00:08:59 <Sgeo> shachaf, apparently the 'happy ending' prophecy is supposed to reassure the reader that the story has a happy ending
00:10:57 <Sgeo> From the forums
00:10:58 <Sgeo> 'Guys, you can stop freaking out about this being Elan's prophecy. War and XPs commentary says his prophecy is a word from the Giant to the readers that when the entire story is over Elan will have a happy ending, and that while things might get scary for a while they will work out in the end.'
00:12:01 <kmc> it was a huge mistake to join a company started by my friends
00:12:10 <kmc> even though the only reason they were my friends was that I worked at a previous company they started
00:12:17 <kmc> such are the dumb paradoxes of my life
00:13:32 <shachaf> Sgeo: imo plz arrange for another update this friday thx
00:14:09 <Sgeo> shachaf, would you actually be upset if it happened sooner than Friday?
00:14:25 <shachaf> I wouldn't be upset if one happened sooner than Friday.
00:14:30 <shachaf> As long as one happened on Friday.
00:15:16 <Sgeo> Is Friday your birthday or something?
00:17:33 <kmc> on the rubik's cube you can rotate two adjacent centers by π/2 or rotate a single center by π
00:17:38 <shachaf> Well, I mean, I'm sure it's *something*.
00:18:21 <shachaf> You could just say 1/2 and 1/4.
00:18:38 <shachaf> Hmm, maybe angles should be measured in the reciprocal of the fraction of a full turn.
00:18:52 <shachaf> So 1 is a full turn, 2 is a half turn, 4 is a quarter turn.
00:19:43 <shachaf> What should I call this "unit"?
00:19:43 <Bike> so arc length would be pi/angle? that's not too bad
00:20:18 <kmc> shachaf: the shachaf
00:20:54 <shachaf> maybe i'll call it an ungle because it's not really an angle................................
00:20:54 <kmc> the elcric
00:21:16 <kmc> is that a portmanteau of "shit" and "angle"
00:23:24 <Bike> Oh, what's the equivalent zero radians?
00:24:51 <shachaf> I'll call it the "nurt" because it's the opposite of a turn.

00:53:55 <elliott> because i hate thinking about it

00:55:38 <elliott> how do you know lambdabot didn't reply
00:55:50 <shachaf> because lambdabot isn't in this channel
00:55:57 <elliott> how do you know what i said
00:56:45 <kmc> lambdabot is passed out in a ditch
00:57:36 <Phantom_Hoover> shachaf, this wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have n set
00:58:16 <Phantom_Hoover> lets you send messages to a channel without joining it
00:58:40 <shachaf> We have it off in $THAT_CHANNEL

01:23:42 <copumpkin> I want an hmac-memorable-email server

01:24:09 -!- olsner has quit (Read error: Operation timed out).
01:24:26 <copumpkin> so if I sign up for amazon on it, I'd have amazon.a42be@copumpk.in or something like that
01:24:35 <copumpkin> I explicitly don't want the + scheme
01:25:08 <copumpkin> what's something good to build on to handle your own mail?
01:25:18 <copumpkin> I'd probably just end up forwarding it to gmail :)
01:25:37 -!- olsner has joined.
01:26:58 <elliott> wow, useful things. this is absolutely not my area of expertise.
01:27:19 <copumpkin> I'm sick of my email getting sold and not knowing who sold it
01:27:27 <copumpkin> I want to be able to blacklist addresses
01:27:39 <copumpkin> and the + scheme doesn't work because it's easy to drop
01:28:30 <Gregor> Ideally you'd have it encoded in some way, such that dropping it produces an invalid address and randomizing it also produces an invalid address.
01:28:47 <copumpkin> the second half is basically a simple hmac-alike of the first half
01:29:02 <copumpkin> I can just take a prefix of a real hmac
01:29:35 <kmc> that's a cool idea

