douchebag:	mircea_popescu: I'm talking to a girl right now	[00:15]
douchebag:	She might be interested	[00:15]
mircea_popescu:	aite.	[00:17]
douchebag:	tryna sweet talk her right now	[00:17]
hanbot:	phf et al: attempted to press latest vtools to the keccak head. v (mod6's) reports vtools_vpatch_newline not in flow, neither its antecedent vtools_fixes_static_tohex, despite both patches and (verified good) sigs present (they neither show up via flow command). v will press to vtools_vpatch.vpatch, but no further. see http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/oNRhE/?raw=true .	[00:25]
hanbot:	not sure if this has something to do with the note in phf's accompanying release post re btcbase presser not working quite right....	[00:26]
mod6:	ugh	[00:27]
mod6:	i'll take a look	[00:27]
mircea_popescu:	hanbot manifest is broken	[00:28]
mircea_popescu:	o no nm, i had them in reverse order.	[00:29]
mircea_popescu:	it's actually 6144 -> 7ebf 7ebf -> 154d	[00:29]
mircea_popescu:	hanbot that is so fucking weird v.pl literally greps for the name in order to spit out that error, and the name's right there.	[00:33]
mod6:	well, 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not found in her flow.	[00:42]
mod6:	which is where the error comes from. im getting all of his patches & sigs and will see wtf	[00:42]
mircea_popescu:	but it's in the ls.	[00:43]
mod6:	yeah, but v.pl isn't picking it up, for some reason i'll get to the bottom of why.	[00:44]
mod6:	hanbot: can you tell us what version of v.pl you are using?	[00:45]
hanbot:	99994 K	[00:47]
mod6:	ok, update to 99993 K plz. not sure it'll solve ~this~ problem yet.	[00:51]
* mod6	is just digging in	[00:51]
hanbot:	mod6 same results with 99993	[01:00]
mod6:	yup, i see the same.	[01:01]
mod6:	and i've found the issue.	[01:02]
mod6:	stand by	[01:02]
mod6:	Before I paste this, lemme describe what I'm doing here: 1) I'm starting fresh, grabbing all the vpatches and sigs referenced in the most recent blog post by phf at http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/	[01:03]
mod6:	2) Once I have all the files, I put them in the proper place. Then grab the latest V (99993) and verify that it's correct.	[01:04]
mod6:	3) Check the flow, see that vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch is not in the flow, and check to ensure that the seal verifies, and it dows	[01:04]
mod6:	*does	[01:04]
mod6:	4) Check the press paths -- there are ~two~ (phf said this was experimental previously)	[01:05]
mod6:	5) Check the origins of the antecedent hashes in 'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' to see if we're missing one.	[01:06]
mod6:	6) We're not missing an antecedent vpatch however, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d' matches two antecedents	[01:07]
mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tD3fl/?raw=true	[01:07]
mod6:	^ my testing	[01:07]
mod6:	one will notice that these antecedent origins are from two separate press-paths.	[01:09]
mod6:	I'm not sure how to reconsile this. If you have a different v tool that will help you work around this, by all means.	[01:11]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 how the heck can both sha fixes and fixes newline have the same hash	[01:13]
mircea_popescu:	oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ?	[01:14]
mircea_popescu:	99994 and 99993 correctly press past this split, you're aware.	[01:14]
mod6:	'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' indeed have the same output hash.	[01:16]
mod6:	<+mircea_popescu> oh, they don't, they just have the same antecedent. why is this a problem ? << im not sure at this point. could be an edge case im not catching, or could be buried in old rules built into my v.	[01:17]
mircea_popescu:	hang on wtf.	[01:18]
mod6:	and a good question, is this a problem for 'theory of v' ?	[01:18]
mod6:	i'd have to fully debug the problem here, im only showing the symptoms here.	[01:18]
mircea_popescu:	omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true	[01:20]
mircea_popescu:	phf dude you did the conflict wth is this!	[01:20]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 well i dun see how we can have collisions and live. i can't even understand how the fuck this was possible, two patches with DIFFERENT antecedents hash-colliding ?!	[01:21]
mircea_popescu:	i mean, vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts off vtools_vdiff_sha, whereas vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch sorts right off genesis.	[01:22]
mod6:	<+mircea_popescu> omf they do : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/MOixj/?raw=true << here I think you inadvertantly curled & diffed the same files.	[01:22]
mod6:	this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d'	[01:23]
mod6:	oh wait.	[01:33]
mod6:	there is more going on here.	[01:33]
mod6:	'vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch' is not the only one to be dropped out, so is 'vdiff_sha_static.vpatch' i didn't notice on the first pass.	[01:34]
mircea_popescu:	oh damn i did do the same file. buffer failure.	[01:36]
phf:	http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-09-apr-2018#2419028 << that was already the case in the previous patchset	[01:36]
a111:	Logged on 2018-04-09 05:23 mod6: this is different than what i'm saying. the two distinct vpatches, 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' and 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch', contain the same output, '98ba7212fafa4a61f6d6096f1a2953a67a70fcf185965ed7199a223f6897c9b9f2996d391a3f363282236889413973d0beada0e36d57068549bea672fd110d8d'	[01:36]
* mircea_popescu	is thoroughly confused through the working of his own ineptitude, will need a moment to extract self.	[01:36]
mod6:	phf: i thought last time we encountered a problem like this we dropped out a vpatch, then it was fine.	[01:37]
mod6:	but this time, i dunno wtf is going on here. it's a mess.	[01:37]
mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GKHPS/?raw=true	[01:37]
mod6:	here's where two vpatches have the same outputs for 'xalloc.h'	[01:38]
mod6:	^	[01:38]
douchebag:	Hey is it cool if I invite a friend in here, he's a pretty good chatter and he's a technical dude	[01:38]
mod6:	then both vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch try to use the same input.	[01:38]
phf:	mod6: this might've been encountered before, but i'm talking about the vtools patchset that was there before regrind	[01:38]
douchebag:	He'll join in a moment	[01:39]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 no, listen, i don't see what the problem you see is. so a number of different patches, which are themselves distinct, nevertheless depend on the same version of a file (here, xaloc). this isn't, nor can be a problem and was not a prtoblem before, either.	[01:39]
mod6:	oh, im specifically talking about the patch set from your latest post.	[01:40]
mod6:	umm. well...	[01:40]
mircea_popescu:	as long as the patches don't collide, ie, have the same hash and as long as they're properly chained and signed they should press.	[01:40]
mod6:	this violates rules that we've previously put in place then.	[01:40]
mircea_popescu:	i still don't know why they don't but as far as i can see there isn't an actual problem with his patches or seals.	[01:40]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 which rules ?	[01:40]
mod6:	or it's a side effect of some coding	[01:41]
mod6:	i dunno. ugh.	[01:41]
mod6:	this is why i don't want to write this thing any more.	[01:41]
mod6:	so tired of fucking with v.	[01:41]
mod6:	can't even get anything else done, all i do is V. audit peoples shit.	[01:41]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 but specifically as to the point, can you see why v.pl spits out that error message there ? am i right in reading the script as "if the file is not found by name" ?	[01:41]
mod6:	etc etc etc.	[01:41]
mod6:	this is getting SUPER old.	[01:41]
mircea_popescu:	well the hope is that eventually we iron out all the edges...	[01:42]
mod6:	i don't think im the right person for this.	[01:42]
mod6:	someone else now needs to step up and write a V.	[01:42]
mod6:	im done with this thing.	[01:42]
mircea_popescu:	death("HEAD: $press[1] not found in flow\n") if !grep /^$press[1]$/, @flow << this specifically. how can it fail if it lists the item in flow ?	[01:43]
mod6:	it isn't in the flow. that's the problem.	[01:43]
mod6:	these vpatches are thrown out as they fail a previous check.	[01:44]
mircea_popescu:	oh oh i see!	[01:44]
mod6:	I added a debugging line:	[01:45]
mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/R65oM/?raw=true	[01:45]
mod6:	see, "removed"	[01:45]
mod6:	this was removed in the "ante_check"	[01:45]
mod6:	*these were removed in the "ante_check" subroutine	[01:45]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 ok here's what i don't understand : for some reason the "flow" goes from vtools_vpatch, which is in the keccak line, to vdiff_sha_fixes, which is in the other line (sha line).	[01:47]
mircea_popescu:	this makes no sense. basically it goes 5 steps down the keccak tree and then jumps to step 1 and 2 on the sha tree.	[01:47]
mod6:	well, i dunno.	[01:48]
mod6:	i need to call it a night.	[01:48]
mircea_popescu:	sleep tight. best case, we figure it out by morn.	[01:48]
phf:	i can only say that i think that btcbase presser is doing the same thing, with the "5 steps down keccak and 2 steps down sha", but the grapher doesn't. i think grapher uses more Graph Theory, but i neither remember what the difference is, nor can i debug it now (was about to go to sleep myself)	[01:51]
mircea_popescu:	phf it's incomprehensible to me as the manifest.txt varies wildly.	[01:51]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, it's not an emergency, sleep tight also we see tomorro	[01:52]
mircea_popescu:	douchebag sure.	[01:58]
douchebag:	.Alright	[02:00]
phf:	here's a potentially useful picture for those who want to meditate on the antecedent graph, http://btcbase.org/data/vtools/graph-with-hunks.svg it shows individual hunk linkages though unlabeled	[02:05]
douchebag:	!!up ckang	[02:15]

