00:02:34 <hppavilion[1]> FreeFull: Have any ideas for esoteric hashing functions?
00:02:56 <HackEgo> /home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: return: not found
00:04:51 <hppavilion[1]> There's also the "Just pretend it's an int" hashing function for floats
00:06:00 <FreeFull> hppavilion[1]: I think it'd be fun to write a C function which has a return 0; at the end, no other return statements, and yet returns something different from 0
00:07:40 <FreeFull> I think so, if you try hard enough
00:08:05 <FreeFull> The problem is that executable memory usually isn't writeable
00:08:09 <FreeFull> So you'd need to do something about that
00:12:37 <oerjan> <hppavilion[1]> Are there any number systems that do /not/ include the Reflexive Property? <hppavilion[1]> Or the transitive property? <-- IEEE 754 HTH
00:12:48 <fizzie> You could also go by the route of doing something that's both undefined and sufficiently confusing to the compiler.
00:13:05 <shachaf> oerjan: hppavilion[1] said "number systems" hth
00:13:22 <oerjan> or wait, maybe it's still transitive.
00:13:43 <shachaf> which relation are you talking about? equality?
00:13:50 <oerjan> i'm sure IEEE 754 counts as a number system in some horrible reality.
00:14:01 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Yes, I already talked about that on ##math
00:14:42 <oerjan> btw i think that "nullity" thing that went around a few years ago counts?
00:16:36 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: it was a rather lousy attempt to define division by 0 that someone made. honestly i don't think i actually read it, but i recall it mentioned it wasn't even equal to itself.
00:16:59 <shachaf> oerjan: you mean it was a solution to a 1200-year-old problem
00:17:16 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Would you happen to have a linky for a poor, bad-at-googling soul?
00:17:26 * oerjan points hppavilion[1] to shachaf as the expert

00:18:04 <shachaf> maybe this belongs in the other #esoteric
00:19:52 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Oh god, he added infinity and minus infinity (and nullity)
00:20:03 <hppavilion[1]> But he didn't add, for example, 2*infinity or sqrt(infinity)
00:21:11 <shachaf> there's nothing wrong with compactifications, yo
00:21:30 <oerjan> for a better attempt, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_theory
00:21:44 <oerjan> that's not messing with equality, though.
00:21:45 <shachaf> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_real_number_line and stuff, man
00:23:09 <hppavilion[1]> Mathematics needs a symbol for "x is not necessarily equal to y, but it could be if you tried /really/ hard"
00:23:25 <hppavilion[1]> (e.g. x!=x in most cases, but there are a few cases where it is.)
00:25:03 <MDude> Oh good, the wheel thingy is an idea already.
00:26:40 <hppavilion[1]> "If your heart pacemaker divides by zero, you're dead"

02:58:50 <hppavilion[2]> According to BBC, "He has also reinvented computing..."
02:59:21 <hppavilion[2]> The perspex can be understood in many ways. ...and an instruction for a machine that is more powerful than the Turing machine.
03:01:13 <hppavilion[2]> The Guardian can't even work up the effort to represent 0^0 using proper exponents
03:02:05 <hppavilion[2]> The Guardian claims that mathematicians are different from computer scientists
03:03:14 <hppavilion[2]> "Anyway, we eagerly await his contribution to the knotty problem of the square root of -1."
03:05:51 <MDude> Yes, that's often the case with journalism.
03:06:07 <MDude> I'll have to remember that, when writing fiction, to have in-universe news articles be written poorly.
03:06:17 <hppavilion[2]> "Anderson has been trying to market his ideas for transreal arithmetic and "Perspex machines" to investors. He claims that his work can produce computers which run "orders of magnitude faster than today's computers".[7][12] He has also claimed that it can help solve such problems as quantum gravity,[7] the mind-body connection,[13] consciousness[13] and free will.[13]"
03:09:53 <MDude> Dr. Anderson sounds like a cool guy and I reccomend he keep on being completely ridiculous.
03:10:13 <MDude> Though Perspex sounds more like a brand of deodorant.
03:11:07 <MDude> If it's such a good computer, I suggest making a server farm first and offering remote services on it.
03:12:01 <MDude> That way he doens't need to worry about selling the machine itself, just its capacity to compute.
03:12:09 <MDude> Mine bitcoins on it maybe.
03:14:00 <hppavilion[2]> Where can I find a paper that goes WAY too far with Peano Arithmetic?
03:14:11 <zgrep> MDude: Wouldn't it be better to simply factor giant numbers?
03:14:42 <zgrep> s/better/more fun, exciting, and valuable/
03:15:12 <pikhq> I don't know that quantum computing even helps with Bitcoin.
03:15:23 <MDude> Possibly, at first anyway.
03:15:45 <MDude> If bitcoins are based on factoring, it will.
03:16:00 <diginet> isn't it based on elliptic curves?
03:16:18 <pikhq> Oh, wait, there is the ECDSA signature thing.
03:16:49 <diginet> popular tech media reporting on quantum computing makes me rage
03:16:51 <pikhq> That actually is vulnerable to quantum computers.
03:17:23 <pikhq> I was just thinking SHA-256.
03:17:29 <diginet> pikhq: wait, I thought most hash functions as of yet are quantum-secure?
03:17:36 <hppavilion[2]> Everything is vulnerable to rock-based cellular automaton computers, given long enough
03:17:43 <diginet> isn't ECDSA just an implementation detail of its protocol?
03:18:06 <diginet> I'm increasingly skeptical quantum computers will ever come to fruition
03:18:08 <pikhq> No, ECDSA is used for wallets.
03:19:00 <pikhq> Still, I think that's one of the less interesting uses of breaking almost all crypto on the planet.

