The difference between Windows and a tiling WM is basically…imagine if when you opened a thing on Windows, the window automatically went into some kind of snap layout

[spare quartz]

The first version (Windows 1.0) featured a tiling window manager, partly because of litigation by Apple claiming ownership of the overlapping window desktop metaphor. But due to complaints, the next version (Windows 2.0) followed the desktop metaphor. All later versions of the operating system stuck to this approach as the default behaviour.

[timid quartz]

lol

stacking window managers are what you normally see

[spare quartz]

I see

Windows 10 also supports FancyZones, a more complete tiling window manager facility allowing customized tiling zones and greater user control, configured through Microsoft PowerToys.

[timid quartz]

with tiling WMs it’s also really common to organize different virtual desktops or “workspaces” to handle different things, like you might set your browser to always open in workspace 2 and have a certain tiling layout

it’s more common to utilize more workspaces in general

[spare quartz]

Getting really unfortunate ideas for an OS from this

[timid quartz]

like I could have some terminals open on workspace 1 but then switch to workspace 3 for discord

[spare quartz]

Yknow how in Chrome or other browsers there’s a feature to unload webpages

[timid quartz]

yeah

[spare quartz]

Make it possible so applications subscribing to a serial/deserial-ize paradigm can be dynamically unloaded when you swap a “workplace”

and then reloaded when you swap back

for memory saving…

[timid quartz]

could be interesting tbh

[spare quartz]

Bleh why is it almost tomorrow already

[timid quartz]

I’d say for a tiling WM like the ones I’ve used (bspwm, i3, etc) that wouldn’t make a ton of sense because of the frequency at which you tend to swap workspaces but could be interesting

[spare quartz]

Well that’s why I said they have to subscribe to such a paradigm, since many programs today are reliant on the fact they’re always-running

[timid quartz]

yeah

[spare quartz]

I suppose you could emulate the feature by dumping program memory at a time but that’d be so insanely disk heavy

Anyways cat acquired

[timid quartz]

I was gonna try cwm more but the window resizing thing is kinda terrible (you have to drag your mouse into space outside of the active window before pressing the keybind for it to resize)

I’m gonna load an openbsd vm which has cwm by default to see if it’s any better (if it is then it’s just a config issue)

but desktops like WindowMaker and NsCDE are so retro and pretty ❤️

[spare quartz]

So gross and old

i cant wait for that drive

[flint belfry]

oh my god apparently the framework 16's expansion bay could support swappable batteries but it just dosent exist yet

not sure if its hotswappable though

[spare quartz]

swapping to your second laptop is always faster than reloading batteries

[spare quartz]

my computer is technically a framework if you think about it...

its just a lot more fragile..

[flint belfry]

yeah if you HAVE a second laptop (i have a mac but fuck apple)

[flint belfry]

if i showed your computer to their ceo they would cry

[spare quartz]

they would love it*

[spare quartz]

Ok… I think ha would be better

[timid quartz]

I dont think 類する is correct

[spare quartz]

what’s the part after ha here

[timid quartz]

it seems like 類する is like "x resembles y"

lol

idk it feels like you'd use it like AはBが類する

A is similar to B

[spare quartz]

[timid quartz]

it feels like 類する is like "resembles"

yes!

your brain power is like that of a rocks.

[timid quartz]

[spare quartz]

I was just thinking in terms of English….

since like… you’d think your brain is that of a rocks IN terms of brain power… instead of thinking of it as a possessive…

[timid quartz]

yes

Aerastoの能力 - my brain power
は - [speaking of my brain power]
石が類する - similar to a rock

idk if it's が or に tbh

[spare quartz]

[timid quartz]

it's more common to say 頭

like 頭がいい == smart

[timid quartz]

so

頭が石だ！

[spare quartz]

mmmbbbb but it’s brain power..

[timid quartz]

your head is a rock

[spare quartz]

no…

your BRAIN is a rock

the distinction must be made…

[timid quartz]

あたま is normally meant as brain too

[spare quartz]

that’s weird though…

[timid quartz]

it's how it is

[spare quartz]

and see how it says minds; brains: intellect;

your brain is literally a rock.

