00:05 sina ok back
00:07 sina mircea_popescu: off the top of my head there were two things that I thought needed clarification
00:07 sina one was this http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1668149
00:07 a111 Logged on 2017-06-10 03:59 mircea_popescu: i say count from 1.
00:08 sina which led to this conclusion http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1668162
00:08 a111 Logged on 2017-06-10 04:04 mircea_popescu: counterintuitively counting must be from 0 ?!
00:10 mircea_popescu so girl bought imported (us) strawberries, and i swear to god they taste like detergent. washed and rinsed the living shit out of them. it's in the fucking skin.
00:10 ben_vulpes sina: yo
00:11 sina there is also this http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1668191
00:11 a111 Logged on 2017-06-10 04:09 ben_vulpes: my next q is does the iteration run [0, count] or [0, count)
00:11 sina which I noticed in my golang impl is [0, count)
00:11 sina and I remember making it [0, count] and it breaking somehow or other
00:12 sina oh right I remember
00:12 mircea_popescu iirc that was correctly [0, count)
00:12 sina in mpfhf-python: for i in range(0, count):
00:12 sina which is [0, count], right?!
00:12 sina but in golang: for i := 0; i<count; i++ {
00:12 mircea_popescu nfi python
00:13 sina which is [0, count) :o
00:13 sina if I change golang to <=, it differs from python
00:13 ben_vulpes iirc we hit consensus with [0, count) in golang, however you implemented that
00:13 sina right
00:13 sina ok well those were the 2 things which I believe the spec should be refined to state clearly
00:13 mircea_popescu yes
00:14 mircea_popescu aite gimme a minute here ima write a final-drafrt
00:14 sina anything from your end ben_vulpes ?
00:14 mircea_popescu sina what do i ref you as ? got a blog or anything ?
00:14 ben_vulpes sina: neg
00:15 mircea_popescu and sina ben_vulpes where's the cannonical impl live for each of you ? i dun want to change links later.
00:15 sina you can link sina.id.au I guess, that is the castle home but no blog currently live there
00:15 mircea_popescu you own id.au ?
00:15 sina I don't
00:15 mircea_popescu wtf is wrong with you ?
00:16 sina wtf is wrong with me for not owning id.au? or for having a .id.au domain?
00:16 mircea_popescu "where do i send the check ?" "oh, here's my landlord's address. he takes all my money and i guess if he's bored buys me little riffled ankle socks so i can dance in the street"
00:17 mircea_popescu own your things. not just your bitcoin. all your things, i say.
00:17 sina I do
00:17 sina https://www.ausregistry.com.au/what-is-id-au/
00:17 mircea_popescu well so then reg a domain and use that.
00:17 sina I did!
00:17 mircea_popescu da fuck ?!
00:17 mircea_popescu you know, just because the brits.co.uk are fucktarded, doesn't change how domain names work.
00:19 sina mircea_popescu: if I had said my blog was sina.com.au would you have had same reaction?
00:19 mircea_popescu yep.
00:19 sina fair
00:19 sina too bad sina.com is a giant chinese search engine!
00:19 mircea_popescu it's what it is : a subdomain off a domain in a space run by fucktards who figure hey, "if this is all we sell it'll count"
00:19 mircea_popescu ya lol.
00:20 sina anyway if you hate it no need to link, like Isaid nothing is public facing there atm anyway
00:20 mircea_popescu ill link whatever you say ; but i'll bitch about some subclasses.
00:20 sina fair
00:20 mircea_popescu for-your-own-benefit (tm)
00:20 sina mircea_popescu: next q was where live, for me pls github.com/sinner-/mpfhf-python and github.com/sinner-mpfhf-golang
00:20 mircea_popescu k
00:21 mircea_popescu now trilema's linking to github, this is what i get for my sluttery.
00:21 sina the castle has cgit but it is behind the wall
00:21 ben_vulpes top kek
00:21 mircea_popescu sina suppose, for the sake of entirely idle argument going over things that could never happen irl, that in a week github comes up with a "code of conduct" and you get booted off it.
00:22 mircea_popescu will i have been made a sucker for your sake then ?
00:22 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: http://cascadianhacker.com/an-implementation-of-mircea-popescus-fabulous-hash-function
00:22 sina mircea_popescu: are you asking if that is the only place it exists other than my HDD? a: no
00:22 mircea_popescu no. i am asking what exactly must be your thought process to give away your work to a bunch of usg tarded spammers so they can then turn around and sell it.
00:23 mircea_popescu as if THEY had anything to do with it, any say in it, etcetera.
00:23 mircea_popescu "github presents -- black chix code. this is what's important. we'd know because be bamboozled 5mn sinas into giving us free shit!"
00:24 sina I guess it just doesn't bother me if anyone at all uses it
00:24 mircea_popescu no two bit us-run "company" should have the sort of power ~everyone unthinkingly gave twitter et all.
00:24 mircea_popescu sina yeah. and because mice don't bother elephant, elephant dies inexplicably of plague.
00:25 ben_vulpes sina: why the resistance to making a website?
00:25 sina also what's on there is just...how do I put it? hobby projects? stuff I do in my spare time
00:25 mircea_popescu cuz it's a) work and b) unexpected
00:25 mircea_popescu sina how's that change anything ?
00:25 sina I get paid to make stuff during work hours and that's not shared with anyone :P
00:25 mircea_popescu the problem isn't their per-unit value. the problem is their count ; and the unthinkingness.
00:25 sina ben_vulpes: there was one, but I never posted anything to it
00:26 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1668957 << not terrifically unexpected, no
00:26 a111 Logged on 2017-06-12 04:19 ben_vulpes: sina: sensible thing to do is make a genesis of your shit, stand up an mp-wp and post it on your blog
00:26 sina let me rephrase
00:26 sina you guys are literally the first and only people, ever, to actually care :P
00:27 mircea_popescu :p
00:27 ben_vulpes heh and i get the astonishment too. that it's so deep, and about the weirdest of shit!
00:27 ben_vulpes "you don't have a website?! linking to github?!"
00:27 mircea_popescu almost like a cult.
00:27 ben_vulpes it must sound so strange!
00:30 ben_vulpes sina: go impl is canonical?
00:30 ben_vulpes or mircea_popescu
00:30 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes both are. go and lisp.
00:30 ben_vulpes i mean which of his
00:31 ben_vulpes but yeah i caught that i got a new caftan! neato!
00:31 mircea_popescu go. sina did you ever get python to snuff also ?
00:31 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes lel
00:34 sina mircea_popescu: yes both python and go return identical hashes for stuff I tested
00:34 sina and I developed them in tandem
00:34 mircea_popescu alrighty then. so we get 3.
00:34 ben_vulpes hat trick!
00:35 sina has asciilifeform reviews the codes?
00:35 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1667973 << thios got forgotten!
00:35 a111 Logged on 2017-06-10 01:32 mircea_popescu: it should actually be "expand and screw r in s":
00:35 ben_vulpes aha!
00:35 mircea_popescu ah it was already in article somehow.
00:35 sina mircea_popescu: I didn't forget, I thought you updated the blogpost on the day to reflect that and I did it on my README too
00:36 mircea_popescu i think i was so ashamed of publishing bs originally that i just edited on the spot
00:36 mircea_popescu sina confirmed
00:36 sina mircea_en_shametown
00:37 mircea_popescu lmao
00:39 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function/ < rfc
00:40 sina missing a / http://github.com/sinner-mpfhf-golang
00:42 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2017/mps-fabulous-hash-function-and-its-family/ << new name for it also.
00:42 mircea_popescu sina fixed i think?
00:42 sina mircea_popescu: suggestion. "A third operation is the flipping of a number of bits in either S or R," should read "elements A or B" and make that operation generic
00:43 mircea_popescu but there are no other elements defined than S and R
00:43 mircea_popescu incidentally, ben_vulpes & other blog afficionados, check me out with the article renaming on the fly, yes ? and old name resolves and everything ? go me ok ? OK ?
00:43 sina yah, I just remember when implementing it I had to write out that sentence on notepad as A and B to wrap my head
00:44 sina but only a suggestion
00:44 mircea_popescu the great advantage of your work is that people can now just read the impl.
00:44 mircea_popescu to wrap head. and such a wide palette ~impossible for anyone to not find a language he speaks.
00:44 sina true
00:44 mircea_popescu aged 17 to 71
00:46 mircea_popescu if no more changes, shit left to do re mpfhf : a) do some proper profiling work, with timings etc. could make a great blog article. b) try and break it, like any hash. could make a bnunch of great blog articles (tried this, so and so, didn't work -- can do this 500 times).
00:46 sina "Once the position is larger than the size of M" how about "once all iterations are complete"
00:46 mircea_popescu "once all iterations are complete" means nothing in context ?
00:46 mircea_popescu the whole game is "define ALL your elements and then USE NOTHING BUT THE DEFINED ELEMENTS"
00:47 sina it does so
00:47 sina The function starts at position 0 in M and iterates over each bit in M
00:47 BingoBoingo http://qntra.net/2017/06/dead-alt-soros-no-longer-effective-in-protecting-daughter-from-truth/ << 4 alf

