asciilifeform will bbl, gotta sharpen an axe & other chores
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's actually a return to 'vhs era' barbarism, prior to at&t breakup they also leased pnoje , could not buy )
asciilifeform: what i dun get is wai mircea_popescu thinks he has reached the place where 'no option' , afaik he hasn't baked $trillion asic . conceivably if mircea_popescu ( who 'i will live & die by factoring-is-not-in-P !' ) can reduce problem to factoring-not-in-P, he still has option .
asciilifeform: ( session would contain seq & rabinkey )
asciilifeform: it is one of the reasons why i section my routines into staticlinkable libs , rather than 'take this and cut&paste'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so you aint gotta mod; an integer mod 64 is simply same as & 63 .
asciilifeform: currently i'm not even certain that makes sense to ~sell~ a crypto iron; possibly a truly-serious user ~must~ make 'his own' , out of standardized, exhaustively-testable, and -- most importantly -- mix&match-able, components, from a design he has read & understood.
mod6: oh, that's right, the patch is pressed, ~then~ each of the files touched is hashed & verified. makes sense now.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, asciilifeform has sumthing vehehehery speshul, but aint gonna pons&fleischmann it...
asciilifeform: rsa & c-s (the latter, really a narrowed elgamal) are the only 2 oasis i know to exist in that desert.
mircea_popescu: "I am Goddess KK I am an Interactive Fetish & Glam Model and ON pornhub and youtube! .. Bacially a Freak of Nature."
mircea_popescu: also i wouldn't give http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/#selection-67.90-67.101 & co obscure grupuscle any voice. freeze peach, really ? five morons talking about "things" "as if they were things" dun make "things" anything.
asciilifeform: btw i seem to recall that the original mircea_popescu & diana_coman thread where 'let's try serpent' turned up that the current 'paper' is not in fact the original, and the orig has evaporated. nao gotta wonder what was in it.
asciilifeform: hilariously, i have a tall pile of academiliquishit re serpent right here on desk, and it ALL without exception dwells on the sboxes & lineartransform, 0 discussion of key schedule.
asciilifeform: relatedly, for shits & giggles asciilifeform has been reading a 'digital evidence' law school textbook, for entomological/ameritardological studies, and it goes out of its way to mention 'serpent sank an fbi case'
asciilifeform: i'ma refrain from pons&fleischmanning this one..
mircea_popescu: except, of course, if the underwear-on-head&over-pants crowd buys it.
mod6: *#dFnwQ831i&
a111: Logged on 2018-10-23 13:44 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865312 << ideally we oughta bake the new one, with ice40 & scintillator, imho
asciilifeform: mod6: the shitnoad sends ~same miniature blox , pretty much, again & again
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-23#1865312 << ideally we oughta bake the new one, with ice40 & scintillator, imho ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i actually have 0 objections to 'octet', tho i confess i never suffered from 'bit'-'byte' conflation ( never worked on a box with 7 or 9 bit bytes, e.g. the CDC described in 1st ed k&r -- tho i did work on boxes with odd word lengths, e.g. pic16, where 14bit nonbreakable word... )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrelated to anyffing: i have a tentative thing that eats a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864354 and gives trb option of replacing 'checkpoints' with it ( i.e. on boot, tests all already-stored blox against it, and if any blox in the tape are not yet present, then it requests & accepts them and only them, 1 at a time ). do we want this for field use ? (if so i can put on conveyor for cleanup) ☝︎☟︎
Mocky: with some minor exceptions like mp's random home page & 404 & partial url matching
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 19:18 Mocky: the regular spots are mostly 5 star hotels on the water. St. Regis, The Four Seasons, The Pearl Qatar & Medina Centrale. Also there's some pickup beach volleyball at katara beach on fridays once the day cools off
asciilifeform: ( re 'furries & trannies' -- there is a hilarious wankfest going, somebody spread rumour that trump is plotting to cancel, somehow, Official recognition of trannieism, all sortsa usual suspects are busy filling their pants as we speak )
mircea_popescu: and this goes the full spectrum, from furries&trannies to ows&bernie sandals to "internet security" to bridgebuilding "technologies" and other haliburtons.
Mocky: I'm still not used to friday and saturday being the weekend & so many places being closed between 1pm and 4pm every day

