Nov 22 2019

12:02 AM tecdroid: rehi
12:15 AM rue_mohr: erm
12:23 AM cehteh: rue_mohr: btw for what values is your sin() off very small ones or very big ones?
12:27 AM cehteh: since almost any way to implement it (table, taylor, cordic) only use one periode (or half of it) they have to caclulate x mod pi first, but pi precision is limited, for huge values of x it gets an increasing error
12:28 AM rue_mohr: its the leading edge, comming from 0 up
12:28 AM cehteh: thats really strange
12:28 AM rue_mohr: the middle of it is linear, and there are 'kinks' after a particular value near the top
12:29 AM cehteh: i tihnk such a bug cant get unnoticed, there must be something you doing wrong
12:39 AM rue_mohr: if I do the same thing on an AVR and it works, will you belive me more?
02:10 AM cehteh: rue_mohr: i suspect something with the clib configuration is wrong
02:28 AM polprog: rue lost his flashlight
02:28 AM polprog: its now pitch blak and his most likely to be eaten by a grue
02:28 AM polprog: black*
05:01 AM djph: polprog: ha, nice. Wait, does rue know xyzzy?
05:15 AM polprog: djph: a hollow voice says fool
05:15 AM polprog: i dont think so
05:15 AM polprog: rue_mohr: did you play zork?
05:16 AM djph: polprog: hahaha
05:16 AM polprog: :p
05:17 AM * Thrashbarg wonders if there's a Fortran version of Adventure that'll compile under CP/M
08:25 AM day___ is now known as day
09:03 AM djph: Thrashbarg: as soon as you write it, heh
09:26 AM polprog: rue_mohr: the best cybertruck comment so far was "when you get drunk with your friends in the garage and find some sheet metal and a mig welder"
09:26 AM polprog: followed by the pic of elon smoking a joint
09:28 AM polprog: all the stupid shit musk pulls off (battery walls, tesla, flamethrowers, etc) is just a way of sustaining cash flow for spacex which is the only real business
09:29 AM polprog: hyperloop
09:29 AM polprog: that was the silliest so far lol
09:29 AM polprog: and the truck now
09:29 AM polprog: rofl
09:32 AM Fuchikoma: Nah both SpaceX and Tesla has tons of money
09:33 AM Fuchikoma: That truck, though, belongs in a low budget 80's sci-fi movie
09:39 AM polprog: yeah, youre right, tesla became big enough to generate money as well
09:40 AM polprog: everything else is just ephemeral
09:48 AM cehteh: that pickup was not a misplaced april joke?
09:49 AM cehteh: i bet it is
09:58 AM djph: other than it being a bit on the ugly side, I hope not.
09:58 AM djph: I'd kill for an electric truck, just to watch people's heads explode when I park in the EV-only spots
10:02 AM Fuchikoma: polprog: I think part of what makes Elon popular among certain crowds is he's clearly not afraid of failing
10:02 AM Fuchikoma: "Here's some cool shit we can try... aw well that didn't work out. On to the next thing!"
10:04 AM cehteh: i think he is honest about wanting to improve the world/mankind not 'just' for his own benefit ... not that i like his way doing so, but there are a lot people doing big scale projects far worse
10:05 AM Fuchikoma: mmm
10:09 AM polprog: yeah
10:13 AM cehteh: https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-wanted-to-buy-the-onion-now-hes-poaching-its-staffers-for-a-secret-project
10:13 AM cehteh: https://thud.com/ ..
10:13 AM cehteh: i dont see the pickup there yet :)
10:14 AM polprog: he might be doing more for the people but i dont portray him as holy anyway
10:14 AM polprog: i couldnt care less for him
10:14 AM cehteh: exactly
10:15 AM cehteh: also his 'technology can solve anything' attitude is flawed
10:15 AM polprog: at the end of the day its money that counts and you dont become a billionaire (is he already?) by giving stuff out :P
10:15 AM polprog: yeah, that too
10:40 AM nohit: i actually like that cybertruck
10:41 AM nohit: looks cool https://www.stara.fi/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/teslacybertruck22112019xxx.jpg
10:41 AM polprog: given that most modern cars look the same
10:41 AM nohit: blade runnerish
10:41 AM polprog: it might be an interesting break from the pattern
10:41 AM polprog: yeah
10:41 AM polprog: blade runner cars were blacker and dirtier
10:41 AM polprog: thats like...
10:42 AM polprog: that fits the interior scenes from the new blade runner
10:42 AM polprog: the one in the white room
10:42 AM polprog: i dont remember
