@lauriewired How does hardware even "guess"? Heuristic analysis? At speed? I this economy? I fail to understand.

Maximum horny drive. Shit posting about titties, tech and my amazing wife. Old enough to rent a car. No pronouns, I may only be referred to by proper nouns.

“if 64 bit is so good then why don’t we have 65 bit architectures”
We kinda do, actually.
Just mostly as hardware, not pointers.
Intel Itanium’s general purpose registers were 65 bits; the last bit was known as a NaT flag. NaT stood for “not a thing”, which was a really interesting way of handling speculative execution.
Basically NaT was a poison flag to say “hey this result might be garbage we’ll deal with it later”.
Today we don’t really think about it, modern CPUs basically do all of their speculation in hardware…and throw out incorrect guesses without any user awareness.
Itanium was essentially a bet that with enough primitives exposed compilers *might* be able to make better decisions at compile-time (versus say, hardware guessing at runtime).
A (very) simplified way of putting it, is that on x86 you’re getting constant micro-stalls that the hardware deals with (…die space penalty), where *hypothetically* Itanium with a perfect compiler had no micro-stalls
…but really, really bad macro stalls (NaT recovery is a sloooow software fix).
Turns out, it was really difficult to write compilers that kept Itanium’s pipeline fed with anything that looks like a normal OS. But, it’s really interesting to see the general idea of “compiler handles the scheduling” coming up again with Cerebras (and arguably, the whole accelerator space)!
We’ll see how it pans out…
(Itanium was lovingly referred to as the “Itanic” by many)

@suchnerve My wife has been on it for a year, and yeah, for some reason it has a positive effect on general anxiety. It's truly incredible medicine!
English
(SPECULATION ALERT!! I HAVE NO PROOF!!!!!!!)
So I’m on the 💉 for ⚖️⬇️ (trying to evade advertising algorithms, sorry) and I realized… I’m not afraid of blood draws anymore. I think it’s quieted the ENTIRE “anxiety about not having Enough inside me” thing, not just food noise??

@urgfmisa Ohhhh fuck, this is one of my _very_ specific kinks!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵

@elsajeanisme Take care of your air, and you'll be fine. 😊

@MaddyLavender My dream for my second life is to support an 0F wife and help her with the production and editing. 😅

@i2cjak Module that just ejects itself like a poptart... Randomly.

@OFAuditorApp @PeachJars As a buyer, it is very upsetting that OF doesn't have deduplication at the *platform* level. 🤬 It is not technically complex to generate a unique id for each upload and automatically react to resends.
English
@PeachJars it’s not really a glitch — it just gets hard to manage manually once things scale
especially with repeat buyers

@suchnerve I feel like I should understand this reference. 😭

@suchnerve All cars should have an advanced mode, with energy demand (HVAC, accessories), acceleration, and brake engagement data, especially partial or full EVs.
I crave data! Real-time, lemon-lime, accurate data!
English
an analog charging/discharging gauge would be wonderfully functional because it would tell you how much power the motors are outputting as you accelerate, how much power the motors are recovering when you regeneratively brake, and how quickly the car is charging when plugged in
Vivian@suchnerve
@wasianterror but as an electric car, so identical in every way except, like, the gas gauge being a battery charge percentage gauge instead and the engine temp gauge being a charging/discharging gauge instead
English
@suchnerve I wish we could pay to access an archive of your shitposts. They truly are the highest quality.

@broadwaybabyto As a man who had a nearly identical event: no, they absolutely did not ask me something like that.
I taken seriously the entire time, even though my heart rate returned to normal as they started taking my vitals. I had no evidence of my event, except my fitness watch.
English
I was in the ER with SVT and a heart rate of nearly 200 and I was asked “aw sweetie are you fighting with your boyfriend?”
I was alone
I didn’t have a boyfriend
I was calm (or as calm as you would expect someone in cardiac distress to be)
They would never ask a man this question

Women should carry a copy of this post in their wallet and read it out loud to triage nurses and doctors at the first sign of gender bias in their ER treatment.

