mircea_popescu: the whores
i've known in my lyf taught me to not take a man's own word on that score.
ascii_modem: but
i'm still crunchng. crunching under nazi boot
mircea_popescu: well,
i have not the instrumentation to make this point rigurouslyt
mircea_popescu: by the time
i can actually point to something, that side's lost.
mircea_popescu: punkman if nothing else,
i have a very convenient rally point.
mircea_popescu: gnutls was marked for death along with everythning else
i nthe pki scabies pile
decimation:
I would note that it seems this is in coordiation with the "linux foundation"
mircea_popescu:
i wonder if google telepathy keyboard will work intermediately. secretary on her back with the things attacked, you stick your cock into her and write your next article.
ascii_modem:
i just need to memorize morse for 'shoot me now plz'
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 02:30:55; gernika:
I attended a lisp meetup in SV today at which someone presented their altcoin which happened to be written in CL. This altcoin exists apparently because bitcoin too "too slow."
mircea_popescu:
i guess as the flesh sears under the hot tongs, "high ranking" usg employees will scream how people "willingly paid taxes"
ascii_modem:
i'm not quite enough entomolgist to say precisely what.
mircea_popescu:
i mean gimme a break, even junk like sr was supposedly doing more damage than this.
mircea_popescu:
i have nfi how it can cost them less than 10-20 billion
decimation:
I suspect google already has some kind of sweetheart regulation somewhere
decimation: yeah, it's just depressing.
I would note that the above 'big 4' are exactly what everyone in the us is banking on to save the entire system
mircea_popescu:
i am not aware of ANY stock option deal that is not a scam outside of mpex to date.
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 04:17:05; mircea_popescu: punkman completely driven crazy with the body image these days.
i'm surprised there's even females left at all, sometimes. reasonable expectation last one died cca 2003 over a bulimia-anorexia crisis.
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:47:21; mircea_popescu: in any case :
i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason. these situations always stink.
phf: ascii_modem: that's what kept me from continuing to work on that patch, but
i still ended up hacking the code for bulk export, since O(n^3)
decimation: agreed,
I was just making point about 'unixphilosophy'
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:26:53; mircea_popescu: "At the time of posting this LTC is at $4.25, where as when
I went to bed last night it was at $8.80. " << wasn't some twerp going on about how ltc has more volume than btc or some shit ?
phf: ben_vulpes:
i started writing a patch that would let dumpblock accept cut's number range syntax,
i.e. 1,7-100,200- but didn't think anyone would need it.
i can pick it up again in a day or two, though
i suspect you need it now?
ben_vulpes: ascii_modem: forgive the idiocy,
i don't see any scriptage around the `dumpblock'ing
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:48:32; gabriel_laddel:
I need interns
ben_vulpes: it's fine tho
i'll just buy a little more rsi :P
ben_vulpes: all of your mails coming through in .txt makes finding your utterances annoying, because
i don't index attachments
ascii_modem: though
i may have neglected to attach it. check.
ascii_modem:
i wanted to explain that
i don't evaluate softs in comparison with microshit. just as
i don't evaluate meal by comparing with a tall glass of liquishit.
ben_vulpes: hate to interrupt, but ascii_modem did you ever post a hack for speedily dumping all blocks via a -dumpblock analog or am
i misremembering?
cazalla:
i liked that ghetto version of homm2 which came on the cd, forget the name of it
cazalla: my brother played a lot of homm2 (mind you, here is retarded so probably didn't play it well despite sinking so much time into it, never wanted to play it over LAN with me for some reason)..
i prefrered EQ..
mircea_popescu:
i spent the decade playing homm2 and mm6/7. nevertheless... some people actually cared about everquest and wow and whatnot.
ascii_modem:
i played 'edna' (1996!) just now. in czech.
trinque: but also hell,
I like wearing a good suit (and
I'm sure by better standards
I've never worn one)
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 04:14:52; trinque:
I tend to think how you hold yourself *is* how you feel about yourself, rather than how you convey it
mircea_popescu: punkman completely driven crazy with the body image these days.
i'm surprised there's even females left at all, sometimes. reasonable expectation last one died cca 2003 over a bulimia-anorexia crisis.
