douchebag: mircea_popescu:
douchebag: You still around?
douchebag: I got a girl looking to show her taters
douchebag: !!up zezizezi
deedbot: zezizezi voiced for 30 minutes.
douchebag: She's looking to show tits
zezizezi: !!register http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/UjkdZ/?raw=true
deedbot: 66EFFB6EED397AAB924B2EADF43B0CBEF8B6FFD3 registered as zezizezi.
zezizezi: im here to show my tits ?
zezizezi: hello?
zezizezi: anyone there?
douchebag: give him a minute
douchebag: mircea_popescu: are you around man?
douchebag: !!up zezizezi
deedbot: zezizezi voiced for 30 minutes.
douchebag: asciilifeform:
douchebag: ben_vulpes:
douchebag: would one of you guys be able to provide a code instead of mp while he's away
douchebag: incase she needs to leave ?
danielpbarron: the code is usually the random string the webchat assigns
douchebag: danielpbarron: would you be able to pull that string of chars for me?
danielpbarron: in zezizezi's case, i see something like sid262319 but that doesn't look like the others so idk
douchebag: because she wants to go to bed soon
douchebag: danielpbarron: if you're able to give the go ahead and provide a code, let her know
danielpbarron: i'm not, but it's worth a shot no?
zezizezi: i just wanna get this done :X
ben_vulpes: patience is a virtue
ben_vulpes: persistence idem
zezizezi: your right i will just keep waiting hehe
douchebag: !!up zezizezi
deedbot: zezizezi voiced for 30 minutes.
douchebag: danielpbarron: do you think mircea_popescu will be back tonight?
danielpbarron: what am I my lord's keeper?
douchebag: I just figure you might know the times he's on better than me
danielpbarron: he's on a lot, but no specific schedule
mircea_popescu: douchebag yeah.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron that was pretty good lol.
douchebag: Alright i'll hit her up
douchebag: mircea_popescu: You doing anything interesting tonight?
mircea_popescu: fancy this : i was walking through the park and i ran into these coupla carny chicks working out their juggling skills. so i asked them if they wanna have desert ; they did so i took them to the local whorehouse restaurant for cheesecake.
douchebag: Cheesecake is pretty good, were they attractive?
mircea_popescu: the bulls were most wtf. the waiters were most wtf. this other black dude sitting there with a horse of a whore was BEYOND WTF. but my chicks dumped their unicycle, circles, pins and whatnot on the floor and had their coffee.
mircea_popescu: cute girlies, sure.
douchebag: hell yeah
mircea_popescu: pretty good with the malaversas, too. turns out that's how you call juggling in spanish. MALVERSATIONS
douchebag: interesting
douchebag: Apparently they are now blasting mens penises with a bunch of sound waves now to fight erectile dysfunction
mircea_popescu: i think it's called a hummer.
danielpbarron: not quite ready yet due to trilema-style urls not working yet, will switch it over to danielpbarron.com when ready, but here is my new blog hosted on pizarro: http://pizarro.danielpbarron.com/
mircea_popescu: o hey.
mircea_popescu: !!up zezizezi
deedbot: zezizezi voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: hi there zezizezi
douchebag: ive been trying to get ahold of her
douchebag: doesn't seem to be online atm
mircea_popescu: no big rush.
douchebag: Yeah I know, she def was interested in the offer
douchebag: so we'll see tomorrow
douchebag: or whenever she gets on
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I'm talking to a girl right now
douchebag: She might be interested
mircea_popescu: aite.
douchebag: tryna sweet talk her right now
hanbot: phf et al: attempted to press latest vtools to the keccak head. v (mod6's) reports vtools_vpatch_newline not in flow, neither its antecedent vtools_fixes_static_tohex, despite both patches and (verified good) sigs present (they neither show up via flow command). v will press to vtools_vpatch.vpatch, but no further. see http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/oNRhE/?raw=true . ☟︎☟︎☟︎
hanbot: not sure if this has something to do with the note in phf's accompanying release post re btcbase presser not working quite right....
mod6: ugh
mod6: i'll take a look
mircea_popescu: hanbot manifest is broken
mircea_popescu: o no nm, i had them in reverse order.
mircea_popescu: it's actually 6144 -> 7ebf ; 7ebf -> 154d
mircea_popescu: hanbot that is so fucking weird ; v.pl literally greps for the name in order to spit out that error, and the name's right there.
mod6: well, 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not found in her flow.
mod6: which is where the error comes from. im getting all of his patches & sigs and will see wtf
mircea_popescu: but it's in the ls.
mod6: yeah, but v.pl isn't picking it up, for some reason; i'll get to the bottom of why.
mod6: hanbot: can you tell us what version of v.pl you are using?
hanbot: 99994 K
mod6: ok, update to 99993 K plz. not sure it'll solve ~this~ problem yet.
mod6 is just digging in
hanbot: mod6 same results with 99993
mod6: yup, i see the same.
mod6: and i've found the issue.
mod6: stand by
mod6: Before I paste this, lemme describe what I'm doing here: 1) I'm starting fresh, grabbing all the vpatches and sigs referenced in the most recent blog post by phf at http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/
mod6: 2) Once I have all the files, I put them in the proper place. Then grab the latest V (99993) and verify that it's correct.
mod6: 3) Check the flow, see that vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch is not in the flow, and check to ensure that the seal verifies, and it dows ☟︎
mod6: *does
mod6: 4) Check the press paths -- there are ~two~ (phf said this was experimental previously)
mod6: 5) Check the origins of the antecedent hashes in 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' to see if we're missing one.
mod6: 6) We're not missing an antecedent vpatch; however, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d' matches two antecedents
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tD3fl/?raw=true
