a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 02:36 lobbes: at least that 50bux in somalia is > 0bux. Beats lotto player, but that is a good point: after wire fees it doesn't beat it by much
mircea_popescu: seems wiring money to the same idiots that made it necessary for you to abandon country and fambly with their rampant idiocy might be a worse move than just pouring it into cement.
mircea_popescu: unless, of course, he's wiring it to some radical group. though i vaguely don't expect western union would "allow" that.
erlehmann: don't worry, i'll do the “if you use chrome, wine and gnome, visiting random websites might yield vbscript” writeup sometime soon. it's too hilarious.
erlehmann: i might want to figure out the UTF-16 LE issue before that. of course, i can do my injection in UTF-16 LE, but i want to know where it comes from.
mircea_popescu: same place the fixed font thing came from we were lulzing at a few days ago
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : i took girl to strip joint crawl today. highlight of the night, this plastered drunk waitress / whore that wouldn't take 3k for a 2k tab. literally, she gave it back to me, evidently i made a mistake.
erlehmann: > drunk waitress / whore
erlehmann: seems both like jobs where being sober helps
mircea_popescu: if you're any good at it, at least.
mircea_popescu: it's incomprehensible they even manage to have strip clubs here AT ALL. the girls are so utterly innocent of anything to do with either money or fucking that they might as well be the local highschool volley team.
mircea_popescu: in fact, ~every one i've seen played soccer on the monitors. except for the one that had VERY BAD porn. i mean terribly bad.
erlehmann: i use GNU unifont wherever i can. fits in head.
erlehmann: (conceptually, at least. non-scalable 8x16 / 16x16 glyphs all the way down.)
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 21:29 mircea_popescu: "i'll believe it when i see it with big font in rounded corners."
erlehmann: too real
mircea_popescu: moomoos.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann anyway, it was something about how random windoze userland used arbitrary font for form making or i don't recall, some management function anyway.
erlehmann: if i recall correctly, windows has font handling at an entirely wrong abstraction level (think TTF kernel exploit)
erlehmann: > One generic approach is to limit the privileges of font processing code in their respective environments, such as enforcing sandboxing of the FreeType library, or moving the font engine out of the kernel in Windows (which Microsoft has done starting with Windows 10). However, that is mostly beyond our reach.
erlehmann: madness
erlehmann: so much about userland, eh?
mircea_popescu: the problem with the systemd approach to system design is that everything ends up wanting to be its own master-exceptional-class.
mircea_popescu: you see it in the dumbass faux bitcoins the usg "developers" keep producing too.
mircea_popescu: that's kinda the point no systemd detractor ever made : that systemd is fundamentally and by itself an unstable arrangement, and it'll end up stuck systemding itself to death, very much like how the dnc keeps revolutionizing itself into irrelevancy.
erlehmann: it surely has a very low bus factor.
BingoBoingo: Very high stepping in front of a bus factor though

