ben_vulpes: i am wearing a john deere meshback
as we speak
ben_vulpes: mostly i know because i won't let them talk to me
as though i were the twitterbox; 'tis the reason the relationships have all persisted
as long
as they have.
mircea_popescu: a psychopath, you see, is one whose intellectual development arrested at a very early stage, baby looks at its mother's eyes and doth not perceive aught past the glass. a socialmediapath, however, is one who simply forgot there is such a thing
as people.
mircea_popescu: yes, but how do you know they're not talking to you
as if you were the twitterbox ?
mircea_popescu: the vastness bag of possibilities presented by human genetics far far FARRRRR outstrips any vastness commonly contemplated, such
as "how many atoms there are in the universe". this does not make it infinite, no, but there's much ado can be fit in the space between two "very large"s.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Average dude doesn't have to much much selecting
as to which pipes to be stacked with in order to beat complete lack of selection
BingoBoingo: Even if mommy-ho is
as per ben_vulpes description "a mountain of meat"
mircea_popescu: it's unworkable, but only nowadays that tmsr is here. before its invention, it was just
as workable
as pulling plow by hand.
phf: there's no хруст французской булки nobility, it's
as much of a su invention
as the idea that workers&farmers built space program
mats: i mean the expansion of their commercial influence
as a general example of an empire of soft power
mircea_popescu: "omg my future! it is ruined!" "wtf do you think futures are, like orgasms ?" "yeah...
as a matter of fact... i do!"
mircea_popescu: mats depends what you mean by "Soft power". if by soft power you mean something
as seen in the graduate, or for that matter in that lulzy thing with a 19yo tom cruise pimping out de mornay & friends, ie what teh parents are doing, i'll tell you tis outright despicable.
mircea_popescu: and i've no problem whatsoever with china in the political sense. nor much clue
as to actual life there, who knows, maybe they're great.
mircea_popescu: or
as ballas put it, "jobs other than science and medicine seem unreal to you"
mircea_popescu: separation seems to work splendidly on own power, just
as soon
as alternative is perceived.
mircea_popescu: but,
as teh old article says, "but then again nothing in the world harder & more obdurate than the limits a brain sets for itself"
mircea_popescu: moreover, the issue is purely cultural, which is why the 1st gen in shoes keeps cropping up. trinque manifestly COULD meaningfully learn human lang once separated from his culture,
as the logs bear testimony, and this is 1/1 ie 100%.
mircea_popescu: and that's a minor example. consider rothbard's utter failure to mean or matter,
as sadly chronicled on trilema. yes, he's intellectually negligible, but the chief problem that renders him moot is the extreme poverty and ineptitude of his references! which is not his problem, but the 1st gen in shoes folks' problem, and the deep reason us can't and hasn't spoken in the forum of human thought.
mircea_popescu: (the measure for "industrial civ" here used is, the type of answer to the problem of "i need three times the force". if it's "hire three times the coolies/horses/etc then pre-ind civ ; if it's "build bigger machine" it's industrial civ ; if the question not even conceptualized
as such then it's not a civ, like say africa/polynesia/other subhumans)
mircea_popescu: but no, i don't think the item
as described is useless. if you need a new key in less than a week / if your message lag is mostly this you've other problems to attend to.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
as long
as you do rsa, a ^ b mod m = either a ^ b or else, a ^ b - m. that's the complete story, there are no other cases. there's specifically no k * m parameter to be explored there.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 05:29 phf: my mom had one of those "papa escaped the purges by burning all paperwork but life got tough when they took our governess" piano teachers, who would lament about being forced to teach peasants and brown folk, not on racial grounds
as much
as "you have to have a bidet in your house for 3 generations, before you can touch a piano"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-17 11:34 mircea_popescu: the whole fucking POINT of french revolution was "we can make things -- soldiers, arms for those soldiers, culture for their fathers and wives, CHEAPER and MORE ABUNDANT if we chinese it." "but will it be
as good ?" "i can't hear you over the kanzure of my superficiality"
mircea_popescu: obviously, it won't be
as good, in the obvious sense that you don't need frenchmen to do it, can have it done in yugoslavia cheaper. and by yugoslavia i mean poland which is to say china.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: "In the best moment of her life the hand that penned Are Men Necessary reached out and yanked one of those hooped earrings loose from its fleshy mooring. No sooner had I—Maureen Dowd with a memory of being a man—pulled the fake bangle back to that hated breast
as the earlobe separated into two hanging gyro strips, the big brown fist that could have belonged to a heavyweight boxer crashed into that sanctimonious mouth, forever removin
PeterL: With RSA-OAEP, one can encrypt messages whose bit-length is up to just a few hundred bits less than the number of bits in the RSA modulus, yielding a ciphertext whose size is the same
as that of the RSA modulus. << It sounds like he is using a smaller amount of random bits than we are?
mircea_popescu: the problem with the spec
as-is is that you can't actually have a message of the same bitsize
as the key, but must make it -1 ; this appears to be mentioned exactly NOWHERE, which is moderately concerning.
