asciilifeform: veeery short-term thinking, is what they run on, as i understand.
mircea_popescu: you couldn't make up a worse party if you deliberately tried, as a livresque exercise. i can scarcely imagine there's anyone anywhere idiotic enough to allign himself with this shit as some sort of will-to-power thing.
mircea_popescu: bunch of old women are supposed to manage to misrepresent their trite idiocies as hip and "universal consensus", though the unlikely venue of marking reddit user groups as spam and deleting shit people said on twitter. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-04#1665928 << i find it somewhat amusing that just as soon as independent ruler sends da's to investigate usg corruption, isis discovers it really can't live w/o philippines ☝︎
asciilifeform: or was this same as in prev thread re subj
mod6: <+asciilifeform> lol i have the 'extreme' one going as we speak, << these are awesome!
asciilifeform: lol i have the 'extreme' one going as we speak,
mircea_popescu: shinohai one funny aspect is that apparently dorks imagine "i'm trying to" as some sort of blank card, dun need to make any sort of effort to explain meaningfully what you're doing. "i'm trying to", good enough.
BingoBoingo: It was a short one. As much as Nebraska barely exists now, it's existence was more barely in the time leading up to Herr Lincoln's war of aggression
shinohai: Spell check is actually kind of worthless as exists now if you speak more than a single language ....
BingoBoingo: Not as .asc, as paste
BingoBoingo: 3. Surrender your will and life to TMSR as you understand it
sina: but in my mind, all this time, as I navigated through my day to day life, I have been thinking that you rated me as sexy
a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 02:12 erlehmann: on the other hand, i successfully used “see, this guy sold his dukedom in 2013” as argument to convince someone that urbit is of no use
erlehmann: asciilifeform as i understand it, “~/ %add” says “use the C implementation here”. fun exercise: remove ~/ digraphs until implementation breaks.
erlehmann: cheap as in == easy to acquire
mircea_popescu: erlehmann the problem with this approach is that females don't actually have much interesting to say as a general rule ; and the ones that do are too busy to be worth much on the hookup front.
asciilifeform: erlehmann: in practice it's a nightmare of 'chinese scholarship' -- you're forced to stick to particular forms so as to goad the recognizer into maybe-working
mircea_popescu: i dunno what one'd have to have been eating in college to imagine jets as "a-wizard-did-it" handwave solution could possibly work in any practically useful sense.
mircea_popescu: usually known in bitcoin as "idea people"
asciilifeform: 'Muen uses Intel’s hardware-assisted virtualization technology VT-x as core mechanism to separate components. The kernel executes in VMX root mode..' << lulzy liquishit
trinque: erlehmann: I was asking you which fp you wanted to use, as several made it in here. I gather you registered more than one key?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids we pretty much settled on ada as the proper environment for critical code, more or less.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-02 23:56 erlehmann: dear diary, yesterday a person on IRC asked me if i am jealous after i referred to ethereum as a scam again. jealous, i asked. yes, she answered, jealous of people who invest in cryptocurrencies!
BingoBoingo: submission to editor, as encrypted and signed text http://trilema.com/2015/lacessiveram-editor/
phf: in unrelated lulz erlehmann tried registering with deedbot with his key http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/vRSvx/?raw=true, every time he submits this url it returns the fingerprint 58FD21A3F5C47E7AB50496176468DB63F020E509, and he can do it multiple times. the result though is that the system appears it be in some weird partial state. i could rate him, as seen here, http://wot.deedbot.org/BDDE12104FE81BE7F83B698F5356DE4752432A9E.html but clicki
erlehmann: BingoBoingo does there exist a gatekeeping mechanism so that qntra does not drown in horsecock as kuro5hin did?
erlehmann: > Ostracism was crucially different from Athenian law at the time; there was no charge, and no defence could be mounted by the person expelled. The two stages of the procedure ran in the reverse order from that used under almost any trial system — here it is as if a jury are first asked "Do you want to find someone guilty?", and subsequently asked "Whom do you wish to accuse?"
asciilifeform: in such a way as to judas goat the authors of said code to rewrite it such that it DEMANDS the new 'improved' compiler. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
erlehmann: i see it as a kind of type annotation
asciilifeform: point re esr, is that he agreed to work as an ideological judas goat to counter rms
erlehmann: reason: i wrote a vintage filter for GNOME 3 when i discovered their screenshot app has a postprocessing step. i submitted patch and one person saw it as the garbage it was intended as, but then others were like WHAT A COOL EASTER EGG MERGE.
