@matrix more depressing to me that no one else seems to have noticed over the course of nine years.
@matrix intel cpus are massively complicated black boxes. the code snippet is like a first year uni homework question, and the output can be trivially verified. it's really embarrassing.
@awg Yeah, but that's also the reason why no one bothers to check. Since it simple, you assume no one would make a mistake.
@matrix I'm legit surprised more people haven't died as a side-effect of coding mistakes.
@awg @matrix we're in that awkward limbo where just some tech have a bit of real-world consequences
if:
-all tech has no real-world consequences: tech recognized as a circlejerk and valuations won't be as retarded and bubbled
-all tech has real-world consequences: barrier to entry will be higher and pajeets would be shut out of the industry
instead we have 99% of "oh i broke the entire thing nbd" and 1% of 737max-level disasters
