<Raptop> That looks oddly like a Bluetooth logo.

<kmath> <bigbadshrey> also learned at @CarnegieAstro that Hubble had a cat named Nicolas Copernicus, pictured here #awesome scicomm… https://t.co/VyI0Vt5V9i
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: 20:39 <Zethar> It's pretty incomprehensible
<bofh> 20:41 <Zethar> Ana zitar (= to Zethar) qibima = (say?) umma NUNUZ (= from egg) alkamma (= ????)

<bofh> 20:54 <Zethar> It'd probably be "NUNUZ ki'am ana Zišar aqbi, umma akanu-ma '<quoted text>" if that's what they were looking for (Egg thus [I] speak to Zethar, and I said thus:)

<whitequa1k> do you use a phonetic layout?
whitequa1k is now known as whitequa2k

<kmath> <SwiftOnSecurity> Hello I made this for you https://t.co/j1kTkbTxQb
<bofh> so someone I know played the point-and-click adventure game in math club at like late at night when I'd often spend time there during my first year of undergrad and I'd often follow along
<egg|cell|egg> Whitequark: what's with the number
<bofh> I think it's the only game to actually give me nightmares
<bofh> (also yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Scream_(video_game) someone made a video game out of *THAT*. Imagine secret of monkey island, except instead of good-natured pirates and pun battles, it's despair, horror and omnicide).
<whitequa9000> that sounds awesome
<whitequa9000> Bokurano, The Game
<bofh> ...yeah, it's a very comparable atmosphere, fuck.

<SnoopJeDi> egg|zzz|egg, bofh is there any reading you'd recommend on computing pseudoinverses? I'm unfamiliar with them but it's become necessary for me to "invert" an underspecified system.

<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: sec
<bofh> SnoopJeDi: will do in a few hrs, bit busy atm. pseudoinverses are nasty tho, what are you doing with them?
<SnoopJeDi> nothing particularly fancy really, I'm seeking a "good enough" solution to a dipole correction problem. My supervisor's approach is to compute the response of tweaking each individual dipole, construct a matrix, 'invert' and construct the desired corrections (and then iterate a few times)
<SnoopJeDi> it's almost certainly not a great way to optimize but it's a very general one
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, Roger Penrose's paper is actually quite readable, too! Although not exactly the kind of practical material I was looking for
