00:02 asciilifeform trinque: easy one
00:03 asciilifeform trinque: the mind that invents death ray and spins round, round, round with it, 'for piglet!'
00:03 asciilifeform ( canonical: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-06-2015#1176872 )
00:03 assbot Logged on 25-06-2015 21:47:45; assbot: Logged on 03-02-2015 23:43:58; asciilifeform: winnie pooh walks into a butcher's shop, asks 'got mortadella' ? answer, 'sure' winnie pooh draws a submachinegun and spins round, round, round with it, mowing down everything that moves: 'for piiigleet!'
00:07 asciilifeform trinque: the thing about fefeleaga in my mind is that the stock off-the-shelf model of existence is a guaranteed suckfest.
00:07 asciilifeform see mr.o, 'The great mass of human beings are not acutely selfish. After the age of about thirty they almost abandon the sense of being individuals at all — and live chiefly for others, or are simply smothered under drudgery. But there is also the minority of gifted, willful people who are determined to live their own lives to the end'
00:08 asciilifeform and 'The impulse to cling to youth at all costs, to attempt to preserve your sexual attraction, to see even in middle age a future for yourself and not merely for your children, is a thing of recent growth and has only precariously established itself. It will probably disappear again when our standard of living drops and our birth-rate rises.'
00:08 asciilifeform fefeleaga is sop
00:08 asciilifeform it is the other items on the menu which are experimental, high-tech oddities, like particle accelerator.
00:09 asciilifeform yes, just like it.
00:13 trinque asciilifeform: first off, goddamn if I didn't just bellow laughter across the bar at "for piglet!"
00:13 trinque and indeed, fefeleaga is the baseline
00:14 trinque this is what we will amount to absent intelligence, luck, etc
00:14 trinque but then too, my end is just like hers
00:14 trinque absent "purpose" or whatever, just pain and desolation
00:15 trinque there is freedom in that, but I'm not ready to articulate it
00:16 trinque that freedom is why the story made me smile, horrible though it is

00:33 gernika Saddest stories I read in school were Bridge to Terebithia, and Where the Red Fern Grows. Not comparable to Fefeleaga I don't think.
00:34 trinque it's why I enjoy good metal
00:35 trinque death is always there, staring at you
00:35 trinque anticipating you
00:36 gernika My Dad did enjoy telling me the story of the Donner Party. One of his favorites.
00:36 trinque sure, you'd do it
00:36 trinque no matter how high a man ascends, he is also that
00:36 trinque starve him, and he will eat
00:36 trinque back him into a corner, and he will kill
00:37 trinque hence we are a species that inhabits every continent, and sometimes space beyond
00:37 trinque and hopefully much more of the latter, in the future

12:53 mod6 Meanwhile, now I'm gonna see if I can figure out this new versioning email. The hard part is going to be having to verify everything posted, and re-writing all of our documentation.
12:54 mod6 asciilifeform: Are you planning on posting each patch (that we've since included in rel1, rel2) in a separate email to the list with a detached sig and included sha512?
12:55 mod6 Sounds like from your email, that's pretty much the plan...
12:55 mod6 Just curious.
13:04 mircea_popescu <BingoBoingo> https://i.imgur.com/TWL7uf7.png << the reason HE can't have "his own opinions" is simply that he's hounding her. just like used car, insurance and aluminum sides salesmen can't have their own opinions.

