Thank you, Bing Copilot (ChatGPT), for giving me another “thing I just learned” to blog about. In the early days of “K&R C”, things were quite a bit different. C was not nearly as portable as it is today. While the ANSI-C standard helped quite a bit, once it became a standard, there were still issues when moving C code from machines of different architectures — for example: int x; What is x? According to the C standard, and “int” is “at least 16 bits.” On my Radio Shack Color Computer, and in

Fun with -fsanitize=undefined and Picolibc Both GCC and Clang support the -fsanitize=undefined flag which instruments the generated code to detect places where the program wanders into parts of the C language specification which are either undefined or implementation defined. Many of these are also common programming errors. It would be great if there were sanitizers for other easily detected bugs, but for now, at least the undefined sanitizer does catch several useful problems. Supporting the

Large generative models are becoming increasingly capable and more widely deployed to power production applications, but getting these models to produce exactly what's desired can still be challenging. Fine-grained control over these models' outputs is important to meet user expectations and to mitigate potential misuses, ensuring the models' reliability and safety. To address these issues, Apple machine learning researchers have developed a new technique that is modality-agnostic and provides f

However, it feels like the pattern is relatively unknown, so I thought I’d show it off, and some of its applications in the Chapel compiler .

For Turing-complete languages we cannot reliably decide offline whether a program has the potential to execute an error; we have to just run it and see.

Of that massive number, over 122,000 US citizens are forced to endure solitary confinement for at least 22 hours a day.
