03:06:29 <Nothing\> two crappy things about getting a kick ass new computer
03:06:47 <hsn> https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xpg9U8UsVAmmaKwEA
03:06:54 <hsn> rip covid19
03:07:05 <Nothing\> the fact that it takes several days before i can download something that'll even utilize the computer to its fullest extent, or anywhere near. and having to reconfigure and install everything the way i like it
03:09:03 <Nothing\> they just made masks mandatory here last friday
03:09:12 <Nothing\> yet at the same time they're starting to re-open businesses
03:09:27 <Nothing\> not that it matters living next to America
03:11:06 * Ampera bear hugs Nothing\
03:11:08 <Ampera> muh fren
03:11:32 * Nothing\ tackle hugs Ampera
03:11:36 <Nothing\> hey buddy, how's it going?
03:11:37 <Ampera> how do
03:11:40 <Ampera> it's going good
03:11:50 <Ampera> I made food https://amperaa.net/f/index.php?topic=718.0
03:11:51 <Nothing\> i'm doing well, finally got some games that can take advantage of my new computer
03:12:14 <Ampera> sweet
03:12:18 <Nothing\> mm what is that? roast beef?
03:12:21 <Nothing\> montreal smoked meat?
03:12:22 <Ampera> roast beef and corned beef
03:12:26 <Ampera> along with maple ham
03:12:35 <Nothing\> you should try montreal smoked meat if you like corned beef
03:12:45 <Ampera> montreal smoked meat sounds awfully generic
03:12:55 <Nothing\> lol it does
03:13:04 <Nothing\> it's just smoked beef but it's tasty
03:14:08 <Nothing\> why is it when a cat gets a toy stuck under a stand or something, as soon as you get it out for them they knock it right back under
03:14:20 <Ampera> because they're cats
03:14:22 <Ampera> and adorable
03:14:34 <Nothing\> haha good answer
03:14:52 <Nothing\> at least my cats haven't gotten into the habit of knocking stuff off of tables or counters just for the hell of it
03:15:10 <Nothing\> actually my older cat just figured out how to get up on the counter so we've been trying to train him not to
03:15:26 <Nothing\> it used to be the only place our food was safe in the house if we had to leave it for a moment
03:15:58 <Ampera> Nothing\, best advice you will ever get, a 100% effective cat deterrent is orange or lemon oil diluted in water and sprayed
03:15:59 <Nothing\> i left a cup of milk on the counter yesterday and left it for a moment and came back to find him drinking it
03:16:05 <Ampera> (in a spritz bottle)
03:16:17 <Nothing\> lol so i thought i'd be nice and give him a little bowl of milk for himesfl
03:16:20 <Ampera> cats have an aversion to citrus
03:16:27 <Nothing\> first thing he does is knock it over with his pow
03:16:42 <Nothing\> lemon oil huh? that's not a bad idea
03:16:50 <Nothing\> cuz smokey doesn't care at all when i spray him
03:17:05 <Nothing\> i can spray him till he's literally dripping and he won't care
03:17:31 <Nothing\> i'd just be worried about getting that mixture in their eyes
03:17:56 <Nero> I just read the last two statements
03:18:04 <Nero> I had to check that I didn´t accidentaly join some NSFW channel
03:18:12 <Ampera> Nothing\, my grandfather's cat is the same, lemon oil did it
03:18:13 <Nothing\> lol wut?
03:18:26 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'll have to look into it
03:18:31 <Nothing\> or maybe a pepper extract
03:18:32 <Nero> ´Spray him till hes dripping´, ´getting that in their eyes´
03:18:36 <Ampera> don't do pepper
03:18:38 <Ampera> that'll hurt them
03:18:39 <Nothing\> but i don't wanna mace the poor bugger
03:18:57 <Ampera> you don't need much oil water, just enough to get the scent everywhere
03:19:30 <Nothing\> lol i remember once my gimpy knees were hurting me and i was desperate for relief, and i remembered some studies i read about how injections of capsaicin can help with joint pain
03:19:56 <Nothing\> so i took this pepper sauce, scotch bonnets, were are basically a variety of habenero i think, close in spiciness anyways
03:20:02 <Nothing\> slathered the shit all over my knees
03:20:07 <Nothing\> oooh man did that ever burn
03:20:31 <Nothing\> then i tried to wash it off with warm water, that just made it even worse cuz the warm water felt like it was scalding
03:20:32 <Ampera> that's like drinking bleach to cure covid :P
03:20:49 <Nothing\> but i thought the whole situation was funny so i was laughing the whole time as i'm screaming from this burning
03:20:56 <Nothing\> haha basically is
03:20:57 * Ysjoelfir sprays desinfectant onto hsn
03:21:06 <Nothing\> the idea is to trigger your endorphins by causing pain
03:21:30 <Nothing\> the thought of actually injecting pure capsaicin like it's fucking cortisone just gives me the willies
03:21:45 <Nothing\> which is what they did in the one study i read
03:22:02 <Nothing\> hey Ysjoelfir
03:22:21 <Nothing\> Nero, haven't seen you in a while. how've you been man?
03:22:35 <Ampera> that's not the idea
03:22:45 <Nothing\> you know nero, talking to you is the first memory i have of this place
03:22:47 <Ysjoelfir> hi Nothing\
03:22:48 <Ampera> the idea is that it'll kill the nerve endings by being so painful it blows them out
03:22:50 <Ampera> afaik
03:23:28 <Nothing\> i was talking about the 555 and arguing with you trying to say it had op amps in it cuz i was confused by the symbol used in the diagrams i was looking at and didn't realize op amps have the same symbol as comparators
03:23:49 <Ampera> Nero has never been in here afaik
03:23:53 <Ampera> you must be thinking of AfterNET
03:23:58 <Nothing\> Ampera, well it was the original one
03:23:59 <Nothing\> yeah
03:24:08 <Nothing\> but still, it's basically heer
03:27:06 <Nothing\> i just realized all those times my mom called me a bugger playfully as a child
03:27:11 <Nothing\> she was calling me an ass rapist
03:27:51 <Nero> hehe
03:27:52 <Nothing\> i wonder how bugger went from serious sex crime to cutsey term of endearment
03:27:52 <Nero> yes
03:27:54 <Nero> memories
03:28:15 <Nothing\> it's like in prison here calling somebody a goof is one of the worst things you can call them
03:28:27 <Nero> I don´t know how long it has been because I have a shit sense of tiem
03:28:28 <Nothing\> yet it was always a term of endearment my mom used on my as a kid
03:28:29 <Nero> but good I guess
03:28:41 <Nothing\> it musta been about 2 years or so
03:28:43 <Nothing\> maybe more
03:29:00 <Nothing\> i got into electronics in october of... oh dang what was it now
03:29:01 <Ampera> Nothing\, is a goof an advanced fool?