02:07:08 <kmc> shachaf: if I move to SF you will tell me the places to buy jaffa cakes??
02:07:20 <shachaf> kmc: is jaffa cakes a euphemism for drugs
02:07:32 <shachaf> this place is in palo alto
02:07:37 -!- Bike has joined.
02:07:38 <kmc> maybe on Brass Eye
02:07:42 <shachaf> anyway i've never had jaffa cakes before
02:07:45 <kmc> shachaf: also how much did you pay
02:07:54 <kmc> you can buy jaffa cakes in Cambridge but they are $$$$$
02:07:57 <kmc> not like Other Cabridge
02:08:32 <copumpkin> isn't there a really expensive jaffa cake in CA now?
02:08:50 <shachaf> Ah. Yes, that's what I thought.
02:08:53 <shachaf> These are, uh, from Serbia?
02:10:11 <copumpkin> come on, you can do that in your head
02:10:51 <shachaf> copumpkin: I was subtly communicating to you how many jaffa cakes I now possess.
02:11:03 <shachaf> I have to find indirect ways of showing off.
02:11:10 <elliott> i'm worse at arithmetic than gwern
02:11:17 <copumpkin> you still could have done that by performing the calculation
02:11:29 <shachaf> But then elliott wouldn't know.
02:11:42 <shachaf> I heard that elliott is worse than arithmetic than gwern.
02:15:08 <shachaf> when is kmc moving to SF................
02:15:21 <elliott> he's waiting for me to okay the move
02:15:52 <shachaf> Hmm. Should I send my sister some citric acid powder?
02:19:12 <shachaf> kmc: These are from http://www.jaffa.rs/
02:19:54 <shachaf> http://www.jaffa.rs/jaffa-cakes-classic
02:20:07 <elliott> pretty sure you'll find they only count if McVities™ makes them
02:20:27 <shachaf> I was worried about something like that.
02:20:46 <elliott> you are granted official british permission to import them
02:21:13 <shachaf> elliott: do "cadbury flake" exist in where you are
02:22:04 <shachaf> do you admit that Mekupelet is better
02:22:20 <shachaf> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mekupelet
02:23:16 <elliott> It is known for its crumbliness and thin flakes.
02:23:56 <shachaf> Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before
02:24:13 <elliott> http://marcos.kirsch.mx/2006/05/05/elite-mekupelet-vs-cadbury-flake/
02:24:59 <shachaf> It was a really tight contest and to be frank I don’t feel like scrolling up and counting how many points each one had. So the debate remains unsettled.
02:26:28 <shachaf> Wikipedia's picture -- http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Mekupelet.jpg -- has less boring text
02:26:46 <shachaf> "to the last crumb", it says
02:27:00 <shachaf> Well, it says "until". I took the liberty of changing it to "to".
02:28:03 -!- comex` has changed nick to comex.
02:28:05 <elliott> shachaf: you can buy and mail me some Mekupelet and I will give you my opinion on it

02:31:23 <elliott> it's epistemologically important
02:31:32 <Bike> Not ontologically?
02:31:44 <shachaf> Maybe I can get someone in .il to mail some to you...
02:31:56 <shachaf> Will you send me some Cadbury Flake?
02:32:03 <shachaf> I bet that's easier to get hold of over here.
02:32:25 <elliott> pretty sure that should just be available in stores in the US?? surely you have regular ol chocolate
02:32:55 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).

02:34:02 <shachaf> $5 for 6-count with free shipping.
02:34:16 <elliott> don't they have like british stores
02:34:23 <elliott> I heard something about that
02:34:37 <shachaf> British Grocery - CLOSED - Mission - San Francisco, CA - Yelp
02:34:41 <shachaf> i guess there are no more brits
02:34:41 <Bike> is there a lot of demand for that in SF
02:34:54 <Bike> or wherever shachaf is i forget
02:34:59 <kmc> fish and chips burrito
02:35:45 <shachaf> elliott: OK, what's your address? I won't tell Taneb.
02:35:47 <elliott> i believe there are likely british people in san francisco
02:35:54 <shachaf> I'll see what I can Arrange.

02:57:17 <Sgeo> Someone I knew in high school works for Long Island Medium now :(
03:00:44 <Sgeo> It feels weird
03:09:55 <kmc> can you buy a 1×1×1 rubiks cube
03:10:13 <Bike> I believe they're called "cubes"
03:14:17 <shachaf> I had a 2×2×2 Rubik's cube once.
03:18:48 <kmc> i have one right here
03:18:59 <kmc> found it in a free pile
03:19:05 <kmc> the white face says "6 0\n0 6"
03:19:14 <kmc> or is it.... "9 0\n0 9"???
03:19:18 <shachaf> 08:59 <oerjan> * kmc is learning the moves for rotating the centers of a Rubik's cube <-- is that something zen-like...

04:43:53 <shachaf> @vixen What do you think of monoids?
04:43:54 <lambdabot> A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.

