a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:17 mircea_popescu: so, she'll be doing client work with her own two hands, something i had every intention to avoid ; and we'll be looking at integrating cuntoo on the server side later on. there's some db work in the hopper also, but that's even further on the maturity vine.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884609 << mircea_popescu is that db baking blocked on http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1873099 ? ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 00:02 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the logged discussion on the topic was, "if hashes match but paths do not, the file was moved ; if hashes match and paths match, the file is untouched ; if hashes do not match but paths match the file was modified ; if hashes do not match and paths do not match the file was created/deleted"
asciilifeform: grr, was looking for mircea_popescu's also for vtron file movements, still not found in log
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have a concrete application in mind, i can spare an hour or 2 to bake
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760563 ( napkin-level but working item i posted on prev occasions ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: bin differ ? yes. but it was never made to current-day tmsr quality , i shelved it when mircea_popescu said it wasn't particularly useful
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:51 phf: asciilifeform: i don't have binary diffing even in prototype form, if you could adaize your needleman-wunsch i could add it to vtools, the way i did with diana_coman's keccak
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:37 mircea_popescu: i do not know, as i sit here, what the conclusion of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881988 discussion was, three weeks later. the man sits among a republic built on a certain methodology, aims to quietly use the exact ~other~ methodology, makes no prior mention of this, candidly references the latter as if it worked notwithstanding how howlingly it failed to work to date, on and on in this vein and at the end of it al
asciilifeform: ( in orig timeline also did not include problem of constant-time keccak, which i presently do not have, and neither anyone else, but is necessary to fill mircea_popescu's spec for the final product )
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:22 mircea_popescu: finally, asciilifeform is working on rsa-based ssl-ism replacement (notwithstanding he ~seems to be~ working on any and all wank on the "side" during spare time he doesn't have and all that), which we want so we can finally move bitcoin off sheer cretinity and into cuntoo (and which is principally why we want sane db also, but as i said -- yet immature).
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what ben_vulpes is doing these days, if anything (other than maintaining his logotron, whatever that takes). i would like to hear.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman is working for s.mg ; we've recently had this exact talk and revised our plans. originally the idea was to have moved over to cuntoo, and do support work for community-driven effort at a new client. the latter completely collapsed over the shocking weakness of such community ; the former's at best delayed. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well hopefully thusly we smooth that out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, i've found myself using ffacalc itself, on many occasions when prev would've used python or bc etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nuffin wrong with 'bc', but it aint a replacement for customary full 'perlistic' toolbox really
asciilifeform: ty for digging tho, diana_coman .
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 18:33 asciilifeform: uni of reading, uk. wonder if d00d is still alive and within reach of diana_coman
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 17:32 mircea_popescu: this is not factually true. leaving aside how nuclear explosion not nearly as harmful to people as commonly misrepresented (and let's see http://trilema.com/2011/radiatia-si-corpul-omenesc/#comment-44772 re this), there's precious few neutron casualties recorded.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 16:47 mircea_popescu: ie, EXACTLY these dead horses smart people are dragging around on their own fucking power to sheer exhaustion.
asciilifeform: i'd say moar, but mircea_popescu already formulated concisely, in http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-04#1884378 . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 18:22 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have a strong bias against proggies which try to be 'smart'
asciilifeform: ( recall how constanttimeization is done, when converged, you set the stopper and fz_mux outputs the answer , after that algo runs however many shots remain but without affecting the output )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is troo for stein. but gotta show that this is isomorphic to stein.
asciilifeform: same thing as in e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/hypertext/ch14/fz_mul__adb.htm#164_7 .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he doesn't . read carefully.
asciilifeform: uni of reading, uk. wonder if d00d is still alive and within reach of diana_coman ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was my reaction precisely.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 16:46 mircea_popescu: but instead of that (and, it has to be said, through AND BECAUSE the ~shameful~, utterly immoral and absolutely unethical efforts of idiots just like http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884205 and like http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-09#1640999 of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-09#1641209 fame and so on), they became the exact equivalents of those loud earpieces in that shackley story
asciilifeform recalls mircea_popescu's gedanken- aluminum book
mircea_popescu: in lighter news, diana_coman 's latest suggests the last indisputable use for the bookshelf.
asciilifeform: ohai mircea_popescu

a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 20:15 diana_coman: trinque, how's it going with getting the Cuntoo .vpatch in fixed shape?
asciilifeform: http://www.slyck.com/Newsgroups_Guide_PAR_PAR2_Files << found it. ☟︎
asciilifeform: unrelatedly : hey mircea_popescu , didja have a torrent tracker ? i seem to recall in the log ( tho cannot find. ) or was it an in-house thingie strictly.
mod6: Yeah, I get the pizarro ip for both A and MX records. Just in case, I have posted the clearsigned report to my website for viewing: http://mod6.net/2018/December/31/btcf_address_201812.txt
jurov: diana_coman: really, let's seriously troubleshoot this. if you aren't using hosts file, can you please paste the output of: dig therealbitcoin.org and: dig MX therealbitcoin.org
asciilifeform: ( iirc diana_coman was the only 1 afflicted )
asciilifeform: jurov: this is entirely possible. lessee what diana_coman says when wakes up.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 20:00 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884103 << i think the logs reflect my thinking similarily at first ; but kinda dropped it also.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 07:19 diana_coman: mod6, http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2019-January/000321.html gives me http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/aaNkK/?raw=true

