C allowed pointer aliasing, so you always have to refresh reads incase a pojnter modified the value. With any loop, that is just more reads to update dependancies every cycle. When not aliased, you cache value in register. Much later C introduced “restrict” keyword to match fortran performance code. c++ is still fighting this by insisting you work with different types, hence by default you dont get aliasing but that doesnt cover 100% of scenarios.

Maybe we get restrict in C++35

My take is that it is an exciting time to be a mathematician since the frontier for interesting math problems is about to explode, and without prior art or references, it's green field for both AI and human. Think of all the new discoveries we'll make.

Ah yes, more enshitification. The other day Visual Studio 2026 brought in a mandatory update, lots of CoPilot stuff I didnt ask for, but they broke code search so finding who uses a structure is now harder to find. No way to revert to older version of VS2026.

In Academia, this is not how to cite references. Date, link, etc. The quality of the reference is also important, not “such and such blogger”, might as well go to local bar and ask the regular drunk for references.

Because in the real world (tm) a diplomat announcing this has consequences. Press can parrot any fantasy they want, gullible may just as well watch Marvel entertainment, same relation to reality.

[quote]Russia declared war on whole west (including this open forum) in 2014[/quote]

I dont remember seeing Lavrov delivering a declaration of war to this “whole west” diplomatic core. Got any real sources to back this absurd claim?

Hi Pavel. I remember your work on Eddie and Tracker and Queries. Do you still follow the development of Haiku (even if infrequently)?

You also need microphones to pick up ambient sound and play it back at 180 phase shift ..

There is a reason premium audio car packages cost over 2000$
