🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, heads up: this is not the same thing as ARM NEON. NEON is a whole different instruction set, okay? don't mix them up, i'm begging 😭

also, on CPUs that aren't using ARM instruction sets at all, this function always returns false. like, every single time. no cap.

• true — slay, the CPU has ARM SIMD features 👑
• false — nope, it does not 🙈

🔥 THREAD SAFETY 🔥

it is safe to call this function from any thread. go off, call it from wherever, it's fine 🫶
