00:49:46 <CakeProphet> good esolang

00:49:51 <CakeProphet> except that there's no spec for it so not really.
00:51:33 <Zondartul> aww... I thought one of you esolang programmers would hack together something that resembles it by now :P
00:52:12 <elliott> We have almost as many Homestuck readers as Finns now.
00:53:00 <oerjan> *gasp*
00:53:11 <oerjan> ...is there any overlap?
00:53:39 <CakeProphet> the world-destroying semantics have been a little tricky to implement.

01:30:14 <Sgeo|web> elliott: There's a complication. I can't just randomly block the thread making the AW calls
01:30:42 <Sgeo|web> Because that needs to call aw_wait() on a regular basis. And during the aw_wait() calls is when events are triggered
01:30:49 <elliott> Sgeo|web: It wouldn't block.
01:31:18 <elliott> Sgeo|web: I can help you hash out an actual design sometime, but not right now. You can definitely make it work out though.
01:33:17 <CakeProphet> elliott is busy taking over the world.
01:34:24 <Sgeo|web> Someone did write code using .NET's new async stuff

01:38:00 <elliott> it doesn't.
01:38:05 <elliott> STM is something completely different.
01:38:15 <CakeProphet> well not calls...
01:38:20 <Sgeo|web> elliott: just curious, why use an MVar instead of STM?
01:38:31 <elliott> Sgeo|web: STM buys you nothing here. I presume you mean TMVars.
01:38:42 <elliott> You don't want transactional semantics, you want the lower-level interface of MVar.
01:38:54 <elliott> There's never a conflict by definition anyway.

01:43:24 <Sgeo|web> Well, if you're using it in a header, then you're forcing it on people, is one issue

01:47:29 <Sgeo|web> "If you import the right header files you suddenly have names like hex, left, plus or count in your global scope. This might be surprising if you are not aware that std:: contains these names. If you also try to use these names locally it can lead to quite some confusion."

03:08:27 <CakeProphet> but I recall it being a longer option name.
03:08:29 <CakeProphet> last time I asked. :P
03:08:51 <Gregor> I assume by "get debugging symbols" you mean "have debugging symbols in the output binary"?
03:11:53 <CakeProphet> correct.
03:14:31 <Gregor> Ohhh, then you want -gdwarf-2 -feliminate-dwarf2-dups -fno-merge-debug-strings -fmem-report -fprofile-arcs.

05:49:25 <CakeProphet> too much legalese to sift through without obvious definitions.

06:48:56 <CakeProphet> pizzas are a good way to describe composing data types in Haskell
06:49:14 <CakeProphet> a cheese pizza is basically the most basic kind of pizza, a pizza with nothing on it.
06:49:19 <elliott> apart from
06:49:20 <elliott> cheese
06:49:30 <CakeProphet> right but almost every other kind of pizza has cheese
06:49:33 <CakeProphet> it's the baseline.
06:49:36 <CakeProphet> for being a pizza.
06:50:16 <CakeProphet> so in a pepperoni pizza, you just include the cheese pizza, and pepperonis :P
06:50:45 <CakeProphet> that's... basically as far as I've gone with this analogy. It breaksdown rapidly from there. :P
06:52:36 <fizzie> I know a person who only eats pizza with no cheese on it.
06:52:46 <fizzie> So it's definitely not a requirement for being a pizza.
06:53:53 <CakeProphet> well pizza does have a very wide definition.
06:54:47 <CakeProphet> none of the typical definitions of pizza eliminate the cheese and only a few eliminate tomato sauce ("white" pizzas)
06:54:57 <CakeProphet> typical kinds of pizzas, rather.
06:55:01 <CakeProphet> not definitions.
06:55:26 <fizzie> Yes, that was confusing. Anyway, there are several "standard" no-cheese pizza flavours in Italy.
06:55:58 <fizzie> Sadly I can't recall the names; they're not exactly widely available e.g. in Finland.
06:56:25 <CakeProphet> white pizza is the best.
06:56:29 <CakeProphet> definitely my favorite.
06:57:17 <CakeProphet> a "vegan pizza" would certainly have no cheese.
06:58:03 <fizzie> Pizza Marinara is at least a no-cheese thing.
06:58:40 <fizzie> And it's very much a "standard" pizza.
07:00:51 <fizzie> (It's listed as one of the three official Neapolitan pizzas in the Wikipedia article; it seems that means one of the three mentioned in the EU trademark for "Pizza Napoletana".
07:01:13 <fizzie> "‘Pizza Napoletana’ TSG is round with a variable diameter not exceeding 35 cm and a raised rim and
07:01:13 <fizzie> is garnished and baked in the oven. The central part is 0,4 cm thick, with a tolerance of ± 10 %, and
07:01:13 <fizzie> the rim is 1-2 cm thick. The overall pizza must be tender, elastic and easily foldable into four."

