2005-06-30.txt:22:50:11: <calamari> zaphod: the problem with planetlab is that it is continuously overloaded.. but yeah, it's cool in certain ways.  I think it's neat how you can appear to have root on a machine when you really dont
2005-08-16.txt:22:28:31: <Gs30ng> but now the system resets itself continuously
2005-09-07.txt:21:20:57: <jix> ah continuous wavelet transform seems to be the thing needed for this... 
2006-01-24.txt:20:04:31: <fizzie> It's either unaccelerated (with a fixed multiplier), or has this "if the mouse moves over N pixels quickly, use another speed multiplier" setting, but it's not a continuous function.
2006-08-15.txt:04:06:47: <Razor-X> 500 words later I can read 8 pages of Japanese continuously.

2007-01-10.txt:19:24:25: <oerjan> Although if the code = bits and so is self-modifying, the decoding may have to be done continuously.
2007-01-13.txt:22:14:07: <oerjan> My timing suggestion was to find out how quickly you can spam continuously :)
2007-02-16.txt:04:21:55: <ihope> And if you have a "continuous" set like that, it defines an ordinal number.
2007-02-20.txt:23:40:27: <SevenInchBread> well... that adds up when you insert values onto strings continuously.
2007-03-18.txt:23:16:38: <oerjan> if the function x is stepwise continuous you can use numerical methods
2007-03-21.txt:02:42:05: <oerjan> with reals and continuous functions you can show you cannot get more than one variable for sure, unless the function is at an extreme value
2007-04-28.txt:20:51:43: <pikhq> All that you can tell with average velocity is that, at one point, the instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity. . . (assuming a continuous function)
2007-05-04.txt:01:45:08: <pikhq> There's an infinite number of *points* of time. . . But measuring anything continuous is done not by a measurement of number of points.
2007-05-18.txt:04:50:02: <oerjan> you mean continuous?
2007-05-18.txt:04:50:27: <GregorR> e.g. IS continuous.
2007-05-29.txt:13:33:47: <bsmntbombdood> "Between the 120 ~ 150 hours mark vivid hallucinations, similar, but more lucid than those of a psilocybin experience tend to begin, and by the seventh day (160+ hours) the participants are reported to be both awake and lucidly dreaming continuously."

2007-07-07.txt:19:09:46: <ihope> If there's a continuous bijection between RxR and RxR that maps S onto T, then S and T are equivalent.
2007-07-07.txt:21:47:35: <oklopol> innumerable brainfuck: a function and a range a...b is specified, then for every result of that function in that range is given it's own thread (infinite threads that is), so that every thread has a real number representing an infinite number of brainfuck instructions to execute (base 8 presentation); should a thread be given a faulty bf program it dies; the memory is shared, and it's continuous, > will move one derivative and has to be executed infinit
2007-07-07.txt:21:48:06: <oklopol> actually, if you lose that continuous memory, that can be written an interpreter
2007-07-09.txt:21:42:10: <edwardk> you basically view all functions as continuous functions in a pointed CPO. totally unrelated to the pointfree/pointless debate =)
2007-07-15.txt:00:12:58: <ehird`> anyway, a memory cell basically just continuously emits bits in the format accepted by gates, etc.
2007-07-26.txt:08:05:46: <Sukoshi`> Yay. Continuous spamming \o/
2007-07-31.txt:18:58:22: <RodgerTheGreat> well, they're doing well with their Xbox arm, even though that segment of the company has operated at a continuous loss as long as it's been in existence. It's an example of Microsoft realizing there's something much more valuable than money- mindshare.
2007-08-19.txt:00:53:07: <mudge> as long as it is not your main programming language you know really well and have been programming in continuously for years, it's OKAY

