<mofh> egg: so i think it's more the sudden realization
<mofh> that Akkadian is a Semitic language, and that's why the way that it uses vowels and consonant stems for (strong) verbs is sensible

<SnoopJeDi> whitequark, the final measurements were done at 150 GPa apparently, but I think this is a very tiny volume. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1201-8

<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: UmbralRaptop: is there some obvious simplification of v×(w×v) where × is the cross product
<egg|zzz|egg> (you don't actually need to summon the cross product here of course, this is just the result of the left action of (w∧v) on v)
<UmbralRaptop> BAC-CAB?
* UmbralRaptop ignores that there are veggtors not in R³
<UmbralRaptop> … this cross product is 0, right?
<egg|zzz|egg> that's fine my question is 3d
<egg|zzz|egg> ah right, that's wv² - v⟨v,w⟩
<egg|zzz|egg> not immensely nicer tbh :-p
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: yeah i don't think i have anything nicer than wv' - v{v,w} (which still isn't very nice, honestly)
<galois> title: Alex Parker on Twitter: "… "
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: {} for the inner product!? D:
<mofh> er, wtf, i meant to type \langle & \rangle, how the heck did that come out as curly braces?!
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: well yeah the eggscentricity is badly conditioned
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: it's still hyperbolic within 1σ :-p
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: yeah i'm wondering if within 1σ is significant enough to actually consider it hyperbolic, which if true, sounds like a big deal
<egg|zzz|egg> why
<mofh> hyperbolic comets seem rare? given that the last one made the news for many months
<UmbralRaptop> If I'm reading that right, this comet is probably the 2nd most hyperbolic ever observed
<UmbralRaptop> (previously: 1.19, and some one that got ejected in the 80s hit 1.05)
<SnoopJeDi> mofh, you mean 'Oumuamua?
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: No guarantees are made (either expressed or tacit) for the skewness, kurtosis, higher moments, and other properties of the distribution of this uncertainty
<UmbralRaptop> egg: aaaaaaaaaaaaa
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: legalese jokes aside, the keplerian elements are ridiculously conditioned near e=1, so the distributions of those uncertainties are probably wild
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: a has a fun uncertainty too
<egg|zzz|egg> -29(25)
<egg|zzz|egg> i haz sigdecs / nooo they be taking my sigdecs away
<egg|zzz|egg> wait no that's not the right wording
<galois> title: Ferret: "Go off, king." - Radical Town
<mofh> SnoopJeDi: yes
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: yeah, that makes sense
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: keplerian elements can be ""fun"" sometimes, i keep forgetting that property...
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: also they're heliocentric elements, not barycentric elements, so for a faraway comet they're variable because jupiter, meaning they don't characterize the distant behaviour
<UmbralRaptop> aaaaa
<egg|zzz|egg> also with an arc span of only 7 days you can probably fit the comet to an elephant
<UmbralRaptop> 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<mofh> why would they give those as heliocentric anyway? barycentric would be actually *useful* (well, more useful).
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: because conversely, the barycentric elements don't characterize its behaviour well where you can look at it
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: relevant image from the Principia discord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/480397772248580098/573902671031959572/screenshot196.png
<egg|zzz|egg> (that's Duna-centred inertial)
<egg|zzz|egg> note how the larger ellipses have been beaten up a bit
<egg|zzz|egg> (Ike is ridiculously big, to the eggstent that its L4 and L5 points are not stable)
<mofh> wtf
<mofh> ...i like the eggstreme wobbliness in the purple arc. what the heck would even cause such short-term periodic behaviour anyhow?
<UmbralRaptop> hrm. Ike is ~6% the mass of Duna?
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh_: Duna-Centred, not Duna-Ike barycentric

<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: don't recall, but over 3,8 % or so which is the threshold for stability
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: oh, right, that would make sense. >_<
<egg|zzz|egg> mofh: clearly you need to play principia to develop an intuition of what real orbits look like in various reference frames
<egg|zzz|egg> esp. since RO is out for 1.6.x now \o/
<egg|zzz|egg> x=1
<UmbralRaptop> 1.7 when?
* egg|zzz|egg glares at glint
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: so uh during the equinoxes you get glint when the satellite is at the equator between the hours of 7:30 and 16:30 or thereabouts
<UmbralRaptop> uh oh
<mofh> egg|zzz|egg: it's on the unboundedly-growing stack that is my TODO list already, :p
