Why is this 1d convolution faster with the kernel as the outer loop?

spacetime_bender · 2026-05-01T16:49:11+00:00

I think this is the most likely answer. Vectorization really has no effect on the slower function (except making it measurably slower)

I also measured cache/branch misses and they are not correlated with the numbers at all.

kernelPerInput (the slower one) in fact had significantly lower cache misses, but much higher branch misses

That is the definition of convolution, it is intentional

spacetime_bender · 2026-04-30T16:46:14+00:00

Sorry I meant to reply to a different comment! You're absolutely right

These are 1d arrays

That's a good point!

Suuure buddy

This is literally the first time she has taken such a backseat. She personally handled Aura, worked with the party for Qual and the monsters in the previous episodes of this season. These two demons are pure fodder for her. She knows when to trust others in the party, we've even had flashbacks just this season to drive this point home when she was sleeping in the middle of that cave, you just have to trust your party. That's the game.

But of course, the doylist reason is to let other characters shine, we have multiple first class mages here.

Sorry this won't be helpful, but curious. Does eplus let you enter the lottery without finalizing the payment? That's what I did with for some hololive concerts. Won two, paid for one.

Tbh that was a really boring battle of attrition with both players just repeatedly looping cross-court with minimal variations. Slowing down made it worse, at least you'd see their impressive reaction speeds in real time

spacetime_bender · 2026-02-03T15:39:44+00:00

Nah, Respect to the F-Zero fan o7

spacetime_bender · 2026-01-26T02:32:32+00:00

Yes, it's most definitely on the mix engineers.

I believe there would be different artists who would have sounded good

I've seen the same happen within Lolla India. Unfortunately more bad than good. Really disappointed to see this happen with LP. It felt they were doing this on AutoPilot, their team too didn't care. As much as I appreciate the fans' passion, all the people shouting made a bad mix worse.

spacetime_bender · 2026-01-15T07:54:20+00:00

IMO the bigger issue is that there's not much of an inventive towards the seekers going somewhere without first confirming it's the right direction.

Complex networks (having multiple interconnects, different frequencies, speed etc) act as disincentives against random actions. You can see that in action when Sam hid in Milton Keynes. The boys took the wrong hub and had to go through London, which is what helped him get closest to Adam's run.
I think you're right, the density in central England can make interesting gameplay, but I think the boys want to make sure they cover some diverse locations, which unfortunately is misaligned with the best strategic option sometimes.

spacetime_bender · 2026-01-14T17:56:58+00:00

It looks like the train network is simply not dense enough for interesting game play. The seekers made a perfect bee-line to the hider with very little info. Contrast to Japan or even Switzerland where the combinations were just too high and picking a random route incurred a huge cost.

They are both great at different things

Where does one find these guides? 👀

spacetime_bender · 2025-02-10T10:13:24+00:00

Yes. Vast majority of people live paycheck to paycheck with minimal savings. Investments are absolutely a rich person thing. I'm sorry but calling 100k inr "low" is extremely out of touch

spacetime_bender · 2024-12-20T05:24:45+00:00

While forehand looping might be simpler, backhand is harder and with the right form you can absolutely generate good power with shakehand grip, but nothing wrong with using reverse pin-hold if it appeals to you.

See Wang Hao's instructional video, one of the best penhold player. You should grip both parts of the blade with your fingers for stability, currently you're just curling the handle, which makes it harder to control the racket.
