A lot of things have been going on over the course of my trip, so
here's a quick update, which necessarily leaves out a lot.
Happy palindromic year, the last such until 2112. A neighbor and I
reasoned that about 1/(b^(n/2)) numbers of length n digits in base b
are palindromic (although I think that's not exactly right).
I flew into Boston for the vacation and was reminded of Michelle a
lot during my brief stay there, because of a memorable trip to that
city with her.
I got some interesting Python code from
Michael Hudson, who
attacked
the ZD problem enthusiastically, deploying both mathematical reasoning
and programming acumen. Maybe I'll post some of his code here at some
point; it came out much more efficient than mine.
It seems that the
"Superpolynomial Subexponential Runtimes" song from the RSA patent
expiration party is
not the earliest example of such a song!
John Gilmore says, in connection with what I wrote about people who
feared sound cards on account of the capabilities they gave to the
public:
Actually this was the reaction of the telco folks (and the phone
phreaks) to the ~1980 introduction of the Apple-Cat // modem by
Novation for the Apple II. It could generate and detect touch-tones,
and could also detect some sorts of signals on the phone line, like
ringing tones or busy signals or voice. This was a 300 baud modem,
with a 1200 baud half duplex (Bell 202) mode as a later extra add-on.
It didn't even permit general D-to-A or A-to-D on the phone line; all
modern modems do that. But it still worried people!
In Northampton, I saw my friend Sarah, who was busy packing most of
the time I was around. She left for a year in Ghana as a
Fulbright Scholar, and
I'm really proud of her! I also saw my friends Maya and Brita, who
are doing neat things a little closer to home, and I had a good time
all around.
I got a cold while I was out here. Darn.
Ole Craig took me to lunch
at Haymarket in Northampton. Thanks, Ole!
That was one stop, as it turned out, in the ritual of eating in many
of my favorite Northampton restaurants. I'm still working on the
Northampton restaurant circuit tour, and I'll have to come back again
to continue it (not that San Francisco doesn't have great places to
eat -- these places just have such sentimental value for me).
For the new year, I went off to Eric's house in Hopedale -- for my
seventh annual new year celebration with him. This year, we cut back
a bit on the technology, although I spent some hours writing a C
program which would render the current number of seconds remaining
in the year in a bit-mapped font on a text terminal. That was fun.
The most impressive part was that I was writing it in ANSI C, in the
vi editor, on a Macintosh laptop running Mac OS X. Their Unix
implementation is that real and that good -- I had
a perfectly functional C compiler, a Bourne shell, and a full set
of BSD-style shell utilities.
I was really impressed with how much Unix has gone into Mac OS X.
They even have an X server, a GIMP port, and ssh and sshd. I felt
right at home in that terminal window, even as various graphical
applications were running around me.
My program built a large array, and, converting the seconds count into
its component digits, sequentially copied rows from the appropriate
digits' bitmap arrays into the larger array. Then the filled part
of the larger array was printed out, centered horizontally, after
the screen was cleared. It worked great!
We played Monopoly (Eric won, displaying substantial business
acumen) and a great game called
Cranium which I first
encountered at Anirvan's party. It was a small party, but a very
nice time. I ate lots of cannoli, as I usually do if they're
around.
There's a TradeWars 2002 game starting at dasbistro.com
in honor
of 2002; to play, just
telnet to port 2002 of
dasbistro.com.
I had heard something about
a car which runs on vegetable
oil, but until this trip to Massachusetts, I hadn't actually
seen one. My mom and I noticed such a car on the highway
around Holyoke; we also noticed that it was going about 70 miles
an hour and passing trucks! One of the best parts is the bumper
sticker promoting the project: "Drive Vegetarian".
I wrote a little search program for
my father's book business
so that you can do on-line searches through a portion of his
inventory (from his own web site, rather than using
ABE or
BookFinder).
Danny Yoo has
been writing Scheme in Python, and the result is his interpreter
PyScheme. It's impressive. It can now run lots of useful things, like
((lambda (x) (list x (list (quote quote) x))) (quote (lambda (x) (list x (list (quote quote) x)))))
which is a Scheme program which prints itself out (a "quine").
I don't watch TV, generally, but my mom got me to watch
Crossing Over with
John Edward, which was impressive, but didn't really shake
my impression that John Edward is a cold reader. Is there anyone
today with the stature of Houdini who could go head-to-head with
the television mediums by imitating their work?
One of the difficulties is that people who go to appear on John
Edward's show are eager to be read by him and enthusiastic when
he reads them -- and in general they believe or suspect that he
has the ability to do that. So there's a difference between
the reaction of a subject who takes the reader seriously as a
psychic and the reaction of a subject who's just been told by
the reader that the reader is a charlatan.
This alone could make this sort of competition impractical. Houdini
could compete on spirit manifestations, because the spirit
manifestations could be observed regardless of whether you believed
in them, and they had no connection to the mental or emotional
state of the participants in a seance. So one medium could produce
a particular manifestation and Houdini could produce the same
manifestation and then everyone except Arthur Conan Doyle would
think that Houdini had debunked the medium. (Doyle, according
to Gardner, would conclude instead that Houdini was a medium as well,
despite Houdini's protestations to the contrary.)
This pattern doesn't cross over, so to speak, to Edward's style of
mediumship. Here so much of the significance is in the subjects'
reactions to the readings -- if they exclaim "Yes, my cousin Laura!"
or "Oh, yes, that's my wife!" we think that Edward is doing a good
job. If they care, we think so all the more. If a
skeptical mentalist could do "the same reading", the subjects
couldn't sustain the same sort of enthusiasm and interest. For
all the power of the suspension of disbelief, we still perceive a
difference between watching a play in which firefighters struggle
to extinguish a blaze and observing that the theater we're in has
just caught fire.
One of the most obvious manifestations of this difference is that
almost all of Edward's subjects conceive of themselves as his allies:
he's helping them get in touch with their lost loved ones. This is
something for which they are
profoundly grateful
and something for which they may have waited for a long time.
Everyone in the show I saw was certainly exhibiting this attitude.
There were no challenges to the medium's authority or veracity, no
criticism of him, no specific questions from the subjects to test
him (Rosabelle, believe!).
I just can't imagine admittedly-fraudulent mediums' subjects showing
that same sort of gratitude, co-operation, and encouragement!
Leonard has
some
pictures from the party; I show up in a few of them. They're
funny!
I agree with Sumana's answer to Hofstadter's problem of explaining
what it means for a number to be a power of two. (There is no
loophole there; an odd number times an odd number always yields
another odd number.) Another possibility is to write
prime(x) = not exists a such that exists b such that a!=1 and b!=1
and a*b=x.
power_of_two(b) = not exists f such that exists d such that f!=2
and prime(f) and d*f=b.
To yesterday's "prime(x)" we would need to prepend "x!=1 and".
I took up Martin Pool's
long-time
recommendation
and bought a copy of the CD Lift
Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven by Godspeed
You Black Emperor!, whose name, like Yahoo!'s, contains an
exclamation point (according to some people's typographical
conventions). It is actually a two-CD set. Parts of it seem
very good to me. I still haven't paid enough attention to the
second CD, but I really enjoyed the first.
It appears that you can
find Godspeed
You Black Emperor on the net.
Thanks for going CD-shopping with me, Brita!
I had a bit of a "this day in history" experience while writing
a letter in the Logan airport. (I got home OK and am refraining
from writing Yet Another Airport Security Commentary in my
diary for the time being. If I don't stop myself, I will write
