needhelpwithnode: thanks bingo bongo
needhelpwithnode: I have a story to share with you big whales
mod6: ok
needhelpwithnode: basically i was lonely and was looking to have some human affection/love. So going back to home i converted an hidden amount of btc to 50 eur, cashed out at the ATM, and started to looking forward for Street hookers. I'm generally afraid to do it because if my country police catch you talking for business with a pro, there is a very big fine (500 e
needhelpwithnode: (this fine only applies to cheap Street prostitution, since the cool kids cannot morally stand an half naked woman doin her job, doin it at home is perfectly legit and no fine applies)
mod6: ah
trinque: starting to see what node he wanted help with
needhelpwithnode: then appears this super cute girl (at least for my standards), she's 20, very hot romanian girl. Scared as fuck and proactively looking for police to eventually flee the zone, i approach her and she tolds me that for 30 bombs, she can have good time with me in the car
mircea_popescu: 50 euro hookers ?
needhelpwithnode: i'm totally ok with the price, but only later, when we are in the car and she show me her just remade 7k euros fake titties, I realize that I'm an emotional guy and the vulva of this girl is not turning on me at all
needhelpwithnode: mircea_popescu: 30
mircea_popescu: where the hell is this, cheaper than here even.
needhelpwithnode: well but likes shared VPNs, with such prices you cannot have nothing to expect aside of the physical action
needhelpwithnode: the girl is simply cannot dedicate resources to you
needhelpwithnode: ***the girl simply
needhelpwithnode: but going on with the story
needhelpwithnode: she realizes that I'm not turned on, and then tells me: baby, I don't have much time to spend here cause i need to continue working
needhelpwithnode: I try to explain to her my delicate situation having her standing in front of my stomach. She try to fix the situation in a harsh way telling me "should i go up your little friend?"
needhelpwithnode: To cut a not too long story short: i just hugged her, and had no ejaculation of any kind
mircea_popescu: there's kinds ?
needhelpwithnode: well, after this I realized to have wasted 30 euros, but even more sadly, wasted bitcoin to have something that is really difficult and expensive to buy

mircea_popescu: ~same shit.
mircea_popescu: moreover, nastygrams in communism aren't what you think, chiefly because there's no other plantation and nobody is allowed to own savings or live off them. just like in us.

shinohai pages mats for rusty sapper's spade

asciilifeform: unrelatedly mircea_popescu , doyathink http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709607 link belongs in your rsa draft article ?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 23:39 mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: could call 'monte carlo rsa sig'
mircea_popescu: possibly.
mircea_popescu: a good tmsr-rsa signature write-up can't possibly hurt.
mircea_popescu is entirely unconvinced how to write it as of yet.
asciilifeform: i can expand yesterday's item for the l0gz, might help
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider something like : 1. split item to sign into 512 byte blocks. create block 0 from rng. sign hash(block 0), hash(block 1 + hash(block 0)), hash(block 2 + hash(block 1 + hash(block 0))), and so following.
asciilifeform: say yer max rsasig payload is R bytes. ( R < key/8 , because padding scheme, exactly how is not necessary to say here yet )
asciilifeform: say yer signing a payload, P bytes, P > R .
asciilifeform: P could be a MB, TB, whichever.
asciilifeform: P is now cut into N parcels, R bytes each, last one nullpadded
asciilifeform: now you fire up yer fuckgoat and get a blumblumshub seed, S, S <= R.
asciilifeform: it will be treated as parcel 0 ( what this does, will become apparent later )
asciilifeform: now you feed S to blumblumshub prng, and generate your soliton distribution. this consists of a series of lists, each of the form {Qa, Qb, ... Qc} where Q_ are indices of the parcels
asciilifeform: and arity of each list L is given by soliton dist. likewise
asciilifeform: now we prepend each L with the seed S
asciilifeform: and compute S xor Qa xor .... on each L
asciilifeform: we prepend the indices of the packets that went into each xor, and sign the result.
