AstridToday I learned that x86 has a floating point version of the `nop` instruction, called `fnop`. It does nothing, but unlike the regular `nop` it uses the floating point unit to do nothing.
Atkelar@acqrel so... it does nothing to a certain degree of accuracy? Sounds about right 😁 - but given the history of x86 where the fpu was a distinct chip, it might make sense...
