00:00:23 <ehird> SimonRC: anyway i don't think you can
00:00:50 <ehird> lol, i just read the logs
00:01:00 <SimonRC> that was the joke I was making. giving the most-general type of that function in Haskell is just as hard as getting vim to do what I was trying to do
00:01:03 <ehird> "It's a question about vim.
00:01:03 <ehird> Therefore, try emacs!"
00:01:11 <SimonRC> wel, harder actually, as vim has ways round it
00:01:11 <fizzie> ehird: Good, then I don't need to figure out how to pass on that "clarification".
00:01:19 <ehird> fizzie: "I HOPE YOU DO"
00:01:23 <ehird> Do you want to betray him? :-(
00:02:24 <SimonRC> well, vim's commands are a bit more typeable
00:02:38 * ehird sniffs. Poor AnMaster.
00:02:47 <SimonRC> I work with xm,l a lot and it is handy to be able to type f>ct<
00:02:57 <fizzie> *Completely* unrelated, but what should I do with underload ^def command arguments? Push the whole input string on the initial stack, or split it somehow?
00:03:14 <ehird> do what ais523 was going to do
00:03:14 <SimonRC> ehird: as I said, 3 sec of lag
00:03:24 <ehird> push it as church numeras
00:03:27 <ehird> of the ascii chars
00:03:32 <ehird> you'll have to figure out how to do a list in underload
00:04:18 <ehird> fizzie: i would say an underload linked list is just:
00:04:36 <ehird> (tip(tip-1(tip-2 SOME-NIL-SENTINEL)))
00:04:43 <ehird> SOME-NIL-SENTINEL would have to be detectable somehow
00:04:51 <ehird> for the list (a b c)
00:05:07 <fizzie> AnMaster: He read the logs already.
00:05:17 <ehird> did he ask you to pass it on again?
00:05:23 <ehird> he's so desperate i'll misunderstand him :'(
00:05:51 <ehird> fizzie: i've figured out a list structure
00:06:05 <AnMaster> ^echo I also suggested nano. Just FYI. If I have an issue with a program, and can't solve it, I often try some other program.

00:06:28 <ehird> if you have a problem with a program
00:06:30 <ehird> you try and solve it.
00:06:36 <AnMaster> ehird!*@* added to ignore list.
00:06:39 <ehird> you don't change program.
00:06:42 <AnMaster> fizzie, you may want to tell ehird that ^
00:06:52 <fizzie> ehird: He ignored you again.
00:06:59 <AnMaster> fizzie, what do you mean again?

00:07:22 <fizzie> In any case, that's about as much message-passing as I care to do.

00:10:15 <fizzie> Is that worth a ":(" then?
00:10:22 <ehird> fizzie: just pay attention to me :-P
00:10:47 <ehird> LIST = (HEAD(TAIL)(a~*^)~a*^)
00:10:51 <ehird> where TAIL :: LIST
00:11:10 <ehird> i think you can use it like this:

00:11:43 <fizzie> I'm not in a very Underloady frame of mind today, but I am paying attention, fwiw.