00:47 BingoBoingo too slow deedbutt
00:47 mircea_popescu sina what is the definition of "complete" ?
00:48 mircea_popescu what is the count of iterations that corresponds to your symbol "all" ?
00:48 sina for each bit of M, appropriate step has been completed
00:48 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: mp-wp is pretty neat
00:50 sina looks good to me
00:50 mircea_popescu this has been such a pleasant little gem. thanks!
00:50 sina it was a pleasure to work on!
00:50 asciilifeform did ben_vulpes ever get his to agree answerwise with the others?
00:51 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: aye

00:53 phf was bug in spec?
00:54 ben_vulpes phf: 2
00:54 phf hax
00:54 ben_vulpes bugs also in coad
00:54 phf some fiat shit right there

00:55 mircea_popescu is this hate ?
00:56 phf apparently it's called a "dis", african americans invented it in the 40s
00:56 sina hmm
00:56 mircea_popescu anyway -- thanks to the werkz we are now in a better position to find out if this thing even works.
00:56 sina I can't remember what this one was about http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-10#1668188
00:56 a111 Logged on 2017-06-10 04:08 sina: or is this a spec bug
00:56 mircea_popescu this + the ai learning thing, which i've not forgot about btw, will update it soonish.
00:57 mircea_popescu "sina: ok, so should I keep my screw implementation as is?" "mircea_popescu: yes."
01:07 mircea_popescu phf next you're going to come up with shade a la "the only reason it's fabulous is cuz it's ghey" and then ima get my disbaseball bat
01:13 phf humor so bad it's good, or is it
01:13 mircea_popescu the only reason it was funny is because it was GAY niggers that came up with it in the 40s!

01:39 ben_vulpes this go script screams
01:42 sina I like go
01:42 * sina ducks
~ 33 minutes ~
02:15 sina ben_vulpes: you write clojure no? I'd be interested to race golang vs functional jvm
02:17 ben_vulpes nah
02:17 ben_vulpes i only fuck with the jvm under duress
02:17 ben_vulpes or hint of riches
02:19 mircea_popescu so, sina , shall we give this gossipd of yours a go ?
02:19 ben_vulpes tangentially relatedly, i've been working from a cheapo ssd in this ancient once-gaming-rig i got for a song and holy shit does it kick the ass off the ssds in macbooks
02:20 sina mircea_popescu: sure.
02:21 ben_vulpes i had no idea how shit the tanium was
02:22 mircea_popescu sina ok, so terminal says python 2.6.5
02:22 deedbot http://trilema.com/2017/promising-and-promises/ << Trilema - Promising ; and promises.
02:22 mircea_popescu what now ?
02:22 mircea_popescu the above should plainly explain btw (for instance, via asciilifeform 's "beat the ai" game), why rng is absolutely required for sovereign entity to even in principle exist.
02:23 sina mircea_popescu: old man python hey? you should be able to clone the repo and run "python setup.py install" from inside the repo dir
02:23 sina the README explains all usage
02:24 mircea_popescu some assembly required huh. fair enough, lessee this readme then\
02:25 * mircea_popescu goes hmm what was it, github/sina- ? ends up with https://github.com/sina-/dota-hero-suggestion
02:25 sina github.com/sinner-
02:25 sina github.com/sinner-/gossipd
02:26 mircea_popescu git clone an virtualenv and stuff.
02:26 mircea_popescu well, this machine's not set up for such liftings.
02:28 sina mircea_popescu: would you be willing to ssh into another box where it's setup?
02:28 mircea_popescu sina prolly premature to hassle you with ah hey, that's an idea. sure.
02:28 mircea_popescu if only we had teh uci already ;/
02:29 sina ok hold pls
02:29 sina uci?

02:29 a111 134 results for "UCI", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=UCI
02:30 sina ah interesting I actually had a similar idea after reading abotu the ai stuff
02:30 mircea_popescu nooo ?
02:30 mircea_popescu :D
02:38 sina mircea_popescu: where are you atm? I booted in Frankfurt thinking you were in EU but just realised you're probly elsewhere :P
02:38 mircea_popescu costa rica. whart diff does it make ?

02:41 mircea_popescu suspiciously enough, ssh-keygen takes all of 5ms or some shit.
02:42 mircea_popescu sina wait i just realised i'm retarded lol. 1 sec

