asciilifeform: in ru prison tradition, was sorta opposite formula, when they lowered a d00d into pederasty, would give'im a gurl's name, but still address as 'he'
mod6: *nod* I was a bit curious as to what type of slop they were trying to feed us.
asciilifeform: mod6: dun burn much time on it, i suspect there is nothing much of interest ( they break some of the protocol format, but not, as far as i can tell, to any interesting end )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-23 01:51 mod6: Gotta catch up on l0gz and the rest. In particular, I'm just about nowhere on my task of creating answers to FAQs/Common Questions about the Foundation itself. I'll be working on that this week as a main priority - will post what I have for review/comments/corrections in #trilema by end of weekend.
asciilifeform: bvt: thing is, there's a non-negotiable must-have subset of posix, that ~cannot~ be implemented as pure ada. e.g. the udp structs liquishit. or , as we learned from bvt , open()
asciilifeform: Mocky: i can think of several algos for reliably picking 'left' and 'right' without any manual config ( recall, 'a' and 'b' have the cards slotted in, in opposite orders, call'em pad 'x' and 'y' , 'a' has x-y and b y-x -- both get same final xor, x xor y, is used as pad p )
bvt: i would much prefer going pure ada for a subset of posix. otherwise it's the same as relying on GNAT-specific packages -- it exports plenty of interesting stuff, not sure about networking though.
asciilifeform: imho, segregating as much as possible of unix liquishit in a short .c, is cleaner than buncha Import() and hardcoded flag constants derived by guesswork
asciilifeform: tldr : the shitcoin people are in fact pretending to compatibility with ordinary btc protocol; even going as far as using unchanged version strings, and backdated block timestamps ( of course trb rejects the liquishit in O(1) , but it is entertaining )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865502 >> as promised >> http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/trb/fuckwads_in.pcap ( filtered , for convenience: only incoming crapola ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-23 18:01 asciilifeform: in an asynchronous scheme, you gotta explicitly divide the pad in halves, one for a->b and one for b->a, so as to exclude any possibility of either end making use of a block of pad that may have already been made use of by other side meanwhile.

asciilifeform: offers approx same ev as hunting rats in sewer for their skins
asciilifeform: as for *213 : behold : answer to this bermuda triangle : https://archive.is/9j7vx#selection-5463.0-5525.29 << tardstalk : 'interesting thing! a creativecoin clone ( with strange ico: real coins vs virtual coins ) ... if you want to add me: addnode=178.238.224.213:12358' etc etc
asciilifeform: i admit that i'm pretty curious re just what it is that they're offering up as blox.
BingoBoingo: laggy as fuck
asciilifeform: can think of it as simply a very long untappable wire.

asciilifeform: as described above
Mocky: so have to store block you most recently ack'd as well, to detect resend
asciilifeform: the 1 slightly subtle devil in the details, is that you gotta authenticate incoming data, or enemy can force you to burn your pad by sending rubbish. fortunately there are several easy ways of doing this ( the most obvious, is to use a small piece of each block as a hash salt, and send keccak(salt+ciphertext) after each N bytes of ciphertext )
asciilifeform: 1 of the things i like about otp box is that it is trivial to verify that it functions as specified ( can plug in a pad with known contents, throw in known plaintext, and observe -- with a comp of your choice -- what comes out )
asciilifeform: ( tho quite possibly a FG2 that doubles as an iron otptron, could be a marketable win in itself )
asciilifeform: then the primary one could function exactly as the classical FG line did.
BingoBoingo: Not really news unless someone involved in the zombie Linus thing comes up with a line like: "but that would put me in the position of editing and redacting Benedict of Nursia, as if I were wiser than he"

asciilifeform: ( if yer baking asics, incidentally, may as well bake a http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-22#987731 and get sane cpu ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: what i'd really like is to bake an entire comp, a la rockchip, with FG on board. but this too is in same budgetary ballpark as asic .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: given as you're the leading industrial FG user, perhaps share your pov on the above ?
diana_coman: and yes, octet is defined in smg.comms as unsigned_8 ofc
diana_coman: hm, theoretically the byte is standard but there is the bit/byte confusion issue and moreover I really find octet easier on brain as it directly points at "it's eight bits!"
diana_coman: on one hand libs on their own should logically have their own types; on the other hand, when they are used as part of a bigger project, it makes sense I think to make their types subtypes - where they fit/are the same

asciilifeform: indeed. sorta why they're of interest, imho, as 'corner case'.

asciilifeform: simply dumps block hashes, without racking up ssd wear as dumpblock/hash/erase to do same job would
mod6: asciilifeform: thanks for your recent submissions to the ML. I'll get to reviewing those as soon as I can.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was asking specifically re events that trigger reorg logic ( as seen in http://btcbase.org/patches/asciilifeform_aggressive_pushgetblocks/tree/bitcoin/src/main.cpp#L1028 ), with arity defined as the length of the eventually discarded forklet chain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not like anyone has to press on it, as per that discussion.

