13:05 <Cepheid> Mm. That would be it then. Mille cinq cent.
13:06 <Cepheid> Sounds like 'me sainq sont' to me.
13:07 <ConfusionRift> If I translate "one thousand five hundred", I get that as a result. If I type it in Spanish and translate it to French, it's something different. Odd.
13:08 <ConfusionRift> Oooooooh! Interestiiiing.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> If I type one thousand five hundred and translate it to French, I get its literal translation. If I do it from Spanish to French, it's the translation from "fifteen hundred".

13:14 <Cepheid> If you are using google translate, you are at risk of community mis-translation. Also...
13:15 <Cepheid> You have to be extremely explicit. You have to write out the phrase in perfect grammatic form.
13:15 <Cepheid> Google translate won't pick up well on slang, short form and the like.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> One thousand five hundred.
13:16 <Cepheid> Thus, "one-thousand five-hundred" is what I typed in.
13:16 <Cepheid> Dashes and all.

14:14 <Cepheid> Morning.
14:15 * Cepheid breathes slowly and rythmically.
14:15 <Cepheid> Students are complaining that they have class today because it's supposed to snow later on.
14:15 <Cepheid> There's nothing preventing them from coming in today, the snow isn't expected to start until like, 4-6 PM.
14:15 <Cepheid> They can leave early if they want, that's their perogative, my concern is the excuse.
14:16 <Cepheid> "It's gonna slow a lot later, so I don't want to come in for classes. Why didn't the professors cancel class?"
14:22 <Cepheid> Am I an asshole in thinking that such a flimsy excuse is a bad reason not to go in?
14:50 * Cepheid is divising ways to figure out how to efficiently draw circles using a GLSL shader.
14:52 <Cepheid> A naive approach is to draw a pair of triangles in a square, and then have the fragment shader examine if each fragment of that square is within the circle centered around a point (X, Y), using square roots.
14:52 <Cepheid> While it'd work, square roots are expensive.
14:55 <Cepheid> Fortunately, the formula for a circle allows removing square roots for such "inside circle" tests.
14:56 <Cepheid> So that accelerates things a bit. You can further accelerate it by pre-calculating Radius^2 and shoving it into a uniform.
14:58 <Cepheid> The problem is that it's still a waste of processing power for each processing element to calculate (X - Cx)^2 + (Y - Cy)^2 to determine if it should even render anything.
15:00 <Cepheid> The usual approach for circles is to use symmetry. Since a circle is perfectly symmetrical, you can get away with only calculating 1/8th a circle.
15:05 *** Joins: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare)
15:10 <Cepheid> It'd be nice if you could write programs that subvert the nature of graphics APIs in regards to execution. Instead of putting thousands of cores to use, determine how many you'll need, and then have them all execute a simple program, with certain parameters.
15:10 <RazorSharpFang> Why stop with 1/8th? 1/(2^16)
15:10 <Cepheid> Because there's an upper limit to the effectiveness of unrolling loops.
15:10 <Cepheid> 8 is generally considered the upper limit.
15:11 <Cepheid> It might actually be less, now, due to the way multi-core CPUs work.
15:11 <Cepheid> It's true that more cores is better performance, but there's a point where that idea breaks down because of the cost of cache coherency and cache misses.
15:12 <Cepheid> Also, it can lead to code bloat to go above 8 unrolls.
15:12 <heftig> Cepheid: also how big a loop the branch predictor can cover
15:13 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
15:14 <heftig> Cepheid: ah, talking about GPU stream processors and not CPUs?
15:14 <Cepheid> In this case, yeah.
15:14 <heftig> not sure those have branch (or rather predicate?) predictors
15:15 <Cepheid> I'm thinking in the above case of drawing an unfilled circle, using a single Processing Element(PE) would be sufficient for each circle. There would be a dependency graph if circles overlapped, though.
15:16 <Cepheid> For filled circle, using 2R PEs might be better. Give each one the start and end X coordinates, and the Y coordinate, and have them do a sequential write of the colour to the framebuffer from Xs to Xe on row Y.
15:16 <Cepheid> As it is, I think the only way around the whole issue of offloading *ALL* 2D rendering to the GPU..
15:16 <Cepheid> Would be to use a compute language.
15:17 <Cepheid> Allocate a texture buffer in GPU memory, then run a compute program on the GPU to write to that memory.
15:17 <Cepheid> But I'm not sure Compute and GLs can work together at the same time.
15:17 <Cepheid> Pretty sure using one or the other dedicates the GPU and all it's resources to that one thing.
15:17 * Cepheid looks at OpenCL and OpenGL to confirm.
15:18 <Cepheid> Ah, you can create a context that is shared by both.
15:18 <Cepheid> So my idea would work.
15:19 <Cepheid> Whether it'd be efficient is another question..
15:19 <Cepheid> ... I hate my experimental brain.
15:19 <Cepheid> I'll BRB. Bathroom run.
15:20 <heftig> Cepheid: I think recent Intel CPUs are capable of scheduling; I imagine NVIDIA and AMD have it at least since the advent of proper GPU virtualization
15:21 <heftig> er, Intel GPUs
15:23 <Cepheid> Assuming that GPUs function similarly to CPUs is a dangerous thing.
15:23 <heftig> I'm not
15:24 <Cepheid> As it is, my ideas themselves are dangerous because I am makijg assumptions about GPGPU. Somethkng I have never done.
15:26 <heftig> AFAIU the Intel architecture the GPU has scheduling and completion rings (queues) and the more recent ones can do more than FIFO
15:26 <Cepheid> Right now the big issue is fallback to CPU for special cases. I want, need, to find a way to stop that.

