mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aite ; the one thing missing from your enumeration there, is "gpgram me the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine." ; what this means is, i want a list showing "hey, i got $8500 (or w/e the fuck it was) and i spent x, y, z, k, l, leaving me with q". you wrote me a story, as a literary exercise, i want a numeric thing. gpg & send.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman as it currently stands it's a wonder it doesn't have ebcdic faggotry baked in also.
mircea_popescu: esthlos it is not standard procedure ; the emerging consensus is to have a dedicated philosophy file which a) all patches must touch (by protocol) ; b) contains comments as to the patcher's state of mind and c) contains one line per patch uniquely identifying it, machine generated. the format's not fixed yet, but as phf is working on a new proper vdiff it's probably going to coalesce around a variant of whatever he uses. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774614 << I have never seen a wire. I will intinsify my effort to suck less. I am trying to learn without falling into the outcome where we write this off as a learning experience. ☝︎
diana_coman: as usual, use it, change it, do whatever you want with it
douchebag: Eh, I was mentioning that stuff as a way to show how my "autism" doesn't negatively impact my life
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 18:57 trinque spent months years ago not talking to a soul except as needed at work
mircea_popescu: as alf says, "didn't everyone do that in kindergarten???"
douchebag: I've just been trying to think ahead about what I should do with my life. As of now I have a pretty solid plan in terms of getting started and whatnot, I'll definitely be living comfortable. I'm just not sure what I should try to do after that to
douchebag: Eventually, I would like to start a company of some sort providing security solutions to companies as well as hire pentesters to work for me. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, being an "academic" is not a career path. you can in principle go to any sort of school or none whatsoever to make an academic as good as any other, and nobody could discern this by examining you -- ie, there's a lot of dispute as to the training format. after you do or do not, every year you practice you stay at most as good as you were, and your market value generally decreases. eventually they "revolutionize" th
mircea_popescu: here's what i mean : being a doctor is a career path. you have to, mind, HAVE TO go to a certain fixed form schooling ; there's no dispute as to this. after you do, every year you practice you get better, and your market value improves. eventually decay sets in and you retire.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I want a career as a pentester, so far I feel I'm doing pretty good in terms of getting experience and reputation in the community. Do you have any suggestions for ways I that could get further on my career path? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: aaaanyway, as they say, "i can't believe i ate the whole thing!"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774473 << the problem is there's not what to have them do for even 14 hours a week. there's just too many of them, they're just too fucking useless, and they literally expect to live better than their parents. nuttery of the sort wasn't encountered ever since people on sunken titanic expected waltz to sound just as good underwater!!! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774471 << youtube clips sure as fuck cost. ended publishing just about. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: And exports from the local me to the foreign TMSR as exports do not incur VAT
mircea_popescu: also didn't you end up NOT having to pay vat, as per export etc ? or what was that discussion
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774399 << entirely separate concerns. as to 1, yes, we all have repeated conversations with alf in this vein, i dunno what exactly to do about it ; 2. the quality of your killshot was poor, and it is my theory that this is because the sort of topic would greatly benefit from the cohesive power of an article ; nothing to do with log not being canon, but a matter of collected convenience. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Mine two are of the sort that were chosen so as to not be too painful if the theiving sort of latinos populated here
asciilifeform: and various other spamolade ( depending on who you ask... various expireds also, e.g. as shown in https://archive.is/WuXSq )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774420 << as i see it, it's an attempt to 'cardanocoin', i.e. quietly barnacle on tmsr ☝︎
trinque has much to improve in teh blog category as well
asciilifeform: and it isn't as if 'log not canonical', but moar of limitations of meat memory.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 14:37 caaddr: "WARNING: MAY STILL CONTAIN DANGEROUS LEVELS OF SANITY". yes, just a joke. it would be nice to handle them as an exercise in hardware archaeology
mircea_popescu: there's one thing it can't express too well (well here means -- in such a way as to guaranteedly and inescapably inconvenience EVERYONE) and that is, a certain notion of finality.
