could you imagine if that's how hiring went?

Explicitly stochastic hiring would be an improvement for some institutions

B787_300 meant to say: SilverFox: as long as i get a response i am pretty happy

ah thank you for that correction, I wasnt able to understand it otherwise

mofh: I just remembered that vi quốc is just the sino-viet reading of 国
<egg|work|egg>
mofh: which I'd pronounce [wəwk˧˥] :-p
<egg|work|egg>
[kuo³⁵], [wəwk˧˥], same thing,
<mofh>
I mean the Middle Chinese was [kwok], Mandarin just likes dropping word-final obstruents (both Cantionese and, say, Shanghainese retain the final k in that word). And at that point the Viet isstarting to look quite familiar imho. :P
<mofh>
semi-relatedly, excrement is *really* hitting the ventilator in HK right now.
<mofh>
like, the protestors stormed the legislature levels of shit going down.
<mofh>
(I really, really, really hope it goes well for them and I've honestly been nothing short of amazed the past few days).
<mofh>
I've seen the videos, it's tamer than a typical Saturday in Paris the last few months :p
<egg|work|egg>
mofh: well, the south viet is kinda wonky
<egg|work|egg>
mofh: i mean, storming official buildings goes beyond your usual saturday
<egg|work|egg>
mofh: that's more like november, and that was the really bad bit of it
<mofh>
egg|work|egg: I mean the stakes in HK are literally the future autonomy of the region and it's basically a now-or-never situation given what Beijing's been doing lately.
<mofh>
egg|work|egg: the stakes in November were, uh... I'm still not quite sure. gas tax? we want to light some buildings on fire? I mean there *is* systemic inequality here that deserves riots, and I'm pissed that Macron backpedaled on an additional tax on the richest 20% (I do wonder how much got paid under the table for that), but still, the activation energy for "let's light some buildings on fire" in FR
<mofh>
is amusingly low.

egg, do you guys take advantage of GPU compute for N-body physics?
<egg>
no
<SilverFox>
Do you have any plans to?
<egg|zzz|egg>
no
<SilverFox>
Sick aight
<egg|zzz|egg>
this is very sequential ultimately
<SilverFox>
sequential how?
<egg|zzz|egg>
in that every stage of the integrator requires information from the entire previous stage, for all other bodies
<egg|zzz|egg>
so it's not parallel for long
<egg|zzz|egg>
it can be parallel between vessels when they are integrated in an ephemeris (and we do use that parallelism); but in that case you have immense amounts of code and logic in each thread
<SilverFox>
right right
<SilverFox>
I figure you take a "snapshot" similar as what I did with KWS, so that you can factor each body's affects on another, without it being thrown off skew, yeah?

I have no idea what you're talking about
<kmath>
<whitequark> this gives the phrase "sticky bit" a completely new and very specific meaning ⏎ https://t.co/xAC32WloS2
<whitequark>
:D
<egg>
whitequark: btw, mofh informed me that there are smol candy bars that are called "bites" in English, which makes sense and isn't very funny per se
<egg>
however, canada
<whitequark>
however, canada
<egg>
whitequark: "bite" (as in, that which is obtained by biting/the quantity that you eat in one bite) translates to french as "bouchée" (mouthful if you want)
<egg>
whitequark: so very logically, bilingual canadian packaging for those things has "bites" "bouchées"
<egg>
whitequark: however
<egg>
whitequark: bouchée is *also* the feminine past participle of the verb boucher, "to clog"
<egg>
and (most) adjectives are placed after the noun that they qualify
<egg>
whitequark: so this packaging, if you read all of it in french, says, in perfectly syntactically correct and idiomatic french, "clogged dicks"
<egg>
whitequark: well, "to clog"/"to plug" that sort of thing
UmbralRaptor has quit [Ping timeout: 202 seconds]
<egg>
putting the stopper back on a bottle would use that verb as well, so it's not just "clogging", but it does include that
<egg>
whitequark: and yes, mofh's link is a page full of candy bars that say "clogged dicks" on the packaging.
<egg>
canada!
<mofh>
I'm just astounded *Nestlé* of all people managed to pull this off, you'd think that they'd be able to find, like, one French speaker there that'd tell them.
<mofh>
(Or maybe they all just thought it too funny and decided to let the company go thru with it for their own amusement, which... actually yeah that makes sense).
<egg>
mofh: does it weird out the locals, or is it just fr-FR though
<egg>
fr-CA speakers find a lot of fr-FR profanity foreign and weird, and vice-versa, so it's possible it doesn't mean that in the local language
<mofh>
egg: it's a running joke for the locals, rofl.
<egg>
okay
<mofh>
I mean fr-CA does have some weird things, like you get sweared at and your first instinct is "wait when did I step into a Catholic mass?"
<mofh>
But 'bit' is consistent between both.
<egg>
no "bit" means "bit"
<egg>
you mean "bite" presumably

yes that
<mofh>
look transcribing silent letters is hard sometimes

so it's from "mooring dick" except in writing

I have to put up with quebec french shenanigans
<SilverFox>
calling a car an "urkshaw"
<SilverFox>
however it's spelled, only heard it, but a car is an urkshaw
<egg>
fr-CA famously uses "char" for car (which in fr-FR means either tank or chariot); I suspect what you're parsing that way is this, preceded by another word which you mistakenly fuse therein
<egg>
mofh: raining quite a bit now
<SilverFox>
nope, coworker who speaks french from quebec when I was like "the word for car is urkshaw" because I was wondering what the word was, turns out the word I wanted was voiture, but thats elitist french apparently
<egg>
voiture is fr-FR
<SilverFox>
yeah
<egg>
SilverFox: but it may be that the word that you're fusing into "char" is just the article
<SilverFox>
I'll get him to spell it, hold on
<SilverFox>
now we wait, I'll be back *waves cape and disappears into the night*
<SilverFox>
okay back with info, it is indeed char, un char, but they fucking add a k sound with accent
* UmbralRaptop
can only read "char" as a C datatype
