mircea_popescu: anyway. i guess nothing in the world is harder than fucking groking the http://trilema.com/2014/namecheap-goes-off-the-deep-end-anyone-know-a-decent-domain-registrar/ lesson. especially when one's dedicated his life to not ever groking it.
asciilifeform: not substantially different from other american 'incomes', e.g. lockheed's , ( i.e. usg prints printolade, sends straight to $designateds )
asciilifeform: hm i thought fetlife was the usual 'ad-supported' 'phree' crapola, rather than a pay www
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i had no idea how much i actually missed qntra. << Turns out it isn't absence that makes the heart grow fonder, but the return!
mircea_popescu: so big deal, right, i have more c blocks than baku had girlfriends. except, wait for it... new accounts require SMS verification! everything must be facebook!
mircea_popescu: i had no idea how much i actually missed qntra.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly not puting the "this is how it is" imprimatur on some training mock-up of v implemented by some new kid. and in general enough with this burning of steps in a hollow quest for equality, you're not phf, and there is ONLY ONE WAY to become phf.
mircea_popescu: esthlos i don't get it, you're going to take a stab "at it" ie making a textfile, the sort that only carries any sort of weight or importance if a) you're somebody and b) you're doing something important, in between whenever your fiat job permits you a few hours here and there ? ☟︎
esthlos: I can take a stab at it
esthlos: phf (or anyone else): is there a vpatch I can look at with the new format described here: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774760 ? ☝︎
esthlos: to answer http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786219, I'd like to finish my V implementation before anything else. ☝︎
esthlos: hi there all, sorry for going awol. I've been following the logs but busy with a new job
mircea_popescu: eh, i just want performance. they've got this thing now, where they're so desperate for cheap footage, they'll actually dress up athletes like they were people, seat them down in studios and make them talk.
mod6: fuck all social media, i want gossip
nonlinear: Oh, I hope an opensource flow for Xilinx is achieved.
mircea_popescu: aha. goes by mithro ; i pinged him with it.
nonlinear: Yes, that seems about right from what I have seen so far. Exploration is a good term, and enjoyable.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:49 apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764242 << do I understand correctly that there's nowhere to store the result, as there seems to be enough hw adders in an 'ice'?also, it seems that the same authors are trying to reverse some xilinx nao: https://symbiflow.github.io/
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in ##openfpga, "<mithro> mircea_popescu: symbiflow.github.io -- what I'm spending all my spare time on"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform got brought up in #picolisp which is why i bothered.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 16:20 phf: re upstack, there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same
ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-06#1787066, I'm from and in The Netherlands. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i expect porn is very much going the way of fashion, or academia : first, faggots get a hold of it, then... nobody would touch it with a ten foot pole.
mircea_popescu: i didn't know non-romanian speakers even knew the word "octet"
diana_coman: I am not using To_Ada or To_C so they can be removed, not an issue
diana_coman: ave1, take your time on it; just publish when it's ready and I'll give it another go
ave1: After that, as it turns out, ada still produces some code which is not supported by the zfp lib. I fixed some of this, but this is very much a build - add some code - retry cycle and that will take some time.
ave1: Well, maybe not so easy, I will publish patch (but probably next week)
ave1: diana_coman, I have a version that has both files, but not published yet. It is not hard to make, copy from the runtime dir the files: i-c.ads, i-c.adb (for Interfaces.C) and a-unccon.ads. Then edit i-c.ads and i-c.adb
a111: Logged on 2018-02-19 13:25 diana_coman: also: is ave1's blog in the rss list? I find it quite useful
diana_coman: trinque, what do I need to do to add ave1's www to deedbot's list? http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-19#1784953 ; I really would have liked to have seen http://ave1.org/2018/sending-arrays-of-octets-between-c-and-ada/ when it was published, last week; or did I miss it in the logs somehow? ☝︎
diana_coman: I'm using gprbuild 2016 with gcc 4.9.4, both from adacore
diana_coman: ave1, I tried compiling eucrypt & components using your runtime: need support for Interfaces.C (used by keccak/oaep) and Ada.Unchecked_Conversion (used by Serpent)
diana_coman: an atv as well I suppose, why not
diana_coman: I mean: get a motorcycle then, no?
