asciilifeform: it is a visual joy, rather than thematic
asciilifeform: and we're in a monastery, trying to preserve a few tidbits, while orcs hammer on the gates.
mircea_popescu: in other news, perhaps the definitive depiction of exceeded old woman trying to cling to a delusion of control through formalism : http://archive.li/SzW0e/b36166b3370577c75796ec355295c8e5e6166a46.jpg (naomi klein at occupy wallstreet derpage)
mircea_popescu: it doesn't matter when it would apply. it turns out, through bitter experience, that c machines and especially the slaves that feed them can NOT live in a world where there's not strict, table-lookup-based, equivalency between words and chars.
mircea_popescu: if i take a buffer, split it up in words, and give you some and him some, and you convert them to strings and give them back, i must be able to reconsturct the original buffer without possibility of error.
mircea_popescu: but the fucking concept of putting a turing complete machine in the bitstream/string mapping has got to fucking burn already. who the fuck even hatched this idiocy.
mircea_popescu: you'll still going to have to do some porting. just as long as it's not 52 or some other mit-esque idiocy, should really not be a big deal.
asciilifeform operates a number of 32 and even 8 bit machines...
mircea_popescu: (it seems perhaps a smart move to actually make it 64 bit - for one thing there will probablyt never be 128 bit machines.
asciilifeform: e.g., i flip a bit and now ????????
asciilifeform: incidentally there can be a good argument for 16bit chars.
phf: i've been mulling over that question with logs. fwiw, entire log can be kept in memory for analysis, annotation, whatever, 180mb as utf-8 byte arrays. with unicode strings takes up twice the memory on 16-bit cmucl, and ~~4 times on 32-bit sbcl. i'm not yet convinced that transcoding everything you get into string and then transcoding it back to a bytearray onto the wire is the best strategy ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as long as "unicode was sent" neatly transforms into "we received a broken string of ascii" all is well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same as what means cleanly in medicine : is it a fistula or a bump.
phf: no, and while we're on downsides, unicode integration into the rest of the system is dodgy (there's a lot of assumptions in lateral code that chars are 1 byte)
phf: tradeoffs) and much better for floating. there's still a tightly integrated interpreter (i heard sbcl brought that back in recent releases), so doing eval even on early 2000s machines is almost instantaneous for repl work. memory usage is much much better (pretty sure sbcl core policy is "memory is cheap")
trinque: when I get around to it I'm going to pester the port maintainer to get a flavor going for that
phf: it's a bit down the pipeline for me. there were some attempts to make cmucl go entirely syscall, but as it stands it's probably 40% there. i want to link it to musl first, and then play around with control interfaces uses curses/cl-charm, which is when i'll test out this thing
assbot: GitHub - sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses: libcurses and dependencies taken from netbsd and brought into a portable (at least to musl) shape ... ( http://bit.ly/1QAhUAm )
phf: https://github.com/sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses a port of netbsd curses targeting musl/linux. we don't really uses anything with curses directly, but for cli interface building, or balinux, a codebase to keep in mind.

kakobrekla: its a nodejs thing. https://github.com/blockchain/service-my-wallet-v3
asciilifeform: anybody got a sample of the binary?
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 16:12:56; mircea_popescu: >Existing users, beginning January 1st 2016 you will need to complete a brief installation of a local service in order to continue using this API. Please follow the installation instructions below.

mircea_popescu: it's unclear that giving away coca-cola for free specifically hurts the thing coca-cola is a head of.
shinohai: https://redd.it/47g89e <<< /me has a feeling this isn't going to end well. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea really.
asciilifeform: i cite the cable method as a kind of final solution.
asciilifeform: at any rate it is not hard to make a box like this
mircea_popescu: that's the other thing you know, every other derp here that i ever visit has bought a huge tv, oft times at a cost that compares to that of his car.
