ben_vulpes: anyways, otaku gaijin shit aside a) do you have videos of this thing working or am i supposed to believe that it does because you now have a key you can use and b) how much for the whole circus, delivered
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: will be (figuring out how to, and then) sending you an encrypted gpg thingy tomorrow.
gabriel_laddel_p: it'll have a link to a video.
ben_vulpes: pricing that sensitive, eh?
phf: also sbcl got some balls. they've been adding all this stuff, don't do this, don't do that. i suppose you can either muffle it, or just not optional the second argument and pass nil everytime there's nothing. fwiw your code always has an argument list, so it's non issue
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: not at all: 410 + the price of the hardware.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: does your thing have a www ?
ben_vulpes: well i'm just on tenterhooks waiting to learn what's so cryptworthy
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: I have 4 other people who want them/one. Need to organize my thoughts, stop reading about [redacted] and actually respond to their emails.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: no, and it won't.
asciilifeform: wai not, gabriel_laddel_p ? e.g., FUCKGOATS, has a www
asciilifeform: mpex -- has www. deedbot. etc
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: to move fiat monies into republican coffers. You all get free reign to sell masamune and take 100% of profits past buying the first one.
gabriel_laddel_p: I don't want someone to be able to look up a webpage and debate you about what it is that they get.
gabriel_laddel_p: they get what they get from $PERSON_WHO_ORDERED_FROM_ME
asciilifeform: fwiw whoever wants can also make own FUCKGOATS and sell.
asciilifeform: yet it has www, because wtf, how else anyone knows what it is that is for sale.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: say that you derp around with MGL_MAT and make a neat handwriting recognition module like the HP Compaq TC1100 had.
gabriel_laddel_p: You should be able to charge whatever and "they" can suck it.
mircea_popescu chuckles privately at all teh folk imparting phonetic content through frowning peculiarly at everyday alphabetic notation. oh mu-ne is it!
gabriel_laddel_p: mk back to CA.
mircea_popescu: oh speaking of which, gabriel_laddel_p why not packaging fuckgoats with the masamunes ?
mircea_popescu: oh im too late huh.
asciilifeform: also gabriel_laddel_p's boxen flying off the shelf, but still no permanent postbox..?
ben_vulpes: someone's going to have to fuel the meth habit for another month to pop this one
asciilifeform: and no ransomed old pgp key..?
mircea_popescu: dude he sold 4 boxes, if he makes enough for a decent meal out of that he's ahead of the game.
ben_vulpes: so he says, so he says.
asciilifeform: i'd still like to know wtf it was that he even sells. having a www would help...
mircea_popescu: he apparently wants to sell p2p, big whoop.
asciilifeform: from the l0gz, it looks like a shitlinux with sbcl preinstalled (big fat breakthrough?)
ben_vulpes: phf: ty
ben_vulpes: now if only i could find a graceful way to muffle compiler warnings for functions...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform suspicion is unwarranted for the following reason : if he was aware he's packaging crap, he'd not be courting you ; or him. because unlike him you do have wwws. so either he's patently insane or else got something. in either case, a few hundy, not the end of the world. a decent escort is ~same.
asciilifeform: i have nothing in particular against the d00d, but it is quite genuinely unclear to me where the 'value added' is.
mircea_popescu: same is true about apple.
ben_vulpes: why in the not gentooing your own boxes
ben_vulpes: and all the hours spent changing belts and capplugs
ben_vulpes: as you yourself pointed out
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it isn't optional
asciilifeform: if you don't, you are stuck using some variant of crapple.
ben_vulpes: no i'm going to plug my ears say neener and make it gabriel_laddel's problem
mircea_popescu: the original proposition was "hooker-ready laptop". i can see the "value add".
ben_vulpes: actually whole thing is likely just a ploy to get pre-rooted boxen into republican ops
asciilifeform: clim is 'hooker ready' ?!
ben_vulpes: physicist, maybe
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform masamune;d better be. ben_vulpes hey, find the hole, get a prize.
asciilifeform: ubuntu/whateveritwas autoupdater.
asciilifeform: do i win the prize.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't ubuntu based was it ?
asciilifeform: i've nfi
asciilifeform: now if it had a www...
mircea_popescu: then wut.
ben_vulpes: still gotta fuckin quarantine the thing when it shows up.
ben_vulpes: new topic
ben_vulpes: guitarists who type a lot: do you always trim both hands?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes is guitarist ?
