[02:34:32] >_> [02:35:37] UmbralRaptor: Roger that, Lord Commissaraptor! [02:35:53] Oh, hey. Eric Mamajek was on that team. [02:36:53] Maximum power to the deflector array you filthy Ogryns! I want batteries on full alert, let's not let that stellar glare catch of us guard! And for the love of the Emperor, will some one fix that stuck starboard thruster!? [02:38:09] Marcos, Marcos & Aarseth, "Where the Solar system meets the solar neighbourhood: patterns in the distribution of radiants of observed hyperbolic minor bodies" Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronimical Society: Letters 2018 https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.00778.pdf [02:39:00] Action: Scolar_Visari reads the text. "Our N-body calculations and subsequent statistical analyses lead to the following conclusions" suggests their build of KSP had Principia installed. [02:43:33] Action: Scolar_Visari curses the Nature's paywall for, "Timing of oceans on Mars from shoreline deformation". [02:45:05] sci-hub? [02:45:52] No version of the text or its preprint us up for free anywhere on the web. [02:46:10] Clearly a conspiracy by the Dusters to, once again, put down us Belters. [02:46:20] Action: Scolar_Visari remembers the Cant. [02:46:42] blarg [02:51:01] !wa 52000 au in ly [02:51:11] ;wa 52000 au in ly [02:51:13] UmbralRaptor: convert 52000 au (astronomical units) to light years: 0.8223 ly (light years) [02:51:27] Argh, can't find "Options and uncertainties in planetary defense: Mission planning and vehicle design for flexible response" either! [02:51:39] UmbralRaptor: Pretty close, huh? [02:51:47] yeah [02:52:45] Sigh, at least I still have Ahrens & Harris' "Deflection and fragmentation of near-Earth asteroids". [02:53:21] One moment [02:56:23] Action: Scolar_Visari suspects most (if not all) the people criticizing the idea of deflecting asteroids with nuclear weapons have not read any papers on the subject but watched plenty of Michael Bay movies. [03:01:09] would you need like a pusher plate in order to do that [03:01:15] like on an orion rocket [03:02:14] tawny: No. Simply detonating a nuclear bomb near an asteroid's surface would be enough deflection provided at least a decade's worth of advance notice. [03:02:54] The facing surface of the offending asteroid would be vaporized by the weapon's radiation, generating an appreciable amount of thrust and providing the few m/s of delta-v needed for deflection. [03:03:51] Though the yield needed for deflection grows with the asteroid's mass. While a horrendous yield weapon would be required of super ELE sized killers, they're the least prolific NEOs and not a threat for the foreseeable future. [03:03:55] oh okay a decade ahead of time [03:04:22] that's a little generous though, I didn't think we were nearly good enough at tracking asteroids just yet [03:05:26] Meh, this only applies to very large examples. Running a probe into them is sufficient otherwise. [03:06:49] Advanced detection is infinitely more important than the particular means of deflection, though you could probably get comprehensive coverage against, "City killer" asteroids by making orbital scopes like WISE. [03:07:35] LSST should help considerably. [03:08:30] If an asteroid so much as farts, I want to know about it. [03:11:00] The vast majority of potentially threatening NEOs (that is, those that frequently cross Earth's orbit) should be small enough for deflection by kamikaze probes. [03:15:16] While this particular copy's not pretty, you can read *THE* work on the subject, Ahrens & Harris "Deflection and fragmentation of near-earth asteroids" Nature 1992 (albeit under a different title) at https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920011112.pdf [03:15:37] I used to have a scan of the original 1992 Nature article, but it appears to no longer be on the web. [03:17:09] Action: Scolar_Visari should probably place bets on the BFR's 2020 deadline being missed https://phys.org/news/2018-03-spacex-bfr-orbital.html [03:17:41] Scolar_Visari: Elon having a timeline that is too ambitious? [03:17:46] Noooooooo [03:18:49] Kosmonaut: Ah, yes, but I will be a wealthier organism for it. [03:19:44] To be frank, I really can't even imagine the finished vehicle (should it ever exist) looking anything like the current renders given the notorious weight gain that plagues aerospace development. [03:20:11] Scolar_Visari: yeah but it's like betting that 19 year old Mike Tyson is gonna knock out some rando in the first round. Like betting on the death