asciilifeform: unrelatedly : hey mircea_popescu , didja have a torrent tracker ? i seem to recall in the log ( tho cannot find. ) or was it an in-house thingie strictly.
mod6: Yeah, I get the pizarro ip for both A and MX records. Just in case, I have posted the clearsigned report to my website for viewing: http://mod6.net/2018/December/31/btcf_address_201812.txt
mircea_popescu: i suppose the first step in the wonderful world of language is the kid's "what incantations do" rather than "what does this mean". takes a considerable time exposed to "she is your genie, ask what you will, she'll produce it" sorta situation for the former to mutate into the latter, "what the fuck am i asking these genies to do here!"
asciilifeform: incidentally i'll add that most published heathen ada proggies use c-style heapism, it isn't banned by the lang per se.
asciilifeform: Mocky collected the whole, iirc, set, i'ma link ftr to http://mocky.org/Log-Reference-Why-Ada/ .
asciilifeform: ( e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-26#1662671 , and other examples i documented in 2016-7 l0gz ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 20:00 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884103 << i think the logs reflect my thinking similarily at first ; but kinda dropped it also.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 17:15 asciilifeform: when i started with adaism, i initially found the preservation of indexing in array-slices annoying. but then saw the wisdom, it whips programmer into having a much firmer grasp of wtf he is doing.

mircea_popescu: Mocky we're in the same time distortion field. i recall people dead for centuries as if we just interrupted a coffee conversation days ago ; i forgot idiots i met yesterday as if milennia had passed.
mircea_popescu: poor danielpbarron, i'm starting to understand his problem : specifically because http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881534 ie much lower intellectual bar, it is actually WAY THE FUCK EASIER to sell his church than the republic, to the sort of random interneteer. memory vs thought, hands down easier to memorize than structure the world. ☝︎
danielpbarron: i did not tell him to join, and i have given up on reaching that crowd
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i wonder if the fella knows just what's behind the door he's walked into.
stratum: If individuals want to communicate using heavily encrypted sneakernet to avoid NSA goons, that is certainly okay by me. But I don't see that happening for the billions any time soon. ☟︎
stratum: Right now, for the billions, I think it is probably better than nothing, just like easily popped household locks. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
stratum: I doubt any locksmith, who knows how easily they can be defeated, is arguing against locks for the average person, grandmas, and such. It seems like the argument against https from the likes of dpb is an argument of this type, in my opinion.
stratum: Most people don't even have one "box" -- More and more browsing from their phones as their sole computing device, billions of them. I think there is a disconnect in what we're discussing: which is why I mention RMS and his helpers.
Mocky: also re bot, I do see the underlying problem that is revealed when someone says "oh hey, never thought of..."
stratum: I think most IRC people would be more concerned with some random internet jackoff fucking with them than GCHQ.
stratum: I do not recall any skeptical talk about rsa, though, I do think https can be valuable in attempting to mitigating some issues one may encounter, this is true.
stratum: i am a real person who has seen the wonderful dpb spread the gospel and came here to watch
stratum: i am a real person
a111: Logged on 2015-03-06 02:28 asciilifeform: 'On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.'
