00:53:33 <int-e> it works our with eighty-three, it seems
00:53:55 <tswett> Change "eighteen" to "sixteen". Still 16 words, still 25 syllables, now 81 letters instead of 82.
00:54:10 <int-e> oh.
00:54:20 <shachaf> I already wrote sixteen.
00:55:21 <tswett> If you change "twenty-six" to "twenty-five", there are still 16 words and 25 syllables, but 82 letters again. If you change it to "twenty-four"... exactly the same.
00:55:28 <tswett> So let me check this one:
00:55:48 <tswett> This sentence, on the other hand, has sixteen words, twenty-four syllables, and eighty-two letters.
00:56:03 <int-e> I messed up.
00:56:21 <tswett> > length $ filter isLetter "This sentence, on the other hand, has sixteen words, twenty-four syllables, and eighty-two letters."
00:56:23 <lambdabot> 79
00:56:30 <tswett> Huh.
00:57:25 <tswett> Right... I didn't account for the changing of "seventy-eight" to "eighty-two".
00:57:39 <tswett> Which subtracts 3 letters, giving you 79.
00:57:56 <hppavilion[1]> tswett: That's why that sentence is so impressive
00:58:31 <int-e> well, it's lucky.
00:58:53 <int-e> tswett has the right idea, you try 5 templates and 2 of them should work out
00:59:57 <tswett> If it's just "seventy", that's 77 letters. If you stick on -seven, that makes 82; stick on -eight, still 82; -nine, 81. "Eighty" gives you 76, "eighty-one" 79, "eighty-two" 79, "eighty-three" 81, "eighty-four" 80, and so forth.
01:00:22 <tswett> So this particular template doesn't seem to work. Maybe you can do something funky with the syllable count.

10:17:14 <b_jonas> If I write "this frame" without any preposition as a time determiner in an English sentence, in code comments I write, does that mean I'm influenced too much by M:tG, which uses "this turn" similarly?
10:19:02 <ais523> I don't think so, "this week" is used in that sense in English
10:19:15 <ais523> the only reason it's rarely used for smaller time periods is that we have specific words for them like "today"
10:19:35 <b_jonas> right
10:22:52 <b_jonas> (And now I'm reminded to the not really relevant phrase, "Marry Jaffar... or die within the hour.", from the introduction of Prince of Persia.)
10:23:34 <Taneb> ais523, this minute is relatively common
10:23:45 <b_jonas> Taneb: so is "this instant"
10:23:45 <Taneb> As in, "You'd better do the thing right this minute!"
10:27:21 <b_jonas> Ok, I should just be careful to use it only if it can't be misunderstood as an object.
10:28:33 <ais523> Taneb: now I'm trying to figure out what "right" is modifying in that sentence
10:28:42 <ais523> normal English grammar rules would have it modifying "do" but it clearly isn't
10:36:00 <b_jonas> ais523: why not? I think it's an adverb modifying "do"
10:36:15 <b_jonas> (but don't trust me on English grammar)
10:36:21 <ais523> b_jonas: it's an idiom, and it doesn't mean "correctly"
10:36:32 <ais523> I /think/ it's being used as an intensifier
10:36:41 <ais523> but intensifiers modify adjectives, normally
10:36:47 <ais523> (e.g. "right honourable")

