| wumpus | <sipa> well, to be honest, i do wish i had taken electrical engineering (the department under which the cryptography research group is located) instead of computer science (where i didn't actually learn all that much useful) <- same here, though the grass does always look greener at the other side. I think practically I made the right choice going for CS, but it's hardly the most interesting thing to study. A lot of it is too | 04:07 |
|---|---|---|
| wumpus | much like fashion and delusions-of-the-day too little like science. | 04:07 |
| maaku | too much benchmark-and-publish :\ | 04:15 |
| wumpus | and sometimes it looks like all the interesting work was already done in the 60-70's and we just ended up on some path, adapting along with the technology, cherry-picking old ideas here and there, eventually discarding the other possiblities as they're not economical to get to from here. There's so much software... | 04:16 |

| wumpus | maaku: yes - after all, it must be performant for current hardware and software, but the underlying assumptions change all the time due to small details shifting under you | 04:19 |
| wumpus | sometimes I wish I had chosen something more grounded in physics and laws of nature instead of all the sand castles we're building on top. Then again, hey, at least now I have a job... :-) | 04:21 |
| maaku | wumpus: Engineering Physics was the major I settled on -- best of both worlds :) | 04:22 |

| wumpus | even bitcoin mining is bountyful by comparison :p | 05:07 |
| op_mul | oh. | 05:08 |
| op_mul | I didn't even work out how common they were, I just saw someone had their RFC6979 code have a limit of 1k retries. I assumed it was one in 2^32 or something based on that. | 05:08 |
| wumpus | it compares the 256 bit result against >0 and <0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffbaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141 | 05:11 |
| wumpus | as for slow, IIRC the verification stuff only gets compiled in while compiling the tests | 05:13 |
| op_mul | I meant more time-constant-ness. | 05:13 |
| op_mul | here we go, this is the source of my mis-informed-ness regarding how likely retries are. obvious looking at it now, but I just assumed from the number of retries. https://github.com/trezor/trezor-crypto/blob/795579cbacb5e4bd072d7cef2a2638f1d44c2d0d/ecdsa.c#L282 | 05:15 |
| wumpus | that's a very safe margin | 05:18 |

| petertodd | instagibbs: e.g., are you more useful if you, say, get a physics degree and learn some comp-sci? | 06:17 |

| wumpus | petertodd: well, one sample point, ASML, where I've worked, was big time looking for programmers with physics experience | 06:18 |

| stonecoldpat | petertodd: thats exactly a problem, people who study comp-sci lack another dimension of skills, so students from a physics/mathematics background have an advantage as they have more to offer | 06:18 |

| instagibbs | physics, economics, etc still all use it | 06:20 |

| wumpus | petertodd: well for one they shot themselves in the foot with pointers and buffer overflows all the time - there was high pressure to generate efficient code directly from matlab, but that didn't work very well yet either | 06:22 |
| wumpus | e.g. proprietary, crappy toolchain | 06:22 |
| petertodd | wumpus: ugh, matlab... I remember having to deal with the crazy C and VHDL code it and and Simulink would output... | 06:23 |

