mircea_popescu: i can almost taste those stockings, being what EVERY girl had for
a decade or so. each. and every. one.
mircea_popescu: this "pedigreed yacht rats" exists strictly in your imagination, as
a derivative product of 1970s Burda.
mircea_popescu: though that was much more of
a concern back before transportation
mircea_popescu: so they'll fuck around with the rings, forever. hopefully their children will be raped into sanity. i'm doing
a little towards that, if the children happen to be easy on the eyes and female. that'sall.
mircea_popescu: an order to remove rings is equiv to
a death setence, for them.
mircea_popescu: as children, they stuck their head in
a ring. then they kept adding rings.
mircea_popescu: look : they're what they are. this is pointedly not us. the difference between man and and is that ant is specialized physiologically. man can drop what he's doing and do something else, or pick
a different set of tools, or approach, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: hey, it's
a seclist! what do you want them to discuss.
mircea_popescu: pointedly not what happened there. what happened there was, "this kid made an airplane ; this other retarded kid made
a playdough blob. the first kid called him retarded. let's list them in order : playdough blob ; airplane. let people fly with whichever they choose."
mircea_popescu: anyway, in practical terms - so he references both. good for him. anyone interested in doing some work can look at either site and proceed. i can't find any useful item AT ALL on factorable net. not as much as
a factor or anything. some vague discussions in summary of supposed finds substantiated in no manner. if this is science you can also be pope, why not.
mircea_popescu: "There are even weirder examples, though - e.g., one of Phuctor's factors is 0x115CFF61CFECFF61BE9, where we see three 32-bit limbs satisfying: limb[1] = limb[0] + limb[2] and also limb[2] is small and thus likely didn't come from
a CSPRNG, but possibly from uninitialized memory." << very good point. this person's actually intelligent.
mircea_popescu: phf yes, and the domain was reigstered in 2012. this doesn't serve here : they have to have history specifically in the things discussed. otherwise, it's not unlike someone applying to
a job requiring 5000 hours of flight experience on the basis of his driving license from 1993. fine.. but ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, lettuce read on teh bbc the stuff they read on trilema back in january 2015 and took
a year and
a half to digest! clearly "the media" is relevant, influential and what was the other one.
Chicago: :p some people watch football, some people watch soap operas, some people like talking to
a brick wall on the Undernet.
BingoBoingo: Nah, their strategy is have
a clinton on each line of the ticket
BingoBoingo: Trump is just
a Clinton in huckster clothing
Chicago: BingoBoingo, I'm afraid I don't understand. What do you mean by
a Clinton v. Clinton election?
BingoBoingo: Oh, not today. Just mourning
a Clinton v Clinton election
Chicago: At the time the Barracuda ES.2 drives were manufactured, their promotional materials were quite attractive. As time progressed, there were
a number of problems with them similar to the IBM Deskstar (Deathstar) hard drives.
Chicago: It could be worse. There is
a series of checks, tests and configurations I employ before putting
a spindle into production. This is because I have
a battery of Seagate Barracuda ES.2 drives from circa 2008/2009 which I still want to use. Some of them are just bad, from known firmware problems and the others need to somehow prove themselves to be *good enough* to use for scratch data handling.
Chicago: Otherwise, just waiting on some hdparm security-erase to complete on
a disk, so I can throw it into
a scratch array. I needed some space to work on
a large collection of files, to tarball them before archiving them on tape.
mircea_popescu: the unravelling of the vaccine story recently is rather symptomatic.
a society that no longer accepts the "vaccinarnos es cuidarnos entre todos" is, to use proper terminology, ungovernable.
mircea_popescu: but the fact that there is
a "greater good" pretext to force say germany to put them in,
mircea_popescu: by the time powerful entity sends ddos wave prior to dirty bombs, police's not
a useful expense.
mircea_popescu: not exactly. lafond makes this point, re the difference between
a police force and
a militia. you can't expect the police to protect you against organised violence. it works entirely and strictly for disorganised violence.
mircea_popescu: very much like, say,
a trichinelosis detector. you ~want~ someone somewhere to have these, keep them well oiled and force manufacturers to burn any and all carcasses that come positive.
mircea_popescu: with grafitti it's more
a matter of execution whether it is or it isn;t
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate the "information wants to be free" "legalize dope" etc angle, but i dunno what exactly is the idea. anyone seriously intending to administer anything will have
a ban on moving plutonium around.
