mircea_popescu: in other electricities, "La exmujer de un oligarca comparte su secreto para ganar dinero en Internet..." [00:34]
mircea_popescu: truth be told you don't actually need, or for that matter want, electricity to juju worship. be a lot happier with a coupla tubers rather than all this unmanageable complexity [00:36]
mircea_popescu: and teh juju worship'd come out just as good. [00:36]
BingoBoingo: That's as a worshipper. As a peddler of a particular juju, electricity helps to sell more jujidgets [00:46]
mircea_popescu: but it's exactly the same as the rent market : yes, you sell more jujidgets but guess what ? so does everyone else. so now you HAVE TO sell more jujidgets. [00:47]
BingoBoingo: Or Jewidgets, however the spelling works out [00:48]
mircea_popescu: electricity is not actually serving you, much like the idea of "stand on tiptoes to see better at ball game" doesn't actually serve you. [00:48]
mircea_popescu: all you get is... "well now you GOTTA stand on tiptoes, sucker" [00:48]
BingoBoingo: Well it's inflation. So what about actual value? Gotta march to 120k classroom monitor! [00:49]
BingoBoingo: So tiptoes on stacked jujewgidgets all because tv said so. [00:53]
mircea_popescu: sure. but it dun mean they're ~needed~. [00:58]

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i must confess -- styling html makes me impotent [13:32]
asciilifeform: how about ~not~ styling it. [13:33]
asciilifeform: like qntra. [13:33]
asciilifeform: would do a world'o'good. [13:33]
asciilifeform: it is driving me batshit that this liquishit font is even ~on~ my box. [13:33]
asciilifeform: (why??) [13:33]
asciilifeform: i'm half-convinced that just about all commonplace linux fonts were specially made by wreckers in '90s. [13:34]

ben_vulpes: no thank you [13:45]
Framedragger: verdana sucks. especially when it's not antialiased [13:45]
Framedragger: actually interestingly, trilema.com also renders verdana here on firefox. but i think that ben_vulpes' site somehow managed to use "verdana italic" as "regular verdana", which looked horribru. but i'm not sure what that even [13:50]
BingoBoingo: Seriously, the correct answer is to not style web text. [14:14]
BingoBoingo: Let reader of text assign style [14:14]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: one problem -- some things MUST be monospaced. [14:14]
asciilifeform: ( imho -- i'd much rather have everything monospace, if could only have one. ) [14:15]
Framedragger: thing is, you can monospace with <pre> and let browser decide on monospaced font, too [14:15]
asciilifeform: aha [14:16]
Framedragger: so shouldn't be a prob. [14:16]
asciilifeform: but this in re BingoBoingo's 'just don't style' [14:16]
asciilifeform: but if you don't know how to style correctly -- then, yes, don't. [14:16]
Framedragger: you can view <pre> as a content/semantic tag, and 'style' would be 'shit in css'. i mean, if we truly believed in content/form separation on the web [14:16]
ben_vulpes: web is not even a place where "words have meaning" [14:17]
ben_vulpes: browser authors happily route around eg multiple identical ids on same page [14:18]
Framedragger: it's the ultimate zoo, what can i say [14:18]
ben_vulpes: ultimate poo [14:19]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but this in re BingoBoingo's 'just don't style' << <pre> isn't style, it's semantic [15:15]
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Any thoughts towards the agriCltural Supremacy Challenge [15:16]
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i thought about looking up local fairs [15:17]