13:06 BingoBoingo Oh, you though people who posted caps like that to reddit/voad/twatter would be anything other than derpy siding salesmen?
13:07 mircea_popescu well in this case he's some dude, speaking enligsh on a gadget. so... yeah, he's the sort that begs for sex.
13:07 punkman he only begs ironically
13:10 mircea_popescu oh ok then
13:10 BingoBoingo Of course
13:10 mircea_popescu /sarcasm
13:12 mircea_popescu anyway, the dudes that women hound are just as retarded. take me for instance : there's a shitton of opinions woman can't hold. recently met a very sweet girl, smart, decent figure. she's an argentine, so her only real chance to eat is to work for the government - there's really no productive activity going on here, much like it were say detroit. so she was some derpy "social worker" and aiming to either seniorize into
13:12 mircea_popescu the civil corps or maybe run for office as she ages. like you know, hillary.
13:12 mircea_popescu obviously that in that context, her choices are between depression and socialist ideas. so understandably, she had a lot of notions about "the people" and "the good".
13:13 mircea_popescu notions which also happen to be intolerable. such is lyf.
13:14 mircea_popescu she got so heartbroken she deleted her whatever profile etc. but wtf am i to do, i won't hang out with some chick that actually thinks "the people bla bla". just like that chick won't hang out with some dude that's either short or thinks the boo boo about fatties. cuz she can.
13:22 mircea_popescu punkman> "Some California farmers have turned to drip irrigation to reduce their water use." << ah welcome to state of the art in 1970 greece << word. i was rather impressed with what "intensive agriculture" meant down there.
13:22 mircea_popescu damn, 67 huh ? meat today!
13:23 mod6 asciilifeform: ok cool! rel1.patch and rel2-pre.patch do apply cleanly to all of the existing patches
13:24 mod6 now, I need to just validate these hashes.
13:24 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> and 'unknown soldier' is what ? << there is no doubt that at least one soldier somewhere existed, right ? this is not abstract but synthetic, like a statue to an apple. "which apple".
13:25 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238649 << detached sig, absolutely yes. posted as separate email each - absolutely fucking not

13:28 asciilifeform folks were demanding a thing which you can ask 'find me the longest chain signed by mod6' etc
13:28 asciilifeform so that's what i'm writing.
13:28 mircea_popescu nothin' wrong with that.
13:28 asciilifeform the basic unit of life in 'v' (apparatus) is the vdiff (output of vdiff.sh)
13:29 asciilifeform the latter is included in the latest ml post
13:29 mircea_popescu V is particularly apt.
13:29 asciilifeform and is also in the log somewhere.
13:29 mircea_popescu name something evvie while at it >D
13:30 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238664 << wai wat, i thought mircea_popescu's hobby was to pick this wildlife up from the streets and reformat it

13:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not at her age.
13:31 mircea_popescu it works for 19yos, it is not worth the hassle with 29yos.
13:31 mod6 asciilifeform: yeah, one email is ok by me. just was curious what you had in mind.
13:31 asciilifeform logical.
13:31 asciilifeform mod6: what i have in mind is that this ends up being a box where you can drop in a sig (l1 !) and, optionally, one or more patches
13:31 asciilifeform sig can be for existing patch in the list
13:32 asciilifeform patch must be accompanied with sig
13:32 asciilifeform (pairwise)
13:32 mircea_popescu sounds about right.
13:33 asciilifeform then everyone who did what mod6 did and verified that the universe of patches in 'orchestra' is actually identical to the previously published set but for the antecedent hashes,
13:33 asciilifeform can submit sigs for them
13:33 asciilifeform (with the proviso that he has read, grasped, each)
13:33 asciilifeform ideally someone who isn't me has also verified the antecedents
13:34 asciilifeform which entails doing exactly, word for word, what i did to make 'orchestra'

13:37 asciilifeform 'Congratulations Gavin and Mike on completing the patch to support larger block sizes. Although we all have ideological disagreements from time to time, two fundamental values of the Bitcoin community are freedom of choice and transparency of communication. Your work represents a big step in returning the power over Bitcoin's future back to the community where it belongs.' << l0l!!

13:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform who is this ?

13:38 mod6 <+asciilifeform> mod6: what i have in mind is that this ends up being a box where you can drop in a sig (l1 !) and, optionally, one or more patches << yeah, this is good
13:38 mircea_popescu so basically some tard wanted to pretend like he's important.
13:38 asciilifeform finally mustered the balls to pull the trigger
13:38 mircea_popescu why am i reading some tard's pretense, no matter how he thinks he's "hooked it" into the events.
13:38 asciilifeform idk, asked 'who was this'
13:39 asciilifeform answer 'some tard'
13:39 mircea_popescu to quote some people - this is great for bitcoin.

