BingoBoingo: trinque: When did I get the honor of becoming one of the Russians?
trinque: only whoever said nothing today said this.
BingoBoingo: Maybe I misread your pederasty comment?
trinque: was giving you the reason for it. justification for "confused" follows the claim, in any "polite company".
BingoBoingo would say he's confused but doesn't want to invite a dick into his mouth.
trinque: the pederasty comment is about the glee with which folks will erect a strawman, ("This is how it's defined." <-> "Why?") vs ("This is how it's defined?" <-> "No it's not.") to fuck, which has more to do with... primate brains, less to do with thinking.
trinque: pecking order is unavoidable but not nearly as interesting as the actual subject there was.
trinque: when the former supercedes the latter entirely, I'm out, retarded primates didn't contort their brains enough to think that day.
trinque: and if this "skewering the thing that wasn't said, to the great entertainment of das man" was widespread among SU intellectuals, that'd be a fine reason for them to have gone into decline.
trinque: to diminish nothing of the idiocy of those following right behind.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, and this is truly lulzworthy : raiding party identified hot girl, set up a meet. at this meet it was established a) that she's from novosibirsk! and b) there was this dorky german fellow attached, who literally sat, by himself, at a table nearby while we had drinks and icecream and shit.
mircea_popescu: two hours in, the girl being a sweet soul, asked if he might be invited over ? so sure, dude's been playing the dog long enough, let him be invited over.
mircea_popescu: he is an engineer. he wants to know, inter alia, what do i do, and knows that "bitcoin isn't mined anymore". it becomes evident from conversation that she's living with him but isn't fucking him, and while the situation is perfectly acceptable to him, it's very tenuous for her.
mircea_popescu: so we mock him a little (which he germans through) and part on good friends. two days later, turns out she moved on.
mircea_popescu: we might have estranged a german engineer's mail order bride!

mircea_popescu: (note, incidentally, how EXACTLY the us "liberal" discourse maps on 1920s chief fascist's discourse)
Framedragger: haha! right, yeah. good to keep that in mind. (subconsciously, i think, that's why i abbreviated the term, it's pretty derp.) it's sad that some (actually) useful notions are held under its umbrella (such as FAE, even though, yes, we've probably seen the latter defined elsewhere in other ways, and it's something that self-aware people tend to be conscious about anyway.)

mircea_popescu: "The bulk of these projects are not provided in source code form and instead appear to be binary files, which further strengthens the hypothesis that these files were compromised from an operational staging post or actively obtained from a field operation.

mircea_popescu: anyway, re the "world-you/i-you" dichotomy and the nonsensical "fundamental attribution error"/"socpsy" poppycock : the determinations of others as to you are made in the context of world-you, and correct or incorrect in THAT context ; your determinations as to you are made ~at your option~ in the context of i-you, and correct or incorrect in that context ; or in the context of world-you and correct or incorrect in THAT conte
mircea_popescu: xt. there is no "you" that'd allow any sort of ambiguity on this topic whatsoever, and the pretense to the contrary is what makes "socpsy" a non-scientific endeavour on the level of kindergaterners playing with cubes - they're not civil engineers!
asciilifeform: 'This IRC + GPG idea is growing legs. Lots of legs: RT @riking27: messages are max 512 bytes, it fits in a single RSA block it's perfect!'
mircea_popescu: i am persuaded that it is correct to hold the ability to reconcile the i-you and the world-you correctly from both perspectives as the one test of maturity of the individual. it is however trivial to empirically prove this is not always possible (which is the deep meaning as well as the intellectual relevancy of tragedy - and which is why the greeks or shakespeare matter, and some nigglet woman does not).
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is fundamental, like the ancient art of not shitting in pants
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh. how does it feel to be liek, in the center of a world so blinded by its central greatness it dares not even raise its eyes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'd be surprised.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: so you'd then perhaps say that, maybe, a transperson is doomed to not be able to reconcile i-you and world-you, and it is tragic to that person (but that *pretending* as if one has integrated the two in that instance is very stupid)?
mircea_popescu: back to welt der kunst for a moment : there is this (idiotarian) notion that the role of art is somehow "emotional" and a piece of crap is art if it "evokes" in the viewer. bullshit. the only point of art is exactly as above : if it provides persuasive examples of the nature discussed.
Framedragger: (hm, maybe you'd not allow for such a term (transperson) in the first place...)
mircea_popescu: this, ironically, makes most of eg "sci-fi" pulp ; and some parts of contemporary (esp visual) arts quite on point.
Framedragger: (for logz, an example of non-pulp scifi is, imho, "closer": http://eidolon.net/?story=Closer)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584892 << i would say that pretending the integration "was already done", as if it were some sort of artefact like an oven rather than a process, like respiration ; or pretending that "someone else" is responsible for it being done (such as don't say word x in front of person y because o noes they're too frail to manage) is pure infantilism.