douchebag:	I've known this guy for awhile now, mainly discuss technical topics and such with him	[02:16]
douchebag:	He seemed curious to see what this place is about after discussing this	[02:17]
ckang:	ive heard stories about this place and decided i needed to see it for myself	[02:17]
ckang:	to an outsider it is a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it	[02:18]
mircea_popescu:	hello	[02:30]
mircea_popescu:	phf oh! it tries to press vdiff_sha / etc because they're actually a dependency for tohex ?! why did you write it this way ?	[02:31]
mircea_popescu:	vtools_fixes_static_tohex shouldn't depend on anything from vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc.	[02:31]
mircea_popescu:	that's the fucking problem! the vtools_fixes_static_tohex uses xalloc.h 98BA when it should instead use its own line (earlier) version of C89B.	[02:34]
mircea_popescu:	ckang are you the guy with the gopher stuff / suckless morphing ?	[02:35]
ckang:	oh, no :)	[02:36]
mircea_popescu:	so what do you do ?	[02:36]
ckang:	I have used the suckless irc bot though	[02:36]
ckang:	i do security research	[02:37]
mircea_popescu:	ah, liek webstuff and so forth ?	[02:37]
ckang:	i guess that is a big vague though, i poke things until they break	[02:37]

ckang:	oh, I think I need to be unvoiced, says I cant myself yet	[02:39]
mircea_popescu:	takes a minute.	[02:39]
ckang:	douchebag mentioned some hosting you all where setting up	[02:40]
ckang:	I was wondering if there was any details about that available yet?	[02:40]
mircea_popescu:	ckang BingoBoingo is in uruguay building the pizarro.isp see pizarroisp.net and you know,	[02:42]
mircea_popescu:	!#s "pizarro"	[02:42]

mircea_popescu:	well, talk to ben_vulpes not enough machines yet, but yes, more being shipped	[02:57]
ckang:	i have machines, just need ping/power/pipe	[02:59]
ckang:	and a place that doesn't care about DMCA	[03:00]

