fastest text uwuifier in the west
transforms
Hey, I think I really love you. Do you want a headpat?
into
hey, (κα΄κ) i think i weawwy wuv you. ^β’ο»β’^ do y-you want a headpat?
there's an uwu'd version of this readme
faq
what?
u want large amounts of text uwu'd in a smol amount of time
where?
ur computer, if it has a recent x86 cpu (intel, amd) that supports sse4.1
why?
why not?
how?
tldr: 128-bit simd vectorization plus some big brain algos

after hours of research, i've finally understood the essence of uwu'd text
there are a few transformations:
- replace some words (
small->smol, etc.) - nya-ify (eg.
naruhodo->nyaruhodo) - replace
landrwithw - stutter sometimes (
hi->h-hi) - add a text emoji after punctuation (
,,., or!) sometimes
these transformation passes take advantage of sse4.1 vector intrinsics to process 16 bytes at once. for string searching, i'm using a custom simd implementation of the bitap algorithm for matching against multiple strings. for random number generation, i'm using XorShift32. for most character-level detection within simd registers, its all masking and shifting to simulate basic state machines in parallel
multithreading is supported, so u can exploit all of ur cpu cores for the noble goal of uwu-ing massive amounts of text
utf-8 is handled elegantly by simply ignoring non-ascii characters in the input
unfortunately, due to both simd parallelism and multithreading, some words may not be fully uwu'd if they were lucky enough to cross the boundary of a simd vector or a thread's buffer. they won't escape so easily next time
ok i want uwu'd text, how do i run this myself?
install command-line tool
- install rust: run
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | shon unix, or go here for more options - run
cargo install uwuify - run
uwuifywhich will read from stdin and output to stdout. make sure u press ctrl + d (unix) or ctrl + z and enter (windows) after u type stuff in stdin to send an EOF
if you are having trouble running uwuify, make sure you have ~/.cargo/bin
in your $PATH
it is possible to read and write from files by specifying the input file and
output file, in that order. u can use --help for more info. pass in
-v for timings
this is on crates.io here
include as library
- put
uwuify = "^0.2"under[dependencies]in yourCargo.tomlfile - the library is called
uwuifier(slightly different from the name of the binary!) use it like so:
use uwuifier::uwuify_str_sse;
assert_eq!(uwuify_str_sse("hello world"), "hewwo wowwd");documentation is here

i don't believe that this is fast. i need proof!!1!
tldr: can be almost as fast as simply copying a file

//TODO: compare with other tools
why isn't this readme uwu'd?
so its readable
if u happen to find uwu'd text more readable, there's always an uwu'd version
ok but why aren't there any settings i can change?!1?!!1
free will is an illusion
wtf this is so unprofessional how are u gonna get hired at faang now?!
don't worry, i've got u covered
Title: uwu is all you need
Abstract
Recent advances in computing have made strides in parallelization, whether at a fine-grained level with SIMD instructions, or at a high level with multiple CPU cores. Taking advantage of these advances, we explore how the useful task of performing an uwu transformation on plain text can be scaled up to large input datasets. Our contributions in this paper are threefold: first, we present, to our knowledge, the first rigorous definition of uwu'd text. Second, we show our novel algorithms for uwu-ing text, exploiting vectorization and multithreading features that are available on modern CPUs. Finally, we provide rigorous experimental results that show how our implementation could be the "fastest in the west." In our benchmarks, we observe that our implementation was almost as a fast as a simple file copy, which is entirely IO-bound. We believe our work has potential applications in various domains, from data augmentation and text preprocessing for natural language processing, to giving authors the ability to convey potentially wholesome or cute meme messages with minimal time and effort.
