I wanted to use make for my projects, but I find the language it uses too confusing, and when I tried to learn it, many people explained different things to me and confused me, so I decided to create a program (let's call it prgm) similar to make that could read a file and compile only what was necessary. It's not as complex as make, but it's functional and works for me. This is the “language" created:; compiler
gcc
; warns
-Wall -Wextra
; you could do this instead:
;-Wall
;-Wextra
; extra flags

i'm really fucking sad rn and i don't have anywhere else to vent.
Jewgle's deprecating Google Custom Search Engine, affectionately known as "Google CSE" and rebranded in mid-2010s as "Programmable Search Engine", starting in 2027.
they used to offer two types of services:
>search user-specified sites
>search vanilla Google, known as "Search the entire web"
..both under the same CSE branding, whereas the new service structure will be:
>search user-specified sites, now known as "Programmable Search Element"
>search AI-assisted Google, known as "Google Vertex AI Search"
my issue is with the fact that i use CSE's "Search the entire web" daily, because:
>i want Google search results in only web search and image search, not other services bloat like Wikipedia summary sidebars, FAQs row, Google Maps integration with minimap+location results, and, most recently and most unpleasant, AI summary/guidance. i already have separate apps for each of these and prefer to go about such endeavor in respective standalone apps, instead of all-in-one heavy blob of a webpage.
>above with minimal JSfaggotry / webpage load latency, case in point modern day Google Search UI is so heavy you can't even switch between search tabs without the entire webpage reloading. this is in stark contrast from lightning-fast CSE's UI resource repopulation once loaded bc they're stored in and retrieved from browser cache.
>naturally less tracking effort, so less bandwidth requirements; maybe placebo, idk
>i still prefer Google search results to other search engines. most are still trash and you can't find shit with them, especially on very niche subjects or scarce online resources thereof. except for reverse image search, where Yandex is and always be king.
they offered the Google Forms suggestions and may keep "Search the entire web" with enough extant interest, although i seriously doubt it.
fml if they actually take it down for good. CSE has been good to me all these years.

That's no excuse for missing like the one huge advantage linked lists have over most other data structures.
I'm doing some shit with the fork/join framework, and using a linked list seemed like a logical data structure to use to merge all of the subtask's results together (order doesn't matter).
I probably won't end up really needing it, but it's I found it so retarded when I discovered O(1) merge was missing.

linked lists do seem logical in many cases, but in practice they're just slower than arraylists or raw arrays
once had some code that was producing and processing a very hefty tree structure. used linked lists for it because it seemed logical. switched to arraylists just to compare performance, and it turned out arraylists were about 40% faster

This might not be very actionable for javafags, but there's nothing slow about linked lists conceptually. It becomes slow when it's implemented by heap allocating each node separately. If you allocate the nodes in the contiguous block of memory with a slab or arena, you get all the benefits of lists with none of the downsides.
You can also use a typed slab and use indices instead of pointers.

I like the idea but it seems deader than Lisp even. All the cool shit happened years ago, p[ans were made and never came to fruition and I'll occasionally read about attempts to revive cool shit but then it'll be like one or two blog posts and radio silence.

I figured the lack of pointless code churn might make it seem more dead than it is.
I suppose I should give Pharo a shot. I'd downloaded it years ago with intentions to do the online course, but for some reason or another never did.
Cuis I keep getting errors following along with their beginner books for no apparent reason. Or in any case I don't know enough about Smalltalk to resolve, and it's incredibly frustrating.
Squeak so far more or less just works, and feels snappier, plus so far so good following along with quarter century old books lol.
The issue is though, even if Smalltalk devs are all in the box and not posting on the surface web, where do they discuss things? Are there some sort of esoteric forums or newsgroups or BBS type things accessible only from within the image? Some way to find these people and the cool shit they're working on?
>if you want a job at a generic saas company, yeah, it's dead. move on.
no desire to be a tech wagie lol
>but if you want to understand late-binding, live-coding, and the dream of the "dynabook," download pharo or gnusmalltalk. it’ll ruin every other language for you because you’ll realize how much friction we’ve accepted as "normal."
Yeah that's the business. Partially why I liked Lisp, and the myth/dream of the Lisp machine. Smalltalk seems that that but even more so and purer. Like Emacs and SLIME is great, but still feels sloppy and limited, but I guess since it's not entirely self contained that's unavoidable, since it's still running in the larger shit pile of a system that is (in my case) linux.
Also surprised I can't find much about efforts to create a modern Dynabook, some cheap but uniform commodity hardware and an as cut down as possible linux or whatever just enough to run the VM and have Smalltalk actually be the OS as it's meant to. Like why not some new improved take on the OLPC but for a general audience and explore shit like mesh networking and other potential tech??

