 # Cache
 
-Cache is a very small but fast computer [memory](memory.md) that helps make communication between computer components much more efficient (typically by making it much faster or taking less bandwidth) by remembering recent requests and answers so that they don't have to be expensively repeated. The concept of cache memory is extremely important and one of the very basics for designing and [optimizing](optimization.md) [hardware](hardware.md) and [software](software.md) (as cache may be implemented both in hardware and software). A cache may also help prevent expensively recomputing results of [function](function.md)s in the same way, by remembering the recent results of the function (we may see this as a more abstract CPU-function communication). Though caches find wide use almost everywhere, without further specifying the context or type of cache the word *cache* most often refers to the [CPU](cpu.md) cache -- cache memory found in a CPU (nowadays in all PC CPUs, however still NOT in all [embedded](embedded.md) CPUs), which is typically further subdivided into multiple levels (L1, L2 etc.) -- here we will be using the term cache the same way, but keep in mind the principles apply everywhere and caches really are used in many places. Cache is not to be confused with a [buffer](buffer.md) (which also helps optimize communication but rather by means of creating bigger chunks to be transferred at once).
+In the world of [hardware](hw.md) a *cache* is a very small but fast [computer](computer.md) [memory](memory.md) that helps make communication between computer components much more efficient (typically by making it much faster or taking less bandwidth) by remembering recent requests and answers so that they don't have to be expensively repeated; this principle is also extended to the world of [software](sw.md) programming where *cache* means a [file](file.md) (or several files) that remembers some recently retrieved data (such as websites) so that they can repeatedly be accessed faster. Here we will primarily focus on the original concept of hardware cache -- software caches basically just generalize them.

 **Basic principle**: cache can be seen as a [black box](black_box.md), "man in the middle" component that's placed in the line of communication between a CPU and main memory (RAM). (Physically it is nowadays part of the CPU itself, but we may imagine it as a separate component just sitting "on the wire" between CPU and RAM.) When reading from memory, we have a pretty simple situation -- once CPU requests something from the memory, the request first goes to the cache; if the cache has the result stored, it just quickly returns it -- we call this a **cache hit** (this is good, we saved time!). A **cache miss** happens when the cache doesn't have the result stored -- in such case the cache has to expensively forward the request to the memory and retrieve the data; usually the cache retrieves a whole smaller block of memory because it can be expected the CPU will access something in nearby memory in the near future (see the principle of locality below). When writing data to memory the situation is a bit more complex as the cache may choose different [strategies](strategy.md) of behavior: for simplicity it may just write the data through every time, but a more efficient (and also more complicated) approach is to just store the data for itself and write it to the main memory only when necessary (e.g. when it needs to load a different block of memory). Here we get into things such as cache coherence etc., which may cause pretty nasty [bug](bug.md)s and headaches.

