00:00:27 <oerjan> i think it is impossible to force order in general unless your string starts with a special position marker.
00:00:32 <AndoDaan> Ah... I see.
00:01:00 <AndoDaan> Like my BF or MNNBFSL thue interpreter would by necessity be deterministic.
00:01:19 <AndoDaan> Didn't think of that at all.
00:01:27 -!- zzo38 has joined.
00:03:47 <AndoDaan> Great! then I can use a deterministic implementation of Thue to implement my Markov Alg BCT code. 
00:09:01 -!- oren has joined.
00:35:36 <fizzie> AndoDaan: You could classify a (deterministic) Turing machine to be a deterministic string-rewriting thing, if you consider the tape as a string (with the position of the head indicated as a special symbol, carrying the state along), and the transition function a set of rewrite rules.
00:35:45 <fizzie> As in, you have state set Q and tape alphabet T, so think of rewriting a (Q union T)*, and if there's a transition (q, t) -> (q', t', Right) then let there be a rewrite rule from "q t" to "t' q'" and so on.
00:35:50 <fizzie> (Add some seasoning to make the tape grow as necessary.)
00:38:45 <AndoDaan> Yeah. Watching the code running, it looks like it too. The whole sweeping back and forth looks familiar too.
00:40:34 <AndoDaan> I first thought that Tag systems were closer to what string wrting is, but I'm realizing that's wrong.
00:42:45 <AndoDaan> And now I'm realizing that I still won't be able to extend the esointerpreters chain.

09:32:10 <PinealGlandOptic> Hi everybody. Noob question about halting problem. Am I right that it's easy to detect infinite loops in TM LBA using TM LBA with bigger tape (just to write down all states and find out if one is repeating)? If so, does it mean that halting problem exist only for TM with infinite tape?
09:50:04 <elliott> yep
09:50:21 <elliott> precisely
09:50:28 <Jafet> There is no LBA that determines whether any LBA halts, so in another sense, no
09:50:38 <elliott> oh
09:50:44 <elliott> ok by precisely I meant close enough
09:50:53 <elliott> need to read questions more closely in future :p
09:51:00 <Jafet> (Clearly, an unbounded Turing machine can determine whether any LBA halts.)
09:53:23 <J_Arcane> This page irritates me. See if you can guess why by about half way down the page. http://www.stencyl.com/
09:56:08 <elliott> cool, like Scratch
09:59:42 <PinealGlandOptic> Jafet: but bigger LBA with sufficient tape? why not? if we've got toy-level CPU with tiny registers and memory, it's easy to detect infinite loop in it and stop
10:04:36 <PinealGlandOptic> I mean, it's easy to run something on that toy CPU and wait for halt or for infitie loop detection and all that in finite time. if to track toy CPU state on the CPU with larger RAM.
10:09:28 <J_Arcane> elliott: scratch is cool, but it's totally coding ... 
10:09:42 <elliott> J_Arcane: yeah but coding is a scary word
10:09:51 <elliott> and doing drag-drop fill-in stuff is nothing like the typical conception of "writing code"
10:10:07 <elliott> I think it's fine. it's making it accessible to people who would be turned off by the idea of coding
10:12:39 <Jafet> You are probably just annoyed because it's ripping off tried-and-true visual programming interfaces seen in LabView, Alice and other highly successful and productive systems
10:14:25 <J_Arcane> Naw, it was just the 'Make games with no coding!' then pictures of code.
10:15:43 <Jafet> PinealGlandOptic: usually the halting problem is phrased as: is there one machine M that determines whether any (suitably encoded) input machine halts
10:16:29 <Jafet> Since there is no single LBA that works for all LBAs, this version of the halting problem is unsolvable
10:18:44 <Jafet> You could add more memory to your LBA after you know the input size, but that just turns your LBA into a sort of Turing machine, so it's not very interesting
10:23:07 <Jafet> Note that "writing down all states" doesn't work since it doesn't use linear space, but you can probably use Floyd's or Brent's cycle detection methods.

11:55:21 <oerjan> @tell PinealGlandOptic If you consider how that interacts with the proof of the halting problem, that is the essence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_hierarchy_theorem

11:55:58 -!- mitchs_ has joined.
11:57:38 <oerjan> @tell PinealGlandOptic basically, since a TM with (enough) more space can decide the halting problem for one with less, they cannot be the same computational class.

14:24:30 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
14:24:56 <oerjan> (ghc 7.10 is being delayed, partly due to the bugs we found)
14:26:33 <FreeFull> Having a new Prelude sounds interesting
14:26:45 <oerjan> yeah
14:29:05 <boily> I'm still hoping for the AMP to be in full effect.
14:29:32 <oerjan> i don't think the AMP is in much question
14:30:18 <oerjan> as the removel of the haskell2010 and haskell98 packages show, it had to be done entirely or not at all.
14:30:21 <oerjan> *a
14:31:36 <boily> ramovel.
14:31:47 <oerjan> *+s
14:31:54 <boily> rasmovel.
14:32:10 <oerjan> i'm sure that means something in russian.
14:32:44 <oerjan> except it's actually pronounced like rasmavyel
14:33:43 <boily> probably. GT isn't very helpful hth
14:34:10 <boily> but yeah, we're overdue for a new Prelude.
14:34:50 <J_Arcane> if the Prelude gets refactored, is that gonna obsolete what few good guides are already out there for Haskell?
14:35:11 <oerjan> it suggests растовел but has no actual meaning for it
14:36:09 <oerjan> J_Arcane: probably, but many of them were obsolete already.
14:36:26 <J_Arcane> This is true. I know RWH is getting a bit long in tooth already.
14:36:30 <oerjan> also, the BBP is supposed to be pretty backwards-compatible except for some type ambiguities.
14:37:27 <oerjan> i don't like that the neighbor's dog is occasionally barking again.
14:37:40 <oerjan> not _constantly_ like the first months, but still...
14:38:00 <oerjan> i hope it's not the start of a slippery slope
14:38:12 <boily> a well oiled dog barks best.
14:38:47 <oerjan> in fact, the BBP has been so well designed to be backwards compatible that many of the suggestions for how to partially backpedal on it will break _more_ code than it.
14:39:26 <oerjan> and also, as edwardk has repeatedly mentioned, a _lot_ of packages have already been adapted to it.
14:40:45 <oerjan> i think it's definitely in "even if it went too far in one step, going back is now even worse" territory.
14:43:00 <b_jonas> what?
14:43:29 <b_jonas> what's this BBP?
14:44:44 <oerjan> b_jonas: the Burning Bridges Proposal, implemented in the upcoming 7.10 release candidate, adds Foldable and Traversable to the Prelude and generalizes most functions in the Prelude to the functions of the same name in Data.Foldable and Data.Traversable

14:45:56 <lambdabot> (Traversable t, Monad m) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m (t b)
14:46:11 <b_jonas> I know they made Monad dependent on Applicable now
14:46:16 <oerjan> but even functions like sum and product are affected
14:46:23 <b_jonas> yeah
14:46:36 <b_jonas> do they have type defaults that default to list?
14:47:02 <oerjan> nope, that's possibly the main non-backwards-compatible issue
14:47:18 <b_jonas> ok
14:48:20 <oerjan> i'm not sure if the ghc defaulting mechanism supports * -> * kind defaults
14:48:57 <b_jonas> oerjan: even if it doesn't no, maybe they'll change that? I mean, they're extending the type system all the tiem
14:51:16 -!- GeekDude has joined.
14:52:23 <oerjan> it does seem like something that shouldn't be too hard to do
14:56:31 <Lymia> So
14:56:40 <Lymia> Why is it called the Burning Bridges Proposal
14:58:43 <oerjan> because it changes a lot of the haskell Prelude module, which is usually considered part of the language itself.
14:59:50 <oerjan> i think it's sort of a "we're already modifying the Prelude incompatibly by making Applicative a superclass of Monad, why not go all in"
15:01:17 <oerjan> the original proposal was supposedly even more radical, in a less backward-compatible way
15:01:37 <oerjan> (e.g. in the end they did not merge map and fmap)
15:12:30 <b_jonas> oerjan: oh, like changing (.) to be an alias to fmap ?
15:12:47 <b_jonas> and (++) to, um, mplus or whatever it is?
15:13:09 <oerjan> no, they wouldn't change (.) to that, seeing as Control.Category uses it in a way incompatible to fmap
15:13:19 <oerjan> maybe ++ was considered
15:13:29 <b_jonas> what
15:13:45 <oerjan> :t (Control.Category..)
15:13:46 <lambdabot> Category cat => cat b c -> cat a b -> cat a c
15:14:54 <oerjan> although the generalization of ++, mappend, has the alternative name <> now.
15:15:07 <oerjan> (for quite some time)
15:15:55 <oerjan> hm they probably also included Monoid in the Prelude, it's needed for Foldable to be defined.
15:16:19 <boily> Monoid is pretty much harmless.
15:16:27 <oerjan> sure

18:40:14 <oren> Why should anything be in scope by default?
18:42:09 <oren> In any language?
18:44:30 <oren> Generality suggests keeping the base language minimal (like C). Ease of use suggests having lots of default stuff (like Perl).
18:45:38 <oren> I think a good middle ground is to have a "import basic stuff" line at the top of programs  
18:48:26 <oren> Which is what they did in C++ with "using namespace std"
18:52:12 <arjanb> I would say import nothing by default, and let an IDE do most of the importing for you
18:53:32 <oren> J_Arcane: It's not worse than PHP or C++...
18:54:19 <J_Arcane> oren: I think maybe it's also just refreshing to deal with after C# ...
18:56:26 <oren> C# has some... problems with syntax
18:57:23 <oren> but it is better than C++
18:58:50 <J_Arcane> Yes. I'd rather do C# than C++ or Java, but it's still a question of degrees ...

19:01:15 <b_jonas> ok wait, twenty lines of #include and THEN four lines
19:04:27 <b_jonas> #include <cstdlib> \ #include <cstdint> \ #include <algorithm> \ #include <utility> \ #include <limits> \ #include <array> \ #include <vector> \ #include <string> \ #include <memory> \ #include <iostream> \ #include <fstream> \ #include <sstream> \

19:06:54 <b_jonas> it's not really long, it is?

19:24:47 <elliott> dear god: for 2k15, please make "showing off how little you [pretend to] know about sports" not be the top form of nerd brag any more
19:25:10 <b_jonas> fungot, how little do you know about sports?
19:25:10 <fungot> b_jonas: alice did not like shaking my head requires more power but the computer, fnord of the fnord here, so i don't see big contradiction: if soviets created
19:26:10 <oren> elliott: I know a lot about HOCKEY, the only IMPORTANT sport. 
19:26:26 <b_jonas> elliott: it's easier here, because we don't have to pretend we know nothing of american football, baseball, basketball and hockey ( http://www.xkcd.com/1107/ ), but only of soccer, handball and water polo.
19:27:35 <oren> In Canada that chart would only include hockey and, in the city, football.
19:27:37 <b_jonas> Now water polo is played mostly underwater so even the judges know nothing about it and have to guess (but they have to pretend they know everything anyway), and soccer is played on such a large field you and the judges have no hope to see everything, it's not hard to pretend you can't follow them.
19:31:08 <oren> Hockey is interesting because it's dominated mostly by American teams, which consist mainly of Canadian players. 
19:31:57 <b_jonas> oren: how does that make it interesting or different from other sports?
19:32:04 <oren> So you have crowds of Canadians cheering on Russians as they beat up Canadians
19:33:05 <oren> Whereas in football the teams consist of citizens of the country they represent
19:35:07 <b_jonas> oren: no, that's only the national teams in the championships, and there's one of those only every two years. the normal teams which participate in the leagues are made mostly of foreigner players who can make more of a carrier abroad.
19:35:42 <b_jonas> oren: and that's not even counting people in national teams that are granted citizenship easier just so they can be part of the national soccer team.
19:36:27 <oren> b_jonas: well, that's less interesting....
19:36:30 <b_jonas> We don't have many Chinese in European soccer teams yet, but only because they prefer other sports.

22:14:53 <FireFly> ah
22:17:36 <J_Arcane> It's a similar idea though, Heresy objects are basically just a lambda wrapped round an association list, so you can do fun stuff like that pretty easily. Need to decide what, and if, I'm gonna do with it I think.
22:19:03 <FireFly> Does heresy have the concept of prototypal inheritance, where if you look up a property in an object and the property is missing, it'll try to look it up in the prototype instead?

23:02:45 <oerjan> i am somewhat wondering if they manage to implement this in such a way that no type signatures need to be changed to use anything Kindable-like
23:06:03 <int-e> I don't know. To me it seemed that a proper solution would involve tracking Typable instances for polymorphic kinds, much the same way they have to be tracked for polymorphic datatypes. So we'd have things like   (Typeable k, Typeable t) => Typeable (Proxy (t :: k))
23:06:47 <int-e> And that would indeed change some type signatures.
23:06:48 <oerjan> yeah i was thinking that too, although that (1) would require changing type signatures (2) cannot be done with current ghc types

23:08:27 <int-e> elliott: It would mean getting a fix out sooner
23:08:30 <oerjan> elliott: yes but spj _really_ doesn't like Safe Haskell completely broken, i think
23:08:55 <oerjan> of course it's only theoretically ever sound
23:09:03 <int-e> Besides, yeah, SPJ's opinion carries some wait here.
23:09:10 <oerjan> *weight
23:09:15 <int-e> right.
23:09:48 <int-e> I hate those phonetically correct typos.
23:10:33 <elliott> yeah but you could just release 7.10.1 quickly
23:10:39 <elliott> I guess the point is that nobody wants to upgrade twice in quick succession
23:10:43 <oerjan> int-e: does your typefamily method avoid needing anything for kinds in the signatures?
23:10:52 <b_jonas> but wouldn't it require changing the type signatures to the _correct_ signatures from the wrong ones?
23:11:16 <oerjan> b_jonas: the old signatures aren't wrong per _se_
23:11:25 <oerjan> a type always implicitly includes its kind
23:11:29 <b_jonas> elliott: ah right, because ghc still breaks binary compatibility of all modules you've compiled with it at every point release!
23:11:30 <int-e> elliott: It's easier to explain breaking code (and I'm still not convinced that that won't happen) with a full release than with a point release.
23:11:38 <b_jonas> sn't that the basic problem?
23:11:57 <b_jonas> so people can't just upgrade as lightly as with most other software
23:12:35 <int-e> elliott: So what I'm trying to say is, I'm not sure whether this should be left for 7.10.1 or 7.12.1, but I don't think it can be done in a 7.10.x, x>1, release.
23:13:34 <oerjan> but i fear that if you have a typeable instance which depends on a kind variable, then ghc will do its instance resolution in such a way that it _needs_ an explicit context for the kind as well, which is what seemed to happen for my experiments
23:13:37 <int-e> Of course I may be wrong and this won't break any code at all.
23:13:57 <int-e> ... but as already indicated, I don't see how.
23:14:36 <b_jonas> (seriously, that's what really shows it's a research language)
23:14:42 <oerjan> _if_ they can manage to avoid the kind separating from the type in a sense, then the signatures wouldn't need to change.  or so i think.
23:15:25 -!- hjulle has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
23:15:25 <oerjan> i don't understand int-e's type family version enough to say if that does it
23:15:32 <int-e> And I suggested leaving this for 7.12 mainly because there have already been two RCs, so breaking code now *will* cause some upset.
23:16:24 <int-e> oerjan: What it is supposed to accomplish is that you don't need explicit Typeable contexts for monomorphic kinds.
23:17:17 <oerjan> int-e: oh.  i thought my method did that as well, or could, at least.
23:18:56 <oerjan> the fact that you cannot actually write Typeable k  for a kind k afaik, except possibly in goldfire's branch, seems to be a problem.
23:18:59 <int-e> oerjan: Hmm, you may be right. But the type family also covers the  (Typeable a, Typeable b) => (Typable (a b))  instance, where with MPTCs you run into the open world assumption problem
23:20:15 <oerjan> it does? as i said there is essentially a functional dependency.
23:20:50 <oerjan> hm i was going to test something...
23:21:27 <zzo38> How can you have Typeable contexts for kinds?
23:21:30 <zzo38> What is a "open world assumption problem"? Also what is goldfire's branch?
23:22:15 <oerjan> alas, nope, you cannot define a type synonym with a kind parameter either :(
23:23:06 <zzo38> Are you supposed to?
23:23:10 <oerjan> zzo38: you cannot, currently, but it would seem the most obvious way of getting a reified kind to put in the Typeable instance for a polykind type
23:24:10 <oerjan> zzo38: goldfire's branch is a branch where he is removing the distinction between types and kinds, in order to prepare for a dependent types extension
23:24:33 <oerjan> (am i remembering the nick correctly, hm...)
23:25:25 <oerjan> the "open world assumption" is the rule that instance resolution for a class never assumes anything based on which instances are _not_ in scope
23:25:59 <int-e> oerjan: hmm, you may be right. Perhaps the real trick is that in my code, only *some* Typeable instances have a "Kindable (Proxy :: k -> *)" (= Typable (KindRep (Proxy :: k -> *))) context.
23:26:46 <oerjan> the "problem" then is that it can sometimes be hard to convince ghc to use the one you want
23:27:04 <int-e> So the problem of getting from Kindable (k1 -> k2) to Kindable k1 and Kindable k2 doesn't crop up.
23:27:06 <zzo38> I believe you should need support for defining automatic classes and for defining closed classes. Typeable can then be made into a automatic class; you don't need deriving(Typeable) and can't define an explicit instance but for polymorphic functions you will still need a Typeable context if you want to use its type information.
23:27:44 <int-e> zzo38: yes that's the way SPJ is heading
23:28:56 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
23:29:12 <oerjan> b_jonas: the changes for 7.10 are big enough that several people have suggested that it should be numbered 8.0 instead.  but then they don't really affect the _internals_ of ghc as much as the libraries.
23:29:32 <zzo38> I am not sure how the syntax should be for defining automatic classes, but Typeable would be built-in anyways so it doesn't matter in this case.
23:30:00 <int-e> oerjan: not much wrong with bumping base to 5.0 without bumping the ghc version...
23:30:17 <zzo38> But it would help to make up a syntax and capability for these kind of things, as well as to define the new kind of macros so that do-notation and list-syntax can be made into macros that are defined in the Prelude instead of being built-in.
23:30:23 <int-e> but everything is wrong with bumping the base version, I have upper bounds 5 almost everywhere ;0

23:32:01 -!- J_Arcane has joined.
23:34:04 <oerjan> zzo38: there aren't that many other classes than Typeable that really _can_ be automatic in a user-definable way, because you want to support abstract data types by allowing not exporting constructors and deriving classes that expose internal structure.  The information in Typeable is afaict about everything that _cannot_ be hidden this way.
23:36:57 <oerjan> Coercible is also automatic, but it _checks_ whether the constructors are exposed.
23:37:14 <zzo38> I know that; you would somehow need macros if you can have user-definable automatic classes at all, since the macro then needs to use the stuff it is capable of using. This might result in the instances of such classes being different in different modules. But another way might be automatic classes based on instances of other classes. Other details would be names of types as strings.
23:37:39 <oerjan> ...i suppose there could be a mechanism for that, but then you'd have the same weirdness as Coercible in that the instance isn't necessarily inherited
23:39:04 <oerjan> zzo38: aeson has default methods for some its classes based on Generic, not quite automatic but close.
23:39:10 <oerjan> *some of its
23:40:03 <oerjan> hm there _was_ a suggestion of allowing deriving any class by using its default methods...
23:40:27 <oerjan> maybe it was even in 7.10 RC
23:40:57 <zzo38> Do you mean like:  data A = B | C deriving(Eq, default D, default E);
23:41:35 <zzo38> (So that you would have to explcitly specify you are deriving by defaults.)
23:41:46 -!- arjanb has quit (Quit: .).
23:41:52 <zzo38> But can't you just use instance without defining the methods, in such case, instead?
23:42:48 <oerjan> zzo38: hm i don't think there was an explicit keyword, just (Eq, D, E)
23:43:20 <oerjan> however it _would_ be good to be able to at least specify explicitly if you want GND or defaults
23:43:32 <oerjan> if your module has both extensions
23:43:50 <zzo38> Yes for newtype instead of data it would help to explicitly specify "default" in this case at least; for data it isn't needed
23:44:20 <oerjan> you might even want to able to overrule that for base classes, so you could do newtype MyType = MyType Int deriving (newtype Show)
23:44:25 <oerjan> *to be able
23:44:42 <zzo38> Yes that too I agree
23:44:59 <zzo38> Would be better, and I think more useful than deriving defaults
23:47:49 <zzo38> Why did they add "\case" syntax instead of my "\of" suggestion? (Which I think is probably same except for the words in use; "\of" would probably simplify the parser both for layout and nonlayout)
23:47:52 <oerjan> i think the syntax deriving (newtype Show, default JSON)  is pretty much vacant?
23:47:54 <b_jonas> yeah
23:48:22 <oerjan> both because they're keywords, and because they're lower case
23:48:36 <b_jonas> oerjan: re-using existing language keywords for new meanings? I see you're learning from us C++ers. Very good.
23:48:38 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes that is why I suggested using the keyword "default"
23:49:54 <zzo38> In SQLite although new keywords are sometimes added, they are never reserved words; only a few keywords are reserved words. Therefore it doesn't cause problem if your name of a column or table or whatever is now a keyword.
23:50:40 <oerjan> zzo38: i also liked \of better than \case for logical grounds, although i actually preferred "case of".  but someone (spj) vetoed \of on the grounds it was too lightweight
23:50:55 <b_jonas> zzo38: hehe, "only a few"
23:51:03 <b_jonas> http://sqlite.org/lang_keywords.html lists more than there are in C++ I think
23:51:07 <oerjan> *(spj?)
23:51:16 <zzo38> b_jonas: Yes, although most of those aren't reserved.
23:52:07 <zzo38> I looked again and actually I forgot how many are reserved
23:52:08 <b_jonas> funnily that list doesn't include COVERING
23:52:12 <zzo38> Still, a lot of them aren't reserved.
23:52:32 <zzo38> And any new ones added also won't be reserved.
23:52:48 <b_jonas> do they promise that?
23:53:01 <b_jonas> that page actually says “SQLite adds new keywords from time to time when it takes on new features.”
23:53:03 <zzo38> I think they do implicitly although it doesn't say so.
23:53:17 <b_jonas> but then, perl says that too but they don't add new keywords anymore
23:53:32 <zzo38> It is true they add new keywords, but from my experience as well as for backward-compatibility reasons, the new keywords won't be reserved.
23:54:11 <b_jonas> perl has used like three different solutions to avoid adding new reserved words
23:54:28 <oerjan> my arguments for "case of" were (1) it doesn't need a new layout keyword (2) it leaves out the expression, so you can think of it as a case section
23:54:45 <b_jonas> namely, (1) putting important core functions to modules rather than builtin functions, (2) adding a weak keyword, (3) adding a keyword that is active only if you specifically allow it with "use feature"
23:54:54 <b_jonas> ((2) was done only once)
23:55:21 <zzo38> I have made a list of the reserved words. There are 58 reserved words, which is almost half of all of the keywords in SQLite.
23:55:54 <zzo38> All of the new keywords in Objective-C also aren't reserved and can be used as the names of ordinary C stuff without a problem.
23:56:23 <zzo38> (Therefore, any C program is also a valid Objective-C program.)
23:58:07 -!- ProofTechnique has joined.
23:58:42 <zzo38> WITH and WITHOUT aren't reserved words in SQLite; nor is RECURSIVE.
23:59:45 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes those are my reason too. I don't use the layout mode but many people do, and regardless of this it makes the parser more sensible. Either "case of" or "\of" is better to me than "\case".

2015-02-02:

00:00:30 <oerjan> zzo38: also thanks to multiway-if, | is now sometimes a layout keyword.  it wasn't originally but i remember loudly pointing out that was a mistake and some time later they added layout.

00:18:08 <zzo38> I made up two Magic: the Gathering cards based on suggestions from the game master for the Dungeons&Dragons game, which are called "Imp of Deception" (opponent's mana is of a different color than they expect) and "Calimshan Advisor" (opponent shows you the cards he intends to use during his turn).
00:18:13 <oerjan> <b_jonas> We don't have many Chinese in European soccer teams yet, but only because they prefer other sports. <-- didn't i mention a while ago that the chinese premier is a soccer fan who wants to make china stop being abysmal at it
00:18:34 <oerjan> so that may change.  eventually.
00:19:02 <zzo38> I changed the effects to make them work better with the rules of Magic: the Gathering though. Did you look at it?
00:19:46 <oerjan> (btw the chart for norway would be Football and, bizarrely, Cross Country Skiing)
00:19:58 <b_jonas> no
00:20:48 <oerjan> (norway is dominating the latter to an unhealthily degree - unhealthy because every other country is starting to lose their remaining interest in the sport)

00:50:40 <Taneb> I am listening to my (British) university's radio coverage for the Superbowl
00:50:48 <Taneb> I have no idea what is going on, and neither do they
00:53:30 <zzo38> Then call them on telephone and complain
00:53:32 <Taneb> "The Patriots are up 42 to 7, what does that mean? We don't know"
00:53:41 <Taneb> zzo38, It's amusing
00:53:49 <Taneb> They're now ordering pizza
00:54:53 <Taneb> They've got the person on the student union representing sports clubs
00:56:12 <Taneb> I sent in a message saying "Do any of you have any idea what is going on?"
00:56:33 <Taneb> And they read it out and said "Absolutely not, except for one thing, and that's that pizza is on its way"
00:58:00 <Jafet> Maybe they should interpret the game using British football rules.
00:58:26 <Taneb> Apparently there was a touchdown
00:58:31 <Taneb> Do they work like in Rugby
00:58:36 <Taneb> Do they get to convert the touchdown
00:59:46 <Taneb> "I don't know what that means, I'm just reading things that are on the screen"
01:00:15 <Taneb> This is hilarious
01:06:19 <zzo38> I made up two variants of Magic: the Gathering which are using entirely proxies, which is one for Limited (using a Solomon draft) and one for Constructed (using duel decks).

01:16:14 <zzo38> Maybe that's why nobody understands?
01:16:15 <pikhq> A "two point conversion" in American football refers to attempting a second run into the in zone immediately after a touchdown in a single play.

01:20:49 <pikhq> To be perfectly honest, American football is not that complicated a game, particularly if you understand rugby.
01:20:58 <pikhq> (American footbball is "just" a very weird variant of rugby)
01:21:31 <AndoDaan> rugby is a very weird variant of soccer.
01:21:47 <zzo38> You are probably correct but that doesn't make it easily enough to understand by people who don't understand these kind of game!
01:21:59 <Taneb> Association football is a weird variant of Magic: The Gathering
01:22:01 <zzo38> Especially if the nomenclature is... weird.
01:22:34 <AndoDaan> MTG is a reasonable varient of Pocket Monsters.
01:22:50 <AndoDaan> Pokemon for short.
01:22:55 <pikhq> zzo38: True. It's not *hard*, but it's non-zero knowledge.
01:23:32 <AndoDaan> Wait, was MTG the first card game of it's kind?
01:23:34 <zzo38> Magic: the Gathering is different from football and Pocket Monsters entirely, just as much as poker is different from chess and stuff like that, and more
01:23:40 <zzo38> AndoDaan: I believe so.
01:24:10 <AndoDaan> What a mind the invertor must have.
01:25:02 <zzo38> But there was no Limited play when it was first designed, only Constructed. There also weren't any deck construction rules as far as I know, and many cards were written in ways that are unusual for today, some cards says "destroys a black card as it is being cast", and "target creature is now a flying creature", and "if this reduces creature's toughness below 1, it is dead"
01:26:23 <pikhq> The closest to a predecessor to MTG, which isn't especially similar, is Cosmic Encounter.
01:27:22 <Taneb> They are now ordering pizza LIVE ON AIR
01:27:49 <pikhq> By the way, it is a terrible idea to order pizza in the US during the Superbowl.
01:28:22 <pikhq> I mean, you can, they will take your order, and they will deliver it, but don't be surprised if the game has been over for an hour by the time they actually make the thing.
01:28:22 <Taneb> pikhq, good thing they are in Yorkshire
01:28:26 <pikhq> Yep.
01:28:33 <pikhq> In Yorkshire I can't imagine it's a big problem.
01:28:54 <pikhq> Well, except that it's 0130.
01:29:18 <Taneb> Eh, I've ordered later successfully
01:29:28 <Taneb> It's a city with two universities
01:29:35 <pikhq> Yeah that'd help.
01:29:42 <zzo38> I am supposed to design Aberration Hater Card Game though, instead of being mainly Constructed it can be designed from the start to be mainly for Limited, as well as from the start it says you can use proxies if it is written clearly and don't constitute "marked cards".
01:29:50 <pikhq> You might be limited in options, but still.
01:30:31 <zzo38> And also if I can try to design the rules from the start so that you don't get unclear and ambiguous problems, by inventing the programming language to design the rules with.
01:31:02 <zzo38> I don't know if you believe it is a better, worse, or neither, idea than how other game design.
01:32:14 <zzo38> What is your opinion of such thing anyways?
01:33:43 <Sgeo> At this rate, Chrome is going to assume General Biotics is one of my favorite websites

07:35:11 <zzo38> I got SQLIRCBOT working now. You can try sending VERSION, PING, and TIME requests to it at "sqlircbot1".
07:37:56 <zzo38> Do you like this?
07:44:36 <zzo38> I will terminate it for now.
07:52:57 <b_jonas> zzo38: great
07:53:14 <b_jonas> oh, you killed it?
07:53:31 <zzo38> Yes; I only needed it on temporarily for testing
07:53:51 <zzo38> I can put back on if you want and I can also show you the program and schema if you like it too.
07:54:00 <b_jonas> maybe later
07:54:11 <zzo38> The VERSION, TIME, and PING requests are responded by triggers.
07:54:27 <b_jonas> yep, you said you'll do everything by triggers
07:54:36 <zzo38> (This isn't a built-in feature of SQLIRCBOT)
07:55:30 <b_jonas> does it respond to server PING requests, or else at least send a message every five minutes, so that the server doesn't kick it for being idle?
07:56:05 <zzo38> Responding to server PING requests is built-in to SQLIRCBOT; it is one of the few things that doesn't use triggers.
07:56:50 <zzo38> So, yes it does do that (and currently there is no way to turn that off).
07:58:03 <zzo38> You also don't need triggers to log the date/time; to do that you can use a DEFAULT clause in the CREATE TABLE statement.
07:59:42 <zzo38> The responding to client pings looks like this:   CREATE TRIGGER ping_trigger before insert on irc_log when new.command = 'PRIVMSG' collate nocase and new.arg2 like (x'01'||'PING%') begin select ircsend('notice',new.nick,new.arg2); end;
07:59:53 <b_jonas> right. you really need to respond to PING messages because some non-freenode servers absolutely won't talk to you unless you do
08:00:06 <b_jonas> zzo38: there's one specific thing I'd like to ask you about though
08:00:21 <zzo38> Yes, the host program automatically responds to server pings regardless of the database schema.
08:00:56 <zzo38> What specific thing do you like to ask me about?
08:01:27 <b_jonas> you know how irc networks use one of two casefolding methods to fold the case of nicknames and channel names. the server tells you which one it uses in a 005 message early. 
08:01:43 <zzo38> I know about IRC casefolding.
08:01:59 <b_jonas> technically, it tells you early enough that you could depend on that message, but it's very difficult to organize code in a way that guarantees you don't need to know about casefolding before the server tells you.
08:02:00 <zzo38> SQLIRCBOT implements a collation called IRCNOCASE which does that.
08:02:45 <b_jonas> so my take is that when I just tell the casefolding to the program before I set up the connection, and then verify it, and if the server tells it's wrong then I make the program die, because it's just easier to implement it that way.
08:02:53 <b_jonas> how do you handle this?
08:03:26 <zzo38> Your database schema will need to know which kind of casefolding to use.
08:03:59 <zzo38> If you want you can add a trigger that checks that it is the correct one, but normally you probably don't need to.
08:04:59 <zzo38> If you are only logging, it doesn't normally matter which one you use anyways (unless you want to add an index by name), but if you want to do other stuff too then you would figure this out and do this.
08:06:10 <zzo38> That's how I handle it. If you want the non-English casefolding then you just will use the IRCNOCASE collation; for English casefolding use NOCASE collation.
08:06:37 <zzo38> Does this answer your question?
08:07:57 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes.
08:08:35 <b_jonas> I definitely need code in my bot that follows the nicks my bot sees. For that, I need to follow JOIN, QUIT, PART, KICK, NICK, 353, 366 messages, plus if I want to follow nickserv accounts too then I have to issue CAP and WHOx commands and follow ACCOUNT, 354, 315 messages.
08:09:41 <b_jonas> (Freenode has a set of three extensions that together let you track which nicks on channels are logged in to what nickserv accounts. I will need this for my bot ideally.)
08:12:59 <b_jonas> I have proof of concept code for this, but I'll have to make sane code.
08:15:23 <b_jonas> The other difficult part of irc handling I encountered is making sure you don't send too many messages so the server doesn't kick you. I have the throttling code working so I know exactly how much I can send, but the hard part is making the bot behave sanely when its queue fills up too much and it can't empty it because it keeps getting incoming requests. I don't have a good solution for that yet.
08:17:35 <b_jonas> zzo38: Does your bot attempt to handle that?
08:23:52 <zzo38> I currently have no such code although maybe it should have.
08:24:12 <zzo38> It contains no timing code at all for now because I cannot figure out how to get it to work.
08:25:21 <zzo38> However I assume that it wouldn't receive incoming requests too fast either.
08:25:34 <zzo38> Because the other client is also limited to the same speed.
08:28:02 <b_jonas> zzo38: you don't actually have to use timing code for this
08:30:28 <b_jonas> you only have to count bytes
08:30:59 -!- mitchs_ has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
08:31:43 <b_jonas> though timing might help
08:37:14 <zzo38> OK
08:40:07 <b_jonas> Basically, the irc server gives each connection a buffer of 3000something bytes (3072 I think, but I'm not sure). It removes a command from that buffer only after it's processed the previous command from that connection completely. If you send more input than fits in the buffer, it disconnects you. If you send a line longer than 512 bytes (counting the terminating LF) it also disconnects you.
08:40:16 -!- mitchs has joined.
08:40:52 <b_jonas> The easy way to know how much you can send is to reserve the last 7 bytes of that buffer, send a PING command before the buffer gets full, and continue sending only after the server has replied to that PING command.
08:41:05 <b_jonas> You could do more elaborate tracking, but this is the easiest to implement.
08:41:27 <b_jonas> (There's also another throttling on the server which is much more difficult to handle.)

08:43:04 <zzo38> OK thanks
08:44:01 <b_jonas> Lots of this stupid specific information about IRC servers is not documented well and I have to acquire it from various pieces of partial documentation, from talking to people who know the servers on #freenode, from experimenting, and sometimes even from the source code.

22:36:48 <zzo38> How should I work the send buffering into sqlircbot? I did already fix it not to send lines that are too long in case some IRC server disconnects you when that happens
22:37:47 <zzo38> (The IRCSEND function returns 1 if it could not send for any reason (line too long, parameters before the last one having spaces, any one having carriage returns and line feeds) or 0 if it can send, but that doesn't seem to fix the send buffer size too)
22:47:27 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
22:50:37 <zzo38> I know I should PING the server and wait for the PONG response to know they have processed the message but I cannot seem to see where in this program such a thing can go without blocking everything else the program is doing.
22:52:59 -!- boily has joined.
22:54:06 <b_jonas> zzo38: you can store the messages you want to send in a table (you are probably already doing that), and add triggers to try to send some of the messages from that table both when (1) a new message is added and the table was empty, and (2) when you get the PONG response so you know the output buffer is cleared.
22:54:35 <b_jonas> The problem is when that table gets too long so you can never clear it and are sending very old messages.

23:01:44 <olsner> iirc it's possible to make tables that have C callbacks for some operations (like adding or deleting a row)
23:02:14 <zzo38> Yes you can do those things
23:02:49 <zzo38> However I have the sending messages done by the IRCSEND function exposed to the SQL program and want the C code in that function to handle it somehow
23:03:02 <olsner> (https://sqlite.org/vtab.html)
23:04:04 <zzo38> Yes, virtual tables, although I don't expect virtual tables to really help with what I am trying to do here at all

23:05:21 <b_jonas> zzo38: you don't need virtual tables for thsi

23:12:33 <int-e> thanks
23:13:06 <oerjan> although on the bright side, its cognate does so in norwegian, so i assume german is similar.
23:13:29 <oerjan> or well, sort of cognate.

23:18:09 <oerjan> hm they're supposedly from different, but eerily similar PIE roots

23:37:06 -!- mihow has quit (Quit: mihow).
23:38:56 <zzo38> Maybe this way better:   - Keep track of how many characters are send so far.   - If it would exceed 3000, instead send a PING and insert the message to send into a temporary table.   - If the PING has been sent and not responded yet, also insert into temporary table.
23:39:07 <zzo38> - Once the server responds by PONG then delete records from the temporary table.   - This temporary table can have triggers to resend the message when records are deleted.   - Once it runs out then reset the counter to zero and you can send messages normally again.
23:40:39 <zzo38> Do you expect this can work then?

05:23:32 <oren> now how to make it turing complete?

05:24:15 <oren> I say hah
05:24:40 <zzo38> Of course not everything has to be turing complete, and anyways I don't know. But you are certainly free to try to figure out how, please!
05:25:26 <oren> since I wrote all this date-handling code, the only data type should be dates
05:25:35 <oren> and times
05:26:58 <oren> AHA: the loop mechanism is by scheduling things to be done at another tiem
05:29:27 <oren> and conditions are simply comparisons of times
05:29:29 -!- Sprocklem has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
05:47:21 <oren> actually, a better set of conditions would be "is the program scheduled to run at time t" and  "has time t passed yet"
05:47:48 <oren> and then you can tell the program to run itself at a later time
05:52:23 <oren> Yeh. So the basic commands are T(...) where .. runs only if T has passed, T?(...) where ... runs only if T is on the schedule, and T. which puts T on the schedule. T must be replaced with a relative orabsolute timestamp.
05:53:12 <oren> The program then runs once upon open, and then once at each time that is on the schedule.
05:54:17 <oren> perhaps there should also be T/ which crosses T off the schedule
05:54:56 <Jafet> Or, things that should remain on the schedule must put themselves back each time.
05:55:28 <oren> Jafet: yeah, that could work too.
05:55:49 <oren> in other words, each run is a "revising" of the schedule
05:56:48 <Jafet> Well, it becomes a to-do list instead, such as http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/whenever.html

13:00:37 <oren> Are the computable numbers identical to the rationals?
13:00:49 <oerjan> no.
13:01:03 <oerjan> e.g. pi and e are computable
13:01:17 <elliott> also sqrts
13:01:28 <elliott> also, well, lots of things. most things :p
13:01:38 <oerjan> most continuous functions you've heard of are computable
13:01:51 <oerjan> discontinuous functions cannot be
13:02:03 <oren> I suppose if they weren't computable it wouldn't be very useful
13:02:25 <elliott> Chaitin's constant isn't computable, though
13:03:27 <oren> elliott: oh god, why would anyone even construct programs randomly
13:03:37 <b_jonas> oerjan: you mean continuous in which topology?
13:03:45 <b_jonas> is this about functions on the reals?
13:03:51 <elliott> oren: you can use chaitin's constant to decide the halting problem
13:04:07 <Eolus>  http://youtu.be/MuOvqeABHvQ
13:04:10 <Eolus> also hi
13:04:15 <oren> hi
13:04:23 <Eolus> square pie by 3
13:04:44 <b_jonas> meh, pi is just square root 10 minus some correction offset
13:04:48 <oerjan> b_jonas: yes reals
13:04:56 <elliott> hi
13:04:56 <Eolus> pie mmm
13:05:05 <oerjan> of course complex numbers also work
13:05:09 <Eolus> hello elliott 
13:08:11 <oren> what is the probability that a random program willdo something useful?
13:08:32 <b_jonas> oerjan: but in that case, aren't there still a continuum many continuous functions from reals to reals, whereas only like countably many computable functions?
13:09:12 <b_jonas> but I guess I've probably only seen a countably many
13:09:17 <b_jonas> or even fewer
13:11:44 <oerjan> b_jonas: the "you've heard of" was important
13:12:30 <Eolus> Random constants
13:13:15 <oerjan> basically, you won't get a non-computable continuous function by accident

13:57:54 <Eolus> so oerjan niedaw needs your help since you are of the smart and I'm terrible at helping persons of such nature
13:58:20 <Eolus> for ex? give us an exact language you want those for
13:58:47 <oerjan> as a rule i never help people when pushed to it hth
13:59:00 <Eolus> ok
13:59:13 <Eolus> oerjan you want some lemon bread
13:59:27 <Eolus> I made like seven loafs

14:11:35 <Eolus> this > let { x = 1 in x+1 is what you can do, or does it have to be { x = 1 } in x+1

14:13:38 <Eolus> so { doesn't work
14:13:46 <oerjan> but if you leave them out, they'll be automatically inserted by the parser in that case

23:21:14 <tswett> Sven said, Ted, send ten tents. Ted said, Sven, send ten cents. When Sven sent Ted ten cents, then Ted sent Sven ten tents.
23:22:27 <oerjan> those were some cheap tents
23:23:20 -!- ocharles_ has joined.
23:23:29 <tswett> Maybe they were some valuable cents.
23:23:57 <tswett> Or maybe Ted didn't really want the money and was just being a jerk.

23:33:45 <int-e> Penn hedged a plan to end the tent renting trend by sending ten tanks to tend to Ted and Sven.

23:35:11 <int-e> Clearly Ted should be called Trent.
23:35:38 <Taneb> It's stuff like "This is a group homomorphism." "This is a ring homomorphism" "This is a linear transformation" and like they are all the same shape of things
23:36:49 <Taneb> And my mind is going "Yes, these are all subcategories of eachother, of course they are the same thing"
23:36:51 <oerjan> Taneb: a linear transformation is of course a vector space homomorphism
23:37:03 <oerjan> it's just called something else for hysterical raisins
23:37:09 <Taneb> oerjan, yes, that was pointed out
23:37:31 <tswett> An arrow is just a natural transformation between two functors on 1.
23:37:31 <oerjan> and all of those fit in the same universal algebra framework
23:37:44 <Taneb> It doesn't really help matters much that my ring theory lecturer is the same person as my linear algebra lecturer
23:38:00 <oerjan> `? arrow
23:38:01 <HackEgo> Arrows are just strong monads in the category of profunctors.
23:38:08 <oerjan> hm different arrow
23:38:12 <oerjan> `? morphism
23:38:13 <HackEgo> Morphisms are just elements of the Hom-set of a pair of objects.
23:38:21 <Taneb> How do profunctors form a category?
23:38:31 <oerjan> tswett: you mean arrows = morphisms, right?
23:38:36 <tswett> oerjan: yeah.
23:38:56 <oerjan> `learn A morphism is just a natural transformation between two functors on 1.
23:38:59 <HackEgo> Learned 'morphism': A morphism is just a natural transformation between two functors on 1.
23:40:22 <vanila> `learn Zygohistomorphic-prepromorphism Used when you really need both semi-mutual recursion and history and to repeatedly apply a natural transformation as you get deeper into the functor

23:40:33 <HackEgo> Done.
23:40:39 <vanila> ??????????????
23:40:47 <oerjan> vanila: `learn doesn't work that way
23:41:05 <Taneb> I am right in thinking that the category of linear transformations and the category of ring homomorphisms are both subcategories of the category of group homomorphisms?

23:44:40 -!- CakeMeat has joined.
23:44:45 <CakeMeat> well fuck
23:44:46 <tswett> But going from the ring homomorphism to the group homomorphism forgets information.
23:45:13 <CakeMeat> my irc cloud account doesn't work
23:45:17 <CakeMeat> and I'm sad
23:45:30 <Taneb> tswett, isn't the homomorphism just a function with a few restrictions?

23:45:48 <tswett> Okay, I lied.
23:45:53 -!- CakeMeat has quit (Client Quit).
23:46:13 <tswett> But turning the domain and codomain from rings into groups forgets information.
23:46:39 <Taneb> I suppose
23:46:45 -!- CakeMeat has joined.
23:46:46 <int-e> sure.
23:46:50 <Taneb> Is it possible for there to be two rings with the same set and addition?
23:46:52 <CakeMeat> ffffdd
23:47:24 <oerjan> there's clearly a forgetful functor from rings to groups, but i don't know that those are thought of as subcategories?
23:47:24 <tswett> Taneb: yeah.
23:47:31 -!- adu has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
23:47:37 <Taneb> Hmm, I may be wrong then
23:47:46 <tswett> I think the integers with x added have the same addition group as the integers with sqrt(2) added.
23:47:49 <CakeMeat> sizzles in anger
23:48:01 <tswett> No, they don't.
23:48:09 <tswett> But the integers with sqrt(2) and the integers with sqrt(3).
23:48:26 <tswett> The addition group is Z^2 either way.
23:48:44 <int-e> tswett: but those are isomorphic; they don't have the same carrier.
23:49:00 <int-e> But for example, GF(2^2) has the same additive structure as (Z/2Z)^2.
23:49:03 <tswett> Well then, make them have the same carrier.
23:49:37 <tswett> As the homotopy type theorists say, if x is isomorphic to y, then x is y.
23:50:02 <int-e> (the latter dontes pairs of elements of Z/2Z with operations performed pointwise: (a,b)*(c,d) = (a*c,b*d))
23:50:50 <int-e> tswett: Sorry, you're right of course.
23:51:23 * int-e got distracted from the point (which is that Z[x]/(x^2-3) is a different ring from Z[x]/(x^2-2).)
23:51:32 <CakeMeat> ;-;
23:51:49 <CakeMeat> ELLIOTT!!!!!
23:52:04 <int-e> and I'm using these representations because they have the same carrier if one chooses polynomials of degree less than 2 as representatives.

01:11:32 <blockzombie> I'd like to evolve and optimise algorithms using a GA
01:11:36 <blockzombie> underload eh?
01:11:50 <oerjan> another concatenative one
01:11:58 <blockzombie> oh yeah joy is on my list too
01:12:32 <blockzombie> I'm not so much going for absurdity but I would like to enable self-modifying code
01:12:39 -!- tswett2 has joined.
01:13:07 <blockzombie> Do all these have separate program memory from the stack?
01:13:52 <int-e> Hmm, what exactly is self-modifying code? Is the lambda calculus self-modifying?
01:14:02 -!- tromp_ has joined.
01:14:07 <blockzombie> yeah it is 
01:14:13 <oerjan> well there's the control/return stack too, at least
01:14:22 <oerjan> (don't know about True and Dup)
01:14:39 <oerjan> ok in that case underload is also self-modifying
01:14:53 <blockzombie> I think the practical matter of self-modification is reaching into program data and reading constants and references
01:15:08 <oerjan> and joy, too.
01:15:37 <blockzombie> yeah but the stack and the symbol table are disconnected right?
01:15:48 -!- tswett has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
01:16:01 <oerjan> well underload has no symbol table
01:16:11 <blockzombie> I'd like to have a small instruction set but I'm aware of the turing tarpit quote from perlis
01:16:18 <blockzombie> I'll have to check underload
01:17:34 <blockzombie> woah that looks cute
01:18:57 <oerjan> ^ul (Underload! )(~:S:^):^
01:19:07 <oerjan> oops no fungot
01:19:16 <blockzombie> so there's "the program" memory
01:19:25 <blockzombie> and the ^ pops into it
01:19:39 <blockzombie> so it appends?
01:19:47 <blockzombie> oh inserts
01:20:07 <oerjan> you can also think of it as rewriting the program
01:20:11 <blockzombie> wow I'm going to have to think about this
01:20:19 <blockzombie> yeah I see that. I like the genericity
01:20:33 <blockzombie> that's really
01:20:35 <blockzombie>  nice
01:23:24 <blockzombie> thanks for the tip oerjan
01:23:30 <oerjan> you're welcome
01:24:10 <blockzombie> so awesome there's a compiler written in redcode 
01:24:19 <blockzombie> interpreter
01:26:57 <blockzombie> nice... scala underload compiler that compiles scala
01:27:09 <oerjan> i wrote one in emmental, which btw is a self-modifying language where you modify the language _itself_.  so my interpreter works by turning it into underload
01:27:24 <oerjan> oh and that's also stacky
01:27:56 -!- tswett3 has joined.
01:28:03 <blockzombie> yeah which
01:28:12 <blockzombie>  is not always awesome on jvm
01:28:32 <oerjan> i meant emmental

01:28:44 <blockzombie> enmental...
01:29:03 <blockzombie> good name
01:29:11 <oerjan> a bit cheesy
01:29:20 <blockzombie> I might need to let that soak in
01:29:47 <blockzombie> is the interpreter loaded into the program space?
01:30:29 <oerjan> i recall that you cannot really use the jvm stack directly for a stack language because the type checker won't accept it...
01:30:51 <blockzombie> what I'd love is a language where I can build crossover functions for a GA where the genotype corresponds to a program
01:30:57 -!- shikhin has joined.
01:31:25 <blockzombie> You can't use the stack directly in java but the real problem is there is no tail-call optimisation yet

01:58:26 <oerjan> seems to still be slowly falling
02:07:25 <blockzombie> price is crazy
02:07:51 <blockzombie> the price is not much affected by news on fundamentals at the moment
02:08:07 <blockzombie> it is mostly margin traders pushing it around
02:08:22 <blockzombie> they love the volatility... hedge funds are moving in now
02:08:39 <blockzombie> so we're likely to see a major drop before the next bubble
02:09:03 <blockzombie> definitely look into the tech though. 
02:09:42 <blockzombie> int-e: not sure which nightmares you mean
02:10:13 <oerjan> nighmares about dayjobs, i assume
02:10:16 <oerjan> *+t
02:10:41 <blockzombie> oerjan: i was asking whether you modify the language itself by having the program loaded in as a kind of #include for the interpreter and then self-modification === modifying the language
02:10:50 <blockzombie> oerjan: oh no jvm is not so bad
02:11:00 <blockzombie> java is pretty uninspiring
02:11:08 <blockzombie> scala and clojure are fun
02:11:26 <blockzombie> might try haskell properly this year
02:11:31 <blockzombie> I do get to play with stuff
02:11:36 <oerjan> well the emmental interpreter is in haskell
02:11:50 <oerjan> rather basic haskell in fact
02:12:09 <oerjan> (if i had written it it would have used a lot more higher order functions and monads)
02:12:17 <blockzombie> I'm convinced haskell is awesome.. I've looked at it just not really got my hands dirty
02:12:45 <blockzombie> did you not write it?

02:21:39 <blockzombie> I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what program representation poses the easiest crossover function. If you're familiar with GA you wan to "breed" two programs and ideally preserve implementation features from each program
02:23:00 <blockzombie> it seems very easy to end up with a situation like disassembling two clocks into a bag, shaking it and tipping out half. What you end up with is not much like a working clock - least one that shares much with either "parent"
02:23:44 <blockzombie> I'm familiar with evolving corewar warriors
02:26:51 <oerjan> i don't have any real experience with GA
02:27:01 -!- PinealGlandOptic has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
02:27:47 <oerjan> i was just looking at my own haskell program there, i had forgotten a lot of the trickiness.  also it was the first time i tried using lens.
02:33:58 <oerjan> blockzombie: maybe you could use something like chromosomes...
02:34:43 <oerjan> where your combined program parts are chosen from corresponding parts of the originals
02:35:50 <oerjan> it works to make living organisms have a good chance of still working, anyhow
02:38:02 <blockzombie> yeah but the mapping of parts has to be chosen 
02:38:11 <blockzombie> so what constitutes a part?
02:38:27 <blockzombie> in underload terms
02:38:53 <blockzombie> if there were modules then you could have intra and inter module variations
02:39:05 <blockzombie> with different change coefficients
02:39:38 <blockzombie> I like the idea. Is underload eqipped for this?
02:39:52 <oerjan> presumably a part would be a sequence of commands...
02:40:21 <oerjan> well i assume you would have to keep track of the parts outside underload.
02:41:29 <oerjan> underload doesn't have much in the way of analyzing its own subprograms.
02:41:58 <oerjan> in a safe way, anyway.
02:41:59 <blockzombie> yeah so part boundaries is what we're talking about. 
02:42:43 <blockzombie> I expect that something like 95% needs to be junk dna
02:42:50 <oerjan> heh
02:43:00 <blockzombie> I think this is how mutation levels are insulated against
02:43:08 <oerjan> that's a bit troublesome on a stack, actually.
02:43:17 <blockzombie> "junk dna" is a misnomer
02:43:40 <oerjan> because how does the non-junk find its data if the stack is filled with junk
02:43:58 -!- PinealGlandOptic has joined.
02:44:01 <oerjan> well, you do have nops i guess
02:44:11 <oerjan> ()! is the simplest
02:44:13 <blockzombie> yeah well I'm not saying the stack is filled with junk, but the program is
02:44:45 <blockzombie> the key is it's not clear which is junk and which is useful... that's up to the tree of future generations
02:44:47 <oerjan> well badly constructed junk would tend to seep onto the stack :P
02:44:58 <blockzombie> oerjan: that is OK in theory
02:45:15 <blockzombie> most dna is uncompetitive
02:45:49 <blockzombie> but if I had a RISC cpu emulator instead of underload would I be any better off?
02:45:54 <blockzombie> that's what I'm trying to decide
02:46:27 <oerjan> it might be that a language that keeps most of its data on the stack is unsuited to GA :(
02:46:29 <blockzombie> the first step is what set of producible programs are valid/executable
02:46:50 <blockzombie> if that is the case then I will use something else
02:46:52 <oerjan> because junk then gets in the way
02:47:16 <blockzombie> I was considering n-stacks
02:47:52 <blockzombie> like pointers to stacks, also potentially a symbol table of sorts
02:48:09 <blockzombie> so there's be a random lookup mechanism to keep parts and their data connected
02:48:35 <blockzombie> but the flip side is you want to enable code to read randomly because that's an essential combining effect
02:49:07 <blockzombie> the good news is I only really need numeric types and I don't need any output
02:49:27 <blockzombie> I can just halt and use the top of the stack as the "result"
02:49:40 <blockzombie> really only need a binary or ternary output
02:49:51 <blockzombie> maybe a scalar
02:50:04 <blockzombie> thinking aloud here
02:51:08 <blockzombie> reconsidering I think output is overkill... just use memory state at halt
03:08:57 <blockzombie> the reason I like the stack is because you can get away from having loads of abitrary operands. maybe the existence of operands is better than the alternative: long chains of stack manipulation code
03:09:15 <blockzombie> I'm in this channel because I can't figure this out
03:09:19 <blockzombie> yet

07:40:11 <AndoDaan> I was thinking of adding (more thinking about thinking of adding) a new catergory to the wiki. Esoteric languages usable on Anarchy Golf.
07:41:06 <AndoDaan> What would you guys think. It's one of the few (only) places you can program in bonafide esolangs where it's of some - competative - use.
07:41:55 <AndoDaan> And I came to esolangs via Anarchy Golf. I might not be the only one.
08:02:45 <Jafet> That doesn't seem useful because it depends on the whim of the anagol administrator; it could have anywhere from ten languages to the entire intersection of TC and Implemented
08:03:31 <Jafet> You could make it a list article instead. Then you can also add content which would not fit in a category page.
08:03:51 <AndoDaan> True. Good input. And that's a great idea.

15:16:58 <oerjan> hm the keyboard controls of tatham's Bridges are somewhat annoying, you cannot always easily undo a wrong cursor movement
15:18:01 <oerjan> because it's too easy to jump away from a node that's hard to get back to
15:26:04 <oerjan> which might be fine for a different kind of game, but here navigation isn't supposed to be the real puzzle...
15:26:08 <int-e> hmm, no java plugin here.
15:26:56 <oerjan> int-e: if you're looking at tatham's puzzles, i think there's also js versions? (i'm playing the offline downloaded versions)
15:28:45 <oerjan> (i'm not really assuming you're talking about that, mind you)
15:28:54 <int-e> ah it's Hashiwokakero.
15:29:35 <oerjan> lots of tatham's puzzles are renamed nikoli puzzles, i think

16:10:58 <int-e> oerjan: I see, but that's not how I understood your complaint at first. (Personally I don't really find myself wanting to undo much; however I do find myself pressing cursor keys randomly to get to a nearby-but-not-adjacent spot.)
16:11:44 <oerjan> yeah that just doesn't work...
16:12:13 <b_jonas> I see
16:13:07 <oerjan> undo is _very_ nice when you realize you've made a mistake a while ago
16:14:34 <oerjan> although i sometimes end up carefully undoing each step, checking if it was actually certain, getting back to the beginning of the game, winding forward and discovering my second to last step was fishier than it looked at first recheck
16:16:17 <oerjan> the unlimited undo mechanism is common to all of tatham's puzzles, of course.

00:58:34 <tswett> Well, I suppose you could say that everything is a Chu space.
00:58:42 <lurklurklurk> Hello
00:58:44 <tswett> But ZFC is a Chu space in a particular meaningful way.
00:58:47 <Taneb> boily, I did, but then I forgot
00:58:58 <Taneb> lurklurklurk, you seem to not be lurking particularly well
00:59:02 <boily> lurklurklurk: hi!
00:59:07 <tswett> Define the points as being the models of ZFC, and the states as being the statements in the language of ZFC.
00:59:22 <tswett> Then the r function is the truth function. 1 if the statement is true in the model, 0 if it's not.
01:00:04 <tswett> Every theory of a similar sort is a Chu space in the same way.
01:00:49 <oerjan> that sounds related to gödel's second completeness theorem
01:01:03 <tswett> So then a morphism from a theory A to a theory B consists of a mapping of models of A to models of B, and a mapping of statements of B to statements of A, where the two mappings are compatible.
01:02:00 <tswett> (Given a model m of A and a statement s in B, the image of s is true in m if and only if s is true in the image of m.)
01:02:19 <tswett> Pretty sure G&owithanumlaut;del only had one completeness theorem.
01:06:02 <boily> well, he started working on another, but he didn't finish.
01:06:13 <oerjan> oops
01:07:59 <tswett> The second incompleteness theorem, for ZFC: if the statement "ZFC has a model" is true in every model of ZFC, then there exist no models of ZFC.

01:15:57 <tswett> So I think this little fact generalizes to other types of theories without insanely much trouble.
01:16:02 <tswett> Like, consider the calculus of constructions.
01:17:25 <tswett> Points are models of the calculus of constructions. States are terms in the calculus of constructions. Then the r function is what value a term denotes in a model.

01:33:08 <oerjan> elliott: um nothing about it is automatic, but it's just a matter of making deriving (Typeable) also derive the corresponding Kindable instance for the datakind.  i have [] and () as examples in the file.
01:33:12 <elliott> right
01:38:49 <tswett> So certain theories seem to have "free models".
01:39:21 <tswett> Like, consider this theory:
01:40:05 <tswett> There exists an object x. For all objects x, there exists an object y.
01:40:27 <tswett> The free model of that theory is the natural numbers.
01:42:05 <tswett> I guess this is a better way of stating that theory. There exists an object 0. For all objects x, there exists an object S(x).
01:43:18 <Taneb> tswett, that is consistent with the natural numbers
01:43:29 <tswett> Indeed. The natural numbers are a model of that theory.
01:43:50 <tswett> Any set, along with a point in that set and a function from the set to itself, is a model of that theory.
01:43:57 <tswett> But the natural numbers are the free model.
01:44:05 <tswett> I think my idea of a "free model" might be the same thing as a term model.
01:44:08 <Taneb> Is the set {{}} a model?
01:44:55 <oerjan> obviously
01:45:03 <tswett> Yeah. 0 = {}, and S({}) = {}.
01:45:47 <oerjan> that's also a free algebra
01:46:02 <oerjan> i mean, the natural numbers with the operation S
01:46:35 <tswett> Right. An algebra is pretty much a type of model, right?
01:46:43 <oerjan> pretty much
01:46:57 <tswett> An algebra is the same thing as a model, a type-of-algebra is the same thing as a theory.
01:47:01 <tswett> More or less.
01:47:30 <oerjan> although this type-of-algebra is a variety.
01:48:35 <oerjan> well, with no equations, even
01:49:08 <oerjan> (does that mean it's a free variety?)
01:51:11 <tswett> Now, categories aren't a type-of-algebra, right? Categories are two-sorted, and one of the sorts is parameterized by the other.
01:51:45 <oerjan> you can ignore the objects and use the identity morphisms instead
01:52:07 <oerjan> however the fact composition isn't always defined may be a bigger problem
01:53:20 <tswett> Ooh, ooh. Lemme see if I understand the proof of the model existence theorem.
01:53:39 <tswett> Suppose we have a consistent theory in first-order logic.
01:54:10 <tswett> Given a statement, there are three possibilities: the theory entails that it's true, the theory entails that it's false, or the statement is independent of the theory.
01:54:38 <tswett> So look through all statements that exist. Whenever you find a statement that's independent of the theory, just arbitrarily decide whether it's true or false.
01:55:01 <tswett> Now you have an assignment of a truth value to every possible statement.
01:55:09 <oerjan> um it needs to be independent of the theory and the statements you've already decided
01:55:17 <tswett> Right.
01:56:00 <tswett> Then... I don't know if you can go from this assignment of a truth value to every statement to a model.
01:57:44 <oerjan> i think for every existence theorem that you've decided to be true, you need to choose a witness for it
01:57:54 <oerjan> *existence statement
01:58:18 <tswett> Yeah, we need to have witnesses.
01:58:26 <oerjan> oh and then you get to decide statements involving that witness as a free variable

02:01:21 <oerjan> and then you probably use zorn's lemma to show you've got a maximal element where everything is decided and everything has witnesses
02:01:44 <tswett> Boy.
02:01:53 <oerjan> (element of the set of partial assignments)
02:02:39 <oerjan> or maybe you don't actually need choice, i don't know this
02:07:27 <tswett> Well, the set of all statements is countable.
02:08:04 <tswett> You can just enumerate them and say that each nondisprovable one is true, or each nonprovable one is false.
02:08:11 <tswett> Except that doesn't give you witnesses.
02:08:34 <tswett> Anyway, I guess you ultimately get a model just by saying that each term is an element of the model, and you glue two terms together if the model entails that the two terms are equal.
02:08:49 <tswett> Er, if the augmented theory entails that.

02:39:03 <tswett> I definitely feel like there should be a concept of morphisms between models. There probably is.
02:39:17 <tswett> There pretty much has to be.
02:40:33 <tswett> I guess it depends on the flavor of theory, though.
02:41:01 <tswett> The group axioms are a sort of theory, right? A model of the group axioms is a group.
02:41:33 <tswett> And a morphism between two models of the group axioms is a function such that, what.

