Does it rid you of infection if you've already got it?

No. There is some very limited evidence that it may help existing infections but not enough to say with any certainty.

How many "functions" compile to movd?

All the methods tagged as "zero-cost" compile to movd or less. The earlier version of archsimd (1.26, for amd64) supported these as direct "AsFooNxM" methods, and there were a lot of them. I am not 100% satisfied with either approach, but don't have a better idea and we must settle on something.

Two of the "conversion" methods between int and uint vectors compiled to movd or less (but the convert from int to float32 vector does not) and are actually identical to corresponding zero-cost reshapes.

Conversion between int vectors and masks may be zero-cost; it depends on the platform (zero cost on Wasm, NEON, AVX, AVX2; change in representation on AVX512 and SVE).

There's also pattern-based optimization going on in the backend of the compiler, so if (on AVX512 or SVE) you do some operation followed by an IfElse, odds are pretty good the two "methods" will compile down to a single instruction. We did this API factoring so that we could support (many) fewer methods, and it also increases the similarity between different platforms.

Games making their save files front and center might be an improvement. The old days of them being in the install directory were good. Then some started putting them in "My Documents" reasonable for alleged security reasons. Then they vanished under "%APPDATA%". Now some don't even have the name in the path thanks to the dumb idea of "cloud saves".

You would turn up unannounced with things you think are missing from the fridge surveillance camera? Here's how that should go: Visit old person. Check fridge. Check cupboards. Visit store. Visit old person.

You jest but having elderly parents tens of miles outside of town it's a timesaver, luckily I can still request photos of things.

Looks like a lot of european borders around me (of various govt. levels) so it would probably be good for generating a video game map.

You can't make new accounts on twitter. You can only use existing apple or google accounts.

I think you can, if you install their app.

I don't have a smartphone.

Then use one of the other options. It's not really that difficult.

I have neither a Google account, nor an Apple account.

The options are: install the app or register using a google or apple account. Since the former is the same as the latter it all collapses down to: register using a google or apple account.

> these sites are trying to capture all the users they can as registered users before it's gone completely

With the shuttering of nitter if this is what twitter wants then the least they could do is let you create an account. You need apple or google for that. It seems like they shut the front door some time ago and now drew the curtains so people couldn't peer in.

They managed to make it enticing enough for me just to see one person's posts to enter my email but said "fuck off and get the app". I'll have to make do with the 5 posts they show without login

Screw that. I want to go and I think it is horrible that we didn't bother for 50 years.

The EU didn't have to do anything. The User Agent can already handle everything from denying cookies to blocking requests for certain resources.

Let me know when you find a User Agent that can smack a CEO over the head with a virtual cluebat whenever he sells a list of email addresses that signed up to his site, because that's what the regulation is about and I certainly don't see how a UA could enforce it.

The user agent can refuse to store cookies, but it can't do much against supercookies (cookie-like features not knowingly implemented by the user agent programmers) or fingerprinting: you need something like legislation to curb practices like that.

If you can make a vacuum container lighter than air then go for it.
