trinque: asciilifeform: I think Bushes and everyone like them are entirely trapped
asciilifeform: the only solid hypothesis i can make re: bush et al is that they know what 'it' is, having scratched all other conceivable itches.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: and this is what i meant earlier re "revolutionary term of art". there's this notion that members of the proletariat fight each other over imaginary class distinctions instead of uniting.
asciilifeform: i saw 'guccifer''s photos of aria rockefeller's house.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i lived in suburbia. which is pointedly not the same thing, the mechanism whereby the police are kept distant is entirely different (obedience)
asciilifeform: this, i suppose, counts for nothing, because 'view from gps'.
trinque: BingoBoingo: I was going to say, one measure might be whether the cops are going to need something more than a boot to enter
mircea_popescu: i meant more like "this no longer happens but it continues to happen for me only". it's nonsense.
asciilifeform: hell, i expect proper honest gasenwagen to make a comeback.
asciilifeform: i'll be the first to admit.
asciilifeform: i.e. exempt from all reg
mircea_popescu: if it were possible to have one i'd consider getting one.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. it does not seem to me possible to even have a mansion in the land of "we rent - unfurnished!" and "building code" etc.
asciilifeform: i say, a rich fella's house, built to european standards
asciilifeform: eh that's where i see anybody who doesn't commute to an office as elite
mircea_popescu: i don't recall the revolutionary term of art, but nevertheless, ideas formed on the basis of stuff glimpsed through the gps machine are not reliable.
asciilifeform: i can already see mircea_popescu telling me, that these ain't mansions unless the stones are at least 1001 years old and were put on with druid blood
trinque: yeah I suppose not
asciilifeform: because i don't see the improvement.
asciilifeform: i am specifically ~not~ speaking of cardboard boxes with aluminum planks.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278943 << when i say mansions, i speak of actual mansions. we have'em here on the east coast. ☝︎
cazalla: a-ok, don't really follow it much these days but i see rousey is headlining the ufc down under in november
cazalla: BingoBoingo, not really up to date on it all, last i heard he just ran away instead of taking the test
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> 5 years for cannabis, but i wonder if silva would've got less for his escapades if he didn't run off << He passed two of the three tests
asciilifeform: i.e. emancipation papers
mircea_popescu: i haven't heard of a fingerprints-bank as of yet.
asciilifeform: fuck if i know of what. fingerprints, perhaps, or stool samples, or what.
cazalla: 5 years for cannabis, but i wonder if silva would've got less for his escapades if he didn't run off
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> how the latter flows from it < dishonest software does not require honest hardware the way i see it << more or less unrelated. dishonest accountand doesn't require dishonest FED nor vice-versa
asciilifeform: phf: they all have fuckin' ~huge~ binaries so far as i'm concerned
trinque: see, I knew there was a BingoBoingo hand involved in that title
BingoBoingo: trinque: It was hdbuck indeed. He came up with the Thunder and I added the Butt, with his approval of course
phf: asciilifeform: actually i think the main difference is that sml/nj has a repl and better debug messages. i think these days the two are pretty much on par. shows how much i remember, last time i touched either it was on ibook g3 linuxppc
cazalla: i read something before how trump was all mafia'd up back in his new york days and fucked over lots of people, nfi to veracity
phf: (i was driving between places in turkey, so no internet access)
phf: asciilifeform: yes, i did some ml a while ago. i used sml/nj as a default compiler, afair it had full language coverage and nice emacs support, i would then port code to mlton or mlkit. mlton has a particularly nice feature set, small binaries, everything's unboxed, gc can be tuned, but it's full program optimizer, so at the time i didn't have the patience to use it as my primary compiler.
kakobrekla: how the latter flows from it < dishonest software does not require honest hardware the way i see it
BingoBoingo: I've stopped trying to make any sense of fucking silver prices
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278749 << the former's prolly right but i still don't see how the latter flows from it. except for some people, i guess. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was gonna say 'doing retarded things to stay in food and roof' but then remembered newton's mint
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 19:02:42; kakobrekla: >When I last bought a VW (2008) I was concerned due to a clunking noise after first starting it up and driving a few miles; I called the VW service dept and they explained that there was a compressor which captured exhaust fumes and released them at a lower rate for the first few miles of each journey -- to help them meet EPA emissions standards.
asciilifeform: for instance, i've been surveying implementations of standard ml
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 23:09:54; mircea_popescu: the immutability thing can more or less be lied about, because if i have 32gb ram and you need 512 bytes for all you know you're on an "endless" ram machine.
mircea_popescu: i'd eat vegetarian, really, if i could hunt it anywhere.
asciilifeform: not partaking in this particular variety of crackpottery, i cannot comment further, but it is logical from their pov
mircea_popescu: but i eat meat specifically because it is a murdered animal.
asciilifeform: i didn't say there ~was~ answer...
