diana_coman: mircea_popescu, peasants of 1800 did not have the option of plastic or they'd have taken it just the same; that being said I still recall the communist-ro going precisely that route e.g. have now this here wonderful soya-oil just as good as the "true thing" which supposedly was... sunflower oil because nobody was supposed to even remember olive oil ☟︎
mircea_popescu: usg will survive as provider of toilet paper!!!
a111: Logged on 2017-11-26 03:19 mircea_popescu: and in other "we are the asswipes, we programatically cut the very branch we sit on" lulz, "we did not choose the "new rothchilds" nor do we want them. if bitcoin cash is a means to stop these people then it appears that the votes are being cast as we speak. if bitcoin cash is just another version of the "new rothchilds" then the votes will be cast for the next usurper. there will always be an underdog".
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743518 prolly needs to be addressed better than the original "i wouldn't give a shit" : i'm ready to take over the governance of the entire world from the hands of the inept pretenders of today, as of yesterday. the result would be very ~different~, yes, but that's irrelevant. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 12:53 mircea_popescu: jurov the problem is one of optics. you have not "seen paying" anyone for .achristianfamily either, but you credit the empire and discredit the republic for reasons we're invited to not misrepresent as misplaced loyalties, i guess. similarly with electrum - yes, for as long as you stick to the credit empire discredit republic mindset, it "enables" you.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-29 13:16 mircea_popescu: take the general "entrepreneur", take paul biggar as a much better example. the kid is definitely intelligent. he wants to be an entrepreneur. which is a word, which has a meaning. he proceeds to usianize. this FAILS TO DELIVER, but a decade later he is STILL doing it. and apparently hasn't noticed ANYTHING about any of this. why not ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 03:39 mircea_popescu: somehow if the usg website comes up with "it's illegal to smoke", they stop smoking, AS FUCKING IF. whereas when the republic orders, they "have options".
asciilifeform: and yes he could go and make money but then risks ending up as a programmer and whining about shitty kvms and no moar wall to hang lcd etc
mircea_popescu: great tits, great asses, as tall as your dick altogether.
mircea_popescu: bout the same as in the us.
mircea_popescu: cr regularily has a major euro excedent and dollar deficit (as it imports cars and shit from mexico for usd)
asciilifeform: aha same as in usa

mircea_popescu: when it fails as you want it to fail it's called "working".
mircea_popescu: if we could say how shit fails we'd be way ahead in the game. problem with failing shit is that it fails as it wants to fail.
asciilifeform: as i understand it, whole idea of 'backed currency' is intrinsically chumpatronic.
diana_coman: eh, it's postmodernism in the usual sense that "this word here doesn't mean what it means anymore but something else I decided"; aka "backed" now means as far as I heard "but everyday transactions happen still in fiat"
mircea_popescu: in other fake news / mass media lulz, i read in today's la nacion that bitcoin went over 8k usd, and that various nobodies leeching the tax chest opine as to how "items not backed by anything are risky".
asciilifeform: ( rather than release of whole thing as 'born grown' genesis )
asciilifeform: sadly for kjj, as i understand he is stuck with this key 4evah, unless he wants to buy a boeing for mpex...
kjj: mpex.biz textbox as usual
mircea_popescu: "spurious item which the superficial mind regards as the universal underpinning of existence"
mircea_popescu: arabs believed "if one doesn't believe in god, no matter which as long as one" world also ends. looked at me as you'd look at something thart crawled out of black hole.
mircea_popescu: dja know how despicable faggots of the interwar (such as, eminently, bedwetter blair) were "indignant" at "the cruel and violent sport of boxing" especially because "of how it makes a minority of women behave" ?
a111: Logged on 2014-04-25 20:09 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did you ever encounter the tale of 'подвиг радиста' as schoolboy?
mircea_popescu: there's nothing more perennial than 1880s tech, in the 1960s as in the 2010
asciilifeform: 'Users with physical limitations can select “Accessibility Options” during enrollment that doesn't require the full range of head motion to capture different angles' << but at least one can register Officially as a tard !111 and cheat.
mircea_popescu: "RonAndFez.com : New York's WNEW-FM was converted from a long-respected rock station to all-talk in 1999, with afternoon drive show Opie and Anthony as the focal point. Ron and Fez signed on to host an overnight talk show named Ron and Fez Dot Com, beginning February 21, 2000 and broadcast from 11pm–3am. Ron and Fez eventually moved to evenings (7:00–11:00 pm), then to early afternoon (12:00–3:00pm) and later back to th
mircea_popescu: whole fucking #metoo bullshit was ongoing in 2015 ; outside of http://trilema.com/2016/stfu-attention-whore-culture/ nobody said anything (and sure as fuck nobody roundkicked around the house any of the mousey whinebags involved). #surprised?
mircea_popescu: and in other "we are the asswipes, we programatically cut the very branch we sit on" lulz, "we did not choose the "new rothchilds" nor do we want them. if bitcoin cash is a means to stop these people then it appears that the votes are being cast as we speak. if bitcoin cash is just another version of the "new rothchilds" then the votes will be cast for the next usurper. there will always be an underdog". ☟︎
ben_vulpes: in unrelated self-crits, orange county register runs a piece titled "the future of americas suburbs looks infinite!", with such gems as "...experts claiming that many suburban tracks (sic) were about to become 'the next slums'"
ben_vulpes: i have what appears to be a chroot with gcc 4.9 and py 2.7, it can happily boot x11 proggies from within the chroot which i take as a good sign but not a definitive greenlight; and now i'm mulling how best to make this chroot the root fs for the whole box. might mount my old root into the chroot, chroot in and mv that to a backup dir (but haven't reasoned through what happens when you mount a fs containing
mircea_popescu: if i mention how i had slave-labour-made fresh crannberies sauce as well as yogurt chimichurri for the lamb over thxgiving (which we don't even actually celebrate) i'm just being an asshole rite.
mircea_popescu: t from the host, which is what containers do. System services can still be part of the host and can still maybe see it but not necessarily access things." this'd then be the empire's gothic line. as the man observes himself, ""the concepts and logic behind it aren't really convincing".)
mircea_popescu: (re link, the worthy quote, for they too lazy to dig, being "Poettering, as usual, is working on his own solutions and not complaining about the problem. He is working on bringing service management to the next level. He wants to make it easy so users can sandbox system service without necessarily isolating them completely from the host-ware.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1743016 << ftr that's 13.2k usd at current exchange rate. for a box that 1) is about same as 1k usd opteron 2) other than cpu, is made of exactly same stuff ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: 1000x magnification seems unrealistic - that being said: if I crush some product, take hundreds of images of each sample & use them as input into a neural network along with a 1-10 (bunk-absolute fire) rating y'think it'll get trained to recognize the real deal? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: You know make America great again, as in Antebellum...

