07:17:52 <Sgeo> I was about to complain about scrolling on Android, but pretty sure it's just this one app
07:21:49 <Lymia> After reading a lot of papers on the state of modern machine learning
07:22:18 <Lymia> I'm convinced that the technique used now is "Come up with a not-too clever algorithm, throw ungodly amounts of CPU time at it"
07:25:42 <fizzie> That's certainly the case for speech.
07:26:45 <fizzie> Or, well, I guess that depends on the definition of "not too clever".
07:27:58 <Lymia> Plain back-propergation on ginormous neural networks with ginormous amounts of processing power
07:28:30 <fizzie> It's not quite that.
07:28:45 -!- Patashu has joined.
07:28:53 <fizzie> There's generally a RBM-based pretraining of the network.
07:28:58 <fizzie> (For speech, I mena.)
07:29:10 <fizzie> s/mena/mean/
07:30:34 <fizzie> But it is certainly true that people have been steadily dropping the handcrafted-over-the-years feature stuff (frequency axis warpings and MFCCs and such) in favour of simpler and simpler things, and just trusting that the network figures out the best feature representation.
07:30:51 <fizzie> A couple of people are even feeding in time domain signals, and raw FFT spectra are positively commonplace.
07:31:14 <fizzie> Also I guess there's some promising results from RNNs.
07:32:35 <Lymia> http://arxiv.org/pdf/1202.2745v1.pdf < One of the papers I've found. There's a lot of fancy stuff, but, the core algorithm still seems to be "back-propergation works, let's throw a bunch of CPU time at it"
07:33:49 <fizzie> If you have access to non-open-access journals, http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MSP.2012.2205597 is a reasonably good (if already two years old) review of the state of the speech stuff.
07:34:35 <Lymia> Let's check my college
07:35:25 <fizzie> It's rather overview-y, since it's from Signal Processing Magazine, one of those glossy things.
07:36:39 <Lymia> Not in my college's library, unfortunely.
07:37:38 <fizzie> Well, http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TASL.2011.2134090 is kind of one of the "major" papers that introduced the current standard speech approach.
07:38:57 <Lymia> Remind me in, like, 4 months when I change colleges!
07:39:11 <fizzie> Probably TASLP is not any more likely to be included.
07:39:12 <Lymia> I'm transfering to a bigger college that probably has better library access.

12:46:42 <mroman> AndoDaan: z80 isn't a language
12:47:08 <mroman> z80 is an 8bit microprocessor
12:47:25 <mroman> that, like most CPUs, has an instruction set
12:47:34 <AndoDaan> I see.
12:47:45 <mroman> technically if you find a C compiler that targets z80
12:47:53 <mroman> you can golf in C for z80 on anagol
12:48:01 <mroman> but hand-written assembly is probably shorter ;)
12:48:44 <mroman> mind you, golfing in z80 requires serious knowledge about z80 internals and its instruction set
12:49:51 <mroman> http://golf.shinh.org/reveal.rb?main/*yuko*_1280923558&z8b
12:50:13 <mroman> ^- and data is usally encoded in the instructions themselves and all sorts of dark secret magic is going on in z80 golfing :)
12:50:18 <AndoDaan> is the z80 special amongs microprocessors?
12:50:49 <mroman> It's a popular microprocessor
12:50:54 <mroman> or was a popular microprocessor
12:51:17 <mroman> but for more details... zzo38 knows lots of stuff about z80
12:51:36 <mroman> GameBoys used to have a z80 for example
12:51:43 <b_jonas> AndoDaan: and it's sort of an ancestor of the x86_64 we use today. some of the decisions that made sense back at z80 have carried over.
12:51:52 <mroman> or a z80-like processor
12:52:02 <b_jonas> and yes, it's also very popular
12:52:09 <paul2520> TI calculators (at least some of them) use a z80
12:52:50 <mroman> apparentely z80 is/was used for disk controllers as well
12:53:17 <mroman> "Breathalyzer equipment used by law enforcement agencies.[57]"
12:53:32 <mroman> ^- breathalyzers run on z80s too says WP
12:54:17 <b_jonas> and of course some old personal computers used the z80 too
12:54:25 <AndoDaan> it's still usefull for some to learn/know how to handle z80 then.
12:55:28 <b_jonas> AndoDaan: not very useful, only in the esoteric sense
12:56:02 <AndoDaan> oh.
12:56:27 <mroman> AndoDaan: maybe if you're an embedded systems developper
12:56:40 <AndoDaan> I don't think i am. lemme check.
12:56:45 <mroman> but as an embedded systems developer you never know what kind of weird cpu you'll be using next
12:56:49 <AndoDaan> no.
12:57:17 <mroman> so perpare to study LOTS of manual pages
12:57:30 <mroman> about instruction set, hardware, how to communicate with the hardware
12:57:35 <mroman> cpu timing diagramms :)
12:57:35 <AndoDaan> that's all i do when programming.
12:58:06 <b_jonas> even if you're an embedded systems developer, you're more likely to use a more modern cpu
12:58:11 <AndoDaan> check manual, or lref, type a command, run, manual, type, run.
12:59:11 <AndoDaan> hmm. okay. thanks. I'm just broadening my horizons, seeing what takes my fancy.
12:59:46 <AndoDaan> like this: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Almost_impossible_to_learn_and_apply_esoteric_programming_language
13:00:58 <AndoDaan> water-resistant code. so often overlooked.
13:01:40 <mroman> http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/impuls/emisy/8051_um2.pdf
13:01:43 <mroman> good ol' 8051

