kanzure"Datahand patents are from <1995, so are now expired."09:07
chris_99have you tried one of those datahand things?09:07

FourFirelooks interesting, does it have a steeper learning curve than touchtyping?09:09
chris_99i want to try one a stenotype09:12
chris_99s/one/09:12
kanzurei think jaydugger has tried a data hand but no i haven't09:14
kanzurenot very interested either, it doesn't seem particularly faster..09:14
chris_99yeah someone on HN mentioned about it being slowish09:14
chris_99although that would depend on the typist09:14
-!- strangewarp [~strangewa@c-76-25-206-3.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap09:15
FourFireIm interested in the relative learning curve compared to standard keyboards09:15
FourFireif it is faster a lower profeciency then it09:15
FourFire's a productivity tool for slow typers09:15
FourFire(like myself)09:16
FourFireIf you're near or over 200WPM, then maybe the easiest speed boost would be a decent BCI09:17
kanzureuh? most brain-computer interfaces have a bandwidth of like a few bits per second at most. nowhere near an improvement in speed.09:17
FourFirethat's why I said decent09:18
chris_99has anyone looked into EMG in a slightly related note, re. inner speech09:18
FourFireall of the one's I've seen are terrible from a UI perspective09:18
kanzure"ui" is not the reason why they are slow09:18
FourFirechris_99, not yet, I will once I get my BCI project underway09:18
Stskeepschris_99: best ones are EMG with electrodes on multiple points face and throat, so not very market friendly09:18
chris_99yeah Stskeeps09:19
chris_99that's what i meant round the neck09:19

Stskeepsmore a fan of non-audible murmur recognition, while not as cool as BCI, it serves a lot of the same purposes..09:19

yoleauxNAM (Non-Audible Murmur) Microphone from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology : DigInfo - YouTube09:20
gradstudentbotI think the centrifuge is broken.09:20
FourFireyeah, whatever the means, a thing which can increase the potential productivity of the top percentiles of hackers without substantial cost is very worth making09:20
chris_99hmm they are speaking in that demo though09:20
Stskeepschris_99: sure, but with sub-whisper volume09:20
Stskeepsso others cannot hear it, like a silent prayer09:21
Stskeepsor murmuring to yourself about idiotic coworkers09:21
chris_99lol09:21
chris_99i thought EMG seems more interesting, in the papers where theres no speaking and people are just reading a book in their head09:21
chris_99and it can extract a small no. of words09:21
kanzure"that's why i'm always humming c minor while i'm reading"09:22
FourFiresomeone I know mentioned using toe muscles in conjunction with emg to... well type09:22
Stskeepsit is, but until we get everybody to wear guy fawkes masks with electrodes inside, or it becomes socially acceptable to have EMG tattoo stickers on your throat and face..09:22
chris_99haha kanzure09:22
StskeepsFourFire: oh that's new09:22
FourFirewe have a whole set of digits which we mostly don't use etc.09:23
chris_99heh interesting, do they wiggle their toes then to type09:23
FourFireI haven't seen it in action09:23
FourFireThe guy had some fun trolling coworkers, typing hands free...09:24
FourFire"how are you typing" "with my mind" etc.09:24
FourFireStskeeps, well, how long did it take for bluetooth handsfree devices to become acceptable09:25
FourFirenow if the productivity impact is larger than that, how long will it take then?09:26
StskeepsFourFire: google glass shows people are a bit picky about the face :)09:26
Stskeepstue09:26
Stskeepstrue09:26
gradstudentbotI have this really good idea. I just can't get it to work.09:26
FourFireStskeeps, IIRC GlassHoles was about the camera and covert on/off control09:26
StskeepsFourFire: i think it was more than that, personally, camera is just one aspect09:26
FourFiremhm, glass probably wasn't a very great product usability wise, but then it was a prototype09:27
maakuco-worker of mine wanted to go around taking abrupt in-your-face shots of Glass wearers in public, and immediately post to twitter as #2CanPlay09:28
maakui still think it's a good idea09:28
kanzurewhat's wrong with abrupt-in-your-face shots? i don't get it.09:28

kanzurehttp://www.overcomingbias.com/2015/09/monster-pumps.html "The new finding is that local metabolism also goes as local biomass density to the power of roughly 3/4, over at least three orders of magnitude. This implies that life in dense areas like jungles is just slower and lazier on average than is life in sparse areas like deserts. And this implies that the ratio of predator to prey biomass is smaller in jungles compared to deserts. - ...09:58

kanzureso much snarks21:16
fennobviously setting up a snark arbitration exchange is the correct thing to do21:20
kanzureone of the snark people wrote a snarks library called "snarkfront"21:21
kanzurewhich i think would make a good name for an improv group21:22