billymg: BingoBoingo: i could definitely do that, wanted to add it to my own as the first step
billymg: as there is some overlap between design and marketing
asciilifeform: lobbes: many yrs ago asciilifeform worked in a biotech lab thing, was ~100% 'excel'-powered, erry bit as ugly as you can imagine
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 22:32 asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won't help" and you must work with her to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen TV so as to navigate the marshy terrain that used to b
mircea_popescu: if you look into the templarte, you'll see it's very flat, as in, most of the non-variable content is quoted literals.
asciilifeform: and yet the box grunts though the templatization 9000 times an hour, as if answ could ever turn out different
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:20 asciilifeform: put the dressing in blog.ads as constants and be done with it. when erry couple of yrs you feel like twiddling the bg colour or somesuch -- it's a 10sec recompile, wat.

asciilifeform: whereas the samsungs, i expect, are treated as ~disposables
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't ask why. The bearded fellow behind the counter who looked as though he could have been cast as an above average banana republic general in Hollywood promptly shut her up dispensed the product.
Mocky: re blockchainers, im going to try to get them to schedule an event with me as the speaker
mircea_popescu: the pantsuited hilarity herself both knew and said as much, their entire line during elections is "this pays better". and their constant fretful midging on their own "sikrit" comms was all about hiow "apparently people don't care being paid to be stupid nets them slightly more than what they could get on own not being stupid".
asciilifeform: ( re 'furries & trannies' -- there is a hilarious wankfest going, somebody spread rumour that trump is plotting to cancel, somehow, Official recognition of trannieism, all sortsa usual suspects are busy filling their pants as we speak )
Mocky: maybe if i had couple girls to polish the dust off my crown as i walk from the bar to the pool...
asciilifeform: iirc was conceived as a sea-going thing, but wai not adapt to modern market!11
mircea_popescu: hey, disinfects as it wounds.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 18:50 diana_coman: Mocky, I wonder though how much those burnt partners actually catered to the qatari partner as an ongoing relationship rather than just "he gives money for my biznis" (and how the hell is a charity a business, ugh)
asciilifeform: so then as i understand , rsa 'ddos' is not possible, i.e. 'allcomer' cannot force serv to perform a modexp simply by asking.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 18:47 Mocky: Being as the requirement for standard LLC is 51% Qatari ownership, this new info suggests to me that having two locals who split the 51% may be the way to go. They can still close it down but not at the whim of a single person.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864490 << because etsy morons, trying to do the egyptian "fat white woman" (see ) thing except "Better". so they "live independently" as #metoo dumbcunts. ☝︎
jurov: which caused mild confusion as i don't have so much on the acct and deedbot said nothing

Mocky: BingoBoingo, isn't bubble gum flavor just as gross?

Mocky: no dogs but word this morning was that expat western women keep them here like surrogate children just as elsewhere, and there are enough to make a good business
Mocky: Also re impulsiveness: one school adminsitrator said they have a rule of 3 for instructions comeing down from Qatari management. Let them ask three times including an official goverment memo before you do anything they say. Because as soon as they start to see the fall out of random impulsive decisions they will reverse it and have you undo all your work.
asciilifeform: ok as i thought, ty
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864385 -> yes; perhaps as it gets used more, the trouble becomes more pressing and then it'll get done... ☝︎
phf: i suspect a temporary solution as far as vdiff is concerned is to spoon feed keccak smaller blocks
Mocky: i met others as well, europeans, americans, canadians but they didn't know about biz or qataris enough to contribute to the convo
Mocky: phf well i've only spoken to foreigners here about it so that could be the case here as well, but it does say "shisha" on the printed menu, but also printed in english for foreigners
asciilifeform: it's a fairly simple fix, as i understand, gotta up the max stack
Mocky: my AC compressor on the roof had a problem. now these clowns didn't fix it but did manage to break the indoor fan and circuit board as well. and i gotta get up in 6 hours for this meet and greet. gonna be a sweaty night
BingoBoingo: The Peruana has the sore throat deal about a month ago, but she sought medical attention as soon as she registered a fever, because nurse has to get that work note to show the hospital
billymg: lol not just us, others in my meat-wot as well
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: best as i can tell, nuffin but samsung n30, n150, lenovo s10-2 (but not s10-3, i opened one and no dice, cabling too short) will eat the thing.
mircea_popescu: it's weird, yers. but in the circumstances as i understand them, weird is 500x times better than trite, "hello sir, i r guampatambatam from my country india"
asciilifeform: usa is a peculiar horror, with little-to-no reliable public transport in most places; but pretty much errywhere else, could easily do as above
asciilifeform: re drivers -- why not, e.g., combine license and taxi medallion. wanna drive ? register as driver, buy medallion, dun have to carry passengers or paint livery on 'cab' if you dun feel like, but pony up.
Mocky: traffic is only bad here during rush hour, and even then not as bad as rush hour in us cities. so long as you avoid the "10 minute lights"
asciilifeform: strikes me as 'enumerated bad'(tm) is all
Mocky: ikr? that list is the old one too. the newer once is twice as long, includes "computer programmer"

asciilifeform: anybody ever so much as bothered to drill an' see ?
mircea_popescu: almost as if picking factions in mmorpg.
mircea_popescu: somehow managed to maintain bizarre taboos, such as "not using same dishes/flatware" across sexual orientation.
mircea_popescu talking to "party girl" at some point (ukr chick, too) about it : "don't you find it intolerable ?" "well... i think of it as a perpetual costume party in the street."
Mocky: it's still on the books, 40 lashes for sex outside marriage for a muslim. i think they did it as recently as a few years ago
Mocky: I don't know about public or not. as part of sharia law it applies only to muslims. they have secular law for non muslims.
