mircea_popescu: + strError += strprintf("tx requires a tx fee of at" << this is logging exempt ?
thestringpuller: printf is da best way to debug!
mircea_popescu: so basically polarbeard here's the thing : i considered signing this, and i will consider signing the next version. as it is however i won't do that, because a) not all errors have both flags set ; b) occasional ' in error message ; c) occasional losing a valuable datapoint (such as the hash above) or missing on adding a useful one (nStart).
mircea_popescu: as annoying as b c etc might be they're mostly minor and could be fixed by a further patch. a however is a killer, and colors both b and c in similar tones, because it betrays the fundamental problem with this patch : it doesn't flow from a structured approach given in depth consideration, but merely from your desire to help and impressive stamina.
mircea_popescu: these are both very nice things, and the good news is that it's much easier for you to become very useful than it is for alf to grow another arm. so don't take this as a censure per se. does all that make sense ?

BingoBoingo: In derplandia: Cruz 28% Trump 24% Rubio 23%
mircea_popescu: no way, someone is ahead of trump ?!
mircea_popescu: how did that happen
BingoBoingo: Or in the numbers that matter: Convention Delegates > 6 to Cruz 5 each to Trump and Rubio, one to Carson
BingoBoingo: Blizzard in Iowa today
BingoBoingo: Trump lost to Bible belt guy and tied Establishment guy
BingoBoingo: Trump was always just Manistream media noise and some derps online
BingoBoingo: But Blizzard keeping Trumpets at home likely played a part
mircea_popescu: so he's going away huh ?
mircea_popescu: mommentum player, has little to offer other than "nobody can beat me for i'm the king rarara"
BingoBoingo: He's going to continue kicking and screaming consistently drawing 25%-30% until he quits in May or August
BingoBoingo: Momentum player, media likes he because they are mostly Democrats
BingoBoingo: But if Trump keeps drawing that large a chunk while Cruz and Rubio fight it out a Brokered convention is still possible.
BingoBoingo: Then again in 2012 Santorum won Iowa.
mircea_popescu: cruz has ~0 chances of being president.
BingoBoingo: Prolly going to be Bernie
mircea_popescu: is this the black doctor guy ?
BingoBoingo: Bernie's the Vermont socialist
BingoBoingo: He's going to pull the Obama on Clitler again

