Damn yall are too exhausted to even read now because you spent so much mental energy trying to pattern match llm-ims instead of reading i guess

Artificial intelligence is a lot like alternative medicine, if it was the thing it said it was it wouldn’t need a name.

LAPACK doesn't do sparse systems.

(On the other hand, I skimmed the article and this might be a banded system, which LAPACK can handle).

Fortran’s types have kinds, which are integer codes that further distinguish various flavors of each type. The ISO standard failed to define their meanings for the built-in types, but with any modern compiler worth using the kind values are the byte sizes. Literal constants can have a kind value as a suffix, and the suffix can be either an integer or a named constant. Fortran codes tend to establish named constants for the “working precision” kind and the next higher precision kind, so that one need only redefine those to compile various versions of a subroutine that work with different precisions.

Even when one isn’t defining named constants for various kinds, it’s still good practice to use them on literal floating constants, since those default to the default kind of REAL in Fortran, not to double precision as in most later languages. A very pernicious pitfall of the language is to (say) assign or initialize X=0.1 instead of X=0.1_8 when X is double precision.

I wondered the same thing. _dp might mean double precision, but the rest is beyond me

Fortran

It seemed to be ai assisted writing, but it was still interesting to me.
