shinohai: asciilifeform: think it was a scriba feature .... though bot appears to be present
mod6: that's a mighty useful feature too btw.
mod6: we've gotta have that.
mod6: how you doin' shinohai?
shinohai: Not too bad, got jhvh1 back online now catching up on logs
mod6: ive been writing unit test for ffa
shinohai: Awesum ... I'm going to take a look at the thing asciilifeform posted last night later, gotta get Excedrin for preemptive strike on headaches lol
mod6: i don't have a ton of coverage yet -- just mainly around the fz bitwise ops, fz_add, fz_mult, handfull of others.
mod6: im hoping to get some tests around the shifting procedures possibly today or this weekend. alf's latest changes from yesterday would fit into that as well.
mod6: i hope to glean some deeper understanding of the secret shifting from these tests as well.
mod6: im certain that even the tests that I do have are missing certain cases -- but its a starting point. and when I publish these, the hope is that people here can help fill in the gaps of the coverage so we can use this as a means to ensure that we do not regress as changes occur to the code.
mod6: again, these are unit tests, not functional, integration, or performance tests. meaning: i simply call a (so far public) procedure/function within ffa with specific parameters, and expect specific outputs.
mod6: once we have some solid unit tests in place, i'll look at some functional tests as a higher-level way to ensure we don't regress as well. but that's a bit later yet.
mod6: probably won't even start until we're closer to a finalized version of ffa.
mod6: that's more of a higher-level, functional style test.
mod6: i believe there to be a lot of merit to having unit tests around the specific procedures and functions in ffa.
mod6: so, that's what I'm spending time on now anyway. and, making good progress in a short amount of time. however, ya, many gaps i msure.
mod6: well, they're hopefully clear enough to be understood.
mod6: we'll see how hairy it gets :]
mod6: the fz_mux wasn't too bad, etc.
mod6: to understand the thing, one can simply do the: B ^ ((S - 1) & (A ^ B)) on a calc
mod6: aha, this indeed may be the case - something found. but the main interest "does it do what it ~should~ do, given these inputs"
mod6: that's the aim anyway. but, yah, might find something along the way too.
mod6: ANNND. hopefully will grok moar as well.
mod6: a way of doing necessary work, and forcing myself to do the maff at the same time.
mod6: The hope here is... when these changes are made, the given inputs still match the expected outputs.
mod6: see... i thought so too.. because yesterday i was digging up our conversation from august of '15 where we were looking at gnupg -- that night we had like 69 pastes.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-13 11:19 apeloyee: by the way, the bot which saved pastes on archive.is doesn't seem to do it anymore.
mod6: and Framedragger came along and did that handy thing and archived all that stuff. really, can't live without that bot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik it was a scriba feature. Framedragger !!1111
mod6: unless you wanna give me access to your drive
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform theoretically it also gets the zips. at least iirc.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> so there has to be a synthetic (i.e. Unsigned_32 ) type , that on archs that have narrower bitness than that, ends up a doubleword << ah, i see.
mod6: it adds so much to the history though. being able to see wtf we were talking about.
mircea_popescu: i am loath to put "and load this website" into the eg log bot spec.
mod6: asciilifeform: sure. makes sense.
mod6: anyway, i don't wanna be a distraction. am simply, hopefully, on a useful side-quest.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-13 15:14 asciilifeform: keep in mind that ffa ( esp. the more recent items ) will change.
trinque: actually mircea_popescu's solution to forcing miners to hold all blocks could conceivably used to hire hosting for the archive from whoever has space. folks register with eg deedbot, must produce hash of all archived items at interval to receive a small bitcoin payout, flowing from subscribers to the archive service.
mod6: mircea_popescu: understood. it is more a learning process than anything at this point.
mircea_popescu: trinque entirely feasible but let's revisit in next year.
trinque: must also provide a web endpoint for the archive, etc
trinque: sure, not going to break ground on it
mircea_popescu: mod6 in any case don't completely abandon the trb-v castle, you're like our last guy there i fear
mod6: mircea_popescu: aha, indeed Sir.
mod6: speaking of trinque's usage of polarbeard's rawtx vpatch -- im planning to get deeper into that this month.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: I have not seen polarbeard.
mod6: iirc I had created a proper vpatch of the thing last year, but we never wrapped up all the testing. i'd like to revisit that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i tried /invite polarbeard but * polarbeard :No such nick/channel ; anyone know him irl drop a line ?
mircea_popescu: pity guy left, totally got teh wrong impression re tmsr.
mircea_popescu: yes, complete with the pixelization and the fb_img etc.
mod6: ah yeah, i do have a rawtx on sitting here -- just needs testing. also, still have some makefile changes that are needing some testing/review. and further, want to put in some requested changes to import/dump priv key.
trinque: the introduction of new classes should be perma-banned
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 05:30 trinque: in the process, realized I oughta publically denounce something in the funkenstein importprivkey/dumpprivkey patch
mod6: I dunno about perma-banned, but I do see what you mean by that trinque, in this specific case.
mod6: Submit me a vpatch, Sir.
trinque: mod6: I dunno how you make the thing intelligible while walking further into C++ madness
mod6: trinque: i didn't say we /should/ add more classes.
trinque: mod6: sure sure, I admit being hyperbolic
trinque: I do owe a few patches at this point. btw, am using sendrawtransaction with deedbot, works so far.
