Then you'd learn about Stone's theorem in functional analysis.

Hi peeps.

Mithrandir24601

@heather I'll be simulating it on an 8 qubit photonic chip. As it's photonic, we've got loss, making it non-hermitian, but the answer to your question is yes irrespective of that, but it's not a completely trivial thing [read: my supervisor wrote a paper which is getting published soon, so I have to 'subtly' avoid actually answering that :P ]

Avantgarde

@skullpatrol Hey!

Mithrandir24601

(it's probably more technical than just being 'non-hermitian', but anyway)

It's now after 1am, so I really ought to go to bed now. If you've got any other questions, feel free to message me here, or wait for my AMA, probably coming soon

heather

okay, thank you so much! I look forward to further discussion =)

@heather what are the chances this mod worked?

heather

@0celoñe7 slim

0celoñe7

@heather nods

In an unfortunate turn of events, I seem to have deleted my skin.

heather

that sounds bad.

0celoñe7

Not completely sure what happened there.

Or how to get it back.

heather

an epidermis is kind of important for keeping your internal organs and the outside world separate.

12:16 AM

@heather Ah, the whole body is gone

the feet, hands, head and underwear are just floating

@heather I am trying to manually edit armor

It's not working out well

How's the core temp?

41C right now

Not good.

12:20 AM

@skullpatrol What?

@skullpatrol nonsense

@heather See, I did delete the skin but I had a good reason :P

How to put it back is a very good question though

@SevenSidedDie did someone get flagged?

wonder what happens if I ignore the reference and just go for it

worth a try

maybe I will at least have skin then

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 YES. EVERYONE. *flamethrowers* … Naw, it's just in my Favourites list, so I auto-join when I reopen chat.

Sunny side up, please.

SevenSidedDie

@skullpatrol I was more picturing marshmallows for some reason.

heather

12:30 AM

i'm looking at some notes on topology, and it defines a topology on a set $X$ as a set of subsets of $X$ $\tau$ where $X, \o \in \tau$ and the union of any two sets in $\tau$ is also in $\tau$ and where the intersection of any two sets in $\tau$ is also in $\tau$.

skullpatrol

Yeah, me too. @SevenSidedDie but I couldn't come up with anything for marshmallows.

0celoñe7

You need a union of arbitrary number of sets.

heather

does that basically mean that $\tau$ is closed under the operations $\cup$ and $\cap$?

0celoñe7

belly laugh IT WORKS

heather

@0celoñe7 you have skin now?

0celoñe7

12:32 AM

Yes and what I wanted to do works

@heather well...maybe

One sec

@heather So I'm trying to improve the fit of some clothes in Skyrim

@skullpatrol please don't comment about things you clearly don't know about

@heather so I'm trying to change the fit of clothes, which involves editing meshes, which are basically the wireframes on which the textures are displayed

Now I'm using some mods which are apparently not compatible, so I have to do some hacks

skullpatrol

just trying to help

0celoñe7

To get it to work, I have to load in a reference body, then hide it, then work on the mesh

Now the mesh has another body with it, so there were two bodies

I deleted one of course, because that seemed logical

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 Oh fun. Also “fun” — it's notoriously easy to break Bethesda meshes. But fun, if you can find the magic process that makes them not die. It sounds like you've already got farther along than I ever managed to.

heather

in Mathematics, 1 min ago, by heather

is $\emptyset\cup\{a\} = \{a,\{\emptyset\}\}$?

0celoñe7

Turns out I have to fit the clothes to one body and leave the other body in the background

you need the other body to control the weight sliders, basically how the clothes fit on heavier/skinnier characters

I deleted one of the bodies, the one that was giving me skin

so I put that back, and it now seems to work

I just have to fix all of the stuff I broke now :P

@SevenSidedDie I tried to do this two or so years ago and gave up

it randomly occurred to me the other day to try again and I think I figured it out

I need to completely redownload my meshes.