ben_vulpes: i play at least 30 minutes 4 times a week
asciilifeform: neato, i had nfi.
ben_vulpes: some 1.5 years back i leapt off the couch and demanded a hand-held instrument to awaken dormant pathways
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's pet critter has a guitar, but it has not been touched in decade+, might crumble into dust if unpacked.
ben_vulpes: girl provided a guitar in short order
ben_vulpes: so now i play guitar poorly and frequently
asciilifeform: iirc somebody sells electric guitar now that is just a stick with painted-on 'strings', and a comp
phf: deep purple covers on a loop?
asciilifeform: switch on, play by imaginarily plucking.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "guitar hero"!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: no, not the toy, a tunable/playable thing
asciilifeform: but i fuhget the vendor
asciilifeform: something chinese.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: iirc the longest-enduring venus probe croaked after 1h. from overheat. << Or corrosion. Place requires ph balancing
asciilifeform: for some reason i picture the 'baliste' in 'dune' as working like this.
ben_vulpes: baliset i think
asciilifeform: baliset
asciilifeform: kbd eggog
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: d00d has little plastic models of the probez in his office, would go on and on..
ben_vulpes: holy shit i forgot picard was in that
phf: not enough reverb. i always thought baliset being a 70s instrument, considering that they had those portable source of energy in their shields, would be a kind of guitar moog
ben_vulpes: a shit i'm going to have to rewatch this.
asciilifeform: phf: funnily enough, iirc the item used in the film actually fit this description.
asciilifeform: and aha, ben_vulpes , recall during conf 4, mircea_popescu playing the baliset, we poured the waterz...
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aha and the isis men kept trying to fuck the goats :D
ben_vulpes: phf: (cmd &optional args input)
ben_vulpes: which brings me to: "when positional, and when keyword?"
BingoBoingo starting to think that mebbe Venus just needs a moon
phf: ben_vulpes: i think best way to answer that question is to read a lot of existing code from different backgrounds (pre-2000s code, famous people code, etc.). my rule of thumb is that you use optional if ~at call site~ it's still obvious what the argument means. otherwise you promote it to keywoard. (run "foo" `("-p" "bar")) makes sense, but (run "foo" `("-p" "bar") stream) you start guessing. is it input stream? is it output stream?
phf: etc.
phf: in this case, if you want to avoid the warning and not fuck with muffling, i'd stick with (cmd args &key input). fwiw that's what sbcl's run-program does already
ben_vulpes: verily
ben_vulpes: okay ty
ben_vulpes: still means one has to (run "foo" `())
BingoBoingo wonders how many hamplanets need be flung into Venusuvian orbit in order to make a credible moon that spins that bitch around faster.
phf: yes, but you never do, also it's (run "foo" nil) or if you insist (run "foo" ()) though that last one looks funny
phf: you as in you in your code
ben_vulpes: right

ben_vulpes: davout: no, simple rhythm stuff
davout: what do you need your nails for then? get yourself a pick or something
ben_vulpes: compulsive nail tidying is 2x as expensive if you do both hands
ben_vulpes: sounds like davout thinks "just trim your hands evenly, weirdo"
davout: i don't get it, the expensive part for me is "finding the nail clipper", not the "clipping nails"
ben_vulpes: but do you reticulate the splines
davout: what is that?
ben_vulpes: sim city 3k reference
ben_vulpes: "Reticulating the splines..."
ben_vulpes: in the loading screen
ben_vulpes: bad joke, dun sweat it
davout: yeah, googled it, got "Reticulating splines | The Sims Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia", wtf levels increased :D
ben_vulpes: in retrospect, the expensive part is having mismatched nail lengths
ben_vulpes: i have utterly nfi how women put up with all of the ornamental crap
davout: go to the salon, get some other woman to do it for her
davout: on daddy's dime == win
ben_vulpes: my internal popesculator says "what, wimminz are for ornamenting!"
mats: i've always thought it was weird that english speakers use 'daddy' but not 'mommy'
mats: in this context
ben_vulpes: mats: does 'mommy' typically hold the purse strings among yr people?
ben_vulpes: also are talking fathers, husbands, sugar daddies or 'beta buxx'?
