14:06:09 <fizzie> I think if you normalize columns of D in #3 one way it becomes equivalent to #4. And just plain normalizing them by scaling each independently would result in one more method.
14:31:58 <fizzie> Or maybe not quite equivalent; counting losses could be equivalent to counting wins because symmetry, but #3 looks at the sum (wins - losses) instead. I guess there's a lot of slightly different variants possible here.

14:55:34 <fizzie> Except I don't implement it via eigenvalues because (AFAIK, anyway) there may be more than one eigenvector with an eigenvalue of 1, and I don't think it's possible to tell which of them (if there are several) the initial uniform distribution will converge to.

15:51:16 <fizzie> elliott: As for #3 vs. #4, I don't rightly know. If #3 would fit in the same "transition matrix" mold as #4 does, then you could just look as to how those differ, but I don't think it can quite be mangled to fit.
15:51:20 <fizzie> Though one difference is that #3 looks at the sum of +1/-1 points while #4 looks only at the number of wins/losses. So in #3, having A-vs-B results of, say, "30 wins, 10 losses and 2 ties" is indistinguishable from "20 wins and 22 ties" (30-10 == 20); in #4 those are different.
15:52:47 <elliott> so #3 is closer to the system I proposed ages back, in a sense

17:03:03 <myname> you cannot write a program that halts if its input does not halt
17:03:05 <mroman_> even though it's infinitely long, but that doesn't stop you from inspecting the begin of the tap
17:03:44 <mroman_> well obviously you can't solve the halting problem with this
17:04:00 <mroman_> i.e. a mybf program can't state for any bf program whether it halts or not
17:04:08 <mroman_> however, it can do so for any mybf program
17:04:24 <mroman_> i.e. it can state about itself whether it will halt or not
17:04:31 <fizzie> mroman_: It can't say whether any mybf program is "done", i.e., whether it will still do something to the tape or not.
17:04:55 <mroman_> fizzie: for all we know @ increments every cell on the tape
17:05:22 <mroman_> but let's just assume it loops without doing anything
17:06:25 <mroman_> you won't know when it's done doing observable things

