diana_coman: ave1, my current solution is to pass the length as a separate parameter indeed and in addition to actually copy octet by octet; To_C and To_Ada still fail me on occasion so I can'
t really rely on them - this might be of course because I don'
t fully understand them yet; in any case, please write it up, pretty please
a111: Logged on 2018-02-28 15:07 diana_coman: ave1 have you ever passed a char * from c to ada in such a way that ada actually sees the correct length for it? there is something I don'
t quite understand there as To_C seems to use Target'Length so the length should be set
ben_vulpes: if my meatware differ didn'
t catch it coming out of my fingers the first time it likely won'
t catch it when presented with the correct version
phf: sorry about this, i haven'
t finished writing it, fat fingered publish button, and then couldn'
t figure out how to unpublish before it hit rss.
ben_vulpes: and in other offensively stupid crap: "The private key, or PIN is what gives your bitcoin its value...Digital platforms like Coinbase don'
t give users a bitcoin PIN" holy crap the word salad
mircea_popescu: ave1 i can'
t imagine what exactly you could use mbytes / second in an irc bot. i don'
t think my irc interface even seens kb/s speeds.

☟︎ mod6: One thing, I don'
t think I ever mentioned yet; I intend to fill The Bitcoin Foundation's board seat on Pizarro's board. Unless anyone objects to this.
mircea_popescu: the benefit is that it provides natural checkpoints when one's doing the books, so doesn'
t have to start from adam every time. eventually these run long, especially if one's active.
trinque: it spent their OTPs, but didn'
t perform the action.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-26 17:23 mircea_popescu: anyway, more generally, don'
t do the work-for-drawer idiocy. do things ; publish them, and so on.
mircea_popescu: well... it'll pass with me for fairytale reasons (irl i wouldn'
t have any reason to buy insurance on a fg, seeing how that'll be the day, and besides i got alf to squeeze ; but let's play.)

☟︎ spyked: mircea_popescu, do you mean the irc logger? well, I figured moar redundancy can'
t do any harm; and it started as an occasion to study the various ways in which common lisp can handle the various pieces (database, irc,
http). what I have so far is not very different from btcbase.org/patches/logbot-genesis , only I made it a point to avoid quicklisp and use manual imports etc.
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786219 <-- hey, that sounds like a really neat project, I wouldn'
t mind adding it to the list. on a related note, /me has been on a sort of semi-holiday for the last 2 months, which led to a lot of exploration on items of potential republican interest. e.g. the ada lisp scriptlang, an irc logger bot (which I could spin into a rss bot), the text browser thing and some out-of-the-blue ro-en Trilema
☝︎ mircea_popescu: well, it's a huge field, like a major cave-in you stumbled upon here. i don'
t expect it'll be done in one hack
mircea_popescu: well for one thing one can'
t /ignore the rss cuz of deedbot. it's a little much.
mircea_popescu: conceivably 2 should be a separate bot also ; but a) as long as tyou're maintaining both and b) they really need very much the same level of security and assurance, it doesn'
t seem worth the hassle.
mircea_popescu: 2 already works in pm, so there's no absolute reason shouldn'
t work in any other channel, if you're willing to put the work into that.
mircea_popescu: now as to 1, i don'
t think it should be out of chan, on one hand because "secret" deeds plainly don'
t make sense ; on the other because the voice thing is ~probably~ premature in channel that is both new and customer facing. but in principle certainly could in the future have local l1 with voice model for diff channel, i think.
trinque: I don'
t understand the question.
mircea_popescu: trinque what functions would work out of chan though ? seems the ones that don'
t work in pm (!!deed say) shouldn'
t ; and the ones that work in pm... welll...
trinque: don'
t know if that's interesting to pizarro, but it's coming.
trinque: I don'
t see why not, after I make sure other parts (voicing etc) work
mod6: (doesn'
t hurt if others do this as well!)
mod6: Yeah, but furthermore, I don'
t think the "no UTF8" rule had been established at that point.
mircea_popescu: chiefly because we didn'
t actually understand at the time what we were doing.
