joelteon: lots of us, including me, and apparently now ELLIOTTCABLE for some reason
<joelteon>
someone told me there's a package tracking card for google now
<devyn>
package tracking card?
<devyn>
what's that
<devyn>
oh!
<devyn>
for google now
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
devyn: hm?
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<devyn>
I parse that as for (google) now, not for (google now)
<devyn>
joelteon: possibly. I'll check it out
<devyn>
joelteon: looks like if you get sent an email with a tracking number in it it adds a card, yes
<devyn>
joelteon: probably can't test it though; I don't think it would work in Canada because American companies are silly
<devyn>
joelteon: you know I'm pretty sure you can get Google Now on iOS
<devyn>
joelteon: yeah, Google Search app
<devyn>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I never did ask you why you have a nexus 5

<joelteon>
ok, but it doesn't show like
<joelteon>
a progress bar
<devyn>
I have no idea
<devyn>
I don't even know how you could get a progress bar most of the time, given that tracking information usually doesn't include a list of future steps to be taken
<devyn>
glowcoil: that doesn't work. when I bought my MacBook, it got sent from Shenzhen to the Louisville, KY with several stops along the way, before getting sent back to BC with several stops in that direction too
<devyn>
I wish I still had the tracking history... maybe I do
<devyn>
damn, looks like UPS doesn't keep history
<devyn>
it went from Shanghai to Narita to Anchorage at which point I was expecting it to just come straight south
<devyn>
but no,
<devyn>
it went to Louisville first
<devyn>
and in a roundabout way came back
<devyn>
lol
<purr>
lol
<glowcoil>
yeah i mean most progress bars aren't super predictive anyway :p
<devyn>
ah! OpenCL is actually being worked on in the open source AMD driver ^_^
<devyn>
makes me happy. want to get back to OpenCL programming but hate doing it on Windows
<glowcoil>
ELLIOTTCABLE:
<glowcoil>
man i have loads to do
<glowcoil>
i want to do cool things instead
<glowcoil>
but i have:
<devyn>
glowcoil: learn OpeNCL
<devyn>
OpenCL*
<glowcoil>
survey of jazz midterm tomorrow
<glowcoil>
i know a *tiny* bit if i remmeber
<glowcoil>
physics midterm friday
<glowcoil>
four backlogged physics assignents
<glowcoil>
math and cs assginments due friday
<glowcoil>
apply for housing
<glowcoil>
apply for a research alb
<glowcoil>
lab*
<glowcoil>
apply for a different housing
<glowcoil>
that's what i can think of right now
<glowcoil>
excluding fucking retruning books to the library, vacuuming, buying more socks, etc.
<glowcoil>
i wish there were something lower level than opencl :P
<glowcoil>
at least that you could go further if you needed
<devyn>
well, I'm not sure how flexible it is, but the open source OpenCL support for radeon that's in development is based on LLVM
<devyn>
presumably you could hack that process
<devyn>
OpenCL is really more like C though, and I don't just mean in syntax... it's not memory safe but it's architecture independent, so you get quite a bit of power
<devyn>
glowcoil: you do end up usually having to develop different kernels though if you want to run on GPU and CPU devices... CPUs can take a bit of branching, but GPUs are so heavily SIMD that usually the best performance can be had by avoiding branching entirely if possible
<devyn>
at least, from my own experience