asciilifeform: dataflow fabric can express e.g. carry-save-adders as well as anything else.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774008 << this goes right into stream processor as opposed to cpu and all that. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 14:30 caaddr: compared to compilation as a *software transformation device*, which I consider a different case: that is for automating levers, not running your program off of a cliff faster than before
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1773999 << it's not clear that this separate-and-oh-so-different-this-time attempt to implement dwim has any more merit than any of the previous ones. for as long as i can't say "paperclip, write the novel i feel inside of me", you can't say "software transformation compiler". ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for whole gnat, is prolly an unliftable load, at least until it is sawed into small pieces and rewritten in whatever we end up with as 'machine scheme' . i was speaking of individual built bin, e.g. an ffatron.
mircea_popescu: (holy shit these illiterate schmucks, so they spell it impetuous as the adjective but "impetus" as the noun. what the everloving fuck is this and where did my diaresis go!)
mircea_popescu: ~same thing as "received holy book", ie why the eastern version yielded "orthodoxy".
mircea_popescu: why all the coyness anyway. dja ever read the anonimity discussion, as it happens ?
mircea_popescu: (for the noobs : arbitrage as a financial "fashionable" item, the sorta thing tom cruise might be doing to explain why he has all that money and time to pursue "slavegirls" came to light during the 70s mergers and acquisitions craze (aka, m&a), where the success/failure of an attempt to takeover induces significant yet economically meaningless price movements. the whys and wherefores of both the behaviour and its effects are
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to me either. i'm mostly putting the matter into over-enunciated discussion to get the thinkjuices flowing on the topic, as it's gonna be the main bitch for years to come.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: loox like he appeared today, introduced as ffa reader.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-21 22:34 phf: mircea_popescu: it's not clear to me what "properly handle" is, given the many conversations on the subj. there's no reason why it couldn't if there was some direction as far as proper. i'm personally leaning towards the idea that binary blobs shouldn't be in vpatch (as per latest thread on subj), but it's a non-pragmatic take
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but life served you lemons. you gotta make what is a very unpleasant cut as a political decision.
mircea_popescu: the OTHER however, plain idiocy as opposed to the malevolent sort, is perhaps best rendered as "missing formats".
caaddr: as far as I can tell, you can either rewrite their shitware from scratch and surgically remove the primes yourself, or you can import it into the less damaged gpg1 to achieve much the same in a less irritating way
mircea_popescu: caaddr this is amply discussed, generally under the "not as much as a fucking working cipher omfg"
asciilifeform: caaddr: it's on a 1u machine on my desk, as we speak. which in turn is waiting for a host berth.
trinque: I will be willing to import a key with the same parameters, but marked as E
mod6: hanbot: here's what I have currently running on an Ubuntu 14.04 box. I believe this to be all that is required, you can change the values as required, but I think one catch that I found is that root's ulimit needed to be set just a bit higher than the non-root user.
caaddr: instead we have... what do we have? we have the blockchain but we're still using dns. we have common lisp but we're still using scheme, or, worse, clojure. we have ada but we're using rust. "we" being "we the people", as in the redditoid masses
asciilifeform: caaddr: if it's gone from the net, i'll stand up a mirror ( as soon as i have where to; currently between isps )
caaddr: "WARNING: MAY STILL CONTAIN DANGEROUS LEVELS OF SANITY". yes, just a joke. it would be nice to handle them as an exercise in hardware archaeology ☟︎
diana_coman: caaddr, previous similar problem with key+deedbot was due to expired key as per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1721390 ☝︎
caaddr: compared to compilation as a *software transformation device*, which I consider a different case: that is for automating levers, not running your program off of a cliff faster than before ☟︎
caaddr: I suppose you would prefer hardware-only optimizations in any case, so ideally they would not be part of the software stack at all. compilation for performance as caching only
asciilifeform: i.e. massive turd , sufficiently complex as to be as opaque as any binturd
asciilifeform: ( there is no such thing as 'gnat-4' )
diana_coman: upload the patches there + discussion as to why and what; link to asciilifeform's ch1 ffa and you're done
mircea_popescu: "Coping with radical novelty requires an orthogonal method. One must consider one's own past, the experiences collected, and the habits formed in it as an unfortunate accident of history, and one has to approach the radical novelty with a blank mind, consciously refusing to try to link it with what is already familiar, because the familiar is hopelessly inadequate." << this never was, and absolutely never will be the case. mo
hanbot: file-max futzing as graciously put on example above resulted in zero change of error, fwiw. will check out mod6's pill when available (no rush).
