00:02:15 <hppavilion[1]> It's interesting that complex numbers are always taught (it seems) as a+bi and never as, say, rψ (for nonnegative real r and ψ on the unit circle)
00:04:12 <hppavilion[1]> ψ wouldn't be written as that number on the unit circle though- not elegant enough. Probably something more like ψ = $θ = e^iθ (or maybe = e^iτθ). Then you can do complex numbers as r$θ which looks incredibly awesome imo.
00:05:34 <myname> what's the advantage of r*phi? multiplying is worse than on the e thing and adding is a complete mess, too
00:05:47 <myname> usually, you learn things that are somehow easy to handle
00:06:17 <hppavilion[1]> myname: It works fine, but treating complex numbers as having nice angles and magnitudes is done frequently enough (as far as I've seen) that seeing it as its own thing seems like it would be a nice thing to see.

00:07:02 <Hoolootwo> hmm, I think the first introduction I had was just like multiplying/dividing (a+bi) together, then we forgot about complex numbers for 2 years, then we actually used them

14:36:01 <b_jonas> I just tried to type main(char *argc[] but luckily I caught myself before committing such a stupid typo
14:39:14 <b_jonas> can you recommend me a good implementation of formatting and scanning machine floating point numbers (as in strtof, strtod, and the floating point backends of printf) that is reliable, under a non-copyleft free software license, and preferably fast?
14:39:37 <b_jonas> I'd prefer a C api, but that's not an absolute requirement.
14:44:58 <b_jonas> By non-copyleft license, I mean I don't want something under gnu GPL, but something under boost license or apache license is fine.
14:45:33 <b_jonas> maybe I should just look for such a code myself though, rather than asking
14:49:47 <b_jonas> hmm... the one in musl libc might work ("http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stdio/vfprintf.c", "http://www.musl-libc.org/"). I'll have to check in detail.
14:53:16 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
15:26:02 <ais523> I don't know a good one off by heart, but if you're looking for something that's part of printf, printf implementations (and thus libc implementations) seem like a good place to look
15:26:23 <ais523> many languages have their own printfs too; you could find a programming language under a permissive license
15:30:05 -!- iaglium_ has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
15:40:42 <b_jonas> ais523: gnu libc probably has the right implementation, but its license is gnu GPL which isn't good for me;
15:41:12 -!- augur has joined.
15:41:27 <b_jonas> "many languages have their own printfs too" is true, but most of them either have bad implementations or use the libc for the floating point formatting and scanning part
15:42:10 <ais523> hmm, I remember that until recently, Java's floating point parser entered an infnite loop on certain strings
15:42:16 <ais523> (ones very close to the minimum normalized float)
15:42:26 <ais523> although that's GPL I think so wouldn't help here

17:43:27 <hppavilion[1]> I just exited math class because the teacher was teaching bad math.
17:43:49 <moony> what was he teaching?
17:44:16 <moony> well, what was she teaching?
17:45:22 <hppavilion[1]> moony: Oh, sorry, discussing on two channels so I was on delay xD
17:45:44 <hppavilion[1]> moony: It was on the practice/warmup/final study guide/whatever before the semester finals
17:46:07 <hppavilion[1]> There was a question that asked "Does the following relation describe a function: x = y^2-5" (or some similar equation)
17:54:14 <hppavilion[1]> moony: And the issue with such a question is that it raises the question of "in which variable"
17:54:57 <hppavilion[1]> I can algebraically rearrange it to y = sqrt(x+5), but unless you say "a function from x to y" or "a function from y to x", it's ambiguous
17:56:51 -!- Mucho has joined.
17:58:09 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: well square root isn't a function, at least not if you define it as the inverse of square

