00:00 asciilifeform ( now, good q is 'why do this?' and answer is -- 'you get analogue rng that is VERIFIABLE, just like the digital board in fg.' because you can pick up decay from below/above the board !!)
00:00 asciilifeform 1 photon sets off 2 detectors ~equally well as 1.
00:00 asciilifeform if close by.
00:03 asciilifeform if you wanted to be even more clever, could use strictly beta detector, and rely on the fact that the things go in two opposite geometric directions every time.
00:03 asciilifeform at asciilifeform's first (dis)honest job, there was a scintillator counting machine based on this principle.

11:01 asciilifeform trinque: expand plox
11:01 trinque I don't expect that there would for example be a diversity of republican emacs builds
11:02 trinque and if some idiot provides a vpatch that enables dbus, you simply do not use his key in .wot
11:02 asciilifeform actually trinque i know of at least 2
11:02 asciilifeform x11 and traditional
11:02 asciilifeform not everything is a matter of 'ugh, dbus'
11:02 asciilifeform some folx actually have variant use scenarios, and variant hardware.
11:04 trinque hm, possibly. though it's also possible I trust two separate paths down the v-tree for that
11:05 trinque we discussed this for trb openbsd patches
11:05 trinque in castle mod6
11:06 mod6 ah, ya
11:07 trinque subject there was ifdef throughout the code vs having multiple branches descending from the point multi-arch began
11:07 trinque often yes having the same patches ground onto each path
11:08 trinque but then the decision tree is there in V instead of buried in the code
11:09 trinque also costless abandonment of branches ; nothing to back out in the vpatched material

11:41 asciilifeform trinque: my last attempt at 'vtronic portage' ran into the brick wall of 'there are nongenesisable items in the tarballss'
11:41 asciilifeform (yes, motherfucking binaryturdolade in 'open sores' tars. e.g., graphics.)
11:42 trinque aha, that problem remains.
11:43 asciilifeform if only it, though.
11:43 asciilifeform the far bigger boojum is that ~95% of the tarballs include megabytes of autoconf liquishit.
11:44 asciilifeform vpatches are to be ~readable~.
11:44 asciilifeform a MB of autogenerated (by whom ? when ? where ? how ? no one knows for certain) liquishit -- is not readable.
11:45 trinque I dunno the existing C world can ever be expected to be fixed in the manner you imply.
11:45 trinque just caught, like trb, here's how it was

11:46 trinque sure, subset of "world" can be fixed
11:46 trinque and very cool
11:47 asciilifeform it isn't clear to me that autoconf was EVER necessary
11:47 asciilifeform it's a 'tv raft'
11:47 asciilifeform a fix for a 'problem' that simply does not exist on a halfway-wellmaintained system.

11:53 asciilifeform it is not a mystery that such a thing originated from people with NO concept of hygiene.
11:53 trinque because trying to enable luser that wouldn't be able to say. it's a sort of accessability for the disabled.
11:53 asciilifeform the living mushroom, with his beard having crumbs from 1985 in it somewhere still. and his circle.

11:54 asciilifeform trinque: except that it doesn't enable anybody -- if autoconf fails to find the headers, you are just as fucked as ever, gotta sit and puzzle out what environment flags to give it so that it has a sporting chance
11:54 asciilifeform Framedragger: if you're building for a unixlike, you're stuck with pthreads
11:55 Framedragger yeah that was my conclusion. so, guess will do. mk.
11:55 asciilifeform Framedragger: it was picked as example !
11:55 trinque also srsly don't reason with "is bad"
11:55 asciilifeform of 'MUST find header'
11:55 Framedragger suresure!
11:55 Framedragger trinque: not my reason, was satire (bad satire)
11:55 trinque suresure!
11:56 trinque asciilifeform: tried to make accessible is fine by this standard
11:56 asciilifeform i dun see any actual evidence of this 'tried'
11:56 trinque there's caked shit there in the spot; what did you want?

