Of course, that fits nicely in 32-bit hardware. Only... a few instructions. Apple put it in CarbonLib, FreeBSD also used it, and for a few decades it was kind of everywhere. A few years later they discovered that 48271 was a little better. Specifically, a bit more even on spectral tests up to 6 dimensions. It’s kind of funny that so few listened. FreeBSD was still using 16807 in rand() all the way until 2021! So if you ever see that constant in disassembled code…well now you know :) (side note: most rand() implementations moved on to other LCGs, or mersenne twisters and such…but it’s arguable that 16807 is still quite ubiquitous!)

Who else is excited for lagless analog output on... #AnaloguePocket? Well instead of waiting, you can get it now! Just… don’t worry that it’s only 6 colors… and that those colors are all grey. But hey, it works, with no other hardware but a few resistorsshow more

Today, I was in one of Geneva's parks when... suddenly a plane flew overhead. Because of the trauma I experienced in Gaza, my first instinct was fear. For a moment, I thought it was going to drop a missile on us. Then, a few seconds later, I remembered that I am in Switzerland now, and that I am safe. War changes people in ways that are difficult to explain. Even when you leave, some parts of it remain inside you. My body may be here in Switzerland, but my memories are still in Gaza.show more

Always get a strange feeling when I see footage... or photos of these cars sitting next to each other in the shop. It is like it’s a memory, but it’s so hazy that it almost feels like it’s from a dream. When I was very young, dad took me a few times to this shop to see these cars.show more

getting so pumped for this weekend. really feel like... the vibes have shifted a bit in the last few weeks and there is starting to be more hopeful meta after a few years of "downbad"... and i know it's not gonna happen overnight but coming together to celebrate that we're still here and we still deeply believe in the power of digital art is something i still think has an amazing power to strengthen our community... RSVP still open, hope to see you this weekend!! <3show more

Trump: "There are very few boats traveling in the... water right now. Actually, that includes fishing boats, that includes any other kind of boat. So now they'll come in by land to a lesser extent and they will be hit on land also."show more

Booked in for a flu jab 💉next week -... oh the irony that it’s beaten me to it ! When you are on an early and you wake up ill 🤧 nothing to do but push on through …..so if I sound a bit funny you know why 🤒show more

The Des Moines Superintendent of Schools was arrested for... being an alleged illegal alien, and instead of being outraged that they were hoodwinked, local residents protest in support of him. Leftist social media is in an uproar about “fascism.” It’s possible that ICE made a mistake, but his biography is so implausible on its face that it should ring alarm bells. (More on that in a bit.) It’s scary to me how so many people react in such a knee-jerk way and don’t employ any independent thinking.show more

I’m probably one of the only Teslanaires out there,... if not one of the very few, still cutting my own hair. I cut my own hair again today, and it reminded me that becoming a multi-millionaire usually isn’t a random coincidence. People see the $ and think it just happened. What they usually don’t see are the small habits behind it. Of course, I could go spend $25–$50 on a haircut that probably looks better than the one I give myself. But that’s not really what matters to me. I don’t care that much about looking perfect. I care about controlling my time. I care about staying grounded. I care about keeping the kind of habits that helped me build wealth in the first place. And honestly, I enjoy doing it. I’ve been cutting my own hair for so many years that I don’t even think about going to the barber anymore. It’s just normal to me now. It saves time, keeps me frugal, and reminds me that wealth is usually built in the small choices nobody claps for. That’s the part people miss. A lot of people see wealth and assume it was luck. But a lot of the time, it’s really the result of small disciplined habits repeated for years. Not wasting $ just bc you can. Not wasting time just bc other people do. And the funny part is, one day my fleet of Tesla Bots will probably be doing it for me anyway. But until then, I’m good doing it myself. Bc to me, being wealthy was never about trying to look rich. It was about building a mindset. A mindset that values time, discipline, and freedom more than appearances. And once you really live that way, it shows up in a lot of things, even something as simple as cutting your own hair.show more

JADE and her boyfriend Jordan Stephens reveal they started... working on a documentary about JADE’s solo journey in 2021, which she’d like to continue working on this year. JADE explained: “We did try stuff at the start. This was a few years ago now [but we both got too busy]. It was such a cool idea of like, coming out of a group and being a solo artist and all that stuff. So that ship’s sailed now – but there’ll be something else.” Jordan agreed that there’s a new story to tell, teasing: “There’s an interesting take on it… There’s a couple of ideas we didn’t have the time to implement which we could revisit.” He confirmed he’s filmed “3 or 4 years of footage” so far.show more

Trump sounds incomprehensible right now “So I just give... you a little bit of a thing and by the way, the press will say, oh, he rambled, no, that's not ramble, you know what that is? That was genius, that's the weave, now, see, I, I wove frankly the rest of it I don't really even have to talk about, but that was the ultimate weave and, and think of it”show more

So Kris Jenner supposedly spent around $150k on a... facelift last year, and her face already looks like it’s starting to melt. Was that really worth it? For that kind of money you’d expect results that last longer than a minute in good lighting. Instead i guess it just proves that no amount of cash can outpace time or gravity. 💸show more

Well now that I’m retired from baseball. Any athletes... or programs need a hyperbaric chamber? Been used a lil bit but i have ZERO need for it and no clue where to even try and go to sell it so why not put it out there on here. So any athletes or programs in need of a hyperbaric chamber let me know.show more

For those asking about sizes, I went for a... Large in the shirt. I tried the medium on and the carlsberg sponsor felt like it was a wrap around my chest. So I wouldn’t say it’s got that 90s ‘baggy’ feel to it. Large was more comfortable. FYI I went a medium in the sweatshirt. That was more fitting but still a little baggy.show more

$ Billions spent on the wall. They paint it... black so it’s too hot to touch, but on the American side, and now this. That wall is more propaganda than a barrier. If you saw this anywhere else, you’d call it a gate or a fence.show more

The proof that Hudson reads him so well. "i... litteraly can't see you (?)" , it wasn't Connor just being blinded by the flash, it was also the whole room's attention feeling a bit too overwhelming. The way, even in the middle of the crowd, Hudson finds a way to seclude them with his hands, grounding Connor and offering him a few seconds of peace & comfort. "it's just you & me" . They really are each other's rock❤️ #hudconshow more

i got a few comments on the HELLCLOWN 2025... video saying that the song just sounds the same which is really funny cuz I guess I that means I achieved my goal of making it sound like how you'd remember HELLCLOWN sounding if you haven't listened to it in a whileshow more

The #thfc fans’ response to going 2-0 down. 🔊... Don’t often hear that at Spurs, it rarely happens. Only games of note that it was that kind of atmosphere after conceding was the freak Chelsea match in 23/24 and the Frankfurt QF last season. It felt different in the ground tonight and it’s hard to put a reason on it… Performances like that only buy a manager time, which I’m not against considering the current market out there. Given our current run and our home form, it was just very weird tonight…show more
