(Intermud) Pit wisps: Don't forget to vote Pit for Most Feared Creator! (Intermud) Novia wisps: Nope vote for me! (Intermud) Ploosk@Epitaph wisps: Real fear shouldn't be requested :( (Intermud) Pit wisps: Actually, come to think of it... I could just change the votes. I'm the organisor, right? (Intermud) Pit wisps: And this isn't actually in game, so no rules against affecting the outcome. (Intermud) Drakkos@Epitaph wisps: We already know institutional corruption is rife in liaison, you don't need to talk us into accepting it. ;-P
(One) Maelin: You know, if you took a guy who had a daughter, and you impregnated her with his sperm, and the child was a girl, and you impregnated -her- with his sperm, and so on and so on, eventually you would arrive at a son who is the clone of the original man. (One) Triana: Way ahead of you, Maelin. (One) Explain: No, Maelin. There's about 100 new mutations per person. (One) Maelin: Oh well mutations yeah (One) Pit: No you wouldn't. Even without mutations, you'd get double genes instead of both the original ones. (One) Maelin: But from a naive recombinant perspective it's true :) (One) Hagi: Also... the mitochondrial DNA would be different :p (One) Maelin: OKAY FINE SO THERE ARE SOME KINKS TO WORK OUT (One) Thakh: That certainly IS a kink, Maelin.
(newbie) BeastEater: help me please, im trying to learn AM in BesP but i dont know what im doing wrong... ive enrolled like 5 times, and he keeps saying come back when ur serious about learning... (newbie) Pit: Hmmm... Does he say you're wrong in between? (newbie) BeastEater: yeah and he says say it slower so i type slower then he said almost one more time then he says come back when ur serious
(One) Maelin wisps: Worst case is not the key, average case is the key. Dang you computer scientists don't know crap about probability :P (One) Pit wisps: Yes, but for the complexity of your algorithm, you must optimise the worst case complexity. (One) Aikanaro wisps: I have a funny story about probability, Maelin. (One) Maelin wisps: No, you must optimise the average case complexity :P (One) Aikanaro wisps: Imagine you have three boxes, two of which contain goats. (One) Pit wisps: And I'm a mathematician as well as a computer scientist, Maelin. :) (One) Maelin wisps: The average case complexity is the one you expect to get EVERY SINGLE TIME. (One) Aikanaro wisps: The third contains the abstract concept of love. (One) Beale wisps: As morphised as a third goat. (One) Jessie wisps: if you open the box, does it die? (One) Tony wisps: Only if you stab it (One) Aikanaro wisps: If you open the box the abstract concept of love will always be in one of the two boxes you didn't choose, Jessie. (One) Aikanaro wisps: And then you spend the rest of your life regretting your choice. :o( (One) Drakkos wisps that it :-(
