00:11:17 <ehird> infd5iar
00:11:17 <ehird> now
00:11:40 <oklopol> no, now sleep
00:11:51 <oklopol> @end
00:11:51 <inf-anf-oh> Ending current game.
00:12:03 <ehird> oklopol: lies
00:17:28 <ihope> Hmm, who's this inf-anf-oh?
00:20:03 <ehird> ihope: A bawt.
00:20:05 <ehird> @join
00:20:05 <inf-anf-oh> ehird joined the game.
00:20:12 <ehird> ihope: @join-er-ate it.
00:20:34 <ihope> @join
00:20:34 <inf-anf-oh> ihope joined the game.
00:20:39 <ihope> @start
00:20:39 <inf-anf-oh> Number of players not an integer greater than one.
00:20:45 <ehird> @start 2
00:20:45 <inf-anf-oh> Starting game with players: ehird and ihope.
00:20:51 <ehird> ihope: It's infinite-D tic tac toe
00:20:53 <ehird> @move 1 2 3 4 5
00:20:53 <inf-anf-oh> ehird succesfully added a piece.
00:21:01 <ihope> Oof.
00:21:02 <ehird> ihope: Basically, any finite length list of co-ords is cyclec.
00:21:04 <ehird> *cycled
00:21:08 <ihope> @move 1 2 3 4
00:21:08 <inf-anf-oh> ihope succesfully added a piece.
00:21:10 <ehird> ihope: And you have two speshul syntaxes:
00:21:13 <ehird> <a b> range
00:21:17 <ehird> <a b c> range with c as step
00:21:18 <ehird> and one more

00:21:25 <ehird> 'for each thing named a in b'
00:21:26 <ehird> 'do c'
00:21:27 <ehird> so
00:21:34 <ehird> [a <1 50> {5 a}]
00:21:37 <ehird> ihope: goes
00:21:45 <ehird> {5 1 5 2 5 3 .. 5 50 5 1}
00:21:47 <ehird> ihope: etc

00:23:40 <ehird> i'm not actually doing 5 in a row here
00:23:40 <ehird> am i

02:00:50 <ihope> Hmm. The phrase "international hub for esoteric programming languages" is really just the word "hub" with "international" and "for esoteric programming languages" tacked on. In the phrase "for esoteric programming languages", you have the indicator thingy, "for", followed by "esoteric programming languages", which is "esoteric" and "programming" tacked onto "languages".
02:00:57 * ihope congratulates himself
02:01:41 <ihope> If you were to reduce that phrase fully, you'd have "hub"; expand it a bit and you get "international hub for languages", then "international hub for programming languages", then "international hub for esoteric programming languages".
02:09:37 -!- Corun has quit ("This computer has gone to sleep").
02:13:08 <oklopol> (international ((esoteric (programming language)) hub)) is the whole description tree
02:13:19 <oklopol> (a b) is b, with a as a descriptor
02:13:39 <oklopol> you can always drop a, because (a b) is always, b, and a is just additional information.
02:14:08 * oklopol congratulates himself
02:15:41 <Slereah> HUB
03:03:53 <ihope> (international hub [for (esoteric (programming languages))])
03:05:36 <ihope> Or maybe better: hub [for (languages programming esoteric)] international
03:07:48 <ihope> [This (is [a sentence])]. [You (like do ([this sentence] [of mine]))]?
03:09:33 <oklopol> for is not important there
03:09:58 <oklopol> it is just another way to attach information to "international hub"
03:10:35 <oklopol> in this case just "international esoteric programming language hub" is unambiguous enough
03:11:06 <oklopol> and if it weren't, using that structure for a sentence with for is a bit too englishish to be a formalization
03:11:11 <ihope> But the "for" still exists.
03:11:25 <ihope> I'm not after formalization; I'm after description. Or something.
03:11:34 <oklopol> description?
03:11:43 <oklopol> i thought you were breaking it down
03:11:53 <oklopol> "for" doesn't carry meaning there
03:12:27 <oklopol> (well technically it does, but not important here)
03:12:49 <ihope> I'm breaking it down, kind of detailing all the grammatical constructs. "For" is part of a grammatical construct.
03:13:00 <oklopol> well sure
03:13:02 <oklopol> hmm
03:13:26 <oklopol> (This (is [a sentence])]. [You (like do ([this sentence] [of mine]))] can you help me with the meanings of () and []?
03:15:15 <ihope> Well, () is just used for grouping things together into phrases. "Phrase1 phrase2" functions as phrase1 with phrase2 somehow modifying it. [Phrase1 phrase2] is some other construct that behaves as neither phrase1 nor phrase2; maybe phrase1 is always an "indicator word" like "for" and phrase2 is always something of meaning.