something about airport security every single time I get on an
airplane, which will be often). Leonard's diary does
this for him automatically, and I think that's what prompted
Sumana to mention that she met him a year ago.
Thanks to my own web diary, I can look up some of what I was up
to a year ago. I was still working for
Linuxcare, and I thought
that too obvious to mention. I had just written a poem called
"Tenebra Appropinquante: A Year 2000 Problem", which I still
have and have still not published. (That poem, in turn, looked
back at what I was doing in early January 2000, now two years ago.) I
was working on a great hardware project (a 480-watt 7-segment
incandescent digital display, which was used in counting down to the
new year). I received some powerful electrical shocks because I worked
on telephone and lighting systems with live current without wearing
gloves. My arm injuries were very troubling and very different
from what they are today (numbness rather than shoulder pain,
for example).
You could try browsing my
web diary from a year ago to see what I thought was worth
sharing at that point. I hadn't begun this diary (vitanuova),
so everything there is originally taken from Advogato.
Mailing a couple of postcards, I flew to San Francisco from Logan
via Midway on ATA (famous for being cheap and also for being the
only U.S. airline whose name is a Hayes modem command). Midway seems
extremely lame and boring compared to O'Hare. For one thing, all
the concessions are run by the same company! So for
example you might see five shops which sell sandwiches and
drinks, but each of the shops is selling exactly the same
sandwiches and drinks. At O'Hare, there are artworks on display,
there are several different restaurants (although I didn't actually
find any I was extremely enthusiastic about), and there's more of a
variety of things other than terminals. When you have to spend
some hours inside a building waiting, that's helpful.
I promised to forego the security discussion, so I will.
On the planes, I took a nap, and watched most of Along Came a
Spider without sound (amazing how you can still understand
it -- I once watched The Hot Zone without sound on
an airplane and similarly managed to understand it). The only
tricky part was the occasional plot twist, because sometimes the
details are explained only through dialogue. I also read most
of The Fellowship of the Ring, after buying a
paperback copy of The Lord of the Rings in an airport
bookstore at Midway.
It was amazing that the airport bookstore had almost no books I
wanted to buy. Practically everything was either recent novels
(trade paperback, mainly mass-market mysteries and thrillers and
romances) or self-help or tips for business executives. Is
that really all that bookstores sell to "regular people"? I
noticed that there were no technical books and no non-fiction
about anything (nothing narrative, nothing polemical,
nothing historical or critical). What's up with that?
Right before my trip, I bought Bamford's Body of Secrets,
which is his updated book about the NSA. So now I have both
The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets and
am strangely unenthusiastic about reading either one. Maybe I
have soaked up too much NSA history and passed into a cypherpunk
mode in which I only want to hear about contemporary legal and
technical issues in privacy and surveillance. On the other hand,
one thing that's irritating about many cypherpunks is their lack
of knowledge of history -- so I should be sure to avoid the trap
of paying attention to the present day to the exclusion of the
past.
The ridiculous thing is that
I don't even play pool.
Speaking of butterfly effects, my father's friend's decision to drive
me all the way to Logan instead of dropping me off at Framingham
meant that I waiting longer in the airport, felt more bored, and
probably consequently was more likely to buy The Lord of the
Rings at Midway (having already written my postcards at Logan,
and hence not having them available to write there). This, in turn,
will lead to my having read The Lord of the Rings,
which may affect things like whether, or to whom, I get married, or
how many years I live.
I was thinking about that because...
... I read Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman on the
first plane. Someone (my father?) got me a signed copy when it
came out in 1993, and I'd read it then, but I didn't appreciate it
so much at the time. Now I think it's absolutely wonderful. Some
portions are extremely Borges (down to Lightman and Borges
imagining similar scenarios); in fact, a few of the chapters would
have been entirely at home in any Borges short story collection.
One of the themes which persists through the whole book is an
admonition to love and take advantage of life and change. The
sad characters in the dreams are repeatedly those who shrink
from adventure and experience -- although the exact consequences
of doing so depend a great deal on the particular world in
which they find themselves.
One of the dreams had a Sliding Doors-style sequence
in which three different histories befall the same man at once.
This and other material in the book serves to make it clear that
something like whether you have read The Lord of the Rings
or not could actually determine how long you live, and how, and
with whom.
As Malcolm X says on that old Printers Inc. bookmark, "People
don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book".
Two years ago, there was a report that Xerox color photocopiers would
embed a hidden record of each copier's serial numbers into each
copy it produced. Although this was fairly widely documented,
some people persist in disbelieving it. So today, in the course of
a discussion about the IFPI, SIDs, and trade sanctions against the
Ukraine, I decided to ask Xerox.
Xerox's response
clearly indicates that the claims are true:
The Secret Service has the ability to track a particular document to
the source equipment that has produced a suspect image. This information
is used for criminal investigation purposes only. The Secret Service does
not provide this information to private individuals or companies, nor
do they allow other parties to access this information. To detail how
these anti-counterfeiting systems work would only encourage the illegal
acts they are designed to prevent.
Praveen invited me to his friend's place, and we went off to
watch The Lord of the Rings, which turned out to
be sold out. So we went and had dinner at a place called
Golden Era,
in the Tenderloin, a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant to
which Wolfgang took me on the last night she lived with me
in 1999.
Golden Era is great! Go there for dinner!
After this, Praveen's friend taught me how to play Go.
The famous Moxi (not to be
confused with Moxie, though the company's jackets amusingly
enough have orange letters on them) revealed itself.
I finished reading The Lord of the Rings.
My right arm got pretty sore again.
We got some unfortunate news at EFF which will probably be announced fairly soon -- and I tried to stay on top of
other things.
Biella was back from her vacation, and she and Zack and I went to the
BAD meeting in Berkeley, at Au Coquelet on Shattuck.
After that, I talked to Zack for a while, and felt sad, and went back and read some of the poems I wrote in
1998. As always, I was amazed: so, as it says on my wall (thanks, Willow),
quaecumque enim scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt.
Romans 15:4
(Indeed, all the things that were written beforehand were written in order to teach us.)
I've written some Python code which finds port pairs, among other things, by parsing interrogation-mode
dumps. When it's a little cleaner and more capable, I'll publish it.
I'm going to go to MacWorld at the Moscone Center (to work in the EFF booth) and also plan to teach a
Python class at EFF in the evening.
A slashdot article mentioned that the CETI
project has sent
a message into space.
I found it was pretty easy to view the message with some Unix tools and a bit of Python, which we
can only hope has been invented on other planets. Here's what the message looks like to me -- though
I haven't tried to interpret the parts of it which are mathematical and quantitative yet, which would
be another good project. Note: there was artificial noise added to this signal. Also note:
you need a really wide browser or screen (over 127 characters) to view this properly. (You might
also be able to see it by saving it into a text file and then printing it out on a printer using a
monospaced font with a small point size.) Also note: there are bitmapped sketches of nude people here.

