@EmilioPisanty I think he means the mouth as the open end of the tube and the lungs as the closed end. What I think he is asking is how we make sound ie talk with that structure

0celo7

@KyleKanos the gunk was in the keyboard itself, right under the f key

gonenc

but the answer to why we are a half open tube is simply evolution imo

0celo7

9:10 PM

I ended up having to put in the key, push it a dozen time, take it out, clean it, etc.

I could not get to the last bit of gunk

@KyleKanos wtf is NB? Nebenbei?

Nota Bene = Note Well

0celo7

I see, thanks.

Kyle Kanos

Nota bene

Nota bene (/ˈnoʊtɑːˈbɛnɛ/; plural form notate bene) is an Italian and Latin phrase meaning "note well". The phrase first appeared in writing circa 1721. Often abbreviated as "N.B.", "N.b." or "n.b.", nota bene comes from the Latin roots notāre ("to note") and bene ("well"). It is in the singular imperative mood, instructing one individual to note well the matter at hand. In present-day English, it is used, particularly in legal papers, to draw the attention of the reader to a certain (side) aspect or detail of the subject on hand, translating it as "pay attention" or "take notice". While "N.B....

Integer to which precision? — Qmechanic ♦ 22 mins ago

I believe he would

0celo7

@ACuriousMind He hugged me when I left :( he was such a cool guy

Aww now you made me sad

ACuriousMind

9:13 PM

:(

0celo7

@KyleKanos I don't see the issue.

Kyle Kanos

I had to think for a few minutes about that

0celo7

10001 is more precise than 10000, both are integers.

Assume the answer is 10001.345.

Is that wrong?

Kyle Kanos

Remember, I am a "see-ess guy" so my thoughts are about floats

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 I would feel bad for that, but, well, feelings:

Flagging?

Earn it buddy

@0celo7 :(

I'm not a spider.

lol

You've only got like 7k rep to go

0celo7

@ACuriousMind Is disappointment an emotion? Can psychopaths feel disappointment?

ACuriousMind

9:18 PM

@0celo7 Well, I think they feel disappointment when their plans go wrong, or something.

I don't know, my plans never went wrong ;)

0celo7

oh god

He planned all of this

ACuriousMind

Bwahahahahaha

0celo7

Physikerreich when?

All engineers are to be shot with proton accelerators

HDE 226868

@ACuriousMind What about high-functioning sociopaths?

0celo7

All liberal arts majors are to be enslaved

All math majors are to be enslaved and will work on physics math

oh the horror

ACuriousMind

9:20 PM

@0celo7 No, they're useful slaves. Unlike the liberal arts majors.

user54412

Huh? I thought we needed liberal arts majors to make us coffee.

ACuriousMind

Only until the engineers have built robots that make us coffee.

0celo7

tfw I'm going to be a coffee robot builder

I'm only through the second module of this crap

Freaking PSE chat distracting me

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 A nuclear coffee robot builder!

0celo7

@ACuriousMind Now with 15% less alpha rays!

HDE 226868

9:25 PM

@0celo7 Can it make tea, too, or do I need a Nutri-Matic to do that?

0celo7

@HDE226868 Just drink a Nuka Cola.

I'm not even an adult.

Slereah

then why are you reading HE

sounds like a poor decision for a child

ACuriousMind

@Slereah Is that an adult book?

Slereah

It's the adultest

0celo7

HE has some index porn in it alright

ACuriousMind

9:28 PM

Perhaps only sold in the dark corners of book stores?

Slereah

I mean all teens want to see boobies

But who wants to see topology

HDE 226868

Wow, I love stereotypes!

2

Topology is cool.

0celo7

topology is shit

I mean, it's not even calculus

HDE 226868

. . . nobody got the Dr. Who reference?

0celo7

you're the biggest nerd in here

HDE 226868

9:29 PM

Yep.

ACuriousMind

Debatable. :P

Slereah

(neeeerd)

0celo7

since topology does not use calculus a high schooler can do it

I mean c'mon

anything that does not use calculus is just algebra, right?

Slereah

pretty much

I mean topology is like

0celo7

yeah, and no one likes algebra

HDE 226868

9:30 PM

Hey, this high schooler's doing multivariable senior year! Back off. :P

Slereah

Drawing potatoes around points

Not hard

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 "just"

0celo7

QED no one likes HE

HDE 226868

@0celo7 I dare you to make a remark about algebra in the math chat room.

