Turning GLM-5.3-Flash into a Jev-like decision model

https://www.privatemode.ai/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2FagISS6YofJOwHGDr_Frame2147227814.png&w=3840&q=100&dpl=dpl_49MA4AsZg1o2f2ZF4dwb1Mw4ciPt
An off-the-shelf LLM can make typed decisions in a single forward pass, matching Jev's accuracy and speed. The approach uses GLM-5.3-Flash on Privatemode to deliver results comparable to TypeSafe's Jev in terms of decision accuracy/correctness and speed.

Reverse-engineering the Intel 8087's tangent algorithm: more than CORDIC

https://static.righto.com/images/8087-fptan/8087-datapath-zoom-diagram-w600.jpg
The article discusses the Intel 8087 floating-point chip, which was introduced in 1980 and provided a significant speedup over the 8086 microprocessor. The chip's tangent instruction uses a combination of CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) and polynomial approximations to achieve high accuracy and performance. The CORDIC algorithm is used for pseudo-division, while the rational ...
