<SilverFox> *finger guns*
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: yeah I need to unfuck my piecewise decomposition, I've been working around not really figuring out what is going on at the lower end of [1, 2**n] by shifting up the interval to somewhere where I could easily write the parts but that breaks down. There's definitely something happening at 23 though.
<UmbralRaptop> SilverFox, whitequark: I'd say 19-20, and 23-26, but those are survivable. 30, though…
<SilverFox> naw naw, 30 is midlife crisis territory
<SilverFox> early, but still on the edge there

<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: blargh I'm confused by this piecewise analytic mess for the approximation of the root
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: oh, at 23 γ > 1, so then things become discretely different I guess
<egg|zzz|egg> yeah seems it's that, but things become messy in a different way every time γ passes an integer so generalizing the piecewise mess seems annoying

<UmbralRaptop> Another mathematical cat?
<egg|zzz|egg> CS I think?
* UmbralRaptop needs to add an e_14159 quote to the gist.
<SnoopJeDi> My favorite way to describe Graham's number is "it's an upper bound on a number derived from this really interesting property that dwarfs the number of particles* in the universe. Incidentally, the number itself *might* be 13."
<UmbralRaptop> "Obviously there is some room for improvement."
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, I saw our local symphony orchestra play several of the Brandenburg concertos last night, I did not properly realize how badly I'd needed it.
<SnoopJeDi> Was reminded of you finding that hilariously-large collection of music on a NASA (?) FTP server ~ 1y ago
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: Brandenburg is great, have the Brandenburg 3rd & 5th Concertos on a SID6581: http://kaput.retroarchive.org/sid/brand_3_sid.ogg http://kaput.retroarchive.org/sid/brand_5_sid.ogg
<SnoopJeDi> OH BOY
<bofh> and yep, NASA SOHO raw data archive ftp, rofl
<SnoopJeDi> lmao yes I forgot it was SOHO but that makes it all the better
<SnoopJeDi> SID has always sounded rathy harpsichord-y to me, I wonder why that is
<SnoopJeDi> It was a really noisy audience though :(
<bofh> I think its filter has a somewhat similar response to that of a harpsichord's string resonance, but I'm not sure. It does to me too.
<bofh> Plus it has 3.5 voices, making it perfect for Bach.
<bofh> Also ugh. Noisy audiences are the worst :( Also ones where people clap at the end of each movement -- I get that you like the music, and it's great music, but sigh.
<SnoopJeDi> the worst of the noise was actually the symphony's fault: they handed out MINTS
<SnoopJeDi> that's just setting the less-empathetic audience members up for failure when they hold onto their mint for a few minutes and then decide they want one in the middle of the performance >:|
<bofh> UGH.
<bofh> Please tell me that at the very least they did that at the start of intermission and not, like, before the start of the performance? :/
<SnoopJeDi> both
<SnoopJeDi> ...yea :(
<SnoopJeDi> these are both perfect to listen to though, they played #s 2, 3, 4, 5
<SnoopJeDi> although not in that order, they ended with 2 (that poor trumpeter)
<bofh> yeah, those are the correct four to play
<SnoopJeDi> lol the flourishes in No. 5 played on SID
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, tangentially: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiBlL9pHMw
<kmath> YouTube - Frank Vignola Shreds Beethoven's 5th
<bofh> NICE
<SnoopJeDi> yea it's a *really* clever arrangement and I like that it isn't afraid to take some liberties with something "sacred"
<bofh> Same, that's the sort of stuff I want to hear more of.

<UmbralRaptop> SnoopJeDi: random silly question: do you use STAMPEDE?
<SnoopJeDi> the HPC facility?
<UmbralRaptop> Yeah.

* UmbralRaptop is getting emails that they're shutting down some of it?
<SnoopJeDi> naw. my computing needs are actually very mundane, I do most of my stuff on my little i5, and the bigger runs I'll be doing will probably be handled nicely by one node of our in-lab cluster.
<SnoopJeDi> Not sure TAMU has ties to it though, we're not hostile to UTA's dept or anything but we're also not particularly close
<SnoopJeDi> A lot of people use the Brazos cluster and HPRC's Ada is also pretty common (I've been very close to joining some of their ML-y workshops for professional development reasons)

<e_14159> UmbralRaptop: Which quote?
<UmbralRaptop> "what we do isn't actually a science, and the computers are optional" or something like that.
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: argh, this depends on the congruence class modulo n of the integer part of the magical constant
<egg|zzz|egg> (ok n is much larger than the magical constant so really it just depends on its integer part)
<UmbralRaptop> Hrm. Found an eggquote of it,
