00:15:48 <oklopol> yeah i just reversed both algorithms in my head.
00:16:17 <oklopol> so what's the cycle oerjan
00:17:13 <oerjan> probably length dependent, and only that
00:17:22 <fizzie> For those who have trouble running it mentally, I also added ^scramble-^unscramble aliases.
00:17:38 <fizzie> oerjan: Not really; for "aaaaa" it is always 1.
00:17:51 <oklopol> oerjan: what fizzie said but without explaining, just saying.
00:18:39 <oklopol> oerjan: but assuming obfuscating x1x2x3..xn, please calculate cycle length because i need to know it
00:19:28 <oklopol> (by that i meant xi as in character number i, not a variable)
00:19:58 <oerjan> well it goes to x1x3x5...x4x2
00:22:01 <fizzie> Just manually test for strings 1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567 and then feed those numbers to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
00:22:08 <fizzie> That's what I always do. :p
00:22:27 -!- BeholdMyGlory has joined.
00:22:52 <oklopol> i was just about to suggest that

00:23:23 <oklopol> clearly it's very unintuitive
00:23:52 -!- coppro has joined.
00:24:03 <fizzie> I only ever remember that it's the first Google-hit for "integer sequence".
00:24:27 <oklopol> and i always remember its abbreviation is OEM.
00:28:02 <ehird> That's a nice pseudorandom number generator. :P

00:29:05 <coppro> I didn't even realize you came on here... you aren't in ##nomic
00:29:25 <ehird> ##nomic grew out of #ircnomic, which I co-founded, actually.
00:29:38 <ehird> I have op-related disagreements.
00:30:01 <oerjan> ok, seems to be http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A003558
00:30:04 <coppro> isn't there some command to find the topic of a channel without actually being in it?
00:30:04 <ehird> (It was birthed out of this place; it's actually what got me and ais523 to join Agora.)
00:30:12 <ehird> coppro: TOPIC #chan?
00:30:25 <coppro> ah, good, it's just my client then
00:31:16 <oerjan> /list #chan is why i use, hm is that the same...
00:32:23 <oerjan> just a bit more information

00:33:07 -!- coppro has set topic: We could do with a useful topic | http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/esoteric/?C=N;O=D.
00:33:33 <oerjan> oh interesting, /topic gives a slightly different result depending on whether the channel is non-public or non-existent, while /list doesn't distinguish
00:35:00 <pikhq> Interesting: TPB's sentence seems to be having a bit of backlash.
00:35:08 <pikhq> Piratbyran has gained 5,000 members.
00:35:21 <coppro> Oo last I heard it was at 3000
00:35:35 <pikhq> That was 3,000 and counting.
00:35:40 <coppro> Does any language development take place here?
00:35:59 <ehird> Mostly we just mess with fungot.
00:35:59 <fungot> ehird: look at how erlang implements it, given that with it.
00:36:10 <ehird> coppro: he's written in befunge-98: http://zem.fi/~fis/fungot.b98.txt
00:36:10 <fungot> ehird: am i funny to you?
00:36:15 <fungot> ehird: everytime i read through the presentation, or was it 1024 and 2048 even. sounds interesting, too.)
00:36:30 <oerjan> ehird and GregorR were just discussing plof, which is admittedly not esoteric, though it is homebrewed
00:36:39 <ehird> oerjan: Yeah, that's all gone to #plof atm.
00:36:42 <pikhq> We moved to #plof.
00:36:47 <ehird> oerjan: Also, it's quite esoteric...
00:36:59 <ehird> Especially the implementation details.
00:37:08 <pikhq> ehird: It's merely little-known and vaguely odd.
00:37:15 <coppro> Erlang would be esoteric if it weren't for the radical threading model
00:37:24 <pikhq> Unlike esolangs, it's meant for most people to be able to use. ;)
00:37:26 <ehird> coppro: ... which makes it not esoteric?
00:37:29 <ehird> I don't think I follow :D
00:37:49 <coppro> well, look at the thing.
00:37:52 <ehird> pikhq: There's nothing stopping you replacing all the syntax with BF.
00:37:53 <coppro> 4 statement terminators!
00:38:01 <oerjan> oklopol: the encyclopedia description of that sequence seems to have nothing to do with permutations, though
00:38:03 <ehird> coppro: Eh, not that much more than Prolog.
00:38:11 <pikhq> There's nothing stopping you from making Plof into a Tcl implementation, either.
00:38:13 <ehird> Erlang basically ripped Prolog's syntax.
00:38:16 <coppro> is prolog that bad too?
00:38:49 <ehird> It's pretty much identical, but not quite as symbol-heavy.
00:38:53 <ehird> IMO, Prolog is prettier than Erlang.
00:39:09 <coppro> and the only other language for the VM is Reia, which I don't like for other reasons :(
00:39:30 <ehird> coppro: Haskell has an Erlang bridge, I think.
00:39:35 <ehird> That lets you write and interact with nodes in Haskell.
00:39:38 <pikhq> When Plof is set up well enough, I might make a Tcl implementation in it.
00:39:48 <coppro> that's different from running on the VM
00:39:53 <ehird> pikhq: By actually turning Plof into it? How Forth :-P
00:40:05 <ehird> coppro: Well, what's so hot about the VM apart from the threading?
00:40:05 <pikhq> ehird: Plof is a language that demands it.
00:40:20 <ehird> coppro: You can use the threading from Haskell, then. :-P
00:40:29 <GregorR> Haskell has a threading model? ;)
00:40:30 <pikhq> If you will recall, I wrote PEBBLE by making Tcl into PEBBLE. ;)
00:40:37 <ehird> GregorR: I meant erlang threading
00:40:52 <oerjan> oklopol: i guess it would be explained if the scrambling in some way _is_ multiplication by 2 (mod 2n+1), which sounds a bit likely
00:40:54 <coppro> that sounds worse than just using Erlang
00:41:15 <ehird> ... Adding Haskell to something makes it worse?
00:41:34 <ehird> coppro: you've just made an amazing scientific discovery. I didn't previously consider that possible ;-)
00:41:46 <coppro> no, but trying to deal with it through a bridge sounds worse
00:43:52 <coppro> BEAM also has single assignment!
00:44:12 <oklopol> oerjan: so there's something really awesome going on in here?
00:44:17 -!- BeholdMyGlory has quit (Remote closed the connection).
00:44:36 <oerjan> the first part looks like multiplication by 2, the rest - not so much
00:44:59 <ehird> oerjan: 3 5 7. Odd numbers ascending.
00:45:04 <ehird> So, uh. Descending.
00:45:33 <ehird> oerjan: So scrambling sorts it into even and odd sets.
00:45:36 <oerjan> perhaps the +- 1 part of the sequence definition enters into that somehow
00:45:43 <ehird> ^scramble 123456789
00:45:49 <oklopol> ehird: that's kinda obvious :P
00:46:01 <ehird> oklopol: not to oerjan, see "not so much"
00:46:58 <oklopol> ehird: well. if that partitioning should show why it's multiplication by 2, then i guess i don't understand either.
00:47:11 <oerjan> ehird: what oklopol said
00:47:32 <oerjan> although point: it's multiplication mod 2*n+1, not mod n
00:47:35 <oklopol> oerjan: would you really say the "well" part tho?
00:48:39 <oklopol> are the 9 and stuff somehow negative numbers err....
00:48:43 <coppro> I just had such a bad thought that I'm almost certainly going to have to implement it...
00:49:58 <oklopol> oerjan: can you prove it's that by induction?
00:50:18 <oklopol> by that i mean would you do that, i don't want to, i just want results :P
00:50:46 -!- FireFly has quit ("Later").
00:50:52 <oerjan> to make it mod 2n+1 you would pad with some extra positions, around the original ones
00:54:49 <ehird> ^scramble 9876543210
00:55:01 <ehird> Ooh, that one wraps.
00:57:42 <oklopol> lament: the a's are scrambled correctly on my screen.
00:57:55 <oklopol> what order are they in on yours?
01:07:46 <Ilari> ^scramble abcdefgh
01:07:53 <Ilari> ^scramble 01234567
01:08:37 <ehird> Challenge: Make scrambles that result in coherent english both ways.
01:10:24 <Ilari> ^scramble 12345678
01:11:25 <Ilari> So (1)(2358)(47)(6) for 8 elements, cycle length 4.
01:11:30 <Ilari> ^scramble 1234567890
01:12:44 <oerjan> Ilari: http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A003558 although that may just be more confusing :D
01:13:03 <Ilari> So (1)(235947860) for 10 elements, cycle length 9.
01:13:56 <oklopol> that does look a bit like multiplication tho
01:16:36 <ehird> ah I love my scramble algo
01:18:27 <ehird> oerjan: I started it off
01:18:35 <ehird> I invented it a year ago though

