00:05:32 <myname> oerjan: i'm still learning
00:06:29 <katla> do you guys ever talk about anything interesting
00:07:03 <Fiora> I try sometimes but I'm not very good at starting conversations
00:07:09 <Fiora> and they don't seem to be interested in a lot of the stuff I am so
00:08:09 <kmc> katla: what do you find interesting? you could try to start a conversation on one of those topics
00:08:11 <Phantom___Hoover> and now i reached the scene with the french guy ranting about how the french lost all their wars
00:08:18 <kmc> to me a lot of the conversations in here are interesting
00:08:26 <katla> im not really interested in stuff :/
00:08:32 <kmc> even the ones that aren't me talking to myself
00:08:58 <Bike> apocalypse now mentions france, huh
00:09:11 <katla> ho can we talk about compactness though
00:09:21 <katla> there's nothing to say
00:09:34 <kmc> in the 'redux' editions they run into some french colonists who are still around for some reason
00:09:58 * shachaf likes the kmc talking to himself conversations
00:10:06 <shachaf> also the kmc talking to other people conversations
00:10:16 <Phantom___Hoover> i think it's an extension of the 'going backwards through vietnamese history' thing
00:10:49 <Fiora> shachaf: Um... I like astrophysics and computer architecture and strategy games and JRPGs and otome games and plushies and mahou shoujo and some other things and there doesn't seem to be that much overlap there
00:11:31 <kmc> Phantom___Hoover: ending with jungle warlords?
00:11:50 <shachaf> i wanted to make bacteria plushies (bacteria are cute)
00:12:01 <Fiora> shachaf: you can buy those! I actually have two
00:12:14 <shachaf> Fiora: do they use the motto "gotta catch them all"
00:12:18 <Fiora> http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/6708/
00:12:26 <kmc> uh clearly, a manga where magical girls learn astrophysics and computer architecture
00:12:28 <Fiora> a friend sent me the mono virus
00:12:38 <Fiora> probably so he could say "I gave fiora kissing disease"
00:13:02 <Fiora> (he is a terrible^Wwonderful flirt)
00:13:14 <shachaf> Fiora: ok so those exist but maybe they didn't exist back when i thought about it
00:13:29 <Bike> what, no blood tube
00:13:45 <shachaf> An otome game (乙女ゲーム otome gēmu?, lit. "maiden game") is a video game that is targeted towards a female market, where one of the main goals, besides the plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male, or occasionally female characters.
00:14:01 <Fiora> is "visual novel" a better general term <.<
00:14:36 <Bike> garrus isn't very bishie. imo.
00:15:13 <katla> can you read japanese?
00:15:29 <shachaf> hey i can money through gmail now
00:15:43 <kmc> it's like harry potter except they are all learning computer architecture
00:16:08 <nooodl> <kmc> uh clearly, a manga where magical girls learn astrophysics and computer architecture <-- id read this
00:16:14 <Bike> i'd also read it.
00:16:20 <nooodl> "just putting that out there"
00:16:57 -!- sacje has joined.
00:17:01 <Bike> yeah sorry phantom, objectively bad taste there.
00:17:06 <Fiora> I played mass effect 1 and 2 but I lost a bit of interest towards the end, I should play 3 sometime though
00:17:12 <Fiora> but I was like "aghghghg I have to download origin", and so I never did
00:17:19 <Fiora> garrus was pretty wonderful though
00:17:28 <Fiora> unfortunately my favorite character had no romance route, buuut
00:17:36 <Koen_> are you often like "aghghghg"?
00:17:39 <Bike> it was the opera guy wasn't it
00:17:57 <Fiora> you mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXiU6kiq_Ms ?
00:18:21 <Fiora> Mordin was so completely amazing
00:18:50 <Bike> that musta been a fun acting job.
00:19:11 <Fiora> katla: I -wish- I could. but the amount of japanese I know could fit on half a page
00:19:36 <Bike> I for one am often like "aghghghg"
00:20:07 <Phantom___Hoover> "I should play 3 sometime though" probably don't play it after... sanctuary?
00:21:05 <Fiora> I guess I kind of like bioware's older games better... I hope dragon age 3 is okay at least
00:21:38 <Fiora> and in fairness they have some really wonderful writers so...
00:21:40 <katla> Fiora hm why dont you write that all out then fill the rest of the page with new words and learn it all
00:21:53 <Bike> well there's like. a lot of it
00:21:59 <Fiora> because learning a language like that takes years of practice and dedication and is really difficult
00:22:34 <Phantom___Hoover> from what i understand, the talent pool at bioware has become incredibly diluted
00:23:18 <Phantom___Hoover> since they're now split across what, two or three different studios now? and they have a bunch more staff, and they're now locked into EA's AAA release cycle
00:24:01 <shachaf> is armikrog going to make it y/n