11:40:19 <AnMaster> hm?
11:41:48 <oklopol> well you gotta join, don't you?
11:43:56 <AnMaster> no time
11:44:25 <oklopol> i'm not sure if anyone has given any thought to this at all, but as i've explained a few times, the row of 5 doesn't need to be actually adjacent pieces (so where for each element L of the distance vector L = 0 | L = -1 | L = 1), which constraint 2d5iar has
11:44:30 <oklopol> was just wondering
11:44:37 <oklopol> when you add a piece
11:44:46 <AnMaster> *blink*
11:44:49 <oklopol> it is automatically "next to" infinity pieces
11:45:00 <AnMaster> pieces?
11:45:03 <AnMaster> of what?
11:45:04 <oklopol> so i'm pretty sure the game is trivial.
11:45:10 <oklopol> AnMaster: it's 5-in-a-row
11:45:23 <AnMaster> you mean scrabble or whatever it is called in English?
11:45:25 <oklopol> there is an infinite-dimensional space
11:45:44 <oklopol> and you can add "pieces", meaning you can color one of these points to your color each turn
11:45:53 <oklopol> hmm...
11:45:55 <AnMaster> oh, tic-tac-toe or whatever that name is in English?
11:45:56 <oklopol> now that i think of it
11:46:20 <AnMaster> or maybe Othello?
11:46:22 <oklopol> i think infinite dimensional 5iar might be analogous to 5iar played on the complex plane
11:46:42 <oklopol> AnMaster: tic-tac-toe, except infinite grid and 5 in a row instead of 3
11:46:57 <AnMaster> and can you overwrite other ppl?
11:47:00 <oklopol> no
11:47:12 <AnMaster> ok not like Othello then
11:47:18 <oklopol> umm
11:47:25 <oklopol> othello has nothing to do with rows
11:47:39 <AnMaster> hm? true, you convert in lines iirc
11:47:53 <oklopol> well the surrounding rules have to do with rows
11:47:53 <AnMaster> oklopol, anyway what about complex number plane what on earth has that got to do tic-tac-toe?
11:48:02 <oklopol> but the *goal* has nothing to do with rows
11:48:07 <oklopol> AnMaster: well
11:48:17 <oklopol> you usually play 5iar on
11:48:19 <AnMaster> (so esoteric involving complex numbers with a very simple game like that, hehehe)
11:48:23 <oklopol> the (Int, Int) plane
11:49:15 <AnMaster> aye, a Cartesian coordinate system
11:49:26 <AnMaster> with whole numbers only
11:49:42 <oklopol> and a 5-in-a-row is a 5-tuple (a,b,c,d,e) of pieces of your color where for some (n!=(0,0) and for each i in n: i is one of (-1,0,1)), a+4n = b+3n = c+2n = d+n = e
11:50:09 <oklopol> well n is a 2-tuple ofc
11:50:22 <AnMaster> you mean, in a row
11:50:25 <oklopol> well 2d vector really, addition is mapped over axis ofc
11:50:26 <AnMaster> :P
11:50:34 <oklopol> what?
11:50:39 <oklopol> "you mean, in a row"?
11:50:50 <oklopol> are you asking the reason for the formalization?
11:51:02 <AnMaster> oklopol, well no this *is* #esoteric
11:51:10 <oklopol> the formalization is necessary
11:51:21 <oklopol> because now it's trivial to explain how to play on the real plane
11:51:42 <oklopol> you can insert a piece *anywhere* on the plane
11:52:04 <AnMaster> oh, you mean at 3.1415 too?
11:52:17 <AnMaster> x=pi y=2e
11:52:20 <oklopol> AnMaster: yes
11:52:29 <oklopol> and a 5-in-a-row is what it is in a normal 5iar, except n can be *any* 2-tuple
11:52:30 <AnMaster> oh my
11:52:35 <oklopol> except (0,0)
11:52:42 <AnMaster> oklopol, why not 0,0?
11:52:51 <oklopol> if (0,0) was allowed, you'd win on the first turn
11:53:02 <AnMaster> oklopol, anyway what about (inf,inf)?
11:53:03 <oklopol> because (a,a,a,a,a) is a 5-in-a-row then
11:53:14 <oklopol> inf is not a number
11:53:26 <AnMaster> ok I insert at (NaN,3)
11:53:29 <AnMaster> ;)
11:53:30 <oklopol> :)
11:53:40 <oklopol> well, i did specify it's just *reals*
11:53:41 <oklopol> well
11:53:44 <AnMaster> ok
11:53:45 <oklopol> then i said it's anything
11:53:47 <oklopol> but just reals.
11:54:02 <AnMaster> oklopol, at exactly (pi,e) ;D
11:54:07 <oklopol> in reality, you have to have some "explanation scheme" for the reals you can actually use
11:54:14 <oklopol> because you cannot explain all reals
11:54:20 <AnMaster> hm?
11:54:43 <AnMaster> anyway irrational numbers will be fun in this
11:54:50 <oklopol> reals are innumerable
11:54:56 <AnMaster> indeed
11:55:00 <AnMaster> do you use floating point?
11:55:13 <oklopol> that's a bit too restrictive
11:55:21 <AnMaster> so what do the program use?
11:55:33 <oklopol> probably some clever number type, dunno
11:55:48 <oklopol> actually...
11:56:03 <AnMaster> 1*10^-5834^-4747583934
11:56:04 <AnMaster> :D
11:56:09 <AnMaster> or, even better
11:56:12 <AnMaster> at:
11:56:18 <AnMaster> (A(G,G),A(G,G))
11:56:21 <oklopol> i think playing 5iar on a 1-d real range is less restrictive than my current infinite dimensional one, even if you just have cyclic stuff.
11:56:34 <AnMaster> A is Ackermann's function, G is Graham's number
11:56:35 <AnMaster> :D
11:56:53 <AnMaster> I would insert there
11:57:36 <AnMaster> good luck making a program that can handle that
11:58:12 <AnMaster> float wouldn't work anyway, because you could always insert at smaller resolution than double or whatever can handle
11:58:47 <oklopol> umm
11:58:58 <oklopol> if it has a way to calculate A and G, you can just store the calculation
11:59:14 <oklopol> if it doesn't, there's no way you insert that