13:05:46 -!- AndoDaan has joined.
13:07:01 <AndoDaan> the 8051 would be a good place to start getting aquainted with cpu s?
13:09:30 <mroman> that's probably a matter of "beleives"
13:09:40 <mroman> there's the 8086
13:09:46 <mroman> which is probably also a good place to start
13:10:12 <mroman> the 8086 is x86
13:11:45 <mroman> cpus are very different but still mostly similiar.
13:12:51 <mroman> you could also start with a more recent ARM processor
13:15:02 <mroman> you could also read 1000 pages of IA-32 manual
13:15:21 <AndoDaan> hmm... that doesn't sound like something I'd could do.
13:15:44 <mroman> :D
13:16:03 <mroman> It's probably easier to read 300 pages for some little microcontroller :)
13:16:19 <mroman> although they don't have paging
13:16:24 <mroman> and these neat features
13:16:43 <mroman> besides, IA32_64 is only 3.5k pages
13:17:18 <AndoDaan> wow. my manual, if i had one, wouldn't a tenth that long.
13:17:44 <AndoDaan> do they describe it at the atomic level?
13:18:14 <mroman> No
13:18:17 <mroman> just the functional
13:18:34 <mroman> mind you IA32 is a freakishly complex architecture

14:02:45 <mroman> did AndoDaan create a new problem?
14:03:45 -!- impomatic_ has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds).
14:04:55 <mroman> looks like a brute-force problem
14:05:54 <mroman> int-e: I think numbers within expressresions are just sorted
14:06:08 <mroman> from greatest to smallest
14:08:37 <int-e> (2+1)×8×1
14:10:40 <int-e> Which is to say, I don't know.
14:11:07 <mroman> well
14:11:10 <mroman> (2+1) is sorted
14:11:14 <mroman> and 8x1 is sorted
14:12:13 <mroman> () stuff always sorts before other stuff I guess
14:12:34 <mroman> and multiple () () are sorted based on the greatest number
14:12:35 <mroman> i.e.
14:12:42 <mroman> (7+1)x(2+1)
14:13:39 <mroman> at least so it appears
14:13:57 <mroman> hm
14:14:02 <mroman> (6x5-6)x1
14:14:03 <mroman> damn
14:15:05 <mroman> It would be cool if you could submit a verification program (i.e. like a python script)
14:15:10 <mroman> rather than hardcoded testcases :)
14:15:32 <fizzie> The problem was discussed on #anagol.
14:16:13 <fizzie> The samples were from the website or something.
14:17:16 <mroman> oh
14:17:24 <mroman> he didn't have a reference implementation?
14:19:10 <fizzie> Right.
14:19:16 <int-e> there are some preferences in the link, but those hardly determine the solution uniquely.
14:19:49 <int-e> (but the preference for putting big numbers first does indeed appear there)
14:30:21 <ais523> incidentally, I was randomly looking at the preferences that various editors had to be chosen as the default editor on Debian
14:30:30 <ais523> Emacs had a preference of 0; nano of 40
14:30:39 <ais523> I have three versions of vim installed, with preferences of 10, 20, and 60
14:30:43 <ais523> most amusing was ed, at -100
14:30:51 <ais523> I didn't even know debian alternatives preferences /could/ go negative
14:31:30 <ais523> I guess this is some sort of intriguing editor wars argument
14:32:00 <ais523> (IME, vim makes no sense to go above nano as a /default/, given that this is what's chosen for users who haven't specifically customized; and it makes even less sense for vim preference to depend on which versions of vim are installed)
14:34:05 -!- `^_^v has joined.
14:38:35 <int-e> nano is so awful :/
14:39:27 <ais523> easier to use if you don't know what you're doing than emacs or vim
14:39:30 <mroman> man, fuck nano.
14:39:41 <ais523> and if you do know what you're doing, you probably know how to change the default for your account