2007-11-17.txt:03:13:24: <Slereah> I'm not even sure what "inverse probability" means in the context, since some probabilities are continuous.
2007-11-21.txt:18:45:35: <oerjan> ehird`: i guess it's a continuous scale from completely closed network to complete anarchy
2007-11-22.txt:16:57:45: <oklopol> the problem is it doesn't suffice if the function is continuous, the human ear will notice a sudden change in derivative
2007-11-25.txt:07:06:06: <oerjan> with certain restrictions this gives you a continuous invertible function from the Cantor set to itself, such that the iterated orbit of every infinite path is a dense subset of the Cantor set
2007-11-30.txt:06:17:22: <oklopol> anything that only cares about continuous sequences can be no
2007-11-30.txt:06:49:51: <oklopol> i mean, the number of continuous segments in a list
2007-11-30.txt:19:55:18: <oklopol> if you have a continuous world, definItely
2007-11-30.txt:19:56:19: <ihope> Keep velocity continuous-ish, but make position discrete, and then have a random chance of moving based on velocity?
2007-11-30.txt:19:56:25: <oklopol> well, as WOLFRAM, MY IDOL demonstrated in A New Kind of Science, discrete worlds with may particles can produce continuous-like behaviour
2007-11-30.txt:19:57:53: <ihope> Maybe you could just describe how this discrete-continuous stuff would work?
2007-12-02.txt:03:12:32: <bsmntbombdood> continuous in [0, \infty]
2007-12-02.txt:03:12:40: <oerjan> oh, continuous
2007-12-02.txt:16:13:24: <oerjan> i do recall looking at some work on continuous populations
2007-12-06.txt:20:20:15: <oklopol> if there's just a continuous explosion, i don't really see a possibility for computation
2007-12-12.txt:07:12:51: <oklopol> errrer i have some weird pronoun use there, anyhow, my point is, even if the universe was fully continuous or something and you could actually have an infinite memory, time travel would provide an oracle (as the name might suggest...), the problem is, there is no paradox here, no system is predicting it's own behavior.
2007-12-13.txt:14:43:11: <dbc> If every sound wave that kicks in does so from zero, and fades out at the end, the function as a whole should be close to continuous.
2007-12-14.txt:21:33:41: <ihope_> Hmm, ContinuousEquation reminds me of a certain idea I had once.
2008-01-02.txt:03:54:04: <oklofok> it then makes the list's head "result", then continuously applies the first function to the list and combines it with the next element of the list with the second function
2008-01-03.txt:03:45:15: <oklopol> oerjan: did you mean continuousequation?
2008-01-09.txt:14:24:46: <Slereah-> (```pred n .x i prints everything after a while instead of continuously)
2008-01-29.txt:16:40:37: <ehird> I continuously try new abstractions, while removing others.
2008-02-04.txt:22:44:47: <SimonRC> not 6 continuous years

2008-05-09.txt:22:39:47: <kar8nga> but you can still have a topology there and therefore continuous functions
2008-05-09.txt:22:40:12: <kar8nga> the whole point of continuous function is in the end that you can do the following:
2008-05-09.txt:22:41:30: <kar8nga> but a topology allows for a more general notion of convergence and then you are really happy of you have somewhere continuous functions
2008-05-09.txt:22:43:36: * oerjan likes the topological form (1) the image of a connected set under a continuous function is connected (2) a subset of R is connected iff it contains every value between any two elements