00:27:30 <pikhq_> Inquiry: I might be getting hired by Google. Yes or very yes on not finishing college?
00:27:54 <coppro> pikhq_: as in, dropping out and going to google?
00:28:20 <coppro> pikhq_: if they're willing to actually have you do it, very yes, unless you're working on chrome (imo)
00:28:34 <coppro> but if you're actually going to go full-time, internal mobility is high, so whatever
00:28:34 <pikhq_> So far made it past the initial phone screen.
00:28:46 <pikhq_> With them knowing that that's where I'm at.
00:29:33 <pikhq_> Noting also that I've been at least considering dropping out *as is*.
00:29:57 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Weird numpad bug).
00:30:30 <kgoret> pikhq_: count the number of times you hear "cool" in your interview. if more than 7 stay in school.
00:31:20 <pikhq_> kgoret: Google backend stuff.
00:32:05 <pikhq_> From a recruiter contacting me...
00:32:57 -!- augur has joined.
00:33:15 <Fiora> did you get a job offer or just a recruiter email?
00:33:27 <pikhq_> Recruiter email & initial interview.
00:35:21 <Fiora> I don't think that's any sort of guarantee you'll get a job at all... recruiters send out a whole bunch of emails, I don't think they have any influence on the interview process and whether or not you get a job
00:35:55 <pikhq_> It's not, I'm just hopeful. And gonna see where this leads.
00:36:35 <pikhq_> Also I'm getting kinda sick of going through college this fucking slowly.
00:37:39 <pikhq_> At the rate I'm going I'll be bald when I get my diploma.
00:38:28 <shachaf> a brilliant artist must be bald and daring
00:40:24 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
00:41:53 <kmc> coppro: why is chrome so bad, compared to google's 90000 other projects
00:41:59 <kmc> I think chrome is at least a lot more interesting
00:42:11 -!- Bike has joined.
00:42:29 <kmc> I think Google usually doesn't tell you what specific project you'd work on, until they give you an offer
00:42:49 <kmc> kgoret: no it's all about "awesome" now
00:43:02 <pikhq_> They tell you the general area they'll be hiring in.
00:43:30 <kmc> you should think hard on whether you want to commit to being at Google a few years
00:43:34 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
00:43:42 <kmc> because absent a diploma, you'd be using that experience to sell future employers
00:43:56 <kmc> do you know which office you'd be in?
00:44:33 <kmc> not as cool as SF, but I hear it's really hard to get a spot there
00:44:52 <kmc> it exists so that Google can acqui-hire SF startups who won't sell unless they can stay in the city ;P
00:44:53 <pikhq_> That *is* the Googleplex.
00:44:59 <shachaf> I hear SF isn't so much of an engineering office or something.
00:45:08 <kmc> well, I know some people doing engineering there
00:45:19 <kmc> pikhq_: Have you been applying to lots of jobs or is this just Google contacting you out of the blue
00:45:33 <coppro> kmc: I just don't like working on chrome
00:46:03 <kmc> pikhq_: do you think you have the patience & energy to do a bit of a job search to see if you can do better than Google (wrt whatever your own goals are)
00:46:13 <coppro> pikhq_: I highly recommend infrastructure teams if you can get there
00:46:22 <pikhq_> coppro: That's what I'm being recruited for.
00:46:46 <kmc> I have some regrets over not doing "job searches" in the past and mostly taking the first job that came along
00:46:48 <coppro> google infrastructure is like a playground
00:47:05 <coppro> kmc: no, I'm pretty sure there's few jobs in the world better than a Google infrastructure engineer
00:47:12 <pikhq_> kmc: Yeah, I'll probably be poking around some more. I'll just say this particular one is damned tempting.
00:47:56 <kmc> coppro: you're making some assumptions about what pikhq_ wants there
00:48:11 <kmc> it's pretty arrogant of you
00:48:19 <kmc> big companies have a lot of disadvantages too
00:48:43 <pikhq_> I'll possibly also see if my current internship can be made more... permanent.
00:49:19 <kmc> and Google corporate culture is not to everyone's liking
