UmbralRaptor changed the topic of #kspacademia to: https://gist.github.com/pdn4kd/164b9b85435d87afbec0c3a7e69d3e6d | Dogs are cats. Spiders are cat interferometers. | Космизм сегодня! | Document well, for tomorrow you may get mauled by a ネコバス. | <UmbralRaptor> … one of the other grad students just compared me to nomal O_o | <ferram4> I shall beat my problems to death with an engineer.

Bleah, can't brain, need food. >_<
<NomalRaptor>
At least I basically completed a stats problem set I had forgotten about. (due in ~13 hours)
NomalRaptor is now known as UmbralRaptor

So, I'll be at Space Grant during the March For Science.

SnoopJeDi: what's with the outliers at 60
<SnoopJeDi>
not sure, there's definitely some stuff to investigate in the ones below the main pack between 40 and 100
<SnoopJeDi>
Very possibly data where the extraction failed
<SnoopJeDi>
egg|afk|egg, I'm more curious about the level ~1 outliers actually

It was a fairly fruitful thing to play around with, I learned about lxml's event-driven parsing (the XML dump of the WoW wiki I used is ~500 MB)
<bofh_>
"Is Mordor NPS just outside of Washington DC, or IS IT actually DC? Or just the existential plane where the GOP and POTUS reside?"
<Iskierka>
SnoopJeDi, it's a fairly wide block on a log scale though, which is good at making big differences seem small
<Iskierka>
it would be better to use a game-theory-type score of like (dps*health)^0.5 * relative spawn rate factor
* Qboid
gives whitequark an epsilon quokka/javelin hybrid

<SnoopJeDi>
Iskierka, it's about one order of magnitude wide eyeballing it. Haven't bothered with confidence intervals or anything fancypants yet. DPS as a dimension is valuable, ta very much for suggesting
<SnoopJeDi>
I'm particularly interested in something my labmate mentioned to me, which is the introduction of difficulty tiers for raid bosses c.a. the lvl 80 patch (or something?), which at a glance looks like it is an inflection point for a wider distribution
<UmbralRaptor>
egg: AAAAAAA

<SnoopJeDi>
Iskierka, when you say game-theory, is there a specific mob analysis you're referring to? I'm not familiar with anything like √(dps*hp) (although hp/dps seems characteristic of damage output inasmuch as it's a characteristic time for an enemy to kill itself)
<egg>
NomalRaptor: any new daftness from your students?
regex has joined #kspacademia
<Iskierka>
SnoopJeDi, just random guess, there probably is an extension of sqrt(dps*hp) for mobs since that was entirely about the effective value of a unit
<SnoopJeDi>
Hm, I'm not familiar with a lot of the min/max maths, but it'd be an interesting way to proceed with this idea
<Iskierka>
certainly I've seen numeric rather than analytic tests of compositions that can account for things like targeting priority to determine how well the whole comp survives in more complex situations, so I'd relative unit prevalence could be accounted for in an analytic test
<SnoopJeDi>
I wonder if that game-theory-as-applied-to-Starcraft course is available online somewhere
<SnoopJeDi>
I guess even if it isn't, there's lots of that sort of thing on e.g. TeamLiquid
<SnoopJeDi>
I remember when LotV was in beta, someone made a really compelling case for altered mineral distributions to encourage more subtle texture to worker assignment and base expansions
<SnoopJeDi>
scipy.interpolate.LinearNDInterpolator has decided to become slow and I don't know why :(
<NomalRaptor>
Incidentally, [3, 4, 5] * 100 will not yield [300, 400, 500], an will slow Python down.
<SnoopJeDi>
is that particularly malperformant? Seems like an inexpensive (if not wrong) operation
<SnoopJeDi>
(obviously more expensive than e.g. numpy but...)
<NomalRaptor>
[3, 4, 5] * 2 = [3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5]
<NomalRaptor>
I tried to convert solar radii to meters.
<NomalRaptor>
*poof* no more ram.
<SnoopJeDi>
Right
<SnoopJeDi>
ah so you had large lists?
<NomalRaptor>
Not intentionally.
<SnoopJeDi>
I'm just doing something inefficient in the interpolation I'm using for this 3D field data
<SnoopJeDi>
my mesh is only 100x50x25
<SnoopJeDi>
NomalRaptor, incidentally, my favorite "do you actually know Python" gotcha is `[1, 2, 3] is [1, 2, 3]`
<NomalRaptor>
is?
<NomalRaptor>
Ah, something like ==
<SnoopJeDi>
not quite, because that snippet evaluates to `False`
<SnoopJeDi>
it's an identity operator, and the first list and the second list are instantiated separately (on CPython, anyway)
<SnoopJeDi>
wouldn't be shocked if there was some implementation where it evaluates to `True`, heh
<NomalRaptor>
aaaaaa
<SnoopJeDi>
I do kinda prefer it for testing against None (`x is not None`), though
<whitequark>
no
<whitequark>
it would be shocking
<SnoopJeDi>
if such an implementation existed?
<whitequark>
because the value of a list literal is always an object with an unseen before identity
<whitequark>
lists are mutable, this is a contract that your interpreter provides.
<SnoopJeDi>
well, when I said I wouldn't be shocked, I didn't mean to imply it seems likely
<SnoopJeDi>
Implementation land is for people smarter than I am

NomalRaptor: clearly you should have an interpreter that runs on a datacentre and automatically scales resources, that way you can bring down the whole datacentre with astronomical units :D