13:40 mircea_popescu anyway. nobody cares. in the most literal sense of that word.
13:40 mircea_popescu they can go fight eth for doge supremacy or w/e it is retards do.
13:40 mircea_popescu "oh this failed project is so exciting - look, it even overtook last quarter's failed project on the failed projects list!!11"
13:41 asciilifeform meanwhile my nodez are running hotter than ever
13:41 shinohai How many nodes u running?
13:41 asciilifeform same as before
13:41 asciilifeform 2 and 1/2
13:41 mircea_popescu time to put up some more nodes huh ?
13:42 asciilifeform there's another but i gotta travel to a somewhat distant place to plug the bugger in
13:42 asciilifeform but what we really need is moar nodez on serious commercial boxes
13:42 mircea_popescu ima bring a few up.
13:42 mod6 asciilifeform: here's what i've done so far with V, http://dpaste.com/2P6A59Y.txt
13:42 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1WtnjiU )
13:43 mircea_popescu incidentally, jurov and anyone else who might care : i will be wiping the archive of that hacker team thing. if you want copies of anything etc get it now.
13:43 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if not urgent, leave it up till monday night
13:43 asciilifeform or not. i think i got what i needed
13:44 mircea_popescu wasn't gonna do it right now.
13:44 mircea_popescu but it's on teh list, it'll get done eventually, an' i know people have a habit to prevaricate.
13:44 asciilifeform mod6: nice script and it will do until i'm done with the actual mechanism
13:45 * mircea_popescu really likes the name V
13:45 mircea_popescu a better name could not be had, for what this thing is and does.
13:45 * asciilifeform likes short names for frequently used machines
13:45 mircea_popescu "signatures offer the means to meaning, and for they who can listen, the enunciation of truth."
13:46 * asciilifeform currently racking brain over how to make the thing verify in better than O(N^2)
13:46 mircea_popescu why ?
13:46 asciilifeform it gets annoying, fast
13:46 mircea_popescu let me rephrase.
13:46 asciilifeform because every single operation involves walking EVERY sig FOR EVERY patch
13:46 asciilifeform because no other state.
13:46 mircea_popescu why do you think this is possible and if you have any reason to think so why aren't you fixing bitcoin then
13:47 mircea_popescu wait. for every patch in the line, right ?
13:47 asciilifeform it is possible if one does something jurovish and requires, e.g., sigs to include what they are sigs for in the filename or the like
13:47 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: mno, for every patch and every sig ever made.
13:47 mircea_popescu ah that's nonsense.
13:47 asciilifeform aha
13:47 asciilifeform this is a place we end up in because pgp is retarded
13:47 asciilifeform and one can't get a meaningful hash out of a sig
13:47 asciilifeform (file hash)
13:48 mircea_popescu we sadly have been overtaken by events in this point. i'd have much preferred to start work on this after the decanter work for "new pgp" was done.
13:48 asciilifeform same
13:49 jurov or do the same as with diff - add hash of content into every clearsigned doc
13:49 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-06-2015#1178517
13:49 assbot Logged on 26-06-2015 22:59:59; jurov: mod6 they append date and whatnot to data prior to hashing anyway
13:49 asciilifeform jurov: NO
13:49 asciilifeform jurov: no mutilations.
13:49 mircea_popescu incidentally, re <BingoBoingo> shinohai: I personally think this is the same process that slowly lead even Thermos to denounce Gavin, just... once enough time had passed to make MP espoused sanity seem original to the uninitiated <<< do not imagine that ms, yandex et all did not know same things i know. obviously trhey do, but they also had hoped they're somehow favoured sons. because "Terrorists will never do that, tr