00:12:07 <ehird> ^ul (S)((hello)((hello)()(a~*^)~a*^)(a~*^)~a*^)^
00:12:17 <fizzie> I'm sure you need a : somewhere.
00:13:15 <ehird> it executes the head
00:13:15 -!- atrapado_ has joined.
00:13:18 <ehird> the issue is dropping up again
00:13:47 <ehird> fizzie: lets try this:
00:13:52 <ehird> (HEAD(TAIL)(a~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)
00:14:04 <ehird> ^ul (S)((hello)((world()(a~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^))(a~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)^
00:14:42 <ehird> fizzie: any ideas?
00:15:06 <fizzie> My Underload thinking goes slowly.
00:15:18 <ehird> but here is my basic algorithm:
00:15:23 -!- atrapado has quit (Nick collision from services.).
00:15:39 <ehird> you have the program, then the head, then the tail
00:15:44 -!- atrapado_ has changed nick to atrapado.
00:15:47 <ehird> program, then the head
00:15:53 <ehird> the head, then the program
00:15:57 <ehird> the head the program
00:16:01 <ehird> but now you have no program
00:16:05 <ehird> you have the program, then the head then the tail
00:16:17 <ehird> head, the program, the program
00:16:35 <ehird> the program the fail
00:16:43 <ehird> nil should actually be (!)
00:16:45 <ehird> to eliminate the program
00:16:47 <ehird> fizzie: see my basic algo?
00:16:53 <ehird> <func><list>^ runs func for every element in list
00:18:15 <ehird> ((hello)((world)(!)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)
00:18:22 <ehird> ^ul (S)((hello)((world)(!)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)^
00:18:27 <fungot> ehird: its only " real" programming language? are there significant advantages to that over using fnord fnord
00:18:46 <ehird> ^ul (S)((hello)((world)(!)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^~*^)^
00:18:51 <ehird> ^ul (S)((hello)((world)(!)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^^)(~:(*^)~a*^)~a*^*^)^
00:19:16 -!- Slereah_ has joined.
00:21:07 <fizzie> I would rather start by using just ((foo)((bar)...)) -style lists instead of "something that evaluates top-of-stack for each element", given how much easier car and cdr sound for that sort of lists. But really, I'm not in an underloady mood. And sure, that sort of list might be trickier to use.
00:21:46 <ehird> how do you check if you've reached the end of the list?
00:21:49 <ehird> how can you do == ()? :-P
00:22:30 <GregorR> <GregorR> ehird: Would you just let me see your effing bonko code already :P
00:22:38 <ehird> GregorR: i gave up on it
00:22:48 <GregorR> WELL THEN I GIVE UP ON YOU
00:23:01 <fizzie> Maybe not plain ((foo)((bar)...)) then; maybe something more like (((foo)^)(((bar)^)(!))); but *really*, I don't want to think about Underload now.
00:23:15 <fizzie> Er, ~^ there instead of ^.
00:23:22 <ehird> fizzie: Oh, that could work.
00:23:24 <fizzie> It's easier to "detect" (!).
00:27:07 <fizzie> ^ul (((foo)~^)(((bar)~^)(()(!))))(~^~(S)~^~:^):^
00:27:33 <ehird> Make the input one of those lists, with the elements as the underload-church-numearls.
00:28:02 <fizzie> That sounds like quite a lot of stack, but...
00:28:55 <ehird> fizzie: You perhaps thought Underload was lightweight?
00:29:01 <ehird> fizzie: The alternative is to add a new char - say, @
00:29:09 <ehird> Which pushes a church numeral of the next input char on the stack.
00:29:22 <fizzie> Well, it does say "underload", it sounds small.
00:30:44 <fizzie> Converting those church numerals back to ASCII for output sounds like something which would pretty fast go over the IRC message length limits.
00:31:53 <ehird> fizzie: Then you need _two_ new commands.
00:32:03 <ehird> @ to get a church numeral, $ to output a church numerally-thing as ascii. :\
00:33:05 <fizzie> I think I'll let ais523 to do the bleeding-edge feature-adding; as far as Underload is concerned, I'm happy to be a follower.
00:33:32 <ehird> fizzie: underload is abandoned, underlambda is what is being developed, i think.
00:41:22 <fizzie> I have a feeling I need sleep; early morning again, and getting 0145 around here.

00:53:14 <SimonRC> outputting church numerals actually wouldn't be too hard
00:53:25 <ehird> SimonRC: it would you have to store every ascii char
00:53:28 <SimonRC> you just feed increment into them and apply that to zero
00:53:37 <ehird> SimonRC: in underload?
00:53:43 <ehird> you couldnt do that.
00:53:49 <ehird> in underload, code blocks (aka strings) are opaque
00:54:02 <SimonRC> I meant as a primitive: output church numeral as ascii char

00:57:24 <ehird> SimonRC: pure. clean
00:57:46 <SimonRC> It might be anice optimisation

