mircea_popescu: putinize lol. what a great word. [10:07]
mircea_popescu: and in other news, diana utterly owns "ossasepia" in teh google. wd eh, [10:15]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds quite good to me let's do it [10:29]
asciilifeform: and i was thinking nearly same thing re the price. [10:30]

BingoBoingo: shinohai ty, edited "Ya Socialismo" to "Oriental socialism", different meat substrates and gotta keep the Chicoms burning time on Engrish lessons. [12:40]
shinohai: aha ty [12:41]
BingoBoingo: "Ya Socialismo" is what stoner latinos aspring to Jay and Silent Bob want. Oriental Socialism is more or less an anthill. [12:44]
mircea_popescu: is this "socialismo ya!" ? [12:50]
BingoBoingo: Here they flip the words. Apparently the Uruguayos suck at grammar [12:59]

phf: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-24-feb-2018#2411232 << i thought that it was just a helpful warning, but upon reflection i realized that this is actually a bug. investigating it further i took a wrong direction on a diff's command line flag switch, and as it stands if you see this warning it [14:25]
a111: Logged on 2018-02-25 01:46 hanbot: phf : patched fix for vdiff produced a genesis for me but complains about 'no newline at end of file' for some 67 files. not clear to me whether i oughta be concerned/what gives. [14:25]
phf: means that vdiff is producing invalid vpatches [14:26]
mircea_popescu: o.O [14:26]
phf: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/juBz2/?raw=true illustrates the issue [14:32]
mircea_popescu: o wow. [14:33]
mircea_popescu: nice find then. [14:34]
* mod6 looks [14:35]
phf: i have a btcbase based test harnes, but it of course also didn't catch the issue, because it doesn't know about `\ No newline ...' in band thing either. it treats that line as a textual prelude to the next hunk which is a valid patch format [14:36]
phf: in any case i'll produce a fix by wednesday, but not before. this requires careful work [14:40]
mircea_popescu: aite. [14:40]
phf: mod6: an important thing to add to v might be a check ~after~ the press, which ensures that final states of files have shasums that the vpatch chain claims they should [14:44]
phf: i think right now the way things are implemented (that goes for btcbase anyway) you can have a chain, that links correctly, but actually doesn't press to anything at all like what the hashes claim [14:45]
mircea_popescu: tsk [14:47]
phf: and in vaguely related, while writing a chain verifier for btcbase, i found that we have utf-8 in genesis http://btcbase.org/patches/genesis#L23962 [14:52]
mod6: what my vtron does is this: as it iterates through the list of patches to be pressed, after each vpatch pressed, it checks that the output file sha matches the expected. [14:52]
mircea_popescu: ahaha [14:54]
mod6: Here's a snippit of that code: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/6lZc7/?raw=true [14:54]
mod6: gah, UTF8!? [14:54]
mircea_popescu: 23962 /*Boost has a year 2038 problem— if the request sleep time is past epoch+2^31 seconds the sleep returns instantly. [14:55]
mircea_popescu: dash. [14:55]
mircea_popescu: who put that abomination in there and why! [14:55]
mod6: for crying out loud [14:57]
mod6: I can confirm. [14:58]
mircea_popescu: whose process even produces microsoft publishing dashes [14:58]
phf: mod6: right, that's the right thing to do for a longest time i was still pressing with the original v.py, but i suspect most people (except maybe ascii) use v.pl at this point [15:09]
phf: i still have muscle memory for dashes, quotes and a few math symbols on mac en layout. (i would even differentiate between russian << .. >> and en `` .. ''). this stuff seemed like the future in the early 2000s.. [15:12]
mircea_popescu: the guillemets are actually french not russian eh! [15:14]
phf: easiest way to get a rise out of my iranian colleagues is to suggest that samovar and olivier salad were not "invented" by iranians [15:16]
mircea_popescu: hehe [15:16]
mircea_popescu: so is it your comment typed out on a mac, is the idea ? [15:17]
phf: right, that it could've been typed out by hand [15:18]
mircea_popescu: well could've. was it or wasn't it ? [15:18]
phf: you're assuming that i'm trying to say something useful! [15:19]
mircea_popescu: lol k. [15:19]
mod6: Looks like this UTF-8 problem with the dashes goes all the way back - and looks like we've all signed it with that in there: [15:24]
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/js0nN/?raw=true [15:24]
mod6: I pulled the original posts from the ML, and then started looking for "e2 80 94" which I ~think~ is the bad char. [15:25]
mircea_popescu: ayup. [15:25]
mircea_popescu: chiefly because we didn't actually understand at the time what we were doing. [15:26]
mod6: Yeah, but furthermore, I don't think the "no UTF8" rule had been established at that point. [15:26]
mod6: I'd have to dig for that to prove tho. [15:27]
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it was not. [15:27]
mircea_popescu: i'm guessing the only way out of this predicament is to have an actual regrind, into a new genesis, of all the patches we actually want. [15:27]
mod6: ^ indeed. [15:28]
mod6: And rather than do a fast job to complete this I think the right approach is to comb through the entire thing and ensure that no UTF-8 is hiding. [15:29]
mircea_popescu: well... think it through for sure. [15:30]