| wumpus | there's *lots* of demand for doing efficient, parelelllized where possible, computation but without the burden of memory unsafeness | 06:23 |
| instagibbs | it's a hack of a language | 06:23 |
| instagibbs | If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't drop CS. I would just append something like physics onto my degree | 06:24 |
| petertodd | wumpus: but sadly that entire field is lackign enough actually skilled programmers to build tools to make all that stuff possible :( | 06:24 |
| wumpus | petertodd: yeah :( there was a preojct to push them in the direction of numpy scipy and friends instead | 06:24 |
| instagibbs | (i did foreign languages as my 2nd concentration. While fun it's not very useful in US) | 06:25 |
| petertodd | wumpus: yeah, just before I left there was a company decision to move to numpy/scipy wherever possible. I'm sure that's been semi-rejected, but at least they recognized the problem. | 06:25 |
| petertodd | instagibbs: foreign languages is too specialized to make a good 2nd concentration I think | 06:26 |
| wumpus | which is better than matlab, and a step forward, but doesn't support efficient compilation (without burdensome runtimes) either. But for most, not-entirely-performance-critical parts it's at least safer than writing in C, or exporting C from matlab. | 06:26 |
| instagibbs | petertodd: well it had "nothing" to do with my major... that was kind of the point | 06:26 |
| petertodd | instagibbs: (I mean, if it's going to be useless directly, better take a 2nd concentration that's general like philosophy) | 06:26 |
| instagibbs | petertodd: oh I dunno, it's led to some great life experiences. And indirectly helped when I worked on Natural language processing | 06:27 |
| petertodd | wumpus: well, the route to efficient compilation in numpy is to use cython :) | 06:27 |
| petertodd | instagibbs: ah, well that's an edge case then! - my mom always told me to pay more attention to my french classes back in school because I might meet a nice french girl one day | 06:27 |
| wumpus | petertodd: sure - but with a big custom build system, and a weird architecture (SPARC), integrating new tools wasn't so easy :) | 06:28 |

| kanzure | jrayhawk once described biology like "... there is no source, the bytecode has multiple reentrent abstractions, is unstable and has a very low signal to noise ratio, the runtime is unbootstrappable, the execution is nondeterministic, it tries to randomly integrate and execute code from other computers... multiple reentrant and self-modifying abstractions. absolutely everything has subtle side effects." | 06:37 |
| kanzure | you should all become molecular biologists | 06:37 |
| petertodd | wumpus: not to say you're wrong... just that there isn't an easy way to push any of it forward - you'll always be limited by the necessity of creating solutions that 95% of the programmers out there understand, which means if you have some great idea, you may find you need to do more work on educational materials than actually implementing/developing it | 06:37 |
| wumpus | petertodd: yes but they shift all the time. it's like having to re-learn English every year. | 06:37 |
| wumpus | kanzure: that description makes it sounds really intruiging | 06:38 |
| petertodd | wumpus: indeed, they shift horizontally in a bizzare random walk pattern, where periodically the worker ants get too far from the food source and starve :) | 06:38 |
| kanzure | wumpus: it is quite intriguing. it is frustrating to work with but the results are pretty ridiculously overpowered (lifeforms). | 06:38 |
| op_mul | petertodd: they get into loops, too. big spirals of death that they walk until they all starve and die. | 06:39 |

| wumpus | instagibbs: well my sister studies neurology so I'm not coming from popsci there | 06:46 |
| kanzure | or as anselm levskaya says, "Those of you who have not done biology can't realize how primitive things still are.

| kanzure | petertodd: well they use patch clamp + microdialysis on mice with "brain windows" (glass or plastic ports into the skull), although i haven't seen this reported in human specimens yet | 06:53 |
| instagibbs | there is modern neural network research that tries to be more "true" while also learning something | 06:54 |
| wumpus | backprop is efficient to simulate, and gives reasonable results, but it was never intended to mimic reality | 06:54 |
| instagibbs | but they tend to be quite weak | 06:54 |
| instagibbs | wumpus: it falls out of gradient descent, but it's quite telling that we have nothing that even comes close that makes more sense biologically | 06:55 |
| wumpus | and not a good fit for our computers | 06:55 |
| kanzure | we have a few things that try to be accurate emulators of biological neurons, like the poorly-named NEURON project | 06:55 |

| petertodd | kanzure: indeed, which gives you hundreds of millions of years of evolution to come up with a wide diversity of building blocks to patch together | 06:56 |
| instagibbs | kanzure: most creatures are doing very similar things. aka we don't need to do 3SAT problems in our heads | 06:57 |
| op_mul | it would be nice if human memory was more quantitative though. | 06:57 |

