Suppose a special commission is tasked with drawing a random sample of a particular size from the list of names. Suppose that the commission uses existing PRNG software to do this. How could the general public independently verify that the drawn sample is TRULY random? If commission publishes random seed used and the list of names, and if PRNG software could be run on personal computers, then the sample could be independently reproduced.

My question: assuming that the commission could run PRNG procedure on an infinite number of random seeds, what is the chance of it arriving on a premeditated outcome? Obviously such outcome would be not random at all.

well, the list of names could be compiled in the strict alphabetical order to prevent manipulation on this end

but the seed looks like the chicken and egg problem - ideally you would want a random seed, but to get a random seed itself you ideally would want another random seed..

I guess we need to assume that the seed is a-priory DETERMINED.

So the source of randomness should come from the list of names.

ie the genuine source of entropy could be only in some physical process

but who controls access to this process - controls derived randomness

not really, in (1) and (2) the seed is predictable
with (3) you start with a random seed (the list of names). remember, any piece of data can be a seed, and in a weird way, the list of names is a physical source of entropy

still, the smaller the list of names, the easier it is to manipulate the result. and the bigger the list is, the easier it becomes to add fake names without people noticing. take this python example

import random
def seed(names):
str = ", ".join(names)
random.seed(str)
def choice(names):
seed(names)
return random.choice(names)
def fake(names, fake_name):

a combination of (1) and (3) may work better:
instead of using the current list of names as the seed, you could use a previous list

i hang around the end page of boards here to do some archiving. My problem is that i have this insanity-adhd (idk what it is) thing that makes it so that it's impossible to archive thing since everytime i open my own file i always worry (and believe) that i deleted something from said file or edit said file or mess it. is there any software that could help ? a software or something that could prevent me from deleting or messing or editing the file ?

If you are talking intel arc graphics, that should work out of the box without a fuss on any linux with a kernel 6.2 or newer
To find out your kernel version, open a terminal and enter the command:
uname -r


For example on Ubuntu that would be the two latest releases
23.10 Mantic Minotaur 6.5
23.04 Lunar Lobster 6.2

Attachments can have another special column: a bigint representing a 64-bit unsigned integer, that we compute using a perceptual image hash algorithm (there's libraries to do this). We can add a special index on this column, using the bktree postgresql extension, that will let us compare the distance between these numbers efficiently, bit by bit (called the hamming distance).

CREATE INDEX attachments_phash_bktree_index ON attachments USING spgist (phash bktree_ops);


This column will let us do reverse-image search on similar images.

Next I'm going to get postgREST serving locally on port 3000. Postgrest will automatically create a REST API for our database. (https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest)

Then I can build a script that will read in the board's json api files and populate the database. I prefer to just hit this REST api than write database queries out as strings in some way, I've tried different ways of doing it, using and ORM or a domain specific language and using postgrest was the most pain-free.

I will also throw this repo up online here: http://git.leftychan.net/0/chan-delorean

I wrote some more glue code to shove all of the posts from the board into the database, by simply reading the json api files, transforming the data structure slightly and passing json to PostgREST.

To not take too long I shove all of the posts on one board into the database at once: the sql code takes an array of all the posts, does a SELECT to get the ones that exist already, inserts the ones that don't yet exist, and returns all of the internal post ids. This is quite boring, you can go read the source if you care, but it takes about 2 minutes to save leftychan.

I have monthly snapshots dating back to around the bunkerchan split, so I ran those through the script as well. Perhaps not every post ever posted is there, but I have around half a million posts. Now we can get to the fun part of attempting to query the database for what the board looked like at an arbitrary point in time.

👍 Thanks anon! There's more:

I want to see the board as it was a year ago. I need to get all of the threads that were on the board, at t = (now - 1 year).

Threads are ordered by bump time. We need to get the first, say, 400 threads if you order all the threads by bump time.

In lainchan each thread has a bump column (threads and posts share the same table called posts_a or whatever), which makes it simple to get the current top threads, but it doesn't help us calculate what the bump times were one year ago.

So first I recognize that a thread's bump time is just the time the most recent post was posted to that thread.

