asciilifeform | or what, mircea_popescu would've stayed in mathematics if not for the squigglies | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | there's plenty of squigglies in physics too. i never much cared. | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | there's no particular boon to understanding to be had from squiggling. | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | it isn't about magical force of squiggle, but elementarily FITTING A THING ON A PAGE that would not otherwise fit in one eyeful. | [00:01] |
mircea_popescu | my brain doesn't work by thje eyefull iom not a fucking toad omfg | [00:01] |
asciilifeform | and if your working memory is titanic and you laugh, all that is needed is to come up with an example that straddles the line ~for you~ | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | do you think i presently notated the merchant of venice so 3555 liunes fit in one page ? | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | it's still in my fucking head. i read it. wtf. | [00:02] |
asciilifeform | just like you can brag about being a muscle man, but i can always fill a knapsack that you cannot move with, so you cannot say 'it does not matter what a knapsack weighs!111' | [00:02] |
asciilifeform | merchant of venice != theorem | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | and you're gonna paint it red and fix it ? | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | because why! | [00:02] |
asciilifeform | same basic idea as cpu cache | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | there is such a thing as fits-in-head | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | i'm not a fucking cpu. | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | your head is a finite thing. | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | yes, and your option is to either do a retarded sort of implicity tree by using hyeroglyphicd | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | just like everybody;s. | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | or else make the thing plain text and sort it in your head like a functioning brain already. | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | if mircea_popescu posts the plaintext rigorous green's theorem, i promise to read it.. | [00:04] |

mircea_popescu | you people. | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | that dude goes hey, rewrite this chunk of the english cannon, it is broken | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | then you with this | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | what do you think i am, a race horse ? | [00:04] |

mircea_popescu | half the fucking things i do here each day and every day is exactly that, force people to properly plaintext their shit. | [00:05] |
mircea_popescu | and he still wants a proof because the log is not here or something | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | speaking of this & earlier thread, a treatise on 'v' philosophy is definitely a necessary thing | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | myeah. | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | i tried to write it, actually, and ran out of juice | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | ended up writing v instead | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | easier. | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | got any pieces ? | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | i don't see this emerging other than by piecemeal correction, honestly. | [00:07] |
asciilifeform | nothing immediately usable. might take another stab at it on the train tomorrow | [00:07] |
* | asciilifeform is watching the scrolling logs from his trb nodez, it is like music, so smooth | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | no 'blackholing', etc., any of it. | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | (since patch) | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | For any smooth, simple closed positively oriented curve in a plane, if two functions are defined on any open region containing the area bounded by that curve, should those functions have continuous derivatives in the region then the integral over their sum is the integral over the region's integration of their differential. | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | how's that. | [00:10] |
* | asciilifeform finds himself mentally converting this to proper format !11 | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | lol | [00:11] |
asciilifeform | also reminds me of canonical ru kidz rhyme, | [00:11] |
asciilifeform | 'Тело, впернутое в воду Выпирает на свободу. С массой выпертой воды Тела, впертого туды!' | [00:11] |
asciilifeform | (archimede's law) | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | let me put this another way : the first, the cheapest and most formidable weapon every science teacher has to ferret out the cheat | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | is to hold up a piece of exam paper and say "now explain to me what's in here". | [00:11] |
asciilifeform | now this, yes | [00:12] |
mircea_popescu | you know this is so. you know it distinguishes the pass from the cheat. | [00:12] |
mircea_popescu | so then... what are we on about! | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | ought to include even building rubber band model. | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | the canonical representation that is to be worked with by a serious user. | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | (vs a kid asked to prove that he hadn't cribbed.) | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | can you picture a computeralgebratron that eats english ? | [00:13] |
asciilifeform | that doesn't make user want to eat his pistol ? | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | but this is not the point! | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | i eat it. | [00:13] |
mod6 | i like the idea that we could have a regular char set, like 127 bit ascii, and do everything from this. and if you need Sigma, its SIG, or LAMBDA, its LMA or Absolute Value, ABS. | [00:15] |
mircea_popescu | no fucking way, this isn't how derive worked!!11 | [00:15] |
mircea_popescu | pssshhhh | [00:15] |
asciilifeform | mod6: visit a university library and read the atrocious typewriter manuscripts. | [00:15] |
asciilifeform | and weep. | [00:15] |
mod6 | haha. | [00:15] |
mircea_popescu | did you or did youi not type ABS(x dx) in derive until you dropped! | [00:16] |
mod6 | it just seems like stuff like this works well: <+mircea_popescu> For any smooth, simple closed positively oriented curve in a plane, if two functions are defined on any open region containing the area bounded by that curve, should those functions have continuous derivatives in the region then the integral over their sum is the integral over the region's integration of their differential. | [00:16] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: sure did | [00:16] |
mod6 | and then when it doesn't there's alway some short hand one could do without resorting to unicode or PS. | [00:16] |
asciilifeform | mod6: now verbalize a tensor. | [00:17] |
mircea_popescu | "a tensor" | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | or so much as an ordinary quaternion. | [00:17] |

