mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to round up yest's discussion of intelligence : if your putative beast that eats its brain does so in an actual maximum point, then the behaviour of eating the brain is intelligent ; if however it does so in a local maximum point that is later within its lifetime invalidated by events, then the same exact behaviour was unintelligent.
mircea_popescu: this underscores the principal point about intelligence, which is to say that it is an ex post facto construction outside the object, and consequently it can not either be objective, or objectively measured.
mircea_popescu: considered in general, "naturally" which is to say over an universal domain, "intelligence" is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: will may give restrictions of domain upon which an intelligence function may be constructed so it's coherent, but this then doesn't provide a method to justify the will upon which the whole construction is based.
mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental problem of ethics, that you can't have an intelligent justification of will, merely a willful justification of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: and this is why neither ethics nor iqs are a thing.

assbot: These 42 Bitcoin projects were shutdown by an ongoing DDoS attack : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1pwajxf )
davout: that would be three-fold: not charge more than a few percent for the whole liquidation, evaluate all claims against bitbet in light of its actual contract (and more specifically, the 3.2 (d) clause), try to get as much as possible from the non-cash assets, and (quite importantly) not disappear with the cash

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron let's work an example. say the nonce is 7. this means hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(7)+7)
mircea_popescu: if in fact a shift by 2 was in effect, it'd be the case that hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(1)+1)
mircea_popescu: hash2 would have been the same for all nonces over 3, ie, 4, 5, 6 and 7. it'd have also been the same for all nonces under 4, ie, 0, 1, 2 and 3.
mircea_popescu: this means you get to do 4 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
mircea_popescu: this because 2 bits = 2^2 = 4. had the shift been 17 bits, then you'd get to do 2^17 = 131072 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
danielpbarron: how do you get to 1 from a shift of 2 away from 7?

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know, it occurs to me your idea to run a webserver on pogo may actually be very valuable.
mircea_popescu: see if you manage to apply alf's thing and if it runs well. if it does, a next step you can take is :
mircea_popescu: see if your isp is willing to give you a c block / upgrade your connection. buy a coupla bridges of 32 or 64, make a high voltage rectifier thingee, and power a bunch of boxes
mircea_popescu: people would prolly be willing to pay a few dollars /mo to rent an ACTUAL physical box, which means you can take a few hundred in exchange for a not-unreasonable upfront expenditure.
mircea_popescu: and since you have the wot at your disposal most of the costs involved in low end hosting (ie, keeping the scum out) you're insulated from.
mircea_popescu: if it can run an obscure wp blog, it certainly can run a bnc or whatever other such thing. much better security model than "i pay 20 dollars to dc hosted blabla-freedom.net"
danielpbarron: yeah i got another pogo doing my irc client; it was also doing my old non-wp website
mircea_popescu: (by a high voltage rectifier thingee i mean that iirc pogos draw 4.5 V dc. a > kv rectifier diode is twenty bucks or something, you can make yourself an item you plug into the wall and it feeds 100 pogos arranged in series out of maybe a hundy.)

