A few months ago someone wrote a much faster -O0 backend for LLVM, though it seems it didn't get much attention upstream: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/tpde-llvm-10-20x-faster-llvm-o0...

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45072481

There are also codegen projects that don't use LLVM IR that are faster like Cranelift: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/tree/main/crane...

Wow, I had never heard of that ID -> variable feature

But WASM already exists and has many languages that are able to compile to it, why reinvent the wheel?

Or maybe a camera underneath the train? It could be the same kind of thing used in optical mice, or just count the sleepers

That’s a highly simplified, non-technical definition for people who aren’t necessarily computer literate. Compressing it to a single sentence will leave out important details about the word’s usage

On the topic of descriptivism/prescriptivism, Richard Stallman is very pedantic and prescriptive about how people use language (e.g. the GNU/Linux thing) so I don’t really respect him as an authority on this topic at all

Also if there are restrictions you can argue it doesn’t even meet that definition because it’s not “freely available”

I may have mixed up “shared source” and “source available” (which seems more common)

I’ve put a poll on a Discord server I’m on (about calculators, so I don’t think there will be bias) and I’ll report back with what people think

Edit: I had three people vote and they agreed with me but also someone mentioned that I should probably let it go now which fair, it’s too easy to get invested in Internet arguments that don’t matter

In my experience the common and accepted definition generally matches with the one the OSI uses, people generally use “shared source” or something to refer to things that don’t fit that

I like my smart light, though I only use it to turn the light off without having to get out of bed

I guess you mean offical legal documents or something, but your sentence doesn't say that or mention those so it comes across in a very confusing way (it implies that using Word is illegal because every time you type something you alter your document)

I see my comment got upvotes but yours is downvoted for some reason, maybe they only read the first sentence and thought you were disagreeing? (or they agree with this for meastball but not milk for some reason)

I think browsers can already block sites from reading image data from images embedded from other domains so maybe you could use the same logic here

Also WebGL/WebGPU do exist already although I guess that’s easier to disable

What’s wrong with vegetarian meatballs? As a vegetarian I find naming the products after what they’re imitating far more helpful that coming up with some clumsy confusing name that’s obviously trying to imply what they want to say without saying it… does anyone really read the word “vegetarian” and then still think it must have meat in it? I don’t think that’s a real problem

With all those limitations I wonder why they didn’t just use something like C…

I guess the portability of bytecode? A modern version might use WebAssembly instead which feels more suited as it’s much lower level (at least without the modern GC extensions)

I'm from England and I'm pretty sure gotten is a normal word here?

Trail? Terrain? I use it for walking for 10-20mins around a (mostly flat) city and I expect that’s what 90% of people use it for, the comment didn’t mention hiking

They’re saying that not prioritising (disbelieving) GPS data is bad, hence there’s no excuse for it

So that’s the same thing you’re saying

If it's no longer readable by software that's at least far better than no protection, I imagine

I've left my bag with my laptop in a station a year or two ago and went to lost property and they called me when they found it and I got in back in a day or so, I guess if they have a specific lost property office that's kind of their job but it's nice that no one tried to steal it or anything

I don’t understand why people say the Chinese Room thing would prove LLMs don’t think, to me it’s obvious that the person doesn’t understand Chinese but the process does, similarly the CPU itself doesn’t understand the concepts an LLM can work with but the LLM itself does, or a neuron doesn’t understand concepts but the entire structure of your brain does

The concept of understanding emerges on a higher level from the way the neurons (biological or virtual) are connected, or the way the instructions being followed by the human in the Chinese room process the information

But really this is a philosophical/definitional thing about what you call “thinking”

Edit: I see my take on this is listed on the page as the “System reply”

OnlyOffice is HTML5-based too

I've used OnlyOffice, the UI is much closer to modern Office and generally feels more polished, and the compatibility is meant to be better as well

You can have sentences that are perfectly fine but have some markers of ChatGPT like "it's not just X — it's Y" (which may or may not mean it's generated)

You can record in public, but you can’t point cameras at public areas? That seems contradictory

Or is it the fact that it’s always recording that makes the difference or something?

That’s about the same size as the original Super Mario Bros

Wouldn’t that degrade the quality for a lossy format, especially if done repeatedly? I see why people would not want their phone to do that. If you’re uploading it somewhere that might not be supported it would be worth it but I don’t want my phone to silently degrade images that are just sitting in my gallery

I think that this approach could feasibly lead to something far safer than human drivers (from what I’ve seen they already are safer), so it would be human drivers that we would question the need for at that point

When a plane crashes no one says “let’s let people decide if planes should be allowed to fly over their houses”, we say “let’s figure out exactly what went wrong and how to make sure it never happens again” and that’s probably why aviation is one of the safest modes of transportation

You may still need a public train service or subsidies of some kind to make sure unprofitable but vital routes get served

One of the most interesting parts of this to me that not many people are talking about is what their approach will be to making Steam games work on ARM…

I assume they will have put a lot of work into an emulation layer (maybe an existing one like FEX) to make it usable similar to what they did with Proton? This could be really good for the Linux ARM ecosystem in general

Isn’t the situation you’re describing where speeds vary due to queues going to be in heavy traffic where cars aren’t getting close to the speed limit anyway?

(also it’s kind of amazing that 5 parallel lanes is considered normal in the US… I think the most I’ve ever personally seen in the UK is 4 and that’s only on very major routes, and we don’t have any exits on the wrong side of the motorway)

As someone who doesn’t drive but has done a UK theory test - aren’t you supposed to stick to the “slow lane” (no matter how fast you’re going) unless you’re overtaking? And that’s why it’s not actually called the “fast lane” but the “passing lane”. So I don’t see why you would be in the passing lane unless you’re going faster than others anyway. And there are plenty of lorries and coaches (trucks and buses in US terms?) that are physically limited to below the speed limit anyway

Though I’ve heard people treat it differently in the US