11:59 trinque nah thing appears entirely political, in that it [appeared to have] enabled this maximal user freedom thing
11:59 trinque use whatever libs, whatever userland, and everything will magically work because democracy is a thing.
11:59 asciilifeform dunno that 'it happened because tricked people with promise of Phreeedom'. it happened as a slime mold happens, as mushroom grows -- because it could, and because no pushback.
11:59 trinque "hurd" was supposed to be the culmination of this
12:00 trinque was *entirely* intentional in the way wave of human meat strategy is intentional
12:00 trinque (and honestly, hurd? apt.)
12:01 trinque doesn't discount the beardcrust factor either. "If we maximally shuffle the circumstances around us, surely *someone* will fuck us. Anything can happen."
12:02 asciilifeform trinque: do you recall the linux kernel modules thread ?
12:03 asciilifeform it was an instance of exactly same thing. ANY attempt to paper over 'i have nfi what the user has, let's support 10,000,001 possible braindamages' ends up looking like autoconf.
12:03 trinque sure it does, but someone had to think the user getting to do what he wants was a good thing first
12:03 asciilifeform 'yeah, what if he has an ISA nic from 1993! gotta support'
12:04 asciilifeform trinque: in context, it was either this, or linux dun exist and it's-1995-if-you-want-a-unix-box-buy-a-sun
12:04 asciilifeform pc hardware is liquishit.
12:04 shinohai https://zrcoin.io/ <<< get 5.5% monthly returns from thin air!

12:07 trinque RMS, wrathful old testament god, confuses the language of the people to prevent another tower of Microshit from being built.
12:07 asciilifeform 'gotta support 10,001 incompatible but otherwise equivalent shits' is a serious hell. it plagued armies in ww1 ('hey a trainload of ammo just came. but none of it fits our 7 types of rifle, it's all for that 8th'), the sov icbm forces ('we have parts but not for these 4 types of rocket, they are for 5th') etc

13:37 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-04#1637056 << i do believe you have a point, the explanation isn't exactly idiocy, but rather, the fact that in people with no technical ability, the seepage of their political ideas into their practice was unavoidable.
13:37 a111 Logged on 2017-04-04 15:59 trinque: nah thing appears entirely political, in that it [appeared to have] enabled this maximal user freedom thing
13:38 mircea_popescu and by people with no technical ability i mean the likes of ian murdock or rms. the lot of them, really.
13:39 mircea_popescu (no, noticing a nail and going "oh, i remember hammer can hit nails" is NOT technical ability. a ditzy blonde / bright dog can do the fucking same. technical ability is when you can say ~use x, because no other tool is more adequate here~. that's technical fucking ability.)
13:41 mircea_popescu so in idiots this decays to "what should i do here ?" "uh i dunno, but X is more friendly to our shared delusions of equality, humanism and our democracy!"
13:42 Framedragger didn't rms implement emacs by ~himself? or that doesn't count?
13:42 mircea_popescu are you aware of the substance of that claim ?
13:43 mircea_popescu ie, didja read the history, confront variants from multiple people ?
13:43 Framedragger ^ (i mean the gnu port)
13:43 mircea_popescu ahem.
13:43 Framedragger a port totally counts. however, as to your general point, no.
13:43 mircea_popescu might be a fun weekend project, "establish rms emacs involvement", if you're bored one weekend.
13:43 Framedragger (would be interested to hear someone deny it)
13:43 Framedragger hm, true.
13:44 mircea_popescu make some claims, source the claims, insist the sourcing's balanced, you know, like serious court reporter say.
13:44 asciilifeform Framedragger: http://ergoemacs.org/misc/Daniel_Weinreb_rebuttal_to_rms.html << see also.

