@mousetail it is a fixed multiple of a concept in information theory :P
@AdΓ‘m haskell
01:16
^^
It's no different from using kilometers in physics
01:31
@Bbrk24 could be speed of the regex
01:47
@lyxal I asked, it’s the return method. Rabbit = number of ways it matches, elephant = number of captures in the match
oh that's funny
is there some symbolic rationale or is it arbitrary
found the comment
@Bbrk24 Except for rabbit, they're animals documented to be able to count. Bee 🐝 is output via number of matches, because counting that is fairly lightweight to implement in most languages (bees are small). Elephant 🐘 is output via capture count, because that is in a way kind of overkill (elephants are big), since in .NET a capture stack contains the contents of its captures, which is potentially much more information than just the number of captures. Rabbit πŸ‡ is output via number of ways it can match, because rabbits multiply (breed), and this output method is great at multiplying. — Deadcode 5 hours ago
ahahah
@Ginger clicked through context links until
wot
i cannot read that word without immediately hearing II NE KURE in my head

wot
in the speech bubble
it's just japanese for social media likes
uhhhhh
I'm confused, but okay
because like from a ux perspective it makes sense to make the button just say oh, this is kinda nifty
and then that gets nominalized
and then this happens
02:19
@UnrelatedString so, like, what is this
Looks like a giant girl in a dinosaur suit attacking some buildings
yeah, but what I want is context
one of y'all has to have seen the banshee scream scene by now
even my sister has
nope!
I w i l l b e b o r n
thanks google translate, very helpful
the future of scanlations is here
but yeah do yourself a favor and watch and/or read bocchi the rock
02:25
speaking of, I got some... questionable translations when I tried running the gibberish produced by Tragic Wormhole through Google Translate
lemme find the link
Scrooge McDuck has entered the chat
there's one specific one I'm looking for
amazing
are some of those characters from an indic script
I have no clue
it talks about food and "spicy meat sauce" a lot
and, uh
m u s t b e c a s t r a t e d
02:30
oop I found the one I was looking for
it's that one
here's the full link, the questionable bits are mostly on page 2
it mostly talks about 1. various element names, 2. "brain meat", and 3. needles
nice
i can't even get the link to work :P
lmao it doesn't
one sec
you can reproduce it yourself by pasting the contents (minus the emoji) of this message into Translate and selecting "Chinese (Simplified)" as the language
02:34
@Ginger Sorry in advance Ginger, but you're about to be abducted by UFOs and grilled for dinner
whoops wrong language
@RydwolfPrograms and then I'm going to be castrated?!
damn aliens
If you're worried they're already reading your mind, you can put a rhodium cone on your head
maybe they'll serve me with a side of raccoon lettuce and kidneys
And look at your kidneys
ninja'd
I honestly wonder why it talks about elements and meat so much
"rhodium cone <gibberish> car bag" appears at least 3 times in the output
02:36
Probably repeating parts of the binary
What was the file?
as does "castration" (in various forms) and "swelling"
I think the sample size is too small for that to necessarily be true
Like while it mentions a lot of things that have the potential to become meat or be done to meat that's just confirmation bias I think
@RydwolfPrograms an SPDX file representing the Vyxal repo's dependency graph
it happened to be in my downloads while I was testing the script q:
for some reason it also says "Must order eunuch" on page 1
I guess it's a side-effect of the format of JSON files when encoded like this
JSON endorses castration, you heard it here first folks

I have had the best or worst idea for an esolang
emojis, but you specify the letters of the emoji name to use
e.g
(🌸1,3,6) 👁️‍🗨️ (📥1-2) (🟧2-6) 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣:
  (🆔1|🌸1) 👁️‍🗨️ (📱1-2|🌭5) 3️⃣ 🟰 0️⃣:
    🖨️1-5 "🌸1🆔1🤪1🤪1"
that prints Fizz for each number in the range [0, 300) if each number is divisible by 3
the | concatenates emoji slices together
e.g (🟧2-6) is letters 2 through 6 of the emoji named Orange Square
meaning it'd be interpreted as range
and there'd be the choice to choose from either the official name or a more common name
@lyxal Does anyone happen to have any acid handy? I'd like some for my eyes
05:51
@lyxal da fuck am i looking at
@UnrelatedString No, a byte is a phyicial thing. You can't store a abstract unit of information in a physical byte