14:39:54 <ais523> I have my nano set up with syntax highlighting, but I can't remember how
14:40:32 <mroman> The only thing I use in nano is ^X
14:40:52 <mroman> in case I accidentally start it
14:40:58 <int-e> Throwing people into nano is probably saner than throwing them into vim, at least it tells you how to quit :)
14:41:14 <mroman> int-e: right.
14:41:18 <mroman> If you know what ^X means
14:41:28 <int-e> it's displayed at the bottom
14:41:34 <mroman> ^X QUIT
14:41:42 <int-e> at least for me. ^X Exit
14:41:49 <mroman> Right
14:41:56 <mroman> But typing ^X won't Exit
14:42:13 <int-e> ^J Justify --- now I remember wordstar, so I have a vague idea that it's not asking the editor to justify its existence ...

14:42:37 -!- ais523 has joined.
14:42:40 <mroman> int-e: yes
14:42:55 <mroman> first time using nano I didn't know what ^X is supposed to tell me :)
14:44:29 <paul2520> from my .bashrc: alias nano='vim'
14:45:46 <int-e> so is there anything in those preferences that says that (11+11+2)*1 is better than 11*1+11+2?
14:45:50 <ais523> paul2520: that would do pretty much the opposite of what you want
14:45:57 <ais523> just do EDITOR=vim
14:47:18 <paul2520> I'm training myself to use vim instead of nano... so if I type 'nano', I want it to run vim instead
14:47:31 <ais523> ah right
14:47:42 <ais523> in my case, I can use vim but not very efficiently
14:47:52 <ais523> I use so many editors
14:48:09 <paul2520> It's good to have a broad range of skills!
14:48:11 <mroman> vim is pretty use
14:48:15 <mroman> you only need
14:48:21 <mroman> :q :q! and :wq
14:48:23 <ais523> emacs, gedit, nano, vim, kate, I've even used sed in emergency
14:48:43 <mroman> as soon as vim starts press i
14:48:45 <mroman> then edit
14:48:46 <mroman> do :wq
14:48:50 <int-e> vim is good for simple search-edit-and-run tasks
14:48:55 <mroman> that's pretty much all I can do with vim
14:48:58 <mroman> that and :syntax on
14:49:01 <int-e> beyond that I can't use it.
14:49:29 <int-e> mroman: you forgot ESC
14:50:56 <mroman> oh
14:50:57 <mroman> right
14:52:18 <int-e> oh, after implementing the preferences, the output 13+12+12-13 is not even on my list anymore.
14:52:26 <int-e> awful!
14:59:18 <Melvar> Hrm … does anyone know about unicode texs and/or what channel to ask about them in?
15:05:32 <coppro> unicode tex?
15:05:35 <coppro> have fun
15:06:04 <elliott_> xetex?
15:06:06 <paul2520> Melvar: #latex might be useful?
15:06:21 <paul2520> (or they might know where else to look)
15:07:51 <ais523> I know LyX has some sort of unicode TeX plugin that uses LuaTEX, IIRC
15:07:57 <ais523> (or maybe LuaTeX?)
15:08:09 <elliott_> or luatex yeah
15:08:45 <Melvar> Well, now that I’ve had a better look, since both xelatex and lualatex exhibit the problem, it’s more likely this font that’s being used …
15:09:05 <coppro> you're just imagining it
15:10:09 <Melvar> Well wait, copypasting from the PDF also shows the problem, so it may not be the font.
15:11:04 <ais523> perhaps it's to do with the font encoding, that was a real pain for my thesis
15:11:18 <ais523> because it swapped out perfectly normal English letters with pretty arbitrary latin-1
15:11:36 <ais523> I eventually fixed that by changing relevant-looking settings at random until it worked
15:14:05 <int-e> affinity
15:14:58 <Melvar> (The thing here is that I have ‘×’ and it comes out ‘»’.)
15:16:01 <ais523> sounds like it could well be a font encoding problem
15:16:04 <ais523> TeX font encoding is bizarre