mod6: ^ my testing
mod6: one will notice that these antecedent origins are from two separate press-paths.
mod6: I'm not sure how to reconsile this. If you have a different v tool that will help you work around this, by all means.
mircea_popescu: mod6 how the heck can both sha fixes and fixes newline have the same hash
mircea_popescu: oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ?
mircea_popescu: 99994 and 99993 correctly press past this split, you're aware.
mod6: 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' indeed have the same output hash.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ? << im not sure at this point. could be an edge case im not catching, or could be buried in old rules built into my v.
mircea_popescu: hang on wtf.
mod6: and a good question, is this a problem for 'theory of v' ?
mod6: i'd have to fully debug the problem here, im only showing the symptoms here.
mircea_popescu: omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: phf dude you did the conflict wth is this!
mircea_popescu: mod6 well i dun see how we can have collisions and live. i can't even understand how the fuck this was possible, two patches with DIFFERENT antecedents hash-colliding ?!
mircea_popescu: i mean, vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts off vtools_vdiff_sha, whereas vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts right off genesis.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true << here I think you inadvertantly curled & diffed the same files.
mod6: this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d' ☟︎
mod6: oh wait.
mod6: there is more going on here.
mod6: 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not the only one to be dropped out, so is 'vdiff_sha_static.vpatch'; i didn't notice on the first pass.
mircea_popescu: oh damn i did do the same file. buffer failure.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794461 << that was already the case in the previous patchset ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 05:23 mod6: this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d'
mircea_popescu is thoroughly confused through the working of his own ineptitude, will need a moment to extract self.
mod6: phf: i thought last time we encountered a problem like this we dropped out a vpatch, then it was fine.
mod6: but this time, i dunno wtf is going on here. it's a mess.
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GKHPS/?raw=true
mod6: here's where two vpatches have the same outputs for 'xalloc.h'
mod6: ^
douchebag: Hey is it cool if I invite a friend in here, he's a pretty good chatter and he's a technical dude
mod6: then both vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch try to use the same input.
phf: mod6: this might've been encountered before, but i'm talking about the vtools patchset that was there before regrind
douchebag: He'll join in a moment
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, listen, i don't see what the problem you see is. so a number of different patches, which are themselves distinct, nevertheless depend on the same version of a file (here, xaloc). this isn't, nor can be a problem ; and was not a prtoblem before, either.
mod6: oh, im specifically talking about the patch set from your latest post.
mod6: umm. well...
mircea_popescu: as long as the patches don't collide, ie, have the same hash ; and as long as they're properly chained and signed they should press.
mod6: this violates rules that we've previously put in place then.
mircea_popescu: i still don't know why they don't ; but as far as i can see there isn't an actual problem with his patches or seals.
mircea_popescu: mod6 which rules ?
mod6: or it's a side effect of some coding
mod6: i dunno. ugh.
mod6: this is why i don't want to write this thing any more.
mod6: so tired of fucking with v.
mod6: can't even get anything else done, all i do is V. audit peoples shit.
mircea_popescu: mod6 but specifically as to the point, can you see why v.pl spits out that error message there ? am i right in reading the script as "if the file is not found by name" ?
mod6: etc etc etc.
mod6: this is getting SUPER old.
mircea_popescu: well the hope is that eventually we iron out all the edges...
mod6: i don't think im the right person for this.
mod6: someone else now needs to step up and write a V.
mod6: im done with this thing.
mircea_popescu: death("HEAD: $press[1] not found in flow\n") if !grep /^$press[1]$/, @flow << this specifically. how can it fail if it lists the item in flow ?
mod6: it isn't in the flow. that's the problem.
mod6: these vpatches are thrown out as they fail a previous check.
mircea_popescu: oh oh i see!
mod6: I added a debugging line:
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/R65oM/?raw=true
mod6: see, "removed"
mod6: this was removed in the "ante_check"
mod6: *these were removed in the "ante_check" subroutine
mircea_popescu: mod6 ok here's what i don't understand : for some reason the "flow" goes from vtools_vpatch, which is in the keccak line, to vdiff_sha_fixes, which is in the other line (sha line).
mircea_popescu: this makes no sense. basically it goes 5 steps down the keccak tree and then jumps to step 1 and 2 on the sha tree.
mod6: well, i dunno.
mod6: i need to call it a night.
mircea_popescu: sleep tight. best case, we figure it out by morn.
phf: i can only say that i think that btcbase presser is doing the same thing, with the "5 steps down keccak and 2 steps down sha", but the grapher doesn't. i think grapher uses more Graph Theory, but i neither remember what the difference is, nor can i debug it now (was about to go to sleep myself)
mircea_popescu: phf it's incomprehensible to me as the manifest.txt varies wildly.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not an emergency, sleep tight also we see tomorro
mircea_popescu: douchebag sure.
douchebag: .Alright
phf: here's a potentially useful picture for those who want to meditate on the antecedent graph, http://btcbase.org/data/vtools/graph-with-hunks.svg it shows individual hunk linkages though unlabeled

