[00:28] : ) [00:28] my evolved warrior has made it onto the beginner hill ! [00:29] score 103.7, i left my evolver running all day while i was at work to get to it [00:29] i am enthused >:) [05:36] congrats [05:36] my phone kept bugging me about your submissions hehe [05:37] i was watching em improve until that one which listed a higher score slightly and still didn't make it (scrollback explained why) [05:52] MSG: Read error: Operation timed out [07:14] Join: ExcelsisD joined #corewars [07:17] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [11:43] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [12:28] Join: alexander joined #corewars [12:37] Join: dusk joined #corewars [13:19] Hi :-) [13:43] Join: flyduck joined #corewars [13:44] Hi Flyduck [13:46] hello :) [13:48] How's your evolver working? Any more progress? [13:50] not since one of my evolutions made it on the hill yesterday, but ill be working more on it today [13:50] i have a few ideas in store.. [13:51] and there's still a really strange bug i cant quite figure out involving the start label [14:00] Nick Change: ExcelsisD changed nick to NorthStar [15:01] Part: dusk left #corewars [15:40] MSG: Read error: Operation timed out [17:39] hrm. [17:40] Hmmm... [17:40] how's it going met? [17:42] Fine, thanks. How about for you? [17:43] pretty fair. [17:43] first day back at work.. bleh. [17:45] :-( [17:50] Join: flyduck joined #corewars [18:47] hey met.. [18:47] how close is your tiny bench to the scores I'd see on a hill? [18:49] Last time I checked, 10 points different [18:49] Tiny is difficult due to all the oneshots [18:49] If a oneshot has a slightly different step, the score can be substantially different [18:49] MSG: Read error: Operation timed out [18:51] Join: flyduck joined #corewars [18:52] Join: chahibi joined #corewars [18:58] Is it just me, or does anyone else think of Knuth when they see MMIX at the end of programs on TV? :-) [18:58] Hi Chahibi [18:59] Part: NorthStar left #corewars [19:02] heh [19:02] it's not just you met. [19:02] 10 points up or down met? [19:02] what's MMIX? [19:04] and hi ;) [19:07] it's http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html [19:10] Benchmark = usually 10 points above what the hill score would be [19:13] aww.. [19:13] I was hoping you'd say the other way :) [19:27] Submit something anyway, the oneshots really mess up any attempt to make a realistic benchmark. [19:31] maybe I should do my final benching against inf nano [19:31] er.. tiny. [19:34] Yes, good idea [19:36] If I've got any unpublished warriors on the hill, you're welcome to a copy [19:36] inference prolly [19:49] Sent :-) It's a oneshot with a backward clear [20:00] Join: NorthStar joined #corewars [20:52] Okay, who's the expert on hashing here? [20:54] Any reason I shouldn't choose open addressing over chaining? [20:56] chaining is faster I think [20:57] to read. slower to insert [20:58] And less data structure to maintain :-) [20:58] memory usage depends on the data you are storing [21:00] wikipedia appears to have good info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Open_addressing_versus_chaining [21:01] what are you trying to hash metcalf? :) [21:02] * flyduck wishes to himself he had a collection of 10 or so good warrior for benchmarking [21:05] Just reading Wikipedia now. [21:05] flyduck: http://corewar.co.uk/bench.htm [21:09] Metcalf, beautiful :D thanks! [22:31] MSG: Quit: humhum [22:39] hrm. [22:41] bvowk, i just spend 30 minutes writing my own convert.pl because i didnt realize you had already made the same script ! [23:42] Is anyone familiar with LZ77? [23:59] i'm wikipedia-familiar [23:59] * Metcalf too
