trinque: in other failed social theories, I bought that Britannica Great Books of the Western World [00:27]
trinque: 1952 [00:28]
trinque: pretty decent bundle of classics and so on, but the first volume in the thing presents, of course, a feverish pitch for "(presumably free) liberal education for all" [00:29]
trinque: couple of strikingly self aware lines in there, along the lines of "if it is impossible to educate every man with the great books of the west, aristotle was right and the mass of humanity are unfit for anything but slavery" [00:32]
trinque: and of course, it appears the thing was received as "omg what is this anthology of dead european men" and "this math is too hard! unfair!" [00:33]
mircea_popescu: heh. [00:51]
mircea_popescu: in other such lulz, apparently egbert-shillbert-shitforbrains w/e his name is now enthusiastically supports something caled segweb 2.0 ? [00:51]

mircea_popescu: meanwhile chasing manufactured nonsense such as "core devs" and "miner consensus conference" and etcetera. [00:54]
mircea_popescu: didn't work in 2012, back when the whole bitcoin market cap was < mp's net worth. it's going to work five years later, with 50 bn btc ? because why, everyone's kakobrekla and wealth makes them too stupid to survive ? [00:54]

BingoBoingo: But yes, lawnmowers are the future. Time for BMW to start offering 3 point hitches so can tow rough cut mower [14:06]
mircea_popescu: sigh [14:13]
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The thing is you buy one car every 12 years for light volcano to beach transit. That doesn't make an industry, so to solve this retailer has to borrow from mass market lawnmowers to offer a carriage to mircea_popescu that might avoid smiting [14:36]
BingoBoingo: Retailer dressed as a "dealer" has either offer a carriage or a lawnmower convincingly dressed as a carriage. [14:37]
BingoBoingo: Latter's cheaper to do. [14:37]
mircea_popescu: ah, but i buy one car for each journeyman slavegirl./ [14:49]
mircea_popescu: that makes for a lot of cars. [14:49]

hanbot: sina yer just a downer under D [21:38]
mircea_popescu: no. for one thing my beard's way cooler. [21:38]
sina: I have a fierce craving for burger today [21:39]
mircea_popescu: that is good for burgercoin. [21:40]
sina: hey I was going to ask about WoT [21:40]
sina: so is deedbot the canonical WoT source? [21:40]
mircea_popescu: go on ? [21:40]
mircea_popescu: yeah [21:40]
sina: and I noticed you can ask it for an S-expression of the entire WoT, that's cool [21:41]
sina: so you can run your own "slave" [21:41]
mircea_popescu: yup [21:41]
sina: but, deedbot doesn't slave to anything itself? [21:41]
sina: so (and maybe I am missing the point), you can't really "run your own node" [21:42]
mircea_popescu: how do you mean ? [21:43]
sina: um...as in, the logical topology of the WoT is a ...web... but to join the web you enter via a tree structure where the root is master, and all other nodes are slaves [21:44]
sina: (deedbot being the root) [21:44]
mircea_popescu: you're conflating things. [21:44]
mircea_popescu: to enter the web, you have to have a rating. [21:44]
sina: but one can only be rated via deedbot [21:45]
sina: not saying that is good or bad, just asking in the general capability of the system [21:45]
mircea_popescu: now, the formalism for recording that rating currently in overwhelming use is !!rate. there is no rule that thios must be so. it is currently so for convenience, and because deedbot is trustworthy. either of these can change, but this would affect little : the party who trusts you can enter that trust into the public record through whatever command [21:45]
sina: the reason I ask is because last night I was thinking of a more coin style WoT, where everyone runs a node, there is an immutable shared log of ratings [21:48]
mircea_popescu: why ? [21:48]
sina: because I sometimes think things? :P [21:48]
sina: it means you can rate from any node [21:48]
mircea_popescu: yes, but for the things in your head to be called thinking, they must proceed form a basis. what is here the basis ? [21:48]
sina: the basis I guess is, substituing the trustworthiness of a single bot with a cryptographic chain, being able to run your own "full node" of the WoT, which gives access to secondary/tertiary networks to participate via a gateway, etc [21:51]
sina: not arguing this should be done, only relating the source of my thoughts which lead to the questions [21:51]
sina: because I didn't know, maybe deedbot already does this kind of thing [21:51]
mircea_popescu: did you read an' understand the "what the wot is" article ? [21:51]
sina: is that the deedbot.org/help.html page? [21:52]
mircea_popescu: no. [21:53]
