All the better for us running Linux!

This is great, but the context is that this is for specific inner loops, and it is compared to the C version of that specific inner loop. Typically what was used before this on a computer with avx512 was the avx2 version of the inner loop, and the speedup compared to that version appears to be up to 60%: https://x.com/FFmpeg/status/1852542388851601913 . Then as not a specific inner loop isn’t run all the time, the speedup is probably much less than 60%. This is still sizeable, but the actual speedup in practice with this implementation is far far from 94x.

Yeah 7000-series Ryzen benefits from the avx512 code paths in ffmpeg. I’ve benchmarked a 5900x vs a 7900x specifically for software H.265 decoding and there was a sizeable difference.

Looks like he just threw up

For example, maybe branching is something you’d like to be able to do without it being a nightmare?

What they say for horses is that if you’re going to walk behind one, stay just behind it. That way if it does decide to kick you, the legs won’t be able to build up momentum and will be mostly vertical before hitting you. Under no circumstance walk 1-2m behind it, you can die if it hits you in the head.

Apply at your own risk to cows.

European here, I suggest Bosch or Electrolux, if that’s available in your part of the world.

Jeans in the dryer? They’ll definitely shrink that way.

Why are these QFP chips through-hole? Looks like the bastard child of QFP and DIP.

Under Santa’s hat

Agree with you fully on the shortcut front, and it’s very confusing that ctrl is separate from the command key. The whole keyboard layout is also a nightmare, but this is probably because I’m in Sweden, where the Swedish mac keyboard layout is radically different from the normal Swedish keyboard layout that all other computers use. When I help out someone with programming on a mac, I always end up telling them “please press pipe” or tilde, braces, backslash, or even at-sign, as these are not printed on the keys. They are accessible through the option key, but you’ll have to test all combinations to find which one is where and memorize this.

I looked up the backgammon start position, since then all Google wants to sell me is backgammon boards.
