(my old advisor had trouble using a computer...) 18:25:53 bragging about your accomplishments was so strongly stigmatized that even admitting you were good at anything was kind of a faux pas 18:26:07 oerjan, my degree title is Mathematics and Computer Science 18:26:11 indeed computer science talent and ability to computer don't always go together 18:26:15 True 18:26:53 hm he may have had computer science talent, i think he lectured about turing machines some time 18:27:31 the only time i really remember feeling i was with people stupider than me was with this random guy in france whose place i spent a few nights at; he kept saying we should have an orgy with his hookers and commenting on the asses of bypassers (this went on for _hours_) 18:27:40 (but then we got high and it was all good) 18:28:03 haha 18:28:10 did you have an orgy though 18:28:15 hookers? maybe more like "bitches" 18:28:20 no i wussed out 18:28:24 aww 18:29:13 's ok if they were idiots they probably all had STDs anyway 18:29:19 also i'm mostly into skinny girls and he was more into huge asses 18:29:28 (*) may contain stereotypes 18:29:38 haven't been to a proper orgy yet, maybe this is my year 18:30:13 fingers crossed! 18:30:19 I have no desire to take part in an orgy 18:30:45 we know that. 18:30:56 But if you do I hope you have fun! 18:32:30 thanks Taneb 18:32:40 i'm not sure i'd be very comfortable at an orgy, since i'm not very comfortable with lots of people in general 18:33:01 although usually the more clothes i have the less comfortable i am so maybe it'd be fine 18:33:25 Thinking about it, if I wanted to take part in an orgy, I'd know where to go 18:34:01 But you know what I really want to do? 18:34:16 Find a giant chess set and play chess with some with that giant set 18:34:27 oklopol: heh 18:34:51 I've often thought that it's weirder to be the one clothed person in a room of naked people than to be the one naked person in a room of clothed people 18:37:22 also http://www.theonion.com/articles/orgy-a-logistical-nightmare,120/ 18:37:47 (nsfw I suppose) 18:38:13 -!- shikhout has joined. 18:39:02 "handcuffs" i read handguns 18:39:08 ykinmk 18:39:11 now _that's_ an orgy 18:39:41 I need to clean my room and pack in like 20 minutes 18:40:43 -!- shikhin has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 18:40:45 -!- shikhout has changed nick to shikhin. 18:41:51 -!- oerjan has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 18:41:58 -!- oerjan has joined. 18:42:27 there is a large chance that I would be too awkward to enjoy myself, anyway 18:45:54 I think that (even controlling for the flaws of self-assessment and whatever) people tend to think I'm smarter than I am 18:46:29 (but I can't really control for that, of course) 18:46:45 I told a friend my IQ and she was surprised that it was only as high as hers 18:47:13 i don't know, that could relate to her self-assessment, as well 18:51:02 have you taken some official test or how do you know? i did the test on mensa's page once 18:51:29 i got them all right and it said i'm a supergenius and i should join their club 18:53:03 but you're not officially a supergenius until you pay them to take the same test 18:53:27 well it's a better test administered by a psychoanalystician 18:53:39 ...but yeah that's basically what they said 18:54:03 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving). 18:56:17 iq is weird 18:57:37 I think how smart people think people are usually doesn't correspond very well to intelligence 18:59:48 e.g. if you're pretty smart then behaving less socially will make you seem more geniusy 19:00:54 oklopol: lol 19:01:02 and yeah IQ is kinda bullshit 19:01:38 i'm "pretty smart" and feel "pretty smart" too, but surround myself with smarter people so i never actually am smart? 19:02:13 oklopol: yeah I had a psychological evaluation some years back and they did an IQ test as part of that 19:02:20 ooh sounds fun 19:02:30 not that fun 19:02:33 Oh man, are we having a who has bigger imposter syndrome contest? 19:03:03 I think I also had one when I was a kid but I don't remember the outcome 19:03:04 I've got a pretty good affinity for maths but that's the only thing I'm good at at all 19:03:30 but yeah 19:03:46 i've never been evaluated :( 19:03:57 oklopol, I evaluate you to be pretty rad 19:04:00 in 2006 i went to a psychologist and told them I thought I was depressed and I did like 2 or 3 days of complicated standardized tests and then they're like "yup you're depressed" 19:04:01 mwoohoo 19:04:02 i don't think it's imposter syndrome! i guess i relate to taneb here, too 19:04:07 wasn't entirely worth it 19:04:10 haha 19:04:15 kmc: no drugs? 