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo totally that lol.
PeterL: for all the media trumpets who gets the "WIN!!" in each state, many of the primaries are not winner-take-all, so multiple candidates come away with delegates from each state
PeterL: so with iowa delegates getting split between candidates, it really did not change the election at all
BingoBoingo: PeterL yes. Hilary ended up turning a vote tie into a 6 delegate advantage late last night on... COIN FLIPS
PeterL: maybe we should make it easier and skip the voting and go straight to a coin flip to decide the presidency?
mircea_popescu: i would expect there's a lot of power brokering going on there.
mircea_popescu: all those nobodies on capitol hill gotta derive their delusions of relevancy somehow.
BingoBoingo: It's amazing 6 delegates were decided by coin flip and every coin flip was resolved in CLitler's favor
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
PeterL: but Hillary has been "waiting her turn", so the party bosses are trying to get her in despite her being a horrible monster
PeterL: not that Sanders is much better of a candidate
mircea_popescu: ftr, i may be the only one left, but i don't think she's anything of a monster.
PeterL: depends on who you ask, I guess
PeterL: I certainly don't trust her
mircea_popescu: the woman is intelligent and determined. certainly a lot less stupid than it is average for the us. she's no bush nor any kind of redditobama.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you're not supposed to trust your ruler. you're supposed to feel threatened by them, i guess, or fear them, if you don't have a readier way to express submission in your own mind.
PeterL: I know she's smart, but I don't expect her presidency to help me any
mircea_popescu: people not trusting politico actually makes for one of the best recommendations they could have.
mircea_popescu: in what sense help you ?
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> but Hillary has been "waiting her turn", so the party bosses are trying to get her in despite her being a horrible monster << THis is how the GOP sank in 2008 with the lich, and 2012 with Rommit
PeterL: at least Sanders is honest about what he is going to do
mircea_popescu: which is ~nothing.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2450 @ 0.00056447 = 1.383 BTC [+]
PeterL: well, some candidates (Paul) might get in my way/wreck the country less than others
mircea_popescu: the country is terminal tho. it's falling over on its own anyway.
PeterL: but I figure some candidates are going to make it worse than others, and I think Clinton would be one of the worst
mircea_popescu: anyway. in my detached view, this presidency is important for purely exterior reasons. the us, as it is, is irrelevant to everyone, including itself. the future of the us is mostly determined by the management of the image of the us, which is well divorced from the us of today, and a sort of future tendril of the us of 1970.
BingoBoingo: I endorse parting the thing out and starting over.
mircea_popescu: there will come a major pass with china, probably in the next five years.
mircea_popescu: on the basis of how the american handles himself there, the immediate future is decided.
mircea_popescu: for that task, she's probably the best hope.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo under foreign management ?
PeterL: Split it up by state? Let each state decide where they want to go?
PeterL: Or dissolve all the states and start over from scratch?
mircea_popescu: this is the one bit us folk are too blinded by their own internal narcissus to grasp. you don't get to retry on your own as a failed state. you get put under the management of your neighbours, because you suck. it happened to the indian tribes in the same geography before, and they were extinctified by it.
mircea_popescu: PeterL neither of those are options. a russian oregon alaska and washington, a chinese california, a mexican arizona nm and texas and a european protectorate all the way to ohio is much more likely
mircea_popescu: than americans themselves having any say whatsoever in who gets to fuck their ass for the next ~century.
PeterL: Can we sell ourselves to Canada?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Under foreign management, under the Bundy's, however
mircea_popescu: no. canada becomes part of the split, goes to russia.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sadly, the alf totally dominates that field. the bundy's dun have what it takes. not even remotely.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, but mebbe the inspire the kid that did. 4 people left in Free Oregon lead by kid named Fry. Fry seems like he's staying a while since FBI killed his friend.
mircea_popescu: four people and their dog aren't part of this discussion.
BingoBoingo: Not yet.
BingoBoingo: Anyways. The point is the Bundy fumbling has to happen for militia movement to develop which isn't 75% USG informant by weight.
mircea_popescu: not even the usg itself is 75% usg by weight by now.
mircea_popescu: just count the indians for a lul.
mircea_popescu: or you think bhagwan chowdhry & the merry bunch actually have some sort of loyalty, or even any sort of conception of "US" ?
mircea_popescu: the maggot language doesn't have a word for "corpse", and certainly not one for the corpse's ex-marital status.
BingoBoingo: I don't know that the Indian bureaucrats like Preet can think any other way.
BingoBoingo: But the point is the Shaun Bridges have to stop falling for the trap where they reveal their Gobag&fortune to loyalists.
mircea_popescu: yeah, which will happen five minutes after the usg stops hiring idiots, which will happen half hour after anyone who's not an idiot stops exclusively dedicating himself to the republic, which happens after i'm fucking dead, i should hope.

assbot: Logged on 02-02-2016 14:03:19; mircea_popescu: or you think bhagwan chowdhry & the merry bunch actually have some sort of loyalty, or even any sort of conception of "US" ?
mircea_popescu: more complicated.
mircea_popescu: for instance, another hand would feed them if they went nude dancing. they don't.
mircea_popescu: yet another if they went oil rigging. they don't.
mircea_popescu: they have a very narrow cage through which they might be fed.
ascii_butugychag: the activities listed above are a) actual work, that involves not sitting in a climate-controlled chair all day b) really needs having been raised 'free range' chicken instead of cage-born
ascii_butugychag: do you recall the photo of a very peculiar boar that kakobrekla once posted ?
mircea_popescu: but nevertheless. it's not merely the hand that feeds.
ascii_butugychag: the one who was so fat that he could not even see