04:45:28 <shachaf> @vixen Tell me more kmc facts!
04:45:29 <lambdabot> The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.
04:46:00 <Bike> what a horrid little anecdote
04:46:20 <pikhq_> And not even slightly true.
04:46:53 <Bike> i remember hearing that "chaos" was two of the characters for "women" under a line (one roof)
04:47:01 <kmc> dude nixon *went* to china
04:47:03 <kmc> he is the expert
04:47:03 <Bike> and a chinese speaker came in and was like "what are you even talking about"
04:47:33 <Bike> nixon in china is a pretty good opera
04:48:36 <coppro> I want to see that one
04:48:47 <Bike> there's a performance on youtube
04:48:51 <Bike> way superior to the valis opera, imo
04:49:05 <pikhq_> Sounds like you mixed 安 "peace" (roof, woman) and 姦 "adultery" (three women) somehow.
04:49:15 <coppro> my school's amateur theatre group actually has a director
04:49:22 <coppro> this is like six months early
04:49:37 <Bike> pikhq_: i think i looked it up and found some obscure character for "battle" or something that almost fit if you were dumb
04:50:09 <kappabot> is that really what you want to know?
04:50:10 <lambdabot> Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people.
04:50:24 <shachaf> @vixen i nitya to be honest with me
04:50:24 <lambdabot> I brought myself down. I impeached myself by resigning.
04:51:30 <kmc> adultery is *three* women eh
04:51:47 <shachaf> Bike: You should follow me on Twitter!
04:51:48 <pikhq_> Or "seduction" or "rape" or a number of things.
04:52:00 <pikhq_> The general semantics for that are kinda "anything improper in sex".
04:52:14 <Bike> why do programmers know so little about programming. it's like if one lumberjack looked at a tree's shadow and was like "shit this is gonna be hard" and another one's like "no, see, there's a cloud over it, it'll be easy"
04:52:25 <Bike> shachaf: what's twitter
04:52:40 <shachaf> Bike: it's like tumblr except kmc uses it
04:52:41 <kmc> Bike: and then they each wrote 2,000 word blog posts about how to hire and manage lumberjacks
04:53:05 <Bike> how do i get in on this twittering
04:53:16 <shachaf> https://twitter.com/shachaf -- click "follow"
04:53:20 <kmc> if you want to be taken seriously as a lumberjack, you need to do some lumberjacking on your own time and upload your logs to LogHub
04:53:24 <shachaf> then follow the instructions hth
04:53:37 <kmc> this shows that you have a passion for lumberjacking, not like those evil greedy people who just want to get paid for doing a job

04:54:08 <shachaf> http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hyperloglog is edwardk's approach to lumberjacking
04:54:12 <Bike> shachaf: it says you haven't twittered.
04:55:18 <kmc> my twitname is @miuaf
04:55:29 <Bike> wow look at all those dependencies
04:55:36 <Bike> i don't know if i can commit to this!
04:58:25 <Bike> "People love OSI. When they find out it's BS they're floored. Like physics students who learn that electrons aren't little whirling planets." OSI?
04:58:57 <kmc> OSI network model
04:58:59 <kmc> 7 layer dip
04:58:59 <shachaf> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model
04:59:14 <Bike> Oh. How's it a lie? layer crossing?
04:59:32 <Bike> "What math book will tell me if I properly formalized the semantics of HTTP caching headers?" sassy
04:59:34 <kmc> well, the layers are aware of each other in various ways
04:59:40 <kmc> also mostly there aren't 7
05:00:00 <pikhq_> The OSI model was the model used in a particular network protocol, that we don't use at all.
05:00:10 <kmc> really there are only like 4 layers, but then you reimplement that over HTTP and then reimplement that over HTTP again because that's the world we live in
05:01:15 <pikhq_> Ethernet is layers 1 and 2, IP is 3, TCP is 4 through 5, your program is 6 and 7. (basically)
05:02:52 <kmc> also a lot of networks use reliable link protocols, I learned recently
05:02:58 <kmc> 3G networks
05:03:07 <kmc> and WiFi has some link layer retransmits too, although I think it's not totally reliable
05:03:55 <pikhq_> Even Ethernet uses checksums.
05:04:12 <pikhq_> Though I think that's in OSI layer 4?
05:04:17 <Bike> "The incoherency of HN’s folk sociology/philosophy/psychology really undercuts their snottiness about non-engineering educations" hey nice summary
05:04:26 <kmc> TCP assumes that packet loss is solely caused by buffers filling up, but wireless networks have lots of stochastic, non-congestive loss, from radio interference or whatever
05:04:48 <kmc> so for TCP to perform well on these networks, the link layer has to hide non-congestive loss
05:05:22 <Bike> also btw, you mentioned syrian internet going offline, but it's back up
05:05:37 <pikhq_> Yeah, it was down for ~24 hours.
05:05:40 <Bike> i think the government might have claimed a nameserver was bombed
05:05:58 <kmc> btw this directly interferes with the goal of fixing TCP flow control to deal with non-congestive loss