07:01:29 <fizzie> — using a spoon, place 70 to 100 g of crushed, peeled tomatoes in the centre of the disc of dough,
07:01:29 <fizzie> — using a spiralling motion, spread the tomato over the whole central surface,
07:01:29 <fizzie> — using a spiralling motion, add the salt to the surface of the tomato,
07:01:29 <fizzie> — in the same manner, scatter a pinch of oregano on the surface,
07:01:29 <fizzie> — chop a peeled clove of garlic into thin slices and place them on top of the tomato,
07:01:31 <fizzie> — using an oil dispenser with a spout and a spiralling motion, distribute over the surface area, from
07:01:33 <fizzie> the centre outwards, 4-5 g of extra virgin olive oil, with a tolerance of + 20 %."
07:01:35 <fizzie> The best trademark document.
07:01:56 <fizzie> It doesn't even specify the direction of the spiralling motion. :(
07:02:31 <pikhq_> I do believe the defining aspect of pizza is that it is flattened bread with toppings.
07:02:40 <Jafet> It depends on which hemisphere you live in
07:03:10 <CakeProphet> European food laws = the most ridiculous thing.
07:03:15 <CakeProphet> especially in Italy.
07:03:34 <fizzie> "Italian open pie made of thin bread dough spread with a spiced mixture of e.g. tomato sauce and cheese" --wordnet.
07:03:48 <CakeProphet> well, I can see benefits of having food laws and drawbacks.
07:04:02 <CakeProphet> the pizza has largely become the amazing thing it is today thanks to American corruption.
07:04:11 <fizzie> "A savoury dish of Italian origin, consisting of a flat, usually round base of dough, baked with a topping of tomatoes, cheese, and any of various other ingredients, such as meat, anchovies, or olives." --OED: so as a corollary, if it tastes bad, it's not a pizza?
07:04:22 <pikhq_> CakeProphet: s/American/Italian/
07:04:23 <elliott> You could get a refund based on that.
07:04:30 <pikhq_> The corruption was the doing of Italians in America.
07:05:12 <CakeProphet> yes, many Americans were, are, and come from European immigrants.
07:06:26 <pikhq_> What I mean is "it was literally done by first-generation Italian immigrants".
07:06:31 <CakeProphet> as a downside to loose food regulation, American food companies can package almost any concoction with a few basic ingredients and call it something that it really shouldn't be called at that point.
07:07:20 <fizzie> Coincidentally, fi:pissa = en:pee.
07:07:50 <pikhq_> CakeProphet: Actually, it's not quite that loose.
07:09:08 <CakeProphet> comparatively it is, but yes there are regulations.
07:09:17 <elliott> wyngz
07:09:25 <pikhq_> Wyngz is actually a regulated term.
07:10:13 <elliott> i know
07:10:29 <fizzie> "FSIS has a standard of identity in Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 381.170(b)(7) that defines a poultry "wing." The use of the term "wing" cannot be used on any poultry product unless it complies with this standard of identity. In comparison, FSIS allows the use of the term "wyngz" to denote a product that is in the shape of a wing or a bite-size appetizer type product under the following conditions in which the Agency considers its u
07:10:29 <fizzie> se fanciful and not misleading: [5 conditions]"