07:26:11 <qpwoeiruty> coppro: would it take a lot of time in your opinion?
07:26:25 <coppro> I could probably do it in 10 minutes?
07:27:42 <qpwoeiruty> Well I was just hoping for a rough idea...any help is great.
07:28:06 <coppro> you will probably need to move the string as you process it
07:28:14 -!- jaboja has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
07:28:17 <coppro> you can't easily move back to your data, so you need to move the data with you
07:29:22 <coppro> I'd start with something like [count][scratch][string], and at each stage move the count+1 to the scratch, zero the count, move the first character of the string to the count space, then zero the first character of the string
07:29:26 <coppro> then move forward one cell and repeat

08:52:18 <shachaf> A graph is just a compact representation of a tree.
09:10:30 <zzo38> shachaf: What context? How are you meaning?
09:10:52 <zzo38> It is a Phyrexian mana symbol.
09:11:05 <zzo38> You can pay either one mana of that color, or you can pay 2 life.
09:12:38 <zzo38> It is even mentioned in the rules for Magic: the Gathering.
09:14:48 <shachaf> It's a bit odd that it's on all colors. Seems like a pretty black ability to me.
09:16:39 <zzo38> Yes I suppose so, but it is on all colors, and is still meaningful in such case too. Anyways, all colors can be in lands that damage you for activating them.
09:17:20 <zzo38> The oldest Phyrexian cards were black, but this was before Phyrexian mana was invented, and now you can find Phyrexian cards in all colors (including black).
09:18:06 <b_jonas> shachaf: don't forget that the Phyrexian blight is spreading. in SOM, infect is only on black and green; in MBS and NPH, it's on all colors.
09:18:30 <shachaf> I never played during that block so I didn't keep track.
09:19:28 <b_jonas> shachaf: the story of the block is that the Phyrexians attack Mirrodin, and by the end of the block, they _win_
09:20:00 <b_jonas> so they start to turn everything on mirrodin, artifacts and things colored by all five suns, to a twisted phyerxian counterpart

09:28:00 <Taneb> shachaf, I am aware of Teneb the Harvester
09:39:06 <zgrep> Question to those of you who know, how would a language based on dependent types do stuff with input that's unknown, say user input or from a TCP connection... would it just implement the checks into the program so that it checks it at runtime for unknown stuff?

(Otherwise, you can figure out your own way to do the calculation I mentioned.)
09:50:47 <zzo38> (Send the result to me by private message.)

09:53:28 <zzo38> shachaf: In order to avoid spam messages
09:53:44 <shachaf> Have you gotten spam messages?
09:54:09 <zzo38> I have before, in a different webpage that did not require registration
09:54:54 <zzo38> Possibly though a JavaScript program can also be written to perform the calculation and then you can tell me the response of that instead; there can be more than one program to do.
09:55:45 <zzo38> If you are trying to move yourself forward, it takes some amount of energy; to move everything else in the universe backward by the same amount instead would require more energy, but the infinite sum might result in a finite total.
09:55:58 <zzo38> (Probably this is all wrong.)
09:57:10 <zzo38> (Actually I am sure it is, but nevertheless it is what I thought of one day)
09:59:00 <zzo38> shachaf: I know that b_jonas has made that calculation already, and hopefully you have the software to do too, isn't it?
09:59:13 <shachaf> I do, but it seems like too much trouble.

10:01:19 -!- atslash has joined.
10:01:39 <zzo38> I have found other way to require the registration to often be complicated so I do this way instead; this way I can process the registration by myself and don't need to worry about spam registration account either, since they will not be registration generally (and if it is, I can delete it anyways).

