hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867497 << not even so much interest, i was more or less drafted. i'm happy to do whatever i can, but i see multiple issues here; i don't in any case want to take your seat, and honestly i don't think "outreach" is a splinter of the foundation's operation, fit for a single person. afaik it's the core of what the thing was supposed to do, and the core of its failure to date, and given a potentially unbounded budge ☝︎
bvt: hello. i wrote a summary for linux system call investigation http://bvt-trace.net/2018/11/linux-portability-part-3-summary/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with their minister of technology, industry, or whatever the fuck, explain to the secretarial overseer you end up seeing that the republic is in principle willing to do some tech transfer help them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set the bozo bit on the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending to be a country ? ☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: In other local prey behaviors, theft from unattended vehicle titled as though it may have been a robbery of the physical person: http://archive.is/hIZ6E https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/le-robaron-al-jefe-de-policia-de-montevideo-201811317942
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently the pig-riding faery is "complicated", but there is a button labeled RECHARGE in the bottom center, which should take you to the right place if you feel like trying again.
Mocky: just got a nibble on my BTC ad, someone created an account named SyedAlthaf 20 minutes ago and opened a cash buy of 500 QR worth. But then cancelled trade 1 minute later.
BingoBoingo: http://trilema.com/2018/qntra-sqntr-october-2018-statement/#comment-126949 << One hell of a number/word intersection
mircea_popescu: i wonder what galazies have to allign for the next mp to come along, "suyre, here's a twenny"
asciilifeform: ugh it just flipped into some scene where i'm a fairy riding a sow with bow tie and i have nfi what to do with this
mircea_popescu: idiocy is a matter of mindstate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform similarily there's 10`000 things to do around my household, but some girlies still derp about their "going to college" or "having a boyfriend" or whatnot.
mircea_popescu: it's a very strict cleaving, what. a dood that's useful will be useful and a dood that's not useful will be useless. there's about eight trillion barns separating the slowest gamma from the fastest beta.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'sad serpent hole', a d00d like shinohai could easily take my proggy and determine whether e.g. aes's, key expander is injective (afaik nobody ever bothered)
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone wanna do a $20 paypal for me ?
asciilifeform: it's a 100% solved, in the mathematical sense, problem.
asciilifeform: i'd buy a 8192b-reg mips right nao.
asciilifeform: quasi-relatedly: asciilifeform found out that it is actually possible to fit an rsatron into ice40, if one uses a bit-serial multiplier into external sram. a 4096x4096 mul would then take 8192 clock cycles ( 16384 if counting all load/stores. ) but we can come back to this item laters.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu earlier emboldened asciilifeform into a 'let's slow but working rsatron sooner, rather than eternal massage, why not massage later' approach.
asciilifeform: ( mine is equipped with a rather questionable 2010s freebsd )
mircea_popescu: a right right.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: non-usgistic fw for ye olde 'edgerouter' box. asciilifeform has a duct-taped version in use locally, mircea_popescu had idea where it gets cleaned up and offered to e.g. pizarro for packet-filter
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 20:48 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of "taking suggestions" : suppose you bake me a proper drop-in gpg replacement. in ada, constant time, does FG-aware keygen, signing, verification, and encryption/decription. 100% rsa, none of the "cipher" bs as per current.
mircea_popescu: the way to pretend to be part of the republic without being part of the republic is AT A DISTANCE. like all those schmucks "working on their phd" telling chicks "o yea, i totally know mp, we netflix and chill all the time" at "tech conferences". not by fucking dribbling here.
mod6: jurov: Yeah, we'd love to have a wire sent by the 10th.
mod6: (mutt being a successor to elm)
asciilifeform: ( they're a lower-current / flatter ver. of crt, really )
asciilifeform: ( doubled as a heater, at one time i lived in a flat where they didn't stoke the boiler till december )
asciilifeform: i threw out a crt coupla yrs ago, with 'pine' burn-in
trinque: isn't a republican way to mind your wife either.
trinque: I have as well. I will never touch a fucking smtp server as long as I live.
trinque: this has been expanding into a general principle in my life, of the matters that are republican, and the matters that aren't.
