mircea_popescu: she'll be pleased to hear from you :)
mircea_popescu: you tested yourself ?
asciilifeform: but apparently mod6's telco is opposite, so i have nfi
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traditionally these dun work w/out the prefix
mod6: I can do that -- the "1" in front didn't work for me tho!
mircea_popescu: (kindergarten mp once famously convinced smitten kitten to sit put for playdo shoving up nostrils "to see what happens". emergency room visit happened, and very sad & contrite mp.)
asciilifeform: mod6: i recommend to put the #, "1-833-TMSRBTC" , on tbf www
mircea_popescu: in a word, ave1 : don't be shy. there's a time to be shy, but when they bring out the playdo's not that time. shove it up shirts, see what happens.
asciilifeform: ( recall #ifdefism thread )
asciilifeform: ^ The Right Thing imho
mircea_popescu: this way we also get to explore that fabled tree resolution stuff in v.
mircea_popescu: ave1 you can literally make it alternate patch to the table crc32, so one can press either, according to need/want. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu for supplying the idea and the picker-up
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 09:40 ave1: well mostly because I see this more as reference code (this is how it can be done with division) and less so as production code (the table driven works very well for that)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860782 << good to have both ends, for reason alf pointed out (embedded systems might not afford the kbs) ☝︎
mod6: I agree, let's just visit this when we have the problem.
mircea_popescu: it's a thing, just like us, but anyway. next year.
asciilifeform: currently i've nfi how to make eu phree pnojes, would have to look into it if it becomes interesting
mircea_popescu: but imo by now this is getting overengineered. let's revisit it if/when becomes importanrt.
mircea_popescu: though, logically, if we care enough about permanence rather than existence, more logical to also make euro free number, and add euro located respondent, and then criss-cross these on 2nd pass.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind that 8xx only work from usa
asciilifeform: otherwise it'll be just the one mircea_popescu supplied.
asciilifeform: anybody who wants to be in this list, plox to gpg #.
mircea_popescu: this might be useful, but i'm not putting a 2nd slavegirl on this galley.
asciilifeform: you can have theoretically unlimited # of these
mod6: Ah, that's pretty handy too.
asciilifeform: mod6: indeed there is
mod6: Is there a feature where it'll ring to person 1, and if person 1 does not answer, it'll roll to a different number?
mod6: asciilifeform: ahh good to know.
asciilifeform: so if sumbody wants to be telephonist...
asciilifeform: btw theres a (apparently phree) feature where it can go to diff receivers at different times of day
asciilifeform: i'ma invoice mod6 then as soon as it actually costs sumthing nontrivial, or erry 6mo, whichever comes 1st
mircea_popescu: aite. i was gonna pay myself, but see no problem with tbf picking it up either. all yours.
mod6: I think it's fine that the Foundation pays for it's toll-free number, Sure. Objections?
mircea_popescu: mod6 ah you picking this up ?
mod6: Nice, when you run out, just invoice the Foundation via jurov plz.
asciilifeform: it's an aol-style 'cheap but then let'em add the bells & whistles and then they'll pay' sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: "this salami costs as much as that cheese, ERGO THIS SALAMI IS THAT CHEESE". and this phone thing dns, and so on.
mircea_popescu: if the pricepoint's any indication... and the pricepoint always is the first and foremost indication.
asciilifeform: subj is far from my daily doings so i have presently nfi just where they get'em
asciilifeform: i suspect it's a dns-style racket, they purchase the #s somewhere & resell
mircea_popescu: the us is the premiere technology and things in the werld!
asciilifeform: possibly not quite this sad, but there apparently was d00ds filling out spreadshits by hand
mircea_popescu: we're putting it in the tmsr music video.
mod6: Ethel on the switchboards.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker get pics, you have any idea how oldschool cool this is getting to be ?
mircea_popescu: wait, wait. there's a chick with ye olde metal probes making contacts on the board ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cuz promised 'next day' and turned out ~week, and place runs on meat/monkeys rather than (as implied) comp
mircea_popescu: why the fuck ?!
asciilifeform: and make acct 2nd time, and various liquishit paperworx
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaactually had to fight with vendor ~daily for ~week
mod6: yeah, that's fine. and the call quality was good -- totally clear.
mircea_popescu: and looking back, wasn't that much trouble at all. just needed to be done. 20 bux, whassat.
mircea_popescu: afaik none of the other various pretenders managed as much.