18:19:30 -!- pikhq has joined.
18:27:24 <GregorR> Some idiots outside my apartment are playing "toss the beanbag into a fucking wooden block", which seems to be a popular game amongst drunken frat morons, while also playing shitty music, so I'm employing some COUNTER-ELGAR
18:27:47 <pikhq> What, pray tell, does this entail?
18:27:49 <GregorR> Elgar played loud enough to drown out their shit.
18:27:57 <GregorR> Although the track just changed, so now it's counter-Holst.
18:29:14 <pikhq> Follow up with, say, counter-Pink Floyd. Give them the joy that only progressive rock can give. :p
18:29:24 <GregorR> Yeah, I'm gonna go with no.
18:33:54 <GregorR> A composer whose wildly underrated, unfortunately.
18:34:32 <GregorR> His music causes you to forget how to use verb tenses and homonyms.
18:37:36 <oklopol> i just didn't know it was a human's name even though i think i actually do know him if he's classical
18:37:53 <oklopol> didn't realize you were that kinda dude although i should've
18:38:00 <oklopol> right you corrected youself.
18:40:42 <GregorR> Well, aside from the fact that he's Romantic era and collapsing all music more than 109 years old into the group "classical" is silly, yes.
18:41:18 <oklopol> well i thought i should probably correct that because i'd get some gay comment like that if he wasn't actually classical
18:41:32 -!- schlangen1 has joined.
18:41:33 <oklopol> but then i realized that matterd not
18:41:58 <oklopol> hiding the fact i don't know shit about non-modern genres either wouldn't change the fact i don't
18:42:15 <pikhq> So, you listen to less-than-recent music.
18:43:32 <GregorR> Yes, I listen exclusively to 80s music X-P
18:44:06 <pikhq> Wow, the decade I almost completely skip over!
18:44:11 <AnMaster> <GregorR> Elgar played loud enough to drown out their shit. <-- :D
18:47:08 <AnMaster> GregorR, hm, wouldn't Beethoven work better than Elgar in this case? Lets say his no.5 :D
18:47:26 <GregorR> I'm just shuffling my playlist *shrugs*
18:47:45 -!- oerjan has joined.
18:48:00 <pikhq> Music from 109 years and older is music that I enjoy when I hear it, but I don't have any of it, so I don't know much about it...
18:48:01 <GregorR> I'm on Beethoven's symphony 4 now, which also isn't /hugely/ suited to the purpose of drowning out their garbage.
18:48:11 <AnMaster> GregorR, so what do you listen to when it comes to what is popularly called "classical" (of course it is the wrong word, but I don't know any better either)
18:48:23 <pikhq> And therefore, I end up not knowing where to start.
18:49:00 <GregorR> AnMaster: My favorite is the 19th century Russian composers, e.g. Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, etc.
18:49:04 <AnMaster> GregorR, personally I rather like the actually classical music. Mozart, Haydn, Kraus and so on
18:49:27 <AnMaster> GregorR, hm... haven't listened much to them.
18:49:52 <AnMaster> the names do ring bells though.
18:50:16 <GregorR> Go find Borodin's Nocturne ... argh, right now I don't remember exactly which nocturne it is, one sec.
18:50:33 <AnMaster> GregorR, Borodin... Hm some opera "Furst <something>"?
18:50:44 <GregorR> Right, nocturne from string quartet #2
18:51:32 <AnMaster> ah it is the Swedish name for it...
18:51:49 <AnMaster> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Igor
18:52:10 <AnMaster> GregorR, ever listened to Kraus?
18:52:14 <M0ny> Князь Игорь :D
18:52:24 <GregorR> Yeah, but I don't own anything by him.
18:52:25 <oerjan> <GregorR> Doesn't ring a bell ... <<< with classical music, there's probably some way to make that a pun
18:52:39 <AnMaster> I can highly recommend Kraus' Sinfonia in C sharp minor. (VB 140 iirc)
18:53:52 <AnMaster> GregorR, Especially the fourth movement in it. Somehow reminds me of the last movement in Vivaldi's Summer.
18:53:55 <GregorR> AnMaster: OK, you listen to Borodin's nocturne and I'll listen to that :P
18:54:32 <AnMaster> GregorR, I'll see if I can find it somewhere. I think I have a CD with mixed Russian composers. Let me check if it is on there. brb
18:54:49 <GregorR> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSdMKJqnnW4 <-- I believe this is it
18:54:58 <GregorR> Just searched on youtube, haven't started listening to check :P
18:55:10 <oerjan> <GregorR> Gracenotes: Y'know, for the last 11 hours or so, the only messages in #esoteric are you quitting and logging in (OK, a few log-ins and log-outs from other people)
18:55:23 <AnMaster> <GregorR> Right, nocturne from string quartet #2
18:55:23 <oerjan> i was starting to wonder if clog was acting up again
18:55:34 <oerjan> but no whole hours seem missing
18:55:38 <GregorR> The nocturne is a movement :P
18:55:51 <AnMaster> GregorR, then I have it on that cd
18:56:19 <GregorR> It's probably Borodin's most popular piece, but for good reason.
18:57:04 <AnMaster> GregorR, as for Kraus' VB 140 (fourth movement: Allegro). I couldn't find it on youtube when I looked some time ago. I do have it on cd