13:44 mircea_popescu #trilema, where homework cheating lives.
13:45 mircea_popescu (i am not, for clarity, declaring he didn't anymore than i'm declaring he did. i personally dun gas.)
13:46 phf well, since already spoilt, original emacs was written by a bunch of different people for TECO and long after rms became maintainer of that. then greenberg rewrote it in lisp (multics emacs)
13:47 phf then gosling wrote a version of emacs for a unix machine, that was used by rms as the foundation for his emacs
13:48 mircea_popescu phf my hm hasn't returned yet. what conditions are presupposed that anticipate the problem ?
13:49 phf the need to not treat the binary as a black box and also the need for non-linear compilation
13:51 mircea_popescu why is what i assume you mean by non-linear compilation presupposed ?
13:54 phf i think the word you used was "unary"
13:55 mircea_popescu yes, but this is not in reference to compilation. it's in reference to user space. i don't expect there's a magical function f, but that there's a plurality of f1..fi...fn, which can all be linear in principle.
13:56 mircea_popescu and i suspect this goes to (one of the) roots of the argument : it is not broadly speaking sane for person writing code to expect that he knows what compiler user will use to produce object or machine code.
13:56 phf well, the plurality makes it non-linear, of course each one can be linear
13:56 mircea_popescu ok, but if you meant it in that sense i no longer see how it anticipates the very problem.
13:58 mircea_popescu (to continue link above : the prb idiocy "oh code is spec" is not invented by the idiots for this occasion. it's universally at the basis of contemporaneous cs, and it's all permeating. it stars with the expectation that you can tell whether the code you wrote is correct BY WHETHER THE MACHINE WORKS. this is utter fucking nonsense!111 appealing to tweens, perhaps, but still nonsense.)
13:58 phf the problem broadly speaking is that our solution to trust is "read the source code", in order to trust compiler you read the source code of the compiler. the trust chain terminates at bootstrapping. you can't "just" bootstrap on an untrusted system, you have to enumerate defensive approaches
13:58 mircea_popescu yes, and the objection to this is that you for some reason refuse the cornerstone of management, which is the differential approach.
13:58 mircea_popescu to try and resolve it : do you believe i could be a successful genovese merchant if i couldn't add ?
13:59 phf i didn't understand previous sentence, so i refuse to be led down a path towards a trap :p
13:59 phf what's the differential approach?
14:00 mircea_popescu where i tell two people to do the same thing and compare the results.
14:00 mircea_popescu i can judge whether an egg is rotten or not without being a hen myself. i can tell which kids aren't worth bothering with though i'm no mother "and i don't understand them like she does" etcetera.
14:00 phf i don't ~refuse~ it, i'm saying that differential approach is ~required~ because there's a problem. otherwise there'd be no need for an approach. i don't think it matters that approach is already presant for other purposes
14:00 mircea_popescu ah
14:01 mircea_popescu there's no dispute whatsoever then. except maybe for this much : that problem is a problem in the sense thermic death is a problem. always and everywhere without let or respite.
14:04 asciilifeform i gotta object to the analogy with the egg and rotten kid. this is more like 'which of these children will get which type of cancer, and when.'
14:05 mircea_popescu i dunno it goes that far.
14:05 mircea_popescu but to a large degree i can predict what the ailments of the women naked on the floor will be as time withers them.
14:05 asciilifeform there is VERY little that you can say re a multi-MB binturd without spending several $mil.
14:05 asciilifeform and even ~with~.

