03:57 * Ali flops over the Schism and noms ear
03:58 <Nedemai> :O
03:59 * Schism boops the Ali with some sushi. Not spicy! Just rice and fish and asparagus. (And the fish is cooked.)
04:00 <PinkieShy> I'm getting sleepy..
04:00 * Ali burps, has had her own food alreadies, but poofs food away for laters.
04:00 <PinkieShy> Fireball whiskey made me tired..
04:01 <PinkieShy> That was so sweet and burned my throat a bit. xD
04:01 <PinkieShy> I'm probably going to get sleep a few hours earlier than i normally do..
04:01 <PinkieShy> Not right now sleep but in about 2 more hours
04:05 * Ali dun't drink.
04:05 <Schism> Fireball ish a sweet drink more than a spicy one.
04:06 * Schism wraps salmon in bacon.
04:07 <PinkieShy> I'm not really a drinker either Ali.. I been wanting to try something like fireball for a while tho
04:08 <Ali> I just fear taking such a risk and having to deal with a double addiction

07:47 * Ali nuu's, she was supposed to win this
07:48 <Finwe> Sir Terry indeed told what handmaidens are for, about 170 pages into the book.
07:49 * ConfusionRift boops Ali with a snowball. :P

08:05 <Finwe> uni: It indeed can, although it is not advisable.
08:12 * uni tourist-cameras around the snowball
08:14 <Finwe> I guess you could melt and boil it, and then recrystallise back into snow.
08:14 <Finwe> Then it would be safe to eat.
08:16 <Finwe> Hmm, we also learn that the greatest mathematician on Discworld is actually a camel called You Bastard.
08:36 <uni> hehe
08:36 <uni> that reminds me I should go get the next book in the series
08:55 <Finwe> Which one would that be?
08:55 <Finwe> I'm reading them a secont time, in chronological order.
08:58 <uni> I've only read like four books
08:58 <uni> so for me it'll be Wyrd Sisters
09:02 <Finwe> Oh, Pyramids is the fifth one, so you're lagging me by one book.
09:02 <Finwe> No, the seventh.
09:04 <Finwe> The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Mort, Sourcery, Wyrd Sisters, Pyramids, Guards! Guards!, Eric, Moving Pictures, Reaper Man and Witches Abroad are the first dozen.
09:06 <uni> oops that means I've read 5!

09:25 <Schism> Suppose so.
09:26 <Cepheid> There are tools one can use to automate the building of things. And definitely tools to downsample images to sixteen colours.
09:26 * Schism also blehs. "Game. Could you please start dropping pins OTHER than mere cash drops?"
09:26 * Schism knows that it won't really start dropping the interesting ones until the Noise start becoming more dangerous, but even so.
09:26 <ConfusionRift> I believe there's a mod or plugin that does that. HOWEVER, I have see people make these from scratch. Just like those who made full HD pictures on Excel.
09:27 * Schism also picks up a truck and starts throwing it around, combined with attacks by Shiki.
09:27 <Cepheid> True.

09:54 <Cepheid> You know, I like how people clip videos of vtubers and label said clips "Oh no, X showed Y by accident." Yes. By accident. And totally not intentionally to draw viewers.
09:54 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, have been seeing those a lot.
09:56 <ConfusionRift> "Oh nooo, I did NOT meant to show that on stream in from of millions of viewers!" | Girl... that cursor doesn't lie. That was the slowest, most intentional, obvious movement I have ever seen.
09:57 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:59 <Cepheid> Strangely, Youtube likes to show me a lot of such clips from Nyanners, even though I don't watch her channel or anything of the sort.
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Same. Might be due to... I forget her name. It's because they're all VTubers linked to clips on similar channels.
10:01 <Cepheid> Mmmhmm.
10:01 <Cepheid> I find it interesting that people are shocked at what she does, though. The clips suggest that she's a bit of a troll.
10:02 <Cepheid> And a foul-mouthed one at that.
10:05 <Cepheid> Okay okay, time to get this school crap over and done with, what do they want now?
10:05 <Cepheid> Testing for e-proctoring, and...
10:05 <Cepheid> They want to know why I withdrew from the other course.
10:06 <Cepheid> Ah, they just want an updated end date period form from me, because droppin- God forking dangit, I should have just failed the course.

