mircea_popescu is fucking
tempted
to
try and find one here. i bet you it exists.
mircea_popescu actually said "well obviously" in class when learning about
teh space race from soviet perspective. "FIRST SATELLITE!111"
mircea_popescu: this buran item, made out of solid steel, huge noise. i said it scared
the shit out of me and iirc you said
the same
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah,
that's where you
teach
them
they're chickenshits. remember
the vacuum ?

the Google engineers don't want
to use Android, while insisting mobile/touchscreen is
teh "future".
mircea_popescu: "It’s unacceptable when
the Master of your college is dismissive of your experiences."
mircea_popescu: soviets ashamed of
themselves ? sort-of like going
to
the strip club
to watch a bunch of nude ladies bent like
teens and protecting
their pubenda.
mircea_popescu: im kinda miffed we don't get moar of
the "precious indications at
the xth congress" solemnity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems
to be
the plan for "continued economic growth"
shinohai: can confirm, a bot on
tardstalk yields gems
mircea_popescu: "They have again and again shown
that
they are committed
to an ideal of free speech, not
to
the Silliman community."

this works. We’ll be rolling
this feature out on Inbox for Android and iOS later
this week, and we hope you’ll
try it for yourself!

mircea_popescu: they do it everywhere, step 1 : replace food with synthetic condensate, which doesn't work as food ; 2 : go
to doctor
to cure your problems arising from
the fact
that you don't eat food, you eat
tyres and wd40.
mircea_popescu: this fucking us insanity. step 1 : replace computer with phone, which does not work as computer ; step 2 : stop doing
the
things you used
to do on compuer you can't now do on phone.

the same rate as
the glazing,
the window seals are stressed markedly less, improving
the system's longevity by reducing condensation and air infiltration
jurov: dunno, maybe
they service it with
tunnelling microscope in hard vacuum
BingoBoingo: Or jsut
take it
to
the local jewler for service. Warranties are overrated.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ok, $2k servicing. but still ! << What you can't do
this at home?

pete_dushenski: not one such 'graphics adapter'
that i could find was produced by a manufacturer
that i'd ever heard of. all seemed
to be chinese 'brands',
the
type
that horribly misspell labels
assbot: Logged on 08-11-2015 18:56:46; asciilifeform: example. some months ago, i
tried one of
those 'usb 3.0
to flatpanel' gizmos.
pete_dushenski: punkman: if it mobile/touch wasn't
teh future,
they'd have
to start looking for jobs
that didn't require
them
to live in
truck
trailers in
the parking lot
trinque: and incidentally adlai
this one when finished will be released as a deed itself.
punkman: even
the Google engineers don't want
to use Android, while insisting mobile/touchscreen is
teh "future".
☟︎ trinque: phf:
thanks for
the example code for cl-irc; works well. I'm now porting over
the deed handling code from my wad of python.
punkman: except
they stop working after a couple years
pete_dushenski: i
thought it was one of
those 'fun' prototypes for wanking each other off
to. but it's actually being implemented.
pete_dushenski: We’re actually pretty amazed at how well
this works. We’ll be rolling
this feature out on Inbox for Android and iOS later
this week, and we hope you’ll

☟︎ pete_dushenski: so
the system would lean on
them as a safe bet if it was unsure. Normalizing
the likelihood of a candidate reply by some measure of
that response's prior probability forced
the model
to predict responses
that were not just highly likely, but also had high affinity
to
the original message.
This made for a less lovey, but far more useful, email assistant.
pete_dushenski: "Another bizarre feature of our early prototype was its propensity
to respond with “I love you”
to seemingly anything. As adorable as
this sounds, it wasn’t really what we were hoping for. Some analysis revealed
that
the system was doing exactly what we’d
trained it
to do, generate likely responses -- and it
turns out
that responses like “Thanks", "Sounds good", and “I love you” are super common --
punkman: "But replying
to email on mobile is a real pain, even for short replies." oh so Android sucks for doing anything?
pete_dushenski: "answering email on your mobile is hard and

TO YOUR EMAILS FOR YOU ?"
☟︎ punkman: guess I'll call
the company
that installed
them
punkman: no pitting on mine, just
that whitish growth
assbot: Logged on 08-11-2015 16:45:02; mircea_popescu: hilary doesn't stand a chance, in
this atmosphere. for
that matter, it wouldn't be surprising if
the democratic party splits up, in multiple bits even.
pete_dushenski: though
this similarity in
the coefficient of expansion assumes a
triple-glazing, which is relatively common here, whereas milder climates will use double, even single-glazed windows
pete_dushenski: also, because it expands and contracts at essentially
the same rate as
the glazing,
the window seals are stressed markedly less, improving
the system's longevity by reducing condensation and air infiltration
☟︎ punkman: how's fibreglass work for
that
pete_dushenski just realised how shocked he'd be
to find a fibreglass-framed window anywhere in greece
pete_dushenski: maybe replace
them with fibreglass ? or
tell landlord
to ?
pete_dushenski: sounds like
the protective anodised coating on your aluminum frames has lost
the battle against mother nature
punkman: pete_dushenski: whatever it is
that's happening. it looks pretty weird
pete_dushenski: "Christakis hasn’t checked in on any of us. He hasn’t given us any indication
that he is going
to or wants
to heal
the community. If you know I’m in pain and you aren’t doing anything
to
try
to help me,
then how can you be sorry? Christakis is
the Master of Silliman College, it is his job
to
take care of us, and he is failing." << so much lose it wins.
punkman: so question for engineers: I have an aluminum window casing
that's corroding in a couple spots around
the edges, and corroded part is growing outwards something like puffy/powdery flakes. been
trying
to find
the
technical
term
to no avail.
mod6: However,
the head proved an irresistible
target for students, especially from King's College London, who stole
the head in 1975 and demanded a ransom of £100
to be paid
to
the charity Shelter. UCL finally agreed
to pay a ransom of £10 and
the head was returned. "
