asciilifeform: all in terms of 'tragedy', 'oh noez, city folks are getting bottles of clean water when showing id, but illegal mexicans have no id, what sad'
asciilifeform: no mention, of course, of the dekulakized property owners
mircea_popescu: which one is this one ?
asciilifeform: (who are forced to keep paying for the unusable water, and may not legally sell the house)
asciilifeform: flint, mi.
mod6: any one have any strong feelings on googletest & googlemock as a comprehensive testing framework for trb ?
asciilifeform: mod6: nfi. what even is this
asciilifeform: i thought we had 313337 perl scriptz or somesuch, for test
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't understand this, so flint been using lead pipes like... all places ever. what is the issue ?
mod6: well, i built some automated tests in cucumber/perl for V. but i'm saying for bitcoind itself.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc it wasn't only lead, but various bacteria, obvious stink, every possible 'don't even wash your hands with this, much less drink' indicator imaginable
mod6: and it has a mock framework that can be utilized as well, and this could be really powerful.
asciilifeform: so what i was thinking is,
mircea_popescu: mod6 im unfamiliar. is it a cloud service thing ?
asciilifeform: usg and local microusglets have no intention of collecting any less tax as infrastructure vanishes
mircea_popescu: or anyway, try and explain as best as possible the externalities here ?
mod6: i might have to go on a wild goose chase with this some time, post release when I have more time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doh. tax is set by the cattle ability to pay, nothing else. same tax is collected in new york and bahrein or w/e.
asciilifeform: whereas there is a widespread delusion in usa, that tax is somehow payment for services rendered
assbot: GitHub - google/googletest: Google Test ... ( http://bit.ly/1Sgg51s )
asciilifeform: the flint thing is an elegant illustration of reality, re: this.
asciilifeform: they are degenerating literally to the level of inca palace economy
asciilifeform: show up at city hall, get drinkable water. if not, not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform part of the democratic lie. that "tax is payment" , that "law is agreement", that "authority is legitimate" etc.
mod6: anyway, boost has its own unit testing abilities, which is what the current test are built with -- the allure of a mock framework here though, could be helpful.
mircea_popescu: they all flow in the same manner.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i will confes i am prejudiced against it just for having google in its name.
mircea_popescu: which is probably the contrary result to what they intended.
mod6: ok.
mircea_popescu: so basically it's a c++ test framework.
mircea_popescu: could be useful.
mod6: what if there was a different mock framework that wasn't
mircea_popescu: mod6 understand, i'm not going to necessarily act on my prejudices. just being upfront.
mod6: sure.
mod6: anyway, this is all food for thought; planting a seed. we'll have to revisit this later.
mircea_popescu: In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by the following notable projects: The Chromium projects (behind the Chrome browser and Chrome OS). The LLVM compiler. Protocol Buffers, Google's data interchange format. The OpenCV computer vision library.
mircea_popescu: so basically, it IS definitionally better than the boost suite.
mircea_popescu: "Linux Requirements These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source package (as described below):
mircea_popescu: GNU-compatible Make or gmake POSIX-standard shell POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h) A C++98-standard-compliant compiler"
mircea_popescu: i dun see a problem there.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you have any idea re this thing ?
asciilifeform: why is this needed, again ?
mod6: we were just discussing it re eulora.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tests are the best thing there is.
mod6: i wasn't too clued on C++ testing frameworks. but mockito is pretty helpful with stuff, so something similar in C++ space would be nice.
mircea_popescu: tests are actually better than code.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mno. not-making-bugs is the best thing there is.
asciilifeform: with corrections 2nd best
mircea_popescu: thats a thing that isn't.
asciilifeform: testing - 100th place.
mircea_popescu: let's not mix categories.
mod6: so to that point, it is nice to run a regression suite when any changes are made.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the principle is sound. i have nfi as to the choice, but the principle is sound.
mod6: ok, thanks to you both. sorry for the diversion here, we can discuss in the future.
asciilifeform: one tricky bit is that trb is a ~system~
asciilifeform: and much of the undesired behaviour we've seen so far occurs only as part of the system
asciilifeform: rather than malfunction/misdesign of any particular component
mircea_popescu: quite, yes.
asciilifeform: and moreover, it cannot be tested meaningfully except in live fire
mircea_popescu: you can not know what can be tested meaningfully until after you have done so.
asciilifeform: i've experimented with tcp replay for testing
asciilifeform: this might be a productive approach for trb
mircea_popescu: the problem is "meaningfully" is a very slippery term. shit can be quite meaningful to humans.