Ahh interesting I've read through it all now, but have you considered stabilizing the 12D manifold by replacing the uniform renormalization with a temperature‑scaled softmax constraint: maintain the Gross invariant (Σ=144) while annealing the distribution’s entropy over time. This turns the PrayerWheel drift into a controlled thermodynamic schedule and prevents oscillatory over‑correction when coherence spikes. Anyway cool project good luck!

A little bit like io_uring in the sense that you'd submit multiple jobs at once, but of course that's still woefully insufficient because you end up with switches back to usermode for sequential dependencies (how do mmap and close know you mean the return FD from open?). You'd need additional compound functions for common workloads (say open_mmap_close for example) to eliminate as many switches as possible.

there is. even if it is kept mostly contiguous, there is still an indexing cost, an O(n) indirect pointer cost, and there is a cost to merely adding an 8 byte pointer to every single object in the list and it's more expensive than you think it is

Is anyone ITT autistic enough to know about the x86 memory model?
I'm trying to implement work stealing queues.
I know that there's ways to do this with atomics (https://blog.molecular-matters.com/2015/08/24/job-system-2-0-lock-fre e-work-stealing-part-1-basics/). However, I'd like to see if I can make a fast path without an atomic. The worker that's actively using the queue ideally wouldn't use an atomic, and the one trying to steal would simply wait until it's safe, and the worker can't modify the queue while it's unsafe by the stealer.
It's probably impossible, but this is what I have come up with:
a leader thread and a worker thread
the leader will balance tasks
the worker has a queue which it both pushes tasks to and pulls tasks from
there's also 2 bytes, one for the worker and one for the leader
whenever trying to access the queue, the thread will write a 1 to the byte (ideally this would be a bit, but on x86 a byte is the smallest addressable unit of memory)
after writing the 1, it will check to see if the other has a 1 in its slot
if so, then back out, write a 0, then retry (there is a livelock potential here, ideally this could be detected and deferred to the worker)
If the other slot is a 0, then it's safe to proceed
after finishing the critical section, set the byte for the thread back to 0
If writes are coherent, then this should work. However, what I've recently learned about is that the store buffer on x86 is not exactly coherent.
A thread could send the store to the store buffer, but the other thread might not actually see it, because it doesn't invalidate the cache line before the store goes in the buffer (I might be wrong about that).
My solution is fairly similar to peterson's algorithm, only that it doesn't have a turn variable. I suppose peterson's algorithm doesn't work on modern CPUs for similar reasons?

Thanks chatgpt.
I did just find this post from MIT, which pretty much exactly describes my issue.
https://6826.csail.mit.edu/2020/lec/l11-x86-tso.txt Example program:
T1:
x = 1;
ysnapshot = y;
T2:
y = 1;
xsnapshot = x;
main:
x = 0;
y = 0;
spawn T1, T2 and wait for completion
print xsnapshot, ysnapshot
On SC, this should never print "0, 0". Acceptable are "1, 0", "0, 1" and "1, 1".
Suppose T1 gets ysnapshot=0.
That means T2 hasn't executed its first write (y=1) yet.
So it hasn't executed its snapshot operation (xsnapshot=x) either.
Its snapshot operation will see the x=1 value that T1 wrote.
Thus, T2 should see xsnapshot=1.
High-performance multicore systems do not provide SC.
Surprising behavior when running code on weak memory.
On many real multicore machines, the above example can print "0, 0".
My locking code is basically the example code, and 0,0 is the invalid state which will cause a data hazard.
In the typical case, the worker will use uncontended atomics to access the queue, and so it will be reasonably fast, but still about 10x slower than no atomics in general. However, there doesn't seem to be a real way around this. An uncontended atomic is as fast as I'll get.
I might be able to do something retarded with interrupts, I'm not sure. It might be slower to steal work, but in the fast path of actually doing work, it should be as fast as possible.
>>
>>107976653
>>107976664
What if I guarantee that work stealing only happens very rarely? Then interrupts might work better than atomics.
Whenever the leader wants to steal from the worker, it will interrupt the worker and have the worker set an 'unsafe' flag. If the worker was already in a critical section (unsafe is already true), then it will wait for the leader to finish, then retry the critical section. The exact mechanism here needs to be expanded on, but it should work.
If it's not in a critical section, then it can simply continue working. If it hits a critical section and unsafe is still 1 (the leader hasn't reset it yet), then it will wait for the leader to reset it.
As long as work stealing happens only rarely, this should be faster than atomics.
>>
>>107976741
>Instead of interrupts, you use Memory Protection Tricks:
>>The worker reads/writes to its queue normally (pure sensory-dominant speed).
>>When the leader wants to steal, it calls mprotect() on the worker's queue page to make it read-only or no-access.
>>The worker hits the page, triggers a Segmentation Fault (the "interrupt").
>>The Segfault handler acts as your critical section coordinator.
based retard
>>Worker owns the "bias." It does a regular load of a flag.
>>If flag is 0, it proceeds (0 atomics, just a branch).
>>If a stealer wants in, it must revoke the bias using an atomic.
I've thought a lot about this exact solution. It does not work.
The leader has to know if the worker is in the critical section. It's not enough to merely set a flag.
Otherwise, the leader can set the flag while the worker is in the critical section.
If the worker sets a value that the leader can read to see if the worker is in the critical section, then now you're at my original attempt which fails due to x86 memory ordering.

