asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the neighbouring racks were not all empty, interestingly.
asciilifeform: ( considering BingoBoingo's earlier discovery that almost all industrial comps ever imported there, are via contracts with microshit/dell/minions )
asciilifeform also wonders whether there isn't a hidden symbiosis between the usg.corp derps who prolly ship ~100% of the rackable comps ever before shipped to UY, and the 'we want a cut of that printolade you print' bridgetrolls
asciilifeform: i will add : this is for a 10$ cable with fortybux of importtax ~prepaid~ via shitazon
asciilifeform: it simply happens that one of them, got out, last autumn.
asciilifeform: hard to say 0, there's simply gotta be at least 1 or 2 debian victims
asciilifeform: ^ potentially good for some implausibly-large num of popped mods
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nosuchlabs.com/hardware.html , and per mircea_popescu's 2016 spec , given as there is not yet a 2nd iron product, they are idempotent
asciilifeform: oh, and to complete earlier snapshot picture : Known Moduli: 10347987 .
asciilifeform: sorta ~whole point of phuctor -- to increase the minimal complexity/cost for enemy .
asciilifeform: ^ it set off asciilifeform's heuristic bell re 'possible symptom of derps distributing ineptly mutilated lord key'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1810271 << i suspect that there is no physical operation involved, it is 100% chumpatronics, like all other subjects of usg.startupism at this point
asciilifeform: ( to complain, wheedle, demand refunds for emptied bottle, etc )
asciilifeform: at some point folx will start to feel cramped.
asciilifeform: tho if we had a miner, it'd be tempting item to install while there's still mains current capacity left over that is already being paid for. tho of course nobody has a miner, not for many years.
asciilifeform: also for compact n-port switches ( the popular ones, are stupidly large physically, and eat away precious space inside the enclosure )
asciilifeform: i'm also on the lookout for even smaller arm boards ( found 1 , but the specs do not stand up to bang-per-buck comparison with RC )
asciilifeform: selling to l1 was comparatively simple
asciilifeform: or do i gotta recompute from the available #s
asciilifeform: you can click on an item and 'add to cart' and 19 times out of 20 will get simple eggog when 'ship to $bbaddr'
asciilifeform: very , very spiffy , trinque , i am impressed that this exists
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my current understanding is that it is simply your 'shore leaves' in hotel ? am i right ?
asciilifeform: https://archive.li/RoYHH << current snapshot of stats, for comparison later.
asciilifeform: coincidentally, jump of www traffic on dulap in past half hr.
asciilifeform: the robo-politruk, last hoap of ze empire
asciilifeform: zx2c4: the logs countain a thousand examples. e.g. most americans are convinced that they can buy and drink milk in the corner shop ( they cannot, they buy 'ultrapasteurized' rubbish that tastes nothing like actual milk) ; that they live in 'nice house' ( they live in equiv of movie set, made of matchsticks, that falls over when first serious gust of wind ), that ... i could go on for a week and not even scratch the surface
asciilifeform: most amerireich victims at least have the excuse of complete ignorance of the outside of their velveeta-civilization.
asciilifeform: zx2c4: as a matter of fact, is IS a conclusion i can jump to trivially. because your supposed 'person' is actually a nameless cockroach beneath my feet. because he is not in the wot, and thereby not distinguishable from the 90000..+ faux 'humans' usg manufactures on daily basis to further its psyops.
asciilifeform: specifically to ~prevent~ folx such as zx2c4 from hearing about e.g. phuctor, or other actual attempts at experiment, and if they hear -- from taking seriously. 'boeck did it in 2007' 'but did he publish a divisor?' 'uhhhh'
asciilifeform: zx2c4: the fraudulent content-free publications of supposed 'results' consisting of 'we broke 9000 keys last year, but no we won't say which keys and what the divisors are' are smoke screen, plain and simple.
asciilifeform: zx2c4: then i would ask why you decided to be an accomplice in usg coverup ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that the fella still labours under the impression that boeck et al are the 'authorities' , sitting in judgement of ~us~ , and that it is we who must somehow prove beyond reasonable doubt that they lie
asciilifeform: 3 is simply not a necessary hypothesis, it is very rare that the skepter has to be raised and something explicitly forbidden from above
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apparently when i speak, it comes out in martian, or sumthing, folx simply dun register it
asciilifeform: ftr prior to leaving BingoBoingostan, asciilifeform took the liberty of making a modest donation to BingoBoingo out of own pocket. because, imho, proper thing to do. and did not want to wait for board approval, would rather simply pay from pocket.