mircea_popescu: a transperson is no more or less doomed than any other person ; because, again, the gap is fundamental and can not be bridged.
mircea_popescu: just, since the transperson is more specified than the any other person, there is also a more accessible route to their doom
mircea_popescu: much like if you know it's king oedip, you kinda know ~how~ his integration will fail.
mircea_popescu: but this aside, the only reason you're "better" ie different is that you don't know.
mircea_popescu: not that you won't die.
mircea_popescu: (yes, fear of death, in the infantile form thereof is the deep driver behind the pretense of integration "not being a problem", not laziness or anything else.)
mircea_popescu: the ustards are a selection of people uniquely and colossal-y afraid of dying, which explains most of the psychopathology.

asciilifeform: and yes, i'm aware that i can take whatever and package it up in a uuencoded+clearsigned turd. but this is insanity.
mod6: it's your thing, you can do it however you see fit.
asciilifeform: i don't see any of the available options as 'fit' !!
mod6: then do nothing, until there is a solution.
asciilifeform: i gotta do this BEFORE MOTHERFUCKING CRATE SHIPS
asciilifeform: understand??
mod6: 'nothing' is always an option.
asciilifeform: say mr.crate opens his crate and finds rng that spew out marsaglia instead of trng bits.
asciilifeform: he asks 'what gives'
asciilifeform: i point TO DEEDBOT
mod6: what do you propose as the idea solution here?
mod6: *ideal
asciilifeform: ---- except that i can't because apparently we have 0 working infrastructure for actually releasing v code
asciilifeform: solution is that deedbot eats ordinary standalone gpg sigs.
asciilifeform: ( trinque ? how difficult this would be ? )
asciilifeform: to make clear what i need here, 1) i gotta put a source link on nosuchlabs.com 2) it must be a HUMAN READABLE + VALID vgenesis 3) it should be a link to deedbot.
deedbot: http://danielpbarron.com/2016/the-drunken-explorer/ << Daniel P. Barron - The drunken explorer
Framedragger: asciilifeform: *for the time being*, can you not hash the package, and deedbot clearsigned hash of package?
Framedragger: sure, this isn't a logistical solution, but you'll be able to point to a timestamped-and-signed checksum.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ---- except that i can't because apparently we have 0 working infrastructure for actually releasing v code << i disagree with this. what we have, and trb isn't the only one who's done this, is; you make a mirror, and then v.pl deals with this. you grab all the vpatches you want, and the sigs from people you trust, and you place them in v, then you do what you wanna do.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i can, and ~nobody will verify.
asciilifeform: this is no good.
Framedragger: isn't that their problem, not yours?
Framedragger: what use are they who do not verify anyway? do you expect those who do not verify to verify v sigs?
asciilifeform: this isn't the only problem
asciilifeform: how do i even phrase this
asciilifeform: i need to nail down the existence of the current cpld config prior to crate leaving.
Framedragger: (i am aware of vdiff barfing over certain character sequences. but maybe it'd be enough to timestamp-and-sign hash for now? to be able to *prove* things.)
asciilifeform: but to nail it down in such a way that it is immediately obvious to all visitors to my www.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's the problem with signed tarball again ?
asciilifeform: ~obvious~, rather than pryable-apart-if-opposed
asciilifeform: does that make sense ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tarballs ain't vgenesis
mircea_popescu: what exact problem are you trying to solve here ?
asciilifeform: i did not succeed in describing it above..?
mircea_popescu: not for the part where you don't like the solution.
mircea_popescu: you point to deedbot which contains signed tarball. what's the problem ?
asciilifeform: v should abolish the idiocy of 'signed tarballs'
Framedragger not sure why vgenesis must be used here, even though in the future that's the correct ideological pathway, sure. but i'm possibly underinformed and out of my element
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which brings us back to "what problem are you trying to solve"
asciilifeform: it's a motherfucking vgenesis, it's human-readable, AND signed, AND unmutilated, the way it stands
asciilifeform: and that's what i want up on the www.
asciilifeform: and not tarball.
mircea_popescu: if you've internally decided that you won't ship the items until "v demolishes the idiocy of tarballs" we have a problem.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> v should abolish the idiocy of 'signed tarballs' << it doesn't have to. so far, we don't even have anything of the kind. just vpatches + sigs. 'tis all.
mircea_popescu: link me to this item ?

