  turns out state of the art AI models, the smallest of which have trillions of parameters and need 400 GB VRAM, are still useless at the translation tasks i do for a living. this is like the one job that LLMs had, and they still can’t do it. they’re not even CLOSE. oh i’m sure they can find bugs in software and speedrun video games but like, that’s basically pure pattern recognition and brute force. those are problems that can be fully understood and even trivially modeled as equations. that does...

  sometimes GCC is pretty clever. it recognized that i’m calling atan2f element-wise on a SIMD vector type and uses the libmvec function instead of plain libm accordingly, reducing a lot of expensive scalar extraction and function call instructions to just this one clang is not that clever. it has a __builtin_elementwise_atan2 but that just uses the non-vectorized version. it also has no clean way to do masked shuffles because its shuffle builtin only takes scalar indices

  GCC is very good at auto-vectorizing code if only you allow it and the benefits are very real (distros: please consider using -march=x86_64-v3 by default)

  studying digital color science and figuring out how incredibly wrong a lot of image processing software and even widespread standards like CSS are about color, much stuff we could be doing better but aren’t (like the 1931 color primaries and observers i mentioned before; you can calibrate displays to what measures as identical in that system but looks very different to human eyes) fucking CSS specifying effects to be applied in non-linear sRGB, SVG renderers basically doing all their alpha blen...