02:48 mircea_popescu 48:b6:50:73:bd:07:2c:58:ac:f5:68:bb:d1:50:63:1d ?
02:48 sina ye
02:49 mircea_popescu hey, im into... something. there's pretty red colored stuff.
02:49 * mircea_popescu goes back to readme to see wtf next.
02:50 sina yup. ok pls open another terminal, one to run the daemon and another to run the client
02:50 mircea_popescu gossipc just ends, is that intended ?
02:50 sina you can run gossipc -h
02:51 mircea_popescu aite, which peer do i add ?
02:51 sina so youcan add me as a peer with: gossipc --add-peer --name sina --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5556
02:52 sina my pubkey is here http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/FtYXs/?raw=true
02:52 mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/aSykI/?raw=true
02:54 sina mircea_popescu: ok, so then save my key somewhere onto the filesystem like /tmp/sina_exchange.pub and run: gossipc --set-peer-key --name sina -k /tmp/sina_exchange.pub
02:54 mircea_popescu so i saved it as hurr.txt and then gossipc -k hurr.txt, no anmswer
02:54 mircea_popescu ah
02:54 sina sorry the UX bit of it is still a tad clunky
02:54 mircea_popescu also no answer.
02:55 sina all good.
02:55 mircea_popescu aite.
02:55 mircea_popescu so where do i see messages ? send ?
02:55 mircea_popescu i got a RECV: empty line
02:55 sina ah, fuck
02:56 sina some kind of bug! wtf!
02:56 sina hold pls
02:56 mircea_popescu don't sweat it.
02:56 mircea_popescu i typed "hurr ?" into the demon window, though i suspect that's not intended usage
02:56 sina nope
02:56 sina you can ctrl-c the daemon and I will tell you when to restart
02:57 mircea_popescu it can just go.
02:57 mircea_popescu 99% cpu too, nice handiwork there :D
02:57 mircea_popescu o look, and systemd...
03:01 sina grewdfwe
03:01 mircea_popescu ?
03:01 mircea_popescu o hey, still empty :D
03:01 sina heh
03:02 mircea_popescu aite listen don't stress out, we'll try this again later.
03:02 sina yeah, I'll let you know when I have hunted down wtf is going on
03:02 sina considering this is working on an identical setup locall
03:03 mircea_popescu heh, sounds exactly like why man made computer in the first place.
~ 20 minutes ~
03:24 sina heh ffs!
03:24 sina I was missing the final "-" of your pubkey footer
03:24 mircea_popescu o.O
03:24 sina feel free to hop back on
03:25 mircea_popescu got some other stuff going right now, so not a good time, but tomorrow or such ?
03:25 sina sure
03:34 sina ok added some error handling to stop that issue in future, how annoyin
03:36 mircea_popescu and so the little guy grew...
03:36 mircea_popescu sina can you dump pcap of session going ?
03:36 sina there's no session! :P
03:36 mircea_popescu lol i see!
03:36 sina http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675621
03:36 a111 Logged on 2017-06-28 02:15 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675565 << the problem with the concept of a "session" is that it attempts to link machine state to world state. this is a very tenuous proposition, and the fundamental reason why sessionificatyion of (the correctly designed) stateless http protocol failed for 30 years straight and will continue to fail forever.
03:37 mircea_popescu sina can you dump pcap of two of these talking ?
03:37 sina yesr
03:39 mircea_popescu also, how do you feel about replacing your db dependency with encrypted-flatfile instead ?
03:41 sina mircea_popescu: I feel fine about reducing everything once the concept is OK'd
03:41 sina can change tcp for udp, can change sql for flatfile, can change python for syslang
03:41 mircea_popescu the two main problems are the db and the rsa import as it stands.
03:42 sina happy to swap out the RSA lib if one can be proposed
03:42 mircea_popescu we'll see what alf makes for minigame
03:42 sina I just googled "small RSA lib" and tomcrypt was one that had python bindings out of the box
03:49 mircea_popescu sina so you're considering making offer for ai learning hosting ?
03:51 sina mircea_popescu: I dunno. all I can say is when I was reading the ai logs, and you mentioned irc repl, I was thinking about how it could be implemented
03:51 sina today is Fri here, bout to return to work in a few days, so free time will be curtailed
03:52 mircea_popescu hey, teh republic is made of free men.
03:52 sina mircea_popescu: what do you want to see ideally? just a lisp repl with irc interface?
03:52 sina where do I upload this pcap
03:52 mircea_popescu wotpaste ?
03:53 mircea_popescu and i was talking specifically about the ai learning thing, http://trilema.com/2017/the-bitcoin-learning-tournament/
03:53 mircea_popescu i intend to hire someone to do the official run, see.
03:53 sina mircea_popescu: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ZXfR3/?raw=true base64 encoded because PCAPs are binary, so pls base64 decode first
03:53 mircea_popescu ty
03:54 sina mircea_popescu: FYI that is a bunch of send and recv from 2 peers, (1 on port 5555, other on port 5556) on the same network interface (127.0.0.1) ...it's not a single "session"
03:54 sina I did look at the learning tournament blog previously but I couldn't really grok it
03:55 mircea_popescu obviously not. just, you realise, it's a republican artefact, "1st pcap of an early gossipd attempt"
03:55 mircea_popescu well, basically a bunch of people (ideally) will write ai bots, and solmeone will have to run their tournament.
03:57 mircea_popescu sina ftr, the lisp repl with irc interface was already built ; her name is candi_lustt
03:59 mircea_popescu !!up candi_lustt
03:59 deedbot candi_lustt voiced for 30 minutes.
03:59 mircea_popescu candi_lustt (+ 2 3)
03:59 mircea_popescu oh what was it
03:59 mircea_popescu !W (+ 2 3)
03:59 candi_lustt mircea_popescu: 5
03:59 sina nice
03:59 sina so can you untangle these for me as I'm a little confused
03:59 sina UCI ?
03:59 sina ai thing?
03:59 mircea_popescu universal computing interface.
04:00 sina I got that from the logsearch link you put, but http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-12#1582081 had me confused
04:00 a111 Logged on 2016-12-12 15:24 Framedragger: uci == universal computing interface? something something infrastructure on demand at your irc fingertips, right (ironically google is failing me)
04:00 mircea_popescu see the early discussion re it in the log, http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=UCI it's well described
04:00 mircea_popescu sina ah ok. yeah that's the idea.
04:02 sina mircea_popescu: so is UCI just candi_lustt + an interface you can pay for resources via?
04:03 mircea_popescu nah. candi_lustt is a by hand, limited implementation of something that could be deemed uci in the sense of the donkey-powered shower.
04:03 sina have you ever heard of seccomp?
04:03 mircea_popescu i have.
04:03 sina it's a linux kernel feature you can use to limit which syscalls a program has access to...the original version of seccomp allowed only read()/write()/exit() syscalls
04:04 sina it was implemented for this CPUShare concept
04:04 mircea_popescu myeah. all sorts of these.
04:04 sina so people could sell CPU cycles, in a pretty hard sandbox, that only offered those 3 syscalls
04:04 sina is that the same kind of idea?
04:05 sina I can actually feel asciilifeform being angry at me in the future already
04:05 mircea_popescu lol. it's... somewhjat similar i guess
04:06 sina http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-02#1650884
04:06 a111 Logged on 2017-05-02 15:39 mircea_popescu: could I do something like !$mirror <url> 5 so as to get it to spin up 5 separate instances, load url, unpack it and serve ?
04:07 mircea_popescu that is a fine example. or, you know, calculate the mpfhf over the gutenberg collection.
04:07 mircea_popescu or whatever, hashing, packeting, anything and everything.
04:07 sina hmm ok so there is an interesting technology I have worked on
04:08 mircea_popescu there is ?
04:09 sina you've probably heard of Amazon S3, it's an object store with REST API, so it responds to primitives GET/HEAD/PUT/DELETE/POST ...there is an equivalent open source project part of OpenStack called Swift. some people I know worked on a sandbox that only accepts input on stdin and writes to stdout, and wrotesome middleware for swift so you can for example upload a datset and compute on it and get the result
04:09 sina back
04:09 sina http://www.zerovm.org/zerocloud.html
04:09 mircea_popescu i think we even used them at some point.
04:09 mircea_popescu interesting. what was the problem with it ?
04:09 sina sorry, them being?
04:09 mircea_popescu amazon s3s
04:09 sina mircea_popescu: no problem with it, just nobody wants this!
04:09 mircea_popescu lol!
04:10 sina I rant about it to my boss at least once a week
04:10 mircea_popescu seems like you found a new home!
04:11 sina mircea_popescu: when the people I know first wrote ZeroVM it was like 2012 or so, and at the time I was working at a startup you may recall that. and I told everyone we shoudl get involved, was ignored, then ZeroVM got "acquihired" by Rackspace
04:11 sina and since then the project has been stealth or just stagnant
04:11 mircea_popescu kinda how this stuff works.
04:11 sina no commits to zerovm github since 2015 same for zerocloud middleware for swift :(
04:12 sina anyway, it would be trivial to place an irc gateway in front of that
04:12 mircea_popescu there's a management/pricing segment too
04:12 sina elaborate?
04:12 mircea_popescu which depends on deedbot payments, which reminds me... how's that going trinque ?
04:12 mircea_popescu sina the idea is for me to go "do this" and for it to go "here's your bill sir"
04:13 mircea_popescu then all the ad-hoc uci impls doing full disk encryption for maerks could be actually useful.
04:13 mircea_popescu nobody cared what their shitty data was, anyway.
04:13 sina fde wouldn't have protected them
04:13 sina backups would have!
04:14 mircea_popescu nono, the attack consists of encryption.
04:14 sina oh LOL
04:14 sina you mean, the ransomware bot shoudl have been UCI bots? haha
04:14 mircea_popescu see ?
04:14 mircea_popescu yep.
04:14 mircea_popescu there's two kinds of computers : public, and private. everyone else's computers are public, and by public i simply mean, not theirs.
04:15 sina so what's wrong with candi_lustt for this role? it just needs a billing thingo?
04:15 mircea_popescu gotta put a price tag on this whole "we're too lazy to do security"
04:15 mircea_popescu sina it doesn't, for instance, spin up new ones.
04:15 mircea_popescu nor does it... acquire them.
04:15 sina hahahaha
04:15 mircea_popescu well ?
04:15 sina technically both of those are just pieces of code you'd write though
04:15 mircea_popescu yes.
04:16 mircea_popescu technically.
04:16 sina so then?
04:16 sina ah
04:16 mircea_popescu so then i've not written them lol.
04:17 sina so this thing literally exists on the market today and its fucking cheap for example to use Amazon Lambda...is the reason you want your own basically boil down to 1. no irc gw 2. not tmsr?
04:17 mircea_popescu sina no. 1. no "rules of conduct" 2. no usg / fiat "sovereign" interdictability.
04:18 mircea_popescu this thing exists to put an end to non-tmsr computing, give or take.
04:18 sina well someone like me could write software to do these things but the deployment would need to be outside of jurisdiction, hard for me as an AU citizen
04:18 sina you need to be Eastern European or Chinese
04:19 mircea_popescu let them self-deploy.
04:19 sina so basically it's just a pay to play botnet?
04:19 mircea_popescu bitcoin+gossipd+uci -> pretty much time to say goodnight.
04:19 mircea_popescu i suppose you could say that.
04:19 mircea_popescu though i've yet to see a good botnet.
04:20 sina good being defined as?
04:20 mircea_popescu the typical botnet is what, a bunch of fridges sending ntp requests ?
04:21 mircea_popescu people's understanding of "botnet" goes as far as the very deliberate automattic wp hole, for isntance.
04:21 sina sure, but that is largely a lack of originality in the types of commands executed, but the botnet itself can execute whatever
04:21 mircea_popescu i suppose.
04:21 sina when I was a bit younger I worked for managed hosting company
04:21 mircea_popescu dunno how much useful anything can a windows box execute, but for the sake of argument
04:21 sina customer sites used to get scanned/pwned/php shell uploaded on the regular
04:22 sina php shell was usually <100 lines of base64 encoded thing that'd shell out to whatever you wanted
04:22 mircea_popescu i'm sure. trilema daily log is 1mn lines of crap.
04:22 mircea_popescu "trying things"
04:22 sina yeh exactly
04:22 mircea_popescu among them, things from you know, 1997
04:22 mircea_popescu "dis most popular guestbook php!"
04:23 sina costs nothing to check for existence of shit software compared to payoff :P
04:23 mircea_popescu yeah.
04:23 mircea_popescu as the saying went, "poll or get lost" hm
04:23 sina brb
04:30 sina hmmm
04:30 sina well it's certainly an interesting concept
04:30 mircea_popescu do we do anything else ?
04:30 sina seriously hanging here is the least bored I ever am
04:30 mircea_popescu makes one feel.... alive, huh.
04:31 sina how can I explain it
04:31 sina ok
04:31 sina day to day, everything is postmodernism. any idea you have, someone did it. probably better than you. in fact, one example of that is MPex
04:32 sina an idea I had, then I saw someone had done it way better than my idea
04:32 sina but tmsr in general, everything that anyone has done sucks and is to be torn down and rebuilt in some quirky fashion
04:32 sina lots of fertile ground for funtimes
04:32 mircea_popescu word.
04:34 mircea_popescu people are liek "oh, mp can't be rich & powerful because rich & powerful people don't irc". totally, because it is really the goal of my life as well as everyone reasonable to be as rich and powerful as trump, so as to live the great life of idiots trying to insert cathetercam up your dick as you're trying to pee
04:34 mircea_popescu "FOR THE DEMOCRACY! PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO LOOK UP YOUR BLADDER!"
04:35 mircea_popescu i suppose i'm missing out on a lot of watching four movies at once through pay per view.
04:37 sina mircea_poorpescu
04:38 mircea_popescu ahahaha
04:38 sina that's what they call you mate
04:38 mircea_popescu o, really ?
04:38 sina yep
04:38 sina :D
04:38 mircea_popescu pretty great name fuckupery, at that.
04:42 sina mircea_popescu: earlier you said "spin up new ones"
04:42 mircea_popescu i did,
04:43 sina is a "new one" a full host, i.e. CPU/RAM/HDD/public IP?
04:43 mircea_popescu it can be whatever no ?
04:43 sina well it depends right?
04:43 sina !mirror <url> 5
04:43 sina needs 5 public IPs
04:43 mircea_popescu is a new child an athlete artist intellectual cook ?
04:43 mircea_popescu well... ideally atleast some are each
04:43 sina !sha256 <set of document URLs>
04:43 sina doesnt
04:43 mircea_popescu right.
04:44 sina but both might spin up 5 "new ones" to do the task
04:44 mircea_popescu ok ?
04:44 sina I'm just trying to envision what a "one" is
04:45 mircea_popescu some kind of physical item
04:46 sina I get the feeling that the task would be much simpler if there was only 1 public IP for the whoel system where you could retrieve the results of whatever "job" you triggered
04:46 mircea_popescu comms over gossipd
04:47 sina that'd be much more difficult given your requirement for manual peer introduction?
04:48 sina I mean imagine you have autonomous "acquisition" of ndoes
04:48 mircea_popescu ah, no, looky : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675630
04:48 a111 Logged on 2017-06-28 02:18 mircea_popescu: the only way for A and B to be introduced, outside of the grandfatherly, A fucks B and they exchange bits of paper, is C tells A about B and B about A.
04:49 sina ah right
04:49 mircea_popescu after all, you did get my key from... your irc client yes ?
04:49 sina I did but in my mind that falls more under A fucks B
04:50 mircea_popescu why ?
04:50 sina well it wasn't bits of paper, but wotpaste URLs are not so different?
04:50 mircea_popescu we didn't fuck!
04:50 sina DIDNT WE
04:50 mircea_popescu you just... BLEW my mind~!
04:51 sina so in your way of thinking, B is irc.freenode.net?
04:51 sina +wotpaste?
04:51 mircea_popescu could be. if it were how'd you know.
04:52 sina I guess I was thinking of C tells A
04:52 mircea_popescu a yes, C not b.
04:53 sina as B has fucked C and A and exchange paper with both of them
04:53 sina transitive peer recognition through trusting the fucker
04:53 mircea_popescu i have no idea why this is confusing
04:54 sina it's because you have an implicit mental model of the thing and years of log context
04:54 sina and I am basically just grokking the thing less than a week ago
04:54 mircea_popescu a could be!
04:55 ben_vulpes also worth mentioning the feedback loop where a and c get the wrong keys somehow and go talk to b about it
04:55 mircea_popescu now look : in situation 1, where bricktop decided to introduce me to you, and you do me, for which purpose he sent you some wotpaste and me similarily
04:55 mircea_popescu and situation 2 where i sent you it via irc, how do you distinguish ?
04:55 sina "you do me" *me dies*
04:56 sina good question
04:56 sina in situation 1, I assume there is no bricktop and we exchange wotpaste directly
04:56 mircea_popescu "directly"
04:56 sina but I guess you are assuming you'd never add a rando peasant
04:56 mircea_popescu gotta separate your vision from the shit on the glasses.
04:57 mircea_popescu are you kidding, i added rando peasant with my cock last week
05:02 sina I think this is a much more interesting idea than the IRC bot I was goign to make that plays chess
05:03 sina instead, IRC bot which accepts any shell command, tracks CPU time, mem used, block and network IO consumed and presents a bill
05:05 ben_vulpes if it runs any shell command, what's to keep it from getting at your monitor?
05:05 ben_vulpes http://cascadianhacker.com/an-implementation-of-mircea-popescus-fabulous-hash-function << updated
05:05 sina ben_vulpes: monitor?
05:05 sina oh the thing tracking billing?
05:05 ben_vulpes thing as what tracks cpu time etc
05:06 ben_vulpes cl runs 3-4x longer than the go impl after attending to all the compiler notes i can; probably need a pointer on profiling common lisp code to squeeze much more out of it
05:06 ben_vulpes or, a different set of eyes.
05:06 sina you can run the command in a sandbox and track it with cgroups in linux
05:07 sina once long ago, I ran a tor hidden service that allowed anyone to execute any command they liked on it, as a deanonymisation challenge
05:08 sina nobody could ever deanon it even though they had shell access
05:08 sina (because of the sandbox techniques)
05:08 ben_vulpes some not-root root-alike?
05:08 sina grsec chroot sandbox + linux network namespaces
05:09 sina https://github.com/sinner-/hidden-nginx
05:09 mircea_popescu sina sounds interesting as a prototype at any rate.
05:09 sina mircea_popescu: it was more to prove the point at the time that Ulbricht was a numpty who couldn't secure his own ass
05:10 mircea_popescu paging phf for ben_vulpes 's needs
05:10 mircea_popescu sina wait, what ?
05:11 ben_vulpes lol sina he got nabbed by insiders and physical tails what are you on about
05:12 sina several times during operation he exposed the public IP of the hs
05:12 sina due to shit sandboxing
05:12 sina "oh apache listen on 127.0.0.1 now I am secure"
05:12 mircea_popescu nfi what you folks are discussing. i meant, the metering irc bot would be interesting.
05:12 sina ah yep, sorry I think we are one branch further down the tree
05:13 * ben_vulpes off, robosprinklers pointed out the time and suddenly v. tired
05:13 mircea_popescu now, a bunch of all-talk wedidits couldn't do whatever medium diff task. ok. how's this relate to silk road dood ?
05:14 sina mircea_popescu: it was trying to prove at the time, that you could construct system in such a way that it can't expose its own info by amateur fuckups
05:15 mircea_popescu ok ?
05:15 sina which Ulbricht had done several times
05:15 sina is all
05:15 mircea_popescu but... he wouldn't have used it.
05:16 sina no, it certainly seems he wouldn't have :P
05:16 mircea_popescu a ok then. that was the hair lol.
05:17 sina at the time I was v interested in tor hs, before it became completely obvious that GCHQ/NSA had ability to look across the whole onion, and I just wanted to demonstrate hey it is actually possible to not ride your bike into the side of the bus
05:17 sina "with this one simple trick" :P
05:17 mircea_popescu the thing sucked a lot of naive youth time that way.
05:18 mircea_popescu take Framedragger for instance.
05:18 sina anyway, this was all just to answer ben_vulpes question about how you can make sure the "job" doesn't fuck with its billing supervisor
05:19 sina same sandboxing techniques can be used to go a long way
05:19 mircea_popescu on the basis of its record of accomplishments it's not even directly obvious if it was made by usg to orange revolution random shitholes, or rather to mentally swamp the not-entirely-dim lightbulbs in its own collegiate stables.
05:19 sina I am sure asciilifeform would disagree of course, that it is remotely possible to ever secure anything :P
05:19 sina mircea_popescu: *el paso theme song* why not both?
05:19 mircea_popescu having the item running can't hurt in any case. if it gets owned, you learn a lesson. if it doesn't, it ... works.
05:20 mircea_popescu and also fries!