asciilifeform: the resulting signature is this list of signed solitonizations ( the S can be computed independently , given the original payload P; or can be packaged with the thing for convenience )
asciilifeform: the longer the sig -- the more bulletproof, computably ( exercise for reader ! )
asciilifeform: to verify, delubyize the lists L0....Ln and verify the rsa sig on each.
asciilifeform: bonus is that you can transmit them in any order.
asciilifeform: also error-tolerant, by virtue of lubyism, you can afford to lose a few packets, how many depends on what you have left over.
asciilifeform: that there's it, i think.
asciilifeform: notice, no hashing.
mircea_popescu: see, "any order" is not advantage because you have the original document to provide order ; and the "lose a few" works for enemy here, helps to fake sigs
mircea_popescu: but yes, no hashing. 8x the signing though
asciilifeform: well you can't control the order of transmission, enemy can rearrange the packets. but it doesn't help him any.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the relevant "hashing" is when you can have signature shorter than document. neither scheme contemplates that.
mircea_popescu: so i'd propose it's not properly speaking hashing in that sense, to take 512 byte blocks and spit out 512 byte blocks.
mircea_popescu: there's no rule you must have collisions in this kind of hash function.
asciilifeform: interestingly we don't have any hash function designed from outset to guarantee 0collision 1:1 operation.
mircea_popescu: (if one's absolutely crazy can declare the function from 511 to 512 bytes, and then split all the packages into 511 byte blocks and hurr.)
asciilifeform: on equal-to-output-length inputs.
mircea_popescu: i just did one above.
mircea_popescu: anyway. proper tmsr-rsa-signing is still in need of some chewing.
mircea_popescu: one major point is that other than mpfhf which has been well implemented thanks to peterl, sina and ben_vulpes (and to some degree researched -- speaking of which, still cooking ben_vulpes ?), there's keccak which HASNT yet been implemented much ; and we really could use a fixed-block hash function that's any good.
asciilifeform: in particular, to work out what the minimal ( with engineering margin, a la miller-rabin ) number of lubypackets would be.
asciilifeform not yet attempted to work it out
mircea_popescu: algorithmic hash function is nice ; accordeoning hash function is nice ; anisotropic hash function would be nice to have.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's an ada keccak published decade ago that was not, at first glance, defective in any obvious way, and is a few pgs. but asciilifeform has not yet formally audited.
mircea_popescu: or how would you call "guaranteed bijective hash function" if not anisotropic
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform link ?
asciilifeform: !#s ada keccak
mircea_popescu: for one thing, you'd prolly want to run it on the ffa anyway

asciilifeform: ' The SHA-3 version of Keccak being proposed appears to provide essentially the same level of security guarantees as SHA-2, its predecessor.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707890 <--> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1708980 neato! olimex ppl are pretty close to me (bg), so I ordered one myself, hopefully to be shipped by end of next week
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 22:23 asciilifeform: since we're on subj, asciilifeform got the recently released ice40-8k (largest in the series) going. ( there's only 1 decent dev board for the 8k, the one released by olimex ~2wks ago )
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 15:38 asciilifeform: in very very other noose : the vendor's vga and ps/2 kbd demo verilog for ice40 builds and WORX
asciilifeform: spyked: neato
spyked has had a spike in spendings on hardware in the last ~3 weeks, but couldn't be helped
asciilifeform: spyked: you'll also want something to use as a programmator
asciilifeform: ( can use their olimexduino thing + 10pin cable, or if you have a similar already )
asciilifeform: olimex's ice board dun have a built-in programmator.
asciilifeform: ( see their docs. )
spyked: lessee. what do they use? JTAG?
asciilifeform: there are jtag pins but they are unpopulated, and you'll have to tweezer a resistor off to get the thing to use the ice's internal eeprom instead of the external 2Mb spi rom, if you want to use those
asciilifeform: otherwise you need something that can write to the spi rom, via the given header
asciilifeform: ( 'buspirate', or whateverthehellduino with olimex's supplied proggy, and a few others, will work )
asciilifeform: ( scroll up for pinout of the prog connector )
spyked: ty asciilifeform! I have an arduino board somewhere, will try to get that working.