mats: i'd say its 1:1
mats: i mean, i grew up in sv, so i live in a weird in-between of us and cn culture
ben_vulpes: heh the sv/us conflation
mats: i gtfo soon as i was an adult, to live outside of the reality bubble
mats: didn't turn out to be that different, the new money here is just young white dudes that wear brooks brothers instead of uniqlo
davout: "In addition to the headline finding, the study also discovered that the more women earn, the greater say they have over the family's financial management." <<< such finding
ben_vulpes: new money is uniformly uninteresting
ben_vulpes: old money moderately interesting if you're trying to marry into it
ben_vulpes: mats: what part of us is "here"?
mats: boston
ben_vulpes: dunno that's too far outside of teh bubb
mats: if i'm being honest i wanted to get away from the massive numbers of asians
ben_vulpes: well i was going to ask if you were in the boston cn wot
mats: but now i miss it, funny how that works
ben_vulpes: your very own tiger mom
ben_vulpes: infinite easy payments of everything you make

mats: i'd like to move to hk or tw before i'm 30 but it seems to be getting more expensive all the time
davout: mats: hows that specific to these places?
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1591573 << i'll have to think on how to fix this
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 02:39 phf: http://btcbase.org/patches/hashes_and_errors#L118 you don't really want to do this. you're subseq'ing there to strip the a/ b/ but that's not at all a guarantee! i have a vpatch with `diff -ib -ruN /Users/pf/cmucl20d-build/src/hemlock/abbrev.lisp src/abbrev.lisp` in it for example. at the very least you want to abstract it away into its own function. that would correctly operate on a hashed-path datastructure.
mats: davout: well, its actually getting cheaper to live in, say, sf or boston, in the short-term, due to high rises going up
davout: you mean wages?
mats: its not really specific to hk or tw, and tw is actually more affordable comparatively
mats: i mean luxury residences pushing prices down
mats: new ones
davout: oic
mats: huh, upon closer inspection, it looks like rent and housing prices are declining in tw and hk too
jurov: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1591566 << not a good idea, because if you pass something clearsigned/encrypted, gpg will decrypt it to stdout, so you end up parsing dangerous user input
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 02:17 phf: there's not much discipline on unix with stderr/stdout. particularly gpg seems cavalier with it. so i wouldn't even bother with error/output separation. i'd make it always return a single value, string that's combined stdout/stderr, and fail when status code is not equal to zero. maybe add a key argument, that splits them if need be, but only once there's need.
jurov: use batchmode and just ignore stdout (unless you need it)

mircea_popescu: pretty sure multiple do this.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit re tropos is that it is not a konsoomer box, but infrastructural (isp, public wifi, gsm, utility sensors) and for some reason popular in orc world
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1733 << as seen here, good chunk of the first N ssh keys to pop were tropos boxen.
asciilifeform: the other interesting experiment, yet undone, is to generate ssh, ssl, pgp, etc. keys on some of the other os with known-broken rng -- e.g., freebsd 2010-2014 (or when was it), possibly other
asciilifeform: then enumerate factors.
asciilifeform: then -- debianize.
asciilifeform: one of the hidden evils of 'of course generating key takes 10 minutes!' traditional entropy starvation -- is that nobody expects to be able to do the test where you generate 10 billion keys and make sure that the resulting keys have gcd of 1
asciilifeform: whereas this is elementarily reasonable.
Framedragger: also, as you noted earlier, there's a good chance a bunch of ssh *client* keys were generated on those machines, too, so also possible to try to bruteforce-login with generated keys (to servers which have broken rngs)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: this also. but -- slow.
asciilifeform: this is for when mircea_popescu gets his botnet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.
asciilifeform since release of FUCKGOATS, spent much time studying 'serpent' block cipher.
asciilifeform: it is pretty interesting imho.
asciilifeform: for instance, there are no tables.
asciilifeform: (and so, no cache-sensitivity.)
asciilifeform: the political history is also rather interesting (it was on track to winning the 'aes competition', received fewest thumbs-down votes from the panelists, but mysteriously torpedoed by usg and did not win)
mircea_popescu: serpent, eh ?