 - **Don't cheat too much, you increase the chance of providing proof of you cheating and/or making a mistake.** It's easy to cheat more and more once you see it's working, it becomes a very comfortable habit AND it also comes with you becoming more relaxed, careless and prone to making a mistake. But remember: this is what will most likely get you caught and this is what anti-cheaters also rely on -- they may already be suspecting you but waiting for more evidence, you don't want to provide it. Perfect cheat detection doesn't exist -- they like to pretend they have bulletproof methods but it's a facade, they in fact rely on you fucking up, you have to cooperate a bit to get caught -- don't do it. Serial killers usually get caught because they don't stop, they keep doing it over and over until they make one small mistake, or they simply give the investigators so much data that statistics eventually extracts proof and predictions from it: each new murder simply gives a new data point to the detectives that reveals a little bit more about your location, habits, modus operandi etc. Be paranoid: if no one is suspecting you, it may be the case they are secretly suspecting you and want you to think you're safe, they may be closely watching you, so if you can, stop cheating for a very long time, then it's more likely they stopped watching you due to spending too many resources for long time without any results. Also know that each new cheating attempt is also a new risk: more attempts equals greater overall probability of failure; even if there is just 1 in 100 chance of you getting caught, cheating 100 times is suddenly pretty dangerous. So only cheat very, very sparingly -- save it for when it matters. For example in a chess tournament play yourself against opponents you know you can beat alone and against the strong opponents only cheat in the key, decisive moment; then outside tournaments, when losing doesn't matter as much, try again to play yourself as much as possible.
 - **Keep the disparity between your actual skill and cheated skill as low as possible** (this is related to "get good at the game" and "don't cheat too much") -- this makes it much harder to detect, prove and so minimizes the chance of you getting busted. Say that given some amount of invested energy you could make it to top 300 in the world, which may be fine but not good enough for you, you aim for top 100 -- then split the energy, invest part of it to legitimately getting to top 500, then spend the rest on boosting it with cheating to top 100; now if someone sees you legit playing, it's not immediately clear you're not actually on that level, they may think you're overrated, you've been lucky, that's you're just rusty at the moment, but no one can be sure you're cheating.
 - **Be good with technology, know your shit.** If you're a [Windows](windows.md) used who tries to cheat by googling  "minecraft cheating programs free download", you probably don't know shit about technology, you have to actually learn something. Many get caught for stupid shit like leaving metadata in their video that says the video is edited, or they have no clue that cheating software leaves [watermarks](watermark.md) in videos (this actually caught many geometry dash cheaters). Ideally you want to [program](programming.md) YOUR OWN tools, develop your own methods of modifying the game etc.
+- **Check out how professional cheating is done**, especially  for real life games such as OTB chess; for example cheating on exams, illusionists, spies during world wars etc. There are now businesses around cheating, you can get books, tools, training etc.
 - **Don't overcomplicate it, [keep it simple](kiss.md).** Remember that less is more, a complex way of cheating is probably more likely to fail due to just one part failing.
 - **Practice**, a cheater is like illusionist, he comes up with a trick but then also has to perfect its execution, he must NEVER fail it in public, else he gives it away. However practice in a way that doesn't pose risk, i.e. don't practice online against other people; instead practice offline, record yourself and see if you look convincing, if there is something suspicious etc. There may be a good way to e.g. fake blindfold plays by hiding a secondary monitor somewhere while wearing fake blindfold, however it's extremely hard to do many things at once so that you don't fuck anything up, some got caught like this because they were blatantly staring in the direction of the monitor and then sitting in very weird positions to see through the blindfold; one shitty [female](woman.md) streamer actually even fucked up by responding to Twitch chat she was reading on her hidden monitor when she was supposed to no longer see the monitor. You think it's stupid -- it is -- but under pressure it's extremely hard to do many things simultaneously correctly, you absolutely must train to avoid this kind of fuckup.
 - **Plan and be ready**, think ahead. If one day you play like a beginner and next week you're beating the champion, you're in trouble: plan your progression, progress slowly, make it look natural. Don't go from not cheating to full cheating mode, incorporate cheating by small doses, big spikes in performance are suspicious. Be ready for accusations and ways they might check you, anticipate that they may for example suddenly ask you to send a replay file of a record you just achieved: forge the replay, make sure it's good and have it ready. Prepare answers to interrogation questions, prepare ways to cover up your fuck ups if they happen, you don't want to be making up weak excuses on the spot. Take this as part of the whole cheating [project](project.md), every project requires planning, risk assessment, backup plans and so on.

 { The only idea of a solution on how to make a "mathematically precise" human language for real world communication is the following. Firstly make a mathematical model of some artificial world that's similar to ours, for simplicity we can now just consider something like a 2D grid with differently colored cells, i.e. something like a [cellular automaton](cellular_automaton.md). The world changes in steps and each cell can "talk", i.e. at any frame it can emit a text string. Now make a language that's precisely defined in this world; if the world is simple, it's pretty doable e.g. like this: write a function in some programming language that takes the world and check if what the cells are saying classifies as your language used in a correct way within this world (so the function just returns *true/false*, nothing else is needed). Now this single function mathematically defines your language -- by looking at your function's source code anyone can derive the absolutely correct meaning of any word or sentence because he can see how the function checks whether that word of phrase is used correctly, he will know exactly which situations fit given sentence and which don't. Now the final step is only to find correspondence between the real life and your simplified mathematical world, e.g. that cells represent humans and so on (but this will have shortcomings, e.g. our simple world will make it difficult or impossible to talk about body parts since cells have none; also making the connection between the mathematical world and real world relies on intuition). ~drummyfish }
 
 { Yet another, maybe more practical idea would be to create a set of very few core  words -- let's say 100, which we would try to define extremely precisely by all the current imperfect means but with very elevated effort, i.e. each word would have a detailed description, translations to 20 other natural languages, positive and negative examples, pictures attached etc. Then the rest of the language would be defined only using these core words. But maybe it wouldn't work -- the language would be possibly a bit more stable but would eventually degenerate as well. ~drummyfish }