Maybe I can use SQL's aggregate function to get the MAX post creation time, if we group the posts by their thread_id. Then, since I have indices on the creation_time and thread_id columns, (and another index on both), if I limit the number of threads that I want then hopefully this won't be slow:

SELECT
threads.thread_id,

I'm not trolling you. I get your point, a bunch of radlibs blew a fuse over geopolitical events and began screwing with software packages. And you want to yeet them because that's a breach of trust. I also understand that for this particular case it's relatively easy to zero in on who's doing this, and nip it in the butt.

However I'm also thinking about the general case. We'd be introducing the principle of discriminating based on political affiliation. I would like to avoid this kind of stuff. I would much prefer to have a politically neutral purely technical solution. I don't particularly care about what political or philosophical views some programmer has, as long as the program they make is good quality and does not include malicious features. If we could find a way to make some kind of automated code-audit-system that makes it sufficiently difficult to spike a software package in this manor, we could screen out bad actors, without having to deal with politics and all the bad blood that brings.

some cool afghanistan boomers at my USPSA and they taught me some long range stuff too with their Rem and vortex. You can use the app with your caliber barrel length etc to calculate what hold to use on the reticle. You can also turn the top turret to adjust for drop. It's nicer than other apps because it has a lot of reticles pre-loaded and can select between mil and moa dots. Boomers I talked to like mil because you can estimate range based roughly on shoulder width and height. They had it in a notebook with a table for it but it was something simple. Go talk to boomers anon they have a lot to teach and no one to listen.

A topic that was almost completely neglected in Marxist circles , was the privatization of online reputation systems. Most of the big tech corpo platforms just deploy some kind of algorithms or payed reputation badges. Technically this isn't a new phenomena the first privatized reputation system probably was something like banking credit-scores.

I think that maybe the toxic elements of social media like cancel-ism might have been the result of those privatized reputation systems.

I'm wondering why there don't seem to be any prominent non-commercial community p2p driven scoring systems ?
There seem to be very few people working on stuff like this, i only know of Ian Clarke the Creator of Freenet that is talking about this stuff.

Reddit is run by alphabet soup (and so are both leftypols)
Alphabet soup is the result of government because centralization of power makes it really easy for psychopaths to take control and push their agenda.

Do you think reddit made money by allowing government shills to act like this?

The problem with reddit is that it is fully centralized so the reddit servers have ultimate control over your karma. Even if a million human beings saw and liked your post the server can give you zero karma because fuck you.

Distributed reputation systems like nostr are not necessarily a bad thing though since public key cryptography makes it impossible to forge and you can use a blacklist/whitelist to disregard the votes of bots and shills and people who don't matter.

Are people using generative AI backwards ?

For example, lots of people AI-generate text and try to publish it as paper-books on Amazon, which amusingly clogs up Amazon's pipes. In essence they use new AI computer technology to make more content, faster, for an old paper interface technology.

What people could be doing instead is make the content for a book them selves and then train a limited AI on that. Resulting in "ai-books" that you can talk to, ask it questions and what not. Which would make AI the interface for the content instead of the author.

A human book author combines 2 types of inputs.
1. all the books the author read.
2 all the experiences outside the textual book-world, aka the "real world".

AI only gets the first type of input, because AI has no experiences in the "real world".

If AI replaces all human authors, there won't be any new experiential inputs. Shit will stall for a long time until AI get advanced and corporal enough to have it's own experiences. It would make vast quantities of new works from a stagnant source.

The AI-interface-book that you can ask direct questions, is obviously most useful for text-books that you query for knowledge. But if would also offer new ways of story telling for fiction, like letting you talk directly to various characters.

So apparently Palemoon became the first browser to officially implemented JPEG XL a week ago. At the same time, Google just dropped it from Chromium despite supporting it behind a flag for months. What the hell is going on here? Is Google that desperate to push their video-codecs-as-image-formats that they're willing to sabotage a massive step forward for the web? JPEG XL is capable of replacing both original JPEG, PNG, and animated GIF/PNG all at once with a single file type that produces superior file sizes for all three categories of use cases. Neither WebP, HEIC, nor AVIF were ever able to make such a broad, sweeping improvement because they are geared more towards features important to video encoding than still images or lossless animation.

