04:47:26 <Sgeo> I used to try to make paradises for Norns that arrived in my worlds from other people. Can you believe I actually poured antibacterial agents on incoming norns???
04:48:08 <Sgeo> (There's actually a reason to not do that besides 'not doing that sounds potentially mean' --- travelling to another person's world doesn't transfer bacteria)
05:00:13 <oklopol> did you know that?
05:00:25 <Sgeo> Not when I did it, but I learned/realized it later
05:00:56 <Sgeo> When I first started playing Creatures, I saw a norn hitting a toy, but I didn't realize it was a toy. I thought it was another creature, so I slapped the norn
05:01:19 <oklopol> and that's when it all started
05:01:40 <Sgeo> I've put norn brains in the useless body of the toy
05:01:42 <oklopol> didn't take long till you would hit them even if they didn't hit toys

06:57:45 <shachaf> Bike: wait which one was your definition of continuity again
06:59:34 <Bike> the shitty one, or the one i copied from wikipedia?
07:00:15 <kmc> can't it be both
07:00:27 <Bike> the wikipedia one wasn't shitty.
07:00:40 <shachaf> the wikipedia one
07:00:45 <shachaf> was it with neighborhoods
07:01:37 <Bike> "f is continuous at some point x ∈ X if and only if for any neighborhood V of f(x), there is a neighborhood U of x such that f(U) ⊆ V"
07:01:49 <shachaf> where neighborhood isn't required to be open?
07:01:55 <shachaf> why not
07:02:54 <Bike> preimages of closed sets have to be closed anyway i guess
07:06:53 <shachaf> so i was reading about vaguely-hinting-at-pointless things in a book and now i want to figure out why the idea of a neighborhood even makes sense
07:07:13 <shachaf> when you define a thing with an arbitrary lattice rather than a set of open sets
07:07:42 <shachaf> (well, not arbitrary. a frame.)
07:08:43 <shachaf> anyway now the definition of continuity is obvious, it's just a structure-preserving thing such that knowing f(x) : Y doesn't give you any new information you couldn't get from x : X
07:09:02 <shachaf> and it goes backwards because, like, that's totally sensible and stuff
07:10:15 <shachaf> on the other hand neighborhoods aren't sensible anymore so help

07:32:47 <oerjan> @tell oklopol <oklopol> however, presumably two unlimited cells are turing complete <-- i sincerely doubt it, my construction for three cells is related to two cell minsky but needs the extra cell to get around the limited flow control.

07:35:14 <oerjan> @tell oklopol and even then i had to discover conway's collatz functions to get relatively satisfactory control flow in _that_. basically problem is (1) whenever you exit a loop one cell _must_ be 0 (2) you cannot enter a loop based on a cell being zero, without extra cells.

