In the midst of all this craziness, this thing I wrote with some amazing artists is coming out! If you have a spare moment, and you're into sci-fi and/or comics, could you spare a moment amongst the burning servers to have a look!

Hey folks, much going on? Well... our #kickstarter for our #scifi #comic BaadFood #3 goes live next Tuesday, would be cool if you could have a look and register to get an update when we go live :). Best of luck, Comics Twitter has been inspirational. kickstarter.com/projects/19613…

@campbellclaret listening to This Is Politics do with ai comments, great episode. I wrote a comic looking at hyperbolic and not-so-hyperbolic reactions to ubiquitous AGI, UBI and Aicism against machine intelligences etc. Ping and I’ll send a copy.

@ComicPrintingUK But if you had the pages, you'd just need to spend a couple of hours and put them in order... he could have done that right? Is there some horrible data destruction accident we're not being told about?

@ComicPrintingUK Trying to move off Twitter, just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in... they == CPUK and this TFTQ chat. Did the comics actually get printed?

@lee_and_mopsey @JadeMasterMath Modern compilers unroll loops for you, create preambles /postambles and optimise aggressively. Using clang and looking at the assembly it spits out is pretty informative. If you know the number of iterations, it'll still probably be faster with a loop, unless that is v small.

@JadeMasterMath Sounds like he likes to unroll loops. Pretty solid engineering method. A jump is expensive v. not performing one, if you know the number of loops the code will perform, or can at least integer-divide the num of iterations. He builds critical systems, remember. Ticks count.

I am a former engineer at Twitter and I can say for sure that Elon Musk does not know how to use a for loop. He just copies and pastes the code for every iteration. I tried to explain for loops to him during code review and he called it "bloatware".

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