☟︎ punkman:
I got the impression she was looking at her belly with most outfits
trinque:
I tend to think how you hold yourself *is* how you feel about yourself, rather than how you convey it
☟︎ cazalla: not that
i enjoy a slouch, just not something
i've considered before either
mircea_popescu: cazalla
i liked the fact that the only pictures in which she displays good posture, she's wearing "slave" or whatever you'd call it garb.
phillipsjk: After a little research,
I found that twofish was one of the finalists in that competition. (Apparently the 64bit block size of blowfish it a little small for some applications like encrypting over 4GB) You are probing me now :)
mircea_popescu: (yes,
i confess, mp doesn't generally use natural language "as it is", but "as it should be", like any serious autist. it's wonder anything
i say's comprehensible to any degree)
mircea_popescu:
i guess "purely political" is not even the best way to state it. purely idiosyncratic.
mircea_popescu: and
i don't expect a dude to have something meaningful to say because he got a nobel prize, but IN SPITE of getting it.
mircea_popescu: you know, like
i don't expect a film to be good because it got 7 oscars.
i expect it to suck.
mircea_popescu:
i dunno about you, or anyone else. but to me, winning a competition is a discomendation.
decimation: mircea_popescu:
I buy your political reasons, but aes was the 'winner' of a fairly large and open 'competition' and was then recommended by usg. How is that 'coming out of nowhere'?
mircea_popescu: hm. by "worst retarded"
i actually mean "least retarded".
assbot: Logged on 11-07-2015 22:56:47; ascii_modem: fuck opengl.
i want peter henderson's sexpr graphics
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk
i've not put much design effort into that yet at any rate.
gabriel_laddel:
I could go to africa (or stanford) if
I wanted to be "considered intelligent"
gabriel_laddel: Even if what
I'm suggesting for interns is state of the art for some people.
phillipsjk: Anyway,
I screwed up with my AES comment: naivly encrypting game commands with a fixed key will give you the same cipher text given the same input. Chipher modes are not my field of expertise though.
gabriel_laddel:
I want to move *up* the ladder of abstraction. Purely mechanical lisping doesn't interest me.
mircea_popescu: that process works better the other way. ("
i need to intern for this guy" vs "
i need people to intern for me")
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel
i think the principle of machine-fixed code is broken, but hey. maybe you're in a narrow enough case you can pull it off.
mircea_popescu: in any case :
i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason. these situations always stink.
☟︎☟︎ phillipsjk: Can
I auth with the bot without voicing?
phillipsjk:
I am not sure
I can auth with assbot. to verify
I need to decrypt a OTP, but
I need a rating of 2 for the !up command to challenge me with one.
hanbot: mircea_popescu
i think the point is able!=expected
phillipsjk:
I really should auth with the bot with pgp though.
mircea_popescu: "At the time of posting this LTC is at $4.25, where as when
I went to bed last night it was at $8.80. " << wasn't some twerp going on about how ltc has more volume than btc or some shit ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "waiter,
i ordered soffran rice and what the fuck is this yellow poison looking shit!"
assbot: Logged on 11-07-2015 06:06:44; Naphex: 04:14 <+hanbot> people are going to be sucked into convenience > quality (sanity) so long as they can't appreciate what quality is.
i had a visitor in romania who had never seen good egg yolks, thought they were "suspicious <- Happens pretty often
gernika: Close to there.
I'm more on the peninsula.
gernika:
I attended a lisp meetup in SV today at which someone presented their altcoin which happened to be written in CL. This altcoin exists apparently because bitcoin too "too slow."
☟︎ phf: gabriel_laddel: oh you're right,
i'm behind on my readin'
phf: gabriel_laddel:
i'm not sure what you're trying to say
trinque: this
I think hits the problem of "the sale wants their particular problem solved head on" vs "to be a successful software business
I must generalize" squarely
trinque: this is every goddamn application
I've ever sold
trinque:
I'm not personally out to revolutionize computing by focusing all my time on that as such
trinque: so to the extent that you put a better tool in my hands to do that,
I'll only be appreciative.
trinque:
I model people's businesses using a database
trinque: so, here's what
I do in real life, right?
gabriel_laddel:
I mean that someone should have paid for you to write CL, preferable packaging it up as an unchanging distro supporting only a subset of hardware.
trinque: if you mean somebody should've kicked my ass ten years ago for not writing CL,
I agree.
