@MamaFunRoll question: what is a MamaFunRoll
pls tell me it isn't something very inappropriate
 
good question
i really don't know...
although
may help
 
where is the fun part though
OH GOD IT IS INAPPROPRIATE ಠ_ಠ
 
hey don't flame me
I got my name off an anagram generator
 
I got mine from a block of dirt.
 
I got mine from my name... I feel so unoriginal.

If it makes you feel bad you can join the klub.
The bulk of the chat users seem to have turned against anagrams though.

Q: Fibonacci Product

Leaky NunFibonacci Numbers Fibonacci Numbers start with f(1)=1 and f(2)=1 (some includes f(0)=0 but this is irrelevant to this challenge. Then, for n>2, f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2). The challenge Your task is to find the n-th positive number that can be expressed as products of Fibonacci numbers. You can ch...

How many pointers are needed to find the n-th perfect power?
 
1. just point to it
 
serious question
 
@LeakyNun usually one
The Pointer, often called the English Pointer, is a medium to large-sized breed of dog developed in England as a gun dog. It is one of several pointing breeds. == Appearance == === Coat and color === The coat of a Pointer is short, dense, smooth with a sheen. They are generally white with either liver, lemon, orange or black markings. Although pointers may have solid coloring in any of these hues, most pointers are primarily white with some body markings. Lemon and white dogs have flesh-colored noses, while Pointers with orange, liver or black markings have dark (black or very dark bro...
these dogs are pretty good at finding stuff
 
basically it is searching in a 2d sorted array of infinite size

But, I made a slight optimization for the binary search for small numbers
The Vedic method is O(1) time
What's the fastest integer square root method?
 
11:03 AM
Depends on your number range, probs. First thing I can think of is Newton's
 
i'm doing long
is Newton's faster than binary search?
 
@MartinEnder @Doorknob @AlexA. @Dennis Can you please unpin that.. Its not really an important or a concrete fact :) "soon", "under review" etc. etc.
 
Newton's converges quadratically, so maybe? Not sure
Probably for bigger numbers, at least
 
binary search is polynomial time
so is vedic's method
actually, it is linear time
I think Newton's method is substantially the same as binary search
 
Not really - with binary search each division only gives 1 extra bit of information
 
11:11 AM
Newton's method is O(sqrt(n)) ?
 
What's n here?
 
the number of digits
 
Hmm... not actually sure if it might be log or not
Thing is Newton needs divisions, while binary search can do with multiplications
 
True
 
Doing some reading and it seems like if your computer has a number-of-leading-zeroes instruction, you can use that to get a pretty good initial guess to kick off the algorithms
 
11:26 AM
eh... how do I do it in Java?
 
looks at Java docs Integer.highestOneBit? Maybe
 
ok, thanks
 
@Sp3000 Their algorithm is so efficient
It isn't a native method
     public static int highestOneBit(int i) {
         // HD, Figure 3-1
         i |= (i >>  1);
         i |= (i >>  2);
         i |= (i >>  4);
         i |= (i >>  8);
         i |= (i >> 16);
         return i - (i >>> 1);

@Dennis Can you pull MATL whenever you have time? No hurry at all, just when you are around
 
@LuisMendo "Whenever you wish."
"But only after I finish the flags first."
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 can you stop that?
 
I can.
 
Please stop.
 
1:22 PM
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 ? What flags?
 
@LuisMendo Post and comment flags. >_>
Mods always deal with these flags.
 
comment flags yes, post flags go to the review queue except spam, rude and mod flags
 
Chat mini-challenge: Write a function to right-pad a string.
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Ah :-)

Looks good to me.
 
Hey, you guys remember Felix Baumgartner, the guy that sky-dived from the edge of space? Check this out: imgur.com/gallery/vAYiB8T
 
2:06 PM
@flawr seems fine to me too
 
2:31 PM
TIL 2 is both prime and highly composite
 
what an irony
 
@trichoplax As always, it heavily depends on the ring.
@muddyfish Which version would you do?
 
I'm leaning towards atan2 only, since you're forbidding using that built-in.
 
