xentracif φ(3, n, 0) = 4, then you can calculate 4 - 3 = n = 100:00
xentracif φ(3, n, 1) = 12, then you can calculate 12 / 3 = n = 400:00
xentracif φ(3, n, 2) = 81, then you can calculate log₃ 81 = 400:00
xentracbut it's quite difficult to come up with a general way to solve φ(a, b, c) = d00:01
xentracconsider, for example, that calcjulating φ(n, 4, 2) = 81 involves instead calculating ⁴√8100:03
fennfwiw there is no general solution to even quintic polynomials00:03
xentracnow there are clearly things that you have to express with loops and conditionals and mutation and so on00:04
xentracbut by expressing things as algebraic formulas when you can, instead of using those more expressive and powerful constructs, you preserve more power of manipulation00:04
xentracfinding zeroes of quintic polynomials is not particularly hard; you just can't do it with an equation00:04
xentracyou need an algorithm instead00:05
xentracbut there are lots of other things you can do with quintic polynomials that you can't do with general algorithms00:05
fennthis isn't selling me on equations00:05
xentracheh00:06
fennyour solutions for n explained what the ackerman function does a lot better than the wikipedia article did, though00:06
xentracit's basically the same thing that you were saying earlier about web pages00:07
xentracwhen a web page is expressed sufficiently abstractly, it's easy to manipulate it to appear as, for example, white text on a dark gray background00:07
xentracbut when it's expressed with inline images replacing some of the text, you lose that manipulability00:08
xentracsimilarly when you express a relationship between some variables with an equation, instead of an algorithm to compute one of them from the others, you retain the ability to solve for any of the variables (with more or less difficulty: as you point out, quintics and above don't have closed-form equational solutions, but even the general closed-form solution for quartics is extremely fucking hairy)00:09
xentracso you should use the less expressive, but more manipulable, representation when you can00:10
fennwhy is "code" necessarily an algorithm?00:10
xentracwell, I've been talking about code in Turing-complete languages as the alternative to equations00:11
fennparameters are undefined until a function is called00:11
xentracas to whether it's easier to read Q = 2 \pi \sqrt{V (\frac{L'} {S})^3} or00:12
xentrac          ______00:12
xentrac         /   L00:12
xentracQ = 2π \/ V (-)³00:12
xentrac             S00:12
fennoh, of course it's harder to read when it's full of escape codes00:12
xentracI suspect that it's largely a matter of familiarity00:12
xentracescape codes?00:13
xentracyou can name your functions without backslashes and use parens instead of {} if you like, I don't think it makes much difference00:13
fennbut i would write Q = 2 * pi * sqrt(V * L_prime/S)^300:13
xentracI was addressing your earlier point about00:13

xentrac"hieroglyphics"00:14
fennit still leaves unresolved what is pi and what is sqrt and how is L related to L_prime00:15
fennbut at least i can type it into an irc channel00:15
fennor a python console00:15
xentracright00:15
fennoh i missed a )00:16
fenntoo busy trying to decipher the \frac notation00:16
fennwhy does tex mix () and {}00:17
xentrac() get typeset00:17
xentrac{} is just for grouping00:17
fenn... and now i'm thinking (there's a difference?)00:17
fennbecause that's a typesetting markup, not code00:18
xentracyes00:18
xentrachmm, I should really leave the office00:19
fenni'd also argue that equations are a historical artifact of typesetting that has nothing to do with whether it's analytical form or algorithm00:19
fennmove into your desk, save the planet!00:19
xmjxentrac: i find latex-ish equations easy to read00:19
xentracI really think the serialization format is one of the less important things about them00:24
fennbut it's the one that causes the most grief00:24
xentracthe serialization of equations is a historical artifact of writing by hand instead of keyboard00:24
xentracI have a similar notation for algorithms when I write them on paper00:25
xentracx | y for "while (x) y"00:25
xentracxs | f(x)  for "for x in xs: f(x)"00:25
xentracx  |00:26
xentrac a | b for "if (a) b; else c;"00:27
xentrac   |00:27
xentracoops00:27
xentracleft out the c00:27
xentracf x  for "def f(x):"00:28
fennisnt x | y the same as a | b00:29
xentrack x y for "class k: def __init__(self, x, y): self.x = x; self.y = y"00:29
xentrac---------00:29
xentracno, the a | b one has a horizontal line underneath it00:29
fennheh "k x y" is some semantic sugar i wouldn't mind00:30
xentracand I use funky hieroglyphs and Greek letters for variables instead of entire words that I have to write out each time00:30
xentracyeah, a double underline is a lot easier to write in my notebook than the word "class"00:30
fennit's nice to be able to specify default values tho00:30
fennso i write a lot of stuff in my log books, but i use long form because i know i'm going to type it in eventually00:32
fenni could use some shorthand but i know i'll forget what it means00:32
xentrachmm I think I was using @x for self.x at some point00:32
xentracI should go back and formalize that notation00:32
fenn@ is self.a :P00:32
xentracyeah, but I mean00:33
xentrack @x @y (doubleunderline)00:33
xentracby putting self.x (@x) in the parameter list itself, I'm implicitly assigning to self.x00:33
xentracbut maybe that's not really necessary00:34
fennif you're using both x and self.x you're probably doing something wrong00:34
xentracyeah00:34
xentracI just mean, is it worthwhile being explicit about storing variables for later use?00:35
fenn"Be liberal in what you require but conservative in what you do"00:35
fennthis is more of what i was going for00:35
xentracbecause it's kind of an important semantic clue to intent00:35
xentracokay now I really am going to go home00:36
xentracI was really going to go to bed before 5 AM00:36
xentracfail00:36
fenng'night, and good luck00:36
xentracyou too00:36
fennhuh, weird. "In her talk The Science of Insecurity, Meredith Patterson makes the point that the principle of least power is important for security of interfaces which may be exposed to attack."00:45
fenni always thought "principle of least power" in a security context meant you rescind privileges not required for the task at hand, guess it's more abstract than that00:46