12:15:40 <Slereah_> 5-in-a-row?

12:29:31 <Slereah_> Oh.
12:29:55 <Slereah_> Wouldn't a Tic Tac Toe on the real plane be infinitely long?
12:30:20 <Slereah_> Or extremely short, actually
12:30:41 <Slereah_> Since you can't exhaust the way to put 5, in a row
12:30:47 <Slereah_> So the first player wins

15:33:47 <ihope> Hmm, it's like a five-in-a-row in infinite-dimensional space, isn't it?
15:34:48 <Slereah_> Is it?
15:34:57 <Slereah_> The word "plane" would make you think not
15:35:59 <Slereah_> It would sound like "Put a cross anywhere on a map"
15:36:23 <Slereah_> And since you can't exhaust any row, it would be pretty easy to win. Or lose.
15:36:45 <Slereah_> But if it's in a discrete infinite dimensional space, who knows.
15:37:14 <Slereah_> It should also prolly be of finite extent, otherwise you fall into the same problem again
15:37:54 <Slereah_> Unless you need to have a row uninterrupted by the other guy
15:37:55 <Slereah_> I dunno

15:54:14 <Slereah_> Hi.
15:54:26 <Slereah_> Would you like to make some cool money, ehird?
15:54:33 <ehird> Slereah_: Yes.
15:54:36 <ehird> Do you want help with php maila?
15:54:45 <Slereah_> I have this daring mission.
15:54:52 <ehird> (Oh lord, have we got _another_ #esoteric meme?)
15:55:00 <Slereah_> Where you will need to hack into a bakery, to get some cake.
15:55:13 <Slereah_> Well, it's not everyday we get a good laugh like this!
15:55:16 <ehird> Slereah_: I am very experience with hack.
15:55:25 <ehird> What is the specification?
15:55:40 <ais523> which bit of that is the new meme?
15:55:47 <ehird> ais523: all of it!
15:55:48 <ais523> Slereah_ and the delicious cake?
15:55:56 <Slereah_> Nah
15:56:00 <ehird> ais523: mikemorg came in here asking for hackers to do 'buziness'
15:56:01 <Slereah_> The Nigerian scammer
15:56:05 <ehird> ais523: he was from nigeria, apparently
15:56:10 <ehird> but yeah, he wanted me to hack a bank or something
15:56:17 <ehird> oh, and he kept asking for help with 'php maila'
15:56:24 <ehird> presumably an anonymous mailing script written in php.
15:56:27 <Slereah_> I don't want to be racist, but it's hard with all those Nigerian conmen.
15:58:10 <ehird> 07:33:47 <ihope> Hmm, it's like a five-in-a-row in infinite-dimensional space, isn't it?
15:58:11 <ehird> exactly
15:58:57 <Slereah_> Is it?
15:59:21 <ehird> yes
15:59:50 <Slereah_> Is it on the real plane and all as advertised?
16:00:23 <ehird> guess so
16:01:09 <Slereah_> How would this work?
16:02:02 <ehird> Cleverly
16:02:04 <ehird> @end