+## How To Learn A Foreign Language
+
+WIP
+
+Here are some tips for learning foreign languages:
+
+- **Learn ONLY the absolute bare basics from a textbook.** Just to get yourself started you probably have to force yourself through the most boring part: memorizing the absolute basics such as pronunciation of letters, basic digits, personal pronouns, colors etc., however only invest small amount of time here, let's say a week or two, then move on to immersing yourself in the language. Sure, every once in a while you may get back to a book when learning a new tense for example, but remember this is always just an initial boost to get the natural learning started.
+- **Don't spend too much time learning grammar.** As per above: you only want to spent very little time memorizing theory, you will never learn a language by reading ABOUT it just like you won't learn [programming](programming.md) or [chess](chess.md) by reading about it, to learn something you must do it.
+- **Start with bilingual dictionary, move on to monolingual one ASAP.** Do not use phone "apps", buy a paper dictionary. At first, when you're noob, buy the one that translates words to your native language, but once you are able to, buy the monolingual dictionary that gives the meanings of the words in the language itself. It is ideal if you can learn the language using the language itself, this helps immersion greatly, minimizes distracting jumps between languages, and you're learning much more (not just the word you're looking up, but also the words used in the definition).
+- **Maximize time when you're immersed in the language.** This is what every language learner will tell you: you learn the language by living surrounded by it. Some things you may do include:
+  - **Listen to [music](music.md).** Music is amazing, it's beautiful, you love it, forming emotional bond with the language, and it gets stuck in your head, you learn the lyrics easily and with it all the words and grammar used in it. If you have favorite songs in another language, look for their versions in the language you're learning, you will likely find at least unofficial ones. It is the case that for example many Italian songs have also official Spanish versions.
+  - **Read [books](book.md).** Beginners often try to read children books so that the language is not too difficult, but you will likely be bored reading a child book, it may be better to rather choose a book that's genuinely interesting to you (for example about your favorite video game or a topic of interest) and then try to slowly get through it with a dictionary. There exist learning bilingual books that come with a side-by-side translation; you may achieve this also by downloading the book in your native language and in the language you're learning and just reading them side by side, for example by paragraphs. If you're a retard who can't read also consider audio books.
+  - **Set your electronic devices to the language.** For example your cell phone, operating system, games you play etc.
+  - **Play [games](game.md).**
+  - **Watch movies with subtitles in the language you're learning.** Do NOT put on subtitles in your native language, that will just make you read them and not focus on the language you're learning. It may be cool to watch movies you already know and like in the foreign language dub, you will just know what's going on and you'll likely at least remember the memorable lines.
+  - **Watch [memes](meme.md), videos etc.**
+  - **Move to a country that speaks the language.** Obviously, works probably 100% of the times, but takes some dedication.
+  - ...
+- **"Comprehensible input"** is a method promoted by many teachers nowadays, and it seems to be very effective. It basically says: "consume" as much "content" in the language as you can, i.e. watch videos, listen to music, watch TV etc., but you must understand it at least a bit -- this doesn't mean you must understand every word and every sentence, on the contrary if you do, you'll probably learn nothing, but you also mustn't be absolutely clueless about what's going on (so just don't go reading medieval poetry right away). The point is you seeing people talk about things and naturally deducing what words mean e.g. from their body language, AND getting the "feel" for the structures used in the language -- by listening to the language you build the intuiting for knowing when something "sounds wrong", even without knowing the exact rules, and this is how you learn the grammar without memorizing it.
+- **Create a steady habit, it's a long run, not a sprint.** It is ideal if you make it a habit to actively study the language EVERY SINGLE DAY, even if it just means watching one 10 minute video every day. You think it's a burden but you'll get into it quickly after a week or two and then it will be as natural as brushing your teeth. It is better to study 10 minutes every day than 70 minutes once a week -- spread the time evenly, this way you'll firstly put in more focus (fully focusing for 70 minutes is impossible, but completely doable for 10 minutes) and secondly you won't allow yourself to ever fall out of the language. Remember: you CANNOT learn a language in a week, not in a month, you need at least several years. If you dedicate 10, 15 minutes to the language every day for three years, it is IMPOSSIBLE you don't learn it at least at some intermediate level.
+- **Use the language to learn about what you LIKE.** As stated, rather than choosing a boring children book pick up something more difficult that actually interests you and which you enjoy -- this is not a school class where you have to read generic textbook stories, you can read or watch WHATEVER you love! If you love [Pokemon](pokemon.md), watch videos about Pokemon, if you love math, go read about math, no one is limiting you.
+- **Communicate, even just with yourself.** You can learn by only listening and reading, but you will mostly acquire only a PASSIVE vocabulary, you won't be able to actually speak; to learn to speak and build active vocabulary you simply have to speak. If you're super asocial, just talk to yourself in your head: go take a walk and try to describe what you're seeing, or try to switch your inner monologue to the language you're learning. Once you find yourself thinking in the language naturally, you know you're getting genuinely good at it.
+- **Do NOT translate word for word in your head.** You don't want to be consciously translating in your head, this is a mistake that beginners often do, they think they must do this but no, that's not your goal. If you feel the need to translate in your head, you're just still too bad at the language -- keep listening to the language more and more, "absorb" it until you just hear the language and you understand it immediately without replacing words with the words from your native language.
+- **Don't try to understand 100%.** Another beginner mistake is to listen to something or read something and stop at every single unknown word, being frustrated at not understanding a whole sentence etc. This just makes you spend 10 minutes on every sentence and staying frustrated that even then you don't understand it completely because of some more advanced grammar or slang you couldn't look up. You want to do this: listen, listen, listen, read a paragraph or two and then stop, ask yourself: do I have a clue of what's being talked about? If yes, great! It's enough if you cough let's say 10%, it doesn't matter you missed some words or sentences, keep going. If you're clueless, rewind and listen again, you'll probably catch more. If there is a word that's being repeated in every sentence and you couldn't reason out what it could be, quickly look it up, but don't bother with the rest. You want the language to flow. Don't worry, if you're focusing and have some idea about what's going on, the brain is subconsciously absorbing the language even if you don't know about it, just keep doing it, in a month you'll see you'll be another step ahead. Test it: get back to the same stuff and see if you understand more than last time -- it's almost certain you will.
+- **Lover is the best language teacher.** { And vice versa lol? ~drummyfish } However you're probably an [incel](incel.md) virgin so this doesn't matter anyway.
+- **Exploit general learning techniques.** For example reading before sleep may be effective to remembering it better.

