CUDA fan @hichris123?

Infinite Recursion

chat.meta.stackexchange.com/search?user=237685&q=cuda

Bart

:D Apparently so then.

hichris123

@Bart CUDA struggler more like. :P

Bart

What are you doing with it, if I may ask?

hichris123

Playing with it for the most part. Trying to see if some math stuff will really perform faster with a GPU, or if it's better on the CPU.

Infinite Recursion

22:08

struggling with it, what else :P

hichris123

lol

Actually, I'm updating drivers right now so...

Bart

:D CUDA is good fun though. Haven't worked with it in a while now. Should pick that up again if I have some time.

Undo

@hichris123 Bitcoin mining sure works better on a GPU

hichris123

You do graphics work, right?

Bart

Yeah, and this is CUDA as well

hichris123

22:10

@Undo Yup. Though GPUs are good for doing many tasks at the same time. Memory access is a ton slower, and it can't perform things super fast like a CPU.

@Bart This is a trick to get more YouTube views, right? :P

Bart

Oh yeah, I should really monetize that. I would become so .... similar to now

Undo

@Bart that is cool

hichris123

What @Undo said. :P

Bart

:D It was good fun

Undo

and... you get paid to do this?

hichris123

22:15

> The latest GeForce Game Ready driver, release 347.09 WHQL, ensures you'll have the
best possible gaming experience for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Elite:
Dangerous.

Bart

Me?

hichris123

... that's why I have to update my graphics driver? sigh

Bart

Haha

hichris123

@Bart Yup, since he's not referring to me. :P

Bart

It was part of my work as a research assistant @Undo. So yeah, I got "paid" ...

Undo

22:17

cool

plzsendtehclothsimulationcodez

Infinite Recursion

lol

Bart

:D Believe me, you don't want them

hichris123

We want all of your code, @Bart. Including the code for yourself.

Doorknob

plzsendtehglassez

Bart

At some point I was planning to redo the code and open-source it. But yeah, probably not going to happen.

Infinite Recursion

22:21

Eek! All of you are joining the ~~evil~~ glasses side.

Bart

Join the bright side

Braiam

they have cake?

Bart

Let's just say I'm not getting any skinnier

Braiam

hichris123

I didn't think it was good for glasses to be skinny.

Shog9

22:45

you look more serious wearing thin glasses

thick glasses make you look like a hipster

Bart

"Thank you for watching fashion tips with @Shog9. Please join us again next week when he'll tell us how to confidently wear a tailored suit when you don't have a body"

Shog9

it's all in the tie

Bart

#spoiler

Shokhet

I just answered this guy's question. I think his profile is very cute:

> You can trust me online because I got the Association Award ( SE trusts me to not break the rules and not to cause chaos and mayhem in other sites ).

....misunderstanding, much?

Doorknob

lol

user259867

22:53

That's enough, I'm going to script-redirect MSE profiles to activity tab without waiting for them to roll out everywhere.
*Click* -> WTH is this LinkedIn page -> *Ah that* -> moving pointer to Activity link

hichris123

Can you take longer to install please, CUDA?

user259867

Hm, API method /users returns the field timed_penalty_date...

Braiam

@hichris123 IMPOSSIBLE!

Doorknob

@Fundamental Well, it returns basically every single thing you can see on the profile page.

Braiam

/me uses linux... he don't have to wait to install stuff

hichris123

23:02

Eeek new profile pic.

user259867

@Doorknob Yes, this is reassuring; if SE messes up the profiles completely (including the current "activity"), I can still rebuild them using the API.

user259867

So far I haven't able to find a user with non-null "timed_penalty_date"

Doorknob

@Fundamental rand was recently suspended on MSE and I think it's still in effect; try him. :P

user259867

@Doorknob Yes, that worked. "1421440281"

user259867

Interestingly, one gets more from the API than from public profile: for example, all comments mentioning the user.

Braiam

23:25

@Fundamental err... that's creepy

user259867

@Braiam For example, this is the way to recover user's past names. E.g., sorting the comments mentioning @Undo from the oldest brings up his original username.

user259867

hichris123 used to go by "user2581872" before setting the present username.

Undo

huh

cool

user259867

Doorknob was "Picklish Doorknob"

user259867

Bart was "BKevelham". Okay, enough stalking for now.

user259867

23:33

No, one more: bjb568 was "Dude".

Braiam

I was always braiam...

user259867

And Shog9 was Shog9 from the beginning. Some people have no creativity.

hichris123

23:52

@Fundamental Stalker!

@Fundamental lol

user259867

That's my middle name.

Thanks, Congress.

if you didn't know

hichris123

@Braiam Doesn't matter much unless they have enough votes to override a veto, as I'm betting the President would veto it.

Braiam

@hichris123 the problem is that that move would sequester others laws that need to pass in the congress, like migration
