I think, the sum or product of thin categories is thin, the sum or product of discrete categories is discrete, etc. Some categories may be the sum and/or product of other categories. 05:04:53 And then it would seem you can even combine monads and comonads from the categories you can making a sum or product of 05:14:52 There is then the category of no objects being the identity for the sum, and the discrete category of a single object for the identity for product. 05:16:30 -!- augur has joined. 05:17:01 copumpkin: Do you know anything of these kind of sum and product of categories? 05:17:28 there's definitely product categories 05:17:37 -!- augur has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 05:17:41 and I think you can do a coproduct of categories too, but it's a bit more involved 05:17:56 -!- augur has joined. 05:18:08 but the category of small categories definitely has all products 05:19:28 and probably all coproducts :) 05:20:29 What I mean by these sum and product of categories is: Sum means, the objects are (C, X) where C is one of its term categories and X is an object of C, and the morphisms are (C, f) where f is a morphism of C, so if f:X->Y then (C,f):(C,X)->(C,Y). Product means, objects are (C, D, ...) where C, D, ... are its factor categories and the morphisms are the morphism one from each factor category. 05:22:34 Is this OK? 05:23:25 -!- augur has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 05:23:41 -!- augur has joined. 05:24:15 hmm, that's probably right 05:24:27 just look at products and coproducts in the category of small categories 05:24:30 they work out 05:24:44 coproducts are pretty easy, actually, as far as I can tell 05:25:16 Coproducts? 05:25:21 sums 05:25:29 coproduct is the more conventional term 05:25:42 OK, well I did think and write about both sum and product of categories 05:25:59 well, you know about products and coproducts within categories? 05:26:22 Yes 05:26:33 I think so 05:26:35 then work out if your constructions fit the descriptions :) 05:26:39 but I think they do 05:26:52 to have a proper sum category 05:27:17 it contains all the objects and all the morphisms from the two "addends" 05:27:26 and then you have injection functors from the two addends 05:27:28 Yes, that is how I mean 05:27:31 and a few diagrams commute 05:27:44 And yes then you also have a functor from the addend to the sum 05:27:54 yep 05:28:03 and then a universal functor 05:28:07 so it should work 05:29:41 I think they even form a semiring? 05:31:05 -!- asiekierka has joined. 05:33:20 For multiplication you can make up a discrete category from any natural number so that the sum of a category with itself is like the product of that category with the discrete category with two objects. 05:34:30 Isn't it? 05:40:35 -!- DH____ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 05:55:36 Can exponent category now be made? I can think of something, but maybe won't work since the exponent may not always be discrete. 05:58:46 since Cat is a CCC, it should exist 05:58:53 I haven't thought about what it would mean though 05:59:36 you might want to ask in ##categorytheory 06:00:27 I need to go to sleep :) 06:01:29 I have thought a little bit about it 06:01:54 So I think I know what it means at least if the exponent is discrete 06:02:33 I try to think of it more too; maybe I will manage to think of it 06:12:40 -!- ais523 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 06:20:36 -!- ais523 has joined. 06:42:03 -!- john_metcalf has quit (Quit: http://retroprogramming.com). 07:06:33 -!- oerjan has joined. 07:07:10 -!- oerjan has set topic: Food is just pals you eat.

How many people do not know? 07:13:56 i know some things 07:14:55 Before you joined to this channel, I have discussed sum and product of categories, and also thinking about power/exponent of categories. 07:18:15 Any monads and comonads in the categories the sum/product is made from, can also be combined to make monads/comonads in the sum/product as well, I think 07:18:21 those things are usually defined _in_ categories afaik, which means that if you want to do them _of_ categories you want to look at Cat, the category of categories 07:19:58 Yes I do mean of categories. And I have written above about how to do; you may review the logs if you want to 07:21:52 what i mean is that your definitions are likely to be equivalent to the usual definitions as applied to Cat 07:22:03 OK 07:23:38 * pikhq_ mutters about being vaguely near a wildfire 07:23:40 i know absolutely nothing 07:24:10 Using these sum and product I would also think, the numbers are being like the discrete categories with that many objects 07:24:11 I don't know if the fire has anything to do with it, but respiration is irritated! 07:24:51 for example, if you have a functor F from A to C and a functor G from B to C, then there should be a unique functor H from A+B to C such that F and G are the compositions of H with the embeddings 07:25:50 and dually for products 07:26:05 is that the universal property? 07:26:06 Yes, I believe you, it makes sense 07:26:09 oklopol: yes 07:26:36 category theory is so awesome 07:26:58 oklopol: Yes 07:27:06 oklopol: yes 07:27:11 Yes 07:28:05 while the power/exponent should be defined if Cat is a cartesian closed category, by another universal property 07:28:43 Do you get the property I have described if the exponent is discrete? 07:29:00 um i didn't read what you said before 07:29:15 i was gonna check what the UP for power is but ended up reading about sheaves and taking a break now. those things are crazy. 07:29:17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_closed_category says it is 07:30:13 What I have described is that, if C is to the power of a discrete category having two objects, it will be like a product of C with C, and so on 07:30:15 ^ Y is defined as the right adjoint functor of x Y 07:30:40 zzo38: sounds reasonable 07:31:58 Hom(X x 2, Z) ~= Hom(X, Z^2) 07:32:30 X x 2 ought to be ~ X + X 07:33:11 I have described above that the sum of C with C, is like the product of C with a discrete category having 2 objects. 07:33:19 so then you get Hom(X + X, Z) ~= Hom(X, Z x Z), which looks like it might follow from the universal properties 07:33:37 -!- calamari has quit (Quit: Leaving). 07:35:56 zzo38: i think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_closed_category#Equational_theory may be relevant 07:36:17 OK 07:38:40 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 07:44:52 I believe that does show the property I described to be the case. 07:46:23 What of monads and comonads on the exponent category then?