12:51:25 <ais523> hmm, I was expecting it to be close to a round number in hex
12:51:28 <ais523> apparently not
12:51:38 <b_jonas> ais523: http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=849259 lists some possibilities
12:52:09 <ais523> hmm, the "easiest perl solution" is the one I came up with
12:52:15 <ais523> although I had to look up the spelling of as_hex
12:53:25 <ais523> the "hadd" function there is pretty much what Math::BigInt::Calc does internally, isn't it?
12:54:44 <b_jonas> ais523: no, hadd works in hexadecimal, whereas I think Math::BigInt::Calc is decimal, the decimal calculation is shown later in the reply, in the function dalu
12:55:03 <ais523> b_jonas: hadd is converting decimal to hex, isn't it?
12:55:09 <myname> i first read it as "perlmonkeys" and was tempted to click it
12:55:17 <ais523> you don't convert decimal to hex "in" decimal or hex
12:55:20 <b_jonas> ais523: and I think Math::BigInt::Calc groups multiple digits together so that it's faster
12:55:25 <b_jonas> ais523: yes you do
12:55:30 <b_jonas> ais523: you can do the calculatoin in two ways
12:55:41 -!- mihow has joined.
12:56:05 <b_jonas> you have to be able to do additions of bignums (as well as multiplication of one digit with a bignum) in either decimal or hexadecimal
12:56:12 <b_jonas> either of that is enough to do a base conversion
12:56:18 <b_jonas> but they lead to two different algorithms
12:56:30 <b_jonas> see Knuth vol 2 which explains the theory more clearly
12:57:53 <b_jonas> The "hadd" function itself doesn't convert anything, it only does a bignum addition, where the bignums are represented as arrays of base 16 numbers, it's the rest of the code that build a decimal to hex conversion from this.
12:59:27 <b_jonas> Whereas the dalu function does a bignum add/subtract/compare operation on two bignums, represented as arrays of digits in base 10, and the rest of the code under that does the decimal to hexadecimal conversion.
12:59:47 <ais523> hmm
13:00:10 <ais523> the unary to decimal conversion I wrote in PMMN works via first building a decimal number with the digits in reverse order, and then reversing the digits
13:00:19 <ais523> minsky machines make you do weird things sometimes
13:00:27 <ais523> ssapmmn will hopefully eventually be able to optimize the whole thing into an array walk
13:00:29 <b_jonas> zzo38 might be able to explain this better, he's bested me in bignum calculation obfu stuff
13:00:53 <ais523> obfuscated bignums isn't a field I've thought much about
13:00:59 <ais523> (bignums generally are something that come up quite a lot, though)
13:01:11 <b_jonas> it started with non-obfuscated educational purpose bignums really
13:01:22 <b_jonas> (I don't write serious optimized bignum code, because there's already good enough ones.)
13:01:41 <b_jonas> (People keep writing them for crypto purposes.)
13:02:20 <b_jonas> So I wrote http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/Bin.hs which is educational purpose base 2 arithmetic implementation
13:02:59 -!- mihow has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
13:03:03 <b_jonas> But later it devolved to that dec->hex stuff and to http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=989716 and to zzo38's implementation of addition in negazeckendorf
13:03:18 <b_jonas> which is at https://github.com/int-e/zeckendorf by the way
13:03:32 <ais523> I'll need to use some specialized bignum stuff for ssapmmn eventually
13:03:38 -!- daniela123 has left.
13:03:39 <ais523> but so far it only compiles to (a rather unusual) IR
13:03:47 <b_jonas> ais523: there are actual optimized libraries for that
13:04:17 <ais523> they're probably not optimized for minsky machines
13:04:39 <ais523> which sometimes care about storing a number in a specific base, and sometimes care about storing a number as a multiset of its prime factors
13:04:49 <b_jonas> yeah
13:04:53 <ais523> and only very rarely use a number for its actual numerical value
13:07:06 <b_jonas> ruby -e'puts "%x"%2923000000000000' # works too, although iirc not in HackEgo
13:08:11 <ais523> % is a printf operator?
13:08:47 <ais523> I'm not really sure sprintf needs to have an operator name, especially not a 1-character name
13:08:47 <ais523> but perhaps it helps
13:11:13 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, a sprintf operator (also modulus operator)
13:11:27 <b_jonas> I think they took the idea from early python versions or something

13:32:12 <ais523> so, a programming style I've been considering for a hobby project (basically the same sort of thing as demoscene, so not exactly eso but there's a lot in common) is branchless programming
13:32:39 <ais523> the reason being that many instructions have to run on specific clock cycles, and branches tend to screw up the timing

14:26:07 <b_jonas> ais523: branchless programming can be interesting as an eso-practice, especially because it can help in real world optimization where you want to eliminate some branches (but not all, specifically eliminate those conditional branches and indirect jumps where the CPU can't predict the condition or destination resp well enough, provided the branhces are in a performance-critical section of the code).
14:26:38 <ais523> b_jonas: I'm planning to use a timer interrupt to create a lopo
14:26:38 <b_jonas> (And even then eliminate only if the alternative isn't worse.)
14:26:40 <ais523> *loop
14:26:52 <ais523> thus no branch nor unconditional jump instructions anywhere :-)
14:27:25 <b_jonas> ais523: um, this on what platform? where do you have a stable enough timer interrupt? Atari?
14:27:45 <b_jonas> no wait, the Atari interrupts only once per frame
14:27:48 <b_jonas> that can't work
14:27:49 <b_jonas> um
14:27:57 <ais523> b_jonas: NES, and yes, once per frame
14:27:59 <b_jonas> a 6523 CPU then?
14:28:04 <b_jonas> oh, NES
14:28:42 <b_jonas> how much RAM does that have?
14:28:47 -!- `^_^ has joined.
14:29:32 <ais523> b_jonas: it depends on what sort of RAM you're counting; the CPU can directly address 0x800 bytes of RAM inside the NES itself
14:29:53 <ais523> and can indirectly address some amount of GPU RAM too via the equivalent of a system call
14:29:54 <ais523> additionally it's also possible that there's RAM on the cartridge (although many cartridges have no RAM)
14:30:14 <b_jonas> right
14:30:18 <b_jonas> that's not much
14:31:16 <ais523> you also have quite a lot of ROM (0x2000 minimum ROM directly addressible by the CPU, I think, but you can easily have much more if you want it by using a more expensive model of cartridge)
14:31:52 <b_jonas> I prefer programming these more powerful modern PCs these days.
14:35:44 -!- mihow has joined.
14:36:57 <b_jonas> if you use no branches or jumps at all, then you might need lots of address space available for the code

