A: “I have an Pink Unicorn inside the trunk of my car. It vanishes the moment you try to open the trunk or look at it.”

B: “What? That’s absurd”

A: “I know it exists. It’s up to you to disprove it”

B: “But there is no way one can capture/observe/understand it with any sort of scientific instrument”

A: “Don’t care. Skill issue”

I see you have read Dr. Toshio Bukkake’s paper. Didn’t expect to find a fellow man of culture over here.

Thanks for this. Got a burst of nostalgia

but I’ve accepted defeat in trying to understand it

I may have shared the link but even I don’t know how it how it works.

It’s like admiring the Eiffel Tower; you can understand that it’s a marvel of engineering without understanding the underlying engineering concepts. Such experiences are rare but they truly humble you.

Regarding the square root, understand the following concepts

1. Bit shifting simply shift the bits to a certain side (Left or right) => 0010 << 1 → 0100
2. Mathematically, it multiplies or divides the input number with a factor of 2, depending upon the type of shift
3. If you shift the number n with a nice shift amount x (I have greatly greatly over-simplified this), then you can calculate the inverse sq. root since inverse square root is 2^(-1/2)
4. Calculating the inverse square root manually will take lots of clock cycles, which was not feasible for a FPS game with the limited h/w
5. Bit shifting is a lot faster since we are not computing, but instead shifting

The resultant shifting gives us an answer which is close enough to the answer, and that is good enough for FPS games for calculation of reflections.

PS: Someone who is more experienced in this domain can correct me if I’m wrong.

I am still in awe of the fast inverse square root method used in QuakeIII. Good times.

There was/is a movement regarding butthole and ball tanning. I am suspicious that it also started like this.

I’m gonna ask my wife if she wants to be rammed tonight and then give her these cookies.

Nice cookies 🐏🐏

A: “Hey, did you just download all the movies of 2024?”

B: “Yeah”

A: “That’s illegal”

B: “No no, it’s not illegal. I’m gonna train my AI model. So it’s fine”

A: “With your i3 PC with 4 GB of RAM?”

B: “I’ll get better hardware later on. I might have to watch them to understand what to use for training”

A: “As long as you use it for training, it’s fine. Make sure to not watch it for your entertainment”

B: “Yeah sure, bye”

I have bypassed this issue by exclusively using open-source terminal software. If my softwares aren’t launching in 2-3 seconds, i usually try to find alternatives.

I was just reading the first paper on TCP Vegas (TCP congestion avoidance protocol) and the tests were done with bandwidths of “over 100 Kbps” over the internet. Feels almost unreal.

Ooooh! Glowing stones. I have to take them.

It’s a custom ROM (crDroid 11). It might be using Substratum but it’s done in such a seamless manner that I don’t even know.

I tried it long back during Android 9-10 and it was buggy.