0celo7

@HDE226868 watch

ACuriousMind

9:31 PM

You may call that "just" after you've read through something like Hartshorne for me ;)

Slereah

if you want to see the best math in all physics papers

HDE 226868

I'll wait for the flags.

0celo7

how do I get to math chat?

Slereah

I would recommend the Stuperspace paper

freeboson.org/stuperspace.pdf

It is the best

HDE 226868

@0celo7 If you knew topology, maybe you could find a path there, because chat is pretty simply connected. . .

0celo7

9:32 PM

hah

HDE 226868

Actually, it isn't, come to think of it. Is it?

How could I prove that . . . ?

0celo7

no clue

ACuriousMind

My favourite connectedness joke (yes, that's a thing!) (yes, 0celo7, it is what you probably think).

0celo7

what should I say

@ACuriousMind :D I'm getting good at this

Slereah

"We use the following notation : Greek letters for vile spinor indices, Roman letters for isospin indices, Cyrillic letters for vector indices, Hebrew letters for 10-dimensional vector indices, Roman numerals for Dirac spinor indices"

It is my favorite index joke of all times

0celo7

9:34 PM

index joke?

Slereah

"Also, we use the metric (+--+-+++--+-+x=→←/⊕⊗--)."

It is the only metric convention I use

0celo7

>Reaganomic symmetry

@Slereah srs, I don't get the index joke

ACuriousMind

I also like this obscure joke.

HDE 226868

@ACuriousMind Haha.

Slereah

my favorite AG joke is probably

2

"Using superfields, the calculation is trivial, so we will just quote the result:

Γ = ☎-1ΨΨ̄,

where ☎ is the telephone operator."

snort

ACuriousMind

9:39 PM

@Slereah Not sure that's a joke ;)

Slereah

that entire paper is great

0celo7

@Slereah is that funny or is the next line funny

Slereah

" Quark Kent, Faddeev-Popov ghosts in the Phantom Zone using the Metropolis algorithm, Krypton J. Phys. 137 (1938) 777."

The bibliography is alos great

Argh

Typewriter paper

I hate those so much

ACuriousMind

Damn, that scan seems to be incomplete.

I. Nonabel, Semisimple groups (A & P, New York, 1856).

Ah, so that is where Nonabelian comes from!

(dohoho)

@HDE226868 found the math chat

What should I say about algebra?

ACuriousMind

Nothing, they don't understand fun as we do here, cf. recent starred messages here

0celo7

9:46 PM

@ACuriousMind I shall try

"Since abstract algebra does not use calculus (by definition) and people learn calculus in high school, can't middle schoolers learn abstract algebra? Remind me why you guys need PhDs in this stuff?"

HDE 226868

@0celo7 I'll wait for them to flag your posts as offensive. . . :-)

ACuriousMind

Does this mean OP actually came here before reading Wikipedia? Not sure if I'm angry or flattered.

Are they trying to profile potential criminals in the student body?

Mr. Kanos, I was just reading the posting "Induced Voltage By Dropped Magnet" in Physics Stack Exchange. I note that the author's note has been put on hold. If you follow that author's link, you will find that he is asking for help on his college lab report.

Slereah

in the real world you go talk to the waiters

ACuriousMind

@DavidWhite The @ (and linking) works in chat just like on the main site, so you should write @KyleKanos to get Kyle's attention.

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 Sounds likely.

David White

Thanks

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 What do they pretend this is for?

0celo7

@ACuriousMind The school needs to improve freshman retention to boost rankings.

This is supposed to make us feel better/secure/some bullshit.

Personally I blame the poor state high schools for the dropout rate. I'd have to see data sorted by student home state to verify this of course.

David White

@ACuriousMind, et. al., you are speaking EXACTLY to my point. I am a high school physics teacher who is trying mightily to also teach good study habits to my students.

Slereah

The weird thing about the stuperspace paper is that it was published in a real journal

0celo7

Also a whole fuckload of LGBT/diversity stuff. I guess rural Tennessians don't like that stuff.

and it wasn't even april 1st