09:01:54 <pikhq> Maybe it'd make for good spells for GURPS?
09:01:57 <psygnisfive> -eth the archaic form of the 3rd person singular conjugation on verbs
09:02:18 <oerjan> i'm afraid i cannot read that, it's giving off bad vibrations
09:02:20 <pikhq> I'm actually well aware, but occasionally don't care.
09:02:20 <psygnisfive> eth, said with a voiceless th sound, eventually evolved into modern -(e)s
09:02:58 <psygnisfive> thus speaking with the -eth version makes you sound like you have a lisp
09:03:08 <pikhq> In modern English, sure.
09:03:22 <pikhq> In early modern, it merely sounds normal.
09:04:06 <pikhq> Anyways, that site is brilliant.
09:04:22 <oerjan> the obvious conclusion is that the early moderns were gay
09:04:32 <psygnisfive> i bet that at some time -eth became just -th
09:04:43 <pikhq> And that they reproduced out of a selfless desire to continue the species?
09:05:36 <oerjan> but of course. well, that and the strict anti-homosexuality laws. a terrible paradox, that.
09:06:00 <psygnisfive> interestingly, homosexuality was apparently not as looked down upon back then as people think
09:06:10 <oerjan> execution with a hot poker and such stuff
09:06:26 <psygnisfive> tho back then means like 1600s or 1700s in my sense
09:06:49 <oerjan> shakethpeare wath very gay
09:07:41 <oerjan> then came the victorians and messed it all up. or something.
09:08:05 <pikhq> The Victorians had incredibly repressed sexual mores...
09:08:48 <pikhq> And yet, they had some fairly ironic medical treatments. . .
09:09:00 <pikhq> Manual masturbation for 'feminine hysteria'.
09:09:17 <oerjan> should be quite relaxing you'd think.
09:10:32 * psygnisfive manually masturbates oerjan for feminine hysteria
09:10:38 <oerjan> and i read just the other day on wp that Victoria herself liked drawings of male nudes
09:13:49 <oerjan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_morality in fact
09:14:17 <oerjan> "Another example of the gap between our preconceptions of Victorian sexuality and the facts is that contrary to what we might expect, Queen Victoria liked to draw and collect male nude figure drawings and even gave her husband one as a present."
09:15:03 <pikhq> So, they had a gap between public and private views of sexuality similar to the modern-day US's?
09:15:07 * oerjan is not particularly hysterical today, or feminine for that matter.
09:19:37 <oerjan> hey, a deer outside the window
09:36:12 <pikhq> Yeah, that mundane magic page is one of the most brilliant things I've read in a long time.

09:47:39 <oerjan> for the first two use PSOX there too
09:47:57 <oerjan> the latter two use the EXPL funge fingerprint

