mircea_popescu: funny shit, the ultra-pantsuit actually agree with the republic, usg worst thing to come out of fuhrerbunker.
asciilifeform: ( orig. usg turd at https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4081446/Reality-Winner-Order-RE-Release-From-Custody.pdf ftr. )
asciilifeform: 'While Defendant has surrendered her passport and cannot obtain another one in her own name, this obstacle provides little assurance given her self-described desire to "burn the White house down" and "[find somewhere in Kurdistan to live ... or Nepal."'
asciilifeform: otted against the United States Government. Gov't Ex. 11. On the same day, Defendant wrote her sister she hated America. When her sister responded with incredulity, Defendant proclaimed again she hated America and explained she feels this way because America is "literally the worst thing to happen to the planet."'
asciilifeform: '"hates" America, misused a top-secret computer during her Air Force career, admires Edward Snowden and Julian Assange... ...one need look no further than Defendant's own writings to surmise that she hates the United States and has plotted against the government. On February 25, 2017, during training for her new NSA job, Defendant wrote her sister that she would fail a polygraph because of questions conceming whether she had ever pl
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other news -- girl goes shopping, comes back with pineapple SO FRAGRANT that it STANK UP THE ONIONS.
mircea_popescu: "honey, here's the guys you have to fuck to get the part" "could they call some friends ?"
mircea_popescu: of the minority qualified, there's readily distinguished three categories : the utter imbeciles a la maria schneider, sewing up their togas "for modesty!!!" ; the tolerant girlies who put up with the couch but no more ; and finally gia -- the chicks the fucking couch itself can't keep up with.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to gia : women, in the http://trilema.com/2016/portrait-of-an-adult-woman/ adult woman sense, have some things to do in this world. like say http://trilema.com/2014/holy-shit-technical-analysis-is-real/#footnote_0_57849 ; these aren't jobs that can be done by non-women, and when they try the results are as sad as shakespearian theatre (not the text, the actual montage).
mircea_popescu: it is VERY unlikely to have any kind of symmetry involved there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the classic http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22learn%22+%22unlearn%22
asciilifeform: pet : 'problem with dysgenics hypothesis is that the pertinent change is much too slow' ' asciilifeform : 'entirely possible that descent and climb are wholly asymmetric -- just like process of falling from a plane is quite unlike take-off; 1 or 2 generations of supernumerary children failing to die, possibly can wreck the pool'
mircea_popescu: died of fucking. which is a much better way to go than the dying of boredom, a la adriana ( http://trilema.com/2016/io-la-conoscevo-bene/#comment-118515 ).
mircea_popescu: and speaking of aids-en : isn't it a pity nobody's yet made a film out of gia carangi's life ? that chick was ACTUALLY a model, in the most proper of senses. ☟︎
asciilifeform: reminds me, asciilifeform had interesting convo with pet re the dysgenics thread
mircea_popescu: but this is the deep reason why "death from stressor - ban stressor" is not adequate a response. no, let them die. ban the dieing if you must.
mircea_popescu: stopping smoking doesn't reduce cancer, because the sort of shameful shitsacks that GET cancer will get it, whether from smoking or not. if not from smoking -- they'll find a different stressor. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: your cat isn't giving you toxoplasmosis even if asimov's cat gave it to him is because you don't get toxoplasmosis, not because it doesn't have it to give ; this is exactly the link to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-25#1716989 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the difference between the human rotting alive and the human not rotting alive is the first human's aquired immune deficiency syndrome, NOT the involved protozoans.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the day git is replaced by v and us presidency appointments are implemented as a !! function, the ~same flies will be laying the ~same eggs on this new meat, equally like on the old. at least as far as they're concerned.
asciilifeform: if we waited for something, and paid more, it would still stop working in six months and we’d have to buy something new.' etc
asciilifeform: 'It is to the benefit of software companies and programmers to claim that software as we know it is the state of nature. They can do stupid things, things we know will result in software vulnerabilities, and they suffer no consequences because people don’t know that software could be well-written. Often this ignorance includes developers themselves. We’ve also been conditioned to believe that software rots as fast as fruit. That
mircea_popescu: intellectual dominance, it's a thing.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, not only trilema gets plagiarized... https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/09/14/software-is-a-long-con ( https://archive.is/TYEEm ) happily peddles http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1719 + http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1299 with serialnumberfiledoff
asciilifeform: ( if it is not obvious how to turn a hasher into a ciphrator, and vice-versa, i will describe if asked )
asciilifeform: ( constant-spacetime-able, and not in any particular way known to be weaker than the other voodoos, and you already ~have~, presumably, a keccak )
asciilifeform: ( because otherwise you are making entirely new voodootron from scratch, will need test sets, etc )
mircea_popescu: well, teh discussion was productive, we shall conduct some investigative footwork.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform implementation complexity ; computing resources in that order.
