asciilifeform: i find it difficult to imagine that mircea_popescu would not have known this. ergo on 'day x' he believed that he was connected directly to a mine.

asciilifeform: so in other 'news', somewhere b/w 1/3 to 1/2 of ~all~ public nodez are ~admitted~ sybils at this point.

asciilifeform: whatever floatsyerboat

asciilifeform: adlai: aha, huffman

asciilifeform: i can't be the only one who takes in the log at least half the time from the logtron

asciilifeform: so long as the latter doesn't interfere with the log browser's mechanisms re arrows

asciilifeform: imho it would be optimal for the thing to spew old-style assbot spew, aha

asciilifeform: adlai: click the arrow

asciilifeform: adlai: e.g., ^ == http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-19#1436476 ☝︎

asciilifeform: adlai: there is a proper log now

asciilifeform: apparently!

asciilifeform: this is not a sin per se but makes it difficult to communicate

asciilifeform: adlai is also about lsd ?

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2013/the-danger-of-homebrew-crypto

asciilifeform: where was it

asciilifeform: srsly this is begging for mircea_popescu's article

asciilifeform: adlai: a few msec

asciilifeform: second week's - same, with 'rotors'

asciilifeform: adlai: caesar cryptoanalysis on arbitrary symbol set is ~literally~ first week's homework at any half-decent school

asciilifeform: (by author of the 'random walk in ada' article.)

asciilifeform: in other not-quite-news, http://ideone.com/a1ky4l << ada mandelbrot generator, safely threaded, ~170 lines.

asciilifeform: simple enough concept.

asciilifeform: unless you're actually mathematicizing, you prolly don't need a b00k re dfa...

asciilifeform: http://www.jeanmariechauvet.com/images/ref_automata.jpg

asciilifeform: get the h&u with the hot chick on cover!111

asciilifeform: np.

asciilifeform: or papadimitreou

asciilifeform: hopcroft & ullman ?

asciilifeform: try the actual escaped hex

asciilifeform: (who wants these slavez?)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-05#1446562 << surely you meant : sold for ~biodiesel~ ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-05#1446423 << i read it as 'here be dragonz' re the continuing but no longer tmsrtronic old logz ☝︎

asciilifeform: it dun count as a lineend

asciilifeform: you'll have to explicitly spell out the cr lf heathenry tho

asciilifeform: sure, awk, l0l

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'dos2unix'

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-05#1446421 << clearly my simpopescu needs wurk!111 ☝︎

asciilifeform: (def of epsilon)

asciilifeform: y'know, back in the good ol' dayz

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-05#1446433 << that was ~cauchy~ ☝︎

asciilifeform revvs up motorsigh

asciilifeform: irssi rocks

asciilifeform: http://fr.anco.is/2016/bitbet-receivership-second-progress-report#comment-8398

asciilifeform: speaking of bbet,

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: jurov's

asciilifeform: implication here, if i understand, is that mining as we know it is a work of fiat sovereigns

asciilifeform: but of what interest is my guess.

asciilifeform: if i had to guess, from my grossly inadequate picture, why he did it, why not the simple hypothesis - buy it back while it is mega-cheap

asciilifeform: i have no problem with this, nowhere did he promise a mega-explanation for everything he does, srsly

asciilifeform: mp's productions are so opaque that i cannot even conjecture about the mechanics, which is, i suppose, precisely how he likes it.

asciilifeform: jurov: i have deeply nfi

asciilifeform: (or from trb at any rate, iirc mod6 had this in his original diagrammator)

asciilifeform: https://github.com/blog/2144-gpg-signature-verification << shithub cribs from phf !

asciilifeform: ^ illustrated ! ^

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-28 << win

asciilifeform: it is how mircea_popescu came to subj

asciilifeform: i recall this

asciilifeform would like to know who imagined that any of these folks paid tax !

asciilifeform: 'The Panama secrecy leak claimed its first casualty after Iceland’s Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned following allegations he had sought to hide his wealth and dodge taxes.'

asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-05/iceland-pm-resigns-following-protests-over-offshore-investments

asciilifeform: apparently this is a thing!

asciilifeform: holy fuq, i'm now getting 'work at ft meade!111' spamola!

asciilifeform: it sums to 0.

asciilifeform: rather it is 'day job as usual', no ?

asciilifeform: in what sense is that a revolution ?

asciilifeform: how many stalins and how many shoemakers ?

asciilifeform: illustrate ?

asciilifeform: and everyone sees folk who aren't treading, and still float

asciilifeform: but the other thing is that nobody really likes treading water

asciilifeform: everybody at some point gets to the place where they ~can't~ tread water

asciilifeform: part of it is the senescence thing

asciilifeform: recall the 'biological stages' thread ?

asciilifeform: 13:54 <+mircea_popescu> fuck, or get off the pig. << win!

asciilifeform: rather than a fixed parcel

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the moral of that snippet was that the folks somehow believed that they had a ~share~

asciilifeform: is it even possible for honest fella to carry out this job in englisch world ?

asciilifeform: 'economics professor' ranks somewhere near 'catholic priest' in my mental order

asciilifeform: i do not know enough to usefully say. but iirc mircea_popescu introduced him as 'fuck-you-moneyed' character.

asciilifeform: idk, iirc nanotube came out pretty well ?

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: i was definitely not 'there' aha.

asciilifeform: which imbeciles ?

asciilifeform: (bootstrapping via fraudulent preorder thing)

asciilifeform: the publicly-sold-miners thing was 100% chumpstrapping

asciilifeform: because mega-obvious imho.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '...in 2016 common people simply can not buy new miners, no matter what happens and how much money they're willing to spend...' << ahahaha precisely what i predicted when i showed up

asciilifeform: where was it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i missed the billion mit dollars thing ?

asciilifeform: axe-time, sword-time (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: hey recall, my main criticism of the demo run mircea_popescu gave me in '12 was 'i made too much coin investing in the exchange itself'

asciilifeform: at least no one will ever call it a pyramid again !!1111

asciilifeform: well yes, it is a theoretical thing, entirely conceivable that none of the recipients will blow it

asciilifeform: though i can see one possible interesting, to civilians, item - that's a megatonne of coin that is now in circulation again.

asciilifeform: was trying to get measure of how thick i am.

asciilifeform: nono

asciilifeform goes back to sleep

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interesting. am i thick or what am i missing, but afaik 0 implications in re the things that i do...

asciilifeform was not first to notice

asciilifeform: ah.