mircea_popescu:	though getting gear into paraguay is a little finnicky.	[03:00]
ckang:	import duties ? or shady customs officers ?	[03:01]
mircea_popescu:	read the log, they had a whole thing recently with like 100kgs worth of various shit.	[03:05]
shinohai:	http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794417 <<< read through last night's log, and got same behaviour (unsurprisingly) ... used own personal copy of mod6's V and tested with one from foundation as well, equal results.	[09:30]
a111:	Logged on 2018-04-09 04:25 hanbot: phf et al: attempted to press latest vtools to the keccak head. v (mod6's) reports vtools_vpatch_newline not in flow, neither its antecedent vtools_fixes_static_tohex, despite both patches and (verified good) sigs present (they neither show up via flow command). v will press to vtools_vpatch.vpatch, but no further. see http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/oNRhE/?raw=true .	[09:30]
shinohai:	Will be happy to serve as extra set of eyes if you want to dig further mod6	[09:30]
asciilifeform:	mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794439 >> i got totally different result, using your v.pl : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/EixkY/?raw=true	[09:53]

asciilifeform:	mod6: my old v99, however, gives eggog: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/5hA4U/?raw=true	[09:55]
asciilifeform:	( it does this for ben_vulpes's most recent key also. i still do not know why. )	[09:55]
phf:	http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794530 << you can see two lines going into vtools_fixes_static_tohex, one from vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc and another from vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc. they are both from 98BA and either should satisfy the requirement. the other two lines in are from vtools_vpatch only for 7EBF and 02A0.	[09:56]
a111:	Logged on 2018-04-09 06:34 mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem! the vtools_fixes_static_tohex uses xalloc.h 98BA when it should instead use its own line (earlier) version of C89B.	[09:56]
phf:	antecedent graph != requirement graph	[09:59]
mod6:	I have no fucking idea what is going on. alf - that's really weird. im using the following patches/seals, and I'm getting this: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RrM1h/?raw=true	[10:10]
mod6:	I don't have time to debug this shit now. but at some point I'll have to actually look at this project and try to figure out what the graph is ~supposed~ to look like and why my V chokes on it.	[10:11]
mod6:	Someone needs to write and maintain a proper V for the republic.	[10:12]
mod6:	It sucks up way to much of my time.	[10:12]
asciilifeform:	mod6: it probably does not help that one has to hand-click 22 times to download this set. possibly you missed one?	[10:16]
mod6:	I'm hoping that phf will look at my latest link and audit that for me. I've pulled everything from : http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak-regrind/	[10:17]
mod6:	I could have missed one, indeed.	[10:17]
phf:	mod6: all are there	[10:18]
mod6:	yeah, im not sure wtf.	[10:18]
asciilifeform:	hmm looks like it	[10:18]
mod6:	there is a reason that those two vpatches are being thrown out.	[10:19]
mod6:	i need to do a deep debugging session to figure out the root cause.	[10:19]
mod6:	no time now.	[10:19]
mircea_popescu:	omg i just pointed out the cause : he links the wrong version of xalloc	[10:19]
phf:	mircea_popescu: did you see my response	[10:20]
mircea_popescu:	http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794582 ?	[10:20]
a111:	Logged on 2018-04-09 13:59 phf: antecedent graph != requirement graph	[10:20]
phf:	the one before that	[10:20]
mod6:	I suspect that is the problem with the rules.	[10:21]
mircea_popescu:	phf i looked at the patch itself.	[10:21]
mod6:	Before we said "all antecedents must be present for a descendant to be in the flow".	[10:21]
mircea_popescu:	lemme reload all this pile of stuff here, i closed it all last night.	[10:21]
mod6:	So made routines that do just that. There almost certainly is not a built in case where two antecedents have the same output hashes and can use a single in that csae.	[10:22]
mod6:	If you understand my meaning. I.e. I would need to add an exception to the rule for that.	[10:22]
mod6:	asciilifeform: out of curiosity, what version of my V are you using?	[10:27]
mircea_popescu:	well now i can't fucking reproduce it at all.	[10:27]
BingoBoingo:	<mircea_popescu> textile engineering !? << You know... Applied HAIR THEORY!	[10:27]
mircea_popescu:	phf what is the vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc link to vtools_fixes_static_tohex ? as now apparently the two patches are entirely disjunct, did you update or something ?	[10:28]
phf:	mircea_popescu: that's one of the 98BA's	[10:29]
phf:	http://btcbase.org/hash/98BA7212FAFA4A61F6D6096F1A2953A67A70FCF185965ED7199A223F6897C9B9F2996D391A3F363282236889413973D0BEADA0E36D57068549BEA672FD110D8D you can see here who produces it and who consumes it	[10:30]
mircea_popescu:	a right. hanbot do me a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?	[10:31]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 i suspect we ran into a novel situation : if there's ambiguous file usage in multi-head bundles, v panics.	[10:32]
mircea_popescu:	(which is not even wrong, as the serial application of patches from different branches can result in a messed up codebase but it could be more verbose about what happened)	[10:33]
mod6:	yeah, totally.	[10:34]
mod6:	alf already instructed me a number of months ago to be more verbose about failures. I didn't get that done as much on the last release as I was trying to limit the scope to the last change for the press-paths.	[10:35]
mod6:	So indeed, better failure messages are needed. And if we're going to allow this type of strange project structures, that'll have to get built into the rules.	[10:35]
mircea_popescu:	it's not directly clear just ~how~ it could be more verbose here, seeing how it doesn't magically know all the "meanings" we associate to the patches themselves.	[10:35]
hanbot:	mircea_popescu: on it	[10:36]
mod6:	mircea_popescu: well, for instance, it would be nice if I'd have put a statement in the release version that yells when it throws a vpatch out for rule breakage.	[10:36]
mircea_popescu:	wouldn't have gained us anything here, it'd just have pointed to vtools_fixes_static_tohex, but we pretty much knew that one is where it dies anyway.	[10:37]
mod6:	in this case, it throws out: vdiff_sha_static.vpatch and vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch	[10:37]
mod6:	yeah, this is true too.	[10:37]
mod6:	mircea_popescu: i can try the leftmost trunck on phf's viewer, but not right this minute. maybe in a few hours. i'm pinned down in the mud. gotta kill the guy in the pillbox first.	[10:38]
mircea_popescu:	no, what it should do is yell "alternate paths to press $vtools_fixes_static_tohex.vpatch requirement $x.alloc : $vtools+patch and $vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc."	[10:39]