I got a haircut which I'm very happy with.
I spent most of two days at MacWorld Conference and Expo at the Moscone Center,
and it was very not bad, although since I don't own a working Mac and usually try to
avoid proprietary software, there wasn't that much there which directly appealed to
me personally. But the Mac and the Mac community still have a fairly high
coolness factor, and I met some interesting people and saw many people I knew.
I did a couple of circuits around the Adobe booth with my EFF hat on and wearing
the FSF's "Free All E-Book Readers & Programmers" button pinned to my shirt
(although I didn't approach anyone from Adobe). It seems that most Adobe reps
there had probably never even heard of Dmitry Sklyarov; in proper perspective,
the Adobe e-Book stuff is a tiny portion of the company's business!
"Adobe's booth is about 60 times as large as [EFF's]." "Yes, but their annual
budget is much more than 60 times ours, so we're doing pretty well, if you think
about it."
I paid particular attention to companies which were selling audio capture or
video capture cards, since we hear so much about attempts (or vague unformed
desires) to regulate or ban these.
I picked up an
iMic
for Sarah from
Griffin Technology, a
cool technology company which was at the show. The iMic is basically a USB
sound card, aimed at the Apple iBook and similar laptops which lack a
built-in line input. (I think Apple could do more to document the fact
that you need something like the iMic if you want to get audio into an
iBook.)
The
Yellow Dog Linux people
were there and gave me a Yellow Dog sticker.
The bad news to which I alluded earlier is that
Jon Johansen has
been
indicted under Norwegian criminal law (in connection with his publication of
DeCSS more than two years ago -- or, some say, in connection with the creation of
DeCSS even longer ago). There is a
free-jon mailing
list at EFF now, parallel with
free-sklyarov.
Yes, Jon really does face prison time if convicted.
Conveniently, EFF had "Free Jon Johansen" bumper stickers printed up in
early 2000, and we still had a few of them in the office, so we were able
to pass them out at MacWorld.
I made the best thing I've made since I started cooking. Mmmmm. But my cooking
is very far from a science and nothing is repeatable; nothing is measured.
This particular dish used: organic soba noodles (bought in bulk at
Rainbow),
sesame oil, House of Tsang stir-fry sauce, soy sauce, green curry paste,
tofu, baby corn, fresh garlic. It worked really well.