05:16:24 <kmc> no but shachaf did
05:16:45 <kmc> i left another channel because I didn't want to get drawn into a conversation that was making me angry
05:16:49 <kmc> it's no biggie, I'll be back in a bit
05:16:56 <kmc> I think this is healthy behavior.....
05:17:02 <kmc> it's all right
05:17:10 <kmc> I am only mildly annoyed
05:17:37 <kmc> ##crypto didn't answer my question about why MAC-then-encrypt is bad :(
05:17:40 * shachaf usually thinks of leaving a channel as a Bigger Deal than leaving a conversation.
05:17:58 <kmc> well I think I know why, but I want to confirm
05:18:21 <shachaf> But I suppose it's not necessarily a Big Deal.
05:18:39 <kmc> shachaf: the thing is that I have poor self-control; if the channel is open in irssi I will have to switch to it, and then I'll read what's been said
05:18:42 <kmc> and then i might reply
05:18:45 <kmc> see also: #haskell
05:19:07 <Jafet> Why are you even reading channels that you join, kmc
05:19:11 <Jafet> Such poor self-control
05:19:17 <shachaf> IRC is for writing, not reading.
05:19:29 <kmc> it's not just that the conversation was making me angry, but that I don't actually have the factual knowledge necessary to support the position that my emotions were pushing me toward
05:19:33 <kmc> nothing good can come of that
05:20:04 <Jafet> ##crypto usually has a low ratio of factual knowledge anyway
05:20:19 <kmc> er the channel in question is not ##crypto
05:20:27 <kmc> and I think they're pretty knowledgable
05:20:47 <kmc> what I said about ##crypto was a non-sequitor, sorry
05:20:58 <kmc> slash attempt to change topic
05:21:22 <shachaf> Is SSL really MAC-then-encrypt?
05:21:27 <kmc> believe so
05:24:00 <kmc> at least in the typical CBC / HMAC modes
05:24:10 <kmc> GCM isn't, of course
05:24:59 <shachaf> Hmm, I ordered some chocolate to elliott for some reason.
05:25:04 <Jafet> kmc: http://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/02/04/luckythirteen.html
05:26:20 <kmc> <kmc> it seems like the fundamental problem is that it exposes a decryption operation to untrusted data
05:26:31 <kmc> <kmc> which means exposing possible side channels (timing, padding oracle) as well as vulnerabilities in the decryption code
05:26:39 <kmc> <kmc> is that a fair summary?
05:28:29 <Bike> «Let's replace "brain" w/ "kidney" in all neuromyths. "We only use 10% of our kidneys." "Your left kidney is logical; right one's creative."» oh god yes
05:31:49 <kmc> Bike: i'm glad you approve of things I have retweeted :)
05:32:23 <shachaf> kmc: You can add people to "lists" in Twitter and then you see their tweets but not their retweets. :-(
05:32:28 <Bike> i am requoting your retweet
05:32:34 <Bike> i am internetting this hard
05:32:34 <shachaf> (But the lists can be private so that people don't know whom you're following.)
05:32:38 <Jafet> For how much can I sell my left brain
05:32:40 <kmc> shachaf: interesting
05:32:48 <kmc> I've also seen that you can "hide retweets" on someone's profile page
05:32:58 <shachaf> I would follow people except that I don't want my followee list to be public.
05:33:05 <kmc> Bike: instagramming your requot of my retweet
05:33:13 <kmc> gifing that and posting it to tumblr
05:33:47 <shachaf> You should register miuaf.com etc.
05:34:17 <kmc> don't want to talk about names
05:34:31 <Bike> Jafet: just fyi there are actually surgical procedures where people get a hemisphere of their brain removed
05:34:36 <Bike> (and they don't die)
05:34:42 <shachaf> Which hemisphere doesn't die?
05:35:52 <shachaf> kmc: Hm, am I irritating lately?
05:38:55 <kmc> not very much
05:39:01 <kmc> I'm in a bad mood lately, which doesn't help
05:39:11 <Bike> oh hey and the guy who said the kidney thing is a science journalist. yay, slightly less dumb science journalism

