mircea_popescu: "if you let the sheep in, the sheep scent soon follows."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger look at his data. 97.7% rsa, ~3% dss (!), ~0% other
mircea_popescu: lol compromised in the attack : spotify, python core and crypto libs, django and ruby.
mircea_popescu: in other news, nobody uses ecdsa. considering what they spent trying to get people on it... such success.
mircea_popescu: speaking of that, asciilifeform any idea how it's possible that Submissions: 3305302 Known Moduli: 2708380 Moduli Waiting for Test: 3677 ? shouldn't these add up ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lol. and even better - he wanted to buy it, to show how easy it is. then it wasn't easy. but instead of publishing a piece about how "i thought it was easy - turns out it's not", he has a ...
mircea_popescu: i suppose that's how the whole soypizdi thing should go, too. "no ty, you're a dude" "I AM NOT A DUDE I AM A STUDENT!!!"
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. gun shop refused selling to alcoholic wifebeater, he identifies as "journalist" and butthurts all over ?
mircea_popescu: but yeah, this is a pretty good model. "natural language is just like a computer language that had no // or quotations." "so how do i know magic strings, and comments, from code ?" "your mother."
mircea_popescu: just because the comment-out is communicated in-band rather than explicitly given as // or whatever doesn't mean it's strongly typed.
mircea_popescu: so basically you're saying natural language works because interpretable rather than compiled ?
mircea_popescu: head ordinarily holds billions' loc worth, shit, we can even climb a stair
mircea_popescu: is this a perception problem, a language problem, what ?
mircea_popescu: ps : why is "common wisdom" in agreement that "no man could possibly hold 1mn lines of code in head" when i actually have 10mn words worth of trilema articles in my head ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: maybe articles like that should include an "editor's pick" and then once a year we could total how well qntra did.
mircea_popescu: nor do they need to. there's yet to be invented some manner of keeping the dickless from being totally handpuppetted out.
mircea_popescu: and for anyone who deludes himself into fucking thinking that "women voting" and "divorce" is "what made '''america''' ungreat again", seriously, come to fucking argentina. they're just as dickless as you are and women here don't get to divorce anyone.
mircea_popescu: seriously, when you're trying to represent argentina, think of a 1950s awkansaw that never heard of new york and seriously thinks itself "the jewel of the ozarks" or some such shit. in all seriousness, no self-deprecatory humour intended OR EVEN CONCEIVABLE.
mircea_popescu: i have like a feeling that if i offered them to wear a cock cage and watch quietly while i fuck the girls, more than half would gladly accept.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo here's a hint at the greatness and grandeur of being a young male in a fucked up society : 90%+ of soypizdi correspondents are... male.
mircea_popescu: with any luck someone actually sends actual bitcoin to either "buy" the stuff to "mommentum trade" or else you know "short it". either way it's a win - your 0 value scamcoin attracted some actual money!
mircea_popescu: soon enough you're sitting on an account that is still worth the 0 it was worth to begin with, except that has also bought 10x to 100x of the same scamtokens. so... "they are buying" ? yeah, sure. and paying with what ?
mircea_popescu: think for a moment how a shitshow like poloniex works. you make 1mn scamtokens out of thin air. you send them to a "margined" "exchange" website. you use the "margin" 1mn scamtokens provide to... buy 1mn more! now you have enough "marginable assets" ie scamtokens to... buy 1mn more! and if the price goes up... 1mn more!
mircea_popescu: but absent that, the prb solution (where p stands for a poor man) is well...
mircea_popescu: the sane way is to have a negotiating mechanism AMONG AUTHENTICATED NODES
mircea_popescu: no, if they just throw everything they have randomly at everyone you get exponential chattering-up
☟︎ mircea_popescu: one large driving factor of the low node count is exactly this ALL TO ALL nonsense scheme. if you have 1mb mempool and 100 nodes your chatter is 10gb. if you had 1k nodes your chatter would be 1tb.
mircea_popescu: trinque nah, the german chick was much too organised to pili.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i kinda doubt it. there's really not much common root between me and teh esl derps.
mircea_popescu: looks likely, sure. "rescue girl from drug den", homeboys watched too much true romance or what.
mircea_popescu: funny how there's not even the cursory attempt to bow to laws anymore. cracked shield -> searched car. problem ?
mircea_popescu: whereas apparently this is more like cocksure bois that really should be singing the castrato parts in classical italian operas.
mircea_popescu: of course, that's mostly because the fat ugly women composing 90% of that scene tend to write things on their sikrit livejournals.
mircea_popescu: the sheer amount of idiots pouring into trilema since the etherape is unmatched historically. not when the doge, not when the ripple, not when the mtgox, not when the any other thing. where the everloving fuck do they keep spawning from and when is their mother getting her god damned tubes tied already!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at republican ranch : no code without crypto ; no factory without automated assault vehicles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sweet dreams are made of this, who am i to disagree. i own the world and its seven seas, every nigger's lookin for free dough...
mircea_popescu: anyway, the yarvin thing has a point. "intelligent" interface is exactly like "perpetuum mobile"|
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone actually understands stupid people
mircea_popescu: phf i'm not even sure what proper tools to talk about this in. so basically, you're discussing a sort of "nothing happened" for the mouthbreather population ?
mircea_popescu: whole thing's incredibly stupid. fuck you if i'm going to pay a red cent to the "state budget". once i make a factory, it'll assemble its own tanks and fucking shoot the lot of them derps.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eu is entirely broke, news at whatever hour
mircea_popescu: but this is a deeply broken manner of thinking about terminals, as if one's forever stuck on ONE
mircea_popescu: is the mail client inlined in the... syslog ? or what ?
mircea_popescu: this "in the X" windows user concept always baffled me. nigga, these are pieces of paper, they don't have anyting IN them.
mircea_popescu: well no, cuz you left me in the dark here. wut is being discussed!
mircea_popescu: if i awk | sed | grep do i read stuff "right in the grep" or "right in the awk" ?
mircea_popescu: how exactly does unix force someone to write code that allocates heap on the basis of what user tells it to
mircea_popescu: what's the sovietism for this ? when derp gets pass from his job to do something stupid ?
mircea_popescu: there is absolutely no conceivable reason the derps responsible for libarchive should have been "taken out of production" in the first place.
mircea_popescu: phf how does this relate to "peasant found himself writing code for library other peasants imported for no reason" ?
mircea_popescu: "here's my order, here's your order, here's the court whatever".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform about 1/3 of all spam is "zip" archives of all kinds.