10:27 <Cepheid> Finwe: Correct me if I'm wrong, but a 3-dimensional cube is considered a hypercube?
10:31 <Finwe> Hypercube is usually the 4-dimensional version.
10:31 <Finwe> Or higher.
10:31 <Cepheid> Yeah, I was thinking that myself.
10:32 <Cepheid> It's just, this documentation I'm reading describes a hypercube layout, but all artist depictions of said layout are of regular cubes, not tesseracts or higher.
10:33 <Cepheid> Oh, I see why.
10:33 <Finwe> In wider sense, an n-dimensional hypercube allows n to be any natural number.
10:33 <Cepheid> They just don't bother to demonstrate higher dimensional cases.
10:33 <Cepheid> If there were 2^4 processors involved, then yeah, it'd start to look like a hypercube.
10:33 <Finwe> So a single point is a 0-dimensional hypercube.
10:34 <Cepheid> As each processor would then be connected to four other processors.
10:34 <Finwe> A line segment 1D, a square 2D, and ordinary cube 3D.
10:34 <Cepheid> The resulting shape would look like a hypercube.
10:34 <Cepheid> Mmm, that explains it, Finwe.
10:36 <Finwe> Etymologically, hyper means above, so that's why it's usually used for dimensions higher than that of the ordinary cube.
10:36 <Cepheid> Mmm.
10:36 <Cepheid> In this case, I think they're just describing 0/1/2/3D cases as hypercube cases to separate them from the mesh cases.
10:37 <Finwe> 4D hypercube can still be modelled as a 3D structure.
10:38 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
10:38 <Cepheid> Interestingly, this particular case doesn't just stop at 4D.
10:38 <Cepheid> It basically describes the layout and connections of a system with 2^N processors.
10:38 <Finwe> Oh, a 4D hypercube is called "tesseract".
10:38 <Finwe> I didn't know that.
10:38 <Cepheid> The dimensionality just describes how many connections there are from each processor.
10:39 <Cepheid> So 1D, there's only one other processor connected. 2D, 2 processors. 3D, 3 processors, and so on, and so on.
10:39 <Cepheid> The end-result is what basically looks like an N-D hypercube.
10:40 <Cepheid> It's just, for reasons unknown, every depiction I've seen of such setups has always been 3D at most.
10:40 <Cepheid> So they just show a regular cube, which didn't fall into my definition of hypercube.
10:41 <Finwe> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Schlegel_wireframe_8-cell.png
10:41 <Cepheid> I know what a hypercube looks like.
10:41 <Finwe> Do you?
10:41 <Cepheid> I was just asking if 0, 1, 2, and 3-dimensional cubes qualified as hypercubes.
10:41 <Finwe> That's just a projection into 3-dimensional space.
10:42 <Cepheid> I know what a 3-dimensional hypercube looks like, does that satisfy your curiousity a bit better?
10:42 <Finwe> I suspects no one really knows what four-dimensional objects would actually look like.
10:42 <Cepheid> Wonder what a 5-dimensional hypercube projected into 3D looks like.
10:43 <Cepheid> Ah.
10:43 <Finwe> Umm, take two of those wireframes and connect all the corresponding verices.
10:43 <Cepheid> Yep.
10:44 <Finwe> But then you cannot avoid the faces intersecting anymore.
10:45 <Finwe> For some more pathological topologies, projecting into any space with strictly smaller dimension requires self-intersections.
10:45 <Finwe> Like the Klein bottle.
10:46 <Finwe> It's immersible in R^3, but the boundary will itersect itself along a closed curve.
10:47 <Cepheid> You know, sometimes I wonder what kind of people you talk to outside of IRC, because you seem to talk about this stuff as if it is naturally understood by the people around you. :P

10:52 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, when it comes to mathematics, wikipedia is the worst. It's quite descriptive and very in-depth, I won't lie.
10:52 <Cepheid> But you need a degree in mathematics to understand any of it.
10:53 <RazorSharpFang> Wikipedia prides itself in ensuring that it does not contain any instructional material.
10:53 <Finwe> But as we're discussing compact manifolds, embedding and immersion are the same.
10:54 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Like I said, it's understandable provided you have a degree in the relevant field. My argument for this is anything relating to computers is easy for me to understand on it.
10:54 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, someone with little to no experience with computers or computer science would have a hard time reading the stuff I read.