| op_mul | I can't remember even where I got this, but I was under the impression that they were just literally unexecuted branches left over, more related to the age of the species than anything else | 07:04 |
| kanzure | considering their vast range of functions they mostly take care of htemselves | 07:04 |
| kanzure | op_mul: it is hard to determine which things are definitely expressed and definitely not expressed | 07:05 |
| wumpus | yes, the resilience is the nice part about biology. computer software is so fickle and breaks easily and consistently needs babysitting... | 07:05 |
| petertodd | wumpus: OTOH, when it does work, it can work orders of magnitude better than biology ever could | 07:05 |

| petertodd | wumpus: equally though, it wouldn't that unexpected if it turns out that to have human intelligence you need a physical computational device made out of brain rather than silicon - it's still not clear what "computational density" the human brain works at, and the lower limits on it are apparently not that far from silicon | 07:10 |
| wumpus | petertodd: we expend energy to build circuits that are very good at narrow, specialized tasks | 07:10 |
| petertodd | wumpus: indeed, yet it's not clear at all what biology can actually do - maybe we could engineer scratch-built wetware that was just as good, if not better, than silicon circuits? | 07:11 |
| kanzure | petertodd: at minimum we know from the comparative neuroanatomy between say chimpanzee brain and human brain that even brains that look quite similar may not be enough to generate human-similar cognitive ability | 07:12 |
| wumpus | petertodd: I wouldn't be surprised either; maybe silicon versus carbon is just a 'process' with different tradeoffs | 07:12 |

| kanzure | here is an analysis of brain constraints that a mathematician did http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/Thermodynamic%20constraints%20on%20neural%20dimensions,%20firing%20rates,%20brain%20temperature%20and%20size.pdf | 07:17 |
| wumpus | petertodd: "all the computers google has" involves a lot of parallelism too ;) | 07:18 |
| petertodd | kanzure: I like how the computational demand estimates for the human brain span at least 14 orders of magnitude :) | 07:19 |
| @gmaxwell | op_mul: we have tests in the library that test the retry logic in any case (by replacing the function with an intentionally broken one) | 07:19 |
| kanzure | well at minimum we know i can do mental arithmetic... and we know the sensory bandwidth maximums (multiple number of receptors anywhere in the body times the number of bits each receptor can detect, and this places an upper bound on the amount of sensory input) | 07:20 |
| kanzure | *multiply | 07:20 |
| wumpus | petertodd: there have been times that they though the key to the puzzle was just parallelism and lots of connections, but looking at today's internet, and how it hasn't developed too many visible brain-like properties yet, I guess it needs more | 07:20 |
| petertodd | wumpus: OTOH, that may still be a software problem, equally, the physical construction of the human brain may give relatively low latency for much of that parallelism that's hard to obtain otherwise | 07:21 |
| kanzure | speaking of which, ralph merkle had some okay estimations of human brain computation | 07:21 |
| wumpus | petertodd: maybe, though neural connections have large amounts of latency compared to wire | 07:22 |
| kanzure | i suspect one of the major differences is human salience or relevance encoding.. you don't see other creatures memorizing huge amounts of what-seems-to-be-at-the-time useless data. and then various selection effects on top of this to produce brains better at doing this. | 07:25 |
| op_mul | gmaxwell: I was digging for excuses to mess with intentionally insecure signing, mainly. | 07:26 |

| petertodd | wumpus: well, so there's about a six order of magnitude difference between the speed of electron wave propagation and neuron action potential propagation, which if I'm correct would imply something like a six order of magnitude volumetric density increase to be equivalent - can you do that with neurons? I'm certainly not going to rule it out | 07:26 |
| petertodd | wumpus: given we're talking about mostly planar silicon vs. mostly 3d brain, the brain can be something like ~1000x less dense than silicon, probably more like ~10000x to be competitive | 07:28 |
| kanzure | (the existence and practice of "oral history" is a good example of how ridiculous human brains are. since we didn't have writing, we just figured out how to say words long enough to remember everything in recorded history. that's intense.) | 07:28 |

