04:27:34 <Gregor> Let's say you wanted to, purely for the curiosity, create a system which would remain active for the remainder of your life, capable of serving a web page (or equivalent) which simply reports its uptime, AND capable of being upgraded to meet new standards so long as the upgrades require only software changes.
04:27:40 <Gregor> How would you go about that?
04:28:20 <Gregor> Note that it doesn't need to be Internet- or otherwise network-accessible at all times, as that's probably wildly out of your control, but you should strive to make it so most of the time.
04:30:15 <pikhq> I would design it using a microcontroller that is likely never ever going to cease use.
04:30:22 <pikhq> Say, a z80.
04:31:19 <Gregor> Does that matter? The Z80 isn't more /stable/ than, say, a commodity x86, and you can never replace the processor anyway.
04:31:29 <Gregor> By "remain active for the remainder of your life" I mean 100% uptime.
04:31:45 <Gregor> (Maybe I didn't make that clear :P )
04:32:49 <pikhq> Oh. In that case I'd fucking hand-design something with wire wrapping.
04:33:00 <Gregor> Uhh, good luck upgrading that software.
04:33:15 <Gregor> Oh, unless you're taking advantage of a loophole in my description and putting everything in hardware :P
04:33:22 <Gregor> "Nothing requires software changes, therefore win"
04:33:40 <pikhq> Who said anything about software? :)
04:34:04 <Gregor> "AND capable of being upgraded to meet new standards so long as the upgrades require only software changes." // I did :P
04:35:30 <pikhq> Anyways, I never *said* it couldn't be an actual CPU.
04:35:49 <pikhq> It'
04:35:57 <Gregor> Yeah, but if it is then that just leads back to "<Gregor> Uhh, good luck upgrading that software."
04:36:17 <pikhq> I don't see why it would be difficult.
04:36:49 <invariable> Gregor: for your logging bot: make sure it doesn't join an auto-kline channel
04:37:16 <Gregor> invariable: It can only join a channel due either to an /invite or a glogbot-op request.
04:37:29 <pikhq> It's just that wire-wrapping together digital circuitry will result in *exceptionally* reliable system.
04:37:32 <invariable> Gregor: k cool
04:38:18 <invariable> https://twitter.com/SecureTips --> is pure win.
04:38:19 <invariable> And yes I've said this here before :-p
04:38:47 <pikhq> And if you also make the memory be, say, magnetic core, it should survive just about everything but someone actually bombing it.
04:41:12 <Gregor> What's your reliable power source?
04:42:25 <pikhq> Though I doubt I, personally, would be able to find one easily, if I could, I'd get an RTG.
04:43:11 <invariable> Gregor: if I neeeded 100% uptime I'd go for redundancy over reliability
04:44:44 <Gregor> Redundancy IS reliability when all redundant sources are taken as a whole.
04:45:28 <invariable> Gregor: I meant: I'd go for a larger number of more fallible parts opposed to more expensive/fewer less fallible parts
04:45:46 <invariable> ie - spend time making more of them work than making those that work work better
04:46:06 <Gregor> Mmmmm, so you're making a cluster.
04:46:17 <Gregor> (Or something broadly in that family)
04:46:34 <invariable> Gregor: yes.
04:46:56 <pikhq> Soooo... Make a hard-to-notice botnet that does Trusting Trust on pretty much all future computer and OS designs. >:D
04:47:09 <Gregor> X-D
04:47:10 <pikhq> The Internet shall be my cluster!
04:47:48 <Gregor> Also ANYBODY WHO HASN'T DONATED TO THE LIBC.SO FUND BY SUNDAY SHALL BE DECLARED A TRAITOR
04:47:54 <Gregor> TRAITORRRRRRRR
04:48:12 <invariable> pikhq: Trusting Trust can be beaten
04:48:15 <Gregor> (This means that almost the entire population of the Earth will be traitors as of Sunday)
04:48:30 <pikhq> invariable: Yes, but it's pretty hard to.
04:48:42 <invariable> pikhq: so is the trusting trust attack :-p
04:49:03 <pikhq> invariable: Oh, I've already proposed a fucking universal botnet.
04:49:17 <pikhq> invariable: It's not like this is all that *practical*. :)
04:49:45 <invariable> pikhq: *cough*SETI*cough*
04:49:50 <Gregor> invariable: btw, since when are there instant-kline channels ...
04:50:21 <pikhq> *Ooooh*.
04:50:22 <invariable> Gregor: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#klineannoyinguser
04:52:13 <Gregor> ... wow.
04:53:38 <Gregor> I can only assume that the auto-kline channels do not, in fact, exist, so even if Freenode didn't have an only-ops-can-invite default AND allowed people to invite others to join channels they're not on, /invite wouldn't work

