Framedragger: (their "hybrid implementation" assumes
a good symmetric-key cipher..)
Framedragger: though
a "hash-free variant" appears to be possible, so maybe there's that; need to check.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-31 19:45 asciilifeform: i never really liked the idea of
a hash.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-31 18:00 asciilifeform: trinque: the folks payin' $10k/mo for
a 1room flat ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think they had actually figured out by the end of the 80s that "everything" is
a bad sort of books to have.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 18:05 phf: no, but i've seen some extensive libraries in apparatchik homes that i know for
a fact nobody read
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473729 << this was so common in romania (for some reason romanians were even MORE crazy book-militant than the ru), that
a) there was
a state-sponsored, official "books" edition/complete library (called "biblioteca pentru toti"). cheap paperbacks, fixed format made to fit preexisting standard shelving, decent antologies of reasonable titles. this was like you know, the prole version of "it's
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's how cars ended up with
a dollop of hot plastic on top. "suv"s my foot. it's just ldks, for "locals don't know shit"

a real airplane landed on cargo cult island, it will promptly be ripped apart for parts to decorate straw planes the moment you look away
mircea_popescu: western civilisation died (again) because of its shitty books (again). not in spite of them, not unrelatedly, nothing else - BECAUSE the books were bad. it's poisoned and killed us and that comes with
a fucking smithing the likes of which has never been seen
mircea_popescu: you can't find
a book that's not informed by either
a christian or socialist notion of theosophy. neither of these are intellectually acceptable, or even digestible. the dumb will have to be washed off books before they may be instruments of human thought again. asciilifeform does not feel this because he insists on only reading an (insignificant) fraction, math is math eh.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 17:49 phf: pre-80s hard bounds as
a source of knowledge is
a here and now sort of source, same way as pre-2005 amds, etc. not only is it
a limited source, it is also unstable.
a year from now, we're going to see all the fullstack developers switching to "classics library", and buying up last-known-prints on ebay for +++ bezzle dollars on ebay
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473708 << note that renaissance happened roughly speaking in the sense that
a bunch of bloggers, pico & co, who had developed both their taste and knowledge in
a blogging sense strictly stumbled upon
a cache of "things you call books today much in the way you'll call them blogs shorty - they were rolls though" which held their own ;
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:56 diana_coman: life costs quite
a lot in itself and the more elaborate you make it basically, the higher the cost, of course
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:50 asciilifeform: for instance, even mircea_popescu does not seem to be able to find me
a phuctor box that will stay up
shinohai: ^ I was gonna do
a Qntra on that since it ties into my last article on teh guy, but lazy today.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-25 19:25 pete_dushenski: phf: loving the new search. think you could add
a button or link back to the logs so i don't have to diddle the url every time ?
a111: Logged on 2016-02-02 15:58 ascii_butugychag: anybody got
a favourite symmetric cipher, incidentally ?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: couldn't you use an argument of
a similar form to say that e.g. AES depends on luck? (2^256 keyspace of luck, for example..)
trinque: I'll make no argument that RSS is sane, only that it has
a definition
phf: i wrote
a bunch of rss tooling and dealing with non-unique ids is
a bitch. i usually hash entry for entries with blank ids, and return that as key.
trinque: yes, I can be
a contrarian too.
trinque: that one can reprogram them doesn't invalidate the fact that having to do so is
a sign that your culture's not producing functioning adults
phf: none do,
a working machine ~always~ has signs of its master's works
☟︎ trinque: I work 30hrs
a week doing something not economically useful yet bitch to my Yelp CEO that I am not paid
a 'living wage' in
a city ever less hospitable to life generally
ben_vulpes: that the socialist call for us all to put our shoulders to the grindstone to make the world
a better place only taxes those who work to benefit those who don't
BingoBoingo: Anyways if mice are too big, blast the cat with some Tren. Cat is just
a smaller racehorse that's already clued in on protein.
ben_vulpes:
a friend of mine recently broke up with his girl of 4+ years, and i realized during conversation about his new dating adventures and the kinds of women he was encountering that i would have patience for approximately zero reeducation at this point in my life.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i think the 'entitlement' to which trinque refers is
a specific set of attitudes common to 'millenials'.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-31 18:08 trinque: gonna take
a lot of mircea_popescutronium to cure the entitlement, face or no face

☟︎ BingoBoingo: O just make
a snap judgment and pass. That CVS prolly at least has
a hawt-ish cashier somewhere.
BingoBoingo: She's
a transplant to the bay area failing to afford it. Likely
a female to mayo transgender with asperzorsations of leaving Ohio behind.
☟︎ phf: well, conference scene's been taken over particularly hard by the usual suspects. it was mildly useful back in 2005, because you could get
a face to face, or
a beer session, with useful people. for example at pycon i got to spend time with the entire twisted team, which was at
a rear end of me trying to grok their stack, so i had
a lot of very productive learning sessions
BingoBoingo: Have you googled her pictures? Not even
a lead mine.
ben_vulpes: birds of
a feather were the only talks worth the time
trinque: I can either check each field for differences like
a retard or just be given an ID that identifies the event, not the thing to which it happened
mircea_popescu: i suspect sweat actually is also
a major factor ; definitely urine. complicated matter and i'm lazy. let the curious mind run their own studies.
mircea_popescu: it's
a funny if poorly studied phenomenon : much like immunity in young children is mostly herd-based,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
a) most surpriseful of all surprises b) girls of the age living "alone" ie, not tonsils deep in other girl's cunts don't usually have regular periods.
mircea_popescu: it's
a very "western world" phenomena, roughly half the beatings in half the girls in the first half year have something to do with "i was surprised by X periodic event", usually
a bill or w/e
mircea_popescu: "i've never observed these things show up regularly on
a monthly schedule befoar"
mircea_popescu: dude had an unexpected expense in the form of
a lapsing subscription, being the idea.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so dude goes in, wants to buy coppers, which me and n other people tell him to simmer down and figure out the game first ; then spends the next weeks hussling bitcent at
a time.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:48 diana_coman: well,
a pgp message at this point quite serves as that letter I guess
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473670 << this is
a fallacy of the first order. it could be presumed to come from some sort of cleric, who could be presumed to be some sort of transposition of that horror which today i call
a nigger. i see no benefit accruing to me on this score for going back to 1850 or 1650.

a miserable idea to begin with. cry me
a river of small violins over how the illo tempore "good socialism" of "every man had
a wife" is some sort of something i should care about.

a lot of cocks do not result in
a "loose" pussy ; they result in
a well musculated, pleasurable fuckhole. similarly so, the only thing that results in thick "mental carpaces" are "healthy" ie deratized situations.
mircea_popescu: good thing they didn't make
a tin woman, in the shape of
a raindeer with
a funnel up its butt.
mircea_popescu: wasn't in the 40s either, more of
a "holy shit engineering feat" than
a "omaigerd its incomprehensible arcana"
mircea_popescu: now, not to say that current chinese capacities in rocketry and so on aren't mostly chinese. they are ; with
a little dab of helping from anyone available to help for
a reasonable fee, the swiss, romanians, jews, whoever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: used to be, you know, back in the 80s, china was roughly speaking
a very large vietnam.
