whitequark | uh huh | 09:29 |
whitequark | arm mali 3d accelerated driver was reverse-engineered | 09:30 |
larsc | link? | 09:50 |

pabs3 | w00t | 10:38 |
lekernel | this is dull and super boring. 99% of the work in any GPU is done by proprietary ASIC algorithms. | 10:54 |
lekernel | it's time the free software community understands that | 10:54 |
pabs3 | pretty sure they do | 10:58 |
lekernel | if they did, there would be more people in #milkymist just now | 10:59 |
wolfspraul | it's very difficult for anyone to understand, believe, be excited about a few kids saying they can do better than the largest multi-billion USD corporations on the planet | 11:19 |
wolfspraul | I fully understand that | 11:19 |
wolfspraul | the way I believe we can break through (obviously since that's what I'm doing), is to accept a little laughter for a while and build the best products we can build, gradually improve them, and look for an opportunity that plays to our strengths to grow | 11:20 |
wolfspraul | so go ahead compare with those chips, I don't care | 11:20 |
wolfspraul | they cost billions to make, it's very hard, and the capital invested has all sorts of consequences in terms of making innovative products | 11:20 |
wolfspraul | but to deny the value or spectactular performance of such chips is also pretty dumb, imho. they are exciting! | 11:21 |
wolfspraul | a couple USD will get you all that performance - WOW! | 11:21 |
wolfspraul | that can do a lot of good things *today*, and Milkymist cannot (yet) | 11:22 |
wolfspraul | my 2c | 11:22 |
Textmode | meep? | 11:22 |
lekernel | of course, but this is the best free GPU SoC which exists today, and they should join the effort instead of improving software support for proprietary solutions | 11:23 |
wolfspraul | definitely | 11:23 |
wolfspraul | pabs3: have you joined yet? :-) | 11:23 |
wolfspraul | you should, seriously, it's good stuff - any contemporary developer will enjoy | 11:24 |
lekernel | besides, Mali isn't that advanced technically, and it doesn't seem impossible to reach the same level of functionality, especially with the features that migen will bring | 11:24 |
wolfspraul | you can develop free graphics acceleration! how's that compared to reverse engineering drivers... | 11:24 |
lekernel | performance will be a bit harder unless we switch to an asic process ofc | 11:25 |
pabs3 | wolfspraul: nope, currently lack both time and a reason to use it. just posted the website in #debian-multimedia though, perhaps someone gets interested | 11:58 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: 60 dB would be for satellites orbiting somewhere near the heliopause or a bit beyond :) | 12:12 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: common wisdom has it in the 15-25 dB range | 12:12 |
wolfspraul | pabs3: wow that's nice, thank you! | 12:19 |
DocScrutinizer | beware of rogue string posting! gtk/xchat seems vulnerable: https://code.google.com/p/xchat-wdk/issues/detail?id=132#c15 | 12:35 |
DocScrutinizer | http://maemo.cloud-7.de/clean-N900xchat-scrollback-from-rogue-string.sh | 12:43 |
DocScrutinizer | FWIW | 12:43 |
pabs3 | DocScrutinizer: forwarded to the Debian security team, thanks | 13:06 |
DocScrutinizer | yw | 13:06 |
DocScrutinizer | script kiddie took me by surprise on #maemo last night | 13:06 |
DocScrutinizer | lachs_ ist ~lachs@adsl-84-227-224-144.adslplus.ch (lachs) | 13:07 |
DocScrutinizer | klined now | 13:07 |
DocScrutinizer | probably for lifetime | 13:07 |
DocScrutinizer | the nasty part is it's a gtk bug | 13:08 |
DocScrutinizer | so expect it to hit on arbitrary other gtk based apps as well soonish | 13:09 |
pabs3 | mind if I forward that too? | 13:17 |
pabs3 | DocScrutinizer: ^ | 13:19 |
DocScrutinizer | go ahead | 13:19 |
kristianpaul | DocScrutinizer: i could not see the SAT by just watching the IF no no ;) | 14:20 |
kristianpaul | viric: how do you usally take notes and not lost it | 15:14 |
viric | notes about what? | 15:15 |
kristianpaul | i mean i can take notes but somethimes i forgot save or remeber where i put it | 15:15 |
kristianpaul | about everything, just notes, sticky notes | 15:15 |
viric | I don't use any of them | 15:15 |
kristianpaul | i see | 15:15 |
viric | I've been trying to start using taskwarrior | 15:15 |
kristianpaul | he me too, but no luck so far.. well need to get used to it i guess | 15:16 |
viric | I used quite rarely. Just for long term notes. | 15:16 |
kristianpaul | i just happen to me i had write lots of notes about milkymist now i cant find then all.. | 15:16 |
kristianpaul | argh | 15:16 |
kristianpaul | so open vi write note save and let it there seems not very likelly to avoid it get lost... | 15:17 |
viric | well, I also use often creating a directory with text files | 15:17 |
viric | which sits in the directory of the concerned thing | 15:17 |
viric | or even ~/milkymist, could be | 15:17 |
kristianpaul | yeah, well an alias on my shell perhaps | 15:17 |
kristianpaul | may be this simple task dont need a new tool, just a few customizations ;) | 15:18 |
Action: kristianpaul dont want to lost more notes | 15:19 | |
kristianpaul | kyak: there is a reason that nanoonte buils stoped for 2012? | 15:24 |
wolfspra1l | did they? | 15:56 |
kristianpaul | curl http://fidelio.qi-hardware.com/~xiangfu/compile-log/ | grep 2012 | 16:06 |
wolfspra1l | alright, needs fixing :-) | 16:10 |
kristianpaul | oh nice ! | 19:17 |
kristianpaul | rejon: saw that^ | 19:17 |