@flawr I was only thinking of the natural numbers - my mind is boggled enough for one day...
 
2:38 PM
only atan2 - what does finding r do for the challenge
 
Yeah, I just saw trichoplaxes comment.
@trichoplax How is it composite as part of the natural numbers?
 
@flawr It has more divisors than any number smaller than it
@flawr It's not composite, but it is highly composite
 
@trichoplax 0?
 
@Fatalize Yes it only works in the natural numbers. If you include zero it's hard to define highly composite
 
0 is typically excluded in such matters since it usually trivializes everything.
 
2:41 PM
@flawr That also solves my issues with functions for the radius
 
@trichoplax Oh=) TIL it is also a superior highly composite number (1)
 
@flawr I feel that the use of "composite" in these terms is very misleading :)
 
@trichoplax It seems that it only affects even prime numbers. And it is conjectured that these are only finitely many.
 
Is it clear enough now?
 
2:54 PM
@trichoplax It's perfectly appropriate. The problem is that the way they are defined means that the first number with more than 1 divisor is included...which means the first prime number in this case.
 
@El'endiaStarman Just though the same thing=)
 
@El'endiaStarman It means including 1 too, which also makes my brain itch
 
I announce 30-second stand ups, where you have to describe the topic in 30 seconds! =)
 
Let us ban all prime numbers.
 
2:55 PM
Well, 1 has 1 divisor...
 
I agree it makes sense, but a word other than "composite" would have saved my poor brain
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Golf is fun. Less than 30 seconds.
 
Is there a name for numbers n that have n divisors?
 
2:56 PM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ You'll be given 30 seconds, that you may only use partially at all.
 
i did
that was 30 seconds
 
@El'endiaStarman I think so, let me see!
 
1 divisor: The unit
2 divisors: prime
3 divisors: semi prime
 
@flawr You should probably ban functions that compute the argument (angle) of a complex number
 
@LuisMendo Thanks, so I'd have to ban quaternions too?=)
 
2:58 PM
@trichoplax Semiprimes have 4 divisors.
3 divisors: square of prime
 
@flawr I hardly know what quaternions are :-)
 
@LeakyNun Oh yeah...
@LeakyNun I think that's still a semiprime, but it does have 3 divisors
 
I thought semi-primes were the product of two primes.
So it could have three or four divisors depending on whether the two primes are the same.
 
@El'endiaStarman True. 10 is 2*5, which has divisors 1, 2, 5, and 10
 
Describe the weather outside in 30 seconds.
 
3:00 PM
@flawr Wait, aren't 1 and 2 the only such numbers? All divisors of n are less than or equal to n, so...
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Sunny. Warm.
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I can't predict the future
 
Boom. Two seconds.
 
@El'endiaStarman Oh, lol. =)
 
4 divisors: product of two distinct primes or the cube of a prime
 
@flawr To be fair, it took me time to realize my error. :P
 
3:01 PM
@El'endiaStarman I also read this as "numbers that have n divisors" and completely missed the other n...
 
@El'endiaStarman I confused the divisor-counting function with the divisor-sum function
 
Okay, this was just a warmup.
 
@flawr Oooh, for divisor-sums, look into amicable numbers.
 
Now the real 30 second stand-up starts.
 
@El'endiaStarman that would be the perfect numbers
 
3:03 PM
Rules: you wait until you're up.
When I say that you're up, the 30 seconds start.
You may use part or all of that time to describe the topic.
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101: First, find out who is interested in playing your game. I for one am not.
@flawr Well, true. Perfect numbers for when the sum of divisors is the number itself. Amicable numbers are for pairs where the sum of divisors of one number is the other number.
 
I'll say when 30 seconds are up.
Who's in?
keeps hands down
 
crickets
 
@El'endiaStarman keeps hands down
 
tumbleweed
 
3:05 PM
Does "amicable numbers" also apply to chains?
 
What chains?
 
> thumbleweed -- flawr 1m ago
 
@flawr divisor sum of a is b, that of b is c, that of c is d, that of d is a
@El'endiaStarman nope, they only come in pairs
> Numbers that are members of an aliquot sequence with period greater than 2 are known as sociable numbers.
 
