@rk i only learned this stuff yesterday  (well, the entire planar stuff at least, i've been hacking on video processor mft for a while now, but never really had to touch dxvk/vulkan code for it)

@lizzy

Ah. You and I are about forty years out of sync. I definitely need to catch up but, if you’re interested in how we dealt with memory bandwidth limitations the original planar modes on the Amiga (and similarly vintaged systems) some spelunking might be fun.

@rk im really interested in that yea
i've also watched a bunch of videos about the N64 where the membus is very limited while the cpu is very powerful, so often it's better write smaller, less cpu-efficient code - not unrolling loops etc.
it also has to share the membus with the gpu

@lizzy

I am only casually interested in the N64, but it comes from an era where these sorts of things really mattered because you were designing your own bus/architecture.

Also, randomly, do you know @mothcompute ? If not, lemme introduce y’all. You’re both way smarter than I am at these sorts of low-level details and I would enjoy watching y’all nerd out.

@rk @lizzy i actually got a nintendo 64 a couple weeks back and im honestly so excited to write some mips iii for it once im done with my current project

@mothcompute @lizzy

(Obligatory “See MIPS Run” is the best CPU architecture book ever comment.)

@mothcompute @lizzy

(You both need to nerd out *here*. I’ve already done the Twitter migration. I’m not going to BlueSky too. I’m too old and tired.)

@rk @mothcompute i'm not going to bluesky either it's a VC funded centralized corpo algorithm platform (but painted in "woke" colors or whatever, idk why people fall for that), not sure what I'd want there
@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @rk @mothcompute i have a bsky but i use it exclusively to follow sex workers and porn artists. i follow some fedi people there but everyone's mostly inactive. the tech threads i see are deeply uninteresting to me and unlike here with my 100,000 character limit i am restricted and forced to split my paragraphs into like 5 individual replies. it stiffens my discussion because i have to focus on beginning and end sentences actually making sense as it transitions between replies. made a short post about a stephen king novel i have been reading and enjoyed the accuracy of minor details on... https://bsky.app/profile/puppygirlhornypost.bsky.zoner.work/post/3lniix5anj22c ended up feeling clunky and awkward no matter how much i tried to condense it

Never heard of KYO but kfor.com behaves similarly. At my hs anytime something "big" would happen like the time my friend passed out doing pull ups and had a seizure... they'd somehow immediately swarm campus alongside www.news9.com. so spot on the nose there. 2/2 https://www.news9.com/

the funny thing is I am anti character limit but you’re one of the few people who sometimes makes me consider that it could be a good idea

@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @puppygirlhornypost2 @mothcompute @rk who else makes you consider character limits being a good idea ​
@sodiboo @mothcompute @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 i dunno but you definitely make me consider rate limits
@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @mothcompute @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 HEY I ALREADY HIT MY OWN RATE LIMITS FREQUENTLY THANK YOU EVERY MUCH
@lizzy @sodiboo @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 i used to run into rate limits almost all the time until @lua i guess fixed it? i dont really know actually
@mothcompute @sodiboo @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 @lua this is now officially a hellthread btw
@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @mothcompute @sodiboo @rk @lua all my threads end up as a hell thread.
@CAETFOOD @sodiboo @mothcompute @lua @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 @navi so what are yall up to this evening
@lizzy @sodiboo @rk @navi @puppygirlhornypost2 @lua @mothcompute curled up on my bed, farty cause i ate too much soup
@lizzy@social.vlhl.dev @navi@social.vlhl.dev @mothcompute @CAETFOOD @lua @sylas @rk @puppygirlhornypost2 @Kio @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone haha. no. fuck right off with that mentality. half of us are on Misskey; forking is in our blood