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ [21:53]
sina: reading now, so you think the idea contravenes those principles? [21:54]
mircea_popescu: i think the idea discusses an item not related to the actual item. [21:54]
mircea_popescu: much like "wouldn't it be cool to make cars out of cardboard, they'd be easier to paint that way" misses the whole car thing [21:55]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the problem with cardboard is keeping it painted [21:59]
sina: mircea_popescu: can you walk me through the hypothetical example case where you have woken up one morning and decided for some valid reason (e.g. deedbot WoT contents no longer match your local copy) that deedbot is no longer trustworthy but urgently want to enter a rating for me of -10 into the public record? [22:10]
sina: do you just post a message here saying "deedbot sucks, I have rates sina -10 in my local copy, which should now be considered canonical via mpbot"? [22:10]
mircea_popescu: for instance. [22:10]
mircea_popescu: in practice it'd likely look a lot more like hey trinque wtf is this, followed by everyone perking up and an answer of some kind being produced and so on. [22:11]
sina: lets say trinque modified it himself because he got syphilis [22:12]
mircea_popescu: the fundamental flaw in your earlier mental process, which is periodically discussed in the logs, is that you try to take trust as an objective. trust isn't an objective, the reason i trust you is because I TRUST YOU, not because deedbot says i do. and the ONLY use of the knowledge that i trust you is that you can ask me about you. nothing else. [22:12]
mircea_popescu: exactly opposite of the imperial certificate bullshit, which is 100% george costanza going "it's true i did nothing all week, but bear in mind i am in the smaller office". ie, "can you doctor ?" "no, not rly... but i do have a doctoring CERTIFICATE" [22:12]
sina: CostanzaBot [22:13]
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else. [22:13]
sina: I think I asked you this long ago, but you keep a local copy of the WoT and expect others to as well right? [22:15]
mircea_popescu: not really expect anything. people are supposed to do their own thinking for themselves. but i expect i'd notice if my ratings weren't right. [22:15]
mircea_popescu: then again, maybe i wouldn't. [22:16]
mircea_popescu: review the gossipd discussions, they're instructive on the topic. [22:16]
sina: yes I have been working my way through those [22:16]
mircea_popescu: aha. [22:16]
sina: although there seems to be a huge amount of contention [22:16]
sina: between how you view those discussions and for example, asciilifeform [22:16]
mircea_popescu: in fairness it's a large ball of yarn and while it flows splendidly from itself, nevertheless it does flow exactlty opposite to ~everyone's acculturation in the soviet empire. [22:17]
sina: from my understanding of your view [22:17]
sina: it's something like UUCP + crypto authentication [22:18]
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't my impression there's substantial disagreement. [22:18]
mircea_popescu: what's uucp ? [22:18]
sina: unix-to-unix-copy [22:18]
mircea_popescu: nah. [22:18]
sina: an old protocol normally used for peering usenet [22:19]
sina: mircea_popescu: there is 159 comments on http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document [22:19]
mircea_popescu: aha [22:19]
sina: with a fair bit of disagreement [22:20]
mircea_popescu: there's a process to working out a mental image of a text. it involves inter alia building alternative models. [22:20]
mircea_popescu: this dun constitute disagreement. [22:20]
mircea_popescu: for perfect meta : re the matter of whether there is or there is not substantial disagreement, we aren't yet disagreeing. so far we're just trying to come to terms. [22:22]
sina: fair [22:22]
mircea_popescu: thyis is a fractally repeating point : the reason "social learning" as modelled by redditards doesn't work irl is the indirection layer. the reason gossipd is undefeatable in practice is... the indirection layer. [22:23]
mircea_popescu: the reason textual methods do not work in practice is... the indirection layer. and so on. [22:23]
mircea_popescu: "oh but he said nigger 85 times!!" "yes but he just uses that to denote tomatoes." [22:23]
mircea_popescu: the expectation that if you listen in a conversation of people you don't know you'll nevertheless be able to discern what is being said is pretty much THE thing distinguishing the esl anglotard from actual thinking people with a functioning head and part of a culture etc. [22:25]