11:58 asciilifeform after the demise of cpu mining, ddos is afaik the only remaining
11:58 mircea_popescu aha.
12:01 asciilifeform sina, mircea_popescu, et al : pretty interesting thread.
12:02 mircea_popescu i thought so too!
12:02 asciilifeform i'ma bake an ada mphashtron also. but currently in 'one piece on conveyor at a time' mode.
12:02 asciilifeform in the interest of actually finishing things.
12:03 mircea_popescu no rush.
12:03 asciilifeform ( how long we've been stuck with the kochtron, after knowing what it is ! disgraceful )
12:04 mircea_popescu asciilifeform re "how many activities" -- it's not so clear to me, and moreover the consensus of hardware farmers (as opposed to coders) is that there's not much reason this absolutely should be the case, other than, to quote, "largely a lack of originality in the types of commands executed".
12:04 mircea_popescu after all, your current machine flickers at 3GHz.
12:05 asciilifeform that ain't the type of flicker contemplated
12:05 mircea_popescu yes but now we're down the tree discussing types of flicker.
12:05 asciilifeform chumpnet nodes randomly disappear (often with permanent loss of contents)
12:05 mircea_popescu lubby!
12:05 asciilifeform there is not ( and probably provably cannot be ) a 'luby for computation'
12:05 mircea_popescu the whole point is -- that it's not clear to me this is an unaproachable limit.
12:06 mircea_popescu this in itself does not make it approachable.
12:06 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amusingly the whole fucking point of "malleable encryption" is ~give or take to make lubby for computation.
12:06 asciilifeform well yes
12:06 asciilifeform the homomorphism derpism
12:07 mircea_popescu hey, it wouldn't be a sour grape if it could be had.
12:07 asciilifeform which is a comical pit of usgology, not a single item in the 'toolbox' actually works as described, or is based on anything other than wishful thinking
12:07 * asciilifeform worked in this very racket for a spell, ended up quitting in disgust
12:09 mircea_popescu anyway. even if you get to keep data but not computation, may be enough.
12:09 asciilifeform now : certain processes that divide into arbitraily many - and, importantly, ~arbitrarily fungible~ slices -- are good fits for chumpnet
12:09 * ben_vulpes entertained a sales pitch from a seller with some relevant snake oil recently
12:09 mircea_popescu anything good ?
12:09 asciilifeform ddos is one example, in the sense where it absolutely does not matter if a ~particular~ packet of liquishit gets sent or not
12:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform all your machine ever does is push pop and mult.
12:09 ben_vulpes "the guys down the office keep giving us hardons with the homomorphic encryption stuff but every time we sit down to discuss numbers it turns out to be computationally infeasible so uh here's this rest layer over postgres so you don't have to touch the dirty dirty phone numbers yourselves"
12:10 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes you know this is strangely how "artificial intelligence" as well as "quantum computing" work out ?
12:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: but observe, it pushes and pops in realtime and predictably.
12:10 mircea_popescu ustech.
12:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform but you got ecc ram. why ?
12:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ever use a box over a 'martian' connection, that drops, say, 90% of packets
12:10 mircea_popescu i actually have software for that!
12:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: to turn 99.99 into 999999
12:10 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: quite aware
12:11 mircea_popescu turns out -- perfectly usuable.
12:11 ben_vulpes to quote #programmer-therapy: "i just sat clicking at a recaptcha for five minutes before it would accept that i'm human."
12:11 mircea_popescu why would they do that ?!
12:11 ben_vulpes learned helplessness
12:12 mircea_popescu well, at least there's (11.5/2)% or so black chicks among them yes ?
12:12 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: slow links are tolerable, and can be abstracted over ( consider how 'vi' came to exist, for instance. ) data loss, however, is harder to swallow
12:12 mircea_popescu but lubby!
12:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i was specifically speaking of vi :)
12:13 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: nah, but they make up for it with genderswappers
12:13 mircea_popescu this is how conversations go -- if you're talking to alf, he's gonna mention it himself ; if talking to anyone else, you hit them over the head with it.
12:13 ben_vulpes fungible minoridees dontchaknow
12:13 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes oh right right, fucking two midgets ~= fucking one swede. i forgot.
12:13 shinohai If a black mayogendered tgirl writes code, will the universe implode?
12:14 mircea_popescu ideally should be code about a list of dota characters.
12:14 ben_vulpes shinohai: they don't make keyboards for fingers that large
12:14 mircea_popescu lardge
12:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fwiw i've been stabbing at the 1024 chickens thing since 2006 or so
12:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you're lucky, some've been trying since 1955.
12:14 asciilifeform it may be 'possible if you adjust your expectations'
12:14 mircea_popescu kinda my notion also.
12:15 asciilifeform for instance, bitcoin is an illustration of what you can do if you entirely forget about 'real time'
12:15 asciilifeform but nobody's running, e.g., shells, on top of bitcoin.
12:15 asciilifeform or irc.
12:15 mircea_popescu and for that matter -- bitcoin is computed by a) 1024 flickering nodes that b) lose data or processing all the time.
12:15 asciilifeform ( recall my 'irc over bitcoin' gedankenexperiment article )
12:15 mircea_popescu definitionally, "what could you possibly do with a fridgenet???" "bitcoin"
12:16 asciilifeform the ethertards illustrate the irresistible monkey lure of 'shell over bitcoin'
12:16 shinohai Mine ethereum for scam ICO's of course.
12:16 mircea_popescu the key elements are a) specify a quanta and b) let them either get to it or not. some will.
12:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the principal boojum is not-being-transparent-to-enemy
12:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform a shell is an artefact of technology, like say the "eingeer's" coal shovel.
12:16 mircea_popescu not a fundamental.
12:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, there is that. but... at least PARTS of bitcoin are not.
12:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'shell' used here in the general sense of 'apparatus that spits out responses to button presses in approx. psychological-realtime'
12:17 mircea_popescu "engineer's" coal shovel. ie, back when engineer was dude driving steam engine.
12:17 asciilifeform well yes
12:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes. even so.
12:18 mircea_popescu honestly, i expect the unix "Shell" is very much "poor man's ai". specifically "we can't get it to laugh at your jokes or suck your cock, but here's the best we can do, it's almost as if you're talking to it"
12:18 mircea_popescu i have ~no expectation for machine to entertain me. all i expect is for it to do work.
12:18 trinque shell's all wrong; you have no idea when you're getting a response in chickennet
12:18 mircea_popescu trinque harem's same way.
12:19 trinque async is always way easier to manage
12:19 trinque also have to be able to verify responses yourself
12:19 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if you don't need real time response, or monotonicity ( you made a change and it stays made , instead of randomly reverting itself like fart in the wind ) then existing botnet is more or less what you want.
12:19 asciilifeform runs N copies of $payload, at random times, in random machines, etc.
12:20 asciilifeform incidentally the 'pass around the latest rsa-signed payload from master' is sop there.
12:20 mircea_popescu yes, but lot of room for improvement.
12:20 mircea_popescu much like "existing isp is pretty much what you want", except not.
12:21 asciilifeform it isn't clear to asciilifeform how much 'room for improvement' there is, unless one were to cough up solutions to a number of unsolved ( and possibly unsolvable ) mathematical boojums

12:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, but this also means you get secure sub 10k devices.
12:32 asciilifeform they gotta be <$10k ~in the aggregate~ , for this syllogism
12:33 asciilifeform ( all items breakable by particular $0day are to be treated as 'one device' )
12:33 mircea_popescu sort-of how "the improved technology" of us army makes most countries immune to it. "what, you're gonna blow a 5mn tomahawk to destroy this here 20k hangar ? bwahahaha go right ahead, the chinese give 50k in cash rebates for each destroyed hangar they rebuild cuz you tomahawked."
12:34 mircea_popescu and i'm not even fucking kidding, you.actually.get.cash.rebates.
12:34 asciilifeform '50k bullets', if useful at all, are only so as 'fleet in being' -- 'damocle's sword could Smite You Any Day Of The Week' etc
12:34 mircea_popescu like hookers exactly.
12:34 mircea_popescu asciilifeform problem is, nobody cares.
12:35 asciilifeform at the point when nobody cares, you're done, like the siphonariae of byzantium
12:35 asciilifeform ( which iirc the turks did not even bother to pick up and use )
12:35 mircea_popescu this is a very typical ustardian headroach, deliberately educated into their brains like those african tribes with the flattened skulls.
12:35 mircea_popescu "oh, gotta worry! oh, gotta be careful!" bitch... i dun care.
12:35 mircea_popescu "you have to plan for your future" "how about your daugther plans for parenthood"
12:37 asciilifeform the wunderwaffen, when it works, works exactly like the auschwitz guard's machinegun - 'can't shoot all of the prisoners, but can shoot any particular in 1 go'. and fails in exactly same gametheoretical way.
12:38 asciilifeform ( see the old treblinka thread )
12:39 mircea_popescu point remains -- "the only available 0day costs > 100k" is a legitimate specification-of-security.\
12:40 mircea_popescu "do not put over $x in aggregate on this system" is pretty much the only way you'd do it anyway.
12:40 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: mnope. how about 'the only 0day is an asteroid'
12:40 asciilifeform that's the spec for ffa, for instance.
12:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so your car has a special indicator, binary, E/F ?
12:40 mircea_popescu goes from full to empty in a yard and then it stops the next yard ?
12:40 asciilifeform i dun follow
12:41 asciilifeform 'secure' is a binary.
12:41 mircea_popescu just like tank fillness is binary, right ? "is it full or isn;'t it"
12:41 asciilifeform either system accepts an unanticipated input and produces unanticipated rape, or it does not.
12:41 mircea_popescu in practice, "what's this tank worth" doesn't depend on "there is NO ARROW THAT COULD PIERCE THIS SHIELD!!!" nonsense.
12:41 asciilifeform and before you do, or anybody mentions godel, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-31#1663960
12:41 a111 Logged on 2017-05-31 16:28 asciilifeform: and if someone wants to mention godel etc -- ethical engineer MAY NOT cite godel, EVER, just as a police detective MAY NOT cite the supernatural and admit a hypothesis of miraculous theft from a safe
12:42 asciilifeform the duty of engineer is to ignore godel. like soldier's is to ignore death.
12:42 mircea_popescu every tank can be flattened, and yet i can make comparative judgements re tiger vs mathilde.
12:42 asciilifeform again no analogy from physical objects is suitable here.
12:42 asciilifeform because we are discussing an ideal object.
12:42 asciilifeform like theorem.
12:43 asciilifeform there are no gradations in validity of theorem.
12:43 mircea_popescu in fact, no medicine yet devised bestows endless life as a young man ; and yet i can say sulfmetoxazole better for gonorhea than cough syrup.
12:43 asciilifeform no physical beams of steel to fatigue, in theorem.
12:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there are in fact gradations of validity in theorem, and you use them daily.
12:43 asciilifeform nope. 'gradated' theorems are called 'conjectures' instead.
12:43 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677384 << graded

