@TanMath Chat transcripts are public information; DS could have found it on his own anyways.

@mods: Because of fat-fingers on mobile, I accidentally flagged a post as something offensive whilst trying to vote to close. Just figured I'd explain that one since you'll see it come up.

@KyleKanos I felt that you put a bad impression of me...

Well we could just as easily say you made a bad impression of you elsewhen.

@KyleKanos when?

@TanMath February

@KyleKanos give me a link

Well I provided one response from Mark above, so probably around then is a good indicator

@KyleKanos so what you think of the debate last night?

Too many people

Carson & Huckabee barely got any time

what was up with that god question at the end

@KyleKanos is that par for the course in Rep debates? this is the first one I've watched

@0celo7 IDK, it was odd

@KyleKanos and it was not directed at every candidate, was it?

@0celo7 Well Trump flared it up some, but that's more or less the point of the debates

@0celo7 I thought that was the case too

@KyleKanos was the whole "I won't pledge" thing at the beginning his way of telling the RNC they'd better support him or the party will be screwed?

He's said elsewhen that he wouldn't rule out a 3rd party candidacy, even though it would necessitate a Democrat victory (cf. Clinton vs Bush vs Perot in '92)

@KyleKanos exactly

so does the RNC have any other choice than to support him?

@0celo7 I'd rather him not show up as 3rd party

But I'm not sure he's quite qualified to be President

I do wonder if the God question was in relation to the completely fake image of Ted Cruz roaming the internet claiming that there's "no place for gays or atheists in my America"

@KyleKanos whaaat

Another one of the many lies invented by hateful liberals ::shrug::

@KyleKanos do you watch the Dem debates as well?

I'm kinda curious to see Bernie vs Hillary on things, but I probably will miss out on it

@KyleKanos Mike at Freedomain Radio (AnCap/Voluntarist podcast) say Trump would be refreshing in the sense that he's actually a competent human being

compared to the other frontrunners, who are big government through and through

It's refreshing because he doesn't care what other people think about him, he does what we wants. That's also somewhat dangerous because he'll act that way as POTUS & is likely to offend our allies as well as our enemies

@KyleKanos that too, "he doesn't get a focus group together before he says something"

lol UTK sent out an email saying there is no mechanism in place for turning in the essays late

people are fucked

today was a good modding day, +2GB to my Skyrim file

When was it officially due?

noon today

that course is a graduation requirement

Sucks for whoever didn't turn it in

::downloads more mods::

help me...

I'm approaching 80 plugins, god knows how many texture and mesh mods

@KyleKanos Europe is offended by Trump's existence already! Please don't rub it in our faces ;)

@0celo7 You'll end up with a perfect game, that you'll never play :P

Anyone here?

yeah

"for this reason, Einstein urged in 1913 astronomers (E. Freundlich in Potsdam) to measure the light deflection during the solar eclipse the coming year in the Crimea. Shortly before the event the first world war broke out. Over night, Freundlich and his German colleagues were captured as prisoners of war and tit took another five years before the light deflection was observed."

Damn you Einstein!

Einstein? He didn't capture them lol

it is quite amusing

Good mornin', $\hbar$.

@Phonon: How are you? Still overworked?

Hello

@ACuriousMind you seem awfully cheery...holy shit you got your code to work?

@0celo7 Nope, deadline has passed and it still doesn't work correctly :/

...damn, what did you do

@0celo7 Well, I just sent it to them together with descriptions of what I did to figure out where it goes wrong, and how I didn't find anything :D

:(

The next step would've been just writing it from scratch again, but I was not that invested in the thing

was it just a pass/fail class?

@0celo7 Aye. No idea if I passed or failed yet

on a happier note

Also, "good mornin'" is awfully cheery?

I finally got a female body replacer that works and completely replaced every armor texture and mesh in the game

Skyrim is no longer SFW I'm afraid

although I did try my best

some of those armor replacers are just thongs and armored bras

Not sure this even deserves Picard's attention :P

What's the black dot on his chin supposed to be, anyway?

@ACuriousMind A dimple, I presume

@KyleKanos cf. e.g.

If we had any doubts of it before now, we can confirm that you are definitely 15

I didn't get that one

@KyleKanos Ok well then I'm a 15 year old in college, so that's nice

So you claim

@KyleKanos I have my admissions certificate here

@0celo7 Not so nice, you aren't even allowed to drink, then. Oh, wait...