mod6:	asciilifeform: ahhhh interesting, thanks for reporting.	[10:39]
hanbot:	mircea_popescu flow thusly shows genesis only: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/VVZTX/?raw=true	[10:39]
mod6:	mircea_popescu: solid plan. i can add something like that perhaps when alternate paths are detected.	[10:40]
mircea_popescu:	which is a useful warning, because in principle if $1 and $2 could both delivered wanted $file, but the author intended for $1 to be used, $2 might produce different $otherfile than author needed, and then you can't press because your hashes no longer match downstream"	[10:40]
mircea_popescu:	hanbot you're missing one.	[10:40]
mircea_popescu:	vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc	[10:41]
hanbot:	pff sorry.	[10:41]
hanbot:	right, correct patchset on the left then presses + flows to vtools_vpatch_newline	[10:43]
mircea_popescu:	aha!	[10:44]
phf:	fwiw there's no ambiguity in the patchset, the dependency graph _is constrained_. but you can't make that constraint rule based, you can e.g. discover that constraint by walking the graph while keeping the track of the checksums of the press (i suspect there's a smarter graph theoretical way of doing it, but a "press walk" is the easiest).	[10:44]
phf:	obviously that works because btcbase produces the correct dependency graph	[10:44]
mircea_popescu:	yeah. so on one hand indeed the problem was as suspected but on the other hand phf is correct and yes the graph IS constrained.	[10:44]
mircea_popescu:	phf i guess next on your plate is make a prototype proper grapher for all time ? then mod6 can put that in v and avoid further such wtfs.	[10:45]
mircea_popescu:	the easiest press walk may in principle become very VERY expensive on large enough projects (in terms of the bitcoin blockchain large, 6 digit patches with 1-3 digit files included each it'd be a true unassailable nightmare). but then again it also bakes in some incentive to NOT DO THAT.	[10:54]

"kinda what a gui is" "every button will have to be specified, as to location, as to..." "just get on with it" "6mb, will that be cash or check on other people's time ?" "motherfucker..."	[11:01]

phf:	well, i download the 9gb versions, and have a script that keeps only one specific audio track. the whole thing is a semi manual process though, since i have to select the right track by ear, etc.	[12:48]

mircea_popescu:	ckanggirl here : http://trilema.com/2017/galati-yachting/ buncha moar travelpics in that category.	[19:04]
ckanggirl:	but as they say, hindsight is always 20/20	[19:04]
mircea_popescu:	yo ckang , voice yourself baby.	[19:04]
ckanggirl:	wish i had 20/20 foresight haha	[19:04]
mircea_popescu:	ckanggirl i find your fore...sight perfectly acceptable.	[19:05]
ckanggirl:	he stepped out for a bit to get some dinner i think	[19:05]
mircea_popescu:	!!up cassidy3	[19:05]
deedbot:	cassidy3 voiced for 30 minutes.	[19:05]
mircea_popescu:	ckang what's ecclectic mean, anyway ?	[19:06]
ckanggirl:	omg, i love the turtles!	[19:06]
ckanggirl:	so cute	[19:06]
mircea_popescu:	very!	[19:06]
ckanggirl:	eclectic as in, taste that doesnt necessarily fall in line with the rest of society	[19:07]
mircea_popescu:	i thought that was simply having any taste whatsoever.	[19:07]
ckanggirl:	subjective )	[19:07]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, eclectic is an english calc of the greek word for "choosing". it's a selection of the best of everything.	[19:08]
ckanggirl:	is that you at the top of the page? love beards	[19:08]
mircea_popescu:	yeah, that's me. changes every day though.	[19:09]
ckanggirl:	most boys ive gone out with, couldn't get close to being able to grow such a thing	[19:09]
mircea_popescu:	somehow i've been blessed with an epic beard.	[19:10]
mircea_popescu:	must be teh wisdom.	[19:10]
ckanggirl:	one tried and it just looked like his face was constantly dirty lol, i made him shave it	[19:10]
mircea_popescu:	yeah, not a good look, the boyish beard.	[19:11]
ckanggirl:	i cant stop looking at the little turtles	[19:11]
ckanggirl:	adorable	[19:11]
mircea_popescu:	you know i actually had them in my hands! they're the cutest thing, sorta lift head to see where water is, then lower it again and push push push. evidently hard work.	[19:12]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, it's one of those few things where nothing beats being there.	[19:12]
mircea_popescu:	ckanggirl try it now, say !!up to deedbot	[19:12]
mircea_popescu:	hey check you out!	[19:14]
mircea_popescu:	are you like smart or something ?	[19:14]
ckanggirl:	had to ask douchebag for help p	[19:14]
ckanggirl:	I wouldnt have figured that out	[19:14]
mircea_popescu:	amusingly, a guy named douchebag is like, one of the most noob-helping guys around! misleading name!	[19:15]
ckanggirl:	yea douchebag is around some of the same places, seems like a good guy	[19:15]
douchebag:	haha	[19:15]
ckanggirl:	with as big as the internet is, funny how we run across the same people so much	[19:16]
mircea_popescu:	it's not really that big.	[19:16]
douchebag:	^	[19:16]
ckanggirl:	i suppose areas of interest kind of dictate the little 'cliques'	[19:17]
mircea_popescu:	i thought he was only interested in breaking shit up. and i guess nowadays a newfound interest in tits.	[19:18]
ckanggirl:	ive never heard of such a thing	[19:18]
mircea_popescu:	which ?	[19:18]
ckanggirl:	bitcoin billionaires, paying for #s written on boobs lol	[19:19]
mircea_popescu:	years ago some guy made 10 bitcoin for shoving a sharpie up his butt	[19:19]
ckanggirl:	i wouldnt have believed it until douchebag vouched	[19:19]
ckanggirl:	lol, ive had guys do that free hah	[19:19]
ckanggirl:	silly boys	[19:19]
douchebag:	like I always said, "big ass titties"	[19:20]
mircea_popescu:	it was all an elaborate in-joke, there was this pantsuit collective (something awful) calling it "buttcoin"	[19:20]
mircea_popescu:	so... well...	[19:20]
ckanggirl:	i bet that 'yhbt' felt good in the end	[19:20]
mircea_popescu:	depends for whom lol.	[19:21]
mircea_popescu:	afaik they're still butthurt over the whole thing.	[19:21]
ckanggirl:	he may have enjoyed it a little too	[19:21]
mircea_popescu:	i'm sure.	[19:21]
douchebag:	must have been an awfully big sharpie if they're still butthurt	[19:21]
ckanggirl:	i remember the whole butt sharpie phase	[19:22]
ckanggirl:	now i guess kids are back to snorting condoms	[19:22]

