mircea_popescu: asciilifeform glhf. can'
t do such, as we've discovered, with ~anything anyway.
irene_yvonne: mircea_popescu: the article said that this isn'
t one time offer. So, any other photo ideas?
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn'
t alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
mircea_popescu: i very honestly can'
t begin to understand how one goes about calling self "saudi prince", but doesn'
t have to type in code every few hours or else riyadh is flat.
mircea_popescu: but the baked in assumption is that big ape stays rational ~forever~, and this still doesn'
t sum up to anything good for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn'
t we do that thing about young male's "business wet dreams" ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-05#1746785 << i don'
t get what the fuck ELSE did they imagine it's for ? normal people taking tramps in for a fuck&suck say so. that they don'
t say so just means they're WEIRD, it doesn'
t mean "it ain'
t gonna occur". a tramp's a tramp, a thing, like a hammer, with a proper usage implicit. aaanyway.
☝︎ apeloyee: i also need to understand/fit in head/convince myself of the line re "extends to any N bit register". << schoolbook addition method shows that the MSB and carry-out depend only on MSB of operands and the carry-in to the most significant place; the carry-in can be derived from result's MSB and the summand's (as their sum modulo 2, aka xor), thus the register width doesn'
t matter
mircea_popescu: in this bitcoinarry bit ross, mr levine orlov doesn'
t get the GOOD leads.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 21:32 apeloyee: I'm still curious what gcd there will be. I admit defeat regarding the binary GCD I posted earlier - after trying to make an extended GCD out of it, it ballooned to 100+ LOC, and it doesn'
t work. Meaning it doesn'
t fit in head... (BTW the orginal code snipped I posted has a mux which always picks wrong input)
a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 21:18 apeloyee: I'd like to ask asciilifeform to document the parameter ordering convention in ffa. chapter 1 is straightforward, but the various shifts posted earlier seemed to have their parameters in order which I don'
t understand.

t do anything, not usefully, not well, not within pre-glacial timeframes, not... not..."
trinque: if the tree were present it wouldn'
t be written in a line ltr, not that I argue against the usefulness of being able to synthesize new words.
ben_vulpes: i don'
t capitalize casually, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: i hope it's in the shape of a
T overimposed over a W. because obviously.
mircea_popescu: it only becomes a problem when the argument presented is "i didn'
t have the time to do x"
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 04:54 asciilifeform: as it is, asciilifeform couldn'
t even sell 1 btc in here in usgistan, even if wanted to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're cutting bits and pieces of a thing then hurting self with them as a proof the item was dangerous. item wasn'
t dangerous as it was, you cut it up into harmful pieces deliberately!
a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 14:42 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so for my own curiosity : considering the choice to
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-12#1655064 (i recall a more recent mention but search isn'
t yielding) has cost you over the past YEAR the equivalent of what appears like 118`337 here + whatever the non-delivery of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-27#1591437 would have amounted to (iirc no amt was ever set down ?), are you putting this down to a case of bad managem
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not very clear to me how your x=y things work, BUT, if you had told me in 2016 that you intend to delay c-s ada impl by 1-2-n years to wait for ffa i'd have told you symmetric cipher really dun need ffa for any reason and eulora won'
t wait into 2018 for it etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 15:04 mircea_popescu: anyway, re the "and then in the end to take s.nsa crypto lib and use for phree anyway" portion of
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-05#1746522 : that discussion was mid and then late 2016 ; on dec 2017 i had to direct s.mg tech to CREATE rather than simply use a cripto lib. for this reason i don'
t wish to pay nsa anything -- it didn'
t do the work i wanted it to do. it's true that it released a "intangibles and goodwill" sort of
mircea_popescu: both the "for honor" and "for money" circuits are functional and actually functioning. needn'
t be confused randomly.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 14:17 asciilifeform: as for asciilifeform , he would actually prefer if mircea_popescu shot straight and said 'hell no i won'
t pay for no stinkin' software', rather than the peculiar ritual of having a contest, then to proclaim the submitters as a whole 'self-indulgent indolent' and then in the end to take s.nsa crypto lib and use for phree anyway

mircea_popescu: the problem isn'
t the payinbg. the problem is the workdoing.
mircea_popescu: the implication isn'
t "but instead sat" necessarily. you take this altogether very personally, but there's a good dozen "crypto experts" opining importantly in the comment section there.
mircea_popescu: well, they don'
t yet need it for anything. at least mentally. aanyways.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point re "it's unfortunate that open ended terms, such as one's own life, and other things, end up quite closed termed in the end" is sound. yes it's quite unfortunate, and rather regrettable. nevertheless, it's how it goes ; if i knew better in feb 2016 i'd have said "this'll be open for a coupla years". as it happens, i didn'
t know any better in 2016.
mircea_popescu: or in better terms : the conversation could have been carried in 2016, in the terms of "here's what the future looks like, wut do" rather than end-of-2017 in the terms of "here's what i don'
t like about how the past looks".
mircea_popescu: the item doesn'
t even exist implemented at all! still today, as then. lego blocks implementation would beat this situation.
mircea_popescu: but the specific sequence is required, that's what communication is, that's how signalling works. "actually... i was going to do x for y, but can'
t, and won'
t before z". that's gotta be -- either in the comment section of the linked march 2016 report, or in the comment section of the linked contest, or i guess unideally here. but explicitly.
