07:26:00 <doesthiswork> many puns are easier to notice when you learn a language as an adult

16:40:05 <rdococ> or...
16:40:05 <rdococ> hm
16:41:09 <rdococ> When light hits a vampire, it will pass through the vampire iff its current trajectory leads it to a reflective surface.
16:41:14 <rdococ> I think.
16:42:00 <rdococ> So, if you count the floor as reflective (since it reflects light), vampires would have no shadow - imagine the floor as a mirror: you'd see the light the vampire would normally block.
16:42:28 <rdococ> But if you count the floor as non-reflective (since it's not usually as reflective as a mirror), vampires would have a shadow.

16:45:55 <Taneb> I asked a physicist friend and she said "don't apply logic to fantasy"
16:46:13 <\oren\> rdococ: besically, the specular reflected light would pass through
16:46:49 <rdococ> Say you had a shiny, but not metallic, red surface. Would you see the vampire in it?
16:47:27 <\oren\> so if you're looking at for example pavement in the shadow of a vampire, you'd see a shadow, but the grains of the pavement's aggregate would still sparkle
16:47:32 <shachaf> int-e: I didn't get it either just now.
16:47:38 <shachaf> Too contrived. Too much setup.

16:48:20 <rdococ> \oren\: I was under the impression that any reflection other than direct human vision would count
16:48:25 <rdococ> Heh, count
16:49:21 <Taneb> rdococ, what about, say, dog vision
16:49:28 <int-e> soon we'll get to the bottom of this mining business <-- a pun that I found yesterday in one of the Broken Sword adventure games.
16:49:53 <oerjan> clearly \oren\'s conclusion that vampires cause sparkling means the logic must be wrong.
16:49:55 <rdococ> hm
16:50:18 <\oren\> oerjan: no, vampires just don't mitigate sparkling
16:50:19 <rdococ> I guess what we're asking for is the reflection threshold of the vampires' reflectionlessness...?
16:50:40 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined.
16:50:55 <\oren\> or specular reflections of ligh sources they would otherwise block
16:51:16 <rdococ> when does non-specular reflection become specular?
16:51:43 <Taneb> I think vampires go against our understanding of quantum mechanics
16:52:00 <oerjan> Taneb: either that, or quantum mechanics is the cause of their reflection properties
16:52:20 <oerjan> maybe electrons are tiny vampires
16:52:28 <hppavilion[1]> I had an idea for a way to improve QR codes; I wonder what's wrong with it.
16:52:43 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
16:53:36 <Taneb> Actually...
16:53:44 <Taneb> Hmm
16:54:00 <hppavilion[1]> Taneb: ...has this conversation been going since yesterday?
16:54:18 <Taneb> I think it came back up when oerjan `addquoted it
16:54:24 <rdococ> hm
16:54:37 -!- augur has joined.
16:54:50 <Taneb> I didn't do as well as I'd like in my quantum information processing exam
16:55:03 <Taneb> So maybe I'm not the authority on what is and what isn't legal quanta
16:55:04 <hppavilion[1]> Ah
16:55:14 <hppavilion[1]> So, my idea to improve QR is the cQR code
16:55:28 <hppavilion[1]> It's exactly the same, except that it looks completely different
16:55:40 <rdococ> I don't think vampires are useful for the FTL transportation of information, unfortunately
16:55:43 <rdococ> ooh, cQR
16:56:11 <\oren\> color QR code: 3 qr codes in diffrent colors superimposed
16:56:35 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Well, other than that it has nothing to do with that, but the 'c' IS for 'color'
16:57:03 <rdococ> honestly it only sounds useful to save space...
16:57:25 <hppavilion[1]> The second corner square (you know, they all have those 3 identical regions used to identify the orientation and- iirc- even if the code has been reflected) would be altered so that the inner squares have a number of visually-distinct colors (they can't be black or white; white is an empty square to fill in non-powers-of-2)
16:58:12 <rdococ> the second corner square/
16:58:13 <rdococ> ?
16:58:14 <hppavilion[1]> The actual body is then written in those colors, with the position of the corresponding pixels in the color ID indicating its position in base 2^k
16:58:25 <rdococ> Can you show an example?
16:58:45 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: There are 3 corner regions on every code, iyrc. The second one is the middle one (unless there's already established nomenclature for it)
16:58:52 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: of cQR or of normal QR?
16:59:04 <rdococ> cQR
16:59:17 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: I don't have one yet and I really don't want to make it.
16:59:42 <rdococ> k
16:59:44 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: The point is that the body pixels are in pretty colors.
17:00:32 <\oren\> find pigments that preferentially absorb N different wavelengths
17:00:35 <hppavilion[1]> Any color pattern may be chosen in that space, so that these can use irregular patterns
17:00:41 <hppavilion[1]> Er, not irregular
17:01:00 <hppavilion[1]> So that, if you have a limited palette, you can still invoke it by choosing the colors carefully.
17:01:06 <\oren\> then you can use N superimposed QR codes
17:01:31 <rdococ> can it store any extra information, compared to a regular QR code?
17:01:35 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Oh, good point, actually.
17:01:37 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: Yeah, a lot
17:02:46 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: The one I checked on the door- a 29×29 to sign up to use a music room outside of your normal class period- could have 4 times as many bits and 16 times as many combinations without changing the resolution OR size
17:03:18 <hppavilion[1]> (I noticed it when I was walking in and it triggered me to think about this idea again)
17:04:18 <hppavilion[1]> [to be clear, though, this only works if I understand QR codes correctly; if the "body" of the code- the area that isn't the 3 corner regions- can have arbitrary combinations, this makes sense; else, this all goes out the window)
17:04:49 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Oh, technically, if you have N colors, you're actually using log_2(N) superimposed codes
17:06:15 <hppavilion[1]> rdococ: But, yeah, with k colors, you get equivalent information density to lb(k) QR codes of equal dimension to the cQR code in question.
17:08:58 <hppavilion[1]> I might be able to hack together an implementation of the decoder, but extracting the code panel from an image is another story (which was already difficult BEFORE you couldn't rely on it at least being a D=1 græyscale)