a111: Logged on 2017-04-28 03:34 mircea_popescu: anyway. anyone seen that tox thing ? [16:39]
mircea_popescu: this is so totally novel a situation / [16:40]
Framedragger: this one recent time, an actually decent outside person reported a fixable vuln in their craptography https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/issues/426 [16:40]
Framedragger: folks went defensive. very barf [16:40]
* Framedragger actually went on their channel (whichever it was, they have like tox-talk and -dev and just tox or sth) to see if any clever people. yes, one iphy (also on ##crypto) understood that (1) it was an issue and (2) these other 'core member' fuckwits were destroying any goodwill [16:41]
Framedragger: i think in the end they managed to address the fact that they should address it [16:42]
Framedragger: that exhausted my curiosity, tho [16:42]
mircea_popescu: but then he promotes "the noise protocol framework" [16:42]
mircea_popescu: which is one synergy short of a buzz cut. [16:42]
Framedragger: here i have a problem because i don't think noise is necessarily bad or that e.g. signal protocol is necessarily bad (yes names are barf'y) [16:42]
Framedragger: i mean, 'compared to what'. certainly not compared to asciilifeform's actually-fucking-constant-time crypto architecture [16:43]
mircea_popescu: does it not seem to you that a protocol framework (ie, some sort of method for "creating" or "tailoring" protocols) is broken in the head ? [16:43]
Framedragger: oops by 'certainly not' i meant 'certainly pos compared to alf's [16:43]
Framedragger: hold on, that does sound retarted [16:44]
mircea_popescu: even if we don't consider practical experience (hey, automake tried to be a makefile framework yes ?) and only focus on the theoretical aspect [16:44]
Framedragger: ah. well, i thought it was a set of lower-level crypto interfaces on which you could build higher-level protocols [16:44]
Framedragger: naming is shit, yeah [16:44]
Framedragger: i'm not convinced it's a very bad idea. i'm not advocating such 'we love complexiti' architecture of course [16:44]
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : when a fundamental problem is well understood enough to approach conclusively, and yet the approach eschews creating a standard in favour of preserving choice, the signal is that the problem was NOT actually understood enough. [16:45]
mircea_popescu: ie, a "protocol framework" is definitionally premature. [16:45]
mircea_popescu: either you have a protocol standard, or else you have more prototyping work to do. [16:45]
mircea_popescu: (at least that's what i parse the words to mean, framework = "standard with a lot of user serviceable knobs") [16:46]
Framedragger: i think by 'you can create protocol' they meant a high degree of abstraction kind of protocol. e.g. stateless or stateful transport security, etc. [16:46]
mircea_popescu: and who's going to cover the edge case interplay three feet deep ? [16:47]
Framedragger: makes sense to have core building blocks. i see protocol framework here in the sense of openssl being a protocol framework [16:47]
mircea_popescu: openssl is woefully insecure! [16:47]
Framedragger: yesyes, many issues, sure. and in regards to openssl, you know what i meant, the interfaces that the openssl library exports to its operators [16:47]
mircea_popescu: the... what ? [16:48]
Framedragger: the fact that interfaces implement literal crap in the case of openssl is of course not the best advertising for a simile... [16:48]
mircea_popescu: you mean that it runs on linux and consequently you can process its output ? [16:48]
Framedragger: no, i mean that you can embed it in your $crapchatapp and not worry about IV reuse [16:48]
mircea_popescu: the part that enables you to not worry thus is in your head not in the openssl. [16:49]

mircea_popescu: i'd fucking worry. and i'd have great cause to worry, too. [16:49]
Framedragger: because of openssl or because of this abstraction? [16:49]
mircea_popescu: because nobody actually looked at all the edge cases, on the assumption that they were only generated through the interplay of idle abstraction and will "never be encountered in practice" [16:50]
mircea_popescu: which is of course what your crapapp will do post haste, if you've any luck. [16:50]
Framedragger: i thought you were *for* a crypto library where operator would not have to use (by which i mean abuse, because he will) low level primitives? [16:50]
Framedragger: damn i need semantic search on logs [16:51]
mircea_popescu: let's revisit the early cs classes. if you have state machine A, with 4 states, and state machine B, with 5 states, the composed mechanism AB has... 20 states. [16:51]
mircea_popescu: abstraction has this cost, that if i have to maintain AB i spend twice the time if i maintained an A and a B. [16:51]

trinque: questions remain on how best to handle incoming deposits I hear ben_vulpes might be working on something to help [16:52]
mircea_popescu: if your protocol is, for the sake of this argument, a state machine with about 150k states, and then the "framework" is a further state machine with about a half million or so states, your protocol framework escapes security as a fundamental property of it. [16:52]
mircea_popescu: trinque epic. [16:53]
ben_vulpes: trinque: output dumper's not entirely done but closeish [16:53]
ben_vulpes: gotta back out the c++11 work, implement a predicate and test the shit out of it [16:53]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no disagreement. i honestly don't know re framework, i do think they just abused a term (which isn't a great signal) [16:53]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: even then, yes, explosion of statespace, sure [16:53]
mircea_popescu: see, naggum's (correct) advice in that piece ##crypto barfed at was... MAKE YOUR TAILORED CL! [16:54]
mircea_popescu: not "download the latest cl framework". that's the opposite approach/. [16:54]
ben_vulpes: current thinking in re testing dumper is to solo mine and test but that's a not-small pile of test harness to write [16:55]
mircea_popescu: even more directly : every kid who ever tried maintaining a machine, be it linux, bsd, anything, knows very directly the problem with this framework thing. apt-get is guess what ? a package framework. what's its principal function on anyone's machine ? that it imports packages you a) didn't want or need and b) turned out vulnerable. [16:55]
mircea_popescu: but to return upstack : if i can't enumerate the states of my machine, i will thus therefore worry about it ending up in a state i can't predict, understand or recover. this is rational. [16:56]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well, you're right, damn. looking at list of thing signal gives though, it's just clean functions for doing crypto. i dunno. i think in the case of tox, its crypto may actually map well to noise, in the sense of them being able to just use stuff that noise provides, and not reimplement same shit in broken fashion [16:57]
mircea_popescu: (predict : i know what it will do in the future understand : i know what it is doing now recover : i separated it from what it did in the past.) [16:58]
Framedragger: but then that whole ecosystem may need to die before there is good in the world. [16:58]

