<BPlayer> Uh, I asked in #kspofficial a while ago... Regarding rocket physics, if I use the equation s = 1/2 * a * t^2 + v * t and a changes in the process... May I just substitute a for F/ (m_0 - t * fuelConsumption)? UmbralRaptor said that it depends "on details", but he had to leave for a meeting. Anyone know what those details could be?
<SnoopJeDi> That kinematic equation is predicated on the acceleration being constant, so the longer your time samples are, the worse an approximation it is.
<BPlayer> Time samples?
<SnoopJeDi> the interval over which you're pretending it is constant
<BPlayer> Ah, wait, I think I have a flaw in my logic here
<SnoopJeDi> the formula comes directly from integrating a(t) twice, with the assumption that a(t) = a_0
<BPlayer> I am just substituting a(t) into the equation and assume the t on which a depends and the t already in the equation are the same
<SnoopJeDi> right, that's not mathematically sound, because the formula itself is based on the assumption that a(t) is constant
<SnoopJeDi> (this is why integrators exist)
<BPlayer> So I need to integrate the formula indeed
<SnoopJeDi> You're doing it anyway if you use a ballistic formula, you're just making assumptions which generally do not hold true
<BPlayer> I am calculating a suicide burn with this. In particular, I wanted to start the burn when the burn duration was equal to the time to impact. The suicide burn happens in an atmosphere, and when I start it, I am moving at terminal velocity, so I assumed time to impact was altitude / velocity (since velocity would be nearly constant). However, this does not take into account that I am perfoming the suicide burn,
<BPlayer> so the time to impact was off

<kmath> https://twitter.com/mcnees/status/925371446179876865 <mcnees> Hermite said of Weierstrass's construction: "I turn with terror and horror from this lamentable scourge of functions with no derivatives."
<SnoopJeDi> Happy ℋalloween I guess :)
<BPlayer> bofh: You're obliged to explain to me how Weierstrass' function works, now :P I've looked up and found that it is continuous but not differentiable. How does that work?
<SnoopJeDi> it's got kinks everywhere
<BPlayer> And how is it continuous in that case?
<SnoopJeDi> in the same sense than f(x)=|x| is continuous but not differentiable at x=0
<BPlayer> Okay, in what sense is |x| continuous at 0?
<kmath> <scanlime> @TucoTheCat I think he just brought this down from the rafters https://t.co/fPqCuN9MNU
<BPlayer> "a continuous function is a function for which sufficiently small changes in the input result in arbitrarily small changes in the output." I am currently thinking this
<egg|nomz|egg> BPlayer: the best definition being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function#Definition_in_terms_of_neighborhoods of course
<SnoopJeDi> in plain language, continuity means a "tiny" step away from the point in question means only a corresponding change in the function
<BPlayer> Yeah
<egg|nomz|egg> SnoopJeDi: nah, in plain language any neighbourhood of a value has everything that comes from a neighbourhood of the argument :-p
<SnoopJeDi> forgive me for trying to be clear
<egg|nomz|egg> topologyftw
<BPlayer> Humm, intuitively I would not call |x| continuous

