** Sega Genesis 3D Engine Day 3 **
Blast Processing kicks In !!
Converted the Line Drawing and Triangle drawing to 68k Assembly and gained 25% in the line drawing and 33% speedups in the triangle drawing vs C ( so far ) .
The scheduler calculating the vertexs is still in C , just the drawing routines are now are in assembly . Possibly 5-10 % gains will come from the scheduler being in ASM also.
The Line and Triangle drawing C code took some beating , it was surprising - particularly the line drawing to get a speed up over the C code in ASM.
I guess its not too surprising as the C code was basically handling pointers and integers so I had to get exotic to find the speedups.
Initially my ASM Line draw was 100% slower than the C code - the first pass conversion from C to ASM is always rough as its more about getting it working then refine later , but yeah 100% slower on first pass was brutal, after 4 hrs tweaking it was 25% faster than the C code so thats a good start - might get more yet.
So added more squares and more triangles for load testing at the same frame rate.
Its still not anything cohesive but right now focussing on performance in rendering to see how much can be pushed. As rendering will be the biggest cpu soak the faster that goes the better.
The smaller triangles take about 1/3 the CPU time of the larger triangles at present so theres definately a fill rate limit vs the setup time to consider. The same would go for the squares been line framed - smaller ones would allow al lot more .

Esse é o caminho da normalização do FIM DO DINHEIRO FÍSICO que chamam de “teoria da conspiração” ou dizem que “não vai acontecer”.
No plano do DREX não vem escrito “vamos acabar com o dinheiro físico” assim como não vem escrito “queremos controlar e taxar cada passo da sua movimentação financeira” e muito menos nos explicam sobre o problema da programabilidade (que decide o que comprar, onde e até prazo de validade).
Mas isso tudo é sim uma tendência global.
Quem controla o dinheiro controla o resto.
Existem projetos de lei na Câmara para a extinção do papel moeda e em contra ponto a isso apresentamos o 3341/2024 que PROÍBE a extinção do dinheiro físico e também evita a imposição de uma moeda digital como meio único.
Today, we release LFM2.5-350M. Agentic loops at 350M parameters.
A 350M model trained for reliable data extraction and tool use, where models at this scale typically struggle.
<500MB when quantized, built for environments where compute, memory, and latency are constrained.

Resultado esse sábado dia 21!
Brasil é autossuficiente em TUDO mas não tem infraestrutura pra agregar valor em PORR@ nenhuma.
Temos a segunda maior reserva de minerais raros. Estamos explorando? Reserva de petróleo pra sustentar o país em tudo e ainda exportar. Estamos refinando? Segunda maior produção de minério do mundo, lanterna em beneficiamento.
Por que? ROUBO PRA KRALHO.
Do político ao empresário capa da Forbes que escreve livro motivacional. Só BANDIDO!
Acabamos de aprovar na Câmara a urgência do projeto que atualiza o MEI, ampliando o limite de faturamento de R$ 81 mil para R$ 130 mil e permitindo até 2 funcionários por empresa.
Na prática? Mais liberdade para crescer, gerar empregos e sair da informalidade sem ser sufocado pela burocracia.
Um passo importante para quem empreende e move a economia real do Brasil.
"Wait, WTF is this," you ask? Oh, nothing much... Just "The Tomb of Raithwall" from Final Fantasy 12... RUNNING ON AN ACTUAL FREAKING SEGA DREAMCAST!!!
Mad modder Esppiral has cooked us up another round of epic console blasphemy with this one, this time teaming up with DC homebrew scene veteran, PH3NOM, who was also one of my partners in crime on our Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City ports to the Sega Dreamcast.
Anyway, Esppiral has managed to warez this iconic scene from the big bad PS2 for our little white box of dreams by leveraging PH3NOM's new engine, the aptly named "Dreamcast Engine."
I've been watching those two cook up crazy new scenes and push the DC to new levels for most of the week in our Discord server, so be sure to tune in to the two of them for updates!
Follow PH3NOM for more updates on the engine and his science experiments with new rendering techniques using the DC's PowerVR GPU here:

@lisboas_lucas Isso é sacanagem da capcom, pega o resident 2 remake e coloca em uma cena parecida e olha a iluminação. Tão jogando tudo no rt pra não terem qualquer trabalho.
Last week the Brazilian government decided to increase taxes on more than 1,200 imported products under the justification of “protecting national industry.”
Among these products are smartphones, notebooks, and computer hardware components.
But here’s the ironic part: Brazil doesn’t even have a smartphone industry nor a significant hardware manufacturing sector to protect.
These taxes aren’t protecting anything or anyone.
Now keep in mind that for us Brazilians, these products are already absurdly expensive because of the exchange rate (the U.S. dollar is currently about R$5.20) and on top of that we already face astronomical import-related taxes.
In many cases of online imports into Brazil, the federal import tax of 60% plus state ICMS pushes the effective tax burden close to around 92% of the product’s value because of how the taxes compound.
Now imagine adding yet another percentage on top of all that, a percentage that is inherently inflationary.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
I have never seen Brazil in such a bad situation in my entire life. Not only economically, but also in terms of public safety, and morally and intellectually as a society.
There is also a growing concern about judicial activism and the increasing concentration of power within institutions that were meant to act as neutral arbiters.
Even our national soccer team seems symbolic of the broader sense of decline...
I genuinely feel like my country is walking toward an inevitable cliff, and all we can do is delay the fall for as long as possible.
Brazil has too many uninformed and manipulated people who are intentionally kept that way by those in power who benefit from maintaining dependency in exchange for votes and crumbs, eroding education, critical thinking, and moral character in the process.
That’s the Brazil people outside don’t see.
Many skilled Brazilians are leaving the country. And if the current political direction continues after the next elections, I believe it could represent a decisive turning point for the country.
Salvation feels individual at this point.