asciilifeform | ^ lulzz | [00:17] |
mod6 | i dunno? sig = [T(e1)T(e2)T(e3)] | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | ahahahaha but not verbal !! | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | you used... notation!11 | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | and for the record : NO THEOREM, no rule or function or anything in ALL OF MATH can survive without the [usually more important] limits and domain definition. | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | aha | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | i couldn't care less you use sigma or the integral. what matters is the foreword | [00:18] |
mod6 | something like that? im not really only saying verbal. im just saying, hey, lets practice safe ascii. | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | there is always chunks we haven't any shorthand for, yes | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | now simbolize "positive oriented curve" | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | so then what the bloody hell. | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | verbal dressing is 'part of balanced diet.' | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | pfff | [00:19] |
mircea_popescu | the "symbolized" math thing makes kids stupid | [00:19] |
mircea_popescu | (they focus on the domain and fail to comprehend the limit. it's how we neded up with the power rangers in the first place. | [00:19] |
mircea_popescu | the heresies of barbarians are not accidental, but driven by fundamental stupidities of their culture.) | [00:19] |
asciilifeform | they are driven by what the broken pieces are that they find to glue into mosaics, are of. | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | whether roman frescoes or 19th c. mathematics. | [00:20] |
mircea_popescu | i bet you they all grew up as kids among a herd of wolves worshipping the symbol, never once thinking to make them write it down in words. | [00:20] |
mircea_popescu | and then you wonder why idiot anglos have "issues" with word problems. | [00:20] |
mircea_popescu | wonder away. | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | wai wut | [00:20] |
mod6 | <+mircea_popescu> "a tensor" << haha, i missed this | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | 'tenser, said the tensor' (tm) (r) (bester) | [00:21] |
mircea_popescu | yeah well ? | [00:21] |
asciilifeform | lacan et al made the exact same kind of salad from words | [00:21] |
mircea_popescu | not at all. | [00:22] |
asciilifeform | as mathemasturbatory abusers from symbols | [00:22] |
mircea_popescu | nah, those are just idiots, the lacan troop were actual trolls. | [00:22] |
mircea_popescu | guy had a (rather transparent) profit motive. | [00:22] |
asciilifeform | takes an expert entomologist to distinguish the result | [00:22] |
mircea_popescu | this it does. | [00:22] |
* | diana_coman has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) | [00:24] |
mod6 | I guess this does actually effect us a bit -- i mean, lets say we wanna do some math modeling or expound upon some properties of something fourier whatever, and send it to the ML... now you gotta have it in ascii otherwise you can't sign it. | [00:25] |
mircea_popescu | aha | [00:26] |
mircea_popescu | the reason we spend so much ink on this is that it is in fact the biggest problem we met yet. | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | y'know, just because you force the 8th bit of every bt to 0 doesn't make it 'human-readable' | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | as the xml bozos taught us, to much grief | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | in fact, this is exactly the kind of error that gave us xml | [00:27] |
mircea_popescu | you're so far not content with A FINITE ALPHABET! | [00:27] |
mircea_popescu | heathen | [00:27] |
asciilifeform | finite includes the symbols of cultured men | [00:27] |
mircea_popescu | you can't finite the infinite arbitrarily. | [00:27] |
mircea_popescu | for all you knwo your kid will come up with novel shit. | [00:27] |
asciilifeform | eh that's easy | [00:27] |
asciilifeform | culture stopped. | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | pfff | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | but in point of fact glyphs ought to work like amiga .MOD music file format. | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | anyway, i'm not prepared for this matter to get a ruling. | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | much further argument must yet be heard. | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | i.e. you would embed the glyph, if it is a non-traditional one, and represented as an s-expr driving a vectorizer | [00:29] |
asciilifeform | in a logical way | [00:29] |
mircea_popescu | "as the xml bozos taught us, to much grief" | [00:29] |
asciilifeform | (in .MOD, instrument patches are part of the file) | [00:29] |
asciilifeform | i'm half-convinced that naggum painfully killed himself to pay for xml. | [00:30] |
mircea_popescu | they tried the same sleigh of hand, basically. "oh, driving a vectorizer in a logical way" | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | how about you drink benzene and talk to the stove. | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | in a logical way. | [00:31] |
asciilifeform | l0l | [00:31] |
asciilifeform | thing is, anything the xml folks did was doomed to be an act of retardation. because they ~were~ the wrong people. | [00:31] |
asciilifeform | the wrong people had a seat at the table. | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | ya im sure you're special. | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | the secret to winning the war isn't to make the other motherfucker die for his country. it's to discourage this motherfucking from thinking he can walk up the wall. | [00:32] |
asciilifeform | it was a classical 'committee' thing. | [00:32] |
mircea_popescu | so it was. | [00:32] |
mircea_popescu | it'd have failed even more miserably if god himself sat with budhha and fucked the actual shiva on that very table. | [00:33] |
asciilifeform | the whole xml (actually sgml, the root of the disease) crock of shit was fundamentally an intellectual crime in that it set out by pretending that sexpr did not exist, that lisp never happened | [00:34] |
mod6 | <+mircea_popescu> how about you drink benzene and talk to the stove. << haha | [00:34] |
asciilifeform | and 'reasoned' from there | [00:34] |
asciilifeform | and bloviating louts got to 'solve' the 'problem' | [00:34] |
asciilifeform | in the now very familiar usgtronic sense. | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | they did all sorts of stupid shit, but again, the whole "a wizard did it, to a vectorizer, logically" is enough to sink that ship. | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | everyone always wanting to have jets. | [00:35] |
asciilifeform | 'truetype', the thing that made the adobe partners rich, was actually this | [00:35] |

asciilifeform | i can write an exploitable calculator, what of it. | [00:37] |
mircea_popescu | ima give this theory a very cautious maybe. | [00:37] |
asciilifeform | incidentally, sgml was ibm grasping for a relevance toehold | [00:40] |
asciilifeform | knowing that it Musted Die | [00:40] |
asciilifeform | searched for a way to sink a claw into the living. | [00:40] |
asciilifeform | like any proper кощей. | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | ibm cavorted in a 'lisp never happened' parallel universe for a loooong time. | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | arguably, even NOW. | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | and the bloody mess worked as a magnet for ten thousand insect men | [00:42] |
asciilifeform | fond of 'libraryizing', categorizing, classifying, filing and misfiling. | [00:42] |
asciilifeform | see, e.g., RDF/ | [00:43] |

