00:26:36 <oerjan> (danish may contain errors)
00:27:23 <kmc> most of those triplets are so close, why bother?
00:27:40 <oerjan> precisely! sometimes they don't.
00:27:40 <Gregor> They're all just English with a funny accent, why bother?
00:27:55 <kmc> it seems like reading NO if you know SE should be no harder than reading EN youtube comments if you know non-idiot EN
00:27:59 <hagb4rd> kmc: mostly because they are so close ;)
00:28:19 <kmc> they should just take the coolest looking word from each triplet
00:28:31 <kmc> are there any amusing false cognates between these languages?
00:28:34 <shachaf> kmc: You're just not watching the right videos.
00:28:49 <fizzie> Sometimes it seems they bother with och/og but not when it comes to long words.
00:29:39 <oerjan> kmc: no:pule = en:fuck, sv:pula = en: er, does anyone know a word for that...
00:29:53 <fizzie> "Dit hår er skadet og slidt/slitt/slitet", starts this "DK/N/S" shampoo bottle.
00:30:20 <oerjan> fizzie: "Dit" is wrong for norwegian :P
00:30:31 <oerjan> "og" is wrong for swedish.
00:30:51 <oerjan> "er" also wrong for swedish, i think
00:30:55 <fizzie> "Det har mistet/förlorat sit naturlige cement, som giver/ger håret styrke og smidighed."
00:31:04 <fizzie> Yes, it's all kind of lazy.
00:31:40 <fizzie> "Hårets overflade/yta bliver glat/slät og glansfuld."
00:32:29 <kmc> they should print one language in red and the other in blue and then everyone in school gets a bit of cellophane of the appropriate color
00:32:41 <fizzie> "Fordel shampooen i fugtigt hår, massér/massera, og skyl ud/skölj ur."
00:32:52 <oerjan> kmc: also NO and DK are closer to read than SE, usually. while DK is far away in pronunciation...
00:33:28 <FireFly> kmc: reading NO is probably easier tahn reading three languages intertwined
00:33:43 <kmc> interesting
00:33:48 <hagb4rd> isn't it symptomatic for similar cultures (neighbours devided by some historical reasons for example) that they often look for its own identity by cultivating these small differences? dunno, but these phenomena are found not only on national but almost every level ..
00:34:20 <kmc> also isn't norwegian actually two languages
00:34:46 <oerjan> hagb4rd: see: serbian, bosnian and croation, which afaiu are even closer than the scandinavian languages
00:34:54 <hagb4rd> regions, districts,..yes.. even lovers shit
00:34:55 <FireFly> I think there's two written forms but only one spoken?
00:35:18 <kmc> "Serbo-Croatian is the only European language with active digraphia, using both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Bosnian and Serbian varieties use both alphabets while the Croatian variety uses only the Latin alphabet"
00:35:22 <oerjan> kmc: no one bothers with including nynorsk in these multiple translations :P
00:35:41 <FireFly> Nynorsk is the one that's closer to old norse, right?
00:35:58 <oerjan> slightly closer, perhaps.

01:19:01 <ion> Too bad some of the people won’t understand just how horrible that translation of “preconfiguring packages” is.
01:19:20 <ion> Finnish translations of UIs tend to be abhorrent.
01:19:30 <kmc> how can it be horrible when it contains five ä's?
01:19:51 <kmc> what would you say the meaning of that phrase is in english?
01:20:07 <hagb4rd> it's almost impossible to unify the layout isn't it?
01:20:52 <hagb4rd> experienced the same problem while trying to create unified reports for 16 languages
01:20:59 <ion> “Pretailoring packages” would be the direct translation, but that loses the badness of the phrase in Finnish again.
01:26:10 <kmc> codepage 1252 strikes again!
01:26:10 <hagb4rd> i still wonder how finnish could develop in such a uniqe way.. are they any natural borders to the neighbours? oceans? mountains? trolls?

01:27:36 <hagb4rd> must admit i do not know much about the finnish history
01:28:00 <kmc> it is kind of related to hungarian and estonian right
01:28:06 <kmc> hungarian is crazier though
01:28:32 -!- TeruFSX has joined.
01:28:36 <kmc> maybe it's just seeing it next to swedish everywhere, but finnish seems to be closer to its neighbors
01:29:22 <kmc> in my unscientific opinion yes
01:30:06 <kmc> swedish is a germanic language, so not entirely alien to me as an english speaker
01:30:16 <kmc> and the finnish words on signs seemed to be reasonably close to the swedish words much of the time
01:30:30 <kmc> whereas in hungary it seemed as though somebody has written total gibberish on everything
01:30:52 <ion> I think Hungarian and Finnish have split a very long time ago, there’s nothing recognizable in the other to a novice that knows one of them. OTOH, Estonian sounds very similar to Finnish (although you generally can’t understand the words).
01:32:11 <hagb4rd> yes, studying the history would be a good point to start i guess

01:38:48 <Gregor> JUST to make you stop complaining.
01:39:25 <elliott> Gregor: I'm not going to stop complaining
01:42:07 <elliott> Gregor: should I optimise UMLBox
01:42:24 <elliott> "If a user accomplishes a root escalation from within a UMLBox jail, they escalate only to the privileges of the user who ran umlbox, not true root."
01:42:32 <elliott> I like the idea that this would stop someone who *already has a root escalation exploit*
01:42:39 <elliott> (OK, you could have setuid programs inside the jail)
01:42:47 <Gregor> Yeah, it depends on how the exploit is done.
01:43:01 <Gregor> If they're different versions of Linux, or depend on being able to modify something they can't on the host, or...
01:43:17 <Gregor> There's lots of reasons why an exploit might not work.
01:43:27 <elliott> Gregor: How fast is the mudem stuff

01:48:48 -!- nooga has joined.
01:48:57 <Gregor> I know that google perftools just barfs all over the place :)
01:50:45 <elliott> well oprofile is fancy and kernel-level
01:50:49 <elliott> I don't know how it works though
01:50:59 <elliott> what if you reduced the nice to something less than -n10, would that help at all
01:51:02 <elliott> I guess it would be sort of bad
01:52:03 <Gregor> It's not like I have other shit running at some other nice level.
01:53:57 <Gregor> hg status is almost instantaneous.
01:54:03 <Gregor> umlbox takes almost a second.
01:54:26 <elliott> I think UMLBox is pretty inherently slow
01:54:44 <elliott> Gregor: What if you did a trick to keep the same UMLBox running as long as hg status says nothing has changed?
01:54:48 <elliott> should be semantically equivalent
01:55:12 <Gregor> It's a nice theory, but the whole stack is just SO not configured to do that >_>
01:55:29 <elliott> UMLBox forwards stdin, right?
01:56:11 <Gregor> 'course then there's an issue of "how much of this output is my output"
01:56:12 <elliott> So you just need to run while read; do timelimit ...; done
01:56:31 <elliott> Gregor: have it forward an extra fd that you just echo "done" to or such
01:56:49 <Gregor> I send a command, it has no output. How do I know when it's done?
01:57:01 <Gregor> I send a command, it has 30MB of output. How do I know when it's done?
01:57:28 <elliott> Right, you need to echo "done" to another channel... in fact you can just use stderr, assuming UMLBox forwards that separately
01:57:32 <elliott> (and 2>&1 the commands themselves)
01:57:39 <Gregor> Echoing to another channel is a terrible idea.
01:57:44 <Gregor> Synchronicity problems.
01:58:04 <elliott> Gregor: OK: buffer the output inside the loop, once all the output is written, write the length of the output to the additional channel.
01:58:18 <elliott> The reading code sends the stuff to run, reads a length from the side-channel, reads those bytes.
01:58:52 <elliott> Whenever a write happens, you kill the whole thing and run stuff separately
01:59:37 <elliott> (Note that this means that if you run two writers and a reader at once, the reader may experience inconsistent state (because the two overwriters overwrite each other))
01:59:56 <elliott> (You'd have to make sure the reader's output isn't sent before rerunning stuff, but that's just basic transactionality anyway)
02:00:04 <elliott> Sounds easier than rearchitecturing anything at least
02:00:14 <Gregor> It is rearchitecting X-D
02:00:29 <elliott> Probably less so than whatever you were thinking of :P
02:00:33 <elliott> It'd be super-mega-fast, anyway
02:00:40 <kmc> bug reported
02:01:54 <kmc> bad character encoding on http://idlewords.com/2011/08/why_arabic_is_terrific.htm
02:02:20 <kmc> take UTF-8 and interpret each byte as a character in Windows-1252 and then encode to UTF-8 again and that's what you get
02:02:31 <Gregor> I also think that rerunning commands is probably a waste of time more often than not. I could send the original output eagerly, then resend iff it's different.
02:02:48 <pikhq> kmc: How do you fuck up like that?
02:02:57 <Gregor> That waiting for output from rerunning is a waste of time.
02:03:04 <elliott> That would be completely awful
02:03:04 <Gregor> Lemme put it differently: I should output before even checking.
02:03:27 <elliott> How about go for the 90% speed increase you get from not rerunning UMLBox and forget about an abomination like that :P
02:03:53 <elliott> Maybe I'll write it to not rerun UMLBox if I can get HackEgo working here
02:04:10 <Gregor> elliott: At this point it should be near-trivial to get HackEgo running...
02:04:18 <elliott> I think that is what you said last time too
02:04:48 <Gregor> Build multibot, install socat, edit runner.sh to your needs, ./runner.sh

