00:00 <Schism> Whatever. I gave them ample notice in the middle of the day. If they don't want to fix, they can deal with me going offline for an hour in the middle of the morning and just reading a book until the power comes back on.
00:08 <Cepheid> Hmm... not elder futhark, but definitely a substitution cipher with one of the runic sets.
00:09 <Schism> Well, if it's just a substitution cypher, you know how to break that down.
00:10 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: New Balefire Blues Fallout Equestria Mod for Heartsof Iron 4 Released [ https://tinyurl.com/yyqw8gv6 ]
00:10 <Cepheid> The only set that matches some of the glyphs is Elder Futhark, but some of the glyphs have no corresponding rune or translation according to the Wikipedia article.
00:10 <Cepheid> But the blanks can be filled in.
00:10 <Schism> Probably just 26-character randomness meant to seem profound.
00:11 <Schism> Or eldritch.
00:13 <Cepheid> No, it definitely translates.
00:13 <Cepheid> The first sentence is "i am h?ngr?!"
00:13 <Cepheid> Gee, I wonder what that says.
00:14 * Golden sighs as he has been on facebook marketplace trying to get a ps5 for at least around 600.
00:14 <RichardMist> Yeah, very hard to get that thing
00:15 <Golden> Been asking around all day. Most people are asking for 800$+ so I have been saying 600$ to 700$.
00:16 <RichardMist> Please be careful with scamers
00:16 <Golden> I very much am, and will be
00:16 * Schism passes Cepheid a stock pot full of soup. It includes many pig bones.
00:17 <Golden> All that I have messaged was drop off/pick up
00:17 * Cepheid hands it to the Roo that is speaking to her.
00:17 <RichardMist> Then good luck with the search
00:17 <Schism> Still jealous of Mae on having a proper kitchen.
00:17 <Golden> So say they agree I can ask to see if the items are there before handing over cash. I have gotten burned before years in the past so I am extremely cautious.
00:18 <Cepheid> I think it may be a combination of multiple sets.
00:18 <Schism> That'd make sense.
00:19 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's a combination.
00:20 * Schism checks ServiceOntario, and nods. "Thought so. Renewals for health cards are suspended until further notice."
00:20 <Cepheid> That's... yeah, that's an anglo-saxon futhorc rune.
00:20 <Schism> As are, as it happens, expiries.
00:20 <RichardMist> Who played toymaker?
00:21 <Cepheid> ...
00:21 <Cepheid> Oh gods.
00:21 <Cepheid> I think it's worse than just a substitution cypher.
00:22 <Cepheid> It's not just English, it's Japanese.
00:22 <RichardMist> Maybe a compination of different cyphers
00:24 <Cepheid> I cannot for the life of me identify this one rune.
00:24 <Schism> Better find more examples of it. o3o
00:25 <Cepheid> Closest match I can find is the Marcomannic runes.
00:28 <Cepheid> Using the closest match in two different sets, the last sentence comes out to "onacha suita" or "onaca suita" If I use approximate transliteration for the latter, I get... "onaka suita." The first word is the Japanese word for "stomach", and the last one is incomplete, but the only dictionary match that comes up is "suitai" or "decline; decay"
00:29 <Cepheid> Or "My stomach is dying."
00:29 <Cepheid> If you want to be flowery about the translation.
00:29 <Cepheid> Yes, I literally just spent 15 minutes figuring out that this kangaroo-like demon is complaining that it's hungry in different languages.
00:30 <Schism> Still not as bad as La*Mulana 2.
00:31 <Cepheid> There's three sentences. Based on the translations, the first is in English, the second is in Dutch or German, and the last is in Japanese.
00:31 <Cepheid> All are variations of "I am hungry"
00:31 <Schism> Seems a useful sort of one-sentence Rosetta stone.
00:32 <Cepheid> Next textbox...
00:32 <Cepheid> "feed me feed me feed me!"
00:33 <Schism> Three languages, again?
00:33 <Cepheid> No, all English this time.
00:33 <Schism> Oh. Well, now it's clear.
00:33 * Schism passes Cepheid an Elixir to feed to the kangaroo.
00:34 <Schism> (At which you will gain 100 AP.)
00:34 <Cepheid> It's a mix of younger futhark, elder futhark, and anglo-saxon futhorc, and Marcomannic runes.
00:34 <Cepheid> It's... tricky to decode.
00:35 <Cepheid> Basically, go to the Wikipedia page on Runes. All those different sets? Glyphs are pulled from EVERY. ONE.
00:38 <Cepheid> "If I do not eat any food I may plop down dead at your feet."
00:39 <Schism> That your cat? o3o;
00:39 <Cepheid> No.
00:39 <Cepheid> This is more "translation"
00:39 <Schism> Heehee. Transliteration.
00:39 <Cepheid> It's all English now, no other languages. For some reason, he just started off with multiple languages.
00:41 <Cepheid> ... Schism, what am I doing with my life?
00:42 <Schism> More than I am.
00:43 * Schism contemplates going back into Control for the rest of the night.
00:45 <RichardMist> maybe some part of cipher is not translated or it must be like that
00:45 <Cepheid> ... "And if so of course I will evacuate my bowels all over your hoop skirt." Geezus cripes man. You're hungry, not about to kick the bucket and invert.
00:46 <Schism> I suspect you might not have translated that one correctly.
00:46 <RichardMist> very interesting translation
00:46 <Cepheid> "is that what you want?"
00:46 <Cepheid> No, no, it's correct.
00:46 <Cepheid> As I read this script more, I get a better understanding of it.
00:47 <Schism> Well, when someone dies, they tend to evacuate in more than one way...
00:47 <Schism> Also, harrumph. I know what I'm getting my brother this Christmas.
00:47 <Schism> Nothing so profane, just a controller.
00:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:50 <Cepheid> "And bingo was his name o!" - In response to being asked if the Roo was hungry, since the character can't understand what the Roo is saying.
00:51 <ADragonDreaming> B! I! N! G! O! And bingo was his name o!
00:53 <Cepheid> "so you are going to feed me now yes?"
00:53 <Cepheid> Seriously, what am I doing?
00:54 <Schism> Just having fun solving a meaningless puzzle?
00:54 <Cepheid> Truth told I haven't had fun like this in a while. o3o
00:54 <Schism> Then keep at it as long as it's fun! o3o
00:56 <Cepheid> Okay, this explains part of the problem.
00:56 <Cepheid> Some of the glyphs are assigned to multiple letters.
00:56 <Cepheid> The glyph for the letter u is the same for the letter v.
00:57 <Cepheid> "and now you speak my language! i love you i love you i love you!" when offered a Roda Fruit.
00:59 <ADragonDreaming> https://i.imgur.com/Xdcnc7S.jpeg
01:04 <Cepheid> Fed him, and he gave me some ore that upgraded my weapon, then called himself pretty awesome.
01:04 * Lumindia yawns
01:04 * Lumindia steals Schism
01:04 <Lumindia> kefwokefpk
01:04 <Cepheid> Oh thank the gods the last textbox.
01:04 <Cepheid> Fun as this is, this is time consuming.
01:05 * Schism is stolen?
01:05 * Lumindia is tired as heck
01:06 <Lumindia> I've been awake since 4:30 AM
01:06 <Lumindia> I'm a walking corpse at this point
01:06 <Lumindia> pray heal me to remove the walking dead status
01:09 <Cepheid> "Yeah we have it all beauty brains and magical prowess. the whole package. <paw print>"
01:09 <Cepheid> The ego on this thing.

