Good Morning!

dharrigan09:06:16

Really enjoyed reading the paper by Rich. I forwarded it on to my boss, who said for me to publish it internally too!

dominicm09:06:00

How's clojure adoption going @dharrigan?

dharrigan09:06:41

Slowly 🙂 But it's not being abandoned. Far from it. Any new stuff I touch is Clojure 🙂 And I'm looking to hire someone to assist me! (that is still going through the works internally, so nothing "official" yet)

dharrigan09:06:00

I've been doing data migration this week from one environment to another, so not much Clojure atm.

alexlynham10:06:49

where do you work @dharrigan?

dominicm10:06:56

You sound suspicious @alex.lynham, I expect the response to be "Here and there. I'm a fixer, I fix things. Bit of this, bit of that"

alexlynham10:06:45

always suspicious, me 😂

dharrigan10:06:07

I work near Epsom.

Rachel Westmacott13:06:09

oh, you're not too far from me in Redhill

dharrigan14:06:27

Indeed! Can you see me waving out the window?

seancorfield15:06:48

I used to work in Esher, just the other side of the A3 from Epsom.

Ben Hammond15:06:46

I'd always assumed Esher was a dormitory town

Ben Hammond15:06:04

didn't realise that people actually worked in it

Ben Hammond15:06:19

mind you, same for Epsom

Ben Hammond15:06:49

Hasn't London sucked all the life out of the home counties?

Ben Hammond15:06:55

maybe not during lockdown..?

seancorfield15:06:03

Just checked the map and technically I worked in Walton-on-Thames, it seems. On Hersham Road, closer to the Hersham end of it. Maybe Esher is a bedroom community after all? 🙂

seancorfield15:06:05

Oh wait, that was Programming Research (early '90s). I was at Bacon & Woodrow for a short while before that -- pretty sure that was in Esher.

dharrigan16:06:33

Ah Esher. Garsons Farm

dharrigan16:06:40

PYO fruit and veg

dharrigan16:06:50

and they have a good cafe/childrens play area

dharrigan16:06:36

and Claremount Gardens, nice little national trust cafe

Ben Hammond16:06:31

handy for the Hospice too:cry:

dharrigan10:06:14

Home of the Derby, apparently.

Ben Hammond13:06:35

and the salts, presumably

folcon11:06:06

Morn’ =)…

Ben Hammond13:06:44

I assumed that every facial recognition neural net will have slightly different weaknesses, depending on how it was trained

Ben Hammond13:06:17

or do they all use identical training sets, or impose a pre-generated weighting matrix upon an untrained network?

Ben Hammond13:06:37

it hints that a dual identity photo might look normal to the naked eye which would sound very strange indeed; what kind of lighting does the facial recognition depend upon?

dharrigan14:06:39

Go postgres go!

dharrigan14:06:03

wahey! just completed.
