When the water’s deep

The balrog

In boolean logic, a ‘but’ statement is basically just an AND (***)’ with somesuch not-ed.

In unrelated news, I want to write more about Sauron. Sauron is awesome.

Also, Boromir carried the Fellowship movie on his back with his shield. Not the comnpany, but the movie was all Boromir. Definitely the most interesting character in the first movie.

Honestly, he was the most interesting character in the trilogy.

Fight me.

Yesterday I completed a double-blind test on myself. I missed some spots applying sunblock.

The subject did not know whether he missed a spot or not. The arbitrator did not know which spots were missed. However upon collecting experimental evidence, spots were missed. When compared to back-calculated extraneous features, the length of the swim-suit vs expected length of swimsuit, after correcting for body positioning, conclusions were drawn with high certainty.

A) sunblock works
B) the area between knee and mid-thigh was insufficiently sublocked

The problem with big data is that there’s a lot of it.

This is a trivial point, but it’s like asking what’s hard about lifting 495lbs. The 495lbs are the problem.

Every twelve second data run I take is 84mb. Each model degree of freedom increases the data size by a factor of a hundred, as in I can search for one mdof with 100 data runs, but two takes 10,000, and three mdof takes a million.

Are we really all bound by our mistakes for the rest of our lives?

Is binding others really worth being bound in turn?

I’ve started watching movies with English subtitles, even if the dialogue is in English.

My desire to go to bed on time is directly opposed by the fact I do my best work at 2AM.

I like peanuts.