erlehmann: if you have GNOME 3, you have software on your computer that i wrote as a joke
erlehmann: on the other hand, i successfully used “see, this guy sold his dukedom in 2013” as argument to convince someone that urbit is of no use ☟︎
asciilifeform: but it ended up as a fairly standard 'altcoin scam', yes
phf: (actually i'm not getting the same result from ascii's version as you do in your evaluator, but i don't want to devote any more time to it)
erlehmann: as far as i can remember, i actually used it for debugging
asciilifeform: ( mr. mold advocated for 'patchwork states', which were -- best as anyone could tell -- a miraculous resurrection of 16th c. italian provinces, somehow balanced in mutual non-nukeability . but in 'urbit' he implemented a reich, with central control and total dependence on the 'palace' )
erlehmann: but then again i was sceptical of weev's aryan awakening at first as well
erlehmann: in my opinion, having python and sqlites as dependencies is a massive no-go for a build system.
erlehmann: as the saying goes in german: wenn du einen hammer hast, kannst du die ganze welt nageln!
a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 00:35 erlehmann: asciilifeform do you have an opinion on DJB redo? or maybe even a simpler design? i would only trust my own implementation and MAYBE the one from jonathan de boyne pollard (although he requires a C++ compiler as a dependency, lol)
erlehmann: v looks like a nice approach as far as i can see (and is the reason i chose to join #trilema), but as i commented, i suspect there exist parser differentials
phf: there's a handful of those, for example in the experimental there's three patches from polarbeard, a guy who joined as we were regriding a bunch of shit, so he had to update his patches a bunch of times and then gave up. nobody cared to reintegrate his patches properly yet
erlehmann: asciilifeform do you have an opinion on DJB redo? or maybe even a simpler design? i would only trust my own implementation and MAYBE the one from jonathan de boyne pollard (although he requires a C++ compiler as a dependency, lol) ☟︎
erlehmann: as a free-software enthusiast myself, i have managed to experience many invitations to “netflix and chill” entirely without netflix. freedoms preserved!
erlehmann: as far as i can remember, we did not talk about fpga. his example was some company creating your board and not you.
erlehmann: i suspect the effect is not as notable for other people as for me, but qwertz hurts, neo2 does not.
asciilifeform: most of my time is spent thinking, not pressing keys as-fast-as-possible
erlehmann: dear diary, yesterday a person on IRC asked me if i am jealous after i referred to ethereum as a scam again. jealous, i asked. yes, she answered, jealous of people who invest in cryptocurrencies! ☟︎
asciilifeform: you can then use it as a manual sharp-needle-poke
asciilifeform: they're why a misbauded FG is nogood as an rng
mod6: im more... using it as a vehicle to learn how to scope.
asciilifeform: ( not, as you can already guess, contiguously -- but when there's a byte ready )
mircea_popescu: "We are killing masculinity. Maleness in all its forms has been deprecated as an outdated bit of software. Something to be rewritten for the modern world."
asciilifeform: ( ru still has crown-as-principle-economic-agent megastate, for instance )
a111: Logged on 2014-01-26 19:37 asciilifeform: just as the chinese replied, in '89, to 'why tanks?', with 'we aren't the u.s., can't afford warehouses full of "humane" riot gear'
asciilifeform: when you have stampedes in the capital, you ( ruler/civ1player ) Have A Problem ; just as d00d with tumour that is large enough to be palpable, has problem
mircea_popescu: young people are going to be stupid, this is a given. might as well deal with the naive than with the millitantly idiotic.
mircea_popescu: so you know, made 50bn gdp, bout same as panama, 4x nicaragua. which is how come all the chicks in strip joints are nigaraguaneans.
mircea_popescu: but the scandal exposed a coupla lulz, such as that the ucr spends 80% (!!!) of its income to pay salaries, and that income is ~500mn a year.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz ~nobody cares about : ucr (universidad de costa rica) is this massively dominant player. apparently it has 3`623 non-tenured, 1`726 tenured faculty. the former are bitchin' that they want "the same salary conditions" as the latter, which is very much representative of latino mental simplicity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes because reasons. REASONS == independent, as always.
