[04:12]	IsambardPrince	Elon Musk's Colossus datacenter in Tennessee is using so much groundwater that it won't be possible for natural replacement to happen quickly enough.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	Eventually there will be void collapses and it'll go dry, and then humans that need that water will just be fucked.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	So how does he get away with it? Same reason he gets everything he wants. He's rich, they aren't.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	[21:30] <MinceR> my SUV gets over twice that
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	I swapped out my O2 sensors a while back and gave the car a few hits of Techron.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	I went from about 15-16 mpg to 18-19.
[04:13]	MinceR	:>
[04:14]	IsambardPrince	Techron is the only thing that I've found that goes in the gas tank and actually solves some problems.

[04:14]	MinceR	i don't know, gasoline seems pretty neat, too
[04:14]	IsambardPrince	Most of the stuff in that aisle are "snake oil". They won't clean up much of anything, if they clean anything at all.
[04:14]	IsambardPrince	Well, you know what I meant.
[04:14]	MinceR	:>
[04:15]	IsambardPrince	I've personally tried Gumout Regane, Gumout Multi-System Tune Up, Royal Purple Max Clean, STP 5-in-1 Complete Fuel System Cleaner, and Lucas Deep Clean.
[04:16]	IsambardPrince	None of them had any effect on my gas mileage, on driveability issues, how rough or smooth the engine seemed to run afterwards, or that damned warm restart stall out.
[04:16]	IsambardPrince	Techron improves gas mileage and seems to have gotten rid of that warm stall problem.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	But longer term I switched to Top Tier gasoline.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	It has higher detergency so the system should stay clean instead of constantly having to use Techron to chase "supermarket gas".
[04:19]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Long Term it's cheaper to pay another 5 cents a gallon for the higher detergent gas, than it is to chase several tanks of bargain gas with a $13 bottle of Techron.
[04:19]	MinceR	"The chase is better than the catch!"
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	Using Techron to chase deposits left by bargain gas completely negates the gas savings and more.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	The KIA Soul owner's manual stated if you don't use Top Tier, to use a bottle of Techron in the gas every 5,000 miles then run to nearly empty before refilling.
[04:21]	MinceR	running nearly empty also doesn't sound very wise
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	5,000 miles on that car was roughly 185 gallons of fuel.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	So that makes each gallon 7 cents a gallon more anyway by the time you use the bottle of Techron.
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	You could have just used Top Tier gas to begin with and never had to think about the Techron.
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	The EPA's minimum legal detergent level was not sufficient even in 1996.
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	And it will cause major problems in modern engines.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	When the EPA issued a minimum legal standard, many gas station brands were already using more, and they decided to cut it to the minimum levels, and all these carbon buildup problems nobody had before started getting more common.
[04:26]	IsambardPrince	The Top Tier standard is an industry consortium that oil companies can sign onto. It was created because car manufacturers failed to get the government to raise the detergent requirements by law, and their cars were having problems in warranty caused by low detergency fuel that was legal to sell, but damaged cars.

[19:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	i am not keeping up
[19:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	which one is strong?>
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, Chessmaster is widely played against
[19:09]	Sompi_	They both are
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	but is not the ground standard
[19:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	i made a mode in othello to run engines against one another

[19:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	*then
[19:09]	Sompi_	But with my chess engine the starting positions are (currently) mostly randomized, it does not know any book moves
[19:09]	Sompi_	And that's why it tends to make bad initial moves
[19:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	just slop "hey hi" on it

[19:15]	Sompi_	Currently it uses vga mode 13h but I meant to use EGA low-res mode

