[03:16:16] Yup. [03:16:19] @_@ [03:16:38] Love to be able to flash some of those when brotrucks with LED bars blind me at night [03:18:56] consider: that power output as coherent light [03:20:14] A bigge laser? [03:20:37] yes [03:21:06] That would be quite effective at removing brotrucks that slight me [03:40:06] oooh! Kopernicus stable is now 1.11.1 compatible [04:20:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:07:39] https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1358486648359591937 [09:08:27] If there's something weird [09:08:27] And it don't look good [09:08:27] Who you gonna call? [09:10:46] I wonder how many new variants will emerge, just because people are vaccinated... [09:11:17] people (and some media) are already talking about covid-21 due to all the different mutations [09:11:21] fun times ahead [09:12:40] there's going to be a wildly mutating virus at one point that eradicates humanity [09:12:49] the uk is alarming but not that bad with the vaccines happening. i dont know about the brazilian variant, but i knew for a while that some of the vaccines are down to 60% with the south african [09:13:48] so if we can do the vaccinations fast enough, then the parallel mutation routes of the virus go down and we can avoid selection pressure, since there will be almost no virus remaining [09:14:26] but with speed vaccinations are going to take many months [09:15:55] by that time the disease will have run its course [09:16:11] does it have a course? [09:16:31] infect all of humanity [09:16:54] there is always a few percent natural immunity [09:17:04] sure [09:17:20] and most people will recover just fine [09:17:44] just like with the spanish flu, it will largely vanish and become irrelevant [09:17:46] does anybody know what the actual death rate is? [09:17:53] unless the mutations keep going [09:18:29] of course they are keep going [09:19:20] but its unlikely the mutations will reinfect everyone [09:19:34] i think it is here to stay. but once the total mass infections go away, since you are either vaccinated or already had it, it will be like the flu [09:19:56] the spanish flu came back a few years ago [09:20:02] it was barely even noticeable [09:20:12] that's how covid19 will go as well [09:20:32] on the upside, the new tech they've been using for the vaccines [09:20:39] it should allow faster responses to new strains [09:21:46] Althego: https://covid19tracker.cc/ they say 2.2 % [09:22:06] Izaya: the new tech allows so much more. It's great :) [09:22:12] the problem is how do they knwo the number of people who were infected but didnt have symptoms? [09:22:18] But still a new vaccacine takes a year to make. [09:22:33] because of the regulations and research trials [09:22:54] which is a long time, but also a significant improvement [09:22:59] you should be able to estimate this at least [09:23:24] take enough people, test them and see. Then extrapolate the numbers [09:23:33] (which was already done btw) [09:34:27] uhhh. SN10 has heat shield tiles on one of its flaps [09:35:04] somehow you must protect those too [09:35:59] but doesnt matter if it explodes on landing :9 [12:36:20] (local) leet time [12:48:11] when is local yeet time? [12:49:02] whenever that is, not decided by the looks of the digits. maybe by local traditions passed on through generations [14:02:12] when you throw the clock out the window [14:17:03] I wouldn't litter with clocks. [14:18:15] i wouldnt even throw an old christmas tree out the window [14:24:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:30:25] littering with clocks? Ain't nobody got time for that! [15:35:22] less than a day until the uae hope mission arrives to mars [15:35:36] https://www.emiratesmarsmission.ae/ [15:35:48] at least they have this handy status display [15:40:04] oof https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/550136750937473038/808361506047393852/2021-02-08.png [15:41:48] heh, the chinese had to choose the same date for their landing as perseverance [15:42:07] dont tell me it will be a dual stream [15:43:57] no wait, i just misread that [15:52:06] hmm, pad clear? maybe a static fire [15:52:25] or they are not at that point yet [16:05:07] hehe, the return of the wide kiara [16:24:05] Althego: pressure test maybe [16:24:15] but the flaps are unhooked :P [16:24:19] yes, more likely [16:24:39] 10 days until the NASA rover landing [16:25:03] I'd say: Today pressure test, if that goes well, tomorrow static fire [16:25:11] and if that goes well flight at the end of the week [16:26:24] with this weather they could do flight envelope expansion :) [16:27:39] I figured out that I can control my firefox over mpris. Now I can make it stop playing music over ssh. Which is quiet useful. [16:27:53] Action: Mat2ch is getting even more lazy [16:28:16] i dont go far from the computer :) [16:28:29] so i am even lazier [16:28:36] more [16:28:43] no, it doesnt need more [16:28:44] anyway [17:00:50] Althego: I usually work on my laptop and have my pc running. Well, I should get a music player somewhere that doesn't need that much power... [17:06:36] they prepared in advanced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm0b_ijaYMQ [17:06:55] -d [18:46:43] scott [18:48:11] yay [18:48:13] 11 minutes ago [18:59:14] Althego, thinking is tough [18:59:31] Math is tough because thinking is tough [18:59:36] yes and it is getting harder each day [18:59:53] Yes [19:06:34] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKt34DZHLkA [19:06:55] math is usually tough because you get a non-constructive proof that a solution exists during lecture, and then need to find the solution entirely on your own [19:07:25] Math is tough because you have to prove shit [19:07:36] Proofs are tough, especially on abstract structure [19:07:37] Proofs are tough, especially on abstract structures [19:08:15] minas_tirith: no swearing [19:08:27] Sorry [19:09:14] raptop, math seems to require a lot of thinking [19:12:09] i don't do sums that i have to think about it [19:13:15] flayer, sum is a very general concept [19:15:14] just do quick hacks like gauss [19:17:12] sum is everything [19:17:22] you do not need anything else [19:17:55] You can sum reals, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, functions [19:18:11] i don't know what any of those are [19:18:33] also, multiplication is just some sums [19:20:18] kubi_x, its not that simple. Even in case of reals, once you get into fractional numbers multiplication becomes complicated [19:20:29] Reals themselves are peculiar and complicated [19:20:43] it is not about if it is complicated or not [19:26:10] martin is pumping out videos on the second wintergatan channel as if there is no tomorrow [19:31:33] Action: raptop slaps kubi_x around with a ring [19:31:45] hehe [19:32:30] Does ring have multiplication defined [19:32:35] yes [19:32:49] Generalization of fields apparently [19:32:52] So yes [19:35:10] i hate that we were never taught the english equivalent of all the words of mathematics and physics [19:35:34] What [19:35:42] it is really hard to look up what is what. ok i could have taken both courses in english, but at that time i thought it was hard enough to pass even without that [19:35:56] What language did you learn math in [19:38:53] so if i think of the words that are used, ring was equivalent, but for field i would translate that to english as body. and lattice, as a net. a lattice sounds like a grid to me, not at all a net. really annoying [19:39:36] Same
