01:14 <Schism> Hum. Relaxing. Got an MTO, so now I'm just wondering if I want to do anything at the moment.

01:56 <Cepheid> ALTTP randomizer. Can the boss rewards be critical items like keys?
01:56 <Schism> Yes.
01:57 <Schism> Even optional keys, at that.
01:58 <Cepheid> I predict that is gonna bite DC in the buttocks.
01:59 <Schism> There is one point in the run later on which is comedy gold.
01:59 <Schism> Well, a few, but one in particular.
02:00 <Schism> I'm still annoyed at getting that jellyfish boss in Mothra's room. That was a pain in the tail, though it had the interesting result of locking the boss into a very easy pattern after stage 1.
02:06 <Schism> Admittedly, not as annoyed as I was by getting the jellyfish boss 4 or 5 times in a seed.

03:50 <Cepheid> If yer gonna do that, send a collage of a Trinexx in all the boss rooms.
03:55 <Schism> Ah, but for the Ganon one, I would add a text frame reading, "Did you think you'd seen the last of me?"
03:56 <Schism> Alas, I'm also terrible at photoshopping.
04:06 <Cepheid> I can't decide what would be harder. Romhacking the game to make that situation possible, with text included, or photoshopping.
04:07 <Cepheid> With the randomizer's codebase in play, it would certainly ease the ability to do it.

12:53 * ConfusionRift is not surprised.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> They have gone a little too far with the RTX texture packs.
12:55 <ConfusionRift> probably some clever use of some mods as well.

13:01 <ConfusionRift> Loook at that computer chuuuug.
13:03 <ConfusionRift> So yeah. Some furniture mods, and a 4K texture pack with RTX shading.
13:04 <Schism> Bear in mind this is the same person who did the ESO and Ultimate Immersion mods for, say, Skyrim and others.
13:07 <Schism> Ah, various modpacks anyway.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, what I thought. Was watching this person talk about how his PC just kapooted due to the RTX rendering in Minecraft, and he basically mentioned the problems I suspected with these shaders and texture packs. They look amazing, but only in controlled environments. Outside of that, they start losing out, especially outside of the normal world.

13:41 <LibrarianofHope> they gonna sell great on the controversy alone
13:41 <ConfusionRift> To be honest... I was looking for something like this... but NOT this. I was looking for some form of Pokemon RPG, but more on the battle aspect, rather than having two plushies bop on each other each turn. This... yeah, gonna pass as well.
13:41 <ConfusionRift> Then again, left after B/W1, and I have no plans on coming back.

15:28 <Schism> Ahoy. And glad you're feeling better!
15:30 <Schism> Hm. TIL the guy who murdered 22 people in Nova Scotia withdrew $475,000 in cash from a Brink's, going through CIBC Intria.
15:31 <Cepheid> Yerp.
15:31 <Schism> This is not a positive bit of knowledge.
15:34 <Schism> Kinda wonder what your mom has to say about it.
15:35 <Schism> If anything: I do recall she was with the RCMP.
15:37 <Cepheid> She was a security guard for the RCMP. And I once worked for an ex-RCMP officer. Both are upset at what happened and how it slipped past the RCMP.
15:38 * Schism nods.
15:39 <Schism> I can imagine there is a lot of shouting going on in IA.
15:41 <Schism> As dark as it is, though, I can't think of a better time for this to come to light, as there is going to be a lot more pressure to review and revise standards and procedures.
15:42 <Cepheid> That said, my mother is shocked about some cases that come about. She knows a lot of the higher ups in various police, RCMP and military organizations because of her security guard job for high-security locations. When reports of criminal misconduct comes out, she is often surprised because they hid any indications of it so well that there was nothing to suggest what they did.
15:43 <Schism> To be honest... I wish that came as any sort of surprise.
15:46 <Cepheid> That's where the problem lies, to be honest. The people who get away with it are the ones who are manipulative, secretive, and extremely good liars.
15:47 <Schism> Politicians, I would say.
15:47 <Cepheid> They know how to cover their tracks.
15:47 * PrincessRainbows licks LibrarianofHope so much
15:48 * Schism provides PrincessRainbows with a bacon maple ice cream cone.
15:48 <Cepheid> Though my argument falls apart when you look at the US police situation. Wherein the police forces, rather than pull back on brutality, started being more indiscriminate with it. Corruption seems to spread further than believed.
15:49 <Schism> There is also the point that when someone feels like a certain measure of security is threatened, they are stressed, and our monkey brains tell us to start doubling down.
15:50 <Schism> Something unfamiliar happens, we have to respond in the stupidest way possible. Though that's just my view on it.
15:52 <Schism> We might ostensibly be apes, but sometimes, I think we behave much more like chimpanzees.

