mircea_popescu: http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/petronius1.html << there, apparently it exists online as well. saves me the trouble to publish it.
asciilifeform: 'The issue was fixed in GCC back in March but only disclosed today on the oss-sec list as CVE-2017-11671. '
asciilifeform: 'RDRAND/RDSEED instructions for pulling random number generators on modern CPUs may have not been as random as desired when using GCC. '
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-06-12 18:05 phf: ben_vulpes: could you possibly add timestamp (hh:mm:ss, say) to your div.line's. maybe as data-ts="..." or perhaps as a div.nick title?
asciilifeform: though i disagree that cowardice is inevitable 'professional disease' of the thinking man. illusion, comes from the fact of bipedal turds masquerading as thinking folx.
mircea_popescu: the overarching point here is that just as never an ought came from an is ; just so no coward managed to reason his way into valor.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-27 02:46 phf: relatedly to the other conversation, though i grew up on the same yarns as asciilifeform, i start to think that usenet was the original reddit, just the guys were smarter, perhaps even grownups. i posted on reddit at some point, and i want to believe that my comments were carefully constructed and detailed, but there were many reasons that we
asciilifeform: as i see it, mircea_popescu had the verdict quite ready before reading any.
mircea_popescu: phf as far as moderns are concerned, y-m le bourdonnec, say, or else hugo desnoyer. probably can even buy a chunk. otherwise, as far as the anthropology / history an' generally scholarship of the matter is concerned, there's late medieval / early modern french, spanish sources, even a bit of latin, but i've not them assembled and at the ready.

asciilifeform: as such it is worth imho whole modern net put together, gram for gram
asciilifeform: vintage usenet ( in fact the 'yarchive' d00d -- no relation to ycombinator tards et al , see l0gz - has good chunk ) contained folx who actually spent good chunk of 20th c doing things such as organic synthesis of novel 'better living through chemistries', overseeing petro exploration, various productive pursuits of now-mostly-evaporated civilization
asciilifeform: ( received , incidentally, much the same way as mpoe-pr was on tardstalk. )
mircea_popescu: in even more lulz : passed today by chinese restaurant "rong fad", rico y barato ; as well as by dr. rivera's FagRivet veterniarian hospital. you know, for pets.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I understand you shiva hands are full, but maybe you can spit some venom at the Wizsec thing? As "coke machine" prognisticator affair could use your voice from on high.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-23 13:08 mircea_popescu: Framedragger the problem here is moreover default trust. so you wake up one day and you see... "gnupg". nomina nuda. you look around, theres' "werner koch" idem, nomina nuda. you look, there's "tor" with "shari" and "isis". names, hollow as can be. but the natural tendency of the brain, to see movement in a succession of stills and meaning in noise and structure in names convinces you these are THINGS.
mircea_popescu: that's the other thing : so vast is the usg bureaucracy, you can always use them in a different province. that this is how it works is always evident : just like gavin was supposed to be accepted in bitcoin because of his mit credentials, now he's offered to the naive population of $random-small-town on the basis of his "bitcoin credentials" and so no. as long as nobody digs, figures the usg, the lies stand by default.