mircea_popescu: famous moment of systemd sound engineering.
mircea_popescu: Ritchie/Gillan.
erlehmann: i remember a post from “the old new thing” about “why can't we have a method to have our window on top of all others?”
mircea_popescu: erlehmann and you know what will happen -- two will call it at the same time. and you know what they'll do -- a Top.Window.Manager to handle the conflict. and so on.
erlehmann: oh, but then i looked for it and there exist several
mircea_popescu: very much india code.
erlehmann: mircea_popescu in the past i wondered how people who ask that question never consider someone else might think themselves such an exceptional snowflake.
mircea_popescu: you know the cool guy joke ?
erlehmann: probably not
mircea_popescu: guy asks hotel desk to call him a cab, which they do. he gets in and not long after discovers that the madcap driver is actually not accidentally blowing a red light, but systematically blowing each and every one of them.
mircea_popescu: so he asks, hey, aren't you supposed to stop on red ? and the driver replies that he's a cool guy, an' cool guys don't have to stop for shit.
mircea_popescu: the guy is sorta pondering this away in his head, when suddenly they run into a green light and the driver breaks like all gedup.
mircea_popescu: "what the hell's the matter now ? it was green ?"
mircea_popescu: "yeah, but what if there's a cool guy coming the other way ?"
erlehmann: i must admit that cheered me up a bit, even though i knew how it would turn out halfway through :)
erlehmann: i must so the cool guy has not reached maximum snowflake
erlehmann: sorry
erlehmann: sleepy
BingoBoingo was expecting peak snowflake, collision
mircea_popescu: no, the thing is the cool guy is dealing with a physical system. it has backblow, if you're too special you're not gonna be around anymore.
erlehmann: so the cool guy must not have reached maximum snowflake level (where no one else could even think themselves snowflake)
mircea_popescu: reality is self-healing, tjhat's why the pantsuits live on pizza and reddits.
mircea_popescu: or i'm sorry, "nutritionally balanced diets" and "science".
BingoBoingo: self-healing can be funny
erlehmann: problem is timespan. systemd already could not handle an empty string and executed tasks for users named “0day” as root because names starting with numbers are hard, mmmkay?! it might take a long time before it collapses.
erlehmann: consider PHP still exists
BingoBoingo: Who needs to block egress when entire building shell can be clad in flammable polyurethane foam
BingoBoingo: PHP has a niche
mircea_popescu: erlehmann php is not a system in absolutely any sense. it is a text processor, why would it not exist.
erlehmann: also, any individual car using systemd and literally crashing because of it is unlikely to contain lennart.
BingoBoingo: It's that thing everyone assumes Phuctor uses so Phuctor gets to collect all the PHP run time exploits thrown into not a PHP run time
mircea_popescu: there is a substantial difference between someone trying to build a house with a badly formulated pi, who ends up building a spiral instead of a tower and never thereby finishing ; and someone who in his house builds a clay pot with his own hands and no potter's wheel. so what if the pot will leak ? it can hold a potted plant or whatever, hang on a wall, participate in a domestic argument...
BingoBoingo: In some of those applications, leak is a plus!
BingoBoingo: excess plant water drains through leak, nail to wall goes through other leak
BingoBoingo: Anyways, this was an excellent self healing http://qntra.net/2017/06/dead-alt-soros-no-longer-effective-in-protecting-daughter-from-truth/ Latest not news is former GOP congress critter/TV host quit GOP over hurtbutt
BingoBoingo: This is a very bullish win for leakcoin
mircea_popescu: what specifically has she to leak ? titfilling ?
erlehmann: titcoin
BingoBoingo: Nah, it's the alt-soros reality distortion field leaking onto her face. Also her face was leaking blood because likely cialis can only do so much for Morning Joe.
BingoBoingo: Surgical youth simulation
BingoBoingo: The reality leaking in is that the most important man in her life is gone and the new most important man, lacks eldritch powers she is accustomed to. Whole new set of daddy issues in her fifth decade.
mircea_popescu: there's always going to be more zsa zsa gabors around than free drinks available.

asciilifeform: while we're on subj, ffa is more or less guaranteed to lose to just about any heathen bignumtron in factorial speed, and it should not be hard to see why.
asciilifeform: ( in fact it will never win speedwise against ~anything at all. but factorial is probably the worst item. )
asciilifeform: not built for speed. but for simplicity. the only concessions to optimization (karatsuba, etc) are strictly what was necessary to get to where rsa happens in merely annoying, rather than geological, time .
asciilifeform: i am considering including a karatsuba squaring case - for 2x speed boost; but that's definitely it.
asciilifeform: ( it is possible also to get 3x speed boost , on machines with 3 or moar cpu cores, on top of all, by allowing tasking ; this adds 12 or so lines. but i'd rather not , it subtracts from msdosificatability )
asciilifeform: now for the truly ugly variant, asm for the inner w*w mult gives another 2x.
asciilifeform: but wai.
asciilifeform: i kinda like it how it was : short, sweet, portable to whatever, apple2.
asciilifeform: ( it dun even need >8bit cpu, to work )
asciilifeform: btw if you're actually doing something that doesn't need constanttime, you can simply put the obvious check-for-zero in the karatsuba and get 2-9000x boost for mul.
asciilifeform: i quite deliberately did not put this in. who wants, can put in at his own peril.

