<UmbralRaptop>
<GlassYuri> I'm not a software engineer, I'm a game developer, the difference being that the standards are even lower
<awang>
Came across it and remembered you saying something about wanting to do some font-related fuzzing
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptor, from a scientific conetxt: what the hell is a standard
<UmbralRaptor>
SnoopJeDi: that thing that makes grad students cry because it doesn't actually exist?
<UmbralRaptor>
Alternatively, we do have it for units!
<SnoopJeDi>
who do you think is making the mess? :P
* SnoopJeDi
🔪 libraries that are concatenations of vaguely related theses with a gilding of consistency
* SnoopJeDi
🔪 codebase with foo->finalize() and foo->finalise()
<e_14159>
So, apparently my master's student wants to discuss grading.
<SnoopJeDi>
is this the same student who has just defended, e_14159?
<e_14159>
Yes
<e_14159>
And the same student who told me after his presentation that a 1.3 or 1 would be good for him.
<e_14159>
(German grades: 1.0 to 4.0 in 0.3 steps are passing grades; 1.0 is the best possible. In a master's thesis at my uni, the only grades actually given are 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, and 2.0; extremely seldom there's a 2.3)
<SnoopJeDi>
LOL
<SnoopJeDi>
He sounds...confident?
<e_14159>
Yes. His model also is the world's first XY (it's not an XY), and performs great (worse than the baseline), and would perform better if he'd had more GPU time (on average, more than six have been idle and available during his thesis), and wants to publish a paper with me about that.
<SnoopJeDi>
this is basically my nightmare
<e_14159>
As a student or as an advisor?
<SnoopJeDi>
the former. being hapless *AND* unaware of it
<e_14159>
I agree. That's a nightmare scenario
<e_14159>
A large bias in your own self-perception; and how would you calibrate it?
<SnoopJeDi>
I am at least aware of my own feckless nature as a student :P
<e_14159>
You don't happen to study the impostor syndrome?
<UmbralRaptor>
e_14159: aaaaaaaaa
<SnoopJeDi>
e_14159, naw, just a bad fit for academia and maybe a little too complacent
<SnoopJeDi>
I assume your student is at least passing, though...?
<e_14159>
That he is, yes.
<e_14159>
UmbralRaptor: bbbbbbbbbbbbb
<SnoopJeDi>
if not passing as a stunning paragon who will shake the field to its bedrock, heh

"Exceptional" is the word you're looking for. "Lasting impression on his colleagues", another

The log site thing is supposed to be logs.tmsp.io, right?
<SnoopJeDi>
egg apparently said something yesterday about the logs being broken

I like how the Louvre is so gigantic that we saw about 33% of one exhibit, briskly went thru one room f another, and were basically constantly wakking, reading or discussing the immediate exhibit

that place is *huge*