asciilifeform: np spyked
asciilifeform: the tricky bit is the toolchain .
spyked: hm. why? problems getting it compiled and running? (the linux guide looks straightforward)
asciilifeform: try it and see.
phf: asciilifeform: i don't really understand fpga peripherals architecture very well, but you think you could eyeball compare what's available in ice to pipistrello. (i'm curious where there's a limitation as far as porting cadr) http://pipistrello.saanlima.com/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Pipistrello#Pipistrello_Rev_2.0_Hardware_Description
asciilifeform: phf: that looks like a xilinx
asciilifeform: you can get ANYTHING you want on a xilinx board, phf
asciilifeform: i have multi-$k ones here
asciilifeform: the problem is that it's xilinx.
phf: i'm more asking what's missing from ice in comparison. flash memory, dram? etc.
asciilifeform: where , you know, you gotta devote an entire comp to running a 20GB closed warez, and it does ?????.
asciilifeform: phf: let's start with the gate count
asciilifeform: biggest ice part is the ICE40HX8K
asciilifeform: 7680 LUTs.
asciilifeform: roughly same as 100 of the xl9572 used in FUCKGOATS.
asciilifeform: but smaller than all but the smallest xilinx 'spartan' parts.
asciilifeform: then we proceed to the dev boards. nobody makes an ice dev board with dram on it; or with flash other than the config rom; or with sram bigger than 512k. currently.
asciilifeform: because the part is considered 'too small'
asciilifeform: folx who are willing to use lattice's closed shitdevchain buy the larger parts, where the dev boards are comparable to xilinx.
phf: right, so ice is basically just the fpga with minimum amount of breadboarding, if we want to pipistrello gottta design our own
asciilifeform: correct.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 22:44 asciilifeform: phf et al : to briefly continue http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707895 -- picture an a4-sized plinth, of, e.g., 32 dimm slots. each can contain a card of sram, or alternatively of 4 ice40-8k's, or some peripheral ( e.g. nic magnetics. )
a111: Logged on 2017-08-22 12:25 asciilifeform: but lattice per se is EXACTLY like xilinx, same profit model, closed arch, license 'ip cores'. their larger flagship fpga is exactly like xilinx 'spartan', full of proprietary peripherals, and that's the one that tends to get packaged into devboards with nic etc
phf: so i see
asciilifeform: phf: to be fair, the olimex boards have an expansion plug. but you can't put , e.g., dram, on there, toomuch capacitance.
asciilifeform: will work ok for, e.g., sd card, or breadboard.
asciilifeform: up to perhaps 10MHz
asciilifeform: phf: first thing i'd put on ab-initio ice board is... moar ices.
asciilifeform: let's say 32 of'em.
asciilifeform: ( connect as a hypercube, or on a crossbar, or whichever. )
asciilifeform: ( though i currently suspect that something in the spirit of scheme-79 could fit in no more than 2 -- 1 for the alu and 1 for memory control/gc )
phf: this is beyond me at this point. i'm mostly trying to understand various initricasies of cadr fpga-ing, i'll revisit this thread later
asciilifeform: phf: if you're content to test parker's cadr, your existing xilinx board oughta do the job
asciilifeform: ( though last i saw it was a straight conversion from the ttl schematic, and not especially compact, might need one of the larger chips )
phf: right, it already does (board above). i was curious if there's a porting out strategy, but your answer explained the situation
asciilifeform: phf: out of curiosity, what was the LUT % utilization when you built ?
