00:13:31 <elliott> ^ my impression of any channel I've never been in
00:14:26 <Bike> accurate impression
00:15:35 <elliott> also feels kind of like joining #haskell to ask if xmonad is any good
00:15:54 <Bike> do people do that
00:15:59 <Bike> well. probably.
00:16:18 <kmc> yes
00:16:29 <kmc> elliott: you could look through the logs I guess
00:17:49 <elliott> should just become a god capable of memorising twenty 32-character passwords like every other nerd on the planet apparently is
00:18:41 <Bike> just forget them all constantly and then get back on based on your taking the time to call an underpaid intern at the organization.
00:18:50 <Bike> works every time.

14:36:04 <boily> I added a title page (from a template), and a small foreword.
14:36:22 <shachaf> `olist (915)
14:36:28 <HackEgo> olist (915): shachaf oerjan Sgeo FireFly
14:36:29 <boily> I still need to insert the colourful and incomprehensible entries.
14:44:25 <oerjan> you know, i might be starting to dislike tarquin a tiny bit.
14:45:01 <boily> ~duck tarquin
14:45:01 <metasepia> --- No relevant information
14:45:18 <oerjan> shocking
14:45:22 <oerjan> (the `olist)
14:47:30 <shachaf> boily: tarquin is a kind of sweet sesame pudding
14:48:07 <boily> shachaf: like halva?
14:48:20 <shachaf> not very much like halva
14:48:25 <shachaf> sesame has many forms
14:48:28 <shachaf> (all evil)
14:49:48 <boily> but... what of sesame on sushi?
14:52:27 <Koen_> suchi is much better off without it
14:53:12 <boily> ~duck suchi
14:53:12 <metasepia> --- No relevant information
14:53:27 <Koen_> ~duck salmon
14:53:27 <metasepia> salmon definition: a large anadromous salmonid fish ('''Salmo salar''') of the North Atlantic noted as a game and food fish called also '''Atlantic salmon'''.
14:53:39 * boily and metasepia glare at Koen_ “Such a lack of taste... you plebeian”
14:53:49 <boily> ~duck tuna
14:53:49 <metasepia> tuna definition: any of various flat-jointed prickly pears (genus '''Opuntia'''); '''especially'''.
14:53:56 <boily> ~duck tunafish
14:53:56 <metasepia> A tuna is a saltwater finfish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a sub-grouping of the mackerel family (Scombridae)&nbsp; which together with the tunas, also includes the bonitos, mackerels, and Spanish mackerels.
14:55:33 <Koen_> boily: you know, in japanese restaurants in paris they usually have carpaccio de saumon de provence on their menu
14:56:07 <boily> Koen_: nice! completely unauthentic, but nevertheless nice.
14:56:50 <boily> here we get the usual american fare, meaning all variations on maki, but the sushi joints are nearly all tended by south-east asians or chinese people.
14:58:03 <boily> thus, in AYCE buffets you can get garlic beef tenderloin, thai style udon, fishballs, miso soup, fried shrimps, fish heads (apparently the eyes are good)...
14:58:39 <boily> and we get the obverse: in korean grills you can order sushi plates too :D
14:58:48 <Koen_> yes I'm pretty sure all asiatic restaurants in my hometown belong to the same family
14:59:15 <boily> that's a very profitable model: sale your restaurant to your nephew, evade taxes, buy it back later.
14:59:49 <Koen_> I extrapolated and decided there was only one family in asia
15:00:52 <boily> they're all 李, except when they're nguyễn.
15:05:29 <oerjan> Koen_: yeah the genghises
15:06:08 <Koen_> oh you know them too?
15:06:27 <oerjan> i've read about them
15:11:38 <Bike> do you not have any thai places
15:11:39 <Bike> imo tragic.
15:13:51 <boily> Bike: outside of the rampant Thaï Express and Thaï Zone (poor quality fast-food pseudo Thai chains), there are what... only a handful of real joints?
15:14:08 <boily> Roujo: do you have experience with thai restaurants on the island?
15:14:19 <Bike> chains usually suck anyway though...
15:15:24 <boily> luckily, there's one near our offices that has incredible pad thai. otherwise, you need to go to chinese restaurants downtown.
15:16:07 <boily> hm. looks like Roujo is dead...
15:16:33 <boily> @tell Roujo ARRÊTE DE FAIRE L'IDLE, INFÂME ET ODIEUX PERSONNAGE QUE TU ES! :D
15:16:33 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
15:17:52 <oerjan> incredible bad thai, check
15:23:37 <boily> oerjan: bad experience with thai food?
15:26:31 <oerjan> not that i can recall. the vietnamese restaurant we had in trondheim some years ago wasn't anything to celebrate, though.