01:12 <Cepheid> "sight of fruit... so beautiful... should have sent... a poet..."
01:13 <RichardMist> the superb gaming Cepheid
01:15 <Cepheid> "do i eat it all in one go? or divide it and savor it over time? decisions decisions!"
01:16 <Cepheid> "i am torn. what do i do?" And there, that's the last line.
01:18 <RichardMist> It's like I'm on a text stream
01:18 * Schism sighs, and decides she needs to ... let's say shave. It's been entirely long enough.
01:19 <Cepheid> The worst part about this, is that I'm probably one of the few people who've actually spent time trying to understand what they said. A typical player would miss all that.
01:21 <RichardMist> Cepheid, I appreciate your hard work and your time that you spent on this game, and will be glad to read more
01:35 * Schism shaves. And now provides Lumindia with ALMOST enough healing to remove Half-Zombie or whatever.

08:57 <ConfusionRift> Yes, you do seem confused and concerned.
08:58 <Golden> As I told Schi, randomly on twitch an achievement popped all the way up to saying I got 200 followers. The thing is I do not even stream yet.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> I have no clue as to what's going on, so... sorry. (shrugs)
08:59 <ConfusionRift> I mean, in terms of the achievement and such. (Wait, there are achievements? Really? Come on.)
09:00 <Golden> It's so strange, but I know it's possibly a glitch. I don't want to lose my account though
09:02 <Golden> God this is gonna bloody eat at me!
09:02 * ConfusionRift has no idea how to check that.
09:03 <ConfusionRift> I even forgot my password. I'm just on the account, because I haven't logged off yet.
09:05 * Golden flops.
09:06 <ConfusionRift> Haven't been on Twitch in a long time. It's likely a glitch, in which case, you shouldn't be having account issues. Then again, dunno.

