<soundnfury> you know, the worst part of that is the "IoT" :|
<soundnfury> also, that's at least the second time Qboid has hard-coded the credentials of an IoT device. Clever bot.
<SnoopJeDi> an ideal attachment actually lol

<SnoopJeDi> 20:48 < thebananaking> FB post from loonies worried that EMF from smart energy meters would give them cancer, everyone mocking them for it
<SnoopJeDi> 20:49 < thebananaking> I pointed out that just because it hasn't given people cancer in the past, you can't assume it won't do so in the future
<SnoopJeDi> 20:49 < thebananaking> it's called the Problem of Induction
<UmbralRaptor> Lenz be Faraday about this, and not jump to any conclusions.
<SnoopJeDi> When we rush to conclusions, everyone gets Hertz
<SnoopJeDi> What, was that joke a little low-rentz?
<UmbralRaptor> Maybe. But Oersted of complaining, I really need to think of more relevant terms.
<SnoopJeDi> Oh come on, you Cannae hardly read on the subject without coming across them.

<rqou> egg|work|egg: have you ever heard the theory that being good at algebra and being good at analysis are mutually exclusive?
egg|cell|egg has quit [Ping timeout: 204 seconds]
<rqou> it's definitely true for me
<rqou> er, i meant to ping egg|zzz|egg instead, damn tab complete
APlayer has joined #kspacademia
<SnoopJeDi> rqou, can you clarify what you mean by "algebra?" :P
<rqou> i was thinking abstract algebra e.g. groups/rings/fields/etc.
<SnoopJeDi> I would say that stuff is inherently analytical, personally
<SnoopJeDi> (so pretty much the exact opposite of the proffered rule)
APlayer has quit [Ping timeout: 383 seconds]
<rqou> hmm, i don't know about "inherently"
<rqou> e.g. i have a "good enough for a CS major" intuition about groups/fields/etc. but if you ask me to e.g. prove that a sequence converges, i just have no clue what to do
<SnoopJeDi> Pragmatically speaking, there's always gonna be some stuff that is left as a black box. E.g. if you can prove such-and-such "fundamental" thing, you might have something else underlying it (e.g. set theory)
<SnoopJeDi> but mathematical intuition certainly lies at an angle to analysis, you can have one without the other (although skill in one frequently bleeds into the other)

<soundnfury> SnoopJeDi: for reasons of historical accident, "analysis" usually refers to derivatives and limits and δs and εs, which I think is what rqou meant
* soundnfury gives SnoopJeDi an ε < 0
<SnoopJeDi> yes this is what I took it to mean as well
<SnoopJeDi> in the sense it's used in course titles for real/topological analysis etc
<rqou> yup, right now i'm trying to struggle through problem sets about Lipschitz continuity and i just suck at it

<SnoopJeDi> yea x2 is just an exponential function
<rqou> yeah
<SnoopJeDi> other one looks susceptible to an integrating factor
<SnoopJeDi> probably helpful to write it as x1(1+x2) instead

<G-Mobile> How long do you think it'd take until there is no object in the universe that can be said to have been part of Cassini

<soundnfury> G-Mobile: does Huygens count?
<soundnfury> that's pretty much intact, just dead
<Greys> according to wikiperia the mission was called Cassini-Huygens, which would suggest that they are indepedent space-identities that travelled together for a while
<soundnfury> also, does the PAM count as part of Cassini? That's probably out there somewhere in heliocentric orbit now
