[01:22:52] <carny> if they were looting how exactly are they innocent?
[01:23:00] <carny> or am i missing something?
[01:32:50] <chromas> just not doing anything at the time they're picked up
[01:34:11] <chromas> Think of how, say, Walmart can track people around the store with neural networks monitoring the cameras, but transfer it to street cams, livestreams and maybe a circling drone
[01:34:34] <chromas> Then you can track looters and pick 'em up later on when they're less dangerous
[01:34:45] <chromas> assuming the technology correctly IDs them of course
[02:09:03] <nutherguy> Looters Lives Matter carny
[02:09:17] <nutherguy> just because they were caught on camera, you can't assume they are guilty

[02:28:11] <nutherguy> email sez, "pharma companies already paid billions in taxpayer money"
[02:28:20] <nutherguy> problem is, it ain't taxpayer money
[02:28:40] <nutherguy> they just print that shit freely, like printing pretty toilet paper
[02:29:23] <chromas> even cheaper 'cause it's digital
[02:29:44] <nutherguy> however many digits you like!
[02:30:54] <chromas> Currency moneys = 60000000000000000;
[02:31:25] <nutherguy> That's old hat - use scientific notation for better results
[02:32:01] * nutherguy doesn't know how to scientific note
[02:32:49] <nutherguy> hmmmmph - how IS it done on the keyboard?
[02:33:42] <chromas> Good idea. Money's always better stored in floats.
[02:34:10] <nutherguy> How do I enter numbers in scientific notation?
[02:34:10] <nutherguy> You may enter numbers in scientific notation, often called exponential notation, using the "e" format common to computer programs.
[02:34:30] <nutherguy> 1/0e-6
[02:34:35] <nutherguy> derp
[02:34:49] <nutherguy> 1.0e-9
[02:36:49] <nutherguy> 4^3
[02:37:15] <nutherguy> nothin looks quite right
[02:37:34] <nutherguy> 2.2^4
[02:37:36] <chromas> It's probably your font.
[02:38:05] <nutherguy> probably - I use Google's all-purpose font
[02:38:27] <nutherguy> uninstalled about 5,000 fonts, and installed that one super-font instead
[02:38:46] <nutherguy> then I blocked web fonts
[02:38:50] <chromas> When I install the google font, I get about 5,000 variants, so I guess that makes up for it
[02:38:59] <nutherguy> roughly, yes
[02:39:05] <chromas> they all look the same
[02:39:17] <nutherguy> I agree, but isn't that heresy?
[02:39:38] <nutherguy> A few fonts really look different, like wing-dings
[02:39:43] <nutherguy> most fonts do look alike
[02:39:49] <chromas> "Noto Sans"~$random_name
[02:40:15] <nutherguy> not 0 sans
[02:40:18] <chromas> dropped a space in my literal; now you're all really confused.
[02:41:17] <nutherguy> Do I have to install another notO to get scientific notation?
[02:42:14] <nutherguy> ahhhhhh - precambrian math font family
[02:42:45] <chromas> actually doesn't that just require superscripts? that's more of a font rendering than the font itself
[02:43:11] <chromas> although with unicode, you can probably both pick out special superscript characters as well as the color of each one
[02:43:59] <chromas> ⁰¹³²⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹
[02:45:04] <nutherguy> Too much trouble - don't want to strain my brain
[02:46:18] <chromas> Small numbers will do that
[02:46:35] * chromas fills in for zumi while she's away
[02:47:33] <nutherguy> That does it - now I'm crosseyed from trying to see the difference in a couple of fonts
[02:47:51] <nutherguy> Why did they ever switch from 12 point PICA?
[02:48:57] <chromas> You can change the size if it's too small for you to see.
[02:49:05] <chromas> Of course, I never have that problem
[02:50:38] <nutherguy> LOL, I think that one went right past you
[02:51:04] <chromas> It was too small to notice; sorry :(
[02:57:07] <nutherguy> Ugghhh - it actually looks ugly on a computer screen
[02:57:43] <nutherguy> that would definitely slow my reading
[02:59:35] <nutherguy> maybe not so bad after making some adjustments - but I'm still cross eyed from all the fonts
[02:59:40] <nutherguy> time to do something else