ascii_butugychag: did we ever figure out how to dpaste without mutilation ?
trinque: does ben_vulpes' mutilate ?
PeterL: did we decide if wotpaste fixes the mutilation issue?
trinque: could get the thing a shorter domain
phf: issue was with html input boxes adding #\newline#\return
PeterL: and could the raw be default?
phf: i think cascadian solution was to strip #\return on incoming posts?
phf: but curl works reliably on any of the posting services. or anyway anything that can do an http post without fucking up the payload
jurov: mircea_popescu: i wait for deedbot to accept files and *detached signatures*, no dpaste braindamage

ascii_butugychag: not fit for battlefield yet
ascii_butugychag: and not sure if this is even The Right Thing
ascii_butugychag: you ask for a pgptronic random turd, a la assbot, it gets enciphered to your pubkey (if you are in l1)
ascii_butugychag: this gets fed into a small proggy on your box, which now knows where to connect, and what the symmetric cipher key is
ascii_butugychag: the latter enciphers a plain tcp tunnel.
ascii_butugychag: on other side is the same thing, started for just one session, with same key
ascii_butugychag: and on the other side of that, e.g., anon ftp.
mircea_popescu: so like minigossip
ascii_butugychag: draft name, 'g'
BingoBoingo: interesting
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes wanted some warez, and i realized that we haven't the most elementary provisions for warez
ascii_butugychag: and dusted this ancient thing off
ascii_butugychag: but not quite ready to fire in anger yet, this is a world-exposed sorta thing and needs to be 'measure 777 times, cut once'
ascii_butugychag: but i wanted to put this basic summary here, in case i get flattened by a bus or whatnot tonight.
ascii_butugychag: anybody got a favourite symmetric cipher, incidentally ?
mircea_popescu: cramer shoup!
ascii_butugychag: symmetric plox
jurov: rot13
mircea_popescu: you know, it's just like you that you'd ask about the one hole.
mircea_popescu: there's no good symmetric cypher.
ascii_butugychag: but so many perfectly decent bad ones! l0l
ascii_butugychag specializes in 'the one hole', aha
ascii_butugychag: btw how come nobody uses blum-blum-shub, which provably reduces to quadratic residuosity hardness, as a block cipher ?
mircea_popescu: expensive, wasn't it ?
ascii_butugychag: possibly this, but possibly the proof is dodgy
ascii_butugychag: iirc it has some fine points
mircea_popescu: this is actually a good call for wisdoms. what's the #b-a symmetric cypher ?

mircea_popescu: ""Many people who haven't thought it through have sung its praises over the years, mostly because they got seduced by the sound theoretic basis. Blum-Blum-Shub has two of the three flaws that DUAL_EC_DRBG has: it's slow, and you can't prove it secure.
mircea_popescu: ahaha what is this inept bullshit ?
ascii_butugychag: 'Jon Callas Former CTO of PGP Now CTO Silent Circle'
mircea_popescu: THOSE are "the flaws" plural of nsa-back\door ?
ascii_butugychag: whole turd worth reading, but for pro entomologists strictly !
ascii_butugychag: i now strongly suspect that blumblumshub can be proven to equal rsa in hardness
ascii_butugychag: BUT i do not know this proof, and it is not public.
ascii_butugychag: what we are seeing in callas and the shitoverflow derp is akin to the horizon of black hole
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag incidentally, if you'll excuse the naive approach : couldn't in principle any p-and-q scheme be made to have a mutating p-and-q ?
mircea_popescu: let me express this better.
ascii_butugychag: we cannot see the dense matter at the center, but can see the derpwalls around
mircea_popescu: isn't any "rsa-like" symmetric cypher basically an immature or partial implementation of
mircea_popescu: well... hm.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what i want here. nm.
ascii_butugychag: (i must mention, for completeness, that derpwall could have an opposite purpose, of preventing inquiriy into the ~weakness~ of b-b-s when used as prng, as it is in many systems incl. iirc, certain versions of winblowz)
ascii_butugychag: it is interesting, to me, how the derpwall of 'don't go there! dragons!' always has quite the same appearance, from a mile away
mircea_popescu: "This is interesting because nowhere do they address the central engineering issue -- that a fixed p,q is not secure yet a variable one requires another RNG to seed the RNG." << except the part where a prng IS NOT A RNG
mircea_popescu: such thick.
ascii_butugychag: like the standard fortifications around usg pissholes
ascii_butugychag: this isn't 'thick', it is cheap confabulation and obfuscation
mircea_popescu: remidn me, do p and q have to be primes or relatively prime in bss ?
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_butugychag
ascii_butugychag: if they aren't prime, you're using multiprime rsa and if your smallest prime is small, you get, e.g., pollard-rho'd

