00:00 < matches> Ah, good old copy paste and naming variables 'n' and 'm'
00:01 < matches> Mever fails to segfault
+01:05 < matches> PN Yields: 1.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
+01:05 < matches> PN is: 1
+01:06 < matches> Doubles Yield: inf
+01:06 < matches> TAKE THAT KAHAN
+01:06 < matches> Hmm
+01:06 < matches> I could multithread the paranoid number...
+01:07 < matches> At least, the Convert to double part of it
+01:11 < matches> Ah, it fails on the very next test though
+01:11 * matches regrest uncommenting the "return 0;"
+01:11 < matches> grects
+01:11 < matches> regrects
+01:11 < matches> dammit
+01:11 < matches> it is too aerly for this
+01:21 < matches> So ipython stores pngs as giant base64 encoded strings
+01:21 < matches> In JSON format
+01:21 * matches shudders at the commit diff
+01:23 < matches> Good luck sulix
+09:47 < sulix> "Bang, zoom, straight to the rounding error"?
+12:17 * sulix falls over in a heap of insanity and shame.
+17:20 -!- mode/#ipdf [+o matches] by OperServ
+17:20 -!- matches changed the topic of #ipdf to: IPDF: A Document Precision Playground
+17:20 <@matches> This is good reading
+17:21 <@matches> I just read "At its core, IPDF breaks documents" and choked on my drink
+17:22 * sulix thinks we might have a new slogan.
+17:23 <@matches> I think it's important that you don't specify what the initials actually stand for
+17:23 <@matches> People will think it's a fancy PDF viewer
+17:23 <@matches> Except it's really a broken SVG viewer
+17:25 < sulix> I don't intend to give any more explanation than IPDF™.
+17:25 < sulix> Or possible IPDFⓇ
+17:25 <@matches> I am jealous of your compose key
+17:26 < sulix> Mwäháhà!
+17:33 <@matches> Ah yeah, precision vs zoom doesn't work to well for doubles for some reason
+18:24 <@matches> Look at ParanoidNumber go
+18:24 <@matches> Look at it go!
+18:24 <@matches> Well you can't because you're not here
+18:24 <@matches> I should do a live stream
+18:24 <@matches> It is so exciting
+18:24 <@matches> It's been going 5 minutes but it hasn't failed any tests since I commented out the comparison against doubles
+18:25 <@matches> Yes
+18:25 <@matches> Eat all the memory
+18:25 <@matches> Soon you will grow strong
+18:27 <@matches> Actually I probably *want* it to start failing tests
+18:28 <@matches> Because if it gives the same result as a double it's not any better than a double...
+18:28 <@matches> At the very least it is mathematically interesting
+18:29 <@matches> I'm not sure Mathematically interesting and "Chemical Engineering Conference" go together
+18:29 <@matches> Also I don't have enough Maths training to say anything about it other than it is interesting
+18:29 <@matches> It is a ring of complete hidden sets of fields
+18:29 <@matches> Yeah
+18:29 * matches uses maths
+18:30 < sulix> Technically, I don't think that things which use floats can ever be rings or fields due to the whole rounding error thing.
+18:34 <@matches> Well
+18:34 <@matches> It's a tree
+18:34 <@matches> I can hold on to that
+18:34 <@matches> I understand trees
+18:35 <@matches> They have trunks and bark and leaves
+18:35 <@matches> Hmm, I should add a Bark sub class
+18:35 <@matches> I wonder if I can bring myself to implement the same test algorithm in Mathematica and compare the results
+18:36 <@matches> I think using Mathematica in research requires you to sell your soul though
+18:41 <@matches> Also Frames thinks that enabling optimisation will magically make PN less terrible
+18:41 <@matches> I'm somewhat skeptical
+18:41 <@matches> But here goes
+18:42 <@matches> (I am anticipating it will make it much faster, in that it will segfault after 2 operations)
+18:45 <@matches> Well it didn't segfault, but apparently "219123 != 219123"
+18:48 <@matches> Actually
+18:48 <@matches> It seems a lot faster
+18:48 <@matches> Hooray Frames
+18:48 <@matches> Thesis done
+18:49 < sulix> Does it speed up the GMP and/or Arbint rationals much?