17:15:42 <ehird> conclusion: fizzerjan is actually my age.
17:16:10 <ehird> oerjan: also, how to be logged in via a norweigan and finnish isp simultaneously
17:17:02 <oerjan> actually since the norwegian one is a shell account it's not that hard
17:17:15 <oerjan> as far as you know, that is
17:18:34 <oerjan> (unless you paid particular attention when i had that bot on #irp)
17:19:28 <oerjan> oh, and i guess i've visited your website too, so you may have my real ISP information there too
17:20:05 <ehird> oerjan: bot on #irp? huh
17:20:17 <oerjan> it was several months ago
17:20:17 <ehird> oerjan: also you could have voted via the shell
17:20:27 <ehird> also, how on earth did that work
17:20:49 <ehird> visited via the shell
17:21:13 <oerjan> i could, but i haven't
17:22:05 <ehird> oerjan: how can i trust you... FIZZERJAN
17:22:25 <oerjan> you cannot. in fact i don't really exist.
17:22:33 <oerjan> i am just a figment of your imagination.
17:22:39 <ehird> oerjan: so is everyone else.
17:22:42 <ehird> apart from oklopol
17:22:45 <ehird> i am a figment of oklopol's imagination
17:25:25 <AnMaster> oerjan, two vritual pcs on the same laptop?
17:26:07 <oerjan> it's all obviously done by a third, overarching personality
17:26:41 <oerjan> a superhacker, i assume
17:26:49 <ehird> oerjan: i.e., fizzerjan
17:27:47 <ehird> oerjan: but fizzerjan is a figment of my imagination
17:27:57 <ehird> why do converstaions with you always end up putting life in a paradoxical singularity
17:28:04 <ehird> also WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I TYPE
17:28:07 <ehird> two days ago i could
17:28:11 <ehird> but what is UP with me now
17:28:21 <oerjan> because you insist on treating them seriously
17:29:37 <oerjan> good. ignoring a figment of your imagination is probably not healthy.
17:31:47 <ehird> * fizzie seconds that
17:38:15 <AnMaster> ehird, so what is your last project?
17:38:19 <ehird> oklopol: 3333333333
17:38:26 <oklopol> oerjan: that's definitely over the time limit
17:39:24 <oerjan> but i had to put in a new garbage bag
17:41:04 <oklopol> yeah, i guess that solves it
17:41:13 <oklopol> but it's not exactly the clean way to do it
17:41:54 <oerjan> well the new bag was clean
17:43:21 <ehird> is it meant to make sense
17:43:45 <oklopol> i mean, it's not like i have a bag full of sugars myself...
17:43:51 <ehird> oklopol: oerjan: that's definitely over the time limit
17:43:52 <ehird> [16:39] oerjan: but i had to put in a new garbage bag
17:43:52 <ehird> [16:41] oklopol: yeah, i guess that solves it
17:43:52 <ehird> [16:41] oklopol: but it's not exactly the clean way to do it
17:43:52 <ehird> [16:41] oerjan: well the new bag was clean
17:43:54 <ehird> [16:42] oerjan: or reasonably so
17:43:56 <oerjan> it's just your overactive imagination
17:44:22 <oerjan> ehird: i just explained to oklopol why i went over the time limit
17:44:38 <ehird> >_< whaaaaattttttt
17:44:48 <oerjan> why there is a time limit, i don't know
17:45:21 <oklopol> yeah you do, you're just ashamed of it
17:46:54 <ehird> i just kind of...eat...
17:47:14 * oerjan is eating too, which is how this started
17:47:16 <oklopol> well you have to make the visible first.
17:47:42 <oerjan> well, it started with AnMaster, but that's not important unless you were ignoring him
17:48:03 <ehird> so that explains things
17:49:28 * oerjan resolves to make more comments that make no sense without listening to AnMaster in the future
17:50:30 <ehird> that's right AnMaster
17:50:35 <ehird> chickens DO do that.
17:50:50 <oerjan> to get to the other side.
17:51:15 <oerjan> before or after the eggs?
17:51:29 <ehird> yes, AnMaster, I know that.
17:51:43 <oerjan> now that's funny, i try to confuse ehird and end up confusing AnMaster instead
17:51:47 <ehird> sheesh. don't belittle my intelligence
17:52:10 <ehird> AnMaster: Shut up about your boots.
17:52:13 <ehird> Your boots are GREEN.
17:52:18 <ehird> Chickens don't even wear boots...
17:52:23 <ehird> what the heck are you blabbing on about
17:52:25 <AnMaster> ehird, you are ignoring me and I'm going to ignore you too if you don't stop these silly highlights
17:53:04 <oerjan> maybe that's for the best.
17:53:11 <ehird> AnMaster: to be fair, your chicken order WAS delightful
17:53:16 <ehird> depsite involving boots
17:53:17 <ehird> i propose a truce.
17:53:24 <ehird> no, no, not a whirlpool
17:53:39 <AnMaster> ehird!*@* added to ignore list.
17:53:43 <oerjan> i am afraid we have succeeded in fracturing ehird's mind
17:53:59 <ehird> oerjan: shut up with your COMMUNIST IDEALS
17:54:03 <ehird> AnMaster's chickens will stop them, I'm sure
17:54:14 <oerjan> ehird: ignorance is strength
17:54:25 <ehird> oerjan: btw, you can confuse both me and AnMaster
17:54:33 <ehird> just talk to me and AnMaster
17:55:06 <ehird> oerjan: so how is your chicken vat
17:55:11 <oerjan> especially if it almost makes sense in both cases
17:55:21 <ehird> you're giving it away damnit
17:55:22 <oerjan> i don't have a chicken
17:56:05 <oerjan> my aunt used to have chickens, i remember
17:56:18 <ehird> tell me again, why are you a communist?
17:56:43 <ehird> are your chickens communistically tasty
17:56:54 <ehird> you haven't involved AnMaster yet, oerjan
17:57:05 <oerjan> you know nothing about that
17:57:14 <oerjan> will you have chicken?
17:57:49 <ehird> as long as it's tasty.
17:58:00 <AnMaster> oerjan, but really, chicken and ice cream!?
17:58:09 <ehird> oerjan: yes you were
17:58:25 <oerjan> that wasn't to you either
17:58:27 <AnMaster> don't know the English word for namnsdag
17:58:58 <ehird> oerjan: dont' give chicken names
17:59:00 <AnMaster> oerjan, namnsdag, as in name-day
17:59:06 <ehird> they are less tasty then
17:59:07 <AnMaster> http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namnsdag
17:59:11 <ehird> or, communists, but they always dislike 'em
17:59:22 <oerjan> those are saints aren't they, at least in catholicism
17:59:24 <AnMaster> oerjan, very common in Sweden, but not elsewhere I guess
18:00:19 <AnMaster> oerjan, actually not today, but dad wasn't home yesterday, so we moved the festivities one day