Star being blown up [03:20:24] The BFR's gonna have a lot of the same issues the STS did back during fully reusable two stage concepts. [03:21:21] Kosmonaut: And yet, there are people who readily believe the BFR will probably beat the 2020 deadline in spite of everything. There's a galaxy's difference between optimism and reckless R&D deadlines. [03:24:14] It's rather . . . worrisome when someone comes on time and under budget with multi-billion dollar projects. [03:25:15] "Well, we completed our interplanetary space vehicle ahead of schedule! However, in the interest of reducing structural mass, our design team opted to remove the propellant tanks and pressurized crew section!" [03:25:54] no need for those! [03:26:09] "While our critics in the media may attack us for what we believe is a truly original developmental direction, I will also note that we've effectively eliminated the need for occupants to pre-breath before EVAs!" [03:27:08] Action: Scolar_Visari seriously ponders if the TIE Fighters lacked vehicular life support simply because Sienar Fleet Systems was running behind schedule on the system's design. [03:27:17] haha [03:28:13] Luckily for them, they were able to convince Lord Vader that it was a feature. [03:29:35] hey [03:29:38] he doesn't need [03:29:39] it [03:29:55] "Engineer! Where is the life support system on these blueprints?" "Well, ah, you see, Lord Vader, truth is we were running be- I mean running BRILLIANT ideas at the design bureau and decided that, ah, our pilots would be more productive if they simply carried their life support gear on their persons as you do!" [03:30:47] "Should we have told him we didn't have any more room for a hyperdrive?" [03:31:34] This leads to questions about the end of episode IV [03:32:03] UmbralRaptor: The TIE Advanced fighters (as well as teh TIE X-1) were all established long ago as having hyperdrives, which makes sense given how much larger they are. [03:32:29] ah [03:32:44] Amusingly, the prequels established a trend of hyperdrive lacking parasite fighters among the Jedi order, who had to use larger ships or dock with hyperdrive modules ala Episodes II and III. [03:34:16] Welp, look at the time [03:35:32] Supernovy: Espoo is pronounced like... and I don't even remember how, because I had a good idea about this few weeks ago but you just weren't around for it!

The 'Es' is like 's' in the alphabet, poo is like 'paw'. So say S-paw, and you get Espoo. [03:38:00] Like the network we're on right now. Ish. [03:38:12] EspooNet [03:41:21] Nah, this would be more like Espönet [03:41:26] Eshpoo [03:41:43] Oh, wait, that's the Sean Connery version. [03:42:39] Those Jedi Starfighters were so cool [03:42:45] And there you go, now you also learned the difference between Ö and O !

[16:07:51] UmbralRaptop: Iridium sat 5 is in 6 days, after the India and Chinese ones [16:10:35] so, i've been trying to play surviving mars for a week now, but it rather frequently crashes my system really hard. i think it triggers a bug in the graphics driver or something [16:11:41] that's not reassuring to hear, I was considering getting it :/ [16:12:50] if you're on windows it's probably fine [16:13:05] I'm not :P [16:13:15] well then... :p [16:14:47] I have mixed feeling about paradox and Linux support, sometimes it's great, other times it's terrible. For example EU4 runs a lot better than in windows, but multiplayer support is completely broken in Linux. It probably dosen't matter since they're the publisher, but I'm still wary. [16:15:29] well, surviving mars doesn't have multiplayer, but seems they screwed up linux and mac support big time from what i heard [16:16:40] and me personally i have 3 big problems: 1) it sometimes crashes on loading a saved game (seems to correlate with the game being paused), 2) performance is terrible, and 3) the aforementioned crashes of the entire system [16:17:05] and that's before all the smaller gameplay issues [16:17:19] otherwise, i actually really like the game [16:23:06] hmm, maybe they'll fix the issues eventually, but I don't want to get it until it no longer crashes :P [16:23:22] does seem like a good game though :D [16:23:47] i'm fairly confident they get that fixed in the near future [16:27:08] Why the heck did they think it was a good idea to put a 160GB hard drive in a NETBOOK from 2009? those things aren't even good for gaming. I wanna replace it with a 16GB SSD [16:27:47] replace it with a 160 GB ssd :) [16:27:47] Draconiator: cheaper [16:28:06] Eddi|zuHause: how is the game?

