01:02:41 <elliott> Has there ever been anything less impossible to get excited or interested about?
01:02:54 <pikhq> VMware is a bitch to automate compared to VirtualBox, believe it or not.

01:28:41 <zzo38> A template does require a separate node.

02:22:40 -!- Mathnerd314 has joined.
02:23:36 <quintopia> i just thought up possibly the most difficult to counter defense program ever devised. basically the only way to counter it without making your program suck balls would be to 1) use ridiculously deep nesting to allow for more unpredictable behavior, or 2) do the saccharin_philip sort of thing :P
02:24:16 <Gregor> So, the only way to counter it is to do what's already done? :P
02:24:35 <Sgeo> What's a saccharin philip?
02:25:16 <quintopia> Gregor: saccharin_philip is pretty awesome dude. i mean really cool.
02:26:04 <Gregor> quintopia: It's a ripoff of poke + lead_acetate_philip X-P
02:26:55 <quintopia> Gregor: then lead_acetate_philip is pretty awesome
02:27:29 <quintopia> the idea of building 4 decoys at once slowly wreaks havoc on a decent clear
02:28:05 <quintopia> and the idea of treating the first 4 decoys carelessly before actually trying kills pretty much every defense program
02:28:29 <quintopia> and allows you to outpace a standard rusher
02:28:52 <Gregor> Ah, the simulbuild part is all saccharin, and yeah, I was originally going to build them one at a time, then tested it and came to the conclusion that it confused programs more to build them at once.
02:29:10 <Gregor> I still, however, can't do squat against shuddering >_<
02:29:17 <Gregor> If I could, maaaan things would be nice :P
02:29:39 <quintopia> which is why i was thinking that this ridiculously deeply nested clear needs to be written
02:30:15 <quintopia> i was thinking of making up a bf variant with subroutine calls to make writing it easier
02:30:29 <quintopia> it would compile by copying the subroutines into all the right places
02:30:46 <quintopia> since it's really quite impossible to do it just ({})% alone
02:33:10 <quintopia> what would make it easiest is if we had (a?i{b}c)%i=32 type code, which would expand to: a32a31a30a29a28...bc...c
02:33:35 <Gregor> I was actually considering implementing that.
02:33:37 <quintopia> i'm seriously thinking about writing this compiler >_>

05:50:33 <Sgeo> Convert the world to IPv6 so you don't have to deal with crappy NAT

13:08:36 <Gregor> fizzie: I was considering requesting a spec change to allow proper comments, since I also had to do stupid crap like:
13:11:51 <Gregor> ais523, elliott: Real nested comments. I want them. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a "bare" {} (outside of any ()s) would be considered a comment, since we're running out of pairable characters :P
13:12:40 <ais523> (comment (nested comment)*0 more comment)*0
13:13:05 <ais523> what you mean is, you want comments that allow arbitrary characters inside
13:13:23 <Gregor> ais523: Yes. See furry_furry_bondage_girls. It is a polyglot. It would be good to allow such honesty easily.
13:15:21 <ais523> you found a program befitting the name?
13:17:34 <ais523> just with a crazy decoy setup?
13:17:38 <Gregor> It's just a cleverer philip.

13:18:15 <Gregor> I've got more up my sleeve, but that's for later.
13:18:24 <ais523> I was just verifying that definder2 won the way it was meant to against it, and it does
13:19:41 <Gregor> Anyway, any thoughts on comments :P
13:20:06 <Gregor> I know you generate some programs, and IM(Not-at-all)HO, it would be good for anybody who used code generators to present them as part of their solution.
13:21:31 <ais523> I don't generally use them for the whole thing
13:21:54 <ais523> I just use them in order to generate things like complex lock patterns
13:22:06 <ais523> definder and definder2 were generated via the same program, for instance
13:22:11 <ais523> even though they have basically no code in common
13:22:36 <Gregor> Even so, an arbitrary comment would allow you (encourage you?) to include the relevant code in the relevant part.
13:22:47 <Gregor> (If not be a polyglot pseudoquine :P )
13:24:17 <ais523> sometimes the generation backfires horribly, like with defend9

16:34:24 <ais523> I unrolled let_sleeping_tripwires_lie to level 4 by hand, I think
16:36:23 <Gregor> Hahaha, watching full-tape clear to the finish would be soooo boring :P
16:36:47 <Gregor> (On any longer length)
16:37:52 <ais523> and incredibly CPU-intensive, too
16:38:09 <ais523> that's why I shortened the tape length for the defend7 example, as it uses a full-tape clear too
16:38:16 <Gregor> Oh cool, there are descriptions now.
16:38:28 <ais523> I added descriptions for my own programs
16:38:33 <ais523> because I knew what they did
16:39:03 <Gregor> That is a sensible reason :P
16:39:08 <Gregor> I should add descriptions for mine I suppose.
16:39:27 <Gregor> defend7 at this tape length is very elucidating.
16:39:53 <cheater00> look what digging up my browser history brought
16:50:21 <Gregor> I should adjust EgoJSout so that the parser function yields :P
16:52:35 <ais523> ah, is that what causes the freeze just after loading a large program, before running it?

19:37:29 <Gregor> lawl, after reducing the depth to produce shorter code, I have created the world's worst tripwire: when tripped, it does nothing, and I continue on my merry way.

19:38:53 <ais523> the loss to slowrush looks like a bug, btw
19:39:06 <ais523> so I think it can go higher
19:44:30 <ais523> I wonder if slowrush's offset of 22 was chosen because 22*3 > 64?