02:06:22 <elliott> Gregor: I didn't try, just you forgot "Get UMLBox working" for one
02:07:11 <Gregor> Getting UMLBox working: Check out, extract Linux to a subdir, if your Linux version is different then the one in Makefile then change it or provide it as a make argument, make and make install.
02:07:15 <pikhq> Gregor: yaru nn sìȳa 'te! tèmo, kotae musùkasii no.
02:07:49 <elliott> Gregor: You should have some script to automate checking out and compiling everything :P

02:08:12 <kmc> pikhq: probably by opening it in an editor which is configured to auto-detect encoding but save as utf-8
02:08:16 <kmc> and which auto detects wrongly
02:08:17 <Gregor> elliott: HackBot isn't really designed to be rerun ;)
02:08:22 <kmc> i don't really know
02:08:29 <kmc> i think of this as something that happens on windows ;P
02:08:29 <elliott> Gregor: "At this point it should be near-trivial to get HackEgo running..." :P
02:08:36 <pikhq> kmc: Implementing auto-detect like that takes some real doing.
02:08:42 <shachaf> kmc: I've seen that post before with its encoding not messed up.
02:08:44 <Gregor> Oh come on, it has THREE dependencies.
02:08:49 <kmc> shachaf: yes, me too
02:08:54 <Gregor> And all three of them are listed in its description!
02:08:58 <pikhq> Given that the easy way to detect UTF-8 is to check if it's valid UTF-8.
02:09:02 <elliott> Gregor: Also you forgot the part where I replicate HackEgo's filesystem to have test scripts.
02:09:06 <pikhq> If it's valid, it is UTF-8.
02:09:06 <kmc> i think he probably made a minor edit and screwed it up accidentally
02:09:10 <kmc> or moved to a new blog system or something
02:09:17 <shachaf> Also a lot of those things are true of Hebrew.
02:09:23 <Gregor> elliott: Do you need it?
02:09:28 <Gregor> elliott: Even "echo hi" should be sufficient.
02:09:35 <kmc> shachaf: not surprising
02:09:38 <elliott> Gregor: No, because I need to test behaviour with writes and stuff and the quote system makes that e-z
02:09:46 <kmc> arabic alphabet is cooler though
02:09:54 <pikhq> shachaf: Given that the two languages are in the same language family, makes a lot of sense.
02:09:54 <Gregor> <pikhq> If it's valid, it is UTF-8. // Technically, there is some insanely small possibility that this is false.
02:10:08 <pikhq> Gregor: Yeah, but that's the proper heuristic.
02:10:49 <shachaf> kmc: Sure, but you might as well write Farsi instead.

02:11:34 <shachaf> There's always https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiao'erjing
02:12:04 <pikhq> Well, if I can write English in kanji and a self-made script, I suppose you can do English in Arabic.
02:12:22 <elliott> Gregor: I like this irritating fucking "click the repo URL to copy it" thing that DOESN'T LET ME MIDDLE-CLICK-PASTE THE RESULT
02:12:50 <elliott> On https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/hackbot/overview
02:13:07 <kmc> there are some places in western china where you can see latin, arabic, cyrillic, han, and mongolian characters on signs
02:13:11 <kmc> also some places in new york city
02:13:13 <Gregor> That's... not an auto-copy thing?
02:13:31 <elliott> Try clicking it (make sure you have JS on I guess)
02:13:41 <Gregor> Of course I have JS on X-D
02:13:50 <elliott> It is definitely something weird

02:19:23 <elliott> I can't possibly articulate how much this code disgusts me
02:19:24 <Gregor> libevent... is not a networking library?
02:19:54 <Gregor> It uses socat to avoid all the buildup/teardown bullshit of BSD sockets, so it's just stdin/stdout. Otherwise it's equivalent.

02:20:54 <elliott> Nice, I have a newer kernel than umlbox

02:25:08 <Gregor> Well, or if your distro has one, you can use that.

02:26:37 <monqy> shachaf....etiqute
02:27:12 <Gregor> elliott: You don't need to use the version specified by the Makefile, you can use whatever version you please

