Day 9 of Advent of Compiler Optimisations!

Loop with `i * i` inside? Surely the compiler replaces that expensive multiply with clever addition tricks — like manually tracking an accumulator. But no! The compiler keeps the multiply because it enables something more valuable. Why is "more expensive per iteration" sometimes faster overall? The answer lies in how modern CPUs actually execute code.

Pro-Brexit Majority Of 2016 'Has Literally Died Out', Polling Expert Reveals

The founder of YouGov said there is now an 8.1 million majority in favour of rejoining the EU.

(Also: National Bureau of Economic Research recently claimed: “By the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been without Brexit.”)

Misread "decrypting" as "deercrypting" and I felt like "deercrypting" is some real someone-on-fedi vibes

That was a pretty solid demo! 🟥
A demo where I:
- said no to budget cuts;
- said hi to colleagues from Tilburg, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Groningen. 🙌🏽

Many students attended, next to junior and senior academic staff. I do wonder how many UAS colleagues there were: the only flags, banners and hoodies I saw were from research universities. C'mon hbo, let's #organize! #woinactie

If it is okay for the US to kill survivors, does that mean its okay to execute wounded US soldiers found on a battlefield or POWs?

The Law of War prohibition against killing those who are "hors combat" (out of action) protects the lives of Americans. If we violate that law, we can't complain when others do the same.

It is in our interest for the US to respect and follow the Laws of War.

Did you know about Strict Mode? 🤔

✨ "use strict"; ✨

Strict Mode catches silent errors, making your code more predictable and easier to debug. It also improves performance and helps you write more secure JavaScript code.

This is a really excellent non-fiction piece by @WeirdWriterRobert Kingett about a writing group with a tech bro:

https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence

It is a distilled essence of the social and cultural damage AI/LLM is causing, how AI promoters are cynically destroying people's confidence in their own humanity, while simultaneously trying to ridicule and other people who point out that AI is bullshit. (And this isn't even mentioning the environmental consequences.)

Dear #lazymastodon:

Are accounts like this being run by bots:

I have had several follow me. They don't actually send me a message or try to interact.

I'd love to support Palestinians in need. But it seems like accounts like this are being professionally managed, and misrepresenting what's going on. Once I recognize the deceit in their presentation, why would I trust them with my money?