asciilifeform: i'd buy a troo b&w crystal in a heartbeat, but nobody afaik ever made'em in usable ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859393 ) or near, res, or in such a way that'd electrically fit any available box ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky alf's method above, yes ? :D stollies & all.
mircea_popescu: not AT ALL how sv works lol. this is MIT emulator, 30 years later and made out of shit&hay.
mircea_popescu: she'd work winters in the (at the time) super-hottest-spot-on-earth, some expensive & pointless UAE resort development.
asciilifeform: iirc the corrugated-steel hose thing was once thought to be a++ pill for earthquakes & ordinary vibration from traffic, but in actual practice the thing fatigues & holes.
mircea_popescu: teste david & sybilla.
asciilifeform: ( & http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1738171 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-23#1631479 , possibly elsewhere ) ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: ordinary b&w photo lab can bake 100 copies of '100GB ea' in coupla sec
asciilifeform: aha. it's the basic labour of writing sane proggy -- tossing out the duct tape & replacing with sumthing that actually worx
asciilifeform: ( contrary to the 'broken telephone game' on the net, the thing ~does~ show colour under sunlight, if backlight is set to minimum. if to 0 : b&w and ultralowpower ( whole day battery, in theory ) )
asciilifeform: ( my model dun differ so much from mircea_popescu's, aside from where i lump the digg & reddit waves together in lump element, afaik they consisted of largely same lost souls )
mircea_popescu: apparently there's nothing quite as destructive of the human mind than insistently inculcated & socialized conviction that "there's a lot out there". i liveblogged how this fucked up argentina, ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-31#1442615 will have to do, i can't find the original discussion with the local dork now) and well... ☝︎
asciilifeform: ^ and if anyone has a handy dumpblock-derived list with which to populate known_blocks , plox to sign & post, otherwise i'ma bake one laters
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862873 << Thanks for reporting. I'll add this to the list to take a look @ & replicate. ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg is on an 'embrace & extend' tack. not simply the pot thing, either -- consider, 'uber', 'airbnb', etc through lens of 'attempts to make unemployed zeks, driven into piecework, to document income & pay tax'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely my poiont. yet again as always & forever, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783773 of http://trilema.com/2018/democracy-sucks-the-two-thousand-four-hundred-and-change-years-old-version/ at work. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, whole point being that we have elaborate research-driving/agreement-building & history-preservation tools.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-14 16:18 asciilifeform: imho 'unifiers' (i.e. patch that pulls in specific state from a parallel tree) is a cleaner way of accomplishing this than cut&paste, but i was unable to persuade.
phf: one of the major wtfs when reading asdf code, is that when all the ifdef's fall through, hte system falls back to some seriously questionable solutions, like shelling out to unix level with elaborate commands (i don't remember the example, but it's almost like "mkdir {} && cd ..." type stuff)
asciilifeform: trinque & mircea_popescu specifically introduces manifests to prevent this scenario.
asciilifeform: the diff was that the history was preserved, as opposed to painted over with cut&paste.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu specifically barfed , tho, and nobody any moar does this. so for nao yer stuck with cut&pasteism, as i understand.

mircea_popescu: the ~reason~ y pestis exists is the long line of joe moron, and his mulae & stramulae.
hanbot: BingoBoingo: I went to send your WU, but either someone I traded with back in the days of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-24#1817953 that is based in Peru did Something Bad(tm), or else I dunno, your gf? In any case they're doing this entire song & dance about how "there's an alert" and "i gotta talk to a lawyer to justify...it's not clear what or why or to whom", entirely contentless fluff. ☝︎
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
mircea_popescu: im kinda happy with darlana's red hair-rubies & vatawna's golden locks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'd play in b&w ?!
mircea_popescu: (kindergarten mp once famously convinced smitten kitten to sit put for playdo shoving up nostrils "to see what happens". emergency room visit happened, and very sad & contrite mp.)
asciilifeform: it's an aol-style 'cheap but then let'em add the bells & whistles and then they'll pay' sorta thing.
asciilifeform: i suspect it's a dns-style racket, they purchase the #s somewhere & resell
asciilifeform: nao if only somebody still made a b&w panel with reasonable res...
asciilifeform: trinque seems like they're sold by the crate nao, on lulzbay & elsewhere.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "female interest" webtardation : "Areas of Interest Select all that apply. Vaginal Steaming Womb, Wine & Wellness Night Broth Lessons (individual or group) BROTHrive Membership".
mircea_popescu: i suppose the dog&man permutation duality translates escape-or-enslave dilemma.
mircea_popescu: let me guess, this is like, the golden age of f&o&linus source ?