18:07:38 <ehird> optbot: gnnnnnnnnn
18:07:42 <ehird> huntd is at 95% cpu
18:08:01 <optbot> AnMaster: interesting way to express large numbers: "For example, it can be shown that there are 33, 665, 406 possible expressions over the numbers 1, 3, 7, 10, 25, 50, but only 4, 672, 540 of these expressions evaluate successfully, which is just under 14%."
18:08:02 <ehird> optbot: why are you talking to AnMaster
18:08:03 <optbot> ehird: I can't see the ()s being used for anything else there
18:08:33 <optbot> AnMaster: I don't watch pron... :P
18:08:40 <optbot> AnMaster: I think it could be made to generate bfasm code
18:08:41 <oerjan> psygnisfive: be careful, they're not talking
18:09:10 <optbot> AnMaster: only if wallmart sells walls for martians
18:09:10 <oerjan> optbot: some may find that disturbing
18:09:11 <optbot> oerjan: thanks :) but have you got chocolate?
18:09:27 <optbot> oerjan: print "Hello World!".
18:09:44 <optbot> AnMaster: sounds challenging. :) i just remembered
18:09:56 <optbot> AnMaster: i don't like it
18:10:12 <AnMaster> optbot, it == ehird? I understand that easily enough.
18:10:12 <optbot> AnMaster: but you can't mount the directories until the installer has created them
18:10:33 <AnMaster> you could run mkdir to do it optbot
18:10:34 <optbot> AnMaster: Does all jazz sound dissonant to you?
18:10:44 <optbot> AnMaster: rather difficult to match 5 letters with 4 statements
18:10:58 <ehird> i wonder what it is
18:11:03 <ehird> maybe AnMaster was feeding poor optbot cfunge.
18:11:18 <optbot> oerjan: maybe scrap the Generator and have each Device created be a random one.
18:11:29 <optbot> AnMaster: brb making interpreter
18:11:36 <optbot> AnMaster: you can find all the revisions in the wiki data dir
18:11:54 <AnMaster> optbot, nice version control system idea
18:11:54 <optbot> AnMaster: i'm writing a brute-force tic-tac-toe algo for the hell of it
18:12:07 <AnMaster> heh that would be quite simple
18:13:18 <ehird> optbot: AnMaster: i'm writing a brute-force tic-tac-toe algo for the hell of it
18:14:02 <AnMaster> (and no I'm not, currently, ignoring)
18:14:20 <optbot> AnMaster: You as the author have the right to do what you wish, but by default everyone else has no right whatsoever to it.
18:14:33 <ehird> optbot: you... copyrightist!
18:14:34 <optbot> ehird: So just what will you be editing?
18:14:42 <optbot> AnMaster: Those are the ones logged on tunes.org
18:14:42 <optbot> ehird: the digits are clusters of two letters
18:15:05 <optbot> AnMaster: you said it took you an hour
18:15:13 <optbot> AnMaster: it is possible.
18:15:32 <AnMaster> optbot, you are seriously confused.
18:15:32 <optbot> AnMaster: rewrite it to use the cool stuff
18:15:49 <optbot> AnMaster: +ul (o)S( o)(~(ko)*:S~:^):^

18:16:11 <optbot> AnMaster: in TI-BASIC? ;)
18:16:17 <optbot> AnMaster: I don't hold any esolang stuff in there so far; I was about to write a page dedicated to Malbolge as the result of working on this
18:16:32 <optbot> AnMaster: what I'm wondering too
18:16:42 <optbot> AnMaster: you removed my "cocks" comment :(
18:16:50 <optbot> AnMaster: this one guy listened to finntroll, a finnish band that sings in swedish... he said he likes how finnish sounds, so i told him that's swedish, not finnish... he said he can't hear the difference
18:17:08 <optbot> AnMaster: because the content of 'message' is HTML
18:17:20 <optbot> AnMaster: assembly language running on a PDP-11 emulator running on a Nintendo DS
18:17:46 <fungot> AnMaster: this isn't really a sane way to do good vm instruction dispatch?' tries `eq?'.
18:19:55 <AnMaster> fungot, should I try awesomewm since I can't stand KDE4?
18:19:55 <fungot> AnMaster: ' alist' does _not_, by the way, if i do an infinite loop

