mircea_popescu: uh. why does a cartoon need to be a torrent ?!
ben_vulpes: howso? c.p. is a 'save the world' sorta thing, t.g., much more "drink beer slaughter normies with nukes"
mircea_popescu: someone should make a new, modernized alf that's all hipster-trendsetting and excited by novelties.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> guy had some sort of injuries. futzing around on stage for years is a very skeleton-damaging line. << Also religious objection to blood transfusions so no elective surgeries
asciilifeform: 'The Dual_EC_DRBG RNG was later reported to probably contain a backdoor inserted by the National Security Agency, while the other three random number generators are still considered secure' << are we at the circus ??

In the last years, however, the Linux /dev/random showed signs of age where it has challenges to cope with modern computing environments"
mike_c: surprise, php is a piece of shit
phf: "The cryptographic processing of the entropic data is implemented with a well-known and well-studied deterministic random number generator: an SP800- 90A DRBG as defined in [2] – naturally excluding the NSA-sponsored Dual-EC DRBG. "

mircea_popescu: the national bank of quatar is marginally qualified to serve street kebap. in a year or two they may get their game up to where they can make a tardstalk account and not seem out-of-place idiotic.

a111: Logged on 2014-08-25 03:08 asciilifeform: busy as a bee << funny that they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out theorems
a111: Logged on 2016-04-27 00:40 mircea_popescu: ahahaha prince had been doing 100k worth of dilaudid a year for 25 years ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha prince had been doing 100k worth of dilaudid a year for 25 years ? ☟︎
punkman: sounds a lot like greek kitsch gypsy songs
mircea_popescu: so : turns out a) the guy is romanian ; b) COMPLETE ro media blackout on him. i think they're embarassed. ~only mention is from jan pointing out he was mentioned in huffpo
mats: thats a lot of views
mircea_popescu: think he has a chance in us pres race ?
mircea_popescu: in other news nobody cares about, the new argentine govt liberalised the fx ; as a result the anemic bitcoin market (which was doing 1-10 btc/day throughout the financial controls regime) entirely vanished. i'd be surprised if monthly volume country wise reached 20 btc now.
ben_vulpes: you are a masochist
ben_vulpes: urllib2 is a perfect example of "but i don't want to write oopython!"
punkman: fine if you are doing a dozen requests, miserable when you are doing millions per hour
phf: i agree re piece of shit, but not sure about libcurl, i remember it being a pain in the ass to "configure" to do simple things
punkman: phf, speaking of requests in particular (about 80% of the py code I write does http reqs), I've conclude that it's a piece of shit along with everything from the author
a111: Logged on 2016-04-26 19:07 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-26#1458202 << yeah i use it as a perl
asciilifeform: i think pretty much everyone has a 'bedtime' lang where he can sit down and write 3 lines that no, won't show to anyone, but do xxx
shinohai still has a TRS-80 running "Extended Color BAsic" lulz
asciilifeform: 'freebasic', and iirc even 'euphoria' - which was arguably a basic - is still used
phf: basic was around before auto-installers were a thing, if it survived into 2012, would have same
mircea_popescu: myeah. monkeys.bas was full of the shit, iirc, but at the time more of a "check out how weird ms is" than anything
mircea_popescu: perhaps helped along by the fact that at the time oop was a NEW HOT MUST USE technologee
asciilifeform: no oop, no proggy > a few pgs
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-26#1458202 << yeah i use it as a perl ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: cool. not so much a problem on single page, but killer if you paginate obviously.
asciilifeform: trinque: i use it as pretty much a less-carcinogenic perl.
asciilifeform: punkman: iirc we had a 'why we hate' thread re it
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (as announced in trilema, months before in the local press etc). << care to qntra a short oped on the matter this evening?
asciilifeform: i used it because i found a pgp parser thing for it.
mircea_popescu: don't be silly, this is a 10mn pop town with one murder LAST YEAR
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but they're softening, bout half under 100k now, from over 150k a coupla years ago.
asciilifeform: the rape << can haz $10k flat in b-a yet ??
mircea_popescu: the last time i had a bill in my name i was 15 and thought it was cool.
mats: ancaps want voluntary state, doesn't this conflict with living in a totalitarian universe of short people?
mats: i grew up with a number of folks that work there
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> mats so they wanna put random nobody on 20 dollar bill because female and black ? mkay. << Hey, she was a gun rights supporter and early member of the GOP establishment. Definitely a Kasich voter.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between the actuality and the pretense of it.
mats: idk what you're talking about, certainly not a pervasive phenomenon
