asciilifeform: plenty of things just happily serve up a blank page to the archiver.
Framedragger: hmm. i suddenly became concerned with potential failed archival requests from scriba - will check log (iirc not many failures, tho - otherwise would know.)
phf: customary you put a few second timeout, but even that might not be enough
phf: after the events though there's still potentially a few ticks while js assembles the page
phf: Framedragger: in case of archive.is there's no "js emulator". it's proper js. usually what happens is that your browser sends various events when the network load is complete, and the dom is rendered
asciilifeform: if you want, whichever, the beobachter, or even 'arse technica', etc -- fuhgetit
phf: i've been browsing the web using dillo/netserf from openbsd box and realized just how broken it become compared to even 5 years ago. only places that you can still render on old browser are the backalleys. uncle al style homepages, tmsr, *chans
Framedragger: curious if latter is due to js emulator not being 'good enough', or blacklisting (who dares archive us!1)
asciilifeform: lately i've been seeing sites that yield a blank archive.is page.
asciilifeform: phf: this works when it works.
asciilifeform: (turn off js, and the text -- vanishes. store the js without executing -- the archive READER will attempt to load it ! from enemy ! )
phf: that's what archive.is technically does. the js problem is "solved" by letting the jser do it's thing and get the ~dom~ into some state. archive.is actually stores the resultant dom rather than original html
asciilifeform: the most egregious heathens ('mainstream media' organs etc) worked quite hard to make their www ~unarchivable, and largely -- succeeded
asciilifeform: rather than to try to get the text out in the customary way.
asciilifeform: i even suspect that the closest thing to a final solution would be the extract a ~bitmap~ from simulated browser, and then embed OCR info !
Framedragger: can also make irc-independent endpoint (http or w/e) which does WoT gpg challenge-response. prototype would speak a thousand words though, i suppose. :)
Framedragger: i.e., the interface of the 'is_this_request_coming_from_legit should not be too irc-specific.
Framedragger: but then if things are coded correctly, it shouldn't be hard to swap irc for gossipd later, imho
Framedragger: but i guess you're saying that this particular archiver would rely on irc state (otherwise quite cumbersome to do challenge-response per every url request), which of course is quite bad.
Framedragger: thing is, the irc wrapper on top of gpg challenge-response is *thin* (at least in, say, scriba), and easily removable/changeable.
asciilifeform: i'd like to see ~less~ reliance on ictronic quasiauthentication, not more.
Framedragger: enemy which knows and tracks this but which is not capable of extracting/tracking current requests to archive.is?
asciilifeform: there is NO reason to tell him ahead of time.
asciilifeform: 'in channel use' is problematic, because enemy then knows what is being archived.
Framedragger: all the*
Framedragger: archive.is already serves the "for the all peoples" function.
Framedragger: this was addressed, no? restrict to in-channel use, and/or l1+l2 or something or other.
asciilifeform: in practice there is an immediate problem , long before it gets owned, even
asciilifeform: that'd be the naive implementation , yes
Framedragger: ah. well, i can imagine a fleet of VMs (on an ok-to-be-pwned, of course) emulating browser for this.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: known bitstate, you mean, a unique fingerprint exposed to websites?
asciilifeform: ideally you want it running in a qemu-like thing with randomly-generated instruction set. and that reverts to known bitstate on every shot.
asciilifeform: i can think of 1 fairly easy method for rendering (there is , iirc, a 'headless chromium' or something like) but the problem is that if you run it on bare iron, it'll be perma-owned.
Framedragger: all doable, but relatively tricky (of the icky kind, i.e., one has to try out some things, and will end up with a set of semi-hacks due to webstack being one large hack.)
Framedragger: yeah yeah, and i recall discussion about how archive.is does this (phf had some notes), etc.; it's quite icky.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: imho it is tricky: you can't simply 'curl' or 'wget', gotta somehow render crapolade if caching heathen sites

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637536 << worthy project i think :) ☝︎
ben_vulpes: as soon as one attempts to spend from one of those hashed addresses you're in a race with everyone to get the txn confirmed though
asciilifeform: it is a little bit like saying 'if nsa finds algo that breaks 70% of ecdsa keyspace, the remainder is still ok and 30% of bitcoin addrs will remain safe, bitcoin lives on'
asciilifeform: but this is dubious imho.
asciilifeform: the traditional notion is 'ecdsa breaks ? folx who have hash-only outputs can simply use them as lamport signatures'
asciilifeform: just not with same end of the dildo
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the traditional explanation is, 'ecdsa break fucks people with known pubkeys, but not those for whom only hash is known'
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 13:04 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637547 << you certainly need the pubkey of the input address, which was back in the day the rationale behind the whole "don't reuse addresses" thing -- the pubkey of an address which has paid before is known ; the pubkey of an address which has not paid before isn't known.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, a couple of people asked for details and i linked them the logs, if noobs show up do me a favour and up'em.
mircea_popescu: i can't evaluate this./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so is your proposition that "marry good man ; make him good children" = same thought any bee'd think if born of Γιατί μόνο εσείς, οι Λάκαινες, έχετε εξουσία πάνω στους άνδρες ?
asciilifeform: if bee could 'hamsterize' like a human coward, would think same thought
mircea_popescu: this can be argued. but then again ~all war literature proposes the contrary
asciilifeform: the risk taken by soldier is just as imaginary an object.
mircea_popescu: bee takes no risks. got its recipe, follows it.
mircea_popescu: see, this is what i mean by problem : it's not even clear if this is a more-bee or less-bee characteristic!
