00:04 <ELLIOTTCABLE> cloudhead! o7

00:04 <cloudhead> ELLIOTTCABLE: o77

00:04 <cloudhead> what's up brother

00:05 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh wrestling with a broken testing library

00:05 <ELLIOTTCABLE> *eyeroll*

00:05 <ELLIOTTCABLE> you?

00:05 <ELLIOTTCABLE> being barked at by a stiiiiinky dog

00:05 <ELLIOTTCABLE> so stinky, so stinky

00:17 <ELLIOTTCABLE> goddamnit sinon

00:23 <ELLIOTTCABLE> god, Tyranny is so much fun

00:23 <ELLIOTTCABLE> this is really capturing the appeal of early RPGs to me

03:42 <ELLIOTTCABLE> np

03:43 <gq> wat

03:56 <ELLIOTTCABLE> xactly

06:42 <incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: a mixery thing for ham stuff? what do you want to make?

06:42 <incomprehensibly> brr is here?

06:43 <ELLIOTTCABLE> incomprehensibly: I need a ducking circuit for my car

06:43 <incomprehensibly> lmao assumed that was an ios autocorrect for a second

06:43 <incomprehensibly> what would be being ducked by what?

06:43 <ELLIOTTCABLE> oh god that bit me in the ass in #electronics the other day

06:44 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I have ducking auto-completed to fucking

06:44 <incomprehensibly> hahahahaha

06:44 <ELLIOTTCABLE> (trumping an auto-correct with another auto-correct)

06:44 <ELLIOTTCABLE> and I fucked up my first message to the channel

06:44 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't think asking for help with a "fucking circuit" went over well

06:44 <ELLIOTTCABLE> there's a lotttta things making noise in there — navigation, cell phone, spotify, cb, HAM, scanner

06:45 <incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: haha would this do what you want https://www.amazon.com/Nady-DigiComp-Rackmount-Compressor-compression/dp/B017S4HL3Y/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1481697889&sr=1-5&keywords=compressor

06:45 <incomprehensibly> assuming it probably doesn't work at the right voltage scales or w/e

06:45 <ELLIOTTCABLE> basically I want a little potentiometer and toggle switch attached to each secondary channel; and if the toggle is enabled, then the primary channel ducks to a selected "mute level" whenever one of the secondary channels had >= a particular threshold of sound

06:46 <incomprehensibly> ah!

06:46 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't think so? it doesn't look related

06:47 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Actually ideally 3 pots per channel?

06:47 <incomprehensibly> it can do side chain compression

06:47 <incomprehensibly> only with 1 channel though

06:47 <ELLIOTTCABLE> basically each channel has 1. main volume, 2. mute volume, 3. activation-level, and 4. toggle whether it activates

06:48 <ELLIOTTCABLE> if a given channel reaches the activation level, and it's enabled, then all lower channels get muted to their mute-volume setting

06:48 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Crucially I need to keep all of this small enough to keep in the passenger compartment / within reach

06:48 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I'd reaaaaaally love to have the main volumes on the steering-wheel, although I haven't figured that one out yet

07:06 <ELLIOTTCABLE> incomprehensibly: hello and stuff

07:30 <incomprehensibly> hi ELLIOTTCABLE

07:30 <incomprehensibly> working on my final assignment of the semester due tomorrow at 10:45 am lol

07:30 <ELLIOTTCABLE> good luck lordie lol

07:31 <ELLIOTTCABLE> sleep tight when you do

07:31 <incomprehensibly> have to implement perceptron algorithm to classify letters

07:31 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I wrote some code

07:31 <incomprehensibly> not sure how they differ, not handwriting, but

07:31 <ELLIOTTCABLE> that felt good

07:31 <incomprehensibly> thancs

07:31 <incomprehensibly> nice what code

07:31 <ELLIOTTCABLE> meh fixed some old broken tests on giraphe

07:31 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I miss Paws )'=

07:31 <incomprehensibly> but yeah good thing that like i've done image/signal processing and also data science/machine learning shit in so many classes by now

07:31 <incomprehensibly> so it is not scary

07:31 <incomprehensibly> doing some gabor filters and then running perceptron on that

07:32 <incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: giraphe?

07:32 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I do not even know what any of those words mean

07:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> extracted the graph-walking API I built in paws into its own tool so I could optimize it

07:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> then failed to optimize it :P

07:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> but I *am* testing the everloving shit out of it, because almost every single nasty bug I ran into implementing paws so far has been some curly-haired little inconsistency in the graph-walking code

07:34 <ELLIOTTCABLE> same story in C, CoffeeScript, JS versions — it's just central to everything and gets reused everywhere for everything 🙄

07:34 <ELLIOTTCABLE> it's boring but it's the only code in my life soooooo

07:38 <incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: nice!

07:38 <incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: perceptron is like the most basic simple 1-layer neural network you can do pretty much

07:38 <incomprehensibly> have you taken linear algebra?

07:38 <ELLIOTTCABLE> okay I know some of those words

07:38 <ELLIOTTCABLE> nope lol

07:39 <ELLIOTTCABLE> failed out of calc II over the summer

07:39 <ELLIOTTCABLE> and out of discrete this fall

07:39 <incomprehensibly> ah ok

07:39 <incomprehensibly> you know dot product?

07:40 <incomprehensibly> perceptron does 1 dot product on the input vector basically, and whether it's positive or negative is whether it's classified into category A or B

07:40 <incomprehensibly> and you just have this really simple training algorithm to nudge each of the coefficients/parameters towards correctly classifying your inputs

21:16 <alexgordon> yo ELLIOTTCABLE

21:58 <ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon: Hello love

21:58 <alexgordon> love?

21:58 <alexgordon> I am not your car

22:50 <pikajude> I think I'm getting more autistic as time goes on