[16:42:43] hah i was waiting for this the wolfie6020 equinox video [16:50:28] so, over all i don't regret getting the game, but as for recommending it to others, i'd say wait for the next major patch in the next few months [16:50:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:51:34] i heard they're releasing the next originally paid content for free to apologize for the initial problems [16:52:27] (as like the other paradox games, a free patch and a paid expansion/content pack is usually combined) [16:54:47] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9w4KtHxZ68 [16:54:47] YouTube - Sorry Flat Earthers The Equinox Geometry does NOT work on a Flat Earth.

[17:05:01] Eddi: There is nothing that could convince them save for a total nerve stapling. [17:05:32] Even a flat Earther launched in to space on some one else's dime would likely claim it was all an elaborate illusion, rather than admit they were wrong. [17:05:56] Althego: even mathematically it doesn't actually make any sense, he says on the mercator projection map that you would need multiple suns, because the lines run in parallel, but then he puts the same parallel lines on the globe, and says they're all pointing to the same spot [17:06:09] yes i didnt get the mercator thing [17:06:21] i thought, hey , it should be the same on a round earth too [17:06:33] or maybe meant a flet mercator map [17:06:42] which is not a projection but a flat earth [17:07:17] Eddi: I half wonder if certain people adhere to the Flat Earth concept only because it makes some countries larger than those near the equator. [17:07:24] "See, the United States is nearly as big as Africa!" [17:08:02] i don't know... the world map i grew up with wasn't mercator projection...

[17:25:02] Althego: They're all flawed, of course. The Earth looks nothing like that from orbit! First of all, topography's not so neatly demarcated by changes in color and secondly, countries aren't all different colors like that! [17:25:41] dont forget the clouds [17:25:45] Ireland's not brown! [17:25:54] and the city lights [17:26:06] ...examining real life color differences between countries actually sounds pretty interesting [17:26:45] well that is a thing that exists [17:26:59] like where one country is deforested and the other has still forests [17:26:59] there would be so many factors to it, nature, climate, architecture, regional differences in instagram filter usage, [17:27:06] hehe these maps, remind me of school [17:27:13] looked somewhat like this [17:27:50] or one country has small fields and another has large fields [17:28:12] when I think of school maps it's gotta be those plastic ones which represent elevation in the third dimension [17:28:45] Althego: well those are pretty much the maps that all schools used in east germany [17:29:22] ye,s must be the power of socialism, bound us together :) [17:37:33] o_O https://twitter.com/DrAstroStu/status/976861676409671680 [17:37:33] Find that Vesta-to-Ceres sized impactors can produce the moons using a 600-900 km projectile would have produced on& https://t.co/CwT4ZHuqlJ [17:40:47] what does this mean [17:42:56] re-watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wX-l8GFBq8 [17:42:56] YouTube - The world's greatest autograph book [17:44:52] I wish I could see that book.

[18:01:54] Which moon is a capture then? Triton? any other? [18:07:21] ve2dmn: Triton and perhaps all the retrograde satellites of Jupiter. [18:09:21] Well... retrogrades orbits being a good sign of capture I guess [18:09:21] Probably the distant retrograde satellites of all the giant planets. [18:09:21] Any collision planned in the near future? [18:09:21] Does the JAXA MMX mission count? [18:09:21] ve2dmn: You'll need to wait a while for that to happen with Triton. [18:09:21] Scolar_Visari: I'm willing to wait, but my physical limits cannot [18:09:21] Unfortunately for you, The Singularity's been pushed back (yet again) and so things aren't looking good. [18:09:21] But seriously, a retrograde orbit sounds to me like it's asking for a collision with everything else in the next millions years [18:09:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:09:21] Scolar_Visari: pushed back?

[18:11:53] ve2dmn: Technically, and I shouldn't be saying this, the Universe's current engine doesn't support The Singularity. As it turns out, Moore's Law can't be scaled infinitely and AI's barely good enough for two dimensional pathfinding. [18:12:25] The Singularity's probably going to be lackluster paid DLC.