15:55:22 <boily> a coworker pointed out that `? duoids is absent from the list.
16:04:17 <Koen_> so this queue-based paradigm would do something such that    main() { a(); b(); }  a() { c(); d(); } b() { e(); f(); } would be executed as main() a() b() c() d() e() f()
16:06:53 <Koen_> say, a program is a sequence of statements
16:07:10 <Koen_> a statement is either a minimal statement (let's call that an axiom), or a function
16:07:24 <Koen_> and a function is itself a sequence of statements
16:08:01 <Koen_> at the beginning of execution, the sequence of statement that constitute the program is in a (FIFO) queue
16:08:33 <Koen_> and execution consists in dequeuing the first element, executing it if it's an atom, or appending its content to the queue if it's a function
16:11:15 <Koen_> you know what I'm gonna try to get a password and write that down on the wiki
16:14:55 <Koen_> "A reminder e-mail has been sent. "
16:15:03 <Koen_> not sure I believe you, computer

16:21:49 <Roujo> wat
16:22:18 <Roujo> boily: Off-island, yeah. Inochi, à Vaudreuil.
16:22:47 <Roujo> On island... no. I know a Japanese place or two, but no Thai.
16:22:55 <Roujo> Well, except Thai Express >_>

16:30:26 <Koen_> so I look at my emails and I GOT A NEW EMAIL on the right account
16:30:53 <Koen_> turned out it's an agora-discussion digest and not a fresh password for esolangs
16:33:14 <elliott> Koen_: it is a gmail address.
16:33:22 <elliott> and starts with ltn
16:33:23 <Koen_> yes it is
16:33:36 <elliott> hmm, maybe I broke password emails
16:33:50 <Koen_> they worked one week ago
16:33:58 * elliott tests.
16:34:01 <Koen_> well I remember it didn't work on the first try but I finally got a new password
16:34:03 <elliott> yes, I upgraded PHP since
16:34:11 <elliott> and messed with mail stuff
16:34:20 <elliott> ok, I got an email but it went to spam.
16:34:23 <elliott> so check there.
16:34:28 <Koen_> I don't have spam
16:35:22 <Koen_> I use thunderbird and it usually gets all the emails, including those that would appear into spam if I used gmail's page

16:53:07 <Koen_> now that's okay it worked
16:53:17 <Koen_> it was indeed in the spam filter
16:53:31 <Koen_> and now I feel like an idiot for not checking there earlier, but it's the first time it does that!
16:53:52 <Koen_> usually I don't care what's in the spam folder because I don't have such a folder when using thunderbird
16:54:11 <Koen_> buuuut for some reason thunderbird didn't take that message
16:56:54 <elliott> esolang stuff wasn't spam filtered before. I should fix it if I can (but I won't).
17:00:04 <Koen_> You should but you wouldn't, you can but you shan't

17:04:41 <boily> did you ask him the The Question?
17:04:45 <Roujo> Not really

17:04:59 <Roujo> Since it's pretty much esolang related, right?

17:06:03 <boily> that's why I nail my lettërs down, so that they don't move.
17:06:35 <Roujo> Good call
17:07:12 <Roujo> Oh, by the way - while learning myself a haskell might be for great good, I decided I should work instead =P
17:07:22 <Roujo> So that Project is Paused
17:12:21 <boily> you know you have learned haskell when your first impulse in the morning is to write a monad tutorial before breakfast.
17:13:32 <Roujo> I thus conclude that I have not
17:13:48 <Roujo> I think it's mostly because I don't see any use in it, I guess
17:14:10 <Roujo> So I'd be learning it for fun
17:14:24 <Roujo> But there are already other languages in that queue =P