phf: i think right now the way things are implemented (that goes for btcbase anyway) you can have a chain, that links correctly, but actually doesn'
t press to anything at all like what the hashes claim
phf: i have a btcbase based test harnes, but it of course also didn'
t catch the issue, because it doesn'
t know about `\ No newline ...' in band thing either. it treats that line as a textual prelude to the next hunk which is a valid patch format
ben_vulpes: although perhaps i gotta sell it to you as i won'
t have a spare to fulfill that promise until the next run.
mircea_popescu: so what's the deal here : i pay for a year, at the price of 0.048xxx * 12 / 2 * 1.2 ; at the end of the year i don'
t own the machine ; but if it breaks down during the year you replace it free of charge to me ?
mircea_popescu: also, wasn'
t specifically a proposal ; was just an example, to get that ball rolling already.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so did you disable the me engine ? or "could be but hasn'
t been" ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-23 15:34 mircea_popescu: also ben_vulpes : the thinking over at s.mg is that we want a dedicated box for teh server plus a vps for holding the website and such things, so we don'
t have to eat the whole apache overload on the game server.
mircea_popescu: local receptionist girly (that's the supreme social achievement for the hairdresser class chickie here, being a doc's receptionist is almost as good as being marriewd to him) at the cima hospital (best in the country!!!) was utterly shocked when my response to her telling me the doctor who was like 10 mins late just called to say he's "on his way" but no specific eta wasn'
t "ok, ok" but "thast's unfortunate, i have other appo
mircea_popescu isn'
t just saying things, to fit in with the crowd or the fashions of his generation or whatever. literally, "help you achieve your goals".
mircea_popescu: truth -- the latins were idiots ; nevermind they didn'
t even have zero in their lol of a numeration system -- they didn'
t even have commas. or, for that matter, dots. meta-alphabetic notation (such as the dash here that permited me to ~signify~ something about symbol relation) is entirely a post-industrial invention. fuck, the bright minds of alchemy-era mathematics didn'
t even have =.
orgndnor: i don'
t use facebook or twatter, sir
mircea_popescu: the funny part isn'
t that he assumes we're heterosexuals ; but he assumes we know he's male.
orgndnor: it don'
t be like it is but it do
orgndnor: the way of the future isn'
t through bitcoin, sirs; blockchain, maybe, but crypto? pipe dream!
mircea_popescu: try and understand that taking refuge in a string of nouns after having pointed out to you that most people will just discard out of hand strings of epithets as pure painstuitola isn'
t the best of strategies.
mod6 is drinking a bottle of water after snow-removal. am quite stunned it doesn'
t say "Gluten Free" on the bottle.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 14:34 mp_en_viaje: so no, protected mode hasn;'
t become because it offered. the pantsuit decided it must be, and therefore prevented the non-mongoloid child from offering.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, i don'
t think shellouts PER SE are a bad idea, or the wrong thing, or untenable. much like the notion of building houses WITH DOORS isn'
t in itself problematic. now, what gets in through those holes, well...
mircea_popescu: also ben_vulpes : the thinking over at s.mg is that we want a dedicated box for teh server plus a vps for holding the website and such things, so we don'
t have to eat the whole apache overload on the game server.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem, x is "mature" rather than the abstract joke it was in the 90s, yet it STILL doesn'
t handle the most basic of things. which is -- just fucking rebind the pipes holy hell wtf, sigpipe is an acceptable behaviour now ?!
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 21:42 phf: we also at some point had a thread, where i believe ascii but also others were leaning towards the idea of a single file vpatches (i.e. that a vpatch should only ever contain hunks for a single file). i'm starting to think that multi-file solutions in general are a hack ("we can'
t fit the entire compilation in memory"), but then i've been looking at TeX on one hand, and the "millions of support files" in diff/patch on the other
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-22#1785621 <-- ugh, my engrish; of course, by "highlighting" I mean "text selection", which is a GUI thing, and w3m and lynx/links seem to lack it altogether. now, scrolling they don'
t lack, but the js bit still doesn'
t implement window.scroll. anyway, let's consider the fact that text editors implement both selection and scrolling (and possibly other features useful for a browser), so a stripped-down text
☝︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile being able to authoritatively answer "buy X, not Y" is very valuable, because unlike the above scenario, where time you expend actually dampens republican affairs (as for every dT you put in, everyone has to put in some d'
T as well), this on the contrary leverages : for every dT you put in, everyone DOESN'
T have to put in some d''
T.
