People often ask if they should use tau instead of pi, but the answer is that usually you don't need either. Most uses of those constants are because of functions that take radian parameters, which is almost always a bad idea: computerenhance.com/p/turns-are-be…

1/N Happy #FPGAFriday! I just wanted to give a quick description of why this is different than previous designs. None of my previous GPUs were designed to be practically useable. I hardcoded vertices/shaders/texels in a BRAM to test rasterization/texcache/and shaders. They were…

When I first started teaching statistics, I was called in by my superiors to explain why my class's mean marks were higher than other professors'. My response: "Why are you comparing means and not medians?" This was met with complete silence. I will never forget this.

I believe this is how triangles are composed out of vertices somewhere between the vertex shader and the fragment shader. #CGFun

I've written a long blog post about poor foundations in geometric algebra: terathon.com/blog/poor-foun… (This is the toned-down version, believe it or not.)

differential cable (capstan) drives aren't new. if you think 1x Neo is impressive, check out the WAM arm from 15 years ago. highly backdrivable, 0 backlash, super efficient (only rolling joint contacts), and capable of insanely low bandwidth direct joint-torque control.

Was Marvin Minsky single handedly responsible for slowing down the growth of neural networks by perhaps 20 years? Even though Minsky actually studied and wrote on neural nets he ultimately was one of the major evangelists for symbolic approaches, which mired the field of AI in a

I have respect only for modern x86 ASICs. It's an art and the highest level of architectural skill to implement and emulate an outdated ISA with such impressive techniques. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel-Rap…

Here's the first pop of Spectrum Chuckie Egg reverse engineered back to a fully assembler-able version. The code is pretty well documented; I just need to add some more stuff to the readme about how some quirky bits work. I'll update the github soon! github.com/Paulie68000/ZX…

Most(?) pronounce it as ‘dough-sssh’, which makes no sense. What would make sense is pronouncing it as ‘douche’. Douche coin. Douche department.
