mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two fundamental items i can readily identify, maybe more. 1. i actually did plop an echo $_GET in there. is this just bad coding ? is it a legitimate assumption ? 2. he has a point,
as long
as it's on trilema.com, a script has powers OUTSIDE of its implicit scope, "steal cookies" whatever. is this ~actually~ bad systems design ?
mircea_popescu: in fairness, kid's got me meditating about the nature of things ever since last night. see, the trouble is : in his syustem, he has actually found a vulnerability,
as a factual matter. in my system this is entirely meaningless. why the difference ?

mod6: and it goes back to the same thing
as with diana_coman. having two '++' at the front of the line. the way the vdiff is written, when it passes the diffed file off to awk to pattern match the ---|+++ it adds that '+' in the front, then it matches, causing it to call sha512sum.. which is where the false comes from. I think.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
as the man said, "motherfucker, why didn't i think of that!"
mod6: I'd like to see the Republic continue to expand the number of trb nodes we have available this year. There are activities currently afoot that immensly support that. Getting FFA vetted and used
as a base lib really will help get the ball rolling for any proposed trbi.
mod6: It's only

mircea_popescu: yes, but a perfectly dumb item is
as respectable
as the perfect woman.
mircea_popescu: honestly your coin idea isn't even bad, in theory. in practice it has a fundamental flaw. you see, bitcoin acts
AS A CLOCK. this is its principal function. your thing has no clock.
mircea_popescu: what can you do ? she's not setting up any bouncers
as a three day old.
NoSatoshisHear: was pretty cool getting to be in the architect meeting. They introduced the FU chip in 2004
as a seperate processor. I so voted it down. It sounded like a spy chip and it was.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean it was a historical event ; just
as a counterfactual.
mircea_popescu: 1. the idea to have "changelog only" patches
as a signature device is a major departure from how v worked previously, it semanticizes an item that we only recently even introduced ; 2. the idea to have patches that are deliberately non-compliant so "they won't be mainline" is a solution to what i thought an inexistend problem -- why not maintain special "experumental" keys for the purpose instead, l;ike sane people ?
ben_vulpes: makes for a neat delineation between patches baked in an angry stew and those selfsame patches read in the cold light of morning and possibly even reground by others
as "this works, and i propose it for inclusion in the trunk"

as the Military Experts. Experts of various schools were telling us in 1939 that the Maginot Line was impregnable, and that the Russo-German Pact had put an end to Hitler’s eastwards expansion; in early 1940 they were telling us
mircea_popescu: big endianism is the proposition of taking a pile of bits, and sorting them such that they representing larger powers of two are later than those representing smaller powers of two ; but only for chunks of bits of an arbitrary lengths ; chunks longer are ordered in ~the contrary fashion~, so ab is to be ordered
as ba by this scheme, but abcd is to be ordered
as badc.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't go so far
as have to, but it is a fact it'd help me in this point.
diana_coman: I suppose the "patch" would be to check endianism at runtime and use the correct constants
as it were; I ...still don't see why should I have endianism in there to start with
diana_coman: if I understand correctly what you mean by that, yes; basically to start with: I'm not sure that a.
as it currently stands you'll get same hash for same input on little vs big endian
diana_coman: asciilifeform, hm, that was my initial approach:
as long
as all of them are stored same endianness theoretically the bits fit correctly
diana_coman: asciilifeform, constants are stored
as numbers on 64 bits at the moment
mircea_popescu now gets to spend whole morning
as best case scenario figuring out what the holy shit happened.
diana_coman: I guess that might make him more sincere than the others but not in any discernible way a better option
as far
as I can see
mircea_popescu: well sure.
as you sit there right now typing at me, mosquitoes try to mosquitoize you, staph tries to staph you and so on.

as usg influence agents these days, and are getting beheaded pretty much everywhere, from myanmar to galicia and from gdansk to bucharest.
mircea_popescu: v is esentially found today
as an enchanted castle surrounded by 5000 rakes upon which the prince is welcome to step, and once he stepped he can come to us and by the shape in his forehead we can describe the rake he stepped on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "In what we denote
as "primitive societies", the superstition that knowing someone's true name gives you magic power over him is not unusual. We are hardly less primitive: why do we persist here in answering the telephone with the most unhelpful "hello" instead of our name?" << motherfucker. because if we TELL the name instead of hello, we therefore have no resources left to verify whether the other party called us or just ca
mircea_popescu:
as the saying goes, "and next year -- we launch rockets"
mircea_popescu: this is substantially fine ; but
as presented it's a jumble of disjoints. resistance of the medium is in there, but not alone.
mircea_popescu: applying the "o noes, computer is much faster now" meme
as if it meant something only drives home the nonsensical view that "computer is faster". which it fucking isn't, computer of today is well slower than computer of 1980.
mircea_popescu: so, the differential of computing speed and movement speed are not directly comparable
as he proposes.
deedbot: asciilifeform rated deedbot 10 << exactly
as printed on the crate.
TomServo: Glacial
as far
as? Having kids certainly didn't help my pace.

as a "well, gotta put best foot forward and don best suit", kinda unconvinced of why or what the fuck subjhectively, "but what can you do". which is why i just ignored it, triggered none of my tripwires. while apparently hitting TWO DIFFERENT!!! immune system protein pathways in two different people.

shinohai: Just to make note in logs, I tested phf's vdiff changes
as outlined on his blog, and got satisfactory results. Old version of vdiff failed
