mircea_popescu: anyway, this is a thing of the 70s, mostly gone now. the modern northern "window" is so insulating
as you couldn't believe.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 21:53 asciilifeform: ~0 of which gets through typical lamp dome, just
as nobody gets sunburn from sitting near a window indoors.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 19:51 ben_vulpes: d'you want me to get you one
as well?
phf: but i've no idea what to switch to,
as per recent threads
adlai: 'standard' obviously doesn't cover many cases, which is why it exists
as a standard which can be referenced against.
mircea_popescu: without that - no stalinism. it's not
as if stalin is given, and if leningrad DID oppose resistence then stalin'd have landed the ufos. stalin had no ufos. in fact, had barely rifle.
adlai: seeing
as it's a tool, not a "manned missile" (spot the sauce!), scalpl's on vacation during the semester
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not even asleep. just, by now, barely reading adlai, the stubborn anal childhood is not nearly
as interesting
as the subject imagines.
adlai: sure, you can write the whole thing in forth (or lambda calc, or categories, or...), but
as the agent said to the provocateur - 'good luck'
adlai: students can build multiple impls
as hw, but anybody using a forkable client is taking a risk
adlai: but it's correct
as a version number, because consensus systems fail correctly together, and "history is written by the victors"
mircea_popescu: and how am i going to apply patches ? there's no such thing
as signature-equivalence.
ben_vulpes: there is some value in it but
as mentioned before i have a c++ itch what needs scratching
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi how php xors or if it even understands anything. implemented
as ifs.
mircea_popescu: calling it "state machine" is kind-of improper
as i suppose the result also holds state. a cleaner separation may be advisable, but w/e.
pete_dushenski: the worst part of medium is that the images don't archive. this wouldn't be an issue for most republican blogs seeing
as they're entirely text, but it's actually quite the bug for fiat writers, taleb included
mircea_popescu: anyway, the general idea above being : you take all the sane parts of working hash functions, and ditch the insanities. so - no magic numbers, inside boxes,
as boxes count, etc. use modulo-arithmetic and iterators, and one long cipher box.
mircea_popescu: it has the advantage that it needs an unspecified pile of memory (on average, half the message + half the message) for the state machine, and an unspecified number of operations (on average, 2x
as many
as message length).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw it occurs to me that your proposed padding scheme, while not useful
as a rsa padding scheme, nevertheless may be rescued into a very serviceable hash function, which has the notable property that a) acordion and b) user settable output size. something like this : let R be a ring buffer of
as many bits
as the user specified the output should be, let M be the message. let there be a one bit state machine S = 0
a111: Logged on 2017-01-04 10:33 davout: i don't really see asciilifeform's issue with large 'formatting' patches,
as long
as it can be mechanically established that the changes a patch brings do not change any of the code semantics there should be no problem with arbitrarily large patches
davout:
as a first step it can even be implemented without an UTXO index by address
davout: for the cost of a 20gb index the wallet code can be completely removed, and implemented
as a couple light scripts on top of TRB
davout: yep, same goes for actual walleting
as far
as I'm concerned :D
mircea_popescu: davout i meant
as far
as actual mining is concerned (in practice). by the time of the gpu era, most people ditched satoshi code for mining.
davout: i don't really see asciilifeform's issue with large 'formatting' patches,
as long
as it can be mechanically established that the changes a patch brings do not change any of the code semantics there should be no problem with arbitrarily large patches
☟︎ davout: ah i didn't notice the two lines merged
as one being seen
as a move
BingoBoingo: davout: Nah, just suicidal. So long
as some root survives tree has a chance of continuing to tree. Plane has no such faculty for continuing to plane.
mircea_popescu: you want it to go through a www page, find all signature blocks, and identify it
as a fingerprint then ?
mod6: is that the same
as the JET-A1 or whatever I sometimes see on the side of tanks?
mircea_popescu: so then use that.
as the spec says, m.t specifically left unspecified.
mircea_popescu: (the correct solving scheme is still
as i said back when we were discussing mempools, to keep track of peers (yes, by ips) and score them by the fees they bring your mempool. with this change -- that is even implementable.)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: it would be utterly nutso to consider an ode/fluids sim
as a hashing function, right?
ben_vulpes: horses and women
as opportunity presented
trinque: right, not
as if you can roll the aircraft when you're about to touch ground (intentionally!)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i misspeak, '
as an integer'
ben_vulpes: (fwiw i'm down to the last ghostly suggestion, which was to read in the hash
as a bignum)
davout:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-03#1595836 <<< my image is more like: "trb is this thing from which more and more is removed, until only the radioactive code consisting in ball of tightly packed hot wires which we proceed to put in a little box in which epoxy is poured, and is only interacted with
as some black box"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, one huge insert patch is still pretty dubious
as far
as paternity goes.
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-03#1595456 << "First, and obviously, since the majority of the students are going to get an A, he just has to do just
as well/horrifically
as the average student, and if they're all writing about slavery with the enthusiasm of a photocopier then if he wants an A he better buckle down and learn the truly useful skill of masking the words of a Wikipedia page. "
☝︎ mircea_popescu: all three queues to be implemented
as ring buffers of user specified size.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: davout: dunno, "just biked into office after spending
as much time with family
as i wanted o'clock"?
ben_vulpes: davout: i imagined this
as a component of bear stone and skin knife transacting
davout: downside of it is "node has to know which addresses to monitor, still has to keep clunk 'rescan' logic
as well"
davout: ben_vulpes: i'm listing it
as an option
mircea_popescu: fucking idiots, "oh, in this very narrow sliver of experience that is our irrelevant if self-important life, x observation held so far, especially because he have no fucking clue
as to statistics, logic, or anything else. THEREFORE IT IS A NATURAL LAW OF THE UNYVERSE!!!"
Framedragger: some airlines (such
as ryanair) try to stuff the user with tons of shitty offers before reservation confirmation page. horribru UX. such m0netizzation $trategy. imbeciles indeed :/
Framedragger: i suppose you also avoid the 'why does a multibillion clock machine lag on key press omfg' fail
as icing on the cake.
BingoBoingo: And in African it derives from the man Petrus telling the boy David that building is skilled work
as David plays gopher for Petrus's tools
a111: Logged on 2017-01-02 21:40 mircea_popescu: if the same archbishop inquires
as to why i poured cement the way i did i can answer without ado.
mircea_popescu: and since i'm on a moldy tome kick, let's note down ܝܳܠܕܰܬ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ie joldath allaho. in syriac. because yes, even
as egypt was mostly christian in its recent history (just
as all of the "arabic" middle east), allah exists in arabic
as a corruption of a syriac notation of a greek interpretation of a hebrew name for god.
mircea_popescu: why should it get to. nobody at the wheel, car goes where it pleases, horse shall graze
as it might ?
diana_coman: well, it started
as a set of holes in punch-cards - not sure what life support is that likely to get to