18:57:48 <oerjan> <GregorR> Some idiots outside my apartment are playing "toss the beanbag into a fucking wooden block", which seems to be a popular game amongst drunken frat morons, while also playing shitty music, so I'm employing some COUNTER-ELGAR
18:57:57 * oerjan whistles "Land of hope and glory"
18:58:09 <oerjan> mind you, that's the only Elgar i know
18:58:27 <GregorR> Unfortunately, your whistling does not appear to have reached here.
18:58:39 <GregorR> Hahahah, they left! I win!
18:58:40 <oerjan> i can do little about that
18:59:45 <AnMaster> I might have found it on there. *checks if it is good quality*
18:59:51 <oklopol> GregorR: i guess toss the nerd isn't popular anymore
19:00:03 * oerjan used to watch the promenade concert, long ago when he actually watched tv
19:00:13 <GregorR> oklopol: The prerequisite "break into somebody's apartment" isn't so popular
19:01:07 <oklopol> GregorR: right, i guess i'm old-fashioned.
19:01:55 <oklopol> i never used to watch tv, but nowadays it's always on in my favorite pizza place :|
19:02:25 <oklopol> and when it's not, there's usually a newspaper, which ofc is even worse
19:02:50 * GregorR watches TV until pinkish-grey goo starts to melt out of his ears.
19:03:28 * oerjan still reads newspapers at his favorite place too
19:03:37 <AnMaster> GregorR, seems http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbhA7NRZTZ0&fmt=18 to contain two variant of it, first Kraus' reworked variant in C minor, followed by the one I prefer: the original in C sharp minor.
19:03:49 <oerjan> they do have a tv but it's in the children's corner and only plays dvd movies
19:03:53 <AnMaster> it is only the last movement in both
19:04:12 <GregorR> AnMaster: What a weird way to post that, then :P
19:04:16 <pikhq> TV? Isn't that the low-resolution monitor with a DVD player hooked up to it that's near the couch?
19:04:19 <oklopol> oerjan: i'd probably prefer the kids' movies.
19:04:48 <oerjan> oklopol: well, there _are_ several children's movies i've only seen on that tv :D
19:05:57 <AnMaster> GregorR, also this is not the best recording I heard. I prefer the one I have on CD (by the Swedish Chamber Orchestra) which feels more "stormy" kind of.
19:07:21 <AnMaster> GregorR, so what do you think of them?
19:07:35 * AnMaster is listening to that nocturne atm
19:07:50 <GregorR> I just started listening. Was stupidly plodding around trying to find the start of the second one, but instead I'm just listening through both.
19:07:58 <GregorR> This is most certainly classical music.
19:08:27 <AnMaster> GregorR, yes, he died one or two years after Mozart did iirc
19:09:07 <oerjan> <oklopol> i just didn't know it was a human's name even though i think i actually do know him if he's classical
19:09:26 <oerjan> it _does_ sound like a good name for a moose, especially to norwegians :)
19:09:53 <AnMaster> oerjan, you never heard of Elgar before!?
19:10:04 <oklopol> norwegian for moose? i think i have a pen that has a picture of a moose and elg under it
19:10:13 <GregorR> ... there are Meese in Norway?
19:10:20 <oerjan> AnMaster: <* oerjan whistles "Land of hope and glory"
19:10:35 <AnMaster> oerjan, oh ok, didn't see that
19:10:48 <oerjan> i thought moose and elk were mostly synonyms
19:11:03 <AnMaster> oerjan, I think they differ in size or?
19:11:17 <AnMaster> moose being the larger Canadian ones
19:11:19 <GregorR> AnMaster: The end of one going into the beginning of the next was a bit jarring there X-D
19:11:36 <GregorR> The moose (North America) or elk (Europe), Alces alces, is the largest extant species in the deer family.
19:11:39 <AnMaster> GregorR, there was a pause between them
19:11:54 <GregorR> AnMaster: Yeah, but not so long that the key change didn't make me go "gwar!"
19:12:01 <GregorR> I had no idea elk and meese were the same.
19:12:20 <GregorR> I know, but "meese" is so much funnier.
19:12:43 <oerjan> GregorR: also, elk in north america is used for a different animal too
19:12:56 <GregorR> "Confusingly, the word elk in North America refers to the second largest deer species, Cervus canadensis, also known as the wapiti." <-- yeah, that's why
19:13:06 <AnMaster> GregorR, well what do you think of the second one? As I said, not the best recording I heard, but quite ok. And it is really a lot better experience hearing the entire symphony in the right order.
19:13:08 <GregorR> 'cuz I know of that Elk, and didn't think they were meese.
19:13:36 <GregorR> AnMaster: I agree that the original was better.
19:13:39 <AnMaster> GregorR, this nocturne is quite nice.
19:13:40 <GregorR> AnMaster: Both good though.
19:13:40 <oklopol> sofar the kraus piece sounds like a random collection of trivial etudes
19:14:18 <AnMaster> GregorR, see what I meant when I said it made me think of the last movement in Vivaldi's summer?
19:14:25 <oklopol> that usually means i need to listen to it a few more times, but i prefer just saying because i like disliking old stuff.
19:14:38 <AnMaster> GregorR, oh I love Vivaldi's summer too btw :)