mod6:	Well, I've implemented a better check there in the 'ante_check' subroutine. And I was gonna mess with it a bit more, but when I went to press the shorter of the two paths (visible at http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=vtools ), I ran into a press problem.	[19:29]
mircea_popescu:	aha.	[19:29]
mod6:	Then I went ahead and tried to manually patch these files together, first 'vtools_genesis.vpatch', then 'vtools_vdiff_sha.vpatch', then 'vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc', and this is what I'm seeing:	[19:30]

mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/3ujyM/?raw=true	[19:30]
mod6:	heheh, sorry for the double post. This tho ^	[19:30]
mircea_popescu:	not directly evident why this is problematic ?	[19:31]
mircea_popescu:	ah manifest fails	[19:31]
mod6:	no! not even using vtronics at all. just a good ole fashion by hand patch application.	[19:31]
mod6:	i believe that I am patching in the correct order. not only validated by the link to btcbase.org/patches above, but also the same press path is given from my v.	[19:32]
mod6:	phf: what am I missing here?	[19:32]
mod6:	anyway, my apologies for the interruption. please continue.	[19:33]
mircea_popescu:	lmao.	[19:33]
* mircea_popescu	is slightly disappointed nobody asked what "vap" stands for.	[19:33]

douchebag:	i was actually wondering	[19:35]

ckanggirl:	mircea_popescu: i have to run out for a bit, thanks for the chat and ill see whats involved in getting my passport renewed if you are serious :O	[20:03]
ckanggirl:	bye yall!	[20:05]
phf:	http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1795123 << you can't press vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc on top of vtools_vdiff_sha, because there's a bunch of patches in between. manifest is getting rejected, because manifest specifically enforces order. if you try pressing them in order, i.e. the left column from genesis http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=vtools it will work	[20:06]

* asciilifeform	confesses to not yet grasping the mechanics of this	[20:24]
asciilifeform:	how was phf's v9995-choking patch set , created ?	[20:25]
phf:	by diffing two folders together, there's no magic there	[20:25]
asciilifeform:	then why does mod6's vtron barf	[20:25]
phf:	is that a rhetorical question?	[20:28]
asciilifeform:	nope	[20:29]
asciilifeform:	trying to eat that log presently	[20:29]
mod6:	woah. wait.	[20:50]
douchebag:	wot	[20:51]
mod6:	phf: so the graph at http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=vtools is incorrect then?	[20:51]
mod6:	i've put in a little fix for my 'check_ante' subroutine, but by what you're saying, this isn't correct then either (for press-path):	[20:54]
mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wIaed/?raw=true	[20:54]
mod6:	ok here's the graph I generated: http://www.mod6.net/2018/April/10/vtools_graph.html	[21:02]
mod6:	this is a megapuzzler.	[21:07]
phf:	mod6: the graph is correct. you have a patch chain A B C D E, you're trying to apply A B E. E is going to fail because you didn't apply C D	[21:10]
mod6:	what i'm trying to get at is, if I follow the patch order in here (the first pp command), it is incorrect, for some reason: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wIaed/?raw=true	[21:11]
mod6:	if I press either path, i blow up on the manifest.	[21:12]
* mod6	scratches head	[21:15]
spyked:	mircea_popescu, crap, apologies for the mess on trilema, I have no idea why it gets cut off. I'll try to repost the comment tomorrow	[21:18]
phf:	mod6: the graph on btcbase vtools is the only way it can possibly press. either the left branch or the right branch. changing the order, or introducing the patches from left into right, or right into left is going to break manifest.	[21:21]
mod6:	phf: i patched by hand in the order shown on the right path of your graph: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/3ujyM/?raw=true	[21:23]
phf:	mod6: are you trying to press the left hand or the right hand?	[21:24]
mod6:	right hand	[21:24]
mod6:	vtools_genesis.vpatch -> vtools_vdiff_sha.vpatch -> vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch	[21:25]
phf:	then instead of vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc you should be applying vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc	[21:25]
mod6:	err crap	[21:26]
mod6:	ok the damn file names are so similar im getting confused.	[21:26]
mod6:	ok, so in that case: vtools_genesis.vpatch -> vtools_vdiff_sha.vpatch -> vdiff_sha_fixes_newline_gcc	[21:26]
mod6:	lemme do that quick.	[21:26]
mod6:	http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AVFdI/?raw=true << ok that works. but my vtron chokes on this patch set -- mis-orders the press path, for some reason I still don't understand yet.	[21:31]

