@aeva or do you mean sexually?
in that case, I really don't know

@aeva Maybe just be more openminded?

@rygorous what situations would i prefer to don't

holy shit.
ok so mollytime had this perf problem that's been driving me lowkey crazy since i implemented polyphony where sometimes a patch's load % would shoot up super high depending on which midi I was feeding it, and like, it shouldn't *do* that.
switching on DAZ and FTZ just now brought a case that was hitting 45% load down to 16% holy smokes

@rygorous so like if I leave DAZ and FTZ on what situation will I be like shocked pikachu face

@aeva whoaaaaaa

@aeva For audio?
Mostly you just won't need it if your IIR filters and delay lines (these are the two main culprits) just do this magic supah sekrit fixup on their input:
input += 1e-30f;
(or, in some cases, put it on the output for the feedback signals)

@aeva It's fine for audio code but when you turn it on, you generally want to put it in a scope guard thingy that saves the original MXCSR and restores it after (way out in the outer loop, not per function or anything, toggling that isn't super cheap) because it changes the results of some float calcs and breaks a few rules that while not _super_ important might trip you up

@aeva me and the DSP classic: "why does it get very slow after the envelope fades out"
I solved this when I was doing a synth in Flash by adding noise

@aeva the main thing that breaks without denormals on is that some numeric code might start slightly misbehaving in rare corner cases you're unlikely to notice, and certain assumptions like "if (a != b) then a-b != 0" don't hold with denormals off

@rygorous ah, so for example, a not quite zero value and zero compare differently depending on whether DAZ is on, stuff like that?

@aeva You can have values that are different but their difference is a subnormal value and suddenly with FTZ you have div-by-0s, yeah.
(This is super rare but still.)

@aeva I thought that's what we did by coming here.

Resistenze! In tutti gli Stati Uniti, le persone stanno smantellando e distruggendo le telecamere di sorveglianza Flock
La rabbia per i collegamenti con l'ICE e le violazioni della privacy sta alimentando il sabotaggio. IN PIÙ: 10.000 autisti chiedono a Uber di restituire i salari rubati, un uomo viene arrestato durante un'udienza pubblica su un data center e altro ancora.

Over the years, I’ve fixed numerous security issues in #Conversations_im. Whether reported by third parties or flagged internally, all were resolved within 24 hours of discovery.
The two most severe issues were both identified during internal reviews.

@signorina37 ci siamo arrivati: dai soldi cartacei, alle carte di credito, poi l'homebanking, dalle sim telefoniche alle e-sim, la digitalizzazione dell'identità dai profili social, adesso la e-ID... in un mondo sempre più etereo: l'essere umano con la sua fisicità, sempre più spogliato di tutto e tutto il resto è status ed etereo.
Ha un non so che di evolutivamente antropologico nell'era di rivoluzione digitale al tempo delle AI. 😅

@andre123 Dubito tu possa farlo se non hai comunque un dispositivo LORA collegato a internet, non basta il telefonino.🙏

@andycarolan just checked and there’s a “nothing to see here” page. I don’t think I did anything with it so that’s maybe why it’s blank at moment.

@purplelime Ooh, I didn't know that! If you use your account name and add .omg.lol to the end, you should see either your page, or "nothing to see here" with the prami logo if it's not live.
