mircea_popescu: "Coping with radical novelty requires an orthogonal method. One must consider one's own past, the experiences collected, and the habits formed in it as an unfortunate accident of history, and one has to approach the radical novelty with a blank mind, consciously refusing to try to link it with what is already familiar, because the familiar is hopelessly inadequate." << this never was, and absolutely never will be the case. mo
mircea_popescu: reover, the pretense to the contrary and the "blank mind" humanist wank is strictly the path to insanity.

diana_coman: hello caaddr
shinohai: Greeting caaddr
caaddr: hi diana_coman, shinohai
caaddr: I've been working on Chapter 1 of the ffalib guide
diana_coman: what's the problem/question caaddr ?
caaddr: I'm trying to follow the instructions precisely, and that has included not using gcc-5.x or above. I'm just using the standard gnat-4 package in debian which is linked to the gcc-4 package, and I've noticed these are a bit out of date
caaddr: having browsed the logs of #trilema I've found that I'm not the only one who has run into issues:
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 17:55 whaack: asciilifeform: gnat1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fdump-scos’ when I try gprbuild. gnat version 4.6 gcc version 4.8.4.

diana_coman: aha; tbh you are best off using adacore's tools
caaddr: so I've created a vpatch for both of these issues, which makes the genesis Chapter 1 code work with gnat-4
shinohai: I believe mod6 told ne he got it running on deb, I haven't tried
diana_coman: wait, you created a vpatch for ..ffa?
diana_coman: I suppose asciilifeform will want to have a look at them perhaps ; I'm not sure though I see a point in changing ffa to fit whatever gnat4 wants though

diana_coman: caaddr, you should be able to voice yourself from now on
diana_coman: !!down caaddr
asciilifeform: caaddr: and what ~exact~ ver of gnat ?
asciilifeform: ( there is no such thing as 'gnat-4' )
asciilifeform: and also i think at this point i will declare gpl-gnat to be a work of wreckers. it has zero upsides over adacore's, and a million breakages , large and small.
asciilifeform: it exists strictly so that people cannot easily build just about any nontrivial ada proggy.
asciilifeform: if anyone has a counter-argument, now is the time. otherwise ch9 will contain a 'don't use gcc-gnat' preface.
diana_coman: from my own experience with adacore and with gnat, I tend to agree with asciilifeform's evaluation there ^^
diana_coman: !!up caaddr
deedbot: caaddr voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: this would seem to create the unpleasant situation of having just 1 adatron. but it is not clear to me that there ever were 2. there was only adacore and broken-adacore (aka gcc-gnat)
caaddr: GNATMAKE 4.9.2 is the answer to the now redundant question. I'll use adacore instead. I had avoided this because it contains precompiled binaries, with no independent reproducible build certification
diana_coman: caaddr, say here steps + failure when you tried to !!up yourself
caaddr: I said "!!up" to deedbot in pm, and it replied "You must be registered."
asciilifeform: caaddr: and gcc-ada had reproducible build ?! where?
caaddr: I get the same output with "!!up caaddr"
caaddr: it didn't, but I thought source would be available
asciilifeform: ALL gnats require an existing gnat binary in order to build.
asciilifeform: caaddr: adacore's src is also posted
caaddr: oh, I remember the gnat ouroboros from the logs now
asciilifeform: ( it won't build without an existing working copy of their gnat, exactly like the gcc fork's )
caaddr: Ken Thompson hack ahoy
asciilifeform: caaddr: this is why you disasm and audit the bin before deploying to the rocket
caaddr: it would be nice to bootstrap an entire operating system from machine code to forth to some strange mix of forth and ada, ada, then tinyscheme, and finally a sane common lisp subset
asciilifeform: in adaland this is standard.
asciilifeform: caaddr: this is much harder than it appears
caaddr: surely not. you just need "a steady hand and a magnetized needle" ;)
asciilifeform: if you want to actually do it, rather than simply pretend, that is
asciilifeform: problem is that you always end up with something resembling gcc
asciilifeform: i.e. massive turd , sufficiently complex as to be as opaque as any binturd
caaddr: I wonder how early in such a stack you would add the kind of compile time protections that ada guarantees. compile time protections seem to be the hardest thing to keep a programming language at "fits in head" size
caaddr: I suppose you would prefer hardware-only optimizations in any case, so ideally they would not be part of the software stack at all. compilation for performance as caching only
asciilifeform: correct.
caaddr: compared to compilation as a *software transformation device*, which I consider a different case: that is for automating levers, not running your program off of a cliff faster than before
diana_coman: caaddr, previous similar problem with key+deedbot was due to expired key as per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721390
a111: Logged on 2017-10-05 18:54 trinque: apeloyee: gpg: BAD04B14A4545828FABCE63C3DB30625393C0BB1: skipped: unusable public key << gpg has this to say about your fp
diana_coman: if it's not that the trouble here too, trinque might help
caaddr: my public key has no expiry date, "pgpdump 87E7CA4CEB024766F7FFD3733F04CDC412DFE2FF.asc | grep exp"
caaddr: so I'll hold out for trinque. thank you
caaddr: for now just remember: cdr twice, then car twice. anybody else is an impostor ;)
asciilifeform: caaddr: re earlier, i'll say this : if a sane os and sane compiler cannot be ~small~ on a given iron, the iron design is ipso facto defective.
caaddr: so you'd need a carry flag, unlike RISC-V, at least? :)
asciilifeform: forget carry flag, even : native bignum.
caaddr: did SCHEME-79 have native bignum?
asciilifeform: ffa should not even be necessary, on sane iron
asciilifeform: scheme79 was a prototype, did not even have an alu!
caaddr: oh...
caaddr: I think I remember from the paper that only two of the actual pressed irons even worked. I wonder what happened to them?
caaddr: probably locked in a drawer somewhere, lest the world learn from them
asciilifeform: prolly hanging on some senile bureucrat's wall
caaddr: :)
asciilifeform: i dunno why you would need the dies, to learn from
asciilifeform: whole thing iirc was published.
caaddr: "WARNING: MAY STILL CONTAIN DANGEROUS LEVELS OF SANITY". yes, just a joke. it would be nice to handle them as an exercise in hardware archaeology
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1773848 << i've shared a version of vdiff in logs that fixed that issue, because the issue is of course there. i believe the comment was "not oneliner!!1"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 05:26 hanbot: fun with vdiff & svgs: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/23nK0/?raw=true
asciilifeform: learning anything from dies is veeery expensive, see the microscopy thread.
caaddr: but AIM-559 has the details
caaddr: I enjoyed the long series of posts where a gentleman reverse engineered the 6502 die photograph, drawing the schematic from the photo
caaddr: that chip was about the same era. it's certainly doable, but a chore unless you have significant passion for the subject
asciilifeform: caaddr: that was the latest, afaik, fully reversed from die ( publicly, that is ) ic
asciilifeform: and we're talking vintage of 1973 or so
caaddr: perhaps one day we'll be able to hang up a poster of the transistors that caused the FDIV bug
phf: scheme-79 is not "whole thing published", which is something that i said in the logs multiple times also. there's AI memoes of variying detali, but the actual toolset, something called daedalus, and the corresponding daedalus files that actually describe the chip, are nowhere to be found. also dies will not be particularly interesting because the whole point of daedalus was semi assisted layout
asciilifeform: phf: you gotta put this in proper essay form sometime
asciilifeform: i.e. what exactly was censored from it
phf: there was nothing "censored", it's just what was published are abstracts. litereally just reading corresponding AIMs will show you that you can't literally rebuild the cpu from them
asciilifeform: i suspect that daedalus became ns .
phf: daedalus and ns are completely unrelated pieces. NS is an older tool for laying out PALs
asciilifeform: nope, the bolix ns
asciilifeform: what i meant is, betcha the daedalus tool ended up mit'd and 'licensed' out for money etc . and ended up going down with the bolix ship.
phf: oh sure in a sense that daedalus was part of the IP packet
asciilifeform: there's a reason why no sane ic layout, photoprocessing, etc tools exist today, and whole stack is a TB+ of winblowz liquishit for which foundries get charged $mils
asciilifeform: and that reason is mit. and mallery.
caaddr: and then there was Chuck's OKAD...
phf: but note symbolics were still running a CADR internally
asciilifeform: caaddr: afaik not fully published ( in the can build fab immediately sense ) either
caaddr: didn't LMI branch off somewhat and create more innovative hardware?
asciilifeform: phf: aha
asciilifeform: caaddr: afaik lmi never actually fabbed a chip at all
asciilifeform: caaddr: they shipped massive box of discretes .
caaddr: discretes? amusing
asciilifeform: well they sold cadr clone
phf: lmi also stayed closer to CADR for longer. at the very least later versions of S
phf: of SYSTEM has a bunch of #+lmi conditionals long after genera went closed source
caaddr: it's this that I was thinking of:
asciilifeform: lmi iirc never was able to build even one unit of their non-cadr machine
caaddr: "Unlike other Lisp Machines, the K-machine is not descended from Tom Knight's original CONS architecture; the K-machine is an original design."
caaddr: "After a period of time, when no investors were found, the material assets of Gigamos, including the K-machine board sets, specifications, schematics, and printed circuit artwork were sold for salvage to Eli Hefron and Sons in Cambridge, MA. I purchased these materials from Eli Hefron and Sons and they are currently in my possession."
caaddr: so Joe Marshall has what's left
asciilifeform: caaddr: some yrs ago, i convinced marshall to publish all he had
asciilifeform: it should still be floating around somewhere, coupla GB
asciilifeform: it does not add up to a working machine.
caaddr: would like to find it, did not know about it
asciilifeform: caaddr: if it's gone from the net, i'll stand up a mirror ( as soon as i have where to; currently between isps )
caaddr: thanks!
phf: asciilifeform: hey you mind pasting current version of vdiff?
asciilifeform: the problem with attempting to resurrect 1980s 'big iron' designs, however, is the unavailability of various formerly common ( and quite painful to emulate items ), e.g.,
asciilifeform: !#s weitek
caaddr: presumably it hasn't changed from this, phf? http://deedbot.org/deed-372115-1.txt

asciilifeform: comfirmed , mine is same , phf
asciilifeform: *confirmed
asciilifeform: !!up caaddr
deedbot: caaddr voiced for 30 minutes.
caaddr: thanks. hope trinque can fix that. I did try "!!up" again myself
caaddr: fun story: I tried to use vdiff with the busybox version of awk. this did not end with smiles and sunshine and laughter
asciilifeform: typical unixism
asciilifeform: the only actual standard in whole fucking machine is the mains cord.
asciilifeform: erything else thinks it has the right to do whatever .
caaddr: even the power *switches*
phf: caaddr: my personal issue with resurrecting all these lisp machine architectures is that Genera really is the only interesting platform to build upon, and there's not enough source/details available ~at all~ to actually rebuild a genera system from first principles.
caaddr: the full source is available, is it not?
phf: no.
BingoBoingo: !~ticker --market all
caaddr: I thought I torrented a full system once upon a time

asciilifeform: caaddr: torrent was an install disk. with partial source.
phf: all these things are reddit available "oh i saw link and played with it". try ~actually~ ~rebuilding~ a genera system from source code
caaddr: oh, that was OpenGenera too, the RISCised version
asciilifeform: caaddr: it was ordinary genera, but came with a dec alpha emulator for the machine
phf: shit, try cold booting a genera system, rebuilding the FEP, etc. you'll discover that those are non-trivial tasks requiring expert knowledge. that knowledge can be gained from what we have though, but it'll take you weeks or months to get there
caaddr: sure, it was millions of lines of code wasn't it?
asciilifeform: worse is that we have nfi what the actual work of the fep ( other than in very approximate terms ) was
caaddr: and who-knows-how-many lisp engineer man hours
phf: and like cmucl puts it "rebuilding cmucl is not an exact science"
caaddr: anyway, see how sad the state of affairs is? we can't even reproduce the technology of the early 1980s, whereas we ought to have had nearly three decades now of advancement in this area
asciilifeform: the bolix arch itself, was never publicly documented. even something like the instruction set, is not fully known publicly
asciilifeform: or what existed on the bus, and where, also unknown
caaddr: instead we have... what do we have? we have the blockchain but we're still using dns. we have common lisp but we're still using scheme, or, worse, clojure. we have ada but we're using rust. "we" being "we the people", as in the redditoid masses
asciilifeform: hey and 'we have plumbing' but 'we' still shit between two bricks on the ground. in rural redit^H^H^Hindia that is
asciilifeform: i dun give much of a fuck what 'reddit we' do or do not.
caaddr: sure, but I'm just lamenting the negative differential of the progress curve. what are the big discoveries since 1990?
caaddr: luby soliton, what else?
caaddr: blockchain, naturally
phf: bolockchain
asciilifeform: there's been no significant discoveries, in 80s or 90s.
asciilifeform: ( transistor massage is not 'discovery' )
caaddr: wasn't the treap invented in the 1980s?
caaddr: and a few other lisp-aware structures
asciilifeform: massage.
caaddr: so you're saying it's even worse than I thought? ;)
asciilifeform: likely.
asciilifeform: the microcomputer was a massive step back, not merely technically ( that'd be fixable ) but sociopolitically.
asciilifeform: !!up caaddr
deedbot: caaddr voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: it led to microshit, konsoomerization, 'eternal september', all of these 'joys' that we still live in.

mod6: so in that case the hard nofile limit for root gets set to 2000000, and the soft to 1500000 and hanbot's get set to 1000000 each hard/soft. And then that one line is required in common-session.

jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: gnat has a deliberately brittle behaviour re the restriction pragmas -- if you use one it doesn't know about, it barfs. ( and i'm not even convinced that this is wrong. half of the appeal of ada is that it takes 'postel's law', rips off its head, and fucks the stump )

mircea_popescu: i have a theory, and it goes like this :
asciilifeform: possibly because did not trigger the boeck immune cells
asciilifeform: ( too hermetic )
mircea_popescu: going up to a woman and asking her if she'd like to be put in chains and whipped is going to produce significantly better results than going up to a woman and proposing you take her out for a yacht cruise.
mircea_popescu: people WANT to be asked for parts of their own fucking body cut off with a half bent spork.
mircea_popescu: in fact, people want nothing more.
asciilifeform: how did herr schicklegruber put it, 'england gave the english comfort and safety, and they barfed; i asked germany to give me blood, tears, death, and it gave gladly' or how it went
mircea_popescu: the cruise... "it's nice, i guess", but it doesn't fucking hurt and the stump doesn't bleed afterwards, why even bother.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly so.
caaddr: what if there had been a multipart guide to building your own phuctor from scratch, *without* revealing the end purpose of the software until the end? would that have attracted more or less commentary?
mircea_popescu: the correlate of postmodern confusion is that i'd so much rather gouge out an eye than watch another benjamin-shithead movie.
asciilifeform: speaking of which, asciilifeform just uncrated a 'omnibook 800' , prolly the spiffiest dos portable ever made
mircea_popescu: caaddr there's this occasional scam on the internet, most recently "urbit".
BingoBoingo: <caaddr> what if there had been a multipart guide to building your own phuctor from scratch, *without* revealing the end purpose of the software until the end? would that have attracted more or less commentary? << No one wants to read more random python
mircea_popescu: i don't expect anyone gives a shiot abput the gimmick.
asciilifeform: ( the only lappy that had an ACTUAL MOUSE inside it. pops out, no shit, from the side )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun do so much good without the iron
caaddr: I didn't know there was any python involved in phuctor. I see that http://trilema.com/2015/on-how-the-factored-4096-rsa-keys-story-was-handled-and-what-it-means-to-you/#comment-114249 mentions migration from python to GMP
asciilifeform: caaddr: the www front end was in python
mircea_popescu: caaddr iirc the webserver was pythonm
mircea_popescu: ie the bridge from math to peoples.
caaddr: what was its ultimate fate?
asciilifeform: caaddr: the number-crunching part was separate program, in c
caaddr: can it be resurrected phoenix-like from the disk whereon it resides?
mircea_popescu: caaddr empire ~stole the box, started quest for republican isp.
asciilifeform: caaddr: it's on a 1u machine on my desk, as we speak. which in turn is waiting for a host berth.
mircea_popescu: !!key caaddr
asciilifeform: caaddr: phuctor actually suffered from 'chronic case' of empire-steals-box
caaddr: asciilifeform, remember you said something a while ago about there being a lack of basic tools for interrogating information contained within the blockchain?
asciilifeform: caaddr: this remains true
mircea_popescu: no there isn't, ben_vulpes fixed it!
asciilifeform: closest thing is ben_vulpes's item
caaddr: which revealed a general "caveman with microscope" level attitude towards that technology. it occurs to me that the fact nothing like phuctor existed before shows the same caveman approach to all of cryptography, not just blockchains
mircea_popescu: caaddr this is amply discussed, generally under the "not as much as a fucking working cipher omfg"
mircea_popescu: whole population of handwaving fly eyes. which is why "open sores".
mircea_popescu: one day eric raymond came to mp and said "given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow" ; mp extended him the can of beluga roe he was dipping into : "here you go, a whole <<<new software movement>>>". eric raymond never understood what just happened.
caaddr: something from the same book: gpg2 does not allow export of the two RSA primes, p and q, from a password protected key. it does not think that you *own your own primes*. the primes upon which your reputation rests
mircea_popescu: im certain that's not it. there's two causes of the by now well identified and documented pantsuit idiocy.
caaddr: as far as I can tell, you can either rewrite their shitware from scratch and surgically remove the primes yourself, or you can import it into the less damaged gpg1 to achieve much the same in a less irritating way
mircea_popescu: one is, of course, the attempted building of a http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979

mircea_popescu: the OTHER however, plain idiocy as opposed to the malevolent sort, is perhaps best rendered as "missing formats".
mircea_popescu: gpg doesn't "allow" the exporting of your own damned primes because IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO NOTATE THEM.
mircea_popescu: this may seem weird considering we've had numbers for a long time. but i am pretty certain that's what the problem is.
mircea_popescu: they literally could not conceive HOW to give you those.
caaddr: indeed. this inversion of "fundamental principles" with "implementation details best left hidden from the 'casual' user" is all of a pattern
caaddr: primes, who could need those? what the user really needs are a hundred poorly named command line flags to manipulate a keychain state that they normally control using easily spoofed truncated fingerprints
caaddr: because that's what they saw in a LEET PGP guide that somebody wrote in 2003. it's gotta be safe, it's a guide! on the web! copy and paste, try not to think too hard about what's formatting what
mircea_popescu: which explains why gpg 1 has but gpg2 has not : by the time gpg2 came out, there was an absolute lower bound firmly in place, and well... TOO BIG. "people could never handle this!"
caaddr: it would be entertaining/devastating to survey how many users of PGP actually use the extra metadata besides the primes and exponent in the first place

asciilifeform: there will be a tmsr gnat; and will be based on a cleaned-up adacore gnat.
mircea_popescu: do you build ON his thing, and then run into http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-21#1773628 ? or do you NOT build on his thing, cutting out a younfg and promising fellow into another polarbeard ?

mircea_popescu: it's a bitch.
caaddr: trinque: so the only use we have is actually a *negative* use
mircea_popescu: people put their email in there all the time ; which got zimmerman banned in my book, because i wrote to the email and he responded that he "long ago lost the key".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to me either. i'm mostly putting the matter into over-enunciated discussion to get the thinkjuices flowing on the topic, as it's gonna be the main bitch for years to come.

caaddr: arbitrage, like in all decaying societies
mircea_popescu: you're sitting there and telling me you're a suit with a working comprehension of the underlying technology ? what the fuck is this, the future ?
caaddr: the hovercars will be programmed in ada
mircea_popescu: arbitrage, what ? m&a ?
mircea_popescu: (for the noobs : arbitrage as a financial "fashionable" item, the sorta thing tom cruise might be doing to explain why he has all that money and time to pursue "slavegirls" came to light during the 70s mergers and acquisitions craze (aka, m&a), where the success/failure of an attempt to takeover induces significant yet economically meaningless price movements. the whys and wherefores of both the behaviour and its effects are
mircea_popescu: also lulzy, but a topic for another time.)
caaddr: no m&a, nothing deep
mircea_popescu: so are you basically an engineer flattering himself on the grounds of "hey, online brokerages let anyone open an account these days!" then ?
caaddr: very much like that, yes
caaddr: let's see about the value of my vpatches
mircea_popescu: engineer of doing what ?
BingoBoingo: Sausage? Does alf have a meat engineer friend?
caaddr: various computing sector tasks. like all modern men, I can skin a rabbit, smelt my own copper, build my own hut. computational equivalents, of course. strangely these turn out to be valuable traits, though easily gotten
mircea_popescu: why all the coyness anyway. dja ever read the anonimity discussion, as it happens ?
caaddr: no? pointer?
mircea_popescu: item's been looking for someone to pick up the "no, really mp, anonimity is actually a net positive" torch for a long time now. be my guest.
caaddr: that'll have to be pushed to the stack, time's running low for the evening
mircea_popescu: there's no rush.
caaddr: in any case, I hope to contribute what little I can. thinking here seems to align with mine
asciilifeform: ftr potentially interesting, to n00bz, ffa thread, in http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema-mod6?d=2018-1-22#289427 today.