09:05:51 Yeah 09:05:58 Because that's easy to twist into meaning absolutely nothing whatsoever. 09:06:04 True 09:06:50 Very much like the rest of the Bible. 09:07:17 Sgeo: Caesar was a god, so of course you had to pay tax to him. 09:07:30 Obama is Satan, so you shouldn't pay taxes to *him*. 09:08:03 How about David Cameron?

09:09:28 this is highly at odds with what I have read on the Internet 09:09:33 Nah, just people who want to avoid taxes 09:09:43 brb 09:10:02 kmc: There *are*, they just seem to have somewhat less influence. 09:10:06 Crazy is a human universal. 09:10:19 there are many places where they have more influence 09:10:22 True. 09:10:34 There are many places where the crazies actually run the place. 09:11:14 the thing about right-wing religious extremists in the USA is, you know which party they're going to vote for 09:11:19 so that party doesn't actually have to give them anything 09:11:28 Maybe the occasional bone. 09:11:40 they bluster about social issues to get out the vote 09:11:57 and some proportion of the party is composed of said extremists, and some of those people get elected 09:12:01 but not that many really 09:13:26 Not that the people they vote for are any *better*... 09:13:40 The badness is just of a completely different sort. 09:13:44 yeah 09:14:16 well i don't know 09:14:50 i have a slight preference for a corrupt corporatist state over a theocracy 09:14:58 neither is good 09:15:02 Well, yes. 09:15:12 this preference reflects my various forms of privilege 09:15:24 Both are very, very low on my preference ranking, but corrupt corporatist state > theocracy. 09:15:33 Back 09:16:27 But, then, in a theocracy I'm liable to be dead. 09:16:30 The UK is technically sort-of a theocracy 09:16:39 But nobody actually cares 09:16:43 how so?

10:27:54 -_- 10:28:10 what is 'trolling by proxy' 10:34:00 "hi, my friend says Haskell gives you herpes and aids, i think this is wrong but pls provide a detailed rebuttal" 10:34:23 produces similar results to someone coming in and saying haskell gives you herpaids 10:34:37 worse, in that you can't make it go away by kickbanning someone 10:34:45 oh, I see 10:34:48 very clever 10:35:05 even when nobody in the channel intends to troll, the result is the same as trolling 10:35:08 Patashu: It's far from the state of the art in trolling techniques. 10:35:11 Ingenius in its subtlety. 10:35:14 happens a lot when you're discussing Other People who are Wrong On The Internet 10:35:16 well I am not very good at trolling 10:35:17 shachaf: what's the state of the art? 10:35:18 so I'm easily impressed 10:35:27 kmc: I don't think that's public information. 10:35:40 is it u 10:35:45 No. :-( 10:35:48 kmc: But in this case there's still responsibility: The "friend" said something inflammatory. 10:35:52 poorchaf 10:36:05 The ultimate trolling probably arises on its own, like a sort of meme. 10:36:07 shachaf: well, in less hyperbolic cases, the friend is perhaps just ignorant 10:36:09 kmc, but in this case I'm not quoting them as things I want treated seriously and debunked, I'm quoting them because I and presumably everyone else finds them risible. 10:36:17 Things like "0.999... = 1?!", maybe. 10:36:29 Just think of the discussions that generates, even when everyone means well. 10:36:49 I guess it's not exactly a "technique". 10:37:04 So basically politics and religion are the ultimate trolling technique? 10:37:34 Phantom_Hoover: There are a lot of trolls in politics and religion. 10:37:41 But some topics, yes. 10:38:16 kmc: did u accuse me of being cheater :'( 10:38:36 is cheater the state of the art in trolling 10:38:47 I don't think so. 10:38:49 Decidedly not. 10:38:51 well in that he can troll elliott and Phantom_Hoover without saying anything at all 10:38:52 He got banned from multiple channels. 10:39:05 and cause them to abuse third parties 10:39:29 Still bitter about that? 10:39:44 Wait, which "that" is that? 10:39:45 not bitter, just amused and confused 10:40:06 Take it up with ais if you think the ban was unjustified. 10:40:12 i'm not saying he shouldn't be bant 10:40:17 Did he get banned in here? 10:40:21 Yes. 10:40:24 i just think it's insane how much abuse I got for daring to say "hi" to him 10:40:33 it's the sort of thing you see in extremely brainwashed religious societies 10:40:41 the unclean one must be shunned 10:40:46 cheater: hi 10:40:57 kmc, I do believe you're trying to troll me. 10:41:14 like, i can understand that he doesn't get along with this channel, but apparently the fact that I can get along with him in any context at all makes me a horrible human being 10:41:30 so yeah 10:41:36 i think anyone who can produce that kind of response 10:41:39 is a pretty advanced troll 10:42:28 kmc gets along with everyone* 10:42:42 zero or more copies of everyone 10:45:37 who is cheater 10:45:40 I feel I am missing out on something 10:45:48 join #codez 10:46:06 it's the channel he set up to talk to the people from #esoteric, #haskell-blah, and ##electronics who will still put up with him 10:46:24 Founder: cheater 10:46:44 Longrunning troll who survived largely because for most of his time on the channel there were 3 ops none of whom actually used their powers. 10:49:18 So I'm in #codez but I still have cheater on /ignore 10:49:56 I wonder what that'll do. 10:50:00 Maybe he'll ban me. 10:54:55 i don't believe in /ignore 10:56:03 I didn't either, but then he decided to take a particular dislike to me for some reason. 10:56:18 huh, odd 10:56:45 There were other conversations in the channel so I decided it would be reasonable. 10:59:48 the other day someone joined and asked about the most pythonic way to solve some problem 10:59:52 (cause that's a thing that happens apparently) 11:00:05 and cheater gave just about the most convoluted, un-pythonic solution you could reasonably pass off as serious code 11:02:22 i don't know if he was trolling, or just felt obliged to give some answer (even a bad one) immediately 11:05:35 i still don't get what the cheater fuss was all about 11:05:50 i'm way more annoying 11:09:04 -!