18:56:47 <olsner> the pdf seems to be missing something there
18:56:56 <boily> nooodl: ah? lemme check.
18:57:01 <nooodl> that is a good entry
18:57:16 <boily> olsner: I went for a compromise for that one. piped through od, a little bit of formatting, and that's it.
18:57:27 <olsner> the missing s on morphism was reported yesterday already (!)
18:57:30 <boily> otherwise, I could have printed out a bunch of squares, but that'd be boring.
18:57:35 <boily> olsner: bleh.
18:57:54 <boily> there. the morphisms are plural now.
18:57:58 <olsner> tex doesn't have ௵?
18:58:02 <boily> and my weechat is completely borked.
18:58:27 <boily> olsner: it shows up as an unknown character in my terminal.
18:58:43 <boily> oh. tamil.
18:59:31 <olsner> U+0BF5 Tamil year sign, apparently
18:59:56 <elliott> pho isn't bolded properly
19:00:12 <boily> olsner: I'll tamilify bc, then.
19:00:20 <boily> elliott: working on that. missing font shapes...
19:01:06 <elliott> boily: phantom_+hoover needs code formatting for the HTML, and the qdb rules for the excerpt examples! and quit. for the /quit
19:03:00 <boily> olsner: hm. easier said than done. I have to go through itrans, it seems.
19:04:03 <boily> elliott: I tried to dodge having to do with lstlistings, but seems I have no choice. same thing for the qdb rules (probably just a \texttt{} for those). what about the /quit?
19:04:05 <olsner> perhaps there should be an appendix with notes about just how horrible it is to get the stuff into tex
19:04:31 <boily> olsner: I'll have a complaints chapter at the end. some entries are just plain vile.
19:05:16 <elliott> boily: also, I think the last entry in the pdf is misglyphed.
19:06:47 <olsner> oh, and one of the gashpachos is a *polish* szoup, that should be disflagrated from the hungarian one
19:07:13 <boily> elliott: oh! the enveloppy keyboard! I knew there was one there.
19:07:25 <boily> olsner: yeah, working on the disflagration.

19:09:37 <boily> I'll let y'all fix that. my weechat is REALLY borked.

19:13:38 <Roujo> boily: I don't even
19:14:04 <boily> olsner: bc is correct finally. the brokenness happened earlier.
19:14:05 <olsner> is escaping tex code hard in tex?

19:23:34 <Roujo> Not really
19:23:40 <Roujo> Just an escaped escaped sequence
19:25:03 <olsner> eh, it seems that people think tex quines should write themselves to tex's standard output or to a new tex file on disk, rather than into the typeset result

19:32:27 <nooodl> boily: huh, reading québécois french feels exactly like reading french back when i couldn't read french

19:36:31 <Koen_> le monde pourraient s'mêler? is that google translate?
19:37:21 <nooodl> this exchange was readable up until "patentes écrites mal amanchées" but maybe those are actual french words who knows
19:37:42 <boily> Koen_: «le monde» is plural this side of the Great Atlantic Puddle.
19:37:51 <Koen_> WHAT
19:38:02 <boily> nooodl: «patente»: thingamabob. «mal»: bad. «amanchées»: eeeeeh... let me think about that one.
19:38:15 <Koen_> nooodl: I confirm "écrites" and "mal" are actual french words
19:38:38 <olsner> écrites francais mal
19:38:48 <boily> Koen_: like in the expression: «le monde sont caves icitte ça a pas d'allure.»
19:38:59 <boily> olsner: yup :D
19:39:03 <Koen_> no no no
19:39:09 <boily> yes yes yes!
19:39:16 <olsner> mal mal mal

19:39:33 <nooodl> turns out it is... très effrayant
19:39:42 <Roujo> Effrayant en maudit, oui
19:40:14 <Roujo> Koen_: It's not plural, don't worry =P
19:40:18 <boily> «amancher» v.t.: to fit, to join together, usually in a hackish manner (probably involving some duct tape). to say that something is «mal amanché» means that it's shoddy, and threatens to collapse at any given moment.
19:40:34 <Roujo> Well
19:40:37 <Roujo> Not officially, anyway
19:40:48 <Roujo> But yeah, le monde sont cave

19:41:42 <nooodl> i knew that wouldn't be an actual thing
19:42:19 <boily> nooodl: en to start, de to chain. like an applicative functor, <$> at the beginning, then <*> between every sacre.
19:43:52 <boily> by the way, I lstlisted the Twenty Underscores Phantom Hoover.
19:44:19 <nooodl> can you write "effrayant en câlice de crisse de tabarnak" as "(|effrayant câlice crisse tabarnak|)" using the montréal québécois enhancement?