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: plz to read today's log
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the two evident avenues would be a) power differential analysis (ie, see how much electricity it eats, and parasite waveforms it induces). this is amply discussed on web re subverting gpg (eventually they got it to work with mere microphone, but same principle)
Framedragger: (but i think i got it why you don't want binary tarball - it'd sure be nice to be able to host a plaintext package, with v sigs etc right there. hm. but then why deedbot the *whole* thing - why not deedbot only hashes of tarball version of webthing. make webthing available to view, but also for those who wish to verify via deedbot, too, make tarball available. not pretty, but worx for *now*.)
mircea_popescu: and much cheaper b) make it encrypt the same thing a shitton of times and see if there's any key leakage.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you're very loud and not very helpful.
Framedragger: sorry.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller neither of these are "easy" in the sense of windows. you'll have to do research and work the elbow grease to see results.
phf: mod6: we have the 3rd party signed tarballs, that we can't convert to v because of the binary problem. i think asciilifeform doesn't want to fallback to doing the same with own releases. wants to solve binary problem, or find some alternative solution. there's also been a lot of sentiment here against using sha/sig combination. "sign the thing itself" etc.
mircea_popescu: the part where "please don't make me turn ascii into tarballs" is sensible, just, lets see what he actually is talking about.
mod6: phf: oh i get it. i lead by example with trb on this. there is no good solution here. we do not want blobs in V, and somewhere between a-z you end up with a blob that must get signed along with the vpatches.
mod6: there may be some better solution to this with deedbot.
mod6: it currently does not exist.
mod6: now. if you need to ship, this instant. you either do what you can, as I did, or you do nothing until you can.
mod6: if I were him, this is what I would do: take the schematic blob, encode it, clearsign it with a note at the top and a hash of its output value. submit to deedbot. next, edit the code somewhere or prefereably create a README.txt that points to that deed, create a new fuckgoats_genesis.vpatch and fuckgoats_genesis.vpatch.alf.sig on nosuchlabs.com, point to them with your www.
mod6: done. ship it.
mod6: i'll even run a mirror of it myself if anyone would like me to do so.
mircea_popescu: mod6 hang on hang on, it's not even clear any actual blobs are involved this time around.
asciilifeform: there are no;t.
asciilifeform: they will be included strictly as sha512 in the 'readme'.
mod6: ok, cool! then just leave that part out.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what is the matter with sending to deedbot the item #1 wrapped in a "This is a notarized version of the original root of the so and so project, prepared for this and that etc" ?
asciilifeform: the reason why, will become apparent to readers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that it cannot be =?='d without human hands
asciilifeform: it is promisetronic step.
asciilifeform: but since nobody seems to have any better idea, i'ma deedbot a manifest.
mircea_popescu: but the point of deedbot is to contain signed matter intended for human hands ; it is why the signed matter intended for machine processing is a separate mechanism.
shinohai: asciilifeform: is this the `blessed` method for use with fg at moment?
mircea_popescu: no see, nevermind the practice. of major import here is the possibility that we've obtained a theoretical challenge through practice

