AVX-512 full-register variable grev, with a single control mask. Because why not.
There are obvious variants such as grevving each qword independently.
grevmul by a constant x is a bitwise-linear function that can be represented by a block-matrix with a neat recursive definition
Software was supposed to be the easy part to replace, but it fossillized more than hardware
Of course, plugging a pico probe and a tang nano into neighboring USB ports doesn't work (in very odd ways - devices listed but no longer have any device info and cannot be used) but plugging them into ports sufficiently far apart does the trick. After all why would USB ever just work.
I found out one of my ancestors has a Stolperstein: Duifje Aptroot-Wijnberg died in 1944 in Enschede, at age 88, after living there for a while (originally the family lived in Leek). She died during the war, but I don't know any details. Two of her daughters, Lea and Hester, were murdered by the nazis. Her youngest son Siemon Aptroot was my great-grandfather.

addus(A, B) and subus(A, B)/subus(B, A) are not in top-to-bottom mirror-image positions of each other .. what can I say, it just is that way. Even avg_down(A, B) (or avg_up which I didn't include) is sometimes less than subus(A, B)
Recent releases of Yosys oss-cad-suite-build don't work for me, I get some error about msgpack package missing and I cannot install it (yes I tried, if that worked in any normal way I wouldn't be here talking about it, the copy of pip that comes with it has no SSL and refuses to do anything)
December 2025 version still works
posted on mastodon instead of a github issue because I'd have to log in with 2FA
Anyone have a favourite use of SDP that isn't approximating max-cut? (it's cool but also almost always *the* example, so I've seen it)
Does anyone here know the SereneDB people, I wanted to talk to them about bit-matrix transposes but not over github or linkedin or something stupid like that.
Any tips on achieving time travel? I'm not asking for much, maybe around 30 nanoseconds no big deal
