mircea_popescu: yes but what's he to go on.
sina: mircea_popescu: if you look at the line above for "MP kicks ass!" from your PHP impl
ben_vulpes: at sixty four bits and hashing the character a.
ben_vulpes: fwiw with that change it *now* matches the output of my implementation.
sina: if not, I need to update the python one too
ben_vulpes: oh that's not a builtin aha
sina: because the format string used drops the leading 0
ben_vulpes: i mean i don't really know what you're getting at, but why is the length of the bit array resulting from eating a single char 7 and not 8
ben_vulpes: yes but why is the length of the array of bits seven and not eight
sina: so I tweaked it
sina: so when I was building it, I was trying to match the "MP kicks ass!" output, which starts with a 1 in the example (and IIRC when I did it in python)... the original string I had was printing a leading 0
ben_vulpes: naively, i'd expect that to be [0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1]
ben_vulpes: just running fmt.Print(M) downstream of the toBinArray call
ben_vulpes: getting odd results when i do some baseline poking, a message of "a" prints a toBinArray value of [1 1 0 0 0 0 1]
sina: that and dependency management are the two weakpoints of golang I feel
sina: I just find it really annoying the way they do it
ben_vulpes: i can handle tooling, ty
sina: you need to set a GOPATH variable, e.g export GOPATH=~/Development/go and then clone the repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/sinner-/mpfhf-golang
sina: last I looked it was missing a bunch of the code
sina: ben_vulpes: sorry I don't think it pasted right
ben_vulpes: oh hm repo has something entirely different from trilema
ben_vulpes: sina: how do i build this thing
ben_vulpes: they're not errors in copying, they're built in tests of the copier!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yah but why make another slut, just reuse the extant one lel
mircea_popescu: tis in teh logs!
ben_vulpes: in re candi_lustt, i'll point out that anyone in l2 could trivially reproduce her elsewhere, if phf's examples didn't drive the point home
mircea_popescu: certainly premature to inquire in the matter.
trinque: sina: it does in that nothing stops you from copying the wot sexp at an interval, doing whatever things your castle likes doing with the output
sina: so does it federate trinque?
sina: "maybe deedbot does something similar to what I was thinking"
sina: see this was the original source of my questioning
mircea_popescu: in fact, deedbot was intended to be federated from the get go... or in fact no. the item deedbot replaced because the operator got syphilis (ie, assbot) was created specifically because failure of previous item (operator travelled unexpectedly, thing went down -- tis all in the logs) and was intended to be federated from the get-go
sina: sorry, that was just me trying to troll you
mircea_popescu: sina and if it becomes an issue, it can be logified. the logger was originally single item you know.
mircea_popescu: unlike the github cathedral-of-garbage-built-by-anonyous-rats-randomly-ambling about, there's actual people in charge which means the buck always stops somewhere. so it's not exactly "bug reports", it's more in the vein of "and here's your summons to parliament"
sina: trinque: you might not have the specific form of syphilis which induces number diddling, but can you protect against... COSMIC RAYS
mircea_popescu: or when candi lust was made, or when absolutely anything else tmsr-happened.
mircea_popescu: it's really not so different from yest when you and ben_vulpes were working on the mpfhf.
trinque: none taken
sina: no offense meant trinque, just a hypothetical
trinque: meanwhile sina, you get to discover whether there are such folks in the world as can maintain a db of numbers without diddling them... to think!
trinque: this, to someone with a brain, is ample incentive
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 02:13 mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1668696 << while I maintain the thing with integrity, I enjoy the benefits of a world where it exists and functions properly. ☝︎
sina: that reminds me I need to eat food
mircea_popescu: (and yes "multiculturalism" is the cheapo excuse of lazy stupid people to not have an actual culture ; much like "the convenience" of fast food is the excuse inept housewives use to not work the kitchen.)
mircea_popescu: the expectation that if you listen in a conversation of people you don't know you'll nevertheless be able to discern what is being said is pretty much THE thing distinguishing the esl anglotard from actual thinking people with a functioning head and part of a culture etc.
mircea_popescu: "oh but he said nigger 85 times!!" "yes but he just uses that to denote tomatoes."
mircea_popescu: the reason textual methods do not work in practice is... the indirection layer. and so on.
mircea_popescu: thyis is a fractally repeating point : the reason "social learning" as modelled by redditards doesn't work irl is the indirection layer. the reason gossipd is undefeatable in practice is... the indirection layer.
