Tomiii: BingoBoingo: if you can do it with bitcoin privatekeys, why not GPG keys?
BingoBoingo: Very different kinds of math involved
Tomiii: BingoBoingo: people said the same thing about determinstic wallets in bitcoin (at first), but now they are pretty popular
BingoBoingo: Generating GPG keys that don't suck is hard because RSA encryption is decrypted by division. Too easy to divide, falls. ECDSA in Bitcoin gets more breathing room for now because not as straight forward.
Tomiii: pretty funny that PGP is lagging behind bitcoin, when it had like 30-year head-start
BingoBoingo: is completley different types of math. Factoring versus elliptics curves involving lines and shit.
BingoBoingo: If one your your GPG key's factors is a low prime like 17 or 23, you're fucked.

asciilifeform: did not see any reason to read beyond this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lemme say this to you :
mircea_popescu: "pătratul lungimii ipotenuzei este egal cu suma pătratelor catetelor"
mircea_popescu: what did i say ?
asciilifeform: pythagor ?
asciilifeform: and yes, we know that it worked for the greeks.
mircea_popescu: now what's the symbol for hypotenuse ? or do we not know this exists.
asciilifeform: they were not trying to build 5,000-story towers!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you will note THEY ALSO DID NOT NEED TO.
asciilifeform: no symbol because the greeks were not averse to actually drawing the triangle.
asciilifeform: but go and draw a hilbert space.
mircea_popescu: don't idly suppose you're better than the greeks just because you have more maggots eating more cans of spam.
asciilifeform: me - no. gauss - motherfucking yes.
mircea_popescu: gauss wrote his shit out. review the notes.
mircea_popescu: so did newton. so did all of them. so did fucking feynman which is WHY youadmire him
mircea_popescu: not coincidental to the admiration, but integral.
asciilifeform: feynman used standard mathematical notation.
asciilifeform: and yes, explained the basics, he was a teacher !
mircea_popescu: he reads it out half the fucking time
asciilifeform: but note that he did not try 'let's use only ascii for all of mathematics'
mircea_popescu: the difference between a thinking man and a hack is that a hack goes "hey, i can't explain this without a blackboard"
mircea_popescu: he did, yes, but i won't count it because at his time (40s) he had no other options.
asciilifeform: he had the option of typesetting on a 'selectric' and having that go straight to press
mircea_popescu: his work, on the machines, is actually quite lispy. in the ONLY UPPERCASE EXISTS sense of lispy
asciilifeform: as many poor profs did
mircea_popescu: he was an actual researcher.
mircea_popescu: had to run the machines to do things.
asciilifeform: incidentally, serious researchers often ended up doing the selectric-to-web-press thing, on account of sheer hurry
asciilifeform: BUT if the product was any good, it always got redone and typeset properly
asciilifeform: i wouldn't buy an ascii-art edition of feynman.
mircea_popescu: so let it be said : that alphabet can NAME way more things than your symbolics can ever dream to represent. and for that matter, that from the multi-millenarian history of world culture, alphabetic notation does indeed convey richer, more numerous ideas in less space than hyeroglypghics do. which is why we fucked the chinese, and why egypt is muslim now.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> BUT if the product was any good, it always got redone and typeset properly << "if the product were any good it was always mass produced". hurr.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: alphabet != 26 idiot letters
asciilifeform: and most cultures were mathematically zeroes.
asciilifeform: until some folks broke free of the must-verbalize crapolade.
mircea_popescu: looky : neither the egyptians nor the greeks were mathematically zeroes.
mircea_popescu: the alphabetic greeks overtook the hyeroglyphic egyptioans. for this reason and this alone.
mircea_popescu: mujch in the manner europe overtook china.
asciilifeform: i get it, there is a fashion in the derp army of going around and 'i'm a visual thinker!11111'. this changes nothing. there are napoleons in your local loony bin, does not change the historic fact of napoleon.
mircea_popescu: only 2000 years earlier.
mircea_popescu: but so far we doth not even agree on the historical facts
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neither had effective long division.
mircea_popescu: the greeks had pi.
asciilifeform: ~on account of notation~, yes.
mircea_popescu: the egyptians had... unusable pi.
asciilifeform: go sail atlantic with pi.
mircea_popescu: long division bitch!
mircea_popescu: words have meanings!
mircea_popescu: even if symbols don't.
asciilifeform bbl, must meet the party's five-year plan
mircea_popescu: "the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the catheti", for the curious. kids the world over (in those places with an actual culture, as opposed to hunter-gatherer societies of primitives) actually learn this by heart, and it's one of the first steps on the stair they ever meet.

