Perhaps #hackernews and #startups on freenode?

  Another good starting point is #xkcd. it is a large channel with a lot of tech-ish and math-y people. EDIT: Note that channel discovery on IRC is largely a word-of-mouth thing so don't be shy to ask people for channel recommendations on irc. Most programming language have a dedicated channel, e.g. #D or #python or whatnot.

    The last thing I want in this world is to enter a channel full of people who like xkcd. It must be insufferable.

    Are you talking about freenode? I just joined #xkcd and it's 8 people and no topic set. 3 other users joined and immediately left, I guess those were from HN aswell. (A big channel for everyone to join is ##programming, by the way.)

      Ah I should have specified. sorry. It's at irc.foonetic.net