20:24:40 <ais523> his complaint is that it pushes things down the screen
20:24:44 <elliott> Gregor: No. Having to scroll down to see more than three lines of trace is.
20:24:55 <elliott> Which is exactly what I do constantly when developing warriors.
20:24:57 <Gregor> The top however-many lines of trace are useless anyway X_X
20:25:07 <elliott> I can see how decoys are built, etc.
20:25:17 <Gregor> Oh look, I moved over and started to build a decoy
20:25:34 <ais523> elliott still lives in a world of small decoys, I think
20:25:40 <elliott> Gregor: Um, yes, because I tweak warriors.
20:25:55 <elliott> Gregor: I like to see what decoys other warriors build so that I can figure out how to effectively counter them.
20:25:58 <quintopia> Gregor: i don't think he'll be happy until the animation opens in a separate window when you click a button
20:26:00 <elliott> And it lets me see if they're setting up a tripwire, etc.

20:30:50 <ais523> I liked them both being there, they pushed defend9.75 above wireless

20:32:34 <Gregor> elliott: Esp. since it'd be so easy to work around.
20:32:47 <Gregor> EgoBot needs love too.
20:32:58 <elliott> in "trace and animation", what is the other program? simple?
20:33:04 <Sgeo> EgoBot, will you be my Valentine?
20:33:06 <Gregor> elliott: If unspecified.
20:33:22 <Gregor> elliott: You can also specify two unnamed arguments and then the second will be, err, the second.
20:33:45 <elliott> ais523: in "{{foo|x|abc=def|y}}", is y {{{2}}} or {{{3}}}?
20:33:50 <quintopia> Gregor: i was considering the idea of a hill where people couldn't play their warriors against their other warriors. i rejected it because people seem to like to come up with ideas that can beat their old ideas (i know i do)
20:33:50 <ais523> elliott: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Qif
20:33:56 <ais523> elliott: I think it's {{{2}}}, but I'm not sure
20:34:07 <Gregor> quintopia: How would you accomplish such a concept?
20:34:12 <ais523> it's certainly confusing, at least, and would better be written with named params everywhere or all the anonymous templates first
20:34:24 <elliott> ais523: but the named one is the optional one
20:34:30 <elliott> {{BFJProg|nescience_creep|
20:34:41 <elliott> {{BFJProg|nescience_creep|anim=sdfg09ug98t98rtue|
20:34:48 <quintopia> Gregor: just assume that people always submit their warriors using the same nick. but that was all hypothetical and rejected.
20:34:49 <ais523> btw, it's best for long params like the description to be named
20:34:56 <ais523> because otherwise the template breaks if they have an = sign in anywhere
20:35:09 <elliott> ais523: heh, OK, I'll name it desc then.
20:35:33 <ais523> hmm, I wonder if {{qif}} counts as public-domain?
20:35:42 <ais523> if not, we might not be allowed to use it on Esolang, which would be kind-of ridiculous
20:35:49 <elliott> ais523: tell me how it works
20:36:21 <quintopia> obtw, i never asked before but i've always wondered. why limes?
20:36:28 <Sgeo> "A few programs may benefit from not setting up decoys. This normally happens with bad programs, where setting up decoys may not aid their strategy because it was a bad idea in the first place, whereas not setting up decoys can trick tripwire avoiders off the end of the tape;"
20:36:38 <Sgeo> So, I should never write a program that makes a decoy. Got it.
20:36:46 <ais523> umm, that would involve knowing how it works
20:36:54 <elliott> ais523: I'm going to consider this public domain, because insanity isn't copyrightable
20:37:06 <ais523> quintopia: I think it's just a picture Graue liked
20:37:11 <ais523> there isn't any inherent reason as far as I know
20:37:27 <elliott> has anyone ever NOT asked why the logo is limes :)
20:37:43 <quintopia> ais523: so. do you think he'd let us change it to a complete and cartoonified version of careless philip the turtle? and make him our mascot? :P
20:37:48 <elliott> so, err, qif is worked like
20:37:55 <elliott> {{qif|param|ifitsthere|ifitsnot}}
20:37:57 <ais523> I think I know how qif works
20:38:11 <ais523> no, it's {{qif|test=maybenull|then=one|else=two}}
20:38:18 <ais523> the param names are needed, the template doesn't work otherwise
20:38:35 <Sgeo> According to the docs, yes
20:38:36 <ais523> no, but you can omit then if you like
20:38:50 <ais523> they changed it to the sane way round
20:38:53 <elliott> ais523: argh, "then= foo" strips the space?
20:39:08 <elliott> ais523: what to do? ? :P
20:39:12 <ais523> use nbsp if you can, or perhaps <nowiki></nowiki> before the space
20:39:21 <ais523> or nowiki the space itself
20:39:36 <elliott> yep, <nowiki></nowiki> works
20:39:49 <elliott> Gregor: What does {{BFJAnim|abc|}} do?
20:39:52 <elliott> With the empty last parameter?
20:40:00 <elliott> PLEASE say "works perfectly as if you didn't have an empty last parameter".
20:40:16 <Gregor> elliott: I have no idea, depends on how MediaWiki handles empty parameters.
20:40:22 <elliott> ais523: {{{2|x}}} where 2 is empty =?
20:40:43 <ais523> whereas it gives the value of 2 if 2 isn't empty
20:40:47 <elliott> Gregor: hmm, what does the second parameter to BFJAnim do?
20:41:05 <elliott> I need to know what to call it :P
20:41:06 <Gregor> elliott: It is the second program to be used.
20:41:07 <ais523> elliott: second param is the program to play against, "simple" or a hash in storage
20:41:25 <ais523> I suggest you take a call to BFJAnim as input, btw
20:41:32 <ais523> rather than its params individually
20:41:32 <elliott> ais523: oh, probably the best idea
20:41:36 <ais523> because it has several optional params
20:41:52 * elliott converts the page to use the new template
20:42:14 <ais523> Gregor: decoytuner was never top of the leaderboard, was it? I removed it from the page because it was awful and I can't believe it was #1
20:42:20 <ais523> decoytuner2 might have been, though
20:42:45 * elliott ponders whether to have |code= as a param to BFJProg
20:42:51 <elliott> or whether that should be part of the descriptoin
20:43:03 <Gregor> ais523: I only added things that were #1.
20:43:06 <Sgeo> Gregor, the animation thing is awesome
20:43:13 <Gregor> Sgeo: Why thank you :P
20:43:15 <ais523> the thing is, some have code because they're short, some have links because they're long
20:43:26 <ais523> Gregor: I think you might have made a mistake
20:43:31 <elliott> ais523: right; well, I will have |code= and |codeurl= then
20:43:35 <ais523> decoytuner, the original, never went anywhere
20:43:42 <Gregor> ais523: Impossible!: P