09:47 <Dappled> So what's going on?
09:47 <Golden> I got a glitch on twitch, and Confusion and I are just chatting
09:48 <Dappled> Sounds exciting?
09:48 <ConfusionRift> Haven't been here for very long. An issue that Golden had with Twitch giving them an achievement for followers they didn't have. And me briefly discussing losing game progress by accident.
09:49 <Golden> That.
09:50 * Dappled just got home from work. Is alternating between desperately wanting new chapters in the web novel he's been following and wanting to bite the author. For the same reason... Both?
09:55 <Golden> Both.
09:55 <Golden> Both is good
10:12 <Schism> You're reading something from wildbow, aren't you?
10:12 <Schism> Pale, I should think.
10:12 <Dappled> I'm reading "The Wandering Inn" by PirateAba.
10:13 <Schism> Oh. Yeah, I need to catch up on that one!
10:13 <Schism> Last I read, she'd left the inn to explore the world.
10:13 <Schism> So there are a lot of chapters to catch up. o3o;
10:14 <Dappled> That was the end of like volume 3 or 4.
10:14 <Dappled> She's nearing the end of 7.
10:15 <Schism> In my defense, I've been working a LOT and also I don't have any real defense.
10:15 <Dappled> Audiobook 3 is set to start recording in January.
10:16 * Dappled uses a text to speech app to listen to it at work.
10:17 <Schism> Fly acid, by the way, remains one of my favourite improvised weapons, especially when the carcasses are a delicacy.
10:18 <Dappled> Got to use every part and let nothing go to waste.
10:18 <Schism> Fry 'em in some oil and the acid gives them just that little bit of bite which is delightful to the Antinium.
10:20 <Schism> Pirateaba's story is occasionally dark, but with a lot of hope, whereas wildbow's are occasionally hopeful, but we know that Bad Things are going to happen and ruin everything.
10:20 * Dappled must avoid giving out spoilers cause you've got a lot to catch up on. You are also the first person I've come across who's read it.
10:21 <Schism> I do like a good fic, and The Wandering Inn is one of the best I've read. And now darnit, I'm going to have to find out where I left off. I think she wound up in the city of mages?
10:22 <Schism> One spoiler I'd like to know. Does Erin ever get someone who actually gets her joke, eventually? "Because people keep wandering in?"
10:22 <Dappled> The City of Invention, Palass.
10:22 * Schism nodnods.
10:22 <Dappled> Yes.
10:22 <Dappled> She does meet someone who gets the joke. And relatively soon if your at the part I think you are.
10:22 <Schism> Oh thank heavens, I'd worried that one would hang over her forever.
10:23 <Schism> As you've reminded me of such an excellent tale, allow me to share one with you: Ar'Kendrithyst. It's a LitRPG in many aspects, but the character and world-building are sublime.
10:24 <Schism> If you're strapped for things to read, that's a good choice.
10:25 * Dappled 'll give it a go. Needs things to distract from hiatuses.
10:25 <Dappled> Though i'll likely set it up to listen to it at work .
10:26 <Schism> Hopefully RR has that option.
10:26 <Dappled> I'm just grabbing the text and pasting it in a reading app. I'm not using a specific app for reading, just grabbing text from the site.
10:27 <Schism> Well, that's fair.
10:27 <Schism> However, that's /probably/ going to cause you some issues when it comes to giant blocks of character sheets.
10:28 <Dappled> That is also a fair point.
10:28 <Schism> There are a lot of them. (The author eventually said, 'hey, main character, maybe ask Roseta to streamline the wall of blue text', and she did.)
10:29 <Schism> It's also one of those rare litRPGs where the system is actually both defined and definable, and people can ask the designers 'hey, wtf is up with this'.
10:29 * Dappled can appreciate a good fourth wall break.
10:30 <Schism> No, it's not even fourth-wall!