17:04:39 <ehird> Yes it works.
17:04:44 <RodgerTheGreat> hm
17:04:57 <RodgerTheGreat> that's some FORTRAN-quality obfuscation, right there
17:07:07 <ehird> RodgerTheGreat: in smalltalk you can do:
17:07:09 <ehird> true become: false
17:07:13 <ehird> and *every* true value becomes false
17:07:17 <ehird> the true object literally morphs into false
17:07:22 <ehird> RodgerTheGreat: Then, it promptly crashes.
17:07:33 <RodgerTheGreat> nice
17:07:35 -!- RedDak has quit ("Killed (NickServ (Comando GHOST usato da DIO))").
17:07:58 <RodgerTheGreat> I like Intercal's "PLEASE ABSTAIN FROM ABSTAINING", but that's kindof a different idea
17:08:07 <ais523> RodgerTheGreat: and reversible, too
17:08:56 <RodgerTheGreat> is it possible to do "(define #t #f)" in scheme?
17:08:59 <RodgerTheGreat> gotta try it now
17:09:06 <ehird> RodgerTheGreat: no
17:09:11 <ehird> #t is a special reader form
17:09:16 <ais523> well, in INTERCAL, it's possible to write DO #2 <- #1
17:09:16 <RodgerTheGreat> aw, damnit
17:09:17 <ehird> besides it would be set!
17:09:21 <RodgerTheGreat> yeah, I just tried it
17:09:23 <ais523> and it actually works
17:09:37 <RodgerTheGreat> > (define #t #f)
17:09:38 <RodgerTheGreat> stdin::0: define: bad syntax at: #t in: (define #t #f)
17:09:39 <ais523> but C-INTERCAL requires a compiler switch to let you do that, it's in a sort of safe mode by default where you can't change constants
17:09:46 <ehird> RodgerTheGreat: what scheme do you use?
17:09:54 <RodgerTheGreat> mzscheme, currently
17:10:24 <RodgerTheGreat> "Welcome to MzScheme v372 [3m], Copyright (c) 2004-2007 PLT Scheme Inc."
17:10:52 <ehird> yay
17:10:57 <ehird> I was thinking maybe guile or somethign else horrid
17:11:40 <RodgerTheGreat> I like the DrScheme package- it has a great OSX version, and I have it installed on my linux machine, too
17:18:55 * SimonRC listens to ais523's radio interview
17:19:17 <ais523> it wasn't all that interesting, really, but it wasn't a disaster
17:19:27 <ehird> SimonRC: oooh what
17:19:29 <ehird> link?
17:19:40 <ehird> also, what I focused #esoteric for - anyone here like http://www.pixelcomic.net/?
17:19:48 <ehird> it's very silly, it sounds like something i would write
17:19:53 <ais523> wow, I didn't realise that link was still available
17:19:54 <ehird> the uppercase starts to hurt your eyes after a while htough
17:19:55 <ehird> *though
17:20:23 <SimonRC> http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_7170000/newsid_7179500?redirect=7179544.stm&news=1&nbram=1&bbwm=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1
17:20:28 <SimonRC> about half-way through
17:20:36 <ehird> i bet it was a gripping interview
17:20:37 <ehird> like
17:20:45 <ehird> 'so, you found the smallest turing machine in wolframs notation!'
17:20:48 <ehird> 'how EXCITING'
17:20:57 <ehird> 'how do you think this will effect every day life?'
17:21:02 <ehird> 'um...er....uh...'
17:21:07 <ehird> *affect
17:21:22 <SimonRC> I recall that the proof was a bit contraversial.
17:21:46 <ehird> SimonRC: it was, but, by about 3 people.
17:22:05 <SimonRC> they didn't like the required pre-processing
17:22:26 <ehird> yes. but they're silly
17:22:29 <SimonRC> hm
17:22:35 <ehird> anyway, how on earth do you make the wolfram proof a radio interview?
17:22:39 <ehird> i just can't see it
17:22:41 <ehird> [can't listen atm]
17:23:11 <SimonRC> ais523: BTW, how constructive is your proof?
17:23:48 -!- ehird has changed nick to ehird`.
17:23:49 <ihope> I think it's about as constructive as they get; I'm not sure.
17:23:55 -!- ehird` has changed nick to ehird.
17:24:07 <ais523> SimonRC: very constructive
17:24:20 <ais523> only the construction is infinitely long
17:26:37 <ehird> eeeek SimonRC
17:26:41 <ehird> what was that for
17:26:47 <SimonRC> I figured out the command finally
17:26:52 <ehird> oh, hah
17:26:55 <SimonRC> remeber the hacker
17:26:55 <ehird> SimonRC: you do know we have public logs
17:26:58 <ehird> see topic
17:27:16 <SimonRC> ehird: yeah, but I have logs with 1-second accuracy *and* logs of the privmsgs
17:27:26 <ehird> SimonRC: :-P
17:27:43 <SimonRC> accept or deny as you wish
17:27:59 <ehird> I did
17:29:00 <SimonRC> ok
17:31:05 <ehird> wtf SimonRC
17:31:05 <ehird> :(

