BingoBoingo: Also the media noise today is full of "dreamers" as though that's what anchor bebes were always called.
ben_vulpes: now if these remote outposts were made of stone perhaps this would be less of a concern, but they gotta be made cheaply, and out of the same vinyl as the rest of the shitboard housing stock
ben_vulpes: nevermind that if one just let the dead wood burn out every five years as god intended the beetles would be vastly less numerous and their impact negligible
mircea_popescu: as they say, if you're not going up you're thereby going down, and indeed - the unmaturing avortons are not merely stationary, but regressive.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710829 << o ya, us.net is about as broken as china's. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-09-05 13:25 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in monkeystan, https://archive.is/6t8bO >> 'The NYPD has to scrap the 36,000 smartphones it gave cops over the past two years because they’re already obsolete and can’t be upgraded, The Post has learned. The city bought Microsoft-based Nokia smartphones as part of a $160 million NYPD Mobility Initiative that Mayor Bill de Blasio touted as “a huge step into the 21st century.”'

jhvh1: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

asciilifeform: 12:36 < TMA> eb3c90: which somewhat bothers me, because I feel I need to be autonomous, for I am unable to cooperate meaningfully [as measured by not ripping off/not being ripped off]
trinque: asciilifeform: http://archive.is/LTf4O << relatedly "We see it as a stepping stone to a future where central banks issue their own [cryptocurrency] at some point." says UBS reptile
hanbot: ty phf, i'll try that. also the bot identifies as me (grouped to my acct); if it was expecting bot's nick maybe that's a problem...
asciilifeform: prolly same thing as to the german
scriba: ssh banner of 74.45.228.159 as seen on 2016-06-13: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2
asciilifeform: 2 is same as 9000 in this respect
mircea_popescu: to re-emerge later as a "different" expert equally expertful, ofcourse.
PeterL: in implementing keccac, do we really need to have special case functions for 256 bit and 512 bit outputs? couldn't we just define it as the variable length output function and then if somebody wants 256 bit output they just choose that as the length?
trinque: only point I'm looking for an operator fee, can then do as many ops as one likes.
asciilifeform: you have wires to all of them regardless, why not as all-of-them 'where is S'
spyked: IMHO could be separated from "compilation" (could as well be part of ada assembler, or "program loader" if there's such a thing).
spyked: stumbled upon http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692820 <-- *theoretically* (where theoretically = I'm mostly pulling this out of spyked arse, so hold on to eggs) possible. problems as far as I can see are 1. no. of transistors, 2. arch/microarch design, e.g. how to use general-purpose registers (assuming there are gp registers there); and I assume there might be bigger problems, some of which mentioned by asciilifeform. static checking ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the mother as daughter's fashion accessory. gotta accessorize! and match those brown tones!
mircea_popescu: talking about what shit costs when you've never made any shit is bound to lead to lulz as well.
asciilifeform: treating cost as scalar is bound to lead to lulz
mircea_popescu: i can't remember what the "just as good" piece of cardboard footwear they were brandying about, but anyway.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-03 03:18 mircea_popescu: just the clue cptn breezy needs is actually north of a million bucks ; as proven by the fact that all the cptn breezys who won the loterry still couldn't afford to buy it.

shinohai: I'm gonna freeze gcc version 4.9.4 on website soon as it seems to be only version thus far that will build tmsr related stuff for me without shitting the bed
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1710146 << fwiw my 80s lego did include engine. and also various non-fungible parts such as engine blocks cut out with pistons visibly going in and out, and proper (and working) implementation of automotive steering couplings. ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'After all, they belonged to a class with a certain tradition, they had been to public schools where the duty of dying for your country, if necessary, is laid down as the first and greatest of the Commandments. They had to feel themselves true patriots, even while they plundered their countrymen. Clearly there was only one escape for them - into stupidity. They could keep society in its existing shape only by being unable to grasp th
asciilifeform: ( as described by ol' mr. o )

asciilifeform: though incidentally might be interesting to use a decapped sram as a 'printhead'
asciilifeform: charged drum would give same effect as billion printheads
mircea_popescu: think of a long sheet of substrate, with prepper and as many prinbter machines as passes needed downstream.