mircea_popescu: specifically : the oldest illustration of "robotics" in the charlie chaplin deeply misguided http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043874 approach (and yes, i am very unimpressed by charlie chaplin as the "intellectual great" pantsuit make him out to be, specifically because this sort of deliberate stupidity to cater to pantsuit nonsense dun count as wisdom) is an amelia bedelia-esque "person sent to broom will broom the room, r ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 15:31 asciilifeform: mats: i haven't built anyffing useful from ice40 with own hands yet. but, interestingly, when bought a 'scsi2sd' device for replacing disk in bolix box, found that author in fact used ice40 for the job
Mocky: oh hey, never thought about multiple skill dings, I'll note
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 17:01 diana_coman: cool; one day I'll make it to ch14b too, lol
asciilifeform: i admit that i'd be delighted to see apeloyee return ; he was '9000 level' useful d00d.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i do not know whether he tuned out entirely, or lurks, or which.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:59 asciilifeform: given as the fella didn't end up sticking to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884081 << any reason you believe this ? (i have nfi, there's some obligation to participate in the sense of weighing in on decisions for the lordship, but afaikl dude never was/wanted to be, and for the citizenry at large there's no such thing is there ?) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884068 << i don';t expect any of the ten thousand fly eyes has a dec, ever had a dec, or can come up with any actual use for a dec. or for that matter care to know whether their code doesn't work at all. different paradigm!!! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe, but maybe deep link to the something useful.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:36 diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can count on fingers of 1 hand how many times i dig up on 'lone man net' sumthing useful, in a yr
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884048 << oh i see. i just saw a "omfg my traffux" dork "blogger" typical piece, the numbers seemed low for a month of amateur bloggership so had to take a 2nd look, turned out they're FOR THE YEAR, what can yo9u do. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i won't know whether the 'constanttimeism litmus' actuallyworx, until i dredge up an iron where it outputs negative
mircea_popescu: in other news, i look at the time, and it's 13:37.
asciilifeform: that thing has stupendously loud hdd, incidentally -- i can hear it from three rooms.
asciilifeform: when i started with adaism, i initially found the preservation of indexing in array-slices annoying. but then saw the wisdom, it whips programmer into having a much firmer grasp of wtf he is doing. ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: when you read ch10, you will find that i had to rewrite some of the basic arithm logic, so as to remove dependence on indexing.
asciilifeform: if diana_coman et al find instance where i deviated from said convention ( and not fixed in current spearhead ) -- i would like to know about it.
asciilifeform: imho the de-facto convention i proposed is reasonable tho -- if the array is a local creation, and its indexing is known, then to refer to it explicitly is permissible. otherwise, not.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: in fact i did ask; and happy to have it.
asciilifeform: i took the approach where i built the thing maximally-compactly, and then proceeded in direction of 'now let's make it go in less than geological time'.
diana_coman: heh, talked in parallel there; I know and that's why I did not mention it at all at first; it was just because you asked for as much nitpick as possible, so now it's at least said
asciilifeform: as i've said previously, ffa post-ch6 is largely an 'uglification' to buy usable performance on pc.
diana_coman: re nitpick: in my code I tend to keep to XS'First..XS'First+X'Length but it does make it ugly & long
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, it was rather basic stuff but the fact is that I read Knuth ~10 years ago so refresh was long due
diana_coman: if nitpick at all, the one thing that consistently nags at me (though for which I can't make up my mind as to actual solution) is the implicit reliance on indices to be in fact starting from 1 when copying stuff e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians.kv#L187
asciilifeform: diana_coman: where at all possible, i tried to use ~simpler~ algo than what was given by knuth. e.g. karatsuba without moving pivots.
diana_coman: ftr I had to refresh a bit on Knuth Vol 2 at some point but I don't see that as a minus at all
asciilifeform: ftr i very much appreciate all nitpicks, even purely stylistic ones, an explicit objective of ffa is to be not only bug-free but entirely clean of sharp edges, to the extent possible on the available irons.
diana_coman: cool; one day I'll make it to ch14b too, lol ☟︎
asciilifeform: given as the fella didn't end up sticking to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out. ☟︎
asciilifeform: this, i do not know
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i fixed the links by hand, there were only a handful.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 02:19 asciilifeform: aalso i spoke too soon, it stops mid through boot, dun see cd drive.
diana_coman: np; and yes, I know how/why .kv
asciilifeform: but i'ma have to fix the links.
diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma have to fix by hand.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: hm , i thought phf had the older ones still in there
diana_coman: I was under the impression it moved

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i thought that was the substance of teh announcement :p
asciilifeform: aalso i spoke too soon, it stops mid through boot, dun see cd drive. ☟︎
mod6: How goes tmsr~? I ~think~ that I have a working wp-mp now. I've converted over my most recent blog post about diana_coman's V Genesis. If you see something broken, or similar please let me know.
mircea_popescu: "i know, minitel worked so well, let's emulate it!"
asciilifeform: i dunthink classic dec had this horror either (who the fuq! needs colour blinkies in a bios setup?!) , it's a post-compaq-acquisition box
asciilifeform: i only run into this when i pull ancient cursed irons from the dark depths.
mircea_popescu: i suspect a large part of why i like it is that i never run into this kinda problem. i had to futz about ansi terminal standards literally never.
asciilifeform: was hoping there was a simple 'vt220 rightnao' flag i overlooked.