19:47:50 <boily> nearly.
19:48:15 <Roujo> So... no?
19:49:33 <boily> I just created a private github repo. could make it public if you want too.
19:53:11 <fizzie> Doesn't private github cost money or something? 
19:53:50 <boily> fizzie: yes. I already have a plan for private repos for other projects, so it's not an issue.
19:54:42 <boily> nooodl: I guess your github account is nooodl?
19:54:50 <nooodl> yeah

20:04:22 <oerjan> ah.
20:05:00 <oerjan> Koen_: your french frenchness is too anomalous in this channel. have you considered emigrating to canada, belgium or switzerland?

20:05:41 <boily> kmc: blëh.
20:05:41 <Koen_> oerjan: I lived near the border with switzerland for two years
20:05:55 <kmc> błəh
20:06:12 <oerjan> kmc: the thing boily quoted is norwegian dialect.
20:06:14 <Koen_> the people there were all about pronouncing 90 "nonante" instead of our fancy "quatre-vingt dix"
20:06:28 <Roujo> Oh god
20:06:31 <boily> Koen_: disgusting.
20:06:48 <oerjan> i hear the belgians do the same
20:06:48 <kmc> which dialect?
20:07:26 <oerjan> kmc: southern trøndelag, where trondheim is. (northern would be "fårrå" instead hth.)
20:07:59 <boily> it really is an hth loophole.
20:08:37 <Koen_> oerjan: we classy french people have three irregular fancy numbers; 70 is soixante-dix, 80 is quatre-vingt, 90 is quatre-vingt dix
20:09:03 <Koen_> and from what I understand, belgian have regular unfancy words for two of those numbers, and swiss people for all three
20:09:05 <Koen_> or the opposite

20:09:35 <oerjan> boily: the thing is, no one can explain exactly what "nålles" means so it _might_ be a hth loophole or not.
20:09:37 <Koen_> anyway I suggest not insulting a swiss (or belgian) by suggesting he might have all three when he's got only one or two
20:09:40 * boily bludgeons HackEgo with a hammer shark
20:09:54 <boily> oerjan: subtle. I like your technique.
20:10:44 <oerjan> Koen_: i do know how to count in (french) french
20:11:10 <Koen_> but do you know how to count in swiss and how to count in belgian?
20:11:19 <Koen_> can you tell swiss appart of belgian?

20:14:15 <oerjan> well i've heard about the septante, huitante and nonante or thereabouts thing but i didn't know there were subtleties in how many were used
20:15:21 <oerjan> boily: you may be looking for pastequotes
20:16:05 <oerjan> the middle might be octante i'm not sure
20:17:04 <Koen_> I thought that was octante
20:17:13 <Koen_> or maybe that's yet another difference between belgian and swiss
20:17:36 <Koen_> oh right you said that already
20:17:38 <boily> octante fell into disuse, and is now the bastardized huitante.
20:17:55 <Roujo> I just use huit-dix

20:19:28 <Roujo> boily: なに?
20:19:31 <oerjan> octo and octaginta are the original latin for 8 and 80, so it's just a matter of when/where you apply weird sound changes i think
20:19:47 <boily> Roujo: sûr que t'es pas un japonais?