13:49 mircea_popescu ust me".
13:49 asciilifeform because FUCKTARDED
13:50 mircea_popescu bitcoin changes everything, of course, and outside the heaped plate of humilation lasagna it allowed me to forcefeed bob beck,
13:50 mircea_popescu you can admire all the extra bezzle it forced microsoft & all to expend.
13:50 mircea_popescu which, yes, it's a great thing for teh free world.
13:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform hash in the doc is not a bad idea, eh ?
13:50 asciilifeform of the doc!!?!??!!
13:50 mircea_popescu yes.
13:51 asciilifeform with 'escaped dashes', the whole shit soup?
13:51 asciilifeform how about a big fat No.
13:51 mircea_popescu looky : when i signed a piece of paper i nulled out the empty spaces.
13:51 mircea_popescu a checksum's not a bad idea, why do you think it is a bad idea ?
13:51 asciilifeform because it doesn't belong in-band.
13:51 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> ^ hearn unzips and begins << So begins project Scott Tenorman
13:51 asciilifeform because a file is unitary.
13:52 asciilifeform because motherfucking unix philosophy.
13:52 mircea_popescu so i can't include a hash of the document i nthe document.
13:52 asciilifeform because what you end up with is two files who are somehow trying to sit in one chair
13:52 asciilifeform now you can't sha512sum on the file, have to put it through a cutter
13:52 mircea_popescu so by this theory, we should have one phone network for the network and another phone network for the control codes ?
13:53 asciilifeform all modern phone networks actually do this.
13:53 asciilifeform (not separate fiber, mind you, but may as well.)
13:53 mircea_popescu can i include checksums in packets ?
13:53 mircea_popescu or must have tcp packets and udp checksums separate ?
13:53 asciilifeform l0l
13:53 mircea_popescu well ?
13:53 asciilifeform unix utils work as depicted in, e.g., vdiff.sh, deadly-simple, BECAUSE file is a solid abstraction
13:54 asciilifeform can treat as stream
13:54 mircea_popescu hm.
13:54 asciilifeform if you want to break this, you get 100x the code and the gnomes.
13:54 asciilifeform i ain't doing it.
13:54 mircea_popescu either i've been very stupid for many years or you're just being nuts over here.
13:54 mircea_popescu ima have to meditate on this.
13:54 asciilifeform not without a much better reason than 'pgp breathes through its mouth'
13:54 jurov asciilifeform: yo want to stream pgp signed stuff_
13:55 jurov ?
13:55 jurov i don't get it too
13:55 asciilifeform jurov: i get to checksum a patch by patch | sha512sum or basta.
13:56 jurov patch | tail -n +1 | sha512sum
13:56 asciilifeform the pgp signature thing is fucktarded, can't believe for how long we've put up with it
13:56 asciilifeform jurov: how about line endings
13:56 asciilifeform now you have to CARE ABOUT THE INSIDES
13:56 asciilifeform fuck that.
13:56 jurov okay i give up.. what now?
13:56 asciilifeform !up cryptonaut420
13:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well obviouisly nobody ever used pgp for any serious purpose.
13:57 asciilifeform jurov: now i have to solve the problem. like i solved others before. but this one's gonna take some time, it isn't a nice clean shot in the head, but more of a slow isis beheading
13:57 asciilifeform gonna take a while, this sawing
13:57 mircea_popescu i think im going to translate an ancient romanian article, i can not begin to believe how fucking apt it is. i thoight it was purely a romanian thing.
13:57 * asciilifeform looks forward to reading
13:58 mircea_popescu but it is apparent, from the apoplectic reactions, and glaring when you look at the shards together, that the same jerking around is both behind the openbsd story and the pgp story.

