"First of all, the new result excludes α = 1/137 at 1 million sigma, dealing a mortal blow to the field of epistemological numerology. Perhaps more importantly, the result is relevant for testing the Standard Model."

e_14159, that fake olive garden neural net thing floated around at happy hour last week and I had to be That Guy and tell everyone it's fake :|
<e_14159>
Which one was that?
<UmbralRaptor>
If you're importing from __future__, you should look into if switching to 3 is practical.
<e_14159>
UmbralRaptor: from pathlib import Happiness
<SnoopJeDi>
yea, print_function and division were such common imports for me that I got over the laziness hump
<kmath>
<JanelleCShane> These "I forced a bot to watch X" posts are almost certainly 100% human-written with no bot involved. Here's how yo… https://t.co/owRkyktuAi

e_14159: today in libraries that will never exist… =\
<SnoopJeDi>
It's a great joke, but letting people believe it is a *little* dangerous
<e_14159>
SnoopJeDi: One second, twitter doesn't like me.

e_14159, it's been kind of interesting to find out the wide variety of nothing that people know about LHC
<UmbralRaptor>
hydrocarbon chaos on twitter!
<SnoopJeDi>
Some of my casual acquaintances have approximate knowledge of many things!
<e_14159>
We should build a deep learning particle accelerator. Evil AI black holes!
<SnoopJeDi>
I sent you that detector-side modeling GAN, right?
<e_14159>
I think so
<SnoopJeDi>
feed it some GEANT simulations and cross-sections of events as they'd appear in the detector, and let it go nuts
<SnoopJeDi>
learned some cool features
<UmbralRaptor>
SnoopJeDi: approximate as in stuff egg does for fun, or…?
<e_14159>
My translation model, on the other hand, still gave me "weltfrieden weltfrieden weltfrieden weltfrieden blödmann blödmann weltfrieden weltfrieden", so...

Got some images here that have a .ccitt extension
<bofh>
I mean G4-CCITT isn't bad on monochrome images tbh
<bofh>
A *lot* of PDFs use it internally, esp. ones made with s/w that doesn't support jbig2 encoding.
<awang_>
So I learned the hard way

Converting it is proving to be more difficult than I expected

Apparently Thunderbird and K-9 aren't good enough for you? Is federation really that bad?
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: bofh: I really like the transfer that consists in "launch in a parking orbit with the right inclination, wait for J2 to precess the node into the plane of the Moon's orbit"
<egg>
(you can't do that without Principia! :-p)
<bofh>
I mean there's genuinely a *lot* you can't do w/o Principia in KSP.
<UmbralRaptop>