mircea_popescu: it's "could have had, that's just as good" all the way down!
mircea_popescu: meter the resources as you do it, cpu time/disk io, whatever is your concern. then bill the person, and store the bill, so you can present it in the future ("the previous three bills average X, so you have an idea how much)
lobbes: target=blank added on external archive links (links to archive.is) as well
BingoBoingo: They use it and "Este" as verbal pauses here
mircea_popescu: entonces is then as in, right then. then as in, afterwards is despues or whatever.
mircea_popescu: it's a relatively easy place to get by as an aa, they're not really heavy drinkers. just say no and that's that.
trinque: goebbels is allowed to bang jewish chicks so long as he whistles Deutschlandlied during
douchebag: Oh no, not yet I'll throw something up the next time I find something interesting to blog about. Currently I'm using medium as a way to get better known in the community
mircea_popescu: spyked well, i expect the ivf of ye olde library was epsilon. as alf says, "entomologist only". because wtf do they have, a story of two scytales ? tyvm, it's obsolete.
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and walk the list of binary images, applying one or the other as best fits.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you're on to something here douchebag ; work on it, with serious dedication, by the time you're as old as the rest of these guys you'll prolly be more valuable than them.
hanbot: mircea_popescu : if you'd prefer, there's also a format to encapsulate em as base64: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/RlPyK/?raw=true
douchebag: Ohh right, I understand. I agree, however to me I treat web application pentesting as almost a sort of game or puzzle, in my opinion it is rather entertaining challenge to be able to modify a web applications behavior in a way that leads to total comprimise.
mircea_popescu: douchebag you're familiar with how there's a group of idle cocksuckers holding conferences and printing books about "technology!" which immutably consists of pointless websites run as investor swindles ? groupon, facebook, what have you. http://trilema.com/2015/you-know-what-gets-no-airplay-unflattering-truth/ sorta thing.
phf: mircea_popescu: it's not clear to me what "properly handle" is, given the many conversations on the subj. there's no reason why it couldn't if there was some direction as far as proper. i'm personally leaning towards the idea that binary blobs shouldn't be in vpatch (as per latest thread on subj), but it's a non-pragmatic take ☟︎
phf: third solution, that's latest conversation in logs on subj is that perhaps binary blobs don't really belong in a vdiff which is a human readable code container, and should just be packed separately into e.g. a signed TAR archive and unpacked into place as a second pass
a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 15:43 mircea_popescu: spyked re pingback thing, doesn't even have to be that hand-generated ; just walk the db, extract all links, construct the calls as shown and make curl calls. can be a bash script.
mircea_popescu: sometimes (often) wordpress manages to lose a pingback ; that thing will walk your db, spit out properly formatted xml payloads for all links in all your (published) posts. the resuilt can be run as a bash script to catch up on any missed pingbacks.
shinohai: The only garbage I remember in the one on my site was I changed icons in the images/ directory, otherwise I believe as I received.
