Folks making things with #bevy: how many entities do you have in a typical screen? #ECS is a very different way to think, and I have no sense of scale! #gamedev #bevyengine
I’ve spent the last few weeks refactoring the simulation of #edcgame to use #ecs. And more likely than not I will rip it out again. You might think that means I’ll just go back to the state before. But this refactor crystallized a lot of of aspects about the simulation not previously visible. It’s just that discrete event simulation access patterns are not well served by per tick systems. #gamedev
Not sure if this is good or bad, but my recent foray into #ecs has me obsessed with cache line optimized data arrangements #gamedev

🌱 #Cannabis #Studienübersicht zeigt die Bedeutung bei #Magen #Darm #Erkrankungen

#Lesezeit: 2 Minuten

Eine umfassende Überprüfung der Internationale Zeitschrift für Molekulare #Wissenschaften analysierte den Einfluss des #EndocannabinoidSystem ( #ECS) auf die Physiologie und Pathologien des Magen-Darm-Trakts & kam zu dem Schluss, dass #Cannabinoide #Motilität, #Entzündungen und #Bauchschmerzen beeinflussen können, was auf neue #therapeutischeMöglichkeiten für #Verdauungskrankheiten hindeutet.

Endocannabinoid-System einfach erklärt: Wie Cannabis im Körper wirkt

Das Endocannabinoid-System ist weit mehr als eine Fußnote der Cannabispflanze – es ist ein grundlegender Bestandteil unseres Körpers. Wer versteht, wie es ...

Welche Rolle spielt das #EndocannabinoidSystem bei #Schmerzempfindungen?

Das #ECS ist über seine CB1- und CB2-Rezeptoren maßgeblich an der Verarbeitung von Schmerz- und Entzündungssignalen beteiligt. #Cannabinoide aus der Pflanze ähneln in ihrer Struktur den körpereigenen Agonisten und können so in die Schmerzweiterleitung eingreifen.

# Agnus

The one thing I've always liked about Amiga computers is that the custom ICs always have interesting names.
At first glance Agnus seemed like a mis spelled Agnes. When I dove into the manuals I saw the interesting work that the Agnus IC needs to do.

You can consider the Agnus as the direct memory access broker in the Amiga.

A practical example of Agnus usage

* Noise Tracker
* mod data
* Paula

Noise Tracker request0 mod playback on Paula

* CPU interrupt
* Agnus DMA interrupt
* Data playback on Paula

Noise Tracker request1 on Paula
* Agnus DMA interrupt
* Data playback on Paula

As you can see the central processing unit is interrupted only once; all consecutive communications goes through the Agnus IC immediately to Paula.
This Architecture Made it possible to use such a light CPU while The machine did extreme heavy lifting, for it's memory footprint.

Quote
>Agnus is the Address Generator Chip. Its main function, in chip area, is the RAM Address Generator and Register Address Encoder which handles all DMA addresses. The 8361 Agnus is made up of approximately 21000 transistors and contains DMA Channel Controllers. The Blitter and Copper are also contained here. Originally Agnus was fabricated in 5 μm manufacturing process like all OCS chipset.

Agnus features:

>Memory controller ("Chip" memory that can be accessed by the processor and the chipset)
The Blitter, a bitmap manipulator. The Blitter is capable of copying blocks of display data, or any arbitrary data in the chip memory, at high speed with various raster operations as well as drawing pixel perfect lines and filling outlined polygons, while freeing the CPU for concurrent tasks.

ECS introduces LIVA Z15 Plus mini PC with Wildcat Lake, LIVA Q4 with Intel Twin Lake

Ahead of Computes, Taiwanese PC maker ECS has announced it will be showing off several recent mini PCs at the show, as well as introducing two new models.

The new ECS LIVA Z15 Plus is a compact desktop computer with an Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” processor, while the LIVA Q4 is a smaller fanless PC with “an ultra-compact form factor” and a low-power Intel “Twin Lake” processor.
