I'm now looking into the vectorized recursion thing again. My PR seems to somewhat fix it, because, for example, this answer works fine. But my own test code, like λ,[vx on [[0], [0]], does not.
 
3:55 AM
This is the strangest bug in the world. λ-[vx∑ works, but λ-[vxȧ doesn't. the problem is that ctx.function_stack is somehow emptying itself so the function needed to recurse is missing, but when I put , which hasn't even been evaluated yet at the point of the bug, it decides that I put in the password and it works.

I think I see the problem.
You're trying to lazy evaluate over global state
same reason things like 1 10r ƛn⅛; ¾ don't do what you expect

@lyxal You didn't do this to Aaroneous, did you?
 
of course not
I respect my plates
 
Uh-huh
We'd still like to search your fridge
 
no point
it's been nuked
 
Really? Well, we'd still like to search your house
 
no point
you'd fall to your death because you don't have gravity harnesses
 
1:17 PM
Let us in now or we'll come back with a warrant for not just your home but also your business. The offshore one. You know what I'm talking about
@lyxal Interpol has the latest in anti-gravity technology
 
@user you fricknut you're a high ranking official in that business do you really want to lose your job?
 
Do you want the human trafficking unit snooping around your business?
 
do you?
 
Absolutely. I have no problem with putting scum like you away
 
you are talking about the limb stealing business right?
 
1:19 PM
But we can come to a deal. Confess to the murder of Aaroneous Miller and we won't charge you for your...other crimes
@lyxal You said it, not me
 
you're literally a part of that business
if I go away for that, you do too
 
What? I've never been associated with it
And anyway, who will people trust? A limb stealer and plat abuser or a respected police officer?

@lyxal <whisper>So what? Redwolf doesn't know it. Better to cow the enemy into submission and live in peace than do war, even if we win</whisper>

@lyxal <whisper>Oh yes, of course, can't interrupt that. Might I have some shortcake to go with that? Never tried it</whisper>
You were saying?
 
Those whispers won't stand up in court
 
maybe not in court
 
1:22 PM
And you forget that the mods are on my side. They can simply burn the evidence
 
are they?
 
@hyper-neutrino Back me up here
 
You fool
 
why did lyxal send two blank message links
 
1:24 PM
We control the Web Archive
 
delete it then
go on
remove it from the record then
 
@hyper-neutrino Ah, he's gone nuts. Spouting some nonsense about me being in on his limb-stealing business
Just desperately trying to stay out of prison
 
what is happening lol
is it about Aaron?
 
@lyxal We'd rather not have to. It's much easier for everyone if you comply with us
 
@user if you are desperate, then you are guilty?
 
1:25 PM
@mathcat We're investigating his disappearance
@Seggan ??? I was referring to lyxal
 
huh right
 
@user seems like you're desperate to me
 
Why's that?
 
I would be too if I was dangering my life by threatening to take down a limb stealing kingpin
if you know what's good for you, you'll drop this little investigation
lest you end up in the bakery
 
Threatening an officer of the law, that's a serious offence
Hmm, perhaps we should search your "bakery" then
 
1:28 PM
> we
@user more like "users"
 
@user kids these days. You give them control of the redwolf hivemind and they repay you with legal action
ungrateful and disloyal smh
 
lyxal will have you sued for treason?

(heh looks like I won't be getting that I haven't the slightest what we're RPing)
 
(tbh I've diverged a lot from the original text)
(and I started off just poorly pretending to be a police officer)
 
anyhow I'mma go back to working on vectorised recursion
 
Yeah that's probably a better way to spend your time lol
@user Hint: sentient spiders and octopi
 
1:41 PM
uh which crappy film has sentient spiders
frick I should watch more movies
 
It's not crappy and it's not a film
 
hmm okay game or book
 
Book
 
harry potter 2 has sentient spiders but not octopi
(except the giant squid)
 
No magic
 
1:44 PM
I give up
 
It's sci-fi
 
lol
 
@user I'm pretending to be this alien here
 
I googled it
 
You got it?
 
1:45 PM
looks fun
 
On second thought I'm not going to give you the bounty lol, did not expect anyone to get it
 
it's the first result of "book about sentient spiders"
 
What is it? You have one guess left
 
Google's such a spoilsport
It says Children of time
 
Aha! It's not Children of Time
It's the sequel :P
 
1:47 PM
ugh I thought I got it
 
I mean you basically did
I just want to justify not giving you the bounty because I'm a jerk :P
 
nah, I just googled it
 
I'd highly recommend reading both books btw
Children of Time I didn't enjoy that much but Children of Ruin is great
The author's other books are not as good though
 
8 (!!) minutes
why the hell is it taking 8 minutes?
I thought it took 2 max
Anyone got any test cases for vectorised recursion?
Because I think I've fixed it
The problem seems to have been that because vx is lazily evaluated, modifications to ctx were acting up for the same reason v, or global array/register access in a map are jank
That is, lazy evaluation + side effects don't really mix
My patch is to detect if x comes after the v and then eagerly evaluate the result of vx

4:39 PM
It takes longer when they fail for some reason
At least on my computer
 
4:51 PM
Infinite loop?
 
 
6 hours later…
I'd approve it but I have no idea how it works lol
 
Neither do I, but the tests pass
