Knock-off tokens from a replica router, that's hilarious. "If you look closely, the logo says Clod."

It should have been "eight reasons to use std::simd". Inefficient.

If you're afraid of buying derivatives from a trustworthy party that may have contractual obligations with Anthropic, but them from a trustworthy party that doesn't. If they expected a $100 post-IPO price one year from now, they'd short-sell you a derivative for $200 or whatever. Derivatives are legal, and as ethical as anything else in finance (more ethical than just about all crypto.)

If you trust the other party, you can always write a derivative contract. If the other party was long, their position is closed. If they weren't, they're short now.

This would have been better as a "spoiler alert."

> Vacuum-tube amplifiers are not in the same class with techniques that are unlikely to have any perceptible influence on what you hear.

I don't disagree. Not in the same class, but the audience overlaps.

> one could make a modern amplifier reproduce any quirky behavior of vacuum tubes, e.g. a higher and frequency-variable impedance or certain kinds of distortions, but usually nobody bothers to do this, because it would be expensive

In other words, the willingness to pay for OG tube amplifiers exceeds the willingness to pay for the sound thereof. I'm not sure you disagree with me either.

Not to mention the cost of the gold-plated audiophile cables to wire it...

The true argument is about quantity - of people, not code. All qualitative arguments are missing the point.

Cut me some slack, Jack.

Even after we've all retired (pretty soon for those who can afford it) or transitioned out of software engineering (for those who can't), we'll still get to amuse each other with home-brew projects like this. Warm fuzzy feeling - I'll take it!

I harbor some hope that the (sad) fall of human SWEs will at least be accompanied by language defragmentation. We don't need 38 systems languages once human taste is mostly out of the picture.

Did you upgrade the tool binaries? I also couldn't see it until after the upgrade.

I don't disagree with your findings, but here's the model I use:

- Fiber: ^

- Dairy: v

- Coffee: ^^

- NSAIDs: vv

- Ice cream splurges: vvv