12:43 asciilifeform conjecture!
12:44 asciilifeform these live, and die.
12:44 asciilifeform or turn into theorems
12:44 mircea_popescu oooo, that's what it was! check you out, YOU introduced the word theorem to describe what we were discussing, and then conveniently YOU point out YOU used the wrong word ?
12:44 mircea_popescu tsk tsk. is this a 0 day being sold here ?
12:44 asciilifeform 'probably provably' == 'conjecture'
12:44 asciilifeform 'sqrt(2) is irrational' -- theorem
12:44 mircea_popescu in this case <asciilifeform> like theorem. is entirely spurious non-contribution to teh discussion.
12:45 mircea_popescu because no, by your own lights within five minutes, NOT "like theorem". unlike theorem.
12:45 mircea_popescu like "in practice", ie like conjecture.
12:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: didja read the beginning, say, of ffa. there's a proof of correctness for the adder, for instance.
12:45 asciilifeform ( tableau proof )
12:45 mircea_popescu so ?
12:45 asciilifeform so motherfucking theorem.
12:45 mircea_popescu the ~only way to specify the security of a certain, definite, given system is still "good for up to $x btc"
12:46 mircea_popescu which makes the "0 days cost X" a legitimate statement of the ~security~ of a system.
12:46 mircea_popescu which is what we were talking aboot.
12:46 asciilifeform given that the system includes a physical component, this is reasonable
12:46 asciilifeform like 'bridge is good for T tonnes of tank'
12:46 mircea_popescu what system exists without physical component ? something running on uci ?
12:47 mircea_popescu i know of no other thing that'd make the cut
12:47 asciilifeform well this is the mega-question of our time neh
12:47 asciilifeform to what extent can ideal object (proggy) be conceptually cut from the physical 'mortal soil'
12:47 mircea_popescu i suppose so. but eg "power diff analysis" very much "leverage of the thingness of item"
12:47 asciilifeform aha!
12:48 asciilifeform speaking of which, i've been wanting to discuss 'simplest cpu' for a while.
12:48 mircea_popescu go right ahead, i'm having a sammich.
12:48 asciilifeform there exists ( in the sense where asciilifeform thought of it, but then went to dig in the dusty libraries and discovered ancient tomes ) a thing called 'tta'
12:49 asciilifeform 'transport triggered architecture'
12:49 asciilifeform idea is, 'cpu' that only knows how to do 1 thing:
12:49 asciilifeform instructions consist of, say, pairs of 64bit words
12:49 asciilifeform word A is 'source' and B is 'destination'
12:50 asciilifeform cpu reads from source (which can be a slow device, it waits for readysignal) and writes (ditto) to B.
12:50 asciilifeform the current instruction ptr is, e.g., address 0.
12:50 asciilifeform all other operations exist in the form of devices that hang off this bus, right next to the memory
12:50 asciilifeform so for instance if you want to load in a constant somewhere, you gotta read it from the constanttron (which is some range of addrs)
12:51 asciilifeform so adder, multer, etc, etc all exist simply as devices that hang from 1 set of wires.
12:51 asciilifeform this scheme is interesting for strictly 1 reason :
12:51 asciilifeform you can make this out of discrete logic.
12:52 asciilifeform without worrying about path lengths, delays.
12:52 mircea_popescu it sounded like signal processor at first, but then it kinda went bent. wouldn't this be damned slow ?
12:52 asciilifeform the quick sub-devices will run quickly, the slow-slowly.
12:53 mircea_popescu the one thing that comes to mind is that the correct approach is for all devices hanging off bus to always run, so that when cpu gets 0xaa 0xbb then the mult mults, the adder adds, and nobody knows WHICH of them the processor peeked for the result.
12:53 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: well yes !
12:53 asciilifeform is the point.
12:53 mircea_popescu this would be automatic-constant-time cpu, run any software you want.
12:53 mircea_popescu aha.
12:53 asciilifeform naturally they 'always run'
12:53 asciilifeform and you can likewise 'chain' the 'cpus' with ~0 effort.
12:54 mircea_popescu well, tree them.
12:54 asciilifeform plug'em like children's blocks
12:54 mircea_popescu the compiler for arbitrary this arch would be one helluva piece of gnarl.
12:54 asciilifeform not necessarily.
12:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not "naturally" they always run, since "ready signals" were mentioned.
12:55 mircea_popescu i'd prefer it if this had no out band signalling. at all.
12:55 asciilifeform 'ready signals' are how you finesse the problem of subcomponents of different speeds.
12:55 mircea_popescu which is why my mind went to "would run slow" : cpu clock is largest-hanger-clock + 1
12:55 asciilifeform it simply means 'if yer trying to read from me, you gotta wait or go do something else for a spell'
12:55 asciilifeform 'want to write to me? wait a bit'
12:55 mircea_popescu yes but this then leaks most of the gains
12:55 asciilifeform the gain is the minimality of the hardware.
12:56 asciilifeform could make nsa-free cpu out of stock ecl logic, a few dozen ics.
12:56 mircea_popescu the real gain is if this thing could be signal-less
12:56 asciilifeform and run at ~modern capacities.
12:56 mircea_popescu this sounds like engineer problem, really. make the multer same speed as adder.
12:57 mircea_popescu "but how ?" "give it cancer wtf do i care."
12:57 asciilifeform it is pretty easy to give the fast devices cancer and make'em wait for the slow.
12:57 asciilifeform this gives you cpu from 1960s soviet comp
12:57 asciilifeform 1kHz
12:57 asciilifeform because some slow ops are veeeery sloow
12:57 asciilifeform (e.g. disk)
12:57 asciilifeform as in, 3 orders of magnitude slower than others.
12:58 mircea_popescu myeah.
12:58 mircea_popescu perhaps better solutions also available.
12:59 trinque for the slower cogitaters trying to keep up, this guy has two registers? operations hanging off the executor read from these?
12:59 asciilifeform trinque: elaborate?
12:59 mircea_popescu trinque yes. asciilifeform he's trying to visualize how the damned thing talks to the world.
13:00 trinque where is ADD getting its terms to add.
13:00 mircea_popescu basically it's a signal processor someone dropped on the floor.
13:00 asciilifeform the traditional scheme is that a read happens when the thing being read drops its busy line; and a write begins when when the 'victim' drops his busy signal, and ends when he drops it again after raising.
13:00 mircea_popescu none of that. just poll at fixed speed. that is the clock.
13:01 mircea_popescu 1khz or 1thz, whatever you can get the hardware to do.
13:01 asciilifeform you then run at the disk's 1khz.
13:01 asciilifeform or get garbage.
13:01 mircea_popescu or don't put a disk in this.
13:01 mircea_popescu or put an array of 64k disks.
13:01 asciilifeform there'll be a khz item in there, regardless.
13:01 mircea_popescu not if there's any real engineers involved!
13:01 asciilifeform i/o, for instance.
13:01 trinque my shitty ram claims to run at 3.2ghz
13:01 mircea_popescu asciilifeform fuck that, wire speed.
13:02 asciilifeform you want to run at the baud rate of the terminal, lol?
13:02 mircea_popescu trinque ramdisk entirely practicable by now.
13:02 trinque sitting on 32gb of the stuff atm
13:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nono, there's this wire, and it does 1thz, and you connect w/e you want to it, go ahead.
13:02 asciilifeform has mircea_popescu ever seen a multi-Ghz box-to-box wire ?
13:02 asciilifeform ever touched, with own hands ?
13:02 mircea_popescu takes "flickers in and out of existence" to a whole new level.
13:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes.
13:03 mircea_popescu it was much shorter and slightly thicker than my penis.
13:03 asciilifeform aha!
13:03 * asciilifeform satisfied that mircea_popescu saw
13:04 asciilifeform anyway the badnoose for mircea_popescu is that you're stuck with the busy signal because that's what the 's' in sram or sdram stands for. the synchronicity.
13:04 mircea_popescu gets special driver.
13:04 asciilifeform it's how you read/write the actual stable signal you put/got , rather than liquishit.
13:04 mircea_popescu to simply "run it by the clock"
13:04 asciilifeform clock ain't magic, it does not teleport to whole circuit instantaneously
13:04 mircea_popescu oh fucking hell.
13:04 asciilifeform ( sadly. )
13:05 mircea_popescu i knew this dream was too good to last.
13:05 asciilifeform i'd luvvv a clock like that, btw
13:05 mircea_popescu motherfucking signals.
13:05 asciilifeform it'd have made FG much easier to make, for instance