- MDream has changed nick to MDude. 11:09:07 You're annoying in an amusing way. 11:09:32 :( 11:09:39 BUT I TRY SO HARD 11:10:04 so this #codez, is it like esoteric but without all that annoying programming stuff 11:12:32 haha 11:22:04 -!- itidus21 has joined. 11:45:03 -!- itidus20 has joined. 11:46:43 -!- ais523 has quit. 11:49:09 -!- itidus21 has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds). 11:49:25 -!- itidus20 has changed nick to itidus21. 12:21:25 kmc: is that a no 12:22:52 actually it seems to be like esoteric but without all that annoying anything. 13:50:34 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 14:09:08 -!- nooga has joined. 14:09:36 -!- Taneb has joined. 14:09:37 Hello 14:19:20 -!- Lumpio- has joined. 14:19:21 huzzah! 14:19:37 Yo. 14:40:37 -!- Patashu has changed nick to Patashu[Zzz]. 15:20:55 @ping 15:20:56 pong 15:23:42 @iuher 15:23:43 Unknown command, try @list 15:23:49 @irti 15:23:49 Unknown command, try @list 15:23:53 @ahuis 15:23:53 Unknown command, try @list 15:24:09 -!- pikhq has joined. 15:24:43 -!- pikhq_ has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 15:26:14 -!- calamari has joined. 15:28:03 -!- Eli_ has joined. 15:29:48 -!- Eli_ has quit (Client Quit). 15:33:55 possible candidate for worst wikipedia page ever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bound_property 15:34:26 -!- Taneb has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 15:35:42 an object lesson in how not to do a wikipedia article 15:37:49 maybe it's just me.. blood sugar could be low etc. 15:41:09 itidus21: bad, but not bad enough 15:41:33 not even interestingly bad, I think 15:49:33 i found it via the talk page 16:04:47 -!- Taneb has joined. 16:05:03 Hello 16:15:07 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 16:50:22 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 16:53:00 -!- oerjan has joined. 16:53:33 yay the housemates just moved out 16:53:47 * oerjan is hoping for at least some weeks of peace and quiet 17:24:28 -!- itidus21 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 17:29:11 -!- Frooxius|TabletP has joined. 17:33:53 -!- john_metcalf has joined. 17:40:31 oerjan, followed by the person who comes to collect rent 17:42:09 nah, that's transferred automatically 17:45:06 wtf is the example on that wikipedia page about 17:45:25 Which wikipedia page?

21:52:54 but stating that new cars suck seems weird, at least new cars are way less ugly 21:53:38 I mean, jeeze, turn of the century almost all cities ran on gigantic streetcar systems. 21:54:24 that's one of the many ways cars ruined the country 21:54:55 "C: Still the best systems programming language 40 years later." 21:55:02 ... 21:55:07 oh systems 21:55:08 :D 21:55:37 it's only "the best" because it's barely good enough and so all attempts to replace it with something better have failed 21:55:54 well yes, but imagine my horror when i didn't notice the word "systems". 21:56:10 Well, see, if it weren't for that cars would not be anywhere *near* as relevant. Before the streetcar systems were destroyed, cars were seen as luxuries... 21:56:21 i think you have causality backwards there 21:56:32 there was a conspiracy by car-related industries to destroy streetcars 21:56:33 Бойня кошек на Лестнице http://youtu.be/8FRBQOrvURA 21:56:36 but it was only accelerating an existing trend 21:56:37 Yes. Bastards. 21:56:55 with or without that, cars became much more affordable and people could have them 21:57:04 If bad programming languages killed more people perhaps programming languages wouldn’t suck as much. 21:57:06 Anyways. Yes, I agree, cars are a *real friggin' problem*. 21:57:09 oklopol: Yes @all new cars suck. 21:57:13 which led to the building of massive road infrastructure coupled with the decline of rail infrastructure 21:57:14 They look like shit, literally. 21:57:23 which produced these horrid, unsustainable modes of living 21:57:42 new cars look modern and nice, old cars look ugly and boring. 21:57:45 http://www.nfscars.net/forum/picture.php?albumid=201&pictureid=4092 <- that is a car. 21:58:00 that looks like a banana mated with a robot 21:58:03 http://www.quaiswaseeq.com/top-5-muscle-cars-of-all-times/muscle_cars/1969-chevrolet-camaro-ss.jpg <- that is a car 21:58:04 where you live in a McMansion in suburbia and the closest you have to a "town center" is a malignant tumor of big box stores, strip malls, and office parks 21:58:25 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Overhaulin_442.jpg <- that is a car 21:58:49 new cars look modern and nice, old cars look ugly and boring. 21:58:51 Which kind of new car 21:58:56 I mean 21:58:58 fairly new 21:59:00 or new new 21:59:14 because there was that whole thing where angles came into fashion 21:59:25 http://www.wallpapers-football.net/Other-wallpapers/car/car8.jpg <- looks stupid 21:59:30 mroman: in all seriousness, yeah those look okay. not as nice as new ones, but okay. 21:59:45 kmc: Little boxes of ticky-tacky, little boxes all the same... 21:59:47 http://pics.ricardostatic.ch/ImgUsers/EuroTax/p0502828.jpg <- looks like crap 21:59:48 the last one is obviously the prettiest 22:00:12 the last last one looks so sexy i would totally mate with it 22:00:19 http://www.auto-bilder.org/autobilder/volvo-c30-3729.jpg <- ugly 22:00:21 -!- Frooxius|TabletP has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds). 22:00:26 ok kmc, pikhq_, cut the circlejerk 22:00:28 tbh streetcars aren't that great 22:00:34 well 22:00:41 they have some advantages over buses but it's not a huge difference imo 22:00:41 okay the last last last one is the super bestest. 22:00:44 kmc is ok because he tends to have a fairly balanced perspective 22:00:52 oklopol, ew no, not enough angles 22:00:54 I like old cars :) 22:01:00 not 22:01:03 enough 22:01:06 angles 22:01:09 kmc: The advantage is they could've been built into a more robust transit system. If developed instead of destroyed. 