ben_vulpes: subj. of 60s/70s fiction, /me rereading zelazny's chronicles of amber for the first time in over a decade. did not age as poorly as i expected.
ben_vulpes: who will service the chan now?!
phf: yes, scury away, chanserv, you to will fall in the first batlerian jihad.
phf: doing turing computation on behalf of non-wot-ed counterparties is haram
trinque: which aha, sort of trumped by the swiss cheese networking gear itself
trinque ought to have been more specific I guess. boxes with web browsers, or otherwise interpreting foreign non-signed data, are...
phf: no, that's not what i said. internet connected devices are not inherently susceptible to spectre
phf: to be fair that goes back to the idea entertained in logs for going back to single purpose devices. no need to fear root escalation if all and only users are root :>
trinque: gotta use gcc7 to get the spectre mitigations in *
ben_vulpes: call me when btc crosses 100k and asciilifeform finally coughs up for the custom fab
ben_vulpes: fuck this noise i'm getting my ase cert and going into rally cars
ben_vulpes: gcc has the ken thompson hack and llvm doesn't dontcha know
phf: gcc is unsafe, and this is all about making web safer for everyone. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: and you gotta use gcc 7 to get the spectre mitigations in gentoo
phf: "For the past several years, we've moved toward a more secure web by strongly advocating that sites adopt HTTPS encryption. And within the last year, we've also helped users understand that HTTP sites are not secure by gradually marking a larger subset of HTTP pages as "not secure". Beginning in July 2018 with the release of Chrome 68, Chrome will mark all HTTP sites as "not secure"."
lobbes: "So she did what she felt was the most humane choice." My sides.. wtf. If situation wasn't absurd enough, the fact that she came to conclusion that "mammal slowly drowning in shitter" = moar humane than simply letting it loose in/around airport (or even taking a well placed shoe to it) puzzles me the most
asciilifeform: fwiw i have nfi whether it took off. was pitched in the chemical warfare trade lit i was reading at the time.
asciilifeform: for some reason i dun recall any whining from the zoophilia people
TomServo: Now she'll have to step up to emotional support ardvark.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: some time iirc in the second bush term, there was a seekoority-theatre props vendor that sold 'bomb sniffer' using live mice. operator never saw the mice; they shipped in sealed cartridges with fixed amt of food, water, red led turned on when it finally croaked and time for new cartridge. like xerox.
trinque: if only there were a video.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i gotta wonder if these folx know about those mouse cartridges
BingoBoingo: There at least is a number and a timeline to offer other vendors to beat. That is all I want to say about the quote for cases and power supplies before mircea_popescu reads it. The suspense today has probably aged me five years...
trinque gets why mircea_popescu didn't want me squeezing the particular limb I grabbed, but still
trinque: gotta squeeze the vendors!
ben_vulpes: binance, an altcoin exchange with no representation in the forum, is down
BingoBoingo: Yo voy a un leccion de español para un poco tiempo.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yfwCX/?raw=true
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, well, if input+output are considered at octet level, there is a case to say that reading out of the state is also done at octet level; I'll mull this over a bit longer re speed as such (for the word-level implementation because the bit-level is just as slow either way) ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 14:03 diana_coman: phf, can you help test keccak on big endian iron? see ^
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782635 << what is that ascii says, "will throw it in the hopper" ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i would also like to fill up with disks the 2 boxes that were made for mircea_popescu . but it would work just as well to fill them up on BB end , if other people are sending disks, when mircea_popescu feels like filling them )
asciilifeform: but yes i'd like to make use of ben_vulpes's shipment services, if mircea_popescu allocates a berth
asciilifeform: oh nope , i just nao found out that he's going
mircea_popescu: did you work out something with ben_vulpes re taking nsa boxes over to bb.
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu wanted them dead last
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you two arrange to have teh nsa boxes shipped that way ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems to me on the first pass the winning combo is 1.1 / 2.1 / 3.1 ; the phf objection to bit meaning precludes anything else it seems to me ; with the exception that won't bit-extraction (3.1) be particularly slow ? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: meanwhile elsewhere: "I found a nice place where people are so stupid you can make up that an imaginary friend propped up a knife and wounded you, and they will take you seriously. God bless r/tulpas."
ben_vulpes: i've another machine coming online this afternoon, i'll endeavour to reproduce
mircea_popescu: the things asciilifeform has time for.
ben_vulpes: what do you want to see next time?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i don't suppose you kept the ufo^H^H^Hcrash dump
ben_vulpes: and before you ask for logs from the wedged box -- it simply stopped writing logs. damndest thing.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: one interesting hiccup was that when i synced in vanilla "connect to wide net" mode, this new node somehow got stuck and also i think triggered some weirdo crash/wedge on another machine of mine with a raid array of rust that had until that moment been hanging at the tip of the spear, but when run with -connect to the self-same (restarted) node a) the rust caught back up within an hour and b)
BingoBoingo is specing a different power supply that will actually fit in a 2U case, but is requesting the quote
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if yr hospitality extends to me i'd love to stop in
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: gonna ship another box with the timing patch from aeons ago, sync to completion and then post
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so that later can point, 'here's the experiment'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: post to the trb ml, sort what it's for
ben_vulpes: phf: well i'm flexible yet, gpg me some dates and i'll ensure to have time to say hello
mircea_popescu: at the rate we're going we'll end up with the first l1 get together through planes crashing into each other sometime this year.
