The comment thread discusses the necessity and impact of AVX2 vector instructions on CPU performance compared to ARM cores. Opinions vary regarding whether AVX2 should be banned due to its hardware requirements, while others argue that it provides significant benefits. The conversation also delves into ARM's lack of wider SIMD support, with discussions around software ecosystem challenges and the existence of SVE in ARM's Neoverse IP.

• ARM cores lack wider SIMD support

• AVX2 has been common for a decade and provides net benefits.
• AVX512 works well on Zen5 architecture.
• AVX512 can be perceived differently if implemented initially with smaller register widths.
• ARM cores have SVE support in their Neoverse IP, relevant in cloud applications.

The discussion revolves around the limitations and improvements needed in color palettes for terminal emulators, with opinions divided on whether to implement truecolor support or maintain the fixed 16-255 range. Users express concerns about readability issues caused by developers' custom color choices, while others argue for consistency across different platforms.

• The current color palette in terminal emulators is limiting and causes issues with custom themes.
• Truecolor support should be implemented to provide better color control for developers and users.

• The fixed nature of the 16-255 color palette ensures consistency and reliability across different terminal emulators.
• Customization options should be provided for developers to allow them to create their own color schemes without impacting user preferences.

The comment thread discusses the need for regulation of social media companies like Meta, particularly in relation to children's safety and the conflict between profit and human good. Opinions vary on the effectiveness of regulations and the role of legislation such as the Kids Online Safety Act. The conversation also touches on issues of wealth disparity and justice.

• The Kids Online Safety Act should be passed to address Meta's behavior towards children

• Regulations have not been effective in the past and will likely not work now.
• The current systems are failing, so replacing them with another system won't solve the problem.