02:27:23 <Gregor> elliott: But you do have to actually fetch the source, since, y'know, you're building it.
02:27:29 <shachaf> Is that a mosh bug or what?
02:28:26 <elliott> Gregor: Well I just meant you said "if your Linux version is different then the one in Makefile then change it or provide it as a make argument
02:28:36 <elliott> so I do need the versions to match?
02:28:42 -!- sebbu2 has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
02:28:43 <elliott> if not I'm totally happy with whatever it uses my default
02:29:41 <Gregor> elliott: One way or another you have to download a Linux kernel and extract it.
02:29:46 <Gregor> It doesn't do it itself because I'm lazy.
02:29:48 <elliott> doesn't the makefile do that automatically
02:29:51 <elliott> I recall that being a thing
02:30:14 <Gregor> Would you like me to make that a thing X_X
02:30:25 <elliott> ok if the versions have to match
02:30:28 <elliott> what if my kernel is patched
02:30:30 <elliott> does it need the same patches.........
02:30:39 <Gregor> The version does not have to match anything.
02:30:46 <Gregor> Just use a clean Linux.
02:31:05 <Gregor> The only version matching there is is that the Makefile has a variable to know what directory to descend into.
02:33:42 <kmc> what's a mosh bug?
02:34:08 <shachaf> Those [As came from pressing up-arrow-enter quickly.
02:34:46 <kmc> oh there's a known interaction with irssi paste detection
02:35:03 <kmc> if you send irssi a bunch of control codes at once, it assumes they are pasted and sends them to the channel as is
02:35:41 <Fiora> ohhh. is that why it does that when there's a big internet lag after I press backspace a lot?
02:35:44 <shachaf> I guess that's the reason I can only get tabs into the irssi buffer by pasting.
02:36:00 <Fiora> so it ends up packet-lossing a lot, so it sends all of them at once, and instead of backspacing I get a bunch of control codes
02:36:18 <Fiora> I've noticed that when being on horridly lossy networks and not using local-edit mode
02:37:17 <elliott> are you saying there is actually a way to get reasonable local line editing with modern networking stuff
02:37:28 <Fiora> um, putty has a local edit mode
02:37:33 <Fiora> it basicaly just sends a command when you hit enter
02:37:46 <elliott> does it actually do proper line editing
02:37:49 <kmc> mosh does local line editing
02:37:51 <Fiora> it's not that great and it kinda gets icky when you have a line longer than 80 chars
02:37:54 <kmc> that's one of the main features over ssh
02:37:56 <Fiora> but it's workable I guess
02:38:03 <Fiora> yeah, I'd guess mosh is a lot better >_<
02:38:07 <shachaf> but does mosh have a locale edit mode
02:38:07 <Fiora> especially at interacting with irssi and things
02:38:24 <kmc> mosh does get feedback from the server
02:38:41 <kmc> that is, it can distinguish "nothing was echoed within 50 ms" from "your network connection dropped for 50 ms"
02:38:48 <elliott> kmc: well mosh's local line editing is kind of bad
02:38:50 <kmc> a packet is sent for the former
02:38:52 <elliott> as in I wouldn't want to use it exclusively
02:39:10 <shachaf> kmc: You know the thing where mosh jumps from "last contact: 13 seconds" to "last response: 50 seconds" or something like that?
02:39:14 <shachaf> Or maybe the other way around.
02:39:14 <elliott> Gregor: oh come on, Linux doesn't compile
02:39:32 <Fiora> I guess quassel might work even better at this just for irc
02:39:48 <kmc> i guess from Fiora's description of PuTTY's thing, it probably does not work in, say, vim
02:40:11 <kmc> where you want line editing and then you hit Esc and now you want immediate feedback of your keystrokes
02:40:37 <Fiora> I think it basically just doesn't send your chars until you hit enter, then it sends them all. but maybe it works with things other than enter too
02:40:54 <kmc> mosh always sends them right away, but predicts a local echo in some situations
02:41:02 <kmc> and also predicts the effects of left-arrow and right arrow and backspace
02:41:10 <Fiora> I really don't know much about it
02:41:31 <elliott> kmc: mosh should predict ctrl+<dir> too
02:42:15 <kmc> move by word in irssi
02:42:17 <kmc> apparently
02:42:32 <kmc> don't know what tab would do other than complete nicks >_<
02:42:45 <kmc> people have asked for ^U
02:42:49 <shachaf> kmc: Tab does lots of other things!
02:42:57 <Fiora> ... oh cool! I didn't know about ctrl-w
02:43:12 <shachaf> Complete channels, complete arguments to commands...
02:43:16 <elliott> I keep using Ctrl+W in non-terminal programs and it closes my windows.
02:43:23 <ion> elliott: ditto
02:43:27 <elliott> kmc: tab should complete nicks, yes.
02:43:49 <Fiora> wow, ctrl-w closes tabs in chrome too
02:44:00 <shachaf> Why is the topic in Finnish?
02:44:36 <elliott> Fiora: did you seriously not know that
02:44:43 <elliott> how have you been closing tabs.....

02:45:00 -!- shachaf has set topic: hi | http://соdu.оrg/lоgs/_еsоtеriс/.
02:45:02 <elliott> another tip: middle-clicking anywhere on a tab closes it too
02:45:14 <Fiora> anywhere in the window, or on the tab itself?
02:45:21 <Fiora> ah, yeah, I know that one
02:45:32 <elliott> third tip: middle-clicking links opens them in a new tab??? :P
02:45:33 <shachaf> Also you can find out keyboard shortcuts in Chrome by clicking.
02:45:38 <Fiora> I know that one XDD
02:45:49 <ion> another tip: middle-clicking elliott turns it into a shachaf
02:45:51 <shachaf> I right click links to open them in a new tab.
02:46:01 <elliott> "helpful chrome tip click links to open them"
02:46:10 <shachaf> Double right click opens a link in a new tab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
02:46:33 <ion> I open links to a new tab by middle-clicking if i’m using the mouse.
02:46:43 <shachaf> kmc: Remember the time when middle clicking on a page in Firefox/Mozilla would go to the URL in PRIMARY?
02:46:51 <shachaf> I don't have a middle button!
02:47:01 -!- elliott has set topic: http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric/.
02:47:05 <shachaf> I have a left button and a right button and sometimes I press them together.
02:47:07 <elliott> please stop violating freenode guidelines by messing up the log url thx
02:47:09 <Fiora> random annoying thing: URLs that use javascript to open a new window, so when I middle-click them, it opens an empty tab
02:47:13 <ion> shachaf: A.k.a. the middle button
02:47:28 <shachaf> ion: Except a crumb or something got into my left button so now it's awkward to press.
02:47:30 <elliott> Fiora: sometimes those even open said link in the tab you middle-clicked from
02:48:09 <shachaf> "If you're publishing logs on an ongoing basis, your channel topic should reflect that fact."
02:48:24 <kmc> shachaf: yes!
02:48:50 <elliott> my gcc can't compile the kernel
02:48:58 <kmc> shachaf: when that happens you need to just pound that key repeatedly until the crumb turns into dust

03:31:15 <Gregor> If it doesn't build for you, something about your setup is terrible.
03:31:18 <Gregor> And you should feel bad.
03:31:37 <elliott> Gregor: did you completely ignore the part where I linked you to a thread where other people have had this problem and it's something that got fixed in the kernel itself or something
03:32:08 <Gregor> Dude, if it was fixed in the kernel, THEN USE THE RIGHT VERSION OF THE FUCKING KERNEL
03:32:38 <elliott> Gregor: did you miss the part where I used the kernel version you use, the latest stable kernel, and the latest rc
03:33:17 <Gregor> Wait, you mean the kernel I boot to, or the kernel I'm using in UMLBox?
03:33:26 <Gregor> The kernel I'm using in UMLBox is the one in the Makefile.
03:33:36 <Gregor> The kernel I boot to is 3.1 (unupdated wifi driver >: ( )
03:33:56 <Gregor> But that's only on this system... I've used quite newer versions. And hell, the kernel you're booting doesn't affect building software anyway.
03:34:29 <elliott> Anyway I guess I could try git linux? That will take five years to download though.

03:36:26 <elliott> (when did I tell you to add anything to umlbox??)
03:36:55 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined.
03:37:10 <Gregor> I have /no idea/ what you're telling me to do.
03:37:16 <Gregor> It builds for me, and I've never had any problem.
03:37:20 <Gregor> So how am I supposed to help you.
03:38:23 <elliott> oh apparently that is the commit that broke things
03:38:55 <Gregor> You could try whatever absurdly ancient version HackEgo is still on.

03:39:35 <elliott> maybe i will find the linux version released before 31 august
03:40:01 <shachaf> linux was invented in september
03:41:21 <Gregor> Please tell me why it builds just fine for me X-D
03:45:26 <elliott> Gregor: what gcc version, and what kernel are you compiling

03:46:13 <Gregor> Locally, 4.7.2, evidently, but that's probably not the version I had when I most recently compiled umlbox.
03:47:11 -!- evitable has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
03:47:56 <elliott> how about you try building umlbox now :P

03:49:38 <elliott> I wonder what that even means
03:51:27 <Gregor> Fine, I'll build umlbox now.
03:51:48 <Gregor> I'll bet it just works.
03:53:04 <Gregor> It'll take a while 'cuz I'm on a slow-arse laptop ;)
03:53:50 <shachaf> (Except when it actually uses it. Then it goes up a little bit.)
03:53:59 <Gregor> My speed scaling is broken, it's stuck at 800MHz.
03:56:54 <elliott> okay i patched the file that didn't build and added an #include
03:58:34 <elliott> so now you can give me an ssh account
03:58:38 <elliott> and I can use your built umlbox!
03:59:02 <Gregor> Seriously. SERIOUSLY. How are you having trouble building UML.
03:59:52 <pikhq> Maybe he uses musl.
04:00:10 <kmc> what's a pirate's favorite posix system call

04:06:20 <kmc> i see you are all rendered speechless by my shining wit
04:08:10 <elliott> Gregor: okay so i got this old kernel compiled by patching it
04:08:28 <Gregor> elliott: OK NEXT STEP INSTALL DAT SHIT
04:08:31 <elliott> Gregor: do I just run runner.sh
04:08:32 <Fiora> what do pirates use to create static libraries?
04:08:34 <elliott> no I'm just going to set PATH
04:09:05 <Gregor> elliott: So long as you have multibot next to runner and socat and umlbox in $PATH, yeah, just run runner.sh. ... after configuring it to have a sensible name and all that jazz.

