5 years ago, @nikic wrote: I can’t say a 10% improvement is making LLVM fast again, we would need a 10x improvement for it to deserve that label. We recently open-sourced TPDE and our fast LLVM baseline back-end (TPDE-LLVM), which is 10-20x faster than the LLVM -O0 back-end with similar runtime performance and 10-30% larger code size. We support a typical subset of LLVM-IR and only target x86-64 and AArch64. Posting this here, as this might be interesting for the LLVM community – questions/com

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

news.ycombinator.com Craig Gidney 2025-10-25 02:14:26

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real

Best Handheld Fan and Wearable Fan (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Kristin Canning 2025-10-25 04:00:00

This fan was a godsend during a sweltering outdoor concert. It bends at the neck, so I was able to set it up on the picnic table and blast it toward my face without even holding it, then straighten it back into the standard position to carry it with me as I walked around. It also comes with a lanyard that allows you to hang it from your neck. It felt stronger than the other handheld fans I tested, and I liked that the blades were contained, which made the airflow feel more concentrated and meant

iPad vs iPad Air: With a $150 price gap, is the Air still worth the premium?

Apple has two great, affordable iPads that most people consider: the base iPad, and the iPad Air. Over time, these iPads have always been relatively similar, making it a rather interesting debate. With current deals, theres only $150 between these two iPads, which really begs the question: should you pay more for the iPad Air, or save some money with the base iPad?
