mircea_popescu: just as long as this a) doesn't invalidate assumptions required by one in a way operator couldn't verify and b) they are actually independent, as opposed to "i thought they were"
asciilifeform: and, again, if the ciphertrons are INDEPENDENT, you can't do any damage by adding a damaged link downstream.
mircea_popescu: also asuming that A USEFUL WAY TO COMPOSE is always available is nonsense. and certainly asuming that the obvious composition is correct.
mircea_popescu: crypto MAY compose usefully. assuming composition is a solution is in itself braindamage.
mircea_popescu: it is not a bad paper. it is also not a bad thing to look for. unlike "cold fusion" and like "dark energy extraction", it has no actual merit for fundamental reasons.

BingoBoingo: Ah. I guess a point could be made that if Obama's Hope and Change didn't fix the problem Bernie's isn't likely to either.
mircea_popescu: it is pointedly NOT a scientific notion, for the record, not anymore than communism is ; and in no danger of ever becoming one, such as occasionally sf items did become.
asciilifeform: but speeding up factoring is quite physically plausible in a variety of ways
BingoBoingo: As long as the email hasn't been used in spam, email isn't going to be the thing that makes or breaks a comment's journey past the spam filter
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 17:53:11; asciilifeform: and irc frontend makes sense, thinkaboutit, nobody wants to use a cruddy ui hacked up for the occasion, everyone already has something reasonable that is irctronic
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not a bad idea. did it get anywhere ?
mircea_popescu: can stay, just as a policy
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: What, guy can't spend 28 words on a joke?
mircea_popescu: i suspek the only effectiveness of the lotioning is that it keeps them from doing stuff / touching the spot for a while
mircea_popescu: http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7vsgzW6Br1qlne6uo1_1280.jpg << i wonder if all teh people that are into this stuff realise that the only reason a woman's skin is soft is specifically that she doesn't go around barefood & naked in chains.
asciilifeform: and irc frontend makes sense, thinkaboutit, nobody wants to use a cruddy ui hacked up for the occasion, everyone already has something reasonable that is irctronic ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: it actually speaks a subset of irc then?
PeterL: just needs a bot here and listening to gossipd to transmit messages between platforms, right?
assbot: Ghostface Killah Says “Shithead" Martin Shkreli Should Release One-of-a-Kind Wu-Tang Album | News | Pitchfork ... ( http://bit.ly/1Q5xSCj )

trinque: my setup was much like phf's, had a few znc crashes/freezes and trashed the lot for weechat in a tmux somewhere
BingoBoingo: jurov: How do you know that those bets aren't all from a degenerate like myself who just wants betting action?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i have a *million* complaints against znc
ben_vulpes: phf: this means i have to maintain a mental map for "emacs on my server" and "emacs on my desktop
kakobrekla: cant you elaborate it differently with a subsequent comment?
kakobrekla: not a single comment ever got removed and i dont think we will start now
ben_vulpes: phf: the best erc setup i've come up with is to run it through mosh in a terminal
BingoBoingo: It's a shame no one still connects to IRC by touching two wires together rhythmically
ben_vulpes: i motherfucking hate switching over to a dark terminal after using a light text editor
asciilifeform: wtf, what light mode, it's a tty proggy
danielpbarron: been using it off and on for a decade
ben_vulpes: an appealing thing about irssi is that it has a solarized light mode
ben_vulpes is considering a new irc client
ben_vulpes: i had a pertinent question before the payroll people distracted me
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 17:14:13; ben_vulpes: "The cybercriminal reached out to Motherboard through an apparently compromised DOJ email account earlier last week, and claimed to have obtained the stolen data by compromising that account and then using it to access a DOJ portal."
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 17:11:50; danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400226 << hah, she blocked me on twatter a month ago
ben_vulpes: "The cybercriminal reached out to Motherboard through an apparently compromised DOJ email account earlier last week, and claimed to have obtained the stolen data by compromising that account and then using it to access a DOJ portal." ☟︎
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400441 << i had to double check the list, surprised she wasn't already a lord, but we're off in another world this channel isn't always aware of, with quite another perspective it seems ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 11:42:56; BingoBoingo: Spoiler alert, it was a trap.
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400226 << hah, she blocked me on twatter a month ago ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: move to romania, run it from there ; small biz costs you a few % in taxes and you get a person to do all your filings + basic legal support for a coupla hundred dollars/month.
ben_vulpes: all i want is a form for hours and a button that remits appropriately
BingoBoingo: Just deserts from the mines "With an ax rather than a scalpel, Australia's federal science agency last week chopped off its climate research arm in a decision that has stunned scientists and left employees dispirited. Why? Because the science is settled, there is no need for more basic research, the government says. No doubt many will experience a case of schadenfreude as they see those who have long claimed "the science is settle
mircea_popescu: tug&plug, it's a legitimate thing.
ben_vulpes: "baby i need a tug!"
mircea_popescu: wait this hk boat / elbe thing was a sexual innuendo item ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> where? antarctica ? << no, atomic diriglandia. it's a wonderful place!
jurov: the last trb release is a WRONG thing nao?
asciilifeform: borrowing a page from mircea_popescu's 'this is WRONG now find a non-WRONG thing to do' book.