It seems like every few weeks these days I find something new to get mad about in the world of web development.

On the contrary, they recommend Webbrowser aka WereFox.
And the Palemoon website blocks Tor users so fuck them.

FYI you can use Tor Browser without tor:

network.proxy.socks_remote_dns false
extensions.torlauncher.start_tor false
TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 TOR_TRANSPROXY=1 ./start-tor...

You're welcome.

For some reason those settings change back to default when I restart the browser, it's seriously about fucking time that someone who isn't evil or an idiot creates a web browser.
Or to ditch the concept entirely and create usable P2P software for content and thought sharing.

Google wants to put DRM into the web, and lock everything into their chrome browser and make privacy violations even worse.

I think this is part of bigG's war on addblocking and of course they're a monopoly that wants to be the entire web. But there is more, web-advertising has been sort of dying a slow death for some time now. Not because of addblock but for other reasons. Neo-liberalism/capitalism is making people poor and that's shrinking the economic pie in general. If people see adds they ignore them more often. And there is of course the scheme for generating fake views for add-farming.

The drm googl wants to insert into the web is super terrible, if they can push this through it will destroy the web. There is no hyperbole here, the web will become like one of those locked down alternate versions of the internet from the 80s that failed so hard that barely anybody remembers that they even existed. It's possible that EU regulations against anti-competitive behavior, and monopoly-busting in the US could cock-block google, but it would be better to fight tooth and nail to kill this one in the crib, before it gets anywhere near that point. And then outlaw DRM for violating personal property (if you can't fully control your gadgets you've been expropriated)

If this monstrosity were to happen, it would probably take over 10 years to polish one of those decentralized peer to peer alternative web-protocols to the point where we get something like an open web back.

Sorry for conflating the two.

I haven't looked into the hardware side of things, i always thought that nobody would bother with that because once a "hardware-restriction" gets liberated, it'll stay that way forever.

Anyhow, suggest better names-for it.

Here's what i got: From a technical standpoint DRM behaves like malware and from a legal standpoint it's post-transactional expropriation.

Perhaps something that references rent, since these techniques are used to control what someone can do with their own property.

Hm, this is kinda difficult to name:
Hardware based property infringement
Hostile hardware environment
Imprisoned hardware
Tainted hardware

>Perhaps something that references rent
This is even harder, perhaps:
Tollbooth hardware

Technically this would stop it from being a full Von-Neumann machine. So maybe it could be called
compute-incomplete hardware

It's interesting how the leftist brain works. You associate thing with "bad" people and that somehow makes the thing bad. Hitler was a big fan of consuming water and oxygen by the way, might want to stop consuming those bad things yourself comrade.

>Does not exist. You mean "hardware-based restrictions", "locks", "copy protection", etc.
He obviously means hardware that prevents you breaking DRM like secure enclaves and efuses. Taking the most uncharitable interpretation of somebody's words and pretending that's what they really meant is such a slimy tactic.

That's a decent video. I think he oversells it abit though, if the firmware is burned into ROM or cryptographically verified before execution then power glitching will not open up a permanent solution to anything.

The other thing to consider is that some middle class NPC who takes out a $100,000 loan to buy a Tesla is not going to risk his warranty to save $1000 on a DRM locked feature. And if the globalist billionaire class get their way then all cars will be $100,000 EVs that few people can afford to drive and even fewer people can afford to monkey with.

Not really, i think DRM is shit because on a technical level it's basically the same as malware, that fucks up your system. I know that it's intellectual dishonest and pure opportunism to link DRM to Scientology's cringe, but this is how DRM shills argue, and this presents an opportunity to throw some crazy shit back at them.

>if the firmware is burned into ROM or cryptographically verified before execution then power glitching will not open up a permanent solution to anything.
A special chip that works like a walled castle, which will definitely keep out the undesirables is a really old sales pitch, including all the invulnerability claims of this time we build the wall high enough. Don't count on it. In the long run people will probably move towards re-chipping with open chips that aren't locked down.

>And if the globalist billionaire class get their way then all cars will be $100,000 EVs that few people can afford to drive
Well if most people can't afford cars, we'll only need bus-lanes and bicycle lanes.