asciilifeform: lobbes: again, we are discussing permanent (and quite complex) solutions to a temporary problem. after current batch, it'll be 1-2 pops a week if we're lucky.
asciilifeform: certainly not 'impossible', mircea_popescu described the correct algo.
asciilifeform: i did not say 'impossible', just that i cannot rise to being able to promise 'i know exactly how, it'll take 3 days'
asciilifeform: if this is so -- then it should be possible to make it in a separate process that simply reads from db ( can write to own table, even, if it wants, so long as i do not have to know about it )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i simply went with your hypothesis, which is that the desired feature is truly implementable independently from the rest of the proggy.
asciilifeform: if the volunteered proggy makes sense to me, i will emplace it on dulap and say 'thank you'
asciilifeform: the whole notion of 'put into a table' implies ~100% of the requested functionality to be already present
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is the correct algo, and i drew it on own chalkboard last night, but my entire point is that i do not know with confidence how long it will take to implement and debug.
asciilifeform: the utter undebuggability and nonfitting-in-asciilifeform's-head of the pertinent components, results in this.
asciilifeform: i do not have a deedbot to throw into a dedicated channel, nor do i have a month in which to write a phuctor-compatible channel-talker.
asciilifeform: but i can definitely see the merits of 'only publish 1st factor'. problem is that this is even ~more~ complicated to implement than the earlier scheme.
asciilifeform: i sat down to write it yesterday and got mired in swamp.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is 100x more state complexity than i have now, is the point
asciilifeform: right now i am stumped re how to do it without massive rewrite of entire proggy,
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1808801 << jurov i'll take it in any format at all, or if you prefer to pump it into submit box, that is also good ( but would have to use Framedragger's converter and make it rfc2440 ).however, phuctoring is currently off until i figure out how to satisfy mircea_popescu's '1 per 30min' spec
asciilifeform: aa but to nail down tooling that ~doesnt get compiled in~ ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mod6 long ago nailed'em down, most thoroughly, amply discussed in log
asciilifeform: douchebag: pleeez consider at least attempting to read the trb materials at therealbitcoin.org ?
asciilifeform: here's a sample of convos b/w asciilifeform and heathens ( whom he knows irl, over yrs ) : 'why didja put it in UY, bw costs 4x moar than in usa and cia will still steal yer iron eventually' ; 'i have to do what!? to get server in the rack?!' etc
asciilifeform: unrelated to anything specific , has mircea_popescu or other folx contemplated a tmsr www search machine ? because, potentially now there is a place for it to live
asciilifeform: theoretically 'not even electronic' tho fuckers still collected 1 $ for every 1 $ as 'import deposit'
asciilifeform experimentally ordered , from shitazon, a qty of jumper cables for connection of FG to rockchippen, to be mailed to BingoBoingo , claims they will be received by may the 10th
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: confirm that nope, the 1 and only proper comp shop in montevideo, lacks any notion of such a thing
asciilifeform: speaking of which : ben_vulpes , you should have a qty of usb-ttl cables in your inventory, that came with your FG deal; plz mail a dozen of them to BingoBoingo ( with invoice from shitazon re their cost; even if he gets hit with import tax, should add up to maybe tenbux )
asciilifeform: ( will have to make a slightly complicated change and test locally, because current 'rss is simple sql query' doesn't rate-limit the output of 1-factor-N-moduli-affected events )
asciilifeform: right now the feed is entirely lowtech ( it is simply query of last 20 factors found )
asciilifeform: i haven't the first clue currently how to even implement the current trinque functionality ( hostname ) in the feed
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-03#1807803 << would be veerry entertaining to read a sample of this, if mircea_popescu has one handy
asciilifeform: debug of herr boeck, grade-a imperial политтехнолог ( how does that even go in engl ? )
asciilifeform: it is ~never the local end that complains
asciilifeform: mod6: see also the simpler example in the orig post , http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-March/000293.html .
asciilifeform: incidentally the little 'c101pa' comp , is nifty also on acct of having no exhaust pipe ( passively cooled strictly )
asciilifeform: picture, 20km of beach, not only empty of orcs but clean enuff to eat from.
asciilifeform computes that ' asciilifeform airlines ' costs 22.42 $ / kg . which is about 5x less than, e.g., u.s. post...
asciilifeform wonder how 'asciilifeform airlines' compares, costwise, with fedex, for same mass
asciilifeform: ( in re industrial application -- asciilifeform has found , while back, that FG might be one of the few electronic items which ~like~ elevated , within reason ( dun wanna melt the solder balls or warp the pcb, so no boiling lead plox ) temperatures... )
asciilifeform: and the 'tldr' of it is: if you download the patches/sigs in the example, and press to any particular one, you get a file 'trb', which, when put through included proggy 'txt2dir' results in a bitwise-correct (i.e. bit-identical to classical tree that we have for trb) press.
