combinator_y··on Intel CEO Letter to Employees
lol I forgot about this one, Intel have a very big collection of weirdo execs I guess.
combinator_y··on Optimizing a Math Expression Parser in Rust
I am wondering if there is a different approach that 'peaks' better in terms of perf, like instead of doing : - Optimization 1: Do not allocate a Vector when tokenizing - Optimization 2: Zero allocations — parse directly from the input bytes - Optimization 3: Do not use Peekable - Optimization 4: Multithreading and SIMD - Optimization 5: Memory‑mapped I/O

Example : - Optimization 1: Memory‑mapped I/O - Optimization 2: Do not use Peekable - Optimization 3: Do not allocate a Vector when tokenizing - Optimization 4: Zero allocations — parse directly from the input bytes Conclusion - Optimization 5: Multithreading and SIMD

I might be guessing, but in this order probably by Optimization 3 you would reach already a high throughput that you wouldn't bother with manual simd nor Multithreading. (this is a pragmatic way, in real life you will try to minimize risk and try to reach goal as fast as possible, simd/Multithreading carry a lot of risk for your average dev team)

combinator_y··on Would You Like an IDOR With That? Leaking 64m McDonald's Job Applications
On top of the shit system in place, there is no corporate control internally (5th screenshot "NGA FS" ...)
combinator_y··on Elon Musk's Grok praises Hitler, shares antisemitic tropes in new posts
no, it's on purpose. if you follow what elon does, he is A/B testing and 'fixing' things when it goes viral.

He is doing the worst thing that could happen, leading us (users of x, USA, humanity) into the abyss with his obsession and sickness (yes he is sick and he should go see a therapist)
