ben_vulpes: i'm not
the kind of guy who "just wants
to keep making video games", so i'd never have stuck around in
the first place.
ben_vulpes: always a shame
to see people
trading unhedged.
ben_vulpes: by virtue of it being fiatola,
the possessor is a
tentacle?
ben_vulpes: at
this point
the obvious rejoinder is "if not in wot --
tentacle"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: carmack had
to show up, new employer was on
trial.
mod6: <+jhvh1> shinohai:
Time since last block: 1 minute and 47 seconds << I'm not sure who is
the admin for
this one off hand, but is
there any opposition
to adding
the current block height on
there along with
the
time?
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 17:48 asciilifeform: guilt,” anti-feminist organization. When NYC Antifa began
to share information about members of
the group with
their employers (in many cases leading
to job loss), McInnes urged
the Proud Boys
to attend an Antifa concert and ‘wreck
the s–t’ of
the ‘f–gots.'”'
mircea_popescu: in other news * Your host is verne.freenode.net[185.30.166.37/8001], running version ircd-seven-1.1.4 is an utter piece of shit, disconnected me what, a dozen
times past few days ?
mircea_popescu: (nobody seems
to remember, by
the way,
that
the downing of
the f117 "invisible" wasn't JUST
THAT.
the serbs had also CRACKED NATO CODES.
the fucking serbs.
there's barely enough of
them
to play football.)
mircea_popescu: the only
thing
they handed over was a) own arsehole and b) pellets of dollar bills.
mircea_popescu: i dunno ;
the "two weeks
to
take mosul" worked even better
than
that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're apparently unfamiliar with how
the usg works ?
mircea_popescu: if it worked with
the "sorry we didn't know it was invisible",
then why not quantum something
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only possible follow
to
the idiocy is, of course,
the usg declaring
that it HAS!11 qc, and
the ustards also believing.
mircea_popescu: "THE VERY MATERIALS
THE SPANISH WILL FOR
THE FIRST
TIME BRING !!1"
shinohai: No one expects
the Spanish inquisition
mircea_popescu: ~same as an island full of monkeys going "and if
the spanyards come and burn down all our houses ? WE MUST BUILD SPANYARD PROOF HOUSES"
mircea_popescu: one year seems a reasonable polling interval considering
the relative importance of
the object.
shinohai: Oh wait, seems
this was published roughly 8 months ago ... but had not heard him speak
this retardation.
mircea_popescu: shinohai remarkable how many craws
teh satoshi manages
to stick into huh.
mircea_popescu: there's apparently a whole lot of hair rubbing on
the abdomen.
mircea_popescu: i am unsure about
that part ; left
to
their own devices female gender expression is what you see in 1970s pornos.
shinohai: So it appears
Theymos is now calling for Satoshi's coins
to be destroyed.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 15:41 mircea_popescu: in other news from
the lands of
the retards, it is now impossible in argentina
to buy normal male underwear. all
they have on sale, ANYWHERE (because yes it's 10mn strong, but no
there's no five distinct shops, just 10k clones of
the same one) is male stripper underwear. because hey, faggots won
the culture war or some dumb shit.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: poisson was actually a doctor, and clasically his
thing is applied
to
the question "if on average
the er sees six patients a day, what are
the odds of it seeing 74
this monday morning"
PeterL took a stats class in college, but
that was many years ago
mircea_popescu: but anyway, PeterL , in fair
trade : do you know what a poisson distribution is ?
mircea_popescu: in which we find python uses () incorrectly : it's inclusive on
the bottom and exclusive on
the
top ? shouldn't it be [)
then ?
PeterL: (actually, first I solved it in excel,
then I
thought it would have been simpler
to write a python function, so I did
that )
PeterL: I suppose
there are more elegant ways of solving
the problem
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 17:39 mircea_popescu: oh and for
the aspiring statisticians, here's a question : given
that
there's 40 different
trilema headers, and one's picked each day randomly, how many days needs one visit
trilema in order
to have better
than 50% chances of having seen all of
them ?

to know how
to wholly replace /dev/urandom with $entropyfile
to make gpg key with all speshul bits
mircea_popescu: then have him drop his pants
to check, and cut off his penis once
the inevitable COLORED ; WEIRD pair of GIRL panties shows up.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should actually be doing
this, accost young men, go "hey, you're a little bitch faggot, aren't you ? do you know what we do
to little bitch faggots ?" while waving machete around.

they're pretty shitty.
tmsr pgp should prolly use a better scheme
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 05:46 phf: it's a combination of passphrase mangling (by default sha-1)
to derive
the key, and symmetric algorithm (be default aes-128)
to encrypt
the privkey. i don't
think we had any discussion about
this..

to dispense with linux' entropy estimates, etc

☟︎ phf: unrelatedly i was wondering if gpg passwords are promisetronic. how do
they even work?
there's some symmetric encryption scheme used
to encrypt
the privkey, or can passwords be somehow integrated into rsa scheme?
phf: mircea_popescu:
turns out
that i have a very skewed perspective on life in su
phf: my mom had one of
those "papa escaped
the purges by burning all paperwork but life got
tough when
they
took our governess" piano
teachers, who would lament about being forced
to
teach peasants and brown folk, not on racial grounds as much as "you have
to have a bidet in your house for 3 generations, before you can
touch a piano"
☟︎☟︎☟︎ phf: moscow universities had explicit quotas for
the applicants from
the -stans, but it was probably not as obvious elsewhere
mircea_popescu: i dun
think mine ever had a clue re. actually, i doubt if 1 in 3 ru parents remember, leat 2017.
