I think you misinterpreted GP; he's saying that with some hints (explicit chunking with a branch on the chunk size), the compiler's auto-vectorization can handle the rest, inferring SIMD instructions in a manner that's '

They're (approximately) one and the same. * Feedback causes memory-like effects (e.g. reverb and oscillation whine in audio systems). * Besides maybe memresistors, memory is pretty much always implemented via positive feedback (i.e. &g

FYI, you can solve your problem in closed form by converting your Euler angles into the 'rotation vector'[1] or 'axis-angle'[2] representations and then normalizing the resulting vector. [1]: https://en.wikipe

The definition of 'Markov chain' is very wide. If you adhere to a materialist worldview, you are a Markov chain. [Or maybe the universe viewed as a whole is a Markov chain.]