mircea_popescu: i suspect it's actually better to pick a one thing and get everyone to use that.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I asked mod6 if he knew of some good testing tools for cpp as I am not up to date with the landscape on that for cpp
mircea_popescu: i thought you suggested it maybe.
mod6: diana_coman had one in mind that was super lightweight, looked ok for doing assertions.
mod6: just started diving into what's out there for C++ that has a bit more meat to it.
mod6: i think i'll have to drive out a poc of one of these frameworks at some point. not now though, too much other stuff to get done first.
mircea_popescu: it's a reasonable thing for the short to mid term.
mircea_popescu: having a trb-test suite is a good move, because even if dissidence is a b-a tradition, nevertheless it allows a common basis to make communication useful.
diana_coman: fwiw the google thing looked all right to me re features, but I wasn't too sure re who made it, lol
diana_coman: need to look into it more
mircea_popescu: i suspect the llvm crew.
mircea_popescu: prolly grew out of their buffers thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the other little boojum is that we don't actually know a known-good output for most of the thing.
asciilifeform: nor what failures to test for.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but this is not a counterarghumnet, on the contrary. testing suite may help there too.
mod6: the adventure must begin somewhere :]
asciilifeform: incidentally, here is a very painful test i've contemplated
asciilifeform: on an isolated lan, place trb nodes, and break all known blocks into tx,
asciilifeform: then let them get re-mined
mircea_popescu: ahahaha these fuctards. moved water intake from lake to river with no further precautions, on old lead lines! HOLY SHIT. there is extant roman text as to the idiocy of this move.
mircea_popescu: this is utterly what the dawn of civilisaiton looks like. next, nobody could have predicted pissing on the electric fence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is actually not something that can be done anymore i fear. mining criteria changed ~3 times
asciilifeform: phun phakt - coastal usaschwitz inmates regard the inlands as 'flyover', a sort of built-in zimbabwe, and give very little fuck re: what happens there
mircea_popescu: "A class-action lawsuit alleges the state Department of Environmental Quality didn't treat the water for corrosion, in accordance with federal law, and because so many service lines to Flint are made of lead, the noxious element leached into the water of the city's homes."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah and precisely the point, i would like to learn ~what~ cannot be done any more
mircea_popescu: bejesus.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everything can still be done. the poiint is that a hole large enough to fit the earlier blocks will result in a hole too large today, that'd admit things that won't get mined.
mircea_popescu: the thread narrowed.
asciilifeform: how would it admit anything other than the test tx pool made from smashed real-world blocks ?
asciilifeform: which are known to have been mined in reality
mircea_popescu: der, s-high, there's a list.
mircea_popescu: the fact that they were mined in the past is no guarantee they would be mined today
asciilifeform: now this is true
asciilifeform: but in point of fact, miners being retarded does not mean the protocol has changed.
mircea_popescu: sure. but tests are tests.
mircea_popescu: "It isn't easy to build a large general-purpose quantum computer, but many people publicly working on it seem to think that they'll be successful next decade. Maybe there will be serious obstacles that slow down or stop this success, but there's clearly a serious risk to RSA and ECC, and it isn't sensible risk management to pretend that the problem doesn't exist."
mircea_popescu: fucking bullshit omfg. i am not PRETENDING the problem doesn't exist. the problem does factually not exist.
mircea_popescu: what fucking problem ?
mircea_popescu: MIT idiots were going to be successful next decade every decade since 1950. then "winter" "happened" because totally.
mircea_popescu: and they'll have the unmitigated audacity to call it "the quantum winter" as opposed to "the just desserts after a decade of fraudulent pseudoscientific claims" and/or "what happens when ponzi schemes deflate"
mircea_popescu: i expect there's going to be a "climatology winter" too starting next year, as opposed to "we lied for pay and after that the employer had no further use of lying pseudoscientists".
asciilifeform: already started, no ?
asciilifeform: (per yesterday's log)
mircea_popescu: "Lattice-based cryptography is another important candidate for post-quantum public-key cryptography, and is the main topic of this blog post. The main practical reason to consider lattice-based encryption rather than code-based encryption is that lattice-based systems advertise much smaller public keys." << WRONG.
mircea_popescu: small public key = you lose. small block = you lose. quickly computable = you lose.
mircea_popescu: get with the motherfucking program, bunch of snake oil salesmen.
asciilifeform: plus the whole climatology thing was a misguided excercise - the reich for some reason thought people would happily deindustrialize and starve out of religious fervor, but then understood that bayonet is good enough
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quite yes
mircea_popescu: neither fervor nor bayonet. "people", if you can call english speakers that, will industrialize as they do : out of pompous laziness. that's how it always goes.
mircea_popescu: what color lipstick you put on that pig - vanitas vanitatum.
asciilifeform: deindustrialize.
mircea_popescu: industrialization is driven on the backs of starving slave/iobagi, and deindustrialization is driven by lazy, entitled idiots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah it's what i meant.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 67144 @ 0.0005707 = 38.3191 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: exact equivalent of the anabolic/catabolic processes in the human body. if there aren't people falling over in the street out of sheer hunger as an unremarkable phenomenon, there's no industrialization afoot. if there aren't any "self-betterment" dudes moving about, there's no dezindustrialization occurring.
mircea_popescu: re other thread : the only point of interest in lattice stuff would be homomorphisms. which don't work yet.
asciilifeform: actually mega-nonsecret, it sorta does work
asciilifeform: i have it right here at rupture farms
asciilifeform: not ~UNIVERSAL~, and provably
asciilifeform: but for 'certain values of works' - worx.
mircea_popescu: well kinda what i mean by doesn't work : "works for some values of work"
mircea_popescu: if i meant does not work at all i would make no mention whatever.
asciilifeform: it is provably not doable for arbitrary turing tape.
asciilifeform: back to earlier's thread, i am willing to pascal's wager on shor's algo SO LONG AS it costs me nothing.
asciilifeform: possibly unlike mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: even going under that : afaik not yet usable in crypto
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform things may cost you nothing, that is your privilege. things always cost me something, because of my peculiar relationship with the fucking future.
asciilifeform: what does using multiple SANELY INDEPENDENT cipherators cost mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: alowing the possibility that this scam is actually worth taking seriously costs the people who follow what i say whatever it may cost them.
asciilifeform: srsly, if there is one mega-lesson mircea_popescu taught me, it is that by DEMANDING sanity, you will get it
mircea_popescu: works for pussy, also.
mircea_popescu: the two are much closelier related than people generally wish to accept.
asciilifeform: incidentally, to pick up a thread from last night, one useful lemma re: chaining is,
asciilifeform: have multiple branches of possible inner cipher at every level
asciilifeform: enemy does not know which follows.
mircea_popescu: yes. always large block to small ; always few to many options.
mircea_popescu: branch it out like a tree.
mircea_popescu: (this reduces to what the idiots do with their s boxes incidentally)
mircea_popescu: if a very ugly degenerate form.
asciilifeform: this is really a specificity-of-diddling theorem application.
asciilifeform: eliminate things enemy may rely on.
mircea_popescu: so as you can no doubt follow, asciilifeform from the political considerations discussed it follows that while i don't allow for the possibility of "quantum computer", i don't disallow your implementing a scheme which would be deemed (by idiots) as "quantum resistant".
mircea_popescu: check out how complicated things get.
asciilifeform: i can even see the dirigle algebra involved here !
asciilifeform: *dirigible