17:04 <Cepheid> Hmm.
17:05 <Cepheid> Looks like the highest most compilers default to is SSE2.
17:05 <Cepheid> Specifically because x86-64 by default has SSE2 as a required feature.
17:05 <Cepheid> And by now, it's so widely supported that the likelihood of it not being implemented is nearly 0%.

17:09 <Cepheid> Interestingly, for gaming, it's acceptable to assume that DX10 is the minimum version of graphics API is supported.
17:09 <Cepheid> Only 1% of users report having a GPU that doesn't have DX10 or higher.
17:09 <Cepheid> Oh, hey, Steam does report SSE support.
17:09 <Cepheid> Looks like... It's relatively safe to support up to SSE 4.2.
17:10 <Cepheid> 97% of reported systems support it.
17:10 <Cepheid> AVX is at 92%. AVX512 is... Yeah, don't use it.
17:10 <Cepheid> AVX2 is at 75%.
17:10 <Schism> Yerrrp.
17:11 <Schism> Honestly, while I approve of the desire to support legacy systems, there's gotta be a cutoff point.
17:12 <Cepheid> There has to be, yeah.
17:13 <Cepheid> Especially, since, if used well, they can resolve some performance issues.

17:13 <Cepheid> SIMD basically performs multiple operations in one instruction. I've played around with it a bit.
17:13 <Cepheid> It's pretty impressive.
17:14 <Cepheid> I wrote an application to test early SSE instructions against standard FP87 stuff.
17:14 <Cepheid> I compared the square root function. Performing 1 million square root operations on a set of random numbers. Same set of numbers between the comparisons.
17:14 <Cepheid> Even a niave implementation had performed twice as fast.
17:15 <Cepheid> Er, naive*
17:16 <Cepheid> I'm still kind of surprised though that there's no hardware implementations of a 4x4 matrix multiplier yet.
17:16 <Cepheid> Nowadays, we're expected to do them on the CPU side, not the GPU side.

17:18 <Cepheid> Other than that..
17:18 <Cepheid> Get a better shielded cable.

17:18 <Cepheid> Shielding is important. Also check for damage on the cable, as the cats might have done something do it. :P

17:47 * Cepheid needs a number crunching tool that benefits from SSE to test some stuff.
17:50 <Cepheid> ... Man, there are some weird intrinsics. Complex square roots. Reciprocal square roots. Inverse square roots.
17:50 <Ali> And even square square roots
17:54 <Cepheid> That should load two doubles into the registers... then do a square root...
17:58 <Cepheid> So... Unoptimized build, with custom optimization implemented.
17:58 <Cepheid> Er, hand-crafted.
17:59 * Schism saunters over to Cepheid. "Would you like a glass of Cronk?"
17:59 <Schism> (Not Kronk, mind you.)
18:00 <Cepheid> So, using the standard C/C++ function "sqrt" on two separate floating point values, accessed in the same way, 10,000,000 numbers. 45,700,813 nanoseconds to complete all the calculations.
18:00 <Cepheid> With intrinsics for SSE? 11,684,742 nanoseconds.
18:00 <Cepheid> I should check make sure the values are correct, though. o3o;

18:09 <Cepheid> Yep. Values are correct.
18:10 <Cepheid> Though, adding in a readback into a separate array impairs performance considerably, because of cache thrashing.
18:11 <Cepheid> Let's see, what's the cache line size for Haswell..?
18:12 <Cepheid> 64 bytes per line, so...
18:13 <Cepheid> 8 double-precision floats per line. So if I unroll the loop four times...

