sina: public holiday here in AU!
sina: it's a beautiful day after raining all weekend, and from my education birds are having sex with bees
sina: mircea_popescu: haha do I dare ask the meaning of "anal day"?
sina: haha yeah, here "down under" is literally burned into the subconcious to mean "Australia" so we don't grok the phrase the same way
sina: it doesn't receive identicall connotations :P
hanbot: lol gratuitous pooning
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, isn't it a wonder latrina isn't a racial slur ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, "i dunno what's with todd these days, he keeps fucking all these latrinas"...
sina: I dunno, I feel like it's a bit in the vein of "winblows"
sina: Stallmanesque insults
sina: mircea_popescu: are you secretly Richard Stallman?
sina: that'd make so much sense!
hanbot: sina yer just a downer under ;D
sina: I have a fierce craving for burger today
sina: hey I was going to ask about WoT
sina: so is deedbot the canonical WoT source?
sina: and I noticed you can ask it for an S-expression of the entire WoT, that's cool
sina: so you can run your own "slave"
sina: but, deedbot doesn't slave to anything itself?
sina: so (and maybe I am missing the point), you can't really "run your own node"
sina: um...as in, the logical topology of the WoT is a ...web... but to join the web you enter via a tree structure where the root is master, and all other nodes are slaves
sina: (deedbot being the root)
sina: but one can only be rated via deedbot
sina: not saying that is good or bad, just asking in the general capability of the system
mircea_popescu: now, the formalism for recording that rating currently in overwhelming use is !!rate. there is no rule that thios must be so. it is currently so for convenience, and because deedbot is trustworthy. either of these can change, but this would affect little : the party who trusts you can enter that trust into the public record through whatever command
sina: the reason I ask is because last night I was thinking of a more coin style WoT, where everyone runs a node, there is an immutable shared log of ratings
sina: because I sometimes think things? :P
sina: it means you can rate from any node
mircea_popescu: yes, but for the things in your head to be called thinking, they must proceed form a basis. what is here the basis ?
sina: the basis I guess is, substituing the trustworthiness of a single bot with a cryptographic chain, being able to run your own "full node" of the WoT, which gives access to secondary/tertiary networks to participate via a gateway, etc
sina: not arguing this should be done, only relating the source of my thoughts which lead to the questions
sina: because I didn't know, maybe deedbot already does this kind of thing
mircea_popescu: did you read an' understand the "what the wot is" article ?
sina: is that the deedbot.org/help.html page?
sina: reading now, so you think the idea contravenes those principles?
mircea_popescu: i think the idea discusses an item not related to the actual item.
mircea_popescu: much like "wouldn't it be cool to make cars out of cardboard, they'd be easier to paint that way" misses the whole car thing
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the problem with cardboard is keeping it painted
sina: mircea_popescu: can you walk me through the hypothetical example case where you have woken up one morning and decided for some valid reason (e.g. deedbot WoT contents no longer match your local copy) that deedbot is no longer trustworthy but urgently want to enter a rating for me of -10 into the public record?
sina: do you just post a message here saying "deedbot sucks, I have rates sina -10 in my local copy, which should now be considered canonical via mpbot"?
mircea_popescu: in practice it'd likely look a lot more like hey trinque wtf is this, followed by everyone perking up and an answer of some kind being produced and so on.
sina: lets say trinque modified it himself because he got syphilis
mircea_popescu: the fundamental flaw in your earlier mental process, which is periodically discussed in the logs, is that you try to take trust as an objective. trust isn't an objective, the reason i trust you is because I TRUST YOU, not because deedbot says i do. and the ONLY use of the knowledge that i trust you is that you can ask me about you. nothing else.
mircea_popescu: exactly opposite of the imperial certificate bullshit, which is 100% george costanza going "it's true i did nothing all week, but bear in mind i am in the smaller office". ie, "can you doctor ?" "no, not rly... but i do have a doctoring CERTIFICATE"
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else.
☟︎ sina: I think I asked you this long ago, but you keep a local copy of the WoT and expect others to as well right?
mircea_popescu: not really expect anything. people are supposed to do their own thinking for themselves. but i expect i'd notice if my ratings weren't right.
mircea_popescu: review the gossipd discussions, they're instructive on the topic.
sina: yes I have been working my way through those
sina: although there seems to be a huge amount of contention
sina: between how you view those discussions and for example, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: in fairness it's a large ball of yarn and while it flows splendidly from itself, nevertheless it does flow exactlty opposite to ~everyone's acculturation in the soviet empire.
sina: from my understanding of your view
sina: it's something like UUCP + crypto authentication
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't my impression there's substantial disagreement.
sina: an old protocol normally used for peering usenet
sina: with a fair bit of disagreement
mircea_popescu: there's a process to working out a mental image of a text. it involves inter alia building alternative models.
mircea_popescu: for perfect meta : re the matter of whether there is or there is not substantial disagreement, we aren't yet disagreeing. so far we're just trying to come to terms.
mircea_popescu: thyis is a fractally repeating point : the reason "social learning" as modelled by redditards doesn't work irl is the indirection layer. the reason gossipd is undefeatable in practice is... the indirection layer.
mircea_popescu: the reason textual methods do not work in practice is... the indirection layer. and so on.
mircea_popescu: "oh but he said nigger 85 times!!" "yes but he just uses that to denote tomatoes."
mircea_popescu: the expectation that if you listen in a conversation of people you don't know you'll nevertheless be able to discern what is being said is pretty much THE thing distinguishing the esl anglotard from actual thinking people with a functioning head and part of a culture etc.
