Psychology, I'm guessing. That looks like an excellent primary source for a discussion of a connection between astrophysics and schizophrenia.

TotalLossBrain posted:Probably physics? As it says it's about dark matter detection. It's really bad for a diagram of that nature, but basically the idea is that you have detectors which look for dark matter in various regions of speculated particle mass and cross-section (strength of interaction measure, basically), and they rule out areas if they don't see anything.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:Do I need to know more about planes to understand why that's funny? The graphics convey no information whatsoever. If it's relevant that the flight ceiling is such and such feet, then the number is helpful but the graphic is meaningless. There are four charts there that are totally pointless. What does that grid of squares by gross takeoff weight mean? Why are there 5 $ symbols, one of which is a lighter grey than the other four? Is the cost being ranked on a 5-point scale like a movie review? Phanatic has a new favorite as of 23:51 on Nov 14, 2016 |

I don't think those were intended to be charts, just graphic icons. Like, these little red arrows don't show you how much something is resized by.

Are the numbers big, small or average? Is it a good plane or a bad plane or a cheap plane or expensive etc. It's just a great big page of nothing

flosofl posted:I this implying that I should be able to intuit Morse from the shape of the letters? It's a visual mnemonic device. If you can't remember the sequence you picture the letter from the chart and hope you remember that better. It's not a great way to recall the information but there's not a better way of making a mnemonic device to recall that poo poo. The real issue is that anyone who cares enough to memorize the chart could just pack a pocket guide to morse code whenever they go somehwee and SOS is easier to memorize as the sequence than as the visual device.

Except that in most cases like c and g they hid put the dots and dashes along the letter and the shape doesn't help you at all E's is especially unhelpful to their case (oh yeah see A has a dot on top and a dash across, B has the dash on back and three dots for the connections see... for E just loving forget how to draw it it's just a dot, just completely forget how to draw an E or it will mislead you)

I'm irrationally annoyed at how random it is for how many dashes or dots a letter has. I know that you need to mix it up, otherwise to cover all 26 letters you'd need each letter in Morse to have 6 bits, but mixing 1, 2, 3 or 4 bits for the letters is just a mess.

The big problem with graph-based methods like that is that even after completely internalizing them, lookup is too slow to copy down code you hear at any appreciable speed. The only way to really get competent at code is to memorize and internalize how each letter 'sounds'.

Gorilla Salad posted:I'm irrationally annoyed at how random it is for how many dashes or dots a letter has. It's for efficiency. The faster you can send a message the better, so the more common letters (like E, T and I) have really short representations, while the uncommon ones like Q and J get the longer ones.

They could easily have cut down on the number of symbols per letter by using something other than dots and dashes. Even just incorporating a vertical line would half the length of the signals.

How is a vertical line differentiated from a dot on a telegraph? Or is that
