asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an old piece where mentioned orcs all over saving in usd, hanging on to erry benjie like it were a shard of the trooo cross. ~that~ is 1 of the elephants on which usg stands.
asciilifeform: upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn't killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc
asciilifeform: iirc mod6 , ben_vulpes , trinque , admitted to similar thought, in l0gz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: permitted for nao, but ~1000% 'tax' if you want actual food...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usg.verboten, apparently
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 15:57 mircea_popescu: pretty much all the empire shit works by this "only way to get an x is to link an x' to an y' to the x" device. by now it's actually usable as an empire-detecting heuristic.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859416 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Definitely.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 00:38 mod6: mircea_popescu does have a point re 'freedom of navigation' tho. but ya, if it doesn't matter to BingoBoingo, I'm game.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reportedly ru mil still using maidens-with-spokes.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will explore those options. I suspect there might be something.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either that or they'd have to return to 18th c. tax collection methods.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so there's this "have specialist counter-provider". most electronics stores in orclands will let you pay your utility bills etc. << AHA, abitab, RedPagos, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we have these in usa. they're used by 'cash economy' folx to pay isp etc
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: AHA
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There's a couple local in uruguay services, will look into it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a us thing. and used 99+% by mexicans et al to send moolah to home goatfuck village
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i said, i sent'em for 6mo in a row with 0 eggog afterwards
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was nameless eggog
hanbot: mircea_popescu i think if you ask why, a terrorist is you.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i'm not even sure, their banhammer is like a pile of weird noodles.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 13:28 mircea_popescu: in the end, administrative overhead (finding localbitcoinists, talking to them, talking to western union, updating the site objects according to reality in the field etcetera) comes around 2 hours / successful payment.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 21:40 mircea_popescu: iirc exact item was laughed at recently-ish (2017 ?)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1861392 << if mircea_popescu or anybody else recalls the thread, plox to link ☝︎
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, lol
a111: Logged on 2014-04-24 22:55 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Мы Америку догнали. По надоям молока, А по мясу мы отстали: Хуй сломался у быка.'
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 19:27 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no moar cows in uruguay ? << AH, apparently selling all the cows to china for a while was a problem but they are catching up with the fucking.
asciilifeform: in related zoological lulz, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B53JOuVU7_0 apparently happens ☟︎
asciilifeform: holyhell, mircea_popescu imported that one ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lolwho, the subj ?!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no moar cows in uruguay ? << AH, apparently selling all the cows to china for a while was a problem but they are catching up with the fucking. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: By doing his damnest to do the industrial garden thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds a++
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly will go smoother if she has some of it in l1 cache, imho

asciilifeform: !#s from:ben_vulpes buenos aires
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860880 << bwahaha. amplio what, amplio culo << Amplio is the Italian "Samba, sí" party ☝︎
asciilifeform: nope, definitely ben_vulpes ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you maybe confusing ben_vulpes and mthreat ? who did actually live there yes, but ended up importing gf, jet etc. mostly used local infrastructure for cheap pilot lessons.
asciilifeform: at any rate i dun doubt that the item wouldv'e broken spectacularly if mircea_popescu had torture-tested it
mircea_popescu: and ben_vulpes was around for months ?!
asciilifeform: hey ben_vulpes do you recall where ?
asciilifeform: dunno, ben_vulpes walked me into one in buenosaires that was bigger than my house, and ~empty
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun even know that the traditional orc intuition of 'rich ~= receives payola from miami' is such terrible heuristic
mircea_popescu: diana_coman a single line ~in the press~. but a tree ~in existence~.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: no? you can branch on manifest like on anyffing else
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 16:32 mircea_popescu: ave1 you can literally make it alternate patch to the table crc32, so one can press either, according to need/want.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw i think you'll like this, by default thing does opposite of the heathen one, doesn't display prb nodes individually, but simply as a collective 'sad people' stat # .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: x86 actually has terrifying hacks, in instruction sets, 'likely branch'/'unlikely branch'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrollable, too.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was done ( twice ! ) , lol, see further downthread.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it behaves moar like a (very slowly moving) tape, tho, rather than memory
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sorta why i didn't even want a /dev/random, recall
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i find myself wondering how many physics folx sit and bite their lips, 'monte carlo dun work so good...', cuz they bought $50k swiss 'quantum rng' that whitens with sha.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-27 02:03 asciilifeform: bats_cd03: 'random' means one thing if you're running 'monte carlo' sims (digits of 'pi' work beautifully, as does 'A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates' (rand corp, 1955. book.))
