random thought: i actually have no idea who won world war 1. or like any concrete idea of who was fighting against who. what the fuck even was ww1

niconiconi,

@snacks @chjara It didn't help that every major European colonial power had a world domination plan/dream. Also people believed that the war was going to be a quick and simple one that was going to end soon thanks to modern mechanical weapons - by making them powerful they were supposed to discourage people from fighting total wars... Also, who would be stupid enough to fight a total war to destroy the European supply chain that only exists because of interconnected free trade anyway?

Flat Earthers: The horizon is supposed to disappear below the eye-level sky when you go up, but I don't see that!!111!!!

For h = 1.5 m above sea level, and R = 6.4 x 10^6 m, the difference between apparent and astronomical horizon is sqrt(2h/R) = 0.00068 radians. ​:blobcatfacepalm:​

"0x0.0p+0 != -0x1.97b5500000000p-97, error: -inf ppm"

Time to start hunting for the source of this 1p-97 floating-point error ​:woozypad:​

niconiconi,

"0x0.0p+0 != -0x1.b4ae0c0000000p+44, error: -inf ppm"

That escalates quickly...

niconiconi,

Mystery solved. There were no numerical problems in floating point calculations at all. Just good old uninitialized memory... Each NUMA node initializes its own section of the array, there's probably a problem in the partitioning of the coordinates...

"There seems to be a correlation between shortwave radio propagation and upcoming earthquakes."
"If real, what would be its physical basis?"
"Release of electric charges from the ground into the air."
"Not unreasonable... But after removing the effects from solar activities, correlation disappears."
"Then it must work the other way around, earthquakes are triggered by solar activities via the ionosphere or geomagnetism."
"Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged."

There's even a wilder hypothesis that claims human-made electromagnetic pulses can induce earthquakes...

ohhhhhh
I figured out why the Avnera C compiler uses the batshit mov+or pattern for checking if a 16-bit value is zero or not

it's because it does it for any value over 1 byte, in which case you iterate mov+or until done

niconiconi,

@whitequark @argv_minus_one "subtracting a register with itself, including borrow flag" to conditionally set a register to 0 or an arbitrary constant without branches.
