This is documenting and standardizing OpenSSH's ssh-agent daemon protocol, used by ssh and sshd to talk to ssh-agent. ssh-agent is like 30 years old. The protocol wire format is derivative of the SSH protocol.
Indeed, I am an outgroup member. look at me the dumbfuck. Now how does one become an ingroup member, by learning.
I am an active contributer to MLIR, if you knew my name and you weren't some weirdo, you could know me. This is a pseudonym account of which I have several, since I grew up in an age where you hid your identity. Now how XLA interacts with that I have no clue dude. Maybe help with that and don't be a low effort dick.
brother i'm trying to tell you that the guy you're asking to be clearer is being vague because he's employing a shibboleth - a "wink wink i'm an og and you can only access me via the secret handshake at our club meeting". not you. i pasted the link because you explicitly say "I can't tell what you mean by this comment" so i'm proposing what they mean.
Indeed buddy, what is the point? the GP noted the corruption, you also have issue with corruption. The current admin(in the US) thinks corruption is legal.So why split hairs?
Just pointing out where the root of the denialism comes from. Fossil fuel companies knew about climate change in the 1970s because their scientists told them, and they covered it up, then later began a campaign to discredit climate science as it became obvious the Earth was warming.
Unfortunately I really don’t understand enough to judge about that. Could you tell me some things that made you go
with a “buzzword salad” sentiment? Not as a gotcha or anything, just out of genuine curiosity.
The FPGA portion (second bullet point in the abstract) reads like research à la Taalas [0] (known for ChatJimmy [1]), so it’s not immediately clear to me why this would be indicative of a lack of knowledge of the field.
Here are some easy to ways to tell if you are reading AI slop. Any one of them should cause a flag, but all of them at once should sound the alarm.
1. Investigate the author. In this case, it is an administrative scrivener & independent researcher. Nothing wrong with that, but credibility just isn't there for such dense CS, math & "physics".
2. Check for peer review. In this case, there is none. Published on zenodo, a platform notorious for self-publishing authors plagued by runaway AI sycophantic psychosis.
3. Check the author's publishing cadence. In this case, we are already at version 8 in less than a week. In traditional research, iterating from v1 to v8 represents weeks/months of peer feedback, major revisions, and architectural redesigns.
4. Read the paper. Did you leave more informed or more confused? I left much more confused. Three disparate domains of computer science mashed together in a short abstract: (1) Deterministic finite-automaton equivalence, (2) Deep learning theory, (3) FPGA/VLSI Engineering. While cross domain papers exist, LLM's often mix high-level theoretical complexity bounds (like DPSACE) with hyper-specific low level vendor parameters without providing the connective tissue that bridges the math to the hardware synthesis.
5. Check the numbers. 3.81 x 10^-5 pJ/op. This is ultra precision, yet right after dropping these numbers, we get the classic "All energy figures are simulation-based tool estimates. No physical FPGA board measurement was performed". One of the earlier versions claimed a 2,129x speedup vs an RTX 3090 on bus-traffic reduction.
6. Consult real frontier LLM's. Straight up copy paste the link into "relatively" credible models like Claude, GPT, Grok, and Gemini and ask "Is this AI Slop?". In my case I did it with three separate models, and all 3 came back with a resounding yes, which confirmed my initial suspicion.
I am not claiming that the guy doesn't know what he is talking about. And no shame to the author, I too have fallen victim to grandiose claims from LLMs. I am just stating that this paper by itself is mega sus and doesn't belong in the top ten results of hackernews.
Thanks for the detailed writeup, these all make a lot of sense.
My only other tell (hadn’t committed the time to reading the rest of the paper nor looking into the author yet) so far was Zenodo, unfortunately that definitely has become a tell or at least hint when other signs of “slop-thought” are present, even in my very limited experience/exposure.
Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain, Space Brothers, Dirty Pair, a few Gundams. You don't have to agree, of course. There is no accounting for taste.
I think the images are awesome and inspiring. If there are greener pastures for you, why bother commenting? Go do whatever makes you happy. I enjoy seeing this cool art.
So? Anyone could make this set of a pictures. But we didn't.
I enjoyed seeing these pictures. If you think you can make better content, do so. I look forward to upvoting what you make.
But until then, telling people to "investigate themselves" for enjoying the 'wrong thing' isn't quality content. Its just wasting everyone's time. I like what I like.
What do you think user interfaces are? User interfaces are how users transmit or recieve information. Any information display is a user interface. Any button or other control is a user interface. There are even user interfaces that don't have to do with computers, like the user interface of a book (among that being its cover, pages and the information written on them). I don't see a single image here that doesn't contain a user interface.
The acronym 'UI' as typically used in computing often refers to specific types of user interfaces. That is not how TFA uses more generally 'User Interfaces', which practically covers anything that exposes information to or receives information from users

This collection was almost certainly hand-curated over time by a single individual who likes the wacky sci-fi aesthetic. Some classic animes in there and some I haven't seen. Pretty cool.
Definitely not slop. And definitely not an astroturfing campaign to sell graphics tablets.
> if you want to learn about ASM in TYOOL 2026 then you could do a lot worse than learning it from someone who doesn't trust compilers and does everything themselves.
Not bad advice, but the Fasm forums used to be pretty good for asking questions, no clue if they are around and active still, but there were a lot of programs people had written and even a few simple OSs(including KolibriOS) which had a ton of code to read through that mostly was commented. Once you get the basics it is pretty easy to do stuff, and most of learning is doing stuff.
His earlier 32bit book was pretty decent, but super windows focused, I wish a similar work using a reasonable syntax existed for Linux, but the linux equivalent(some kind of foundations of programming or something similar assembly book) used gas syntax which is like nails on a chalkboard. Fasm is also so much nicer these days to use(masm is neglected by microsoft, but is the tool the author has used for everything).
Have you checked out paul carters assembly language book. it is free online. i'm not sure it has stuff for Linux.But you can check. also , it may be , for sixteen or thirty two bit. since I noticed it online long back. sorry voice typing.
Edit: i checked. it is for 32 bit. works on Linux. and uses Nasm.
That's weird, GNU as should default to AT&T syntax. Maybe the author switched to Intel syntax by adding the .intel_syntax directive at the beginning of the code?
