| hello: | Anyone here? | [01:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | hi hel | [08:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | damn/ | [08:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is what, the 10th ? | [08:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | so apparently now bot slides forward not backward anymore. | [08:48] |
| diana_coman: | hm, wonder if they ever got something in 7 minutes flat | [09:39] |
| diana_coman: | how is that the bot slides forward but not backward? | [09:39] |
| diana_coman: | doesn't it go backward at all you mean? | [09:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | no idea, but i find it about half a run forward-er from where it was. | [09:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | no, recall how over long time it slid backwards ? | [09:39] |
| diana_coman: | ah, it's a matter of the landscape lol | [09:40] |
| diana_coman: | whether it's backward or forward depends on the incline basically | [09:40] |
| diana_coman: | kept toying about mostly with other ways of movement so did not get a lot of xp with line stuff | [09:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah i c | [09:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | so it goes against the incline basically. | [09:41] |
| diana_coman: | poor bot does "one step" either way - doesn't really have any other control on result; overall I think it probably needs some more intelligent movement strategy to keep it within some coords or something | [09:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | yeah it's mostly that i've not been much mining the past... oh i dunno, year ? so kinda slowly discovering what everyone knows lol | [09:45] |
| danielpbarron: | the bot will drift ~up~ hills | [10:41] |
| danielpbarron: | because a step downhill is always shorter than a step up a hill | [10:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | aha. | [11:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | so a record foxybot run for me so far, 5536 | [21:15] |
| hanbot: | lovely. i've been working on the whole explore-back-to-town-smoothly exercise lately, so as not to hafta hump my table. | [23:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | aha, it's pretty neat that. | [23:03] |