diana_coman: heh, I still quite distinctly remember some crazy-speed-racing-bikes on those segregated paths; not exactly idyllic, no
ben_vulpes: look i'm not arguing that young me was particularly bright or that things have changed much, ok?
diana_coman: sort of the skiing of summer in that region I'd say; but to the point: cyclists are perfectly people but they don't ride alongside cars - why would one *want* to ride a bicycle among/between/alongside cars, it's nonsense quadrupled
ben_vulpes: woo i have the raid cable
a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 13:52 spyked: anyway, comment was that I managed to compile and run vdiff with small mods; error: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/BiBTI/?raw=true and fix patch: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/9mOiz/?raw=true (tested this with the generated vdiff); I can try to link this reply later in a comment to test.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-05 05:20 mircea_popescu: which i don't even recall, was it released yet or ?
mircea_popescu: sometimes i forget this land flattens out towards teh anus.
ben_vulpes: i'm going to go for the wheel-mounted blades
mircea_popescu: i don't see any fucking roman oxcarts plaguing the highways, and i'd better fucking not see any more of these hipster doofuses either.
mircea_popescu: fuck that dumb shit, i don't care some slick scammer sold them on the idea it's a conveyance. it's not more of a conveyance than any fucking kitchen robot, that also sorta-kinda moves around on the countertop.
mircea_popescu: so if one day i decide to play golf in the fucking road, that's it, everyone's stuck accomodating my 10mph electric golf cart (in the best of cases, but more generally my 1.2 mph half blind 165yo caddy) ?
ben_vulpes: also walking the list of craigslist server vendors emailing any that look halfway competent to see if they have what i need
ben_vulpes: that is one of the things i'm going to try, yeah
ben_vulpes: i have like 2 long shots to try tomorrow
mircea_popescu: i don';t get it, what's os installing to do with anything ?
ben_vulpes: well there are 4 ssds in the machine, i can install an os to one of them and let you mount the other three however you'd like
ben_vulpes: i deeply agree.
ben_vulpes: i can also abort this provisioning run and install directly to the ssd if you'd prefer
ben_vulpes: i apologize sincerely.
ben_vulpes: diana_coman, mircea_popescu: i apologize for the hysteresis in server specs, but i failed to procure the cable i need for the high-throughput raid card in time to board tomorrow. i'm provisioning the machine reserved for your use with a software raid10 for installation this week, but you have the option to wait an uncertain amount of time for me to get the cable down to the dc and reprovision it with a much
mircea_popescu: which i don't even recall, was it released yet or ? ☟︎
lobbes: though right now I'm still stepping through alf's v99 (v.py), which has been a useful learning tool thus far
lobbes: so my current side-quest is to get ave1's mp-wp pressed and working (I have php 5.6 on my test machine so this should come in handy). lobbesblog right now is all 'manual html' with 'manual comments' a la dpb's, so I'ma need a more automated comments/publishing mechanism anyway. This oughta kill two birds with one stone, with added benefit that I can publish a n00b guide with notes on journey.
lobbes: m going to be a proper Lord of the Republic, I need to be able to wield the most fundamental of Republican tools
lobbes: in lobbes' hopper updates: I think I will need to refocus on first wrapping my head around V before moving too much further with my download-archive-zips-o-tron. This is due to the newly illuminated (to me) causes of: 1) in order to solve the duplicate problem (which needs solving before I can ethically charge for files), I will -eventually- need to leverage Republican authored solutions (e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-24#1785983). 2) if I' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah i see!
mircea_popescu: "Virtue signaling persists only because too few of us are willing to speak out against it. The good news is that I've noticed an increasing amount of opposition to political correctness culture in the FOSS world. We're fighting back, and we're winning, albeit slowly."
mircea_popescu: i r entertaint.
cruciform: I am ready to pay tribute to the republic - please advise as to the address to remit payment
mircea_popescu: i dunno. diana_coman do you care ?