18:20:56 <ehird> oklopol: wat suld i koed
18:22:11 * oerjan suggest a spell checker
18:22:25 <ehird> oerjan: muphry's law
18:22:29 <oerjan> make that a grammar checker too
18:23:02 <AnMaster> oerjan, lets confuse ehird even more :D
18:23:16 <AnMaster> though I bet he is log reading actually
18:23:29 <AnMaster> oerjan, confusing ehird? Hm too easy I guess
18:23:53 <oerjan> and besides, he wouldn't fall for it
18:24:16 <AnMaster> oerjan, nah he would way too easily
18:24:49 <ehird> oerjan: you're talking to AnMaster aren't you.
18:24:54 <AnMaster> oerjan, and how is the chicken?
18:25:07 <oerjan> i TOLD you i don't have a chicken
18:25:40 <ehird> you can't use my own tricks against me
18:26:00 <oerjan> it was more fun when you were both ignoring each other
18:26:09 <AnMaster> oerjan, I weren't actually back then :P
18:26:10 <ehird> i am ignoring AnMaster
18:26:20 <ehird> it's just that he's so predictable :-P
18:26:24 <AnMaster> oerjan, I was ignoring him long enough to stop highlighting me
18:26:30 <oerjan> now _that's_ brilliant :D
18:27:07 <ehird> oerjan: it wasn't that brilliant
18:27:09 <ehird> just a statement of fact
18:27:14 <ehird> (Yes, you were likely talking to AnMaster.)
18:27:15 <AnMaster> oerjan, I switched off ignore after the first time above you said that's brilliant to ehird. and then did log reading
18:27:38 <AnMaster> oerjan, so I managed to trick you it seems :D
18:27:46 -!- psygnisfive has quit ("Leaving...").
18:28:22 <AnMaster> oerjan, anyway what about your aardvark then?
18:28:36 <ehird> oerjan: did you really think that would fool me
18:30:25 <oerjan> you weren't supposed to confuse ME :(
18:30:52 <ehird> you are quite obviously talking to AnMaster now.
18:30:53 <AnMaster> oerjan, what pets do you have then?
18:30:54 <oerjan> new theory: AnMaster = ehird
18:31:03 <ehird> heh. i'd have trouble annoying myself that much
18:31:08 <ehird> being that predictable takes some effort.
18:31:24 <oerjan> but that explains how you manage to confuse me
18:31:41 <AnMaster> oerjan, So... what pets do you have?
18:31:49 <ehird> i wonder if i annoyed AnMaster enough he'd leave.
18:32:07 <AnMaster> oerjan, oh? what ones do you have then?
18:32:15 <oerjan> i think there may be some spiders somewhere here
18:32:20 <ehird> Maybe I could use my botflood script.
18:32:23 <ehird> Though I'd get banned here.
18:32:26 <ehird> Hmm. Maybe in /msg.
18:33:20 <AnMaster> and no way you would get me to leave ever
18:34:14 <ehird> i wonder if he's ranting to the void.
18:34:36 <ehird> oerjan: thank you for the information
18:34:46 <AnMaster> oerjan, more split personality than you
18:34:57 <oerjan> although he started immediately afterwards
18:35:03 <ehird> i imagine AnMaster will always stay here, even if just to annoy me.
18:35:10 <ehird> it's not likehe seemst o have anything better to od.
18:35:14 <ehird> that sentence is messed
18:35:19 <oerjan> that would be about a summeary
18:35:44 <AnMaster> ehird, this I believe is due to you feeling so bad for ignoring me :P
18:36:20 <AnMaster> oerjan, ehird may rant, I don't. I discuss
18:36:46 <AnMaster> oerjan, sure you don't have either aardvark or chickens?
18:36:47 -!- Corun_ has joined.
18:36:48 -!- psygnisfive has joined.
18:36:49 <oerjan> well the first part is true
18:36:52 <AnMaster> maybe your other personality does?
18:37:09 <oerjan> aardvarks are not norwegian animals
18:37:24 <AnMaster> oerjan, What has Finnish got to do with it?
18:37:37 <ehird> more attempts to confuse me?
18:37:42 <ehird> oerjan: surely you have more class.
18:37:44 <oerjan> sheesh, pay attention!
18:38:35 <oerjan> right you _were_ ignoring ehird then...
18:38:46 <AnMaster> oerjan, well I was for a bit, but not all the time
18:38:53 <AnMaster> it went back and forth several times
18:39:11 * oerjan wonders if Back is a programming language
18:39:47 <ehird> heh, AnMaster's lack of a sense of humour is more amusing when you only see one side
18:39:54 * oerjan ships AnMaster to Pun Comprehension Classes
18:39:57 <ehird> oerjan wonders if Back is a programming language
18:39:57 <ehird> [17:39] oerjan: because Forth is
18:39:58 <ehird> [17:39] oerjan: sheesh
18:40:51 <AnMaster> oerjan, I don't hate it, but usually I don't find puns that funny
18:41:12 <ehird> oerjan: why the sulking?
18:41:27 <AnMaster> also it is an issue with not being a native English speaker
18:41:34 <oerjan> AnMaster doesn't like puns :´(
18:41:46 <AnMaster> hm ehird reminds me of Drav, oversized ego
18:41:48 <warrie> I think I'll tell some halves of jokes.
18:41:49 <ehird> oerjan: sheesh. how unlikeable
18:41:56 <warrie> Why did the blonde tear apart the newspaper?
18:42:03 <AnMaster> oerjan, someone with an oversized ego
18:42:17 <warrie> How do you kill a blonde?
18:42:22 <AnMaster> I believe he *is* Drav, except ehird is a better programmer
18:42:41 <warrie> Once, I was driving down the road, when I saw a blonde in a boat out in a field.
18:43:31 <oerjan> well at least you got an a
18:44:25 <warrie> Why did the blonde get an A on her test?
18:44:30 -!- Corun__ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
18:44:49 <warrie> I think that half-joke was subconsciously influenced by oerjan.
18:44:56 <warrie> AnMaster: sorry, that's the only half you get.
18:45:40 <oerjan> i don't want to hit anyone with a frying pan again, but if you keep telling half jokes...
18:45:55 <AnMaster> oerjan, I think they are great
18:46:21 <AnMaster> Why did a blond swat oerjan with a frying pan?
18:46:29 <AnMaster> Why did the blond swat oerjan with a frying pan?
18:46:59 <AnMaster> Why did oerjan swat oerjan with his own frying pan?
18:47:01 <oerjan> it must have been one of my other personalities
18:47:41 <warrie> Why is it impossible to give away a metronome?
18:48:11 <AnMaster> I'm not god at that sort of jokes
18:48:31 <warrie> That one has no punchline.
18:48:48 <AnMaster> warrie, did the previous ones have?
18:49:03 <warrie> Have the other half of a joke: Because it's actually impossible to slam one.
18:49:16 <AnMaster> Why did the oerjan's chicken NOT cross the road?
18:49:28 <oerjan> because it doesn't EXIST stupid
18:49:37 <AnMaster> Why did the ehird's chicken NOT cross the road?
18:49:52 <oerjan> we will never know because he is ignoring you
18:50:01 <warrie> Do warrigals eat chickens, I wonder.
18:50:29 <AnMaster> Why did warrie's aardvark cross the runway?
18:50:59 <AnMaster> hah, nice one but that wasn't the one I planned
18:51:43 <warrie> Because "aardvark" means "little armored one". I suppose it comes from the word "armar", meaning "to armor".
18:51:52 <AnMaster> oerjan, mine was: because he likes random mutations of jokes.
18:52:20 -!- ehird has left (?).
18:52:22 -!- ehird has joined.
18:52:29 <ehird> well, bye AnMaster
18:52:35 <ehird> i'm leaving, forever
18:52:37 -!- ehird has left (?).
18:52:39 <oerjan> warrie: you're not confusing it with armadillos?
18:53:59 <AnMaster> oerjan, why did the one-aramditos cross the road?
18:54:11 <warrie> oerjan: it's very difficult to mistake "aardvark" for a word derived from "armar", "-ado", and "-illo".
18:54:17 <oerjan> because he needed to go to school to learn to spell
18:55:00 <oerjan> warrie: yes but you did didn't you?
18:55:17 <AnMaster> oerjan, no the joke was in one-armed bandit -> banditos -> one-armadillo in the end
18:56:14 <oerjan> that's awfully awkward, i say
18:56:42 <warrie> oerjan: only until before I said that "aardvark" means "little armored one".
18:56:50 <warrie> Never say anything until you know it's not true.
18:56:51 <AnMaster> "The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for "earth pig" (aarde earth, varken pig)"