15:44 <Cepheid> ... Oh, great.
15:45 <Cepheid> Kernel update broke LCD brightness control.
15:46 <Cepheid> Guess the kernel update changed some of Intel's fastboot stuff, as that appears to be what broke.

15:55 <Cepheid> Honestly at this point I think it's moot. Probably better solutions than I can think of out there. I'm just interested in doing it to learn.

18:20 <Cepheid> Massivr storm on thr way. Expected to hit at around 5 to 6. Means a lot of rushhour at around the time I am leaving school.
18:20 <Cepheid> I am debating leaving now to avoid it. The class i have later has not been canceled.
18:20 <LibrarianofHope> is this normal cepheid?
18:21 <LibrarianofHope> i would leave
18:21 <RazorSharpFang> Sleep at the college? :3
18:21 <Cepheid> Storms are commonplace, yeah. And it will affect traffic.
18:21 <Cepheid> It is either leave now, or I won't be getting out until 7 or 8.
18:33 <Cepheid> I wonder if it is wrong of me to argue against the professor's plans to let class continue. I did so in a polite and formal manner, explaining the situation as I see it, and as well as current circumstances involving the students(Location they live in, how they travel), as well as other concerns, and expressed that it is my assessment that class should be canceled for the priority of students getting home safely.
18:40 <Cepheid> Discourse is always a finicky thing with me. Much of thd problem stems from keeping my mood in check.

23:33 <LibrarianofHope> how many charcters?
23:33 <LibrarianofHope> i probably have 30 in my menagerie, maybe more
23:33 <PinkieShy> Is steam down for anyone else?
23:33 <Schism> Librarian: About 100 pages worth of characters.
23:34 <Schism> In small print.
23:34 <LibrarianofHope> i have been at this for the better part of 20 years, even with discards i cant begint to go against that
23:34 <LibrarianofHope> is it a good series?
23:35 <Schism> Oh, very. The conceit is that the eponymous Safehold is a late middle-ages, early-industrial-era planet in the grip of cultural stasis due to a Church which denies all technological progress. They have a good reason for it -- way back in the past a genocidal alien race destroyed all the human planets it could find, and so the obvious solution is 'let's not give them a way to find us'.
23:36 <Schism> It's now the goal of an AI comprised of the memories of one of the original founders to bring back 'civilization', and let humanity free to reach the stars once more.
23:39 <Schism> Humanity being what it is, this causes a massive rift, and the AI eventually throws in his lot with the best folks he can find... and bolsters them against all comers as best as he can without actually breaking things.
23:39 <LibrarianofHope> sounds fun
23:39 <LibrarianofHope> is the list considering minor charcters?
23:41 <Schism> Pretty much anyone who gets a line of dialogue.
23:41 <Schism> Or affects the plot in some way.
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> ok, on that logic i can compete
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> considering discards i made a lot of characters
23:44 <LibrarianofHope> but it should be a quality thing
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> what i would be more ashamed i did would be a vampire romance before twilight with my touch
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> even then it was relativly good,