04:22:45 <elliott> it has '/home/elliott/src/hackego/umlbox/umlbox'
04:23:01 <elliott> can umlbox find the kernel
04:23:53 <elliott> do i have to make an actual /hackenv directory

04:25:49 <elliott> $ HACKENV=multibot_cmds/env multibot_cmds/lib/sandbox echo hi

04:31:29 <elliott> Plus adding a <sys/resources.h> include to one UML file that didn't have it.
04:31:48 <Gregor> As in, make in the umlbox root?
04:31:51 <Gregor> So it used the umlbox config?

04:33:47 <Gregor> 3.0.42 should be fine.
04:35:08 <elliott> Gregor: How about you just send me a compiled umlbox/umlbox-linux
04:35:14 <elliott> Or even I guess just the latter
04:35:43 <Gregor> http://codu.org/tmp/umlbox-linux
04:36:14 <elliott> Your willingness to do this has made me more suspicious of this binary than any other
04:37:00 <elliott> No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 ext4
04:37:00 <elliott> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(98,0)
04:37:03 <elliott> Gregor: I think I know the problem.
04:37:15 <Gregor> It doesn't need to mount your host filesystem.
04:37:23 <Gregor> It just mounts an initrd, then uses hostfs.
04:37:27 <elliott> Then why did it try ext3/ext2/ext4
04:37:48 <Gregor> I have NO clue. Does it barf the umlbox-linux command line?
04:39:38 <elliott> Kernel command line: initrd=/home/elliott/src/hackego/umlbox/umlbox-initrd.gz ubda=/tmp/24023.conf mem=256M con1=fd:0,fd:3 con2=null con=null,fd:1 root=98:0
04:40:04 <oerjan> we need an esolang called Dahell now. it should vaguely resemble haskell, but get as much as possible slightly wrong in ways that blow up horribly when combined (no, C++ is not close enough.)
04:40:10 <Gregor> I wonder if somehow the way it's configured, I need to actually ASK it to use initrd...
04:40:38 <Gregor> elliott: In umlbox, can you add "root=ram0" to the kernel command line?
04:40:51 <Gregor> I THINK that's how you explicitly ask for it to use initrd as root.
04:40:56 <Gregor> umlbox-initrd.gz exists, right?
04:41:25 <elliott> No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 ext4

04:46:02 <pikhq> Oh good, the header's correct at least.
04:46:03 <elliott> I don't have a cpio(1) if that matters
04:46:15 <elliott> I must say the error reporting could be better.
04:46:28 <Gregor> I just added "|| rm -f umlbox-initrd.gz" to the Makefile X-D
04:46:31 <elliott> Whaddo I do once I have cpio? make clean && make?
04:46:37 <Gregor> Just rm that file and make.
04:46:48 <pikhq> if you feel insane you could install pax(1) instead, and then hack the Makefile. :P

04:48:03 <elliott> how do i change its prefix
04:49:00 <fungot> elliott: we just got through database normalization. normalization turns fnord strings into fnord ones. buttons are usually pngs, i think i got it to work for tho
04:50:00 -!- GregorSucks has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
04:50:18 <Gregor> Y'know you don't have to shut it down to change the prefix.
04:50:21 <elliott> Actually I guess I need it in hex
04:50:42 <Gregor> The major point of multibot is you never need to take it down, you just add and remove commands willy-nilly.
04:51:08 <elliott> % is my old bot's prefix :(

04:56:36 <Gregor> http://codu.org/tmp/marigoldsnuffles.gif
04:56:43 <zzo38> Use the nickname of the bot and a colon and space as the prefix, except private messages which should use no prefix at all.
04:56:43 <lambdabot> zzo38: You have 3 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
04:56:47 <elliott> Gregor: I've forgotten how I was even going to make it faster.
04:56:50 <lambdabot> shachaf asked 1m 27d 12h 10m 13s ago: Want a message?
04:56:50 <lambdabot> AnotherTest said 1m 27d 12h 9m 15s ago: and another one
04:56:50 <lambdabot> fizzie said 16h 23m 44s ago: That is, the name lookup is done the way you wanted, with the members being considered defined in the scope in which the union is declared. I have not checked whether C++
04:56:50 <lambdabot> makes it undefined to read an union member that was not the one last written to.
04:56:58 <Gregor> elliott: By making it have a persistent umlbox process.
04:57:04 <Gregor> Good luck with that, by the way X-D
04:57:43 <Gregor> My suggestion would be to, much more simply, have it just have a umlbox process waiting in the wings, so to speak. Still one-time use, but already there.
04:58:49 <elliott> That wouldn't make doing, e.g. 5 `quotes any faster.
04:59:04 <elliott> Do people really care about the performance of one command?
04:59:17 <elliott> I guess if HackEgo is being merged.
04:59:50 <Gregor> You could make it pool.
05:00:11 <Gregor> Need five fast `quotes? FIVE UMLBOX PROCESSES. BADA-BING BADA-BOOM
05:01:53 <elliott> Gregor: That seems like a good idea actually...
05:01:58 <elliott> Just keep 10 or so UMLBoxes running constantly.
05:02:31 <HackEgo> 392) <tswett> elliott: by the way, you're now almost capable of crawling.

05:02:34 <elliott> I mean, I don't see any reason not to.
05:02:45 <Gregor> elliott: I don't know any reason not to.
05:03:04 <elliott> shachaf: That was a really flimsy excuse for spam.
05:03:14 <shachaf> elliott: Better than your usual excuses.

