00:16:30 <quintopia> ^echo what
00:16:30 <fungot> what what
00:18:10 <quintopia> ...is that intentional behavior in order to make fungot potentially able to do interesting things with other bots?
00:18:10 <fungot> quintopia: no such factoid
00:18:17 <quintopia> oh
00:18:43 <olsner> hmm, ^echo is not bot safe?
00:18:49 <oerjan> i think it was intentional behavior to be silly hth
00:19:36 <quintopia> ^echo yields falsehood when preceded by its own quotation
00:19:37 <fungot> yields falsehood when preceded by its own quotation yields falsehood when preceded by its own quotation
00:19:42 <olsner> was "no such factoid" just markov output or does fungot have a factoid feature?
00:19:42 <fungot> olsner: is it very hard for me to duck from the things you're about to use, without some intermediate abstraction ( except for sunterlib and sunet lateron). would that be
00:19:46 <oerjan> indeed fungot doesn't prevent triggering other bots
00:19:46 <fungot> oerjan: to be exact it's stupid of anyone if they use php instead of another language i remember sawing you helping someone in parsing scheme, can i use that
00:20:00 <oerjan> but it has an extensive ignore list itself
00:20:25 <oerjan> olsner: markov hth

07:38:07 <zzo38> I made up a kind of backtracking parser like: forever { (X,Y)=pop; foreach (W,Z) in action[Y][input[X]] do push(X,call W with argument Z); foreach Z in next[Y][input[X]] do push(X+1,Z); }
07:45:04 <zzo38> How do you compare this to the other kind of parsing?
07:49:46 <zzo38> You will want to start by pushing (length(input),error state) and then (0,0) onto the stack.
07:52:34 -!- vodkode_ has joined.
07:55:36 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
07:59:23 <zzo38> Actually here is better way: push(length(input),error value); push(0,0); forever { pop(X,Y); if X=length(input) then return Y; foreach (W,Z) in action[Y][input[X]] do push(X,call W(Z,X)); foreach Z in next[Y][input[X]] do push(X+1,Z); } At first you must ensure that the input sequence ends with the EOF token

08:04:12 <mroman> something's wrong with my vserver.

08:05:22 <mroman> it reboots for unknown reasons
08:05:30 <mroman> and now my root password doesn't seem to work anylonger.
08:06:05 <mroman> oh wait. no it works.
08:06:28 <mroman> hm
08:06:40 <mroman> maybe the did maintenance on their physical hosts
08:06:50 <mroman> but forgot to inform me that they reboot vms
08:16:21 <zzo38> Is it OK now though?

08:21:48 <mroman> uptime is 17h now
08:21:54 <mroman> it rebooted twice yesterday though
08:25:28 -!- vodkode_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
08:30:22 <zzo38> How is this parser I made up compared with other ones?
08:36:39 <mroman> what parser?
08:37:18 <zzo38> The one which is: add EOF to input buffer; push(length(input),error value); push(0,0); forever { pop(X,Y); if X=length(input) then return Y; foreach (W,Z) in action[Y][input[X]] do push(X,call W(Z,X)); foreach Z in next[Y][input[X]] do push(X+1,Z); }
08:46:41 <mroman> so
08:47:00 <mroman> action[Y][input[X]] contains parse functions?
08:47:42 <mroman> with one character lookahead?
08:48:35 <zzo38> Not quite
08:49:56 <zzo38> Rather, the functions might be used to enter or exit the parser for a particular nonterminal; they can do other things too though.
08:55:59 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Niteoid).
09:01:04 -!- oren has joined.
09:05:44 <mroman> 9% of the human population is disabled?
09:07:04 <mroman> More than 1 billion persons in the world have some form of disability. This corresponds to about 15% of the world's population.
09:07:07 <mroman> WP says it's even 15%
09:08:52 <oren> Probably includes nearsighted people, people who have slight deafness (like me), people who are too old to walk.
09:10:22 <oren> So the number would be pretty high, there are so many people who need glasses
09:12:40 <mroman> If you consider that as "disabled" then yes.
09:12:44 <mroman> Then the number is pretty damn high.
09:13:22 <mroman> if you take the definition of "disability funds" because you can't work due to your disability then the number should be less.
09:14:13 <oren> Well there are different levels, aome jobs might need perfect eyesight or perfect hearing, but most jobs don't.
09:15:57 <oren> On the other hand sometimes people complain about an infuriating noise distracting them, and I say "what noise".
09:19:43 <oren> Hmm... it seems statistically trouble walking or climbing stairs is the most common disability
09:23:35 <mroman> well if you're fit to do another job you'll be forced to retrain for another job.
09:24:24 <mroman> You can't just not work because you can't to the job you originally did any longer, you'll have to learn how to do another job.
09:24:43 <mroman> unless you wanna live of social welfare which isn't really a lot of money.
09:24:51 <oren> Right
09:25:06 <mroman> *off
09:25:29 <mroman> unless you have some disability pension
09:25:34 <mroman> I don't really know how they work.
09:25:56 <oren> Although I think many of the people who acquire a disablity do so because they simply are getting old...
09:26:55 <oren> Everything from their eyes to their bones starts to have problems
09:27:08 <mroman> there's insurance against incapacity to work
09:27:38 <mroman> but I'm not sure if that's an additional optional insurance or one you have to have or one you automatically get.
09:28:20 <oren> this stuff probably varies greatly by jurisdiction
09:29:15 <mroman> Yeah.
09:29:24 <mroman> It appears that 60% of my salary is "insured".
09:30:05 <mroman> if I'm 70% disabled I get 60% of my original salary paid for two years
09:30:20 <mroman> but after that it stops :)
09:30:38 <mroman> so I'd have two years to find a job I can still do
09:30:53 <mroman> or if I'm to disabled to continue meaningful work I have to apply for "income disability"
09:31:14 <mroman> (there's "work disability" == "can't do your job anymore" and "income disability" == "can't do any meaningful job anymore")
09:31:38 <mroman> oh
09:32:04 <mroman> unless I'm older than 50 years at the time of becoming disabled
09:32:10 <mroman> then there's no two years restriction.
09:32:36 <mroman> oren: this stuff varies a lot by jurisdiction, your employer
09:32:44 <mroman> and which insurance company your employer uses.
09:34:03 <mroman> and if I die my children will get money
09:34:23 <mroman> "orphan's pension"?
09:34:34 <mroman> I guess that's the english word for that.
09:34:59 <mroman> which is 60% of something that also xx% of something else
09:35:10 <mroman> It's aimed at getting them through school
09:35:15 <mroman> but not to live off it for longer periods.
09:35:21 <mroman> but I don't have children.
09:35:22 <mroman> :D

