What, you don't have a special command to Compare Unsigned values in register C vs result register K? or Floating-point Addition with Parenthesis, so store the value for use on the next cycle?

[–] stingpie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.

I still don't know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle

Its been in RISC V for decades.

I wouldn't really characterize fourteen years as "decades."

IT years are similar to dog years, an IT year is multiple normal human years, so 14 IT years is certainly IT decades.

"Algernon"? The monkey in your PFP? The nerdy kid in Canis Canem Edit a.k.a. Bully?

Just lie. What are they going to do? They don't know enought to realize they made an impossible request, they won't be able to tell the difference between 10 and 5 years experience.

Just don't work there, seems like a company run by idiots

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

STEP 1: find company run by idiots

STEP 2: get them to give me a remote job

STEP 3: barely work at all

STEP 4: get second remote job and collect 2 paychecks