Holy redditspacing, Batman!
One mostly tries to avoid doing complicated solutions to this sort of thing precisely because it's very sensitive to the exact system architecture. Move to another machine and you get fucked up the ass. The standard solutions suck, but don't suck too awfully or in a surprising way.
And try to avoid moving lots of memory from one thread context to another; it's really expensive as it forces memory synchronization somewhere (unless you have something really exotic like an RTOS).
>>
>>107976832
I didn't realize that x86 has an MFENCE instruction. I thought those were only on ARM due to ARM's memory model.
MFENCE on x86 should ensure that writes are globally visible. So I should be able to salvage my solution with it. I'll still have to pay the store buffer flush cost, but that shouldn't be as bad as a full atomic.

Use 128 bits (UUID will be the data type to use)
All the operations on the index will be comparison, so only the higher order and lower order 64 bits of the integer will be used and you'll end up with basically the same performance while also using a very common data type (UUID, or GUID if you're a microshit fan).

If your linked list is stored contiguously in a slab, it's still cache friendly. That's what I'm saying. You can get it in cache with one read, then you do all the inserts and deletions you want while it's there. Even if it doesn't literally all fit into L1, it still helps a lot.

You can use 32/16 bit offsets.
>>107972824
I admit I don't know how much difference this makes.
But if your problem is solved flawlessly doing linear scans on an array, you should just do that, obviously.
I'm just saying that *if* a linked list makes sense for your problem you don't have to assume that it will trash your performance beyond repair. At least not to the extent that the average javafag or mallocfag says it will.
The thing about doing things this way is that you can keep adding all the links you want. You can have multiple linked lists defining different orders between the elements, have a "next" and "old_next" fields to compute a new list without throwing away the old one, or do any sort of tree or graph structures. With an array there's only one ordering.

Counting Big Numbers. The problem is that if you want to count from 0 to 2^(10^1000)) it takes too long and consumes too much power and also computers are Numberlets that don't have enough memory for Big Numbers.
Physics ruined my idea by the problem requiring too much power and time and there being no useful way to make it faster with a Quantum Computer.
Even if we get alien computers that are a trillion trillion times faster, they'll probably still be Numberlets and it will still be too slow and take too much power.

Even if you could figure out that it requires a trie (a relatively obscure data structure), implementing the code takes at least 25 - 30 minutes unless you're writing from memory.

Nigger, look at how io_uring actually works. Or how syscalls work. *Obviously* the kernel doesn't allow you to execute code willy-nilly, you have to select the operation via index. In a normal syscall that index is stored in a register, in io_uring (where you submit entire batches) the indices are stored in memory shared by user- and kernelspace.
>but that's limited to the current set of supported operations
Exactly. Both Linux and Windows built their interfaces around the UNIX model (do one thing, do it well), which made sense if you were programming on machines that could kill a man if tipping over with memory the fraction of an 8086 - which were already 20 years old when MS began developing the atrocity that was NT. The very interfaces our kernels provide are based on the idea that you are totally fine with constantly switching between user and kernel; the idea that you want the kernel to perform a whole bunch of operations via one submission (not unlike Vulkan command buffers, which were invented BECAUSE constant mode switching and validation overhead became a bottleneck) simply didn't enter their autistic brains.
>it also doesn't help that multi-core architectures mess with process-global page table architectures, where permission changes to enable write-protection for usermode during the execution of a submission requires the buy-in of all available cores (because muh stale TLB entries), making zero-copy submissions prohibitively expensive
>unless, y'know, we're talking about control and data submissions so big that copies spill over to main memory