05:39:13 <wittykitty> And how are you
05:39:25 <pikhq> Doing rather well this evening.
05:39:40 -!- poiuy_qwert has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
05:39:59 <coppro> I have discovered the problem with modern image compression
05:40:04 <pikhq> coppro: Oh?
05:40:14 <coppro> naive compression does it row-by-row
05:40:27 <coppro> advanced algorithms might do more at once, but are fundamentally row-based
05:40:37 <pikhq> Not entirely true.
05:40:41 <coppro> this makes it impossible to compress infinite images properly
05:40:52 <coppro> only a diagonal algorithm can compress an infinite image
05:41:01 <pikhq> The typical lossy image compression scheme is actually submatrix by submatrix.
05:41:18 -!- poiuy_qwert has joined.
05:41:47 <coppro> but how are those submatrices ordered?
05:42:08 <coppro> see?
05:42:15 <coppro> no way you'll compress an infinite image like that
05:42:39 <pikhq> There's no real reason that they need to have a particular order; they're handled entirely independently of every other submatrix.
05:42:54 <pikhq> At least until you get into more advanced techniques.
05:43:34 <coppro> hence the problem with image processing today
05:43:45 <coppro> I rest my case
05:44:12 <pikhq> And hypothetically you *could* just treat the entire image as a single matrix and perform the DCT on *that*...
05:44:29 <pikhq> Though that involves an infinite number of infinite summations.
05:44:32 <pikhq> *shudder*
05:45:17 <pikhq> And then multiplying it by another infinite matrix for the sake of quantising it.
05:45:20 <pikhq> *double-shudder*
05:50:06 <pikhq> Though after all *that*, it's a simple matter to output the infinite matrix into an infinite bitstream.

13:29:52 <oerjan> FINE, IGNORE MY EVIL PLOT TO ENSNARE YOU IN TVTROPES THEN
13:30:50 * oerjan does not picture ais523 as a person to set fire to recycling bins. but maybe that's just due to overdosing on cartoons.
13:31:01 <ais523> oerjan: I never have done
13:31:16 <ais523> the recycling bins near my house have been repeatedly set on fire, but on no occasion was it me who did so
13:31:40 <ais523> besides, I have a complex strategy to avoid getting ensnared in TV Tropes
13:31:53 <oerjan> at least, no one saw you, and they certainly cannot prove it.
13:31:57 <ais523> although at work, I abandon it in favour of the much simpler strategy of never visiting it at all
13:32:03 <fizzie> There's a local maximum of the being-set-on-fire density function for recycling bins that coincides with your house, but I'm sure it's really just a coincidence.
13:32:22 <ais523> fizzie: but that's because the recycling bins are near my house!
13:32:30 <oerjan> excuses, excuses
13:32:30 <ais523> not because I'm there!
13:32:54 <ais523> some people wanted to build a mobile phone mast near my house, but they changed their minds because they thought it would just be repeatedly destroyed by vandals
13:33:04 -!- hagb4rd has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
13:33:12 <fizzie> That shouldn't affect the being-set-on-fire density for recycling bins, just the overall recycling-bins-that-are-set-on-fire density.
13:33:30 <ais523> well, vandalism's quite high where I live
13:33:37 <ais523> or used to be, before the place started swarming with police
13:33:39 <oerjan> listen to fizzie, he's our official statistician
13:34:02 <fizzie> A reasonably non-vandalizable mobile phone mast sounds doable. (Barring especially dedicated vandals, anyway.)
13:34:21 <ais523> the harder you make something to vandalise, the more dedicated the vandals get
13:35:20 <oerjan> just turn up the signal level until the vandals cannot survive getting near it.
13:35:48 <fizzie> There's this 1:10^9 scale model of the solar system in Helsinki; the Earth/Moon model used to be a regular target for vandalism, so often that they had to reimplement it like this: http://www.ursa.fi/ursa/aurinkokuntamalli/eng/earth-en.html
13:36:06 <fizzie> I think there used to be a thin metal rod for the Moon.
13:36:39 <ais523> what a bizarre thing to vandalise
13:36:59 <fizzie> And the Earth is just a hole; if you click on the "Mars" link you can see the others are spheres.

