[00:26:45] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: If you stare into the Event Horizon long enough, it stares back with Hawking Radiation. [00:32:56] A LEGO O'Neill Cylinder? https://www.flickr.com/photos/154489981@N04/30101992097/ [00:55:34] hi [00:55:45] good day Modbot o/ [00:56:30] lo [01:01:19] i just read there will be a falcon heavy launch tomorrow [01:01:35] i hope i can catch it [01:01:42] It was supposed to be 20 minutes from now, got postponed due to high altitude wind shear [01:02:08] i see [01:02:31] I'd recommend letting the barge catch the boosters [01:04:09] doesnt make for a good video though [01:12:32] https://static.projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/styles/os_files_xlarge/public/eht/files/20190410-78m-800x466.png?m=1554877319&itok=m0gPFSet [01:12:50] somehow i dont feel impressed [01:14:59] … [01:15:26] The outer diameter of the ring is 50 μarcsec [01:15:50] (might be closer to 40) [01:17:52] Or, 1000x smaller than a pixel on HST [01:24:54] uh [01:25:00] now im impressed [01:29:59] Yeah, it's blurry because we're working right at the limits of what's possible, and even getting this involved a few decades of pushing advances in VLBI and millimeter radio astronomy! [01:30:30] (Incidentally, the team published six papers today. All are open access.) [01:31:47] https://iopscience.iop.org/issue/2041-8205/875/1 [01:31:53] that shot is better than my best shot of Saturn [01:32:04] (420mm on micro-4/3) [01:32:44] and considering that black hole (sag-a?) is significantly further than saturn... [01:33:11] Amusingly, GRMHD shows up a lot in the papers. [01:33:49] M87*. Apparently Sgr A* was way harder, so they don't have pics yet >_> [01:34:05] so the black shadow is the event horizon and the disk around is bend light from the acrederatation thingy? [01:34:08] yeah, followed your iop link and then googled [01:34:12] virgo A [01:35:09] ok, even further than sag-a [01:35:18] so yeah, impressive [01:35:25] 55million km or so [01:35:34] lightyears [01:35:38] lol [01:35:47] yeah, 55million km is 1/3 of the distance to the sun [01:35:55] yeah :) [01:36:00] a slight rounding error, there ;) [01:36:07] only slight [01:36:58] hmm, seeing Mpc makes me want to read the Wrinkle in Time series again [01:37:16] (where I first heard of both parsec and megaparsec) [01:37:27] huh [01:38:23] also where I first heard of a tesseract [01:41:10] isnt parsec like the distance in angle between celestial bodys or something odd like that? [01:41:28] it's 3.27 or so lightyears [01:41:42] ^ [01:41:48] but based on 1 arc second of parallax from earth's orbit [01:41:56] ah yeah [01:42:10] hm [01:42:13] Or, 1/parallax angle as measured from earth in arcseconds [01:42:21] oh, and duh, first heard of parsec in starwars [01:42:33] hah [01:42:34] "kessel run in 12 parsecs" [01:42:47] but then finding that parsec was distance, got terribly confused [01:43:21] (hey, I was 7 when I first saw star wars) [01:43:30] 11 when I read WIT [01:43:47] maybe 12 [01:44:49] same with scifi lightyears [01:45:19] anyway, I later read somewhere that the kessel run involves a lot of black holes and other dangerous objects, so doing it in 12 parsecs meant getting dangerously close to things [01:46:00] I've never encountered scifi using lightyears incorrectly [01:46:06] Han solo did the kessel run in SOLO [01:46:46] (maybe compressing the distances, but light was always distance [01:49:07] i just have a faint memory of being annoyed by a movie/show using it for time [01:49:34] maybe its just the "lightyears ahead" [01:49:56] time ahead/distance ahead... same thing, really [01:50:01] ^ [01:50:06] well [01:50:32] if you can, find that movie and double check the context [01:50:33] "tesla is lightyears ahead in reusable rocketry" [01:50:42] distance [01:50:56] damn you are right... [01:54:35] I thought Tesla was on Earth. [01:57:51] Earth takes 10,065 years to travel one lightyear around the sun. [01:59:43] Wait, a Tesla in space doesn't mean it's a rocket company. [02:01:45] just cahnge tesla for "Elon musk company" [02:02:01] i cant seperate them in my head [02:02:26] im also tired from work [02:28:58] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Did you know that black holes are actually prisons for star vampyres? [02:30:46] Huh, don't believe I actually have this one.

