04:54:03 <ion> Larry Graham is pretty cool, too. He invented the slap bass technique. We seem to have enough samples to make an extrapolation about all people named Graham.
04:54:24 <kmc> what about graham's number
04:54:55 <oerjan> well that's an outlier by nearly all measure
04:54:55 <kmc> fuck sylvester graham tho

04:55:38 <newsham> how do you explain s'mores?
04:55:51 <kmc> I don't fucking understand why people get so upset about teenagers masturbating
04:55:54 <prooftechnique> newsham: An invitation to debauchery
04:56:01 <Bike> they'll go blind
04:56:12 <prooftechnique> kmc: Zinc deficiency is killing our kids
04:56:25 <kmc> isn't it healthier and more harmless than basically anything else they'd be doing
04:57:33 <kmc> here's an activity that feels good, is good for you, requires no special equipment and consumes almost no resources... WE MUST STOP IT AT ALL COSTS
04:58:04 <Bike> way to be a shill for the masturbation lobby
04:58:12 <newsham> "tell a doctor if you experience uncontrolled muscle movement, as this can become permanent"
04:58:15 <newsham> wtf.
04:58:20 <newsham> why do peopel buy these poisons?
04:58:31 <kmc> Bike: they're just looking for a handout

04:58:35 <prooftechnique> Which poison is this?
04:58:52 <oerjan> dihydrogen monoxide
04:58:58 <newsham> "abilify"
04:59:04 <prooftechnique> Oh, that
04:59:54 <prooftechnique> Well, I imagine if you're depressed the idea of uncontrolled muscle movement has to be weighed against crushing emptiness
05:00:17 <newsham> you know whas worse than the feeling of crushing emptiness?
05:00:26 <newsham> actual literal crushing emptiness
05:00:26 <Bike> abilify, jesus

05:01:06 <Bike> oh hey it's got chlorines...
05:01:38 <newsham> i imagine people would be better if someone just sold them some pot or even some crack or heroin
05:02:02 <Bike> when you assume, you make an

05:03:20 <ion> presumption
05:03:40 <Bike> disjunction
05:03:45 <kmc> I would guess that something named "aripiprazole" is harder to market
05:04:08 <prooftechnique> Also harder to say
05:04:16 <newsham> best part about smoking pot: doesn't give you parkinson's disease
05:04:24 <Bike> it's not my fault the public is inadequately knowledgeable about orgo
05:04:53 <Bike> parkinsonism isn't parkinson's disease.
05:05:26 -!- conehead has joined.
05:05:57 <prooftechnique> newsham: I would say there are certain even better parts to smoking pot
05:06:12 <kmc> you realize that the side effects don't happen to everyone right?
05:06:16 <kmc> and that crack is also known to have side effects
05:06:34 <newsham> no, kmc, this did not occur to me
05:06:49 <prooftechnique> Including crack addiction and being fun at parties
05:06:59 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol#Isomerism huh, that's interesting
05:07:13 <kmc> that's good stuff
05:07:22 <newsham> proof: you realize that not everyone that takes crack is fun at parties
05:07:47 <kmc> not everyone that takes crack is mayor of toronto
05:07:47 <prooftechnique> newsham: Damn, you're right
05:07:49 <Bike> if orgo people embraced the combinatorics inherent in the field i would be one happy camper
05:08:00 <Bike> no word on whether i'd be a high camper
05:08:09 <kmc> Bike: I had an idea that orgo synthesis is like proofs
05:08:27 <Bike> long if you're doing anything nontrivial, and nobody reads them?
05:08:31 <kmc> hehe
05:08:41 <kmc> you have a system of formal objects (labeled graphs, rather than strings), and certain templated manipulations on them
05:08:45 * Bike still burnt out after learning cortisone synthesis
05:08:48 <kmc> and you need to derive a result from some available premises
05:08:51 <kmc> but this breaks down in all kinds of ways
05:09:10 <kmc> aiui a lot of the steps are like "this will yield between 5% and 95% and nobody knows why"
05:09:11 <Bike> yeah, like when you need to do some spectrometry to verify that you've gotten the right product
05:09:28 <kmc> Bike: tell me about cortisone synthesis
05:09:39 <kmc> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/CubaneSynthesis.png
05:09:52 <Bike> there's a biochemist nanotech guy in #lisp doing something horrifying with SMILES. i tried reading one of his papers and holy shit he was like inventing his own analog of proteins??
05:10:35 <Bike> well, i was reading my intro endocrinology book and it mentioned that cortisone production was the hardest thing ever attempted by the pharm industry (this was in the 60s)
05:11:02 <Sgeo> I have no idea what music is playing on the 3d version
05:11:09 <Bike> the natural methods involved, like, getting several thousand tons of cattle, ripping out a few glands, extracting certain chemicals, and ending up with a yield on the order of grams, so i could see why they'd want to do synthesis
05:11:10 <Sgeo> Seems to be encoded via LAME though
05:11:17 <Sgeo> http://animuchan.net/moz_game/media/audio/music.mp3
05:11:26 <kmc> also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octanitrocubane which would be the best explosive ever if anybody could manage to make it
05:11:37 <Bike> so i looked it up and it was like, you started out with this complex organic thing that was already produced
05:11:57 <kmc> hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane
05:12:01 <Bike> and then you went through, literally, over twenty steps, some of which take over a day, and half of which came with spectrograms to verify that it worked
05:12:04 <kmc> is an exciting word
05:12:18 <Bike> and that got you a precursor, which through three more twenty-step procedures got you another compound
05:12:24 <Bike> and that other compound had a known path to cortisone.
05:13:08 <prooftechnique> Octanitrocubane sounds like a metal band
05:14:09 <kmc> newsham: I find weed to be pretty effective at treating acute symptoms of depression and anxiety, but it doesn't really help me in the long term when I'm not stoned
05:14:15 <kmc> except in the sense that it's nice to have a fucking break
05:14:24 <kmc> also, it's not always helpful
05:14:37 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_Calvin_Kendall_nobel.jpg edward kendall is watching you kill animals
05:14:38 <prooftechnique> Ketamine works wonders
05:14:46 <kmc> frequently makes anxiety worse, although indica strains less so in my recent experience
05:14:50 <kmc> prooftechnique: i've heard that
05:15:17 <kmc> I used to take 5HT psychedelics every few weeks and that was pretty effective too, but I don't think I'm up for it anymore
05:15:36 <Jafet> fizzie should make an IUPAC name generator
05:15:56 <Bike> huh, tetrahedrane is harder to synthesize than truncated icosahedron -ane