asciilifeform: scroll to 'deceptive article'
mircea_popescu: "Since most conventional block ciphers are in fact product ciphers, they testify to the worth of multiple encryption, even with weak internal ciphering functions."
mircea_popescu: exactly what we were saying above re s boxes
asciilifeform: but i'm blown away by the maurer & massey thing
asciilifeform: ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/crypto/publications/MauMas93a.pdf << found it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that that particular item informs anything.
mircea_popescu: i for instance had never read it / wouldn't care to now.
asciilifeform: psychiatric, not mathematical.
asciilifeform: strictly for entomologists !
mircea_popescu: yeah but dunno.
asciilifeform: the paper is pretty tame, actually
asciilifeform: not sure why he picked it up as disinfo
mircea_popescu: no idea.
asciilifeform: arrives at howlingly obvious conclusion.
asciilifeform: (incidentally, the problem of an inner cipher introducing known-plaintextisms is solved routinely by splitting the payload into xor-able halves, using rng, and enciphering each ~half~ with different cipher, rather than box-in-box composition)
asciilifeform: ^ in this case, enemy actually must break both ciphers ~independently~
asciilifeform: he cannot use knownplaintextisms created by one, to help in the other
mircea_popescu: there are some schemes which, if the result is split, lose strength
asciilifeform: not by xor
asciilifeform: again the motherfucking xor lemma
asciilifeform: so hard to grasp ?
asciilifeform: if i give you one half of a xor pair, it tells you ~nothing~ about the plaintext...
asciilifeform: and you can use shamir's split algo for n>2
asciilifeform: if you want >2 pieces.
mircea_popescu: i misread the split.
asciilifeform: what this gambit ~does~ cost, is weight
asciilifeform: you get 2x the ciphertext bitz.
mircea_popescu: look at the usual case : we exchange 1kb messages.
asciilifeform: plus whatever overhead from the individual cipherators.
mircea_popescu: if the increase is 100x this impacts nothing
mircea_popescu: similarly with the key. so large key can't be sent over the wire. bwahahahaha mkay.
mircea_popescu: (for the future, the ~ONLY way to get a key would be to ask trusted third party for it. such as hey x you know y ? send me his key!)
mircea_popescu: just like with chicks and their phone numbers.
asciilifeform: this is harmless, but to rely on the enemy having difficulty getting your pubkey is lunacy
mircea_popescu: not at all.
mircea_popescu: merely, that the "key over the wire in the jungle" aspect need not be accounted for.
asciilifeform: ah this - yes
mircea_popescu: getting rid of one of the most idiotic constraints people-who-are-not-me put on cipher design
asciilifeform: even with ip-over-dead-goat, 1MB key is what, a few min.
mircea_popescu: quite. now 1mb IS probably too large to be useful (unless actual mathematical need/benefit for it is shown)
mircea_popescu: but kbytes, puhleaze./
mircea_popescu: so i have to leave pc overnight / rng on for ten minutes to make a key ? big whoop, i make a key a year if that, and i'm an intensive user.
asciilifeform: one demonstrable benefit is that it multiplies the cost of brute force.
asciilifeform: pretty much for free.

