I'll also request deletion from then. and I'll be happy for them to get a fine when they don't comply 🙂 13:24 <+bridge> [ddnet] yes, it does require a phone number 13:24 <+bridge> [ddnet] They'll pay .1% of their profits as a fine. Funnel your data to some subsidiary in some weird island with 3 residents to be forever archived 13:25 <+bridge> [ddnet] Our corporate overlords are all powerful 13:25 <+bridge> [ddnet] I have faith in the EU to hand out higher fines 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] Is there really no company that you've given your phone number to? 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] do you know if calls via a phone number are encrypted? 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] i think sms are not 13:29 <+bridge> [ddnet] the era of phone numbers is over for me imho 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] it should be all via internet 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] e2ee 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] I have given my phone number to companies 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] You mean e2e? I think not, but idk cutting edge telecom things 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] definitely not e2e 13:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] but e2e without key verification is also meh 13:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] Iirc from your phone to the base station it's encrypted. Inside their network it's just plain 13:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] I don't see a key verification, so it's not e2e 13:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] more than nothing 13:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] to defend against whom? 13:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] idk 13:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] xd 13:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] it should implement OTR 13:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] maybe 13:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ 13:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] I think OTR was considered deprecated by the XMPP people 13:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] perhaps because multi-device doesn't work well 13:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://t.me/pacexoitic 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm trying to convince openai that the aliasing problem we had with the centities array is UB. It argues that the c style cast is okay since in this case is equivalent to a static cast, because both types are related to each other, so it doesn't break the strict aliasing rule like reinterpret cast would. So either open ai too bad in this example. Or gcc buggy af xd 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'd still be interested why it breaks xd 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] 14:04 <+bridge> [ddnet] I made it print the code to my description and it got it right. Sad story 14:05 <+bridge> [ddnet] Gcc only worked when using a base class array directly 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Eh, that c style cast is not equivalent to a static cast is what I've been told on the c++ irc 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] It ends up being a reinterpret cast 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Why 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Did u post it here? 14:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Uh, someone explained it to me but I don't remember, let me look at the logs 14:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] Problem is how good are the people in this IRC 14:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] The people that replied to me have been around for a while with usually good quality responses 14:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] I guess when I'm home i should try a static cast to see if that actually fixes the problem 14:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] I could certainly imagine that the problem is some other ub. But if it was explained well enough it's fine too i guess 14:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] Ok. He didn't cite the standard but he did demonstrate that it resolves to a reinterpret_cast not a static 14:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] ```[00:37:57] { constexpr int x = f(); } struct B {}; struct D : B {}; constexpr int f() { D* d[1]; auto p = (B**)d; return {}; } 14:16 <+bridge> [ddnet] [00:37:57] error: 'reinterpret_cast' is not a constant expression``` 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] fun way to show that 😮 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] @Learath2 how are you 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] You shouldn't even be able to do a static_cast, if it was possible the C-Style cast would have resolved to that 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] Awful, hbu? 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] :justatest: 14:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] i'm alive 14:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] Excellent 14:19 <+bridge> [ddnet] Gotta test that. I'm still curious why it uses reinterpret cast 14:19 <+bridge> [ddnet] I wonder what clang does 14:19 <+bridge> [ddnet] While we were chatting, someone pointed out that if it is UB, (which it seems to be), clang and gcc can indeed do different things and both are technically legal 😄 14:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] that seems like the normal description of UB 14:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yeah, but when we were initially discussing the issue we were so focused on it being a gcc bug that I didn't even consider ub 14:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] I see 14:23 <+bridge> [ddnet] I always consider ub when gcc with lto and ofast breaks smth. Happened few times it was. Only once i didn't find the answer and a later gcc worked again 14:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] I took a look at the definition of static_cast and I don't see any of the clauses letting us go from `B**` to `D**` 14:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] So seems the double pointer 14:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] Which makes it ub 14:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] Single pointer works 14:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] that makes sense 14:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] B* is not related to D* 