16:39:06 <cpressey> @tell Deewiant I contend that "form feed reflects" is not a BAD for Befunge. FF only has a meaning in a Trefunge source file.
16:39:06 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
16:39:41 <Deewiant> cpressey: What of the way line breaks are treated in Unefunge?
16:39:41 <lambdabot> Deewiant: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
16:40:34 <cpressey> Not sure I follow. Can you explain that?
16:40:52 <Deewiant> "Subsequent lines in Unefunge are simply appended to the first, and the end of the source file indicates the end of the (single) line. End-of-line markers are never copied into Funge-Space."
16:40:56 <Deewiant> -- spec
16:41:41 <cpressey> Sounds like a special case for Unefunge to me.
16:41:56 <cpressey> And FF is not an end-of-line marker :)
16:42:21 <Deewiant> Seems to me that FF in Befunge is analogous to CR/NL/CRNL in Unefunge
16:43:08 <cpressey> That's entirely possible
16:43:21 <Deewiant> Newline: increase Y, set X = 0
16:43:26 <Deewiant> FF: increase Z, set X = Y = 0
16:43:39 <Deewiant> Newline when Y doesn't exist: do nothing
16:43:47 <Deewiant> FF when Z doesn't exist: ?? (my interpretation: do nothing)
16:45:05 <cpressey> OK. Well, I have FBBI down to 11 BADs (I thought it was 6 but then I realized you can't just grep for BAD in Mycology's output for some reason.) I don't know how many of these I plan to try to fix.
16:45:42 <Deewiant> Some test failures prevent other tests from running, which is why you can get more after fixing something.
16:47:28 <cpressey> No, I mean it's really that "fbbi mycology.b98 | grep BAD" really doesn't return all the lines that have BAD on them. If I pipe the output into less, I see that some characters are highlighted. Is there some weird ANSI escape sequence thing going on in the output?
16:48:19 <Deewiant> From my old Mycology results page:
16:48:21 <Deewiant> FBBI’s help text describes a flag -fast with the words “more speed, at the cost of locking up in infinite loops”. Interestingly, all it does is that it prevents the output of the string " \b" whenever the IP moves. I’m told that this harks back to the days of DOS, wherein one could only interrupt a program when it did a system call, or some such. That would certainly explain the description.
16:48:27 <Deewiant> The problem with it is that FBBI prints that even if the output is redirected to a file, which results in tonnes of binary interspersed with all the normal output. Hence, I recommend always running with -f passed—if you must use FBBI.
16:49:11 <cpressey> oh dear lord. ok
16:49:33 <Deewiant> Your code, not mine. :-)
16:51:02 <cpressey> But wait, re your FF argument: if FF is analogous to NL, then it shouldn't even be loaded into the source (unless binary I/O is in effect -- in which case it should be loaded, and it should be considered unimplemented because it is outside 32-127.)
16:53:23 <Deewiant> Yes, it shouldn't be loaded, that's correct.

16:55:22 <cpressey> I'll probably release a new version of FBBI soon-ish, but it'll probably still have a handful of BADs.

16:55:38 <cpressey> Later :)

20:28:48 <pumpkin> Sony was understandably not happy, and is accusing him of tampering with evidence
20:29:34 <cheater00> lol
20:29:55 <cheater00> he should have sent them his hard drives, except only readable by a special driver that swaps the bits in some fucked up way.
20:30:31 <cheater00> OR: send them his hard drives, except submerged in resin to protect the electronics inside!
20:31:00 <fizzie> Can I have a citation on this controller board thing? (And anyway, weren't those sent to a third party, not Sony at all?)
20:35:19 <fizzie> I think the funniest SCEA/Hotz thing I've read was when one of Sony's filed subpoenas to Paypal said just "1. PayPal, Inc. is directed to furnish all documents, including electronically stored information, in its possession, custody or control.", period, without specifying anything else.

21:50:44 <fizzie> Now that I look back what courses I took during the M.Sc degree, it's quite an incoherent collection.
21:51:48 <Phantom_Hoover> MSc in what?
21:52:50 <fizzie> I don't know which one thing corresponds to the "what" in your parlance. We have the general study line, an "option", the major, and a set of minors.
21:54:10 <Phantom_Hoover> I'm assuming it was in computering.
21:55:01 <fizzie> The "study program" was 'tietotekniikka', which I guess converts to "Computer Science and/or Engineering". (They're grouped together under the same roof here.)
21:55:58 <Zwaarddijk> are you a diplom engineer or a magister of philosophy?
21:56:25 <fizzie> Zwaarddijk: DI; just managed to graduate from TKK mere moments before it became Aalto.
21:56:34 <Zwaarddijk> (MSc seems to be a bit ambiguous between those)
21:57:11 <fizzie> (Here "mere moments" == four months or so.)
21:59:39 <fizzie> But (probably due to hysterical raisins) the path to a computer sciencey person includes some rather odd things, like courses on basic electronics. (Or at least did; maybe the study program revampings have made the contents more logical too.)
22:02:10 <fizzie> And an inexplicable physics labwork course, though I don't know how mandatory that was. Maybe it was this "with extra science" option I somehow ended up with, which included supersized maths and physics compared to the regular CSE study program contents.
