erlehmann: i can, but it puts the burden on me. possible misunderstandings.

erlehmann: i also highly prefer it if people talk to me like that. the worst people are those that are like “please send me this and that” – “send me an email with the full details of what and where i should send it please” – “can't you just infer it from the last time you mailed me something?”

erlehmann: i think it is a good rule to talk to autists

mircea_popescu: lol. yeah, i think i might've seen that before.

erlehmann: i have a talent to find errors by not comprehending stuff. talk context-free or regular to me!

asciilifeform: i suspect that erlehmann will like 'p' ( not yet released proggy. ) where you give it a cycle count before it runs, and it gets to step ~that~ many steps, and produces no more than B bytes of output per step...

erlehmann: multiple implementations show multiple assumptions (i.e. multiple grammars)

erlehmann: asciilifeform actually no, but i think i know what you mean. zip bombs only work with programs that do not do full recognition before processing.

erlehmann: mircea_popescu i think i do understand the many implementations thing. data that flowing over abstraction boundaries has the potential to trigger a holographic fracture (i believe that is how it is called). to prevent this, you need a parser and an unparser and both need to have the same grammar (max deterministic context-free) and check it.

mircea_popescu: i need moar grammar brb.

erlehmann: yes, how to participate. i might have read it at some point in the past.

erlehmann: i see

mircea_popescu: erlehmann well, i'll rate you so you'll be able to self-voice. and see topic, it's in there.

erlehmann: mircea_popescu i was not aware a) registering is possible b) registering is desirable for me. so what do i get out of it and if i want to do it, how?

Framedragger: good practice, props for persevering! (i'm the "modularise, bitch" guy at work)

a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 00:24 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'll suggest a 'p-tronic' format for diffs. N\........ specifies N retained-of-a octets (e.g., 5\abcde )

mircea_popescu: i suspect you ~don't~ get the "many implementations" thing after all :D

erlehmann: i am the guy at my workplace who always rants about grammars, but i think i am the only one who actually did philosophy in university

erlehmann: so i can show it to people who just want to know what to do

a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:53 asciilifeform: so i had two base64's png files in there,

erlehmann: mircea_popescu i also recommend http://langsec.org/papers/curing-the-vulnerable-parser.pdf

erlehmann: i told all my coworkers to read it. when i told maradydd, she was like “well, that's like the intended purpose”

erlehmann: well, i get that GNU diff does not actually verify that there is a timestamp

mircea_popescu: yes. the vdiff processing was arrived at through historical choice rather than deliberate design. therefore i'd say it's lacking it by accident.

erlehmann: i understand the “many small independent implementations” idea, but does the republic have a grammar for vdiff output? i am sure this is faulty somehow, as it contains neither a recognizer nor an unparser http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/bin/vdiff

mircea_popescu: the guy strikes me as dumber than rocks, but what do i know.

mircea_popescu: well, they stole one of the guy's airplanes at some point. that sort of thing i imagine

shinohai: I hear Oliver North is inconsolable.

mod6: Will report if I get it figured out.

mod6: I haven't gotten openbsd to do quite what I want yet, even with the -crtscts flag set for stty.

gabriel_laddel_p: I don't have it in front of me either so idk. Have not touched this project in a ~month or more. That /etc/init.d/devfs exists is news to me, and will try messing with it next

gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I'm the very opposite of "uncheck happy", I use the VERY SAME kernel binary being used in

gabriel_laddel_p: which I suppose credits your /dev/ is not being populated correctly theory

gabriel_laddel_p: why would I have to load a driver for a block device? and sdb1 and so on and so forth are NOT created, no seen anywhere

gabriel_laddel_p: I will double check that all kernel modules are being included, but could have sworn I got em all

gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: there is no error to paste. Nothing is missing, nothing shows up as missing when I strace it.

gabriel_laddel_p: I would have thought that it was compiled statically, but lddtree turns up deps

gabriel_laddel_p: Oddly enough, the fdisk binary from https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~purschke/RescueCD/ works, even though I have a different kernel than it ships with (the masamune one), and different shared libs (masamune ones).

trinque: afaik linux always mounts /dev automatically these days, so I'd suspect the former.

gabriel_laddel_p: Is anyone aware of "magic" shared libraries that must be included with a linux distro to work? When I build a MasamuneRescueCD fdisk -l does not see any disks, nor does lsblk, in spite of my including all shared libraries required by lddtree --list

mircea_popescu: one day around noon i bought a girl in the street in nantucket ; by nightfall the respectable housewives all the way down to whitechapel and all the way up past maine had re-evaluated their priceless litter accordingly.

renzo: Have to admit i haven't visited your blog since the time of the DAO hack... Mircea, what do you make of this ETH bubble?#

Framedragger just wondered if one of the functions of "concents" in stephenson's anathem (which i haven't yet read) are to reduce this kind of "but i have two cats and mortgage!" compromise possibility for scientists and the like

a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 14:37 mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed the slowness of reading from the USB-TTL too. i had mine set to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand.