17:34:28 <fizzie> More great new TLDs: ".website".
17:34:41 <fizzie> For "www.whatever.website".
17:34:47 <Bike> well, you wouldn't accidentally want to buy a phone number instaed.
17:35:23 <Bike> or, maybe if you want to make a website about a website!
17:36:22 <fizzie> [[ We are aware of the issue of universal acceptability and accept that some incorrectly configured third-party software may consider ʺ.websiteʺ to be an invalid string, in the same way that other TLDs such as ʺ.infoʺ and “.museumʺ are also at times considered ʺinvalid.ʺ We will work to raise awareness of the issue of universal acceptance of .website and other new gTLDs. CentralNic ...
17:36:28 <fizzie> ... has previously contributed to these efforts, such as by publication of TLD Verification code for the PHP programming language. ]]
17:36:40 <fizzie> Ah, here's the "mission/purpose" part.
17:36:50 <fizzie> "The mission of the .Website TLD is to serve as a home on the Internet for users across the world. .Website aims to be a generic TLD with no preconception of meaning whatsoever, no theme, no categorizations, no restrictions of use. .Website does not restrict its scope to businesses (.Biz), commercial websites (.Com), or organizations (.Org). Unlike country TLDs (ccTLDs), it is not associated ...
17:36:51 <Bike> firefox nowadays just assumes anything with a dot in it is a url, i think
17:36:56 <fizzie> ... with any country or region, .Website is a truly global TLD."
17:37:14 <Bike> it's a TLD about nothing!
17:37:21 <fizzie> "What you can do on .Website can be limited only by your imagination, which is in fact, infinite. .Website is your Home on the Internet, where you can be free, comfortable; express what you want to say, what you think. Or share interests, knowledge, or simply post information about your business, and interact with clients. .Website says nothing; it is a blank canvas for the users to paint on."
17:37:30 <Bike> oh right, this is the zombocom tld.
17:37:34 <elliott> oh c'mon, it should be .internet if they want it totally generic.
17:37:41 <fizzie> It's only limited by your imagination, which is in fact, infinite.
17:37:50 <elliott> in fact, you can point a domain at your intranet, right?
17:37:55 <elliott> ...I feel like I've made these exact points before.
17:38:04 <Bike> http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/ThePitch.htm
17:38:19 <fizzie> "For users of the Internet, .Website brings many possibilities. Since you don’t have a preconceived notion of what to expect, you can come across websites ranging from those of hobbyists, to entrepreneurs, to artists, kids, photographers, mums, geeks, what not."
17:38:54 <fizzie> They "positively believe" it will "invite innovation and fresh possibilities at a global level".
17:39:08 <Bike> they paid like ten thousand earth dollars for this, yes?
17:39:39 <fizzie> I think it was more like a hundred thousand.
17:39:45 <Phantom_Hoover> you're surprised? the dot com boom wat a thing that happened, after all
17:39:54 <fizzie> "The initial price to apply for a new gTLD was $185,000."
17:39:58 <Bike> it needs to hurry up and happen again
17:40:32 <elliott> Bike: what do you have against .moe??
17:41:06 <Bike> moe is focused. sharp. relevant to today's youth. it will survive the coming apocalypse by hook and crook.
17:41:31 <fizzie> Then again, сайт (Russian for "site") was one of the first ones they granted.
17:41:35 <Bike> I mean, look at http://420.moe. There is no possible objection to this website. It is a Platonic ideal of websites.
17:41:47 <fizzie> There's 5 applications in the queue for "site" too.
17:42:43 <fizzie> I see that .youtube, .chrome, .nexus, .gle, .gmail and such got delecated recently too.
17:43:06 <fizzie> There's also the .new and .here if you want more generic terms.
17:43:41 <fizzie> goo.gle has address 127.0.53.53
17:43:41 <fizzie> goo.gle mail is handled by 10 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.gle.
17:45:06 <fizzie> "The mission of the proposed gTLD, .gle is to make the worldʹs information universally accessible and useful through the streamlined provision of Google services. The purpose of the proposed gTLD is to provide a dedicated Internet space in which Google can continue to innovate on its Internet offerings. Specifically, the new gTLD will augment Googleʹs offerings through existing registries, ...
17:45:12 <fizzie> ... provide Google with greater ability to categorize its present online locations around the world, and provide a more recognizable, branded, trusted web space to both the general Internet population and Google employees."
17:45:41 <fizzie> I guess they're still being set up.
17:46:04 <fizzie> "www.youtube" resolves to the same 127.0.53.53 + MX your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.youtube for me.
17:46:20 <fizzie> Also, that address just looks so incomplete somehow.
17:46:34 <Bike> eventually youtube.com is abandoned to squatters
17:46:42 <elliott> I like how Prominent Brands snap up their trademarks in all the new TLDs, so e.g. there is google.moe and microsoft.ninja
17:47:59 <fizzie> There's a http://microsoft.dating/ but it just redirects to a bing search on "microsoft".
17:48:46 <fizzie> Host microsoft.cool not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) "ha ha"
17:48:49 <Bike> in case you were unaware of miccrosoft
17:52:18 <pikhq> http://youtube/ should exist.
17:53:04 <fizzie> There was an Official Opinion about not putting out A/AAAA records for naked TLDs.
17:53:53 <elliott> I think the new TLDs aren't allowed to do it?
17:53:55 <elliott> but some old ones still do.
17:53:59 <pikhq> What about CNAMEs?
17:54:04 <fizzie> $ dig +noall +answer youtube txt
17:54:04 <fizzie> youtube. 3533 IN TXT "Your DNS configuration needs immediate attention see https://icann.org/namecollision"
17:54:47 <fizzie> I remember reading that a CNAME in the root of a zone was the worst possible thing to do, back when reading about DNS for the first time.
17:55:22 <Bike> huh, http://biz/ is life alert's official website
17:55:35 <Bike> which is a .com, is that ironic
17:55:45 <fizzie> That doesn't work in my browser.
17:57:06 <fizzie> dig only gets the usual NS (and DNSSEC) records for "biz."
17:57:41 <Bike> oh, my browser treats http://foo/ as foo.com.

18:12:34 <fizzie> It's an "International Business Company" registered in the Republic of Seychelles.
18:12:36 <Bike> and org. is w3.org...
18:14:59 <Gregor> Apparently .phd will exist.
18:15:09 <Gregor> For the academic elite who want that extra token of dickishness.
18:15:20 <fizzie> .university already does. Don't know how many universities have one.
18:15:28 <fizzie> Ours doesn't, at least.
18:15:41 <Gregor> Why would they? It's loony.
18:15:45 <Bike> i'm just gonna get a domain from montserrat
18:15:55 <Gregor> Besides, many nations have a standard for university domains that's actually controlled.
18:18:52 <fizzie> The .ac.uk domains are often nice and terse. Like the University of Sheffield have shef.ac.uk. (Though apparently that redirects to sheffield.ac.uk; how verbose.)
18:20:24 <fizzie> And www.cl.cam.ac.uk and so on.
18:20:43 <fizzie> I guess the thought goes, they've got that extra suffix, they have to be frugal with the rest of the domain name.
18:26:00 <Gregor> .ca doesn't have any vetted standard for universities *sigh*
18:27:58 <fizzie> The domain, that is. I'm sure the country does something.

20:53:35 <J_Arcane> Phantom_Hoover: A joke perhaps, but still not the worst idea.

Assuming the idea takes on and/or I produce anything useful, I'm less interested in protecting my time than in ensuring such a feature gets adopted by as many sites as possible.