asciilifeform | OWL. | [00:43] |
asciilifeform | these buggers ~won~, in the sense of extinguishing all life in anything they touched. | [00:43] |
mircea_popescu | eh, life managed to extinguish itself on its very own well enough. | [00:44] |
trinque | asciilifeform │ and (λ (x y) (....)) ~is~ superior to (lambda... << with this I have no problem at all. | [00:46] |
asciilifeform | l0l trinque missed mega-thr3ad | [00:46] |
trinque | :( but I am enjoying it! | [00:47] |
phf | apropos i like how cl does it, there's a set of characters that are predefined to be standard and portable, and it's basically an mp set: alphabet, digits, top row, handful of controls like newline. each character has a numeric code and a verbose name #a # #space # ewline. there's a handful of predicates that let you query characters basic nature, upcasep/downcasep/whitespacep. that's it. an implementation though can choose to |
[00:48] |
phf | include any number of extra characters, say code 120 #lambda, and also decide how it wants to present them to console/file (say, by writing unicode, or letting user choose the encoding). so a maxima machine can have a set of mathematical symbols for there and then, but not with any sort of claim to univesality. | [00:48] |
asciilifeform | phf: iirc originally standard was to understand what glyphs are | [00:49] |
asciilifeform | it is how character became a distinct type | [00:49] |
asciilifeform | non-interchangeable with numerics | [00:49] |
asciilifeform | note ^ | [00:49] |
asciilifeform | but it was nixed, because folks other than symbolics were allowed to have their tard-say | [00:49] |
asciilifeform | and so the result was, as always is from committee, a chimera. | [00:50] |
mircea_popescu | wait, wut ? | [00:50] |
asciilifeform | https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node135.html | [00:51] |
assbot | 13. Characters ... ( http://bit.ly/1UKQpaV ) | [00:51] |
mircea_popescu | "In general, characters in Common Lisp are not true objects; eq cannot be counted upon to operate on them reliably. In particular, it is possible that the expression | [00:51] |
mircea_popescu | (leti (eq x y)) | [00:51] |
mircea_popescu | may be false rather than true, if the value of z is a character." | [00:51] |
mircea_popescu | oh get the fuck out. | [00:51] |
asciilifeform | 'Each character code is composed from a character script and a character label. The convention by which a character script and character label compose a character code is implementation dependent. [X3J13 did not approve all parts of the proposal from its Subcommittee on Characters. As a result, some features that were approved appear to have no purpose.' | [00:51] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: this is CORRECT | [00:51] |
mircea_popescu | correct to what. | [00:52] |

mircea_popescu | what ? | [00:53] |
asciilifeform | you can search any set of anything for which equality is defined! | [00:53] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: that was a warning not to attach side effects to the act of comparison | [00:53] |
mircea_popescu | who the fuck writes code like this. | [00:53] |

asciilifeform | know that ~somebody~ must have. | [00:54] |
mircea_popescu | dude if you imagine it is acceptable for me to sit here looking at two strings AND NOT KNOW exactly what the machine will do if i tell it to search | [00:54] |
mircea_popescu | you're from another universe. | [00:54] |
asciilifeform | the machine will compare every element to your search item. | [00:54] |
asciilifeform | what part of this is a mega-mystery. | [00:54] |
mircea_popescu | does it bubblesort ? | [00:55] |

asciilifeform | how else | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | no, this is not how search works "anywhere" in the universe. | [00:56] |
asciilifeform | i get it, mircea_popescu wants boyer-moore | [00:56] |
asciilifeform | etc | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | the bit discussing the cheating involved in the asm translation of search in c was added to the log about a year ago | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | recall it ? | [00:56] |
asciilifeform | nope | [00:57] |
asciilifeform | was this the old-unixen thread ? | [00:57] |
mircea_popescu | well now ima gonna have to search won't i ;/ | [00:57] |
* | samO_ has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) | [00:58] |
mircea_popescu | the idea was that it sacrificed outlier cases to get a better performance curve geared towards more common cases | [00:58] |
mircea_popescu | by jumping the index, smashing stacks and doing all sorts of shenanigans. | [00:59] |
phf | asciilifeform: i think numerics is a truly dodgy tradeoff. it took me until quite recently to grok that "character code == ascii" or "character code == unicode codepoint" are not the only two possible interpretations. | [00:59] |
* | mircea_popescu gives up in frustration. if anyone recalls the damned thing say. | [01:00] |
asciilifeform | phf: and yet one still finds people arithmetizing on characters, thinking that they are doing nothing wrong, then wondering why unicode is retarded and anything involving it is a crock of shit where so much as a fart runs in O(N) at best | [01:00] |
mircea_popescu | "As an example, table 13-1 shows the character labels, graphic symbols, and character descriptions for all of the characters in the repertoire standard-char except for #Space and #Newline." | [01:01] |

mircea_popescu | mno. if we read the very table referenced, we find | [01:02] |
mircea_popescu | SM01 # number sign | [01:02] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: it is an in-band magic sequence denoting a named character | [01:02] |
mircea_popescu | so apparently characters are introduced by ... an escape sequence (lol)... which happens to be... NUMBER SIGN ? | [01:02] |
mircea_popescu | is this deliberately self-mocking humour ? | [01:02] |
asciilifeform | it's what grew on the keyboard. | [01:02] |
mircea_popescu | this doesn't make you lol ? | [01:03] |
asciilifeform | could've just as easily been a ^ | [01:03] |
mircea_popescu | but it isn't. | [01:03] |
mircea_popescu | so characters ARE numbers, aite ? | [01:03] |