asciilifeform: mod6: considering that the example i gave ~is~ the totality of the trb tree, i'm a bit puzzled, what was it you tried ?
asciilifeform: ( oh hah apparently usgarchive has it, https://archive.org/details/Imperium_352 )
asciilifeform: in, say , 1950s, they had many fewer engineers (there was not this peculiar compulsion to conscript errything with a pulse into 'engineering' ) and the ones they had, designed autobahn ramps, there was all the employment they could use
asciilifeform: dunno that it even works in this direction; granary with busted walls is not 'to provide employment for 9000 mice', they just show up.
asciilifeform: they stave off the complexicollapse, same way as the fed pushed forward the monetary one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly you have a handwritten mpex.biz entry in /etc/hosts and points to different box ?
asciilifeform: !Q later tell ave1 ... and it is infuriatingly annoying that yer thing demands 'build' dir be deleted each time, starting the 3hrs from 0 for each attempt
asciilifeform: it's an off-the-shelf industrial power tool, wat. already has use. just, no good for 'from empty crystal' ic-makin'.
asciilifeform discounts wankage where 'each transistor takes 3min to etch', esp. from grant-eaters, as simple grantsmanship
asciilifeform: in the particular case -- i suspect simple failure of imagination.
asciilifeform: raw pcb feedstock, while not same as paper, is also pretty cheap. and if ic were produced via process as simple as pcb is produced, ic fabric would also cost similarly.
asciilifeform: ~expose~ in garage. where made -- less important. because specificity-of-diddling .
asciilifeform: ( of the compiler that you produced, that is, when it builds e.g. ffa )
asciilifeform: right, but ave1 did you actually get the complete equivalent-to-binary-kit-from-adacore-complete-with-gprbuild-etc made ?
asciilifeform: ( for the sake of thread-completeness, what would the ~alternative~ to this story look like? i suggest -- it'd be a process which does to ic fab what 'polaroid' process did to colour photography. find way of etching the circuit from prefab 'sandwich' without caustic baths, sputtering, etc... )
asciilifeform: picture, with access to e.g. boeing's , junkyard, a similar d00d could build something like the nazi 1-seat jet, with own hands also. but to describe it as 'garage-buildable jet' is rather chumpatronic spin imho.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-30#1806449 << this appears to be honest work, but if you look at what he actually did, and with what resources, the 'imponade' evaporates away -- he made a coupla-transistor ic , and with 'garage' filled with a princely collection of surplus industrial gear ( electron microscope, sputtering chamber, ~very~ high end optical microscopes, incl. the one he junkyard-wars'd into a lithography box ) ,
asciilifeform: accompanied by 'and here is what we instead spent on ONLINE JOURNALS!'
asciilifeform: how can removal of crud be 'complication' ?!
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it was a specific chumpatronic term used by koch et al
asciilifeform: esthlos: it was gonna, then barfed and abandoned mpi 4evah
asciilifeform: esthlos: imho absolutely not; i haven't built a linix box with swapping to disk enabled, in decade+ ( 'secure alloc' simply means 'marked unswappable' )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: afaik not! ( aside from the amply discussed sad phakt that building it requires a working gnat bin to be found somewhere else )
asciilifeform: douchebag: historically i've found that setting up a gentoo box to 'workstation' standard takes 2-3 wks. (depending , though less than you might think, on the speed of the comp.) fortunately 99+% of the work has already been done for you on that box.
asciilifeform: and this incl. ~all~ contents, incl compiler
asciilifeform: for instance, rebuilding world on the rockchip ( a quite modest comp ) takes about a day and a half
asciilifeform: ^ re the dd example, if it wasn't clear
asciilifeform: triumph?
