* bofh mews timidly
* UmbralRaptor offers pets?
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: bofh: pretty plots https://imgur.com/a/ic2OvfA
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: compare the "Replicating" plots with the figures from the paper, it looks fairly close
<UmbralRaptor> hrm
<UmbralRaptor> Interesting number scheme
* bofh is petted
<bofh> egg|anbo|egg: ooh, that *is* eggstremely close, I am impressed.
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: UmbralRaptor: note: the last two plots are turned 90 deg from the previous ones

<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: bofh: uum also I forgot a sin in the process
<egg|zzz|egg> something something small angle
<UmbralRaptop> sin as in sin, or as in sine?
<egg|zzz|egg> ooooh okay with the sin it makes so much more sense
<egg|zzz|egg> sinus
<bofh> lol
<egg|zzz|egg> (why do the english call it sine anyway, that's not even the vocative, it's not the second declension)
<bofh> (I have no idée?)
<UmbralRaptop> Saying all of 1 - x^3/3! + x^5/5! -… takes too long?
<bofh> https://twitter.com/AJ_FI/status/1080623017909207041 this is incredibly frustrating

<UmbralRaptop> Apparently CNSA considers the first far side landing less important than many agencies consider a random comm sat or ISS cargo launch.
<UmbralRaptop> >_<
<bofh> I think it's more they think the fallout from a failure is worse than anticipating a success.
<bofh> It's a very soviet way of thinking
<egg|zzz|egg> yeah
<egg|zzz|egg> i mean, it's not necessarily incorrect, but rather annoying
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: bofh: redid all but the first pic https://imgur.com/a/ic2OvfA (though it's the last two that change significantly, with s/id/sin, the rest is just stretched vertically to have sin and cos on the same scale)
<bofh> in the meantime I'm trying to pull out a video stream for CCTV13 w/o having to deal with Flash and fucking hell I am sick of this shit.
<egg|zzz|egg> cat is making strange noises while sleeping
* UmbralRaptop assumes that ANBOcat is having a bad dream.
<bofh> maybe ANBOcat realizes that egg|zzz|egg and company are leaving tomorrow
<egg|zzz|egg> :-/

<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: with the sine it's less insane, at least the secular behaviour in the degree and order 10 selenopotential isn't a triangle somehow :D

<kmath> <Cosmic_Penguin> Current #ChangE4 status: wave function not yet collapsed
<bofh> should be another 30 minutes or so before we should be able to collapse that via carrier doppler
<bofh> or maybe xinhua will send out a press release, who knows

<kmath> <✔b0yle> .@CGTNOfficial tweeted what looked like confirmation of #ChangE4 landing, but then deleted the tweet.... https://t.co/DRZtTD4CzN
<bofh> UmbralRaptop: amazing
<kmath> <jstpwalsh> If @NASA had handled Apollo 11 the way the Chinese have handled the #ChangE4 landing, I could maybe understand the the conspiracy theorists

<UmbralRaptop> uh, you might want to change your /nick
egg|anbo|egg is now known as egg

<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: what is it with the new horizons habit of randomly naming things haphazardly
<UmbralRaptop> If the IAU can't come up with an official name after >4 years…
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: well, the discoverers are supposed to suggest a name to the UAI that's not the name of an eggsisting body...
<UmbralRaptop> Speaking of which, 2007 OR10 still doesn't have a name.

<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: again it's the discoverer not doing their naming job :-p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(225088)_2007_OR10#Naming
* egg|zzz|egg pokes @plutokiller with a pointed stick
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: tbh the argument of needing a nick for outreach isn't very convincing considering 67P
<egg|zzz|egg> which is less catchy than MUnice :-p
<UmbralRaptop> Churyumov-Gerasimenka?
<egg|zzz|egg> yes
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: admittedly in fr they nicknamed 67P "tchouri", but mostly I saw 67P in en
<UmbralRaptop> The extent to which people went to avoid pronouncing an easy name was weird.
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: whitequark: ru transliteration! ^
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: "tchouri" is a cute nick
<UmbralRaptop> It's not like an Icelandic volcano!

<UmbralRaptop> Anyway, if it'll be open to anyone in ~300 days, what's a creation deity associated with the color red?

<egg> UmbralRaptop: hardest problem in astronomy
<egg> UmbralRaptop: alternatively, you could name it wrt to its moonness
<egg> instead of its redness
<UmbralRaptop> Units and axes being the second hardest.
* egg|zzz|egg pets UmbralRaptop with the ICRS axes
<egg|zzz|egg> (ICRFv2 or ICRFv3)
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: I was thinking more like H-R diagram.
<egg|zzz|egg> (or Gaia CRF? or HCRF?)
<egg> tfw no qboid and no cat