19:15:02 <AnMaster> "<oklopol> *it" err -> <oklopol> that usually means it need to listen to it a few more times, but it prefer just saying because it like disliking old stuff.
19:16:02 <AnMaster> oklopol, the original makes sense, none of the changed versions do
19:16:07 <oklopol> hint: something's missing an object
19:16:53 <GregorR> When correcting yourself goes wrong.
19:17:16 <AnMaster> anyway you really need to listen to all four movements of VB 140 to get the right experience.
19:17:29 <oerjan> also, http://www.halge.com/
19:17:32 <AnMaster> they build upon each other very nicely
19:17:38 <oklopol> the second version is great btw, not that i wouldn't known they :D
19:17:40 <AnMaster> oerjan, thought Hälge was Swedish?
19:18:06 <AnMaster> oklopol, fail to parse correction
19:18:22 <AnMaster> oerjan, pretty sure it is Swedish even
19:18:36 <oklopol> the second version is great
19:18:49 <oklopol> but i didn't recognize the beginning to be the same as the first one
19:18:51 <AnMaster> oerjan, thought you implied it was Norwegian
19:18:53 <oerjan> also, he's been translated to norwegian and i've read some in the library
19:19:07 <oklopol> although i did recognize the stuff after that
19:20:25 <GregorR> Swedish, Norwegian, 'ts all "European" to me.
19:20:33 <AnMaster> oklopol, and yes it isn't simply transposed, there are some minor other changes
19:23:24 <AnMaster> GregorR, I liked that nocturne btw, though I prefer music from the classical era.
19:24:08 <AnMaster> back to figuring out how to select a non GM bank by midi on this keyboard.
19:24:34 <oklopol> AnMaster: you compose right
19:26:36 <AnMaster> oklopol, I don't have the creative part needed for composing I guess. I wouldn't know where to start. Improvising (which I can do but I'm not very good at) maybe?
19:27:51 <oklopol> err i think when i was a kid i usually took a random chord sequence, and improvised on it until something came out
19:28:00 <oklopol> nowadays i tell my brain to gimme a song
19:28:49 <AnMaster> oklopol, the reason I was checking this out is that I recently (few days ago) got a new electrical piano. Unlike my old electrical piano, this one is full size and the keys feel much more like a real piano. And the sound is much more realistic too. Downside: way heavier than the old one.
19:29:03 <oklopol> another thing you can do is make variations on existing songs.
19:30:02 <oklopol> i has a 3000€ electrical piano, a 300€ synthesizer and a very expensive piano (not mine) here
19:30:48 <oklopol> i have another electrical piano, but it's kinda unused atm
19:30:55 * AnMaster tries making a variation of this russian folk song by Beethoven for which he happened to have the music sheet within reach.
19:31:31 <AnMaster> urgh. that didn't work out very well.
19:31:51 <AnMaster> oklopol, I can't translate € to SEK
19:32:03 <oklopol> err i think the course was like 10:1 at some point
19:32:42 <AnMaster> google says 3000€ would be roughly twice as expensive as the electrical piano I bought a few days ago
19:33:04 <oklopol> anyway i used to have pretty explicit techniques for composing, unfortunately i don't anymore.
19:33:35 <oklopol> the only explicit thing i do is deciding to use a certain element and tell my brain to gimme a song that uses it :P
19:34:27 <oklopol> (i compose all the time compulsively)
19:34:42 <oerjan> AnMaster: http://www.google.no/search?hl=no&q=3000+EUR+in+SEK&meta=&aq=f&oq=
19:34:53 <AnMaster> oerjan: <AnMaster> google says 3000€ would be roughly twice as expensive as the electrical piano I bought a few days ago
19:35:21 <oerjan> well, stop contradicting yourself
19:35:38 <AnMaster> oerjan, I noticed I did have a browser window open after I said it
19:35:45 <AnMaster> otherwise I would have waited for someone else
19:36:18 <oklopol> when i bought it, the models that were better were only different in that they had this "adjusting to surroundings" thing where you left them alone for 30 minutes to play alone and learn how to sound like a grand piano in a small room.
19:38:06 <AnMaster> oklopol, mine certainly doesn't have it
19:38:32 <AnMaster> it is a rather basic Roland FP-4
19:38:53 <oklopol> mine is a yamaha i think. but dunno. not really into details.
19:39:05 <oerjan> oklopol: sounds like a megalomaniac AI. are you sure this is safe?
19:39:30 <oklopol> oerjan: there's a reason i didn't buy one.
19:39:55 <AnMaster> oklopol, also it is way more money that I would like to put on an electrical piano. :P
19:40:05 <AnMaster> in fact more than I could afford
19:40:31 <oklopol> the best ones would've been like 5000
19:40:46 -!- Judofyr has joined.
19:41:15 <AnMaster> oklopol, I wouldn't be able to afford that.
19:42:01 <oklopol> well, my parents had jobs at the time.
19:42:23 <oklopol> 3000 is nothing if you have a job.
19:42:49 <oklopol> i mean i get like 400 a month and i could afford that easily
19:43:18 <oklopol> maybe even two of them, although admittedly that would be an outrageous lie.