03:29:20 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'm not even sure if it has a specific meaning in that context
03:29:44 <Nothing\> but it's one of the worst things you can call people next to like, variations on pedophile
03:30:18 <Nothing\> Nero, musta been october of 07 i start, so 08 some time we woulda first talked
03:30:26 <Nothing\> ehr 17 and 18
03:30:32 <Nero> kay makes sense
03:30:35 <Nothing\> stupid brain, refuses to believe another decade's passed
03:31:02 <Nero> damn, well, long time then
03:31:22 <Nothing\> indeed
03:32:03 <Nothing\> it's interesting how a "long time" can be tremendously different durations of time given the context
03:32:36 <Nero> well, I´m doing a PhD now
03:32:37 <Nothing\> a few seconds can be an eternity or a few years can be a drop in the bucket depending on what you're talking about
03:32:49 <Nothing\> nice, man! what on?
03:32:54 <Nero> RF electronics
03:32:57 <Nero> millimeter-wave stuff
03:32:58 <Ampera> a few seconds of my life feels like an eternity
03:32:58 <Nero> 100 GHz
03:33:10 <Nothing\> yeah i remember you were saying you worked with THZ oscillators and such
03:33:20 <Nero> yep
03:33:32 <Nothing\> actually there's a channel that does all sorts of stuff with mm wave tech i was thinking you'd like it
03:33:37 <Nothing\> lemme see if i can find it
03:33:41 <Nothing\> the signal path
03:33:43 <Nothing\> that's it
03:33:43 <Nero> yeah
03:33:46 <Nero> I know him :p
03:33:49 <Nothing\> random memory recall
03:33:53 <Ampera> why is the initial for oscillator 'X'
03:33:54 <Nero> actually, he has featured one of my designs even
03:33:57 <Ampera> as in OCX
03:34:21 <Nero> it is not. Crystal oscillators are somtimes referenced as XO, or Xtal, or just X
03:34:22 <Ampera> er, XO
03:34:25 <Ampera> for crystal oscilator
03:34:31 <Nero> OCXO is oven-controlled-crystal-oscillator
03:34:36 <Ampera> yeah I had that wrong in my mind
03:34:37 <Nothing\> Ampera, i figured it was because usually CX means crystal oscillator and the connection between CX and cross or criss
03:34:40 <Ampera> the question still standards, why X
03:34:51 <Ampera> and not OCCO
03:35:11 <Nothing\> like xmas
03:35:17 <Nothing\> cxo
03:35:22 <Nero> yes
03:36:01 <Nothing\> that's pretty awesome though Nero i'm glad to hear you're going all the way with your degree
03:36:29 <Nothing\> so you're just going full career with research then, huh?
03:36:35 <Nero> yes, pretty much
03:37:12 <Nothing\> lol my cat was just chewing on one of my notebooks on the table then went to walk away and, steped on the notebook and it slid off the table with her
03:37:20 <Nothing\> now the two cats are fighting over my notebook
03:37:38 <Ampera> you have some cute ass cats, Nothing\
03:37:42 <Nothing\> should probably take it from them before they destroy it
03:37:49 <Nothing\> haha i know, and smokey's so smart
03:37:58 <Nothing\> did i tell you played fetched with him a while ago
03:38:01 <Nothing\> actually a few times now
03:38:09 <Nothing\> lol he's chewing up my notes
03:38:12 <Nothing\> isn't that cute
03:38:18 <Ampera> You did, my cat Mittens used to do that
03:38:50 <Nothing\> yeah, they love paper
03:38:53 <Nothing\> of any sort
03:38:59 <Ampera> all of our cats do
03:39:22 <Nothing\> lol or cardboard tubes from bog rolls
03:39:45 <Nothing\> or pretty much any garbage cardboard or paper
03:39:52 <Nothing\> most of their toys are garbage lol
03:40:12 <Nothing\> it's disgusting how many toys sold commercially are unsafe
03:40:23 <Nothing\> like all of the stuff with craft feathers on it
03:40:30 <Nothing\> they fall apart/come off so easily
03:40:43 <Nothing\> or tiny beads for eyes and stuff that come off if you look at them wrong
03:41:17 <Nothing\> or just fluff and crap that comes off of them to be swallowed
03:41:29 <Nothing\> i'm sure the dyes are probably not too great for them
03:41:49 * steve30 meows at Nothing\
03:42:02 * Nothing\ mews at steve30
03:43:47 <Nothing\> Ampera, it's weird, smokey was able to get effects off of catnip when he was only 3 months old
03:44:03 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
03:44:05 <Nothing\> i always heard they don't get affected by it until they're mature, or close to it
03:44:09 <Ampera> they smart cookies them kitties
03:44:11 <Nothing\> like 6-12 months
03:44:22 <Nothing\> they really are
03:44:48 <Nothing\> the other day smokey threw up, but he had the foresight to actually get out of my bed and do it on a blanket i put on the floor for him
03:45:06 <Ampera> hah
03:45:08 <Ampera> our cats don't do that
03:45:21 <Ampera> they don't puke too often, but when they do it'll be right on your face if they want it to be
03:45:30 <Nothing\> where i remember my old cats when they'd start yakking, you'd be there trying to slide a paper towel under them and they'd just keep running from it. completely intent on puking on the carpet
03:45:44 <Nothing\> that's okay, my one cat pissed on my head once
03:45:56 <Nothing\> she wasn't fixed and she was in heat so i think she was marking me as her own
03:46:19 <Nothing\> but i woke up at 2:30am to feel this warm stream on my head and just noticed the cat running away lol
03:46:33 <hsn> Ysjoelfir that disinfictant spray only works on my cloth .. not the creatures living inside my lungs
03:46:48 <Ysjoelfir> open your mouth
03:46:58 <Nothing\> hsn: breathe an aerosolized version of it
03:47:09 <Ampera> yesterday was fun
03:47:09 <Nothing\> put it in one of those asthma nebulizers
03:47:14 <Nothing\> or an ecig
03:47:18 <Ampera> one of our devops guys blew up an entire testing environment
03:47:19 <Nothing\> what'd you do yesterday Ampera ?