18:38 <Cepheid> Hmm.
18:39 <Cepheid> Apparently, it's because the addresses aren't aligned correctly.
18:42 <Cepheid> ... According to internal checks, it's aligned correctly, so why..?
18:48 <Cepheid> ... It's not the load instruction. It's the assignment to the variable.
19:01 <Cepheid> Strange. It really doesn't like the load_pd() intrinsics. I can use set_pd just fine.

19:23 <Cepheid> Ah, there we go.
19:28 <Cepheid> Overall, seems using SIMD improves throughput, but it's effectiveness seems to depend on how the code around the relevant instructions is utilized.
19:31 <Cepheid> ... There is no way that is even remotely safe.
19:37 <Cepheid> .. Apparently, because of the way GCC works, this *IS* valid and works as expected.

20:06 <Cepheid> Schism, I'm not fully up to date on all the going-ons, but I have a question regarding the recent purging of symbols of slavery, racism and such. Particularly, the cases similar to Aunt Jemima, wherein the image of the said "aunt" is being removed because she was a slave, etc. Uhm... my question. In the cases of removing these particular images, what are they intending to replace them with? Have the companies said anything
20:06 <Cepheid> about that?
20:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3383 [ http://tinyurl.com/y86tht9u ]
20:08 <Ali> I haven't heard anything past the removal of them
20:08 <Ali> And I'm not sure why the immage is so related to racism
20:08 <Ali> The symbol doesn't even depict them in a racist way
20:08 <Ali> As far as I know
20:08 <Cepheid> The company behind Aunt Jemima is planning to remove the image of the black woman from what I heard. Though I haven't heard what they intend to replace it with.
20:08 <Ali> Its them, Uncle Ben, and something else
20:09 <Cepheid> No, but Aunt Jemima was implied to be(or was, I'm not sure of the history) a slave, which is the issue people have with it.
20:09 <Ali> Again I have no clue into the deeper meaning, but it could be.
20:09 <Cepheid> So they plan to remove the image. Of course, the problem with this that I see is, that if it isn't replaced with say, another historic black person of note, would it not be white washing and/or erasing of a part of history?
20:09 <Ali> Could be, have no idea
20:10 <Ali> They could replace it with generic black peson with no ties to the old ways but lose it identity cause of it.
20:11 <Cepheid> It's hard to say whether that'd be an improvement. Seems like a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation.
20:11 <LibrarianofHope> its flour.
20:11 <Cepheid> Black people will take offense to the removal or failure to remove.
20:11 <Cepheid> Syrup in this case, LibrarianofHope.
20:12 <LibrarianofHope> dont move it, its not worth the twitter war
20:12 <Cepheid> But the point is, right now, the US is in a civil war over black rights, police brutality, and equality.
20:12 <Cepheid> So people will take anything they possibly can to claim racism.
20:12 <LibrarianofHope> thtas not a civil war
20:12 <Cepheid> It is, effectively, a civil war. Though more of a peaceful one. Sort of.
20:12 <Ali> Not that kind ov civil war
20:12 <Ali> Why is my typing so horrid
20:13 <Ali> But yeah this isn't the north vs south kind of civil war
20:13 <Cepheid> No, not that kind, yeah.
20:13 <LibrarianofHope> meh, not even close
20:14 <LibrarianofHope> i come from a gfamily that fought int the spanish civil war
20:14 <LibrarianofHope> this is a civil rights movement
20:16 <Cepheid> My problem is that definition feels too "small" for what I'm seeing.
20:16 <LibrarianofHope> fair enough
20:17 <LibrarianofHope> semantic discussion gives me headaches
20:17 <Cepheid> The Black Lives Matter back when it first started, that felt more like a civil rights movement. This feels larger, because of the number of people, the extreme divide it's creating, the government reaction, and other issues.
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> is ot actually still on the spotlight?
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> each week is some new disaster