10:57 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: The simplicity of Wikipedia-Simple is disputable.
10:57 <RazorSharpFang> Well, it tries at least.
10:58 <Cepheid> That said, there are times even when wikipedia overdoes it with the explanations and examples in my field, presenting unreadable garbage.
10:58 <Cepheid> Pseudocode is particularly vulnerable to this.

10:59 <Cepheid> And because it's meant to be written using natural languages instead of programming languages, it can be written by anyone.
10:59 <Cepheid> INCLUDING people who have absolutely no programming experience.
11:00 <Cepheid> Like this samplesort I'm reviewing.
11:00 <Cepheid> Wikipedia' entry on it mixes the psuedocode with statistics and set theory.
11:00 <Cepheid> This was obviously written by a mathematician rather than a programmer.
11:04 <Finwe> To make it short, if you can map a manifold into another so that it has similar local properties, it's an immersion, but an embedding requires similar global properties.
11:05 <Finwe> For Klein bottle, the mapping into three-dimensional Euclidean space has a self-intersection, which means that it is not an embedding, as there is no self-intersection in the original four-dimensional manifold.
11:07 <Finwe> For some cases, both exist, like transforming a circle in a plane.
11:08 <Finwe> You can test this with a rubber band on a table.
11:10 <Cepheid> I'm curious Finwe. Do you ever get frustrated with people not understanding your math talk? Legitimate question, not trying to belittle you or anything. It's just something I'm curious about.
11:12 <Finwe> I can't remember getting frustrated.
11:14 <Cepheid> Mmm. Same here, sort of. My parents like to go "*Whoosh!*" and do a hand motion over there head. They as a result tend not to take any interest in what I'm doing other than knowing that I'm doing it.
11:15 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2271 [ https://tinyurl.com/yzeg86b3 ]
11:17 <Finwe> I spent an autumn teaching mathematics and physics to highschool students a couple of years ago; some of them only taking the obligatory course were somewhat frustrating.
11:18 <Finwe> Mostly by not paying attention to the essential things.
11:19 <Cepheid> You'd probably dislike me as a student.
11:19 <Cepheid> I have a biased tendency to... just do my own thing. Usually related to the topic at hand.
11:19 <Finwe> "Alright, what we're going to do next is this: …" "What are we supposed to do?" "Well, I kind of told you 30 seconds ago, maybe you should have been paying more attention."
11:20 <Cepheid> You start talking about gaussian elimination, I'll go off and start playing around with it at my own speed, which may be slower or faster than you teach it.
11:20 <Cepheid> Admittedly this year I haven't been doing much of that. Part of it is the work-from-home stuff.
11:20 <Cepheid> I prefer being in a classroom when I study.
11:20 <Cepheid> Or at least on a campus.
11:22 <RazorSharpFang> On a waterless planet we can't even make rocket fuel out of electricity and copper.
11:22 <Cepheid> I am not a good student, and I am not as smart as I like to think I am.
11:24 <Cepheid> I think I just need to find a stream or something to focus on, instead of general computer science.
11:26 <Finwe> I don't like the Zoom lectures either.
11:26 <Finwe> I'd rather interact with people present in the same room.
11:27 <Cepheid> Typically, what I do is I sit in the front row, usually in a gremlin position because of my height, and toy around on my laptop with whatever we're talking about.
11:27 <Cepheid> It's nice to listen to a professor lecture and talk, but I function better by taking what the professor is discussing and experimenting with it.
11:28 <Finwe> If I have my laptop with me, I usually also read some extra material related to the topic.
11:30 <Finwe> The main philosophical difference between a cube and a Klein bottle is that even though it is possible to think outside the box, it is not possible to think outside the Klein bottle.
11:30 <Cepheid> There's that, yes.
11:30 <Cepheid> I also sometimes read material related to the subject at hand.
11:30 <Cepheid> Particularly, material that hasn't been covered yet, because I need it for an experiment.
11:33 <Cepheid> While it makes sense for certain values of n and p, seeing "n/p > p" looks weird.