[02:35:05] UmbralRaptor: M83, after a mix-up. [02:35:26] At least there are sweet, sweet synth tunes while you're spaghettified to death. [02:42:36] Soviet Cylinder colony? https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/r4wzo5wtcjq1banige2m.jpg [02:46:29] Haven't seen this one before either http://classconnection.s3.amazonaws.com/499/flashcards/2158499/jpeg/downtown_in_colony_bussiness_district1355123298251.jpeg [02:58:37] hrm [09:56:47] https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/crash-support-group.58120/page-2#lg=attachment128576&slide=0 [10:11:38] Sorry. I don't have any crashes to share. Lucky for me, I don't crash! My son says that a crash landing is still a landing. Therefore, I have nothing but landings! :p I will admit that some landings require more repair than others, though...:sneaky::p lol [10:12:08] you know, as long as the plane can still fly [10:12:27] I crashed a wing once and it snapped in half, it was only held up by a bit of tape so if I pitched down it would fold [10:14:53] actually I have it here https://youtu.be/BJecbW4ig60 [10:14:53] YouTube - only up challenge [10:27:55] wow!! https://xkcd.com/2135/ [10:31:33] Kerbal Space Program 1.7: “Room to Maneuver” is now available! [10:31:38] ooh, updateski [10:31:41] https://imgur.com/gallery/f4Xypih [10:44:22] "Fix bug where symmetry would break animations on some parts." - I wonder if this fixes a problem with scripting I had. That would be nice :) [10:44:28] ( https://steamcommunity.com/games/220200/announcements/detail/1792904174913848330 ) [10:44:49] i wonder if danny's literal worldbreaker bug was fixed [10:47:06] I'm not sure if it can reasonably be fixed. looked probably like some floating point precision madness to me [10:47:44] if they prevent the movement range workaround then it'd be harder to fix [10:47:47] *to do [10:48:50] according to the comments the bug is from 1.3 or earlier [11:31:48] can youtube stop auto-pausing videos [11:37:25] auto pausing? [11:45:38] yeah when the tab isnt active [11:45:53] I often put music and play some game and it pauses after a while [12:25:29] is that maybe your browser pausing inactive tabs? [12:25:50] no I think it is a youtube feature [12:26:18] how long is "a while"? because i haven't noticed anything like this [12:26:32] not sure, at least 30 minutes [12:27:15] and is that in the middle of a video, or playlist not forwarding, or autoplay canelling? [12:27:26] *cancelling [12:27:36] any video, it just pauses and gives a message asking to continue [12:28:05] never seen that [12:37:06] I've seen that [12:37:11] but for some reason not very often [12:37:17] couldn't make out a pattern [12:37:37] but I'm on Firefox, maybe Mozilla says: Nah, we don't tell you when a user is inactive? [13:11:36] Youtube constantly fiddles with the player. It never behaves exactly the same as yesterday [13:12:32] packbart, and it's also not the same for everyone due to A/B testing [13:13:10] ...I need a new username that cannot be linked to my existing ones [13:15:18] I just realized that that might imply something nefarious lol [13:15:20] GlassYuri: there are username generators... [13:16:33] it's an MMO character name so it should be somewhat nicer than just face on keyboard [13:18:44] for a MMO? Why not? Just say it is dwarven/Elish/etc [13:19:46] the reason I can't use my existing names is that I work at the company behind the game [13:20:22] I was meaning "face on keyboard" [13:21:01] I know I just spent three minutes typing the second part of that message [13:21:39] in most fantasy settings dwarves and elves don't sit at desks which they could facedesk into [13:22:41] so it' Gnomish (aka tinmkerer Gnomes) [13:23:12] and in a science fiction setting there... would be some contrieved reason why heroes don't facedesk [13:23:37] because they're augmented and would smash right through [13:24:27] and if the desk is armored then it's either the desk or their face, too many variables involved, impossible to tell beforehand [13:25:05] facedesk into an armored desk would be a form of russian roulette then [15:17:39] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/565903026833850378/DSC_1047.JPG [15:18:00] Fluburtur: sooooo, part3? ;) [15:18:09] soon [15:18:24] I just need to joint the cockpit to the wings [15:18:38] then I guess I will order the electronics and route all the wires later [15:19:56] 1.7 is out? [15:27:00] uh [15:27:58] apparently [15:30:42] it is [15:30:54] Fluburtur: \o/ [15:53:42] hehe falcon heavy was delayed a day again [15:53:58] but at least scott made his video about black holes [16:03:58] … wait, I cam abuse my op powers [16:04:48] (All hail open access publishing) [16:25:09] nice [16:25:27] I have an issue where my launcher window for ksp is super