19:04:45 they weren't a md and so couldn't prescribe drugs, they could have referred me to someone but I declined that 19:04:46 kmc: Yeah, I was like "I think I'm depressed. Now to studiously avoid having any medical records made of this to avoid future difficulties." 19:04:51 maurer: :/ 19:05:13 I succeeded - I think there are no medical records of this 19:05:15 which kind of difficulties? 19:05:32 kmc: There are a lot of jobs/positions for which you can be disqualified 19:05:37 nooodl: you don't think you're smarter than you think you are? 19:05:37 that really sucks 19:06:05 kmc: For example, krogstad :( 19:06:45 I'm lucky enough that I can just write off any jobs that would care about my history of mental health issues or my past hobby of buying experimental synthetic "FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY" psychedelic drugs from china 19:06:50 olsner: no i have a pretty good idea of how smart i am i think! maybe there are certain things that i don't recognize as "smartness". like being able to just "get" things more easily 19:06:59 maurer: yeah :/ 19:08:06 I can't even cook 19:08:13 i take being able to think about abstract stuff for granted! but when i compare to peers at school it's like "huh apparently this is hard to grasp for everyone else" 19:08:45 Or, I guess I can cook, but I am not very good at it and when things go wrong I break down and don't learn from the experience 19:08:48 olsner: I've only much more recently started taking antidepressants 19:08:58 not that impressed so far, will try different ones next week 19:09:14 what's depressing you? 19:09:53 (because totes my business) 19:09:56 that's not really how it works 19:10:30 oh, while we're speaking about drugs, can doctors prescribe placebo versions of real medicines? 19:11:32 "what do you have pneumonia about" 19:11:47 it seems like it should be possible, but the logistics might be tricky 19:12:11 olsner, I think it may come under negligence laws or something 19:12:19 (this is not a great analogy, but probably gets across my general point) 19:12:24 Anyway, I am heading off now 19:12:25 Bye! 19:13:09 bye Taneb 19:13:23 enjoy your orgy or cooking class or whatever you're off to 19:13:43 Board games night :) 19:14:06 negligence, sure if they did it when someone needs the medicine, but I meant for people who don't actually need the medicine but rather the warm fuzzy feeling of being treated 19:14:31 well sure, but personally i always get ...bummed for a reason (and often it takes a lot of time to realize what the reason was, for example i really believe i've felt bad for long periods of time because i forgot a dentist appointment, and only started feeling better when i realized that's the reason i felt bad); i like to extrapolate that depression often has an initial cause as well. 19:15:10 but yeah i guess that's not really the generally agreed reason 19:15:28 that there is a reason, that is 19:15:36 yeah i'm being very articulate today 19:15:53 as I understand it, real depression is pretty much completely unrelated to that normal "feeling down" for a specific reason you can help 19:16:57 it's complicated 19:17:29 probably if we had a better understanding of the brain and the mind, we would classify what's currently known as "depression" as like six different things 19:17:42 (this is almost certainly the case for schizophrenia) 19:18:16 mental disorders are loose clusters of symptoms and treatment strategies 19:18:18 yeah probably 19:18:41 for me one aspect of depression is like an extreme form of boredom 19:19:33 like usually when people are bored it's not because there's really nothing to do but because none of the possible things to do seem interesting or feasible 19:21:02 i'm hearing this conversation now 19:21:17 i have chronic depression but it's nothing like what you describe 19:22:15 i have so many ideas and things to do that i either get stressed when i try to do too many of them or get more depressed when i realize i can't do most of them 19:22:25 interesting 19:22:53 my depression also comes from my lack of love and the sorry state of the world 19:23:32 the world is pretty fucked up 19:23:55 I think about that a lot when I'm depressed, but I don't know if it's really a cause for me or just one of many things I could feel bad about 19:24:03 with lack of love i mean lack of a romantic partner 19:24:23 i think the world is awesome :) 19:27:47 -!- conehead has joined. 