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.

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

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?
<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.

is watching an anime space opera
<whitequark>
they're fighting giant space slugs. reminds me of battlestar galactica.
<whitequark>
actually, that's snails, not slugs.

hmmm, it's okayish. I like how the culture shock is portraited.

but they really didn't do the homework on maritime vessels

whitequark: what anime?

it's reeeeeeally soft sf, but with a nice social twist. pretty nice.

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.

the concept of being able to disconnect and reconnect landmass (and therefore states) at will is fascinating

gargantia?
<devyn>
sounds neat
<whitequark>
yeah
<whitequark>
reminds me of asimov's stories

huh, communism.

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.