03:47:26 <Nothing\> haha wtf
03:47:27 <hsn> aagh
03:47:30 <Nothing\> how'd he do that?
03:47:33 <Ampera> we have a deploy script for individual sites in an environment that takes a number as an argument for which site
03:47:40 <Ampera> so like one site would be QA20, or whatever
03:48:03 <Ampera> well as it turns out, if you forgot to put that site number, and then set it to deploy, it'd deploy to the web root
03:48:13 <Ampera> as in instead of www/qa20 it'd go to www/
03:48:16 <hsn> noh .. they are living inside me peacefully
03:48:19 <Ampera> so the entire web directory ate shit
03:48:38 <Ampera> along with a bunch of other shit, because there's more than just the www dir in the deploy script
03:48:54 <Nothing\> man
03:49:04 <Ampera> which was useful, because a customer complaint (level 2 bug) came in yesterday, and there wasn't much I could do
03:49:08 <Nothing\> between my video and my cpu, my computer has over 10 billion processing transistors
03:49:14 <Ampera> today I figured out what it was, and I'm about to retest it
03:49:17 <Nothing\> as opposed to data storage transistors, which are nothing special
03:49:52 <Nothing\> i mean, it's a given that it's gonna use a few transistors for each bit of storage, though i'm not sure how many these days
03:50:12 <Ampera> there really aren't many transistors in storage, it's SRAM that has the transistors
03:50:51 <Ampera> I think DRAM tends to have one transistor per bit, though I don't know what NAND has
03:50:56 <Ampera> I mean if it's NAND gates I suppose that'd be transistors
03:51:29 <Nothing\> well for a regular old CMOS bistable switch for SRAM you need what? 4-8 transistors per bit
03:51:37 <Nothing\> or is it 2-4
03:51:48 <Nothing\> either way, when you consider that's per BIT
03:52:02 <Ampera> yeah and how much SRAM do you have in your system
03:52:04 <Nothing\> and you get say a 1000gb ssd
03:52:19 <Nothing\> well not even just SRAM, but any solid state memory
03:52:50 <Nothing\> i dunno though
03:52:56 <Nothing\> i'm sure there's an answer somewher
03:53:25 <Nothing\> i really don't feel like learning the different types of NAND storage and their architectures at the lowest level
03:53:27 <Nero> I think standard sram is 6 transistors
03:53:50 <Nothing\> Nero, i realized i was referring more to NAND storage than SRAM
03:55:03 <Nothing\> so the question is, how much does each bit of typical NAND storage take
03:55:30 <Nothing\> but i'm assuming NAND storage is probably the same architecture as SRAM more or less
03:56:16 <Nothing\> that reminds me, i should install logisism and paul falstad's circuit simulator
03:56:33 <Ampera> I don't even know the basic theory behind NAND flash at all
03:56:42 <Nothing\> i think logisim's been the best tool i've ever come across for this stuff
03:56:43 <Ampera> in my mind it's like DRAM but it sticks around
03:57:05 <Nothing\> Ampera, it' basically just made of bistable switches
03:57:25 <Nero> NAND flash is fucking witchcraft
03:58:00 <Nero> it´s basically a tall tower of transistors, with a floating and a controllable gate
03:58:01 <Ampera> Nothing\, speaking of cache, I was curious to see how much I had, I have 64MB L3, 8MB L2, 1MB L1
03:58:26 <Nero> And you can then see which gates you need to turn on (those are 0) in order for the tower to conduct. Everything you didn´t need to turn on was already on because of the floating gate
03:59:03 <Nothing\> Ampera, nice, i've got a 32mb L3 on this
03:59:17 <hsn> https://twitter.com/mifune/status/1284748259869810689?s=09
03:59:19 <Nothing\> first CPU ever with an L3 on it, believe it or not
04:00:01 <Nothing\> i fucking love this computer
04:00:08 <Nothing\> but for $2000, i better love it
04:00:15 <Nothing\> it's the most expensive thing i've ever bought
04:00:28 <Ampera> most of my machines have L3 caches iirc
04:00:45 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah except the piece of shit i got sold a few months ago
04:01:01 <Nothing\> it's basically just a fucking laptop in an ATX case of some sort
04:01:06 <Ampera> what impresses me is how much RAM they're putting on phones these days
04:01:13 <Ampera> my phone right now has 12GB of LPDDR5
04:01:19 <Nothing\> so i can't even swap out the CPU, it's soldered to the board
04:01:41 <Nothing\> i really need to change the font
04:01:44 <Nothing\> or clean my glasses
04:01:52 <Nothing\> 12pt on 4k is way too small
04:02:03 <Ampera> my highest resolution display is 1920x1080
04:02:08 <Ampera> (on my PC)
04:02:16 <Ampera> I'm not a big fan of high resolution displays on PC
04:05:13 <Nothing\> mine's 4k
04:05:27 <Nothing\> but i've got a GTX 1660TI
04:05:35 <Nothing\> 6gb of VRAM
04:05:43 <Nero> nice
04:06:22 <Nothing\> indeed, but i think the cpu bottle necks it
04:06:44 <Ampera> I have a 1660Ti too, but it was a stopgap CPU to replace my aging 970
04:06:50 <Nothing\> ryzen 3600x at i think 3.6ghz 6 cores, 12 threads, boost speed is 4.4ghz
04:06:58 <Ampera> I'm going to wait for the new nvidia and AMD GPUs to come out and see what they are like
04:07:05 <Nothing\> lol 970
04:07:11 <Nothing\> my last computer had a 750 in it
04:07:21 <Nothing\> the guy was trying to tell me it cost $300 on its own
04:07:32 <Nothing\> i looked it up, the MSRP was never anywhere close to $300
04:07:36 <Nothing\> it's a fucking entry level card
04:07:37 <Ampera> While I doubt it, I want to hold out the chance that the new AMD GPUs will match or beat nvidia
04:07:42 <Ampera> because nvidia drivers are hogwash
04:07:52 <Nothing\> the who sold me my computer was so full of shit
04:08:12 <Nothing\> when we were just shooting the shit i told him was tearing down some microwaves for parts
04:08:24 <Nothing\> so he warns me that microwaves are radioactive inside
04:08:45 <Nothing\> i wasn't even gonna try to correct him
04:09:20 <Ampera> microwaves sometimes have magnetrons with beryllium in them, which can fuck you up
04:09:28 <Nothing\> yeah i know about that
04:09:33 <Ampera> but don't fuck with the magnetron and no problems
04:09:37 <Nothing\> but he meant full on radioactive
04:09:46 <Nothing\> he had no clue what a magnetron or beryllium were
04:10:04 <Nothing\> but actually, not all magnetron antennas are made with beryllium oxide
04:10:17 <rust_collector> most are not
04:10:19 * Ampera gives T3sl4 a pack of apple and radium flavored gum
04:10:22 <Ampera> all natural flavorings
04:10:34 <Ampera> Nothing\, I said sometimes
04:10:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol i hate people who think natural means safer or better
04:11:00 <Nothing\> i tell them, "well, uranium's natural. would you put uranium in your body?"
