<bofh> re: south america: it's a full disk imaging from a geosynchronous orbit. and yeah, it seems like it was over south america at the time.
<SnoopJeDi> yea I can see what they were talking about so I'm being a *little* flippant about that

<bofh> SnoopJeDi: I... can't? I'm just confused.
<bofh> what *are* they talking about.
<SnoopJeDi> I assume that band of clouds which is probably a front? I don't actually into weather though
<SnoopJeDi> but I would assume the clear region is a high and it was chilly where the clouds were or some-such (and this person was on the west coast I guess?)

<egg> UmbralRaptor: are velociraptors cats,
<whitequark> why are spiders
<UmbralRaptor> egg: only the nocturnal ones.
<UmbralRaptor> probably
<egg> whitequark: the context for this joke in the /topic is that astronomers call catadioptric telescopes (Schmidt–Cassegrain, Максутов, etc.) cats
<SnoopJeDi> whitequark, you seem like a decent person to ask. re: genomics, do you know if there's any good jumping-in lit review level publication for the Human Genome Project?
<SnoopJeDi> I poked around a bit but couldn't find publications per se, just PR sorts of material
<whitequark> not sure
<SnoopJeDi> Okie doke, I'll just have to make some time to poke harder (or not, since it's a fairly idle curiosity)
* SnoopJeDi glances at half-read lit review of sleep deprivation in humans
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: link? moderately curious
<kmath> https://twitter.com/jgerity/status/923234036360900608 <jgerity> @stephentyrone lmao perfect summary of field equations my dude ?
<SnoopJeDi> tl;dr (AIUI): the deactivation of the bottom-up brain becomes rapidly unstable in sleep-deprived subjects, so the default mode network re-emerges more often when you're tired
<SnoopJeDi> (Goleman's book "Focus" was a fun read about the surprising connection between emotional and attention circuitry)
<bofh> Huh, now I'm curious if this is why dopamibe reuptake inhibitors work so well at counteracting that (esp. for me), since they prevent more-or-less that from happening.
<bofh> (Huh, I think I need to give that a read)