mircea_popescu: so he sees if he likes fucking with hardware.
asciilifeform: why not ~usefully~ fuck
asciilifeform: e.g., reattache the missing sata plugs to the cheapo pogo version
asciilifeform: *reattach
mircea_popescu: because you gotta start with easy.
mircea_popescu: this is an eery repeat of the chicken story, somehow.
mircea_popescu: who the FUCK cares about fucking chickens already!
asciilifeform: what's easier than soldering a plug into a pre-prepped landing pad ?
mircea_popescu: this brave new libertard world that "holds people as the greatest value", i am so sick of it!
mircea_popescu: phf methinks you may be alone in that interpretation. i for instance don't do the whole "accept as fairitale" thing.
danielpbarron: recall i already did the soldering thing to make adulterated pogo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let the man burn pogos. i will not change man to protect pogos. wtf.
asciilifeform: if yer gonna burn pogos, why not usefully, see how much overclock the thing can take, or see if you can upgrade the ram
asciilifeform: (quite nontrivial)
mircea_popescu: your idea of usefully is centered on the thing.
mircea_popescu: it is a sickening display.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you invite folks for target practice, which piece do you let them fire ? the luger, penny a round, or the rare borschardt 1890 where each round has to be bought from museum ?
phf: mircea_popescu: which interpretation? i'm saying that the way arguments are presented here is essentially "this is how it is, and you're an idiot for not grokking" as opposed to some other, perhaps subtler, forms of rhetoric
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will remind you i am the one who plans to buy the ancient collection of chinese miniature emperors on rice beads
mircea_popescu: and make it pilaf.
mircea_popescu: phf ah, like that.
phf: european leftists have been inexplicably at war with trolling (which is a 180 change from how it was in the 90s and prior), somehow went from CRASS to respecting each others feelings, so takes some conscious effort to court some from that circle
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: exciting
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i think isis stole your idea
mircea_popescu: anyway. powering a bunch of pogos in the discussed way is neither terribly difficult nor terribly risky. it does require some reading, of course. and it does deviate from "how things are done", which is a major asset.
asciilifeform: street lights used to be powered this way.
asciilifeform: in 1890s
asciilifeform: it sucked.
mircea_popescu: shut up, if we end up back in 1890 you'll be thankful for dpb.
asciilifeform: who do i call if i end up in 1790 ?
mircea_popescu: give me some time.
mircea_popescu: phf that change, incidentally, makes me completely discount the euro "left" movement.
phf: yes
mircea_popescu: they stand for exactly nothing ; one generation switch can change any major tenet.
mircea_popescu: might as well care what the "fashion world" thinks.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is EXACTLY what they are. the fashion world of ugly chicks and insecure betas.
asciilifeform: i thought this was obvious ?
asciilifeform: and, these folks have been adrift since the kgb financing dried up.
mircea_popescu: well obvious or not now it's also stated.
phf: i thought there was some cool shit, RAF for example had a very practical nazi beurocrat cleaning program
mircea_popescu: are you talking 50s ?!
phf: problem with being autodidact, 50s look as close as yesterday

asciilifeform: so when $random-ba-visitor proposes doing something idiotic with financitronics, mircea_popescu says 'this is moronic' and this is a-ok, because financitronics is a mircea_popescu-competence. when i say 'this is moronic' and subj is electronics, then i am on crack?
asciilifeform: this makes sense to anyone ?
asciilifeform: sorry, series power supply for digital apparatus is dumb.
mircea_popescu: a) i've on many occasions said, "this is stupid but will be instructive, proceed" ; b) you think this is about production, which it isn't, it's educational.
asciilifeform: well i suppose from some angle ~anything~ is educational.
asciilifeform: let folks learn by pissing on electric fence, wahtever.
mircea_popescu: and from that same angle, the value of tmsr engineer is g(value of burned pogos)
asciilifeform: burn, burn.
mircea_popescu: and the same EXACT arguments you use could be used to persuade me (or at least a dumber version) to use java instead of tinyscheme.
mircea_popescu: but the EXACT same.
mircea_popescu: "hey, it's not done like that since the 50s! the 50s sucked!"
phf: exactly same arguments i'd use to convince someone to use tinyscheme i can use to convince ~myself~ to use java..
mircea_popescu: lol show this ?
asciilifeform: and with same hammer, pound in nail, or skull, aha

mircea_popescu: enough about this matter :
mircea_popescu: get a customizable power bridge, link pogo, see how much it'll take before it falls over.
mircea_popescu: by now the bricks are so shitty, and tolerance so easy, it's surprising what "digital apparatus" takes in terms of abuse.
mircea_popescu: much more than analog apparatus of a century ago, that's for damn sure.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one of the other things about 'take rectifier and power 10 - or 20 in eu - in series' is that you get one of the problems of the chinese bricks, but in spades: ripple
asciilifeform: good dc brick has rectifier + large filter cap
asciilifeform: chinese - only the former
mircea_popescu: nothing prevents you from spending the 35 bucks for a roll of 100 caps.
mircea_popescu: eh, he CAN make a better series arrangement than what the brick does. for srs.

assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 15:08:02; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu wrote about how s&m with 'safeword' is retarded
mircea_popescu: the problem with safewords isn't that they're in-band to any degree. the problem with safewords is that they pretend to recast s/M relationships into a circus approximation. the submissive partner may not pretend to option as to when, or as to how the dominant partner extracts his pleasure out of his hide ; nor may (ipso facto inept) third parties purport to misrepresent any sexual relationship in terms other than stuf
mircea_popescu: f occurring between a submissive and a dominant partner.
mircea_popescu: "sex with safewords" is sex exactly in the sense the guy playing king richard in a theatrical production is king richard, the historical personage. "sex with safewords" is at best a brat's wet dream, and in general prostitution, in the vein of the pedicurist or hospital nurse's job - but in no case has anything to do with sex, nor can it occur among sane adults.
mircea_popescu: it's what children do when they want to play house but are affraid of getting caught.