mircea_popescu: (and yes "multiculturalism" is the cheapo excuse of lazy stupid people to not have an actual culture ; much like "the convenience" of fast food is the excuse inept housewives use to not work the kitchen.)
sina: that reminds me I need to eat food
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 02:13 mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else.
trinque: this, to someone with a brain, is ample incentive
trinque: meanwhile sina, you get to discover whether there are such folks in the world as can maintain a db of numbers without diddling them... to think!
sina: no offense meant trinque, just a hypothetical
mircea_popescu: it's really not so different from yest when you and ben_vulpes were working on the mpfhf.
mircea_popescu: or when candi lust was made, or when absolutely anything else tmsr-happened.
sina: trinque: you might not have the specific form of syphilis which induces number diddling, but can you protect against... COSMIC RAYS
trinque: thing has daily backups and logs of all interactions
mircea_popescu: unlike the github cathedral-of-garbage-built-by-anonyous-rats-randomly-ambling about, there's actual people in charge which means the buck always stops somewhere. so it's not exactly "bug reports", it's more in the vein of "and here's your summons to parliament"
mircea_popescu: sina and if it becomes an issue, it can be logified. the logger was originally single item you know.
sina: sorry, that was just me trying to troll you
mircea_popescu: in fact, deedbot was intended to be federated from the get go... or in fact no. the item deedbot replaced because the operator got syphilis (ie, assbot) was created specifically because failure of previous item (operator travelled unexpectedly, thing went down -- tis all in the logs) and was intended to be federated from the get-go
sina: see this was the original source of my questioning
mircea_popescu: except nanotube never actually fixed gribble, for whatever reason (such as for instance - because it wasn't erroneously broken but deliberately broken)
sina: "maybe deedbot does something similar to what I was thinking"
sina: so does it federate trinque?
trinque: sina: it does in that nothing stops you from copying the wot sexp at an interval, doing whatever things your castle likes doing with the output
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but it won't accept a "this is x's rating for y's, honest" from an altbot.
trinque: certainly, and questionable whether it's a good idea
ben_vulpes: in re candi_lustt, i'll point out that anyone in l2 could trivially reproduce her elsewhere, if phf's examples didn't drive the point home
sina: yeah so what happened with #b-a?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yah but why make another slut, just reuse the extant one lel
ben_vulpes: they're not errors in copying, they're built in tests of the copier!
ben_vulpes: > ./mpfhf.go:52: syntax error: unexpected EOF, expecting expression
ben_vulpes: oh hm repo has something entirely different from trilema
sina: ben_vulpes: sorry I don't think it pasted right
sina: last I looked it was missing a bunch of the code
sina: ben_vulpes: if you have 0 experience building go binaries, prepare for increased blood pressure
sina: you need to set a GOPATH variable, e.g export GOPATH=~/Development/go and then clone the repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/sinner-/mpfhf-golang
sina: I just find it really annoying the way they do it
sina: that and dependency management are the two weakpoints of golang I feel
ben_vulpes: getting odd results when i do some baseline poking, a message of "a" prints a toBinArray value of [1 1 0 0 0 0 1]
ben_vulpes: just running fmt.Print(M) downstream of the toBinArray call
ben_vulpes: naively, i'd expect that to be [0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1]
sina: so when I was building it, I was trying to match the "MP kicks ass!" output, which starts with a 1 in the example (and IIRC when I did it in python)... the original string I had was printing a leading 0
sina: The [M]essage chosen is MP kicks ass!, its bit-value is
sina: 1001101101000010000011010111101001110001111010111110011100000110000111100111110011100001
ben_vulpes: yes but why is the length of the array of bits seven and not eight
ben_vulpes: i mean i don't really know what you're getting at, but why is the length of the bit array resulting from eating a single char 7 and not 8
sina: because the format string used drops the leading 0
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 03:23 ben_vulpes: wacky, fmt.Print(len(M)) -> 7
sina: ben_vulpes: can you change
sina: - binString = fmt.Sprintf("%s%b", binString, c)
sina: + binString = fmt.Sprintf("%s%.8b", binString, c)
sina: mircea_popescu: please confirm spec, are we dropping leading 0 (if exists) or not
sina: if not, I need to update the python one too
ben_vulpes: fwiw with that change it *now* matches the output of my implementation.
ben_vulpes: at sixty four bits and hashing the character a.
sina: mircea_popescu: if you look at the line above for "MP kicks ass!" from your PHP impl
ben_vulpes: again sina php implementation is of an earlier outdated spec
ben_vulpes: did not even look at php because boogs!
sina: its cool, I had it correct to begin with, but I modified it to match the thing I was seeing, my bad
sina: ben_vulpes: have pushed updated ver to golang ver, let me figure out same for python
ben_vulpes: now gotta wrestle with anaconda of "google stack for performance or pystack for not-being-google"
ben_vulpes: pick one, you'll go nuts maintaining both
ben_vulpes: aye, can confirm matching hashes on your default string
sina: just because Rob Pike and co work at the goog doesn't mean golang is goog
sina: they mostly write their junk in C++ and java from what I hear
trinque: google stack comes with built-in curl | bash !
ben_vulpes: yeah that "go build" shit pulling in rando code from rando github accounts super great cool stuff
sina: that (and the dependency hell it introduces) is why I try and stick to their impressively comprehensive stdlib
trinque: sounds like a guy who would end up appreciating common lisp.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo suggests honda goldwing 'valkyrie' for pete_dushenski's next mid life crisis << nah, too "soaking up the open road". goldwings are for retired vagabonds with a penchant for leather chaps and 60s rock. sort of a post-life-crisis-mobile really.
ben_vulpes: there's a fork of some fraction of what drives trilema floating around the wot
ben_vulpes: what, you're going to spend your precious energy furthering the browser hegemony?