<Qboid> egg|nomz|egg meant to say: um (also cat) https://twitter.com/scanlime/status/918913926103830529
<kmath> <scanlime> @TucoTheCat I think he just brought this down from the rafters https://t.co/fPqCuN9MNU
<bofh> pretty much what egg|nomz|egg and SnoopJeDi said.
<SnoopJeDi> BPlayer, another way to look at it is that continuity doesn't involve any "jumps"
<bofh> (it's trivially continuous since it's the uniform limit of continuous functions)
<SnoopJeDi> i.e. contrast |x| with the Heaviside function
<SnoopJeDi> or 1/x or whatever
<egg|nomz|egg> (unless there is a jump in the set from which you come of course)
<SnoopJeDi> actually nevermind, 1/x is a bad example because of lack of a defined value
<egg|nomz|egg> SnoopJeDi: yeah that's all very continuous on nonzero reals
<bofh> 1/x has a singularity at 0
<bofh> I almost said "pole of order 1", but no, that's what 1/z has :P
* egg|nomz|egg eggstends bofh to the complex plane
<bofh> ~*~ my home ~*~
<BPlayer> Humm, yes
<BPlayer> I think I get it
<BPlayer> So Weierstrass' function has a sharp edge at every point?
<SnoopJeDi> Correct
<bofh> Indeed.
<Iskierka> I assume this is just "can't differentiate to a continuous function"
<Iskierka> as they do look like non-continuous functions would work fine
<BPlayer> And how can an edge be at two neighbouring points? I mean, don't you need two lines to have an edge?
<egg|nomz|egg> nope, not differentiable at all, Iskierka
<SnoopJeDi> BPlayer, the original definition is a Fourier sum, so the lazy answer to that is "infinity is weird"
* BPlayer shuts up
<SnoopJeDi> I mean the answer is also "yes" you just have an infinite number of edges heh
<SnoopJeDi> the images on the wiki article do a good job giving a quick view of it
<SnoopJeDi> hah, the page for "Pathological (mathematics)" begins with ""Well behaved" redirects here. It is not to be confused with good behaviour."
<bofh> ROFL
<BPlayer> Ah, it is a fractal
<BPlayer> That makes more sense to me
<bofh> Also I love the "X (mathematics)" format.
<bofh> (cf. "Pair of Pants (mathematics)")
<SnoopJeDi> learning about the pants decomposition is the best thing I've gotten from A Capella Science
<egg|nomz|egg> '<SnoopJeDi> BPlayer, another way to look at it is that continuity doesn't involve any "jumps"' << so unfortunately that doesn't actually work as a definition (even if we require the function to go between connected spaces), because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topologist%27s_sine_curve; you need the graph to be closed as well as connected
<SnoopJeDi> that's why it wasn't presented as a definition egg|nomz|egg
<egg|nomz|egg> I know
<egg|nomz|egg> but it's a good idea to qualify these things with caveats
<BPlayer> "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. "
<SnoopJeDi> pathological examples are for mathematicians ;P
<egg|nomz|egg> bofh: it's also fun when there isn't the parenthetical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtually
<BPlayer> Uh, in how far is this related to function continuity? :P
<egg|nomz|egg> pairs of pants are topology so that's related
<egg|nomz|egg> virtually isn't, it's a common term in geometric group theory though
<bofh> ^
<BPlayer> Oh gods, mathematicians: "This link cobordism between the Hopf link and the unlink is topologically a pair of pants."
<egg|nomz|egg> and sometimes in geometric group theory you have pairs of pants
<SnoopJeDi> continuity is a basic building block so it shows up pretty much everywhere
<egg|nomz|egg> I may have taken this very seminar
<bofh> egg|nomz|egg: well doesn't that follow from the closed graph theorem since [0,1] is a compact Hausdorff space?
<SnoopJeDi> although it wasn't brought up because it's related so much as #kspacademia reasons
<SnoopJeDi> (can #kspacademia be considered a Lévy flight?)
<egg|nomz|egg> "kspacademia reasons" explains a lot of things here
<egg|nomz|egg> bofh: I'm confused, what does the pronoun refer to
<bofh> "that" being the topologist's sine curve counterexample
<bofh> :P
<SnoopJeDi> the preferred pronoun is sinh
* SnoopJeDi ducks
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: LOL
<SnoopJeDi> my math advisor pronounces sinh as "shine" and I love it so much more than "sinch"
<soundnfury> SnoopJeDi: that is the _correct_ pronunciation.
<soundnfury> However, how is "Sith" pronounced?
<SnoopJeDi> to quote a friend who often got frustrated at my linguistic games, soundnfury: "language doesn't exist!"
<BPlayer> Presumably correctly
<soundnfury> SnoopJeDi: What.
* SnoopJeDi is an irreverant descriptivist
<Iskierka> language is a social construct
* soundnfury is an irrelevant prescriptivist
<soundnfury> i.e. I'll shout at people that they're using language wrong, but they never bloody listen ;)
<SnoopJeDi> "What do we want?!" "The versine!" "When do we want it?!" "A train leaves Grand Central Terminal traveling at..."
* SnoopJeDi did not get enough rest last night
* UmbralRaptor rams haversine with a boat.

<BPlayer> Hi!
<BPlayer> Just wanted to ask, what's up with the negative voltages on MOSFETs?
<BPlayer> You said the ones I found were fine aside from the size, but the voltages listed there were positive
<Ellied> the N-channel one expects a positive voltage from gate to source, the p-channel one expects a negative one. the datasheets look fine to me.
<BPlayer> Humm, okay
<Ellied> I guess it could be depletion mode or something but I'd expect them to make more of a big deal about that
<Ellied> That N-channel one looks great; the P-channel one is *probably* fine but it looks like its gate threshold might be a little high.
<Ellied> the maximum threshold is 4.0V; usually I'd be sure to clear the threshold by a bigger margin than that for a part that's seeing a lot of power
<Ellied> no big deal if that's your best option, but I might shop around a little more
<bofh> Fiora: the whole thing gets even more silly/insane when you realize Manafort was Victor Yanukovych's campaign manager before he was Tr*mp's.
<Ellied> it should stay in the good ohmic region up to a little over 2A at 5V on the gate, which is enough for your purposes
<Ellied> I'm still really pleased with myself that my first introduction to Manafort was http://scp-wiki.net/scp-1730
