The worst part is that they almost had an idea here. Like, if all the lines had been a solid colour you might start running into shades that are hard to distinguish for some, but with a two colour gradient you get a few more options as you're now using all combinations of distinguishable colours. If you stare at the graph a bit you can say, oh right this one is yellow to blue and this one is blue to yellow so they're this one and that one, and so gradually extract some kind of data from it. Now, they could have just used some dotted lines and/or labelled the lines directly or something and had a graph that didn't require close study to get basic conclusions, and indeed they absolutely should have done that oh god, but its theoretically possible they meant well.

I had to drive 60 or 70 miles to get into the path of totality on a perfectly cloudless day, I found the perfect rural spot to watch it alone....only to realize right as it peaked that I'd miscalculated and was just a couple of miles outside the true totality path. I saw everything except for the corona, and It was still one of the coolest things I've seen, but to get that close and then just screw it up....

For the Europeans, both in 2026 and 2027 there will be total eclipses in Spain. The 2026 one will go roughly through the center of Spain but it'll be just an hour or so before sunset. The 2027 one will only be visible in the very south of Spain.

We weren't in the totality path for that one (will be next year! YAY!) but it happened on the first day of school, so I bought a cheap monocular and set it up with a big foamboard for shade on a tripid so it projected the eclipse onto the ground outside. Amazing start for my students that year. I was able to show some pinhole camera effect stuff too.

I happened to live in a town that became a huge meeting place for everyone wanting to see an eclipse. It was pretty rad. My ex, who had seen this before, said there would look like there were snakes on the ground, and it kinda did. It was weird.

It’s more that Nepomniachtchi was one game ahead with four left to play (and as Game 11 was drawn, he’s now one up with three left to play), so every game he doesn’t lose makes it harder for Ding to win the championship. Seems pretty clear to me.

I am shocked that winning the game makes you more likely to win the game. Let us supplement this brilliant observation with percentages pulled directly out of our asses.

They’re not really pulled out of their asses; Chess statistics is so far ahead it makes Moneyball look like a high school project. Nepomniachtchi has about 20 Elo on Ding now, was one game up going into Game 11, and was playing white. Gut feeling alone indicates those odds are about right.

Agnostalgia posted:A real competitor knows you always have to give 230%. you're looking at that wrong. The probabilities displayed are (G_i is the result of game i): P[winning championship | G_1, ..., G_10] And then: P[winning championship | G_1, ..., G_10, G_11=win] P[winning championship | G_1, ..., G_10, G_11=draw] P[winning championship | G_1, ..., G_10, G_11=loss] i.e. they're conditioned on different events, you can't just add them. (not a chess nerd so details are probably off but that's basically what it's saying)

i would note that things are not going great in the UK at the moment and I'd expect our life expectancy to drop in the next few years our health service is on its last legs and is either going to collapse or get privatized which to a lot of people will be the same thing. I'm guessing lots of cancers and other diseases that are best treated early are getting missed right about now. We're also releasing raw sewage into our rivers and coastal areas. We haven't even reached rock bottom yet.

Nenonen posted:"bars show million tonnes of coal equivalent (Mtce) while figures at top of bars show millions of physical tons (Mt)" So it's like if we had a chart showing goons where the bar was weight and the figure next to the bar was BMI.