mircea_popescu: but there's more to it -- running around the hillside belongs in the fucking hillside, i'll just not camp there.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883990 << fwiw i dun distinguish the 2 kabikus, both -- snoar from asciilifeform's pov ☝︎
asciilifeform: he report. from the age of five, i knew what is 'last round' -- the little shining key that opens in your skull (or heart, tastes vary) the door to soviet Valhalla. the pistol always seems to me not simply a personal, but an intimate weapon, a tuning fork by which one measured resolve: put its barrel to your noggin, and think, will you be able to pull the trigger when the right time comes ? the warring motherland , surrounded by foes
asciilifeform: 'i remember all of my pistols. there wasn't a single one that i hadn't blown out my brains with at least once. we used to shoot ourselves often in those days. pistols and revolvers were indispensable toybox inventory, all kinds : on batteries, with buzzing motors inside, of tin, stinking of burned popgun ribbon, ones that merely snapped, emitted at least a clanking sound, and silent ones, where the throat was called upon to imitate t
asciilifeform: the spring in toy 'nagant' notably, was quite possibly stiffer than in actual nagant which i fired many yrs later
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883983 << i defo had various as a boy ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 03:03 douchebag: I'm in AT&T Hall of Fame
BingoBoingo: I remember. They started to disappear from retail something around second grade when anything that wasn't Chicom plastic got purged from the walmart toy shelves
asciilifeform: came with buncha 'sample' dox crapola, but near as i can tell it's a snoar
asciilifeform: i've actually found decent (not constant time, but didn't need, it only checked sigs) rsatrons in malware samples -- kB or so of asm. it aint exactly mystery, how to bake
asciilifeform: what 'jobs' made of << i'm still stuck in 1990s, where they're 'made of' winblowz bugs..
mircea_popescu: biquarterly i get a "but mp, you know how you could really improve trilema readership ?! MAKE IT AN APP!!!" "why ?" "because i have unexamined headcockroaches about the influence, importance and interest of social media" "how about we put your cunt on your linkedin and see how long until someone says something ?" "FAPFAPFAPFAP"
asciilifeform: i thought it was a www '2.0' thingie
asciilifeform: until nao i had nfi there were ~app~ lol
mircea_popescu: here, have a recent sample : AL_GA_Peach 26F Exploring "The message literally cuts off after whatever it is you’re. I don’t know not having all of the information is a mark against my intelligence but okay."
mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer, i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are. as long as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.
mircea_popescu: hey, "nobody watches pulp fiction because [some anon schmuck claimed she was raped by] Weinstein", i actuallty heard this said (by some girly who never saw any movie worth the mention in her ~~~entire~~~ coupla decades. they say this, too, like it's a thing. "my whole life". )
asciilifeform: ok i cannot resist to bite; how does this work
asciilifeform: imho e.g. diddled pgp rng, is moar interesting than firefucks buffer overrun, the latter is used 9000/d but for whom is used the former i have nfi, it hasn't publicly leaked.
asciilifeform: eh the notion there from start was 'goodstuff is used sparingly'. but i've nfi where used.
mircea_popescu: i think of the various strange ideas you started off with, this "hitler is intellectually respectable, does great magicks" thing fared the worst.
asciilifeform: at some point i'ma do the bernsteinizer in straight asm. ( but this is ~9000th on the list of things-to-do atm )
mircea_popescu: that's what i mean, they're "clever"
asciilifeform: at some point if i can be arsed to read their sores, will find out what, specifically.