2008-10-18.txt:18:01:02: <ehird> i was asking about "continuous" pages, in that e.g. a news page about foos still being updated today would be odd to be placed at /1998/foos-news
2008-10-20.txt:20:14:46: <ehird> AnMaster: No. psygnisfive: I can blame it on your continuous rambling.
2008-10-23.txt:16:46:06: <GregorR> This is not a continuous measurement :P
2008-10-24.txt:19:11:52: <AnMaster> Deewiant, well a-f is a continuous range there iirc but not a-z
2008-10-24.txt:20:33:23: <AnMaster> ais523, continuous(sp?) integration for Funge?
2008-10-24.txt:20:33:42: <ais523> but you spelt continuous correctly
2008-10-26.txt:19:01:06: <oklocod> the scale is continuous
2008-11-27.txt:01:41:23: <oklopol> well actually analysis, which afaiu is a superset of calculus; basically about infinite continuous things.
2008-12-08.txt:17:36:53: <oklopol> it's a continuous problem
2008-12-18.txt:11:04:24: <oklofok> anyway a clear warning sign should've been, if that was an error, that one of the reasons for using a semiopen interval is exactly so you can get continuous intervals [a, c) by catenating [a, b) [b, c)
2008-12-23.txt:14:53:17: <Slereah_> Continuous brainfuck? :o
2008-12-23.txt:14:56:00: <oklopol> and yes continuous brainfuck
2008-12-23.txt:14:58:45: <oklopol> maybe output could be graphical and input mouse only, so continuous output would make sense
2008-12-23.txt:14:58:50: <oklopol> continuous IO
2008-12-23.txt:15:02:23: <oklopol> well continuous ranges are very different from discrete ones
2008-12-24.txt:23:55:26: <mib_8oomfc> so apart from timestamps, you get a "continuous" window
2008-12-26.txt:21:04:08: <oklopol> i would've harrassed you about continuous brainfuck
2008-12-26.txt:21:04:17: <ais523> continuous BF?
2008-12-26.txt:21:04:59: <Sgeo> I'd ask how continuous BF works, but I g2g
2008-12-26.txt:21:08:15: <ais523> oklopol: no, but it uses continuous probabilities, rather than discrete logic levels

2009-01-16.txt:17:53:38: <oklopol> but what about continuous brainfuck
2009-01-17.txt:19:50:41: <oklopol> holy fucking fuck. i'm starting to think continuous brainfuck is not entirely possible to do.
2009-01-17.txt:19:50:54: <AnMaster> oklopol, continuous brainfuck?
2009-01-19.txt:02:43:03: * kerlo ponders the continuous functions in Sierpinsky space
2009-01-19.txt:02:53:05: <kerlo> Oh, cool, a function to the Sierpinski space is continuous if and only if the set of functions it maps to 1 is open.
2009-01-19.txt:11:24:14: <oklopol> it's not a very continuous game, on any level, it breaks easily, in a way
2009-01-19.txt:11:27:03: <oklopol> chess is more of an algorithmic game, you can't continuously add challenge to it, as material, i guess is my point.
2009-01-19.txt:11:33:32: <oklopol> but, if the puzzles were handmade, or, well, even just generated more sensibly, you could even have continuous tetris
2009-01-19.txt:11:34:34: <AnMaster> continuous tetris?
2009-01-25.txt:00:03:48: <oklopol> how about continuous computation
2009-01-25.txt:00:07:47: <oklopol> kerlo: proce doesn't have continuous computation, it has computation applied on continuous things.
2009-01-25.txt:00:07:48: <kerlo> (Tough language: Programs are continuous functions from reals to reals where the image contains only integers.)
2009-01-25.txt:00:08:48: <oklopol> i mean continuous computation. instructions you can have any real amount of.
2009-01-25.txt:00:10:41: <kerlo> So, memory is a continuous function from R.
2009-01-25.txt:00:12:23: <kerlo> An instruction is a continuous function f : <state> x real number -> <state> such that f(f(x,a),b) = f(x,a+b).
2009-01-25.txt:00:14:13: <oklopol> they need to be continuous computation
2009-01-25.txt:00:14:42: <oklopol> kerlo: i guess that's pretty much the definition of continuous computation though :P
2009-01-25.txt:00:16:12: <kerlo> The set Q consists of all continuous functions Q -> Q.
2009-01-25.txt:00:24:36: <kerlo> For K to be in Q, it must be a function Q -> Q (it is) and it must be continuous. For it to be continuous, the preimage of every open set must be open.
2009-01-25.txt:00:25:05: <oklopol> oh. that's a definition for being continuous?
2009-01-25.txt:00:37:58: <oklopol> well i mean; how can a function from functions to functions be continuous?
2009-01-31.txt:19:07:42: <oerjan> um but irc is a continuous matter
2009-02-15.txt:18:23:43: <ais523> with a red infantry and a blue infantry who continuously walked round in circles
2009-02-21.txt:15:42:02: <ehird> and it has run continuously
2009-02-23.txt:18:32:37: <oklopol> and have you ever seen on continuously?
2009-03-22.txt:00:29:39: <zzo38> I also proved that the audioactive decay sequence (start at 1 and continuously run-length encode it) has no numbers higher than 3 and you won't get 333
2009-03-23.txt:22:53:49: <oklofok> how does population work? continuous? implicit, maybe?
2009-03-28.txt:23:56:07: <ehird> SimonRC: the fact is that lottery players (and I generalize here because the winners are few enough to be statistically insignificant) waste one pound a week continuously

