I thought charter schools and public schools received the same $/student.

What’s funny is the jerky animation actually communicates so much more than the smooth animation.

I attended high school in the US in the early 00’s and cell phones were absolutely banned from classrooms. You could keep them in your locker and use them between classes, but that was it.

I attended college in the late 00’s, and I don’t think I took a single digital exam. Quizzes, sure, but for final exams even CS was pencil and paper (or a final project, which admittedly will have issues in the post-LLM era).

FWIW there is a new-ish kind of intermediate genre between classic LAN/ranked multiplayer and single player, which is the whole “survival” genre. Generally speaking, they can be played as single player games, but also allow for small-scale co-op, synchronously or asynchronously. So even if you and a buddy have different schedules, you can make progress separately but still occasionally play together.

Valheim, Grounded, Ark, Satisfactory are a few among many others.

I think “PhD level knowledge” is probably a more meaningful and accurate phrase.

Key developers being the leading term doesn’t exactly help the AGI narrative either.

I think what the person you’re responding to meant was that you can generate a fandom for the content that was generated for you. So, you can get the feeling of being in a fandom despite there being no actual other humans that know what you’re talking about.

Neither, they’re just the most convenient excuses for instituting draconian laws.

Nowadays I’ve noticed fewer applications have a save icon at all, relying instead on auto-save.

Having lived in the U.S. my entire life, I’ve worked closely with many Iranian-born and -educated mathematicians, computer scientists, and software engineers. To OP’s point, I’ve never encountered anyone from Saudi Arabia in those fields.

But also automated long-haul trucking has been pretty clearly on the short term horizon for the last decade. I think most young people know that this is coming, and hence trucking is probably not the best career to invest your time in.

Meta’s AI org does a heck of a lot more than produce LLM’s. R&D on ads targeting and ranking more than pays for itself.

Curious what you make of the The Last Jedi then: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_wars_the_last_jedi

A terribly lazy movie that even the popcorn-guzzling public could see through, but which mysteriously received rave reviews from the “culturally elite” critics.

Oof, thank you for the correction.

There’s a well-known in-place implementation of swap of the form:

  a ^= b
  b ^= a
  a ^= b

(Here ^ denotes bitwise XOR)

Allowing for the mask, one could do an in-place version of swap_if via

  a ^= (b & mask)
  b ^= (a & mask)
  a ^= (b & mask)

The in-place version of swap is generally discouraged because compilers are smart (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36906/what-is-the-fastes...) but I do wonder whether the masking in swap_if obscures intent to the compiler enough to close the gap.

Assuming the mask is passed in, Godbolt puts OP’s swap_if at 26 instructions, versus the above swap_if at 17 instructions: https://godbolt.org/z/Wedco5hPv

You may wish to review Google’s sources of revenue. There is one source which contributes over 50%, and it’s not the ad exchange.