22:01:14 well 22:01:18 a subset of old cars :) 22:01:22 mroman: in all real seriousness, i don't give a shit, i wouldn't buy any of those 22:01:23 the subset 22:01:25 with angles 22:01:27 ? 22:01:35 whatever 22:01:40 pikhq_: by building new tunnels, you mean? 22:01:42 yes 22:01:47 the subset with edges and angles. 22:02:02 also tbh aesthetics comes a long way after, for instance, crumple zones 22:02:12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FRBQOrvURA&feature=youtu.be this one i would buy 22:02:16 streetcar tunnels are kinda nice but I think proper grade-separated heavy rail rapid transit is much much better 22:02:29 kmc, what do you think, of trams 22:02:31 if you're going to the expense of new tunnels, maybe you should just build a new rapid transit system 22:02:38 kmc: There's reason to *move* that way when not everyone has cars. 22:02:49 oklopol, no that's a cat 22:02:54 and there have been a fair number of those constructed in post-WWII america 22:03:01 i know you finns have problems with r/t 22:03:01 not as many as there should be, but still 22:03:05 more than new streetcar systems 22:03:15 kmc, trams! i need to know 22:03:18 Phantom_Hoover: sorry i have visual dyslexia and thought that was a video of a car. 22:03:28 Phantom_Hoover: trams and streetcars are the same thing 22:03:32 en_US vs en_UK or something 22:03:37 is that like where you confuse things based on whether theyre spelt similarly 22:03:43 yes 22:03:52 i need to see a description in writing 22:03:55 kmc, oh right, for some reason i was thinking cable car (??) 22:04:04 yeah 22:04:07 to notice subtle differences in spelling 22:04:08 Streetcars in modern use have little to no reason to be built further, yes. The *point* is that it's mass transit, and when everyone uses mass transit you have reason to do more mass transit. 22:04:16 the reason i ask is because we have an infamously terrible tram system in edinburgh 22:04:19 well 22:04:21 *will* have 22:04:31 it's following the duke nukem school of development 22:04:41 there's also the "aerial tram" which is kind of like an enclosed ski lift car 22:04:45 hangs from a cable in the air 22:04:47 Rather than, y'know. "Yeah, we put in a single line cause that's 'green', but really everyone has a car so who cares." 22:04:53 there's one of these in NYC actually 22:05:04 kmc, they have those in detroit in DX:HR!!! 22:05:21 fun fact, detroit in HR does not resemble real detroit in any meaningful way 22:05:33 from tv shows, i've learned that americans only ride the bus if they are really poor 22:05:40 yeah 22:05:55 this never ceases to amaze me. 22:05:59 except in new york city, maybe 22:06:06 even there, you take the subway if at all possible 22:06:14 oklopol: Yes. It's *severely* difficult to use the buses in most cities, and so it is extremely beneficial to get a car if at all possible. 22:06:21 anyway this is why there is no political support for public transit 22:06:41 oh yeah, that's the other reason the trams here are awful, we have a perfectly good bus system 22:06:55 it's also part of the calculus on, should you build new transit systems in places with none, or should you improve transit in places with high transit ridership already 22:06:57 oklopol: We're talking "add on an extra hour to your transit, at least". 22:07:25 pikhq_, do the buses, like, drive 5 miles backwards? 22:07:49 And only then start going where they're meant to? 22:08:01 Or is that just because American cities are ridiculously sprawling. 22:08:08 i can't really imagine an enjoyable life where i frequently have to travel distances i can't easily walk. 22:08:16 buses are infrequent and they don't go to exactly where you want to go 22:08:23 so you might have to transfer, and wait for the next bus which is also late 22:08:30 Phantom_Hoover: Combination of American cities being ridiculously sprawling and buses being very infrequent and bus routes being sparse. 22:08:43 buses are much more usable if you have a smartphone, because many cities have realtime online tracking of buses now 22:08:51 kmc, there's a road near my house which I swear has a bus stop every 50 metres. 22:08:52 o_O 22:09:22 @smartphone tracking 22:09:23 Unknown command, try @list 22:09:23 It's annoying if you're on the bus because you're constantly stopping because one person is at each stop. 22:09:44 anyway it's obvious that buses can never be faster than driving 22:09:49 We have roughly every km a bus stop. 22:10:00 Which is how it should be :) 22:10:04 that's why you need proper dedicated right-of-way rapid transit 22:10:38 one of the dumb things in America is local zoning laws which prohibit dense development, mandate a certain amount of parking for businesses, etc 22:11:09 Buses are faster than driving here during rush hour, since the major roads have bus lanes. (Granted, that's not very often.) 22:11:10 in the south San Francisco Bay Area, you have lots of wealth, and lots of people who would love to live in a real, dense city, but it's just illegal for them to make one 22:11:42 I guess they're not if you drive in the bus lanes too, but that's illeggul. 22:11:53 Some cities get it stupider still... For instance, the city I'm in (Colorado Springs) has height limits on buildings. 22:12:26 kmc: do they keep some parts completely undeveloped and foresty, or just empty? 22:12:32 IIRC, you can't go above 8 stories, period. 22:12:47 because the one reason i love about finland is that there are trees. 22:13:03 the rest of europe is just horrible 22:13:08 one of the dumb things in America is local zoning laws which prohibit dense development, mandate a certain amount of parking for businesses, etc 22:13:09 you what 22:13:19 Colorado Springs is thus even more sprawly than usual. 22:13:24 (well sweden is just a better finland ofc but i mean the southern countries) 22:13:29 Oh, and people do complain on pretty much all "tall building" projects here, on the grounds that it ruins the (pretty much flat) skyline. 