asciilifeform: who has none, is a plaything for the wind, the insects, the fungi.
mircea_popescu: in that if you don't have one, you have the wreckers'.
asciilifeform: decohered -- aimless ooze, the peaks cancel, no movement.
asciilifeform: to have ideology is sorta like the coherence of laser light.
mircea_popescu: "room has no owner, therefore evidently no possible utility." and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 22:59 asciilifeform: this is the fate of all 'we don't have an ideology' derps
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 18:46 mircea_popescu: tbh an ~hour later my patience with teh #lisp is waning fast. yes it's not cohesive a la catv-org or whatever other dorkitudes we examined prior, which means there's no specific failure mode. but this doesn't mean much, it vaguely flails like an ooze and well...
whaack: alright I'll look into it more later, for my purposes I think ben_vulpes's code will be sufficient for now
asciilifeform: whaack: if you really want to run the example proggy, will have to get hold of 4.9 somehow
asciilifeform: ( i.e. someone saw it fit to change its semantics, between versions, as if such a change is ever anything other than wrecking )
ben_vulpes: not even thinking, these people. stackframes fabricated whole from reference to "computationally secure", reader has room for 2 words, and so "pseudo" is never evaluated
asciilifeform: whaack: eventually i'm doomed to write a proper sha2 , apparently, gnat's apparently is shitgnomatic.
ben_vulpes: gotta love how they staple "cryptographically secure" onto "pseudo random" so unthinking derps forget about the "pseudo" part
asciilifeform: as if the 'p' evaporates, unhappens, if not mentioned
whaack: asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ZaFt4/?raw=true gnat 4.6 on ubuntu 14.04.5 x64 through apt-get
ben_vulpes: "break this one 'cs'prng and everything running on bezosnet is yours, kid!" https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/better-random-number-generation-for-openssl-libc-and-linux-mainline/
asciilifeform: and paste also the full barf.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 18:37 whaack: asciilifeform: that fixed the problem, now hash_streams.adb:25:22: "Binary_Message_Digest" not declared in "SHA256"
mircea_popescu: tbh an ~hour later my patience with teh #lisp is waning fast. yes it's not cohesive a la catv-org or whatever other dorkitudes we examined prior, which means there's no specific failure mode. but this doesn't mean much, it vaguely flails like an ooze and well... ☟︎
ben_vulpes: like if you need colorized parens whatever you're working on has definitely escaped your ability to hold it in your head.
ben_vulpes: shouldn't be that bad, no. i still don't understand the why of it. after five minutes of working with lisp the parens should disappear into background bookeeping on any usable brainsubstrate
mircea_popescu: just the parens highlight thing doesn't seem that gnarly. am i naive ?
ben_vulpes: i don't want to try reimplementing emacs shittily for the browser, server-side.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i don't get ~anything about how the brains of these people work, so far. asking questions didn't get me much further, moved on to proposing prototypes, which... is going nowhere.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i don't get why people who want code highlit don't open the code in a proper editor ☟︎
whaack: asciilifeform: that fixed the problem, now hash_streams.adb:25:22: "Binary_Message_Digest" not declared in "SHA256" ☟︎
ben_vulpes: top, right of the searchbar
ben_vulpes: keeps jumpin me damn browser to the pagebottom
mircea_popescu: and no further than ONE DAY BACK in this log which seemed very respectable snr-wise on the basis of my hsaving read today, there's a PILE of "how to lisp on windows" and "how to utf-8 unicode etc".
asciilifeform: whaack: i wrote the thing back when i was mostly using adacore's gnat
asciilifeform: whaack: lemme know if this fixes.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 20:38 asciilifeform: diana_coman: the example was written on a box with adacore's gnat; the stock gnu one is stricter, doesn't permit Foo'Image -- instead you gotta FooTypeName'Image(Foo)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 17:55 whaack: asciilifeform: gnat1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fdump-scos’ when I try gprbuild. gnat version 4.6 gcc version 4.8.4. I removed the command line option from the gpr file since it seemed to be just used for coverage tools. Then got error prefix of "Image" attribute must be a type in 3 places in blocks.adb
mircea_popescu: i recall you saying this way back then
phf: by the way, their bot's code is public. i poached their highlighter for example for btcbase file rendering
mircea_popescu: the obvious downside being... takes a while.
mircea_popescu: phf im giving them time to figure out republicaqn supremacy on own power.
phf: that's actually a cute idea, have a bot do the `read' on whatever's pasted, but obviously only works here, not on #lisp (since all kinds of attack vectors)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, how hard would it be to add a flag (=lisp) to bpaste, make it highlight and shit as per #lisp folk spec ? ("<|3b|> mircea_popescu: links to spec in particular, + interactive paren highlighting")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so it appears that whitequark item is actually a many-channel log.
whaack: asciilifeform: gnat1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fdump-scos’ when I try gprbuild. gnat version 4.6 gcc version 4.8.4. I removed the command line option from the gpr file since it seemed to be just used for coverage tools. Then got error prefix of "Image" attribute must be a type in 3 places in blocks.adb ☟︎☟︎
phf: i know he talks on #lisp, but i don't have anything about him, i.e. i'm pretty sure he's not doing anything visible
mircea_popescu: other than some cannonical dood.
mircea_popescu: it's always everyone's turn!!11
phf: no, but i'll give it a try, i think it's my turn to attempt to invite a random stranger to trilema and see him run away in horror
mircea_popescu: phf dja have a conduit to invite him here ? i think smg wants to hire him.
mircea_popescu: i like the part where he explains why 2^32 scan being 1.6 seconds is not good news for scanning 2^32
phf: no, he's not part of the kommunity which is also probably why he doesn't suck
mircea_popescu: phf do you know this k-stz guy ?
mircea_popescu: prince of persia for z80 basically. epic for the 80s
phf: you never know with these things, but on face value it definitely is
phf: mircea_popescu: i like that video series, it seems so innocent
asciilifeform: tivation of the concern.'
asciilifeform: 'DAYDREAMER activates a top-level LOVERS goal because it is not involved in a LOVERS relationship, and one or more of its need states subsumed by the relationship are unsatisfied. A new concern is created and a positive motivating emotion of interest is created and associated with the new concern. The intrinsic importance of the goal is 0.9. This becomes the magnitude of the motivating emotion, as well as the current value for the mo
mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZf1DzJYO8o << so much toastmasters i'd love to hire this guy to read eulora things for me.
mircea_popescu: uncharacteristically, the snr isn't even terrifying!