05:18:19 <quintopia> when i asked you guys which game i should play next you all either said Braid or Bastion. No one picked Limbo. And Limbo is so much more fun than Braid.
05:19:02 <shachaf> i didn't say either one
05:20:02 <kmc> wait CBD isn't a scheduled drug at all? interesting
05:20:11 <kmc> unless it's derived from the demon reefer, of course
05:21:08 <pikhq> As we all know, what makes something "bad" is actually its origin.
05:21:30 <pikhq> This is why I use only pipes made of free-range lead.

05:22:01 <prooftechnique> quintopia: ^
05:22:49 <Bike> kmc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol#Isomerism i like how different isomers are scheduled differently
05:23:59 <Bike> kmc: actually now that i think about it that's another flaw with the labeled graphs thing, you need to distinguish isomers...
05:24:53 <prooftechnique> Bike: Colorings!
05:25:08 <Bike> explain?
05:25:23 <kmc> yeah
05:25:32 <kmc> coming up with a good formal model of the molecules is non-trivial, but could be done
05:25:37 <kmc> that's what systemic naming is already about
05:25:45 <kmc> but I think formally modeling the reaction steps is the really hard part
05:25:53 <prooftechnique> I dunno. I was just thinking that colorings of the graphs could be used to represent isomers
05:26:07 <Bike> i'm seriously pretty skeptical that IUPAC nomenclature is actually used for anything more complicated than like, dopamine
05:26:25 <Bike> and god i have no idea how organic reactions work.
05:26:39 <Bike> i hear in orgo 1 classes you have to memorize a shitload of reactions because they don't tell you the theory until orgo 2 ;_;
05:27:45 <kmc> yeah
05:28:08 <Bike> perhaps i can fix this with a bit of pauling, who explains quantum before table salt
05:28:09 <quintopia> prooftechnique: Limbo reminded me of ayim at times
05:28:29 <prooftechnique> Yeah, I could see that
05:28:38 <quintopia> prooftechnique: but ayim plays in one hour, while Limbo manages to last 3.
05:28:48 <prooftechnique> Fair
05:28:54 <prooftechnique> Bike: Pauling is awesome
05:28:57 <kmc> also at my school ochem was at 9 in the morning and was one of the few classes with in-class tests and quizzes
05:29:02 <prooftechnique> And I'm not exactly into chem
05:29:23 <Bike> prooftechnique: i have an undergrad textbook he wrote.
05:29:28 <Bike> it's kinda dated but still pauling
05:29:52 <pikhq> Bike: Yep, chemistry education seems to pretend that injecting a book in your head is the important part.
05:30:06 <Bike> it's so sad! i honestly love the theory
05:30:35 <Bike> i can kind of understand why they'd want to back away from it, you need to be able to do like, quantum electrothermodynamics
05:30:56 <Bike> which, honestly, in my not-fully-a-chemist career i'm never going to use, so
05:32:11 <kmc> Bike: as long as you know enough to synthesize LSD for me
05:32:40 <Bike> "following a recipe without burning myself alive" will hopefully be in my capabilities

