<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: it seems that it's a circle in ur iii and something rather different in the newer styles http://home.zcu.cz/~ksaskova/Sign_List.html
<bofh> Well that makes sense, since NotoSansCuneiform is I think Ur III style.
<bofh> except for the ones that are like, early dynastic Sumerian
<bofh> Huh, the neo-Assyrian form of that is like *completely* different.
<bofh> (also far more sensible)
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: yeah I wonder how you even write the circle
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: 20:20 <Zethar> Pretty sure the circle is "glyph not found"
<egg|zzz|egg> aaaaa
<bofh> actually let me feed NotoSansCuneiform into FontForge, run ReplaceWithReference() and see how many glyphs point to the circle glyph
<bofh> Huh, no others. That's interesting.
<bofh> OTOH that--FUCK I forgot to call SelectAll()
<egg|zzz|egg> wait wrong link
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, there's an Alexa/Home idea for the Omnibenevolvent Corporate Entities: "huh, that's interesting" overheard is IFTTT'd into a new github issue is opened for the app currently in use :P
<bofh> Okay this time it actually did the ReplaceWithReference
<bofh> I am good at things
<bofh> Still only one glyph that's a circle BUT this time it actually shrank the fontsize a bit
<bofh> Honestly if one split out glyph components from the glyphs in that font ReplaceWithReference() could prolly shrink it a ton, but I can't be arsed atm.
<bofh> Also the way FontForge implements ReplaceWithReference() is horrifying but OTOH is anyone surprised?
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: yeah it seems that this is some early numeral thing?
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: see e.g. plate 35 and following in https://cdli.ucla.edu/tools/SignLists/UET2.pdf
<bofh> Yep
<bofh> 20:35 <Zethar> In table 3 in appendix B in Hueregard you can see it
<bofh> Also there^
<egg|zzz|egg> présargonique sounds like some property of a topological space
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: 30 in Rosengarten too https://cdli.ucla.edu/tools/SignLists/Rosengarten.pdf
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: the funny thing is that e.g. rosengarten 32 𒐬 gets its composite form
<bofh> wtf
<kmath> <bofh453> What would no-scoping a grant proposal even entail? :P https://t.co/5KRkRmfWj7
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: I managed to get down to χ² = 92740.452654 :D
<egg|zzz|egg> reached χ² = 78364.998720
<egg|zzz|egg> that's still a silly P value :-p
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: so it seems that trappist paper uses an МCMC method which is somehow evolutionary too, and I'm using a genetic algorithm which is now equipped with a fancy annealing schedule
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: is everybody just gluing random bits on optimization methods until they optimize?
<SnoopJeDi> egg|zzz|egg, AFAIK yep http://nnpdf.mi.infn.it/
<egg|zzz|egg> "NNPDF determines PDFs using as an unbiased modeling tool Neural Networks, trained using Genetic Algorithms, and used to construct a Monte Carlo representation of PDFs and their uncertainties" okay yes
<bofh> ROFL
<UmbralRaptor> Buzzword bingo time?
<SnoopJeDi> "Protons are hard so we let machines lie to us about them"
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: btw, χ² = 78365 apparently corresponds to log P = -38257 :-p
<SnoopJeDi> oh wow neat, one of the PIs of NNPDF wrote a review paper on spin physics that talks about a future EIC https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.04842

<egg|work|egg> bofh: no that's not my point, you've used APOSTROPHE but it doesn't mean you should
<egg|work|egg> bofh: no style actually recommends it?!

