phf: mircea_popescu: sorry about not picking up mushrooms, right after i finished the port, i did a move to DC area, and then, after few days, left for a trade show, which i just came back from. i started working on a text only client for eulora, but i didn't get far enough to claim my items with it.
phf: which brings me to the point that i have folders for all but "make new hardware" item in that list of b-a scope in various states of disarray, and it would be great if there was some prioritization, like it was the case with eulora "oh we need this done, you do it".
☟︎ phf: i have some code for gossipd, i'm going to by the spec that's published on trilema, rather then follow up conversation about udp and first packet validation. i wrote enough in c to be able to prime gpg machinery and send packets over the wire (which basically coveres things that i wasn't sure how to do before i started), then i switched to common lisp to get a prototype up. what came out of that so far is updated bindings for lisp
phf: support of gpgme. the bindings come standard with gpgme release, but what's there was not updated since 2008. officially artifex is still working on that, but i take it nobody's heard from him in a while?
mod6: eh, i think that was supposed to point at the treasurers document

mircea_popescu: re the meat : all of these are major projects, the expectation, imo reasonable, is that whoever decides to work on one starts by publishing code, which will vehehehery likely need refactoring perhaps even redesign. because we're here shooting in the dark. so rather than managerial idiocy, i much prefer somnething like how v worked out.
mircea_popescu: publish a prototype, im sure alf will be more than happy to look through it, plenty other people will test it etc.
mod6: maybe it was the charter
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they're not a dead end for the following reason : the P must be a stand-alone building block anyway.
mircea_popescu: they'll, if nothing else, help us understand the api to it.
mircea_popescu: but i want it to be one thing and everyone statically links IT
trinque: punkman: what did those values in the URL stand for, and I can just regenerate them from what I pulled from your sqlite
mircea_popescu: so in this sense the design is sane, as he has it. callout to "gpg", to be replaced by p
phf: asciilifeform: gpgme doesn't exactly "calls out", it talks to gpg via a text protocol, but i agree with your overall point. gossip has a fixed set of crypto operations, that can be abstracted, until you finish your crypto state machine gizmo.
mircea_popescu: if we manage to avoid the insane state of importing openssl bondogle to do crypto we're so far ahead of the game...
phf: as far as lisp, yeah, not practical for deployment, but i started getting bogged down in trivial serialization questions, before i understand clearly how the whole system is supposed to work. once i get the spec as is up, i want to start working through those comments to modify it into a udp lower level system. in any case lisp is better option for gossip prototype, because the spec is so open ended
mircea_popescu: so gossipd is practically going to be lisp hand-compiled ot c ?
phf: i'm pretty bad a dijkstra programming, i need to see the system behave to reason clearly about it, and c is not it. besides the translation is the tirvial part
mircea_popescu: phf you're not required to agree to this inasmuch as you're using your own time & hands.
mircea_popescu: write it in lua if that's genuinely what works for you.
phf: asciilifeform: boehm gc?
mircea_popescu: if you end in this situation where you have a beautiful prototype and a buggy implementation people are going to hate you.
phf: it's a tried and true strategy, original javascript has been done that way. i recently learned that that's the way dot-net garbage collector was written
phf: not the best examples, i agree :>

trinque: jurov: links in the declaration and qntra piece are afaik pointing to the right place, pending punkman's indication on how to generate the values he was using for URLs
mircea_popescu is rather partial to the concept of "god damned it source code should be written in essay form what is this machine serving bs"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the only case where a "source is the spec" could be excused, is properly written knuth c.
mircea_popescu: obviously if you break the principle you break the principle.
phf: i like that the end result can be wholly signed and produces a spiffy dvi for printing
phf: it doesn't necessarily has to be particularly intrusive, i've looked at some of his "hacks", and they are very lightly annotated, but the partitioning still makes more sense that the direct flow of a c file
mircea_popescu: whjat i mean by "best practices sorta thing" : nobody;'s going to hang you if you don't do it, but should seriously consider doing it.
phf: in any case that's, so far, the best option i found for keeping the evils of c at a slight distance. at least interested parties can read and inspect the code, without skipping tricky parts

pete_dushenski just realised how shocked he'd be to find a fibreglass-framed window anywhere in greece
punkman: how's fibreglass work for that
pete_dushenski: also, because it expands and contracts at essentially the same rate as the glazing, the window seals are stressed markedly less, improving the system's longevity by reducing condensation and air infiltration

☟︎ punkman: "But replying to email on mobile is a real pain, even for short replies." oh so Android sucks for doing anything?
pete_dushenski: "Another bizarre feature of our early prototype was its propensity to respond with “I love you” to seemingly anything. As adorable as this sounds, it wasn’t really what we were hoping for. Some analysis revealed that the system was doing exactly what we’d trained it to do, generate likely responses -- and it turns out that responses like “Thanks", "Sounds good", and “I love you” are super common --
pete_dushenski: so the system would lean on them as a safe bet if it was unsure. Normalizing the likelihood of a candidate reply by some measure of that response's prior probability forced the model to predict responses that were not just highly likely, but also had high affinity to the original message. This made for a less lovey, but far more useful, email assistant.
pete_dushenski: We’re actually pretty amazed at how well this works. We’ll be rolling this feature out on Inbox for Android and iOS later this week, and we hope you’ll try it for yourself!

mircea_popescu: yeah, just moving into the blessed state where the commands no longer do anything.
ascii_field still astounded by the sheer genius of the ln2 suicide machine
ascii_field: it just needs an ultrasonic thing to powder the icicle
ben_vulpes waves from the small and unimportant parts
ascii_field: and i distinctly recall ln2 powdering being offered as a sort of alt-cremation service somewhere

mircea_popescu: ascii_field "useless information is worse than no information, because idiots will now think they know something"
ascii_field: i get the chumpatronic aspect, but find it hard to believe that anyone could be fooled
ascii_field: it has to be one of those item built specifically for the eager self-deluded
mircea_popescu: nobody needs to actulaly be fooled. just as long as they keep churning out this sort of crud and it's being reacted to, it's really no different from the idiot who "ai"replies to emails and imagines that this imbalance of power with his readership is useful to him
punkman: question is why isn't tumblr raging against binary gender web analytics
mircea_popescu: same exact fucking process, in the words of carlin, "a group of people trying to fuck each other a little deeper, a little faster, every time".

mircea_popescu: kid getting to choose college will predictably not go to the one that actually teaches something.
mircea_popescu: used to be. their slow death was chronicled in that brit's piece linked in the log on occasion.
ascii_field went to the tail end of something quite like it
mircea_popescu: by now, obviously kid is more likely to "go to college" than summon up his entire extended family and make each person eat some of his shit at a great family reunion, "because you people suck"
mircea_popescu: "no mom, i'm not holding a wedding. i'm holding a "you people suck" party, attendance is mandatory, and you will all have to delight in my excrement while telling me how just like pork and beans it tastes"
mircea_popescu: because sure as hell i'm not doing it to your dumbass excrement.
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose a generation war - in the proper, 20th century sense, with mass rapes, mass graves and concentration camps - was ever this morally necessary. forget justified, it's not that it's justified, it is that it's a sine qua non mandatory requirement, just like hanging the nazis.
mircea_popescu: now consider that nero lived in very similar times, and all of a suden you might see the lad as a very heroic figure.
mircea_popescu is persuaded that if he lived at that time, he would have also set rome on fire and fiddled while it burned, also made horses senators and in general, the whole nine yards. it's a historical necessity.
