01:13 <PinkieShy> My mom just called and said she just spoke with him a few minutes ago and he couldn't speak..
01:14 <PinkieShy> on top of that like 2 days ago my dad said my brother got sent home from work after failing the covid test his job does daily..
01:14 <PinkieShy> I hope and pray he doesn't have covid oh god o_o
01:14 <PinkieShy> I was just around him the other day as well so if he does i'll probably need to get tested..
01:16 <PinkieShy> But again it might not be covid he has as he did go to get tested for covid a day later after the issue at his job and came back negative and was just told him go to back to get tested again in a few days if he starts feeling sick..

05:56 <Cepheid> Heyo.
06:26 <ConfusionRift> Okay guys, listen up! We got a call of a hostage situation with some militia men trying to use innocent people as an example of their norms and practices. We'll be dealing with tight spaces, and very little clue of the status of the hostages or the militia. It's heavily advised to suit up for deterrence, rather than neutralization. | (picks up grenade launcher) | FOR GOD SAKE NO!!!
06:29 <Cepheid> Heh.
06:36 <ConfusionRift> I keep getting curious about the SWAT games, but I know I'm gonna lose my mind with them, especially with the stupid AI.
06:37 <ConfusionRift> Then again, it's usually the case with squad games.
06:37 <ConfusionRift> Not that many issues with Rainbow Six though.
06:38 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and the body damage.
06:39 <Cepheid> Go play the Hitman series instead. At least there, you can equip a grenade launcher and no one bats an eye.
06:39 <Cepheid> Plus, you know, fun ways to kill people.
06:39 * Ali uses grenade launcher, kills self first.
06:42 <ConfusionRift> The worst part is finishing a level and failing it anyways. Goodbye, half an hour.

06:47 <ConfusionRift> Hah, some aggressive marketing. :P
06:47 <Cepheid> They knew what they were doing.
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, you know it.
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Remember, there's no such thing as accidents. :P
06:48 <Cepheid> Unless they're happy accidents.
06:50 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, oh okay, confused it for another truck.
06:50 <Cepheid> Hmm?
06:51 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, a few years ago, someone sued a dealership because their truck appeared in the front lines in Syria, used by insurgents.
06:52 <ConfusionRift> It was another black medium duty truck, hence the confusion.
06:53 <ConfusionRift> Just in case, they knew because it still had their business logo on it.
06:53 <Cepheid> Oh wow.
06:53 <ConfusionRift> What are the odds, huh.
06:55 * Ali flumps under the ConfusionRift
06:55 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali just the same. :P

07:13 <ConfusionRift> Man, it's been a while.

07:14 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, December of last year... but I don't remember playing that recently.
07:15 * ConfusionRift checks tMod Loader.
07:15 <ConfusionRift> July of last year. That makes more sense.
07:15 <ConfusionRift> And I'm afraid to touch that. It's been a while, and I know an update is gonna be just an absolute mess.
07:30 <Ali> Well Terraria is 1.4.1
07:30 <Ali> There's some good things and some ehs
07:31 <Ali> For me right now its that point of hardmode to getting the mech bosses down
07:31 <Ali> And I wanted to try melee
07:31 <Ali> But my lord is that class awful.
07:31 <ConfusionRift> Melee is still a pain. The best melee weapons so far are still the least melee weapons. :P
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Also, solo tanking puts you in a bad spot.
07:33 <Ali> Pretty much
07:33 <Ali> And the weapons that do have range are few and far between
07:33 <Ali> Since the solar eruption is one of the better ones, but its post lunar cultist
07:34 <ConfusionRift> And good luck dealing with that mess. :P Those butts huuuurt.
07:35 <ConfusionRift> And then... the aftermath. The Moonlord is not exactly melee friendly.
07:35 <Ali> Again you can get the solar eruption by going to the awful solar pillar first
07:36 <Ali> But I feel like ranged and summons have a better day at things
07:36 <Ali> But then again ConfusionRift, you haven't seen some of the busted weapons they added in 1.4
07:36 <Ali> Too bad one of them requires you to kill a boss while she's enraged
07:37 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I'm aware of the new weapons. I have played 1.4. :P
07:38 * Ali doesn't remember well..
07:38 <ConfusionRift> I did beat it in Journey, while set to Hard difficulty to compensate. It's still pain, just a bit more mitigated... especially for range. Still need to beat the game legitimately in normal.
07:39 <ConfusionRift> My wall is still Plantera.
07:43 <Ali> I do hate Plantera as the Jungle is just a mess to fight her, along with both finding the bulb and having an arena which sounds like a massive pain to do.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> I'm aware of the Zenith and the Terraprisma. Problem is getting them. One requires higher tier weapons, which require crafting and good luck. And the other you need to kill the bullethell empress.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> During the day.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> Which gives her a stupid damage boost and speed.
07:45 <Ali> She basically one shots you
07:46 <Ali> I've done day empress one time
07:49 <ConfusionRift> I have never found the Lacewing.
07:49 <Ali> Helps to have the rare mob detector item
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Yep, don't have the achievement. I vaguely remember seeing it displayed on the analyzer, but just could never find it.
07:56 <ConfusionRift> Because it's great that the game tells me something is around me, but never tells me exactly where, so chances are I'm moving away from it, causing it to despawn. Huzzaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.
07:57 * Cepheid craves bread and water. A lot of bread and water.
07:58 <ConfusionRift> Well, that's one way to never be hungry. :P