mircea_popescu: fancy that, mod6 , tbf now has 0800 number. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: o hey, tested ? nice!
mod6: 833-867-7282 << this is how you dial it from usg phone
mod6: Ok cool, it works. I think my problem is that i dialed a "1" in front of the entire number.
mod6: i'll try again
mod6: asciilifeform: it was straight to eggog
mircea_popescu: in other MCGA, yest spent lunch at table with three girls, at upscale italian place where there were three girls total. on the left, tableful of dudes. on the right, tableful of dudes. nobody said as much as zip, though i was openly playing with tits over cacciucco.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 15:01 ave1: btw, turns out I was wrong on; http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860768. I can run the entropy source tests in parallel without problem (jyst takes n times longer, so scales as expected)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860876 << how do you know you aint feeding overlapping rngola to the parallel processes ? ☝︎
BingoBoingo: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/blancos-reciben-con-el-cuchillo-entre-dientes-al-millonario-sartori--20181011173848 << Tell me if you have seen this play before anywhere
asciilifeform: mod6: did it go to eggog immediately or long-tone for a while ?
asciilifeform: mod6: i dun see any calls in the log. gonna write to the vendor shortly.
BingoBoingo: On the other hand Frente Amplio is trying to pass Tranny Reparations while paying for it out of military pensions. ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This would be my first if it happens. My read is there's still time for National Party to get their shit together for the impending election. They have a celebrity MUGA candidate officially announcing in a few weeks.
BingoBoingo: hanbot: Thank you very much
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 08:37 ave1: the wrappers read directly from the tty and work one processor at the time.
ave1: btw, turns out I was wrong on; http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860768. I can run the entropy source tests in parallel without problem (jyst takes n times longer, so scales as expected) ☝︎☟︎
mod6: Aight, "The customer you have dialed is not avaliable at this time. Good-bye."
asciilifeform: btw mod6 , i haven't tested the pnoje thing yet, why dontcha try it while i go to tea
mod6: Ok, that's fine. Let's see what kinda calls we get in those two months. And then we'll go from there. $7 isn't too bad at all, anyway.
asciilifeform: mod6: we have coupla month worth of 'phree' credit tho
mod6: asciilifeform: it was $7/mo extra for the call recording?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 08:36 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-11#1860743 << you conceivably might want to review contentious calls at some point or w/e. but kinda like cctv tapes, ~never useful.
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860766 << Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Would be a nice to have, just in case someone gets out-of-pocket. ☝︎
ave1: the painfull part was at the start when I did not know that crc used a reversed bit order and did not understand that the initial register has to be xored with the message (and not used as a kind of prepend)
asciilifeform: ( possibly the algebra can be shortened tho )
asciilifeform: anyway i suspect it makes sense to ave1 , he came up with the correct answ
asciilifeform: ( there's no point to having the 'Bit1' constant tho )
ave1: also at same time pasted ☟︎☟︎☟︎
ave1: and this then creeps into the loop
ave1: if a message is 1 byte, of the 4 bytes to append, 3 will have to be inverted (initial operation on register)
ave1: btw I had an implementation that did not do this appending, but then the whole body becomes more complex
ave1: without the if; http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AFgkC/?raw=true. This destroys A, rotate does not.
asciilifeform: ( bonus is that the closed form is not only constant time, but substantially faster on pc, nomoar branch prediction misses ) ☟︎☟︎
ave1: ouch, but I hate thinking ☟︎
asciilifeform: i was gonna post an edited ver of ave1's thing, but thought he might enjoy doing with own hands
asciilifeform: i illustrated this in ffa
asciilifeform: ave1: ~rotate~ A instead of shifting, then and with 1, then it'll be in the correct place
ave1: asciilifeform, Bit31 is in A, it needs to be shifted in on R
asciilifeform: ave1: and for the 'A := A xor D' , use a mux. and yer done.
asciilifeform: ave1: apply same fact in the 'if BitSet then A := A or Bit1; end if;' thing
asciilifeform: if it aint set, the op does nuffin
asciilifeform: ave1: 'if Bit31Set then R := R or Bit31; end if;' << is elementarily unnecessary, think about it
asciilifeform: i.e. if yer walking an array, best do errything yer gonna do to an element once, before going to next -- rather than walking it >1 time
asciilifeform: ave1: in the moar expensive muxable ops, i 'rolled in' the muxing
ave1: I did not remember the name "mux", but did remember the method, and I was sure it would be needed in add, but then it was not there. Next in mul, again not there then in modexp...