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that also yeah, but i kept it lowball. i guess 1.75+ counts for A+++ in there.
asciilifeform: mats: wouldya believe su published a 'sov life' magazine for america.
mats: my understanding is it is purely a soft power thing, teach people mandarin, expose 'em to chinese 'culture' (there is history but no culture), with the aim of developing foreign assets perhaps
mats: topically, there are a lot more 'confucius institutes' since i last checked
mircea_popescu: "hey kids - here's a take home story : for as long as you subscribe to the correct/fashionable ideology, you too can one day be 20-dollar famous, provided were born with the right gene combo."
mats: some of the whining is a rehash of 'why is jackson the oppressor even on our money' and the rest is 'why a black woman, now, and what happened to the refresh of the $10 first?'
punkman: not even a salary
mircea_popescu: not necessarily surprising they wouldn't print a lot tho, what's most peopel to do with their salary in a single bill ?
mircea_popescu: punkman i've yet to have a bank bitch when ordered to deliver
punkman: they aren't printing a lot of 500eur notes yet, I wonder if people are paying a premium to acquire them
mats: some back story, jackson was a slave owner and killed a buncha savages - tubman, was an abolitionist
mircea_popescu: such a great time, clinton was president, the "indomitable" deficit reigned in, the wall down, floods of prime eeuro pussy everwhere...
mircea_popescu: then the actual experts feed them patterns and reel them in - which is why expert can play for twenty hours and slowly rake a room 5% at a time.
asciilifeform: ~once you can be modelled~ yer good for a ride.
mircea_popescu: once you accept a pattern, you're good for a ride.
mircea_popescu: whole echafaudage is predicated on people thinking a certain way. like so : http://trilema.com/2012/bribes-in-bitcoins/#comment-117109
mircea_popescu: i mean seriously, imagine it... "hurr durr i heard a new word today, bitocin. let me google b-i-t-o-c-i-n click hmmm... apparently it's Bit-Coin. o look it's a dashed histributed layer of tips! NEAT! i'ma tell all my friends, which just happen to be plushies cut like japanese girls!"
mircea_popescu: if i want to know who the president is, by that token i'm retarded. if i actually need to google "funny pics" to have a laugh, idem.
asciilifeform: only a t3rr0r1st!11 would ask!
mircea_popescu: you have gotta be kidding me, what could possibly take 12 hours to "compile" in a flat list of 20 elements ?1
asciilifeform: 'Type inference is known to be a bit slow when inferring nested data structures. I think they’re hoping to speed it up before the release of Swift 3, but for now you can make the compilation faster by adding a type annotation...'
mircea_popescu: and in entirely unrelated news, some jokers registered a http://brokercheck.finra.org/Firm/Summary/173059 "triloma" thing last year
mircea_popescu: from the purpose of "50 policement with grenades show up", there DOES NOT EXIST such a thing as "salesman" or "charlatan".
asciilifeform: a real salesman and a charlatan are both same for the purpose of 'dun need 50 policemen with grenades', no ?
asciilifeform: well whatever type that dun need a battalion to arrest
mircea_popescu: pretending like he is "a professorial type" when no such thing exists.
asciilifeform: a generation ago it would've been a polite 'come to the station with us plox'
asciilifeform: also why spurious pretense ? it isn't as if they actually ~need~ 50 cut-throats with machine guns and grappling hooks, grenades, to corral a murdock
asciilifeform: nah, more of a 'didn't show both hands in traffic stop' sort of thing
mircea_popescu: in my case, there was a sudden scent of nice pot roast, and then ohshit.jpg
asciilifeform: just gotta give a shit
mircea_popescu: phf if this is hacking btw... the girl i fucked this morning is a space shuttle.
mircea_popescu: i guess this reduces to a version of the marx sense, except exactly the one he didn't like.
phf: i actually briefly worked for a guy who bought a bugati from facebook ads, and while i was there, was doing primarily "skin your facebook" internet explorer plugin, that would replace all ads with own versions. if be$$al$$ the goal...
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stumble | To walk in a drunken fashion, or to use the toolbar found at stumbleupon.com .. and the word found in definition #1 should read 'waste'. Hobo Bob was bored, ...
mircea_popescu: phf hey, there was a one quarter back years ago when this one guy made an absolute killing from some sort of "new up and coming" thing that did a social media skin over blind clicking.
phf: there was a period when facebook ads were fantastic for event promotion in the same literotica/okcupid way, but without hacking
mircea_popescu: by now facebook is running the same scam for a new generation of idiots, with ~ the same results.
asciilifeform: then again i was pushing a proggy for which total theoretical maximum install base could have been 500 people.
asciilifeform: it's a hundy i'll never see again...
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder it lasted this long.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if anymore, but you should have seen spammer inbox a decade ago.
