I wouldn't drink it, but if you put a gallon of milk in a common fridge, you 1,000% have to label it

Individual bottles, you're good

I don't know how you software developers do your job. I'm doing such mundane, petty bullshit that does not matter at all and could be completed in maybe 2 months, but because of the merge request, peer-review commenting, jira ticketing, clang format, C++ clean code standards bullshit, I can't even get started on the first part. I left the federal government because of how painfully slow the management was, but companies are painfully slow at FUCKING WORK. Who the FUCK cares that I used an if (!ok) { throw error } vs try { ok; catch { throw error } it fucking doesn't change anything. Using a const ref rather than value on a single fucking integer. Oh my fucking god.

how I managed the tedium was quitting and going back to school

I went back to school to escape it too, but then it turned out the school I picked was also full of pointless tedium and busy work

The federal government, at least the naval base I worked at, doesn't give a shit how you do it, so long as your work is fast and correct.

Another case of me complaining about a video without watching it. Like no shit, Arcturus Mengsk is the most "Diabolical dictator in Starcraft". That is an incredibly narrow playing field. Who's his competition? The Confederacy? They're not even characters. Valerian Mengsk? You mean the goody-two-shoes Arthas Menethil wannabe?

this shitty powershell script i always used to download music from this soundtrack site broke because they have some cloudflare bot protection now... it's joever

nevermind the actual content links don't have any protection so all i need to do for lazy solution is copy the html from the browser and pass that.

it turns out that allowing a variance parameter to become negative through optimization can really break things

I spy with my little eye an eye so kind and spyable that I can spy it with my eye. In anger I spite the eye with my bye and it will go bye bye and cry cry. I hate the eye. It is stupid and bi (sexual). The eye will make me cry. I do not want to die, until I have bid fare-bye to the eye. The eye will die. The eye will die. I will kill the eye, and I will not tell you why. The eye. I do not like the eye. Do not touch the eye. Do not say ask why of the eye. The eye. It cannot cry. It will not say why. It will not fly, into the sky. It is the eye. Why.

I was asking my boss a question because I didn't understand how using overlapping virtual aperture arrays is of any use. He answered my question with "the central limit theorom, N^2/N is bigger" and I said I didn't understand and then told me, "It's okay. you don't need to understand this." Yeeeuupp thank you for reconfirming my desire to leave.

I don't see how the central limit theorem would apply to that for what its worth lmfao

central limit theorem just states that the statistical average of sequences of RVs approach a normal distribution

his explanation is at best missing multiple key parts that connect the CLT to it, at worse, he just said shit that was meaningless

it's not really N^2, you're simulating the second N using the readings from other array elements, and layering them

idk what context that would really come up though, weird all around

THANK YOU that's what I was trying to fucking say

It's taking a sum of two RVs. One of is correlated across elements (the signal - because a signal hits every element) and the other is not correlated across elements (the noise) so when you sum up a large beam, the noise never increases, but the signal does. So that's the central limit theorem, the noise just goes into a gaussian.

Sorry for pinging both of you guys, goddamnit.

I get that

I just did not see how that explained what the fuck he said it explained

I'm still confused on the N^2/N, because you're using the same data multiple times when you're overlapping. Like, you're using the same noise to smooth out.. noise. But I do understand that it's like a normalizer, but I swear you are absolutely correlating the noise by using it multiple times.

It feels like I'm being treated like a child where it's "ok fine here's the answer, now go fuck off" any time I ask a question.

you are, that's why 4x4 MIMO adds basically nothing to modern WiFi, since you're not actually nulling anything and are just doing that same correlation again

the gains from wifi7 are really just from adding additional antennas, and you're more likely to have packets get through if you transmit more of them from different geometry, and repeat other people's packets in your downtime

I won't pretend to be a radar expert, but I suspect there is probably a more useful application there

because for telecom it's a complete joke

I'm sure I'm in the wrong because I don't know radar and only know a lot of sonar, but I do like being treated as an adult in a professional setting every once in a while. Or being in a place where I can learn new things with any form of incentive or reason.

Anyway, back to anime. I've given my resume back to NUWC Newport and I'll probably be back in the navy in a few months.

I hope you get sent to Iran

I hope you get sent to Toronto in 2 days

Worse, New England.

And DC :shudder:

Spooky flies there every day for work

crazy commute

NUWC is where my advisor was trying to get me into

but i had no interest in a Navy job, especially at the start of Trump's funding freeze

Set my alarm for 8 today. Woke up at 7 and got mad my alarm didn't go off, forgettng that time counts up not down

Huge black guy at wawa was buying a ton of snacks and wearing these

These are $80, if I buy them for you, would you wear them in public, Polar?

These are more of an @reorruatrnte kind of thing to wear

Judge a man not by his sneezes among company but by how he discharges his nose in private.

go off king

nevermind

I still think I might be in Canada

I fear all the Canadianisms in my everyday life now

sorry

Why was Spookys temp mute not a vote? If everyone found it funny then he should've been spared

I was mad

I am less mad now, but I did want him banned for a month when I posted that while sitting at the entrance to the zoo

Understandably

It was a vote, though it was a mute instead of a ban so the server didn't lose its boosts

My brother in 'Nam wants me to watch Umamusume so I can reconnect with my niece, and I feel like I can't watch it without jerking off.

Just push through until S2, that's when it slows down and you can reach an equilibrium

Just dont jerk off to cinderella grey season, i alr jerked off to that one and claimed her yeenaw 🏇

He also complained about how vietnam wants to be seen as a "modern economy" and started cracking down on pirate sites. BTW When I said "'Nam" earlier I meant the viet kind, and not the politically correct word for Melbourne, incase that was ambiguous.

i don't think anyone knew that about Melbourne

No one here has ever heard nam in reference to Melbourne since we are not australian

Also good morning fire, I guess you are awake huh

ye

If I had a nickle for everytime I was somewhat acquainted with a murderer, id have two nickles now

Spooky and who else?

I was actually going to say tentatively add spooky, but he works in very indirect ways

I miss the days when you could PM people on Youtube. I found someone with a Urealms Jacque PFP named "TheLuigiBrother77" in an importedcheese livestream.

He is here

@ zyton

happy pride month phijkchu!

Happy gay chevron flag with a circle on top month

Already ahead of ya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Wiki_Loves_Pride_2026

i did not consent to my 9 dollar yearly wikipedia contribution to go into funding the gays

why are you even giving wikipedia money?

because i use it

why not

they don't need money

love that! contributing to valuable orgs like wikipedia is wonderful

idk if I can single out Wikipedia, because most charities/non-profits are the same kind of scams

where they just burn money on admin costs and shareholder bloat

yeah, dont think i personally would contribute to wikipedia, there are so many other orgs i would put that money towards first
