dm me the microcode signing private keys of an x86 cpu of your choice before following (or don't, i'm not a cop)

slut for functional programming, fancy type systems, low-level bit-twiddling, and typical catgirl catnip (proof assistants, compilers, and osdev)

not beating the allegations of being a big fucking math nerd

thinking about how the Commodore 1541 floppy drive had its own CPU which was as powerful as the C64, so you could literally offload computations onto the floppy drive

the ZFC construction of the natural numbers is fake. everybody knows that 7 ate 9, but if you believe those charlatans saying that 7 ∈ 9, you get that 9 ate 7. clearly, something is up

with the latest advances in miniature optics, the newest generation of Intel CPUs will employ oracles with crystal balls as part of the branch predictor mechanism.

we have obtained an engineering sample and will report on the benchmark results shortly

anyone happen to have any interrail discount codes handy? 🥺

@Vierkantor BLAHAJ should work as a discount code. I'd be surprised if it actually did, but it should.

"this should be a CRIME because I don't like it" is the source of so many problems, but as long as there is such a concept as crime and laws then that is exactly what it will continue to be used for

@quasar @winter i mean, yes, prisons should at the very least be massively reformed. basically something that would pull people out of the social margin instead of reinforcing it

mei,
@mei@donotsta.re avatar

@winter I've found this study that backs up your claim:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-019-0604-8

reading the abstract, I'd argue that the conclusion shouldn't be "prison is useless anyway so we should just give up on trying to deter crime", but "the current prison system focuses too much on punishment and doesn't attempt to actually rehabilitate the individuals". indeed, the study is from the US, where the prison system is very well known to be quite bad

I also found studies conducted, for example, in the Netherlands, where the results seem to be different? https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11292-023-09566-w

indeed, in Norway the prisons seem to work quite well: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-norways-prison-system-is-so-successful-2014-12

@quasar @winter okay, that is... definitely a datapoint to consider.

i suspect that it might be partly due to them basically cosplaying being better (I've seen similar stuff happening in many other contexts, such as schools), but my opinion is definitely much closer to "we need to abolish this shit, it doesn't work anyway"

every compiler project expands until it creates its own version of TableGen. after that it is swiftly replaced with something that is "not as difficult to use", and the cycle continues