asciilifeform: but it works fine on a pile of 700m disks
mircea_popescu: seriously, if you can't paint a canvas within 10x10, or if you can't tell your story in 700mb, you've got other problems than painting or making movies. ☟︎
assbot: 4 results for '700mb' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=700mb
mircea_popescu: lulzy bullshit a la cinavia is trivially defeated if you care to, irrespective of how the material was obtained.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415217 this is a poor approximation of decrypting the disk. doesn't it mean capture time equals video length? what about alt audio tracks, subtitles, etc? Perhaps inconsequential, but things like Cinavia would persist in captured video. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (this, for any deeply insecure personalities that may be reading the logs, does neither say that big is good thus therefore bigger is necessarily better, nor does it propose that there can't be a "big enough". so simmer down.)
mircea_popescu: ima try to identify the mammaries and pick the species with the largest ones as a candidate for intelligence.
mircea_popescu: and we know for a fact that the tits ~were~ a major factor in the academic performance of these girls, because the better boobs (with maybe one exception) agglomerate at the front and between the teachers.
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 07:33:20; punkman: http://www.inbali.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/A-girls-school-in-1941.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3Qbdisz.jpg
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415190 << you know, back when bali was actually a thing, and actually worth going to. as opposed to "yet another ustard strip mall", which... seriously who the fuck wants to go tourist in those ? and if they wanted to, why not just go to disneyworld and be done with it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> i am categorically unqualified to opine on this << wasn't a matter of cryptography, merely of you know, "what's reasonable management of contest"
ben_vulpes: why ask a yoke-fly anything?
punkman: http://www.inbali.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/A-girls-school-in-1941.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3Qbdisz.jpg ☟︎
punkman: I'd also buy shares in S.SLY if it was a thing
punkman: no open-source alternatives, and from a quick search, seems like no proprietary alternatives either, unless you only need a subset of the functionality.
mod6: jurov: test worked with just a regular clearsigned message.
mircea_popescu: more\s the case - the endless list of us derpage gives us a list of concrete violations to take to those who facilitate the activities of the international crime syndicate. we can say to these people : the us is a rogue state. you further their conspiracies at your personal risk.
mircea_popescu: “[The Antiguan legal victory] gives us a concrete decision to take to others who facilitate SlySoft and their business. We can say to those who do business with them: ‘This is an illegal activity’,” AACS’s lawyer added.
BingoBoingo: DVD/bluDVD copy thing drew a bunch of USG aggro. Derpy thorn in copyrasta's sides but still a thorn. One of the longest running "legit" ones.
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 23:34:52; asciilifeform: 'no need have i of mercy, / no need have i of laurels, / but let me have a rifle, / and let me have a horse, / and if i chance to perish, / let my red platoonmates, / let my red platoonmates,/ make'em pay, of course.'
BingoBoingo: S.NSA get revenue BEFORE cardano ships would be a headline
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what, so s.nsa makes a profit out of your proposal ?
asciilifeform: 'Like other armies the Germans emplaced booby traps to catch unwary souvenir-hunters, but they also used them to cause casualties among Allied small-unit leaders by locating them in possible command post and observation post sites. One example of this was to conceal a booby trap behind a framed picture left hanging crooked on an interior wall of a house: the Germans reasoned that only an officer would be irritated enough to bo ☟︎
assbot: DarkNetMarkets: A Community ... ( http://bit.ly/1OvVHSH )
asciilifeform: 'US troops often demonstrated poor litter discipline, discarding all manner of trash, damaged gear and clothing, expended batteries, and more. Much of this was of use to the VC, and they would collect such materials after a unit moved on.'
mod6: trinque: hey, when you get a chance, can you deed bot this for me? http://www.mod6.net/btcf/build-bitcoind-V99995.sh for me with the same name?
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-012-014.pdf << usg expels crapple's atty. on a technicality
asciilifeform: 'ah the delicate je ne se quoi pizda ma-tii of a French newspaper' << ahahahaha
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 00:43:43; mircea_popescu: once that went away, "city" took over heat generation. except it's impossible to run a thing made to WASTE HEAT efficiently
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 00:29:59; mircea_popescu: the idea being that i announced a contest, haven't seen much in the way of submissions, ima award the 10 btc prize to alf for an implementation of a c-s derivative.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415029 << i am actually very ambivalent about recommending an integer field arithm cipher for use as block cipher on a conventional pc. for one thing, we will have transfer rates measured in kb/sec (if we're lucky.) for another, extreme side channel danger, because we're branching-on-secrets. for a third, entropy starvation. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and i would secretly love to be proven wrong, and for an actual cryptographer to exist, and show up, flying on jet pack, and show a scientifically-founded blockcipher for us.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: you gotta consider at least once, but often several times a year too much water is a problem in this region. Maybe once every 5-10 years driety is problematic.
