Last Notes npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen I switched my search engine default to DuckDuckGo this week and I have to say it feels good to be back to a search engine where if there is a Wikipedia article for the thing I'm searching about, that's usually ranked first without me adding "wiki" to the query npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…h6ty S/360 was a family of machines. The very highest-end models such as Model 91 had pipelined, out of order execution in parts of it (especially the floating point unit), at which point you're facing this head-on, yes. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…h6ty this was known when the high end IBM System/360 models were designed in the late 60s npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…h6ty ehhh, sort of. The actual insight is much older than that, and the Mill folks seem either unaware or at the very least unwilling to engage (in their public materials anyhow) with the way that's actually dealt with in contemporary uArchs npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…h6ty almost everything. some things are used a lot. but it's rare. most things are single use. :) npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Q&A portion of the Wookash interview I did earlier this year (2nd part of the video from last week) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBhT7nbWpMg npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Never looked at the specs of the original SGI RealityEngine, and holy shit https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/166117.166131 npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Stand back, I'm going to use my handheld thermal radiator to illuminate the surrounding area by precipitating a large-scale stimulated emission cascade! npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen As an aside, we use impossibly bright, impossibly blue light to inscribe tiny runes on sand, producing constructs that obey our commands (well, sometimes...) and communicate with us through literal liquid crystals. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen FUN FACT: the "nano" prefix ultimately descends from Ancient Greek "nanos", which means "dwarf". npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen hear me out: Oled Zeppelin npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y @nprofile…j05z nope npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y @nprofile…mv7s look both sides are rainbow sides as long as your label is gay enough npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen This is not legal advice. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y aeva, it's tuesday npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y *annoyed side eye* I feel like you're not really opening yourself up to my vision here npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y *puts arm over your shoulder, turns around so we face the same direction, gestures expansively* npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y or maybe they won't. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen A recurring discussion that comes up in fiction circles every few years is would-be writers who don't actually read. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen TIL that apparently, turning on the shower briefly, then turning it off while you lather up, and then turning it on again only to rinse off later is called a "navy shower". npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…h6ty @nprofile…hcxx Yes ffmpeg uses its own (and AFAIK doesn't use FFTW at all) and yes FFTW kernels are, IME, usually not the fastest. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Angine de Poitrine (via @nprofile…x9sp) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi-9wS1so npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…hm63 Pretty sure that's not true. npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen I just read a YouTube comment calling Quake, and I quote verbatim, "an engine old enough that programmable shaders didn't even exist when it came out!" npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y I'm thinking Waiting For Godot might be God's peed aka on an extended bio break (look, the teriyaki place's always been fine before; but yesterday, apparently, less fine) npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y where on the speed of sound to ludicrous speed continuum is godspeed?

npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y FUN FACT: you do in fact have to intentionally jiggle the frequencies of many things that wiggle in your computer because otherwise you're creating not just random noise EM emissions but a low-power FM transmitter and that's not allowed npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen once again I am asking how it feels to treat me like you do npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Pet bear so that when someone asks you to do something dumb, you can answer "sure, one second, hold my bear" and they immediately change their mind. #VPofIdeas npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y @nprofile…hm63 @nprofile…vf2x the ones containing human remains! npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen random thought: if you see someone's record collection, you know what music they like npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y I mean yeah, I'm familiar with the concept of central heating :), but your description made it sound like there's no individual control on the radiators at all npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…3q9y ...single thermostat?

I've had like 5 attempts where I got it down to its last 10% of health so it's at a level where I feel like I could absolutely get it if the stars align but it's right on the edge... npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen Cake, 2001: "She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen" (in Short Skirt/Long Jacket) npub1sqndnjhteg95ss2tk5xdmld540vv8hlhkpa4altk9cagjqrwrvhqurr8se Fabian Giesen @nprofile…gkm9 no.
