mircea_popescu: but as it stands, seems sending people to bring me a serpent hdd is not unlike sending people to bring be titted boars. why, can't use women ?
mircea_popescu: if you don't like that, get an antifuse rom chip for it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: symmetric crypter doesn't win from massive arithmetron tho
mircea_popescu: so you don't see my point when i say "well... disk and everytihng else line-crypto really needs tmsr-cryptochip first" ?
mircea_popescu: the behaviour is painting-indistinct. "yellow houses aren't the most fashionable". the discussion is house-building, not "yellow house making"
mircea_popescu: nah, it's freudism. things as advanced as fraud don't get as fashionable.
asciilifeform: and if it ain't available at birth, then it never gets set.
asciilifeform: observe that E107 is undefined cuz it doesn't shit out a E107 : Short_Integer; pragma Import (Ada, E107, wherever); .
bvt: well, http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/network/connect.c -- the structure is the same; digging is rather easy, if you don't look into glibc
bvt: re syscalls -- fair enough. but imo this shows extreme brokeness of linux portability -- i can't think about a sane reason for syscall numbers to differ across arches.
bvt: asciilifeform: re exotic flags -- sure. but i don't expect different results with syscall numbers as well. some subset will match, later in the table -- complete mess
a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 14:52 mircea_popescu: up to you whether to make a dir or not ; eventually these will end up in that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865314 -- but the only way that happens is if you try things and then productively disagree with people. i've nfi at the moment whether we do or we don't want single temp files in a tmp dir nevertheless, or anything else ; and i absolutely do not wish to ever do (or will ever permit anyone to) sit around and "think
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-25#1865825 << if you don't force the 'tempfiles ./tmp' scheme, i would much prefer to implement the 'temp. file in ./' variant. vpatch coming at latest tomorrow. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i would've naively imagined that massive 'contrabass' like this would may as well include the uv lamp. but apparently didn't.
mircea_popescu: not saying that whole new generation couldn't be baked for this purpose. but seems insanity.
asciilifeform: and there isn't really a theoretically minimal size for it, afaik.
asciilifeform: not even speaking of intelisms -- if you can't remove heat at the rate it is produced by resistance -- you get magic smoke, no matter how you cut it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: regularly there's word from some d00d who actually bought surplus gear ( see e.g. linked thread ) and 'omfg, i made a diode!' , typically as far as they get ( and it wasn't even because usg.dhs came for his flourine , afaik it did not )
mircea_popescu: incidentally -- there's a very strong link between http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-25#1865962 (ie, the naive expectation that money buys you good in reich) and the question of... why doesn't alf have elemental fluorine in his house ? "well, he doesn't want it" "suppose he did ?" "then he'd have to get authorization, like the plants do" "you mean... buy toyota ?" "eeexactly". ☝︎
asciilifeform: i don't pretend to specifically know. point is, it's an anti-personnel mine field, not anti-tank.
mircea_popescu: im sure it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's the intent. leaks like a sieve, not like i don't get done precisely what i want. it takes some screaming, which i got a large store of.
asciilifeform: there was yet another level of idjicy in ro, that i discovered, where they won't sell the shit to foreigners
asciilifeform: when you haven't with what to pay the whole invoice, or anyone who might ever wish to buy it for even 1% of what it cost
mircea_popescu: yup. owner won't sell "at a loss".
mircea_popescu: anyway, if i for some reason walk into dnc office odds are stupid fat woman will similarly misbehave ; and the "bitch, i diselected your ur-whore" isn't gonna happen there more than in messipissland.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't go so far as 'can't', but we're talking 'lease $B plant for 6mo.' sort of figure.
mircea_popescu: ie, i can't fucking have an arbitrary chip made.
mircea_popescu: i don't suspect they're well understood.
mircea_popescu: because no, "every picture comes with crayons now" is not very smart ; and it's perversely, recursively nonsmart ("can't make polaroid, no way to produce attachable crayons -- maybe 3d print them ???")
mircea_popescu: there's two possible reasons you don't have a definition for a fpga you're happy with : either we're not yet enough advanced for one (to use, to make, whatever), or that it is ouytright an escher object.