19:30:19 i'm sure there are people for whom it is "about" something 19:30:38 certainly if you have concrete things in your life that are painful or stressful, that can make things a lot harder to deal with 19:31:39 -!- Bike_ has joined. 19:32:02 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bicyclidine. 19:32:56 Zom-B: I hope you find somebody :) 19:34:41 I was lonely and angsty and sad for a long time, and things worked out 19:34:46 I don't know if that's helpful to hear or not 19:39:16 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7jwow05u2euhcl4/floater-mandel.png 19:39:18 finally done 19:42:48 broken image here 19:42:52 same 19:43:07 just fixed it, but dropbox is indexing 19:43:39 done 19:44:27 http://wathifi.tumblr.com/ 19:44:38 can probably be golfed a lot more, but i'm happy with it 19:45:01 -!- ^v has joined. 19:45:33 http://www.whathifi.com/review/furutech-g-320ag 19:45:47 holy shit they're doing it with mains cables too? 19:46:09 "all digital cables do not sound the same" Dafuq 19:46:22 http://www.whathifi.com/review/wireworld-stratus-52 19:46:28 entry-level power cord 19:46:32 £`100 19:47:09 monster cables ;D 19:47:48 this review is gold. 19:48:01 I think we discussed "hifi" mains cables here the other year. 19:48:10 (Maybe even this year!) 19:49:18 The Ethernet cable thing was already so bizarre. 19:52:19 "AudioQuest has a complete line of Ethernet cables that consists of the Forest ($29/.75m), Cinnamon ($69/.75m), Vodka ($179/.75m), and Diamond ($595/.75m). -- "First I replaced, all-in-one shot, all of the Ethernet cables from my Apple AirPort Extreme router to my NAS and from my router to my MacBook Pro with the Audioquest Forest cables. -- I would not hesitate buying the Audioquest Forest ... 19:52:25 ... Ethernet cables. I perceived a more relaxed and natural presentation as compared to the generic cables, --" 19:52:56 presentation of /what/ 19:53:25 "During one session, I did some relatively quick swapping, listening to pieces of the same three tracks, swap, listen to a piece, swap. And here I did not notice much difference if any and I believe I would have been hard pressed to tell you which was which if I didn't know." 19:53:34 "Next, I went for longer listening between swaps. Full songs and even more than one. Then I'd swap Forest for generic or vice versa and listen some more. Here, I heard a slight but noticeable difference mainly in the texture of vocals—voices sounded less hashy with the Audioquest Forest Ethernet cables. -- There also seemed to be a greater sense of ease as if some underlying noise had been ... 19:53:39 ... removed." 19:53:51 wtf 19:53:54 "With the Audioquest Ethernet cables in my system, and they are in my system since my music is served from a Network Attached Storage device, music sounded less harsh, with more air and ease and with the Cinnamon I even noted greater bass definition and differentiation between instruments. Music sounded better." 19:54:39 The link that we had on-channel not long ago was even better, since it talked about how the worst thing you can do is to install your Ethernet cables the wrong way around. 19:54:44 Because they're directional. 19:54:46 amazon reviews on overpriced cables are usually pretty amusing 19:54:56 "I love this cable. Crystal clear audio and video. My only problem was that the instruction manual was very vague and misguiding. Long story short, I got it stuck in my urethra." 19:54:57 They only sound good if the music is flowing in the correct direction. 19:55:07 575 of 599 people found that review helpful. 19:55:36 http://www.chord.co.uk/blog/new-chord-ethernet-cables/ I think it was this one, at least it shows as visited. 19:56:15 "Put the Indigo Tuned ARAY Streaming cable into our system and the track “comes to life”, the increased ability to hear the skill and the level of understanding between the musicians made for an irresistible way to spend sixteen minutes. Put the Sarum Tuned ARAY Streaming cable in and you’re even “closer to being in the audience”." 19:56:18 this makes me glad that i found i could read helmholtz's book trying to connect musical aesthetics to physics, for free 19:56:29 because this is some incredible garbage and it's a hundred years later ;_; 19:56:43 "The construction of Tuned ARAY interconnects is such that although they’ll carry a signal when connected in the opposite direction, the placement of the ARAY in the signal path greatly influences the final perceived sound quality." 19:56:50 (I'm not sure what an ARAY is.) 19:57:55 Silence between each note, a stereo image so solid that you could walk into it, voices at the right height, an orchestra with every instrument perfectly in place.