| -!- justanothuser [~Justan@unaffiliated/justanotheruser] has joined #bitcoin-wizards | 07:47 | |
| petertodd | wumpus: heh, something I was thinking about the other way, was how you kinda want any consensus-critical VM/scripting language to have only 16-bit at most arithmentic, so you can in fact do 100% coverage test vectors for the primitives | 07:48 |
| petertodd | wumpus: hell, once you're doing 16-bit, might as well go all the way to 8-bit... | 07:48 |
| wumpus | petertodd: hell yeah 8-bit, let's embed a 6502! we can emulate it on transistor level :) | 07:49 |
| petertodd | wumpus: equally, the way EvalScript() was written is shit - should have been a set of individual functions, each with very tightly specified constraints on what part of the stack each function can change | 07:49 |
| op_mul | wumpus: transistors? mechanical relays. | 07:49 |
| -!- PaulCapestany [~PaulCapes@204.28.124.82] has quit [] | 07:50 | |
| petertodd | wumpus: heck, the functions shouldn't touch the stack at all - they should take arguments, corresponding to items on the stack, fail if the stack isn't big enough, and return a tuple of new stack items | 07:50 |
| wumpus | petertodd: but in all fairness, if you can't use modern cryptographic primitives efficiently it's kind of pointless | 07:50 |
| @gmaxwell | kanzure: because the probablity of needing a retry is roughy 2^-128. | 07:51 |
| @gmaxwell | oh op_mul answered, yea. | 07:51 |
| -!- PaulCapestany [~PaulCapes@204.28.124.82] has joined #bitcoin-wizards | 07:51 | |
| petertodd | wumpus: oh sure, but those opcodes can be the exception to 8-bit arithmetic :) for other stuff, no sense having the weird intermediary complexity of 32-bit as we have right now | 07:51 |
| wumpus | petertodd: you could of course have a 8-bit processor with secp256k1 coprocessor, but it'd be kind of masochistic without clear gain (ie, you need a well-defined VM, it doesn't really matter that much how much bits the arithmetic is in) | 07:52 |
| @gmaxwell | wumpus: 6502 is not as clean as moxie IMO. :P | 07:52 |
| -!- justanothuser is now known as justanotheruser | 07:52 | |
| petertodd | wumpus: see, for what script is used for, I suspect you either need ~8-bit numbers, or >128bit numbers, with not all that much in-between (equally, pretty easy to make >8bit OP_ADD macros from 8bit OP_ADDs | 07:53 |
| petertodd | ) | 07:53 |
| wumpus | gmaxwell: hah yes far from, and it reacts funnily to undefined opcodes, ie, it can hang the whole system, cause semi-random behavior, and about 25% of the opcode space is undefined so it's lots of fun | 07:53 |
| wumpus | gmaxwell: it's exactly what you don't want for consensus | 07:54 |
| petertodd | wumpus: do a modified 6502 where every undefined op is changed to Halt And Catch Fire, just like bitcoin! | 07:54 |
| @gmaxwell | well you really want them to be NOP for softforking. :P | 07:54 |
| petertodd | gmaxwell: obviously we're going to get it right on day one | 07:55 |
| @gmaxwell | well it's easy in software to get decode right; where you're not playing stupid games with don't care bits in mux trees. | 07:55 |
| petertodd | gmaxwell: BTW have you noticed how script for PGP is the exact opposite case? you want nothing to be a NOP, because sig validation must always fail in old versions | 07:55 |
| wumpus | petertodd: yes, carry chaining adds is easy, but with multiplications and further you'd quickly wish you'd had chosen something more compact. Not sure how many multiplications there are in consensus code though. Maybe the POW verification? | 07:56 |
| wumpus | petertodd: (apart from the obvious secp256k1) | 07:56 |
| @gmaxwell | petertodd: really want you want is the ability to feature test any feature; so that the pubkey can change its operation. If it wants that. | 07:56 |
| petertodd | wumpus: exactly, I suspect there's hardly any modulo crypto - POW verification in future systems should be designed to be implementable with purely shifts in a well-defined way IMO | 07:56 |
| wumpus | petertodd: most is bitwise arithmetic and integer comparisons | 07:57 |

