mircea_popescu: if you look through the logs the
spec is a pastebin plastered like a dozen diff places.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: butbut... the
spec's right here! <<< not terribly fair. the mercedes is not made out of coffee like code is.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> like, your whole reich goes down << wouldn't it be grand to have a
spec so people can use that to build their own compliant reference implementation?
punkman: openpgp
spec says normalize to CRLF I think
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah original
spec called for keeping all the deeds, as a sort of primitive distributed backup
mircea_popescu: punkman hm. this is actually an improvement on my
spec. who ever thought such possible!
ben_vulpes: well this'd be the difference between a
spec and an implementation, non?
bounce wouldn't be surprised to learn the chips bricked themselves because they're not up to
spec pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes as opposed to... lol crafting your own based on imaginary
spec?
bounce: nah, just sloppy
spec. care to tighten it up?
BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform: I was speaking with a fellow who had to rube-goldberg engineer a crazy 'biologic' breakdown system for mustard gas, because the envirocultists refused to allow simple incineration of the stuff << Disolve in vegetable oil, emulsify with albumin, condiment that passes
spec in Ohio
assbot: Ethereum ASIC-resistant PoW
spec - Google Docs
ThickAsThieves: the concept of a
spec'd way to comment on websites with one account?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
spec for carving kiwis, or a zealotous os?
mircea_popescu: PeterL: The
spec says to generate an address from hashing the text, is there a way for other people to verify this? <<< yes. generate the address, spend the coins sent there.
PeterL: yes, but this is about the
spec, not the particular code
PeterL: The
spec says to generate an address from hashing the text, is there a way for other people to verify this?
mircea_popescu: whoever makes it, either makes it to
spec or it won't work. period and enforced.
decimation: for another thing the practical folks are off doing something useful rather than travelling to LA to 'agree on a
spec'
mircea_popescu: the
spec is about as stupid as a hardware
spec could be.
decimation: asciilifeform: after working closely with usb, do you see it as an evil
spec?
thickasthieves: all computers should use the same hw
spec and everyone should program in the same language and use the same db sesign too
thickasthieves: i understand that a
spec for website data would be convenient and provide ease and cleanliness from one perspective
mircea_popescu: decimation you can appreciate the shittyness of it, right ? suppose you were given the task of fixing code you may not read running on a one of a kind processor you don't even have the
spec for.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` well this point was still being worked upon. the
spec calls for the hash to be used as the privkey for the destination of the tx.
assbot: Logged on 23-09-2014 03:26:15; mircea_popescu: dja recall the
spec ?
decimation: I yearn for the days when usg would actually create a
spec for an object and have it manufactured
mats_cd03: fun fact: the Bluetooth Low Energy
spec has three key exchange mechanisms. 2/3 "do not provide any passive eavesdropping protection" (as per
spec).
MolokoDesk: the hashing
spec is just SHA256 of the file converted to a bitcoin address.
punkman: hashing
spec would be nice
MolokoDesk: if that was your
spec that's what it's doing.
mircea_popescu: doctors have been doing ok auditing the human body w/o any
spec for a while now.
assbot: Logged on 27-07-2014 19:05:02; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in 2010 i concocted a variant of the test that could be carried out for approx. 50k USD, from scratch. schwartz answered that, in his estimation, the test would work to
spec, but results would not be accepted by the field unless carried out on one of the two existing eotvos balances. one - adelberger's, one - chicom.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: justusranvier "code is the
spec" means "the compiler we use is the
spec" too.
justusranvier: Speaking of specs, davec found parts of bitcoind script validation that involved behavior undefined by the C++
spec, meaning it's theoritically possible to compile it with a non-gcc compiler and get two bitcoinds that will fork on a carefully-crafted transactions.
mircea_popescu: what are they going to do, write out a
spec then have the bitcoind horde pretend "it fails" ?
mircea_popescu: we're not getting too far here, lemme write it out as a formal
spec.
jurov: with caveat thet ETA for rigorous
spec is Inf
assbot: Nobody thinks about the robot apocalypse when
spec'ing out a sex android. They should. When the time comes, are you going to be the sub?
decimation: asciilifeform: the datasheet artfully declines to provide any
spec for timing accuracy - long or short term
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu - sure, those guys are dime a dozen. I can find almost any
spec you throw at me - the more detailed & complex the better. Its kind of nice cause I work in a female dominated industry (HR) so I tend to gravitate all the jobs noone else can fill
dignork: i'm doing it for a friend, but all this
spec looks overcomplicated as shit, and thus probably buggy exploitable
zillabtc: they have full
spec of what the business plan is.
decimation: yeah a grand seiko quartz should be less than 1 second per month based on their internal
spec decimation: impedance actually varies with frequency, which no one gives a
spec for
decimation: according to their
spec sheet, the ath m50's only go down to 15 hz, the sennehiser hd280's go down to 8 Hz
decimation: man the
spec sheets for headphones suck
decimation: I'm a sennheiser fanboi, but I'm sure there are other quality headphones out there. examine the
spec sheet
mircea_popescu: so what, im going to ask for oceanview in my provision
spec ?
decimation: yeah, the amount of extra work you have to go through to meet mil-
spec for avionics, etc, why bother changing software?
decimation: I wish I had access to a high
spec metal mill
decimation: pretty much anything miniaturized & high
spec RF
kakobrekla: if anyone is particularly interested, i looked into why a negative prefix appears in the statement at the gain
spec assbot: The author of the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug also wrote the
spec : programming
TheNewDeal: well don't they also have to perform to
spec?