<egg|work|egg> see that link
<bofh> really?! why the hell does it exist in Unicode then?!
<egg|work|egg> compatibility, but what with
<egg|work|egg> I mean it's like script small l
<egg|work|egg> (which is not mathematical script small l)
<egg|work|egg> (although people tend to use script small l rather than mathematical script small l for inane reasons)
<egg|work|egg> bofh: aaaah it's used in russian
<egg|work|egg> (and CJK compat but anyway)
<egg|work|egg> and so it's supposed to look like a scriptish N followed by a masculine ordinal indicator
<egg|work|egg> whitequark: bofh: btw there's also a comment about U+2103 in there
<bofh> > (although people tend to use script small l rather than mathematical script small l for inane reasons)
<bofh> wait those are *different codepoints*??? wtf.
<egg|work|egg> yes, see backlog
<bofh> I've always used script small l b/c that's what pdftex output iirc.
<egg|work|egg> bofh: okay so pdftex is notoriously bad at Unicode though
<egg|work|egg> xetex ftw
<bofh> yes but I acquired a lot of my TeX habits in 2009-2010 when I first learned it so
<bofh> something something old habits die hard, old typesetting habits doubly so
<egg|work|egg> bofh: Unicode 10 version of the chapter on symbols https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/ch22.pdf
<egg|work|egg> scroll to 22.2
<egg|work|egg> whitequark: so you're right: In normal use, it is better to represent degrees Celsius “°C” with a sequence of U+00B0
<egg|work|egg> degree sign + U+0043 latin capital letter c, rather than U+2103 degree celsius
<bofh> Yeah, I think you found exactly the thing wq quoted to me many months ago, thanks. :3
<egg|work|egg> bofh: but numero is not deprecated, it's just Cyrl-only
<egg|work|egg> bofh: of course, "Despite its name, U+2118 script capital p is neither script nor capital"
<egg|work|egg> bofh: wait U+2113 is also fine in mathematical notation?! "U+2113 script small l is derived from a special italic form of the lowercase letter l and, when it occurs in mathematical notation, is known as the symbol ell. Use U+1D4C1 mathematical script small l as the lowercase script l for mathematical notation"
<bofh> Well it seems to say use U+1D4C1
<bofh> but like, it makes sense that people use U+2113, it's the exact same glyph and in the BMP instead of an astral plane char. :P
<egg|work|egg> bofh: nah, it says that 2113 is the symbol ell in maths, distinct from a lowercase script l
<egg|work|egg> bofh: so treating it as e.g. Weierstrass p, a distinct symbol which is not in the usual alphabets
<egg|work|egg> (it's obvious that Weierstrass p isn't a script smol p)
<bofh> (well duh, a script smol p doesn't bring back PTSD memories of Elliptic Functions :P)
<egg|work|egg> bofh: I think the complaint from Ireland that unifying 2113 and 1D4C1 was incorrect (which led to 1D4C1 being encoded) pointed out that the script alphabet could have a different glyph for l
<egg|work|egg> (which makes sense, there are a lot of script fonts out there)
awang has quit [Ping timeout: 202 seconds]
<bofh> egg|work|egg: yes, but *why* would it? :p
<egg|work|egg> bofh: because it's up to the font, see column D, page 90 http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/unimath-symbols.pdf
<bofh> I know it's up to the font, but *why* would the font do that? :P
<bofh> I mean the font could do the insane thing, but why would it choose to do the insane thing, is basically what I'm asking.
<egg|work|egg> some script hands do this?
<egg|work|egg> the glyphs of the script alphabets are extremely variable
<egg|work|egg> whereas the ell pretty much must have that shap
<egg|work|egg> s/$/e/
<Qboid> egg|work|egg meant to say: whereas the ell pretty much must have that shape
<egg|work|egg> bofh: see here for details, the example script font in Ireland's defect report uses a very non-ell l http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2449.pdf
<bofh> wtf, that's an extremely non-ell l
<bofh> this is (imo) heresy.
<egg|work|egg> yes, because it's not ell
<egg|work|egg> it's a script small l
<egg|work|egg> bofh: I mean, it's clearly script, and it's clearly an ell
<egg|work|egg> s/ell/l/
<Qboid> egg|work|egg meant to say: bofh: I mean, it's clearly script, and it's clearly an l
<egg|work|egg> it's just not an ell :-p

<egg> bofh: I mean I guess the placement of that comma makes sense? the degree and arcmin act like bushel-separators, rather than units
<egg> (it's not a thousand separator, so clearly it's a 𒁀𒌷𒂵 separator :-p)
<bofh> https://twitter.com/bofh453/status/1001152403289329664 fwiw it was seeing *this* image randomly that inspired me to start that shitpost image thread (seriously every time I see it I burst out cackling madly).

<bofh> egg: I mean that's self-consistent at least, if not silly.
<bofh> (the capitalization really makes it, as if google thinks there's some organic complex that's abbreviated as PitBuLl)

<bofh> egg: might indeed be the case, hm.
<UmbralRaptop> egg: The TRAPPIST-1 fit has too few degrees of freedom?
<egg> UmbralRaptop: well I'm keeping some things constant at their mean from some MCMC ensembles to make the parameter space smol

<UmbralRaptop> I have some vague recollection that bodies in close resonant orbits like the Galilean moons or lots of eggsoplanets need some fancy description that Laplace developed because a, e, LAN, etc change frequently but regularly?
<egg> swiss criminality: somebody was annoyed at the sound of churchbells, sabotaged the 6:00 ringing with a timed switch
<UmbralRaptop> bofh: eating a poptart: like eating a pomegranate, but for coming to the US?
<bofh> UmbralRaptop: hey I LIKE pomegranates.
<bofh> egg: yikes
<bofh> egg: that's hilarious tho.
<bofh> UmbralRaptop: I have a similar vague recollection re: resonant orbits and their correct treatment, but hell if I can remember *any* details of it.
<UmbralRaptop> "osculating" shows up also. Bonus points if we get egg to cite a paper from the 1700s.
<bofh> I feel like egg citing a paper from the 1700s results in winning *some* sort of prize, just not sure which.
<egg> bofh: took them more than half a year to find the switch
<egg> thorough investigation after that too, the police suspected somebody who kept complaining the bells, found DNA evidence on the switch

<kmath> <Helios748> cat is mad I won't give her dinner early so she smacked me in the face with her tail, jumped out of my lap, and trotted off somewhere.

<bofh> also damn, that's a well-hidden switch, I'm impressed.

<bofh> Ah.
