PeanutButter, why do I love you so much. I could just swim in you for days on end. Eat you up. The extra chunky version of you is the best. Running on a Toasted buns. So good.

Well improving slightly aarch64 builtins. Always love doing that ...

Repeat after me, don't reply to folks on reddit even in r/gcc and then decide to look at their profile to just find racist/transpobic things posted.
I replied to someone on r/gcc to help them out. And then when they didn't understand simple C, I went to look at their posts. They posted a link to someone going off on a "purge of anti-woke folks" from the Godot game engine. It was a youtube channel that was pro-open source too.

@QasimRashid The big suprise for me in this list is the 2 from Georgia And Tim Kaine.

There are articles but it is in the more focused media.

@hipsterelectron @foolishowl Intel first said 10nm was delay until 2016 even:
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33549916

Looking back now reading these articles shows Intel had troubles long long before. And Intel just a fucked up company.

@hipsterelectron @foolishowl There were signs back in 2018 about Intel being broken too:

@hipsterelectron @foolishowl Even before Covid:

@hipsterelectron @foolishowl And Intel mentioned in 2020 they were having issues with their fab too:

@hipsterelectron @foolishowl https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/7178 Goes to show the CHIPS act didn't pass during an election year. Not even as a win for Trump. Took 2 more years to get it passed. Under Biden.
Also look at group pushed it the most, Republicans. And TSMC started to the idea of a fab in the US during Trump's term too https://www.reuters.com/article/technology/taiwans-tsmc-to-build-arizona-chip-plant-as-us-china-tech-rivalry-escalates-idUSKBN22Q38T/

The whole thing is a big mess.

@inthehands I can only think some intern was told to write the brief and that intern used ChatGPT. And nobody proof read it or checked it before filing it.

Or it was done on purpose to show the dangers of AI and deek fakes. And how close it could become a reality without some digging into it at all. Yes Lawyers and judges will catch it but will the common person will though?

Today has been a wash. I only finally getting through all of the patches and bug reports. Still have not finished replying to the review of https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-November/669065.html . But at least it was approved with some changes; still need to go and do those changes.
On the glibc side, just waiting on getting approvals to be able to push things myself. But at least those patch was approved.

@thomasjwebb I still don't know which one I should use really. Since I consider myself non-gender. I present partly fem partly masc.
I feel uncomfortable using the men's bathroom some of the time. Using the women's bathroom is even worse.

@Marty @riotnrrd BY the way LLM and LLVM are different things too :). LLM is large language model that is the AI/ML model that will be used.

Ading a new internal checker in GCC. Oh you would think it would just work. WRONG, Things are not as well defined as you would think. Punt until GCC 16 because well stage3. At least I filed bug to track this progress.

@mutinyc Just thinking how fascists/racists went from "ragtime is just noise", "jazz is just noise" to "rock is just noise" to "rap is just noise" and even more recently
"electronic/house/dubstep is just noise".

@left_adjoint Depends on the level you want to do.
For compiler level; I found the ISA documents at https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0602/2023-12/Base-Instructions?lang=en help a lot (and the software performance guides; I don't have a link right now).
For kernel level the arm ARM (for armv8.x-a) I found useful to understand how things work. But almost of this is very low level and almost never useful for a beginging to begin with.

From one bug report becomes 3. This is what I get from looking into fixing something.

@sidereal @hipsterelectron @ciggysmokebringer Since free source success, capitalists have turned towards the subscription model for software sales. Basically buying software is not useful alone, you need to buy the support instead. Now IBM was the fist to push this model in the 70s way before anyone else learned about it. Though they did with hw support. But hw support is no longer being handled that way because most hw doesn't need that kind of setup any more.