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 16:45 ben_vulpes: whaack: i hastily stripped the cl i use behind mimisbrunnr for block parsing and transaction extracting into this tar for you: cascadianhacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/blockparser.tgz
whaack: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742543 << ty sir ☝︎
mircea_popescu: omfg their logs are terrible.
mircea_popescu: * Loaded log from Thu Jan 19 19:08:32 2017 << i guess once a year .
phf: ben_vulpes: sharplispers i believe is the #lisp crowd who maintain "abandoned" packages (mostly for the purposes of xach having somewhere to git clone things from for his quicklisp). i know xach, luis oliveira, and nikodemus siivola, the last one being a proper hacker
ben_vulpes: sure, tmsrification
mircea_popescu: then what's wrong with tmsrizing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes buit it ended up not being needed, the "community" "consensused" that "openssl is okay" np.
ben_vulpes: created messages that were undecipherable iirc
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nobody's rsa padding is worth two shits
asciilifeform: iirc 'libressl' was an attempted whitewashing of openssl turd by the usual suspects.
ben_vulpes: also ironclad rsa padding is notquiteright, trinque i believe knows a bit more
phf: yeah, was fixed in master, but not in quicklisp production, my point is mostly "what other wonders are there". like you said needs libressling
ben_vulpes: phf: do you know anything about the 'sharplispers'?
phf: maybe, but only as "presented as found". froydnj said in a few places, that he doesn't think ironclad is there yet as far as being used for production crypto. and we had a thread (with ben_vulpes) where we discovered that sha512 (!!!) had a bug
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
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: if 'ironclad' is a worthy thing , it oughta be genesised
asciilifeform: and incidentally if phf knows this, possibly he studied it and is ready to genesis his personal copy ?
phf: asciilifeform: no! you keep saying that, ironclad is 0 ffi
asciilifeform: phf: iirc the sha256 in 'ironclad' is simply a c wrapper around turdssl
phf: asciilifeform: i recall their being tight hashing code, but every time i do the same thing and discover that it was sb-md5 (and there's a corresponding cmucl prior art), so no proper shasum
ben_vulpes: i figure you can stitch it into a fare-friendly (asdf) form, if you have trouble or its missing bits let me know, 'tis a very hasty rip job
ben_vulpes: whaack: i hastily stripped the cl i use behind mimisbrunnr for block parsing and transaction extracting into this tar for you: cascadianhacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/blockparser.tgz ☟︎
mircea_popescu: let's put in for teh logs : woe on the poor man, his oxen won't pull properly, his sandwich falls into shit and even when he fucks he runs into a rusty nail.
phf: "there's some gopher purists out there but don't pay them much heed. There's no one in charge. There's nothing keeping you from your next big idea. There's nothing to stop you from trying. And besides, most of us think it's pretty cool."
mircea_popescu: dja want translation ?
mircea_popescu: actually, here's what i meant : vai de omu' sarac, nici boii nu-i trag, ii cade pita-n cicat si cind fute da de cui.
mircea_popescu: phf the difference in tone from the exact same item pushing bitcoin forks is that the gopher forks people have no one to fear in gopher.
asciilifeform: phf: lol tolerasts
phf: asciilifeform: "Having to unfollow folks because I'm sick of cynical passive agressive subtoots." ""It will not hurt people who use gopher the way it has been used for ~30 years. It won't break things. Those folks can ignore what we're doing. This doesn't have to be antagonistic. If you don't wanna take part, that's cool! I'm not here to force you. Keep doing what you're doing, or do what we're doing. Either is wonderful" etc.
mircea_popescu: most parasitosis works that way, actually. there is such a thing as a rich guy's tuberculosis immunity. or, for that matter, aids.
mircea_popescu: lice too. which is why only "Some kinds of girls" get it in school.
mircea_popescu: this much is not actually true.
asciilifeform: nothing like a flea luvvvs moar than a yet-flealess dog
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 16:20 phf: re upstack, there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm still sad about that branson photo, every time i remember it, just have to shake my head
asciilifeform: phf possibly could correct me if this is not so
a111: Logged on 2017-10-02 19:09 mircea_popescu: sadly the story behind that is that denni parkinson was there with HER BOYFRIEND, who's some photog there to shoot some bs about branson's hobby (some kind of new and improved surfing)
asciilifeform: whaack: if you have the time, why not write a sha256 from scratch in cl. it's a needed, unfortunately, piece. and afaik there isn't a proper one published.
whaack: asciilifeform: okay I plan to use ironclad to do the actual hashing in the cl implementation unless there is a better recommendation
asciilifeform: whaack: if yer in a hurry you can skip straight to transactions.adb .
mircea_popescu: "mp is possibly not a millionaire seeing how he has girls combing the streets of poor countries looking for salvageable parts in the debris, as opposed to shooting photographs with the photographer's girlfriend like TRUE millionaires do"
asciilifeform: diana_coman and other ada n00bz may find the item interesting, it is a complete proggy ( in the bare bone sense )