asciilifeform: how's it work ? [17:35]
Framedragger: no, there is no such thing, i said it's social. but hold on: [17:36]
Framedragger: it's not an algo, i was referring to a possible fix of a further bad-thing that happens when key stolen. bad-thing is: once your key stolen, attacker (in that broken tox scheme) can impersonate as *anyone* *to* you. [17:36]
asciilifeform: he can also log into your box, say, and impersonate ~that~ way. [17:36]
asciilifeform: or format your hd. [17:36]
asciilifeform: or whichever. [17:36]
asciilifeform: for any practical purpose, he ~is~ you. [17:37]
Framedragger: so if you have your friend bob's key and bob writes you "dude key stolen wtf", you know that shit went down. but now, attacker can be 100 bobs, with 'signed messages' or whatever, telling you "no don't listen to this impersonator not-bob, you're fine" [17:37]
Framedragger: i do not believe in "single key" thing. there is main-key. but you can have station keys. which can't format hdd. that's slippery slope [17:37]
asciilifeform: Framedragger: how do you intend to distinguish this situation from impostor ? [17:37]
Framedragger: if scheme works as it should, you get a signed message from bob and you know it's bob who sent it to you. [17:38]
asciilifeform: ... or the thief [17:38]
Framedragger: the idea is that your key was not stolen while attacker had root access to your box. [17:38]

Framedragger: i typed it into irc while sleeping. [17:39]
asciilifeform: why you would not also type the 'master' key ? [17:39]
mircea_popescu: so basically if master key annuls a key it is thereby annulled ? [17:39]
Framedragger: i don't have a super-plausible scenario. i'm saying such scenario is possible scheme used by tox can 'minimise damage' (i realise that it's a funny word when describing 'key stolen') it doesn't, hence that complaint on shithub. [17:40]

mircea_popescu: well, as conclusive as it gets. see the gossipd design document comment section. [17:47]

