a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 19:50 diana_coman: mod6, a stake in something is never "debt only" really the way I see it; honestly, would you offer to take an "iou" while at the same time being totally unwilling to even give advice if asked?
mod6: I have too, and I recently read the entire thread on diana_coman's blog too. The whole thing. I know shortcomings have impacted lots of things. He's not the only one guitly of that. And even though I don't excuse anyones failures, I'm going to forgive. We've gained more than we've lost. In my estimation.
trinque: earlier diana_coman's bitching they didn't define the day-old business venture. now you're bitching they didn't tell you why they chose that definition, a few hours later.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 15:22 BingoBoingo: diana_coman: The new management is working out the details for their clean takeover of the remains of BBISP as a new venture. I defer the revelation of details to management.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, ahahah; ftr though that is ...true from all my experience as it is, yes << Living in the hostel, you observe this a lot.
mod6: diana_coman, hanbot, same offer stands to you as well.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: One thing I've learned people watching here... It turns out boys are the shy gender. ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i cannot offer anything with which to disagree.
mod6: Debt, is debt diana_coman. Nothing more.
mod6: diana_coman: I don't see how a new venture is better off saddled with debt to it's former master. It was to be successful, it needs a fresh start.
lobbes: diana_coman has it I think; why "split" resources when moar brains = stronger republic
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a painfully pedantic description of the new isp will be published. and available for commentary.
mod6: diana_coman: All of this is in the logs, and on trilema "Don't have time to be a mommy", et. al.
mod6: If the notion, ``there is no future for the republic without an isp'' (http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783471) holds true, and mircea_popescu, hanbot, and diana_coman wish to see the Republic continue, we should all be putting aside differences to further the Republic. ☝︎
mod6: On a personal note, regarding "patience and support", I want to let it be known that it will be very hard if not impossible to make the ISP venture a success without the support of specficially, mircea_popescu, hanbot, diana_coman - and ``Minigame''. We need your business here.

a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 10:40 diana_coman: mod6, mind giving a bit more detail regarding the business+technical side?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 17:58 diana_coman: yes, how big is not a head count strictly of course; put it as how powerful if that is clearer
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 17:54 diana_coman: in other words this can be put as: tmsr's l1 atm is not big enough yet to support an isp of its own
mircea_popescu: the sizes note the message size, which is to say how many bits to lop off the end. this has specific benefits over the (deeply inept) scheme gpg currently uses ; they'll be discussed in the usual diana_coman post on the topic.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 22:06 diana_coman: in other issues: rfc on oaep for tmsr, see http://trilema.com/2017/tmsr-rsa-spec-extremely-early-draft/#comment-124596
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 10:58 ave1: Hanbot and Diana_coman, I thought so too. The past couple of days has cost me a few nights sleep. My thoughts here: http://ave1.org/2018/from-the-proverbial-peanut-gallery/
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that was the openproblem that produced the thread which ultimately turned into mp's-hash etc
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i meant, in sum
asciilifeform: diana_coman: could be enuff. depending on what people are willing to pay.
ben_vulpes: diana_coman: i've only tallied up ~1.7k/mo in l1 space rental
asciilifeform: diana_coman: dare i ask if you have a theory of how a bisp could stay in the black without taking heathen coin ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there's two problems , 'technical' and 'business'. technical is solvable. the part that bites, is the 'business'
a111: Logged on 2018-02-13 07:56 diana_coman: I admit I don't really get what the sticking point is there in asciilifeform's calculations: the potential tax on shipped equipment? the cost of BingoBoingo ? the cost of racks? not enough sure revenue (how the fuck)? what?

a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 17:47 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, well, if input+output are considered at octet level, there is a case to say that reading out of the state is also done at octet level; I'll mull this over a bit longer re speed as such (for the word-level implementation because the bit-level is just as slow either way)
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 17:01 mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems to me on the first pass the winning combo is 1.1 / 2.1 / 3.1 ; the phf objection to bit meaning precludes anything else it seems to me ; with the exception that won't bit-extraction (3.1) be particularly slow ?
phf: diana_coman: output from powerpc g4, openbsd, identical to what x86 machine produces http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/nLkau/?raw=true

ben_vulpes: lordy boiling frustration in ch9, diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as a child i imagined that caterpillars grow linearly thicker, heavier, moar revolting, as you go towards equator, and there they would be python-sized
mircea_popescu: diana_coman they're tasty, sure, but believe it or not the little animal had a very distinct personality, in my hand.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ugly ?

a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 14:54 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, this reminds me of early attempts with Italian: when stuck, grab a Romanian/French/latin word, stick Italian ending on it and say it loud and clear; it the worse case locals will promptly correct it
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, is the "company" having your name or isn't this between latechco and your company or what? << At present due to the painful $900 lesson my name is my company, though it is indeed a legally registered company in Uruguay. Once I have a local ID (Hopefully sometime March-April) and I make another run at the corporation (because the provisional ID cuts the passport knot) it will be [insert aculturally relevant
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: It is eastern in a sense
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo phf trinque diana_coman so i'm thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i thinkl that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ? << Sounds a hell of a lot beefier than the Qntra server.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman the power diff is only about 10W. the 6376 does have 16 cores, but then again 8350 is 4GHz vs 3ish...