@SevenSidedDie oh and for some reason there's a mod conflict and the mesh editor loads astrid's burnt naked corpse as the default skin

@0celoñe7 So Michelle goes to TN when you're in VA?

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 NetImmerse-related bugs/weirdness never ceases to amaze me.

Bernardo Meurer

Or does that mean she just goes to VA?

Today I learned about GPU overclocking on Linux

It's no fun

While being extremely fun at the same time!

0celoñe7

@BernardoMeurer she's coming to VA

Bernardo Meurer

@0celoñe7 Dope

She's not answering my texts today

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie I really don't know what's going on with it

Bernardo Meurer

12:43 AM

nor yesterday

0celoñe7

The game loads the textures just fine

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 Probably some kind of paths thing related to packed versus loose files. I always unpack all my BSAs when I start fiddling with meshes so that everything loads in external tools right, but that's a whole little project on its own.

Well, not always. I usually just get annoyed at missing resources for a while, and then I give in and unpack all the BSAs.

skullpatrol

What's your core temp @SevenSidedDie when you play?

...and what do you set your fan speed at.

SevenSidedDie

@skullpatrol I couldn't say… It's been a while since I started up Skyrim. (Ironically, having it all modded to heck means that when there's an update, there's anti-motivation to play because it just means a bunch of broken things to fix first. I love mods, but they're my curse.)

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie I'm not using the default textures at all -- for anything.

That might be an overstatement.

But certainly not for bodies.

It's getting that texture from some mod.

SevenSidedDie

12:57 AM

@0celoñe7 That's a good point. Which makes it even weirder to work differently in-game and out-.

@SevenSidedDie aaaaand now I'm getting clipping during jump animations

Sir Cumference

I spent several hours trying to get LaTeX working on my new computer

Just now found out that Word has a crappy (but faster for my needs) equation system

0celoñe7

@SirCumference there's a reason why the world runs on Word, not latex

use word

HDE 226868

@SirCumference Been there, tried that. It gets really disappointing really quickly. Great for high school lab reports, less great for everything else.

skullpatrol

High school lab reports have a higher demand curve.

SevenSidedDie

1:35 AM

@0celoñe7 Like, self-clipping? Augh. The trouble with tweaking meshes is that they also have to work with the animations, which (AFAIK, haven't done it) takes just exhaustive testing and re-tweaking.

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie Clipping with the body, which I don't understand.

I didn't even change that part of the mesh and somehow it broke

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 Something something animation bones.

0celoñe7

Only thing I can do is make the mesh bigger, but it already fits perfectly

@SevenSidedDie Right. I think I have to edit the bones

So there are two things I can do

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 Or maybe the wrong bones were loaded? I dunno, this is way beyond what I ever managed to figure out. I just know about enough of it to know how little I know and have a vague idea of what can go mysteriously wrong.

0celoñe7

1:50 AM

@SevenSidedDie Well...I just used the default options when applying the bone settings to the mesh. I think there's settings I need to explore

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 IIRC, when I've messed with animations in the past, defaults tended to not be what the game expected, so yeah, that might be a rich field to explore…

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie I'm doing some slight changes to existing meshes that work fine -- mostly.

I wonder if I can get away with not updating the bones at all.

@SevenSidedDie Hah! That fixed it!

SevenSidedDie

2:12 AM

@0celoñe7 Black magic. Congrats!

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie Now to try to edit a little more and pray I don't crash the game :)

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 Make backups of the working meshes!

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie What worked was just deleting a mesh. The mage clothes have a stupid fanny pack I deleted

Easy to fix

Now I'm trying to fit the...torso better. There's weird air pockets that can be eliminated.

At this point I just want to see if I can even do it

SevenSidedDie

@0celoñe7 I've done that in NifSkope before without chaos. That sort of thing tends to be easy. Blender edits are a whole different ballgame.

0celoñe7

@SevenSidedDie It works :)

Removed the bag, successfully straightened the clothing and smoothed it

Now I can finally play this basted game
