mircea_popescu: yes, but rather than have an a-b-c threaded thing where if b dies a immediately follows, you might
as well have a cleanner and neater abc.
mircea_popescu: orlando, florida co. and exactly biofilm not dc,
as a separate concern.
spyked: mircea_popescu, re comment, had no idea this happened. I'll admit I haven't followed him (digested a few, such
as the "ma fut in ea de ploaie" piece), so will review.
mircea_popescu: he's perhaps the best example in this vein, even if not
as well known
as say MGM cartoon division.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 02:03 mircea_popescu: i confess i tried to introduce `tickmarks into my process
as such, but it ends up ~looking~ fucking retarded. i'm not even know if it just looks that way but isn't, or actually is. huge inertia against it though.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 05:01 mircea_popescu: "when my wife saw how many bottles of wine i bought for new year's, she bid me take them to the bathroom and dump them down the drain. i did
as she said, because the wife is that person one shares with all life's happiness and unhappines. and sadness. and misfortune. and catastrophe. and all other disasters that wouldn't have happened had one not married."
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to "i suck so much, they keep bumping me to various projects"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: much much more vulnerable to trump than the liberal "endowments" ie hedge funds masquerading
as universities.
mircea_popescu: iirc, they've all been struggling for economic relevancy in the past decade, if this even vaguely proves itself
as a mass movement the whole shitshow's canned overnight.
BingoBoingo: Oh, the sportsball players didn't stand for the song of country before game in protest of "Police r mean to us black folk"
as they had been for the last couple weeks. Mike Pence went to game and left before it started.
mircea_popescu: "protector" of youth that sees no problem
as long
as the cumguzzler is black etc.
mircea_popescu: it's really hard not to like the chinese, try
as one might.
mircea_popescu: and if it gets cut, the logparser sure
as fuck has no way to fix it now.
mircea_popescu: however,
as a chat anchoring convention i could actually get myself to do it,
as that's 99% of what i wish i could do and currently can't, frustrates me once a week with some regularity.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 18:17 apeloyee: compute the higher part of product X*Y
as XHi*YHi+ShiftRight(XLo*YHi+XHi*YLo, K), where K is size of XLo and YLo
apeloyee:
as usual, if primitives don't leak- this won't leak anything but the small primes. this is obvious. or are we doing associativity proof in peano arithmetic or other hair-shirt arcana (c)
mircea_popescu: if your expectation is that the fifth attempt did not resolve the problem in a manner such
as the fifth million would, there's deeper problems.
mircea_popescu:
as per the ancient "doctor, random things in the house are talking to me, am i losing it ?" "have you started answering ?" "not yet" "then not yet"
apeloyee: if you have N ffa-eligible tests, bailing early out after one of them failed is not a problem.
as per above.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee no, because
as he well points out, the time it takes is not unrelated to the key.
mircea_popescu: so this is more a r-m problem altogether.
as that's not linear.
apeloyee:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-07#1722397 << I was unclear. Let A be the number to be reduced mod N, R the approximate reciprocal, K the ffa bitness fitting the modulus, then we know that 0<A - N*floor(A*R/4^K) < 2*N <2^(K+1). So might
as well calculate A - N*floor(A*R/4^K) modulo 2^(K+1).
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 00:38 asciilifeform: mod6: you will notice that the barrett in 'crc handbook' is more complicated : it shrinks the x and then compensates later. this relies on normalization , and constanttimeized incarnation of it would have to work
as apeloyee described ( i'ma try it much later, once i see what can be had re speed strictly from having asymmetric karatsuba instead of the current mega-waste )
apeloyee: compute the higher part of product X*Y
as XHi*YHi+ShiftRight(XLo*YHi+XHi*YLo, K), where K is size of XLo and YLo
☟︎ trinque: that'll change, but
as part of limiting the thing to this channel only
mircea_popescu: i don't think such a thing
as randfomly polarized female wave ever existed or ever could exist.
mircea_popescu: something. consider actual live events : gorbachev says at the meeting, once they move on past his insistence on having visited the pope
as if anyone gave a shit about that "we are all here, who were implicated in the czech affair, except romania, that had exited then".
mircea_popescu: guy never saw himself
as much more of a su ally than saudis see themselves us allies i dun suspect.
mircea_popescu: and he also wasn't impressed with gorbachev;s verbiage
as to "disarmament", seeing how romania was spending about 3% of pib on arms in the 85-90 5year plan, whereas ussr had never went under 30% yet.
mircea_popescu: this was reported (via the entirely irrelevant "sources" of talbot, beshloss & co)
as "the agitation of stalinist tirant" at warsaw, "unhappy with the us-euro offensive to liquidate communism".
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a pile of disinfo and general crap surrounding the events.
as an example : on 2-3 dec gorbachev hung out with bush on a soviet ship. on 4th, there was the wasaw pact meeting. gorbachev was well excited of whatever, the new bulgarian (mladenov, his college pal) and generally the western press coverage.
mircea_popescu: phf if you had a blog and time you could sit down to do the whole discussion of that so
as to inform future policymaking above and beyond simple amoebic continuation.
phf: fwiw all our production lisp runs on sbcl, including btcbase.
as much
as i'm pimping cmucl, it's not "modern" enough to host a website on unix. i still think it's a better target for a hypothetical on the iron common lisp
spyked: anyway, I have much of Scheme in head. I'm looking at tinyscheme mostly to figure out what "subset of r5rs" they've implemented. though I'm expecting tinyscheme subset isn't necessarily the same
as tmsr-needed subset.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter rife,
as in "rife with fleas" is how english says "full of low hanging fruit".
spyked liked ripe moar.
as in, full of low-hanging fruit
a111: Logged on 2017-10-01 04:06 mircea_popescu: "If pet food companies used the same business model
as startups: Jim creates a dog food factory and gives away dog food for free. 450 million dogs line up for free dog food. Purina Dog Chow understands that non-paying dog food consumers are currency, and buys Jims factory for $42 per dog." << in other historical elaineo lulz.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 19:14 mircea_popescu: sorry asciilifeform . all i have are my own notes, which are
as all hand notes useless without hte backing of the library of origin (in this case, the universitary library of cluj). teh interwebs dun seem to have a "here's the list of trotsky letters".
mircea_popescu:
as no 0 led or 0 terminated string will ever pass anyway
a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 21:09 apeloyee: asciilifeform: turns out a simple, ffa-suitable O(N^2) algorithm exists for GCD. This is adapted from GMP docs with one extra operation in the loop:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/oupUJ/?raw=true . Note: the code
as posted is likely wrong, but I'm sure the idea can be made to work.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 16:49 mircea_popescu: my guess is that it's
as close to closed form solutions
as possible, hence all the barrett fucking etc, but then again i'm a weak programmer and a very dubious mathematician.

☟︎ mod6: well, if you walk for 2/3h per day, maybe don't think of them
as "shoes". perhaps, "proper foot equipment" or something.
mircea_popescu: mod6 most shoes here (
as in romania,
as in egypt,
as in etc) are ~30.
mircea_popescu: he can shoot 60 losers for me just
as well
as he can push paper for dimon.