13:51 <RazorSharpFang> Is anyone here good with Maths?
13:52 <Finwe> Well, I'm a mathematician.
13:53 <RazorSharpFang> How does projection like the WGS84 projection work?
13:54 <Finwe> It's just a linear transformation of space.
13:54 <RazorSharpFang> It is just a linear-transformation ? Can you do it through matrix multiplication?
13:55 <Finwe> Yes.
13:55 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor
13:55 <Finwe> Mr Cyan_Spark.
13:55 * Finwe doffs his hat.
13:55 <Cyan_Spark> Sgt. Finwe
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys
13:56 <Finwe> The defining property of any projection P is that P²=P^(-1).
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> That confuzles me.
13:57 <Finwe> The defining property of any projection P is that P²=P.
13:57 <Finwe> Not P^(-1).
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> Is that reprojecting it gives you the original back?
13:58 <Finwe> If you apply the projection several times, it does not alter the image.
14:00 <Finwe> E.g. the Mercator projection projects a sphere onto a cylinder wrapped around it, with the projection rays being orthogonal to the sphere.
14:02 <Finwe> The Mercator projection is often used for e.g. maritime charts because it is direction-preserving.
14:02 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, our use is navigation - hence the mercator.
14:02 <Finwe> It doesn't preserve areas, though.
14:03 <Finwe> The areas far from where the cylinder is tanget to the sphere get scaled up.
14:04 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, I've seen that.
14:07 <Finwe> The holy differential geometry says that you cannot map the sphere onto a planar surface so that the mapping is both conformal and authalic (shape- and area-preserving).
14:08 <RazorSharpFang> In this particular application, there's a projection specification that is supposed to define the mapping of polar coordinates to UTM coordinates, but it's only valid for a small region of the earth.
14:10 <Finwe> Polar? You mean spherical?
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that's the word I couldn't come up with.
14:12 <Finwe> (r,φ,θ) is the spherical coordinate triple, but if we approximate the earth with a sphere, then r is constant and only the angular coordinates vary.
14:14 <Finwe> Universal Transverse Mercator takes a slice of earth's surface small enough and uses Mercator projection there to get reasonable accuracy for areas and shapes.
14:15 <RazorSharpFang> Ah that's what UTM stands for.
14:17 * Finwe nodnods.
14:17 <Finwe> The slices are 6° longitude wide, with some exceptions.
14:18 <Finwe> 31N through 37N are modified.
14:20 * NitroTheFurry reads all this then decides to go back to sleep
14:21 <Finwe> And also 31X, 33X, 35X and 37X.
14:21 <Finwe> And the even X-zones between those are not used.
14:22 <RazorSharpFang> Those are new to me.
14:24 <Finwe> The N-slices are regular up to the U-zones, 31V and 32V are modified to fit Southern Norway into zone 32V.
14:24 <Finwe> Like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#/media/File:LA2-Europe-UTM-zones.png
14:24 <RazorSharpFang> Ah
14:25 <Finwe> The missing X-zones ensure that Svalbard is spread sensibly between the zones.
14:25 <Finwe> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system#/media/File:Modified_UTM_Zones.png
14:25 <Finwe> Like that.
14:26 <Finwe> Without the omission of 32X, 34X and 36X, Svalbard would span six zones.
14:27 <Finwe> Which would be quite a lot for a couple of smallish islands.
14:27 <RazorSharpFang> And this is done primarily to get better area representations?
14:28 <Finwe> Those modifications are done only to fit parts of Norway onto a smaller number of zones.
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> I meant the UTM system itself, instead of just having a Mercator projection.
14:30 <Finwe> Yes, you basically place your cylinder so that it is tangent to the surface of the earth along the midline of the zone.
14:31 <Finwe> Or the slice, actually.
14:31 <Finwe> The latitude bands are strictly speaking not a part of the UTM system.
14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Must be annoying to have things that cross those.
14:32 <Finwe> They come from MGRS, the Military Gid Reference System.
14:32 <RazorSharpFang> The military invents like, half of things.
14:34 <Finwe> The grid zone designator identifies a UTM zone and a latitude band, so you know which 6° x 8° zone we're speaking of.
14:35 <Finwe> I live in 32W, for example.
14:35 <Finwe> 35W, not 32.
14:37 <Finwe> The next two letters, if given, define the 100 km x 100 km square within the zone.
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, so you define a smaller subregion too
14:38 <Finwe> And then you can give x and y coordinates up to 1 m precision.
14:39 <RazorSharpFang> More precision is always better, right?
14:40 <Finwe> E.g. 35WFJ 12345 67890.
14:40 <Finwe> Would be zone 35W square FJ 12345 metres east and 67890 metres north from the lower left corner.
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm, we're running at higher precision than that - is there a variant where you specify sub-metre precision?
14:42 <Finwe> I guess you could generalise by adding more numbers.
14:43 <Finwe> It's just not very useful for example with GPS, where one metre is about the best precision you get.
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> We're running dedicated multi-antenna recievers and are receiving real-time corrections from base-stations.
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> I'm just struggling on how to do the maths to go from Degrees, minutes, seconds to UTM northing and easting.
14:47 <Finwe> It should be easy.
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> But is it equally easy to write programming code to do it?
14:49 <Finwe> Northings are commensurate with degrees latitude, but the distance between meridians is a function of latitude.
14:51 <Finwe> 1° longitude is 1/360 times the circumference of earth at the equator and zero at poles, and the scaling should be linear.
14:55 <Finwe> So two points with a difference of 1° of longitude on the same latitude are (90-L)/90 x C/360 units of length apart from each other, where C is the circumference of earth and L is the latitude in degrees.
14:55 <Finwe> Either that, or I've done something fundamentally wrong. o3o
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> They sometimes introduce weird things, like they have "north" being 1 degree away from north to make the map "look straight"
14:57 <Finwe> Maps over coastal towns were traditionally drawn with the sea being downwards on the map, regardless of whether it was south or not.