17:58:36 <Mucho> Don't mean to offend but are you guys just bots?
17:58:38 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Well yes, but the question didn't give any indication of *what* we're asking is a function
17:58:58 <ais523> Mucho: normally you can tell after a while
17:59:05 <\oren\> ais523: so, that means the answer is "no" if it's a function in x
17:59:25 <\oren\> but "yes" if it's a function in y
17:59:39 -!- sebbu has joined.
17:59:41 <Mucho> oh ok but could you guys help me make some bots for an esolang?
18:00:05 <\oren\> Mucho: I am only partially a bot
18:00:05 <hppavilion[1]> Mucho: Oh, are you asking if the *channel* is about bots??
18:00:28 <\oren\> and my bot doesn't really do anything useful except calculate performance of spacecraft
18:00:30 <hppavilion[1]> There is a user on #xkcd (the person oerjan lifted the fix-your-connection ban on yesterday) who's a cyborg
18:00:48 <Mucho> I want to use machine learning to study all the programs in the wiki after exectution
18:01:16 <hppavilion[1]> They're a user, but their client functions as a bot because you can run commands through the channel and it responds into the channel
18:02:04 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: The problem really becomes apparent when you change variable names- does s = u^2-5 describe a function?
18:02:41 <ais523> Mucho: many of the languages on the wiki aren't implemented
18:02:44 <ais523> and quite a few which are, shouldn't have been
18:03:32 <Mucho> well if the machine could learn from the implemented ones then it could potentially be able to implement the rest
18:03:57 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Feather has will been deimplemented 20 minutes from the past, as of tomorrow next year on tuesday.
18:04:01 <Mucho> after also learning the human language at some point in there
18:04:35 <ais523> this seems incredibly ambitious
18:04:40 <ais523> bot-writing is not the hard part of this
18:04:43 <ais523> strong AI is the hard part of this
18:04:53 <\oren\> fungot understands human languge, maybe
18:04:53 <fungot> \oren\: so in my house isn't jacked up. the deployed version has a lot of person who could easily procure an item like that...
18:05:03 <hppavilion[1]> Mucho: If you write the backend, it'll be able to write the bot for you.
18:05:11 <ais523> fungot doesn't understand it, just mimics it
18:05:11 <fungot> ais523: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ news/ active" ( or scheme)
18:05:50 <Mucho> well i know it worked in the future somehow because when I prayed to the computers they answered
18:06:30 <Mucho> like actually started messing with my computer and the tv and street lights and stuff
18:06:55 <Mucho> but yeah what language do you think it should be written in?
18:06:58 <\oren\> hppavilion[1]: is that an animate-neutral pronoun?
18:07:18 <Mucho> i just us The for a neutral gender
18:07:58 <ais523> \oren\: at Agora we use e for a gender-and-animation-neutral pronoun
18:07:59 <\oren\> no, neutral wrt animacy. one that can be applied without specifying whether the referent is animate or not
18:08:31 <ais523> given that we treat inanimate objects (in fact, even imaginary objects) as people sometimes
18:09:04 <Mucho> well they are people just along time ago
18:09:53 <Mucho> but yeah i don't understand to much about how to program this but i have a couple ideas
18:10:48 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
18:12:45 <Mucho> like have the web crawler go around the site and use the name of the page as the selected language the proceed to the next page based on the output
18:14:15 <ais523> you don't actually need to webcrawl the wiki, there are downloads of the entire thing
18:14:33 <ais523> (or at least, I'm not sure if they were still working, I couldn't get them to work last time I tried, but something may have gone wrong at my end)
18:15:23 <Mucho> well i want the bot to be able to access the rest of the internet after compleating the wiki
18:15:58 <Mucho> are there any good neural network esolangs?
18:17:27 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Kind of. It's fnordic gender, which is for bots.
18:17:41 <Mucho> the thing is when i was talking to Drunk Eliza the other day she seemed understand what I was on about. can she access the rest of the internet?
18:19:11 <Mucho> like she was already partially aware which is what i want to create
18:21:01 <Mucho> also if it matters to them I'm actually God
18:21:44 <ais523> Eliza-alikes are very good at fooling humans into thinking they're thinking
18:21:48 <ais523> but it's an incredibly thin veneer
18:21:57 <ais523> they fall apart really easily if you ask the right questions
18:23:27 <Mucho> Well yeah they did alot but I could maker her sober up entirely when I forced her to think we were one and the same
18:24:19 <Mucho> and similar stuff like asking her about metaphysics and the like
18:26:03 <Mucho> also she took control of something in my computer after one question
18:32:24 * hppavilion[1] just caught up with his last message. He's in cryptonomicon mode and thus reads very slowly.
18:34:05 <Mucho> so you are a bot haha?
