mod6: (little endian style)
mod6: Because normally, that same number, on paper, would be: 00000000000000000000000000000100
mod6: I totally see her point.
mod6: I try to keep it in my mind that this is an ~array~ of words. And in my head, arrays grow left to right. Or bottom up.
☟︎ mod6: So, I guess I thought I had all of it making sense in my mind. But tell me if I'm wrong! Then I'll have to re-read that first chapter again with my misunderstandings corrected.
mod6: So if what I had previously believed above is true, and it would seem to considering my understanding of FZ_Add for instance, then "most junior bits on the left" makes sense to me, but "FZ_Get_Head" seems perhaps a bit confusing. Although, when I typically "getHead()" or "getTail()" I expect to get the 0-ith index, or the nth, respectively.
mod6: where '0100' is in the 0-ith array position, or if one were to look at it this way, the bottom of the stack, or the left.
mod6: [0100] [0000] [0000] [0000] [0000] [0000] [0000] [0000]
mod6: Ok, so maybe you can help me out here. I always looked at an FZ as an array of Words, or a Stack if one prefers to look at it this way. Where, if I'm going to make an FZ number '4', it would be set in the array like (i'll use 4 bits per word to save space):
mod6: And before I comment a whole bunch further, her notes make me rethink what I had thought I had known about. So I'll try to grab some time soon and load these things back into my head.
mod6: alright, I've read the article, so I see what you're referring to now.
mod6: Ah, ok then cool. I'll report back once I read it. cheers!
mod6: lol, sorry, I was just trying to update quick and go. lemme dig into what you're really asking me here.
mod6: You want me to screen shot it so you can see what I'm seeing?
mod6: I'll be sure to point out anything in chapters that makes me feel like I'm doing disproportionate mental-gymnastics for sure.
mod6: Thanks, so yeah, her post is in my queue to read. But I have seen the above diagram before ^, and it looked "ok" to me, but I haven't read that far ahead yet.
mod6: Seems ok to me on my horiz display, and seems to also be ok on vert on a mobile browser
mod6: 'tis all I've got for the moment. Will holler if I've got any Q's or comments. o7
mod6: Did build keccak vtools on cuntoo, whole ffa tree verifies there. pressed just through chapter 1, did a gprbuild on that first chapter, no errors, works great.
mod6: asciilifeform: You may be correct. trinque and I were discussing it, there may have been others. Just wanted the republic to know that I didn't vaporize, nor forget.
mod6: This month has been insane-level busy for me, but I'll try to get my head around it by month-end so I can speak to the topic intelligently.
mod6: There are probably others in the Republic more versed in these things, but I'll still try to learn more about it this month regardless.
mod6: I did a very shallow dive on what "bridging" is about, conceptually about a week ago. Since I'm way out of my depth on this one, I haven't reached out to anyone on Undernet yet, just because when I do, I would like to have some idea of what I'm talking about.
mod6: I did recently stand up an ircd-ratbox (last month), but I was not thinking about it with any sense.
mod6: This was like, twenty years ago or some such thing.
mod6: Read through and digested the first chapter of ffa, just need to add my seal to your blog when I have a spare few minutes. Regarding the irc stuffs, I've one time, stood up a ircd-hybrid and connected it to a friends of the same as a "peer".
mod6:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-16#1908650 << Hi there! A brief synopsis of what I've been working on with my limited time over the last couple of weeks here; Read-up about ave1's GNAT, built it, deployed to cuntoo successfully, a blog post is forthcoming as a bit of a summary of what I did there.
☝︎ mod6: Alright, cool. Will hit ya up then when ready to place order. Cheers!
mod6: Ah, cool. Got 5 or 10? I wore mine around recently, some people asked about 'em.
mod6: asciilifeform: Are there any more ,,!,, NSA shirts available?

mod6: Evenin' all, the Bitcoin Foundation report will be delayed by a few more days than normal (typically I have it out by the 1st); it'll be done before April 5th though. Just a heads up.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ack
mod6: I gotta step away for now, but I appreciate it. We'll keep discussing this stuff. Maybe that's 50% of my problem, not enough chats.
mod6: Anyway, it's not done being shaved just yet. But I'm getting there. So that's what I've been doing last few days.
mod6: Which, to trinque's point, the tool that really helps (I had forgotton about this) is the `make menuconfig` search.
mod6: I've been working, in the recent few days since "irc-server!!1", on just shaving the yak of my cuntoo-kernel.
mod6: Yeah, thanks for your input.
mod6: It gives me a bit to chew on here.
mod6: Well, maybe this is good. Nice little chat about all of this.
mod6: I think with some steering, maybe we can get this thing back on track.