asciilifeform: mod6: other thing, since ffa is constant time, your N! is in O(N) (if mul were considered a constant op and brought outside of the brackets. which is is, 10! with 4096bit ffa, takes exactly C longer than 9! with 4096bit ffa. etc )
asciilifeform: you can immediately say how long the thing will take.
asciilifeform: just determine the C, and multiply.
mod6: aha. gotcha.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> which, btw, imho is intrinsically unsuitable for a fits-in-head rsatron, it is extremely gnarly and uses float approximations that get magically unfudged back to int, etc << ugh. right.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 05:13 erlehmann: i use GNU unifont wherever i can. fits in head.
asciilifeform: ( why was it necessary to unicodize the fucking hieroglyphs ? even supposing the chinese are inseparable from them. why not simply carry them as bitmap matrix.)
erlehmann: asciilifeform the sole purpose of unicode is to replace all other glyph standards. from that follows all else, i.e. incorporation of wingdings, emoji, etc.
asciilifeform: it is rampaging idiocy
erlehmann: what do you suggest as an alternative?
erlehmann: switching encodings needs out of band signaling which IMO is worse
asciilifeform: people who want to use hieroglyphs, should be passing around bitmaps.
asciilifeform: they wanna say 妓 -- let'em be stuck saying 32 bytes (16x16 bit matrix, more than enough for any hierohorror) rather than 2 bytes !!!
erlehmann: what actually happened is that people who wanted to use hieroglyphs passed around codes such as A13 – a standard reference exists (gardiner's sign list) that was incorporated into unicode
erlehmann: that's all
asciilifeform: definitely not 'all'
asciilifeform: it's a shambling horror, with empty desert, duplicated glyphs, no particular rhyme or reason, and all the consistency of microshit
erlehmann: okay, but most of it. a special interest group (egyptologican geeks) used a glyph standard. unicode swallowed that standard. this is how it usually goes.
erlehmann: also, for everyday communication i find E1, E2, E3, E4 etc. much better than trying to pass around bitmaps
asciilifeform: this nonsense has no future, erlehmann .
asciilifeform: dun wanna pass bitmaps -- use godly alphabets.
asciilifeform: with $smallint number of glyphs.
erlehmann: can it be that your complaint is more with the egyptian glyphs than with unicode itself?
asciilifeform: mno, that'd be mircea_popescu's.
erlehmann: some writing systems contain non-abstract symbols. all the same to me, as long as everything fits in 16×16 bits.
asciilifeform: though i definitely see the strength of his argument, that people who use more glyphs than there are keys on keyboard, have severe problem, and their place is by the cultural latrine, and not bloating the os for civilized folx
asciilifeform: erlehmann: didja ever read the pernicious-standardization thread in the logz ?
erlehmann: no, link?
erlehmann: asciilifeform i strongly suspect you do not distinguish between complexity and sheer numbers. i saw bloat always as referring to needless complexity, size of something only as evidence, not as bloat itself.
asciilifeform: gonna tell me that hieroglyphic writing is not needless bloat ?
asciilifeform: if i start writing english as strings of 16-bit indices into the oxford dictionary, people will laugh.
asciilifeform: but for some reason will not laugh if chairman mao does the same thing.
asciilifeform: why not?
asciilifeform: why, because 'come to expect' ?
asciilifeform: fuck that, with red hot poker.
erlehmann: one point is that incorporating something in unicode does not increase processing complexity by any means. i actually installed a new version of unifont on an old phone and instantly it could display all the new characters.
asciilifeform: the mere possibility of 'new characters' is antisanity.
erlehmann: so if code does not care if there exist 250 or 2500 or 250000 characters, why should i?
asciilifeform: well for starters 250,000 > 65536
asciilifeform: so you now have either 24bit chars, or O(N) stringlen operator.
erlehmann: that turns out to be a problem with the abysmally bad TTF file format.
asciilifeform: you want to tell me that this is not a cost ?
erlehmann: yes, but this cost has already been incurred. unicode actually tried to prevent too many new characters in the past, leading to misfeature han unification.
asciilifeform: just like the poettershits convinced idiots that 16bit chars were 0cost
asciilifeform: it has NOT been incurred.
asciilifeform: i do not write non8bit text processors, and don't intend to ever.
erlehmann: chinese, japanese, korean now share unihan, with all the processing complexity and technical debt incurred from that
erlehmann: asciilifeform ok enjoy your latin1 while it lasts.
asciilifeform: 'it lasts' lol
asciilifeform: from my cold dead hands, motherfuckers.
erlehmann: version 1 of unicode was designed to keep under 16 bits
asciilifeform: incidentally i use 'orc glyphs' every day. koi8 etc.
erlehmann: in those days, only ~21k characters were reserved for CJK
erlehmann: which obviously is not enough (i read something about ~100k characters being enough)
jurov: "incorporating something in unicode does not increase processing complexity" orly? maybe unless you want to do anything interesting with the text, like... count the characters. or case convert. or detect whitespace. or compare two strings. or...
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 18:21 mircea_popescu: this notion that i will support the wintel FOR FREE is the lolz of all time.
erlehmann: asciilifeform thx
erlehmann: jurov converting case is locale-specific, therefore better left undone.
jurov: dude. all of above is locale specific
erlehmann: also, comparing two strings should be done bytewise, always. everything else is madness.
erlehmann: character count and whitespace is locale specific? AFAIK whitespace is an ENUM
erlehmann: one with only 25 members, seems sensible
jurov: erlehmann my language has such a delightful case of "ch" character. which is a "digraph" and to be counted as one char.
jurov: and collated in between h and k
jurov: unicode has zillions if these cases
erlehmann: well, if ch is one character, i rather have it as one codepoint.
erlehmann: instead of having to postprocess ASCII
jurov: your client will not supply it as one
jurov: they will just expect it to work
jurov: there are plenty of articles "what programmers mush know about unicode" with such gotchaz. just educate yourself.
jurov: *must
erlehmann: ch does not exist as unicode ligature, but as i understand distinguishing characters is one of the problems unicode is at least intended to solve. as soon as everyone uses Æ for “ AE” the postprocessing is no longer needed.
erlehmann: note that postprocessing is always wrong.
erlehmann: in standard german, ß / ẞ / ss / SS are not ambiguous, but in german variants that do not use ß / ẞ, the ss / SS could be a digraph depending on context.
erlehmann: e.g. those who do not use ß / ẞ write “Der grosse Duden” instead of “Der große Duden”
asciilifeform: ᛋᛋ !
erlehmann: asciilifeform unicode has you covered
erlehmann: i suggest put the following in your .XCompose if you use X11
erlehmann: <Multi_key> <N> <S> <D> <A> <P> : "卐" U5350 # CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-5350
erlehmann: it nicely complements what they already have out of the box
erlehmann: compose + C C C P → ☭
phf: fwiw unifont is not even the whole story. consider extensions like CTL, which allows you to have special rendering for a sequence of glyphs. a completely separate technology from ligatures and combining characters, but part of the standard never the less.
erlehmann: phf unifont actually leaves out shitstains like arbitrarily combining glyphs to make national flags.
erlehmann: i just see „DE“ surrounded by a special frame instead of a german flag
erlehmann: and i like it that way
phf: well, without such a "shitstains" you can't for example render arabic or iranian in any meaningful way
erlehmann: no color on my terminal please
erlehmann: unless i made it
phf: combining glyphs to make national flags is yes yet another extension
erlehmann: and one introduced because unicode consortium was sick of other misbehaving standards bodies (ISO country codes), ha-ha!
mod6: <+asciilifeform> also you forgot, in the original, to divide the length of ffa by 64 (bits), yours will blow up instead of run, gcc by default does not give infinite stack << ah thanks for making the changes asciilifeform. bak now. will try this out...
asciilifeform: erlehmann: the 'ligature' liquishit had almost 600 motherfucking years, to get lost, now. since gutenberg.
mod6: one thing, that i never really thought about is going the other direction; 1 * 2 * 3 ...
asciilifeform: if you don't have a gutenberg-compatible alphabet for your language, it is defective .