14:32 <+bridge> [ddnet] it'd be literally reinterpreting the D* bits as B* ^^ 14:33 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'd have thought the compiler sees though this 14:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] Or better. When does it not. In the end both are pointers and the underlaying type is still related 14:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] Mh but probably bcs it cannot know if array or single objects 14:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] In that case it makes sense 14:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] I think reinterpret_cast anywhere along the chain makes gcc just break aliasing 14:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yeah im happy with my imagination 14:35 <+bridge> [ddnet] clang on the other hand seems to agree with you and tries to see through the chain of conversions 14:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] Array of object not equal to single object 14:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] So this breaks it 14:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] Hm, I doubt that's the issue there 14:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] For me it broke too on your example 14:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'd assume clang s optimizer is simply worse 14:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] Gcc = ub doesn't exists. If u rely on itnobo 14:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] The example forces a non-reinterpret_cast. That's why it fails 14:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] Well it falls bcs const evaluation falls 14:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] Fails 14:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] If you ditch the constexprs it should work, then you can probably observe the aliasing issue we had 14:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] Probably yes 14:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] Though I guess there is also something to do with LTO propagating aliasing information across units 14:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] True 14:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] For simple programs it might see through it 14:39 <+bridge> [ddnet] idk, I'd love to ask gcc or clang people but they hang out in spooky scary mailing lists where they roast people for not understanding every word of the standard 14:39 <+bridge> [ddnet] ^^ 14:39 <+bridge> [ddnet] We should fix it in our code btw 14:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] I don't like it we rely on it even if it won't break with o2 14:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] We fixed it 14:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] Well, deen fixed it 14:41 <+bridge> [ddnet] He forced the static cast while iterating over CEntity* 14:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] A static_cast from `CEntity*` to `CCharacter*` is allowed by the first clause of 8.5.1.9 (though gives no guarantees of being safe) 14:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yeah 14:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] Dynamic cast trash 14:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] Well looking at the ai code it even used reinterpret cast. So atleast it knew that static is not allowed here. 14:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] I highly doubt the ai really understands the intricacies of the standard ngl 14:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] It just refused to explain that if i use c style cast. That it's breaking aliasing rule 14:52 <+bridge> [ddnet] But it's not impossible multiple people asked this question before 14:52 <+bridge> [ddnet] In the end the standard is logical in it self. It just doesn't tell ya the edge cases xdd 14:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] Anyway there just be compiler flags for strict aliasing. Why are they off for us? 14:54 <+bridge> [ddnet] -fno-strict-aliasing fixed the issue also btw 14:54 <+bridge> [ddnet] Lol 14:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] Anyway, it's ub, iirc not even required to generate a warning at all 14:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] But clang good compiler. Why no tell 14:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] Ask the clang people if you are brave enough 14:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] Xd 15:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] i always forget all the types of cast c++ has 15:03 <+bridge> [ddnet] im happy with my little rust 15:06 <+bridge> [ddnet] You usually want `static_cast` if you are using any of the others you are more likely breaking something 15:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yeah reinterpret is really more for low level stuff. Or reading void* stuff e.g. binary, network etc 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] But for void u probs don't need again 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] And if you spam c style casts like we do you get random bugs like we get 😄 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Since compiler knows u doing weird stuff 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] I bet there is compiler flag 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Just be 15:09 <+bridge> [ddnet] Musst 15:11 <+bridge> [ddnet] What do you want the compiler to complain about? C style casts evaluating to reinterpret ones? 15:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yes 15:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] Hm, I don't see one skimming thru the docs 15:19 <+bridge> [ddnet] Fac 15:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] Xd 15:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293493549758939136/1049694379184500768/xd_1.png 15:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] Open ai suggests this 15:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] No idea wtf that is 15:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] Is is possible static analysis can figure it out 15:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] #announcements and #records unreachable for me 15:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] okay, was just discord messing up... 15:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] #records also hangs for me, seems like Discord has problems 15:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] pretty cool 15:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293493549758939136/1049698724395356230/image.png 