iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

@forst Apparently the Pentium 4 (the only CPU that doesn't ignore those prefixes) never actually had an assembly syntax for the hinting (you just had to do `.db 64H` before the branch instruction to manually add the prefix lol), when the syntax is the thing I'm interested in.

Anyone have suggestions on an assembly syntax for manual branch prediction hints? (As in, marking a branch as being likely or unlikely to be taken) Even though the Pentium 4 actually implemented branch prediction hints, I can't find a single example of assembly syntax for it for any architecture

[NSFW male dragon pinup] Some sheathful and horny alts, naturally Art also by @Virensere #Wyvern #Wyverns #Dragon #Dragons

Digital drawing of a fluffy gray wyvern. He's lying on his back with his realistic batlike wings mostly outstretched, licking the propatagium (membrane above the wing arm) on his left wing. His talons are relaxed down and his tail is curling around. His legs are spread to show his sheath and balls

Same as the previous image, but his penis is fully erect

I don't know what I should actually do with this secondary stack blog post. I sorta want to do pure technical detail without much in the way of a wider argument (since it's nuanced and arguments regarding other languages are hard to make sound…), but pure technical detail would be the most dry […]

Their selection of tags is really funny, it seems like most of them exist less for searching/categorization and more "any topic people complain about seeing so we're letting them filter it" lol. e.g. the "tools" category doesn't have that many tags, only ones like systemd, vim, emacs, "vibecoding"

Honestly lobste.rs having the "vibecoding" tag for any post involving using AI or written with AI makes it pretty damn good for the reason I use those news aggregators at all: finding cool blog posts that I never would've found otherwise (I often completely ignore the comments on Lobsters and HN)

the thing about programming is that the core skill is being able to mentally model what the computer is doing. If you can't do that, you'll never have a chance. i don't think traditional programming classes teach this well. ironically, puzzle games do a good job at it...

You know things are bad when you look up something on Wikipedia and the pseudocode syntax the author used is ML/Haskell-like instead of procedural

Hmm, I wonder if any (vaguely) contemporary FPUs have trig/transcendental functions that are approximations even in the range of the float type, rather than (barring bugs) fully-accurate except for the least-significant bit like any FPU I've looked at (or I think technically ±~1.5 ulp is common)

I still really need to finish my Tempest clone game for the Playdate since the crank gives amazing authentic spinner-like gameplay that feels really good. But it's just too slow, I just can't make the gameplay compare at all to the absolutely fantastic modern Tempest games like Tempest 4000 and […]

I feel like the biggest benefit to arcade games in the modren era is having experimental and completely novel input methods, which I guess they're realizing but I feel like they're still largely joystick+button or nowadays touchscreen games that you could just have at home although at least […]

Sharing an ad with the intent of making fun of the add or pointing out the weirdness of it is still sharing an ad, it doesn't matter if you do it knowing it's just an attention-grabbing stunt, it evidently worked on you since you're doing the exact sort of thing marketers want you to do. I […]

I like videos and podcasts and such where someone on it is openly furry but it's not furry-focused and the other hosts aren't furries because you get pure gold exchanges like this: Non-furry: "I put the 'not' in 'astronaut'" [note that "not" can be heard as "knot"] Furry: "Oh furries would love […]

I wonder how much of the Steam Frame's price difference versus the Quest 3 is due to much lower economies of scale and higher build quality; and how much of it is Facebook valuing the data they can collect with it (and ads they can display in it) up into the hundreds of dollars