02:44:23 <naturalog> hi. i was wondering lately, why Notation3 isnt used as a programming language per-se
02:47:15 <naturalog> and couldnt come up with anything :)
02:47:41 <tswett> Well, can you write fizzbuzz in it?
02:48:00 <naturalog> any dtlc
02:48:17 <naturalog> any HOL
02:48:35 <tswett> What's a DTLC?
02:48:44 <naturalog> dependently typed lambda calculus
02:48:46 <naturalog> e.g. Idris
02:48:52 <naturalog> agda
02:49:03 <naturalog> coq
02:49:28 <tswett> Sounds pretty nice.
02:49:35 <tswett> And is it interpretable?
02:49:56 <naturalog> well...yes and no
02:50:12 <naturalog> you dont actually interpret it, you ask it logic questions
02:50:38 <naturalog> on the other hand you could translate it isomorphically to Idris then idris compiler will compile it to C and gcc from there
02:51:00 <naturalog> but you actually query it with tools like cwm
02:52:07 <naturalog> like "given those rules, what should i do now?"
02:52:11 <boily> if it's isomorphic to Idris, then there exists a map from Idris to Notation3.
02:52:25 <naturalog> sure there's a map
02:52:25 <boily> so program in Idris, then translate.
02:52:49 <naturalog> well it sounds better to program in n3 and then translate. or not translate at all, but query, or infer
02:53:46 <naturalog> ofc Curry-Howard isomorphism has to be kept in mind wrt this

03:30:02 <oren> I just realized something: Perl and python code is easy to write but herd to read because it lacks redundancy.
03:31:01 <oren> e.g. python variables never state what exactly their type or usage is.
03:31:41 <oren> So why not make an interpreter which, as it executes, inserts redundancy into the surce
03:32:21 <oren> redundant information such as the type of variables
03:33:42 <naturalog> +1
03:36:57 <oren> In the original source it might say "var x = y * z", but after you run it the first time, the source now says "matrix[batch_size,number_of_outputs] x = y * z"
03:44:48 <oren> C++ could also use such thing. E.g. have an auto type, but have it replaced upon compilation with the variable's actual type
03:47:22 <elliott> in lots of editing environments for languages with type inference you can query the inferred type of some expression or variable in the code
04:01:31 <int-e> oerjan: your latest code on #9858 scares me.
04:04:08 * oerjan cackles evilly
04:04:20 <oerjan> well, you were right that type families were a good idea
04:05:01 <oerjan> and i was right that having things be superclasses was a good idea
04:06:22 <oerjan> also, my hands hate you for suggesting 30 x 30 bridges hth
04:08:23 <int-e> oerjan: Putting the constraints directly in the type family is quite clever. Anyway, there's still the question of whether one wants to track the whole kind of type constructors or just the poly-kinded arguments. For the former, you need the Kindable superclass for Typeable; for the latter, perhaps you don't.
04:09:45 <int-e> (I did the latter, which in retrospect is the main reason why the KindRep stuff didn't infect the normal Typeable (s a) instance.)
04:11:38 <oerjan> well my point in having Kindable a superclass is so it doesn't have to mentioned explicitly in type signatures, giving backwards compatibility
04:11:44 <oerjan> *to be
04:14:11 <oerjan> also my instance code for Typeable (a b) doesn't mention Kindable now.
04:15:07 <oerjan> and also i don't put the kind in the TypeRep for the monokind types
04:15:42 <oerjan> although it's still in the superclass of course

04:22:26 <Lilax> ok so just getting used to and chat
04:27:32 <int-e> oerjan: So essentially, you've circumvented the open world assumption, saying "well, whatever the instance is, it *will* contain evidence for the parts, just as if the standard instance had been used."
04:27:50 <int-e> So tricky.
04:28:32 <int-e> But it's a complication that the compiler doesn't actually face.
04:29:10 <oerjan> have you looked at my kind-polymorphic recursion test cases?
04:29:18 <int-e> oerjan: on the matter of not breaking code, I wonder how many uses that amount to variations on  typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy Proxy)  are out there.
04:32:34 <oerjan> obviously there are no working uses out there that depend on typeReps actually distinguishing kinds
04:35:54 <int-e> oerjan: Okay, let me split that up into two questions.  1. Are there any users who inadvertently use a Typeable instance whose kind is not fully instantiated at runtime?  2. What will the [user-visible] type of  typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy Proxy)  be under the proposed solutions? I *hope* that the Kindable (or Typeable) constraint for the kind will show up in that type.
04:37:08 <oerjan>     No instance for (Kindable Proxy) arising from a use of ‘typeRep’
04:37:08 <oerjan>     The type variable ‘k0’ is ambiguous
04:40:24 <oerjan> istr there's an Any_K or something that's used when a kind isn't known
04:41:29 <oerjan> i deliberately didn't suggest any test cases that pick up a kind from something non-Typeable passed in
04:41:53 <oerjan> because i feel those "morally" shouldn't compile
04:42:25 <oerjan> and making them actually work would essentially require having no kind erasure
04:42:42 <oerjan> imo
04:44:23 <oerjan> i don't know whether anyone has mixed Typeable with code depending on kind polymorphism in an essential way.
04:44:25 * Lilax cries silently

04:50:06 -!- naturalog has quit (Quit: leaving).
04:50:07 <int-e> oerjan: Hmm, I need to think about this some more. 
04:50:54 <oerjan> int-e: what i can see happening is some polymorphic code with signature (Typeable a, Typeable b) => ...  and then applying some polymorphic type constructor to an (a b) inside
04:51:26 <oerjan> that's the most likely case where the "solver" solution needs to decompose kinds
04:52:02 <int-e> oerjan: If one goes against your stated "moral" principle, just using Any_K will be insufficient, because it cannot distinguish kinds (forall k. k -> k) and (forall k1 k2. k1 -> k2) or ((forall k.k) -> (forall k.k)).
04:52:12 <oerjan> if you cannot actually deduce that a b's kind is Kindable, then you cannot make a Typeable instance for the polymorphic type constructor
04:53:08 <oerjan> um is Any_K a kind or a type again
04:54:05 <Lilax> haskell?
04:54:24 <Lilax> I'm still a noob :0

04:57:00 -!- naturalog has joined.
04:57:40 <oerjan> i cannot remember where i found it
04:58:18 <oerjan> int-e: probably kinds tend to default to * anyway
05:00:15 <oerjan> int-e: anyway, the representation i made up today is meant to work about the way i understood goldfire's explanation of how the solver would work, except written in existing haskell.
05:01:35 <oerjan> and as i've mentioned, i believe the essential need to decompose kind representations comes about already when constructing Typeable (a b)
05:03:21 <int-e> oerjan: There is this interesting sentence on the wiki page: "Although it is impossible to create all necessary Typeable instances for poly-kinded constructors at the definition site (there's an infinite number), it is possible to create Typeable "instances" on demand at use sites."
05:03:49 <int-e> Oh well.
05:03:58 <Lilax> Mhmm
05:04:30 <oerjan> yes, that's the sentence that made me think they were only constructing kind-monomorphic instances, and led to me making those test examples
05:04:54 <oerjan> i think i've disproved that sentence now :P
05:05:20 <int-e> Yeah, I'll add a comment.
05:05:42 <oerjan> ooh

05:24:07 -!- GeekDude has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
05:36:58 <oerjan> int-e: i don't think it's impossible to adjust my representation to be more clever about leaving out redundant kind info in TypeReps
05:46:01 <int-e> hmm, that took longer than expected.
05:46:16 <oerjan> what did?
05:46:24 <int-e> the comment :P
05:48:43 <int-e> but I hope I managed to express the concern that hiding evidence is bad.
05:52:09 <int-e> I should've used that phrase...
05:52:25 <oerjan> hm now i'm worrying about your second point too
05:52:33 <elliott> int-e: I suspect kinds default to *.
05:52:38 <elliott> I have no evidence, though.
05:52:44 <elliott> maybe Core will tell you
05:53:13 <int-e> elliott: I don't think any defaulting happens at all.
05:53:20 <oerjan> elliott: my tests with my implementation indicate that the kind stays ambiguous and the program fails to compile.
05:53:26 <int-e> The kinds are erased after all. Who cares if they're still polymorphic ;-)
05:53:29 <elliott> hmm, alright.
05:53:38 <elliott> int-e: that is basically like GHC's "Any" stuff then
05:53:40 <elliott> (just, implicitly)
05:54:24 <int-e> Except when they aren't erased, and that's what happens with oerjan's code.
05:54:30 <oerjan> int-e: for the first point, my idea was that all Kindable contexts have to come from a Typeable one, which must be explicit if it is now.
05:55:20 <elliott> I think kinds should be able to be instances before anything like this i done
05:55:23 <elliott> *is
05:55:29 <elliott> so that you can just use Typeable rather than adding a new class.
05:55:33 <int-e> oerjan: Oh, mumble. I wanted to mention that that function currently has type  Proxy Proxy -> TypeRep
05:55:56 <int-e> oerjan: So for backward compatibility, it cannot take a Typeable context.
05:56:15 <oerjan> ooh
05:56:42 <oerjan> ic.  i suspect this will be a problem for _all_ the suggested solutions.
05:59:47 <int-e> Ok, I clarified that.
05:59:49 <oerjan> int-e: if there is an _explicit_ type signature, then i think kinds default to *.
06:00:30 <oerjan> if there is _not_ an explicit type signature, then inferring a Typeable constraint, or defaulting to * if there is a monomorphism restriction involved, might be the best thing.
06:01:29 <oerjan> although i guess with my method the constraint would actually be Kindable.  oh well.
06:02:22 <oerjan> i suspect in most cases that appear in practice, * will be what's intended if there is nothing to disambiguate.
06:05:12 <oerjan> <elliott> I think kinds should be able to be instances before anything like this i done <-- that's not _quite_ the same thing as types and kinds being able to be instances of the _same_ class.  both would help here, of course.
06:05:49 <int-e> oerjan: Anyway, I never considered burying kindable evidence as a possible solution, so I always assumed that any solution that closes the Typeable hole would break *some* code.
06:05:54 <elliott> oerjan: right, that's what I mean.
06:05:57 <elliott> oerjan: get that done before doing all this.
06:06:04 <elliott> ''
06:06:05 <elliott> oops
06:06:20 <elliott> int-e: I think it's fine for code to pick up additional Typeable constraints, honestly
06:06:23 <oerjan> elliott: well this is meant to be a stopgap solution for 7.10, first.
06:06:31 <elliott> like, come on, BBP and everything ish appening
06:06:38 <elliott> oerjan: I guess this way doesn't break compatibility so it would be "okay"
06:06:47 <elliott> but please fix it at some point, thanks :p
06:08:35 <oerjan> int-e: well i always assumed there would be some _possible_ code that could break, but your typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy Proxy)  example has convinced me it's more likely than i thought that it's actually out there.
06:09:01 -!- shikhin has joined.
06:10:04 <int-e> well, let's see what Richard (and perhaps SPJ) think about this
06:11:11 <oerjan> if we didn't worry about breaking backwards compatibility at _all_, then i'd go for making the kinds fully explicit instead of extracting things deeply from Typeable.
06:11:43 <int-e> oerjan: And this is why I suggested to push this to 7.12.
06:12:11 -!- shikhin_ has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
06:14:17 <oerjan> although i think your second issue can be mostly solved by default a bit more aggressively to *
06:14:20 <int-e> (I mean, I had vague ideas in my mind that suggested that any proper solution for plugging the Typeable whole would necessarily break compatibility, and a conviction (which I still have) that doing so after 2 RCs would be bad.)
06:14:26 <oerjan> *defaulting
06:14:49 <elliott> oerjan: that would be weird though
06:14:52 <int-e> oerjan: Yeah, (And elliott: I'm happy with extra Typeable constraints popping up for such code, too.)
06:14:56 <elliott> like stuff randomly gets monokinded
06:15:08 <elliott> and you fix it by adding a typeclass instance(??)
06:15:11 <elliott> er
06:15:13 <elliott> typeclass constraint
06:15:46 <oerjan> elliott: well it would still be _inferred_ with the typeclass instance. i mean defaulting to * in essentially the same cases type defaulting happens.
06:15:54 <elliott> ah
06:16:01 <elliott> okay, maybe that would work.

06:20:06 <Lilax> ye
06:23:54 <oren> i have invented a new direction: doup which is sort of down or up depending on context.
06:24:18 <oerjan> it depends on the gravity of the situation
06:24:41 <oerjan> or levity, depending on context
06:26:01 <Lilax> What's the void inbetween dimensions called?
06:26:05 <oren> oerjan: it also allows Y and upside down Y nodes to have the same structure
06:26:05 <int-e> oren: sounds like "up" which means "down" on ${OPPOSITE_CONTINENT}.
06:26:20 <Lilax> lol
06:27:24 <oerjan> Lilax: that's not a scientific concept, so probably varies wildly between religion / crackpot / scifi writer / superhero series

15:54:11 <int-e> oerjan: unbelievable
15:54:29 <int-e> . o O ( I find your lack of faith disturbing )
15:55:59 <b_jonas> oerjan: I just don't understand it. I hope the explanation will continue in the next strip or the next few.
15:56:16 <b_jonas> with flashbacks.
15:57:11 <oerjan> int-e: i don't think goldfire got your point
15:57:34 <oerjan> alternatively, he envisions the solver as being more magical than i do
15:57:55 -!- SopaXorzTaker has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
15:59:37 <int-e> oerjan: Hmm, let me see...
16:00:07 <fizzie> b_jonas: It will probably still be maybe two weeks.
16:01:29 <oerjan> (i assume your point is that _currently_, that code gets inferred to a signature not containint Typeable (Proxy ...) at all)
16:01:40 <oerjan> *g
16:01:49 <b_jonas> fizzie: ok
16:01:50 <int-e> oerjan: I think this stuff is actually fairly easy on the type inference level. Any constraint that can't be solved immediately (and an unknown kind means that the Typeable constraint is not solvable) ends up being propagated upwards.
16:02:42 <oerjan> int-e: well i agree wthat it's easy, but also it's not backwards-compatible
16:02:46 <oerjan> *-w
16:02:56 <int-e> oerjan: At least my impression was that most of the complications our mock implementations ran into had to do with the open world assumption. When treating Typeable specially (and that is the plan), the compiler isn't bound by it.
16:03:14 <oerjan> um i don't see the difference, really
16:03:32 <oerjan> the type signature still has to change, either way.
16:03:44 <oerjan> otherwise, kinds no longer become subject to type erasure.
16:04:50 <oerjan> because a signature that doesn't mention that the kind needs to be Kindable _somehow_ implies that the function has an ABI where the kind _does_ get erased.
16:05:03 <oerjan> *, implies
16:06:25 <oerjan> maybe i should make a comment
16:07:16 <b_jonas> "kinds no longer become subject to type erasure" -- I don't know what that means but it sounds scary
16:07:54 <b_jonas> oh, you mean kind parameters inside types when they don't influence the resulting type, right?
16:08:04 <b_jonas> wasn't that what this typable stuff was about?
16:08:44 <b_jonas> or maybe not
16:08:48 <b_jonas> I don't know how it works
16:09:00 <oerjan> yes.  but the attempt is to make this backwards compatible, and int-e's test case would seem to break that.

16:33:52 <TieSoul> un-inventing brainfuck souds like a good idea
16:33:59 <TieSoul> there's too many damn derivatives
16:34:34 <TieSoul> but I have a feeling people would make derivatives of some other random esolang instead if brainfuck were un-invented
16:34:57 <TieSoul> and then we'd have to un-invent those
16:35:11 <TieSoul> and eventually we'd have no esolangs left
16:35:25 <J_Arcane> I should make another retro language one of these days.
16:35:49 <TieSoul> except maybe eodermdrome because nobody wants to try implementing eodermdrome :P
16:36:27 <b_jonas> TieSoul: why is implementing relevant? people invent languages they don't try to implement.
16:36:35 <b_jonas> J_Arcane: what's a "retro language" like?
16:36:40 <TieSoul> well
16:36:41 <TieSoul> true
16:36:56 <J_Arcane> b_jonas: like VIOLET. Or that COBOL-parody punchcard language.
16:36:58 <TieSoul> but only having unimplemented languages seems pointless
16:37:11 <J_Arcane> Something meant to feel like it could've been developed in the 1970s.
16:37:21 <b_jonas> I see
16:39:59 <Jafet> Eodermdrome has been implemented... multiple times, in fact
16:40:53 <TieSoul> yeah, I just learned about that

16:45:11 <Jafet> Look to the future--there is probably yet room for a good satire of ecmascript
16:47:02 <J_Arcane> http://fortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/
16:47:54 <J_Arcane> Jafet: Much as I'm starting to love it, ecmascript is it's own parody already: https://twitter.com/abt_programming/status/563318058996224000
16:48:10 <Jafet> Hence "good"
16:50:09 <int-e> oerjan: Btw, I'm not sure that some sort of Kindable information isn't required in general; I think comment 47 indicates that Richard sort of agrees, but hopes to cover that information in a TypeRep? Hmm :)
16:53:49 <oerjan> Jafet: ESMEscript hth
16:54:09 * oerjan hands out vomit bags
16:55:39 <J_Arcane> Enterprise-Grade JavaScript. ;)
16:56:12 <J_Arcane> Ahahahaha: https://github.com/ajlopez/CobolScript
16:56:44 <Jafet> Is that a parody or an enhancement?
16:57:08 <J_Arcane> It is apparently real software, transpiling COBOL to JS ...
16:57:10 <oerjan> int-e: so far, i've seen nothing to indicate my mock implementation will be that different from what they end up with in terms of actual information passed.
16:58:14 <oerjan> um that statement might need some careful interpretation
16:58:45 <oerjan> i'm saying, the might not use superclasses, but if so they'll end up passing the same information in a different way.
16:58:49 <oerjan> *+y
16:59:19 <Jafet> Oh, it actually uses COBOL as input, which makes it quite commercially oriented
16:59:30 <oerjan> a solver might be more clever about how it extracts things

17:13:41 <int-e> oerjan: and another comment...
17:13:56 <int-e> oerjan: this one should be closer to your concerns about Kindable :)
17:17:37 <oerjan> g :: forall (k :: BOX) (a :: k) (b :: k). Kindable Proxy => Proxy a -> Proxy b -> PolyTypeable2.TypeRep
17:18:01 <oerjan>  :t 's printing of kinds is so annoying
17:18:25 <int-e> oerjan: yeah, but simplified that will be what I wrote:  g :: Typeable k => Proxy (a :: k) -> Proxy (b :: k) -> TypeRep
17:18:49 <int-e> oerjan: (simplified by getting rid of the Proxy-that-only-serves-to-make-the-class-parameter-have-kind-*)
17:19:07 <oerjan> yeah probably
17:19:23 <oerjan> that's the inferred type anyway
17:20:16 <b_jonas> int-e: what? no, you're getting it backwards
17:20:37 <int-e> b_jonas: are you sure?
17:20:48 <oerjan> oh hm i see what you're saying: it's not necessarily possible to infer a non-kind based type
17:21:00 <b_jonas> int-e: you need the proxy because a method in the cass isn't allowed to have a type that doesn't depend on the class arguments, such as Typerep, it has to depend on them, so you need at least a proxy
17:21:18 <b_jonas> int-e: minValue in enum should use such a proxy too
17:21:18 <oerjan> yeah, Kindable or the like is needed for sensible type inference
17:21:53 <b_jonas> if you wish, you could add a convenience function for the simple case when you already have a value of that type, but you shouldn't need a value, a proxy should be enough
17:22:13 <oerjan> b_jonas: um you need the proxy because classes cannot have arguments that are kinds.
17:22:45 <int-e> b_jonas: That's wrong. The class method could take a proxy, and in fact it does: Data.Typeable.Internal.typeRep# :: GHC.Prim.Proxy# a -> TypeRep
17:22:46 <b_jonas> oerjan: oh, you mean Kindable needs a proxy for that?
17:22:50 <oerjan> yes
17:22:56 <b_jonas> I thoguht you asked why Typable needs a proxy
17:22:59 <b_jonas> ok... dunno
17:23:08 <int-e> b_jonas: Sorry, but oerjan got this right.
17:23:35 <oerjan> there's a proposal on the Typeable ghc trac wiki page to change Typeable to use a phantom type instead.
17:23:50 <oerjan> unrelated to this bug
17:24:59 <b_jonas> ok. but I mean, how would you use Typeable on a type that isn't of kind * without such a proxy with a phantom type?
17:25:00 <int-e> b_jonas: *personally* I would prefer   newtype Tagged a b = Tagged b, and typeRep# :: Tagged a TypeRep. And in fact that's pretty much what the TTypeRep idea accomplishes.
17:25:19 <int-e> b_jonas: So I disagree about the minValue; I want to eliminate the proxies instead.
17:25:39 <int-e> b_jonas: at least from the class methods. They are still useful for convenience functions.
17:25:47 <b_jonas> int-e: a constructor wrapper instead of a functions? sure, that would be better

17:27:17 <b_jonas> not Enum
17:28:07 <b_jonas> you know, we in C++ have more easy to remember names for important stuff like this, namely numeric_limits<T>::lowest() and numeric_limits<T>::max()
17:28:21 <b_jonas> those don't take a dummy argument
17:28:29 <oerjan> int-e: i'm a little bit miffed that they didn't include Tagged in base when they absorbed Proxy.
17:28:44 <int-e> If so,  minBound :: Bounded a => a  is perfect. minBound :: Proxy a -> a  would carry unnecessary runtime cost. However, there may be a case for defining a small convenience function outside the class,  minBoundProxy :: Enum a => Proxy a -> a; minBoundProxy _ = minBound.

18:25:37 <oren> I am imagining a source file consisting of defining the network and the format of training data, and a "compilation" consisting of training the network.
18:26:13 <oren> But the network can also contain parts that are defined algorithmically, and not trained 
18:28:33 <oren> The final executable would incorporate the trained network(s).
18:42:22 <Jafet> Just define the whole network by training data...
18:42:45 <Jafet> Naturally, the program input is the validation data.
18:44:13 <oren> Jafet: but formatting??? the input has to be defined as to which parts are ignored, how to segment it.

19:08:13 <oren> (Assuming feed-forward network architecture)
19:10:44 <oren> Cat could be INPUT FORMAT((CHAR C)*,EOF) NET INPUT(C) NET TARGET(C)
19:11:35 <oren> Or maybe a more terse syntax
19:14:19 <Jafet> Alternatively you can use a recurrent network to get mutable state more easily.

13:00:14 <Taneb> Officially learnt about the "Fundamental Theorem of Linear Transformations" today
13:00:45 <Taneb> It seems very similar to what I know as the "Fundamental Theorem of Group Homomorphisms"
13:01:08 <Taneb> Both are S/Ker(phi) ~= Im(phi)
13:01:12 <Taneb> Is there something deeper going on?

13:05:43 <b_jonas> but that's not really "something deeper" I guess
13:05:52 <Taneb> b_jonas, but a vector space has more conditions than a group
13:05:59 <b_jonas> Taneb: yes, so?
13:06:12 <Taneb> And not all group homomorphisms end up as linear transformations
13:06:32 <b_jonas> sure
13:06:57 <Taneb> Oh wait

15:56:39 <oerjan> Taneb: so it's about several groups of people falling from prosperity, through great disaster, and into a continued life of trouble and chaos?
15:57:02 <Taneb> oerjan, it made me realise that Choking may in fact be DMM
15:58:11 <oerjan> wat
15:58:21 <Taneb> Or... hang on
15:58:26 <Taneb> DMM's body and Hitler's brain

16:13:31 <b_jonas> what? no way
16:13:42 <b_jonas> DMM is present as a self-insert in IWC and he's not the same as Choking
16:13:55 <b_jonas> he time travels and almost kills himself or something
16:20:46 <oerjan> b_jonas: it's actually hitler who is the same as choking
16:20:49 <oerjan> hth
16:21:04 <oerjan> also, there's not "almost" about it.
16:21:08 <oerjan> *-t
16:23:11 <Koen__> are you all regular fans of iwc?
16:23:26 <oerjan> definitely
16:23:31 <b_jonas> yes
16:23:58 <oerjan> it was the first webcomic i read, and i learned about it on this channel.
16:24:24 <oerjan> Taneb and b_jonas traveled in the opposite direction :P
16:26:26 <Taneb> Yeah, it was my first webcomic, and eventually got me into esolangs and actually CS as a whole
16:26:29 <int-e> I used to like IWC but got bored around the 2700 strips mark.
16:27:09 <oerjan> <Taneb> Is there something deeper going on? <-- yes. there are versions of those theorems for universal algebras.
16:27:18 <b_jonas> the first webcomic I read was StickManStickMan, now at http://stickman.qntm.org/index.php , which was already completed when I first read it
16:27:21 <Taneb> Universal... algebra?
16:27:33 <b_jonas> heh
16:28:03 <oerjan> Taneb: think of groups, monoids, rings, vector spaces etc. as all being special cases of operations on a set
16:28:37 <b_jonas> oerjan: do you mean K-vector spaces for a particular fixed field K?
16:28:45 <oerjan> b_jonas: well yeah
16:28:55 <oerjan> if _some_ of the operations give you a group, then you have kernels, and the theorems have essentially the same form.  otherwise you need to use "congruences".
16:29:42 <oerjan> but otherwise it's quite analogous regardless of the type of algebra.
16:30:20 <b_jonas> oerjan: ok, and how much extra do you need for the form on finitely generated vector spaces, where you can also claim that the dimension of of the source space is equal to the dimension of the kernel plus the dimension of the image?
16:30:51 <oerjan> b_jonas: ouch.  that doesn't even hold for modules i think, so quite specific.
16:31:05 <oerjan> modules aren't always free and so don't have a basis.
16:31:28 <b_jonas> oerjan: yes, it's specific for vector spaces, but quite important
16:31:47 <b_jonas> I'm not sure what happens in infinite dimensional spaces
16:31:58 <oerjan> i think it may be summarized as "all vector spaces are free"
16:32:07 <oerjan> although i'm not sure if that's enough
16:32:13 -!- S1 has joined.
16:32:45 <oerjan> in fact there's probably a module counterexample about free submodules of free modules behaving nicely
16:33:08 <oerjan> my memory of that stuff is old
16:33:18 <b_jonas> you don't really have a sane dimension in modules
16:33:37 <b_jonas> not even when finitely generated
16:34:27 <b_jonas> Infinite vector spaces supposedly have a basis and so they have a dimension, though I've never tried to understand the proof for this. It's an axiom of choice thing.
16:34:44 -!- skj3gg has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
16:34:52 <b_jonas> I take it on faith.
16:35:04 <oerjan> int-e: you seem to have become bored about when dmm started wrapping things up for the finale...

16:35:56 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
16:37:03 <oerjan> <b_jonas> I'm not sure what happens in infinite dimensional spaces <-- i think it still holds as long as you sum cardinalities.  of course you cannot subtract then.
16:37:12 -!- MDream has changed nick to MDude.
16:37:57 <oerjan> b_jonas: yeah it's basically about using zorn's lemma to increase your independent set until it generates everything.
16:38:12 <oerjan> nothing complicated, actually.
16:38:55 <oerjan> just it needs the big cannon
16:40:21 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
16:40:27 <b_jonas> Meh, the zorn lemma isn't the big cannon.

16:40:57 <b_jonas> Not when the calculus guys use basic theorems whose proofs are really complicated, unlike that of the zorn lemma.
16:40:58 <oerjan> well then there's nothing complicated at all :P
16:41:09 <int-e> oerjan: yeah maybe he should've done that sooner then *ducks*

16:41:38 * oerjan swats int-e -----###
16:42:41 <b_jonas> well, http://mathoverflow.net/a/99568/5340 states zorn lemma is big guns in the sense I claim it's not
16:46:22 <oerjan> Taneb: anyway, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism_theorem#General
16:46:47 <b_jonas> also, aren't there two or three fundamental theorems?
16:47:08 <oerjan> three, see link
16:47:57 <oerjan> the one discussed here is the first
16:48:27 <b_jonas> ok wait, I don't think I want to do universal algebra directly, so let me look at the group ones, those I'll probably recognize
16:50:00 <b_jonas> Yes, I think I've heared of these for groups.
16:50:49 <b_jonas> And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank%E2%80%93nullity_theorem is the one about vector space dimensions

16:52:20 -!- oren has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
16:53:11 <oerjan> i was about to link that
16:55:20 <oerjan> to get an intuition for the general, you need to understand that kernels/normal subgroups/ideals are all specific ways of encoding a congruence
16:55:25 <b_jonas> `? isomorphism theorem
16:55:27 <HackEgo> isomorphism theorem? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
16:55:31 <b_jonas> `? algebra
16:55:32 <HackEgo> algebra? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
16:56:11 <b_jonas> oerjan: yes, that's true
16:56:35 <b_jonas> you need that to understand normal subgroups and ideals in rings in first place
16:57:19 <Phantom__Hoover> oerjan, at least in the first case that's just stating the standard definition with slightly different terms
16:57:37 -!- ais523 has joined.
16:57:39 <Phantom__Hoover> i dunno about the second and third because, well, who actually gives a shit about the second and third isomorphism theorems
16:57:39 <b_jonas> or maybe right ideals 
16:57:49 <b_jonas> Phantom__Hoover: what? they're useful
16:58:12 <Phantom__Hoover> even my galois theory lecturer didn't actually know them
16:58:33 <b_jonas> that's not an excuse
16:58:39 -!- GeekDude has changed nick to }{FISH}.
16:59:09 <oerjan> also, defining a congruence as a subalgebra of A x A may be elegant, but maybe not the most pedagogic way.
16:59:35 <oerjan> also, i agree with both of you, they're useful but i can only remember the first :P
17:00:21 <oerjan> without straining my brain, anyhow
17:00:43 <b_jonas> I mean, you use them all the time without referring to them explicitly
17:00:44 <Phantom__Hoover> the second and third are useful properties of algebraic quotients; the first fundamentally encapsulates what algebraic quotients are
17:00:57 -!- skj3gg has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
17:01:21 <oerjan> anyway, should be going ->
17:01:28 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Later).
17:01:47 <Phantom__Hoover> i remember when i saw the thing about short exact sequences and quotients in hatcher it seemed like witchcraft, even though it's fairly simple
17:01:52 <b_jonas> which is the usual way algebra works
17:02:09 -!- zzo38 has joined.
17:07:33 <Koen__> b_jonas: you can actually do a lot of things with ideals without understanding they have anything to do with congruences

17:14:31 -!- oren has joined.
17:14:53 <Koen__> random thought: why are there so many brainfuck derivatives and so few Turing-machine derivatives on the wiki?
17:17:09 <MDude> They're basically the same thing, technically.
17:17:59 <MDude> Brainfuck with an endless tape is just a specific kind of turing machine, as is P''.
17:18:03 <Koen__> well that's my point! but Turing-machines are historically more relevant, and in my opinion, more fun
17:21:07 <zzo38> It is very easy to compile brainfuck or P'' into Turing machines as each instruction would easily correspond to one state, although sometimes you can merge states
17:22:30 <Koen__> I'm just saying
17:24:55 -!- rodgort has joined.
17:30:09 <oren> Brainfuck is easier to derive something from 
17:30:51 -!- }{FISH} has changed nick to GeekDude.
17:31:12 <MDude> I just mean the reverse is also true.
17:31:38 <MDude> Any turing machine could be described in a way that makes it look like a Brainfuck derivative.
17:31:46 <MDude> People just go with BF b/c rude.
17:32:05 <oren> Also brainfuck is easy to understand for nonmathy people
17:32:52 <oren> because it is the ultimate simplification of the imperative, structured paradigm
17:33:43 <MDude> P" is actually simpler.
17:33:50 <oren> true. 
17:35:06 <MDude> Though it does require that epople write ?.
17:35:13 <oren> but turing machines involve symbols and states and rules, where BF has numbers and characters in the code
17:35:20 <MDude> Which as you can see isn't even an ASCII character.
17:35:59 <oren> `unidecode ?

17:36:45 <oren> this is a lamda: λ
17:37:57 <zzo38> You can make the P'' version with ASCII though
17:39:23 <oren> Hm... Is it P" or P''
17:39:49 <oren> or P``
17:39:59 <b_jonas> it's P~~
17:40:04 <b_jonas> or P^^
17:40:06 <b_jonas> or P||
17:40:07 <b_jonas> or P++

17:40:18 <Koen__> "nonmathy people" know what a decision tree is, and that looks exactly like an automaton
17:40:39 <b_jonas> nonmathy people probably don't care about this stuff
17:40:40 <Koen__> whereas ++++[-] doesn't look like much
17:40:50 <Koen__> a very good point
17:42:01 <oren> Koen: I mean people who are qualified to take Game Development 101 but not Game Theory 101
17:42:07 <mitchs> demathification
17:42:22 <Koen__> (also by decision tree I probably meant flow chart)
17:42:29 <oren> yeah
17:43:09 <MDude> I don't think so?
17:43:27 <MDude> A flow chart would more complex than a simple automaton.
17:43:32 <oren> Although I annoy the hell out of my dad by incessantly referring to my game development course as "Game Theory"
17:44:10 <b_jonas> heh
17:48:39 <oren> With the course naming problems at UofT, the course that should be named "Operations Research" is named Algorithm Design, Analysis, and Complexity
17:48:56 <oren> So I might not have been wrong
17:54:42 <MDude> To be fair, Operations Research sounds like a course where you research military operations.

02:29:56 <MDude> Web, technically, not internet.
02:33:27 <MDude> And not even neccisarily a full replacement for browsers.
02:33:43 <oren> Right. The main problem is that the web is an application framework that evolved from a document format. 
02:34:26 <MDude> It seems more like a VR thing that happens to use web pages as supplimentary source of level design.
02:35:13 <MDude> Which I wouldn't mind, but if something's going to be a web browser it should follow an open specification.
02:35:26 <zzo38> The web is a terrible mess.
02:35:35 <MDude> Not neccesarilly an enforced standard, though.
02:36:01 <zzo38> You call it "an application framework that evolved from a document format", but actually it is a mess.
02:37:03 * MDude scraps javacript and CSS for not being based on SGML.

02:43:38 <Sgeo> MDude: it has a web browser in it.

02:44:24 <MDude> I don't think there's a VR client that doens't have a web browser of some sort built in.
02:44:44 <MDude> Except for maybe a few that are built into web browser.
02:44:46 <Sgeo> Does Flatland?

03:42:34 <elliott> it also looks like it does and they defined everything themselves for simplicity or greater control: "NOTE: If you want to test these examples on your own, you should start Maude with the option -no-prelude which lets Maude know that none of its basic modules are included (like Maude's own NAT module which will cause a conflict)."
03:42:51 <elliott> (well, potentially. it's possible that it has naturals but not bits.)

04:40:42 <int-e> zzo38: I'm not sure. Usually, when solving a puzzle involves my own death, I look for a new one.
04:41:32 <oren> A setting where gods exist tends to involve an afterlife

04:56:07 <MDude> I was under the impression oren would sent people to the liar god when smiting them due to presuming that this would be the relatively "bad" afterlife.
04:56:49 <zzo38> If being smited doesn't automatically mean you lose, then being smited is just another way to answer your question isn't it? Therefore you can figure it out from that.

04:58:25 <MDude> My aforementioned comment directed towards oren is beyond the scope of the puzzle.
05:00:34 <oren> Hm... I was going off of Christian mythology where Satan is the prince of lies. 
05:02:33 <MDude> Makes sense, though he sounds more like a Bizzaro.
05:03:22 <MDude> Worse would be if you had to live with someone who only communicates in yes-no responses as your only source of conversation to begin with.
05:03:28 <pikhq> For extra-bizzaro, Jesus is referred to as "lucifer" in the Vulgate.

05:06:06 <naturalog> "16:02 < MDude> Worse would be if you had to live with someone who only communicates in yes-no responses as your only"   i think the concept of undecidability comes clear when someone pushes you to answer yes/no only
05:06:18 <zzo38> I suppose it might be a title because he is often called light of the world, but that isn't his name, although neither is Jesus; his name is supposed to be Yeshua Ben Josef.
05:06:54 <zzo38> But I don't have a copy of Vulgate anyways.
05:06:55 <naturalog> ^ yes on the hebrew sources he's called Yeshua
05:07:22 <naturalog> * Yosef
05:08:54 <pikhq> zzo38: It was used to describe him as the "light of the world", yes.
05:10:33 <zzo38> pikhq: So, even if it looks like "extra-bizzaro", at least I can see the reason clearly.
05:10:48 <pikhq> *nod*
05:10:48 <oren> So in English his name would be Jesus Jesephson?
05:11:09 <pikhq> oren: No, "Jesus Ben Josef" or "Yeshua Ben Josef".
05:11:21 <pikhq> Modern English doesn't have a rule of Anglicizing names.

11:13:39 <oren> J_Arcane: I do tail calls with Goto in C
11:13:57 <J_Arcane> Heh heh.
11:14:04 <J_Arcane> Dunno if JS has that.
11:14:50 <oren> But for some reason people frown on me setting all the parameters and 'goto start;'
11:17:52 <oren> You can sometimes convert a goto to a do{}while() loop
11:18:24 <oren> a lot of people forget all about the humble do{}while() loop
11:19:42 <J_Arcane> this is bizarre. My code doesn't terminate unless I use my function as a method instead of a function ...
11:20:22 <J_Arcane> nm, I see what I've done wrong. weird as hell that it works that way at all ...

13:56:57 <FreeFull> Melvar: foreach-until?
13:57:21 <FreeFull> Do you mean having a conditional break at the end of the loop?
14:00:12 <Melvar> FreeFull: Well, no, It was actually phrased foreach … until, because in the language in question you can use any loop opener with any loop closer. The effect is the same though.
14:01:58 <FreeFull> Ah
14:02:19 <FreeFull> Melvar: So, does that language allow a while while loop?
14:03:55 <Melvar> No, while is neither an opener nor a closer, but actually a negative conditional break. It’s a forth variant btw.
14:13:26 <FreeFull> I see
14:16:03 <Melvar> Basically you use “begin … repeat” (by itself an infinite loop) and stick “<condition> while” in there. At the beginning it’s like a while loop, at the end it’s like a do-while loop.

18:43:18 <AndoDaan> Is there anything like an Object Oriented Assembly language in existance?

18:52:13 <AndoDaan> I kinda just threw to words together. But that's quite a good interpretation, I think.
18:54:51 <J_Arcane> AndoDaan: Yes. I can't remember what it's called though.
18:55:56 <J_Arcane> there's this for instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Level_Assembly

11:50:22 -!- Neolink5 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
11:50:40 <mroman> wtf
11:50:51 <mroman> it runs out of mem for parsing 5+5
11:51:25 <mroman> and even for parsing just 5
11:51:26 <int-e> did you write a left-recursive grammar?
11:51:27 <mroman> what the hell
11:51:34 <mroman> probably
11:51:44 <mroman> yeah
11:52:21 <Jafet> It's ok, your mistake is non-terminal.
11:52:47 <mroman> well
11:53:07 <mroman> expression = expression bin_op expression
11:54:07 <mroman> I see parsec can't handle that
11:54:40 <mroman> yep. it can't
11:54:45 <mroman> how's that
11:54:47 <mroman> and how do I fix it
11:54:51 <b_jonas> don't use recursive descent parsers
11:55:12 <b_jonas> not only because they run out of memory, but because they are hard to debug when you make mistakes, they don't tell you about ambiguities
11:55:20 <b_jonas> use a proper LR parser generator
11:55:57 <mroman> but
11:56:04 <mroman> expression bin_op expression is always recursive
11:56:06 <int-e> or do your own factorization, expression = term bin_op expression | term; term = literal | variable | "(" expression ")
11:56:09 <int-e> "
11:56:31 <int-e> it gets more tedious with precedences
11:56:40 <mroman> i mean
11:56:52 <mroman> You can fix it by doing expression = '(' expression bin_op expression ')'
11:56:54 <mroman> that works
11:57:01 <Jafet> @hoogle buildExpressionParser
11:57:03 <lambdabot> Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Expr buildExpressionParser :: OperatorTable tok st a -> GenParser tok st a -> GenParser tok st a

11:57:19 <int-e> Jafet: have you used that thing?
11:57:46 <mroman> oh hm
11:57:54 <mroman> i can make a non-terminal <> terminal distinction
11:57:56 <mroman> that should work

15:11:24 <tswett> So the thing about programming languages is that a programming language usually has some sort of model of computation associated with it.
15:11:54 -!- tromp has joined.
15:12:03 <Taneb> So the challenge is abstracting over the computation model?
15:12:22 <tswett> C and C++ have very minimalistic models. Data consists of bytes. Code consists of instructions. That's it.
15:12:51 <tswett> Well, my point is that creating a "perfect programming language" would have to entail creating a perfect computation model, too.
15:13:26 <tswett> Languages like Haskell and Python have "maximalistic" models, which are much easier to use and much harder to implement.
15:13:30 <Jafet> Yes, so minimalistic that it only takes dozens of pages to define them
15:13:36 <coppro> hundreds
15:14:37 <tswett> And the thing about linking two pieces of software, as everyone knows, is that it's easy as long as both pieces of software are written in the same language or one of them is written in C.
15:14:39 <Jafet> Let's be fair and only use the pages that talk about the basic memory semantics
15:15:42 <coppro> Jafet: what about the concurrency model in C++? that's a vital part of the underlying computational
15:15:46 <coppro> *computational model
15:19:20 <Jafet> Hmm, the memory model had better be defined in less than a hundred pages or I will seriously consider switching to erlang
15:19:21 <tswett> Can you write a Python program that uses a Haskell library? Sure, as long as the Haskell library has a C-shaped interface, or you're calling it via IPC, or something.
15:20:21 <mroman> the real question is why you would ever attempt to do that
15:20:28 <Jafet> Linking with C is pretty hard unless you happen to already have a bunch of C linkers
15:22:40 -!- skj3gg has joined.
15:23:20 <tswett> I guess I should work on coming up with that perfect computation model.

16:15:03 <boily> J_Arcanello. what do you not like about undefined?
16:26:25 <J_Arcane> boily: The tendency for JavaScript to return it instead of an error. ditto 'NaN'.

16:38:26 <b_jonas> Jafet: yes, javascript has exception
16:47:59 -!- nys has joined.
17:02:51 <J_Arcane> JavaScript in generally does do some insane implicit behaviors; it seems as if it was designed with 'keep calm and carry on' as a language policy.
17:03:22 <J_Arcane> For example, guess what the following returns: 5 + function (x) { return; }
17:03:55 <tswett> Hm, lemme try to guess.
17:04:02 <tswett> '5'?
17:04:21 <J_Arcane> '5function (x) { return; }'
17:04:24 <J_Arcane> as a string.
17:04:41 <tswett> Of course.
17:05:15 <tswett> A pet peeve of mine is when a language has a value called "undefined".
17:06:01 <tswett> With one or two exceptions.
17:06:33 <tswett> "Nil" and "null" are fine. Decent ways of saying "no ordinary value".
17:08:09 <tswett> But "undefined" is an adjective meaning "not having a definition".
17:08:30 <J_Arcane> tswett: I actually kinda like the Maybe type for that. Or just Scheme/Racket's use of the empty list for nil. Because it has a practical use.
17:09:35 <tswett> I guess what I don't like is when there's a difference between a variable having a value called "undefined" and the variable *actually not being defined*.
17:09:38 <J_Arcane> But yeah, JS' case it's more the interpreter going 'well, I don't know what to do here' (which happens a lot) and just returning 'undefined' and carrying on. That to me is the behavior of a crazy person.
17:10:07 <tswett> If those are the *same* thing, that's fine. If they're different things, then the guys who created the programming language really need to think about what the word "defined" means.

18:40:55 <elliott> hi kallisti
18:45:23 <kallisti> hello
18:45:56 <MDude> I would think undefined would make sense as a vaue. If it can be the result of an operation on paper, a comptuer should be able to represent it.
18:46:35 <kallisti> what kind of "undefined" are we talking about?
18:48:22 <tswett> MDude: if you ask me, it can't be the result of an operation on paper.
18:48:55 <tswett> 1/0 isn't an operation whose result is a value called "undefined". It's a sequence of symbols that has the property of being undefined.
18:49:02 <kallisti> for instance, a certain kind of undefined can be the result of a computation which never halts.
18:49:17 <kallisti> or, so-called "
18:49:36 <kallisti> "undefined behavior" where the specification or implementation of something doesn't handle a certain case.
18:52:25 <elliott> tswett: that view kinda clashes with denotational semantics
18:52:32 <kallisti> but if you're talking about, say, the value of "undefined" in javascript, you could say that this is "defined" in some sense, since it is a definition representing things that are deterministically without a specific meaning.
18:52:35 <elliott> we say that [[ 1 / 0 ]] = _|_
18:52:39 <elliott> as an actual value
18:54:13 <tswett> elliott: *nod* Yeah, you're right.
18:56:00 -!- Koen__ has joined.
18:56:24 <elliott> kallisti: what's up. you can't just reappear every N months without telling everyone your life story since

18:56:41 <kallisti> my life is uninteresting
18:56:48 <Koen__> oh COME ON
18:56:55 <elliott> it's illegal
18:57:23 <Koen__> just spill it already
18:57:59 <kallisti> are denotations technically computations though?
18:58:20 <tswett> kallisti: so, how about that operating system we're collaborating on making?
19:01:37 <kallisti> I have returned
19:01:53 <kallisti> operating systems are hard
19:02:24 <tswett> Let's use the Linux kernel but write everything else from scratch.
19:03:13 <kallisti> I'm not very interested in starting a project with that kind of scope until I get other things sorted out.
19:03:22 <FireFly> tswett: undefined in JS is more messy than you might think.. there's a well-defined value called "undefined", a global variable "undefined" holding said value, and also the typeof operator sometimes returns the string 'undefined'
19:03:26 <kallisti> like "not being homeless or starving to death"
19:03:46 <kallisti> I don't think tswett ever mentioned JS. That was my contribution. Coincidentally, I've been writing a lot of JS code.
19:03:50 <tswett> *nod* That's fair.
19:04:11 <FireFly> specifically,  typeof foo  results in the string 'undefined' both if foo is defined and holds the value undefined, and if it is /not defined/
19:04:14 <FireFly> it's crazy :<
19:04:31 <FireFly> oh, I just read parts of the backlog, might've missed the context
19:05:52 <elliott> how old are you now even kallisti
19:05:53 <FireFly> So in other words, in JS it both means "not defined" and "holds the `undefined` value" (and is the name of a global variable)
19:05:57 <kallisti> elliott: 23
19:06:31 <elliott> yikes
19:06:58 <kallisti> yikes? now I feel I should be concerned about something.
19:08:19 <elliott> being old
19:08:47 <kallisti> it's not too crazy. It just means that the value undefined doesn't actually mean 'an undefined variable'. It just means that undefined variables result in an undefined value, but not the other way around.
19:09:49 <kallisti> I believe you'd use hasOwnProperty to actually determine if a specific name has never been assigned to.
19:10:31 <kallisti> elliott: I think when you hit 20 or so you start feeling old and then as you get closer to 25 you start feeling young again briefly, and then probably old again after that point, but I haven't gotten there yet.
19:10:47 <kallisti> that's just my experience anyway
19:11:00 <elliott> I'm 19 and I feel old
19:11:30 <kallisti> yep. so did I.
19:12:01 <kallisti> I shall now confirmation bias this piece of information. Thank you for your input.
19:13:01 <tswett> FireFly: so there's actually a difference between an unassigned variable and a variable containing "undefined"?
19:13:26 <FireFly> Yes
19:13:46 <FireFly> Trying to access the former is an error
19:14:48 <kallisti> only if you have 'use strict' enabled
19:15:34 <FireFly> No, I'm pretty sure that's the case either way.  As in, if you open a repl and type  foo  you get a ReferenceError
19:15:54 -!- ProofTechnique has joined.
19:17:17 <FireFly> What strict mode changes wrt globals is that you need to explicitly declare variables before assigning to them
19:18:11 <kallisti> ah okay. I guess I never use strict mode then. 
19:18:17 <kallisti> non-strict mode, I mean. -_-

19:20:47 <kallisti> I don't really feel like rewriting everything in livescript, and only writing SOME of it in livescript seems a little awkward.

19:21:11 <kallisti> web application.
19:22:57 <kallisti> millions of nested callbacks becomes second nature at some point, but if I were using livescript I could use "backcalls" to flatten everything.
19:23:20 <kallisti> looks nearly identical to do notation.

19:36:38 <elliott> yeah but you said since you were last here :p
19:36:39 <kallisti> so, maybe not exactly when I was last present on the channel
19:36:49 <elliott> we implemented deadfish in even more languages!
19:37:08 <kallisti> wowowowow deadfish hype
19:37:25 <elliott> https://esolangs.org/wiki/Deadfish 71 now
19:37:54 <kallisti> deadfish in deadfish. that's all I need.
19:38:43 <kallisti> hm, the perl implementation isn't a one-liner though
19:38:47 <kallisti> might need to fix that
19:40:33 <kallisti> "The language defined by the Revised Revised Revised Revised Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme"
19:40:52 <b_jonas> kallisti: that's old. they ahve R7RS now I think
19:40:54 <elliott> that one as me
19:40:56 <elliott> *was me
19:40:59 <kallisti> oh that's an actual thing
19:41:02 <kallisti> it's not even a joke
19:41:07 <elliott> the interpreter is broken but whatever
19:41:14 <elliott> I mainly did it for the ridiculously full language name
19:41:20 <elliott> kallisti: haha it's just R5RS Scheme
19:41:26 <elliott> the 5 in R5RS is for Revised^5
19:41:39 <elliott> originally it was like, the Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
19:41:43 <elliott> then the Revised Revised Report
19:41:52 <elliott> then they started using power superscripts pretty quickly
19:41:56 <b_jonas> they call it "Revised^7 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheem"
19:42:06 <b_jonas> um
19:42:11 <b_jonas> no, that's a misspelling
19:42:14 <b_jonas> but something like that
19:43:24 <kallisti> it's unfortunate that the number of revisions will probably not exceed the threshold beyond which up-arrow notation is reasonable.

23:22:38 <naturalog> here's a q i've been wondering about today: assume you have an array A of bools. at t=0, A[0]=true and all the rest are false. assume the working memory can contain only one bool (bit), and you have a pointer to A which you can either inc or dec by 1, and it goes back cyclically when out of range. which computations can't this machine do?
23:23:25 <naturalog> its like tape turing machine with redundant state machines
23:23:43 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
23:23:45 <elliott> what operations can you do
23:24:05 <naturalog> ah i forgot: you can either read, or set to 0, 1, or to the mem bit
23:24:16 <elliott> no branching?
23:24:33 <naturalog> at least not explicitly
23:24:54 <elliott> so you can't loop?
23:25:03 <naturalog> recall the buffer is cyclic
23:25:19 <naturalog> and it begins with its head marked
23:25:20 <elliott> oh
23:25:21 <elliott> it's finite?
23:25:25 <elliott> i see
23:25:27 <naturalog> yeah say N
23:25:30 <elliott> tbh it sounds like you can't do much at all with this
23:25:36 <naturalog> i agree
23:25:37 <elliott> it's a very limited state machine
23:25:41 <naturalog> still the q is what
23:25:44 <elliott> it's barely even computation
23:26:07 <elliott> I don't know exactly what class it'd be in, though
23:26:09 <naturalog> can it verify if k divides n?
23:26:24 <naturalog> it can, right?
23:28:04 <naturalog> it can also mark all square roots
23:28:19 <naturalog> sorry, complete squares. 1,4,9,16,25..
23:28:40 <naturalog> it can detect if N is prime

00:40:09 <elliott> oerjan: it has none, afaict
00:40:16 <naturalog> yes i kinda built on q1
00:40:28 <naturalog> it has  tape over the array, and head

00:41:06 <Lilax> Reaaaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy small
00:44:01 <oerjan> naturalog: i don't think you are understanding the question.
00:44:16 <oerjan> i'm not asking what it can do in a single instruction
00:44:32 <oerjan> i'm asking how it decides what instruction to do next
00:44:53 <naturalog> it does not. its all prescribed
00:45:06 <elliott> oerjan: you just get a list of fixed instructions to execute
00:45:08 <elliott> once
00:45:12 <oerjan> ah.
00:45:23 <oerjan> hm i guess with a finite array...
00:45:26 <naturalog> like the machine in q1 can create all complete squares indices to be true
00:45:28 <naturalog> yes
00:45:43 <Lilax> lets get together and make a humanoid AI named Glad0s
00:45:52 <oerjan> sounds a bit like those circuit complexity models
00:46:36 <naturalog> i dont know what you speak about. im pretty new on this stuff
00:46:57 <oerjan> hm i wonder if the barrington theorem applies
00:47:18 <oerjan> in which case the answer is: anything, as long as you are allowed a few spare bits
00:47:28 <naturalog> oh those complexities
00:47:49 <naturalog> so its like turing?
00:47:51 <oerjan> in fact i think that's the case.
00:48:01 <boily> Lilax: not sure it's a good idea.
00:48:10 <oerjan> well, like NC(1)
00:49:08 <oerjan> i guess that's not quite the same.
00:49:22 <oerjan> although i think it's pretty unknown exactly how much that allows.
00:49:41 <oerjan> (e.g. does it contain all of NP)
00:50:21 <oerjan> the thing here is that the length of the program could be _much_ larger than the array itself
00:50:35 <naturalog> how does this depend on p=np? i.e. assume p=np then what? and assume p neq np then what?
00:50:39 <oerjan> hm...
00:50:50 <naturalog> nm the machine, just NC(1)
00:51:17 <oerjan> naturalog: actually if we assume an extremely large program, i don't think it depends.  i think you can calculate any boolean function on the array minus those few spare bits.
00:51:53 -!- adu has joined.
00:51:57 <naturalog> well for some problems you'll run out of mem even if you use the array as mem
00:51:57 <oerjan> (you need enough to encode 5 different states of the machine)
00:51:59 <Lilax> sigghhhhhhh
00:53:31 <oerjan> naturalog: no, you actually don't.  the barrington theorem works by visiting all cells a _lot_ of times, but it has to remember nothing other than its place in the program and which of the 5 states it's in
00:54:22 <naturalog> ok so if its turing complete, then we can built a turing equivalent machine by simple matrix multiplications
00:54:44 <oerjan> the word "turing complete" does not apply to anything with a finite array as input.
00:54:48 <naturalog> i.e. vector is the state, we mul it by a matrix on each step, very simple one
00:55:27 <naturalog> yes ofc turing completeness i.e. equivalent to some finite turing machine of order of magnitude of this machines
00:55:36 <Lilax> you kiddos are so smart
00:56:08 <oerjan> a given program only has time to visit finitely many cells, so if you want to calculate anything for arbitrary large arrays, you need to have the program dependent on the size of the array

01:02:27 <oerjan> what's q3
01:02:42 <boily> elliott: heh. I didn't know that mimics in 0.15 changed character when you hit them.
01:02:51 <oerjan> btw the NC(1) restriction is if the program has polynomial size in the array size, i think
01:02:51 <boily> oerjan: it's Quake hth.
01:03:13 <oerjan> oh and P = NP need not apply, because it's not even known if NC(1) contains P
01:03:46 <naturalog> think we have a key-value hashtable storage. our machine can query for key and retrieve a value from the storage. it cannot query by value. and it can store in memory 1 key, 1 value, 1 auxiliary var. all same length
01:04:03 <oerjan> but if the program has unlimited size then things get simpler.
01:05:03 <oerjan> sounds like a pointer machine
01:05:05 <naturalog> it begins with a single key in the memory
01:05:14 <naturalog> ok maybe idk
01:05:26 <naturalog> reading
01:05:36 <oerjan> well, a limited one
01:06:54 <naturalog> i thought about it while wondering what computation can a dht network do with dht only
01:07:06 <naturalog> without syncronization ofc, otherwise its noninteresting
01:09:29 <naturalog> ofc they can be sync with e.g. blockchain algo, but its not purely mathematicaly true. crypto is practical science at this case
01:10:12 <naturalog> with blockchain its kinda nondeterministic machine
01:12:49 <naturalog> btw on #zennet we sometimes have discussions about such problems, sometimes we like going deep on p=np and such

02:00:36 <Sgeo> If tilting my monitor changes how broken or not the display is, is it likely a broken LCD cable, loose LCD cable, or something else?
02:03:47 <kallisti> Sgeo: are you getting artifacts?
02:04:05 <Sgeo> I'm getting weird bands of color, usually blue
02:04:14 <Sgeo> That seem to appear when a specific color is shown on my monitor
02:04:14 <kallisti> negatives?
02:04:50 <Sgeo> I use click2play for plugins, for example, and often the grey of that will be a flickering blue
02:05:28 <Sgeo> It depends on the tilt of my monitor, if I tilt it back far enough, no problem
02:05:28 <kallisti> laptop screen?
02:05:31 <Sgeo> yes
02:06:33 <kallisti> sounds like a problem with the video cable
02:06:36 <boily> single channel weirdness sounds like an unseated connector, or the cable got pinched somewhere.
02:06:40 <kallisti> since movement is causing it.
02:07:01 <Sgeo> boily: sometimes it's other colors
02:07:22 <Sgeo> kallisti: more accurately, the current tilt affects it. If I move it into one position, the effect can be there even when I stop moving it
02:07:46 <kallisti> right.
02:07:50 <Sgeo> kallisti: is it likely to be the type of problem I'd need to replace the cable itself to fix, or just make it tighter or something
02:08:27 <kallisti> could be either.
02:08:36 <Sgeo> Crud
02:08:54 <kallisti> doesn't sound like a problem with the LCD, since that would usually be permanent artifacts. dead pixels and such.
02:10:03 <kallisti> Sgeo: is it just the negative of the original image?
02:12:55 <Sgeo> No
02:14:03 <kallisti> try hooking up an external monitor if you have one
02:14:21 <kallisti> and see if it has the same problem.
02:17:28 <Sgeo> Don't have one at home

03:11:58 <coppro> I've recently learned the rules to riichi

03:12:11 <coppro> November
03:12:16 <zzo38> OK
03:12:20 <coppro> why?
03:12:50 <Lilax> I once made a program that stores your copies of text and links in the scroll and right click of a mouse 
03:13:03 <Lilax> Its broken now since firefox updated
03:13:06 <zzo38> I am just curious. Have you ever seen or heard of Washizu mahjong (a variant involving teams and tiles made of glass and a few other things)?
03:13:31 -!- skj3gg has joined.
03:13:37 <zzo38> Also I am writing the rules of a Magic: the Gathering variant for combining it with mahjong.

03:30:32 <coppro> they were sold by a company in vancouver
03:30:37 <coppro> afaik they went out of business though
03:32:53 <zzo38> You can buy Washizu tiles from Japan; I imported it from Japan, and the company that imported it for me is still in business.

07:37:54 <zzo38> Oops sorry that is the wrong URL
07:38:05 <zzo38> http://zzo38computer.org/textfile/miscellaneous/magic_card/mahjong.var
07:40:16 <zzo38> b_jonas: Do you like this?
07:40:48 <b_jonas> I don't know, I'm not a mahjong player, so I probably won't appreciate it
07:41:22 <zzo38> Do you know how to play mahjong at all?
07:41:27 <b_jonas> I know the basics
07:41:32 <b_jonas> I don't know all the scoring
07:41:39 <b_jonas> or all the rules
07:42:25 <zzo38> Then you can learn.
07:47:15 <zzo38> Is there anything like Hackage/CTAN/CPAN/whatever but for SQLite?
07:47:58 <b_jonas> zzo38: I dunno, but you can abuse CPAN to advertise any software if you just put a half-assed perl interface to it. 
07:49:28 <zzo38> Advertising the software where it doesn't belong is not the point though
07:51:25 <b_jonas> "Whichever player is the active player in Magic: the Gathering is east
07:51:27 <b_jonas> player for mahjong."\
07:51:37 <b_jonas>  - is this all the time, or only at the start of the game?
07:52:02 <zzo38> b_jonas: All the time.
07:57:07 <b_jonas> so you deal mahjong in each M:tG turn?
07:57:22 <b_jonas> that seems like it's a much slower game than M:tG then
07:57:29 <zzo38> Yes. It would slow down the game.
07:57:32 <b_jonas> but yes, it might make sense
07:58:03 <b_jonas> people invent so many hybrid sports like chess-boxing and kayak polo
08:00:14 <zzo38> I even read once someone they play chess several times, winning at chess is worth a certain value in poker chips; afterward you play poker, but instead of starting an equal number of chips you have whatever chips you won from the chess game, so whoever is better at chess game starts with an advantage in the poker game.
08:00:42 <zzo38> The games don't interfere with each other much in this case though, but it is one thing to do if it is what you like to do.

