<kmath_> <whitequark> my favorite nonmetallic element is definitely sulfur look at this wonderful yellow color 💛 https://t.co/ZTcQnxECoK
<egg> also UmbralRaptor would disagree about nonmetallicity here :-p
<whitequark> copper, obviously

<UmbralRaptor> Hrm… bofh?
<UmbralRaptor> I think everyone else is at least half a continent away.
<SnoopJeDi> MAGFest is a very good time!
<SnoopJeDi> I think Jason Scott is there again this year?

<UmbralRaptor> So, PDF or CDF? https://photos.app.goo.gl/augkA1OZgJacm3AN2
<UmbralRaptor> Context: showing the limits of high precision spectroscopy on a given instrument. Eventually the required exposure times become so long, that the star will set (or the sun will rise) first.
<SnoopJeDi> is the odd-duck bin a typical thing in publication?
<SnoopJeDi> (presumably N=1?)
<SnoopJeDi> I'd say CDF if it's a must-keep, it throws off the scale badly in the PDF plot
<UmbralRaptor> The odd-duck bin is so I can show how many stars got 0 observations.
<UmbralRaptor> <_<
<UmbralRaptor> But, this could be a bad way. (as you implied)
<SnoopJeDi> I'd probably put that in the caption, or as text on the figure itself
<UmbralRaptor> It's possible that the majority of the text on my poster will be captions.

<SnoopJeDi> oh neat, he's discussing the work done at DNeg a little bit
<SnoopJeDi> Apparently he is of the opinion that the wormhole is the most egregious violation of the laws of physics in the film
<SnoopJeDi> (can't say I agree, the spinning docking seems FAR less plausible?)
<UmbralRaptor> Maybe a graph (or at least that sort of graph) is the wrong way to show the data.

<bofh> whitequark: so I'd say the giant lossless touhou torrent but I have no idea what happened to that since nyaa got shut down, so at this point I'm actually not sure.
<bofh> there *has* to be a better option than just YTrips tho...
<whitequark> which torrent
<whitequark> magnet is a thing
<bofh> whitequark: http://www.tlmc.eu/ there's even a new one out as of a few days ago
<bofh> it's got like every single touhou-related/touhou-adjacent song ever, so you prolly want to select only the ones you want to grab from the torrent
<bofh> (also magnet doesn't help much if the tracker is down. DHT *does*, but often has a limited timeframe of usefulness for each torrent file due to bootstrap nodes eventually all changing from the ones in the file to new IPs)
<whitequark> patience is golden with DHT

<UmbralRaptor> egg: currently running errands, then more panicking about- getting ready for AAS.
<egg> UmbralRaptor: AAAAAAAS
<UmbralRaptor> More or less.
<bofh> egg: hmm, good question. presumably instantiate the template on a minimal yet complete problem for the code?
<egg|cell|egg> Bofh: i think I have an answer but eating now, back in a bit
APlayer has joined #kspacademia
<egg> bofh: back
<egg> bofh: so we've been doing profile guided optimization on the ksp plugin based on a manually-recorded journal of actually playing the game, which makes me increasingly nervous (what if we miss an actually-hot path, e.g. run the game on stock and don't go through the oblateness path)
<egg> bofh: so I'm considering making the larger bits of principia::physics (mostly the ephemeris) their own dynamic library (with only the instantiations used in the KSP plugin), that we can optimize and then benchmark on its own
<egg> bofh: has to be a dynamic library though because msvc won't do profile-guided optimization on static libs
<bofh> wait, why the fuck not? that's an idiotic limitation.
<egg> bofh: dunno, but it's annoying me
<egg> bofh: I think the thing is on msvc pgo implies lto
APlayer has quit [Ping timeout: 383 seconds]
<egg> bofh: aaaaaaaaaaargh but that's not going to work because the bits in ephemeris don't have a DLL interface

<UmbralRaptor> !wa Io period
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: Io | orbital period: 42.46 hours
<egg> UmbralRaptor: why list mag vs. dec?
<UmbralRaptor> egg: looking for circumpolar stars that are bright enough to be good high precision RV targets.
<egg> hmm
<UmbralRaptor> It's probably silly, but this was inspired by my current list going entirely between -20 and +60.
<UmbralRaptor> *target star list
<UmbralRaptor> Bleh. Maybe I just need a copy of the Henry Draper catalog. That's all sky and complete down to some magnitude, right?
<egg> HD?
<egg> huh
<Qboid> egg: [HD] => Henry Draper

<soundnfury> egg: but Hit Dice :(
