asciilifeform: thestringpuller: now this is interesting, and i would really like to see the log

asciilifeform: (it also results in a nearly useless node because nothing can ever connect to it)

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: -connect lives and dies by the nodes you -connect'ed to

asciilifeform: https://bitbet.us/bet/1249/alphago-will-defeat-lee-sedol-overall-in-march/#c5867 << there is what, dozen of these, and i dun think they're all nubbins`..

asciilifeform: holy shit, elgamal works for spammerz!??

asciilifeform: shannonizer cum lipstick.

asciilifeform: (and PARRY)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: every natural-language whateverthefuck attempt looked like, at best, RACTOR.

asciilifeform: and yeah eclipse is this thing where there are 10,001 plugins, prolly one of them eats it.

asciilifeform: because wtf

asciilifeform: i wouldn't dream of using it for a project tho

asciilifeform: i mercifully forgot.

asciilifeform: apparently!

asciilifeform: (rotor invokes boost's jam thing but trb, recall, builds with ordinary gnumake)

asciilifeform: but why use it for human work

asciilifeform: itself, aha

asciilifeform: l0l why.

asciilifeform: looks like a heathen gnumake ?

asciilifeform: me neither

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: very bulky thing, written in java

asciilifeform: it is text editor

asciilifeform: eclipse is not a compiler

asciilifeform: ah.

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: but still river, high groundwater

asciilifeform: actually no border, wtf

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: and walkway right here in front...

asciilifeform: and i have grass like this right here in my backyard!11

asciilifeform: i'dve assumed ru

asciilifeform: definitive how?

asciilifeform: l0lwut

asciilifeform: pants made from old bagpipe ?!

asciilifeform: l0l! what is the old man wearing ?!

asciilifeform: as in metallurgy.

asciilifeform: you gotta remove the crud first.

asciilifeform: but this is a half-truth.

asciilifeform: for some reason many folks focus on ~synthesis~ as the main act of productive thought

asciilifeform: see also the 'inventors - cut things' thread.

asciilifeform: aha, this removal is imho ~the~ business.

asciilifeform: phf: the mega-discovery (at least to me) last month is that this is ~still so~ for 'official' crypto

asciilifeform: the 'unknownity' of which is not an attribute of ~them~ but of the ~system~ of them+yourhead

asciilifeform: complexity is only defined for ~unknowns~

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al: incidentally, this edges into the definition of 'random', as per the 1,001 threads on subj. specifically, solving a problem ~you already know the solution to~ is O(1) in all cases!111

asciilifeform: e.g., aes

asciilifeform: see also the idiocy of 'nothing-up-my-sleeve constants'

asciilifeform: aha, sop in what passes for 'cryptographic komyoooonity'

asciilifeform: this is actually much harder than it appears, because there must also be a proof that the PARTICULAR INSTANCES of the problem you make use of are ~likewise~ of the worst AVERAGE CASE complexity

asciilifeform: mats: see old thread;

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: post your debug.log tail ?

asciilifeform: could marry six times before breakfast.

asciilifeform: ok now this makes sense.

asciilifeform: would that not mean ~refusing~ to use secret addrs?

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: fiddycents of iron.

asciilifeform: soo it goes in the kbd. luckily ps/2 is very simple to talk in, you can use , e.g., a 16f84

asciilifeform: southbridge.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i use coreboot, and would put in what i want, but the ~hardware~ makes no provision

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436666 << elisp , and emacs as a whole , suck donkey balls. it is in many ways a microscopic model of how linux sucks, a turd for which NO replacement is available, so it is kept on life support at all costs . ☝︎

asciilifeform: and bacterium eats coward and hero just the same at the end of the war.

asciilifeform: no shit

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436599 << 'us too! if usg can hand out $B to aggressive mediocrities, so can we!111' ☝︎

asciilifeform: needs a pill

asciilifeform: iirc dbus

asciilifeform: (for which NO substitute exists)

asciilifeform: e.g., 'wireshark'

asciilifeform: and anything that fails to build after that, is not respecting the flag, and has to be either discarded or patched.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436653 << you gotta ~mask~ and flag. what this does is to guarantee that the thing won't be pulled, but at the same time allow other things that might be severable from the dependency to still build. ☝︎

asciilifeform: and so politically favoured

asciilifeform: iirc it ended up in various places because it had fsf copyright

asciilifeform: i have nfi what the upside of guile was supposed to be

asciilifeform: very heavy relativly to ts

asciilifeform: it is a turd incidentally

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: iirc gimp once used it, but now has the latter

asciilifeform: used as a tinyscheme of sorts

asciilifeform: phf: guile is an old scheme

asciilifeform: i started actually making a systematic list of exclusions, then barfed, really we want to enumerate ~good~ parts, they are few

asciilifeform: phf: aha!

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436602 << undisclosed addresses? unprincipled-exception from 'no such thing as taint' ?!! ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436622 << consider posting? ☝︎

asciilifeform: but yes, kernel needs to have key rebind, to make laptop behave sanely

asciilifeform: need own controller, or a cooperating one (e.g., northgate's)

asciilifeform: kbd had grid system

asciilifeform: can't simply resolder

asciilifeform: so it ends up going in the keyboard.

asciilifeform: hell i'd put it in bios if x86 had any provision for this

asciilifeform: not in boot menu either.

asciilifeform: i don't EVER want capslock to not be ctrl.

asciilifeform: ideally in lilo

asciilifeform: because os is militantly retarded

asciilifeform: i end up rebinding keys in hardware when possible

asciilifeform: prior to whatever else

asciilifeform: imho key rebinds should be processed ~when machine boots~

asciilifeform: it desperately needs a cure

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436625 << afaik there is no provision for this, because retardation ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2016#1436624 << not tried yet. but expect this to fail. ☝︎

asciilifeform: the point of my config was to stop the crud from getting pulled in by portage at every turn, which it otherwise does.
