mircea_popescu: i don't think one third of present "first world" folk would pass a rigorous sanity check as executed by 1916 mental health practitioners. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hanbot you know, looking through it... one thing that struck me about the abundance of patently insane esl folk is, this strange, rare (from a clinical pov) tendency to minutiously document their whatevers. ☟︎
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> in other lulz, http://dpaste.com/0YXY6DY << what's a cock & ball torture worksheet anyway?
mircea_popescu: or maybe the day BingoBoingo wanders into a cunt and the cunt doesn't let him leave/
ben_vulpes: boeck's going to show up with all of the keys and a backdated modulus or two now
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it had the biggest discone antenna i've ever seen on a roof
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can't recall who's wash ro ambassador. but traditionalyl that thing's a total rat's nest of spyppls.
mircea_popescu: fuck, 50 years ago people'd be so impressed you had a computer at all they'd hire you. etc.
shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 I almost have bot able to accept tickets, needs a few tweaks.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-12#1466205 << who thought it was a good idea to a) send luke-jr on a diplomatic mission to tmsr b) with no formal ask ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChtuyP0VEAQZlY1.jpg << dude this guy... a) my enchiladas beat his tacos, by a very long shot ; b) wtf office is that omfg.
asciilifeform: turducken?! the man is a coprophag ?!@
mircea_popescu: so word around the campfire is that president donald trunkduck is going to have a turducken dinner for his wh inauguration.
shinohai: bwahaha I have a `t` bot working mod6
mod6: i'll work on it a bit more later.
mod6: want a tbot sneak peak?
BingoBoingo: Too early to tell, but it only too MPEx what, a month of beta then 30 BTC, 50 BTC, moon?
mircea_popescu: i guess one thing here is, maybe qntra should have a lexicon ?
BingoBoingo: Perhaps not, I'll replace it with a better article from Trilema
mircea_popescu: "From Ernst Katlenbrunner to Preet Bharara, a history of SS Police and Policing"
mircea_popescu: phf for THAT kind of pairing, you can't beat irc pairing. it's, in a sense, what i do all day, let "weaker" (ie, more specialised) pairs drive, i got a whole raft of 'em.
mircea_popescu: i think i may even do it that way deliberately - make it a girls only corporation and fu. just to bother teh ustards.
mod6: we'll have to put a flag in here so I can give the details later when I go to next_place. XXX
phf: basically when a weaker pair is driving you can whip her into doing it right, otherwise she's just sitting there giving "useful" advice
mod6: a cat-lady, yes.
mircea_popescu: mod6> but since like... at least mid-feb, a lady has been watching my every move. << o no, got lady cat ?!
mod6: and we're moving too fast to wait for someone to wait for a PR, respond in there and then refactor/rearchitect and update PR
mod6: we're writing a lot of the stuff together so architecture decisions aren't "made in a silo"
mod6: but most of it is like talking through a bunch of shit.
mod6: i've been architecting a performance framework
mod6: but since like... at least mid-feb, a lady has been watching my every move.
mod6: worked downtown for a half-day today, wfh rest of day.
mod6: been a long week
shinohai passes mod6 a cold one [~]D
mircea_popescu: the notion that the us would be derping at bnr is beyond fucking lulzy, what's next, a critique of bach by j. timberfake ?
mircea_popescu: "us" can by and large get fucked, they don't have nor had since perhaps morgenthau anyone in a central bank seat that can compare to romania's.
mircea_popescu: for a second there i thought alf moved on to reading bitcointalk for lack of fishfapping material.
asciilifeform: the other boojum is that factoring a ~typical~, vs. 'ideally' generated 1024-bit key, is quite likely much cheaper yet.
davout: according to http://www.tau.ac.il/~tromer/papers/cbtwirl.pdf it'd cost 10mn and a year to factor a 1024 bit number, and the paper is from 2003 apparently
davout: because obviously DNS implementations won't let you use a value that's more than 0XFF chars long
BingoBoingo: Aw, qntra appears DDoS'd now just when I am considering a piece on the increase in young Muricans with ischemic brain damage
mircea_popescu: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/622744/unable-to-install-python-without-sudo-access << apparently you don't need anything other than a writable dir.
asciilifeform just now finished drinking with the rupturefarmz folk wishing him a merry neverneverland
deedbot: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] Outsourcing fever. - http://www.contravex.com/2016/05/12/outsourcing-fever/
a111: Logged on 2016-05-12 17:23 shinohai: trinque: how do i insert a line break? <br> doesn't work it seems.
mircea_popescu: i am not so convinced the past 60 years made the us any less of a culturally impoverished zimbabwe. it's still not a nation, nor much of a country. it doesn't even make much of a hotel, used to be a sort of cote d'azur, now more like jamaica.
asciilifeform: usa of the period was a culturally impoverished zimbabwe
mircea_popescu: it stands then to reason to say that classification is more of a hr/personnel retention tool than a opsec instrument.
mircea_popescu: = "opportunity cost" + "self-actualisation value", and since the sort of idiots that actually take jobs with the nsa have very simple "self actualisation" functions, which often evaluate to "be in a place where things are called 'classified'", then this necessarily is a +.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to look at it from a different perspective : attaching the attribute "classified" to a specified item has a number of effects on the world, some of which can have associated values that are computable. one such example is : that it triggers interest from the enemy, however defined. this is clearly a -. another one such example is : that it makes the workforce feel more important. since compensation always has to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform goes right back to the whole "gestapo couldn't keep abreast of all the phonecalls from the "innocent public" they kept receiving". just like policeman rarely works there as a job, and generally works there as a hedge against his own inferiority complexes, derps working for nsa work there mostly for to be working there.