mod6: To start a bit deeper of a discussion surrounding what we talked about with 'infrastructure' for V, if it's necessary or not, or whatever. I kinda put some thoughts down; http://dpaste.com/2S08M67.txt
mircea_popescu: mod6 you gotta get a blog. how am i gonna link a dpaste in 6 months ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall the solrodar thread ?
mod6: I did that, as to not spam the channel here, and to try to think through what my entire thought might have been. If there is any merit to my thoughts, I'll post it somewhere.
mircea_popescu will read in a moment.,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so then. no such thing. it is ~impossible to machine anything useful out of code, if it were possible, it would be done by compiler and the ~language per se~ would include this intelligence.
mod6: Something just to start the thought of what to do about all of this. Maybe there is even some folding into a UCI with this, not sure.
mod6: Or tb0t for that matter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and yet bounds checking is possible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depends in what
mircea_popescu: which is my point ; your negative is too strong.
asciilifeform: at runtime -- only if the cpu is 'smart' , or if the compiler stuffs in the check every single time
asciilifeform: (a la ada)
asciilifeform: at compile-time -- only if the language is properly constrained

mircea_popescu: which i think he intends to do on his own once he's happy with the whole tower ?
asciilifeform: phf: my sense of joke will come back when i'm done hand-testing the rng boards tonight and finally vacuum seal the last of'em
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's something fundamentally visceral about the written page you're entirely inadherent to, as seen here and in the case of clearsigns etc. pass by reference is not the same as pass by value!
mod6: yeah, that could probably be a decent feature there. i do recall phf talking about it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tru
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sorta why i wanted the whole thing in the genesis.
mircea_popescu: but in truth there's two kinds of kids in the kindergarten, those who go around writing their name on all the cubes and those who go around pointing at all the things and saying "mine!"
asciilifeform: btw when i see symptoms that anybody has read fg.v i will tell an exciting story.

mircea_popescu: now question for the mathematicians in attendance : obviously we know that if you want to "keep bot mining tethered to this point" the approach is to implement drunk walk. this however will result in a gradient intensity of steps, decreasing from the origin. now - how do we shape the intensity distribution so that eg the maximal intensity is in a circle around the origin, while maintaining the desirable properties of the drun

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585207 << hehe pretty nice, like a monk scribing down book patch. btw danielpbarron, your Pi constant has a typo: you have 3.1415926545, should be 3.1415926535 (don't ask, i like memorizing useless stuff)
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 19:16 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584977 << in other news, check out the danielpbarron code narrative style!
Framedragger: actually, that last "5" should be a 6 because the digit that follows is a 9
asciilifeform: btw folx may be interested to learn that the LM393 op-amp IS available from old soviet stock
Framedragger: danielpbarron: and since you have three occurrences of it in 3.1415926545 may as well make it into an actual constant var maybe? /trivial-grammer-nazi-notes
phf: or grab M_PI from math.h include
Framedragger: but that would be boring
phf: yeah, knuth's literate programming style prefers own defines to things like that, when a define is a property of code, rather than artifact of environment
asciilifeform: re: analogue rng, let's say you have a rat in a cage, want to use him for rng. you give him a toggle to press, connect it between 'out' and 'ground', with a pull-up to 'power' (10Kohm or more).
asciilifeform: see schematic for why this works.
asciilifeform: very easy to make a substitute for the current analogue board.

danielpbarron: ty Framedragger, fxd
danielpbarron: that was from memory so apparently i memorized it wrong
Framedragger: (just to be clear, there were two digits wrong (3.14159265_3_5), and the last one (it should go up by one due to proceeding digit). as phf said, math.h has that constant defined, but eh:)
asciilifeform: '“The bottom line is I do owe over $800,000 to Stratfor, Combined Systems, and the nonexistent law firm of Puckett and Faraj...'
danielpbarron: asciilifeform, what do you mean 'leg' re: drunk walk ?
Framedragger: in math terms, probably that when selecting new angle angle, there is a statistical bias towards one side from the current angle? so that if it were a person, one of the legs would be shorter, and the person would be inclined towards one side when walking somewhere.
Framedragger: (if you then draw path of person with enough datapoints (sufficient amount of choose-new-angle events), you'd get an arc/circle.)

