Framedragger: oh, thanks. not been a diligent reader of logs for last coupla days.

We underwent a ddos attack, motivated by a rather base extortion attempt (the 4th or 5th this year, but this one was unusually large). We have taken steps with our ISP to buy additional ddos protection capacity and are back to normal operations. All funds under our
Framedragger: re. bitbet (unsigned), http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/csimk/?raw=true (from https://bitbet.us/bet/1361/alphago-to-beat-ke-jie-in-april/#c7085 - archive.is failing to archive this as of now)
mircea_popescu: anyway, random chav or w/e you call the plebs where you live. what's notable ?
mircea_popescu: lol da fuck is this.
asciilifeform: wall is this slot where you put b00kcase.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: does not twiddle living space aesthetics?
ben_vulpes: great scenery though. walls all the same color the landlord left 'em in.
asciilifeform: that tattoo is really sumthn
danielpbarron: http://i.imgur.com/VnfAvHih.jpg << text linked above came from this
asciilifeform: lol. straight to oven.

asciilifeform: i'd imagine at this point in the neverending 20th c. it'd be obvious at least to literate folx, that this type of 'power grab' is about as great an idea as grabbing live hv cable .
mircea_popescu: a lust fo powa will do strange things to habitually powerless people.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly ~now~ you can picture why asciilifeform's picture of conway switched , at that time, from 'hmm, but vlsi!' to 'i wonder where conway stole the credit for vlsi'
danielpbarron: i just watched Brazil the other night, maybe the reference is not as obvious as i thought
asciilifeform: the house in the background doesn't look like a telco tho, no bars on 2nd story windows
asciilifeform: for whom parking spot is always reserved at telco stations.
danielpbarron: http://i.imgur.com/aaRxUD1h.jpg << for asciilifeform, i snapped this yesterday near Williamsburg MA. also possibly interesting to BingoBoingo (can you identify the vehicle i was driving)
mircea_popescu: i was just observing that intel dug out stuff in your linkpile making my earlier position that less tenable.
asciilifeform: they, e.g., got the heimbach d00d (see logz) thrown out of school, various folks - from wherever they worked, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as per link, "RAGE ON THE RIGHT A rage is growing on the right. Before it is done, untold numbers of men and women may have to die, casualties in America's ongoing culture wars. By Mark Potok, Editor, SPLC Intelligence Report".
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's funny how there's always a "we" ; and it's also funny the thing's always structured in the same manner. brings to mind say http://trilema.com/2013/in-which-i-discuss-things-i-have-no-idea-about/ ☟︎
asciilifeform: oh hey ty danielpbarron
mircea_popescu: all in all, the whole conway/bailey pile of shenanigans is a fine de-facto blueprint of "activism" of the ilk every idle nobody and her star-sister's trying to engage in.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 17:48 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point we had a thread with d00d who sold 'sram as rng' iirc.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-15 20:17 Rassah: asciilifeform: Atmel SAM4L series running the software, with random number being generated only from SRAM, in combinaton with other things we're considering, like a salt you can add in a TXT file
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in titillation today, http://68.media.tumblr.com/d60bb13709bf3c22d64d7701da9e0d40/tumblr_oogy83tEbk1sh9c67o1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: we had this thread, in re pogo's marvell cpu.
mircea_popescu: you might be able to buy pre-made bricks on chinazon
asciilifeform: nor place to put it, etc.
mircea_popescu: dude, pet is like 50 bucks a ton, buy a ton.
asciilifeform: you can buy ~anything at all, if you're willing to invest in megatonne of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 20:01 mircea_popescu: sold by the 100k ballots.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1646293 << didja miss the part re 'humans' ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: see you tomorro!
ben_vulpes: this concludes the #trilema daily episode of ben_vulpes is wrong about everything
ben_vulpes: also truffles are hard to find, aren't crickets farmed? or was that cockroaches
ben_vulpes: at least there's a trained pig involved, that sounds like some sort of capital investment.
mircea_popescu: "trees" in the sense that at the root of certain oak trees.
ben_vulpes: "trees", but to answer the first question i suppose a resounding "no"
ben_vulpes: found by trained pigs, no?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you know how truffles are made ?
ben_vulpes: here i was thinking that rooting around in the dirt for grubs was for teh poors
mircea_popescu: sold by the 100k ballots. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes crickets are supposedly delicacy, yoiu can get them chocolate covered or with nuts.
phf: fwiw, it's socially acceptable to cook cicadas in maryland, every 9 or whatever years that they come out
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1646279 << these are found in every 'chinatown' ☝︎
asciilifeform: the immense difficulty of 'human' getting small qty. of just about anything that doesn't live in lolmart, is why i piss on people who piss on 'ebay' etc.
asciilifeform: (why ? i have nfi. maybe americans never learned how to grow it..? srsly? 19th c. process )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: many lulzy finds. for instance, anthracene ( from coal ) is still the all-time champ. BUT you can't buy it in proper crystal, other than su-manufactured on 'ebay' !
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'm really enjoying the notes from scintillator quest
asciilifeform: in other lulz (sequel to earlier film) -- https://topspb.tv/news/2017/04/19/v-moskve-zaderzhali-brata-vozmozhnogo-organizatora-terakta-v-metro-peterburga .
asciilifeform: (if count is substantially above the expected count -- ring the bells, yes )
asciilifeform: (high self-noise floor, which in any other application is a downer. but in this one -- not.)
asciilifeform: anyway in this application it ain't 'the best' scintillator that wins, but specifically lyso -- because it is own gamma source.
asciilifeform: ^ the numberz which refer to commercially-available items -- seem to agree with the vendors'.
asciilifeform: can't seem to unearth it nao.