00:49:22 <kmc> no culture is
00:49:23 <coppro> kmc: everyone thinks exactly like me
00:49:28 <coppro> including elliott in particular
00:51:52 <pikhq_> The fact that trans-related health care things are part of the benefits makes it somewhat more tempting, considering my girlfriend...
00:52:06 <kmc> yeah that's very nice
00:52:23 <Fiora> I remember reading google and microsoft were basically the two best in that category, so that's probably a good reason
00:52:40 <pikhq_> That really shouldn't be the sole basis on which I decide, but it definitely is something in their favor.
00:52:42 <kmc> from wording I assume you aren't married so, does Google cover non-married domestic partner whatever health care?
00:52:54 <kmc> some companies do
00:53:12 <kmc> mozilla will
00:53:13 <pikhq_> Also, it'd be literally impossible for us to marry as-is.
00:53:22 <pikhq_> Fucking gay marriage laws.
00:54:05 <coppro> pikhq_: well, hopefully that law won't be very soon
00:54:39 <pikhq_> If we're lucky, it'll be moot in a day.
00:54:55 <Fiora> oooh, yeah, is the DOMA decision coming out tomorrow?
00:55:07 <Fiora> oh geez, I really really hope there's sanity >_<
00:55:24 <Fiora> I know people literally waiting on that to be able to be together (green cards, etc)
00:55:25 <Bike> well uh you did hear bout their ruling today, didn't you.
00:55:28 <Bike> "not much hope for that"
00:55:35 <Bike> Phantom___Hoover: defense of marriage act
00:55:48 <pikhq_> I'd be stunned if they uphold prop. 8.
00:56:09 <Fiora> DOMA is the problematic one though, because it kind of doesn't matter if the state endorses a marriage if the federal government won't :/
00:56:12 <Bike> for sanity, i meant. not being too serious
00:56:31 <pikhq_> Yeah. I'm just saying that prop. 8 is nearly impossible to uphold because of the details of the case.
00:56:48 <pikhq_> The defense of prop. 8 was basically "gay people are icky!"
00:57:04 <kmc> Fiora: is that really true
00:57:10 <Fiora> kmc: you can't get a green card
00:57:17 <Fiora> you can't file taxes with the IRS, I think, as a couple
00:57:40 <pikhq_> Though Google will pay you the difference. :P
00:57:59 <kmc> but for example child custody, health care decisions, etc. would be mostly state issues, no?
00:58:04 <Fiora> I know a couple who's basically waiting on it, though they can cheat because one of them could probably legitimately get papers saying she was either male or female depending on what the government insisted on
00:58:09 <pikhq_> Yes, those are entirely state issues.
00:58:23 <kmc> so yes it's not a full victory but I think saying it "doesn't matter" is wrong
00:58:37 <Fiora> yeah... I guess it matters in some ways? but like it's missing a lot of important parts
00:58:41 <kmc> also the more legally gay-married people exist, the more pressure there will be to repeal / strike down DOMA
00:59:03 <Bike> "hi we're married and fuck this thing"
00:59:04 <pikhq_> *Most* of the things dealing with marriage are state law issues actually.
00:59:06 <kmc> I generally get pissed off when people say "X is useless!" to mean "X isn't perfect", it happens a lot in discussions of computer security and things like that
00:59:15 <Fiora> yeah, that's not what I meant >_< more like, it loses a lot of it
00:59:23 <Fiora> I should have phrased it better
00:59:30 <pikhq_> Green card, IRS, and federal employment benefits are, like, it
00:59:42 <coppro> pikhq_: you should come visit canada, get hitched, and leave
01:00:05 <Bike> "You managed to upload an image so large that Danbooru 2's thumbnailing job gets whacked by the OOM killer" in other news
01:00:59 <shachaf> Bike: was it a specially-crafted compressed image or something
01:01:00 <Fiora> the whole bypassing-the-problem-by-being-trans thing is interesting though
01:01:06 <Fiora> like I know a couple of two gay men who have been married for like, 15 years
01:01:12 <Fiora> which I think is longer than any state has allowed gay marriage
01:01:26 <Bike> shachaf: apparently unintentional!
01:01:35 <shachaf> how much of a compression ratio can you get
01:01:49 <Bike> oh, it's animated.