mircea_popescu: trinque you won't be able to fix trb into sanity without new classes.
mod6: and please do send 'em my way when you have time
mircea_popescu: now, that they should be used sparsely is certainly true.
mod6: i know you're pretty swamped -- when you're comfortable with deedbots changes, etc. you know.
trinque: if they demolish old, muddy concepts that's far better than subclassing the mud
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nevermind the actual implementation. the design/concept however you call it.
mircea_popescu: when we're discussiong classes we're not automatically discussing an impl. it's a data model.
jhvh1: Gracias Sr. mircea_popescu!
jhvh1: It is good to be self-aware again
mod6: ohmahgerd, it's alive
trinque: mod6: I did lose a transaction in a node's mempool the other day using it. was clearly there, sitting, going nowhere.
trinque: fed to another node, went fine
trinque: I dunno who to blame for that yet
mircea_popescu: trinque one working model : all the nodes node 1 was connected to decided "it is spam", because they can do this now, so they didn't forward it but also didn't tell node 1. same did not hold for node 2.
mircea_popescu: typical sybilling, happens and has happened tons, which is why it's important to talk to many nodes for payment safety.
mircea_popescu: and EVEN IF maintaining a large (and, obviously, expensive) network of nodes etc, you can still run into surprises, as the bitbet issue very well illustrates.
trinque: mhm. node 1 sits on a domestic line; 2, commercial. I could see it
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with node lists, fingerprinting, mothership identification, the whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: if you keep money and man-hours into this, you'll eventually reach that vaunted summit.
mod6: please do keep reporting such irregularities though.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly, this node-sybil-pie entirely exists BECAUSE IT CAN exist. think in GT terms : at t1 it doesn't exist. at t2, player 1 figures out it could exist, whether it can or not, and takes defensive meansures. at t3, some bug in player1's implementation is exploited (consciously or accidentally) and now... it DOES exist.)
mircea_popescu: human problem of meta is that humans can think outside the box. they end up choking each other with the unintentional by-products of that thinking.
mircea_popescu: now THIS would be some interesting ecology, of the "keep the world safe for your children" kind.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-13#1724782 << I am more than willing to make required tweaks to get something like this working (allowing auctions to be denominated in btc as well as ecu, having lobbesbot spit out deedbot invoice, etc)
a111: Logged on 2017-10-13 01:55 mircea_popescu: trinque can directly push lobbes 's bot into it, what more is needed ? we have all the parts.
lobbes: Also gotta figure out where auctions would happen. I'd imagine #t wouldn't be keen on the auctions taking place in this channel. Would be a lot of added noise.
mircea_popescu: tbh, i don't think doing it in #trilema is either unfeasible or a bad idea.
lobbes: That is a point. I can always tweak the announces to be less frequent as people see fit anyways
shinohai: I can't remember what I did with it lobbes .... but there was a plugin that let you announce a msg only to folks subscribed to it.
trinque: commerce happening here wont annoy me!
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes, all sorts of options available. can readily just use pastebin if it gets bad
mircea_popescu: though honestly, may take a while for it to become a problem.

mircea_popescu: satoshi made an engineering mistake, taking the assumption the wrong way
shinohai: This is the lulziest bit: " If you have transactions to make around late November, we suggest you buy some Ether in our wallet today. "
mircea_popescu: basically the excel-powered secret agent strategy has become "try to disrupt bitcoin by creating fud on social media". which works to... disrupt usage by the usg's own muppets, the redditards, wikitards and assoerted other dust mongers ? which is somehow bad for bitcoin, or even noticeable or something ?
mircea_popescu: hey USG - take your useless sheep and drown them all for what anyone cares. seriously now.
mircea_popescu: more like "this bitcoin is like britney, entirely built out of pennies and walmart e-cards"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, apparently taking a few heads here and there creates exactly no conception of own vulnerability in the rest of the heads.
mircea_popescu: there's a great gif with a stupid little girl confronting a lion from behind a glass pane.
mircea_popescu: this has apparently become a major psychological liability for the crowd, they imagine that since everything they ever encountered was safely behind bulletproof glass, that's "just how life is".
mircea_popescu: well, these fucktards are going around looking for chtulhu.

mod6: i do also think there could be paragraphs even written around certain procedures in ffa. but not sure if that belongs in the code, or as a corresponding document outside of the code.
mod6: and ya, that's what i mean, more or less. what/why/how type of explanations.
mod6: but the comments I've seen in there are helpful, as long as they are accurate.
mod6: perhaps -- i certainly think it's good to link l0gz in footnotes or whatnot. the what/why/how doc aught to summarize all of thinking/decision making that went into the code.
mod6: i'm probably getting ahead of myself though. was just saying "*thumbs-up*" on comments.
mod6: Here's a dumb question...
mod6: what does 'P' stand for when you say "FZ_OddP" or "FZ_EvenP" ... etc? Parameter?
BingoBoingo: Looks like the Pinoys can't do it: "hello sir I'm sorry to inform you that it is not possible to met your requirement of 14Gigabits but our offer of 10mbps for 504 USD and we can upgrade that as your needs increase still stands." -jolo
BingoBoingo: I really need something much closer to 14 Gigabits per second. I understand that this will have a price attached to it."