| petertodd | wumpus: meh, you only need to implement it once in the VM language :) point of the VM itself is to be simple enough implementing it multiple times in different contexts is doable after all, so you want 100% coverage tests as much as possible | 07:59 |

| petertodd | wumpus: ? | 08:02 |

| petertodd | wumpus: ah, right, well, my point is regardless of how you need to do it, writing the code itself only needs to be done once, and PoW checks aren't done often enough to matter re: speed | 08:05 |
| @gmaxwell | wumpus: 2^256 gets divided by the target, and then there is a simple threshold test. | 08:05 |

| petertodd | however, the other side of this discussion is if you are going to put your consensus rules into a VM for a system, how do you write the actual VM machine code? if you're compiling it from another language, the compiler risks becoming part of the consensus in a sense, so it'd be nice if the machine code was clear enough to write directly. (maybe with some assembler syntactical sugar) | 08:10 |
| wumpus | gmaxwell: but that only happens at retargeting? | 08:10 |
| petertodd | OTOH, another feasible option in a mined system is to do soft-forks by validating against v1 rules and v2 simultaneously, rejecting a block if either ruleset rejects, which means if the compiler accidentally changes something in the v2 rules everything still stays in consensus | 08:11 |
| atgreen | petertodd: forgive me, because I'm new to this, but if everybody is running the same VM machine code, why does the compiler need to be part of the consensus? | 08:11 |
| wumpus | petertodd: let's build it as TTL circuits :P | 08:11 |
| petertodd | (once you have n different rulesets, drop the oldest and hope no-one gets hard-forked...) | 08:12 |
| wumpus | petertodd: but yes, you'd have to deeply verify the compiled version of the VM implementation | 08:12 |
| petertodd | atgreen: in an upgrade a compiler bug may mean the v2 machine code is unintentionally a hardfork | 08:12 |
| petertodd | atgreen: it's only semi-indirectly part of the consensus | 08:12 |
| petertodd | wumpus: I wonder if anyone has ever implemented even RC4 in TTL logic... | 08:13 |
| @gmaxwell | wumpus: I suppose in theory it could be per-retarget only. We actually do this on every block in Bitcoin Core. | 08:14 |
| wumpus | petertodd: yes I was about to say FPGA, but then realized the toolchain nightmare there is even worse than compilers. | 08:14 |
| @gmaxwell | wumpus: e.g. instead of carrying forward a "effective work" uint256 with the headers; we call GetBlockProof on each one. | 08:15 |

| petertodd | atgreen: that's a -dev question, not a -wizards question :) | 08:16 |
| @gmaxwell | No, no good book. | 08:16 |
| wumpus | there's a developer documentation on bitcoin.org, but that's aimed at using the system, nothing really aimed at consensus problems | 08:17 |
| petertodd | atgreen: necessary but not sufficient is to read the consensus parts of the Bitcoin Core codebase | 08:17 |
| @gmaxwell | atgreen: signed by whom? Conventional application of signing suggests that there is some authority that approves things, which would undermine bitcoin (security reduces to how attack resistant the authority is). | 08:17 |

| jtimon | old conversation but can't resist... | 13:41 |
| jtimon | re: neural networks and learning: neural networks + genetic algorithms is a high level model of how "insticts" (the hardcoded circuits in the brain) evolve, the hard part is the online (within the live of an individual) learning, the strongest quality of humans as a species | 13:41 |
| jtimon | re: unused genes, I think that is quite accepted, say and apple tree with 100x more genetic material than another apple tree...that's strong indication of unused genes. On the other hand is like having unused code that can become used (ie a mutuation in a "go to"). Some people say that can explain things like the Cambrian explosion | 13:41 |
| jtimon | here's a somewhat related video with a guy hacking genotypes without altering the fenotype (by using redundancies in the base triplets -> aminoacid codification): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2JGwCHWFvk | 13:41 |