20:42:22 <coppro> Probably randomly (UUID or the like)
20:42:26 <ehird> semi-random or checksum
20:42:31 <ehird> err, not semi-random, random
20:42:49 <ehird> maybe they use radioactive decay
20:42:49 <oerjan> AnMaster: given that the id is the _only_ distinguishing part, you'd think they would need to avoid collisions
20:42:52 <ehird> AnMaster: err wait
20:42:54 <coppro> It's not 36, there's upper and lowercase letters
20:43:00 <AnMaster> ehird, I think upper case, lower case, numbers, _ and - are all allowed
20:43:08 <coppro> yeah, I would guess 64
20:43:13 <oerjan> so a deterministic checksum would not work
20:43:31 <coppro> usually for this stuff you just make it random and repick when you find a collision
20:43:45 <ais523> hi coppro, I was wondering when you'd turn up over here
20:44:20 <coppro> ais523: as soon as I discovered it in a /whois
20:44:57 <ais523> I should have mentioned it earlier when you started talking about INTERCAL-variant Baudot, I suspect only about 10 people know of that
20:45:17 * AnMaster is listening to this electrical piano playing Arabesque very well (built in demo song thing, why do they include that? Do they think someone would buy a electrical piano because it has 67 built in demo songs?)

20:51:57 <oerjan> fizzie: you know why it replaces the << but not the >> ?
20:52:17 <AnMaster> oerjan, I asked that several seconds before, I guess you are lagged.
20:52:33 <fizzie> oerjan: Not really; I wondered about that, too.
20:52:54 <oerjan> but i didn't check after typing the line before pressing return
20:53:06 <fizzie> oerjan: It should replace both. There might be a: bug.