It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at a pict
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the in-band thing is not as separable from your point as you think.
mircea_popescu: this argument is still open. i certainly see what you mean.
mircea_popescu: but in the end, there's only one band.
mircea_popescu: the concept of identifiably separate bands is as much a presumption about the "adversary" (properly said, of the context) as anything else.
mircea_popescu: notably, the derpy gnupg manual indicates "telephone" as a out-of-band mechanism to verify key fingerprints. is this so ? since when until when ? did it work back when phones were still analog ? does it work now ? why / why not ? etc.
asciilifeform: header says 'next 1,001 bytes is payload' and NOBODY ASKS PAYLOAD ANYTHING - is like proper sex.
asciilifeform: magic character escape idiocies, a la clearsign, is 'safeword sex.'
mircea_popescu: this i can get behind.
asciilifeform: payload is a passive thing.
asciilifeform: which is what i've been arguing for all along.
mircea_popescu: but it is also subtly different from the general band discussion.
asciilifeform: constraining the contents of the payload is evil.
mircea_popescu: so no crc for you ?
asciilifeform: and so is making the unwrapper stateful.
asciilifeform: crc is a header thing.
mircea_popescu: mno, crc is part of the payload ?
asciilifeform: it is a function ~of~ the payload.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it necessarily can be put in the header huh.
asciilifeform: the latter can be arbitrary.
mircea_popescu: myeah, ok.
asciilifeform: the -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- crud is ~exactly~ a safeword.
asciilifeform: and especially so are the - ----- idiocies.
asciilifeform: and the winblowzated newlines.
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not defending any of that.
asciilifeform: that's what clearsign is !
asciilifeform: you necessarily cannot have it without such things.
mircea_popescu: why not ? put a proper fucking header in there!
mircea_popescu: this is where we left this discussion last time!
asciilifeform: does fat lot of good given that just about all software mutilates line endings.
mircea_popescu: here. first line, the line index where signature begins. second line, the line index where payload begins. third line, the line count of the whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: this is no excuse. fuck bad software.
mircea_popescu: i will NOT take bad implementations of ANYTHING into consideration when designing anything.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i distinctly recall suggesting a scheme quite like this.
mircea_popescu: otherwise it's two steps to "but mp, some people are stupid, what should they do!"
asciilifeform: it pointedly does NOT cover the case of signing non-printables.
mircea_popescu: "fuck them, cook them and serve them to the pigs. fuck i care."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there may not exist "nonprintables". as per your own theory!
asciilifeform: i wanna sign a tarball. or gif. now what.
asciilifeform: non-7bitclean.
asciilifeform: where there are no 'lines'.
mircea_popescu: hash it and sign that.
asciilifeform: no good.
asciilifeform: we end up signing a hash of a human-readable hash
asciilifeform: you are narrowing your set.
asciilifeform: which, in the case of a wonderful thing like keccak, is entirely no good.
asciilifeform: and even in the case of sha2 is a waste.
asciilifeform: it is entirely like whitening.
mircea_popescu: i'm not about to give out the only workable way to make contracts since the fucking hansa
mircea_popescu: so some shitboxes can do things with "code".
asciilifeform: who said 'give out'
asciilifeform: just has to be planted in a sane framework
mircea_popescu: how are you going to preserve my clearsign ?
asciilifeform: rather than the mutilatory lunacy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same way we preserve anything, you gotta figure out what aspects are actually essential to the thing, and which - are really accidents
mircea_popescu: i can tell you. the text and the seal in the same place.
asciilifeform: what means 'same place'.
mircea_popescu: so no conveyance of one is possible without the other.
asciilifeform: this is not actually true of gpg clearsign
asciilifeform: i.e. any idiot can cut off the sig and convey payload without it
asciilifeform: and ditto the opposite
mircea_popescu: sure. any idiot can also cut off his head. so ?
asciilifeform: but what specifically do you mean here
asciilifeform: how is this a possible thing at all ?
mircea_popescu: this "separate signature" thing is an abomination.
asciilifeform: the signature is always physically separate
asciilifeform: though hm
mircea_popescu: in the sense your ballsac is physically separtate from your penis.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm going to speak at a whore's convention. will bbl.
mircea_popescu: hopefully.
asciilifeform: actually!
asciilifeform: distribute the exponentiated payload !111111
asciilifeform: solved.
asciilifeform: tell it to the whores!1111
asciilifeform: however you cannot cat this to a line printer.
asciilifeform: but NOTHING YOU CAN CAT TO LINE PRINTER IS BALLSACK-ATTACHED
asciilifeform: this is intrinsic.
asciilifeform: and pretending otherwise is lunacy.
asciilifeform: a non-signed item is trivially derived from any signed item.
asciilifeform: pretending otherwise is what the idiot watermark folks do.