08:19:10 <zzo38> Once on Monty Python they asked "Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended?" What does "there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended" mean here?
08:19:56 <b_jonas> does it have to mean somethign?
08:20:21 <zzo38> I don't know; I expected it to mean something.
08:20:44 <b_jonas> dunno, some philosophers or something might know what it means
08:21:27 <zzo38> It seems to be legitimate as Henri Bergson is mentioned and looking at Wikipedia, he is actually a philosopher.
08:21:38 <b_jonas> (unless you want a generalized zygomorphism)

08:34:19 <mroman> so
08:34:32 <mroman> I'm a supposed to use read/write MVar or Take/Put MVar?
08:35:41 <int-e> mroman: if you want a mutex, you usually should use withMVar.
08:36:31 -!- MDude has changed nick to MDream.
08:37:30 <int-e> mroman: or modifyMVar[_] if you also want to modify a value inside the MVar. In contrast to take/put, this ensures proper cleanup when exceptions are received.
08:38:46 <int-e> mroman: readMVar is currently changing; it used to be a takeMVar followed by putMVar, but it's becoming properly atomic with ghc 7.10. It's a slightly strange operation.
08:39:27 <mroman> "However, it is only atomic if there are no other producers for this MVar."
08:39:28 <mroman> well
08:39:40 <int-e> mroman: right.
08:39:42 <mroman> I want: read and write which will LOCK the mvar
08:39:46 <mroman> so
08:39:47 <int-e> mroman: that part is being changed :P
08:39:53 <mroman> If two threads are doing a write
08:40:00 <mroman> one should succeed and the other should be blocked
08:40:43 <mroman> so
08:40:46 <mroman> MVar can't do that?
08:40:53 <int-e> okay, putMVar will do that. readMVar, however, will unblock the other thread.
08:41:10 <int-e> (as of ghc 7.8.3)
08:41:14 <mroman> but takeMVar is single-wakeup
08:41:37 <int-e> yes.
08:41:42 <mroman> http://codepad.org/NEArKvwB
08:42:20 <mroman> (put does putMVar, take does takeMVar)
08:44:15 <int-e> mroman: Right, that should work. You're using MVar as a single slot mailbox, which is precisely what putMVar/takeMVar implement. (putMVar blocks when the mailbox is full, waiting for it to become empty; takeMVar blocks if the mailbox is empty, waiting for it to be filled)
08:44:39 <mroman> K. Then I can move on to implement chans :D

12:41:22 <mroman> #({(add 1 {(add 1 1)})} {(add 1 {(add 2 2)})} {(add 1 {(add 3 3)})})
12:41:23 <mroman> ok
12:41:26 <mroman> that's much better
12:42:10 <b_jonas> what's that? 
12:43:42 <mroman> main -> (putstrln (show (map (atom (add $0 $0)) (map (atom (add 1(add $0 (lazy $0)))) #(1 2 3)))))
12:43:55 <mroman> => #({(add {(add 1 (add 1 1))} {(add 1 (add 1 1))})} {(add {(add 1 (add 2 2))} {(add 1 (add 2 2))})} {(add {(add 1 (add 3 3))} {(add 1 (add 3 3))})})
12:44:33 <mroman> I'm trying to implement a thing called "lazy"
12:44:47 <mroman> which rather than evaluating the stuff returns the expression "unfolded" that would evaluate to that stuff
12:44:54 <mroman> like the above map
12:45:04 <mroman> It doesn't actually execute the "add"
12:46:32 <mroman> in theory :D
12:47:30 <mroman> it's really broken though :(
12:48:22 <mroman> main -> (putstrln (show (map (atom (add $0 (putstrln (show 0)))) (map (atom (add 1(add $0 (lazy $0)))) #(1 2 3)))))
12:48:26 <mroman> this prints three times the 0
12:48:29 <mroman> and then returns
12:48:38 <mroman> #({(add {(add 1 (add 1 1))} NIL)} {(add {(add 1 (add 2 2))} NIL)} {(add {(add 1 (add 3 3))} NIL)})
12:48:45 <mroman> (putstrln returns NIL)
12:48:56 <mroman> so at least the putstrln is actually executed :)
12:49:17 <mroman> or mabye that's actually correct behaviour
12:49:31 <mroman> technically (putstrln (show 0)) isn't wrapped into lazy
12:49:56 <mroman> if I wrap into into lazy it returns
12:49:59 <mroman> #({(add {(add 1 (add 1 1))} {(putstrln (show 0))})} {(add {(add 1 (add 2 2))} {(putstrln (show 0))})} {(add {(add 1 (add 3 3))} {(putstrln (show 0))})})
13:01:52 <mroman> whatever
13:01:57 <mroman> not really useful :(

19:56:12 <TieSoul> (no file system implemented yet, mostly due to me being too lazy to make a way to make builtin functions and classes that relay actions to the interpreting language)
19:56:35 <TieSoul> (except I special cased println() and print())
19:59:49 <TieSoul> also it's written in Ruby
19:59:57 <TieSoul> which makes it very very very very slow
20:00:11 <TieSoul> especially recursion. Dunno what's up with that to be honest

05:06:21 <zzo38> I also made up a proper MonadPlus IO instance but people don't use it and use the wrong one instead.
05:06:59 <zzo38> (and the corresponding Alternative IO)
05:08:41 <oerjan> dulla: GHCi uses your locale settings as default for stdout's allowed characters
05:08:57 <dulla> :v
05:09:26 <dulla> so if I write to a txt I could see it all
05:10:40 <zzo38> My proper instance used the rightmost nonempty error if all of them are errors, but the wrong one failed to pay attention to whether or not it is empty.
05:11:08 <oerjan> zzo38: there is no requirement that mplus be a monoid operation.
05:11:23 <oerjan> oh wait
05:11:28 <oerjan> missed it

05:12:05 * Zefpher pets oerjan
05:12:08 <zzo38> There is the requirement actually.
05:12:11 <Zefpher> Pap pap
05:12:51 <zzo38> However the documentation is wrong anyways; it also gives the left zero law and right zero law. Actually the right zero law is wrong (it is true of some instances, but isn't actually a general law) while the left zero law is implied by the monad laws and is therefore redundant.
05:13:11 <zzo38> A lot of people don't believe me that it is implied by the monad laws and is therefore redundant.

05:16:34 <oerjan> dulla: well it also uses it as default for files. you can use hSetEncoding if you want.
05:18:29 <dulla> ?
05:19:11 <oerjan> i mean that by default ghc uses locale settings for opened text files
05:19:31 <oerjan> but you can set them explicitly

05:23:10 <oerjan> zzo38: i believe you, although i'm a bit fishy on the details, but in mzero >>= f  (1) mzero cannot produce an argument for f, so it is probably irrelevant what f is (2) mzero >>= return = mzero is a monad law.  i expect you can use the third law to make it more precise?

05:40:19 <Zefpher> does the wiki have a clear rule set
05:40:33 <zzo38> You have to post only public domain files to esolang wiki is one thing
05:40:39 <Zefpher> or are people just happening to do #esoteric into their clients
05:41:10 <Zefpher> such grammar /I think that was correct/
05:41:12 <elliott> I think the wiki has rules? maybe?
05:41:24 <oerjan> we have Esolang:Policy
05:41:26 <elliott> thankfully people aren't generally jerks or gross to people on a wiki about esolangs
05:41:37 <elliott> so doing things case-by-case has worked fine so far
05:41:39 <oerjan> _most_ of the time.
05:41:49 <int-e> It's probably one of those hard "common sense" things.
05:42:28 -!- not^v has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
05:42:34 <elliott> I don't really believe in common sense
05:42:58 <zzo38> No posting any file to esolang wiki which is not public domain; regardless if it is BSD, GPL, ordinary copyright, or otherwise, those aren't public domain, therefore they are all banned. Only public domain is allowed.
05:43:35 <zzo38> CC0 is public domain, so that is OK. SQLite is also public domain.
05:45:29 <zzo38> Those are the rules for posting files on esolang wiki.
05:45:50 <zzo38> (Also you shouldn't post wrong and irrelevant and spam stuff)
05:48:11 <zzo38> Do you like to make up any Magic: the Gathering cards or Pokemon cards?
05:53:31 -!- shikhin_ has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
05:54:46 <Zefpher> wait public domain
05:55:17 <Zefpher> can't I bypass that by making a private domain public for users coming directly from the esolangs wiki
05:55:25 <Zefpher> to make it seem public
05:55:29 <Zefpher> ~_~
05:55:41 <Zefpher> Which in all sense is very easy
06:00:08 <zzo38> If it is external you could do that
06:00:36 <zzo38> But for files posted on the wiki, no, it has to be public domain for everyone
06:01:19 <elliott> public domain means free of copyright
06:01:33 <int-e> to be clear "public domain" is a term from copyright; it means that everybody is free to use the contents on the wiki for whatever purpose they want.
06:05:09 <int-e> (It's also an oversimplification because most works cannot actually be put in the public domain anymore. So instead CC0 is a perpetual, transferrable, free license, without any strings attached.)

09:51:27 <elliott> int-e: btw, I'm not sure I believe that "most". you're german, right? that's the country typically known for having a bad time with PD
09:51:39 <elliott> at least in the US/UK I think PD is relatively simple/easy
09:51:50 <elliott> CC0 is a PD declaration whenever it can be, i.e. it tries to release all the rights it can
09:51:55 <elliott> (but failing that it gives a license)
09:51:59 <elliott> at least, that's my memory
09:52:16 <int-e> elliott: AFAIU the US has gotten rid of PD recently.
09:52:33 <elliott> that... sounds really unlikely?
09:52:34 <int-e> except for publicly fundet research and publications
09:52:41 <int-e> funded
09:52:44 <elliott> they like stopping things automatically falling into the PD
09:52:46 <elliott> because $$$
09:52:50 <elliott> but that's different from explicitly releasing it
09:52:51 <int-e> (yes, German)
09:53:13 <elliott> I would be *extremely* surprised if they got rid of that
09:53:18 <elliott> especially from not hearing about it
09:53:48 <int-e> I meant, specifically, donating works to the public domain.
09:54:05 <elliott> right
09:54:07 <int-e> Not the automatic stuff, and not the expiry of copyright.
09:54:22 <elliott> I'd be very interested in a source, and a recommendation for sources to follow if I want to not miss news like that again, because right now I'm still extremely sceptical :)
09:54:31 <int-e> None of which is really applicable to the wiki (yet?)
09:54:38 <elliott> and googling doesn't turn anything up
09:55:56 <int-e> If I remember I'll do some research tonight. For now, I'll leave you with "The Problem" at http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0
09:56:17 <elliott> right, I know it's tricky in many jurisdictions
09:56:28 <elliott> (I'm the one who switched the wiki over to using CC0)
09:57:24 <int-e> Anyway I recall reading something about this being difficult in the US nowadays, but I'll try finding a source; my memory isn't the most reliable.
09:58:20 * elliott nods
09:58:27 <elliott> I'm curious, but no obligation, heh
10:01:36 <int-e> Ultimately I believe it comes down to Article 14 of the Berne Convention, "The author, or after his death the persons or institutions authorized by national legislation, shall, with respect to original works of art and original manuscripts of writers and composers, enjoy the inalienable right to an interest in any sale of the work subsequent to the first transfer by the author of the work."

00:24:47 <zzo38> I found a public domain JSON implemention in C called PDJSON, therefore I am making the SQLite interface for PDJSON so that you can import data from JSON into SQLite. (Currently is no export functions but is it could be added later on if someone wants to export JSON in this way.)
00:24:58 <oerjan> the *- means what's following should be removed hth
00:25:36 <oerjan> høily
00:26:00 <boily> tdh.
00:26:35 <oerjan> apparently høily is an existing norwegian place name
00:27:00 <pikhq> If PDJSON is the one I'm thinking of, that's quite a good library.;
00:27:40 <oerjan> if it isn't, it's a good mimicry

02:57:20 <oerjan> Taneb: you found someone who wants to go to both?
02:57:41 <Taneb> oerjan, yes, also we want to use the same venue at the same time
02:57:56 <Taneb> Which does have a natural solution

02:58:59 <Zefpher> What you talkin bout
02:59:41 <Taneb> oerjan, somehow we both decided on "Last Thursday of the month"
03:00:02 <Taneb> Zefpher, York Haskell meetup group and York JavaScript meetup group
03:00:09 <Zefpher> York?
03:00:13 <Zefpher> Where's that
03:00:19 <Zefpher> or what is that
03:00:23 <oerjan> it's a small town on mars
03:00:31 <oerjan> near the capital of O'Wobble
03:00:42 <Zefpher> Be serious
03:00:48 <Taneb> York is a city in the north of England
03:00:49 <Zefpher> I don't have time for geography
03:00:52 <Zefpher> Ah
03:00:54 <Taneb> It's where New York is named for
03:01:04 <Zefpher> I live in Washington state
03:01:32 <Zefpher> Ill just call my aunt who lives in London for like $2000 
03:01:40 <Zefpher> Muahahah |_|
03:01:52 <oerjan> i thought phone calls had got cheaper than that
03:02:25 <Zefpher> Restating 
03:02:41 <Zefpher> I will call my aunt For a $2000 Plane ticket
03:02:48 <Zefpher> And steal oerjans watch
03:02:55 <Zefpher> then come back home
03:03:04 <oerjan> NO NOT MY WATCH
03:03:12 <Zefpher> Evil mastermind
03:03:28 <oerjan> you can have my alarm clock, i changed the battery and the ticking got so annoying i had to take it out again
03:03:43 <Zefpher> Maybe
03:04:01 <Zefpher> Does York smell terrible
03:04:30 <Taneb> Not really
03:04:35 <Zefpher> I can't be in in heavily polluted areas my sensory issues will make my chromesthesia flip out
03:04:43 <Zefpher> Will it be loud?!
03:04:44 <Taneb> It's quite a small city
03:04:52 <Taneb> Sometimes there is a smell of burnt sugar
03:04:57 <Zefpher> wat
03:05:09 <Zefpher> Do you life in York Taneb
03:05:14 <oerjan> <Zefpher> Be serious <-- just testing y'all for obscure references hth
03:05:14 <Taneb> There is a chocolate and sweets factory
03:06:35 <Zefpher> fo sho I'm coming
03:06:35 <pikhq> Is anything new in York?
03:06:43 <pikhq> Or did they export it all to New York?
03:07:04 <Taneb> pikhq, we're making a New York Haskell Compiler
03:07:15 <pikhq> *applause*
03:09:28 <Zefpher> Ill just be in the background
03:09:31 <Zefpher> watching
03:09:51 <Zefpher> I'm very unsocial
03:09:51 <pikhq> I'll just keep drinkin' my coffee stout.
03:10:08 <Zefpher> If there are any fires /it wasn't me/
03:11:21 <Zefpher> 0-0
03:11:33 <Zefpher> Alas I try my best to be weird
03:11:50 <Zefpher> and you are all old So I would very much stick out
03:14:55 <pikhq> Meh, age is an illusion.
03:15:12 <pikhq> Though the beards, probably not.
03:17:00 <Taneb> Zefpher, I am not old
03:18:25 <Zefpher> Prove it
03:18:32 <Zefpher> proove?
03:18:35 <Zefpher> idk
03:18:50 <pikhq> On a scale from 1 to oerjan how old are you Taneb?
03:19:01 <Taneb> pikhq, 29
03:19:03 <Taneb> *20
03:19:09 <oerjan> _coffee stout_?
03:19:53 <pikhq> It's an oatmeal stout with coffee.
03:20:03 <pikhq> And it is delicious.
03:20:28 <Zefpher> oerjan ain't that old
03:20:31 <oerjan> sounds dangerous
03:20:37 <Zefpher> I heard of some one older
03:20:39 <pikhq> oerjan  is older than the stars.
03:20:44 <Zefpher> omg 29
03:20:49 <pikhq> oerjan: Not really.
03:20:51 <Taneb> Zefpher, that was a typo, I'm 20
03:20:55 <pikhq> Just profoundly tasty.
03:21:06 <Zefpher> Sometimes I can trick adults into thinking I'm an adult
03:21:10 <Zefpher> then ill tell them
03:21:20 <Zefpher> Its funny
03:21:40 <oerjan> pikhq: i mean, it's two potential addictions in one
03:21:56 <pikhq> :)
03:22:17 <Zefpher> Addictions?!
03:22:24 <Zefpher> I was once addicted to meth
03:22:41 <Zefpher> Or well I was none of the others were |_|
03:22:55 <oerjan> are you trying to trick us into thinking you're adult again
03:22:59 <Zefpher> Nope
03:23:02 <Zefpher> I did meth
03:23:06 <Zefpher> and I am ashamed
03:23:18 <oerjan> just general trickery, check
03:23:29 <Zefpher> trickery¿
03:23:42 * Zefpher ejects oerjan into space
03:23:53 * oerjan hangs on to a comma
03:24:08 <pikhq> I advise against meth.
03:24:23 <pikhq> Even if you have medical cause for amphetamines there's better ones.
03:25:00 <Zefpher> To late pikhq that era is over for me
03:25:08 <pikhq> Tsk.
03:25:11 <Zefpher> unless your advising my grandma
03:25:28 <oerjan> i can quit caffeine any time i want, just give me a couple weeks
03:25:57 <pikhq> IRC on the other hand.
03:27:31 <Taneb> I seem to have misplaced my tie
03:28:03 <Zefpher> Burn your house down
03:28:12 <Zefpher> That should find it
03:28:39 <Taneb> I have had a good track record for not burning my house down this year
03:28:43 <Zefpher> I need to go give 30 moneys to my mothwr

05:04:06 <Zefpher> Thanks guy
05:09:06 <oerjan> Zefpher: | has several different uses, but <|> is a completely different operator - haskell doesn't have a fixed set of operators so any sequence of operator characters doesn't get split up into smaller ones.
05:09:42 <oerjan> :t (<|>)
05:09:43 <lambdabot> Alternative f => f a -> f a -> f a
05:09:52 <Zefpher> so what does [| ] do for stuff
05:10:06 <Zefpher> it breaks all of me program
05:10:20 <oerjan> Zefpher: you probably mean a list comprehension
05:10:33 <Zefpher> yes
05:10:34 <oerjan> > [ x*x | x <- [1..10] ]
05:10:35 <lambdabot>  [1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100]
05:10:38 <Zefpher> that's probably why
05:11:01 <Zefpher> and does -> point towards different variables¿
05:11:17 <oerjan> not always
05:11:19 <Zefpher> or is it an indicator
05:11:29 <Zefpher> Oerjan teach me the haskells
05:11:44 <oerjan> > case Just "testing" of Nothing -> "nope" ; Just something -> something
05:11:45 <lambdabot>  "testing"
05:12:04 * Zefpher finds money and offers it to oerjan
05:12:10 <Zefpher> pliss
05:12:11 <oerjan> too much work
05:13:22 <oerjan> actually, i don't think -> usually points to variables, but away from them (or away from a pattern)
05:13:56 <oerjan> > (\ x -> x*x) 3
05:13:57 <lambdabot>  9
05:14:29 <oerjan> <- and -> are essentially keywords
05:15:01 <oerjan> and there's usually a pattern to the left of them
05:15:11 <oerjan> (a variable is the simplest kind of pattern)
05:15:38 <oerjan> but other than that, they're used in several different contexts
05:15:45 <coppro> the fuck
05:15:58 <oerjan> coppro: shocking, isn't it?
05:16:12 <coppro> xdg-open determined that the best way to open a text file was to start x-terminal-emulator and run vim inside it?
05:16:15 <coppro> I'm impressed
05:16:37 <dulla> :t elem
05:16:38 <lambdabot> Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
05:16:52 <oerjan> curiously, i have long since resigned to setting IE to open haskell files in vim
05:17:05 <Zefpher> What is
05:17:08 <oerjan> it's the least annoying thing that works when it won't display in-browser
05:17:09 <Zefpher> Bool?
05:17:15 <oerjan> @src Bool

05:17:29 <dulla> > [ x | x <- "jeys hush", elem x "suej"]
05:17:31 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:17:35 <dulla> yess
05:17:46 <Zefpher> omf
05:17:49 <Zefpher> pls dulla
05:18:08 <Zefpher> I'm stealing that
05:18:20 * Zefpher gives fake money
05:20:11 <oerjan> | is also a keyword btw
05:20:14 <dulla> All I hear is that one should use filters, and maps instead of list comprehensions
05:20:44 <oerjan> dulla: nah sometimes one is better, sometimes the other
05:21:09 <dulla> Sometimes you feel lazy
05:21:26 <oerjan> > filter (`elem` "suej") "jeys hush"
05:21:27 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:21:58 <HMC_A> in haskell is list comprehension primitive or just syntactic sugar?
05:22:06 <oerjan> syntactic sugar
05:22:23 <oerjan> @undo [ x | x <- "jeys hush", elem x "suej"]
05:22:23 <lambdabot> concatMap (\ x -> if elem x "suej" then [x] else []) "jeys hush"
05:22:27 <HMC_A> ok thought so
05:23:10 <HMC_A> so you can't really use filters/maps "instead" :-)
05:23:26 <dulla> Also, do you get angry about the "special syntax" [] ?
05:23:57 <oerjan> well the idea is you can get a better point-free definition without comprehensions, when that works nicely.
05:24:12 <HMC_A> well that is an idea.
05:24:13 <HMC_A> :-)
05:24:50 <coppro> oerjan: yeah I'm surprised it actually started a terminal emulator though
05:24:53 <coppro> rather than running gvim
05:25:17 <oerjan> ah
05:25:27 <dulla> > let fil as = filter (`elem` as) in fil "suej" "jeys hush"
05:25:29 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:25:32 <dulla> yush
05:26:06 <oerjan> > let fil = filter . flip elem in fil "suej" "jeys hush"
05:26:07 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:26:16 <oerjan> that's stretching it
05:26:36 <HMC_A> now i want to go implement a pointless topology using just list comprehensions simply to rile people. XD
05:27:09 <dulla> ah, I see what the flip does
05:27:27 <oerjan> > intersection "jeys hush" "suej"
05:27:28 <lambdabot>  Not in scope: ‘intersection’
05:27:28 <lambdabot>  Perhaps you meant one of these:
05:27:28 <lambdabot>    ‘IM.intersection’ (imported from Data.IntMap),
05:27:31 <oerjan> hm
05:27:48 <oerjan> > Data.List.intersection "jeys hush" "suej"
05:27:49 <lambdabot>  Not in scope: ‘Data.List.intersection’
05:27:49 <lambdabot>  Perhaps you meant one of these:
05:27:49 <lambdabot>    ‘Data.List.intersect’ (imported from Data.List),
05:27:56 <dulla> Isn't there a list difference operation?
05:28:00 <oerjan> > intersect "jeys hush" "suej"
05:28:02 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:28:10 <oerjan> yes, \\
05:28:14 <dulla> one that's a symbol
05:28:17 <dulla> there we go
05:28:31 <dulla> > "test" \\ "t"
05:28:32 <lambdabot>  "est"
05:29:01 <dulla> > "jeys hush" \\ "y hh"
05:29:03 <lambdabot>  "jesus"
05:29:35 <oerjan> i think using them on non-sets is not originally intended
05:30:28 <dulla> They could be used for a very crappy cipher
05:31:34 <oerjan> hm actually the report seems to define \\ on non-sets well enough
05:32:14 <oerjan> intersect too
05:33:28 <dulla> I feel cheeky
05:35:51 <dulla> > intersect "test" "t"
05:35:53 <lambdabot>  "tt"
05:43:44 <zzo38> I get angry about the "special syntax" because I believe it ought to be made as macros instead
05:46:35 <Sgeo> Remind me never to use cloud to butt
05:46:36 <Sgeo> https://www.reddit.com/r/TagPro/comments/2vlkzp/note_have_the_cloud_to_butt_extension_disabled/
05:46:57 <Sgeo> Why doesn't it search/replace just text nodes in HTML?
05:47:10 <Sgeo> And... hmm, impossible to tell whether strings in Javascript need to be replaced
05:55:25 <oren> Sgeo: Javascript itself needs to be replaced hth
05:59:57 <Zefpher> oh
06:00:09 <Zefpher> javascript type tables are complete shit
06:00:22 <Zefpher> deletes javascript off the internet
06:02:14 <HMC_A> "type tables"?
06:07:25 <oerjan> kind cupboards
06:09:57 <oren> Does haskell have a type for unordered sets? Most languages don't.
06:11:42 <oerjan> there's an unordered-containers library
06:11:55 <oerjan> oh and Data.Set
06:12:30 <oerjan> that's actually in the usual containers library
06:12:48 <oren> See I realized that an unordered set can be implemented to be faster than using a vector like thing
06:13:03 <oerjan> oh and IntSet i think
06:13:28 <oren> And in my use case (bullets in a 2d game) I don't care what order they are processed in
06:13:30 <elliott> tbf those aren't unordered so much as very ordered
06:13:58 <oerjan> heh
06:14:29 * oerjan hasn't really looked at unordered-containers, but things he heard it was getting more official
06:14:32 <oerjan> *k
06:14:42 <elliott> well unordered-containers isn't that ordered
06:14:45 <elliott> hashes are pretty random
06:14:45 <int-e> . o O ( ricocheting bullets )
06:14:48 <elliott> theoretically
06:14:48 <oerjan> oh
06:14:58 <elliott> but my joke works for Data.Set.Set
06:15:47 <oren> Anyway, the problem is C++ has no real unordered set type. std::unordered_set is actually a hash table
06:16:00 <oerjan> int-e: THE BEARS HAVE ARRIVED
06:16:04 <elliott> what do you want from this type anyway
06:16:09 <oren> I want a type with three operations
06:16:44 <oren> add(set, thing), remove(set, current_index), iterate(set,function)
06:17:05 <oren> So add doesn't add the thing in any particular place
06:17:25 <oren> and iterate doesn't iterate over in any particular order
06:17:51 <oren> but during iteration, i need to be able to remove the current bullet from the set
06:19:14 <oerjan> oren: the problem is, without a known place to find it, remove() is going to be horribly slow
06:19:26 <int-e> elliott: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Granting_work_into_the_public_domain#Legal_basis_of_copyright_in_the_United_States seems a better source of the situation of donating works to the public domain in the US... the conclusion seems to be that it *ought* to be possible but it's hard to make an unequivocal statement to that effect. So there's a cloud of uncertainty and doubt around the topic.
06:20:00 <oren> oerjan: right, but ideally remove would only be callable from within an iteration
06:20:32 <oren> And only callable on the current bullet
06:20:42 <oren> I think that can make it fast
06:21:13 <int-e> oerjan: uh-oh. do they eat metal? *risks a look at the comic*
06:21:15 <oerjan> plausible. you could even use a list then.
06:21:44 <oerjan> a bit early to say
06:21:51 <int-e> Oh, it seems friendly. Ominous.

06:28:37 <Zefpher> See you are funny
06:28:44 <int-e> Sometimes.
06:29:02 <Zefpher> Ill try to be Nicer than my current level
06:29:13 <Zefpher> I'm not good an socializing with older folks
06:29:39 <oren> Hey oerjan, what did the scouter say about his nice level?
06:29:40 <Zefpher> if you say something bad about me I'm not afraid to hit a senior citizen 
06:29:56 <Zefpher> Its like at 10% 
06:30:47 <Zefpher> I usually spew out a full front of hate and anger during febuary because its the only time I'm reminded of the incident that ruined my entire life
06:30:55 <Zefpher> Sorry if rude
06:31:20 <Zefpher> also Sorry if I sound like I like to burn houses down
06:31:23 <Zefpher> I don't
06:31:28 <oren> I do
06:31:38 <Zefpher> I also don't have enough money to do that
06:31:45 <oren> OR maybe I just like cooking bacon at way to high a heat
06:32:01 <Zefpher> Your ink
06:32:03 <oerjan> oren: i'm too tired to reverse engineer puns hth
06:32:14 <Zefpher> go sleep
06:32:20 <oerjan> soon.
06:32:26 <Zefpher> you need your rest 
06:33:11 <Zefpher> Sorry for implying you should die in a nuclear blast cloud int-e
06:33:13 <int-e> oerjan: s/to/too/; no pun.
06:33:44 <oerjan> wat
06:33:52 <int-e> (I think. Maybe it's a pun submarine)
06:34:37 <int-e> Or perhaps I missed something that oren wrote.
06:34:41 <Zefpher> -///-
06:35:51 <oerjan> int-e: perhaps you were looking at the wrong line.
06:36:30 <int-e> oerjan: still it's not a pun; google suggests a quote from Dragon Ball Z
06:37:12 * Zefpher pukes onto the ground
06:38:09 <oerjan> Zefpher: that _still_ means we can ban you until march 1 without feeling bad about it hth

06:41:20 <lifthrasiir> oren: is it some lyrics?
06:41:25 <oren> yup
06:41:30 <Zefpher> That third one looks like a tower
06:41:42 <oren> it means claud
06:41:47 <oren> *cloud
06:41:52 <Zefpher> :0
06:41:56 <Zefpher> Ni ni oren
06:42:00 <lifthrasiir> (a loan version of "flying away" is not a common word, I guess)
06:42:45 <oren> Japanese songs have lots of english in them, usually bad english
06:44:24 <oren> but it usually makes sense with a back-translation
06:47:35 <oren> Anyway the song i quoted is the original opening for dragon ball
06:50:36 <oren> Interestingly the fact they don't focus on correct grammar allows the lyrics to more easily fit the tune than in western music

However, the text blocks the door from opening.
07:24:33 <zzo38> So you can't actually enter the room.

07:48:45 <oren> there should be a language where = is move notcopy

07:51:53 <MDream> I agree on the English.

10:47:43 <mroman> I solved it this way
10:47:58 <mroman> bind is a special function that rewrites the expression
10:48:20 <mroman> so bind takes a list of numbers (the arguments) and a list of symbol names and an expression
10:48:37 <mroman> and then rewrites all symbols in the expression to the corresponding param
10:48:43 <mroman> so it rewrites to (eval $0 $1)

12:21:21 <mroman> although this bind is inefficient for recursion
12:21:30 <mroman> because the rewriting is done each time

12:21:51 <mroman> unless it's a dynamic bind
12:22:02 <mroman> but I could write a checker that rewrites static binds at start-up

17:36:33 <fizzie> As for fungot, its estimated time of arrival is next week, but I don't have internet in the new place yet, so it won't be getting online.
17:36:46 <fizzie> I think I was quoted "10-12 business days" for that.

20:44:24 <mrohman> Can you do typechecking for ifs that have differenz return types?
20:44:50 <mrohman> (If p 5 5.0)
20:45:14 <mrohman> This has two possible return types
20:45:22 <mrohman> So
20:46:16 <mrohman> (Foo (if p 5 5.0)) is ok if foo accepts ints and doubles
20:46:32 -!- shikhin has joined.
20:49:34 -!- shikhin has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
20:51:25 <mrohman> Of course nested ifs can have 2^n possible return types
20:52:25 <mrohman> (Foo (if (foo) 5 5.0))
20:53:14 <mrohman> I think this can be statically typechecked
20:54:05 <mrohman> (Head (List (if p 5.0 6))) hm...
20:54:21 <mrohman> This as well
20:54:56 <mrohman> The type of a list is the union of all element types
20:56:27 <mrohman> This way you can have hetero lists that typecheck statically

23:27:54 <tswett> It would have proofs and whatnot, of course.
23:28:32 <tswett> But a problem I'm planning to encounter is the "C Turing-completeness problem".
23:28:57 <tswett> In ordinary programming practice, we usually assume that all of the following are true:
23:29:19 <tswett> (1) By calling malloc() sufficiently many times, it is possible to create an arbitrary number of distinct pointers.
23:29:29 <tswett> (2) A pointer can be faithfully converted into an "int".
23:29:35 <tswett> (3) There are only finitely many possible "int"s.

01:43:07 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
01:44:14 <oerjan> still enjoying the flu, possibly

01:45:46 * boily is an idiot.
01:45:51 <oerjan> i'm pretty sure disproved means something completely different
01:46:43 <boily> yes, but I had a long day, and my mental hamster is sprawled besides its wheel, lightly twitching.

01:50:52 <dulla> Hey, you can put your own god damn oj in your own god damn cocaine cola
01:51:06 <oerjan> unless you mean coke in the "americans have a different word for fizzy drinks dependent on region and time of day" sense
01:51:37 <oerjan> i believe i've read there's no trace of cocaine in coke since the 1930s or thereabouts
01:51:46 <dulla> it's become the coca cola company versus pepsi co
01:51:55 <boily> pepsi is better.
01:51:58 <dulla> you have root beer, or dr pepper
01:52:27 <dulla> regardless, the automated drink machines are really weird, they allow you to make your own cola flavors

01:55:31 <oerjan> obviously what we truly want is launchMissiles :: IO ()
01:59:13 <boily> I'd be more worried about a launchMissiles :: ().
01:59:33 <dulla> This is going to be the start of a strategy game, oerjan 
01:59:39 <dulla> Are you realy willing?
02:00:16 <oerjan> the answer to that should be obvious to anyone who has been here in the channel for a while
02:00:25 <oerjan> ("heck no, far too much work")
02:00:56 <oerjan> boily: no, that would be unsafeLaunchMissiles, which you have to construct yourself hth
02:01:35 <boily> meh...
02:01:41 <oerjan> i think intuitively the type should be Void rather than ()
02:01:50 <oerjan> because, there won't be anything left to return.
02:03:05 <dulla> I would not be opposed to a proc chance of the missiles simply exploding on you for being so unsafe
02:03:14 <boily> oerjan: ^^
02:03:26 <boily> dulla: those are missiles we are talking about. missiles are reliable.

03:17:01 <oren> elliott, are there models of computability that take the limits of physics into account?

03:20:16 <oren> nys: I think there are more restrictions than that. Consider the maximum speed of information propagation, and the energy supply, for example.
03:21:32 <oren> Personally, I think there is in theory a tradeoff between the size of memory and the speed of the computer.
03:21:40 <nys> oren: http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0110141
03:24:16 <oren> nys: cool. So there will never, even in theory, be a need for pointers longer than 90 bits. We can saefly assume that

12:16:14 <mroman> apparentely some cities have some weird laws
12:16:23 <mroman> but nobody seems to have an actual source
12:18:05 -!- Lymia has joined.
12:18:06 <Jafet> The libraries of those cities, perhaps.
12:18:17 <J_Arcane> So weird question: does immutability simplify the prospect of building a compiler for a dynamically typed language?
12:19:10 <Jafet> Well, you no longer need to convert the program to SSA.
12:23:14 <Jafet> (Compilers for imperative languages like gcc already use immutable IRs, so the passes after that wouldn't really change.)
12:25:49 <tswett> So I'm trying to figure out what kind of hypercomputer you'd need to do the Henkin construction.
12:26:56 <tswett> Define a level-1 hypercomputer as a Turing machine attached to a halting oracle for Turing machines.
12:27:11 <J_Arcane> Jafet: Yeah, that was my thought; the risk of a name changing in type gets smaller if it can't change (local override notwithstanding, and potentially workaroundable). Polymorphic functions seem like they could still be stickier, but maybe not so much?
12:27:22 <mroman> Jafet: so... no online :(
12:27:39 <J_Arcane> I should really do SICP, and look into the source code of Bones.
12:28:45 <tswett> So our L1H starts with a consistent theory, such as ZFC (assuming ZFC is consistent). It then enumerates every statement in the language; whenever it gets to a statement consistent with the theory so far, it adds it to the theory.
12:29:00 <tswett> It can check if a statement is consistent with the theory or not by seeing if a Turing machine halts.
12:29:05 <tswett> And that's stage 1.
12:30:07 <tswett> Now, the way I just said it, stage 1 will go on forever, meaning we'll never start on stage 2. Aye?
12:30:14 <Jafet> There are a hundred counties in Kansas, which is probably about as regressive as america gets, and each of them can enact strange ordinances. I don't think there's a good chance you will find them all online (especially any recently-passed ones).
12:30:42 <mroman> Jafet: damn :(
12:31:02 <Jafet> State-wide laws should be available though (google suggests http://www.usa.gov/Topics/Reference-Shelf/Laws.shtml)
12:32:53 -!- Patashu has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
12:32:59 <Jafet> I could be wrong... https://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=14166
12:33:17 <tswett> Anyhoo, stage 2 begins by adding a constant to the language for every "there exists" statement we added in stage 1.
12:33:37 <tswett> Then we add a statement saying that the constant is an example of the "there exists" statement.
12:34:02 <tswett> Then we do the same thing we did in stage 1, enumerating all the statements and adding the consistent ones.
12:34:37 <tswett> But now how do you check if a statement is consistent with all the previously added statements?
12:34:39 <Jafet> J_Arcane: in a unityped language, all functions (or perhaps no functions?) can essentially be polymorphic
12:35:43 <Jafet> Anyway, whether "local variables" (if your language has them) are immutable is mostly immaterial because of SSA transform.
12:35:45 <J_Arcane> Jafet: Hmm. That makes me think of the Write Yourself a Scheme implementation; where there's a union type of 'LispValue' that can be either of number, symbol, etc.
12:36:14 <Jafet> If your compiler goes to the trouble of SSA transform for performance, that is
12:38:47 <tswett> I think that involves checking if an L1H halts, meaning you need an L2H. And stage 3 will require an L3H, and so on.
12:39:43 <J_Arcane> "In functional language compilers, such as those for Scheme, ML and Haskell, continuation-passing style (CPS) is generally used where one might expect to find SSA in a compiler for Fortran or C. SSA is formally equivalent to a well-behaved subset of CPS (excluding non-local control flow, which does not occur when CPS is used as intermediate representation), so optimizations and transformations for
12:39:45 <J_Arcane> mulated in terms of one immediately apply to the other." Hm.
12:40:10 <tswett> After you've done all the infinitely many stages, your model is just the set of all constants.
12:40:14 <tswett> Great discussion, everyone.
12:41:20 <Jafet> Is that a countable model?
12:42:27 <tswett> Yeah.
12:54:11 <Jafet> Why do you need an oracle for that construction, though
12:54:29 <Jafet> Just test all statements in parallel in stage 1, and accumulate the ones proven to be consistent
12:54:45 <Jafet> When you find any existentially quantified ones, thread them through stage 2, etc.
12:56:25 <Jafet> This will eventually give you every (finitely provably) consistent finite statement

19:34:10 <quintopia> how do you prove the ratio approaches phi in the limit
19:34:21 <int-e> dulla: so what. the code doesn't really indicate whether the first index is 0 or 1.
19:35:15 <dulla> You can have a zero in it, but to reuse the lazy list construction of the fibb numbers, I had to start at 1:1

19:36:31 <dulla> er, Oracle* J_Arcane 
19:37:06 <J_Arcane> Dunno what you mean. There were a couple convos going at once though, perhaps there's some confusion there?
19:38:15 <oerjan> quintopia: you can absorb the +1 into the terms instead.
19:38:34 <dulla> Um, something about hypercomputers, and oracles resolving or optimising SSA's or halting problems
19:39:11 <oerjan> (a + b + 1) + 1 = (a + 1) + (b + 1)
19:40:04 <oerjan> and then you have the usual fibonacci recursion
19:40:10 <oerjan> *recurrence
19:40:17 <quintopia> i aint seeing it
19:41:15 <J_Arcane> dulla: ahh, yeah, no someone was working on a proof of ... something. I was just talking about immutability and compiling.
19:41:23 <oerjan> basically, take your sequence fulfilling a_n = a_(n-1) + a_(n-2) + 1  and define b_n = a_n + 1
19:42:04 <quintopia> ah okay i see it now
19:42:21 <dulla> And oracles are?
19:42:25 <int-e> wise
19:42:33 <int-e> but mysterious
19:42:58 <oerjan> dulla: an oracle is an extra instruction you add to your turing machine / whatever which does something arbitrary you decide on.
19:43:16 <oerjan> in this case, testing whether an ordinary turing machine halts
19:43:16 <dulla> So more or less external or side influence
19:43:21 <oerjan> yep
19:43:28 <dulla> alright
19:43:42 <oerjan> the thing is, a lot of the theory works the same if you add an oracle to things
19:43:50 <dulla> So Buterin wasn't pulling Oracle out his ass when talking about news tickers
19:44:16 <oerjan> just, instead of not being able to decide halting problem for ordinary TMs, you're now unable to decide it for a TM with your oracle
19:45:57 <zzo38> I also thought of adding a oracle operation into a sequent calculus, where   |- Oracle X   is an axiom if and only if   |- X   is not a theorem of the system (even if it cannot be proven that it isn't a theorem).
19:45:59 <dulla> So you can exit a loop?
19:47:21 <oerjan> well you can detect an infinite loop
19:47:45 <int-e> dulla: Well, the oracles are often hypothetical. The one that solves the halting problem cannot, as far as we know, exist. (It would require computing power that goes beyond Turing machines, which goes against the Church-Turing thesis)
19:48:49 <oerjan> see e.g. https://esolangs.org/wiki/Banana_Scheme which is an esolang applying this to scheme
19:49:21 <int-e> (Not all oracles are hypothetical. It's interesting to think of polynomial time algorithms that can query oracles that solve (at least conjecturally) harder problems like satisfiability of boolean formulas)
19:49:52 <int-e> (just as an example)
19:50:04 <oerjan> a big part of why the P = NP problem is so hard is that the answer to it can change if you add an oracle.
19:50:06 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
19:50:38 <oerjan> which means that many of the easy methods for proving complexity results simply cannot work for it
19:51:17 <int-e> zzo38: is that oracle circular?
19:51:29 <zzo38> int-e: How does that mean?
19:52:17 <int-e> zzo38: does the system in "not a theorem of the system" refer to the system with those axioms?
19:52:26 <int-e> zzo38: (produced by the oracle)
19:52:56 <zzo38> int-e: I would think so. Maybe there might be some systems where this doesn't work although I expect it to work in most cases.
19:54:25 <int-e> Hmm, actually, what good is such an axiom schema? Knowing  Oracle X  doesn't tell you much.
19:55:17 <zzo38> I don't actually know the answer of that question.
19:57:56 <dulla> so an oracle of x?
19:59:28 <zzo38> Although  |- Oracle Oracle X  would indicate that  |- X  is a theorem, I think.
20:00:06 <dulla> go intuintionistic on it
20:00:11 <dulla> x is better than not not x

20:08:05 <int-e> zzo38: tricky. it almost fails if the theory is inconsistent, but then X is a theorem anyway...

23:02:05 <callforjudgement> dulla: one of the tricks with this channel is, there doesn't really have to be a reason
23:02:59 <callforjudgement> oh, everyone, eso question that came up in another channel: what's the minimum number of transistors needed to have a functioning CPU, assuming you don't care about performance?
23:03:07 <callforjudgement> basically a Turing tarpit but with transistors
23:03:30 <callforjudgement> we have to assume that there's some sort of external memory for this to work, but presumably we can rig the details as appropriate (e.g. by use of a magnetic tape drive)
23:03:31 <zzo38> I want to know too the answer. Perhaps might TOGA computer do it?
23:04:20 <callforjudgement> it's got to be some sort of simple Turing machine, hasn't it? you don't want to waste transistors storing addresses
23:04:22 <tswett> Jafet: you want *all* the consistent statements, not just the provably consistent ones.
23:04:32 <callforjudgement> the (2,3) machine doesn't count because it requires an infinite initialization
23:05:21 <tswett> Taneb: also, Al Dente is totally an interesting concurrency esolang.
23:05:43 <zzo38> I like "Al Dente" esolang too
23:05:54 <tswett> There's no flow control. Stuff just spontaneously happens.
23:05:55 <callforjudgement> what about My Unreliable Past? that's a concurrency esolang really, even though it doesn't look like one
23:06:12 <callforjudgement> (I don't think anyone's guessed the original inspiration for that one yet)
23:07:09 <tswett> As for the CPU, bitwise cyclic tag might be the winner.
23:07:30 <zzo38> Now write out all of the transistors of it please
23:08:33 <tswett> Mmm I don't feel like it.
23:09:01 <callforjudgement> tswett: BCU requires /two/ queues
23:09:17 <callforjudgement> even one is going to be awkward to attach to a CPU

23:13:38 <tswett> People don't sell unlimited-size RAM, either.
23:14:04 <callforjudgement> right
23:14:08 <callforjudgement> which is why you need the tape drive
23:14:19 <tswett> Say each queue has four pins. Input, output, enqueue, dequeue.
23:14:26 <callforjudgement> so you can add more tape when you run out, without needing an infinite number of address bits
23:14:33 <callforjudgement> but sure, I'll buy that
23:14:39 <callforjudgement> err, plus two power pins
23:14:42 <callforjudgement> but those don't need transistors
23:14:51 <tswett> Right.
23:15:02 <callforjudgement> even if we assume our infinite queues are self-powering, they still need power pins to know what logic levels to use
23:15:03 <tswett> Does the clock count towards transistor count?
23:15:14 <callforjudgement> hmm
23:15:23 <callforjudgement> well it's very hard to make a clock with nothing but transistors
23:15:34 <callforjudgement> I think you can make a clock with one transistor plus a bunch of extra components
23:15:56 <callforjudgement> although I think that might give you a sine wave rather than a square wave? probably good enough, anyway
23:16:21 <tswett> So lemme think how this ultra-tiny CPU would work.
23:17:24 <tswett> I think the state could just be stored in a single flip-flop or whatever.
23:18:16 <oerjan> i hear this guy named babbage had an idea to make a computer with no transistors at all
23:18:20 <tswett> Mm, maybe two. Execute one command per two clock cycles.
23:19:12 <callforjudgement> oerjan: yes, but the implication is that we're making one with /only/ transistors
23:19:19 <callforjudgement> + the minimum of other required components
23:19:24 <callforjudgement> probably need a few capacitors and resistors
23:19:49 <tswett> Okay, so you have a one-bit register S, where zero means we're about to read the first bit of a command and one means we're about to read the second bit of a 1 command.
23:20:18 <tswett> As well as, I dunno, T, where zero means we're about to read a bit and one means we're about to write one.
23:20:20 <tswett> Something like that.
23:20:32 <callforjudgement> can we do the read and write simultaneously?
23:21:32 <tswett> Even if the queue supports that, I'm not sure if the CPU logic could handle that.
23:21:56 <tswett> Well, this is what it is.
23:22:10 <tswett> T = 0 means we're about to read a bit. T = 1 means we're about to enqueue or dequeue a bit.
23:22:17 <tswett> You can't dequeue a bit and read a bit in the same clock cycle.
23:23:58 <callforjudgement> remember we have two queues
23:24:01 <callforjudgement> BCT doesn't work with just one
23:24:04 <tswett> So, upon clock positive edge, if T = 0 and S = 0, then we dequeue the data queue, enqueue the program queue, and subsequently dequeue the program queue.
23:24:19 <tswett> Except can you enqueue and dequeue in the same clock cycle?
23:24:34 <tswett> Maybe we can make it so that you enqueue on positive edge and dequeue on negative edge.
23:25:00 <callforjudgement> I guess we're using two-phase logic as is anyway
23:25:31 <tswett> The program queue's input and output pins can just always be shorted together. The enqueue and dequeue pins can be controlled by a single wire, but one of the pins needs to have a not gate before it.
23:27:29 <callforjudgement> which can be implemented with one transistor and a resistor
23:27:37 <callforjudgement> if you don't mind the current drain, which we don't
23:28:25 <tswett> Which logic style (or whatever you call it) are we using?
23:28:55 <callforjudgement> whichever works
23:29:05 <dulla> so an infinite without infinite addressing is more or less tape + some instruction storage?
23:29:08 <dulla> er
23:29:10 <callforjudgement> I think RTL is going to be cheapest in most cases? or randomly changing between NMOS and PMOS?
23:29:13 <dulla> infinite tape without*
23:29:38 <callforjudgement> you don't want a logic style that drives both up and down because that needs twice as many transistors, even if it is more efficient

01:17:25 <oerjan> the last one sort of interfers with plans to gorge on comfort pizza and chocolate
01:17:45 <oerjan> (that's generally the right thing to do with a flu, right?)
01:18:05 <quintopia> feed a flu, starve an eating disorder?
01:18:09 <quintopia> wait that's not right
01:18:10 <boily> for me it's large doses of chicken noodle soup and OJ.
01:18:16 * oerjan fetches some chocolate anyway
01:18:28 <quintopia> thank goodness they invented kanka eh
01:18:41 <quintopia> i always buy some and can never find it when i need it next
01:18:55 <boily> speaking of pizza, today we ordered a special gigantic oversized poutine, with sausage, ham, mushrooms and bell peppers in it.
01:19:03 <boily> quintopia: what's a kanka?
01:19:05 <oerjan> well i _have_ had OJ, although i only drink half a cup per day as my stomach doesn't hold well with too much sour
01:19:08 <quintopia> that sounds like a good approach to cold weather
01:19:16 <quintopia> boily: medication for canker sores
01:19:54 <quintopia> i probably wouldn't need it if i brushed more regularly eh
01:20:06 <quintopia> so what you gotta do tonight boilyface
01:20:08 <boily> ah! something like anbesol!
01:20:14 <quintopia> no
01:20:16 <boily> no?
01:20:17 <oerjan> my understanding is that chicken soup for healing is an american thing, possibly jewish in origin.
01:20:26 <boily> don't care; has chicken.
01:20:27 <quintopia> anbesol is not waterproof
01:20:34 <quintopia> its for external sores
01:21:08 <boily> hm... I'll have to investigate that mysterious product.
01:21:28 <boily> meanwhile, tonight is the night where nothing happens much.
01:22:55 <quintopia> so...gaming?
01:23:22 <boily> uhm... <_<'... mainly reddit browsing hth
01:23:46 <quintopia> oh :(
01:23:59 <quintopia> so hard to find people who want to game with me
01:24:25 <boily> sorry, completely exhausted. I don't know how many hours I worked this week.

01:30:11 <tswett> Depends on the game and how you play it.
01:30:34 <tswett> When I play Starcraft, if I'm trying hard to win, it's pretty stressful.
01:31:03 <quintopia> oh i like co-ops
01:31:17 <ProofTechnique> EU IV feels a lot like a job.
01:31:21 <quintopia> just fucking around and messing with stuff
01:34:20 <zzo38> If you don't like Starcraft then play game "I don't know"craft
01:35:39 <quintopia> i don't know if i like starcraft, but i'll play "I don't know"craft when you finish writing it.
01:37:03 <zzo38> Or, try to play Washizu mahjong by internet if you have any software to do so.
01:37:31 <quintopia> I already beat and 100%ed that game

03:58:02 <zzo38> Why is it permitted for names of elements and attributes in XML to contain non-ASCII characters? My opinion is this is stupid and it shoudln't be. Non-ASCII characters should only be allowed in text (both normal and CDATA), values of attributes, and comments.
03:58:51 <pikhq> XML is overly complex as a rule.
04:00:48 <zzo38> Yes it is too complex, although it presumably is doing what it needs to do. Still a few things are a bit stupid.
04:01:17 <pikhq> Take a quick look at the processing instructions. :)
04:05:14 <zzo38> While it does have a lot of extensions, most of them are optional (and does not affect the syntax of the document) so it is not a problem. If you can ignore unknown processing instructions then it might work in some cases.
04:07:06 <zzo38> It does have a few good ideas such as namespaces, although the method of doing this might be a bit more complicated than it should be.
04:09:07 <zzo38> It does have far more complexity than it should have, although some files/services are using XML so a XML parser would be needed.

05:25:56 <zzo38> I want to read XML files in SQLite. I don't need DTD and encryption and fancy stuff like that, although I do want namespaces, and it would also help to support queries.
05:30:51 <zzo38> Is there suitable C library to do it with? With simple one file and don't need a configure script and so on

06:39:23 <MDude> Maybe I left that downstars actually.
06:41:13 <MDude> But yeah, I should write about ideas on chatbots and AI and stuff already instead of waiting until I implement stuff to write about it.

07:19:57 <dulla> I'm still interested
07:20:20 -!- Tod-Autojoined has joined.
07:22:19 <MDream> I think I mentioned some of it before, about making variants of chatbots.
07:22:41 <MDream> But yeah, I need to make sure I'm not up too late.
07:22:52 <vanila> variants?
07:23:21 <dulla> they do something
07:23:23 <dulla> but
07:23:25 <dulla> they suck less
07:23:37 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
07:23:49 <MDream> Of the general idea of how they work.
07:24:19 <dulla> or they have more general functionality
07:24:41 <dulla> but that'd require run-time reloading/factoring, or a dynamic structure which is a pain nin the cock
07:24:48 <MDream> The first idea I had on it was when thinking about how chatbots left in public tend to pick up rude behavior.
07:25:44 <MDream> If you string two chatbots together, the first one can do the learning, but isntead of speaking directly to the user it can pass it message through a more hardcoded chatbot that paraphrases it.
07:26:15 <MDream> And from there I came up with other ideas in which a chatbot is considered a node in a larger network.
07:26:59 <dulla> so more or less a multi-layer ANN for information representation
07:27:05 <dulla> So that shit stays pg
07:27:16 <dulla> and that they can't teach your dog to respond to a retarded name
07:27:27 <MDream> Yeah.
07:27:40 <dulla> With multiple inputs, it can gather more data in the long run
07:27:58 <dulla> Though you'd need to enforce some kind of channel-locality to some of the endpoints

18:01:06 <mrohman> This irc client eats 20% cpu
18:01:23 <coppro> lol
18:01:24 <mrohman> I wonder what it is doing
18:02:01 <mrohman> AndroIRC
18:02:21 <mrohman> Most cpu consuming client ever
18:04:21 <mrohman> Is there yet an or-typesystem?
18:05:48 <mrohman> (List (if p 5 5.0) "hi") has the type 《int or double or string》
18:08:37 <oerjan> mrohman: i've seen such a system for lambda calculus but damn if i can manage to google it
18:09:27 <ais523> mrohman: I was working on this in my thesis
18:09:29 <elliott> there are type systems like that. i forget the name. gradual typing systems often have it. typed racket is like that i think
18:09:32 <ais523> the normal search term is "intersection types"
18:09:38 <oerjan> argh
18:09:47 <oerjan> i tried "disjunctive" or "conjunctive" :P
18:10:13 <ais523> my favourite prior work on the subject was by Kfoury
18:10:21 <ais523> let me see if there's a publicly available link
18:10:46 <oerjan> it seems rather obscure to find regardless
18:11:30 <oerjan> actually i'm not sure this is the same thing
18:11:40 <oerjan> what i remember was _untagged_ types
18:12:05 <ais523> here we go: http://hdl.handle.net/2144/1597
18:12:18 <ais523> it's a technical report, so should be available even if you don't have subscriptions to every journal in existence
18:12:23 <ais523> (I like technical reports for that reason)
18:12:35 <ais523> that's very close to the stuff I was doing in my thesis, btw
18:12:38 <oerjan> e.g. \f x -> f (f x)  had a type like ((x -> y) /\ (y -> z)) -> x -> z
18:13:16 <ais523> oerjan: that's exactly the type it gets in my bounded intersection types
18:13:23 <ais523> and regular intersection types also give it the same type
18:13:41 <oerjan> also, if you added an omega type that everything belonged to, you could characterize terminating terms in untyped LC as those that could be typed with the omega in only negative positions
18:14:48 <oerjan> (where negative position corresponds roughly to "you can take this as an argument but not return it")
18:15:08 <oerjan> and also to contravariance in functor terms
18:15:13 -!- skj3gg has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
18:15:27 <oerjan> note also that there was no quantification in this type system
18:15:28 -!- skj3gg has joined.
18:16:22 <oerjan> oh and you didn't need omega for strongly normalizing terms

18:17:28 <oerjan> come to think of it, this was precisely the subject which got me to make my first SO post, way back
18:17:33 <oerjan> iirc
18:21:58 <oerjan> i guess "top" type mentioned in that report abstract is the same as omega
18:36:14 <dulla> intersections
18:37:31 <mrohman> Hm
18:38:15 <mrohman> I thought intersection types had something to do with value ranges
18:38:56 <mrohman> Certain expressions in my type system would bind a type
18:39:01 <oerjan> that's probably interval types
18:39:03 <mrohman> For example
18:39:08 <dulla> ?
18:40:04 <mrohman> (If (isint q) (add 1 q) (strreverse q))
18:40:25 <oerjan> gah
18:40:40 <mrohman> This would imply that q is (int ot str)
18:40:41 <dulla> ?
18:40:42 <oerjan> pattern matching is so much more elegant
18:40:58 <mrohman> So the add wouldnt typecheck
18:41:50 <mrohman> However you can add a rule that the if check binds q in subexpressions to a specific type
18:42:31 <mrohman> Which allows that add there typechecks statically as well
18:54:27 <mrohman> So in an essence the only reason for dynamic typed languages is being too lazy to write a typechecker

19:05:38 <boily> mrhelloman. I guess dynamic typed languages are "it works until it doesn't and you hit some runtime error", and static are "it doesn't compile until it does".
19:06:26 <ais523> I think you can write programs in dynamic languages that can't be decidably type-checked (without rewording them)

19:12:18 <oerjan> yes, but it cannot be typechecked then
19:12:18 <ais523> although it has to end in either type mismatch error, or an infinite loop
19:12:54 <oerjan> i assume the point is to have a typechecking that is equivalent to "only err if the program would dynamically do so"
19:13:20 <oerjan> because otherwise, what's the question really.
19:13:53 <ais523> right

21:23:19 <mrohman> Whaat
21:24:01 <mrohman> Of course i can typecheck it even if its tc
21:25:10 <oerjan> not in such a way that exactly the non-erring programs fail to typecheck
21:25:15 <oerjan> er
21:25:43 <oerjan> PLEASE ADD/REMOVE A NEGATION AS APPROPRIATE
21:25:44 <mrohman> Hm?
21:26:39 <oerjan> mrohman: you cannot make a typechecker that accepts all programs that wouldn't give a dynamic error and none that would, and does so before running the program
21:27:03 <mrohman> Oh
21:27:46 <mrohman> You mean (if p a b ) where b produces a runtime type error
21:27:56 <oerjan> yeah
21:28:04 <mrohman> But you cant decide p
21:28:15 <mrohman> True
21:28:31 <mrohman> But thats not what i'm aiming for
21:29:30 <mrohman> It's just that i want the style of such languages with static typechecking
21:29:58 <oerjan> i think the word "hybrid" belongs in there somewhere then hth
21:30:56 <mrohman> Which means that you have to account for ifs not always returning the same type
21:31:25 <oerjan> did you know that "hybrid types" gives you a lot of information on cars tdnh unless that's what you're looking for i guess
21:31:57 <mrohman> You wont need runtime typechecks then

00:29:21 <Taneb> I seem to be going to Edinburgh the weekend after next
00:29:39 <Taneb> Phantom_Hoover, why are train tickets to Edinburgh like twice as expensive as train tickets to Hexham?
00:29:50 <Taneb> Is it because Edinburgh is, in fact, twice as far away from here as Hexham?
00:29:58 <Phantom_Hoover> i think it's something to do with that, yeah
00:30:16 <Phantom_Hoover> of course there's also the customs duty on importing englishness
00:30:59 <Taneb> Am I allowed to protest that I am in fact only 50% English?
00:31:17 <zzo38> Is that relevant?
00:31:26 <Taneb> I do not know
00:31:30 <zzo38> I suppose you can ask
00:32:34 <Vorpal> Taneb, price is generally roughly correlated with the length of travel yes. In most parts of the world at least.
00:33:34 <oerjan> god, google map's ui has got annoying
00:33:38 <Phantom_Hoover> the trains tend to be so empty after newcastle it wouldn't be unexpected if they charged less, though
00:33:54 <Taneb> Vorpal, I was mostly surprised at the price because I've ended up with an instinct for train ticket prices entirely based on the York <-> Hexham route
00:34:04 <oerjan> all i want to do is pan in such a way that i can see edinburgh, hexham and york simultaneously :(
00:34:25 <Taneb> oerjan, Hexham is precisely the midpoint of the two cities
00:36:06 <oerjan> no GM, when i double click on the map i _don't_ want you to zoom out to the whole UK
00:38:24 <oerjan> what is the point of showing a smooth zooming if i cannot _stop_ it at an intermediate point
00:38:25 <Phantom_Hoover> i'm more familiar with the edinburgh-midlands routes

06:16:04 <ais523> hmm, this reminds me
06:16:14 <ais523> some of the art contributed to NetHack 4 contains what are apparently Chinese characters
06:16:21 <ais523> and I want to make sure that they don't say anything rude or out-of-place
06:16:37 <zzo38> You should try to learn what it does mean anyways
06:17:40 <ais523> yes
06:17:46 <oren_> Isn't nethack a text-based game?
06:18:28 <zzo38> I think you can do icon-mode too though?
06:18:41 -!- not^v has joined.
06:19:19 <oren_> zzo38: googled it, yeah apparently there is a mode with actual graphics
06:20:19 <ais523> oren_: I'm implementing both multiple graphical modes, and multiple text modes
06:20:36 <ais523> anyway, here it is: http://nethack4.org/pastebin/unknown-chinese.png
06:20:53 <ais523> I'd put it into Google Translate or the like, but I don't know how to translate the image into ideograms
06:21:27 <ais523> especially given how small the image is
06:21:30 -!- ^v has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
06:21:40 <zzo38> I suppose multiple text mode can be ASCII mode, PC mode, VT100 mode, and Unicode xterm mode, and also colors or monochrome, and there are some other kind of details too I think; would that be it?
06:21:44 <ais523> anyone have ideas for an OCR that works on Chinese?
06:22:20 <zzo38> I don't have any OCR, but I know there is servers to look up by radicals and other methods that you can pick from the form
06:22:28 <ais523> zzo38: well, currently the user specifies what characters they want; there are two implemented modes for this, one selection uses only characters that exist in ASCII, the other uses only characters that exist in codepage 437
06:22:36 <ais523> and then the game engine works out how to render it
06:22:39 <oren_> last character is 少 meaning "small" not sure about the other two
06:22:52 <ais523> no I don't think it is
06:23:00 <ais523> the top-left stroke is sloping top left to bottom right
06:23:05 <ais523> not bottom left to top right
06:23:20 <ais523> (also flavour implies that this is Chinese rather than Japanese)
06:23:24 <zzo38> You also have to look if it is Simplified Chinese or if it is Traditional Chinese
06:23:31 <ais523> I don't know, is the answer
06:23:35 <ais523> it may well be meaningless
06:23:41 <ais523> I just don't want it to be meaningful in an offensive way
06:24:21 <zzo38> (My opinion is that Traditional Chinese is better; however, inside of China it is usually Simplified is used)
06:24:52 <zzo38> What are those Chinese icons used for anyways?
06:24:57 <ais523> zzo38: I think the majority use is different between mainland China and Taiwan, isn't it?
06:25:00 <ais523> and they decorate a wall
06:25:04 <ais523> in the tileset called "Chinese wall"
06:25:10 <ais523> which is why I think it's meant to be Chinese
06:26:04 <zzo38> OK
06:26:38 <zzo38> ais523: As far as I understand, Simplified is used in China, and Traditional is for everywhere else in the world
06:27:08 <oren_> Japan has its own less simple simplifications

06:37:17 <ais523> hmm, now I'm halfway though character map looking for them
06:37:19 <oren_> I tried linedict.com but I can't find anything that looks like the first two characters
06:39:07 <ais523> I guess the first one could be 牜?
06:39:11 <ais523> `unicode 牜
06:39:17 <HackEgo> U+725C CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-725C \ UTF-8: e7 89 9c  UTF-16BE: 725c  Decimal: &#29276; \ 牜 (牜) \ Uppercase: U+725C \ Category: Lo (Letter, Other) \ Bidi: L (Left-to-Right)
06:39:29 <ais523> probably not though
06:40:30 <oren_> That's like a halfwidth version of 牛 which means cow
06:41:05 <ais523> the second one is pretty hopeless, I agree
06:41:42 <oren_> It could be 夶
06:42:01 <oren_> but it doesn't really work
06:42:03 <ais523> I don't think there's a great match for the third one either
06:42:22 <ais523> `unicode 夶
06:42:24 <HackEgo> U+5936 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-5936 \ UTF-8: e5 a4 b6  UTF-16BE: 5936  Decimal: &#22838; \ 夶 (夶) \ Uppercase: U+5936 \ Category: Lo (Letter, Other) \ Bidi: L (Left-to-Right)
06:42:34 <oren_> in general chinese characters don't often have a shape like < in them
06:42:52 <ais523> yep, many of the shapes there are quite different from anything I'm seeing in the Unicode list
06:43:18 <ais523> if we go by slope directions of the lines (which are very clear in the third shape), the only option is 氵
06:43:29 <ais523> but I have a feeling that would have been drawn differently
06:43:32 <oren_> If those are chinese characters then they are pixelated out of recognition
06:43:37 <ais523> yep
06:43:49 <ais523> in that case, I'm probably OK with them, although perhaps we should actually spell something appropriate
06:43:51 <ais523> or at least amusing
06:44:31 <ais523> and 氵 is crazily common, at least, and not particularly awkward
06:44:41 <ais523> (it was nice of Unicode to give definitions)
06:44:43 <oren_> that is the water radical
06:44:52 <ais523> yep
06:45:35 <ais523> in retrospect, this doesn't actually look very much like a CJK language at all
06:45:41 <ais523> and perhaps is failing to perform its function due to that?
06:47:29 <oren_> most recognizable characters would become orange blocks at that scale...
06:51:18 <oren_> take 街道 which means street for example...
06:54:06 <ais523> isn't that two ideograms?
06:54:07 <ais523> but yes
06:56:45 <oren_> yes two. In chinese Jiēdào. In japanese it is pronounced kaidou and means highway
06:58:11 <ais523> hmm, how cross-intelligable are written chinese and japanese?
06:58:59 <oren_> only a little.
06:59:18 <ais523> like french and italian?
07:00:14 <oren_> the japanese-chinese words are mostly ones from the middle ages, so their meanings have shifted, and Mandarin has evolved in the meantime. Japanese and Classical Chinese are much closer
07:00:31 <ais523> so yes, pretty much exactly like french and italian then
07:00:52 <oren_> More like italian and english
07:01:20 <oren_> because japanese has a superstrate of chinese over a japanese substrate
07:01:22 <ais523> sometimes I play computer games set to a foreign language, for fun
07:01:56 <oren_> like english has a latinate superstrate over a germanic substrate
07:03:57 <oren_> ais523: yeah that can be fun
07:07:03 <oren_> The most annoying thing my parents used to do is speak in italian french or spanish, depending on their mood, in order so I couldn't tell what they were saying.
07:08:20 <oren_> it was really annoying to 8 year old me
07:10:14 <oerjan> is that why you learned japanese twh