mircea_popescu:	ckang has what been voided ?	[21:52]

mircea_popescu:	sarah443 87a1f8ad	[21:52]
mod6:	phf: ahh, ok now im looking at your graph, my graph, and my press path. your right path does ~NOT~ contain 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch'. My press path does.	[21:52]
sarah443:	[Xⁱⁱⁱ]	[21:52]
mod6:	I believe what might be happening here is that my traversal follows all edges, where as yours does something different perhaps	[21:53]
mircea_popescu:	phf any chance logotron might replace unicode barf with the "unicode name" ?	[21:53]
mod6:	my vtron pulls in 'vdiff_fixes_newline_gcc.vpatch' because it is an antecedent of 'vdiff_sha_static.vpatch' : http://www.mod6.net/2018/April/10/vtools_graph.html	[21:54]
mircea_popescu:	mod6 i thought you didn't want to fuck with this anymore, in which case could just wait for him to finish and publish his grapher. or is it fun ?	[21:54]
mod6:	lol, well i don't wanna have to fuck with it. and it's not exactly fun. but i really can't stop either.	[21:55]
mod6:	i think i have dane bramage.	[21:55]
mircea_popescu:	eh, relax, for all practical purposes we have this in hand, hanbot managed to press her press. it's not an emergency.	[21:55]
mod6:	alright, i have a drive to get to the bottom of things. will back off.	[21:56]
mircea_popescu:	it's nice and good, if it's pleasurable, or needful. but if it's neither don't drive yourself batty out of sheer masochism.	[21:56]
mod6:	no worries. thanks Mr. P.	[21:56]
phf:	mircea_popescu: i believe the only way to identify unicode barf is by maintaining or downloading explicit lists. we have legitimate unicode barf, so blanket replacement isn't going to work	[21:57]

mircea_popescu:	phf could we maintain explicit lists of permitted unicrap, such as arabic and chinese ? and rape the rest ?	[22:02]
mircea_popescu:	half my googling today has been "wtf did she just say to me ?"	[22:03]

mircea_popescu:	where the fuck is the "queer" modifier anyway. you can say "nigger washingmachine judge" but you can't say "faggot judge" ? what's this, fellow traveller disenfranchisement ?	[22:08]
phf:	jeez i don't even know how to work with this soup in sbcl, that woman judge entry translates to, i shit you not, the following sequence of sbcl character names: ("WOMAN" "U1F3FE" "ZERO_WIDTH_JOINER" "SCALES" "VARIATION_SELECTOR-16")	[22:08]

mircea_popescu:	trilema does this for footnotes by setting the "title" attribute on a tag, but i imagine same can be done with a div ?	[22:23]

ckang:	mircea_popescu: I was thinking more deep web	[22:41]
mircea_popescu:	phf pretty good neh ?	[22:41]
ckang:	Not really love drama	[22:41]
mircea_popescu:	ckang hey, if you ever find anything interesting i'm all ears.	[22:42]
phf:	yeah i like it, 9 lines of code	[22:42]
ckang:	As far as hidden sites go?	[22:42]
mircea_popescu:	splendid.	[22:42]
mircea_popescu:	ckang the republic's always looking for folk that aren't out and out imbeciles.	[22:42]
mircea_popescu:	iirc douchebag ended up here as a result of danielpbarron saying something in some what was it, free radio movement chat ?	[22:43]
ckang:	!!up sarah443	[22:44]
deedbot:	sarah443 voiced for 30 minutes.	[22:44]
sarah443:	ty )	[22:44]
sarah443:	ckang is always finding some nasty snuff sites and linking them	[22:45]
mircea_popescu:	!#s from:mircea "tumblr"	[22:45]
a111:	2417 results for "from:mircea \"tumblr\"", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea%20%22tumblr%22	[22:45]
sarah443:	I would like to do more like offensive sort of research	[22:45]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 how's offensive research go ?	[22:46]
ckang:	yea the child predator stuff is kind of odd IMO	[22:46]
ckang:	since it seems like they sorta bait people	[22:46]
ckang:	ive only seen a few eps though, not sure how they actually do it	[22:46]
sarah443:	They actually use bots to troll people into talking with them and chat analysis	[22:47]
mircea_popescu:	ckang structure determines content and all that. once you try to go in the "i can't believe" bla bla format, you'll be producing the repsective content.	[22:48]
sarah443:	mircea_popescu: I guess a more proactive approach, most stuff is counter active, post mortems	[22:48]
sarah443:	If that makes sense?	[22:48]
mircea_popescu:	not exactly. got an example ?	[22:48]
sarah443:	Well say a site is hacked, the group leaves their tag somewhere.	[22:49]
mircea_popescu:	not usually.	[22:49]
sarah443:	I want to be in these groups, not as law enforcement.	[22:49]
sarah443:	but more so boots on the ground for the industry	[22:49]
sarah443:	Whichever it may be, counterfieting stuff has always seemed interesting	[22:50]
sarah443:	China is incredible at some of the stuff they do with that	[22:50]
ckang:	lol, I got a chinese knife	[22:50]
mircea_popescu:	umh. counterfeiting as in, pucci bags and whatnot ?	[22:50]
ckang:	it was 1/10th the price of the original	[22:50]
ckang:	same materials, box, etc	[22:51]