20:32:00 <Roujo> Alright
20:32:00 <boily> `? roujo
20:32:03 <Roujo> I'll get right on it
20:32:13 <boily> HackEgo is snubbing me.
20:32:31 <HackEgo> No output.
20:32:33 <nooodl> you wanna go back here http://codu.org/projects/hackbot/fshg/index.cgi/rev/f6f3d9626c03
20:32:41 <Roujo> Yeah
20:32:42 <nooodl> `revert f6f3d9626c03
20:32:45 <HackEgo> Done.
20:32:56 <Roujo> I didn't realize that `ls cut off
20:32:56 <nooodl> `? you
20:32:58 <HackEgo> you a haskell
20:33:13 <Roujo> And generally goofed, methinks
20:33:19 <Roujo> Sorry, guys
20:33:49 <boily> no no no! don't feel sorry!
20:33:57 <nooodl> Roujo: replacing every single entry with "Cats are cool but should be illegal" might actually have been an enhancement to the wisdomdb.
20:34:05 <boily> that's the first time I seen somebody break HackEgo!
20:34:36 <Roujo> That's not exactly what I did, though. I just `run echo Cats are cool > /hackenv/bin/cat
20:34:36 <boily> `? roujo
20:34:38 <HackEgo> Roujo is a Java heretic leaning on ungrammatical Haskell. His claim to Canadianness is marred by an unholy portal to China. The treaties suffer, so the cocktail will be postponed.
20:34:39 <nooodl> (`run rm -rf /)
20:34:42 <Koen_> so I'll ask again
20:34:48 <Koen_> did someone break `learn ?
20:34:49 <Roujo> Which overrided /bin/cat, which is fine
20:34:55 <boily> Koen_: nah. nobody did.
20:35:13 <Roujo> But then catted over important stuff >_>
20:35:29 <boily> Koen_: besides, it's illegal.
20:35:30 <nooodl> <Roujo> Which overrided /bin/cat, which is fine <-- imo this probably isn't fine
20:35:38 <oerjan> Roujo: i think simply `rm bin/cat would have fixed it too
20:35:42 <Roujo> Well, temporarily
20:35:52 <Roujo> I was waiting for someone to notice it
20:36:01 <Roujo> But then I broke more stuff
20:36:05 <nooodl> ah
20:36:33 <oerjan> nooodl: you can always use the absolute path to get to the /bin ones.
20:37:08 <oerjan> also, we have already overridden `ls on purpose.
20:40:54 <oerjan> i used to occasionally check the repository history, but i've been too lazy recently.
20:41:46 <Koen_> hey just out of curiosity is it a common practice to add a directory of your own, say ~/bin, to PATH in a terminal? so you can have your programs accessible as commands
20:41:57 <fizzie> Yes.
20:42:14 <fizzie> Sometimes to the end instead of the front of PATH, though.
20:42:55 <Koen_> yes I thought it would be more prudent to add it to the end
20:43:20 <fizzie> (Also having it, say, as ~/local/bin, lets you install e.g. autoconf'd stuff in there with ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local.)
20:43:46 <oerjan> i've got it at the beginning, by the default setup at nvg's servers
20:43:47 <Koen_> not sure I get the subtlety of that
20:44:33 <fizzie> Well, I mean, if you install something with --prefix=$HOME, you end up with ugly ~/lib, ~/share and whatnot.
20:45:06 <oerjan> Koen_: if you're not root, and want to compensate for something being broken, then you definitely would want it at the beginning i think.
20:45:12 <Koen_> oh
20:45:18 <Koen_> okay
20:45:41 <Koen_> so I should put it at the end on my personal computer and at the beginning on my session at school?
20:45:49 <Koen_> sounds reasonable
20:45:54 <fizzie> I think it mostly depends on what you want to put there.
20:45:55 <oerjan> um this is not official guidance :P
20:46:05 <fizzie> You could even put one directory in front and another in back.
20:46:42 <Koen_> right
20:47:02 <Koen_> weeeeeell right now random functions I think are cool to have accessible in the shell
20:47:06 <Koen_> like fibonacci or whatever
20:47:08 <fizzie> The "~/local as an installation prefix" is often compounded with LD_LIBRARY_PATH of ~/local/lib, and maybe a PKG_CONFIG_PATH of ~/local/lib/pkgconfig, and assorted other such environment variables.

20:47:27 <nooodl> wow i've been using "alias" all my life
20:47:45 <oerjan> alias is cool too
20:47:49 <nooodl> instead of adding stuff to PATH i'd make an alias for it
20:48:23 <Koen_> I make aliases for stuff I'm too lazy to write
20:48:37 <Koen_> like gccw for gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror

20:52:24 <oerjan> heh i actually have irssi as an alias, because the setup here is such that the PATH contains first a directory with a much older version.  or at least did when i made the alias.  or maybe it was simply broken, i don't quite remember.
20:53:45 <Roujo> Remnants of simpler times
20:54:49 <oerjan> or rather remnants of the university developing its own multi-os package system way back in the 90's, which now on nvg's servers competes with the usual linux packages and are earlier in the PATH