09:38:19 <zzo38> I found some papers on which I have written several kind of chess variants. One is a complex dimensional chess variant.
09:38:41 <b_jonas> what
09:39:09 <zzo38> There is also one where the bishops are now beavers and the king can use a shotgun but only if he has a license.
09:40:02 <b_jonas> you can find lots of chess variants on the internet.
09:40:08 <b_jonas> some of them are crazy.
09:42:07 <zzo38> I know and many I have put in too.
09:44:31 <zzo38> There is also "Bland Chess" from my brother; no diagonal moves are allowed (although knights can still move normally).
09:45:21 <zzo38> This means that pawns cannot capture, queens are same as rooks, bishops cannot move at all, and the king moves only one space orthogonally.
09:48:10 <zzo38> There is also a game "Chess With Checkers Added" that both me and my brother have simultaneously invented independently; we both invented the same game. At first he just put the checkers in front of the pawns as a joke but then we both made up the same rules for the game that is set up like that.
09:51:43 <zzo38> Do you make up chess variant too?
09:59:08 <b_jonas> zzo38: hehe, "bland chess" reminds me to two variants Smullyan mentions: one where every piece can move only in a way that it stays on the same colored square that it starts from, so pawns can only move double or (non en-passant) capture, 
09:59:23 <ais523> and knights are just stuck?
09:59:26 <b_jonas> and the less restricted version where knights can't move but other figures aren't restricte.
09:59:30 <b_jonas> yes, knights are stuck.
10:00:20 <ais523> clearly we need Evil Chess where the pieces sometimes explode when you move them, and arbitrary time limits are placed on you every now and then, and the rules aren't what you think they are, and there are cutscenes
10:01:04 <b_jonas> cutscenes!
10:01:06 <b_jonas> hehehe
10:01:17 <zzo38> Another idea if something I wanted to learn how to make up is the chess variant where the commands of INTERCAL are included.
10:01:32 <b_jonas> lol
10:01:38 <b_jonas> chess with intercal commands
10:02:01 <b_jonas> (d4) DO COME FROM d2

10:09:30 <zzo38> Is it possible to make a C header file with macros having mangled names so that it can interface with C++ programming?
10:10:29 <ais523> zzo38: not macros, but you can do wrapper functions by using a separate C++ object file
10:10:47 <ais523> which basically has a bunch of C++ functions that call counterparts declared with extern "C"
10:11:33 <b_jonas> zzo38: it depends on the architecture
10:11:51 <zzo38> I wanted to do it without wrapper functions so that the function pointer is the same as the C function
10:11:54 <b_jonas> zzo38: on some compilers or systems, C++ symbols mangle to names that aren't valid in C because they contain weird characters
10:12:26 <b_jonas> wait, let me look up the specifics
10:12:32 <zzo38> On which systems are they? Is it possible with GNU C?
10:12:58 <b_jonas> a moment, I don't know off the top of my head, I just let the compiler and debugger deal with this stuff
10:13:42 <CrazyM4n> So I've been messing around with trying to reverse engineer /dev/input/mice for fun
10:13:47 <CrazyM4n> Did I miss anything? https://gist.github.com/CrazyM4n/553379cf3fa93721664f lol
10:13:51 <b_jonas> the MS compiler use @ signs in mangled names
10:14:05 <b_jonas> and ? signs too
10:14:26 <b_jonas> all C++-mangled names start with a ? sign
10:14:45 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
10:15:23 <b_jonas> on GNU C, it might be possible because it uses only alphanumeric and underscore characters in mangled names
10:15:47 <zzo38> But the C++ code might be compiled with a different compiler even though I am using GNU
10:16:21 <b_jonas> but of course such a thing might be somewhat fragile and dependent on the version of compiler and libstdc++ you're targetting, not because of the name mangling, but because of the other stuff like representation of library stuff and exceptions and other horrible things
10:16:39 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
10:16:55 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, and?
10:16:58 <zzo38> I don't actually know what compiler and libc++ and stuff they are using
10:17:29 <b_jonas> zzo38: why don't you use the normal solution, that is, write the wrappers in C++?
10:17:38 <b_jonas> oh wait, wrong channel for that
10:17:56 <zzo38> Like I said maybe it is a different compiler, for one thing
10:18:02 <b_jonas> zzo38: anyway, if you wanted for MSVC, you could try writing in assembler directly
10:18:06 <b_jonas> rather than C
10:18:36 <b_jonas> zzo38: sure, if you don't know the compiler then you can't compile C++ interfaces.
10:18:53 <b_jonas> you have to know the compiler type and version and architecture.
10:20:33 <zzo38> I believe their files are Microsoft but my files are GNU and I want to be able to interface them, preferably only the header file needs to change and the main file can be keep the same one even when interfacing with other C++ programs with other compilers and versions and architectures.
10:21:21 <b_jonas> zzo38: could you make C interfaces for your code, compiled with gnu, and a thin C++ wrapper for it, compiled with MSVC, possibly header-only with inline functions?
10:21:56 <b_jonas> zzo38: for MSVC, if you don't do this and you want to generate the mangled stuff yourself, you might also have to depend on which version of MSVC
10:22:12 <b_jonas> zzo38: if this is not esoteric stuff, then don't do that, and just write a wrapper they have to compile or include
10:22:47 <b_jonas> you can probably make the wrapper portable enough C++ and test it by compiling (including) it in a C++ program compiled with gnu C
10:23:10 <b_jonas> but even then, you can be burned by the various idiocies of the MS compiler regarding C++
10:24:27 <zzo38> I don't even know if I have MSVC, and if I do, I don't know what versions and other stuff
10:25:52 <zzo38> Also it is interfacing with a DLL
10:26:21 <b_jonas> zzo38: sure, but the DLL can have a C interface
10:26:43 <b_jonas> if you give them a thin wrapper they include or compile, then it can be mostly portable among compilers
10:26:51 <zzo38> The program expects to load a DLL file with C++ codes
10:27:09 <zzo38> But I want to write the DLL file with C codes
10:27:11 <b_jonas> well, a DLL with C++ interface can almost never be portable among multiple versions of MSVC, or among gcc and msvc
10:27:26 <b_jonas> so if you want to do that, then you'll have to ask what compiler they're using
10:28:04 <b_jonas> you also have to know the operating system type (windows or linux etc) and the CPU (x86 or x86_64)

11:15:32 <vanila> what's new in esoland
11:16:29 <b_jonas> this shellcode with shells is a good enough joke that maybe you should ask the tasvideos guys to edit it into the description
11:16:41 <ais523> most people don't know what "shellcode" means

11:17:45 <ais523> different setup, though
11:17:53 <ais523> there's actually a video explaining all the steps on YouTube
11:18:14 <vanila> I wonder how to find similar code exec type things in NES and gameb oy games
11:18:26 <b_jonas> oh, you said realtime-viable glitch
11:18:30 <b_jonas> that's much scarier
11:19:16 <b_jonas> I mean, it's not like GB pokémon where you can just edit memory in real time
11:19:36 <b_jonas> or Zelda OOT where they do memory corruption with items in real time 
11:19:52 <b_jonas> but then
11:20:15 <b_jonas> apparently the GB Super Mario Land 2 memory corruption has been performed in real time too
11:20:25 <b_jonas> so I shouldn't be surprised by any of this anymore
11:22:23 <vanila> very interesting :))
11:22:43 <b_jonas> these real time speedrunners are crazy
11:23:07 <b_jonas> they find their way to perform glitches in real time
11:23:14 <b_jonas> develop very crazy techniques
11:23:23 <ais523> b_jonas: I do realtime speedrunning too
11:23:25 <ais523> in Neverwinter Nights
11:23:41 <b_jonas> ais523: ok, but how glitched?
11:24:10 <ais523> wall clips and item duping and exploiting broken scripts, mostly
11:24:12 <b_jonas> mind you, a not very glitched real time speedrun can be also amazing when the player demonstrates good technique
11:24:24 <b_jonas> I enjoy both kinds
11:24:28 <vanila> do you pull the scripts out of the game and study them?
11:24:40 <ais523> yes, there's a level editor that can read them
11:24:45 <vanila> cool :D
11:24:48 <ais523> although you can only use it on levels you've already completed
11:25:05 <ais523> (unless you just rename the files to make them think they're custom)
11:25:39 <b_jonas> on what console or operating system do you speedrun that?
11:25:50 <ais523> Windows 8.1
11:25:52 <b_jonas> (I think you mentioned this once already when I asked about silence spells)

11:41:19 <J_Arcane> vanila: Yeah, in DrRacket I have Å mapped to automatically output the () or [] pair I need for the context; but right now I'm doing JavaScript tutorials on codecademy; which doesn't even do auto-pairs.
11:52:14 <oren_> I think keyboards in general need more keys. I would put a few more rows above the number row
11:54:09 <oren_> although maybe that wouldn't help if you're a touch-typist
11:54:44 <oren_> I type with two fingers
11:56:18 <ais523> J_Arcane: () or [] are a little easier to type than Å (capslock shift-a a for me)
11:57:00 <J_Arcane> ais523: å, rather, which is a plain key on a Finnish keyboard.
11:57:06 <J_Arcane> Just to the right of p.
11:57:25 <ais523> that's where [ is already on a UK keyboard
11:57:55 <ais523> also UK keyboards have exactly two altgr keys, it used to be one
11:58:11 <ais523> one of them is a second |; on some OSes, it looks different from the original |
11:58:20 <ais523> and the other, added quite recently, is €
11:59:26 <oren_> å
11:59:37 <oren_> for me it is &aa
12:01:19 <ais523> I don't like my compose key to be a key that's otherwise useful
12:01:31 <ais523> caps lock's intended function is the least useful on the keyboard
12:01:34 <ais523> even pause is useful more often
12:02:11 <int-e> I use caps-lock for WM interaction.
12:03:26 <oren_> Caps lock is useful if you use it for IME switching
12:04:22 <int-e> (slightly perversely, I use the left windows key for äöüÄÖÜß...)
12:05:16 <oren_> Ι υσε
12:05:51 <ais523> super is a generally useful key, though
12:06:01 <ais523> also I use alt+super for WM interaction
12:06:03 <ais523> a single key tended to get typoed too often
12:06:18 <b_jonas> I use alt for WM interaction,
12:06:28 <b_jonas> but not all alt+key and alt+mouse combos are that, only some of curse
12:06:30 <oren_> That's what happens when you look at the screen instead of you keyboard
12:07:46 <b_jonas> alt plus any of (the function keys, escape, space) (possibly with other modifiers at the same times); alt plus right or middle drag; and alt plus control plus arrows and edit keys and numpad keys
12:08:36 <b_jonas> but I should refine the specific, in particular, I should make a system where shift isn't used for any WM function so I can reserve it as a modifier to act on a WM nested inside a VNC session
12:08:47 <b_jonas> does that sound crazy?
12:09:12 <int-e> b_jonas: no, I've run into that nesting problem myself
12:09:39 <oren_> I've never found a need to interact with a window manager with my keyboard... What would the point be?
12:09:51 <int-e> oren_: the mouse is so far away
12:10:10 <b_jonas> int-e: sure, but is the particular desire to have two full sets of shortcuts (rather than either a limited set of shortcuts in the nested WM, or switch with numlock, or act on the nested stuff only when it's full screen) normal?
12:10:13 <oren_> It is in the centre of my kyboeard

12:12:10 <oren_> touch typists tend to hit the touchpad with their wrists but my typing style never has that problem

12:12:17 <int-e> *accuracy*
12:13:01 <oren_> well yeah for games I use an actual mouse
12:14:27 <oren_> i type in a position resting my fingers on the cdwq and mkop keys
12:14:41 <b_jonas> oren_: I interact with a mouse too sometimes, or with a combination of the keyboard modifiers and mouse
12:14:54 <oren_> well sort hovering over that area anyway
12:14:56 <b_jonas> oren_: I have set it up so I can do almost any function with either the keyboard or the mouse,
12:15:04 <Phantom_Hoover> oh good grief
12:15:14 <b_jonas> (well, not really, the window managers are like that by default, I've just modified the settings a bit)
12:15:19 <Phantom_Hoover> all this time i'd thought the david mitchell who wrote cloud atlass was the comedian

12:15:35 <b_jonas> except of course restoring a full screen window, which you have to do with the keyboard because there's no WM area left on
12:16:02 <b_jonas> but I rarely full screen windows, only for games or watching movies, when I don't want to interact with the WM for a while
12:16:42 <b_jonas> I have, however, spent some time to be able to make the WM are very small so it doesn't waste vertical screen estate

13:18:35 <ais523> so, I started working on azip again
13:19:04 <ais523> and found a really elegant algorithm for "find all substrings that appear more than once in a given string" that runs in O(n log n log n) time
13:20:22 <ais523> now I'm wondering where to start looking to see if it's already known
13:23:28 <vanila> that sounds really interesting!!
13:24:49 <ais523> I'm planning to use it to make the new version of azip
13:24:55 <ais523> or maybe just a better zlib encoder
13:26:07 <ais523> azip is a compression algo Iwas working on a while back
13:26:25 <ais523> it's about comparable with bzip2 (and much better than gzip)
13:28:50 -!- AnotherTest_ has joined.
13:28:57 <ais523> oh, it assumes that the input string can be indexed in O(1), which might or might not be true in practice

13:29:27 -!- AnotherTest_ has changed nick to AnotherTest.
13:29:32 <ais523> otherwise, you'd have to build a binary tree out of the input string for indexing it, and get O(n log³ n) performance

13:40:50 <int-e> Karp, Miller, Rosenberg ""
13:40:51 <int-e> Rapid identification of repeated patterns in strings, trees and arrays
13:41:03 <int-e> 1972, looks relevant
13:41:29 <int-e> Though old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array#Construction_Algorithms has a couple more references.
13:42:47 <int-e> (The Karp, Miller, Rosenberg one is based on the idea of first identifying equal letters, and then doubling the match lengths iteratively, in O(n) steps per doubling. So it'll actually be O(n log n) total for what you need, I think.)
13:44:30 <ais523> int-e: my algorithm is basically that, with some extra tricks to also figure out the lengths
13:47:02 <ais523> oh, hmm, the algo there is a) not the same as mine, b) solves a subset of the problem
13:47:22 <ais523> theirs looks for matches at length n, mine finds all lengths n for which there are matches (together with the matches themselves)
13:48:21 <int-e> Actually...
13:48:58 <int-e> if you have "aaaaaa", how what does the output of the algorithm look like? Do you only look for longest matches?
13:50:21 <int-e> (with a^n as input, listing all occurrences of a^k for k<n is clearly not doable in sub-quadratic time)
13:50:36 <ais523> it finds a single match at each of the lengths 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, because it doesn't directly find matches that are prefixes of other matches (but those are trivial to add to the output if you need them, but that obviously gives you O(n²) performance worst-case)
13:51:23 <ais523> also the output's hierarchical in a sense
13:52:23 <ais523> ah no, right, that paper is basically the same algo as mine
13:52:34 <ais523> just with less information retained between iterations
13:52:47 <ais523> I thought it would be unlikely to be new
13:53:59 <ais523> anyway, 1972 is over 25 years ago
13:54:04 <int-e> Mainly I was trying to suggest suffix arrays and trees as starting points for finding related work.
13:54:06 <ais523> meaning no patent concerns even if you're American
13:54:28 <int-e> Then I looked at the Karp paper and wondered how close it was to what you actually did.
13:54:36 <ais523> a suffix array is the form which my output takes
13:55:04 <ais523> except that it also knows the longest common prefix of any two consecutive lines
13:55:41 <int-e> (I should write Karp et al.)
13:56:16 <ais523> aha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCP_array
13:56:20 <ais523> this is what I was looking for
13:57:15 <ais523> apparently it was done in O(n) (!) in 2003
13:57:39 <ais523> actually 2001
13:58:26 <ais523> also there's an O(n²) algo that's faster in practice, asymptotic performance can be weird sometimes
13:59:32 <int-e> linear time suffix tree construction has been known since 1973.
14:00:45 <Taneb> ꙮ_ꙮ is my favourite emoticon
14:01:05 <int-e> (That's not an LCP yet, of course.)
14:01:35 <int-e> 14 eyed horror
14:01:42 <Taneb> Mostly because my housemate's terminal can't render it
14:01:47 <int-e> (20 in some fonts)
14:02:18 <int-e> my terminal doesn't render it either
14:02:42 <ais523> int-e: yes, linear time LCP is what I was surprised at
14:02:43 <int-e> but cut&paste work
14:02:59 <ais523> it's even been done with only enough memory to hold the inputs plus the outputs

21:59:45 <zzo38> Steal Summoning {3UU} Instant :: Manifest target spell.      Do you like that one?
22:00:29 -!- SignX has quit (Quit: Page closed).
22:00:46 <b_jonas> zzo38: hmm... how does that work? does the manifested object come into play under your control? and what happens if you target a copy of a spell?
22:01:28 <zzo38> I think it does come into play under your control. If it is a copy of a spell then it doesn't.
22:02:33 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, but what happens if it's a copy of a spell? nothing? or does the spell disappear? or moved to another zone and then disappear?
22:03:43 -!- adu has joined.
22:04:02 <zzo38>  Actually I fixed my alternative rules now and now the copy can come into play as a token (previously I wrote it not to work with objects that come into play face-down, but I changed that)
22:04:40 -!- qlkzy has joined.
22:04:43 <b_jonas> hmm
22:05:34 <zzo38> This rule doesn't affect any official cards as far as I am aware.
22:06:02 <b_jonas> I'm still not sure I know how manifest works
22:06:03 <zzo38> (Also this alternative rule doesn't affect non-card objects that come into play from a zone other than the stack)
22:06:19 <b_jonas> and this might confuse it further
22:07:18 <zzo38> I believe manifesting an object means you put the object into play face-down under your control, and then it becomes allowed to be turned face-up for its mana cost if the front face is a creature.
22:07:45 <zzo38> If a instant or sorcery tries to turn face up for any reason, it is revealed but then remains face down.
22:07:54 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, and there's some extra rules, like on what happens when you try to bounce a manifested non-permanent (it remains exiled)
22:08:14 <zzo38> That's implied by other rules and has nothing to do with manifest.
22:08:32 <zzo38> Any instant or sorcery that tries to come into play for any reason whatsoever instead remains where it is.
22:08:55 <b_jonas> so what if I try to target a face down spell with Steal Summoning? does it get revealed as it is put onto the battlefield, or only when it leaves the battlefield?
22:09:28 <zzo38> Only when it leaves the battlefield, although you can look at it right away.
22:09:43 <b_jonas> ok
22:10:14 <zzo38> (Well, not until Steal Summoning resolves; you can't look at it before then if it isn't your spell.)
22:11:19 <b_jonas> “Steal Summoning” sounds like the name of that nonexistant instant that gets you to control a spell, which is why I find this a bit disappointing
22:11:44 <zzo38> I think if a face-down permanent turns face-up and the front face is a Aura, that it would be discarded right away, but that if it is exiled and comes back, then a target for the Aura can be chosen.
22:12:10 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, that sounds about right
22:13:02 <b_jonas> I think the face down spell should probably be revealed when Steal Summoning resolves though
22:13:22 <zzo38> Why? I don't see any reason why it should have to?
22:13:42 <b_jonas> Because it leaves the stack in a way other than the normal way.
22:13:45 <zzo38> Does the rule about revealing them apply to spells too?
22:13:53 <zzo38> If it does, then yes it does get revealed.
22:14:01 <b_jonas> I hope so
22:14:18 <b_jonas> it has to, to make sure you can't cheat by casting a non-morph spell face down 
22:14:32 <b_jonas> this is so that M:tG in principle doesn't require an independent judge to play
22:14:40 <b_jonas> as long as you know the rules perfectly
22:15:50 <b_jonas> I'll check the rules, but that is definitely a goal the rules are trying to keep
22:17:24 <zzo38> Probably it is then
22:17:44 <b_jonas> “707.9. If a face-down permanent moves from the battlefield to any other zone, its owner must reveal it to all players as he or she moves it. If a face-down spell moves from the stack to any zone other than the battlefield, its owner must reveal it to all players as he or she moves it.
22:17:52 <b_jonas> If a player leaves the game, etc”
22:18:05 <b_jonas> So that means it wouldn't be revealed, because it's moved to the battlefield.
22:18:40 <b_jonas> This means if you Scroll of Cryptic Runes a face down spell, it's also not revealed.
22:18:42 <zzo38> O, OK then it isn't revealed, and in fact doesn't need to anyways
22:19:00 <zzo38> Yes OK
22:19:23 <b_jonas> though as this situation doesn't exist in official M:tG, you could change that rule for this
22:19:58 <zzo38> I don't want to change rules that I don't believe should be changed
22:20:32 <b_jonas> sure, it's fine
22:21:10 <b_jonas> I wonder if putting a copy of a spell into play as a face down token could lead to any strange situations, but it's probably fine
22:21:48 <b_jonas> it's face down, can't be turned face up in any way because its face is a sorcery or instant, and it disappears after it leaves the battlefield
22:22:57 <zzo38> One other rule I made up is that an effect is allowed to prohibit conceding in a subgame, but the outer game can always be conceded regardless of any effects, including during the subgame
22:23:38 <b_jonas> hmmm...
22:24:22 <b_jonas> that might work rules-wise, but I think it might be a bad idea
22:24:44 <b_jonas> because it could make subgames take too much real time
22:25:09 <zzo38> For example the effect that creates the subgame might say that conceding is not allowed. In such case the outer game can still be conceded, and subsubgames still can be conceded if those aren't prohibited too. If a continuous effect says "Conceding is not allowed" then it has no effect if this effect isn't played inside of the subgame.
22:25:33 <b_jonas> would you also make the rules about infinite loops not apply to the subgame directly as well?
22:26:01 <zzo38> So far I didn't and am not sure about that one yet
22:27:27 <zzo38> An effect that only says you can't lose doesn't prohibit you from conceding though.
22:27:53 <b_jonas> zzo38: what if it says you can't lose and your opponents can't win?
22:28:42 <zzo38> Still doesn't prohibit conceding.
22:28:50 <b_jonas> and aren't subgames basically deprecated anyway, with all cards creating subgames currently banned in all formats, even Vintage?
22:29:22 <b_jonas> sort of like Ante, only newer
22:29:51 <int-e> . o O ( "unban target card" )
22:30:49 <zzo38> Maybe although I made up one new card that creates a subgame. Also I wrote a few new rules for ante and sideboard; one effect is that all effects that cross games begin no earlier than the beginning of a match and end no later than the end of a match. Therefore anted cards are always returned at the end of a match.
22:31:10 <b_jonas> int-e: like a backwards Look at Me, I'm the DCI?
22:32:12 <int-e> Oh, nice flavour text on that one.
22:33:24 <zzo38> As far as I know "unban target card" should only work if the card was already unbanned at the beginning of the current game; even if it said "name a card" it still is
22:33:53 <b_jonas> zzo38: or at least at the beginning of the match
22:33:57 <dulla> subgames?
22:34:47 <zzo38> I would think that banned cards cease existing even in a sideboard though?
22:35:12 <zzo38> And you wouldn't be allowed to name a banned card.
22:35:55 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, they definitely cease existing in the sideboard. the remainder text of Look at Me is clear in that
22:36:11 <b_jonas> zzo38: I think it probably moves the banned cards to the same zone as AWOL
22:36:25 <b_jonas> even from the sideboard
22:37:15 <b_jonas> (or like Blacker Lotus)
22:37:32 <b_jonas> (I mean Chaos Confetti)
22:39:18 <zzo38> I would also make the assumption that cards with no valid RULECARD representation are automatically banned regardless of anything
22:39:40 <b_jonas> what's "RULECARD"?
22:40:09 <zzo38> Some programming language I partially made up but not much yet
22:40:54 <b_jonas> um, then maybe the card doesn't have a representation because you just haven't implemented it yet?
22:41:18 <zzo38> It is hypothetical for now of course.
22:42:20 <b_jonas> anyway, the relevant rule is “100.2. To play, each player needs his or her own deck of traditional Magic cards,” and “108.2. When a rule or text on a card refers to a “card,” it means only a Magic card.” 
22:42:54 <b_jonas> and the tourn't rules I guess

00:44:38 <oerjan> @tell ais523 <ais523> anyway, 1972 is over 25 years ago <-- 40 hth
00:44:38 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
00:45:20 <Taneb> oerjan, that makes no sense
00:45:29 <Taneb> 40 years is, like, 2 of my lifetimes
00:46:10 <oerjan> did you know jesus was born more than 100 of your lifetimes ago hth
00:47:15 <Taneb> What
00:47:31 <Taneb> Wasn't he born in, like, 6 BC
00:47:46 <oerjan> something like that.
00:48:21 <oerjan> are you saying it's only 99?
00:48:50 <Taneb> > 2015 - 20 * 100
00:48:51 <lambdabot>  15
00:49:00 <Taneb> I'm saying it's 101
00:49:34 <oerjan> well the date is a bit approximate so...
00:52:15 <oerjan> did you know the great pyramid was finished more than 227 of your lifetimes ago hth
00:54:00 <AndoDaan> So, that's 111 of your life times ago then, oerjan?
00:54:17 <oerjan> > 111*44
00:54:18 <lambdabot>  4884
00:54:36 <oerjan> NOT QUITE
00:55:03 <AndoDaan> Looks good... wow I can't remember when the great pyramids were built.
00:55:13 <oerjan> i _did_ google it hth
00:55:53 <AndoDaan> Wait. I know Chleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landings than the building of those pyramids.
00:56:07 <AndoDaan> I can figure this out without google.
00:56:18 <oerjan> hm i resolved the other day to look up the date for the fall of constantinople, only so i could give a cheeky in case someone asked me when the roman empire fell.
00:56:50 <oerjan> cleopatra was only about 50 years before jesus
00:57:30 <AndoDaan> It's funny how Western Civilisation gradual moved eastward over the centuries.
00:57:43 <AndoDaan> Italy, Turkey... then Russia.
00:57:57 <oerjan> hm actually just 30, she survived caesar by some years
00:58:05 <AndoDaan> I always mistake 50 BCE with 50CE.
00:58:22 <AndoDaan> Together with Marky Marc.
00:58:25 <oerjan> AndoDaan: well it first moved westward from greece hth
00:58:38 <oerjan> in fact it probably never left greece, which included turkey
00:58:39 <AndoDaan> True that.
00:58:57 <oerjan> (see: fall of constantinople)
00:59:28 <oerjan> ah 1453
00:59:44 <AndoDaan> Not 1467 (I think)?
01:00:17 <AndoDaan> I know there's some different views about the exact date.
01:00:21 <AndoDaan> To wikipedia!
01:00:40 <oerjan> nope
01:01:09 <AndoDaan> Blurgh.

09:14:15 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds).
09:14:34 <zzo38> I think that it could be implemented in a machine independent way actually, although that might slow down the program.

09:18:08 * Taneb hello
09:18:10 <zzo38> Also item 149 is algorithm to draw circle. With arithmetic bit shifting it would be:  for(;;) { x-=y>>n; y+=x>>n; plot(x,y); }  where n is a parameter, and the initial value of x and y are parameters.
09:18:46 <zzo38> I think you could set n=8 to do it with 8-bit computers.
09:20:11 <zzo38> So you could do it with only addition and subtraction (and carrying)!

10:50:44 <b_jonas> and it's better than "map" which means two different things
10:51:00 <oren> it does?
10:51:00 <b_jonas> reduce is called "inject" in smalltalk
10:51:17 <myname> inject sounds weird
10:51:28 <oren> I'm only familiar with the map from perl
10:52:17 <b_jonas> oren: sure, "map" means collect/transform in perl, but means dictionary or associative array in C++ or haskell
10:53:16 <oren> oh. well those meaning are related through the math meaning of it.
10:53:28 <b_jonas> but "select" is _much_ worse
10:53:36 <b_jonas> it means like ten different things in computers
10:53:37 <b_jonas> I have a list
10:53:57 <b_jonas> so for that, I recommend "filter" instead, which is what haskell calls it

14:13:23 <vanila> that burlesque quine sucks D:
14:14:54 <ais523> write a better one?

14:15:58 <vanila> #1=(write '#1# :circle t)    this common lisp one is very funny
14:16:56 <vanila> canwe please disallow self evaluating forms as "quines" :|
14:16:57 <ais523> @tell oerjan I picked 25 because that's when patents expire
14:16:58 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
14:17:53 <vanila> I like the frink one
14:18:54 <ais523> hmm, I think you could do better for Befunge
14:18:57 <J_Arcane> ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x))) ; <3
14:19:15 <vanila> lol @ HQ9+
14:19:19 <ais523> you can use a mismatched double quote character to put the entire program both inside and outside itself
14:19:29 <vanila> ais523, woah :D
14:19:33 <elliott> is that java one by int-e
14:20:07 <b_jonas> ais523: like, a string but you enter from orthogonally (or through a trampoline) so it's also not a string?
14:20:22 <b_jonas> I do something similar in perl and lua, when I both eval a string a use its value
14:20:23 <ais523> oh, we have one that works like that on the wiki: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Befunge#Quine
14:20:27 <ais523> I think it's possible to do better though
14:20:36 <b_jonas> (and there's such an obfuscation for dc too)
14:20:53 <vanila> R is a room. To quit: (- quit; -). When play begins: say entry 1 in Q; say Q in brace notation; quit. Q is a list of text variable. Q is {"R is a room. To quit: (- quit; -). When play begins: say entry 1 in Q; say Q in brace notation; quit. Q is a list of text variable. Q is "}
14:20:58 <vanila> in Inform!
14:21:20 <b_jonas> but my favourite style of quine is one that's easy to translate to any language,
14:21:28 <b_jonas> namely one where you index an array of strings with an array of numbers
14:21:32 <vanila> I like seeing the different categories of quine
14:21:33 <J_Arcane> BASIC's is my favorite: 10 LIST

14:30:41 <b_jonas> this is why it works in almost any language, because you can create a list of strings in almost any language, and a list of integers too, and index one by the other
14:30:56 <vanila> but it will not be so short, probably
14:31:06 <b_jonas> sure, it's not as short as other quines, not even in perl
14:31:19 <b_jonas> but it's also not very long

14:32:46 <ais523> it has defined behaviour on dividing by zero

14:34:08 <ais523> it's not that good, though
14:34:10 <ais523> can't even divide by zero
14:34:20 <ais523> I was looking for an online debugger though
14:34:20 <vanila> someone wrote a quine on perl whichs loads up the perlmonks thread and prints that post out
14:34:29 <vanila> the post containing his own quine haha
14:34:54 <ais523> at least it's not putting an EOF on the playfield
14:35:11 <b_jonas> I don't know of any online befunge interpreter
14:35:14 <b_jonas> or wait

14:47:59 <b_jonas> in befunge, could you use the g command to read the program?
14:47:59 <ais523> I had to add a bunch of trailing spaces because this Befunge interp puts EOF on the playfield for some reason
14:48:07 <ais523> b_jonas: yes, you could

14:48:45 <b_jonas> ok
14:49:02 <ais523> b_jonas: the shortest befunge quine on anagolf works like you suggest
14:49:13 <ais523> :0g:,%1+ and a NUL character, by flagitious
14:49:56 <b_jonas> ok wait, how does your quine work? doesn't befunge start at the top left corner going right? if so, the double quote puts it to string mode but how does it exit that?
14:49:59 <ais523> by the look of it, that relies on the program exiting upon mod-0, which probably counts as cheating
14:50:05 <ais523> b_jonas: the program wraps around
14:50:10 <b_jonas> ah
14:50:13 <ais523> that quote is both the start and end of the string

14:59:20 <b_jonas> right, you have to add that
14:59:54 <b_jonas> that's why ais has that 66*2- thing in his

15:00:04 <vanila> puts <<e*2,'e'

15:00:07 <vanila> how does this work?\
15:00:17 -!- skj3gg has joined.
15:00:23 <ais523> vanila: << is a heredoc
15:00:30 <vanila> Ah!
15:00:47 <ais523> oh good, I just trying to figure out how to explain what a heredoc was
15:00:53 <ais523> if you know already that makes things easier
15:01:15 <vanila> "There are a number of excellent quines in the Tcl wiki[2], the most useful for real-world programming probably the one that uses [info] to read the source of the currently running script"
15:01:25 <vanila> what real-world programming??
15:02:11 <vanila> join { {} \{ \} } { join { {} \{ \} } } this is cool
15:02:19 <vanila> very similar to the lis p one
15:04:26 <vanila> ais523, your befubnge quine reminds me of a mobius strip
15:04:54 <ais523> hmm, that's a good thing to be reminded of, really
15:05:02 <ais523> it is sort-of similar
15:07:17 <b_jonas> member(D,"200001010102010303"),I is D-47,nth(I,['''',',','member(D,"200001010102010303"),I is D-47,nth(I,[','],W),write(W),fail.'],W),write(W),fail.
15:07:23 <b_jonas> ^ that should work in prolog, modulo typos
15:07:27 <b_jonas> for some values of work
15:07:41 <vanila> neat :D
15:07:48 <vanila> youve ported the quineto J and prlog
15:07:54 <b_jonas> you might need to modify it so it starts and ends how you want (like, add a main predicate or something)
15:08:04 <b_jonas> vanila: actually, I'm quite sure the J quine was before the perl version
15:08:08 <ais523> b_jonas: that's very different from my approach
15:08:13 <ais523> I'm trying to do the data-structure approach
15:08:15 <ais523> rather than the literal approach
15:08:33 <b_jonas> ais523: I see
15:08:56 <b_jonas> vanila: if you wanted to be sure, you'd hvae to check the date in the edit history here: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Puzzles/Quine

16:01:08 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
16:01:10 <ais523> the hard part was to make it work both as a data-structure quine /and/ as a literal quine
16:01:45 <b_jonas> ais523: looking
16:01:52 <ais523> it constructs a data structure equivalent to its own definition, then outputs it and a full stop
16:02:13 -!- SopaXorzTaker has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
16:02:20 <ais523> actually I think I can golf this slightly
16:02:27 <int-e> sigh, footnotes in the middle of formulas should be forbidden.
16:02:33 <vanila> that is interesting! why does iy use asserta
16:02:52 <ais523> quine:-asserta(a((quine:-asserta(a(A,B)),a(C,D+E),a(D,E),numbervars(C),write(C),write(.)),A+B)),a(F,G+H),a(G,H),numbervars(F),write(F),write(.).
16:03:02 <ais523> the reason for asserta is that I needed to write it all as one predicate
16:03:14 <ais523> basically it's to make a local definition
16:03:16 <vanila> ohh
16:03:28 <ais523> it's basically just "let a(A,B) = … in"
16:03:38 <b_jonas> ais523: what's numbervars?
16:03:40 <ais523> I should probably retract it at the end to clean up
16:03:59 <ais523> and numbervars(),write() is GNU prolog for writing out a predicate with all its free variables named with letters in alphabetical order
16:04:02 <vanila> thats really cool!
16:04:10 <ais523> it ensure that the variable names used on the output are the same as on the input
16:04:18 <b_jonas> I see
16:04:20 <ais523> without it, the quine still works but the variable names might be different
16:06:14 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has left.
16:09:46 <b_jonas> ais523: I'm still trying to understand this
16:10:00 <vanila> a(F,G+H),a(G,H)
16:10:08 <vanila> i think thats the key bit
16:10:30 <ais523> yeah, that took me ages to figure out
16:12:17 <b_jonas> how does + even come into this?
16:12:27 <ais523> it's basically just cons
16:12:35 <ais523> /all/ Prolog operators are basically just cons
16:12:39 <ais523> until you try to pattern match on them
16:12:44 <b_jonas> sure
16:12:56 <ais523> I could have picked any binary operator, but + has a good precedence for making it readable
16:13:18 <vanila> i use - genrally
16:13:22 <vanila> A-B
16:13:30 <b_jonas> ah right, that's why you ad [D|E] before
16:13:32 <vanila> for diff lists
16:13:48 <ais523> yep, but | has an awful precedence for the purpose
16:15:14 <b_jonas> ah, tricky! you call a twice, and the second time unifies H with G+H
16:15:36 <ais523> yep
16:15:44 <ais523> Prolog is really hard to think about because the variable names change meanings all the time
16:15:48 <b_jonas> let me try to modify this
16:16:08 -!- SopaXorzTaker has joined.
16:17:08 -!- Tritonio has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
16:28:33 <b_jonas> ais523: that's a crazy quine. I think it's possible to write it without assert, but it would be much uglier and longer.
16:28:53 <ais523> I'd be interested in a non-asserting version
16:28:58 <ais523> the hard part is to get it all as a single predicate
16:29:13 <ais523> ooh, maybe you could do it with copy_term
16:29:15 * ais523 tries
16:29:25 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, you can emulate lambdas with copy_term
16:30:18 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
16:30:44 <b_jonas> basically you create an anonymous function like F=fun(body here,Param0,Param1), and then invoke it like (copy_term(F,fun(F0,argument here,other argument here)),F0),
16:31:08 <b_jonas> but I still don't really understand how you got this particular structure of this quine
16:35:29 <b_jonas> actually, you need a slightly more general representation if you want to allow bound variables in the anonymous functions
16:35:35 <b_jonas> I have some code for that 
16:39:16 <b_jonas> ais523: http://dpaste.com/13KEQM6
16:39:32 <b_jonas> ^ that shows how to represent anonymous functions that can be closed over variables
16:39:46 <b_jonas> so if it's closed on variables, those variables must not be copied, but the free variables are copied
16:39:57 <coppro> C++ is a pretty amazing esoteric language
16:40:05 <b_jonas> coppro: sure
16:40:43 <ais523> oh, I see, the reason we can't directly translate the original into copy_term
16:40:49 <ais523> is because the name 'a' is no longer an atom
16:41:08 <b_jonas> what? it's anonymous, there's no name for it
16:41:37 <ais523> yeah, exactly
16:42:22 <b_jonas> re-reading this stuff sure shows why I dislike prolog
16:42:43 <vanila> this isnt normal prolog
16:42:54 <b_jonas> why do you need such a crazy helper function to just be able to use anonymous functinos?
16:43:02 <vanila> you are programming haksell
16:43:11 <vanila> but running it in prolog interpreter
16:43:46 <b_jonas> vanila: it's more like standard ML in a prolog interpreter, but yes
16:44:35 <b_jonas> I don't use lazyness
16:45:09 <b_jonas> well, I use prolog lazyness, but haskell lazyness
16:45:34 <vanila> gthat said,
16:45:42 <vanila> minikanren embedded in scheme works really great
16:45:52 <vanila> because you can easily pass relations around as values and things
16:46:47 <b_jonas> but yeah, given that I wrote iota(N, L) :- unfoldr(lambda(arg(H, H, F), (H < N, F is H + 1)), 0, L). I can see why you think it's like haskell
16:47:06 <b_jonas> it would be easier to write iota directly, without anonymous functions and unfoldr, but this is more fun
16:50:04 <ais523> I think the world could do with a modern update to Prolog
16:50:17 <ais523> that has things like scope, better functional features, and the like
16:50:26 <ais523> Prolog doesn't even ship with map and fold
16:50:31 <b_jonas> ais523: isn't there such a thing called Mozart?
16:50:41 <ais523> hmm, I hope so
16:51:01 <b_jonas> which even has functional syntax so you don't need to assign every intermediate results to named variables when you don't want to

16:52:33 <b_jonas> vanila: link?
16:53:40 <b_jonas> ais523: but anyway, yes, that's why I wrote that library
16:53:45 <b_jonas> because prolog doesn't even have a map builtin
16:55:57 <vanila> id ont have a good link for it
16:56:12 <vanila> i leaerned it from the book
16:56:49 <b_jonas> if I'm writing arrays of four floats in a binary file and I'm using arrays where the first two floats have certain nan values (represented as 0xffc0c708, 0xffcf9846) as sentry records, does that mean I'm strange?
16:57:11 <b_jonas> I mean, I could store lengths instead of sentries, I don't know why I did it this way
16:57:55 <vanila> i think thats a great way to do it :D
16:58:03 <b_jonas> vanila: oh, is it another of those languages like standard ML where you have to buy the language standard to be able to prorgam?
16:58:16 <b_jonas> because it's not available freely
16:58:18 <vanila> standard ML is free!
16:58:30 <b_jonas> is it now? where do I get the standard for free?
16:58:33 <vanila> https://github.com/SMLFamily/The-Definition-of-Standard-ML
16:58:36 <b_jonas> there are free interpreters for sure
16:58:45 <b_jonas> oh great, since when is that?
16:58:49 <vanila> veryrecent
16:59:04 <b_jonas> wow
16:59:08 <b_jonas> thanks for telling me that
16:59:41 <b_jonas> are they releasing this because there's a more recent standard (possibly in the future, under preparatoin) that they want us to buy?
17:00:44 <ais523> possibly because they're being outcompeted by ocaml
17:01:12 <b_jonas> ais523: ah

21:23:44 <oren> I recognized the . at the beginninh
21:23:45 <b_jonas> still, ".i" is a give-away
21:23:50 <b_jonas> yes, that
21:25:25 <newsham> does it read backwards?  why does it "start" with dot?
21:25:42 <oren> th dot is a glottal stop iirc

23:07:47 <MDude> Johnny was a Chemist's Son would make a great special death screen, though.
23:07:49 <tswett> How can they make out detailed images, you ask?
23:07:58 <olsner> I remember the reason for the rule, but then I learnt the rule both backwards and forwards, so I don't know what you're supposed to do to avoid the acid splashing accident
23:08:27 <oren> add acid to water, and use a stirring stick to guide the stream
23:08:36 <MDude> Acid to watta, just like you outta.
23:08:37 <olsner> luckily I haven't had a reason to mix acid and water
23:08:56 <MDude> Not water to acid, that's stupid and placid.
23:09:13 <tswett> Simple. They have special organs which smell photons. The photons are focused by refractive elements.
23:09:26 <tswett> Of course, "placid" means "peaceful". (Right?)
23:09:27 <olsner> Water In Acid spells "wise" in swedish, so it sounds like that would be the rule :)
23:11:41 <oren> technically, making mixed drinks usually involves mixing acids with water
23:11:52 <oren> just not strong ones
23:11:58 <oerjan> olsner: syre og vann går an, men vann og syre er uhyre hth
23:12:00 <pikhq> Though *typically* you don't make mixed drinks with particularly dangerous acids.
23:12:09 <MDude> I meant lazy.
23:12:28 <oerjan> wait
23:12:32 <olsner> oerjan: mange takk
23:12:33 <oerjan> s/og/i/g
23:12:44 <pikhq> I guess unless you consider Coke. It's dilute, but Coke has phosphoric acid in it.
23:12:49 <pikhq> Which can be crazy dangerous.
23:13:08 <oren> Coca cola is a common part of mixed drink
23:13:33 <oren> so you should add coca cola to rum, not the other way round
23:13:50 -!- spiette has quit (Quit: :qa!).
23:14:11 <tswett> But the rule applies specifically to sulfuric acid, doesn't it?
23:14:26 <pikhq> It's true of most possibly-dangerous acids.
23:14:35 <pikhq> I think just more so of sulfuric.
23:14:46 -!- copumpkin has joined.
23:14:47 <oren> when i learned it we were using hydrochloric acid
23:15:37 <tswett> Now, suppose you dilute sulfuric acid to the point where it just has a mildly sour taste.
23:15:47 <tswett> How dangerous would it be to drink?
23:16:35 <tswett> Arright, I'm going to see if the definition of a topos allows you to define a topos in a topos.
23:17:00 <pikhq> I can't imagine it would be very good to drink. Sulfur is not particularly good in biology.
23:17:10 <oerjan> r.i.p. tswettception
23:18:22 <oren> I imagine hydrochloric acid would be safer
23:18:47 <oren> where does the chlorine in salt you eat go?
23:19:17 <tswett> Does it go into urine?
23:19:53 <tswett> I've read tiny bits about the medical significance of positive ions like sodium and potassium, but I don't know anything about the significance of chloride.
23:20:04 <tswett> Except that it's in stomach acid.
23:20:25 <pikhq> Chloride ions are apparently used in the kidneys.
23:20:51 <pikhq> And a few other random weird places.
23:21:16 <tswett> Yeah, but how do they exit the body?
23:21:33 <pikhq> Oh, huh. For instance it's used to balance the acidity of the blood.
23:21:48 <pikhq> Probably urine.
23:22:28 <pikhq> Actually definitely.
23:22:45 <tswett> Lessee. A topos is a category with all equalizers, all finite products, and all power objects?
23:23:23 <pikhq> So there you go. It's used in the body and excess is excreted in urine.
23:23:54 <int-e> tswett: apparently, sodium sulfate is not toxic, so the main danger of sulfuric acid should be its corrosiveness
23:24:04 <pikhq> Ah. Well then, there you go.
23:24:04 <oren> oh, duh silly me. stomach acid -is- HCl, so of course HCl would be safe to eat as long as it's not strong enough to burn
23:24:11 <zzo38> I am also believing patent is bad things. Maybe it may have been a bit useful much in the past, but these days it is very bad.
23:25:26 -!- Lymia has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
23:25:59 <tswett> Now, how would you define a "topos in a topos"...
23:26:57 <tswett> There'd have to be an object Ob which is the object of objects.
23:27:31 <tswett> Then what you want is a family Ar of objects indexed by Ob * Ob.
23:27:40 <tswett> Of course, Ob * Ob need not be a set.
23:28:33 <oerjan> i vaguely recall that sweat also contains salt
23:30:19 <oerjan> oh hm seems to be sodium but not chlorine
23:30:51 <olsner> hm, so sweating a lot will leave you with excess chlorine?

23:39:32 <zzo38> Is Unlicensed files OK on esolang wiki? Is WTFPL licensed files OK on esolang wiki? Unlicense is public domain too like CC0 is; I believe WTFPL is also effectively public domain, but I don't know what wiki administration would have you believe about such thing.
23:40:38 -!- contrapumpkin has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…).

23:43:52 -!- teuchter has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
23:43:56 <oerjan> zzo38: i'm guessing the problem might be that simple licenses like WTFPL won't successfully release as many rights as CC0 in all jurisdictions?
23:45:27 <oerjan> the secondary problem is that even if it does, it would take significant work from lawyers to clarify that it does
23:45:34 <zzo38> I believe it does allow you to relicense it under CC0 and treat it as if it is always CC0.
23:46:07 <oerjan> well if it says so explicitly it should be ok?
23:46:13 <oerjan> ->
23:46:48 <tswett> That would be an interesting copyright license: "You are permitted to release this work under any license."
23:46:48 <zzo38> Well, it just says that you "DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO"; they say that implies anything can be done, so that would include relicensing under CC0 like that
23:47:07 <zzo38> Or making it just public domain if that is legal in your jurisdiction
23:47:09 <tswett> It doesn't actually let you do much directly, but you could just give yourself a license to do whatever.
23:47:24 <tswett> Unfortunately, making things public domain is a felony in my jurisdiction.
23:47:27 <tswett> (NB: Just kidding.)
23:47:53 <zzo38> The only restriction is that modified version of the license itself cannot be called WTFPL.
23:48:40 <olsner> is there a discordian license?
23:48:56 <zzo38> Nevertheless it seems unlikely that any program licensed by WTFPL is one you would likely need to post on esolang wiki, but it is something that might happen.
23:49:17 <zzo38> olsner: I don't know. I think it is just public domain isn't it?
23:49:39 <MDude> You may use software under this license only if you disregard the terms of this license.
23:51:07 <olsner> You may release this work under any license except this license or any other license the work has previously been released under.
23:51:30 -!- Tritonio has joined.
23:52:14 <olsner> needs more work, it should require that the new license includes that clause or something sufficiently like it
23:52:44 <MDude> Step 1: Sells software usnder a closed source license with a "this licesne may be changed at time without notice" clause.
23:52:58 <MDude> Step 2: Wait for it to be sued widely among software developers.
23:53:09 <tswett> You may release this work under any license L as long as you can give a proof that L does not allow anyone to release the work under this license.
23:53:31 <MDude> Step 3: Without notice, change your license to make it so anyone using it needs to relase any software developed on the same comptuer to the public domain.
23:54:12 <olsner> tswett: only "this license"? not L too?
23:54:47 <tswett> "This license", yes.
23:55:13 <MDude> This license isn't indicate dto be L, though.
23:55:33 <tswett> "This license" is the license I just stated, not L.
23:55:49 <MDude> Yeah.

01:59:49 <dulla> how about using ZFC+

02:12:02 -!- dulla has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
02:15:36 -!- dulla has joined.
02:15:49 <tswett> Most of it is pretty straightforward.
02:16:09 <tswett> A topos in a topos consists of these objects, and these arrows with these commutative diagrams...
02:16:31 <oerjan> and then the universe explodes.
02:16:56 <tswett> And then all of a sudden one of the things you need isn't an object, or an arrow, or a commutative diagram.
02:17:18 <tswett> It's a frickin' mapping from this collection of arrows to that collection of arrows.
02:17:31 <oerjan> is this n-categorical
02:17:42 <tswett> Nope. It's just a topos.
02:18:09 <oerjan> well also that sounds like a functor.
02:19:06 <tswett> Kinda.
02:20:09 <dulla> then what is it
02:22:37 <tswett> Well, it's this: "An arrow EQ with certain properties. For all arrows M with the same properties, an arrow U with these other properties in relation to EQ and M."
02:24:25 -!- Lymia has joined.
02:29:11 -!- Sprocklem has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
02:30:57 <tswett> Ah, but topoi are cartesian closed.
02:31:46 <tswett> So that last thing is really just an arrow again. I think.
02:32:54 <tswett> M is an arrow A -> B and U is also an arrow A -> B, so this "for all arrows M with these properties, an arrow U with those properties" is really just a single arrow (A -> B) -> (A -> B).
02:33:00 <tswett> Except not quite.
02:34:36 <tswett> Because having A -> B as a codomain doesn't express the restrictions which M has.

21:29:14 <fizzie> Just so you know, fungot has arrived. But I still don't have any Internet here.
21:31:25 <ais523> so fungot is trying to connect to #esoteric but failing due to lack of internet?
21:31:44 <ais523> or, hmm, I think I misinterpreted you
21:33:18 <AndoDaan> fizzie, the innie and outie of your stament contradict each other.
21:34:43 <AndoDaan> Though, I read somewhere that a couple of guys developed an internet protocol for use with carriere pigeons. 
21:35:11 <fizzie> ais523: It's not trying to connect, I just meant that the physical hardware arrived.
21:35:35 <ais523> ah right
21:35:38 <ais523> I take it you're now in UKland?
21:35:45 <fizzie> Although I haven't even booted the box up, been too busy.
21:35:48 <fizzie> Yes.
21:35:53 <ais523> AndoDaan: IP over Avian Carrier is an RFC
21:36:09 <ais523> I further assume you're doing an ais523 and have borrowed Internet off someone, due to not having your own
21:36:16 <fizzie> IP over bongo drums is a thing too.

21:36:42 -!- skj3gg has joined.
21:37:04 <fizzie> I'm using a mobile thing. But it officially disallows tethering, so it's not suitable for fungotting.
21:37:49 <fizzie> I've ordered something more DSLy, but it might take a week or two more.
21:39:56 <fizzie> (This is Three's pay-as-you-go offering, because funnily enough you can't order a pay-monthly thing online without filling three years of address history, and the online form only accepts UK post codes.)
21:41:20 <fizzie> Still, they have a £15 "add-on" for 30 days of unlimited data, that's not too bad.
21:42:03 <ais523> 50p per day seem reasonable if you don't have another source of Internet access
21:42:17 <AndoDaan> Unlimited meaning limited, of course.
21:42:40 <fizzie> Plus they have this "feel at home" thing, which allegedly means I'll be able to use (25G/month or something) that data on my US visit, and also in Finland.
21:43:11 <fizzie> They have some traffic shaping thing, don't know about other limits.
21:43:19 -!- skj3gg_ has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
21:45:03 <fizzie> I still have a Finnish SIM too, but it's too big to fit in this phone.
21:45:25 <AndoDaan> I guess I could have access to unlimited funds, if I was only allowed to spend 15p a day.
21:46:56 -!- skj3gg_ has joined.
21:47:40 <fizzie> Back in Finland I used to use maybe 100-150M of mobile data per month, so the £10 "add-on" with 1G of data for 30 days might be plenty, after the home internet gets here.

21:56:58 <fizzie> It's against the "Terms & Conditions"; I don't know if they've tried (or managed) to actually prevent it.

22:07:57 <b_jonas> AndoDaan: sadly, IO over Acian Carrier can't be used directly, you'd need some sort of IRC proxy. The latency of IO over avian carriers is too high to use TCP, but luckily I think (I'm not sure) an IRC client connection could be implemented without TCP.
22:08:41 <fizzie> dulla: Sharing a phone's network connection to other devices.
22:09:10 <dulla> So abuse of the sim card and services?
22:09:14 <b_jonas> s/IO/IP/
22:09:45 -!- FreeFull has joined.
22:09:52 <ais523> dulla: not necessarily abuse, some providers allow it
22:09:58 <ais523> but most don't
22:10:20 <Vorpal> fizzie, hm? I didn't know they could limit you from tethering
22:10:32 <Vorpal> Thought that was a US ting only
22:10:47 <AndoDaan> Does irc make unique, idk, queries to people that are connected. Or could you fake a realtime connection?
22:10:47 <b_jonas> yes, some providers actually encourage it, as in, they're advertizing they allow sharing with multiple mobile devices in a more expansive package, to get more customers
22:10:54 <AndoDaan> Not sure If I'm making sense.
22:11:10 <Vorpal> tethering is allowed by default in Sweden
22:11:22 <Vorpal> At least that was how it worked a couple of years ago
22:11:23 <dulla> So more or less they are allowing Multi-Sim phones
22:11:24 <dulla> Or
22:11:35 <dulla> Non-phone sim usage
22:11:59 <b_jonas> AndoDaan: you could get away with a connection with a very high lag, you'd just need some slight changes.
22:12:46 <Vorpal> Hm this is a stupidly short USB cable to use for this
22:12:49 <Vorpal> It is like 7 cm
22:12:58 <fizzie> Vorpal: Three allows it for pay-monthly plans but not for pay-as-you-go.
22:13:01 <Vorpal> Was the only one I had on hand though
22:13:06 <Vorpal> fizzie, I see
22:13:08 <b_jonas> AndoDaan: basically, due to how IRC is planned to resolve conflicts after a netsplit (conflicts like nick collisions or different channel modes on different sides), it's something that could be modified to work between Earth and Mars
22:13:12 <b_jonas> unlike, you know, the web
22:13:20 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: buying food).
22:13:32 <dulla> Hum
22:13:54 <b_jonas> which does require flow control so you can't just flood the server on the other side by requesting lots of pages with a huge response (say large videos)
22:14:01 <dulla> All I know is that Nick Collisions end in n-lateral kicking
22:14:06 <b_jonas> it works even better if the servers are local to the clients
22:14:28 <b_jonas> so the server can kick your connection rightaway if you're flooding,
22:14:34 <dulla> how does it resolve chan modes, b_jonas 
22:14:45 <b_jonas> it's just that commands that go from the earth server to mars server or back will have lots of delays
22:14:54 <b_jonas> I'm not saying the softwares would work as is, but they could be modified
22:14:55 -!- Tritonio has joined.
22:15:11 <b_jonas> dulla: I'm not really sure, you'd have to ask on #freenode, but I think they compare timestamps and the earlier wins, or something like that
22:15:12 <dulla> high latency ain't bad
22:15:22 <dulla> ah
22:16:05 <b_jonas> dulla: it sure ain't bad, it's just that our current infrastructure (if you count the web or facebook, all encrypted and uncachable by proxies) doesn't work at all with high latencies
22:16:43 <dulla> Hmmm, at the very least, continuations could be helpful in high latency
22:16:46 <b_jonas> so basically you can't recruit laypeople for a Mars settlement mission because they won't be able to access websites unless the company who runs the particular website runs a server on Mars and manages the synchronization themselves
22:16:51 <dulla> But I know jack crap
22:17:19 <AndoDaan> Poor Mars One candidates.
22:17:51 <b_jonas> but maybe Facebook would put a server there and manage it somehow
22:17:55 <dulla> as far as synchronisation goes, let's get referential transparency as the norm for relational networks, yo
22:18:12 <b_jonas> and Youtube and whatever else
22:18:41 <dulla> For Youtube, segemented downloads
22:19:07 <b_jonas> (there might be also problems with bandwidth throughput too in the first few decades, but at least that doesn't come from a fundamental physical limitation that can't be overcome with slightly better infrastructure)
22:19:33 <b_jonas> dulla: no, for Youtube I think you really need a caching server on Mars
22:19:42 <b_jonas> which google could probably put there
22:19:48 <AndoDaan> Nah, FB and the like will be replaced by a company that treats the high latency as a feature, not a obsticle.
22:19:50 <dulla> Hum, I see what you mean
22:20:07 <fizzie> Oh, here's their definition of "unlimited": "All you can eat data gives you worry free internet use. Even if you used your phone for every minute of every day you could only use, subject to TrafficSense™, around 1000GB each month. We may use this cap to identify inappropriate use of the service, such as commercial use, which isn't permitted under our terms and conditions."

22:20:19 <dulla> Curious about the diferences between low-medium-high latency programs
22:20:53 <AndoDaan> Wow. That's a high cap and it's cool that they defined their unlimited limit.
22:21:19 <dulla> yep
22:21:41 <b_jonas> fizzie: so it's like the other unlimited services: it's unlimited but they terminate your subscription after the first month you use it too much
22:21:44 <dulla> A caching server to cache the requested videos
22:21:57 <dulla> at least you know the terms of service, b_jonas 
22:22:08 <dulla> still, high latency
22:22:11 <b_jonas> dulla: yes, or simply all videos as soon as they're uploaded, even before they're requested
22:22:37 -!- skj3gg has quit (Client Quit).
22:22:58 <dulla> Hmm
22:23:05 <dulla> That high latency, though
22:23:16 <b_jonas> and obviously it has to work backwards too, so all uploads from Mars are cached on Earth too
22:23:21 <dulla> I know medium latency is about 12 seconds, high is around at least a minute
22:23:37 <dulla> could use bitswap for caching
22:23:38 <b_jonas> dulla: but Mars is farther than that, right?

22:27:05 <Vorpal> <AndoDaan> Wow. That's a high cap and it's cool that they defined their unlimited limit. <-- 1 TB / month isn't that big
22:27:05 <Vorpal> Unless you have an additional connection
22:27:06 <Vorpal> I hit 150 GB / month on my tablet alone (wifi only)
22:27:07 <Vorpal> Mostly on 1080p youtube 
22:27:08 <Vorpal> Oh wait, in november I hit 172 GB
22:27:09 <Vorpal> According to the stats in Android
22:27:11 <Vorpal> And so far this month I hit 130 GB
22:27:12 <Vorpal> 118 GB of that on the youtube app
22:27:15 <Vorpal> AndoDaan, In a household where more than one person watches a lot of youtube you could easily hit a lot more than 1 TB / month
22:27:16 <Vorpal> Also wth the lag
22:27:21 <b_jonas> I mean, I don't want to go to Mars, but if enough people go, the effect might be good here on Earth too
22:27:24 <Vorpal> What the fuck was that..

