mircea_popescu: for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all".
mircea_popescu: and there is no rhetorical flourish in the above ; it is exact and correctly descriptive.
mircea_popescu: that process has turned a country which cca 1950 was in the top 5, ABOVE CANADA, into something struggling to not be overtaken by the gabon.

mircea_popescu: oh, #trilema ? whatever, let me just finish "correcting" these wikipedia articles. #trilema can wait.
mircea_popescu: and it goes the same everywhere. hurr durr i'm poor but i trhink i;m smart. and i want bitcoin. mp made eulora ? you knopw what ? i'll fuck around with nothing in particular, see what uppity tortilla is going, there's plenty of time. mp will be around forever!!1
mircea_popescu: hrowing her clothes off THAT SLUT!!!" orly ?
mircea_popescu: it's so fucking amusing to me, how derps always pretend like they got all the optionality and all the time in the world. hurr durr i'm some random chick, almost hot, almost smart ? clearly i don't have to jump on this guy the moment i see him. nah, let time pass, let me "figure things out", he'll still be here. then get all butthurt when "that slut" did EXACTLY what subs shopuld be doing. "omg she just jumped on him started t
trinque hearing meatwot L2 derps becoming aware of bitcoin. which indicator is that again?
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell BingoBoingo I also need lordly advice, what was the name for the whoreticulture blog you came up with?
jhvh1: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
ben_vulpes: and insufficiently so at that
ben_vulpes: surely you do not mean to imply that someone was heckling him for being vulgar language incarnate
ben_vulpes: oh subject of, BingoBoingo, "was heckled for being himself insufficiently vulgar language towards..."
ben_vulpes: and i've been having such a good time reading qntra of late
ben_vulpes: at least the inevitable pebkac is less likely to be lethal in that case
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: why not buy a shitty amcar from the nineties and practice drifting around those curves
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: trip report!
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: You do know they have 31337 ass armor nao?
ben_vulpes: motorbikes are excellent toys
ben_vulpes: although the only conscious contact yr gonna develop is your ass against the pavement
pete_dushenski: i thought chips went with fish, not seals
BingoBoingo: Anyways motorcycle seems like good way to practice steps 3 and 11
BingoBoingo: Yes, thanks to "chipsealing"
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: from experience, back roads have an absurdly high incidence of dipshits over the line in blind corners
mircea_popescu: by your very loose... standards, latrine on cartwheels may qualify for "intercontinental travel ability"
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: tool around on back roads, fun in farm country, and intercontinental travel ability
mircea_popescu: i thought ariana grande was a model. she sings ?!
pete_dushenski: all terrorists are alike i tells ya
pete_dushenski: http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/22/police-england-report-fatalities-ariana-grande-concert/ <--> "strongly dislike pop-anything - from fast food to television."
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: yr looking to cut through traffic on 2 wheels or what
ben_vulpes: phone just went off, ebay wants me to know that the tender has shipped
ben_vulpes: in other wats, the solar battery tender i bought from ebay showed up today, fulfilled by amazon
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: very bad for the micromorts
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: elaborate on 'few things'?
pete_dushenski: spring is in the air!
pete_dushenski is also researching helmet requirements. for track use, however.
pete_dushenski: in other quantifiable tragedies, these are allegedly the quants who 'run wall street'. seriously sorry lot : https://archive.is/HU2Nn/dfc7e5f98f4d716186ceb87157295d37c231f5cb.jpg
mircea_popescu: joining nato utterly ruined the place.
pete_dushenski: as an aside, this mircea_popescu retelling blows my feeble canadian mind no matter how many times i read it. i'm not sure there's been a single person in the history of this great arable land that's had an impromptu motorcade like that.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-11 15:40 mircea_popescu: let me point out that a) i visited, when i felt like ; b) they gave me a 10 year visa back in 2000. i was one of the i dunno, maybe dozen romanians with one, at the time ? c) they fucking held the embassy open while my driver was going 100 on the wrong way in bucharest because i met some friends and got to drinking and we lost track of time and we were late. eventually got a police escort to do it under color of law at least,
pete_dushenski: motorless also has the advantage of being immune to road laws. it's like having diplomatic immunity
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: that's why you put in headphones for maximum soundtrack. you can then listen to anything in the world other than the pissed cars and pedestrians flipping you off after you cut them off
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: motorless is preferable. makes for stronger legs and leaves more skin attached to body.

