assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:18:24; asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit there with it in.'

asciilifeform: say, 'i want to live only with folks who graduated with science degrees before 2010' ☟︎

asciilifeform: where i live, at present, any experimentation in selectors ~other than rent bezzle~ is specifically forbidden by usg.

mircea_popescu: i guarantee you no ustard could discern anything from his own shit.

asciilifeform: i doubt that any usaschwitz inmate would have a serious problem distinguishing 'want this as neighbour' from 'do not want' in five minutes of conversation.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i hear that not-breeding-them-in-the-first-place also worked great <<< how the fuck are you gonna manage this wonder. so you select a woman. and her spawn will... regress to the mean. of course. and she'll love it anwyay. of course. and now what ?

phf: i gather as much from elsewhere in the logs

mircea_popescu: "oh, forger the hard problems involved while i focus on painting the fence! that'll do it!"

danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296471 << i have the only altar and the only sacrifice-giving skill item; whoever would agree to be my apprentice would use my altar with my ingredients and give me all the loot, and in return they would get the experience ☝︎

phf: biggest disappointment of visiting northrop grumman one time-- no auto-turrets. i thought surely there if nowhere else.

asciilifeform: i hear that not-breeding-them-in-the-first-place also worked great

asciilifeform: and i hear auto-turrets have come a long way!

mod6: asciilifeform: <+mod6> Ok while I work on this for a while, I'll pull that bundle down. Should have one up sometime in the next few days to a week.

phf: i guess that's kind of like seeing conan the barbarian cover on beowulf

phf: by the way i stopped by some russian bookstore on the way to saunas and spotted this utterly ridiculous shalamov cover http://static.ozone.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1011527549.jpg. i don't even.

assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:31:08; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such << speaing of which, i went to a local cinema yest. place tries real hard to be us like. they had digital projector. not only were the pixels visible with naked eye from middle of room, but

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296476 << lulzy, the one i have at home, apparently, is better ☝︎

phf: actually yeah. i was always curious why "trust system" that presumably is baked into keyrings is different from signing the key with your sig

asciilifeform: i wanna remove a key? rm ~/.wot/key.

asciilifeform: (actually i can. it was... winblowz compatibility. of course.)

asciilifeform: i cannot even begin to fathom the kind of retardation that produced 'keyrings'.

asciilifeform: a ring, if it is to be tolerated, is a dir I CREATED DELIBERATELY full of pubkeys IN STANDARD FORMAT

asciilifeform: i fucking hate hidden state

asciilifeform: this is the kind of thing i was afraid of when first contemplating automating any of this

assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:38:25; mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine a world without it.)

mod6: Ok while I work on this for a while, I'll pull that bundle down. Should have one up sometime in the next few days to a week.

mod6: ok makes sense. i'll work on that bit of it.

mod6: ah. ok. i see. so let the user populate the wots on their own, other stuff, no prob. ☟︎

mod6: hmm. well, i can take all of the sync stuff out for sure. will reduce a ton of code.

mircea_popescu: mmm i don't think that's either intended functionality or a good idea.

mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine a world without it.) ☟︎

mod6: I guess I could just not print who signed the mirrors. Leave the mirror list sigs in place on the server, and they can be checked later by hand if anyone wants. but i kinda like how it shows who signed it.

phf: kakobrekla: i didn't have any expectations, i didn't know anything about it until half hour before. one of the people who invited me walked out half way through and the other one appologized.

phf: went to a movie theater to see The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad a movie can be, and this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with a straightface.. in space! but anyway, they've replaced all the regular rows, with reclining sits, and you can push the button for the sit to recline. i was ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i have no idea how they imagine the pos digital projector can compete with a 1950s soviet thing that went around the villages to show propaganda shorts.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such << speaing of which, i went to a local cinema yest. place tries real hard to be us like. they had digital projector. not only were the pixels visible with naked eye from middle of room, but ☟︎

danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296362 << I am interested in taking on a n00b as an apprentice in sacrificing for the purpose of hopefully getting some overcraft loot ☝︎

mod6: Ok, so I've posted my version of V for some review before it goes to the ML. Inside the archive you'll find a `v.pl', `v_quick_start.txt', and `v_users_manual.txt' - and each with a corresponding sig.

asciilifeform: there was a row of apple portables, and some had high-res lcd (sold as 'retina' trade name) while others had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such; instead, they were atrocious, with what looked like triangular pixels, dithering visible to the naked eye;

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, today i went into a shop and saw a type of chumpatronic contrivance for which i do not know the name:

ben_vulpes: i'm sure goebbels etc had some variant too

ben_vulpes: i'd love to see "1/30 odds convicts whitey but not his darker friends"

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: last i saw, the u.s. left loves dna test. so long as it is mainly used to exonerate blacks

ben_vulpes: "i'm going to poke this doll image of you!"

punkman: but I think new version will need to include "quantum" and stuff

assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 18:04:22; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that nonsense is of any interest rly. ever since ashcroft usg has been putting forth all sorts of spurious claims.

