I had to divide by it anyways, so it was implicitly rcp(rsqrt()), and apparently nowadays on GPU sqrt() is as fast as rsqrt().
I think I was mainly thinking of rules for SSE SIMD, but this is definitely intended for GPU.

In a perfect 1-byte encoding, the difference between adjacent encoded angles would be 1.0 /256th of a circle. In this encoding, those values range from 0.9 to 1.26 /256, with 80% between 0.9 and 1.1. So worst case encoding error is +-0.63/256 instead of +-0.5/256.

FYI FWIW, just to make sure the facts are known, thispersondoesnotexist.com launched in Feb 2019.

the quote above (from Tim Sweeney) continues by saying that allowing per-project settings will just mess people up between projects or some such, which is fair (I have a similar complaint about subsetting C++).
but my rant I just linked argues that within a single project, we can have differences

There's nothing wrong with having Z go in a different direction for UI or even the camera. It's just world coordinates.

Character designers need to get over themselves. You're not making a 2d character on a piece of paper with X/Y axes. You're making a 3d character that goes in a world, and that world is Z-up.

Other good ideas:
- Internet-connected toilet paper holder
- AI agent toilet paper holder
[not actually a criticism of the original idea, just needed to hook it in somehow]

Not muted 4 me but my timeline mostly talking around it. In some tweets it sounds like two people beefing, and in some tweets it sounds like the USA is ending, and I'm not sure if they're talking about (a) different things, (b) same thing with diff interpretations, or (b) same thing & same interpret

yeah, s and c are the sin/cos values. you can compute the cos from the sin because cos^2 + sin^2 = 1, except you need a sign bit for the cos.
the red equation is the equation for s, so shows how it mimics the distribution of sin() for a uniform angle distribution, uniform angle = good encoding

In my memory it's just plain white noise, but this was ~1988.

Naturally it turned my GIF into a still because I used the wrong upload button.

I once daisy chained the 4 pre-amps in my 4-track so that I got the most wretched square-wave distortion possible. It was just 100% white noise when I wasn't playing.

No, it's definitely just a regular-sized digital delay. The Lexicon Jamman is unrelated (or maybe they bought the name, it was after my looping time).

(I can't actually check the model, because the picture is from Twitter from 2022, and they're currently all boxed up.)

Gosh, I don't remember buying it back then.
I guess maybe I did back in the mid 1990s when I was playing with guitar looping (I have a Lexicon Jamman I bought around then).

The blue DOD on the left with four knobs is a digital delay from the 2000s I think? I have one pedal from before 1990, a BOSS CE-2.
