[04:10:37] <Bytram> nograb
[04:11:31] <Bytram> cmn32480: the 'Google AI beats Human at Go' story looks to be a dupe.
[04:11:41] <cmn32480> yes... I think so.
[04:11:43] <Bytram> delete it, if you agree; (see the editor'snotes)
[04:11:58] <cmn32480> soon as I am done w/ the drug shortages
[04:12:10] <Bytram> you have a lab in your home?
[04:12:32] <cmn32480> yes
[04:12:37] <cmn32480> but it is only a computer lab
[04:12:41] * Bytram knowing my luck,it's prolly a chocolate lab
[04:13:03] <cmn32480> but at one point we had a chow retriever mix, that's almost like having a lab
[04:13:13] <Bytram> agreed
[04:13:28] * Bytram had a chow mix, once. loved to RUN!
[04:13:53] <cmn32480> ours loved to run after hooker and blow
[04:14:11] <Bytram> woof! Meow! Meow!
[04:14:12] <Bytram> right?
[04:16:19] <cmn32480> yeps
[04:17:42] <Bytram> I see what is happening... we both look at the story queue, figure out the time slot we want, and by the time we have actually updated a story to use it, the other one has come to the same-ish time for release and goes about aiming for that time, too.
[04:17:51] <cmn32480> uh huh
[04:18:45] <cmn32480> it is kinda funny.... but a touch frustrating
[04:19:25] <Bytram> would be nice, when looking at a *submission* to decide on a time, and set it up at the outset, instead of having to wait until after one has already clicked on 'preview'
[04:19:42] <Bytram> drug shortages story:
[04:19:51] <Bytram> 1.) need to uncapitalize some worsds int he title
[04:19:58] <cmn32480> go for it
[04:20:07] <Bytram> 2.) 'The New York Times' should be italicized
[04:20:08] <Bytram> will do
[04:22:05] * Bytram has a pet peeve, it's called 'The New York Times', NOT the 'New York Times' -- the 'The' is part of the name of the publication
[04:23:36] <Bytram> 2nding of that story completed.
[04:28:18] <Bytram> break time
[04:34:31] <Bytram> cmn32480: FYI: saw a 43" 4K 120Hz TV at wally world today for $538
[04:34:50] <cmn32480> chichung brand no doubt
[04:35:19] <Bytram> was a name brand... tizio or however it' spelled (IIRC)
[04:35:28] <cmn32480> vizio
[04:35:40] <Bytram> yeah, I *think* that was it.
[04:35:54] <Bytram> out of my budget, but was impressed at how much the price has come down
[04:36:00] <cmn32480> that's a well know inexpensinve for a good tv brand
[04:36:13] <cmn32480> but no tv's are in my budget atm
[04:37:07] <Bytram> I was thinking of using it as a computer monitor
[04:37:40] <cmn32480> not for $500
[04:37:55] <Bytram> looks like you decided for the detachanble cabin story, too
[04:38:08] <cmn32480> you can get a $200 non-4k tv as a monitor
[04:38:13] <cmn32480> I can get out if you want ti
[04:38:28] <Bytram> yeah, but I want the 4K -- never enough real estate on my screen
[04:38:33] <Bytram> nah, it's yours
[04:38:57] <cmn32480> good luck driving it
[04:39:01] <Bytram> txting at night
[04:39:12] * Bytram just needs to get power steering
[04:41:10] <cmn32480> you coudn't drive it with that laptop
[04:41:25] <cmn32480> the VGA won't go that high, neighter will the display port
[04:41:31] <Bytram> yeah, I know. :(
[04:41:39] <cmn32480> and a Displaylink to support 4k woudl require USB3.0
[04:42:02] <Bytram> yep, display port 1.4 (IIRC) is required in order to handle that, or, as you pointed out, USB 3.0
[04:42:31] <Bytram> another time collision
[04:42:39] <Bytram> I'll move mine, this time
[04:42:46] <cmn32480> lol
[04:42:51] <Bytram> next time, you get to reschdule =)