20:46:42 <ais523> they're in verbatim blocks, that's what the leading space does
20:46:43 * elliott puts the code on a separate line
20:46:56 <elliott> ais523: need nowiki with the template, though
20:47:00 <elliott> since it handles the display itself
20:47:00 <ais523> you should enclose them in <pre> if you're using the template, I think
20:47:05 <ais523> it's a different sort of verbatim block
20:47:09 <ais523> and has an implicit nowiki
20:47:18 <elliott> ais523: the template might want to display it outside of a pre, though!
20:47:19 <ais523> (note: this is not what <pre> actually means in HTML)
20:47:34 <elliott> woo, the template doesn't work
20:47:38 <elliott> probably because qif doesn't work
20:48:13 <elliott> the invocation looks OK to me
20:48:51 <ais523> {{{anim}}} should probably be {{{anim|}}} in case an animation isn't available or can't easily be produced
20:49:05 <elliott> ;{{qif|test={{{url}}}|then=[{{{url}}} {{{1}}}]|else={{{1}}}}}{{qif|test={{{anim}}}|then=<nowiki></nowiki> • {{{anim}}}}}{{qif|test={{{code}}}|then=<nowiki></nowiki> • <tt>{{{code}}}</tt>}}
20:49:13 <elliott> ais523: so I need to do that even with qif?
20:49:15 <ais523> (I was going to add ones for some of the early winners, but it turns out that they lose to even simple programs; I can't think back far enough to create something they beat and still looks plausible)
20:49:29 <ais523> elliott: test param of qif definitely needs an empty param default
20:49:39 <ais523> if anim doesn't have a value, {{{anim}}} is literally {{{anim}}}
20:49:51 <ais523> and {{{anim|}}} is the null string, which is what you probably wanted

20:53:37 <Gregor> ais523: Since most of my strategies have careless cores, anticareless has done well :P
20:53:41 <ais523> Gregor: that was a different version of decoytuner than the one you put on the wiki, I think
20:53:57 <Gregor> ais523: Ah; I just checked what was the top, then grabbed the latest thing with that name.
20:54:11 <elliott> yay, another bug in BFJProg
20:54:12 <ais523> yep, that version was a turtle, the one you put on the wiki wasn't
20:55:00 <elliott> I'm quite amazed that we have creative strategy names :P
20:55:28 <elliott> that's why we need people who aren't ais523 to do well :P
20:55:51 <ais523> I use creative names for my /strategies/ (lock, etc); just not for my /programs/
20:56:05 <elliott> {{{1}}} ends with a newline
20:56:08 <elliott> Is there a "strip" template? :P
20:56:19 <ais523> there's no way to remove newlines from template params
20:56:36 <ais523> or maybe even foo= on a line and the param on the next
20:56:37 <Gregor> I use creative names for my programs (ridiculous and scary is creative, right?), but don't use creative names for my strategies since i just steal.
20:56:45 <ais523> mediawiki template newline handling is insane
20:57:01 <ais523> well, it's called "careless clear" on the wiki after the first program to be successful with it
20:57:04 <Gregor> elliott: I accidentally reinvented careless with turtle :P
20:57:13 <elliott> turtle is a better name, though
20:57:18 <ais523> in fact, I think the terminology seems to be that "turtle" is the program type and "careless" the strategy it uses
20:57:27 <ais523> i.e. turtles are careless

20:59:14 <elliott> "An obvious modification of slowrush, possibly of an earlier version."
20:59:17 <Sgeo_> I don't want the loop to be entered until I'm on some value
20:59:22 <elliott> IIRC "reversi" = "reversed" = flipped polarity
20:59:24 <ais523> Sgeo_: ah, that makes sense
20:59:38 <ais523> put > after the 128 then
20:59:39 <elliott> it might have been of an old version, but IIRC after stealing programs I used to tweak them

21:02:31 <ais523> elliott: it alternates polarity on adjacent tape elements, I think