04:11:06 <Nothing\> or asbestos
04:11:06 <Ampera> it does because GMOs are communist viruses made by obama
04:11:13 <Nothing\> or petroleum
04:11:36 <Ampera> I yearn for the days when artificial flavours were neat and cool
04:11:55 <Nothing\> ugh i started smoking pot again 3 weeks ago and i'm just now starting to hack and cough up all sorts of black crap
04:12:04 <Nothing\> sure didn't take long to get to this point
04:12:15 <Nothing\> Ampera, i don't think that'll ever happen
04:12:24 <Ampera> Nothing\, then cut that shit out
04:12:27 <Nothing\> especially in the EU with their scary sounding E numbers
04:12:38 <Nothing\> yeah i would like to stop smoking
04:12:46 <Nero> I much prefer the E-numbers over the system in the US
04:12:47 <Ampera> then stop
04:12:48 <Nero> but that is just me
04:12:49 <Nothing\> it's too expensive to keep up anyways
04:12:55 <Ampera> Nero, what system is that
04:13:06 <Ampera> we usually put chemicals on our ingredient lists instead of E numbers
04:13:08 <Nothing\> Nero, i admit it makes things a HELL of a lot easier to make heads or tails of
04:13:31 <Nothing\> Nero, but to the general public, an E number sounds a lot scarier than a lot of the regular names
04:14:01 <rust_collector> really?
04:14:26 <Nothing\> i'm just talking in general
04:14:44 <Nero> perhaps. it´s hard for me to say, since I have always had this no fear of chemicals and so on
04:15:03 <Nothing\> yeah it's hard to put yoursefl in their shoes sometimes
04:15:20 <Nothing\> especially being that they're so unpredictable
04:17:06 <Nothing\> oh damn
04:17:14 <Nothing\> xchat had me on pt 9 font, not 12
04:17:32 <Nothing\> no wonder everything looked so tiny. since when is that the default for xchat?
04:17:57 <Ampera> why are you using xchat?
04:18:16 <Ampera> heck, don't you have to pay for the Windows build of xchat?
04:18:23 <Nothing\> nope
04:18:32 <Nothing\> and cuz it's better than mirc
04:18:33 <Ampera> maybe it's so old they don't bother
04:18:44 <Ampera> but xchat is ancient, there's no reason to use it instead of hexchat
04:18:44 <Nothing\> oh yeah i forgot about xchat 2
04:18:47 <Nothing\> yeah
04:18:50 <Ampera> xchat 2?
04:18:52 <Ampera> what
04:18:52 <Nothing\> or hexchat
04:18:54 <Nothing\> that's it
04:19:06 <Nothing\> xchat 2 was the version that cost money
04:19:55 <Nothing\> wow
04:20:13 <Nothing\> 12Gbps speed on the memory on my video card
04:20:20 <Ampera> pretty slow
04:20:29 <Ampera> they make network cards faster than that
04:20:35 <Nero> I have no idea if that is fast
04:20:36 <Nothing\> why's it need that much speed if it's just 6gb of memory
04:20:43 <Ampera> because it's not
04:20:53 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but we're not transferring data across a network
04:21:02 <Nothing\> just through a local bus on a computer
04:21:24 <Ampera> exactly
04:21:32 <Ampera> it's slow
04:22:42 <Ampera> Nothing\, to put it into perspective, my main SSD has a max seq write of 35.2Gbps
04:22:57 <Ampera> 40gbps max seq read
04:23:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, the gtx 20 series has a memory speed of 14000-15500
04:23:07 <Nothing\> so it's not THAT slow
04:23:19 <Nothing\> and iirc 20 series is their most recent
04:23:20 <Nero> are you sure it´s not GB
04:23:30 <Ampera> ^
04:23:31 <Nothing\> it is
04:23:51 <Ampera> so then it's 96Gbps, which sounds about right
04:23:57 <Nothing\> wait
04:24:05 <Ampera> 1 bytes = 8 bits
04:24:07 <Nothing\> that's MT/s on the 20 series
04:24:08 <Nothing\> my bad
04:24:16 <Ampera> MT/s requires bit width to make sense
04:25:07 <Ampera> if it's a 256 bit memory bus, then that's 480Gbps
04:25:12 <Nothing\> 8000MT/s on the 1660ti
04:25:22 <Ampera> (for 15GT/s)
04:25:36 <Ampera> yeah but MT/s is meaningless
04:25:46 <Nothing\> yeah i'm not even familiar with it
04:25:53 <Ampera> that could be anywhere from 8Gbps to infinity
04:26:02 <Ampera> MT/s is mega-transfer per second
04:26:13 <Nothing\> that's what i figured
04:26:14 <Ampera> it's easy to visualize with a slower parallel bus like PCI or ISA
04:26:27 <Ampera> 32-bit PCI (usually) operates at 33MT/s
04:26:28 <Nothing\> brbr
04:26:43 <Nero> Aren´t GDDR busses ilke 512bit or higher?