15:02 <Finwe> One degree of latitude is, of course, always 1/360th of the circumference of earth, but that should be obvious.
15:03 <RazorSharpFang> Naturally.

16:32 <LibrarianofHope> havent seen a pure pony nick in a while
16:33 <Fluttershy> How is everyone! It's been a while sense I was on last. Before today.
16:33 <RazorSharpFang> I am profitable.
16:33 <LibrarianofHope> im better, i overcame covid and am working on the muscle pain
16:33 <Fluttershy> My mom overcame covid.
16:34 <LibrarianofHope> owo
16:34 <LibrarianofHope> thtas great
16:35 <Fluttershy> Yea, she didn't tell me until she was over it. At the time, I thought it was the flu.
16:35 <RazorSharpFang> "'Tis just a flu"
16:35 <LibrarianofHope> it can be a very bad flu in the best case
16:35 <LibrarianofHope> i had very small symptoms
16:36 <LibrarianofHope> but i was stuffef to the gills with medicine
16:36 <Fluttershy> Yup. Just a VERY bad flu. and it doesnt help the hospital put them in tents.
16:37 <LibrarianofHope> it will stop, the vaccines are being applied
16:38 <LibrarianofHope> my current problem is i am in quarantinre, dont move much

16:38 <LibrarianofHope> it hurts like a bleeep
16:38 <RazorSharpFang> You can still do stuff like squats, dances and whatnot.
16:38 <Fluttershy> The hospital should let the go OUTSIDE in stead of keeping them in tents!
16:39 <LibrarianofHope> nope, cause we are contagious
16:39 <LibrarianofHope> i for example really want to go walk my dog

19:53 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:53 <Cepheid> Vulkan is... interesting.
19:53 <Cepheid> Much harder to use, but if used right, it performs better than OpenGL.
19:55 <Finwe> Despite the rather ancient GPU I get over 3000 FPS in 800x600 windowed mode for some of the benchmarks.
19:55 <Finwe> In 1900x1200 fullscreen mode the figures are understandably substantially lower.