11:46 * Lumindia squeaks

11:46 <Cepheid> Man I am not ready for this exam, and I won't be. Part of the problem is that all the material is taught as lectures, and the last month I've been unable to attend the lectures either because headaches, or I'm asleep due to borked sleep cycle.
11:47 <Cepheid> Of course, that's just an excuse. There's lecture recordings I could have watched, but didn't because I'm lazy and a terrible student.
11:50 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder if it's worth it to drop a shipment of cryonite to a planet so they have water to make rocket fuel out of
11:50 <RazorSharpFang> I meant cryonite slush

11:57 <Cepheid> I wish I knew why I slacked off so much with university work. I can only assume it's because I've biased myself against the university. Therefore, I don't want to do work for the university, even if it benefits me.
12:01 <Cepheid> I'm not stupid. At least, I don't think I am. I'm good at what I do, because I work at it intensely and I'm always learning something relating to it. I spend so much time studying random topics. But, I feel like I'm garbage.
12:06 <Cepheid> ... Huh.
12:07 <Cepheid> A US university has been implicated in submitting patches to the Linux kernel that intentionally add use-after-free bugs to the kernel.
12:07 <Cepheid> And then creating fake fixes which do nothing.
12:08 <Cepheid> It was an attempt to prove the insecurity of open-source software.
12:09 <RazorSharpFang> Did the patches actually get added?
12:10 <Cepheid> I have no idea. I'd have to read the paper, but it sounds like, from the response of one of the kernel devs, that they did not get added.
12:10 <Cepheid> But the point is that the university was attempting to submit bad-faith patches intentionally to try and prove a point, so the end-result is that patches can no longer be trusted from the university.
12:11 <Cepheid> Which means, the university has been banned from contributing to the Linux kernel.
12:11 <Cepheid> Actually it looks like the patches WERE indeed accepted, and have to be reverted.
12:13 <RazorSharpFang> I've got 3 fusion reactors equipped and I'm still finding myself out of power for my portable roboport
12:14 <Cepheid> We need the more powerful reactors for those to be viable.

14:54 <Cepheid> Man, I do not like this CoMaS software. Records way too much from my PC.
15:00 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know what that is
15:07 <Cepheid> It's software that records my camera, takes screencaps of all open windows on my desktop, including the desktop itself, and also records the name of each application that's open, and all sorts of other stuff.
15:07 <Schism> CoMaS is an e-proctoring software which is meant to preclude cheating.
15:07 <Cepheid> Yeah, except it's invasive as all ****.
15:08 <Schism> Isn't that what I just said?
15:08 <Cepheid> Yep.
15:08 <Schism> Ah, for those halcyon days of GameGuard.
15:08 <Cepheid> Honestly I don't want to use it.
15:08 <Cepheid> But if I don't, I fail the last remaining course right off the bat because there's no other way to do the exam.
15:08 <Schism> Honestly? If I were to take classes online, I'd get a separate junk laptop just for that nonsense.
15:09 <Cepheid> So I'm just gonna be vitriolic as all hell. They're gonna get screenshots alright, but those screenshots are going to include pictures of my vitriol.
15:09 <Schism> Heh.
15:09 <Cepheid> Most of them reading "Carleton University can go [REDACTED] itself." and "The university can just burn in flames already."