10:30 <Schism> The Relevant Entities are the 'gods' of the setting, and they define the System. So people _can_ ask them, or their 'angels' (or moderators) about the System, within certain constraints and terms.
10:31 <Schism> And since the main character was confronted with a _wall_ of blue text every time he looked at his status, he eventually said, "Um, can we fix this?"
10:32 <Schism> Et voila.
10:33 <Dappled> I will say that the biggest problem of using a Text to Speech thing is names. I mean I could go and define how they should be pronounced but I'm usually in the middle of working and would get in trouble for playing on my phone.
10:33 * Dappled just lives with K-L-B-C-H and M-R-S-H-A.
10:33 <Schism> Mrsha is best doggo.
10:34 <Dappled> Poor kid just gets put through so much.
10:34 <Schism> And Klbch is best ant. Besides, she can't speak her name, so who's to say how it should be pronounced?
10:35 <Schism> I know...
10:35 <Dappled> Ryoka did spend time with her tribe and spoke to them. So yeah.
10:35 <Schism> But she's white-furred. Can't speak, supposedly cursed to bring doom.
10:35 <Schism> And that's true. They did name her.
10:36 <Schism> Mnlrgh. Poor little gnoll.
10:36 *** Joins: RichardMist (User@Pony-153.2m0.38.89.IP)
10:36 <Schism> Hard not to feel for Bird and Pawn, too. (Again, I'm right at that point.)
10:37 * Dappled will say that they continue to be very important characters through the current chapter. They might not be in every chapter but they haven't been sidelined.
10:37 <Dappled> Wait, have you met the [Doctor] yet?
10:38 <Schism> I believe it. Bird, Pawn, Klbch -- they're all very important characters. Also, yes, but I don't think I've seen her since she merged and got out of the jungle.
10:38 <Dappled> Okay, what about the [Emperor]?
10:38 <Schism> WELL YES. Him, I've been looking forward to seeing again, and one of my favourite characters.
10:39 * Schism eyebrows at Dappled. "Are you next going to ask me if I've met the [Worldly Princess]?"
10:39 * Dappled 's trying to pin down where you left off. I'm thinking you might be at Volume 5.
10:40 <Schism> That's closest. It's alright, I do like reading it one way or the other.
10:40 <Schism> And who can fail to enjoy the blandishments and victories of the Titan?
10:41 <Golden> Just had a slight scare for another achievement on twitch popped up, but it was tied to explore the dashboard which I did actually do
10:42 <Schism> I was kind of heartbroken when she decided not to play chess against him anymore. (Upon leaving.)
10:42 <Schism> Though amused at how he was struck by the goblins playing around with the board...
10:43 <Dappled> Poor Niers. People who aren't Erin keep messing with the board.
10:43 <Schism> Niers must be so very, very confused.
10:44 <Dappled> Dude's rich. He could find out any time he wants.
10:45 <Schism> Really? The Lady has been protecting Erin as well. And deeply annoyed at the _other_ people summoned from Earth, at various points.
10:45 <Schism> Turns out that when you summon an average high school student, what you get is an average high school student.
10:46 * Dappled 's definitely putting you to end of volume 6. I've basically marathoned the series since I only found it a few months ago so volumes blur for me. I've had to go back and check when certain things happened.
10:46 * Schism nods, "Well, there's no harm in reading back either way."
10:47 <Dappled> Ehhhh. Magnolia's only got so much reach and more than that the chess board uses sympathetic magic. What happens to one end, happens on the other so there's an active, traceable connection.
10:47 <Schism> I'm certain that a given dragon has made use of that.
10:47 <Schism> If he's finished playing Candy Crush.
10:48 <Dappled> Dude found cookie clicker, there's no escape.
10:48 <Schism> Oh dear oh dear. X3
10:49 <Schism> Okay, it's 6 AM, I need to shower et al, be back in a bit. (Might denude my legs, we'll see.)
10:49 * Dappled may or may not have gone to bed in that time period. Have a good day.