19:35:14 <AnMaster> what should this do in scheme:
19:35:44 <AnMaster> it seems to return a continuation?
19:35:52 <AnMaster> but I don't understand the logic behind that
19:37:32 <oerjan> well when you evaluate that, it evaluates in some continuation, call it c
19:37:55 <oerjan> the outer call/cc calls the inner with c as argument
19:38:28 <oerjan> now, since scheme is tail call optimizing, the continuation for that is _still_ c
19:38:51 <AnMaster> I'm starting to see where this is leading
19:39:03 <oerjan> and so c is returned to itself
19:39:42 <oerjan> which is the same as the original expression returning its own continuation
19:40:08 <AnMaster> oerjan, am I right in that this continuation isn't very usable though?
19:40:15 <oerjan> btw this is one of the cases for Subtle Cough on the wiki
19:40:35 <oerjan> that would depend what is around it...
19:41:45 <oerjan> for one thing, you could use it as a kind of goto label
19:42:04 <AnMaster> oerjan, it needs a parameter though
19:42:16 <oerjan> whenever you call (c c), you go back to the same point
19:42:46 <AnMaster> and I still find call/cc very confusing
19:42:49 <oerjan> if you call it with something else, it could get even more confusing
19:43:19 <oerjan> calling a continuation after it has returned is pretty confusing yes
19:43:32 <oerjan> it's sort of backtracking
19:44:32 <AnMaster> oerjan, indeed. I can handle calling continuations *before* return
19:44:35 <oerjan> calling it before it has returned is easier, that's more like a break
19:48:10 <oerjan> now say you want to use this for actual backtracking
19:49:42 <oerjan> you could then do (call/cc (lambda (c) (cons c #f)))
19:50:15 <oerjan> that returns a pair of the continuation with #f
19:50:42 <oerjan> so you can then save the continuation, and branch on the #f
19:50:58 <oerjan> and when you want to backtrack, you call (c (cons c #t))
19:51:21 <oerjan> and so you go back, and take the other branch
19:58:09 <oerjan> i'm sure there are more clever uses to be found on the web

