asciilifeform: shinohai: 'Above all Dr Craig Wright is humble, kind and generous. Although its widely accepted that the Bitcoin developers are brilliant engineers. A major problem is that the developers have horrible and nasty personalities. Dr Wright is generous, humble, calm, polite and above all nice. Bitcoin will therefore hugely benefit from Dr Wright returning to more actively participate in Bitcoin engineering and research. ' didjaknow!! ☟︎
asciilifeform: you can demonstrate that this is turing-complete.
asciilifeform: in fact, here's a new (afaik) scheme for tta. an instruction is THREE addresses, X, Y, Z. and it performs Z := X xor Y. ☟︎
shinohai: Oh lawd this is fucking brilliant: http://hoaxchain.com/aboutus1.html
asciilifeform: which is > than sufficient for many immediate purposes.
asciilifeform: and have effective horsepower of, say, a 50Mhz 486, in the end.
asciilifeform: whole thing could run under a hundy.
asciilifeform: ( load the tables into sram on warmup... )
asciilifeform: arithmetical operations can be tabletronic.
asciilifeform: a basic ttatron needs maybe 6 of these, plus a few glue gates.
asciilifeform: ( see also thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-16#1656785 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: not only photographed, but there is a 'chemical' level sim of it
mircea_popescu: pretty sure it was peeled and photograpphed my multiple teams.
asciilifeform: ( tiny width and no multiplier )
mircea_popescu: sure, small items like that.
asciilifeform: the unfortunate bit that it is ~useless for crypto
asciilifeform: ftr i'm satisfied that 6502 was fully known.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hence the ttacpu thread.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677358 << no fully documented cpu was made in the past 30 years ; and possibly at all. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:48 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677070 << and that's when you realize that the ~adult~ gossipd is a 150x moar complicated item.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677355 << nothing wrong with either lobe of that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: whereas calories are calories -- body worth something to ant.
asciilifeform: i worked ( still on occasion do ) with elderly phd d00d who grew up in rural india , first childhood job - collecting, drying cowshit to fuel funeral pyres with
mircea_popescu: counterintuitively, cheaper to bury.
asciilifeform: ( not to be confused with same item in aviation )
mircea_popescu: it is, at that!
mircea_popescu: there's also that.
asciilifeform: trinque: often it suffices to burn down the sty, not to clean it.
trinque: can go into the sty, but avoid fondness for shit as a coping mechanism
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wright, chowdhra, et al would have considerably moar lulzpotential if they ever had gotten hold of, say, a key or two
mircea_popescu: to clean the shit gotta be able to straddle the shitsty.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677339 << tell you what, i know but i don't that computers suck. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: before that, they were still in denial, "oh, it's just a nose bleed, we get these naturally, fist was incidental".
mircea_popescu: ~the time they got bitchslapped so hard they bled internally.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: d00d's been at this for years neh
mircea_popescu: it's an entirely spurious claim, of course, but then it's an entirely spurious criminal org making it, so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re that wright "i totally was fondled by bitcoin in a hotel room he was occupying" imbecile : i suppose the backup claim of "well, bitcoin now patented! terrorists!" just in case "everything else" keeps blowing up is being "serviced".
mircea_popescu: this is why people even get their own fucking head and their own history in the first place -- so that such great stories can occur.
asciilifeform: hey it's how folx grow fond of their, e.g. mothers
mircea_popescu: there's nothing whatever wrong with "woman took me to sushi. it was a restaurant, she didn't even cook it, or work there, or pay. and yes people have been having sushi far longer than they've been having hamburger but it was my first time and i'll always remember her fondly, notwithstanding she died of an overdose while trying to rob a kindergarten at gunpoint (she thought she was inside the bank next door)."
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:20 Framedragger: this ad hominem (some ad hominems are completely valid, that i understand) is orthogonal to technical knowledge and its conveyance to other people. i know that there is no apolitical knowledge and you maybe can't separate the two, but i think sometimes it's possible, to an extent.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677335 << not dispositive or anything, not even relevant to anything, but now i'm totally curious : what was this knowledge even ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "praise pantsuit trans-jeebus, justice was served!"
mircea_popescu: "yes, i think we might!"