22:28:14 <dulla> Don't need no McDonalds on mars
22:28:18 <b_jonas> dulla: Moon is easy, there's not much latency between the Earth and the Moon, current technology would just work
22:28:37 <b_jonas> satellite internet users can already handle that much latency
22:28:44 <Vorpal> b_jonas, well, you couldn't play CS GO from the moon
22:28:54 <b_jonas> ok, probably not that

22:29:56 <Vorpal> dulla, what do you mean with "stuff" and with "medium latency"

22:33:04 <dulla> more or less because it'd be stupid to tie block dictionaries, blocks, etc per file header

22:33:22 * dulla shrugs

22:33:42 <dulla> ipfs.io is the site, it has the whitepaper, if you are interested, Vorpal 
22:33:43 <Vorpal>  If the pattern of noise versus frequencies heard in the bins changes, the DSL modem can alter the bits-per-bin allocations, in a process called "bitswap", where bins that have become more noisy are only required to carry fewer bits and other channels will be chosen to be given a higher burden.
22:33:45 <Vorpal> Hm

23:53:56 <AndoDaan> I've written a PIG program.
23:54:07 <AndoDaan> Tourette's SyndromePIGMight be an interesting theme for an esoteric language.
23:56:27 <ais523> hmm, I am finding this page surprisingly amusing: http://www.minesweeper.info/wiki/Famous_Cheaters

2015-02-18:

00:07:07 <AndoDaan> Fascinating. 
00:07:42 <AndoDaan> Kinda want toplay minesweeper now.
00:08:01 <AndoDaan> ...And lookfor ways to cheat.
00:13:27 <ais523> the most infamous is the Dreamboard
00:13:52 <ais523> Windows 3.1 Minesweeper has only a limited number of possible boards
00:14:00 <ais523> that one is the easiest, and many players memorized it
00:14:14 <ais523> and there's huge debate about whether Dreamboard records count
00:14:30 <ais523> the problem being a) did they just reset until they got the Dreamboard; b) did they recognise it after a couple of moves
00:18:23 <AndoDaan> Hmm. Seems like arguing that trying to go forthe record invalidates the attempt.
00:18:25 <ais523> and which of those count
00:18:50 <ais523> here it is, btw: http://www.minesweeper.info/wiki/images/b/b3/Dreamboard-10-MattMcGinley-270601.jpg
00:20:05 <AndoDaan> The dreams of it is not immediately obvious to me.
00:20:17 <AndoDaan> Haven't played in years.
00:20:45 <AndoDaan> Edge bombs?
00:20:53 <AndoDaan> I mean, more of them?
00:21:00 <ais523> basically it's that all the mines are concentrated together, and you have islands of wide open areas, and islands of miens
00:21:02 <ais523> *mines
00:21:09 <ais523> meaning that solving the level requires fewer clicks than normal
00:21:21 <ais523> which is obviously desirable for a world record, especially if you have the layout memorized
00:22:32 <AndoDaan> Ah. They're looking to just clear the negative space as quickly as possible, ratherthan pinpointing bombms.
00:22:38 <ais523> yep
00:22:42 <ais523> because that's the win condition
00:23:23 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
00:23:29 <AndoDaan> I see it now. Near three vast expances.
00:23:40 <AndoDaan> *exspances.
00:24:02 <AndoDaan> nope, Idk how to expand on my spelling of 'expand'.
00:25:04 <ais523> "expanses" is the correct spelling, I think
00:25:14 <ais523> at least, my spellchecker likes it
00:25:29 <oerjan> ex-pants
00:30:48 <AndoDaan> Thanks. The spellcheck underline things is near invisible in HexChat.
00:30:52 <ais523> Minesweeper is np-complete, right? or was it pspace-complete?
00:31:00 <AndoDaan> np complete.
00:31:18 <AndoDaan> I remember that vaguely.
00:31:34 <dulla> np-complete?
00:31:36 <dulla> what?
00:32:01 <AndoDaan> I was just thinking if I was misremembering if it was turing complete or np complete.
00:32:10 <ais523> it can't be TC, it's only finitely large
00:32:24 <ais523> ah right, it can't be above NP because all moves are irreversible
00:32:49 <AndoDaan> Instantly evident to those who are not me. :)
00:32:49 <ais523> meaning that the number of moves is polynomial-time
00:32:57 <ais523> or, put it this way
00:33:56 <ais523> if you have a potential solution to a Minesweeper board
00:34:13 <ais523> you can check whether it's genuine simply by counting the number of mines around each number
00:34:29 <ais523> that means that minesweeper is at most NP
00:34:48 <ais523> proving that it's actually NP-complete is harder, ofc
00:35:29 <ais523> dulla: "NP-complete" is a little awkward to define, but intuitively, it means that given any puzzle for which a solution can be checked for correctness in polynomial time, there's some Minesweeper board that's equivalent to that puzzle
00:35:33 <AndoDaan> I think it was proof by equating it to an already established np complete problem.
00:35:54 <ais523> NP-completeness and PSPACE-completeness are two common ways to translate the notion of Turing-completeness down to finite programs
00:36:02 <AndoDaan> That's even more vaguely remembered. I'm gonna look it up.
00:39:44 <AndoDaan> Reduced from 3SAT, apparently.

00:43:24 -!- shikhin has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
00:43:27 <ais523> although when I proved the generalized RNG-reversing problem NP-complete, I used the subset sum problem
00:43:39 <ais523> *LCRNG-reversing
00:44:32 <oerjan> they should use planar 3-coloring more
00:44:41 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
00:46:04 <ais523> it doesn't translate too well to different genres of problem, I guess
00:46:26 <ais523> same reason that we show languages TC by implementing BCT or Brainfuck or Fractran, rather than INTERCAL
00:47:48 <AndoDaan> I'm working on lengthening the esointerpreter chain a bit, and that fact is really annoying.
00:48:13 <ais523> maybe I should work more on underlambda
00:48:27 <ais523> which might make esointerpreters obsolete, at least for the TC languages
00:48:42 <AndoDaan> Nearly got a kipple to MNNBFSL interpreter, but behind kipple it's OOP ork.
00:56:43 <ais523> is it just me, or is Pig a really awful language?

02:55:34 -!- Zefphex has joined.
03:02:43 <Zefphex> Mmm
03:16:07 <tswett> Ooh, I should create an "esoteric programming language" that's just an NP-complete problem.
03:16:40 <Zefphex> I should delete the internet
03:19:06 <ais523> that might be difficult, and a huge amount of valuable information would be lost
03:19:09 <ais523> I'd recommend against it
03:21:03 <Zefphex> DDOS the internets biggest servers
03:21:15 <Zefphex> And saturate them so they can't defend?
03:21:21 <Zefphex> Would that do it
03:21:27 <ais523> DDOSing works less well on large servers than small servers
03:21:36 <ais523> for reasons that should be obvious if you think about it
03:21:43 <Zefphex> Makes a DDOS machine
03:21:52 <pikhq> And the owners of some of them tend to have huge budgets.
03:22:06 <Zefphex> ddos's from the moon
03:22:18 <ais523> have you any idea how little bandwidth there is on the Moon?
03:22:30 <Zefphex> Very little
03:22:31 <pikhq> For instance, I imagine if your DDOS was enough of a threat Google could actually afford a gun DOS on your DDOS operation.
03:22:56 <Zefphex> what's a gun dos again
03:23:01 <ais523> (there is a communications satellite network around Mars, though; I don't know how much bandwidth it has for connecting with Earth)
03:23:04 <pikhq> That's where they shoot you.
03:23:10 <Zefphex> Meh
03:23:19 <Zefphex> comes back as a ghost
03:23:43 <ais523> I don't think Google would need assassinations to stop a DDOS
03:23:48 <Zefphex> now to haunt Google servers with large ammounts of lag
03:23:48 <ais523> but the right way to think about it is
03:24:04 <pikhq> No, but if that's what it would take *they probably could*.
03:24:08 <ais523> Google gets a huge number of Internet connections /anyway/
03:24:19 <Jafet> Google would just reroute the internet around your attack
03:24:20 <ais523> or, take Facebook
03:24:24 <pikhq> But yes, Google is practically running under a massive DDOS anyways.
03:24:38 <ais523> it's getting hammered by a large proportion of human Internet users at any given time
03:24:38 <Zefphex> Can't I just burn the buildings holding Google servers down
03:24:40 <pikhq> What most sites call "a DDOS" Google calls "Tuesday".
03:24:48 <Jafet> They do own a killer robot company now, so they could plausibly assassinate you if they wanted to
03:24:59 <Zefphex> lol well
03:25:13 <Zefphex> How would you go about ddosing the internet
03:25:16 <Zefphex> in theory
03:25:18 <ais523> I wouldn't
03:25:34 <Zefphex> 10^10^100 packets p/sec
03:26:04 <pikhq> I don't think there's enough electrons for that.
03:26:56 <ais523> technically you could use the same electrons for each packet
03:27:00 <Sgeo> The root zone servers don't actually see much traffic due to caching, right?
03:27:04 <ais523> and just shove them through the wires really fast
03:27:17 <Zefphex> faster than light
03:27:17 <ais523> Sgeo: yep, pretty much everyone knows where, say, the .com servers are anyway
03:27:22 <ais523> so they don't have to ask
03:27:37 <Zefphex> .onion
03:27:38 <ais523> they're probably seeing a bit more traffic now with all the weird suffixes ICANN opened up in their recent cash grab
03:27:39 <Sgeo> But on the other hand, DDOSing them might not be helpful for the same exact reason
03:27:41 <ais523> but probably not that much
03:27:51 <Sgeo> DDOS .com nses?
03:27:53 <pikhq> And the root zone servers are actually done pretty bizarrely as well...
03:28:09 <pikhq> Several hosts that share IP addresses, relying on how DNS is stateless.
03:28:51 <tswett> There's gotta be a theoretical maximum to how much information you can send through a wire.
03:29:12 <pikhq> There's nominally only, like, 6 root zone servers, but there's a few dozen servers that actually host the root zone.
03:29:53 <ais523> more than 6
03:29:58 <pikhq> Ah, 13.
03:30:02 <ais523> they're named after letters of the alphabet, so it has to be 26 or less
03:30:09 <ais523> but I'm pretty sure there's more than 6
03:30:12 <Zefphex> China is apparently ddosing Canada atm
03:30:21 <pikhq> There's 13.
03:30:23 <ais523> no, the Internet doesn't work like that
03:30:41 <ais523> what you mean is that some people in China are attempting to DDOS various targets within Canada, presumably with varying levels of success
03:30:46 <Sgeo> It may be possible for a country to totally disconnect another country
03:30:50 <pikhq> And all but 3 of them are nominally located in the US.
03:30:53 -!- skj3gg has joined.
03:30:54 <coppro> Google could possibly DDOS an entire country
03:30:58 <Sgeo> I think China could pull the plug on NK?
03:30:59 <Zefphex> ye
03:31:02 <Sgeo> But that's not DDOS
03:31:10 * Zefphex pets sgeo
03:31:14 <Zefphex> thanks
03:31:32 <Zefphex> Internet warfare would be scary
03:31:40 <Zefphex> But safer maybe
03:31:43 <Zefphex> No wait
03:31:53 <Sgeo> Zefphex: some country accidentally blocked YouTube for much of the Internet
03:31:57 <ais523> Sgeo: I assume there are internet connections directly between north korea and south korea
03:31:57 <Sgeo> Again not a DDOS
03:31:58 <ais523> although I'm not sure
03:32:02 <ais523> Sgeo: that was a DNS blackholing
03:32:22 <ais523> you claim to offer a shorter path to the site people are looking for, then discard the traffic
03:32:22 <Sgeo> Conclusion: The best way to attack the Internet is probably not DDOS
03:32:34 <Zefphex> Nuke Google HQ
03:32:43 <ais523> that only works because of other ASes trusting your routes, though
03:32:45 <pikhq> ais523: Probably, but it's also probably a pretty lightweight link.
03:32:54 <ais523> if you do that sort of thing too often, they stop trusting them
03:32:59 <Sgeo> Nuke the underwater cables!
03:33:14 <ais523> also, I'd like to point out that the entire original purpose of the Internet was to survive nuclear attack
03:33:35 <Sgeo> Does splitting in two temporarily count as surviving?
03:33:57 <Zefphex> yes
03:34:10 <ais523> but even then it's connected enough that splitting it in two is unlikely
03:34:49 <Zefphex> If a big country internet usage wise say Europe would take on US servers who would win?
03:35:17 <Zefphex> Also who wants to buy a copy of cs6
03:35:42 <ais523> it's not like a country magically owns all the internet connections inside it
03:35:56 <ais523> also europe isn't a country
03:36:01 <pikhq> Hard to say. It's not entirely meaningful to even speak of "a country's servers" really... Things are sufficiently international these days that damage to most any country, hurts most all countries.
03:36:36 <Zefphex> Can we just all vote
03:36:43 <pikhq> For instance, if China goes down the US is *hosed*.
03:36:44 <Zefphex> to destroy humanity
03:36:58 <Zefphex> Like just destroy it all
03:37:12 <Zefphex> Its a big fuck up for nature to have made humans
03:37:40 <Sgeo> http://www.vhemt.org/ ?
03:37:41 <Zefphex> All humans have a large potential to be evil and destroy
03:38:07 <Sgeo> (Note: My linking does not imply that I endorse the views expressed therein)
03:38:17 <Zefphex> Some painless way of vaporising every human on earth
03:39:55 <pikhq> Like... antimater?

04:52:31 <Sgeo> Can I just sleep through thirst?
04:52:53 <oerjan> depends how tired you are
04:53:09 <Sgeo> Not tired at all, I slept through do-not-need-to-deprive-myself-of-food-and-water time
04:53:46 <oerjan> did you wake up just when it was too late to eat and drink tdnh
04:53:54 <ais523> I manage 11 hours without water frequently, even when awake
04:54:11 <ais523> the only place to get bottles of water at 4:54 AM charges £1.40 for them, which is really excessive
04:54:15 <Sgeo> No, and drinking water right now during the 6 minutes I have left
04:54:47 <oerjan> if i don't drink before going to bed i tend to have chaffed lips when i awake
04:54:58 <Sgeo> I'm scared of sedation
04:55:50 <oerjan> ais523: birmingham doesn't have drinkable tap water?
04:55:57 <Sgeo> And of having a tube stuck down my throat
04:56:01 -!- MDude has changed nick to MDream.
04:56:17 <ais523> oerjan: it has excellent tap water, but the problem is finding a mains-connected tap and a container to drink from
04:56:36 <oerjan> dammit spilled coke on my sweater
04:56:52 * Sgeo tends to buy bottles of water just for the container
04:57:01 <Sgeo> At work I buy one a week, not sure if that''s particularly unsanitary
04:57:06 <oerjan> also t-shirt but that was going into the laundry soon anyway
04:57:07 <MDream> Is it an invasive prodecure?
04:57:18 <Sgeo> Then again, I may not be the best person to ask for advice on sane behavior
04:57:26 <Sgeo> MDream: are endoscopys considered invasive?
04:57:34 <Sgeo> It's a tube down my throat but I'm not being cut open
04:57:56 <MDream> I dunno.
04:58:31 <MDream> I got an MRI once, though, and it turns out I didn't actually need to be sedated since I was good at laying still on my own anyway.
04:58:50 <oerjan> ais523: so birmingham has a tap shortage?
04:58:55 <MDream> I of course found this out after going several hours without eating.
04:59:08 <Sgeo> Wait, not eating is for sedation?
04:59:17 <ais523> oerjan: well taps tend to be confined to residential houses and food preparation areas
04:59:19 <Sgeo> I thought it was to not vomit while there's a tube in my throat
04:59:22 <oerjan> i simply cannot imagine anywhere in norway where it's further to a tap than to a shop
04:59:25 <MDream> But I would imagine they don't want to risk you gagging on the endoscoping camera.
04:59:33 <ais523> and toilets, which are plentiful, but which I don't really want to drink from
05:00:32 <MDream> Possibly that too, but also so the sedatives don't make you release an absolutely gigantic bowel movement as easily.
05:01:49 <oerjan> ok i guess _inside_ a shopping center.

05:02:53 <MDream> I would like to carry cleaning equipment with me to areas with water fountains.
05:03:26 <ais523> oerjan: oh, the shops aren't open at 5am
05:03:40 <ais523> the massively overpriced water comes from a small vending machine about 10m from here
05:03:43 <MDream> Because there is one gym I'd visit every few years for some reason or another.
05:04:08 <ais523> when the shops are open, I can by a 2 litre bottle of sparkling or still water for 50p, which is much better value
05:04:11 <MDream> And there was a water fountain that has a single distinctive booger hanging on it for most of those several years.
05:04:18 <ais523> (again, the price is mostly for the container, I think)
05:04:18 <MDream> No once thouching it, no one cleaning.
05:04:36 <ais523> actually, it's a pity that the ASDA isn't near here: they literally sell bottles of tap water for like 15p
05:06:15 <oerjan> also i distinctly recalling having a cup when i was at university.
05:06:36 <oerjan> well more than one.
05:06:53 <oerjan> the one with the nice math on it broke when i was washing it ):
05:06:54 <ais523> part of my problem is I have nowhere to store things, really
05:07:07 <oerjan> ah

08:43:08 <dulla> You can thank Maryland for that
08:45:00 <oren> The way people bring politics into science is a problem, but not a new one. In my father's day there was "Lysenkoism" and "communist science"
08:45:46 <dulla> Well, this is the information age
08:46:06 <dulla> There is too much opinion, and not enough fact to dissuade all these new age peddlers
08:47:17 <oren> dulla: That has always been the case. Those who print the textbooks and newspapers have the power to mold the perception of reality.
08:47:44 <dulla> And business weekly came out with unsurprising figures about the most generous donors to media
08:48:06 <dulla> not sure about academia, but the liberalism there is far from classical, neo-, rather
08:48:37 <oren> dulla: but for the first time in history, it is practically free to post your opinion to the entire world.
08:49:18 <dulla> bit late, but at zero marginal cost it's a terrible supply side
08:52:58 <oren> This level of marginal cost means that opinions are in heavy competition, and it is possible for someone to read news exclusively tailored to their views.

12:44:49 <mroman> Haskell *is* an esoteric language

13:25:26 <mroman> but the newest dev version is around 380 :)
13:25:57 <AndoDaan> Bloody hell.
13:26:46 <mroman> P~ is more or less just a LISP dialect
13:27:01 <mroman> I can give you lots of example code
13:27:20 <AndoDaan> What sets it apart from LISP?
13:28:10 <mroman> http://codepad.org/tUx6pq4G

13:30:19 <mroman> No let*, no set* 
13:30:21 <mroman> no lambda
13:30:35 <mroman> that's probably what sets it apart the most.
13:32:03 <int-e> TIL that proving the Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorem becomes really hard if you mix up the definitions of least and post fixed points :P [for some reason, the least element of a complete lattics is not a fixed point of most monotone functions...]
13:32:31 <mroman> It has good multithreading built-in
13:32:42 <mroman> don't know what LISP has to offer there but I'm sure LISP has multithreading too
13:33:06 <mroman> just think of it as yet another LISP dialect

17:01:22 <vanila>  next Lisp ??
17:01:52 <vanila> a guy in #scheme is writing a nice js one which runs in a abrowser
17:02:17 <J_Arcane> Well, I already wrote Heresy.
17:02:49 <coppro> vanila: HTTP/2 has a lot of cool things. Most importantly, it allows all content needed from a server to be served over a single connection
17:03:03 <vanila> ok coppro 
17:03:12 <coppro> so for instance, if you visit a page with lots of images, all the images would be sent as requested, rather that negotiating separate connections for each one
17:03:13 <vanila> that's definitely an improvement
17:04:08 <coppro> and unlike existing pipelining, it doesn't rely on a specific order of content
17:04:18 <coppro> so the server can respond to the requests in whatever order it wants
17:04:29 <vanila> coppro, the web make me sad though
17:04:51 <J_Arcane> Right now though I think I want to write a basic string-format function for Heresy.
17:05:13 <fizzie> HTTP/2: so SPDY.
17:06:15 <J_Arcane> I kinda wish Heresy had a Haskell style 'show'. It would be a lot easier to write said string-formatter.
17:06:36 <vanila> well why dont you add it
17:06:48 <J_Arcane> I should. It's a good idea.
17:06:54 <pikhq> I look forward to the end of sharding.
17:06:59 <vanila> i guess its tricky to copy typeclasses
17:07:07 <vanila> but you can dynamically dispatch to show
17:07:43 <J_Arcane> Yeah, I probably won't go that far. But a simple (show ...) or (str ...) function that turns most arguments into their string representation should be good.

17:29:28 <vanila> oh yeah?
17:32:03 <J_Arcane> Hmm. what char to use for the templat value signal.
17:34:58 <J_Arcane> Lisp tradition tends to use ~, C tradition is %, and the BASIC standard (seldom implemented) is #.
17:35:24 <J_Arcane> I also thought of using _, just because it seemed like a value less likely to be needed as a regular character.
17:35:33 <MDude> Hmm, I thought I had something bookmarked.

17:56:09 <MDude> So, to start with you'd have a learning bot that tries to mimmic visitors, but it'd pick up dumb stuff from people messing with it.
17:57:18 <MDude> But if you had a non-learning chatbot trained to just paraphrase anything said to it politely, you could use it to filte anything said to the first bot.
17:57:56 <dulla> That'd put heavy weight on the filter
17:58:05 <MDude> So the pair of bots as a network would appear as one bot that sort of mimmics people, but tries to sound polite.
17:58:33 <dulla> Hum
17:58:50 <dulla> If you find that Gsome reek logic thing
17:58:55 <dulla> send it to me
17:59:47 <J_Arcane> Wee! That was as easy as I expected. 
18:00:17 <dulla> ?
18:00:17 <MDude> That's just whatever it is where categories of thigns are descriped as "all x are y", "some x are y", "not all x are y", and "no x are y".
18:00:44 <MDude> And I think is used in the type of argument that involves two postulates and one conclusion?
18:00:55 <dulla> ???
18:00:59 <J_Arcane> Wrote my first version of a string formatter.

19:56:52 <MDude> I've been working on http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=http://mdude1350.webs.com/generators/random-code/IBNIZ-basic-generator.txt
19:59:19 <dulla> ?
20:00:53 <MDude> It produces random texts which, most of the time, are syntactically valid IBNIZ programs.
20:00:55 <vanila> ahh
20:00:55 <vanila> neat
20:01:56 -!- perrier has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
20:02:07 <MDude> Mostly I'm trying to reduce the probability of boring programs without making the results too predetermined.
20:02:26 <dulla> So you are making completely random ones?
20:02:42 <dulla> also, I have 1.7e21 heavenly chips
20:02:45 <MDude> That's what I'm trying to do.
20:03:31 <MDude> http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=http://mdude1350.webs.com/generators/random-code/IBNIZ-simple-generator.txt
20:03:46 <MDude> This is a earlier version of it.
20:04:07 <MDude> The thing is, I want to avoid stuff like adding a number only to immediately pop it.
20:04:41 <MDude> Or putting two constants in and doing an operation that just makes a third constant.
20:04:43 -!- Patashu has joined.
20:05:04 <MDude> Since that just uses up space.
20:05:11 <MDude> So I want them to be random, but terse.
20:05:36 <MDude> The other is that adding commands completely randomly causes stack over and underflows.
20:06:12 <MDude> So at first, I was just trying to string together commands that added up to a net change of zero to the number of items in the stack.
20:06:50 <MDude> But that can still cause underflows early in the program depending on what order things end up in.
20:07:31 -!- skj3gg has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
20:08:42 <MDude> It'd be easier to made random programs in a language that groups with parentheses, I think.
20:08:56 <MDude> Or at least has a BNF definition written up.

23:27:13 <lambdabot> fizzie said 10h 3m 56s ago: I do not have information of fungot's migration route. Although I could compute a lower bound.
23:27:22 <oerjan> fizzie: fiendish
23:27:27 <dulla> ??
23:28:01 <oerjan> looks down
23:28:05 <AndoDaan> Hi. Some Guy here.
23:28:08 <oerjan> i am not someone who can fix it.
23:28:22 <oerjan> also, may i recommend downforeveryoneorjustme
23:28:24 <dulla> Should we call in Stallman?
23:28:35 <oerjan> no, fizzie or Gregor 
23:28:58 <oerjan> sadly they both look idle
23:29:17 <dulla> fizzie  are terrorists attacking your servers? You may need to do something about it
23:29:42 <oerjan> dulla: the server is known to be crap, it's free hosting.
23:29:55 <oerjan> so outages are to be expected.
23:30:08 <oerjan> @echo hi

23:30:11 <oerjan> oops
23:30:14 <oerjan> `echo hi
23:30:30 <oerjan> oh HackEgo isn't even here
23:30:42 <oerjan> it's likely the server is physically down, then.
23:30:49 <dulla> fizzie  rescind that previous statment, did a stiff breeze cause the servers to reformat?
23:31:18 <oerjan> dulla: fizzie is likely to be asleep, he's in britain and has a job...
23:31:27 <oerjan> and has been idle for 5 hours
23:31:45 <oerjan> Gregor has also been idle for 5 hours, but is normally in canada these days
23:32:20 <dulla> site admins that sleep
23:32:36 <dulla> scratch that, site admins that are awake
23:32:52 <AndoDaan> Okay. Thanks for the downforeveryone... tip. Didn't know about  that. Handy.
23:33:06 <oerjan> unfortunately there are only those two that can access the server as opposed to just the wiki.
23:33:14 <oerjan> and for _some_ things, only Gregor can.
23:33:49 <oerjan> yep, it's nifty

01:17:31 <MDude> And other parts would know that such exceptions are possible, as oppossed to if it was "all" or "none".

12:49:59 <b_jonas> these fast convolution algorithms (various kinds of fast fourier transforms on various types of elements, plus the Nussbaumer convolution algorithm) are magical, and I think I should try to understand them at least a little.
12:50:10 <b_jonas> I probably won't fully understand them, but I should try to understand them partially.
12:55:35 <int-e> b_jonas: are you familiar with polynomial rings?
12:59:57 <int-e> If so, http://cr.yp.to/papers.html#m3 is a very terse but uniform description of various tricks surrounding fast multiplication (including FFT).
13:02:32 <b_jonas> int-e: there's also the Cormen-Leiserson-Rivest-Stein book which gives a nice description
13:02:36 <b_jonas> (and Knuth of course)
13:03:20 <b_jonas> thanks for the reference 
13:07:38 <b_jonas> in particular, I'd like to understand whether fourier transforms on real or complex numbers (whether approximated with fixed point or floating point) are really always more useful for convolution than ones on finite fields (called "number theoretic transforms" for some reason), or just more popular.
13:07:49 <b_jonas> But I might not be able to answer this.

13:19:47 <int-e> b_jonas: as a data point, https://gmplib.org/repo/gmp-6.0/file/2ff56d3c5dfe/mpn/generic/mul_fft.c does FFT modulo various 2^N+1 (note that for normal FFT's, you need 2 to be invertible, and a suitable root of unity; you don't actually need a field.)
13:20:58 <b_jonas> int-e: I see
13:21:38 <int-e> The existence of the root is ensured by making N divisible by a large enough power of 2. (If N = 2^k l, then 2^l is a 2^(k+1)-th root of unity modulo 2^N+1)
13:23:38 <b_jonas> int-e: I think I can see the basic problem, namely that for many practical applications, you'd have to use a 32-bit integer to represent an element of the field, but then to do four multiplication in that field, you need not one instructions, but like ten: you need two separate 32-bit-to-64-bit multiplications, some rearrangements, then two 32-bit-to-32-bit multiplications and lots of extra instructions to do the modulus by a constant.
13:25:02 <int-e> Yes, finite fields are a bit awkward. :)
13:26:17 <int-e> Intel is doing something about that for small GF(2^k) at least: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLMUL_instruction_set
13:26:24 <b_jonas> with real numbers, these smart modern algorithms avoid _most_ of the penalty of having to use complexes rather than reals, and you just have to use single multiplications with reals, or a few instructions with reals.
13:27:17 <b_jonas> int-e: that's for cryptography, but is GF(2^k) relevant for convolutions? I thought you need a field with characteristic at least as large as the size of data in my input and output,
13:27:30 <int-e> b_jonas: the modulo 2^N+1 thing is really quite clever: Multiplying by the root of unity is a shift (or perhaps just an offset for addresses) and reduction moduloy 2^N+1 is basically one subtraction.
13:27:43 <b_jonas> eg. if I want to convolve image data with 8-bit deep pixels, I need at least 16 bit deep data, in fact more because you have to add logarithm of the array size.
13:27:56 <int-e> b_jonas: probably not :)
13:28:49 <b_jonas> I know you said you don't really need a field, but still, I don't see how GF(2^k) would work here
13:30:40 <int-e> b_jonas: I'm a victim of free association :P
13:32:19 <int-e> b_jonas: Perhaps one can implement multiplication over fields of order 2^(kn).
13:32:40 <int-e> But mostly it just doesn't work. (You can't even use the base 2 FFTs, because 2 = 0)
13:45:39 <Jafet> A cute use for FFT is string searching with single-letter wildcards.
13:47:27 <Jafet> Some people (such as GMP developers) prefer finite fields because they don't want to deal with floating point rounding.

13:52:46 <Jafet> (or finite-field-like-rings)
13:52:57 <Jafet> `thanks rings
13:53:20 <b_jonas> Jafet: it needn't be floating point. you can represent the complexes with fixed point numbers. the Knuth book explains how that's supposed to be enough to work for Schonhage-Strassen integer multiplication.
13:53:31 <int-e> Jafet: they're only using that for really large numbers; the smallest N for i386 is 464, which has to be multiplied be approximately 32, I guess.
13:54:03 <int-e> (to get a number of bits)
13:54:04 <Jafet> You still need to consider rounding for fixed-point numbers.
13:54:10 <b_jonas> int-e: yes, because there's other algorithms to multiply integers
13:54:12 <b_jonas> hmm, I wonder
13:54:18 <int-e> Hmm. "sufficiently field-like rings".
13:54:57 <b_jonas> are there also simple algorithms to convolve polynomials that aren't O(n*polylog(n)) operations like FFT-based ones, but instead just O(n**p) where p is between 1 and 2?
13:55:20 <b_jonas> probably there are, analogous to integer multiplication
13:55:49 <int-e> b_jonas: But you're probably right that there's no floating point FFT in libgmp. At least I don't recall seeing one.
13:56:16 <b_jonas> the question is whether these can be faster than FFT stuff in reality 
13:56:28 <b_jonas> maybe they can, I should try to read up on that
13:59:11 <int-e> b_jonas: sure; the integer multiplications are implemented as polynomial multiplications after all. So the Karatsuba trick is: (ax + b)(cx + d) = ac x^2 + ((a+b)(c+d) - ac - bd) x + bd
13:59:48 <b_jonas> int-e: right, the question is how fast that could be for the kind of operations I'm interested in
14:00:22 <b_jonas> most likely, you still can't get away with only 16-bit multiplications, even if the input is only 8 bits in size
14:00:43 <b_jonas> so you need 32 bits for all intermediate results
14:00:54 <int-e> b_jonas: what kind of platform are you targeting?
14:01:22 <int-e> (32 bit arithmetic doesn't scare me)
14:01:40 <b_jonas> int-e: let's say modern x86_64 cpus with SSE4_1 instructions and a decent cache, so 32 bit arithmetic is available, it's just more expensive than 16 bit one
14:01:47 <b_jonas> because you need twice the memory
14:02:28 <b_jonas> but of course I'd like to know a bit in general, not just answers for this
14:03:00 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
14:04:00 <b_jonas> it may matter a lot about the speed how the intermediate results fit in the caches
14:05:10 <b_jonas> and of course it matters whether I'm doing merely 1D convolution or 2D
14:05:13 <int-e> have you mentioned the degree of the involved polynomials?
14:05:13 <Jafet> Since the convolution algorithms don't use division, it doesn't matter what the register size is, you should still get the remainder of the correct result (for integer polynomials)
14:05:46 <int-e> I gathered that the coefficients are 8 bit numbers (unsigned? signed? it probably doesn't matter much.)
14:06:27 <b_jonas> Jafet: yes, but even then, the final results in each digit is the sum of n multiplications of two 8-bit resutls, where n is oyur array size, whcih is still more than 16 bits
14:06:33 <b_jonas> Jafet: so no
14:07:01 <b_jonas> int-e: 8 bit unsigned, but I'm also interested in cases where you want more precision than that
14:07:29 <int-e> b_jonas: I don't know how you're hoping to fit the final result into 16 bits in the first place.
14:07:30 <b_jonas> and I'm thinking mostly of degrees up to 2048
14:07:33 <Jafet> In that case, you need more than 16 bits to store the result no matter what algorithm is used.
14:07:46 <b_jonas> int-e: yes, even the final result doesn't fit
14:07:52 <b_jonas> pity
14:09:08 <int-e> 28 bits, hmm. that's tight.
14:09:32 <Jafet> Another cute thing about the FFT mod 2^N+1 is that it always gives you the correct result mod 2^N+1, which is useful for people playing with Fermat numbers.

16:45:24 <Koen_> apparently they agreed the complexity was n
16:45:28 <int-e> cpressey: they produce böhm trees without bottoms. that's nice.
16:45:52 <int-e> (in the limit, of course)
16:46:12 <elliott> cpressey: well, the distinguishing property of codata is productivity; you don't consider the fully unrolled trees, but only what you get after "one step"
16:46:28 <int-e> > [1..] -- and initial segments can be computed in finite time
16:46:30 <lambdabot>  [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,...
16:46:43 <int-e> (that is productivity)
16:46:47 <elliott> "looking further" is considered an explicit operation rather than something you can ascribe to the result in the abstract
16:47:23 <Koen_> so if you try to "observe" it you're disturbing it? sounds quantic
16:47:32 <int-e> elliott: that's pretty lazy :)
16:47:36 <elliott> if you have "f : A -> Colist B", you know that (f x) is always something, you can look at as much of it as you want
16:47:42 <elliott> (whereas in Haskell it could bomb out)
16:48:22 <int-e> > filter odd [2,4..]
16:48:25 <cpressey> elliott: that grates against my idea of "total".  w.r.t. how "total" is used in computability, anyway.  *how do you know how much of it you want*
16:48:26 <lambdabot>  mueval-core: Time limit exceeded
16:48:27 <elliott> cpressey: an alternative way of thinking about it is that functions are codata too. (Nat -> A) is exactly the same as (Colist A), and it's still "total" because we can look at as many "elements" as we want, even if the tree of them is infinitely deep
16:49:00 <b_jonas> cpressey: it's funny how people still try to invent total turing complete languages
16:49:34 <elliott> cpressey: er, Stream A.
16:49:37 <cpressey> b_jonas: https://github.com/wouter-swierstra/
16:49:38 <elliott> Colist can end.
16:49:59 <cpressey> sorry, wrong url
16:49:59 <int-e> codata allows that. the non-termination comes from trying to write a codata structure (like a stream) out completely.
16:50:02 <elliott> Colist A would be, like, {f : Nat -> Maybe A | forall i, isNothing (f i) -> forall j, j >= i -> isNothing (f j)}.
16:50:31 <elliott> you can probably come up with a function type for, like, potentially infinite binary trees too, it'll just be annoying. this gets kinda domain theory-ish
16:50:33 <cpressey> https://github.com/wouter-swierstra/Brainfuck/ and my inquiry https://github.com/wouter-swierstra/Brainfuck/issues/1
16:51:06 <elliott> like, you can do Partial A as {f : Nat -> Maybe A | forall i j, i >= j -> f i >= f j}, where Just >= Just, Just >= Nothing, Nothing >= Nothing
16:51:19 <cpressey> afaict the author wrote this to demonstrate that you can have something which is both total and Turing-complete
16:51:55 <cpressey> which may be true, for his definition of total -- but it's hard to fit it into my idea of total.
16:51:57 <int-e> "A system is total iff it always produces a final result." <-- but the totality refers to functions whose codomain can be codata.
16:52:01 <elliott> my definition of "total functional programming" is just that every function is total
16:52:05 <elliott> not considering it as a global property
16:52:18 <cpressey> int-e: right.  and to me, an infinite list is not a final result
16:52:28 <elliott> cpressey: let's put it this way -- it's the same argument as haskell being pure
16:52:37 <elliott> from the point of view of running a haskell program, obviously it's not
16:52:42 <elliott> the trick is you have an RTS to walk the pure results
16:52:55 <elliott> er, *the pure descriptions of effects
16:52:58 <elliott> here, you have [something] to walk the brainfuck execution trail
16:53:10 <int-e> (This is closing a circle. In math, it's perfectly clear what a total function is. If you consider functions on natural numbers, then that notion happens to conicide with terminating functions on a Turing machine. But *defining* totality through termination is wrong once infinite data is involved.)
16:53:15 <elliott> (Agda's IO is actually codata, so you can write a full Agda brainfuck interpreter and have the RTS chase the codata for you, potentially forever.)
16:53:26 <int-e> (I'm *very* sloppy)
16:54:19 <int-e> (what I mean is that total, partial recursive functions on naturals are terminating)

16:55:40 <cpressey> I will probably just stop using the term "total", honestly.
16:56:40 <elliott> I mean, totality in this sense is still a good guarantee.
16:56:49 <int-e> As I wrote, it's a perfectly sensible term for saying that a partial function, is, in fact, nowhere undefined.
16:56:51 <elliott> you know your programs won't get "stuck"
16:56:57 <cpressey> int-e: well yes
16:56:58 <cpressey> ok look

16:57:13 <cpressey> i can barely talk to one of you at once
16:57:15 <elliott> (though of course if you just go back and model general recursion again you don't gain anything from the internal POV)x
16:57:18 <elliott> heh

16:58:13 <MDude> Often the limit as to how many computation steps a computer can afford to take invloves factors beyond the architecture of the computer itself.
16:59:11 <Koen_> heat comes to mind
16:59:51 <cpressey> I'm going to at least stop using "total" to describe Turing machines that always halt (sorry Kozen), because if you want to look at it as *each transition* of the TM, with the *option* to GET the next transition, well then of COURSE each transition terminates.
16:59:55 <cpressey> it's not helpful.
17:00:09 <cpressey> (to look at it that way.  at least, not to me.)
17:00:13 <MDude> Until zeno machines exist, I'm not too worried about the contradictions that might happen if my turing machines runs an infinite amount of time.
17:00:39 <elliott> I guess this use of "total" to describe languages comes from Turner's Total Functional Programming, as the obvious generalisation of talking about writing total functions.
17:00:50 <MDude> *run
17:01:03 <cpressey> elliott: yes.  linked to in that github issue.  i read it (mostly).  some parts i like.  others, not so much
17:01:51 <cpressey> like... you can't write a self-interpreter in this... but you are thinking you might write an operating system in it?  really?
17:02:01 <MDude> Well, it is distinct from a machine that could get stuck infinitely trying to proccess one command.
17:03:39 <cpressey> MDude: I'm a bit "worried" about such contradictions, but they don't keep me up at night.
17:03:45 <elliott> I mean, you can write a self-interpreter in a way.
17:03:53 <elliott> you can't write ProgramWithType A -> A.
17:03:54 -!- oren has joined.
17:03:55 <MDude> I guess you could call such mcachines micricode-total.
17:04:01 <elliott> but you can write ProgramWithType -> Partial A, with the codata partiality monad.
17:04:01 <MDude> *microcode-total.
17:04:11 <MDude> Or just micro-total.
17:04:30 <elliott> you can write the computation internally (like you can model IO in Haskell), you just can't prove that it actually always finishes, because Goedel.
17:04:52 <elliott> I think that paper defines 0 / 0 = 0 instead of doing something reasonable though. and probably doesn't cover codata or dependent types? I wouldn't want to program in "Haskell with a termination checker"
17:04:56 <cpressey> elliott: partiality monad in a total functional language, is that right?
17:05:08 <elliott> cpressey: like IO monad in a pure functional language, sure

17:05:34 <elliott> you can define it easily with a normal codata mechanism, even prove things terminate and so on
17:05:48 <cpressey> a.k.a. oxymoron
17:05:50 <elliott> if you haven RTS that will chase it forever, you can use it to write any potentially non-terminating program you want, like that brainfuck interpreter does
17:06:35 <ais523> ooh, cpressey is here?
17:06:40 <cpressey> ais523: no
17:06:42 <ais523> that might be enough to make me pay attention to the channle
17:06:43 <cpressey> ais523: I'm Phantom_Hoover 
17:06:45 <ais523> ah right
17:06:46 <elliott> cpressey: you can define the partiality monad regardless of language support for doing things for it. it's like saying the ability to define "data MyIO = GetChar (Char -> MyIO) | PutChar Char MyIO | Halt" makes Haskell an impure language *shrug*
17:06:48 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: eat that
17:07:01 <Phantom_Hoover> i'm cool with it, i'm actually aloril
17:11:43 <cpressey> having a total function from partial objects to partial objects is nice.  i'm not contesting that.  i'm trying to say that it doesn't tell you much about the properties of the program that uses them.  and that's really the important part, isn't it
17:11:47 <cpressey> ?
17:12:18 <elliott> I don't personally see, e.g. (Colist Nat) as a partial object
17:12:23 <elliott> this is really deep into definition-arguing though
17:12:52 <elliott> like, I can't see any way to claim (f : Colist A -> Colist B) can't be total without claiming (f : (Nat -> A) -> (Nat -> B)) can't be total, since the two are exactly isomorphic.
17:13:35 <elliott> erm. *Stream for Colist there (sigh)
17:13:56 * cpressey sobs
17:14:07 * elliott too old for this

17:19:12 <cpressey> elliott: would learning about corecursion help me with my consternation here, or should I just give up?  keep in mind that my understanding of monads is, after all these years, still fuzzy, at best
17:20:07 <elliott> cpressey: it might, yes, but you might still just come down to not liking how the terminology is used
17:20:20 <elliott> I don't know of a good introduction to codata though
17:20:32 <elliott> http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/free-rectypes/free-rectypes.txt is classic, at least
17:20:38 <cpressey> isn't codata just the subject of corecursion?
17:20:44 <elliott> but, uh, pretty technical
17:20:46 <elliott> cpressey: sure
17:21:22 <cpressey> i confess, there's another angle i'm interesting in corecursion for
17:21:39 <elliott> the two-sentence explanation is "data is easy to produce but you have to consume it carefully (i.e., structural recursion)", "codata is easy to consume but you have to produce it carefully (i.e., "guarded" corecursion; making sure you're "productive")"
17:21:42 <cpressey> /ing/ed/
17:21:45 <elliott> corresponding to folds and unfolds specifically. blah blah blah F-coalgebras
17:21:57 <cpressey> right ok sure
17:22:41 <elliott> I'm sorry for getting into a terminology argument, anyway. I really don't care about it, heh
17:23:24 <elliott> I do think "languages where every function is total and your data recursion is structural and your only infinite data is properly guarded codata are useless for doing actual things, because they're not TC" is too prevalent an attitude but people should stop equating general usefulness with TCness anyway
17:23:44 <cpressey> I agree wholeheartedly with that

17:25:04 <cpressey> btw, I think I saw an article on HN about HTML+CSS3 being TC -- it came back from an unrelated search & I did not click on it but ISTR there was some discussion on that at one point in here

17:27:28 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
17:27:42 <Phantom__Hoover> i've had some really frustrating conversations with people who can't accept that the human brain isn't TC
17:28:19 <ais523> I think you need to talk about things like quantum uncertainty to prove it isn't, though
17:28:30 <ais523> human brain is analog in time, and you can store an infinite amount in a single real number
17:28:33 <cpressey> I think we need about 8 more words that are variations on TC
17:28:37 <ais523> but you can prove that it can't measure a time delay accurately enough
17:29:00 <cpressey> even then, maybe it's just pointless
17:29:03 <ais523> cpressey: well I've been thinking a lot about how to define TCness because of the 2,3 Turing machine thing
17:29:31 <cpressey> ais523: I have a something too, based on thinking about Wang tiles
17:29:52 <cpressey> actually's it's just an old thing
17:30:10 <ais523> my latest approach has been along the lines of "a language is TC if you can compile any TC-language program to it, via a function that can output the 'nth' byte of the resulting program in finite time"
17:30:14 <ais523> err, O(1) time, that is
17:30:28 <ais523> but I'm getting bogged down in details of what operations you're allowed
17:30:44 <cpressey> ais523: ah, so I give the "compiler" the source program, and n, and it outputs "byte" number n ?
17:30:54 <cpressey> in constant time
17:31:05 <ais523> yep
17:31:06 <elliott> ais523: so you mean, the program that produces the output program has to give a productive colist of bytes back, huh
17:31:09 <ais523> well, symbol, not byte
17:31:11 <elliott> how appropriate
17:31:15 <cpressey> or maybe O(x) where x is the length of the source program, no?
17:31:21 <cpressey> because it's gotta read it
17:31:24 <cpressey> and it's gotta read n
17:31:28 <ais523> cpressey: oh, I'm treating the source program as fixed here
17:31:33 <cpressey> ah, ok
17:31:47 <ais523> as in, for any given source program, we can produce the nth symbol of the target-language program in finite time
17:31:49 <cpressey> but the "compiler" is invariant of the choice of source program?
17:32:10 <ais523> oh, ooh, yeah we have to be careful here
17:32:30 <ais523> definitions get really complex when you're trying to avoid exploits while still allowing as much as possible
17:32:30 <cpressey> i assume we can't just OPTOMIZE it for each program we want to compil
17:32:31 <cpressey> e
17:32:55 * cpressey should really be "optomizing" a database query right now
17:33:16 <Phantom__Hoover> ais523, so are you saying that the compiler has to be 'local' when emitting a byte, basically?
17:33:30 <ais523> I guess the compiler has to be a fixed program, which can scale with the size of the source program, but not the target program
17:34:11 <ais523> Phantom__Hoover: I'm not quite sure what you mean
17:34:25 <cpressey> well, in comparison, my insight was simple: Wang tiling ~= Conway's GoL ~= CA-complete ~= can simulate any Turing machine which *never* halts
17:34:28 <cpressey> that's all
17:34:53 <Phantom__Hoover> well, that the time it takes to emit the nth byte can't increase without bound
17:34:56 <ais523> aha, we define it like this: a compiler is a single program, which, for any given source program, there is some finite bound within which it can produce any given byte of the target program
17:35:00 <cpressey> ~= meaning "computationally equivalent" because I don't do fancy unicode in IRC (yet)
17:35:23 <ais523> I do fancy Unicode in IRC all the time, but that one isn't on my compose key
17:35:54 <Phantom__Hoover> i.e. what you're trying to prevent is situations where the compilation process is introducing an unbounded amount of computational 'strenght'
17:35:56 <Phantom__Hoover> *strength
17:36:39 <ais523> right
17:37:08 <ais523> so for example, imagine a programming language which takes an infinitely long program as input, and only has two commands, "halt" and "nop"
17:37:30 <ais523> you can compile into that language by running your input program for n steps, then outputting "halt" or "nop" based on whether it halted within those n steps
17:37:32 <ais523> to output the nth command
17:37:49 <Phantom__Hoover> presumably because the trouble with the 2,3 turing machine was that, in some sense, most of the computation was done in that way?
17:37:53 <ais523> the problem I'm having is that, to define O(1), you need to define which operations you're allowed
17:37:59 <ais523> Phantom__Hoover: actually it wasn't
17:38:04 <ais523> my problem is proving that it wasn't thouhg
17:38:06 <ais523> *though
17:38:13 <ais523> which means defining what it means to do that
17:38:18 <Phantom__Hoover> ah
17:39:27 -!- vanila has joined.
17:39:34 <vanila> hello
17:40:18 <ais523> hi vanila
17:42:03 <cpressey> ais523: this sounds reminiscent of one part of Minsky's old book where he frets about mappings between languages wrt TC-ness.  He's not conclusive.  I think he says the mapping function should not be more than primitive-recursive
17:42:31 <ais523> that's close to the argument I made in the first submission of the 2,3 Turing machine proof
17:42:32 <cpressey> if you allow any PR function, that still gives you an awful lot of leeway
17:42:55 <ais523> however, primitive recursive programs can't run for infinite time
17:42:59 <ais523> so they can't produce infinite output
17:43:00 <cpressey> and if we're trying to find the "smallest" TC things, it seems likely we're going to get into the territory of these "powerfulish" mappings
17:43:12 <cpressey> ais523: yeah, but a mapping doesn't need to
17:43:20 <cpressey> you're just mapping one finite program to another
17:43:27 <ais523> no, the problem with the 2,3 proof is
17:43:30 <ais523> the input program is infinitely long
17:43:38 <cpressey> ?!
17:43:38 <lambdabot> Maybe you meant: v @ ? .
17:43:56 <cpressey> no lambdabot, I meant an interrobang, but as I said, no fancy unicode yet
17:43:59 <ais523> because it has to initialize the whole tape of the Turing machine
17:44:09 <ais523> and the pattern it initializes it with isn't finite or repeating
17:44:27 <cpressey> yeah that ain't right
17:44:39 <cpressey> in my view, it needs to lazily create that pattern as it uses thar part of the tape
17:44:46 <cpressey> and the complexity of doing so needs to be factored in
17:45:08 <ais523> so you would consider the 2,3 machine to be sub-TC, then
17:45:29 <ais523> I still haven't found the simplest pattern that works
17:45:31 <cpressey> ("needs to" ... er... simpler to consider systems that only do that, rather than ones that need a "prepared tape")
17:45:31 <vanila> An operating system made in common lisp - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46753018/Screen%20Shot%202015-01-19%20at%2001.29.31.png
17:45:39 <cpressey> (is that like a perpared piano, John Cage...?)
17:46:01 <ais523> but suspect it's along the lines of "infinitely repeating pattern, except that all cells with index 2^n are replaced with the same specific value as an exception to the pattern"
17:46:15 <cpressey> ais523: I guess I... not exactly; I would consider it to be an abbreviated description of a TC system which, if not abbreviated, would be >2,3
17:46:22 <cpressey> or in other words, yes
17:46:55 <ais523> have you heard of the language "sequential tag"? it's something that #esoteric sometimes discusses
17:47:19 <cpressey> vanila: nice!  (is the nethack written in lisp too?)
17:47:22 -!- arjanb has joined.
17:47:23 <ais523> basically, it has infinitely long programs; each command in the program is a sequence of subcommands, either "run" or "skip"
17:47:39 <cpressey> ais523: I... don't think I have
17:47:49 <ais523> all data is stored in one queue, which is initialized as "run"
17:47:50 <cpressey> oh, infinitely long THIS, infinitely long THAT, what madness is this
17:48:07 <cpressey> (might make more sense if you saw my rant about "total" earlier)
17:48:33 <vanila> it's just telnet talking to nethack server, but the mandelbrot and stuff is in lisp :)
17:48:40 <ais523> then repeatedly, you pop the start of the queue, if it's "run" you append the current command of the program to the end of the queue and move to the next command, if it's "skip" you move to the next command of the program without appending anything to the queue
17:48:47 <ais523> and it halts if the queue ever becomes empty
17:49:19 <ais523> it's one of the easiest languages to implement, if you have the ability to read an infinitely long program
17:49:25 <ais523> because it's so simple
17:49:41 <ais523> and it's TC if you allow an infinitely repeating input prorgam
17:50:39 <cpressey> um, hm.
17:51:01 <ais523> (because with an infinitely repeating input program, it becomes cyclic tag)
17:51:34 <cpressey> wait, i totally do not follow.  the queue is not a queue of... maybe i should look this up on the wiki
17:51:55 <vanila> I still find it hard to accept that cyclic tag machines can be TC, I get how they are but.. they shouldn't be..
17:52:04 <ais523> I'm not sure it's on the wiki
17:52:07 <ais523> but the queue is of "run" and "skip"
17:52:29 <ais523> vanila: they "feel" sub-TC?
17:52:37 <cpressey> ok, so you pop "run", and the "current command" is -- the next thing on the queue?
17:53:13 <cpressey> does not appear to be on the wiki, btw
17:53:46 <vanila> yes - but just because my intuition is wrong I guess
17:54:12 <ais523> cpressey: the next command in the program
17:54:18 <ais523> the queue tells you whether to run or skip each command in the program
17:54:34 <ais523> and when you run a command, it shifts a specific sequence onto the end of the queue
17:54:49 <cpressey> ok, so the queue is not infinite, and the program is not on the queue
17:55:13 <cpressey> replace "infinite but repeating" with a "goto" and I'm fine with it
17:55:32 <cpressey> infinitely long programs, though... no.
17:55:40 <cpressey> they defeat the point
17:55:55 <vanila> an infinitely long program could contain something very dangerous... unless you know that it was generated by a simple program
17:56:25 <ais523> cpressey: right
17:56:42 <ais523> now, the problem with things like cellular automata and turing machines
17:56:51 <ais523> is that the programs are inherently infinitely long
17:57:12 <cpressey> ais523: i disagree.  unbounded, yes.  infinite, no.
17:57:12 <ais523> so the conventional wisdom is that you have to initialize them with a repeating pattern
17:57:28 <ais523> hmm
17:57:37 <ais523> for a Turing machine, you can have an unbounded tape, plus a rule for initializing it
17:57:53 <ais523> and I assume you'd treat that initialization rule as part of the Turing machine, rather than part of the input to it?
17:57:54 <cpressey> ais523: yes.  and yes, it's a bit more difficult to work that into a CA, but
17:58:02 <cpressey> ais523: and yes
17:58:06 <cpressey> oh irc
17:58:33 <cpressey> i consider a tape cell of a TM to essentially not exist until the head gets to it
17:58:44 <cpressey> but the head can always get to a new tape cell and make it exist
17:58:48 <elliott> "This is a little surprising: greatest fixpoints allow infinite objects, such as streams, yet the strong normalisation property is preserved." I guess wadler sums up the totality thing pretty well
17:58:50 <ais523> hmm, this viewpoint is quite at odds to mine
17:59:35 <ais523> elliott: I find it a little hard to define strong normalization if you have infinite input
17:59:54 <ais523> about the strongest concept I can manage to define on that is weak confluence
17:59:57 <elliott> cpressey: that's sort of like how the next cell of an infinite codata stream doesn't exist until you observe it, but you can always observe a new one and make it exist in finite time :)
18:00:18 <vanila> I hope wadler is ok, he was ill
18:01:04 <cpressey> elliott: yes, but this is happening *inside a Turing machine*, not *in my program*
18:01:27 <cpressey> it's only to avoid questions about infinite tapes
18:02:07 <cpressey> and a way to collect the complexity of "prepared tape" into one place, where you were already caring about complexity -- the running of the TM itself

18:06:22 <cpressey> fun to watch for about 50 seconds
18:06:38 <elliott> functions are one type of codata (the best-supported, usually) and codata can be implemented as functions, so
18:06:52 <elliott> okay, (Z,Z) -> Tile
18:07:19 <elliott> cpressey: uh, or do you mean something that ensures you're tiling properly
18:07:31 <elliott> that sounds like you'd end up with proof objects and stuff and this is out of my pay grade
18:07:32 <cpressey> no elliott, I want an invalid Wang tiling!
18:07:49 <elliott> I'm an invalid Wang tiling :(
18:09:03 <cpressey> I'm trying very hard not to lol
18:10:03 <cpressey> #esoteric: the channel where everyone can disagree about infinite
18:10:07 <cpressey> infinity*
18:11:46 <olsner> oh, cpressey is here
18:11:59 <cpressey> hi olsner
18:13:27 <cpressey> corecursion looks interesting, because i've been hanging out with people in generative art circles, and they're interested in grammars, but they're more interested in *generating* things from than, than *parsing* things with them
18:13:48 <cpressey> which is easy, programming-wise, in an RDP: replace scan("x") with emit("x") {more or less}
18:14:02 <cpressey> but, theory?
18:14:06 <cpressey> this might be it
18:15:32 <vanila> also logic programming to run recognizers backwards to generate things
18:17:27 <cpressey> vanila: yes, I'm reading the wikipedia article on it now, and it's looking a bit like that
18:18:41 <cpressey> elliott: maybe I'm a finitist?  would that be terrible?  istr that might be terrible
18:18:58 <cpressey> an infinite list is REALLY a finite list plus a continuation!
18:19:11 <elliott> that's more or less the codata perspective though
18:19:22 <elliott> thinking of Colist A as an infinite list is up to you
18:20:16 <cpressey> ok, maybe that will help me think about what i don't like about this "TC and total too!" thing
18:20:29 <vanila> oh that's funny, I just learned about TC & total
18:20:35 <elliott> a Colist A is just something you can construct from an X and (X -> Maybe (A, X)) (for any X) (e.g. nats = unfold 0 (\n -> Just (n, n+1))) and that gives you Colist A -> Maybe (A, Colist A)
18:20:43 <vanila> I got my own view on it
18:20:46 <elliott> meaning is for humans
18:21:07 <elliott> or more simply, Stream A from X and (X -> (A, X)), yielding head : Stream A -> A and tail : Stream A -> Stream A
18:21:13 <elliott> (eliding the possibility of stopping)
18:22:09 <cpressey> oh wait
18:22:14 <cpressey> no n/m
18:22:32 <cpressey> "total" ~= "well-typed"?
18:22:35 <cpressey> look just ignore me
18:22:47 <elliott> depends on your type system :p
18:22:53 <cpressey> yes
18:22:54 <elliott> Agda and Coq rely on a termination checker separate to their type system
18:22:55 <vanila> Here's what I came to understand:
18:23:01 <elliott> I prefer type systems that ensure termination by construction.
18:23:25 <elliott> fwiw: map f stream = unfold stream (\strm -> (f (head strm), tail strm))
18:23:49 <elliott> map f colist = unfold colist (\cl -> case observe cl of Nothing -> Nothing; Just (hd,tl) -> (f hd, tl))
18:23:52 <elliott> fun times
18:24:00 <elliott> (of course your function has to be, um, total.)
18:24:11 <vanila> My idea of 'turing complete' was you could write any nat -> nat function that you can with 'recursive functions' (primitive rec + mu-minimization)
18:25:03 <vanila> agda isn't turing complete in that sense, but if you the notion to allow functions like: nat -> partial nat  then it is turing complete

18:26:22 <cpressey> elliott: I... almost see what you're saying
18:26:27 <cpressey> it's like a negative photograph
18:26:33 -!- mihow has joined.
18:28:12 <cpressey> that was why I was thinking total = well-typed; if the function maps every value in X to any value in Y, it is total, and you can type it X->Y
18:28:27 <elliott> sure
18:28:33 <cpressey> if for some values in X it doesn't, well, no Y for it then
18:28:42 <vanila> you can have well types programs that infinite loop, e.g. omega = omega
18:28:46 <elliott> then the question is what type in Haskell corresponds to the naturals
18:28:52 <cpressey> YEAH BARRING BOTTOM AND ALL THAT
18:28:53 <elliott> data Nat = Z | S !Nat is so close, but it has _|_
18:28:59 <elliott> but bottom is exactly what makes things non-total >_>
18:29:17 <elliott> since it means you don't have total mathematical \mathbb{N} -> \mathBB{N} functions
18:29:45 <cpressey> well, but f : Nat -> {0, _|_} is total right?
18:29:52 <elliott> sure
18:30:03 <elliott> also the functions have to be monotone/continuous/whatever blah blah blah
18:30:08 * elliott transforms into dana scott

18:33:38 -!- cpressey has quit (Quit: leaving).
18:35:12 <vanila> i dont like to think of agda as TC, it just seems misleading and flame-war-inviting to me
18:35:41 <ais523> now I'm wondering what goes wrong if you try to get Agda to prove itself consistent
18:35:59 <elliott> the termination checker won't buy it
18:36:02 -!- mihow has quit (Quit: mihow).
18:36:47 <vanila> you can't get  conAgda :: Proof (Consistent Agda)
18:37:00 <vanila> but you can produce conAgda' :: partiality (Proof (Consistent Agda))
18:37:14 <elliott> won't that just be fix later
18:37:38 <elliott> I don't believe that can ever work if it's not (clasically), eventually you have to produce a now (p : Proof (Consistent Agda))
18:37:49 <vanila> its just the same as a lisp program that tries fitting together axioms randomly to prove agda consistent
18:37:52 <elliott> *ever work since if it's not fix later (classically),
18:38:03 <elliott> well, it'll never find such a proof though
18:38:06 <elliott> but sure
18:38:12 <elliott> the simpler way to write that value is fix later :p
18:38:42 <vanila> sometimes you can construct a value of type  partiality Foo
18:38:43 <int-e> well, it might terminate after all
18:38:52 <vanila> and then actually provide a proof that it terminates, to get a Foo out
18:38:53 <elliott> it won't
18:39:01 <int-e> unless you are, for some reason, convinced that Agda is in fact consistent.
18:39:04 <vanila> in the caes of this Proof, you will not be able to proof that it terminates inside agda
18:39:17 <elliott> int-e: I am convinced that Agda will never find an internal proof of its own consistency...
18:39:35 <elliott> okay, I guess this is pointless without defining Proof here
18:39:38 <vanila> but you can make it to do arbitrary computation
18:40:03 <elliott> okay, here's what I mean: meta-theoretically, we can prove that conAgda' ~~ fix later
18:40:10 <vanila> i dont think so
18:40:13 <elliott> but that might not be true depending on what Proof is.
18:40:51 <elliott> if we can prove meta-theoretically that conAgda' ~~ later^n (now p) for some n and p, though, then there is an Agda term conAgda : Proof (Consistent Agda)
18:41:09 <elliott> if our metatheory is classical we can prove one of those.
18:41:18 <elliott> okay, it might not give us an n and p
18:41:24 <elliott> arguing about constructivism is too hard
18:42:43 <elliott> okay: there is no expression e : Partial A such that not not (e = later e, or there is an expression e' : A). I hope that's double-negated enough
18:42:47 <vanila> oh! I get you now
18:42:49 <elliott> again metatheoretically
18:43:25 <elliott> so if you say, there is no e : A, but I have e' : partial A, then I don't believe that e' can be anything other than later e', with enough "not not"s in there
18:43:31 <elliott> so it will not not not halt :p
18:57:21 <int-e> @djinn (((a -> r) -> r) -> r) -> (a -> r)
18:57:22 <lambdabot> f a b = a (\ c -> c b)
19:08:57 <int-e> elliott: I still think your assumption that A is empty is a tad optimistic.
19:09:11 <elliott> int-e: what do you mean?
19:09:29 <int-e> if the logic is inconsistent then it might well "prove" its own consistency
19:09:37 <elliott> well, sure
19:09:41 <elliott> Agda has had proofs of _|_ before.
19:09:57 <elliott> what I said applies regardless of A, though
19:10:03 <int-e> (and djinn just showed that not not not foo is the same as not foo, even intuitionistically)
19:10:21 <elliott> yes, that was what we call a joke >_>
19:10:26 <int-e> ah
19:10:39 <int-e> it was not not funny

21:41:45 <b_jonas> oren: yes, it's called "bottom"
21:43:48 <oren> I suppose it is smaller on the page than the word "false".
21:44:17 <`^_^v> it's a middle finger to logic
21:44:17 <vanila> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_%28logic%29
21:44:20 <vanila> its an ascii picture of this
21:44:40 <oren> Maybe the easiest logical literals for me to type are "0=0" and "0=1"
21:45:56 <oren> Idea: an algolike language which lacks literals other than 0 and 1.
21:46:28 <oren> Wait... That would be the peano axioms...
21:46:30 <ais523> PCF? although that doesn't even have 1 really
21:46:31 <ais523> just +1
21:46:36 <vanila> (1+1)*(1+(1+1)*(1+(1+1))) I can do binary like this
21:47:36 <oren> assignment should be <- . It should always have been <- .
21:47:46 <MDude> I think those +s and *s might need switched around?
21:47:50 <MDude> I agree oren.
21:48:38 <MDude> ChucK knows how to assign properly.
21:49:25 <MDude> Though I would also accept "set [var] to [value]" if allowing the language to be more verbose.
21:50:37 <oren> I made a calculator once that did exactly what ChucK does. 
21:50:50 <oren> (in assignment, not in anything else)
21:52:42 <MDude> Oh, ChucK actually uses =>
21:53:04 <oren> In math, assignment is "let x be [value]"
21:53:53 <oren> But in math, the evaluation is explicitly controlled, like "now subsitutute in the value of x"...
21:54:18 <oren> God damn it how do you spell subsitute?
21:54:19 <vanila> there's no evaluaton
21:54:31 <MDude> I was imagining let would be for lazy evaluation statements, while set would be for eager evaluation.
21:54:33 <vanila> you just treat all equal values as identical
21:54:41 <b_jonas> "substitute" I think
21:54:46 <MDude> Because obviously having both in a language makes sense.
21:55:47 <oren> MDude: that is a cool idea.
21:57:59 <oren> vanila: A math paper is a syntax-tree-rewriting program with verification, which a mathematician's brain runs and checks. 
22:00:11 <MDude> Oh, good then. I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not.
22:01:04 <vanila> idont agree
22:01:13 <oren> Eager evaluation is a good idea for time-critical parts of a program
22:02:13 <oren> E.g. we don't want to go out of the polygon drawing loop to lazy-evaluate the enemies' positions.
22:05:29 <oren> But in other parts of a program, being lazy can help performance. So having both is a good idea 
22:07:44 -!- `^_^v has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
22:08:15 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: dinner).
22:08:24 <elliott> 22:02:13 <oren> E.g. we don't want to go out of the polygon drawing loop to  lazy-evaluate the enemies' positions.
22:08:29 <elliott> this isn't what lazy evaluation is.
22:08:36 <elliott> I mean that is one possible non-strict evaluation strategy.
22:08:47 <elliott> but that is just not something that really happens when you write in Haskell or whatever.
22:09:00 <elliott> unless you're writing your polygon drawing loop extremely weirdly
22:09:03 <elliott> well
22:09:13 <elliott> ok I can see how that would happen with certain kinds of data flow, I misread what you meant
22:09:18 <oren> Why not? You don't need to evaluate anything until it would have visible effects, right?
22:09:29 <elliott> there are tools for solving that within a lazy evaluation discipline though
22:09:34 <elliott> like, the thing is that making the polygon drawing loop eager wouldn't solve that
22:09:39 <elliott> because it's a non-local property you're talking about here
22:09:47 <elliott> it would be the position evaluation prior to that that would need to be strict
22:11:53 <oren> Why not have an evaluate operator that forces the value to be stored?
22:12:07 <vanila> haskell tried that
22:12:10 <vanila> its awful
22:12:17 <oren> Why?
22:15:03 <vanila> i guess it just doesn't seem aesthetic to me
22:15:04 <elliott> oren: well, you can't quite have a -> a
22:15:08 <elliott> but you can have a -> b -> b
22:15:30 <elliott> in haskell (a `seq` b) is b, but where a must be evaluated (to WHNF)
22:15:34 <elliott> note: no guarantees as to the ordering of the two
22:15:42 <elliott> and (f $! x) is (x `seq` f x) which is useful
22:15:49 <elliott> it can be annoying to juggle though.
22:15:57 <elliott> but you can use it to enforce invariants about evaluation.
22:16:49 <vanila> It's cool how you can do strictness analysis on code and automatically use strict evaluation instead of lazy
22:17:06 <elliott> except when it doesn't work :(

06:42:46 -!- merdach has joined.
06:46:14 <zzo38> b_jonas: OK
06:46:31 <b_jonas> zzo38: there's an easy solution for constructing a Babson task like you asked
06:46:38 <b_jonas> for M:tG
06:46:57 <zzo38> What is it then? I didn't try to figure it out much so I don't know
06:47:43 <b_jonas> The key is to use one of the dozens of cards that use "with the same name" in their rules.
06:49:57 <b_jonas> You have 6 life, opponent has 20. Opponent has Arcane Laboratory and Asceticism and Bedlam in play, you have a Squire. None of you have lands, but there's some suspended Lotus Blooms so that opponent gets 6 mana in his turn, then you get 6 mana in your turn, then you get 6 mana in your turn after that. It's the start of the opponent's turn.
06:50:18 <b_jonas> Both of you have some mathcing 1/1 creatures that are vanilla or have no relevant abilities (flying or first strike are ok), and you also have an Echoing Decay.
06:50:42 <b_jonas> Opponent may play a creature, and the only way you can win is by playing the same creature then playing Echoing Decay on your own creature next turn, then beat him with the Squire.
06:52:41 <b_jonas> This already allows tens of creatures (you may need Spellbooks to set it up), and can be extended to much more if you increase the life total of the opponent and replace Echoing Decay with Bile Blight so you can use creatures of size up to 3/3.
06:53:52 <zzo38> OK, although I was thinking of stuff that doesn't say "with the same name"; I have thought of a few other examples but not the way to combine them.
06:53:55 <ais523> construct something complicated involving a bounce-to-top-of-library card and Search the City
06:54:04 <ais523> just so that Search the City gets some use ;-)
06:54:25 <ais523> when I first saw it, I thought it'd be an interesting card at U
06:54:27 <ais523> but it costs 4U
06:55:18 <b_jonas> zzo38: I'd still like to see a construction that doesn't use "same name", but instead relies on creature cards with different power-toughness.
06:55:27 <b_jonas> I think it's possible, but I haven't found one.
06:55:56 <zzo38> Something I thought of for example is Dark Depths and Aether Snap.
06:56:13 <b_jonas> I'd like to note though that there's lot more cards with "same name" then I thought, and I think half a dozen can be used for this construction
06:56:56 <b_jonas> (as in, they may need extra cards for the set up, but the basic idea is the same)
06:57:12 <b_jonas> besides Echoing Decay and Bile Blight, Detention Sphere also works, 
06:58:03 <b_jonas> ais523: hmm, that might work
06:58:28 <b_jonas> Sever the Bloodline also works
06:59:01 <b_jonas> I think there are two cards that destroy enchantments with the same name, those can probably be made to work 
06:59:09 <ais523> b_jonas: for power/toughness total, there's brainstorm + wild pair + whatever that card is that steals all creature spells when they're cast
07:00:45 <b_jonas> ais523: what?
07:00:56 <b_jonas> oh
07:01:06 <b_jonas> um, I don't really understand
07:01:24 <b_jonas> hmm...
07:03:16 <ais523> you don't even need brainstorm if the matching card is allowed to start in your library rather than your hand, that was just to put a card in hand back into your library
07:04:04 <b_jonas> I think it might be possible to set up something where it's the actual combat that matters, something with 4/1, 2/3, 0/5 creature cards, switching P/T of your creature, blocking, and making sure you get ahead in combat if you play the exact same creature.
07:04:12 <b_jonas> I'll have to think about whether there's such a construction.