16:02:52 <quintopia> how's life in the ivory tower treating you
16:03:23 <paul2520> ais523: intriguing!
16:03:54 <ais523> I'm getting lots of negative results, and apparently people don't like those, even though they're just as valid as positive results and possibly more useful, in that they stop you wasting your time
16:04:59 <ais523> anyway, I started out learning and working with the standard type systems for this sort of thing
16:05:06 <ais523> and then eventually discovered they were all wrong
16:05:46 <quintopia> i'm just wondering what keeps you going...i got the hell out as soon as i realized what it was doing to my health and sanity
16:07:37 <ais523> having the ability to get something published without having to mangle it to fit what journals want
16:07:50 <ais523> all the best references I've found have been phd theses

18:03:37 <fizzie> elliott_: By the way, I've provisionally accepted the London thing.
18:03:52 <elliott_> fizzie: congrats!
18:04:09 <fizzie> "Provisionally" meaning that I haven't yet seen the actual contract I'd be signing, but it's unlikely to be too offensive.
18:05:02 <elliott_> will you be doing exciting things?
18:05:30 <ais523> fizzie: I don't know, someone I know rejected a job over a contract a while back
18:05:52 <fizzie> ais523: I guess it's *possible*. Do you know why in particular?
18:06:13 <fizzie> elliott_: That's what they claim, but we'll see.
18:06:36 <ais523> yes, it was a teaching job that demanded exclusive IP rights on all the teaching material, also the right to delete it from the teacher's computer after the course had ended
18:06:42 <elliott_> fizzie: sounds vague :p
18:06:56 <ais523> they claimed it was just standard boilerplate and couldn't see why people got upset
18:10:08 <fizzie> Mmm. Well, right. Both the UK and Germany things would have been approximately equally corporate-y. I suppose they might have had legal departments craft things vaguely like that.
18:11:06 <fizzie> Our local union kind of thing provides free legal advice to members, I'm hoping they'll have time to look through it for TRAPS and such.
18:14:55 <fizzie> When I applied for a job at the university the first time, it was still entirely a public institution (now it's foundationized or something), so they didn't do "employment contracts", they did "work orders" ("työsopimus" vs. "työmääräys") instead. I don't know the details.
18:15:27 <ais523> fizzie: I'm in the middle of a nethack-related conversation about spellbooks
18:15:39 <ais523> so had a pretty different interpretation of a trapped contract until I got my brain into the right gear
18:16:00 <fizzie> I don't think legal advice helps much against, say, a boulder trap.
18:16:10 <fizzie> Except perhaps for renumeration afterwards.
18:16:32 <fizzie> Remuneration. Enumeration. Difficult word.

18:27:13 <fizzie> I wouldn't have noticed the sequence IDs if it hadn't said "The first few Belgian-2 numbers are 4, --" which is obviously wrong.
18:27:22 <AndoDaan> you can only try.
18:28:04 <AndoDaan> I must have looked right over it when i made the problem. glad i picked the 0 belgian numbers.

19:47:26 <elliott_> mahou
19:47:27 <mroman> also.. what girls/why girls?
19:47:35 <elliott_> because they'd be a... mahou shoujo
19:47:40 * elliott_ hides
19:48:12 <mroman> is that "magic girlfriend"?
19:48:34 <elliott_> no, just "magical girl"
19:50:38 <mroman> it appears that pushl/popl push/pop to/from a different stack
19:51:04 <mroman> |:x is shorthand for "x" get-member
19:51:23 <mroman> *get-property
19:52:27 <mroman> newl appears to create an object on the secondary stack
19:52:45 <mroman> getl and setl are just get-property/set-property for secondary stack
19:52:47 <mroman> and dell
19:52:47 <mroman> puh
19:52:51 <mroman> is a company
19:53:09 <mroman> dell is popl followed by pop
19:53:20 <mroman> neat

20:14:46 <fizzie> FireFly: At least it's not M.
20:16:11 <fizzie> Forecast suggests something hovering around 0 tomorrow, and then it goes back up to +10, so maybe it's not quite yet time to switch from bicycling to bus.
20:16:14 <fizzie> (I am aware some people cycle to work the entire year, but personally I've stopped when water starts to freeze on the ground.)