+18:49 <@matches> Haven't tried yet
+18:49 <@matches> I need to adapt Paranoidtester into a general tester
+18:49 <@matches> Or was that realops
+18:49 <@matches> I forget
+18:49 <@matches> I have a lot of testers that I suspect do basically the same thing
+18:57 <@matches> Compiling with -Ofast does lead to
+18:57 <@matches> WARNING: main (main.cpp:29) - __STDC_IEC_559__ not defined. IEEE 754 floating point not fully supported.
+18:57 <@matches> (I am the best programmer I put in all the warning messages!)
+18:58 <@matches> And ipdf segfaults
+18:58 <@matches> But not the tester
+18:58 <@matches> In stbtt_FindGlyphIndex
+18:59 <@matches> Are we going to need to submit another pull request...
+19:17 <@matches> Ah
+19:17 <@matches> Adding all those "SanityCheck" calls may have slowed things down a tad
+19:17 <@matches> IPDF::ParanoidNumber::SanityCheck (this=0xe80a640, visited=std::set with 9775 elements = {...})
+19:23 <@matches> Sanity-Check-this - out
+19:24 <@matches> I think I need more sleep
+19:53 < Pommers> goto bed matches

+21:22 <@matches> Overloading operator new and delete is kind of terrifying...
+21:25 <@matches> Things run blindingly fast
+21:25 <@matches> Until they segfault
+21:26 <@matches> I suspect std::vector does not take kindly to being destructed multiple times
+21:33 <@matches> Hmm
+21:33 <@matches> I need to make std::vector pointers instead?
+21:33 <@matches> That's getting a little convoluted...
+21:35 <@matches> Or what I really need is a delete operator that doesn't actually call the destructor automagically
+21:35 <@matches> (Even when you overload delete it still calls the destructor?)
+21:36 <@matches> I'm noticing a bit of a trend here
+21:36 <@matches> You can overload C++ operators but if you do it totally breaks everything
+21:36 <@matches> eg: You could implement a double() operator for casting to double but you're better off just writing Double() and using it everywhere because otherwise the compiler goes insane trying to use your operator in places
+21:37 <@matches> You can implement your own delete operator but that won't stop the compiler from doing everything it does with the standard delete...
+21:38 <@matches> The only operators you can overload (mostly) are the arithmetic ones
+21:39 <@matches> Also the compiler seems to occasionally just use the standard delete anyway which just makes everything TOTALLY INSANE
+21:39 <@matches> WHY
+21:39 * matches grumbles and prepares to write "Delete" and "New"
+--- Day changed Sun Sep 21 2014
+16:43 <@matches> I think I'm just an idiot
+16:47 <@matches> Arena doesn't help that much
+16:47 <@matches> Which is odd
+16:48 <@matches> If anything it is slower :(
+16:49 <@matches> It's hard to profile something that doesn't work in valgrind
+17:00 <@matches> On the other hand, removing all the "SanityCheck" calls is surprisingly effective...
+17:48 <@matches> Damn
+17:48 <@matches> I guess new and delete isn't as expensive as just doing a craptonne of branches
+22:33 <@matches> So, probably a better idea is to stop the CPU renderer from recalculating the object bounds every single frame
+22:33 <@matches> And update the object bounds when the view is changed instead
+22:34 <@matches> Since we don't really care what the original bounds are
+22:37 <@matches> This is basically what the quad tree does...
+22:37 <@matches> Well it changes coordinate systems as well
+22:37 <@matches> But I can zoom in a lot further now than I could before...
+22:38 <@matches> Until eventually there is a sigfpe
+23:19 <@matches> Ok
+23:19 <@matches> This is slightly worrying
+23:19 <@matches> I can zoom to {0.5,0.5,1e-41,1e-41} and insert things without any problem
+23:21 <@matches> The CPU renderer does tend to sigfpe
+23:27 <@matches> Man I feel really foolish now
+23:27 * matches makes plans to delete the IRC logs again
+23:32 <@matches> So
+23:33 <@matches> The good news is that GMP rationals are pretty effective when you do cumulative transforms on the object bounds as opposed to keeping the bounds static and transforming them to view coordinates
+23:34 <@matches> The bad news is that so are regular floats
+23:34 <@matches> I'm pretty sure it just means we need a better tester
+23:38 <@matches> Or
+23:38 <@matches> We lie