@suchnerve ... Please explain the weird poop. Please. I don't even know how to Google that safely. 😅😅

Neurodivergent people really should try psyllium husk powder, considering the likelihood of (a) insufficient dietary fiber intake and (b) weird poops…
(~1 cup/250mL water. 1 rounded teaspoon / 5 grams psyllium husk powder. Add slowly while stirring rapidly. Drink immediately.)

@suchnerve ... I _really_ want a tiny fog machine inside my mask now. Maybe even add some ominous lighting... 🤔

That transparent one is calling my name…
(It attaches to the one-way outlet valve of a 😷 and helps your exhalations escape more quickly, to reduce the humidity and heat inside the 😷)
Zhou Liang's mask@zhouliang_mask
We aim to launch a dedicated exhaust fan for face masks this summer, after two years of research and development.Three colors will be prepared: off-white, black, and gray transparent.

@cblatts I grew up (90s - 10s) with a different last name from my mother. There have been several administrative issues, but they have all but evaporated now. Most of them stemmed from the assumption of patrilineage, but were almost always resolved through conversation.
English
We had the opposite experience:
1. My wife kept her last name.
2. When we had her firstborn daughter, my wife suggested she take her last name. I thought that was fine.
3. When we had my son, he took my last name because why not?
4. No idea what these administrative challenges are, but we never encountered them.
5. My only worry was that maybe it would be harder to take kids across international borders by myself, so my daughter has my last name as a middle name and my son has my wife's last name as a middle name. Because who cares about middle names?
6. Literally no one at a school, airport, or wherever has ever made this an issue, let alone even ask the question why the kids have different last names. And at least a dozen countries. It has literally never come up.
Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬@lymanstoneky
I think what this position misses is: 1) Kids are gonna have a surname 2) Having the whole household share a surname really is useful for a whole lot of purposes and parents who don't share surnames with their kids often face administrative challenges 3) Making up a new surname for the whole household breaks ties with *both* sides of the family and also most people see it as kinda cringe 4) So it's either his or hers or hyphens 5) Hyphens are fine, many countries do that, but they do make it literally impossible to write your full surname on many documents for many name combos, so you're back at having a name that creates recurrent administrative problems 6) So the lowest-friction solution really is his or hers 7) There's no fundamental reason it has to be his, but either way somebody is gonna give. You can argue it should be the man, but the only argument for that is matriarchy, which is no more compelling than patriarchy. 8) On the other hand the argument for "this is just the convention, don't sweat it too much" is fairly strong

@poe_collector I don't really know, but supernatural events do not occur near me, according to those who believe.

@suchnerve I go quietly insane every time a name field requires 2 or more letters. I have genuinely known two people with single letter first or last names... 😭
English
@suchnerve But... How will we mononymically refer to an entire family?!
No longer will we say, "The Johnsons are being noisy!"
Instead we will be forced to say, "The descendants of Hjarvald are breaching the socially contracted tolerance for jubiliations!"

@suchnerve Correction: I tried using low-cost pre-dawn power rates, as I didn't have panels.
English
@suchnerve I tried this in Texas... I'm pretty sure my house was too American (read: poorly insulated) for this to work. 😭
I'm so glad that I live in Europe now... Except that I don't have AC at all. 😅
English
I still really like the idea of:
1. IF the local power grid is largely fed by solar panels
2. AND a home is unoccupied during the daytime
3. THEN when it’s around solar noon, remotely max out that home’s air conditioner or heat pump, so the building acts as a “thermal battery”

@tsvenusrosie Dumb question, but could a low dose application, directly to the area, of Testosterone cream help? I know hormones spread through the whole body, but there should be a more localized effect, right? I wonder if using a blood flow restriction during application would limit that? 🤔

taking 8 vitamins in total now to see if i can revive my ability to cum and actually have anything come out.
1. Lecithin 1200mg 4x daily
2. Pygeum 100mg 2x daily