[timid quartz]

[timid quartz]

you're giving them english practice

[spare quartz]

I think they were also writing their own English instead of translating too since they say they’re learning it

And it’s clearly pretty bad

But I do appreciate the effort

Awwww

I wanna learn cycle-accurate processor simulation

But it seems so difficult

[timid quartz]

make your x86 simulator be a pipeline first

[spare quartz]

It is

[timid quartz]

unless it already is

oh cool

[spare quartz]

It’s scalar

[timid quartz]

make it superscalar now and handle data dependencies

then make it out of order

[spare quartz]

[spare quartz]

Scary….

The ARMv4 processor is “simulated” out of order

As in the code is executed as if it were according to the technical manual

[timid quartz]

[spare quartz]

But it isn’t actually coded to be functionally out of order

[spare quartz]

Mmbmbmbmb

Do you know how branch predictors work yet

I don’t 🙁

oh my god bruh what is ths

[timid quartz]

Yes

I could maybe put one in your cpu

[spare quartz]

maybe...... but i wish i knew how they worked first...

because otherwise its a piece of external dependency information

[timid quartz]

Conceptually they’re very simple

I’ll pose you a question

[spare quartz]

what

[timid quartz]

Your processor has already executed a lot of instructions, many of which have been branches. Your processor gets another branch and wants to predict what will happen. Your processor doesn’t have perfect knowledge of the future. What can it use to help it guess what will happen?

[spare quartz]

i dunno the current condition codes set

[timid quartz]

Mm no, the prediction happens before you actually have the condition codes calculated for your branch

The simple answer is: history

[spare quartz]

but that requires memory ☹️

[spare quartz]

but the condition codes are evaluated by instructions along the way

branches only act based on their current state (with some freedom on JCXZ cause that works on CX instead) they don't set anything

[timid quartz]

if you consider a fetch-decode-execute pipelined CPU your execute phase is what handles performing the condition check
however you want to know what to do ASAP, and ASAP is in decode when you figure out that you have a branch instruction (but have not done any calculations!)

[spare quartz]

that sounds hard to compute .

[timid quartz]

in a physical CPU too, you also can't exactly just "do cc calculation in decode" because that will add additional time for your decode step to execute which will slow down your clock speed

because remember in a real pipelined CPU, each step has to be at most one clock cycle

clock cycle = slowest pipeline step time

[spare quartz]

okay but if the branch predictor makes a wrong guess then what...

[timid quartz]

then you have to flush and re-fetch the correct stuff

you risk a flush for the chance to not have to

[spare quartz]

but how does it know its wrong ?

[timid quartz]

when execute figures out the actual result, it will inform fetch and decode if they need to flush

a very simple branch predictor is this

• not seen this branch before? make a random guess, record the result from execute
• seen this branch before? look at the recorded result from last time and go with that, change the stored result if it differs

[spare quartz]

mmbmbmbmb

[spare quartz]

how does the processor remember this

[timid quartz]

memory :3

memory that isn't visible on the ISA*

[spare quartz]

001010302000300204021

[timid quartz]

the branch predictor isn't exposed on the ISA so the memory is internal

[spare quartz]

idk it just seems really complex 2 me

especially in consideration of the "virtual overhead" that this processor has to contend with

[timid quartz]

a better branch predictor will, instead of using a binary 1 or 0, will use two bits

• 00 = strong choice, don't take
• 01 = weak choice, favor not taking
• 10 = weak choice, favor taking
• 11 = strong choice, take

move <- if you didn't take
move -> if you took
00 <-> 01 <-> 10 <-> 11

[spare quartz]

(also cause rn i dont know how to separate execute from decode 😭))

[timid quartz]

mmm

I mean ok in your fetch -> (decode + execute) pipeline

what do you do if you compute a branch in D+E but the instruction in F is wrong

[spare quartz]

wdym by "wrong"

like misaligned to an illegal opcode?