04:26:43 <Ampera> which means 33 million times per second, 32 bits are transferred across the bus
04:26:50 <Ampera> Nero, depends on it
04:27:00 <Nero> Just don´t beat my speedrecords and Iḿ happy
04:27:28 <Ampera> looking it up the 1660Ti has a 192-bit bus
04:27:52 <Ampera> though this site says "memory clocks" is 12Gbps
04:28:06 <Ampera> so maybe that's not a great source, as you don't measure clock rates in transfer speed
04:28:56 <Nero> 12GHz clocks also seem a bit extreme for consumer memory
04:28:59 <Ampera> this site says 1500mhz, and 12000mhz effective
04:29:02 <Ampera> whatever the fuck that means
04:29:34 <Ampera> but then also states the memory bandwidth is 288 GB/s, which sounds excessive
04:30:15 <Ampera> alright now that's even more confusing
04:30:32 <Nero> could it be that it´s like 8 chips, running at 1.5 GHz, and for some reason they feel like you can just make that be 12 GHz then
04:30:35 <Ampera> nvidia themselves say the memory speed is 12Gbps, but the memory bandwidth is 288GB/s
04:30:58 <Nero> typical marketing not knowing their units apart
04:32:40 <MrMobodies> i see they just add it up.
04:33:02 <MrMobodies> like with some power banks
04:33:13 <Ampera> Nero, it's literally four inches apart on the spec sheet
04:33:30 <Ampera> https://prnt.sc/to1czv
04:34:47 <Ampera> Nero, I think I figured it out, that 12Gbps should be GT/s
04:34:54 <Nero> I think so
04:34:57 <Ampera> because if you do 12 * 192 you get 288/8
04:36:40 <MrMobodies> oh they mixed the two units up.
04:37:46 <Ampera> I mean, really simplistically, Gbps is kinda close to GT/s, but with GT/s it's assumed it's the entire bus per second
04:38:08 <Ampera> Gbps is technically true, if you mean how fast is each line in the bus
04:40:53 <Nero> gbps is not even really close to GT/s, becasue they probably transfer on the rising and falling edge
04:43:10 <Ampera> Nero, while I don't disagree, the number would be the same
04:43:17 <Ampera> it's the clock rate that would be different
04:43:21 <Nero> yea
04:43:24 <Ampera> as in DDR @ 40Mhz = 80MT/s

05:07:16 * Ampera smacks T3sl4 with the FOTD: https://amperaa.net/f/index.php?topic=718.0
05:07:22 * T3sl4 licks it
05:09:45 <MrMobodies> I like the roast potato wedges.
05:10:08 <Ampera> MrMobodies, the homefries?
05:10:21 <Ampera> Yeah they're pretty good, I've got the process down pretty well so I can spit them out within about 40 minutes
05:11:19 <MrMobodies> the cooked ham looks nice in bread
05:11:29 <MrMobodies> and it's thick sliced too
05:12:12 <Ampera> MrMobodies, it is, reasonably so
05:12:31 <Ampera> MrMobodies, T3sl4 https://amperaa.net/f/index.php?topic=717.0 This was the FOTD from two days ago
05:12:46 <T3sl4> :)
05:13:22 <T3sl4> i haven't made anything substantial in a little while, just chicken thighs, salads, and yesterday i got taco bell *shrug*
05:13:33 <MrMobodies> I have seen similar thing advertised, I didn't much but I know quality when I see it
05:13:39 <MrMobodies> I could gobble all those down quickly
05:13:57 <MrMobodies> the potato fries look good
05:14:05 <Ampera> they are
05:14:47 <MrMobodies> what the round things with the holes in them
05:14:51 Quit: Nero ([email protected]) EOF from client
05:14:55 <Ampera> MrMobodies, bagels
05:15:14 <T3sl4> you dont recognize bagels?
05:15:16 <T3sl4> my dude
05:15:20 <MrMobodies> I have seen them in supermarkets but those look a lot better
05:15:26 <MrMobodies> I forget words easily
05:15:29 <Ampera> They're bagged bagels, not fresh ones
05:15:38 <MrMobodies> they still look good
05:15:43 <Ampera> they are
05:15:49 <Ampera> they are onion bagels specifically
05:15:57 <T3sl4> bagged are okay after toasting, still not as good as fresh of course
05:16:08 * T3sl4 creams Ampera with cheese
05:16:16 <MrMobodies> I think later tonighjt I'l lfry up some eggs
05:16:17 <Ampera> T3sl4, those were toasted. Not fresh for obvious reasons
05:16:54 <T3sl4> it's not like there's an ongoing natural disaster that caused most of NY to shut down last month
05:17:01 <MrMobodies> Now I am going try making the potato's some day
05:17:17 <Ampera> T3sl4, what natural disaster would that be
05:17:20 <T3sl4> guessing the potatoes are, cut wedges, spread on sheet with oil, salt and herbs?
05:17:36 <Ampera> they're not fresh because fresh bagels require going to the store at time of use
05:17:37 <MrMobodies> I can visualise that which is why I am going to try and make it
05:17:46 <Ampera> which is a bit more than my 90 minute lunch budget allows
05:18:10 <Ampera> the homefries are cubed potatoes baked on a sheet with olive oil, goya adobo (seasoned salt), black pepper, onion powder, and paprika
05:18:17 <T3sl4> 90 minutes? this guy thinks he's fuckin royalty
05:18:29 <Ampera> I will also say, what and how things were made are actually in those forum posts
05:19:02 <MrMobodies> just written the ingredients down
05:19:31 <MrMobodies> and yes I am hoping it's going to be royalty when they're finished.
05:19:49 <Ampera> T3sl4, officially I have an hour
05:19:54 <Ampera> unofficially, shut the fuck up
05:19:55 <MrMobodies> if they turn out good i'll post some pictures
05:19:57 <T3sl4> ;)
06:15:32 <Ysjoelfir> So... I wanted to install PowerDVD. went to their website, downloaded the tool. noticed that its only a downloader which I downloaded to download the tool itself. ok. nevermind. openend that shitbucket. It tells me that it needs to download a new downloader to download the tool, which it will now download automatically. ok. downloaded the downloader to download a tool using the downloader I originally thought would be the tool itself.
