Loop unrolling is a basic compiler optimization and depending on the machine language and processor instruction set should be faster taking into account all the house keeping required to execute a conditional, jump, move register values etc. This article is missing the analysis of why. If someone didn’t “like” it and was offended then that seems like an equally silly reason. On the surface 256k to init less does seem silly, but what if it was faster?

This is flawed. Turquoise is not blue or green. Also different displays will show different colors. And a lot of displays aren’t great at producing the hues in the green color space. Idk the test seems arbitrary, but I’m not color expert

I find the title a bit misleading. I think it should be titled It’s Faster to Copy Memory Directly than Send a Protobuf. Which then seems rather obvious that removing a serialization and deserialization step reduces runtime.

So this still uses the JNI for the ui? Unfortunate that is

I find it strange that number 1 is not about political capital and how you it got it or maintain it.

This is cool, but the UX of the arrows should follow the scroll mode of the device. You drag down on an iPhone to scroll up. Following the arrow and dragging up causes nothing to happen

This is cool, but do you throw away stuff when done with it or do you keep things at another permanent location? Like the tent that isn’t brought on every trip?

But we do. A series of mathematical functions are applied to predict the next tokens. It’s not magic although it seems like it is. People are acting like it’s the dark ages and Merlin made a rabbit disappear in a hat.

I think a lot of engineers think, “I thought of a complicated set of abstract ideas that mean nothing to anyone else but will demonstrate my superior intellect” and then make that. It took a lot of self control to not curse.
