I don't know what just made me sad, but it did.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

6º in the street. I'm cold.

Of course I prefer cold climate to warm climate, despite the shivering. Nonetheless, I'm cold.

Yup, much weaker being about 25 miles from you guys, I was mildly shaking on the 2nd floor... but they're both right underneath you.  :P This one was 37.869°N, 122.252°W - Piedmont and Bancroft.

Luckily, I live a few miles away from campus.  The windows did rattle quite a bit, though, and you could sort of hear something that sounded like the ground rumbling.  I was out of my chair pretty quick and shouted down the hall to get in the doorway--my physicist roommate doesn't know what to do, haha.

I hope this isn't the precursor to a big one.  That would suck.

Nope, didn't feel that one either. Probably because I'm far from Berkeley and the like.

Headaches (literal) and the people who cause them (figurative)....

Exhausted. Have dinner with Friend. Friend brings guests (eh, fine), one of which is  a pain. One of Friend's guests, Guest, ruined dinner/evening by ranting about criminal law, badly.... It appears Guest is studying political science or something.... The professor is mangling the shit out of fourth, fifth, and sixth amendment law, while telling the students how smart they are because of his mangling. It's borderline practicing law without a license and I've half a mind to write him a letter saying I'll turn him over to the bar if he doens't open a book/cut it out, because he's insisting he's correct/telling his students to follow his advice in real life when/if arrested.... Needless to say this is a bad thing....
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That's not really the point though, Guest does not know and I don't want her to know my job.... I just don't want to get into it, because A.) exhausted, B.) want something that's not work, C.) she's incorrect anyhow, D.) professor will probably only mark professor's badly mangled and incorrect understanding correct on test anyhow so even if I did wanna correct this... yeah, E.) Guest is sorta being a jerk about it anyhow.... Lose/lose situation.

It was basically hours of hearing someone say "2+3 = 7, 6/3= 63, and 9 x 3 = 622" and how your ear totally catches that and says, "huh?" She sorta teased her friends about it too, telling them they should "go to law school" with the implication that she had and thus knew better.... This is an undergrad student by the way, so no.... Judging from her flaunted designer clothes, REAL designer Louis Vuitton handbag (the seams match among other things) and shoes, along with lots of other things like that you notice, yeah.... She's also never worked a day in her life, is proud of it, and was being annoying about it to her friends and attempted to be to me.... Yes they have to work to pay for school, no that doesn't make them less than you....

I was warned about her beforehand, but nothing really prepares you for it.... She is stuck on that subject and will not talk about anything else, try as we all might to get her to change subject, and she's purposefully mean about it.... She's got a cloud of smug around her that would choke even the most condescending and she knows it/ likes it.

Meanwhile, Friend sends email after the fact both apologizing and chuckling like hell for/at the whole thing.... She was amazed I didn't jump all over Guest and so was I. I suspect that's why Friend brought Guest along: so she could rant in front of me and I'd correct her/shut her up. I didn't feel like it/didn't do it though.

Come on Advil, faster please....

It has been a long three weeks.  My school performance has just gone down and down.  It will go up now though, now that I don't have two part time jobs taking my homework time.  I only wish I hadn't picked up that second job and thought I could handle it.  Things will get better now.  I just can't stand how bad they had to get first.

Oh, it's been a while since I had a chance to smug someone out. Except my mine is heavily-laden with sarcastic wit, so everyone except the person who drew my ire enjoys it, or pretends to. Who knows?

I dunno which is worse, the smug, or that I specifically was sought out for the express purpose of being the anti smug weapon (I asked. Friend said yes). :( <-- Used....

Yeah, she should've asked you >:I  Still, if you get to the point where you aren't just being used and have people saying "man, I wish I could be there to watch you tear that guy a new one," you can have fun.

They will figure it out.  Or else >':3