[timid quartz]

no like

ok so your program is a list of sequential instructions right

[spare quartz]

yes

[timid quartz]

if you look at it plainly

when the branch is in D+E, F still has to fetch something right

which is normally just the next sequential instruction

but what if you compute a branch in D+E and the next instruction you should do isn't the next sequential one

[spare quartz]

oh i see

well rn it goes something like this

fetch -> jcc [ip++]
  fetch -> 0xA1 [ip++]
  fetch -> 0x00 [ip++]
(BYTE OF MEMORY AFTER JCC IMMEDIATE IS NOT READ)
[set ip = ... + 0xA1 or what have you]
fetch -> ... [ip++]

with some gunk on top to control processor halt/bios...

[timid quartz]

so the fetch -> 0x00 is your fetch state "clearing" itself to fetch the instruction indicated by the branch yes?

[spare quartz]

mmmbb im not sure i understand..

it only reads the next instruction after the instruction has been executed and possibly updated ip during the next fetch cycle...

[timid quartz]

oh I see

so you dont really have a pipelined processor then

you're executing instructions one at a time

[spare quartz]

yes,,,,,

[timid quartz]

that makes more sense yeah

[spare quartz]

i dont know how to think about pipelining cause it hurts my head

(even though ARM architecturally requires pipelining)

[timid quartz]

a pipelined processor would look maybe something like this (ignore types)

// F -[F-buf]-> D -[D-buf]-> E
data class FetchBuffer(   // F-buf
  val bytes: Int,
  val valid: Bool
)
data class DecodeBuffer(  // D-buf
  val opcode: Int,
  val src1RegId: Int?,
  val src2RegId: Int?,
  val dstRegId: Int?,
  val immediate: Int?,
  // ...
)

fun fetch(nextAddr: Int, fBuf: FetchBuffer) {
  val nextInstr = readMemAt(nextAddr)
  fBuf.bytes = nextInstr
}
fun decode(fBuf: FetchBuffer, dBuf: DecodeBuffer) {
  // if fBuf has valid data
  // parse instruction and set dBuf accordingly
}
fun execute(dBuf: DecodeBuffer) {
  // if dBuf has valid data
  // execute instruction
}

fun main() {
  val fBuf = FetchBuffer(valid = false)
  val dBuf = DecodeBuffer(valid = false)
  var ip = 0x0 //whatever starting val

  while(true) {
    execute(dBuf)
    decode(fBuf, dBuf)
    fetch(ip, fBuf)
    ip += 0x4
  }
}

[spare quartz]

so much code......

[timid quartz]

the logic would be a bit more complicated but

that's like

the very high level gist of it

a pipelined processor has multiple stages and buffers (latches) between them to hold outputs

usually of the form

1. fetch
2. decode
3. execute 1
4. execute 2
5. up to execute N

actually wait I have a diagram

[spare quartz]

i wish i could see how the i386 was made

[timid quartz]

here's a good one

[spare quartz]

yeah compared to my cpu the only thing close is the IF part

since theres a special "CIR" register that holds the fetched data

but ID/EX/MEM/WB are all 1 basically opaque thing

[timid quartz]

yeah your processor basically executes instructions one at a time

[spare quartz]

it'd probably take another instruction review to separate ID from EX and MEM

cause for example the Add cluster (which is much more closer to its IC counterparts than the last)

it takes in its parameters like mem/regs through the dc(SIZE)(MODE) lambda

and then executes it based on the cluster its for (eg TwoOperand8Bit)

but the processor just sees it as one unit conceptually, addressed by the opcode

(or Mod for selective instructions under the same opcode)

i feel like the instructions are roughly comparable in execution to i386 though so i dont feel super comfortable with redoing them rn

the biggest issue is probably the PC BIOS compatibility (and 32-bit mode)