douchebag: He seemed curious to see what this place is about after discussing this
ckang: ive heard stories about this place and decided i needed to see it for myself
ckang: to an outsider it is a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it
mircea_popescu: hello
mircea_popescu: phf oh! it tries to press vdiff_sha / etc because they're actually a dependency for tohex ?! why did you write it this way ?
mircea_popescu: vtools_fixes_static_tohex shouldn't depend on anything from vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem! the vtools_fixes_static_tohex uses xalloc.h 98BA when it should instead use its own line (earlier) version of C89B. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ckang are you the guy with the gopher stuff / suckless morphing ?
ckang: oh, no :)
mircea_popescu: so what do you do ?
ckang: I have used the suckless irc bot though
ckang: i do security research

shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794417 <<< read through last night's log, and got same behaviour (unsurprisingly) ... used own personal copy of mod6's V and tested with one from foundation as well, equal results. ☝︎

phf: antecedent graph != requirement graph ☟︎
mod6: I have no fucking idea what is going on. alf - that's really weird. im using the following patches/seals, and I'm getting this: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RrM1h/?raw=true
mod6: I don't have time to debug this shit now. but at some point I'll have to actually look at this project and try to figure out what the graph is ~supposed~ to look like and why my V chokes on it.
mod6: Someone needs to write and maintain a proper V for the republic.
mod6: It sucks up way to much of my time.
asciilifeform: mod6: it probably does not help that one has to hand-click 22 times to download this set. possibly you missed one?
mod6: I'm hoping that phf will look at my latest link and audit that for me. I've pulled everything from : http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/
mod6: I could have missed one, indeed.
phf: mod6: all are there
mod6: yeah, im not sure wtf.
asciilifeform: hmm looks like it
mod6: there is a reason that those two vpatches are being thrown out.
mod6: i need to do a deep debugging session to figure out the root cause.
mod6: no time now.
mircea_popescu: omg i just pointed out the cause : he links the wrong version of xalloc
phf: mircea_popescu: did you see my response
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794582 ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 13:59 phf: antecedent graph != requirement graph
phf: the one before that
mod6: I suspect that is the problem with the rules.
mircea_popescu: phf i looked at the patch itself.
mod6: Before we said "all antecedents must be present for a descendant to be in the flow".
mircea_popescu: lemme reload all this pile of stuff here, i closed it all last night.
mod6: So made routines that do just that. There almost certainly is not a built in case where two antecedents have the same output hashes and can use a single in that csae.
mod6: If you understand my meaning. I.e. I would need to add an exception to the rule for that.
mod6: asciilifeform: out of curiosity, what version of my V are you using? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well now i can't fucking reproduce it at all.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> textile engineering !? << You know... Applied HAIR THEORY!
mircea_popescu: phf what is the vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc link to vtools_fixes_static_tohex ? as now apparently the two patches are entirely disjunct, did you update or something ?
phf: mircea_popescu: that's one of the 98BA's
phf: http://btcbase.org/hash/98BA7212FAFA4A61F6D6096F1A2953A67A70FCF185965ED7199A223F6897C9B9F2996D391A3F363282236889413973D0BEADA0E36D57068549BEA672FD110D8D you can see here who produces it and who consumes it
mircea_popescu: a right. hanbot do me a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ? ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect we ran into a novel situation : if there's ambiguous file usage in multi-head bundles, v panics.
mircea_popescu: (which is not even wrong, as the serial application of patches from different branches can result in a messed up codebase ; but it could be more verbose about what happened)
mod6: yeah, totally.
mod6: alf already instructed me a number of months ago to be more verbose about failures. I didn't get that done as much on the last release as I was trying to limit the scope to the last change for the press-paths.
mod6: So indeed, better failure messages are needed. And if we're going to allow this type of strange project structures, that'll have to get built into the rules.