@ACuriousMind ...low blow

@KyleKanos if I were 15, I'd get the panty mod

Nude mods and such are fun for 5 minutes but they get old if you do a whole playthrough with them

@0celo7 That one says "adult-only content".

then we will have to call the police, @0celo7

@ACuriousMind I look at it this way: I'm allowed to see nudity in GTA, a 17+ game, so this stuff is 17+

We will tell them you peruse adult things

@Slereah oh shit I just noticed it's my birthday

Like Hawking-Ellis

lol that panty mod literally replaces all female armor with panties

@0celo7 How the hell did they come up with 17? Nothing else happens at 17, does it?

@ACuriousMind ESRB rated M for mature = 17+

same with rated R movies

I know that's the rating, I just wonder who thought 17 was a good demarcation. It's not the usual threshhold for adult things

(not saying the other ages make more sense)

17 is the age of consent in some countries?

The limit of adulthood varies a lot for various things

not here

It's unfortunate that such mods are for adults because it seems like the thing that would mostly please teenagers :p

"huhuhuh u can see bums"

yeah, I'm having to download underwear textures now because having naked people is not that great

I wanted to make the females look better, not naked

sheesh

::sigh:: why would women have Victoria's Secret lingerie on in combat

these mod authors are like 15

"I'm having to download underwear textures" is the epitome of modding gone wrong.

You have a problem.

@ACuriousMind well yes because UNP is nude by default!

it's ridiculous

@ACuriousMind eh, not gonna argue that

did most people even have lingerie in the medieval era

Skyrim is Viking, Oblivion is medieval

@Slereah Sounds like a job for history.SE

There is actually a book I want to buy

About all clothing fashions throughout history

you buy too many books

as opposed to?

figure out why this texture mod doesn't work

aha for some reason it works now

praise jesus

@0celo7 Well the Nords are native to Skyrim, but are available as a playable character in Oblivion as well (IIRC)

@KyleKanos correct

I'm saying the styles of the games are different

Perhaps due to the land you are playing in, so the same could be said of TES3 vs TES4

Yeah, Morrowind isn't medieval, it's just weird :D

It's Dunmer

going at 1000% of vanilla speed breaks the game

huh

@KyleKanos ?

The dark elves are the Dunmer, what are you trying to say?

are you dunmerist @KyleKanos ?

@ACuriousMind Well it's not medieval or Norse, so I said it was Dunmer

Ah, I see. Not sure that's an adjective, though

Look, if Bill Shakespeare can make up words, so can I

englishclub.com/grammar/nouns-adjective.htm

nouns can be used as adjectives

and vice versa

but not versa vice

;-)

lol

@skillpatrol: AlecTeal was busted. :(

Chat is moving to Colorado?

"Chat will be moving to Colorado"...wat

I guess SE is changing server. ::A glitch in the matrix::

huh

crap, the underwear textures have crashed Skyrim 6 times and caused 2 infinite loading screens

@Huy what happened?

who is AlecTeal

he a reg in the math room

@skillpatrol: Don't you see what ToolPurger wrote earlier ?

What did he get busted for?

@Huy nope

@KyleKanos he tried to take on a mod and got the room frozen

Oh, so not busted in the legal sense but in the SE sense?

@KyleKanos: There was some drama the other day in maths chat and AlecTeal and his "friend" ToolPurger were against the rest of the world and at some point Alec was off and the other guy kept defending him heroically, and a lot of people suspected it's actually just another of Alec's accounts. And some guy just showed some more proof that it must be his account and now ToolPurger says "fuck it I'm done here how do I delete my account" in utter bitterness.

Now it seems he DDoSed the homepage of the guy who busted him and is showing it off.

you gotta like how you can create your own "friends" to defend you on the internet :-/

Love is a strong word, @skillpatrol. :)

@Huy better?

As you wish.

wtf is wrong with the site?

nvm

Stack Exchange is going the rocky mountain way

Aye

@Huy Whuut?

@Danu: Not sure, but it seems like it.

@Danu: Want a cool (imo) algebra exercise?

It's very chess-related.

:P

@Huy Probably not, but you can tell me what it is!

I got the good ole' hangover today

@Huy Whose homepage?

@Danu: You know how in chess I can show you a board with some pieces on it and you can probably tell whether this current state is a possible state within the game or whether it isn't?

Sure

@Danu "good" and "hangover" do not fit together

@ACuriousMind These days are always interesting

@Danu You have a weird idea of "interesting" :D

@Huy Lemme finish my chess game. Naively, I wanna say yes.

@Danu: If you think so, try to find a way so get there.

If you change your mind, try to prove why.

@ACuriousMind Do you think Skyrim has a limit to how much crap you can put on it? I just downloaded another gigabyte-sized armor mod and the game won't load any more.

