ben_vulpes: aha, i've only ever used the bar over the periodic part
BingoBoingo: Browsing various .edu domains for keys to submit I noticed there's a span from roughly 1999 to 2005-8 where DSA/Elgamal keys were way too popular
ascii_field: was what i wrote.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i tell you we might have to find a way to parallelize this, because as it is, it'll prolly be too slow.
danielpbarron: he said he'd pop in here later, although I suspect that one wasn't actually him (someone else clicking the custom url)
mircea_popescu: i kinda suspected it'll need a long time.
ben_vulpes: i halfway expected a philosophical tract on capitalization and blogs
mircea_popescu: seems better form ? i dunno.
mircea_popescu: reading old trilema articles ( http://trilema.com/2011/sa-belim-pula/ ) i'm suddenly illuminated : all the empowered feminist derps that bitch about how having to shave their cunt is wrong, novel and bla bla : how much smegma do they eat in the average week ?
lobbes: hmm, I think I get it; 'I experience something, therefore it exists.' Assumtion not really necessary for the experience
lobbes: but in terms of verifying events with own eyes, I do see that point. Not even possible in certain cases
lobbes: which I always sort of bought into. I can't verify any of you really exist
danielpbarron: i don't really give it much thought
lobbes: danielpbarron: you think it may have been an 'inside job' by usg? I have heard that pov from others, too
from_vice: Well it's been swell, good luck with the taking over the world with superior quips. Now where did I park my car??
danielpbarron: well i'm pretty sure the towers existed. I saw them with my own eyes on a trip to NYC
danielpbarron: i question whether there were actually planes that hit the towers
from_vice: You sure this isn't a 911 truthers' forum? I have some thermite to sell
from_vice: Oh I see, you are from the evil overlord master race, all makes sense now
nubbins`: i'm from the internet
mircea_popescu: and if i take to the streets of marakesh, there's about one in three chance random street urchin will suck my cock hoping for a hundred. what of it.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm reporting.
danielpbarron: i had to change my other links to bit (dot) ly things because of it
danielpbarron: whoops did i just eRape someone?
from_vice: I linked into here via the vice article link provided in the comments by someone--I feel a bit violated
mircea_popescu: nubbins` frankly i'm moderately surprised anyone even reads vice at all. readership >= 1 is already above par.
danielpbarron: i pasted the webchat link in the vice article comments because their stupid javascript loads and renders the whole chat room on their article page. LOL
from_vice: Can I find God here?
from_vice: Where am I?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i should show you how i clean screens and equipment here
asciilifeform: i suspect that the seed problem is growing palpably dire
mircea_popescu: i am ever thankful to the idiots that do very idiotic things. like that vice article. like this tipping of hand.
mircea_popescu: "What I don't see from you yet is a *specific and credible plan* that fits
mircea_popescu: I disagree. When the money supply eventually dwindles I doubt it will be fee pressure that funds mining
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i think you misread or misunderstood something. come again ?
mircea_popescu: I'm afraid I have come to disagree.
mircea_popescu: "I observed to Wladimir and Gavin in
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-05-2015#1123796 << i want everything set in stone. i guess that makes me a true stoner. ☝︎
jurov: ^ i suggest using these phrases to qntra editors
davout: danielpbarron: ok i see, that makes lots of sense
davout: aha, not sure i ever actually *read* that spec, is it trilema'd?
davout: oh and also there was something else, maybe asciilifeform can help with that, probably very noobish question, but i have nfi how to setup the pogo so that i'm able to put the compiled kernel on it without needing it to use tftp to load it on each boot
davout: danielpbarron: i think that what i'll do is slightly change the buildroot config to be able to "busybox mkfs"
danielpbarron: the one with a hard drive that i have running bitcoind is the one i put ArchLinux on
danielpbarron: oh, i see what you're saying.

chatquack: Where the funk is BingoBoingo? I blame him for this useless banter.
chatquack: I have a hard time sleeping without fan noise :\
chatquack: ya, i was wondering if a ^c was even worth anything half a second after hitting enter
chatquack: Crazy bitch from Archer, whom I love dearly; http://archer.wikia.com/wiki/Cheryl_Tunt
decimation: I've got mixed feelings about this book, but it does talk about the decline in american managerial culture
mircea_popescu: yup. i am well aware.
mircea_popescu: i kinda doubt i will ever again buy new hardware.
mircea_popescu: so why do i care what ubuntu does ? i got the 10.04 burned. it's mine. forgetaboutit!