a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 19:57 mircea_popescu: why is it that this church is notable in spite of not having a feedbot ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from the 'steam engine is 'the workerz' 'but minus the drinkin' and unionizin''' pov ?
lobbesbot: Logged on 2019-01-03 14:53:01: <diana_coman> 18 pops, lmao
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 17:01 diana_coman: cool; one day I'll make it to ch14b too, lol
lobbesbot: Mocky: Sent 19 hours and 34 minutes ago: <mircea_popescu> further issue with bot for your list : if it dings two skills, it only trains one. really it should have a check ~before~ crafting whether it can do any skill upgrading somehiow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i do not know whether he tuned out entirely, or lurks, or which.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well ~that~ d00d has dec. and even dec vax, and ports various soft to'em.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:36 diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can count on fingers of 1 hand how many times i dig up on 'lone man net' sumthing useful, in a yr
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i won't know whether the 'constanttimeism litmus' actuallyworx, until i dredge up an iron where it outputs negative
asciilifeform: and guten tag mircea_popescu !
asciilifeform: diana_coman: when you read ch10, you will find that i had to rewrite some of the basic arithm logic, so as to remove dependence on indexing.
asciilifeform: if diana_coman et al find instance where i deviated from said convention ( and not fixed in current spearhead ) -- i would like to know about it.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: in fact i did ask; and happy to have it.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: where this appears, it is a concession to 1) speed 2) brevity of code . where the indexing of the array is known, because it is a local buffer, it is referred to explicitly; invocations X'First, X'Last, etc cost measurable cpu, it turned out. but where indexing is not known ( e.g. if operand may be part of a karatsuba ) , there it is unavoidably X'First etc.
diana_coman: if nitpick at all, the one thing that consistently nags at me (though for which I can't make up my mind as to actual solution) is the implicit reliance on indices to be in fact starting from 1 when copying stuff e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians.kv#L187
asciilifeform: diana_coman: where at all possible, i tried to use ~simpler~ algo than what was given by knuth. e.g. karatsuba without moving pivots.
asciilifeform: btw diana_coman -- your earlier nitpicks made it in to 14b.
asciilifeform: ty for putting in the sweat, diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: any interesting finds/nitpicks ?
asciilifeform: congrats diana_coman !
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i fixed the links by hand, there were only a handful.
asciilifeform: ty for the eggog report, diana_coman
a111: Logged on 2018-09-26 22:00 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly like most folx who actually work on proggies, asciilifeform has '9000' vtrees on various disk, on various boxen, that are in classical format, and many not even intended for publication, the ones that see daylight naturally will become newtype
asciilifeform: diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-26#1854819 ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma have to fix by hand.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: hm , i thought phf had the older ones still in there
diana_coman: asciilifeform, you broke all your links on your www to FFA code on btcbase when you changed the name of vpatches because of keccak vs sha: e.g. btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians/tree/ffa/ffacalc/cmdline.ads#L42 in Ch8 404s now because no ".kv"

a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 06:54 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: vintage gentoo, for smoketest, afaik there is not currently a cuntoo for dec
mod6: How goes tmsr~? I ~think~ that I have a working wp-mp now. I've converted over my most recent blog post about diana_coman's V Genesis. If you see something broken, or similar please let me know.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu & other 'gnu screen' people -- anybody recall how to switch the thing to vt220 ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 21:33 mircea_popescu: so it'd have been preferable if retarded cuntspawn spent its days with THAT, rather than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-01#1838623
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 21:27 mircea_popescu: anyone even remembers those things ? long strip of ticker tape rolled up, with spots of gunpowder or w/e, phosphorus in the middle, pistol had a hammer that fell on the spot made some noise and some smoke.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'homebrew crypto', there actually was a 1990s plague of commercial shitware folx who flunked arithmetic and then went to 'implement rsa', with exponent = 1 and so on
mircea_popescu: here, have a recent sample : AL_GA_Peach 26F Exploring "The message literally cuts off after whatever it is you’re. I don’t know not having all of the information is a mark against my intelligence but okay."
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bureaucracy very much has concept of hierarchy tho.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i didnt try patching out the test ( given as it's got montgomery, the answer will be soup ) but did try for odd exp, got ~same~ as for the nonconstanttime gmp knob ( which is pretty hilarious, means that they dun do anything differently for 'constant time' variant, evidently )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: montgomery demands that mod an' exp be ~coprime~

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have plain old tcp with 'pehbot' ( via trinque's cl proggy )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that's the usual heathen hypothesis (aka 'hormesis'). mircea_popescu seems to favour the other one (and seems moar plausible to asciilifeform) , where straight 'burn-in test'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc auschwitz also had 'elixir of youth' effect on the folx who were still movin' in '45
asciilifeform: guten tag, mircea_popescu !
asciilifeform: fwiw ordinary (no attempt at constanttime on their end) mpz_powm() , gives 0.005s . (so the asm does help'em.)

Mocky: mircea_popescu, maybe it will in the morning. I need some sleep
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'best sads' yes, but cppism is unusual in roms (1st case out of asciilifeform's considerable run)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lol, yet ~another~ war the us lost ? << Well this war is US+Israel, but it seems the only think that was keeping it a war was the US being there.
