diana_coman: BingoBoingo, " I would have liked has on into becoming a fuctional as a person in Montevideo " <- ??
trinque: or conversely, are rates expected to decrease as bootstrapping costs are recovered?
shinohai: "A battery-powered consumer FM radio is placed in a metallic can as a shield. The radio is placed in monaural mode, and the output taken across one of the earphones. An appropriate level for the sound card is slightly audible a foot or two away. " :)
mircea_popescu: "One aspect I have been studying, which nobody raised, is that we could find ourselves with a dynamic system, as the key that is generated will be used to program the key generator. This could be a builtin limit to my approach. I still have to think about it. On the other hand, if I could tune it for chaos..."
asciilifeform: just as sci.physics was for 'phree energy' and 'ditch j00-einsteinism' etc
mircea_popescu: he's not terrible as a writer.
mircea_popescu: it works a lot better as "substitute palace of graybeard santas" if you're say 5.
mircea_popescu: i never was, because i had met a collection of cvasi pms as a younger boy than that'd have come.
asciilifeform: 'which totally not same as a prng'
asciilifeform: upstack: the hilarity of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761777 is that it is provably equivalent to otp. but author appears to not have even heard of xor. ( to asciilifeform's anticredit, he as a boy knew of xor, and still came up with exact same rubbish ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ahaha did we do dood's "poetry" ie, as he himself confesses, "i was bored and horny in the army -- so here, cummings sheets" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 16:18 mircea_popescu: (as it happens here -- the year being 1991 lubby was still a decade away, and fountain codes poorly understood, so a honest mind might very well have ended up predating lubby through the exercise of trying to make a decent answer for this particular idiot. which process is exactly why "universities" exist in the first place, and teaching all-but-inescapable for researchers : it turns out that answering the malformed questions
a111: 1 result for "as above so below", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=as%20above%20so%20below
asciilifeform: !#s as above so below
mircea_popescu: and i mean it quite specifically as strong as "if djb weren't a spook, and honest enough a man to look at the problem correctly, he would probably have had lubby before lubby did. certainky he was smart enough."
a111: Logged on 2016-02-10 14:21 mircea_popescu: 1998-11-23 Stefan Axelsson: "What is needed, is some other, resilient, long lasting, redundant third party storage of references, such as a library is for printed material today."
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761777 << asciilifeform confesses, he wrote one of these as a schoolboy. but never tried to sell as 'troo crypto' ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it goes directly to the ugly truth at the bottom of the alt-usg (referenced above as 'cryptographic komyoonity' but rms's goons too [recently i've been seeing pompous "explanations" as to how linux is not a thing, it's just gnu os that matters btw]) : pure socialism.
asciilifeform: which eliminates gsm , (as recently found) comcast, etc
mircea_popescu: holy shit irc.belwue.de also drops conns as "unauthorized"
mircea_popescu: this is what i introduce as "the mmorpg fallacy" to the slavegirls. it's true that in mmorpgs some obscure vilage in the fucking mountains has the BEST fucking weapons + plasma armor and whatnot while the imperial capital somehow makes do with cotton rags and sharpened sticks to kill the rats.
mircea_popescu: the "society" as a usg captive item, that thing ? the ghetto jewry of 2017, about to make pretty ash piles by 2040 ?
BingoBoingo: And as the year closes out the problem of the chinches de cama appears to have been remedied through my secret campaign of chemical warfare
BingoBoingo: Also the hostel staff have taken to recommending me as a tour guide/travel buddy to single brasileras traveling alone
mircea_popescu: "whereupon, with the pain that I can only compare to that of a forcibly extracted illusion, I discovered that the bearded essayist had done just what schoolchildren do the world over, namely, repeated Hegel's argument paraphrastically, just as if it had been the proof of a Euclidean theorem or the tale of a big bad wolf called Sein."
mircea_popescu: there's that guy that saw ipad as cutting board, his fucking ipad, can do as he please.
mircea_popescu: you can see microscope as hammer, as long as you own it.
mircea_popescu: well what you see things as is entirely your priviledge no ?
zineKing: I bought in at 2011, I still see xbt specifically as a currenct that is just not feasible to be rolled out globally, due to the excruciatingly slow speed and the high fees.
zineKing: I am assuming, correctly or not, that at least one crypto will take the place as a world currency sooner or later, wrong or not
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is inescapably and permanently the definitive word on linguistic order, which includes all monetary considerations as a minor point.
asciilifeform: bus is a poverty artifact. and i will add that , most hilariously, recent items like pcie are actually implemented as ports, physically! but on the idjit x86 end EMULATE behaviour of bus !!
mircea_popescu: yeah. you were all "well, sorry it's broken" last month or w/e, but realise -- back when it was written it was ahead of the v as a concept. that it meanwhile become broken is merely because the tide raised ; but the tide raised because, in no small part, it existed.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 you realise this, your original v actually worked out in practice as major pivot improving v significantly from notion to item. << thanks. it's been great to see it come to life. it's a work in progress :]
asciilifeform: for so long as buying their iron -- playing with them.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you realise this, your original v actually worked out in practice as major pivot improving v significantly from notion to item.
mircea_popescu is looking forward to mod6 putting some of these into hardware, because while he's very cute as he gets all flustered from repeated failure, the whole process is nevertheless immensely useful & productive.
mircea_popescu: "very strict" : if i can't lean on them to make a proper genesis, also just as good as not existing
trinque: that's not a thing so much as a "yes you could be a human build system"
asciilifeform: as substrate.
asciilifeform: being as python is , what, 1M loc ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: some packages are known and inescapable arse-mouth-systems in this sense - e.g. gnat, as discussed on several occasions
asciilifeform: it's the gsm carriers who have , as a rule, port fascism
mircea_popescu: being large, self centered and insensate, like a really annoying fat older woman ? vaca. (cow). but as a superlative, "vaca cu cabina", ie, cow with a booth.
mircea_popescu: for instance : to be utterly clueless, entirely unprepared, ineffectual and worthless -- such as for an exam of some kind, "a fi tufa", ie, "being a bush".
mircea_popescu: to me it always read as equiv of ro znopi
asciilifeform: btw бНОПНЯ has the same magical power as îțâșă
mircea_popescu: so heure would be put as ora but ceas as ... ceas.
asciilifeform: aaa as in 'them peons dun count for half a shit'
mircea_popescu: what is in principle acceptable as a proof that division works ?
ben_vulpes: idem versionstring as asciilifeform mentioned
ben_vulpes: jawbone2: yes, if you are so unlucky as to only have access to a dynamic ip, you must reboot your node with a new ip in myip lest ye 'eat' and now 'plough'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if yer ip moves, yer node becomes unconnectable-to ( and will merrily carry on broadcasting old ip to others as a seed)
ben_vulpes: lending voice not yet so fraught as to be a formal introduction
shinohai: From now on, I shall only !!up if I have rated you and the sum of 0.001 as introductory fee is paid to my deedbot coffers. ( trinque/foundation taxes may apply )
asciilifeform: in other googlolz, 'In response to user reports, we have disabled some features, such as comments, sharing, and suggested videos, because this video contains content that may be inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.'

