asciilifeform: phf: recall, this is why asciilifeform earlier wanted a non-linecentric diff representation. then would not need special cases for clean ascii & bins.
asciilifeform: but nobody liked this, seems like errybody is addicted to lines.
phf: asciilifeform: i think the divergent points were a lot more elaborate than this particular reduction
asciilifeform: possibly, i'ma have to rewalk the pertinent l0gz when i get a chance
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bins in mp-wp tree, hanbot expertly ascii-ized.
asciilifeform: ah so no raw bins presently
asciilifeform: not in eulora either ? also asciilzied ?
mircea_popescu: you mean the client ? no-one's even bothered to genesis thart yet ; being replaced i expect. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ah
mircea_popescu: there was NO discussion of "bion diffing". nor will there be. there was specified support ~for deletion of files~, which is WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
mircea_popescu: stop fucking squigee-ing around for maximum damage. what you're damaging is your own fucking house.
asciilifeform: if start of thread is http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1858965 , then mircea_popescu is correct, deletions suffice ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 17:12 asciilifeform: tangentially on-thread, it still bothers asciilifeform that he was unable to represent the diff b/w mircea_popescu's bitcoin-0.5.3.tar.gz and the genesis as a vpatch ( neither orig v nor current is able to represent the deletion of binariolade... )
asciilifeform: phf then you dun need bin diff/create.
mircea_popescu: right. phf was supposed to have ~support for deletion/movement/fullspecified filename~ baked in.
mircea_popescu: i can't currently conceive how the fuck he even MADE a vtools without it, because it was a root node and nothing works without it anyway (eg, i expect all the hashes he calculates are wrong)
mircea_popescu: but i am not currently in a position to take a day off and review poorly executed jobs in detail.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm mapping out the size of the hole, rather than dancing on mircea_popescu's toes for phun; have patience, if i've found this earlier, yer toes would not hurt nao.
mircea_popescu: phf when you calculate the file hash, do you take ~the full name~ plus "the content or just "the content" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if he's stuck to the old gnudiff format, which per my test appears to be the case, names aint hashed at all ( they're covered by the gpg sig of given patch, but that's it )
mircea_popescu: which is the fucking reason we even rewrote it.
asciilifeform: i actually posted an experimental vtron that hashed the names
asciilifeform: ( http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-March/000293.html ; http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-April/000296.html demo )
asciilifeform: but afaik this did not make it to the spec table
phf: mircea_popescu: the later, but i don't think that was the last iteration of your algorithm
phf: i'm trying to find the relevant thread right now
mircea_popescu: well now i'm reading through all dis, what can do. phf's four months at work resulted in same many months of rot, now we don't recall the spec, log is long, life is short, so on an' so forth.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja ever post a eulora-style full spec for the thing btw ?
asciilifeform: or only exists in log
mircea_popescu: only in log.
asciilifeform: this is dangerous, really oughta have spec, it's what sets us apart from teh apes
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-02#1792096 eg. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-02 23:57 mircea_popescu: at which juncture i suppose it'd pay to check, huh. hey phf, my memory of logs discussion includes this item whereby the above problem was fully resolved by declaring the path as inseparable part of the filename. you on the same page ?
mircea_popescu: apparently didn't so much pay to check.
phf: and later i say we're on the same page, and i have no idea why and how
mircea_popescu: and ~i~ should have written a blog article about it ? wtf would i put in it ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792105 << closest i found to spec for mircea_popescu's algo . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 00:02 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the logged discussion on the topic was, "if hashes match but paths do not, the file was moved ; if hashes match and paths match, the file is untouched ; if hashes do not match but paths match the file was modified ; if hashes do not match and paths do not match the file was created/deleted"
mircea_popescu: this is correct ; my above "hash the filename" was incorrect, or rather, inexact.
asciilifeform: it's entirely workable .
asciilifeform: ( in thread, mircea_popescu detailed how to make it go )
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: phf: i think errything you need, is in there.
phf: yes, i remember the algo, and algo requires that the hash is just of content. i thought i was entirely insane, because immediately after "hash the name + content" i say "we're on the same page"
mircea_popescu: phf "inseparable part of filename" != "hashed".
mircea_popescu: as i say, my latter statement of the notion was misleading & vague.
mircea_popescu: kinda what the problem is with these "brought back from the swamps of memory" items, the result takes some washing.
phf: mircea_popescu: the next line after the one you quoted is "all files are identified by hashesof their name and content"
mircea_popescu: i am aware.
asciilifeform: it is my understanding tho that it is impossible to apply the algo in the thread if one were to make file name part of file's hash.
asciilifeform: ( could no longer identify moved files automatically )
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: file names are covered by the gpg seal of given patch, tho, so it isn't as if people can get away with blindly renaming items in a patch. so if taking all of mircea_popescu's algo but the hashed-names part, you have a usable algo.
asciilifeform: and it dun even break the ancient format.
phf: asciilifeform: right, all the contemplated extensions were supposed to be backwards compatible. the ancient format allows for a lot of necessary leeway
mircea_popescu: i recall the succesion of steps of 1. being very happy with solution that was all smiles and no bruises ; 2. being satisfied that the people involved understood 1 ; 3. unloaded it from head. now in the nightmare consequent of "4. wait, what was it ?"
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving aside the past half hour of chaos : how can it be simultaneously true that a) delivered item matches 3rd of april algo and b) http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1859041 ?! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:24 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sadly enuff, i was right in re the current phf-vdiff . observe : a) http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/5ZYgF/?raw=true << example of deleting a text file. in fact uses same deletion representation as ordinary gnudiff, where entire payload is quoted. b) http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/vl2Ca/?raw=true << attempt to represent deletion of 1MB from FG. result : same as in oldschool gnudiff.
phf: mircea_popescu: delivered item does not match 3rd of april algo. the algo was invented after delivered item was fully implemented with the idea that the algorithm can be added to the item transparently. but it was also around the time that i could no longer work on the item, so it remained unchanged since then
asciilifeform bbl,food
mircea_popescu: well, we'll hafta do something here ;/
phf: mircea_popescu: well, short of cutting my head off, or handing it over, i can add the missing bits

phf: right, i basically treat the battery as a ups, i.e. hold it long enough for me to move it from place to place
asciilifeform: i had to actually use it as a battery-powered box on pizarro voyage, and it sucked
asciilifeform: ( mass budget allowed for 2 batteries, and i ended up tossing one right there in BingoBoingostan )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I might have seen it at the feria recently on a table that also had a Macbook Air...
phf: i've traveled with it before, but yeah, i'd turn it off, plug it in somewhere, turn it on. c101pa on the other hand has an insane battery life: i've been running it in pure console mode, and it will last a day or two
asciilifeform: phf: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/x60_piz_roof.jpg << subj. no mains socket on that roof.
asciilifeform: phf: c101pa would last ~week if power management thing worked...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'crapple air' suxx ballz, i wrote mine off long ago
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: on top of crappleism -- actually ~slower~ than x60, and smaller battery, and shit kbd
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Likely how it made it to the feria. Feria is powered by dumpster finds and sticky fingers
asciilifeform: and for its cost you can buy 4 or 5 x60
asciilifeform: phf: i drained the battery in ~2h on airplane (putting finishing touches on rk gentoo), then again in the rack (1st usa->orc mains plug brick fell apart) then again on roof...
phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: thought about soldering a supercap in there
asciilifeform: but not much room