13:16 mircea_popescu o boy. what size would a mpfhf capable item occupy ?
13:16 asciilifeform breadbox
13:16 mircea_popescu and phuctor ?
13:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what do you think.
13:17 mircea_popescu cost turns out to have been unreliably measured.
13:17 asciilifeform phuctor is not the objective imho
13:17 mircea_popescu agreed, just getting an idea.
13:17 mircea_popescu this tta would cost more in floorspace rent than in object items.
13:17 asciilifeform objective is a minimal core of absolute nonusgicity
13:17 asciilifeform suitable for, e.g., rsa.
13:17 mircea_popescu rsa is > mpfhf

13:18 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: rsa looks harder than it is because of the ludicrously short machineword of the pc
13:18 mircea_popescu oh you can do that, hm
13:18 asciilifeform it is possible to multiply, for instance, in O(1)
13:18 asciilifeform if you have longer words.
13:18 mircea_popescu make a 4096 word machine and be done wit hthe shit
13:18 asciilifeform aha!
13:18 asciilifeform what do you think ffa is prototype of !
13:18 mircea_popescu yes this is a great idea actually!
13:18 asciilifeform 'p' is simply software emulator of a $widebit machine.
13:19 mircea_popescu in point of fact, this breadbox may qwell be clock-speed fast when doing rsa, none of those second bs of python running on 8 bit "optimal" intel-me
13:19 asciilifeform aaaaha.
13:19 mircea_popescu "what do you think 4Gz means, bitch ? you do 4 billion rsa per second."
13:19 asciilifeform sorta what i've been swimming towards for past yr or 2
13:20 mircea_popescu a breadbox like that'd be actually worth buying.

13:22 mircea_popescu "oh, quantum computer can like, totally break things and what was it ?" ehehehe
13:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's by now a well established fact through republican practice, this original idea that "all the benefits of non-usg, you get by simply making non-consumer choices".
13:23 asciilifeform the first step is to reconsider the traditional 'konsoomer assumptions'
13:24 mircea_popescu "don't try to use the king's own mail system (with incantations! and lemon juice!) to get your dope -- not have problems with getting your dope". and so on.
13:24 asciilifeform e.g. 'do you really need a box that plays solitaire? maybe one that simply adds 32768-bit numbers reasonably quickly and outputs answer at 115200 baud, will suffice !' etc

16:38 Framedragger trinque: i read said flatmate's dissertation on critical writing and provided lots of criticism, it was nice, not sure what else to say
16:38 Framedragger mircea_popescu: let me recall
16:39 trinque nice how?
16:40 Framedragger basically she inherited this terribad codebase, "bridgedb". she rewrote parts of it (possibly finishing the rest but i didn't stay in touch), and fixed all kinds of weird threading issues by effective use of semaphores etc, which is nothing special, but the result is just so damn easy to read
16:40 Framedragger and maintanable.
16:40 mircea_popescu i see.
16:40 Framedragger i don't mean easy as in lazy, i mean that there was no point for the historical bad to be so clumsy
16:41 mircea_popescu and you wrote the original ?
16:41 Framedragger trinque: she agreed that "yes i was quoting here because i liked the quote, didn't understand in depth", many times, while at the same time i didn't think it was all nonsense. i would have to dig up to actually provide examples, which i suppose yes would be nice.
16:41 Framedragger mircea_popescu: hehe, no
16:41 Framedragger but i got to see both
16:42 mircea_popescu and so this was a learning experience for you, because semaphores as a concept ?
16:42 trinque Framedragger: you're avoiding spilling the "what was not all nonsense"
16:43 mircea_popescu well, might be the first time he's confronted with this issue.
16:43 trinque ample logs of me smacking my nose on same!
16:44 Framedragger "heavily documented and commented without useless comments code", effective use of OOP in python without using classes just for the sake of it, tackling a technologically entangled thing (i could explain but basically there is this "bridge db" which gives "bridges" at some churn rate, but bridges come in different "buckets" (different obfuscation protocol etc),
16:44 Framedragger and hence need multiple hashrings (which ensure uniformly random distribution of them), etc.; many moving parts.)
16:44 mircea_popescu Framedragger see now you're being useful. because the republican notion of "those people" is gendercomits for comments.
16:44 Framedragger trinque: yeah i acknowledge that. well fuck, i need to actually try to respond, but for that i'd need to take a look at subject again. which i can do and probably should do
16:45 mircea_popescu so basically, something more in the vein of literate programming than in the vein of lolzjavascript
16:45 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677848 << lol, what was it, Used Hashtable While Female ?
16:45 a111 Logged on 2017-06-30 20:37 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677344 << use of some specific datastructures (e.g. - and yes uni didn't cover yes - yes, shame on me - hashrings). as well as coding style (yes).
16:45 * asciilifeform likes to say to pet, 'but you did it While Female !'
16:45 mircea_popescu and she likes to hear, im sure.
16:46 asciilifeform somewhat relatedly, http://trilema.com/2017/promising-and-promises/#comment-122310
16:46 Framedragger asciilifeform: got shown shit effectively while also staring at relevant places of codebase so it was all contextualised well.
16:46 Framedragger s/shown/explained/
16:46 mircea_popescu cool deal.
16:46 asciilifeform Framedragger: do you realize how 'hour of battle' this sounds ?
16:46 asciilifeform ( the sheckley story )
16:46 Framedragger and yeah i guess just literate programming. i was *even younger*, recall
16:47 mircea_popescu no need to apologize for preference and inclination.
16:47 asciilifeform ( or as rebaked by mircea_popescu , http://trilema.com/2014/the-hour-of-reckoning )
16:47 mircea_popescu the whole requirement is to be able to explain, naught more.
16:48 asciilifeform recall the thread where mircea_popescu wrote 'what if you found something in your living room that you hadn't put there'
16:48 asciilifeform 'treat contents of your head with no less respect than the sofa'
16:48 asciilifeform or how did it go.
16:48 mircea_popescu ha!
16:50 asciilifeform and unrelatedly, http://trilema.com/2017/no-such-labs-snsa-march-2017-statement/#comment-122312
16:50 asciilifeform but back to the living room, Framedragger there is quite clearly something in yer head that you hadn't put there, you might want to figure out what it is.
16:51 asciilifeform mebbe the chix was THAT hot. i can't say, i only saw the leg!111
16:54 Framedragger check the video i guess, tastes can differ heh
16:54 mircea_popescu i like how chix is a singular for him, like minx
16:55 asciilifeform not ugly

