phf: arbitrarily sized numbers are a variable sized type. gotta figure out ~some~ way of packing them. you're essentially left with type tagged size variation (if a byte is 0, then next struct is 8byte, if a byte is 1, then next struct is 16byte), but at the end you still will end up falling back to "read this number to know how many bytes to read"

phf: oh flag, lets you pass this stuff as a command line argument.. i guess this approach works too. i'm not sure why i can't just do message = string(dat) but i'm too lazy to figure it out

https://archive.is/lyT2j << "The American college graduate allegedly beaten to death by a gang of 10 people in Greece was an aspiring entrepreneur who was visiting the country to launch his own fashion line."

phf i would be friendly to the notion of a machine word yes.

phf: (all-exposed-functionality) -> ((gossipd:all-message-since "give me all the gossipd message since a certain timestamp") ((timestamp fixnum "timestamp (in seconds since epoch) since which messages") ...))
mircea_popescu:
phf serialization can at best be a packaging. the issue is, can i say "here's a function that takes a parameter and outputs "your mom's a python" and the data payload is function(is that you daddy)" in order to convey the string "your mom's a python" ?
mircea_popescu:
phf this is like saying "this website prevents xss by using base64".
mircea_popescu:
phf and the reason for this is that it tries to take it as code.
mircea_popescu:
phf i don't know if you can or if you can't, not sufficiently experienced with the thing.
mircea_popescu:
phf but that is, for the needs of this mental model, a broken machine. not broken data.
mircea_popescu:
phf your excited attempts at playiung with candi's ass, back when she was a virgin, is a plain and very obvious indication of what ~every lisp hacker knows but none dare admit, or think about. it's a fundamentally dirty language in that it doesn't, actually, admit there is even in principle differences between data and code. "oh, it's an array, and here's the associated macro, so this .dat file is actually turing complete". f
mircea_popescu:
phf no, i ~know~. he doesn't expect, i don't expect either, but the difference is im being actively optimistic about it.
mircea_popescu:
phf how does one node discover the other node's symbolic representation of the universe ?
mircea_popescu:
phf romanian girls look almost exactly like ukrainian girls. so is it normal for them to look turkish ? mnope.

phf: which made me think that hashes are typically implemented in terms of machine words, so you don't have this kind of issues. fhf might be inherently "unoptimizable" since units that it operates on must be bignums

phf: ah, so it's a subtle "what tenets would that be? handy if you made a LIST of them here, eh!"

phf: no, it's more like alfs rhetoric approach at some point was encouraged, where's now it seems to be recognized, and often treated with "oh it's just alf doing his thing".

phf: pretty sure asciilifeform is actively ignoring the whole initiative, with only periodic pounces. as opposed to his older strategy of annihilating the whole thing upfront. must be getting old

phf: sina: is that ^ a correct method?
mircea_popescu:
phf for my curiosiuty, list tenets and positive/negative effects ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was looking more for a redo of
phf 's very fine "xorg" speech.
mircea_popescu:
phf its actually both a pity and impenetrable to me, why exactly weird california never actually happy.
mircea_popescu:
phf are you intimating they're just letting me get addicted after which they'll reel me in ???
mircea_popescu: this is not said once, but multiple times and in multiple aspects ( take
http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ for instance, or
phf's comment re cyphercomms, or tons and tons of others), and it all comes to the same root : IF you engage irrelevancy, you will arrive at wrong results. IF you engage irrelevant complicacy, you will arive at an unwarranted misjudgement of yourself -- you will think yourself impot

phf: building wot for all comers will suffer the same fate as pgp. since nobody's using it, it turns into an arms race of easy to use, or "innovation" also known as masturbation over technical minutiae. i sort of realized this when i tried applying tmsr solutions to my cypherpunk friends: "no we don't need to research the difference between signal and telegram, just encrypt it to my gpg key and post it on dpaste or whatever." eliminated all the technical di
shinohai: Yeah
phf ....it's the heathen google plugin that came with gribble. I haven't bothered to fix, sorry, since I have a rewrite in the worx
mircea_popescu:
phf i kept telling the naive early adopter noobs that gifting coin is fucking dumb.
mircea_popescu: but
phf has certainly earned himself the right to make that call ?
mircea_popescu: what's the alfhf that goes from S = "
phf: why would you even." to H = "just as honest surgeon will not point to bangladeshis drinking from rivers of shit and call it 'alternate hygiene, just as good' -- i also will not" ?

phf: fhf implementation
http://paste.lisp.org/display/350018, this one just races against ben_vulpes's, i'll see if i can beat go version once i get to building go environment..

phf: but i use it to refer to intentionally or unintentionally naive code. like the kind of stuff you would write in BASIC.
mircea_popescu:
phf what it was that i consistently ; not what it is that i consistently was :D

phf you know it's whereas not where's.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-04 14:15
phf: part of spec as far as i understand it, that the (fhf mp ...) part is a canonical, but not the only implementation. so yeah you could write optimal version of mp's fhf, but it's not going to speak the same dictionary, and you won't be necessarily able to apply same optimizations to other (fhf ...). (or i guess you can, but require more cleverness than just etc.)
mircea_popescu:
phf whereas is not where's, etymologically or otherwise. i dunno if you know that.

phf: (funny thing re sbit vs bit, sbit generates immediate assembly, where's bit, in sbcl, calls out to a function named SB-KERNEL:HAIRY-DATA-VECTOR-REF. nuff said)
