<pikajude>
hey ec

<pikajude>
hi
<Pyrrh>
ec how is your dog
<Pyrrh>
mine just got a haircut
<Pyrrh>
She kept tracking in way too much bark and tree seeds and I was over it
<Pyrrh>
her butt always looks ridiculous after I cut her hair but oh well
<ljharb>
lol
<ljharb>
you cut your own dog's hair? i can't imagine being able tf pull that off
<ljharb>
*to
<Pyrrh>
yeah she's mellow. she was a showdog at some point before I rescued her so she just lays there while I groom her and cut her nails
<Pyrrh>
the only thing she hates is having her teeth brushed

Pyrrh: SHARE PICS OF WEIRD BUTT
<ec>
THE DOG'S* WEIRD BUTT SORRY IF THAT WAS WEIRD
<ec>
MY DOG HAS SUCH A WEIRD REAR
<ec>
her front half β and I do mean half, perfectly, starting at the halfway point between buttocks and nose-tip β is all sikly-pretty-smooth-soft-lovely
<audy>
boop
<ec>
but her back half, starting in the precise middle, is all scruf and scraggle and weirdbutt
<ec>
shelties just have weird butts!!!
<ec>
audy: hello
<audy>
hey ec
<audy>
ec: quit weird-butt-shaming your dogs. all weird butts are beautiful
<ec>
DID I SAY UNBEAUTIFUL
<ec>
IT IS HEART-SHATTERINGLY BEAUTIFUL SCRAGGLE
<ec>
check ur prejudice
<ec>
audy: how's life how's code
<audy>
:3
<ec>
u still doin' dumb science instead of code
<ec>
stop that
<ec>
write programming languages
<audy>
ec: I do both
<audy>
I'm mutating genomes
<audy>
it's pretty fun. you should try it
<ec>
do you get to play with Big Iron?
<ec>
if not, SMEH
<audy>
well. If you're exposed to UV at any point then you are trying it
<ec>
no, just, non-bladey / non-commodity / non-ancient computer hardware
<audy>
that's why I'm mutating the genomes
<audy>
to generate data to feed into the deep learning
<ec>
like the standalone powerful machines that we used to do computation on before EC2
<audy>
I still have access to the university supercomputer
<audy>
but I don't need to use it right now
<ec>
that 3U server is $149,000, dear lordie above
<ec>
then again I was looking at an oscilloscope that costs $400,000 earlier today so w/e
<ec>
computers are expensive I guess, who knew
<audy>
data scientists are more expensive
<audy>
data is more more expensive
<audy>
especially microbiology data
<audy>
where everything is tiny and unseeable
ec is now known as ELLIOTTCABLE
<audy>
and weird
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
tiny and unseeable
<audy>
you can only measure it indirectly
<audy>
it's like trying to count fish by throwing a rock in a lake and watching the ripples
<audy>
maybe deep learning can do that but you need a lot of lakes
<audy>
and people to count the fishes to generate training data
<audy>
which all cost way more than $150k
<audy>
especially in the bay area
<audy>
I met a guy the other day who is building a chat bot for a Big Profitable Company. He told me that instead of deep learning, they just use regular expressions
<audy>
ELLIOTTCABLE: what do you want to do with the big iron?
<Pyrrh>
but I will take a photo directly from the back later too
<joepie91>
audy: makes sense - using regular expressions means you have control over how it responds
<pikajude>
yeah, so...
<pikajude>
hack is cool
<pikajude>
but when you have a bunch of HH_FIXMEs in the code, it's not as cool
<joepie91>
lol
<pikajude>
The Game is stupid and i don't know why it's a thing
<ljharb>
like, the one you just lost? or the michael douglas movie
<pikajude>
that one
<pikajude>
first one
<ljharb>
ah lol
<ljharb>
all that kind of anonymous meme stuff is stupid. hey did you know if your hand is bigger than your face you have "insert dangerous disease here"?
<ljharb>
also hey what's the capital of thailand
<ljharb>
(this one's probably less common) but also, hey did you see my new watch
<pikajude>
i'm not familiar with that one
<ljharb>
it's when you wrap your junk around your wrist so that when you ask about your watch, people naturally glance down to your wrist and see it
