CORDIC is more accurate, but takes as many iterations as you have bits of precision in your angle. Another demo called Warp in this contest used pipelined CORDIC to do atan2 on eve…

Yeah, it is exact in this specific circumstance. But yes, it's exactly the same trick; I also enjoyed that video in my Youtube recommender feed last week!

And this thread shows all of them on real hardware: https://x.com/i/status/1992802154370011595

Ah that's what I get for self hosting. What browser? https://youtu.be/7xPS-0nydms

lmao! that was so cringe I unlisted it from the main index. who is "we"? part 3 is to find the secp256k1 private key for satoshi's bitcoins

For finding interesting Ethereum addresses on the GPU (uses SHA3 instead of MD5) there's a tool called profanity. Amusingly the tool was archived by the author years ago, and just …

> If anyone has an idea why the TIA’s designers used LFSRs for this stuff, I’d love to hear about it. I'm guessing because a counter would have ripple carry (i.e. five extra gate d…

Oh, yeah. I had to do that for the RISC-V port, too. I'll update the post, thanks.

Yeah, that one wasn't too hard but it's nice to have it to check your work. I didn't go into it in the post, but the real power of SymPy is its cse() function, which I used to do a…

Huh, it has 15 registers? AX, BX, CX, DX, SI, DI, BP, SP; CS, DS, ES, SS, IP, flags. What am I missing?

i mv'd config to config~, then made a copy of it as config. the old file, now renamed to config~, is still read-only.

yes yes, it is owned by me. i edited my username in the "screenshot".

after updating to Catalina I was suddenly unable to edit my own ~/.ssh/config. I still can't figure out why not. I could rename it and make a copy, though, and the old one shows th…

I love @foone's content, but I had to unfollow him because his output is so prodigious my entire Twitter feed became just @foone. On second thought, having seen the rest of what Tw…

Maybe it's filtering by mod/xm and he only released S3Ms?