21:03:01 <ais523> yes, in fact it's sixth
21:03:27 <ais523> because it's a pain to beat when writing defense programs, so people normally don't bother
21:03:31 * elliott saves the template conversion so far
21:03:33 <ais523> and it does quite well against the prevalent strategies nowadays
21:04:05 <ais523> it is beatable though, e.g. defend9.75 beats it and space_elevator for the same reason
21:04:31 <ais523> it's basically defend9 updated to modern strategies
21:04:42 <ais523> it detects enemy polarity and cycle length
21:04:50 <ais523> then uses a lock algorithm matched to what the enemy does
21:05:08 <ais523> it also sets seven decoys, three of which are also used as tripwires, and switches to a five-cycle clear versus defence
21:05:29 <ais523> and has all sorts of tricks to beat other common strategies

21:12:10 <elliott> perhaps a defence program should try and get multiple readings of cycle length in different situations?
21:12:16 <ais523> it's because I'm bad at beating confusers
21:12:23 <ais523> defence programs lose to rush if they do that
21:13:03 <quintopia> gregor: i've got a fixed point algorithm for scoring. it's so simple you won't believe it
21:13:15 <ais523> I like Gregor's, and how it works with the hill
21:13:23 <elliott> ais523: Gregor wants it to be fixed-point
21:13:25 <elliott> ais523: it would work the same way
21:13:27 <elliott> ais523: except be recursive
21:13:29 <quintopia> elliott: yes, except you divide by the number of programs
21:13:34 <elliott> quintopia: That's what I said ...
21:13:44 <elliott> quintopia: Surely that saturates?!
21:13:51 <elliott> And differs from the points?
21:13:57 <ais523> ooh, looks like I have both highest negative-points and lowest positive-points programs on the hill
21:14:20 <elliott> Gregor: S(p) := sum S(q) for all q that p beats, where S(x) is initially taken as P(p).
21:14:25 <elliott> Gregor: quintopia says this is fixed-point, as unlikely as that sounds.
21:14:57 <quintopia> according to this algorithm 9.75 is easily the best program in the top 5 (which is exactly what we'd expect)
21:15:45 <elliott> quintopia: got a closed-form way to calculate it? :P
21:16:24 <quintopia> elliott: actually, it's not fixed point. i was mistaken XD. it cycles because the top 3 are cyclical
21:16:42 <elliott> quintopia: If you visit the same program twice, the second time, return score 0.
21:17:14 <elliott> quintopia: Basically for any call of S(p) keep a bag for that call and its sub-calls :P
21:17:25 <elliott> And if you ever recurse on a program that you've already seen, return 0.
21:17:37 <quintopia> elliott: that requires work. right now i'm just multiplying a matrix by a vector repeatedly.
21:17:47 <quintopia> you want me to write an actual *algorithm*
21:17:56 <elliott> quintopia: A dumb recursive algorithm is not much of an algorithm :P
21:18:19 -!- augur_ has joined.
21:18:21 <quintopia> it's not dumb if you're making it dynamic programming
21:18:48 -!- augur has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
21:19:15 <ais523> I don't really like being at #1, it makes people target me
21:19:16 <elliott> quintopia: Or, even better idea: If you get called upon to return the score of a program you've already seen, return its score per the last iteration.
21:19:22 <ais523> but I suppose it's nice to be there occasionally
21:20:35 -!- pikhq_ has changed nick to pikhq.
21:20:53 <ais523> hmm, did pikhq ever joust? I can't remember
21:21:19 <elliott> write a jouster in PEBBLE :P
21:21:27 <elliott> hideous inefficiency awaits
21:21:35 <pikhq> That'd involve writing a new backend.
21:21:50 <elliott> Valid BF = valid BF Joust.
21:22:03 <pikhq> elliott: Funny thing is, PEBBLE is one of the more efficient high-level languages targetting Brainfuck.
21:22:06 <elliott> pikhq: ()* and ()% are just conveniences :P
21:22:24 <pikhq> ()* and ()% could probably be added with ease.
21:22:36 <ais523> OTOH, BF Joust doesn't follow normal programming physics
21:22:58 <ais523> assigning to a variable then checking several times that its value is still the same would normally be considered insane
21:23:04 <ais523> but it's par for the course when jousting
21:23:13 <pikhq> Probably helps a lot that PEBBLE is higher-level than Brainfuck but still *insanely* low-leve.
21:23:26 <pikhq> Low-level, rather.
21:23:38 <pikhq> It doesn't even have normal conditionals!
21:23:58 <elliott> pikhq: Yeah, but BF Joust makes assumptions like ais523 said :P
21:24:15 <pikhq> elliott: Maybe a Joust-specific set of macros would be handy.
21:24:22 <ais523> 1cnis would make a good BF Joust preprocessor, IMO
21:24:24 <elliott> ais523: also, sure it makes sense, some people actually think that writing code like that is _sane_
21:24:31 <elliott> ais523: see: people who think shared memory is a good idea (crazy people)
21:24:32 <quintopia> elliott: how about iterating until it sees a scoreboard its seen before and then averaging the entire cycle?
21:24:39 <pikhq> Thing is, PEBBLE is really little more than a macro system for Brainfuck.
21:24:44 <elliott> shared memory concurrency, that is
21:24:48 <elliott> quintopia: if that works, then sure
21:24:52 <ais523> macro system would be nice too
21:24:57 <ais523> e.g. defend9.25 has two almost identical halves
21:24:58 <pikhq> ... With optional variable support.
21:25:08 <ais523> and one bug I came across was changing things in one half but not the other
21:25:15 <ais523> double reverse tripwire programs are like that
21:25:24 <ais523> (and using one reverse tripwire tends not to work well IME)
21:25:32 <elliott> quintopia: but will that work if only the top four are cyclic? it might be thousands of scoreboards before you see the exact same scoreboard
21:25:39 <elliott> because of the butterfly effect on the programs below
21:26:04 <elliott> ais523: well, ()% is already pretty powerful
21:26:08 <quintopia> elliott: it would be a very unusual scoreboard with a cycle that long
21:26:17 <elliott> ais523: and a macro language would probably end up insane, vs. using a program to generate
21:26:24 <elliott> quintopia: but only the four top cycles
21:26:32 <elliott> so while the first four could go around in a tight cycle
21:26:36 <elliott> the programs below could change constantly
21:26:59 <quintopia> i think everything that isn't actually in a cycle will settle down
21:27:29 <quintopia> the cyclical ones just trade fractions of points with one another after that
21:27:51 <elliott> quintopia: yeah, but the other programs' scores are based on the top four
21:27:57 <elliott> so when they trade, the ones below trade too
21:28:03 <elliott> and possibly in a way that takes longer to cycle
21:30:23 <Gregor> SodaStream's Pete's Choice and Diet Pete's Choice may be better than Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper, respectively.