15:10 <Cepheid> I'll be polite at first though. There's a tech support meeting at noon today.
15:10 <Cepheid> I'm going to ask if there's any way I can get around using CoMaS.
15:10 <Schism> CoMaS was developed in-house, which means it's entirely possible that you can throw a brick at the person responsible.
15:10 <Cepheid> If they say no, then... Whelp. Either vitriol, or I'm just straight up done.
15:10 <RazorSharpFang> Which OS does CoMaS require?
15:10 <Cepheid> Windows, Mac, Linux, it works on all 3.
15:10 <Schism> works.
15:10 <RazorSharpFang> Huh. Dev team must have worked really hard on that.
15:11 <Cepheid> I'm surprised the dev team didn't say anything.
15:11 <Cepheid> I guess they don't teach ethics to their software development students at all.
15:11 <Cepheid> And trust me, it was students who wrote this, most likely.
15:12 * Schism wonders if Cepheid heard word one about the students' petition calling for the university to not use that.
15:12 <Cepheid> The university would never pay top dollar for professional software.
15:12 <Cepheid> Nope.
15:12 <Cepheid> That's the first I've heard of it.
15:12 <RazorSharpFang> What if you ran CoMaS in a virtual machine
15:12 <Cepheid> Still need to present a webcamera to it.

15:16 <RazorSharpFang> You wantsies, can you havesies?
15:17 <Schism> Oh, I have all of that, there's no question.
15:17 <RazorSharpFang> My cup of rice was less filling than I was hoping for.
15:17 <Schism> Well, save for the black pudding...
15:17 * Schism only rarely goes full ham when it comes to breakfast.
15:18 <Cepheid> Razor, if you don't have a webcam or device to record from, you're boned.
15:18 <Cepheid> You absolutely need one.
15:18 <Cepheid> I'm on the wall about this. On one hand, I should try to pass the course. On the other hand?
15:18 <Cepheid> I don't want to give the university authorization to all the information it's asking for.
15:19 <RazorSharpFang> What if you "gave" it a emulated device that's really blurry
15:19 <Cepheid> Won't work.
15:19 <Cepheid> Has to be a clear visual of you.
15:20 <Cepheid> Let's see, full list of things recorded...
15:21 <Cepheid> Random screenshots of the desktop, local copy plus uploaded to remote "secure" server. Monitors the CoMaS application directory for changes. Whether you lose internet connection or not. Whether or not you have any of a wide array of documents open, the filesystem path to them, the application that has opened and/or modified them, so it tracks file modifications too.
15:22 <Cepheid> It proclaims not to look at any files not open.
15:22 <Cepheid> It proclaims to not record the contents of any files on my drive, except for the files in the CoMaS application directory.
15:23 <Cepheid> Proclaims to not record any browser history, cache, or cookies. Except it lists common HTTP document types as ones it'll monitor, so...
15:23 <Cepheid> Proclaims not to look at network traffic, and doesn't probe devices on the network. I can probably confirm that myself to be honest.
15:24 <Cepheid> Proclaims it doesn't record what applications I have installed. Though it'll record applications that have opened/modified a file, but not the contents, etc.

15:34 * Schism mutters, "What Canada should be doing is making their ISPs public utilities."
15:34 <Cepheid> Heard about that, yeah.
15:35 <Schism> And first person to say 'but private utilities drive innovation!' gets a router up the tailpipe.
15:35 <RazorSharpFang> To be frank I don't see much innovation in utilities in general.
15:35 <Schism> Indeed.

