esthlos: ben_vulpes: I don't claim that people actually acted for the benefit of their lineage, but that they understood that they should
esthlos: whoops
esthlos: !!up
esthlos: i want to say v is genius, but it seems like common fucking sense. columbus' egg i suppose
esthlos: oh, i see
esthlos: ah
esthlos: so some of the gentoo devs are around?
esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-30#1761390 if this is the case, why not go LFS?
esthlos: jawbone2: my 2cents: get a linode with a static ip for $5/mo. for a dynamic dns, run a cron sending your local ip to the linode, and a cron to edit your dns record accordingly on the remote. for the web server, either preroute remote's 80 to some local port, or just run it on non-80
esthlos: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20171229/#519 << oh, very interesting. I will look into that
esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760528 << I swear I've seen it somewhere...
esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760511 << possible that it got buried in the unconscious somewhere
esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760509 << well, I haven't be writing C for that long lol
esthlos: even with small C projects I start to panic when I realise I don't know how it works anymore
esthlos: certainly I can't write elegant C tho
esthlos: *caps the complexity
esthlos: elegant C exists, but the limits of the language the complexity it can handle without exploding into incomprehensibility.
esthlos: it seems specifically designed to reduce the intelligence of the programmer to what a manager can understand
esthlos: excellent. also, I feel your pain. every day I write in C, I swear I lose an iq point
esthlos: phf: alright, I will have to read up. my practice v implementation will be in CL, and I was thinking of implementing mcilroy for educational purposes. if such an implementation sounds useful, let me know
esthlos: the program should be a good substitute for reading the paper directly
esthlos: phf: vaguely, that the code maps to the actual problem with no extraneous complexity, in an easily readable way
esthlos: fwiw I read McIlroy's paper and would be willing to implement it _transparently_, if there's interest
esthlos: 300K loc????
esthlos: phf: a little birdie told me you are working on a diff replacement. have you made significant progress?
esthlos: BingoBoingo: yes, I think it's time for that
esthlos: that's where I'm at, trying to figure out the order to apply the diffs
esthlos: by selecting which keys are acceptable, we get a subsequence of acceptable diffs, which are then used to patch the source
esthlos: there is a collection X of diffs, a collection Y of detatched signatures of those diffs, and a collection Z of pubkeys corresponding to those patches
esthlos: i'm trying to implement V, without reading too much source (as asciilifeform suggested), so how is this so far:
esthlos: ah
esthlos: noob question: why not use a fast nondeterministic algo and sieve on the results?
esthlos: mmk
esthlos: well that works then
esthlos: so probably CL
esthlos: mircea_popescu: right now I'm most comfortable in scheme, but I want to change that to common lisp
esthlos: mircea_popescu: alright. I've been thinking of writing a v implementation following http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-participate-in-the-affairs-of-the-most-serene-republic/
esthlos: I don't have anything specific in mind
esthlos: mircea_popescu: is there a preference on how I compute totient?
esthlos: diana_coman: thanks
esthlos: okay this is cool, will implement
esthlos: i was acquainted with him
esthlos: well what do you know, richard crandall
esthlos: mircea_popescu: if I can. what is it?
esthlos waves back
esthlos: this channel is like discovering the last psychiatrist again
esthlos: asciilifeform: you mean wikipedia? i agree its shitty
esthlos: mircea_popescu: more like infinite solutions, so choosing any single solution is arbitrary. just like the feynman path integral. its thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_series_theoremhis problem in a larger context:
esthlos: but 5+d is easy and 0-3 are workable
esthlos: mircea_popescu: its almost a joke of the universe that 4d manifolds are almost impossible to classify https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_manifolds#Dimension_4:_exotic
esthlos: mircea_popescu: as to quantum computers, I don't know a whole lot about quantum, but i believe that an information-theoretic approach to spacetime is the best bet to quantize it
esthlos: my thesis is about a rigorous approach...which only works in 3D... sigh
esthlos: the quantum path integral is a farce, even dirac said we need to start over
esthlos: quantm field theory is a mess, everyone just wants to be the next einstein, no one cares about understanding what is going on
esthlos: asciilifeform: wrt sr/gr
esthlos: asciilifeform: yes
esthlos: mircea_popescu: but not what the field theorists do. they can go to hell
esthlos: mircea_popescu: spacetime is my main field of study
esthlos: mircea_popescu: I haven't see that of naggum's
esthlos: mircea_popescu: my thesis is probably the most interesting.
esthlos: mircea_popescu: you can find some work at http://www.esthlos.com
esthlos: mircea_popescu: i apologise for disappearing. I was in meatspace this weekend
esthlos: !!down
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i will start reading some logs. enjoy your sun and beautiful women
esthlos: nice system
esthlos: oh duh i have to decrypt the msg
esthlos: i'm messaging deedbot
esthlos: well
esthlos: BingoBoingo: thank you
esthlos: so i've been blasting through the blogs of the 'lords'
esthlos: i've been reading, but its hard to pull together a narrative
esthlos: alright
esthlos: unlike most, where beating the underlying game (through code) is woefully out of scope
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i've been considering hacking around with eurola, its seems like a game which actually rewards intelligence
esthlos: BingoBoingo: interesting
esthlos: BingoBoingo: and my guess is that you guys view fiat currency like lispers view most programming
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i know enough about computing to know that asciilifeform is right about the general idiocy
esthlos: BingoBoingo: i'll put it this way
esthlos: my background is as a lisper and mathematician
esthlos: I've been trying to wrap my head around TMSR
esthlos: sounds nicer than the -10C here
esthlos: bien, e tu?
esthlos: hello
