Chillum: the "buttslol" password is from
a lulu lemon show, they sell the spanks that make girls ass look good when they are not
Chillum: BingoBoingo: I saw
a device that automatically sprayed water at birds and deer. Modify it
a bit and it will work against humanbs
Chillum: lol, the Victoria fire department(different than my dads) got
a water canon. First fire they took it out they fired it at
a window, missed and knocked down the wall
Chillum: I was 12 when my dad invited me to come along to
a fire. When we got there he made me get out fo the truck then pushed
a car away from
a fire hydrant with the truck
Chillum: you just need
a reason for the big tank
Chillum: my dad was
a fireman so he is always talking about this stuff
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It turns into
a crude glass and absorbs heat energy in the course of that. Worthless if on wooden desk, pretty useful if on bare concrete
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:29:20; trinque: chart
a course towards the smallest of them, and towards selling it as well
mircea_popescu: besides, 2% response rate ? web advertising does
a lot of fraud to come up to 0.1-0.3% CTR.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure. but even place with indications of value can hold
a lot.
Chillum: say you have sent out 10,000 spams to people and 200 answered. You put all the info about those people into it and who answer and who did not. It can then be given
a list of other people with the same kind of information and figure out who is more likely to respond
Chillum: it gives you
a score which you take with
a grain of salt. It is designed to be better than random, not perfect
Chillum: the tech has improved only
a little(mostly optimizations) since machine learning was invented
☟︎ Chillum: it has its limits but it find patterns in
a way not other computer technology can
BingoBoingo imagines NiFe in shitty rusted file cabinets in the shed with the lawnmower is
a much better place
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I mean fire's favorite direction is up. That and Lithium batteries have
a shit lifetime anyways.
Chillum: I am wracking my brain to think of
a good use for machine learning, I like to play with all the new AWS toys
mircea_popescu: "Basement is probably the worst place for
a massive battery bank and lithium worst way to do it." << word.
Chillum: and that the best way to simulate
a brain with
a computer is to simulate atoms, ie not very efficient
Chillum: early in computer science it was believed that computers were like brains and that with enough resources they could simulate one. As we progress it becomes more and more clear that brains are nothing like
a computer
mircea_popescu: anyway, re narrative pws : that's how wikileaks managed to lose control of
a db, innit.
BingoBoingo: whaack: To search for passwords against
a lsit of hashes of course
Chillum:
a lot of ebay auctions for top of the line video cards saying "Bought it for bitcoin mining, asics came out"
BingoBoingo: Hah,
a hack is when you use
a pck of dragonfly brains in parallel to acelerate the search for good porn.
Chillum: like
a computer shows something similar to
a face while monitoring your brainwaves and harvesting your computational data
Chillum: any password system with
a character limit should die
Chillum: the amount of information someone and relay to
a sketch artist about
a persons face is in the hundreds of Kb, but our brain has hardware acceleration for faces and we can't normalize the data ourselves
BingoBoingo: Chillum: Probably could be stronger if you take
a sentence from Kritik de Rheinen Vernuft and replace 10 of he words in sentence with diceware determined words.
Chillum: the bitcoin brain wallet with
a lot of deposits and withdrawls
Chillum: the idea is that humans can remember more entropy when it is in
a story form
Chillum: I saw
a nice talk about
a password creator that created small sentence fragments from very long lists of words. The user could enter the words in any order and with known mispellings and it would still pass. All while making sure you get the requested entropy
Chillum: though the vowel consonant grouping is
a bit suspicious
Chillum: given that the code in question was
a machine generated e-mail verification code I would say you should start eating someones pet
whaack: i use word lists for passwords, i have
a decent understanding of information theory
Chillum: 10^26 = 1.1447546×10²⁸ enough entropy for
a remote service
trinque: whaack: so I might have
a theory on why you can't keep your nicks
Chillum: on the internet, nobody knows you are
a dog
Chillum: that is
a very wide definition
Chillum: if she is
a pet then so am I
mircea_popescu: so if i feed lsd to
a cat it's gonna make
a good wife ?
Chillum: never known
a cat to help pay the rent
mircea_popescu: Chillum likely you just use the term in
a particular way i don't.