05:06:31 <elliott> Gregor: Hmm, I wonder what should start the UMLBoxes, since there's nothing really long-running...
05:06:45 <Gregor> Idonnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
05:07:06 <elliott> I guess runner.sh could start them actually
05:07:32 <elliott> And they'd just maintain FIFOs in multibot_cmds
05:08:47 <kmc> apparently there is a new controversy over whether scotland automatically stays in the EU if it leaves the UK
05:08:52 <kmc> or whether they have to re-apply
05:09:18 <elliott> Except then it's not clear which FIFO a given process wants to send to
05:10:02 <elliott> Wait, does UMLBox even forward stdin...
05:10:13 <Gregor> It does if you don't explicitly tell it not to.
05:11:29 -!- WeThePeople has quit (Quit: Leaving).
05:14:20 <elliott> Hmmmmmmmm I guess I could make the UMLBoxers just create dummy files to signify when they're running
05:14:38 <oerjan> kmc: i've seen the same problem mentioned regarding catalonia. well that and the fact in their case spain would probably be pissed enough to veto it.
05:14:59 <kmc> interesting
05:15:22 <kmc> can a single state veto another state joining / remaining in the EU?
05:15:33 <kmc> it sounds like there is not an established procedure for this
05:15:47 <kmc> for the case of an existing state splitting into two, i mean
05:16:00 <tswett> elliott: you can walk now and you know a couple of words, by the way.
05:16:07 <kmc> seems kind of short-sighted but it may have been a third-rail issue when they were putting together the initial treaties
05:16:14 <tswett> Though as far as I can remember, the only words you know are "tractor", "bye-bye", and "thank you".
05:16:18 <oerjan> indeed. all the splitting states in europe recently did so before any part joined the eu.
05:16:32 <elliott> tswett: Those are the only words I kno
05:17:02 <Gregor> elliott: You could have a single FIFO to indicate when umlboxen are ready, and every time a new process comes into play, it makes a new umlbox in the background that (eventually) reports on the end of that fifo, then pull out the first one on the fifo.
05:17:04 <oerjan> there _is_ a precedent for only part of a state being a member, though (e.g. greenland)
05:17:59 <elliott> Gregor: Hmm, as in the FIFO would just be a stream of "umlboxer 1 ready", "umlboxer 7 ready", etc.?
05:18:14 <elliott> Not sure why you'd need it to dynamically make new UMLBoxes
05:18:31 <kmc> there are a bunch of weird cases actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_member_state_territories_and_the_European_Union
05:18:40 <elliott> I was assuming you'd just have a script that does "spawn a UMLBox, wait for a command on my FIFO, give it that command, wait until it dies, go to step 1"
05:18:40 <Gregor> elliott: It creates a new one so that there's the right number on the queue when it consumes one *shrugs*
05:19:12 <elliott> Hmm, probably I should just write a Python script that maintains all the UMLBox processes itself rather than trying to separate them out at all
05:19:47 <tswett> elliott: also, you don't seem to be aware that you only say "thank you" when someone else gives you something, not when you give someone else something.
05:19:53 <tswett> Oh right, you also know the word "poop".
05:20:03 <elliott> this is just sounding more and more like me
05:20:12 <tswett> And you say it whenever anyone trips over one of those springy doorstops.
05:20:35 <oerjan> tswett: maybe elliott is a buddhist, i hear they do that reverse thanking thing with monks
05:20:41 <shachaf> kmc: You're running unstable now?
05:20:46 <shachaf> I thought you were running testing.
05:21:05 <kmc> usually what happens is i set up to run testing, but to have the ability to install packages from unstable
05:21:11 <kmc> and then my system gradually becomes unstable
05:21:12 -!- tswett has quit (Changing host).
05:21:12 -!- tswett has joined.
05:21:28 <kmc> nah it's fine
05:21:28 <elliott> ...I guess so is Debian in general.
05:21:30 <kmc> apt handles it fine
05:21:39 <kmc> except that things in unstable tend to depend on other things in unstable
05:21:48 <kmc> so you end up gradually "upgrading" to unstable
05:23:08 <Fiora> my workplace uses gentoo and I've kind of noticed that happen too
05:23:15 <Fiora> where if I want one unstable thing I end up getting every unstable thing
05:23:29 <Fiora> except with lots of portage blocked packages <_<;
05:25:34 <shachaf> Gentoo isn't good at that.
05:28:56 <kmc> workplace using gentoo, that's interesting
05:29:06 <kmc> i hear it is good if you need a large number of local changes to packages
05:29:54 <kmc> gentoo does have a way to distribute binary packages right
05:30:34 <shachaf> In my experience Gentoo is good if you like having your package manager incurably broken.
05:30:43 <Fiora> they use ebuilds for a lot of their own programs and keep some specific versions and packages
05:30:47 <Fiora> it's kind of icky though
05:30:53 <Fiora> I think it's partially because a previous sysadmin set it up with gentoo
05:31:32 <Fiora> I'm mainly just not very good with it though
05:32:34 <kmc> maybe when I get my new laptop I should install NixOS instead of Debian
05:33:06 <shachaf> I heard NixOS is actually usable!
05:33:21 <kmc> that's cool
05:33:23 <shachaf> roconnor uses NixOS in hard mode
05:33:26 <kmc> "Actually usable!" -- shachaf
05:33:30 <kmc> they can put that on the DVD box set
05:33:34 <kmc> "hard mode"?
05:33:43 <shachaf> Or /lib64, or whatever it is.
05:33:45 <shachaf> So no /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
05:34:00 <kmc> where does your ELF interpreter live?
05:34:07 <kmc> that's hard mode because it breaks most linux binarieS?
05:34:40 <shachaf> They have a tool for patching ELF files to refer to it.
05:35:31 <kmc> good times
05:35:47 <kmc> and this is better than symlinking?
05:36:12 <elliott> kmc: you have to patch ELFs anyway
05:36:24 <shachaf> You could symlink those too.
05:36:35 * elliott has read the Nix/NixOS papers
05:36:42 <shachaf> But it would cause problems.
05:36:42 <elliott> they are very very good at getting unix to do something it doesn't want to do at all
05:36:48 <elliott> shachaf: yes if you don't care about the whole point of nix...
05:36:57 <elliott> I mean it does the symlink thing to a degree
05:37:04 <shachaf> I think some people do it and it works ish.
05:37:42 <kmc> aren't most shared libs referred to by filename only and not path?
05:39:03 <shachaf> Maybe I'm wrong about this "hard mode" thing and it's the regular thing.
05:39:17 <shachaf> roconnor said it was a thing he chooses to do, or something like that, I think.
05:39:25 <shachaf> kmc: You should try NixOS and tell me if it's good!
05:39:40 <kmc> perhaps NixOS will fix my X1 Carbon power management problems
05:40:20 <ais523> hey, is this edit vandalism, or mistake correction?: http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?title=Brainfuck_algorithms&diff=35029&oldid=34951

05:42:55 <elliott> is there a way to keep the histories somehow
05:43:07 <elliott> 05:37:42 <kmc> aren't most shared libs referred to by filename only and not path?
05:43:16 <elliott> kmc: with nix you always want everything to refer to an exact version
05:43:23 <elliott> that's basically the point
05:43:34 <elliott> stuff directly knows where all its dependencies are and there's no "resolution"
05:43:52 <elliott> also they do some really wild hacks to get builds repeatable so the hashes are consistent
05:43:59 <elliott> like with timestamps and stuff
05:44:27 <elliott> the thing with nixos is that you need the packaging to be really good
05:44:38 <elliott> because you want to do the configuration of all your software in the actual nix language
05:44:45 <elliott> and it generates the config files from that
05:45:05 <elliott> i mean i think you can just tell it "make a config file with this and expand the paths"
05:45:11 <elliott> but you don't get as much coolness ;p
05:46:42 <elliott> kmc: also I think you are locked-in to upstart as the init system
05:46:47 <elliott> which is a shame because I don't like upstart
05:47:22 <kmc> that sucks
05:47:25 <elliott> all that said their tech is so advanced that it's hard for me to consider all other package managers as anything more than broken
05:47:45 <elliott> not sure I'd actually use the OS but they really do just get so many problems right
05:48:01 <kmc> it sounds like if this actually works well, it would eliminate the need for programs like puppet and chef
05:48:23 <kmc> which basically try to apply a declarative configuration description on top of a conventional distribution
05:48:36 <elliott> kmc: yeah you can do things like make nix create a livecd of your current system
05:48:40 <elliott> or rollback to the configuration you used 3 days ago
05:48:46 <elliott> or start your current configuration in qemu
05:48:52 <elliott> they have tools to do this automatically
05:48:54 <kmc> that's very cool
05:50:01 <kmc> i have a feeling learning this will make me hate using debian and puppet at work
05:50:08 <kmc> in the way that learning haskell will make one hate using python at work
05:50:31 <shachaf> Do you hate using Python at work?
05:51:11 <kmc> not really
05:51:15 <kmc> i hate some aspects of it
05:51:34 <kmc> but i would hate some aspects of using haskell and ghc as well
05:53:02 <kmc> right now i am very annoyed that there's no reasonable way to set a timeout on a function call
05:53:19 <kmc> can't use SIGALRM because we are already forced to use python's shitty threads
05:53:24 <kmc> can't use python's shitty threads because they are shitty
05:53:28 <kmc> but we have been through this here before
05:54:19 <shachaf> "I'm a programmer, and my tools hate me... and I hate them. And they hate me for hating them and I hate them for hating me. And we hate each other. And that's because none of us got enough hate in our childhood."
05:56:19 <kmc> to be fair I like a lot of things about python as well
05:56:39 <kmc> python and javascript are two of the better languages that you can reliably get paid to use

06:07:36 <kmc> i guess once upon a time, lambdabot evaluated things in an implicit "let v = ..."