phf: that's the meaning of 500+, but it gets gradually expanded as you follow the pages, so the speed starts dropping. so the last page of mircea_popescu search (http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mircea_popescu&page=512) takes 0.3s, which is maxint it takes to walk the whole history

mircea_popescu: makes saliva way overpeptic, as a result mouth is no longer a balanced system
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 06:08 phf: gabriel_laddel: i have a yoga mat, a strip of lsd, a supply of codeine and a medical insurance card; i don't question their usefulness, i just think it's important to be able to discriminate, so as to apply each one of them appropriately
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: There is still plenty to do. CLIM's COM-FOO machinery has to be cut & replaced with "functions most often called on / FTYPE matches this as a valid ARG"

gabriel_laddel: Brånemark spent almost 30 years fighting the scientific community for acceptance of osseointegration as a viable treatment. In Sweden he was often openly ridiculed at scientific conferences.
gabriel_laddel: Finally figured out how to score meth tho. Tis the bomb diggity & works exactly as I noted here in the logs prior to finding it.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to the current what is it.
mircea_popescu: u use it as an anchor to the full size item.
mircea_popescu: you decide on an image to be displayed on search page, specifically. "i want it 1024 x 168 pixels". you separately produce a png, as wide as day count, and as tall as daycount * 168 / 1024 rounded. you fill that png with the proper lines, proportionally (so highest count day gets full line, all other days get proportional line). then you scale it down to 1024 x 168. you publish this scaled down item on the search page, and yo
mircea_popescu: compressed version always page width, allowing thus to produce a proper as-wide-as-days-to-date item.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the functionality as such is particularly useful, i prefer the search. however the perspective actually is, filters would prolly empower the searching mind.
phf: well, right, it highlights a specific post, but also filters, so ...#;foo works as a whole day filter

