- Encoding x86 Instructions (www-user.tu-chemnitz.de)
It is time to take a look that the actual machine instruction format of the x86 CPU family. They don’t call the x86 CPU a Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) for nothing! Although more complex instruction encodings exist, no one is going to challenge that the x86 has a complex instruction encoding!

A few months back, while playing around with Three.js, I came across something that completely derailed my plans. Strange attractors - fancy math that creates beautiful patterns. At first I thought I’d just render one and move on, but then soon I realized that this is too much fun. When complexity emerges from three simple equations, when you see something chaotic emerge into beautiful, it’s hard not to waste some time. I’ve spent countless hours, maybe more than I’d care to admit, watching these patterns form. I realized there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing order emerge from randomness. Let me show you what kept me hooked.