ben_vulpes: oh i thought you were like a golang professional or some such
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what, "european by alliance" cars nao ? << well, ghosn stepped down as nissan ceo so whatever bridge there was is burnt. now it's turbomowereich because nothing cheats nazi emissions standards quite like 'em.
sina: ben_vulpes: professionally I'm not even a developer. Companies hire me because I can stuff at scale. but still don't understand how it furthers any hegemony
sina: because I think it's a pretty nice high level language
trinque not trying to pile on, but "I can stuff at scale" is entertaining as shit
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But still greater potential power to thrust ratio!
ben_vulpes: sina: it's a google product, you're "learning the lang" via writing a weblog that most likely generates html for...the browser. google lives by the browser.
sina: that is some fancy mental gymnastics, but ok
ben_vulpes: why not write numerical integrator? bignum stack?
ben_vulpes: implement stephenson's orbital swarm trajectory planner?
ben_vulpes: million billion toy projects that do not entail even touching webshit.
BingoBoingo: sina: Consider the experiment where you learned trading by "seeding the orderbook" The "at scale" business is similar.
sina: careful, browsers rely on numbers, don't want to further google hegemony
ben_vulpes: sina: math does not require xml, drop the sophistry.

sina: BingoBoingo: how is it remotely similar?
BingoBoingo: And lets not forget bonus horsepower like feelings engendered by feeling the wind on one's testicles
sina: ben_vulpes: I didn't claim it did, the point is, taking your logic to its conclusion one can't do anything because google uses computers to do stuff
trinque: "not everything is political" and "I just want to"
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: two wheeled endangerment does much for feelings engenderment, it's true, but not only way to skin testicles.
sina: ben_vulpes: still not following, but that's ok, you explained your train of thought
BingoBoingo: Anyways, what happened to your romantic feelings for flat six? Is flat six less sexy when it sends all of it's power to one wheel?
ben_vulpes: sina: surely you see how universal reliance on the browser drives unthinking acceptance of the imperial key signing model, right?
ben_vulpes: every time a child gets another hint that building things in html is a sensible way to spend a life, an angel of freedom loses her wings and plummets screaming towards the ground