11:51 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony!

11:51 * Schism doffs her pickled vegetables and sharp cheddar cheese.
11:54 * Finwe doffs his spaghetti carbonara.
12:06 <Schism> You know. With forewarning of the fact that I'm going to have a system outage, a power outage, from 9-10, you'd think they might adjust my schedule accordingly, but that doesn't appear to be what's going to happen.
12:07 <ConfusionRift> Work adjusting your schedule? For a system outage?! (laughs) That's hilarious.

12:12 <ConfusionRift> We were supposed to leave at 11pm, since the store closes then. Thing is, most have their schedules to clock out by 10pm. Due to two weeks of going over our hours, we were forced to leave on time. The problem is that management is still forcing everyone to leave by 11pm, no one cares and are leaving on time (leaving the few strays management have got necked), no manager wants to even look at our schedules, and they have been
12:12 <ConfusionRift> prioritizing the front, neglecting hardlines.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Got three days with no coverage, and forced to clear out both my departments and that of others by 100%. They're complaining that we're going over our time, yet they have done nothing to fix any of the issues. Let's say this has left me in a rather... upset mood.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> I should point out that said schedules have been set a month in advance, so... no excuses.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and they did poke at my schedule yesterday... to remove a shift.
12:16 * ConfusionRift shakes his head. "Right. Day off. It doesn't matter right now."
12:16 <RichardMist> oh, ConfusionRift, then good luck with it
12:19 <Schism> At least since I've provided a suitable warning, my being offline from 9-10 will be read into the system as a nonculpable.
12:28 * Cepheid awakens.

12:40 <Finwe> Well then, I have some bottling to do at the brewery. Christmas Porter. o3o
12:40 <Cepheid> I honestly expected Staying Alive to be playing to that walk.
12:40 <Finwe> See you later, everypony!
12:40 * Finwe flies off.
12:43 * Schism should imagine that said Christmas Porter will contain a small amount of nutmeg and clove.
12:43 * Cepheid gets headbutted by cat.

13:08 <ConfusionRift> Don't see why not. :P

13:09 <RichardMist> horror, bring me cursed then
13:10 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: And the one eyed all seeing people in the back. Then again, I like this. It's just one of those styles that get your mind going.

13:34 <Schism> H'okay. There, a manager actually reached out to me and said, "Hey, you've taken fifty calls already this morning, do you want your SoS to be a bit later" and I said "YES PLEASE 11:00 AM is fine" and they were all "ok but you're working until 9 tonight" and I went "waugh ok" and then the internet went out and it's going to be a really fun day.
13:34 <Cepheid> Man, this is why I hate language. So, on a computer, the core of an operating system is called what? A kernel, right?
13:35 <Schism> Yes, because it frequently goes pop.
13:35 <Cepheid> Hey, guess what a program performing tasks on a single-work item, running on a GPU is called?
13:35 <Cepheid> It's called a kernel.
13:37 <Schism> You'd think they'd be at least a little more sensible, and call it a pryvate.
13:44 <Schism> Power's going out shortly...
13:45 <Schism> Being sensible, I should just shut down, so I'll see you folks in a couple hours.