mircea_popescu: it's not directly clear just ~how~ it could be more verbose here, seeing how it doesn't magically know all the "meanings" we associate to the patches themselves.
hanbot: mircea_popescu: on it
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, for instance, it would be nice if I'd have put a statement in the release version that yells when it throws a vpatch out for rule breakage.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't have gained us anything here, it'd just have pointed to vtools_fixes_static_tohex, but we pretty much knew that one is where it dies anyway.
mod6: in this case, it throws out: vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch
mod6: yeah, this is true too.
mod6: mircea_popescu: i can try the leftmost trunck on phf's viewer, but not right this minute. maybe in a few hours. i'm pinned down in the mud. gotta kill the guy in the pillbox first.
mircea_popescu: no, what it should do is yell "alternate paths to press $vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch requirement $x.alloc : $vtools+patch and $vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc."
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794607 << apparently : 99995 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 14:27 mod6: asciilifeform: out of curiosity, what version of my V are you using?
mod6: asciilifeform: ahhhh interesting, thanks for reporting.
hanbot: mircea_popescu flow thusly shows genesis only: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/VVZTX/?raw=true
mod6: mircea_popescu: solid plan. i can add something like that perhaps when alternate paths are detected.
mircea_popescu: which is a useful warning, because in principle if $1 and $2 could both delivered wanted $file, but the author intended for $1 to be used, $2 might produce different $otherfile than author needed, and then you can't press because your hashes no longer match downstream"
mircea_popescu: hanbot you're missing one.
mircea_popescu: vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc
hanbot: pff sorry.
hanbot: right, correct patchset on the left then presses + flows to vtools_vpatch_newline
mircea_popescu: aha!
phf: fwiw there's no ambiguity in the patchset, the dependency graph _is constrained_. but you can't make that constraint rule based, you can e.g. discover that constraint by walking the graph while keeping the track of the checksums of the press (i suspect there's a smarter graph theoretical way of doing it, but a "press walk" is the easiest).
phf: obviously that works because btcbase produces the correct dependency graph
mircea_popescu: yeah. so on one hand indeed the problem was as suspected ; but on the other hand phf is correct and yes the graph IS constrained.
mircea_popescu: phf i guess next on your plate is make a prototype proper grapher for all time ? then mod6 can put that in v and avoid further such wtfs. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the easiest press walk may in principle become very VERY expensive on large enough projects (in terms of the bitcoin blockchain large, 6 digit patches with 1-3 digit files included each it'd be a true unassailable nightmare). but then again it also bakes in some incentive to NOT DO THAT.
phf: i suppose that's one way to release btcbase source: slowly rewrite it all in ada
mircea_popescu: know a better one ?

"kinda what a gui is" "every button will have to be specified, as to location, as to..." "just get on with it" "6mb, will that be cash or check on other people's time ?" "motherfucker..."

mircea_popescu: yawell.
mircea_popescu: you can't paper over brainrot.

mircea_popescu: if dentists were programmers they wouldn't have any need for drills, just cement over cavities and then cement over that.
asciilifeform: ^ this is what american dentists do much of the time
mircea_popescu: purple screen of tooth pain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not just usian disease anymore. i had some work done recently, very pretty girl, quite competent (sadly, being a good dentist requires the steady hand only a properly developed brain can produce. retards can't ever be sharpshooters, dentists, surgeons etc because dubious genetics -> dubios fenotype -> too ungaitly assymetric to perform)
mircea_popescu: anyway, and she wanted to put me under! and i was naw, go ahead. took some convincing, and by the time she was halfway through she was sweating profusely and had the shakes. "but doesn't it hurt ?!?!"

mircea_popescu: one day when you really need it -- it'll work for you.

mircea_popescu: al schwartz's "believe it or not ketamine dun work" has a lot to do with "well... you've been to the dentist all these many years ?"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's a low spec computer (mostly, two huge disks, otherwiuse modest) ; but anyway, something to grow into.

