<ec> pikajude: -
<pikajude> hey ec
<ec> o7
<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

<ec> 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
<audy> Big Iron? Like the one in The Iron Giant?
<audy> oh you mean Deep Learnings
<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> ELLIOTTCABLE: I put a weird butt on twitter
<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
<pikajude> oh. ok
