mircea_popescu quite. [02:12]
asciilifeform 'soviet informatik' terminology like цикл (cycle) for 'loop' is, afaik, only remembered by the older folks who came of age on '70s-'80s books [02:13]

asciilifeform very few of these things feel 'impressive' after you learn just how intrinsically simple all of our tech stack is [06:22]
asciilifeform when you strip away the crapolade. [06:22]
decimation I guess I'm thinking "must recreate xilinux crapware, mentor graphics crapware, & various glue code" [06:23]
decimation but much of that stuff is redundant [06:23]
asciilifeform all of it. [06:23]
asciilifeform the only thing intrinsically necessary is a compact way to tell the photomask printer what to do... [06:24]
decimation unfortunately, unless one is going mask one's own chips, we are stuck with fgpa's and rtl [06:25]
* asciilifeform just emerged from ~4 hrs of lathe work, does in fact appreciate the difficulty of apparently simple things. but the extant computing stack - is still a pile of shit. [06:25]
TheNewDeal what where you lathing? [06:28]
asciilifeform TheNewDeal: approximately the gadget pictured here: http://www.dispensetips.com/pages/piston.html [06:29]
assbot Piston Pump, positive displacement pump [06:29]
asciilifeform (only the pieces with the red flow diagram depicted) [06:29]
decimation heh, you gonna make a pump for solder paste? [06:30]
asciilifeform more or less obvious from the link, no ? [06:30]
decimation yep. what about the little micro-screw-needle [06:30]
asciilifeform the business end? [06:31]
decimation yeah [06:31]
asciilifeform that's the single solitary part that's actually readily available off the shelf, a dime a dozen. [06:31]
* yhwh- has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [06:32]
decimation no the auger valve you wrote about a few months ago [06:33]
asciilifeform at chinese factories, they go through astounding quantities of such needles when dispensing glue - hence cheap. [06:33]
asciilifeform nope. [06:33]
decimation http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-07-2014#765038 [06:33]
assbot Logged on 23-07-2014 03:10:06; asciilifeform: state of the art, it turns out, is 'auger valve' - think: small archimedes screw. [06:33]
asciilifeform auger valve is in some ways a nicer design [06:33]
asciilifeform but quite difficult to achieve given the tolerances of a cheap desktop non-cnc lathe. [06:34]
decimation yeah makes sense [06:34]
decimation so you are going to build a 'better' glue squirter [06:34]
asciilifeform and yes all of this could theoretically be bought. [06:34]
asciilifeform but - golden toilet. [06:34]
decimation yeah I understand. [06:34]
asciilifeform 'better' in the sense that 1) it easily beats the controlled-air-puff dispenser i was using previously, which is almost unusably inaccurate and, [06:35]
asciilifeform 2) can be had. really nice things exist, are used in 'adult' factories - but cannot be had. [06:35]
decimation So if you can control the fine pump pressure dynamically you might be able to prevent the 'drool' problem [06:36]
asciilifeform 'positive displacement' here means, easily, that no more turd can emerge from the needle than is actually inside the needle [06:36]
asciilifeform as a theoretical maximum [06:36]
asciilifeform ('rabbit can be pulled out of hat only to the extent said rabbit is actually in the hat.' [06:37]
asciilifeform ) [06:37]
asciilifeform no need to control pressure to any great extent, that's the whole fscking point of pos. disp. pumps. [06:37]
asciilifeform just need enough air pressure in syringe to keep the paste flowing into the work chamber on the piston's up-stroke. [06:38]
asciilifeform (but not so much that it is able to overcome the needle.) [06:38]
decimation yeah I guess there is no air in the chamber, so it's all incompressible [06:38]
asciilifeform correct. [06:38]
asciilifeform (there are circumstances where air can mix with the paste, but i will not describe them here - we've already put everyone to sleep.) [06:39]
* BingoBoingo is far from asleep [06:40]
decimation looks to me that a likely leakage path would be the upstroke phase - air could leak around the piston [06:41]
TheNewDeal may have just fixed my dial indicator. Feel like I working in a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour [06:42]
asciilifeform TheNewDeal: what was the occasion for dial indicator ? [06:42]
nubbins` odd coincidence, my dial test indicator showed up today [06:43]
TheNewDeal use them for a few things at work. One is to make sure that gears are meshed well enough [06:43]