13:47 * Cepheid flops back from silence.
13:48 * Cepheid continues reading about the RDNA 2 ISA. Doubts she'll ever be making use of it directly, but eh. It's an interesting read.
13:51 <Cepheid> Interesting way of doing things. The processor works by executing a kernel on groups of 32 or 64 work items at a time. Thus, if you're running a kernel on less than 32 items, you're simply wasting power.
13:56 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-9hn.8e0.219.203.IP)
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> Evening.
13:57 <Cepheid> Anyone who has ever worked on the PS3 and it's Cell Processor would likely find themselves at home with GPU programming.
13:57 <Cepheid> This architecture looks very similar.
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> That explains the arcane wizardry required to properly use the PS3 CPU
13:59 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
14:00 <Cepheid> This is... ungodsly weird.
14:02 <Cepheid> So, first and foremost, work is created. You specify a kernel, and your input, and this is where things get interesting/weird.
14:06 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor
14:06 <Cepheid> From the looks of things, the GPU loads an instruction from the kernel, then using previously-computed information(conditionals, computed values, etc.) creates a "wavefront" of 32 or 64 work items, and has a group of up to 32 or 64 processors all simultaneously execute the same instruction on their respective work item. Or perform a NOP, if that particular work item + instruction was culled due to conditionals.
14:06 <Cepheid> It then moves onto the next instruction, repeating until the kernel is done.
14:10 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if my understanding is entirely correct though, because in some areas, it speaks of a wave as if it was a single instruction. In others, it makes it sound more like it's over a bunch of instructions.
14:10 <Cepheid> I wonder if there is a documentat detailing the architecture itself, rather than just the ISA.
14:12 <Cepheid> ...
14:12 <Cepheid> I can't write today.
14:12 <Cepheid> ... o.O
14:13 <Cepheid> "Due to aggressive instruction prefetching used in some graphics devices, the user must pad all shaders with 64 extra DWORDs(256 bytes) of data past the end of the shader."
14:15 <Cepheid> Heh. A kernel can't be larger than 256 tebibytes in size. PC is 48 bits.
14:15 <RichardMist> there are many minuses in gpu technology, not perfect thing
14:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, GPU programming is a different beast from CPU programming.
14:18 <Cepheid> The biggest difference being the way the graphics card memory and the GPU interact. It's more tightly coupled to start with, and graphics card memory works differently from system memory as well.
14:22 <Cepheid> For someone who decided that she is going to drop out of university due to extreme mental and physical health concerns, I am surprisingly stressed about my classes still.
14:24 <RichardMist> very nice
14:31 <Cepheid> Though today it's less stress and more just... embarassment.
14:31 <Cepheid> The group presentations are being presented and played back to the rest of the class today.
14:31 <Cepheid> aaaaaAAAaaaaAaaAAAAaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaa.... *Cowers in a corner*
14:39 * Finwe hats on Starlight_Glimmer.

14:49 <RichardMist> ehm...
14:50 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm fine.
14:54 <Cepheid> Okay, that's done.
14:57 * RichardMist *looks at hat*
14:57 <RichardMist> hat looks very pretty
15:01 <Cepheid> Man, that second person..
15:02 <Cepheid> Her intonation was impressive, and her pronunciation was flawless.
15:02 <Cepheid> The biggest issue I had was the speed. She's so skilled at speaking the language currently that she was speaking *WAY* too fast for me.

15:52 <Schism> Oh. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll drop by then, once Ajit Pai is not only out of the picture, but in his own set of bonds.
15:52 <RazorSharpFang> I have taken the liberty to convert those naked short calls into covered calls, and then the covered calls into a covered strangle, if you're familiar with options terminology.
15:53 <Schism> Only vaguely.
15:53 <RazorSharpFang> Then I'm not going to mention the larger diagonal spread that these are a subcomponent of.

16:01 <Cepheid> I feel like I just... expended a ton of energy without doing anything.

16:03 <RazorSharpFang> I don't attend a lot of parties as it happens.
16:04 <Cepheid> Man, so many people chose "go to a restaurant" for their skit.
16:05 <RazorSharpFang> Were there any decent options?
16:06 <Cepheid> It was basically "Pick whatever you want."
16:06 <Cepheid> Only three skits were not "go to a restaurant"
16:07 <Cepheid> One was describing a photograph taken during Christmas time. One was "go see a movie, followed by being in a stereotypical Japanese horror scenario" and one was "describing Christmas food and activities in Japan and Canada."
16:09 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm.

