The Factory Floor

Also, in least interesting news: Today I learned, that professor I had for statistics is still teaching. This proffessor is active for 51 years in field of statistics

Mike L.

That's quite interesting. You could even say it's a... statistical anomaly! i.imgur.com/BbgL7x3.gif

@MikeL. I have a fair idea :)

Zou can also make a study about how much people care about data

Because you can always post: "The scientists discovered that banana peels cure cancer"

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek Probably, but I don't suppose a graphics conference would be particularly interested in that.

Pavel Janicek

And I bet no one will care about data :D

And if you labeled your axes, I could tell you exactly how MUCH better.

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek Also, I have 29° in my office.

Pavel Janicek

of what? :)

Visiting US site made me learn that I always have to specify what degrees are we talking about

And visit to my brittish colleague learned me that soemeone still measures weight in stones :)

300.15 degrees here :D

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek 302K, if you want to be that way.

Pavel Janicek

@MikeL. yay! Thank you. And as I posted, 300.15 K here

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek This is in an attic office in the New Town.

Pavel Janicek

Fifth level of office building in Hradec Kralove here

Mike L.

1:52 PM

@PavelJanicek Panel building?

Pavel Janicek

Did not check, but I guess so

Luckily, it got bit renovated, so we have AC here

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek So do we. It's just not nearly powerful enough, and since we're immediately below the roof (a slanted one, to boot), all the walls are radiating heat.

@PavelJanicek Are you getting any work done or did you just bring up a kiddie pool or something?

@MZeinstra What ho old bean!

Pavel Janicek

no problem

but I can assure you Karma was heavily tested

mostly by me >D

1:55 PM

hehe

I'll invoke the powers of Sauron upon the bot

and empower it ;p

Pavel Janicek

The goal is to keep Karma low here, as a helper

you can also mention Karma

user153821

1:57 PM

@TheHunter I'm KarmaBot, ArtOfCode's chatbot. You can find the source code on GitHub. You can get a list of all commands by running $>listcommands, or you can run $>help command to learn more about a specific command.

DaaaahWhoosh

I have a feeling Karma is going to cause a lot of disruption here

@KarmaBot say you agree with me

user153821

@DaaaahWhoosh This chatroom is just a Richard hive of scum and villainy.

Pavel Janicek

she will, because people will be curious

ArtOfCode

Heh, I bet I know where that last say came from

Mos Eisley

Pavel Janicek

aaand I have to leave

user153821

1:58 PM

@PavelJanicek Leaving already?

Pavel Janicek

yes, I am

Mike L.

@PavelJanicek Are you trying to hold a conversation with your own bot?

ArtOfCode

@KarmaBot breakingnews

user153821

@ArtOfCode BREAKING NEWS: DaaaahWhoosh found solution to '^'. It is: 'I've got a one player pong on my calculator and everybody thinks I'm a god at school.'

ArtOfCode

So I feel like I'm gonna have to lay down some bot rules.

bilbo_pingouin

2:01 PM

@DaaaahWhoosh I think she will at first... but that will die down... the dedicated chat has been less active in the last weeks... as most of the testing was done already

ArtOfCode

Playing with bots is cool, human social interaction is cooler. If someone's trying to have a conversation, please don't start messing with the bot and disrupting that - people take precedence.

And secondly, bot operators get the say on misuse - if you're asked to stop doing something, please stop. I'd rather not have to make use of the ban commands.

And lastly, mods get the final say on basically anything, 'cos they're the ones with the shiny buttons.

DaaaahWhoosh

maybe Karma should say something the first time a user makes a command

which makes me wonder, does Karmabot have a preferred set of pronouns?

ArtOfCode

that... would be difficult

@DaaaahWhoosh he/she/it, depending on how human it sounds

DaaaahWhoosh

for some reason, I think she's a she, I can't tell if I'm picking that up from somewhere or if I'm just AI-sexist

@KarmaBot say what gender you identify as

user153821

@DaaaahWhoosh ted is back

DaaaahWhoosh

2:07 PM

so I guess she's a man now?

bilbo_pingouin

@DaaaahWhoosh it was established by Serban that Karma is to be referred as a "she"...

on WB Robots chat's history one might still find the reason

DaaaahWhoosh

2:22 PM

@bilbo_pingouin eh, I looked, but I did not find anything

@KarmaBot hi

user153821

@DaaaahWhoosh Hello!

@DaaaahWhoosh read starting from chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27615934#27615934

DaaaahWhoosh

@bilbo_pingouin oh, well that's overactor then, not Serban

bilbo_pingouin

yeah who started...

but I might misremember

ah not Serban in any case

I meant Pavel

sorry

DaaaahWhoosh

oh, yeah that would make more sense

Q: Moderators using their powers on their own posts

The question "You can control a Demon by knowing its True Name, but why?" has brought some controversy, as discussed in the meta "Closing of True Name question". I was looking at it further and realized that the original question was asked by a moderator, and later protected by that same moderat...
