00:00:04 <itidus21> the hickies made up for it though
00:00:15 <Phantom_Hoover> I looked back and I see itidus21 talking about raspberry fart noises.
00:00:25 <oklopol> made up for what and in what sense_
00:00:34 <itidus21> for how horrible everything else was
00:00:51 <oklopol> Phantom_Hoover: during sex with the 12 yo sister of his friend who he has threesomes with.
00:01:18 <oklopol> itidus21: did everyone think you were cool?
00:01:36 <oklopol> Phantom_Hoover: sister of his friend
00:01:47 <oklopol> last one i dunno, might be a different friend.
00:02:25 -!- pikhq has joined.
00:02:29 <oklopol> hey i'm still all like wow itidus21 is not a virgin
00:02:44 <kmc> i'm just waiting for zzo to chime in
00:03:05 <oklopol> i mean why does he keep complaining, he has achieved all the meaningful goals in human existence.
00:03:40 <itidus21> what color condoms do you think are best?
00:03:53 <itidus21> do you prefer unprotected sex?
00:04:05 <oklopol> i prefer testing + regular partner
00:04:20 <itidus21> i was guessing what zzo might say
00:04:50 <oklopol> otherwise, transparent. but condoms are horrible deathtraps.
00:04:56 <kmc> how's that
00:05:03 <oklopol> i'm guessing what zzo would answer if this was an alternate universe where he has sex
00:05:23 <kmc> zzo would use some super obscure kind of birth control
00:05:32 <kmc> the gopher:// of birth control
00:05:40 -!- pikhq_ has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
00:05:48 <kmc> the first time i tried to use one i got it on inside out and it was super uncomfortable and awkward
00:05:51 <itidus21> have you been to santasporngirls.com?
00:06:07 <itidus21> what do you think about using the name santa in a porn website title?
00:06:34 <kmc> i think that there are so many websites like that
00:06:35 <oerjan> just the right thing for a very merry christmas
00:06:38 <kmc> they need to pick some odd names
00:06:42 <oklopol> well sex is about giving. wait let's drop this metaphor.
00:06:48 <itidus21> again trying to guess what he might say
00:06:49 <oklopol> i realized who you give to.
00:06:55 <itidus21> but.. i don't mean any offence by it
00:06:57 <kmc> i'm pretty picky about condoms too, but i found a brand which fits well
00:07:04 <Phantom_Hoover> itidus21, you've turned the topic of discussion to santaporn.
00:07:54 <oerjan> now meditate on the design of condoms using category theory
00:08:25 <itidus21> begin with a sheep's intestines
00:08:28 <oklopol> i've tried quite a few, but it gets boring to first hurt like hell for 10 minutes and then lose your erection.
00:08:43 <itidus21> right lads, we're onto something
00:09:52 <oklopol> is that a surjectivity joke
00:10:56 <Phantom_Hoover> Although oerjan's pun works on a semantic as well as a syntactic basis so I can't really match that.
00:11:08 <oklopol> there must be a lot of puns with epic, no?
00:12:06 <oerjan> yeah they are universal
00:12:12 <oklopol> oerjan's was pretty incredible, but i assume it was not completely original as it is such perfection
00:12:37 <oerjan> D: am i being accused of plagiarism
00:13:21 <itidus21> its better than being accused of being unfunny
00:13:36 <kmc> gotta sleep now
00:13:42 <kmc> good luck with all your various threesomes
00:13:59 <oklopol> thanks, we'll totally need that
00:15:30 <oklopol> in any case i'm sure it was the best use of epic ever
00:15:51 <oklopol> actually that's such a great exchange i'm going to write a play about it
00:16:26 <itidus21> so this is what happens when there isn't a topic
00:16:39 <oklopol> we might be onto something - epic story about surjectivity
00:17:05 <oklopol> it's about a guy who has sex with his friend and his gf
00:17:19 <oklopol> and a guy who's really into puns and hates clicking
00:18:23 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: you're the traumatized bystander
00:19:04 <oerjan> ...MAYBE not the best analogy.
00:19:16 <oklopol> >_< is a pretty aggressive smiley
00:19:25 <oklopol> <_> is like okay do whatever you want to me
00:20:27 <itidus21> you shouldn't let him decide what words mean
00:26:22 <oklopol> okay i'm going to sleep bye.