mircea_popescu: let's consider the following bit of clisp guts :
mircea_popescu: 2.2.1 Bad Declarations
mircea_popescu: This example is a mistake that is easy to make. The programmer here did not declare his arrays as fully as he could have. Therefore, each array access was about as slow as a function call when it should have been a few instructions. The original declaration was as follows:
mircea_popescu: (proclaim '(type (array fixnum *) *ar1* *ar2* *ar3*))
mircea_popescu: The three arrays happen to be of fixed size, which is reflected in the following correct declaration:
mircea_popescu: (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4)) *ar1*))
mircea_popescu: (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4 4)) *ar2*))
mircea_popescu: (proclaim '(type (simple-array fixnum (4 4 4)) *ar3*))

mircea_popescu: what's wrong with (a,b ; c,d) ?
ascii_butugychag: that they are rows? of an inherently spatial thing ?
ascii_butugychag: might represent, e.g., pixels ?
trinque: can't write matrix multiplication in lisp eh?
mircea_popescu: nope, can't be done.
ascii_butugychag: can write in morse if you like
ascii_butugychag: the thread concerned THINKING
ascii_butugychag: as in, preferred format for manipulation.
trinque: as for music I prefer a tracker, or yes, writing code to produce it
ascii_butugychag: trinque: and your tracker is all-ascii, and runs on 'do, ra, mi' in paragraph form ?
jurov: well, i thought thread concerns spreading of information and definition of alphabet
ascii_butugychag: jurov: it was originally about 'whether maths require a graphics terminal'
mircea_popescu: no, it was whether we'll be supporting anything but ascii
ascii_butugychag: and the 'pdf must die and not replaced with anything like it' thing
ascii_butugychag: procrustean lunacy
ascii_butugychag: i am keeping my legs AND my head tyvm
jurov: oh, that it very much does for 99 out of 100 thinkers
jurov: that had math analysis lectures usign blackboard
jurov: if math analysis was taught in lisp, that would maybe not be the case

assbot: Logged on 12-01-2016 23:01:59; jurov: actually, having clear transcription rules between math symbols <-> plain english would be spiffy
mircea_popescu: currently what alf counts as "notation" for math is roughly speaking a sort of c++
mircea_popescu: "kinda most of the stuff except what we don't understand"
ascii_butugychag: it is imperfect
ascii_butugychag: but it beats FUCKING WORDS
mircea_popescu: no, it is not "imperfect". it is structurally broken
mircea_popescu: and the argument that it "beats words" is not unlike the argument that clang "beats lisp" because "apple ipad!!11"

ascii_butugychag: just that i operate using an idea of meaning that lets me make things happen, occasionally, rather than having to stay in bed because we have not actually discovered REAL MEANING yet
mircea_popescu: just like the c++ folks!

jurov: mircea_popescu with all your hate of english why do you suddenly deem it fit to express math concepts unadorned?
mircea_popescu: english is just broken romanian ie latin.
mircea_popescu: for some reason most of my barbarian friends seem to prefer it!
ascii_butugychag: jurov: my understanding is that mircea_popescu is so allergic to 'visual thinker'-ism that he barfs just thinking about any such thing being intrinsic to some aspect of whatever discipline
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu prolly writes his electrical schematics as netlists every time, etc
ascii_butugychag: specifies plans for a building using words, like kind solomon
mircea_popescu: not even. it's just that i'm so allergic to "dynamically linked" bullshit that i barf at the very notion of a computing system that might need "expansions" because people don't want ot learn to read and write
ascii_butugychag: why does it 'need expansions' ?
mircea_popescu: do you understand that your computer is broken by design for as long as you allow the conceptual possibility of adding symbols ?
ascii_butugychag: what's wrong with programmatic fonts ?
mircea_popescu: nothing, as long as you don't expect me to run the program
mircea_popescu: ie, they degrade gracefully.
mircea_popescu: which is what started this entire discussion : pdf does not degrade gracefully
mircea_popescu: and as such fucking burn it.