18:19 asciilifeform arguably more than, e.g., rms
18:19 mircea_popescu noblesse oblige.
18:19 asciilifeform and not famous derp, either, but one of the original folx pushing, e.g., working pgp
18:20 mircea_popescu he should have been here. arguably more than, eg, rms.
18:20 asciilifeform aha.
18:20 BingoBoingo Then maybe famous guy like asciilifeform of Loper OS fame ought to email? You've got more history in the field.
18:20 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: mine seems to work with 'minus sign'
18:20 mircea_popescu from experience, famous doods aren't worth the paper they'll be buried in
18:20 BingoBoingo I am finding similar results. Seems email isn't functional for anything but "subscription" market that was never subscribed to
18:21 mircea_popescu anyone recall that "protocols of elders of zion" equivalent, "why not hire inerlligent people" ?
18:21 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: short of getting on airplane and knocking on his door, i have no further idea

18:23 mircea_popescu "famous people".
18:25 * mircea_popescu is sick of "famous people" like of crab apples. let them sit in some other latrine with their "oh i lost my pgp key 20 years ago" zimmerman and their "i dedicate my life to raising impudent street urchins as if they were white people" bernstein and their "oh hi, rng ?" koch and their "o btw, i lied about that laptop" rms everything else.
18:26 mircea_popescu not a single one, you understand me, out of dozens examined, proved upon examination to be more than wasp spit and dung.
18:26 mircea_popescu i've a better chance to find actual human among the barefoot jungle nicas than among the usgistani "famous people".
18:29 mircea_popescu and this isn't even getting into the whole layer of "i make a webcomic about shit i don't grok" "famous" retardation
18:37 * Framedragger actually recalls essay. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Why_I_Never_Hire_Brilliant_Men

18:53 mircea_popescu i thought all you had was wilting heat and scorpions
18:54 sina we def got the wilting heat in summer, and little scorpions as you approach the equator
18:54 mircea_popescu my stereotypes are offen't.
18:54 sina but you're still allowed to ridicule Craig Wright here
18:55 mircea_popescu are you allowed to peruse drawings of little squares labeled mom "fucking" littler squares labeled daugther and/or dog ?
18:55 sina and despite our local media being incapable of discerning an utter charlatan from a block of wood, those who could, did
18:57 sina nobodies gonna kick down your door for watching pornhub or even bestialityhub
18:57 mircea_popescu to my eyes, the true outstanding imbecillity of the remains of the british empire is this, taking the ustardian pretense that "child pornography" and turning it to the point of "CARTOON!!!! child pornography".
18:57 mircea_popescu that they're thereby negating the very pretense of justification never seems to have occured to them. oh, really, does it harm little drawings ?
18:58 sina ah childporn. yeah they come down on that kind of stuff very hard here
18:58 mircea_popescu this is like saying an idiot ignoring the door and trying to walk through the wall "Came very hard". the hardness isn't the point, the utter idiocy kinda overwhelms it.
18:58 mircea_popescu fucking gumby's, the lot.
18:59 sina to clarify, are you trying to make the point that childporn shouldn't be prosecuted? or that the definition of childporn is overlybroad
19:00 mircea_popescu i am making the point that irrespective of whether some group should be oppressed or not, the "justification" proferred for the oppression is ridiculous.
19:00 mircea_popescu much saner to put all gays in jail because "they offend baby jezuz" than to put all pedos in jail because "they harm little kids"
19:01 sina it wasn't all that long ago that we were doing just that in fact
19:01 mircea_popescu it wasn't.
19:01 mircea_popescu but be that as it may -- the notion that a drawing can be at issue is not only just as stupid as usual, but also crits. now you don't even have any sort of available "i really believe this crap" defense.
19:01 mircea_popescu clearly, there's nothing therew.
19:02 sina well one can argue that all of the lines in "society" are essentially of the same arbitrary construct
19:02 sina it just so happens that this is where one of those lines is laid today
19:03 mircea_popescu one could argue that, but not very successfully. try and argue it re drugs for instance.
19:04 sina um sure? so the line for some drugs is drawn *here*, and other drugs drawn *there*, and depending on a similarly "nothing there" criteria, some peoples lives are ruined and others enriched
19:04 mircea_popescu did you see the economic discussion of the matter in the logs ?
19:04 mircea_popescu or did you read the "how to be a pimp" piece on trilema ?
19:05 sina I think at this point, given countries like Portugal which have decriminalised a lot of drugstuff, it's clear the lines for drugs is just as arbitrary
19:05 mircea_popescu i dun see it.
19:06 sina rly? because in Portugal posession of an ounce of weed is nothing, here it's up to officer discretion (above 1oz is trafficking!), in US if you're black that can be jail, in Indonesia you could get death
19:06 sina clearly it's arbitrary
19:07 mircea_popescu right now it's morning where you live, afternoon where i live and even night in some places. clearly daytimes are arbitrary.
19:07 mircea_popescu wtf reasoning is this.
19:07 BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677819 << vodka also offers chance for self improvement if personal tolerance for "rock bottom" tops out higher than grave

19:07 mircea_popescu portugal has a large redditard population and nothing else. they need weed for crowd control like the us needs prozac.

19:07 sina sir where I live the sun is rising and where you live it may be falling
19:07 sina but I will read the pimp article nonetheless

19:10 mircea_popescu ~the entire raison d'etre of portugal altogether is as "that place where black chicks from africa go to learn portuguese before being shipped to work in brazil brothels."
19:11 sina really? I would've imagined the flow to go opposite direction
19:11 sina I mean, from brazil to portugal
19:11 mircea_popescu why ?
19:12 sina GDP/capita in brazil is half of portugal? more money for the same skin
19:12 BingoBoingo No money in portugal, because no people left who don't suck
19:12 mircea_popescu except brazil has more industrial base than ~all of europe, and that "per capita" is bullshit as half the country lives on a dollar a day.
19:13 mircea_popescu which leaves you with a bankrupt 5mn strong portugal and 25mn brazillians with 1mn to blow on black hookers.
19:13 sina I guess there is no available "GDP/people who can afford brothel visits" metric
19:13 mircea_popescu gdp is ~meaningless. it is entirely government window dressing in socialist countries, and entirely "wealth divided to random number" in sane countries. the two are distinguished by "inequality index".
19:14 BingoBoingo GDP biases towards cows and printing presses