asciilifeform | BUT they are not a ring. | [01:04] |
mircea_popescu | no, in the sense that they are specifically labelled thus with a label specifically made to label numbers. | [01:04] |
asciilifeform | mno. | [01:04] |
asciilifeform | they are not a ring. | [01:04] |
asciilifeform | and they are not ordered. | [01:04] |
mircea_popescu | right, "|they could have also called it penis sign" | [01:04] |
mircea_popescu | they aren't ordered ? so "a" > "b" returns undefined ? | [01:05] |
asciilifeform | returns whatever satan prepared for this sinful occasion, yes. | [01:05] |
mircea_popescu | but this is blatantly not how the alphabet goes. | [01:05] |

assbot | CLHS: Section 13.1.6 ... ( http://bit.ly/1SL6EGi ) | [01:06] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform so is there a special function to inquire which of two comes before in the alphabet ? | [01:06] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: there is NOT a 'the alphabet' in the cl standard ! | [01:06] |
mircea_popescu | "Of the standard characters, those which are alphanumeric obey the following partial ordering:" | [01:07] |
mircea_popescu | this shit's so retarded... | [01:07] |
mircea_popescu | partial ordering ? rly ? | [01:07] |
asciilifeform | the committee could not and did not, afaik, remotely contemplate attempting to invent unicode or similar. | [01:07] |
mircea_popescu | so if i sort a file containing a bunch of words, i do not know if i should look for ___stuff at the end or beginning or scattered anywhere. | [01:08] |
mircea_popescu | who comes up with this shit ? | [01:08] |
asciilifeform | and it is ~wrong~ to IMPLICITLY arithmetize on non-arithmetic objects. | [01:08] |
asciilifeform | asking what 'A' + 'B' is equal to, | [01:08] |
asciilifeform | is talking-to-the-stove. | [01:08] |
asciilifeform | while drinking benzene by the litre. | [01:08] |
mircea_popescu | nevertheless, sorting lists of words is the most basic, primary, entrly level task for any scribe. | [01:08] |
mircea_popescu | and i should not be surprised, lest the scribe gets her ass colored. | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: you can trivially define a partial ordering when sorting | [01:09] |
mircea_popescu | i can also trivially define the new location of washington dc. | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | but have to ~explicitly~ do it | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | hey it could mov | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | e | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | like ulab batur !!11 | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | *ulan | [01:09] |
mircea_popescu | the fucking point of having an alphabet is that no, it couldn't move. | [01:09] |
asciilifeform | kept movin' till, when, 20th c? | [01:10] |
asciilifeform | ru alphabet moved plenty | [01:10] |
mircea_popescu | and no, i won't be looking for the beatles records past the why records. | [01:10] |
mircea_popescu | yes but ru are idiots. | [01:10] |
phf | mircea_popescu: wait, partial ordering in this case means that alphabet is ordered. it's meaningless things like "is _ greater then a" that are not defined | [01:10] |
asciilifeform | and the latin christendom, clever ? | [01:10] |
mircea_popescu | phf and if idiots make functions going ___function where in the ordered list do i look for them ? | [01:10] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform that's besides the point :D | [01:10] |
asciilifeform | incidentally, was anybody else cruelly shocked as a kid when discovering that the 8th-bit upper 'ansi' character of msdos is NOT standardized ? | [01:13] |
asciilifeform | and failing to find it on one's first unix box. | [01:13] |
BingoBoingo | [01:13] | |
asciilifeform | BingoBoingo: why not ask him ? | [01:14] |
asciilifeform | iirc he's findable | [01:14] |
BingoBoingo | Not full of benzene | [01:14] |
BingoBoingo | findable yes, predictable output??? | [01:14] |
phf | mircea_popescu: there are parts of standard that are underspecified :) | [01:14] |
mircea_popescu | im unimpressed. | [01:15] |
asciilifeform | picture if satan lifted his magic wand, and, somehow, mpex and glbse (!) and havel0l, et al, had to ALL sit down and STANDARDIZE the stock exchange ... | [01:16] |
phf | the only redeeming quality in this case, that there aren't better standards available, except for maybe Ada (i've not looked). you end up with trade offs, or hard constraints that make the result non-portable. a positive aspect of cl standard is that you get reasonably similar behavior on very wide range of hardware, but i agree that things could always be better | [01:16] |
asciilifeform | in a way that doesn't leave the crud exchanges simply going to a pit to die | [01:17] |
asciilifeform | because oh noez, they get voicez!11111 | [01:17] |
asciilifeform | representation! | [01:17] |
asciilifeform | this is sorta what happened. symbolics co. had to 'compromise' with the turd vendors | [01:17] |
asciilifeform | whose lisps didn't even run on a real graphical console | [01:17] |
asciilifeform | (the entire process took place at all, as i gather, because foolishly smbx thought it could finesse the process) | [01:18] |
mircea_popescu | and why did they ? | [01:18] |
mircea_popescu | nothing wrong with "fuck you, you're childrten, go away. this is the spec." | [01:18] |
mircea_popescu | it's after all what mpex did. the children did go away. | [01:19] |
mircea_popescu | the "concerned parents" wanna-bes with them. | [01:19] |
asciilifeform | because this was not quite it. | [01:19] |
asciilifeform | there were multiple licensees of the original mit machine | [01:19] |
mircea_popescu | anyway. i have no intention to bake in historical idiocy, and especially not of this ilk. | [01:19] |
mircea_popescu | i have had enough seawater in the shape of bitcoin genesis | [01:19] |
asciilifeform | (early on, it was not clear that smbx would annihilate the rest) | [01:20] |
asciilifeform | much less that it would shortly after, die. | [01:20] |
mircea_popescu | depending on who you asked, it was "not clear" that mpex will bury mtgox, let alone bitcoinica. | [01:20] |
mircea_popescu | now that... | [01:20] |
asciilifeform | was it mircea_popescu who had the article with the giant and his chair ? | [01:20] |
mircea_popescu | among many others, im sure. | [01:20] |
mircea_popescu | anyway. i have nothing against lisp, neither historically nor intellectually. but this is an unsatisfactory notion of an alphabet. | [01:21] |
mircea_popescu | while the idea that "letters aren't numbers, sit down" is sound, | [01:21] |
mircea_popescu | there's as the romanians say, "mai e mult pina departe". there's a lot to go to far away. | [01:21] |
asciilifeform | so is A > α ? | [01:22] |
asciilifeform | or not ? | [01:22] |
asciilifeform | or do i not get an α ? | [01:22] |
mircea_popescu | pick one. | [01:22] |
mircea_popescu | also, do you get two A's ? | [01:22] |
mircea_popescu | because capital alpha is A. | [01:22] |
asciilifeform | and how about ∀ ? | [01:22] |
mircea_popescu | you actually aim to use a dword for the alphabet encoding ? | [01:23] |
mircea_popescu | how's it gonna fit in your head ? | [01:23] |
asciilifeform | this is not implicit in the question, is it | [01:23] |
mircea_popescu | suppose you limit yourself to a hundred or so of these. | [01:23] |
mircea_popescu | that way i can look at a piece of paper with them | [01:23] |
* | tripleslash_v (~triplesla@unaffiliated/imsaguy) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [01:23] |