17:39:42 <ehird> FUCK YOU WITH A RAKE SIMONRC
17:39:43 <ehird> <.<
17:39:57 <SimonRC> right, I think they should be gone now
17:40:02 <SimonRC> this was a bad idea
17:40:48 * SimonRC guesses that dcc sends pop up a modal dialog for ehird.
17:41:20 <ehird> yep, xchat
17:41:24 <ehird> well not modal
17:41:25 <ehird> but annoying
17:41:39 <SimonRC> ok
17:41:53 <SimonRC> but I can only abort one send at a time
17:42:09 <SimonRC> and that immediately causes the following one to be started
17:44:31 <ais523> so, what happened? SimonRC dcc'd a lot of information to ehird and couldn't stop it?
17:45:24 <SimonRC> yes

17:53:16 <SimonRC> hi, mysterious person
17:55:31 <SimonRC> what order are the bytes of a 4-byte x86 word?
17:55:42 <ais523> lsB first, I think
17:55:50 <SimonRC> big-, little-, or middle-endian?
17:55:54 <ais523> little-
17:55:55 <SimonRC> ok, little
17:56:06 <SimonRC> for some reason I was suspecting that they were middle-
17:56:09 <ais523> I'm not completely certain, but I think that's right
17:56:24 <ais523> if you look at them with a debugger, though, they often look middle-endian
17:56:24 <SimonRC> I'm doing some low-level stuff
17:56:33 <ais523> because it tries to convert little-endian to big-endian for display
17:56:33 <SimonRC> great fun
17:56:39 <ais523> but does it at the 32-bit level
17:56:45 <ais523> s/32/16/
17:56:48 <SimonRC> yes
18:25:25 <ehird> ais523: you use ubuntu, which is based on debian. so, is there an easy way to get ff3rc1?
18:25:28 <ehird> just wondering if you knew
18:25:39 <ais523> ehird: yes, wait for them to package it
18:25:52 <ehird> ais523: um, no. i'm on debian stable. You can see the problem here.
18:26:00 <ais523> ironically, at the time RC1 came out, the Ubuntu developers responsible were at a conference or something like that
18:26:13 <ais523> ehird: you'd have to grab a .deb and install it manually
18:26:15 <ais523> using dpkg
18:26:19 <ehird> ais523: I can't find one :-P
18:26:25 <ais523> either that, or recompile from source in /usr/local
18:26:43 <ais523> and the reason you can't find one is because the responisble devs were at a conference
18:26:47 <ais523> no doubt they'll package it soon
18:27:24 <ehird> ais523: I can't use an ubuntu deb.
18:27:28 <ehird> on debina
18:27:29 <ehird> *debian
18:31:30 <ais523> what, not even an ubuntu source package?
18:31:44 <ais523> they should recompile on debian just as easily as they do on ubuntu
18:34:03 <ais523> ehird: BTW, what do you think of my latest Mad Scientist proposal?
18:34:13 <ais523> it looks really game-changing, but is actually a NOP
18:34:20 <ehird> ais523: it shouldn't, because they have different deps.
18:34:46 <ehird> ais523: and how is that a nop?
18:34:52 <SimonRC> ais523: hm, what?
18:34:59 <SimonRC> oh, a nomic
18:35:04 <ais523> ehird: it's impossible to define a win condition unless the rule doing so has a power of at least 2
18:35:08 <ais523> and I said this in the wrong channel
18:35:13 <ais523> I thought I was in #ircnomic
18:35:25 <ehird> ais523: oooooooooh
18:35:28 <ehird> get the monster rule to power 2!!!
18:35:31 <ehird> and get much winnies