asciilifeform: ( xilinx toolchain shits out this figure in the report )
phf: i didn't notice it, but i'll look next time i build
asciilifeform: you can use this to estimate whether the thing will fit in particular pld
asciilifeform: FG for instance used 71 out of 72
asciilifeform: ( this is a rough measure, because not all LUTs are created equal, naturally, xilinx has somewhat different ones in the cpld series vs 'spartans', and lattice has yet different, and altera -- yet different, etc )
asciilifeform: for added excitement in life, each also has different routing fabric
asciilifeform: large xilinx chips also have 'hard' periphs inside, e.g. multers, adders, shifters, various
asciilifeform: and these end up used to reduce pressure on the LUTs
asciilifeform: ( and are the reason why xilinx has not been satisfactorily reversed a la ice, and not likely to be before going out of print )
asciilifeform: i.e. they are nonhomogeneous.
asciilifeform: 'ice' -- is homogeneous.
spyked: also, synthesis of open source icestorm toolchain might be somewhat less efficient than closed source? (just a wild guess, maybe not)
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 23:18 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in ic-pr0n, http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/bitdocs-8k << spiffy example of nonpdfized ( per earlier mircea_popescu thread ) hierarchical docs
asciilifeform: spyked: it does not seem to be disastrously bad, surprisingly. but i have yet to try it with a large design. ( also helps that the chip is small, a truly elephantine circuit will never be entered )
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1710087 <-- so far so good. building icestorm tools, pnr, verilog synthesis works after adding clang and other assorted crap. will work out the arduino part later.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 19:40 asciilifeform: try it and see.
asciilifeform: re the archs -- lattice ice is analogous to children's toy 'lego' where you get 9,000 identical bricks; xilinx ( and altera, and the 'adult' lattice fpga on fancy dev boards ) are analogous to... i guess the 'erector' toy, where there are a certain number of fungible pieces, but also ~a~ motor, ~a~ heavy iron base, a quantity of gears, etc.
asciilifeform: spyked: aaaah see, i don't permit clang on my boxes
asciilifeform: it is an evil and i will not work dependency on it into my conveyor.
asciilifeform: bad enough that the thing seems to insist on python3.
spyked: no idea why they need clang. but I see your point
asciilifeform: ( this is at least theoretically fixable )
asciilifeform: spyked: anyway if you search the log you can see how to make it build on gcc.
phf: i'd say it's more like 80s lego and modern lego (if you haven't seen, now it's all >50% custom per-toy parts, that can be snapped to a traditional lego coupling, but otherwise non-universal)
asciilifeform: aah yes phf
asciilifeform saw this
spyked: anyway, don't see why toolchain would need github deps. can fork and sanitize
asciilifeform: lego toy got 'xilinxized' in early 2000s
asciilifeform: spyked: that's the plan.
asciilifeform: spyked: once satisfied that the thing can support adult work.
asciilifeform: ( eventually the synthesis must run on ITSELF )
asciilifeform: THEN can throw out pc.
asciilifeform: and not before.
spyked: aha! so gotta lispify the toolchain. this sounds like a nice project
phf: right, that's the first thought when you have your cadr up. "oh wait, i need to go fuck around with xilinx tooling to make any kind of changes here)
asciilifeform: ideally box will write own config rom. ( have a bank of'em , with mechanical selector, for when you make mistake )
asciilifeform: sorta like bios on certain high end pc mobos.
phf: exactly
asciilifeform: i had a xilinx board (shaped like pc mobo, with pci even ) that had this feature
asciilifeform: would load config from a cf card, and little round knob for setting which of 8 .bit files it'd use on boot

asciilifeform: whore dun go around presenting selves as independent operators who 'spent 27 million, you maggot!' etc
asciilifeform: lolno do tell
mircea_popescu: so i was about six, and a bright young adorable kid with blond curls that proposed to my parents' friends' wives. marriage i mean. and even bit one.
mircea_popescu: and this guy who was an amateur electronist died, and he actually LEFT me his lab! which included all sorts of things, glassware from pre war and such.