phf: 2^31 milliseconds is only about 25 days. Also clamps Sleep() to 10 years, [17:19]
phf: because it currently sleeps for 0 seconds when the sleep time would cross [17:19]
phf: 2^31 seconds since the epoch. Hopefully boost will be fixed by 2028. [17:19]

ben_vulpes: no need for voice over there yet, but sure no rush [19:21]
trinque: next item on the list for the wallet is subscription processing. [19:23]
trinque: don't know if that's interesting to pizarro, but it's coming. [19:23]
ben_vulpes: neato [19:23]
trinque: there'll be some fee involved for those, would like to hear what interested users are willing to pay. [19:25]
mircea_popescu: trinque what functions would work out of chan though ? seems the ones that don't work in pm (!!deed say) shouldn't and the ones that work in pm... welll... [19:25]
trinque: he's asking, ben_vulpes what functions did you want [19:25]
mircea_popescu: i suppose if you actually make the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-19#1784956 item then that'd prolly want its own #pizarro list but also by now it's such a complex piece of gnarl might even want to separate a rss-bot out of deedbot [19:26]
a111: Logged on 2018-02-19 14:56 mircea_popescu: trinque should prolly make the public blog rss thing a l1 blackballable item. ie anyone deedbot trusts can ask (in channel) for any item to be discontinued -- and it is. [19:26]
ben_vulpes: having wallet commands would be handy, unless mircea_popescu wants to see pizarro invoices/payments in #trilema [19:27]
trinque: already is separate [19:27]
trinque: the whole thing is modular. [19:27]
mircea_popescu: im not sure i want to have you maintain rss-shenanigans as part of deedbot proper, they're widely disjunct seriousness. [19:27]
ben_vulpes: does invoice work in pm? [19:27]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes all those pay withdraw etc work in pm afaik. [19:27]
ben_vulpes: yeah, tis what i thought as well [19:27]
trinque: all wallet ops work in pm [19:27]
trinque: anyhow, this is definitely not some piece of gnarl. [19:27]
mircea_popescu: the rss stuff ? [19:28]
mircea_popescu: how can it not be, it has to read random websites. [19:28]
trinque: I don't understand the question. [19:28]
trinque: "deedbot" is something like 10 separate services. [19:28]
mircea_popescu: running on the same box ? [19:29]
trinque: no [19:29]
mircea_popescu: ah. so then it's a name-only thing, might as well have a rss bot name on the rss bot item [19:29]
mircea_popescu: otherwise you know, if the process running on the box where you do payments ALSO curls http://random.website/rss every 5 minutes... not so great. [19:30]
trinque: it already does not do this. [19:30]
mircea_popescu: very nice and good. [19:30]
trinque: there's a publisher/subscriber model in use, services being subscribers which are notified of new messages they might be interested in [19:31]
trinque: they then in turn can publish responses that exit the thing connected to IRC [19:31]
mircea_popescu: so there's three classes of things : 1. deedbot "proper" let's say, doing !!deed + the wot + the whole !!up system 2. deedbot payments 3. deedbot fluff, doing things like rss. [19:31]
mircea_popescu: now as to 1, i don't think it should be out of chan, on one hand because "secret" deeds plainly don't make sense on the other because the voice thing is ~probably~ premature in channel that is both new and customer facing. but in principle certainly could in the future have local l1 with voice model for diff channel, i think. [19:33]
mircea_popescu: 2 already works in pm, so there's no absolute reason shouldn't work in any other channel, if you're willing to put the work into that. [19:34]
mircea_popescu: and 3 really should be a separate bot i think. [19:34]
mircea_popescu: conceivably 2 should be a separate bot also but a) as long as tyou're maintaining both and b) they really need very much the same level of security and assurance, it doesn't seem worth the hassle. [19:35]
trinque: kinda overcomplicates my way of handling IRC to separate into 3 connections to IRC. [19:35]
mircea_popescu: well, i was more probing if you actually want to implement the whole rss thing yourself or pass it along to some noob. [19:36]
trinque: ah. if a worthy noob is interested in handling rss, he may. [19:37]
mircea_popescu: course as it happens... pete_dushenski just decided he's not really interested... maybe http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-18#1784578 was looking for a way in ? [19:38]

