rindolf: you can make a processor in minecraft yes |
| rindolf |
Altreus: ah, OK. |

Let's write a Perl->Mincraft compiler. |

Implementing a Turing complete interpreter inside a VM is not hard. |
| rindolf |
vi keystrokes (not vimscript) are also Turing complete. |
| rindolf |
As is the Game of Life and infinite Minesweeper |
| jettero |
rindolf: I can almost imagine GoL, but how is minesweeper going to be turing complete? |
| Altreus |
nuts |
| Altreus |
that always worked for me |
| Altreus |
maybe you have to log in at least once |

jettero: I have not read the paper. |
| rindolf |
jettero: of course, true Turing completeness is only possible with infinite memory. |

Ah OK |
| * f00li5h |
hands rindolf an infinite hotel, and books every even room |
| rindolf |
f00li5h: :-) |
| * rindolf |
books every odd room that is divided by three. |
| rindolf |
f00li5h: is it א_0, א_1 or something more infinite? |
| f00li5h |
it's as infinite as it can be! |
| rindolf |
f00li5h: ah, good. |
| rindolf |
f00li5h: then I can book room pi. |
| rindolf |
Or sqrt(2). |
| f00li5h |
you sure can. |
| rindolf |
Nice. |
| f00li5h |
but you might like something a little more spacious |
| rindolf |
Ah. |
| f00li5h |
like the rooms between 1 and 2 |
| rindolf |
Which room do you recommend? |
| rindolf |
Ah. |
| j_wright |
what about sqrt(-1)? |
| f00li5h |
plenty of space there |
| f00li5h |
j_wright: that room's popular, i'd imagine it's booked |
| f00li5h |
the biggest problem is aloting extensions on the room phones |
| Altreus |
my infinite hotel's rooms have two numbers each, being a point on the complex plane |
| Altreus |
it increases address lookup time |
| Altreus |
also the hotel happens to be all one floor so that helps |
| j_wright |
so they get two sets of addresses? |
| j_wright |
polar too |
| f00li5h |
take the ⧜th left, and then head down ∞th right |
| Altreus |
no just one |
| Altreus |
each room is unique |
| j_wright |
or turn n degrees and go m forward |
| Altreus |
oh yes I suppose you could map their addresses to a new coordinate space but that's true of any plane with a landmark |
