 21:23 <@matches> I know it's a shitty measure but it's better than just saying "This picture looks funny!"
 21:23 <@matches> "This graph indicates how funny a picture will look"
 21:23 <@matches> I feel like graphs make things *look* more legitimate even if they aren't actually
+--- Day changed Wed Oct 08 2014
+12:48 <@matches> Writing up these "results" it really doesn't feel like I've achieved much of consequence...
+12:49 <@matches> It feels like I spent 9.5 months not understanding anything and then stumbled accross the blindingly obvious solution that should have taken a week.
+12:50 <@matches> Then again, we were talking about local vs global coordinate systems right at the start...
+12:51 <@matches> Anyway all I've done is introduce a local coordinate system which is expressed with arbitrary precision relative to the global coordinate system.
+12:51 <@matches> The only advantage I can see with the quadtree is that it clips things
+12:51 <@matches> Which is admittedly a really huge advantage
+12:51 <@matches> Since GMP rationals grow exponentially...
+12:51 <@matches> It's a very big time constant thanks to GCD though
+12:52 <@matches> I wish shading worked because these figures would look so much more awesome with colour
+12:57 <@matches> I really hate that I can't just include a pixel perfect copy of the png figures
+12:58 <@matches> There's a massive amount of antialiasing going on
+13:01 <@matches> ...
+13:01 <@matches> I've been writing too much LaTeX when I start using '%' as comment in our debug script
+22:57 <@matches> I must say, the one place where PDF's magical blurring of things makes them look better is the figures from back when shading almost worked
+22:57 < Pommers> LaTeX <3
+22:57 <@matches> It's not even something you can control in LaTeX
+22:58 <@matches> The PDF viewer will do whatever the hell it wants
+22:58 <@matches> Although I've realised that the screenshot tool in debian is also adding antialiasing of its own
+22:59 <@matches> So at some point between the draft thesis and the final thesis I guess I need to go through IPDF's own screenshot function
+22:59 <@matches> szmoore.net/ipdf/sam/presentation/presentation.pdf
+23:00 <@matches> The presentation with a big gap where I in theory explain Rational numbers, arbitrary precision integers, the GMP library, Why we only care about the bounds of beziers, the different ways you can apply bounds transforms to get better results, and all the graphs that I am going to make that don't exist yet
+23:00 < Pommers> Oh yeah, did you see the Github pack that I posted in #UCC last night?
+23:00 <@matches> Well no I was too busy crying myself to sleep
+23:01 <@matches> Thesis' are harder than regular assignments mainly because there isn't a set goal
+23:01 <@matches> You have to set your own goal
+23:01 < Pommers> https://education.github.com/pack
+23:02 <@matches> And it tends to end up as not actually thinking about the goal until the end and then realising that you didn't meet it
+23:02 <@matches> Huh what's that
+23:03 <@matches> I see many "cloud" and "crowdsourcing" references and "$" signs
+23:03 < Pommers> All free stuff for students
+23:04 <@matches> Cool
+23:04 <@matches> Goodnight
+23:04 < Pommers> Night
+23:06 <@matches> Hmm, I should probably have removed the Western Australian Marine Science Institution logo from that presentation template I stole
+23:07 <@matches> Or it will haunt my dreams
+23:07 < Pommers> Probably. Whena re you presenting?
+23:10 < sulix> I'm just disappointed that your presentation isn't "CONFIDENTIAL" like some of th others on the list.
+23:17 < Pommers> Nice presentation
