> After all of the above work and that talk in mind, I decided to ask an LLM.
Impressive that an LLM managed to produce the answer from a 7 year old stack overflow answer all on its own! [1] This would have been the first search result for “fast asin” before this article was published.
I did see that, but isn't the vast majority of that page talking about acos() instead?
That’s equivalent right? acos x = pi/2 - asin x
So if you’ve got one that’s fast you have them both.