mircea_popescu: now at the time we are writing about, "electronics hobbist lab lightbulb" meant a fixed, all-identical, standardized thing. gost like. every kid in school could recognize the item, "this is lightbulb". same for 4.5V 3-cell-in-paper battery and so on. identical, you understand ? (and same for all girls underweasr and all people's flats and furniture in them and so on)
asciilifeform: oohyeah
mircea_popescu: now this man... he had a set of 9V lightbulbs. and so as any good respectable citizen i sat down with the dead man's dragon pile, to TEST everythiung I got. yes ?
asciilifeform can feel the bulb in his fingers even nao
mircea_popescu: now the lightbulbs, connected to the standard battery, did not light up. but only ever slightly orange in the filament.
mircea_popescu: so i threw it away. and piucked another one. same thing. so i scream-ask my mom, across the flat, "mom, is a lightbulb that doesn't not light up thereby no good ?" "yes" she says, evidently using a different standard of "not light up" than mine.
mircea_popescu: i threw them all away.
mircea_popescu: and only realised the problem after the garbage had been taken out.
mircea_popescu: i was very sad.
mircea_popescu: mind you don't end up as sad as me at six as an adult. it goes away a lot faster at that age.
asciilifeform: i have a similar story, but from adulthood and with severl $k of parts that 'hey these all defective, thefuq' and at the end an overvolted ps that had nuked'em all one by one by one..
mircea_popescu: so you have something else to blame huh. i don't!
asciilifeform: sounds like we both had same item to blame, lol
asciilifeform: 'the poor dancer is hindered by own balls' or how it was.
mircea_popescu: no, i just concluded i was inept at standardization and speech generally.
mircea_popescu: possibly the event that made it impossible for me to be seriously racist in the usual sense.
asciilifeform: taken to the extreme, tho, this train would go to 'can't hang nobody at all, what if Great Artist Dies Inside'im'
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> now the lightbulbs, connected to the standard battery, did not light up. but only ever slightly orange in the filament.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu would be delighted to learn that 'modern' envirotronic led bulbs typically never properly die, they just grow moar flickery and... orange, if you will

asciilifeform: and i suspect also -- can SEE the flicker from the electronic horrors
mircea_popescu: i suspect they can see the flicker, yes.
asciilifeform: just as asciilifeform can.
asciilifeform: if i can, moth with mm instead of cm nerve runs, surely can.
mircea_popescu: exactly. that was the logic.
mircea_popescu: "they prolly run up to the mhz"
asciilifeform: spectrum's all wrong, too, led is closer to ye olde crt tv than to blackbody
mircea_popescu: did i ever recount my theory as to WHY they seek the lights ?
asciilifeform: dun think so
mircea_popescu: my theory, which is mine, i will now recount it.
mircea_popescu: this is my theory, which i name it my theory because i came up with it.
mircea_popescu: the next thing i say will be my theory :

kanzure: asciilifeform: how fast can you run an inkjet valve, you foresee any problem with 1 MHz?
kanzure: other than overheating
asciilifeform: kanzure: if it's veeery small, use a saw resonator, there's your valve, 100Mhz easy
mircea_popescu: imagine there's a bunch of bugs spawned over an acre. to perpetuate, they must mate. how shall they encounter each other ? "wut if we used this waste light and have them all seek it ?" said engineer in charge of moth one day ? "they'll necessarily converge before they reach the moon".
asciilifeform: ( what kanzure intends to throttle with the valve, surely has surface tension, and 100MHz prolly won't happen. unless it's liquid he or wat. )
mircea_popescu: he wants to stuff plasmids in cells.
kanzure: i don't need 100 MHz just >100 KHz, like 1 MHz
asciilifeform: i only ever did this by poration and soak'em
mircea_popescu: he wants to do it 1kx faster.
asciilifeform: kanzure: yer fluid conducts or no ?
kanzure: acetonitrile, tetrazole, ammonia, 3-methoxypropionitrile, 2-methyl glutaronitrile, etc.
mircea_popescu: "anything you want ; not conducive if you don't want it to"
asciilifeform: make it conduct. then form the droplets magnetohydrodynamically.
asciilifeform: no valves. 'best machine is no machine' (altschuller)
mircea_popescu: here's the bitch : conducive is corrosive for this application.
