06:26 any84599499 "as the rover slowly died thru the centuries, the cells were putting out only 10v, the batteries could not be charged, then 8v, 5v, and the arm quit working, by then the calcium patterns were done, and as the panel output dropped below 3v, the basic learning algorithms were based entirely in the rock patterns"
06:28 any84599499 "by changing voltage patterns, the algae where controlled to extend the calcium deposits, the tides pushed and pulled the water thru the channels, "
06:29 any84599499 "it was a slow computer, but over 1000's of years, and the control of basic biolife, it converted the entire planet into a massively parallel 1/5hz computer"
06:42 any84599499 .....
06:44 any84599499 well, you know how you put a 74138 across the top address lines to decode the memory into 8 banks?, in the same way, you put a 64kx1 ram across all the address lines, and the bits of the ram to toggle which bank of ram the cpu can see. By *apparently* randomly toggling the program flow from bank to bank,
06:46 any84599499 you've scrambled the program and the data so it makes sense only if you have the correct bit pattern in the 64kx1 ram chip. It's even more scrambled if you use a 64kx4 ram chip. and unlike the 74138 or 74154, it's a 100% totally reprogrammable scrambleness."
06:59 any84599499 or 74259
08:13 y84599499 points at that
08:15 any84599499 out the door to do things irl..........................
09:17 any00353753 not even 9am, my tshirt is soppy wet

16:19 any64861922 is there a criteria pertaining to memory loss , at which point i should be concerned?
16:21 any64861922 i was parked, in a parking lot in Bham today, after a steel run, and a guy rearended my trailer
16:22 any64861922 he saw it when he ordered his meal, he saw it when he was turning the corner , he was parked behind me at a standstill 2ft behind the trailer, and 20 sec later he rear ended me
16:22 any64861922 he said he didn't see it
16:24 any64861922 at $60/5/gal bucket, i put 3.5 gal on the roof, rain was not scheduled today, it's pouring just south of me atm

16:28 any64861922 Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
16:28 any64861922 We are not now that strength which in old days
16:28 any64861922 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
16:28 any64861922 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
16:28 any64861922 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
16:28 any64861922 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
16:30 any64861922 ah, sway-ear
16:47 rue_school always gone she is
17:17 Tom_itx always returns she does
20:03 any09693249 my roof paint i put on today might not see rain till tomorrow
20:03 any09693249 the heavy stuff stayed south of me, the lighter stuff seems to be dissipating
20:03 any09693249 if anyone cares
20:09 any09693249 need any 74f latches?
20:11 Tom_itx poured here this AM
20:14 Tom_itx need ISL32274 in SOIC and 74ACT04 in SOIC though
20:17 any09693249 i have almost no ACT, and don't know the ISL32374
20:17 any09693249 i have 74f14 and a few 74f04
20:18 rue_school hi kat
20:18 rue_school 32374?
20:18 Tom_itx need those specific ones
20:18 rue_school what family is 32?
20:18 rue_school rtl?
20:19 Tom_itx RS422
20:19 any09693249 1000 PCS NATIONAL SEMI 74ABT16500 CSSCX 3 Bids: $6.50

