phf: sad, i was warming up to it
as a note taking tool..
phf: nah, i didn't go
as far
as motherboard removal. i was thinking this might be heat issue, but that would be out of the box, and the pattern don't really correspond to heating
mircea_popescu: suppose there's a measure of human fitness, not quite IQ but anyway, just
as insanely, a positive integer scalar. suppose there's a measure of human confusion, going from 0 (full pantrsuit, actually believes socialism is a thing, etc) to 1 (actual republican).
mircea_popescu: not to mention it readily explains a lot of other things, such
as why we opress the stupid, the poor, the "alternatively" sexuate, the bizarrely literate etcetera.
mircea_popescu: hm, this "write line
as long
as you wish, program will split" fix turns out to not play so well with logreader...
mircea_popescu: specifically, writing software is not some kind of hired work, like polishing boots or cutting hair. writing software is a dignity, in the exact sense there contemplated : republic gives you, ivan ivanovich, a budget of so many lines,
as if it were so many bitcoins, to ~EXPEND~ in a defensible, meaningful, useful an' rational fashion ( hence
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-07#1832667 discussion ).

as for asciilifeform , he would actually prefer if mircea_popescu shot straight and said 'hell no i won't pay for no stinkin' software', rather than the peculiar ritual of having a contest, then to proclaim the submitters
as a whole 'self-indulgent indolent' and then in the end to take s.nsa crypto lib and use for phree anyway
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 15:33 asciilifeform: Mocky: to function
as a troo vtronicist, gotta grasp the concept, described by e.g. dijkstra, that a line of code you have written is not an asset, but an expense. (specifically, an expense against the time budget of other thinking people, who must read and grasp what you have written. )
phf: (btcbase doesn't choke on circular graphs, though in a general case it bails. if the circle is in the descendants order is determined by walk's order of entry, a circle back to genesis though can still be broken by explicitly designated something
as "genesis", etc.)
phf: if you want to reduce the problem to a "don't do this" policy, then it stems from repeated hunks across multiple vpatches, i.e. if you have two or more vpatches that have identical state transitions. something like that is bound to happen when you're attempting to port a feature between branches,
as is the case with vtools. (i.e. you patched foo.c in one file "remove broken behavior", you now want to also introduce same fix to the other branch)
phf: asciilifeform: nope, another form that
as of now doesn't have a name
phf: let me retest it, but
as far
as i recall it was producing a patch order that doesn't press
a111: Logged on 2018-05-21 11:48 spyked: it might also in a way be interesting to report how I stumbled upon this: I tried to recompile gnupg-1.4.10 on my broken debian system and got the same "multiple definition" linking errors
as in vtools' case (though I *did* use gcc<5). so I dug and found the usual kochs "fixing" things to compile gnupg on newer gccs.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-09 22:25 mircea_popescu: the correct solution is to distinguish selling and buying auctions. change the "A#285" lede into either "B#285" or "S#285" and then if it's a S have it work
as it works now, but if it's a B have it work ~reverse~, so smaller bids overbid larger bids.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-09 01:53 mircea_popescu: esthlos can't select portions of your blog! but anyway, "Make a new patch with esthlos-v_genesis and some node of the EuCrypt tree
as parents." wasn't contemplated, because

☟︎☟︎ lobbes: mod6 I would gladly work to earn that grant.
As it is, I already need to get the 'legacy' auctionbot away from heathen dependencies (in this case, the 'supybot' api), so in building this custom auctionbot for pizarro I may just take the opportunity to design something sitting atop ircbot/logbot and eventually release a proper genesis
☟︎ mod6: That would be wildly helpful. Something such
as that, could basically replace the entire OTC.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform she holds on to a post. you know, just
as when punished ; you pull. she ends up winded and you end up sweating.
mircea_popescu: comes
as close to giving the woman a good beating
as humanly possible without welts and leather straps. which ~makes me suspect~ it was very much not coincidental
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lasting-er impact,
as a fashionista, than
as one of these, whatever they are, "intellectuals" or so. << Whoever came up with those graft jeans has a legacy
mircea_popescu: and ~just
as~ in the computer case, fashion also has some kind of vague relation with objective realities. somewhat. tit holes usually go in front, registers usually go on a bus, sorta level of reality constraint.

