mircea_popescu: from what i read of the mythical founder, he read very much like a young naggum / gl
mircea_popescu: at least in intent/intuition i can see the cat-v, wanted to be tmsr, didn't know what it wants or how it goes thesis.
mircea_popescu has always wondered how much of the ecdsa push met with approval because people couldn't do bignum math anyway.
mircea_popescu: actually the crypto lib should be in js anyway. down with fucking ints.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you use curl on the box to call into the loopback where an apache server with lamp runs.
mircea_popescu: unlike - in fact opposite - to poetry, code actually improves through translation.
mircea_popescu: it is of the same type as the openbsd compiling for vaxen
mircea_popescu: there is A LOT of strength in this, having a core of libs/utils that aren't merely written, nor merely reviewed, but TRANSLATED
mircea_popescu: it stands to reason that no, those two aren't your only options.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes considering the only reason your lisp vtron even exists is because you're apparently fond of reimplementation,
mircea_popescu: but as a principle, the shell exists for a human operator. shelling from code is much like taking knives and forks, melting them, and trying to dropforge tools. they WERE ALREADY metal that was forged into something. go to that source, change that from knives to wrenches or w/e you are doing. no need to involve the whole supermarket chain to sell you metal ingots in fork shape at 20bux a half dozen
mircea_popescu: if the thing you're shelling to is actually the right thing, take the code put it in a lib or in your application.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i say "keep shelling to it for as long as that's what you do, but once you change that change it to something sane"
mircea_popescu: now then. can the lispheads live with the idea of an ada tmsr-cryptolib ? perhaps with it as a reference and a lisp copy ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do i have such a reputation for blocking work ?
mircea_popescu: gotta discuss this otherwise we'll end up with apical chaos.
mircea_popescu: course since the nsa consulting work for minigame is going to produce ada rsa, it might be an idea to have an ~ada~ tmsr crypto lib.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: will probably end up with a tmsr crypto lib anyway, might as well start thinking about it.
mircea_popescu: no practical way to just steal the sha itself make it a standalone ?
mircea_popescu: ok so if they put patches in at least, what's the argument against linking to them ?
mircea_popescu: btw are you foundation people gonna make a prize gala or something ?
mircea_popescu: "the whitehouse website based in maryland" as the expression went.
mircea_popescu: then in a few centuries tmsr guard can protect the scotuspope much like the swiss guard in rome today. nice hats and all.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is the main strategic direction of tmsr - in a few years they either pay us to "secure" all systems or else the systems burn down.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: as a point of sovereign strategy, you always want to trade with the smallest and toughest of the neighbours - it's productive, plus it softens them up ; and to loot and pillage the largest, softest of neighbours (preferably under the guise of "being allies" and "keeping the peace" if possible, but outright rapine otherwise).
mircea_popescu: even emperor-god-jobs was KICKED OUT OF HIS OWN CORP by the fuckers.
mircea_popescu: you want your customers to be tough, because if they survive so do you.
mircea_popescu: there's an important business strategy point here that's not discussed among the chickens, but hark : it is actually a better business strategy to sell to isis than to us consumer - because isis is still on the ground in spite of usg shooting missles at it ; whereas us consumer is barely standing in spite of usg pumping all it can print straight into him.
mircea_popescu: gotta spend all this time maning stockades, rather than the other way around
mircea_popescu: alf likes to assert "x profits from it" but this assertion is kinda nude. apple benefits from xcode about as much as rbs benefits from western world being made of chickens.
mircea_popescu: of course at the time dev work was cheap. i had no interest, but this actually happened in del ray casino ; and the kids were asking for less than what people threw at the sluttier ticas in chips.
mircea_popescu: as in, you know, "i'm sure this is great and all, and the not working totally incidental"
mircea_popescu: he didn't even mean anything by it, he was using it ~to encourage~ the kids.
mircea_popescu recalls meeting cca i dunno, 2005 maybe ? dorks were going to make a shop, made demo, mark (eldery expat, texan, totally lovely) innocently goes "wouldn't this be a lot better if it worked ?"
mircea_popescu: (see greek "10 virgin girls, 10 virgin boys" teseus history)
mircea_popescu: or no wait, sanger did the retarded "citizen encyclopedia", the crazy "knowledge" job was something else
mircea_popescu: (i also thought that it was a lulzfest to rival that wikipedia founder/retard's crazy batshit "knowledge" thing)
mircea_popescu: as exemplified in the logs i have at least one example of guy learning to program on eulora ; and 0 examples in unity.
mircea_popescu: dude... someone tell lafond if womenz dun listen it's not about the womenz.
mircea_popescu: (fun fact : poor man's fixed menus in this country are called "menu ejecutivo".)
mircea_popescu: i suppose the issue occurs on the slippery slope of "executive", as in seinfeld.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the distance people will run to avoid wot, you know ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-27#1591202 << i have NO FUCKING IDEA why technical monkeys would wish to misrepresent themselves with this ceo business. being a ceo is entirely orthogonal on what they do, it's like a car mechanic claiming he's a fuel chemist. no good can possibly come of this.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "this is the painting of a knife without a handle that's missing the blade."
mircea_popescu: coworking space is harem without master or tits. also known as refuse pit.
mircea_popescu: and the ~only way~ innocent grasshopper could even know about this is if graybeard can be arsed to go through these motions - which you couldn't pay me to do as a regular thing.
mircea_popescu: now the fucking code "that's easy to get up" will have to contain a pi radian check because otherwise clocks may be going backwards.
mircea_popescu: and of course b is in the fine print and of course this just became a fine example of the discussion itself.
mircea_popescu: oh, hey, I KNEW this was gonna be in there. a) "I recommend using quaternion variables to represent two things: an object's rotation, and/or a rotation which you'd like to apply to some object." ; b) "You cannot represent rotations of greater than 180 degrees with Quaternions, and when doing a Slerp() or MoveTowards() rotation with Quaternions, the rotation always take the shortest path. So if you need to rotate more than 180
☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile the last time anyone produced a game the wtc was still standing.
mircea_popescu: with any luck there's a Heisenberg.ToSchroedinger first class function implemented in this unity thing and it runs permanently in the background.
mircea_popescu: these people can't find a simple limit in their head and yet fucking vectors are no good for them anymore.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck it's not exactly the mcdonalds hieroglyphic cash register is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: do you understand this Framedragger ? there is a ~COST~ to this "getting going fast", and that cost is - you give up ON UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING!
mircea_popescu: ier to manipulate them using other representations [...] I recommend using quaternion variables [...]"
mircea_popescu: dude. quaternions. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME OMFG i'm hyperventilating over here. to quote their fucking manual, "Quaternions have some advantages when it comes to gimbal lock and smooth interpolation. Their main downside is that they rely on advanced math -- math that even experienced developers often find difficult and confusing. [...] People very rarely interact with quaternions directly. As it turns out, it's almost always eas
mircea_popescu: the fox chases the chicken because the chicken, not because the fox.
mircea_popescu: what, you think it's the fox's option as to whether to chase the chicken ?