14:21 phf i think i see why we got on this thread. i was saying that bootstrapping is always a counterparty problem. i missed that that's not the case for fits in head (i think ascii might've tried pointing that out to me).
14:22 mircea_popescu i suspect it's mostly because we're thinking in yet not mutually understood terms.
14:22 phf we were comming from the direction of debian on 10 cds though, so restating my original point: i think bootstrapping can be solved with counterparty as an alternative to fits in head, i.e. i don't mind an approach where in order to bootstrap i get a binary from l1, that i use as a rich subtrate from which i can bootstrap.
14:23 phf that too
14:23 mircea_popescu the adage "trust, but verify" works splendidly when enough people do enough spot checking.
14:23 mircea_popescu the only problem is if they get lazy and turn into fly eyes.
14:24 mircea_popescu but in practical terms, i don't check all the living space all the time. i check random spots at random times and if they're dirty somebody sleeps in a zebra costume. this method keeps the place well clean, and it's how management works. hence the discussion of genovese merchants etc.
14:25 mircea_popescu it goes way the fuck earlier than that, the whole thing with clay stamps and ancient babylonians etc.
14:25 mircea_popescu it's also strictly opposite to the "human rights" imbecility.
14:28 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the spot check model is, again, wholly inadequate. if you have ONE debianism or heartbleed etc. it literally does not matter worth a shit how 'clean' the remainder of it may have been.
14:28 mircea_popescu and the reason it doesn't matter is because it's impossible not to stumble on the one.
14:29 asciilifeform quite possible.
14:29 asciilifeform a certain drepperism sat for, what, 22 yrs.
14:29 mircea_popescu "spot check model doesn't mater, if there's phosgene in the air you're fucked" "yes, well, i think i might notice the phosgene. by you know, how the gals drop like flies."
14:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform sat there.
14:30 asciilifeform this is more of a sarin than a phosgene.
14:30 mircea_popescu definitely noticeable in any case.
14:30 asciilifeform in the sense where, by the time you have any notice, you also have some serious problems.
14:30 mircea_popescu model this for me.
14:32 asciilifeform let's say we find that, e.g., gcc past 3.x embeds an off-by-one-ization in memcpy() , dependant on payload, and that it is triggerable specifically in trb tx processing.
14:32 mircea_popescu ok
14:32 asciilifeform and that we find this AFTER we put pogos on bottom of the sea, and on mars, in cement plinths.
14:32 mircea_popescu we don't put pogos that way. if you recall, i wasn't for it then, either.
14:33 asciilifeform it is the 'sarin' case : finding that you have been fucked, does 0 to unfuck.
14:33 mircea_popescu it is of no concern. we don't own the pipeline so we don't cement the products.
14:33 asciilifeform alternatively, say i find that gpg only ever was able to generate 100,000,000 different keys.
14:33 asciilifeform and enumerate them.
14:34 mircea_popescu for all you know i picked my primes by hand.
14:34 asciilifeform it'd quickly become apparent, neh, whether mircea_popescu (or whoever) did.
14:34 mircea_popescu it would. point remains : no unarisms.
14:34 mircea_popescu yes gpg can generate key. so can you. keep that in mind.
14:35 asciilifeform ^ asciilifeform: 'say a three megatonne bomb falls, you are 1km from ground zero' mircea_popescu: 'ha-HA! i wouldn't be caught dead near ground zero! foiled!'

14:37 trinque applies directly to present thread
14:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu when you were a kid, did the local boys also do the 'well ~i'll~ X' 'battle of wits' thing ? 'tomorrow i'll bring a TANK!' 'well ~i~ will bring antitank gun!' '~i~ will bring battleship!'
14:37 asciilifeform 'who is stronger, elephant or whale.'
14:38 mircea_popescu yes, but i played heroes while they did that.
14:38 mircea_popescu "what is stronger, titan or black dragon ?"
14:38 mircea_popescu (9yo mp actually did these determinations by hand. how about 2 vs 2 ? how about 1+1 vs 2 ? how about...)
14:38 phf well, presumably all this only applies when you have fits in head. otherwise you have to fallback to counterparty
14:39 mircea_popescu i will say, people tend to be amazed at what can fit in a head once proper trees are constructed for the fitting.
14:40 asciilifeform trinque: elaborate plox
14:43 trinque really mircea_popescu already did. "I lost a man using Debian machines today." not only do you know something about Debian, you know something about where he was. maybe not as much as you'd like, but you have some coordinates, and more importantly, if you don't suck, *you* aren't dead

14:45 mircea_popescu so today she asks, "But the question is, if that tree makes fruit, and they pretty much look like cherries... will you try one ?"
14:45 asciilifeform trinque: probably why threads re thompsonism tend to focus on gcc : it is THE failure point

14:52 mircea_popescu in related story : months ago, still in argentina, walked with girl past fence with arbust. beautiful white flowers with intoxicating aroma, like nicotiana alata on steroids.
14:53 mircea_popescu so i break one off, smell it, handle it, we arrive at the coffee house, i put it into one of the water cups they serve with coffee. meet local girl, ask her if she knows what this beautiful flower is, she does not.
14:53 mircea_popescu any guesses ?
14:53 asciilifeform oh i remember this

15:49 mircea_popescu "The Muskonauts post their latest launch on Youtube. Hackernews thinks their kids will give a shit whether Elon recycled rockets. The hilarity of Hackernews expectations of the near future is not outweighed by the repetition of the typical Hackernews output on space travel: space is not worth exploring, yes it is, nobody will use this, yes they will, and then six thousand pages of bad economic theory."
15:49 mircea_popescu this guy is fucking talented, it's almost like reading summaries produced by expert sluts! god. he's saving me a lot fo work!
16:00 shinohai I love this one "Hackernews wants it to use TLS, the better to paste passwords into it without feeling bad."