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-fix-global-warming/ << Trilema - How to fix global warming ?
davout: asciilifeform: lol, even frouikipedia concurs
davout: "Une controverse existe, selon laquelle Serpent n'aurait pas été choisi comme AES, car casser ses clés aurait été beaucoup trop complexe pour les services de renseignement civils et militaires. De plus, même dans une version simplifiée il reste robuste. Par exemple Rijndael est très souvent implémenté dans TLS en version simplifiée sur 14 de ses 16 tours pour des raisons de rapidité, mais aussi d'analyses de données. Alors que Serpent
davout: doit être abaissé à au moins 9 tours pour fournir un niveau identique d'exploitation."
asciilifeform: davout: it was a loud, public wank, ~impossible to 'unhappen' to any reasonable degree
asciilifeform: more or less simply declared 'history, done with'
davout: "some terrorists found it controversial"
mircea_popescu: there's certainly worse options than serpent.
asciilifeform: now i will remind readers that 'serpent' is not, afaik, on any kind of scientific foundation. it was made using voodoo doll, just like every other block cipher. (what kind of doll, is described in the paper.)
asciilifeform: BUT it is in several ways, apparent to the naked eye, less retarded than aes
asciilifeform: in particular: no tables.
asciilifeform: pipeline doesn't leak timing either, because - if implemented correctly - you never branch on a secret (key or plaintext) bit.
Framedragger: hut that actually sounds nice..
asciilifeform: the thing executes in constant-ticks, looks like.
phf: in other security "Child uses sleeping mom's thumbprint to buy $250 worth of Pokémon toys (cnet.com)"
mircea_popescu: clearly the security helped.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-12 03:47 mircea_popescu: in any case : i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason. these situations always stink.
mircea_popescu: very reminiscent of elliptic curve "cryptography".
asciilifeform: noshit.jpg. ~same ~2dozen people involved.
mircea_popescu: aha. "experts" and "open source" and "opinion leaders" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: also about 2/3 of the nsa strength in practice, because outside of getting idiots to do idiotic things - they ain't got nuttin.
mircea_popescu: which is why the republican strategy in sociopolitical cryptography is to isolate the nsa assets - the kochs and dreppers and schneiers + a bevy of small fry boecks etc. let them sit on hacker news and upvote each other to death, but otherwise, outside of the usg reservation, they may not opine and they may not be used as reference.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more dire, even, than this, we aren't dealing with 20 years of disinfo artistry, but ~70 ! hagelin, crypto-ag, etc. and the entire poppycock of transposition ciphers surviving into computer age
asciilifeform: especially transpositions as we know them. i'm still waiting to hear why s-boxes are fixed, rather than entirely configured by the key, ever.
asciilifeform: i asked 'professional cryptographers of international repute' and 0 answer beyond 'here's a banana, monkey boy'
asciilifeform: !#s maslennikov
a111: 14 results for "maslennikov", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=maslennikov
asciilifeform: ^ d00d worked for kgb crypto directorate in '80s, asked same question of his superiors, got same answer.
asciilifeform: or, the other obvious mega-question, why there is no STRETCHABLE (a la keccak) block cipher
asciilifeform: where you can have 193-bit words if you feel like it, with 311-bit key. and next day - 301-bit words and 503-bit key, etc.
mircea_popescu: because nobody made it, because everyone spent all their time fucking with xcode and unity.
asciilifeform: (answer is, the folx with 'acres of crays' will butthurt that their oh-so-precious special-purpose silicon is bricked)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why 'xcode and unity', and not 'the bottle'
asciilifeform: moar folx went to the bottle.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to create the up-node : "stop doing stupid shit" is the universal pill to de-usg the world. stop doing stupid shit with crypto, as contemplarted here, there's no nsa nor any possibility of nsa. stop "plea bargain"ing, there's no us justice system. stop using us banks, there's no us finance. stop chasing the web-revolutionary-app-nonsense, there's no "us technical lead". stop trying to marry women there's no "5th wave
mircea_popescu: feminism" and so following.
asciilifeform: esp. because ciphers are a blindingly obvious 'political art', where if you aren't schneier et al, you don't get printed in journals, invited to conferences, implemented by open sores monkeys, etc.
asciilifeform: i.e. 'don't exist'
mircea_popescu: the solutions for all these "stop" are given and trivial, now time to apply.
asciilifeform: 'rocket is trivial, just sit in a pipe and throw hot gas out one end'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i'm sure i don't exist because schneier didn't invite me to the latest round of rubber chicken.
mircea_popescu: the vice-versa is a lot more concerning, for him.
asciilifeform: now i cannot speak for others, but i spent past few yrs exploring the known space between usgola (aes et al) and http://trilema.com/2013/the-danger-of-homebrew-crypto
asciilifeform: and it's more or less a vacuum.
asciilifeform: at least in as far as public lit.
mircea_popescu: evidently, there's serpent :)
mircea_popescu: and cs, and keccak, and things.
asciilifeform: serpent is, i must note, 'best horse in the glue factory.'
asciilifeform: cs is not a block cipher.
asciilifeform: keccak is not any kind of cipher.
mircea_popescu: well yes, but you said "between usgola and dangerous homebrew crypto"
asciilifeform: (keccak or another hash can be abused as a stream cipher, but it is precisely 'retarded homebrew', i will leave the reason ~why~ as an exercise)
asciilifeform: but also i was referring to ~people~ as much as to algos.