ascii_butugychag: for some reason i wonder if mircea_popescu has watched 'ascii starwars'
mircea_popescu: i have an ascii art plugin for mah video player ?
ascii_butugychag: does it convey the complete 'meaning of starwars' ?
mircea_popescu: which yes, i sometimes watch.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: iirc 'mplayer' does, aha
mircea_popescu: oh, that's not a challenge.
mircea_popescu: the complete meaning of star warsa can be conveyed in two lines.
mircea_popescu: ~= equivalent to all the rest of the us pulp, call it hubbard and send it home.
mircea_popescu: as long as what we do is we take ((1,2),(2,3)) and either print it as such or else draw it for your benefit as seen there, if you run a plug in everyone's happy.
jurov: how is adding symbols different from you taking a word and redefining it?
jurov: you abhor former, yet do latter often
mircea_popescu: if you expect to have a [ that scales to lines, we got a problem. there's not going to be any 244/245/179 bs
mircea_popescu: jurov the later is actually part of the graph. i can not meaningfully search for a motherfucking dot.
mircea_popescu: or for his dumbass arrows in the example given yest.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i did say many times that a canonical representation of whatever is, rightfully, sexpr
mircea_popescu: so then we basically are happy with an alphabet of ~100 ish characters and that's that.
jurov: well if I have to explore context what a word mean, well, then it is C++ too
ascii_butugychag: but somehow this turned into 'let's do maths as euclid did, with WORDZ!111'
mircea_popescu: jurov there's a difference between a proper existing ast, such as we have with words, unless we're idiots ; and a random gcc barf product.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag well cuz you paniced and lost it.
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, english does NOT guarantee you a sane (disambiguated) AST.
ascii_butugychag: i thought this was known to all.
mircea_popescu: in myhands it does.
jurov: even with best affort of the author, ast in the recipients varies
jurov: *effort
mircea_popescu: that's the luser's problem.
jurov: for spoken english
jurov: lol
mircea_popescu: but be all this as it may, for as long as gossipd.pop | print yields ((1,2),(2,3)) for me while gossipd.pop | mathgraph yields whatever ascii wants it to yield, we're happy.
jurov: ascii_butugychag: you see, quaternions are not in his wot and it's problem of the lusers who use it
ascii_butugychag: actually english speakers are so habituated to this that they have problems with ANY attempt at 'english-parsing machine'
ascii_butugychag: see the horrors in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=568 for instance
assbot: Loper OS » Why Hypercard Had to Die ... ( http://bit.ly/1U578pU )
ascii_butugychag: jurov: if this were actually so, and he were consistent about 'in wot', would have to avoid, e.g., aircraft with computerized autopilot
jurov: he surely tries
ascii_butugychag: and eulora
ascii_butugychag: with the quaternionic gpu
mircea_popescu: you don't have to run the graphical client! for all it cares you can talk to it by hand.
ascii_butugychag: but do you ?
mircea_popescu: looky : run diana_coman's bot, turn of the gfx altogether, it's 100% bash
ascii_butugychag: so the thing gracefully degrades to a text MUD? neato.
mircea_popescu: not by any means all my doing. but the design is sane and yes, it does. she's currently making a map of resources in practically this.
ascii_butugychag: very spiffy
ascii_butugychag always thought adventure games oughta work like this.
mircea_popescu: makes two of us.
mircea_popescu: and im not saying the gfx add-on is not helpful or w/e. but also not fucking mandatory.

mircea_popescu: you playeds fucking rogue.
ascii_butugychag: 'advent' even !
mircea_popescu: in fact, the eulora experience is very much in line with a lengthy personal history whereby very smart, well intentioned, patient people trying to cater to my shockingly insane whims and whines end up with exceptionally well crafted items that stand proudly on their own.