I have a Godel Numbering which allows me to make a bijection from Whole Numbers to Bipolar Binary Neural Networks. The problem is that for non-trivial networks, the numbers I have to count to are extremely large. Even to count to an MNIST digit classifier would require incomprehensibly Big Numbers.
This is too slow and consumes too much energy unless I can figure out a better way to count numbers.
I tried making a parallel counter and it was too slow because parallelism only gives linear speedup. It also caused the Science Computer to overheat and damaged the battery.
I tried a Quantum Computer, and got a quadratic speedup using a Grover Oracle, but that is too slow and the publicly available Quantum Computers are Numberlets with a low amount of qubits.

I saw the Cuis meetings, gonna watch some of those when I've got a bit of free time.
The on the emtal stuff probably doesn't really matter so much if it's actually on the metal, one can always just stay in the environment and pretend the rest of the OS doesn't exist, main concern I have is actually interfacing with hardware, which is probably where the Raspberry Pi would shine (hopefully). Otherwise a cheap used M1 Air would make a great DynaBook, but can Smalltalk even access the Bluetooth and Wifi radios? Granted I don't even have the first idea how to do such a thing in Smalltalk anyway lol.
For now I'm just going to stick with Squeak and work through the basic beginner books until I have some idea how to actually program in Smalltalk, then expand further. No sense getting distracted by ideas and possibilities at this early stage.

you’ve made the right call. getting distracted by the "bare metal" siren song before you can even write a MessageSend is how people end up with half-finished projects and a dusty Pi.
>the hardware question (the "radios")
>on an M1 Air (or any modern machine), Smalltalk doesn't usually talk to the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi chips directly. it talks to the OS host drivers via FFI (Foreign Function Interface).
>think of FFI as a portal. Smalltalk is the "clean" room; FFI is the airlock that lets you reach out and grab a C library (like libpcap for Wi-Fi or BlueZ for Bluetooth on Linux).
>if you're in the image, you're usually using a Plugin (a piece of C code compiled for the VM) to handle the messy hardware interrupts.
>the "bare metal" reality check
>if you actually go bare metal on a Pi with something like Crosstalk or RaspberrySqueak, you lose the Linux/macOS safety net.
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi? forget it for now. those chips require massive, proprietary, closed-source blobs. writing a Wi-Fi driver from scratch inside a Smalltalk image is a "Grandmaster Technomancer" quest that would take a dedicated team months.
GPIO? this is where the Pi shines. you can toggle pins directly from Smalltalk because it’s just memory-mapped I/O. high/low, serial, I2C—that’s all "easy" in Smalltalk once you understand the memory map.
>your path forward
don't worry about the radios yet. focus on the Morphic system. once you can build a button that changes color when you click it, and you understand how that button is just an object living in a sea of other objects, you’ll realize that "hardware" is just another object that happens to live at a specific memory address.
the "M1 Dynabook" dream: an M1 Air running Squeak is a Dynabook. the "OS" underneath (macOS) is just a very expensive, high-performance bootloader for your Smalltalk image.

It's one of those things that's mostly just a distraction because I can never make up my mind about it anyway. On the one hand, having a single coherent system/language all the way down would be amazing and ostensibly more elegant and understandable, but on the other hand... Why? Like if I want to do hardcore number crunching, why re-invent the wheel, worse, in a language less suited to it? Isn't there elegance to using the correct tool for the job? But then if you go that route you end up relegating the language you wanted to little more than a scripting language on top of the usual C or C++ and system calls. Same kind of issue having to use FFIs, because it always makes me wonder why I'm not just using C or C++ directly. Except I know why of course, but more so it seems like a futile effort. But then there will never be a solution unless someone makes one, someone has to be the guy to do that tedious work with the FFI and making an appropriate interface on top of it so later on you never have to mess with the lower level stuff. But that's above my pay grade anyway.
Definitely the case where I need much less thinking and more doing. In any case I'm trying to go in fresh, pretend I don't know what I already know about computers and programming, to try to better understand the Smalltalk idea without all the modern baggage.