21:31:12 <elliott> Try sugar Dr Pepper, I hear it's a rarity there.
21:31:16 <quintopia> Gregor: have you tried making a Coke-alike?

21:31:51 <Gregor> quintopia: In spite of the "article", that's not new news :P
21:31:54 <elliott> quintopia: Did they actually reveal the recipe or just the ingredients?

21:33:56 -!- pikhq has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
21:34:05 <variable> elliott: how about I preface every statement in this channel with your name?
21:34:06 <quintopia> coca-cola uses cocaine free coca leaves
21:34:13 <elliott> quintopia: Which aren't sold to anyone else.
21:34:34 <quintopia> elliott: my client makes you and variable the same color. everyone else is different
21:34:35 <elliott> Which kinda puts a stopper on the idea.
21:35:03 <quintopia> are you sure it's impossible to acquire them?
21:35:12 <elliott> quintopia: Pretty damn sure.
21:35:37 <elliott> quintopia: This, quite understandably, riles some people up.
21:35:42 <elliott> quintopia: Um, yes, money.
21:35:47 <elliott> Coca-Cola is a friggin' huge corporation.
21:35:52 <elliott> [[Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola uses "spent," or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. The coca leaves are imported from countries like Peru and Bolivia, and they are treated by chemical company Stepan, which then sells the de-cocainized residue to Coca-Cola.[3] Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a
21:35:52 <elliott> molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1][4] The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[5][6]]]
21:36:01 <elliott> tl;dr all they have to do is tell Stepan not to sell them to anyone else.
21:36:11 <Gregor> ais523: My client doesn't color people, and yet I never seem to get them confused.
21:36:28 <ais523> Gregor: that was a strange choice of nick to ping
21:36:29 <quintopia> elliott: bah. what's stopping a different company from doing that extraction process?
21:36:33 <elliott> quintopia: I'm pretty sure you need Special Permission(TM) to treat the coca leaves too, considering they, you know, have cocaine in them.
21:36:42 <variable> funny note about Coca-Cola - the branch is worth so much that if their factories burnt down they could borrow against their name to rebuild
21:36:50 <elliott> quintopia: (This is reddit-accuracy-level information, but the logic checks out.)
21:36:58 <elliott> quintopia: ((I literally read it on reddit :P))
21:37:35 <quintopia> elliott: why not buy spent coca leaves from drug cartels? then you haven't bought illegal coca leaves or done the illegal extraction yourself
21:37:46 <elliott> DEALING WITH DRUG CARTELS: Totally legal
21:38:03 <variable> elliott: considering that you didn't buy anything illegal...
21:38:11 <elliott> *so, unless you have tons of money, like everything.
21:38:16 <variable> you would just be financing them
21:38:18 <elliott> Yeah, but are the drug cartels doing business legally?
21:38:30 <elliott> I think if you knowingly did business with drug cartels who aren't doing business legally, that would be illegal.
21:38:34 <quintopia> it doesn't matter what they do with your money. that's them being illegal, not you
21:38:38 <pikhq_> They *are* in fact perfectly legitimate businessmen..
21:38:53 <elliott> ANYWAY, point is that an _individual_ is never gonna be able to legally make Coca-Cola because of this :P
21:39:01 <elliott> quintopia: I'm sure knowingly funding illegal activities is illegal, dude.
21:39:08 <pikhq_> elliott: In certain jurisdictions.
21:39:09 <elliott> Considering that you're actually BUYING the results of an illegal activity.
21:39:12 <elliott> Rather than it just being indirect.
21:39:27 <variable> elliott: its not illegal to pay for something in cash if you know the store owner won't pay taxes on it

