< PrinceGuptaGitte> Hi, so my proposal for gsoc was rejected D: , it was "implementing neural style transfer". @zoq @rcurtin it'll be really helpful if can you tell me what were the things that my proposal was lacking. I will try to improve and get selected next year :)
< zoq> PrinceGuptaGitte: Ryan will send out a mail with some information later. This year was tough we didn't get the number of slots we requested so, unfortunately, we had to drop some of the projects.
< zoq> PrinceGuptaGitte: Happy to provide specific feedback for your application, via mail if that works for you?
< PrinceGuptaGitte> Yes, that will be great
< rcurtin> congratulations to everyone who was accepted! it's always hard to select from so many applications
< jeffin143[m]> zoq (@freenode_zoq:matrix.org): Did we seek for 10 slots ?
< zoq> jeffin143[m]: Yes, we did, only got 8 :(
< zoq> Maybe I should say "only", that is still a pretty good number.
< zoq> *shouldn't say
< jeffin143[m]> I thought since we are old , we would get it
< jeffin143[m]> I mean , like more chances of getting the number we seek for
< zoq> I think this year more org's got in and there is probably a maximum number that can be distributed across all projects.
< jeffin143[m]> I see , that makes sense :)
< zoq> But yeah, we expected to get all slots as well.
< jeffin143[m]> Mozilla got 12 slots if I am not wrong
< jeffin143[m]> Pretty huge
< sreenik[m]> zoq: Is this the first time we have been allotted a lesser number of slots?
< sreenik[m]> jeffin143[m]: Wait till you find out about cern :D
< rcurtin> sreenik[m]: hmm, I think we got one fewer than expected a few years ago
< rcurtin> last year they gave us our "max" which we didn't expect and suddenly we had an extra project :)
< zoq> Right, not sure if that was last year.
< zoq> ahh right
< rcurtin> hm, yeah maybe I'm forgetting. anyway one of these years each of those things happened :)
< rcurtin> I can't believe this is the 7th year I've done GSoC...
< rcurtin> my memory is going :)
< jeffin143[m]> sreenik[m]: 35 project woh that's a lot of
< sreenik[m]> rcurtin: Was Marcus in the first year of GSoC? :)
< jeffin143[m]> Rcurtin : it's totally ok , you are stil god level in debugging :)
< zoq> If I remember right Cern is an umbrella organisation.
< sreenik[m]> zoq: Oh yes, makes sense that way. Same with Python I think
< jeffin143[m]> And those optimization you did in Bayesian ridge was very good :)
< jeffin143[m]> sreenik[m]: also I guess this should apply to numfocus too then
< zoq> Yes, so in case of cern they have to distribute the slots to there 22? projects
< zoq> Yes, same situation with NF.
< sreenik[m]> The only grand entry was tensorflow. I think TF got a lot of slots as a debutant last year
< jeffin143[m]> Ahaa I see , some tough decision to take
< jeffin143[m]> sreenik[m]: yes I guess they are huge
< jeffin143[m]> sreenik[m]: Did you repair your watch :-p
< sreenik[m]> jeffin143[m]: Yes TF is of course huge and it also has Google devs directly working on it (I guess)
< rcurtin> sreenik[m]: not a surprise with TensorFlow, I think Google cares a lot about that project :-D
< jeffin143[m]> My LinkedIn and Twitter these days are flooded with Google foobar challenge , not sure what the catch is
< rcurtin> sreenik[m]: and yeah, Marcus was one of the three students accepted in 2013 :)
< sreenik[m]> jeffin143[m]: Oh, no, it is still broken. You remember :D
< rcurtin> jeffin143[m]: thanks! I really love optimizing algorithms and debugging them... too bad I don't get much time to do it these days :)
< jeffin143[m]> rcurtin (@freenode_rcurtin:matrix.org) I did see the change log from first release
< jeffin143[m]> And we have come really a long long way
< zoq> PrinceGuptaGitte: Will send a mail tomorrow.
< sreenik[m]> rcurtin: I would love to hear about your experience back in 2013 with respect to the recent years in the next video meet :)
< jeffin143[m]> 51,000 students applied , 65% more than last year
< jeffin143[m]> I have at most respect for people who use to code back then , since there weren't much YouTube videos or blogs written , now everything is so easily available and it has become much more easier
< jeffin143[m]> Those time would be tough
< sreenik[m]> jeffin143[m]: Ahh, and what about the number of accepted proposals?
< jeffin143[m]> sreenik[m]: That stats was not given :) so count say , have to write a script to count
< jeffin143[m]> Can't*
< sreenik[m]> jeffin143[m]: Haha, either that or wait till tomorrow I suppose :->
< jeffin143[m]> :)
< jeffin143[m]> It's 1199 students and 199 org
< sreenik[m]> Did you just...
< jeffin143[m]> Haha
< sreenik[m]> W.wwrite a script?
< jeffin143[m]> Naah Googled
< jeffin143[m]> Not that good for sure :-p
< sreenik[m]> Haha :)
< zoq> jeffin143[m]: hmm, it's 2:53 AM?
< jeffin143[m]> Yes
< jeffin143[m]> Zoq
< jeffin143[m]> Off to sleep :)
< jeffin143[m]> Good night
< zoq> See you around :)
< sreenik[m]> zoq: jeffin143[m] is probably too excited to sleep, right Jeffin?
< sreenik[m]> Oh never mind
< jeffin143[m]> Yes , no that's usual , exhausting myself before I become old and not able to work
< jeffin143[m]> :)
< sreenik[m]> Okay I did the math. 2 hours extra everyday for 20 years is 608 days (continuous) :-D