asciilifeform (previously had only 'dial indicator') [06:43]
nubbins` read that earlier, i have no dial test indicator ;( [06:43]
asciilifeform it'll be - an ancient 'mitutoyo' [06:44]
asciilifeform i keep waiting for someone here to suggest 'use peristaltic pump' [06:47]
asciilifeform (then i'd have to explain how this doesn't work, sadly, and for nonobvious reason) [06:47]
decimation is it because it would smash the solder balls? [06:48]
asciilifeform TheNewDeal: Feel like I working in a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour << i am glad to learn that i am not the only one who ended up constructing his own personal chinese sweatshop to toil in... [06:48]
asciilifeform it would smash the solder balls << nope. the standard methods (auger and piston) actually do. and this limits the life of the apparatus (smashed balls end up adhering to the inside bores.) [06:48]
TheNewDeal hahaha I hardly constructed one. Just borrowed a tiny screwdriver from the tools that ship with the machine [06:49]
asciilifeform problem with peristaltic is that it operates in bursts (one 'squeeze') which always end up too long. [06:49]
BingoBoingo (then i'd have to explain how this doesn't work, sadly, and for nonobvious reason) << it could work if instead you went for living fabrication machines as the Flinstones did. [06:49]
decimation couldn't you construct a really tiny paristaltic pump? [06:50]
asciilifeform decimation: you can, but you get odd behaviour - considering that you aren't pumping a fluid in the usual sense [06:50]
asciilifeform but a suspension of metal balls. [06:50]
decimation yeah I suspect as the ID of the tube approaches the size of the balls weird stuff would happen [06:51]
asciilifeform peristaltic pump also stretches the tube if the business end is clogged (as it inevitably becomes) [06:51]
asciilifeform weird stuff happens in all of the listed designs. it's a problem to which there isn't really a fully satisfactory solution. [06:52]
asciilifeform (solder paste in 'adult' industry is simply never pumped. they use stencils, afaik.) [06:52]
BingoBoingo peristaltic pump also stretches the tube if the business end is clogged (as it inevitably becomes) << In the prototypical models Magnesium citrate tends to clear this well. [06:53]
decimation yeah I was reading about how they ditched laser cut designs for photoetching [06:53]
decimation for stencils that is [06:54]

mircea_popescu bounce: now it would help if we can properly articulate what ails us. but we can't, because the terminology has been deliberately confused and watered down and broadened and stretched (by the industry) so as to spread FUD more effectively << you are very naive to imagine the terminology has anything to do with it. point in case : if in a room with a woman that wants to fuck me, i don't need to speak her language. point [21:46]
mircea_popescu ing even may be an excessive requirement. if on the other hand in a room with a woman that doesn't want to, you can be e a poe for all the good it'll do you. [21:46]
mircea_popescu this is exactly the case in here. to imagine one can somehow magically learn "the language" without a) passing the requisite tests and b) interiorising the culture that spawned that language is naive. and if a and b is satisfgied, the form of language is really moot anyway. [21:47]

mircea_popescu let's model this. people with young children go camping. 20 adults, 10 children. case 1, "people generally" look after the kids. [22:09]