06:22:06 <zzo38> I did write one letter to Knuth, a year ago, I think. I did use TeX, and I use TeX for all of my typesetting stuff actually, but I did not use PDF. I did get someone to deliver it, though (it was addressed correctly, but I knew someone who was going to be near there, so he delivered it to Knuth's office).
06:22:47 <zzo38> I did include the return address too. However, I have not received a reply. Well, it doesn't matter; it is not particularly important.
06:23:43 <zzo38> It is the same address you can find by WHOIS on my domain name, but my name is Aaron Black, and ignore the telephone number and email and so on since none of those are mine; but the postal address will reach me if mail is sent there.
06:25:13 <zzo38> Just so you know, that is one way to contact me. Of course you can use the IRC and wiki talk pages but postal mail can be used too.
06:26:03 <zzo38> And if it is postal mail I am guaranteed to receive it as soon as it arrives (not as soon as it is sent); with the computer of course it is just whenever I check, which might or might not be faster.

18:48:33 -!- Nisstyre has joined.
18:48:48 <zzo38> There is Wikipedia article of it, but I can calculate it on my computer, without Wikipedia.
18:49:52 <olsner> hmm, you just wanted to know whether or not we knew it?
18:49:52 <zzo38> It says at 3:11 AM in my time zone, at December 21.
18:50:03 <olsner> I didn't know before I looked it up
18:50:07 <zzo38> Julian Day = 2456282.9666
18:50:36 <zzo38> Well, Wikipedia will tell you but why don't you calculate it on your own computer? I think even on the day before, they even said it on the news on television
18:51:50 <olsner> the main reason I don't calculate it myself is that I'm not interested in knowing when the solstice is
18:52:13 <fizzie> olsner: But it's CRUCIAL INFORMATION. How do you go grocery shopping without knowing that?

20:28:33 <fizzie> I didn't really realize I was an aquapet.
20:28:43 <elliott> this looks pretty much how i imagine fizzie to be irl
20:29:32 <elliott> "it makes me not want fizzie. its loud and annoying."
20:29:47 <elliott> i mean, sure, he's loud and annoying but do you have to say it outright like that
20:30:01 <elliott> it is not his fault he was born a speech recognition researcher
20:30:52 <fizzie> Speech recognition researches are born, not made.
20:30:56 <elliott> ps does this mean fizzie searches youtube for himself
20:31:55 <fizzie> We're e-stalking my wife's coworker's new boyfriend, via his IRC nick/anime website profile/okcupid profile; I just thought I'd see what I get with my nick.
20:32:13 <fizzie> It's fortunately a common enough word; no me-related results in the ten first pages.
20:32:27 <fizzie> You know, just to pass the time.
20:34:15 <elliott> (I think fizzie is planning to murder him.)
20:35:06 <fizzie> The anime-watching website's statistics said he's watched like two-three thousand episodes of the stuff.
20:35:34 <Fiora> how bad/good is his taste?
20:35:51 <fizzie> Fiora: I don't know, the site doesn't rate that automatically.
20:36:25 * Fiora imagines a site that uses k-means clustering to categorize anime fans
20:36:33 <nortti> fizzie: what is "the stuff"?
20:36:40 <Fiora> "mecha fan" "yaoi fangirl" "moe otaku" "pedophile" etc
20:36:53 <fizzie> Fiora: I'm sure some of them do clustering.
20:37:11 <Fiora> http://www.tsurupeta.info/content/anison-classification-from-unsupervised-lexical-clustering is what made me think of it
20:37:59 <fizzie> Perhaps I should do what our people always do and make a SOM out of it. Except I don't have a database dump from an animu site.
20:38:24 <nortti> fizzie: copypaste and format trough awk/perl
20:38:25 <fizzie> Self-organizing maps. They're kind of what our department is most famous for.
20:39:32 <fizzie> It's a kind of a dimensionality reduction trick, from one point of view.
20:39:38 <fizzie> Oh, just read the intro of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organizing_map
20:39:56 <fizzie> Quite often you end up with 2D maps with recognizable clusters, anyway.
20:40:30 <elliott> fizzie: you once made one of those of the channel right
20:41:04 <elliott> fizzie: Did you ever make something that analysis the logs and builds a model that can predict who is most likely to have said a given line on the channel?
20:41:10 <elliott> that sounds right up your alley and also cool
20:41:32 <nortti> that would certainly be interesting
20:41:50 <fizzie> I did two different very preliminary experimets re stuff like that, but never anything terribly finished.
20:42:03 -!- Phantom___Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).

