asciilifeform: wat

asciilifeform: aha!11

asciilifeform: it tells me 'a if an'

asciilifeform: i'ma consult 'the of'.

asciilifeform: (faded print, i fuhget what it was originally)

asciilifeform has a book on his shelf, titled THE OF

asciilifeform: (of... those who Just Wanted ?)

asciilifeform: The Number Of

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-04-29#650474 ☝︎

asciilifeform: $s how many bugs

asciilifeform: right after i calculate the number of their pubic lice.

asciilifeform: l0lwut

asciilifeform: not by martians, no.

asciilifeform: ^ the mental process of homo phpicus exposed

asciilifeform: 'common patterns to avoid them' << gold

asciilifeform: anything other than unconditional capitulation to trb, == prb.

asciilifeform: ugh wat

asciilifeform: +111% cuck voatez

asciilifeform: no, no, http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/usherf.htm << him

asciilifeform: usher, as in 'the house of ' ??!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw, thorough walk of my nodes' traffic suggested 95%+ prb (until i put in malleus)

asciilifeform: where is this temptation

asciilifeform: ^ i utterly fail to grasp

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: as dan mocsny pointed out, 'creepy' is a word which largely means 'unattractive but not yet castrated'

asciilifeform: 'when DEC Alpha existed, did you motherfuckers buy?? no?? have fun' ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: they HAD the option

asciilifeform: but this could be same as your example above

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not certain that anyone PRESENTLY has the real option to 'be varied in hardware'

asciilifeform: with some unknown number on periphery being public 'leaf' nodes.

asciilifeform: i.e. plugged in solely to each other via ssh tunnels etc

asciilifeform: the other interesting spice in the mix is that some unknown number of nodez are 'dark'

asciilifeform: that wouldn't create chorus of 'all these 5,000 nominally distinct nodes down for 20 minutes'

asciilifeform: noshit.jpg

asciilifeform: but not hard to guess what it looked like.

asciilifeform: care to share output ?

asciilifeform: anybody consider experiment where clusters of nodez with similar latency / uptime patterns are illuminated ?

asciilifeform: incidentally!

asciilifeform: (this would be sad)

asciilifeform: for all i know, mine are the only working ones presently

asciilifeform: (there is ~no mechanical way to count)

asciilifeform: R2 "yeah, like less than 50." << it bothers me that i actually have NO IDEA how many

asciilifeform: lel

asciilifeform: eh we're still waiting for ~proper~ rsa collision

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492041 << linked mainly for the last line: 'settled out of court' ☝︎

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: what specifically did you have in mind ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492032 << let's also bribe the cockroaches in the kitchen to 'vote' to leave ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most units of recent vintage have the port closed

asciilifeform: is a financial crash (which was inevitable in any case; see “Ponzi scheme” above) then that is blamed on their bad choices at the polls.'

asciilifeform: ' If they don’t want to see their country overrun by illegal migrants (note that having had you country destroyed by NATO does not qualify you for political asylum) then they are called racist and bigoted. If they fail to grasp some of the finer points of EU’s bureaucratic governance (because, frankly, who would want to waste time on all that nonsense?) then they are called ignorant and misguided. And, most importantly, if there

asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2016/06/firing-elites_28.html

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd be curious to see where all the rng-less home routers etc. went

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/45c39efb-967b-4c3b-9c6a-b9d2dff8afeb/?raw=true (re the tor thing)

asciilifeform: he had the next step ready-made.

asciilifeform: not like this.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-09-26#845694 << yet moar ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-01#473009 << prev thread ☝︎

asciilifeform: another - nsa confiscation.

asciilifeform: (one - not very sexy answer - is that it was a fraud. source was published nowhere, nor anyone other than lenat exposed to it afaik)

asciilifeform: in which possibly lie the answers to 1,001 riddles elsewhere.

asciilifeform: why lenat dropped eurisko and burned the rest of his life on idiocy is the $64k question

asciilifeform: see MANIFEST.TXT.

asciilifeform: the actual implementation language and mechanism

asciilifeform: some of the material appeared elsewhere, but not - afaik - the juicy bits re 'rll'

asciilifeform: 43d0f9aeb9e0d1d7a4a89754feb3cfbd487768c16fa3ef986512e91f25fb96f6e1b500e813d8655239e9970cc0b72e32dea6ad95617a8f3ef3ac1761f1be012c

asciilifeform: ^ enjoy

asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/lenat-leaks.tar.gz ☟︎

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: one min

asciilifeform: doubly so given how yudkowsky campaigns to have anyone trying this, killed

asciilifeform: prolly needs new home.

asciilifeform: it was then mirrored by kako and for all i know is still up.

asciilifeform: esp. re 'self-checking' mechanisms.

asciilifeform: some pretty interesting material in there, actually.

asciilifeform: (who wants to read ? we had whole thread, where i FOIA'd everything lenat ever publicly did on taxpayer dollars, and posted here)

asciilifeform: and needed ~no hand-holding.

asciilifeform: vs eurisko, which actually came up with fresh heuristics.

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what were you looking at ?

asciilifeform: you still need a mechanizable notion of 'succeed'

asciilifeform: (we don't remember the names of the dead in the water folk)

asciilifeform: the 'great navigators' navigated by everett's device.

asciilifeform: and it - largely - didn't work.

asciilifeform: or what 'motion' is.

asciilifeform: dead reckoning dun work without some notion of where you are going !

asciilifeform: in any adult game - same

asciilifeform: aha. but reckoning dun work without a position function.

asciilifeform: bridging the gap is where the monte carlo thing came in.

asciilifeform: when 100 - most certainly is.

asciilifeform: yes there is ~no position function when there are 3 stones on the board.

asciilifeform bangs head on desk

asciilifeform: um

asciilifeform: he lost in a game where evaluation function fits in a few lines of c.

asciilifeform: taking for a moment the assumption that sedol ~actually~ lost --

asciilifeform: http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/create.htm << obligatory. ☟︎

asciilifeform: now we know that mircea_popescu doesn't need warez - his hdd has a knob that turns whole thing into an adder, and he simply cycles through the states until he gets a disk with the desired 1333333337 w4r3z on it.

asciilifeform: wakemeupplox

asciilifeform: i'll sleep a bit while mircea_popescu sets the trillion parameters

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how's it to test a b00k containing a SINGLE instance of the canonical 'my sister, do you still recall как Ельцин бился мордой в пол ?'

asciilifeform: it was his 'blackphone'.

asciilifeform: imho cyc is what the schmuck blew rest of his life on after 'eurisko' was confiscated for national seeek00000rity

asciilifeform: 'here's a REALLY BIG HAMMER. now go whack that mountain until a city comes out'
