Atari 2600 is tiny, but the code in atari 2600 games is so precisely written that if you sneeze on it it breaks completely. The 2600 had CPU-drive graphics. And I don't mean like the ZX80 where games would write to VRAM at their leisure, and then later on the CPU would push those VRAM bits out to the screen - the 2600 doesn't have enough RAM for that. No, I mean that, when it came time to draw the screen to the TV, a 2600 game would *use game logic to render a scanline of graphics in real-time as the beam crosses the screen.* It would do this for every scanline. It would use most of the CPU's time (leaving the vblank period for higher level game logic, a reversal of the typical arrangement), and if code wasn't tuned perfectly it would completely break. There wasn't enough RAM to do anything else, nothing ever did anything like that ever again, and its one of the craziest ways to render a game ever conceived. Meanwhile, anybody who's watched a Vinny corruption stream knows how much you can break an NES game and still have it keep on going.

I wish to see you getting nerd-sniped by this and somehow do floating point maths with analogue waves or something, maybe even build a whole (super basic) computer using the weird differentiator and integrator components. As a starting seed, note that you can get ln through integrating 1/x, and through ln you can get abs(x), and through that you can practically make arbitrary circuit. Don't know how useful or practical this is, but hey, maybe you end up discovering something video-worthy. I have some more ideas btw, mainly stemming from trying to (ab)use Desmos to define Boolean algebra and, hence, to create functions for equality and less than etc so that I'm able to define piecewise functions without any piecewise notation.

Analog computers were/are a thing, just that noise+imprecision limits the amount of stages you can cascade, and therefore the amount of cool stuff you can practically do And getting piecewise linear functions is pretty easy with step(x) = abs(x)/x ;) Used tricks like this to write text as graphs of functions on my calculator in boring math classes, the fun part is getting two lines above each other (interleaved with sign(sin(N * x)) or so)

I was actually just at an academic conference where a similar problem was discussed! (The paper is Model Checking Linear Dynamical Systems under Floating-point Rounding at TACAS 2023) The authors want to verify certain linear programs, but find that with rounding it is undecidable for the same reasons as Tom: They can construct a computer. Their computer is a Turing machine, which I think we can all agree is much simpler than the NES, but it's the same idea. They go on to show that restricting the programs to non-negative coefficients makes the problem decidable again, because it forces the behavior to be somehow periodic.

40:33 "Wait, did I already write this paper? Damn it!" Comedy gold right there.

So, one theoretical result of this is that, pretending we're working with reals for a second, you could multiply all of these linear operations out into one single matrix, right. Obviously, multiplying by the matrix does absolutely nothing, but It'd be kinda fun to see what the "NES emulator state transition matrix" ends up looking like.

I would guess that a lot of the operations will turn out to just be the zero function, or just some small constant, because a lot of the time we are trying to eliminate everything except for the error (in order to magnify it and use it). But by doing that with precise linear operations, everything would exactly cancel out. It's hard to know if this would eventually result in the overall matrix being the zero matrix, or just some very degenerate matrix, or maybe I'm completely wrong in assuming this at all.

The real trick is finding artists who also love computer science

No line in a youtube video has ever affected me like "This is the world's most boring Nintendo game ... You can't win it or even play it. It exists only to destroy your mind." in that style of delivery. I am in tears

unironically, this channel actually makes me want to learn this stuff in depth. thanks!

tom i haven't watched it yet but i'm excited for the technical chicanery you have in store for us this time

Should we use linear or non-linear functions? Tom: Yes

I'm impressed by the amount of skill you have to present a complicated topic I don't understand (past the 10 minute mark), and make me enjoy an almost hour-long video, which I normally don't enjoy watching.

your videos are a beacon of information, entertainment and above all, impracticality. thank you for everything that you do.

our yearly suckerpunch video should be coming up soon

Oh man, the procrastination tax comment really speaks to my soul man. Super interesting video!

Drinking game: you drink every time Tom says something like "this isn't optimal", or "that's not actually how it should be done", or "this is a bad idea"

I love your videos! You are one of my favorite youtubers. You’ve also inspired me to try writing my own paper for sigbovik next year

Great! We look forward to it, but the most important part is to have fun doing it :)

Agreed. This is the first time I've seen AI art used well. This is what it's *for*.

Desperately awaiting the next Tom7 video

I watched all 55 minutes of this, and did not understand even one second of it. It *did* get me to binge my favorite Tom7 videos, as is tradition for all Tom7 uploads, so the upload was most welcome indeed.

This man will escape the matrix one day ... "Given the microscopic rounding errors in quantum mechanics, I have found a way to ..."

Loved seeing this presented at SIGBOVIK this year!

You always make my brain hurt in the best possible way exactly like a hangover doesn't

Nearly every video that comes out, I need to re-watch at least one time (sometimes as high as 3 times)... this feels like the most re-watch necessary one so far, by a long shot.

the surreality of these videos really just washes over me as i watch them, like lying down on an alien beach as the tide comes in