asciilifeform: billymg: out of general principle, and esp. for usaschwitz inmates, it dun hurt to have a well-masqueraded copy sitting some place far from yours or your associates' usual business & habitation
asciilifeform: billymg: you'll definitely want to speak to mircea_popescu & diana_coman , i suspect
asciilifeform: ( twist : if you dun buy the insurance, the tooth-diddlers & quacks charge 2x )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-22 21:17 asciilifeform: in unrelated lulz, 35.198.33.239 - - [22/Sep/2018:17:30:05 -0400] "GET /dnscfg.cgi?dnsPrimary=139.60.162.188&dnsSecondary=139.60.162.201&dnsDynamic=0&dnsRefresh=1 HTTP/1.1" 301 185 "-" "curl/7.52.1" "-"
asciilifeform: phf: incidentally i found that sharp inc makes b&w lcd's that run on 0power when holding picture, and beautiful 100% reflector-powered picture. but their biggest is iirc 4 in. and 336 × 536 . ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as i say, my latter statement of the notion was misleading & vague.
asciilifeform: phf: recall, this is why asciilifeform earlier wanted a non-linecentric diff representation. then would not need special cases for clean ascii & bins.
asciilifeform: ( creations & diffs for bins, specifically )
asciilifeform: phf: creations & diffs do not presently have a standard format; if mircea_popescu says that we need it, will have to make one.
asciilifeform: then diana_coman & mircea_popescu say 'wtf your waiting for' so thought 'so it's done...'
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1859021 << https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8_U68YXuqc&t=15m38s ☝︎
asciilifeform: recall the thread with the tabs & spaces.
mircea_popescu: ahh, this article. "Some examples [limited strictly to girls&faggots styles, because forcing the sisters to play victim in some sort of injuns&cowboys game is very much not what kids do first and foremost] of symbolic play include playing house, or having a tea party. "
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in things that'll prolly need mirroring : https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page & http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ (lol).
a111: Logged on 2016-07-08 14:37 mircea_popescu: fucking "take moar oestrogen" confucius & "wanna hear our inept teenage boyish oneupmanships" zeo-dan derps.
asciilifeform: i suspect there's something to the 'fractional distillation' hypothesis -- there's ample record of chinese emperors, officials, & their concubines, doing opium 'to amplify fuck', which as i understand is not compatible with morphinism as it is known to modern industrial dopeheads
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 19:52 asciilifeform: ( pharmacologically also interesting : old-school opium 'smokers' ( wasn't actually smoked, it was sublimated in a device resembling today's 'crack pipe', and pretty 'high tech' procedure, look at photo of the kit some time ) -- the moar active components of the vegetable -- morphine & relateds -- didn't make it out of the pipe bowl, broke down, so theoretically the chinese were actually doing a somewhat different dope than today's j
a111: Logged on 2018-10-05 08:48 mircea_popescu: in other ideas : anyone wanna get a toll free us number & redirect it to here ? seems the better way to work that whole "or call xxx" angle.

asciilifeform: trinque: let's say you were selling usd, instead of jurov ; how wouldja pick a price ? ( serious q, i dun have what could be considered a civilized & deterministic algo presently )
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma do the next one ( given as BingoBoingo got his crate ) , this oughta give enuff time for lobbesbot & some semblance of civilized life to start
asciilifeform: Mocky: heh. sorta why i was orig reluctant to dig in & comment, i simply dun know enuff about the game mechanics
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Atrilema.com+%22and+in+other+dead+things%22&t=ffsb&ia=web << check out this lulz.

asciilifeform: orcs are doomed to 'discover' simple techs again & again, 4evah

asciilifeform: this was, recall, part of why BingoBoingo & mircea_popescu ended up 'let's isp'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857577 << amiga's os was a pretty simple thing, rather closer to msdos 'init the iron & get the fuck out of the way' than to current-day items ☝︎
mircea_popescu: just needs packaging & being market communicated.
asciilifeform: oh btw, lobbes & diana_coman , dun forget to set your rk's clocks.
asciilifeform: your heavies got fragged & reasmed by receiver
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 21:14 asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 , lobbes , let BingoBoingo & asciilifeform know when is good day to take down yer units and copy contents to new drives.