20:57:26 <oerjan> ais523: it was a known sequence in the encyclopedia of integer sequences, but it still wasn't obvious why the definition there fit
20:57:30 <AnMaster> I suspect that scramble always cycles in the long end.
20:57:34 <olsner> ^unscramble usrmlebacn
20:57:55 <coppro> proving it cycles is easy
20:58:12 <ais523> it obviously cycles, for the same reason that BackFlip programs always terminate
20:58:18 <AnMaster> I just didn't bother making a formal proof, thus I used "suspect"
20:58:22 <oklopol> avruusotin <<< space taker
20:58:28 <AnMaster> ais523, BackFlip is sub-tc then?
20:58:37 <oklopol> <olsner> doesn't every reversible function with the same in- and out-domain eventually cycle back to the original value? <<< no
20:58:38 <fizzie> oklopol: More like "spce taker".
20:58:46 <ais523> AnMaster: yes, obviously
20:58:52 <ais523> it doesn't even have infinite storage
20:59:03 <ais523> the fact that it always terminates is probably more interesting than the fact it's sub-TC, though
20:59:15 <AnMaster> ais523, I don't remember details of BackFlip *looks at wiki page*
20:59:17 <ais523> even more interestingly, Unassignable can be proven to always terminate along similar lines, and it's pretty high-level
20:59:21 <olsner> hmm, no, the original value doesn't have to be in the cycle... of course :(
20:59:26 <oklopol> olsner: there's this thing called multiplication
20:59:30 <ais523> olsner: it does if it's reversible
20:59:50 <oklopol> olsner: that's not the issue. it's in the cycle for permutations.
20:59:50 <olsner> oklopol: ooh, I might add that I meant the domain was finite
21:00:07 <AnMaster> ais523, "The first line of the file must be the longest and all lines below it are padded to its length with spaces, if necessary."
21:00:41 <ais523> to help interps allocate memory better
21:00:50 <oklopol> olsner: if the original weren't in the cycle, the inverse operation would be able to tell how many cycles you've gone around when you started undoing it after cycling a few rounds
21:01:21 <oklopol> a->b->c->b->c->b->c->..., if you started taking the inverse, it couldn't know when to give a
21:01:26 <ais523> oklopol: heh, that's sort of the opposite of the way I proved it, I was reasoning that in order to join the cycle there'd have to be some element in the cycle with two different inverses
21:01:53 <olsner> oh, the inverse and the forward function would have to have the same cycles I guess
21:01:54 <oklopol> ais523: hmm, i think that's exactly the same proof
21:02:37 <ehird> oklopol: the proof is its own inverse!
21:02:50 <AnMaster> ais523, hm. That would solve a lot in befunge. I could even do something like mmap() file, mmap() an equally large area and do a bulk copy then
21:03:40 <ais523> AnMaster: well, not exactly
21:03:52 <ais523> that means that the interp pads all lines to the same length as the first, not the input file
21:04:13 <oerjan> ais523: http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A003558 was it
21:04:35 <AnMaster> ais523, could the first line end in some spaces?
21:04:53 <oklopol> oerjan: how long did you check btw?
21:05:11 <ais523> AnMaster: I'm not sure, I normally use hyphens
21:05:13 <oerjan> should i paste the haskell?
21:05:54 <oklopol> oerjan: that's not very reliable, haskell can do infinite lists, so why cut it?
21:06:14 <oerjan> er, to print the output
21:07:01 <oerjan> i didn't see the point in checking further (i was just comparing by eye though)
21:07:22 <oerjan> as in, i didn't implement the definition on the website
21:07:42 <oklopol> i'm pretty sure element 65427 would've been different