07:23:43 <b_jonas> also, some of what I said and more of what I thought about FFT yesterday was wrong
07:24:01 <b_jonas> I'll have to think more about that stuff
07:29:24 -!- fractal has joined.
07:41:09 -!- Patashu has joined.
07:58:12 <zzo38> The other one might be Airdrop Condor and Artificial Evolution.
07:59:24 <b_jonas> zzo38: hmm... something like that could work
07:59:53 <b_jonas> but then I don't see how you make sure I can't just play a higher power creature
08:01:52 <zzo38> Perhaps there isn't a higher power creatures
08:02:13 <b_jonas> but you have to make a Babson task with multiple creatures to choose from
08:02:41 <zzo38> I mean multiple cards to play; each one may be a different kind of effect
08:02:43 <b_jonas> that's why I want combat, so if you choose a creature with too low power, it can't kill the opponent's creature, but if you choose one with too low toughness, yours doesn't survive
08:05:21 <zzo38> Note also that Artificial Evolution says "The new creature type can't be Wall"; if it didn't say that then you couldn't stop them from activating Airdrop Condor before you are able to change it back, I think?
08:06:02 <b_jonas> zzo38: what?
08:06:08 -!- ais523 has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
08:07:45 <zzo38> Maybe they want to change "Goblin" into "Dragon" but if you target the other Artificial Evolution to change "Wall" into "Dragon" then they can't. But otherwise once one spell resolves they can activate it before your spell resolves, because that is the cost of the activated ability
08:07:46 <b_jonas> Would it be very inelegant if I used multiple instants previously suspended with Delay?
08:08:53 <b_jonas> Hmm wait, you might not need that... 
08:09:01 <zzo38> I don't really know
08:10:07 <b_jonas> Is there something like Otherworldly Journey that works on auras? I know you could use Otherworldly Journey too, but it would require heavy machinery, worse than Delay.
08:11:39 <b_jonas> There is: Flickerwisp
08:12:13 <b_jonas> or Glimmerpoint Stag
08:12:46 <b_jonas> hmm no, it'd be ugly to make those act through turns
08:14:33 <b_jonas> then Delay might be the easiest
08:20:50 -!- ais523 has joined.
08:21:42 <b_jonas> Is there an easy way to give someone only _one_ colored mana (and possibly multiple colorless mana) in a particular turn, the way Lotus Bloom gives three colored mana?
08:22:04 <b_jonas> Because that could let you get rid of Arcane Laboratory.
08:23:09 <b_jonas> You could give one mana the next turn, that's easier, but how do you give one mana the turn after that?
08:25:46 <b_jonas> Though for this simple construction with Echoing Decay, it's enough to give one colored mana next turn so you can only play one creature, and three colored mana with Lotus Blood the turn after that and make sure there's no black creatures so you're forced to play only Bile Blight
08:28:34 <b_jonas> I'll try to think of a combat-based solution.
08:29:01 <b_jonas> hmm wait
08:31:57 <b_jonas> what if you just have much fewer life than your opponent, and multiple creatures, each of which is the only one that can block the same type of creature: a creature with flying, black creature with fear, a creature with shadow, a creature with horsemanship, and a red creature with intimidate?
08:32:16 <b_jonas> plus make sure you can cast only one creature, and you're done
08:32:20 <b_jonas> no need for any fancy p/t magic
08:32:34 <b_jonas> oh, and you'll need an extra vanilla creature
08:32:42 <b_jonas> zzo38: ^
08:33:13 <b_jonas> plus maybe some toughness increasing effects to make sure your blocker survives 
08:36:03 <b_jonas> that's not scalable to more than five to ten creatures, but still
08:42:45 <b_jonas> (I'll have to think whether that evasion-based method can be combined with a P/T-based method)
08:44:11 <zzo38> That is one idea too, yes
08:44:41 <zzo38> But, it is possible that your blocker might not need to survive
08:46:50 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, it needn't survive actually
08:47:07 <b_jonas> zzo38: if you have 1 life, then you die next turn if you don't block
08:47:42 <b_jonas> and suppose you have a large creature that doesn't untap next turn, so you win your second next turn otherwise
08:48:00 <b_jonas> but making your blocker survive is easy enough
08:48:19 <b_jonas> you just need ten Veteran Armorers with Pacifism
08:49:48 <b_jonas> is there an instant that adds just _one_ mana to your mana pool?
08:50:36 <b_jonas> oh, there is, suspended Divergent Growth works if you have ten Reliquary Towers
08:51:07 <b_jonas> then you don't need Arcane Laboratory
08:51:37 <b_jonas> (or Rule of Law or Eidolon of Rhetoric)
08:53:44 <b_jonas> though if there are really three of these cards, all uncommon in accessible sets, then I might not need to avoid it
08:54:40 <b_jonas> there's also Curse of Exhaustion
08:59:50 <zzo38> Or you can win in another way, such as opponent has no card to draw

09:24:56 <cpressey> ais523: hi
09:25:28 <cpressey> "produce byte #n in O(1) time" <-> "compile the whole thing in O(n) time"
09:25:42 <cpressey> and it fails hard on C++, with its templates
09:26:08 <cpressey> (obviously, that's a bit out of scope for what you're interested in, but still)
09:26:59 <cpressey> oh -- also, I have no problem per se with "prepared tapes" or infinite CA playfields -- the problem I have is with comparing apples to oranges
09:27:59 <cpressey> the only way I see to fairly compare them is to convert the one to the other
09:29:52 <cpressey> as for "total"... most of my confusion has abated
09:30:34 <cpressey> I do not contest that Woulter Swierstra has written a total function which takes Brainfuck programs to possibly-infinite execution traces
09:30:56 <cpressey> I do not contest that Brainfuck is Turing-complete
09:31:14 <cpressey> (the turing-complete version of brainfuck, that is :))
09:31:49 <cpressey> *Wouter
09:32:31 <cpressey> I might not even contest calling Wouter's function "Turing-complete", but that term is sort of a rubbish bin at this point anyway
09:33:19 <cpressey> I'll try to give an example that illustrates my remaining reservations/nonplussedness

09:37:01 <ais523> hi cpressey
09:37:25 <ais523> what's the non-Turing-complete version of brainfuck?
09:37:35 <ais523> (I assume you aren't referring to one of the many awful BF derivatives)
09:38:00 <oerjan> 30 Kb should be enough for everyone
09:38:04 <ais523> ah right
09:38:11 <ais523> that's an awful BF derivative that predates BF
09:38:13 <cpressey> ais523: well, the version where you take the original implementation in C as god, and... yeah
09:38:27 <ais523> besides, writing off the end of an array is UB
09:38:35 <ais523> I can imagine a C implementation that reacts by extending the array
09:38:50 <ais523> also increasing the size of an int so that it can continue to index the array indefinitely
09:39:00 <cpressey> sure, why not?
09:39:11 <cpressey> well, pointer size
09:39:14 * cpressey waves hand
09:39:20 <ais523> increase that too
09:39:33 <ais523> actually I guess you have to increase the size of a char
09:39:40 <ais523> but then defining char_bit would be difficult
09:39:42 <cpressey> ais523: tantamount to throwing much of C out the window, but, ok
09:40:05 <ais523> the world needs more C impls that don't act anything like C
09:40:41 <cpressey> store the tape on a real tape and issue I/O commands by mapping a volatile variable to an I/O port
09:40:47 <cpressey> then you're only limited by the size of your tape reel
09:41:10 <ais523> or by using the stdio FILE * API
09:41:15 <ais523> that's even blessed by the standard
09:41:29 <ais523> and you can move around using relative seeks
09:41:50 <cpressey> ok, but I worry that it still might have some unfortunate verbiage in the spec that imposes a maximum somewhere
09:42:19 <ais523> I'm remembering from last time this subject came up
09:42:55 <cpressey> anyway, on that other note, it seems most "reasonable" languages do admit a "dumb" compiler to Turing-machines in O(n) time
09:43:04 <cpressey> dumb = non-optimizing, of course
09:43:19 <cpressey> maybe a little more than O(n) if you don't accept that hash tables are O(1)
09:43:40 * oerjan wonders if cpressey ever noticed his underload interpreter in emmental

09:44:12 <cpressey> :)
09:44:12 <oerjan> dulla: both are esolangs
09:44:17 <cpressey> no, i haven't seen it yet
09:44:31 <oerjan> i made it around the time the wiki featured emmental
09:44:42 <dulla> So, I guess my hint is to look at all the concurrency esols
09:44:48 <ais523> dulla: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Underload
09:44:51 <ais523> if you haven't seen it, you should
09:44:54 <ais523> it's one of the Big Five
09:45:11 <int-e> cpressey: you can prefix an interpreter with a sequence of states that initialises the tape with the source code, which would be really stupid but O(n), no extras.
09:45:16 <ais523> (Befunge, Brainfuck, INTERCAL, Underload, Unlambda)
09:45:54 <oerjan> cpressey: http://oerjan.nvg.org/esoteric/emmental/ul.emm or slightly less evilly, the haskell generator http://oerjan.nvg.org/esoteric/emmental/EmmUnl.hs
09:47:00 <cpressey> dear lord
09:47:02 <cpressey> very nice
09:47:31 <cpressey> "It uses Emmental's metacircular evaluation principles to _turn_ the Emmental interpreter into an Underload one" -- exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for
09:49:14 <ais523> oerjan: the Haskell generator uses lens
09:49:18 <ais523> and you're calling it less evil?
09:50:40 <oerjan> it was in fact the first haskell program where i used lens in earnest
09:50:50 <int-e> Hmm, is there a way to get Firefox use syntax highlighting if it sees  Content-Type: text/x-haskell ?
09:51:08 <oerjan> ais523: it's less evil in so far as it is _plausible_ for humans to read
09:51:10 <ais523> it normally delegates to your editor, which will know how, IME
09:51:20 <ais523> `quote lens
09:51:55 <int-e> (I have the "open in browser" plugin, so at least I can display the file in the browser rather than having to save it to disk)

09:52:06 <lambdabot> Taneb says: lens has got to be the only library with more contributors than people who know how it works
09:52:22 <ais523> oerjan: did you just call me "fizzie"? :-)
09:52:48 <int-e> ais523: no
09:52:52 <ais523> also, aimake has more contributors than people who know how it works, but it's not technically a library
09:52:59 <int-e> ais523: he was alerting fizzie to a problem
09:55:04 <ais523> oerjan: technically you'd only need to impl (), : and ^ to prove fancy-L-completeness
09:56:26 <cpressey> if fancy-L is what I think it is, <3 this channel, doing all the computability dirty work that everyone else refuses to touch
09:56:55 <ais523> cpressey: it means "it's possible to write at least one interpreter for a TC language in this program"
09:57:16 <ais523> which may have been your definition?
09:57:22 <cpressey> ais523: i believe it was, yes
09:57:37 <oerjan> ais523: i am addressing fizzie as the person most likely to be able to fix it, although he seems frightfully evil
09:57:42 <oerjan> *idel
09:57:51 <ais523> he can't be worse than lens, surely

10:01:05 <oerjan> <ais523> oerjan: technically you'd only need to impl (), : and ^ to prove fancy-L-completeness <-- it was of course more fun to try to cram (almost) everything in
10:01:18 <ais523> does the ():^ TCness proof use nested parens?
10:01:30 <ais523> if not, minimal-Underload might actually work quite well as a source language for TCness proofs
10:01:32 <zzo38> The other way to open the text file in the browser is if you write "view-source:" before the URL; not all browsers will accept this though
10:01:50 <cpressey> oh hi zzo38 
10:02:00 <ais523> oh wow, I remember learning about that when I was in school and Geocities was really popular and I didn't know what CGI was yet
10:02:29 <zzo38> O, do you like to ask too many questions/complaints to me please?
10:02:51 <oerjan> ais523: definitely needs some nesting, although it should be limited by O(states*symbols) of a universal minsky machine
10:03:10 <int-e> (FWIW, on my own webservers I tend to hack mime.types to produce text/plain for .hs files.)
10:03:29 <ais523> how do you measure states and symbols for a minsky machine?
10:03:39 <oerjan> oops
10:03:46 <oerjan> i guess only states then
10:05:02 <b_jonas> "(Befunge, Brainfuck, INTERCAL, Underload, Unlambda)" is the big five? I haven't heared of that yet, but it sounds reasonable.
10:05:17 <oerjan> ais523: also you only need to add ~ to get a TM instead
10:05:18 <ais523> b_jonas: it was sort-of informally agreed here a while ago
10:05:30 <zzo38> On my own computer I have put a .htaccess in /dnd/recording/ in order to make it set the MIME type of the TeX source files to text/plain too
10:05:43 <ais523> oerjan: ~ is one of the hardest commands to impl, although I guess it's not much harder than : and might even be a little easier
10:06:17 <b_jonas> ais523: ok, then I'll propose a category on the wiki
10:06:28 <cpressey> <ais523> so you would consider the 2,3 machine to be sub-TC, then <-- iirc, it's not capable of halting, so no, I don't consider it TC
10:06:35 <ais523> cpressey: my version, it is
10:06:39 <ais523> I use a right-infinite tape
10:06:44 <ais523> halting is falling off the left end
10:07:00 <int-e> Perhaps one could use 2^k as the number of symbols of a Minsky machine with k counters.
10:07:02 <ais523> however, I'm considering simpler tape initializations that have more complex halt states
10:07:15 <cpressey> ais523: beh, i almost want to count that as an extra symbol
10:07:26 <int-e> But it's awkward.
10:07:29 <cpressey> at any rate, you can't fairly compare it to a bi-infinite tape
10:07:33 <ais523> cpressey: I have an explicit extra-symbol representation too
10:07:52 <cpressey> ais523: fine, but then it's 2,4 (or 3,3 -- i can't remember)
10:07:58 <ais523> however, the mathematicians who looked over this said that Turing Machines weren't well-defined enough that it mattered
10:08:07 <cpressey> headdesk
10:08:15 <ais523> and in fact, different papers are inconsistent on whether the tape's infinite both ways or just one way
10:08:16 <cpressey> then the whole argument doesn't matter
10:08:27 <cpressey> all we can say is "Sure is small!"  Hyuk
10:08:29 <ais523> this happens a lot during research
10:08:47 <b_jonas> cpressey: by the way, thanks for the article you have recommended
10:08:47 <ais523> I discovered that one of my papers refers to a proof in another paper
10:08:57 <cpressey> b_jonas: which one is that?
10:09:05 <ais523> but the two papers are using different definitions, in a way that probably matters
10:09:09 <b_jonas> Bernstein, Multidigit multiplication for mathematicians
10:09:15 <ais523> or at least, it's nontrivial to prove that it doesn't matter
10:09:33 <cpressey> b_jonas: interesting, I'm completely drawing a blank on that.  you're sure it wasn't someone else?
10:09:45 <int-e> b_jonas: that was me; you're welcome.
10:10:02 <b_jonas> oh... 
10:10:37 <int-e> and don't worry, I'm happy not to be the only one who mixes up people :)
10:11:04 <oerjan> int-e: my :()^ gets awkward if you have more than 2 counters, anyway.  (you'd need to move across the representation of a counter to get to the other side)
10:11:21 <ais523> but you never need more than 2 counters
10:12:36 <b_jonas> you never need more than 2 counters if you're satisifed with double-exponential slowdown
10:13:04 <oerjan> indeed, it might be worth it still then
10:13:16 <ais523> well, the 2,3 machine proof is double-exponential, I think
10:13:21 <ais523> I might have got it down to single-exponential
10:13:28 <cpressey> oerjan: I'm interested in this "System T" thing of Goedel's, which is apparently decidable but > PR.  Know anything about it?
10:13:28 <b_jonas> hmm, if Game of Life was invented before Intercal, does that mean Intercal isn't really the first esolang?
10:13:29 <ais523> or it might have been triple-exponential originally
10:13:31 <oerjan> (of course, you still have exponential for using minsky)
10:13:32 <ais523> I don't even really remember
10:13:37 <ais523> b_jonas: INTERCAL wasn't the first esolang
10:13:44 <oerjan> cpressey: not that i recall
10:13:57 <ais523> b_jonas: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Prehistory_of_esoteric_programming_languages
10:14:09 <b_jonas> ais523: no, the _origianl_ 2,3 machine proof is something-exponential, but it's got a new proof that I think only has a polynomial slowdown
10:14:12 <b_jonas> let me look that up
10:14:24 <b_jonas> it's plain counter machines where you can't avoid the slowdown
10:14:38 <ais523> b_jonas: really? I would be very surprised at that
10:14:44 <ais523> (a polynomial slowdown)
10:14:49 <ais523> based on the properties of that machine
10:14:56 <ais523> (you are aware that I wrote the original proof, right?)
10:15:06 <b_jonas> ais523: what?
10:15:11 <cpressey> oerjan: I'm a bit suspicious, mainly because if it really was, I'd think it would be more well-known, and maybe have a complexity class named after it, but.  Never heard of it before yesterday.
10:15:12 <b_jonas> oh wait,
10:15:21 <b_jonas> I'm mixing it up with another small machine
10:15:25 <b_jonas> the cellular automaton
10:15:31 <ais523> rule 30?
10:15:33 <b_jonas> yes
10:15:34 <ais523> err, 110
10:15:38 <b_jonas> whatever
10:15:40 <cpressey> i don't know how i'm going to get anyway work done if i'm sitting on this channel :)
10:15:45 <cpressey> *any
10:15:46 <ais523> rule 30's harder to prove but believed to be probably also TC
10:15:48 <b_jonas> one of those with 2 states and 3 neighbours on a line
10:15:57 <b_jonas> I don't know which 
10:16:13 <b_jonas> but those are distinct from the Turing machines
10:16:32 <b_jonas> anyway, for counter machines, you clearly can't get below at least single exponential
10:16:49 <ais523> the 2,3 construction is from sequential tag
10:16:53 <b_jonas> and I suspect that for a two-counter machine the double exponential is necessary
10:17:38 <oerjan> ais523: if you used tag, then the down-to-polynomial construction for rule 110 might apply to yours too, iirc it's simply about proving _tag_systems_ not to need exponential overhead
10:18:26 <b_jonas> oerjan: what?
10:18:30 <oerjan> by a more clever representation of a turing tape
10:18:52 <b_jonas> but isn't it trivial that tag systems don't need exponential overhead if you can use enough symbols and rules?
10:19:18 <oerjan> b_jonas: maybe, but someone got a paper out of applying it to rule 110 anyhow
10:21:36 <ais523> oerjan: I used cyclic tag, which is proved TC by compiling from tag

10:27:21 <oerjan> cpressey: assuming this is the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectica_interpretation#Induction i would _almost_ interpret that section as saying it is _not_ decidable.

10:34:10 <oerjan> b_jonas: i assume the thing you've heard of is http://www.citeulike.org/user/cook/article/8904389

10:36:39 <oerjan> ais523: it also uses cyclic tag
10:36:43 <ais523> wow, "P-complete" is a weird phrase
10:37:12 <oerjan> yes, usually you then use LOGSPACE-reductions
10:37:29 <oerjan> or sometimes even lower stuff
10:38:12 <oerjan> as in, the part it changes is between the TM and the cyclic tag stuff, so it should apply to your case as well

10:39:12 <Taneb> This channel has given me a great intuition and informal knowledge for my computability module, but almost none of the formalities

11:53:21 -!- Lymia has joined.
11:55:24 <boily> how are you? have you esölanged recently? boardgaming?
11:56:22 <Taneb> I have been trying to figure out if I can implement Eodermdrome by piggybacking on the implementation of a research language one my lecturers made
11:58:15 <Taneb> However I don't really know either language
11:58:52 <boily> Ō_Ō... woooah...
11:59:31 <b_jonas> the problem with Eodermdrone is how you choose an arbitrary injective homomorphism if there are multiple possible ones.
12:01:33 <Taneb> Can I get someone cleverer than me to look at http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.5541 and figure this out?
12:04:35 <Phantom_Hoover> b_jonas, the same way as in any ambiguous rewriting language, you pick one arbitrarily
12:05:27 <b_jonas> Phantom_Hoover: sure, but that could make it hard to debug programs
12:05:52 <b_jonas> because then it's easily possible that your program works well in this implementation, but not in other implementations that pick other choices
12:06:10 <boily> is the choice part of a finite set?
12:06:12 <Taneb> I don't think that many esolangs make debugging particularly easy
12:06:25 <b_jonas> boily: finite, yes
12:07:22 <boily> then can you score the arbitrary performance of each possibility, and deterministically go with the best?
12:07:55 <boily> Taneb: there's befunge, where tracing the execution is at least as interesting as running the program itself.
12:08:19 <b_jonas> boily: um, by what measurement of performance?
12:08:57 <boily> b_jonas: some arbitrary measurement >_>'...
12:09:13 * boily mumbles mumbles something about optimisation problems
12:11:02 <Phantom_Hoover> b_jonas, if you write ambiguous substitutions then you'll end up with undefined behaviour, the solution is to make your substitutions unambiguous

13:22:54 <elliott> cpressey: I forget if the total FP paper covers the fact that ackermann is actually primitive recursive if you have higher-order functions
13:22:57 <elliott> which is nice.
13:24:31 <Taneb> My AI textbook arrived today and I am using it as a mousemat
13:24:52 <elliott> in a sense the dependently typed languages get a lot of their expressivity from the fact that you can do "fancy" recursion by returning functions or types, and by allowing you to structurally recurse over any structure you want (rather than just naturals on zero and successor)
13:25:15 <elliott> without actually having a fundamentally more complicated criteria for what recursion is allowed
13:29:59 <dulla> ?
13:33:01 <cpressey> elliott: it does mention that.  what the heck complexity class does that correspond to, though?  ackermann isn't contained in PR afaik
13:33:27 <elliott> cpressey: well: "The primitive recursive functions are among the number-theoretic functions, which are functions from the natural numbers (nonnegative integers) {0, 1, 2, ...} to the natural numbers."
13:33:51 <elliott> the trick is just to relax that return type criteria. (it already can't exactly be true, anyway, since ackermann sort of has more than one argument...? there's probably some better definition in The Literature.)
13:34:03 <elliott> (well, either that or the input type has to change, of course.)
13:34:16 <elliott> I doubt it has a name; "higher-order primitive recursive" or something
13:34:31 <cpressey> i consider the nat thing kind of incidental... exanoke has lists, for example; doesn't seem to change much
13:34:37 <cpressey> all you need is some well-founded data
13:34:49 <elliott> yeah but it isn't because adding functions gives you more in some sense
13:34:50 <elliott> well
13:34:56 <elliott> actually maybe you can do ack by going via some data-type?
13:35:04 <elliott> and having two functions
13:35:14 <cpressey> well i know there are rewrite systems by which ack can be proved to terminate
13:35:27 <cpressey> i assume there's some way to draw a correspondence between those systems and types
13:35:44 <cpressey> dependent types, esp
13:36:01 <elliott> I think the main thing is that you can get a lot out by just being able to generate other kinds of inductive data through the induction principles, rather than just the same type
13:36:07 <elliott> and then recurse on those themselves
13:36:14 <cpressey> mmmmaybe
13:37:12 <elliott> I don't think I've ever seen a "reasonable" function you can't define in Coq or Agda directly due to termination checking (even if it's really awkward to define) that isn't "interpretation-y stuff" (which I expect to be that way).
13:37:13 <cpressey> til eodermdrome is an oilipoian thing.  and that eodermdrome the esolang is a lot like thue, except on graphs, and it has a nicer approach to input imo
13:37:18 <elliott> so it goes a long way
13:38:13 <b_jonas> cpressey: the fun part is that eodermdrone would actually be easy to program if you had an unlimited number of letters. the programs might not be efficient of course, but easy to write.
13:38:31 <cpressey> elliott: yes.  in the "real" world, most people would consider NEXP too inefficient to be practical anyway.  and PR >= NEXP.  the problem is that some functions are awkward or inefficient when written in PR style
13:38:32 <b_jonas> but the way it is, it's not even turing complete, because there are only finitely many valid eodermdrone programs
13:38:48 <b_jonas> and the limitation that you have only 26 letters is very severe
13:39:13 <elliott> the "real" world of proving things :)
13:39:35 <cpressey> b_jonas: well that would let you make bigger graphs, but... you can chain smaller graph rewrites into a larger one. but yes i can see how that would be a pita
13:39:48 <cpressey> *that is a pita
13:39:53 <elliott> but yeah, you can write things a lot nicer than the usual awkward mathematical primitive recursion in dependent type theory, but it can still get ugly.
13:40:35 <b_jonas> alternately, 26 nodes would be enough if we had more than one type of edge distinguished, possibly even directed
13:40:51 <b_jonas> say, with numbers written between the letters
13:41:12 <b_jonas> then it would be almost as easy to use as an ordinary pointer machine
13:41:12 <elliott> especially when you need to go to the level of well-founded recursion (basically defining your own "smaller than" relation and proving that you can recurse a data type in a way that always gets smaller -- this lets you do things like recurse on (x/2) on naturals, rather than just (x-1). you can define it all in type theory though, no need to extend its notion of recursion, it's just fun with induction pr
13:41:18 <cpressey> b_jonas: um... i think it's TC actually
13:41:18 <elliott> inciples and vaguely higher-order stuff)
13:41:38 <cpressey> b_jonas: you do realize the letters only describe how the graph is formed, right?
13:41:54 <b_jonas> cpressey: no it's not, because there's less than about 2**(2**(26**2)) valid programs (give or take a few
13:41:57 <b_jonas> )
13:42:21 <elliott> now that's some practical limitation
13:42:32 <cpressey> b_jonas: that's not how i understood it, but i could be wrong.  maybe ais523 can shed light on it
13:42:40 <elliott> my new esolang: brainfuck but you only get, like, G_64 tape cells
13:42:48 <cpressey> elliott: very original
13:44:10 <Taneb> elliott, are the cells bounded at TREE(3)?
13:44:32 <elliott> TREE(7) just to be sure
13:44:59 <cpressey> b_jonas: ok, i see what you're referring to -- I think this puts it in fancy-L territory -- you can't write arbitrary programs in it but you can write an interpreter for a TC language in it
13:46:20 <fizzie> Taneb: Is it the Russell & Norvig one, or something else? 
13:46:33 <cpressey> there are 6906900 eodermdromes (the oulipo kind) if I'm not mistaken.  which is cool, because that number looks a little like an eoderdrome itself (but it isn't.)

14:18:52 <oren> Suppose you have two separate syntax elements:
14:19:50 <oren> level 0 statements define, in a declarative style, the values to compute
14:20:41 <oren> level 1 statements would then in an imperative style, tell the program what order to reduce them in
14:20:46 <elliott> http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~pbl/cbpv.html
14:21:12 <elliott> uh, that's a useless page
14:21:21 <elliott> but that's sort of what call-by-push-value is except not really.
14:21:28 <elliott> but it does the explicit evaluation control thing.

14:26:16 <oren> studentt distribution? what is this madness

14:32:49 <cpressey> I don't know what an evaluation tree is, but: 1.1.2.1
14:34:39 <oren> That could work. An evaluation tree would be a tree representing a set of values whihc depend on values in their children.

15:49:24 <vanila> to be honest the codata stuff seems to me like you're syaing.. "here's a game of life interprete" and then providing a function that computes n steps of game of life
15:50:07 <cpressey> and then saying "and you can call it as many times as you like"
15:50:22 <cpressey> which is fine, programming-wise

16:11:01 <cpressey> there might be any number of conditions under which you want to consider a gol config "halted", also fwiw
16:11:06 <b_jonas> just stop the program when the cell (0,0) is live
16:11:12 <cpressey> which brings me back to Rice's theorem
16:13:30 <cpressey> might as well just define all turing machines as not being able to halt, and instead have a "scream state" which, if they ever enter it, they scream, and call it the Screaming Problem
16:14:24 <cpressey> if I have an infinite stream of codata representing the execution trace of a TM, ... that still doesn't help me tell if screams or not
16:14:50 <cpressey> So I'm very wary of Turner starting out with "it's total, which means it terminates" to "it's total, and you get infinite streams"

20:59:59 <oren> Yay, I'm this close to flooding the nuiverse with magma.
21:00:05 <oren> *universe
21:00:55 <oren> one level at a time, I'll flood it with water and magma, thus converting everything to obsidian
21:01:08 <b_jonas> oren: the whole universe, or just the surface of the planet?
21:01:19 <b_jonas> it's not so easy to flood a whole universe with magma
21:01:52 <oren> Well I have a pump stack that can bring magma or water to the highest level.
21:02:21 <oren> I need to build a second one for the other fluid
21:03:14 <b_jonas> oren: is this Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft?
21:03:24 <oren> Dwarf Frotress
21:03:28 <oren> Fortress
21:03:47 -!- ais523 has joined.
21:04:29 <oren> Once I make it self powered, I'll lock one dwarf into my life support chamber and wait a few days.
21:05:17 <b_jonas> for how long can the dwarf survive in that chamber?
21:05:32 <b_jonas> and what are the walls for the chamber made of?
21:06:44 <oren> The walls are natural obsidian except the entrance which is a long tunnel which I'll obsidianify as the first step. The dwarf would have to tunnel his way out.
21:11:57 <oren> I'm not sure it will flood the whole map, but if I switch on a waterfall of each substance at the same time, I assume it will come close. 
21:14:19 <oren> The only other guess I have as to the effect, is that a wall of obsidian will separate a vast ocean of magma from a similar ocean of water.
21:16:01 <oren> Either way it will be epic
21:16:32 <b_jonas> will you be able to find out which happens?
21:17:16 <oren> Eventually, when the second pumptower is complete.
21:18:04 <oren> First I have to modify the first one to integrate its power.
21:19:30 <b_jonas> oren: but isn't there fog of war in that game?
21:20:53 <oren> There is clouds, but above ground I can see everything.
21:21:01 <b_jonas> I see
21:21:09 <b_jonas> how large is the map?
21:21:48 <oren> I think it's something like 128 by 128 tiles
21:21:54 <oren> I haven't counted
21:21:57 <b_jonas> what? only?
21:21:59 <b_jonas> that seems small

21:46:12 <oren> They have to meet before they do

21:50:45 <oren> To reach to the top of the map
21:51:35 <oren> I need to build a tower almost 100 levels high (easy with obsidian blocks) and then build 100 magma-proof pumps
21:52:27 <b_jonas> I see
21:53:03 <b_jonas> you'll need 100 confused scrolls of enchant weapon to magma-proof that many pumps
21:54:42 <oren> For unexplained reasons, ordinary iron is magma-proof
21:55:21 <b_jonas> I see
21:56:57 <b_jonas> oren: probably because DF magma is of only 1500 K or colder temperature
21:57:13 <b_jonas> and the iron is old low tech one with a high melting point

23:38:00 <myname> since you people know haskell pretty well: is there something that is purely functional, can store things (like lists do) and support O(1) concatenation? I was thinking about something like a double linked list, but i am quite unsure
23:38:12 -!- mihow has joined.
23:38:13 <elliott> difference lists
23:38:23 <elliott> (you pay the O(1) cost in observation, though)
23:38:23 <myname> -v
23:38:27 <elliott> [a] -> [a]
23:38:32 <elliott> like \xs -> "foo" ++ xs
23:38:38 <elliott> append is composition
23:38:43 <myname> huh?
23:39:12 -!- `^_^v has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
23:39:45 <myname> isn't ++ O(n) with n being the length of the first list?
23:39:52 <elliott> you only use that for literals.
23:39:58 <elliott> you can write \xs -> 'f':'o':'o':xs if you want
23:40:06 <elliott> the point is that if you have dlists f and g you can append with (f . g)
23:40:25 <elliott> > let foo xs = 'f':'o':'o':xs; bar xs = 'b':'a':'r':xs in (foo . bar) []
23:40:26 <lambdabot>  "foobar"
23:40:38 <elliott> the Show class uses this trick as ShowS (specialised to Strings only)
23:40:43 <myname> oh!
23:40:44 <elliott> to avoid exponential build-up doing lots of appends
23:40:57 <myname> that's pretty clever
23:41:25 <myname> searching through it works like always, right?
23:42:03 <elliott> you can only observe it by passing a list to it
23:42:09 <elliott> so you pay all the append costs then
23:42:15 <elliott> but it's much better than ((xs ++ ys) ++ zs) type stuff
23:42:26 <elliott> it's good for doing lots of appends and then observing the result once
23:42:51 <myname> i think i'm actually okay with that

23:50:04 <myname> elliott: does this do the clever way of concatenation? i.e. right associative?
23:51:31 <myname> oh, it has to, if i don't ignore something obvious
23:57:14 <oerjan> elliott: did you point out to cpressey that you can do goodstein sequence in system F, and ackermann is much simpler than that.
23:57:46 <oerjan> (someone on this channel did that after we discussed that it should be possible)
23:57:52 <elliott> myname: yes; oerjan: no
23:58:17 <elliott> myname: in particular (f . g) . h and f . (g . h) both do right-associative appends.
23:58:51 <oerjan> which means that the answer to "what complexity class does that correspond to" is something at most System F / second order logic
23:59:20 <elliott> myname: you can use Endo [a], that comes with the right Monoid instance I think
23:59:38 <myname> elliott: mind explaining?
23:59:43 <elliott> or there's, like, http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dlist
23:59:46 <elliott> myname: from Data.Monoid
23:59:47 <oerjan> (those are equivalent in some sense iirc from the discussion)
23:59:50 <elliott> Endo a is a wrapper for (a -> a)
23:59:55 <ais523> at least it's not like Ursala, where «(f)(g)(h)» means (f g) h and «(f) (g) (h)» means f (g h)
23:59:58 <elliott> which has a Monoid instance that does composition and an mempty that's id

2015-02-21:

00:00:05 <elliott> which is exactly the [] and (++) analogues here
00:00:13 <elliott> and you can also use like, mconcat
00:00:23 <elliott> you can also just use functions directly though
00:05:15 <oerjan> sometimes it feels like the amount of rep i get for a stackoverflow answer is inversely correlated to the amount of work it was...

00:11:04 <myname> so... concat  xs = foldr (.) [] (map (\x -> (\xs -> x ++ xs))
00:11:14 <myname> this would be O(n)?
00:11:23 <myname> n being all list elements
00:11:47 <elliott> well, that's the same as foldr (++) []
00:11:52 <elliott> (you mean foldr (.) id but yeah)
00:12:14 <myname> oh, yeah
00:12:17 <myname> okay
00:12:38 <myname> foldl would be n^2, wouldn't it?
00:12:42 <oerjan> myname: GHC probably fuses that into something simple
00:12:57 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
00:13:10 <myname> okay
00:13:48 <oerjan> and yeah foldl is n^2 at least if it doesn't fuse, i'm not sure nowadays...
00:15:43 <myname> so, what is the advantage of using that function composition thingie instead of concat' = concat . reverse
00:16:15 <myname> you could just do foo:bar:[], couldn't you?
00:16:23 <elliott> if you just want concat you can write foldr (++) []
00:16:28 <elliott> i assumed you were doing something more complicated than that
00:17:45 <myname> i am not quite sure, i have to take a look on how often i actually have to look into that list, but as far as i know it shouldn't happen that much
00:18:00 <myname> nice to know, though
00:18:11 <oerjan> @tell b_jonas <b_jonas> but the way it is, it's not even turing complete, because there are only finitely many valid eodermdrone programs <-- you're jumping straight into our discussion of what TC means, i see

05:34:18 <oerjan> Sgeo: that tumblr site not only has too small text, but it neutralizes attempts to zoom it.  i suggest killing it with fire.
05:37:09 <oerjan> also, agreeing with me on this is mandatory hth
05:37:34 * oerjan may have waited a bit too long to eat
05:40:10 <Sgeo> *attempts to neutralize attempts to zoom it
05:40:37 <oerjan> well in IE it succeeds.
05:41:47 <Sgeo> You just made me open IE. I shall not forgive you.
05:42:27 <Sgeo> Fails for me in IE too. Where fail is defined as "not as effective as perfect neutralization would be"
05:43:01 <oerjan> i define "neutralization" as "prevents getting it to an actually readable size" hth
05:43:51 <Sgeo> I was able to increase the size, slower than I should have been able to, but it still increased each time
05:44:11 <Sgeo> Besides the images are usually the important part
05:44:34 <Sgeo> And it's the images where zoom isn't working well :/
05:44:37 <oerjan> um ok i actually meant the image hth
05:45:08 <oerjan> stupid geeks taking blathering literally
05:45:12 <Sgeo> CLicking the image then clicking the image works for me

08:21:23 <int-e> ttp://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/Krosp_I is helpful, but the story of Krosp's creation didn't reveal the creator
08:22:05 <oerjan> i looked at wikia too and got frustrated because so many references were to the novels
08:24:24 <oerjan> well krosp is seen hiding when she first meets dr. dim
08:25:28 <int-e> but he's been hiding on the airship ever since his creation, so all I read into that is that there was some convenient hiding place nearby

10:04:08 -!- devdean1 has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
10:05:21 <cpressey> oerjan: Anyway, I have to just conclude that complexity theorists don't care about the upper reaches
10:05:44 <cpressey> I can almost hear them yawn when it gets bigger than NP
10:05:45 <oerjan> cpressey: that seems likely
10:06:14 <oerjan> nah that's not true, PSPACE and EXP get a fair workout don't they
10:06:41 <cpressey> That's true, I've seen them be interested in PSPACE at least
10:08:17 <oerjan> although you could maybe make a case for "only classes not known to be larger than NP"
10:08:45 <cpressey> Not that anyone here would necessarily know offhand, but: like Ackermann is sort of the poster-child for "not in PR", are there any obvious candidates for "not in <these bigger ones defined by 2nd-order-logic ad/or PR-functionals>"?
10:08:51 <cpressey> I mean, even guesses would be fine
10:09:01 <cpressey> I'd just be a little irked if there are no "natural" examples
10:09:13 <cpressey> Not that Ackermann is particularly natural
10:09:19 <cpressey> But compared to some things, it is
10:10:17 <cpressey> Oh wait
10:10:21 <cpressey> I forgot, I don't actually care.

10:10:42 <cpressey> Nihilism is harder than it looks, isn't it

10:12:04 * oerjan whistles innocently
10:12:39 * oerjan whistles 4'33'' innocently
10:12:44 <cpressey> I just get the feeling that there's no point in me trying to understand these things, because I'm sure I never will.  This grates against the fact that they fascinate me.
10:14:02 <oerjan> i think that when you look at very small or very large complexity classes things tend to get intertwined with logic questions
10:14:54 <cpressey> It does seem reasonable, once you get above EXP and friends, to stop treating it as complexity and start treating it as computability
10:15:26 <vanila> what is the thing being investigated?
10:15:36 <cpressey> vanila: hard to say
10:15:51 <fizzie> Okay, laptop is up and keyboard is connected to phone.
10:16:02 <fizzie> Next, I need to something something something.
10:16:18 <oerjan> i'm not sure i know any problems between goodstein/hydra things and the halting problem/busy beaver stuff
10:16:35 <fizzie> What, there's no nc on Android shell.
10:16:42 <cpressey> vanila: algorithms that run a long, loooong, loooooooong time, but we still know that they eventually finish <-- very approximate way to describe it
10:17:07 <oerjan> fizzie: good man
10:17:08 <vanila> that's a really interesting topic
10:17:13 <fizzie> I can push the SSH key from the laptop to the phone (which is the only thing Internetted here), but I'm not sure how to get it to somewhere else.
10:17:21 <cpressey> oerjan: at least I know about the hydra, but I'll have to refresh myself on goodstein
10:17:23 <vanila> it can get a bit philosophical
10:17:37 <oerjan> cpressey: i think they're sort of on the same level
10:18:19 <oerjan> both are about things that can grow a lot in size but always shrink as ordinals
10:18:49 <cpressey> yeah as soon as you get to the point of needing transfinite induction to prove that it terminates... sheesh
10:19:13 <cpressey> ok, i can see why this is not a well-trodden area
10:20:42 <cpressey> I'm probably overthinking things, too
10:22:26 <fizzie> I don't get it. I pushed the files to Download/ but they're not visible there.
10:22:39 <vanila> A cool thing about the dependent type theory as opposed to something like charity is you can write programs that take a very very long time to halt
10:22:44 <fizzie> Maybe the storage indexer thing doesn't refresh from just an adb push.
10:23:26 <fizzie> Or maybe the "Downloads" list and the Download/ folder aren't a 1:1 thing at all.

12:17:15 <elliott> right. there's like, an Actual Name for it and Actual Papers. maybe "reversible grammar" or something, I don't know.
12:17:27 <elliott> you get things like, instead of fmap taking a function it takes an isomorphism

12:32:58 <vanila> I have done this in the past & suspect someone else does this 
12:33:30 <elliott> vanila: like a proper alarm or just making your computer make a lot of noise
12:33:35 <elliott> ideally it should be like, clockwork
12:33:59 <vanila> oh just the computer, but t woldnt be too hard with an adruino or something..
12:35:03 <cpressey> elliott: yes, thank you. i realize it is nothing very special, but i think it's cute too
12:37:10 <vanila> reversible parsing is very awkward
12:37:17 <vanila> parsing is not usually a bijection
12:37:27 <vanila> because of things like skipping whitespace, comments
12:37:48 <vanila> iits better to specify a parse as something that if you print it out and parse that you get the same thing
12:38:52 <elliott> on the other hand it's often kinda useful not to drop things like comments in an AST so you can do things like error reporting and code transformations without disturbing things like that (but it is awkward yeah)
12:43:44 <cpressey> maybe "a certain terrible elegance" that i referred to means "it suggests an algebra" because what is interesting me right now is, are there any operation-sets besides "parse" and "generate" that make any sense
12:44:11 <cpressey> i can only think of fairly contrived ones, and minor (relatively) variations on those two
12:44:51 <cpressey> "count terminals in grammar" is not exactly interesting
12:45:06 <elliott> the operations in http://matt.might.net/articles/parsing-with-derivatives/, maybe?
12:45:23 <elliott> (taking the derivative with respect to a token, deciding whether a grammar admits an empty string, etc.)
12:45:33 <elliott> probably not doable with the imperative recursive-descent style though so n/m

12:46:27 <cpressey> well, this code makes it abundantly clear that the RDP could be a passive data structure instead of a set of functions
12:46:30 <vanila> isnt empyness undecidable for CFG?
12:46:46 <vanila> no, its decidable
12:46:56 <vanila> so maybe it admits a notion of derivative too?
12:46:58 <cpressey> intersection of 2 being empty is, i thnk
12:47:12 <vanila> although that might let you determine equality which is undecidable..
12:47:33 <vanila> I guess there's no derivative for CFGs then
12:47:52 <elliott> vanila: that article is about derivative for CFGs
12:50:00 <vanila> :O
12:50:02 <vanila> wow
12:50:18 <vanila> i assumed it was about regex
12:50:39 <elliott> it's about using derivatives to parse arbitrary CFGs
12:54:50 <vanila> oh okay
12:54:56 <vanila> the trick is that the derivative is an infinite object
12:55:10 <vanila> so that stops you from being able to use it to determine equality
12:59:53 <cpressey> i remember coming across derivative of regular languages a few years ago; you can basically extend it to a kind of linear algebra, which is neat.  didn't realize you could extend it to CFL's
13:00:13 <elliott> vanila: well, it's infinite if the original grammar is, I think
13:00:22 <vanila> because of left recursion
13:00:27 <elliott> well, no, not necessarily, sometimes it can be finite
13:10:43 <cpressey> "There's no backtracking in the algorithm." <-- for some reason that made me interrobang
13:11:06 <cpressey> this is actually quite cool
13:11:10 <vanila> yeah!
13:16:59 <cpressey> i'm probably not understanding it entirely correctly, but it's like the memoization and fixed-point parts avert any possibility of backtracking, early on
13:17:21 <vanila> have you looked at the regex version of this?
13:17:35 <vanila> you can use derivatives of regexes to build a DFA
13:28:43 <cpressey> vanila: yes, in a book, probably about 8 years ago :/

13:29:05 <cpressey> the linear alg thing was what stuck in my mind
13:34:53 <cpressey> the no-backtracking property might mean it'd be good for parsing streams (e.g. data over a socket) too
13:56:30 <cpressey> at the end it almost sounds like they want to add some "hash-consing" to it too :)

15:01:55 <cpressey> @tell ais523 wait, doesn't it have to be the other way around? You need a mapping (O(n) or otherwise) from TMs to programs in language X, for X to be TC
15:01:55 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
15:02:55 <cpressey> If you have a mapping from at least 1 universal TM to at least 1 program in language X, X is fancy-L-complete or whatever
15:04:27 <cpressey> I don't see a lot of "naturally occurring" "compiler mappings" like these that exceed O(n log n), but it might be nice to have some contrived examples
15:11:25 <cpressey> maybe some esolang where programs have to be arranged "just so" and a compiler from-TM-to-it has to take that into account when constructing the target program
15:12:04 <vanila> you have to fit the commands into a tesselation or something, so compiling to it requires solving a NP hard puzzle
15:13:14 <cpressey> vanila: exactly, something like that
15:13:27 <cpressey> heh, there are two esolangs called "Numberwang"

15:38:24 <Phantom_Hoover> cpressey, NP-hard is definitely larger than P
15:38:58 <Phantom_Hoover> cf. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/P_np_np-complete_np-hard.svg
15:39:01 <FreeFull> NP-hard includes everything that is outside P, doesn't it?
15:39:06 <Phantom_Hoover> no.
15:39:14 <FreeFull> Ok
15:39:47 <cpressey> An EXPBLARGL program consists of a description of a Turing machine, a number k, and a Befunge program.  To run an EXPBLARGL program, first you determine if the given TM halts in k steps.  If it does, you run the Befunge program.  If it doesn't, you run 99 bottle of beer on the wall, or something.
15:40:15 <cpressey> and, uh, k must exqual the size of teh Befunge program
15:40:35 <cpressey> no, the compiler can always just pick easy TMs
15:40:49 <cpressey> maybe the Befunge program has to double as the TM description
15:41:10 <cpressey> and the only reason I chose Befunge is because I was going to choose brainfuck but then Phantom_Hoover walked in
15:41:31 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: I thought NP-hard meant >= NP-complete
15:41:51 <Phantom_Hoover> yeah
15:42:07 <Phantom_Hoover> so it includes problems which aren't in P or NP
15:42:23 <cpressey> um, is NP-complete not in NP?
15:42:32 <vanila> NP-complete is in NP
15:42:51 <cpressey> so if x is NP-hard it might be NP-complete which might (WHO KNOWS) be in P
15:43:05 <Phantom_Hoover> for a concrete example, the halting problem is NP-hard but not in NP
15:43:28 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: yes but "NP-hard but not in NP" is not the same as "NP-hard"
15:43:32 <vanila> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/P_np_np-complete_np-hard.svg NP complete is a lemon
15:44:18 <elliott> looks more like an american football
15:44:19 <Phantom_Hoover> cpressey, oh, were you talking about individual problems rather than the classes as a whole?
15:44:54 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: yes, I'm trying to make a contrived language to which you can't compile a TM in O(n log n) because ais523
15:45:01 <Phantom_Hoover> ah
15:46:27 <cpressey> I'm not sure that matters, given the diagram vanila linked to, but I don't really care

15:51:38 <cpressey> unefunge or blank would be simpler
15:52:02 <cpressey> EXPBLARGL as defined is only P-complete b/c the length is effectively given in unary
15:52:07 <cpressey> lemme try again
15:53:28 <cpressey> and, sorry, I'm going to use brainfuck because it's convenient. besides, it will give Phantom_Hoover something to blog about
15:54:11 -!- SopaXorzTaker has joined.
15:54:13 <cpressey> an EXPLBARGL program is a brainfuck program except first you interpret it as a base-8 number and call than n and then you only run it if you determine it does *not* halt in n steps
15:55:02 <cpressey> ok, EXPLBLARGL was actually a typo there, but that's fine
15:55:09 <int-e> cpressey: regarding the complexity of compiling stuff to Turing machines, how do you represeny Turing machines? If an n state Turing machine requires O(n log n) data then that should also be a lower bound for a compiler.
15:55:37 <FreeFull> cpressey: How about some sort of incremental XOR?
15:58:15 <MDude> A turing machine requires potentially unbounded memory, depending on what is to be compiled.
15:58:57 <MDude> Though I don't know if that's what you're asking.
15:59:09 <cpressey> int-e: well, the "obvious" way to me to describe a TM has length O(nm) where n is # states and m is # symbols.  but if ais523 is going to allow some tricky compression, I dunno
15:59:46 <cpressey> MDude: yeah, that's not a problem, I'm only considering compiling TMs to other languages that also have unbounded storage
16:01:15 <cpressey> sigh, EXPLBLARGL still fails
16:01:27 <cpressey> I think?
16:01:34 <int-e> cpressey: Ah I was thinking about a fixed number of symbols. How do you avoid the log n factor?
16:02:12 <vanila> wait a sec
16:02:15 <vanila> isnt this impossible?
16:02:29 <MDude> No.
16:02:30 <vanila> what about that kthing where you write an interpreter for another lagnuage, then provide your code as data
16:03:06 <vanila> the interpreter is a fixed number of characters and the data can probably be at worst a unary encoded number
16:03:15 -!- SopaXorzTaker has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
16:03:17 <cpressey> int-e: I don't see any need to avoid it myself.  I think it's ais523 who's aiming for O(n).  I'm just observing there aren't many cases where you need a compiler that is more than O(n log n)
16:03:24 <cpressey> the log n is for the symbol table
16:03:29 * cpressey waves hands a lot
16:03:45 <int-e> ah, fresh air!
16:04:22 <vanila> MDude, well?
16:04:46 <MDude> Wait, what were you asking about the impossibility of?
16:04:51 <vanila> alright
16:04:59 <MDude> Compiling things to turing machines, or compiling turing machines to other things?
16:05:23 <cpressey> MDude: compiling TMs to other things and needing more than O(n log n) time to do it
16:05:28 <int-e> vanila: Which shows that you need to be precise with the rules. Is providing extra data on the tape allowed? Of course you can prefix the interpreter by code that initialises the tape but then you /may/ run into issues with encoding the state numbers in O(1) symbols.
16:06:55 <int-e> though it's easy to devise encodings for TMs where this works (for example you can encode references to the "next" state by a fixed string)
16:07:07 <cpressey> as a (bad) example, compiling a TM to a Perl program shouldn't require more than O(n) time, where n is the length of the TM description (and yes, I'm assuming things like, the TM description is given as a table, and it starts with a blank tape)
16:09:33 <cpressey> emit prelude; for each transition in table { emit a bit of Perl with if statements and goto statements }; emit postlude /* probably not even needed here */
16:09:37 -!- TieSoul_ has joined.
16:10:07 <cpressey> prelude defines a global variable for the tape and whatnot
16:10:31 <int-e> I'd emit a TM interpreter followed by the TM description
16:10:47 <int-e> cheating? maybe, but where exactly do you draw the line?
16:10:50 <vanila> maybe the program oculd be encrypted, so to compile to something eslseyou have to decrypt it
16:10:55 <vanila> and that could require brute force
16:11:07 -!- TieSoul has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
16:11:18 -!- TieSoul_ has changed nick to TieSoul.
16:11:29 <vanila> the interpreter for the program would have to do the same decryption work of course, so it wouldnt' be a efficient programming language
16:12:17 <cpressey> int-e: not cheating at all; in fact that's O(n) too.  question is, is there any target language where you can't do it in O(n log n), even given tricks like that
16:12:42 <cpressey> s/where/into which/  maybe for clarity or maybe that makes it even less clear
16:14:00 <int-e> cpressey: Sure, take some enumeration of Brainfuck programs; encode the n-th program by the n-th fibonacci number in unary.
16:15:21 <int-e> But that's very artificial. I don't know of any natural restriction on a programming language with such an effect.
16:15:39 <int-e> Maybe compiling to a 2-counter Minsky machine would do the trick
16:16:36 <int-e> but probably that won't help either (modulo the encoding-dependent log(n) factor that I already mentioned for Turing machines)
16:17:03 <cpressey> int-e: artifical or not, that does seem to do the trick
16:20:09 <cpressey> here's to pathological, conjecture-defeating constructions!
16:20:26 <int-e> cheers
16:22:05 <elliott> cpressey: have you considered "Eightebed II" as a name for whatever this is
16:22:39 <cpressey> elliott: er well no, as it seems so, y'know, different
16:22:49 <cpressey> not really a scion of the House of Eightebed, as it were
16:23:18 <cpressey> not that that matters much, I grant
16:23:53 <elliott> I was just reacting to "pathological, conjecture-defeating constructions"
16:24:10 <cpressey> true, there's that

16:29:23 <int-e> Hmm, "mandata".
16:40:55 <cpressey> A brainfuck-like language that only runs the program if it cannot find a shorter program that outputs the same result in less than 2^n steps
16:41:33 <cpressey> still contrived, of course
16:43:20 <cpressey> but, hey, Kolmogorov.  can't beat Kolmogorov
16:46:42 <int-e> and it becomes trickier if the program gets inputs
16:47:10 <elliott> one time I looked at a book about kolmogorov complexity and it cited a person in this channel all over the place
16:47:21 <cpressey> "trickier"

16:56:59 <elliott> no. honestly I've had very little interactions with them full stop
16:57:14 <elliott> I've probably tried to solve one, like, five times.
16:57:22 <b_jonas> elliott: the best way to understand it is to take a 3x3x3 apart then
16:57:23 <olsner> elliott: there are, like, twisty-turny things inside it
16:57:47 <b_jonas> vanila: just how the algorithms work in detail and when it's worth to use what variant
16:58:00 <b_jonas> maybe I should try to implement some as a test
16:58:01 <elliott> olsner: thanks
16:58:04 <vanila> ah alright
16:58:13 <int-e> the 3x3x3 one is actually really simple. There are exactly as many moving parts as you can see (thinking of the cross in the middle as fixed)
16:58:44 <olsner> I encountered a rubik's cube that had differently shaped tiles instead of different colors, that thing really looked like it shouldn't spin at all
16:58:48 <elliott> how does the complexity of the internals scale with the size
16:58:53 <elliott> is it superexponential
16:59:09 <b_jonas> olsner: do you mean the silver mirror cube in particular, or some other variant?
16:59:27 <int-e> I got myself a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaminx recently.
16:59:28 <olsner> yep, that's the one
16:59:38 <b_jonas> elliott: hard to tell, because they can't do it for arbitrarily large size, and I think there's more than one mechanism for some large sizes
16:59:41 <int-e> it's a bit odd :)
16:59:52 <b_jonas> funnily the 3x3x3 is the most natural
16:59:58 <elliott> olsner: wow this is terrifying
17:00:00 <b_jonas> because of what int-e says
17:00:01 <elliott> the silver mirror one
17:00:06 <olsner> actually it might be *easier* to figure out how it works from a silver mirror cube
17:00:08 <b_jonas> no, it's GREAT

17:00:12 <vanila> I can't solve the rubiks cube :(
17:00:20 <b_jonas> it's a bit harder to solve than the ordinary cube, 
17:00:27 <vanila> I tried to solve it for a long time but I didn't figure it out
17:00:53 <vanila> people who have solved it: did you look up a guide or get told what to do or figure it out youreslf?
17:00:58 <b_jonas> but I wish I had had it when I was in high school, because it's possible to solve it without looking, so I could have solved it under the desk during a class while pretending to listen to the teacher 
17:01:16 <b_jonas> vanila: looked up guides, and figured out a few changes myself
17:01:41 <b_jonas> but I haven't practiced much so I still solve it somewhat slowly (and ever more slowly as I forget)
17:01:49 <int-e> vanila: I looked up guides, forgot half of them, discovered a few combinations myself, learned some from other people ... and by now I know enough to be able to solve it from scratch /in principle/.
17:02:07 <vanila> I think I could write a comupter program to solve it
17:02:18 <b_jonas> also, I'm using the third method to solve it so far
17:02:26 <b_jonas> I first learnt a very bad method
17:02:29 <int-e> (Meaning I know enough theory to solve pretty arbitrary permutation puzzles.)
17:02:50 <b_jonas> by the way, there's a channel for the rubik's cube on, um, probably freenode, let me check
17:03:02 <b_jonas> yes, freenode

17:06:30 <vanila> the thing is, the closer you get to solved.. the less freedom you have to solve it
17:06:50 <vanila> so unless it magically falls into place near the end you might as well scramble it randomly and start again
17:07:00 <int-e> vanila: the trick is to find combinations that affect as few cubes as possible.

