mircea_popescu: "b) the key it does allow you to extract won'
t be used right away, but at an undetermined time in the futur, depending on the available store of key material, and on the volume of traffic," is actually included verbatim in DEFENSE of the utility of the scheme
mircea_popescu: and the problem with heuristics is -- they self-reinforce. BOTH if broken or if sound. proper knowledge only self-reinforces if sound, but heuristic approaches don'
t know their own dick from a hole in the ground.
mircea_popescu: the "this item worked for 50 years, but STILL isn'
t pm" along with the famous "droppled of pitch" made some useful points for my head.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think i ever met a kid that didn'
t intrinsically respect invention.
mircea_popescu: don'
t lie, because if you do you form a sort of mental habit that will prevent you from ever inventing anything.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's mindboggling, to me, you know ? EVERY fucking parent since the dawn of time told his kids "don'
t lie" with all sorts of dumb, dysfunctional ratonalles "you'll go to jail" "i'll beat you up" whatever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, i still don'
t know why you call blinders "blinkers"
mircea_popescu: and i mean it quite specifically as strong as "if djb weren'
t a spook, and honest enough a man to look at the problem correctly, he would probably have had lubby before lubby did. certainky he was smart enough."
mircea_popescu: of [preselected] idiots is a major, if not the principal source of discovery ; something i know from personal experience for my own needs, if the theory weren'
t enough.)
mircea_popescu: i do not intend to be respected on the basis of "i can'
t explain why" if at all possible.
mircea_popescu: preferably one that doesn'
t consist of "tried to", that's what my slavegirls say before getting the whip
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 21:37 mircea_popescu: phf and if you don'
t share with heathens, make it so !!shelf returns a pile encrypted to my key for instance, nothing wrong with that.
mircea_popescu: ii2.org is dead... hub.irc.at doesn'
t answer, vienna.irc.at actually drops connections "unauthorized"...
mod6: i haven'
t seen it in ages. i feel like i should watch it again.
mircea_popescu: the point is bitcoin permits me to rape eth, and turn mit into a sort of ransom faucet. this doesn'
t go away by speaking.
zineKing: don'
t get me wrong, I'm totally onboard with the plan. But in order for a crypto to be accepted by the masses it has to be a better alternative, more efficient, than what people currently use. to me, the closest thing right now is probably ETH
mircea_popescu: "we didn'
t know how you wanted your house laid out so we put this sqm in the middle that has to be traversed FOR EVERYTHING! hope you enjoy all the copping a titfeel in your own god damned house"
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, "oh we don'
t know what people may plug into the bus", like it's 1979 and i go around the killer micros with syringe needles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, have dedicated fucking lines. all this "oh, we have nfi what will hang off this cpu" pretense is 1980s idiocy. WE FUCKING KNOW. have dedicated netbridge ; have or not have dedicated video bridge -- YOU KNOW if you're putting or not puting a fucking vidcard in there but you don'
t know whether you need a bus for it or not ? gimme a fucken break!
trinque: asciilifeform: worth a thread maybe, but I loathe the one-kernel-for-them all approach; I don'
t even ship my kernels with module loading enabled
trinque: doesn'
t matter; we'll need a set of known-good kernel configs anyway
trinque: and they use things like "release signing key" because persons don'
t exist
mircea_popescu: "very strict" : if i can'
t lean on them to make a proper genesis, also just as good as not existing
mircea_popescu: but in shorthand practical terms, if they don'
t have a genesis we can patch upon, they don'
t exist.
trinque: can'
t repo portage without it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're familiar with the dependency problem, yes ? the statement here is that dependency problem for debian is SO BAD you can'
t actually produce a meaningful packaging of useful debian within finite space.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i wouldn'
t mind an ascii-art renderer, like vlc has.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-30 19:59 ben_vulpes: but you say that "i have the hardware", so use that hardware. boot a bitcoin node on it and don'
t worry about port 80.
ben_vulpes: jawbone2: i don'
t purge ratings on much more than a once-every-other-quarter basis, so you've got some time
trinque: I don'
t find that my home ISP changes IP more than every few months, at least.