15:58 <Cepheid> Besides the **** above, there's clearly something wrong with me and the university that it's pushing my limits.
15:58 <Cepheid> I just had a meltdown, subdued compared to usual thanks to meds, but yeah.
15:59 * Schism mmfs. "At this stage of affairs..."
15:59 <Cepheid> There is something between me and the university, something unknowable, that makes it increasingly frustrating to deal with it.
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> You can tell how messed up the system is.
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> Happy Midnight from Australia
16:00 <Schism> Looking at the Charlatan, you don't appear alone in your opinions.
16:01 <Cepheid> It's not just this.
16:01 <Cepheid> It's... every semester, something about the university gets under my skin.
16:01 <Cepheid> And then just sort of starts crawling, biting, agitating me non-stop.
16:01 <Cepheid> Until I have a meltdown and injure myself.
16:01 <Cepheid> The only difference these last two semesters is that the University didn't send me directly to a hospital.
16:03 <Cepheid> I should not be getting thoughts along the lines of "I want to see the university burn down with everyone in it."
16:03 <Cepheid> That level of vitriol indicates a severe problem between me and the University.
16:08 <Cepheid> You know...
16:08 <Cepheid> Off topic to all this.
16:08 <Cepheid> But I have to wonder, I wonder if Square-Enix is aware of 8-Bit Theatre, and possibly takes influence from it.
16:09 <Schism> Heh, sometimes, one does have to wonder about that... I'm sure they know the strip, but whether they've done anything with regards to that...
16:09 * Schism talks to an NPC in an FF1 remake who simply says "I Like Swords".
16:10 <Cepheid> There has to be at least references to it.
16:10 * Schism passes Cepheid a datasphere. Which looks like a cube.
16:11 * Cepheid turns it into a hypercube.
16:12 <Schism> "We're standing in a summoning circle. Which is actually a square, don't ask."
16:12 <Finwe> Cyberhype.
16:12 <Finwe> Hybercube schmybercube.
16:13 <Cepheid> Apparently, the entirety of 8-Bit Theatre is going to be printed... in text.
16:13 <Cepheid> No images, since of course, they can't print the sprites, as they belong to Square-Enix.
16:13 <Cepheid> So the script of the entire series is basically going to be carefully laid out and printed in a book.
16:13 <Schism> Hmm. Well, there are comparatively few gags which rely entirely upon visuals.
16:14 <Cepheid> And you can just add drawings for the ones that do rely on it.

16:49 <Cepheid> Ah.
16:49 <Schism> With NEO coming out in a month or two, I figured I'd finally actually pay for the game, as I did beat it before on a pirated copy, and I was jonesing for a bit of that again.
16:51 <Schism> Tis very different without the two-screen bit, though.
16:52 <Cepheid> Mmhmm. How do they hand it? Splitscreen?
16:53 <Schism> Nope. There's two modes, touchscreen and joycon. Touchscreen mode, you can activate your partner's abilities by tapping the pin or tapping repeatedly on an enemy (which sometimes results in multiple pins activating at once).
16:53 <Schism> Joycon mode, you can either do the same, or a second player can handle the partner.
16:54 <Cepheid> Mmm.
16:57 <Cepheid> I wound have imagined a setup where you rotate the switch 90 degrees, then render 2 subscreens on one screen.
16:57 <Schism> That'd probably work better with games like EO. Still, as this is a report of a port to iOS and other such devices...
16:59 <Cepheid> Interestingly for EO, that would work yes. But it isn't ideal. Depends on touch sensitivity with stylus.
16:59 <Cepheid> A better setup would utilize keyboard and mouse control. Especially for tv mode.
17:00 <Cepheid> Can be done with joycons, but harder.

21:08 <Ali> Schism, sadly that happens more often in my state than Ohio
21:08 <Schism> Ali: Woke up to a nice half-centimeter of snow this morning.
21:09 <Ali> There was a light dusting stuck to the ground here
21:09 <Schism> I used to live in Ohio and it did happen there, but stiiiiiill.
21:09 <Ali> Then it sleeted this afternoon
21:09 <Ali> And now its sunny
21:09 <Schism> And in Texas, there would also be hail.
21:09 <Ali> I remember as a kid
21:09 <Ali> That it rained, sleeted, and snowed in a matter of an hour. During an outdoor field trip none the less.

21:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:36 <LibrarianofHope> two guys walk into a bar, second one ducks
21:36 <Schism> They were wondering whether to charge him with accounting crimes -- not many violent criminals make us of an ABBA cuss.

22:58 <Cepheid> With respect to the head, estrogen can cause hair to start growing back in, from what I am told. With respect to beards and moustaches, they require a bit more effort to stop.
22:59 <LibrarianofHope> owo
22:59 <LibrarianofHope> daily shaving must be a hassle
23:00 <LibrarianofHope> i tned to shave only after i look like a biblical prophet
23:01 <Cepheid> It can be a problem. Razor burn is a thing.
23:07 <PinkieShy> oof
23:07 <PinkieShy> I have had that many of times >_>
23:07 <PinkieShy> It seems not to be a problem anymore though since going safety razor.. Single blade and correct angle really helps