[19:15]	TR Bot	148 Rolls Out With 127 Security Fixes - SecurityWeek
[19:15]	Sompi_	I just quickly hacked that mode 13h implementation to get the game actually working
[19:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, ega was 8
[19:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	"proper" colours
[19:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	vga 16, super-vga 256
[19:16]	Sompi_	the first 16 colors of the VGA mode 13h default palette are the EGA colors
[19:16]	Sompi_	no, EGA is also 16 colors
[19:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	cga was 4?
[19:16]	Sompi_	in CGA the high-res mode is black and white, and the low-res mode is 4 colors
[19:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	do more with less
[19:17]	Sompi_	In EGA the high-res mode is either 16 or 4 colors depending on how much (128 kB or 64 kB) video ram you have
[19:17]	Sompi_	but the low-res mode is always 16 colors
[19:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	this stuff is older than you\
[19:18]	Sompi_	the 64 kB model does not have the upper two memory banks
[19:18]	TR News	wordpress why why why oh no it was debian (Uncaught Exception: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone) https://dwaves.de/2026/05/07/wordpress-why-why-why-oh-no-it-was-debian-uncaught-exception-datetimezone__construct-unknown-or-bad-timezone/
[19:18]	TR Bot	wordpress why why why oh no it was debian (Uncaught Exception: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone) | dwaves.de
[19:18]	Sompi_	so the exact same code works (at least when only writing to the memory) but it loses the upper two bits of the color
[19:19]	Sompi_	and that game uses only the first 16 colors of the default VGA mode 13h palette - it was originally designed to use the EGA low-res mode
[19:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sompi_: i was not programming until super-vga
[19:19]	Sompi_	I just need to rewrite the drawing routines
[19:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	my first pc had cga
[19:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	pascal could do rendering at pixel level
[19:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	gui with 600x800px
[19:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	did you render your own chess pieces?
[19:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	or find some stock online?
[19:20]	Sompi_	but this again shows that with clever dithering even 16 colors looks nice
[19:21]	Sompi_	I wrote a sprite editor
[19:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	url?
[19:21]	Sompi_	http://sininenankka.dy.fi/~sami/shakkidos.zip

[19:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	c and bash shell
[19:21]	Sompi_	it needs the GRAPHICS argument or else it starts into teletype mode
[19:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	ok, spite files
[19:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	*sprite
[19:22]	Sompi_	Obviously they are not "real" sprites because this is IBM PC compatible stuff
[19:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	./shakki GRAPHICS DEPTH1=6 DEPTH2=12

[19:23]	Sompi_	I just needed something that can make those images
[19:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	(ms shithub)
[19:24]	Sompi_	SDL is easy when the aim is to make DOS/low-level compatible code
[19:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	you use goto
[19:24]	Sompi_	Yes, I use it a lot
[19:24]	Sompi_	Proudly
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think it's considered bad now
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	i used it when i was very young
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	but the status quo was different
[19:25]	Sompi_	Often goto is the only way to jump directly to the desired destination in the code
[19:25]	Sompi_	Other ways are inefficient and slow
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	but easy to debug
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	for large programs
[19:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	and keeping track of program state
[19:25]	Sompi_	With a chess engine that analyzes millions of possible game positions every clock cycle matters
[19:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	for excceptions and input sanitisation
[19:26]	Sompi_	that is not a large program
[19:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	on the other hand, the code is ok
[19:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	i was just nitpicking a little

[22:19]	TR News	"Blue-brainwashed. Its hard to move on at first, but once you break out of the psychological conditioning, things get a lot better. Better pay, better work-life balance all of it is out there waiting for you. And once you get some distance, you start to realize IBM is kind of a joke. We like smell of our own farts." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kr4jq0y8#replies

[22:20]	TR News	"Six years is way too long, but you still have time to escape. The ones in real trouble are those who stayed 10 years, 15 years or even longer.

[22:20]	TR News	"I've been here six years and I've hated at least four of them - But by now I know the systems, I know the people, and leaving feels like starting over. So I stay. It's stupid but it's honest. I think there are many stuck at IBM with a similar mindset."

[22:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	is 1,000,000% correct. I left after 19 yrs. It was kind of easy as Gerstner torpedoed us and literally stole our pensions.
