Do we know for a fact that LLMs aren't now configured to pass simple arithmetic like this in a simpler calculator, to add illusion of actual insight?

You can train a LLM on just multiplication and test it on ones it has never seen before, it's nothing particularly magical.

It's not 'magic' though but previously LLMs have performed very badly on longer multiplication, 'insight' is the wrong word but I'm saying maybe they're not wildly better at this calculation... maybe they are just optimising these well known jagged edges.

According to reports, he was the commander of the submarine when it was conducting bombing missions on civilian targets in Ukraine.

What possibly compels you to believe your "former" qualifier has any relevance?

Relevant to the accuracy of quote

From a linked article on shift registers:

Might be a direction for 2026 too?

The overwhelming majority of UNIX-like software is available in the package managers right now for major BSDs.

I didn't grow up in a 3rd world country but had the same experience, bar running games I don't own. Not everyone in the west had parents that wanted to just spend thousands on hardware that seemed to be obsolete next year, or any means of making that money. And I've never stopped using sub-par hardware, to this day I enjoy squeezing every drop of performance from cheap pre-owned stuff.

Just a point that the constexpr/const use in that C++ code makes no difference to output, and is just noise really.

Relatively new, we're about 16 years down the road.

16 years from the START of getting an idea "why don't we make a new ISA?".

Less than 7 years from ratification of the initial RV{32,64}GC spec.

Less than 5 years from the first mass-produced roughly original Raspberry Pi level $100 SBC: AWOL Nezha, shipped June 2021.

Dude that's not a 'puddle' as the article claims, that's a body of water that it's not even visually obvious whether it's safe to drive through. Maybe I'm a bad driver but I'd hesitate to drive through that in a small car either.

I think the difference is the prior knwoldege a commuter has of that section of road. Does it always flood shallowly in heavy rain?

Even without prior knowledge, seeing others safely navigate the same section will lower your estimated risk.

The amount of water will depend on the rain, so we don't know how shallow it is even with prior knowledge.

If you drive the road every day, you probably do. If you can see someone drive through it (perhaps someone who knows the area well and knows how deep it is based on puddle width), you definitely do.