asciilifeform: it is tempting to think of inflation as a scalar, but it isn't a scalar.
phf: oh, i know this area, obama's neighborhood is 5 minutes walking from me, it's all old construction, so not so much a "mega-house" as a large&old dc property (apparently made from real stone!1)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-02 06:48 jurov: radeon opensource driver works decently here. but kernel config alone is not enough, you have to feed it correct firmware as described in $manual, too

ben_vulpes: VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" at least had the system booting, ="nouveau" hung as described
ben_vulpes: intel i7, nvidia geforce 550 ti, and as for "which kernel" i do not properly know how to answer the question but built with CHOST="x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu"
phf: “e-TeX is assumed nowadays by everything other than 'pure' plain TeX. AS
asciilifeform: so as to make massive heap on the guillotine
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it is viable only in the very restricted sense of the jp legend of the d00d who swallowed a stone ahead of his beheading so as to chip the sword
asciilifeform never graduated to having this problem, and so never wasted cycles considering it, just as he does not stop to think 'game plan!111' of 'what do do when on mars'
a111: Logged on 2017-06-01 17:43 Framedragger: "As for the ultimate fate of the site, I'll have more to say about that soon. Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history. Even Yahoo, for whom mismanagement is usually effortless, had to work hard to keep Delicious down. I bought it in part so it wouldn’t disappear from the web."
asciilifeform: reading simply consists of waving the wand across the page, in various directions, for as many swipes as it takes.

asciilifeform: trinque: mechanical expiration date of bitcoin-as-we-have-it is well earlier.
asciilifeform does not recommend the histogram thing as a firstline test, it was written as diagnostic to ferret out broken os
mod6: yeah, they were collected on linux as such ^
asciilifeform: sorta the point of 'ent', 'dieharder', etc. is so as not to have to do these by hand.
asciilifeform generally barfs at photos of 'pulled down statue' given as they figure prominently in orangerevolutionary material, of pissants kicking dead lions
asciilifeform: just as i will find turning over washington statues satisfying, if i live to partake of it
mircea_popescu: i don't think they go by what could be described as criteria.
BingoBoingo: Wigginton refused to take a Breathalyzer, according to the report. He posted $100 bail and was released. Wigginton resigned as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Illinois on Nov. 24, 2015, to work for a private law firm. Wigginton became U.S. attorney in August 2010 after former U.S. President Barack Obama nominated him to serve as the top prosecutor in the state’s southern 38 counties. Wigginton, a Democrat, replaced Republica
asciilifeform: ( pci etc would make moar sense for 'atomic' trng, as described in older thread, with the scintillator, because there your entropy extraction is limited more or less only by the clock speed of the take-off/debiaser and the dead time of the scintillator (1-5ns) )
asciilifeform: alternatively you can use a 'rs232 card', as formerly used to run dumb terminals, bbs modems, similar -- i have one here, happily does 9 ports
asciilifeform: phf: d00d was always a bit... odd. recall his paper re 'make as little use of rng as possible, because ohnoez it could be subverted' ?
phf: because as it stands it all very much looks like "we don't need solutions because dat grant money"
asciilifeform: (from same horror show as earlier)
asciilifeform: and if someone wants to mention godel etc -- ethical engineer MAY NOT cite godel, EVER, just as a police detective MAY NOT cite the supernatural and admit a hypothesis of miraculous theft from a safe ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

erlehmann: but i have not yet found out why people are unaffected. and why i do not feel the same as they do.
erlehmann: i believe at least some crypto currency marketing triggers similar magpie instincts as earlier scams
erlehmann: i chose postfix notation and a wraparound ringbuffer as a “stack” because postfix can always be evaluated
erlehmann: system does not fit in head as easily
asciilifeform: because so long as you stay in the voltage and hold time constraints ( and you won't be violating these over internet ) it will give correct answer, now and 1000 yrs from now, to all physically possible inputs.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-31#1663689 << i believe you misquoted out of context. the purpose of that was to (as you can see if you read till end of para), "The challenge here is to show that secure multi-user RSA key generation can becarried out more efficiently than one-user-at-a-time RSA key generation" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as per an ancient thread re dynamic vs static models.
mircea_popescu: there's also the suspicion that the only reason this "appears to work" as a securitizing approach has to do strictyly with it not being in general use.