01:02:19 <pikhq_> I know a couple that got divorced after one of them transitioned. That was interesting.
01:02:20 <Fiora> though it's maybe not as totally ridiculous as the thing that some lesbians apparently did back in the 70s, where one was younger than 18 and one was older, and they'd have the older one adopt the younger one to get legal/tax benefits @_@
01:02:30 <pikhq_> Poor guy, getting asked if he was the wife.
01:03:15 <pikhq_> (note that the legal status is that the legal gender status *at the time* is what matters. If it was heterosexual and is now gay that's just fine!)
01:03:34 <Fiora> yeah, it's kind of an odd legal loophole
01:03:44 <Bike> you're a peach, US legal system. an incomprehensible peach
01:06:34 <pikhq_> I wonder what happens if you have a gay marriage in a state and then it becomes straight?
01:07:33 <Fiora> I... that... I have no idea

01:07:47 <pikhq_> *There's* a confusing edge case for ya.
01:07:57 <Bike> iowa just implodes
01:08:01 <Fiora> the laws clearly need to be refactored or something
01:08:06 <Fiora> so that gender is no longer assumed to be const
01:08:20 <pikhq_> Or from the set {Male, Female}
01:08:46 <shachaf> does gender need to be mentioned
01:09:12 <pikhq_> I... guess it matters for people who are exclusively andro- or gynophilic?
01:09:13 <Bike> http://qntm.org/gay bla bla

01:23:20 <Bike> "(biology) Having no distinct sex, having no sexual organs." aha there we go

01:23:33 <shachaf> kmc: it means you have superpowers
01:23:39 <shachaf> kmc: vote for me next time hth
01:23:40 <Bike> this is CLEARLY not a doomed effort because sex is unambiguous
01:24:32 <pikhq_> Even friggin' biological notions of sex are complicated.
01:24:44 <Fiora> neuter....? though that's the name of a gender too :/
01:24:50 <Bike> "A statuette of Aphroditus in the anasyromenos pose. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the pose had apotropaic magical power." this is going well.

01:25:22 <Bike> hermaphroditic plants?? what's the deal
01:25:27 <Bike> i don't know the deal.
01:25:41 <Fiora> actually I kind of wonder like... why did animals ever stop being hermaphrodites
01:25:50 <kmc> imo read about sexual reproduction in fungi
01:26:03 <Fiora> like, isn't it more efficient to have two animals mate, and then they can *both* carry children, and stuff
01:26:07 <Bike> Fiora: that's one of the more old and controversial questions in evolutionary biology.
01:26:27 <Bike> i mean, it's interesting.
01:26:29 <katla> hey that's a really good question, why do so many species have two sexes?
01:26:58 <Fiora> I'm guessing it comes from the whole chromosomal thing? I mean like there's only a couple sex chromosome systems, right?
01:27:03 <Bike> As opposed to more, or as opposed to no differentiation?
01:27:07 <pikhq_> Fiora: There's several.
01:27:15 <pikhq_> Shit, there's two or three in the mammals.
01:27:22 <Fiora> there's... ZW, XY, X0, and temperature?
01:27:27 <Bike> there's also sexual differentiation systems not based on chromosomes
01:27:33 <pikhq_> Those are the common ones, Fiora.
01:27:33 <shachaf> Fiora: hey, do you want to be on `pbflist!!
01:27:40 <Bike> temperature for example isn't exclusive of ZW
01:27:41 <Fiora> "On November 3, 2010, scientists announced the discovery of a female Boa constrictor that can produce offspring without mating and, through such asexual reproduction, produced 22 female offspring" O_O
01:27:47 <shachaf> or, may i suggest......`pbflistdeluxe
01:28:06 <Fiora> "The platypus has a ten-chromosome–based system, where the chromosomes form a multivalent chain in male meiosis, segregating into XXXXX-sperm and YYYYY-sperm, with XY-equivalent chromosomes at one end of this chain and the ZW-equivalent chromosomes at the other end."
01:28:09 <Bike> Fiora: you didn't know about that? we've known about [iforgettheword] for years
01:28:16 <Bike> also yes platypi are fucking nuts
01:28:29 <Fiora> ZW is used by birds
01:28:33 <Fiora> and some other animals
01:28:34 <Bike> katla: sex chromosomes.
01:28:43 <Bike> Ugh, what's the damn word.
01:28:51 <Bike> For females reproducing w/o insemination
01:28:53 <shachaf> zzo38 should design some biological systems imo
01:28:55 <kmc> parthenogenesis
01:29:00 <Bike> yes. thank you.
01:29:03 <kmc> some reptiles can do it yeah
01:29:15 <kmc> if you poke a frog egg with a pin it will start to grow into a haploid frog (??)
01:29:27 <Bike> haha those experiments are the best.
01:29:35 <Bike> "how can we fuck up frog eggs... oh. oh wow"
01:29:46 <pikhq_> Sex determination is best described as "complex".
01:29:56 <Bike> Too bad the woman who started them died young :(
01:30:15 <Fiora> oh, parthanogenesis, that's the thing
01:30:40 <Fiora> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnemidophorus_neomexicanus oh woowwww
01:30:42 <Fiora> it's an all-female species
01:30:48 <Bike> imo, matriarchy
01:30:54 <Bike> ah yeah that's the lizard i was thinking of.
01:30:59 <Bike> I think they were on Bill Nye or something.
01:31:12 <pikhq_> But yeah. Many species have two distinct sexes simply because sexual reproduction works based off of combination of male and female gametes.
01:32:01 <kmc> the two mating types of yeast are conventionally known as "a" and "α"
01:32:29 <kmc> looks like ascomycetes typically have two mating types, while basidiomycetes can have thousands
01:32:31 <Bike> Oh huh, there's a word specifically for two-sex reproduction, "anisogamy"
01:32:39 <pikhq_> There's a protozoan with 7 sexes.
01:32:46 <Fiora> 7... sexes....? wow
01:32:58 <kmc> thousands beats 7
01:33:06 <Bike> there's also different kinds of anisogamy based on which cells are motile.
01:33:14 <Bike> kmc for president of mushroom sex
01:33:33 <pikhq_> It has two separate nuclei.
01:33:50 <Fiora> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basidiomycete#Smuts
01:33:51 <kmc> fungi do that too
01:33:55 <Fiora> there are basidiomycetes called "smuts"
01:34:13 <kmc> when the haploid mycelia meet, if the mating types are compatible, the nuclei spread out and you get cells with one from each
01:34:37 <kmc> and it's that organism which can produce spores and a fruiting body
01:34:40 <pikhq_> Ah, yeah, corn smut. :P
01:34:40 <kmc> wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee mushrooms
01:34:48 <Bike> Fiora: what i'm getting out of this is that i should refer to people without sex as "anamorphs" because everybody liked that series
01:34:50 <Fiora> kmc likes his mushrooms XD