mircea_popescu: (and yes "multiculturalism" is the cheapo excuse of lazy stupid people to not have an actual culture much like "the convenience" of fast food is the excuse inept housewives use to not work the kitchen.) [22:35]
sina: that reminds me I need to eat food [22:38]
mircea_popescu: enjoy [22:38]
trinque: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-11-jun-2017#2293942 << while I maintain the thing with integrity, I enjoy the benefits of a world where it exists and functions properly. [22:42]

trinque: this, to someone with a brain, is ample incentive [22:42]
trinque: meanwhile sina, you get to discover whether there are such folks in the world as can maintain a db of numbers without diddling them... to think! [22:43]
sina: no offense meant trinque, just a hypothetical [22:46]
trinque: none taken [22:47]
mircea_popescu: it's really not so different from yest when you and ben_vulpes were working on the mpfhf. [22:47]
mircea_popescu: "Why dun it work ?" "Fix it!" etc. [22:47]
mircea_popescu: or when candi lust was made, or when absolutely anything else tmsr-happened. [22:47]
sina: trinque: you might not have the specific form of syphilis which induces number diddling, but can you protect against... COSMIC RAYS [22:48]
trinque: thing has daily backups and logs of all interactions [22:49]
trinque: so prolly [22:49]
mircea_popescu: unlike the github cathedral-of-garbage-built-by-anonyous-rats-randomly-ambling about, there's actual people in charge which means the buck always stops somewhere. so it's not exactly "bug reports", it's more in the vein of "and here's your summons to parliament" [22:49]
mircea_popescu: sina and if it becomes an issue, it can be logified. the logger was originally single item you know. [22:49]
sina: sorry, that was just me trying to troll you [22:50]
mircea_popescu: in fact, deedbot was intended to be federated from the get go... or in fact no. the item deedbot replaced because the operator got syphilis (ie, assbot) was created specifically because failure of previous item (operator travelled unexpectedly, thing went down -- tis all in the logs) and was intended to be federated from the get-go [22:50]
sina: rigghthththtttt [22:51]
sina: see this was the original source of my questioning [22:51]
mircea_popescu: except nanotube never actually fixed gribble, for whatever reason (such as for instance - because it wasn't erroneously broken but deliberately broken) [22:51]
sina: "maybe deedbot does something similar to what I was thinking" [22:51]
mircea_popescu: it gets either fixed or replaced if not fixable. [22:51]
mircea_popescu: this is how engineering, and human industry, go. [22:52]
sina: so does it federate trinque? [22:52]
mircea_popescu: not currently. [22:52]
trinque: sina: it does in that nothing stops you from copying the wot sexp at an interval, doing whatever things your castle likes doing with the output [22:53]
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but it won't accept a "this is x's rating for y's, honest" from an altbot. [22:54]
trinque: certainly, and questionable whether it's a good idea [22:54]
mircea_popescu: myeah. [22:55]
mircea_popescu: certainly premature to inquire in the matter. [22:55]
ben_vulpes: in re candi_lustt, i'll point out that anyone in l2 could trivially reproduce her elsewhere, if phf's examples didn't drive the point home [22:59]
sina: yeah so what happened with #b-a? [22:59]
mircea_popescu: tis in teh logs! [22:59]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yah but why make another slut, just reuse the extant one lel [22:59]
ben_vulpes: replace, reproduce... [23:03]
mircea_popescu: chronosones... [23:03]
ben_vulpes: they're not errors in copying, they're built in tests of the copier! [23:04]
ben_vulpes: sina: how do i build this thing [23:11]
ben_vulpes: > ./mpfhf.go:52: syntax error: unexpected EOF, expecting expression [23:11]
ben_vulpes: oh hm repo has something entirely different from trilema [23:13]
ben_vulpes: nifty [23:13]
sina: ben_vulpes: sorry I don't think it pasted right [23:16]
mircea_popescu: o.O [23:17]
sina: last I looked it was missing a bunch of the code [23:17]
sina: ben_vulpes: if you have 0 experience building go binaries, prepare for increased blood pressure [23:18]
sina: you need to set a GOPATH variable, e.g export GOPATH=~/Development/go and then clone the repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/sinner-/mpfhf-golang [23:19]
ben_vulpes: i can handle tooling, ty [23:19]
sina: I just find it really annoying the way they do it [23:20]
sina: that and dependency management are the two weakpoints of golang I feel [23:20]
sina: for what it is [23:20]
ben_vulpes: getting odd results when i do some baseline poking, a message of "a" prints a toBinArray value of [1 1 0 0 0 0 1] [23:20]
sina: wtf [23:21]