06:52:11 <Bike> i don't think i've ever heard of pig meat being referred to as boar before
06:52:17 <Bike> oh, yes i have, when it's a full one
06:52:46 <kmc> or is it for wild pigs?
06:52:56 <kmc> either way, probably tasty
06:54:02 <Bike> usually a boar is a wild pig, yeah
06:54:09 <Bike> (apparently they hang out in berlin???)
06:54:38 <shachaf> [[boar]] redirects to [[wild boar]]

07:06:49 <pikhq_> Beer burger sounds awesome.
07:16:09 <Bike> @quote container
07:16:09 <kappabot> heatsink says: If monads are containers, the Cont monad is a klein bottle.
07:16:09 <lambdabot> kmc says: monads are like containers, as long as you forget everything you know about the meaning of the word "container" and take it to be a totally abstract word synonymous with "monad"
07:17:14 <fizzie> Monads are like containers, in that they're mostly filled with vomit.
07:17:54 <kmc> heatsink's quote is better
07:18:16 <Bike> yeah, but i wanted the quote for someone who doesn't know or care about Cont

07:19:43 <lambdabot> Occurs check: cannot construct the infinite type: a0 = a0 -> b0
07:19:57 <Bike> proved: monads have two sides
07:20:04 <kmc> like an onion
07:20:13 <Bike> wait, why does that involve an occurs check
07:20:18 <kappabot> forall (m :: * -> *) a b. Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b
07:20:19 <lambdabot> Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b
07:20:30 <Bike> snazzy, kappa-boy
07:21:15 <Bike> hm, a and b aren't typed (kinded) like m is?
07:21:25 <kmc> it only writes the kind when it differs from *
07:21:27 <kappabot> forall (m :: * -> *) a b. Monad m => m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
07:21:29 <lambdabot> Monad m => m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
07:21:36 <Bike> oh. that's confusing.
07:21:49 <Bike> i was imagining [a ->] or whatever for a sec.

19:22:27 <shachaf> In the past, East Palo Alto experienced profound crime and poverty, especially during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, it had the highest homicide rate in the country with 24,322 people, and 42 murders, equaling a rate of 172.7 homicides per 100,000 residents.[6]

22:53:04 <kmc> remember that "liberal" means something totally wacky in the US
22:53:09 <Bike> kmc: reminds me of a de long post where he basically said the whole large corporation thing we've got going now is central planning that works
22:53:24 <elliott> kmc: it means something even more capitalist in the US!
22:53:27 <Bike> so now i can't stop thinking of the US as bizarro-socialist (help)
22:53:33 <kmc> Bike: interesting, although many large companies aren't so centrally planned internally
22:54:06 <Bike> it was also written in 1997 and included the line "it seems unlikely that Apple will survive its current crisis"
22:54:13 <kmc> well, it was unlikely
22:54:32 <kmc> a lot of companies fuck up the central planning and go bankrupt or through some other crisis
22:54:34 <Bike> i have no idea what crisis was referred to, being too young, but it's amusing nonetheless
22:54:39 <kmc> it'd be bad if that happened to soverign states on a regular basis
22:54:45 <elliott> Bike: the crisis was "not having steve jobs"
22:55:43 <Bike> that's quite a crisis.
22:56:12 <Bike> kmc: i'll find the post again, but the idea was equating corporations to enterprises rather than countries, so like, the kamchatka iron factory board, not the soviet union.
22:56:16 <elliott> the solution was "make the iMac"

22:57:33 <elliott> Bike: the difference is that the US has freedom, obviously
22:58:08 <Bike> de long isn't a moron, thankfully
22:58:56 <Bike> but you're not american
22:59:01 <Bike> you have to talk about thatcher or something instead
22:59:16 <elliott> man nobody wants to talk about thatcher
23:00:03 <Bike> british conservatives don't blather on about her? (like americans do with teh reagan)
23:00:55 -!- carado has joined.
23:02:33 <Phantom__Hoover> Bike, the british working class are more receptive to being fucked over than the american one, i guess
23:02:54 <Bike> that's... impressive
23:03:15 <elliott> because you were stating the impossible
23:05:32 <lambdabot> mueval: recoverEncode: invalid argument (invalid character)
23:05:42 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rajahs alright, it's official, britain isn't possible.

23:28:42 <Phantom__Hoover> explosions just replace a big circle of land with a crater right
23:29:12 <kmc> that's how it works in Worms
23:29:22 <elliott> in worms things bounce too
23:29:35 <Phantom__Hoover> (what's The Point here, is it 'we should just nuke the middle east and get it over and done with'