08:21:10 <oklopol> oerjan: oh cool maybe someone should prove that brainfuck with two cells is not universal
08:21:42 <oerjan> hm
08:23:55 <oklopol> say,for brainfuck with k cells, we say the language of a program is the set of numbers n such that (n,0,0,...,0) (where we have k-1 zeroes) eventually halts
08:24:25 <oklopol> from what k on is there a bf program with re-complete language?
08:24:36 <oerjan> definitely k <= 3
08:24:45 <oklopol> okay, just wanted to check i formalized this sensibly
08:24:58 <oerjan> assuming you can do reencoding of n before starting.
08:25:04 <oklopol> ?
08:25:14 <oerjan> or wait
08:25:17 <oklopol> what does that mean
08:25:28 <oerjan> no, you can do that inside bf with 3 cells too.
08:25:50 <oklopol> re-complete with respect to just general 1-1 reductions by turing machines, say
08:26:11 <oklopol> so okay, k <= 3.
08:26:17 <oklopol> what's it for k = 1?
08:26:31 <oerjan> oklopol: just that since the method depends on converting via fractran, you want an original n encoded as 3*2^n or something equivalently handleable. but you can do that conversion inside bf.
08:26:44 <oklopol> for re-completeness, what does that matter
08:26:58 <oerjan> it doesn't.
08:27:31 <oklopol> i guess it matters if you want some sensible set of (unary) languages i guess
08:27:50 <oklopol> i'm definitely interested in what the exact set is for unary
08:27:53 <oerjan> for k=1 you cannot use >< at all (at best they wrap around to the same cell), so you have a balanced bf program with one cell, which is basically a linear loop at most
08:27:58 <oerjan> (i think)
08:27:59 <oklopol> is it just regular?
08:28:26 <oklopol> hmm
08:28:58 <oklopol> yeah okay err
08:29:09 <oklopol> a loop without inner loops
08:29:14 <oerjan> oh hm well
08:29:19 <oklopol> will either increment of decrement
08:29:28 <oerjan> if you have a loop, then you either never halt it it, or halt with 0.
08:29:31 <oerjan> *-it
08:29:32 <oklopol> if it increments, then we're in trouble
08:29:35 <oklopol> yes
08:29:50 <oerjan> so all depends on the first loop.
08:30:15 <oklopol> yes
08:30:16 <oerjan> before it, you can do some +-constant
08:30:33 <oerjan> or wait
08:30:44 <oklopol> actually i guess all depends on what happens before we first exit a []?
08:31:08 <oerjan> right, i just realized that's not necessarily the same ] in all cases
08:31:13 <oklopol> oh.
08:31:50 <oerjan> [-[-[-]]] e.g.
08:32:08 <oklopol> true
08:32:21 <oklopol> so there are finitely many states which you can enter, depending on the number
08:32:38 <oklopol> (the states after exitting some [])
08:32:47 <oklopol> (state being program counter value)
08:33:08 <oklopol> and at that point your counter is 0
08:33:11 <oerjan> if you have ]+], that loop will never halt.
08:33:16 <oerjan> and similar
08:33:35 <oerjan> well, if it's entered at all
08:33:54 <lifthrasiir> do you all assume that ++[--->+<] never halts?
08:34:13 <oerjan> lifthrasiir: we're dealing with a single cell right now
08:34:19 <lexande> kmc: i don't, but maybe i should
08:34:21 <oerjan> no <>
08:34:25 <oklopol> we should probably specify whether we can go under 0
08:34:29 <lifthrasiir> oh wait, a single cell?
08:34:30 <oklopol> might matter
08:34:41 <oerjan> lifthrasiir: also, it is unbounded, so no wrapping
08:35:21 <oerjan> lifthrasiir: we were just trying to find out exactly what can be the halting condition of a single cell bf program
08:35:30 <oklopol> so err
08:36:06 <oklopol> we encounter the first ] depending solely on n up to a threshold, right
08:36:19 -!- Tod-Autojoined has joined.
08:36:27 <oklopol> like we might encounter different ] first, depending on which loops are skipped, but if n is big, then we'll necessarily go inside all.
08:36:41 <oklopol> when we meet the first ], i guess we're done?
08:37:01 <oerjan> hm seems so, the rest is just tracing the result from a 0
08:37:06 <oklopol> because you'll be in that loop, and what happens depends only on n (might look at parity if you can go under 0)
08:37:16 <oklopol> yeah
08:37:35 <oklopol> so i think you get finite languages or languages with finite complement if you can't go under 0
08:37:52 <oerjan> um i was assuming unbounded negative too...
08:37:59 <oklopol> then err
08:38:51 <oklopol> maybe you then get something like n = a + bm for some m, modulo getting to choose first k values arbitrarily
08:39:06 <lifthrasiir> well, first assume that (x) translates to x +s when x>0, x -s when x<0, or nothing when x=0. and {X} code {Y} means that if X holds for the initial state then after code runs Y holds for the current state (or may enter an infinite loop). then {cell=x} (n) {cell=x+n}, {cell=x} [(n)] {sign(cell)+sign(n)=0 and (n=0 or cell%n=0)}.
08:39:49 <oklopol> (big enough n will necessarily bump into the first ] in the program, and from that on you either halt or don't, on that it depends whether you get the arithmetic sequence a + bm. finitely many values of n might behave differently.)
08:39:59 <oerjan> and no, we don't just get that. we get modulo conditions, e.g. [---] halts on n == 0 (mod 3)
08:40:10 <lifthrasiir> oerjan, and n >= 0.
08:40:18 <oklopol> so a = 0 and b = 3 in n = a + bm
08:40:23 <oerjan> (sorry if you already said that, i got disconnected for a moment)
08:40:40 <oklopol> i gave a conjecture about the case where you can go negative, with a proof sketch

08:41:04 <oklopol> i don't know what lifthrasiir is saying
08:41:17 <lifthrasiir> [---] halts on n >= 0 and n == 0 (mod 3).
08:41:24 <lifthrasiir> (since the cell is unbounded)
08:41:48 <lifthrasiir> or, are you asking for the {cell=x} ... things?
08:41:48 <oklopol> so a = 0 and b = 3 in n = a + bm
08:42:13 <oklopol> (m goes over naturals)
08:42:23 <oklopol> lifthrasiir: i don't know what you proved
08:42:39 <lifthrasiir> oklopol, no, I didn't prove anything, I'm just trying to formalize things a bit

08:44:41 <oklopol> oerjan: big enough n will necessarily bump into the first ] in the program, and from that on you either halt or don't, depending on whether n is in the arithmetic sequence of things that go to 0. you take that arithmetic sequence in the language if the program halts from that point, with counter value 0. finitely many values of n might behave differently.

