00:11:56 <Koen_> random thought: has anyone managed to somehow "separate" memory and control flow, when writing proofs about computational power?
00:12:10 <Phantom__Hoover> what
00:12:37 <Phantom__Hoover> the lambda calculus and friends? the chomsky hierarchy? neither of these have notions of memory or control flow
00:12:45 <kmc> space vs. time complexity classes?
00:14:26 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: well that's the opposite of separating them, i'd say
00:17:47 <Phantom__Hoover> i've no idea what the question means, then
00:18:28 <oerjan> well i think it's tricky to separate them in a way that doesn't allow you to cheat by hiding more control flow in the memory.

00:28:58 <Koen_> oerjan: well if it's a proof for a lower bound to the computational power, that's not a problem
00:31:25 -!- conehead has joined.
00:31:39 <oerjan> a hunch: it might be that the greatest degree of separation between control flow and memory is found in relatively vanilla non-object oriented programming languages, like C or Forth. although also brainfuck.
00:31:51 -!- conehead has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
00:31:56 <oerjan> *imperative programming languages
00:32:04 <oerjan> left out the most important word :P
00:33:19 <oerjan> dunno about proofs, though.
00:34:07 <oerjan> object-oriented and functional both excluded because they provide ways of wrapping control flow into a value.
00:34:39 <oerjan> although even C and Forth have ways to reify functions.
00:34:52 <oerjan> maybe just brainfuck, then :P
00:36:56 <oerjan> i suppose vanilla Pascal doesn't have first class functions or procedures. (i'm not sure if it even has function/procedure arguments or if that was also a later addition.)

04:16:08 <zzo38> Are you sure that you cannot do computation with Wang tiles?
04:17:01 <oerjan> omg chu spaces i vaguely remember those
04:17:25 <shachaf> zomg
04:17:36 <shachaf> what do you reember
04:17:38 <shachaf> m
04:18:37 <oerjan> it was some kind of generalization of galois connections which somehow helped with modeling linear logic
04:19:52 <shachaf> really?
04:20:25 <shachaf> you mean the "adjointness condition" in the definition of the thing corresponding to a continuous function?
04:20:27 <oerjan> zzo38: well you might but in the obvious way i can see you need to nondeterministically choose how to extend your tiling, it's probably extremely slow.
04:20:47 <oerjan> i don't remember the _actual_ definition of a chu space, mind you.
04:21:59 <shachaf> the definition is p. simple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chu_space
04:22:34 <copumpkin> shachaf: nope
04:22:46 <shachaf> copumpkin: well it looked p. simple to me :'(
04:23:51 <shachaf> or are you saying you don't now about them
04:24:01 <shachaf> you're supposed to know everything
04:24:44 <oerjan> that looks familiar. i also recall the supposed quantum connection which i never thought really materialized.
04:24:45 <copumpkin> I don't know about them :(
04:24:55 <copumpkin> when I hear chu spaces, I think of train depots
04:25:06 <oerjan> which was what i found most interesting.

04:26:45 <oerjan> shachaf: well it's something i found vaguely interesting but which seemed to me to not have enough substance for me to look at it in depth.

04:32:00 <shachaf> oh no
04:32:06 <kmc> I don't think it quite lives up to the show overall
04:32:19 <shachaf> why not
04:32:20 <oerjan> Bike: bah your link initially looked like they'd found confirming evidence, but it's just a rehash of the 2007 story?
04:33:12 <Bike> this thing lived half a billion years ago, cut them some slack on finding 'evidence'
04:33:20 <oerjan> <shachaf> oerjan: is a quantum connection like a galois connection <-- well if you could _prove_ that, you might get famous?

04:51:29 <oerjan> (for ALPACA)
04:51:37 <drlemon> OK but i did and i don't know how to use stuff
04:52:55 <oerjan> you can probably download python from python.org
04:53:22 <oerjan> or there is probably a package for it.
04:53:50 <oerjan> hm well whatever your system. (you seem to be using an irc client for mac)
04:54:10 <drlemon> I have python
04:54:26 <drlemon> But i don't know how to deal with a bunch of seperate programs

04:55:24 <HackEgo> 2013-11-02 23:49:47: <doesthiswork> shachaf: yes
04:55:41 <zzo38> Probably you just put the program in some directory and then type in "python" and the name of the program (or if it is chmod +x and has #! at the top, then typing in the name of the file by itself might work)
04:55:51 -!- heroux has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
04:57:11 <oerjan> it does have #!, however the program refers to modules in other directories, so it's probably best to keep it in the same directory structure
04:58:29 <zzo38> Yes, keep the same directory structure as whatever it uses
04:58:34 <oerjan> drlemon: download the files into some directory, then run bin/alpaca in the subdirectory of that.
04:58:49 <oerjan> (the bin/alpaca which is in there, that is.)
05:00:27 <shachaf> oerjan: do you know about frames and locales and those things
05:00:43 <shachaf> the funny bit is that a frame is the same thing as a locale
05:02:27 <oerjan> not beyond hearing the words