 **How to convert UTF-8 to ASCII?** [Easiest](kiss.md) way is to just filter out all bytes with the highest bit set, or, in other words, throw out all bytes with value higher than 127 (or maybe replace such bytes with question marks or something). This will possibly deform the text though, so it may be a last resort solution. Better (but of course still imperfect) results may be achieved by replacing Unicode characters by their ASCII [approximations](approximation.md) (e.g. the multiplaction symbol `×` by the letter `x` and so on), but this is non-trivial, a conversion table is needed -- thankfully there exist programs for doing this, e.g.: `cat unicodefile.txt | iconv -f utf-8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT`.

I don't think anything in the article is wrong and that I SHOULD apologize, but I may still want to do it to make someone feel better, EVEN if I don't feel guilty or obliged to.

All of this [bloat](bloat.md) of course makes the information hard to index and search, store, process, view on weak devices, it wastes enormous amounts of bandwidth, computing power and so forth.

 **What are the alternatives to YouTube?** We'll only leave a brief paragraph here for wannabe YouTube alternatives come and go faster than a [zoomer](zoomer.md) changes genders. Best alternative to watching videos is reading [books](books.md) or watching clouds in the sky, but we'll stick to "watching videos on the Internet" here. Also bear in mind that if you have to watch YouTube, use alternative YouTube [frontends](frontend.md), which are normally [FOSS](foss.md) -- e.g. Invidious, piped, HookTube or FreeTube -- these let you access YouTube's videos via less [bloated](bloat.md) and more "privacy-friendly" interface, also filtering out ads and so on, more hardcore people use [CLI](cli.md) tools such as [youtube-dl](youtube_dl.md) to directy download the videos and watch them in native players. Likely the most notable [FOSS](foss.md) alternative to YouTube is **[PeerTube](peertube.md)**, a [federated](federation.md) [P2P](p2p.md) video platform, however for intended use it requires [JavaScript](javascript.md) (there is a way to download videos without JS but it's discouraged) and there are other issues that make it unusable ([SJW](sjw.md) censorship, videos load extremely slowly, ...). If you use PeerTube, don't use the lesbian instances, look up the uncensored ones. Mainstream proprietary alternative to YouTube is Vimeo, Bitchute is the "rightist" YouTube alternative (quite shitty TBH). [Internet Archive](internet_archive.md) has many video, especially old ones -- this is quite nice alternative. Vidlii is proprietary but oldschool site that tries to replicate old YouTube for the nostalgia, it has its own videos and small, dedicated community and very low censorship, it is pretty nice, with 360p videos and all; a site very similar to Vidlii it Bitview.