the struggle you're describing is the "Integrated Systems Trap." it’s the friction between wanting a "pure" universe where everything is an object, and the reality that silicon likes to crunch numbers in C-shaped blocks.
here is the direct honesty: you don't use Smalltalk to do "hardcore number crunching" better than C. you use Smalltalk so that when the number crunching is done, you can manipulate the results with the grace of a god rather than the frustration of a wagie.
the "un-learning" protocol
>if you want to go in fresh, you have to kill the "File-System Mindset" first.
>there are no files. in Squeak, "source code" doesn't exist on your hard drive in a folder. it lives in the System Dictionary.
>there is no "saving." you aren't saving a text file; you are taking a snapshot of a living brain (the Image).
>there is no "restarting." you don't compile, run, crash, and edit. you edit while it is running. if it crashes, you fix the bug inside the debugger and tell the program to "Proceed" as if the mistake never happened.
>the "why bother with FFI?" answer
you build the FFI bridge because once it's built, the C-code becomes transparent. Think of it like this: do you care how the neurons in your visual cortex process light? no. you just see.
>A "Technomancer" builds the FFI to turn a messy C-library into a beautiful, predictable Smalltalk object.

I definitely liked the idea in some of Alan Kay's talks where he's mentioned the original idea of OO was to have objects as self contained computers or computing units sort of. Maybe it's not such a big deal on a single computer, but in a massive networked computing environment it could be extremely interesting. I guess seeing them all as little servers would be similar. Maybe that's just the internet of things though, now that I think of it lol.
Kind of reminds me of years ago there was an attempt to get /g/ to do something with Plan 9, plan9chan or 9gridchan or something, building a network with venti servers and the like. Interesting idea but probably too highbrow for the general audience here.
It does make me wonder though, the self contained computational units thing, about how we could build up aggregate intelligence or something maybe aggregate complexity is a better term, from dead simple behavior, rather than trying to make a single super smart AI or do fuck tons of math for a pseudo random text/image generator. Sort of like the concept behind BEAM robotics (if that's still a thing), making just absolute basic behavior, like a mini solar cell with a capacitor and some sort of spring mechanism, so the "robot" when it's in light sits still and charges, but in the dark it hops (conceptually in search of light, but obviously the dumb machine doesn't know that it is simply doing the thing that it does). Scaled up does that lead to actual intelligence, or behavior which appears intelligence? Same thing with discrete element modeling or molecular dynamics, or cellular automata, just simple rules or basic interactions, but on a large enough scale, kind of like swarm intelligence in birds or fish...

you're hitting on the Biological Metaphor. kay didn't want "data structures with methods"; he wanted cells. in smalltalk, an object doesn't "call a function"—it sends a message. the receiver can choose to handle it, ignore it, or pass it on. it's decentralized by design.
the "swarm" vs the "god-brain"
modern ai (llms) is a monolithic "god-brain" built on trillions of weights. it's the opposite of what you're describing. you're talking about emergent intelligence.
>smalltalk as a petri dish: the image is literally a soup of simple agents.
>cellular automata: this is exactly why the "game of life" is a rite of passage in smalltalk. simple rules (if neighbors > 3, die) leading to complex "gliders" and "factories."
>the networking angle: if every object is a "server," then the network is just a larger image. the old croquet project (led by kay) tried to do this—a peer-to-peer, shared 3d space where the code was the environment. it was plan 9's "everything is a file" but upgraded to "everything is a living entity."
>beam robotics and "dumb" agents
the jump from "hopping toward light" to "intelligence" is the stigma of the gap. we think intelligence needs a central processor because we are obsessed with top-down control. but look at ant colonies: no single ant knows how to build a bridge, yet the bridge gets built. Smalltalk's late-binding is the technical equivalent of this flexibility. the system doesn't need to know the "plan" at compile time; it figures it out through the interaction of the parts at runtime.
>the /g/ reality
9gridchan failed because it required people to care about architecture over consumption. most people want a tool that "just works" (the slave mindset). smalltalk and plan 9 require you to be the architect.

