mircea_popescu: civilisation just isn'
t what it used to be, 1mn lazy asses don'
t sum >0.
lobbes: Few weeks ago I was trying to buy a power supply cable and didn'
t want to wait for lulazon to ship. Tried half-dozen local shops, both "big box retailers" and "mom n pop computer stores"; -none- had any in stock >>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812272 ☝︎ mircea_popescu: ie, "all these naked chicks can'
t even figure out where the praying beads are"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: don'
t get high sided my man
mircea_popescu: however a) they build out of steel beams and brick and b) they're built out of solid "don'
t give a fuck". so...
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nono, i exaggerate, grossly. that said, i haven'
t figured out how to bake a chicken without a cloud of chicken-scent emerging and permeating the domus on every basting.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: this one is nominally double-walled; haven'
t cut through it...yet.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, discussion in harem, "isn'
t that too much linking on the neet explanation ?" "you'll see".
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> funnily enuff i got stuck behind one of these in a little shop in BingoBoingostan : the lulz was in that the modem in the register was slow enuff that cc folx were ~slower~ than ones paying with ordinary money << Serious quality of life issue here. The awful part is the locals CAN'
T learn to use the pin pads and have to try 3+ times
mircea_popescu: the impossibility of mechanical friendship isn'
t case by case, it's a fundamental problem.
mircea_popescu: basically, exactly like you say, we have a personhood mechanism, it'll have to be used. can'
t sit down and "make a mechanical friend JUST FOR THIS ONE CASE"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 05:01 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it seems to me the factors ~aren;
t~ normally distributed.
mircea_popescu: what gpg tried to do is somehow kludge a whole working republic into their early prototype key "ecosystem". it didn'
t work in practice, but that aside, it's not actually useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, indeed. i tell you, i don'
t see it. the arguments from 2016 prevail, making the ssh-style correct imo.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-16 21:10 mircea_popescu: as it's not acctually correctly designed it 1) creates false sense of security ; 2) creates unnecessary byzantinism and "can'
t pop the hood on this"
mircea_popescu: so at the same time people want to see whether "their" ssh key is fucking them like historically they have ; but we can'
t distinguish "their" key from garbage.
mircea_popescu: but it goes to show what seems to me actually an intrinsic failure of the ssh key format : the fact that it isn'
t self-signed (rather more generally, the fact that it "segwits" the metadata, having the whole authority mechanism separated from the actual key [and generally implemented as "this key has authority because $user emailed it to me"]) makes it very vulnerable to any failure outside of itself, and impossible to evalua
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that's exactly the idea, the herd won'
t bother until you reach the precise epsilon.
spyked: ah, I didn'
t think that far yet. I wanna submit some of the ssh keys I have lying around (or see if they were previously submitted).

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 04:11 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, here's a suspicious : so many of these tards have known factors like 2, 3, 5 -- showing there was ~no primality test involved. isn'
t it bizarre we don'
t see other factors then, say 111 ?
ben_vulpes: there is, or was i don'
t really care to look, something named like that in portland too: "The Open Sourcery"

☟︎ trinque: esthlos: I don'
t think anyone demands you use precisely that name, if doing so results in more needless complexity than just picking another.
ben_vulpes: i wouldn'
t be surprised to find an old key of mine in there from a mac
mircea_popescu: wasn'
t going to include that part anyway. can do blogpost, or i guess here if you want to.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-09 22:09 BingoBoingo: And the professional opinion came in today. Keep taking the same antibiotic, same dose for 10 more days and if it isn'
t substantially better in a week chest X-ray. Also was recommended a different anti-mucus syrup.
douchebag: I didn'
t want to shit up the logs posting CVE's and their descriptions
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've always assumed it's because dood can'
t copy/paste
BingoBoingo: As as humid as it is here, I don'
t want mushrooms growing inside me. It's a river valley so everyone is assumed to be carrying histoplasmosis

