It's all solveable, we can do it, I just sometimes need to be like "OH MY GOD SO MUCH PAPERWORK"
 
@Ash medical was pretty expensive for us, only one place in our province is qualified to do the medical for immigration and they have to do an x-ray, which is not cheap when you're not covered by MCP :P
the worst part was that we had to do medical twice, because the first one expired
I don't remember details on how that happened though
but it did and it sucked
@Ash shouldn't be too much, it's just papers
I think we paid like 20$ or so for, I think an overnight, with tracking
in the grand scheme of things, 20$ is not much
 
user15026
@Chippies yeah, there's only one place in his state that's allowed to do it, I have no idea what it will cost, no idea if his health insurance will cover any of it because i don't understand american health insurance at all
 
user15026
@Chippies That's not bad. I just look at the pile of paperwork and am like "thats not even the supporting documentation yet or the pictures"
 
@Ash well, for me, it cost a bit over 400$ CAD at the time, it might be different in the US and maybe insurance would cover it? idk
 
user15026
@Chippies Not sure! We will have to find out, but that doesn't have to happen right this second so it's okay
 
12:07 AM
the x-ray was more than half of that, and I don't see why insurance shouldn't cover an x-ray
 
user15026
I think part of it is that I tihnk about the costs to mail stuff to the US so I am likely thinking too high for the costs because i am thinknig that cost not "cost to mail a trhing from me to Mississauga")
 
I can see them maybe declining the immigration medical, but is it really any different than any other medical?
 
user15026
Who knows how they think :P
 
Indeed
US health system is depressing
health care, I guess I should say
 
user15026
@Chippies giggles well I guess they will need new dinner plans and possibly some sort of plan to deal with a rampant pizza on the loose

I'm surprised at how disappointed I'm feeling right now
Why is this even region locked?
Were they afraid Quebec would get angry?

Q: What is this floating green light in Vah Medoh?

SirTechSpecIn my game, just inside the entrance to Vah Medoh, slightly above head level and before the column of rising air, there's a greenish column of light (video, image). It appears fixed in space relative to the dungeon - I can look at it from different angles, etc. It seems like maybe it's only the...

To be fair, I also questioned why they had a white guy playing that but didn't really look much further.
Plus, Sony's a Japanese company so I figured they had a reason.
 
Haha, in the last game I dropped a nanoboosted rein and a nanoboosted zarya off the map

a vintage photo of a group of people
Nailed it

@Wipqozn It seems to be repeatedly mistaking buildings for groups of people
 
2:44 PM
@PrivatePansy I mean, it's buildings, who's to say there isn't a group of people in there somewhere?
in fact, if you zoom in, you can see at least a few people on the streets there, so I'd say the description is a success
 
It's more likely the training data had a lot of photos of groups of people near buildings

one of the nice parts about CNNs is that it's easy to visualize what exactly it's "seeing"
there's techniques for essentially imposing a heatmap showing whch parts of the image are the most important to it (in the case of a dog, it might be the ears or parts of the face or whatever)
you can also do things where you take a given layer and do an optimization process to see what image activates it the most, which can give you an idea of what each individual kayer is supposed to detect. convnets often end up building a natural hierarchy where the lower layers detect lines and simple shapes and the higher layers detect more complex features like eyes, leaves, etc

Q: Can I turn a laptop into a PS2?

HabitSo, I was thinking. If I have the PS2 bios, and PS2 games, what stops me from flashing my laptop bios into the PS2 bios? Does anything stop me from reverting it back? So, my overall question is, can I flash my laptop bios or desktop bios, and replace it with a PS2 bios?

this week I have discovered the Arcane Pleasures of
Array "Ctrl-Alt-Enter" Formulas
in Microsoft Excel and Libre Office Calc
let me tell you about Array "Ctrl-Alt-Enter" Formulas
I was looking to develop a formula for a thing at work that involved me raising a bunch of numbers to a power and summing the result; spreadsheets are great for prototyping that sort of stuff
so normally you'd need to have a row of cells for every number, then a column of cells for every power, then a grid of row-th number raised to the column-th power, finally a column for the row-wise summations
OR
you just type in =SUM( POWER( RangeWithTheNumbers, Power) ) then hit Ctrl-Alt-Enter
and Excel is smart enough to realize that =SUM( POWER( {1, 2, 3}, 2 ) ) means =SUM( {1, 4, 9} ) means =15
it's... map reduce! in Excel! with just one formula!
and you can filter things too
=AVG(IF(Range > 0, Power(Range, 0.5))), if you press Ctrl-Alt-Enter, will give you the average of the square roots of the positive numbers in a range
 
user15026
That sounds rather magical
 
it's pretty much the excel equivalent of Python list comprehensions
just arcane and a bit clunky
newer version of Excel apparently just let you write a function in Javascript...
as opposed to VBA
 
@badp The entirety of office has been ported to JS
 
"entirety" is a big word
pretty sure the web versions of Office 365 aren't feature complete
 
@badp No, I'm not talking about the web versions

uh...
do we... do we live in a... do we live in a world where Office is becoming an Electron app

@badp I don't understand why this needs ctrl+alt+enter, wouldn't it work normally too? (I'm not sure what exactly ctrl+alt+enter does different than just enter)