trinque: it is, and I think it's a fool that tries to chase them into the "one moar magical DNS value" or misc other will make it work.
asciilifeform: trinque: i ran own postfix etc for yrs, and the box still alive, but i've found that actual ~delivery~ of mail ~from~ it into heathendom, is a crap shoot naodays
trinque: beelzebub can own as many stupid things that shouldn't exist as he likes, from where I sit. google wants smtp mail, oh please, have a second helping.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1869015 << x86 process isolation is a perma-joke, been clear for ages ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1869016 << this is prolly a neato item but (to the possible surprise of some people) asciilifeform doesn't 'live in emacs' in the sense of using it for things that ain't files-on-disk editing ☝︎☟︎
trinque: mu4e is probably the best email interface I've used, can shred an inbox of 100s in a few minutes
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/11/another-intel-cpu-sidechannel-leak-documented-with-the-leak-dependent-once-again-on-a-thing-intel-did-to-boost-appearance-of-speed/ << Qntra - Another Intel CPU Sidechannel Leak Documented With The Leak Dependent Once Again On A Thing Intel Did To Boost Appearance Of Speed ☟︎
asciilifeform still occasionally uses email, does not have a stable of meatbots that'd allow him to pretend not to
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they say it may take as much as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ? << I'll think about it a bit more. I'll double check the math, but if the transfer is 5 weeks out that still leaves us a margin of safety from the month of guarentee put up when service started.
mircea_popescu: but asciilifeform "couldn't", then. and i guess we're going to terribly regret not sending in fucking helicopters to extract him from the concentration camp he ended up into through stubbornly refusing to fucking leave on his own two feet for a decade.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's actually a return to 'vhs era' barbarism, prior to at&t breakup they also leased pnoje , could not buy )
mircea_popescu: seems to me like the empire-of-can't-pay-outside-obligations is moving into a soviet outfit. got plasticar, plastiphone, plastifastfood and on your way.
mircea_popescu: "here, have a shitbox. you don't need real computer anyway"
mircea_popescu: or is the idea dude's as hollow as a bagpipe.
mircea_popescu: left him a comment, why not.
asciilifeform: ( maths d00d, of a sort. why spams? i do not know )
asciilifeform: copa a+++
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if worst comes to worst, next time someone does a supply run they fly copa like sane people, and ima have someone meet them in panama with brown paper bag.
asciilifeform: (1st time i hear of such a thing)
mircea_popescu: it would seem the moloch is experiencing the early phase of a liquidity crunch.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other http://trilema.com/2016/sad-times-in-the-fiat-empire-apparently-you-cant-give-the-dollar-away-these-days/ news : wire processor informs me that they've a HUGE backlog of usd-to-ourside-reich transfers, and they're barely trickling out. ☟︎
diana_coman: basically they tend to sound less like "automated result of syntactical analysis " and a bit more like some sort of summary: this and this and that were apparently the topics
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 16:31 mircea_popescu: diana_coman you should see nicole keks. has a notebook with things to ask me "when it's a good time".
mircea_popescu: pimpin's a dying art, is it.
Mocky: the hotels do. hotels need a way to distance themselves from the occasionaly law enforcement, scapegoat
mircea_popescu: do they have pimps btw ? or is it a case of bureaucracy pimping the girls
mircea_popescu: keks. well, one doesn't traditionally buy whores by getting fixated on a particular one.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, blowjob in the bushes is traditionally deemed 20 bucks, though it varies, in rural areas with old whores it's a ciggarette or w/e.
mircea_popescu: definitely do a post on that.
Mocky: what would be considered a normal rate for an hour with a whore? i don't know anything about how things are elsewhere
Mocky: and then the whores, oh my god, imma have to do a post on that
Mocky: not allowed to leave house but one day a week, even then with cerfew
Mocky: the 75/25 male female ratio is actually a lot worse than that, given how locked down a lot of the domestic female workers are
BingoBoingo: I suspect combination of advanced age dementia leading to a misperception of local cock availability
mircea_popescu: what was the problem, she expected a tip you didn't provide, as far as you know ?
