20:01:12 schestowitz[TR2]; "Absolutely! We are a financial engineering company that uses M&A and labor arbitrage to make most of the money. Innovation is completely dead.
20:01:12 schestowitz[TR2]; Quantum is always 20 years ahead. It was 20 years in the future 20 years ago. IBM has a poor track record of making money from true innovation like this which is why they prefer to game the profit. It is easier.
20:01:12 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM Watson Health was a genius idea - but poorly executed. Instead of learning from our mistakes and doing it right like Apple did with the Newton which evolved into the iPhone, we bailed - right before AI got really really big. The stupidity of the timing tells you how clueless leadership was.
20:01:15 schestowitz[TR2]; Blockchain is another huge loss. Less said the better.
20:01:17 schestowitz[TR2]; IBM doubled on design but then handcuffed the designers. Another great idea that became a core expertise but they just bailed and the design program was effectively dissolved.
20:01:20 schestowitz[TR2]; Watsonx is not a successful product. It is not a contender. Granite is mediocre at best and we never captured the market with it.
20:01:23 schestowitz[TR2]; Watson on Jeopardy and Deep Blue made me so proud in the days before IBM betrayed me. But they never became real products. They evolved into solutions we could not give away for free.
20:01:26 schestowitz[TR2]; The reason IBM is being forgotten isn't because it serves the enterprise but because the company doesn't innovate. It fires the innovators and hires losers. It makes most of its money through buying companies, stealing the IP and replacing the employees with cheap labor. IBM is a corporate pirate or if you will, a corporate vampire. It consumes without contributing.
20:01:31 schestowitz[TR2]; Wait, was that racist to vampires? I apologize in advice to the negativity spoken about the undead. And to pirates. Them too."
20:02:05 schestowitz[TR2]; "hey pirates are good people who make hard decisions. They don't delight in pillage and mu---r; they make the tough choices about ra-e and theft. Stop judging.
20:02:05 schestowitz[TR2]; And vampires just want to survive. Sure, they drink the blood of the innocent but they are fathers and mothers to other vampires, even cute baby vampires. So mean of you; think of them before you attack their behavior."
20:04:08 admfubar; mincer, no it can blow up stars, like bobby the talking bomb from "dark star"
20:04:12 MinceR; lol
20:07:43 Goblin; sorry - its only partially related to the conversation here, but I've wanted to mention this - the Deathstar from Starwars was the most useless weapon. If its agreed that ships travel faster than light in the starwars universe then all you would need to do would be to fly any ship into a planet at the speed of light and it would take out the planet.
20:08:43 Goblin; Infact I think in the recent movies they did just that - to take out a star destroyer...
20:13:10 MinceR; :>
20:13:43 MinceR; they seemed to generally treat this scenario as being dangerous for the ship but not for the planet
20:17:51 Goblin; you could remote control the ship into the planet....I believe a pin travelling the speed of light could wipe out a planet.
20:26:53 admfubar; my pet peeve with all sci-fi shows is artificial gravity. It magically stops at the ships hull. imagine suddenly parking an earth gravity field emitting object in orbit around earth...
20:28:42 MinceR; i think star wars ignores plenty of physics
20:29:13 MinceR; it was described as 'space fantasy'
20:30:24 Goblin; :) also, surely if I take a ufo out of area 51 for a weekend in Las Vegas, as soon as my anti-gravity drive is engaged the earth will shoot off away from me as I'll no longer be part of the earth under its gravitation influence...or have I got that wrong?
20:35:14 MinceR; i suppose it might depend on a couple of things
20:35:39 MinceR; your location relative to how the earth rotates and orbits the Sun
20:36:13 MinceR; but in any case, an 'anti-gravity drive' could do things other than entirely negate gravity

03:14:27 MinceR; i don't know, gasoline seems pretty neat, too
03:14:36 IsambardPrince; Most of the stuff in that aisle are "snake oil". They won't clean up much of anything, if they clean anything at all.
03:14:48 IsambardPrince; Well, you know what I meant.
03:14:54 MinceR; :>
03:15:47 IsambardPrince; I've personally tried Gumout Regane, Gumout Multi-System Tune Up, Royal Purple Max Clean, STP 5-in-1 Complete Fuel System Cleaner, and Lucas Deep Clean.
03:16:20 IsambardPrince; None of them had any effect on my gas mileage, on driveability issues, how rough or smooth the engine seemed to run afterwards, or that damned warm restart stall out.
03:16:44 IsambardPrince; Techron improves gas mileage and seems to have gotten rid of that warm stall problem.
03:17:04 IsambardPrince; But longer term I switched to Top Tier gasoline.
03:17:29 IsambardPrince; It has higher detergency so the system should stay clean instead of constantly having to use Techron to chase "supermarket gas".
03:19:22 IsambardPrince; MinceR: Long Term it's cheaper to pay another 5 cents a gallon for the higher detergent gas, than it is to chase several tanks of bargain gas with a $13 bottle of Techron.
03:19:49 MinceR; "The chase is better than the catch!"
03:20:09 IsambardPrince; Using Techron to chase deposits left by bargain gas completely negates the gas savings and more.
03:21:06 IsambardPrince; The KIA Soul owner's manual stated if you don't use Top Tier, to use a bottle of Techron in the gas every 5,000 miles then run to nearly empty before refilling.
03:21:40 MinceR; running nearly empty also doesn't sound very wise
03:21:49 IsambardPrince; 5,000 miles on that car was roughly 185 gallons of fuel.
03:22:47 IsambardPrince; So that makes each gallon 7 cents a gallon more anyway by the time you use the bottle of Techron.
03:23:10 IsambardPrince; You could have just used Top Tier gas to begin with and never had to think about the Techron.
03:23:50 IsambardPrince; The EPA's minimum legal detergent level was not sufficient even in 1996.
03:23:58 IsambardPrince; And it will cause major problems in modern engines.
03:24:54 IsambardPrince; When the EPA issued a minimum legal standard, many gas station brands were already using more, and they decided to cut it to the minimum levels, and all these carbon buildup problems nobody had before started getting more common.
03:26:26 IsambardPrince; The Top Tier standard is an industry consortium that oil companies can sign onto. It was created because car manufacturers failed to get the government to raise the detergent requirements by law, and their cars were having problems in warranty caused by low detergency fuel that was legal to sell, but damaged cars.