16:44 bitstein asciilifeform, BingoBoingo: Satoshi didn't actually sign much (if anything?), so it would be hard to verify regardless.
16:45 BingoBoingo He signed enough that his signature could attest he wrote it or was rectotherm'd
16:45 asciilifeform could sign with his addresses, even.

17:17 asciilifeform 'your average Romanian fellow would readily prefer to earn 11 units, when everyone else earns 10, instead of an alternative where he earns 90, when everyone else earns 100, indifferent to the fact that 90 is still, significantly above 11. This, in the language, is called "the neighbour's goat problem".' << but this is rational !
17:17 asciilifeform at least in bitcoinlandia
17:17 mircea_popescu whether rational or not.
17:18 mircea_popescu in any case it makes the desires of post-capitalism, the welfare state and the consumerist society, impossible.
17:19 mircea_popescu inasmuch as at the time romanians declared they wish the latter, it was irrational.
17:19 asciilifeform folks want 'get rich while you sleep, damn it, not bathtub of 'monopoly' money.
17:20 mircea_popescu there's no way to get rich while you sleep that doens't include everyone else getting richer.

17:23 shinohai LOL
17:24 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i have yet to fully grasp how this particular arithmetic handicap works. what is the mental process like, whereby schmuck doesn't wake up to the fact that 'get 90 while everyone gets 100' is equivalent to 'lose 1, keep 9, when everyone keeps 10' ?
17:24 mircea_popescu lose 2
17:25 mircea_popescu it's not hard to explain tho. there's a political and a biological approach to life. the political approach is the thought of the alpha, the thing that results in half decade of trench warfare and a ruined europe : "either you sit lower than me or we fight."
17:25 asciilifeform at any rate, the fixation with units of account is odd, if speaking of sovietized folk. i'd imagine they would realize that what they really want is 'sleep ad libitum', or even 'mercedes 600', rather than 'bag of benjies' per se
17:25 mircea_popescu the biological approach is, "all i need are three meals a day. half a meal a day is less than what i need, five meals a day is more. i prefer the latter"
17:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform exactly wrong.
17:26 mircea_popescu there's a reason argentines are worried about "insecuridad" and mexicans abotu the fucking rain. they published a study here recently - the most worried about global warming is... south fucking america. they're still in the 1850s re sun here, even have their ozone.
17:27 mircea_popescu so, no. the soviets will be obsessed with units of account.

17:33 asciilifeform 'It is important to note that we aren’t asking vendors to stop implementing the Suite B algorithms and we aren’t asking our national security customers to stop using these algorithms.

17:34 mircea_popescu this is directly contradicting the last phrase in the previous snippet.
17:34 asciilifeform aha
17:34 asciilifeform hence my observation.
17:34 mircea_popescu we aren't recommending you do what we just recommended you do.
17:35 mircea_popescu ridiculous. anyway, let teh usg keep on with the curves, wut.
17:37 asciilifeform kinda curious which hardness puzzle they'll bless for 'q-resistant'
17:38 BingoBoingo wyrdmantis: Majority of social media noise not italian, check their grammar
17:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform if you add two and substract two and it comes out as what it was it's quantum resistant right ?
17:42 mircea_popescu at least in 99.9% of cases.
17:42 asciilifeform qc is not a wholly imaginary item, but a well-defined gadget proposed by r. feynman (naturally without schematics..)
17:43 mircea_popescu on what grounds do yo uassume this is that ?
17:43 asciilifeform what will or will not run, is also not completely empty field (e.g., shor's algo)
17:43 mircea_popescu "scientist" is also a well defined gadget.
17:43 asciilifeform don't misunderstand, defined in strictly gedankenexperiment terms
17:43 asciilifeform in 'lectures on computation' (r. f.)
17:43 mircea_popescu there is no basis that i can perceive on which one could propose that the term "quantum" as used by usg in any context has any meaning.
17:44 wyrdmantis BingoBoingo: yes, i know, but the italian community that uses Telegram chatrooms is on fire tonight
17:44 mircea_popescu i didn't know you were italian wyrdmantis
17:44 mircea_popescu then again i also didn't know telegram is some sort of chatroom, so.
17:44 asciilifeform they are speaking of a particular machine, which no one (as publicly known has built), but, e.g., 'd-wave' fraudulently sold to a few rich schmucks, and the difficulties of construction are not mysterious
17:44 asciilifeform like airplane in 1880

17:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: prolly better comparison is hot fusion
17:45 mircea_popescu probably even better comparison is "stealth"
17:45 mircea_popescu turns out the stealth airplane is not stealth in any sense.
17:45 asciilifeform in that aficionados will point to a list of fairly specific, supposedly-'we're almost there' problems, that in point of fact no one knows how to solve ~~in ensemble~~

