asciilifeform: 'The watch keeps time to a few nanoseconds per day. The attractive display is based on 7-segment red LED technology. Batteries are included (they last about 45 minutes but are rechargeable). AC adapter included. There are no adjustments for daylight saving time; however the clock does handle leap seconds and keeps track of the [Modified Julian] date. This HP wristwatch includes 5/10 MHz and 1 PPS outputs. An internal keypad is

asciilifeform: the 'leapsecond' blog is a goldmine
asciilifeform: 'The talk concludes with a first-hand description of Project GREAT, perhaps the ultimate DIY clock experiment. Van Baak methodically selected three of his best portable cesium clocks, outfitted the family minivan (with his wife's permission) as a traveling time laboratory, and drove with his three children up the highest mountain in Washington State. After staying on Mt. Rainier for a long weekend they returned home to compare
asciilifeform: the traveling clocks against several atomic clocks left at home. Measurements confirmed that the clocks returned 22 nanoseconds ahead in time. ' << try sr at home!

decimation: the stability and accuracy of modern clocks actually enables a great deal of science and engineering
decimation: interesting selective availability messed with time stability by a factor of 3
Vexual: shit bb finds c++, suddenly both wrists show the same time, so is alfs predator time
asciilifeform: clinton's announcement was a little disingenuous - the random noise is gone, yes, and the recent sats don't have it - however they do have option of beam-forming and denying gps to geography of hitler's choice
asciilifeform: (if anyone remembers the old eu/galileo thread, where usg pissed and moaned about not being given root on galileo)
asciilifeform: 'give us root or we'll shoot' was the actual statement
decimation: and then there's glosnas
asciilifeform: one interesting aspect of the 'selective availability' era was that folks would actually collect the crud and broadcast... corrections! from an accurately-surveyed point
asciilifeform: neatly cancelling out the fuzz
asciilifeform: there was a whole industry, almost, devoted to this.
asciilifeform: galileo was also in planning at the time (ru 'glonas' was in a serious state of decay and not relevant) and one legend goes that clinton's order was a failed gambit to sink it

asciilifeform: other thing re: gps is that there is ~still~ an encrypted band (as of a few yrs ago, ~two~ separate ones)
Vexual: wait wot?
asciilifeform: idea being that hitler can order the public band jammed, when he wants.
Vexual: oh, yes
decimation: yeah I think there are still two encrypted signals
Vexual: still look for mountains
decimation: hitler would only do this (in a civilized place) at the cost of massive disruption to many things

assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 22:38:18; asciilifeform: ^^ i dare to suggest that the patch be considered by therealbitcoin ^^
mircea_popescu: ascii_field close enough, since any two clocks are an entropy measuring tool.
ascii_field: pretty bad tool unless the resolution of said clocks is high
mircea_popescu: and any programmable computer necessarily has an interrupt clock
ascii_field: (1sec certainly doesn't cut it)
mircea_popescu: so adding a 2nd => rng.
ascii_field: thing is, rng needs attributes ~other~ than 'shits entropy'. namely, not to be correlated with variables manipulable or monitorable by enemy
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i have no idea what sort of an argument is this. there's no such thing as good or bad entropy. the thing is unqualifiable by definition. do you mean that you'd have to wait longer to generate a strong address? so you would.
ascii_field: interrupts are precisely the wrong kind of animal
mircea_popescu: at the rate people use adresses you need something like 1 byte of entropy per hour.
ascii_field: 'bad entropy' is easy: the kind which the enemy can cut you off from by silencing your net connection; or the kind he can guess some bits of, by watching packets (no interrupt source in pogo is in any sense entropic other than the NIC's)
mircea_popescu: i guess, but there's some practical security considerations here.
ascii_field: at any rate, if you really must have rng on pogo for some perverse reason, can do it right now
mircea_popescu: yes, you can't run satoshi dice off a pogo.