a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 03:32 mircea_popescu: the stopping of talking in the tardsgroup is never suspicious. they talk at the margins, as per the "gotta say unsaid things" heuristic.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660325 << fwiw and ftr i've spent ~0 brain cycles considering what to do if i break it, it is not imho likely. but learned a few things in the process. ☝︎
mod6: ahh, ok. thats great news asciilifeform. just stick to what you're doing, all in good time.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 03:39 mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-10#1624240 << regarding alf's suggestion here, is there any objection to adding this log link to ticket: http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/trb_tickets.html#6
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660326 << mod6 , i have adatronic block/tx parser, reencoder, done, mmaptron also! but put on hold to finish 'p' (aka 'tmsr rsa') ☝︎
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski ben_vulpes and other vehicular inclined lords, do you have any thoughts on 2-wheeled transporters?
mod6: !%a trb C "Move the deps folder" "Move trb deps directory which contains frozen artifacts outside of the bitcoin project directory. This will avoid unwanted removal of artifacts upon a `make clean`."
mod6: re: http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/trb_tickets.html#1 << this one seems to be resolved with the use of -lows. I hesitate to remove the ticket, but a link to the patch might be worthwhile here.
mircea_popescu: might not want to anchor prototype / example implementations too deeply too soon ; but that has ntohing to do with linking.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 16:57 asciilifeform: btw i will also put down in the log, one very simple possible algorithm for a 'txidx-fs' :

mircea_popescu: the stopping of talking in the tardsgroup is never suspicious. they talk at the margins, as per the "gotta say unsaid things" heuristic. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and, supposing they do not : was the stopping - suspicious..?
asciilifeform: do they still even nao?
mircea_popescu: people on tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: the sort of thing one's not well advised to stop trying even should he succeed.
asciilifeform: tests as we have them now are useful because they can reveal 'organic' damage or misdesign, e.g. stuck bits. rather than malfeasance.
asciilifeform: ( what delta over random stab in the dark does the supposed predictor give the enemy . )
asciilifeform: however there is a number of tests-for-broken-rng. my idea was strictly re an algo for how to measure their actual relevance .
asciilifeform: but function of rng AND enemy. (see ancient thread, 2014ish iirc)
asciilifeform: and yes, this is still same old tests, nothing magically different about them, there will ~never~ be a mechanical test for 'good rng'
asciilifeform: so next step is: once we have a sadness equation, you can take it and test its guess rate vs expected value, with new output sample.
mircea_popescu: it's so easy to make perfectly balanced faux entropy, only some very inept usg-ians would use anything else.
mircea_popescu: the problem hgere is : you are guarding the wife's door rather than her cunt. she dun need to use the door.
asciilifeform: right. output ought be a 'hey schmuck, if you use this rng, i can predict, like-so...'
mircea_popescu: in this sense ~all of the dieharder tests do produce one implicitly.
asciilifeform: my original contention is that any test which, upon 'failure', cannot produce a sadness equation, is ill-conceived.
asciilifeform: (let's accept this range-with-hole notation.)
mircea_popescu: i suppose distributions is the sane way to go about this. study if taking byte as 3 gives uneven distribution as opposed to taking byte as 8, say.
asciilifeform: because the output byte is never ever 0xaa .
asciilifeform: say an rng fails the 'birthdays' test.
mircea_popescu: again, irrational numbers are the problem. pix+e is not "algebraic" in this sense.
asciilifeform: let's take a painfully pedantic example:
asciilifeform: this is not about the tests, but the output of same
mircea_popescu: do you want it to miss most cases, or do you want it to not miss most cases ?
mircea_popescu: no see, now you made it in the general again.
mircea_popescu: but this is not what you're asking, for a test that sometimes finds something, is it.
asciilifeform: let's take concrete example -- if i make a rubbish rng that leads 'ent' to conclude that pi == 4
mircea_popescu: necessarily no test can be formulated.
mircea_popescu: the problem is thge swet of possibly existing failures is transfinite or some shit
asciilifeform: and any test that cannot be formulated in this way -- is rubbish and oughta go away
asciilifeform: but to display ~existing~ test failures in predictor-algorithm form ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 01:36 mircea_popescu: can trivially show this is weaker than " return an ~algo~ for attempting a better-than-chance prediction".
asciilifeform: whitening == gluing petrol tank gauge to 'full'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform otherwise, the presence of "whitening" is conversely the statement of the impossibility of proper "ent"
asciilifeform: per dijkstra's 'testing can demonstrate the presence of bugs, but never their absence' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i keep waiting for one of these actually doing it properly : rubbing self with thyme and stuffing bacon in the cuts.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 01:33 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is insoluble and dieharder/ent/etc are fundamentally braindamaged. there's no way to avoid the "give it a large enough sample it'll show 100%" problem specifically because there's no such thing as random bitstream.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660248 << this ain't the problem -- already right off the bat , sane operator knows that it is physically impossible to test for ~good~ rng, only for ~bad rng~ ☝︎
