17:39:45 <rdococ> now imagine we pick a variable, x, and do Ψx
17:40:26 <rdococ> well, that's a function x=x so it would be x
17:41:42 <oerjan> that doesn't work, too ambiguous.
17:43:09 <oerjan> don't treat variables as functions of themselves if you have any higher-order functions in sight.
17:43:44 <oerjan> also, burn all the high school books which do this twh
17:50:31 <oerjan> <myname> since christmas or halloween might involve sex, taneb couldn't have invented it <-- this argument has been considered and rejected before, it doesn't count if the sex is added after invention hth
17:55:05 <rdococ> x is in no way a function
17:55:15 <rdococ> I don't see what it could be
17:55:21 <rdococ> but let's make it be anyway
17:56:08 <boily> x(t) is often encoutered in mechanics: position of an object w.r.t. time.
17:56:58 <boily> strangely enough, the cyrillic script isn't used in mathematics...
17:57:17 <rdococ> so... if Ψx = ξ... does that have any special properties?
17:58:07 <oerjan> boily: that's because wolfram hasn't managed to find out how palatalize functions yet hth
17:58:28 <rdococ> well, what you said above seems to suggest that (Ψf)(x) = Ψf(x)
17:58:33 <oerjan> oh read that as mathematica
17:59:05 * oerjan procrastinates getting glasses some more
17:59:27 <oerjan> rdococ: well that's just precedence.
17:59:32 <rdococ> Ψf(x) = x... we could say that Ψf is the identity function but I don't think that's quite it
17:59:39 <oerjan> and comes natural to all haskellers.
18:00:29 <oerjan> rdococ: it's pretty much the definition of the identity function hth
18:01:57 <rdococ> but say you take sin(theta), store it in a variable x. then Ψx = theta
18:02:20 <rdococ> at least in my vision of it
18:02:52 <oerjan> now you're not just type incorrect but impure as well
18:10:23 <rdococ> log(x*y) = log(x) + log(y)... so what about log(x+y)?
18:12:15 <int-e> which is actually a useful way of writing it
18:12:43 <rdococ> it seems like a natural lower operation to addition
18:14:28 <rdococ> imagine a culture that prefers the ratio operator, x:y = x/(x+y)
18:16:15 <oerjan> = log(x+y), that was the point
18:17:07 -!- moony has quit (Quit: Leaving).
18:19:28 <rdococ> inverse ratio, x;y = -xy/(y-1)... so 2;2 = -4/1 = -4... and 4;4 = -16/3...
18:40:15 <rdococ> wanna know a cool science fact?
18:40:42 <rdococ> we are two thirds rust...
18:40:47 <rdococ> hydrogen rust, to be specific
18:52:56 <int-e> (I made it as far as reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust before deciding that I don't want to fall victim to https://xkcd.com/386/ )
18:53:21 <oerjan> more like 3/4 hydrogen ash hth
18:54:16 <int-e> oerjan's making it worse.
18:55:36 <oerjan> i suppose the part that is still hydrogen doesn't count as ash...
18:56:09 <oerjan> but that can't be that much by mass.
18:57:03 <int-e> "Many studies have been conducted regarding the chemical composition of wood ash, with widely varying results. Some quote calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as the major constituent,[1] others find no carbonate at all, but calcium oxide (CaO) instead.[2] Some show as much as twelve percent iron oxide[2] while others show none,[3] though iron oxide is often introduced through contamination with soil."

18:59:01 <int-e> I think I'll gloss over the difficulty of producing 1/4 Helium-4
18:59:38 <int-e> (Also I guess that if you're unlucky you'll get a neutron.)
19:00:27 <oerjan> um 1/4 helium-4 is what you start with hth
19:00:50 <oerjan> i suppose i missed an ash in there
19:02:15 <int-e> ashes don't grow on trees?
19:03:50 <int-e> though maybe you could splice an ash branch on another tree, hmm

20:48:04 <myname> oerjan: i don't see how sex was added to the "celebration of love" afterwards instead of being a planed part
20:49:20 <oerjan> you're aware of the virgin birth, right?
20:49:28 <oerjan> no sex involved at all hth
20:50:36 <myname> but wouldn't that mean Taneb has to be a few centuries old?
20:51:08 <oerjan> well he already invented the universe, i don't see how christmas makes that worse.
21:07:08 <int-e> damn, another comic hit the waiting for updates wall.
21:07:36 <oerjan> what's the waiting for updates wall
21:08:11 <int-e> Everblue, in this case.
21:08:30 <myname> let me just open my comic reader
21:11:37 <myname> i am in this weird state of having enough to read but still wanting more
21:17:10 <int-e> it doesn't help that quite some webcomic authors took off over the christmas holidays
21:18:00 <myname> do you have a good source for new comics?
21:20:00 <int-e> nah, basically I just follow links from other comics

21:34:14 <fizzie> "I remember my father said that he remembers as a boy listening to Sir Belleus, the Finnish composer, --"
21:34:17 <fizzie> Good job, whoever wrote these subtitles.
21:35:15 <fizzie> I was watching this BBC show, QI, from Netflix (free trial). I don't know if the Netflix subtitles are their own, or BBC's.
21:35:51 -!- tromp has joined.
21:36:17 <shachaf> that is a quite interesting transcription hth
21:36:30 <int-e> Oh that would have been funny if I had known about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Sibelius
21:38:00 <fizzie> As far as Finnish composers go, you can hardly get more famous, but I'm not sure where that really ranks globally.
21:38:18 <fizzie> "Sir Belleus" would be a funny name for a Finn in any case.
21:39:25 <fizzie> In the movie Swordfish, there's a "Finnish" hacker guy called "Axl Torvalds" (I imagine the name has something to do with Linus), and when he's speaking "Finnish" it's actually German.
21:40:13 <shachaf> Are you sure he isn't speaking "Swedish"?
21:40:36 <fizzie> I think it was implied it was Finnish, though I don't really know how.
21:40:44 <fizzie> Maybe the subtitles said something like [SPEAKING FINNISH].
21:41:03 <oerjan> sir belleus sounds like what monty python would call him, so obviously right for a british series hth
21:41:08 <shachaf> German is a pretty widely recognized language, though.
21:41:39 <int-e> Hmm, I can't tell whether I'm ignorant or whether he's just not that well known. Both are plausible explanations, possibly in combination.
21:42:35 <fizzie> IMDb "Trivia" page for the movie says: "Axl Torvalts [sic] is actually speaking German in the interrogation scene, not Finnish."
21:43:17 <oerjan> i know about sibelius hth
21:43:26 <fizzie> (I'm pretty sure they did get the surname "right" in the actual movie, though.)
21:47:12 <oerjan> int-e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5zg_af9b8c

21:50:41 <int-e> wouldn't have watched it anyway (bandwidth), but "This video contains content from Studio Hamburg, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."
21:51:03 <int-e> considerate is the word.
21:52:51 <shachaf> It's more an audio than a video.
21:52:59 <fizzie> Heh. Worked for me in the UK.
21:53:49 <int-e> I could probably circumvent it
21:58:33 <shachaf> Tanebvention = Taneb circumvention?
