Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this post on std::simd's swizzle_dyn, which needs std to be recompiled. One commenter says it got them back into Rust SIMD work after earlier attempts stalled.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Rust, security, and making computers go brrr

What Hacker News says?
Kinda: Early last year, I had done a little work with direct intrinsics first, then investigated std::simd, but ran into the issue of swizzle_dyn needing to re-compile std. It was actually when I ran across https://shnatsel.github.io/improving-std-simd-swizzle-dyn/ that got me back into it.