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: do you have mechanicals in stock? needs procuring?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i can procure, if you say which; but gotta have concrete plan .
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: please to spec it out, yr the hardware guy. would this get attached to one of the rockchips?

mircea_popescu: lobbes you added gopher to your hopper ?! what did grace say ?
lobbes: Lol
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: all of the machines in the rack are being used; i was asking if one of the rockchips can handle this kind of duty.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, sometimes quality does suck, when you do e.g. a wall projection. those 9gb prints are usually done by obsessive people. but main reason is that i'm pulling from slav sources, where 800mb version is slav audio track only. "original audio track" is a bonus on those "archival" prints
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes mechanical poor fit for rockchip.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: rockchip can drive a single usb3 disk, with appropriate cable.
mircea_popescu: phf i can't fucking STAND dubs.
mircea_popescu: kinda why i have 0 interest in teh ruworld torrents, nfi who told these folks it's ok to hire some tolomak to do say richard burton. wtf.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't think we have a machine that is even free for this purpose; and so don't understand why we'd ship hdds down without a machine to put 'em in, although i could be being thick and not seeing something
asciilifeform: btw i oughta say a word re how rockchiptron reproduces. i wrote a bit of script, ./breed_boot.sh /dev/sd_whatever_cardreader_with_card_in_it -- produces copy of the boot card ; ./breed_root.sh /dev/large_enuff_disk copies the root partition contents onto a new part on said disk
phf: well, i download the 9gb versions, and have a script that keeps only one specific audio track. the whole thing is a semi manual process though, since i have to select the right track by ear, etc.
asciilifeform: and thus the box can breed copies of self
phf: i don't at present recode them because space is cheap
phf: but yeah dub world is funny. heated debates over whether translation by say borodinsky or kozlov are better
mircea_popescu: curl http://trilema.com/category/trilematograf/ | wc -l > 481
mircea_popescu: 481 * 9 = 4329, ie more than the hd i bought. not cheap.
mircea_popescu: phf the notion that you'll have a local capable of the delivery of any arbitrary actor... really ? kozlov gonna sound like marylin ? slim ? etcetera ?
mircea_popescu: scandal!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traditional ru dub is either 1 voice, or ('classy!') 2, male/female
asciilifeform: so, even worse.
mircea_popescu: no, i know. terrible orcism.
mircea_popescu: what, russkis can't read subtitles like sane fucking people ?
asciilifeform: i suspect there's su-era nostalgia keeping the thing alive. sorta how in jp old farts are ~100% of whale meat market, because mcarthur fed it to'em back in the day
asciilifeform: su underground film translators simply had no access to subbing gear
mircea_popescu: i guess. it's not even that good!
asciilifeform: aha, is the point
mircea_popescu: phf what are you using btw ? i'm thinking deluge, apparently has a web interface can just get the girlies set up with.
phf: aria2, i think it has a web interface even, but the whole thing is entirely automatic. cron to hoover up torrents from ~/Downloads, ssh them into a box folder, sleep based script picks it up on other end, feeds it to aria, when finished downloading writes it to an rss and also to a directory that's expose through apache
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, here's an idea : think sokoban, but extended so that 1. there's enemies, which can kill you, and 2. you can actually shoot projectiles at them. take advantage of diagonal/straight piercing/exploding and of course destroyable/nondestroyable movable/non movable environment.
mircea_popescu: phf i intend to use the box as the center.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'supaplex', msdos
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, there's no firing.
asciilifeform: hmm.
mircea_popescu: but the bonus gravity is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: this'd be like... the definitive platformer.
asciilifeform: verily
mircea_popescu: also, sokoban is an achieve-structure game ; supaplex more of a reach-x
phf: deluge looks workable, but i've never used it. i used https://transmissionbt.com/ but not their web interface
mircea_popescu: phf the spec here is "have a library of good films accessible to friends" rather than "i want to watch something between blowjobs"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "move that crate to the left, but NOT YET or else that weird plant shoots you as it's exactly diagonal"
mircea_popescu: PLUS you get for the first time now the best thing ever : your guy can a) learn (say, spells) and b) equip, items. because there's meaningful effects to have.
mircea_popescu: ima fucking spec this.