07:10:56 <fizzie> "-- the smallest letter in the descriptive name is no smaller than 1/3 the size of the largest letter used in "wyngz;" and --"
07:11:02 <fizzie> And you call the pizza trademark silly.
07:11:22 <pikhq_> I don't. If anything, US food regulations are even more silly.
07:12:02 <CakeProphet> I meant "ridiculous" in the sense that they're unecessarily strict, not silly.
07:12:11 <CakeProphet> they are certainly better worded.
07:12:16 <CakeProphet> there is no mistaking what an Italian pizza is.
07:12:29 <CakeProphet> American wings = ??????
07:14:53 <pikhq_> Has to be an actual wing from a chicken.
07:14:57 <CakeProphet> what "wyngz" are is even more confusing.
07:15:08 <pikhq_> Wyngz are... Perverse.
07:15:36 <CakeProphet> so if I create a solid block of macaroni and cheese in the shape of a wing, then that could be wyngz?
07:15:43 <CakeProphet> I guess the Agency has to decide.
07:16:38 <CakeProphet> I know that in order to be "potato chips" it must be fried.
07:16:45 <CakeProphet> thus why Pringles are "potato crisps"
07:17:14 <pikhq_> Per their current definition of wyngz, it has to be white chicken meat in a bite-sized form...
07:17:28 <CakeProphet> bite...sized?
07:17:49 <pikhq_> Erm.
07:17:53 <pikhq_> I should sleep.
07:17:55 <CakeProphet> lol
07:18:10 <fizzie> I don't think it needs to be bite-sized: "in the shape of a wing *or* a bite-size appetizer type product" [emphasis mine].
07:18:27 <fizzie> But it does need to be white chicken.
07:18:33 <pikhq_> Right, right.
07:18:35 <CakeProphet> ah
07:18:41 <pikhq_> I suppose you could have a giant wyngz.
07:18:57 <CakeProphet> so I could make a wing-shaped product that is not capable of being eaten in a single mouthful.
07:19:11 <CakeProphet> or a unicorn shaped product that is edible in one "bite"
07:19:14 <CakeProphet> good to know.
07:19:15 <pikhq_> Yes.
07:21:14 <fizzie> CakeProphet: Remember to submit your "wyngz" label to the Labeling and Program Delivery Division for sketch approval, because it is considered a special statement that cannot be generically approved.
07:21:31 <CakeProphet> ah.
07:21:45 <CakeProphet> does that apply for all names not regulated?
07:21:50 <CakeProphet> such as wyngicorns?
07:22:03 <CakeProphet> or...
07:22:08 <CakeProphet> great cubicuboctahedrons?
07:22:11 <fizzie> "The statement may only reference the term "wyngz" (no other misspellings are permitted)."
07:22:27 <CakeProphet> ah so I'd need one of those subtext things.
07:22:33 <CakeProphet> below my wyngicorns brand.
07:22:49 <CakeProphet> in order to be... considered wyngz
07:22:51 <CakeProphet> whatever that is.
07:23:23 <fizzie> Possibly "wyngicorn" is far-enough removed from "wing" that it doesn't need special handling? I don't know.
07:24:10 <fizzie> Goal: chicken wyngicornz available in every bar.
07:25:26 <CakeProphet> well it said I "may" name them wyngz but don't have to if they fit this definition.
07:25:44 <CakeProphet> so it's more like... a helpful suggestion.
07:26:00 <elliott> CakeProphet: but if it's too close to wings, you'll get dinge
07:26:00 <elliott> d
07:26:05 <elliott> because wings is regulated
07:26:06 <elliott> and like