asciilifeform: and pretty much the ideal 'nonspecificity of diddling' platform, it is quite impossible to meaningfully boobytrap fpga fabric if you don't have foreknowledge of what will go into it and precisely where.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-25#1865788 << thanks for the resolution, i wasn't sure if my insistence on my original (that is temp file in .) approach was sensible or not. "canonical" in this case was whether or not that's something we do, not whether or not that's something unix does ☝︎
mircea_popescu: up to you whether to make a dir or not ; eventually these will end up in that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865314 -- but the only way that happens is if you try things and then productively disagree with people. i've nfi at the moment whether we do or we don't want single temp files in a tmp dir nevertheless, or anything else ; and i absolutely do not wish to ever do (or will ever permit anyone to) sit around and "think ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 04:57 mircea_popescu: what, the supposed interloper can't hash is the idea ?
mircea_popescu: what, the supposed interloper can't hash is the idea ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865384 << i confess i don't understand what's being authenticated. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: not wasted effort even if we don't end up baking it, logs will reflect a dated pricepoint, which is soemthing.
BingoBoingo: Don't forget to pack the camera
phf: i grok the reasoning, but there are two issues: as of right now nobody's mounting to nfs, but at least in my stack tmp is not always as secure as other places i might be pressing, and the patch doesn't respect the environment TMP/TMPDIR convention.
mod6: (if it doesn't take too much time to look into anyway, could be interesting data)
mod6: *nod* Ok. T'was interesting anyway. Cheers.
asciilifeform: i can't picture against whom such 'replay' would possibly do anyffing, tho
BingoBoingo: The declaration that one isn't a pink manhooker isn't something the Uruguayos would say, but they understand it.
BingoBoingo: Bad spanish comes in two flavors: Intelligible and Unitelligable. The Uruguayos have all sorts of sayings that aren't translatable to proper spanish, which they use for ingroup signallying. This means bad spanish intentionally used against the Uruguayos and Uruguayas needs to be A/B tested.
asciilifeform: i can't picture how it could hurt, tho. having a working artifact in yer hand readily distinguishes you from the indian 'my CREATIVE BIZNISS IDEA!111' folx.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-23 04:35 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865276 << don't waste your time with that, let it emerge naturally.
asciilifeform: if it weren't for struct sockaddr_in..., struct in_addr..., i'd've simply imported the calls via pragma Import(C, ... )
asciilifeform: i suspected shitfork, when realized that the 501 blox gotta be a few kB most, ea. -- my pipe couldn't disgorge 501 human-sized blox in <2sec ☟︎
asciilifeform: Mocky: it dun replace rsa, you can't sign with it, or speak to >1 counterparty . but imho has its uses
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> meanwhile, in heathen lulz, https://archive.is/B9hHc#selection-9797.129-9817.37 << ye olde lukejr, 'http://therealbitcoin.org (which is NOT a full node, mind you)' << Has been addressed. Turns out I STILL haven't been banned (likely from not using the thing) https://twitter.com/BBoingo/status/1054795688679272450
Mocky: ok, i don't see a hole in it
asciilifeform: either you get the ack, or you don't
asciilifeform: the method where you exchange cards, has 2 wins: it is not enuff for enemy to get copy of simply 1 card, must get one of each ; and rng failure on 1 side doesn't sink you, you get combined reliability of the 2 rng's ( perhaps yours is of 1 type, and other fella's -- another )
Mocky: sd card slot has merit. for iron otptron even two slots is not going overboard imo if it doesn't overcomplicate the design, since generally will need two copies and may prefer not to plug into general purpose comp
asciilifeform: ( if it isn't obvious to the reader -- the salt would have to be unique per-board, naturally )
diana_coman: I can't say that I see a clear suggestion on how to solve that though
asciilifeform: i wouldn't even be opposed to putting usb logic on FG -- but to this very day have not found a sane (i.e. not reflashable via usb) interface ic , aside from the chinese dongles ( which i outboarded, because if a piece can be outboarded -- it oughta, per specificity-of-diddling )
diana_coman: (I just don't want to carry about Interfaces.Unsigned_8 everywhere)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i can see it ; i like octet also, but yeah, can't start forcing this cultural issue on people. a one line define i guess only reasonable approach at this point.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman re http://ossasepia.com/2018/10/18/smg-comms-chapter-3-packing-serpent/#selection-85.346-85.466 wouldn't it be better to have a single style for this ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 22:44 asciilifeform: relatedly, mod6 et al, i suggest abolition of '-verifyall' flag, it should really be permanently welded on, bypassing sig tests doesn't win ~anyffin in so far as i can tell

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865268 << they aren't ; but bad peer set can produce it also, and often enough does. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yeah, no, those don't really happen anymore. even 1s are rare(r).
