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
20:36:53 Goblin; Bob Lazar probably knows ;)

03:12:26 IsambardPrince; Elon Musk's Colossus datacenter in Tennessee is using so much groundwater that it won't be possible for natural replacement to happen quickly enough.
03:12:34 IsambardPrince; Eventually there will be void collapses and it'll go dry, and then humans that need that water will just be fucked.
03:12:44 IsambardPrince; So how does he get away with it? Same reason he gets everything he wants. He's rich, they aren't.
03:12:59 IsambardPrince; [21:30] <MinceR> my SUV gets over twice that
03:13:16 IsambardPrince; I swapped out my O2 sensors a while back and gave the car a few hits of Techron.
03:13:29 IsambardPrince; I went from about 15-16 mpg to 18-19.
03:13:33 MinceR; :>
03:14:06 IsambardPrince; Techron is the only thing that I've found that goes in the gas tank and actually solves some problems.

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.

05:25:50 schestowitz[TR2]; "I think I just had my Richard Stallman moment with a Canon printer I bought 10 years ago
05:25:50 schestowitz[TR2]; I’ve only used it 2-3 per year to print out a few pages, spent most of the time in the box

05:25:50 schestowitz[TR2]; So I’ve asked Claude to code me an updated driver
05:25:50 schestowitz[TR2]; Claude said it’s not possible due to Canon’s proprietary communication protocols that would take months of reverse engineering of USB data packets. Lots of trial and error that doesn’t guarantee success.
05:25:52 schestowitz[TR2]; I think I’m gonna smash this useless piece of plastic and buy a new printer. The issue is: how am I gonna find something that will work in a few years?! I really don’t want to pay a monthly subscription just to have a functioning printer, wtf.

18:09:07 schestowitz[TR2]; iirc, Chessmaster is widely played against

18:09:14 schestowitz[TR2]; but is not the ground standard

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

18:15:50 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

18:20:43 schestowitz[TR2]; or find some stock online?

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

18:25:49 schestowitz[TR2]; for large programs

In many cases you either had your original pension plan cut by 50% or were moved to the cash balance plan. At the time we were IBMers and very loyal and just kind of rolled with it.

It is a collection of life stories and advice and I know you would find motivation in it. Good luck."