22:13:39 oklopol, um sorry sweden is the: worst 22:14:36 oklopol: there are many undeveloped forest or desert parts of the USA 22:14:36 That tallest building in Edinburgh is 19th-century. 22:14:41 Phantom_Hoover: Yeah, that's pretty typical... 22:14:42 *the 22:14:55 i pretty much prefer all countries in the scandinavia family over the rest of europe 22:15:36 (The highest off the ground is IIRC also the oldest building in the city.) 22:15:38 Phantom_Hoover: US zoning laws typically mandate low-density development. 22:15:44 pikhq_, ...why? 22:16:02 if you built high density housing, dangerous minorities would move in 22:16:24 forest parts sound nice, you should keep it that way. 22:16:25 rich white people left the cities in the 60's due to high crime 22:16:28 And if you built shops without giant parking lots, then you couldn't get your land yacht there. 22:16:30 please tell my opinion to all americans 22:16:52 and then they passed laws to prevent their new suburban areas from becoming like those cities, without regard to which properties of cities are good or bad 22:16:57 oklopol: It would be very, very hard for us to *not* keep forests. 22:17:03 oklopol, I'm not even sure how many surviving forests there are in the UK... 22:17:21 Boston in particular has a lot of nice parks within or just outside the city 22:17:47 Pretty sure we have multiple forests larger than the UK. 22:17:48 I think there are bits of the Highlands which have gone mostly untouched, but south of that almost everywhere's cultivated to some extent. 22:17:52 there are more than a dozen large, substantial parks i can bike to easily from my home 22:17:58 Phantom_Hoover: i saw some in scotland, but only on some sort of island. then again i guess forests are not scotland's thing. 22:18:16 Wolfram|Alpha is unable to tell me how many trees there are in Finland. 22:18:20 NYC has a lot of parks too 22:18:51 kmc: sounds nice 22:19:05 kmc: are they full of murderers? 22:19:06 some (like Central Park) are obsessively designed and sculpted, so they aren't really "nature", but still very very nice 22:19:11 oklopol, well on the couple of trips I've had to the Highlands I've definitely visited forests. 22:19:20 but even in Manhattan, there's Inwood Hill Park, which feels like being lost in the woods 22:19:42 i've only been to uk once and we didn't exactly try to seek forests 22:19:46 -!- ais523 has quit. 22:19:57 so really i don't have any idea 22:20:06 -!- Phantom_Hoover has left ("Leaving"). 22:20:11 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 22:20:17 goddamn window focus 22:20:21 but let me tell you about this one time i went to paris and decided i'll just sleep in the forest. 22:20:21 i think it's a property of the old cities in the east of the USA in general 22:20:29 that they have lots of parks 22:20:36 i didn't sleep in the forest. there are none. 22:20:48 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_woodland 22:21:26 in retrospect i was pretty retarded 22:21:51 people told me there are no forests but i was like hey i don't mind walking a few kilometers. 22:22:44 it was also fun trying to get to the eiffel tower with a backpack, turns out they won't let you leave it anywhere. not even in the finnish embassy :( 22:22:58 i left it in a park i found about 4 km from the tower 22:23:38 What's the world come to when embassies won't even give their citizens backpack storage. 22:23:44 yeah :/ 22:23:50 that was the only place that really considered it 22:24:16 they all spoke finnish so they took my plight pretty seriously 22:24:34 they even called somewhere to check that there's no way 22:24:37 and there was no way 22:24:44 -!- sebbu2 has joined. 22:24:44 -!- sebbu2 has quit (Changing host). 22:24:45 -!- sebbu2 has joined. 22:24:54 Are Finns compelled to take anything said in Finnish seriously. 22:25:33 you wouldn't understand, your language is a minority. 22:25:53 "your money.. it has all been lost" said in finnish :D 22:25:53 erm 22:25:55 *isn't 22:26:01 I for one won't take anything said in Finnish seriously 22:26:14 ^Finnish 22:26:47 olsner: go easy on finland i just praised yours :( 22:27:05 let's end the hate 22:27:20 what, end it? but hate is so fun! 22:27:25 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 22:27:26 indeed it is 22:27:32 olsner: Oh, come now, surely you can hate some other group. 22:27:40 Like the poor sods in France! 22:27:44 fuck you olsner, if i ever meet you, i will chop off your head and feed it to a rabbit 22:27:44 oklopol, see now you have learnt life's most valuable lesson:] 22:27:50 never be nice to sweden 22:27:55 That's the spirit!! 22:28:15 ive never been outside australia 22:28:21 but 22:28:27 i've never been outside the complement of australia 22:28:39 Likewise. 22:29:01 maybe this means me and itidus21 are part of the proof that the earth is hausdorff with the country topology 22:29:07 if one considers the earth as a big rock with water on it.. then this all sounds liess exciting 22:29:20 ^less 22:29:28 Most rocks don't have magma centers. 22:29:45 even big ones? 22:29:55 oklopol, wouldn't iti have to have never been outside the interior of Australia for that to work. 22:30:06 (i should probably know whether they do) 22:30:15 Depends on how big they are. 22:30:35 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4C_tSMqS810/Swyal4RdGAI/AAAAAAAAE_Y/Ev07Fu2dueo/s1600/simpsons,+vishnu,+hindu,+atheism,+cosmology.jpg 22:31:25 oklopol: sorry for speaking evils about Finland, please don't kill me if we meet 22:31:33 oklopol, don't listen to him 22:31:38 he's manipulating you 22:31:41 olsner: i'm a very gentle killer 22:31:53 -!- Lumpio- has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds). 