19:34:21 <shachaf> the questions you're asking ("why have an IO type when only one instruction does IO") have been asked and answered thousands of times before, and you can get better answers than some off-the-cuff thing people happen to type in irc
19:34:42 -!- Treio has joined.
19:35:53 <zzo38> Well, I can answer some things
19:36:23 <zzo38> (Partially)
19:37:06 <myname> huh? only one instruction?
19:39:12 <zzo38> In Haskell all function and definition are pure (except unsafe operations), so IO monad means that the value is a IO action to be performed (possibly multiples)
19:40:14 <zzo38> For example to read one character from input would be type (IO Char) because it is operation of I/O, which would resulting something Char which can then be used for computing further I/O logic.

19:55:54 <shachaf> Well, the line of questioning.
19:56:14 <myname> hppavilion[1]: there is a bf derivate that does that pretty easy
19:56:42 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I do realize why IO is the way it is
19:56:56 <lambda-11235> You can't write a function IO a -> a because you don't have access to the RealWorld.
19:56:57 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I just was wondering why I couldn't do IO in a function then /not/ return an IO object
19:57:16 <shachaf> lambda-11235: There's no RealWorld in Haskell.
19:57:21 <hppavilion[1]> myname: Does what pretty easily?
19:57:26 <hppavilion[1]> Oh, have to go
19:58:34 <myname> io eith one function
19:58:53 <myname> in
19:59:37 <lambda-11235> shachaf: There is, read libraries/ghc-prim/GHC/Types.hs in the GHC source. At the bottom you'll see the definition for IO.
19:59:39 <zzo38> A function in Haskell doesn't do I/O; it returns a IO object which does the IO. All function is pure function in Haskell
19:59:53 <shachaf> lambda-11235: I know how GHC's implementation of IO works.
20:00:02 <shachaf> Even that one has no values of type RealWorld.
20:00:22 <shachaf> But anyway that's completely irrelevant to someone learning Haskell. RealWorld is a bad name anyway.
20:01:17 <olsner> I liked the analogy of functions on RealWorld, or e.g. State RealWorld a
20:01:33 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
20:02:54 <ais523> I like thinking of monads as like sandboxes, that restrict what you can do in order to allow you to do more things
20:04:00 <coppro> I like thinking of monads as monads
20:04:20 <coppro> zzo38: that view is a useful way of thinking about it, but is not actually how they are implemented in most implementations
20:04:29 <ais523> coppro: mathematical ones or haskellish ones?
20:04:37 <zzo38> To me the explanation is a bit differently, if you are familiar with multidimensional list comprehensions in other programming languages, then the monads is a kind of generalization of a similar kind of concept. Monad is mathematical category theory and has some operation and law defined
20:04:42 <coppro> ais523: haskellish one
20:04:47 <zzo38> And then, for example there is a list monad, IO monad, etc
20:05:05 <lambda-11235> shachaf: If you mean there's no value of RealWorld (or State RealWorld) that ghc passes, then you'd be correct, it's purely conceptual.
20:05:08 <ais523> also, I totally want to see a pure-Haskell implementation of IO in which the IO object is basically just C code
20:05:12 <ais523> or ML, or the like
20:05:30 <ais523> but I'm not sure you can do that without the ability to "look inside" a function
20:05:31 <shachaf> ais523: Tricky to implement fmap on that.
20:05:39 <coppro> if you really want, I can try to think of a monad as the endofunctor generated by composing adjoint functors

20:09:10 <shachaf> I mean that running a Haskell function on C code is tricky.
20:09:10 <ais523> well in Haskell, >>= is the fundamental operation
20:09:23 <shachaf> The fundamental operation is whatever you want it to be.
20:09:28 <ais523> I guess you'd need an FFI to Haskell
20:10:01 <ais523> but the >>= operation here is basically just sequential composition (i.e. C semicolon) that preserves one value
20:10:24 <olsner> I think ghc still treats nullary functions (such as RealWorld -> a, after the RealWorld is removed) as functions, but otherwise I reckon something like IO Char could actually have the same representation as a Char thunk
20:10:32 <ais523> (C's semicolon is more like >> because C uses variables in order to track states from statement to statement)