asciilifeform: !up gabrielradio
jurov: can't we have the signature just slapped to the end of payload?
jurov: "the goal is to have whole piece" implies it is seekable, thus feasible to scan the file for signatures from the end
jurov: without any payload mutilations
asciilifeform: jurov: how do you know where the end is ??
jurov: is a file with some size
jurov: or we're getting rid of files, too?
asciilifeform: jurov: this solves nothing, it merely flips the problem on its head
asciilifeform: how does the pgptron know how big the signature is ?
asciilifeform: let's say it is at the end.
asciilifeform: this is just as problematic as agreeing that it is in the beginning of the file!
asciilifeform: i get it, you can 'dwim' in your head, 'my eyes know how big it is' - but how does THE MACHINE know.
jurov: this is unsolved problem?
asciilifeform: this is not a trivial problem, and it has popped up in the past in various guises
asciilifeform: e.g., the old mac os had dual-forked file system
asciilifeform: where there was a separate body for 'metadata' and another for what we think of as the file
asciilifeform: this was, iirc, abolished (though it reappeared in a perverted form in winblowz ntfs)
asciilifeform: in unix file has name, but also, as everyone knows, epochal date and access perms
asciilifeform: these are 'special' in the sense that fs stores them in designated places
asciilifeform: it is not any more or less retarded than the old mac os forks.
asciilifeform: but notice, at no point (since the dark ibm mainframe days anyway) did anyone suggest storing the access time, or perms, IN THE FILE proper
asciilifeform: because this is RETARDED
asciilifeform: you can't magic away the 'metadata' thing just by closing your eyes to it.
asciilifeform: it is an actual thing.
jurov: m$ office and their ilk does
asciilifeform: the clinically sad are no concern of mine.
asciilifeform: 'feed'em to pigz' as mircea_popescu said.
jurov: so your only "solution" is to force whole world to switch from bags of bytes to structured data?
asciilifeform: what switch.
asciilifeform: we already have structure.
asciilifeform: i propose - SANE STRUCTURE
asciilifeform: picture fs with a way to attach seals, say
asciilifeform: instead of idiocies like access time
asciilifeform: (it isn't useless, but a whole chunk of fs for them?!1)
jurov: xattrs do exist
jurov: but we're taling about exchanging stuff over internet
jurov: *talking
asciilifeform: aha and for that we do binary formats
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu wants his fried ice
asciilifeform: i.e. something he can cat to a line printer
asciilifeform: ( ... and then somehow type back in, and have the sig pass ??????)
asciilifeform: incidentally anybody who actually tries the latter with pgp, is stuck with mutilated line endings
asciilifeform: because - guess what - a CR/LF, LF, or CR - LOOK THE SAME on the page.
asciilifeform: and every time i try to explain to him that his notion of 'text' is ill-defined and the actual mechanics, as implemented in unix world and elsewhere, are malignantly retarded
jurov: i guess he wants to sign semantics, not syntax.
asciilifeform: then he ought sign s-expressions.
asciilifeform: where the thing actually gets parsed out before the bignums are exponentiated
asciilifeform: so, e.g., spaces, are not represented as merely a byte but a #\Space
asciilifeform: this is the ultimate in 'in-band'. mega-ugly.
jurov: no, he wants everything converted to plain english. maybe even 5-bit code without support for newline characters.
jurov: and then sign that
asciilifeform: any way you cut it, trying to use a naked unix terminal for this is lunacy
asciilifeform: it only APPEARS to work for gpg
asciilifeform: at the cost of gpg being utterly retarded in 101 ways
