Write a program in 4,096 BF instructions or less that runs on a tape with exactly 30,000 one-byte cells. It must output, in alternation, 307200 bytes interpreted as 256-color pixels on a 640x480 canvas, and 735 bytes interpreted as 8-bit 44100 Hz mono samples of a sixtieth of a second of audio. 19:20:52 LOL 19:21:08 also 19:21:08 why not 160x200 19:21:11 that'd be better 19:21:48 Are you sure? 19:22:07 yes 19:22:10 that's only 32000 bytes 19:22:11 :P 19:22:16 and why 4096 19:22:20 for BF you'd need 16384 19:22:28 actually someone DID write an intro in BF 19:22:29 using text 19:22:32 at 102x50 19:22:35 it was 9 kb i thin 19:22:36 k 19:22:37 but EPOCH 19:22:41 clearly the intro shouldn't be in brainfuck 19:22:55 it should be in machine code, containing a brainfuck interpreter and its program 19:23:19 My friend did that 19:23:27 a ~200-byte x86 BF interpreter 19:23:27 that fits in a bootsector 19:23:32 reads from bootdisk 19:23:36 A lot of folks put game of life into demos 19:23:41 game of lie 19:23:41 that's sort of similar ? 19:23:44 http://asiekierka.boot-land.net/nybblings_rc1.zip - Final, though might still have a bug or two, I seriously doubt it. 19:24:28 Nope, 4,096 BF instructions. 19:24:38 640x480 so it can look fancy.

I agree, but: 23:27:42 mycroftiv, in what way in Android not open? 23:27:49 Jailbreaking; 23:27:53 you aren't root on the device without jailbreaking it 23:27:58 It's so good it cancels out. 23:28:14 Sgeo: Included apps aren't open, f.ex. 23:28:16 How does jailbreaking work, exactly? 23:28:26 Be less vague. 23:28:32 Sgeo: its usually based on a privilege escalation exploit against the OS kernel 23:28:46 You plug in your phone, run a program on your computer: 23:28:52 Fizz bing pang 23:28:56 Broken. 23:29:44 Reversible by resetting the phone's OS. 23:29:58 google is actually amazingly sharp at the 'its open but its not game' - youtube was telling me to download google chrome for linux - but its license agreement forbids me to copy, reverse engineer, try to access the source code... 23:30:15 mycroftiv: Chromium is open 23:30:25 ehirdiphone: but the chrome browser they wanted me to download was NOT 23:30:31 Chrome = Chromium + branding. 23:30:32 i understand the scenario exactly 23:30:40 mycroftiv: Firefox is the same. M 23:30:52 No. Chrome = Chromium + branding + RLZ 23:30:58 Nobody else can build and distribute Firefox. 23:31:03 no, it is not the same, for using firefox I did not have to agree to the same restrictive licensing terms as chrome asked me to 23:31:16 They must use different branding. 23:31:31 trust me, the chrome download license agreement is a hell of a lot different than mozilla license crap, which is still annoying, im an ICEWEASEL user 23:31:40 W 23:32:06 Wonderful, zealotry (ideology without relevant effect). 23:32:23 its not zealotry, its doing what the lawyers said they had to 23:32:44 Fight tha powah. 23:32:46 if debian wanted to be able to patch firefox independently of mozilla and distribute that, they didnt have the legal choice to call it firefox 23:33:05 so, I fail to see any zealotry whatsoever 23:33:11 I was not referencing that. 23:33:36 ok, i dereferenced the pointer wrong, fix the stack 23:33:59 Anyway, too much typing effort for iPhone usage. One thing no phone is good at is long typing. 23:34:17 tell me what *zealotry == 23:34:33 ^^^^ 23:37:42 Anyway, let's just abolish copyright. There, debate ended with my own extremist position. 23:37:54 im fine with that solution 23:38:02 doesnt seem extremist to me 23:38:14 Also patents, EULAs. 23:39:02 yup, i think the overall consequences of that would actually be stimulative to the economy, despite a lot of short term disruption 23:39:47 WOAH! 23:39:51 suddenly, it all works 23:39:59 BOOM 23:40:08 Hmm, I like the idea of abolishing EULAs. 23:40:11 SimonRC: oh no, we're doomed! 23:40:18 after changing the line in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (may or may not have made a difference)... 23:40:21 although, for mechanical processes and inventions, there is an argument that patents actually *encourage* sharing of information, because without patents, there is a very high incentive to keep inventions secret and simply use them for competitive advantage 23:40:23 the magic command is: sudo iw dev wlan0 scan 23:40:36 suddenly, I can see all these networks 23:40:42 uorygl: They are already legally dubious. 23:40:58 * SimonRC tries going wireless-only 23:41:01 If you want to take some sort of platonic rationality-assuming mathematical perspectives, having EULAs is equivalent to not having EULAs, because companies can just make you sign a contract before ever handing over the software. 23:41:05 just upheld in the apple/psystart case though 23:41:11 s/s// 23:41:41 yay! 23:41:54 In practice, of course, people are more likely to buy software and then sign a EULA for the software they've already paid for than sign a contract and then have access to the software. 