20:42:19 -!- Phantom___Hoover has joined.
20:42:48 <fizzie> No; it was using the statistical features, you need a lot of text to get sensible estimates of those.
20:42:48 <elliott> more like self-organising crap am I right
20:42:57 <elliott> fizzie: #esoteric is pretty old!!
20:43:02 <Fiora> how does SOM compare to k-means stuff?
20:44:00 <fizzie> elliott: Oh, sure; it works reasonably if you take like a thousand lines from each speaker and use statistics from those as samples. But it's not as nice as the "guess an author for each line independently" trick.
20:44:27 <fizzie> Fiora: If you want to judge his taste, this was his "completed" series list: http://sprunge.us/YPcM
20:44:38 <elliott> fizzie: well I don't care how you do it, I just want something that takes a line and says it's n% chance to be fizzie, m% chance to be elliott elliott, ...
20:44:57 <Fiora> that's a huge list
20:46:13 <fizzie> Fiora: And SOM's not exactly a clustering algorithm per se, it's kind of more like something like other manifold learning algorithms, it finds a low-dimensional (usually 2D) manifold from the input data, minimizing something.
20:46:32 <Fiora> so it kind of finds a simple model for the data?
20:46:44 <zzo38> fizzie: Do they have "uncompleted" series lists too?
20:46:44 <fizzie> Like, uh, naximum variance unfolding or something.
20:46:52 <elliott> I think fizzie is just making up words.
20:47:19 <fizzie> zzo38: They have "watching", "completed", "dropped" and "plan to watch". (But the other three were shorter.)
20:47:51 <fizzie> 6 "watching", 365 "completed", 4 "dropped", 43 "plan to watch".
20:48:04 <fizzie> Fiora: And yes, you could say it finds a simple model for the data.
20:48:07 <Fiora> that list has everything from near-porn seinen shows to shoujo
20:48:33 <Fiora> and shonen like fullmetal alchemist and ... gosh that's a lot of anime
20:48:37 <Fiora> I think I've watched... like... 15
20:49:08 <fizzie> And sorry, I misremembered: the "completed" list is about 5700 episodes. (A hundred days' worth.)
20:50:17 <zzo38> The anime I like to watched included Akagi, Kaiji, Death Note, etc
20:50:36 <nortti> anime I like to watch includes Another, Mirain
20:50:50 <nortti> +Nikki, Higurashi and Umineko
20:51:09 <nortti> figure out what you want
20:51:20 -!- impomatic has joined.
20:51:42 * Fiora knows only one person who ha a longer list than that, and she's watched about 500
20:52:19 <fizzie> Fiora: Basically a SOM just takes a (usually) 2D grid and then schmoogles it into the data space in such a way that it tries to cover the distribution of the training data well; it's essentially figuring out a vector quantization codebook for the data. Then you can use it e.g. for classification by labeling the grid nodes and doing some nearest-node/nearest-neighbourhood stuff. Or just ...
20:52:25 <fizzie> ... visualize things; the "u-matrix" (average distance between a node and its neighbours) is often plotted, it will show "borders" around clear clusters.
20:55:37 <fizzie> Like uh this I pasted a while ago, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/113389132/Misc/girls_on_top.png -- that there is a u-matrix.
20:56:21 <fizzie> It's just traditionally a hex grid. You can do rectangular too.
20:56:26 <nortti> fizzie: why name like that?
20:56:33 * elliott wonders about the filename.
20:57:09 <fizzie> nortti, elliott: The red dots (female authors) are plotted on top of blue dots (male authors) when there happen to be books from authors of both genders in the same SOM cell.
20:57:17 <fizzie> (There's a boys_on_top.png there too.)
20:58:08 <fizzie> The size of a dot represents the count of books from authors of that gender that are closest to where that particular grid node is in the feature space.
20:58:15 <Fiora> what features is it charting?
20:58:17 <Bike> mm, i was wondering if it was for more connections between nodes or whatever
20:58:32 <fizzie> So regions of reds are where there are a lot of books by female authors.
20:59:02 <Fiora> but like, what features determine where in the chart the dots go?
20:59:18 <fizzie> And the background color shows the average distance between a node and its neighbours in the feature space, so you can see that the green cluster is separated by a really large gap.
20:59:28 <fizzie> There were some sixty of them.
20:59:32 <fizzie> They're really quite boring.
20:59:53 <fizzie> Word, phrase, sentence lengths, stuff like that.
21:00:22 <Fiora> ahhhh, so the text of the books
21:00:37 <fizzie> Neither male nor female. :p
21:00:54 <Fiora> genderqueer I suppose?
21:00:58 <fizzie> There's the human genome project "book" and some US tax database thing.
21:01:06 <Fiora> Oh, so no listed authors or something?
21:01:09 <fizzie> This was on Project Gutenberg data.
21:01:18 <fizzie> No listed author we could determine a gender for.
21:01:29 <fizzie> I have a feature list here somewhere, where did I put it.
21:02:03 <fizzie> http://p.zem.fi/esomap-feats I think they're the same as these.
21:02:33 <Fiora> ooh, so SOM can effectively cluster/organize a gazillion different features?
21:02:36 <fizzie> The "chars per word (N)"s are histogram bins of the chars-per-word histogram; the (mean) and (variance) ones are, well, sample mean and variance.
21:03:09 <fizzie> It would be a rather bad dimensionality reduction tool if it couldn't. (Though I have a feeling people might still sometimes do like a PCA first instead of using raw features, maybe?)
21:03:27 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
21:03:40 <Fiora> I mean, like, K-means isn't really good at that is it?
21:04:06 <fizzie> Possibly not. It suffers a bit from the curse of dimensionality.
21:04:30 <fizzie> But they're not strictly speaking exclusive alternatives; you could do K-means on the data as mapped to the SOM space.
21:05:12 <fizzie> The specific word lists (she+her+hers+herself etc.) are things that an early gender-specific-features-of-written-language paper listed as having good class separability.
21:05:25 <fizzie> And the nouns/verbs/adjectives/adverbs features are pure cheating.
21:06:05 <Fiora> I remember seeing those word lists in gender text classifier things online
21:06:10 <Fiora> but gosh were they /bad/
21:06:21 <Bike> "feels": highly feminine
21:06:29 <Fiora> it reminds me of when I took AI class and we did sentiment classification
21:06:33 <Fiora> and like, 70% accurate was considered amazingly good
21:06:59 <fizzie> It just assigns a POS tag like that based on whether the word in question has higher occurrancy count in WordNet for senses in that particular category; it doesn't try to do parsing, or even any context-dependency at all.
21:08:29 * elliott can't help but expand POS differently
21:09:34 <Fiora> were you able to get like, a % accuracy on gender detection (i.e. train on half the data set, test on the other half)?
21:09:42 <Fiora> or was that not what this does
21:10:17 <fizzie> Fiora: With 10-fold crossvalidation, our SOM clustering thing on Gutenberg data got average gender classification accuracy of 87%; but that's a misleading result, since you get 86% by guessing all-male since the data set is that biased. Average class accuracy (that is, average of the accuracy for males and for females) was 75%. But it really wasn't tuned for classification all that much.
21:11:00 <impomatic> Can anyone recommend a build-a-robot kit?
21:11:02 <Fiora> pfff, the getting 87% by guessing all male. that reminds me of the "weather forecast" that consists of guessing that tomorrow will be the same as today
21:11:07 <Fiora> and is nearly as accurate as actual wather forecasts
21:11:07 <kmc> impomatic: what kind of robot?
21:11:18 <kmc> Fiora: haha
21:11:22 <elliott> Fiora: wasn't that weather thing done in like arizona or something
21:11:29 <elliott> I can't imagine the weather changes much in arizona
21:11:48 <impomatic> kmc: Just something as a Christmas gift... preferably requiring soldering etc.
21:11:56 <fizzie> Fiora: Author attribution accuracy for Gutenberg with our 292-author set (so baseline guess-most-likely of 2.7%) was 39%, so it was certainly better than random guessing, which was pretty much what our goals were; I mean, it was just a project-work thing.
21:12:08 <Fiora> http://weather.slimyhorror.com/ this was for cambridge
21:13:09 <elliott> "I'm making the assumption that predicting today's weather is dead simple, so the BBC couldn't possibly get this wrong."
21:13:12 <elliott> I think this person must be new to the BBC.
21:13:34 <elliott> (ok I admit I just wanted to take a jab at the BBC for no reason and have no real basis)
21:14:36 <elliott> wanna upgrade the wiki for me
21:15:07 <fizzie> Fiora: http://zem.fi/~fis/esoconfnf.png is a confusion matrix for an #esoteric experiment with a "standard" SVM classifier on those same raw features, and maybe some further tweaks, I think using something like "each sample is a snippet of thousand lines from the particular person". It does well for some, less well for others.
21:15:28 <fizzie> elliott: Not really, no.
21:15:52 <elliott> and upgrade the wiki for me instead??
21:16:18 <Fiora> interesting, 'ihope' didn't get a very solid recognizing
21:16:26 <fizzie> Noooo. In fact, I think I have a pressing appointment and need to leave and go do important stuff real soon.
21:16:36 <Fiora> that's very cool though, it can tell you /which/ author wrote something if you have some other text from them
21:17:08 <elliott> fizzie: you're irresponsible :(
21:17:20 <elliott> what if someone exploits the security bugs in the current version
21:17:25 <elliott> and deletes all the brainfuck derivatives
21:17:30 <fizzie> Fiora: With those features, though, it can't really tell you anything about who wrote a single comment, you need to collect quite a lot of it.
21:17:45 <Fiora> wait, if it can't tell you anything, then why the cofidence in that confusion matrix?
21:17:53 <Fiora> or am I missing something
21:18:04 <elliott> http://esolangs.org/wiki/0L um, don't we already have literally this exact same language already
21:18:23 <fizzie> Fiora: Because "each sample is a snippet of thousand lines from the particular person". As in, the features are computed from a thousand lines.
21:18:54 <fizzie> You don't get very reliable "mean word length" features from a single comment, after all.
21:19:11 <Fiora> so "with a lot of text, you can find who wrote something"
21:19:26 <fizzie> Right. You could find people who have changed their nicks but not their writing styles.
21:19:38 <fizzie> In fact, I think I did get "automatic" groupings of people who had changed their nicknames in some other experiment.
21:20:20 <elliott> did you find any secret doppelgangers
21:20:27 <Fiora> one thing I've wondered about these things is how well they'd work with the same person but different areas of writing
21:20:35 <Fiora> like let's say someone wrote both technical programming books and romance novels
21:20:44 <Fiora> would it match the two? or would the styles be so different that it would fail?
21:20:50 <Bike> totally hypothetically, eh
21:21:03 <Fiora> I wonder if there's any good databases of that kind of thing
21:21:14 <Arc_Koen> ouh, technical programming romance
21:21:24 <Fiora> ... not in the same book XD
21:21:33 <Arc_Koen> I knew that pointer had a thing for that reference
21:22:02 <fizzie> elliott: I think I did find some pairs for which the machine gave a suspiciously high compatibility ratings, but none of them admitted anything. I forget exactly.
21:22:25 <Fiora> the struct held his beloved integer in his strong, protecting arms, his eyes like sapphire orbs staring into her own
21:22:30 <Fiora> "w-will you... will you union me?"
21:23:51 <fizzie> Fiora: I would assume choice of topic/genre could affect at least many of my features (word lengths, type/token count, word classes) more than the individual author.
21:23:53 <zzo38> That confusion matrix of #esoteric seem very much incomplete, I am sure there are a lot more people on this channel than just that.
21:24:06 <Bike> "no, I... I... I'm little-endian!" she cried, forcing herself away (and then you have a few pages explaining endianness, its history, its use in networks...)
21:24:07 <elliott> no I'm pretty sure that is a comprehensive list of anyone who has ever been in the channel, ever
21:24:10 <zzo38> Also it redirected to http://xn--nxa.zem.fi/~fis/esoconfnf.png what is that for?