'Because you could never have served the enemy as well as you served us,' he said. 'I realized that almost all the ideas that I hold now, that make me unashamed of anything I may have felt or done as a Nazi, came not from Hitler, not from Goebbels, not from Himmler — but from you.'

'Did you know,' he said, 'that until almost this very moment nothing would have delighted me more than to prove that you were a spy, to see you shot?' 'No,' I said. 'And do you know why I don't care now if you were a spy or not?' he said. 'You could tell me now that you were a spy, and we would go on talking calmly, just as we're talking now. I
asciilifeform: incidentally being kgb imho is not an absolute bar to furthering the aims of republic, so long as actually further'em rather than lounge ( like, e.g., decimation, the last rezident ), see also vonnegut's http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-16#1325347 , http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-16#1325348 remark ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: identity is such a little bitch. almost as much as money.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 19:08 mircea_popescu: the captured male how to behave so it doesn't rub wrongly. Example suffices, he will perhaps protest but certainly learn and definitely change to fit the limit on his penis. It's not like he's not very eager to alter his behaviour so he can maintain that sweet, sweet delicious cage for longer, for as long as possible, forever. Whatever he may say, it's all window-dressing for that simple, fundamental fact -- he's happier neu
asciilifeform: if you can statically charge, just as good.
mircea_popescu: did i ever recount my theory as to WHY they seek the lights ?
asciilifeform: just as asciilifeform can.
mircea_popescu: mind you don't end up as sad as me at six as an adult. it goes away a lot faster at that age.
mircea_popescu: now this man... he had a set of 9V lightbulbs. and so as any good respectable citizen i sat down with the dead man's dragon pile, to TEST everythiung I got. yes ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: whore dun go around presenting selves as independent operators who 'spent 27 million, you maggot!' etc
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, did i ever recount my sad encounter with another man's electronics lab, as a 6 yo ?
mircea_popescu: Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters, Gilles Van Assche and Ronny Van Keer << might as well dump the list of bernsteins that'll have to explain themselves.
asciilifeform: ( connect as a hypercube, or on a crossbar, or whichever. )
asciilifeform: roughly same as 100 of the xl9572 used in FUCKGOATS.
phf: asciilifeform: i don't really understand fpga peripherals architecture very well, but you think you could eyeball compare what's available in ice to pipistrello. (i'm curious where there's a limitation as far as porting cadr) http://pipistrello.saanlima.com/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Pipistrello#Pipistrello_Rev_2.0_Hardware_Description
asciilifeform: spyked: you'll also want something to use as a programmator
asciilifeform: from skull of voltaire as a boy.
shinohai: Asi es ..... I din check out the tor www because, as you see in thread, he insists that one must "Enable javascript in tor browser for complete site functionality"
asciilifeform: '"I've never known a US-based nonprofit dealing in human rights or social services to have any foreign bank accounts," said Amy Sterling Casil, CEO of Pacific Human Capital, a California-based nonprofit consulting firm. "My impression based on prior interactions is that they have a small, modestly paid staff, and were regarded by most in the industry as frugal and reliable. I am stunned to learn of transfers of millions to offshore b
asciilifeform: ( really enjoys dataentry work, apparently. so long as it happens for clitler )
asciilifeform: ' The SHA-3 version of Keccak being proposed appears to provide essentially the same level of security guarantees as SHA-2, its predecessor. If we are going to develop a next generation hash, there certainly should be standardized versions that provide a higher security level than the older hash functions! NIST, in the original call for submissions, specifically asked for four versions in each submission, with at least two that would
asciilifeform: they adopted ~particular params~ of keccak as the new national whatever
asciilifeform: it will be treated as parcel 0 ( what this does, will become apparent later )
mircea_popescu is entirely unconvinced how to write it as of yet.
mircea_popescu: yeah, somehow all the abundance of "commentary", exploratory-creative as it is, fails to fucking mention "120k" actually means 70k post tax, and -5k post rent.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i'd very much like to kill the present crop of "it experts" "github developers" etc as babies if possible. rather than as adults.
