The C preprocessor is practically turing complete, in the same sense that C it self or your computer is practially turing complete, but not strictly.

How much of a thing is this in practice? To me this also feels driven by the expectations of the host towards the guests beeing fully accommodated by them. It's probably a mixture of both.

Like, I'm happy to bring my own food, when invited. E.g. I would presume most vegans would be cool with bringing their own or ordering, as you are used to that anyways.

bringing your own food is an imposition and kills the vibe. If you don't see that, that's part of the cultural gap.

I see that it's currently not culturally accepted, but fundamentally is also a case of entitlement from the hosts part.

Also, rust could just be based and make -mno-strict-align the default.

I found this post interesting in that reguard: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/thXohzXrWCA2EhZCH/mateusz-ba...

There also is an insentive to silently give prominent people (e.g. Linus) or reasearchers like this custom tuned system prompts or even more powerful models.

I suppose nobody sane would give their AI internet access (even read) while training it. Though if they did, I don't think they'd want this to be public, because how can you even protect against this?

I wonder how much this matters for python. As long as the important dependencies like numpy runtime dispatch RVV, it should probably be fine.

Zba would probably give a small boost. Zbb gives a substantial boost to perf for applications that use clz/popc heavily, but I don't think that would apply to python.
