00:43:56 <ihope_> Hmm... I isn't actually a monster class, is it?
00:46:19 <fizzie> Isn't it "I" when there's a monster you can't see.

00:46:34 <ihope_> Yep.

07:27:54 <fizzie> SimonRC; You don't really need eeevil proprietary win32 codecs to watch _those_ videos; they play just fine with my mplayer using the "[ffwmv1] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg M$ WMV1/WMV7)" codec.
07:33:33 <fizzie> (Oh, perhaps you need some for the later videos, which seem to be vmw3/9; the very crashing ffwmv3 seems to, well, crash with them.)

17:34:03 <Sgeo> Is it possible to write a language that can answer the halting problem for its own complexity class and it's not a machine that always halts?
17:51:17 <ihope> Yes.
17:51:25 <ihope> But it can't be Turing-complete or above.
17:52:15 <ihope> Well... by "answering the halting problem", do you mean "being able to act on the answer to the halting problem in a way that's as powerful as the rest of the language"?
17:54:43 <SimonRC> lolol: http://www.ct24.cz/.multimedia/video/1148124018_Rath.wmv
17:55:09 <ihope> If you have a programming language where every program goes into an infinite loop without doing anything, then... wait a minute.
17:57:07 <ihope> Ah, yes. It would be completely unable to compute, so it wouldn't have to do anything with the answer to the Halting problem to have met the criterion.
18:19:34 <SimonRC> lol(2): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF5NletBOvg
18:20:39 <SimonRC> "Algorithm March"
18:20:40 <SimonRC> :-S
18:21:28 * Sgeo meant a less-than-turning complete language that had a built-in doesHalt() like thing that can't be made up from the rest of the language
18:21:49 <SimonRC> hmm
18:22:00 <SimonRC> dunno about that
18:24:53 <Sgeo> It can't be capable of infinite-loop based on the doesHalt() information
18:25:00 <SimonRC> indeed
18:25:15 <poiuy_qwert> \r\n is crlf right?
18:25:17 <SimonRC> okay, how about LISP with no functions
18:25:28 <SimonRC> I meant Scheme.
18:25:43 <SimonRC> Without functions you can't loop at all.
18:26:07 <SimonRC> Oh, and no circular lets, to stop you abusing fold and map.
18:26:37 -!- ihope has quit ("Restarting Firefox, and taking ChatZilla with it").
18:27:11 <fizzie> What about let/cc, then? (Admittedly that's not in R5RS, and call-with-current-continuation is quite unusable if you can't have a function to pass it.)
18:27:56 <Sgeo> But no loops means that it always halts?
18:28:06 <Sgeo> I don't want it to be "always halts'
18:30:51 <SimonRC> ah, ok
18:30:53 <SimonRC> hmm
18:46:33 <jix> hmm i think brainhype has a contradiction(??)
18:47:01 <jix> the prove that brainhype can't be interpreted by brainhype could be used as a proove that brainhype can't be interpreted at all (with any computational class)
18:47:09 <jix> but i have to do homework now...
18:51:56 <Sgeo> jix, the description of Brainhype has it solving the halting problem for its own computability class
18:53:46 <Sgeo> *computational
19:11:16 -!- pgimeno has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)).
19:14:33 <SimonRC> jix: indeed
19:14:45 <SimonRC> hmm
19:20:27 <jix> Sgeo: yeah but you can write a program which halts if it doesn't halt and the otherway around..
19:22:22 <jix> that's the way that gödel used to prove that every axiomatic system that is powerfull enough (i think this is the wrong term) is either incomplete OR has a contradiction...
19:23:03 <jix> but i shouldn't know this i'm in grade 10.... ;)
19:24:29 <SimonRC> why not?@ I knew it at that age

20:44:03 <fizzie> The "n=" prefix says it's not from your identd, so you should probably blame your IRC client.
20:46:55 <ihope> Identd... I oughta enable that.

20:48:50 <ihope> Hmm.
20:49:16 <ihope> The ident thingy isn't working.
20:52:23 <fizzie> Firewalled, perhaps? Not that anyone cares whether you have "i=" or "n=" there, you could just tell your IRC client to use a more proper user name than 'foo'.

22:01:20 <GregorR> Tragedy.
22:05:09 <ihope> Hmm... flan de chocolate...
22:07:42 <ihope> Nah. Flan de queso con chocolate.
22:18:31 <ihope> Now, what's a polite way to say "removed yucky (and incorrect) description of the word 'foobar'"?
22:19:50 <fizzie> That sounds polite to me.
22:20:10 <ihope> It does?
22:20:43 <ihope> What about "neither of the language specs you added to the wiki are complete"?
22:24:44 -!- tgwizard has quit ("Leaving").
22:24:55 <fizzie> That I'm not sure about. Sounds neutral. If it's factually correct.
22:32:07 <lament> what about "You smell like ass, get out of my internet"?
22:35:24 <fizzie> Close to being impolite; perhaps "the internet" instead of "my internet", and even then only if s?he actually does smell like ass. (Is that ass-as-in-animal or ass-as-in-body-part?)
22:46:58 -!- jix has quit ("Bitte waehlen Sie eine Beerdigungnachricht").
22:51:17 <ihope> So shooting a gun can mean either shooting with a gun or shooting at a gun, eh?
22:51:35 <GregorR> Who shoots at a gun?
22:51:56 <ihope> Um...
22:53:49 * SimonRC is hungry
22:54:51 <SimonRC> how about "shooting up" :-)
23:08:57 <fizzie> Lucky Luke often shoots at a gun.
23:14:39 <fizzie> (With a gun.)