asciilifeform: hey, was stamped 'entomology'!11
asciilifeform: d to matter, he can be slandered with impunity, troo or not
asciilifeform: incidentally , seems to me that this thread is rightfully part of the 40+ yr 'compilers vs hand asm' wars.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: conceivably you could use a subset-of-sql-used-in-mpwp on top of it.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform also suspects that the very problem of 'kill sql' is ill-posed, and that sane replacement would be a much humbler and lower-level thing that actually exposes the mathematical data structures -- e.g. btree -- in a programmable way, with no attempt at 'intelligence' and ~iron~ correspondence b/w what one writes and what the machine does )
asciilifeform: (rather than 'naive assumptions')
asciilifeform: if i calculate the actual algorithmic cost from first principles and it is asymptotically less than what postgres gives -- postgres is braindamaged, and there is no court of appeal
asciilifeform: ( 'how perverse the imposed model' is imho not a purely subjective statement -- and goes back to the 'orthogonality' discussion; if , as in the earlier thread, in your system adding a 'not' gate suddenly turns a o(n log n) op into a o(n^2), this is perverse, as there cannot be any mathematical justification for it, it is purely a result of braindamaged programmers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is troo of ~all~ programming systems; only variation is in just how perverse the imposed model
asciilifeform: physically impressive thing, almost small enuff to conceal under clothing
asciilifeform: ( there doesn't appear to be a self-eating compiler in'ere... )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if not too many cans, and compass points in just the right direction and planets aligned...
asciilifeform: because it looks like sql is simply a 1970s ms winblowz, infinite font of unspeakable horror
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought your algo involved a temporary table
asciilifeform: implementing sqltrons
asciilifeform: i.e. idiocy that is not in any way implicit in the mathematical structure of the underlying primitives (e.g. btree) but comes from agglomeration of programmers dropped as children
asciilifeform: LINE 1: ...ds) from factors) select * from moduli where idx not in tmp;
asciilifeform: ERROR: syntax error at or near "tmp"
asciilifeform: for completeness of picture, 'mods' is a column in factors, which contains indices of moduli (in 'moduli' table) that said factor is a factor of.
asciilifeform: is it possible to rewrite this so that postgres doesn't do the retarded thing that it evidently does ( this being, to compute the mods in the () , again and again FOR EVERY ROW in moduli )
asciilifeform: iirc same vendor also sells a slightly larger comp, a 'c201pa' iirc.
asciilifeform: really only interesting from a 'almost cheap enuff to throw away' in-print comp pov
asciilifeform: in other lullies, https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/367 >> 'Most of OpenSSL's constant-time code paths are driven by cryptosystem implementations enabling a dedicated flag at runtime. This process is perilous, with several examples emerging in the past few years of the flag either not being set or software defects directly mishandling the flag...' 'granularity issues due to word-size operands to the GCD function' etc
asciilifeform: and right nao he can't even decamp to , say, buenos aires for a few days, without losing his berth
asciilifeform: hanbot: in http://thewhet.net/2018/04/mp-wp-genesis some of the linx are broken ( have mysterious chars in'em )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is there a working mpex url ? i am standing snsa www / phuctor up today
asciilifeform: incidentally , knob won't 'break errything that isn't proper', troo champions of idiocy like gpg , will chug along without a working /dev/random ( iirc -- silently )
asciilifeform: trivially, the 'random.c' item linked earlier, simply cut it.
asciilifeform: recall, linus's kernel has no notion of random, it implements '/dev/random' as yet another sort of faux device, via module
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the current set of kernel modules, largely work in either 'module' or 'built-in' mode, depending on how compiled
asciilifeform: but this is incompatible with, say, a trinque-style kernel, that dun support loadable modules at all
asciilifeform: could implement module the obvious way : takes N args, each of which must at load time be a valid /dev/ttyxxxx
asciilifeform: the 2nd attempt at the crate went out on the 11th
asciilifeform: ( why not made originally ? pci adds 100x the complexity; ugly; expensive )
asciilifeform never implemented a fgtronic /dev/random replacement , quite deliberately, and iirc the reasons are in the log
asciilifeform: as soon as the smarter folx in the enemy camp get the notion that there's somewhere to defect to -- game over
asciilifeform: iirc before davis went fullbore barmy, he was gainfully employed , in the old-fashioned sense, wrote embedded os thing for -- iirc -- 'ticketmaster' co
asciilifeform: ( or did, back when he had a comp... )
asciilifeform: nono, recently there was a thread re actual lappy comp, with lcd etc , on same chipset
asciilifeform: i have nfi what this is used for, i still labour under impression that spam is -ev and a cargo cult
asciilifeform: gadget in question is ~= to the 'business end' of typical pnoje, 'baseband'. little bugger that takes a sim, and exposes a usb socket, from which one can dial, pickup/hangup, and pump pcm voice in/out. is all.
asciilifeform: theoretically should make for princely mpwp etc, also.
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu one time tried getting heathen hosters to install fg, and found none who would attempt it )
asciilifeform: moar recent boxen simply carry moar fritz in'em...