A direct link to
the
bill's text is also easy to find.
"... but [a particular quantity] is only $50,000,000,000/year."
(Douglas Hofstadter reported a similar quotation somewhere in
Metamagical Themas.)
CTY-L
has been having a long discussion arising out of
an
article by Courtney Rubin which talks about life at CTY. Many
people felt the article was condescending; I didn't get that
impression. OK, some parts are harsh -- but, overall, I found the
article touching.
I feel less intimately connected to CTY than some people and I didn't
participate in all of the social forms there. For example, I never
went to a CTY dance; I never had a CTY girlfriend; I never kissed or
hugged anyone at CTY. Socializing there for me was much more
intellectual than tactile -- so I remember political debates,
Diplomacy, card games, card tricks, shaggy-dog stories, more card
games, and hearing about public-key cryptography (and hearing for
the first time about the EFF, I believe, unless that was the
following year at HCSSiM). I remember cultural things, and they
were meaningful to me, but I didn't have a girlfriend, and somehow
I have this sense that so many people found CTY meaningful through
having a girlfriend and going to a dance.
And I didn't ultimately succeed in staying in touch with people
from there, which sometimes seems to be a sign of inadequacy.
EFN held
a protest to call for the charges
against Jon Johansen to be dropped;
there are some pictures from it. (I wasn't there or
anything.)
I hope we'll have our own protest here in San Francisco.
I'd had some ambitious plans for travel today on Saturday, but I got
caught up with some projects and didn't go anywhere. Zack gave me
a hard drive, and I tried to get it working. I'm eventually going
to need to re-install. The good parts will then be having network
access, big hard drives, a CD-RW drive, and even the ability to compile
things locally.
There is a famous song called "Die Gedanken Sind Frei" (German
for "The Thoughts Are Free") with a long history and beautiful
melody. Wolfgang found me the lyrics a few years ago, and I
was very grateful; you can find them these days with Google in
a heartbeat, but it was very thoughtful
of her. Today Zack found me an actual recording of the song,
so I want to learn to sing it. It could come in handy in
protests, or (like Galadriel's phial) as "a light to you in dark
places, when all other lights go out".
I'm off to L.A. for CPTWG.
"That guy is very clever. I bet if he were working for the good
guys, he'd be in jail by now."
CPTWG and BPDG were reasonably interesting, and it was nice to
travel with Fred, who put up with all sorts of legal questions
about things related and unrelated to CPTWG.
BPDG is on a fast timeline to do things which affect many
interests. Their work needs public documentation and public
scrutiny quickly.
On the planes, I read most of Software, Shamans, and
Spleens (Boyle) and Entertaining Ourselves to
Death (Postman). Both are full of fascinating anecdotes.
Postman identifies particular things which are wrong with TV,
but suggests that the problem isn't necessarily the content of
TV programming as much as the expectations and habits we get
from TV (such as a short attention span and a difficulty
in following subtleties). He tells some amazing stories about
the implications of literacy in the past. For example:
The first of the seven famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas took place on August 21, 1858, in
Ottowa, Illinois. Their arrangement provided that Douglas
would speak first, for one hour; Lincoln would take an
hour and a half to reply; Douglas, a half hour to rebut
Lincoln's reply. This debate was considerably shorter
than those to which the two men were accustomed. In
fact, they had tangled several times before, and all of
their encounters had been much lengthier and more exhausting.
For example, on October 16, 1854, in Peoria, Illinois,
Douglas delivered a three-hour address to which Lincoln,
by agreement, was to respond. When Lincoln's turn came,
he reminded the audience that it was already 5 p.m., that
he would probably require as much time as Douglas and that
Douglas was still scheduled for a rebuttal. He
proposed, therefore, that the audience go home, have dinner,
and return refreshed for four more hours of talk. The
audience amiably agreed, and matters proceeded as
Lincoln had outlined.
(Entertaining Ourselves to Death, p. 44)
On the plane coming back, a passenger got into an argument with
a flight attendant (as the plane was about to depart the gate).
The passenger ended up swearing at the flight attendant, which
made the flight attendant decide the kick the passenger off
the flight. As soon as the passenger heard that,
he got even more upset. "Why do I have to leave? I just want
to go to Oakland! Just take me to Oakland!"
The flight attendant said again that the passenger had to leave,
and the passenger said he wasn't going anywhere. Immediately,
the flight attendant called out to another attendant, who
radioed the gate and asked for the police. Within about a minute,
a police officer and two baggage handlers had boarded the plane.
"Sir, you have to leave the plane right now." "Why do I have
to leave? I just want to go to Oakland." "The airline doesn't
want you on this flight, so you'd better finish your conversation
with them outside, at the gate." "I'm not going anywhere. Why
do I have to leave?" "If the airline says that you're off the
flight, sir, you're off the flight, and you're going to need to leave
the aircraft right now."
"Can we have backup units to gate 4B? Backup units to 4B,
please." "Roger, we're on the way."
"Now, how do you want to handle this? If you'll get off now,
it's going to be a lot easier than if you wait until they come."
"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to go to Oakland. Why
can't they just take me up to Oakland?"
The passenger and the police officer continued to argue for about
three minutes, and then the police officer picked up his
radio again: "Can we have our backup units on 4B right away
please?"
Within a few seconds, two more armed police officers and
a National Guardsman in combat fatigues carrying an automatic
rifle came running down the aisle. The first police
officer pointed at the passenger and said something like "This
man needs to be off the plane right now"; when the passenger
saw the National Guardsman, he said something like "OK, I'm
coming" and stood up. As soon as he reached the aisle, the first
police officer grabbed his arm; the passenger began to
struggle, and the officer became much more forceful. In a
quick motion (like a magic trick, as they say), one of the other
police officers handcuffed the passenger behind his back (even
though nobody had been able to see the handcuffs), and all
three officers grabbed hold of him. The Guardsman led the way
as the police hustled the man off of the plane (and then one
of them, or maybe the baggage handler, started gathering up
his carry-on items).
That was the biggest adventure of the day, I suppose, much
greater than hearing and inquiring about the various DRM schemes
which were being peddled or hashed out in the Renaissance
Hotel.
Some book on technology quoted a few of these lines from Blake:
Now I a fourfold vision see
And a fourfold vision is given to me
Tis fourfold in my supreme delight
And three fold in soft Beulahs night
And twofold Always. May God us keep
From Single vision & Newtons sleep
I was thinking a lot about "single vision" over the past couple of
weeks. (The book emphasized the "Newtons sleep" part more than the
"single vision" part. Blake was extraordinarily unhappy with
Newton's vision of the world as a deterministic dynamical system.
I remember being excited when I first understood that vision, in
a high school physics class -- to us Newton was a hero almost as
much as to Blake he was a villain.)
I wrote earlier this month in a brief letter (the second brief
letter I sent around the new year) that I used to have the gift
of single vision more strongly than it seems I do right now. I
did conceive it as a gift, where Blake considered it a curse. But
now my single vision seems to be slipping away from me, mainly
against my will.
If I should again write an epic poem to match "Existence and
Uniqueness", maybe it would be called "Loss of Generality".
(I wrote a poem with that title in June of last year, but it
wasn't particularly good, or particularly long.)
Don Marti has a plan to make Google
searches for
"unisys" point searchers to the
Burn All GIFs campaign
web site, which protests the LZW patent.
One tactic to do this is to get people to make links like
Unisys instead of
the more conventional Unisys.
Another possibility, which seems vaguely less manipulative, would
be to write things like
Unisys has gotten the
U.S. government to give it proprietary control over part of
discrete mathematics or
help fight the Unisys
patent on LZW by making the GIF format obsolete or
beware of license fees
charged by Unisys on the GIF format or
software patentees like
Unisys threaten free speech and innovation or
Unisys lawyers say that
sharing and co-operation are "not the American way".
But in general I've been very wary of this approach; it's
close in some sense to what Altavista called "spamming the
index" (although I'm certainly not creating fraudulent web
sites in order to boost something's popularity, as a few porn
sites have done). It seems that it might undermine the
reliability and accuracy of Google, and that reliability
and accuracy is very important.
On the other hand, the enforcement of the LZW patent,
and criticisms of the patent, are real and salient facts
about Unisys. Don said that his opinion about Unisys
was as relevant to web searchers as the opinion of Unisys
itself about Unisys, and it's hard for me to dispute that.
Speaking of Google, various challenges have been floating around
the Crackmonkey list -- one was to find a set of three words,
or two words, which are "common English words" and which together
yield no search results at all. The new challenge is to find
a set of three words (I would say "not including proper nouns")
which yield a single search result which was written by you.
Or two words. I found "suadere superstitiores", searching
for which on Google leads you to
my discussion
of "sex".
She wasn't satisfied with hearing that it was the radiation symbol,
because she didn't have a feel for what radiation is. That one sort of
floored me, because radiation is one of my "basis concepts" that I use
to explain other things. (Yes, I think of my scientific knowledge as
being spanned by a basis set of conceptual eigenvectors. The basis set
idea is also one of my "basis concepts". Yes, I also know that I'm
weird.)
(Steve's
diary, via Sumana's diary)
Subterfugue is great!
It is a Linux program which allows you to intercept and arbitrarily
rewrite or alter the system calls made by any other program. It's
"strace meets expect" -- it's scriptable in Python. So you can
write sandboxes and you can write scripts and very much more. I
spent a while playing with it and will probably spend longer soon.
BPDG rather abruply reached public attention on Thursday with
a
CNet article (which has reached slashdot) closely followed by the
EFF BPDG overview (which I wrote on Tuesday night but which
we didn't get completely finished until Thursday evening).
Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly and
Associates has written a piece called
Open
Source and the Obligation to Recycle which talks about the
problem of things going out of print -- and software being dropped
by vendors and becoming unavailable. O'Reilly argues that there
is a kind of obligation to release things which are no longer
being sold, so that others can benefit from them, rather than
letting them die. (This is especially significant with software,
which may be useful long after it is profitable, but not
useful long after its copyright expires. The software might be
profitable for ten years, useful for thirty, but copyrighted for a
century.)
It's wonderful to see publishers thinking along these lines and
showing an enthusiasm for the public domain. (I'm happy to say
that this is just the kind of thing I'd expect from O'Reilly.)
"Open Source and the Obligation to Recycle" also presents the
company-fails or product-is-withdrawn situation as an example
of a much broader problem:
Simson [Garfinkel]'s comments [on a company which went under and
took its unique and useful software with it] resonated with my own
experience, and not just in the software field. I have often lamented
restaurants that went out of business leaving me pining for a dish
whose recipe I wish they had passed on as a parting gift. I still have
my empty bottle of Neoxyn, the only remedy for poison oak rashes that
I ever found to work, but which was withdrawn by the manufacturer in
the early 1980s "due to lack of market acceptance." My letter to the
company asking for the formula went unanswered.
So one concrete thing that Tim O'Reilly is doing to address these
problems is
releasing ORA's
out-of-print books. These include The Future
Does Not Compute, which I bought used in hard copy
some time last year. You will probably never be able to buy
a printed, bound version of The Future Does Not
Compute from ORA again, but
you can get it
on-line.
Speaking of copyright, recycling, and cultural preservation,
Nick found oss4lib.org,
with information about open source software for libraries
and librarians.
I went to Sumana's party on Friday and ended up staying for a long,
long time. Sumana's diary has a
partial account of what happened
there, with good uses of Dar Williams lyrics.
Since you ask, Sumana, your paraphrase of what I said about you
is pretty good.
At the party,
Zack (whom
Sumana calls "The Good Zack of the East" because he lives in the
East Bay) gave me some copies of the cartoon
"What's Going
On?". And he told me about
vsound, a
virtual sound card for Linux; since that already exists, I don't
need to write it. Interestingly, it seems to use the LD_PRELOAD
approach (which Zack recommended) instead of the ptrace approach
(which I'd be planning to use). ptrace is much more complicated,
but LD_PRELOAD seems much easier for "tamper-resistant" software
to avoid. (For example, such software can write its own internal
version of stdio instead of using stdio from glibc. The
RealPlayer could do that -- they could have some <realstdio.h>
and corresponding libstdio.a which makes direct calls to the
underlying read(2), write(2), open(2) and so on.)
If they did that -- and there's no evidence that they have -- then
an LD_PRELOADed library which changed the functions of some selected
glibc calls would be totally and permanently useless. But the
hypothetical realstdio would still have to make system calls and
you could still ptrace it and find out what those system calls
were. So the ptrace approach is more resilient if we assume that
Real Networks is eventually going to do something to try to make
it difficult to capture streams to WAV or MP3 or OGG, instead of
just
suing
people under the DMCA.
As the so-called "DeCSS Haiku" says,
If the player can
decrypt, Wagner has noted,
users can learn how.
Mr. Bad, re demonstrations at Norwegian consulates to free Jon:
(Mi faras mensan noton: trovu vegetaranan recepton por lutefiskon, kun