tiny on my screen [16:25:31] how do I fix this? [16:25:46] can't even see the update button its so small [16:25:48] dont use tha launcher :) [16:25:58] but then i cannot update [16:25:58] the update button doesnt work anyway [16:26:04] oh [16:26:24] just download it from the store [16:26:30] if you want to update [16:26:34] will i lose saves? [16:26:48] no, but some things might be incompatible [16:26:58] lately not really, to small updates [16:27:07] okay ill do that when I get home, thanks [16:27:09] mods vary in compatibility as usual [16:27:19] rather than this, put it in a new location [16:27:25] and copy the saves and craft files [16:27:52] thanks [16:40:43] so when does the israeli lander touch down? [16:50:39] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/565926538399318030/DSC_1053.JPG [16:52:34] サーキット [17:12:59] なに? [17:13:47] hrm, I don't seem to have a proper IME for that keyboard. [17:13:54] !!!!1.7!!!! [17:14:02] just one day I look away [17:14:03] omae wa mou shindeiru [17:14:31] i dont have ime either. i asked my bot to convert latin to kana for me :) [17:15:08] heh i thought 1.7 should have been out already, and i was loking for days and nothing happened [17:15:10] so i gave up [17:16:10] anybody knows how i can combine delegate_to with wait_for_connection in a way that i can specify user name too? [17:16:26] in ansible [17:16:35] UmbralRaptor: which is the more important story. the black hole or the effectiveness of this interferometry [17:18:27] or maybe it doesnt even need the user, but then i wonder why it failed [17:18:42] Rokker: really, other depends on what you want to focus on? [17:19:41] There's an argument to be made that the interferometer is more important right now, but in a few more years, the black hole(s) will be. [17:19:53] Compare with LIGO? [17:20:03] what do you want to do with the black holes? [17:21:04] 1. build huge interferometer 2. take picture of black hole 3. ??? 4. profit [17:23:07] probably because of the delegate it wanted to log in, and then wait for a connection, which is stupid since to log in it already needs it [17:23:37] probably i can turn it into a simple port check or a normal shell command [17:26:35] Mass measurement via the shadow and photon ring sizes, features of the inner accretion disk (rotation speed, direction, other weird things since you're doing relativistic magnetohydrodynamics) [17:27:03] hehe relativistic magnetohydrodynamics soounds like a nightmare [17:27:25] https://xkcd.com/1851/ [17:27:30] see the hidden text [17:29:43] More or less, yeah [17:31:13] aha, ther is a simple wait_for that accepts port and host and even regex, exactly what i want [17:31:27] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/254984631512858634/565936668356378645/image0.jpg [17:56:39] hehe i just found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7h7Mfe8BDw [17:56:39] YouTube - Make It So - A Parody of "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen [18:57:23] Mat2ch https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429717171002933269/565958571267981334/DSC_1058.JPG [18:58:04] and the bunch of wires https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429717171002933269/565958656877920296/DSC_1060.JPG [18:59:02] fluburtur builds [18:59:04] niuce lights [19:09:41] what, scott again [19:39:06] wait, the beresheet lands in 5 mintes?

[19:45:56] hehe the scrolling of the chat window [19:46:02] obviously write only [19:50:04] there can be real live feed from the moon. but probably we will get data in cgi visualiziation [19:55:02] wow this tank was molten https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/548167406674116609/565972836250812419/Destroyed_Panther_tank_Germany_1945.png [19:55:32] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/548167406674116609/565968729867812880/0v52rm52nnr21.png [19:56:09] hehe [19:56:23] now if they could switch to using english in the stream [19:58:18] Woooot found a HP Photosmart 210 digital camera at a local thrift store for 4 bucks....circa 2000, kinda love old tech heh [19:58:42] gonna make retro movies?

[20:20:11] lost signal? [20:21:00] It's a point and shoot like my Coolpix L19, but much older apparently. It came with a 4MB CF card [20:21:45] speeding up [20:23:03] and a cable that looks like a VGA male plug to 3.5mm male headphone plug [20:23:06] main engine issue [20:23:34] it is too fast [20:24:07] probably not enough reserve power to make up for this [20:25:01] Lost communication. [20:25:05] probably crashed [20:25:16] it was still high up [20:25:24] or maybe not [20:25:41] hehe people writing f for respects in the chat [20:26:17] crashed [20:28:16] hehe [20:28:25] i swear this was the fastest quit ever [20:28:38] 4 seconds [20:28:50] Space is hard though.