mircea_popescu: the quadratic residuity issue makes me think fermat primes should be somewhere involved in all this
ascii_butugychag: i always found it interesting that, after all of the $maxint spent on both sides of the ocean on symmetric crypto (see maslennikov's b00k, from the l0gz, say) we have - publicly - no more provably-hard symmetric crypto than a hundred years ago
mircea_popescu: what happens say if q is a primitive root modulo p ?
ascii_butugychag: that is, vernam (otp) and that's IT
mircea_popescu: the problem is not necessarily tractable!
ascii_butugychag: didn't say it were.
ascii_butugychag: just that none of the results, positive or negative, leaked out.
ascii_butugychag: (to where i could find'em)
ascii_butugychag: this'd be a neato use for mircea_popescu's network of little birds, incidentally
mircea_popescu: a one ounce bird can not carry a two pound coconut!
ascii_butugychag: can carry the smell.
mircea_popescu: if coconuts smelled ...
ascii_butugychag: and the one-bit, 'i saw a coconut'
ascii_butugychag: like noah's pigeon.

ascii_butugychag: it isn't a difficult concept
mircea_popescu: to imagine the indian-us is any different is laughable.
ascii_butugychag: nsa complex is not indian - yet

ascii_butugychag: that's pleeb seek000rity
mircea_popescu: that "bizarre schutzstaffel-esque aryan thing going" is the VERY DEFINITION of indian
mircea_popescu: what did you think indian meant, "smells of cardamom" ?
mircea_popescu: there's a reason the nazis were regarded as barely better than the russians back in the day.
mircea_popescu: certainly a step back for germany.
ascii_butugychag: anyway what i meant was, they have a pedigreed white meat thing going
ascii_butugychag: since the beginning
ascii_butugychag: see, e.g., snowden
mircea_popescu: when they start with "don't say nigger to be civilised and don't go topless to go to heaven", they took a step back. which means a step east. they're less greek and more indian.
mircea_popescu: no i know what you meant. it is SPECIFICALLY inferior in this specific manner we call "indian".
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_butugychag
ascii_butugychag: i tend to associate this with old brit and ru empires, officers with purchased commissions, imbecilic commanders, 'blue blood.'
ascii_butugychag: cia as per ~its own~ official histories admits being an org made of 'second sons'
ascii_butugychag: (of commercial aristos, who did not have quite enough to bequeath to each son)
mircea_popescu: officers with purchased commissions is not in any sense a bad idea ~per se~. would you be lead by some schmuck fresh out of west point or by some dude who made and spent 10k btc to lead you ?
ascii_butugychag: the 10k are more likely to belong to buterin
mircea_popescu: i'll take my chances with the dude who spent actual money to get there.
ascii_butugychag: than to anybody who 'made'
mircea_popescu: which is the problem here. purchased comissions are not the problem - fake money is.
ascii_butugychag: buterin has (had?) a trunk of perfectly genuine money.
mircea_popescu: west point hasn't had a worthy officer come out of it since before you were born.
mircea_popescu: chances are chances.
ascii_butugychag: i thought mircea_popescu taught us that they quit making worthy officers some time around 1800
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the whole caste bullshit is specifically indian. it is a cheap and simple solution to "what to do when confronted with multitudes and unwilling to think"
mircea_popescu: which is why it fits so well to the needs and capacities of the us today.
ascii_butugychag: anyway the funniest thing is that nobody cancelled purchased commissions, and other simonies - they are simply brokered through the credential racketeers now
ascii_butugychag: (e.g., harvard tuition is what, exactly.)
mircea_popescu: they CAN NOT be cancelled.
mircea_popescu: you don't get to soft fork things.
ascii_butugychag: !s buluceala
assbot: 6 results for 'buluceala' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=buluceala
mircea_popescu: pretty much.
mircea_popescu: anyway : there was a short time in the history of europe (and therefore the world) where the masses figured that they're in power and since they didn't know what else to do, decided to promote entertainers to leadership positions.
mircea_popescu: which is how hitler ended up stuck moving divisions on a map
mircea_popescu: the tragedy of the austrian painter being that the fucking divisions were wholy imaginary throughout his tenure
mircea_popescu: that actual items moved in seeming lockstep with this for a while is not really germane.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so wordpress is retarded.
mircea_popescu: the folly of purchasing one's commission with song, dance and merriment should be plainly apparent by now.
thestringpuller: theme-editor is all "You don't have permissions
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that is.
thestringpuller: I su into the user that php is running from edit the file