06:41:46 <oklopol> oh i read "admired by"
06:42:01 <oklopol> i was wondering how you could possibly know that
06:42:26 <Zom-B|zz> i first read admin -ed
06:42:40 <Zom-B|zz> David Morgan-Mar only did some comics ther (found via te authors tab)
06:43:01 <oerjan> david morgan-mar's own blog, dangermouse.net, is _not_ linked immediately from any obvious place in mezzacotta though, i think.
06:43:56 <Zom-B|zz> maybe i'll send him a note about my piet-inspired Floater
06:43:57 <oerjan> Zom-B|zz: irregular webcomic was dmm's personal comic. he's starting up a new personal comic in april btw
06:44:17 <quintopia> who is manyhills?
06:44:43 <oerjan> and darths & droids is not dmm's comic alone, but it has a small set of authors (all his coworkers, i believe)
06:44:59 <Zom-B|zz> i'm still in the progress of making a mandelbrot fractal ans other stuff in Floater, but as expected my job is slurping all my time
06:45:03 <oerjan> the rest on there is collaborative in some way or other
06:45:04 <Zom-B|zz> which i have to go to now

06:49:19 <oerjan> quintopia: i don't know manyhills other than from seeing him on that site, but i think Taneb knew him from some other place too
06:49:59 <oerjan> well i _vaguely_ recall he may have been here on the channel some time i wasn't.
06:50:09 <oerjan> or wasn't paying enough attention.
06:51:57 <oerjan> Bike: hm isn't only one of the dogs a cat? not that i pay much attention to achewood
06:52:08 <Bike> i don't either

06:53:54 <oerjan> oh i think i was thinking of get fuzzy

07:54:38 <fizzie> Right.
07:54:54 <fizzie> Given that they have so much structure.
07:55:09 <fizzie> Random pubchem IUPAC entry: 2-acetamido-3-[[2-acetamido-3-[[4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxycyclohexyl)oxyoxan-3-yl]amino]-3-oxopropyl]disulfanyl]-N-[4,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxycyclohexyl)oxyoxan-3-yl]propanamide
07:57:56 <Bike> i get lost as soon as mido- :/
07:59:24 <Bike> not sure about oxyoxan either
08:01:23 <Bike> kind of unbelievable how complicated "2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxycyclohexyl" is, since the actual structure really isn't

08:07:30 <Jafet> For improbable values of possible

08:08:02 <Bike> yes, they indicate a side chain

08:13:14 <oerjan> what's the IUPAC for buckminsterfullerene
08:13:26 <Bike> haha someone's actually synthesized cyclohexacontane
08:13:42 <Bike> (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene, how boring

08:15:07 <oerjan> have they made a fake chemistry paper generator yet

08:15:23 <oerjan> figures
08:15:33 <fizzie> (C\{60}-I\{h})[5,6]fullerene seems to be PubChem's syntax for subscripts, good to know.
08:15:34 <Bike> i can't believe this compound exists. imagine buckministerfullerene except all the carbons are just in a stupid circle
08:15:45 <Bike> fizzie: OH BOY more markup ;_;

13:30:44 <fizzie> The ones that are like "1" are quite boring, but that's more or less a limitation of the framework; there are a number of names that consist of a single "component", and there are a number of dash-separated components that consist of a single digit, so the resulting PCFG will have a reasonably high likelihood for generating a single-digit name, since it can't model dependencies like that.

