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....
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
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?
mod6: ok, update to 99993 K plz. not sure it'll solve ~this~ problem yet.
hanbot: mod6 same results with 99993
mod6: yup, i see the same.
mod6: and i've found the issue.
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: 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: 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.
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: 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: 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: 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 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: here's where two vpatches have the same outputs for 'xalloc.h'
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
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.
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.
mod6: or it's a side effect of some coding
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: 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.
mod6: I added a debugging line:
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: i need to call it a night.
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.

ckang: to an outsider it is a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it
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.

mod6: i need to do a deep debugging session to figure out the root cause.

phf: mircea_popescu: did you see my response
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 13:59 phf: antecedent graph != requirement graph
mod6: I suspect that is the problem with the rules.
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?
☟︎ 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
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: 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.
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."
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.
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"
hanbot: right, correct patchset on the left then presses + flows to vtools_vpatch_newline
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

phf: don't need fat pipe to torrent for backups, will just take long time. my torrent box is on a very thin line, and i just set the upload/download max clients seed ratio etc. appropriately
mircea_popescu: phf suppose tomorrow you decide you want to see $item you read on trilema. should it take you a week ?
phf: mircea_popescu: it has been
mircea_popescu: it blows my mind i got a discount for being in latinoland.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: and what machine to hook it to?
phf: (but also this is a thin pipe for 2-9gb customary torrent sizes, i know mircea_popescu is partial to 750mb prints)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 16:03 mircea_popescu: lobbes ^
mircea_popescu: phf do you genuinely see a problem with cd-size movies ?
mircea_popescu: lobbes you added gopher to your hopper ?! what did grace say ?
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: 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
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.
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: 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: what, russkis can't read subtitles like sane fucking people ?
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: also, sokoban is an achieve-structure game ; supaplex more of a reach-x
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.
trinque: rtorrent's pretty good for "run as service"
ben_vulpes: the transmission web interface is fine
mircea_popescu: it turns on i'm not the first one to have done this then ?!

phf: s/not experiencing/now experiencing/
phf: i wonder if it's the phone itself though, but i fail to see how the reception quality would degrade :o
mircea_popescu: anyway, re earlier discussion : i find it fucking hilarious that the webtards are actually trying to rebuild bulletin boards. "great improvement over php, ruby!". douchebags, php only exists because of your shit-headed "web" hallucination!
mircea_popescu: it only exists because a group of idiots that had no business touching computers nevertheless got some, and their only "idea" was "hey... we should try and control how people display data on their own machines"
mircea_popescu: and i include greenspun in the idiots pile. along with the rest of the "luminaries".
douchebag: well, it's always fun pwning that group of idiots
mircea_popescu: in the sense that spending your life going through battlefields looking for sellable scrap metal is fun. africa's fulla this fun.
mircea_popescu: the "problem" of "social media" isn't that people lack the place, methods and mechanisms whereby to communicate their interesting, valuable etcetera verbiage.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that people have absolutely nothing to say to anyone.
mircea_popescu: and it's exactly the reason "sex trafficking" is a problem, also. >99% of females have entirely no value whatsoever, as pigs are cheaper to butcher. of those, 14% or so have some resale value as fucktoys, generally in the bitcent to 0.1 btc range.
mircea_popescu: it's not a fucking problem outside of "holy shit i'm old and i can't deal with reality".
douchebag: I know some people who pwned gnu social awhile back with an XSS worm
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what REALLY happened was that rms got in everyone's way with his usual "i'm dumb and slow" routine, so they took a decade to route around him
douchebag: I'm not saying it was impressive what they did, but it was rather comical
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's also an endless supply of the "totally not the same thing as this" "platforms", medium, that shitty thing with "i made $0.05 with this post" reddit tip bot extension and so on.
mircea_popescu: and they're all there because a bunch of business school majors truly imagine they can compete for gatekeeping ; and "content will come"
mircea_popescu: what fucking content, hackernoon is pompously "where hackers give a shit" except omitting to discuss how slashdot sold to spammers for exactly the sex traffic value above, and slashdot ACTUALLY WAS a place hackers gave a shiot about, unlike hackernews, say, idle pretense aside.
mircea_popescu: their top stories being... "i grepped reddit for a string", "here is some shannonized nonsense about a topic too large for enric durany to touch", "how a kid from sf started a school in india" and ON AND ON.
mircea_popescu: why exactly is this needed, vice couldn't handle the volume of all the useless crap fat ugly whores spewed out for $5 a title ?

OK, so I was actually her second choice — her first had fallen through — but that was OK. I had previously not even pitched to xoJane because I was so intimidated and sure I'd be rejected, so getting hired
mircea_popescu: i mean, if i bother to pick it up and mock it it maybe becomes content, on a slow day. but there's one of me and at last count >50mn of the idiots.
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.

jurov miserad Certified Message Therapist, thought oddly fitting
hanbot: dunno til you try, eh? lol message therapist
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.

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.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i meant your not-yet-baked. it's getting baked eventually neh ?
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.
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.
deedbot: cassidy3 voiced for 30 minutes.
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
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: Had been dating since 6th grade
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.
cassidy3: I do regret all the tats now, but I went though a period and went a bit nuts
mod6: I shouldn't call it a 'set', it's a simple array. but, anyway, yeah.
cassidy3: Gogo dance (not nude) and bartend currently.
cassidy3: Its a licensing issue, nudity + alcohol is harder for owner to get permission for.

ckanggirl: discord is similar to this irccloud
ckanggirl: but with more stuff, like pictures and audio
ckanggirl: lol move fast, unfortunately I let my passport lapse, would need to get it renewed.
ckanggirl: but def. something i would consider
ckanggirl: could I bring a another girl friend?
ckanggirl: traveling alone makes me very anxious
ckanggirl: lived in no lol, but ive seen some shows on bsdm relationships
ckanggirl: never had a boy willing to do that sort of stuff
ckanggirl: not that im opposed, its just never come up
mircea_popescu: contrary to unexamined belief, male doms are rare enough.
ckanggirl: yea lol, all the shows the men have wanted to be the submissive it seems
ckanggirl: reverse roles compared to 'real world' i suppose
ckanggirl: but I work with my mother's law firm

ckanggirl: eclectic as in, taste that doesnt necessarily fall in line with the rest of society
mircea_popescu: i thought that was simply having any taste whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: anyway, eclectic is an english calc of the greek word for "choosing". it's a selection of the best of everything.
ckanggirl: is that you at the top of the page? love beards
ckanggirl: most boys ive gone out with, couldn't get close to being able to grow such a thing
ckanggirl: one tried and it just looked like his face was constantly dirty lol, i made him shave it
ckanggirl: i cant stop looking at the little turtles
mircea_popescu: you know i actually had them in my hands! they're the cutest thing, sorta lift head to see where water is, then lower it again and push push push. evidently hard work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's one of those few things where nothing beats being there.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, a guy named douchebag is like, one of the most noob-helping guys around! misleading name!
ckanggirl: yea douchebag is around some of the same places, seems like a good guy
ckanggirl: with as big as the internet is, funny how we run across the same people so much
ckanggirl: i suppose areas of interest kind of dictate the little 'cliques'

ckanggirl: bitcoin billionaires, paying for #s written on boobs lol

mircea_popescu: it was all an elaborate in-joke, there was this pantsuit collective (something awful) calling it "buttcoin"