trinque: doesn't seem like they then consider whether they have any cranial space left for their problem
trinque: saw you found work writing cl, pretty cool
gabriel_laddel: This is my experience. The C++/.NET code for the device I was communicating with today - 250 lines of code to do what my single line does.
Luke-Jr: k, highlight me if there's more
gabriel_laddel: ^^ I seem to be good at making business people feel confident / happy with me.

gabriel_laddel: I'm noodling around with the idea of my hunting down contracts for CL people
gabriel_laddel: sort of like a recruiter
decimation: Luke-Jr: I need to do more research, thank you for your candor.
gabriel_laddel: But perhaps handling some of the business side of things + gnarly technical tasks.
trinque: depending on the type of consulting, it may be more or less up to you how to actually implement whatever's called for
Luke-Jr: decimation: this may be of interested to you; it is a WIP https://gist.github.com/sipa/bf69659f43e763540550
assbot: Version bits BIP ... ( http://bit.ly/1HjMqKU )
gabriel_laddel: trinque: in this particular they wanted something that *actually works*
trinque: heh!
gabriel_laddel: a surprising amount of people simply want subordinates to order around
gabriel_laddel: at least, this is what I've seen so far
Luke-Jr: decimation: there is also https://github.com/jtimon/bips/blob/bip-forks/bip-forks.org , but IIRC it had some problems
assbot: bips/bip-forks.org at bip-forks · jtimon/bips · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1HjMzhF )
gabriel_laddel: trinque: are you just playing around with hunchentoot, or writing a production system?
trinque: production system
trinque: api thing that pokes a db
gabriel_laddel: And you talk to the thing in CL?
trinque: got something out in the world that runs cl, talks to a web api
trinque: this will be the first server side component
trinque: to replace: https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest which I do not like
assbot: begriffs/postgrest · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1HjMQRv )
trinque: haven't used the latter with anything mission critical; it was a matter of evaluating it
trinque: but that's the thing I'm rewriting... "pgtoot"
decimation: Luke-Jr: this whole line of action strikes me as backwards. why not produce a spec before forcing changes from the de-facto standard?
gabriel_laddel: so you have a few function calls that diddle the db and you're tying those to routes?
trinque: yep
Luke-Jr: decimation: what? BIP 66 has been a spec since January
decimation: I mean a spec that desribes the behaviour of the entire codebase
gabriel_laddel: I wish someone would automate this already. I write the functions, then pass them into `export-functions' which walks the program, generates POST routes for all of them.
Luke-Jr: decimation: because people might interpret it as a spec
trinque: gabriel_laddel: that is precisely what I'm doing
gabriel_laddel: trinque: !
trinque: I've written this in python already
trinque: postgrest looked like it might have a clue early on
trinque: becoming a features katamari shitshow
Luke-Jr: decimation: Bitcoin's rules by nature are defined by the actual software people are using. If a "spec" disagrees with those de facto rules, the "spec" is wrong.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: every web-app ever is just a matter of bolting some table or view to a ui component
trinque: and then letting that component know when the data in question changes

gabriel_laddel: dancing around presentations
Luke-Jr: decimation: this is why Bitcoin Core 0.8.0's bug was a bug in 0.8.0 and not the (commonly used) older versions
decimation: Luke-Jr: you see how this has the convinent side-effect of ceding complete authority over 'bitcoin' to the 'bitcoin core' committers?
Luke-Jr: decimation: no, it is to the users - Bitcoin Core 0.8.0 changed the rules, but was not adopted as the new protocol, so it was wrong
Luke-Jr: (it's ironic but true that Mike Hearn has written two changes in Bitcoin Core, and both of them introduced serious bugs..)
mod6: !b 1
assbot: Last 1 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/0E6JFXW.txt )

gabriel_laddel: BINGE is a FFI generator for Common Lisp. It parses C source files (header or code, it doesn't mind) and spits out a FFI for your Lisp system of choice. Functions, global variables, types and symbolic constants can be extracted just naming them. Its design is modular so that adding a new FFI API is a matter of few hours. Back-ends for SBCL, CMUCL, LispWorks, UFFI and CLISP are provided.
gabriel_laddel: please work
trinque: "binge" << lol