ben_vulpes: just running fmt.Print(M) downstream of the toBinArray call [23:21]
ben_vulpes: naively, i'd expect that to be [0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1] [23:21]
ben_vulpes: heh [23:21]
ben_vulpes: dropped a leading zero? [23:22]
ben_vulpes: wacky, fmt.Print(len(M)) -> 7 [23:23]
sina: oh [23:23]
sina: so when I was building it, I was trying to match the "MP kicks ass!" output, which starts with a 1 in the example (and IIRC when I did it in python)... the original string I had was printing a leading 0 [23:24]
sina: so I tweaked it [23:24]
sina: The [M]essage chosen is MP kicks ass!, its bit-value is [23:24]
sina: 1001101101000010000011010111101001110001111010111110011100000110000111100111110011100001 [23:24]
sina: http://trilema.com/mp_fabulous_hashonator.php [23:25]
ben_vulpes: yes but why is the length of the array of bits seven and not eight [23:25]
ben_vulpes: i mean i don't really know what you're getting at, but why is the length of the bit array resulting from eating a single char 7 and not 8 [23:26]
sina: because the format string used drops the leading 0 [23:26]
sina: (AFAIK) [23:26]
ben_vulpes: no buddy [23:26]
ben_vulpes: len(M) [23:26]
ben_vulpes: is seven [23:26]
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1668782 [23:27]
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 03:23 ben_vulpes: wacky, fmt.Print(len(M)) -> 7 [23:27]
sina: ben_vulpes: can you change [23:27]
sina: - binString = fmt.Sprintf("%s%b", binString, c) [23:27]
sina: + binString = fmt.Sprintf("%s%.8b", binString, c) [23:27]
ben_vulpes: oh that's not a builtin aha [23:28]
ben_vulpes: much better [23:28]
sina: mircea_popescu: please confirm spec, are we dropping leading 0 (if exists) or not [23:29]
sina: if not, I need to update the python one too [23:29]
mircea_popescu: dropping what leading 0 ? [23:29]
* ben_vulpes puzzled [23:29]
ben_vulpes: fwiw with that change it *now* matches the output of my implementation. [23:30]
ben_vulpes: at sixty four bits and hashing the character a. [23:30]
sina: mircea_popescu: if you look at the line above for "MP kicks ass!" from your PHP impl [23:31]
ben_vulpes: and several other values [23:31]
sina: it starts with a 1 [23:31]
mircea_popescu: sina prolly because it's a piece of shit. [23:31]
ben_vulpes: again sina php implementation is of an earlier outdated spec [23:31]
sina: ok fair [23:31]
mircea_popescu: yes but what's he to go on. [23:31]
mircea_popescu: and besides, this sounds like php boog. [23:31]
ben_vulpes: i did it from the spec, not the php. [23:31]
ben_vulpes: did not even look at php because boogs! [23:32]
sina: its cool, I had it correct to begin with, but I modified it to match the thing I was seeing, my bad [23:32]
sina: ben_vulpes: have pushed updated ver to golang ver, let me figure out same for python [23:33]
ben_vulpes: heh [23:33]
ben_vulpes: now gotta wrestle with anaconda of "google stack for performance or pystack for not-being-google" [23:33]
ben_vulpes: pick one, you'll go nuts maintaining both [23:33]
ben_vulpes: aye, can confirm matching hashes on your default string [23:35]
sina: just because Rob Pike and co work at the goog doesn't mean golang is goog [23:35]
sina: they mostly write their junk in C++ and java from what I hear [23:35]
ben_vulpes: sure, and swift isn't apple lang lol [23:35]
trinque: google stack comes with built-in curl | bash ! [23:35]
trinque: obviously best [23:36]
ben_vulpes: yeah that "go build" shit pulling in rando code from rando github accounts super great cool stuff [23:36]
sina: yeah :( [23:36]
ben_vulpes: very easy to get started with tho [23:36]
ben_vulpes: such developer adoption [23:37]
sina: that (and the dependency hell it introduces) is why I try and stick to their impressively comprehensive stdlib [23:37]
trinque: sounds like a guy who would end up appreciating common lisp. [23:37]
sina: probably you don't care but I have been working on this for funsies https://github.com/sinner-/blogir [23:37]
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo suggests honda goldwing 'valkyrie' for pete_dushenski's next mid life crisis << nah, too "soaking up the open road". goldwings are for retired vagabonds with a penchant for leather chaps and 60s rock. sort of a post-life-crisis-mobile really. [23:38]
ben_vulpes: sina: eh just use wordpress [23:38]
ben_vulpes: there's a fork of some fraction of what drives trilema floating around the wot [23:38]
ben_vulpes: what, you're going to spend your precious energy furthering the browser hegemony? [23:39]
trinque: googs on both ends [23:39]
sina: how does building a webapp to learn golang further the browser hegenomy?! [23:39]
ben_vulpes: oh i thought you were like a golang professional or some such [23:41]