mod6: but ofc, computers don't care.

mircea_popescu: again, no argument. T needs to be measured, factorial is a fine case to measure it in, we don't resort to the lab when we wish to prove theory wrong but in all cases and at all times because we like the lab.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another fine experiment is to do 9000 mults of B-bit rngolade. demonstrates that the payload really has 0 impact on time.
asciilifeform: ( to the extent such a thing is to be demonstrated experimentally. )
mircea_popescu: verified experimentally.
asciilifeform: it doesn't relieve of the burden of having to actually prove correctness tho.

mircea_popescu: (helmets -- great. the process that normally produces them -- poison)
mircea_popescu: alright, now to the question.
erlehmann: process that produces them → people die from head injuries?
mircea_popescu: no. people worring about people drying from head injuries.
mircea_popescu: note helmet works -- before the fact. it's not fucking antibiotics.
mircea_popescu: process that produces antibiotics -> people needing to hold on to a tree while peeing.

mircea_popescu: you probably are familiar with, but anyway : they ~~~ENCLOSED THEIR BALCONIES~~~.
mircea_popescu: this is to say, standard soviet matchbox dwelling, like berlin is still full of, came from the maker with a "balcony", which was open to the outside. they -- paid, scions of the decrepit metalworking industry, to solder/weld/glue to the balustrades ugly scrap metal pikes and pipes, and in between them put glass.
mircea_popescu: just as soon as they managed to get a little capital, which is to say money not needed day to day, they stuck it in this deeply improductive activity. not went to istanbul to buy cheap colorful crap to resell, not anything else.

erlehmann: mircea_popescu when i write software that considers the input language, i tend to write a grammar for the subset i am going to handle. so yes, i have written software that considers i.e. only characters valid in urlencoded base64 as input and rejects everything else.

mod6: I'll check into wtf is going on. I'm running gnat on 4.9.2 on deb.
mod6: im probably condemmed to going through all the hoops to get gnat setup on gentoo. i just haven't ventured into it yes as it seems like a pretty timely, process.
mod6: *time consuming
mod6: but worthwhile.