16:33 Framedragger one can appreciate the whatever-order derivative, tho / the writing style, yknow
16:42 Framedragger goddamnit, no email no nothing, the satire (http://n-gate.com/about/) is just too complete for its own good
16:44 * Framedragger blows dust off old twitter bot account and uses some of that gas mask canister
16:46 shinohai The twitter complaints are actually hilarious "Can we stop linking to the n-gate HN stuff? The author's just generically contemptuous rather than having any real insight into HN culture"
16:51 mircea_popescu asciilifeform hey, i take a while to rev up
16:51 mircea_popescu hn culture ?! Ahahahaha
16:53 shinohai https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/842766766287740928 <<< full lulzy status from "Sekoority engineer @ Google"
16:55 mircea_popescu if memory serves hearn was also merit washed as "something or the other" engineer at google.
16:55 mircea_popescu pretty obvious alphabet co. maintains a whole department of "usg cover provisioning"
16:56 mircea_popescu !!rate matthrew garret -10 "former klout expert on paul graham". irredeemable shithead.

18:23 mircea_popescu shinohai meh, contracts. how the fuck is this supposed to work.
18:24 * shinohai wanted to refer her to the Trilema article on the subject of contracts
18:24 mircea_popescu jesus fuck it's lengthy. omfg.

18:28 mircea_popescu we'll leave the "who takes on 50yo new slave" as a question for the ages.
18:30 ben_vulpes shinohai could pimp her out
18:30 shinohai I suppose there was a shortage of youger, more nubile slaves in that particular region of Latin America.
18:30 ben_vulpes sez right there she'd be down
18:31 ben_vulpes there is also some tiny arbitrage opportunity available i must point out; lock up the contract and then sell her off into improper slavery
18:31 mircea_popescu there's just about no way you'll beat the stupid out of her head before she croaks.
18:31 ben_vulpes whore, not slave!
18:31 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes i dunno how much you partake of whores, but 50yos usually have to be special ordered.
18:32 mircea_popescu think in terms of that cartoon re final cs class at stanford : "and you are the idiots who didn't get hired in 2nd or 3rd year". same deal, whoring is a fine plan for cut-above-rest 16yo. by the time she's 30 she's either married or too rich to care.
18:33 mircea_popescu 50yo whore is in a ditch somewhere, and her teeth in another ditch somewhere els.e

19:10 mircea_popescu in other sad stories, mp goes to very well appointed market, purchases litany of items. notices chunks of discounted cheese floating around in tub of iced water
19:10 mircea_popescu the items were discounted 25% and now had been discounted 75%!
19:10 mircea_popescu mp can not possibly resist buying 75% discounted cheese to find out why and wherefore it might have so offended the locals.
19:11 mircea_popescu mp takes the item home, and over a dish of oyster mushrooms lightly sauteed opens up the TRIPLE WRAPPED!!111 thing.
19:11 mircea_popescu at which point the trouble starts
19:11 mircea_popescu there's no scent whatsoever. at all. no runny. no mold. the hunk of petrocheese is entirely undisturbed, as "fresh" as it was when it left the plant, five years ago or whatever.
19:13 shinohai Is this some of the queso blanco popular in that area ?
19:13 mircea_popescu i don't think it's anything specifically.
19:14 mircea_popescu same thing usg issues, im sure.
19:15 shinohai There is a Mexican lady here that makes best damned queso blanco I've ever had. I've already stocked up on like 3 wheels of it.

19:27 pete_dushenski some cars (ferrari) have paddles mounted to the column so they're fixed regardless of wheel position. most others have the paddles fixed to the steering wheel proper and so they all move in unison. it's sort of a different strokes debate.