BingoBoingo: Nah water here almost universally tends to be metered on a per building basis
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 23:40:41; BingoBoingo: Most of the ads I've seen bundle water/sewer into the condo fee, but may be a regional quirk
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2016#1415005 << probably limited time offer. land developers are in a nasty habit of this atm. i've even seen "we guarantee that you'll be able to rent out your new suite for $1500 per month for the first 2 years. buy now!" in an attempt to sucker in would-be first-time landlords ☝︎
mircea_popescu: once that went away, "city" took over heat generation. except it's impossible to run a thing made to WASTE HEAT efficiently ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 23:04:27; *: asciilifeform pictures pete_dushenski's postman grunting forth a capsule, with letter
mircea_popescu: how long has it been anyway, a month yet ?
mod6: I'm kinda torn, I want us to move forward with 'g', so Cramer-Shoup fits the bill for sure. On the other hand, I'd like to think that over a long interval we might see some interesting submissions eventually.
mircea_popescu: the idea being that i announced a contest, haven't seen much in the way of submissions, ima award the 10 btc prize to alf for an implementation of a c-s derivative. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Again, according to the parties’ submissions, such a submission is made despite the understanding communicated by the Tor Project that the Tor network has vulnerabilities and that users might not remain anonymous." o oops, forgot to say "according to information first, and to date only published on trilema, [...]".
mircea_popescu: what is this guy, a shoe ?
BingoBoingo: Most of the ads I've seen bundle water/sewer into the condo fee, but may be a regional quirk ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and a collectively-owned staircase. << Also collectively metered water
assbot: Anonimity, or the urban versus rural dispute. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LGCIoo )
asciilifeform: no coast dweller, to first approximation, knows or gives so much as a spoonful of shit what happens in the places where one may meet with bulls.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: realize that most u.s. folk have never even seen a bull, likely.
asciilifeform: this was practiced until a proper ban was passed (iirc 1950s) and the trick deemed no longer necessary.
asciilifeform: usg theoretically demanded a tax stamp.
asciilifeform: for instance, for many years, possession of marijuana etc. was a ... tax offense.
asciilifeform: this is a 'distinction without difference'
mircea_popescu: except in the us - quite a lot of legal precedent re spite spikes
asciilifeform: e.g., there is a cable easement
asciilifeform: quite a few american titles are encumbered in one way or another
jurov: here from law follows that you really own only air between the walls in a condo
mircea_popescu: and the problem doesn't end with egress. suppose i wanna take down a wall. "can't - building will collapse" "but my title ?" "fuck your title, our wall".
assbot: 7 results for 'killdozer' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=killdozer
asciilifeform: and a collectively-owned staircase.
asciilifeform: so it's a cement slab rather than earth.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa there exists, somehow, title on 'condominium' - but it is strange, you still have to pay 'service fee' that is quite similar to the cost of renting a flat
asciilifeform pictures pete_dushenski's postman grunting forth a capsule, with letter ☟︎
mircea_popescu: argentina suffers from a bit of german pox. specifically, they had a military junta in the 70s, it beat the shit out of the tards, but eventually failed economically.
pete_dushenski: charge $300 a visit
mircea_popescu: actually come to think about it, that's what i should do. start a "beat nags club". get a prize per extracted tooth or somesuch.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so "what they're on about" is the once in a lifetime hurricane, the homegrown pope, the meteor, the exceptional event that they have no frame of reference with which to process
pete_dushenski: orifice bleeding for everyone, a chicken in every oven !
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the fancy socialmedia tards are all about how "femicidio" is a thing.
asciilifeform: (runs clang, produces fancy-looking nonsense. walk through the pictured branches, and see how it gives a martian result)
