Last time this was asked I was working on this
https://github.com/fmstephe/simd_explorer
A little TUI app for interactively running different SIMD instructions and seeing the outputs.
Since then I have completed the tool for AVX/2. At this stage that's as far as I intend to go.
It's potentially valuable as an interactive quick reference guide for SIMD instructions.
It works on Windows, Linux and with the right environment variables it will successfully pretend to be AMD64 running on an Apple M chip.
Arm NEON instructions are not supported at all, currently Go's assembler does not include these instructions directly, so I didn't attempt to build for them. Maybe one day.
Next up, learn Zig - be happy.

It is going to be a set of tools for YouTube content creators to better connect with their viewers, based on repeated issues that we've observed when consulting with creators and helping them grow their channels. Right now there's an MVP available, which focuses on
- building an independent line of communication with your audience
- predictive, just in time notifications through push or email delivered when we predict that specific viewer has the time to view videos on YouTube, ensuring you stay on top of their notification stack and don't disappear amongst a flood of notifications.
