bofh: that's not a problem, you can make e.g. bone toothpicks; the bones aren't very resilient to being thrown against iron plates, but since the goblins are badly armored eventually they hit *something*
<UmbralRaptop>
bofh: to be fair, the 1e8 was correct before I tried to improve performance by preprocessing my spectra.

should I have a particle detector,

bofh, :(
<bofh>
egg: I mean we ACTUALLY DID
<bofh>

<bofh>
also huh, that makes it easy to remember
<UmbralRaptop>
egg: Obviously.

bofh: tbh illinois-has-it-too-easy seems more unlikely than where-the-hell-is-bermuda

SnoopJeDi: I'd be shocked if the noise reduction firmware doesn't edit out cosmic ray strikes, making them useless in that role.
<UmbralRaptop>
bofh: well, yes. >_<
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptop, they don't AFAIK, hence the existence of that app that intended to use them to do science things. Looks like crayfis.io is now defunct, but there is, for example, http://cosmicrayapp.com/

Yep, those old exposure times were way off.
<UmbralRaptop>
Well, the *really old* ones should be okay, but anything between the end of AAS and now…
<UmbralRaptop>
Also, when you actually have to read out more than once, those times matter. Though getting 1e8 more photons than eggspected should help.

Other shenanigans: getting 3 cm/s precision on Altair requires over 5 million exposures with a Neid like instrument on the LBT.
<UmbralRaptop>
Each exposure saturates the detector in 1.76 seconds.

UmbralRaptop: cm/s?
<iximeow>
centi-minutes?
<iximeow>
(that doesn't make much sense either, but)
<iximeow>
... or cm/s as in its velocity, which makes more sense
<UmbralRaptop>
iximeow: as in a (radial) velocity.
<iximeow>
i.. was unaware that we measured the radial velocity of stars
<iximeow>
h-how
<UmbralRaptop>
Take a spectrum, and measure the red/blue shift. (This cam admittedly get quite complicated if you want high precision)

<bofh453> Today I learned that the reason 廠 ("factory") got simplified all the way to 厂 was *literally* b/c the communist par… https://t.co/GqRTfqU7ai
<SnoopJeDi>
"Traditional character 廠 / Simplified Character 厂 / Missing Component 敞 'spacious'" what the fuck
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, 产 also looks suspiciously similar...
<SilverFox>
the fuck does "spacious" have to do with a factory?
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, sounds like it'd be interesting reading if you have a link
<bofh>
sec, I'll ask the person I'm talking to for more details
<SnoopJeDi>
SilverFox, thatsthejoke.jpg
<SnoopJeDi>
"joke"
<SnoopJeDi>
I would conjecture that it's probably referring to the large spaces typical of many factories. You might not call them "spacious" in the comfortable sense, maybe, but...
<SnoopJeDi>
I also know nothing of Chinese so that speculation is baseless
<SilverFox>
I guess "expansive" is the more correct term
<SnoopJeDi>
could have strong contextual dependency, too. I yanked that "missing component" from a random analysis of a poem as a way to look at the usage of different scripts
<SnoopJeDi>
wiktionary gives 敞 as "spacious; open; broad; roomy"

I mean Yttria has a melting point of 2425degC, so you basically have to powder-press it into whatever you want then anneal

rofl "solubility in water: insoluble. solubility in alcohols and acids: insoluble" you don't fucking say

UmbralRaptop: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<UmbralRaptop>
"The acronym NWATR begins with N as a tag for spectroscopy software, and WATR stands for water vapor absorption, etc."
<bofh>
as far as NMR acronyms go, that's tame as shit
<UmbralRaptop>
…NASA, wat are you doing?
<bofh>
I mean, there's WATERGATE ("WATER suppression by GrAdient Tailored Excitation") for a still tame other example
<APlayer>
There was one called COWS or something like that?
<UmbralRaptop>
o_O
<APlayer>
Could someone remind me what I am thinking of?

cringes, though
<UmbralRaptop>
APlayer: NMR notably has Proton Enhanced Nuclear Induction Spectroscopy.
<APlayer>
Don't
<bofh>
and then there's "Matrix Analyis of Relaxation for DIstance GeometRy of an Aqueous Structure" (MARDI-GRAS)
<bofh>
and then there's "Evolving Algorithm Serving Your Global Optimization Needs Gladly; Decoupling Using Mind Boggling Optimization" (EASYGOING-DUMBO)
<UmbralRaptop>
o_O
<bofh>
like I can literally go on all day with these, PENIS is by far the worst but there's a lot more that are bad
<APlayer>
I assume NASA PR department did not let those through?