21:43:06 <pikhq_> elliott: In many South American countries it is actually entirely legal to grow and consume coca leaves.
21:43:10 -!- pikhq_ has changed nick to pikhq.
21:43:20 <elliott> So to make Coca-Cola, move to South America :P
21:43:44 <Gregor> elliott: I shouldn't! It's queued!
21:43:51 <quintopia> this discussion makes me want to illegally make some coca-cola
21:44:02 <Gregor> elliott: Maybe I'll PM if you convince me :P
21:44:02 <elliott> 07:17:17 <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: nah theres australia mmmmmmmmate!!!! causes hallucinations, and you didn't reply directly to you kz 2!
21:44:03 <elliott> Australia: Causes hallucinations, mmmmmmmmate!!!!
21:44:18 <elliott> Gregor: I would tell absolutely ZERO people, which is ONE LESS THAN ONE (but ONE MORE THAN NEGATIVE ONE).
21:45:23 <pikhq> Inexplicably, coca leaves in *most* countries are treated identically to cocaine.
21:47:11 <quintopia> gregor: i think only putting "champion" programs on the wiki makes it so that we'll never see any of ais523's awesome defenders there since they can't really be champions.
21:47:33 <ais523> quintopia: several of my defenders are there already
21:47:34 <Gregor> quintopia: #1s was just a baseline.
21:47:40 <ais523> defend13 was champion for a time, IIRC
21:47:42 <pikhq> Which seems a bit like banning rye bread because LSD can be synthesized from ergot.
21:48:00 <quintopia> ergotamine -> lysergic acid? really?
21:48:13 <pikhq> quintopia: That is how it was originally synthesized, actually.
21:48:36 <Deewiant> Rye bread might have relatively more legal uses than cocaine
21:48:58 <elliott> Deewiant: *than coca leaves
21:49:06 <elliott> Deewiant: Does making cola count?
21:49:19 <elliott> Deewiant: Ooh, but what about getting high?
21:49:57 <quintopia> i wonder if it's possible to breed a coca plant that tastes the same but doesn't produce cocaine
21:50:29 <Deewiant> Coca-Cola might contain coca but I don't think other colas do
21:50:44 <elliott> quintopia: Wouldn't it be simpler to legalise cocaine :P
21:50:45 <pikhq> Deewiant: Before extracting cocaine from the leaves became possible/common, consuming the leaves straight was a very common and not-very-notable thing...
21:50:56 <quintopia> it would be false advertising if coca-cola did not contain coca!
21:51:06 <elliott> Yeah isn't there that stuff about all the KULCHURES complaining about people wanting to ban chewing coca leaves
21:51:20 <pikhq> In the quantities of cocaine one gets from there, it's really no different than caffeine.
21:51:49 <quintopia> we should try to do cocaine extraction from coca-cola...
21:52:20 <Deewiant> pikhq: So was slavery but we still prefer to not do it these days
21:52:26 <pikhq> Apparently there's been no documented addictions to coca leaves.
21:52:33 <elliott> "In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant"
21:52:54 <elliott> US: Bullshit, or total bullshit?? You decide
21:52:55 <pikhq> Deewiant: Sure we do; we just call it different things.
21:52:59 <pikhq> Like "minimum wage".
21:53:15 <elliott> Minimum wage is ... slavery? :wat:
21:53:16 <quintopia> and any other company that would try would be stopped, of course, because coca-cola would pay to have it stopped
21:53:24 <elliott> Sounds like the kind of thing a libertarian crackpot would say :P
21:53:26 <elliott> quintopia: "Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1][4] The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[5][6]"
21:53:31 <pikhq> elliott: Minimum wage in the US is not a living wage.
21:53:35 <elliott> quintopia: Depending on how crackpotty Mr. Some is, you could possibly do it.
21:53:35 <Deewiant> pikhq: We don't have that in this country :-P
21:53:52 <elliott> Deewiant: Ha ha, Finland, you crazy.
21:54:21 <pikhq> Deewiant: Yeah, you just have strong unions.
21:54:39 <pikhq> Deewiant: Which gets the same effect and makes the "small government" wackos' heads explode.
21:54:47 <quintopia> it is in fact impossible to set minimum wage to a living wage as all increases in minimum wage result in increased cost of living
21:55:16 <quintopia> with changes in other laws it might could be done
21:55:19 <pikhq> quintopia: That suggests some major economic brokenness.
21:55:30 <quintopia> pikhq: it is broken. you didn't know this?
21:56:03 <pikhq> quintopia: Well, I *am* actually aware that the US economy is really broken by now...
21:56:09 <elliott> pikhq: Unions don't make small government wackos' head explode.
21:56:15 <elliott> pikhq: How can something they've outlawed confuse them? :)
21:56:21 <pikhq> elliott: Unions *instead of* a government, however?
21:56:52 <elliott> pikhq: Are you proposing some kind of unionocracy? :P
21:56:55 <pikhq> elliott: "The government is not involved but there's unions... MY HEAD ASPLODE!"
21:57:08 <elliott> As bad ideas go, unionocracy sounds pretty bad.
21:57:12 <pikhq> elliott: I believe the proper term for that is "democracy", actually. :P
21:57:28 <elliott> Unless I'm mistaken, democracy means one thing, and what it means is not what unionocracy would mean were it in the dictionary.