22:32:13 olsner: alternatively we can have a beer and be best buds. 22:32:25 i have been to 2 australian states and 1 australian territory 22:33:10 and 32 super mario bros. levels 22:33:29 ok maybe not all 32 22:33:35 you should write a blog about your travels, i'd totally give it a read 22:33:38 oklopol: "gently" chopping someone's head off sounds difficult, you must be skilled 22:34:05 oklopol: well in a single trip we travelled through all 3 22:34:18 when my dad did some work in canberra for a week or 2 22:34:18 itidus21: this is irc, you can't blog here 22:34:24 but okay do tell 22:34:25 oh 22:34:29 well thats it 22:34:33 oh 22:34:40 short and sweet 22:34:51 itidus21: have you visited any of the cantons in austria as well? 22:35:02 yes 22:35:08 like an asian strawberry prostitute 22:35:30 i have visited 5 cantons in austria 22:35:48 -!- Lumpio- has joined. 22:37:24 sudden craving of strawberries 22:38:13 i'm ambivalent about them 22:38:21 why is that 22:38:42 not enough good strawberries 22:38:56 they are a rare breed 22:38:59 i appreciate that the poor plants go through hell over it though 22:39:12 no strawberries in austria? 22:39:26 and very few of them will actually let you have sex with them. 22:39:35 like, "here.. i consumed most of my lifes energy making these, go ahead, take them.... what do i care' 22:39:47 although i did mean a craving for eating them 22:39:49 they're only my children 22:40:08 :( 22:40:10 I think most berries are made to be eaten 22:40:15 i will never eat strawberries again 22:40:19 hahahaha 22:40:23 that's how the plants distribute their seeds, given that they don't walk 22:40:26 olsner is right 22:40:31 he is? 22:40:37 of course I am! 22:40:37 berries are unhappy if they are not eaten 22:40:46 yeah, just like cows 22:40:49 so can i eat them without being evil? 22:40:52 they will just fall to the ground and rot 22:40:59 like my quamquots do at times 22:41:02 just like cows 22:41:55 ... infact i think strawberries want to make use of your shit as fertilizer or something 22:42:02 just a guess 22:42:03 ooh kinky 22:42:41 and 22:42:44 with this in mind 22:42:51 oh it's there alright 22:43:01 one can see perhaps why animals are so picky about where they do their doodoo 22:43:23 -!- derdon has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 22:43:31 because they want to fertilize only the sexiest strawberries? 22:43:45 well it's a great responsibility 22:43:50 -!- derdon has joined. 22:43:51 yeah 22:44:00 you can't just eat seeds and deposit them at random 22:44:38 I think animals get picky if they have somewhat fixed nesting places where they benefit from not rolling in shit, but otherwise aren't picky at all, in general 22:44:48 yeah there's child support and shit to think about 22:44:55 interdependance is weird 22:45:11 strawberries don't ask for child support 22:45:18 I think we haven't told them they can, or something 22:45:30 somewhat unfair, but economical 22:45:31 they don't seem to care 22:45:37 well that's slavery 22:45:54 i'm sure they'd have a use for money 22:45:55 well paper money 22:45:56 would they care if they knew? I think they ought to know, so they can decide whether to care 22:46:03 plants are used to being slaves 22:46:17 ok maybe not 22:46:17 so were black people and women 22:46:25 back then 22:46:42 brb... toast time! 22:47:07 if plants can deal with it so can black people 22:47:16 itidus21: with dismembered and squashed strawberries on top? 22:47:31 no, dismembered and squashed black people 22:47:32 drawn and quartered 22:48:02 "petermolydeux ‏@PeterMolydeux 22:48:02 Why do keys remain in your inventory until you use them? What if you could actually misplace them? or you unknowingly dropped one?" 22:48:12 NO THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BRING UP EVEN AS A JOKE 22:48:13 TOO FAR 22:48:28 why is that too far? sounds neatly realistic 22:48:34 -!- derdon has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 22:48:38 oh god 22:48:48 there can be actual holes in pants, for example 22:48:55 no 22:48:57 you don't 22:48:58 understand 22:49:03 even joking about it 22:49:07 make it more likely to come true 22:49:16 that's just what i always wanted, a losing-your-keys simulator 22:49:38 "How about an escort mission where YOU play as the escort for a horrible agent. Give them a mental breakdown by repeatably getting in the way" 22:49:38 i love losing my keys, it's these little things that make days magical. 22:49:40 Phantom_Hoover: I assume that you are talking about some game you play and therefore care about not being able to lose your keys in? 22:49:42 unfortunately i never do :( 22:49:44 i would play the shit out of that game 22:49:58 but luckily i fuck up every other thing 22:50:00 olsner, yes by which i mean literally any game with keys 22:50:34 btw, one of the halo games worked well as a "lost in empty space station" simulator 22:50:58 so it's like system shock? 22:51:16 "oh, did you think this was a running-around-and-shooting game? nope, it's just a maze!" 22:51:25 with no exit 22:51:39 haven't played system shock, so I wouldn't know 22:51:49 olsner, oh man you clearly never played the second-last level of Halo 3 22:52:13 I have only played one of them and it was 10 years ago 22:52:13 is halo an fps? 22:52:40 "OK so you run around and shoot people, except none of them have ammo, the environment is a bunch of boring meat corridors and once you think you've reached the end you have to turn back around and do it all over again, backwards!" 22:53:45 oklopol, yes. 22:53:52 -!- augur has joined. 22:54:24 none of them have ammo? oh god you don't have to shoot civilians do you? how twisted, i'm sure most gamers would stop in horror. 22:54:42 No, civilians would at least not put up a fight. 22:54:47 system shock 2 is a great game 22:55:57 kmc, I haven't played it, I just know there's a space station (OK spaceship, same difference) involved. 22:56:20 a few spaceships actually 22:56:23 and every time you shoot a civilian, you are shown a clip of their family crying 22:56:31 kind of like in that austin powers movie or what was it 22:56:38 oklopol, are you the one behind peter molydeux 22:57:01 no, but i almost took part in it 22:57:12 i was invited 22:57:13 sorta 22:58:01 "Peter Molydeux, the man, the mystery, the inspiration for the recent MolyJam game jam that attracted more than 1,000 people to more than 30 locations worldwide." 