mircea_popescu: i guess this is why sci-fi is pulp rather than literature.
mircea_popescu: pity, the anti-ram stick had such great sci-fi power.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~whole point of gamma rng is to divorce from electronic effects.
mircea_popescu: then again i did no math for this expect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that can be done in software
mircea_popescu: anti-ecc ram. "we guarantee no bits can be read as they were stored!"
asciilifeform: you don't want to zap the deterministic parts.
mircea_popescu: nah, just make ram stick with lyso instead of doped si, then read it normally.
asciilifeform: one of the items on asciilifeform's back burner recently has been to properly test various variants of this.
asciilifeform: traditional geiger tubes, i rejected for this ( they 1) wear out quickly 2) require ~1kV dc, which has to come out of an oscillating boost converter 3) need very energetic photon to work, which means collecting radioactive crud locally, you typically won't be able to post it )
asciilifeform: the straightest way to rngize decay is to count ticks (shorter -- better) between decays, and then vonneumannize.
mircea_popescu: that'd be the ultimate rng pump. "We have this array of matter -- think memory stick. at every given tick, each either decays or doesn't. tick here has no physical meaning, it can be shorter than measurable irrespective of measuring mechanism"
asciilifeform: quite possibly we have usg/ru/etc. Official nyook-paranoia (detectors everywhere) mania to thank for the cheap lyso.
asciilifeform: just sittin' there.
mircea_popescu: and that's 90s dollars.
mircea_popescu: last time i looked at this it wouldn've been 1k+
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's actuyally cheap
Framedragger will move ass time permitting and collect his 1gb, too
mod6: ok, collecting another ~1Gb, this time using iflag=fullblock
asciilifeform: (hm, that paste got munged)
asciilifeform: would exceed this value 50.00 percent of the times.
Framedragger: ah yeah, timing's mixed up in ma head
mod6: I'm doing that test next.
mod6: Framedragger: alf's discovery of the padding flag wasn't found until after i had started this collection.
Framedragger: mod6: just fyi, your `dd if=/dev/ttyUSB0 of=fg1.fg3.bin` doesn't look to include that padding flag?
asciilifeform: ( 'weakness lottery' in the 'hungrier' stats. )
asciilifeform: looks pretty typical ^
mod6: Alright asciilifeform, mircea_popescu, et. al. Here's the 3rd run of the dh & ent against the third collection of ~1.1Gb of entropy. http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/fg1.dieharder_run3.txt http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/fg1.ent_run3.txt
BingoBoingo: Perhaps you haven't landscaped in enough ambushes and other tactical features for cats to enjoy.
BingoBoingo: they just produce too much food for the breeding vermin and cats simply lack time, or scale of vermin problem is bad for cat morale?
asciilifeform: how's that
BingoBoingo: Anyways perhaps the alf vermin problem is filthy neighbors rather than lazy cats?
BingoBoingo: Owl on the other hand eats fur and all
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Because cats are spree killers whose thrill hunger exceeds their food hunger
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I haven't seen cat since last year. Crediting kill to cat based on there being parts not eaten.
asciilifeform: ( then again, i have no accurate idea, perhaps without cats it would be wholly unmanageable )
asciilifeform: i have half dozen living in the underbrush here and they dun seem to make any palpable dent in the tree rat problem
asciilifeform: i gotta borrow this d00d's cat
