Compiling shaders directly from a high level representation to the GPU ISA only really happens on consoles.

No, that's not correct. In fact, it's mostly the other way around. Consoles have known hardware and thus games can ship with precompiled shaders. I know this has been done since at least PS2 era since I enjoy taking apart game assets.

While on PC, you can't know what GPU is in the consumer device.

For example, Steam has this whole concept of precompiled shader downloads in order to mitigate the effect for the end user.

Or more likely, OP has multiple versions of rust installed.

I wouldn't think the code signing phase is run while the benchmark is running and thus affecting those numbers.

Chatbot LLM's don't have metacognition. They don't know that they don't know.

Correct. LLM also don't have intelligence. What you and others mistake for intelligence is a very clever prediction model.

A LLM don't reason at all. It only tells you what is a most likely response based on its training data.

This is why the LLM cannot tell you it don't know.

I don't again think it's a good replacement of having enums built in!

I didn't say anything along those lines, in fact I was commenting generally about this issue that you guys and the other commenters mentioned.

I was just suggesting a solution to the the problem stated.

I very much agree. The fewer ways a programmer can become creative, the easier it is to fully understand their code.

In a business environment, this is a obvious win.

I am not trying to be funny. It seems to me that you are misunderstanding the usage of the word zero in this context, as in absence of any. Synonymous to "no", as in "no threes".

It is not about the number 0.

Incorrectly top voted answers. "zeroes" is the plural form. The use of zero in "zero 3s" is not the number 0 but an adjective, synonym to "no" in that context.

The correct answer is the third one: https://ell.stackexchange.com/a/352496

I guess this is one of the reasons for the failing popularity of the Stack Exchange sites, simply voted best answers that are incorrect.

Similar to how you will find 30 incorrect upvoted seemingly correct-but-actually-incorrect answers to many reddit questions with the correct answer hidden deep down in the comments with no karma.

Similar how HN is turning out lately, too.

For being 15 year old, cool work!

But calling this de-anonymization is a stretch, if it can possibly pinpoint you within 250 miles (that's assuming geoip is correct too, which it rarely is).

In their GeoGuesser demonstration video, the higlighted area is densely populated and you still would need to match millions of people vs the online user.

It does provide some hints as to the location of the targeted user, and that is cool!

Tech companies, perhaps until very recently, have been extremely left-leaning.

You Americans really have lost the touch of reality with regards to politics, that's for sure.

Tech companies are the wealthiest and most powerful companies in the world. They do what they do in order to increase profit. Nothing left-leaning about that.

In a few days your new president and his gamer buddy takes office, and they both have their own social media networks.
