Pythack now was able to get the fc-solve test suite up and running. |
Zuu |
eh?! |
* Zuu |
solves rindolf |

Zuu: I am not solvable. |
rindolf |
I am Turing hard. |
Zuu |
:S |
* Zuu |
never heard of anything called 'turing hard' |
joeyadams |
lol. Zuu's probabilistic, so maybe he can solve you. |
Zuu |
but i guess i have now |
joeyadams |
Formal definition of Turing hard: blah blah blah hard blah blah Turing blah. |
Zuu |
Hahahaha :D |
joeyadams |
Wikipedia: Given a set X in P(N), a set A in N is called Turing hard for X if X <=_T A for all X in X. If additionally A is in X, then A is called Turing complete for X. |
joeyadams |
Does that clarify? |
joeyadams |
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_reduction for the actual math symbols) |
* joeyadams |
assumes you get the point |
Zuu |
yeah, i think i'll have to put significant time into that, for me to comprehend it :) |
Zuu |
but maybe i will, some day :P |
joeyadams |
My point is that people like to use mumbo jumbo to describe more concise mumbo jumbo. |
joeyadams |
E.g. A problem is NP-hard if it is at least as hard as all the problems in NP. |
Zuu |
i undersstand enough of it, to be fairly confident that rindolf being turing hard, will not say much about his ability to be solved |
joeyadams |
I'm guessing Turing-hard means you can't solve a problem with a Turing machine (e.g. the halting problem) |
joeyadams |
(substitute Turing machine with "your computer" :) ) |
Zuu |
no, turing hard has something to do with expressiveness |
joeyadams |
okay, Zuu > joeyadams, so I can't help you :) |

tickles joeyadams ^^ |

A delicious apple is any fruit ∈ apple that is at least as tasty as any other fruit ∈ apple. |
joeyadams |
In other words, apples are in the set of recursively nommable fruits. |
rindolf |
joeyadams: what's up? |
joeyadams |
I'm babbling. |
rindolf |
joeyadams: Apple is one of my least favourite fruits. |
* Zuu |
watches a number of apples that recursively NOM's eathother |
rindolf |
It tends to be too commonplace. |
rindolf |
Or simpleton. |
joeyadams |
whoops, my logic is incorrect |
joeyadams |
Only delicious apples are ∈ the nommable fruits. |
joeyadams |
(recursively is just a word you throw in to sound smart) |
* Zuu |
NOMs joeyadams :> |
rindolf |
joeyadams: a friend of one of my sisters said that Apple is his favourite fruit. |
rindolf |
Ta-zuu! |
* joeyadams |
has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection nommed by peer)) |
Zuu |
yeah, unfortunately a lot of people throw with a lot of words to sound smart :/ |
Zuu |
my favourite fruit is a recursive banana! |
joeyadams |
although it certainly helps to use complex terminology to solve complex problems. As Aristophanes said, "High thoughts must have high language." |
Zuu |
.. along with immutable polymorphic pears |
joeyadams |
Zuu> I guess you have to peel it indefinitely? |
joeyadams |
lol |
Zuu |
Hahah, yeah :P |
joeyadams |
I tend to eat bananas in deterministic polynomial time. |
Zuu |
i eat them in linear time, but uses exponential space |
joeyadams |
lol |
rindolf |
Heh. |
joeyadams |
eww |