20:14:20 <hppavilion[1]> Or more generally, how do I simply convert between λ-calculus and SK?
20:14:57 <\oren\> i think there's an article on the wiki that says how
20:16:42 <\oren\> http://esolangs.org/wiki/S_and_K_Turing-completeness_proof
20:17:24 <\oren\> it's a proof by conversion from λ calculus to ski logic
20:19:47 <\oren\> which works by having expressions which are half λ and half ski, and applyin rules until there's noting left but ski.
20:21:07 <\oren\> so really it's a proof that any expression composed of λ and sk, including expressions that are entirely sk, can be converted to entirely λ

21:02:31 <hppavilion[1]> I figured out how to implement OR in combinatory logic, given the standard constructions of T and F as T=K, F=K(SKK)
21:02:49 <hppavilion[1]> Which is obviously not a huge achievement but it made me happy!
21:03:15 <hppavilion[1]> (I did have to find a combinator that did something I needed, specifically one of the form `?abc = bca`)
21:03:56 <boily> hppavellon[1]. have you explored the B, C and W combinators?

21:04:50 <FireFly> I see quite a few porta pro's here
21:04:57 <FireFly> of course, that's not in-ear
21:05:05 <FireFly> I don't like in-ear headphones myself though
21:05:16 <hppavilion[1]> boily: Yes, I already have those. Or do you mean explored them alone?
21:05:32 -!- jaboja has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
21:05:41 <hppavilion[1]> My solcution was actually C [R True], where R is the aforementioned combinator I needed

21:08:24 <boily> FireFly: I was a in-ear user while I was in school (small, portative), but they are far from being confortable. and they snag on everything. and during winter they conduct painful ESDs to your sensitive earlobes.

21:31:49 <fizzie> Admittedly I haven't had these for terribly long, so I can't be entirely sure whether they'll start disintegrating. Also I didn't read any of the previous discussion; I don't think these would be very good for portabilizing around.
21:32:20 <\oren\> http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=zipper+headphones
21:32:38 <\oren\> I bought them for a dollar
21:33:52 <fizzie> I don't think I've seen zipper headphones live, but there was a mention of the concept as a novel idea somewhere.
21:36:56 <\oren\> in china you can get things prototyped in like a week from what I hear
21:38:57 <\oren\> so someone in shenzhen might have heard about it and gone "I know who to call to get that made."

21:46:20 <fizzie> boily: I used to have HD 280 Pro's from the same company (not so small, but closed), but the headband padding started to go all bad after a scant decade.
21:48:19 <fizzie> And I got a pair of Sony "Pro" (it's always about pro) MDR7506 headphones for work (closed since I thought it'd be a noisier place), and they've been fine so far.
21:49:16 <fizzie> It says "Professional" on a sticker right there on the headphones, and the box has a schematic diagram on it, that's how you know it's a serious tool instead of a frivolous toy.
21:49:26 <boily> I got a pair of MDR-V55 at work. cheap, useful, and solid.
21:50:13 <boily> are there any products out there that are recursively professional? like proprofessional?
22:03:27 <MDude> First, I'd look for something that's called professional but not considered professional enough.
22:03:44 <MDude> Since then there'd be demand for an extra professional version.
22:04:38 <MDude> Maybe there are people who proffesionally train professionalism.
22:05:31 <MDude> I also considered having things I want made by Chinese manufacturers, but I think they might not go for just any idea.
22:06:14 <MDude> Since if it's not already getting sold lucratively, then how do they know it's worth copying?
22:06:29 <MDude> I haven't tried though, so maybe they'd give it a shot if it looks cool.

22:29:28 <fizzie> There's already a term for "professional but not quite professional": those are "prosumer" things.
22:40:49 <tswett> I just thought of another one of those stupid Magic card ideas.
22:41:27 <tswett> Block Out. 2U. Enchantment - Aura. Enchant spell. If enchanted spell would resolve, exile it instead.
22:41:37 <tswett> ...It should have flash, too.
22:42:12 <b_jonas> tswett: isn't that generally worse than a Cancel?
22:42:35 <b_jonas> it can counter any spell, it's only slightly weaker than Cancel
22:42:53 <b_jonas> (or more, but then it's useless)
22:42:53 <tswett> Yeah, you're probably right.
22:43:14 <b_jonas> maybe add some restriction to it, then you can cost it lower. there's a lot of restricted counterspells out there.
22:44:23 <b_jonas> you don't need severe restrictions to make it 2U
22:44:33 <b_jonas> the counterspells for {1U} are more restricted, obviously
22:45:32 <tswett> Magnet. 2UU. Enchantment - Aura. Enchant Aura enchantment. When Magnet enters the battlefield, attach enchanted enchantment to Magnet. Enchanted enchantment has "Enchant enchantment named 'Magnet'" and loses all other enchant abilities.
22:47:05 <tswett> Wait, I don't think that would work as worded.
22:47:13 <b_jonas> there's a lot of soft-counters that counter a spell unless the opponent pays some amount of generic mana, with some advantage, for 2U
22:48:26 <tswett> When you play Magnet on an enchantment, that enchantment will become unable to enchant whatever it's enchanting (unless it's enchanting a Magnet) and go to the graveyard as a state-based action.