(I am making a mental note: find a vegetarian recipe for lutefisk,
with a Free Documentation License, and preferably not hard to make
left-handed.)
So I guess the Maldekstrulaj Vegetaranaj Esperantistoj por Dmitri
may be superseded by the Maldekstrulaj Vegetaranaj Esperantistoj
por Jon.

Happy Martin Luther King Day (Observed).
I went to Berkeley and saw Michelle and Anirvan (who was at work
in his new office). Michelle and I ate lunch at the restaurant
formerly known as Lotus Vegetarian and Seafood, which is no longer
particularly vegetarian at all (but still serves everything on its
old vegetarian menu). I kept Michelle up pretty late, and so my
schedule was shifted off a bit and I didn't get to see Anirvan
for too long. His new office is in a very central location,
right near the Berkeley BART, right near The Other Change of
Hobbit. Thus people who work
there will have no
difficulty getting places or science fiction books.
Michelle's sister Nicol has offered to take me to Disneyland next
time I come to the L.A. area for CPTWG. I think I'll take her up
on that. I've never actually been to Disneyland. I will try to
bring some "Free Mickey" buttons (Eldred v. Reno
memorabilia) and perhaps a copy of Copyrights and
Copywrongs).
I managed to get a 2002 calendar, which has some nature scenes
from New England.

This requires JavaScript, but you can rate yourself to find out
how receptive to
Fascism you are (the "F Scale"). I found this via an article
on Kuro5hin. (I tried it, but then my browser didn't have
JavaScript support, so I wasn't able to find out my score.)
After on-line quizzes to rate one's self for Fascism-positive
attitudes, how long will it be until we see amifascistornot.com?
The L.A. Times article I mentioned yesterday has
this big problem: it says that the proposal would
use electronic tags within a digital TV broadcast to dictate whether a
program could be copied through the Net.
OK, but since the Net doesn't have an architecture which
allows you to do that, the tags in question would actually dictate
whether you could record a program digitally at all in an
open and interoperable format (without copy controls). The Internet
DRM Magic feature in which the Internet obeys policies about "whether
a program could be copied" is kind of on the same level as the
e-mail
from Bill Gates which can track its recipients.
Anyway, there have been around three big news stories and a few
little news stories about BPDG, which is infinitely more than there
were before we started our effort to publicize what BPDG was up
to -- or, if you want to be precise, three times as many as there
were before we started that effort, because the CNet article did
come out before our analysis.
That analysis is now the first hit in a
Google
search for "broadcast protection". As Brad Templeton observed,
EFF's web site has more Google juice (he calls it "Google points")
than almost any other.
... on Thursday, the EFF claimed that the companies have formed a
consortium known as the Broadcast Protection Discussion Group to develop
technical standards for new digital recorders. It noted that, once
agreed upon, the specifications could become part of laws requiring
them to be applied to all digital hardware. The EFF noted that if
similar standards had been decreed in the past, they would have
blocked the introduction of the VCR and the photocopier.
(StudioBrief, January 18, 2002)
(I'm proud of that, but you know you're a low-budget or tight-deadline
wire service when you can't even confirm whether BPDG really
exists. Here, if you want to know about the existence
straight from the horse's mouth,
LMI tells you how to join BPDG's
mailing list -- which is not to say that you'll actually be
allowed to.)
"We're from the Enlightenment, and we're here to help you."
I wrote Sumana a message about communication or something like that.
I also sent batteries to Michelle, a copy of "What's Going On?" to
Wolfgang, and to Sarah in Ghana an
iMic.
I'm tempted to send other things to people in the mail (maps,
postcards, playing cards).
It's been really cold out here!
I managed to clean up my room quite a bit.
I had a dream that I was back in high school and taking a
chemistry class. The teacher explained something about
reaction rates or some other rate thing, and assigned us eight
or ten homework problems. So I got home and looked at them
and found them extremely boring and didn't do them. Then the
dream followed me for over an hour as I made the effort to
get in to school. (The funny thing was that it combined parts
of San Francisco public transit and the actual school van that
I rode to school in high school. Also, the schedule was much more
flexible than my actual high school's schedule -- I wasn't expected
to arrive on campus at any particular time and the consequences
of missing class were apparently not very severe.)
I spent all that time worrying about whether the teacher would be
unhappy that I didn't do the homework. She was. I had a whole
discussion with her about this. She insisted that I had to do
the homework because it was a rule, and I insisted that the
homework was boring and that I'd known how to do all these problems
since freshman calculus 8 years ago or more.
We burned our beds and books

