<raptop> hopefully it won't be for something critical
<e_14159_> That's the advantage of doing a PhD. You can be sure it's not for something critical :D

<SaganRaptop> Noo, you can't just do all your number crunching on your laptop when we have a giant cluster
<SaganRaptop> haha, fan go brrr
<SnoopJeDi> I'm so ambivalent about HPC
<SaganRaptop> Incientally, our cluster is old
<kmath> <✔ID_AA_Carmack> Someone noticed that when you have hundreds / thousands of cores in a supercomputer, the individual utilization box… https://t.co/kV5zcSmnAK
<SaganRaptop> Meanwhile, my laptop has the fanciest processor I could find last summer
<SnoopJeDi> SaganRaptop, a lot of my ambivalence probably comes from how hard it is to work parallelism into the more interesting problems in accelerators
<SaganRaptop> fair
<SnoopJeDi> probably more embarrassingly-parallel stuff in analysis
<SnoopJeDi> but also I think about https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2013/hadoop_hatred.html a lot
<SaganRaptop> Is this the one where a few smol shell scripts offered multiple order of magnitude advantages?
<SnoopJeDi> ye
<SnoopJeDi> or just like, grep
<SaganRaptop> I feel like the maximal trolly use of a 600 MB CSV in my field would be doing all the analysis in TOPCAT

<e_14159_> SaganRaptop, SnoopJeDi: In my experience there are mostly two different types of data: Stuff I load into RAM, and images.
<SnoopJeDi> what's the difference 😈
<SaganRaptop> e_14159_: I'm reminded of how tutorials on Astro Image J make a point of considering settings for opening sets of images so you don't run out of RAM
<SaganRaptop> LDT?
<SaganRaptop> LBT?

<e_14159_> SnoopJeDi: The difference is I don't have enough RAM per GPU to reliably open all images :-)
<e_14159_> SaganRaptop: Oh yes, that makes perfect sense. Somehow laptops don't have unlimited RAM. Really irritating...
<SnoopJeDi> e_14159_, I'm just being cheeky since I very much subscribe to "it's all data"
<SaganRaptop> Sometimes it's not Data, but Lore (ie: evil)

<SnoopJeDi> SaganRaptop, watched Chains of Command with my gf last night, so good ;_;
<SaganRaptop> :D
<SnoopJeDi> it's crazy to rewatch it knowing now that David Warner took the role with 3 days of notice and didn't memorize his lines
<SnoopJeDi> he was reading them over Patrick Stewart's shoulder haha
<SnoopJeDi> s/Chains/Chain/
<galois> SnoopJeDi meant to say: SaganRaptop, watched Chain of Command with my gf last night, so good ;_;
<e_14159_> SnoopJeDi: Ah. Never saw that.
<SnoopJeDi> e_14159_, if you're not a Trek fan but are curious how you'd feel about it, First Contact is an extremely good self-contained story to sample it

<e_14159_> SnoopJeDi: I do remember watching the original star trek... probably ten, fifteen years ago. I wasn't hooked then (also, TV schedule)
<e_14159_> Now I don't have the time :D
<e_14159_> Well, maybe come August.
<SnoopJeDi> heh
<SnoopJeDi> I watched TOS around them as well, in undergrad
<SnoopJeDi> ...on my Wii >_>
<e_14159_> I do believe that dates us as ancient :D
<SnoopJeDi> hardly :)
<SaganRaptop> e_14159_: Will you be fighting a snake in August?
<e_14159_> SaganRaptop: No, hopefully in September
<e_14159_> Metaphorical, that is

<e_14159_> So the amount of hate decreases?
<SnoopJeDi> the representation is spatiotemporal
<SnoopJeDi> it's a direct analog to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_(archaeology)
<galois> [WIKIPEDIA] Tell (archaeology) | "In archaeology, a tell or tel (derived from Arabic: تَل‎, tall, 'mound' or 'small hill'), is an artificial mound formed from the accumulated remains of mudbricks and other refuse of generations of people living on the same site for hundreds or thousands of years. A classic tell looks like a low, truncated..."
<e_14159_> So you're excavating fans? A noble endeavour :P
<SnoopJeDi> it's a remarkably thorough OC for a shitposting group
<e_14159_> Then again, shitposting often produces amazing content
<SnoopJeDi> yea like the entirety of Voyager

<SnoopJeDi> counterpoint: I'm consistently impressed by how well Discord does. I mean, it's definitely still an Electron app, but it's like a breath of fresh air in comparison.
<SaganRaptop> Yeah, Discord seems way lighter weight. No IRSSI, but still...