20:29:30 <mroman> I could bike to work
20:29:42 <mroman> if it counts as time I was working
20:29:59 <mroman> that is labour time
20:30:21 <mroman> I might need 4h to 5h for one way :)

22:45:38 <oerjan> hm i have a hunch lady selnikov is seeking whatever that key fits.
22:45:50 <oerjan> (and reading girl genius.)
22:47:52 <FreeFull> The book must be relevant somehow too
22:48:37 <oerjan> perhaps it explains what to do with what she'll find
22:48:43 <boily> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
22:48:59 * boily just remembered he's completely absolutely outrageously late on reading GG

23:21:34 <int-e> oerjan: perhaps she's looking for that beast that Brother Ulm was so worried about.
23:22:00 <oerjan> ooh
23:26:55 <oerjan> well if that is the case, i suspect this won't end well for the lady.
23:32:09 <FreeFull> Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she dies or ends up imprisoned
23:38:00 -!- callforjudgement has joined.
23:38:22 -!- ais523 has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
23:38:30 <oerjan> although i am really expecting something more more plot-relevant, like a gadget related to time or dimension.
23:38:46 <oerjan> *-more
23:38:50 -!- callforjudgement has changed nick to ais523.
23:41:25 <FreeFull> If Heterodynes know not to mess with something, you know it's something you shouldn't mess with either
23:41:43 <oerjan> if the time travel visions are supposed to happen accurately, they probably have to get to the geisterdamen world somehow.
23:42:05 <oerjan> although not before being reunited with gil.
23:42:14 <FreeFull> On the other hand, Agatha is the best Heterodyne
23:42:33 <FreeFull> Well, potentially the best
23:42:40 <FreeFull> There is a lot to live up to
23:42:43 <oerjan> well time travel and stopping time isn't the same thing.
23:43:01 <FreeFull> What was it her ancestor was doing with time?
23:43:20 <FreeFull> Time travel is clearly more advanced
23:43:22 <oerjan> well indeed it wasn't accurately described
23:43:53 <FireFly> D'you think Selnikov will encounter Agatha and the others soon?
23:43:54 <oerjan> well i mean it's stopping time that seems to attract those extradimensional beings
23:43:55 <FreeFull> I bet it'll be Agatha who figures out how to save the city
23:44:25 <FreeFull> I imagine time portals attract those beings more, so you have to keep them open only for short amounts of time
23:44:53 <oerjan> who knows.
23:45:06 <int-e> oerjan: No matter what she's looking for I don't see this ending well for Lady Selenikov in any case :)
23:45:06 <oerjan> the visions didn't imply anything about that.
23:45:10 <FreeFull> Future Agatha knows what she's doing, probably
23:45:23 <oerjan> int-e: OKAY
23:46:03 <FreeFull> The extra-dimensional beings probably just don't like having distortions in their space time, so if you make the "distortion" natural, it should be ok
23:46:12 <FreeFull> Something like a huge time bubble is definitely the opposite
23:46:24 <FreeFull> No wonder such a gigantic being is coming over
23:47:05 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
23:51:04 <oerjan> saving everybody is going to take some good timing, with that aging effect. especially for tarvek.
23:51:26 <oerjan> he cannot afford to age a half hour.
23:53:46 -!- nys_ has joined.
23:53:51 <int-e> Tarvek, hmm. Was he shot by Martellus? So many things happened.
23:54:19 <oerjan> yes, with fast-working poison.
23:54:45 <oerjan> that dissolves the body.
23:55:47 <FreeFull> The aging thing has to be circumvented entirely
23:56:14 <FreeFull> Because otherwise everybody all the humans will die
23:56:35 <FreeFull> Crumble to dust
