14:28:40 <Warrigal> One of those was sarcasm, the other was just an exaggeration. To each his own, I guess.

14:47:54 <zuff> problem with the lang :{
14:48:21 <zuff> ! as *1: doesn't work, as the prefixed dyadic * only lasts to the infixed dyadic :
14:48:24 <zuff> so it's (*1):
14:48:26 <zuff> :\
14:52:44 <MizardX> I just get the exception "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'shape' of undefined" on http://alteredqualia.com/visualization/evolve/ in Google Chrome :(
14:54:29 <zuff> Pls 2 be reading "requirements" section
14:55:40 <Warrigal> Is that using asexual reproduction?
14:56:19 <Warrigal> That really doesn't come across as very evolvey.
14:57:34 <zuff> Evolution is evolution, sexual or not.
14:57:37 <zuff> It's just based on a previous article I linked.
14:58:44 <Warrigal> Well, it's just making random changes and discarding the ones that aren't beneficial.
14:59:08 <Warrigal> As opposed to evolution, which just makes random changes and tends to discard the ones that aren't beneficial.
15:00:27 <zuff> It's a genetic programming thingamabob, fr'sr.
15:00:30 <zuff> Just not very advanced.
15:00:32 <Warrigal> Okay.
15:01:20 <oklopol> i really don't see why you'd use the terms "evolution" and "genetic" for all informed search strategies, but guess i'll just have to suffer
15:01:35 <Warrigal> I think it should apply a band-pass filter to the image so that the fitness function pays as much attention to the details, like eyes, as it does to the curvature of her forehead.
15:01:49 <Warrigal> I think evolution ought to at least involve a population.
15:02:10 <zuff> oklopol: it makes a bunch of mutations and picks the best one, then mutates that, etc
15:02:36 <oklopol> zuff: yes, hill climbing
15:02:43 <zuff> it's ga.
15:02:46 <zuff> err, gp
15:03:01 <oklopol> a very space-efficient form of informed search, nothing to do with what you usually call evolution in algorithmics
15:03:05 <Warrigal> Evolution works best when you have a relatively large population, and sex.
15:03:21 <zuff> Warrigal: Insert joke about how the first part could be anything.
15:04:58 <Warrigal> About how "relatively large" could be one?
15:05:34 <oklopol> zuff: why would you use the term genetic programming for that? i mean wouldn't it be nice if there was a name for searches based on populations, mutations and sexual reproduction... kinda like evolution
15:05:38 <oklopol> wait
15:05:41 <oklopol> that makes no sense ;)
15:05:43 <oklopol> i meant
15:05:48 <oklopol> why would you use the term "evolution"
15:05:49 <zuff> oklopol: because it technically is
15:05:57 <zuff> i mean, it might not make sense, but its part of gp
15:06:17 <oklopol> can't see how.
15:06:19 <zuff> so i'll use the accepted terms.
15:06:25 <zuff> oklopol: because it's a field and it has subfields?
15:06:27 <zuff> crazy i know
15:06:32 <Warrigal> It just depends on how you define "evolution", I suppose.
15:06:49 <oklopol> yes, i don't see how that definition makes sense. that's "search"
15:07:01 <oklopol> i mean evolution is not search
15:07:17 <oklopol> it's exactly what Warrigal said, it's "guided" by a function, not culled by it
15:08:09 <oklopol> anyway i'm not really interested in this
15:08:33 <oklopol> zuff is so easy to get into pointless arguments with, we should try disagreeing about something that matters sometime
15:09:48 <Warrigal> Like Agora.
15:10:50 <oklopol> some day.
15:12:35 <zuff> cool, I evolve strings in the generation of their length

16:07:06 <oklopol> i want to make my own version of sex
16:07:23 <oklopol> like, you know, revolutionize the concept completely
16:07:53 <oklopol> what's with all the back-and-fro? i bet with some training you could leave out movement altogether
16:08:00 <Warrigal> Two people bash their heads together until their thoughts match, and then the woman has a brainchild?
16:08:17 <oklopol> well of course reproduction must still happen
16:09:21 <Warrigal> She figures out how to build a robot from spare parts, and that's the child.
16:09:59 <Warrigal> Then she passes on her genes by speaking her mind completely.
16:10:16 <Warrigal> Because they're all in her brain.

