mofh, also a good partner cosplay window!

(either VOY 1 and 2 or maybe different instruments on either)
<mofh>
indeed!

Okay, academia.edu, why do you think that I'm bnums?

egg|cell|egg: that's what i was thinking, yeah.

(also i maintain /ʁ/ sounds slightly weird)

mofh: how so
<egg>
mofh: also speaking of fun accents there's a polish server at the train bleu
<mofh>
i do wonder how polish-accented french sounds like
<SnoopJeDi>
my advisor mentioned TRIUMF in this talk yesterday and used the French pronunciation
<SnoopJeDi>
and some of my cyclotron colleagues were joking about it on slack?
<SnoopJeDi>
"you guys, the françois pronunciation is the most correct one, it's in Vancouver >_>"
<SilverFox>
yo what if, because we're running out of letters to use for constants and shit, just use emojis?
<egg>
mofh: uncertainty question
<egg>
mofh: if I care about not just about the mean value of something, but the range/distribution of values that it will take, how should i represent that
<egg>
mofh: e.g. i don't just want to say that the mean longitude at which the satellite crosses the egguator is 12.345(6) deg E, I want to say that it will remain within 32 arcsec (1 km) of its nominal track there

huh
<egg>
rqou: I'm surprised that this is enough to not match i
<egg>
rqou: also strange cat

yawns, stretches, and nyaaas

egg: yeah, unfortunately most of my friends seem to prefer these strange floofs known as "dogs"
<egg>
caniformes

rqou: they're a weird kind of otter basically

[WIKIPEDIA] Caniformia#Phylogeny | "Caniformia, or Canoidea (literally "dog-like"), is a suborder within the order Carnivora. They typically possess a long snout and nonretractile claws (in contrast to the cat-like carnivorans, the Feliformia). The Pinnipedia (seals, walruses and sea lions) are also assigned to this group.

egg: hmm
<egg>
that 12.345(6) deg should probably have a lower uncertainty if that's the uncertainty of the mean when the range of values is within 32 arcsec but anyway,
<mofh>
egg: honestly i'd just give the interval of validity in that case, pretty much eggsactly as you just stated ("12.345(6) deg E, within 32 arcsec of nominal track").
<mofh>
there might be a nicer way but it's not coming to mind currently
<egg>
mofh: so in that case i'd be detecting the nominal track
<mofh>
hm
<egg>
i.e. that 12° 34′ 56″.78(9) E would be the nominal value
<egg>
(because the mean is as good a guess as any :-p)
<egg>
and then I want to eggspress the range of values around it
<egg>
mofh: also that would be in a UI so long quotes from the GUM are not an option as the primary way to deliver the information,
* UmbralRaptop
chirps in confusion at rqou's large white otter
<mofh>
egg: I mean I'm unconvinced that that's not an option in a UI,
<egg>
mofh: other question is how to represent it
<egg>
mofh: I can have a MeasurementResult<T> that's a measured value T and a standard uncertainty Difference<T>, but what is this dispersion?
<egg>
mofh: and yes clearly i can have “where the number in parentheses is the numerical value of the combined standard uncertainty u_c referred to the corresponding last digits of the quoted result.” after every number in my UI :-p
