davout: didn't fully sync?
ben_vulpes: it's like omfg even aws is barely 10us/mo for a vps you don't have to trust
luke-jr: I don't trust colos.
luke-jr: no problem besides AT&T
luke-jr: I saw the link. didn't see a problem.
ben_vulpes: luke-jr: i know you're awake and reading this because you pm'd me. don't pretend otherwise, it's downright foolish.
ben_vulpes: wait phf hang on no i don't think i'm going to do the largest common, i think i'm just going to use the output of patch to figure out what was actually patched
phf: i noticed that btcbase supports filenames with spaces in them: if you start a filename with " it will read until a closing ". i have no idea where i got this from, because gnu diff/patch don't support spaces in names.
phf: huh, apparently plan 9's diff/patch doesn't even implement unified diff format
ben_vulpes: phf: i actually can't get patch c/old.lisp and d/veh.lisp to apply derp.vpatch
phf: but i'm starting to think it's an overkill anyway, because it doesn't accommodate for all possible insane patch inputs.
ben_vulpes: phf: patch will apply something cleanly with mismatched depths, won't it?

phf: also i learned long time ago that americans* aren't taught how to argue properly, so when they do they have a really hard time keeping the thread, keeping more than one point, developing an argument, bringing it back to original point, etc. consensus intelligentsia are all very civil, so when you do get them railed up, they just flail, sort of discourages from even trying

asciilifeform: if drum printer dun go 'bang' when it gets the octet - it ain't 'printable.'
mircea_popescu: if it starts with picture it can't be a part of this discussion.
mircea_popescu: we still didn't see the profiling for the symlink thing\
asciilifeform: yeah but one that doesn't motherfucking grind to a halt when read 1000/sec omfg ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no, it is specifically 'doesn't work because ~nearly there is a cock-shaped shadow~
mircea_popescu: and gtfo with the inept simile, the correct comparison is "imagine if your cock didn't work if there was already one in the target woman". which i bet yours doesn't, so really.
asciilifeform: imagine your cock didn't work if 10,000 others in town were in use.
asciilifeform: trinque: mircea_popescu will probably barf if the 2 genesisen get displayed on same screen. it isn't an eggog in vtronics, but is in his head.
trinque: and the answer is don't

asciilifeform: and it isn't clear what will happen in re miners, for instance, when it does.
asciilifeform: but it isn't happening tonight.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 02:39 phf: http://btcbase.org/patches/hashes_and_errors#L118 you don't really want to do this. you're subseq'ing there to strip the a/ b/ but that's not at all a guarantee! i have a vpatch with `diff -ib -ruN /Users/pf/cmucl20d-build/src/hemlock/abbrev.lisp src/abbrev.lisp` in it for example. at the very least you want to abstract it away into its own function. that would correctly operate on a hashed-path datastructure.

mircea_popescu: this'd make some fine subject of a priority work order, the only problem is that it's so intricate and we aren't fans of doing the work n times. but once trb sits down on a sql-fs it would all fall in place.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i don't disagree from a philosophical standpoint but nor can i tolerate having dead fucking trb nodes. that i should have to reboot a machine ~daily~ is the death of bitcoin. yukoners never had it so bad.
mircea_popescu: don't ask, live longer.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski there's really no good reason to not serve arbitrart txn data. the fact that "modern" prb nodes can't support this is entirely their doom.

pete_dushenski: the above is a snippet from the debug.log and the result is a ~frozen machine. doesn't respond to rpc commands the way machines blackholed by, say, 'askfor tx' does.
phf: i don't mean that the patch is called "genesis", i mean that the concept is called genesis, so there's no need for new nomenclature like "true root"
mircea_popescu: wasn't ever glorious.
mircea_popescu: davout you had it right the first time : what you bought doesn't exist.
davout: they fail to make the intellectual link between "software doesn't actually behave according to its documented behaviour" with "bug"
davout: when these monkeys get their shit rubbed in their face their answer is, I shit you not, "this isn't a bug, but we'll update our documentation to match the actual behaviour"
asciilifeform: noshit it 'doesn't exist', how can trading imaginary coinz make actual profit.
davout: it doesn't occur to their two-cans-and-a-string fork that it can use the same fucking 10kEUR to buy back the asset I borrowed
davout: somehow, i now need to "borrow" 10kEUR to liquidate the position, because somehow, the result of the sale doesn't exist!
mircea_popescu: if it weren't so fucking hot.
mircea_popescu: heh. so bahamas shared his livejournal link with her flame, except putin didn't give a shit so now she's messaging all her friends on instagram about it ?