18:23:37 <oerjan> that might make the AI a bit annoyed - like that mouse they implanted an ear on
18:24:50 <MizardX> A thue compiler would have to either be a packaged interpreter, or contain a compiler itself.
18:25:13 <MizardX> err... not thue.

18:47:17 <Warrigal> The only flow control is evaluation, so binary will have to be evaluated.
18:47:28 <oerjan> binary demands representation!
18:48:19 <oerjan> represent binary in what?
18:48:42 <Warrigal> I propose that x0 be represented as (x), x1 be represented as !(x), and plain old 0 be represented as, oh, *.
18:49:06 <oerjan> what language?
18:49:25 <Warrigal> Underload.
18:49:56 * oerjan offers his list of :'s and a's vapor-idea free of charge

18:55:09 <zuff> I think

18:59:16 <fizzie> oklopol: I'm not sure I agree. I guess it's "pleasant" in the Underload scale of pleasantness.
18:59:34 <zuff> Ooh, I think I have a -perfect- number representation.
18:59:34 <zuff> Second.
19:00:08 <Warrigal> What's your perfect number representation?
19:00:31 <oklopol> fizzie: well +/-/* don't really require much thought with it, and i haven't really even used the language.
19:01:10 <zuff> Warrigal: i'm thinkin
19:01:10 <zuff> g
19:01:12 <Warrigal> (:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::) is not a good way of representing 28, I'd say.
19:01:29 <zuff> Warrigal: that is not standard underload representation
19:01:38 <Warrigal> Oh.
19:02:00 <fizzie> oklopol: It didn't seem that trivial to me back when I was looking at people talking about it, but I guess I shouldn't comment on Underloady things. I think I managed to decrement a number, though.
19:03:45 <zuff> Hmm, my representation is almost the standard one.
19:03:48 <zuff> Except instead of a -> aa
19:03:51 <zuff> it's a -> (a)(a)
19:03:55 <oklopol> fizzie: well i found it pretty trivial after i understood how to operate the stack.

19:28:15 * Warrigal ponders his evolvey thing
19:30:37 <Warrigal> You have a number of organisms, each one is assigned an unfitness, the unfitness of the most fit one is subtracted from every one, an organism is removed with probability equal to its adjusted unfitness, one organism is randomly chosen as the father, and another as the mother, and their genomes are combined to produce a new organism, and if this new organism is less fit than all other organisms, it's immediately killed, a new mother is selected, and a new c
19:30:44 <Warrigal> That was fun.
19:31:01 <zuff> and a new c
19:31:08 <zuff> tely killed, a new mother is selected, and a new c
19:31:09 <zuff> 19:30 Warrigal: That was fun.
19:34:39 <oklopol> fizzie: i thought you did subtraction. not that there's much difference of course
19:34:52 <fizzie> I'm not sure. I may have done.
19:35:00 <oklopol> hmm
19:35:03 <oklopol> we should check the logs
19:35:08 <oklopol> that's pretty important.
19:35:57 <Warrigal> It's immediately killed, a new mother is selected, and a new child is created.
19:36:39 <Warrigal> Organisms are haploid, and each gene describes the position of a vertex, the color of a shape, or the transparency of a shape.
19:36:49 <Warrigal> Genes cannot mix with each other.