20:28:54 <cpressey> btw, does anyone here have an ACM subscription, and if so, would you be willing to download a recent article and tell me if you think it is satirical or not?
20:30:17 <cpressey> http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2015/2/182650-in-defense-of-soundiness/abstract
20:30:18 <cpressey> fwiw
20:30:36 <cpressey> if that is a joke, the abstract is quite deadpan
20:30:53 <cpressey> and if it's not a joke, i'm slightly terrified that static analysis has come to this
20:35:25 <b_jonas> cpressey: downloaded, grab it quickly from http://russell2.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/a.pdf
20:36:33 <cpressey> thanks for lending me your copy. i'll return it forthwith
20:36:34 <cpressey> :)
20:37:22 <olsner> I thought soundness would be the other way around, e.g. completely sound = excluding all impossible executions, while not saying anything about the possible ones
20:40:28 <olsner> so an "everything is fine because I don't know that any part of your program will execute" analysis would be completely sound, but lacking in completeness?
20:42:37 <olsner> hmm, maybe it just depends on whether you're proving that a program has problems, or that it does not
20:44:24 <int-e> Without reading the article... program analysis is hard, which means that sound tools will produce lots of false positives, which means that programmers will be discouraged from using the tools.
20:46:06 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
20:46:20 <int-e> olsner: Anyway, "soundness" tends to be defined from the perspective of positive answers. So a tool is sound if, when it finds not problems, the program is correct.
20:47:11 <int-e> Hmm.
20:47:58 <int-e> Actually that should extend to definitive answers. But that leaves a lot of cases where all a tool can say is "I don't know, but this piece of code looks suspicious."
20:48:04 <cpressey> it's far more the adding of -y to a piece of mathematical terminology that freaks me out
20:48:44 <cpressey> we analyze models of programs, not programs themselves (although they are far closer to each other than, say, bridges and structural engineering calcs)
20:48:58 <int-e> maybe I should have a look after all
20:53:30 <int-e> "eval" is a nice example. Either you flag every program containing eval as dangerously wrong, or you trust the programmer.
20:57:53 <int-e> "Soundy is the new sound", well, eww.
20:58:24 <cpressey> "our analyzer is sound for Language-{eval}", is it so hard to just say that?
20:58:45 <cpressey> anywa, appears to not be a joke
20:59:11 <int-e> I think I'm more upset about the silly name ("soundy") than about the concept as such.
21:00:13 <olsner> my impression is that these static analysis tools make no attempt to be sound like that - they are very concerned about not having false positives, not concerned with being able to find all problems
21:00:36 <cpressey> false positives ARE a pain, but
21:00:46 <int-e> Yes, I believe it's all about avoiding false positives.
21:02:54 <int-e> (I also disagree with the article where it says that we know how to model features like "eval" in principle. I don't think we can say much beyond "anything may happen", which for an analysis tool is tantamount to throwing in the towel. "Loss of precision" is just a technical phrase describing this phenomenon.)
21:03:05 <cpressey> to be fair, this is not *as* bad an article as I have seen in the ACM in the past
21:04:49 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
21:05:22 <int-e> ("eval" is extreme of course. I'm a bit surprised that tools would treat it as doing nothing. For setjmp/longjmp, I guess the excuse is that people (hopefully!) only use it for exceptions, and in the case of casts, that programmers have been trained to think long and hard about them. I don't know about Java's reflection.)
21:06:53 <cpressey> eval("literal code") is obviously easy; eval(random_string()) is obviously impossible; I imagine there are a few cases (like eval("temp %s late" % foo)) where you could pick it apart; but it's probably not used frequently enough to justify it
21:06:54 <int-e> Oh and of course the performance measure for these tools is "found NNN real bugs with N false positives" rather than "missed MMM bugs".
21:08:39 <cpressey> bugs me to pieces when i see Python code like getattr(a, 'thing_' + b)
21:09:12 <cpressey> even if you've given up hope of ever running a static analyzer on it
21:09:25 <cpressey> when I see a.thing_foo in code, I expect to be able to grep for thing_foo
21:09:39 <cpressey> and have it, like, you know... show where it is defined
21:09:59 <cpressey> or used, rather
21:10:25 <int-e> Yes, that's awful.

21:17:58 <cpressey> and as I understand it, Java reflection is a bit like that - here's a string, get me the method with that name
21:20:12 <int-e> Yes. Or a class.
21:20:46 <int-e> And if you want to go wild, you can implement your own ClassLoader and generate bytecode on the fly.
21:22:42 <int-e> And you know that when it's possible, it's also done. (The keyword here is "bytecode enhancer".)
21:23:11 <cpressey> dim memories of using one of those, once
21:23:16 <cpressey> in school
21:24:01 <int-e> Another problem with Java is, things often hide behind interfaces, which are instantiated by frameworks like Spring, which means you get to browse XML files (joy!) to find what classes are actually used to implement them.

22:49:32 <Taneb> (both have very unrestrictive grammars)
22:49:52 <cpressey> Taneb: if you like, I can clarify that
22:50:01 <Taneb> Although an Underload program beginning with ++[>+++++<-] would be pretty useless
22:50:18 <Taneb> cpressey, I mean, it's like the least important thing with the language
22:50:42 <ais523> it's easy to make a BF/Underload polyglot
22:50:43 <cpressey> apparently [] are reserved in Underload, so that's one thing
22:50:49 <ais523> by using the ()! convention
22:50:55 <ais523> and ignoring the reserved characters because everyone else does
22:51:29 <Taneb> cpressey, they're required to be balanced, but brainfuck also has that restriction
22:51:44 <Taneb> Although "(" is a valid brainfuck program but not valid Underload...
22:51:55 <ais523> it's because Overload uses [] for pointers
22:52:15 <cpressey> well, assume that if it contains only +-><[]., it's brainfuck, else it's Underload
22:52:37 <ais523> (Underload is a derivative of a vaporware language, how's that for weird things to be derivatives of?)
22:52:51 <Taneb> cpressey, thus preventing the brainfuck from having any comments?
22:52:52 <cpressey> this may exclude some Underload programs, force them to be interpreted as brainfuck -- I don't care, it matters not
22:53:01 <cpressey> Taneb: yes.
22:53:13 <Taneb> ais523, I have (or had) an Ook! derivative somewhere
22:53:16 <cpressey> after all, these are not really meant to be generated by hand
22:53:27 <cpressey> this is essentially the target language of a TM-compiler
22:53:56 <cpressey> which sounds weird but is actually a central thing in computability, innit
22:55:02 <ais523> I think one shortcoming of EXPLBARGL is that it also needs exptime to /run/
22:55:20 <Taneb> +
22:55:37 <Taneb> Sorry, dropped my keyboard
22:57:27 <cpressey> ais523: you saw shortcoming, I say AWESOME
22:57:31 <cpressey> *say
22:58:03 <cpressey> my quips would have so much better delivery if I didn't typo so much
22:58:30 <Taneb> That worked even with the typo, I think
22:59:59 <cpressey> alright, maybe
23:01:00 <cpressey> it's probably very difficult to find a way to make a mapping that is hard to compute, while letting the target language itself be easy to interpret
23:01:05 <cpressey> maybe not possible
23:01:19 <cpressey> certainly beyond my current reasoning capacity
23:07:52 <cpressey> actually, a much simpler way to ensure it's outside of P would be to use int-e 's trick but replace "fibonacci" with "ackermann"
23:07:56 <cpressey> but, my god
23:07:59 <cpressey> that's a lot of ones
23:08:54 <Taneb> If you're using the ackermann function, you mayswell have it in a sensible base
23:09:05 <Taneb> log(A(5,5)) is still huge
23:09:46 <cpressey> true
23:10:01 <cpressey> also, it violate's Minsky's Maxim if you use ack
23:10:17 <cpressey> (said maxim being the mapping should be at most PR)

23:16:44 <cpressey> it's difficult for me to say, "well, the mapping is total and terminating, but it's not primitive recursive, so the language isn't turing complete"

01:05:20 <ais523> it assumes that Word documents can't have complex formatting at all
01:05:34 <ais523> which in turn, implies that whatever task you're doing, it's one for which Word is the wrong tool
01:06:04 <elliott> well, it assumes that you're okay with diffs that ignore complex formatting things most of the time

14:19:44 <boily> let me dehuge my term.
14:21:13 <elliott> I have no idea whaty ou do when you do that but it definitely doesn't make your terminal any smaller :P it's fine though I can just make my font tiny
14:23:32 <boily> I put in 80x24 for the max width and height?
14:23:49 <elliott> I mean, you can tell there's more than 80 columns and 24 rows to your terminal right now, right >.>
14:23:56 <elliott> there's 213x57 :p
14:24:09 <elliott> it's fine though I just made my font smaller and now it fits on my screen
14:24:24 <boily> aaaah. it goes with the terminal size. makes sense. tdh
14:24:37 <boily> I like my terminal to be full screen :D
14:26:13 <elliott> you could "stty cols 80 rows 24" before running ssh I guess but that'd lead to a hell of a lot of wasted space

17:38:37 <vanila> it was working a second ago
17:38:40 <vanila> and we just changed one function
17:38:43 <vanila> im totally stumped
17:42:25 <Koen_> what function?
17:42:36 <vanila> main
17:42:43 <Koen_> also did you include some .h that you wrote yourself?
17:43:01 <vanila> yes
17:43:07 <Koen_> and which you changed less than a second ago?
17:50:24 <vanila> it's really fascinating a weird way
17:50:32 <vanila> i hope i get to the bottom of it, but i really have no idea how
17:50:41 <vanila> i looked at the assembly code for the prelude of main but i cant understand it
17:53:30 <Koen_> vanila: can you show us what you changed in the .h ?
17:56:49 <vanila> i didnt change any headers
18:00:15 <Koen_> and if you put a putstr as the very first line of the main it's not printed out?
18:00:22 <vanila> yeah!

18:35:43 <cpressey> sigh, EXPBLARGL fails
18:35:52 <vanila> aw
18:36:08 <vanila> i wonder if it's theoretically impossible cpressey - maybe focus on proving that rather than making a language?
18:36:13 <cpressey> the compiler can always artificially extend the program by adding e.g. +- to the front of it, then it knows there's a shorter program
18:36:48 <cpressey> i'm sure it's not theoretically impossible, because int-e
18:37:16 <cpressey> turn brainfuck program into integer, program is ackermann of that integer
18:40:15 <cpressey> but it has sort of raising an interesting conjecture, which is
18:40:43 <cpressey> if the mapping from TM's to language X programs is complex, running programs in language X will also be complex
18:41:30 <cpressey> which sounds perfectly intuitive, but -- no idea how one would go about proving it
18:41:51 <cpressey> other things I have failed at this weekend: Agda
18:42:02 <vanila> yes I agree about the 'if mapping, then running' thing

19:16:06 <cpressey> nah, i think you could still inject some kind of "identity" instruction, then you know there's another permutation that also works
19:16:10 <cpressey> oh well

19:26:00 <cpressey> There, and elsewhere, I basically ran up against "imaginary functions" and gave up

19:32:00 <elliott> cpressey: with imaginary functions: isn't it simple enough to just to add thunk(F) where F is a function to your primitive values
19:32:05 <elliott> and have apply send thunk(F) to F
19:32:06 <vanila> they get some good results speeding up code with it
19:32:10 <elliott> not exciting, but it seems to meet your spec just fine
19:32:29 <elliott> vanila: thanks
19:32:29 <vanila> applied to pure lambda calculus, it has no effect
19:32:40 <vanila> its' only when you make special primitives with differentiation support
19:32:44 <vanila> just to spoil the ending
19:34:02 <cpressey> elliott: maybe.
19:34:44 <cpressey> i think that's occurred to me but i got too sick of it to follow up on it
19:35:13 <elliott> as in data Expr = ... | Thunk Expr | Apply Expr | ...; data Value = ... | NativeFn (Value -> Value) | Closure Env Args Expr | ThunkV Value | ...; ... eval (Apply e) = apply (eval e); eval (Thunk e) = thunk (eval e); ...; apply (ThunkV v) = v; ... thunk v | isFun v = ThunkV v | otherwise = undefined or whatever
19:35:21 <elliott> it's sorta like adding an axiom
19:35:25 <cpressey> basically you'd have a type constructor Thunk x and (apply Thunk x = x) but apply (a-real-function-value) would actually apply it
19:35:31 <elliott> yes
19:36:02 <cpressey> istr thinking there was some little bumpy inconsistency.  but if there isn't
19:36:04 <cpressey> then
19:36:49 <cpressey> yeah maybe you could invert things, or at least pretend to, to cover "for every X there is a -X" type axioms in algebraic structures
19:36:57 <elliott> I should get back into esolangs.
19:37:05 <cpressey> I should probably not.
19:37:24 <elliott> I mean, if you have, like
19:38:02 <elliott> data Unit : Set where tt : Unit; apply : forall {A} -> (Unit -> A) -> A; apply f = f tt
19:38:05 <elliott> in Agda say
19:38:08 <elliott> then you can write
19:38:18 <elliott> erm
19:38:23 <elliott> yeah
19:38:31 <elliott> hm, er
19:38:33 <elliott> never mind me
19:38:50 <elliott> probably best not to think about this kind of thing in a setting with types
19:40:38 <cpressey> I can't wrap my head around Agda.  writing a function and writing a proof are seperate things in my head, and it wants me to moosh them together
19:41:13 <cpressey> I write my theorem as....... a type?  Of a function?  Then write the proof as the body of the function?
19:41:34 <vanila> proof : Theorem
19:41:55 <vanila> values are proofs and types are propositions
19:42:07 <vanila> lambda is used to prove implication
19:42:59 <elliott> paging dr. curry-howard
19:44:29 <cpressey> Here are two very simple propositions, the
19:44:29 <cpressey> true proposition and the false proposition:
19:44:29 <cpressey> data
19:44:29 <cpressey> False : Set where
19:44:29 <cpressey> record True : Set where
19:44:31 <cpressey> trivial : True
19:44:34 <cpressey> trivial = _
19:44:43 <elliott> heh
19:44:46 <elliott> that's one awkward way to present it
19:44:46 <cpressey> indent didn't get preserved :(
19:44:50 <elliott> data False : Set where {}
19:44:56 <elliott> data True : Set where { true-is-true : True }
19:44:57 <cpressey> sign that I'm reading maybe not the best paper, huh
19:45:00 <elliott> might be clearer than that record silliness
19:45:11 <vanila> yeah elliott s way is much nicer
19:45:14 <elliott> well
19:45:17 <elliott> there are reasons to use the record one For Real
19:45:22 <elliott> you get judgemental eta
19:45:27 <elliott> but it's not exactly great pedagogically
19:46:06 <b_jonas> this sounds scary
19:46:10 <cpressey> ok, so in the above, "False" is not a value, it's a proposition.
19:46:28 <elliott> it's a value
19:46:32 <elliott> (because types are values)
19:46:32 <vanila> wellll... it's a type but types are values....
19:46:35 <elliott> False : Set
19:46:50 <elliott> think of haskell where all the levels are collapsed
19:47:03 <elliott> instead of values having types which have kinds it's just values have types (which are values)
19:47:16 <elliott> ...but not just any values! they have to be type-typed values. I'm helping
19:47:32 <cpressey> "I'm helping" is the new "hth"
19:47:49 <vanila> A good thing to try is proving thinsg with lambda
19:47:53 <elliott> you can do, like, helping : if true then Nat else Bool
19:48:03 <vanila> not geetting data types involved first
19:48:05 <vanila> imo
19:48:17 <vanila> like for example,
19:48:27 <vanila> theorem1 : (P : Set) -> (Q : Set) -> P -> Q -> P
19:48:32 <cpressey> I got as far as defining the Peano numbers
19:48:38 <vanila> P implies Q implies P
19:48:58 <vanila> and theorem2 : (P : Set) -> (Q : Set) -> P -> (P -> Q) -> Q
19:49:12 <elliott> theorem1 : forall {P Q} -> P -> Q -> P would be even better for avoiding thinking about types
19:49:38 <b_jonas> aren't there libraries for these things?
19:49:46 * cpressey gives up
19:49:56 <elliott> cpressey: if it helps at all for understanding how to write proofs as lambda terms: you use modus ponens by application
19:50:00 <vanila> im glad i helped!
19:50:15 <elliott> to prove Q from (P -> Q) and P, let's say we have proofs p-implies-q : P -> Q and p : P

19:52:06 <cpressey> one has explicit types passed to it, is all
19:52:09 <elliott> they are the same logically

19:52:23 -!- fractal has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).

19:58:06 -!- supay has joined.
19:58:37 <elliott> you can just think of "theorem1 p q" as syntax for "by theorem1, using p and q as the assumptions P and Q", so that's giving a definition for how the proof works
19:59:09 <vanila> yikes
19:59:25 <vanila> i looked up 'learn you an agda' it seems way more difficult than things need to be
19:59:39 <cpressey> vanila: well, it's only 2 pages, and the 2nd one is under construction
19:59:41 <cpressey> since 2011
19:59:43 <cpressey> so you can ignore it
19:59:47 <vanila> I can write a much simpler tutoral
19:59:51 <vanila> that is easier to learn from
20:00:24 <cpressey> the problem, one problem, is that modus ponens has a conjunction in it, doesn't it?  if p -> q, and if p, then q
20:00:38 <cpressey> i mean there are too many "ifs" in my description but
20:00:45 <elliott> ok yes it's using currying
20:00:51 <elliott> "if p -> q, then if p, then q"
20:01:04 <elliott> you can use conjunction if you want though

20:02:17 <elliott> we have that rule in agda, and we write it syntactically by putting the proof of (P -> Q) and the proof of P adjacent: proof-of-imp proof-of-P is a proof of Q

20:36:42 * int-e screams
20:37:33 <int-e> I'm reading proofs and the typesetter "corrected" "well-founded" to "well founded".
20:38:08 <int-e> (so now we have a well founded relation. great.)
20:41:30 <cpressey> i read a horror story once about a publisher "correcting" "homeomorphism" to "homomorphism" (in a paper which also contained instances of "homomorphism")
20:41:49 -!- FreeFull has joined.
20:42:57 * cpressey sighs and tries the other paper, the one that doesn't define True as a record type
20:44:19 <FreeFull> As a record type? Why?
20:44:24 <int-e> (Another ... fun ... thing is that we use \mathsf{} in our paper. The computer modern scripts all have the same x-height and work well together. With the publisher's font the sans-serif characters look *big*)
20:44:27 <FreeFull> Why would one define True with a record type?
20:45:15 <int-e> But I'm more upset about having to go through everything word by word because I expect some more nasty surprises.
20:45:30 <int-e> (At least we have no homeomorphisms.)
20:47:11 <int-e> They also changed non-variable (meaning: not a variable) to nonvariable. Isn't that great...
20:47:44 <cpressey> FreeFull: to avoid elliott 's true-is-true thing, see above
20:49:26 <cpressey> i do hope it's a well founded nonvariable

21:53:09 <cpressey> and although it would be really cool to use metamath to prove properties of functions *starting from ZFC*

15:25:31 <cpressey> burro is TC.  potro is... not.
15:25:40 <cpressey> er, s/potro/cabra/
15:25:44 <vanila> cpressey, is burro related to that video i linked
15:25:46 <cpressey> potro was the one I was looking for
15:26:09 <elliott> TC would be nice/fun but annoying
15:26:15 <elliott> probably starting with something sub-TC to figure out how it'd all even work is best
15:26:18 <cpressey> vanila: i don't generally watch videos, so, i don't know
15:27:14 <cpressey> elliott: cabra was the result of trying to cram something TC into a ring, weakening the ring axioms and getting a dioid, which works, but is relatively boring b/c dioids are not uncommon
15:27:39 <elliott> didn't you just say cabra wasn't tc
15:27:43 <cpressey> could go the other way, "weaken" TC into... that
15:27:49 <cpressey> er, well, tbh i don't remember
15:27:54 <elliott> hehe
15:28:01 <cpressey> i don't even remember what "potro" is spanish for anymore
15:28:15 <elliott> what does max on cabra programs actually do
15:28:17 <cpressey> pony, i think
15:28:31 <cpressey> max takes the one which... ran longer, i think
15:28:36 <cpressey> and discards the other

15:29:36 <elliott> 15:28:39 <elliott> butter, goat, foal apparently
15:29:37 <elliott> butter
15:29:44 <cpressey> oh yes
15:30:52 <cpressey> i remember once someone emailed me about cabra, complaining that it... abstracted to computations, but then cast it all in concrete terms of execution steps
15:31:21 <cpressey> well, yes, ok, that's a fair criticism, if that's the sort of thing you care about, i suppose
15:31:33 <cpressey> sometimes i get the feeling like i'm shouting into a paper bag
15:31:44 <elliott> i don't understand that criticism
15:33:10 <cpressey> oh wow I never markdown-ized the cabra docs
15:33:21 <elliott> yes I was reading html docs yesterday
15:33:21 <cpressey> oh, right, they have, like, superscripts and stuff in them
15:33:23 <elliott> burro's too
15:33:29 <elliott> was lots of Fun
15:33:37 <elliott> well you can just use <sup> in markdown, better than nothing
15:33:56 <elliott> by "reading html" I mean the html source, on github.

15:37:04 <elliott> cabra seems a bit close to the kind of cheating you ruled out for burro
15:37:10 <elliott> ("just do pointwise operations on the results or whatever")
15:37:22 <elliott> I guess * and + are different.
15:39:02 <cpressey> (as for the criticism, i'm pretty sure it was mostly a matter of someone not expecting to see the word "cycles" in the description of an abstract language)
15:39:21 <elliott> yes
15:39:26 <elliott> I guess your quotienting is quite weak, in effect
15:39:30 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[BytePusher]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=42008&oldid=40701 * Gamemanj * (+453) /* Programs */  Added a new program("Console Test")
15:39:31 <cpressey> "just do pointwise..."  not sure i understand
15:39:34 <elliott> you're exposing cycles rather than just taking functional extensionality or whatever
15:39:39 <cpressey> right that
15:39:47 <cpressey> extensionality, good word
15:39:59 <cpressey> well, i mean, i really couldn't think of any other way to do it, mainly
15:40:18 <elliott> https://github.com/catseye/Chrysoberyl/blob/master/data/ideas.yaml#L540 okay yeah, this thing
15:40:23 <elliott> it's not really like that though after reading more
15:40:39 <elliott> extensionality is a nice concept
15:43:33 <cpressey> maybe you could do max by running the two programs "concurrently" and selecting the one that made a "larger" result, regardless of its runtime (like, it wrote more symbols to its tape?)
15:43:49 <cpressey> or smth. haven't thought about this in ages
15:44:21 <cpressey> but yeah, that Potro idea-entry explains why it's even tricky if the functions are total
15:44:26 <cpressey> terminating, that is

15:46:47 <elliott> afaict it's a boring observation
15:46:57 <elliott> also it's not like formally true probably you could come up with other weird operations that work
15:47:00 <elliott> they might not be computable though

15:47:13 <cpressey> oh that'd be fun, though
15:47:55 <cpressey> i'm sure i had other ideas of other things to do but i keep getting distracted
15:48:26 <elliott> I mean
15:48:36 <elliott> you can probably define a TC ring programming language where the ring operations just aren't computable
15:48:41 <elliott> but it's not very exciting.

16:22:15 <mroman> It's got blackjack and hookers
16:22:20 <mroman> nothing much
16:22:28 <mroman> It's just a very, very simple language
16:28:29 <Koen__> I don't see the blackjack and hookers :(

16:34:45 <elliott> it would be cool if we stopped being gross
16:35:22 <MDude> BOOGERS
16:36:33 <vanila> I think it would be nice to have a language based on symbols other than ascii
16:36:53 <vanila> you could make an editor in javascript so pepole can use it from a webpage
16:37:38 <vanila> there was an elvish language with no example code recently.. and an arabic lisp
16:37:49 <vanila> and there's those picture based languages (colored pixels)
16:38:06 <elliott> there's that one korean fungelike
16:38:12 <elliott> fungeoid. whatever. *defers to cpressey*
16:38:27 <gamemanj> ...KlingonCode uses the Klingon alphabet, but there's no example programs...
16:38:27 <vanila> yah! things like that
16:39:16 <cpressey> https://github.com/aheui/
16:39:30 <elliott> by defer I mean as to whether it's fungelike or fungeoid
16:39:36 <elliott> it's lifthrasiir's I think?
16:39:40 <int-e> Oh RingCode. RingCode seems to be more focussed on syntax than semantics.
16:39:51 <lifthrasiir> not exactly mine, but related.
16:40:01 <elliott> your sibling's? :p
16:40:05 <fizzie> Also: UniCode.
16:40:07 <cpressey> today i feel like it should be "fungeistic".  tomorrow i will feel differently
16:40:17 <cpressey> so much for deferring to me
16:40:36 <cpressey> i was actually just impressed by the number of implementations of aheui
16:40:38 <elliott> fizzie: ;_;
16:41:06 <gamemanj> ...Well, they're all by the same account, so maybe that person is just good at implementing aheui.
16:41:33 <gamemanj> (Unless there's others not on the github page?)
16:41:52 <fizzie> Oh, and Sclipting.
16:41:53 <lifthrasiir> gamemanj, look at people tab.
16:42:05 <cpressey> gamemanj: that's an organization account, there are like 8 or more members
16:42:19 <MDude> Sarus language has a nice set of symbols, though there's also an ASCII representation.
16:42:22 <gamemanj> cpressey:Ah, I see :)
16:43:31 <cpressey> lifthrasiir: you don't happen to have a copy of the Udage spec, do you? :)
16:43:42 <MDude> There's also exactly seven of them, plus spaces. So I would encode each character as a single hex digit with one bit used for parity.
16:43:45 <lifthrasiir> not sure?
16:43:51 <lifthrasiir> I should look at the backlog
16:43:54 <lifthrasiir> to find it out
16:45:08 <cpressey> wayback machine didn't archive it when its site went down, and the wiki article is only partial: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Udage ... there is an implementation, so a spec could be reverse-engineered, sort of, if the spec is really gone
16:45:43 <gamemanj> If there's a implementation, but no spec, all that can really be done is to let the implementation take precedence.
16:46:22 <gamemanj> (Just hope the implementation doesn't have bugs that get written into the replacement spec.)
16:46:29 <cpressey> except where the implementation is "obviously" approximating things :)
16:47:39 <gamemanj> It's a esoteric language, obviously approximating is hard to define.
16:48:35 <gamemanj> If brainf*** was only defined by the implementation the old "cheating quine" would still be valid.

00:29:21 <oerjan> a bucket of flowers, that's the best gift
00:29:37 * boily twitches “/ɛ/ is not /e/!”
00:30:13 <oerjan> wait which one of those is /ɛ/
00:30:33 <oerjan> i'm not sure our french class even taught that properly
00:30:48 <boily> /ɛ/, commonly written è or ê, as in père, fête...
00:31:08 <oerjan> yes, but are you saying the -ET in BOUQUET is pronounced that way?
00:31:14 <boily> yup.
00:31:19 <oerjan> fancy.
00:31:21 <boily> /bukɛ/
00:31:52 <boily> but then, word end /ɛ/ and /e/ has mostly merged together in France French, resulting in endless grammatical errors.
00:32:01 <oerjan> technically i should have noticed that three minutes ago when i googled bouquet
00:32:16 <oerjan> although i was only looking to check the spelling
00:32:18 <boily> (much confusion going on between the future and conditional, e.g. «j'aurai» and «j'aurais»)

00:34:53 <oerjan> boily: 's ok our class never got beyond the simplest past tense anyway
00:35:24 <boily> the joys of irregular verbs ^^
00:36:36 <oerjan> which confusingly is the _opposite_ of what french calls passé simple
00:37:26 <boily> nobody (except poets) use the passé simple anymore, not even books. the third person plural passé simple lingered last, but went extinct.
00:38:11 <boily> it's all passé composé, imparfait, plus-que-parfait, and some weird subjunctive mood if you're feeling fancy.
00:40:01 <oerjan> wikipedia says the opposite
00:40:12 <boily> bin wéyons.
00:40:18 <oerjan> "Many students of French are surprised to find that even books for elementary-aged French children are written using the passé simple, even though it is only taught to learners of French in advanced classes."
00:41:07 <boily> “In modern spoken French, the passé simple has practically disappeared.”
00:41:46 <boily> “... which are rarely if ever used in contemporary French, even in writing.”
00:42:05 <oerjan> that's about the plurals
00:43:22 <boily> the French version has «À l'écrit, en revanche, le passé simple reste extrêmement vivant et productif aux troisièmes personnes du singulier et du pluriel.»
00:43:26 <boily> I stand corrected.
00:43:31 <dulla> passe simple?
00:43:54 <boily> dulla: a French verb conjugation.
00:44:49 <boily> oerjan: so both versions agree that it almost completely disappeared from oral communication, but it remains commonly written.
00:45:01 <boily> (except for regional variations.)
00:45:49 <oerjan> case solved!
00:47:29 <boily> it remains the case that I need references when I use it. for me it's all imparfait and passé composé.
00:48:00 <boily> otoc, are there any weird Norwegian conjugation variations?
00:48:07 <boily> (otoc: on the other continent)
00:49:06 <oerjan> i think the subjunctive counts as extremely archaic
00:49:56 <oerjan> there's only the present subjunctive, which is identical to the infinitive, and the only use i can think of on the spot is "leve kongen" ((long) live the king)
00:50:44 <boily> same here. «Vive le Roi».
00:50:51 <oerjan> other than that, norwegian verb forms are basically the same as english minus progressive and person/number
00:51:37 <oerjan> oh hm
00:52:09 <oerjan> in some dialects, the past participle may get inflected for gender when _not_ used with the verb "ha"
00:52:27 <oerjan> (where "some dialects" includes nynorsk)
00:54:40 <oerjan> norwegian verbs aren't very complicated.  although we also have irregular/strong verbs like synge/sang/sunget
00:55:43 <oerjan> hm actually the suffixes for "regular" verb pasts are more complicated than in english.
00:56:33 <oerjan> -et, -dde, -te are some possibilities.
00:57:40 <oerjan> mostly guessable from phonology, though.
00:58:35 <boily> we should unify French and Norwegian verbs together. je mangedde.
00:59:13 <oerjan> basically -dde is used for verbs with a vowel-ending stem
00:59:54 <oerjan> and -te is used otherwise unless the result would be hard to pronounce, in which case you use -et.
01:00:52 <oerjan> this is bokmål, nynorsk has -a, -dde, -te/-de or thereabouts
01:01:33 <oerjan> with -a occasionally being used in "radical" bokmål.
01:02:17 <boily> radical bokmål???
01:04:50 -!- AndoDaan has joined.
01:05:00 <oerjan> there's a kind of continuum from conservative "riksmål" through ordinary bokmål, via the mostly abandoned "samnorsk" which was an attempt to merge all the writing forms, via normal nynorsk and then to conservative "høgnorsk"
01:06:15 <oerjan> the radical bokmål is somewhere between bokmål and samnorsk, and it's stereotypically connected to 70s communists i think.

02:22:23 <boily> the urge to do something similar to Resplicate intensifies.
02:22:34 <boily> quintopia: speaking of Resplicate, quinthellopia!
02:22:48 <oerjan> resplicate was nice
02:29:50 <oerjan> i think it may be the simplest queue-that-contains-both-data-and-program language that i've seen proved TC yet
02:30:30 <oerjan> unlike fueue, it doesn't contain arbitrarily complicated elements.
02:30:56 <oerjan> however, it still needs arbitrarily large numbers in its elements
02:31:47 <oerjan> i don't think i've seen yet a TC queue language in which there is a strict boundary to how much data a single command can affect
02:31:56 <oerjan> *queue-only
02:32:45 <oerjan> *bound
02:34:26 <oerjan> i suppose you could _probably_ make something that emulated a chosen CA with the ability to insert new cells
02:37:57 <boily> what is the probable minimum limit on the kinds of cells in a variable width CA that would make it "interesting" and/or TC?
02:38:34 <oerjan> "variable width" is like not CA by definition
02:39:21 <boily> that's the thing :/
02:40:07 <oerjan> i am thinking in terms of "enough power to simulate a TM" here
02:40:17 <boily> what's a TM?
02:40:23 <boily> (please don't tell me it's a kind of lime.)
02:40:26 <oerjan> which means you need only CA things + the ability to extend the type

02:44:57 <oerjan> ...although i wonder if anyone has found a way to make it "halt"
02:45:19 <oerjan> as in, like, delete itself
02:45:53 <oerjan> the game of life is, however, 2d, which is rather impractical to use as target for a queue emulation.

02:49:03 <ais523> oerjan: you could create some glider reflectors at huge distance
02:49:10 <ais523> that get destroyed upon reflecting a glider
02:49:17 <ais523> then you just need a glider desynthesis that works on your TM pattern

02:54:03 <oerjan> "This insight is all the more remarkable because it preceded the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule by Watson and Crick, though it followed the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment which identified DNA as the molecular carrier of genetic information in living organisms."

14:25:06 <Taneb> ais523, I want to actually demonstrate a StackFlow MtG game at some point
14:25:11 <Taneb> What cards will I need?
14:25:23 <ais523> Taneb: b_jonas has some concerns about the construction
14:25:39 <ais523> but basically, it's just the cards mentioned in the article, plus a bunch of copy effects
14:25:44 <ais523> plus some way to loop your library
14:26:01 <ais523> also, if you plan to do this competitively, you'll need some way to stop your opponent winning until you can set the situation up
14:26:33 <ais523> there's a combo deck around somewhere which needs a lot of luck, but gives you perfect control of the gamestate if you're lucky enough that the combo gets set off
14:26:43 <ais523> wouldn't be 100% impossible that you could pull it off in a tournament
14:27:00 <Taneb> One concern a friend of mine who knows Magic better than I do raised was table space, if you need a large number of creatures
14:27:19 <ais523> you do need a large number of creatures
14:27:55 -!- SopaXorzTaker has joined.
14:28:06 <ais523> anyway, the critical cards to the combo are: Noxious Ghoul; Dralnu's Crusade; Cathar's Crusade
14:28:27 <ais523> plus you need a text-changing effect, Artificial Evolution is the one mentioned in the article, but you could swap it out with anything that changes creature types
14:28:44 <ais523> finally, you need Engineered Plague or an equivalent
14:28:58 <ais523> oh, and Rotlung Reanimator
14:29:04 <ais523> I think that's it for the cards that don't have easy substitutes
14:29:33 <Taneb> I went through the construction listed on the wiki and I have a list of needed cards, but I don't know a thing about quantities or anything I am afraid
14:29:42 -!- _AndoDaan has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
14:29:51 <ais523> ah right
14:30:02 <ais523> basically you need hundreds of copies of most of the cards; you can only run 4 in a deck
14:30:08 <ais523> so what you do is run a huge number of copy effects
14:30:12 <ais523> rite of replication is a good one
14:30:14 -!- _AndoDaan has joined.
14:30:18 <ais523> then you need to run library loop effects too
14:30:23 <ais523> so that you don't run out of cards
14:30:29 <ais523> two copies of elixir of immortality will do for that
14:31:11 -!- skj3gg has quit (Quit: ZZZzzz…).
14:31:45 <ais523> Taneb: so basically what you actually need, if you have infinite time to set up
14:32:01 <ais523> is all the cards listed on the wiki, plus rite of replication, plus two copies of elixir of immortality
14:32:11 <ais523> actually I think you can make do with one?
14:32:18 <ais523> also, plus enough land to get this started
14:32:33 <ais523> I recommend running an infinite mana combo too
14:32:44 <ais523> (my favourite is izzet guildmage + three copies of rite of flame, but there are tons)
14:33:54 <ais523> anyway, bear in mind that that construction will take a long, long time to set up
14:34:11 <ais523> I'd guess it'd be on the order of 1000 creature and enchantment tokens just to start the thing off
14:34:44 <ais523> anyway, b_jonas is right in that the triggers for "pop" actions can stack in the wrong order

02:29:00 <AndoDaan> Hmm. That could work. I'm figuring the indicator is weakly controlled by the input stream and several other hidden data streams.
02:30:20 <boily> considering my constant RNG abuse, I wouldn't touch that language without a 10' mapole.
02:31:01 <AndoDaan> Are you the abuser or the abusee?
02:31:26 <AndoDaan> I guess abusee.
02:33:10 <boily> I guess all roguelike players fear good events; they always mean something very nasty is juuuust around the corner, patiently waiting for a very painful, sudden and cruel demise.
02:34:49 <AndoDaan> Climb happy monsters.
02:35:53 <AndoDaan> I'm thinking of soup... crawl soup? Is that roguelike game?

14:16:27 <myname> so... how do i compile stuff in cabal in a way that error messages are actually useful? i.e. file and line number or the like
14:22:55 <int-e> ?
14:23:45 <int-e> Perhaps you want  cabal -j1  or find the actual log files (I believe cabal prints log file locations when it fails to compile a package.)
14:23:58 <myname> compiling works fine
14:24:01 <myname> i get runtime errors
14:24:31 <int-e> then cabal is no longer involved. it's all up to ghc and its runtime
14:25:13 <myname> well, i thought i could tell cabal to tell ghc to make stack traces on errors
14:26:53 <int-e> there is limited support for getting stack traces if you compile libraries and executables with profiling information. https://wiki.haskell.org/Debugging#Stack_trace

10:32:49 <b_jonas> oren: um, that doesn't work. there's a good reason why there has to be different speed limits in different places and for different vehicles.
10:33:15 <oren> No I  mean if it currently is 30 km/h change it to 30 Kim/h
10:33:18 <b_jonas> like, why highways have a higher speed limit than towns
10:33:24 <b_jonas> what?
10:33:29 <oren> kibimetres
10:33:31 <b_jonas> oh...
10:33:35 <b_jonas> ugh
10:34:08 <b_jonas> so basically you just want to raise the speed limits
10:34:23 <oren> by 2.4 percent
10:34:31 <b_jonas> that happens anyway, but less often (say once every two decades) and by higher amounts, as vehicles get safer
10:35:21 <b_jonas> well, actually
10:35:25 <b_jonas> it goes both directions
10:35:46 <b_jonas> the town speed limit got lowered from 60 to 50 here, but the highway limit got raised form 120 to 130
10:35:52 <b_jonas> more than a decade ago now

11:09:09 <b_jonas> oren: ask ais523 (he might not have exactly that, but he might still be able to help in what you want)
11:09:53 <oren> Hmm... maybe i can write a perl script that does mostly what I want
11:11:07 <oren> but then I'd have to complicate my makefiles
11:11:35 <b_jonas> technically it's not really easy to include just your files, because what files you include could depend on macros predefined by your compiler (depending on architecture) or defined in headers, but if you know you don't do conditional includes like that then it might be possible
11:13:40 <oren> well, of you have a sequence like #ifdef windows #include file #endif then the included text will be cut out anyway, right?
11:16:03 <b_jonas> oren: yes
11:16:14 <b_jonas> oren: technically you can have indirect incldues, but few people use those

12:17:33 <b_jonas> I have recently fixed an error in my terminal font
12:17:56 <b_jonas> I found out that lowercase u with brevis and u with ring were drawn too wide, a mistake I haven't noticed before 
12:17:57 <oren> http://s2g.jp/font/index.htm It is called S2Gらぶ
12:18:19 <b_jonas> this font (I hope it has the updated version there) => http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/fecupboard20-c.pcf.gz
12:18:34 -!- Tritonio has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
12:19:00 <b_jonas> but at least it's my font so it was easy to fix
12:19:21 <b_jonas> it was worth to make my own rather than try to switch all the time after I find each other terminal font sucks
12:19:43 <b_jonas> (this is a bitmap font so it was easy to draw, much easier than graymap fonts generated from vector fonts)

12:23:28 <oren> Here is the font (in a bullshit adhoc format) which I used in one of my games: http://postimg.org/image/tjxgpkkj5/
12:29:21 <oren> Ommitting distinction between identical characters makes it easy to have greek, cyrillic and latin.

12:48:21 <oren> dayyum.
12:49:20 <b_jonas> oren: that looks nice
12:50:10 <b_jonas> oren: why are the digits 4 and 5 and a few other chars partly gray instead of black and white
12:51:03 <b_jonas> oren: hmm, those greek letters are in a strange order
12:51:03 <mroman> wait
12:51:08 <mroman> hReady returns IO Bool
12:51:09 <b_jonas> is there a mapping table to this?
12:51:13 <mroman> but it fails when nothing is ready
12:51:13 <mroman> so
12:51:17 <mroman> it either returns True or Fails?
12:51:28 <mroman> that's pretty fucking stupid
12:52:16 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
12:52:28 <b_jonas> oren: and what is the character in the 0x80 position?
12:52:39 <b_jonas> what's it supposed to represent?
12:53:05 <FireFly> I guess full block
12:53:17 <FireFly> wait, 0x80, not 0x7F
12:54:02 <oren> THe 0x80 is  a diamond, representing energy credits.
12:54:17 <b_jonas> I see
12:54:17 <oren> or at least it would if I had finished the damn game
12:54:55 <oren> the greek letters are in a pseudo-enlish order with the big letters put in wherever they fit
12:55:10 <b_jonas> I wonder what game is it that requires these particular letters
12:55:28 <FireFly> The diamond reminds me of the statement separator in APL
12:55:35 <b_jonas> FireFly: isn't that a small diamond?
12:55:54 <FireFly> It's looked fairly large in the fonts I've seen, but I don't know
12:56:30 <oren> It was going to be a futuristic RTS with units named in Russian, japanese, and greek (for the aliens)
12:56:53 <b_jonas> oren: but only all uppercase russian?
12:57:41 <oren> right. Because in novaya rossiya, they are CAPITALIST NOW! 
12:57:52 <oren> huahhahaha
12:58:04 <b_jonas> oren: what about the gray stuff?
12:58:37 <oren> the gray is an error that my program doesn't care about for some reason
12:58:41 <b_jonas> and which glyph represents Э
12:59:20 <oren> 3
12:59:29 <b_jonas> ah
13:00:02 <b_jonas> I figured your W stands in for Ш
13:00:30 <b_jonas> does 4 stand for Ч then?
13:00:49 <oren> yup
13:00:58 <b_jonas> ok
13:01:15 <oren> I make economical use of code space unlike those unicode wastrels
13:01:37 <b_jonas> and what char does the glyph at 0xa1 represent?
13:02:18 <oren> 1/0
13:02:41 <b_jonas> oh! I thought we had an infinity glyph for that
13:02:46 <b_jonas> ok
13:03:13 <oren> infinity is kind of hard to make half-width.
13:03:39 <oren> So i improvized a substitite
13:03:39 <b_jonas> sure, it looks ugly in all the 9 wide fonts
13:03:55 <vanila> half of infinity is still infinity
13:03:56 <b_jonas> but cp437 still has it, even if it's ugly
13:06:03 <oren> yah. I included only 2 kanji: 日 and 月 which are used in dates
13:06:08 <b_jonas> the slash character seems ugly
13:06:39 <oren> yah it's jagged. needs anti-aliasing
13:07:09 <oren> or maybe to be less high
13:08:52 <FireFly> You could make infinity two characters wide (though I guess you're starved for space as it is already)
13:09:08 <FireFly> Is 0xFF nabla?
13:09:31 <FireFly> wait, not nabla.. partial derivative
13:09:35 <oren> partial derivative. 
13:09:52 * FireFly wonders what that would be used for in an RTS
13:09:58 <b_jonas> are the characters at 0xf5, 0xf6, 0xf7, 0xf8 supposed to represent ∈∪∩⊂ ? if so, they seem to be raised too high I think
13:10:24 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes, it's partial
13:10:44 <oren> hmm... yeah maybe they are a lil high
13:11:11 <b_jonas> and what's at 0x9b ?
13:11:58 <FireFly> Reminds me of the japanese postal mark
13:12:02 <oren> japanese postal sign.
13:12:10 <Melvar> oren: I would have expected 3 to be used for З. As it is your З looks more like a 3 than your 3 does.
13:12:11 <b_jonas> ah
13:12:38 <FireFly> I agree
13:12:38 <oren> It was going to be 年 but i couldn't get it small enough
13:13:20 <oren> on paper i write my 3's like that
13:14:05 <oren> in fact all those numbers are how i write them on paper
13:14:41 <b_jonas> oren: you write dotted zeros?
13:14:42 <b_jonas> wow
13:14:50 <b_jonas> and underscored ones
13:14:54 <oren> yeah
13:15:30 <Melvar> And uncurly twos.
13:15:55 <FireFly> I write underscored ones when I want to emphanize it is a one
13:15:56 <b_jonas> is there an ö glyph? 
13:16:13 <Melvar> And angular fours and fives.
13:16:44 <b_jonas> I expect there should be one if there's what looks like an ü and an å
13:17:18 <FireFly> Or better yet, separate the diacritics from the symbols and use overstriking
13:17:19 <oren> yeah. that would be better than quite a few of those charcters
13:17:52 <oren> overstriking ftw.
13:18:05 <FireFly> Speaking of which, I learned yesterday that `less` will interpret A^HA as boldface A and _^HA as underlined A
13:18:15 <FireFly> Which is how man communicates these to less
13:18:27 <oren> wow. cool
13:18:28 <FireFly> Funny how traces of overstriking still remains
13:18:29 <b_jonas> an ä could help too
13:18:35 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes
13:18:36 <FireFly> remain*
13:19:21 <oren> yeah, overstriking is probably the way to go
13:19:30 <b_jonas> I prefer not to limit myself to 256 glyphs, so my font has over two thousand characters, and even a very few identical pairs (mostly just multiple completely empty ones)
13:19:52 <FireFly> do you use your own monospace font for everyday use?
13:19:59 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes, in terminals
13:20:04 <oren> I'm using it right now
13:20:07 <FireFly> Is it public anywhere?
13:20:16 <b_jonas> FireFly:  => http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/fecupboard20-c.pcf.gz
13:20:20 <b_jonas> Fecupboard20 (free X11 bitmap font with 20x10 pixel character cell, easily distinguishable characters, great for terminals and programming, has all characters in iso-8895-1 and 8859-2 and more) 
13:20:46 <oren> well, in this terminal anyway. the other one is still on that crazy-ass klingon looking font
13:20:53 <b_jonas> hmm, I should update that short description 
13:21:08 <FireFly> I'm fairly happy with the font I currently use, but curious what it looks like either way
13:21:09 <Melvar> b_jonas: Does it have l with belt?
13:21:12 * FireFly checks
13:21:30 <oren> ł
13:21:31 <b_jonas> Melvar: I don't think so... let me check
13:21:33 <oren> yup
13:21:45 <b_jonas> oren: what? isn't that the crossed l?
13:21:53 <Melvar> oren: That’s l with stroke.
13:21:57 <oren> oh
13:21:59 <b_jonas> l with belt is ɬ
13:22:21 <b_jonas> it certainly has ł
13:22:46 <b_jonas> fecupboard20 is supposed to have all characters required for all major European languages that are written in the latin script
13:22:55 <b_jonas> so it must have ł
13:23:35 <oren> doesn't look like in has that curly thing l
13:24:55 <b_jonas> yes, definitely doesn't have l with belt
13:26:31 <b_jonas> is l with belt used only as a pronunciation symbol?
13:26:49 <Melvar> I’m happy with DejaVu Sans Mono. I particularly like the l in it, and moreso that all the variants have the same shape because it has all of them, except turned l.
13:27:14 <Melvar> b_jonas: I believe it’s only used in IPA, yes.
13:27:34 <b_jonas> ok, then that's why I don't have it. I've added only a few of the characters that are used only in IPA
13:28:17 <Melvar> A consequence of this is that there is no uppercase version, since IPA uses only lowercase and caseless letters.
13:28:26 <FireFly> This font reminds me of MS DOS for some reason
13:28:38 <FireFly> Fecupboard20, that is
13:28:51 <b_jonas> FireFly: yes, some of the pc fonts have inspired me
13:29:05 <oren> It is quite similar to the one in MS DOS (which i recently installed on an old computer to play DOOM)
13:29:11 <b_jonas> I've observed at least three different 9x16 fonts before I made this 10x20 one
13:29:21 <b_jonas> oren: there's no _one_ font in MS DOS
13:29:34 <oren> I mean the default one then
13:29:40 <b_jonas> there's various ones hard-coded in VGA cards
13:29:44 <b_jonas> at least three different ones
13:29:55 <b_jonas> all with cp437 encoding and very similar
13:30:01 <b_jonas> but different in the details
13:30:36 <oren> well Iwasn't around in the old MS DOS days so you'd know better than I
13:30:46 <FireFly> Funny, the l with belt renders just fine for me and doesn't look out-of-place compared to the other glyphs.. I guess it happened to fall back to a similar font
13:30:47 -!- ais523 has joined.
13:32:07 <oren> I do like that way `works with' to make quotes
13:32:26 <ais523> it really depends on the font
13:32:39 <ais523> they don't look very similar in the one I'm using
13:32:52 <oren> In b_jonas's font it works, is what I mean
13:32:52 <b_jonas> hello, ais523
13:33:01 <ais523> hi b_jonas
13:33:23 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
13:33:50 <b_jonas> ais523: we were talking about fonts, and in particular this crazy one with a custom encoding by oren: http://postimg.org/image/tjxgpkkj5/
13:34:43 <ais523> a custom encoding that is nonetheless almost consistent with ASCII
13:34:48 -!- FreeFull has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
13:34:49 <oren> the custom encoding is mostly designed so I can write the actual strings in latin and then shift ehm by varying amounts
13:34:52 <ais523> (having a printable character where newline should be is a problem, though)
13:34:55 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, it's certainly consistent with ascii
13:34:56 <FireFly> It looks like an extended ASCII variant to me
13:35:10 <b_jonas> ais523: um no, it's not a problem for cp437 either
13:35:22 <b_jonas> becuse the newline is transformed by the terminal layer and never gets into video memory
13:35:54 <b_jonas> (similarly how having a printing character at the position of space isn't a problem for TeX's oT1-encoded fonts, because the TeX engine emits a glue rather than a character when you type space)
13:36:04 <ais523> right
13:36:20 <oren> Like I write @amma and it becomes Γαμμα
13:36:53 <oren> whoops I mean `amma
13:37:09 <b_jonas> ah, that explains the positions of the russian uppercase things

13:38:45 <b_jonas> Melvar: my font has l, l with caron, l with acute, l with slash out of those
13:38:47 <FireFly> Those are all supported by DejaVu Sans Mono?
13:38:51 <b_jonas> (and maybe something else, I don't know)
13:38:51 <ais523> Cyrillic, presumably
13:38:54 <ais523> rather than Russian specifically
13:39:03 <b_jonas> ais523: I do mean Russian
13:39:05 <Melvar> FireFly: No, that’s just all of them I could find at all.
13:39:11 <FireFly> Ah
13:39:28 <ais523> I tried to learn cyrillic, but it has too many vowels :-(
13:39:31 <b_jonas> ais523: look at oren's font, it only has glyphs for russian uppercase letters, not for the letters used in macedonian or serbian
13:40:19 <b_jonas> ais523: there's some tricks, namely how in that font 34W stand for the russian letters (which wasn't obvious to me at first)
13:40:26 <b_jonas> so there's no other glyphs for those
13:40:55 <ais523> oh, like the beta in CP437 which is also an ß
13:41:02 <b_jonas> ais523: yes
13:41:36 <b_jonas> ais523: also this doesn't have a russian F because the cyrillic one stands for it
13:41:44 <Melvar> FireFly: Excepting ones that are particularly simple l with an accent; I didn’t list those.
13:41:46 <b_jonas> um
13:41:47 <b_jonas> sorry
13:41:48 <ais523> apparently, some typewriter keyboards don't have a 0 or 1
13:42:06 <ais523> because they can use O and I instead
13:42:06 <b_jonas> it doesn't have a russian F because the greek Phi stands for it
13:42:06 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, but it's O and l actually
13:42:17 <ais523> oh right, lowercase l
13:42:23 <Melvar> lľŀłƚȴɭˡᶅᶩ are the ones of that list in DejaVu Sans Mono.
13:43:44 <Melvar> No, wait, actually more, but weechat fails to display them because they aren’t listed in whatever lib resource that one thing was.
13:45:36 <Melvar> And ʪʫ are actually in it but the l parts don’t have the usual shape; it probably doesn’t fit in a cell well enough.
13:48:58 <FireFly> I guess that works for presentational purposes, but it can't be fun to try to analyse/deal with text where a particular glyph could represent multiple characters
13:50:50 <FireFly> I tried to make a 3px-high font once, it didn't go terribly well
13:51:01 <FireFly> http://xen.firefly.nu/up/pixfont/index.html
13:51:58 <b_jonas> FireFly: heheh
13:54:08 <FireFly> I decided to disregard case, which is something I usually strongly dislike, because at that scale there isn't much choice
13:55:09 <b_jonas> FireFly: just add a colon before each uppercase letter
13:55:40 <vanila> this is a good way to generate an alphabet maybe
13:55:57 <FireFly> b_jonas: I meant more the way I use lowercase b and n
13:55:59 <vanila> just create a set of small bitmaps that are visually as far apart as possible
13:56:17 <b_jonas> vanila: yes, people have tried that
13:56:21 <b_jonas> in various ways
13:56:31 <vanila> id like to see some of the results
13:56:43 <vanila> is there a link?
13:57:36 <b_jonas> but I for am a typogeek and care about the text looking very similar to existing beautiful texts, rather than inventing something entirely new

14:41:13 <int-e> FireFly: it'd be hard to surpass several decades of training, that's certain. but in principle, I guess you can recognize larger patterns the same way you'd do with english text.
14:41:58 <int-e> so tricky to predict. one should do this with more versatile features than squares.
14:43:48 <int-e> one criticism I'd have is that in isolation, a,b,c,d,e all look the same. that's quite awful.
14:43:57 <FireFly> Yeah, that was mostly what I was thinking of
14:44:13 <FireFly> Having to judge distance between objects to read seems bad

15:56:39 <Melvar> FireFly, int-e: I am reminded of one thing that someone proposed dotsies were good for: Writing Lojban into five-block-high walls in Minecraft.
15:58:18 <MDude> There is one problem I ahve with dotsies.
15:58:19 <FireFly> Good point
15:58:47 <MDude> And this is that it uses a special character for full stops that breaks the pattern it uses.
15:58:51 <FireFly> Maybe I should learn to read it.. I could see it being useful in some circumstances with very limited resolution, like that
15:59:12 <MDude> When really, it could ahve just gone with a solid, fife-dot line instead for that purpose.
15:59:18 <Melvar> (With the additional fun that Lojban’s root words are five letters long, so they become 5×5-block squares.)
15:59:55 <MDude> As it is, you can't use punctuation with it as all if you're actually displaying it at minimal resolution.
15:59:59 <Melvar> (And that Lojban doesn’t strictly require any punctuation.)
16:00:08 <FireFly> What about '?
16:00:38 <FireFly> I mean, it isn't punctuation in Lojban, but you need it as well, no?
16:00:57 <Melvar> FireFly: Using the h-dotsie should be fine.
16:01:25 <FireFly> I suppose so, yeah
16:01:29 <Melvar> I mean the only reason ' isn’t h in the latin orthography is that it’s supposed to be “light”.
16:02:47 <Melvar> (Basically, it’s unlike any other consonant in that it can only appear between vowels and usually doesn’t count for purposes of general word-shape validity.)

16:22:06 <b_jonas> ais523: wait, I want to show something to you as well
16:22:28 <b_jonas> ais523: http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/ccache.png
16:23:06 <b_jonas> ais523: I did a measurement on how quickly my computer can read memory. the goal was to show the impact of the L1 cache and the L2 cache. that much works:
16:23:26 <ais523> b_jonas: you're reading the same area of memory over and over again, I take it?
16:23:30 <b_jonas> yes
16:23:59 <b_jonas> on the left third of the diagram, I read from the L1 cachce, so the speed is bound by executing the instructions, not by the memory loads
16:24:14 <b_jonas> this shows that this computer has 32 kibibytes of L!h1 cache
16:24:21 <b_jonas> of L1 cache
16:25:11 <b_jonas> the middle third of the diagram shows reading from L2 cache, there the speed is bound mostly or completely by the speed of that cache.
16:26:00 <b_jonas> there's 2 mebibytes of L2 cache in this machine, but the speed starts getting worse below that, because this is ran on a multitasking OS which does stuff other than running this program, and switches often enough that the program can't use the L2 cache fully
16:26:12 <b_jonas> this much is what I expected.
16:26:45 <b_jonas> The surprising part is the right third, where the speed is bound by the read speed of the main memory. 
16:27:34 <b_jonas> You can see that there are two different possible speeds, one around 4.5 GiB/s and one around 4 GiB/s. That diagram doesn't explain why there are two speeds, and it took me a while (and some experiments other than looking at this diagram) to figure out the reason.
16:27:40 <b_jonas> Can you guess the reason?
16:31:32 <vanila> These graphs are wonderful
16:31:51 <b_jonas> thanks
16:32:24 <ais523> b_jonas: NUMA?
16:32:46 <b_jonas> ais523: no. this is my old home computer and definitely doesn't do NUMA.
16:32:48 <int-e> b_jonas: would the density of the 4.5GB/s be about 1/3 of the 4GB/s line? (so 1/4 vs 3/4 total)?
16:33:09 <ais523> maybe not intentional NUMA, but I'd expect some of the cores would be closer to certain parts of memory
16:33:18 <b_jonas> int-e: no, the 4.5 GB is denser, but that's a red herring
16:33:42 <int-e> b_jonas: oh. right. reading it wrong.
16:34:12 <b_jonas> ais523: I don't see how that would happen because there's only a single memory card (512 MiB size) and a single intel CPU chip with two cores
16:34:18 <int-e> "old" ... upgraded memory?
16:35:25 <b_jonas> ais523: and even still, the measurements for that part of the grpah take two or three seconds, so if it depended on the cores I'd expect to see intermediate results where the process is placed to another core during a run,
16:35:35 <int-e> My ideas would be alignment of reads, and actually different memory behavior in different address ranges.
16:35:40 <b_jonas> but there don't seem to be such things, or only one or two in the thousands of run
16:36:17 <ais523> I know that at least on Linux, processes tend to stay pegged to one core unless there's a good reason to move
16:36:32 <b_jonas> int-e: all the reads are 64-byte aligned, so if alignment matters it could be through affecting whcih L2 cache lines are emptied, but that's unlikely to show up on the rightmost part of the graph, or through page caches
16:36:54 <b_jonas> ais523: hmm... ok, then maybe you could suppose it's related to cores
16:40:52 <b_jonas> int-e: or, I guess, alignment could perhaps matter for how the bits are layed out on the memory chips
16:41:17 <b_jonas> however, I don't see how that could result in two so different discrete constant speeds even for the longest (64 megabyte long) memory reads
16:53:45 <int-e> Too many unknowns. I'd like to know which processor, I'd like to see the code, I'd like to see kernel events (any frequency scaling?), I'd probably spend a bit on the actual machine code (any funny loop unrolling?); lots of things to poke at with no clear idea.
16:54:13 <b_jonas> Here's a clue: all the results I got in the first hour of the experiment were the slower speed, and all the results in the following two hours are of the higher speed.
16:54:17 <b_jonas> int-e: wait, I can tell you some of the bit
16:55:04 <b_jonas> int-e: the cpu is an intel Core2 6300 1.86 GHz
16:55:26 <b_jonas> I can show you the source code and the assembled code because I've looked at it myself
16:55:56 <b_jonas> there's some extra register moves that the compiler left in and that are probably pointless
16:57:51 <b_jonas> the loop unrolling is manually done by me, I read 256 bytes in each loop iteration
16:58:10 <b_jonas> the compiler kept that, it's just reordered whcih order the 16 reads happen
17:02:15 <int-e> hmpf, now I want to make a "hot cache" joke (they make things go fast)
17:03:31 <b_jonas> int-e: here's the program, the compile options, and the assembly: http://dpaste.com/04KPY18 http://dpaste.com/1CTY8S8 http://dpaste.com/3F6YPN7
17:04:04 <b_jonas> int-e: in the assembly program, the relevant loop starts at the label .L94
17:04:59 <b_jonas> you can see that it does the 16 memory reads, each 16 bytes long, and no other memory access
17:05:30 <b_jonas> (well, apart from accessing the page table, page table caches, and code cache of course)
17:10:22 <int-e> Yes. I did think of the page tables, but I believe the effects caused by those are hidden in the noise.
17:11:22 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
17:11:53 <int-e> (there aren't enough accesses to explain a 10% difference; besides the allocation is so big that the libc should request 4MB pages anyway)
17:12:02 <int-e> (making the effect even smaller)
17:12:26 <b_jonas> int-e: the problem with the page tables is that the intel manuals don't give any details about how the page table cache in their cpus work. they mention that the page table cache exists, but calls it somethign else, not page table cache.
17:12:44 <int-e> translation lookaside buffer, tlb
17:13:02 <int-e> not sure I got the middle word correct
17:13:18 <int-e> but I did, apparently
17:15:06 <int-e> and yes, tlb's are secret sauce in intel processors - all automatic and therefore deeply magical.

17:16:50 -!- ProofTechnique has joined.
17:21:11 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
17:34:59 <b_jonas> yes, I think it's called TLB
17:36:20 <int-e> Anyway, the effect of TLBs may be larger than I thought (it's hard to say; there's prefetching magic that will hide a lot of latency), but I don't see how it could be so uniform.
17:38:41 <b_jonas> int-e: the prefetching magic certainly matters to increase the speed of these kinds of loops, because they mean that even without explicit prefetch instructions the memory load throughput will always be used to the full, rather sitting idle half the time and then acting only when the load instruction is issued
17:39:30 <b_jonas> this matters especially in the L2 cache case, the middle part of the diagram
17:39:32 <b_jonas> I think
17:40:04 <int-e> (The theory would be that at some point, enough contiguous memory is free that the program can allocate its buffer in one contiguous chunk in memory that can be described with just a few pagetable entries. but I'd expect more noise between the two lines.)
17:40:14 <b_jonas> I don't know how that interacts with the page cache, or whether the page cache is ever speculatively fetched though
17:40:52 <int-e> It also depends on the machine being heavily loaded (at least memory-wise)
17:41:38 <int-e> Oh well. Time to go home. Laters
17:43:42 <b_jonas> in theory, if the page cache mattered, you could see that a third step in the stairs, but it's a very small step so it might be hidden by the noise, and it might be very close to the step from L2 cache to main memory, so it could be masked
17:43:57 <b_jonas> I don't know how the page cache really works, so I can't really tell what to expect
17:46:31 <b_jonas> anyway, I deliberately chose _sequential_ memory reading, rather than random access, so that the prefetcher and speculative execution can do its best, and so that the page cache doesn't matter much
17:47:21 <b_jonas> (technically it's not completely sequential, because the four lines in each loop iteration aren't read in the right order, but it's sequential if you're looking at it in larger scale)
17:47:53 <b_jonas> I'm leaving too, if you want to know the solution, I'll tell you in the evening.