pete_dushenski: just read about the 5451-piece richard mille "jura" clock in quebec city, as it happens, and i'll definitely be checking it out next time i'm there. apparently the thing took 6 years to build, which isn't so hard to believe when you see that incorporates a perpetual calendar (which knows leap years from non-leap years, unlike an annual calendar), rementoire d'egalite (for improving accuracy), and equation of
mircea_popescu: nor is there such a thing as triple bypass while running a marathon
asciilifeform: not as if the serial dongle gives a fuck
mircea_popescu: i can understand the fascination with "this orrery has been in clickety-clacking continuously since 1625", but let's point out that it relies on a) THIS orrery, as opposed to "constantly changing randomly pile of cogs" and b) it's a discrete mechanism, like the human heart. it takes a break every beat. essentially the problem has been hidden, by these, not resolved.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 19:35 phf: lisps deal with freshly-pressed instances as well as anything else: by doing a clean restart. my point is not lisps, my point is that current solution assumes lack of state and delegates the problem to a non-v-tronic build system
mircea_popescu: is the entirety of this fiddling you going "i'm curious how this thing could work/break at the edges?" or is it rather "i wonder how i could run a v tree as an infrastructure node without reboots" ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760873 << you know it's compatible, compatibility, no such thing as compatable. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing wrong with summary as is, so it'll change, still better an idea than a blank.
asciilifeform: in other idiocies, 'you are rightly observing that svg doesn't support word-wrapping directly. however, you might benefit from foreignObject elements serving as a wrapper for xhtml fragments where word-wrapping is available.' ☟︎
phf: lisps deal with freshly-pressed instances as well as anything else: by doing a clean restart. my point is not lisps, my point is that current solution assumes lack of state and delegates the problem to a non-v-tronic build system ☟︎
phf: sat as in satisfiability problem
asciilifeform: as in n-sat ?!
asciilifeform: i expect there'll be plenty of rubbish in the genesis. as there was in trb.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in other recent 'to allcomers' lulz , https://archive.is/3OTat >> '...n the Tesla world as a Model S owner built a cryptocurrency mining rig in his electric car... The idea was suggested in order to use the free access to electricity with the Supercharger network. Technically, if someone is able to draw power from the Tesla to power those mining systems... '
asciilifeform: about as well as i read ro
BingoBoingo: The ordering is more one of prioritizing. No need to stop. At any number of languages, but the focus can shift. As time makes the spanish more comfortable, Portuguese is a natural next point of focus.
mircea_popescu: "maybe if i sit really still i cease to be ? no ? how about if i also close eyes ? still ? plug ears as well, how about then ???"

a111: Logged on 2017-03-02 18:10 asciilifeform: a 'secure prng' is fundamentally THE SAME animal as the 'secure hash' and the 'secure blockcipher'.
asciilifeform: more specifically, you can use it as cipher without modification and without suffering immediate kindermat
mircea_popescu: just as magic as anything else.
mircea_popescu: here, might as well : in case anyone needs magic numbers, for lottery or w/e, you can just use ( 0 36 3 41 18) ( 1 44 10 45 2) (62 6 43 15 61) (28 55 25 21 56) (27 20 39 8 14

asciilifeform: afaik all of the routines as they stand nao, will work on nontraditional bitnesses of bytes and bytenesses of words
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nibble was a HALF BYTE! and a byte was REGISTER WIDTH. so no, it wasn't customarily 4, it was customarily half of 8 for as long as registers were 8. nibble today should be 32 bits.

trinque: I admit to having wanted as little irc autism in my head as would make the thing go.
asciilifeform: minimal pointerism, indirectism as a whole.
asciilifeform: there is such a thing as maliciously-ugly c. i.e. what koch et al write.
asciilifeform: d00d (stephenson) 'got it'. and as i understand it was his 'last hurrah', he went to shit soon after.