mircea_popescu: PeterL even if they do, if you can't use capital more productively than 5% a year it's time to go back to school.
asciilifeform: 'For instance, Diffie quizzed an MIT colleague named Dan Edwards, who would join the NSA after graduating. "He was extremely unhelpful," Diffie later reported, "failing to reveal things which were certainly not classified and which I later saw in the bibliography of his thesis." And when a colleague at Mitre went to work at IDA, Diffie asked him if he could share anything about his work. After a tan
trinque: so I'll be digging for a minute
shinohai: trinque: how do i insert a line break? <br> doesn't work it seems. ☟︎
PeterL: so, I bought a house, I figured it is a good time to lock up a loan at 3.5% interest for 30 years
shinohai: The bot section will need a whole new writeup though, since everything was merged into deedbot so gotta get a list of all those features compiled.
shinohai: Trying to get all that stuff mioved over to a site we control. I'm actually liking clwiki now, thanks for providing it!
mircea_popescu: also, please don't refer to tmsr as "a community". it is not "a community", it is your liege. ☟︎
luke-jr: asciilifeform: to show the industry that a hardfork and consensus is a possible thing
luke-jr: so we're discussing whether we can get consensus for a hardfork with the community here
asciilifeform: (and the 'macivory' product that sat in a 68k mac, was simply a card with the smbx cpu in it... no cables at all)
asciilifeform: dc power supply (a monster, iron box in the machine) was made by 3rd party and has labeled screw terminals
asciilifeform: (disk is on a st-506 cable but the pinout is public and you can buy the cable on, e.g., ebay)
asciilifeform: (ti sold what was mostly a straight miniature clone of the original mit lispm)
asciilifeform: a smbx box actually contained not 1 but ~3~ computers
phf: but after shuffling "assembly" and "harness" papers for two days i know for a fact that some dedicated japanese man will be able to lovingly carve an smbx replica as his chosen otaku hobby
phf: and since asciilifeform is a lispm owner i don't see particularly reason why s.nsa shouldn't have access to it
phf: the intended purpose is to help lispm owners maintain systems on their own since the number of available parts is basically two stables in a barn and those are going to the usual suspects
phf: while the bulk is software, a dwindling part of it is repairs and console upkeep
shinohai: I managed to make my own gentoo livecd a few weeks ago ... I used the roll-your-own initramfs thing like jurov posted earlier
a111: Logged on 2016-05-12 13:09 mircea_popescu: jurov> funny that I can't remember any concrete source how I learned that stuff. it somehow accreted <<< thinking about it i dun think a proper source exists, outside of carder forums or w/e equiv.

indoor_jellyfish: without such a document, the masamune replication will get done, but it'll take a while..
indoor_jellyfish: I don't really understand how the C linker or the rest of the linux "toolkit" works (eg, chroot) and a detailed explanation of how I would arrange a set of files + binaries, bundle them and generate a minimal bootable USB would go a long way.
indoor_jellyfish: Does anyone know of a document that explains the linux boot process in detail? I've lisp code that builds /a/ ResuceCD (http://paste.lisp.org/display/315833) but not /the/ ResuceCD needed for Masamune.
mod6: "A republic, if you can keep it"
mod6: 'tis the difference between a republic that people want to be a part of and want to work, and an ad-hoc gaggle of people "doing stuff"
shinohai: I've been lurking here almost a year now, good things happen here that just do not happen elsewhere.
mod6: thanks for your input here, i think it takes a simple idea and scales it up nice.
mircea_popescu recalls the humble beginnings when we came up with the nutty idea of having a bot do voicing in chan. that was never going to work.
mod6: i think it's a fine idea, Sir.
mircea_popescu: truth be told, even without permissioning it'd be pretty useful. that's more like a sort of you know, experimental wunderwaffen division, why not ask for things, see what happens.
mircea_popescu: whereas $bot deedbot me would result in a dump of ticketlist for deedbot encrypted to my key that's of level world and wot and me.
mircea_popescu: $tbot btcbase wot would result in a dump of the ticketlist for btcbase encrypted to my key that's of level world and level wot.
mod6: yeah, that part will be a huge pain.
mircea_popescu: you'd have to give him sql access to a log db.
mircea_popescu: however, a major point of collaboration imo, would be if everyone who runs bots (ie, deedbot, yours putatively, etc) ALSO keep logs, and provide phf with passive redundancy ☟︎
mircea_popescu: truth is by now i'm not even sure exactly how many distinct projects we're managing, but it's over a dozen, and will only keep growing. gotta import some management tools into all this, casual worked long enough
mod6: sounds great to me. i was just talking about stripping down atcbot and reusing the skeleton to build a bot for this.
mircea_popescu: mod6 how about if there was a ticket bot ; and we had a website, a la deedbot.org, where tickets could be seen ; and we had acess control based on pgp, so that either world, lordship, or specified people can see a particular ticket set ?
mod6: when you're done adding/editing or deleteing a ticket, just print them if you wish `./t.pl tickets.txt p`
mircea_popescu: mod6 so how do i create a ticket ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hey mod6 if you have time today to hold my hand with your T, ima move the whole "hey x plox y" thing over. << hi! i should be available in a few hours for sure.
davout: a dumb bot could place wagers on this kind of stuff
davout: i fail to see how this kind of proposition makes any sense in a "pari mutuel" context
mircea_popescu: she passed to the bot a command, which contains a http bit of text. the bot took it and made it a deed ; here : http://deedbot.org/
davout: guess coming from phuctor grants a few bonus points eh
fromphuctor: still how do u defend yourself from MitM attacks without a signede cert ?
fromphuctor: good luck in developing a browser !
