mircea_popescu: (ro poliwhore (romanians send the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-04#1637413 to politics, as opposed to runt of sons litter) reading english in rwandan at un meeting) ☝︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and with same obummer gas as 1st.
asciilifeform: but as a massively-distributed long-term backup, aluminum is ~unbeaten -- it's probably the only reason asciilifeform was able to find a copy of genera ☟︎
asciilifeform: solely as 'fleet in being' effect
phf: asciilifeform: i can't find any announcement. only mention is on the front page, everywhere else it's same as it's always been
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's a thing that has 2 modes, 'ahci' and 'legacy' (or 'compatibility') << I refer to these modes internally as "James Lafond Presents Baltimore" and "Antebellum Kitchen"
mircea_popescu: ie, are you sure you put the drive as the FIRST physical device in the "array" ?
mircea_popescu: as in kernel panic of nothing ?
asciilifeform: and will work just as well (which is -- quite well.)
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i have not tried it personally. but, given the vintage, i suspect that it is same chip as on my 3ware.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 18:06 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron what format is the mysql database stored as, sql ? its native binary whatever it is ?
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/04/majority-black-ferguson-missouri-re-elects-white-man-as-mayor/ << Qntra - Majority Black Ferguson Missouri Re-Elects White Man As Mayor
mircea_popescu: hey, what can i tell you. if you were in the town when the town caught a little fire, uncle celestial teapot wants you. noli turbare circulos meos may work, but just as well may not work.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd bet they see ~us~ as the outnumbered zulu. not themselves.
mircea_popescu: as for instance the recent princeton thing may have suggested, /me is not at all fond of this juche business.
asciilifeform: assimilationist ('i'ma go to new york and suck white cock the rest of my days') or irredentist ('i'ma learn to ride horses, shoot rifles, and kill as many of them as i can')
asciilifeform: i forget the original term, but translates to eng as something like 'kowtow' (originally itself a corruption of chinese word)
Framedragger: CompanionCube: i checked and apparently selenium is primarily branded as 'automation framework' - you're right (but folx use it for scraping)
asciilifeform: in the end you're just as dead.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: do you mean that "single archive request handled by dedicated process which terminates at end of request" wouldn't be enough in terms of cleanup? (due to js as vector of attack to machine?)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron what format is the mysql database stored as, sql ? its native binary whatever it is ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose in principle could exist as an "proper archival browser extension". i suppose very close to what ppl like browsershots etc do
Framedragger: (i suppose an imperfect ('may fail on particularly gruesome imperial sites', say) prototype as a *standalone command line program* would make sense.)
phf: but it doesn't invovoke truetype ~as one last pass~. instead you have fifty different truetype invocations to lay out a small surface, that's placed into an hierarchy of such surfaces
mircea_popescu: phf> state of the art for blind folx is misserable. << about same as in 1997.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ideally you want it running in a qemu-like thing with randomly-generated instruction set. << this may be overkill. could as well run it in a rom-os machine or something.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: as phf said, archive.is output does not contain js. just to clarify.
ben_vulpes: as soon as one attempts to spend from one of those hashed addresses you're in a race with everyone to get the txn confirmed though
asciilifeform: the traditional notion is 'ecdsa breaks ? folx who have hash-only outputs can simply use them as lamport signatures'
asciilifeform: the risk taken by soldier is just as imaginary an object.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't mean problem as in "bad thing to fix" i meant problem as in "legitimate topic"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not like you have to, ever. for as long as you find it pays for you, by all means.
Framedragger: last note mircea_popescu, paper in question does acknowledge the fact that as regards rsa factorisation, their attempt is a *replication* (unless i misread). but yes, should be beaten for not mentioning phuctor.
mircea_popescu: of course replicating experiments are done all the time ; the important point being that they didn't identify theirs as such.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i guess may as well try, hm
mircea_popescu: and since we're discussion princeton : i wasn't going to say anything (which is why i didn't back then), but when some guy found metallic H ( see http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628809 ) princeton idiots came with a replicating experiment and have been trying to replace the original author with themselves ever since. which is just about as shameful. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: will you mark it as "alf key craked" or "alf key maybe vulnerable, gotta read this tomorrow" ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this great stance happens to have been held for many years, sucyh as for instance when in 2010 diana_coman didn't sleep a weekend to liberate the ro min of edu's data.
asciilifeform: as in, replicability.
diana_coman: Framedragger, the underlying issue from my point of view is that intellectual dishonesty essentially bars one from claiming to do research; they might be doing advertising, writing, experiments or anything else, but not research since they are not after finding things out as they are, but about finding something to eat or whatever
asciilifeform: as per mircea_popescu's old piece, 'They tend to show up late at parties because they figure they can always steal the cake anyway, so why bother go early ? Let the suckers figure out first - on their own dime - where the good cakes are' ☟︎
Framedragger: i mean, a large part of the paper is exposition. rsa, dht (relevant to how onion services work), etc.; so, it's not *interesting*. but it's not in any particular way shitty. i wouldn't have read it otherwise and certainly do not see it as very valuable.
asciilifeform suspects that it'll end the same way as all of the other cases
Framedragger: possible weaknesses of rsa keys and the idea to run a "your relay key is weak" service as part of tor metrics infrastructure (tor metrics itself is an old project, ca. 2011)
asciilifeform: ignoring 5 yrs of prior art will get you nailed in patent court, but in 'academia' it is apparently quite all right, so log as it is 'terrorist' prior art
mircea_popescu: as it expects somehow "what's right" to matter naturally.
asciilifeform: even though shitoshi, through having been dropped as a child, theoretically permitted it.
asciilifeform: but how does this 'need genesis block' ? yes it's a miner puzzle that uses genesis block as key. it could have just as easily used bible as key.
asciilifeform: the scripttron offers no such knob as 'gimme a block hash', not in satoshi's thing
mircea_popescu: i somehow don't believe that thing actually works as long term archiving anymore.
shinohai: Whether it be Aunt Jemimah or Anti-Semitic Russians, long as I get mine.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 23:34 pete_dushenski: in other bids and asks, insurers are slapping safety conscious car buyers with HIGHER premiums. lol as they should. http://archive.is/nUH19 . http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-04#1637487 being the controlling point.
CompanionCube: ' The Cable.co.uk poll of 2,000 UK adults – the first of its kind since the Westminster attack – found that 66% believe the ability of intelligence agencies to intercept messages between terrorist plotters is more valuable than the digital privacy of the population as a whole.' 'More than half (51%) said they would feel safer if WhatsApp and other messaging services were unencrypted because message sent
BingoBoingo: In Qntra submitter guidance: If writing on fake news, Jeff Bezos has owned WaPo long enough to be namedropped as a Fake News Tycoon