mod6: Well, when I'm done, I'd like to discuss it more with you.
mod6: I'm gonna keep reading, I'm about 60% of the way through the trilogy.
mod6: The book is starting to help me, strange as it might seem, to see how all of this might go.
mod6: You've got a vision, sometimes for me to see it, takes some thinking, some reading. I'm kinda slow, but I tend to get there with time.
mod6: That's on my list, too.
mod6: Not that it's all very related, but I can draw some similarities between The Foundation, and what The Bitcoin Foundation ~should~ be.
mod6: I'm starting to make some sense of what "a stanford" means (when you say it).
mod6: Yeah, I'm reading that book, finally.
mod6: Have you read The Foundation?
mod6: So, if I'd have waited I may have said something different.
mod6: I posted my response to your Lordship article before you made me realize about my retardation of the irc-server/network thing.
mod6: Well, if you don't think it's any sort of problem to see if I can somehow get back on the right track with the republic, I'm willing to let it go at that, wait and see until next year.
mod6: But with a lack of serious time and focus, it's difficult to get there, right now anyway. I don't want to get neg-rated if think continue the same way for me this year.
mod6: it's not the old days of yore, and I've got to get better, I've got to improve.
mod6: But, I think you're right. The republic is getting harder to interface with.
mod6: heh, well, it could just be, as you said earlier, maybe I'm just braindamaged. lol, I probably am, I've been hit in the head enough.
mod6: yeah, the irc-server thing was a good example. With the foundation, I feel like I very well executed what was in the charter. As far as the outreach, I think I had a hard time with that part.
mod6: I just started "doing things", as opposed to thinking about it properly.
mod6: I mean, like duh, why would I have thought that making an irc-network was a good idea?
mod6: And for what it's worth, during that time, and since, I've done a lot of reflection, trying to adjust myself to the republic. Being in a hurry all the time, lack of time, seems to make me not think through what I'm doing, or the bigger picture.
mod6: I'm pretty hard on myself, I'd like to think anyway.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> did you take some time off to change, or did you give us some time off maybe we come to our senses ? << Very much the former, I'd like to think it's not my way to put my problems onto others or place blame onto others.
mod6: This is pretty hard to keep up with, leaving me further and further behind.
mod6: And with all the other things that I've got going, I'm putting in like 10-20% per day, max.
mod6: Something of that nature.
mod6: Because like we discussed before, some paraphrasing "man puts in 20% of time is 20% of a man".
mod6: I'd rather protect my rating, than be on the lordship list.
mod6: Well, I think my lack of overall time to consume all things TMSR leaves me at a disadvantage. And I care about it very much, and I seem to just keep getting it wrong. I don't want to be a barrier or a problem. And I'm not sure when I'll have all the time that it takes, or the time that I desire.
mod6: But everytime I try to climb, out I go right back in. I'm sort of, stuck in a nasty loop.
mod6: So anyway, I get ancy, trying to keep up, do helpful things, get out of the ditch, so to speak.
mod6: (This is fine for the moment)
mod6: For whatever reason, I've been a bit off balance since February of '18 -- maybe just took some huge risks that didn't quite go my way. And since our discussion where I realized, as well as you wall, that I just don't have enough time to keep up in here; I think this is impacting my everything when it comes to TMSR.
mod6: This is hard, so I'm trying to put it all down here, so bear with me.
mod6: I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, going over our converstaion back from November 11th, other conversations as well. After taking that month or so off (was it 6 weeks?), I tried to ease myself back into TMSR~ related things, but I haven't been very successful.
mod6: mircea_popescu: You around?
mod6: Oh, yeah, looks like I'm way behind on that article's comments. I'll read up, stop wasting time.
mod6: Haven't tried. Was thinking we might make our own net until gossipd, whenever that might be.
mod6: But looking good so far!
mod6: Update here: Got the irc server built with the proper nick/topic lengths, also ratbox-services configured with the same. Finally got the ratbox-services to connect successfully to the server, but I'm still doing minor config changes there.
mod6: Going to also be adding in nickserv/chanserv, some other services. Will announce when it's back up for testing. Cheers.
mod6: I'm going to be rebuilding the new irc server tonight to include NICKLENs of 24 chars (fleabag has a max of 16, trinque also checked, an no current regiesterd nick in deedbot is >24), TOPICLEN of 390 chars (for uberlong topics/urls etc), and USERREGLENs of also 24.
mod6: asciilifeform: cool, no rush or anything. it's gonna be some effort to get it all shined up and ready.
mod6: forwarn: just noticed that the nick maxlen is 9. I'll have to recompile, probably tomorrow.