mircea_popescu | nature makes do with a hundred or so. you're better ? | [01:24] |
asciilifeform | what if i said that α ought to live as an s-expr equalling (low (greek 0)) ? | [01:24] |
mircea_popescu | is that tetha ? | [01:24] |
asciilifeform | zero | [01:24] |
mircea_popescu | uh | [01:24] |
asciilifeform | (this is not a notation on any existing system, i invented it) | [01:24] |
mircea_popescu | so you're going to just have indexes ? | [01:25] |
mircea_popescu | isn't this contrary to everything you been saying to date ? | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | it has useful semantic structure | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | and is operable | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | e.g., i can turn it into an aleph | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | or an upper-case | [01:25] |
mircea_popescu | why specifically "low". | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | indices make sense ~where defined~ | [01:25] |
mircea_popescu | why not (cool(aromatic(1)) | [01:25] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: because buncha medieval bozos decided they like small/big letter | [01:26] |
asciilifeform | because these are not meaningfully-toggleable properties of a character ? | [01:26] |
asciilifeform | break the thing into its proper subatomics. | [01:26] |
mircea_popescu | so do we have the complete set of "meaningfully-toggleable properties" of characters set in stone ? | [01:26] |
asciilifeform | at least for the chars a cultured man might use | [01:27] |
mircea_popescu | is greek low 0 equal to low greek 0 ? | [01:27] |
phf | welcome to unicode land | [01:27] |
asciilifeform | either true or an error and the machine kicks you for asking | [01:27] |
asciilifeform | pick. | [01:27] |
mircea_popescu | phf which is why i said, it's contrary to everything he was saying. | [01:27] |
asciilifeform | i don't see how. | [01:27] |
asciilifeform | unicode is an idiot ordering of EVERYTHING | [01:27] |
mircea_popescu | what's the uppercase of integral sign ? | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | itself. | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | thing about it | [01:28] |
mircea_popescu | what's the lowercase of the sum sign ? | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | (if you ask for uppercase(.......) for any .... that includes such a sign, what do you expect to see ? | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | ) | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | same. | [01:28] |
asciilifeform | this is, again, consistent with sanity | [01:28] |
mircea_popescu | what happened to σ ? | [01:28] |
mircea_popescu | and for that matter ς ? | [01:29] |
asciilifeform | and you would set fire to a machine that behaved otherwise! | [01:29] |
mircea_popescu | (yes, greek sigma has two lowercases!) | [01:29] |
asciilifeform | they oughta be separate chars in alphabet then | [01:29] |
asciilifeform | if one must have'em both. | [01:29] |
mircea_popescu | but what of low ? | [01:29] |
mircea_popescu | low 1 0 ? | [01:29] |
mircea_popescu | well... tenser, said the tensor σ! | [01:30] |
asciilifeform | l0l!!1 | [01:30] |
mod6 | hah | [01:30] |
mircea_popescu | also, iirc ς is worth 200 in greek | [01:30] |
* | asciilifeform wonders if there are folks reading this on ascii terminals going 'wut' | [01:31] |
mircea_popescu | so logically, the tensor is the lowercase of the sum, and it's equal to two Cs | [01:31] |
mircea_popescu | i think we're close to a math breakthrough here. | [01:31] |
asciilifeform | now all we need is some meta-lsd to inject straight into my eyeball | [01:31] |
asciilifeform | so i can grasp. | [01:31] |

mircea_popescu | i don't see why you think this answer is not retarded. | [01:39] |

mircea_popescu | Tubro, the fat Panamanian God of Money is a useful notion | [01:40] |