2009-10-09.txt:00:05:19: <ehird> And in continuous mode, you can flick it and it'll keep rolling.
2009-10-09.txt:00:07:03: <ehird> Gregor: The point is that it's a separate button just below the wheel in the MX Revolution, and the scroll wheel is a mechanical button to switch between continuous/descreet.

2009-10-22.txt:03:55:53: <Pthing> 1005.54  Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral. Differential means locally-discontinuously linear. Integration means omnispherical. And the intereffects are precessional.

2009-12-16.txt:23:41:29: <oerjan> continuous
2009-12-16.txt:23:42:16: <uorygl> Intuitively, yeah, I think the linear combinations of that set are the continuous functions.
2009-12-16.txt:23:44:51: <oerjan> the things that are integrals of measures are known as "absolutely continuous" functions
2009-12-16.txt:23:48:03: <oerjan> oh wait absolutely continuous applies to when the measure itself is absolutely continuous
2009-12-16.txt:23:49:26: <oerjan> for (non-negative) measures, what you get by integrating them are the right continuous increasing functions
2009-12-22.txt:20:44:19: <ehird> continuously

2010-02-03.txt:08:45:22: <oklopol> i guess we could take the space of all continuous paths, and give it a natural measure obtained by some sort of integral average
2010-02-07.txt:19:39:57: <augur> my solution would be, do like haskell does, but allow discontinuous definitions of function alternatives.

2010-02-14.txt:06:08:21: <alise> augur: I'm referring to my subjective *continuous* experience though
2010-02-14.txt:06:08:34: <alise> what you said says nothing about my continuous experience, only its continuous experience - assuming them to be separate
2010-02-14.txt:06:08:59: <alise> see, all I care about is that my continuous conscious experience continues; and I believe that uploading, copying, teleportation and all the rest achieve this
2010-02-14.txt:06:09:14: <MissPiggy> you know it's not continuous though
2010-02-14.txt:06:09:26: <augur> alise, i think the problem is not with your continuous conscious experience
2010-02-14.txt:06:09:39: <alise> but the experience is continuous
2010-02-14.txt:06:09:50: <alise> thus my experience is continuous
2010-02-14.txt:06:12:22: <alise> in the mean-time, I will continue life as ordinary. that does exactly what I want as far as my continuous experience goes until I die
2010-02-20.txt:21:06:07: <AnMaster> alise, over the reals it must be continuous I think?
2010-02-24.txt:20:30:27: <cpressey> Nothing discontinuous in the sphere/table setup, though.
2010-02-26.txt:20:15:04: <AnMaster> how much are continuous reads?