[spare quartz]

intrsting

[timid quartz]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Intel_i80286_arch.svg/2560px-Intel_i80286_arch.svg.png

yikes that's 80286

[spare quartz]

the 80286 is the closest analogue to our processor

i386 is where they really did the modern CPU stuff

oh wow thats interesting i didn't know it precached 3 ahead

[timid quartz]

and then if the branch predictor is wrong it has to flush all of those :3

idk if 80286 had prediction tho

[spare quartz]

it didn't afaik

also not pipelined

[timid quartz]

it's "pipelined"

[spare quartz]

its pipelined in the same way my cpu is "pipelined"

[spare quartz]

bbmbmbmbmbmbbm

ughghghg i wish there was a better way to test our processor

theres like no good testers out there

and although DOS is occassionally useful its so so so so noisy

[timid quartz]

for your current processor "architecture" you dont really need a branch predictor

because you calculate the branch before you fetch anything after

[spare quartz]

"architecture" ☹️

so mean ..

omg wait

i know what you should do for programming!!!

make a real mode os!!!

with PC BIOS testing in it!!!

[timid quartz]

fake mode only

[spare quartz]

☹️

you mean like..

virtual 8086 or..

protected mode..?

[timid quartz]

I didnt mean anything by it lol

[spare quartz]

:<<<

[timid quartz]

you said "do real mode" and I was just like "nah only fake mode"

but

I have been thinking about writing a 16 bit program for your "processor" to execute

[spare quartz]

well if you do... tell me how it sends its output out

[timid quartz]

we only use mmio in this house

[spare quartz]

memory addressing cache ❤️

[spare quartz]

the computer supports that (somewhat)

because the memory modules can be any size and set in any position

theres just no facilities for the BIOS to read off it so its basically just GP memory until used otherwise

(ALSO i still need to figure out what real processors do when accessing bad memory)

(and make my interrupts not super bad)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_state_segment

[timid quartz]

Probably GPF

ファウンダーハンバーガー帝国のヒミツ

faunda-
hanba-ga- [empire's] secret

funniest shit ive ever read

[lavish dove]

whenever I see a smple proccessor described its just described as fetch decode execute and thats it

[spare quartz]

tbf theres not much you can do to branch off that

a processor will generally always need to

• read from memory for data
• figure out the electrical path for the data
• do a process on that path with that data

[lavish dove]

make a cpu that must be coded in brainfuck

[spare quartz]

that'd honestly probably be very easy-

oh

[lavish dove]

wait

no a cpu that runs on brainfuck

its a brainfuck describing it

no

no

[spare quartz]

i thought you were saying a microprocessor that runs brainfuck, all i was gonna say that you'd probably need to shrink the instruction size to like

3/4 bits

[lavish dove]

a cpu that runs brainfuck

yeah

obvously birds are responsible for deaths

actually being on earth at all kills you

lets just go to mars or something isnt that the next defualt

[spare quartz]

no mars is even deadlier

the moon is probably the best option

[lavish dove]

yeah but does the moon have sick ore deposits like mars

actually it probably does

[spare quartz]

yeah

bunch of fusion fuel too

[lavish dove]

o kek

[spare quartz]

unfortunately rn the only thing fusion fuel is good for is experiments and nuclear bombs

cause we haven't figured out how to make it make money

[lavish dove]

imagine fusion is actually just really simple to do efficiently and safely lol just havent found it yet

like its just sprinke this rare earth metal in and then encompass it in iron which doesnt even haved to be very pure

lmao

the government is halting scientific advancement; rargh!!!

[spare quartz]

i think the closest experiment to success rn is in the NIF (a government facility)

they haven't reached more energy than they put in for lasers but they've been making steady improvement

it'll probably be another "20 years" before they can make more than they put in

[lavish dove]

thats massive though

I doubt it will ever make more money than it cost to build

[spare quartz]

https://lasers.llnl.gov/about/keys-to-success/nif-sets-power-energy-records

NIF set a new record for laser energy, firing 2.2 MJ of energy for the first time on an ignition target. This experiment resulted in 3.4 MJ of fusion energy yield, achieving ignition for the fourth time.