20:12:42 <tswett> So, are there infinitely many pairs of 5-smooth numbers differing by 2?
20:13:33 <tswett> According to http://oeis.org/A219794, it would be "very surprising" if there were.
20:13:40 <tswett> I don't see why that's the case.
20:23:42 <tswett> I can think of a bunch. 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 3 and 5, 4 and 6...
20:25:05 <int-e> It's because the density of the 5-smooth number is so low; there are only O(log(n)^3) of them up to n. (Compare this to primes with O(n/log n) primes up to n.)
20:25:30 <tswett> That makes sense.
20:25:44 <tswett> Some Haskelling suggests that the largest pair is 160 and 162.
20:26:06 <tswett> Which is just the doubling of the largest pair of numbers differing by 1, which is 80 and 81.
20:26:52 <tswett> The only pair differing by 2 which isn't "obvious" given the pairs differing by 1 is (25, 27).
20:27:20 <int-e> Oh that's another funny detail. lim inf a(n) >= 2 (an amazing fact, hmm) means that only finitely many pairs arise by doubling
20:28:24 <int-e> Because it says that there are only finitely many pairs of 5-smooth numbers with difference 1.
20:29:04 <tswett> The only pair differing by 3 not "obvious" from prior pairs is (125, 128). For 4, 5, and 6, there are no "non-obvious" pairs.

20:34:12 <Decim> I'm making an AI what should it do
20:34:25 <TieSoul> make coffee
20:34:32 <tswrcclt> It should play Brood War.
20:34:54 <TieSoul> it should write functional Brainfuck code
20:35:06 <ais523> it should analyze a source tarball and work out how to compile it
20:35:27 <Decim> Omai
20:35:27 <tswrcclt> It should analyze English text and classify words into parts of speech.
20:35:33 <TieSoul> it should analyze a source tarball and then compile it
20:35:46 <tswrcclt> Note that my suggestions are actually serious.
20:35:47 <Decim> These are really good ideas
20:36:08 <TieSoul> it should play arbitrary NES games
20:36:16 <TieSoul> someone did that already so it's possible
20:36:36 <Decim> Yeah
20:36:46 <Decim> The brainfuck thing though
20:37:33 <TieSoul> (btw, I wonder if you could make Prolog write brainfuck code to solve a particular problem)
20:38:14 <TieSoul> (it would output all possible solutions too which is nice)
20:38:31 <Decim> What did you mean by writing functional code I would have to make the algorithm learn the entire language
20:38:37 <Decim> And idk the language so
20:38:48 <tswrcclt> It's a pretty simple language.
20:38:50 <Decim> Guess I have to learn it before I start?
20:39:09 <TieSoul> brainfuck is about the simplest language ever
20:39:16 <tswrcclt> Eight commands. "Add one", "subtract one", and so forth.

