* UmbralRaptop stares at a weighting function
* UmbralRaptop feels a sense of anxiety and/or doom, given that it seems to be returning rather wrong results
<B787_300> ehhhh it is a weighting function, just muck around with the weights until it looks right then post to https://twitter.com/overlyhonestly?lang=en

<mofh> haven't tried, but I'm not sure.
<mofh> B787_300: laughing about your comment, I know about Overly Honest Methods :p
<mofh> uovo: remind me to bring a laser pointer next time I visit ANBO
<B787_300> what is the wavelength in the center of cats vision?

<mofh> egg|work|egg: so today I went down to Gare de Lyon and successfully bought a train ticket!
<mofh> it only took... *checks watch* 3.5 hours

<mofh> UmbralRaptor: so the issue is I tend to curse transit somehow and this is especially bad at Gare de Lyon
<UmbralRaptor> hrm
<mofh> the last two times I tried to obtain a ticket there for something it took *literally the entire day*

<egg|zzz|egg> mofh: how are the chocolates
<whitequark> egg|zzz|egg: basically ok
<UmbralRaptop> mofh: what's your opinion of eg: Laderach?
<mofh> UmbralRaptop: haven't tried yet
<UmbralRaptop> hm
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: how did you like it
<egg|zzz|egg> infinite planes of chocolate
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: I'm not sure where I stand on Ducasse vs. Hévin. I got 3 there (74% Venezuela, 74% Domingo, 60% Milk w/Almonds) and I *think* I very slightly prefer them to the Ducasse but it's been over 6 months and I need to refresh my reference for the latter.
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: did you get some ganaches
<mofh> YES!
<egg|zzz|egg> the hevin ganaches are really nice
<mofh> Those were delicious
<egg|zzz|egg> I prefer them to the ducasse ganaches
<mofh> I mean I haven't tried the Ducasse ganaches, just their bars
<mofh> (I should get some of those as well for reference)
<egg|zzz|egg> also it's been too long since i've eaten either, i should order some
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh: or you should come to zurich with a bag full of french chocolate one of these days :-p
<mofh> (Really should've gotten some when I was in Gare de Lyon this early afternoon, but I think my priority then was Escape From Gare de Lyon)
<SnoopJeDi> I would watch that movie
<SnoopJeDi> especially if it had Ernest Borgnine
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: :P
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: (it depends on time and cost and stuff, but I'd love to visit Zürich again sometime).
<UmbralRaptop> tasty finite subsets of planes
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh: also at some point you need to visit venice
<mofh> also I think the thing that pisses me off the most about those Lime-S pieces of disposable metal around a BDLC motor and a bunch of 18650s is I swear the people riding them are always the biggest clowns imaginable.
<mofh> like, don't try to "weave" THRU THE CROWDS BY THE LINEUP IN THE ENTRY QUEUE TO LE LOUVRE
<mofh> one, you'll piss everyone off
<mofh> two, you'll get yourself badly hurt
<mofh> (security flagged the dipshit down after he ran over several peoples' feet)
<SnoopJeDi> WAIT they use 18650s?!

<mofh> SnoopJeDi: of course, what did you think they'd use?
<SnoopJeDi> omg
<mofh> they're Designed In California piles of crap with a typical lifetime of 28 days
<SnoopJeDi> yes but think of the upshot: the short lifetime means they realize the products original intent of urban disorder that much sooner!
<mofh> how do you think you break even on a design like that? A) buy the cheapest reject batteries you can find, since they only need to last a month at most.
<SnoopJeDi> I'm bamboozled that it's literally just a bunch of 18650s holy shit
<SnoopJeDi> but as you say, of course they are, this is peak SV
<SnoopJeDi> well, not peak, but quintessential
<SnoopJeDi> although I'm not super familiar with battery technology so I don't know if that's common practice or anything but good grief charlie brown

<egg|zzz|egg> mofh: I mean you can always do something like -(0 - x * x) but that's contrived
<UmbralRaptor> https://twitter.com/jckarter/status/1144237872813228035 is convincing me that it's impossible to write C that is both correct and readable. Let alone performant and readable >_<
<kmath> <jckarter> implement fabs(double), wrong answers only
<X> Can someone explain the concept of -0 to me outside the context of limits?
<SnoopJeDi> X, it's not a stretch to imagine systems that have multiple additive identities. Negative zero usually refers to systems that don't have a unique one (because Reasons™)
<uovo> X: SnoopJeDi: in the context of floating point arithmetics, the context is essentially limits (via underflow) though
<mofh> uovo: oh wow the BNF has a pretty reasonable viewer: http://classes.bnf.fr/ecritures/grand/s072.htm
<uovo> SnoopJeDi: also +0 is not an additive identity, since -0 + +0 = +0
<uovo> X: in the same way that the infinities are limits (via overflow)
<SnoopJeDi> uovo, yea I guess I got nerd-sniped by the more general idea, and also trying to explain floating point is A) a nightmare B) something y'all already do regularly
<uovo> eggsplain
<SnoopJeDi> which part