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742727 << wouldn't something like "run it by candi" work as an infinitely better solution to this problem than html-css ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and show the proper values, such as demeaning women, bare cunts, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: i don't even care if they're similar per se, just as long as they're good.
mircea_popescu: ok but intensively plox. "can try" as in you know, i checked out 1mn pix.
mircea_popescu: (deviantart here used as metasyntactic notation for "whatever shitty forum these mortidifame gather upon")
mircea_popescu: the idiot author of the linked piece is too fucking dumb to answer emails to his god damned own contact email as provided by patreon, notwithstanding he evidently is fucking starving. ho the fuck even told these schmucks they're at liberty to you know, "make own decisions" such as not pick up phone from god ?
asciilifeform: could restate as the q of whether 'distance from ideal otp' is a quantifiable matter .
asciilifeform: ( i.e. someone saw it fit to change its semantics, between versions, as if such a change is ever anything other than wrecking )
asciilifeform: as if the 'p' evaporates, unhappens, if not mentioned
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, how hard would it be to add a flag (=lisp) to bpaste, make it highlight and shit as per #lisp folk spec ? ("<|3b|> mircea_popescu: links to spec in particular, + interactive paren highlighting")
mircea_popescu: as per intel, cannonical, mastodon. grad student, "I subsist on hot pockets".
asciilifeform: 'DAYDREAMER activates a top-level LOVERS goal because it is not involved in a LOVERS relationship, and one or more of its need states subsumed by the relationship are unsatisfied. A new concern is created and a positive motivating emotion of interest is created and associated with the new concern. The intrinsic importance of the goal is 0.9. This becomes the magnitude of the motivating emotion, as well as the current value for the mo
phf: maybe, but only as "presented as found". froydnj said in a few places, that he doesn't think ironclad is there yet as far as being used for production crypto. and we had a thread (with ben_vulpes) where we discovered that sha512 (!!!) had a bug
asciilifeform: !~later tell whaack when testing 'horse', verify that the bin turd produced as file 'out' is identical to the input block. this means that the parser worx.
mircea_popescu: most parasitosis works that way, actually. there is such a thing as a rich guy's tuberculosis immunity. or, for that matter, aids.
mircea_popescu: "mp is possibly not a millionaire seeing how he has girls combing the streets of poor countries looking for salvageable parts in the debris, as opposed to shooting photographs with the photographer's girlfriend like TRUE millionaires do"
mircea_popescu: "in order to get rich (as usg defines that term) in crypto you gotta trade... the crypto... for the fetish of crypto!!11". see ? the lesson's well learned.
whaack: well the txn hash is provided as the inputs in the future blocks but each new txn in a block does not provide a copy of its hash as well afaik
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 21:25 asciilifeform: whaack: not difficult to add up all of the various 'softfork' liquishit tho -- it shows up as 'cannot decode' on ben_vulpes's blockviewer
mircea_popescu: the complaint re mp's perceived lifestyle neartly folds into the general problem : "i think mp might be a millionaire as usg defined that term for me, but it seems in a sense fake, because he doesn't display the markers usg trained me to recognize. i wonder, if usg controls my perception of my own wants in the sense of defining how their perceptible form looks, why i don't get to be a millionaire ?"
diana_coman: ahahaha "like mircea popescu or whatever his name is, but even with him i suspect he's not anywhere near as rich as he wants people to think he is - it doesn't add up; poorly fitted suits, average looking hotel suites/condos, spends all his time living in cheap shitholes which is precisely what white people who have money to live abroad but aren't rich do)" ; from ^^ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: contrary to pretense, under 1% of those are actual rapes, as defined by the only proper measure : "did you fight first ?"
mircea_popescu: " At Buyerbrain, Ioana performs as a researcher and as a multidisciplinary perspective analyst, disseminating and promoting the neuroscience culture while also applying those principles to marketing and communicating the laboratory." you understand me ?!
mircea_popescu: but this is the fucking "career" of these schmucks. born 83, graduated "college" 2003, worked as a fashion-culture-pop-media "editor" at some obscure local paper, then became "a PR officer!!1" by now pretending to "cultural management". motherfucker. management ?!
asciilifeform: i propose to enact this useful new word as a proper thing
diana_coman: that being said, whenever I find I don't even have that poor picture as full and as clear as I'd like, I'm still left with little other choice then to go and read; possibly again, what can I do
asciilifeform: but as for the general principles which a naive n00b might hope to find in such a work -- there's nothing since old man john von n.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, and then when client enciphers with 1 from a set of 8 selected from those 16: does this mean reusing that 1 key for as many 128 chunks that particular eulora message has? or do you mean 1 per chunk ?
mircea_popescu: in reality less as it draws some itself.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i guess we'll define a "control packet" which is always the first 128 bits of every comm, which will contain data such as "killed key #x moved to #y" and also "running out of keys send moar".
asciilifeform: ( in other 'gangrene ? what gangrene?' horrors : 'LibTomCrypt is pretty nice to read (only bug found in last 10 years was in prime generation — failed to iterate Miller-Rabin)' -- from turd https://comsecuris.com/slides/slides-bignum-bhus2015.pdf re broken bignumatrons. cited line presented as a 'hey it's pretty good'... )
asciilifeform: i read that line as a restatement of the ancient 'seekrit algos are a stupidity, honest crypto keeps only privkey seekrit' truism
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, let me see if I got this right re "patch": simply apply serpent as it is and then at the next level up glue x keys together and send as "key", glue the corresponding x outputs together and use as "output"; basically lump together 16 serpents
asciilifeform: ( the latter is defined as a family of functions, and so 'rubber' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: serpent isn't defined as a stretchable thing - i.e. it isn't obvious what ought to be changed to produce a larger ( or smaller, for that matter ) block, and still to have it meaningfully similar to original

asciilifeform: ( i see it as a still-unsolved problem. )
diana_coman: hm, I probably did not know how to search for it properly as I did look but still not very clear on it
diana_coman: asciilifeform, mind expanding a bit on what you had in mind as best way to expand serpent to 512 bits blocks?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-06 21:37 asciilifeform: i find it also very interesting that all aes-like ('boxes') cryptosystems are direct descendants of rotor machines. which were known to be pseudoscientific even when first built, as vernam existed
diana_coman: well, I was trying to keep my scope there relatively narrowly focused on serpent itself; it's not a very short post as it is anywya
asciilifeform: the process whereby rijndael became usg's national One Troo Cipher was as dubious a thing as could be expected.
diana_coman: updated; I'll read and link when I find it, as it should be linked I think
asciilifeform: the item at the time known as 'rijndael' was crowned by nsa, and was proclaimed 'aes'