20:49:54 <Decim> Int-e there's a lot better stuff than that
20:50:37 <Decim> Also more on point I don't have enough space for something like a tarball compiler
20:52:10 <int-e> Decim: Of course there is. And it's good to see that even absolute crap has 2GB RAM, and normal laptops have 4GB or 8GB.
20:53:53 <Decim> What's your setup Int-e
20:54:04 <Decim> I forgot mine
20:54:13 <int-e> Still, memory usage matters; on VPSs, RAM determines the price.
20:55:23 <int-e> I have 8GB RAM in a PC at home... which is too small for some things I'm doing. (ghc is pushing the limits; some big Isabelle theories are taking off the lid)
20:57:09 <int-e> But lambdabot is running on a VM with 512MB RAM + 512MB swap, which is not enough to build it anymore.
21:00:02 <Decim> What are you doing
21:00:10 <Decim> And wtf is an isabelle theory

21:00:42 <int-e> Compiling haskell-src-exts with ghc-7.10.1 takes 5GB...
21:00:55 <int-e> ...it's a dependency of lambdabot
21:01:03 <Decim> Take me to the begining of this whole ghc stuff isabelle theory idk I havent payed attention to stuff
21:01:22 <Decim> Don't you guys have articles or something
21:01:45 <int-e> None of this has to do anything with #esoteric really.
21:01:53 <Decim> Probably
21:02:05 <Decim> Why does it depend on lambdabot
21:02:20 <int-e> Isabelle is a proof assistent, http://isabelle.in.tum.de/ , and she's quite memory-hungry.
21:02:33 <Decim> ...what would happen if you deleted every version of lambdabot

22:49:26 <b_jonas> zzo38: yes, it's understandible, but there's some difficulties:
22:49:44 <b_jonas> it would be nice if there was an introductory paragraph at the beginning to tell what the whole thing is about;
22:50:11 -!- tswrcclt has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity).
22:50:27 <zzo38> OK, is there anything else to consider?
22:50:34 <b_jonas> I think it would read easier if you first told the simpler case about how matching an input phrase and calling the corresponding method is handled, and only after that told about phrases with commas;
22:50:59 <b_jonas> tell somewhere what character set the strings and vocabulary uses;
22:52:21 <b_jonas> maybe, before telling how a method, a class, and the list of properties is represented in the input, put an introduction telling what those things are for;
22:53:22 <b_jonas> in particular, mention that a method has an invocant which isn't listed in the argument list;
22:55:26 <b_jonas> and maybe call the "message number" of a method an "error message number" or something instead
22:55:47 <b_jonas> because it seems to be used for handling the error when a suitable object is not found;
22:56:03 <zzo38> Yes, that is what the "message number" does
22:57:59 <b_jonas> in the listing of tasks the main loop does, split "Parse the command." to two parts: find the method to invoke for the command, then find the arguments for that method from the command using selector methods.
22:58:09 <zzo38> OK
22:58:31 <b_jonas> Because that really seems two steps to me.
23:00:56 -!- Patashu has joined.
23:02:03 <b_jonas> where you say "C rounding", does that mean the rule from old C (which allows two possibilities for some inputs) or modern C rounding from later standards?
23:02:42 <zzo38> I don't actually know.
23:04:03 <zzo38> OASYS was originally written in C++ though.
23:05:40 <b_jonas> um, when you say "You must invoke the selector method on each object of the class", how is the class determined?
23:06:20 <b_jonas> oh, is it determined from matching the class phrase?
23:06:29 <zzo38> O, it is determined by which class phrase it matches.
23:06:32 <b_jonas> hmm
23:06:34 <zzo38> Yes, that is correct
23:07:08 <b_jonas> how does this matching work then if the class phrases are variable length and the method phrases can have object slot gaps and fixed words mixed in any order?
23:07:28 -!- oerjan has joined.
23:08:45 <zzo38> It works just by which matches, such as if "blue key" is a class phrase and "put <obj> in <obj>" is a method phrase, then "put blue key in blue key" will match. I don't know what else you meant?
23:09:29 <oerjan> @tell Gregor glogbot could need an NTP update hth
23:09:29 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
23:09:58 <b_jonas> zzo38: I mean what if there's an ambiguity, or at least a word occurs in many phrases? will the matcher backtrack to try all method phrases with all combinations of class phrases to find a match? that seems unlikely
23:10:31 <zzo38> I suppose it is implementation-defined, although it has to try to find the match.
23:10:49 <b_jonas> I see
23:10:53 <zzo38> My own implementation in BASIC does use backtracking though.
23:11:14 <zzo38> I have the C++ implementation too but don't remember how it works.
23:11:33 -!- variable has joined.
23:12:05 <b_jonas> then maybe mention that this is implementation-defined
23:12:52 <zzo38> OK
23:13:10 <zzo38> As long as it gets the correct result it doesn't matter how it is implemented though.
23:13:40 <b_jonas> it can matter if there's an ambiguity, or if it doesn't always find the match
23:13:56 <b_jonas> in fact
23:14:01 <b_jonas> it can even matter what error message you get
23:14:28 <zzo38> OK, I will try to figure it out
23:14:30 <b_jonas> like if you say "put red key in blue key" the error message could tell you it doesn't know about "red key" but the rest seems fine
23:15:01 <zzo38> The C++ implementation (as well as my BASIC implementation) will just print "I don't understand you." if that happens.
23:15:11 <b_jonas> ok
23:15:31 <b_jonas> I guess that's mostly enough because in this case "red" is likely not in the vocabulary
23:15:42 <b_jonas> a game like this will generally use single words when possible
23:15:54 <zzo38> If that's the case it will print "I don't understand the word 'red'." when that occurs.
23:16:10 <zzo38> But that's really an implementation detail anyways I suppose.
23:16:33 <b_jonas> yep