20:20 <LibrarianofHope> USA is nuts
20:20 <LibrarianofHope> least mexican police treat us equally bad
20:21 <LibrarianofHope> which is a very dumb sentence, but these are dumb times
20:21 <Cepheid> Police in the US have kinda started also being indiscriminate as of late. Targeting anyone, regardless of race, gender, etc.
20:24 <LibrarianofHope> it will take years to fix, the younger generations getting the message of equality from us
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> not easy
20:25 <Cepheid> More or less.
20:25 <Cepheid> It's gonna take generations. And lots of legal reform.
20:25 <Cepheid> And enforcing of that legal reform.
20:25 <Cepheid> Laws are being passed, but the police appear to be ignoring them.
20:26 <Cepheid> Some via loopholes. Case in point, there was a recent report that the NYPD commissioner declared the action of a couple of police officers driving through protesters as not "use of force" because the protesters were "surrounding them" and the police felt threatened.
20:27 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, in lighter news. Lungs be doing much better.

20:30 <LibrarianofHope> its a great joke
20:33 <Schism> To the best of my understanding, the "Aunt Jemima" and "Uncle Ben" characters placed upon those particular products were fabrications from the start. No longer viable as icons on a corporate level, due to changes in society, they will be replaced with something else, though I don't know what.
20:34 <Schism> They were never anything more than corporate icons, and so their replacement is anything but a matter of concern.
20:35 <LibrarianofHope> uncle ben is based on a real person
20:35 <LibrarianofHope> least the look
20:35 <Schism> My mistake, then. However, the continued use, contextually, is at odds with modern societal norms, and should be retired.
20:36 <LibrarianofHope> kinda
20:36 <LibrarianofHope> but there are more urgent problems
20:36 <Schism> True. But one cannot simply say 'you shouldn't change this because bigger things are at stake'.
20:37 <Cepheid> Indeed. It's more just what the gut reaction is going to be with replacing it, and what it's replaced *WITH*.
20:37 <Cepheid> And while it may seem small in comparison to the big picture, it all adds up.
20:37 <Cepheid> People can, and will, use anything to fuel the flames.
20:38 <LibrarianofHope> not that they need a pretext
20:38 <Schism> Plus, sometimes, the smallest things can seem the largest. The proverbial 'pebble in the shoe'.
20:39 <LibrarianofHope> a mexican goverment discrimation prevention institute got killed by what amounted to a twitter tantrum
20:39 <Cepheid> No, but with one, they have more backing for their arguments.
20:39 <LibrarianofHope> i dont think twitter ever has discussion with arguments
20:40 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, there are a lot of people trying to get AMLO out of his position right now, by hook or by crook.
20:41 <LibrarianofHope> i know
20:41 <LibrarianofHope> im tired of it
20:41 <Cepheid> Twitter does have civil and interesting conversations.
20:41 <Cepheid> It's just all drowned out because Twitter likes to put what's "trending" at the top.
20:41 <Schism> Yeah...
20:41 <LibrarianofHope> both sides of mexican politics are nuts
20:41 <Schism> Urg. Well, I've gotta go back to work.
20:41 <Cepheid> And so you never see it, because all you ever see is the stuff that gets social media more attention and users.
20:42 <Schism> I have a few folks on my list who simply post chickens. (And the occasional bit of NSFW.) Because sometimes what you want is to see how well Ursula Vernon's garden is going.

21:11 <Cepheid> I figured out why my vyvanse has been driving me up a wall.
21:11 <Cepheid> There's some sort of ratio between the dose of vyvanse and my cymbalta that has to be maintained.
21:12 <Cepheid> I ran out of my 30mg cymbalta a few days ago. I still had lots of the 60mg stuff left over. So I decided to try a small week-long experiment in which I take my 60mg cymbalta alongside the 30mg vyvanse. I'm feeling spades better.
21:12 <Cepheid> Can still work, can still relax, and it's not overwhelming me when I try to relax.
21:12 <Cepheid> I think there's roughly a 1:2 ratio of vyvanse:cymbalta dose.
21:15 <Cepheid> So, stick to 30mg:60mg vyvanse:cymbalta, and I feel great.