06:15:37 <Ysjoelfir> I hate this shit

06:58:25 <Ampera> have you tried VLC?

06:58:32 <Ysjoelfir> yes. doesn't play BD
06:58:37 <Ysjoelfir> at least not a protected one
06:59:16 <Ampera> ask jspiros about that actually (in AfterNET)
06:59:24 <Ampera> he could get you on the right track to figuring out how on earth to do that
07:04:58 <Ysjoelfir> nah, I'm lazy. it seems to work now and since I nearly never watch movies anyway....

08:08:58 <hsn> :)
08:09:07 <rust_collector> yeh, that was nice, thanks
08:09:14 <rust_collector> nah, why?
08:09:21 <hsn> ^ no
08:09:28 <rust_collector> If I even meet you, I will spank you
08:10:02 <hsn> im using ur "no excercise" to give my self selfsteem confidence whatever its called
08:10:07 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/bn2KCj.jpg
08:10:37 <hsn> do u like my disclaimer ? say it
08:10:56 <rust_collector> it is full of text, what does it say?
08:11:05 <hsn> it says
08:11:22 <hsn> whatever u want me to do .. might not work .. and im not responsible
08:11:43 <hsn> and im free to share screenshots in my portfolio
08:11:45 <rust_collector> that was much more efficient...
08:12:19 <hsn> xD
08:12:30 <rust_collector> if you want to hide what you say, go for the google version, and have a 93 page disclaimer
08:12:31 <hsn> go enjoy ur weekend
08:12:58 <rust_collector> nah, this weekend will suck
08:13:05 <hsn> nah im not trying to hide stuff .. im crystal clear ..
08:13:17 <hsn> u can meth me
08:14:27 <rust_collector> oh, I quit doing drugs, so I don't have a dealer any more
08:15:22 <hsn> just sniff me im crystal
08:15:35 <hsn> and then enjoy the suckness of the weekend
08:30:24 <Halcyon> Morning all
08:30:38 <rust_collector> yes
08:30:42 <Halcyon> Argh, I am still tempted to bid on this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sharp-PC-7000-Vintage-Luggable-XT-Computer/254657027178
08:30:57 <rust_collector> do you have to?
08:31:02 <Halcyon> No?
08:31:07 <rust_collector> just do it
08:31:54 <Halcyon> The IBM compatibility is nice though. I already have an XT-based machine, but it's an Amstrad and it's kind of DOS compatible
08:37:11 <hsn> hi there Halcyon how is ur day
08:37:47 <steve30> hi Halcyon
08:38:00 <Halcyon> Hey guys
08:38:02 <Halcyon> I just woke up
08:39:08 <steve30> I spent the afternoon at fetish-guy's house. He showed me some of the projects he's working on at work. We also took a look at one of his Raspberry Pis.
08:39:12 <hsn> enjoy ur day then ,, gn its 1:40am here
08:39:31 <Halcyon> Oh nice, what else did you guys get up to? ;-)
08:39:36 <Halcyon> Night hsn
08:39:46 <steve30> Drinking coffee :p
08:40:01 <Halcyon> Through a hose up your bum? :P
08:40:21 <steve30> Nah, that would be a waste of good coffee
08:40:28 <Halcyon> Heh
08:40:29 * steve30 prefers his coffee in a mug
08:40:50 <Halcyon> Well that's disappointing :P Rather a generic day at the fetish household
08:43:16 <steve30> I was feeling crap yesterday, so it was nice to get out somewhere and chat to someone
08:44:33 <Halcyon> Aw :)
08:44:38 <Halcyon> You know you can always call me
08:51:26 * steve30 curls up on Halcyon's lap
08:51:55 <Halcyon> Bahaah this guy who is selling a beige box 486 SX33 with 16MB RAM on ebay for $4000 won't budge on price.
08:52:09 <Halcyon> Even brand new, that machine was barely half that price.
08:57:53 <rust_collector> eeh.
08:58:03 <rust_collector> what does that have to do with anything?
08:59:00 <Halcyon> Computers aren't like wine, they don't get better with age and their value, generally falls significantly and doesn't recover. The only exception to this are some models of well-known (or super rare) brands.
08:59:12 <Halcyon> Not generic machines built using off-the-shelf parts
08:59:36 <rust_collector> but, wine is horrible?
08:59:48 <Halcyon> Some wine is yes, just like shitty computers
09:00:01 <Halcyon> Some wine is horrible the day you buy it
09:00:19 <Halcyon> Just like Apple products made anytime in the last 20 years :P
09:00:40 <rust_collector> i should try some wine one day, it has been a long time
09:01:20 <Halcyon> Heh you don't just "try" wine. You literally have to try all the different varietals to find one you might like and even then the taste varies considerably between vintages and brands.
09:02:01 <rust_collector> well, I can just not try it... that is an option
09:02:17 <Halcyon> I guess it's like beer? Just because you drink beer, you generally stick to a small handful of types/flavours
09:02:37 <Halcyon> Oh you can if you want, I'm just saying, don't write it off after one or two tastes. It's not a fair representation.
09:05:59 <Halcyon> Oh gawd, why are these nutjobs who believe COVID-19 is a "scam" making news?
09:06:09 <Halcyon> They need to undergo a mental health assessment if anything
09:06:29 * steve30 fires some 5Gs at Halcyon
09:07:08 <Halcyon> Oh don't even start Steve, one of their claims is that 5G and COVID-19 is forcing us into a cashless society, that's the Government's whole motive.
09:07:28 <rust_collector> that makes sense
09:07:29 <Halcyon> It has nothing to do with the fact that most people just don't use cash because it's inconvenient.
09:08:03 <rust_collector> oh you modern people....
09:08:32 <Halcyon> In Australia last year, just over 25% of all payments were cash.
09:08:50 <Halcyon> A total of 16% were over the value of %50
09:08:51 <Halcyon> $50
09:08:55 <steve30> Did you stop any coronaviruses last week when you were away?
