oh! This article actually sums up a lot of the ideas we heard yesterday on AdS/CFT and hydrodynamics. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v2/88
<SnoopJeDi>
I could only follow so much of it, but I'd never considered the importance of hydrodynamics for black hole merger ringdown. Something something membrane.
<UmbralRaptor>
Currently queueing 2007-01-01 to 2016-12-31. Wonder if 1997-01-01 to 2006-12-31 for DCA and IAD would be a good idea.

Yea that was a cool lightbulb moment for me, realizing that ringdown can be viewed as there being a sink for the membrane's canonical momentum
<SnoopJeDi>

<Iskierka>
has that test been done? (and was there an answer?)
<egg>
but you could shove Unicode in there via punycode
<SnoopJeDi>
"Note that this proposes “turning the volume up to 11”: changing the version number for Emoji v6.0 to Emoji v11.0 to synchronize major versions of Emoji and Unicode."

<rqou>
oh yeah, punycode is great, especially if people aren't expecting it

rqou: what do you think of GCL unification as an analogy for CJKV unification
<rqou>
people keep forgetting punicode ccTLDs exist
<egg>
yeah I know
<rqou>
GCL unification isn't quite sufficient
<egg>
when they do that I poke them woith a pointed stick
<rqou>
it doesn't involve quite the same geopolitical issues as a result of colonialism and WWII as Han unification
<egg>
yeah >_>
<hattivat>
very true
<rqou>
anyways, brb class
<egg>
rqou: well, the CL bits could cause geopolitical issues somewhat
<rqou>
see you in an hour
<egg>
\o
<hattivat>
CL in the Balkans
<hattivat>
that would be huge
<egg>
hattivat: you saw that kk wants to switch to kk-Latn?
<hattivat>
standard Croatian and standard Serbian differ basically only in script
<egg>
with freaking apostrophes
<egg>
hattivat: yeah but there's an sr-Latn too
<egg>
with a standard transliteration
* hattivat
looks up kk
<hattivat>
egg: there is no such country code, what is kk?
<egg>
language code
<hattivat>
oh, kazkhstan?
<egg>
KZ
<hattivat>
yeah, heard of it
<egg>
should have said KZ wants kk to switch to Latn, but I gave the language its own mind instead :-p
<egg>
also the above sentence is BCP-47 porn
icefire has joined #kspacademia
<hattivat>
kk switching to Latin would be weird, given how it is surrounded by Cyrillic countries
<hattivat>
I mean, even Mongolia is Cyrillic nowadays
<egg>
yeah
<hattivat>
although I recall Uzbekistan making some moves towards Latin
<hattivat>
so maybe not so weird
<egg>
hattivat: anyway, YouTube has both sr-Latn and hr (as well as sr-Cyrl)
<egg>
languages \o/
<hattivat>
sr-Latn and hr being separate is a linguistic debacle
<hattivat>
cases like this is why many people refuse to use the words 'language' and 'dialect' in a professional setting, and use 'idiolect' instead
<hattivat>
I mean, Northern Chinese 'dialects' have almost no intelligibility with Southern Chinese 'dialects', but fuck it, it's one language because politics
<hattivat>
while standard Serbian and standard Croatian are based on literally the same dialect from the same county of Yugoslavia
<hattivat>
but hey, we hate each other, so let's pretend we're different
<hattivat>
(standard serbian and standard croatian as opposed to local dialects, which can of course be quite different)
<egg>
hattivat: yeah, and you have stuff like dalmatian croatian which is hard for hr speakers to understand whereas they understand serbian just fine :D
<hattivat>
yeah, exactly
<egg>
ninjhattivat
<hattivat>
Malaysian and Indonesian are another example
<hattivat>
although they at least have meaningfull differences in loanwords and slang due to different colonial influences
<hattivat>
standard malaysian is much easier to understand for a speaker of standard Indonesian (not the many of them, realistically only people who learned the language at school) than the Jakartan dialect that you're much more likely to hear in real life on a street
<hattivat>
s/the/that
<Qboid>
hattivat meant to say: standard malaysian is much easier to understand for a speaker of standard Indonesian (not that many of them, realistically only people who learned the language at school) than the Jakartan dialect that you're much more likely to hear in real life on a street

<bofh>
20:15 < hattivat> cases like this is why many people refuse to use the words 'language' and 'dialect' in a professional setting, and use 'idiolect' instead
<bofh>
idiolect is a good word, particularly b/c both the Serbs and the Croats are being total idiots here.
<hattivat>
bofh: /me tries to come up with a funny alternative etymology for 'dialect', but fails
<hattivat>
but yeah, they are being total idiots in this regards
<hattivat>
wish it was just them though
<hattivat>
interesting how South America seems to have avoided this
<bofh>
hattivat: former Yugoslavia seems to be by far the worst and the most depressingly violent too. :/
<hattivat>
out of all the idiocies in the world, they at least managed to avoid this one
<UmbralRaptor>
hattivat: that's because they did all the killing in the 19th century?
<hattivat>
bofh: long history to it, as you are probably aware
* UmbralRaptor
stares at the war of the triple alliance.
<bofh>
hattivat: nearest I can tell a lot of it was papered-over long-standing ethnic tensions under Tito that sort of came to the forefront and then were fanned/exacerbated by various nationalistic forces who did so in the hopes of attaining power?
<hattivat>
Balkan Slavs did a lot of killing in the 19th and early 20th century too, didn't seem to result in anything other than even more violence in revenge later on
<bofh>
(with the "long-standing" dating back to such fun things like being under separate parts of Austro-Hungary / Independent / Ottoman Empire, and yeah what you just said too).
<hattivat>
but they didn't thoroughly rape and sacrificially slaughter any particular country quite as hard as SA did Paraguay
<hattivat>
so maybe Paraguay sufferred so that Lord Dagon keep Spanish united
<bofh>
Yep, WWII for the Balkan Slavs (actually, for everyone, but especially the * Slavs) was a terrifying terrible disasterfuck of evil.
<bofh>
:/
<hattivat>
plus the long-standing Serbian insistence that Croats are just 'mountain Slavs' to be forcibly united with the motherland at any cost
<hattivat>
see: WW I and the insane Serbian losses sustained in it