07:26:38 <CakeProphet> I assure you that both wyngicorns and great cubicuboctahedrons will be nothing like wings.
07:27:02 <fizzie> If it's not a poultry product at all, though, there may be more latitude. I think you can have edible "cardboard wiingz" without problems.
07:27:12 <elliott> Edible cardboard?
07:27:21 <fizzie> It's just a matter of seasoning.

08:27:16 <CakeProphet> Feces has always been associated with the lowest people among society, the social outcasts, the pariahs, the social discards. The Caste system in India was created along the lines of profession and the dalits or shudras (untouchables) were left to do work related to human emissions.

12:56:09 <elliott> Hey fizzie.
13:00:32 <elliott> fizzie. fizzie. Get what you get to do.
13:03:38 <fizzie> I'm not here and no-one's seen me. You must be talking to yourself.
13:04:34 <elliott> Indeed. fizzie: WHAT'S A GOOD REVERSE CONTEXT TREE FORMAT.
13:05:45 <elliott> fizzie: Hmm, actually I'm not sure I completely understand them. Does every single branch have "what comes next" information?
13:06:00 <elliott> fizzie: Like, at the root of the tree is there "what comes next" information for every single word in the corpus?
13:06:10 <elliott> (Or is it for getting the first word?)
13:08:23 <fizzie> At least in a theoretical discussion, at the root of the tree, the "what comes next" list would be the corpus unigrams; correspondingly, at subnode /FOO/BAR, the "what comes next" list would be the list of last words of all trigrams that match "BAR FOO *".
13:08:40 <elliott> Right. So every single node has a what's next list.
13:08:55 <elliott> fizzie: But, I suppose, in practice you omit the "what comes next" at the root of the tree?
13:10:14 <elliott> I guess I should still have an explicit start/end token. Except, wait, there's no actual way to extract those from n-gram data, is there?
13:10:40 <elliott> I guess I'll have to take sentence terminator tokens as my first thing, and then just drop the first token generated.
13:12:16 <fizzie> I'm not entirely sure. I might not, just in case it has to back off to the zero-length context. (E.g. think of the case where it has generated "foo znurg", and [foo][znurg] was the only bigram (or any higher gram, obviously) containing the word 'znurg' that made the 40-count cutoffs. In that case, there will be no valid context, no /znurg node in the tree, and it has to create the next word from the unigrams.)
13:12:17 -!- hagb4rd has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
13:13:14 <fizzie> Explicit start/end tokens are typical, then you generate an initial context of "<start>" when generating forward. But you're right that it's hard to get those from the Google data since they opted not to sentence-split their books.
13:13:19 <elliott> fizzie: I suppose it can't do any harm.