01:43:42 <Bike> that's literally mold. we don't know how mold reproduces???

02:51:37 <Sgeo> I'm sure there was a better way to make that joke
02:59:04 <kmc> i'm sure there was a not-incomprehensible way to make that joke
02:59:25 <Fiora> I heard shachaf is like, a total expert on being non-incomprehensible
03:00:27 <shachaf> Fiora: What, you're an intuitionist now?
03:00:57 <Fiora> oh. you're being incomprehensible
03:01:03 <shachaf> I guess kmc was the intuitionist here.
03:01:12 <shachaf> Why do you keep saying I'm incomprehensible?
03:01:36 <Fiora> e-elliott said he felt that way toob ut..... sorry
03:01:44 <Bike> do you like not see how that conversation works
03:02:07 <Bike> "[incomprehensible joke]" "Why do you keep saying I'm incomprehensible?"
03:03:05 <shachaf> Fiora: Intuitionistic logic is logic where "not (not x)" doesn't necessarily imply "x".
03:03:38 <shachaf> You said not-incomprehensible. I thought it was a joke. But it turns out to be kmc's joke.
03:06:48 -!- mnoqy has joined.
03:09:34 <kmc> it wasn't a joke, it was double negation for emphasis
03:09:53 <kmc> if i said "i'm sure there was a comprehensible way to make that joke" it wouldn't have made the point as strongly that Sgeo's joke was incomprehensible
03:11:05 <Sgeo> Was trying to make a joke about the ubiquity of Mozilla/5.0
03:11:05 <kmc> not-not-false enough
03:11:11 <kmc> Sgeo: in user agents?
03:11:25 <shachaf> Fiora: Am I actually more incomprehensible than other people in here?
03:11:28 <kmc> well I haven't started working for Mozilla yet
03:12:24 <Fiora> shachaf: I... sorry I guess it kind of feels like that sometime...
03:12:33 <Fiora> elliott told me not to worry because it was normal to get confused...
03:14:42 <shachaf> How do I ask you a question without you feeling accused (or whatever it is)?
03:14:48 <kmc> shachaf makes a lot of oblique jokes
03:14:59 <shachaf> Anyway, I suspect elliott was joking when he said that, though I can't say for sure.
03:15:14 <zzo38> There are other kind of logic too, other than intuitionistic logic.
03:15:31 <shachaf> like non-intuitionistic logic and non-non-intuitionistic logic
03:15:33 <Fiora> I thought he was trying to ocomfort me...
03:15:36 <Fiora> now I'm confused...
03:16:48 <shachaf> I think something like "don't worry, it's normal to get confused when shachaf says something" is a sort of friendly way of making fun of me... But maybe I'm the one who doesn't comprehend!
03:16:55 <zzo38> There is modal logic, too.