sina: lol [23:41]
ben_vulpes: trinque: boogs! [23:41]
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what, "european by alliance" cars nao ? << well, ghosn stepped down as nissan ceo so whatever bridge there was is burnt. now it's turbomowereich because nothing cheats nazi emissions standards quite like 'em. [23:41]
ben_vulpes: sina: why, i must ask, "learn go"? [23:42]
sina: ben_vulpes: professionally I'm not even a developer. Companies hire me because I can stuff at scale. but still don't understand how it furthers any hegemony [23:43]
sina: because I think it's a pretty nice high level language [23:43]
* trinque not trying to pile on, but "I can stuff at scale" is entertaining as shit [23:43]
ben_vulpes: solid sentence construction to boot [23:43]
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But still greater potential power to thrust ratio! [23:43]
ben_vulpes: sina: it's a google product, you're "learning the lang" via writing a weblog that most likely generates html for...the browser. google lives by the browser. [23:44]
sina: that is some fancy mental gymnastics, but ok [23:45]
ben_vulpes: why not write numerical integrator? bignum stack? [23:45]
ben_vulpes: implement stephenson's orbital swarm trajectory planner? [23:45]
ben_vulpes: million billion toy projects that do not entail even touching webshit. [23:46]
BingoBoingo: sina: Consider the experiment where you learned trading by "seeding the orderbook" The "at scale" business is similar. [23:46]
sina: careful, browsers rely on numbers, don't want to further google hegemony [23:46]
mircea_popescu: lmao [23:46]
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: mno. let's do the maff. valkyrie first : [23:46]
ben_vulpes: sina: math does not require xml, drop the sophistry. [23:46]
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Of course not stock [23:46]
BingoBoingo: But shirley you can aftermarket compression into it's flat siz [23:47]
pete_dushenski: !~calc 752/102 [23:47]
BingoBoingo: *six [23:47]
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: 752/102 = 7.372549019607843 [23:47]
pete_dushenski: vs. blackzilla [23:47]
pete_dushenski: !~calc 3800/625 [23:47]
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: 3800/625 = 6.08 [23:47]
sina: BingoBoingo: how is it remotely similar? [23:47]
BingoBoingo: And lets not forget bonus horsepower like feelings engendered by feeling the wind on one's testicles [23:48]
sina: ben_vulpes: I didn't claim it did, the point is, taking your logic to its conclusion one can't do anything because google uses computers to do stuff [23:48]
ben_vulpes: sina: lol not even wrong [23:49]
trinque: "not everything is political" and "I just want to" [23:49]
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: two wheeled endangerment does much for feelings engenderment, it's true, but not only way to skin testicles. [23:49]
sina: ben_vulpes: still not following, but that's ok, you explained your train of thought [23:50]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, what happened to your romantic feelings for flat six? Is flat six less sexy when it sends all of it's power to one wheel? [23:50]
trinque: correct number is 8 [23:51]
ben_vulpes: ^ [23:51]
ben_vulpes: sina: surely you see how universal reliance on the browser drives unthinking acceptance of the imperial key signing model, right? [23:52]
ben_vulpes: every time a child gets another hint that building things in html is a sensible way to spend a life, an angel of freedom loses her wings and plummets screaming towards the ground [23:52]
ben_vulpes: think of the angels [23:53]
ben_vulpes: think of the children [23:53]
trinque: lawl [23:53]
ben_vulpes: just say no to html [23:53]
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: six is six, which isn't sex regardless of config. because not eight m8! [23:53]
sina: ben_vulpes: I'll listen to this drivel when you take down your blog [23:53]

ben_vulpes: sina: keep coming back, it works if you work it [23:56]
sina: I follow everything you're saying, but it is plainly dumb to say writing a funsies webapp to learn a language has anything to do with anything [23:57]
ben_vulpes: the notion does depend on several years of shared context, yeah [23:58]
sina: I'm vaguely aware of the shared context, I get there is some stuff that is considered dumb around these neck of the woods, I just don't care [23:58]
ben_vulpes: i mean you're a smart guy, right? what's funsies about generating html trees? [23:58]
ben_vulpes: honest q [23:59]
ben_vulpes: surely this is something you can do on demand without thinking already [23:59]
sina: generating 24 lines of html template took about 3 seconds [23:59]
