[20:57:07] <guy_> They sell you a subscription for services they can't deliver, and leave you relying on 4G

[20:41:46] <FatPhil> near is a flexible term

[18:23:26] <requerdanos> that's probably the only way to get anything useful out of it, yeah
[18:17:30] <chromas> Be sure to add a little noise to your delta collection for better output
[18:11:49] <requerdanos> I would enjoy monitoring the deltas of successive "add noise to get better data" stories, sure.
[17:55:08] <chromas> or is there just going to be a string of "add noise to get better data" stories? Is added noise the new deeplearn cloudscale?
[17:54:35] <chromas> hm, and so is the paper
[17:54:01] <chromas> I was gonna point out that the sensor noise post was a dupe but it turns out the phys.org story is itself the dupe

[16:37:37] <carny> well those people are already immune to consequences

[16:36:41] <carny> you can libel anybody you want as long as you include enough weasel words like appear
[16:36:06] <carny> requerdanos: it's simple and cheap legal self defense
[16:35:19] <AzumaHazuki> can't talk bad about the rich people
[16:35:12] <AzumaHazuki> hell if i know why. oh wait: money
[16:34:46] <requerdanos> Amazon review fakers appear to profit -- do they or don't they?
[16:34:32] <requerdanos> A politician gets caught saying something patently false, "Politician appears to tell falsehood" - did they or didn't they?
[16:34:14] <RandomFactor> Hmmm, seems like that's the case
[16:33:56] <requerdanos> Last year and this year I have noticed a lot of the word "appear"/"appears" in headlines. Wonder why.
[16:28:57] <AzumaHazuki> that, and a sort of humor-oriented Dunning-Kruger syndrome
[16:28:34] <AzumaHazuki> day traders come from all kinds of backgrounds, though if you ask me, their only God is Mammon. I'm not seeing the antisemitism from me. from you, definitely.
[16:28:08] <requerdanos> honestly, if I cracked the magic secret and could just daytrade, I surely would.
[16:28:08] <AzumaHazuki> ...huh?
[16:27:52] <carny> cool it with the anti-semitic remarks
[16:27:29] <AzumaHazuki> fuck you, assholes, fuckin' work for your food like everyone else
[16:27:17] <AzumaHazuki> all these day-trading parasites should go get a fuckin' job

[16:20:53] <requerdanos> "Investments may go down in value" takes on a whole new meaning when your investment goes down in value.
[16:20:36] <FatPhil> how many of them on leverage? that's the best way to extract maximum tears.

[16:12:57] <RandomFactor> Right, Mach 3 i thhink
[16:12:44] <requerdanos> and brahmos is by comparison merely supersonic, right?
[16:12:16] <RandomFactor> hypersonic is what.... Mach5+ or something like that
[16:12:01] <requerdanos> I am just unclear on the difference between supersonic and hypersonic I guess.
[16:11:47] <RandomFactor> Referring to the c0lo sub above
[16:11:02] <requerdanos> okay.
[16:10:16] <RandomFactor> India's BrahMos was already a beast

[15:44:09] <AzumaHazuki> got a final interview at 10 AM on 11 September...eek. i hate in person interviews, jesus
[15:32:14] <AzumaHazuki> i would hope so
[15:31:27] <chromas> Maybe those are the fizz-buzz of the medical industry
[15:21:09] <FatPhil> but it would take an infinite amount of time to write down the answer!

[02:12:08] <Deucalion> Sorry, that was probably a little harshly toned.
[02:11:53] <Deucalion> i.e. No-one is getting paid here. I'm CEO and IRC admin and that applies. Don't bitch about the content if you're not willing to lift a finger to help out.
[02:09:46] <Deucalion> requerdanos, if that irks you for some reason, please volunteer to be an editor, then you get to pick and choose what hits the front page. SN is wholly driven by volunteer effort. The sub payments get consumed by running the servers and the accounting and legal fees we have to endure by existing.