2010-03-04.txt:17:10:47: <AnMaster> Deewiant, some of that will be taken by kernel mappings iirc. And libraries. Yes you could probably manage more than 2 GB stack if you could malloc() such a huge continuous chunk
2010-03-09.txt:00:46:42: <alise> "it uses continuous analysis, which is meaningless."
2010-03-09.txt:14:05:10: <alise> I'm thinking of some sort of function-based representation, something that reifies the concept of the continuous line into the way you access the board.
2010-03-11.txt:19:07:32: <uorygl> One of my childhood dreams was to come up with a formula that could uniquely represent every line using a pair of real numbers, continuously.
2010-03-11.txt:19:12:39: <oerjan> AnMaster: and two real numbers work for almost every line, but you cannot make it work uniquely and continuously
2010-03-11.txt:19:14:05: <oerjan> AnMaster: but that doesn't become continuous
2010-03-11.txt:19:15:00: <uorygl> There's no "issue" with it.  It's just that the problem I posed is to do it continuously.
2010-03-11.txt:19:15:02: <AnMaster> oerjan, what exactly do you mean with continuous here? The functions in question are each continuous (well, I'm not sure about x=m, but I can't see why it shouldn't be, since here you have x as a function of y...)
2010-03-11.txt:19:15:52: <uorygl> Intuitively, if you're representing lines as pairs of real numbers, "continuous" means that as you move the line around in a continuous manner, the real numbers change in a continuous manner, and vice versa.
2010-03-11.txt:19:16:50: <uorygl> Try it; there's no way you'll get it down to two points, give a unique representation for every line, and be continuous.
2010-03-11.txt:19:18:33: <uorygl> The thing is though, you can't uniquely, continuously represent angles.
2010-03-11.txt:19:22:51: <oerjan> AnMaster: there are a million (understatement) ways of hacking around this.  there is however no continuous, bijective mapping from R^2 to the space of lines in R^2.
2010-03-11.txt:19:23:56: <oerjan> (the inverse is automatically continuous so it would have to be a homeomorphism, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariance_of_domain)
2010-03-11.txt:19:25:45: <AnMaster> oh wait, it wouldn't be continuous...
2010-03-11.txt:19:26:10: <AnMaster> <oerjan> AnMaster: there are a million (understatement) ways of hacking around this.  there is however no continuous, bijective mapping from R^2 to the space of lines in R^2. <-- has this been proven?
2010-03-11.txt:19:27:00: <AnMaster> uorygl, well yes I gave an idea for it above, but not sure how to represent the direction of said line in a continuous way
2010-03-11.txt:19:32:52: <uorygl> Anyway, it doesn't need to be infinitely wide; the entire real line can be compressed continuously into an interval line (0,1).
2010-03-26.txt:20:44:37: <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: more importantly, absolute values are continuous and so triangle waves have perfectly good fourier series
2010-04-05.txt:01:59:55: <oerjan> every function on them is continuous, i hear.  you could prove that.
2010-04-06.txt:15:10:42: <AnMaster> Deewiant, and why is the cfunge plot in plots/horizontal.b98/100000/line-memtime.svg discontinuous?

2010-05-05.txt:15:16:43: <nooga> they decommissioned last Odra 1305 (Polish mainframe computer) after 34 years of continuous work without any malfunctions
2010-05-15.txt:17:33:20: <alise> A continuous CA has several problems, such as: not being a CA; and being uncomputable.
2010-05-15.txt:17:34:14: <AnMaster> Phantom_Hoover, actually it is a CA even if not discrete. Except CA now stands for Continuous Automaton ;P

2010-05-27.txt:13:13:05: <oerjan> an immersion, you map all the points into a space such that _locally_ it's a homeomorphism (continuous bijection whose inverse is also continuous)
2010-05-27.txt:13:15:05: <oerjan> actually the wikipedia definitions imply that you use differentiable mappings, not just continuous ones.
2010-05-28.txt:14:52:49: <oklopol> in 1d most problems become decidable, if the affine map is continuous, but if it's not then no one knows anything
2010-05-28.txt:22:51:29: <alise> Until 2004, massive loudspeakers mounted on several of the buildings continuously delivered DPRK propaganda broadcasts directed towards the south as well as propaganda radio broadcasts across the border.[17] In May 2010, due to the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, South Korea resumed broadcasting news, western music and programmes comparing the political and economic situations on the two parts of the peninsula.[20]

Something simple, with a disassembly view, IP highlight, single-key single-step, and register values continuously visible in a separate pane or something. (I've used cgdb with single-key macros of "stepi" and "info registers", but it's still a bit pessimal.)
