asciilifeform: or, alternatively, relish the notion of lasers-at-dawn

asciilifeform: if anything, they may (depending on inclinations) cower in feat of the inevitable laser pistol battles

asciilifeform: would folks 'have the expectation that room-temp supercon will work for them' ?

asciilifeform: let's imagine that holy grail, room-temperature superconductor, were discovered tonight

asciilifeform: the 'work self' thing i remember, but still find it bizarre

asciilifeform probably needs to reread tlp, because he finds this a little confusing

asciilifeform: that's kinda how i pictured the narcissism working - you play 'paratrooper' and imagine that you are in fact a ww2 hero

asciilifeform: another matter entirely to lazily play game 'paratrooper'

asciilifeform: it's one thing to sign a freshly-packet parachute with your blood, swearing 'i am responsible for this, whatever happens'

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: but from where comes the fear, when no one is looking and the maths are safely under your blanket in the cover of night ?

asciilifeform shrugs, also doesn't know

asciilifeform: had to spend a grand total of two minutes reading, to learn this.

asciilifeform: into the skip, it goes.

asciilifeform: confirmed, netpgp uses openssl for the actual maths.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: which is a deal-killer

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: netbsd on pogo << last i checked, lacked support for internal eeprom

asciilifeform: netpgp << appears to use openssl...

asciilifeform is behind the times

asciilifeform: apparently, commercial SOP

asciilifeform: http://cvi.asm.org/content/5/4/419.full

asciilifeform: so concentrations of virus in fluid for the purpose of transmission - yes, extremely low to none

asciilifeform: but for the antibodies.

asciilifeform: on other hand, we aren't looking for the virus.

asciilifeform: quite possibly.

asciilifeform: parachute also can fail, yes.

asciilifeform: immunoreactive test at ppb concentration is not a wholly outlandish concept

asciilifeform: afaik nobody gives a damn re: syphilis today.

asciilifeform: (see old thread on the subject)

asciilifeform: that requires 'spit in cup, five seconds'

asciilifeform: likewise, device requiring drops of blood is a nonstarter from the perspective of thermonuking the contagion.

asciilifeform: Cheap Smartphone Dongle Diagnoses HIV And Syphilis In 15 Minutes << sham. not in that the tech doesn't work (it does) but in that it is the ordinary single-shot immunoreactive test, but for some (chumpatronic) reason someone bolted it on to a pNohe.

asciilifeform: punkman: micro-ecc << very interesting. mainly in that it is actually small enough to read.

asciilifeform: 305112.

asciilifeform: ;;bc,stats

asciilifeform to bed

asciilifeform: punkman: my www is largely about these particular things.

asciilifeform: 'worrydream' is not graham

asciilifeform: 1968.

asciilifeform: it's a bell labs product incidentally.

asciilifeform: obligatory for all serious weirdlang aficionados.

asciilifeform: ^ scan

asciilifeform: http://worrydream.com/refs/Griswold-TheSnobolProgrammingLanguage.pdf

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: pogo ?

asciilifeform: punkman: on what ?

asciilifeform: i may never have sat down to play with it had the library not thrown out (yes) the only book on it therein.

asciilifeform: (no, not 'cobol for snob', as i once thought as a kid)

asciilifeform: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SnobolLanguage

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would probably have enjoyed snobol.

asciilifeform 'didn't have anything to do in it' likewise for first decade or so of knowing

asciilifeform: ancient hypothesis where the former ate up the latter

asciilifeform: !up gabriel_laddel

asciilifeform: at least for most of'em

asciilifeform: i'd bet it's a solid, tangible string

asciilifeform: perhaps will say to the camera

asciilifeform: maybe davis will tell us what it was if he finally recovers his courage and eats his luger on camera

asciilifeform: (what string? ask gerald davis or any of the rest, i've no idea)

asciilifeform: until head comes off.

asciilifeform: they'd pull whatever string was attached to the muppet

asciilifeform: all that's missing is a usg-operated altcoin to go with it

asciilifeform: which laughs all the way to the bank whether man or monkey sits down and pens prospectus / collects.

asciilifeform: referring to ks itself

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: kickstarter article: ks is straight from the encyclopaedia of chumpatronic circuits, chapter 'make use of chumps directly in the machine’s control system.' as in 'multi-level' crapolade of every variety.

asciilifeform: consult the literature.

asciilifeform: (practice for weapons cache emplacement and retrieval.)

asciilifeform: exciting when done the proper way

asciilifeform: not exciting at all with radio cheat.

asciilifeform: don't be the fellow who follows his 'gps' receiver off the derelict bridge and into the sea.

asciilifeform: knowing what we know about the folks of the tardphorum, it is worth the while of anyone who actually gives a flying fuck, to consult the source.

asciilifeform: iirc not ignored

asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/ident?_i=VerifySignature

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2015/gerald-davis-is-wrong-heres-why/#comment-112039 << to whoever was asking for winblows

asciilifeform remembers this brouhaha, did not verify the claim personally

asciilifeform: 'Until recently, OpenSSL's releases would accept various deviations from the DER standard and accept signatures as valid. When this changed in OpenSSL 1.0.0p and 1.0.1k, it made some nodes reject the chain.' - from the phoundation document linked above.

asciilifeform: but did warn!

asciilifeform: i pulled an openssl out of me arse

asciilifeform points out that the pictured scene is not his house. he only wishes it were.

asciilifeform: *thought

asciilifeform: found video subbing tool, and though that there was a list of things i was once going to sub, but for some reason found in my notes only this.

asciilifeform: ^ and also sound starts muted for some reason.

asciilifeform: http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/rcQaef4yYJyn/info/moia-masterskaia << ben_vulpes, BingoBoingo, others << my attempt at subtitling a certain memorable photo brag (not mine!). to enable the subs, click CC on bottom left hand corner (not the usual bottom right on youtube.)

asciilifeform: in its particular zoo

asciilifeform: this was big

asciilifeform: the simplest possible chumpamatic.

asciilifeform: but still end up wondering in what circus the dwarf and giant met.

asciilifeform: but why -that- fraud

asciilifeform: it was nowhere near this figure, iirc, when comment appeared

asciilifeform: so it can't be that

asciilifeform: i would have guessed that this is to be a 'cliff's notes' (american book series of ready-baked crib sheets for f-students) for sicp, but the latter is no longer (afaik) assigned in school

asciilifeform: shakespeare distilled!

asciilifeform: paging herr bowdler!

asciilifeform: or did that also quietly walk away somewhere

asciilifeform: (is it still safe to assume that english speaking folks read it?)

asciilifeform: see also the original 'modest proposal' by swift.

asciilifeform: phree gipht.

asciilifeform: it's sorta the basic point of my site in a sentence.

asciilifeform: believe or not, that thread -still- gets comments.

asciilifeform: ah.

asciilifeform remembers and lolz