mod6: I can't disagree with that.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 22:44 asciilifeform: relatedly, mod6 et al, i suggest abolition of '-verifyall' flag, it should really be permanently welded on, bypassing sig tests doesn't win ~anyffin in so far as i can tell
mircea_popescu: cuz the latter indeed doesn't happen, expensive mienr failuire
asciilifeform: cuz i can't say that i have, on my watch
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 22:19 ben_vulpes: haven't made checkpoints configurable, so solipsist nodes won't even mine
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc ben_vulpes had an experiment that demanded custom 'checkpoints' but i do not nao recall what it was ( and can't seem to turn up in l0gz )
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine it being useful for current.
asciilifeform: i can't picture wanting any old cpp crapola in trbi in general
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't hurt anything.
asciilifeform: relatedly, mod6 et al, i suggest abolition of '-verifyall' flag, it should really be permanently welded on, bypassing sig tests doesn't win ~anyffin in so far as i can tell ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it doesn't actually speed up sync ( alert long-time readers will know why : sig verification, contrary to the spew of the prb people, is NOT bottleneck for acceptblock() , rather tx indexing is )
Mocky: yes, a few of them. but waffles here are like a desert gimmick, covered in thick layers of chocolate sauce or the like. they don't take this shit serious
BingoBoingo: billymg: I hadn't seen that one yet. Nice take on the TrannyCoC problem.
lobbes: billymg: there may also be opportunities selling for pizarro. If you think you could be good at that couldn't hurt to check with them
billymg: BingoBoingo: don't know if you saw this https://www.sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html << sqlite project gets pressured into adopting a CoC, publishes troll CoC based on chapter 4 of The Rule of St. Benedict
lobbes: for some reason 'bleached skin' and 'hot desert sun' don't go well together in my mind O-o
lobbes: asciilifeform: ayup. but it doesn't matter if actually works even. just needs to 'look like it works' to whichever group of agents
asciilifeform: the instruments for which they didn't have 'excel'-izers, were i/o'd by... human hands
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
asciilifeform: it doesn't meaningfully cache computations
mircea_popescu: i don't see that it does ; nor is ram expensive enough to justify work.
asciilifeform: would be major improvement, tho, if serving up a 10kB article didn't eat 500MB.
mircea_popescu: if one were to take this tack, couldn't even turn on computer, gotta fix desk first to be even smoother.
asciilifeform doesn't disagree
asciilifeform: billymg: ( trb, for instance, doesn't even support dns lookup. i cut it with own hands; eats bare ip. )
asciilifeform: Mocky: i think i've yet to meet somebody who wouldn't rather write msdos batch script, than php..
Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi to python for comments ☟︎
asciilifeform: would be pretty great if instruction to 'i want blog' n00b wasn't 'install this here 200MB of ??? liquishit', but instead 'build this here 100kB ada'.
lobbes: would be a nice luxury to have. Every time I've used php, I wished I wasn't using
lobbes: hm interesting. I too have hands tied up but have been meaning to get a few chapters of ffa under my belt. I'll jot this idea down for far off in the conveyor if someone else doesn't get to it first (and by all means, Someone: feel free to beat me to this punch)
Mocky: also, central air units don't feed the chumpatron. room units: huge market constantly turning, repairmen "fixing", "workers" installing, refurbishers
mircea_popescu: (this wouldn't be a very high standard clean room, but 80s level tech quite achievable. whole shtick is to have the controlled airlflow, pressurizing the room.)
asciilifeform doesn't have a 'clean room' in the chip fab sense, but did install a multistage circulating filter thing in machine room, it actually worx pretty well re cutting downtime for fan cleanings etc