19:32 asciilifeform ^ was him i think.
19:32 BingoBoingo hmmm... I could have swore you introduced his links when Baltimore burned
19:32 BingoBoingo AH
19:32 BingoBoingo Twas the ghost
19:33 asciilifeform the z80 article has spiffy photos
19:33 asciilifeform recommended.
19:33 BingoBoingo I can't remember the details of that drama, but damned if I don't confuse him for everyone else
19:33 cazalla asciilifeform, what am i looking for in netstat? also, i still had 8333 port forwarding in router going on for 0.8.3, might that be the problem?
19:33 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: you may be confusing him with diametric, like mircea_popescu did on a few occasions
19:33 asciilifeform diametric is an actual person i see just about every day.
19:34 BingoBoingo I've always confused him with diametric. In this case I think I confused with you because you talked about having been to the burning places in Baltimore now that I think about it.
19:34 asciilifeform i have been to them. prior to their burning.
19:35 mircea_popescu that wikipedia article is a rare example of extreme millitant ignorance.
19:35 mircea_popescu a) the term is older than freud
19:35 BingoBoingo Lafond guy seems to have some good stuff, a lot of bad stuff, and some interesting fiction. Just that accounting for getting hit in the head part takes work.
19:36 mircea_popescu b) it readily describes all sorts of known-broken apprtoaches and techniques. such as the use of blackmail. it pointedly has nothing to do with either beating or set time breastfeeding
19:36 mircea_popescu the two women named, miller and the other one, are unrelated to any academic field and especially unimportant for child rearing or child psychology.
19:37 asciilifeform it isn't an article, it is cant, and this is detectable via five-second litmus of first paragraphs
19:37 * asciilifeform doesn't typically bother to read these
19:37 mircea_popescu but i am curious to see if this new trend will in some sort of timeframe bring us the black man invented cellphone of 2020
19:37 asciilifeform here already
19:37 mircea_popescu etc.
19:37 asciilifeform soviet elephants are the biggest in the world!
19:37 mircea_popescu well can't be here already, not yet 2020
19:38 mircea_popescu in any case, sure, "buterin and hearn invented bitcoin in 2017" is just about the same deal.
19:38 asciilifeform it'll be ethylin or somesuch
19:38 asciilifeform propylin
19:38 asciilifeform heptylin.
19:39 mircea_popescu but hey, at least alexithymia
19:39 mircea_popescu because if you say it in greek it ceases to be contemptibly stuopid.
19:40 mircea_popescu The term "alexithymia" was coined by psychotherapist Peter Sifneos in 1973
19:40 mircea_popescu except you can't "coin" anything if nobody ever heard about you or cared to read your stuff.
19:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform back to the earlier issue. how do you reconcile your concept of "a file" with your concept of notation ?
19:44 asciilifeform wai wat
19:44 mircea_popescu seems utf-8 is requisite.
19:44 mircea_popescu you can't have ascii.
19:44 asciilifeform why ?
19:44 asciilifeform can have what you want in the file
19:44 mircea_popescu because what is the difference between "this file is noted in ascii" and "this file includes a hash"
19:44 asciilifeform because don't care what's inside
19:45 mircea_popescu but ascii implies oyu must care.
19:45 asciilifeform if you care what's inside, now you have to cut it
19:45 asciilifeform i can (and often do) sign a tar.gz
19:45 asciilifeform or, on one occasion, 10MB of rng output
19:45 asciilifeform (or how much was it.)
19:46 mircea_popescu but these are numbers.
19:46 asciilifeform aha
19:46 asciilifeform let's work this out.
19:46 asciilifeform if i want to embed hashes next to their payload, i get an explosion of complexity. because,
19:46 mircea_popescu on what basis does ascii notation exist ?
19:46 asciilifeform 1) now i have to remove the header before hashing the payload
19:47 asciilifeform 2) have to represent the header differently if payload is meant to be displayable ascii, than if it is a binary
19:47 asciilifeform (that is, unconstrained to printable chars)
19:47 asciilifeform btw 'binaries' are not merely 'un-ascii' but include intrinsic unprintables (control chars)
19:48 asciilifeform so it isn't an ascii vs utf fight
19:48 mircea_popescu but on what basis does this particular alphabet exist.
19:48 asciilifeform on the basis of the fella who build the vt100
19:48 asciilifeform ask him, not me.
19:48 asciilifeform some codes were reserved for line feed, dinging the bell (yes), etc.
19:49 mircea_popescu right.