18:00:16 <kmc> also, it's fun how these two C functions produce completely different results:

18:00:17 <kmc> size_t g() { int x[10]; return sizeof(x); }
18:00:46 <kmc> because int *x, int x[], int x[5], and int x[10] are entirely equivalent as function arguments, but not elsewhere
18:02:33 <Taneb> Wow
18:13:40 <myname> is that any surprising?
18:15:13 <Taneb> kmc, what about int x[][10]?
18:19:02 <Bike> srand (time ^ $$ ^ unpack "%L*", `ps axww | gzip -f`); <-- lol
18:19:23 <kmc> Taneb: as an argument? that'd be the same as int **x I think
18:19:57 <kmc> myname: I think it's pretty weird and bad; it doesn't surprise me anymore because I know C well
18:21:14 <fizzie> kmc: No, it would be the same as int (*x)[10].
18:21:33 <Zom-B|aw> pointer and int have same size , no?
18:21:35 <kmc> but isn't that the same as int **x, when used as a function argument?
18:21:46 <myname> kmc: well, c is weird and bad :p
18:21:53 <kmc> Zom-B|aw: not guaranteed, and often not in practice
18:22:00 <fizzie> No.
18:22:02 <kmc> for example on amd64 linux
18:22:03 <fizzie> [20:22:38] <fizzie> ,cc size_t f(int x[][10]) { return sizeof *x; } printf("%zu", f(0));
18:22:06 <fizzie> [20:22:40] <candide> fizzie: 40
18:22:15 <kmc> hm
18:22:19 <kmc> okay, I see
18:22:28 <fizzie> [20:23:09] <fizzie> ,cc size_t f(int **x) { return sizeof *x; } printf("%zu", f(0));
18:22:31 <fizzie> [20:23:11] <candide> fizzie: 8
18:22:32 <fizzie> For completeness.
18:22:36 <kmc> that's even weirder -_-
18:22:46 <quintopia> fizzie: who is manyhills
18:22:56 <kmc> I presume int x[10][10] would work the same?
18:23:11 <Zom-B|aw> there's a reason why i hate c
18:23:22 <fizzie> Yes. It's only the "first level" of arrayness that is altered to be a pointer in a function parameter.
18:23:24 <kmc> Zom-B|aw: if you need a pointer-size integral type there's intptr_t and uintptr_t
18:23:29 <kmc> also ptrdiff_t
18:24:31 <fizzie> With intptr_t/uintptr_t, it's good to keep in mind that the only guaranteed use is from an arbitrary (object) pointer to (u)intptr_t and back again; not from an arbitrary-valued (u)intptr_t to pointer.
18:24:53 <kmc> what are some other examples of bizarre and surprising behavior from C? maybe in the spirit of the JavaScript "Wat" talk
18:24:59 <kmc> integer promotion rules for sure...
18:25:50 <Bike> "chars aren't very good characters"\
18:26:25 <fizzie> Some of the rules involving mixed signed/unsigned values are quite confusing.
18:30:39 <fizzie> Fun fact (disclaimer: from memory, haven't checked): glibc implements some of the <ctype.h> functions (int isprint(int) etc.) using a pointer to the 128th element of a 384-element look-up table, because those are spec'd to take an 'unsigned char' value as an int but presumably people on plain-char-is-signed systems kept passing negative numbers instead.
18:31:41 <fizzie> Arguably, the fact that isprint(c) for a char c can be undefined is surprising?
18:35:12 <fizzie> ("In all cases the argument is an int, the value of which shall be representable as an unsigned char or shall equal the value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined." C11 7.4p1)
18:35:28 <Zom-B|aw> complex pointer arithmetic that's just as hard to port to a high language as spaghetti code
18:36:34 <fizzie> Also the function-returning-a-pointer-to-function syntax is p. horrible, but maybe it doesn't coun as "bizarre and surprising".
18:38:05 <fizzie> int (*f(long))(char); declares 'f' as a function that takes one long as an argument, and returns an int (*)(char), i.e., a pointer to a function that takes a char and returns an int.
18:38:32 <Bike> it counts as bizarre fo sho
18:40:45 <fizzie> Then there's the "pointer to a function can't be converted to void *" thing, but maybe that's somewhat mild.
18:42:14 <Zom-B|aw> <fizzie> Also the function-returning-a-pointer-to-function syntax <- solved that with subclassing
18:42:20 <Taneb> Finally set my laptop up to use my bouncer

