mircea_popescu: if it can be delivered a la FG, and it doesn't cost MUCH more
than
the current shits, defo.
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, but i was just making
the point for his benefit
that his elaborately crafted
turd is not so much better
than
the 40 bux consumer
turd.
trinque: I'm still of
the mind
that I'd rather eat openbsd
than linux
mircea_popescu: that at any future point you must be able
to produce a package you're willing
to label "openbsd"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 15:45 asciilifeform: in other lulzies,
https://archive.is/roEgM >> privesc 0day : '...all versions of CentOS 7 before 1708 (released on September 13, 2017), all versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 before 7.4 (released on August 1, 2017), and all versions of CentOS 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are exploitable' << Aaaaaaand as usual linus sat on
the goods since april, because 'responsible'
mircea_popescu: with
the downside
that you're now stuck maintaining netbsd.
mircea_popescu: ah. i guess, if you keep lists of which ones aren't
too stupid byu nature

to have a
Trilema fiction story with so much emphasis on
the protagonists
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.

the heart of
the dark continent
adlai: "Reading is
to
the mind what exercise is
to
the body"
adlai: here we mostly have street cats,
that are
the apex predator of
the urban food chain
mircea_popescu: and in other "asian people should just be holocausted" news : piece of shit router, gets set up
to work on static ip, spews out
the helpful error message of "the value can't be equal". verbatim. and
the source of it is a pile of inclusion gnarl so you can't even
trivially debug
the nonsense
THAT way.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : miicard.com. "The only way
to prove you are who you say you are purely online"
mircea_popescu: nature provides precious few materials of comparable quality for
this particular purpose. cuz it has
to be soft and occlusive and so on, contrary engineering requirements.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-29 00:24 mircea_popescu: a...ficcionados (lol) can readily resolve
the problem
though : douche
the girl,
then anally feed her a banana for buffer,
then load her up in whatever flavour you favour and
then proceed
to dinner.

the 'let's use anything, ANYTHING but rsa'
thing really grates on me.
mircea_popescu: they'll "offer you"
to
take
them and set
their fat ass down in a $5mn apartment in a condo overlooking
the pierre.
mircea_popescu: because neither of
these, even if wrung into acceptability in
the most
theoretical sense, come with any sort of even vague hope of a possibility of a guarantee of computability.
mircea_popescu: i'd propose as heuristics from
this
that
the moment anyone proposes either a) a computable corolary of ZFC, no matter its kind or b) a computable corolary of AOC, no matter its kind, we're lost for reason.
mircea_popescu: seems
to me
the main reason $item stood out
to your examination is
that in a sea of former fools you finally found a latter kind.
mircea_popescu: so
to sum
this up in our lingua franca : one kind of fool says "this confuses me and
therefore must be hard".
the OTHER kind of fool says "this seems immediately beautiful and
to my eyes elegant and
therefore must be easy".
mircea_popescu: anyway. my point is
that
the idea
that "a practical implementation of
the axion of choice always exists" is way WAY further out
there
than simply
thje axiom of choice. WAY. because even "trivial"
things (find
the coprime n powers
that sum
to cube) are in point of FACT, know, proven, concrete poured and long dry, strictly incomputable.
mircea_popescu: right, but what i'm saying is
that
the original article is much in
this vein.
mircea_popescu: right, but
that's
the very important point
there, you don't get it without mutialrtion.
mircea_popescu: it's
the converse of
the modular math / elliptic curves geometry equivalence.
mircea_popescu: the 3 case is proven by euler.
the > 3 case flows from you know, wiles' work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no cube can be written as a sum of
two co-primes raised
to
the power of
three or above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you understand
this is actually impossible, yes ?
mircea_popescu: none of
this is dispositive ; what i'm saying here is
that im pretty sure i read
this, and it didn't come
through as much more
than
tyhe usual math grad wank
to me.
mircea_popescu: and it requires more
than
that, if you step out of haskell and
try
to c, nonsense such as "universal computability", which falls apart
the moment you are invited
to do relatively "simple"
things such as write cubes as sums of coprimes raised
to large powers.
mircea_popescu: heck, i recently linked
to some lulz discussing
that. recall cads and his fabled gf ?
mircea_popescu: no i mean
the result. "if
the classes are separate". well...
mircea_popescu: body parts seeping from
the ground in a swamp and such ?
mircea_popescu: but speech is certainly a perversion, so
this argument is hard
to bring.
mircea_popescu: all
the people going "oh, it's against nature" have NO FUCKING IDEA whatsoever as
to nature.
mircea_popescu: one of
the most fascinating
things about anal perversity is
that
the colon seems particularily eager
to enter dual use regime.

the problem. Yesterday I ate a most delicious desert out of my slavegirl's own ass, directly.
This dream of many previous sultans and whatnots
that nevertheless couldn't ever be fulfilled effortlessly came
through, for me. I didn't even much care for it either way," <<