jurov: ooooh maybe ml renamed it to avoid conflict
mircea_popescu: where the fuck did i end up with this v-0001.pl then o.O
mod6: yah, that's the right one.
mod6: no idea how you got v-0001.pl tho
ascii_butugychag: 1) rename 2) forget

polarbeard: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu: hey thanks for reviewing and submitting my patch
mircea_popescu: cheerios.
polarbeard: anything else I can do? should I play with shiva? :)
mircea_popescu: by all means, i like to see an apoplectic alf.
mod6: whats weird here, is that the hashes in the patch, before and after, match nothing that i've got. so i've gotta figure that out.
polarbeard: so is the plan to port all rpc commands to shiva actually?
mircea_popescu: yes. and then all logging and then etc.
mod6: and that might be because i'm running with my two replacement patches for ascii's stuff that haven't been verified yet.
mod6: will find out here in a minute
polarbeard: mod6: you mean on my patch?
mircea_popescu: mod6 that'd be exactly what it'd be
mod6: looks like it compiled fine -- even though the patch had to apply with Hunk offset garbage
mod6: this one needs to be reground
mod6: if anyone else is in the middle of creating a patch - maybe hold off a day or so before you submit until I can straighten out the tree & test everything.
polarbeard: yes, it needs reground, I didn't know it will be submitted so what I published is on top of my better logging patches
mod6: or at least until i give the "all good" signal in here.
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
ascii_butugychag: ty mod6. i'd like to note that in a time of 'fog of war', when some patch is up in the air, it is not necessary to hold off on ~all~ work, but only things which concern the affected subsystems.
ascii_butugychag: a, e.g., shiva.cpp - only patch - will work fine
jurov: and since everyone is regrinding patches right and left, maybe we'd like to revisit the notion of "obsoletes that other one"
mircea_popescu: go on jurov ?
ascii_butugychag: jurov: it's a 'longest chain' sort of thing. see old thread.
ascii_butugychag: an obsolete patch is simply one that doesn't keep getting built on.
mircea_popescu: forking as a way of life.
ascii_butugychag: imho any other definition is necessarily un-vtronic
ascii_butugychag: just like in bitcoin
jurov: is that always decidable? if i have A, which has a child patch B, and author regrinds A into A' which is to be kept?
ascii_butugychag: it is no more immediately decidable than a young chain fork in bitcoin
jurov: imo both A and A' should be kept at leas B' isn't reground too
ascii_butugychag: when there are two prongs of equal length
jurov: but how do I add both A and A' into the repo without renaming?
mod6: ah, so this is what is very weird:
mod6: still needs to be re-ground, but was just weird that it had no matching antecedents
mircea_popescu: mod6 as he says, turns out he wrote it on top of patches that didn't make in
ascii_butugychag: mod6: what am i looking at
mod6: and thats even with a full sync of the mirror as it exists up until this very minute.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ahh, ok.
mircea_popescu: well yes because he never actually published them, ie, by sending to ml or w/e the process is.
mod6: no worries, they need to be re-ground, i'll work on that.
mircea_popescu: but this MIGHT be a bug in v
polarbeard: yes, sorry for that, got me totally by surprise