22:58:10 So that's like 30 people per location? 22:58:37 so it would seem 22:59:20 i think there was a location at our university. or something. 22:59:29 It could so easily have been 31 22:59:30 well 22:59:36 Some people say the 7xxx version numbering scheme for .IT files is bad idea http://wiki.openmpt.org/Talk:Development:_Formats/IT 22:59:36 30 + 1/30 22:59:50 i presume oko would split himself evenly across all venues 22:59:56 naturally 23:00:05 otherwise it would be just unfair. 23:00:45 would you doing it according to continuous chess principles 23:01:06 i would totally being do it that ways. 23:01:25 wait 23:01:35 did you say doing because it's the continuous form 23:02:46 naturally 23:02:49 from now on i shall call you the high priest of continuous chessism. 23:03:27 Given a solid oklo in 3‑dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the oklo into a finite number of non-overlapping pieces (i.e. subsets), which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original oklo. 23:03:32 oh fuck it's 2 am 23:03:50 in the afterlife you need to divide yourself between heaven and hell such that your centre of mass lies in limbo 23:03:54 thus solving the molydeux unfairness problem 23:04:23 that was to olsner, although probably being in limbo solves all problems 23:04:47 no, it creates all problems, but if you reverse time that's probably equivalent 23:05:51 i hear the universe is reversible. 23:06:51 unfortunately, reversible 3d CA do not have a computable upperbound for the radius of the inverse CA :( 23:07:09 that's why time travel is hard 23:07:22 that has to be it 23:07:50 that and the lack of working time machines 23:08:17 erm that's why there's a lack 23:09:02 i would like to see a game which implemented that tarski banach thing 23:09:41 can you elaborate on implement 23:09:59 yup, one moment 23:10:51 iti went to write a constructive proof. 23:11:02 well it was nice knowing you. 23:13:35 ok what i had in mind is that it is a game where you can somehow cut objects up, and reconstruct them, where the game simulates nonmeasurable sets somehow 23:13:55 Does afterlife have a center of mass? 23:13:56 whatever these nonmeasurable sets are 23:15:01 so like you have 5 question marks that you can move around 23:16:16 it really surprises me that it only works in 3d 23:16:24 3d and up 23:16:52 you can do things that are "against geometric intuition" in any dimension though. 23:17:24 just not that particular thing i guess 23:18:59 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:19:02 itidus21, the gist of it is that it's because if you do two rotations in succession in 2D they'll be the same as if they were in the opposite order, but the same is not true in 3D. 23:19:27 ahh 23:19:33 ooh ooh free group free group NONAMENABLE GROUP OF ROTATIONS 23:19:43 ...or so i hear 23:20:13 yes oko the reason i was avoiding mentioning those words is because iti is now going to look them up and confuse himself horribly 23:20:14 well done 23:20:24 sorry :( 23:20:41 so are you in a math university yet 23:20:46 so 2d rotations are .. c-something 23:20:49 no 23:21:03 commutative 23:21:16 now i'm waiting to see if i messed up the "you want to do maths with us hahaha fuck off" test i had to sit 23:21:17 why not, you already know all the right words :/ 23:21:38 dammit why didn't i think of that 23:21:51 i'd probably have gained like 10 marks for 'amenable' 23:21:55 i was actually just proctoring that sorta thing 23:22:06 and laughing at people's answers 23:22:30 iti, yes, commutative means ab = ba 23:23:05 i am getting better at this stuff.. but when? well thats more complicated 23:23:08 and 2d rotations form a commutative group with respect to their natural composition, which is "first rotate like this, then rotate like this" 23:23:53 certain things get in the way of learning 23:23:59 identity being "don't rotate at all" and inversion being, bare with me this gets complicated, "rotate in the other direction". 23:24:05 -!- Patashu[Zzz] has changed nick to Patashu. 23:24:06 for some reason or other 23:24:09 "...by the same amount" 23:24:16 and when those things go away, learning can proceed 23:25:06 also there's associativity but it's trivially obvious when you explain it like that 23:25:19 yeah because a 23:25:21 erm 23:25:50 well let's just leave it like that 23:25:51 i like it 23:26:14 so if you rotated 5 degrees then -2 degrees.. for a total rotation of 3 degrees.. would the inverse be -3 degrees? 23:26:23 Yes. 23:26:43 humm.. 23:27:16 yeah so basically 2d rotations are just numbers modulo 2pi, or 360 if you prefer 23:27:50 Meanwhile, in 3D, if you rotate an object 90 degrees around the x axis then 90 degrees around the y axis you get a different overall transformation to rotating by the y axis and then x. 23:27:54 yup.. 1 circle mapped onto some unit 23:27:55 which makes it even more obvious that they are commutative 23:27:59 and associative 23:28:36 Phantom_Hoover: sooo you start next fall? 23:28:48 but suppose you had a unit which was 1 = 720 degrees. i suppose nothing exciting would come of it 23:28:51 assuming you aren't way stupider than you look 23:29:16 I should be safe, I look pretty stupid. 23:29:22 good. 23:30:56 itidus21: i'm not touching that one due to having a hunch you could connect it to some of the pictures in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_surface 23:30:57 has anyone ever actually plaed continuous chess? 23:31:02 it looks like a buff to bishops and a nerf to knights 23:31:12 Patashu: i think i let ph win me in it once 23:31:38 oklopol, no, I let you amend the rules so you captured the closure of your piece. 23:32:17 right, but we then played again 23:32:29 that was more of a joke 23:32:36 Patashu, hmm, I thought knights would be overpowered due to them being able to move through other piece. 