17:29:07 <oklopol> or have been finding it entertaining so far at least
17:29:58 <oklopol> why aren't gif animations called videos?
17:30:50 <oklopol> i don't understand the difference
17:33:29 <oklopol> i would understand gif video so that the reader knows it's probably a particularly sucky video
17:38:33 <itidus21> a video has more than one patent per compression scheme
17:39:09 <oklopol> that would be a pretty stupid definition though
17:39:21 <itidus21> in saying this i don't know if gif had multiple patents or not
17:40:29 <Gregor> gif no longer has any standing patents.
17:40:47 <oklopol> Gregor: do you have a serious answer to my question?
17:41:01 <oklopol> this is very important, it has been bugging me for at least 5 minutes.
17:41:21 <Gregor> “<Gregor> oklopol: I don't hate it.” is my answer.
17:41:43 -!- Gregor has changed nick to MeatyBelle.
17:42:12 <itidus21> im tempted to find out the answer now
17:42:13 <MeatyBelle> Because at some point, somebody decreed that they were called videos.
17:42:59 <oklopol> i can't live in a world where occasionally, things don't make perfect sense but just kind of do.
17:43:27 <itidus21> theres probably a reasonable answer. but its too cold and late to find out
17:44:23 <oklopol> I DON'T UNDERSTAND ARAGHRHGAREHGJAHGJLKRHGASJKDHFSN
17:45:07 <itidus21> so to recap, it's graphics interchange format, unlike the other formats which are not intended to be interchanged
17:46:02 <mroman> oklopol: Well, that's easy.
17:48:52 <pikhq> itidus21: There were multiple patents on the LZW compression algorithm.
17:49:39 <oklopol> does gif do any compression beyond compressing the individual images?
17:49:54 <fizzie> oklopol: The video frames need not be full-frame, that's a form of compression.
17:50:04 <kallisti> True love is like infinite mutual recursion. Unconditional.
17:50:14 <fizzie> oklopol: You can have a mostly empty frame that gets pasted on top of the previous.
17:50:19 * kallisti adds to list of corny things to say to future wife.
17:50:33 <oklopol> isn't that also a big part of avi's compression
17:50:48 <oklopol> + the fourier stuff i guess
17:50:53 <fizzie> oklopol: "AVI" is just a container, so that question doesn't have an answer.
17:51:36 <fizzie> Anyway, "real" video formats do "that kinda thing" too. And stuff like motion compensation, so you can even keep things from moving objects.
17:54:53 <itidus21> what i have learned is that the most complex element of an image is the underlying 2d bitmap
17:55:12 <pikhq> oklopol: Which format? The Moving Picture Experts Group does lots of formats. :)
17:55:24 <oklopol> by the underlying 2d bitmap of an image, do you mean the image?
17:55:59 <itidus21> i don't know what i mean... i guess that in vector graphics you don't need a bitmap at all
17:56:30 <itidus21> eg.. a mechanical monitor could have a balloon device which fills with a certain amount of air to render a sphere
17:56:46 <MeatyBelle> MPEG-1 part 2, MPEG-2 part 2, MPEG-4 part 2, MPEG4 H.263, MPEG4 H.264 off the top of my head.
17:57:55 <oklopol> i'm referring to one of those or something else.
17:58:06 <itidus21> by mechanical monitor i mean a more generalized attempt at creating an image by using material components
17:58:44 <itidus21> in other words a hollow tv without any glass perhaps with a man hiding behind the curtain
17:59:05 <itidus21> ..... im just gonna let that go
17:59:41 <oklopol> no no i think you're epic with something as your codomain.
18:02:06 <oklopol> i think for each in something there's something in you that has it as its image.
18:02:56 <oklopol> wait that's wrong, since you're the mapping
18:03:05 <fizzie> oklopol: MPEG frames may also depend not only on the previous frame, but the next frame too. (You have some completely individually compressed I-frames here and there; some P-frames that are stored as the diff from the previous (P- or I-)frame after applying motion vectors; and some B-frames which can use both the previous and next (P- or I-)frame as anchors.)
18:03:42 <oklopol> I THINK THAT IF SOMETHING WERE A FULL SHIFT AND YOU WERE A CONTINUOUS SHIFT-COMMUTING FUNCTION THEN THERE WOULD NOT EXIST TWO LEFT- AND RIGHT-ASYMPTOTIC POINTS x AND y SUCH THAT YOU'RE NONINJECTIVE ON THE CARDINALITY 2 SET THEY DEFINE
18:07:04 <oklopol> i think if you were a function on reals such that for each open interval I and point mapping to it there were both a left- and right-open interval around x which which mapped inside I then there would be a preimage for all primes which have 7 digits or more and their negations
18:09:29 <oklopol> why doesn't anyone ever join my math parties :(
18:10:04 <oklopol> i think you're all about surjectivity jokes when i'm not here but when i come it's like shhhhhh let's talk about kernels and shit hahaha
18:10:23 <oklopol> you're mean and i need to go to the shoppe to buy something to live about.
18:11:32 <fizzie> You, uh, know there are public logs that you could use to verify your conspiracy theory?
18:11:50 <oklopol> fizzie: i think i've read about those on an operating systems course.
18:11:53 <MeatyBelle> Unless they're part of the conspiracy.
18:13:08 <oklopol> i think you filter them by ip, when i was looking at them in russia i'm pretty sure i saw some surjectivity jokes, but magically there's none now.
18:15:27 <oklopol> what's the name of the concept in measure theory where you have a result that holds for almost all and you prove the same thing for all? i guess this is mostly for oerjan.
18:16:02 <itidus21> and spun off in some mad direction
18:16:31 <oklopol> i don't think you were wrong
18:17:06 <oklopol> INSTEAD I THINK IF YOU WERE AN argh shoppe tyme

