22:16 useless-afk how do i google "fastest adder circuit in the world"?
22:17 useless-afk and get actually good results, i mean
22:20 useless-afk Carry Select Adder (CSA) is known to be the fastest adder among the conventional adder structures........The carry-select adder generally consists of two ripple carry adders and a multiplexer. <<== so is it fast or dead slow?????
22:22 useless-afk 16bit adder : The delay of this adder will be four full adder delays, plus three MUX delays.
22:22 useless-afk so it's same slow as all of them
22:24 eless-afk keeps comng back to a full ripplt carry, using 3-bit d-a and then 4 comparators to detect 0-1-2-3 in the analog,,,, which strangely, is how the 74F85 does it's main carry-out si
22:24 rue_house I'm not into connectors, but thanks kat
22:24 Lola8088 That was great... thanx Rue
22:24 rue_house :)
22:25 rue_house love to have life in the house!
22:25 useless-afk so how would you make the world's fastest adder?
22:25 Lola8088 Moira really liked bills sister
22:25 Lola8088 what's her name?
22:25 rue_house kat, eprom
22:25 useless-afk life in the house? with two cats, you shold have tons of life
22:25 useless-afk eproms are slower than static ram, i have some 7ns statics
22:26 Lola8088 You don't know her name... do you... HA!
22:26 useless-afk issue is the carry again, at best there's still 3 delays, and 3x7 = 21, which is back int he 74F85 arena
22:26 rue_house eprom
22:27 useless-afk <blink>
22:27 useless-afk why not a fast ram?
22:27 rue_house 4+4 bits in, 5 bits out
22:27 rue_house preloading it
22:27 useless-afk or 7 in + 7 in + one carry in, and 8 out plus carry out
22:27 rue_house if you get a 16 bit rom, you can do 8+8=9
22:28 rue_house yep
22:28 rue_house or use 2 roms, one just for carry
22:28 useless-afk but in dealing with 48bit LBA hdd addessing, or 64bit integers, the rillple lag is HUGE
22:28 rue_house not for rom
22:28 rue_house its all just there
22:29 useless-afk the carry from the little 1+1 hasto be given time to ripple all the way up
22:29 useless-afk 48bit + 48bit address in a rom?
22:29 rue_house if you want a parallel adder you have to use the pins
22:30 rue_house hmm boiler is concerning me
22:31 rue_house its not supppiosed to let things get *that* hot...
22:32 rue_house priority dump should have been at 77c
22:33 rue_house emergency at 85
22:33 rue_house it was at 78
22:33 useless-afk what is getting hot?
22:33 rue_house oh no its 80
22:33 rue_house ok
22:33 rue_house boiler storage tank
22:34 rue_house -- if the tank hits about 87, the exchanger trips its overtemp and dumps into the firebox
22:34 rue_house which dosn't put the fire out, its usually just annoys it
22:34 useless-afk the steam culd clean out the chimney, increasing the draft, making the fire even hotter
22:35 rue_house and it drps the system fluid level low enough that the house circuit cant pull water to dissipate heat
22:35 useless-afk STOP PUTTING WATER ON THE FIRE, IT'S ALREADY TOO HOT!!
22:35 rue_house yea, I think I have to clean the exchnger tubes again...
22:35 useless-afk oh,, that's a bad design, your refiller should keep the water flowing
22:36 rue_house its manual fill
22:36 useless-afk make it automagic
22:36 rue_house its hard enough to keep the boiler lines from not freezing in the winter winter
22:36 useless-afk oh oh
22:37 rue_house right now were just at uncomfortable
22:37 useless-afk you cannot just shut off the air to the fire?
22:37 rue_house I do, the temp creeps up tho
22:38 rue_house http://paste.debian.net/59095/
22:38 rue_house 4B is the boiler output sensor
22:38 rue_house 4C is the tank temp
22:39 useless-afk Firefox can't find the server at dingdong.rueshouse.net.
22:39 rue_house draftOn / draftOff is the fire draft fan control, as its forced draft fire
22:39 rue_house its local :)
22:39 useless-afk what is "fi" ?