13:14:09 <elliott> fizzie: Are there any advantages of just doing "Take the union of the what's-next lists at the nodes '.', '!', '?', ... and then pick a token from there as the first token"?
13:14:17 <elliott> fizzie: I mean, it misses out e.g. the first sentences of books.
13:14:26 <elliott> But it seems like a sentence terminator is a pretty good place to find the start of a sentence.
13:14:44 <fizzie> I was about to suggest an initial context of "." or something, though of course there's quite a lot of .s that are not sentence terminators.
13:15:21 <elliott> fizzie: Well, right. I mean, remember that the actual generation will look like "start with n-gram, work forwards until sentence terminator, work backwards until sentence start".
13:15:26 <elliott> Beacuse of my double-tree thing.
13:16:06 <elliott> fizzie: Something like "sentence terminator → capital letter" seems to be a pretty good judge of start-of-sentence.
13:16:14 <elliott> I mean, obviously it won't be perfect.
13:16:34 <fizzie> There's not much more you can do than to treat the proper punctuation for sentence-termination, since for better sentence-splitting (to realize that "And the Mr J. Smith ate him." is not two sentences) you'd almost have to have the original sources.
13:16:58 <elliott> Right.
13:17:06 <elliott> (That, uh, is some sentence.)
13:18:16 <elliott> data RCT = Branch (Map String Int) (Map String RCT)
13:18:29 <elliott> Where first map is word → occurs, and second descends down the tree.
13:18:30 <elliott> I think.
13:18:36 <elliott> Am I wrong? Am I stupid? Am I bad? :(
13:19:10 <fizzie> If the tokens are interned, that might be a (Map Int Int) and (Map Int RCT) or something.
13:19:22 <elliott> fizzie: Yes, yes, it's ~symbolic~; remember that I can't actually load these into RAM.
13:19:43 <elliott> Also: What's a good way to do a weighted random choice on (occurs,choice) sets that you don't want to load into memory? :p
13:19:56 <elliott> (I guess the interning gives the advantage that each element of the set is constant-sized.)
13:20:07 <elliott> (So if I ordered them by occurs, I could just pick skewed towards the end of the list?)
13:20:10 <elliott> (Except that's kind of naff.
13:20:12 <elliott> )
13:20:15 <elliott> Except, wait.
13:20:27 <elliott> There's no harm loading it into memory, because it'll never be larger than the unigrams.
13:20:38 <elliott> And the unigrams are just going to be a few megabytes in total. Maybe ten.
13:20:42 <elliott> At least so fizzie says. :p
13:21:55 <fizzie> Yes, you can probably stand loading a single node. But if you want, you could store it on-disk as (sum of occurs, [(cumulative occurs, choice)]), then pick a uniformly distributed value from [0, sum of occurs) and find the smallest choice for which the cumulative value is larger by a binary search.
13:22:11 <elliott> That sounds rather excruciatingly slow.
13:22:37 <fizzie> Probably. For the most part, the nodes are likely to be quite small.
13:22:39 <elliott> I mean, if I'm talking to a mechanical disk over USB, loading a few megs of sequential data is so much better than doing a binary search seek over a few megs of sequential data it's not even funny.
13:25:42 <fizzie> As for the sentence start tokens, you can sort-of artificially add those by ignoring all ". a b c d" and "w x y z ." (unfiltered, those would be redundant; even filtered, you'll probably get a reasonable set of punctuation-in-the-middle grams) and then for each "z . a b c", "y z . a b", "x y z . a" add the corresponding "z . </s> <s> a" and so on only when a starts with a capital letter and z is not a single character (to remove "Mr J. Smith"). Possibly not wor
13:25:43 <fizzie> th the hassle.
13:26:40 <elliott> fizzie: How is that different to what I'd do at babble-time?
13:28:33 <fizzie> Well, I guess you can do the same at that time. Just that you'd generate one past the potential sentence-separator token at the end, and one before the sentence-separator token at the start, so you can apply some guesswork there.
13:31:27 <elliott> Ah.
13:31:30 <elliott> Well, I might do it.
13:31:32 <elliott> It seems rather... minor.
13:35:42 <fizzie> Incidentally, I also "invented" your double-tree idea the other day. I was thinking of just having a regular trie of n-grams, with the "next word" lists, and then went all "ooh, an idea; if you add a 'previous word' list too so that for 'a b c d' you put 'a' on that list for /b/c/d, then you can generate backwards too and share much of the structure". Took a moment to realize that is actually equivalent for a reverse-context style tree for going backwards + re
13:35:42 <fizzie> gular context tree for going forward, which is pretty much the same thing as doing reverse-context for forward prediction and regular-context for backward.
13:36:38 <elliott> fizzie: Yep. That's... what I said, yes.
13:36:59 <elliott> fizzie: What does "pretty much" mean here?
13:37:01 <elliott> It's literally identical.
13:38:03 -!- sllide has joined.
13:39:19 <elliott> Unless?
13:39:53 <fizzie> Well, no, it's not literally identical; you end up with a differently shaped tree, for one thing. In the first option (reverse-context for backward, regular-context for forward) it's slightly simpler to go backward (with a context of "a b x", at /a/b/ if there is no x/ you're already at the right place) and less simple to go foward; vice-versa for the other option.
13:40:09 <fizzie> At least when you are literally literal.
13:40:23 <elliott> fizzie: Oh, right.
13:40:29 <elliott> fizzie: The way I did it made it easier to go forwards.
13:40:34 <fizzie> Yes.
13:40:34 <elliott> fizzie: i.e. reverse-context for forwards.
13:40:36 <elliott> fizzie: I'm not sure why.
13:40:40 <elliott> It just... feels righter?
13:40:55 <elliott> Admittedly there's a certain elegance that you go the Normal Way to go forwards and flip things around to go back.
13:44:24 <elliott> fizzie: I kind of want to use a reverse-context tree for both so it's more elegant, but AFAICT that would pretty much duplicate my space usage.
13:44:46 <fizzie> If you start with the "let's use a reverse-context tree for babble-generation" concept and then start to think "how can I make some use of this thing also for predicting text backwards", it goes more naturally like the way you were going to do it.

13:48:56 <fizzie> Yes, I guess you could combine them; though there's the fact that for the most numerous nodes that are four level deep, there will always be just Nothing in the Maybe. I suppose it doesn't matter semantically, but physically it might save space to keep the lists separate. Because of the reversedness, I'm not sure how much they share. I mean, for the n-gram list (b a x) (b a y) (c a x) (c a y) you will end up with node /a that has subnodes /a/b and /a/c, and nex
13:48:56 <fizzie> t-word list of (x, y).

