| knightw0rk | zmoylan-pi: i heard the cyberpunk librarian talk about it on his show | 12:03 |
| knightw0rk | apparently there are still bbs severs connected to the net on port 22 | 12:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | i hope they support kermit... i can't stand those namby pamby wishy washy fiddly new file transfer protocols... :-D | 12:04 |
| knightw0rk | would just like to know how you connect and what is still there | 12:16 |

| diddledan | (1hr 15min) | 13:45 |
| SuperMatt | another product that was clearly invented somewhere else, but now has a new name | 13:45 |
| diddledan | no live steam today | 13:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | a cheap ipad. well for apple... 0 ports to make charging more fun... it'll be like an etch a sketch. shake it to charge it... keeps kids fit too... :-) | 13:48 |
| daftykins | y'know the super skinny 12" macbooks launched ~2015 or so? they've all begun having the keyboards fail / a component on the board fails rendering them useless :D | 14:01 |
| diddledan | yey | 14:03 |
| daftykins | at least Louis on youtube has been seeing a large influx of them | 14:04 |
| diddledan | didn't those have a weird keyspring that people universally hated? | 14:04 |
| daftykins | yeah new design that's super clacky | 14:05 |
| diddledan | GNU Terry Pratchett | 14:05 |
| diddledan | oh you didn't mean clacks overhead | 14:06 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/TunnelsUp/status/976536957751910400 | 14:10 |
| daftykins | they've never heard of "dial before you dig!" | 14:25 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/978647405196402688 does anyone else think of the Matt LeBlanc version of Lost In Space when you see or hear the word "blorp"? | 15:01 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/settern/status/978648488614551553 what's an "apple pencil style drawing"? | 15:03 |
| diddledan | apple are helping out in schools: https://images.scribblelive.com/2018/3/27/588b500c-ca48-48cb-80e8-ed59c82ed593.jpg (shot taken last week) | 15:08 |
| diddledan | Huston, we have an iPad. | 15:19 |

| daftykins | * Houston :D | 15:39 |
| diddledan | spillage chucker didn't complain....! | 15:39 |
| daftykins | funny part was reading yours wiped my memory of the real one for a minute | 15:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | the matt leblanc version of lost in space is the first movie i stopped watching half way through after renting it... awful | 15:41 |
| diddledan | snob | 15:42 |
| daftykins | did you rewind the tape in anger? | 15:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | of course | 15:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | and i'll watch the worst sci fi but that lost in space was a step too far... | 15:43 |
| diddledan | well they're rebooting it so you get another chance to hate it | 15:44 |
| daftykins | i just had flashbacks to all the sound effects my parents 80s VCR made during every function | 15:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | and you could tell from the motor whine how close it was to the end of the tape... | 15:46 |
| diddledan | eeeerrrrkk chunter chunter chunter clip | 15:46 |
| diddledan | click* | 15:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | top loading sony tank vcr... also known as the cat tosser... for reasons... | 15:46 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: yes xD | 15:47 |
| diddledan | tosser! | 15:47 |
| diddledan | apparently Apple used Swift to make Swift Playgrounds. duh | 15:48 |
| diddledan | http://www.twitter.com/settern/status/978659825746931713 | 15:48 |
| diddledan | and the curriculum goes "from step one" to the end | 15:49 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/settern/status/978660024162676736 | 15:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | a is for apple™️ | 15:51 |
| diddledan | apple are replacing teachers with unpaid workers: http://www.twitter.com/reneritchie/status/978660893331304448 | 15:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | school arts and crafts is now assemble apple gear... | 15:54 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i think it might be more efficient to wait for a wrap up piece ;) | 15:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | but then he can't bounce up and down with excitement over a $329 9.7" ipad | 16:00 |