08:55:45 <oklopol> x is dangerous
08:55:50 <oerjan> wat
08:55:55 <oklopol> IT'S A VARIABLE LOL
08:55:59 <oerjan> O KAY
08:56:00 <oklopol> but yeah it's good
08:56:08 <oklopol> it looks like an eXchange of counters too
08:57:25 <oerjan> now we can do the usual multiplication by a constant stuff like [-<+++++>]
08:57:36 <oklopol> yes
08:58:57 <oklopol> hmm
08:59:16 <oklopol> isn't the first ] we hit in any case the same when n is large enough
08:59:41 <oerjan> and in an innermost loop, [--<+++++>] with all parts optional is basically the same.
08:59:51 <oerjan> oklopol: i think that is true independent of number of cells
08:59:56 <oklopol> true
09:00:03 <oerjan> *is basically all we can have
09:00:07 <oklopol> i'm just wondering if we should start there
09:00:20 <oklopol> but err, what do you mean basically the same
09:00:54 <oerjan> um i corrected that
09:01:13 <oerjan> i got confused and pressed enter with an unfinished sentence
09:02:25 <oerjan> [--<+++++>] either fails to halt, or adds 5/2 of the initial cell to the other, clearing the first.
09:02:27 <oklopol> so we have two kinds of non-nested loops: 1) balanced ones: ones that hang up if n is not in a particular arithmetic sequence cm, m in \N, and otherwise zero n and multiply the other counter by dn/c
09:02:35 <oklopol> err
09:02:53 <oklopol> multiplies it by that you mean, or are you thinking of Q with multiplication with additive notation
09:03:13 <oklopol> 2) unbalanced ones
09:03:15 <oklopol> what do they do
09:03:20 <oerjan> um it's basically the same as what you said in (1)
09:03:32 <oklopol> yes, just wanted to know why you said add
09:03:33 <oerjan> well i dunno quite
09:03:43 -!- Bike has joined.
09:03:45 <oerjan> however, hm
09:04:10 <oerjan> one interesting fact: all loops after the first to exit will have a cell with a known value.
09:04:38 <oerjan> or hm
09:04:39 <oklopol> ?
09:04:41 <FireFly> Is this two-infinitely-huge-cells brainfuck?
09:04:44 <oerjan> well not inside.
09:04:44 <oklopol> yes
09:04:59 <oerjan> but before you start a later loop, one of the cells is known
09:05:31 <oerjan> or hm
09:05:37 <oklopol> i'm not following you!
09:05:42 <oerjan> if you have something like [..[....]...]
09:05:47 <oklopol> okay
09:05:53 <oklopol> ... never contains [ or ]
09:05:59 <oerjan> after the inner loop ends, a cell is known to be zero.
09:06:18 <oklopol> true.
09:06:21 <oerjan> so that cell has known value from there on to the next ]
09:06:27 <oklopol> oh true
09:06:43 <oerjan> *next ] or [
09:07:00 <oklopol> so um
09:07:14 <oklopol> i get the feeling that only one of the counters will have a big value after the first ] is met
09:07:28 <oklopol> like ever
09:07:38 <oerjan> yes, that's also true
09:07:54 <oklopol> (trivially, but i mean maybe that's important and we should like call that n and think of which counter it is in as a state, or something)
09:07:55 <oerjan> iirc i thought a big of this stuff back when i was doing the 3-cell thing.
09:08:10 <oerjan> *bit
09:08:24 <oerjan> possibly a big bit
09:08:32 <oerjan> but definitely not all the way through
09:09:11 <oerjan> now that you mention it, the idea of treating the small counter as a state also rings a bell
09:09:25 <oklopol> great minds think alike
09:09:48 <oklopol> when it comes to trivial things
09:09:53 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
09:10:10 <oerjan> or well, i don't think it's entirely true. they might still get big in a non-halting way.
09:10:22 <oklopol> sure
09:10:39 <oklopol> but i prefer thinking as such loops as LOOP FOREVER LOL instructions
09:10:44 <oklopol> *of
09:10:45 <oerjan> like, [-->--<] can loop indefinitely even if one cell starts zero
09:10:54 <oklopol> hmm
09:11:20 <oerjan> however, after a ] until the next ]/[ this holds.