mircea_popescu: as in any case the E' will have to be resolved by recourse to the forum, and as b) is not all that insignificant, the dT investment is a poor usage of your limited
T resource.
mircea_popescu: then later, events E that fall within W will take (putatively) less time to resolve than events E' that fall within the epsilon ; however a) the probability of E'/E is not equal to the factor R/epsilon (but worse) and b) all this requires people actually read W, which is a cost (leaving aside how it's also something some won'
t pay).
trinque: kernel for machine M1 doesn'
t need any extra code present for drivers for M2
spyked: and there are other things missing, e.g. links2 doesn'
t do regex parsing.
spyked: shinohai, my guess so far is that text browsers completely lack window interaction (e.g. scrolling, text highlighting), so they can'
t do the Trilema bits. but I want to be able to give a proper answer, which requires a bit of debugging.
spyked: hi shinohai. I compiled it and ran it, but running trilema js still doesn'
t work. I've also tried a few other browsers with similar results. I am trying some simpler js snippets to get an idea of what works and what not
spyked: hey mod6, I just checked v99993 using ffa ch1-5 and also used it to test a press of phf's vtools and it works fine. NB: Debian systems are now pretty much broken and won'
t allow setting the default gpg to v1, so I had to manually replace the gpg calls in v.pl to use gpg1.
mod6: jurov: I sent an email to the ML, but isn'
t showing up. I can confirm that the clearsigned data verifies on my end.
ben_vulpes: btcvixen: can'
t even afford an irc client that stays connected all the time, can you
mircea_popescu: oh, and also, the police here utterly don'
t gaf. car doing 150 in an 80 zone, highway patrol right there, couldn'
t be arsed.
mod6: alright! My bad before, that problem wasn'
t an "error" proper, it was a Warning, a Warning in 'error.c'. If I'd read more carefully I'd probably have noticed.
mod6: fwiw I used that binary produced, even with the error, to test and see if it would yield the same vdiff as the original would, and so far, looks like it works just the same as printed on the box. I don'
t have as good of a test case as hanbot will have tho. Mine was very basic.
lobbes: mircea_popescu: aha. Other than the subj. popping up in logs occasionally and my looking it up I really don'
t have a firm grasp on merkle trees. I will happily digest and produce blog post once completed with homework.
mod6: Wasn'
t actually too much later I was walkin down the street in Tucson thinking... "I wonder when someone is going to make a currency out of cryptography like Schneier was talking about in Applied Crypto.."
ben_vulpes: i've not been on fetlife in some time so i couldn'
t say
mircea_popescu: we don'
t give a shit about your persona. for one thing it's not even remotely acceptable, let alone cool.
mircea_popescu: but... they didn'
t use it, and it doesn'
t work anymore, and they're quite happy together.
shinohai: I don'
t think people do any actual research anymore tbh.
shinohai: trinque: plz to check my deedbot tx when you awaken and ensure I didn'
t bork something? Thank you.
mod6: mircea_popescu: That might be something for us to consider, I do believe that ben_vulpes said he would handle this himself, at least for now. I guess there no reason why one couldn'
t be brought on later if the labor involved in that becomes to great for the operations manager.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 20:21 trinque: this thing doesn'
t need any more chatter; let the parties working work, and see what comes of it.
mircea_popescu: and if it does, it does you the great favour of rescuing the future you'd have poured into something that, in the cold light of day, wasn'
t worth it.
diana_coman: but again, adacore gprbuild, I can'
t vouch for any other version atm
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i hadn'
t disclosed that yet, at the time of purchase it seemed appropriate to disclose in the monthly
trinque: ben_vulpes obviously said it better than I could have. the foundation's interests are in bitcoin; couldn'
t be more broad a justification for involvement in society as the chairs deem.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think it's undefensible in the least to say "well, item x has to work, we can'
t deny it capital, so we're there in the front line". which is kinda what it came to.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you can'
t have multiple managers. there has to be a guy that stops the buck.