asciilifeform: try yourself
mircea_popescu: i have, they're there.
asciilifeform: ( use the one in the tar, paste in, then, e.g., wget -- what happens? )
mod6: asciilifeform: here's what I get when I grab the generic Makefile, and use your fact.tar.gz: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RaNYu/?raw=true
mod6: im gonna try to see if I can resolve the issues. probably just my environment or whateve.r
phf: it does seem to mangle ~something~
phf: $ dd if=/dev/random of=foo bs=1024 count=100
phf: $ shasum foo
phf: 82a2e85430ce36b759c5422a7433001d6e64b777 foo

phf: oh i think it transcodes
mircea_popescu: phf i think your curl transcodes ?
mircea_popescu: send it as postdata or what was it, special binary format
mircea_popescu: otherwise html spec is to % binary posted in forms
phf: that's what i'm doing (this is the curl command ftr http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-15#1684821)
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 23:49 phf: where wotpaste is http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/K916E/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: ah i thought it was the above quoted
mircea_popescu: phf no that's not it
phf: yeah, wotpaste does the pasting, curl then pulls it back. i wonder if curl download negotiates it up to unicode
mircea_popescu: --data-ascii <data> HTTP POST ASCII data (H)
mircea_popescu: --data-binary <data> HTTP POST binary data (H)
mircea_popescu: first is default
phf: since i'm posting to a form though, it must be rfc 2388 compliant. afaiu posting raw binary data wouldn't work, because server needs to know which field the data is associated with
phf: do you have a full command with --data-binary that you're using to upload?
mircea_popescu: use --data-binary, will work fine
mircea_popescu: phf it's just a flag, put it in.
phf: it's not, --data-binary takes <data> as an argument, at least according to man
mircea_popescu: (nfi why we're even testing uploading binary to wotpaste, as that's not what it's for, but w/e.)
phf: well, i wanted to see what sort of bits it mangles if any. and right now my combination of commands posts a file http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/q7PCa/?raw=true but returns http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ieRBr/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: you mispasted a wotpaste link i think
phf: o_O
phf: i checked them, they look correct
mircea_popescu: is the first the command tyou use ?
mircea_popescu: because i see 00000000: 0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f ................ as first line
mircea_popescu: oh wait, you post the first one and get back the 2nd one ?
phf: yes
mircea_popescu: i get the expected.
phf: sorry, the two are not actual files, but hexdumps of the files i'm trying to post/getting back
mircea_popescu: post the actual bash you're using ?
phf: i'm using this function http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/K916E/?raw=true to post this file http://glyf.org/tmp/foo i'm posting it by doing a command "cat foo | wotpaste"
mircea_popescu: try repolacing -F 'pastebox=@-' \ with --data-binary 'pastebox=@-'
phf: doesn't work, it posts, but the contents of the paste are e.g. http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/ORZ0T/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: try repolacing -F 'pastebox=@-' \ with --data-binary -F 'pastebox=@-' \
mircea_popescu: ah because you set -X
phf: no, because --data-binary takes an argument
mircea_popescu: wotpaste() { echo $(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} --data-binary -F 'pastebox=@-' http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com\)}
mircea_popescu: you have -w url-effective twice in there ftr.
mircea_popescu: phf it does, the actual stuff you're sending. i imagine you feed it to curl via something somewhere in the call yes ?
mircea_popescu: such as >>
mircea_popescu: no idea why i'm taking partial code/functions and making assumptions. here :
phf: everything that i'm doing is expressed in this single message so i've no idea why you're making assumptions: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-16#1684895

sina: hey phf, quick q, is lisp memory safe?
phf: moo
phf: common lisp specification defines a memory safe language, yes, but in the crevices of "undefined behavior" you can have memory related exceptions. for example you can define a function with (safety 0) optimization declaration, which will neglect to check the type of a passed argument, which might (and often will) result in a memory exception.
sina: hmm ok thanks
sina: that sounds reasonable
mircea_popescu: put your test lines in the first file ; examine the results.txt file for the results.
trinque: diff <(curl -s $(cat foo | wotpaste)) foo Binary files /proc/self/fd/11 and foo differ << with his wotpaste func and foo
mircea_popescu: phf what i mean is, im stuck guessing how wotpaste() { is called and etcetera.
phf: i say it right there! "cat foo | wotpaste"
phf: ...
trinque: seems sorta like there's a double encode happening.
sina: double encoding is the best and least confusing kind of encoding