| diddledan | $30 off for students! | 16:00 |
| diddledan | that's a whopping 9% | 16:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | unless they want to use an ipencil in which case add $99 | 16:00 |
| diddledan | nah, sturends get $10 off that ! :-p | 16:01 |
| diddledan | wtf is a sturend? | 16:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | sturgeons pretenting to be students... | 16:01 |
| diddledan | I think that's it for the show | 16:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | so... interesting but probably not enough to halt google. they might jump over ms though | 16:03 |
| daftykins | MS don't have tablets? | 16:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | they have surface pros. but apple are at 17% v ms 22% and googles 60% in education market | 16:04 |
| daftykins | they're obviously not in the same segment though, lowest tier iPads + Surfaces | 16:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | and the surface pro although it has had great reviews has had terrible hardware failure rates | 16:05 |
| daftykins | in the first two generations yeah | 16:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | that might be enough to sink it | 16:05 |
| daftykins | they properly had the customers test 'em ;D | 16:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | well it seems to have passed the customer banging their head against the desk it's resting on... | 16:13 |
| diddledan | apparently nvidia are doing something, too: https://www.ustream.tv/gpu-technology-conference | 16:18 |
| daftykins | maybe unveiling their new 'volta' gen at last | 16:19 |
| daftykins | he's got his trademark leather jacket! | 16:20 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/marciahofmann/status/978637746855006210 | 16:22 |
| daftykins | sheesh | 16:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | the nvidia bitcoin miner card... :-) | 16:25 |
| diddledan | htf are they doing realtime raytracing?! | 16:26 |
| diddledan | hah, ok $68000 computer | 16:28 |
| daftykins | a piece i read the other day with Tim Sweeney from Epic said... yeah, 4 graphics cards in one | 16:28 |
| diddledan | sigh. deep learning | 16:30 |
| diddledan | bingo! | 16:30 |
| diddledan | who didn't have deep learning on their bingo card?? | 16:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | trump? | 16:30 |
| diddledan | lol: https://twitter.com/kylealden/status/978674740406640640 | 16:47 |
| daftykins | "and where's the machine you do real work on?" | 16:48 |
| daftykins | ergh these images are too small in the nvidia pres | 16:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | you mean my emacs console? :-) https://78.media.tumblr.com/42076a3e5a77a0ff6e3fa93567e1f9aa/tumblr_p62jdzvyqb1qz6f9yo1_1280.jpg | 16:52 |
| diddledan | is that kim jong-un at the end? | 16:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | so far away you can't tell... | 16:52 |
| daftykins | nah that's Shatner | 16:57 |
| daftykins | ;) | 16:57 |
| diddledan | that's a beast nvidia thingy | 17:11 |
| diddledan | the 16 Tesla V100 | 17:11 |
| diddledan | DGX-2 | 17:11 |
| diddledan | 2 petafloppies | 17:12 |
| diddledan | 10kiloWatts, though, is probably meaning it is a bit too beafy for my cupboard | 17:12 |
| daftykins | diddledan: time to pop one under your desk | 17:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | you'll need *2* hamsters in wheels to power it! | 17:13 |
| daftykins | oof that's going to double his infrastructure | 17:13 |
| diddledan | frak | 17:13 |
| diddledan | that means twice the gruel expenditure | 17:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | the costs in wd40 alone to stop the wheels squeaking at night... | 17:14 |
| diddledan | I prefer using children to hamsters, anyway.. they're less needy | 17:15 |
| diddledan | and easily replaced | 17:15 |
| daftykins | that's true | 17:16 |
| daftykins | your siblings stop answering the orders pretty quickly though | 17:16 |
| diddledan | $1.5 meeeleon dollar | 17:18 |
| diddledan | oh alright, 399 fowsand | 17:18 |
| daftykins | his needle needs to be nudged, he keeps getting stuck! | 17:20 |