asciilifeform: !~google don't impeach impale
asciilifeform: aaah if we're talking about fyootoor laws, then 'don't impeach! impale!'
mircea_popescu: what, does it say in the constitution they can't ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-29 13:10 mircea_popescu: there's some talk of impeaching him next year just so he doesn't get to run for any office ever again
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the female mind, having betrayed the faith she owes the male, is taking refuge in teary-eyed imaginations of "sacrifices" ; in a defensive paleocortex process veheheheery well known by the survivors of the communist countries. "oh, those were the times, I HAD TO SACRIFICE" says every despicable old quisling whore. mno bitch, you didn't have to sacrifice anything, you're just a blob of fat. blobs of fat don't "sacrif
mircea_popescu: t about aliens."
mircea_popescu: there's some talk of impeaching him next year just so he doesn't get to run for any office ever again ☟︎
asciilifeform: it ain't x86 either
asciilifeform: and the blob isn't any format i know of.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 23:17 Framedragger: i wasn't going to show that she was doing good crypto. but this is definitely doing crypto :) (unless goalposts shifted again, etc)
phf: "a whistle blower leaked a video of the event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHSyySIECGE&t=2m3s"
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, was a proggy that doesn't even use tcp.
ben_vulpes: also mimisbrunnr irc component isn't wired up to do the talmudic recitals, so...
ben_vulpes: if you don't bottom it out it's not a proper test drive

a111: Logged on 2015-04-02 14:58 asciilifeform: 'Boneh, in joint work with Matt Franklin, constructed a novel pairing-based method for identity-based encryption (IBE), whereby a user's public identity, such as an email address, can function as the user's public key. Since then, Boneh's contributions, together with those of others, have shown the power and versatility of pairings, which are now used as a mainstream tool in cryptography. The transfer of pairings from theory t
mircea_popescu: "Complicating matters, the Trump transition team has not yet had extensive briefings with the White House on cybersecurity issues, including the potential use of the cyber sanctions order. The slow pace has caused consternation among officials, who fear that the administration’s accomplishments in cyber­­security could languish if the next administration fails to understand their value." << lulz. aren't they sweet with th
mircea_popescu: so if they weren't there - they weren't.
mircea_popescu: "the statement isn't made these are the best - the statement is made these are good. let any other good in their own mind prove this in their own ways."
mircea_popescu: moreover, defense of the "busy elsewhere" line does utterly require them ~to have done something~. which... "oh, i existed" isn't a doing.
mircea_popescu: that'd be a matter of perspective now wouldn't it!
asciilifeform: 'Code page conversion renders binary files unusable during encryption #169' 'Oh god. I don't know what to do here. Unencoded or differently-encoded data needs to undergo this conversion. However, there's no way to detect valid unicode… it's essentially arbitrary binary. I'm at a loss for what to do here, and open to suggestions.'
trinque just doesn't wanna see Framedragger befall the result of misplaced trust
Framedragger: i did learn that if i don't flush out the funny parts i'll just grow up to be someone with no interior at all. :)
Framedragger: right. and it's valid, i can't really defend it properly
Framedragger: (fwiw i wouldn't defend tptacek as much, at all, but i can see how these framedraggerisms can be related under same umbrella)
phf: Framedragger: it's always the same with you, "this online personality construct is great" "they do useful research" etc. until they publish "i don't believe in pgp" or really act in any way that you didn't expect. and then you don't have any recourse, because they are online personality constructs. how well do you know this "online researcher" if you ~having spent significant amount of effort to collect and upload ssh keys~ didn't even ☟︎
Framedragger: oh you're saying 'isis' doesn't have a good referent. i agree. she has a pgp key alright.
mircea_popescu: you haven't met her in person so you don't know.
Framedragger: you haven't met her in person, you don't know.
Framedragger: this isis girl in tor reads crypto papers and implements them and runs their bridges infrastructure which uses its own nifty things (hashrings for distributing bridge nodes etc), i'm quite certain she hasn't heard ☟︎
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's a fine lithmus test : doesn't know of phuctor by now, isn't actually involved.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1592214 << entirely possible folx weren't aware of phuctor, it's not exactly advertised much. (then again, cue mp's "they don't have a right/privilege not to be aware"..) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: also, that ccc.de thing doesn't load ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: recall this is the same 'red line' feller that can't tie his own shoelaces before insinuating that he's anything more than nyc corner meat-on- stick.
mircea_popescu: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-372256-highlight-epatchsource.html
asciilifeform: this is pure martian-level surreality: gnat-gcc-...[crapola].patch doesn't exist. but no package takes ownership of it.
mircea_popescu: possibly because the client gfx library isn't properly ironed out, tbh.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 0.4 BTC isn't thaaat cheap.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger all bureaucracies prefer evoting for the simple reason that "representative democracy" doesn't work anyway, and evoting is way th fuck cheaper.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform for example can't stand the prepared kind.
mircea_popescu: can't say rms / gnu is hindering them any.
mircea_popescu: if your criteria becomes "i won't do that because too hard ; and i won't do this because too easy" then yes you've just about described present day academia.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i'm sure i don't exist because schneier didn't invite me to the latest round of rubber chicken.
asciilifeform: i.e. 'don't exist'
asciilifeform: esp. because ciphers are a blindingly obvious 'political art', where if you aren't schneier et al, you don't get printed in journals, invited to conferences, implemented by open sores monkeys, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more dire, even, than this, we aren't dealing with 20 years of disinfo artistry, but ~70 ! hagelin, crypto-ag, etc. and the entire poppycock of transposition ciphers surviving into computer age
mircea_popescu: also about 2/3 of the nsa strength in practice, because outside of getting idiots to do idiotic things - they ain't got nuttin.
