14:01 IcyDiamond     You guys saw this? https://youtu.be/nI8Q1bqT8QU

14:21 Krock          is that guy a German by any chance?

14:22 Krock          yeah.. at least german speaking
14:26 rubenwardy     That's super cool
14:38 Krock          So his solver algorithm is exactly how I learnt myself how to solve logical circuits, just with a brute-force solve() chunk at the bottom
14:39 Krock          backwards from the output
14:45 IcyDiamond     Hopefully I can get back into the modding thing again sometime
14:47 Krock          today
14:49 IcyDiamond     It's scorching hot here and it's impossible to even think about doing anything :p

15:03 rubenwardy     Twitter, go home
15:03 rubenwardy     you're drunk
15:03 rubenwardy     it's displaying everything in Finnish
15:03 IcyDiamond     lmao
15:09 Sokomine       IcyDiamond: with your name, we might as well just put you somewhere in the room :) your ice will melt, cooling the room, and we can pick up your diamonds :)  (rl ventilators would be great...)
15:12 IcyDiamond     :D
15:24 celeron55      rubenwardy: i guess that's one way to represent a logic circuit 8)
15:29 IcyDiamond     weird, i built latest minetest and now i get this: https://termbin.lunasqu.ee/qs56
15:30 sfan5          not minetest's fault
15:30 IcyDiamond     hmm
15:30 IcyDiamond     ah, i updated my system, there's probs something there that's not adding up
15:30 IcyDiamond     imma reboot and see then
15:31 IcyDiamond     i was correct
18:55 Sokomine       emjois are annoying. who might think that a smiley leads to "reacted with a laugh"? that may be mistaken :-(
19:22 ircSparky      how much lighter would one 10m raycast be compared to ten 1m raycasts?
19:23 ircSparky      in theory they would use the same processing power
19:24 Krock          more distance to travel = more checks = more time spent
19:24 VanessaE       10 x 1m would be faster, if MT could multi-thread
19:24 Krock          but if you want to split it up. don't. use one to reduce overhead
19:24 VanessaE       raycasting/tracing is one of those "embarassingly parallel" jobs
19:25 ircSparky      well, im doing the casts one after the other anyways
19:25 VanessaE       then 1x 10m would be faster as Krock said
19:26 ircSparky      its the same distance
19:27 ircSparky      for context, I'm trying to make raycast bullets have drop, which would require more raycasts to form an arc compared to a single raycast
19:28 ircSparky      I know it will be heavier since it needs physics to be simulated, but I was just curious if simple splitting up the raycasts would also make it take much more processing power
19:28 ircSparky      simply*
19:33 VanessaE       I thought MT had a ballistic arc movement function?
19:34 ircSparky      I don't know
19:45 Krock          VanessaE: since when? collision detection is less reliable at high speeds than raycast
19:45 VanessaE       perhaps, but that kind of movement is entirely client-side, isn't it?
19:46 VanessaE       I'm thinking of the movement caused by e.g. throwing an item
19:47 Krock          both
19:47 VanessaE       ohh
19:47 VanessaE       well so much for that idea.
19:47 Krock          the server also needs to know the position
19:50 ircSparky      yea, I use raycast for its reliability, in the rangedweapons mod, any "fast" bullets will go through players unless the player is at one of the right locations on the bullet's path
20:45 Fixer          minecraft 1.14 server restarts every 30 minutes, Coral
20:45 Fixer          for stability
20:45 Fixer          minetest has improved a lot o_0
20:51 Sokomine       fixer: the difference in speed between mc and mt is considerable. i'm glad mt can be played on my hardware (without fancy graphics card)
20:53 Fixer          Sokomine: minecraft server-side slow downed a lot since 1.13-1.14
20:54 Sokomine       didn't really dare to try a local game in mc. playing on a server is very slow already
