Need to mind the memory layout of your structs to get good performance. Often overlooked but that also includes the padding.

Since I've got my PhD in AI almost twenty years ago now, this piece strikes hard. This fellow kept doing research while I didn't (the reasons to be told another time but it's linked to this article). Clearly AI researchers who started around that time or before have a very different vision to what "AI" means as a field (although I've a few difference I'm fairly aligned with this article)...
