[09:43:31] <janrinok> It's still in the trial phase, but FP's 'drown 'em in beer' appears to be working well
[09:44:19] <chromas> Mmm, Beer Trials
[09:47:50] <carny> steak ums are 1000 times less disgusting than all those fake meat products
[09:48:09] <carny> it's really just hamburger pressed super thin
[09:48:28] <carny> so it cooks in seconds on the grill instead of minutes
[09:49:16] <janrinok> quite probably, but we eat plenty of vegetables with our meat. I do enjoy a good steak, but prefer it with plenty of other things on the plate too
[09:49:29] <FatPhil> recovery rate is too small to be distinguishable from noise presently: https://www.koroonakaart.ee

[09:50:40] <janrinok> FatPhil, which county are you in?
[09:50:59] <FatPhil> Harjumaa - half the population lives there
[09:51:28] <janrinok> I guessed that would be the case
[09:52:05] <janrinok> still very much on the early part of the curve - but I hope it stays that way for you too
[09:52:17] <FatPhil> I'm not sure what change in data reporting the health ministry did, so it might take a few days to work out what's really changed. It might be that we just did the chinese +16000 thing.
[09:53:21] <FatPhil> Yeah, I can live with this level of isolation. It's basically like a brutally cold winter day. You go out if you need to, but otherwise not.
[09:53:39] <boru> I'm quite ambivalent about it, also.
[09:53:45] <FatPhil> Gotta find a shop that sells shoelaces before tomorrow, when the shopping centres close down...
[09:54:29] <janrinok> FatPhil, stay safe, and don't trip over your shoelaces!
[09:55:48] <FatPhil> The Italian/Spanish view on my behaviour would be negative, as I do actually go out, but I always go to the same places with the same 2 members of staff, it's just as if we live in the same apartment complex, just with an 80 meter walk between doors.

[09:59:08] <FatPhil> What I don't understand is why women are being tested way more than men - I'm sure it was pretty much agreed that men are more susceptible.
[09:59:19] <janrinok> ... especially if they are French. It's OK, I understand
[09:59:54] <janrinok> I didn't know that they were tested more.
[10:00:44] <janrinok> perhaps they have a higher proportion of pre-existing conditions - that's just a guess of course

[10:06:34] <FatPhil> I hate predictions made from mathematical models. Most of the time you don't even need to run your simulations to know what you're going to get out, because you literally programmed that into your model.
[10:07:36] <FatPhil> It breeds an attitude of complacency, as you are tempted to think you understand how things will progress.
[10:07:37] <janrinok> got to start somewhere I suppose, but you make a fair point
[10:08:05] <FatPhil> I say that as someone who *loves* mathematical models and simulations.
[10:09:42] <FatPhil> I'm happy to say they provide *expectations*, but not *predicitons*. But you still have to track everything as if the model wasn't guiding you, because the model *isn't* guiding you.
[10:11:06] <chromas> You just need moar inputs
[10:11:51] <FatPhil> so you're saying we need moar cases?
[10:11:57] <FatPhil> bring it awwwwn!
[10:15:18] <chromas> You just need to account for more things; weather, TP index, fartrate. Then plug it into a neural net of course. Use the deeplearn.
[10:15:23] <FatPhil> I wonder whether deep learning or "big data" tech could provide any insights that humans aren't spotting. Probably too much noise in the data still, as each country's data is different from each other.
[10:16:08] <chromas> According to recent articles we posted, the solution to noise can be more noise.
[10:16:09] <FatPhil> TP Index is up! Buy Buy Buy!
[10:16:31] <janrinok> I've read over the last week or so that several super computers are being used for just this purpose - I'll try to find the reference again

[11:02:02] <FatPhil> Lots of roadworks being done in the old town today. Some potholes being fixed, some cobbles being relaid, some broken paving stones on sidewalks being replaced. OK< some were working in a group of 3, which is terribly illegal, but these kinds of jobs make sense when the town is a barren wasteland.

[17:34:13] <gozar> That's going straight into the market.
[17:43:11] <FatPhil> I have no idea what that means!
[17:45:25] <FatPhil> I bought a couple hundred litres of aging whiskies at whiskyinvestdirect.com, and the bounce has already begun, I'm up 5% overnight.
[17:45:49] <gozar> It means I'm going to have $10K to invest in April, so I'll be buying low.
[17:46:57] <FatPhil> I got the gist - good luck with what you chose - it was the abbreviations that I didn't recognise.
[17:51:58] <FatPhil> I'm investing in beer and chicken jalfrezi with extra chilis right now. My returns tomorrow will be shit. If I'm lucky.

[18:01:33] <FatPhil> it's one of the lunch places, so I'm not spreading my germs too broadly.
[18:02:42] <janrinok> you are abiding by the rules ('ish) and still living your life. That's got to be worth a lot in the current circumstances.
[18:02:45] <FatPhil> gonna leave the place patting sweat off my brow and blowing my nose, and making pained sounds, that should give me lots of space on the way home.

