BingoBoingo: Well, living in the land of Mate crackpipes you get to see this behavior taken to extremes. They are playing the game where they TRY to burn
as many man hours
as possible in an unproductive manner.
☟︎ hl`: that's actually a fair point too.
as implemented in e.g. PCs nowadays, even putting the closed firmware issues aside, the way they are integrated is _not_ secure. they're just connected using open pins to the CPU, you could easily replay everything
☟︎ hl`: general case - basically using the halting problem
as a trapdoor function.
swiftgeek: asciilifeform: i don't consider swapping a board
as repair
swiftgeek: but it would be clearly marked on the die
as well
swiftgeek: i can't guess dimensions properly so let's assume it's the same
as with c201pa
swiftgeek:
as if there was some noticeable change xD
swiftgeek: looking at some code you found there isn't the same
as poking the actual thing
|\n: even if something is not clear - hardware is full of shit, supplying any trust towards vendors is
as stupid
as saying that someone might now have some private keys from whatever, being it an IT or automotive industry (pick any), i believe that is why some papers on standards that might shed light on ways of how proprietary things (that belong to owners) work
☟︎ |\n: good shout, sure i got my miserable excuses, since i'm not media person, i constantly attempt to tell about such things to people who show interest, but the scales are
as miserable
as my excuses hah
|\n: apart from things unspeakable on freenode i love to bring up tor relays and i got a job
as an admin of shitty place

as it is, he derps on the periphery of google. if he realised tmsr owns the world he'd be "community organizing" for you. and so on.
trinque: john k's crime here is bending over to the state after making a career upon ramming lulz through the censors. "3 decades struggle with mental illness" such
as being heterosexual.
mircea_popescu: henceforth a new "piss on the bitch" cocktail is defined, for public consumption,
as piss, vodka and a splash of fruit juice.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i'm happy with the outcomes. swathes of 20something yo slavegirls
as far
as the eye can see, to take pick from.
a111: Logged on 2014-10-19 18:31 asciilifeform: chetty: the whole purpose of 'biometric' crap is to administratively fix the designated chump
as the permanently-designated chump.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-17 17:42 asciilifeform: the point i was trying to make then,
as now, is that mri - like fingerprints - is a confession-inducer and evidence-planter apparatus, let's say 'guiltwashing', rather than necessarily a fact-finder.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-10 18:07 mircea_popescu: and
as far
as most mouthbreathers are concerned, the world is too much and the little glass bead of "nigger explains what '''events mean to me'''" archsufficient.
mircea_popescu: techcrunch.com/2017/08/11/the-minifree-libreboot-t400-is-free-
as-in-freedom/ << lol the ersatzen.
mircea_popescu: except the part where the convenience of doing stupid thing is just
as inconvenient
as anything.
mircea_popescu: same thing here, by purely behavioural standards they're
as aware
as could be.
mircea_popescu: can't apply livresque standards of awareness to the herd, they're not human in that sense. you believe cattle is aware of electified fence, even if no cow ever sat down with you and stated
as much over beers and buffalo wings.
mircea_popescu: if the priors are anything like a) "anyone should have access to computers" and b) "to use
as they see fit", you'll be back to some kind of nsa fritz chip in very short order, especially if you're committed to equalitarian socialism (or, "democracy", to use the in-universe names)
apt-get: Well, I don't know if my political leanings would necessarily imply going to such lengths
as described in that manifesto, but I am indeed supportive of any attempt to free computing from the proprietary and government boulders placing themselves between the user and the product.

as well

☟︎ BingoBoingo: The vulnerability is "person physically in control of machine can fuck it
as he likes"
mircea_popescu: (ftr, i am not proposing this agreement
as some kind of proof.)
mircea_popescu: anyway ; basically old lizzards hold exact same pov
as tmsr, keeping rsa keys and letting the bumbling kiddies play about with the ecc.
mircea_popescu: i honestly dunno what diff it makes for what's intended
as a cheap throwaway anyway
mircea_popescu: but yes, re the тяжело в учении -- легко в бою bit -- it comes
as a shock generally that "your training must ~exceed~ actual usage, by a ~factor~. you don't train for 80% of what you'll do ; you train for 250% to 300%+ of what you'll actually do."
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as ankle weights. my slavegirls should know, they get them lots.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; i thought that point comes through, but maybe not
as well
as i'd have wanted.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the backstop would obviously be "either follow spec
as-is or get out of chan", i suppose. i don't specifically care either way, we already have plenty of proper loggers for one thing, and the original, "Hey, maybe someone exists on freenode that's both a) not totally braindead and b) hasn't heard of #trilema yet" was thoroughly proven wrong by now ; the intelligence flow is the other way.
mircea_popescu: scoff all you want, but
as burl ives put it, "it's always there in the morning, ain't it".
phf: and
as much
as i sometimes scoff at the lizard hitler suggestion, the whole narrative, tacitly supported by the relevant designer, is very much it.
mircea_popescu: "oh, use this other one instead, terrorist,
as you seem hell bent on breaking the chip off. this other one has it in the die, so you can't see it, will be all good"
mircea_popescu: there's basically nothing left inside these schmucks, "joe and thousands others [just like him]" isn't even perceived
as insulting.
BingoBoingo: It's a small victory in the direction of capturing USB-C
as a Republican standard
spyked: lol! I was just going to say that I kinda enjoyed barbilian's poems-
as-puzzles back in highschool.
fromdeedbot: namecoin is the new black.....
as soon
as earthlings sort their shit out
BingoBoingo: And that's
as big
as they come before the carve out "bedrooms"
a111: Logged on 2018-06-06 12:59 mircea_popescu: spyked, re the other thing, i expect the item can be both massively trimmed and significantly improved still. the discussion was carried in principle ("so manty lines!") not really objectively, "why this exact line for each line". i think it's entirely possible even the final product,
as a conceptual ideal, may exceed (reasonable!) expectations of "how long code should be".

as far
as the thought experiment goes, I still wonder, though, whether those edges of productivity follow from *all* the lines of mp-wp code and is more than the sum of each, or whether there's a lot of extra crud in there. perhaps overly naively/boyishly at the time, I started my (still ongoing) experiment the other way around ("what is the minimum number of lines to
☝︎ spyked: the question stemmed from "what are valid inputs for blogotron?", which led to "should comments be permitted for anons, or should they be predicated upon identity?". otherwise I very much like the current organization and I believe that venues that don't allow inline commenting (such
as thetarpit in its current state) are only "half blogs", not fully.
phf: well, it's the old age comes for us all, none of them want to be césar luciani, and very few prepared to knowingly don the armor one last time and die under the hail of arrows so to speak. (and i'm giving them a lot of credit here
as far
as how they lived to begin with)