mircea_popescu: amusingly this whole thing stems out of : some obnoxiouys pantsuit hag started harassing that spencer dude's mom, to get her to "disown" her son and donate his inheritance to the nigger fund or some shit. THAT part was a-ok ; but when this dork put some words on a website and as a result THOUSANDS of people told that woman what a shitstain she is, THEN it became scandalous.
mircea_popescu: then supposedly "as to the mentally retarded, so for everyone, tis teh caselaws!" or somesuch bullshit.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, as per usual : the usg focusing on idiots, trying to build "legal precedent" on the basis of pursuing people too feebleminded to as much as find their way here.
needhelpwithnode: then appears this super cute girl (at least for my standards), she's 20, very hot romanian girl. Scared as fuck and proactively looking for police to eventually flee the zone, i approach her and she tolds me that for 30 bombs, she can have good time with me in the car
ag3nt_zer0: Hello TMSR... trying to implement trb here. What is the proper way to "save the PGP public keys" before placing them in .wot? Do I simply copy the entirety of the text (including -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----) revealed at the link provided by deedbot, place that into a text editor, and then save as .asc?
asciilifeform: anyway almost whole point of how fg is made is so as this is not esp. appealing.
asciilifeform: who change their nonces specifically when it would benefit the house, and in such a way as to.
mircea_popescu: and it doesn't work without withening ; or in other words : he intelligently used the otherwise useless whitening step as an assurance provider. was pretty clever move, esp considering the standard for intelligence at the time.
mircea_popescu: then the first hand is played as 0c3dbf77a25ebe9733548266406161111522839d1d41f221070e59c361f6b2b0990df0606d143e90b1bb9ed1a9b39ff5fcf0ac153cc0e90297f1273076fcf38c
asciilifeform: wasn't proposed as a standard part of fg delivery lol
mircea_popescu: not a good answer. courier can get ambushed just as well.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: proposed strictly as an answer to the provenance thing
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 22:06 asciilifeform: though i've thought about suggesting to mircea_popescu to offer hand-delivery ( chore would fall to asciilifeform... ) as an option. but i dun like nonflat prices
asciilifeform: as in , speaking .
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709181 << quite. and as the femme alf says, "they don't even know it exists". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so as i was saying -- we don't have to usg.dumb sign anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fraction is so small as to be below heisenberg limits. this matters.
asciilifeform: just as there is not for block cipher.
mircea_popescu: so, message as chain of message blocks, with acordeon, settable hash. yes it is "possible" to get a collision. if your hash is 512bytes long... not soon.
mircea_popescu: and you know 9 blocks were signed, and they are as such :
mircea_popescu: signed material looks as follows : 0001what 0faadd0002means8391240004 'moraff02930005...ffffuct'ajk40009a435aad
mircea_popescu: let's take as sample text "what means 'more compact construct'".
asciilifeform: there ain't no such thing as fulltext signing if fulltext is bigger than your modulus ( and padding also takes space )
asciilifeform: you can't treat hashes as 1:1 with your set.
asciilifeform: as ethertardium is to btc, etc
asciilifeform: htm is to actual hypertext as koch is to rsa.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in exactly same way and for same reason as the rest of www stack
ben_vulpes: as an aside, it is obnoxious that anchors are not passed in the request
mircea_popescu: "give me the list of all lines with string x" are not requests for urls per se, but requests for computation. "please interpret the indirection layer and compose a list of urls as a solution to that".
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709154 << seems the correct solution is the layer of indirection. you do have actual information, which is immutable, and which can be served as urls ; and you have indexing etcetera, which yes is mutable, but which also best lives as an alias layer on top of urls. so in this sense : each line in the log is an url ; the query for "give me the by-day list of archives" just like the query for ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's also loads of whores, and some migrant gypsies. the latter category possibly only ones who are both having fun and using the uk as it is intended and merits to be used.
