omg 1.2mb... see on http://images.google.com.br/imgres?imgurl=http://rfv.insa-lyon.fr/~jolion/STAT/gauss.png&imgrefurl=http://rfv.insa-lyon.fr/~jolion/STAT/node45.html&h=536&w=768&sz=1209&tbnid=UIh16Xr_dMgoVM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=141&hl=pt-BR&start=13&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgauss%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dpt-BR%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:unofficial%26sa%3DN
<dark_light>
:P
<carm24>
links aren't working so great
<carm24>
anyway suggest want to specify a mean and variance, and get a random sample from the distribution each time the function is called
<carm24>
suggest = I just
<dark_light>
no, it's not the gauss function i said
<carm24>
anyway I got it working
<carm24>
feel like there should be an ocaml stats package though. too bad no one has time to make one :)
<carm24>
useful to get smooth values when running experiments
<carm24>
anyway I gotta get back to work. ttyl thanks
<dark_light>
bye:)

hey dark, still around?

<carm24>
damnit
<dark_light>
carm24, well, i am here
<dark_light>
(what a lag, hahahaha)
<carm24>
haha
<carm24>
yeah I got some bizarro errors when compiling but specifying the ypes to things fixed it
<carm24>
*types
<carm24>
I love ocaml. Such a breath of fresh air

ah hi guys

just trying to distract myself from coding

Hoping someone would say something about interesting about ocaml

when it happens, I browse mailing list archives... That's the fastest way to get answers to problems you didn't have yourself ;)

woohoo, I love writing small projects in ocaml. That way the TA's don't understand my code
<kmag>
carm24: you should go all the way to INTERCAL
<kmag>
carm24: but you do comment your code, right?
<kmag>
carm24: they should be able to get the gist of your code from the comments
<kmag>
carm24: ocaml syntax isn't that strange, either
<carm24>
kmag: I'm just joking. I don't think I'm even supposed to submit the code
<kmag>
back when I last used Ocaml, it was my favorite language
<carm24>
kmag: and because I'm usually forced to use C++ for work related projects, I comment my code thoroughly
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, are you Carmello?
<carm24>
indeed
<kmag>
but I'm too much out of practice with ocaml
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, back in school, eh?
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: finishing up reinforcement learning with rich sutton at UofA
<carm24>
kmag: you like some language better then?
<Smerdyakov>
Hm. A is a popular letter. What does it stand for? :)
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: alberta
<kmag>
carm24: not really... I use Python a lot at work
<kmag>
carm24: it's still my favorite language, from what I remember :-(
<carm24>
kmag: I've been dreaming up what ways of integrating ocaml into my research without pissing anyone off
<kmag>
Unfortunately, mlDonkey is probably the most popular software written in Ocaml
<Smerdyakov>
In my environment, ML is just the default language for research. Instead, I dream up ways of integrating Coq into my research witihout pissing anyone off. ;)
* kmag
googles for Coq, hoping not to find anything indecent
<vitriol_>
it would be great if there was more general purpose math libraries for Ocaml
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: haha yeah I haven't decided If I like OCAML or ML better. I think it would come down to which one generates faster code
<Smerdyakov>
For me, ML is a set containing OCaml and Standard ML, among other things.
<kmag>
carm24: I prefer fast correct code to blazing fast incorrect code
<carm24>
kmag: so do I. I believe both ML an dOCAML can do correct code. The question is which one compiles a faster version given the same algorithm
<Smerdyakov>
kmag, if their web site doesn't make that clear, then there is a problem. :)
<kmag>
Smerdyakov: my question was based on the google results
vitriol_ has quit ["Leaving"]
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, I don't think there's any contest for serious projects made up of many modules: MLton is just obviously way more effective than the competition because it is a whole-program compiler.
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: yeah I am debating on getting into MLton. Then again, I can make bindings from Ocaml to C/C++, which may be useful in the future
<kmag>
Is there an Ocaml -> SML compiler?
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, come on. Every mature language implementation allows C bindings.
<Smerdyakov>
kmag, I've never heard of one.
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: true, but I know how to do them in ocaml and have written them before
<Smerdyakov>
I think, if anything, it's easier in MLton.
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: ok so you're a big Mlton fan. I'm not disagreeing with you. I still need to compare ocaml and mlton some more though when I have a free moment (which is never)
<kmag>
do any of you have much experience w/ Haskell?
<carm24>
not really
<Smerdyakov>
kmag, I have _some_.
<Smerdyakov>
kmag, and lots of experience with pure functional programming in Coq.
<kmag>
Smerdyakov: what are your impressions of Haskell?
<Smerdyakov>
kmag, Haskell and ML are much more similar than alike. I think that pure functional programming is the future, and Haskell also has many interesting extensions that are worth looking at.
<Smerdyakov>
Oops
<Smerdyakov>
"More similar than different"
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: you keep saying "pure" functional. what does that mean?
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, no side effects, AKA referential transparency.
<kmag>
carm24: mainly, all types are immutable
<flux__>
haskell-people like to say 'side-effects are explicit' or something to that effect
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: does that imply no references at all? like ocaml's let x = ref 0 ...?
<Smerdyakov>
carm24, no references whose use is not made clear in the type of any function that manipulates them.
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: made clear?
<Smerdyakov>
In Haskell, types like (int -> IO int) instead of (int -> int).
<carm24>
not famaliar with that syntax in former expression. is IO == Input / Output?
<Smerdyakov>
IO is a particular monad. This is probably the point where you read something on the web if you are still interested.
<carm24>
Smerdyakov: ok I'm am but I need to finish this bizarro paper I'm writing on using k-means with RL. later