asciilifeform | because they are not the SAME sheet | [01:40] |
asciilifeform | you see no difference between this and a random piece of excreta ? | [01:41] |
mircea_popescu | there is no actual meaning to proposing Σ-which-i-interpreted-as-sum and Σ-which-i-interpreted-as-plotin are somehow different in the "eq" manner but similar in the "equal" manner. | [01:41] |
mircea_popescu | because the computer is not in your fucking head. | [01:41] |
asciilifeform | if all you get is a Σ on paper - then, no | [01:42] |
mircea_popescu | a sign is a sign. | [01:42] |
asciilifeform | but mapping is not 1 to 1. | [01:42] |
mircea_popescu | it carries no meaning. | [01:42] |
mircea_popescu | attempting to make the sign carry your guts is not going to result in a functioning computer. | [01:42] |

mircea_popescu | phf well if you have this tag-and-glyph duality you're wide fucking open to the issue. | [01:46] |
phf | you can't make any statements about chars using eq. eq is a special beast used to test ~von neumann~ identity. and all the comments in the spec are related to that. sometimes (eq 1 1) but (eq 123123 123123) is not | [01:48] |
phf | it's a totally technical low level detail for explicitly managing your memory, and speeding up operations | [01:48] |
phf | you can expect eq to compile to some asm level equality procedure | [01:49] |
mircea_popescu | or in a less charitable view, it's a half assed attempt to hand-gcc. | [01:49] |
phf | bringing this into char discussion makes no sense whatsoever because spec explicitly says you can't | [01:49] |
phf | mircea_popescu: correct | [01:49] |

asciilifeform | did not see any reason to read beyond this. | [09:40] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform lemme say this to you : | [09:40] |
mircea_popescu | "pătratul lungimii ipotenuzei este egal cu suma pătratelor catetelor" | [09:40] |
mircea_popescu | what did i say ? | [09:40] |
asciilifeform | pythagor ? | [09:41] |
mircea_popescu | aha. | [09:41] |
asciilifeform | and yes, we know that it worked for the greeks. | [09:42] |
mircea_popescu | now what's the symbol for hypotenuse ? or do we not know this exists. | [09:42] |
asciilifeform | they were not trying to build 5,000-story towers! | [09:42] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform you will note THEY ALSO DID NOT NEED TO. | [09:42] |
asciilifeform | no symbol because the greeks were not averse to actually drawing the triangle. | [09:42] |
asciilifeform | but go and draw a hilbert space. | [09:42] |
mircea_popescu | don't idly suppose you're better than the greeks just because you have more maggots eating more cans of spam. | [09:42] |
asciilifeform | me - no. gauss - motherfucking yes. | [09:43] |
mircea_popescu | gauss wrote his shit out. review the notes. | [09:43] |
mircea_popescu | so did newton. so did all of them. so did fucking feynman which is WHY youadmire him | [09:43] |
mircea_popescu | not coincidental to the admiration, but integral. | [09:43] |
asciilifeform | feynman used standard mathematical notation. | [09:43] |
asciilifeform | and yes, explained the basics, he was a teacher ! | [09:44] |
mircea_popescu | he reads it out half the fucking time | [09:44] |
asciilifeform | but note that he did not try 'let's use only ascii for all of mathematics' | [09:44] |
mircea_popescu | the difference between a thinking man and a hack is that a hack goes "hey, i can't explain this without a blackboard" | [09:44] |
mircea_popescu | he did, yes, but i won't count it because at his time (40s) he had no other options. | [09:44] |
asciilifeform | he had the option of typesetting on a 'selectric' and having that go straight to press | [09:45] |
mircea_popescu | his work, on the machines, is actually quite lispy. in the ONLY UPPERCASE EXISTS sense of lispy | [09:45] |
asciilifeform | as many poor profs did | [09:45] |
mircea_popescu | he was an actual researcher. | [09:45] |
mircea_popescu | had to run the machines to do things. | [09:45] |
asciilifeform | incidentally, serious researchers often ended up doing the selectric-to-web-press thing, on account of sheer hurry | [09:45] |
asciilifeform | BUT if the product was any good, it always got redone and typeset properly | [09:46] |
asciilifeform | i wouldn't buy an ascii-art edition of feynman. | [09:46] |
mircea_popescu | so let it be said : that alphabet can NAME way more things than your symbolics can ever dream to represent. and for that matter, that from the multi-millenarian history of world culture, alphabetic notation does indeed convey richer, more numerous ideas in less space than hyeroglypghics do. which is why we fucked the chinese, and why egypt is muslim now. | [09:47] |
mircea_popescu | [09:47] | |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: alphabet != 26 idiot letters | [09:48] |
asciilifeform | and most cultures were mathematically zeroes. | [09:48] |
asciilifeform | until some folks broke free of the must-verbalize crapolade. | [09:48] |
mircea_popescu | looky : neither the egyptians nor the greeks were mathematically zeroes. | [09:49] |
mircea_popescu | the alphabetic greeks overtook the hyeroglyphic egyptioans. for this reason and this alone. | [09:49] |
mircea_popescu | mujch in the manner europe overtook china. | [09:49] |
asciilifeform | i get it, there is a fashion in the derp army of going around and 'i'm a visual thinker!11111'. this changes nothing. there are napoleons in your local loony bin, does not change the historic fact of napoleon. | [09:49] |
mircea_popescu | only 2000 years earlier. | [09:50] |
mircea_popescu | but so far we doth not even agree on the historical facts | [09:50] |