18:27:39 <soundnfury> umm, what on earth is oklopol on about?
18:28:31 <soundnfury> it'd be a lot more comprehensible if he used some notation
18:29:46 <oklopol> so take X = S^Z where S is a finite set with the discrete topology, Z is the integers, and S^Z has the product topology
18:30:05 <oklopol> and let's assume itidus21 is a function from this space to itself with two properties
18:30:13 <soundnfury> um, how can you have a product topology on a power set?
18:31:38 <soundnfury> um, isn't that product topology also discrete?
18:31:53 <oklopol> whatever you like to call it, in any case the topology with base "the coordinates n_1, ..., n_k have the symbols s_1, ..., s_k \in S" is a base
18:32:02 <oklopol> it's not! in fact it is perfect
18:32:32 <oklopol> that is, for any point x in there you will find points arbitrarily close (in any open set U around x, you find a point other than x)
18:33:23 <oklopol> this is because an open set is a superset of some finite intersection V of sets of the base, and each such set V contains uncountably many points or none
18:33:36 <oklopol> because you only say something about finitely many coordinates
18:33:47 <oklopol> if x satisfies that, just change the tail however you like.
18:34:33 <oklopol> 2) let \sigma be the left shift map, that is, \sigma(x)_i = x_{i + 1}
18:34:46 <oklopol> so the ith coordinate of \sigma(x) is the i+1th coordinate of x
18:35:02 <oklopol> then, itidus commutes with \sigma
18:35:40 <oklopol> now, this kind of spoils the fun, but then itidus is just a cellular automaton.
18:36:07 <oklopol> further, we assume that if you take two points x and y with the following properties
18:36:40 <oklopol> for sufficiently large |i|, we have x_i = y_i, but x != y
18:37:19 -!- atrapado has quit (Quit: Leaving).
18:37:28 <oklopol> we call such points asymptotic (they are "asymptotically" the same both left and right)
18:37:58 <oklopol> we assume that for such points x and y, itidus will map them to distinct points
18:38:01 -!- itidus21 has left ("Leaving").
18:38:45 <oklopol> sorry, this last part, that if two points are asymptotic then they're mapped to distinct points, was not an assumption, i now realize that my point was only to claim that itidus is surjective
18:39:06 <oklopol> so i'm claiming that if itidus were a CA, then he would map two such points to distinct points.
18:39:17 <oklopol> because that's a characterization of surjectivity.
18:40:05 <oklopol> and because we defined the full shift (X) as "something" for the purpose of my claim, itidus is onto something.
18:41:45 <oklopol> sorry i forgot you were that music dude
18:41:45 <soundnfury> besides, no-one says "onto" these days, we're all Bourbakistes
18:42:10 <soundnfury> hey, I'm a mathmo, I find maths jokes funny
18:44:18 <soundnfury> now, a /funny/ onto/surjective joke would have been something much shorter, like "you have a right inverse with domain something"
18:44:40 <soundnfury> it's still a geeky maths pun, but it doesn't take much effort to get it
18:44:42 <oklopol> three out of five most recent arxiv entries use it
18:45:20 <soundnfury> oklopol: ok so actually I meant "I don't use it and I think it's shite and confusing"
18:45:35 <soundnfury> though it's really the equivalent terms for injective and bijective that are shite and confusing
18:46:05 <oklopol> one-to-one map and one-to-one correspondence
18:46:07 <soundnfury> when I hear "injective" I know exactly what it means. When I hear "one-one", fuck knows
18:46:19 <oklopol> but onto is pretty handy imo.
18:46:40 <soundnfury> "onto" is easy to miss, though, because in natural language it means something else
18:47:08 <soundnfury> if it weren't specifically defined, "a function onto X" would just mean a function with codomain X
18:47:41 <soundnfury> and hence it's possible not to notice that someone said their function was surjective
18:48:31 <oklopol> hasn't happened to me. and i make more reading errors than you can even imagine.
18:48:44 <oklopol> because onto means surjective
18:49:44 <soundnfury> Is English your native language? "Oklopol" sounds scandinavian, so I'm guessing not
18:50:27 <oklopol> "you have a right inverse with domain something" that's not funny, it isn't even a reference to a theorem
18:50:29 <soundnfury> that might be why you're able to learn technical vocabulary without problems when it conflicts with common usage
18:50:47 <soundnfury> why does it have to be a reference to a theorem?
18:51:11 <soundnfury> you know what? I've just stopped caring, because there's some more Olympics on