I linked to is bogus because it says "and the reason ended" instead of

you try to write "tempora proponere potest" [she can suggest times]
and it keeps coming out "tempora proponere protest".

Steve explains that
quinine
is why gin and tonic fluoresces under ultraviolet light (among
other things). There is an extremely funny anecdote about Jonas Klein
and that fact, but I was told that I'm not allowed to tell it.
Quines,
on the other hand, are not why gin and tonic fluoresces under
ultraviolet light.
Jim Tyre answered my question about a Library of Congress claim of copyright in its
catalogue:
Despite the seemingly clear language of
17 USC 105, it has been interpreted to deny copyright protection to U.S. Gov't works only within the U.S., not worldwide.
The idea is that because most other governments do copyright their original works, there is no good policy reason for the U.S. to give more than what it or its citizenry gets.
"Hofstadter should just have thought up Lisp; it would have made his

I cleaned up a lot more, and also cooked. Green curry, hoisin
sauce.
The bleach really managed to get rid of a lot of the mildew on our
bathroom walls.
Sumana says:
It takes practice to remember/comprehend, for example, that "if p then
q" is equivalent to "p only if q," but I have it almost down now.
I remember having some debates at CTY about the interpretation of
"if p then q"; for one thing, it seemed that the formal logic
definition was different from ordinary uses of "if". The
canonical example was something like this:
Your mom says "If it doesn't rain, I'll take you to the park".
Then it rains, and she doesn't take you to the park. Did she
speak the truth?
The formal logic conclusion, which is very sensible, is that
she did speak the truth: if it didn't rain, she took you to the
park. (To add a Hempel kind of twist: it's equally true that,
if it didn't rain, she took you to Jamaica, and that, if it
didn't rain, she didn't take you to the park, and that, if it
didn't rain, she killed you.)
Some people would worry about your mom's intentions or
prospects or abilities, though. So she might have been lying
in the sense of trying to mislead you about what she intended to
do. Maybe she never meant to take you to the park at all, no
matter what, and in that case isn't it a little strange to say
that her promise came out true when she was deliberately
deceiving you all along?
Some of the difficulty here comes from deeper conceptual problems
with assigning truth values to statements in the future tense.
For example, if I say "I will come to your house tomorrow",
there are many possible interpretations about the truth value:
If I ... don't intend to come, and subsequently don't come, or
If I ... don't intend to come, but subsequently come, or
If I ... intend to come, but subsequently don't come, or
If I ... intend to come, and subsequently come, or
If I ... have no idea whether I will come, and subsequently come, or
If I ... have no idea whether I will come, and subsequently don't come,
then was the statement true when I made it, false when I made it,
or did it have no particular truth value when I made it? Is it
true now, or false now?
I remember lots of situations where people promised things and
then didn't do them, but felt that they hadn't lied because they'd
actually meant or tried to perform the acts they promised. I
can't think of anywhere else where mental states matter quite so
much. In fact, we tend to distinguish between the case where
you are trying to deceive someone (you believe not x,
but assert x) and the case where you are mistaken (you believe not
x, and assert not x, but actually x). For some purposes, "true"
and "false" don't seem to be quite adequate.
Smullyan alludes to some interesting problems by including in
his words both truth-tellers (who always assert what they believe)
and liars (who always assert what they disbelieve), and
both sane people (who believe every truth and no falsehoods) and
insane people (who believe every falsehood and no truths). These
categories are a little extreme, but, like all of Smullyan's
devices, serve some useful purpose.
Anyway, implication or entailment is a tricky thing. You can do
fine and go far in formal logic just by remembering the truth
table:
p q p implies q
----------------
F F T
F T T
T F F
T T T
and in fact this is extremely useful in logic and mathematics in
general because it lets you make deductions from theorems, and
also do proofs by contradiction and other nice things. So in the
world of deduction, this use of "if" and "then" is not so bad at
all.
But entailment in talking about the future gets into strange
worries about possible worlds; maybe I should study modal logic
in order to have a better vocabulary for talking about that.
The passage of time confuses and complicates many issues.

(The Trial)
I should learn German. Here is the Modern Library version:
But he did not do so, he merely turned his head, which was still free
to move, and gazed around him. He could not completely rise to the
occasion, he could not relieve the officials of all their tasks;
the responsibility for this last failure of his lay with him who had
not left him the remnant of strength necessary for the deed. His
glance fell on the top story of the house adjoining the quarry. With
a flicker as of a light going up, the casements of a window there
suddenly flew open; a human figure, faint and insubstantial at that
distance and that height, leaned abruptly far forward and stretched
both arms still farther. Who was it? A friend? A good man? Someone
who sympathized? Someone who wanted to help? Was it one person
only? Or was it mankind? Was help at hand? Were there arguments
in his favor that had been overlooked? Of course there must be.
Logic is doubtless unshakable, but it cannot withstand a man who
wants to go on living. Where was the Judge whom he had never seen?
Where was the High Court, to which he had never penetrated? He
raised his hands and spread out all his fingers.