[18:07:22] <janrinok> what I would give to be in a pub like that nowadays. French bars are nothing like those in the UK. I miss a good real ale pub.
[18:08:10] <FatPhil> well, I' drinking a bucket of Hoegaarden, so it's not exactly a CAMRA fest.

[18:21:05] <Bytram> And, finally, there we go!
[18:21:38] <janrinok> works fine for me too.
[18:22:04] <janrinok> are you sure that you have PM selected as your default browser?
[18:22:12] <Bytram> Certain
[18:22:35] <Bytram> Yes, i can click the link and it ato-opens in PM, now.
[18:22:46] <Bytram> s/ato/auto/
[18:22:47] <exec> <Bytram> Yes, i can click the link and it auto-opens in PM, now.
[18:23:05] <janrinok> I blame your left hand pinky - for lack of anything better to blame
[18:23:45] <Bytram> I slightly mis remembered; F@H is 470 petaflops, not 570 I thought it was.
[18:23:57] <Bytram> works for me, well, doesn't work for me!
[18:24:18] <janrinok> wow - that is weak.... er, I don't suppose my local machine is quite up to that yet
[18:25:16] <chromas> slashdot's team contributes betaflops
[18:25:28] <Bytram> blaming that my left-hand pinky doesn't work works for me
[18:25:48] <Bytram> =g summit petaflops

[18:25:50] <janrinok> I take it you haven't put the PM repo into your sources.dir yet. PM should have been updated automatically to 28.8.4
[18:26:23] <Bytram> I'm running Pale Moon v28.9.02 right now
[18:26:45] <chromas> Are you on your Windows or Linux box?
[18:26:47] <janrinok> ooh - you are ahead of the game
[18:26:50] <Bytram> yes
[18:26:54] <Bytram> to both
[18:26:56] <Bytram> =)

[18:28:00] <chromas> Trying to spice things up
[18:29:12] <Bytram> once I found my orig lappy (Hewey) kept collapsing my external display down to internal display dimensions when I switched TV's inputs to the Ubuntu lappy (i.e. away from the windows box), I've been hesitant to do much work on Ubuntu of late... that and the mega-merge of covid-19 stories ad a temporary drought in the story queue
[18:29:38] <chromas> How many inputs does your tv have?
[18:29:55] <chromas> Maybe you could plug the tv into one and the hdmi switch into the other
[18:30:01] <janrinok> I've added a dozen or so subs today
[18:30:14] <Bytram> janrinok++
[18:30:14] <Bender> karma - janrinok: 65
[18:30:26] <Bytram> I like my subs with Salami and cheese
[18:30:50] <Bytram> generally get ham, instead, though as it has less fat
[18:31:04] <Bytram> You are what you eat, right?
[18:31:27] <janrinok> my god - I must have been eating pure lard with a side of bacon
[18:31:48] <Bytram> bacon++
[18:31:48] <Bender> karma - bacon: 337
[18:32:48] <janrinok> I have put on about 10kg since retiring and I am now at 80kg (1m70 in height)
[18:34:20] <Bytram> add a couple cm and subtract 20 kilos and that would be in the ballpark for me
[18:34:29] <chromas> Time to do some wget-ups
[18:34:47] <janrinok> I they like digital press-ups?
[18:34:54] <janrinok> are they*
[18:35:23] <chromas> they're like curl-ups but output to a file by default
[18:35:23] <Bytram> hmm, looks like 5 more cm
[18:35:41] <Bytram> lookslie my get up and go got up and went

[18:46:04] <Bytram> ~seen chopchop1
[18:46:06] <exec> Bytram, chopchop1 was last seen in #soylent 55 days, 2 hours, 4 minutes, 6 seconds ago with message: prolly some trans and midgets in there for good measure
[18:46:18] <janrinok> I was trying to find where chopchop1 had joined the convo - and then decided you were having finger trouble again

[18:47:09] * Bytram wonders how long light takes to travel 1mm
[18:47:51] <Bytram> 3x10^8 m/s
[18:48:03] <Bytram> 3x10^11 mm/s
[18:49:16] <Bytram> 1/(3 x 10^11) sec

[18:50:35] <Bytram> 3 fempto seconds... is that right?
[18:51:09] <janrinok> femto not fempto
[18:51:59] <janrinok> and femto is 10^-15
[18:54:07] <Bytram> https://en.wikipedia.org "3.3 picoseconds (approx.) is the time taken for light to travel 1 millimetre."

[21:09:10] <FatPhil> Won oscar for best makeup last year, probably deserved it.
[21:36:07] <chromas> Would it be wrong to use a multimeter to test its own battery while it's still in the meter?
[21:55:29] <Bytram> Well, if it reads zero... you might not have something there!