22:50:22 <tswett> I think there are several problems, actually.
22:51:22 -!- atslash has quit (Quit: Leaving).
22:52:05 <tswett> Magnet. 2UU. Enchantment - Aura. Enchant Aura enchantment. Enchanted enchantment has "Enchant object or player" and loses all other enchant abilities. When Magnet enters the battlefield, attach enchanted enchantment to Magnet, and that enchantment loses "Enchant object or player" and gains "Enchant enchantment named 'Magnet'".
22:53:19 <b_jonas> tswett: does this really need two steps of changing the ability? why wouldn't you just change the ability first, then attach.
22:53:52 <tswett> Mm... good point. Revision three.
22:53:52 -!- dcentral has joined.
22:53:53 <b_jonas> tswett: mind you, I think even that could have problems, toying with enchant abilities is dangerous, but I don't see why you need the extra step.
22:54:04 <b_jonas> also, drop the apostrophes
22:54:20 <b_jonas> M:tG uses quotation marks around abilities, but not around names
22:54:25 <tswett> Magnet. 2UU. Enchantment - Aura. Enchant Aura enchantment. When Magnet enters the battlefield, attach enchanted enchantment to Magnet, and that enchantment gains "Enchant enchantment named Magnet" and loses all other enchant abilities.
22:54:59 <b_jonas> tswett: shouldn't that be in the opposite order?
22:55:07 <b_jonas> that is, first change the ability, then attach
22:55:21 -!- atslash has joined.
22:55:41 <b_jonas> maybe they have to be simultanous
22:55:53 <b_jonas> so maybe you do need the two steps or simultanouity
22:56:03 <tswett> I think you were right the first time.
22:56:05 <b_jonas> I wouldn't dare to do something like this
22:56:07 <tswett> First change the ability, then attach.
22:56:33 <tswett> It's not possible to attach an Aura to an illegal target, but it's possible for an Aura to *be* attached to an illegal target.
22:56:45 <tswett> It just dies as a state-based action.
22:57:11 <b_jonas> tswett: I'm not sure it's possible. isn't there a "can't" somewhere, so it can't even stay attached, but dies only later/
22:58:02 <b_jonas> But my bigger problem isn't how it stays attached. It's that the enchantment might have an ability that normally refers to an object in another zone or a player or something else, and now will try to refer to a permanent.
22:58:05 -!- TieSoul has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
22:58:49 <tswett> Looks like no, there's nothing prohibiting an Aura from momentarily enchanting an illegal target.
22:59:16 <tswett> The text of Animate Dead has it momentarily enchanting an illegal target.
22:59:37 <b_jonas> If you turned the enchantment to a copy of something, so it definitely doesn't have any abilities remaining, then it would be fine, but that's usually a bit of an overkill compared to just exiling it.
22:59:40 <tswett> When it enters the battlefield, it changes its own enchant ability and then changes what it's attached to.
23:00:11 <b_jonas> that's the card with the longest oracle text these days
23:00:36 <b_jonas> maybe some double-faced planeswalkers have more text
23:00:48 <tswett> Ooh boy, now I want to find the card with the longest Oracle text.
23:00:55 <b_jonas> but yes, you're probably right
23:01:12 <b_jonas> But still, I don't like this card even if it does usually stay attached.

23:02:29 <tswett> Tap, Remove a charge counter from Ice Cauldron: Add Ice Cauldron's last noted type and amount of mana to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast the last card exiled with Ice Cauldron."
23:03:36 <b_jonas> tswett: yes, that's among the longest too. but I think you mangled its text.
23:03:54 <b_jonas> you probably mean "{X}, {T}:" instead of "Variable Colorless, Tap:"
23:04:00 <b_jonas> then it's slightly less long
23:05:54 <b_jonas> Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh has lots of oracle text if you count it together with the flip side
23:06:00 <tswett> Properly, they should be the Unicode characters U+24CD VARIABLE COLORLESS and U+27F3 TAP.
23:08:04 <b_jonas> the other double-sided planeswalkers are long too (Kytheon, Hero of Akros; Jace, Vryn's Prodigy; Liliana, Heretical Healer; Nissa, Vastwood Seer)
