Today's colloquium was the best so far this year. On the possibility that solar system formation was kicked off by a low-mass supernova
<UmbralRaptor>
Today we went of a Bayesian Magic™ reanalysis of the Proxima Centauri B data.

Hmmm. Kinda makes my distributed build queue development seem a bit underwhelming by comparison.
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptor, it was also just the guy's delivery. rare to see a speaker who understands their audience very well and can simultaneously speak broad strokes to the uninitiated-but-still-competent folks without sacrificing technical details for savvy people
<SnoopJeDi>
and, at the risk of saying something kinda racist, even rarer to see that in a Chinese speaker

I put the death day on my calendar last week :(
<Ellied>
tbh I'm more interested in what people would do with the guts (motor, gearbox, etc) of the juicero than as an assembled press
<Ellied>
but otoh I doubt many people interested in dismantling it bothered to buy one
<SnoopJeDi>
Probably more after that post than before
<SnoopJeDi>
The teardown, I mean
<Ellied>
man, spectroscopy is neat.
<Ellied>
what's also neat is controlling a spectrometer in a different part of the city from my bed.
<SnoopJeDi>
I had the recent pleasure of explaining that the reason why the Michelson interferometer is so freakishly accurate is that counting is the one measurement we can do with effectively infinite precision
<Ellied>
heh
<Ellied>
the spectrometer I'm working on is intense, but it's still not really even close to as accurate as the michelson interferometer for telling closely-spaced lines apart.
<SnoopJeDi>
yea not a terribly related thing to say, but I'm a bit loopy at the moment
<SnoopJeDi>
(which *is* relevant: I got 15 turns out of my cyclotron model today!)
<Ellied>
nice!
<Ellied>
damn, no wonder nobody has 1 GOhm resistors. There's nothing cheap about 'em.

Ellied: so wait a second, why do you need 1GOhm resistors?
<bofh_>
does your transimpedance amp have sufficient gain *and linearity* for them to be both useful and necessary?
<kmath>
<donttrythis> Hey!! I love all of you and here's a note that elucidates my thoughts on some of the complex debates happening on m… https://t.co/ooRxfamYaR

this is, ofc, where it's available at all. Amazon doesn't show it anywhere (though counts one more edition than listed so I KNOW YOU MADE A KINDLE VERSION, PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE. JUST SELL IT ALREADY, I'D'VE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED PAYING AS MUCH AS THE HARDBACK
<Ellied>
I hope this GDT is up for being run for the 2+ hours it will take to record its spectrum
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: or any other ideas for a spacelike keyboard design

I have an asexual dwarf (not goblin) called nomal, but she's a planter, not a scholar (she's planting mushrooms right now)
<egg|zzz|egg>
Nomal the scholar is discussing the screw at the moment
<Iskierka>
so just raised catholic then?
<egg|zzz|egg>
Iskierka: dunno, she has two deities
<egg|zzz|egg>
also a mason has created an artifact marble statue
<Iskierka>
but does get very squicky over reproduction despite being hetero
<egg|zzz|egg>
"The Warm Brute", a marble statue of Erak Boltedbrook; Erak is unnaturally contorted; relates to the animation of the body of said dwarf by the human necromancer Ohe Wettin in the Steppe of Defending in the early spring of 20; encircled with bands of marble cabochons, menaces with spikes of marble, on it is an image of a papaya tree in marble.

UmbralRaptor: She is a dubious worshipper of Nôdub Zalstom "The Punches of Medicine" (a deity of the Glaze of Obstacles, who often takes the form of a female dwarf and is associated with war and fortresses) and a worshipper of Nosîm (also a deity of the Glaze of Obstacles, also manifests as a female dwarf, associated with poetry, generosity, and charity).).