mircea_popescu: there's no scent whatsoever. at all. no runny. no mold. the hunk of petrocheese is entirely undisturbed, as "fresh" as it was when it left the plant, five years ago or whatever.
shinohai: Neither does Atlanta, you should see some of the land whales billing themselves as "High-class escorts"
mircea_popescu: we'll leave the "who takes on 50yo new slave" as a question for the ages.
mircea_popescu: if memory serves hearn was also merit washed as "something or the other" engineer at google.
mircea_popescu: Maximum Hackernews is achieved as the sentence "I am too stupid to understand the context of academic research" is expressed as "now if you implemented this as a web app, i'd be sharing it with everybody"
mircea_popescu: "Google continues the war against their own users. The XMPP Memorial Society trades barbs about whose fault it is that a misdesigned overengineered shitshow of a protocol failed to gain traction amongst non-erlang enthusiasts. Every single messaging platform in current existence is held up as Obviously The Future. Hackernews tries to figure out what Google's master plan is, and why Google is working so hard to make it look li
mircea_popescu: as god intended.
ben_vulpes: oh fuck, "it may be an ideal fit for fundamentally different block designs such as Rootstock and MimbleWimble in absence of decentralised non-integrated sidechains"
mircea_popescu: (flowers are particularly iffy, in daturas as in most such weeds)
mircea_popescu: not as such
mircea_popescu: the funny part is that i suspect it's entirely lost on her as of yet who's gonna be tasting them.
trinque: really mircea_popescu already did. "I lost a man using Debian machines today." not only do you know something about Debian, you know something about where he was. maybe not as much as you'd like, but you have some coordinates, and more importantly, if you don't suck, *you* aren't dead
a111: Logged on 2017-02-24 02:36 asciilifeform: veen: let's try a historical angle. according to legend, emperor qin shi huangdi (same d00d as known for taking the 'immortality pill' and promptly croaking) had a palace with 1,500 rooms. and would not tell anyone in advance which one he plans to sleep in on a given night. and which ones he would put cutthroats in, ready to kill anyone who opens door. think 'minesweeper.'
phf: we were comming from the direction of debian on 10 cds though, so restating my original point: i think bootstrapping can be solved with counterparty as an alternative to fits in head, i.e. i don't mind an approach where in order to bootstrap i get a binary from l1, that i use as a rich subtrate from which i can bootstrap.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-04#1637072 << this is true. kinda sad to watch too. plagued ~everyone until serious effort got put behind replaceable parts. which, incidentally, is WHY you have things such as http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-02#1635839 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: but to a large degree i can predict what the ailments of the women naked on the floor will be as time withers them.
phf: the need to not treat the binary as a black box and also the need for non-linear compilation
phf: then gosling wrote a version of emacs for a unix machine, that was used by rms as the foundation for his emacs
Framedragger: a port totally counts. however, as to your general point, no.
mircea_popescu: can't say as i have. by the age i was hanging out with the rave sluts i was no longer playing with magnets.

asciilifeform: dunno that 'it happened because tricked people with promise of Phreeedom'. it happened as a slime mold happens, as mushroom grows -- because it could, and because no pushback.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it was picked as example !
asciilifeform: trinque: except that it doesn't enable anybody -- if autoconf fails to find the headers, you are just as fucked as ever, gotta sit and puzzle out what environment flags to give it so that it has a sporting chance

asciilifeform: 1 photon sets off 2 detectors ~equally well as 1.
shinohai: Is it as shitty as Tijuana, where sewage spills go unnoticed for weeks? http://archive.is/nvFEL
mircea_popescu: as in made of tits ?
asciilifeform: it is related in that it makes 0 sense to include 'c' as part of its identity.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to items that are toys, or turds, or tonsils.
asciilifeform: 'c machine' has a specific meaning, refers to the type of cpu that traces descent to the transistor-impoverished 1970s, when bounds check was seen as unaffordable luxury.
asciilifeform: 0. but it is imho odd to describe the process as 'fixes c machine'
asciilifeform: ( this also ignores the -- screamingly evident -- fact of trb being ~algorithmically~ defective. as explored on several occasions here. )
mircea_popescu: "c machine" defined as "item that runs trb" is thereby fixed through becoming more apparent than it previously was.
asciilifeform: this in fact is a practical definition of 'turd' in our context : item that, massage it as you will, is still fundamentally broken by design.
mircea_popescu: it is trying to fix the trb, which is a component of the c machine, defined as "runs trb"
asciilifeform: i also suspect that any system that can be thompsonized, eventually will be (given as it propagates, the transformation is permanent). but that is separate point.
asciilifeform: such as, by at any point building gcc
