Oct 23 05:00:01 sixwheeledbeast: grammar, not grammer. Oct 23 05:33:00 Speaking of computer efficiency, ternary computers are more efficient than standard binary computers. Oct 23 05:50:44 what about reliability? it's bad enough having bitflips in binary systems Oct 23 07:23:18 Oksana, TRUE, FALSE, FILE_NOT_FOUND? Oct 23 07:26:18 no, maybe, yes. Oct 23 07:26:21 ;) Oct 23 07:27:56 no, random, yes Oct 23 07:30:48 With large enough datasets (and uniform random) that should work pretty nicely :) Oct 23 07:33:08 or if you stand far enough 0 is indistinguishable from 1 Oct 23 07:37:24 and 0 + 0 is 1 for large enough values of 0 Oct 23 07:37:43 or for small enough values of 1 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 23 12:05:11 2019 Oct 23 19:05:11 !seen kitu Oct 23 19:10:01 ~seen kitu Oct 23 19:10:03 sixwheeledbeast: i haven't seen 'kitu' Oct 23 19:10:17 neither have I Oct 23 19:10:28 ~botsnack Oct 23 19:10:29 sixwheeledbeast: aw, gee Oct 23 19:13:14 thanks :D Oct 24 00:08:11 Is there something like GnuCash that, like Google Sheets, I can easily use on multiple computers (home computer running Windows NT, office computer running Windows NT, handheld computer running Android) and always have the user information consistent/synchronised between all of the computers? I realise that GnuCash for Android exists but GnuCash for Android is a different program than the normal GnuCash and is not even written in the same programming Oct 24 00:08:16 language. Using a spreadsheet to keep track of my cashflow makes me wish that I was using a specialised financial program but I do not have the simple use case that I have only one desktop computer because I do not use a portable computer as my primary computer because notebook computers suck for my use case and, regardless, I do not want to carry multiple computers with me, which means I carry only a handheld computer running Android with me even if that Oct 24 00:08:16 handheld computer can use x86 instead of ARM. Oct 24 00:22:54 Also, if I had money to spare, I could have a fanless x86-64 stationary computer with the same model of fanless video card as I currently use in my fanful Core 2 tower computer. Most models of notebook computers with a discrete GPU seem to have at least one fan. I like having a silent desktop computer, which means I like fanless x86 computers. **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 24 01:30:55 2019 Oct 24 01:54:18 Is there already a product that has four video inputs, each for up to 1920×1080, and combines all of the inputs into a single 3840×2160 output with each input in one quadrant of the output screen and that runs at at least 30 frames per second, preferably at at least 60 frames per second? Oct 24 01:55:42 And preferably without needing a fan. Oct 24 01:58:10 brolin_empey: https://www.westardisplaytechnologies.com/products/video-combiner-ezwindow/ ?