mircea_popescu | let's consider the following bit of clisp guts : | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | 2.2.1 Bad Declarations | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | This example is a mistake that is easy to make. The programmer here did not declare his arrays as fully as he could have. Therefore, each array access was about as slow as a function call when it should have been a few instructions. The original declaration was as follows: | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | (proclaim '(type (array fixnum *) *ar1* *ar2* *ar3*)) | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | The three arrays happen to be of fixed size, which is reflected in the following correct declaration: | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4)) *ar1*)) | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4 4)) *ar2*)) | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4 4 4)) *ar3*)) | [16:41] |
mircea_popescu | are you seriously going to tell me that the compiler fails to identify this optimization ?! | [16:42] |

ascii_butugychat | trinque: c++ sucks and this is one reason why | [20:09] |
trinque | for fucks sake. | [20:09] |
ascii_butugychat | a proper language lets you make operators, as in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=103 where i solved mr mold's puzzle by turning a running cl into his language | [20:09] |
assbot | Loper OS » Nock Nock (Part 1) ... ( http://bit.ly/1W57c9X ) | [20:09] |

ascii_butugychat | not cited for that reason | [20:10] |
trinque | nock, rather. | [20:10] |
ascii_butugychat | but i ~was~ able to redefine square brackets, ?, ^, etc | [20:11] |
trinque | your example is that "I was able to wrangle someone else's nonsense with lisp" and I agree it does that rather well. | [20:11] |
ascii_butugychat | trinque: ever do any serious original mathematics ? | [20:12] |
trinque | if it is up to you entirely to invent the notation, I don't know why one would go to one with non-obvious evaluation order and all manner of other problems I thought lisp solved | [20:12] |
ascii_butugychat | or so much as attempt ? | [20:12] |

ascii_butugychag | verbalize this for me. and explain why anyone outside of a mental asylum would want to manipulate the thing in that form. | [20:15] |
mircea_popescu | what's wrong with (a,b ; c,d) ? | [20:15] |
ascii_butugychag | that they are rows? of an inherently spatial thing ? | [20:16] |
ascii_butugychag | might represent, e.g., pixels ? | [20:16] |
trinque | can't write matrix multiplication in lisp eh? | [20:17] |
mircea_popescu | nope, can't be done. | [20:17] |
ascii_butugychag | can write in morse if you like | [20:17] |
ascii_butugychag | the thread concerned THINKING | [20:17] |
ascii_butugychag | as in, preferred format for manipulation. | [20:17] |
trinque | as for music I prefer a tracker, or yes, writing code to produce it | [20:17] |
ascii_butugychag | trinque: and your tracker is all-ascii, and runs on 'do, ra, mi' in paragraph form ? | [20:18] |
jurov | well, i thought thread concerns spreading of information and definition of alphabet | [20:18] |
ascii_butugychag | jurov: it was originally about 'whether maths require a graphics terminal' | [20:19] |
mircea_popescu | no, it was whether we'll be supporting anything but ascii | [20:19] |
ascii_butugychag | and the 'pdf must die and not replaced with anything like it' thing | [20:19] |

mircea_popescu | http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-01-2016#1368661 << rather. because it 'd be for once and all be an actually COMPLETE notation | [20:20] |
assbot | Logged on 12-01-2016 23:01:59; jurov: actually, having clear transcription rules between math symbols <-> plain english would be spiffy | [20:20] |
mircea_popescu | currently what alf counts as "notation" for math is roughly speaking a sort of c++ | [20:20] |
mircea_popescu | "kinda most of the stuff except what we don't understand" | [20:20] |
ascii_butugychag | it is imperfect | [20:21] |
ascii_butugychag | but it beats FUCKING WORDS | [20:21] |
mircea_popescu | no, it is not "imperfect". it is structurally broken | [20:21] |
mircea_popescu | and the argument that it "beats words" is not unlike the argument that clang "beats lisp" because "apple ipad!!11" | [20:21] |

mircea_popescu | what's the difference between the forty and the sixty pixel tall long line with the little vertical ends ? | [20:23] |

mircea_popescu | not even. it's just that i'm so allergic to "dynamically linked" bullshit that i barf at the very notion of a computing system that might need "expansions" because people don't want ot learn to read and write | [20:27] |
ascii_butugychag | why does it 'need expansions' ? | [20:27] |
mircea_popescu | do you understand that your computer is broken by design for as long as you allow the conceptual possibility of adding symbols ? | [20:27] |
ascii_butugychag | what's wrong with programmatic fonts ? | [20:27] |
mircea_popescu | nothing, as long as you don't expect me to run the program | [20:28] |
mircea_popescu | ie, they degrade gracefully. | [20:28] |

ascii_butugychag | for some reason i wonder if mircea_popescu has watched 'ascii starwars' | [20:28] |
mircea_popescu | i have an ascii art plugin for mah video player ? | [20:29] |
ascii_butugychag | does it convey the complete 'meaning of starwars' ? | [20:29] |
mircea_popescu | which yes, i sometimes watch. | [20:29] |
ascii_butugychag | mircea_popescu: iirc 'mplayer' does, aha | [20:29] |
mircea_popescu | oh, that's not a challenge. | [20:29] |
mircea_popescu | the complete meaning of star warsa can be conveyed in two lines. | [20:29] |
mircea_popescu | ~= equivalent to all the rest of the us pulp, call it hubbard and send it home. | [20:29] |
mircea_popescu | as long as what we do is we takeii and either print it as such or else draw it for your benefit as seen there, if you run a plug in everyone's happy. | [20:31] |
jurov | how is adding symbols different from you taking a word and redefining it? | [20:31] |
jurov | you abhor former, yet do latter often | [20:31] |
mircea_popescu | if you expect to have a [ that scales to lines, we got a problem. there's not going to be any 244/245/179 bs | [20:31] |
mircea_popescu | jurov the later is actually part of the graph. i can not meaningfully search for a motherfucking dot. | [20:32] |
mircea_popescu | or for his dumbass arrows in the example given yest. | [20:32] |