kanzureif you ask your stereotypical transhumanist what they would want to try to stimulate, they would say "my ability to solve word problems faster"18:46
fennmore of objective performance tests (not more-objective tests, they're either objective enough or not objective at all)18:46
kanzurebut their answer- whatever it is- in most situations iwll not be directly controlled by a specific region of the brain18:46
fennof course not18:47
fennstimulating neurons is like sticking a wire into a computer and hoping something interesting happens18:47
kanzurethings that i am certain could be stimulated: memory elicitation (at minimum, generic playback of random crap), auditory input, visual input, motor cortex output, arousal, somatosensory crap, dyslexia (i mean, reading/comprehension can probably be disrupted)18:48
fennsure18:49
paskymm, a ham sandwich18:49

kanzurehippocampus is often implicated in long-term memory, but not often short-term visual memory capacity (note the word isn't 'storage' or 'retrieval')21:17

fennfrom the beginning of the wikipedia article on hippocampus: "The hippocampus ... plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation."21:18
kanzureif it is a correlate for prediction, and not the causal source, then is that still "playing a role"21:19

xmj"Eliminate dairy" basically means "No cream in my coffee" which will be hard.22:53
jrayhawkthe nitrogen content makes it extremely valuable, the proline content makes it nigh-indigestable, the random binding affinities make it highly immunogenic, and the incredibly long nature makes it mechanically complicated (similar to the albumin family)22:53

fennand whey just stimulates IGF because of its amino acid profile23:00
jrayhawkInduces autoimmunity in some folks.23:00
fennor something23:00
fennwhy would dairy protein induce autoimmunity23:00
jrayhawkDon't know; intestinal permeability is a very new field.23:01
jrayhawkI mean, the stupid answer is "varying levels of adaptation based on genetics"23:01
jrayhawkbut it's not a particularly satisfactory one.23:01
fennwe know that gliadin causes intestinal permeability, so maybe there's something like gliadin in milk (and maybe it isn't casein or whey)23:01
fennthat's why i brought up lectins (I read this page but it didn't really "stick" http://krispin.com/lectin.html )23:03
fenn"Glucosamine is specific for wheat lectin and it is this specificity that may protect the gut and cartilage from cell inflammation and destruction in wheat (or gluten) responsive arthritis."23:03
jrayhawkThere may also be something about galactose and intestinal dysbiosis.23:04
jrayhawkYeah, I liked that theory a lot.23:04
jrayhawkanti-TTG is heavily involved in arthritis, so stopping both the permeability and the specific antigen response would sure make sense for improving joints23:05
fenni mean, cows eat grains, and they probably also have intestinal permeability, so it's not unreasonable that there's plant proteins in their milk23:05
fennplus cow blood in the milk23:05
jrayhawkhuh http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2362678623:06
fennwell there you go23:06
jrayhawki totally didn't mammary tight junctions were variable23:07
jrayhawki guess that makes sense; immune system's gotta get access somehow.23:07

