[11:57] (and hi to nog_lorp if he is awake) [11:59] David Moore is back! [12:01] and quite noticeably [12:02] I hope he will continue playing [14:03] Join: Core_old joined #corewars [14:24] Join: Core_old_ joined #corewars [14:27] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [14:48] greetings humans! [14:51] Greets to the lord of machine kingdom [14:52] how goes inversed? [14:52] hacking anything interesting? [14:53] Right now i'm in my institute doing a booooooring project [14:53] project on? [14:53] On physics :( Hate it [14:54] physics? whatcha doing? ;) [14:54] Writing a prog that would trace proton trajectories [14:55] matlab? [14:55] Borland C [14:55] actual C? [14:55] (not C++?) [14:56] Typical C [14:56] excellent. :) [14:56] Nah, I hate C. Pascal is so much better [14:56] blasphemy! [14:57] * bvowk prepares to burn inversed at the stake! [14:57] I've been doing pretty much all my hackery in python and common lisp lately.. [14:57] not so much in C lately :( [14:57] I feel so high level. [14:58] I can't understand why people like C so much. [14:59] because its wildly portable, compilers are free, widely available and of relatively good quality [14:59] it just works? =) [14:59] and because its the building blocks of pretty much everything worth using in the world. [14:59] and everything calls from C, calls like C, hooks C, or can be hooked from C [15:00] and what doesn't, there's someone who's made a really fucking nasty hack to make it work [15:00] it's like the DNA of the computing world.. [15:00] There are good compiler for Pascal (FreePascal) for different platforms [15:00] augh. For the love of god, the bank of canada didn't up interest rates :( [15:00] I find pascal too wordy for my tastes.. [15:01] C is perveted [15:01] There is obfuscated C contest, but there is no obfuscated Pascal contest [15:02] its true, its like that nasty uncle you've got that drinks too much, and is a little too friendly with the nieces... but can fix absolutely anything you can present to him with a few mcgyver style household objects.. [15:03] so you keep him around because he's useful, but you don't leave him alone with the kids. [15:03] LOL [15:04] so is this work or education programming? [15:04] Education [15:05] You may be interested in my own project [15:05] unter-graduate? :) [15:05] oh? [15:05] My own == not connected to idiotic education system [15:06] I'm writing a Genetic Programming system [15:06] yeah? in pascal? [15:06] In Delphi [15:06] for corewars? [15:06] No, for my own language [15:07] Redcode is not very evolvable [15:07] no, its not [15:07] so what's the goal? [15:08] Evolve arbitary programs [15:08] At the current stage it easily evolves progs that calculates XOR, polynoms, ... [15:09] thats pretty slick :) [15:09] An it may find very tricky or very short solutions [15:10] Join: johnkw joined #corewars [15:10] It evolved XOR without using any other logic operands [15:10] so you're evolving your own meta language? [15:11] you're not evolving delphi code right? [15:11] Y [15:12] what does you meta lang look like? [15:12] Very simple stack-based language like Forth [15:13] nice. [15:15] so is there going to be an end use for this? or just fun :) [15:16] A program can be evolved to approximate any function so there are many uses for it [15:16] Like data compression, time series prediction, ... [15:17] yeah, but did you have one in mind? [15:18] Yes, image compression [15:18] for fun or yet another project? ;) [15:19] my own projects == fun [15:19] you want to reduce the on disk size of your pr0n collection! admit it! ;) [15:21] Well, typical test image lena512x512 that is used by researchers for many years, comes from playboy [15:21] :) [15:21] I know that he who must not be mentioned has a collection of angelina test images too [15:22] I'm pretty sure that pr0n is the benchmark image processing is measured in ;) [15:23] pr0n dir too large - driving force behind image compression [15:24] although, pr0n isn't always the best for image clarity.. angelina's better if you can't see the hair on her lip ;) [15:24] brb, I've gotta gun this X session to unfsck my libs.. [15:33] wow, that didn't go so wel. [15:35] that'll teach me for being all -current ;) [15:36] Isn't rank-proportional selection is the same as binary tournament? [15:37] I couldn't tell you [15:38] Hey, you're the evolver guy! You should know [15:38] its true.. [16:03] Join: sf_ghoul joined #corewars [16:03] Hello [16:03] SF!