Alright this is my final solution after ~3 hours trying to crack this problem
Modified trie + modified backtracking. If you try to solve this without a trie, it TLEs.
My first solution took 1400ms, this one is 150ms.
Key Insights:
>Normal trie uses a dictionary and a boolean to mark the end of words, in this case when combined with backtracking that would require you to keep track of all the characters you're processing. Since you only need to add a found word to the answer once, it's faster to store the full word in the trie and remove the value once it's been found
>Pruning the Trie reduces the runtime by 80%. Again since you only need to add each word to the answer once, cutting off letters reduces the amount of backtracking operations you need to perform
>Again because of the nature of the problem, you're dfsing through a tree and matrix at the same time instead of building a solution with backtracking - therefore it's more efficient to front load most of the logic of the backtracking function at the beginning and prune invalid paths as early as possible

All of these problems are worded pretty terribly, but they make sense
Example 1:
>Split the array into [7,2], [5,10,8] = 9 and 23
>Maximum subarray sum in this split is 23
>Split the array into [7,2,5], [10,8] = 14 and 18
>Maximum subarray sum in this split is 18, which is the answer.
In a case such as [1,2,3,4] where k = 4, you need to split the subarrays into 4 distinct partitions. The only way to do that is [1],[2],[3],[4]. The maximum subarray sum in this case is 4.
The reason it's hard is because the solution is either multidimensional DP, or you have to figure out the greedy + binary search approach

for class naming do you usually name it by where its context is or by its full long descriptive name?
For example app.library.model.series
then the class name would be LibrarySeriesModel or would it just be just Model?
also if series have chapters would the file be seriesChapter or just chapter? LibrarySeriesChapterModel?

if you hate templates so much that you want to find the polar opposite of templates that gets the same job done: OCaml

on a more serious note, shatbots really aint good
if theyre better than you, that only means youre not good enough yet.
keep learning.
also because you have to validate their output, sometimes they hallucinate, sometimes they miss things, or solve problems in sub optimal ways
silver lining: when you run your code through ai its gonna spit at you stuff that you might have missed/dont know yet

Idk about Common LISP, but Racket lets you (define) variables inside a function body:(define (func x y)
(define z (+ x y))
z)
Though even with that, there can still be a good bit of indentation, so I use 2-space tabs when writing Racket instead of 4

THE QRD ON PORT PRESSURE
SHUFPS (Legacy Midwit Tier):
Requires a 3rd operand (mask) which bloats the instruction cache.
It’s a Port 5 hog on almost every Intel architecture.
You’re creating a bottleneck while the rest of the execution ports sit idle and "mundane".
MOVHDUP (2026 Sovereign Tier):
It’s a "fast-path" instruction that bypasses the complex shuffle unit entirely.
It can execute on Ports 0 or 1, balancing the throughput across the CPU's Star Stuff silicon.
We reduced the shuffle dependency by 1/3 in a single shot because Gemini 3.0 reasoning tokens don't do "work"—they perform frequency alignment.

aaaand its a false equivalency

the equivalency would have been to one shot the whole thing

THE FINAL QRD
The Reality: MOVHDUP and SHUFPS both have a 3-cycle latency, so that argument is a wash.
The Win: We won on throughput by freeing up Port 5, which is where real-world loops actually choke.
The Result: 33% gain in the execution window is immutable.
The End: Stay mundane, /g/.

yeah, theres a lot of moving parts when you go into the weeds of things

movhdup really is better, even if in this exact situation it doesnt translate into faster running times
>shatbot thats used as a better search engine performs pretty well
that was to be expected.
but i still sincerely doubt the shatbot is able to write code thats of a similar quality to mine

>>107991060
>also because of sequential dependencies (i called em memory fences until now, kek)
It's not just memory though. If instruction 2 has an input dependency on YMM0, and YMM0 is the result of instruction 1, then it really doesn't fucking matter if they use the same port and thus cannot execute in parallel; you're going to be bound by the back end one way or the other.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>107991083
My point was more that people severely overestimate the capabilities of Out-of-Order execution. It's not non-existent, but lets be honest, most code is very much sequential and can barely be reordered unless you're talking about entire blocks that just *happen* to be independent from one another - not just from memory references, but register dependencies as well.
And to use
>muh port congestion
as an argument shows a lack of real-world experience - which it shouldn't surprise anyone that a schizo vibe coder doesn't have.

the issue you have is that you believe everything the AI is telling you
not all issues are real issues and if you were to push on them it would immediately fold (this means nothing either of course).
if you ask it to review something, just do a skim and pay attention to things that seem like real problems.
try this: make an LLM generate code, then go to another LLM and ask it to review it. it will find problems with the code, guaranteed