☟︎ ben_vulpes: there'll be ~no way around asking each user for a gpg key i don'
t think
mircea_popescu: or do you hope to somehow make a "more undeniable" hole than "this is specifically what we agreed you won'
t do" ?
steel: That would be bad for the real Bitcoin, no? Why wouldn'
t I wait to buy MUCH much more real Bitcoin after revert with same fiat paper
mircea_popescu: trinque, i suppose his (intuitive, unexamined) idea is that the item's reversible and will get reversed (as it is, and will) and doesn'
t know how it'd work in practice.
mircea_popescu: anyway. bitcoin is bitcoin. the various "i can'
t believe it's not bitcoin" scams the usg has been trying to push are just that, margerine ~nobody cares about (notwithstanding every nigger out there is trying to pretend like they're eating it an' lovin' it)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, Moduli Waiting for Test: 6976474 << still same figure, meaning it's still churning hasn'
t yet returned ?
spyked: aha. my reply was strictly re the "place to follow phuctorings other than #
t" subj. not sure whether this is needed. if ppl here find any value in something similar to #chainstate for phuctor, then I can do this pretty easily.
spyked: and of course, thing can advertise rss via pm as well. but I'll only post public details about the bot as soon as I'm fairly confident that it won'
t shatter upon douchebag's first attempt to exploit it.
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-06#1810568 <-- hey asciilifeform, sorry for the late reply on this. what do you think about throwing an instance of my experimental rss bot in a separate chan (say, #phuctor) to spit however many new phuctorings? it's not fit for #
t yet (deedbot self-voicing not yet ready) and not 100% stable yet, but it'd give me a chance to test it; and you to give me a kick in the rear if it doesn'
t work.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: eh, ssd disks aren'
t that expensive. this doubles as an effective ssd tester bed.
mircea_popescu: would have been so fucking sweet if we didn'
t have to say that about fucking emacs, and tex.
esthlos: asciilifeform: afaik I haven'
t. what link are you using?
trinque: the syntax looks like shit the moment two items at the same level in the AST don'
t line up
pete_dushenski: doesn'
t that defeat the advantage of decentralisation ? or are you thinking many such zones ?
pete_dushenski: just finished reading "NYT #1" (aren'
t they all) book by yuval harari - homo deus - in which this ~historian~ goes on and on about ai taking ur jerbs, magick biotech pills that will turn us into supermen, and other technodystopianist nonsense. had dude shut up after first 2/3rds of the book and stuck with the history of human technological progress
pete_dushenski: lol he'll figure that out the day after he figures out that being "rich" means that you don'
t have to beg for jobs and "second chances"
pete_dushenski: couldn'
t find this in the logs (so apologies if it's a repost) but holy shit is usg.btc scraping the bottom of the barrel if fatso karpeles is being resurrected as "cto" of privateinternetaccess (vpn)
http://archive.is/XusOQ pete_dushenski: what's africa got that south america doesn'
t, other than aids ?
pete_dushenski: i could see all of #
t in south america by that point too
pete_dushenski: even though contravex doesn'
t pop up here anymore, i get a kick out of the fact that it's still mostly #
t'ers and former #
t'ers who comment there. i guess this place still is the ballsiest nook of the net no matter what.
BingoBoingo: And to top it all off, as much as my walking speed has slowed today, THEY STILL WON'
T STOP STOPPING
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Maybe next place doesn'
t need great fiber?
mircea_popescu: in short -- stalin didn'
t have it so well, to the degree being purged is not directly nor obviously a worse fate.
mircea_popescu: also, though, not being purged isn'
t the end all be all summum bonum.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t imagine zhukov purging him, but then again my imagination isn'
t the arbiter of history.
mircea_popescu: the german -- didn'
t lack ; and in the upheaval, the political barriers to innovation turned out to be also weak. so they made.
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t some kind of argument in the line of "russki orcs" ; in point of fact tanks led strategies were invented by russians ; but copied and employed at first by zee germans.
mircea_popescu: there aren'
t any scraps, the whole thing is under glass and someone drops glucose.
ben_vulpes: and lo, isn'
t it interesting that as the barrier for lordship goes up and the bar for defrocking goes down, the pantsuit imitate to their detriment while the republic purges dross?
mircea_popescu: hey, mr hui didn'
t do so well as an envoy to kishinev either.
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent : "don'
t put your hands or your dick in the food". because to people familiar with latin and its derivatives, "manipulacion de alimentos" sounds 100% like the wrong approach to handling food.)
mircea_popescu: but i didn'
t know more than they do in ~any and all fields as a wee tyke in 92, now did i. in fact, that's pretty much how i found out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, can'
t be the null set, there's a handcrafted gentoo for instance.
mircea_popescu: you know for a fact that if people ~didn'
t~ buy cellphones, they'd be forced down their throats via "employer '''bought''' and here it is, wear it".
mircea_popescu: so now back to it : idle marketing gimmicks whereby they crust diamonds to a cellphone / put crowns on random selected poor from the socialist horde etc, so as to sell the phones/electoral nonsense w/e they're selling, "it's worth spending your time waiting tables in la, because this one chick we picked gets 10mn a year and so couldn'
t you (unless of course we arbitrarily and entirely outside of your control pick you)." matte
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i don'
t permit socialist redefinitions of words universally, this is not much discovery.
mircea_popescu: but see, the word printed on it isn'
t "please! NOT MY DAUGHTER!" in the blood of a double rape and murder victim.
mircea_popescu: and even if it stands to unexamined imagination, "the $5 watch renders the demand for $500`000 watches 0", this is never true. no demand ever reaches actual 0, for very good reasons that have to do with how negative numbers don'
t exist irl.
mircea_popescu: gets a wristwatch) the introduction of the quartz movement resolved the problem, pushing supply to ~infinity bn and therefore demand first to 900mn and eventually to maybe half bn. (i haven'
t worn a wristwatch in like 20 years, because why.)
mircea_popescu: and the problem isn'
t even that "it takes a skilled man 5 years to handmake a watch", because half-mn watches would sell and skilled people make less than 100k a year routinely. the problem is rather "are you fucking kidding me, the only way you can find whores is if you find someone to persuade women-on-couches that whoring wouldn'
t inconvenience their couch-bound lifestyle, wtf handmade clocks. you're lucky if they can be a
mircea_popescu: anyway -- lawnmower flying machines are slow enough, loud enough, limited enough, targettable enough, undynamic enough and everything else enough that even 1980s tech bound empire can handle them, even "en masse" (they can'
t mass well either)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the true reason "no need to optimize on that axis" is because it's a flying machine that doesn'
t threaten the usg.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i was saddened that they're apparently in bed with such jews that they can'
t bring themselves to sink the target ship