18:54:55 <oklopol> "soundnfury: that might be why you're able to learn technical vocabulary without problems when it conflicts with common usage" yes, that must be why the finnish version was also so easy to internalize. finns are just that much smarter i guess.
18:55:32 <soundnfury> is the finnish word for "onto" a bit longer, perhaps?
18:55:58 <oerjan> <oklopol> what's the name of the concept in measure theory where you have a result that holds for almost all and you prove the same thing for all? i guess this is mostly for oerjan.
18:56:15 <oklopol> something about rigidity i think
18:57:05 <oklopol> "<soundnfury> is the finnish word for "onto" a bit longer, perhaps?" it's the -lle suffix
18:57:49 <oerjan> the finnish don't have a word for onto, they have a case, obviously. the suffix is -atukkontiappalaansiessut/-ätykköntiäppäläänsiessyt, depending on vowel harmony.
18:57:55 <soundnfury> (is it grammatical/morphological case?)
18:58:38 <oerjan> pay no attention to oklopol's lying grammar
18:58:47 <soundnfury> what, if anything, does that suffix really mean?
18:58:55 <Taneb> Isn't Finnish the one with 20000+ verb forms?
18:58:56 <oklopol> yeah we have mostly cases. oerjan is confusing onto with the case for "having a beer with x in a bar after beating your wife".
18:59:39 <oklopol> soundnfury: -lle means onto something
19:00:08 <oklopol> well often you use just on when we use -lle, it's very common.
19:00:09 <soundnfury> no, I wanted to know what oerjan's atukkontiablablablallantysiliogogogoch meant