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:53:49; mats: 10/10 times it is just alf and i.
asciilifeform: and the fewer bits i see as salvageable.
asciilifeform: the more i work with this thing, the less i like it.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 22:15:20; punkman: mats: punkman: if it was not clear, i am handrolling the pgp packet parser in python (watta mouthful). and not having a good time of it. << I think you might have to come up << you should probably throw out a bunch of idiocies contained in the canonical rfc
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:53:15; mats: i figured i'd spare log readers from my blathering. and pete_dushenski's background chirping.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278709 << that's ok, when it goes below indiancandy i'll say something. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i can get on a motherfucking plane tonight if i wanted to. but i don't want to.
mircea_popescu: i still think they were stupid. but i am starting to ~understand~.
mircea_popescu: i always thought the jews staying behind were incomprehensible.
asciilifeform: cazalla: i sorta assumed it was his folks'
cazalla: asciilifeform, i just thought it interesting that the guy found the specific clock on ebay
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:44:13; ascii_field: to my shame, ~i~ habitually read these.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278693 << which is why he wasn;t asking you, i bet :D ☝︎
mircea_popescu: uh i mean cazalla
cazalla: if i were ver, i'd redirect the site to whatever the 2015 equiv of goatse is and tell all the redditors with ideas of how bitcoin.com should actually be used to go fuck themselves
mircea_popescu: i doubt there is anything that is actually beyond our interests' reach.
mircea_popescu: remarkably enough i can't readily figure out a topic b-a would be strictly not interested in. we've discussed art philosophy and history, and matters of identity and forgery, and child rearing and car design and gender identity and indian mysticism and scholarship thereof and of course geopolitics and finance and often enough plumbing and pest control.
mircea_popescu: the immutability thing can more or less be lied about, because if i have 32gb ram and you need 512 bytes for all you know you're on an "endless" ram machine. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:13:51; punkman: so what is the formal language when I grab random bytes off someone's HTTP?
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:00:03; BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> usg has a very effective program for soaking them up << I'm pretty sure the push to get people into grad school rather than employment 2007-2011 was exactly this
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278621 << i wouldn't be too worried about that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so i don't think ~you~ are wasting your time digging through the shitpile. you aren't. don't expect us to do it tho, because we would be wasting our time.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278592 << i am unpersuaded by this proposition. ☝︎
punkman: mats: punkman: if it was not clear, i am handrolling the pgp packet parser in python (watta mouthful). and not having a good time of it. << I think you might have to come up << you should probably throw out a bunch of idiocies contained in the canonical rfc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/taxG5ec.png << ahahaha win.
mircea_popescu: i get it, the view you're trying to argue against is contentious to you and involves you emotionally. this is fine but also not a problem of it, and consequently while the excuse "im flailing madly because that thing really bothered me" may serve to blind your own evaluator, it won't work similarly for anyone else.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 14:39:47; funkenstein_: Yeah, well I relate to previous convos, sorry about that. How else can I improve it?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278473 << i doubt anyone seriously proposed there's any value to the destroyed 2yo. the interest, at least to my understanding, stems from the instruction ot be had for one's own life. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278463 << i have nfi. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2015 01:40:50; asciilifeform: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPCYHKzVAAAJG6w.jpg:large << close-up photograph. if i could bet on this, i would bet a few coin that he ~busted open an ordinary alarm clock~ to make this
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 13:31:37; mats: i don't get why people enjoy the online card game 'Hearthstone'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278440 << i actually tried it. spiffy gfx, checkers. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd have to think on it. TheButterZone if you'd like to submit the piece to qntra using that angle...
mircea_popescu: why am i not surprised.
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd much rather eat from titsbot.
mats: punkman: if it was not clear, i am handrolling the pgp packet parser in python (watta mouthful). and not having a good time of it.
TheButterZone: so i noticed a few users in here had negrated tradefortress, and thought you might like to know he's been lurking as unicodesnowman
ascii_field: what i was trying to say is that if your rng bits are not independent of one another, you don't have an rng.
mats: punkman: no, although i read some of it several months ago. interesting, right?
mircea_popescu: am i making any sense or sohuld i restate ?
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that this view of boxen security is inconsiderate.
ascii_field: the basic idea of 'padding' is that before you can really use rsa, you have to proclaim 'i will NEVER EVEN consider a blob that doesn't decrypt to this-standard-boilerplate-and-the-payload' - or, in the case of signatures, 'it is ~not~ a signature unless the signed payload is such-and-such-boilerplate-and-THEN-the-actual-payload'
ascii_field: btw i'm half-convinced that the existing 'padding' (what a terrible misnomer!) schemes are voodoo.
mats: and i'm not so sure i'm the person for the job
mats: i'm on my third attempt at this and i still haven't quite wrapped my head around rfc4880 as well as the behavior of various gpg versions
mats: unless I am misunderstanding your question.
kakobrekla: >When I last bought a VW (2008) I was concerned due to a clunking noise after first starting it up and driving a few miles; I called the VW service dept and they explained that there was a compressor which captured exhaust fumes and released them at a lower rate for the first few miles of each journey -- to help them meet EPA emissions standards. ☟︎
punkman: I mean the emissions testing
kakobrekla: mp criteria is 'do i know you'.
mats: 10/10 times it is just alf and i. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: i care, this is deeply educational
ascii_field: i like to 1) educate people 2) refer to logs in the future
