2015-10-08T07:28:43  <ecthiender> zoso, did you see this? https://ycr.org/
2015-10-08T07:31:34  <zoso> ecthiender, saw now, nice..
2015-10-08T07:31:45  <ecthiender> zoso, dude. its amazing!
2015-10-08T07:32:11  <ecthiender> independent research lab. independent of academic bullshit, govt, and politics.
2015-10-08T07:35:47  <zoso> ecthiender, hmmm.. I want to see what comes out of it. They say that they are not looking into papers and conference speakers, they are looking into applied research.
2015-10-08T07:36:02  <ecthiender> nope.
2015-10-08T07:36:18  <zoso> The researchers will have full access to YC and the YC network.  YC has a very high problem flux at this point—we fund hundreds of companies per year.  Compensation and power for the researchers will not be driven by publishing lots of low-impact papers or speaking at lots of conferences—that whole system seems broken.  Instead, we will focus on the quality of the output.
2015-10-08T07:36:21  <zoso> from the blog
2015-10-08T07:36:24  <ecthiender> zoso, altleast it doesn't say so. i think they are open to anything ground breaking
2015-10-08T07:36:56  <ecthiender> zoso, yeah. the focus is on the quality of the output. i don't think that implies applied research.
2015-10-08T07:37:08  <ecthiender> zoso, somewhere else they also mention heretical research
2015-10-08T07:37:31  <zoso> it is just applying VC model to research
2015-10-08T07:37:49  <ecthiender> from the HN comments, they are looking of AI, sustainable/renewable energy, nuclear energy
2015-10-08T07:38:02  <ecthiender> zoso, absolutely not!
2015-10-08T07:38:25  <ecthiender> zoso, the scientists will be full-time employees of YCR. there is no VC fund! there is no ROI!!
2015-10-08T07:39:29  <ecthiender> and they will make all research open

2015-10-08T07:42:02  <zoso> ecthiender, ya reading the comments
2015-10-08T08:18:15  <zoso> ecthiender, too many comments :P
2015-10-08T08:18:32  <ecthiender> zoso, yeah 300+
2015-10-08T08:18:59  <zoso> around 100 are just about how academia is bad or not :D
2015-10-08T08:19:32  <ecthiender> zoso, lol :D
2015-10-08T08:19:38  <ecthiender> its horrible xD
2015-10-08T08:19:46  <ecthiender> first hand experience :P
2015-10-08T08:19:54  <ecthiender> in a top research instt in India :P
2015-10-08T08:19:59  <zoso> ecthiender, I was reading comments, and Ram was like you should have called me :P
2015-10-08T08:20:04  <zoso> hehe
2015-10-08T08:20:12  <ecthiender> eh ?meaning?
2015-10-08T08:20:12  <ecthiender> zoso,
2015-10-08T08:20:29  <zoso> ecthiender, meaning not to waste time in the morning :P
2015-10-08T08:20:48  <ecthiender> zoso, yeah. go back to work. don't slack
2015-10-08T08:20:58  <zoso> ecthiender, already on it

2015-10-08T12:24:06  <ecthiender> zoso, ssup?
2015-10-08T12:24:33  <zoso> ecthiender, nothing much, working and also figuring out some weird behaviour of emacs
2015-10-08T12:24:49  <ecthiender> zoso, lol :P. carry on
2015-10-08T12:25:01  <zoso> ecthiender, almost pulling hair :P
2015-10-08T12:25:08  <zoso> horrible js mode in emacs
2015-10-08T12:26:55  <ecthiender> i see..
2015-10-08T12:26:59  <ecthiender> that's what they use?
2015-10-08T12:38:53  <zoso> ecthiender, who they? hashcube or emacs? emacs has a js mode shipped with it. I used to use something called js2-mode, which is apparently the best js mode
2015-10-08T12:39:16  <ecthiender> zoso, i meant hashcube? what do they use for their js coding?
2015-10-08T12:39:18  <zoso> but am unable to configure it for indenting multi line var declarations
2015-10-08T12:39:50  <ecthiender> zoso, pro-tip: don't code JS :P
2015-10-08T12:40:00  <zoso> Not much emacs users :P
2015-10-08T12:40:05  <ecthiender> Ram?
2015-10-08T12:40:10  <ecthiender> only Ram?
2015-10-08T12:41:03  <zoso> oh yes, we are slowly moving to functional, and am pushing SICP here. There is one more guy, who uses emacs and is a lisp fan..
2015-10-08T12:41:11  <zoso> :P
2015-10-08T12:41:11  <zoso> ecthiender, will ask ram
2015-10-08T12:41:37  <zoso> but he does not use emacs much now, thats what I remember him saying
2015-10-08T12:41:46  <ecthiender> zoso, ???
2015-10-08T12:41:47  <ecthiender> really?
2015-10-08T12:41:51  <ecthiender> zoso, what does he use?
2015-10-08T12:42:11  <ecthiender> what does Jishnu use?
2015-10-08T12:42:17  <zoso> ecthiender, he uses web-mode, but that is for editing web templates.
2015-10-08T12:42:23  <zoso> jishnu uses vim :)
2015-10-08T12:42:31  <ecthiender> ram doesn't code?
2015-10-08T12:43:14  <ecthiender> zoso, ^

2015-10-08T12:43:45  <zoso> Ram moved to vim, not sure..
2015-10-08T12:43:50  <zoso> Ram codes
2015-10-08T12:44:29  <ecthiender> Ram moved to vim?? woah!! that's surprising.
2015-10-08T12:44:38  <ecthiender> but I guess RSI plays a role
2015-10-08T12:45:48  <ecthiender> Idk how you guys manage in emacs. don't you get RSI? I used emacs for like 2 days,(was using org-mode for some feature which is not polished in vim-org) and my pinky hurt like crazy! zoso
2015-10-08T12:45:57  <zoso> mechanical keyboards :P
2015-10-08T12:46:48  <ecthiender> but still..
2015-10-08T12:46:50  <ecthiender> :P
2015-10-08T12:47:17  <zoso> My fingers used to hurt from typing, not because of using emacs..
2015-10-08T12:47:19  <ecthiender> how did you use it before you bought the mech keyboard?
2015-10-08T12:47:46  <ecthiender> hmm
2015-10-08T12:47:51  <zoso> I really dont find it so hard or stressful
2015-10-08T12:48:43  <ecthiender> surprising
2015-10-08T12:50:58  <zoso> ecthiender, and I do not use the picky so much, I have moved the key bindings to be single keys or two strokes at max..
2015-10-08T12:51:13  <zoso> like opening git is just F6
2015-10-08T12:51:17  <ecthiender> zoso, hmm.. thats helpful
2015-10-08T12:51:39  <ecthiender> yeah. otherwise every movement, every editing, every command involves the C key
2015-10-08T12:51:50  <ecthiender> which takes a huge toll on the pinky
2015-10-08T12:52:09  <ecthiender> i moved the ctrl to capslock, but still a lot of your editing is just dependent on the pinky
2015-10-08T12:52:58  <zoso> ecthiender, yes
2015-10-08T13:05:44  <zoso> ecthiender, Ram also moved away from emacs. Am the only one, and I have the same config as him
2015-10-08T13:14:40  <zoso> ecthiender, so js3-mode it is, improvement over js2-mode :P
2015-10-08T13:15:26  <ecthiender> i see
2015-10-08T13:28:32  <zoso> ecthiender, btw check this out http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p2.html