mircea_popescu: for perfect meta : re the matter of whether there is or there is not substantial disagreement, we aren't yet disagreeing. so far we're just trying to come to terms.
mircea_popescu: there's a process to working out a mental image of a text. it involves inter alia building alternative models.
sina: mircea_popescu: there is 159 comments on http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't my impression there's substantial disagreement.
mircea_popescu: in fairness it's a large ball of yarn and while it flows splendidly from itself, nevertheless it does flow exactlty opposite to ~everyone's acculturation in the soviet empire.
sina: between how you view those discussions and for example, asciilifeform
sina: although there seems to be a huge amount of contention
sina: yes I have been working my way through those
mircea_popescu: review the gossipd discussions, they're instructive on the topic.
mircea_popescu: not really expect anything. people are supposed to do their own thinking for themselves. but i expect i'd notice if my ratings weren't right.
sina: I think I asked you this long ago, but you keep a local copy of the WoT and expect others to as well right?
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: exactly opposite of the imperial certificate bullshit, which is 100% george costanza going "it's true i did nothing all week, but bear in mind i am in the smaller office". ie, "can you doctor ?" "no, not rly... but i do have a doctoring CERTIFICATE"
mircea_popescu: the fundamental flaw in your earlier mental process, which is periodically discussed in the logs, is that you try to take trust as an objective. trust isn't an objective, the reason i trust you is because I TRUST YOU, not because deedbot says i do. and the ONLY use of the knowledge that i trust you is that you can ask me about you. nothing else.
sina: lets say trinque modified it himself because he got syphilis
mircea_popescu: in practice it'd likely look a lot more like hey trinque wtf is this, followed by everyone perking up and an answer of some kind being produced and so on.
sina: mircea_popescu: can you walk me through the hypothetical example case where you have woken up one morning and decided for some valid reason (e.g. deedbot WoT contents no longer match your local copy) that deedbot is no longer trustworthy but urgently want to enter a rating for me of -10 into the public record?
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the problem with cardboard is keeping it painted
mircea_popescu: much like "wouldn't it be cool to make cars out of cardboard, they'd be easier to paint that way" misses the whole car thing
mircea_popescu: i think the idea discusses an item not related to the actual item.
sina: reading now, so you think the idea contravenes those principles?
sina: is that the deedbot.org/help.html page?
mircea_popescu: did you read an' understand the "what the wot is" article ?
sina: because I didn't know, maybe deedbot already does this kind of thing
sina: not arguing this should be done, only relating the source of my thoughts which lead to the questions
sina: the basis I guess is, substituing the trustworthiness of a single bot with a cryptographic chain, being able to run your own "full node" of the WoT, which gives access to secondary/tertiary networks to participate via a gateway, etc
mircea_popescu: yes, but for the things in your head to be called thinking, they must proceed form a basis. what is here the basis ?
sina: because I sometimes think things? :P
sina: the reason I ask is because last night I was thinking of a more coin style WoT, where everyone runs a node, there is an immutable shared log of ratings
mircea_popescu: now, the formalism for recording that rating currently in overwhelming use is !!rate. there is no rule that thios must be so. it is currently so for convenience, and because deedbot is trustworthy. either of these can change, but this would affect little : the party who trusts you can enter that trust into the public record through whatever command
sina: not saying that is good or bad, just asking in the general capability of the system
mircea_popescu: to enter the web, you have to have a rating.
mircea_popescu: you're conflating things.
sina: (deedbot being the root)
sina: um...as in, the logical topology of the WoT is a ...web... but to join the web you enter via a tree structure where the root is master, and all other nodes are slaves
sina: so (and maybe I am missing the point), you can't really "run your own node"
sina: but, deedbot doesn't slave to anything itself?
sina: and I noticed you can ask it for an S-expression of the entire WoT, that's cool
sina: so is deedbot the canonical WoT source?
sina: hey I was going to ask about WoT
sina: I have a fierce craving for burger today
mircea_popescu: no. for one thing my beard's way cooler.
sina: I dunno, I feel like it's a bit in the vein of "winblows"
mircea_popescu: i mean, "i dunno what's with todd these days, he keeps fucking all these latrinas"...
sina: haha yeah, here "down under" is literally burned into the subconcious to mean "Australia" so we don't grok the phrase the same way
sina: mircea_popescu: haha do I dare ask the meaning of "anal day"?