22:03:45 <ais523> it isn't /bad/, but it's passive

22:04:00 <ais523> it's also vulnerable to turtles, and there are a bunch of those around

22:06:10 <ais523> quintopia: the original doesn't; definder2 does, IIRC
22:06:18 <elliott> 08:30:27 <Gregor> We should set a size limit :P
22:06:18 <elliott> 08:30:29 <Gregor> Maybe 640K
22:06:25 <elliott> Gregor: lance's is 1 Mio I think.
22:06:28 <elliott> (ha, stole the o stuff from Deewiant)
22:06:34 <Gregor> 640K instruction characters, not input characters.
22:07:31 <ais523> a mibicotet would be, umm, 1/1024th of an octet?
22:07:32 <elliott> Deewiant: But do you say kio or Kio?
22:07:40 <elliott> 08:39:53 <cheater00> look what digging up my browser history brought
22:07:40 <elliott> 08:40:00 <cheater00> an old paste with vagrant on it
22:07:47 <elliott> Deewiant: But that's Inconsistent.
22:07:55 <elliott> Deewiant: (And not SI standard anyway, so it's irrelevant,)
22:08:00 <quintopia> ais523: did you ever test the original definder without the tripwire, egodeath style?
22:08:12 <elliott> Deewiant: Who cares what the IEC says :P
22:08:15 <ais523> quintopia: *Nyarlathotep style?
22:08:17 <elliott> ki is far more consistent.
22:08:20 <ais523> and no, I don't think I did
22:08:31 <Deewiant> k is inconsistent in the first place :-P
22:08:39 <elliott> Deewiant: But it's SI, and SI standards are unquestionable.
22:08:44 <ais523> but the timings would be off if the opponent took more than 98 turns to turn up
22:08:46 <ais523> which happens quite a lot
22:09:15 <elliott> I love how I can say "34 kb" to mean 4.15 kio :P
22:09:33 <elliott> ais523: kilobits, bits is lowercase b
22:09:39 <quintopia> ais523: you can determine the most likely moment for the opponent to show up by examining timings on the current hill and just wait that long
22:09:55 <ais523> quintopia: wow that'd be overspecific to the current hill
22:09:59 <ais523> and such programs tend to do badly
22:11:04 <elliott> I'm going to use "1 do" to mean 0.8 b.
22:11:28 <elliott> "Oh yeah, that's about 100 dos" = "Oh yeah, that's about 10 bits".
22:11:31 <quintopia> ais523: i doubt it would be actually. i suspect an average of timings over the current hill would be well-suited to the future as well. however, i expect that it would do badly in any case, i was just wondering how badly

22:12:36 <elliott> Or, preferably, {{qif|test={{{p|}}}|then=&p}}
22:12:44 <elliott> Then you can just do |p=1 in the template invocation.
22:12:52 <Gregor> Uhhh ... I don't think I put {{{p}}} there ...

22:14:13 <ais523> looks like I got there first
22:14:22 <elliott> ais523: you fixed it wrong, though :P

22:15:26 <elliott> That would be far, you know, saner.
22:15:35 <elliott> Then we could just do &p={{{p|sieve}}}
22:15:36 <Gregor> elliott: I could. I choose not to. To make you hurt.

22:50:51 <elliott> Debian sid is currently completely uninstallable.
22:51:04 <elliott> "linux-image-2.6-686 : Depends: linux-image-2.6.37-1-686 but it is not installable"
22:52:37 <quintopia> why do you need sid? what's it got that squeeze ain't got?
22:53:23 <pikhq_> elliott: Debian sid is always uninstallable.
22:53:25 <elliott> quintopia: *wheezy, surely.
22:53:27 -!- pikhq_ has changed nick to pikhq.
22:53:39 <elliott> pikhq: The debian-installer nightly businesscard images offer sid installation.
22:53:42 <elliott> But it's not guaranteed to ever work :P
22:53:46 <pikhq> elliott: Oh, never mind.
22:53:52 <elliott> quintopia: squeeze is the current stable release (i.e. will rapidly become a dinosaur).
22:53:59 <elliott> quintopia: wheezy is the current testing release.
22:54:04 <elliott> quintopia: I want to install sid because I'm ker-azy.
22:54:10 <pikhq> squeeze is *slightly* out-of-date as-is.
22:54:13 <elliott> And because wheezy isn't even security-team-supported right now.
22:54:16 <elliott> So it'd be a waste of time :P
22:55:08 <elliott> "Warning: Failure when configuring base packages."
22:55:17 <elliott> sid installed yesterday, but wouldn't boot :-D
22:56:16 <pikhq> Sid is probably all sorts of crazy right now.
22:56:25 <elliott> pikhq: The technical term is "fun".
22:56:39 * elliott tries linux-image-2.6.32-5-686. Specificity will set you free!
22:56:55 <elliott> Woop, seems to be working.
22:57:05 <pikhq> As they're probably putting in every single package that couldn't make it in during the Squeeze testing freeze.
22:58:07 <elliott> Happy tenth birthday, All Your Base.
22:58:58 <elliott> pikhq: The freeze model is a bit broken.
23:00:42 <pikhq> It'd make a bit more sense, IMO, to have testing as a rolling release model, fork for a stable release, and do bug fixes on that fork.
23:01:14 <elliott> Or just have a stable rolling release :P ... nah, that would be impossible with Modern Linux.
23:01:36 <elliott> Unless you're deluded enough to think that every software will support udeviceHALKit the day it comes out.