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, one of the boxes flying with me has synced with my max aggression patch atop asciilifeform's aggressive pushgetblocks has climbed to 308K in 4 days
phf: ben_vulpes: aw sucks, i'll be in portlandia in early march, wanted to schedule a get together
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so you're thinking like early march ? are you stopping by here too ?
ben_vulpes: oh and please to have machines at my domicile by the end of the month.
ben_vulpes: nothing stopping me at that other than time though
ben_vulpes: so anyone who can't get materiel to phf by takeoff may talk to me about hauling machines down south. i expect folks to cover freight, pitch in on the trip costs, and guarantee reimbursement for VAT/IVA should it be levied at the airport.
mircea_popescu: phf dja see basic problems with the plan as is, taking a dozen sets over ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not much more than 16u or so though, so it stays rackable.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Te vas a McDonalds BingoBoingo ? What has Uruguay done to you? << I had to see that the locals can indeed be beaten into doing some sort of business and made to enjoy it.
phf: otherwise i'm coordinating with those interested in shipping here, so far it's only dpb who reached out to me
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 13:36 mircea_popescu: phf you've not said a word, how goes over there ?
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782610 << i have things to do before i go, which got compressed into one week from two ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what's that all about, you also flying over or something ?
diana_coman: ben_vulpes, as many other things before, keccak turned out to be yet another sort of ...problem before it can be of any use
ben_vulpes: ive my hands full with servers por el bbisp but once i'm done and they're packed up i'll run the tests in ch9 but must cop at this moment to not being caught up with the series at all yet
asciilifeform: well yes that's why the crate
mircea_popescu: never you mind, you've got the ffa to do.
asciilifeform: 800MHz 'g4' thing
mircea_popescu: re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782634 : anyone with an actual big endian machine (not emulator), besides the original phf ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( what food ? naturally anyone who grew up in old su can prolly guess, this https://archive.is/eeYM8 one , i.e. the sacramental 'Книга о вкусной и здоровой пище' . turns out it even has a ... lurkmoar! , https://archive.is/ijLKO )
asciilifeform: ( nor of pictures of food. though as a child i enjoyed those. )
mircea_popescu: i still have raws of my own girls & their "lesbian" friends that i've not even summoned the interest to look through yet.
asciilifeform: me neither; i was that time looking for schoolbooks
mircea_popescu: in fact, i am one of the (possibly few ?) who actually STILL, to this day, produces more porn than he consumes.
mircea_popescu: but i have no need for a tb of porn, scatological or eschatological.
asciilifeform: for a laugh, search 'romanian', you get a TB of pr0n, mostly homo+scatological
asciilifeform: otoh emule(donkey? i dun even know which is the original name) net somehow soldiers on, containing errything from ro tapes , scans of maths b00kz, obscure compilers for long-dead archs, just about whatever
mircea_popescu: not so always. at some point, they actually had depth.
asciilifeform: torrents were ~always thus
mircea_popescu: fuck me sideways, i had no idea torrents are for one to be able to amass fifty days' worth of hot topic cctv footage.
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean you really don't care about the most recent piece of holywood vomit, and that you think eg complete walter mathau filmography not being readilty available is scandalous! THIS IS NOT WHAT TORRENTS ARE FOR!"
mircea_popescu: in other sads, the state of eg torrents is beyond broken. there's all these solved problems of the late 90s /early 2000s which we discover unpleasantly that the new generation utterly unsolved in the meanwhile.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in vintage mircea_popescu , http://trilema.com/2013/the-color-of-gray << i had entirely forgotten that we had this in 2013.
shinohai: Te vas a McDonalds BingoBoingo ? What has Uruguay done to you?
BingoBoingo: No creo que It took "this is an emergency" to get them to finally quote importing shit off of Amazon. Me voy a McDonalds.
mircea_popescu: trinque ill tell you, this comments rss thing is fucking great.
BingoBoingo: One day at a time, Keep it simple, easy does it, working on getting that AA groove back. I can only imagine how much more alien this shit would be if I would have went "jolo presents azn bsns" http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=jolo
mircea_popescu: FIVE CENTURIES. not appreciably closer to any kind of humanity.
mircea_popescu: infuriating as all hell, i grant you, but then again such has been missionary work since 1492.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo gotta learn patience. the orcs generally mean well but can't manage to apply themselves.
BingoBoingo: I am going to grab lunch and try to shake off some of this adrenalin
BingoBoingo: Well, that was fast for Uruguay http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/kOSsY/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: back then they built stronger, thing didn't collapse.
mircea_popescu: !~google "Smoke billows from the Empire State Building in New York, July 28, 1945, after an Army B-25 bomber en route to Newark Airport crashed into the upper floors of the structure. Fires were started on the top 11 floors of the building."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: shouldn't it be in orclang ? << No. They have made it clear they know more than enough English, and you don't make strong asks in their own linguistic territory. And the head of the tech team does fluent English including idiomatics. I have met enough of their people to know the message going to be understood.
shinohai would like to see Futurama suicide booths on every corner ....
shinohai: Misleading as well, they actually support anti-suicide efforts.