"TVC will be filing a series of class-action lawsuits against
libraries refusing to filter pornography from their computers."
I wonder if there's a realistic way to turn this around and produce
a similar level of public comment and outcry against censorship.
Probably not, because the view that libraries shouldn't use censorware
was polling -- if I remember correctly -- somewhere below 30%. Of
course, it all depends on how you ask the question; if you include the
word "pornography", censorware polls much higher, and if you include
the word "censorship", much lower. If you mention incidents in which
people used libraries to seek sexual gratification, it again polls
higher; if you mention incidents in which people were prevented from
using libraries to do research, or to find supportive communities,
I hope it polls lower. (You could also mention political biases,
and so on, but some people consider censoring gays and Communists
a feature.)
Outside of the EEOC business, the court results on this issue so
far have been positive: a lawsuit seeking to compel a library to
use censorware was unsuccessful, and a lawsuit seeking to compel
a library not to use censorware was successful. (Yes,
I know that's a bit of an oversimplification, Jim.)
I'm sure I've mentioned before the amusing situation that we
have the position that libraries may use censorware,
must use censorware, and must not use censorware,
and that I've seen all three views represented on a single panel.
The activity of searching for word pairs on Google which give
particular kinds of results is called
Googlewhacking,
and it seems to be evolving and expanding.
I'm still working on some software to help TW2002 players. Currently,
I've written a telnet client in Python which allows you to download an
interrogation mode dump of intersector warps and port reports, and
another Python script which allows you to analyze that data for
port pairs and for dead ends (also called "cul-de-sacs" or
"chimneys", especially when they are multi-sector dead ends).
The latest features include the ability for several teammates on
a corp to send their logs to a central location for combined
processing, which may lead to more port pairs being discovered
(if two members have each visited different sectors which together
make up a pair).
Isenberg, noted advocate of the end-to-end model on the Internet,
has come out with an essay on
The Best Network
(no, it's not about Best Internet,
now part of Verio). He laments that the best network for consumers,
which has features like end-to-end connectivity, is not the most
profitable for ISPs.
Isn't there a general problem there around things like planned
obsolescence? interoperability? and in particular vendor-independence?
For example, free software allows anyone to fix bugs; proprietary
software requires the original vendor to fix them. To some extent,
vendors have an incentive to provide software that only they can
maintain; it provides them with a stronger guarantee of future
revenues.
In the same way, network service providers have an incentive to provide
non-generic connectivity so that people can't just switch to another
ISP and get the same service. AOL has gotten rich doing this (among
other things). One of the things many technical people hate about
AOL is the fact that you can't switch and that it's proprietary;
a reputable ISP would never try to trap you by offering its own
non-IETF protocols and so on, or so we imagine. But, strangely,
many people don't mind the loss of generality, even like it,
even claim to prefer it.
Almost two years ago, I mentioned
"the consequences [...] of saying
'I tend to be attracted to people who are [...]'". I could
mention some of those consequences -- but one is a sort of loss of
generality, I think. There are different kinds of "generality":
one is the quality of being true in many or all circumstances, or
possible worlds. Another is the quality of being true of many or
all objects. So there is the generality of the Borges story in
which
"In every one," I pronounced, not without a tremble to my voice, "I am
grateful to you and revere you for your re-creation of the garden
of Ts'ui Pên."
and then again there is the generality of a theorem:
for all a: for all b: for all c: for all d: if a*b=c*d and a is prime
and b is prime, then c=1 or d=1 or c=a or c=b.
This project continues to be very interesting. If I had a few
thousand dollars to spare, I might want to buy an ADC card and
try out this code. Some year soon, hams may begin to give way
to programmers, for "everything wants to be software".
There are an amazing number of vendors of ADCs and DACs out there.
It's really a whole industry that does a brisk and competitive
business. I'm now on a quest for an ADC with
"a 10+ bit converter and 20-25 million samples per second" being
sold for under $1,300. Oh, and it's got to have a PCI interface.
If you're reading this and you happen to know of one, please let
me know, unless you're an adversary who isn't allowed to share
useful information with me.
When the proper software is out there -- and it's probably GNU
Radio or a related project -- there may be an interesting political
struggle over access to fast generic ADCs. We're hearing all the
time that the more radical elements in some of the copyright
industries don't want the public to have that capability,
unless it comes with DRM (e.g. "watermark detection" or, for the
special case of NTSC, "Macrovision detection"). I guess it's a
good thing that "data acquisition" or "sampling" is such a big
industry, because those have a way of avoiding being abruptly
legislated out of existence, even when they make things like
addictive carcinogens.
Someone, either Lessig or someone on dvd-discuss, likes to point
out that devices specifically designed to kill people (handguns)
are legal, even while other devices (and even
speech acts)
are banned because they might facilitate copyright
infringements. This is not meant as an argument that handguns
should be banned, but it should highlight the difficulties that
legislation in the U.S. has in making up its mind about how the
liability or responsibility of a manufacturer for abuse of a products
should work.

I'm curious about the theoretical limits of tamper-resistance and
reverse-engineering resistance. Clearly, at any given moment, it's
an arms race. But who is destined to win it in the long run?
I was very interested in a result which Prof. Steven Rudich of CMU
told me about -- the non-existence of obfuscators. There is a
research paper on this:
http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/barak01impossibility.html
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~rudich/papers/obfuscators.ps
"[A]n obfuscator O [...] takes as input a program (or circuit) P and
produces a new program O(P) that has the same functionality as P yet is
'unintelligible' in some sense. [...] Our main result is that, even
under very weak formalizations of the above intuition, obfuscation is
impossible."
Rudich said that his collaborators' impossibility proof hadn't stopped
commercial software vendors from continuing to develop obfuscation
techniques, but that's not surprising. (I do enjoy mentioning this
impossibility proof whenever I hear about obfuscation, though.)
The result applies both to software obfuscation and to circuit
obfuscation. (I need to think a bit more about its scope. As I
understand it, there _do_ exist obfuscated programs -- which perform
a function but which can't be "understood" -- but there are just no
reliable algorithmic techniques for obfuscating an arbitrary piece of
code.)
Now, programs can attempt to tell whether they're being run under
debuggers, but, at least in open-source operating systems, there's no
ultimately reliable way to decide. When you ask the operating system
"am I traced?", it can just say "no". Simulators and debuggers are
becoming a lot more sophisticated, and there's no indication that
"software protection" is any more effective now than it was in the
1980s. (The DMCA has made it more "effective" in a certain sense,
by creating, as Judge Kaplan said, "a moat filled with litigators
rather than alligators".) There are also really cool things like
Subterfugue:
http://www.subterfugue.org/
But this obviously doesn't say anything about tamper-resistance at a
physical level, in hardware, because of devices which can destroy
themselves, whether with thermite or with some active tamper-detection
circuit, when they "believe" that some probing activity has exceeded a
particular threshold. Software simply can't do that unless it can
communicate with some tamper-proof authority (a hardware dongle or a
revocation entity).
On the other side, probing and imaging techniques have been getting
more sophisticated all the time. Medical technology has produced all
kinds of non-invasive scanners (CT, MRI, SPECT, PET, etc.) and
researchers have been using microscopes to look inside of many
"tamper-proof" smart cards. A device which carries its own power
supply can _try_ to detect that it's been scanned (the equivalent of
software detecting that it's being traced or running on a virtual
machine), and certainly many of the medical imaging techniques use
some sort of active irradiation or otherwise provide a lot of energy
which a device could detect (assuming there's no way to disable the
device's power supply or otherwise destroy the tamper-detection logic).
So maybe devices could be made
I understand that the state of the art in hardware favors the reverse
engineers in most cases, but a lot of people still have confidence in
the ability of hardware engineers to create genuinely tamper-resistent
devices. And some people believe in particular contemporary designs
and products.
A couple of years ago, I heard about a technique called
interaction-free measurement, which uses quantum physics to measure or
photograph/image an object _without touching it or interacting with it
in any way_ (from the point of view of classical physics); this was
colloquially called "seeing in the dark" because no light or other
electromagnetic radiation need end up being incident on the target
object.
http://cornell.mirror.aps.org/abstract/PRA/v58/i1/p605_1
Does IFM justify the conclusion that tamper-resistance in hardware
will never be achieved? (There could still be an arms race over
costs and benefits.)