22:32:34 <hppavilion[1]> I was thinking about angles, and I seem to have designed two ways of measuring 3d angles which correspond to cartesian vs. polar
22:32:54 <hppavilion[1]> The polar one seems to involve... rotating an angle? As in, you rotate the angle itself about an angle?
22:36:28 <fizzie> You mean spherical coordinates?

23:12:05 <zzo38> You mentioned stuff before about if vampires do not have a visible reflection and/or does not cast a shadow. In GURPS, it is possible to define individually if your character is visible by direct sight, has a visible reflection, casts a shadow, is visible to ghosts, in visible to cameras, visible to sonar, etc.

23:41:50 <Zarutian> zzo38: oh, neat. Imagine a character that is only visible indirectly in, reflections, camera feeds and etc. A freak spell accident or some such. Just imagine the pain in the arse that character has to go through on daily basis.
23:42:18 <Zarutian> specially if the character is driving.
23:43:43 <DHeadshot> Zarutian: Like some kind of reverse vampire?
23:43:45 -!- tromp has joined.
23:44:20 <zzo38> Zarutian: Yes, OK. Yes you can define such a thing, and that is a possible reason for it too I suppose.
23:44:38 <Zarutian> DHeadshot: yeah, could get work as a stage hand in theater.
23:45:03 <Zarutian> DHeadshot: I meant yeah. And he or she could get work as a stage hand in theater.
23:45:33 <Zarutian> or in an illusionists show.
23:47:22 <zzo38> Yes, I suppose it can have such advantages as that too.
23:49:44 <Zarutian> zzo38: but is there something specifing that a character can not be seen in odd number of reflections? (Only even ones)
23:50:14 <zzo38> GURPS currently has no such thing, although I like that idea too, and we can make up such a modifier for such thing
23:54:57 <boily> it's possible for GURPS to not have a thing?
23:55:29 <zzo38> Yes, sometimes is stuff missing, so we have to add them.