23:33:00 log z looks like a water slide 23:33:06 I am a continuous chess armchair theorist 23:33:22 So you can basically bump a fairly small amount of knight into the enemy's queen on the first move, making the queen totally useless for capturing. 23:34:24 how sad 23:34:34 okay i have to go, i have important work to do tomorrow 23:34:36 Well, not totally, but unable to checkmate of her own accord. 23:34:53 see uu 23:35:03 Although considering that determining checkmate is everything-hard that's not a massive disadvantage. 23:35:06 humm 23:35:38 i don't want to keep oko about, but the rest of you can hear this 23:35:42 btw your last statement reminded me of http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.5597 23:36:00 itidus21: what you have a problem with me???? 23:36:12 no you need to go for important work 23:36:24 oh right, it is indeed important 23:36:26 so important. 23:36:47 haha. 23:37:06 so i have always (not always) thought of chess as a CA 23:37:14 but i guess part of it didn't make sense 23:37:17 ...a CA you say? 23:37:19 argh bye. 23:37:47 I’m impressed by how easy it was to create a new LXC container. apt-get install lxc && lxc-create -t ubuntu -n foo && lxc-start -n foo, done. 23:37:53 but just now it occurs to me that what a board game does different than a typical CA is it makes exactly 1 change per iteration 23:38:12 And is nondeterministic. 23:38:30 And has unbounded neighbourhoods. 23:38:48 And has a handful of instances of hidden state. 23:38:53 well you could make it deterministic, like a "film" 23:39:14 and you could make the neighbourhood the entire board 23:39:35 Nondeterministic CAs are perfectly cromulent, they just aren't used as much. 23:40:14 there's a decent amount of research on those 23:40:20 argh 23:40:31 vs. what exists for deterministic CAs? 23:40:33 ^i don't want to keep oko about, but the rest of you can hear this 23:40:34 are you seriously discussing CA just when i'm trying to leave 23:40:42 Phantom_Hoover: well i suppose not. 23:40:47 i did a half arsed disclaimer 23:40:51 the most famous big CA theorem is for nondeterministic CA 23:40:58 i was well aware of this problem oklopol 23:41:05 but the thought would be lost 23:41:07 otherwise 23:41:26 well we would not want such a thought lost to the world 23:42:31 http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0003117v1.pdf this little thing 23:42:48 anyway you hinted that tomorrow isn't important 23:42:56 it's just another day 23:43:19 well, my colleagues are back from uk so i can tell my coauthor about my results from this week. 23:43:28 hmm.. the thing about man discovering fire is that he already knew what fire was 23:43:48 although i will prolly publish them myself since i basically finished the article already 23:43:49 so it was like.. hmm my whole life i have seen fires.. how do i make one? 23:44:18 but for us modern humans.. we are not readily exposed to things we can't reproduce 23:44:22 buy a lighter and improve on it 23:44:37 we aren't| 23:44:39 ? 23:44:56 let my just quickly reproduce this computer of mine. 23:45:03 just gimme a shovel 23:45:31 it must have been awe inspiring to not know any means to create fire 23:46:14 yeah kind of like last week it was inspiring that no one basically had any idea what kind of subshifts can be the sets of surjective sequences of nonuniform bounded radius CA 23:46:27 and then some genius proved that at least every SFT is 23:46:35 exactly 23:47:01 i wish i could shake his right hand with my right hand, but that'll never happen :( 23:47:06 -!- kmc has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 23:47:13 oh it could happen! 23:47:38 -!- kmc has joined. 23:47:39 how 23:47:42 as far as what "could" happen... you may end up even as neighbours one day 23:47:49 no it cant 23:47:54 well we kind of are neighbors 23:48:00 for one thing, it was proven by a woman 23:48:02 for another 23:48:05 she doesn't have a right hand 23:48:14 humm 23:48:36 those are non-trivial obstacles 23:48:57 so it was like.. hmm my whole life i have seen fires.. how do i make one? <-- uh? How old were you then? 23:49:04 Phantom_Hoover: are you trying to make me be even less subtle and say "no it was me who proved it"? 23:49:14 oh wait misread 23:49:17 right 23:49:18 because that'll never happen. 23:49:23 it's called modesty. 23:49:40 wiki calls it "almost certainly won't happen" 23:49:47 but it might 23:50:03 oklopol, why would I make you say that? 23:50:16 It seems strange to try to make someone say something that's not true. 23:50:35 but 23:50:36 umm 23:50:39 :( 23:50:56 ahh 23:51:07 most amusing 23:51:39 you just need to use another form of the verb shake! 23:52:04 humm no same verb 23:52:05 but 23:52:11 could you show me this woman, my girlfriend is a lowly statistician :( 23:52:20 transitive verb vs intransitive verb 23:52:55 well i can do the standard english construction 23:53:02 but it gets kind of crazy 23:53:10 "shake" 23:53:26 oklopol, well I mean if you'd go out with a statistician I'm not sure you'd be attracted to a woman who can do real maths. 23:53:28 the context suggested a transitive verb 23:53:42 but if you meant an intransitive verb then you could shake his right hand 23:53:45 Phantom_Hoover: err why? 23:54:06 oops what the hell do i mean 23:54:15 no i give up 23:54:18 i have never dated a mathematician, have always wanted to try but they are hard to find. 23:54:26 im going to nap 23:54:30 :D 23:54:34 Well yeah, but then why a statistician? 23:54:40 They're, like, the opposite of mathematicians. 23:55:09 i only learn about her condition after we'd signed the going out agreement. 23:55:16 *learned 23:57:16 See that's why you have to be open about that kind of thing. 23:57:26 when i told her about CA and gave a specific one, she ran a few iterations of it on paper. god that was sexy. 23:59:24 okay silence, my cue to leave 23:59:32 (seriously)
