asciilifeform: ( the 2ndarystack is used to keep around the lengths of this variable-length turd that got thrown on the primary. )
asciilifeform: dunno re intel's turd, but plenty of static (i.e. clocks from dc to max) on embedded market.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can see , linked turd is entirely 'hey let's try and make paper-btc the way we did paper-au' usg gambit
asciilifeform: ( and since replaced with a ~different~ closed turd, when they threw out the hand-asm or what was it that norwegian ministry of telecom wrote, and replaced with crapple's engine )
asciilifeform: for bonus lulz ( was this intentional, mircea_popescu ? ) the example proggy, 'opera', is a closed turd☟︎
asciilifeform: contrast turd, in the heads of the 'unix was beautiful' people
asciilifeform: the original contrast turd was the now-forgotten 'multics'
asciilifeform: there's an ancient and now-unsupported closed warez turd. and a buncha open sores that dun work ~at all. ( on linux, i dun give a fuck what exists for microshit )
asciilifeform: unsurprising , turd world (incl usa) all walks in those same chinese synthetic shirts
asciilifeform: iirc 'libressl' was an attempted whitewashing of openssl turd by the usual suspects.
asciilifeform: !~later tell whaack when testing 'horse', verify that the bin turd produced as file 'out' is identical to the input block. this means that the parser worx.
asciilifeform: ( in other 'gangrene ? what gangrene?' horrors : 'LibTomCrypt is pretty nice to read (only bug found in last 10 years was in prime generation — failed to iterate Miller-Rabin)' -- from turdhttps://comsecuris.com/slides/slides-bignum-bhus2015.pdf re broken bignumatrons. cited line presented as a 'hey it's pretty good'... )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i extracted 4 other ro dicts from the turd : 2 'technical', 1 'expressions', 1 'proverbs'
asciilifeform: so genesis the text file, and it contains the turd hashes. this is what i did with fg.
asciilifeform: they carry no meaning at all. change 1 byte and you get a turd every bit as large as the genesis.
asciilifeform: the solution is absolutely never 'hey which flycheck turd should i use nao'
asciilifeform: but i suppose is now a dried, rather than soft turd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: syncing a wp turd with coad on disk, in flux, is a bitch tho
asciilifeform: it would even make sense if order was 'make'em all install this here new winblowz turd'. but iirc 2303x did not even ~offer~ a winturd.
asciilifeform: my observation is strictly 'netflicks is NOT proof of massive bandwidth in turd world'
asciilifeform: i'd like it not to be lost upstack, so will restate ftr : a 'optimized' rsa that no longer fits in head and is no longer demonstrably-correct , ( and worse yet, no longer operates branch-free ) is NOT RSA and is simply a turd being fraudulently passed off as the genuine article
asciilifeform: so as not to feed a massive turd into an O(N^3) division algo
asciilifeform: rothbart: ( summary : we discovered that gpg is a turd, and is to be burned down, not encased in iron )
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform tested various proggies purporting to extract utxoset. each and every one, shite. e.g. 'bitcoin-abe' works in geological speed, and promises to produce multi-TB sql turd
asciilifeform: theoretically every turd that comes out of a pig is also 'new object, never before existed'
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: in the process of prototyping that one, we found that gpg is a turd
asciilifeform: !~later tell mike_c http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-19#1700623 << why was it necessary to use closed turd client ? ( what's the actual diff in the lolfork anyway ? the 2mb thing ? could exist as a lulzpatch for trb, even, in principle )☝︎
asciilifeform: ( 'why should we ship dev tool! we're a binary turd, microshit by other name' )
asciilifeform: ( both openssl turd and the moar recent prb-proprietary one )
asciilifeform: trinque: segshitness was in re 'we'll stop signing our tx so as to fit Moar in per block, and rando can Never! spend'em because of this other turd we shat out nowhere near the actual blockchain but Miners Will Enforce' approx
asciilifeform: it can be as expensive ( broadcast to galaxy! ) or cheap ( request a turd in web form, which actually reduces to approx. mircea_popescu's original..! ) as desired.
asciilifeform: i.e. a signed(S) could not have practically come into existence before you broadcast S, if the latter is a long rng turd
asciilifeform: mod6: elementarily, 'limited entropy', 'respectable mainstream' turd can put out whatever it wants, GB/s, of prng
asciilifeform: phf: i'd doubt that the existing open sores turd would do the job ( esp how 'render without gpu' is a more or less entirely untested component, 'everyone has gpu!111' etc )
asciilifeform: ( to one day be rid of closed turd gpu )
asciilifeform: lulzy, 'hold the winblowz fort in the turd world' item
asciilifeform: jurov, why didja link this, it's a turd.
