@whitequark you know like how we as a society has like moved on from "hold down the reset button while turning the console off because the nes didn't ship with a brown out reset and we don't want random corruption on your battery sram"

or maybe i'm delirious

remember when computers in general had a reset button and most of us just kinda collectively forgot about it

@whitequark @mokomull in case you're wondering, you can tell by the lui a0, 0x10000

mips lui has only 16 bits of immediate, so this can't be mips. riscv has 20 bits so yay

@whitequark where did they find this -O-1 code

i genuinely want my work to be replaced by ai. like there's so much more we could have computers do if we didn't have to spend all our energy trying to figure out moon phase bitmasks and whether the pcie controller is in retrograde.

but i don't think there's enough demand for that. these things make revenue too slowly, if at all. and replacing workers isn't about productivity; it's about saving money on salary.

and why would i get your "ai agent" that does the right thing instead of what i ask

@whitequark i think it's trying to say to pad last block (0 to 127 incl. bits) of plaintext with 1 then a bunch of 0, and then chomp off the corresponding bits in the ciphertext because you don't need it, but god knows why it's trying to split the cipher state instead.

it's like pumping drinking water from a river by diverting a part of the river to your front yard and then sending the unused portion back into the main flow

@whitequark like https://namespace.so/ for forgejo?

Intel really gave us an instruction called "setzune"

@whitequark @poppyhaze i was never quite sure what SSRIs were supposed to do to me. i never got any of the stereotypical effects *or* side effects aside from sleepiness

@whitequark @poppyhaze nice. carry on with your psych drug references then...

@whitequark @poppyhaze honestly probably most importantly

you're not taking ssris *now* are you

@whitequark @poppyhaze catherine

Your NixOS unwrapped!

- Your system closure has 371 wrapped programs
- 12 programs from gpsd are double-wrapped! How did that happen...
- Of all your 383 wrappers, 309 wrappers are binary, and 74 are scripts. That's more than 80% of them made with makeBinaryWrapper!
- On January 1st of 1970 you made your first... oh wait that's just all the files here

@whitequark one of the things i've run into enough times is that binfmt-misc emulators contaminate cross-compilation builds.

if you have a bad cross process that runs newly-compiled programs for "host", it should fail and have you fix it. but if you have binfmt-misc emulator for that the problem gets papered over.

being able to force each nix build sandbox into the correct (possibly empty) set of emulators would be a great feature to have

@whitequark this buildah bug should be properly implemented in nix as a feature

@whitequark til that "binfmt namespace" is a thing (it's not a separate namespace, just one binfmt associated with each userns)

can you make an RGMII DAC cable?

i found the words to describe it. it's like scipy. you'll find everything you need if you already know what you're looking for. let me have my butter. yes the parameters are N, Wn, fs, and the result is a and b, perfectly understandable. dang it why did they remove the perfectly sensibly named cumtrapz damn my muscle memory

today i tried learning about webgl. it seems to be exactly the same as opengl es. i'm not sure what i managed to learn.

@whitequark Apparently this is "just" how the config works, see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.network.html

And nobody questioned it a decade ago, so it's here unless someone cleans it up. (1/2)