16:54:40 <fizzie> Butane.
16:55:16 <elliott> fizzie: Surely a context tree would be better than a reverse context tree for babbling, as you'd just descend a node whenever you appended to the output?
16:57:07 <fizzie> Nnnnno, because the tree only goes five levels deep. Though you could, I suppose, theoretically have some sort of a loopy graph.
16:57:48 <elliott> fizzie: Oh, hmm, right. How does it being reversed actually help at all, then?
16:58:23 <fizzie> The point of the reverse context thing is that when you have a context of "... a b c d e", you don't need to know how long a context you can actually find in your model. You just start with /e, and then descend to /e/d, and to /e/d/c, and then stop if you can't find new subnodes.
16:58:53 <fizzie> Whereas with a trie you'd first try to find /b/c/d/e; but if that doesn't exist, you'd have a new search for /c/d/e; and then /d/e; and /e; and finally /.
16:59:13 <elliott> fizzie: Hmm, right.
16:59:39 <elliott> fizzie: I'm still rather sceptical of how much use anything but the full thing will get since I'm not crunching the model at all :-)

17:01:21 <fizzie> Also the reverse-tree is nicely usable with variable-length 'grams, you don't have to start looking with a max(length(grams))-1 of context.

19:24:12 <Taneb> No, the suggestion and the implementation
19:25:23 <zzo38> However, the implementation I made is not perfect because it does not do bitwise I/O. Later I might fix that, or someone else might fix that. (Would you expect it to work perfectly even though it is the first program I wrote in Haskell?)
19:25:40 <Taneb> I would not

21:58:10 <Taneb> Problems solved, 2/3

22:45:02 <twice11> oerjan: nice. That's in the reader monad, if I understand it correctly...
22:45:12 <oerjan> yes

22:49:38 <lambdabot> forall (m :: * -> *) a b. (Monad m) => m (a -> b) -> m a -> m b
22:49:42 <Vorpal> oh right, that one
22:49:51 <Vorpal> it isn't in Prelude is it?
22:49:57 <twice11> Control.Monad
22:49:59 <Vorpal> right
22:50:06 <Vorpal> $ ghci
22:50:06 <Vorpal> GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
22:50:14 <Vorpal> good thing elliott isn't here
22:50:23 <twice11> Had to look for it, first suspected it in Control.Applicative.
22:50:45 <oerjan> Applicative and Monad are still not unified.
22:51:04 <Deewiant> Control.Monad.ap = (Control.Applicative.<*>)
22:51:15 <Deewiant> (For reasonable Monad/Applicative instances)
22:51:21 <oerjan> i am somewhat worried about this upcoming syntax i see thrown around which puts superclass defaults for a subclass _in the superclass_
22:51:48 <oerjan> it seems the wrong way to do it for making things extensible
22:51:58 <Vorpal> ouch
22:52:37 <Vorpal> oerjan, and Num is still unified (several times I wanted, say (+) or (*) without implementing signum or abs)
22:52:51 <twice11> I think I read in LYAH that Monad is now a subclass of Applicative, but ghc 7.0.4 doesn't seem to know it...
22:53:12 <oerjan> twice11: alas, only in spirit
22:53:12 <Vorpal> I mean, you want (*) and (+) and (-) on Vectors. But abs is completely different for a vector. It is the length of it
22:53:31 <oerjan> Vorpal: (*) doesn't even have the right type for Vectors.
22:53:43 <twice11> I don't want * between vectors, or do you mean scalar or vector product?
22:53:43 <Vorpal> oerjan, well for the cross product maybe?
22:53:54 <Vorpal> but no, not for scalar
22:54:07 <Vorpal> oerjan, point is, Num contains too much
22:54:09 -!- augur has joined.
22:54:14 <oerjan> the cross product only works for a few dimensions :/
22:54:21 <Vorpal> oerjan, there is that too
22:54:45 <Vorpal> oerjan, I never understood why it only work for certain dimensionalities
22:55:44 <oerjan> it's because the cross product is in _spirit_ not from vectors to vectors, but from vectors to antisymmetric 2-forms
22:55:54 <Vorpal> hm
22:55:58 <Vorpal> okay
22:56:10 <oerjan> and only for a few dimensions is there a nice embedding from 2-forms to vectors
22:56:40 <Vorpal> oerjan, what is a 2-form?
22:56:45 <Vorpal> I never heard the word before

22:57:23 <oerjan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_form
22:58:19 <Vorpal> oh, that
22:58:24 <oerjan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_form#Wedge_product is iirc the generalization of cross product
22:58:32 <Vorpal> oerjan, so integrals tie into vectors? How weird
22:58:57 <Vorpal> Algebra and analysis seem so different on the surface, yet they are deeply connected.
22:58:59 <oerjan> if you want to integrate over multidimensional spaces, they do
22:59:45 <Vorpal> oerjan, I have a course in doing that atm
23:00:34 <Vorpal> it is quite complicated sometimes