asciilifeform: this was how i ended up entirely setting bozo bit on shitoshi's cpp turd.
asciilifeform: or now you have this weird special turd case for no reason.
asciilifeform: and yes in 'proper comp' code would be stored as an ast, and not as ascii linear turd.
asciilifeform: plan being, 'everyone' will remember the turd, not the victim
asciilifeform: 'It is the most advanced and secure instant messaging protocol to date. This is why the designers got an award in front of a conference full of seasoned cryptographers and security engineers a week back for improving Real World Cryptography. ' << from turd in earlier thread. that thing is ~bottomless lulzmine.☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-28#1649464 << gotta understand the principle : if martians landed tonight, and fixed, somehow, all of the bugs in openssl, and god signed off that there are no more -- openssl will STILL be a turd, because does not fit in head !☝︎
asciilifeform: it worx internally (in e.g., nqb) but the mere fact of tx replacement idiocy being supported in shitoshi's turd, means that a tx is not, in principle, self-contained, can mean entirely different movement if meanwhile its txid got recycled
asciilifeform: this in fact is a practical definition of 'turd' in our context : item that, massage it as you will, is still fundamentally broken by design.
asciilifeform: masssaging of turd -- produces turd, not ferrocement.
asciilifeform: shitoshi's turd is an incurable patient, in my eyes.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc the test target built a turd that exercised data structures, serialization, etc. rather than whole thing
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: if you're thinking of nic-on-xilinx, every single one (with the exception of the 10BaseT half-duplex that's floated around since 1990s) relies on a xilinx-proprietary fabric turd
asciilifeform: ( for noobs -- 'stack cookie' is the -- nowadays common, at least in gccland -- practice of putting a random turd on the end of a stack that overflows, and later testing if it is still there before popping a return addr )
asciilifeform: astonishing how much retardation flows from this one little turd, the use of hashes (rather than positions) as tx pointers.
asciilifeform: your copy of this turd (quite unnecessary in trb, in fact, but that's besides the point, we inherited it in genesis) consists of the original concatenated to itself !
asciilifeform: but for the l0gz, lemme finish: replacing bdb, massive turd, with ext (or reiser, or any) equally or greater mass turd, (and now with linux dependence !!) is not a win.
asciilifeform: ... so that a 256-bit turd, e.g., 3ec455a2a84e978687a3990cec73f36b324fbd28e03603c6d9fc52018b001558, can be taken and matched to a block # where said tx lives.☟︎
asciilifeform: ( according to maslennikov, kgb directorate of crypto struggled with the fundamental boojum and simply gave up, and turned to turd polishing )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: just to make it absolutely clear, i don't see a long-term future for satoshi's turd. all of my work on trb is to be regarded in same light as the neutron-absorbing armour on 1970s sov tanks -- something with which to prolong the life of the crew ~slightly~ so that it can drive over freshly-nuked ground and last a few hours of shootout.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: the current favourite, archive.is, is able to display the ~text~ of pretty much every linked turd (no matter how encrusted) without ~forcing~ viewer to enable js. can yours do this ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is demonstrably impossible in the general case (unless you count html turd with img tags and pages as bitmaps as 'well-formatted')
asciilifeform: incidentally it is quite debatable imho whether a 'linux box' with closed-turd gpu driver is in any useful sense a linux box.
asciilifeform: it is the reasonable thing to presuppose, re a public turd of heathen provenance.
asciilifeform: trinque: lol, piece is ~about~ a turd that i linked here earlier.
asciilifeform: and of course closed-source-remotely-updated-turd-on-closed-remotely-updated-os-sitting-on-usg.ssl-pki is not 'backdoor', didjaknow also.
asciilifeform actually read the entire talos turd, and the links, and as is quite typical the 'libreboot' idiot pitches 'use linux on chromebook c201' -- but if you actually read, then will learn that 'so long as you don't need wireless nic or video to work!'
asciilifeform: buried in this lengthy turd is the entirely valid observation that 'If Miner i cannot obtain a single block posted before Bi, he quits the business. Therefore, we investigate the time between any two consecutive events. As {Ii} is indeed a Bernoulli process, ... ' (concluding with 'miner cartel is +ev and inevitable')
asciilifeform: and fwiw the turd wouldn't unzip on winblowz or crapple either.
asciilifeform: instead of tumblr/lj/medium/turd-of-the-day
asciilifeform: i read the original turd, it was ill-specified
asciilifeform: 'oh it's the same text except that i ran this-here perl turd on it and trust me that it works as i said on your perltron' is not vtronic.
asciilifeform: well the old code has ban(...) which instructs 'this datum was a malicious turd and i dun want no moar from that ip'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lulzy contrast of the solid 'hp oscilloscope' goodness of the console buttons, with the crapple turd