23:19:40 <zzo38> OK
23:30:30 <oerjan> <TieSoul> mroman: I'm working on a lexer and parser system for arbitrary grammars <-- that's undecidable hth
23:30:59 <ais523> oerjan: you can just enter an infinite loop trying to decide
23:31:10 <ais523> I'm also working on a parser system, but currently only for LALR(1)
23:31:10 <oerjan> whether you are actually trying the impossible or just don't know about the chomsky hierarchy, i do not yet know.
23:31:26 <oerjan> ais523: hm i suppose
23:31:51 <ais523> "arbitrary grammars" could mean type 1 I guess, for someone who doesn't realise what type 0 is?
23:32:19 <oerjan> type 2 rather, iirc
23:32:24 <ais523> or, well, yes
23:32:38 <ais523> is type 2 decidable even if you allow an empty RHS?
23:33:07 <ais523> type 1 is decidable anyway just by brute force
23:33:29 <oerjan> type 1 is PSPACE, essentially
23:33:38 <oerjan> (equivalent in strenght)
23:33:45 <ais523> right, it doesn't look very computationally fast
23:34:09 <oerjan> type 2 is decidable in O(n^3)
23:34:32 <oerjan> well for a fixed grammar
23:35:07 <ais523> oerjan: right, the bison manual mentions that offhand
23:35:18 <ais523> and I forgot until you mentioned it
23:35:18 <oerjan> perhaps even including the grammar.
23:35:25 <ais523> huh, the post correspondence problem is neat
23:35:33 <oerjan> unambiguous type 2 in O(n^2)
23:35:42 <ais523> it's got to be possible to make an esolang out of that
23:35:49 <ais523> given that it's a simple undecidable problem
23:36:14 <ais523> oerjan: and LR(k) for any k in O(n), right?
23:36:15 <oerjan> and earley parsers gracefully get both of those as well as O(n) for LR(1)
23:36:24 <oerjan> well yeah
23:36:26 <ais523> err, for any fixed k
23:36:50 <oerjan> LR(k) = LR(1) on language acceptance level
23:36:51 <ais523> something that amused me a lot is that the syntax yacc uses as input is LR(2) but not LR(1)
23:37:04 <oerjan> heh
23:37:05 <ais523> the yacc-in-yacc in the POSIX standard gets around it by doing some of the parsing in the lexer, which is cheating
23:37:18 <oerjan> how did they manage that
23:37:31 <ais523> basically there doesn't have to be any delimiter between rules
23:37:45 <ais523> and an identifier is a rule LHS if it's followed by a colon, part of the RHS otherwise
23:38:03 <oerjan> "we'll make a parser generator that can parse any reasonable language, and then make its own language not fit" best idea
23:38:09 <ais523> when you see an identifier after a rule RHS, therefore, you have to reduce the RHS if there's a colon after it, shift the identifier otherwise
23:38:18 <ais523> = two symbols of lookahead
23:38:36 <ais523> *a colon after the identifier
23:39:13 <oerjan> hah
23:39:20 <ais523> now I'm wondering if there's some crazy way to get it to be LR(1) anyway by rewriting the grammar with a bunch of intermediate steps
23:39:38 <ais523> isn't there some universal way to convert LR(2) to LR(1) and still match the same set of strings? just the structure of the grammar is all wrong
23:39:50 <oerjan> yes, that's what i implied above
23:40:08 <ais523> the POSIX standard's method of working around this is to define "identifier and a colon" as a separate token, which is really blatant cheating
