Dear adventurous Go users who are playing with SIMD in 1.26 pre-release. Coding your feature checks like this:
```
func init() {
useAVX512 = archsimd.X86.AVX512()

```
will yield not-best code, because the compiler is looking for guards that check archsimd.X86.AVX512() in order to (whenever there is a choice) enable the AVX512 versions of operations, e.g., mask registers versus bit masks, that sort of thing. (512-bit vectors will also force AVX512).

Fascist Failure
The State of Trump

Janne Korhonen argues,
“When you hear the warnings beeping and flashing all the time,
it is only a natural reaction to lose focus
- and be paralysed by fear and despair.
That's why airplanes, for example, have toggles that turn the alarms off.
So that the pilots can concentrate better on working the problem.
Pilots and especially astronauts are trained to "work the problem."
Even, perhaps especially, if the situation seems truly hop…

»The origins of the exact dimensions of Letter size paper are lost in tradition and not well documented. The American Forest and Paper Association argues that the dimension originates from the days of manual papermaking and that the 11-inch length of the page is about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms."« 🤡

As the Iran war triggers a global energy crisis,
the climate consequences are already mounting. 
The International Energy Agency warns this crisis could surpass the oil shocks of the 1970s.
Yet, even as some countries accelerate the shift to renewables,
the Trump administration is doubling down on fossil fuels,
scrapping wind projects and expanding drilling.
Bill McKibben is a leading environmentalist who argues this war underscores the urgent need to tr…