20:04 <Cepheid> Finwe, depending on the memory, I would assume performance to be approximately 1/4th.
20:04 <Cepheid> If the memory capacity/speed isn't good enough for 1900x1200, then yeah I could see it being even lower.
20:05 <Fluttershy> Like always, I never know what Cephid talks about.
20:05 <Finwe> My GPU is a GTX 645 with one gigabyte of GDDR5 memory.
20:06 <Fluttershy> oops. I acidentally spelled it wrong. again.
20:06 <Cepheid> Well, memory capacity appears to be fine. So speed would be the issue, then.
20:07 <Cepheid> Fluttershy: Finwe's doing some Vulkan API tests on an ancient computer. He was commenting on the performance, and I was commenting on how things might differ at a higher resolution.
20:07 <Fluttershy> Oh.
20:07 <Cepheid> That said, I'm being optimistic about it being 1/4th the performance at doubling the resolution. It's probably even lower.
20:08 <Cepheid> What's the framerate at 1900x1200, Finwe?
20:08 <Fluttershy> I still have no clue what it means. Hand me a dictionary.
20:08 <Cepheid> What words are confusing you?
20:09 <Fluttershy> No. I'm only a 4th grader.
20:09 <Finwe> Cepheid: Varies from 1.661 ms/frame for effect2d kernel=blur to 0.688 s/frame for cube.
20:09 <Cepheid> I can still try to explain.
20:10 <Fluttershy> please do.
20:10 <Cepheid> So 602 FPS for the first test, and... 1,453 FPS for the cube.
20:10 <Cepheid> Well, I guess it depends on how much of the screen is being touched, too.
20:11 <Finwe> 0.688 was also milliseconds, as you correctly guessed.
20:11 <Cepheid> Fluttershy: Vulkan - A technology used for drawing 3D stuff in video games. API - Stands for Application Programming Interface, it's what people like me work with to use the specified technology.
20:12 <Cepheid> Framerate - How many "frames" are shown per second. A frame is a single drawn image on the screen.
20:12 <Fluttershy> I know what a milisecond is.
20:12 <Cepheid> He was speaking to me in that case. o3o
20:12 <Cepheid> He wrote down s/frame when he meant ms/frame.
20:13 <Fluttershy> a fraction of a second is a millisecond.
20:13 <Cepheid> Eeeehhh... That's a simplified, and incorrect way of expressing it.
20:13 <Cepheid> It's 1/1000th of a second.
20:13 <Cepheid> If you go to to higher resolution than that, the names start to change. Microseconds, Nanoseconds, Picoseconds, etc.
20:14 <Cepheid> Finwe, I have a question for you with respect to the naming of fractional seconds.
20:14 <Finwe> o3o?
20:15 <Cepheid> I sometimes see people express a millisecond as 1/100th of a second. Any idea why they would do that?
20:15 <Finwe> Those would be centiseconds, but no one really uses that.
20:16 <Cepheid> I also sometimes see milliseconds expressed as 1/10th.
20:16 <Cepheid> It's inconsistent.
20:16 <Fluttershy> a millisecond must be 1/1000th of a second?
20:16 <Cepheid> I've always understood milliseconds to be 1/1000th of a second.
20:16 <Cepheid> As that's how it is consistently expressed in programming.
20:16 <Finwe> "Milli" is consistently 10^(-3).
20:17 <Finwe> Any other use is clearly erroneous.
20:17 <Cepheid> So then I wonder where the inconsistency stems from.
20:17 <Cepheid> I'm assuming just simple misunderstanding.
20:17 <Fluttershy> If it has mass, it cant go faster the the speed of light. If it has no mass, it can travel FASTER than the speed of light.
20:18 <Cepheid> But yeah, in computing, frametimes are usually expressed in milliseconds.
20:19 <Cepheid> Which are 1/1000th of a second.
20:19 <Finwe> Fluttershy: Depends on what "it" is.
20:19 <Cepheid> I suspect that'll change as refresh rates continue to increase.
20:19 <Finwe> In the current standard model + general relativity, no particle can exceed the speed of light.
20:19 <Finwe> Information can, though.
20:19 <Cepheid> Because as they increase, we get closer and closer to a frame taking 1/1000th of a second. After which we have to start counting either in fractions of a millisecond, which seems to be what we're doing NOW, or..
20:20 <Cepheid> I'm still of the belief that our understanding that light is the fastest thing in existence is somehow wrong.
20:20 <Cepheid> It seems such an arbitrary limit.
20:21 <Finwe> It's rather a property of the four-dimensional space-time than a speed limit.
20:22 <Cepheid> Mmm.

20:25 <Cepheid> My understanding of astrophysics is pretty bleh. But I do have a question regarding the speed of light and Hawking radiation. Presuming that not even light can escape the event horizon of a black hole, wouldn't a particle escaping the grasp of a black hole mean that it's moving faster than the speed of light?

