This bug is linked in that GitHub repo that's linked in the star list

Arperum

@Yuuki Make your links clear or ask someone to remove them after you are done testing.

Nate Kerkhofs

I've read the report about it. Basically, if you unescape %%30%30 once, it turns into %00, which is a nullchar, and thus invalid

fredley

@murgatroid99 Hovering over that link does not crash my browser

Nate Kerkhofs

so the entire URL is invalidated. The thing is, however, the URL gets validated BEFORE the unescaping happens

so the URL gets marked as valid before it's unescaped, but turns invalid after escaping

Which means you got an invalid URL that is handled as a valid URL

Unionhawk

Yeah, %30 is 0

That was quick (NSFW)

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 Missed that

murgatroid99

Basically, the line is unescaped twice, and marked invalid the second time, but the calling function doesn't check because the URL is guaranteed valid

guaranteed valid at that point in execution, I mean

Nate Kerkhofs

Thing is, if you just have a URL with %00, it works fine

Because that URL is encoded fine

murgatroid99

It's because it's double encoded that it becomes invalid at that specific point in the code

Kevin van der Velden

Probably because they went "Hey! This is %00, that's not valid" and that way goes around that issue somehow

murgatroid99

3:12 PM

If the URL has %00, it becomes invalid at a different spot, and it's fine

Nate Kerkhofs

Brewfest is back in WoW, and with it comes doing the same boss 6 times a day for 18 days in the hopes of getting a mount

Kevin van der Velden

* Canonicalization of the path hits the "%00" sequence, unescapes, sees this is a 0 char which is invalid in URLs, leaves it escaped, but marks the resulting URL as invalid.
* Once we return back to GURLToDatabaseURL(), it calls .spec() on the new URL, expecting it to be valid, since the input URL was guaranteed to be valid and we merely removed the username and password. This DCHECKs.

That's the relevant bit I think

Which of the stories are you thinking of anyway? Little Lost Robot is probably the most well-known, given that it is the inspiration for the I, Robot movie

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy that one then

Private Pansy

And also Robbie, which I believe is the first Susan Calvin story

Kevin van der Velden

I dunno

Note again: I haven't read them so

Private Pansy

The name is kind of fairy tale, isn't it?

Once upon the time, there was a little lost robot...

The marked characteristics of a fairy tale are - they're short - most fairy tales you remember have source text that are under or around 1000 words long, which is remarkable considering how verbose the literature of that era is

They usually have a moral, expressed fairly overtly, through the protagonist's actions and subsequent fate

They're very parsimonious in terms of their description and setting. They favor a very simple and direct form of storytelling

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy I read that as Susie Calvin story.

I chalk that up to wanting another Calvin and Hobbes comic.

Private Pansy

3:31 PM

Little Lost Robot is basically a detective story.

Susan Calvin has to identify a robot, out of 62 other identical ones, that has one of its Three Laws turned off

Turning it into a fairy tale would be... interesting

Wipqozn

@Sterno Good luck sir!

@Sterno Are you getting checked because of symptoms, or just thought it was a good idea given your wife?

Private Pansy

It would actually make a really good hard boiled detective story or a Sherlock Holmes story

Fairy tale? a bit more icky

And I'm not just talking about the fact that it's robots

murgatroid99

s/robot/shapeshifter/?

Someone has to distinguish a shapeshifter from among a group of ordinary humans?

Private Pansy

Fairy tales are not high fantasy

We discussed golems as a possible predecessor to robots in fiction

That'll do, so that's the simple part. The hard part is the moral, and keeping the story same while shifting the entire structure, setting and compressing it down to 1000 words

Yuuki

@PrivatePansy Is it unknown which of the Three Laws has been turned off?

Private Pansy

3:40 PM

@Yuuki The First Law was modified such that the part about not allowing harm to come to humans through inaction was removed

They still cannot hurt humans directly, and must obey the other two laws

murgatroid99

If I remember right, that ended up not being the distinguishing factor that allowed them to discover it. Instead, it was an upgrade to its eyes that let it see extra wavelengths

Private Pansy

I'm reading the story right now. There is a thread of tension running through the entire story - Susan insists that the only thing keeping the robots from turning homicidal is the first law, in its complete form

After reading a few fairy tales, you realize they're all quite stylized

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy I think that's actually pretty reasonable. The three laws are the robots' morality. If the first law wasn't there, there wouldn't really be any reason for them not too kill humans

Private Pansy

@murgatroid99 A little deeper than that, since the First Law was only modified, not removed completely. Also, the robot must have the reason to do so in the first place

Somewhat curiously, it is stated in the story that they have psychology, at least for robots, down to mathematical equations

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy Remember, this story is from 1950. AI was a very young field

Sterno

3:50 PM

@Wipqozn a CT scan for an unrelated thing showed a bunch of nodules in my lungs

Private Pansy

Literally, it was stated that turning off half the Law would result in a complex equation with no nonimaginary solutions

Which is interesting. Not sure if Asimov is just employing the math here as technoblabble

Fairy tales omit a lot of details that stories normally contain. It's how they can be told to small children, and also why they get embedded into our mind so much. Well, that and the fact that they get repeated a lot, and that the tropes that appear in them are reused extremely frequently in all forms of media

Yuuki

Can it be called a fairy tale if it uses science fiction elements instead of fantastical elements?

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy I guess transforming this story into that could be tricky. After all, the lost robot's distinguishing features were a callous disregard for human life and superpowers.

And the moral was basically "be careful what orders you give your robot, even in anger"

Private Pansy

I think so. To be honest, the lecture this week was cut in half because of the sudden announcement of polling day, then compressed further because of the lecture quiz, so we didn't dwell on that much

@murgatroid99 That's not really what I perceived to the point of the story, but it does make for a moral that can actually be written down in a reasonable amount of space

two bugs

@Yuuki "Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from fairies" - Arthur C. Clarke

Private Pansy

3:58 PM

And yeah, that, pretty much

Setting transposition shouldn't be too hard. I was actually thinking of making the story Biblical. Adam and Eve and the Robots.

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy I know, it's not the whole point. It's just the only part that I think could be fit into a "moral of the story"

Yuuki

Anything happened other than some rubbish politics stuff?

@MadMAxJr Yep. You can't ride wormhole fulton back to back, like you can for others though.

@Arperum yay for no more tenants!

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Indeed.

Are you going to try renting again? Or are you just understandably soured after that experience?

"Hi, this is the home, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath. And over here is the chamber of eternal fire, which will open and release the hellhounds upon failure to pay the rent in full."

Kevin van der Velden

Were they surprised they were getting kicked out? =p
