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: 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.
mod6: lel,
the
trackless wastes one is pretty good.
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"
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: 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./
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.
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: 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
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the song, you mean ? or
the spurious reinterpretation into "moral" ?
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!"

thanks for
the suggestion, I shall
think on it.
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: all
the
teams sucked
this superbowl so please focus all discussion on some aging mulatto's nipple slip
ty.
mod6: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like sword & axe
time.
mod6: DONT DELAY! SECURE YOUR FUPA
TODAY!

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

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dun worry alf, momstate's on
top of
things an' relevant an' errything.
shinohai: Still conveniently runs *everything* as suid 0, last
time I checked.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-08#1680863 << it kind of sounds like an erlang cluster? except I guess you are looking for a network of untrusted nodes while erlang cluster all nodes are
trusted
mircea_popescu: the advantage of cryptography is
that you can say "all messages are 64kb" or w/e.
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.

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: 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: 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: 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.
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
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.
