mircea_popescu: the client IS pretty gnarly. but as the bot did most of the interfacing work already, it's not THAt bad.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, no, see now it prevents you from getting overweight when mining through dropping a craft table. it's a thing of wonder
mircea_popescu: would be trivial to expand its console commands to cover ~everything in game
mircea_popescu: which you know, otherwise dragging the materials there by hand...
mircea_popescu: for instance right now, i actually used the bot to take me to the mining spot, because it does the table trick
mircea_popescu: shinohai the foxybot could prolly be expanded into an actual text client. it has methods to interact with the world mostly written.
mircea_popescu: adlai oh was it you ? anyway i recall alf wanted one. was entire thread about this.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah there was some talk of making a text client. maybe jurov was considering it iirc ? anyway, eventually one'll definitely exist.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ah that's your thing then, no gfx card. so pick up something for 20 bux, it'll carry.
mircea_popescu: shinohai what level is that ? im running it on a box from like ... 2005 i think
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah not bad idea. i have a box playing eulora all day long
mircea_popescu: today, pinoy get license to kill any druggies, tomorrow usians get license to kill any ex-"usg".
mircea_popescu: and the imbeciles will lap it all up like they lap up ~any sort of lsop ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wanna bet they'll be right back trying to trade while insolvent, shtylman style ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: almost as good as reading year-old "intelligent commentary" in various fishwrappers
mircea_popescu: "Testing RSA keys after generation is a fool's quest. This is a nice thing to do to detect some poor implementations, not poor keys. Moreover, it detects only certain classes of poor keys (specifically, those with small factors). It does not detect poorly seeded RNG used in an otherwise correct RSA private key generation." << god i love reading year-old webwisdom/community consensusi.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a right, that's prolly the right reference, since shinohai was working on it.
mircea_popescu: best get phf's variant, iirc he fixed a bunch of stuff.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't have helped you anyway ; it was keyed to the people who asked.
mircea_popescu: SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE, and in his own words, "pictographic understanding is not understanding"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh btw, discussion in #eulora reminded me : peano, a very respectable LITERATE mathematician, did in fact chase cantor's counterintuitve result, did in fact find a unit interval to unit space mapping, DID in fact construct a fucking tile to decorate his house, but did NOT put any fucking drawings in his work explaining how to make a non-zone-differentiable function.
mircea_popescu: except the idiots blurred out her eyes, making the whole thing look INCREDIBLYT dirty.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, idiot local glossmag had pic of i forget which celeb and her 11 or so yo daughter. who was, fitting for a child that age in summer, topless.
mircea_popescu: if they weren't on efnet i might even have dropped in for a hi.
mircea_popescu: o wait, apparently it's actually yet another archiver.
mircea_popescu: there was actually a ton of this saccharine bs in the period.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "(Visited 38 times, 1 visits today)" holy shit that's a sad fate for an otherwise entertainingly (if superficially) penned piece.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you take enough to notice you thereby took enough to affect memory!
mircea_popescu: "It’s generally a mistake to let twitchy nerds get their paws on statistical data." <<
mircea_popescu: memory is a high cognitive function, which is why alzheimer's
mircea_popescu: there's a fundamental, perhaps "not visible" in some lights line that distinguishes the college twerps who KNOW what they did from the college twerps who need someone else to tell them what they did.
mircea_popescu: this is also a large portion of why i'm so nonplussed by theoretical "improvements"
mircea_popescu: hence all the "drugs will make things better". the ONE thing all psychoactives have in common is a destruction of identity through fucking up memory.
mircea_popescu: but it's certainly quite deep. the vermin doesn't merely aim to a comfortable existence, but more importantly to a memory-less situation.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: also a nice bastadization of "you can be anything" with "if you want something the whole universe coelhospires for it to happen"
mircea_popescu: the naive "i connected to one, should be good rite???" thing dun work since late 90s
mircea_popescu: gotta maintain numerous connections and compare the various lies
mircea_popescu: in fairness, using google is not unlike using the bitcoin network.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone with a visible anything gets a ton of these
mircea_popescu: The penalties that can be adjudged against you due to your reckless and knowing violation of the aforementioned act, and my privacy rights under the California Constitution, the highest law in the land for any one person living in the State of California, are very high.
mircea_popescu: As I informed Mr. [redacted], there are treatises between the Nations of the United States and yours, I believe, Norway, which mandate compliance with the California State and Federal privacy laws respectively.
mircea_popescu: This week, due to your GNAA postings, I just suffered the loss of an important job opportunity, and contract because an individual obtained the private parts I had not intended for hand distribution. After the irc error I wrote several people on that chat ridiculed me.