| kanzure | i suspect that actual "instincts" are going to be a bit more nuanced than hardcoded in circuit topology. probably more like "gradients during development that tend to produce things that generate these signal processing results like x".. | 13:42 |

| jcorgan | AA is going on in twitter about blockchain difficulty retargetting. Seems to have never heard of sybil attacks. | 19:54 |
| -!- NLNico [~NLNico@unaffiliated/nlnico] has joined #bitcoin-wizards | 19:57 | |
| gwillen | jcorgan: I see a bunch of stuff about how we could get in trouble if the difficulty drops a lot and slows the next retarget | 19:58 |
| gwillen | what's he tweeted that bears on sybil attacks? | 19:58 |
| jcorgan | he's worried about a sudden reduction in hash power just after a difficulty regtargeting, making the next 2016 blocks take a really long time. | 19:59 |
| jcorgan | and proposes a temporary decrease in difficulty in the consensus rules | 20:00 |
| -!- koshii_ [~0@node-2d9.pool-182-52.dynamic.totbb.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] | 20:00 | |
| jcorgan | but an attacker who controls your ISP can filter blocks to you, or set up himself as all 8 of your outbound connections | 20:00 |
| maaku | jcorgan: haven't read the tweets, but there are safe ways to do that, e.g. a flag day | 20:01 |
| jcorgan | then when you think the hashrate has decreased so much and you kick in a lower difficulty target, now they can send you whatever low difficulty blocks they want | 20:01 |
| jcorgan | i think there were some altcoins that tried this and failed | 20:02 |
| maaku | there are others (e.g. freicoin) which have had such a flag day with no ill effect | 20:03 |
| maaku | other than that it is a one-off hard fork change and all that goes with that | 20:03 |
| jcorgan | i'm not talking about how a hard fork would be easy or hard | 20:03 |
| jcorgan | but about how that "emergency difficulty adjustment" algorithm is vulnerable to a Sybil attack | 20:04 |
| kanzure | ah, you mean if you fool the person into thinking that a super low difficulty is appropriate | 20:04 |
| jcorgan | exactly | 20:04 |
| maaku | jcorgan: right, so don't use an emergency algorithm. Do an emergency one-time adjustment | 20:05 |
| jcorgan | oic what u mean | 20:05 |
| kanzure | also, the attack would be something like both fool the person and then get them to broadcast some transaction in your favor? | 20:06 |
| jcorgan | or send a block with a tx to them that will get reorged out when they get normal connectivity again | 20:06 |

| @gmaxwell | op_mul: the notion there is that no matter how strong the social contract is, ... it's not so strong that it prevents the system from being fixed when it's just not working. | 23:40 |
| @gmaxwell | though really if you have to make a fix like that something deeper is probably wrong. | 23:40 |

| op_mul | I think it's a can of worms that should never be opened. it leads into "well we fixed that with a quick fork, why not this too?" | 23:42 |
| op_mul | I can't remember the name of it, but there's a human state of mind that basically says you have a much higher chance of doing something you know is wrong if you've already broken the rule recently. | 23:45 |
| op_mul | I got to work late, the day's already screwed I'll just bail after lunch and go get a beer. that sort of thing. | 23:45 |
| @gmaxwell | sure sure; but if it's "systems worthless because its not working at all" vs "system's worthless because we're not confident the rules are set in stone"; the latter is better. | 23:45 |
| @gmaxwell | the whole zomg hashrate might drop thing is some concern most people have when the first get up to speed with the system. but a factor of 2, 3, or 4 drop isn't a huge deal in terms of transaction clearance performance. | 23:46 |
| @gmaxwell | and given power sensitivity spreads larger seems unlikely | 23:46 |
| maaku | gmaxwell: that said I've personally seen (in an altcoin context) where a drop of ~4x led to a price decline which hurt mining profitability in a vicious cycle | 23:48 |
| maaku | but it is far, far too early to be crying wolf | 23:49 |