22:38:11 <Warrigal> (Tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ...)
22:41:21 <oerjan> +ul ((tap )(... )):^!S(~:^:S*a~^*a*~:^):^
22:41:22 <thutubot> tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... tap ... ...too much output!
22:41:27 <oerjan> darn
22:41:50 <oerjan> ah
22:41:57 <oerjan> +ul ((tap )(... )):^!S(~:^:S*a~^~*a*~:^):^
22:41:58 <thutubot> tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap ... tap tap ... ... tap tap ... tap ... ... tap ...too much output!
22:42:19 <bsmntbombdood> http://filebin.ca/qhzppv/bsmnt_bot.tgz
22:42:23 <Warrigal> Sure looks like Thue-Morse to me.
22:42:23 <zuff> oerjan: win
22:42:37 * Warrigal wgets it
22:42:44 <bsmntbombdood> Warrigal: untar at your own risk, for all i know that's full of hardcore gay pornography
22:43:09 <Warrigal> It seems to have Python 2.4 in it.
22:43:22 <bsmntbombdood> it does
22:43:30 <Warrigal> I don't think PuTTY is capable of displaying hardcore gay pornography.
22:43:37 <bsmntbombdood> iirc it has the entire chroot enviroment you need in it
22:44:14 <bsmntbombdood> zuff: good service, there
22:44:36 <zuff> agreed, filebin is really useful
22:45:10 <bsmntbombdood> 15 gb is kinda lame though
22:45:41 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: 15 gb?
22:45:44 <zuff> itym 50 mb
22:45:53 <bsmntbombdood> no
22:45:54 <oerjan> 640 KB should be enough for anybody.
22:45:55 <zuff> oh you men
22:46:00 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: that's just how much has been used in total
22:46:02 <bsmntbombdood> "15 gb of rotating storage space"
22:46:08 <zuff> no
22:46:12 <zuff> the current amonut of files is 15 gb
22:46:17 <zuff> that doesn't mean it's at the maximum
22:46:31 <Warrigal> Wow, it contains an absolute symbolic link.
22:46:45 <Warrigal> lrwxrwxrwx 1 ihope ihope 42 Dec 10 17:44 sh -> /home/bsmntbombdood/python_chroot/bin/bash
22:46:49 <Warrigal> Broken, too.
22:47:07 <bsmntbombdood> what?
22:48:10 <Warrigal> Why is there that symbolic link inside a chroot jail?
22:48:34 <bsmntbombdood> oh lol
22:48:37 <Warrigal> bsmnt_bot is user 1343...
22:48:58 <bsmntbombdood> <Warrigal> Is it the kind of copy that can be downloaded and run?
22:48:58 <bsmntbombdood> <bsmntbombdood> little bit more difficult
22:49:12 <Warrigal> adduser --uid 1343 --disabled-password bsmnt_bot
22:49:57 <Warrigal> I hope _ is a valid character in usernames.
22:50:11 <bsmntbombdood> hrm, i wonder if that symlink would have allowed you to break out of the chroot
22:50:20 <zuff> damnit, should have tried
22:50:37 <Warrigal> symlinks don't let you break out of chroots.
22:51:15 <Warrigal> Hard links do.
23:04:43 -!- poiuy_qwert has joined.
23:08:33 <bsmntbombdood> Warrigal: get it running yet?
23:11:08 <Warrigal> I need two more votes before I can even write the next proposal, really.
23:11:23 <bsmntbombdood> huh?
23:11:42 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: warrigal.
23:11:44 <zuff> normish.
23:11:45 <zuff> nomic.
23:11:47 <zuff> computer.
23:11:59 <bsmntbombdood> wtfrutalkingabout
23:12:07 <zuff> warrigal is trying to run bsmnt_bot
23:12:09 <zuff> on normish
23:12:10 <zuff> which is a linux box
23:12:13 <zuff> that is a nomic
23:12:47 <bsmntbombdood> no me understando
23:12:57 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic
23:13:07 <bsmntbombdood> uh huh
23:13:21 <zuff> "uh huh" - sorry for explaining.
23:13:49 <bsmntbombdood> how can an operating system be nomic?
23:14:04 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: you can write executable proposals, and if they pass, they're run as root
23:14:12 <zuff> executable = shebang + +x
23:14:37 <Warrigal> The shebang isn't necessary, really.
23:14:41 <zuff> well, yes
23:14:45 <bsmntbombdood> uuuh
23:14:52 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: what's confusing now.
23:15:05 <bsmntbombdood> and who votes?
23:15:11 <zuff> the players?
23:15:15 <zuff> i.e. everyone with an account
23:15:18 <zuff> it's just a few programs
23:15:32 <zuff> you make proposals by writing to ~/proposals/, you can do FOR, AGAINST as command-line programs