0 indexed or 1 indexed?
1 indexed
06:46
for i in range(300): if i mod 3 == 0: print "figg"
07:29
@user i got some vinegar here if you want
08:03
do main site rooms never freeze?
I think they just stay active enough that it never triggers naturally
just look at the intervals
Weired, maybe mods just periodically unfreeze it
but there are no unfreeze messages
08:19
main rooms can't freeze yeah

CMC Is it possible to create a turing complete language with just 4 builtins? No digraphs or unaryeque abuse allowed
@lyxal this is awful
12:24
@lyxal great! Now how do I make it calculate 1+1?
@user I have acetic acid.
@PlaceReporter99 πŸ–¨οΈ1-5 1️⃣ (🟣4-5|πŸ˜’5-6) 1️⃣
@Feeds that’s the first message!
@lyxal now make something in that language that can compile other programmes in that language.
depends on how python would do it
because it's just python but with emoji slices
@lyxal the hardest part is making the long dictionary. Then you can reference that dictionary.
12:42
A quote from @lyxal:
No thanks, I don't think I'll buy one.
I did say that
that is one of the things I've said
@lyxal and I can prove that:

Pelle pelle jackets seems shady, actually…
13:01
Any hint for the <10K plebs?
do you mean the link?
^ feedback for flax?
@zoomlogo feels awfully familiar for some reason :p
13:03
It is the best brand
@lyxal They're doing it all over again
@lyxal hmmm :P
in fact they're doing it 15 million times over again
because flax gets the joj done right
@zoomlogo i also need overload ideas
@Ginger well now I have to go watch it out of tradition
13:04
thats what all the black spaces are
when you need codepage repair
do whatever it takes to get the joj
@Ginger there is nobody in North Texas with an A+ rating with the better business bureau
9 out of 10 mammoths recommend
I'll repair your code page for cheaper
but will we be 100% unsatisfied
13:07
Better be unsatisfied with money in your pocket
@mousetail do you care about the joj more than anything else?
My rates are very reasonable, just $40 and your first born child
@lyxal the real question is more are they a big shot
in this day and age, most people can get the joj done right
they can do the joj, but do they care about the joj more than anything else?
gonna be honest: it's been over a year since I've seen the original so I don't remember very much of it :p
I do however have large quantities of Spamton references
13:10
My code pages are made exclusively of characters that are not quite 1 character wide in most fixed-width fonts
@Ginger it's been 5 minutes since I last watched it :p

@pxeger Would you mind updating Charcoal on ATO to f1f314c0399395834a04762d46f40c5bbcbc46a8?
@hyper-neutrino yo
I have a message that needs nuking
17:16
@WheatWizard Yes, top secret project :p
(dw, I'm following all the sockpuppet rules, nothing I can do with two accounts I can't do with one)
Oh, not something I was worrying about.
Just curious.
18:07
@mousetail its possible to make a single instruction machine code
and even 0 opcodes are turing complete through interrupts or smth
18:24
@Seggan I'm really looking for something that can be encoded in 2 bits per instruction with no auxilary data needed. Like subleq stil needs 3 data points per instruction to work
@Ginger where (feel free to self-flag on main if you need to keep it secret)
@hyper-neutrino the Edge
it's the deleted message
not sure why that needs redaction but sure, done
thanks

Anyone know if there is a question for the alternating factorial? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_factorial
Nothing comes up under search, but it seems like the sort of thing that would be done already.
Interesting. How does that work? Does it look for comments saying "This is OEIS ____"?
No, questions (and answers)
No, it looks for "A005165" in the challenge or answer bodies
iirc searching comments requires SEDE
20:35
Not a guarantee, but if you can't find anything for "alternating factorial" or the oeis index, it's a good shout it hasn't been done
If you want to search for A005165 in comments, there's a post on Meta.SE somewhere with a thing you can modify
in The Sand Trap, 46 secs ago, by Ginger
hey do you guys want to contribute to science? if so click this cool link I found on the page @Bbrk24 linked to: https://survey.gendercensus.com

Q: Alternating factorial

chunesThe alternating factorial is defined as $$ \large\operatorname{af}(n) = \sum_{i=1}^n(-1)^{n-i}i! $$ where \$i!\$ is the regular factorial of \$i\$: $$ \large i!= \begin{cases} 1, & \text{if $\;i=0$} \\ i\times(i-1)\times(i-2)\times\dots\times2\times1, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} $$ For example...

22:45
@UnrelatedString What are the rules?
23:00
i think it's just anything that unicode considers whitespace
not sure how it handles differing widths for indentation purposes (tabs seem to be considered equivalent to 8 spaces, but what else)

@UnrelatedString Whitespace or space separators?
good question
forgot there's a difference
