nicksydney | wpwrak: what's new | 04:43 |
---|---|---|
whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: it's just the Wordssmashedtogether | 10:02 |
whitequark | Capitalizedwordssmashedtogether :p | 10:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hm? | 10:44 |
whitequark | nevermind | 11:01 |
larsc | I don't get it either ;) | 11:08 |
whitequark | sigh... DHL, FedEx, Pony Express, UPS and DPD don't work with individuals in Russia anymore | 12:04 |
whitequark | because customs | 12:05 |
viric | they don't want to deliver to individuals? | 12:05 |
whitequark | (they) who? | 12:06 |
lekernel | whitequark, register a company then :) | 12:36 |
whitequark | lekernel: unfortunately that's a very expensive pain in the ass | 12:41 |
whitequark | you'd need to pay about $3k/year to the retirement fund (which will be stolen anyway; Olympics 2014 was financed from that), and on top of that there's a ton of paperwork | 12:41 |
whitequark | soon, it seems that the easiest way would be to deliver to some european country and then just fly there and pick it up as baggage. | 12:42 |
whitequark | (or just buy it in EU, but for US it's not an option--too expensive to fly.) | 12:43 |
lekernel | for registering and paying taxes, it's better than Germany :) http://www.doingbusiness.org/data/exploreeconomies/germany http://www.doingbusiness.org/data/exploreeconomies/russia | 12:43 |
whitequark | that website is hilarious. assumes you're going to actually pay all taxes. | 12:44 |
lekernel | even better then :) | 12:44 |
whitequark | I don't know how it's in Germany, but here I've yet to see (closely) a single company to pay all of them | 12:45 |
whitequark | I actually suspect it's economically impossible to bring in any profit while paying all taxes | 12:45 |
whitequark | (unless you're a multinational conglomerate or something) | 12:45 |
lekernel | those conglomerates are sending the profits overseas, take them off their balance sheet, and avoid taxes that way | 12:46 |
lekernel | maybe we should start one together | 12:46 |
lekernel | having a network of companies registered in different parts of the world also helps when you bid on certain contracts | 12:47 |
whitequark | hehe | 12:47 |
whitequark | btw: https://cryptopayment.ru/ in Russia, you can pay for utilities in bitcoin now! | 12:49 |
whitequark | I will try them out the next time a bill arrives | 12:50 |
CYB3R | I have got few more questions about UBIBoot and jzboot. | 14:32 |
CYB3R | Does anybody know how to set this option in jzboot config: PHMDIV # Define the frequency divider ratio of PLL=CCLK:PCLK=HCLK=MCLK | 14:33 |
whitequark | take a look: http://www.dragoninnovation.com/projects/32-pulsedlight-single-board-range-finder-minimodule | 15:16 |
whitequark | I want to believe, but... delivery at May 2014? with funding ending with Feb? | 15:17 |
whitequark | two months?! | 15:17 |
CYB3R | isn't it just IR sensor? | 15:19 |
CYB3R | looks like on 1:25 | 15:20 |
whitequark | hm, then how does it work? | 15:21 |
whitequark | there's really no details, and what details there are, aren't clear | 15:25 |
whitequark | it's apparently not actually a LIDAR | 15:25 |
whitequark | "signature correlation" is not a scientific term as well | 15:26 |
whitequark | or maybe it is, hmm. http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-81693-2_52 seems relevant | 15:27 |
whitequark | it's also irritating that in order to discuss the project you need to back it (although common on crowdfunding sites) | 15:30 |
CYB3R | Not sure, but may be a fraud | 15:34 |
Action: whitequark submitted it to HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7108742 | 15:37 | |
whitequark | perhaps that generates some more ideas | 15:37 |
CYB3R | whitequark: does jzboot use the same config with proprietary usbboot? | 15:52 |
whitequark | CYB3R: I don't remember if the format is exactly same | 15:53 |
whitequark | but the values should be | 15:53 |
CYB3R | Because I failed to find out what PHMDIV actually is, maybe I just should leave it as a magic number | 15:54 |
whitequark | PHMDIV = 3 # Frequency divider ratio of PLL=CCLK:PCLK=HCLK=MCLK | 15:54 |
CYB3R | yes, I already got this line, but the datasheet only mentions that " ICLK, PCLK, SCLK, MCLK and LCLK frequency can be changed separately for software by setting division ratio " | 15:58 |
CYB3R | It doesn't say what CCLK, PCLK, HCLK, MCLK should be | 16:01 |
whitequark | https://twitter.com/dragoninnovate/status/426389208651943936 huh | 16:25 |
whitequark | similar "LIDAR": a camera looking at the size of the laser dot: http://xv11hacking.wikispaces.com/LIDAR+Sensor | 16:47 |
whitequark | not really a LIDAR, of course | 16:47 |
whitequark | but that pulsedlight thing doesn't appear to have a camera... | 16:47 |
lekernel | that's a lattice fpga on there | 16:56 |
lekernel | http://pulsedlight3d.com/pl3d/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/MiniModule-RevG.jpg | 16:56 |
lekernel | well, cpld | 16:56 |
whitequark | mmm, fascinating | 16:58 |
lekernel | http://www.freepatent.ru/patents-us/8125620 | 16:59 |
whitequark | .ru? | 16:59 |
whitequark | and it's ECONNREFUSED | 16:59 |
lekernel | that's just US patent 8125620, you can find it elsewhere | 16:59 |
whitequark | hm, wait, that's the great russian firewall apparently... works via UK proxy | 17:00 |
whitequark | ooo, I think I understand... it doesn't directly measure the time, it measures how far out of phase the emitted and received signals are, right? | 17:01 |
apelete | larsc: started testing dma on mmc driver, cannot mount filesystem on sdcard any longer: | 22:52 |
apelete | http://paste.debian.net/78079/ | 22:52 |
apelete | debugging ongoing, code is here: http://git.seketeli.net/cgit/~apelete/qi-kernel.git/log/?h=jz4740-dma | 22:55 |
apelete | so, dma breaks mounting the rootfs on sdcard but there's no data corruption: kernel boots just fine when dma is deactivated, what a relief | 23:04 |
apelete | anyway, back to reading mmc code | 23:06 |