20:22:17 <SimonRC> psygnisfive: that mundane magic thing reminds me of what I thought was a very nice touch in one of the H.P. movies: one guy in the background using magic to put chairs on pub tables, while clearing up. It shows how utterly mundane magic is to these people.

21:44:58 <AnMaster> I would just point you to the esolang wiki
21:45:49 <SimonRC> hmm, interesting... http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/08/dreams-of-frien.html
21:46:02 <AnMaster> asiekierk, if you want me to "teach" you would have to "pay"
21:46:13 <SimonRC> partly becasue it shoews why friendly AI is very hard to get right, even if AI is easy...
21:46:27 <AnMaster> answering specific questions about languages I actually know sure.
21:47:10 <AnMaster> also while I know underload I'm not good at it, and unlambda I don't know at all
21:47:13 <SimonRC> and partly because I mihgt like to read about the story of such an AI that manages to manipulate the world into letting it escape without people thinking it will be able to escape
21:47:43 <SimonRC> Friendly AI -or- how to take over the world when no-one trusts you even to have a body

22:12:48 <GregorR> ehird: With the restrictions I've placed on pages, it's difficult to generate much purely randomly. If it did it more intelligently it would probably generate more.
22:13:10 <ehird> GregorR: if you watch http://elliott.hird.name.eso-std.org/ it pretty much cycles the same few colour schemes
22:13:28 <GregorR> <GregorR> ehird: With the restrictions I've placed on pages, it's difficult to generate much purely randomly. If it did it more intelligently it would probably generate more.
22:14:53 <GregorR> I've counted at least 9 distinctively unique ones.
22:16:04 <ehird> odd, i don't seem to get that many
22:18:02 <optbot> AnMaster: so only funge space and anything meddling with z dimension would need changing
22:27:47 <warrie> Supposing I were infinitely intelligent, I could probably take over the world through my computer.
22:29:27 <ehird> warrie: with no net connection?
22:29:53 <warrie> With an Internet connection.
22:30:12 <ehird> warrie: Who would give an infinitely intelligent AI a net connection?!
22:36:51 <warrie> Maybe a person who already had an Internet connection became infinitely intelligent through a freak accident.
22:38:14 <warrie> If that happened to me, I suppose I might make extremely large amounts of money, buy the world, and begin colonizing the Solar System.
22:40:40 <ehird> warrie: then kill all humans?
22:41:38 <warrie> I'll let my successor kill all humans.
22:44:39 <warrie> Maybe killing all humans would require too much effort, though, similar to destroying all flu viruses in the universe.
22:45:58 <warrie> It's plausible that a flu virus will get on some object that is sent into outer space never to return. The object could then get smashed into bits, and then we'd have lots of bits, each of them having a probability of having the virus on it.
22:49:52 <warrie> I suppose you could break the human-inhabitable universe into bits too small to contain humans.
22:54:54 <SimonRC> actually, I have hear on the radio a story called "Understand" about a person who gets a superhuman nervous system
22:55:37 <SimonRC> heh does cool stuff like figure out how to kill people by manipulating their phsyiology into positive-feedback loops using subtleties of body language
22:56:15 <SimonRC> and it seems that with just one rough peer, the world isn't big enough for the both of them
22:57:42 <warrie> People ought to figure out how to control their own physiology in a way that could kill them.

23:44:58 <GregorR> It's one of those fascinating little corners of human psychology.
23:45:17 * SimonRC recalls the time when, while trying to activate his sleep paralysis mechinism while conscious, he managed to twiddle his body's themostat instead.
23:45:23 <GregorR> People believe so strongly that the shaman has this power, that they will die by the placebo effect alone.