[18:28:31] Eddi: The same reason salmon come back to their spawning pools. [18:28:55] UmbralRaptor: I seem to think that's a consequence of the runaway greenhouse effect, rather than a cause. More modeling and science is needed! [18:29:02] Scolar_Visari: they are secretly from earth? [18:29:10] i mean, i suppose when they left venus they would have known about earth and considered that as destination if they deemed it habitable [18:29:24] ve2dmn: They use Earth to breed new Venusians. Towering creatures, many hundreds of meters tall. [18:29:39] The cycle will begin anew! [18:29:54] No. It will be the end of the cycle [18:30:02] The Shroud will consume all [18:30:27] Good thing those Venusians brought their technology with them. https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/49e26902-86a8-4436-a647-d88d60eeea04_1.be850b1ed286ae2f10607d9698cf689c.jpeg [18:30:37] ve2dmn: You fool! Why didn't you read the tooltip!? [18:31:49] ... my hand slipped ok. I pressed the button by accident [18:32:06] still... DOOOOOOOM [18:32:14] Sigh . . . At least we'll enjoy a few decades of massive production bonuses. [18:32:26] Or perhaps that's what the Industrial Revolution was? [18:32:54] no. It's called 'moore's law' [18:33:31] But Moore's Law only applies to integrated circuit production! [18:33:48] That what they want you to think [18:33:50] And then with the caveat that miniaturization will only be so scaelable. [18:34:42] That would be Smores Law. [18:35:36] actually it applies to things related to ic production [18:35:43] like genetic swquencing [18:36:29] remember how long the human genome project was? now there are a lot more species sequenced in a short time after that [18:37:11] Althego: Unless there are transistors on chromosomes, I don't think so. [18:37:21] well, basically you can apply moore's law to anything that uses computers to solve their problems [18:37:31] not on those. but on the devices used for the mapping [18:38:15] btw, we are now building machines we cannot understand... did we do that in the past? [18:38:18] using moore's law, how long until one transistor approaches the size of a planck length? [18:38:29] hehe [18:38:44] moore's law has beend dead for a decade or so [18:39:03] now it's "more law": more cores [18:39:34] Add More Devices? [18:39:50] more dongles too [18:40:20] that's apple's law? [18:42:17] Althego: I wouldn't go that far. [18:43:47] there is still progress [18:44:03] but we are deviating from that exponential [18:44:17] even intel is on a 3 yars cycle now [18:44:22] year [18:45:08] SWOL: Supercomputing with out linearity. "Those are rookie gains." - Moore's Law [18:45:36] Amusingly, Gordon Moore's predictive date for The Singularity is, "Never". [18:45:47] Scolar_Visari: https://xenonion.com/home/2267/6/19/une-president-accidentally-uploads-mental-state-to-shroud [18:47:46] ve2dmn: Teehee. I much prefer the failed Chosen One event resulting in a hostile psychic blob. [18:49:10] Scolar_Visari: never seen that one [18:49:34] I think Steven Pinker said it best: "Sheer processing power is not a pixie dust that magically solves all your problems." [18:49:58] ve2dmn: It's quite horrifying. Your targeted candidate dies and shortly returns. [18:51:25] I mostly play materialist... so.... [18:52:49] You profane the sacred body with your heresy, robot-loving heretics! [18:53:14] Action: Scolar_Visari selects "Change ideaology" and declares war on the ve2dmn Technocratic Republic [18:53:31] I like the research bonus ¯\_(Ä)_/¯ [18:54:36] what bonus does spiritualist gives? [18:54:44] i love my robots [18:54:52] no heresy in that [18:54:53] Yeah, but I get a sweet unity bonus *and* ethics attraction with my Exalted Priesthood civic [18:55:14] btw what are you talking about? :) [18:55:20] Stellaris [18:55:38] ve2dmn: Unity bonus of 20% and edict cost of -10% for fanatic [18:55:59] Combined with the special unity buildings and a complementary species trait, you can really rack up the ascension traits. [18:56:29] And then there's the Shroud and telepath bonuses. [18:56:32] I did that with fanatic pacifist and the bonus unity for agriculture [18:57:24] Yeah, but pacifists are too busy singing campfire songs to do anything with their productivity bonuses! [18:58:08] My federation rule the galaxy [18:58:35] And the contingency did the cleaning up of free space for me :D [18:59:15] anyway, I'll gonna try a new playstyle soon-ish [18:59:30] But I have real-life issues to solve first [19:04:30] I would think Stellaris is more important, being real-life on a grand 4X scale. [19:06:11] I wish. [19:08:25] So be it, then! [19:08:50] Action: Scolar_Visari nods a tentacle in agitated subservience and grants the wish. [19:11:51] that reminds me, I've not yet tried the New Horizons mod [19:14:31] we hase some 8 months until the next (and last) flyby of the new horizons [19:18:28] Action: UmbralRaptor stares at a support email. [19:18:41] Uh, possible flood [19:19:02] Thanks for letting us know! We were wondering if it is okay if we temporarily log into your account and attempt it ourselves, see if we can't reproduce the issue and figure out what is going on. [19:19:06] UmbralRaptor: Shall I activate the Halo network? [19:19:34] Only 1 line is relevant, so no need. [19:20:36] Action: Scolar_Visari sighs, disappointed once again by the unwilligness of the rest of society to sterilize the Galaxy. [19:21:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:21:16] Evening, Gentlemen. [19:21:25] Eh, planets are self-sterilizing. (Eventually) [19:21:56] We are the Blargh. Resistance is whatever. [19:22:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Distractedman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:23:00] UmbralRaptor: Simply not fast enough. [19:25:37] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to find the Halo Array [19:32:41] good news [19:33:01] linuxgurugamer is reviving AVC [19:38:48] AVC? [19:40:31] Advanced Video Codec [19:45:00] Makes more sense then the AVC I am used to in that context [19:46:52] AVC in french is the acronym for 'a stroke' [19:47:12] so 'reviving a stroke' made very little sense [19:47:28] wasnt avs some mod update mechanism used by some mods in ksp? [19:47:33] *avc [19:47:37] AVC: Active Version Checker [19:47:40] As I know it [19:47:50] probably that [19:47:53] Addon Version Checker. A lightweight plugin that doesn't really do anything but check the versions of your addons. It leaves the updating to yourself. [19:47:54] Mini-AVC is usually bundled with mods to ensure KSP compatibility [19:48:08] Normal AVC is available as an in-game mod manager [19:48:19] Mini-AVC: https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-publique/services/maladies-chroniques/maladie-cardiovasculaire/accident-vasculaire-cerebral/mini.html [19:48:24] Addon Version Checker, yes [19:48:48] (click on the 'english' at the top if you can't read french) [19:48:57] miniAVC is great, unless you mod-it-till-it-breaks. [19:49:50] miniAVC on occasion wastes ten or so minutes of mine because I have to click away the windows of it. :P [19:50:05] Using Zero MiniAVC to prune it right now [19:50:07] hehe [19:50:29] doesn't AVC have an option to just have a small nag at the start screen? [19:50:50] AVC might have it, but Mini AVC does not have options [19:51:45] Yea, I think I used AVC; but I never really trust addon managers. [19:52:34] Is that because of your Kraze? :P [19:52:50] I do use curse... but that's just for like 5 minutes before raidnight to check my WoW addons. [19:53:08] KSP actually has a usable UI :p [20:03:07] I never used Curse [20:06:22] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dozeman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:31:27] ooh, they already made a surviving mars patch [20:31:48] fixing the load savegame bug and some UIs [20:34:20] AVC is just annoying [20:34:27] I use CKAN daily [20:34:56] spams my screen with useless info [20:45:33] Eddi|zuHause: so it is a buy or not? [20:46:49] I did play 70h of 'Planetbase', and while not that perfect, it was an ok experience... is this better? [20:51:50] planetbase was really fiddly with the dome placement [20:52:08] yeah... that bit was annoying [20:52:26] this is definitely a larger scale than planetbase, with lots more long term potential [20:53:43] i have 37h of planetbase, with multiple colony playthroughs, and with surviving mars i have 50h with one playthrough [20:55:48] Alright, as soon as I'm finished with Astroneer, Stellaris, KSP, shadow tactics, Mario Odessey, Mario+Rabbits and Halcyon6... I'll check out surviving mars [20:55:59] By then, the bugs should be mostly patched [20:56:12] that would be somewhat plausible :p [20:56:43] i don't know if you can be "finished" with stellaris, though :p [20:56:53] ok... 'bored' [20:58:00] Forgot about Final 12 [20:58:19] i own too many games. I should just stop [21:13:22] you mean like, stop buying new games, once you're through with your current games they're so far in the past that you can start them again? [21:17:32] a thing that seems a bit odd to me: i only brought like 3 or 4 rockets with people, ever since then i've been so caught up with keeping up with the natural population growth that there was never any free space for new applicants from earth [21:26:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:39:53] that's how you slow down https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/236560222133551104/426495180917440522/20180322214700_1.jpg [21:58:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:10:25] For the truly lazy. https://i.imgur.com/8F6y15p.png [22:16:55] I now just have a manned plane going over Kerbin that's just on autopilot and reading data.