23:12:27 <Gregor> I've got a list, but then I start to run low on femdom-inspired sexual fetishes ...
23:12:51 <zzo38> Gregor: Just select words at random, then?
23:13:07 <elliott> furry_furry_exegesis_girls
23:15:21 <pikhq> Gregor: Shouldn't run out of fetishes in general, though.
23:15:42 <Gregor> The furry furry girls are dominatrixes :P
23:15:58 <Gregor> (They're not the ones in bondage, you are)
23:17:19 <elliott> Are they just furry, or furry furry?
23:17:41 <pikhq> They're furry furries.
23:20:33 <Gregor> I don't think you can comprehend how furry they are.
23:21:04 <pikhq> I was stating that they are furry (as in very, very hairy) and furry (as in the subculture).
23:22:02 <elliott> Gregor: Comment on the hairiness of the aforementioned girls?
23:22:31 <Gregor> They have a normal, human amount of hair.
23:22:42 <Gregor> Which they may or may not do less with than the average western female.
23:23:39 <pikhq> I was imagining near-apes in fursuits.
23:27:23 <elliott> Gregor: But they have reaaaaally long armpit hair, right?
23:27:35 <elliott> Like, they could fashion a cushion out of it and sit on it.
23:27:40 <elliott> That would be pretty darn furry.
23:27:42 <Gregor> pikhq: Hey, keep your fetishes to yourself.
23:27:45 <Gregor> pikhq: They've got their own.
23:27:51 <pikhq> Gregor: I never said it was my fetish.
23:28:05 <pikhq> Gregor: I simply state that furry people in fursuits would be funny.
23:28:50 <zzo38> Oops, sorry, I think I wrote it wrong by mistake
23:30:12 <zzo38> Now answer my question
23:32:44 <zzo38> Actually that isn't the question. The question is, how to figure out what other people that are interested with TeXnicard to comment/help?
23:34:55 <zzo38> And how do I fix the lights in the keyboard?
23:38:08 <quintopia> i've tried finding other people for you zzo38 but it means finding someone like you, and so no such person exists
23:39:42 <zzo38> quintopia: At least you tried. However, maybe there are people interested in these kind of things if you want to make high-quality card game... . If you cannot answer that, however, can you answer the other question about how fix the lights in the keyboard?
23:41:15 <zzo38> How am I supposed to find the people interested in this cards, by myself?
23:41:54 <quintopia> ask on forums where geeky people frequent
23:42:47 <quintopia> and if you disassemble your keyboard you can maybefigure out what's wrong and fix it
23:43:53 <Gregor> Hahah, I've upped my fail and generated 400MB :P
23:44:29 <elliott> Gregor: So if lance supports 400 meg programs...
23:46:24 <elliott> Y'know, maybe I should actually work on lance :P
23:47:53 <Gregor> No, we should set a hard instruction limit (unexpanded)
23:48:35 <elliott> Gregor: Yah, but what? I don't want to make it a hard forever rule :P
23:48:36 <Deewiant> Unexpanded 64K fits everything we have currently
23:48:41 <elliott> I think a 700K program would be fine, for instance.
23:49:00 <elliott> "Anything that can feasibly be downloaded from the Internet in 30 seconds from EgoBot", say :P
23:49:12 <quintopia> we should make a new instruction set that makes these kind of constructs more compact and set the limit on that one
23:49:12 <Gregor> Hard, /static/ limit X-P
23:49:23 <Gregor> No exponential programs.
23:49:28 <Gregor> Unrolling is a lame strategy.
23:51:11 <elliott> Gregor: We already have exponential programs with lance (which differentiates between * and %).
23:51:47 <Gregor> I'm using a rather silly definition of "exponential programs" :P
23:51:56 <Gregor> Basically I don't want you to be able to go too far just by always knowing exactly where you are.
23:52:31 <elliott> Gregor: It would be nice to have something that lets us transform [a[b[c[d]]]]x into [a[b[c[d]x]x]x]x :P
23:52:36 <elliott> (To "break out of a loop".)
23:52:42 <elliott> Sure, it's "cheating", but... a hard limit irks me.
23:52:48 <elliott> space_elevator is awesome. But not unbeatable.
23:53:00 <elliott> quintopia: I prefer things that are essentially string rewriting, but optimised :P
23:53:05 <elliott> Gregor: I don't think a hard limit will prevent any god strategies.
23:53:10 <elliott> I don't think there _are_ any unbeatable programs.
23:53:31 <Gregor> No, of course not, but things start getting totally impossible to understand once the program is just a loop-unrolled mess of nonsense.
23:53:37 <quintopia> elliott: that's what it was. a construct that implements subroutines by string rewriting
23:53:54 <elliott> Gregor: The rules aren't based on your pitiful mind's tiny capacity :P
23:54:03 <Gregor> elliott: I'm preventing MYSELF here.
23:54:06 <Gregor> elliott: I'M writing programs that do this.
23:54:15 <Gregor> elliott: I'M trying to make sure that this retard strategy doesn't work.
23:54:18 <elliott> I do think open-sourcing the generators for such program is a good thing, though.
23:54:23 <elliott> Gregor: It won't work, we'll beat it :P
23:54:48 <Gregor> They're still size-infeasible, so if they're a legit strategy then we should either have a macro system or disallow it *shrugs*
23:55:21 <elliott> Gregor: Does EgoBot refuse to download files over a certain size?
23:55:34 <Gregor> elliott: I don't recall :P
23:56:08 <elliott> Gregor: If it does, let's just rely on that... I don't like adding such things at the battle layer :P
23:56:17 <elliott> Especially since, y'know, trying programs like that locally sounds like fun.
23:56:29 <Gregor> I was talking about for the HILL, not the language.
23:56:47 <elliott> Gregor: I'm fine with a limit in !bfjoust, but I have a feeling that EgoBot already handles a sane enough limit.
23:56:54 <elliott> I don't want a limit that is treated as unexpandable :P