Framedragger: of course. not much use in the first place. it's not about any mega opportunity / utility loss, just, d00d seemed ~healthy, there was no excuse (free! relevant shit!), and *yet*. i know the whole history of the forum is full of this, it's just fucking depressing what can i say.

asciilifeform: i would have even said 'throw out the idiot os' but on linux also it defaults to flowcontrol-on

pete_dushenski: hm. i might have to try that.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663444 << eh, what difference does it make. as i tell derpy girlies at least weekly, "you had your chance." was there more to it than that ? ☝︎

mod6: werd. will try it later on my end. not with mac though. i don't use that crap.

a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 15:19 mod6: with OpenBSD, looks like I'll need to try (via http://man.openbsd.org/stty.1) '-crtscts'

a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 19:56 mircea_popescu: "in the us the nsa has powers and bla bla bla. why are you crying, little boy" "I WANT TO GO TO THE USA!!11"

asciilifeform: i dun even go so quickly to 'ineptitude' -- perhaps they are quite 'apt' but not at the job naively supposed by outsider.

asciilifeform: i dun even have a handy 'unified theory' of this

a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 22:28 asciilifeform: aite, i'ma write..

asciilifeform: i expect to get done in by it personally, if not by anything else first, and i dun even eat it ! ( it is however in the water , air, fraudulently mixed into $maxint premium phood etc )

trinque: lobbes: "This is a set of ideas that I???ve tossed around with friends for a while. Unless something huge changes, this is probably the only viable solution." << oh, ok.

BingoBoingo: Police have opened investigation because opium deaths are now treated as murders by drug dealer. For some reason though I have a feeling Hussein Bahamas will not be taken into custody by Trenton, Illinois police for his role in growing Afghan opium imports.

asciilifeform: they will, i expect, be dealt with.

trinque: I spent some time in a hospital this weekend, granddad had some cardiac plumbing done.

BingoBoingo: I am not in the business of growing negro supertumors. I would probably use bleach.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Appologies, I intended to refer to not helicopter, but HeLa supertumor

asciilifeform: i suspect that people -- ~are~ easier to lift than dead crate.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe. they certainly have lower weights at the gym, if that matters.

asciilifeform: i dunno re mircea_popescu's barbell , but mine doesn't have hands and help the lifter by hanging on !11

mircea_popescu: i somewhat doubt you can deadlift 70kgs ?

asciilifeform: the heuristic 'if i can lift $creature, it is not too massive' heuristic worx

mircea_popescu: the problem with usian chicks isn't necessarily "being the weight of three girls" (mostly cuz i don't expect you'd talk to those), but this unhealthy / inflated aspect due to forced adipose growth for toxin burial. ~that~ sheds, once toxin intake is discontinued, of course.

asciilifeform: but i have nfi what mircea_popescu keeps as 'inpatient' pets.

mircea_popescu: which photos ? i'm actually quite variant, there's all sorts.

asciilifeform: i'm curious re the 'it sheds'

asciilifeform: i think the mcamericans fixed this

mircea_popescu: anyway, re needing : white females have been historically the better selling slaves, in all cultures. i dun expect this will change.

mircea_popescu: i imagine ~same reason socket still supplies current for the ~ton or so of hela in existance.

asciilifeform: cn folx are, overall, bright enough, i suspect that at some point they will wake up to the fact that they do not in fact need the euro/usa schmucks for anything

asciilifeform: but i've nfi.

mircea_popescu: i don't. i'm satisfied there's just idiocy of the "consensus seeking" nature involved, no more.

asciilifeform: but i suspect there are 'physical limits' involved

mircea_popescu: oh, i'm sure HE's perfectly clean.

mircea_popescu: i can't think of a worse clime.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi who in his right mind would buy to live in london.

mircea_popescu: i can't wait for Respectable Person 2020.

asciilifeform: but if mod6 comes up with a recipe, i would like to include it in the manual.

asciilifeform: FG transmits at 115200,1,noparity, and this is readily verifiable by anyone with an oscilloscope and eyes, or with linux box, or dos box. i will not be taking responsibility for every broken os on the planet.

mod6: don't bother for now, just stick with whatever else you were doin'. I don't wanna get you off on a side-quest for this.

asciilifeform: ... or i could let the bsd aficionados take on this chore.

asciilifeform: though it ~does~ have a serial port , on the docking cradle (it's a 'toshiba libretto'), and perhaps i could dust it off

mod6: ok, np. i'll dig into it later. we'll get to the bottom of it. just some weird config deal.

mod6: or am I reading that wrong?

mod6: with OpenBSD, looks like I'll need to try (via http://man.openbsd.org/stty.1) '-crtscts' ☟︎

asciilifeform: i encountered this nonsense when i built my very first prototype rng, iirc mircea_popescu even turned the resulting dialogue into a whole post on his www

asciilifeform: and hah, i think we nailed the problem pete_dushenski had

asciilifeform: however if your system fails to set 115200 baud ( and on every box i have here, it is the default baud rate, HOWEVER you MUST turn off flow control )

mod6: i was actually reading through `dd` (openbsd) impl yesterday.. -.-

mod6: ok, if `cat` won't pad, or do any weird buffer hijinks, then i'll give it a shot.

mod6: or how I'm trying to read from the serial

mod6: asciilifeform: yup. just, openbsd with the config I was talking about yesterday didn't hit that. im sure it's just something on the openbsd side, ie. my configuration.

asciilifeform: mod6: i investigated , under most unixen it is safe to use 'cat'

mod6: ah, well from my *linux* machine i was around ~7kb/s

mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed the slowness of reading from the USB-TTL too. i had mine set to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand. ☟︎☟︎
