Signs the thing you built with mesecons might be slightly cursed, #529175: it has a row of 32 switches in it that must be set to approximately 0x5f3759df in order for the machine to work properly |

That seems a little over-general. Shouldn't it only look for that following certain keywords (like "bug" or "issue")? |

Or, heh, your machine has the bonus side effect of preventing any players from logging onto the server while it's running. |

erle: Nothing /that/ interesting, really, just a rather simple machine that approximates 1/sqrt(X) where X is a 32-bit IEEE 754 float. |

The two visible (and two not so visible) mesecons going nowhere are intentional and caused by the subtractor being the same thing copy/pasted 32 times. |
| 16:34 |
Desour |
cheapie: are the high bits in front or far, and for input1 left or right? |
| 16:34 |
cheapie |
In case it wasn't apparent from what I've said so far, it calculates what it does by using the (first half of the) "fast inverse square root" algorithm from Quake III Arena - that is, it interprets its input as an integer (even though it isn't) and outputs 0x5f3759df-(X>>1). Some other constants give slightly better results but I used the classic one. |
| 16:35 |
cheapie |
Desour: Input (switches in front) has the LSB at the left, output (red lightstone) has the MSB at the near end. |
| 16:35 |
Desour |
ok |
| 16:36 |
cheapie |
It's not being used for anything right now, nor do I plan to do so - it was just an "I want to see this work in MT" sort of thing. |
| 16:36 |
Desour |
makes sense if the thing does an additon, and gives the carry upwards |
| 16:37 |
cheapie |
It's a cascade of 32 full subtractors (one could have been a half, but... meh) |
| 16:37 |
cheapie |
The shift is of course just hardwired. |

<warr1024> We'll never see Discord die. It'll enshittify first, and by the time that leads to its death, there won't be anybody there to witness that death anymore. |
| 18:08 |
stormchaser3000 |
Lol, yeah they seem to be doing a good job of destroying their own communication platform as-is |
| 18:08 |
MTDiscord |
<greenxenith> What if, and I know this would never happen but hear me out, Discord starts losing investors so they open-source their protocol and client |
| 18:08 |
MTDiscord |
<warr1024> Discord has so far seemed to be relatively resistant to enshittification, especially compared to other platforms that are speedrunning it right now ... but it's sort of inevitable in a long enough timescale, like heat death. |

remember AIM? ICQ? MSN? |