22:40 rue_house its the doorbell and otherwise home automation server
22:40 rue_house fi is the end of if
22:40 useless-afk o
22:40 rue_house its a linux batch file
22:41 rue_house nc is a command line program for sending strings to network ports
22:41 rue_house I have a 'chat server' on port 77 of the automation server, all the computers involved sign into it and send/recieve messages
22:42 rue_house I can telnet into it and issue commands manually
22:42 rue_house do things like turn garden water on/off, or the house furnace blower, or the boiler system pumps etc
22:42 useless-afk k
22:47 eless-afk s
22:47 rue_house I'v made a pretty good pile of stones eh?
22:48 useless-afk i had to put new wheels on the olde handtruck to move the olde flatbed scanenr-printer, there is no way i could pick that thing up
22:48 rue_house oh I should have taken more pics of the boiler collar replacement
22:48 rue_house thats one hell of a scanner HP?
22:48 useless-afk might not be HP, but it's huge and bloody heavy
22:48 useless-afk it's well over 80lbs
22:48 rue_house I'd bet the motors would sell on ebay for cnc
22:49 useless-afk i cannot spend a day taking it apart when there's two senators trying to make sure i have no money, and the DA's office making sure i have no food
22:55 rue_house who is making sure you have no medical?
22:55 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050600.jpg
22:56 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050602.jpg <-- the innermost tube is supposed to be structure!
22:56 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050603.jpg <-- yike!
22:56 useless-afk i called to find out why i was having problems "making an account" on the obamacare site, i was told i cannot sign up, i do not qualify, because i have a known physical disability and need medical coverage
22:56 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050604.jpg <-- grate is more twisted than a pretzel
22:57 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050605.jpg <-- cause for service
22:57 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1050606.jpg <-- out with the old
22:57 useless-afk damn
22:58 rue_house I forgot to take pics of the new collar, its a neat process making it too, cause I have to make a 16" dia section by cutting down a larger one, strapping it closed, and welding it
22:58 rue_house its on its 3rd collar now
23:01 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1030907.jpg <-- first collar
23:01 useless-afk perhaps the temperature needs to be reconsidered
23:01 rue_house hmm its going thru a collar per year it seems
23:02 rue_house I think a lining is in order
23:02 useless-afk yeas, and that may get labor intensive over the years, tearing the whole thing down to rebuild it
23:02 rue_house its not toooo bad
23:02 useless-afk may was well build a new one from scratch every year
23:02 rue_house but rebuilding that lower section is gonna suck
23:02 rue_house its made for it tho
23:03 rue_house it all comes apart as easy as it can be made to
23:03 useless-afk if you know the collar hasto be replaced every yr, then you can redesign the whole thing to need rebuilding every year, and save on materieal;s, making it more worth scrapping the whole thing
23:03 rue_house its a verry valid point
23:03 useless-afk making building anew one cheaper, and easier
23:04 rue_house I could contradict myself and say it dosn't have that many falws right now, as in, its doing a nice job of generating heat
23:05 useless-afk i have been trying to get away from engine blocks that need reboring eavery year, red-hot exhaust mainifolds, and incredibly precise fuel specifications
23:05 useless-afk still have an issue with not twisting off the crankshafts tho
23:05 useless-afk that will haveto be computer thottled
23:06 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/projects/heatplant/p1020817.jpg <-- mar 2011, hmm
23:06 rue_house 'new'
23:07 rue_house hmm, I dont remember having a flange mount on the reactor
23:08 rue_house I suppose I could start building a new one any time
23:08 rue_house its all rather modular
23:08 rue_house wonder if I can get to the postawefull in 7 min...
23:09 useless-afk if it's downhill, with a tailwind, and you have wings
23:10 useless-afk some early ABM missiles were so fast they were out of sight by the time you could say "holycrap"
23:11 useless-afk 60G acceleration
23:25 rue_house did it! I can confirm that the lock timer does lock up at 9:00!
23:26 useless-afk ok?
23:26 rue_house its one of the jobs from work, it wasn't operating properly
23:26 rue_house I fixed it (set it to 'auto' from 'manual')
23:26 rue_house but they have had issues in the past, so needed to confirm
23:58 useless-afk 4-A OUTPUT SINGLE SYNCHRONOUS STEP DOWN SWITCHER WITH INTEGRATED FET ( SWIFT�)
