mircea_popescu: "yeah but it also misses the point" "WE ARE THE EMPIRE OF MISSING THE POINT!!!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform takes a year to make a wine cask, and five minutes to take a piss in it.
mircea_popescu: here, live and for the first time in the world, i give you the manuel blum & santosh vempala silicone model of brain computation : https://68.media.tumblr.com/45271fd5a728dffd2aff8ec6e37e12ab/tumblr_nnztkqVQlT1untuzto1_400.gif
mircea_popescu: not like much brighter minds than these two belated if unemployagble schmucks TRIED THAT TO DEATH
mircea_popescu: if it were fucking functional, it'd have been done in the 60s already.
asciilifeform: gotta say it, the 'human functions' thing is a sphericalhorse snoar.
mod6: lel, the trackless wastes one is pretty good.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, the discussion's in there.
mircea_popescu: !#s two calorie dragonfly
mircea_popescu: whole fucking point of human brain is to avoid the walls of computation.
mircea_popescu: wtf is that to do with anything, above and beyond "our ai consists of think()" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have a whole gallery of mostly females that swallowed long silicone strands "in their head"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mnemonists, various stage magicians, computed respectably long arithmetizations in heads. but this d00d seems to concern with 'people'
mircea_popescu: wtf is this idiocy.
mircea_popescu: got little bird cannons and erry thing, bird firing range, variety of "Standard" walls, brick, whatever.
mircea_popescu: this is like people frustrated they can't make airplanes, deciding to create a "through-wall bird model of flight", proceeding to prove birds don't "fly" in the sense of, "through walls".
mircea_popescu: people don't fucking compute in their heads.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: subj is about 'compute in their heads'
mircea_popescu: anyway : ready way to blow this out of water. human can compute mpfhf by hand ; not reversable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and predictably they've no idea what "a step" is./
asciilifeform: 'Why this particular number? The intent here is to have as example a SPECIFIC MEMORABLE number (in this case, Avogadro’s number) that is roughly the minimum size sufficient to keep adversaries at bay – adversaries that have a week’s time on the fastest 2016-17 supercomputer, which in January 2017 can do 1017 petaflops/sec = 6x10^22 flops/week. In general, the specific number will depend on current technology.'
asciilifeform: 'Specifically, we restrict supercomputer adversaries to at most 1024 (Avogadro’s number) steps' << wai
mod6: here's the precipitation chart: https://www.climatestations.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/MSPPRCP.gif
mod6: it does seem, aside from this year, that we have gotten more rain recently.
mircea_popescu: i expect i have seen 5 to 10k hours of solid tropical rain the past three months.
mod6: but this chart seems to indicate that during the 60s-mid-80s we had higher-than-normal snowfall over the interval: https://www.climatestations.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/mspsnow2.jpg
mircea_popescu: well, you're welcome to take all this water back any time.
mod6: related to this, it had seemed to me that since i've moved back to mn, we've gotten a lot less snow than what i remember as a kid in the 80s.
mircea_popescu: 3x sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: in other not-rly-lulz, global warming or no, it is definitely A LOT rainier in costa rica than it was 10-15 years ago
asciilifeform: the work of a d00d who spraypaints gusts of flame onto toyota to 'make race car'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681875 << this is actually a pretty strong line of argument. "not the work of a programmer, but the work of a designer." ☝︎
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/love-in-an-elevator/ << Trilema - Love in an elevator
mod6: i totally have.
asciilifeform: try writing it sometime. that'll cureya
asciilifeform: ( sadly heathen gas syntax. currently i do not know if this can be changed to godly nasm )
asciilifeform: mod6 et al : moar gnatology for fun an' profit : add -S -fverbose-asm to your -cargs to replace .o output with readable asmolade ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the song, you mean ? or the spurious reinterpretation into "moral" ?
asciilifeform: instrument of all living things.
mircea_popescu: song. instrument of the purposuit crowd.
mircea_popescu: "But the real morals of the story is that one must be able to employ every little part of the animal you kill, like the man does… so that womenz can stuff that many more people into thje same fucking acre. won't you be happy then!"
a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 03:15 mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks for the suggestion, I shall think on it.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681775 << i'm happy to configure donated hardware to be useful to the republic; if machines need a home i can arrange for that as well ☝︎
BingoBoingo: To find the answer we, in the tradition of our peoples, must consult the ever informative mengele files
BingoBoingo: You might refrain, lesser homo spaiens may end up freed when their balls decay to the point the leads are no longer attached
mod6: If my keyboard would zap me everytime I misspelled a word, I'd like to think that I'd refrain.
mod6: The Chi^2 test should be interesting to see what percentile it falls into and weather this butts up against Knuth's "suspicious" boundary.
mod6: see if I can sneak one past the golie.
mod6: indeed, did fail with some resonably expected outputs from each test. i'll have to try it again with doing like 100 consecutive 1's per Mb.
mod6: so one day, i did do a test of ent with like ~1gb worth of '1's in a file just to see if the testing tool would hork.
mircea_popescu: do your part to keep america relevant, soviet.
mircea_popescu: all the teams sucked this superbowl so please focus all discussion on some aging mulatto's nipple slip ty.
mircea_popescu: they're forking the etherwebs over there. plox care.
asciilifeform: so far, only mop and bucket time.
mod6: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like sword & axe time.
mod6: DONT DELAY! SECURE YOUR FUPA TODAY!
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 15:30 asciilifeform: in yet-other lulz, https://archive.is/mcaLO >> 'NEW YORK -- Sheila Abdus-Salaam, an associate judge on New York state's highest court and the first African-American woman to serve on that bench, was found dead Wednesday in the Hudson River, authorities said. ... became the first Muslim judge in the United States when she started serving on the state Supreme Court in 1994 ... On the court, Abdus-Salaam was among the most reliable and
asciilifeform: dun seem to have made it into tehl0gz
asciilifeform: everybody laughs at the french, but when's the last time somebody solved american judge
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dun worry alf, momstate's on top of things an' relevant an' errything.
asciilifeform: lol the original 'get them idiot orcses usin' diddled crypto' nsavictory

