[02:17:28] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:17:49] scott building lego space shuttle live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwQBy_rANgI [02:41:01] nice lol [02:41:12] was wondering if it was in sealed box in space like that one [03:46:07] hmm, tfr for sunday [04:48:14] wait, what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXG7W7skekw [04:48:19] so will there be a launch or not [04:48:41] open the box and see what the cat is doing? [04:49:03] the launch control system is a cat in the box? [04:49:51] spacex could make a successful landing an a failure in one. maybe they can do a launch and not launch at the same time too [04:50:47] vague schroedinger's cat reference [04:51:07] just as mine [04:51:44] ah [05:09:22] it seems the scott stream is probably coming to an end but i am still more than an hour behind [05:10:48] also: skye grew up. i am getting old [07:05:34] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:24:39] weather looks pretty bad in boca chica today [08:25:12] so maybe no launch after all [08:28:29] rapping zombie [08:31:13] zombanwa [09:11:12] some mars heli stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAlXe-U0ws4 [09:11:21] in more than 6 hours [09:19:33] Althego: depends a bit when they launch. If they do it early in the day weather will be fine [09:19:45] if they have to delay it they might have to scrap it due to lightning [09:19:57] last time they went so early it was still foggy... [09:20:22] most of the time there is no fog in the morning there [09:20:27] sos they could do it [09:20:49] nerdle cam shows a bit of fog. But could be the cam in the darkness. [09:21:35] doesnt look too bad [09:21:47] last time nothing was visible [11:35:54] (local) leet time [11:47:06] Althego, hi [12:23:38] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:30:52] hehe, this is funny. there is a site here that lets you reserve a time for your covid vaccination. around dawn people realized instead of the chinese only (while it was in test run), it started to offer pfizer too. so people effectively made a dos attack on it [12:31:26] the result was, in some places you could get vaccination without a time, so several hundred m long lines formed [13:19:16] Althego: oh, software problems. Just natural, you can't do anything about it. [13:19:22] [13:23:09] in my opinion the site is unusable even in its normal state [13:23:58] i tried to use it but was always stuck at the zip code, because they probably expect you to pick a zip code of a nearby hospital [13:24:10] why not just display its name lol [13:28:23] Althego: the funny thing about this is that 193 countries (and several more states not acknowledged as countries) require the same thing. [13:28:38] And everyone is doing it on their own. And most of them fail [13:28:42] hehe [13:28:53] as if society has never heard of working together to fix a problem faster and better :D [13:29:03] imagine if it was a central system. it would fail centrally :) [13:33:08] hrhr [13:33:34] well, if they could all agree on one system they probably would put it in the "cloud" somewhere, where it is the cheapest [13:33:35] :D [13:34:06] the planning of such system alone would take months [13:34:12] and countless meetings [13:34:15] almost impossible [14:11:45] Althego: Sounds like the Us's Heathercare.gov. they had 3 years and still could not make it work upon completion and had to re-write a good chunk fo teh back end just to get it workign the first year. [14:18:40] let's face it. we took the idea of computers and made them so horrible that they are not only useless but detrimental [14:19:29] if it can't run well on a 6502 or z80, its not worth using. Am I right? Or am I right? [14:19:58] probably [14:20:44] When you consider that initial uses for computers were breaking cryptography and designing nuclear weapons, their cursed nature makes sense [14:21:03] Also consider how often their mechanical predecessors were used for aiming various kinds of guns/artillery [14:21:27] raptop, they should've just hired more poles instead [14:21:32] but it is not even that [14:21:33] heh [14:21:38] you dont need to use them as weapons [14:21:42] and they still harm us [14:21:50] because of our own inability to program them [14:22:14] tangentially related. my favorite video on the Enigma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rekaj8bBWiU [14:22:56] i find it funny that it never coded to the same letter that it was coding for, and that made it susceptible for breaking [14:23:27] it would have been nothing to make it so, but probably they thought it was safer this way [14:24:00] maybe they thought it was a good thing [14:24:02] umaxtu: oh, hey, a drach video [14:24:31] yeah, I recommend his content a lot [14:25:16] is crew-1 coming back? [15:29:56] i have to admit i dont have it what it takes to do the current project discovery in eve [15:30:06] it is some kind of cell clustering thingie [15:30:19] i remember the first one, hthe labeling of internal cell structures, i was great [15:30:35] in this i either add one more region or or add one less [15:30:40] almost never nail the correct number [15:30:48] so my accuracy is barely 60% [15:32:11] ? [15:34:31] looks like it takes a