03:33:58 <shachaf> oh this is a magic: the gathering thing
03:34:12 <lexande> anyway the transliterations of my name into cyrillic and arabic were chosen for me by russian and sudanese customs/immigration officials respectively

03:35:23 <Bike> That's pretty travelly.
03:37:15 <lexande> there tend to be pretty canonical transliterations of "Alexander" into most languages
03:37:29 <Bike> mm, it's super old, i guess.
03:37:32 <lexande> thanks to a certain ambitious macedonian
03:37:32 <kmc> iskandar al-akbar
03:37:33 <Bike> Also that one guy.
03:37:41 <lexande> i don't like the chinese one though
03:37:51 <lexande> because who ever heard of a four-character first name in chinese
03:38:10 <Bike> I've heard of almost no first names in Chinese, admittedly
03:38:34 <Bike> clearly they should have gone for a semantic translation, i bet "defender of man" is shorter
03:40:09 <lexande> the characters are something like, asia history mountain large
03:40:32 <mnoqy> thats a pretty good name
03:42:38 <lexande> but i figure i can get by with the last two, which also makes it a lot easier to write
03:44:35 <lexande> but i think i'm stuck with the surname 拉普 since i found a people's daily article referring to my father with that surname
03:46:50 <lexande> as for ge'ez, uh probably ለከሰነደረ or ለከሰነደ
03:57:58 <zzo38> I have put my own name into Japanese by translating "Aaron" normally but translating "Black" by the meaning instead.

07:05:46 <zzo38> If the probability of some event is 200%, and then after that probability is calculated you will toss a coin, and if it comes up heads then you will cancel it, then does that make the event certain?
07:06:14 <shachaf> What is a probability of 200%?
07:06:47 <zzo38> Twice as much as a probability of 100%, of course.
07:08:16 <zzo38> That is what it means!
07:09:00 <Bike> these are new and strange probability axioms, zzo.
07:09:52 <zzo38> They are new? I thought they are the same as the other one except that I wrote "200%" and so on.
07:11:42 <Bike> you can't have events with p > 1 under kolmogorov axioms.
07:12:03 <zzo38> Perhaps I didn't explain very well. This might be better: There is a device that has a 200% chance of functioning if it is activated. You will toss a fair coin, and if it comes up tails you will activate the device and if it is heads then you won't activate it. From these premises, is it certain that the device will function?
07:12:33 <Bike> seriously, i just see "200%" and stop reading, what does that mean.
07:14:00 <zzo38> Can you explain what a probability of something means in general rather than in specific?
07:16:33 <Bike> ok, well, the probability axioms go like this.
07:17:15 <Bike> first you have a set called the "sample space", which is stuff that can happen. you define a sigma-algebra on that, the "events", subsets of the sample space. and you have a probability measure : event -> [0,1]
07:18:36 <Bike> the first axiom is that the probability measure is always positive (implied by my type signature but w/e). the second is that P(the whole sample space) = 1. the third is that P(countable union of events) = sum P(each event in the union)
07:19:29 <Bike> this implies for instance that A subset B -> P(A) <= P(B), and along with the second axiom this makes "200% probability" incoherent.
07:19:31 <mnoqy> disjoint union right
07:19:35 <Bike> so, if you mean something else, you should explain that.
07:19:39 <Bike> disjoint union, yeah.
07:20:06 <zzo38> Yes, I can see how, but what you omit the first axiom and type signature?
07:20:53 <zzo38> Anyways, I think the first axiom is wrong even in ordinary probabilities because it could be zero which doesn't count as a positive number.
07:21:40 <mnoqy> it's "nonnegative", yes
07:22:14 <zzo38> Then you should write that, if that is what you mean!
07:22:21 <mnoqy> i didn't write it!! bike did!!