@LeakyNun Oooh, okay. That's cool.
 
3:08 PM
Alright now, no one is interested in the game.
Thanks for keeping all your attention at anything except me. >_>
 
who would have thought
 
@flawr Huh, interesting.
It's cool sometimes to see how a concept is generalized in different ways.
 
I'll repeat the question. Who's interested in 30-second stand ups? >_>
everyone keeps hands down <_<
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 tempted to flag as spam
 
Find integers a, b, c such that a^3+b^3+c^3=30
Hint: a solution exists.
 
3:15 PM
@flawr So, you're sure that no one is interested in the game.
 
@LeakyNun Is it 33 that we don't have a solution for yet?
Also, have you been watching Numberphile's recent videos? :P
 
@El'endiaStarman so you watched the video? Or just you are too knowledgeable
LOL
 
Thanks. I may now safely forget chat.
;_;
 
@LeakyNun Is it big?
 
@Fatalize Yes
 
3:16 PM
@LeakyNun [I:J:K]:{=:3^.}a+30 will unify the input with [I, J, K] once it finds it
 
@Fatalize Good luck with that.
 
which will take a while
 
No seriously, do not try it.
 
I'm not gonna wait don't worry
 
@Fatalize Let's practice RSA cryptography shall we?
 
3:17 PM
wut
 
you give me the public keys, and I encrypt the solution to you
I've never done real life RSA encryption before
 
Me neither, and I don't miss it
 
but I miss it, so please do it
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Thanks for respecting what others are interested in
 
(actually my code won't work because it will backtrack on K infinitely instead of backtracking on three at the same time)
 
3:19 PM
@Fatalize but if you're really not interested then let's just give up
 
@trichoplax Thanks for wanting me to leave chat forever.
;-; ಠ-ಠ
 
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 It's good to have you back :)
 
Not everyone spends 100% of their attention on the chat at all time
 
@LeakyNun It's decryption that's interesting really
I mean encryption is just M^e mod pq so
 
@quartata Well, he would decrypt himself, and I can only encrypt
only he has the private key
 
3:21 PM
@LeakyNun Right, I'm saying that you're not missing much with "real life RSA encryption"
The decryption is the interesting part
 
@quartata sure
 
@LuisMendo Done.
 
@Dennis Thank you. I see you gave a kick to the server too :-)
 
@LeakyNun (Is this cheating?) Found them! ckrao.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/…
 
Alright now, last time asking. If no one answers it, I forget chat out of my browser.
 
3:30 PM
@El'endiaStarman Well, it's also in the Numberphile's video, so...
 
Who's interested in 30-second stand ups? :|
 
@LuisMendo Yeah, not sure what was going wrong. Apache needed a restart, but whatever process freezed it had died already.
 
forgets chat out of the browser
 
finally
 
@LeakyNun This will work: [I:J:K]:+a[M:N:O],M>=N>=O,?=:{:3^.}a+30
 
3:35 PM
@Fatalize No, nothing you post will work.
 
For 29 the first 3 are:
Z = [3, 1, 1] ;
Z = [4, -3, -2] ;
Z = [-20, 18, 13] .
@LeakyNun It will, it has infinite integer precision. It will take a really, really long time though
 
@Fatalize which is the same as it won't work

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I'm cancelling the automatic suspension that happens when several people flag a post at once. A lot of the time you are an interesting part of the conversation, but please hold back on pushing the topic you want. If we all flow with the topics the room is interested in the conversation will go much more smoothly :)
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan God morgon.
 
@LuisMendo Does MATL have a reverse array command?
Or vector, or whatever it calls them
 
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan XP
Or just P, i am not sure.
 
Oh, that's the answer. I thought it was a smileyface.

Yeah, it's P

@El'endiaStarman :)
 
4:25 PM
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan For a vector (row or column) use P, yes. In general, for 2D arrays (such as matrices) or multidimensional arrays , P reverses along the first dimension which is not singleton. XP always reverses along the first dimension