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hm?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phunphakt : the only reason, afaik, why ti still not bankrupt , is that they somehow managed to get their bottom line calcs to be ~mandated~ in schools in ~whole usa
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 22:51 mircea_popescu: anyway, in the above retelling, the 4->5 transition is the coup the grace. they couldn't "follow" each other ~because~, in this view, they were bereft of sufficient bandwith to in any sense communicate. so they couldn't, like, end up with all the same one substitute cuntcap.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, box ran 'derive' internally
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:37 ben_vulpes: so i dug this ti-89 platinum out of my closet last night to have something tactile to do arithmetic on and holy shit i'd completely forgotten about the input lag
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ti is epic example of sad -- at one time 1 of the largest semiconductor houses in usa, and built not only a lispm ( flopped ) but fairly beefy 80s micro ( ti-99/4 , also flopped )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most of the subj (e.g. barrett's algo) is late-80s
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall also how the thing came to be ( was idjit hack, around the fact that 'sshd wants entropy at boot time, before rng init' or somesuch )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 16:08 mircea_popescu: mace kucks grate agane!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i sat down & tried to think of a legit use for urandom, only came up with what's in the linked thread
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'd play in b&w ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: specifically, it cannot sit down in the beloved x60 or any other 4:3
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aah, orig thread was re what machines it can be sewn into
mod6: mircea_popescu: got it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> she'll be pleased to hear from you :) << Or give him an earful about logs to summarize
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traditionally these dun work w/out the prefix
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu for supplying the idea and the picker-up
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind that 8xx only work from usa
asciilifeform: otherwise it'll be just the one mircea_popescu supplied.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cuz promised 'next day' and turned out ~week, and place runs on meat/monkeys rather than (as implied) comp
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaactually had to fight with vendor ~daily for ~week
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For sure
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This would be my first if it happens. My read is there's still time for National Party to get their shit together for the impending election. They have a celebrity MUGA candidate officially announcing in a few weeks.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 08:36 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-11#1860743 << you conceivably might want to review contentious calls at some point or w/e. but kinda like cctv tapes, ~never useful.
ave1: asciilifeform, I was looking for mux just now in ffa just now and I came by the add_gated which uses a different method,.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 13:08 diana_coman: asciilifeform, hm, the bit version blows up buffers even more because it uses *internally* arrays of bits as per http://www.dianacoman.com/2018/02/01/eucrypt-chapter-8-bit-level-keccak-sponge/#selection-51.100-51.594
asciilifeform: ave1: use the method illustrated in w_mux, http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis#L870
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 09:41 diana_coman: there is also the bit-keccak in eucrypt and that is the same really - reference code rather than production code
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1860785 << waitasec, we have a non-'bit' keccak somewhere ? i.e. one that doesn't require buffers to be blown up 8x , as in http://btcbase.org/patches/vtools_ksum#L76 ? i'd like this... ( and i suspect so would errybody ) ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 09:00 mircea_popescu: there's absolutely no excuse for having "urandom" as a kernel signal. applications that both a) care about entropy debit over time and b) can get away with substituting shit for entropy should simply manage their entropy/shitropy interface in a dedicated thread. let it read from /dev/random, add however many bits of 11110000 they want whenever they want to and vomit the resulting cesspool as the app that spawned them demands.
