sina: um...as in, the logical topology of the WoT is a ...web... but to join the web you enter via a tree structure where the root is master, and all other nodes are slaves
sina: I have a fierce craving for burger today
hanbot: sina yer just a downer under ;D
sina: I dunno, I feel like it's a bit in the vein of "winblows"
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, isn't it a wonder latrina isn't a racial slur ?
mircea_popescu: it's a poon!
mircea_popescu: didn;'t you say it was a holiday down under ?
sina: it's a beautiful day after raining all weekend, and from my education birds are having sex with bees

BingoBoingo: Maybe you ought to produce a spec and assign a slavegirl to start a coachbuilding empire?
mircea_popescu: that makes for a lot of cars.
BingoBoingo: Retailer dressed as a "dealer" has either offer a carriage or a lawnmower convincingly dressed as a carriage.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The thing is you buy one car every 12 years for light volcano to beach transit. That doesn't make an industry, so to solve this retailer has to borrow from mass market lawnmowers to offer a carriage to mircea_popescu that might avoid smiting

BingoBoingo: Just remember, there's a spooky skeleton inside you
trinque: pretty decent bundle of classics and so on, but the first volume in the thing presents, of course, a feverish pitch for "(presumably free) liberal education for all"
trinque: being a cryptocoins expert, I chose crap. shit is against the community guidelines.
mircea_popescu: THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ANSWER!!! THE QUESTION MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
sina: trinque: there is a DApp for that
sina: I demand a reference
mircea_popescu: i thought that's like a rabbit
mircea_popescu: it's a joke!
sina: massive lul, hide the gun in a red box
sina: As the couple sat in the back seat of the car, Mr. Denisultanov-Kurmakayev said, “‘Now, here is your gift,’” Ms. Okuyeva said. He opened the box, pulled out a gun and opened fire on Mr. Osmayev.
sina: As they drove, Mr. Denisultanov-Kurmakayev asked the pair to stop the car for an interview and to sit in the back to receive the gift, which he carried in a festive red cardboard box.
sina: the lady is a badass and has a gun/blod clotting agent, shoots the assassin 4 times after he shoots her husband
sina: a ukranian lady and her husband are minor celebs for fighting against the russians in donetsk or wherever, Ukranian press loves em
sina: that was a fun read this morning

mircea_popescu: in other ghettos, gang of porto ricans down the street is throwing a PARTAY!!!!
BingoBoingo: Still, I would like to see the ranking if "complications of being a fat fuck" were consolidated and entered on list. Overdose would likely still win under 25 list, but age where "fat fuck" begins to beat overdose inspires curiosity.
mircea_popescu: a while back they started trying to prosecute all overdose deaths as manslaughter-by-dealer. getting desperate, obviously.
BingoBoingo: tends to be a more targeted hazard than "mook was allowed to operate heavy machinery"
BingoBoingo: ah, well the amount of danger a mook creates depends on what the locals trust em to do
mircea_popescu: what ? that they spent a few centuries passing for white while white ruled the world but now that white got some indescript malaise they'll pass for "something else" ie "of color" ?
mircea_popescu: gpg is slated for a rewrite, actually, since it became obvious koch's a dedicated saboteur.
mircea_popescu: afaik there';s a bunch of these
sina: its a bounded model checker for C, you can use it to verify the correctness of whole programs but since it is a bit slow/brute force approach, normally you only can use it to test critical functions
mircea_popescu: mirrors neatly how all sorts of dorks have been trying to create exactly the same, "just as good as bitcoin with just a bit of censorship" sort of bs.
sina: it's a very interesting topic
mircea_popescu: well, in the particular case of phuctor, he has a solid point. ☟︎
sina: short of hiring a "reporter"
sina: that sounds like a pretty difficult task
mircea_popescu: produce a summary of each day so that no lulz are missed
mircea_popescu: there was a younger, more naive time when we seriously wanted someone to condense the logs
mircea_popescu: a yea
sina: no here. gossipd, libsodium/nacl, trump...a few other things I searched
mircea_popescu: including http://logs.minigame.bz/2017-05-22.log.html#t23:16:39 (tl;dr : dood got asked to not come back a year ago over being overexcitable asshat ; came back year later begged for forgiveness which was granted -- only to discover he had lost his key)
sina: don't look at me man, I literally am using a 3072-bit DSA El-Gamal key for some reason
sina: pretty sure https://github.com/maqp/tfc/wiki/Security-design this uses a keyboard...
a111: Logged on 2016-02-08 00:11 maqp: There is no way your system can defeat targeted SIGINT monitoring attack, where government drives within a few hundred meters and collects signals emitted by your keyboard cable.
sina: mircea_popescu: you can fix this one too http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function/#comment-122214

sina: I tried to make a C one but then I remembered I haven't touched anything with pointers in about 15 years
sina: mircea_popescu: is there any interest in a tmsr company offering stuff like git hosting etc?