ben_vulpes: which is absurd for a wp, hence why i was just going to eat it
ben_vulpes: that box is hosting both qntra and pizarro's web presence, and then on top of that it's splitting a 1u with another piece of hardware (right BingoBoingo ?), so something hilarious like .003 btc this month? i was planning to host it as a service to the republic tbh, especially since the machine it's on is running pizarro's website as well
BingoBoingo: Fuck, I will get the numbers right. Was banged out immediately after getting Qntra box plugin ready.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-03 07:58 diana_coman: mod6, thank you for the detailed write-up on the vpatch issue; I'm not sure it makes sense or even helps to name as "chapters" fixes so people don't miss them in the future since this happened with the mpi_fix before just the same
phf: ty, also http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-03#1786835 is a solid scheme, and i wouldn't want to see it go, i'll just be more attentive in the future ☝︎
diana_coman: phf, any bitrate above 1600 will correctly fail there since bitrate cannot be more than the total length of state (and that's 1600 unless you change the knobs); this being said, there IS an error too and it's one of those that show I need to sleep more: I got ToPos and FromPos flipped around and failed to notice it ...; so big thank you for testing this! correction, patch & post coming later today
diana_coman: mod6, thank you for the detailed write-up on the vpatch issue; I'm not sure it makes sense or even helps to name as "chapters" fixes so people don't miss them in the future since this happened with the mpi_fix before just the same ☟︎
diana_coman: I'll have a look at the bitstream /rate issue too, thank you; I'll get back later today on it
phf: i get identical result if i play with bitstream sizes (including changing bin to 1-base)
phf: diana_coman: when i run this code http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/cW0FU/ i get the output http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/ZDEOs/?raw=true
mod6: My vtron also fails on this as well. I have a whole write up here. Stand by:
phf: diana_coman: btcbase is claiming that i'm missing proper antecedents for smg_oaep.adb/ads, but i think i have all your vpatches. can you please check http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=eucrypt&search= and let me know if i'm missing something
mircea_popescu: then again there's that scene with teeny bopper chicks at the north sea, on the "beach", wind so cutting i was glad for my greatcoat. im sure it's in the logs somewhere but beyond 5 minute's search.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: i read "trees barking"
BingoBoingo: Otherwise I am told it gradually gets colder, windier, and wetter. Like a Latino London barely lucky enough to avoid snow.
mircea_popescu: but since we're on this, i suspect the lack of readout bot is the principal bar to bvulpes log adoption ; not that i expect you gas at this juncture
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i compared numbers, comes to a jurov line
mod6: hmm. i dont think so?
mod6: mircea_popescu: Can I get your opinion on this quick regarding the Charter for Pizarro?
mircea_popescu: i might propose to you that perhaps the more pressing problem isn't how you store your coin but how you populate your thinking table ; but i suspect you are already well aware.
Guest45857: thanks for the article. I'll do my due diligence swapping storage solution asap
Guest45857: so i assume is considered crap. Asking this cause i've one and i was thinking to be on the safe side. Should i discard every hardware wallet or is there something significantly better than trezor?
Guest45857: i've queried "hardware wallet"
Guest45857: hello, i would like to ask about trezor security. in your opinion is safer a properly air gapped computer or specific hardware wallet like trezor?
asciilifeform: i'ma definitely think. but presently asciilifeform must go and tea and then backtowurk. so bbl.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im surte it does, which is why i bring it up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought you already had one of these tho. the dos lappy.
asciilifeform: lol i also signed the original. but it is still kochware.
asciilifeform: while i have a few min on the clock : attn folx : there are 7 unsold FG units in my inventory; of which 6 are currently installed in snsa boxen waiting for their day in the rack; this leaves 1 'bachelor' FG. if someone wishes to buy this one, talk to mircea_popescu for where to pay.
asciilifeform: it so happens that i've designed exactly such a device. but it will be filled with ffaware, not koch. and all things in their proper time.
asciilifeform: let's posit that asciilifeform were willing to put his signature ever again on kochware. ( he ain't. ) how would the key get on the device ? ( i.e. is this exactly the orig cardano ? )
ben_vulpes: !~later tell PeterL i've responded to your comment
a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 20:01 phf: diana_coman: i was also getting some boundary issues with different bitrate issues, i couldn't figure out if it can take any natural value, or there's some specifica subranges that i have to stick to. when i spot checked with values like 1200 (or whatever), it would fail deep inside absorbblock. i'll test it again not that i have a bit of free time and see if i can reproduce
mircea_popescu: pipe though! i want cat x.txt > rrsa -aer stan > y.txt or some sane equivalent.