Mocky: she's not speaking to me anymore. i've got a few days to get one of these other chicks to do it tho
mircea_popescu: that way we could end up with a bunch of gay-for-convenience indian dudes in skinny jeans tryna import their handicrafts into here, too!
mircea_popescu: Mocky so are you gonna tell the "Daos" dorks how lulzy they are, what a republic is, and how it's been wearing them for dick ornaments this entire time ?
mircea_popescu: a a
Mocky: in terms of actual traders, the guy actually trading on localbitcoins pulled his ad. So I posted my own ad up. It's been up for some time now, more than a week i think. no locals contacted me yet
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: On a typical day they tend to stay in their compound in Barrio Sur (el barrio afrodescendiente)
Mocky: mircea_popescu, there's a "gulf blockchain foundation" meet up in three days I'm going to. two speaks giving talks then mingle time: "Governance: DAOs and traditional governance" and "Proof of scam: Drawing the line between the good and the bad"
mircea_popescu: a bit!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you should see nicole keks. has a notebook with things to ask me "when it's a good time". ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 15:39 asciilifeform: ( we're roughly where we were 1wk ago, if with a coupla new grey hairs )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1868800 << amusingly enough i was complaining a few days ago (to a disbelieving audience) that my white beard patch is fading out. ☝︎
diana_coman: in other lol: I guess I can claim that I got here the youngest log reader - the child reads a tid-bit of it ~every time he comes by for anything, even though he struggles on some words ("etc?"); makes for a very good example: yes, you CAN read but you still have a pile of stuff to figure out before it makes any sense
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 13:42 diana_coman: I must say that I can't even find it funny anymore: I even received here a flyer with something ~"Oxford women in computer science: Oxford's next Bitcoin Blockchain" and I found it... inane, nothing else
diana_coman will do a 2nd pass of it a bit later today
mircea_popescu: it's that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760109 but for a different sort of socialism : rooslveltist socialism, the femvariant. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( if you change one, you ipso facto have a new output )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i were a prankster i'd ring the bell to ask how his wife's doing and when did she pass.
trinque: yeah, just spun up my bimbo-emu neural net for a sec
mircea_popescu: trinque and part of a large collection of indistinct-but-distinguishable sameitems.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i once saw a vintage door sign, 'this is a cobbler shop, there are no prostitutes at this address, thank you'
asciilifeform: scheduler would've been a lulzy place to hide the boojum.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-29 05:07 asciilifeform: relatedly, asciilifeform tried to bake a proof that the lamehash keyinflater function of serpent is one-to-one ( i.e. actually carries 256bit of the key register's entropy into the 528 bytes of whiteolade ) and not only didnt , but realized that afaik no such proof exists for any 'troo' hash also ( incl keccak.. )
asciilifeform: ( and it is prolly possible to fit the 'storm' into a yet-smaller 'teacup', even )
asciilifeform: and if anyone can think of a shorter one that still 'fits in head', plox to post, and i'ma link to it.
asciilifeform: ( we're roughly where we were 1wk ago, if with a coupla new grey hairs ) ☟︎
diana_coman: it is at any rate a very nice example to follow re investigating something of this sort; thank you asciilifeform !
diana_coman: I must say that I can't even find it funny anymore: I even received here a flyer with something ~"Oxford women in computer science: Oxford's next Bitcoin Blockchain" and I found it... inane, nothing else ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( there's prolly enuff of them that one could even squeeze a meager living from it ! like e.g. rat catchers in 18th c london )
asciilifeform: hey that's a godly work
a111: Logged on 2018-10-31 23:18 mircea_popescu: diana_coman http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1867935 << he;'s got a solid point there.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-31#1868075 -> there being a few more points there though since "and" requires fixed and same sizes of the two operands while now they are loosely "Integers" ; and sure, I can cast them to some fixed size type but then I make the whole package depend on Interfaces ☝︎
mircea_popescu: because gee whiz, "i am not prepared to answer this question" is strictly speaking dementia, a seven year old is expected to be ahead of that, which is why that's when they start formal schooling.
mircea_popescu: and no, they couldn't be "anything". i'm not asking fucking naively, "please supply a string for my exec()". i'm asking to see whether they're fucking demented or not.