In the proposed
final judgment:
J. No provision of this Final Judgment shall:
1. Require Microsoft to document, disclose or license to third
parties: (a) portions of APIs or Documentation or portions or
layers of Communications Protocols the disclosure of which would
compromise the security of a particular installation or group of
installations of anti-piracy, anti-virus, software licensing,
, encryption or authentication systems,
including without limitation, keys, authorization tokens or
enforcement criteria; or (b) any API, interface or other
information related to any Microsoft product if lawfully directed
not to do so by a governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.
2. Prevent Microsoft from
for the API, Documentation or Communications Protocol for a
planned or shipping product, (c) meets
, (d) agrees to submit, at its own
expense, any computer program using such APIs, Documentation or
Communication Protocols to
identified in this paragraph.
The remedy does address some big-deal issues around OEM licensing
(preventing Microsoft from preventing OEMs from shipping machines
without Windows), although it doesn't touch shrinkwrap licensing
at all. (It's hard to imagine that coming up in an antitrust
case.) So the "Windows Refund" issue is completely passed over;
there is no discussion of the status of people who buy computers
which come with Windows and won't accept the Windows license.
I've joined the GNU Radio mailing list,

On a parallel tangent (is there any other kind?), I wonder whether
there is a way to get started with FPGAs and VHDL using only free

I cooked dinner for Zack and Kjea, and they really liked what I made.
I liked it, too! My cooking is repetitive but not consistent; this
dish contained sesame oil, House of Tsang stir-fry sauce, garlic,
yellow curry paste, soy sauce, sesame seeds, tofu, a
red bell pepper, bamboo shoots, baby corn, water chestnuts, basil,
curry powder, and garam masala. There was also some brown basmati
rice with some Vietnamese chili garlic sauce.
One person who has written lots about cooking in her weblog is
Deb.
Linking to her makes me wonder about the number of links away
I am from various people; for example, Deb links to
CamWorld which links
to Crummy which links to me.
There is a software company
in Japan (I think) called Garam Masala.
When I was laid off, I remember wondering
whether the
WARN Act applied to high-tech companies' layoffs and concluding
that it probably didn't, because nobody was mentioning it. Perhaps
they just hadn't heard about it. I know lots of people at companies
which apparently had "mass layoffs" under the meaning of that Act,
and nobody who received an advance notification. Usually these
technology startups (perhaps unlike factories) didn't know
what their financial position would be in 60 days. The decision to
make the layoffs was definitely often formed on shorter time scales
than that.
(From a Crackmonkey post.)
So, which gates (single-valued Boolean logic relations) with n inputs
are universal?
There are 2^2^n such gates, and I know some specific cases of
universal and non-universal gates, but not an efficient way to
determine whether an arbitrary gate is universal.
For n=1, the gate {0: 0, 1: 1} is not universal, and {0: 1, 1: 0} is
universal.
For n=2, the gates are
{00: 0, 01: 0, 10: 0, 11: 0} # ZERO
{00: 0, 01: 0, 10: 0, 11: 1} # AND
{00: 0, 01: 0, 10: 1, 11: 0} # NOTIMP (NOT (A IMP B))
{00: 0, 01: 0, 10: 1, 11: 1} # A
{00: 0, 01: 1, 10: 0, 11: 0} # NOTRIMP
{00: 0, 01: 1, 10: 0, 11: 1} # B
{00: 0, 01: 1, 10: 1, 11: 0} # XOR
{00: 0, 01: 1, 10: 1, 11: 1} # OR
{00: 1, 01: 0, 10: 0, 11: 0} # NOR
{00: 1, 01: 0, 10: 0, 11: 1} # XNOR
{00: 1, 01: 0, 10: 1, 11: 0} # NOTB
{00: 1, 01: 0, 10: 1, 11: 1} # RIMP (B IMP A)
{00: 1, 01: 1, 10: 0, 11: 0} # NOTA
{00: 1, 01: 1, 10: 0, 11: 1} # IMP
{00: 1, 01: 1, 10: 1, 11: 0} # NAND
{00: 1, 01: 1, 10: 1, 11: 1} # ONE
and I know that 5 are universal (AND, OR, XOR, XNOR, IMP) and
6 are not (ZERO, ONE, A, B, NOTA, NOTB, AND, OR) and I don't know
about the other 3. (By symmetry, RIMP must be.)
What does it mean for a gate to be universal? It means that, by
applying it to itself in various ways, you can produce any other
gate. For example, to produce NOT from NAND, you can do X NAND X=NOT X.
And then you can get AND: NOT (X NAND Y)=X AND Y. And OR:
NOT((NOT X) AND (NOT Y))=X OR Y. (Thanks, DeMorgan.) And now XOR:
(X AND NOT Y) OR (Y AND NOT X). And XNOR: NOT (X XOR Y). And IMP:
NOT (X AND NOT Y). Anyway, that's just one example -- the universality
of NAND. But how to we know if an arbitrary gate is universal? How
many gates with n inputs are universal?

might help. (I don't think I have my

be ideal. I used to be able to fly with that, and I'd probably still
be able to fly with it if I still had it!)

I wrote this Python program which lets you experiment with logic gates.
I see two interesting problems. First, the memory use and processor
time associated with generating exhaustive lists of gates is pretty
substantial. Second, and closely related to that, there are a lot
of gates! With zero inputs, there are two gates; with one input,
there are four; with two inputs, sixteen; with three inputs, 256;
with four inputs, 65536. Each input you add squares the
number of gates which are possible! I've managed to use this code
to generate an exhaustive list of the 65536 four-input gates, but
I stopped there, because the next step is the 2^32 or 4294967296
gates of five inputs. But the program can also produce an arbitrary
gate efficiently, without actually enumerating every single gate of
a particular size.
Yay for nested_scopes! Boo to the old Python scope rules!