mircea_popescu: so they are... augmenting the... intelligence, such as it is, of the "customer base"
mircea_popescu: this, btw, should probably count as augmented intelligence : the normal workings of the normie brain make the past very foggy. the deliberate design of the apple and apple-clones makes memory both more costly and less useful than it'd be naturally.
trinque: maybe btc-e guy's owner told him to fork over the wad, and go sit on his spike, as per prior arrangements.
asciilifeform: trinque: afaik goxes typically implode when the coins, such as there were, are long leaked out, and the tank - bone dry
mircea_popescu: hey, for as long as the imbecile cattle "buys" bitcoin on usg.tor and then goes on reddit to "independently" opine about mp...
mircea_popescu: well, the usg problem is that they got left with a larger-than-usual hole as a result of their recent attempt to "gold" bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: As opposed to the poor masses ver fucked Winter 2014 with "PLS GIX is SOLVENT, k thx Bi"
BingoBoingo: "The Tesla-landian economy, worth 231 billion Coils a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,599 Coils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest." << Oh my, what is this hippy stuff?
BingoBoingo: Unless still inflated user stats from people making Statal oppressions as projects for skewl
BingoBoingo: But so long as miners live/die on sucking shit, they still gotta do it
BingoBoingo: And yes, this was used as DDoS Sauce against miners in the mempool bloating attacks.
ben_vulpes: what does a' mean in this context; spending same inputs as a but with eg different fee?
ben_vulpes: wallet dance as rbf i mean
asciilifeform: yes, and you can flood'em with n-length (e.g. 7) chains that end in 'ha, gotcha' instead of tx-in-old-block, as root
asciilifeform: 'could be ANYTHING, and you may NOT program with assumptions as to what it is'
asciilifeform: there are none so blind as those who will not open their third eye. or how did it go.
lobbes: http://www.issuesandalibis.org/041913.html#twelve << "Unlike credit card transactions, which leave a digital trail, bitcoin transactions are designed to be anonymous and untraceable. When you transfer bitcoins to someone else, it's as if you handed over a paper bag filled with $100 bills in a dark alley." Hahahaha. This is gold.
mircea_popescu: this registry go to the way side and be used by some random porn site to push traffic... to many that identify as M/s this is a part of who they are!"
mircea_popescu: in other cypherfunk lulz, "SlaveRegistry.com was allowed to go defunk on April 4th 2017, it went to auction on 5-9-17 and after a bidding war for the domain my baby and I took formal ownership of it on 5/16/17 to make sure that the M/s community still had this resource. Just like many other M/s couples my baby has a slave number which is permanently etched on my body just as my masters mark is on hers. I was not about to let
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> not so much, iirc, lately, so as not to help escape << Yeah. Also turrorism.
mircea_popescu: in other corroborating data : had bot pm a few thousand redditards directing them to the obvious two-bit-tits article. as you probably observed there were 0 bits paid out for 0 bits taken out ; however the bot account is flooded with responses.
mircea_popescu: "Oakley is among a growing number of educators who view intermediate algebra as an obstacle to students obtaining their credentials — particularly in fields that require no higher level math skills." << teh confusion of ideas ffs. ☟︎
asciilifeform: not so much, iirc, lately, so as not to help escape
mircea_popescu: pro tip : fill the fridge up with cured meats, as well as yest's leftover steak / broth meats etc. homecook bread, daily. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-23#1689346 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, overheard yest in car (as we were passing a quiznos sub thing with a huge "30% mas carne!!" ad) "do you know what that is ?" "no idea" "when i was a kid it was the very best sandwich thing, better than subway or what have you. so when you left me behind i went to try it out. jesus christ it was the saddest affair ever. i could have made a better sandwich in all of five minutes."
asciilifeform: 'I hope our competitors will hear our message and will close their services too. Very soon this kind of activity will be considered as illegal in most of countries.'

mircea_popescu: some cultures are a boon, but some cultures are a baboon, and i've yet to meet the (actual, as opposed to "african-usian" ersatz) black person whose black culture wasn't a terrible burden on their mind.
mircea_popescu: ing widely available ( see eg http://trilema.com/2017/on-trisection-a-humble-contribution/#footnote_2_73491 ), but it can't possibly end there. and in all fairness, the uci as properly understood (see eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-21#1688642 ; http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687638 and so on) is definitely just this ia thing, one layer above bulldozer per se). ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: (for the record -- while i do believe that IA (as opposed to ai bullcrap) is both perfectly achievable, in many ways achieved, and the ~only reasonable use of the machine in the first place ; i nevertheless think the problem is catastrophically ill posed in the "you know, like bullzoder" sense. yes there was such an application for digital computers, it is called "the numeric method" and still not widely deployed notwithstand ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "at the time (october 2006) i was spending a lot of time jacking off to stuff i downloaded from the piratebay and i saw their hilariously republican blog ; so i figured... hey, i'm an american and therefore worse that a shitstain in a paki's undershorts. how could i possibly try and run off with as much of that as possible to sell to my nigger masters for some mountain dew ???"
mircea_popescu: ir lawyers to arrive. That’s actually why it’s so filthy. I was just looking to “troll” a big studio. Then, as I began editing the radio play and boarding it, the two characters ended up becoming something different than just a bad impression of Doc and Marty from BTTF. They slowly became two of my favorite characters that I’ve ever voiced. I backed down on the cease and desist bait and changed the spelling of their

