| 04:02.23 | levi | elg: pong |
| 04:08.53 | elg | i figured it out |
| 04:09.07 | elg | i was going crazy, because I had the wrong figure for the complexity of the algorithm I was trying to estimate for |
| 04:09.22 | levi | What was it? |
| 04:09.53 | elg | fibonacci recursive is Ω(1.6^n) not Ω(n^2) |
| 04:10.37 | levi | Hmm, no unicode here. What's the ? |
| 04:10.41 | elg | omega |
| 04:10.46 | elg | big omega |
| 04:10.50 | levi | OK |
| 04:11.25 | levi | I figured it was that or the big Theta. |
| 04:11.52 | levi | But I'm rusty with my algorithm analysis anyway, so I probably wouldn't have been much help. |
| 04:12.28 | elg | well, it's fairly straightforward. implement the algorithm and measure a few, then estimate how big an n can be computed in under 5 minutes. |
| 04:12.35 | elg | 1.6^n = t/x |
| 04:12.44 | elg | n = log_1.6 t/x |
| 04:12.51 | elg | works like a charm |
| 04:13.06 | levi | Measuring is cheating. ;) |
| 04:13.32 | elg | but when you try to do the same estimate with n^2 = t/x, your predictions don't match up with reality :) |
| 04:13.50 | elg | well, you have to measure the constant factor |
| 04:14.02 | elg | i mean, even if you break it down into assembly instructions, you still have to measure the clock speed |
| 04:14.56 | elg | well, off to bed |

| 04:39.22 | levi | I've never heard anyone mention the margins of their printer before. |
| 04:39.48 | mrpull-x | i had a photo printer that printed edge to edge |
| 04:39.52 | mrpull-x | it was sweet |
| 04:39.56 | mrpull-x | for like 4 photos |
| 04:40.00 | levi | Heh. |
| 04:40.07 | mrpull-x | then it stunk to high heaven |
| 04:40.16 | levi | Why's that? |
| 04:40.30 | mrpull-x | it just started printing like crap |
| 04:40.40 | levi | I don't find usage of the paper trimmer to be terribly odious, so I don't mind margins on my photos. |
| 04:40.44 | mrpull-x | i replaced all of the ink carts to no avail |
| 04:41.01 | klys | hmm, probably clogged |
| 04:41.09 | levi | mrpull-x: Did you use the printer frequently, or did you let it sit for a long time? |
| 04:41.18 | klys | did you print some photos without cleaning it? |
| 04:41.25 | mrpull-x | i think it fell victim to infrequent use |
| 04:41.52 | levi | Yeah, that was the fate of all my inkjet printers until I got married. :) |
| 04:41.55 | mrpull-x | it didn't matter how much i cleaned it |
| 04:42.07 | mrpull-x | my wife just takes the images to macy's now |
| 04:42.19 | mrpull-x | i like the output better and I think the costs are about the same |
| 04:42.32 | mrpull-x | (considering all the time and money i wasted on that photo printer) |
| 04:42.35 | levi | Yeah, printing at home on an inkjet is usually a waste of money. |
| 04:42.57 | mrpull-x | but I do look at that first 8x10 i printed and admire it |
| 04:43.05 | mrpull-x | and wonder wtf went wrong so soon |
| 04:43.08 | levi | inkjet ink is horribly expensive, and photo printing takes a lot of it. |
| 04:43.23 | klys | you could try this: slap two each 768x480 jpegs together and print out in 8x10 at the store |

| 04:57.11 | klys | 2560 x 1600 |
| 04:58.03 | klys | that's a little over dualmon 1600x1200 |
| 04:58.43 | klys | 320 dpi should look pretty enough |
| 04:59.48 | klys | so all that you'd have to do is measure the size of a 2560 x 3200 jpeg |
| 05:00.42 | klys | and use 320x200 thumbnails |
| 05:01.46 | klys | on a 96 dpi monitor, those are 3 1/3 x 2 " |
| 05:02.02 | klys | oh, I should ask you your screen resolution too |
| 05:02.11 | mrpull-x | what is my resolution? |