mircea_popescu: and no, "anything is content for someone" dun fucking hold. this is the direct equivalent of the "dating site" fallacy, whereby "eveyone has a special someone matching them put on this earth by our infantile protestant notion of god" becomes a "scientific blabla" (ie, http://trilema.com/2015/the-lulz-in-dating/#selection-69.0-89.459 ). bullshit. most people are broken, and the idea that they'll be "harmoniously broken togeth
mircea_popescu: er" is exactly like having two broken cars on your front lawn. gimme the porsche and let me be, wtf.

cassidy3: I am looking for mircea_popescu
cassidy3: I am here per reference by douchebag
asciilifeform: cassidy3: this is in fact where mircea_popescu lives. you might have to wait a few hrs for him to wake up, however. meanwhile there is a log, http://btcbase.org/log , and you can read it or even speak 'into' it, he will read later at his leisure.
cassidy3: :)
mircea_popescu: ello.
cassidy3: The infamous!
cassidy3: I was told about a # game here, if that makes sense?

hanbot: and in today's leet media outlets, siegemedia.com's phone # goes to voicemail (via googlevoice! state your name and it'll "try to connect you"!) to Emily Zeller, Certified Massage Therapist.
asciilifeform: to what does a 'We create content that ranks and helps you rank' 'SEO ROI' spamatronics specialist's phone ~usually~ go ?
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: i thought the web was an industry.
mircea_popescu: you telling me it's just a squeaky toy for the pets of masseusses to pass the time with ?!
jurov miserad Certified Message Therapist, thought oddly fitting
hanbot: dunno til you try, eh? lol message therapist
mircea_popescu: actually a certificate massagist might be useful...
hanbot: sshiatsu?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by the way, saw an add somewhere which went like "hello, this is massage therapist. no seriously, not sex whatsoever. this is medical. please don't wink wink nudge nudge."
mircea_popescu: somehow the longer the plaintive wail of the "went to college! independent professional woman!" went, the pornier it sounded.
BingoBoingo: The big brainfuck in this country is that "Thai Massage" is how they refer to the thing without the happy ending

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-09 15:16 mircea_popescu: the good news for you mod6 being that you don't really have to do anything ; v.pl is fine as it is, for now, and once phf has a prototype walker you can just move on to that and it'll be cheaper. continue work on your ada guy in the meanwhile at your leisure, seems we're converging that way.

mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, would like to do that one. main reason i stuffed it in a drawer for the time being was that I was getting some really crumby performance with the manual string handling I was doing.
mircea_popescu: ckang do you know how to self-voice ?
mod6: I suspect, that there are others in the Republic now that could help me overcome that a bit; whether, phf, asciilifeform, or diana_coman.
douchebag: i explained how earlier

mircea_popescu: mod6 well, which way do you want to go ? i assumed that was kinda your plan, bake ada vtron, meanwhile maintain perl one functional but not really ugprade or anything. or ?
cassidy3: mircea_popescu: Its just a broken heart, kind of a sad story
mircea_popescu: you wanna share ?
mod6: I've been digging in here for about 15 minutes, and I've found the spot where we eject out those two vpatches. And the reason is that I do a kinda shitty check. Where I just compare that the number of node edges is equal to the number of expected.
cassidy3: Lost my first fiance at 19
mircea_popescu: poker ?
cassidy3: Had been dating since 6th grade
mircea_popescu: mod6 aha.
mircea_popescu: SIMPLE REFERENCE COUNT GARBAGE COLLECTOR!!! ☟︎
mod6: And in the case here, we have 1 more for each vpatch, where the extra one matches one already in the set. If I were to check each one to the other, then I think it'd be better, and avoid this problem. So I'm kinda working on a solution now.
mircea_popescu: is the story in the log even ?
cassidy3: I do regret all the tats now, but I went though a period and went a bit nuts
mircea_popescu: cassidy3 so what do you do, besides tits and poetry ?
mod6: I shouldn't call it a 'set', it's a simple array. but, anyway, yeah.
cassidy3: Gogo dance (not nude) and bartend currently.
mircea_popescu: why not nude ?
cassidy3: Its a licensing issue, nudity + alcohol is harder for owner to get permission for.
mircea_popescu: ah. yeah.

mircea_popescu: i thought that was simply having any taste whatsoever.