At the time (October 2006) I had nothing to lose and my original intention was to call this “back to the future: the new official universal studios cartoon featuring the new Doc Brown and Marty McFly” and then I’d just sit back and wait for a letter from the
mircea_popescu: ~same as ice.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's coming as soon as they get the yeast-as-food thing well oiled an' going.
BingoBoingo: Well, you know how wrinked things can be smooth about their wrinkles. Scrunched up silk vs scrunched up burlap may be what the stoner as going for
mircea_popescu: this is like not even horrid, as far as coinages go. where do they find flocks of seagulls with still firing neurons anyway ?!
mircea_popescu: as amy once said, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-21#1688788 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: tes before the story rapidly folds as if this horror of horrors, the fucking trip, is so scary it can't even be contemplated, just a glimpse suffices and should be immediately forgotten."
asciilifeform: phf: as with all us-produced film of recent decades, it tastes ok only after filleting.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-23#1689354 << i like rick&morty but i think it suffers from the whole human element thing as far being "tmsr like". for example if you take original sherlock holmes, there's not really any attempts to either humanize or dehumanize him, he was just doing his thing, brilliantly, and it was the raison d'etre. take on the other hand modern remake, where half of the narrative is devoted to "oh, he's brilliant, BUT CAN HE SOLVE ☝︎
mircea_popescu: some don't work though. the one discussed is entirely made so the CAMERA can see the tits and cunt, and as little of the dood as palatable to 80s audiences.
asciilifeform: just as surely as later created hitler.

deedbot: shinohai rated sina 1 << Python mp-fhf works as advertised, though I suggest http://trilema.com/2015/a-new-software-licensing-paradigm/ for future license.
mod6: as far as freebsd, I feel like the 4.3 was pretty good, but there was a lot of in-fighting regarding technical decisions. this lead to Matt Dillon leaving and forking dragonfly.
mircea_popescu: even without b, there are numeric methods to sort out whether your keys will work or not, such as trying each one.

PeterL: yeah, I was wondering about how it was horrid, but then later you suggested it as a good idea, I see the difference is having two separate keys encrypting the two parts
PeterL: sufficient to work as message padding for rsa-grams?
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly want to be as flexible as a vixen willow in any case.
asciilifeform: and what day of menses the menstruade used as ink was from aha
phf: but that's an alternative solution, since unicode claims taxonomy of symbols. "A" as written by mp in 2017 is not necessarily different from "A" written by mp during other times (but it might map to different A's within taxonomy, e.g. latin or cyrillic one). in case of japs they claim that the new symbol actually carries additional meaning
mircea_popescu: "the letter A as written in summer 2017 by MP" seems almost sufficient blather doesn't it.
asciilifeform: there is an 'olfactometer', instrument that pumps known volume of sampled air from the room into expert nose, for gas leaks etc but is NOT same thing as subj.
asciilifeform: as telescope is to eye
asciilifeform: same place as other barely plausible martian tech, lol
mircea_popescu: you can play faro with a set of dice just as well.
mircea_popescu: the inconceivable is just as good impermissible as any other.
phf: apparently terza is a pure sakhalin invention, stos is known in u.s. as faro or pharaoh and bura while also a custom prison game is essentially thirty-one

asciilifeform: ( just as '60s' in usa were period from '58 to '74 )

asciilifeform: as i did for, e.g., FG.

mircea_popescu: by the time it'll be 5 years old, like the "we should have isp expert" thing is, we'll have it just as solved as the isp thing is solved.
asciilifeform: almost as good as the old austrian 18th c thing
mircea_popescu: (no, as it stands, you could fly it over white house and nobody would know specifically what's going on. they can only detect them when landed in open air.)
