| Kilos | morning all | 09:52 |
|---|---|---|
| theblazehen | hi Kilos | 09:56 |
| Kilos | hi theblazehen all good? | 09:56 |
| Kilos | nice to have you back again | 09:56 |
| theblazehen | Yeah, I'm good and you Kilos ? | 09:57 |
| Kilos | good too ty | 09:57 |
| theblazehen | Just got 6 exams left :) | 09:57 |
| Kilos | nice | 09:57 |
| theblazehen | Bit stressed for 2nd math exam.. :/ | 09:59 |
| Kilos | if you know your work there is no need to stress | 10:03 |
| theblazehen | Yeah. Thing is, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get euclidean geometry | 10:04 |
| Kilos | find gremble | 10:04 |
| Kilos | he the maths man | 10:05 |
| Kilos | he might be able to explain it in a easier way | 10:05 |
| Kilos | oh he is here | 10:05 |
| theblazehen | Think I should be fine. At least this paper includes more of other stuff, so shouldn't be too much of a problem | 10:05 |
| Kilos | grumbles help the lad | 10:05 |
| theblazehen | Previous year or 2 was mostly euclidean in paper 2 | 10:06 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:06 |
| Kilos | i dont even know what that is | 10:06 |
| theblazehen | Basically circles and triangles and lines inside circles | 10:06 |
| Kilos | you int pta as well hey | 10:06 |
| theblazehen | I hate circles | 10:06 |
| theblazehen | Yeah | 10:07 |
| Kilos | haha | 10:07 |
| Kilos | so is gremble | 10:07 |
| theblazehen | yeah.Met him at sfd | 10:07 |
| Kilos | oh yes | 10:07 |
| gremble | Hey Kilos | 10:13 |
| gremble | Hey theblazehen What don't you get with Euclidean Geometry | 10:14 |
| theblazehen | gremble: Like, I know the theorems and stuff, and like I can do stuff individualy with one or two theorems involved. | 10:15 |
| gremble | Where do you struggle? | 10:16 |
| theblazehen | The problem comes in when they add like lots of lines, and you need to use different theorems, and like when they involve multiple circles etc | 10:16 |
| theblazehen | I just don't "see" how to get the answer | 10:16 |
| gremble | Ah alright. Yes, it gets a little difficult to discern the various problems. That is no problem on your understanding though, that is an experience problem | 10:17 |
| theblazehen | yeah. Thing is, I practise as much as I can - I often, even after like 30 min can't see the solution sometimes | 10:17 |
| gremble | I take really long to get experience intuituin, where fundamental reasoning over the problem is practically instantaneous. So different parts have different difficulties | 10:17 |
| gremble | theblazehen: That is me with Differential Equations :P | 10:18 |
| theblazehen | Yeah | 10:18 |
| theblazehen | ah, lol | 10:18 |
| gremble | I passed that by eating and sleeping DE's. People thought I was going crazy because I would not go anywhere without a set of questions to work out | 10:18 |
| gremble | Waiting on line? Doing problems :P | 10:19 |
| theblazehen | Heh, yeah | 10:22 |
| theblazehen | I actually got a really great way of concentrating :) Like, idk how to describe it. The kind of concentrating where you don't focus on anything else. Did my physics exam like that, finished in 1:30, most people in like 2:40 | 10:23 |
| theblazehen | And could have studied the whole night through the day before if I wanted to, without being tired on the day :) | 10:23 |
| theblazehen | Think I'll do that again for the math exam | 10:23 |
| gremble | I wish I had the ability to concentrate like that | 10:41 |
| gremble | I've only been able to concentrate properly while using something like ritalin or THC | 10:42 |
| theblazehen | Heh, I used meds for that actually | 10:42 |
| theblazehen | Well, more _lack_ of meds :) | 10:42 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 11:16 |
| theblazehen | hi inetpro. Not so morning anymore :) | 11:17 |
| inetpro | oops | 11:17 |
| gremble | Hey inetpro | 11:19 |
| inetpro | oh hello gremble as well | 11:19 |
| inetpro | hot in Pretoria again today | 11:20 |
| theblazehen | Yeah. Should go up to 31 today | 11:21 |
| inetpro | sadly the minimums are too low for any rains | 11:22 |