mircea_popescu: for
as long
as he keeps with that, nothing can happen (tm)
mircea_popescu: i told the girly where to shove it, and she had to "ask" and whatnot. just
as he was coming back witrh the "oh, no id needed anymore" updated policy i was getting the doorman to open the fucking door before i crack it open with his face.
jhvh1: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-20 20:56 mircea_popescu: ~everyone there's sick of the "rich" arab nations
as of crab apples.
mircea_popescu: it's ~ what "causes, not purposes" does irl,
as a forinstance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the boxen : the correct solution to "how much box" is, on the basis of both practical observation (every time tought, either
as science, or
as art, or
as political work worked to date ; not to mention coral growth and everything else)
as well
as theoretical understanding is to provide SPURS instead of walls.
mircea_popescu: it is purely theoretical!
as in theoretical physics theoretical.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing
as information theoretical, seeing how information has an actual thermodynamic backing.
BingoBoingo: Well Hussein Bahamas is just
as much CIA creature
as Bush I, in that way more Bush than W. was
mircea_popescu: somehow the earlier "change you can believe in" / "hope and change" blue usg brought to congo
as obama I never stuck to them.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's also what Mobutu Sese Seko misgendernamed the Congo
as a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 19:29 mircea_popescu: that "trademark" is now owned by unilever,
as you might've guessed, and it's used to sell items in qatar,
as you might've also guessed. the point being that the poor rich arabs are trying to salvage whatever's left of the tsar's pile of salvaged material, today.
shinohai: It takes time to accustom oneself to the vernacular here, reading logs back
as far
as you dare will help.
mircea_popescu:
as if there even could fucking be such a thing,
as an intellectual, ie, somehow who cultivates his mind, who is left, which is to say dedicated to stupidity.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> most of what's in wapo, nyt, et al is just samely formulaic
as pravda front matter tho << But NYT, WAPO, etc are only INTERNALLY concordant. Reconciling the different NYT and WAPO creativities is noise generation
mircea_popescu:
as none of this has anything to do with reality, none of it is in any way beneficial, but 100% overhead.
mircea_popescu: perfectly reasonable in economic terms,
as they cost more than they make, but entirely incomprehensible in jew press terms, because they really thought they were princesses, somehow.
mircea_popescu: so then 1, for phuctor, 1tb item ; 1 for special purpose amd,
as much
as it can carry, and 2 run of the mill, what's to be found at a decent price.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-15 01:05 mircea_popescu: and you can do your own seals,
as a bonus. at the very least have the girl blow on some nail polish.
mircea_popescu: and you can do your own seals,
as a bonus. at the very least have the girl blow on some nail polish.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now
as to the other point : since you're making it for yourself, see if you can cram 1TB of ram in there for the phuctor box ?
mircea_popescu: and
as tempting
as it may be TO THE NAIVE, this "oh, i found an actually workable one" is what we've been doing for years. there's people in the logs vouching for cherry servers, the FUCKTARDS who outlook.com their email and so following.
mircea_popescu: much like dns, and for the same reasons
as the dns, it does not serve us.
mircea_popescu: if it has doubts
as to its physical location, it is an isp not a dc.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o lol look at that, btc down 17%, ethereum 20, bitcoin crash 25, litecoin 30. it's like harmonics. << Ah yeah, just USD noise spike. All altcoins have a few of those
as they die
pete_dushenski: anyone tried "superbithost" ? they have servers available in non-nato lands (eg. argentina, south africa, dubai), accept btc, and
as of may 2017 will accept fuckgoats units by mail to the three aforementioned locales.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 03:21 mircea_popescu: the wireball idea is sound ; the rest of the crap... notrly. i'd say it's been already fully recorded
as is.
BingoBoingo: Of interest
as indictment fodder, which is why deliberation of how to go from fence to BUILD THE WALL takes time.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> prolly suffices if you avoid 'hard landings' lol << fwiw too, i use my chair
as low
as it goes. fully decompressed.
mod6: the dial im futzing with doesn't have any thing to do with the piston (
as far
as i can see)
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 05:57 mircea_popescu: trinque always struck me
as a case of "i know these people are right but i don't want them to be" internal tension.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Should be

as well, "Appliquons aux sciences politiques et morales la méthode fondée sur l'observation et sur le calcul, méthode qui nous a si bien servis dans les sciences naturelles. N'opposons point une résistance inutile et souvent dangereuse aux effets inévitables du progrès des lumières ; mais ne changeons qu'avec une circonspection extrême nos institutions et les us
☝︎ mircea_popescu: no, sanity. wtf would everything live in same place
as trilema ?
mircea_popescu: the wireball idea is sound ; the rest of the crap... notrly. i'd say it's been already fully recorded
as is.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, his point stands -- absent any qualitative understanding, ie for a black box world, the probability
as declared is the best approximation. this is no small matter, at all.
mircea_popescu: (no, "global warming" is absolutely not novel ; the same sort of cathar nonsense was prevalent in all ages of great pretense and low literacy, usuallyu known
as dark ages)
shinohai: No reason at all. asciilifeform is lucky to have petz,
as am I.