21:20:27 <oerjan> Roujo: subtle. maybe too subtle.
21:22:02 <oerjan> Bike: the thing is, you don't actually need to test equality to 0 for the absolute value.
21:22:36 <Phantom__Hoover> you do need to establish whether a number is nonpositive or nonnegative though
21:22:41 <oerjan> no.
21:23:17 <oerjan> you need to establish _either_ x < epsilon or x > -epsilon for epsilon your asked for accuracy level.
21:23:23 <oerjan> and you can do that.
21:23:56 <oerjan> hm, or maybe epsilon/2
21:24:09 <Phantom__Hoover> ...yes, and if x=0 both of those will be false for any epsilon
21:24:22 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: NO.
21:24:29 <oerjan> they're both true.
21:24:36 <Phantom__Hoover> ...right

21:29:22 <nooodl> help what is computability even
21:30:19 <Bike> bull shit
21:30:21 <oerjan> nooodl: you mean in general, or for reals?
21:30:38 <nooodl> fo' realz yo.
21:31:04 <Bike> also i don't know if weierstrass is computable
21:31:19 <Bike> can't even think of a continuous uncomputable function
21:32:16 <nooodl> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_real_function is it this kind of computable
21:33:11 <nooodl> how do you even prove some function is uncomputable
21:33:20 <oerjan> nooodl: wtf
21:33:23 <Fiora> reduce it to the halting problem?
21:33:49 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving).
21:33:49 <Fiora> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undecidable_problems  or I guess any of these
21:33:57 <Fiora> but I'm guessing almost all of those were proven by reduction to the halting problem?
21:34:13 <Bike> it can be easier
21:34:23 <Bike> like, the indicator function for 0 is uncomputable
21:34:29 <Fiora> indicator?
21:34:38 <Bike> f(0) = 1, f(anything else) = 0
21:34:41 <Fiora> oh
21:34:55 <Fiora> is that uncomputable for other nujmbers other than zero?  like
21:34:59 <Fiora> f(1) = 1, f(anything else) = 0
21:35:03 <Bike> yep
21:35:21 <Bike> since you need infinite accuracy to determine if two numbers are equal
21:35:27 <oerjan> nooodl: i don't see the point of that sequence stuff...
21:35:41 <oerjan> i guess there are subtleties.
21:35:44 <Fiora> but doesn't that mean that it's O(N) in the size of the input?
21:35:45 <Fiora> that seems pretty computable
21:36:10 <Bike> the "size of the input" as in digits, you  mean?
21:36:15 <Bike> because that ain't gonna fly with pi
21:36:20 <oerjan> i expect weierstrass is computable, anyway.
21:36:28 <Fiora> ?
21:36:38 <Bike> what?
21:36:43 <Fiora> I don't understand, sorry >_<
21:36:51 <Bike> well, what did you mean by "the size of the input"
21:37:01 <Fiora> um... in data?  any representation you want I guess? >_<
21:37:08 <Fiora> you have a turing machine that takes an input and generates output
21:37:32 <shachaf> which input are you talking about
21:37:40 <Bike> well, say your computable function is f(n) = the nth digit of the real
21:38:04 <shachaf> you could say that a real number is an infinite stream of bits or something
21:38:08 <Fiora> "1.000000000000.....1" 
21:38:09 <Fiora> erm
21:38:13 <Fiora> sorry, accidental up-enter
21:38:36 <Fiora> sorry     I guess I just don't really get why it's not computable if you have to read the input to generate an output...
21:38:43 <Fiora> by that logic, like, sorting an array isn't computable...
21:38:44 <oerjan> a computable real _number_ is basically a function which gives you for any n a rational number within 1/n of it.
21:38:57 <shachaf> Fiora: well, the function has to check whether its input is equal to 1
21:39:09 <Fiora> so it has to read N digits of its input
21:39:12 <Fiora> then it answers your question?
21:39:14 <shachaf> What's N?
21:39:18 <Fiora> the size of your input...
21:39:25 <shachaf> The input is an infinite stream of bits.
21:39:30 <Fiora> that.... that doesn't make any sense
21:39:36 <Fiora> by that logic sorting isn't computable!!
21:39:46 <Bike> what's the size of an infinite stream?
21:39:48 <shachaf> real numbers don't make sense hth
21:39:54 <Fiora> because if your input is an infinite stream of bits, you can't sort it either
21:40:01 <oerjan> Fiora: computable real numbers are programs, not simple data.