mircea_popescu: because if i sign random shit that doesn't actually connect to the tree even if it claims to
mircea_popescu: it shouldn't press.
mod6: right this is actually a really good test case.
mircea_popescu: then again
ascii_butugychag: i thought mod6's vtron actually verified each patch operation ?
mircea_popescu: it doesn't press.
mod6: and yah, its certainly flawed.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13527 @ 0.00057044 = 7.7163 BTC [+]
ascii_butugychag: (also important to disable 'fuzziness' in the latter)
mod6: it verifies the post press checksum.
ascii_butugychag: but not the return code of patch -p0 < .... ?
mod6: but that could be somehow broken as well, obviously, this needs some attention.
ascii_butugychag: (my own vtron verified nothing at all, i must point out.)
mircea_popescu: but as polarbeard among others can testify, this makes writing code fucking difficult, thanks god.
mircea_popescu: so many things you gotta check!
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: recall how it was pre-v ?
mod6: before i re-grind this patch, im gonna look into V a bit while I wait for ascii to give me the green light on the other two reground from lastnight.
polarbeard: it's a matter of maintaining a personal branch and an official one
mircea_popescu: anyway : this FORK BY DEFAULT!!11 tendency of the v world, whereby it takes serious work and generally http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/sea-otters.jpg to stay on the same branch is one of its best features imo.
mircea_popescu: creates thriving communities and supports the implicit "fragmentation=strength" properties of the wot something fierce.
ascii_butugychag: mod6: you can give the green light to yourself, just vdiff the result of applying my two patches vs. the result of applying your unified.
ascii_butugychag: if same - then works
mod6: im just trying to be sure, im already pretty sure... but i wanted you to look/test so i dont end up with more on my plate
deedbot-: accepted: 1
mod6: man, v is failing badly.
mircea_popescu: eh dun panic mod6
mircea_popescu: say, you got enough sleep last nite ?
mod6: the output hashes of net.h/net.cpp/bitcoinrpc.cpp are not matching the vpatch at all, this should have died mid press.
mod6: but it didn't
mod6: sleep, eh, yah.
mod6: bout par
shinohai: >.< do sleep mod6
mircea_popescu: mod6 but does it press ? from what i see it correctly says no antecedents found etc
mod6: it does press, yes, but it shouldn't
mircea_popescu: unautomated tests ftw huh
mod6: and.. even if it does press, it should have immediately haulted when it saw this:
mod6: here's a debug snippit
mod6: i've got some idiotic thing going on in there, looking now.

mircea_popescu: then it wouldn't have had this problem :D
ascii_butugychag: that way v will stop where it must
ascii_butugychag: i wonder who thought 'fuzzy' diff was a good idea for a default to begin with
polarbeard: 'this must fit' :D

mircea_popescu: just you know, run a tail on the file. good enough
ascii_butugychag: tries to make the patch fit
mircea_popescu: oh oh nm then.
ascii_butugychag: and i warned, that this has to be switched off
mircea_popescu: jesus i wonder how much "mission critical code" was really written by patch itself.
ascii_butugychag: or you get improperly localized failure
ascii_butugychag: prolly enough to be 'interesting'