ben_vulpes: sina: keep coming back, it works if you work it
sina: I follow everything you're saying, but it is plainly dumb to say writing a funsies webapp to learn a language has anything to do with anything
ben_vulpes: the notion does depend on several years of shared context, yeah
sina: I'm vaguely aware of the shared context, I get there is some stuff that is considered dumb around these neck of the woods, I just don't care
ben_vulpes: i mean you're a smart guy, right? what's funsies about generating html trees?
ben_vulpes: surely this is something you can do on demand without thinking already

ben_vulpes: ooh BingoBoingo the tomatoes have put forth flowers
ben_vulpes: these things are going to be monster bushes
BingoBoingo: Vines, absolutely monster vines covering everything in a 10 foot radius prolly
ben_vulpes: i may have to put stakes in the ground and hold the damn things up
BingoBoingo: You prolly should start on that before the flowers turn to fruit and get heavy
BingoBoingo: I mean nature has a way and all that, but... stakes make for cleaner fruit and a bett chance of you taking the first bit instead of vermin
ben_vulpes: i don't plan to suboptimally anything these beasts
BingoBoingo has one plot that stayed sunny and one that has been eclipsed by tree. Sunny plot doing great. One in tree eclipse is experiencing stunted vine size, but greater fruiting at present.

mircea_popescu: i can see it though. heck, i actually indulge. whole candi thing was nothing else.
mircea_popescu: the problem is management really. code keeps wanting to be edited, comments on blog are a different thing.
sina: blog in general is not conducive to code, IMO anyway
ben_vulpes: phf has hosted vpatches so far without much fuss

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1669005 << just a poor interface to switch branches for people without javascript. (the drop down thingy switches on select, but if you don't have js enabled. i perhaps should add a button hider if you do..)
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 04:45 sina: text in the box click update, not different from just clicking update with no text
phf: the interface is not very thought through because there's not enough dog fooding happening. vpatches require higher overhead than git blobs by design following the principle of measure ten times, cut once. but that means that it takes longer to evolve a workflow around them since the trickle of new updates is much slower
☟︎ phf: highest overhead when working with v is making snapshotting cheaper (which also ties into keeping multiple incomplete work in progress vpatches in the same build, and being able to put the updates into respective vpatches). that's something that local versioning system might help with (though asciilifeform for example considers that sort of automation anathema)

phf: a111 can easily speak on behalf of any of the logger, because i need to parse other loggers to keep the xref facility consistent. for political reasons, a111 only speaks for own logs, but it ~knows~ at the time of utterance where the link is supposed to go to
mod6: diana_coman is a warrior; nice post

phf: ben_vulpes: does your logger run on UTC?
mircea_popescu: also kinda biased by living in jungle nao. yesterday scraped off some gregarious antsy-wasp nest off one window, within hours flies were sucking the life out of the larvae fallen on the window sill ; later that window found different sort of wasp nest hidden in between sliding doors, with hunting wolf spider treating the cells like so many cans of preserve. and it rained for a month and everything needs a machete.
shinohai thanks mircea_popescu kindly, tips hat
mircea_popescu: aww, just as i was sitting down to read the man's twitter, turns out it is "protected". scam!

