mircea_popescu: chiefly because that game doesn't exist, in
a number of wayus.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem the gist of what i'm saying is that while foundation publishing the best code possible is
a very useful and very worthy thing, you do not have game theoretic reasons to expect the things you were claiming to ewxpect
mircea_popescu: this isn't
a field where such
a thing as sop may be
a defined symbol.
mircea_popescu: it's
a shitty game plan, but then again there's women aspiring to be singers, so.
mircea_popescu: what the current outsider schmucks (on #bitcoin-dev and etc) hope to achieve with their time is, release enough code that nobody* uses to give the impression they know their shit, so they can one day maybe join the actual miners as
a junior analyst, and until then survive on conference rubber chicken.
mircea_popescu: there's
a revenue model in place, and traditional software paradigms plainly do not matter.
mircea_popescu: you know, spend three hours mining
a spv verified chain because they just don't give
a fuck.
mod6: ascii_modem: qq about stator build script: I was taking
a closer look at this and it seems that your version removes 'no-shared' from the openssl configuration parameters and replaces it with 'threads'. Any main reason here? I thought we needed 'no-shared'? Just curious since your script seems to work well.
mircea_popescu: i'm
a miner, i can't think. i run some random derp pool, i couldn't care less about you.
mircea_popescu: i'm
a miner, i can think. i run my own nodes, i run my own pool, i couldn't care less about you.
ascii_modem: mod6 et at: i've
a hypothesis: if we had parallel sig verification, miners would have
a strong game-theoretic immediate incentive to seek out & use therealbitcoin nodes
punkman: ...and derps at Brussels still can't make
a decision, council meeting canceled.
punkman: El Chapo "slipped out of the prison through
a rectangular passage in the shower area of his cell that led to
a nearly mile-long tunnel running underneath the prison"
punkman: gernika: why even have
a blockchain in that thing
mircea_popescu: "Tokyo police are investigating whether
a man who cooked his own severed genitals and served them to five paying diners committed
a crime, the force said Tuesday."
ascii_modem: just that being
a live hero beats the other kind
mircea_popescu: all this suicide "indicting" has
a single source : "you owe us"
mircea_popescu: the one that'd never have amounted to
a hill of beans until some cop shot him ?
ascii_modem: point was, the famous theorem, has
a corollary:
ascii_modem: mircea_popescu: to
a point. what does pirannha bath teach?
mircea_popescu: how you say this in russian ? ziditor, literally, building, but it's only used in that form in
a churchly context, "building into christ"
mircea_popescu: the whores i've known in my lyf taught me to not take
a man's own word on that score.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem here - to make
a name you need
a concept, and the concept's only circumscribed enough when there's enough errors on the table.
mircea_popescu: it is that by the time the mistakes got
a name, the mistakes are by now too numerous to allow victory anymore.
mircea_popescu: by the time "systemd" is
a word, usg-as-nsa is no longer.
mircea_popescu: by the time we have "politically correct" as
a concept, us liberalism is dead.
mircea_popescu: punkman if nothing else, i have
a very convenient rally point.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem only in your alt-world where meta-win is
a win and meta-nsa
a thing.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem understand that it doesn't matter what the loser of
a contest cares about.
ascii_modem: usg hasnt given
a fuk re conquest in the normal sense of the word since war with spain.
decimation: "The “libapache2-mod-gnutls” package is especially concerning; this is
a key glue mechanism between Apache and GnuTLS, but it seems to be minimally maintained. The others are libraries for processing various formats (images, compression, and XML) that are the basis for many other functions that do not seem to be well maintained. "
mircea_popescu: exactly how "war on terror" was
a disaster for them. "oh we conquered iraq". "you won't be able to hold it"

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: no fucking way ? you actually inputting text on
a tablet ?!
ascii_modem: 'will' means something very peculiar to
a muppet
mircea_popescu: i mean gimme
a break, even junk like sr was supposedly doing more damage than this.
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of ANY stock option deal that is not
a scam outside of mpex to date.
decimation: where is
a bright young engineer going to work?
decimation: It's
a real problem for young people in the us though
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.
mircea_popescu: that's
a major point incidentally. we'll have to make our own crypto oscars, this usg situation is untenable
ascii_modem: 2) just about 'anyone who's anyone' in that entire subdiscipline is
a usg career
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?
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:57:37; mircea_popescu: blowfish has successfully resisted analysis and was thoroughly abandoned. because aes "won
a competition" ?
ben_vulpes: it's fine tho i'll just buy
a little more rsi :P
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?
mircea_popescu: at the time, as
a game maker, it was "directx or go home"
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: look, you dun have to be
a fan to admit it looked bleak in 2002.
trinque: but also hell, I like wearing
a good suit (and I'm sure by better standards I've never worn one)
trinque: cazalla: yeah, specifically to the chick; she's in this garb that evokes
a certain narrative, suddenly perked as though immediately at home in that context
cazalla: or
a fist bump and they go their seperate ways
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.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: put
a woman naked on
a horse, it'll tell you all you need to know about the "empowerment of feminism" and whatnot.
cazalla: not that i enjoy
a slouch, just not something i've considered before either
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk yes, but that's both trivial to fix and in practice long fixed (twofish, threefish, etc). it is in point of fact
a VERY promising cypher branch, mostly on the account of its extremely complex schedule
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 :)
punkman: that's
a very greek word actually
decimation: yeah that seems like
a reasonable objection
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.
mircea_popescu: blowfish has successfully resisted analysis and was thoroughly abandoned. because aes "won
a competition" ?
☟︎ 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'?
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.
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.
assbot: Logged on 11-07-2015 22:43:42; gabriel_laddel: For example, say that you find the existence of both elt & nth to be stupid. write
a (meta)program that walks an arbitrary CL program and fixes all elt's to nths. Let everyone know that it's deprecated, and that they can run this program on their code to update it to CL 1.2 or whatever.
phillipsjk: assbot says: "You need
a better WoT rating for self-up. (level 2 with assbot >0)"
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.