mircea_popescu: just like that, of the crooked timber and all that.
asciilifeform: for whatever timber - arithmetic is the straightest saw we've got.

asciilifeform: xor lemma is probably the closest thing we have to a fundamental theorem in crypto

mircea_popescu: (unlike peano, presburger is actually decidable. but it has no multiplication.
asciilifeform: i wil eat six airplanes before i go through this proof.
mircea_popescu: however - that decidability has a cost, and the cost is > exponential.
mircea_popescu: as a curio - this was a very promising field just about the time of mit ai being a very promising field
mircea_popescu: just like it - ALSO disappeared with virtually no trace.

mircea_popescu: i think it's a lot more like "look, befouled real estate"
mircea_popescu: "copper sulphate and planks with nails, clean this shit out"
asciilifeform: the 'cleaners' are 100% catabolic.
asciilifeform: left alone, they could not make even a goat.
mircea_popescu: the cleaners are how you even have the word algorithm.
asciilifeform: ahaha l0l no.
asciilifeform: no more than modern egypt built the pyramids.
mircea_popescu: well i guess this point shall be verified in practice huh.
mircea_popescu: there's no stopping the cleansing, i dun think.
asciilifeform: limonov understood in '92
asciilifeform: the western mental asylum can do many things to many people, but cannot make them ~want to live~
asciilifeform: even orwell in '43 essay understood why, e.g., hitler is appealing vs the insipid fossil civilization orwell inhabited
asciilifeform: and germany was an only slightly better-looking horse at that glue factory, even.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey what's all the rumour of a euro resistance movement ? disinfo ?

mircea_popescu: no idea.
mircea_popescu: but as best i can discern, any sort of "resistance movement" would be in the sense of "we'll do the raping and pillaging ourselves, who are these foreign derps" rather than "we'll defend the shithole".
mircea_popescu: so only very technically a "resistance", more like a first-to-kick-the-loser competition.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron wassat ?
danielpbarron: idk i found it on twatter
mircea_popescu: looks like some sort of "happening" or w/e.