21:18:54 -!- FireFly has joined.
21:19:24 <AnMaster> someone should count number of citations vs number of [citation needed] on wikipedia. Both total and as average ratio per article
21:19:37 <Sgeo> Can I safely use Javascript 1.6 stuff?
21:19:53 <Asztal> Sgeo: no, I don't think so
21:19:55 <ais523> I thought JavaScript 3 was out nowadays
21:20:22 <ehird> ais523: have you ever used a browser?
21:20:48 <AnMaster> there is more than one version of javascript? I thought it was just version with lots of implementation specific extensions on top
21:21:10 <ehird> AnMaster: you are so, so wrong.
21:21:12 <Sgeo> Well, I'm on the Mozilla site, so 1.6 according to Mozilla anyway
21:21:26 <AnMaster> ehird, I said "thought" not "think"
21:21:28 * Sgeo would really like to be able to use indexOf for this
21:21:38 <Sgeo> Or at least a way to check to see if an element is in an array.
21:21:40 <ais523> AnMaster: as of 16 september 2008, the last time the stats were calculated, there were 607524 uses of {{reflist}}, and 124868 of {{fact}}
21:21:41 <ehird> Sgeo: nobody will use it.
21:21:55 <ehird> ais523: reflist? there's other ways to do references.
21:21:58 <ais523> AnMaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MostLinkedTemplates
21:21:58 <Sgeo> Unless there's a better way to populate an array with random unique numbers?
21:22:02 <ais523> ehird: yes, but they're harder to count
21:22:19 <Sgeo> Well, I also need to check the array being used, so
21:22:21 <ais523> 127644 of {{unreferenced}}, by the way
21:22:39 <AnMaster> ais523, what about per-article average?
21:22:48 <ais523> divide by the number of articles
21:24:28 <AnMaster> ais523, so more citations than citation needed at that point of time?
21:24:35 <AnMaster> also when will that page next update
21:25:11 <ais523> AnMaster: when someone next runs that particular batch query, and I'm pretty sure it's a long way down the developer's list of priorities
21:25:30 <AnMaster> ais523, well why isn't it automatically updated?
21:25:45 <ehird> AnMaster: Why don't you buy them a fuckin' server?
21:25:52 <ehird> You know, so they can run tons of useless queries all the time.
21:25:58 <ais523> have you any idea how much processing it needs to scrape the whole of Wikipedia?
21:26:11 <ais523> nowadays they have a toolserver for that sort of thing, but it would take it weeks or months to recompile that list I expect
21:26:17 <ais523> and using a dedicated server for it would be a waste
21:26:23 <ehird> ais523: oh, I doubt it'd take that long
21:26:30 <AnMaster> ais523, you could add a field and update it on edit
21:26:32 <pikhq> ... Why scrape Wikipedia? They post database dumps on a regular basis.
21:26:34 <coppro> well once you have the initial metrics, you can update on edit
21:26:40 <coppro> and yeah, databse dumps
21:26:41 <ais523> pikhq: I meant, from the dumps
21:26:42 <ehird> AnMaster: yeah let's just have 100 fields for every edit
21:26:51 <ehird> ais523: if you run it on a multi-core system with a very fast disk I imagine you could do a few thousand articles a second
21:26:51 <ais523> also, updating templates on edit would be a real mess the way MediaWiki works
21:26:56 <AnMaster> ehird, they already have "pages using this template"
21:26:58 <pikhq> Eh, I'd guess that Wikipedia would be freaking huge.
21:27:04 <ehird> AnMaster: that's different
21:27:11 <ehird> they maintain that index anyway
21:27:26 <ais523> there are several known tricks to correct it
21:27:39 <AnMaster> true, so how many pages use {{fact}} and how many use {{reflist}}
21:27:51 <AnMaster> as in not instances, but pages with instances
21:28:12 <AnMaster> ehird, put wikipedia on a ram disk :D
21:28:23 <ehird> AnMaster: it's called a solid state drive
21:28:32 <ehird> or, why not just fit WP in ram?
21:28:54 <ehird> i meant, 'a fast disk' meant SSD.
21:29:00 <AnMaster> and I specifically meant a ramdisk
21:29:07 <ehird> you can't get ram disks big enough for wp, I don't think.
21:29:16 <ehird> ssd is quick enough to scrape wp
21:29:19 <ehird> you have other benchmarks
21:29:28 <ehird> s/benchmarks/bottlenecks/
21:29:40 <ehird> AnMaster: So? My next machine will have 12GB of ram.
21:29:41 <pikhq> It'd be a wee bit pricy, but you could have all of Wikipedia in RAM.
21:30:00 <AnMaster> ehird, so just get a 32 GB RAM machine or such and use a part of it for a 12 GB RAM disk
21:30:01 <ehird> Put a minimal linux on there and you could fit most of WP.
21:30:17 <ehird> Or just read most of it in RAM, and have a one-time swapover cost.
21:30:22 <ehird> 32GB is expensive.
21:31:08 <ehird> pikhq: Yeah, but the kind of person who wants to scrape WP can't afford 32gb of ram.
21:31:14 <AnMaster> ehird, or even more expensive: go for a massively parallel HPC computer/cluster
21:31:49 <ehird> 12GB of DDR3 RAM + 4-core machine + SSD disk to load it into RAM quickly = quite cheap mega-fast wikipedia processor.
21:32:03 <ehird> Quite cheap as these things go, that is.
21:32:09 <pikhq> ehird: I think I could just about afford that much RAM and a motherboard to use it. I'd be broke after doing so, but still...
21:32:40 <ehird> Yeah, I'll be pretty dry on cash after this. (But I never buy much.)
21:32:42 <AnMaster> pikhq, wikipedia will soon outgrow it
21:32:44 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: Nah.
21:32:53 <pikhq> ais523: Well, yeah. I'd really rather not.
21:33:06 <AnMaster> I thought it was 12 GB of text
21:33:09 <ehird> AnMaster: Don't even think about images.
21:33:15 <AnMaster> does that include the talk pages?
21:33:24 <ehird> I'm not exactly getting 12GB of RAM to scrape WP.
21:33:26 <pikhq> ais523: Especially since the same funds could instead be spent to get me a nice Opteron motherboard with a couple of 4-core chips or some such. ;)
21:33:33 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: So load it into RAM.
21:33:45 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: Well, w/ DDR3...
21:33:59 <ais523> I don't think there's ever been a successful official public backup of the image servers
21:34:09 <ehird> You'd still be IO-bound, but the bound wouldn't be much of a bound.
21:34:26 <AnMaster> ais523, how much space do the images on wp use?
21:34:39 <AnMaster> also I'm pretty sure wp deletes old images.
21:34:44 <ehird> AnMaster: terabytes.
21:34:51 <ais523> how would image undelete work, then?
21:35:04 <AnMaster> ais523, well I have seen lots of images with the oldest revisions missing
21:35:14 <ehird> that's cuz they're before they were recorded, I guess.
21:35:15 <ais523> AnMaster: image undelete is relatively recent
21:35:22 <ais523> as in, only a few years old
21:35:42 <AnMaster> ais523, so what happened with those old revisions of it?
21:36:18 <ais523> well, there was a server crash which lost the entire deleted-stuff archives several years ago
21:36:38 <bsmntbombdood> "Currently Wikipedia does not allow or provide facilities to download all Images."
21:36:40 <ais523> also, deleting images used to just delete the image, although the metadata stayed in the article deleted-revision archives
21:36:44 <AnMaster> ais523, check the thumbnails in the history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg
21:36:52 <AnMaster> ais523, tell me what happened there
21:37:02 <AnMaster> ais523, I get 403 Forbidden for old ones
21:37:12 <fizzie> Internet archive seems to be about 3 petabytes nowadays, and growing "about 100 terabytes per month"; it's nice that the petabyte gets some use too.
21:37:48 <AnMaster> what about google's "cached pages" archive?
21:38:08 <ais523> AnMaster: I'm not entirely sure what's going on there
21:38:33 <AnMaster> ais523, well tell some wp devs or something about this issue?
21:39:06 <ais523> AnMaster: I'm sure it isn't their top priorit
21:39:21 <ais523> if you want to, email wikitech-l
21:39:24 <AnMaster> ais523, but I have seen this on lots of images
21:39:33 <ais523> which is a reasonable place to ask stupid questions
21:39:35 <fizzie> Haven't seen google speaking about their size. But there's one estimate (in wp) that global Internet traffic in one month is "5 to 8 exabytes".

