No joke, I saw a comment in my code base literally yesterday written from a week ago. I said this is crap and it's taking me more than 5seconds to understand and I ended up simply changing some variable names and refactor the function. It took maybe 2 minutes to do but now I don't need a comment and it's cleaner code for future changes. (It's in a file we are actively working on and WILL change)
tl;dr: Refactor not comment
If an obvious lie can consistently fool 80% of the players in among us (details below) then I can imagine deepfakes will fool just as many people despite how obvious it is. By obvious I mean almost 100% of the time it's a lie and people fall for it
-------
I played maybe a hundred games of among us (they can be very short). The game is about one or more imposters trying to murder the rest of the crew but you'll have to be discreet and get/find people alone so you don't get voted off. When a body is found a meeting happens and you can lie (text chat)
One problem is you don't want to accuse someone when you're an imposter because you immediately become suspicious. Most games will tell you if you voted off an imposter or not so they'll know you're lieing right away once game tells them they voted a non imposter. Most of the time you want to accuse noone, play dumb and act like you're everyeone else and saw nothing.
I lost count when a guy doesn't accuse anyone for 20+seconds, get accused then claims the guy who found the body is an imposter and all these things he did that are suspicious. (why didn't you say it right away?!). Like 90+% of the time the guy being accused is the imposter who waited so he can feel the situation out. It's extremely obvious but maybe 70% of the time literally every player but me and the guy reporting the body is fooled. Which is far too many players at a far too high fool rate. It's so painful because it's so obvious. 90+% of the time in that scenario the reporting guy is telling the truth.
Great idea! Drop add to list, the searchbar and streaming audio in a different language! Noone cares about any of that stuff
Damn dude. I never thought of that.
So are you here right now declaring that RISC-V and all those companies are in the wrong and risc-v will be a disaster?
Cause I might agree and be with you on that lol
-Edit- I have no idea what the state of the compiler is

WTF?
If you're going that complex than... wtf?
Would I be able to build a phone by putting this all together?
I think I rather buy it. Even building my desktop computer with little fragile parts I kept thinking I'd break it.
I don't understand why is it a pain? Are you saying it makes choosing what encoding/extension more difficult? I would only see this as a pain if you had to mix/match these extensions and one isn't guaranteed to exist when another does making you have to write several versions for every mix and match.
But I kind of assumed most ops perform well enough and important optimizations have a test case for and will get done
I had yet to read a good critique of the ISA by people who know what they're talking about.
I still wonder about RISC-V. To me, it seems pointless. But a lot of companies are buying into it so I'm wrong
Why would you ever want a standard ISA? If you're buying chips you either want a cheap standard one or a powerful efficient one. To be efficient (or cheap) you'd want to only support what's required and what works best with the implementation.
I don't really understand the point of a generic ISA. Why not have some kind of bytecode or standard format (like llvm-ir) that gets optimized for the CPU and gets a native binary that doesn't need interpretation.
Like how the f* is it easier to make something regular+generic fast rather than something custom for your hardware/chip/cpu fast?
Do you want to know how many times I used XML when it's not required? 0. Do you know how many times I used SQLite or my own binary file? I lost count. SQLite has far more constraints than XML and custom binary files/formats aren't hard after you done than a few times.
