| 22:02 | <@gnolam> | To diff or not to diff, that is the question. |
| 22:03 | | * gnolam proposes mandatory castration for people who don't bother to actually comment what they're checking into SVN. |
| 22:38 | | * ToxicFrog starts a run of 49,000 32-iteration ant colony optimizations. |
| 22:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | This could take a while. |
| 22:39 | <@EvilDarkLord> | What are you trying to optimise here, exactly? |
| 22:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, "ant colony optimization" is in fact an algorithm for mostly-solving TSP in reasonable time. |
| 22:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | It is unlikely to get the best answer, but when properly tuned it can come very close very quickly. |
| 22:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | I need to analyze some of its properties. |
| 22:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | Although the part were I need to graph an equation of four variables may present difficulties. |
| 22:46 | <@gnolam> | Color. |
| 22:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...how does that help? |
| 22:47 | <@gnolam> | And time. |
| 22:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Remember, this means I need five axes! |
| 22:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. Ok, that could work. |
| 22:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Except that I can't use time here. |
| 22:48 | <@gnolam> | Well, $generic_slider then. |
| 22:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | Possibly I'll just graph the interesting stuff, like the effects of alpha and beta. |
| 22:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | I mean, I can't do any sort of responsive stuff, the output needs to be static |
| 22:49 | <@gnolam> | Ah. |
| 22:49 | <@gnolam> | Transparent voxels then? ;) |
| 22:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...hmm. This looks like it will take around a day and a half. |
| 22:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | I can't wait that long. |
| 22:53 | <@gnolam> | Invert the polarity and crank it up to 11. |
| 22:53 | <@AnnoDomini> | Rewrite the thing in assembler? :p |
| 22:54 | | * ToxicFrog increases the granularity of a few of the axes and cuts the number of tests in each run to 32, pulling it down to 8 hours or so |
| 22:58 | | * ToxicFrog wonders why these results look so terrible, then realizes it's because the initial hour or so will be running with alpha and beta == 0 |
| 23:16 | | GeekSoldier [~Rob@Nightstar-5675.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #code |
| 23:31 | | * AnnoDomini searches the net for a commandline word counter, with poor results. |
| 23:31 | <@AnnoDomini> | The only thing of any use I found underestimates the amount of words by about 45%. |
| 23:32 | <@EvilDarkLord> | If you want to install Python I can write you one. |
| 23:33 | <@AnnoDomini> | Naw. It's not important enough for such drastic measures. :p |
| 23:33 | < GeekSoldier> | mrr.? you are refusing a python install? |
| 23:33 | <@AnnoDomini> | What if I am? |
| 23:35 | < GeekSoldier> | nothing. just great. :) |
| 23:36 | | * AnnoDomini has quite enough performance problems without installing more stuffs. |
| 23:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | 3083 1927 1706 1777 1677 1709 1633 1605 1602 1449 1499 1515 1617 1649 1564 1507 1449 -- behold the power of ACO |
| 23:37 | <@AnnoDomini> | What is the correct answer here? |
| 23:37 | < GeekSoldier> | 2.718281828..... |
| 23:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | Random-walk came up with an initial path length of 3083. |
| 23:37 | | * AnnoDomini laughs. |
| 23:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | IT then converged on an answer with a path length of 1449. |
| 23:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | (the shortest path is around 1250) |
| 23:38 | < GeekSoldier> | sorry, I just like to find e everywhere. |
| 23:41 | <@AnnoDomini> | Ah, there. Finally, something which gives the correct result. |
| 23:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | Didn't "wc" work? |
| 23:43 | <@AnnoDomini> | Win98SE doesn't have that, IIRC. |
| 23:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | Oh. Right. I keep forgetting. |
| 23:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | No windows does, although it should be in both unxutils and gnuwin32. |
| 23:46 | <@AnnoDomini> | Lately, I've been sort of drawn to utilities made for DOS. Dunno why. |
| 23:53 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hrm. Anybody know of a way to force COPY to go through the files in alpabetical order, when using a wildcard rather than specifying every file in the command line? |