while to close the pad [15:35:06] in eve online, for years now, you can play a minigame, with different sciene project, where you do the job of neural network [15:35:34] it started with cell internal structur labeling [15:35:44] they discovered things [15:35:55] then it was exoplanets [15:35:59] i didnt try that [15:36:08] but in this cell clustering thing i am horrible [15:37:10] this is already going https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAlXe-U0ws4 [15:39:55] i wonder how they get their testing data [15:40:06] if it is completely user generated it may be flawed [15:40:19] maybe the testing data is generated by human experts [15:40:27] i mean they are testig you occassionally [15:40:47] most of the data is for you to do the clustering, done by many people and i guess they average it somehow [15:48:42] anyway, they expect you to do something like this https://images.ctfassets.net/7lhcm73ukv5p/TbBZhLf0TO4uIdFSmUMpp/72967ba9742e65a4dc8de94afaf21b77/how-to-participate-project-discovery-ui.png [15:49:08] for example to me the left center thing proabably wouldnt be there [15:49:20] i would cluster it with probably the bottom one [15:52:25] a typical failure http://warpology.com/x/ifail.png [15:52:55] if you look at it without the lines there seems to be a vague region in the bottom right, so this time i had too many clusters [15:53:15] there is no clear cut way to tell when they want that separate or with an other one [15:53:56] and for most of hte sata they dont know it either [15:54:53] Action: raptop can sort of see the bottom left, but I'm confused on the bottom right [15:55:16] i was too [15:55:37] according to them that is part of the bottom left [15:55:50] but there is a part where there are no dost, so i thought it was separate [15:57:36] http://warpology.com/x/ifail2.png [15:57:41] how is that 2? [15:57:50] there are like 10 blue dots there [16:00:12] o_O [16:33:24] i somehow went up to 77% and level 10. but this is enough for me [16:53:29] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:01:39] kikkerikii [17:05:03] birb [17:07:43] börps [17:10:11] it was surprising that they expect this rover to move even faster than the previous [17:10:35] so basically the heli really wouldnt be able to keep up with it [17:11:26] also that it did so well, that basically they achieved their goals in 3 flights [17:23:04] and the bird brain strikes again [17:34:53] Action: raptop would assume that bird brain would make one very good at flight sims [17:57:55] scrub? [17:58:44] closure cancelled [17:58:57] as usual, it is never on friday [18:18:02] :( [18:18:04] so next week [18:18:10] they never fly on weekends [18:55:02] crew-1 depart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpWRW8rmhxs [18:59:46] wen drop? [19:00:50] hehe [19:01:23] if they really depart now, maybe in the next gew hours [19:12:25] hwhw live in 26 hours [19:12:27] also delayed [19:16:30] hrhr [19:16:41] weather? [19:18:02] https://twitter.com/sn15_FTS lolwut? [19:18:20] lol [19:19:36] wait, what? https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1388200058491789315 [19:19:46] wasnt it so that it didnt fly? [19:20:02] i think i love the color hazcams [19:24:09] my brain cant interpret this gif https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1388188337014333441 [19:26:19] is that the shadow? [19:26:23] yes [19:26:28] but why is it moving? [19:26:35] maybe as the heli is tilted [19:26:43] i can see some shift in the surface [19:27:37] must be annoying that the algorithm constantly needs to check for the shadow and eliminate that from the tracked features [19:28:05] why would it have to? [19:28:33] if there's the shadow the feature is not to be seen and therefore ignored. [19:28:52] the shadow might look like a feature [19:38:12] oh no tako in nier, but i am going to sleep soon [19:46:38] oh i forgot about flat earth friday [19:47:39] that's a cursed friday meme [19:48:15] no, that is one of scimandan's weekly videos [19:48:24] the other is tinfoil tuesday [20:16:02] lol [20:18:19] oh no a nile red video [20:23:01] will the first starship to mars have flying exploration drones on it? [20:23:28] at least now that is a possibility. but i doubt anybody is planning that far ahead [20:24:36] they should release a swarm to figure out where to build a colony [20:25:08] i think we have pretty good maps of mars already [20:25:24] at some point they were better than mun maps [20:25:28] er moon [20:31:14] All hail MRO [20:31:37] (...though I guess for wider angle maps and altimetry, MGS needs to be mentioned) [20:36:08] also obviously landing sites would be imaged with high resolution, say the hirise [20:36:54] and whatever china has on their orbiter [20:37:17] hirise is not exactly new, but still a powerful telescope [20:37:28] so probably not better than that [20:37:56] wait, it is almost may [20:38:07] when is the landing happening? [20:38:14] i think it was suppoesd to be may [20:38:46] High-Resolution Camera (HRC) with a resolution of 2 m from a 400 km orbit [20:38:55] that is pretty good [21:42:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:21:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:53:27] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