mircea_popescu: it's the "clever" one that takes 18bn loc
ascii_butugychag: it kinda reduces to 'p'
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, to answer a question that jurov asked a while ago, it is not only possible to use an arbitrary hash function with v, but even, theoretically, to use none at all.
ascii_butugychag: (the entire file is its own identified)
ascii_butugychag: *identifier
ascii_butugychag: this would result in gargantuan vpatches, but... utterly unassailable.
jurov: and my other question about maintaining A and A' in "mempool" ?
PeterL: can v press to multiple heads, or do I have to pick one?
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: at the same time ?!! why??

mod6: i know at one point i did negitive tests on this, but my problem in there is idiotic, i was not paying close enough attention
ascii_butugychag: want both? include both, and let it press everything it can see
mircea_popescu: PeterL you specify where you want to end up.
mod6: when you press, if the hash of the pressed file doens't match the expected, it should die right then and there.
polarbeard: I actually do that, but because metamake is really dumb :(
ascii_butugychag: mod6: i still see 'offset' in there?

PeterL: genesis is arse?
PeterL: oh, I was thinking about it upside down, I guess
PeterL: why not call it root?
ascii_butugychag: insufficiently descriptive
PeterL: ok, so what do I use as head? one of the leafs?
ascii_butugychag: genesis is where a v object comes to exist.
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: not necessarily
ascii_butugychag: you can use a non-leaf node as a head
ascii_butugychag: even genesis
ascii_butugychag: if you press to genesis, you get the bitcoin we started with.
PeterL: but if I use a leaf, will it include the other leafs?
jurov: i guess this is not implemented yet, ability to press multiple non-conflicting heads at once
jurov: *leafs
ascii_butugychag: my vtron had it
ascii_butugychag: but in a very primitive way
ascii_butugychag: (you could cut into the middle of a leaf set more or less alphabetically)
ascii_butugychag: my intent was that the user would include ALL of the leaves he is interested in by using a custom patch dir, and then press to the last.

ascii_butugychag: sooo apparently,
ascii_butugychag: 'fuzz' refers to ignored context
ascii_butugychag: and offset can't actually be disabled in gnupatch

asciilifeform: you might be thinking of 'physically unclonable function' which is a crackpot field
asciilifeform: that afaik never went anywhere serious
mircea_popescu: that's not it. it basically was a mechanical device, worked sort-of like the scytale except on a chunk of a clay item
mircea_popescu: german clockworkery if i recall correctly.
asciilifeform: never heard of such a thing
mircea_popescu: darn where the fuck did i see this thing
asciilifeform: would be interesting to see, considering that i can't get repeatable reading of anything out of a clay pot ~today~
mircea_popescu: it wasn't a pot, it was a slab.
mircea_popescu: basically it had a place you placed the clay fragment in, and a rod which traveled the cracked surface.
asciilifeform: i only ever heard of breaking an object and the halves become identifying passes
mircea_popescu: wasn't very good in that it went back and forth over the distance
mircea_popescu: then again nothing stopped you from servicing it
mircea_popescu: well that's common.
asciilifeform: aha, goes back to at least babylon
mircea_popescu: dja understand how this thing looked or am i not explaining very well ?
asciilifeform: i can nearly picture it.
mircea_popescu distinctly recalls the very smoothly polished travel rod

mircea_popescu: anyway - it's not that i don't like paper otp, or otp generally. it's that if that's the best you can do, you should have been a clockmaker

