diana_coman: asciilifeform, first I do need to finish getting the ffa in, so that will still take quite a while; other than that, it's more a matter of "
as time permits" and
as mircea_popescu says it's not top priority; that being said yes, I'd like to do it and see some timings and comparison for myself
mircea_popescu: i imagine she's going to bake a test
as time permits. it's not a top priority item but then again she moves fast.
mircea_popescu: put some meat on the bones of his "check it out, speed!" thing,
as a courtesy if nothing else.
diana_coman: well, don't get flattened please, there's already waay more work than active hands
as it is
mircea_popescu: esp because correctly written, with tests etc. so can meaningfully do ffa-eucrypt vs mpi-eucrypt
as a benchmark.
mircea_popescu: point being : de-sslification of bitcoin is not stalled on this. it is stalled on prior de-sslification of cuntoo, which
as such doesn't yet exist, which is not really stalled on this either.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated
as generics )
mircea_popescu: maybe it;s not
as wrong
as all that. did you ever make that thing ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:37 mircea_popescu: i do not know,
as i sit here, what the conclusion of the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881988 discussion was, three weeks later. the man sits among a republic built on a certain methodology, aims to quietly use the exact ~other~ methodology, makes no prior mention of this, candidly references the latter
as if it worked notwithstanding how howlingly it failed to work to date, on and on in this vein and at the end of it al
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:22 mircea_popescu: finally, asciilifeform is working on rsa-based ssl-ism replacement (notwithstanding he ~seems to be~ working on any and all wank on the "side" during spare time he doesn't have and all that), which we want so we can finally move bitcoin off sheer cretinity and into cuntoo (and which is principally why we want sane db also, but
as i said -- yet immature).
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 20:09 phf: you're constantly in logs, confused
as to how anyone can get anything from anyone, yet now you're questioning my methods.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked is evidently trying, hence feedbot, but evidently having trouble reconciling saeculum, which i'm going to let stand
as such on the grounds that he's new -- even though experience shows that
as a dubious idea [for all the eg one could possibly need witness how asciilifeform 's still in the swamp, so many years later].
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lobbes recently unveiled actionbot, which works fine, and is evidently putting all time he can into paying off technological debt he's responsible for if not necessarily guilty of. nothing wrong with this, and it can stand
as such.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: other than maintaining the deedbot infrastructure, trinque is working on cuntoo, which is a rather large piece and it taking a [difficult to predict] while is not by itself the end of the world ; but i'd like to see some roadmapping, tentative and subject to change
as it may be, lest the effort degenerates.
mircea_popescu: hanbot is working on the mp-wp tree, and manages
as she long has a rather largeish wetworks i'm not going to get into the details of.
mircea_popescu: yet -- it is not my business ; so i'm just going to count it
as such, "working on pizarro" without further inquiry (and with the firm expectation that someone IS doing all that).
mircea_popescu: so :
as far
as i know, bingoBoingo is working on qntra and on pizarro. he's doing a very fine job with the former ; i'm nonplussed with recently discovering just how broken the latter's mp-wp offering actually was ; moreover it seems to me from a distance pizarro's still financially and customer-wise entirely dependent, ie
as close to failure
as you can possibly get without spelling it out.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, meanwhile it's the 5th day of this fine new year, and it occurs to me it might be a good idea to discuss some things, lest april coming around this year like any other year be perceived
as some kind of subjective surprise, rather than the objective necessity it ever is.
mircea_popescu: (ie, you are MORE likely to die for being behind sheet lead/steel/whatever than not. because high energy electron won't hurt you at all -- or even see you -- but the tons of gamma it spews
as the metal plate decelerates it WILL fucking fry you)\
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 01:15 asciilifeform: it aint that much good without the iron, but i would like the thing publicly gettable, given
as i also baked a 'scsi2sd' config that eats the thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like this you can do it on an
as-available basis.
mircea_popescu: Mocky we're in the same time distortion field. i recall people dead for centuries
as if we just interrupted a coffee conversation days ago ; i forgot idiots i met yesterday
as if milennia had passed.
stratum: Most people don't even have one "box" -- More and more browsing from their phones
as their sole computing device, billions of them. I think there is a disconnect in what we're discussing: which is why I mention RMS and his helpers.
stratum: Certainly, but one still has to survive among the internet places
as they exist.. We cannot all be RMS and have a helper print out websites for us because we're paranoid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: specifically : the oldest illustration of "robotics" in the charlie chaplin deeply misguided
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043874 approach (and yes, i am very unimpressed by charlie chaplin
as the "intellectual great" pantsuit make him out to be, specifically because this sort of deliberate stupidity to cater to pantsuit nonsense dun count
as wisdom) is an amelia bedelia-esque "person sent to broom will broom the room, r
☝︎ mircea_popescu: Mocky but the important part is "resilient design" so to speak : it should keep polling after doing what it thought it did. same exact thing
as with the "put stuff in inv" : put all you find of the type you're putting, if you miss some on one cycle, catch up on next. sorta thing.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:59 asciilifeform: given
as the fella didn't end up sticking to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:36 diana_coman: well, it's meant
as replacement not
as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
diana_coman: heh, talked in parallel there; I know and that's why I did not mention it at all at first; it was just because you asked for
as much nitpick
as possible, so now it's at least said
diana_coman: ftr I had to refresh a bit on Knuth Vol 2 at some point but I don't see that
as a minus at all
diana_coman: the trouble is that "sharp edges" are quite often operator-shaped
as it were
diana_coman: well, it's meant

as alternative so I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
☟︎ mircea_popescu: historically childbearing worked essentially
as ~punishment~, which is a point readily elided by modern clueless schmucks.\
mircea_popescu:
AS FUCKING IF it is or ever could be the case ~they're~ the mp of this world or something.
mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer, i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are.
as long
as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.
BingoBoingo: Well, sure. Thing starts
as an ego inflation exercise: "Can't export because SOMOS NUMERO 1" Y despues ObamArgentina goes from un pais rico en Thalers Alemman to incapacity to export soy.
diana_coman: billymg, looks good; perhaps mirror the whole mp-wp tree somewhere
as you seem to be working on mp-wp?
Mocky: I might
as fucking well
mircea_popescu: Mocky if this may help you take heart, ~everyone's employability is ~epsilon in the us. "jobs" work
as alt-welfare conduits, no genuine productivity is present or contemplated.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722411 << 1 ) ffa is closed form. i.e. it CAN be written
as a number of nand gates, with a 'funnel' at the top, to which you present a,b,c, e.g. 4096bit, numbers, and at the bottom in a little cup you get a^b mod c , and with NO UPWARDS FEEDBACK FLOW of information , i.e. answer comes after same interval of time always, and with strictly downwards signals.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental promise involved in the concept of number,
as a scalar measure of something
mircea_popescu: right. and such a thing
as typos in those comments is possible. this entire line is the result of your ineffectual sideswiping.
mircea_popescu: yet our ideal is literate code,
as in, docs in the program.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's more than that : a) that there's such a thing
as a correct program ; b) to which one can converge ; c) in a finite number of itemized steps ; d) the count therewhich can be known in advance.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 17:09 mircea_popescu: natural language, however, ablates the trees for "convenience" so to speak, ie, uses commonly what's known in computing
as sparse trees.