23:15:39 <zuff> and anyone can "activate name" if it has enough votes.
23:16:13 <bsmntbombdood> that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard
23:16:30 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: and why is this?
23:16:41 <zuff> Codenomics have existed for a while, but do elaborate.
23:17:10 * zuff waits.
23:17:39 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: Those are some compelling arguments.
23:17:48 * oerjan watches zuff's beard grow across the floor
23:18:01 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: Wow! I never thought of it like that. It really does suck.
23:18:43 -!- oerjan has set topic: No telepathy please.
23:19:04 <lament> stop reading my mind YOU SICK PERVERT!
23:19:14 <bsmntbombdood> oh hi lament
23:19:22 <zuff> ah. he speak.
23:19:23 <zuff> speaks
23:20:00 <zuff> welp, your arguments sure have enlightened me.
23:20:04 <zuff> if for nothing other than their sheer number.
23:20:21 <zuff> ok, you can stop now, I'm getting an argument overload
23:20:32 <zuff> yes, yes, I get it, ok, ok
23:20:43 <bsmntbombdood> why does everyone have a different nick today?
23:21:00 <Warrigal> I've had a different nick since... hmm, not Christmas.
23:21:00 <zuff> Warrigal has been Warrigal for a long time.
23:21:07 <zuff> Warrigal: A month.
23:21:07 <zuff> Max.
23:21:11 <Warrigal> Actually, I was warrie here before I was Warrigal.
23:21:20 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: so, any arguments yet?
23:21:32 <bsmntbombdood> what's the point?
23:21:41 <zuff> It's a game.
23:21:46 <zuff> What is the point of any game?
23:22:06 <zuff> bsmntbombdood: what's the point of esolangs/
23:22:08 <Warrigal> It's like Neopets, only the Neopets-like features don't exist yet.
23:22:14 <zuff> Warrigal: That is very Zen.
23:22:24 <zuff> And also incomprehensible, but that's never stopped you :D
23:24:38 -!- jix has quit ("...").
23:25:50 <Warrigal> I'm not incomprehensible to everybody, I think. Might be, though.
23:27:09 <oerjan> ab gub fnar gabbit gnep znebby, Warrigal
23:28:17 <olsner_> ybbenz peng tabbig ranf bug ba!
23:28:48 <oerjan> olsner_: fneddoc gzippy
23:29:03 <Warrigal> Qumelo si quiera, a tajoques, no?
23:29:26 <oerjan> Warrigal: ikkje umogleg
23:29:30 <olsner_> besudla nutan!?
23:29:48 <Warrigal> Es jumpo el sharko!
23:30:54 <oerjan> darn google translate is useless
23:31:15 <bsmntbombdood> SPEAK ENGLISH IN AMERICA
23:31:39 <oerjan> eg er ikkje i amerika
23:31:44 <Warrigal> Google Translate no tiene use cuando su espaol no hace centados.
23:31:49 <Warrigal> s/use/uso/
23:33:02 <lament> no hace centados?
23:33:21 <bsmntbombdood> oerjan: i'm going to assume that says "i'm not in america" in heathen speak
23:33:48 <oerjan> bsmntbombdood: nynorsk er ikkje noko heidningespråk
23:33:59 <olsner_> joho, är det visst det
23:34:08 <MizardX> håller med
23:34:12 <oerjan> ikkje fan
23:34:26 <olsner_> lusekoftor och kjempetorskar :P
23:34:39 <Warrigal> No hace centavos, sorry.
23:35:45 <oerjan> now google translate manages to translate into english, but it is _still_ incomprehensible
23:36:00 <oerjan> "Google Translate has no use when their Spanish does not make cents"
23:36:04 <bsmntbombdood> samleie du og ditt språk
23:36:31 <oerjan> bsmntbombdood: samleie is a noun, not a verb.
23:36:54 <bsmntbombdood> oh sorry
23:37:02 <bsmntbombdood> i'll let google know
23:37:07 <oerjan> also, the direct translation is not idiomatic norwegian swearing
23:37:45 <Warrigal> I guess Google Translate actually did help there.
23:37:55 <oerjan> (also, samleie is rather neutral)
23:38:46 <bsmntbombdood> google's corpus is from the united nations
23:38:51 <bsmntbombdood> so probably not much swearing
23:39:17 <oerjan> and "du" is the subject form
23:40:18 <oerjan> norwegians would usually use something religiously based, like "Faen ta deg og språket ditt"
23:40:33 <oerjan> ("The devil take you ...")
23:40:42 <bsmntbombdood> lol, religiousfags
23:58:42 <oerjan> +ul (:^::^:^^)()~((())~:a~*):a~*~^(~aS:^):^

23:59:23 <zuff> hmm
23:59:31 <zuff> oerjan:
