danielpbarron there are some people trying to get Bernard to speak at porcfest; not sure how that panned out [00:37]
asciilifeform my own personal picture of him is, he isn't 'ideological' usg, but rather a fella who quit a promising academic career to turn soldier, and went half-deaf in afghan, along with devil knows what else; but was then rewarded with lucrative bureaucrat post. he won't be giving it up. [00:38]
danielpbarron ah, apparently they sucessfully booked him [00:39]
decimation asciilifeform: probably alot of such in usg [00:39]
danielpbarron neato; I'll try to talk to this guy [00:39]

asciilifeform (e.g., programmers straight from school, maths grad students, etc) [00:49]
trinque about in line with working at a middling software company in portland [00:49]
asciilifeform plus the mega-benefits of guaranteed employment for life, fat pensions, health 'insurances', etc. [00:50]

trinque heh! [00:51]
decimation lol it might be worth making a burner identity to read these reviews [00:52]
trinque with the abovementioned rot, I tend to anticipate the day when some US enemy of the many just turns whatever network-connected weapons we have inward. [00:53]
trinque everything the NSA and other unmentioned corruptors have done has made us utterly. weak. [00:54]
trinque and I know such systems are supposed to be disconnected from other networks, sure [00:54]
trinque like the boeing entertainment system [00:55]
trinque nobody ever connects a flash drive at the weapons installations [00:55]
asciilifeform trinque: go connect flash drive to pdp-8. [00:55]
trinque we're making new weapons-carrying machines all the time [00:56]
asciilifeform with 'microvax' (yes) [00:56]
trinque maybe they're safer than I think [00:56]
trinque I wouldn't mind that being the case. [00:56]
asciilifeform the only reason the nukes have not yet 'wandered off' is that the 'serious' part of usg works the same way as my house, or mircea_popescu's [00:57]
asciilifeform that is, on vintage iron [00:57]
decimation heh "Cons: The management. The lack of parking. The decrepit facilities. The location. The political fallout from recent events." [00:57]
trinque thank some god or another for that, then [00:57]
decimation doesn't sound like a sinecure to me [00:58]
decimation "cons: Process and management inhibit mission. Pay does not match market (as low as 60% of what you can get as a contractor)." [00:58]
trinque asciilifeform: still the thing must leak at the level of operational communications [00:59]
trinque I suppose that's what the win8 machines were for [00:59]
decimation "Very low quality workforce overall. At times NSA employment feels like welfare for ex-military who couldn't get better jobs. Moreover, because there are too many employees, we cannot reward the highest performers with a reasonable salary." [01:00]
asciilifeform no one ever talks about the 'up side' of being a bureaucrat, but i think it is necessary. otherwise you are stuck believing that these people are clinically insane (they are not.) [01:01]
decimation surely many of them are insane [01:02]
decimation otheres have found something interesting to do [01:02]
trinque not that insane to collect a good check and be relatively certain of life [01:02]
asciilifeform having worked in a very obscure usg bureaucracy (one of the many army labs) i will say this - it is a kind of valhalla for folks with own projects / ideas. not because anyone will support these (smoke less crack) but because there is virtually no accountability, management, or actual task [01:02]
asciilifeform you can sit there and do mostly whatever. [01:02]
asciilifeform for most of the 'staff', this consists of reading porn, yes [01:03]
asciilifeform but it is not mandatory [01:03]
trinque good place for scientist types to ponder; makes sense [01:03]
decimation the trouble is they still must eat [01:04]
asciilifeform so long as the thing you like to do can be done in front of a computer in a converted broom closet - you're in heaven. [01:04]
asciilifeform until the funding runs out [01:04]
decimation one can hardly raise a family in the wash dc area for $80k [01:04]
asciilifeform family no, reasonable monastic existence - yes [01:04]
decimation yeah, I buy that, good job for someone 'married to work' [01:04]

asciilifeform good job for someone who doesn't give half a flying fuck about work. [01:05]
decimation heh good point [01:05]
decimation what's conquest's third law? [01:05]
asciilifeform didn't require selling soul or keeping secrets, either [01:06]
asciilifeform everything we did was printed in academitard rags [01:06]
decimation "The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. " [01:06]
decimation asciilifeform: that sounds like a nice life, as long as you can work on what you want and aren't bothered by paperwork [01:07]
asciilifeform it was. [01:09]
mats so what i'm hearing is i should apply to be a clerk at the patent office [01:09]
asciilifeform mats: heavens no. they make you work! [01:10]
asciilifeform like post office! [01:10]
decimation mats: go read glassdoor [01:10]
asciilifeform complete with quotas [01:10]
mats o [01:10]
decimation yeah it's terrible work [01:10]
asciilifeform uspto is self-funded [01:10]
asciilifeform (like post office.) [01:10]
decimation unless you minimize your time there to become a patent lawyer [01:10]
asciilifeform bad, bad usg to work for. [01:10]
trinque I'm blessed I suppose by seeing software as only incidental to business [01:10]
trinque or any other such thing [01:10]
trinque I think I'd kill myself at any govt agency [01:10]
mats i enjoyed .mil service for this reason [01:11]
mats got a lot of college courses and personal projects done in my downtime [01:11]
asciilifeform mats: from my perch, it looks more like patent office (i.e. actual work) than the other kind [01:11]
mats and during work hours when not out playing fuck fuck games [01:12]
asciilifeform what good is downtime if it's in afghan with 300 baud modem-over-dead-goat [01:12]
trinque what's a social institution that works for this? [01:12]
trinque uber-wealthy king that funds research? [01:12]
mats my biggest regret is not going to afghan [01:13]
mats should've enlisted sooner [01:13]
asciilifeform mats: but presumably not because of the high-quality ways to spend time off work there ? [01:13]
mats well no. [01:13]
decimation asciilifeform: if stuck on base, you got a burger king, they are apparently universal [01:13]
asciilifeform decimation: being locked in a castle where quality food means 'burger king' sounds like my mental picture of jail [01:14]
mats lol [01:14]
mats i had a whopper this week and couldn't finish it [01:14]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah I think that's kinda the idea [01:14]
trinque it's not even food. [01:15]
decimation your alternative is mystery meat from local orc [01:15]
asciilifeform mats: one time when i was out of work for many months, i applied to be a... sysadmin in afghan. but was rejected, with polite letter that 'you gotta already be in the army.' for some reason this was not stated in the wanted ad. [01:15]
mats lol [01:16]
decimation asciilifeform: actually it would be interesting to be a russian speaker there [01:16]
mats where did you find ad? usajobs? [01:16]
decimation I bet you would find all kinds of obscure and interesting facts [01:16]
asciilifeform decimation: the office next to mine at old work was inhabited by a russian fella. with rank of major. [01:16]
trinque heh, I bet the locals would love a russian speaker around. [01:16]
asciilifeform (warrant officer, naturally, will never go near a war) [01:16]
asciilifeform mats: some snakepit. perhaps one of these. can't recall presently [01:17]
decimation major isn't warrant officer, that's field grade [01:17]
asciilifeform perhaps i am thinking of wrong term here [01:17]
asciilifeform what is it called in usa when you are nominally an officer, but only because you had ph.d. when you put on the uniform [01:17]
asciilifeform and never sent to command anything [01:18]
* asciilifeform checks dictionary. 'warrant officer' [01:18]

mats dunno that i agree with that [01:30]
mats somebody has got to drive the bus and another to read the map [01:30]

mats i get it [01:35]
decimation actually the fact that usg is weirdly reactionary is probably the only thing holding it together [01:36]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform in fairness... rp oliver dude was beyond kooky. seriously, soviet conspiraci ? [02:04]
mircea_popescu by the way, the history of the "national alliance" is one of the top keks in kook history. so, nazi-like thing created in the 70s by a physics prof. he died cca 2000. appointed successor some random schmuck, who managed to lose pretty much everyone's support over the ensuing decade. some other schmuck eventualy staged a coop. schmuck #1 declares fuhrerprinzip refuses to yield. most of the membership follows schmuck #2, [02:18]
mircea_popescu because hey, new schmuck!!11 [02:18]
mircea_popescu except he gets nabbed for child pr0nz and perhaps underage rape. so organization goes back to schmuck #1, who now quits, because he had just married a stripper and "needs to spend time with his family", presumably servicing the black cock she's bringing home. [02:19]

mircea_popescu ascii_field but it was written in a language nevertheless, right ? [14:10]
ascii_field macaronic [14:10]
mircea_popescu and the argument here isn't about "guessing", it's about reducing entropy. [14:10]
ascii_field so, in this example, at least two languages [14:10]
mircea_popescu even so. constraints are present. [14:10]
mircea_popescu you wouldn't stand for this in your cardano rng. [14:10]
ascii_field i can 'reduce entropy' of mircea_popescu's pgp key by telling that the factors are odd. what of it. [14:11]
ascii_field still doesn't reduce it -usefully- [14:11]
mircea_popescu this obviously will only be verified in practice [14:11]
ascii_field it is certain to be. [14:11]
mircea_popescu as it's now an utility rather than a math argument [14:11]

* CheckDavid has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [14:16]
ascii_field incidentally, most people are already using the worst aspects of brainwallet -and- conventional crypto [14:16]
mircea_popescu brainwallets provedly suck in te general case [14:16]
mircea_popescu and i have my doubts about the particular case. [14:16]
ascii_field in that they keep multiple copies of their key around on the planet (or worse, don't) [14:17]
ascii_field and hence the location of key, and any symmetric decrypt password to it, -is- the brainwallet [14:17]
ascii_field i am not sold on the 'probably suck' bit. [14:18]
ascii_field *provably [14:18]
mircea_popescu but you've seen the general public lose btc to weak "brainwallets" ? [14:18]
mircea_popescu that's "the general case", what you tell urmom to do [14:19]
ascii_field yes [14:19]
ascii_field and i don't give a fuck about general public [14:19]

ascii_field so it is not a question of whether to use brainwallets - but whether to -also- use permanent copies of keys ! [14:24]
ascii_field i would also like to point out that framing the question of key quality in terms of 'bits of entropy' is slightly misleading [14:25]
ascii_field because there are two kinds of 'entropy' here [14:25]
ascii_field one kind of the strictly-quantifiable varieties (kolmogorov, shannon, etc) [14:26]
ascii_field the other is actual 'guessability by enemy', a more nebulous thing [14:26]
ascii_field my favourite example is 'digits of pi', which max out (1) while being rock bottom on (2) [14:26]
* assbot removes voice from referredbyloper [14:26]
ascii_field most defective (or subverted) electronic rng have similar property [14:27]
ascii_field 128 bits from first 1 petabyte of digits of pi will be guessed [14:27]
ascii_field 128 bits by a clever child in three languages - never [14:27]
ascii_field even if kolmogorov complexity of both is equal. [14:28]
mircea_popescu ascii_field i can see that angle. [14:28]
ascii_field i urge mircea_popescu to eat some top ice cream and think of this. [14:28]
mircea_popescu "machine-empowered brainwallet" [14:28]
ascii_field machine is bonus. can hash on paper if you must. [14:29]
mircea_popescu the disagreement mostly stems from definitions tho. what people mean when they say "don't use brainwallets for you are stupid" mostly reduces to redditard going on brainwallet.org [14:29]

mircea_popescu Prior to this years HOPE conference, a few articles appeared touting Nadim Kobeissi's new project, miniLock and him and I got into a heated debate regarding some issues that I, as a certified non-cryptographer, was concerned about in his design (at least what I could gather from it from the pre-release Wired article). The essence of my concerns boiled down to the fact that in miniLock, Nadim is using the human user as [15:46]
mircea_popescu the sole source for entropy in the ECC key generation. At the time of the debate, Nadim suggested I wait until the big unveiling at HOPE to pass judgement as he had some research into secure human-generated pass-phrases that he was going to share. [15:46]
mircea_popescu HOPE was last weekend (I didn't go) and finally the design specification has been posted along with the audited code. It appears that my initial concerns were warranted, each key is generated directly from the user's pass-phrase with no salt, thus leaving the true amount of entropy in the key generation process highly unknown. [15:46]
mircea_popescu bwahaha o gawd. [15:46]

mircea_popescu more interestingly, facebook has had it's "turner buys myspace" moment, a while back. the only way it's going now is to that same 99.999% "value" drop. so did twitter. recently, so did github. the process of packaging the ignorant vouches of the average imbecile, selling them and running off has completed with facebook.

asciilifeform i can't fathom how a serious bitcoin user would be willing to tolerate it. [22:21]
mircea_popescu nothing prevents you from generating any arbitrary count of addresses. [22:21]
funkenstein_ one solution is to just rip out all the wallet stuff completely [22:21]
mircea_popescu moreover, backups should be periodic anyway. [22:21]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: speaking here of the default 'sendtoaddress' behaviour. [22:21]
mircea_popescu yes [22:22]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: we spoke of this. i say that'd be braindamaged, because we are maintaining a -reference client- [22:22]
mircea_popescu you can pre-load your wallet with 100k addresses for future use. [22:22]
asciilifeform which means that it is a complete description of bitcoin. [22:22]
asciilifeform this is why the cpu miner stays [22:22]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: yes, you can. but bitcoind as we have it will generate a 100,001th if you fire it. [22:23]
asciilifeform (alternatively, we could deprecate 'sendtoaddress' in favour of 'sendmany' only) [22:23]
mircea_popescu alternatively we could just leave this be for now and focus on CLOSING things rather than opening new things before we closed anything. [22:24]

mircea_popescu aha. [22:24]
asciilifeform (not like it's a hard patch) [22:24]
asciilifeform but as overall question. [22:24]
asciilifeform why keep a pistol that fires towards the hilt in your pistol collection ? [22:24]
funkenstein_ by random change address, I thought you meant the order it is listed in the TX [22:25]
mircea_popescu because it's your father's pistol collection and nobody asked you anything ? [22:25]
mircea_popescu throwing out the pistols that are on fire is one thing [22:25]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: by that token, ought not to touch any of it, l0l [22:25]
mircea_popescu but the rest can be shaved later [22:25]
mircea_popescu well... [22:26]
asciilifeform i see the 'generate change addr' as a boobytrap for the unwary (and extra lines of code) with no rational justification for continued existence [22:26]
asciilifeform but that's just me. [22:27]
mircea_popescu but anyway, the change address mechanism is bizarre, esp in its interraction with backups, but imo not actually doing anything bad. you shouldn't have backups that it affects negatively anyway, if you comprehend backups. [22:27]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: how do you propose to create a backup that it won't affect ? [22:27]
mircea_popescu there's a huge difference from taking out harmful stuff and taking out spurious stuff. these are never ghoing to be the first step, and we've not completed the first step yet [22:27]
mircea_popescu ergo, they're untouchable for now [22:27]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform when you speak of "a" backup you're already out in cosmic space. backups are a process not an item. [22:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the 'generate addr' for instance prevents the use of the hypothetical 'brainwallet' machine discussed earlier. [22:28]

mod6 Going back to this error from lastnight: net.cpp:1358:23: error: 'INT64_MIN' was not declared in this scope [23:01]
decimation mod6 is there an INT64_MIN in bitcoin? jurov's tool doesn't see it [23:03]
mod6 here's what I discovered: ``#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'' is in ``headers.h''. But if I add ``#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'' with ``#include '' directly after the #define in net.cpp, then it compiles fine. I found the same errors in util.cpp and wallet.cpp. Added those two lines fixes it in all places. [23:03]
mod6 decimation: should be line 1359 int64 nBest = INT64_MIN; of (net.cpp) [23:04]
mod6 im not sure what jurov's thing shows. i go by what's in the v0.5.3.1-RELEASE.tar.gz with hash: 5c41fe6cf286770a25bf61ab0c35747d0c760f8656754296d2e1d3c4274b5686 [23:04]

mod6 ip-172-31-2-241 bitcoin-v0_5_3_1 # whereis libcrypto libcrypto: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so [23:12]
mod6 ah, it's an .so... so maybe it's looking for a .a [23:12]
decimation yep [23:12]
decimation you told it -Wl,-Bstatic [23:12]
mod6 openssl? yeah, i believe it built just fine. [23:12]
mod6 I have that whole part saved in a typescript. lemme check [23:12]
decimation is your target libcrypto and libssl in /usr/lib or in your built auto.sh targets? [23:13]
decimation like, libssl.a and libcrypto.a should be in /mnt/btc-dev/sandbox-20150609-v0531-gentoo-uclibc/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/ourlibs/lib [23:14]

decimation yeah but that's not in ourlibs/lib [23:16]
mod6 the typescript does say that it had some error installing the documents or something though, but other than that, looks ok. [23:16]
decimation yeah and when it failed to install documents it didn't move it to ourlibs/lib [23:16]
decimation which is where bitcoin's makefile wants it [23:17]
decimation you are probably missing that one tool [23:17]
mod6 ah, thanks decimation. that's probably the other part of what nubbins` was saying before about not being copied correctly. i had to copy the headers by hand for it to compile... [23:17]