22:07:51 <b_jonas> int-e, FireFly: ok, telling answer now
22:08:02 <b_jonas> the difference was because of the video card built in to the motherboard
22:08:15 <b_jonas> the setting was such that after about an hour, the screen was blanked
22:08:25 <int-e> ah, ow.
22:08:37 <b_jonas> before that, the video card had to read the ten megabyte sized screen buffer fifty times per second
22:09:02 <b_jonas> sixty times per second in fact
22:09:16 <b_jonas> [ 1920*1280*4*60 NB. bytes per second
22:09:16 <j-bot> b_jonas: 589824000
22:09:18 <int-e> Right. That never happened to me; I buy "proper" graphics adapters.
22:09:33 <b_jonas> ^ that's the half gigabyte per second difference
22:09:46 <int-e> Nice trap. Thanks for sharing.
22:10:07 <b_jonas> I later measured to verify this by deliberately blanking the screen then resuming, and got consistent results
22:11:07 -!- arjanb has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
22:11:34 <b_jonas> int-e: if the proper graphics adapter uses a separate memory from the main ram, don't you pay for that because then the cpu can access that ram slower?
22:12:33 <int-e> hmm, but at least they're separate buses though, and I only pay for that when updating the screen.
22:13:07 <b_jonas> int-e: yes, that's true, which would make a difference in this case
22:13:12 <int-e> (I also don't use a compositing manager)
22:13:25 <int-e> (so the math is all different)
22:14:14 <b_jonas> the screen was barely touched in this case, so a separte video card would certainly make it easy
22:14:18 <FireFly> Heh
22:14:59 <b_jonas> the fun part is that I still pay for the video card when the display is turned off with its power button
22:15:45 <b_jonas> of course, in this case just buying a more modern machine would double the memory speed, which would count for much more than anything about the video card
22:16:27 -!- augur has joined.
22:17:45 <int-e> but it'd still be 5%
22:18:07 <b_jonas> 10% actually
22:18:17 <int-e> you should lower the screen resolution to 640x480 ;-)
22:18:31 <b_jonas> int-e: or switch to text mode, or lower the resolution and the refresh rate too
22:18:38 -!- augur has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
22:18:42 <b_jonas> switching to text mode might be the most practical
22:19:12 <b_jonas> well, not quite
22:19:32 <b_jonas> putting the slow computations to faster server machines I have access to rather than my home machine is the most practical
22:20:04 <b_jonas> it's exactly because I don't do tasks that need lots of computations on my home machine why I haven't bought a faster home computer yet
22:20:21 <b_jonas> when I'll need fast computations, I'll just buy a modern machine with lots of RAM
22:21:53 <int-e> The whole thing is funny. If you listen to John Carmack, he's saying that the unified memory for GPU and CPU is going to win. But he's interested in high-end graphics, where the bottleneck is getting all the data for the next frame to the GPU.
22:22:22 <b_jonas> I see
22:22:43 -!- ^v has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
22:22:54 <b_jonas> I don't do GPU programming, so I don't really have an opinion on this. I'm more interested in how I can do more efficient computations on the CPU.

22:23:09 -!- ^v has joined.
22:23:13 <b_jonas> That's why I'm trying to understand how the CPU accesses memory and how its caches work.
22:23:24 <b_jonas> (And also other stuff about CPUs.)
22:24:32 <int-e> Oh, and let's do the same math for a 4K resolution.
22:24:42 -!- GeekDude has joined.
22:24:46 <int-e> (ouch)
22:25:51 <b_jonas> int-e: machines with 4K resolution probably have a twice faster ram than this one
22:25:56 -!- augur has joined.
22:25:56 <b_jonas> even my work machine has a twice faster ram
22:26:17 <b_jonas> this is an old but beloved computer
22:26:20 <int-e> b_jonas: yes, 4x more bandwidth for driving the monitor when you have 2x more memory bandwidth. :)
22:26:45 <b_jonas> int-e: yes, a recent machine _might_ have 4x this bandwith possibly, if you pay enough
22:26:49 <olsner> shouldn't the gpu have some sort of cache? maybe not a whole frame buffer though...
22:27:04 <int-e> But whatever. 4k resolution is silly anyway.
22:27:36 <b_jonas> olsner: yes, it should probably have enough cache to cache the text mode font, which is usually only 4 kilobytes, but can be up to 16 kilobytes in size
22:27:51 <int-e> olsner: I expect it has a cache for textures and the like, to speed up the actual rendering.
22:28:00 <b_jonas> olsner: or enough to cache a line in a double-scan graphics mode (say 320x200 on a crt)
22:28:17 <b_jonas> but a cache won't help for the whole screen unless you have 10 megs of it
22:28:27 <b_jonas> or let's say 7 megs
22:30:47 <b_jonas> int-e: also, it's not really 4 times the bandwidth, only 3.2 times. I have 1.25 the resolution of a normal monitor because I use a true 1920x1280 one rather than the usual 1920x1080. 
22:31:35 <b_jonas> no, 3.4 times the bandwidth
22:33:56 <int-e> I think I'll condense this to "if you want the program to run faster, switch to text mode" and go annoy some people with this wisdom.
22:34:48 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
22:37:28 <b_jonas> int-e: not quite, because it's only true to programs that are truly memory-bound
22:37:34 <b_jonas> many programs aren't
22:37:59 <int-e> Yes, it's wrong in many cases.
22:38:16 <b_jonas> and of course it depends on the computer too
22:38:25 <int-e> (the aforementioned standalone graphics adapter is another)
22:38:53 <b_jonas> wouldn't "if you want the program to run faster, turn off the video signal blanking the screen" be more annoying though?
22:39:08 <int-e> and it's even conceivable that an on-board GPU comes with its own video buffer anyway.
22:41:32 <b_jonas> yep
22:43:08 <b_jonas> int-e: especially since AMD has bought ATI, they can now make both motherboards and videocards
22:44:58 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
22:45:32 <int-e> and combine CPU/GPU into a single chip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Accelerated_Processing_Unit
22:46:40 <b_jonas> but yes, that's exactly the sort of advice that should be spread to annoy people who want to use multithreading and JIT and GPU computing to add two numbers, because they heared the GPU can add numbers faster, but actually care more about the buzzwords than the performance.
22:47:19 <int-e> :)
22:47:56 <b_jonas> they really annoy me for some reason. especially in the few cases when it's people at work.
22:48:31 <int-e> I hope it's not literally 2 numbers.
22:48:40 <b_jonas> no, not literally.
22:48:58 -!- augur has joined.
22:49:43 <b_jonas> and the problem is only partly that they want to use it for inapproperiate tasks, but also that they try to jump to these difficult to use techniques while ignoring much easier possibilities for optimizing their code, like correcting obvious wastes of time.

22:50:23 <lambdabot>  501 % 11
22:50:51 <b_jonas> and I admit that there's at least one case when multithreading actually helps, at least one case when JIT actually helps, and at least one case when GPU programming actually help. it's just that people ignore the basics like how to write programs for the cpu properly before trying to learn these stuff.
22:51:20 <b_jonas> and they don't care to measure what's actually slow in their program or whether their changes actually help in any way or preserve correctness.
22:52:37 <int-e> right, profile, reconsider algorithms, and it doesn't hurt to think about parallelizing stuff (we have many multicore cpus nowadays) when the algorithm looks good.
22:52:42 <b_jonas> nor do they learn how to apply these advanced techniques properly, which is not surprising, because you can't use them efficinetly withotu using the basics.
22:52:55 <b_jonas> they write unsafe multithreaded programs that then crash.
22:53:02 <int-e> of course, keep an eye on the cache hierarchy (part of the algorithm...)
22:53:59 <b_jonas> and they write unsafe single-threaded code that trashes memory by writing past array bounds or to freed memory or through uninitialized pointers, and then the program crashes.
22:54:18 <b_jonas> and then they try to blame _my_ good code which they happen to run in the same process.
22:54:28 <int-e> great, now take that to the GPU. the OS won't save you this time *g*
22:55:05 <b_jonas> they can't even write correct code, not even robust or performant or multithreaded one.
22:55:20 <b_jonas> of course, this is not universal. I also have good experiences at work, with colleages from whom I can learn a lot.
22:55:53 <int-e> I don't want those times back, but having to reboot the computer when you did a programming mistake was good for teaching me a minimal amount of care.

04:54:07 <Sgeo> https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2ujjl8/he_may_be_british_but_the_point_applies_in_the_us/
04:54:20 <Sgeo> Horrifically anti-intellectual video or important point about missing priorities?
04:54:40 <Sgeo> I tend to think it's both, that the things people aren't taught in school that he mentions absolutely should be
04:54:55 <Sgeo> But don't really see a downside to teaching those 'useless' things as much
04:55:06 <Sgeo> (Except that priotization is a thing)
05:12:01 <oren> Most of the things he mentions were taught to me by my parents
05:12:59 <Sgeo> I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to rely on that in general though
05:13:33 <Sgeo> Especially for important-but-not-yet-commonly-known things, such as recognizing signs of mental illness. Can't teach how to treat or perfect detail maybe, but can teach at least some recognition signs
05:14:51 <oren> True, that one is a good idea
05:15:37 <oren> But how to vote, pay taxes or budget, and the laws, were all taught to me by my parents
05:15:53 * oerjan now over 9000
05:17:01 <oerjan> hm i don't think my parents taught me any of those
05:17:03 <Sgeo> I still don't know how to budget >.> I just sort of assume that if I set aside 20% of my income as 'allowed to spend frivolously' I'm good. Except that that account has become my -pay stuff online- account, which isn't perfectly correlation with -stuff I want but don't need-
05:17:18 <oerjan> although my mom was darn good at budgeting so i'm sure she would have if i'd asked
05:17:55 <Sgeo> Also going to need to figure out taxes for the first time this year
05:18:22 <oren> One thing that he didn't mention is cooking. Absolutely everyone should be able to cook a meal for themselves.
05:18:23 <Sgeo> (Last year my dad did them for me. Totally educational. I need to stop relying on him)
05:18:26 <oerjan> (i suppose they may have told me _some_ laws.  i'm still unsure about many.)
05:20:55 <oerjan> i knew how to do my taxes once, but the government has made it so easy that i don't need to any more
05:21:10 <oren> The best point he makes imo is the one about history. I only know what the Cold War was abut because my father explained it. it was never covered in school.
05:22:25 <oren> They covered c. 1912-1945 when they should have covered 1950-2000
05:22:48 <oerjan> heh
05:23:16 <lifthrasiir> education was never free from the influence of politics
05:23:26 <lifthrasiir> among others
05:25:23 <oerjan> (basically everyone who doesn't have a complex economy (like running your own business or the like) gets a suggested tax form from the government, and if you basically agree with it you don't need to do _anything_)
05:26:31 <pikhq> How utterly sane.
05:28:52 <oerjan> the insane part is that this makes the tax authorities the most service-minded branch of the norwegian government, with the best publicity.
05:28:57 <oren> "you won't have a calculator every day" -- only true in primary education system. In University either the numbers are so small you don't need them, or you DO get a calculator
05:29:27 <oerjan> ...until you actually _disagree_ with them, that is.  then things can get rather ugly.
05:30:19 <oren> I don't know my times tables, and this has not been a detriment since grade 11.
05:30:33 <oerjan> (but i don't expect they're worse than other countries in that respect.)
05:32:55 <Sgeo> There were a few current event projects in my school, where we were tasked with writing about whichever current event we wanted
05:33:12 * oerjan does know his times tables.  helps a lot with that calculator crossword in the newspaper.  also, prime numbers.
05:33:31 <Sgeo> The thing about calculators I disagree with though. Yes, we carry around calculators, but there's no way any of my teachers could have predicted that.
05:33:50 <Sgeo> Most teachers can't see the future.
05:34:04 <oren> When i was in school hand calculators were already universal
05:34:21 <oren> it was the 90's after all
05:34:26 <Sgeo> Would you have believed you would carry one in your pocket every day?
05:34:32 <Sgeo> For your adult life?
05:35:03 <oren> My friend had one on his keychain, so yes.
05:35:44 <Sgeo> Hrm, ok
05:36:33 <oren> I mean-- I was born in 1993. There were cell phones, laptops, etc throughout my childhood
05:37:04 <oerjan> the year september never ended
05:37:42 <oerjan> that's how i know i'm old on the internet, i was there _before_ that.
05:38:23 <oren> My dad told be email addresses used to look like name!name!name
05:38:34 <Sgeo> I had crappy laptops during my childhood
05:38:59 <Sgeo> I remember bringing a DOS laptop to my babysitter's house when I was a kid
05:39:21 <zzo38> I often make calculation by hand or by mind if it is simple enough, although I also have a TI-92 calculator that I usually have when traveling somewhere
05:39:35 <oren> My mom had a IBM DOS laptop that she made my dad carry because it was heavy as hell.
05:42:57 <oerjan> i still have the Oric-1 down in the storage room (technically it's my dad's), i think if i tried to turn it on the neighbors would call the cops on me, that had some _ugly_ radio interference.

08:22:57 <b_jonas> zzo38: maybe that tried to be some request for some protocol other than HTTP

And even "/user/soapCaller.bs" and various requests for stuff in /cgi-bin/ (I have nothing there) and many things that are trying to be proxy requests.
08:31:52 <oren> requests for cgi-bin are possibly hacking attempts? 
08:32:24 <zzo38> I would think they try to see what software is installed. Well, there is no such file.
08:33:34 <zzo38> However, they try the same file too often, and they shouldn't do that after you can already see there is no such files.

08:52:22 <b_jonas> yes, /back.css too

08:53:46 <b_jonas> yes, /tmUnblock.cgi too
08:57:08 <zzo38> /1gophserv is specific to my computer because probably someone tried to follow a gopher:// URL but it changed to http:// and then it didn't work.
08:57:24 <b_jonas> zzo38: yeah
08:58:54 <b_jonas> I get hits to files that actually exist, very often apparently from the bots of google, yahoo, and baidu

09:03:34 <b_jonas> ok
09:03:34 <mroman> If you multiply an MVar Double with a Double
09:03:35 <mroman> like
09:03:44 <mroman> someMVar * someDouble
09:03:56 <mroman> in a function like foo someMVar someDouble

09:06:36 <mroman> http://codepad.org/dE059AxK
09:06:55 <mroman> or is there a Num instance for MVars?
09:07:08 <mroman> I'd expect it to report No Instance Num (MVar Double)
09:07:17 <b_jonas> mroman: what? 
09:07:30 <b_jonas> wouldn't you need to read the mvar and then >>= multiply it

10:06:53 <oerjan> you _could_ actually make a Num instance for MVars, couldn't you.  or even an Applicative instance.  it would be weird and not very thread-safe...

13:31:46 <oren> c++ templates is some kind of language
13:43:05 <vanila> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton%E2%80%93Nackman_trick
13:43:22 <vanila> this is like math or something
13:50:45 <oren> everything is like math or something. usually like something, but sometimes like math.
13:50:57 <vanila> so true man
13:54:11 <Jafet> Nah, this is a pointer.
13:55:12 <b_jonas> yes, everything is math
14:01:47 <oren> But basically this whole trick is just a workaround of the fact that c++'s algolish syntax doesn't define which operand of == is the "self".
14:02:06 <b_jonas> algolish as opposed to smalltalkish?
14:03:03 <oren> as opposed to all the excellent alternatives
14:03:53 <oren> for example, you could make a rule that a==b is always a.equals(b)
14:04:36 <b_jonas> oren: that would be a bad idea, because then you could no longer write (0 == smartpointer) or write (nullptr == smartpointer)
14:05:24 <Jafet> You can, in fact, have two different definitions for a==b and b==a
14:05:32 <Jafet> Because C++
14:05:52 <oren> good point. maybe b.equals(a) would be better for the constant == variable convention (which is only necessary because they used = for assignement)

15:09:57 <fizzie> A BT engineer has promised to visit on March 3rd.
15:09:59 <TieSoul> Befunge regexes?
15:10:06 <TieSoul> sounds like an interesting challenge
15:10:30 <oren> in most editors, regexes are used to decide the syntax colorings.
15:10:53 <fizzie> Of course, I'll be off-country the next two weeks or so, so the fungot shortage shows no signs of abating.
15:11:11 <TieSoul> ohh
15:11:13 <TieSoul> you mean
15:11:21 <TieSoul> Befunge highlighting
15:11:25 <oren> yeah 
15:11:31 <fizzie> You could do the trivial context-free highlighting trivially.
15:11:40 <TieSoul> I don't think you could accurately tell what's a string and what's not without running it
15:11:47 <fizzie> And the more complicated thing not at all, pretty much.
15:12:02 <TieSoul> and some things could be both a string AND not
15:12:09 <b_jonas> yep
15:12:19 <b_jonas> and the contents of cells can change during running the program too
15:12:30 <TieSoul> so context-free highlighting is pretty much the best you're going to get
15:12:38 <fizzie> Being both string and commands is just a matter of translucency.
15:13:03 <b_jonas> hehe
15:13:11 <fizzie> For a "well-behaved" program, you can do quite a bit with static analysis, but the editor context is worse for that kind of stuff, since the code would spend most of the time being invalid.
15:13:38 <fizzie> Every time you misplace a >, the rest of the program would be re-highlighted completely differently.
15:13:39 <b_jonas> fizzie: translucency if it's achieved using bridges (trampoline instructions), polarized light if it's achieved using different directions of execution
15:14:14 <TieSoul> befunge highlighting can't be properly done with regexes.
15:14:17 <fizzie> b_jonas: Combined with one of those polarized 3D glasses, that'd be nice.
15:17:08 <fizzie> http://users.ics.aalto.fi/htkallas/fungot.png for those who haven't seen it yet.
15:17:52 <oren> it can't be displayed because it has errors
15:18:07 <fizzie> Works for me. It's a biggish file, though.
15:18:14 <fizzie> 7485x15016 pixels.
15:19:04 <TieSoul> automatically generated Befunge flowcharts?
15:19:16 <fizzie> http://users.ics.aalto.fi/htkallas/fungotsmall.png is a 1:5 scale replica, if 7485x15016 sounds scary.
15:19:19 <fizzie> Yes.
15:19:26 <TieSoul> cool
15:20:02 <fizzie> There's a bit of crude heuristics to handle things like j.
15:20:45 <oren> jesus christ... pkill -9 firefox
15:20:53 <fizzie> "Sorry."
15:21:30 <fizzie> Also I think there was some heuristic about ignoring reflections from fingerprint instructions that don't "look like" they're being handled, since those are a big source of potential static control flows that don't (or shouldn't) occur in practice.
15:22:25 <TieSoul> hrm
15:22:36 <TieSoul> is the flowchart generator up for download? :P
15:22:38 <b_jonas> what are fingerprint instructions?

15:48:33 <TieSoul> oh, alright.
15:49:28 <fizzie> b_jonas: The A..Z commands can be redefined by loading fingerprints. They have a general contract (of sorts) that they reflect on error, but of course for many fingerprints there are often instructions that never fail.
15:53:49 <oren> I use pkill -9 firefox when firefox has started swapping and is threatening to hang my system. 
15:55:27 <Melvar> oren: Do you need swap?
15:57:23 <oren> I have only 2GB memory
15:59:19 <oren> Some programs need morethan that, but unlike Firefox they don't need it all at once
16:01:04 <Melvar> oren: I see. Perhaps you could run firefox with a resource limit on memory if you know its behavior in this regard?
16:02:11 <oren> I tried that, it doesn't seem to work well. If only I could ban firefox from swap while letting other procs use it

17:11:51 <vanila> MLs don't work well with lisp syntax

17:14:44 <vanila> :/

17:22:30 <Koen_> vanila: is there a proof or something?
17:23:27 <J_Arcane> vanila: Well, what's weird about Carrot is, it does use an ML-like syntax, but with everything still being in prefix notation.
17:23:41 <J_Arcane> So = is still the declaration operator...
17:23:50 <J_Arcane> I also couldn't make heads or tails of the conditional syntax.
17:24:21 <oerjan> :t (head ||| tail)
17:24:22 <lambdabot> Either [[a]] [a] -> [a]
17:25:06 <oerjan> :t either
17:25:07 <lambdabot> (a -> c) -> (b -> c) -> Either a b -> c
17:25:15 <oerjan> :t (|||)
17:25:16 <lambdabot> ArrowChoice a => a b d -> a c d -> a (Either b c) d
17:25:29 <oerjan> i guess either is the specialization
17:25:58 <oerjan> :t both
17:25:59 <lambdabot> (Data.Bitraversable.Bitraversable r, Applicative f) => (a -> f b) -> r a a -> f (r b b)
17:26:08 <oerjan> :t (&&&)
17:26:09 <lambdabot> Arrow a => a b c -> a b c' -> a b (c, c')
17:26:14 <oerjan> NOT SYMMETRIC
17:26:32 <oerjan> bad naming, no cookie
17:26:34 <Koen_> why c' and not d?
17:27:11 <oerjan> why indeed
17:28:24 <oerjan> maybe because c is not to c' as a is to b (because a is the arrow itself)
17:29:08 <oerjan> except, of course, ||| does it anyway
17:29:35 <oerjan> conclusion: it's to confuse people
17:30:25 <Koen_> I seem to recall a haskell manual stating "giving the type of a simple function is usually enough to understand what it does"
17:31:03 <oerjan> it has to be very simple and very polymorphic, though
17:31:05 <Koen_> I guess if I knew what Arrow meant I'd understand though so that's ok
17:31:22 <oerjan> Arrow is kind of a mess
17:31:30 <Koen_> okay
17:32:08 <oerjan> in afterthought it is like a mix of Applicative and Category, but not exactly the former because it has an extra argument
17:32:10 <Koen_> to be honest I don't even know what "a b c" means
17:32:40 <oerjan> a good approximation is to say a = (->), so a b c = (b -> c)
17:32:46 <Koen_> ooooh
17:32:58 <oerjan> that's the arrow used for 90% of use cases, anyhow.
17:33:15 <Koen_> okay
17:33:38 <Koen_> so &&& merges two functions or something
17:33:46 <oerjan> (it turns out that several of the Arrow methods happened to be useful, not already defined functions for the (->) case)
17:33:49 <oerjan> yep
17:34:04 <oerjan> > (succ &&& pred) 'b'
17:34:05 <lambdabot>  ('c','a')
17:34:25 <Koen_> nice
17:34:29 <oerjan> > (succ *** pred) ('b', 'K')
17:34:31 <lambdabot>  ('c','J')
17:34:34 <b_jonas> they aren't already defined _because_ Arrow existed early enough in the library that people didn't bother to define specializations
17:35:58 <Koen_> and ||| despecializes
17:36:19 <Koen_> takes two functions and merges the domains
17:36:35 <oerjan> > (succ ||| chr) (Left 'a')
17:36:36 <lambdabot>  'b'
17:36:48 <oerjan> > (succ ||| chr) (Right 48)
17:36:49 <lambdabot>  '0'
17:37:06 <Koen_> nice
17:39:35 <oerjan> i think Arrow was invented before Applicative and had some of the same intended uses, so when the latter got more popular Arrow (which is really complicated in comparison) got much less use except for the (->) specializations
17:39:49 <oerjan> (both can be used for parsers, e.g.)
17:39:50 -!- MoALTz has quit (Quit: Leaving).
17:40:20 <Koen_> do you have an example of when Arrow isn't -> ?
17:40:43 <oerjan> :t Kleisli
17:40:44 <lambdabot> (a -> m b) -> Kleisli m a b
17:41:02 <oerjan> when m is a Monad, Kleisli m is an Arrow
17:42:01 <Koen_> hmm.
17:42:07 <b_jonas> so these days we just use Applicative instead? that's good, because I know what Applicative does.
17:42:25 <Koen_> well thank you for the lesson :)
17:42:32 <oerjan> > (Kleisli $ \x -> [x]) &&& (Kleisli $ \x -> [x+1]) $ 3
17:42:33 <lambdabot>  Couldn't match expected type ‘s0 -> t’
17:42:33 <lambdabot>              with actual type ‘Control.Arrow.Kleisli [] c'0 (c'0, c'0)’
17:42:34 <b_jonas> (it's like a burrito)
17:42:37 <oerjan> gah
17:43:19 <oerjan> b_jonas: there's a sense in which Arrow = Applicative + Category + a law or two
17:44:05 <b_jonas> oerjan: um... ok
17:44:11 <b_jonas> I don't think I understand that but ok
17:44:26 <oerjan> well first of all every Arrow is a Category
17:44:56 <oerjan> secondly, if a  is an Arrow then  a b  is morally an Applicative
17:45:25 <oerjan> (although haskell's class system doesn't allow this to be expressed as a superclass)
17:45:51 <oerjan> and you can define the functions going back and forth
17:45:58 <Koen_> the limits of hskell
17:46:41 <oerjan> although you need some extra laws to get the full Arrow laws

17:47:45 -!- MoALTz has joined.
17:48:27 <b_jonas> oerjan: and does it work backwards too? can you take any Applicable m => m and make an Arrow a => a from it such that a b c is similar to b -> m c ?
17:48:47 -!- vanila has quit (Quit: Leaving).
17:48:56 <b_jonas> wait, that's what you said Kleisli does
17:49:06 <oerjan> b_jonas: no Kleisli needs Monad
17:49:33 <TieSoul> I'm trying to figure out how to write a binary counter in Brainfuck with a non-wrapping implementation
17:49:36 <oerjan> you need Category as well, and some compatibility laws
17:50:07 <TieSoul> (it throws an error if you decrement from zero or increment from 255)
17:50:31 <oerjan> TieSoul: well you should be able to do it with just 0,1 values :P
17:50:59 <oerjan> i think you want internal padding
17:51:33 <oerjan> 0 bit0 1 bit1 1 bit2 ... bitn 0 
17:51:49 <TieSoul> it has a fixed length
17:51:54 <oerjan> ah.
17:52:11 <oerjan> i guess you can do without the padding then, in principle
17:52:27 <oerjan> probably may need a temporary cell somewhere, though
17:52:38 <TieSoul> the thing is, I can't figure out how to check for 1s without decrementing from zero.
17:53:15 <b_jonas> juse use a couple of temp cells
17:53:54 <TieSoul> hrm
17:53:58 <oerjan> everything's better with temp cells
17:55:22 <TieSoul> ...I don't get how temp cells would help

17:56:42 <TieSoul> I want to convert a number under 32 to its binary representation.
17:56:51 <oren> use a lookup table
17:57:07 <TieSoul> in brainfuck?
17:57:29 <oren> why not?
17:57:31 <TieSoul> it's a code golf thing btw
17:57:45 <oren> ohhhh then don't use a lookup table
17:59:03 <TieSoul> I want to use a binary counter
17:59:18 <TieSoul> but I have trouble figuring out how to do that in a non-wrapping implementation
17:59:31 <TieSoul> (checking for 1s without decrementing from 0)
18:00:39 <oren> check for zero, then decrement, then check for zero again?
18:01:06 <TieSoul> hrm
18:01:33 <TieSoul> I could... have a 0 cell before/after every 'binary cell'
18:01:39 <TieSoul> and then increment to 2 if it's 0
18:01:44 <TieSoul> decrement
18:01:45 <TieSoul> check
18:02:14 <oren> yeah, you need a zero cell handy anytime you want to do an if instead of a while
18:02:22 <TieSoul> yeah
18:04:05 <TieSoul> wait lol
18:04:14 <TieSoul> I think I got confused there
18:04:19 <TieSoul> what I said doesn't make sense
18:04:34 <TieSoul> it's an 'if-nonzero', not 'if-zero'
18:05:35 <oren> that doesn't make much difference except the order of blocks

18:08:58 <TieSoul> that should be a binary counter?
18:09:05 <TieSoul> (going left)
18:09:40 <TieSoul> and then returning to the original cell... somehow
18:09:44 <oren> if you reset to the first cell before it

20:38:38 <oren> a language in which it is impossible to write an interpreter for a language unless that language is TC
20:39:22 <coppro> oren: that's impossible
20:39:31 <oren> orly?
20:39:55 <coppro> actually... hmm, no, it's not *obviously* impossible.
20:40:03 <coppro> if you maintain a source/input distinction
20:40:18 <coppro> but I would be very surprised if you could do that

20:43:03 <oren> wait. trivially, a restricted compiler for any language, which only accepts the source code of a BF interpreter
20:43:17 <Gregor> It depends on whether that is your only restriction.
20:43:29 <Gregor> If it is only impossible to write ONE interpreter for ONE language, that's easy :)
20:43:56 <Gregor> But a language which will accept ANY interpreter for ANY TC language, but will reject any other program is a halting problem solver.
20:45:29 <pikhq> Yep, you either managed to make it trivial and uninteresting *or* impossible.
20:45:32 <oren> it might be even worse than that actually. it basically has to tell whether the halting problem is unsolvable on the langugae defined by its input program.
20:46:43 <oren> wait. DOES the haltingproblem thing go both ways?
20:46:53 -!- Patashu has joined.
20:47:15 <oren> are there languages where the halting problem is unsolvable, but the language is not TC?
20:47:38 <vanila> kind of
20:47:49 <vanila> there are undecidable problems in context-free grammars
20:51:45 <oren> http://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/
20:51:56 <oren> this site is awesome
21:07:07 <FireFly> Hm, I just use a generic bitmap editor
21:08:35 <oren> I was doeing it with mtpaint
21:08:54 <oren> but this thing is way easier if a little limited
21:09:41 <J_Arcane> Wee! I have my char lookup table now.
21:14:00 <oren> So i made an utterly insane font, which I posted a screenshot of earlier
21:14:51 <FireFly> The game one?
21:14:53 <FireFly> Or another one?
21:15:15 <oren> a new one:
21:15:30 <b_jonas> oren: where's the screenshot?
21:15:42 <oren> http://snag.gy/GZVB3.jpg
21:15:47 <oren> heres a new screen
21:16:19 <FireFly> That's really hard to read
21:16:21 <b_jonas> that looks strange
21:16:31 <b_jonas> no, it's not very hard to read actually
21:16:31 <FireFly> Especially the t and h
21:16:38 <oren> it uses underdot instead of capitals
21:16:48 <b_jonas> but the v looks ugly to me
21:16:49 <FireFly> Well, apart from t and h I guess it's fairly readable
21:17:07 <FireFly> k is also a bit weird
21:17:09 <oren> what bout the f 
21:17:16 <FireFly> My brain really doesn't like the way "that" looks
21:17:25 <b_jonas> oren: nice, thank you for sharing
21:18:07 <FireFly> the f isn't too bad for me from a readability perspective
21:19:20 <FireFly> I made this bitmap font a while ago: http://xen.firefly.nu/up/pixfont/index.html
21:19:31 <b_jonas> oren: what does the "z" look like? "z" is ugly in many fonts but you don't find that out from screenshots like this
21:19:34 <FireFly> Though I didn't try it out properly until yesterday
21:20:06 <oren> hold on

21:26:24 <FireFly> Hmm, I should try to convert my bitmap font to a proper font file

21:26:49 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
21:27:16 <oren> well, except I usually put a dot in my zeros
21:29:23 <oren> firefly: thta font is nice and small
21:30:06 <oren> I like small fonts when I'm programming
21:31:03 <FireFly> I actually prefer larger fonts personally, but I wanted to make a small but legible bitmap font for platforms where screen space is more limited
21:31:14 <b_jonas> oren: wait, I have an old crazy font I'd like to show to you
21:32:36 <oren> In particular, I like fonts that conserve vertical space
21:32:58 <FireFly> As for smallness, I have this thing I made a long time ago: http://xen.firefly.nu/up/pixel-font.png
21:33:11 <FireFly> Though it uses manual anti-aliasing so it kinda doesn't count
21:33:43 <FireFly> It's surprisingly legible for being 3x5px glyphs, to me anyway
21:34:02 <oren> that's pretty damn good
21:35:49 -!- hassa-aravit has joined.
21:37:20 <FireFly> The S looks pretty ugly, hmm
21:38:12 <fizzie> I've made a 3x5 (well, 4x6 cell) font too, for rfk86.
21:39:35 <fizzie> https://zem.fi/rfk86/ should render using it, if things work out right.
21:39:49 <FireFly> Fancy
21:42:27 <fizzie> I like the lowercase s/z trick it uses, which I think I adapted (or even just copied) from mooz's TI-86 befunge interpreter.

21:57:32 <b_jonas> FireFly: that small font looks nice
21:57:48 <b_jonas> though I'm not sure I like the "S"
21:58:05 <oren> it is a little too light isnt it?
21:58:08 <b_jonas> nor the way the N and H look very similar
21:58:32 <b_jonas> the "S" is too closed, that is, the top and bottom curve too much down
21:58:55 <b_jonas> the N and H might be a bigger problem though

22:01:35 <b_jonas> FireFly: in the 3x5 one
22:01:51 <b_jonas> By the way, I like the “Munka és béke” poem (displayed in that screenshot) partly because it has almost every letter, and has most letters in both the first four lines and the last four lines, which is quite remarkable for such a short poem.
22:01:59 -!- tromp_ has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds).
22:02:07 <b_jonas> So it's not really a pangram, but close.
22:02:11 <b_jonas> Useful for demonstrations like this.
22:02:57 <FireFly> Poems for demoing charsets reminds me of Iroha
22:03:16 <b_jonas> FireFly: is that the Japanese one that helps demo kana?
22:03:21 <FireFly> Yup
22:03:22 <oren> yup
22:03:32 <FireFly> It uses every syllable exactly once
22:04:00 <oren> it now contains ones that don't exist in modern japanese like wi
22:04:21 <oren> (well, wi does occur in names, like arawi keiichi)
22:05:00 <ais523> hmm, I wonder if using every syllable exactly once is possible in English
22:05:01 -!- Lymia has joined.
22:05:04 <ais523> it seems like it might be
22:05:37 <b_jonas> ais523: there are too many syllables so you'd need a longer text, which is hard without reusing “the” more than twice
22:06:05 <ais523> yep, you'd have to avoid common words
22:06:14 <ais523> but long English prose that avoids common words has been done before
22:06:14 <FireFly> Well, if you can write a book without using the letter 'e'...
22:06:21 <ais523> FireFly: the great thing about that book
22:06:26 <FireFly> Is the translations
22:06:28 <ais523> is that it's a translation of a French book that also doesn't use the letter 'e'
22:06:30 <ais523> yep
22:06:39 <b_jonas> sure
22:06:41 <ais523> ('e' is the most common letter in French too, IIRC)
22:06:43 -!- FreeFull has joined.
22:06:50 <oren> http://snag.gy/tRIpP.jpg
22:06:56 <FireFly> that's what I usually say when that book is bought up--the translator's job is more impressive than originally writing it
22:07:04 <oren> my font works well at small sizes too
22:07:18 <FireFly> (not to say that authoring it isn't also impressive)
22:08:12 <oren> without 'e' in FRENCH?? very impressive,
22:08:47 <b_jonas> The fun part of Munka és béke is that it has two variants. The other variant has an “ű” but doesn't have “ő” in exchange
22:08:58 <b_jonas> no wait, that can't be true
22:09:07 <b_jonas> there are two “ő” so one must remain
22:09:20 <b_jonas> it doesn't have some other letter
22:09:29 <b_jonas> wait let me check
22:11:01 <Taneb> I have written a quine in Haskell
22:11:33 <b_jonas> hmm, maybe it has “ű” but doesn't lose anything in exchange?
22:11:45 <b_jonas> but I seem to remember it wasn't more close to a pangram than this version
22:12:03 <b_jonas> whatever, I'm too tired to figure it out now
22:12:17 <oren> maybe there are 3 versions?
22:12:29 <zzo38> Does not 'e' in French also mean doesn't have any 'e' with accent mark too, or not?
22:13:05 <b_jonas> oren: could be, but I only know of two
22:16:18 <zzo38> Do you know of any Z-machine implementation that actually supports small-endian other than ZORKMID?
22:16:29 <zzo38> (ZORKMID does support big-endian too)
22:16:51 <b_jonas> isn't it called "little-endian"?
22:17:54 <zzo38> I don't know, I called it "small-endian"; Infocom called them "byte-swapped" story files (and as far as I know, never created any such story files nor ever implemented an interpreter that would support them).

23:04:18 <Koen_> ais523's try was friendlier to proportionate fonts irc clients
23:04:35 <ais523> Koen_: I use a proportional font in my client
23:04:35 <FireFly> I found the 2 to be hardest actually
23:04:57 <ais523> actually, this reminds me of a table I saw on a proportional-font-using forum
23:05:07 <ais523> that used ' and ` as spacers in order to make all the columns line up
23:05:08 <fizzie> The "leave something out" trick is a good one, it's the basis for the rfk86 s/z too.
23:05:11 <ais523> despite the proportional font
23:05:31 <ais523> fizzie: that reminds me of the trick I used when trying to fit the whole alphabet on a 7-segment display
23:05:34 <ais523> for M and W
23:05:44 <ais523> (M was the top segment, middle segment, and the two lower sides)
23:05:52 <FireFly> Koen_: the font?  I had the TI-84 in mind at first, now I'm just adding some more glyphs because I was happy with how it turned out
23:06:26 <Koen_> cool
23:06:52 <vanila> can we generate a new font
23:06:54 * Koen_ had a ti-84 but it was stolen during mardi gras in prepschool
23:07:01 <ais523> I remember that Windows 3.1 shipped with a set of raster fonts of very small sizes
23:07:35 -!- Fleur has joined.
23:09:38 <fizzie> I had a script somewhere for IRCing with the rfk86 font, based on the 2x2 Unicode quarter-block things.
23:10:31 <fizzie> There's the full set of them, so 3 lines is enough for a font 6 pixels high.
23:11:01 <int-e> FireFly: http://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/6x13frac.png .. the fixed font here also leaves out the / (or bar)
23:11:03 <FireFly> You can do better if you abuse the Braille Unicode block
23:11:15 <fizzie> I'm typing with a speech recognizer again
23:11:24 <elliott> me too
23:11:25 <int-e> FireFly: but of course those extra vertical pixels help a lot
23:11:26 <FireFly> That gives you 8×2 "pixels" per character

23:12:06 <vanila> Hey i have an idea lets make an esoteric font
23:12:32 <fizzie> I think they have improved the voice typing
23:12:41 * FireFly ponders whether to remove the fractional slash or keep his current glyphs
23:12:44 <zzo38> vanila: OK, what are you going to put on it, and is it METAFONT or PC 8x8 bitmap font or whatever?
23:12:49 <fizzie> Although this is far less hilarious than last time
23:12:52 <FireFly> I could do alternate characters
23:13:10 <elliott> Fleur: came here from the wiki?
23:13:19 <int-e> FireFly: I believe you'll find that it's 4x2 pixels
23:13:20 <vanila> zzo38, I thought it could be generated randomly, by trying to find a set of images which look very different (by some metric)

23:15:05 <vanila> Fleur, did you invent any esolangs or have some favorites
23:15:58 <Fleur> vanila: I don't really have any particular favourites, I just keep clicking the random page button until something catches my eye :P

00:15:30 <ais523> how bad does it have to be before you assume they are / they are in league with its creator?
00:15:44 <boily> quintopia: don't worry. partitioning is either the simplest thing, or the hardest thing.
00:15:55 <quintopia> i meant this entire process
00:16:08 <quintopia> partitioning will be easy if i can even GET to that point
00:16:20 <boily> (one of my friends has a desktop. I don't want to touch that desktop anymore. the boot process on that thing greatly surpasses my necromancy skills.)
00:16:22 <quintopia> since i'm just going to wipe every thing and start over
00:16:49 <quintopia> right now all i'm getting is a screen that keeps flashing
00:16:56 <FireFly> ais523: I think that might describe my first visit to the channel
00:16:59 <boily> quintopia: if you haven't done it yet, burn an image of grml on a disc or stick, and boot that. this distro is magic.
00:17:05 <ais523> FireFly: which language was it?
00:17:09 <FireFly> Migol 09
00:17:18 <boily> quintopia: it should most verily probably solve almost all your problems.
00:17:24 <quintopia> boily: magic how
00:17:25 <boily> (almost used in the mathematical sense.)
00:17:36 <ais523> wow
00:18:02 <quintopia> that implies that the number of possible problems is infinite
00:18:02 <boily> quintopia: it has heavy hardware autodetection, with manual options in case your machine is rebarbative and resists your dominance.
00:18:13 <quintopia> i think the number of possible problems is really a large finite number
00:18:18 <boily> I never said that the set of possible problems is finite.
00:18:31 <boily> large finite numbers are good approximations of infinity.
00:18:34 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
00:18:45 <quintopia> how so
00:18:56 <quintopia> every finite number i know is much less than infinity
00:19:56 <boily> large numbers either hit NaN or Infty. therefore, they are good approximations.
00:20:24 <boily> but apart from that, you really should get a copy of grml.
00:20:45 * boily doesn't have any sentimental attachment towards grml, I swear.
00:21:28 <quintopia> i have a sentimental attachment to the obsolete system i am replacing

02:57:44 <oren> this just in-- woman asks what color dress is, internet goes down in flaming ruins
02:58:47 <ais523> I assume this is some sort of huge meme
02:58:57 <ais523> because I've seen it be brought up unprompted in like 4 different places
03:00:23 <oren> basically people can't all agree on whether the dress is white and gold (me) or blue and black
03:00:51 <ais523> based on what? seeing it in person? photos?
03:01:02 <ais523> with photos it could literally be white and gold in one, and blue and black in another, depending on lighting
03:01:12 <oren> http://swiked.tumblr.com/post/112073818575/guys-please-help-me-is-this-dress-white-and
03:01:20 <oren> this photo specifically
03:02:19 <ais523> oh, that depends a lot on gamma
03:02:33 <ais523> if you're viewing it on a laptop screen, try changing your viewing angle
03:02:38 <oren> https://twitter.com/emmyrossum/status/571128558325608448
03:02:55 <ais523> it's black and blue when viewed from below, white and gold when viewed from above
03:03:14 <ais523> so different people could genuinely be seeing different colours
03:03:28 <oren> HOLY SHIT how did that happen
03:04:06 <ais523> so I guess what's happened is that the Internet hasn't discovered the existence of gamma yet
03:04:14 <ais523> (also, fwiw, I see it as blue and gold in an in-between gamma)
03:08:40 <oren> so if the screen angle is causing it, maybe different people naturally hold their tablets at different angles
03:09:06 <ais523> yep
03:09:18 <Jafet> Tablets that use IPS shouldn't be affected by viewing angle
03:09:23 <ais523> inconsistent gamma based on viewing angle is one of the major disadvantages of LCDs
03:13:00 <int-e> I'm so tempted to make a screenshot to prove that it's blue and black :P
03:15:06 <ais523> we could use the xkcd colour classification chart, perhaps?
03:15:14 <ais523> although I'm not sure the whole three-color-dimensional thing is public
03:17:50 <int-e> there are lengthy (though not very substantial) articles about this... http://motherboard.vice.com/en_ca/read/there-is-the-dress-and-only-the-dress
03:20:09 <quintopia> i cant see white and gold at any angle
03:20:18 <quintopia> on any screen
03:23:13 <ais523> anyway, one way to think about it
03:23:17 <int-e> I'd like to know whether this was accidential (an actual photograph that was hopelessly overexposed) or deliberate.
03:23:20 <ais523> is that white and blue are adjacent colors (in between, you just have light blues)
03:23:25 <ais523> and likewise, black and gold are adjacent
03:23:36 <ais523> so there have to be some colors that land right on the boundary
03:29:32 <oren> Haha! I jury rigged an LCD monitor SIDEWAYS and it doesn't have the problem. (instead the colrs shift with left-right viewing angle)
03:31:55 <ais523> I'm not sure that counts :-)
03:32:08 <int-e> oren: that sounds awful
03:33:04 <oren> I taped the mount on the bottom to the wall with a lot of duck tape

03:48:22 <oren> if each one is 16:9 then the result would be 18:16
03:50:10 <oren> but I would need to knock together a wooden frame to hold them, too much work 
03:52:20 <Jafet> Multiple   screens h  ave other   problems.

05:24:22 <zzo38> Is there any Magic: the Puzzling that involves conceding and/or subgames?
05:25:16 <ais523> I doubt it; conceding doesn't fit into the normal 1v1 setups, and in order to work out what would happen in a subgame, you'd need to know what's in the opponent's deck
05:26:16 <zzo38> Yes, although some puzzles tell you what's in the opponent's deck; there are also things you can use to affect the opponent's library before the subgame starts.
05:26:56 <zzo38> The possibility to concede also might be important if there are subgames
05:27:22 <zzo38> Or if you are making a puzzle involving Team vs Team instead of 1v1
05:31:56 <zzo38> Maybe it is even necessary to concede a subgame you have started, and to somehow stop your opponent from conceding before you have completed what you need to do, perhaps by making opponent have only 1 life point in the main game, and then if Shahrazad is used they will lose half, rounded up
05:38:36 <oren> Shahrazad? How many other cards refer to reality like that?
05:39:03 <oren> Well, real literature anyway
05:39:54 <zzo38> Some very old flavor texts do refer to real literature
05:40:43 <oren> Holy shit therea re cards alled "jihad" and "army of allah" how did they get away with that?!?!?
05:41:00 <zzo38> Yes, those are very old
05:41:10 <zzo38> Also there is a card "Aladdin"
05:41:41 <ais523> I think the origin arabian nights stories are out of copyright by now
05:42:10 <zzo38> But even outside of the Arabian Nights set, some old cards referenced older literature including Shakespeare and the Bible and a few others
05:44:38 <oren> oh, they got away with it because they came out the year I was born... the whole war hadn't started yet
05:46:05 <oren> I like how "king suleiman" is a card.
05:46:32 <oren> since he was a completely real person, but from CENTURIES later
05:49:34 <oren> He appears as a enemy ai character in aOE3
05:49:40 <oren> AOE3
05:50:36 -!- Froox has quit (Quit: *bubbles away*).
05:53:06 <oren> Interesting to scroll chronologically through the versions of a card. Like apparently before I was playing, there was a period where "destroy, it can't be regenerated" was shortened to "bury"
05:54:26 <oren> But before that, it was originally "destroy, it can't regenerate"
05:55:15 <zzo38> The original "Flight" said "Target creature is now a flying creature."
05:55:42 -!- ProofTechnique has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
05:57:39 <zzo38> The original text of "Black Lotus" didn't list an activation cost; it said "Adds 3 mana of any single color of your choice to your mana pool, then is discarded. Tapping this artifact can be played as an interrupt."
05:57:59 <ais523> zzo38: that's because it had "mono artifact" on its type line
05:58:15 <ais523> which means that anything that looks like a tap ability in its text box is a tap ability
05:58:39 <zzo38> Yes, I know, "mono artifact" means it can be activated by tapping in additional to any other activation costs if any.
05:59:06 <zzo38> And then there is also "poly artifct" which is similar but doesn't require tapping; however I think it still can't be used if it is already tapped
06:00:32 <zzo38> However, there is another thing too: Before the Alpha cards were even released, they originally had the activation costs printed next to the mana cost, and there was no "mono artifact" and "poly artifact" either; any card that did not require tapping to activate explicitly said so.
06:01:06 <zzo38> Another thing about the pre-Alpha cards is that the Plains had pictures of airplanes on them.
06:01:23 <zzo38> Did you know any of these things before?
06:05:44 <oren> no... how the hell does "Copper Tablet"'s effect make any sense?
06:06:56 <oren> actually better question: why does it say "does X damage" instead of "deals X damage" on old cards?
06:08:09 <oren> "does damage" sounds childish to me somehow
06:13:52 <oren> Ok weirdest thing: one particular version of the card "wrath of god", instead of saying "destroy all creatures, they can't be regenerated", instead says ""
06:13:55 <oren> Put all creatures into their owners' discard piles. (This includes your creatures.)
06:15:10 <oren> I don't even know if that's equivalent
06:16:49 <oren> well, assuming that regeneration refers to "destroying" a creature, then it might be

13:17:12 <vanila> must be alot of code
13:20:18 <vanila> im curious how the sokoban bits are done...
13:20:26 <vanila> those are very hard to solve with a program
13:22:00 <int-e> you can always hardcode some bits
13:23:25 <vanila> yeah i guess the sokobans are hard coded, so the solver doesn't need to be general
13:24:10 <int-e> generating sokoban puzzles is even harder (except for very small sizes, but then solving is still easy...)
13:25:30 <int-e> (There are some collections of automatically generated puzzles, based on the principle that one looks for long shortest solutions. They're somewhat interesting for humans to solve because the taxicab metric is generally useless for them.)
13:26:16 <int-e> Not sure if there are more interesting puzzles, I'm not really up-to-date on this topic; perhaps ais523 knows more.
13:26:33 <int-e> ... more interesting puzzle generators, that is.

20:49:57 <int-e> (yafgc has such a funny update style; rather than having a buffer, the updates tend to happen in batches...)
20:51:19 <oerjan> yep
20:51:19 <int-e> (Oh and I'm now totally confused about the relative timing of the various stories.)
20:51:34 <oerjan> int-e: there's a forum post with a chronology
20:51:55 <oerjan> unfortunately it's by chapter name, not comic numbers, so still a bit confusing
20:52:51 <oerjan> or rather, not confusing, but it makes it impossible to see where the actual jumps are, when you don't remember the _posting_ chronology
20:52:53 <Koen_> "yet another freaking golf compiler"?
20:53:05 <oerjan> fantasy gamer comic hth
20:53:37 <oerjan> it's sort of D&D based story like oots
20:54:02 <int-e> unlike oots, it doesn't take miles of text to get to a punchline
20:54:08 <oerjan> better drawing (but usually sketches, not properly inked) and frequently somewhat nsfw
20:54:14 <int-e> (sorry, I know I'm repeating myself there)
20:55:35 <oerjan> int-e: the updates are whenever he has free time to draw, i take.  and also the recent server move has taken a lot off that time.
20:55:41 <int-e> The very first one is an indicator of how unsafe for work it gets, though maybe the Drow's dungeon (very SM) is worse. http://yafgc.net/comic/bob-meets-gren/
20:56:01 <oerjan> mostly because he's individually reuploading and reindexing every comic
20:56:45 <oerjan> (i could say something about obvious lack of scripting skills, but otoh the new indexing system is pretty nice)
20:57:03 <oerjan> also he isn't finished yet, so some comics are actually missing from the new archive
20:58:51 <oerjan> int-e: hm was i the one who pointed you to yafgc?  that makes at least two of your comics my fault, then :P

21:00:19 <oerjan> possibly you'd want it between commas

21:01:04 <oerjan> maybe.  it was pretty old when i found it.  i think it was in the middle of the vampire story.

21:01:54 <oerjan> (there were some vampires earlier who moved in when lewie left)

21:05:41 <int-e> I didn't make the connection(sic!) between that one underground cave and the other.
21:06:06 <oerjan> um i think that was pretty ad hoc
21:06:22 <oerjan> they're meeting because the plot requires lewie to meet ata
21:06:39 <int-e> oerjan: and of course we still have to see Dewcup's other half to turn up. That will be fun. I expect them both to be evil, but it's hard to predict.
21:07:03 <oerjan> maybe the other half is still in the tomb city
21:07:31 <int-e> Yeah, I've also lost track of the plot, because of all the stories inbetween. :)
21:07:37 <oerjan> or maybe, as some predicted on the forum, dewcup is so unrestrained that she simply doesn't have any repressed sides for a succubus to form with
21:08:27 <oerjan> i think some years passed between dewcup getting captured and finding her way out
21:08:48 <oerjan> although i cannot say how many
21:09:30 <int-e> And what does the Ata priestess have to do with Kila, if anything?
21:10:56 <int-e> Hah, knowing Dewcup's natural charm I bet the priestess didn't last a week before giving her the run of the place (in order to get her out of sight.)
21:10:57 <oerjan> int-e: i suggest clicking on the link to Ata in the index for the comic
21:14:40 <oerjan> maybe i should find it, since it's not on the _current_ comic
21:15:22 <int-e> oh.
21:15:40 <oerjan> um does that mean you found it

21:19:31 -!- Patashu has joined.
21:21:27 <mroman> can you do incremental parsing with parsec?
21:21:47 <oerjan> what kind of incremental
21:22:12 <mroman> Let's say what I want to parse comes from a stream
21:22:24 <oerjan> it's not very designed for it
21:22:26 <mroman> and I don't know if I have enough data present for parsing the next entry
21:22:41 <mroman> also there might be one entry in the buffer + half of the next entry
21:22:42 <mroman> so
21:22:50 <mroman> parsec can't really deal with that
21:22:54 <oerjan> but i _think_ you can do it by parsing with a monad transformer
21:23:20 <mroman> hm
21:23:25 <oerjan> not sure how that interacts with backtracking though
21:23:30 <mroman> can parsec return me as a string what it couldn't parse?
21:24:42 <mroman> hm
21:24:50 <mroman> You can always wrap everything in a try I guess
21:25:08 <mroman> but that wouldn't tell me how far it parsed
21:25:34 <mroman> hm
21:25:36 <mroman> there's lookAhead
21:26:02 <oerjan> "attoparsec supports incremental parsing directly"
21:26:38 <oerjan> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15752243/incremental-parsing-from-handle-in-haskell
21:27:05 <oerjan> "Parsec, alas, doesn't."
21:29:18 <mroman> yeah
21:29:26 <mroman> but
21:29:33 <mroman> you can use try lookAhead I guess
21:29:52 <mroman> and call getPosition to determine how far it parsed
21:29:55 <mroman> it'll be ugly
21:30:00 <mroman> but I think you *could* still do it
21:30:01 <int-e> Hmm, is that true? http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec-3.1.8/docs/Text-Parsec.html#t:Stream looks like this is now possible, though I'm not sure it's possible to not store everything that was already read for potential backtracking...
21:30:17 <mroman> "Returns the full parser state as a State record."
21:31:30 <oerjan> int-e: the problem isn't _reading_ incrementally, but parsing incrementally if you need lookahead.
21:31:31 <mroman> hm
21:32:23 <oerjan> parsec returns just one result, in bulk, and if that result used lookahead at the end your Stream will have read it, i think.
21:32:35 <oerjan> so restarting won't do the right thing.
21:34:12 <int-e> oerjan: well, it's a bit of both
21:34:30 <int-e> reading on demand and returning partial results
21:35:21 <mroman> oh well you can totaly do that
21:35:23 <mroman> there's getInput
21:35:25 <int-e> Note also that that Stream class is a recent addition to Parsec, added in September last year, in version 3.1.6.
21:35:36 <oerjan> mroman: that's not likely to be lazy, though.
21:35:37 <mroman> *Main> runParserWithString  parseIt "(9 9)(8"
21:35:38 <mroman> ("(8",RLON_Object (RLON_Integer 9) [RLON_Integer 9])
21:35:52 <oerjan> int-e: ah
21:36:01 <mroman> state <- getInput; return $ (state, rlon)
21:36:10 <int-e> lambdabot is still on parsec-3.1.5
21:36:12 <mroman> you can call the parser
21:36:31 <mroman> then use getInput at the and of your parse function and return a tupel of the parsed stuff and a string of what's left to parse
21:36:32 <oerjan> mroman: i'm saying that you won't get lazy parsing this way
21:36:50 <mroman> why would I need lazy parsing?
21:37:11 <oerjan> well if you are reading from a file...
21:37:46 <oerjan> hm if you are reading from a list, will getInput just return it
21:38:04 <int-e> Parsec isn't the only parsing library out there. I wonder if anybody has done a comprehensive survey...
21:39:05 <mroman> I think try isn't that lazy anyway
21:39:10 <mroman> it requires backtracking after all
21:39:30 <mroman> so having a huge try will cause parsec anyway to keep the whole stuff in memory all the time
21:40:06 -!- bb010g has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity).
21:40:44 <mroman> but you need a dummy thing you can return when parsing failed
21:40:50 <mroman> (i.e. when nothing could be completely parsed)
21:40:58 <mroman> http://codepad.org/LfQ80IF7
21:41:05 <mroman> wrap the outermost parse function in a try
21:41:08 <oerjan> mroman: i am thinking that you can parse a list incrementally in parsec by using ParsecT ... (Writer [...])
21:41:13 <mroman> then do (try outer) <|> (return DummyShit)
21:41:40 -!- sdegutis has joined.
21:41:43 -!- sdegutis has left ("Leaving...").
21:41:43 <oerjan> and _instead_ of return a result, you just lift $ tell ... each list item once you're sure of it
21:42:29 <oerjan> ...i guess this will ruin the normal error reporting, though.
21:42:34 <mroman> although this way
21:42:41 <mroman> you can't tell if a parse error occured
21:42:45 <mroman> or not enough input is there
21:42:47 <mroman> so yes
21:42:52 <mroman> it sucks :(
21:43:26 <mroman> ok
21:43:28 <oerjan> hmph
21:43:32 <mroman> so if I ever need incremental parsing
21:43:34 <mroman> i'll use attoparsec
21:43:54 <mroman> (I don't actually need it right now, I was just curious)
21:44:01 <int-e> oerjan: lazy, incremental parsing is conceptually weird. you have to accept that you process partial results before you know that there won't be a syntax error later on.
21:44:14 <mroman> (I might do some network stuff some day)
21:44:50 <mroman> can you parse integer <> double without try btw?
21:44:56 <int-e> oerjan: And it gets weird if the result is in any way tree-structured, rather than a stream.
21:45:19 <oerjan> mroman: definitely not without making a custom combinator
21:45:39 <mroman> I usually use (try parseDouble) <|> parseInt
21:45:45 <mroman> and parseDouble expects a "."
21:45:49 <oerjan> 12 and 12.0 cannot be distinguished without reading input
21:45:54 <mroman> so when no "." is present it fails and parseInt will parse it
21:46:01 <mroman> but that requires a try
21:46:43 <mroman> parsec is what
21:46:45 <mroman> LL(1)?
21:46:48 <mroman> something like that
21:46:53 <mroman> it looks ahead on symbol
21:47:10 <oerjan> it's LL(whateveryouneed)
21:47:23 <mroman> i.e.
21:47:35 <mroman> having a char 'a'; char 'b'; and a char 'a'; char 'c' wont work
21:47:39 <mroman> without try
21:47:53 <mroman> because once it sees an 'a' it will expect 'b' ALWAYS

21:49:44 <oerjan> mroman: you cannot combine an integer and a double parser without try, but you can certainly refactor integer <|> double into something that doesn't use try

22:32:22 <gamemanj> I've made a "temporary" model so Fungot can be booted, although he only says "hello" with this model. And it's not much of a model...
22:32:28 <FireFly> Probably
22:32:32 <gamemanj> ...and I'm not sure if it'll work.
22:33:25 <fizzie> It should boot with no babbling models too, it just requires a fungot.dat miscellaneous data file.
22:34:34 <fizzie> int-e: I'm not sure if it wants a '\0'-terminated 'styles.list' file too, by the way.
22:34:52 <gamemanj> Oh. I just went ahead and read your file format documentation :)
22:35:02 <int-e> fizzie: I have that. I even have a style.
22:36:52 <gamemanj> ...Does styles.list have newlines or not? It's written as having "lines" which ALSO have \0 in them.

22:41:08 <fnordbot> Selected style: Not really what you'd expect
22:41:34 <int-e> gamemanj: so as far as I can see it's actual lines, just as described.
22:41:52 <fizzie> gamemanj: It needs both \0\n at the ends of lines, and a \0 in first column after the entries.
22:42:08 <gamemanj> Ah, I see.
22:42:25 <int-e> fizzie: so I guess I won't need that state file after all. but thanks for the offer.
22:42:32 <fizzie> Er, that is, \0 in first column on the line after the entries.
22:42:44 <gamemanj> Should styles.list and the model files be in data\ ?
22:43:06 <fizzie> int-e: Good, less work for me. Though you are missing the defined commands without it.
22:43:33 <fizzie> gamemanj: I think not. Which is a bit silly.

22:44:25 <gamemanj> ...Let's see if this works...
22:44:25 <int-e> fizzie: right. but mainly I was curious whether I could get it to run at all. I didn't expect cfunge 0.9 to be incompatible with 0.3.3 (I haven't tried 0.4.1)
22:44:59 <int-e> fizzie: none. it's trained from the first volume of hitchhiker
22:45:23 <gamemanj> ...I'm guessing it doesn't work with CCBI?
22:46:11 <fizzie> int-e: Bizarre. I'm pretty sure I've ran it post-0.9. I'd like to debug this out, but the circumstances are not good for it right now. Perhaps when I get back from the Americas.

22:50:33 -!- ProofTechnique has joined.
22:53:20 <gamemanj> Well, after finding out I messed up the config, CCBI starts fungot! bad news: it doesn't give a nickname.
22:54:12 <int-e> did you edit the fungot-load-whatever.b98 file?
22:54:30 <gamemanj> Yep, that's what I broke(and then fixed, and then it still failed)
22:54:46 <gamemanj> I'll double-check...
22:56:07 <gamemanj> Seems I didn't mess up config, and "-" isn't a banned letter in IRC AFAIK.

23:06:04 <gamemanj> Well, that was what my first mistake was. I've fixed that now, but I'm using CCBI, so I'm trying with the right version of cfunge.

23:19:32 <Koen_> oh
23:19:41 <Koen_> okay
23:20:02 <Koen_> I guess an inline interpreter for a 2d language wasn't that useful anyway
23:20:07 <fizzie> Although there's an owner-only command to run "raw" Funge-98 code, but it's mostly just useful for hot-patching (more like hot-breaking).
23:20:53 <fizzie> I can't get a hat out of this keyboard.
23:21:27 <gamemanj> fizzie: "fungot-g" is under your control. Have fun with it until you can run real fungot again. Don't abuse that feature I didn't know about until you mentioned it.
23:21:29 <Koen_> I can't get a bakslash out of mine
23:21:46 <fizzie> It has the Finnish keyboard, so the key with all kinds of diacritics is dead. Normally you get the ASCII hat with that + space, but on Android it just gives a ˆ.
23:21:57 <fizzie> Which is some other kind of a hat.
23:22:24 <Koen_> do you know if i can plug my phone to the computer and type with the  phone keyboard?
23:23:14 <gamemanj> fizzie:try the brainf*** code: ++++++++++[->+++++++++<]>++++.[-]<
23:23:35 <fizzie> Koen_: I've done something like that by using a SSH client on the phone, and then doing screen -x to attach to a screen on the computer.

23:24:15 <gamemanj> Koen_:RDP,VNC are capable, but why type with a phone keyboard...?

23:25:53 <fnordbot> Thanks for the copy-hat.
23:25:58 <Koen_> the backslash is downright impossible, it's alt+shift+/
23:26:32 <Koen_> and the alt key is only on the left side of the keyboard

23:28:01 <gamemanj> What happens when there's two fungots on the same channel?
23:28:24 <fizzie> The command character (^) is in the configuration, I think.
23:28:31 <fizzie> You can have two non-conflicting fungots.
23:29:30 <gamemanj> So, if you had to choose a command character(under this scenario) what would it be?

23:31:37 <int-e> so yes that looks like the code reading fungot.dat (line 15 of fungot.b98)
23:32:20 <gamemanj> ...Actually, let me check...Fizzie, it *is* the ASCII backtick.

23:37:59 <fizzie> int-e: Okay, I have a hypothesis.

23:49:03 <FireFly> Rather than having bots ignore other bots, I think other bots should adopt HackEgo's ZWSP prefix, and then ignore incoming lines starting with ZWSP
23:49:36 <int-e> fizzie: but how does a space go from 22/192 to 3/192... that's wild.
23:49:41 <FireFly> (well, I suppose specifically ignoring lines starting with ZWSP is redundant if it only takes action on a certain prefix)