20:21:32 <zzo38> Monads can be made in other programming languages too, and I have made monadic generators in JavaScript too
20:23:52 <zzo38> (They are two different monads actually)
20:26:54 <coppro> olsner: yes, agreed
20:27:25 <coppro> olsner: and the nice thing about the abstraction is that unless you're breaking the rules (e.g. unsafePerformIO) or you let bottom through, you can't tell the difference
20:27:57 <coppro> so unless you're piercing the abstraction for one reason or another, it's a 100% valid way to think of it

21:23:19 <hppavilion[1]> I thought of an interesting proof-of-concept brainfuck derivative (and proof-of-concept is really the only good thing to do with bf derivatives)
21:23:23 <hppavilion[1]> I call it TangleFuck
21:24:05 <hppavilion[1]> I will now wait for someone to respond so I'm not just talking to an empty room
21:25:33 <izabera> tell us about it
21:25:46 <hppavilion[1]> izabera: So you know how [ and ] in BF can be implemented on a stack, correct?
21:26:15 <izabera> yes
21:26:16 <hppavilion[1]> Where [ PUSHes the current location (or, if the current cell is zero, jumps to the matching `]`) and ] conditionally POPs a value and JMPs to it?
21:26:31 -!- Angelssjdios has joined.
21:26:49 <hppavilion[1]> izabera: Well I had an idea for something you could do with that that makes a tangle-bracket language (one where brackets must be matched, but independent of other brackets)
21:27:05 <hppavilion[1]> There are two ways to do it, and one way that merges both models
21:27:42 <hppavilion[1]> First, replace that stack with a deque. [ and ] do not change, they just work on a different data structure (they still POP and PUSH even because the deque uses the same words)
21:28:02 <hppavilion[1]> Then, add two new instructions- { and }- that have the same programming as [ and ] respectively, except for one change
21:28:17 <hppavilion[1]> Instead of PUSHing and POPing, they INJECT and EJECT

21:28:38 <hppavilion[1]> I don't know what the significance of this is, but it sure makes for weird programming if you decide to use it
21:29:20 -!- J_Arcane has joined.
21:29:21 <hppavilion[1]> (But you don't have to, as this is a strict superset of regular BF- and it even is a strict superset (but slower) if you replace all [s with {s and ]s with }s)
21:30:24 <hppavilion[1]> izabera: A nice property is that the outermost loop allows you to use [ and } and they will complement one another iff the first cell starts nonzero when the [ is called, but that's about it
21:31:53 <hppavilion[1]> It gets even more confusing with a Unicode-based idea I thought of
21:32:21 <hppavilion[1]> Every type of unicode bracket and its white equivalent has its own deque. The normal bracket works on the top, the white version works on the bottom.
21:32:38 <hppavilion[1]> I'm really just heaping complexity on at that point though
21:32:54 <hppavilion[1]> But it still probably has some deep property we've never thought of
21:33:16 <hppavilion[1]> (Oh, and the deques have the property where POPing or EJECTing an empty deque returns 0)
21:37:09 <izabera> don't understand why it must be a deque
21:37:36 <izabera> do you insert from one end and eject from the other?
21:38:14 <izabera> if you do, that's a regular queue
21:38:21 <izabera> if you don't, that's a stack
21:39:11 <izabera> also using a queue means that you can't nest [ ]
21:39:18 <izabera> well, sort of
21:40:29 <izabera> [x[y]z] -> a: x; b: y; if (*p) goto a; z; if (*p) goto b;
21:41:07 <izabera> so it's not a superset of bf
21:42:41 <izabera> that's not a correct translation of that bf but you got the point
21:44:39 <hppavilion[1]> izabera: No, you insert and eject from the back, but you push and pop from he front

21:45:08 <HackEgo> mario/Mario is a classic NP-complete problem invented by Nintendo.
21:45:12 <hppavilion[1]> izabera: That's a deque- a cross between two stacks
21:45:22 <hppavilion[1]> At least, that's the definition I was taught
21:45:24 <izabera> ok, gotcha
21:45:35 <izabera> sorry if i don't make much sense, i'm too tired

21:46:00 <hppavilion[1]> Somebody should write the "imaginary function" page on the wiki in haskell. More people know haskell than erlang, AFAICT

22:00:01 <b_jonas> int-e: I'm not sure which version I read\
22:09:45 <int-e> So far the authors have removed two of three NP membership claims from that paper: for SMB (added in the first version, dropped in the second); for Metroid (added in v2, removed in v3). Only the claim for "Pokemon with only enemy Trainers" remains, added in v2, elaborated in v3.

22:12:04 <int-e> The thing is, because there are items that move around, the observable state space becomes exponential, and that adversely affects (probably invalidates, but I have not thought that through) the claim that solution lengths are bounded polynomially.