18:43:14 <fizzie> I have no idea what "subclassing" means in the context of C.
18:43:53 <Zom-B|aw> in context of a higher language
18:44:01 <Zom-B|aw> when porting code
18:44:15 <Zom-B|aw> also, on the other hand, i hate, how, in high languages, you can't fill an array with 64 bytes and then just 'read' 16 floats from it
18:45:05 <kmc> oh, yeah, signed char is a good one
18:45:06 <Zom-B|aw> time-consuming conversions required where no conversion is actually necessary
18:45:54 -!- nisstyre has joined.
18:46:30 <fizzie> Them BSDs define a "dlfunc" that's exactly like dlsym except it returns a dlfunc_t, an unspecified pointer-to-function type.
18:46:35 <kmc> Zom-B|aw: a lot of things like that in C are not technically allowed, and they happen to work on most common systems, but the compiler is within its rights to slap you for it (i.e. produce code you would consider "buggy" or even perversely wrong)
18:46:38 <Jafet> It's a good thing that high-level languages don't let people like you think you can coerce values wherever you want
18:46:45 <Jafet> (r)(tm)
18:47:37 <kmc> I like that Rust lets you go between byte-vector and string with no copy -- it's just a cast, and (in one direction) a scan to make sure it's valid UTF-8
18:47:50 <kmc> and this is safe
18:48:13 <fizzie> A lot of things like that cause x86-specific code to fail when compiled on a system that cares about alignment. (The university computer science classrooms used to be all SPARC, and it was quite the nest of SIGBUS.)
18:48:33 <kmc> it's unfortunate that the str API exposes its UTF-8-ness, though
18:48:43 <Jafet> I think std::string is now officially required to give you free casts to char const*
18:48:45 <kmc> it's full of functions that operate on byte offsets and can fail at runtime
18:49:01 <kmc> Jafet: interesting; does that mean they need to store a NULL byte always?
18:49:09 <kmc> Rust strings are not like that and so .with_c_str or whatever can copy :/
18:49:18 <Jafet> Well, nobody cried because every stdlib did that already
18:49:34 <Zom-B|aw> usually my alignment requirements are all aligned
18:50:06 <Jafet> I was surprised to learn that ARM now silently makes unaligned accesses work, like x86 does
18:50:32 <fizzie> Jafet: Was it ARM where you could have a misaligned read silently return a rotated result?
18:51:08 <Jafet> I don't know, but I think ARMv5 raised an exception
18:52:59 <fizzie> Anecdotal information from random forum: "In fact none of [the ARM cores] complains by default. Some return rotated data, some others force the two LSB to 0. Some allow to trap unaligned access, others don't."
18:53:19 <kmc> damn
18:53:27 <kmc> I thought ISAs were generally supposed to be free of undefined behavior

19:54:52 <newsham> kmc: heh.. who ever told you such a thing? :)
19:55:42 <newsham> lots of archs leave undefined behavior, like requiring the compiler to fill a delay slot with an instruction after a load or get undefined results
19:55:57 <newsham> gives wiggle room for future optimization
19:56:25 <kmc> ok
19:56:48 <newsham> re: aligned accesses, ARM cpus often have a register to control if they should trap or be handled.
19:57:30 <newsham> also unaligned access on ARM prob does something you dont expect (ie. the rotation of the unaligned data)
19:57:30 <kmc> but that's more like unspecified behavior than undefined behavior, as C uses those terms, right?
19:58:13 <newsham> hrmm.. i dont know. my guess would be more like C undefined behavior...
19:58:15 <kmc> I mean in the slot after a load you might read the old value or the new one or some garbage, but it won't render the entire program from that point on meaningless
19:58:30 <kmc> or is that not the case?
19:58:44 <newsham> but what about a more aggressive optimization that does speculative computation with O-O-O and reordering?
19:59:00 <newsham> wouldnt that sometimes lead to pretty unpredictable corruption of your future program?
19:59:16 <newsham> honeslty I dont know the answer.. would have to look at the fine print

21:15:11 <lexande> the fact that mathematica's array indexing starts from 1 (and not 0 as it obviously should) came up after class yesterday
21:15:17 <lexande> the mathematicians present blamed the computer scientists and the computer scientists present blamed the mathematicians
21:15:34 <lexande> each side having assumed based on mathematica that that was how the other side did it
21:16:03 <Zom-B|aw> hm
21:16:19 <Zom-B|aw> math was invented before the 0, computers after
21:16:32 <Bike_> shoulda blamed the biologists
21:17:12 <Bike_> i was also invented after zero
21:17:21 <lexande> Bike_: yeah that seems more correct, unite against a common enemy. though really we should probably just blame and unite against Wolfram.
21:17:33 <Bike_> hm good point fuck that guy
21:17:45 <Zom-B|aw> you could say your blueprints were 99.99% done long before that

21:29:52 <Bicyclidine> thank god we got that sorted
21:32:07 <lexande> well the mathematicians present were all set theorists, so of course counting starts from 0 since sets start from \emptyset
21:32:39 <Bicyclidine> what about nonwellfounded sets huh
21:39:25 <lexande> umm, the smallest set still has zero elements
21:42:48 <Bicyclidine> yeah... well................