a111:	Logged on 2017-07-13 18:42 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally : the pineapple hacking device is this chinese blade i bought on a lark. turns out it's the best steel i own / have seen in a long while.	[22:51]
mircea_popescu:	they improved significantly.	[22:51]
ckang:	having owned the fake & original you could barely tell the difference	[22:51]
ckang:	the good mfgs will use D2 steel and such	[22:51]
ckang:	but yea agreed most stuff is 100% garbage	[22:52]
sarah443:	There are whole portions of the internet that are pretty much China only. ecommerce wise.	[22:53]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 ok, and it's a living, tenuous and marginal as it may be, buy shit in china resell it in the states. but how's this relate to website defacing ?	[22:53]
ckang:	the lengths they go through to counterfeit is pretty wild	[22:54]
sarah443:	mircea_popescu: It depends on the attack	[22:54]
sarah443:	Remember back during the anon/lulzsec days?	[22:54]
mircea_popescu:	yes ?	[22:55]
sarah443:	That was all about being vocal, "we did it, so what?"	[22:55]
mircea_popescu:	mmm	[22:55]
mircea_popescu:	this is a very... perception-driven approach to the events.	[22:55]
sarah443:	The social justice hackers, that was a bad example	[22:55]
sarah443:	But I don't want to just look over past things and try to figure things out, I want to be there before anything happens	[22:56]
mircea_popescu:	well, are you familiar with computer arcana ?	[22:56]
sarah443:	Just for a journalistic point, I can't work for law enforcement	[22:57]
sarah443:	Im not, arcana is like magic?	[22:57]
mircea_popescu:	well, technically arcana denotes finnicky, complicated and not directly obvious points.	[22:58]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, if you don't understand computers, how would you "be there" "before anything happens" ?	[22:58]
sarah443:	I was thinking arcane :)	[22:58]
mircea_popescu:	sure, arcana is the noun of arcane.	[22:58]
sarah443:	Well theres movements taking place that eventually will become bigger deals	[22:59]
mircea_popescu:	or become nothing at all.	[22:59]
sarah443:	In the political communities	[22:59]
mircea_popescu:	but do you then have a journalistic platform, like, working relationships with many/most publishers ?	[23:00]
sarah443:	You have 2 extremes	[23:00]
mircea_popescu:	yes.	[23:00]
mircea_popescu:	i'm an extremist after all. gotta keep up the standards.	[23:00]
sarah443:	Working with publishers, but I was thinking about maybe doing web editorials. I like the quick turn around time on that media and distribution	[23:01]
sarah443:	like Motherboard puts out some interesting reads sometimes	[23:01]
mircea_popescu:	it doesn't help your cause that online media is just about dead.	[23:01]
sarah443:	The entire darknet market thing was something I really wanted to delv into	[23:02]
sarah443:	Super interesting but its being forced further underground	[23:02]
lobbes:	not much there, I reckon. usg honeypots	[23:02]
sarah443:	Some of the research they did on them was pretty interesting, like quality of drugs for example	[23:03]
sarah443:	Was typically way better	[23:03]
mircea_popescu:	nobody's forcing anything anywhere the "darknet" bla bla is "being forced underground" in the exact sense the previous emo generation was "being forced into the closet".	[23:03]
sarah443:	Well, its more so the government cracking down and people get spooked I suppose	[23:03]
sarah443:	I folllow deepdotweb on twitter and they have some good articles sometimes	[23:04]
mircea_popescu:	spooked my foot, when we looked through the smoldering pile left after that idiot ross, it came to light ~nobody was using rsa.	[23:04]
sarah443:	Yeah amazing how others repeat the mistakes the previous iteration.	[23:05]
sarah443:	Its almost like planning the perfect murder lol	[23:05]
sarah443:	You see those shows and think, "oh, I wouldnt screw that up"	[23:05]
mircea_popescu:	eh. the quality of police work has so terribly degraded in the past half century, if anyone does ANY PLANNING AT ALL it's a murder that'll never get solved.	[23:06]
mircea_popescu:	half the ones with 0 planning also make the cut.	[23:06]
sarah443:	The police are a joke, if you have ever seen that show 'First 48'	[23:06]
sarah443:	Its pretty obvious how little they know but try to make people think they do.	[23:06]
mircea_popescu:	i don't really watch tv.	[23:07]
sarah443:	Same, don't have cable anymore, got to the point where I didn't even use it.	[23:07]
mircea_popescu:	but i do get court report summaries and all sorts of other things.	[23:07]
sarah443:	I love PACER	[23:08]
sarah443:	Can get lost for hours looking through stuff sometimes.	[23:08]
mircea_popescu:	so why not make a blog, publish summaries ?	[23:09]
sarah443:	I follow little niche stories and try to keep the respective communities up to date on the happenings.	[23:09]
sarah443:	They dont see the mainstream media or any other outlet so they would go undocumented otherwise	[23:10]
mircea_popescu:	yes, but your problem is that if you don't build either your skill or your platform, you will get absolutely nowhere.	[23:10]
sarah443:	My skills are more in sleuthing than writing	[23:11]
mircea_popescu:	there's a fundamental difference between "i am sarah and i have a kid to feed" and "i am sarah, and i can put your words before 1mn social media nobodies" or "i'm publish weekly in every porn mag there is" or whatever.	[23:11]
sarah443:	Yea that would be a good gig, writing interesting short but digestible articles.	[23:12]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 that's unfortunate, very bright minds were on the record complainign there's no good market for sleuthing for fundamental reasons. like http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-13#1237185	[23:12]
a111:	Logged on 2015-08-13 16:38 asciilifeform: the point i was trying to make is that: i hypothesize that the '0day market' consists very largely of folks who are sitting on 0day and not 'marketing' at all	[23:12]
danielpbarron:	http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-10#1795309 << l0de radio hour, i called in and donated 0.054 via deedbot which was 800 USD at the time, which has become a sort of meme on his show now	[23:12]
a111:	Logged on 2018-04-10 02:43 mircea_popescu: iirc douchebag ended up here as a result of danielpbarron saying something in some what was it, free radio movement chat ?	[23:12]
sarah443:	Im pretty ADD	[23:12]
mircea_popescu:	i did not necessarily agree with him, but that dun make his words go away	[23:12]
mircea_popescu:	danielpbarron a right, i recall now.	[23:13]
mircea_popescu:	pretty cool huh.	[23:13]
sarah443:	The 0day market is very interesting too	[23:13]
sarah443:	I wish I had a company paying me to buy that stuff for research, that would be a fun job :)	[23:14]
lobbes:	sarah443, have you checked out Qntra, btw? you may enjoy	[23:14]
lobbes:	!!up sarah443	[23:14]
deedbot:	sarah443 voiced for 30 minutes.	[23:14]
danielpbarron:	the mtw guy who handled the money for him is currently in huge legal trouble, something about stealing millions of USD from dell computers i think	[23:14]
mircea_popescu:	"i wish there were someone paying for what i want to do" is a terrible way to waste a life.	[23:14]
sarah443:	I haven't, what is it? Googling now, on phone	[23:14]
mircea_popescu:	danielpbarron o.O link or something ?	[23:15]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 qntra.net	[23:16]