09:09:16 <Halcyon> No idea Steve, we don't conduct testing. My crew's were just checking permits.
09:09:47 <rust_collector> you have to have a permit to be sick down there?
09:10:40 <Halcyon> No you have to have a permit to cross the state border into the state I live in
09:10:51 * steve30 needs a hair cut
09:11:10 <Halcyon> Then depending on the type of permit you have and where you have been you may or may not need to self-isolate for 14 days.
09:18:04 <Halcyon> Oh wow, the guy from Technology Connections has the gayest looking car
09:18:35 <rust_collector> he has an old prius?
09:18:48 <Halcyon> Nissan Figaro
09:18:49 <steve30> I have wondered if he is gay
09:18:59 <Halcyon> I reckon he is
09:19:06 <rust_collector> wow, I have never seen a real one of those
09:19:13 <steve30> Does your gaydar beep when you watch his videos?
09:19:27 <Halcyon> Yep, it goes off
09:19:34 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6xKHvhRz1w
09:23:39 <rust_collector> heh, so it is an import, it looks like. did you get those cars there?
09:23:42 <steve30> i should probably go to bed
09:24:11 <Halcyon> In Australia? I don't think so, I'd never heard of them.
09:24:24 <Halcyon> Aww night Steve
09:24:33 <rust_collector> good night

09:24:51 <rust_collector> yes
09:25:01 * steve30 meows at Halcyon
09:25:32 <rust_collector> at least that one seems to be, with the emergency flare and all
09:25:39 <steve30> You should come and pet me to sleep
09:25:50 <Halcyon> Heavy petting? :P
09:57:23 <rust_collector> I am not sure why, but there is something satisfying about these little videos:https://imgur.com/gallery/nDuBX2V
09:58:47 <Halcyon> Hahaha
09:59:05 <Halcyon> That would fucking hurt, if not fuck your back up
09:59:24 <rust_collector> yes. bad days for that guy

10:29:53 <rust_collector> that is a great program.
10:43:45 <rust_collector> I wonder if you can order a car without a radio
11:05:42 <Halcyon> I doubt it?
11:06:03 <Halcyon> What annoys me more are cars where you can't turn off the LCD while driving. It's so distracting.
11:07:04 <Halcyon> I turn all my dash lights down to almost minimum at night
11:07:40 <rust_collector> and warning lights. those are annoying. it is ok, but then you press the "ok" button, it does not have to wait 30 seconds, and turn the light back on again
11:07:52 <Halcyon> Warning lights?
11:08:02 <Halcyon> Like, seatbelts?
11:08:25 <rust_collector> well, like abs, or engine, or... whatever
11:08:35 <Halcyon> Heheh I like how you just ignore those :P
11:08:50 <Halcyon> "Ah it's just an oxygen sensor, she'll be right"
11:08:56 <Halcyon> You sure you aren't Aussie?
11:09:21 <rust_collector> I have been hardened by 15 years in a volvo, if they do not have a warning light on the dash, it has probably got a dead battery
11:09:32 <Halcyon> Hahaha
11:09:54 <Halcyon> I have to admit, the Volvo's even these days are pretty unobtrusive
11:10:15 <Halcyon> I jump into some of our work cars and there is a light or a bing/bong for everything
11:10:25 <rust_collector> yep
11:10:35 <Halcyon> When we had a Subaru it would just randomly make all these noises. It's off-putting
11:10:55 <Halcyon> I don't need to be told about anything unless something is wrong, or it's going to potentially injure me or someone else
11:11:02 <rust_collector> well, the bright warnings is annoying at night.
11:11:36 <rust_collector> I am ok with it telling me there is an issue, but when I clear it, it can stay off until at least the next time I start it, or something
11:11:58 <Halcyon> Their stupid eye-sight system was especially annoying. It would warn too soon about frontal collisions and whenever you were facing the sun, the system would drop in and out because it couldn't see anything.
11:12:19 <MrMobodies> I have noticed new cars and their brighter dashboard lcd lights
11:12:25 <Halcyon> I don't know why Subaru in their wisdom went with an optical only solution
11:12:27 <rust_collector> try it with a pile of snow on the sensor
11:12:51 <MrMobodies> I have an old car and the lights seem okay even in the dark
11:13:31 <Halcyon> I like the Volvo, the "minimum" setting is almost too dark. But in some cars, like Kia, minimum isn't low enough for me. Particularly on country roads where it's dark as fuck
11:13:33 <MrMobodies> some of the LED bulbs on cars and buses are so bright I see them in my peripheral vision in daylight and I have put the flap down
11:14:15 <Halcyon> Anyway I'm going to the shops, back soon
11:14:36 <rust_collector> going to bed, good night..in the shop
11:14:46 <MrMobodies> oh night
11:35:59 <T3sl4> holy shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54nAOaEe_Fw

19:08:19 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
19:08:25 <Nero_> it´s 11
19:11:15 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
19:11:23 <Ysjoelfir> Thats pretty right
19:15:31 <watcher> that morning
19:21:44 <Ysjoelfir> no, not that one.
19:23:17 <Nero_> oh the other one
19:23:19 <Nero_> I see.
19:23:29 <Nero_> I don´t like this trend in RF instruments of having embedded filters
19:23:38 <Nero_> makes my life reverse-engineering them a heck of a lot harder
19:27:18 <Ysjoelfir> haha :D why would you even embed them? more money selling them as an addon, no?
19:27:29 <Nero_> nah, I meant within the PCBs
19:28:28 <Nero_> like, distributed element filters. You used to always see them on the top, but these days, with better simulation tools, and the push for smaller PCBs and systems, you see them integrated into the stackups (so you put them on a metal layer in the center of the PCB instead of on the top or bottom layer)
19:30:24 <Nero_> it also has the benefit of being a bit smaller because the electrical length is shorter when wrapped in dielectric. And you have a bit more isolation
19:30:56 Quit: ThunderSqueak ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
19:33:35 <Nero_> It really is crazy what they can do these days on a single board
19:33:59 <Nero_> the architectures that used to require lots of dedicated components connected with rigid coax, in 3-4 cards, now all done on a single PCB, with higher performance
19:50:00 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, that sounds very crazy :D
19:50:14 * Ysjoelfir is occupied by SWMBO who wants to order food
20:03:39 <steve30> hi
20:03:59 <Ysjoelfir> hi steve30
20:05:18 <watcher> hi
20:25:09 <Nero_> Sometimes I really like to go back to Shahriars old videos and rewatch them, and realize a) how much I forgot and b) how much more I understand now that I have more experience
20:25:38 * steve30 hugs Ysjoelfir
20:29:53 <Ysjoelfir> hehe :D Yeah, thats always nice.