jurov: "nor is it clear that it is a useful thing to do" but lxr must show it!!1 lmao.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400478 << i will admit that i am not certain i have ever met in the flesh, other than chetty, a woman who wrote software ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm apparently missing a lot of culture
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's a full range of them
BingoBoingo: <phf> i thought police carries those oversized maglites for the purpose of using them as batons in a pinch << yes. For this 4, 5, or 6 D cell models
phf: i thought police carries those oversized maglites for the purpose of using them as batons in a pinch
asciilifeform: i have both kinds, from same maker, the krypton incandescent one is a club now
asciilifeform: you can easily bludgeon a man, or break a door, with such
mircea_popescu: it took me a while to buy one that wasn't uv-led powered.
mircea_popescu: they can't make a plane or maintain the roads, but by god have you seen how superior their flashlights are over the orcs' ?
mircea_popescu: actually to risk going on a limb : the us is an ex-industrial pwoerhouse, made pseudo-rich by uninspired finalcial arrangements. the degeneracy that necessarily came from that picked a tiny topic and is making the glory of past days play out all over it. that topic is flashlights.
mircea_popescu: because there's a humongo market of ... flashlights, of all things, in the us. and trying to invent value for it so the assburger'd males keep buying them
mircea_popescu: the task is : to compute a) and b) for N2`, N3`` and all N4s.
mircea_popescu: G (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) -> N1 (a, b, c, d) / N1` (e) / N1`` (f, g) -> N2 (a, c, d, e, f) / N2` (b, g) -> N3 (f, c) / N3` (a, b, c) / N3`` (a, d, f, g) -> N4 (a) / N4` (b, c) / N4`` (a, c, d, e) / N4``` (a, f)
BingoBoingo: In other news... Do these "storage cups" look a lot like baffles to anyone else? https://archive.is/rn2nx
mircea_popescu: i could hash out a more complex example if it may help, since this NOTATIONAL FORMALISM (see that alf!!!) actually solves the problem of saying graphs. something i wasn't going to do before not because you can't display them, but because im too lazy to draw em.
asciilifeform: it lets folks actually press a release, for example, without requiring 'papal infallibility' for the release signers; and, likewise importantly, it lets developer press 'i want a thing will all of my shit but not the discarded erroneous crud'
mircea_popescu: this is the counterposed thing. in this case, i would wish for N6 to know that a) abc and b) c ; whereas for N4 that a) abc and b) a OR b and finally for N2 that a) abc and b) a Or B or C
mircea_popescu: what i said then phf was, i must be able to tell a) which people in total contributed and b) on what sets of people does the present press depend.
asciilifeform: with a|b|c
mircea_popescu: of what ? no, it's not a tie, is c running off with the count
mircea_popescu: this may turn out to be a fucking problem.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider this problem for a moment if you will : have people a, b and c ; have nodes as follows : G(a,b,c) -> N1 (a, b, c) -> N2 (a, b, c) -> N3 (a, b) / N3' (c) -> N4 (a,b) / N4' (c) -> N5 (c) -> N6 (c).
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 15:16:19; ben_vulpes: press a patch without hashes in the headers
asciilifeform: it is about a->b->c and we don't yet have a d.
mircea_popescu: so what if someone made 5000 patches in a row.
asciilifeform: nor is it clear that it is a useful thing to do
mircea_popescu: but this is not really a cogent consideration. as far as levels are concerned, this "current" one would be just qas much l1 as all the other direct-G descendants.
mircea_popescu: how would it be among "Current" leaves. we don't have a notion of time.
asciilifeform: this is not permissible in a strict tree, definitionally
asciilifeform: e.g., i can submit a patch which depends only on genesis, and it will be among the current leaves
mircea_popescu: i also confess to mentally having an imaginary pre-G as a master node for all the various G's such as shiva's bitcoins v's etc.
asciilifeform: but note, this is not strictly speaking a tree
mircea_popescu: no, but it would be if you're looking at a tree
asciilifeform: but this is not what level normally means when looking at a DAG.
asciilifeform: likewise, they must not attempt to transform X' and disparate X'' into a Y
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my idea of "level" was "all patches taking a certain hash as input"
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 14:57:13; mircea_popescu: PeterL> or am I totally confused? << a patch can only be safely applied to its antecedent. two patches at the same level CAN NOT be both applied by definition.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400409 << 'levels' have no useful meaning here. any two patches that don't take a file with hash H and try to transform it into two disparage H' and H'', can be pressed together. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what specifically would prevent me from later making a non-alpha-sorting V ?
mircea_popescu: why should a tool become a means by which you may pretend to enact determinism out of absent such ?
asciilifeform: the notion is that a tool ought to behave maximally predictably.
asciilifeform: i do not want knife with a will of its own.
asciilifeform: trb is alive, v is a knife.
asciilifeform: if wanted alive, would buy a cow.
PeterL: this morning we had a bit of snow, I slid about 10 yards past the entrance to work, antilock brakes kicked in, had to shift to reverse and go back to turn into parking lot
asciilifeform: lxr has a several month-old bleeding edge v.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: a good chunk of the weight of all of these is 1) battery 2) cpu heat pipes -- for all of which, you can thank idiot intel/x86.
ben_vulpes: i am a barbarian though and it must be my fault somehow for expecting my tools to be robust