@0celo7 Possibly, but I don't know

I'll try manual installation, perhaps NMM is messing up.

@Huy Hmm, okay so I guess it probably can't work

@Danu: Do you want to know whether it works or not before you try to find a way to prove either?

It should just be some property of the permutations (evenness, oddness)

I think

One should just try to do it without messing with the "other blocks" too much

@Danu: You can do something with permutations, yes.

So working only with what seems to be relevant, I quickly arrive at

you need this order of the 14,15

but now you're stuck

so I guess it can't work

Only if there is a really complicated one where you mess with errrrrything

^^

That wouldn't be a cool exercise then though would it.

It's really not so bad to do it more algebraically either

the rules are simple enough to see hwat permutations are allowed

maybe if I'm lucky they're all even permutations

and then you're done

or rather

"any useful move" must be even or something

I'm too hung over/tired now

:)

But don't spoil it for me :D

Ok. It's not too difficult, but also not completely trivial imo, and a nice algebra exercise that isn't very standard.

@Danu: I sometimes get bored just solving standard exercises so I like ones which are understandable for everyone but much easier to solve if you have some mathematical tools. For example cool maths puzzles from a big MO question, if you've seen that one.

@Huy Linklinklink?

@Danu: mathoverflow.net/questions/29323/math-puzzles-for-dinner Even with some solutions, encrypted. :D

Thanks.

So anyway

Do we know if the equations of the standard model are like

Well behaved

Do they have unique solutions

You mean the equations of motion?

Why should we care? In QFT one does not solve equations of motion, that's more classical business afaik

Well that and the time evolution of quantum fields

Like from some boundary conditions of the wavefunction, are we guaranteed a unique evolution

Hmm, right, I would guess so, but I don't know

I wonder if that is linked to like

Unitarity of time evolution

@Huy are reflections CPU intensive as well as GPU? I'm only hitting 80% GPU usage in GTA 5 when I put on ultra reflections but my fps is not where it should be

@0celo7: Depends on the implementation I'd say, but I think more often it would be more intensive for the GPU than CPU.

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1438111963206.webm

@Huy I'm also getting random fps drops to around 20...I'm thinking loading stutter because there are no corresponding GPU spikes

driving fast cars in GTA5 is a good way to make shit load fast I guess

@0celo7: I'm sorry but I can't really help because I didn't have these problems so far, so no idea what could cause the sudden fps drops.

@0celo7: I'm sure you have some software to track your CPU performance as well?

@Huy yes but there's 8 cores and none are maxxed out

the in-game benchmarks = lies

real benchmark = drive through the city at night in the rain in the fastest car

Please don't try this IRL.

ever since I started playing on "PC" and worried about fps, I've sometimes woken up on the train or whatever and thought "holy shit this is amazing fps"

then I realize it's not a game

time to turn on motion blur: RIP R9 370X

wow 16X anisotropic filtering actually makes the lines on the roads render on time!

The move to Colorado seems to be taking some time

they got chat up and running pretty fast

@Huy what I've been playing on and what I could have been playing on

AF + HD shaders = wow

@0celo7: I prefer riding bikes. :P

@0celo7: Makes me feel much more hardcore to escape 4-star manhunt on a bike.

@Huy look at the street and the sidewalk

@0celo7: Yeah, I see.

motion blur gives me random fps drops, no clue why

@ACuriousMind hey, not too bad thanks for asking, yep it ll probably stay the same for the rest of this summer, I'm working on 2 different projects atm and in september I have to choose one of them as my master thesis topic, so the more I get done now, the better I ll be able to decide which one I really wanna work on for a whole year. How about yourself? Enjoying the time off?

@Huy is DX12 out?

wait is DX only for Nvidia cards?

ohh you need Windows 10?

Hey neat

Found a document that discusses coherent states in interacting WFT

QFT

It approximates the in and out states as lil wavepackets

@0celo7: Yeah it's on Win10.

@0celo7: I doubt it's Nvidia only though?

"did most people even have lingerie in the medieval era"

...what the fuck did I miss

@0celo7 I need help, do you have time later today?

@Slereah Peskin has a very detailed chapter on using wave-packets to describe in and out states; you could also check that out

chapter 4

@KyleKanos Heard of this?

@alarge I have not, but reading more

I have been looking for an answer to this question:

Could anybody help me?

@TanMath Have you considered creating a bounty?

@obe with?

@FenderLesPaul Skyrim modding

@KyleKanos I don't want to... that will be my last last resort...