mircea_popescu: the important parts in order of importance : 1) distress call ("god damned it") ; 2. failure discussion "i can'
t do this c-s i was going to do for the cipher comp". these must be present as teh header.
mircea_popescu: what happened to "god damned it, i can'
t do this c-s i was going to do for the cipher comp because no ffa" ?
mircea_popescu: i expect it'll be patched into mpi. which she's going to also sign to genesis. sorta like how i signed mp-wp, and unlike how you didn'
t genesis it, or did you ?
mircea_popescu: why didn'
t you even yesterday is the more productive question here. what exactly changed since today ?
mircea_popescu: however. if i don'
t have a neck to squeeze when something blows up no work was in fact done. that's the writing/reading distinction, code is enacted by reading, in the speciffic v sense of the term.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 15:19 mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don'
t particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ?
phf: there was a hairy bug in search, that didn'
t consider all the possibilities. though now there's a highlighting issue..
davout: also in case BingoBoingo hasn'
t already left for the other hemisphere I wish him safe travel!
mircea_popescu: i don'
t really think it's much of an issue altogether, except for the part where it fails to find a line for ascii search.
mircea_popescu: the other problem i'm confronting is that i don'
t now remember what the chinese even meant.
phf: this is because word break doesn'
t understand that 和 and 我 are words and no punctuation is required for breaking it up. there lies dragon territory
phf: mircea_popescu: i'll investigate a bit the specific mechanics of failure in this case, but there are certain situations where unicode search doesn'
t necessarily work
lobbes: As for processing urls 'going forward' I got a bot sitting in chan that snarfs urls as they come and keeps it in a 'to-be-processed' database. Still, having redundant data sources couldn'
t hurt. I would definitely be interested in url streams
mircea_popescu: he takes the sentence "i am rich here as i'd be anywhere ; and i can'
t buy anything for it here unlike anywhere else" and turns it into "i am rich here because usg made me rich ; and i can'
t buy anything here or anywhere else because non-usg". whether he verbalizes that "non-usg" as "the most serene republic" or "black people" or "islam" or "patriarchy" or what have you, it's still what it is.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-04#1746199 << because exactly as i say : he assigned universals ("the sun rises in the morning! BECAUSE STALIN!") to the socialist state ; and the very disasters caused by that socialist state to imaginary "everyone else everywhere else". guess what, it WASN'
T the terrorists that came busting down the door. it was... the socialists he worked for.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but i think the message is pretty well out : "mr/mrs/miss manafort can'
t defend themselves. what are you srtill doing in the reich ?"
mircea_popescu: you see it everywhere, from the supreme court all the way down to obscure daycare
http://www.27bslash6.com/flash.html (" He denied having the drive which means he knew he shouldn'
t have it here then it was found in his bag so I feel the punishment is suitable." ) sorta thing
mircea_popescu: make sure you don'
t miss days though, people who build up pented excitement get VERY pissy.
mircea_popescu: let me take this opportunity to point out to asciilifeform that his first item in the epic ffa write-up was dec 1st. this is dec 4th. wasn'
t it supposed to be a 1 hour apart publishing or what's going on there ?
mod6: jurov: I personally haven'
t considered it. We'll get back to you on that.
jurov: mod6: ben_vulpes: have you decided about forked coins on foundation's address? should i report them, or sell, or they don'
t exist?
mircea_popescu: i deeply care python 3 won'
t build without gcc 6 hurr.
mircea_popescu: whereas to literate folk, this is a major topic. "i...can'
t say that. why can'
t i say that ? why won'
t that let itself be said ?!"
mircea_popescu: in fact, they don'
t expect language pushback (resistance of medium) at all whatsoever, and don'
t understand how to decode when the words are crying to the heavens their sadness in abuse.
mircea_popescu: the second is more than half tyhe time how trilema articles end up so long, those that do -- there was a shorter thing there that didn'
t hold, but for expressive rather than fundamentalreasons.
phf: do you see it rationally and then deconstruct it, or do you first experience the wrongness and then seek the source of it? because if it's the first one, then i'm possible lacking necessary tools, but if it's the second, then i just don'
t always get to the seeking out the source part
mircea_popescu: i can'
t be the only one dedicated enough to the craft to actually be bothered by such.
mircea_popescu: how does he manages to avoid the exception, you know ? "this enumeration... it doesn'
t work... what am i actually talking about ?"
mircea_popescu: somehow he manages to write that AND NOT at the same time throw an error. "wait... i... can'
t actually explain this ?!"
mircea_popescu: i ~can~ name what makes me better in any professional field ffs. who can'
t ? how couldn'
t you, if it is indeed professional field!
phf: right, i think perhaps the problem of this particular turn of phrase, is that he can'
t actually name what makes him a better than average programmer (like ascii's fits in head, or Principles, or), so he's reduced to a shortcut that is insufficient
mircea_popescu: i can'
t read it any other way than "my racing toolkit consists of duct tape, cyanoacrylate, and just-add-water wheel assemblages to be bolted down on any 2x2 inch flat surface you might wish".
mircea_popescu: phf i can'
t read it like that in the context of the three items that he offers as his tools of the trade.