mircea_popescu:	qntra has a twitter feed ?!	[23:16]
sarah443:	The content I mean, its interesting	[23:17]
sarah443:	Oh, was that a different qntra?	[23:17]
sarah443:	https://twitter.com/qntra	[23:17]
mircea_popescu:	holy shit look at that. wtf, twitter's going to the dogs, they've not banned BingoBoingo ?!	[23:18]

mircea_popescu:	lol	[23:24]
sarah443:	He must be doing okay if hes out.	[23:24]
phf:	that's a right and proper bouncer, if you can do 10 years or whatever, come out, and get your logs out of it	[23:24]
mircea_popescu:	mirccloud ?	[23:25]
phf:	hehe	[23:25]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, it all revolves on whether they can steal the money back or not. if they can't, they're on their knees begging. with some limited negotiation ability can get to keep a third or so and walk.	[23:26]
mircea_popescu:	if they can steal it back however, you're fucked.	[23:26]
sarah443:	Yeah, crimes of this nature they want restitution not jail.	[23:26]
sarah443:	Spend X a year keeping someone locked up, or bleed them dry of everything they own...	[23:27]
mircea_popescu:	brings us right back to http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth/	[23:27]

mircea_popescu:	ty danielpbarron	[23:28]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 terrible.	[23:28]
trinque:	ah man, dark web and UBI	[23:28]
sarah443:	Its incredible the range of answers I get on that )	[23:29]
lobbes:	btw phf I'm digging the unicode hovers in btcbase	[23:29]
trinque:	sarah443: you should just go strip in the valley, marry some startup cuck, end up with half his shares in nothing. ah nevermind.	[23:29]
mircea_popescu:	that's a point. where do you live sarah443 ?	[23:30]
trinque:	mircea_popescu: ack on msg	[23:30]

sarah443:	mircea_popescu: Florida	[23:30]
sarah443:	Most of my friends in Cali are trying to leave though so that should tell me something	[23:31]
mircea_popescu:	it's not a bad plan, go to SF for a week, join all the events, from bdsm munches to apple hackathon day, and just doe eye one or two dweebs per. then suck cock like your life depends on it, and then get married.	[23:31]
phf:	lobbes: ty, i'm messing with it, i added proper romanization for cyrillic, since it comes up so much. e.g. комсомольская правда! becomes "komsomol'skaja pravda!"	[23:31]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 it should tell you this : they're idiots. gotta do the work.	[23:32]
sarah443:	Haha :) Ive done that for free	[23:32]
mircea_popescu:	sarah443 yes, but you did it stupidly. as marylin points out : it tastes the same when it comes out of a multi-mn cock.	[23:32]
sarah443:	Guess im the idiot	[23:32]
trinque:	I'm just saying, similar word salad seems to have swallowed Framedragger whole	[23:33]
mircea_popescu:	the key elements are a) high net worth dweebs, not the sorta guys you meet at raves and b) utter abjection, none of that "i'm a person and i have rights" bullcrap.	[23:33]
trinque:	arguably bright dood, even	[23:33]
mircea_popescu:	the time for that is in divorce court.	[23:33]
sarah443:	mircea_popescu: a lot of them, are hard to 'bond' with	[23:33]
sarah443:	Very shelled/walled off	[23:33]
mircea_popescu:	everyone's easy to bond with if you don't think you're about anything else than bonding.	[23:33]
mircea_popescu:	that's how puppies got so popular.	[23:34]
sarah443:	Yeah, some chemical confidence may help them too	[23:34]
mircea_popescu:	anyway, sure there may be one or two 16yo http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ 's out there. but there's well over 100k dweebs worth over 1mn in paper. out of the money they waste on rent you can buy a farm in the transvaal and enjoy free weekly gangbangs for the rest of your life.	[23:36]
mircea_popescu:	"His notariety began seven years ago when he was arrested at a video game convention in Boston and accused of pirating $6 million in game code that was derived from a system used to train CIA agents for combat. May agreed to a Boston judges offer for pretrial probation in exchange for a dismissal of his case." << equivalency degree spelling aside, check out this guy!	[23:37]
mircea_popescu:	why don't people say THAT when BingoBoingo goes "who's yo daddy" ? one helluva intro.	[23:37]
sarah443:	Im really curious to see what comes out of the newly found crypto wealth kids	[23:37]
sarah443:	Every week you see a news story about that happening to some kid	[23:38]
mircea_popescu:	lol.	[23:38]
