Faster JSON parsing with SVE2 on ARM processors ARM processors, like those in your phone, have instructions capable of processing several elements at once (SIMD). These instructions are called NEON. But many newer processors have a different SIMD extension called SVE…

A new fast_float release... fast_float is a super fast number parser in C++ (used by GCC, MySQL, your browser...). The latest release adds support for parsing numbers following the JavaScript standard, so things like 05.1 can be accepted (!!!). JavaScript Related
If anyone wants a nice side project... The fast number parsing fast_float (part of GCC, and other important systems like MySQL) is not always exact when dealing with 16-bit float parsing (specifically float16_t). That is, some number strings can lie in between two numbers and the rounding is wrong. In fact, nobody has done a proper analysis of the implementation to insure that it is correct. Yeah. I could ask my AI, but it is still work, especially because I do not trust anyone, not even an AI, to get it correct the first time around. Contributions invited. github.com

Parsing IP addresses in C# at crazy speeds We are all familiar with IP addresses such as 192.168.0.1. They are typically written as four numbers in the range 0 to 255 inclusive, separated by dots. In C#, you can parse them with the standard library using IPAddre…

Preliminary Support for Typst in knitr A few weeks ago I added preliminary support for Typst to knitr. The way it works is simple: if your file has the extension .Rtyp, knitr will recognize it as a Typst document, knit it, and produce a .typ output file. The…

Given the simplicity and speed of the algorithms in this post and the increasingly small deltas between successive algorithms, perhaps we are nearing an optimal solution.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