asciilifeform: if you can statically charge, just as good.
mircea_popescu: afaik that's how it's done in srslabs.
mircea_popescu: large magnetatrons, and powerful staticatrizers.
mircea_popescu: problem with this sorta gear is that it costs a billion.
kanzure: is this the highest of the high performance inkjet? http://global.kyocera.com/news/2012/0306_niku.html it's only like 40 kHz * 2600 nozzles
mircea_popescu: and a good chunk thereby in not-avoidable expenditure
asciilifeform: naaah the mass spec i lived next to was only 500k or so
asciilifeform: if you're using something less viscous than ink, can use different mechanism, kanzure
mircea_popescu: kanzure your discussion maps on the inkjet vs bubblejet historical approach to printing.
kanzure: "bubble jet" seems to be canon trade name for inkjet
asciilifeform: also must point out, there are other ways to make droplets. for instance, perfume atomizer will give wide spectrum of droplet sizes, and you can 'massspec' out the desired size.
asciilifeform: ( the rest fall into trough, recycled )
mircea_popescu: kanzure at some point someone came up with "charge the droplets, move elctrostatically, send them out with a quarz pump"

asciilifeform: regardless, kanzure , why is it necessary for the droplets to fly through the air onto the target? why not let'em diffuse through a sheet of mylar through small hole burned by laser, say
asciilifeform: layerwise.
mircea_popescu: can have mylar weaved with the pores, for not so much money.
kanzure: throughput is most important aspect of the setup; air is not important.
asciilifeform: also POSaM (linked device design) is a little antiquated, yes '04 but fpga already existed, why require megabux pci i/o card
kanzure: because they are biologists and don't understand technology
asciilifeform: fair'nuff
mircea_popescu: yep he is correct, in the negative sense. "they do not understand what are the REAL limits imposed on them, so they just go along social lines".
asciilifeform: also seems like ideal design would be something quite like colour laserprinter, with N drums, 1 per reagent
asciilifeform: adhere electrostatically ( drum of selenium, charges optically in wanted regions )
kanzure: need really really high throughput, i am 3 minutes away from proposing inkjet with 1 billion valves
asciilifeform: why billion valve
asciilifeform: how many reagents , 4 ?
kanzure: ~12
mircea_popescu: ideally you get something denser than trad printer. if you manage 2-3k dpi (with a tractor!) then you can just prepare your receiver on an endless sheet of paper (process upstream) and just print and print and print. constantly. sort-of how the correct re-asphalt road crew works.
kanzure: ~12 includes cleaning reagents and stuff
mircea_popescu: kanzure the solution is above, over time. no cleaning. just roll the sheet .
kanzure: also need to do multi-pass over same spots btw, about 100 * (steps per base pair addition), where 100 is number of bp or nucleotides (nt)
mircea_popescu: why need to multipass ? (can have multipe printers).
asciilifeform: so you have closed loop of substrate going through 'printer', rather than sheet
asciilifeform: moebius, even, if you like.
mircea_popescu: think of a long sheet of substrate, with prepper and as many prinbter machines as passes needed downstream.
asciilifeform: would work perfectly fine with 1
mircea_popescu: you could in principle do 1m/s which could be worth 10k or so per line at 10k or so lines per meter ie 100mn each second.
kanzure: ok. so 1 billion valves * n=100 printheads where n was used for total dna molecule length
mircea_popescu: kanzure do not scale the printing head ; scale the printed matter.
mircea_popescu: cheaper to get a billion that way.
asciilifeform: charged drum would give same effect as billion printheads
asciilifeform: (consider res of even cheap laser treekiller )
kanzure: for charged drum i would have to pretend to know material science things
asciilifeform: nah long ago mature tech

mircea_popescu: ceramix.
mircea_popescu: evidently.
asciilifeform: still cheaper than 1bil of individually addressable physical objects...
asciilifeform: though incidentally might be interesting to use a decapped sram as a 'printhead'