phf: gabriel_laddel: i was drunk when answering you last time. i like the idea of a self-contained lisp system with ux built on top of xproto/xlib/zen, because can still attach c program outputs, and stream own output to unix systems proper. i've been building my own tools to be essentially a combination of cmucl repl, that spawn xlib windows on demand. not sure if you know but x is essentially a binary network protocol (described in
phf: variations of "X Window System Protocol" documents), with xlib being its C implementation. core protocol is pretty simple, but problems start with protocol extensions of various levels of retardation (like xinerama, etc.)
phf: how xserver talks to hardware is entirely outside the scope of protocol, since server accepts the xproto packets and then does rendering
phf: main problem with zen right now is that it does rendering, but it uses opengl (glx specifically) as the framebuffer. i've not looked at the implementation bits, but i assume that it goes beyond simple blit, so you might be able to retarget it to other opengl, but not necessarily straight to framebuffer, without implementing your own blit level rendering primitives
phf: also zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox. in fact last time i checked it didn't support xrander, which is an old image composition extension that might as well be standard
phf: !up gabriel_laddel
gabriel_laddel: "i've been building my own tools to be essentially a combination of cmucl repl, that spawn xlib windows on demand" << xlib windows that display what exactly? Large GUIs? Renderings of novel structures?
phf: gabriel_laddel: gnuplot, xfoil kind of output, i.e. batch graphic, or anything that requires input with a mouse
phf: i know you do clim, but running clim through zen is essentially simultaneously trying to debug two 70% speed/coverage projects. even simple handwritten xlib proggies don't work out of the box.
mats: oh cads
mats: we were almost finalized on a small project where he'd design a widget and send me 3d prints of the prototype
mats: and then he disappeared forever (I didn't render any payment, though)
mats: ;;seen cads
gribble: cads was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 40 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 22 minutes, and 17 seconds ago: <cads> being Professor Cads in an underground university
gabriel_laddel: phf: "because can still attach c program outputs" + "zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox". We have CLIM irc, a listener (repl), an editor, dired + other. I don't particularly want to run c programs. You'd just end up reinventing CLIM anyways after you notice that "gee, it would be nice to have draggable crossbars in my GUI and geometry".
gabriel_laddel: phf: yes, debugging CLIM + zen at the same time is going to suck, but debugging CLIM + xlib sucks, and I have not yet compared the two to find out which is worse.
gabriel_laddel: It seems like what you're getting at is that the correct order of affairs is to tackle zen first, and then CLIM?
mircea_popescu: phf there is no native lisp gfx engine ?
gabriel_laddel: Heh, define native.
mircea_popescu: "opengl implemented in lisp"
gabriel_laddel: No such thing.
mircea_popescu: ahahahaahah what
mircea_popescu: why the fuck not ?
mircea_popescu: no, let me rephrase that.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: have you tried reading the OpenGL spec?
mircea_popescu: why not back in 1999 when opengl was not even taking over yet ?
mircea_popescu: im not the one that loves lisp.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i know.
phf: gabriel_laddel: i'm saying that it's only worthwhile to bring in zen if you want to ultimately do x11 support for foreign code. right now your problem is clim+xlib, you want your problem to be clim+xlib+zen+cl-opengl+glx. if the ultimate goal is drop x, then might as well try and retarget clim to framebuffer. the two (adding zen and framebuffer clim) or at 100% identical in the amount of effort
mircea_popescu: nevertheless...
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: they did. Symbolics.
gabriel_laddel: S-GRAPHICS
mircea_popescu: that wasn't opengl
gabriel_laddel: phf: ah.
gabriel_laddel: phf: Thanks.
phf: mircea_popescu: i think that there's a bunch of people trying to chuck moore their way out of "modern computing" here, as such there's not native anything
mircea_popescu: incidentally if things are this fucked up, the correct avenue would probably be to define a full gfx stack
phf: *people here
mircea_popescu: phf you mean in lisp ? or what here ?
phf: mircea_popescu: here as in in #b-a
mircea_popescu: i dun follow.
mircea_popescu: the lisp power rangers failed to lead the wave in implementing opengl correctly twenty years ago

mircea_popescu: what, all through 1995 - 2005 everyone "in lisp" sat around on their ass passing back and forth stories of how cool moon was in the 70s and how great gabriel's hairdo looks ?
phf: everything talks to xlib, win32, carbon/cocoa and on top of that to opengl, directx. there are parts of that stack implemented in lisp (either as clients or as hosts). there's no opengl in lisp, there's opengl client in lisp. there's both xlib client and server in lisp, etc. there's not enough lisp code to run the whole graphics stack from the lisp machine to the video card end to end
mircea_popescu: because lisp is so empowering and shit ?
phf: mircea_popescu: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?
mircea_popescu: yeah well... this logic is broken. so lisp is good because, and i quote, "Because Lisp, as a tool, is to the mind as the lever is to the arm. It amplifies your power and enables you to embark on projects beyond the scope of lesser languages like C. Writing in C is like building a mosaic out of lentils using a tweezer and glue. Lisp is like wielding an air gun with power and precision. It opens out whole kingdoms
mircea_popescu: shut to other programmers."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile... there is an implementation of particularly gnarly in c, but not in lisp.
mircea_popescu: are we in a singularity ?
mircea_popescu: and nobody seems to rub the lispers' face in this, either. what, there's some sort of chivalrous convention i don't know about going on ?
phf: mircea_popescu: oh they do, that's a common argument
mircea_popescu: "take your propeller-hat, your paranthesis and your spielhosen away from here and come back when you have a fully native gfx stack."
mircea_popescu: a ? i guess teh summarizer's been sparing me.
mircea_popescu: but what's the problem, anyway ? seems like this is an exact match for the argued strengths of lisp.
mircea_popescu: (note that i'm not discussing performance. i'm not going hey, why doesn't lisp-gl push out 2x the fps of directx in 2001. just, it should be abel to do it, at all.)
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: After SMBX died CL had to be re-implemented.
mircea_popescu: i can readily understand why the ~performance~ issue is a true quagmire.
gabriel_laddel: non-CL lispers by-and-large, fail to understand why they're using lisp at all.
mircea_popescu: how do you mean ?
gabriel_laddel: Some 'lisper' who 'gets it' will implement a 'lisp' on top of another system and declare that "for such and such political/business reasons, the system we're basing our lisp on won't change its foundations, and therefore we're safe to write code on top of it"
gabriel_laddel: Then, inevitably, the foundations change.
gabriel_laddel: No lisper to date has produced a distro that DOES NOT CHANGE so one may use it as a platform for application development. Lisp solves a well-specified set of problems - ensuring that your algol reproducibly builds is not one of them.
gabriel_laddel: As for why a lisper didn't write his own OS from ASM? Well, you've read Stan's blog.