hdbuck: ah and i thought 90 results was quite much already.

phf: although often mocked "you don't understand, i needed to do this". oh you needed, that changes everything

phf: it's also removal of agency, need is something that happens to you, like "i need you to fill this out for me" has the "just doing my job, sir". as opposed to russian "you must fill this out" where the power dynamic is explicit

mircea_popescu: "sir, i'll need you to..."

phf: heh, i didn't even notice, the entire form was making me uneasy, but it's that casual "need" that's probably the worst part

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that nonsense is of any interest rly. ever since ashcroft usg has been putting forth all sorts of spurious claims. ☟︎

asciilifeform: this was, i was told a multi-kg stash of synthesis-grade reagent.

asciilifeform: i suppose death may die, but never idiocy.

mircea_popescu: lol someone found bitbet i gather

mircea_popescu: i fucking hate them and i glad they died in a fire, there's nothing either wise or good about this junk.

mircea_popescu couldn't get through that zimmermann "why i" blabla a decade ago, still can't today.

asciilifeform: 'First, I thank Mr. Keane for his professionalism in notifying us of the government's decision. It has become common practice for federal prosecutors to refuse to tell targets of investigations that the government has decided not to prosecute. I appreciate Mr. Keane's courtesy.' << l0lwut

asciilifeform: i can easily picture the first being somehow done under torture or blackmail, but the second ?

mircea_popescu: no, i recall.

mircea_popescu: i dunno about that.

asciilifeform: i've always regarded p as untranslatable

asciilifeform: thing about subkeys is that they are a fundamentally ill-conceived idea - the notion that 'i can update my modulus but it is still considered the same key, because it is signed by this other key here, and this fact is to be verified by machine'

assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 11:50:17; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform agreed re subkeys. tho i think we had agreed on this before.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295972 << that was an ancient thread, i think. ☝︎

asciilifeform: but, again, damned if i know

asciilifeform: but i also recall a recent attempt by orcs to flood into ft, that was checked by force of arms

asciilifeform: there are people with something like an approximate picture of american garrison strength. i, sadly, am not one. call moscow.

asciilifeform: did it disband when i wasn't looking ?

asciilifeform: last i checked they had a 1M+ army parked in de, and kr...

asciilifeform: i suppose, for some - enough. just like a typical turd contains enough nourishment for some creatures

mircea_popescu: "here's the laws and and if you don't like it, you can leave" "i'll go join the people that'll fuck you up" "o wait you can't leave" "does that mean you admit your laws are dumb ?" "nope" "does that make you a hypocritical idiot ? " "no it doesnt!!1" ☟︎

assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 05:15:54; pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295370 << ok. i've ordered one too now. gotta see this rat9 thing for myself.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell pete_dushenski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295821 << you may be in for an ill suprise; the thing will not behave under x11; i've already decommissioned mine... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: <assbot> Logged on 25-03-2015 05:16:55; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have a favourite << i don't imagine the 6 months caught us any fish, but anyway.

asciilifeform: then i can't possibly disagree;

mircea_popescu: i did not say that.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1296129 << i must disagree here. the design was brain-damaged in several important ways from day 1 ☝︎

phf: ben_vulpes: i looked at it couple of months ago investigating the origins of the checksum behavior, and it's not at all a mythical repository of pre-diddle functionality. it has long compromised crypto all over the place, like afore mentioned md5, hardcoded

cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1296045 <<< i was basingt hat solely on the tea girl from vice NK doco, every channer wanted to make her his waifu ☝︎

punkman: ben_vulpes: dunno, I guess all of them

mircea_popescu: then again, it took the internet 30 years and it took bitcoin 3 for the same result, so i guess there's progress.

Vexual: i have no accidents

Vexual: but it doesnt have a cigarette lighter, so I might have to repeat

Vexual: i melted my rangerover, bought a brand new prius

mircea_popescu: than i'm willing to put up with "your money's our business" nonsense.

mircea_popescu: i'd rather see hillary forced to burka on the senate floor and pelosi whipped in downtown san diego for keeping bad house,

assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 05:38:56; cazalla: if ya were desperate, and many times at 18 i was, ya could hang around till 3am close and people would mix and match given that was the close

mircea_popescu: why ? i suppose the man likes to read. i don't imagine he intends to actually use it.

punkman: yeah, but I don't see why

ben_vulpes: punkman: so pgp'd be the one i'm looking for?

ben_vulpes: i was hoping to find that which was printed out and airplaned around during the "crypto wars"

ben_vulpes: re previous deed: i briefly went hunting for prehistoric gnupg or pgp source recently. does anyone have copies?

assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 03:34:31; cazalla: i was gonna ask for a ball park figure of 2/3 of the quote, what do you think?

mircea_popescu: sorry, it's ~7mb, but i gotta do this.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform agreed re subkeys. tho i think we had agreed on this before. ☟︎

ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski i knocked it over, hasn't misbehaved since

cazalla: sure, t3 has no furlong, but i'll accept it

cazalla: but i fucking saw it in the end
