I'll translate:

[14:37] < j-b> seriously, is that that hard to do .asm files instead of writing 
new intrinsincs?
[15:47] < Daemon404> j-b, intrinsics are faster because they dont get reviewed.
[15:47] < Daemon404> as opposed to Skyler_'s asm review
[15:48] < Daemon404> i also love the arbitrary november date
[15:49] < Daemon404> oh holy sad intrinsics spam...
[15:50] < Daemon404> there's no way that isn't just copy/pasted bullshit.
[16:08] < Daemon404> also
[16:08] < Daemon404> arent these (copy/pasted?) intrinsics possibly going to be 
super crappy
[16:08] < Daemon404> due to register allocation