asciilifeform: it was hilarious, i went into a couplea pharmacies, saw ~nuffin that was recognizable as actual pharma, mostly various gerovitals, groundhog fats, snake oils (literally)
mircea_popescu: these are all distinct ips as at some point (maybe 2015 ish ?) i wiped dupes. but i get maaaybe 1 spam item in review queue per day
hanbot: asciilifeform i'm using mp-wp on nfs and spam works pretty much as expected ---though having ~10k marked spam comments helps.
mircea_popescu: (has any of the reformed-judaism-that-calls-itself-xtianity folk even CONSIDER to date that it's fucking weird their divine item was shown as ~a very competent nigger~, talking smack in church and whatnot, but is not even CONSIDERED in terms of his vocation ? where's the passage in the "here's what we stole from torah" where it is gone into detail as to the quality of the man's joints ? because there's oodlebunches of idle pa
mircea_popescu: which is why societies that fail to teach basic numeracy to girls as a collective spring up all the time, and quite naturally : they are realising "savings" in the sense of bacteriums.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/la-ce-imi-serveste-mie-radicalurile/ fails to even consider or discuss this point (for sheer lack of interest at the time), BUT : for most people, square roots as the concept do not bring any sort of gain.
mircea_popescu: and i don't even mean ~subjective~ functions here! it's not a case that "to the exceptionally gifted as identified by ivy league, worth as he is maybe $1000 with clothes included, the subjectively perceived marginal value of information is slightly negative. no, no, no, OBJECTIVE, you can tell him whatever the fuck you will and he will not have any use for it -- i don't mean "he won't be able to find any use, above his $1k pa

asciilifeform: i.e. Product is only written to as result of the FZ_Mod call , http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians#L148 , which in turn , inside FZ_Mod, is a clean 1-shot, http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians#L102 . QED.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1771712 << at the risk of thread necromancy ( item was candidate for ch8, so i gotta ) this is false. FZ_Mod_Mul as seen in ch7 IS bufferized, because ch7's FZ_Mod is. ☝︎

phf: by the way, knuth's CWEB nicely solves the whole auto-wrapped comment issue. the TeX part doesn't mandate newlines, and obviously does it's own formatting, but the C part is also very aggressively formatted by the CWEB code. specifically /* comments */ are treated as TeX source, and get re-wrapped according to TeX rules.
mircea_popescu: "do not use 2nd class link as 1st class link". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: spyked re pingback thing, doesn't even have to be that hand-generated ; just walk the db, extract all links, construct the calls as shown and make curl calls. can be a bash script. ☟︎
spyked: mircea_popescu, I wanna first get a working item (js highlighting for trilema anchors) then make everything link into a static binary, then post them. as they are right now, I expect them to be unusable on many systems (e.g. musl-gentoo).
mircea_popescu: as to the chat, i'd much hear your malformed oppinions than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772852 ; http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772915 ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22+orlo%22 ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=yarvin ; http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=Yudkowsky and the rest of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-08#1767149 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: it includes such wonders as frozen nvidia drivers (binary)
spyked: there are some dependencies on cl-who and a few other libraries, which for now are taken as they are (similarly to trb "deps")
spyked: hi mircea_popescu. sure, I remember russell's thing. but is that really a problem? (as long as there's a republic to squash the cocksure idiots)
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773176 <-- yikes! sorry phf, I fixed it (and double-checked, as I should have in the first place) --> http://lucian.mogosanu.ro/v/seals/ffa_ch4_ffacalc.vpatch.spyked.sig ☝︎
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773115 <-- /me raises hand. ohai! tuned in read-only since last seen, still have a lot to read before starting to voice opinions IMHO. also doing things, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769983 ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
shinohai: It is most definitely NOT showing up as /dev/ttyUSB* though
mircea_popescu: it's such a pleasure to see half a dozen people work as a team without needing to blather.
mircea_popescu: what, am i to surmise we're not as cool as snowden and strauss-kahn ? or rather that the empire sunk to such a depth it is not even capable of finding mendacious prostitutes/chambermaids anymore ?
