While I'm a fan of unsigned (size_t mostly) there have been a few times when the tax for converting them to float was shockingly high:

1-2 instructions for signed vs 11 including a branch for unsigned.

(in times like these I found casting to signed first preferable)

ICC profiles present a similar problem and remarkably Instagram, ostensibly a photo-sharing web-site, does not respect them when scaling images (or at least it didn't a few years ago when I started posting photos to it from my PC); when I uploaded full-resolution SLR-resolution originals the skin-tones would get all screwed up. If I exported at the final resolution, even with the same ICC profile, they were fine.

Not only is LEA more flexible I believe it's preferred to SHL even for simple operations because it doesn't modify the flags register which can make it easier to schedule.

His point is well taken but I find the reverse helpful when you're shooting in some sort of official capacity: subjects are willing to put up with a lot more fuss and bother when staring down the barrel of a girthy lens.

We've quite enjoyed Linode (Akamai) for some custom servers (not http) over the last few years because they include DDOS scrubbing; it's not clear to what extent they'll defend us but our last partner would routinely null-route our servers when attacked and we haven't had any problems since we switched.

Evidently it's not all Steam Deck either; I checked our internal stats and on PC yesterday 1.24% of Warframe players were using WINE and another 0.76% were playing on Deck!

My first thought was this blog article I saw on HN a while back:

https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/should-we-use-llms-for-ch...

He argued, persuasively I thought, that "this is an area where truthfulness is of paramount importance" and consequently would be extremely ill-suited to AI.

This reminds me of the PlayStation/2 developer manual which, when describing the complicated features of system, said something like "there is no profit in making it easy to extract the most performance from the system."