20:20 any09693249 TMS320C52PJ is a good cpu? 264 of them for $26 ?
20:21 any09693249 ah, you just missed a good sale on balanced transformer couplingers
20:21 rue_school 232 transciever, should have known
20:21 rue_school TMS320 is one I never got into
20:21 any09693249 100's of them went for $4
20:22 rue_school I have a few from hard drives, still not done anything with them ever
20:22 rue_school I think its technically a dsp
20:22 e_school sits down to work on entering polar co-ordinates into the calculator a
20:22 any09693249 ewwww
20:24 any09693249 so if i were to make 18ft steel boats, 5ft wide, 2ft sides, with 2x1ft outriggers, for selling price of $1000 , would anyone buy them?
20:30 any09693249 is there a criteria pertaining to memory loss , at which point i should be concerned?
20:32 Tom_itx i can't remembe
20:32 Tom_itx r
20:34 Tom_itx odd thing
20:34 any09693249 hmm
20:34 Tom_itx some things i can't remember 5 min later but others i can remember forever
20:34 Tom_itx names i forget in 30 sec
20:35 any09693249 i watched a whole movie yesterday, i was dea dtired, and stuff all over my mind, stopping the movie to deal with it all, and now, i can't remember a darned thing about the movie, not even what it was about
20:35 any09693249 30 sec?? i wish i could remember them that long
20:36 any09693249 i been here 20 yrs, still cannot telly ou the names of the streets to get here
20:36 any09693249 i know my ttl parts tho, and some other stuff
20:36 any09693249 dysnomia
20:37 any09693249 took me 30 years to remember that name, since it's a name, and i have it
20:39 any09693249 and i just remembered i put dinner into the nukebox 30 minutes ago :-/
20:42 rue_school I did it!
20:42 any09693249 yay!!
20:42 rue_school I can do vector math on the calculator now!
20:43 any09693249 i never knew an electricain that could do that
20:52 any09693249 doing it wrong : http://www.safehavenmarine.com/IMG_7954.JPG
20:56 zhanx- Ok 2 job applications in
20:58 any09693249 http://www.riverwolfboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/RW_SledSlide43.jpg
20:58 any09693249 but steel, no amenities, trailer not included
20:58 zhanx- Nice boat
21:00 any09693249 well, i was thinking, i am putting so much into 2ft sides barge-pontoons, if i laid in a sturdier bottom, and put no top on the barge, edged the tops of the sides, and drew in one end, that's the hull i'd have
21:03 zhanx- K
21:17 rue_school Xl = 2*PI*f*L?
21:19 any09693249 sorry to hear that
21:20 any09693249 it's been 30+ yrs since i needed to know 3phase vectors or power factor correction or that sorta stuff, i forgot it all
21:23 any09693249 if i make a 3ph 208v-120v system for myself, i'll run the neutral same size as the power wires <shrug>
21:35 zhanx- That is fineish
21:36 zhanx- Just don't exceed the amps of the wire
21:52 any09693249 aaarrrgggg, that storm that dumped on Tom is now entering Alaforkingbama
21:52 any09693249 no, this is another one
21:53 any09693249 it was forecasted to be here tomorrow ~ noon
21:53 any09693249 http://images.intellicast.com/WxImages/Radar/usa.gif
21:54 any09693249 http://images.intellicast.com/WxImages/Radar/tvr.gif
21:54 zhanx- Getting rain here yet again
21:54 any09693249 http://content.wdtinc.com/imap/imaplite/?MAPID=15584
22:04 any09693249 ok, not going to cut steel tonte, need to bring in tools
22:27 rue_school managing to work my way thru these problem questions
22:28 any09693249 ok
22:29 y09693249 hands rue a vit B
22:31 e_school notes that compliments the A+D and C he is ta
22:31 rue_school why B?
22:32 any09693249 neurotransmitters, brain food
22:32 rue_school isn't B vitimin carrot?
22:32 rue_school isn't B, vitimin carrot?
22:32 any09693249 uhhhh
22:32 rue_school want to try a homework question with me?
22:32 any09693249 no
22:33 rue_school ok
22:33 any09693249 i recently ate valerian, chamomile, st johns wort, and a sleepy pill
22:33 rue_school in your day, you could do this WHILE sleeping
22:33 any09693249 ergo, i have no chance of copleting the question, but you can pose it if youlike
22:34 zhanx- I never had a day
22:34 any09693249 heh, i did do pcb layout and schematice while asleep
22:35 any09693249 did a video mux for a tbc tester monitor while getting plastered at a bar, even managed to do it all single sides, cept for pwr and gnd
22:35 rue_school z, not the day you got hte kalman filter working?
22:36 any09693249 back in my day, we didn't need no seeking kalman filters
22:36 zhanx- Does it count if I reinvented something?
22:36 any09693249 <cough>
22:36 rue_school not if you didn't know if existed when you did it
22:36 any09693249 orange juice down the wrong pipe
22:36 zhanx- Kat back in your day bugs in the system were moths
22:37 any09693249 yea,, and a 8Mhz 8080 hadn't been invented yet
22:40 rue_school its surprising how far a 4004 is from what we regard as a processor
22:41 any09693249 heck, given what we are saying about the intel 8080/8086/8088/8085 , it's amazing that cpu was ever used
22:42 any09693249 *were* saying
22:42 any09693249 "wait, 12 clocks to only input one instruction??"
22:42 rue_school if I have a complex impedence of 5 ohms, with 70V across it, there must be 14A
22:43 rue_school if that is in series with a 10 ohm resistor, the resistor must have 140V across it
22:43 any09693249 lol
22:45 rue_school and if there is a capacitor in series with that, that has a reactance of 4 ohms, it must have 56V across it
22:46 rue_school P = v^2/R
22:47 any09693249 so " a complex impedence of 5 ohms, with 70V across it, " and " that is in series with a 10 ohm resistor, the resistor must have 140V across it" = you have a power doubler,, make enough of that and you can power Van off a few 9v battery!
22:52 any09693249 i think i was going to watch that movie i forgot i watched last nite, but i forget if that's the one or not
22:55 rue_school my answer was wrong, but somehow this thing is balanced, its resonating
22:55 any09693249 darn, i was hoping you had invented perpetual energy
23:07 any09693249 so if i use 12 pcs of 64kx16 15ns in each 6502, make 10 of them, clock each to make 50 mips, i'd have 500mips of 6502 , sorta equal to a powerpc 750 , or ARM11, or ARM cortex-R4, or HOLY SHIT AT THE MIPS RATINGS AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second