mircea_popescu: ie, "if you want to carry ton of earth i can show you how to do so with buckets" yes ty, but ideally do so with ton-sized bucket.
mircea_popescu: the idea is for it to be cheap. construction atop it is not the best solution.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu , diana_coman , & co want to use 'serpent', i can make a pick-your-own-bitness-via-shamiring twist on above snippet. but prolly not until after i come back from voyage
mircea_popescu: i can certainly see that argument.
asciilifeform: it isn't even that asciilifeform is particularly enamoured of 'serpent', but does believe that any cipher that cannot be implemented in the style shown in the paste, is ipso facto braindamaged beyond repair
mircea_popescu was a great fan of tiger hash back in the day.
asciilifeform: iirc it is the one in final draft ( submitted to braindamage competition ).
mircea_popescu: (as per customary and recently discussed with keccak, the actual item and the item submitted to the usg braindamage competition differ)
mircea_popescu: is this ada thing s-0 or s-1 ?
asciilifeform: ( could just as well break tomorrow as aes et al could, voodoo is voodoo )
asciilifeform: and not similar in design to des
asciilifeform: afaik no known breaks to date
mircea_popescu: hm, wait, isn't this the item that was similarily-vulnerable to des ?
asciilifeform: fwiw there is a quite short ada serpent existing, passes the test set ( and branch-free ). ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not going to burden the minigame dev with implementing two of these nosnenses in the first pass.
asciilifeform: uses tables/s-boxes
asciilifeform: it's quite similar to aes tho
mircea_popescu: and approved by the euros. and put in during 2008 by the ustards, then taken back out recently "for lack of interest" ie nsa pressure.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, but developed by teh japanese.
asciilifeform: incidentally it is very simple to use multiple blockciphers and get guaranteed best-of ( asciilifeform described scheme in old thread )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all blockciphers are pseudoscientific. the only differences you can take to the bank, is that camellia was approved by nato bureaucrats, serpent was not; and the fact that serpent runs in constant time ( branch-free ).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform any proposal on a method to compare camellia and serpent meaningfully ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 17:48 asciilifeform: BUT it is in several ways, apparent to the naked eye, less retarded than aes
mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ? ☟︎
mod6: i lul'd at your encounter with a "martial arts expert" in The Mechanic.
mod6: good! just catching up on the log here.
shinohai: Not bad here, working on adding znc service for those that might be interested.
mircea_popescu: he inelastic demand by deliberately (and falsely) elasticizing their demand ; or else they attack the high fixed costs.
mircea_popescu: and this is evident both in how people dissolve the kolhoz once it becomes "politically" untenable (bullshit. there's no such thing as politics exactly like there's no such thing as "her feelings". she got fuicked because she got drunk, she got drunk because she was in the bar, and she went to the bar to get herself drunk to get herself fucked. politics is the "why" and economics is the "what she did".) : either they attack t
mircea_popescu: but you can't have some bloodwork you didn't need today because they had some extra capacity, nor can you not have a yellow fever shot when needed because they'll have some next week. by next week their value is 0.
mircea_popescu: the demand is, as they say, very inelastic. if it comes to fucking, you can fuck whatever you catch : a lithe blonde today, a nothing tomorrow, a turkish hipped brunette next week. when it comes to eatring, you can eat three plums today even if you felt like two, so as not to throw one out, and you can make do with a chicken tomorrow, even if you wanted a slice of beef.
mircea_popescu: because of the significant fixed costs and the very sharply limited scalability.
mircea_popescu: myeah. living space, be it of the housing kind, or of the hosting kind, or of the hospital kind, or of all other kinds can only ever be operated as a kolhoz.
asciilifeform: ( the sad thing re nfs co, is that it is in fact a kolhoz, quite like amazon's and the rest, but more ancient and built by actual men, vs 'millenial' scum, and so it actually ~works~, and delivers on the promise -- you don't own your hdd, BUT you never have to go down from a dead hdd; you own no ip; BUT no ddos; etc. it however IS STILL A KOLHOZ , with the complacency and inevitable day of doom that comes with this. ) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's becoming difficult to go by it, the warak arish / baba ganoush / cardamom coffee exert a discernible pull.
mircea_popescu: in other news, did i mention the splendid lebanese restaurant here ?
asciilifeform: i have nfi. but 'fireproof house' is nice even if people only very rarely try to burn your house.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun recall thewhet ever beinbg ddosed.