mircea_popescu: do me a favour sina ; and ben_vulpes : post a copy of your code on the article. archival.
mircea_popescu: so there's a python, a golang and a cl version nao ?
ben_vulpes off for a bit
mircea_popescu: nov is a muchly republican month.
ben_vulpes: i put a tool out there for you to use, use it
sina: if I pick a string I'll include the bitfield for lazy ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: it's a decent blog post for someone.
mircea_popescu: do 1 2 4 8 16 etc kb all the way to a mb or so,
mircea_popescu: that's the next step once we got a coupla canonical impls, is to burn it down.
mircea_popescu: think about it, candi does it over a lisp!
sina: assuming it's a correct implementation of the spec anyway
sina: this is definitely going to need a system language impl
sina: lol...the 2048 bit hash for GPLv2 was taking a really long time so I killed it to add some print statements. Checked "wc -c LICENSE", it reports ~18,000 chars. I re-ran mpfhf with 32 bits, thinking it'd finish at M_pos ~18,000
ben_vulpes: gimme a second, i'm handling two implementations here
sina: or is this a spec bug ☟︎
sina: but when you have a string of all 1s
ben_vulpes: writer, not a reader!
ben_vulpes: 0 seems a bit more likely...?
ben_vulpes: naively, per http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function/#footnote_1_70955

sina: ben_vulpes: also per above my halfscrew won't take any action if the len(a) is 1, can you confirm cl behaviour?
sina: ben_vulpes: in your halfscrew I notice (underlying-screw b m-position (floor (/ (length a) 2)))
sina: mircea_popescu: there was a bug in my screw method which caused the cycle, once I identified it, it stopped cycling
mircea_popescu: i don't readily see a problem with the story as displayed.
mircea_popescu: though in principle the mpfhf is a function fambly -- anyone can make any sort of thing he wants
PeterL: I had an idea for another function to use in the fabulous hash: a conditional screw - where on step n, for i in length S, if S[i] then flip R[n*i mod len(R)]
mircea_popescu: see, i suspect ben_vulpes 's thing has a subtle bug in it but i can't seem to find it ;/
sina: ben_vulpes: any chance you'd be willing to take a peek at my code>?
mircea_popescu: you prolly still have a bug in there though, just no longer on this case.
mircea_popescu: fuck, there's a bug ion the spec.
mircea_popescu: i don't readily see there's a problem with it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok, so was that a half-screwing of s in r and s was 1 bit long so it did nothing ?
mircea_popescu: screwing #*0000000000 at position 0 with count 0 << the problem. it is not possible for a bit count to be 0.
ben_vulpes: kinda thinking i should just maintain a "mpfhf currently backing candi" on that page
ben_vulpes: also output hashes larger than a certain size won't post because reasons i haven't run down yet
sina: lol, that changed it a little, now I loop at step 71 instead of 5 :P
sina: mircea_popescu: per the spec, " During each step, the function considers whether the position-th bit in M is 0 or 1, and executes a defined set of operations in either case. Once the operations have been executed, the position is incremented by one."
mircea_popescu: nah, it'll rewind as part of a more complex op.
sina: mircea_popescu: pls help me understand rewind? doesn't it guarantee loops if I end up in a step which has a rewind? because I will go back one and then rewind?
mircea_popescu: this is where a step by step printout would be useful.
mircea_popescu: there's a rewind op
sina: mircea_popescu: can you point if I'm missing something obvious? From my understanding of the spec, the number of "steps" is = the length of M, but in your examples (understanding they're of a nonworking prototype) have a lot more steps than len(M)
mircea_popescu: im sure it does that, but, simplifies checking. do a few printouts of something shorter and saner, say 16 bit items.