20:29 <Cepheid> I'm assuming that's wrong, though, because of my lack of understanding of physics.
20:29 *** Joins: caleb (caleb@Pony-6rhgtp.tn.comcast.net)
20:31 <Finwe> Cepheid: I think that would mean that the particle in question has, in some sense, negative mass.
20:32 <Cepheid> Which is probable, given we're not exactly SURE what causes mass in the first place.

20:36 <Cepheid> In any case, it's outside my area of expertise. And while I plan to replicate physics in my games, I plan to use approximations of it. Since I can't do continuous integration physics with discrete timesteps.
20:36 <Cepheid> Also, limitations of mathematics in general.
20:37 <Fluttershy> If something has NO MASS WHAT SO EVER it CAN go faster than light.
20:38 <Fluttershy> It has been proven by science.
20:38 * Cepheid shrugs.
20:38 <Finwe> A photon has zero rest mass, yet it cannot go faster than light (as photons are light).
20:39 <Fluttershy> And light can't go faster than itself.
20:39 <Finwe> But it is true that we've been able to transfer information at speeds faster than lightspeed.

20:40 <Fluttershy> so, Finwe
20:40 <Fluttershy> Finwe
20:40 <Fluttershy> Finwe and Cephied: light can not go faster than itself.
20:40 <Cepheid> And doing so doesn't necessarily mean time travel. It just means shorter traversal time. As it is, data transmission at the speed of light still results in significant amounts of latency.
20:40 <Fluttershy> light has mass.
20:41 <Fluttershy> drop it.

20:50 <Fluttershy> uh oh...
20:50 <Cepheid> Fluttershy is having a childish temper tantrum over a discussion about the speed of light.
20:50 <Cepheid> And harassed me about it in private and here.
20:50 <Ali> Yeah, don't do that
20:50 <Cepheid> And in another channel.
20:50 <Cepheid> So they're being a prick.
20:51 <Cepheid> It's fine.
20:51 <Cepheid> I just wish they'd stop pinging me about it.
20:51 <Ali> That I cannot stop sadly
20:51 <Cepheid> Mmm.
20:51 <Cepheid> I'll just add them to ignore if they keep doing it.
20:51 <Cepheid> I'd prefer not to, because that's a mean way to handle it, but..
20:52 <Fluttershy> What? I was ticked off with the way he was talking about physics!
20:52 <Ali> There's discussions
20:52 <Ali> Then there's crying
20:52 <Cepheid> We were discussing the speed of light in a civil manner, and you just up and started screaming at us and telling us to drop it as if we were practically attacking your god or goddess.

20:55 <Cepheid> Yeah, changing your nickname doesn't help.

21:07 <Cepheid> They remind me of when I first started using IRC.
21:08 <Cepheid> I was a kid at the time, and didn't understand how it worked, and learned a lot the hard way.

21:10 <Ali> If they think the hot water on them is down, its not
21:10 <Ali> and doing the spam chat of in out just irks me more and more
21:10 <Cepheid> Meh.
21:10 <Cepheid> I was more annoyed by the demanding tone.
21:11 <Cepheid> It's like... we're just discussing the speed of light and physics. Why are you demanding we stop the topic as if it were something controversial, like politics or religion?
21:11 <Ali> I'm more annoyed they're using a nick of someone I miss and are using it just to annoy
21:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, unfortunately I cannot get any information as to who DashedRainbows was, at one point. The nickname registration expired, and /whowas isn't returning anything.
21:12 <Ali> I used logs to dig things
21:12 <Ali> Like I said already, they had a custom hostmask
21:12 <Cepheid> But it's most likely not them, as I don't remember a DashedRainbows ever throwing a tantrum like that.

21:13 <Cepheid> So, Schism, you were right about MH:Rise on PC.
21:14 <Cepheid> Which presents a conundrum.
21:15 <Cepheid> Basically, do I grab Rise this month and play it, or do I wait until 2022 to play it?
21:15 <Ali> So why is Rise going to be so late on PC?
21:16 <Cepheid> Exclusivity.
21:16 <Cepheid> What else?
21:16 <Ali> Switch won the one year deal huh?
21:17 <Cepheid> More or less.
21:17 <Cepheid> That, and Rise was intended to be portable to begin with I think.
21:19 <Cepheid> Here's hoping Capcom implements a character transfer system.
21:19 <Cepheid> Because I guarantee once the PC version comes out, there'll be an exodus to it.
21:19 <Cepheid> That, or cross-platform play.
