  • I'm not an O's fan. I'm an LSU fan, and, as such, I don't have much room to criticize an organization for using every loophole available to stack a team. Would be cool if Rob Manfred did something about using deferred contracts to get around the luxury tax though.

  • I just want to know which announcer decided it was a good idea to steal a nickname bestowed by LSU and Orioles legend Ben MacDonald.

  • Didn't say he wasn't good. I just don't recognize the newly bestowed nickname. The only Tommy Tanks I know helped LSU win the 2023 CWS.

  • No argument there. It's also why it's done in ARM, 8080, SM83, z80, 6502, and basically every other assembly language. It's only not done in RISC-V because you can fold 0 into any instruction as an operand, therefore eliminating the need to clear a register before an instruction.

    So why correct the person with a more narrow claim that makes it seem like xor being faster than loading zero is a rarity in CPU architectures? If I said "birds can fly", and your response was "eagles can fly. Ftfy. Not all birds can fly", it would be both true and utterly unhelpful.

  • I never made that claim, nor did the person you corrected.

  • There are a lot more architectures than just x86 that are capable of XORing a register with itself (ie. ARM and RISC-V), and if you took OP to mean the accumulation register specifically, pretty much all CPUs going back as far as I can think have had that functionality.

  • Thanks. Excellent read, and it took me less than a minute to get through instead of the 20 it would have taken to watch (assuming I remembered to by the time I'm somewhere I can watch a video).

  • I'm going to continue missing out I guess. Youtube isn't the problem, it's videos. It used to be that if you wanted to learn something, you could just read it. Now everything is a video. I hate it.

  • There was no official language in the US until last month when Trump signed an executive order that made English the official language.

  • They have no idea how much more the trade war will escalate between the purchase and the item getting imported. If their laptops take several months to ship and their margins are lower than the increase in tariffs after the sale was made, then they lose money on the sale.

  • $735,234 as of September 2024 Form 990s are publicly available tax documents submitted by nonprofits. I just searched for "form 990 signal".

  • How did they train the model? I'd say it's just as problematic if the generator was trained using CSAM.

  • The ones who voted were citizens. The simple answer to why they voted for Trump is that when you're fleeing an oppressive socialist state, you don't want to vote for anything resembling socialism, and they didn't expect Trump to end temporary protected status for their friends and families.

  • Deleting CDC data is effectively the same thing.
