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]