kanzuredraft of my next weekend's montreal presentation http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/scaling-review-draft.v2.pdf21:23
fennit would be good to have an html version of your notes so the rest of the world doesn't have to read every mailing list post ever21:25
kanzureoutput was yaml bookmarks not notes21:26
fenngood enough21:26
kanzurei am putting off "make the yaml bookmarks presentable to mere mortals" until after i am done powerpointing21:27
fennyeah21:27
fennbut you should put a link to it in your powerpoint (on the last slide)21:28
justanotheruserso how long does it take you to go through every single 6.0 post?21:28
kanzurejustanotheruser: ~10 hours?21:28
fenninstead of "Thank You." in giant letters21:28
kanzurefenn: my obligatory joke comment for the "upload everyone to a cloud, simulate their transaction activity, problem solved" is to mention that "ralph merkle actually has some plans here, so make of that what you will"... since everyone knows ralph merkle for the wrong reasons in this community.21:28
justanotheruserI guess you don't need to look at all the posts based on the title21:29
kanzurejustanotheruser: correct21:29
kanzure"HELP I HAVE GCC PROBLEM" is not likely to contain cosmological wisdom21:29
fennwell markets are just computation devices right21:29
fennwhere did my bag of snarks go21:29
kanzurenext to your bag of triangles21:29
kanzureor is that something else..21:30
fennit was under the mattress next to the bag of fucks21:30
fennjk i would never use a mattress21:31
kanzuremarkets are not very interesting computation devices21:32
fenni much prefer Cyberchile or whatever the communists had in 197321:33
fennhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn21:33
kanzuremerkle should have made up a fake origin story about his puzzles, like "well i was thinking about how to make molecular nanotechnology" or something.21:33
kanzureor "i was trying to reassemble a cryonically stored person from small parts"21:36
fennhow to disassemble and reassemble a camel to fit through the needle-eye gates of heaven21:37
kanzure"And one night I was contemplating how it is that... What was the problem that I was considering specifically? I think I was trying to figure out the problem of you're trying to log into a computer in some secure fashion and the computer security has been compromised and has since been sealed up again. I was trying to figure out how to re-establish secure communications. And as I was thinking about it, it basically occurred to me that I ...21:39
kanzure... was unable to prove that full disclosure of the complete state both of the computer and of the person communicating with it (and presumably they would have a terminal with which they were communicating with a computer) it occurred to me that I was unable to prove that under those circumstances, security would necessarily be compromised. So I began trying to figure out, was there some way of showing clearly that if you compromised ...21:39
kanzure... both computer and the terminal which was communicating with the computer, whether you could then prove that in the absence of some secure channel, some secret channel like a courier, whether you could prove that in fact security had been compromised. And as I thought about it, I realized that not only could I not prove it, it was not even clear that it was correct. So I began thinking about it, and then over the next few days I ...21:40
kanzure... figured out the puzzles technique."21:40
kanzurewell that's fairly straightforward and disappointing21:40
kanzurefrom http://web.archive.org/web/20070311022139/http://www.itas.fzk.de/mahp/weber/merkle.htm21:40
kanzure"The first realization, of course, was that if both the computer and the terminal were deterministic, then of course you could compromise the system, if you knew the initial state and you knew the traffic over the communications line. So I fairly quickly concluded that there had to be some random component. And then it was simply a question of how to utilize that random component in a way which would provide confusion to the eavesdropper ...21:40
kanzure... that would grow more rapidly than the confusion of either the two parties communicating."21:40
justanotheruserdank all the things meme21:42
justanotheruser"send me your backlog"21:43
fennis dank a verb now?21:43
justanotheruserno, it's an adjective21:44

kanzurethe interviewer just totally tuned out the moment that ralph merkle mentioned nanotechnology -____-21:48
kanzurejustanotheruser: it's called a draft for a reason, you know...21:51
justanotheruserit seems fine except you joke about DHTs then you say they may be an ingredient, that may be leaving some listeners confused unless you verbally clarify21:51
kanzurethere's nothing wrong with using DHTs, but "just use a DHT" is not a solution to "scaling bitcoin"21:53

kanzurei have no interest in reiterating all of this junk: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-June/008603.html22:24
kanzureplus, the community has already been spending a bunch of time reviewing those proposals, like bip100, bip101, bip102, .. bip105, etc.22:25
fenn"For illustration of the innovative environment Merkle was in, see the picture of a nuclear powered ramjet his father was working on"22:25
fennwhere's my nuclear ramjet jetpack22:26
fennkanzure i was just attempting to head off the inevitable "but what about blocksize" question22:27
fennhopefully your presentation will sufficiently convey the number of dimensions in which scaling is a problem22:28

kanzure18:33:25 <tacotime_> You can provide withness for executed code without executing the code yourself to verify it?22:37
kanzure18:34:21 <gmaxwell> tacotime_: Yes, thats what a snark is, a proof that code was fairthfully executed which is logarithmic in the length of the exeuction (or smaller, with cryptographic assumptions they can be constant size in the security parameter)22:37
kanzurehttp://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse533/05au/pcp-history.pdf22:37
fenn"God had intentionally created Raptor Jesus to preach to the dinosaur people and show them the light. However, his early teachings did not go over well with the dinosauric people"22:39
kanzure"imagine you have a system which can prove the validity of two operations: executing a single instruction AND verifying a proof that the prior state for that instruction.  If the proof verficiation is randomized/probablistic, then its not surprising that the proof size can be proportional to security rather than execution size... and then you nest these operations and get a constant size proof. (bootstrapping approach) ... Efficient ...22:42
kanzure... systems don't work directly in this way, but its an intutive way to see the possiblity."22:42

fennyes the faces are more creepy in inverted colors22:46
fennis this "bootstrapping approach" just memoizing previous computations in a verifiable way?22:48
kanzure18:43:17 <gmaxwell> Really the major breakthrough that allows sublinear is bootstrapping, which I think was mostly really inspired by the FHE work.22:49
kanzure(fully homomorphic encryption stuff, i assume)22:49
fennbut it does the same thing as memoizing, practically speaking22:49
kanzurei am currently operating at pasted logs understanding22:50

yoleaux"In computing, memoization is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of expensive function calls and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoizing22:50

fennoh, keeping inputs to the computation secret is a pain22:52
justanotheruserpinnochio22:52
kanzurehaven't looked at pinnochio paper22:52
kanzurei can understand most math eventually, but my big problems are things like "keeping stuff cached" and on-the-fly reconstruction of sensible things...22:52
