i think i mentioned to my father wanting to learn machine code or something

(actually i might have been learning independently too like most people used to, but this is what came to mind)

anyway he put an assembly language simulator on this apple IIe; a virtual machine or debugger. it was a simulator for an architecture i had never heard of

information on the ieee floating point standard

ieee (insert numbers of standard) floating point numbers are the foremost way for computers to represent and store non-integer numbers. they have become so dominant they are now heavily, heavily used directly in hardware and people have been densely coining new bitwidths for them the past couple years to squeeze more AI model information in.

a floating point number has three parts: the sign, the exponent, and the mantissa or base. it’s a norm for representing numbers like decimal numbers, but instead it represents large and tiny numbers similarly to scientific notation.

the exponent and mantisaa are base-2 integers (similar to decimal) and are paired. the value represented can be calculated by r

information on clouds

the reason there are clouds relates to the presence of dust in the air, and the vapor pressure of the different layers of the sky. basically, there is so much freakin’ dust in the sky, and the air is so freakin’ wet and cold, that water droplets condense onto dust all over the sky and that’s why we have clouds.p, just like when you breathe on glass in the winter and it fogs up.

the dust i think is mostly kicked up by duststorms from deserts. i don’t inow why there are deserts, i didn’t g—

no i don’t think it’s two hours. it would cross time zones. it’s probably much longer.

could you:

- A. make a compactable helium/hydrogen container for a craft to go up and down like a fish’s airbladder

- B. launch a glider from it?

0017

this would be way too big an airbladder to lift a glider i think, way too big

but you could make a paper airplane prototype!

you could affix a paper airplane to a helium balloon, with a mechanism that released after a delay, or at a certain height, or when you sent it a text message