23:41:56 uorygl: correct, one of the big problems with totally abolishing IP law is that there would be a number of very perverse consequences, such as what you just mentioned and the decision to 'hoard' inventions rather than publishing them 23:41:56 well that was easy 23:42:24 now if only / wasn't on a HD that used external power, I might be aple to actually take this laptop to places 23:42:30 *able 23:42:33 uorygl: Here, using my estimation of your economic beliefs to make you oppose copyright. 23:42:42 Erm. Let me. 23:42:43 Hoarding inventions is such a cute idea. 23:42:45 and the battery management was a bit better I supposed 23:42:48 *suppose 23:43:08 the point of patents was to stop trade secrets 23:44:03 uorygl: Copyright = government granted monopoly on the copying of pieces of information, which cannot be created or destroed per se. 23:44:07 intellectual property law with sane boundaries and time limits was intended to serve as an incentive on *behalf* of the open publication of information 23:44:17 *destroyed 23:44:28 By "per se", do you mean "by itself"? 23:44:31 * Sgeo is in a patent 23:44:36 If not, use a different phrase, because that's what "per se" means. 23:44:59 http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4961476/description.html 23:44:59 uorygl: Oh, shut up, prescriptivist. 23:45:38 I can't tell what you mean by "per se". 23:46:10 Nothing, really. You can't create or destroy abstract information. It's not physical. 23:46:21 * uorygl nods. 23:46:39 i suspect right now if we elimated all copy protection for software, for instance, the effect would be to make a lot of current proprietary software distributors to switch over to an entirely remote-access client/server model where you pay for access time and you never get a copy of the software on your machine even as a binary 23:46:52 I wonder how you estimate my economic beliefs. 23:47:02 mycroftiv: oh how very web-2.0 23:47:10 uorygl: Yudkowsky's. 23:47:22 I wonder how anyone estimates Yudkowsky's economic beliefs. 23:47:26 SimonRC: i think you mean how very 60s timesharing ;) 23:47:51 Similar to Hanson's but less... Prediction Market. 23:48:05 Y dem capitalise iPhone? 23:48:08 mycroftiv: webmail? google docs? 23:48:23 * uorygl nods. 23:48:51 uorygl: So, completely free capitalist Market. 23:49:17 I think Robin Hanson is an anarcho-capitalist. 23:49:29 I mean, in many ways, he is. 23:49:43 No, he's a futarchist. Stupid idea btw. M 23:49:50 That too. 23:50:25 SimonRC: yeah im aware that business model is already in effect and never went away after its initial appearance decades ago, its the oldest new thing in history - and google's understanding of the gpl2 loophole where they can create as many derivative works as they want and make them available on network, not distribute them, is brilliant. 23:50:26 Anarchocapitalism is silly. 23:50:53 How can you enforce the monopoly on access to property? 23:51:03 That's the backbone of capitalism. 23:52:00 Well, I think calling it an artificial monopoly on copying information doesn't really help me understand anything. 23:52:18 all anarchism is based on the idea that people choose to cooperate voluntarily - and follow agreed upon rules without the use of force, in general. this is widely regarded as unrealistic. 23:52:30 You oppose government monopolies. Yes? 23:52:35 mycroftiv: Incorrect. 23:53:08 Removing monopolies results in a price that is, in some sense, fair. 23:53:24 Anarchism's safety is in dissociation by small communities. 23:53:49 But that can't retrieve property. 23:54:00 Not wihout coersion. 23:54:03 Without 23:54:09 lets not define anarchism, it reminds me of the talk page for the wikipedia anarchism article which is one of the most verbose and long running pointless arguments i have ever seen 23:54:29 Existence without state. 23:54:42 Monopolies make the price move in a certain direction away from "fairness". 23:57:04 i.e., without community sanctioned coersion. 23:57:04 (aka violence) 23:57:04 Note: I am not an anarchist. 23:58:01 Talk, you people! 23:58:01 Boring ^ 23:58:44 -!- Slereah has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:49 -!- fungot has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:55 -!- coppro has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:55 -!- oerjan has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:55 -!- dbc has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:55 -!- yiyus has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:55 -!- Cerise has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:56 -!- quantumEd has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:56 -!- puzzlet has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 23:58:56 -!- EgoBot has quit (farmer.freenode.net irc.freenode.net).