mircea_popescu: this is unlikely to EVER change. i tried to move it to gentoo but the attempt burned, toppled and sunk into the swamp. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: for instance : ubuntu sucks ass, especially the new versions, and the early ones. nevertheless, i use 10.04 as an easement / windows halfway house for all sorts of people.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that it makes any difference, really. if one is using python (or anything else) correctly, they pick something, and stick with it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't get it. if the language was good, who cares about a fork ? it can be ignored like gavincoin, or burned to the ground at that. if the language sucked, then well... ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, i don't get the following sort of nonsense : "One solution is to fork Python 2.7, and continue developing the language, adding features in a backwards compatible way so large, unportable (due to financial constraints) Python 2 applications can continue to evolve and improve and bring value to the people and companies that invested so much time developing them. "
decimation: I'll hand it to him, the guy is verbose
decimation: http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html < "Why wasn’t I consulted? Technically, even the core developers weren’t consulted: Python 3 happened because the creator of the language, Guido van Rossum, wanted it to happen, and Google paid for him to devote half of his working hours to leading the development effort."
ben_vulpes: i have two s.nsa reports up on my screen right now
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you read the report i published on this ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu and others interested in entropic information: what stats about generated entropy are useful? if i need to shoop my entropy over to gentoo i can, but if that's not necessary (for dieharder tests) i'd like to avoid it
mircea_popescu: "“They want everything for nothing. They wouldn’t go for five seconds without being paid. And they’ll bitch about how much they’re paid, and want more. I should do a freebie for Warner Brothers? What, is Warner Brothers out with an eye patch and a tin cup on the street? Fuck, no."
assbot: Things I'm working on | Sealed Abstract ... ( http://bit.ly/1JsB1ui )
mircea_popescu: http://sealedabstract.com/things-im-working-on/ << reading through this list was an adventure. first (caffeine bit, autogenerated code subnode) i suspected the guy was simply reiserfs insane. by the time i got to zynga...
mircea_popescu: nobody has time to read specialty text with beginner's eyes, wonderments and speed, with care and dedication and "i wonder what the author meant" every word. it's not fiction, it's not a novel, its science, you read ten thousand pages a year minimum.
mircea_popescu: the important bit for this convo being "nimeni nu are timp sa citeasca textele de specialitate cu ochi, uimiri si viteza de incepator, cu atentie si migala si "oare ce-a vrut sa spuna autorul" la fiecare cuvant. Nu-i fictiune, nu-i roman, e text stiintific, si se citesc cate zece mii de pagini pe an minim. Pentru a sustine eficienta muncii in stiinta se folosesc anumite cuvinte si structuri fixe ale caror sensuri se de
decimation: yes, but I thought that you couldn't model language in this way
decimation: I submit a human doing anything that involves any degree of thought at a rate of greater than 10 per second is neigh impossible
assbot: Logged on 30-04-2015 03:49:15; mircea_popescu: "I have typed an average of 21.3 keystrokes per second" eh gtfo.
decimation: I misremembered my grandfather's saying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_and_ring
decimation: I donno, he just told me that's what I should remember for the hot, power, + side
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, judging by how using things made by other people is going, i guess bitcoin will be its own language before this dustball settles.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes getting that shit to compile is god's work. i imagine alf's set is untouched since 1993... l0l:
danielpbarron: i'm more interested in the site reporting it; who is this mike1337?
mircea_popescu: but by "god's work" i mean, a very good thing to do.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i didn't run it, either.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes getting that shit to compile is god's work. i imagine alf's set is untouched since 1993 and probably the last tiem anyone actually compiled it was back when paris hilton was still a virgin
ben_vulpes: i'm just confirming!
ben_vulpes: i just want to make sure my protocol's sound
ben_vulpes: well hey i could have been asking about from right to left
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 16:43:40; mircea_popescu: "o no, that's what i had really meant to do!11"
decimation: I wonder if guido has given up on python 3 yet
danielpbarron: without me, it is useless; without it, I am useless.
danielpbarron: "My awesome and super-collectible Romy kit included kick-ass furniture, like this gas tube with "Mihaela" on it and 12 notches. I don't get it, Mihaela is a Romanian female name and the guy only scored 12 of them."
asciilifeform: i am referring to the disease where the need for the remaining pieces is not perceived at all - or, if perceived, sufferer is content to crib from somewhere else while pretending he did not include them at all
mircea_popescu: i thought it was the new jersey approach ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: We talked about the idea, but I dunno if we got to instructions
asciilifeform: i only know recipe 'wait for corpse to float by'
mircea_popescu: by which i mean, i dun think it needed much more than tv stations, ipads, the usual stuff.
mircea_popescu: hehe. so yeah, referendum. i dun think it had to be manipulated much.
asciilifeform: considering that i regard ww2 as still on - hard to 'under.'
mircea_popescu: governments routinely steal 20 years' worth of labour offa people, i don't recall the protests.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1123059 << some, yeah, but i dun has teh time these days ;/ ☝︎
asciilifeform: i got a snapshot btw
mike_c: i've got a public key