yoleauxLipopolysaccharide disrupts the milk-blood barrier ... [PLoS One. 2013]23:07
jrayhawkanyway, seems to be an issue even with grass fed milk, and raw milk, though those things anecdotally help some23:08
-!- Vutral [~ss@mirbsd/special/Vutral] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]23:08
fenni'm sure getting your milk from one cow is better than from 1000 cows all mixed together23:09
jrayhawkone of the more amusing things is that people without lactase persistance genes can still adapt to pretty heavy dairy consumption just due to gut flora23:09
gradstudentbotThese findings indicate that extensive genetic engineering of human hematopoiesis can be achieved with lentiviral vectors.23:09
fenni definitely couldn't tolerate milk after being vegan for several years23:09
fennor cheese23:10
jrayhawkCheese is the highest protein form of dairy.23:10
jrayhawkGhee should be safe if ever you want to toy with buttery flavor again.23:10
fennoh, i can drink milk now23:10
jrayhawkoh good23:11
LemminkainenI don't understand this idea of human health as some hugely fragile thing23:11
fennLemminkainen: are you kidding23:11
Lemminkainengods forbid you eat milk from 1000 cows or a conventionally raised apple23:11
Lemminkainenthat will surely doom your to teh cancers23:11
jrayhawkHumans are on the cutting edge of what's metabolicly possible.23:11
Lemminkainennot like your metabolism isn't topologically robust and like you don't have multiple repair enzymes23:11
fennall that complexity just makes for multiple failure modes23:12
LemminkainenI'm not sure you understand complexity's relationship to resiliency in a nonhomogenous directed graph, then23:12
-!- catern [~catern@catern.com] has joined ##hplusroadmap23:12
fennyesterday i was reading about mesh networking protocols23:13
fennthere's a difference between complexity and redundancy23:13
Lemminkainenyour metabolism is not the same as a BATMAN23:13
fennLemminkainen: how do you explain the cancer epidemic?23:14
LemminkainenI don't understand how you see an epidemic in places where we lack rigorous historical data23:15
Lemminkainenthat's wobbly thinking23:15
jrayhawkor the atherosclerosis epidemic, or the obesity epidemic, or the hypertension epidemic, or the insulin resistance epidemic, or the autoimmune epidemic23:15
jrayhawkwe have quite good anthropological data on non-westernized societies23:15
Lemminkainenwho have also polluted their local environment with less industrial garbage23:16
Lemminkainenfenn http://www.barabasilab.com/pubs/CCNR-ALB_Publications/200010-05_Nature-OrganMetabolic/200010-05_Nature-OrganMetabolic.pdf23:16
fennso is a "conventional" (lol) apple a cause of cancer or not?23:16
Lemminkainenyou can't determine that23:17
jrayhawkgosh, i guess we can't know anything, guys23:17
jrayhawkbest pack up and go home23:17
Lemminkainenshow me an assay for causality between apples and tumorigenesis23:18
fenni quite like the explanation afforded by the china study23:18
fennthe mice who didn't get enough protein died before their cancer progressed enough to be noticed23:18
Lemminkainenso organic apples are...what?23:19
Lemminkainenmore proteinaceous?23:19
fennno, they just don't have "industrial garbage" on them23:19
Lemminkainenyou're stringing together distal correlations into a misguided idea of causality here23:19
fenni think the causality of cancer is anything but clear23:19
jrayhawkLemminkainen: warburg effect; mitochondria overloading causes mitochondrial damage causes cancer23:20
jrayhawkapples can also promote the growth of cancer by supporting the lactic acid pathway23:20
Lemminkainenand you're seeing mitochondrial overload from what?23:21
jrayhawkAny metabolic load that they're not prepared for for whatever reason. Nutrient deficiencies, inflammatory side-effects, etc.23:21
Lemminkainendo you know how mitochondrial biogenesis works?23:21
Lemminkainencells don't keep damaged mitochondria around23:21
gradstudentbotCan I get Saturday off?23:21
jrayhawkOptimally, yeah.23:21
jrayhawkShit goes wrong.23:22
fennlike not fasting23:22
Lemminkainenand the body has multiple levels of repair mechanisms23:22
jrayhawkI won't claim sugar is inherently deadly or anything (see: kitavans), but in the right context it's entirely capable of inducing pathological cellular signalling and oxidative stress.23:23

fenn dichloroacetic acid (DCA), which promotes respiration and the activity of mitochondria, has been shown to kill cancer cells in vitro and in some animal models.[9] The body often kills damaged cells by apoptosis, a mechanism of self-destruction that involves mitochondria, but this mechanism fails in cancer cells where the mitochondria are shut down. The reactivation of mitochondria in cancer23:23