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] the first part is wrong 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] yes I know 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] but the 2nd part is cool 15:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] had you not known the correct answer, you might not have arrived at it 15:54 <+bridge> [ddnet] I know you can kinda read memory if you pass specific arguments 15:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] ye, you can read the stack, and you can even write the stack 15:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] write didn't know that, reading it yes 15:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] `%n` 15:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] lol what is that 15:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] write the amount of characters written so far to the integer pointer passed to prinft 15:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] write the amount of characters written so far to the integer pointer passed to printf 15:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] aah 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] apparently the integer pointer is `int *` 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/io/fprintf 15:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] ctrl-f "number of characters written so" 16:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] there's some format specifier I didn't know about lol 16:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] maybe cuz it's not much used at all 16:06 <+bridge> [ddnet] Some of those specifiers are like purpose built for exploiting stack overflows 😄 16:06 <+bridge> [ddnet] ye 😄 16:07 <+bridge> [ddnet] I also only learned about it when learning how to exploit printf format string vulnerabilities 16:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] is printf format string turing complete 😄 ? 16:10 <+bridge> [ddnet] So I should review our translation strings more closely, gotcha 16:12 <+bridge> [ddnet] We allow the entire set of printf specifiers, right, that's concerning actually 😄 16:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] Maybe a script to check they have the exact same amount of specifiers as the original string and the same kind in the same order? 16:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] we compile without ASLR, right? 16:13 <+bridge> [ddnet] that'd mean it's even exploitable 16:14 <+bridge> [ddnet] that sounds good 16:15 <+bridge> [ddnet] we could look into using something like https://weblate.org/en/ btw. I'm not sure; I'd guess that'd increase the ease of translation 16:17 <+bridge> [ddnet] @heinrich5991 philosophical question. Do you believe ais can be as intelligent it even better than human? And ofc innovative 16:18 <+bridge> [ddnet] why not? 16:19 <+bridge> [ddnet] in the end, we're just physical objects. if you could emulate that, it should make you behave the same way as humans. but it's probably orders of magnitude easier 16:20 <+bridge> [ddnet] Ok 16:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] this obviously starts creating interesting ethical issues 16:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] Another question. What do u think how close we are 16:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] :gigachad: 16:23 <+bridge> [ddnet] interesting question. I know smart people who believe it's basically around the corner 16:23 <+bridge> [ddnet] very far from it 16:23 <+bridge> [ddnet] I'm not sure 16:24 <+bridge> [ddnet] Hehe a question of debate 16:24 <+bridge> [ddnet] nowadays AIs are just basic neuronal networks which can only perform a single task 16:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] I had someone walk the chatgpt AI through solving this problem: https://www.mathekalender.de/wp/calendar/challenges/2022-01-en/ 16:26 <+bridge> [ddnet] @Chairn do you think that human intelligence is something that exists purely in the three dimension we know and inside the universe we know.. or e.g. could you imagine human cannot even duplicate it artificially? 16:27 <+bridge> [ddnet] and it actually worked. it looked like me walking a first semester student through math exercises 16:27 <+bridge> [ddnet] basically asking the right questions to get it back on track 16:27 <+bridge> [ddnet] At least not without expanding our knowledge by over what we currently assume is true 16:28 <+bridge> [ddnet] :poggers2: 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] but it has no understanding of what's behind 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] your question makes no sense to me 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] but does the student have an understanding or just pretend to have one? 😄 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] what is understanding? ^^ 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] What exactly 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] wowowo, 3 at a time 😄 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] Rz 16:30 <+bridge> [ddnet] Chairn, master of starting flamewars 16:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] i think ill leave it there 😄 16:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] that's actually a good question 🙂 16:31 <+bridge> [ddnet] not sure how to define it 16:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] I guess you could say after a couple of these exercises, it should be able to solve exercises like this on its own? 16:34 <+bridge> [ddnet] or is that too little for "understanding"? @Chairn 16:36 <+bridge> [ddnet] it's one aspect of understanding yes 16:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] i think it should also be able to rephrase it with its own terms (own here being also hard to define for an AI fed with internet data). At least it should be able to give good examples or comparisons/images to explain it 16:37 <+bridge> [ddnet] It’s actually surprisingly hard to distinguish what gpt does from what a human does. Can chatgpt adjust it’s weights as we chat with it? 16:38 <+bridge> [ddnet] it uses previous statements, yes 16:39 <+bridge> [ddnet] apparently, it's quite easy to trigger some contradiction 16:39 <+bridge> [ddnet] But does it permanently alter the model? E.g. you teach it how to solve that one problem, can it do one alone now? 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] probably not, due to catastrophic forgetting 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] not after the chat session 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] but during it, I guess? 