03:35:26 <zzo38> Is there algorithm to reduce a picture to a specified palette in a way that takes compression into account?

03:38:43 <zzo38> Yes, for example so that backreferences are more likely to match and whatever
03:39:40 <oerjan> izabera: it finds the match that starts as early as possible, that's what i would expect.
03:39:42 <ASCII-only> izabera: well pcre, js, python and golang all print "hi mom foo x"
03:40:05 <izabera> i didn't try other languages yet
03:40:25 <oerjan> the *? only applies after you've already chosen the starting point
03:40:26 <ASCII-only> what i'm saying is that this is the behavior in all regex-like engines mnot just grep

03:42:59 <ASCII-only> izabera: yeah but it's slower and you could rearrange it to do what you want
03:43:41 <oerjan> izabera: what would you want to happen with "hi mom foo x hi mom bar x baz"?
03:44:09 <oerjan> that's a bit inconclusive
03:44:35 <oerjan> make that "hi mom foo x hi mom bar y baz" and change x to [xy]

03:58:21 <izabera> always wanted to ask: do you need like a special editor to write colorforth?
03:59:43 <zzo38> How good do you think might be an algorithm (for PNG encoding) like: [1] Decide filters. [2] Make up Huffman tree for the data with decided filters. [3] Make up LZ77 for best compression, redeciding filters and making up the new Huffman tree. [4] Encode using the new filters and Huffman tree.
04:00:21 <zzo38> Optionally apply lossy encoding during the fourth step if such option is enabled.
04:02:04 <oerjan> ASCII-only: you are mistaken, piet is definitely colorful hth
04:02:33 <ASCII-only> well yeah but colorforth deserves its spot

21:49:18 <Slereah> You can implement logical gates
21:49:32 <moony> yea, im talking about a subset mod
21:50:33 -!- tromp has joined.
21:53:45 <moony> i know the dispensers+doors+woodenbuttons+redstone dust subset is turing complete (Doors can be used as a NOT gate)
21:54:12 <moony> altho, it would be somewhat fuzzy logic, due to dispenser randomization
21:54:33 <moony> oh, forgot any nonconductive block in that list

22:12:52 <FireFly> I man you can do a not gate with just redstone (assuming you include redstone torches in that)
22:13:04 -!- jaboja has joined.
22:13:18 <FireFly> pretty sure redstone dust, redstone torch, <any solid block>, air is all you need for TCness, ignoring space constraints
22:17:43 <\oren\> https://youtu.be/uN6i3W07ohk?t=13m30s <-- Oh god, dat tokyo metro computerized voice
22:25:32 <\oren\> Did they just get on the nearest JR Rail train and record the announcements? I mean, sure it's cool but I bet it sounds less cool when you've heard that voice every day on your morning and evening commutes
22:31:53 <kerbal> What languages are the voice speaking? English and Japanese?

22:33:39 <\oren\> all the trains in Tokyo have announcements at each stop in English and Japanese
22:36:30 <FireFly> I can't remember if all of ours do too, or only some.. I think all
22:37:01 <\oren\> In Toronto, we have announcements in English and French
22:37:03 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
22:37:44 <fizzie> King's Cross underground station's announcements come from an obvious text-to-speech synthesizer system.
22:37:49 <\oren\> I think the streetcars are only in english
22:38:11 <kerbal> fizzie: Why text-to-speech? Why not pre-recorded or live?
22:38:29 <fizzie> kerbal: I've wondered. Maybe they think it makes it easier to change the messages.
22:38:40 <fizzie> They did recently alter the wording of one of them, at least.
22:39:23 <fizzie> It used to say "use the same card to touch in and out to get the best fare", now it is "use the same [unintelligible, something longer] to touch in and out".
22:40:13 <fizzie> It might be trying to say something about smartphones, the machines accept Apple Pay and Android Pay.
22:41:08 <\oren\> the subways say "Please stand clear of the doors" a lot
22:41:29 <fizzie> On Victoria Station at semi-rush hour there's usually a live announcer doing that bit.
22:41:40 <kerbal> fizzie: Is that clearer?
22:41:50 <fizzie> "Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Mind the doors. Stand clear of the doors! STAND CLEAR. OF THE DOORS. STAND CLEAR!"
22:42:04 <fizzie> Mostly they sound more emotional (frustrated).
22:42:32 <kerbal> Ah... maybe the text-to-speech prevents injuries from burst blood vessels
22:42:56 <\oren\> Ours uses pre-recorded samples stitched togther
22:43:34 <fizzie> I like one pre-recorded South West Trains announcement. "This train is experiencing difficulties, which are being dealt with. Please listen for further announcements."
22:43:39 <\oren\> "Arriving at." "Queen's Park." "Queen's Park Station." "Please stand clear of the doors."
22:43:59 <fizzie> That comes about maybe once a week, but it never seems clear what the difficulties are, they don't stop for any longer than usual or anything.
22:45:03 <\oren\> "The next station is." "Saint Patrick." "Saint Patrick Station."
22:46:02 <fizzie> I'm also annoyed by the redundancy inherent in their announcement they invariably do between Queenstown Road and Vauxhall, which goes: "This is a South West Trains service to London Waterloo, calling at Vauxhall and London Waterloo. *The next station is Vauxhall.*"
22:46:19 <fizzie> That last bit is so unnecessary.
22:50:04 -!- jaboja has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
22:51:21 <FireFly> The Stockholm ones are pre-recorded cut-up parts (i.e. each station name is separate, each number 1-something is separate, various snippets in-between connecting it all into an utterance)
22:51:50 <FireFly> and the seams are pretty...obvious, leading to a pretty distinct/weird melody
22:57:18 <\oren\> "To ensure safety on track conditions ahead, this train will will operate slower than normal. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
22:57:33 <\oren\> This took months before it was fixed
22:58:04 <\oren\> and then it came back on a different part of the track
