mircea_popescu: see, here's the problem : work === "hey mp, here's the genesis & tree for the crypto item eulora needed ; now
as to s.nsa's fee...". !work is anything-not-that, including ~very helpful~ side comments.
mircea_popescu: who wrote it is of no consequence, that pointer will be permafixed
as NIL.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 15:19 mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such
as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ?
phf: i have some idea of how to fix this issue though. for example i can treat characters from certain unicode planes (anything higher than latin-1)
as grep
lobbes:
As for processing urls 'going forward' I got a bot sitting in chan that snarfs urls
as they come and keeps it in a 'to-be-processed' database. Still, having redundant data sources couldn't hurt. I would definitely be interested in url streams
mircea_popescu: he takes the sentence "i am rich here
as i'd be anywhere ; and i can't buy anything for it here unlike anywhere else" and turns it into "i am rich here because usg made me rich ; and i can't buy anything here or anywhere else because non-usg". whether he verbalizes that "non-usg"
as "the most serene republic" or "black people" or "islam" or "patriarchy" or what have you, it's still what it is.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-04#1746199 << because exactly
as i say : he assigned universals ("the sun rises in the morning! BECAUSE STALIN!") to the socialist state ; and the very disasters caused by that socialist state to imaginary "everyone else everywhere else". guess what, it WASN'T the terrorists that came busting down the door. it was... the socialists he worked for.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: now, dude married to lawyer and with lawyer daughter, ie, core of the profession, is being "indicted",
as if this were even fucking permissible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, so check out imperial poverty. manafort dude has "homes" ie real estate picassos worth maybe 11mn and loans outstanding worth 12 ? so he is "rich" because he's in the red 1e6
as opposed to poorer plebs only allowed in the red 1e4 or 1e5 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no problem,
as long
as clearly communicated.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure this guy will actually send you one if you pay him ;
as opposed to the other one.
jurov: "The default C++ language version for applications is now C++14...means, however, that compilers earlier than GCC 6 are masked and not supported for use
as a system compiler anymore."
mircea_popescu: now, it's true we use superglue on skin tears, but it's not true that such nonsense
as that described can be a racing toolkit.
mircea_popescu: phf i can't read it like that in the context of the three items that he offers
as his tools of the trade.
mircea_popescu: dumb fucking nonsense, a good fit for maybe 1% of cases presented
as california magical weight loss cure.
phf: asciilifeform: "present
as just happened" was unintentional, but otherwise that sounds about right, 2012 publication, hackernews thread is from roughly the same time
mircea_popescu: people such
as here present will claim that bolix or something like that worked, but i have my reservations. and in any case lispm wasn't "unix", though cathedral alright.
mircea_popescu: phf i don't understand the dating scheme involved. page says august 15, 2012, text refers to 2001
as "13 years ago" (so was it 2014 ?) and you present it
as an event that just happened ? which is it ?
phf: apparently he also argues for fits in head
as the only proper measure elsewhere, but i can't find the source of quote (possibly person who implied it is a log reader, and just reused the variety speak)
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-03#1745783 << my read is that he was genuine lee kuan yew, except not nearly
as intelligent (nor fortunate) ; eventually collapsed under the pressure of the pointless maggot herd wanting what it wants rather than what it needs aka "democracy".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: why the fuck would standford give a dumb neet
as much
as a length of string "because they need it" ? let them need from their fucking mother / community college.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-03 10:10 mircea_popescu: "investigative" in the sense of "here's half the picture, let's hope together that a) you're not smart enough to understand the elements it's constructed out of are meaningless and b) the areas it doesn't cover are meaningful". basically, the EXACT nonsense
as in "wash dc pizzeria scandal"/"#metoo" : free association game.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-01 22:42 mircea_popescu: in other news nobody cares about, usg.state's main asset in romania looks well headed to jail. kovesi (special "anti-corruption prosecutor") lied about meeting various politicians (
as part of usg embassy-directed
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743878 scandal).