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_interference 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] @Not Keks 16:40 <+bridge> [ddnet] i got the joke 😄 16:41 <+bridge> [ddnet] I think I read something about the way stable diffusion handled this to allow finetuning without the loss of ability to generate generic images 16:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] I need answer 16:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] I need to connect data like ais 16:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] Else i fall behind 16:42 <+bridge> [ddnet] can you rephrase it please? 3 dimensions universe while we live in 4th one 😄 16:43 <+bridge> [ddnet] I guess the question is about some sort of hidden variable? 16:43 <+bridge> [ddnet] Higher dimensions 16:43 <+bridge> [ddnet] Yes it's not really about dimensions or smth 16:43 <+bridge> [ddnet] More like if we really able to;) 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] Btw even if highly accepted it's not proven 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] In a sense what we call proven 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] nah, 3 physicial, one time 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] As far as I’m aware (and would like to believe), there isn’t anything “special” about us. Our brains are no less neurons swimming in a chemical soup than a bug 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] but i still don't see the relation between dimensions, universe and intelligence 16:45 <+bridge> [ddnet] That's an answer i wanted to hear but from chairn 16:46 <+bridge> [ddnet] we do have more 🙂 16:46 <+bridge> [ddnet] Xd 16:46 <+bridge> [ddnet] but yes, just biological computers 16:46 <+bridge> [ddnet] I guess you could imagine some higher dimension we can’t perceive on which our brains have some higher processing that influences the 4 we do perceive 16:47 <+bridge> [ddnet] if we have a higher dimension, why do we never see the effects of it? 16:48 <+bridge> [ddnet] Though it sounds a little too convoluted to me. Why would a combination of materials we understand pretty well result in something we can’t even perceive? It’d pretty much be equivalent to the existence of god 😄 16:48 <+bridge> [ddnet] what leads you to assume that it's likely that there is another, any more that you assume that gravity will not stop working tomorrow 8 am 16:49 <+bridge> [ddnet] String theory deals with something like this, no? Things happen in higher dimensions distill down to effects in our 4 dimensions 16:49 <+bridge> [ddnet] idk anything about string theory 16:49 <+bridge> [ddnet] I could ask my local physicist 16:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] Or the existance of complex signals in signal theory. Though there we do acknowledge that the extra dimension is for us to have easier math rather than a hidden physical dimension we can’t access 16:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] Maybe the concept of one directional time is just an illusion and in every moment you just are a complete state and knew what happened before but u don't actually live it's just that every state that exists would think exactly that. So while u trying rn u just think u typed before 16:50 <+bridge> [ddnet] But actually u jump around in time the whole time 16:51 <+bridge> [ddnet] Typing 16:52 <+bridge> [ddnet] why does that matter? what would we perceive differently if your proposal was real? 16:52 <+bridge> [ddnet] I think it doesn't matter to distinguish between things that don't lead to different perceptions 16:53 <+bridge> [ddnet] No this is untreated to my original question 16:54 <+bridge> [ddnet] It might be a good tool to figure out what the rules are 16:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] I can invent arbitrarily complex rules for reality 16:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] that don't change anything. I could say that gravity will fail tomorrow at 8 am 16:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] eh 16:55 <+bridge> [ddnet] hm, that does change something 16:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] @Learath2 what are dreams? 16:56 <+bridge> [ddnet] hmm, I can say that protons are actually cute little kittens 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] but they have exactly the same interactions as we currently predict 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] what ? I thought electrons were kittens running all around 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] Sure, but if you can show a much simpler rule in a higher dimensional space governs what happens in the 4 dimensions we perceive, that’s useful as a tool 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] Cure kittens aren’t a helpful tool to do anything 😄 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] ye 16:57 <+bridge> [ddnet] they help to relax 🙂 16:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] I see, yea. I also think that we should favor simple explanations 16:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] out of those that explain the same thing 16:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] whatever 'simple' means 16:58 <+bridge> [ddnet] I believe I’ve read that it’s uncorrected electrical signaling in the brain 17:00 <+bridge> [ddnet] When awake your senses correct what your brain predicts, but when asleep I think those pathways have much less influence so other parts of your brain govern what you perceive 17:01 <+bridge> [ddnet] Though I am definitely no expert and most of my knowledge on these kinds of things rely on a bunch of random things I read over 2 decades 😄 17:01 <+bridge> [ddnet] I think it's also a way for the brain to replay what you lived to prepare itself for the next time. Kinda a way to learn 17:01 <+bridge> [ddnet] like an AI, it learns with itself by replaying what it has seen 17:08 <+bridge> [ddnet] The fact that learath is 12 and thinks like an old wise man is impressive 17:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] He is not 12 years old, he has been helping DDNet for 12 years* 17:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] He started tw coding with 12 17:21 <+bridge> [ddnet] So he just be 24 now xd 17:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] Must 17:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] He's 12 since 12 years ago 17:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] Ez 17:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] I still hope he joins a compiler team some day 17:22 <+bridge> [ddnet] We solved the equation 17:23 <+bridge> [ddnet] He's 12 since 12 years 17:49 <+bridge> [ddnet]