BingoBoingo: Lettuce not forget "Equation Group" allegedly uses RC6 to communicate with their turds
asciilifeform: there are surely people other than mircea_popescu and asciilifeform who -- have interest in subj + have the theoretical pre-reqs + seriously ready to get their hands dirty + not thralls of usg
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nsa uses rc6 for all 'deniable ops', because it is goodenough+short in asm
asciilifeform: i used it myself when writing rootkits.
asciilifeform: 'when choosing astrologer, hire the cheapest'
asciilifeform: anyway, there are surely people, but i have not met them yet.
asciilifeform: they, if they live, are in another kingergarten, somewhere far.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally, when i wrote to bernstein, there was 0 answer.
asciilifeform: (and i wrote on 2 separate occasions.)
asciilifeform: the academics, any and all of them, afaik, the bought and the unbought, the imbeciles and the brilliant, americans or chinese, so far show 0 inclination to distinguish us from the ants.
mircea_popescu: the alternative explanation being that people are seriously disabled in the sense of coming up with motivation on their own.
mircea_popescu: this is judicious - there's 0 inclination on our part to feed them so they do what they want to do.
mircea_popescu: academics and republic are mutually exclusive constructions.
asciilifeform: the non-academics, on the other hand, also disappoint. for wholly other reasons.
mircea_popescu: eh, what was appointed for them to disappoint ?
asciilifeform: very basic jobs, comprehensible even to a retarded lemur, remain screamingly undone.
mircea_popescu: tell me about it.
asciilifeform: (e.g., block cipher with ~any~ theoretical basis)
mircea_popescu: stuff currently in the eulora hackathon could have been done ~two years ago.
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform is building a massive 3d gpu + fast cpu + max ram etc. machine, and, among other uses, it will build+run eulora
BingoBoingo: how does RAM compare to Phuctor?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: smaller
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: civilian box, for pleasure, 32G
asciilifeform: fits into a ~toaster-sized iron box.
asciilifeform: maybe i fill it with transformer oil.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the difference being you know, that "come up with block cipher with ~any~ theoretical basis" is more in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-23#1589135 whereas eulora bot things are more in the vein of "fix yourself a martini"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is so, but mt. everest screams out to climbers from afar
asciilifeform: whereas martini, most folx have to fix with own hands.
mircea_popescu: if your criteria becomes "i won't do that because too hard ; and i won't do this because too easy" then yes you've just about described present day academia.

mircea_popescu: your ability to use computers may come to depend on obeying the above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski more than enough
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 1070
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: o ? awesome
asciilifeform: it oughta suffice.

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 8gb gfx card ? mega.
asciilifeform: they're inexpensive.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: perfect!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 0.4 BTC isn't thaaat cheap.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: linked item is the minimal board for eulora ?
mircea_popescu: no, it's the recommended.

mircea_popescu: and all sorts of utter, ancient laptop level crap.
asciilifeform: lel that's a 2d card...
pete_dushenski: let this therefore be remembered as the time alf pissed away 0.3btc (30mn ecu) on his eulorabox build. but hey, nothing like a little deficit to urge on the bot-crafting imagination! watch alf knock down all four hackathon prizes now.
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe in a few years the gfx level goes way up and it'll turn it into a good investment.

mircea_popescu: anyway, there's people playing with quadro fx boards, so should be fine.

jurov: will be hilarious if alf runs into it, too
mircea_popescu: yeah radeon is for some reason iffier fwis.
mircea_popescu: possibly because the client gfx library isn't properly ironed out, tbh.
asciilifeform: jurov: 12?! i played 'quake' on 486-dx2, was approx like this.
mircea_popescu: i have mine capped because otherwise it's 150-200 which... meh.
asciilifeform: and lel, i dun think i said that i planned to ~play~ eulora. just -- build and run !!
jurov: as there's no fighting yet, it's fully playable at 12