a111: Logged on 2017-08-06 16:51 mircea_popescu: (this point, in either "intern can progress" or "sit in forum and access meaning" presentation, is the fundamental mechanism of both "rounders" and that "poolhall junkies" cheapo rehack of it : that the dude playing can decide the girl's future, a degree of magnitude above her own capacity. take that away -- it's not worth doing. and you sure

diana_coman: and moreover, that was said in 1898, not
as if it's new or anything
diana_coman: well, the *what* it extracts is of course much more telling of what the thing is to start with;
as for the reasons there... reason was
as far
as I understand it "they are better than us because they defeated us", can't say it's obviously "smoke and mirror"
diana_coman: hm, by same token life only ever survives (briefly)
as an extraction engine, what of it
mircea_popescu: diana_coman except here's the biter : the "civilized crowds" only ever survives (briefly)
as an extraction engine.
mircea_popescu: the dude with fucking options and self-determinations
as to who he wants to work with.
mircea_popescu: or for that matter just
as recently, some german dork.
mircea_popescu: the problem's the 3rd world whore's attitude,
as described in that friday piece.
mircea_popescu: nobody in his line of work has EVER made a bitcoin's worth in one year no matter what they did. but does he have enough sense to go... hmmm... i'll treat this
as an advance, and use it to finance my supposedly useful work coming back with deliveries worth at least 10x that, because thaty's how useful i am, and see what happens
mircea_popescu: at least when i pour it into the ground, i know what i'm doing with it
as i do it.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 22:06 asciilifeform: i discovered that mainstream finite field libs are
as complicated
as they are largely because they insist on growable - and, ergo, heap-allocated - nums.
mircea_popescu: ie, it'd have been nice to have this item done last year
as per original discussions. but whatever.
diana_coman: uhm; my understanding is that Indices is in essence the type for bit-level indexing; sure some values overlap but you can't have in same fz same number of words
as of bits unless wordsize is 1
mircea_popescu: the "think of it
as heat" mental experiment imo has the great advantage of clearing the mind of all sorts of bizarro world "nsa is cool" assumptions about "electromagnetic signature", a magical property of radiation to "know who its daddy is" or somesuch
mircea_popescu: anwyay, revisiting an ancient conversation re
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mining+is+a+bug : i have to thoroughly concede this point to asciilifeform . the model is
as follows : if a) a PoW system exists in which b) a participating entity can recognize work done by itself
as opposed to work done by others then it NECESSARILY follow that entity can, and therefore it ALSO follows that it eventually will c) impose further con
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: 9th grade computer (iMac G3) reintroduced again
as "Internet lives here"
BingoBoingo: 7th grade computer reintoduced (Mac Classic I)
as "typewriter substitute"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> anyway, there's a fundamental divide between people whose intuitive understanding of computer is "basically large phone switchboard with robotic switchmaid" and people whose intuitive understanding of computer is "squee! apple drawing thing!" << In sixth grade computer (Apple II) was introduced to class
as drawing thing (turtle graphics)
mircea_popescu discovered xor while trying to make z80 gfx
as a 7-8-9yo.
ben_vulpes: also known
as "enough matlab to make completely convincing fabrications"
mircea_popescu: very much a case of "are you trying to learn how to fly the f-14 on the basis of having been a f-4 pilot, or are you trying to learn how to fly the f-14 because you loved f-14 flight sim on crapple
as a teen ?"
diana_coman:
as I said: my recent headaches on the topic made this absolutely pop out to me
diana_coman: ofc; but idiotic keccac "reference" implementation goes about reading *bytes* although spec clearly talks of bits and at most of z-dimension long array of bytes and
as a consequence madness necessarily ensues
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has a point though. you need someone
as doggedly determined
as ceausescu to keep the thing afloat. economic blocs are a reality for what, 50 years now ? euro "common market" was not particularily DESIRED.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it will conveniently double
as many things. i will add it to the topic link later today.
mod6: I don't have an ada at my disposal atm. So will do an entire test of the thing tonight and post results
as I have them (probably on my site).