ascii_butugychag | mircea_popescu: i did say many times that a canonical representation of whatever is, rightfully, sexpr | [20:32] |
mircea_popescu | so then we basically are happy with an alphabet of ~100 ish characters and that's that. | [20:32] |
jurov | well if I have to explore context what a word mean, well, then it is C++ too | [20:33] |
ascii_butugychag | but somehow this turned into 'let's do maths as euclid did, with WORDZ!111' | [20:33] |
mircea_popescu | jurov there's a difference between a proper existing ast, such as we have with words, unless we're idiots ; and a random gcc barf product. | [20:33] |
mircea_popescu | ascii_butugychag well cuz you paniced and lost it. | [20:33] |
ascii_butugychag | incidentally, english does NOT guarantee you a sane (disambiguated) AST. | [20:34] |
ascii_butugychag | i thought this was known to all. | [20:34] |
mircea_popescu | in myhands it does. | [20:34] |
jurov | even with best affort of the author, ast in the recipients varies | [20:34] |
jurov | *effort | [20:35] |
mircea_popescu | that's the luser's problem. | [20:35] |
jurov | for spoken english | [20:35] |

phf | gabriel_laddel: i was drunk when answering you last time. i like the idea of a self-contained lisp system with ux built on top of xproto/xlib/zen, because can still attach c program outputs, and stream own output to unix systems proper. i've been building my own tools to be essentially a combination of cmucl repl, that spawn xlib windows on demand. not sure if you know but x is essentially a binary network protocol (described in | [21:22] |
phf | variations of "X Window System Protocol" documents), with xlib being its C implementation. core protocol is pretty simple, but problems start with protocol extensions of various levels of retardation (like xinerama, etc.) | [21:22] |
phf | how xserver talks to hardware is entirely outside the scope of protocol, since server accepts the xproto packets and then does rendering | [21:23] |

phf | main problem with zen right now is that it does rendering, but it uses opengl (glx specifically) as the framebuffer. i've not looked at the implementation bits, but i assume that it goes beyond simple blit, so you might be able to retarget it to other opengl, but not necessarily straight to framebuffer, without implementing your own blit level rendering primitives | [21:24] |
phf | also zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox. in fact last time i checked it didn't support xrander, which is an old image composition extension that might as well be standard | [21:25] |

phf | gabriel_laddel: gnuplot, xfoil kind of output, i.e. batch graphic, or anything that requires input with a mouse | [21:36] |
phf | i know you do clim, but running clim through zen is essentially simultaneously trying to debug two 70% speed/coverage projects. even simple handwritten xlib proggies don't work out of the box. | [21:41] |

gabriel_laddel | phf: "because can still attach c program outputs" + "zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox". We have CLIM irc, a listener (repl), an editor, dired + other. I don't particularly want to run c programs. You'd just end up reinventing CLIM anyways after you notice that "gee, it would be nice to have draggable crossbars in my GUI and geometry". | [21:54] |
gabriel_laddel | phf: yes, debugging CLIM + zen at the same time is going to suck, but debugging CLIM + xlib sucks, and I have not yet compared the two to find out which is worse. | [21:55] |
gabriel_laddel | It seems like what you're getting at is that the correct order of affairs is to tackle zen first, and then CLIM? | [21:56] |
mircea_popescu | phf there is no native lisp gfx engine ? | [21:56] |

mircea_popescu | ahahahaahah what | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | why the fuck not ? | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | no, let me rephrase that. | [21:58] |
gabriel_laddel | mircea_popescu: have you tried reading the OpenGL spec? | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | why not back in 1999 when opengl was not even taking over yet ? | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | im not the one that loves lisp. | [21:59] |
mircea_popescu | but yes, i know. | [21:59] |
phf | gabriel_laddel: i'm saying that it's only worthwhile to bring in zen if you want to ultimately do x11 support for foreign code. right now your problem is clim+xlib, you want your problem to be clim+xlib+zen+cl-opengl+glx. if the ultimate goal is drop x, then might as well try and retarget clim to framebuffer. the two (adding zen and framebuffer clim) or at 100% identical in the amount of effort | [21:59] |

gabriel_laddel | mircea_popescu: they did. Symbolics. | [21:59] |

phf | everything talks to xlib, win32, carbon/cocoa and on top of that to opengl, directx. there are parts of that stack implemented in lisp (either as clients or as hosts). there's no opengl in lisp, there's opengl client in lisp. there's both xlib client and server in lisp, etc. there's not enough lisp code to run the whole graphics stack from the lisp machine to the video card end to end | [22:06] |
mircea_popescu | because lisp is so empowering and shit ? | [22:06] |
phf | mircea_popescu: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak? | [22:08] |
mircea_popescu | yeah well... this logic is broken. so lisp is good because, and i quote, "Because Lisp, as a tool, is to the mind as the lever is to the arm. It amplifies your power and enables you to embark on projects beyond the scope of lesser languages like C. Writing in C is like building a mosaic out of lentils using a tweezer and glue. Lisp is like wielding an air gun with power and precision. It opens out whole kingdoms | [22:08] |

mircea_popescu | "take your propeller-hat, your paranthesis and your spielhosen away from here and come back when you have a fully native gfx stack." | [22:10] |
mircea_popescu | a ? i guess teh summarizer's been sparing me. | [22:10] |
