<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: more reasonable a name than Calcareous :-p
<bofh> ROFL I REMEMBER THAT >_<
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: Пётр Известковый :-p
<bofh> (for the rest of the channel: I inadvertently mis-parsed 'pierre calcaire' thinking it was some early French king's name)
<bofh> (turns out it means limestone(? -- iirc))
<egg|zzz|egg> well, it's literally "calcareous stone"
<egg|zzz|egg> [more context for the channel: a label for a king's head said something along the lines of "head of a king -- chalky stone", which, by virtue of Peter and stone being the same word, could be misunderstood as "head of a king -- Peter Chalky"]
<bofh> ...now I'm curious if Известь & Извещать share a root word.
<egg|zzz|egg> hah
<bofh> (since newsprint *does* use limestone for filler (hence the distinctive texture, in part) & most early printers used quicklime for bleaching; the rest of an early newsprint manufacturing facility was mostly-to-entirely mechanical separation of the lignin from the wood pulp and whatnot)
<bofh> no, the latter *prolly* comes from Изведенция ("knowledge") but Vasmer doesn't have a straight answer so <shrug>
<bofh> also brb renaming self to Peter Chalky
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: in the Правда, no Известняк, etc. :-p

<egg|zzz|egg> the comment is interesting tooo
<bofh> I mean even before we get into power consumption, AVX-512 is imho too new and often there's not a sensible way to port AVX2 code to it that actually achieves even a 1.5x speedup (256b seems to be about the most useful size for fp SIMD imho). But yeah, that is interesting, especially the comment.
<bofh> I really do wonder why Intel does this downclocking anyhow, I seriously can't imagine power draw on an FMA unit being on/off being a dramatic increase over the largely constant power consumption of, say, the L2 cache.
<whitequark> they're way too wide
<whitequark> power-wise it's almost equivalent to multiplying the clock by width
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: well, yeah, it's too new so it's hard to use it portably; the non-wide AVX-512 stuff is nice though
<egg|zzz|egg> although they don't seem to have rounding on the non-512 ones
<egg|zzz|egg> nevermind, they do
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#techs=SSE,SSE2,SSE3,AVX_512&expand=2107,2685,144&text=addsd

<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: _mm_add_round_sd sounds really useful tbh

<bofh> egg|zz|egg: I mean for those commits it seems reasonable :p the ImageMagick ones look like a bunch of simultaneous refactoring for most of the "..."s, which... honestly, I'm more bothered by them doing multiple levels of refactoring in a single commit than the message (mostly b/c ImageMagick is provably a buggy insecure mess).

<egg|zz|egg> bofh: mostly I'm surprised that commits are seen as a meaningful units whose messages might be interesting
<egg|zz|egg> bofh: on github I'd expect anything interesting to be in the pull request, not the individual commits that I happened to commit because I went for food
<bofh> egg|zz|egg: so, like, I know some projects don't use PRs for commits when the committer is project-internal and has a commit bit.
<egg|zz|egg> bad projects
<SnoopJeDi> and squashing lets you hide the sausage-making
<egg|zz|egg> but the sausage making is fun
<SnoopJeDi> of course, which is why the solution is not "stop sausage-making"
<bofh> egg|zz|egg: like, I agree, but it seems ImageMagick is one such project. and they are indeed bad.
<SnoopJeDi> but VCS is its own tool and bad messages hurt its usefulness
<SnoopJeDi> although thankfully stuff like blame lets you maneuver even when https://xkcd.com/1296/
<egg|zz|egg> SnoopJeDi: no, but seeing the sausage making is fun too :-p