17:30:23 <Bike> i don't know why i did the axiom thing. that was dumb and sucked. fyi.
17:33:50 <elliott> are you talking about the axiom CAS, or...
17:34:35 <Bike> no i just responded to zzo with quotation instead of asking him what the heck he meatn
17:37:12 <zzo38> It doesn't necessarily imply that the individual events are not more than one if you are using divergent series, though, I think.
17:37:45 <zzo38> (If you do it so that some collections cannot be separated from others)
17:39:36 <zzo38> Also, if you make up the probability of a random number 0 to 1, the total probability will still be 1 even though all of the individual number being exactly is 0, so it still doesn't work.

18:03:52 <zzo38> If you want to make up a Famicom cartridge with expansion audio, I think that other than the standard chips included in NROM cartridges, only a AY-3-8910 is added; it will work if you connect it to the PPU address bus. You can even get bank switching if you do this, without needing any other logic for bank switching.
18:04:59 <zzo38> (However, you will not be able to change the music or the bank during rendering.)

20:13:53 <oerjan> *sigh* turns out screen ruins the use of the pgup/pgdn keys on my numpad (turning them into 9 and 3 keys regardless of my laptop's general setting), which are of course the most sanely placed versions on this keyboard.
20:15:00 <oerjan> (that's screen on debian started remotely via putty on windows, fwiw)
20:17:57 <oerjan> ooh that's even installed
20:19:23 <coppro> oerjan: I stopped at "ruins" since that statement is always true
20:19:49 <oerjan> dtach is _not_ installed yet though...
20:20:45 <elliott> dtach is great because it doesn't do anything.
20:20:50 <elliott> I know whatever terminal problem I have it's not dtach's fault.
20:21:00 <elliott> oerjan: btw, that sounds like a putty misconfiguration
20:21:04 <elliott> check you don't have "nethack mode" or whatever on
20:21:11 <elliott> or maybe I'm misremembering
20:21:24 <Lumpio-> I... I don't think screen even knows about your numpads and whatnot
20:21:45 <oerjan> elliott: it's set at "Normal" also pgdn/pgup works fine if _not_ using screen.
20:21:48 <Lumpio-> Probably something wrong with your terminal emulator.
20:22:16 <oerjan> Lumpio-: screen always emulates vt100, afaiu
20:22:49 <Lumpio-> Well I don't see any difference with pageup/down between screen and not screen
20:22:50 <coppro> oerjan: you can change a config setting to make it poorly emulate something else

20:24:04 <Lumpio-> yes I tried both actual pagedown and numpad pagedown
20:24:08 <Lumpio-> No difference whatsoever on my setup.

22:08:50 <pikhq_> *Goodness* this DOMA strikedown makes things interesting/confusing.
22:09:36 <pikhq_> It is now possible to be married on a federal level but not a state level.
22:09:55 <oerjan> ...it got turned upside down? :P
22:10:11 <Bike> gay marriage: the exact opposite of pot
22:10:35 <Fiora> is marriage done on a federal level? I thought it was handled by states, and the law was about whether or not the federal government acknowledged it
22:10:40 <Bike> it's kinda funny they didn't touch section 2 even though it looks like the opposite of article iv of the constitution
22:10:41 <Fiora> and there's the whole full faith and credit thing (?)
22:11:16 <pikhq_> Fiora: In this case, the fed. would acknowledge marriage done in any state.
22:11:27 <pikhq_> But your state of residence might *not* acknowledge it.
22:11:41 <pikhq_> So, from a federal POV you are married.
22:11:46 <pikhq_> But not from your state's.
22:11:48 <Fiora> so like, if someone got married in california, some other state is legally allowed to not acknowledge it?
22:11:57 <Bike> yeah, that's what section 2 does.
22:12:11 <Fiora> isn't that... a violation of article 4 section 1? @_@
22:12:17 <Bike> With... some oddities, like Oklahoma being forced to put an adoptive gay couple on a kid's birth certificate
22:12:25 <Bike> because yeah it's pretty blatantly unconstitutional
22:12:40 <Fiora> what's with the "marriage tourism" thing then, where people visit another state to get married, how does that work
22:13:21 <pikhq_> Fiora: People feel as though going through the "marriage" thing officializes the relationship.
22:13:58 <Bike> and it probably will once the stupid thing dies, but.
22:14:27 <Fiora> huh it says in some places that they just outright struck the law, but some people are saying only section 3...?
22:14:32 <pikhq_> Bike: I think they could sue for back taxes. :P
22:14:37 <pikhq_> Fiora: It was only section 3.
22:14:51 <pikhq_> Section 2 was simply not affected by this case.
22:14:58 <pikhq_> (it was literally not at issue ever)
22:15:23 <pikhq_> It'll probably get contested soon, what with being a *blatant* violation of full faith and credit.
22:15:37 <Bike> supremecourt.gov doesn't work at all w/o www :(
22:15:58 <Bike> anyway US v. windsor, right? http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-307_g2bh.pdf
22:16:18 <Fiora> wikipedia said "Section 2, which allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where such marriage is legal, was not at issue in the Windsor case but the entire Defense of Marriage Act was deemed unconstitutional" but I don't know
22:16:22 <Bike> if anyone wants to see it themselves (i already read a supreme court decision this month, that's enough)
22:16:31 <Bike> Fiora: i saw that too but it looked like a shitty edit.
22:16:34 <Bike> i mean, you know. wikipedia.
22:16:54 <Bike> Anyway the decision's there if you want to find out for real.
22:18:37 <pikhq_> It says "Section 2 was not at issue". But it also says "DOMA is unconstitutional."
22:20:23 <Bike> maybe i should read it just to get infuriated at whatever scalia's dissent is (no)