mircea_popescu: it's for instance one of the best bio-based challenges to say rational economic agent theory.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't mean problem as in "bad thing to fix" i meant problem as in "legitimate topic"
mircea_popescu: it's (unsurprisingly) a male trait, and a young'un trait, which explains other things too
asciilifeform: not the risk-taking.
asciilifeform: problem is the modern 'everybody's a winner' nonsense.
asciilifeform: that ain't a problem. it's how the poison cherries get tasted, oceans -- explored, embrasures -- plugged
mircea_popescu: this is a fundamental problem in humans, that they'll take overdangerous work.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 06:59 mircea_popescu: they drew the conclusion that optionality is not enough, and work safety must be provided through regulation.
mircea_popescu: actually the first quote in there is vaguely covered in eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633686 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: supposedly this is an unsolvable dilemma, at least for any housewife that's never met the whip.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is how the middle class ended up poor : "a) we are living above our means and headed for bankruptcy, but b) our means are so disproportionate to our living by now that attempting to live within our means can not be called living!!1"
mircea_popescu: defeating a does not mean i'll now accept b, the whole fucking point is to extirpate the empire of stupid, not to drive in one branch by the measure driving the other out.
mircea_popescu: that thing is of two parts : a) broke your house and b) there's nothing else.
mircea_popescu: it's not like genuine science isn't made by genuine scientists. the pretense to the contrary is the other half of the scum delusion. cannonically "you have no option BUT to build raft out of lcd".
mircea_popescu: eg the one in fundamental physics i quoted above does include.
diana_coman: Framedragger, if it adds up to "only 30 papers in TOTAL" it means you are not going back long enough really
mircea_popescu: but not a bad review, certainly not wasted time imo.
Framedragger: yesyes that i understand. :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, the most this'll do is make feynman more dubious, not the anti-principle more acceptable.
Framedragger: and did calculations on computor, too (but not sure if relevant to any research)
mircea_popescu: i'd like to hear the return of that.
Framedragger: maybe. :) i'm aware that most of it is ~crap, but this is more like "99.99%" vs. 99%. also, i'll make a note to check if feynman included data in any publications which dealt with data (i.e. not only pure models.)
diana_coman sees a bit of a younger Diana's shock along the lines of "it can't really be true that 99% of the world I live in is actually rotten to the core" on re-reading Framedragger's replies
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: "of under the"
mircea_popescu: (for they who don't know, bologna is how you say baloney.)
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 14:32 Framedragger: that's a great stance of course, but i do believe that this disqualifies all but, i don't know, to speculate, "30" publications SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637792 << this for the record is quite false. there's a lot of research published, up until when the "our democracy" imbeciles saw themselves in the position of "running things" and they came up with the current pseudo-academic nonsense. i suppose "bologna system" +- a decade or two. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: was the lulz of all time, too. ~excel calculation.
mircea_popescu: yeah. well, it got force-published once, to much "unhappened" hangwringing and posturing.
ben_vulpes: there is that, doesn't change that sim is unpublished part of system on basis of which claims are being made
mircea_popescu: eh, people get actual climate datasets all the time, end up exposing "data regularization" in the sense of "our definition of average ocean temperature is = largest measured +3, wut, problem??" it gets reported, people who can think read, people who can't think upvote each other on hn, etc.
ben_vulpes: "138kloc of cpp written by grad students? that i can't have? that only runs on golden toilet supercomputer? mmmok"
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 14:43 Framedragger: right. (i think this concludes this discussion. i'm doing some mental gymnastics which are ~pretty shitty (i'm not ready to dismiss all research prima facie which may not link to raw data, and/or may have failed to mention prior art), and i will get rid of them sooner or later, but not yet. thanks for indulging.)
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637836 << it's basically the only criteria, it's why thinking people throw out the climate simulacra ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not like you have to, ever. for as long as you find it pays for you, by all means.
mircea_popescu: "oh, we said we were a replication -- just, not of the right thing!" , typical americana "this will hold until someone looks at it". from the legal system to everywhere else, country's chock full of that hopeful nonsense.
Framedragger: right. (i think this concludes this discussion. i'm doing some mental gymnastics which are ~pretty shitty (i'm not ready to dismiss all research prima facie which may not link to raw data, and/or may have failed to mention prior art), and i will get rid of them sooner or later, but not yet. thanks for indulging.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: if you cannot see this -- i cannot help. willful blindness.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger how the forklet of frauds is constructed exactly is of no interest. yes they keep coming up with mealy-mouthed ways to try and hide the fact that they';re dishonest. fine.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the entire purpose of that paper is to pour cement over phuctor.
asciilifeform: or the xray-from-scotchtape thing. (minor find, but exemplary of 'ru untermenschen can be safely stolen from')
Framedragger: last note mircea_popescu, paper in question does acknowledge the fact that as regards rsa factorisation, their attempt is a *replication* (unless i misread). but yes, should be beaten for not mentioning phuctor.
mircea_popescu: so it's not like i'm discussing "isolated incident". there's a very well established pattern of dishonest behaviour. not just at princeton, either.
mircea_popescu: of course replicating experiments are done all the time ; the important point being that they didn't identify theirs as such.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i guess may as well try, hm
asciilifeform: i had nfi that this was a deep and difficult hurdle for anybody here.
mircea_popescu: and since we're discussion princeton : i wasn't going to say anything (which is why i didn't back then), but when some guy found metallic H ( see http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628809 ) princeton idiots came with a replicating experiment and have been trying to replace the original author with themselves ever since. which is just about as shameful. ☝︎