mircea_popescu: course the error here is enough to drift the miner one full step in 1bn explore attempts, which is far outside what anyone ever managed to do in one run.
Framedragger: maybe one day eulora will test the limits of common software when the exploration or quality determination during crafting or whatever requires infinite precision real numbers :p
Framedragger: (which is doable and there are libraries for it, it's just slow of course)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585289 << yeah i was thinking mammal rng is prolly not a bad idea

mircea_popescu: Framedragger it already tests the limits of common understanding, with good stuff like pricing, industry models, etc.
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform : actual usecase for FUCKGOATS in eulroa play : because the current mining software uses random to position the miner, the quality of the rng generator decides how likely you actually step outside of the coords you are. ie, if your rng is biased, you're more likely to go outside.
Framedragger: you know, sometimes i'm tempted to write up some kind of graphics-less (otherwise it's not feasible) civ-style simulator with proper economics, including contracts, liquidity etc etc. maybe eulora is the place to explore all that hm :)
mircea_popescu: so it's also a passive bias measurer lol.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger certainly going towards player-run towns etc.
Framedragger: awesome.
mircea_popescu: and yes, alt-client for emacs etc has long been desired. if you make it happen there's eulora riches for you.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585299 << if you set a ratio, and then make steps of different lengths by that ratio, your guy will not move around an origin, but around a circle that stands in same ratio with the outer "bound" circle.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 22:46 danielpbarron: asciilifeform, what do you mean 'leg' re: drunk walk ?
mircea_popescu: (this is not currently feasible in eulora ; but you could have a fixed ratio by togling walk/run each step)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger ^
mircea_popescu: it doth test things doesn't it :D
Framedragger: slippery slope into simulating anatomy! (is this bad? mno) :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's kinda lulzy the barrett dude never showed up, seeing how we're actually doing all he aimed to do a lot better w/o really trying. but hey, such is the power of the inept.
danielpbarron: no, run walk wouldn't do it. have to get a random number from 0 to pi and then randomly add pi to it based on a given chance
mircea_popescu: wait what ?
danielpbarron: the random from 0 to pi picks which angle to use within a certain half of the circle (of possible angles), and adding pi to it would put it in the other half
mircea_popescu: nevermind the angle, this is about the steps.
danielpbarron: i don't see how moving forward more or less after having turned a random angle would change the overall pattern
danielpbarron: Framedragger suggested that the character prefer to move left over right (or vice versa)
mircea_popescu: yes but that's nonsense.
danielpbarron: basically, prefer to move < pi rather than > pi
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron maybe try simulating it ?
danielpbarron: what should be the preference percent?
mircea_popescu: try 2:1 ratio say
danielpbarron: (another variable !!)
mircea_popescu: yeah there is that, in theory. in practice, you can't implement it anyway, walk/run toggle is all you got.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585307 << it's a pretty bad idea under most circumstances.

danielpbarron: could add another number to the already long /bot explore command
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: don't think that's nonsense - it's simply introducing a bias into choosing "which direction - left or right - should i prefer", no? or do you mean that it's not "realistic" and would look stupid? (maybe...)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if you introduce that bias you turn it into directional movement.
mircea_popescu: which yes, can have its uses.
mircea_popescu: just, wasn't the stated problem.
Framedragger: ah, i was probably under the assumption that the movement was already directional, i.e. that the next-angle-choice was infrequent...
mircea_popescu: (fwiw, the "uninterceptable" missiles go like that)
mircea_popescu: how frequent it is also dun figure into things :)
Framedragger: i guess you're right :/

mircea_popescu: well evidently feasible, he just did it.

danielpbarron: mining generally means running foxybot which gathers (/explore) and optionally builds the resulting exploration markers and collects the resulting resources

danielpbarron: the default method is 'line' which doesn't use rand(). but i've recently added a method which uses rand() to choose which direction to turn before moving to the next /explore attempt
danielpbarron: the randomness is generated and used strictly on the user's end. the server doesn't care which direction you walk
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much what it says on the tin, you go out with tools and materials, find natural resources, develop them and get minerals.