ben_vulpes: afaik you don'
t even need to be able to do incoming connections, although you are a leech upon the network if you don'
t.
ben_vulpes: shouldn'
t need a permanent IP to run a node. it's a good thing, and a requirement for running a srsbsns anything, but you can drop connections and reconnect to the bitcoin network regularly without much hassle.
ben_vulpes: but you say that "i have the hardware", so use that hardware. boot a bitcoin node on it and don'
t worry about port 80.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i also didn'
t see any "code of conduct", which by now screams pantsuit like "real estate values" scream cardboard houses.
ben_vulpes: is there a point to that sort of spam that i don'
t understand?
pete_dushenski: just read about the 5451-piece richard mille "jura" clock in quebec city, as it happens, and i'll definitely be checking it out next time i'm there. apparently the thing took 6 years to build, which isn'
t so hard to believe when you see that incorporates a perpetual calendar (which knows leap years from non-leap years, unlike an annual calendar), rementoire d'egalite (for improving accuracy), and equation of
pete_dushenski: can'
t have too many public clocks though. so much the more if they're technically novel.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-18 22:53 phf: yes, scp, screen, asdf. i had a v based deployment but i wasn'
t happy with it, so i'm trying to rethink it
mircea_popescu: i also seem to recall he didn'
t like it for some reason. anyways.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 19:14 phf: v also doesn'
t solve all the problems that asdf attempts to solve (for example compilation dependency)
mircea_popescu: phf and if you don'
t share with heathens, make it so !!shelf returns a pile encrypted to my key for instance, nothing wrong with that.
☟︎ phf: also v doesn'
t recognize state. in a tree A->B pressing to A, then loading, then pressing to B, then loading is different than pressing to B right away and loading the result
phf: v also doesn'
t solve all the problems that asdf attempts to solve (for example compilation dependency)
☟︎ phf: v runs with a special case of sat solver. i don'
t understand which part of "asdf doesn'
t have a sat solver" and "sat is never mentioned" is not clear. i'm saying that whatever dependency resolution is always a special case of sat. you put some contraints on it (no cirlces, etc.) and then you can have special case solutions.
phf: but usocket probably defensively passes serve-events nil to make sure that "legacy" machinery doesn'
t kick in, because nobody knows about it, or wants to deal with it
mircea_popescu: the next article title will be "we shall now read anathem", if that wasn'
t obvious
mircea_popescu: you'll ruin my idea of romanian difficulty and i'll end up going "what, you don'
t get this kindergarten fare?!?!" at poor innocent slavegirls.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760640 << would be interesting to see exactly how this 'bug' looked. but currently can'
t be arsed to unearth the old crud ( where even is it )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nibble was a HALF BYTE! and a byte was REGISTER WIDTH. so no, it wasn'
t customarily 4, it was customarily half of 8 for as long as registers were 8. nibble today should be 32 bits.
mircea_popescu: from "the people who shouldn'
t have computer access" gallery.
BingoBoingo:
t 2015 site visit, the station had been taken off the air when the agents took further field strength measurements immediately after the Sido interview ended."
trinque: nickserv is what it is; I didn'
t invent it
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 03:05 esthlos: even with small C projects I start to panic when I realise I don'
t know how it works anymore
mircea_popescu: but, do not give managers a black eye. i for one often can'
t understand c.
phf: i sort of assumed (and that was sometimes topic of these derivative works) that mandate doesn'
t last more then a generation or two
phf: didn'
t we have a candi session!
ben_vulpes: freenode is the kludge; im not going to sink time into making *tronic bot that doesn'
t do auth itself because freenode doesn'
t like your host.
phf: well, . puts a zero and the 1-9A-F mutates the top, so you don'
t have to have state in the parser
phf: ascii: isn'
t ' a dup?
phf: i had that experience when i tried implementing an older spec of gossipd. i wrote it in C, actually CWEB, but i wasn'
t doing literate programming right, and after a while the whole thing became overwhelming.
esthlos: even with small C projects I start to panic when I realise I don'
t know how it works anymore
☟︎ esthlos: certainly I can'
t write elegant C tho
