Sounds like fun. I’m applying. <\/p>\n
In other news, I now have a level 30 paladin on the western us realms, my little avenger finally has conviction. Useful for helping those strong in elemental-tastic destruction. Now I just need someone to play with.<\/p>\n
Work is very frustrating. I’m not sure if there’s some linear algebra I just don’t know that would make it all very easy (it seems like there ought to be). <\/p>\n
Consider, rotation matrices R_i, and A. The R_i’s are known; A is not. Also, unit vector x, representing the displacement between two objects in one frame of reference, and unit vector x_i, the displacement vector in another, changing, frame of reference.<\/p>\n
x = R_i*A*x_i<\/p>\n
x and A are unknown. There are a large number of samples, and we can do this for multiple points (so, y, y_i, and z, z_i are possible as well). Determine A. Remember to constrain it to an orthonormal rotation matrix, rotating from one right handed coordinate system to another. Try to avoid referencing individual elements of the matrix where possible. Also note that the equation solver will puke in a variety of hideous ways when you attempt to feed it a system of 9 equations in 9 variables. Tantrums are not a valid solution.<\/p>\n
I was about to get into a deep funk about not being contacted back. Not by Lai-San (on whose recommendation I am waiting), not recieving my transcripts back from cmu, and no word from the gentleman of the hour. Then the gentleman called. One ought to be careful what one asks for, as one just might get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
