[08:15] hrm. [08:15] mornin [08:16] how goes miz? [08:18] havent taken pills since thursday, had small crash for the last two days (even though i did go for relatively safe offset) [08:18] but im almost ok [08:20] I suppose that's the best anyone can ask for. [08:23] Join: Nenad joined #corewars [08:23] hi N [08:23] how's classes going miz? [08:23] hi Miz [08:23] bvowk: could be better [08:25] miz: anything good going on corewars wise? [08:25] that was an interesting picture in the channel yesterday. [08:26] it was.. retro [08:26] my most interest has been on ordinary data compression recently [08:28] what about compression? [08:29] just reading a lot about lossless [08:30] LZ*, ppm, entropy coding [08:33] interesting stuff. [08:34] its not a big challenge anymore to write something better than pkzip/deflate, since speed and memory are less of an issue [08:36] yes, we've got like 100x more computrons to blow than pkzip [08:36] still, it's not all peaches and cream, because if you're like these guys here, you burn like 60% of your latency on transactions with image deflation. [08:41] http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/text.html - not that you still couldnt blow a lot of resources [09:29] * bvowk prods nenad [09:49] * Nenad is here [09:49] * Nenad is testing some code [09:49] lies! ;) [09:50] heh [09:51] my lecture yesterday went well, though it has been a long working day. In archae logos erat. and, in the end - there was beer :P so it was a nice evening, after all [10:06] what was the lecture on? [10:09] the use of data mining in scientific research. [10:11] teaching assistants and professors from the university (mostly life sciences) were attending, 'cause they haven't been using it before, they mostly stick to statistics [10:12] I see [13:19] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [13:29] hi [13:43] hrm. [13:56] * bvowk prods fiveop with a cutlass [14:08] * bvowk makes fiveop walk the plank for idling [14:11] * Nenad makes bvowk unveil his darkest evolver secrets for making other people suffer for their rightful idling [14:11] *reveal [14:12] I released the code iddn't I? [14:13] no secrets.. just the heavy application of computrons.