21:25:57 <Arc_Koen> fizzie: I don't remember where I saw that (was that xkcd? or maybe this very channel?) but I saw a "map" of "words" from the english language, geographically located in a way that reflected their relations to each other in some texts
21:26:13 <fizzie> zzo38: β.zem.fi is a laptop at home where I keep large and/or miscellaneous things, because the zem.fi server has not much disk space.
21:26:23 <elliott> (per the famous rule of logic f(x) = f(y) -> x = y)
21:26:51 <Arc_Koen> (that is, words that would work in the same context, like "two" and "three", or "pizza" and "burger", would be located very near to each other)
21:27:06 <elliott> fizzie: is the wiki updated yet
21:27:30 <Bike> Arc_Koen: "geographically"?
21:27:44 <zzo38> But, you should make up a new one with everyone on, including different name of same people grouped together in the same row/column, and include time as well.
21:28:49 <fizzie> Arc_Koen: There are quite a few ways to make maps like that. Things vaguely like SOM, except many don't actually need feature vectors for the actual points, just pairwise distances you can easily get from relations like that.
21:29:13 -!- asiekierka has quit (Excess Flood).
21:29:41 <Bike> Arc_Koen: i mean, i just thought at first it would be like those maps that show where "pop" vs. "soda" is used

21:34:08 <Arc_Koen> Bike: oh, right. Well, not quite. In fact, I have no idea what the location meant - there was no axes or explanation whatsoever, it was just clear that words that usually occupy the same function were very very close
21:34:37 <Arc_Koen> Bike: though I think I can find you a map like you describe, wait a minute

22:22:40 <Bike> it's important to disambiguate here on the internet
22:22:42 <Arc_Koen> I'm a very non-swedish set of pixels
22:23:06 <kmc> with form contents that the freenode servers would interpret as logging in, joining a bunch of channels, and spamming them with links to said web page
22:23:24 <GreyKnight> Let's just assume he's Finnish, statistically it's likely around here
22:23:40 <kmc> yeah it was pretty brilliant
22:23:56 <kmc> i think freenode implemented a countermeasure where if your IRC session starts with the letters "POST" you are disconnected
22:24:15 <GreyKnight> kmc: ah, so of course every time someone clicked on the link...
22:24:42 <elliott> seems like POST is interpreted as QUIT

22:33:37 <olsner> wtf, chromium has no business deciding which ports you can http to
22:34:18 <kmc> well websec is entirely composed of ad hoc hacks to improve security by interventions on entirely the wrong layer
22:35:00 <olsner> on a related note, I think my ID card has technically expired ... time to figure out how to get a new identity and/or id card

22:37:38 <GreyKnight> (U+A66C cyrillic capital letter double monocular o)
22:37:43 <Bike> kmc: out of curiosity, what was the time lag between making the various internet protocols and getting somebody who knows security on board? i'm guessing like twenty years
22:38:34 <elliott> well I would guess that the kind of security knowledge and practice that is relevant to the internet just didn't exist before the protocols themselves
22:38:40 <GreyKnight> Guys I have important news: turns out there are in fact penises in Unicode: 𓂸𓂹𓂺

22:39:30 <kmc> there's a continuous process of people inventing crazy new features and other people finding security problems with them
22:39:41 <GreyKnight> U+130B8 is your basic penis, while U+130B9 has some other object in view (?) and U+130BA is peeing I think
22:40:28 <olsner> ah, is that U+130BA PUBLIC URINATION?
22:40:40 <kmc> i like the information disclosure hole where you can tell what sites a user has visited by making some links and asking their color from javascript
22:41:05 <Fiora> Yeah, that one is brilliant
22:41:05 <kmc> even once browsers closed that hole, you can trick the user into disclosing it by making a fake CAPTCHA
22:41:18 <Bike> Also, I just googled "unicode urinate" and got about half a dozen relevant hanzi.

22:41:26 <Fiora> then there's the gajillion hacks involving cached dat

22:55:49 <GreyKnight> agree on the first point, would agree on the second if I could think of a better way ;-)
22:56:19 <zzo38> Why should there be fonts for only some of the hieroglyphics?
22:57:11 <kmc> unicode does have some unnecessary complexity
22:57:37 <kmc> but it also has a lot of unavoidable complexity thanks to its ambitious goal of representing all text in the world
22:57:56 <kmc> the difficulty of that task is often lost on english speaking programmers
22:58:04 <GreyKnight> zzo38: I'm not sure there *are* any such fonts?

22:58:52 <GreyKnight> kmc, a quick glance at the pages and pages of CJK stuff should shock some sense into such people ;-)
22:59:56 <kmc> nah foreigners should just learn english if they want to use the internet
23:00:02 <zzo38> I don't care what language you speak but I think Unicode is doing everything the wrong way anyways.
23:00:06 <kmc> how dare they cause a little extra work for rich english-speaking people in the first world
23:01:00 <kmc> i can't find zzo38's viewpoint too offensive though because i can just substitute "HTTP" or "PDF" or "normal IRC clients" and it is still something he would say
23:01:01 <zzo38> Well, you should not be required to learn English well anyways; a little bit ought to be sufficient.
23:01:06 <kmc> bbl going to buy cheeses
23:02:37 <zzo38> Since if you are writing a document in some other language it should still be allowed, although what encoding you use is whatever you use. Such as you might make up the font, and then print out the document, using such fonts, then it is readable.
23:04:15 <zzo38> It isn't because I don't like other languages; actually, I think English is just as bad. But that is not the point! I mean they shouldn't overcomplicate things.
23:06:16 <GreyKnight> what if you're not printing? For example, people conversing on IRC using various characters
23:07:25 <fungot> GreyKnight: not in 1952. let handles it specially. monadzero was the perfect format for a timestamp.

23:15:05 <zzo38> A better way to design a universal character set anyways, would be, instead you can tell many things about it from the bits of the codepoint, and from information in the font files, and from formatting codes in the document, and should not require built-in tables to figure out what everything is, and the program does not need to support all of them anyways.
23:15:30 <zzo38> Also, the way the Unicode decided what character to put in and how it is put in, is also bad, even ignoring the code numbers and other stuff.
23:16:28 <zzo38> UTF-8 is not such the bad encoding for the numbers, although any program that supports it should allow you to turn it off too, to use single-byte encoding.
23:17:52 <Lumpio-> But there are so many bits about a character
23:18:00 <Lumpio-> You would end up with ridiculously long numbers
23:18:13 <zzo38> That is just because of Unicode they put too many in.
23:18:34 <Lumpio-> Also Unicode wasn't designed in one go. You'd have to have lots of reserved codepoints for future expansion of each category
23:18:36 <GreyKnight> having an initial BOM in the document lets you specifically state that the file is UTF-8 (or any other UTF really), so an application could use that to switch between UTF-8 and bytes automatically
23:18:39 <Lumpio-> Which would make them even longer
23:19:00 <Lumpio-> zzo38: Oh, what would you have left out?

23:24:36 <zzo38> Probably eight categories, meaning three bits, is more than enough. One means control characters.
23:25:21 <elliott> so now if a program wants to know something about a character that zzo38 omitted it has to have a big table again

23:26:05 <zzo38> But why should the program need to know about such things anyways? Some of the stuff needed to know can be stored with the fonts.
23:27:14 <zzo38> But, other things, depend on the program.
23:27:27 <GreyKnight> won't most of the fonts be keeping duplicate information then? :-/
23:28:17 <FireFly> Surely properties such as script direction and which codepoint is the uppercase version of this one is more relevant to the charset than a font?
23:28:49 <Bike> I thought typefaces were only supposed to be information about the graphical display. Stuff like whether a character is logically considered "whitespace" doesn't seem appropriate for a typeface.