asciilifeform: what i don't yet have is a fixed-time modular exponentiator. [19:48]
phf: so my very very naive algo takes 120 seconds to expt 2345 to 5678 [19:48]
asciilifeform: apparently this might be an open problem, of sorts [19:48]
phf: err 170s [19:48]
pete_dushenski: in other walls, https://www.dezeen.com/2017/04/25/turkey-completes-first-phase-900-kilometre-wall-syrian-border/ [19:49]
phf: which i think should be considered a kind of upper bound (this is the most naive algo, without making it intentionally retarded) [19:49]
asciilifeform: ( best mod exp algo i've found appears to be 'montgomery's ladder', but i am not convinced that it can be made fixed-time ) [19:49]
asciilifeform: phf: egyptian algo is , afaik, the simplest that's at all practical [19:50]
phf: in related lulz Karatsuba and Ofman's "Multiplication of Many-Digital Numbers by Automatic Computers" doesn't seem to be available anywhere online, but "everyone" seems to know it somehow [19:50]
asciilifeform: ( repeated addition is not exactly physically plausible for 64b, much less 8192b multiplicand..) [19:50]
asciilifeform: phf: karatsuba's algo is in knuth [19:51]
asciilifeform: ( and gpg ) [19:51]
asciilifeform: however it is unsuitable, because it branches. [19:51]
phf: right, i figure as much from reading cmucl's source code (which uses k.) [19:51]
asciilifeform: k incidentally died not long ago iirc [19:51]
asciilifeform: was a titan of a man. [19:52]
asciilifeform: ( karatsuba, that is. knuth afaik zombies along still. ) [19:52]
phf: philistine that i am, for a longest time i thought karatsuba was japanese.. [19:52]
asciilifeform: lol!! [19:52]
phf: i.e. ka-ra-tsu-ba [19:53]
asciilifeform: http://www.mi.ras.ru/~karatsuba << subj. [19:53]
asciilifeform: phf: https://archive.is/j4Lue >> 'Умножение многозначных чисел на автоматах' (1962), subj2 [19:55]
asciilifeform: hmm, cut off [19:56]
phf: aah cheers [19:56]
asciilifeform: anyway the pdf loads. [19:58]
asciilifeform: phf: you will notice, i also 'de-optimized' some of the arithmetical functions, to help clarity. [20:00]
asciilifeform: imho it does not particularly matter if generating rsa key takes a second, an hour, or an entire day. [20:00]
asciilifeform: if rsatron becomes slightly more readable, and a dozen lines shorter, and less 'clever', and as result generating key takes two days instead of 1 -- i call it a win!! [20:01]
* phf nods [20:02]
asciilifeform: observe also the 'mux', it is fundamental building block for nonbranching ops. [20:02]
phf: vaguely related, all these papers that cite subj. i'm sure all these people have a copy in their private collection (the one they referenced when writing!!1), that they don't share out of copyright considerations and the respect for great scientist [20:03]
asciilifeform: i bet most of these were simply never scanned. [20:03]
phf: probably not. unless there's a djvu archive somewhere of "доклады академии наук ссср" [20:05]
mats: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-21#1630579 << similarly, did amd mole get a red star for 'f00f' bug? ) [20:05]
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 18:03 asciilifeform pictures intel mole getting 'order of wintel red star' pinned on his uniform [20:05]
mats: relatedly - a trivia q i didn't know the answer to, until it was shared - what is the proper way to test for support for the cmpxchg8b instruction? [20:09]
asciilifeform: mats: run it and see if trap? like any other oddball instr? [20:10]
mats: allegedly some non-intel CPUs lied in CPUID, and some had MSRs to address but others didn't - some bios would set the MSR bit, and others wouldn't even when it was available [20:17]
mats: the provided answer was - first test for Intel CPU with CPUID (so you don't trigger f00f) and then for anything GenuineIntel, run it and check for undefined opcode exception [20:18]
mats: Transmeta and Rise processors both had issues with it [20:20]
asciilifeform: i'd naively suppose that there are more 'cyrix' left in operation today than 'transmeta'. [20:25]
mats: why did transmeta die? it predates my interest in computers [20:29]
mats: i remember reading about it years after the fact, 'brightest minds' working on it and so on [20:30]
asciilifeform: was a pretty typical 'brightest minds' tarpit, aha. 0 useful product. [20:32]
asciilifeform: linus, involved, iirc. never mentions it today. [20:33]
mats: hpa, paul allen, too. my impression is he didn't really do anything besides lend his minor celebrity to the org [20:41]
mats: think he ported linux kernel to their chipset but no record of anything else [20:43]
mats: made out like a bandit with those shares, i hope [20:43]
phf: asciilifeform: hey, how's overflow supposed to work in your fz_mul? [21:00]
phf: (i'm on train so might disappear) [21:00]
phf: i'm doing 2345x1 on ffa(64*5, u64) and it's giving me overflow 1 [21:00]
asciilifeform: phf: paste whole routine plox? [21:03]
phf: FZ_Set(A, 2345) [21:04]
phf: FZ_Set(B, 1) [21:04]
phf: FZ_Mul(A, B, R, Overflow) [21:04]
phf: Dump(R) [21:04]
phf: package Foo is new ffa(Width => 64*5, [21:04]
phf: Word => Unsigned_64) [21:04]
phf: use Foo [21:04]
phf: err [21:04]
phf: Dump(Overflow) [21:04]
phf: gives 929, 1 [21:05]
* asciilifeform looks [21:11]
asciilifeform: 2345 = 0x929 ... [21:13]
phf: correct, but why overflow [21:13]
phf: (about to hit comm dead zone, be back in an hour or so, but will check log on hpone) [21:19]
asciilifeform: actually this is a 'classy' bug, turns out [21:25]
asciilifeform: does anybody want to try his hand at it before i post answer ? [21:25]
phf: asciilifeform: i want to [21:27]
phf: post tomorrow [21:27]
asciilifeform: aite. [21:27]