a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 18:45 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-14#1751463 << it does exactly one fucking job. this one : diana_coman please don't talk to asciilifeform or take any further advice from him. total timewaste.
mircea_popescu: !!pay diana_coman 0.81
asciilifeform: hey gabriel_laddel -- other than substances... do anything noteworthy in recent times ? ever read ffa series ? interested in s.bisp ? read diana_coman's www ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 21:24 phf: diana_coman: ty, i'll try wiring it in, and keep you posted. i assume ada<>c interop is pretty straightforward, though i won't have a chance to try until later next week. suddenly busy

asciilifeform: diana_coman: in some applications, speed doesn't really matter almost at all. and in those, it is even now possible to, e.g., take ch5 ffa for rsatron.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the observation re 'take as much speed as you actually need, but not more, if costs ugliness' is correct and is in fact the basis for ffa
asciilifeform: diana_coman: http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/05aarm/html/AA-B-2.html
asciilifeform: diana_coman: neato
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'gnat-specific methods' link broken
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i meant specifically when loading via ip
asciilifeform: diana_coman: slow to load but i suspect that it has qntra hardcoded links and yer browser sits and tries to resolve and fails
asciilifeform: phf: worx with variable success. didn't , for instance, for FG to diana_coman
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ok but not too long. one night stand!
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : hey diana_coman it is upon you to produce a dreamspec eulora machine nao. hit me.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 20:02 diana_coman: re nodes: mine is still there but still not at the top; I even pressed and ran asciilifeform's patch but it's unclear to me if it helped tbh; I admit I did not have much time to really dig deeper there exactly
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 20:10 diana_coman: ah, that must be it then; no ssd :(
spyked: diana_coman: here's the output: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Nlokl/?raw=true and the script I used http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/z0nep/?raw=true it would seem ngnix expects user agents to meet a particular spec (that I haven't figured out exactly) before delivering pages
spyked: diana_coman, yeah, but your webserver is ultra-conservative on user agents. :) the one from http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773164 didn't work, so I faked one from an existing browser, which eventually did the trick. (nb for whoever wants to craft xml-rpc requests manually) ☝︎
mod6: hi diana_coman
a111: Logged on 2018-01-26 05:06 mod6: and it goes back to the same thing as with diana_coman. having two '++' at the front of the line. the way the vdiff is written, when it passes the diffed file off to awk to pattern match the ---|+++ it adds that '+' in the front, then it matches, causing it to call sha512sum.. which is where the false comes from. I think.

asciilifeform: diana_coman, mircea_popescu : that was my only hypothesis. i haven't another.

asciilifeform: ( i recommend to diana_coman and even to mircea_popescu to read the linked doc )
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i would right now like to, for a great piece i'm writing, link to "The choice of Ada as programming language for this implementation" specifically out of all http://www.dianacoman.com/2018/01/25/eucrypt-chapter-7-keccak-sponge/ because that's the sort of fine tuned context linkage i use. wut do ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the short version is that the cpu is a physical object. this is an eternal and incurable headache for programmerz, yes
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you can't 'check endianism', you gotta know from where the input came to know its endianism
asciilifeform: diana_coman: all of this being said, if you can guarantee that the endianism of the input matches the endianism of the roundconstants -- you get correct answer. otherwise not.
asciilifeform: nao diana_coman knows why asciilifeform favours crackpotteries like numbertheoretical hashing etc.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as your proggy is currently written, it is only sensitive to endianism mismatch between the inputs and the endianism of the machine on which your proggy was built ( i.e. in which the round constants are stored ). this is not curable at the program level .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: is your current hypothesis that the iota operator is endianized ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: BitsToWord and WordToBits are not endianism-sensitive.
asciilifeform: i'ma read diana_coman's proggy and come back .
mircea_popescu: diana_coman doesn't know that she doesn't have one.
asciilifeform: before we start feeding asciilifeform's machine arch crackpotteries again ( he dun mind at all..) let's determine whether diana_coman actually has an endianism problem ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this part i cannot cure , hashing as it stands is an exercise in voodoo
asciilifeform: diana_coman: endianism only comes into play if you address individual bytes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman : if you don't byte-address, it does not matter whether you use constants, you are not endian-sensitive
asciilifeform: diana_coman: waitasec : what makes you think that your keccak is sensitive to endianness ?
lobbesbot: Logged on 2016-01-23 23:05:59: <diana_coman> I suppose on really short ones there isn't enough time for all the faffing about anyway; the io thing is 100secs in my books
lobbes: http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-01-23.log.html#t23:05:59 << oh hey. looks like diana_coman actually wins 'faff' title - jan 2016!
mircea_popescu: in other news, diana_coman now using "faffing about" ; trinque prevails linguistically!
