egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

⟨jfinizolas⟩ ⟪paculino⟫ Do you have that mod that aims to […] ⮪ "tutorial : how to transform your cpu into a thermonuclear warhead"
<queqiao->
⟨twistedgiraffe⟩ ⟪paculino⟫ Do you have that mod that aims to […] ⮪ The closest mod I ever heard of is to randomly destroy one part of your spacecraft based on how many debris you have in space.
<queqiao->
⟨twistedgiraffe⟩ ⟪raptop⟫ hrm, principia can't really do this, […] ⮪ Principia can simulate the non-relativistic precession of Mercury. Can't see a reason why it can't simulate that if you have a _good_ computer 😏
<raptop>
I'd have to double check on the compute requirements of those diffusion methods
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ I've installed principia but it breaks time acceleration
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ In that it tells me i can't time accelerate while the vessel is undergoing acceleration
<queqiao->
⟨twistedgiraffe⟩ Are you... landed?
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ i'm above the karman line
<queqiao->
⟨twistedgiraffe⟩ Hover over your craft in the map view and see the situation. It may be a KSP bug.
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Did anyone tried fast forward like billions of years with the principia solar system model to see if any catastrophic or crazy changes happen?
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Like idk, the moon just flying away xP
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Or like you said mercury hitting Venus or something xP
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ i can't go to the tracking center because it's a simulation
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ curiously, only happens if i decouple the first stage?
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ ⟪jfinizolas⟫ Did anyone tried fast forward like […] ⮪ i think even with better time warp warping forward a billion years would take atleast a real life year
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ although maybe you could just set your time to a billion years, but ksp would probably break by then
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ no I think principia needs you to step forward sequentially
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ You can probably do the same math off ksp to optimize it
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ And just integrate one quadrillion steps xP
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ...there seems to be a lot of, well, uninformed speculation going on here...
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ The first thing you'd probably run out of doing that is either memory or storage
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Indeed I have no idea what I’m talking about :V
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Do you need to store your previous steps?
<queqiao->
⟨sleepysaf⟩ you can't just step forward ksp patched conics a billion years and then switch over because nothing will change over that billion years
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Why?
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ (Please observe Rule #5)
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ I have a genuine question
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ That’s all
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ The first thing you'd probably run out […] ⮪ But why would you need to story every single step you took? Isn’t all you need to know the recent state of the system?
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ I guess that’s down to how one integrates
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ In my brain I just think about a “linear integration system”
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ There is a large difference between 'what's theoretically possible' and 'what Principia, an integrator designed for a particular use-case, implements'.
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Uhumm
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ As far as KSP is concerned, the player needs to see the history of the vessel, so of course that is stored. If you might recall the formerly long-standing issue #2400, storage of the trajectory is in fact a very large .
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Yeah my question was going to a more theoretical side that didn’t think about ksp limitations
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ...and, hence, becomes irrelevant to #principia.
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ But shouldn’t the math be the same?
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Like Euler integration is the same anywhere
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Idfk guess I will shut up
<raptop>
Yes, though you will get Newton, Dedlambre, Størmer, and Verlet leapfrogging around you
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ Like Euler integration is the same […] ⮪ That’s an example I know principia doesn’t use Euler integration
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ No need to “facepalm” me
<queqiao->
⟨jfinizolas⟩ I’m just someone that has practically zero knowledge on numerical integration with questions
<raptop>
Clearly there's a need for a channel with egg's ~~wrath~~ lecture notes on numeric integration