mircea_popescu:
as xerox parc and say symbolics well proved (and crapple, shittysoft, etc all eagerly copied), no computer science matters for very long.
mircea_popescu: so it was, "re-grind your genesis ~
as a patch upon eucrypt~."
a111: Logged on 2018-07-07 04:26 mircea_popescu: actually... i suppose might
as well get the whole pile archived
mircea_popescu: (exactly
as it sounds, 1700s musket-machinegun attempt. didn't work so well)
mircea_popescu: (ftr, turret pistol actually existed -- borne out of that "supporter of creativity" that's ustardian "intellectual property" laws. worked
as well
as anything the socialists ever sired ever worked.)
mircea_popescu: the whole discussion went 1. there can only be one ; 2. sure
as fuck won't be hitler's ; 3. pick something
phf: now the reason i kept the branches separate is because i was expecting a rapid switch to keccak
as soon
as one's available, so the need to deal with sha patches would've been rare. that's not the case, and i want to have similar functionality available for both sha and keccak until there's no more active sha patches in the wild.
mircea_popescu: it's the direct equivalent of a key, actually. if you regard a rsa key
as "a succession of 2048 binary questions" to which one gives exactly correct answers ; then ~choices you make~ are ultimately the basis of identity.
mircea_popescu: esthlos there's an eucrypt keccak you can either import (by patching off eucrypt) or copy over (
as a different patch).
mircea_popescu: gotta check that the trusted (
as established by sigs) transformation is applied on a) what it expects to be applied and b) the provided transformation ~actually matches~ the described transformation that was trusted.
mircea_popescu: and b) you're applying "fuck you()" on the expectation it hashes
as "pupcakes and soda cop"
mircea_popescu transparently has about
as much respect for the intellectual productions of north america
as for the intellectual productions of the gabon republic.
mircea_popescu: right. might
as well use realistic terminology rather than their in-universe nonsensical wank.
mircea_popescu: author should be whipped to death in public square,
as far
as i'm concerned ; and all others like him alongside.

as ircbot. it'll follow the grand ircbot tradition of a genesis that never the less relies on the adjacent patches
mircea_popescu: (
as per the letter of the law, perfectly legitimate "business contacts" of everyone reading, seeing how you know the "requisite details" to distinguish ill-colored email from crown-blessed-color colored email.)

☝︎☟︎ trinque:
as I recall just walks the strings present in that position in the vpatches
mircea_popescu: meanwhile " In 2014 Dundee was recognised by the United Nations
as the UK's first UNESCO City of Design for its diverse contributions to fields including medical research, comics and video games."
mircea_popescu: because
as it happens this is ready knob for "distinguish man from child". i can ask people, "but does your '''project''' dlopen" and well...
mircea_popescu: a minimal os + custom built fs (doubling
as bitcoin specific db ; possibly written
as raid firmware at least in part) + proper net driver (i really don't need iptables ad-hoc scripting lang to do what evidently and universally bitcoin node has to do) + grandfather pistols bitcoin code => an actual definitive package.
mircea_popescu: Thou causeth the mother to neglect her child, also the father to act
as he were wild, so that he neglects his loving wife and family dear, by spending his earnings foolishly on whisky, rum and beer.
ave1: asciilifeform, yes that was my first reaction too. It does does something with word copying though and also individual files can be build without any of the extra gnat checks. So maybe the ada versions can be stand-ins so long
as a native asm based version has not been written.
ave1: it maybe possible to creat a stand-alone object file
as target but I haven't found that option yet (so far I worked with libraries and executables).
ave1: the startup.S file, it needs to end up
as a separate object file and not part of libgnat.a
ave1: thx diana_coman, It's now very minimal, mostly so that it can be understood
as is. I'm working on adding all the code in so that at least ffa can build.
mircea_popescu: if you recall, unicode started
as "how about we produce replacement for "Box drawings vertical single and right double"
mircea_popescu: the issue of textual->pictographic representation is a lot wider and deeper than what the imbeciles rephrased it
as, and proceeded to "solve" in their usual fucktarded manbners.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-27 23:41 asciilifeform: generally -- the industrialist saw the artisan
as a headache, and killed him. nao we get to 'enjoy' the fruits of de-artisan'ed industry.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 16:23 asciilifeform: the 'postel's law' nonsense, of silently forgiving people who send liquishit at the dusty disused corners of the protocol, enabling there to even ~be~ such a thing
as dusty corners in a protocol!, MUST die.
trinque: (none ought be in the bootstrapper either,
as I think they're all masked, though not by any hard protocol)
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 16:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo this is not even the wrong way ; will not only significantly cheapen our end, but ~all of the enemy hardware will ahve to be replaced, at capital costs far exceeding its current capacities (projected to diminish in the future
as they may be)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not like imperial ideology is meaningful in any sense anyway. might
as well.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, trinque's script is basically proto-cuntoo
as far
as I understand it; and it will result in a mulstronic system so why are we talking of a glibc box?
mircea_popescu: so if i use it, the resulting system will in fact permit my testing of a whole set of musl-compiled deps, system wide, such
as mysql and whatever other libs eulora pulls.
