mircea_popescu: but yeah, should be smoked within
the same decade
they're rolled.
tobacco dun exactly age in
this extended sense
mircea_popescu: and in other ways and means, i just bought a pile of primo cigars, presidents and romeo y juliets and whatnot at
this... cathouse, basically.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but
that's
the point, base 10 is superbly built wrt primeness.
mircea_popescu: in other bases
that don't so even split,
this is not crypto-valuable because you would get induced lean.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the above example of "alt-addition" is mostly based on
the happenstance
that in base 10,
the set of digits
that are also prime is {1,2, 3, 5, 7} and
the set of digits
that are not prime is {0, 4, 6, 8, 9} ie it just so happens
to be a perfectly balanced split.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 03:54 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a
thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
a111: Logged on 2017-09-20 19:19 ben_vulpes: and as
the keccacteams mention, little incentive for cryptoacademia
to formalize how ARXceteras might fall over. hard work with little guarantee of payout apparently
terrible strategy in a world of publishorperish + everyone pretends
to ignore
that none of
the academics ever bothered
to do
the hard work of an actual ffa, preferring instead cheap outs like leaky
tables
shinohai: lobbes:
There are like 30 instances of it over in #eulora
mircea_popescu: i also fucked it up because 9 is not prime so it should have carried
the 1
lobbes: fuck. I apologize for lobbesbot's join/part spam lately. no idea wtf is happening.
taking him out of chan for
time-being...
mircea_popescu: i was not proceding
towards a purpose! but it is worth pointing out
that
the addition understood in
terms of "sum+bit diddle" can readily be extended ; and probably should be.
mircea_popescu: addition is "and you flip a bit if and only if
the digits overflow
the mod", but
this is historical accident.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole class of generalizations
that can be done in
this same vein.
mircea_popescu: consider something like mp's generalized addition :
the sum of
two numbers flips a bit if and only if one of
them is prime.
mircea_popescu: while
the carry property of addition is cryptographically valuable, it'd be better
to use a general
transform with bit coda instead.

☟︎ TomServo: asciilifeform: I recall you mentioning
this.
TomServo: archive.is seems
to be struggling with it.
jhvh1: ben_vulpes:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: !~later
tell mircea_popescu "university of electronic science and
technology of china"
shinohai: !~later
tell lobbes You're gonna hafta
to
tell me
the story of
this one over a beer one day. [~]D
mircea_popescu: yes "anticolonialism" was bullshit, but not because it destroyed a supposed rational approach of
the colonisers. it was bullshit because it exactly mirrored "civil rights" at home, ie was driven by INTERnationalistic, socialist elite-wannabes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check out
the libertards stealing
the having stolen !
BingoBoingo: “Anticolonialism ravaged countries as nationalist elites mobilized illiterate populations with appeals
to destroy
the market economies, pluralistic and constitutional polities, and rational policy processes of European colonizers.”
ben_vulpes: "i'm cultured, i had a stool
transplant!"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-20 02:47 mircea_popescu: soo, given
the "cultured milk" yoghurt bs
these days, i wonder what % of us population's entire exposure
to
that concept is in
that context, and as a result has come
to believe "cultured" means you know, you've had some germs injected or something.
BingoBoingo: and
the discussion is over
the same qntra piece, submitted
to
the alt-Reddit with
the same
title
to samely
title /conspiracy
BingoBoingo: Well, even
the
top comment is better: "“But why would you want
to offend
this poor, oppressed pedosexual, you bigot? You’re just pedophobic!” – jewish media"
BingoBoingo: The upvoats don't lie. Reddit's been eclipsed hard by
the conspirator community
mircea_popescu: the enjoyable aspect of
these empty hollow shells of nothing PURPORTING
to be "liberals" or "consumers" or whatever
the fuck it is
they're purporting
to be is
that it
takes literally 0 effort
to parody
them into
the ground.
mircea_popescu: i have
this friend (ie, chick
that was dating hotter guys
than me in highschool and never sat with me in cafeteria)
that's (((being))) a real estate agent except she's not closed on anything since 2015. it'd REALLY make my day if I could introduce her
to some beta
trading in
their govt issued paycheck for a govt issued house certificate.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i can't help but
think if you didn't have me around
to provide grounding you'd end up drifting away into some cult or something BingoBoingo.
BingoBoingo: But
Trump spoke
to
the UN so now he won per
the rest of
the world nao
too
mircea_popescu: that's how you know
they're not (((REALLY))) barristas, either.
they don't admit
to it, right ? so it's not
true.
mircea_popescu: hey, she didn't (((REALLY))) lose if
they don't admit she has!
BingoBoingo: Right, Just like
that 83rd
trimester abortion can get
the girl's modesty back
mircea_popescu: it's basic, good
thinking such as
this
that saves elections, i'll have you know. goood
thing hilarity still has a chance!
BingoBoingo: So it seems.
This is just speculation based on observed behavior
BingoBoingo: HRC is how
they say "Hillary Clinton" in places
they don't want google
to associate with Hilary Clinton
mircea_popescu: gotta love how
teh jews are still out
there, acting as if
there's more substance
to
this supposed "liberal"
thing
than said hilarity.
BingoBoingo: Completely neglecting
the whole point of... A couple catholics burried
their bishops in little boys and news pushes it decades later
BingoBoingo: "that's barely English, and
the only reason "pantsuit" is in
there is because of a high correlation with "liberal"
thanks
to HRC."
ben_vulpes: don't you know, BingoBoingo,
tmsr~ is 95% shannonizer by linecount
BingoBoingo: "Man,
that site is weird.
There's lots of stories
that have
the word "pantsuits" in
them but
the site purports
to be about bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: after all, you're not supposed
to look anything up, just guess "what it could mean" "in context".
mircea_popescu: soo, given
the "cultured milk" yoghurt bs
these days, i wonder what % of us population's entire exposure
to
that concept is in
that context, and as a result has come
to believe "cultured" means you know, you've had some germs injected or something.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and now
thatthe log is done, i shall dedicate myself
to
the other enjoyable literate passtime --
the reading of old
trilema articles.
