| 16:52 | | * TheWatcher eyes one of the summer internship projects they're advertising in work |
| 16:52 | <@TheWatcher> | "Quantum Computing Solutions in LaTeX" |
| 16:52 | <@TheWatcher> | I have... questions. |
| 17:13 | | Kindamoody|afk is now known as Kindamoody |
| 17:45 | <@ErikMesoy> | I'm going to imagine they dropped a word like "Describing" from the front. |

| 21:42 | <@TheWatcher> | ErikMesoy: given that I know the academic proposing the project, I'm... not at all convinced he did. I will have to send him a polite WTFMate?! |

| 21:44 | <&McMartin> | I am imagining the WTFMate as being a tiny, cute little robot that one sends out to deliver WTFs to those you designate |

| 22:29 | <@gnolam> | Reminds me of the "Source preparation of actinides and polonium using coins" presentation at a conference. I assumed that it was just a lack of capitalization - that "COINS" was an acronym for something. |
| 22:29 | <@gnolam> | Nope: they just thought electrodeposition sample disks for alpha spectroscopy were too expensive and wondered if you could use actual coins instead. Then evaluated various countries' currencies for performance versus price. |
| 22:30 | <&McMartin> | How'd it work out? I not an expert, obviously, but even from baseline physical intuition I have no real predictions |
| 22:33 | <@gnolam> | IIRC surprisingly well! |
| 22:33 | <@gnolam> | I don't remember which coin won though. |
| 22:34 | <&McMartin> | I would imagine that US coins would do rather poorly here, since they're mostly nickel-clad copper and the copper core peeks out from the ridges on the edge |
| 22:34 | <&McMartin> | So it would be uneven both in shape from the stamp but also in terms of which metal was actually exposed. |