| gremble | Its horrible. I have a fever as well, so I'm not very impressed | 11:22 |
| theblazehen | Yeah, 12% chance of precipitation | 11:22 |
| inetpro | is it not a matter of 12% quantity of precipitation? | 11:25 |
| inetpro | or the probability of 12% quantity? | 11:25 |
| gremble | What is a 100% quantity of percipitation? | 11:25 |
| * inetpro get very confused with these forecasts | 11:26 | |
| inetpro | never know what it really means | 11:26 |
| gremble | :P It is a probability of percipitation | 11:26 |
| theblazehen | I think 100% is 100% chance of rain | 11:26 |
| gremble | There are so many variables to take into account to predict rain, that they have to use statistical models | 11:27 |
| gremble | (most weather is statistical models) | 11:27 |
| theblazehen | gremble: Fun fact, there is a distributed computing project that models climate change | 11:27 |
| gremble | It's because weather is a chaos system, so it always has probabilistic outcomes, no matter how well you think you know the forces at play | 11:28 |
| gremble | theblazehen: And it is most of the time probably wrong :P | 11:28 |
| gremble | well no | 11:28 |
| gremble | sorry, I read that incorrectly | 11:28 |
| gremble | Climate change it can model | 11:28 |
| theblazehen | gremble: Well, it's planning long term, not short term weather | 11:28 |
| gremble | but not weather forcasting | 11:28 |
| theblazehen | yeah | 11:28 |
| theblazehen | Ran that for a while | 11:28 |
| theblazehen | www.climateprediction.net | 11:29 |
| inetpro | I see wikipedia talking about probability of precipitation (POP) usually expresses a combination of degree of confidence and areal coverage | 11:29 |
| theblazehen | Wow, I made vlc segfaullt | 11:31 |
| gremble | Odd. | 11:33 |
| gremble | I'd think that projects like that ran extensive valgrind testing to prevent shit like that | 11:34 |
| theblazehen | gremble: Yeah, opened a mkv from the cli, crashes. Opening it from the media menu in vlc has no problem | 11:34 |
| theblazehen | Should I file a bug report you think? | 11:35 |
| gremble | Yup | 11:36 |
| gremble | My friend usually has me edit is documents and often says that he can learn a lot about writing from me, but he still vehemently fights with me whenever I tell him to not use the passive voice in writing or to not just list facts, etc. | 11:38 |
| theblazehen | heh. Those kinds of people.. | 11:39 |
| theblazehen | Welp, firefox crashed.. | 15:30 |
| theblazehen | And I can't open any new windows of anything.. | 15:30 |
| theblazehen | Oh.. Maximum number of clients reached?! | 15:31 |
| theblazehen | Something I can duckduckgo :) | 15:31 |
| inetpro | Kilos: why so quiet on this hot Saturday evening? | 17:52 |
| Kilos | just cruising | 17:53 |
| Kilos | flat on my back with the idiot box making a noise | 17:53 |
| inetpro | surely you must be enjoying this heat? | 17:53 |
| Kilos | i love it | 17:53 |
| Kilos | 35 tomorrow | 17:54 |
| inetpro | ai! | 17:54 |
| Kilos | i can ctach some UV's | 17:55 |
| Kilos | catch | 17:55 |
| inetpro | if only that helped to charge my batteries | 17:55 |
| Kilos | ai! | 17:56 |
| inetpro | I'm afraid my battery goes flat very quickly with such heat | 17:56 |
| Kilos | no loadshedding till april | 17:56 |
| theblazehen | Yay! Guess I can play with ZFS then :) | 18:08 |

| Kilos | night all . sleep tight | 18:55 |
| magespawn | good evening | 19:25 |

| gremble | Hello | 23:33 |
| gremble | Most people are only online from like 08:00-ish to 22:00 or 23:00 though | 23:34 |
| Vlekkie | But take that it's off topic then? | 23:37 |

| gremble | See you around | 23:40 |
| Vlekkie | One last thing, anyone know what the best irc client for Android is? | 23:41 |
| gremble | I've heard good things about irccloud. I use Andirc or something like that | 23:42 |
| gremble | I used to at least | 23:42 |
| Vlekkie | I'm using "Andchat" ATM and seems good , but wonder if there is better? | 23:42 |
| gremble | Oh, yes that is the one that I used | 23:42 |
| Vlekkie | Okay thanks cheers :) | 23:43 |
