00:31 * McMartin gets back to his Z-Machine project

<&McMartin>
Someone elsenet thought that meant I was simulating this instead of writing a game that runs on Infocom's old VM: http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/communication/computers/universal- computers/
00:31
<&McMartin>
I mention this because this is the best picture of pre-transistor universal computation ever: http://www.deutsches-museum.de/fileadmin/Content/010_DM/020_Ausstellungen/060_Ko mmunikation/040_Informatik/020_Ausstellung/050_Universalrechner/Z3_Z4/L_4503_16_ KonradZuse-vor-Z3_5.jpg

<@gnolam>
Well yes. A Z Machine is either one of Zuse's computer or a that incredibly sci fi-looking thing over at Sandia.
00:54
<&ToxicFrog>
This one? https://nycnews.net/sites/default/files/field/image/Sandia-Z-machine-Age-Saturn. png
00:55
<@gnolam>
That's the one.
00:56
<@gnolam>
Fusion research, IIRC?
00:57
<&ToxicFrog>
Mostly fusion research, of both the bomb and reactor variety.
00:57
<&ToxicFrog>
Some other miscellaneous high-energy physics research, too.
00:57
<&ToxicFrog>
Including accelerating small objects to 34 kps
00:58
<&ToxicFrog>
Which is fast enough that they would have to turn it down to put something at rest relative to the sun.
00:58
<&ToxicFrog>
(if for some reason you had a Z-machine in orbit and wanted to drop things straight down into the sun)
01:56
< simon_>
McMartin, I would've thought you meant Zuse's machine.
01:57
<&McMartin>
Yes, apparently this is a matter of some confusion!
01:57
< simon_>
but then again, when someone says "fusion research", I'd assume loop fusion (possibly fusion of higher-order functions)

< abudhabi>
Is there a Linux utility that analyzes WTF a video file actually is?
13:45
< abudhabi>
This one I have won't play, sometimes it hangs the player; once, it gave a cryptic "this is encrypted, and decrypting is not supported" message.
13:46
< abudhabi>
Trying to convert it gives an equally cryptic "Invalid pixel format string '-1'.
13:47
< abudhabi>
I'd like an analyzer or whatnot, that would let me identify if this file isn't actually a corrupt mess of bits dressed up as an m4v file.

abudhabi: ffprobe
14:21
<&ToxicFrog>
That said, the main distinguishing factor between M4V and MP4 is that M4V supports DRM.
14:24
< abudhabi>
Ugh.
14:27
< abudhabi>
ToxicFrog: ffprobe is part of what package?
14:31
< abudhabi>
OK, right, iTunes reports it is not permitted to play the file.