Chillum: so getting along with someone makes them
a pet? I think you skipped some logical steps there
Chillum: well I do, and she is proper and not
a pet
Chillum: "all the proper females ARE pets in good homes"... ever had
a wife?
mircea_popescu: you know, alligned with the entire irigaray " e = mc^2 is
a sexed equation"
mircea_popescu: rather than proceed from an imperative cause towards
a computation
mircea_popescu:
a processor that looks at what the EFFECTS of
a computation would be
mircea_popescu: how long before the current processor (that acts from cause) is replaced with
a new architecture, more femfriendly ?
assbot: Logged on 07-05-2014 03:00:40; mircea_popescu: this is like having
a 40 yo chick come to you for dancing lessons and you telling her "missing ingredient is you being 20". why tyvm, mr expert guy!
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs to me : clearly the femspeak for male being "sociopath", ie, one who does not care about the consequences (this is the basis of the rape debate - men will fuck women for
a cause, women wish to fuck towards
a purpose), and the problem with "women in tech" being the aridity of the field to the femstyle,
assbot: Logged on 07-05-2014 03:02:32; mircea_popescu: if you have 20 bux spare you'll get
a manicure, maybe you find some guy that's not an asshoel.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: whaack why would nickserv drop an account ? i never heard of this. << They drop registrations after just
a few weeks of disuse, because Freenode
mircea_popescu: i am fortunate in that having been here
a while, my ideas are already facts, so i can fall back on that lol.
Chillum: one of the great things about bitcoin services is that accounts are not strictly needed. For example you could send
a request to
a service without any authentication, it could respond with
a price and address
Chillum: but you would need
a deposit to make sure bids are real
trinque: mircea_popescu: indeed; that job was
a shitshow
mircea_popescu: only vaguely related, i wonder how well
a "bid for this space in bitcoin" display advertising thing would work.
Chillum: I am working on
a 8 channel wifi relay board
Chillum: now someone can find
a Lua code injection attack on your lamps webserver and use it to sniff your home network
Chillum: mircea_popescu: there is
a youtube video of
a guy making
a wifi controllable lamp
mircea_popescu: create
a corp to market interruptors with
a standard apache.
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:16:59; Chillum: but if you ever wanted to add
a webserver to your lamp, this is the device
mircea_popescu: uments" that his way of life is just great the way it is, it is
a pretty good sign that you let him set the agenda once he realized that his way of life was under threat. Since you have nothing to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware that you have been taken for
a ride befo
mircea_popescu: nly make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is
a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself and get through such experiences. Most people are not willing even to /listen/ to arguments or information that could threaten their comfortable view of their own existence, much less think about it, so when you cannot answer
a C programmer's "arg
mircea_popescu: "The core problem is that C programmers think they can get away with doing much less than the Common Lisp programmer causes the computer to do. But this is actually wrong. Getting C programmers to understand that they cause the computer to do less than minimum is intractable. They would not /use/ C if they understood this point, so if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of
a discussion, you will o
Chillum: I once made
a "boss detector" with
a raspberry pi. The bosses cell phone sent out wifi pings constantly, this told me if he was in wifi range by turning on
a red light
Chillum: it has
a 2ms wake-up time so it can be in low power sleep mode and just check every 10 seconds
Chillum: my raspberry pi gets 9 hours from
a small battery, the ESP8266 with
a low power gps receiver will run off
a small battery for days
whaack: nope definitely 2
a's, I'll pop in freenode
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:16:42; Chillum: mats: I am going to hook it to
a serial gps chip and make
a tiny super low power war walker
Chillum: did you perhaps have 1 or 3 "
a"s in your last username?
whaack: Is there
a way to prevent NickServ from dropping my account? It says I'm not registered now
Chillum: If you ever want to include
a scripting language in an embedded device but don't have
a lot of resources to spare, that is what lua was made for
Chillum: the old version was C only and that was great, now they have
a lua interpreter which makes handling network connections so much easier
Chillum: they get over
a kilometer without an ext ant, more with
Chillum: there are several models,
a few have external antenna ports