21:50:51 <Deewiant> http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GodProof.htm is amusing and news to me
21:50:52 <impomatic> Also, does anyone have access to this paper "Van der Poel, W.L., 1956, 1962: The Logical Principles of Some Simple Computers."
21:51:19 <ehird> AnMaster: just have an external power supply thing, so that it's agnostic to how you power the fans
21:51:29 <fizzie> There's that MONIAC thing, though it's not exactly very programmable.

22:00:23 <AnMaster> bsmntbombdood, manually rank each page or what
22:00:25 <oklopol> kinda like C is a minorly tweaked potato
22:00:29 <ais523> subleq does subtractions
22:00:34 <ais523> whereas DJN does decrements

22:00:44 <bsmntbombdood> AnMaster: YES I AM GOING TO MANUALLY RANK EACH PAGE IN WIKIPEDIA
22:00:46 <ehird> minor = instead of subtracting N, decrement
22:01:08 <ais523> I wouldn't call that minor
22:01:16 <AnMaster> <oklopol> kinda like C is a minorly tweaked potato <-- C minor or C major

22:02:07 <oklopol> except it's in the other direction, which imo makes it less minor.
22:02:12 <Deewiant> I'd call that minor as well :-P
22:02:13 <AnMaster> ais523, isn't subleq using a immediate rather than a memory address for number to substraction
22:02:24 <AnMaster> if so, it is very minor indeed
22:02:30 <ais523> AnMaster: subtract != decrement
22:02:36 <ais523> that's a big difference in any OISC

23:33:38 <ehird> NX is a ... what that you can't execute?
23:33:59 <Ilari> NX on Linux disables code execution on all pages that don't have PROT_EXEC.
23:33:59 <pikhq> NX is a flag on the page stating that it can't be executed from.

23:34:40 <pikhq> (namely, everything that does x86_64.)
23:35:14 <Ilari> I have heard that there are some X86-64 CPUs that can't do NX. All X86-64s from AMD support it, but some from Intel don't.

23:41:44 <ais523> yep, that's the usual way I think
23:41:57 <coppro> my loop condition involves .VVVVVVVVvVVVVVV1110
23:47:31 <ais523> those should all be capital, presumably?
23:47:43 <ais523> I've done the multiple-unary trick before, although it isn't portable
23:48:03 <ais523> I think the standard method, of self-selection, though, is probably both more efficient and almost as clear
23:48:08 <ehird> ais523: you asked about nibbles?
23:48:14 <ehird> well, it's not available for my os :P
23:48:22 <ehird> I have ubuntu in a vm.
23:48:42 <ehird> wait, doesn't your internet connection thing ban that?
23:48:43 <ais523> also, the AI I submitted to Gnome for Nibbles is now the official one
23:48:47 <ais523> ehird: different connection
23:48:48 <coppro> ais523: What do you mean it isn't portable?
23:48:49 <ehird> As a warning, I'm terrible.
23:48:50 <ais523> that's why I wanted to do it now
23:48:58 <ais523> coppro: J-INTERCAL doesn't like it
23:49:05 <ais523> and in C-INTERCAL, you have to phrase it differently
23:49:10 <ais523> as "VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV.V1110"
23:49:18 <ais523> that works in CLC-INTERCAL too, btw
23:49:23 <coppro> yeah, but it's deprecated
23:49:26 <ais523> note that the quotes are required
23:50:13 <ais523> ehird: do you have a NAT at your end/
23:50:19 <ais523> I do over here, so you'd better host the game
23:50:24 <ehird> ais523: My ports are all blocked up, but I can open them manually.
23:50:36 <ais523> 5688 is the port for gnome-games, I think
23:50:44 <ais523> coppro: killer app for Linux
23:50:47 <ais523> it's multiplayer Snake
23:50:57 <ehird> ais523: what ports?
23:51:06 <ehird> ais523: udp or tcp
23:51:16 <ais523> I don't know offhand, shall I look it up?
23:51:34 <ais523> that's unlikely, my guess for a game like that is pure TCP
23:52:22 <ais523> what IP should I connect to? 208.78.103.223?
23:52:30 <ehird> I'm going to start the host.
23:52:32 <ehird> As soon as I figure out how.
23:53:02 <ehird> ais523: Uh, I can't find anything about running a server.
23:53:19 <ais523> ah, it's in a different package
23:53:27 <ais523> we can connect via the official server instead if you prefer
23:53:43 <ehird> This way's funner.
23:53:56 <ehird> I'll have it up in a min.
23:54:39 <ehird> ais523: try connecting
23:54:46 <ehird> wow, that was painless
23:55:08 <ais523> I get "Connection refused"
23:55:27 <ehird> I'm connected via my bouncer, fools!
23:55:35 <ehird> Try 91.105.116.151.
23:55:49 <ais523> still connection refused
23:56:04 <coppro> I should be on guest connection?
23:56:50 <ais523> still connection refused
23:56:55 <ais523> but it waited about a second beforehand
23:57:26 <ais523> nope, still connection refused
23:57:30 <ehird> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
23:57:34 <ehird> I can figs this out.
23:57:51 <ais523> $ nc 91.105.116.151 5688
23:57:53 <ais523> (UNKNOWN) [91.105.116.151] 5688 (ggz) : Connection refused
23:58:03 <ais523> decided to try that way too, just in case it was a problem with Nibbles
23:58:06 <ehird> I must have to tweak the config.
23:58:07 -!- Judofyr has quit (Remote closed the connection).
23:58:24 <ehird> Here's the config files.
23:59:15 <ehird> Try now, coppro & ais523.
23:59:28 <ehird> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
23:59:28 <ais523> still connection refused
23:59:35 <ais523> on nc and from Niibles
23:59:38 <ehird> Okay, wait, lemme think.
23:59:43 <ehird> Clearly, it's denying you guys access, right?
23:59:57 <ais523> OTOH, I can netcat to, say, port 22
23:59:57 <ehird> So, it's a problem with ggzd.
