<devyn> trolling: fuckin' crazy, isn't it
<alexgord_> devyn: eh the price is arbitrary
<alexgord_> the market cap is slightly less arbitrary, but still pretty arbitrary
<devyn> why are the new FMA instructions useful if LEA allows you to do the same thing?
<devyn> is FMA for the vector registers (XMM*)?
<whitequark> um
<whitequark> yes
<devyn> oh ok
<whitequark> and I believe it's mainly for floating-point
<whitequark> lol lea
<purr> lol
<whitequark> you see, the whole point of fma (compared with just a multiply and accumulate instructions which the CPU can regognize and fuse on itself) is that it changes semantics
<whitequark> FP error builds up in a different way when you use it
<devyn> I kinda forgot about the floating point part :p
<whitequark> [edit]
<whitequark> A fused multiply–add is a floating-point multiply–add operation performed in one step, with a single rounding. That is, where an unfused multiply–add would compute the product b×c, round it to N significant bits, add the result to a, and round back to N significant bits, a fused multiply–add would compute the entire sum a+b×c to its full precision before rounding the final result down to N significant bits.
<alexgord_> cool

<devyn> LTC IS GOING WILD
<gkatsev> what's LTC trading at?
<devyn> $5.30 on BTC-e
<devyn> and rising
<devyn> like crazy
<devyn> spike from like $4.30 to $5.30 in like 10 minutes
<devyn> $5.39
<devyn> jesus
<devyn> $5.438841
<devyn> $5.5101
<devyn> $5.53
<devyn> $5.68
<niggler> i think LTC/BTC hit a new low
<niggler> so people are trying to arb that
<devyn> how is 0.0107 a new low?
<niggler> alternatively devyn if you think BTC is going to fall but don't want to take a naked bet, a long position in LTC is a natural hedge
<devyn> oh wow
<devyn> by the chart it did go pretty low
<devyn> but that isn't low :p
<niggler> the point is that if you think bit coin is going to fall, the best hedge is probably litecoin
<niggler> because both are subject to pretty much all of the same macro forces
<devyn> aaand crash again
<eligrey> is Europa Report (2013) worth seeing?
<whitequark> wow, btc is at 578 on mtgox
<eligrey> i wish i had not spent that 3 btc i had
<devyn> eligrey: I spent like 0.8 BTC when it was around $100 so... yeah
<eligrey> way back near the start
<whitequark> i don't really have any :p
<eligrey> but then i didnt really ever get involved again

<devyn> LTC is insane it's like up-down a lot
<niggler> there's very little depth of book in LTC
<devyn> I am finance-dumb halp
<niggler> oh devyn essentially the price is meaningless if you have enough LTC or BTC or whatever to move the market
<niggler> that price might be good for 1 LTC or 1 BTC but not necessarily for 100 or 1000
<niggler> and trying to dump larger quantities may cause you to rip through whatever prices people are willing to trade against you for
<devyn> ah
<niggler> OT: my sister got me the iPad mini with retina display -- droolworthy
<niggler> it is absolutely beautiful
<devyn> nothing is possibly off topic
<devyn> this is #elliottcable
<niggler> ok so time for some self-promotion!
<devyn> my Galaxy S4's screen is pretty fucking great btw
<niggler> so i had a crazy idea
<niggler> and I'm thinking of doing a kickstarter for it
<niggler> spreadsheet linting
<devyn> 1920x1080 on like a 5" screen, I think? less than that?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Guys.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Phillips Hue.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Holy crap.
<niggler> first, have you seen http://oss.sheetjs.com/
<niggler> we apparently have stirred the sleeping giant ELLIOTTCABLE
<niggler> btw is philips spelled with one l
<whitequark> devyn: yeah, 441 ppi
<whitequark> which is entirely pointless, because you can't see anything over ~310ppi
<whitequark> >People with 20/20 Vision cannot resolve the individual pixels on a 441 PPI display for viewing distances of 7.8 inches or more, which is exceedingly close for viewing a 5.0 inch display., duh
<whitequark> oooh, it's pentile, that explains it
<whitequark> 441 ppi is not the real resolution because it's fake pixels.
<whitequark> in theory this works well because the eye has different sensitivity to red/blue and green
<whitequark> in practice, on lower resolution displays this looks like utter crap
<devyn> whitequark: yeah, which is why they made it so high. I know it's pentile
<devyn> not many phones seem to have non-pentile AMOLED displays though
<devyn> which is too bad because I really like AMOLED
<devyn> but oh well, the phone is perfectly capable of pushing out 1920x1080
<devyn> quite easily
<whitequark> AMOLED burns out
<devyn> tell that to my Galaxy S, which still works just fine
<whitequark> my SGS2 had AMOLED and it had amazing contrast
<devyn> I just love how it looks
<whitequark> yet it does burn out. compare it with an identical new phone to see it better
<whitequark> I know, because I actually had three SGS2's :p
<devyn> haha okay
<devyn> I run mine on fairly low brightness
<whitequark> it's mainly related to heat afaik
<whitequark> and tell me children, what's the main source of heat in a smartphone? *chorus* CPU!
<niggler> btc crossed 600
<joelteon> i should've bought some
<devyn> niggler: on what, mt. gox? mt. gox is really hard to deal with
<devyn> and it's not really trusted anymore
<niggler> yeah gox is saying 605 lol
<purr> lol
<devyn> BTCe says $540
<joelteon> man
<joelteon> thank god for medications
<whitequark> turn the sound on, it's beautiful

