This doesn't explain why terrestrial plants didn't evolve some way to utilize e.g. UV radiation. It should be possible in theory, since we know of radiotrophic fungi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotrophic

The problem? So you're saying that laypeople shouldn't be allowed to create new browsers that interact with the Web in whatever way they want to? Why exactly?

Lmao, no. When you put a webview in an app, the app is the browser. Period. A browser is by definition an app that displays webviews. And yes, a browser can access and modify the webpages it is displaying, no shit. That’s literallt the

1. IEE754 floats are already nonlinear. The precision is the highest around zero. 2. Bitmap images are not using floating-point values, except in some super niche use cases like GIS data, so “posits” are irrelevant for the use case you’ve p

Stadia and GeForce Now already does this. But I don't think this will be the business model of the Web at large. Server costs would be too high. Webassembly blobs with WebGL gives you the sweet spot by offloading the compute cost to th

One way or another, the endgame is going to be websites which are nothing but a fullscreen WebGL canvas driven by webassembly. Things will steadily devolve for users from that point. Then we’ll need about ten years for the next generation o

The sin/cos lookup tables would only contain an octant of the circle and use various symmetries to map other values to that range. Thus the resolution is ~0.176 degrees for a 256-entry table. sin(x) = -sin(-x) = sin(pi - x) = cos(pi&#x