asciilifeform: like the thing nvidia ships with its turdballs.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681859 << from my pov this proggy dun actually ~do~ anything other than being a skin on top of google's libs ☝︎
shinohai: Still conveniently runs *everything* as suid 0, last time I checked.
asciilifeform: '...a barebone Ubuntu operating system that runs under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which is mainly targeted at developers who don't want to build a dual-boot machine running both Windows 10 and the latest Ubuntu Linux release.' lol

mircea_popescu: the advantage of cryptography is that you can say "all messages are 64kb" or w/e.
sina: another random thing I made https://github.com/sinner-/tinykv
a111: Logged on 2017-07-09 17:12 phf: arbitrarily sized numbers are a variable sized type. gotta figure out ~some~ way of packing them. you're essentially left with type tagged size variation (if a byte is 0, then next struct is 8byte, if a byte is 1, then next struct is 16byte), but at the end you still will end up falling back to "read this number to know how many bytes to read"
sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-09#1681116 << AFAIK there are only three methods of handling this, either read header bytes which specify how many bytes to read, or read until a newline-type char or read a fixed number of bytes. would be interested in discussing that further if others know of better ways to handle, it's an interesting problem. I guess reading a fix number of bytes is preferable. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-08 20:13 trinque: what it lacks (at least as part of the CLOS standard, afaik) is a standard for how one CLOS program shares objects and methods with another, whether on same box or across the network.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-05 15:50 phf: oh flag, lets you pass this stuff as a command line argument.. i guess this approach works too. i'm not sure why i can't just do message = string(dat) but i'm too lazy to figure it out
sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-05#1679224 << I dunno what "dat" constitutes in this case, but you can pass in any data just by the line "M := toBinArray(*message)" and sub out *message for dat ☝︎
sina: I am imagining you shaking the guy who wrote that blog by the shoulders and screaming DO YOU in his face
mircea_popescu: "this is super useful for any definition of useful that reduces to utterly fucktarded."
sina: I have been watching the logs, interesting discussions
sina: anyway, hi and all that
sina: makes me feel, so tired.
sina: https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2017/07/11/meshcommander-firmware-web-application << "Starting with Intel AMT 11, you can now upload a web application into the firmware that will replace the built-in index.htm page. This is super useful because you can upload a fairly complete Intel AMT management console into the firmware and access it using a browser. "
mircea_popescu: what thing
sina: I just popped in to complain about this thing and I feel like nobody else I know will understand
BingoBoingo: And it helps to link to the linking to later for our good friend Maxwell Lulz esq.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeh, just sayin' for teh eternal records.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the grand plan for june was "bitcoin prices drop while ethereum to the moon". it worked as well as the "liberation" of some town of a name i meanwhile forgot it was so long.
BingoBoingo: Well, gotta cover the frog boiling and insert the rock hard truth when it's raep
mircea_popescu: at this point 50-50 odds they'll manage to scare up the funds necessary to keep the charade going a little longer
mircea_popescu: ie, usg attempting to fight bitcoin with ether will result in usg "bitcoin" exchanges bubble popping instead.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-22 07:44 mircea_popescu: to satisfy http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-20#1672531 -- try and fuck with btc price, discover eth "price" was a joke all along.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo irl, the "exchanges" were used to try and pop the "bitcoin bubble" http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-22#1673315 ; as a result they're trading while insolvent (on the btc side). ☝︎

BingoBoingo: So "tampering" charge is all that's left for oppression apparatus to pursue
BingoBoingo: Girls tend to get the opportunity to graduate to "tampering with motor vehicle" i.e. stealing man's car to drug faster and man staying pissed long enoug to file charges, but not long enough to press for Grand Theft Auto
mircea_popescu: ~same as hopping subway turnstile
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> modern equiv prolly 'bike thief' << In my experience people taking bikes dun really get attached to them. Bike was there and they could use it to go drug faster.
asciilifeform: ( ever use 'mule' w4r3znet? that's still the state of the art... )
