netr0ute··on How is Ultrassembler so fast?
> G++ picks space over time

By definition, that's zero-overhead because Ultrassembler doesn't care about space.

Problem is, there are a lot of RISC-V instruction way longer than that (like th.vslide1down.vx) so hashing is going to be slow.

I thought about hashing, but found that hashing would be enormously slow to compute compared to a perfectly crafted tree.

Furus are "fake gurus." It comes from the Fintwit space where "furus" share their +1000% option trades as if they're geniuses in order to get you to sign up for their expensive Substack.

> LLVM's C++ API

I think I read something about this but couldn't figure out how to use it because the documentation is horrible. So, I found it easier to implement my own, and as it turns out, there are a few HORRIBLE bugs in the LLVM assembler (from cross reference testing) probably because nobody is using the C++ API.

I don't have enough time to watch these kinds of presentations.

Hi everyone, I'm the author of this article.

Feel free to ask me any questions to break the radio silence!

I don't remember this being the case, you could reuse your old MC purchase when they made the transition over.
netr0ute··on FFmpeg School of Assembly Language
The only thing I don't like about this is the focus on x86 assembly, which is a sinking ship because RISC-V is coming to eat its lunch, FAST.

This is basically irrelevant now that better ISAs like RISC-V have a fixed instruction length (2 or 4 bytes) so the fancy algorithm here isn't necessary.

netr0ute··on Analysis of Bach's information-dense music
Modern bachata music didn't exist until 1994, so there's that.
netr0ute··on Analysis of Bach's information-dense music
Although this might be true, it's pretty irrelevant if the kind of music you're analyzing didn't exist a few decades ago.

The problem is, it still boils down to CICO due to thermodynamics. That means they're still eating too much given a certain amount of physical activity.
netr0ute··on Rumble turns off access in Brazil because of government's censorship demands
I don't know, but the end result of that sounds a whole lot similar to what Rumble's doing right now. Therefore, I'd say that for other websites in similar positions, they could just send Brazil's mad demandz to the junk pile.

netr0ute··on Codon: Python Compiler
Is there an example of this? I know there's several areas where Cpython has some funky undefined behavior, but those aren't particularly notable because they're by definition implemention dependent.