16:13 * Cepheid learns about denormal numbers.
16:16 <Cepheid> Essentially, they're numbers that try to fill in the underflow gap that appears in near-zero floating-point normal numbers, in an attempt to resolve some funky issues.
16:18 *** Joins: Razor (RazorSharpF@Pony-u8skb0.tpgi.com.au)
16:19 <Cepheid> Hum. RDNA 2-based GPUs support half-, single- and double-precision floats. Also support different rounding modes(towards zero, towards negative infinity, towards positive infinite, or nearest even). And it can also be configured to allow or discard subnormal numbers.
16:19 <Cepheid> ... There's a freakin' bit flag specific to DirectX 10.
16:20 <Razor> Hrmm, why not just go arbitrary precision at that point?
16:20 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-9hn.8e0.219.203.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
16:20 <Cepheid> Apparently, DX10 treats NaN(Not A Number) differently from everything else. It clamps NaN to 0.
16:20 <Cepheid> Arbitrary-precision in hardware would be difficult, I think.
16:21 <Cepheid> It's a GPU, so it's meant to be fast. Has to be limited to either half-, single- or double-precision in order to implement optimizations and fast hardware ALUs.
16:21 <Cepheid> Arbitrary precision introduces all sorts of complex issues that need to be considered.
16:22 <Cepheid> It can probably be done in hardware, but it'd take many, MANY more cycles than half-, single- or double-precision stuff.
16:22 <Razor> Ah I see. Yeah, a modified fixed-precision makes more sense.
16:22 <Cepheid> It's better to support a small subset of common, expected features.
16:22 <Cepheid> Subnormal numbers, and the different precisions are used in other fields besides graphics programming. Half-precision numbers especially are common in machine learning.
16:23 <Cepheid> Subnormals aren't used in audio processing.
16:24 <Cepheid> And for video processing, the different rounding/clamping modes are of interest for handling saturating arithmetic.
16:25 <Razor> Right now in our PLCs, most of our values are DINT (4-Byte int) or REAL (4-Byte IEEE Float)
16:25 <Cepheid> Mmm.
16:25 <Cepheid> DINT, I'm assuming for double-int?
16:25 <Razor> Yep.
16:25 <Cepheid> That means int by default is 2 bytes, then?
16:25 <Razor> INT is 2-byte and SINT for 1-Byte.
16:26 <Cepheid> SINT being 1 byte is troublesome for me.
16:26 <Razor> This is the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix L70+ CPU Arch.
16:26 <Cepheid> SINT reads as "signed int" to me.
16:26 <Cepheid> Would have been better to just use byte or HINT, "half int"
16:26 <Razor> There... isn't really a notion of signed or unsigned as far as I can tell... ?
16:26 <Razor> It's just... memory really.
16:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know, I know.
16:26 <Cepheid> I'm just saying.
16:27 <Cepheid> The notation reads as something else in my brain due to familiarity with programming languages with the concept of signed and unsigned.
16:27 <Razor> sint_32
16:27 <Cepheid> signed 32-bit integer.
16:27 <Razor> Don't understand why I see int_32_t tho - why the _t ?
16:28 <Cepheid> That's a C/C++ thing.
16:28 <Cepheid> People use _t to mean "type"
16:28 <Cepheid> So int32_t = signed 32-bit integer type
16:28 <Razor> I saw that when I dived into the C code our PLC-communications library was using.
16:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, you'll see it a lot in C.
16:29 <Cepheid> Not as much in C++, but when it comes to the standard library, you will still see it in C++.
16:29 <Cepheid> In C++, the notation for types tends to be a prefix instead, if it's even used at all in a given project.
16:30 <Cepheid> Common prefixes being I for interface, C for class, and S for struct. So ISomeInterface is an interface, CSomeClass is a class, SSomeStruct is a struct, etc.
16:30 <Cepheid> This isn't universal though.
16:30 <Razor> I have seen INotifyPropertyChanged - in C# tho
16:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, that is a thing in C#.
16:31 <Cepheid> I think the same is also done in Java.
16:31 <Razor> Anyhow, gotta sleep. Good night.
16:32 <Cepheid> G'night.