19:49 asciilifeform cat /dev/random and see what you get.
19:50 asciilifeform or some other source of binaryrubbish
19:50 asciilifeform you will even notice that sometimes this results in a permanently b0rk3d terminal.
19:51 kakobrekla happens when i tail the wrong thing.
19:51 mircea_popescu right ?
19:51 asciilifeform aha.
19:51 mircea_popescu so then how do you resolve this ?
19:51 asciilifeform by out of band sign.
19:51 mircea_popescu mno.
19:51 mircea_popescu the fact that your cat /dev/random breaks things is PROOF that you are already using something like "hash" in your file.
19:51 asciilifeform or with magical fairy dust.
19:52 asciilifeform wai wat
19:52 punkman best thing you can do with text encodings is guess
19:52 mircea_popescu there is necessarily no difference, at the conceptual level we're discussing, between "don't put hash in file" and "ascii doesn't exist"
19:52 asciilifeform throwing garbage into a vt100-compatible terminal breaks things for reasons that are not mysterious at all. rtfm?
19:53 mircea_popescu manuals don't matter.
19:53 asciilifeform terminal has state.
19:53 mircea_popescu i can write a manual for how to interact with my file with hashes in it
19:53 asciilifeform and various oddities not really used in modern times.
19:53 mircea_popescu "explosion of complexity", ie, the need for manuals.
19:53 asciilifeform ok back to the example
19:53 asciilifeform say we ask that a file carry hash in a header.
19:54 asciilifeform IT CANNOT BE THE SAME FORMAT FOR bins and text
19:54 mircea_popescu im not really interested in the practical example, but in the theoretical objection.
19:54 asciilifeform because if we deal with the insides of any text, ever, we suddenly get line-endings and escapes and crapola
19:54 asciilifeform this is the objection
19:54 asciilifeform cannot be oblivious of payload
19:54 asciilifeform cannot rehash just by cat file | sha512sum
19:55 asciilifeform now have to put in a whole paragraph of sed, tr, and other potentially drepperized utils
19:55 asciilifeform (i, for instance, know of two separate exploitable bugs in 'strings'.)
19:55 mircea_popescu so you're not really defending a principle, you're just saying "we already have all the complexity for X idiocy, and not for Y idiocy, thus X i won't notice and Y i'll reject"
19:55 asciilifeform no.
19:55 mircea_popescu then speak to it.
19:55 asciilifeform the present scheme has intrinsically fewer moving parts.
19:55 asciilifeform and is more oblivious of contents.
19:56 asciilifeform ergo superior.
19:56 mircea_popescu but by that same principle, ascii is an unacceptable convention.
19:56 asciilifeform whereas the alternative is only even contemplated because pgp is retarded.
19:56 asciilifeform ascii is retarded. complain to the central committee, or who was it.
19:56 asciilifeform ckkpss.
19:56 mircea_popescu so you agree that actually ascii is dumb and has no place in computing ?
19:57 asciilifeform sure is.
19:57 mircea_popescu and utf-8, or whatever other unfixed width translation scheme, is the right approach ?
19:57 asciilifeform it still won't display /dev/random
19:57 asciilifeform meaningfully
19:57 asciilifeform btw, in-band signalling is precisely why an animal like 'backspace' is a character
19:57 asciilifeform or line-end
19:57 asciilifeform etc
19:58 asciilifeform iirc tcp as originally proposed had a second channel for virtual 'out of band' ! but was never used.
19:58 asciilifeform by anyone.
19:58 asciilifeform because 'eh why'd we need that!'
19:58 mircea_popescu im starting to think there's really a lot more than meets my eye.
19:58 asciilifeform there sure is
19:58 mircea_popescu here*
19:59 mircea_popescu but ascii is eminently A REDUCTION of complexity!
19:59 mircea_popescu and tcp with 2nd chan did not catch on precisely because added complexity.
19:59 asciilifeform or so it appeared.
19:59 mircea_popescu it still does. to this very day.
19:59 asciilifeform the question of 'which road to take to ultimately get fewer moving parts' is the mega-question in all engineering
19:59 mircea_popescu they got python to work with it in six weeks over pizza, and they still don't have python that works with special chars
20:00 mircea_popescu ten years of trying late.rt
20:00 asciilifeform but ten years of who..
20:00 mircea_popescu supposedly some of the original crew at least for part of it
20:03 asciilifeform aha.

20:04 asciilifeform briefly back to that thread: the only way to have a channel where any possible bits are correctly drawable on a terminal, is to put the control codes (which move the cursor, or flip colours, or ring fucking bells, or release guillotine blade, or whatnot) on ~another~ channel.