18:07:35 schestowitz[TR2]; better brain exercise than rovi's angry birds
18:07:39 schestowitz[TR2]; *rovio
18:08:23 Sompi_; that does not have any hardcoded starting positions yet so it tends to lose against any real chess engines

18:08:36 Sompi_; but I tried it against Chessmaster and it sometimes wins
18:08:51 schestowitz[TR2]; i am not keeping up
18:08:55 schestowitz[TR2]; which one is strong?>
18:09:07 schestowitz[TR2]; iirc, Chessmaster is widely played against
18:09:07 Sompi_; They both are
18:09:14 schestowitz[TR2]; but is not the ground standard
18:09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; i made a mode in othello to run engines against one another
18:09:35 schestowitz[TR2]; than generate stats
18:09:38 schestowitz[TR2]; *then
18:09:39 Sompi_; But with my chess engine the starting positions are (currently) mostly randomized, it does not know any book moves
18:09:54 Sompi_; And that's why it tends to make bad initial moves
18:10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; just slop "hey hi" on it
18:10:09 schestowitz[TR2]; and ask for investment
18:10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; something something "hey hi"

18:15:50 Sompi_; I just quickly hacked that mode 13h implementation to get the game actually working
18:15:54 schestowitz[TR2]; iirc, ega was 8
18:15:58 schestowitz[TR2]; "proper" colours
18:16:14 schestowitz[TR2]; vga 16, super-vga 256
18:16:18 Sompi_; the first 16 colors of the VGA mode 13h default palette are the EGA colors
18:16:31 Sompi_; no, EGA is also 16 colors
18:16:33 schestowitz[TR2]; cga was 4?
18:16:50 Sompi_; in CGA the high-res mode is black and white, and the low-res mode is 4 colors
18:17:05 schestowitz[TR2]; do more with less
18:17:45 Sompi_; In EGA the high-res mode is either 16 or 4 colors depending on how much (128 kB or 64 kB) video ram you have
18:17:51 Sompi_; but the low-res mode is always 16 colors
18:18:05 schestowitz[TR2]; this stuff is older than you\
18:18:07 Sompi_; the 64 kB model does not have the upper two memory banks

18:18:26 Sompi_; so the exact same code works (at least when only writing to the memory) but it loses the upper two bits of the color
18:19:42 Sompi_; and that game uses only the first 16 colors of the default VGA mode 13h palette - it was originally designed to use the EGA low-res mode
18:19:49 schestowitz[TR2]; Sompi_: i was not programming until super-vga
18:19:50 Sompi_; I just need to rewrite the drawing routines
18:19:52 schestowitz[TR2]; my first pc had cga
18:20:06 schestowitz[TR2]; pascal could do rendering at pixel level
18:20:14 schestowitz[TR2]; gui with 600x800px
18:20:39 schestowitz[TR2]; did you render your own chess pieces?
18:20:43 schestowitz[TR2]; or find some stock online?
18:20:58 Sompi_; but this again shows that with clever dithering even 16 colors looks nice
18:21:06 Sompi_; I wrote a sprite editor

18:24:15 Sompi_; SDL is easy when the aim is to make DOS/low-level compatible code

18:24:53 Sompi_; Proudly

18:25:09 schestowitz[TR2]; i used it when i was very young
18:25:16 schestowitz[TR2]; but the status quo was different
18:25:29 Sompi_; Often goto is the only way to jump directly to the desired destination in the code
18:25:33 Sompi_; Other ways are inefficient and slow
18:25:46 schestowitz[TR2]; but easy to debug
18:25:49 schestowitz[TR2]; for large programs
18:25:53 schestowitz[TR2]; and keeping track of program state

18:26:27 schestowitz[TR2]; on the other hand, the code is ok