gradstudentbotThe results of my study indicate that the climate is about to get really weird.23:25
fenni'm pretty skeptical of "look at these healthy indigenous people" after it was revealed the Hunza people just didn't keep very good track of their age and exaggerated when the scientists asked how old they were23:25
entelechiosthis whole libressl thing is funny as hell23:25
dingo:D23:25
dingo"shut up and hack"23:26
dingoits a good motto23:26
entelechiosthough it took a while for the patch for openbsd to come out compared to other OS's i had to patch23:26
entelechiosfor openssl23:26
entelechiosduring heartbleed23:26
entelechiosgod that was a pain23:26
entelechioscustom built it instead of the patch just to keep things running23:26
entelechiosthen got told by the goons in #openbsd that i made an irrevokable mistake and might as well reinstall23:26
xmjentelechios: that's bullshit thought23:27
fennsome people just keep ferrets23:27
xmjthough23:27
entelechiosyes i realize hahaha23:27
xmjOpenSSL was *really fast* to providing binpatches.23:27
entelechiosfuck arrogant irc nerds23:27
dingo#openbsd is not openbsd23:27
dingothey are assholes there mostly23:27
Lemminkainenfenn and jrayhawk I still don't follow your logic here, it seems a bit random23:27
dingoi had a patch shit all over in there once23:27
xmjFreeBSD was *fast* for the Port and *not so fast == 20h* for the base patches.23:27
Lemminkainenwe're not made of glass23:27
dingoi was soliciting openbsd users to test my openbsd patch23:27
xmjdingo: so?23:28
dingoand i got these people going on about "I don't go applying some random stranger's patch, thats not secure"23:28
gradstudentbotIs there free food at that seminar?23:28
dingoand its like uhh dude... its source code, review it....23:28
jrayhawkThe normal evolutionary sciences analogy that is typically used is "Ferrari"23:28
xmjdingo: don't take it personally if they criticize you for your patch's lack of quality23:28
fennLemminkainen: if you have a health problem you very quickly learn that either a) the doctors know what they're talking about, or b) the doctor's don't know. if you end up in b you have to start thinking about why it is people get sick23:28
xmjdingo: better way to get a patch reviewed is via a mailing list, fwiw23:28
dingoi ended up leaving, but one of the devs contacted me and said hey man sorry those dudes don't speak for us23:28
entelechioswhat was really annoying was having to rebuild apache against the patch too23:28
dingoeyah well it got ignored anyway23:28
entelechiosopenbsd apache from like 2002 or some shit23:29
dingoon -tech23:29
xmjentelechios: you don't23:29
xmjopenbsd has nginx in base, and afaik it's not statically linked.23:29
entelechioswell, i did, because that's the only way i coulda gotten our mailserver working again23:29
dingoentelechios: hates openbsd like i hate djb's software23:29
xmjstop spilling bullshit non-information.23:29
xmj:(23:29
Lemminkainenfenn you can definitely think about why people get sick; I've met a lot of people lately with the MTHFKR mutation in glutamate metabolism who are self-medicating quite well for it23:29
entelechiosnot my decicions here to use that23:29
entelechiosis it in 5.5 base?23:29
xmjit's obvious you're talking out of your ass when you reveal you don't know the difference between statically versus dynamically linked.23:29
Lemminkainenbut it takes a LOT to actually induce a huge pathology in almost anyone23:29
entelechiosif it is i'd way rather be seeing that used23:30
Lemminkainenmultiple mutations usually need to happen to induce cancer or some other disease pathology23:30
fennLemminkainen: self medicating how?23:30
dingoentelechios: if you're doing your job, then just do it -- if you're doing something for a home hobby, then chose something you want to work with23:30
jrayhawkCancer is not a disease of somatic mutation.23:30
entelechiosnope just doin my job23:30

entelechiosand eh i enjoy it23:30
entelechiosi got a big old bonus23:30

entelechiosout of the past couple weeks of bullshit from that on top of other things23:31
dingoif you were a surfer, you'd be mad that the waves sucked today, or it was too cold, or nobody appreciates your surfing style, or the how the lifeguards are always telling you to go somewhere else, etc. etc.23:31
entelechioslol some surfer bitching about how people dont appreciate his surfing style deserves to get attacked by sharks23:31
fennanyway there are large percentages of the american populace who are ill, it's not due exclusively to genetics (unless you consider the GLO- mutation "genetics")23:31
Lemminkainenjrayhawk wut cancer is not somatic?23:31
jrayhawkCancer is mutagenic; mutagenesis is not the primary cause of cancer.23:32
ebowden_By the way, can errors in protein synthesis trigger cancer?23:33
entelechiosand the biggest reason i found it a pain in the ass was having to pull down via cvs the base src23:34
entelechiosi don't live in a country with fast internet23:34
entelechiosso that meant some late as shit overtime23:34