asciilifeform: actually for many years i have thought about the ideal electric otp.
asciilifeform: it would, likely, be ~electrochemical~
asciilifeform: consider:
asciilifeform: the ideal otp machine:
asciilifeform: 1) the random bits are born all at once, rather than written in one (or machine word) at a time from some specially-built electronic widget
asciilifeform: 2) are born on the two (or more) carriers at the same time
asciilifeform: that then go their separate ways;
asciilifeform: 3) come out one at a time
asciilifeform: 4) are, ideally, erased irrevocably by so doing, or at least erasable in reasonably small chunks (when used) and destroyable all at once (when you pull the pin)
asciilifeform: 5) cannot under any circumstances be ~read~ all at once or quickly enough to be considered 'all at once' for practical purposes of enemy capture & device switcheroo
asciilifeform: each of these 5 pieces contains a number of sub-boojums
asciilifeform: e.g., 1 and 2 imply that there are sufficient bits per entropy without having to resort to whitenings or distillation
asciilifeform: (the former being an exercise in self-delusion, the latter - adds complexity and potentially buggy or noisy circuitry)
asciilifeform: some of the variants i've envisioned include.... a certain kind of battery, where ion gradients vary when a molten electrolyte cools, and it then cut into 2+ strips, and 'burned' like a candle
asciilifeform: emitting two sets of ~same static waveform at once
asciilifeform: and... but why go into it here. anybody who wants this, can think on his own.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you feel like entertaining some crackpottery, suppose a hash function defined as follows : a) calculate PM ; pM ; P!M ; p!M where P and p are the perimeters of polygons of K sides circumscribing and inscribed respectively in the same circle and !M is the bitwise negation of M ; b) calculate V1 = 2pMPM/(PM+pM) ; V2 = sqrt(pMPM) ; V3 = 2p!MP!M/(P!M+p!M) ; V4 = sqrt(p!MP!M) ; c) calculate H = (V1 - V2) *
mircea_popescu: (V3 - V4) and finally d) return blocksize digits from the key-th position in H.
mircea_popescu: how'd you go about attacking this ?
mircea_popescu: (and from 1 i see you like small blocks just abour as much as i do)
asciilifeform: i would have to think about it
asciilifeform: but gauss could prolly tell you right now!
asciilifeform: wake'im up.
mircea_popescu: (basically - they're the classical (archimedan!) approximations of pi, for the text and reversed text, to an arbitrary precision. makes for an eminently tunable hashfunction)
asciilifeform: terrible hash function
asciilifeform: bailey, borwein, & plouffe.
mircea_popescu: do you see what i did here ?
asciilifeform: (iirc plouffe was the worker bee and the other 2 were parasites)
mircea_popescu: it is apparently a lot easier to follow math in words than in symbols, EVEN FOR YOU
asciilifeform: why the bitwise negation ?
asciilifeform: actually i am writing it out in symbols!111111
asciilifeform: to follow at all!11
mircea_popescu: you took a second to answer after my 2nd line, minutes after the first produced nothing! timing attack on your brain!
asciilifeform: clearly!1
mircea_popescu: anyway - being able to calculate pi itself does not actually help here.
mircea_popescu: because we're specifically collecting hte noise of the formula against the text and its mirror, rather than pi itself.
mircea_popescu: hence the substractions.
asciilifeform: the root ops go poorly with bit arithmetic
mircea_popescu: so they do.
mircea_popescu: fuck the fucking computing-centring paradigm in crypotography
mircea_popescu: it's your tool not your fucking master.
asciilifeform: then let's have the candle.
mircea_popescu: it's your tool, it must be used.
asciilifeform: then you're stuck with wandering decimal crud
asciilifeform: and titanic lookup tables, etc.
mircea_popescu: sure. anyway bignum operations is a solved problem

mircea_popescu: (my trolling is ever more refined)
asciilifeform: but decimal soup is still ick
asciilifeform: you won't have repeatable output
asciilifeform: no repeat, no decrypt

mircea_popescu: idence of a polynomial method to estimate a transcendent" is really good enough. and it exhibits all those important properties : such as, you can ~actually~ use infinite message, and you can also use any arbitrary padding you like, up to infinity - the hash function won't complain. and you can want it to shit out any block size you want it to shit out - also won't complain, but give EQUALLY MEANINGFUL results. whether