09:13:37 <oklopol> what does that do
09:13:41 <oklopol> oh dear.
09:14:42 <oerjan> i was thinking if everything was still arithmetic sequences, then this popped up
09:15:01 <oklopol> yeah that seems to work
09:15:16 <oerjan> *-[+[--x-x]x-] :P
09:16:01 <oklopol> perhaps we are in the presence of a legendary beast, thinking it's a koala
09:16:18 <oerjan> OKAY
09:17:32 <oerjan> oh hm
09:18:24 <oklopol> perhaps it's just that you can do trivial checks for factors
09:18:36 <oklopol> and factor exchange
09:18:38 <oerjan> it might be possible to get rid of nonbalanced loops by replacing ]x stuff with ]x[-x+] stuff
09:18:50 <oerjan> erm
09:19:02 <oklopol> er
09:19:05 <oerjan> *with ]x[-x+x]x stuff
09:19:32 <oerjan> because you don't actually care _which_ cell is zero, mostly.

19:05:30 <AnotherTest> ... and it gets published
19:06:36 <boily> bugs do have to originate from somewhere. you weren't thinking that they just appeared out of nowhere in production code?
19:07:02 <boily> it takes many man-hours to produce good quality, free-range bugs.
19:07:15 <AnotherTest> no, they made a "logical" mistake in the pseudocode
19:07:47 <AnotherTest> this paper looks at if it hasn't been read by anyone at all
19:07:59 <AnotherTest> but it was on IEEE
19:08:09 <boily> mass-producing cheap bug knock-offs amateurs.
19:08:22 <AnotherTest> "Modified integer factorization algorithm using V-Factor method"
19:08:34 <AnotherTest> also has some typos etc
19:08:40 <AnotherTest> I think it's for a conference

19:12:24 <AnotherTest> well I haven't really thought about writing a paper or anything either

19:19:53 <Slereah> Oh god
19:20:00 <Slereah> Plankalkül is so gross
19:20:22 <shachaf> oerjan: right but why do neighborhoods even make sense

19:22:58 <boily> Slereah: why is it gross? I like it.
19:24:02 <Slereah> It's not abstract enough to have the beauty of some abstract notation, but not computery enough to look like some serious machine code
19:25:53 <oerjan> <Bike> preimages of closed sets have to be closed anyway i guess <-- um that's yet another definition of (global) continuity
19:28:48 <boily> the sweet-and-sour spot of Baudot encoded languages.
19:29:28 <Bike> oerjan: that's wh at i meant, yes
19:29:34 <oerjan> shachaf: in the one definition, a neighborhood is just an open set containing your chosen point, which are important for being able to say anything local to a point. in the other definition where they aren't open, neigborhoods of a point form a _filter_, which is important as one way to generalize what you take limits in.
19:30:25 <shachaf> ok my book talks about that so i'll read about that??
19:30:29 <shachaf> thx
19:31:36 <shachaf> oerjan: why does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_filter redirect to an article that says "Hence, most additional information on this topic (including the definition of maximal filters and prime filters) is to be found in the article on ideals."
19:32:29 -!- MindlessDrone has joined.
19:34:55 <oerjan> shachaf: well the article on ideals doesn't seem to define them either.
19:35:52 <oerjan> hm well i guess it does.
19:36:15 <shachaf> maybe you need to read the thing that says that an ideal is dual to a filter before that makes sense

22:24:46 <Bike> i think i'm seriously considering memoizing a function over all possible floats.

22:26:08 <Bike> because calling it a billion times takes twenty seconds and i'd rather it not.
22:26:25 <FireFly> Oh, memoizing
22:26:53 <FireFly> I was thinking of making a LUT for all possible floats
22:27:22 <`^_^v> how do you memoize a function over all possible floats

22:27:37 <Bike> you don't, it's stupid
22:27:52 <`^_^v> i'm just trying to figure out what that means
22:28:00 <`^_^v> cause it sounds like you want to precalculate, not memoize
22:28:11 <Bike> whatever.
22:28:21 <mrhmouse> it sounds like he wants to do both
22:28:31 <Bike> it sounds like everything is terrible!
22:28:32 <FireFly> couldn't you use something hashmappy to map floats to values? it seems like it'd be easy to write a good hash function for floats
22:28:39 <FireFly> I think
22:29:16 <Bike> i think i need better metrics. draw up a distribution of the billion values this is called on
22:30:50 <mrhmouse> anything that floats and isn't a duck is clearly a witch and I don't trust it
22:33:50 <FireFly> No no, it just has to weigh the same as a duck, obviously

23:00:11 <olsner> hmm, as in books?
23:02:19 <ais523> I think it's a corruption of the Latin for "pound"
23:02:32 <ais523> but I can't remember exactly how it's spelt
23:03:01 <FireFly> Wikipedia says "The unit is descended from the Roman libra (hence the abbreviation "lb"); the name pound is a Germanic adaptation of the Latin phrase libra pondo, 'a pound by weight'"
23:03:59 <FireFly> As far as I can tell 'libra' as a unit of weight originated in Latin