| diddledan | apparently it's RTM day: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/155147/windows-10-redstone-4-rtm-released-insiders | 17:22 |
| === Nina is now known as Guest82230 | ||
| daftykins | oh my | 17:23 |
| diddledan | is it me, or is the nvidia dude a bit looney? | 17:28 |
| daftykins | i think like he said it's just because he's not prepared xD | 17:28 |
| diddledan | aye | 17:28 |
| daftykins | but yeah there's a lot of nuttery here | 17:29 |
| daftykins | degenerator networks? | 17:29 |
| diddledan | lol he got lost | 17:29 |
| diddledan | I don't blame him though, machine learning acronyms are terrible | 17:30 |
| daftykins | earlier though he kept badgering that guy to speak, then kept talking over him | 17:31 |
| daftykins | diddledan: there we go he just referenced us! | 17:35 |
| diddledan | d'oh I was concentrating elsewhere | 17:35 |
| daftykins | oh he just said "all the people watching this online will be saying i've lost it" | 17:36 |
| diddledan | aha lol | 17:36 |
| daftykins | it doesn't matter if it's one, all it's doing is a swoosh across a bunch of flower pics! | 17:38 |
| daftykins | diddledan: looks like consumer news is coming :O | 17:44 |
| daftykins | think it was on a different day last year though | 17:44 |
| diddledan | that's a name | 17:46 |
| diddledan | noise to noise denoising | 17:47 |
| diddledan | what noise annoys a noisy oyster? | 17:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah shucks? | 18:10 |
| diddledan | nah, a noisy noise annoys a noisy oyster | 18:13 |
| diddledan | I had an awesome problem with my Win10 Insider install.. too many C:\Windows.old(n) where n is a number that it refused to let me delete... until I used the Windows Subsystem for Linux and deleted them from that | 22:34 |
| daftykins | xD | 22:37 |
| daftykins | disk cleanup wizard does 'em too | 22:37 |
| diddledan | nope | 22:37 |
| diddledan | only does non numbered ones | 22:38 |
| daftykins | oic | 22:38 |
| daftykins | that's a bit fail | 22:38 |
| diddledan | i.e. only C:\Windows.old not C:\Windows.old(1) | 22:38 |
| daftykins | but then so is running insider! | 22:38 |
| daftykins | y'got that RTM build now, then? | 22:38 |
| diddledan | not yet. I haven't let it reboot | 22:38 |
| daftykins | ah so you're testing it like a standard Windows user, stubbornly avoiding updates ;D | 22:40 |
| diddledan | yup. you can't find all the bugs unless you defer updates for weeks | 22:42 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 22:42 |
| diddledan | letting yourself get hacked by running a non-updated release, through a hole that they've since fixed, is a bug, right? | 22:45 |
| daftykins | probably to someone :D | 22:47 |
| * diddledan watching an fbi drama.. is it appropriate to use weapons from the evidence locker to kill bad guys? | 22:47 | |
| daftykins | oh speaking of bugs and what not, my Asus Z170 mobo finally got the update with the new microcode in after the recent dramas, you had one for your board too? i forget if it was gigabyte or MSI | 22:48 |
| diddledan | yup, mine's the giganut z170-ud5 th | 22:48 |
| diddledan | I installed that about a week ago maybe? | 22:48 |
| daftykins | ah maybe they're just a lot quicker | 22:49 |
| daftykins | or maybe it's a lot buggier :D | 22:49 |
| diddledan | they've released three different editions (the previous two have since disappeared from their site) | 22:49 |
| diddledan | versions F22e, and F22f have disappeared, leaving just F22g as the latest and the previous one before that listed as F22d | 22:50 |
| daftykins | could be the ones that were causing reboots | 22:56 |
| diddledan | aye | 22:57 |
| diddledan | one of them was the january 30/31 release of microcode | 22:57 |
| diddledan | which was the evil buggy bar tender | 22:57 |
| daftykins | speaking of bars... the restaurant by me that recently refurbished went from a shocking 2 boring beers on tap, to 0 | 23:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | just order the toilet duck so... :-) | 23:05 |
| daftykins | *quack* | 23:05 |
| diddledan | haha! sucks to be you :-p | 23:09 |
| diddledan | I vote long island iced teas instead | 23:09 |
| diddledan | https://twitter.com/norcross/status/978357554010099712 | 23:55 |
