ben_vulpes: in other open sores chuckles "The encoded strings in the tests were created with Andresen's unmodified code, so they are correct. Probably."
phf: asciilifeform: the blog post presumably will always link to the latest version?
phf: only issue with the regrind approach is clerical. it's easy to keep track of "this new thing that i don't have", much harder to keep all the "this old thing that i have is now new thing" updates
mod6: shinohai: o7 thank, /you/, Sir.
phf: oh that was entirely unfair thing to do, apparently a111 wasn't in limbo, but it's happy sept to oct log rotation day
ben_vulpes: saturday the first of october, in which ben_vulpes (re?)discovers that bitcoin uses its own inane encoding scheme for addresses
shinohai: a111 is staging a October revolution perhaps
ben_vulpes: addrs have a bloody checksum; dafuq is this "human mistake amelioration" crap
ben_vulpes would dearly like to know how base58 is not another wart of pointless complexity
phf: heh, scalpl is now part of quicklisp
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i like base 58 and the checksum. and i like the little metal flaps on wrong side of saw
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what do you like about b58? the checksum should be all that's necessary, right?
phf:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/327488 lamport parachute PoC in common lisp (it has soft dependency on ironclad for sha256, but otherwise follows the design in that own function can be substituted)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what'd have been wrong with b64?
ben_vulpes: i'm going to have to do it in ruby at this rate
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the checksum should address that, no?
phf: darwin lispworks 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
shinohai: At least asciilifeform was kind enough to present this in bash
shinohai: Now I shall see parentheses in my sleep
phf: i suspect that the text marshaling that shell script does (as far as overhead over "pure c") is insubstantial compared to otherwise demanding and ~~cpu level sha256
shinohai: >>> ;;Great boobies honeybun, my lower intestine is full of spam
phf: actually that time is totally random, because it involves reading privkey out of /dev/random
phf: hmm, it's all ironclad's sha256. doing it with a dummy #(0 ...) digest drops it to 4.6mb
phf: no wai, ironclad is pure lisp
phf: well, then you have a hitler diddled copy, ironclad's tagline always has been "entirely in common lisp"
phf: i suspect what's happening is that the convenience call in that i'm using is allocating digest support structs on each invocation
phf: we've had this thread, and i'm not going into that one again
phf: darwin's /dev/random is marginally slower than /dev/urandom, but then it's a closed source os, for all i know both feed directly from nsa headquarters
phf: though i think /dev/random is still in the opensourced parts of os
phf: but! this was the extent of my free hacking time for this weekend. if there aren't any glaring bugs i might attempt to make it cons-free
phf: pure as a lisp exercise
shinohai would like to see BingoBoingo's parachute cross-stitched
BingoBoingo: Not cross stitched. Needle point is for directing the silk worms as they spin parachute.
shinohai: The silkworms in this area are only capable of sha1, I need better worms.
shinohai: You can have them all tbh, they eat all the Mulberry trees and prevent me from harvesting great wines
BingoBoingo: See that's your problem. You gotta feed them better.
BingoBoingo: And by better I mean San Pedro cactus so they trip balls and naturally make parachute instead of cocoon
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i like that there's no serif glyph powered ambiguity.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo plox to include deed url in report from now on, that way i can link to qntra piece rather than to deed from trilema.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo plox to include deed url in report from now on, that way i can link to qntra piece rather than to deed from trilema. << ty, will do.
shinohai: Oct. 1 so happy 2nd Qntra anniversary BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: shinohai: You're a day early. Tomorrow closes year 2
shinohai: I still have time to buy celebratory items
BingoBoingo: The historical asp opposed to statementical which closes November
shinohai would like to have a QNtra mascot shirt to wear to a blm protest
BingoBoingo: Litereally, the reallier looking snake plants look like they were shooped in from a home decorating magazine spread
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm penning a humongo piece, hopefully be done by tonight.

trinque: asciilifeform: got the pill applied, last call to dump_forever() failed but the lines preceding looked to be a successful firmware write
jurov: They may be smoking dope. Still, they decided to do their thing, instead of sitting on various stakes working for other people.
trinque: can't get gdb connected to it yet, but connecting to it directly either with cu or telnet reports: SmartProbe: 3.2_3743
trinque: so it appears the thing survived?
trinque: gdb either via serial or net reports: Remote failure reply: E81
trinque: and in the right direction
trinque: cable comes out away from the board
jurov: asciilifeform: reductio ad microsoftum ;)
trinque: heh that just occurred to me
jurov: gabriel_laddel on steroids, i guess.

These are people, you think, who are fit to challenge Mozart who wrote a hundred pieces or more of music. And then you get puzzled that, in this modern world, there should be so many Mozarts - almost one for every department. The more prosaic truth emerges when you scan the titles
mircea_popescu: "This essay is a lightly edited transcript of a series of posts I made to the Shen news group in the middle of 2015. They highlighted the failure of the open source initiative in the project, analysed the reasons and suggested a successful formula for moving the project forward. The posts led to the formation of the much more dynamic closed source Shen Professional. The lessons here are widely applicable to many open sourc
mircea_popescu: e projects and developers may find the material interesting."
mircea_popescu: myeah ok, i can't see anything past "here's tmsr in blockchain form".
mircea_popescu: whole piece seems pretty much the #trilema talking points. including "giving away your power" unreferenced ballas - as - processed stuff etc.
mircea_popescu: neway, dood is more than welcome to his delusional kingdom. not the first one.
mircea_popescu: or in yarvin's revolutionary-language clubs, or in "less wrong" to learn all about how to have a slavegirl while calling her a dragon or w/e is currently fashionable in manga world, and so on and so forth.

trinque: asciilifeform: reseated it inside the sage, now got E64, which seems reasonable?
trinque: "monitor" command not supported by this target << having issued "monitor reset"
trinque: any particular order to boot the devices? I figured sage, then gizmo
trinque: I'll have to fiddle with it a while and figure out why I'm seeing E64, but seems like I'm close.
shinohai: I have successfully stuffed asciilifeform 's Lamport functions into a single bash script. Now for cleanup.
mircea_popescu: it's really too bad there's like nothing happening in teh republic these days.
mircea_popescu: especially as they're now getting imported into fucking foundational work
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform even a pdf to png transfer, with the images pasted on a html page, would be preferrable.
mircea_popescu: sigh. this is a major problem in search of a solution.
mircea_popescu: this whole tex/svg/png/pdf/fuckall thing is becoming a major problem.
trinque: asciilifeform: so far always receiving E64 when I load gdbinit.txt, gizmo is booted to the point where it asked me to press a key on the keypad
trinque: the LCD on the plugged board says "press a key"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it seems highly unlikely that any usg.* matter will be usable verbatim anyway. we will have to maintain our own, ~correctable~ versions of their manuals anyway.
mircea_popescu: so the notion of pigging the spam is not entirely without merit ; impossible as it may be.
mircea_popescu: (this being WHY they publish in the fucking crud in the first place, of course. pdf, enemy of humanity in every which way already.)
trinque: but then the gizmo is not halted, right? it's asking me to press any key "to exit keypad test"
trinque: upon which it cycles back through the boot process
mircea_popescu: seems ~the only liable to be productive way forward is offering rewards for stolen originals.

trinque: only differences were /dev/cuaU0 and installing recent gdb