05:03:49 <Bike> godspeed elliott
05:03:53 <zzo38> Why does it use en_NZ.UTF-8? In my opinion it ought to be C locale by default unless you change it for an individual command.
05:04:16 <shachaf> zzo38: No, it should be UTF-8. C isn't compatible with Unicode.
05:04:20 <Bike> not very nice to new zealand
05:04:49 <shachaf> oerjan: but you know about homology and things right
05:04:52 <zzo38> shachaf: Using UTF-8 by default causes other problems; it should be C by default, and selecting UTF-8 when you do want Unicode (you also select other things you want, at the same time)
05:04:59 <oerjan> zzo38: we asked Gregor to set it so that HackEgo could use utf-8, and he chose en_NZ to be funny
05:05:17 <shachaf> zzo38: You always want Unicode.
05:05:52 <zzo38> Would selecting the C locale speed it up by a small amount if implemented in a certain way?
05:06:11 <Bike> it's important that a linux installation on uml on irc is maximally performant
05:06:14 <zzo38> I suppose if you do want the C locale now you can still specify it for an individual command though
05:06:39 <oerjan> zzo38: but all HackEgo commands that are intended to be run directly from ` take the rest of the irc message as argument, and so should do utf-8 because that's the charset we want to encourage in this channel.
05:07:35 <oerjan> and if it wasn't on by default people wouldn't care enough to set it when they should.
05:07:59 <zzo38> Yes, that seems reasonable, but sometimes you might not want it (although a shortcut could be made such as `runc to use the C locale, maybe, if a shortcut is wanted)
05:08:05 <shachaf> oerjan: Even the people of #esoteric?
05:08:18 <oerjan> shachaf: i do know about basic homology yes
05:08:58 <shachaf> is it good
05:09:11 <oerjan> shachaf: some would care, but too many wouldn't?
05:09:33 <oerjan> and some like i would bitch about having to care about it on individual commands.
05:10:23 <oerjan> shachaf: it allows you to prove things like the jordan-brouwer theorem and brouwer fixed point theorem
05:10:39 <shachaf> good theorem
05:10:42 <zzo38> And if you want to pipe binary data to a program that expects text, it might also not work in UTF-8 mode. (Of course this would be rare though.)
05:10:44 <oerjan> and invariance of domain
05:11:04 <oerjan> basically things that tell you that euclidean spaces are almost sane topologically.
05:11:53 <zzo38> I do sometimes work on Linux computer. I think it is set to en.UTF-8 by default although on my account I have changed it to the C locale, disabled Unicode translation, and loaded a CP437 font.

05:18:34 <oerjan> @tell elliott I hope you don't think I'm being overly preemptive with these suspicious new accounts.
05:18:35 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
05:19:05 <zzo38> Things like "a Chu space (A, r, X) over a set K consists of a set A of points..." is what I have programmed the SetType class in Haskell for. It might be: data Chu :: * -> * where { Chu :: forall a k x. (SetType a, SetType x) => SetOf a -> SetOf x -> (a -> x -> k) -> Chu k; }; Would that be it even close?
05:21:59 <zzo38> Do you know if that is it or not, and so on?
05:22:05 <oerjan> @tell elliott Argh too many to do this.

21:33:18 <Phantom_Hoover> <Taneb> Tempted to wear a bow tie to my lectures tomorrow and see how many people notice
21:33:27 <Phantom_Hoover> there's a guy in my year who does this to every lecture
21:33:35 <Taneb> Oh dear
21:33:42 <Phantom_Hoover> it gives people a good point of reference, i guess
21:33:44 <Taneb> It feels like the slope is going to be slippery
21:33:57 <Taneb> I wear a hat to algebra lectures
21:34:01 <Phantom_Hoover> he also wears a suit along with the bow tie
21:34:18 <Taneb> I'm just going to wear casual clothes, plus a bow tie
21:34:27 <Phantom_Hoover> i'm told i managed to get a reputation simply by walking up the stairs in an unusual way
21:34:37 <Taneb> 0_0
21:36:26 <quintopia> Taneb: the best way to get attention is to where a pink bucket hat and take very long strides walking as fast as possible everywhere you go
21:36:30 <quintopia> *wear
21:36:42 <Taneb> quintopia, someone's already doing that
21:36:55 <quintopia> damn
21:37:04 <quintopia> wouldn't want you to be a copycat
21:38:13 <Phantom_Hoover> work out an unusual way to walk up stairs?
21:38:31 <Taneb> Phantom_Hoover, I pretty much run up stairs and fly down them
21:39:47 <Phantom_Hoover> well flying's always a crowd-pleaser
21:42:02 <mroman> pyparsing is kinda nice.

22:34:52 <oerjan> hm interesting, zooming all the way out to see iceland and back in doesn't keep the place.
22:34:59 <olsner> maybe iceland was the name to be given to greenland, but someone mixed them up
22:36:34 <oerjan> olsner: the amusing theory is that the people who found iceland wanted to keep others out while the people who found greenland wanted others to join them...
22:36:39 <tertu> i always heard that iceland was named that because they had a bad winter and greenland was called that basically as a marketing trick

23:13:57 <olsner> fungot: whence fnord?
23:13:57 <fungot> olsner: fortunately the haskell compiler... sure i could pull that one off
23:14:07 <quintopia> fnord means that the trigrams don't perfectly align as i recall
23:14:31 <fizzie> It's basically an OOV word indicator. See, you get "better" (FSVO...) language models when you leave out words that occur only, say, once; but of course when generating from them, sometimes the "rare word" token comes out. (Removing all 'grams with OOV words would also be a possibility.)
23:15:40 <fizzie> ("Leave out" meaning "replace with a single OOV token".)
23:15:43 <quintopia> fizzie: couldn't you just pull the OOV word back in at the last minute when it looks like fnord would be printed?
23:16:30 <FireFly> "OOV"?
23:16:43 <fizzie> FireFly: Out-of-vocabulary.
23:16:48 <FireFly> Ah
23:17:34 <fizzie> quintopia: It's not unambigous which word it is (the whole point of the replacement token is to get better counts, after all) and anyway it's not recorded in the model.

23:23:09 <fizzie> Sounds like work. The list would need to go inside the tree, which would involve changing the format. Also, it would be quite nontrivial to add to the current VariKN-based training (which actually just drops OOV words), which the "irc" style predates.
