@foone Loop unrolling is older than that though. Although maybe not on these platforms, unless they were cross compiling?
It's in the "dragon book" on compiler design in the 70's. And by the 80's, in the workstation space, that and other techniques were common (my ex-wife worked on compiler optimization back then).
ADHD study finds that symptoms fluctuate and sometimes go into "remission" during periods of higher environmental demands.
That's fine, what I don't understand is why they find this unexpected. The actual abstract doesn't use the word, so hopefully it's just the reporter, because nobody with ADHD should find this surprising. Who among us hasn't...
I spent my first year of high school at a highly competitive private school. Then the last two I went to a rural public school with mediocre standards. My grades dropped.
Recent research found that ADHD often fluctuates, with most individuals experiencing alternating periods of remission and recurrence influenced by environmental demands, rather than following a static course of persistence or permanent remission. Recovery is rare, occurring in only 9.1%.

Hair ties for guys. . . . . . um.
I was going to make a comment about the straights not being okay, but to their credit they have floral designs, and they don't seem to take themselves very seriously.
"Strong enough for a woman...but pH-balanced for a man."
"Weight tested to 80lbs"
But seriously, what's with this trend of telling guys that they should be embarrassed about buying hair ties, viagra, etc.. It's like we're building an entire economy based on male fragility.
Are you a guy with long hair or growing your mane for the first time? We make men's long hair products, including hair ties, shampoo, and headbands. Shop now!

For many years I've believed that Facebook and Instagram were secretly downloading phone photos in the background. Because when you go to post a photo, it gets sent far too quickly to have done a download at the same time.
Yesterday I found this video from an Instagram founder, and damned if I wasn't right.
It doesn't appear to be all photos, just the most recent one (ones?). It's not clear from the video if it happens when you launch the app, or when you hit compose. They're doing it on the assumption you're about to post some recent photos. They claim it's okay because if you don't post it, they delete it.
That's classic Meta self-serving bullshit. The "Yeah, it's wrong, but it's okay because we're Meta and we're smart" excuse they always use.
It is not okay to upload my photos without my explicit consent. It's not okay to chew up my bandwidth when I may be deliberately trying to keep it low. IANL, but that first, frankly, sounds like class action material.
It doesn't matter that they claim to delete it. They just introduced a privacy risk. That could have been a nude of my spouse. That could have been a photo of my kid I was sending to my doctor. That could have been a photo of a contract I'm not allowed to share. All to save a few seconds they can brag about.
When Apple allowed you to selectively make photos available to app, I turned the feature on for Meta apps. This makes posting photos a pain, because Meta doesn't uses Apple's UI for choosing which photos they can see and selecting them at the same time. It's a multistep process and it isn't obvious how to do it. Ironically, it means that I rarely post to Instagram anymore. A fact that just reinforces my belief that Meta really wants full photo access and deliberately isn't fixing the issue.