a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 14:27 phf: the interface is not very thought through because there's not enough dog fooding happening. vpatches require higher overhead than git blobs by design following the principle of measure ten times, cut once. but that means that it takes longer to evolve a workflow around them since the trickle of new updates is much slower
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to piss on the remnants of the cathedralbazaar, but it's another thing to not have a good answer to teh network effects.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the naming convention (moldbug, marlinspike, etcetera) suggests someone in an office farm in maryland./
mircea_popescu: no wonder pantsuit party has no substantial disagreement with china becoming dominating power. they watch that inept chinese writing method and get wet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they're technologically uniform in their ineptitude, but linguistically there's plenty of sane exemplars in the ~1k or so live languages.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it is an almost 'african' pattern, 'at one time my grandfather walked on a bridge, i heard... i'ma call meself Bob Bridgebuilder' etc << AHA, marlinspike presented as "hippie recreational sailor"
mircea_popescu: "nobody reads" trilema, such as eg "not smart enough to sling dope" article. but EVERYONE EXECUTES it.
BingoBoingo: Moldbug presented as stale cubile rage vessel
mircea_popescu: hurr durr an thanks for all teh fishes, you self-determined, independent minded schmucks you.
mircea_popescu: what'd one have to be smoking to not realise ethereum's onl;y function is to siphon value from the web horde into the hands of bitcoin holders is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly as phf describes, there's a certain drag/lift factor in work being done. have you noticed how effort allocation tends to follow "what's happening" more than "i've though about this" ?
mircea_popescu: from a purely alien perspective, in a town with decaying infrastructure you'll still see a bunch of men gathered around the guy souping up his car, rather than gathered around the places which desperately need maintenance work.
mircea_popescu: this base tendency is what the whole google/apple/etc (redhat, you name it, "open source") shitworlds try to cater to.
mircea_popescu: it's ok to point out how stupid it is, sure. it's dubious to not have some kind of an answer. which dun seem like we have.
mircea_popescu dislikes the notion of guilt tripping people as a resource allocation mechanism.
mircea_popescu: to me either. but it's clear that there might be something.
mircea_popescu: and ability to drive is what makes, properly, a driver. it STILL HELPS to tell people "objects in rearview mirror are closer than they appear".
mircea_popescu: but presenting cogently and in a tight package the man-monkey difference can't possibly hurt the recent escapee off the "i can't believe it's not plato's" cave.
mircea_popescu: moreover, replacing a coke habit with a workout habit is, in practice and experience, the cheapest, safest and surest way to rehab crackwhores.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i saw trims of that in the logs lol.
mod6: asciilifeform: heh, my bad.
mod6: ah. yeah, well, eitherway - i appreciate the guidence.
mircea_popescu: dude this diana_coman poem thing is pretty fucking epic.
mircea_popescu: and the fundamental point is quite solid : the monkey hates thought, because hey, why won't you just sit and groom with the rest of 'em! PSYCHOPATH!!1
trinque: is this a matter of backing out of using a big open source item?
trinque: I know that pain, difficult process
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, looks like it'll take one mentally competent woman about one year. the "open source" crapolade was built OVER A DECADE. and it's ~useless, within three zeros.
mircea_popescu: 10x the time, easily 100x the "effort" (although it is no more meaningful to compare the work of republican with the braying of subhuman opensources than it is to compare cpus and breast implants) and so forth.
phf: presumably to make it sane will have to write own blitter to surface, etc.
phf: concurrency will only get into picture once you have independent rendered, networking and game state logic all working
mircea_popescu: absolutely never licensing any of this. people wish to contribute, they get to participate, not to "just like bitcoin with a little bit of censorship" bullshit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: imagine, eulora played for paypal ? fuck that shit with a hot iron poker, there's NO WAY shitworld claws back to relevancy.
phf: asciilifeform: sure, considering that graphics are intentionally seem to be kept might&magic like can easily render the whole thing in software
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's part of what the publisher will accept as art assets, see ?
mircea_popescu: and no, never relinquishing political control, ever, no fucking way. colonial empire all the way, force the locals to either absorb themselves into whiteness or spawn chattel indefinitely.
phf: i think crystal space already supports limited software rendering, but figuring out how to properly enable it seems to be not for the faint of heart
mircea_popescu: phf the topic of making clients for teh eulora is very much open, my model is that there's a bunch of 3rd party clients, from text to whatever gpu-enabled thing.
mircea_popescu: heck, danielpbarron is moving towards an actuall dvd distro of the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: but, which is how this spitoon unravelled, in order to properly expose this for people to work on gotta have sane protocol, for which you need sane data model or else do conversion, and well...
phf: i kind of want to take a stab at doing a common lisp text only client, but i think i lost my password again, and i'm too embarrassed to ask for another recovery........
mircea_popescu: just as long as you dun lose you know, your actual key.
mircea_popescu: (believe it or not, ~95% of pw recovery attempts fail because the player lost his password in the sense of, ALL SOFTWARE ON THE MACHINE, data included.)
phf: a fairly inexpensive way to learn some of the tmsr lessons
mircea_popescu: of course, same 95% of players disappears back into the agar.
mircea_popescu: ie, they hadn't learned the lessons before, either, and not by accident.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman s/oh-so-funny comments/ever sadder epitaphs/ ?
phf: i think it would be handy if loggers supported web export in kako format over some alternative url. so you could for example say
http://bvulpes/log?format=kako&date=2016-01-01 and that'll give you id;ts;nick;message plain text. think i'll write a proposal for it

ben_vulpes: mod6: i'll add a quotulator, it's been on my backburner for a while

mircea_popescu: this wouldn't be the same redirecting links in a html, where _anchor_ used to go to url1 but now it'd (silently, unless you kept actual html copies) goes to url2. but in irc format there's no way to link other than by textually dumping a link, so...