21:40:04 <nooodl> man how are real numbers even defined
21:40:09 <nooodl> i've never spent a whole lot of time thinking about this
21:40:11 <Bike> nooodl: dedekind cuts
21:40:19 <Bike> or cauchy sequences.
21:40:34 <shachaf> Fiora: Well, how often do you sort the bits in a number?
21:40:37 <Bike> Fiora: well, yes, why would sorting an infinite stream be computable?
21:40:38 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
21:40:44 <Fiora> so... sorting isn't computable either...
21:40:47 <Fiora> um... is anything computable?
21:40:48 <Bike> a /finite/ stream is doable, of course
21:41:03 <shachaf> Lots of things are computable.
21:41:04 <Fiora> I guess things with no dependency on input are computable...
21:41:06 <Bike> Fiora: sorting is computable, sorting the digits of an arbitrary real (a very different and kind of weird operation) not so much
21:41:07 -!- copumpkin has joined.
21:41:11 <Fiora> but I didn't say that ._.
21:41:21 <Fiora> I just said... sorting an input
21:41:23 <shachaf> You can do things within any particular precision you want.
21:41:36 <Fiora> gah nevermind everyone's just ignoring me...
21:41:37 <shachaf> Fiora: You can't even in general check whether two real numbers are equal.
21:41:54 <shachaf> So things like sorting are a problem.
21:42:04 <oerjan> Fiora: sorting is computable actually, but you have to do it by computing maxima and minima _instead_ of testing for < = >
21:42:35 <oerjan> sort [a, b] = [min a b, max a b]
21:42:56 <Phantom__Hoover> what are we doing now
21:43:09 <Bike> annoying fiora with three explanations of different things at once
21:43:10 <shachaf> Oh, well, OK.
21:43:20 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: i'm showing that sorting a list of computable real numbers is computable, even though you cannot compare them.
21:43:25 <oerjan> *finite list
21:43:31 <shachaf> oerjan: what about a stable sort hth
21:43:38 <Bike> hth is dead
21:43:42 <oerjan> shachaf: sorry, no deal.
21:43:44 <Bike> long live something else
21:44:00 <kmc> btw I thought of a continuous function which is almost everywhere uncomputable
21:44:05 <Bike> yeah?
21:44:10 <kmc> a triangle wave is continuous right? (not differentiable though)
21:44:13 <Phantom__Hoover> f(x) = x?
21:44:19 <Phantom__Hoover> uh
21:44:20 <kmc> no I mean even on computable inputs
21:44:24 <Phantom__Hoover> right
21:44:40 <nooodl> kmc: yeah
21:44:44 <kmc> so say that the function on [n,n+1] is a triangle up to +1 if the nth turing machine halts, and a triangle down to -1 if it doesn't
21:44:46 <Phantom__Hoover> kmc, it's almost everywhere differentiable
21:45:08 <Phantom__Hoover> diabolical
21:45:19 <nooodl> that's a good function
21:45:21 <kmc> thx
21:45:31 <nooodl> could easily make it everywhere differentiable, too
21:45:37 <kmc> yeah
21:46:12 <nooodl> (i guess you could just integrate that)
21:48:17 <Phantom__Hoover> so wait is the weirstrass function computable
21:48:27 <Phantom__Hoover> (the blancmange function is better anyway
21:48:31 <Phantom__Hoover> )
21:48:40 -!- yorick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
21:53:18 <oerjan> oh hm, there's a simpler example of a continuous function that is nowhere computable: the function f(x) = c where c is any uncomputable real.
21:53:28 <kmc> heh
21:54:15 <Bike> derp.
21:54:38 <nooodl> oerjan: i was literally thinking of that but i thought it was too obvious and i don't know anything about this stuff anyway
21:55:35 <oerjan> kmc's function has, i think, the advantage that it's rational for rational numbers, so sort of the opposite of this.
22:02:04 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: the weierstrass function is defined as a uniformly convergent sequence of computable functions where you can with low complexity calculate all the bounds involved, i'm pretty sure it must be computable.
22:02:16 <oerjan> *convergent series
22:02:21 <Phantom__Hoover> this is why blancmange is better!
22:06:58 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: the graphical construction section seems to imply that blancmange is the sum of a series of triangle waves, so i'll hazard a guess it's computable just the same.
