В Go 1.27 завезли SIMD. На Mac он дал ровные 4x, на Intel i9 то 2x, то 5x

Дядя Хашимото сказал разобраться, я попытался. Речь про его эссе «Everyone Should Know SIMD»: SIMD должен знать каждый разработчик; примеры там на Zig, но суть от языка не зависит.

Scientists may have uncovered one reason coffee is repeatedly associated with healthier aging and lower disease risk. Compounds in coffee appear to activate NR4A1, a receptor that helps protect cells from stress, inflammation, and damage. These protective effects disappeared when the receptor was removed, strengthening the connection. Surprisingly, plant-based compounds such as caffeic acid seemed far more active than caffeine itself.

Researchers have created cosmic dust from scratch by recreating space-like conditions inside glass tubes. The dust contains complex carbon-rich molecules built from elements essential to life and produces infrared signals similar to real material found in space. By studying these laboratory samples, scientists can explore how organic chemistry unfolds around stars and how comets, asteroids and meteorites may have carried those ingredients to Earth.