[lavish dove]

woah

[spare quartz]

April 2025: The eighth successful ignition experiment sets another record for energy yield, delivering 8.6 MJ, more than four times the 2.08 MJ of energy delivered to the target, further demonstrating that NIF can repeatedly conduct fusion experiments at multi-megajoule levels of energy output.

latest record

[lavish dove]

YOO

[spare quartz]

unfortunately the lasers take like 200 MJ for the whole experiment

but soon maybe

[lavish dove]

I need that to power my house

😭

[spare quartz]

also they wear weird suits

[lavish dove]

have you played this https://www.roblox.com/games/18665654892/V1-1-0-Realistic-Nuclear-Fusion-Reactor

[spare quartz]

only once

[lavish dove]

those suits look like its from a book 2000 years in the future (that was written 40 years ago)

[spare quartz]

their reactor model is actually different than what the NIF uses

i dunno how successful it is irl

[lavish dove]

its probably made up

[spare quartz]

no, its not

its a tokamak design

[lavish dove]

yeah made up version of tokamak

[spare quartz]

okay yeah probably

i think NIFs is cooler though since its just a bunch of lasers exploding something

[lavish dove]

how I feel playing helldivers 2 with the quasar cannon

oh its only tokamak style heating

everything else is made up I think

[spare quartz]

oh

[lavish dove]

its still fun game

[spare quartz]

i wonder what it would be like to be inside this while they fire it ...

also 🇺🇸 on the pedestal to be fired at with lasers amazing

[lavish dove]

you become 8.6 MJ of energy

im flattered but im very much not great fuel ❌

[spare quartz]

@flint belfry okay i got a question

so the switches have about 8 hours left on them and the current competition looks good

BUT i just wanna ask if you would know anything about selling to IT companies/businesses instead of buying

because i did some calculations and

sooner or later im gonna run into an inventory and debt problem if i dont sell quickly

(so far my only debt is around $550 though, which could be covered by any 3 specific lots...)

(and with good enough connections the switches alone could be sold for $18,000, -2 for the one ill maybe be sending you and keeping one for myself)

or you aera... if you have any experience selling..

[flint belfry]

who tf are you 😭 why are you telling me abo

i lost the contract......

im about to get 2 barcode scanners... so i can do that "job" thing you keep saying..

(which are somehow priced at $1,400 for this lot but im getting it for $25)

BUT i did just win a contract for barcode scanners that cost $1.6k each (i feel like throwing up)

[timid quartz]

To do the “job” thing, you have to use barcode scanners that are connected to a cash register that a grocery store owns and actively uses to sell their products

[spare quartz]

Ahhh I see

You’re saying I should bid on cash registers and grocery store real estate?

That’s a mighty plan

[timid quartz]

I mean if you get cash registers and a retail plot and build a grocery store and get licensed as a business and buy product and get people to buy it from you then sure

[spare quartz]

oh my god bruh

theres this massive ass lot near my codev

[timid quartz]

Funny thing is that if you’re actually speaking Japanese and you’re not careful, if you say かわいい it could sound like こわい which is the complete opposite

[spare quartz]

i feel like that'd be super hard to phonetically mess up

[timid quartz]

it’s possible lo

[spare quartz]

like idk how it is for different people but "ka" and "ko" are super different to pronounce

Aerastoはこわいだ

[timid quartz]

well phonetically, the pronunciation may not always be what you expect

like for example が is often nasalized into a sound more like んが

[spare quartz]

well yeah but i mean

you COULD just not do what other people do and talk incredibly directly.. even if people look at you funny

like pronouncing ~su completely individually for everything

[timid quartz]

So if you mean to say かわいい but say something more like かわい where the か isn’t super clear…it might get misinterpreted

[spare quartz]

at least it's not like their they're and there

[timid quartz]

:3

I love English

[spare quartz]

mbmbmb menglish is weird

like you could use whatever word for something and people would probably still understand

but in japanese it must be a lot harder

[spare quartz]

(then again "they're" is basically like a ~su contraction, since although it means "they are" you can just contract it, like instead of saying "ma su" you can just do "mas-" [most of the time])