<yorickpeterse> also ffs I just had breakfast

<whitequark> hmmm, it's okayish. I like how the culture shock is portraited.
<whitequark> but they really didn't do the homework on maritime vessels
<whitequark> it's basically a tiny cramped city on a ship, not... a ship

<yorick> whitequark: what anime?
<whitequark> gargantia
<whitequark> it's reeeeeeally soft sf, but with a nice social twist. pretty nice.

<whitequark> their flying machines are completely ridiculous.
<whitequark> well, borderline ridiculous, you could sorta do that today with wingsuits and maybe carbon fiber reinforced plastics and some kind of high-density batteries
<whitequark> still ridiculous.

<whitequark> and I mean finished finished, it's a complete story.
<whitequark> that's like, the first time I've seen that in anime, ever.
<whitequark> well, no. FLCL and Mnemosyne were like that, too.
<whitequark> and Baccano
<whitequark> nevermind, plenty of examples.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Mnemosyne.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> The only Anime I've ever watched, and the last one I will ever watch.

<gkatsev> ELLIOTTCABLE: didn't you watch other anime?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> not TV shows. I've seen most of the Studio Ghibli stuff, but that's about it.
<gkatsev> alright
<whitequark> Mnemosyne actually was a TV series
<whitequark> despite the episode length it's not an OVA
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: you should watch FLCL, it's about equally weird but in a completely different direction
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “OVA?”
<gkatsev> flcl is good
<whitequark> there's also a set of nice essays on it, lemme find
<gkatsev> ELLIOTTCABLE: original video anime
<ELLIOTTCABLE> uh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: original video animation
<gkatsev> i.e., straight to DVD
<gkatsev> not shown on TV
<whitequark> so basically, there's TV series (13 or 26 episodes, moderate content, aired) and OVA (pretty much anything risky you could imagine)
<whitequark> yeah and it's direct-to-DVD
<gkatsev> except unlike american direct to dvd movies, OVAs are actually good.
<whitequark> yup
* gkatsev bbls
* whitequark can opine on everything from http://myanimelist.net/animelist/whitequark
<whitequark> tbh most of it isn't worth watching unless you particularly like genre (in narrow or wide sense) or have too much time to kill
<whitequark> I did rant here about TMnI/TKnR already
<gkatsev> multiple years out of date
<whitequark> is revolutionary girl utena worth it?
<whitequark> from the tvtropes description it sounds like a major mindfuck without particular meaning to it
<whitequark> btw, tvtropes is an amazing way of searching for nice works
<whitequark> you just browse it [endlessly, as if it needs mention] and let the knowledge absorb into it. then at some moment you know what you'd want to see. I've barely been disappointed by this method.
<whitequark> for example, that's how I found Mnemosyne: I was looking at http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TurbineBlender and suddenly I knew it was worth it
<whitequark> and I was happy ever since.
<whitequark> *g*

<gkatsev> joelteon: cool concept, though
<joelteon> yep
<joelteon> but
<joelteon> it was written by morons
<gkatsev> never really used it
<joelteon> but it certainly is the best command line bittorrent client
<joelteon> i'm trying to set up a seedbox
<joelteon> limited success so far
<ELLIOTTCABLE> why's reorient terrible? or a great concept?
<gkatsev> wat
<joelteon> rtorrent
<joelteon> it's a command line bittorrent client ec
<joelteon> the reason it's terrible is because it's obvious that the people who wrote it don't know how to write software