18:21 <ADragonDreaming> petition for government to declare the whole automotive sector non-essential and shut them all down.
18:24 <Cepheid> I wonder if there's a particular reason why I regularly visualize current emotional state in various forms.
18:26 <Cepheid> Currently, my brain is visualizing my mood/temper as a spinning core of a dynamo, currently glowing slightly and crackling with electricity. So, "elevated."
18:27 <Cepheid> The imagery in question is influenced by the music I'm listening to, that much I know. But the reason for visualizing it in the first place is unknown.
18:34 <RichardMist> Music can also affect out brainwaves, so yes this will affect too
18:39 <Cepheid> It's weird. Certain scenarios, certain situations. I close my eyes, and I see it. Some sort of object, often one depicting a source of energy. I am always outside of it. It is often glowing, pulsating, or something of the sort. It is always radiating some amount of heat, and some other visible trait that indicates how much energy it is outputting.
18:39 <Cepheid> Perhaps it is a roter spinning extraordinarily fast. Perhaps it's a star with abnormal brightness, or a surface covered in solar prominences and eruptions.
18:40 <Cepheid> Occasionally, I manage to get a "bigger picture" of sorts, in which I can see the area around it.
18:42 <Cepheid> Usually, when I get this larger picture, it often includes an individual. They have a gaping, black hole in their back, and on occasion, they simply rage and strike at the energy source to no avail. There is some sort of invisible barrier blocking their approach. As they rage and strike at the barrier, flames and intense heat erupt from the black hole, as if the individual was venting built up energy and heat.
18:43 <Cepheid> I wonder if it's something in my brain trying to tell me something. Trying to express something in a visual manner.
18:44 <RichardMist> I also feel this when I am in an extremely calm state and concentrate in my mind
18:44 <RichardMist> Your brain maybe working in another way, way than better than others
18:46 <Cepheid> A common trait that eventually surfaces every time I have these little visualization periods is that I feel hatred. Hatred, a desire to destroy, to take that energy source in my hands, and rip it apart. To crush it, destroy it, erase it from existence.
18:46 <Cepheid> To just grab at it with my hands, pull with all my might, and rip it apart. See it melt, burn, dissipate, whatever.
18:47 <RichardMist> Try to take away other things and concentrating only in this, I sense something infinite sometimes warm and see it
18:48 <RichardMist> Maybe that's a part of your mind that you don't know
18:49 <Cepheid> Given how I start to feel towards it, and how it only ever seems to grow in power output, I'm more inclined to believe it is my brain attempting to give form to the parts of me that I do not want.
18:50 <Cepheid> That is, my temper, my anger, the uncontrollable behaviours I exhibit when under extreme duress.
18:51 <RichardMist> That's something you can't control
18:53 <Cepheid> I don't want to hurt myself. But I have to. This damned thing makes me. It reaches a critical mass, and I have to do whatever I can to slow it down, to cool it down. All I can do it grab onto it, endure the pain from doing so, and vent all that built-up energy in the fastest way possible, at the expense of personal injury. I don't want to know what it'll make me do if I let it grow past that critical mass point. I have
18:53 <Cepheid> to stop it.
18:53 <Cepheid> I'm fine. Breathe. Deep breaths.
18:58 <RichardMist> Is it happening with some negative thing, or it rises slowly by self and negative thing will extremely raise it?
19:03 <RichardMist> Then I understand you completely now

19:30 <RichardMist> Cepheid, are you ok?
19:31 <Cepheid> I'm not calm, but I'm not angry, if that's what you're asking about. I let my thoughts run, and I'm in a mood because of it.
19:31 <Cepheid> That said, I do have an elevated temperature. Normal for me with this thermometer is 97.3 to 97.5, I'm currently 98.3. And for kicks, I took a measurement of my arm, multiple measurements, because it said my forearm was 98.8.
19:32 * Finwe hugs the Ali.
19:36 <RichardMist> Cepheid If letting your thoughts run will help you, then I will listen
19:38 <Cepheid> At the moment, I'm not sure what exactly I want to do. The strongest desire is "just lay here in bed, read, and listen to music."