mircea_popescu: if they could figure this ancient trilema all on their own, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY CAN END UP GROKING EVENTUALLY!!!11
mircea_popescu: "hurr durr, so-and-so is traditionally a democratic stronghold in the very limited sense that people there are willing to spend an hour on a sunday supporting democrats if it's not raining, and if the support is limited to stamping a piece of paper once. and if it's not gonna happen more often than once every few years at the most."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo heh they're finally starting to figure out that there's a fucking difference between painting a state blue in the sense that 300 more people could be arsed to answer the phone out of a population of 5mn is VERY DIFFERENT from turning a state red in the sense that you've got ten k people there ready to shoot.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have to go on ?
asciilifeform: and neither of these is a bug, or will ever be fixed, nfs co’s. ddosproofing relies on the dynamic ip shenanigans ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 04:47 hanbot: asciilifeform yeah thewhet.net is X_X atm. i'm futzing around with nfs to see if i can finagle a mp-wp-cum-import with them.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-18#1726087 << mp’s wp worx on nfsco BUT not the comments spamfilter ( it relies on static ip ). nfsco is also incompatible with mp-style pill against dnsism ( 1980s hand-curated /etc/hosts ), see also http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1654113 thread ☝︎☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: And having escaped one hole, from deep in the mines of another: "This poll scared me more than just about any other I have seen in the past months. If Trump can turn his base against the NFL, then what can’t he get them to do?" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in other "romanian is 100% about sexual innuendo and nobody can ever hope to translate trilema.ro" exercises, ttp://trilema.com/2011/chec-cu-tite/
mircea_popescu: "nevermind what ~I~'m doing with a machine gun in school. i'm fucking curious what dad's gonna do with a violin at the congress."
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : on the day of the democratic national congress, bula paddock in school, during music class. the teacher is "kids, prepare your instruments". bula paddock opens his violin case and closes it back quickly. the teacher notices, comes over, opens the case and finds a machine gun.
hanbot: asciilifeform yeah thewhet.net is X_X atm. i'm futzing around with nfs to see if i can finagle a mp-wp-cum-import with them. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: If only the wikipedos could be banished to a world where snakes are wide instead of long
BingoBoingo: "A quick consultation with Satan established that Our Dark Lord and Master doesn't like her much at all. Satan doesn't like furries even though Satan is, himself, a yiffing furry with a Goatlord fursona - Satan is allowed to be a hypocrite because he is Satan." << Not bad, but #trilema sorta raises the bar above this. Oh to go back to binge reading ED 2009
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/the-mechanic-2/ << Trilema - The Mechanic
asciilifeform: ( do we still say 'died' when a zombie goes back to his grave..? )
asciilifeform: oh hm, finally dead as of today.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell hanbot http://thewhet.net appears to be down -- is it in same brother's grave as dulap ?
asciilifeform: in blasts from the even moar distant past, https://archive.is/SIBFA << yet another diddled konsoomer ciphertron from 1980s
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-04-29#650435 << in other blasts from teh past. ☝︎
davout: the akamai thing just didn't make much sense to me
mircea_popescu: pretty much the only thing that comes to mind is the now famous soviet самокритика, and the significantly less famous but culturally much more important habiot of medieval tards to conduct "religious debates" with the jews, lose miserably, then claim "draw".
a111: Logged on 2017-10-17 18:55 mircea_popescu: davout trying to include you into republican affairs in the only apparently remaining opportunity, ie discussions of accounting reform.
mircea_popescu: Vcalist Klaus Meine explains that the band's penchant for controversial cover art stems from a desire "to go over the edge" and not "to offend some people or make the headlines [as] that would be stupid" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
mircea_popescu: whatever, minor band in the later days of a minor subculture.
asciilifeform: 'we regret our foray into being people, and promise to become compliant cockroaches forevermoar'
mircea_popescu: people really need to stop paying attention to old twat's "taste" and generally expectations.
mircea_popescu: "In a 2008 interview, Schenker added "We would never again do something like this".[11] The band's former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth notes that the cover art of the "old Scorpion albums" were "usually done by other people".[10] He has since expressed regret over the original album cover: Looking at that picture today makes me cringe. It was done in the worst possible taste. Back then I was too immature to see that." and bull
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they had a thing going in the 80s, most all of the slowly-irrelevantizing bands of "classic rock" put out pre-fuck chick covers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently that ancient picture of a whatever she was, 12 yo mostly naked resulted in some sort of turmoil.
mircea_popescu: also, teeny scorpions album covers are a problem now ?
mircea_popescu: so i've been for the past 15 minutes reading about the problems of poor people. jesus christ who even gives a twinkling fuck.