19:08:17 <oerjan> 1987, says http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98stkantfolk
19:09:39 <Taneb> "stkantfolk" sounds a lot more awesome than Eastenders.
19:09:55 <oklopol> it says it started broadcasting in finland after 206 seasons.
19:10:04 <Taneb> How's pronounced, again?
19:11:05 <oklopol> basically the "a" in "a silly norwegian letter"
19:11:43 <oerjan> no:Østkantfolk ~ en:East side people
19:12:27 <oerjan> Østkanten is a concept in the norwegian capital Oslo, it's the poorer part with traditionally the industry
19:13:21 <oerjan> i believe this is the same in many cities around the world, because of prevalence of west-east winds and the fact rich people don't like to breathe smog.
19:13:44 <Taneb> Yeah, it's even the case in Hexham :(
19:13:51 <Taneb> (I'm in the east end

19:15:13 <oerjan> i recently saw a chart of amphetamine use in european cities, i remember the top 3 were Helsinki, Turku and Oslo
19:15:26 <oerjan> not quite sure of the order of the first two
19:15:41 <Taneb> Ahead of Amsterdam, Birmingham, and Glasgow?
19:16:27 <oerjan> oh this was a chart based on analyzing the sewers and dividing by population
19:17:16 <oerjan> it confused me a bit because the newspaper article then went on to say Oslo was top in Europe
19:17:32 <Taneb> Maybe they thought Finland was in South America?
19:18:48 <oerjan> it is not entirely unlikely they didn't check every city
19:19:15 <oklopol> i know a girl 700 up north who's tried it, but i have never even heard of amphetamine use in turku outside statistics
19:19:44 <oklopol> so how much is much exactly?

21:31:52 <Taneb> mroman, short, lazy vowel sound
21:31:58 <Taneb> oerjan, where it is a verb :(
21:32:20 <mroman> So it's not pronounce englishly?
21:32:36 <coppro> mroman: schwa is the name of the sound

21:32:47 <oerjan> this sathan guy is so sensitive to spelling

21:50:22 <MeatyBelle> <oerjan> it seems a little under construction. // I have no intention of actually making it.
21:50:29 <Taneb> A* in maths, further maths, B-A in Latin, Ancient History
21:50:29 <oklopol> i had horrible grades in secondary school

21:53:17 <MeatyBelle> oerjan: I was referring to http://solidcolorpants.com/ by the way, what with pants.
21:53:21 <oklopol> yeah, too many smart people.
21:53:31 <oklopol> they should teach worse instead.
21:53:39 <coppro> they should just grade harder
21:53:48 <coppro> odds are good the system has gotten easy over the years
21:53:52 <coppro> change the failing grade if you have to
21:54:04 <coppro> but the range of available grades should still be representative
21:58:13 <oklopol> my math average was at most B in secondary school, perhaps closer to C
21:59:01 <Taneb> I had to stop myself saying "eh" instead of "hmm". But the "eh" wasn't meant to be making fun of Canadians or playing on the stereotypes?
21:59:09 <Taneb> I'm sure it's a different eh
21:59:35 <oerjan> just a stray schwa, probably
21:59:47 <Taneb> Nah, this has more stress on it