22:32:45 <kmc> er that's a draft version, the final is "And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof."
22:34:16 -!- itsy has left.
22:34:22 <pikhq_> That states that Congress may regulate how the acts of other states shall be demonstrated.
22:34:38 -!- Lymia has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
22:34:42 <pikhq_> It does not give Congress any way to *prevent* the application.
22:35:37 <pikhq_> Which is to say, Congress may regulate marriage certificates. The forms themselves.
22:36:02 <kmc> this has been ruled in a previous court case?
22:37:05 <pikhq_> This was the basis on which interracial marriage was legalized.
22:38:10 <Bike> ? was there a DOMA analogue?
22:38:50 <TeruFSX> there was never an anti-interracial-marriage DOMA
22:39:09 <TeruFSX> i think interracial marriages were always recognized where they were legal
22:39:15 <elliott> whoa, I just realised who TeruFSX is.
22:42:24 <Bike> Oh man. The reason HK refused to extradite Snowden was because they got his middle name wrong (and one other thing, but)

23:40:57 <Sgeo> Ctrl-C-ing TOOK A MINUTE OR TWO
23:41:05 <Sgeo> Ctrl-C SHOULD NEVER TAKE THAT LONG
23:50:32 <Sgeo> How did I ever survive on 512 MB when I was younge?
23:50:55 <kmc> software was simpler
23:51:11 <pikhq_> And designed with 512 MiB in mind.
23:53:51 <Fiora> it's kind of interesting to see how like, game memory usages seem to have stopped growing at around ~2GB for the past few years
23:53:59 <Sgeo> http://www.theonion.com/articles/register-number-one,32928/
23:54:03 <Fiora> because if they went beyond that they'd have to drop 32-bit support, I think
23:54:05 <Sgeo> A neutral character in a Kelly comic???
23:54:17 <kmc> when RAM is not as scarce, you can develop programs faster, make them less buggy and more secure, and more people can help
23:54:36 <kmc> seems a reasonable tradeoff for buying $15 more of RAM imo
23:55:05 <kmc> a lot of people cry "software bloat" but that's usually an arrogant, lazy non-explanation
23:56:17 <Fiora> I'm guessing with games a lot of it is taking advantage of the extra memory to store textures or the like, and keeping track of a really big world state
23:56:31 <Sgeo> Eclipse and Tomcat servlets are not games
23:57:10 <kmc> Sgeo: the only winning move is not to play
23:57:25 <kmc> maybe it's because a lot of games are cross-platform and the Xbox 360 specs have been the same since 2005
23:57:30 <kmc> it only has 512 MB of RAM (!)
23:57:45 <Fiora> I don't think I've played many games that are console ports recently
23:57:50 <Sgeo> Tried using NetBeans. At least got an IDE that lagged only at sensible times
23:57:54 <Fiora> well. like. I have but I've played them on consoles <.<
23:58:05 <Sgeo> Ctrl-C was still hell though
23:58:29 <Fiora> (the real reason we need lots of RAM though is so I can run ECM factoring on tswett's number)
23:58:38 <Bike> i think sixty seconds to end a program being hell is a bit overblown, although maybe i'm saying that because i'm looking at a picture of a kid with his skull ripped up.
23:59:22 <pikhq_> The PS3 has similar amounts of RAM.
23:59:40 <Bike> elliott: huh what
23:59:51 <elliott> Bike: sixty seconds to end a program is just the first circle.