20:33:36 <Nero_> okay that´s it, I´m ignoring that EEVBlog thing
20:35:43 <Nero_> yall wanna see some p0rn (don´t worry it´s not actual p0rn Iḿ not an idiot) https://imgur.com/zAN2evq
20:35:51 <Nero_> 110 GHz <3
20:50:47 <rust_collector> HEY! that is not exactly safe for home! how about a better warning?
20:51:10 <Nero_> :p
20:52:22 <Nero_> I actually know the guys who did the digital DSP side of that ADC
20:52:34 <Nero_> Their office is quite close to my place of work
20:52:41 <rust_collector> Ok, it it time to make some dinner for breakfast
20:53:04 <rust_collector> oh, community fun
20:55:07 <Nero_> Still can´t get over the fact that they wire-bond everything
21:00:30 <coppice> Nero_: conversion is easy. these days the biggest problem with achieving these speeds is actually being able to absorb the storm of results coming from the converter
21:01:02 <Nero_> nah, I´d say the challeng is clockalignment
21:01:39 <Nero_> Esp to get the ENOB keysight got in their UXR, you need some damn low jitter
21:01:48 <Nero_> that and the first SaH
21:01:56 <coppice> that's not easy, but building an architecture than can absorb the results is a nightmare
21:02:22 <Nero_> Yeah but that is the digital guy´s problem :p I just pretend they can just copyy-paste their VHDL and call it a day
21:03:14 <Nero_> I seem to recall that they have to do some crazy stuff with the memory too, getting the throughput they need
21:03:32 <coppice> but its not just the digital guy's problem. the close coupling required by anything which can absorb and process those samples made the back end a huge problem for the front end
21:04:33 <Nero_> You mean like matching? that is true. Huge efforst going into matching and calibration of these massive wide time-interleaved ADCs/DACs
21:04:49 <Nero_> But I don´t do baseband so I don´t really know anything anyways
21:06:00 <coppice> you can find a few nice slide sets on the web where people go into architecting things like this. There are interesting designs around
21:06:37 <Nero_> coppice, yeah, I know. Some colleagues of mine do wide time-interleaved ADCs. not 256 GSa/s, but not that far off.
21:08:03 <Nero_> I think the mixer-based stuff is really cool (though you could argue that hard SaH is a zero-IF mixer type thing) but there seem to be a lot of issues with alignment and phase
21:09:42 <coppice> Nero_: and a lot of those issues require tighter and tighter integration to keep everything at a common temperature. its all very messy
21:10:38 <Nero_> coppice, you can fix some of the alignment issues and so on by dithering your interleaved converters
21:10:42 <Nero_> don´tknow the propper term
21:11:08 <Nero_> but like, instead of doing a-b-c-d-a-b-c-d randomly switchign so say a-c-d-b-c-a-d-b etc
21:11:27 <Nero_> because any mismatch then becomes wideband noise instead of a narrowband spur
21:11:53 <Ysjoelfir> But the bot is funny, Nero_ :D and your porn is great!
21:12:06 <Ysjoelfir> also, hi rusty
21:14:14 <rust_collector> hoiaaa

21:59:50 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, have you had a tivoo?
22:00:03 <Ysjoelfir> a what?
22:00:46 <rust_collector> yes. it seems to be a mini tv, for displaying messages? but when I look it up, the links talk about speakers... I dunno?
22:01:47 <rust_collector> https://www.divoom.com/product/tivoo.html
22:02:12 <Ysjoelfir> that looks cute. but.... erm.. what is it
22:02:22 <Ysjoelfir> "Pixel art speaker"
22:02:59 <Nero_> what is the purpose
22:03:28 <Ysjoelfir> looks like a.... novelty speaker that looks kinda cute
22:08:12 <Ysjoelfir> I am soooooo tired x.x
22:08:31 <rust_collector> I should find some pants
22:09:13 <rust_collector> And get back to working on the van.
22:09:34 <rust_collector> i "sold" it yesterday, so that is nice
22:09:43 <Nero_> do you oftne find yourself in a situation where you need to actively put effort into finding pants
22:09:54 <rust_collector> yes
22:09:56 <Ysjoelfir> the red one?
22:10:00 <rust_collector> yep
22:10:17 <Ysjoelfir> I should go to the volvo and replace the alternator. got a cheap old one that doesn't squeak.
22:10:27 <Ysjoelfir> and to the BMW and replace the tires
22:10:36 <Ysjoelfir> so your friend didn'Ät want the van?
22:11:06 <rust_collector> it was never mine, but we put it in my name, just to get it off the previous owners name. so yes, it is wifes friends van
22:12:07 <Ysjoelfir> ah, ok
22:12:36 <rust_collector> but I still have to put it together, lol
22:13:25 <rust_collector> today it is the jack point on the passenger front, and maybe the hole in the sliding door. then turn it around, and start on the other side
22:13:52 <rust_collector> which looks worse, but it should be fairly easy to fix
22:15:48 <rust_collector> after the body is complete again, i guess it needs a clutch, and maybe I should look at the scv, maybe I can take it apart and clean it up, just in case
22:17:56 <coppice> "after the body is complete again" sounds a bit Frankenstein
22:18:15 <rust_collector> yep
22:18:26 <rust_collector> it is missing parts around the edges
22:21:35 <Ysjoelfir> you should call it "Frankenonion"
22:21:47 <Ysjoelfir> Or Frankenløk if you wish
22:38:23 <rust_collector> so, I was looking at chainsaws yesterday. there is a small husky that is very very cheap, I might get one. it is just for stuff around the house...
22:39:57 <rust_collector> but... eeh, it is small