Well the point of bounties is to attract attention to the post. So if your "last resort" is to use the designed system mechanics, what are your other "first resorts" here?

@KyleKanos I don't like bounties... they cut off your hard-earned reputation, just for a question.. I would be fine if the bountie were only worth 10-15 reputation but 50 reputation is too much...

@KyleKanos keep posting it on chat so anybody could see... or keep editing the question, so it will come to the front page of physics.SE as an active question...

@0celo7 QM. skype.

@TanMath This is basically exactly why you got your "bad reputation" in the first place: It doesn't matter what you SE rep is, most regular users in the chat probably still remember you pestering them. What are you saving your SE rep anyway if not to use it in a bounty?

Can one define the orthogonal matrices by $\det(oXo^T)=\det X $ wher $o$ is an orthogonal matrix and $X$ an arbitrary one?

@alarge fine.. but what is the guarantee that I will get answers, I don't want my rep being lost for no reason...

@TanMath There is no guarantee. I've used ~250 points and never got an answer. I am not worried about spending imaginary currency though.

I recently used up 50 on Meta.SE and never got an answer

I concur with alarge that it's not really worth worrying about fake internet points

(My Meta.SE acct has about 200 rep right now, I posted the bounty when I had 220 rep)

@ACuriousMind does killing the high overseer count towards the overall kill count? (Dishonored)

@0celo7 Why don't you just google it?

@Danu lack of intelligence

Evidently!

Looking for lecture notes on QM. [at advanced undergrad - grad level]

Landau Lifschitz?

I read the first chapter and it doesn't work for my purpose.

What is your purpose

To learn all of it in <30 days.

;<

Shankar

Condensed/abridged.

Forget about it, I have to hurry. Bye.

Read every other page

Or maybe every 2nd or 3rd page

@Phonon I see, well, good luck with your projects! I'm enjoying my free time very much (procrastinating actually deciding my own master's topic :D )!

@0celo7 AFAIK, all kills count, but I'm no expert on dishonored

@obe I would post the ones from one of my favourite lecturers, but you don't read German, do you?

@ACuriousMind I thought my first real mission would be kill free - turns out hiding an unconscious person in a river kills them :/

overall chaos is still "low"

@0celo7 Well, duh ;)

Now I'm considering replaying Dishonored, it's been a while...

wtf bitch I saved your uncle!

I had to reload like 5 times to save him!

grrr

I got Bethesda'd

@obe I used Gasiorowicz for my first course in QM. It's quite short. May be too easy?

@0celo7 That's not a word

oh my god I have to grade other people's responses to the book

lol this picture is shit hehe

@0celo7 How do you grade other people's emotional responses? Do we grade emotions now?

@0celo7 I think only people with a PhD (and Shakespeare) are allowed to make words up ;)

@ACuriousMind "thoughtfulness" "overall quality" "uniqueness"

this person drew...something

@0celo7 "uniqueness"? My emotional response needs to be unique? It needs to have quality? What kind of weird thinking is this?!

My emotional responses generally are rather low in quality, I think :D

@ACuriousMind well if you write an essay and every other word is misspelled

@ACuriousMind agreed

@0celo7 That's certainly very unique!

IDK what the fuck this picture means

Also very unique, then!

I'd probably get shot for posting it though

this looks like a 3rd grader did it tbh

@ACuriousMind the squad

@0celo7 Is that...a fox's head on the shoulder of the left one?

@0celo7 Perhaps this person did just not take the assignment very seriously? :D

@ACuriousMind yes

Very fashionable

@ACuriousMind well the book is about a mentally challenged girl, so...

@ACuriousMind my thinking: fox $\cong$ Einstein the cat

Oh, you want to play "Choose the right category" again? :)

ok fine, let's do this differently

define the naural topology on the space of animals and establish a suitable definition of "close"; then Einstein the cat and that fox are close in said topology

then construct a fiber bundle with Skyrim the base space

the projection into Skyrim is not injective: both Einstein the cat and the fox have the same projection

@ACuriousMind what'ya have to say about that?

@0celo7 I like it

What's not to like?

it's probably nonsense rigorously

I never really defined the topology and didn't show it always exists

Ah, that's work for some poor grad student in the future

I didn't show this leading to them having the same projection

what the heck are the open sets in biology?

They're the sets that are not closed ;-)

@skullpatrol That's exactly what an open set is not :P

:D

Btw, that was an excellent choice of videos for that symmetry question, that's on hold @ACuriousMind

videos? symmetry question?

also this is pretty amazing trolling

@obe Landau is like the most condensed version you can get
