<egg|nomz|egg> NomalRaptor: stabby cat!
<NomalRaptor> Well, yes. Cats are stabbier than knives.
<Iskierka> stabby telescope?
NomalRaptor is now known as UmbralRaptor
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: well, stabby binoculars.
<UmbralRaptor> Consider: a knife has 2 ends, one of which is stabby. A (meowing) cat has 6 ends, 5 of which are stabby.
<Iskierka> this is clearly insufficient stabby
<egg|nomz|egg> !wpn Iskierka

<SnoopJeDi> bofh, 2017 and QKD is still something people get riled up about in quantum crypto :/

icefire has joined #kspacademia
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: well yes, these are practical implementations of QKD, something in short supply.
<SnoopJeDi> I know I'm just being a curmudgeon, it's still neat
<bofh> like I mean quite frankly I'm exasperated at the focus on QC, which I think is on the whole interesting but not in the way many (incl. A LOT OF RESEARCHERS) see it as being.
<bofh> but like this stuff is still neat, just as advances in, say, ion trapping or light interferometry as a result of QC is
<SnoopJeDi> oh yes my gripe definitely extends well into that
<SnoopJeDi> "it's quantum so it's gotta be a lot more advanced and betterer right?"
<SnoopJeDi> "well, you have to unders--" "WOO IFLSCIENCE"
<SnoopJeDi> but yes absolutely agreed, QKD technology is still frickin cool
<bofh> goddamnit I hate those 'science porn' sites
<bofh> they're all utter dogshite
<UmbralRaptor> "No, you're just staring at science's butt as it walks past."
<SnoopJeDi> out of curiosity bofh how do you feel about phys.org
<UmbralRaptor> (...does this mean that many grad students are in an abusive relationship?)
<SnoopJeDi> that's an alarmingly good analogy UmbralRaptor
<UmbralRaptor> I'm riffing off of http://explosm.net/comics/3557/ anyway.
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: hate, rage, etc
<SnoopJeDi> I've gone back and forth on them over time
<SnoopJeDi> at least they link to papers now though
<bofh> it only took like nearly a decade, but yeah, that is a point in their favour now
<SnoopJeDi> yea
<bofh> on that note, what's your opinion on /r/science?
<SnoopJeDi> unsubbed within my first year, don't have any warm recollections
<SnoopJeDi> r/askscience has its moments but I don't trawl reddit for science much
