| 00:02.54 | darth_mall | I wonder if there's any coffee left |
| 00:03.00 | scanline | not unless you made more |
| 00:03.05 | darth_mall | damn |
| 00:03.21 | scanline | yay, navi and wasabi should always be available as fyre rendering nodes now |
| 00:03.25 | scanline | as long as wasabi's on at least |
| 00:03.44 | scanline | this one's awfully slow to render |
| 00:03.57 | scanline | the center gets to 1.2 million peak density and the edges still look grainy |
| 00:04.24 | darth_mall | lurgy: how do you make treaties? |
| 00:06.24 | lurgy | darth_mall: well, when two older treaties meet each other, and love each other *very* much.. |
| 00:06.54 | darth_mall | ohhh |
| 00:06.55 | darth_mall | I see |
| 00:07.32 | purple_cow | rofl |
| 00:08.20 | gonkulator | ok, time to go fix my aunt's box... again |
| 00:09.44 | scanline | hah |
| 00:10.14 | scanline | even with a histogram merge only every 10 seconds, it's taking about 300KB/s per node to cluster-render a 1600x1200 image with 2x oversample |
| 00:10.41 | scanline | the render servers are probably using 8MB stream buffers for this one |
| 00:14.30 | scanline | heh, purple_cow's ctrlproxy on navi is still using more memory than the fyre server :P |
| 00:14.57 | purple_cow | blah |
| 00:15.30 | lurgy | darth_mall: i don't think you can make treaties until you meet the other civ |

| 01:01.32 | scanline | yay |
| 01:01.48 | scanline | 1.486e+10 iterations |
| 01:02.59 | purple_cow | how long did that take? |
| 01:03.08 | scanline | hmm, good question |
| 01:03.12 | scanline | this GUI needs a timer |
| 01:03.29 | scanline | looks like 55 minutes of CPU time on wasabi |
| 01:03.40 | purple_cow | wow |
| 01:03.43 | scanline | so close to an hour with three nodes |
| 01:03.59 | scanline | and yoshi's CPU was also busy with md5summing and updating the GUI |
| 01:13.11 | hardwire | thats perty |
| 01:14.45 | scanline | http://navi.cx/images/chaos/46-1600.png |
| 01:14.46 | scanline | mmm |
| 01:15.03 | purple_cow | too much blur |
| 01:15.04 | scanline | 3x oversample |
| 01:15.09 | hardwire | its perty |
| 01:15.35 | scanline | purple_cow: I think it helps reduce the contrast of this big orange thing against solid white |
| 01:15.54 | purple_cow | i'd reduce either the radius or the ratio just a bit |
| 01:17.57 | scanline | just the histogram buffer is about 65MB :) |
| 01:19.51 | hardwire | Overlapping Big Spheres 1600 is me new background |
| 01:19.56 | hardwire | its very QT esque! |
| 01:26.26 | scanline | and tileable! |
| 01:27.16 | hardwire | oh la! |
| 01:27.38 | hardwire | you know |
| 01:27.42 | hardwire | its too big for my screen anyways |
| 01:27.46 | hardwire | so I wouldn't know ;) |
| 01:28.10 | hardwire | how did you get it tileable? |
| 01:28.10 | scanline | purple_cow: yeah, that did turn out a bit better |
| 01:28.37 | scanline | hardwire: it's an option in fyre- makes the histogram buffer wrap around on the edges |
| 01:28.53 | hardwire | neat |
| 01:28.58 | hardwire | on all 8 sides |
| 01:29.03 | scanline | 8? |
| 01:29.09 | hardwire | sorry |
| 01:29.18 | hardwire | 4 ;) |
| 01:29.25 | hardwire | I am thinking of bad things at the moment. |
| 01:29.40 | scanline | 6 sides would be neat |
| 01:30.09 | scanline | I don't have nearly enough money for RAM though |
| 01:31.11 | purple_cow | hmm. allison goldfrapp dresses awfully scantily in her concerts |
| 01:32.32 | purple_cow | and she's wearing a tail... |
| 01:32.42 | scanline | hehe |
| 01:33.31 | ChipX86 | yay tails |
| 01:33.47 | kergoth | weird, my left shoulder hurts for some reason, out of nowhere |
| 01:38.17 | scanline | purple_cow: oh, I had this strange urge to build a data glove last night. 3-axis accelerometer for measuring hand orientation, and capacitive sensors on all fingertips and the palm |
| 01:38.40 | scanline | could probably be done for $30 or so in parts |
| 01:38.57 | scanline | well, more if you count the PCB |
| 01:42.43 | scanline | well, if you could measure distance between any pair of fingertips, you could get a pretty good idea of finger orientation |
| 01:43.00 | scanline | and it would involve some passive components and an op-amp, rather than three accelerometers |
| 01:43.26 | scanline | the accelerometers are quite cheap now, but they're a little large to put on each fingertip still |
| 01:47.07 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:47.13 | scanline | I definitely need to play with ethernet on microcontrollers more |
| 01:47.43 | scanline | steve's dream for spacegrant's next satellite is that every subsystem has an independent computer, all connected via ethernet |
| 01:47.52 | purple_cow | eek |
| 01:47.55 | scanline | and the comm system is just a router between the radio and a local ethernet hub |
| 01:48.02 | scanline | it would be quite spiffy |
| 01:48.24 | scanline | the subsystem computers could be little Atmel AVRs running a simple RTOS, connected to 10baseT ethernet chips |
| 01:48.39 | scanline | more complex subsystems could use an ARM running uClinux or something |