| 05:02.39 | mrpull-x | at work i have 2 1600x1200 20" |
| 05:02.41 | klys | ok |
| 05:02.51 | mrpull-x | at home it is some goofy 16x10 res |
| 05:02.59 | mrpull-x | nnn x 900? |
| 05:03.03 | klys | hmm |
| 05:04.31 | mrpull-x | it is 1680x1050 |
| 05:04.53 | mrpull-x | it think two 1600x1200 is just about right |
| 05:05.03 | mrpull-x | three might be nice... but a bit over the top |
| 05:05.48 | klys | this is interesting, 20^2 == 16^2 + 12^2 |
| 05:12.51 | mrpull-x | isnt that a 3-4-5 triangle? Golden? |
| 05:13.12 | klys | so that means your 20" screens are 100 dpi, pretty close to 96 |
| 05:14.16 | klys | 3 1/5 x 2 " thumbnails |
| 05:18.54 | mrpull-x | errr... i was mistaken. 3-4-5's are not Golden Triangles |

| 16:09.17 | fozzmoo | levi: I didn't see it... My comment was generally that panel discussions should have larger audiences. |
| 16:09.58 | sontek | The distro throwdown needed to be moderated, everyone started talking in their own groups and there was no intelligent discussions |
| 16:10.04 | levi | Well, the idea sounded to me like a waste of time. |
| 16:10.24 | fozzmoo | moderation of panel discussions is a good idea. |
| 16:10.44 | levi | Yeah, but it'd take some serious moderation to turn a 'distro throwdown' into a useful conversation. |
| 16:11.34 | levi | Might as well have a programming editor throwdown. :P |
| 16:11.56 | synic | there was a programming language throwdown, but I think only 3 or 4 people showed up for it |
| 16:12.16 | elg | grr. why can't i ever remember how to make a vector of numbers in R that hist likes? and, why can't hist just take a normal vector or table or whatever this is by default? why do there have to be two kinds of vectors? |
| 16:12.50 | levi | I was thinking of learning R for my stats class, but maybe I should stick with a spreadsheet. |
| 16:12.58 | findlay-w | ~date |
| 16:12.59 | ibot | It is now 2007.09.11 16:12:59 GMT |
| 16:13.29 | findlay-w | no way, levi, use raw BLAS calls, in C! |
| 16:14.35 | levi | This is a stupid stats class at UVSC, not linear algebra. |
| 16:15.00 | findlay-w | don't they have precanned excel files then? |
| 16:16.01 | levi | Dude, all you have to do is enter stuff in tables. You don't need precanned files. |
| 16:16.13 | levi | Most stats functions are built-in. |
| 16:16.41 | findlay-w | why bother entering data by hand then? |
| 16:17.29 | findlay-w | automatically collected data these days never leaves the computer from sensor to database |
| 16:17.35 | Supaplex | because esp picks up too many distractions |
| 16:17.48 | levi | Because it's a stupid class. They have to make you do /something/ they can grade. |
| 16:17.52 | findlay-w | heh |
| 16:18.51 | levi | Actually, things will probably get a little more interesting later when we move beyond the utter basics. |
| 16:19.06 | elg | levi: it might take a bit more learning curve to use R, but I highly recommend it |
| 16:19.11 | elg | especially while in a stats class |
| 16:19.26 | elg | R is a useful tool to have at your fingertips |
| 16:19.53 | levi | Yeah, probably so. |
| 16:19.58 | levi | I have it installed on my Mac. |
| 16:20.06 | levi | Darned thing is running out of hard drive space. |

| 16:21.24 | levi | But only about 1/4 as fast as 30Gb. |
| 16:21.40 | Supaplex | depends on the rpm ;) but yeah. |

| 16:26.34 | Supaplex | I haven't installed longhorn yet. that machine needs one last inspection before I nuke it. |
| 16:26.40 | decriptor | although you can run longhorn core |
| 16:27.29 | Supaplex | the docs say 20gb is the core install. right? |
| 16:27.38 | Supaplex | or was it higher? |
| 16:27.48 | decriptor | yeah I think you can get it down to 15 |
| 16:28.09 | decriptor | 20 is a soft limit there is a hard limit that you can't get around |
