<Iskierka> ... on the one hand, several recent anime I've picked out make me wonder if anime is improving with being less crazy & fanservicey. On the other hand, kemono friends is weird af
<Iskierka> who made the animal-people
<Iskierka> ED implies there's a catbus later
<egg|phone|egg> Document your code!

<e_14159> UmbralRaptor: You still looking for astronomy PhD positions?
<UmbralRaptor> e_14159: Yes. Preferably eggsoplanets.
<UmbralRaptor> Uh, IIRC ETHZ is mainly extragalactic.
<UmbralRaptor> Wait, you're TUM, right?
<e_14159> I don't really know details, but apparently Groningen is looking for PhD students in machine learning for astronomy stuff.
<e_14159> Aye
<UmbralRaptor> blarg. My code doesn't have anything with neural networks.
<SnoopJeDi> Happily ML is a lot more general than the koolaid trough that is neural networks
<Iskierka> just hope they're not after deep learning?
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: Is this going to involve mi-go?
<SnoopJeDi> Iskierka, even understanding k-means at an automated level can get you a long way AFAIK
<SnoopJeDi> inasmuch as there's a lot of "hey these thingies don't look quite the same as these thingies and the boundary seems to be about here in parameter space" in astronomy
* Iskierka wonders how much work it would take to get automated galaxy recognition rivalling galaxy zoo
<UmbralRaptor> A surprising amount. Uh, I know that there's been some follow-up in that direction.
<UmbralRaptor> On systems with more video ram than I have normal ram.
<Iskierka> you have potato birb though
<e_14159> UmbralRaptor: That might be an issue; they're CS afaik. On the other claw, can't hurt to try, right?
<e_14159> (Also, respective video ram: 11GB?)
* UmbralRaptor 's best bird options have 4 GiB
<UmbralRaptor> That's normal RAM, not video.
<UmbralRaptor> Also, my i5 goes away in about a year. =\
<e_14159> UmbralRaptor: It's also institute property.
<UmbralRaptor> hrm

UmbralRaptor is now known as NomalRaptor
* egg|afk|egg pets NomalRaptor
<NomalRaptor> AAAAAAAAA
<egg|afk|egg> <UmbralRaptor> This channel has a worryingly large amount of anguished screams.
* NomalRaptor should add that to the quotes file.
<egg|afk|egg> NomalRaptor: hmm, what happens if mean motion is 0 >_>
* NomalRaptor would have to check how mean motion is defined.
<egg|afk|egg> the semimajor axis becomes infinite, but per se that's not a problem (it's a parabola)
<egg|afk|egg> yeah I guess that just means it's a parabola?
<egg|afk|egg> but then what happens if it's negative, does that still make any sense

<SnoopJeDi> today on "not my thesis work" http://i.imgur.com/MWJ0QSn.png
<NomalRaptor> egg|afk|egg: hyperbola maybe? They have negative semimajor axes, so…
<NomalRaptor> SnoopJeDi: o_O
<SnoopJeDi> Last night, I got to thinking about large gameworlds and NPC design and wondering what the distribution of stats would look like...
<SnoopJeDi> Curious to see what it will look like when I run it on a larger set (or maybe do some facet plots)
<egg|afk|egg> NomalRaptor: I think hyperbolae should have imaginary mean motions
<egg|afk|egg> NomalRaptor: otoh negative mean motion might just be equivalent to a nonstandard representation of a retrograde orbit
<egg|afk|egg> (aaaa?)
<NomalRaptor> aaaa

<egg|phone|egg> NomalRaptor : so a hyperbolic orbit has negative apoapsis distance?
<NomalRaptor> I… think so?