asciilifeform: btw zx2c4 , i must regret to inform you that the code you linked, is in fact NOT constant-time on several common architectures, because it makes use of machine MUL instruction ( gcc will compile a nonconstant-operanded '*' to e.g. IMUL on x86 )

asciilifeform: a 500k-loc ( ignoring even for a moment the far greater heft of 'modern' wonders ) c/cpp proggy is, for all intents and purposes, closed-source, even if every line is published, because it is quite impossible for anyone -- even author -- to get a proper grip on its behaviour space
asciilifeform: the other interesting bit ( tho naggum treated it better than i have the stamina to ) is how gcc set back the compiler field by, perhaps , decades, by playing the 'dun matter how complex, so long as theoretically 'open' ' game
asciilifeform: not small fry, either, but major vendors, philips, toshiba, hitachi, many others, who sell 100mils/chips/yr , for which the only compiler is... one of these
asciilifeform: next could ask, why call it champagne if it never saw france
asciilifeform: 0 connection with actual human intellectual tradition, complete innocence of philosophy/mathematics/history(of any period whatsoever)
asciilifeform: ave1: abolishing the standard library would make it quite painless to port gnat to anything to which gcc already has a backend. but as it is, the existence of crappla gnat doesn't help us any, the abi is completely different
asciilifeform: in other noose, 'rockchip' turns out is a completely usable and clean gentoo station. can be used as workstation also, if not in a hurry. ( running 100% asciilifeform-recipe gentoo, albeit not musltronic; running also self-built kernel; no eggogs, hiccups, good disk access times. the 1 item not yet built with own hands: uboot init thing )
asciilifeform: TomServo: lol, just how comically idiot was the parody-tmsr ? do they use dsa keys, kept in keybase ? their mp is bulgarian ? their linux -- rathead ?
asciilifeform: in other noose : 52 minutes for complete kernel build for rockchip, on itself.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's '80s acorn coffee 'nervously smokes in the corner' compared to this
asciilifeform: https://mindsarentmagic.org/2016/07/18/expressing-computable-ordinals-as-programs << stolen , with 0 attribution, from chaitin
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793393 << a quite astonishing amount of proggy, incl. items that cannot be done without unless you can make yer own ic ( errything from the lattice 'ice' proggy, to device drivers for ~100% of extant iron ) is imprisoned in shithub. nao however once it is sprung from this jail -- it is sprung.
asciilifeform: it is quite impossible to learn anything nontrivial if labouring under ' i am a great master and who needs this book-larnin rubbish'
asciilifeform: it is not even remotely 100% compatible with classical bash etc
asciilifeform: ( or at the very least, if not purged, every proggy that attempts to lean on usg.pki-ism should generate a log event )
asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler
asciilifeform: ( to be fair, not as if there was or is any working alternative. but -- swamp. )
asciilifeform: thing suffers the consequences of being part of the gcc backend swamp.
asciilifeform: sorta heart of empire item.
asciilifeform: ( that it gotta happen on another machine , is a give, given the impossibility of building a gnat without a working gnat )
asciilifeform: doesn't show any symptoms of approaching the thing in any way other than http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-01#1460013
asciilifeform: hey trinque , i was attempting a gentoo , and found that i cannot even extract a 2016 stage3 on a sane box because --xattrs-include='*.*' and my tar has nfi what xattrs are
asciilifeform: and, interestingly, the entire public net appears to be EMPTY of ANY discussion of a cure.
asciilifeform: being one of the few languages with actual docs, and of which i used a deliberately small subset -- oughta be pretty simple.
asciilifeform: i've temporarily moved it to #asciilifeform-test, douchebag , justforyou !
asciilifeform: 'We are seeing @YouTube employees being brought out with hands up!' << lol
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mircea_popescu : i learned today, that even shitazon ~will~ ship to BingoBoingoistan, BUT demands about 1 $ to every $ of item ordered , in 'import duty prepay'
asciilifeform: then will simply clone the gentoo for each new user ( or he can transmit a SD image , signed , and BingoBoingo will pump it in, plug in a board, and up an' running )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your algo as far as i can tell worx perfectly well. mine however is simpler. ( and also worx )
asciilifeform: this scheme would however lock you into not ever both moving and modifying a given file, if you want the diff to be compact
asciilifeform: it's correct but woefully incomplete, offers no compact way to represent movement.
asciilifeform: the algo is in http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20180331/asciilifeform_crystals.vpatch , or i could summarize for the impatient
asciilifeform: ( tldr : it's a demo of a guaranteed-cure for the infamous ' moving mpi dir ' misery . )
asciilifeform: any particular reason ? ( or does he simply despise folx whose names start with 'm', or wat )