BingoBoingo: "reader oriented" operated by
a friendlier variety of spamzors than last ownership group et al.
mod6: further, i feel like there is
a sense of pride that comes from taking the time to do something right, as opposed to doing something quick and dirty.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, he was going on oil for
a while now. carly fiorina, srsly ?! that bitch could sunk
a blue chip. o wait - she did!
mircea_popescu: keychain was
a kludge from end to end. vaguely reminiscent of bitcoin "accounts"
mod6: guy made
a name change to
a fucking abstract method that I use from his package.
mod6: but if you have "foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT" vs. "foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT" with
a different hash because of different build, won't care, you don't get new file.
mod6: it just looks to see if there is
a newer version number by filename itself in the remote repository, and if so, pulls it.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> SHA1 manifest, of course. << lol. i do some shitshoveling at
a place that still uses md5 and sha1 at all times.
mod6: by S. Tucker Taft and Robert
A. Duff
mod6: ok, well, obv we need that shit. lol. just gotta buy
a new book now.
mod6: thanks
a lot for looking through that.
phf: So patches might be there, but not in press, or in
a wrong patchset, or...
phf: I might've missed some, but I also I've never quite settled on
a working "press". I'll revisit it once log settles
mod6: ah. you're missing
a number of the later patches, but maybe that's because it's "shiva" ?
mircea_popescu: there's
a difference between "why should i suck your cock" "because it's here" and "why should i suck your cock, because he says i'm
a slut ???".
mircea_popescu: "this doesn't solve the problem of the sun looking at me funny" "this is not
a problem" "am i thick or what ?!" "no, you're just the sort of fellow that's decided afore the fact that the sun can look at you funny and this matters."
mircea_popescu kinda sees this future, derpy eggs on wheels going around smouldering ruins that used to be us towns, "STOP! Or I'll call you
a bad name!"
meuh: OK, I need to investigate more (going to open again that OpenPGP RFCs) and don't waste your time. I originally tought there was
a bug in the interface that was incorrectly reporting my keys as dupes because I've made
a single armored export of the public key and feeds this as
a single blob to the submission page
ascii_butugychag: there is no way to watch for mischief where modulus is lifted WHOLESALE, without also listing
a boatload of this rubbish, unfortunately.
ascii_butugychag: say you, like
a n00b might, sign the message 'yes, meet me at midnight on the crossroad'
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's some anon russian guy. if you think rando usg endowment is
a better shot...
ascii_butugychag: and the man has to be
a lunatic, who would sign up for this? it is like signing up as court alchemist in 17th c
ascii_butugychag: i suspect i've already been killed and now in
a hell of sorts.
ascii_butugychag: it is, perhaps, why i'm still alive - if 'accidented', then, e.g., trb, suddenly becomes more interesting to
a buncha folk
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: my point was that in nazi land i get ranked as simply
a very lazy nazi who spends time on ???? rather than properly drilling with the other ss men
Apocalyptic: " // I would be curious as to why you suspect such
a thing
mircea_popescu: the notion that usg's word vs tmsr's word has
a chance in hell is lulzy.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
a coupla hours ago i made
a cursory attempt to install
a factorizer lib (linked in logs). i threw up minutes later because obviously it doens't work. put out
a general call, slavegirl picked up the task, installed python 4.4. wrangled for
a while with broken cmake settings (pro tip : cmake is known to not correctly identifgy your python, workable hack in this case is to disable the test and manually fix the f
mircea_popescu: but the cool part is : derp is essentially bringing
a wot-argument-by-another-name.
phf: maybe needs
a 250gb machine
Apocalyptic:
a pitty they don't sign source archives though...
Apocalyptic: i'm not really interested in cado or setting up such
a thing
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: that would be
a great idea indeed, in the meantime if anyone feels like helping me factor my modulus residue let me know
mircea_popescu: incidentally - perhaps
a good idea would be
a tmsr factorization program. something like seti@home, that people can just run on spare machines if they feel like.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you know, i vaguely recall there was
a challenge for the "largest factor found in factorization" or somesuch ?
Apocalyptic: 12:18 <+mircea_popescu> Apocalyptic ^ i propose as best candidate for m-r testing. // I'm already working on
a more approachable one, also I don't know what's with you and m-r but I don't think m-r is
a good factorization algo, I was and am running p-1 , p+1 and ECM