mircea_popescu: "hey usg criminal organisation, would you like to back up the false claims made by some random new york hotel whore/maid you picked up specifically to make those false claims ???"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:21 shinohai: "Wright also reiterated that he’s ready to take legal action against those who have ridiculed his claim of being the creator of Bitcoin, which he made back in 2016. "
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677336 << ahahaha he's going to take LEGAL ACTION is he now ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:18 trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677141 << hadn't had a chance to pick it up for a bit; got time this weekend though. item I've got can maintain balances, send and mark-paid invoices. I think I'll handle deposits manually and call that a first cut, trb address tracking without a privkey isn't there yet.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677331 << lotta ground to cover yeah huh. aite. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i'ma have to raise the busy wire on this one
mircea_popescu: a leg is as good as a twat for a blind bad

mircea_popescu: his google's broken, this guy.
mircea_popescu: well, do you agree that had you seen her AND had your reaction been "omfg i gotta tap dat ass!" you... would be sure ?
mircea_popescu: have you seen the piece of ass in discussion ? isis lovecruft chick ?
asciilifeform: i suspect that we differ on subj
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:16 Framedragger: more like, i learned things from her
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677329 << nothing wrong with that, and there's no requirement for a unified saint book either. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: cheaper better looking eagerlier ass awaits barefoot in the jungle.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 14:54 trinque: you didn't even get to bang Iris Buttcruft did you.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677323 << implying someone'd want to ; which... ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: well most of it in the 'adjust yer expectations' direction
mircea_popescu: there is promise in the hardware sea!
a111: Logged on 2016-12-14 19:05 asciilifeform: not only could it, but there's been a d00d serving up his www on a pic16f84, via slip, since 1990s...
asciilifeform: e.g. 'do you really need a box that plays solitaire? maybe one that simply adds 32768-bit numbers reasonably quickly and outputs answer at 115200 baud, will suffice !' etc
mircea_popescu: "don't try to use the king's own mail system (with incantations! and lemon juice!) to get your dope -- not have problems with getting your dope". and so on.
asciilifeform: the first step is to reconsider the traditional 'konsoomer assumptions'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's by now a well established fact through republican practice, this original idea that "all the benefits of non-usg, you get by simply making non-consumer choices".
mircea_popescu: "oh, quantum computer can like, totally break things and what was it ?" ehehehe
asciilifeform: also nicely illustrates 'specificity of diddling'. you buy a bucket of 74xxxxolade. enemy wants to diddle'em en route -- but which ONES? and how ? ( he has nfi where each set of gates will end up going in the scheme )
asciilifeform: aha, see the 'egyptological' ffa posted last month
asciilifeform: theretically only need adder in there.
mircea_popescu: a breadbox like that'd be actually worth buying.
asciilifeform: sorta what i've been swimming towards for past yr or 2
mircea_popescu: "what do you think 4Gz means, bitch ? you do 4 billion rsa per second."
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, this breadbox may qwell be clock-speed fast when doing rsa, none of those second bs of python running on 8 bit "optimal" intel-me
mircea_popescu: yes this is a great idea actually!
asciilifeform: what do you think ffa is prototype of !
asciilifeform: it is possible to multiply, for instance, in O(1)
mircea_popescu: oh you can do that, hm
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rsa looks harder than it is because of the ludicrously short machineword of the pc
mircea_popescu: this tta would cost more in floorspace rent than in object items.
asciilifeform: phuctor is not the objective imho
mircea_popescu: cost turns out to have been unreliably measured.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you think.
asciilifeform: no such thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's reasonably priced in numbers rather than unicode ?
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 14:51 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677304 << 100% tru. ("at least i got paid a bit for it", but myeah.)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677321 << the problem with one's life is that pay's never enough in retrospect. ☝︎
asciilifeform: to revisit the tta cpu thing : i investigated 'can haz ecl?' and found reasonably priced 4+GHz discrete logic
asciilifeform: sumbody with a track record of folx actually answering... plox ping the d00d
mircea_popescu: a wot with a few respectable old timers in would be significantly stronger than their individual market value.
mircea_popescu: (as an aside, i don't expect any of these fucktards, gilmore, bernstein, whatever, even remotely give enough of a shit about anything not tittlating their anal orifices, BUT! it'd help me fucking immensely if they actually were in, because of sybil considerations. but they dun wanna, becausew why should the world not stink.)
mircea_popescu: i was mocking that the other day!
mircea_popescu: !!key toad
asciilifeform: '...have spent a lot of time working on crypto export control issues. led the team that built the world's first publicly announced DES Cracker...' etc