mircea_popescu i will, yes. [22:11]
mircea_popescu as long as you let me beat them selectively i'll have my bomb, and some adoring princesses to follow me around to boot. [22:11]
asciilifeform russian saying 'you can't mold a bullet from shit' isn't strictly true - you could, had you sufficient energy, convert the shit into diamond and have bullet [22:12]
mircea_popescu quite [22:12]
mircea_popescu besides. there's iron in the heme that the shit is mostly comprised of. [22:12]
asciilifeform but if engineer tells you this, you will kick him. [22:12]
mircea_popescu depends of the context. [22:12]
asciilifeform context of 'i need a box of bullets' [22:13]
mircea_popescu the goal is not the context. [22:13]
mircea_popescu if he says this sitting right next to a lathe i'm going to smack his head on the lathe. [22:13]
mircea_popescu if in a worldwide septic tank, we're going for it. [22:13]
mircea_popescu you, in fact, are currently and have been for a year, molding a bullet. [22:13]
mircea_popescu out of... [22:13]
asciilifeform piss. [22:14]
asciilifeform not easy. [22:14]
mircea_popescu whether to make the piss freeze or to try and electrolytically separate iron from shit is an exercise left for the engineer. [22:14]
asciilifeform notice that the analogy is closer than one might like [22:14]
asciilifeform to create the bullet from shit-diamond, it is necessary to remove most of the extraneous matter. [22:15]
kuzetsa [14:59:14] <+Naphex> kuzetsa: you should check logs, make sure you're not owned << logs of what? [22:15]
asciilifeform conceivably, most of the mass present. [22:15]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform selective beating is selective beating. people adapt, young people especially so, women most of all. [22:15]
mircea_popescu kuzetsa the server in question ? [22:15]
mike_c these methods (beating, wot, etc) could be applied to new software [22:16]
mike_c if i wrote a new btc wallet (or managed development thereof), it would be secure for fear of above methods [22:16]
kuzetsa mircea_popescu: but... I don't have any cgi on the httpd, nor are any of the other daemons the sort which use environment variables to pass stuff around (using bash or otherwise) [22:16]
mike_c but to audit existing btc wallet? forget it. [22:16]
mircea_popescu mike_c notice how little beating is actually needed, among civilised adults that interiorise the wot model. [22:16]
Naphex apache still passes stuff through env by default [22:16]
mircea_popescu kuzetsa reading logs never killed anyone. [22:16]
Naphex but it should be no problem unless thet env hits apache [22:16]
kuzetsa Naphex: I don't use apache [22:16]
mircea_popescu if the process of figuring out what is safe worked, we wouldn't have the bug in the first place. [22:17]
Naphex nginx / php fpm/ fast cgi all pass env as well [22:17]
asciilifeform also it is possible that i used a bad example. man has indeed invented hydrogen bomb. but securing 50 years of turdolade by 'fixing mistakes' is more akin to jumping 1km. no athlete has jumped 1km, and beatings will not create one. [22:17]
Naphex and if that env hits bash it runs [22:17]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform point is not to fix anything. [22:17]
Naphex kuzetsa: mail servers will pass through env as well, on the pipeline while filtering them mails [22:18]
mircea_popescu we're not here for a goal, we're here because a cause. major fucking difference. [22:18]
Naphex so any mail filters, spam filters [22:18]
mircea_popescu Naphex also some ssl/ssh/etc [22:18]
kuzetsa Naphex: I don't have any mail daemon on that particular system either [22:18]
mike_c what? how is env getting set if no cgi/bash shit? [22:19]
Naphex mircea_popescu: yeah but that doesn't hit sh until successful login [22:19]
mircea_popescu still. [22:19]
Naphex mike_c: env is general POSIX [22:19]
Naphex all apps use it [22:19]
rithm my spam filter is roll-your-own [22:19]
asciilifeform until the entire machine stack (chemical, electronic, os, etc) fits in a human mind - doesn't have to be that of alcoholic bum off the street, could be six people alive - then you have a system a reasonable man will sign his life under. [22:19]
Naphex and pass it around, if corrupted env hits bash it runs and the end [22:19]
mike_c yes, but i thought shocky thingy required cgi/bash to chane env [22:19]
rithm my testing alligns with what Naphex just said about authentication [22:20]
Naphex mike_c: no, you can change env regardless, its just that if bash interpets the env it runs [22:20]
mike_c shit, i gotta read more. [22:20]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is where you're wrong. because consider, what is your definition of "human mind" ? could you in fact have two human minds that are identically the same one mind for this purpose ? turns out you can, it's the most important field of research of the vory. [22:20]
asciilifeform one can chop heads if job is not done, but if it isn't doable given the available constraints - you just end with a tall pile of heads [22:20]
mircea_popescu how is it done ? why, by not acting towards a goal, but from a cause. [22:20]
kuzetsa mike_c: I'm certain that the public-internet-facing daemons on the system in question don't pass stuff around using environment variables [22:21]
asciilifeform well sure - ultimately all organization is based on this [22:21]
mircea_popescu quite. [22:21]
Naphex rithm: even if you're spam filter is roll your own, if SUBJECT gets passed in Env along the pipeline, and if on the pipeline something hits /bin/sh / /bin/bash it will run [22:21]
Naphex just patch it, and killall -TERM sh/ bash and you're set [22:21]
mike_c kuzetsa: ok, thanks [22:21]
asciilifeform but the analogy falls apart here. what we have, in organization, is cray's 1024 chickens. [22:21]
kuzetsa Naphex: yeah, I decided to compile a new kernel anyway so I rebooted after making sure bash was patched :) [22:22]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves: i often think about that, how the hell can someone who cannot/willnot read code, ever be the steward of a software project safely? <<< you know i don't actually read all that much code at all. i guess i could, more or less, but i wouldn't trust myself to understand it. by which i don't mean "what it does", but i do mean "what we can absolutely say about this program" [22:22]
mircea_popescu Naphex wasn't the patch bad ? [22:22]
asciilifeform unless you can actually build 'borg' that share a mind, rather than just army or clan, the organization cannot understand mechanisms too large for the cleverest member to understand. for any useful value of 'understand.' [22:22]
asciilifeform this is the fundamental reason why 'software sucks' [22:22]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform mechanisms are simple. [22:22]
kuzetsa mircea_popescu: there's 2 different patches [22:22]
mike_c old news? asciilifeform: Stephane Chazelas is author. [22:23]
mircea_popescu that is the thing. they only seem complex to the lazy and to the stupidly vain. but otherwise, the mechanisms are damned simple. [22:23]
mircea_popescu kuzetsa a yea nm. [22:23]
Naphex mircea_popescu: gentoo has good patch out [22:23]
asciilifeform low intrinsic complexity - yes. encrusted with 'accidental complexity - also yes. [22:23]

kakobrekla peer review scape goat? [23:42]
asciilifeform perhaps. [23:42]
asciilifeform i vaguely recall that mr. hearbleed was a pedigreed вредитель though. [23:43]

thestringpuller not equating the two, just saying similar tone. [23:55]