mircea_popescu: jesus christ look at that, plenty of list [19:39]
trinque: upstack a bit, I can see the argument for separating functionality into meaningful (nick)names [19:41]
mircea_popescu: well for one thing one can't /ignore the rss cuz of deedbot. it's a little much. [19:41]
trinque: under the hood, the wallet's called "mensarius" [19:41]
mircea_popescu: lol. srsly, what's wrong with paybot [19:42]
trinque: ah other than it being in that language you keep in your torture room, nothin! [19:43]

lobbes: mircea_popescu: while I'm still working through my self-directed remedial mathematics studies to understand merkle-trees at a functional level, what I have learned so far got me thinking: [22:10]
lobbes: so, here's what I understand thus far re: my goal (plox to correct me): essentially construct a 'tree' of the set of all webpages archived. the 'root' will be the hash of all branches. where I'm still fuzzy is how the remaining branhces/nodes are to be structured (though perhaps this may become clear to me upon further study) [22:10]
lobbes: I am guessing it will be something like: 1) root 2) nodes for 'distinct url', each who has child nodes representing 3) historical instances of that 'distinct url', each who has child notes representing 4) the collection of files that make up that webpage [22:10]
lobbes: and if 4) is correct, then should that be further broken down into a webpage hierarchy? Because if so, we may be limited using archive.is as a middle-man as the zips it spits out do not have the file structure intact always 'flat' (e.g. this archived orlol: http://lobbesblog.com/archive/102.zip) [22:10]
mircea_popescu: lobbes you understand what the AST is for a [webpage [22:27]
mircea_popescu: lobbes you understand what the AST is for a [web]page [of code] ? [22:27]
ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786219, I'm working on custom runtime / zero footprint ada code [23:57]

lobbesbot: ave1: Sent 1 week, 3 days, 5 hours, and 53 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> so i finally tested, exhaustively, and turns out you were completely correct re the inline pragma, gcc ~sometimes~ ( when it wants... ) inlines when it is not given in the .ads . i'ma fix this in ch12, this find deserves own chapter, with re-done timings for errything [23:57]
ave1: Also, as it happens on some bot code in ADA, but this is slow going [23:58]
mircea_popescu: aite [23:58]
