mircea_popescu: aka "this one secret mp doesn't want you to know about how to enlarge your brain without doing any reading".
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2013-12-25#431157 << i've heard that one in a dozen of different variations (for example instead of фуфло "на просто так" which is as innocent as it gets). there's the whole genre of ru fiction "prison survival for newb", the gist of it is that supposedly you can fake the "correct" answer to "кто ты по жизни" so you won't be harassed. of course the whole framing is nonsense, and if you're reading it it ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't find the original discussion re prison noobs playing cards for a fuffle aka buttfuck. dja recall ?
mircea_popescu: mgoetze you don't know that. you'll know if it is, though
Birdman: Right, thats why im not sure you asked lol. Isn't the concrete stuff found in the WoT anyways
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo answer't.
ag3nt_zer0: can't even name a favorite track on that album - but a number of them are just incredible examples of his maturing skills and mastery of his niche... after listening to this album on repeat for the last two years I was totally shocked at the suicide news - made zero sense to me... it's a bit disconcerting to see those who helped inspire me to try to live a purposeful and meaningful life offing themselves
phf: besides applied cryptography comes with C examples and to presupposes all kinds of knowledge that you probably don't have. since you already ordered it, and was planning on going through it, do so, and that'll show you where you might need to go from there
phf: oh i was just taking a piss, because of asciilifeform's reaction. i don't think you have to go esoteric. i don't know of any books, but early lisp related research had plenty of "metaphysics of computing" papers of varied quality that will probably be easily demolished by any real philosopher. i don't know your level of knowledge but perhaps a "introduction to programming" book would do
ag3nt_zer0: hmmmm ok phf and asciilifeform thanks very much... I am thinking I don't even know what a computer is, philosophically... not grokking the fundamentals of LOGIC and physics - fish in water... what the hell IS a computer I guess I need to find out
phf: i don't understand ecc :(
asciilifeform: phf: it wasn't clear to me that he was discussing bitcoin
ag3nt_zer0: perhaps its out of my current range of understanding, but might someone point me in the direction that I may grasp how the hell a keypair created on an airgapped computer has relevance in the actual online network...? Applied Cryptography (blue) is en route so perhaps that will help but in meantime thought I would ask here as no luck with searches - don't even know what terms would bring that up...
asciilifeform: 'a hare is seen running like mad, 'where are you running?' -- 'they say they'll be shaving camels soon, so i am on my way to police station, to register as a hare.' 'why do you give a damn what will happen to camels, you are a hare' 'well, they'll grab me, start shaving, then go and prove that you ain't a camel' '
asciilifeform: ( why wouldn't they )
mircea_popescu: to remind : venice stood for a millenium. this is longer than the "thousand years reich" national-socialism managed ; it is longer than any french "republic" ever succeeded ; longer than the entire existence of the us by a factor of about three, notwithstanding the us didn't start out as a socialist state.
mircea_popescu: thermodynamics will eventually dispose ; how about you don't give blind nature too much kinetics.
mircea_popescu: it's EXACTLY why you don't want to give ak to monkey, like afritard "soldiers" ; and also the whole fucking point behind http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1683142 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: people gouging out their eyes to spite their nose aren't specifically winning "some kind of victory against noses"
asciilifeform: this ain't it.
mircea_popescu: no, i know. it doesn't do anything interesting ; perhaps a hash of some nonsense.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw it doesn't disasm to anything interesting
mircea_popescu tried to review sherlock holmes (in the shape of 1939 piece, with b rathebone). still can't understand how anyone can like it. dude's simply an exercise in contradictorianism.
mircea_popescu: "senior" "political analist" "on maternity leave". hurr durr etcetera, signalling up to 11 maybe 9 wasn't enough.
phf: i agree that packaging (and the attempted status implication) is distasteful. but electric engineering etc. associate wouldn't be much different. a handful of specialist classes of varied quality mixed with utterly useless "general education" stuff
phf: i just can't share in this sentiment. girl can probably make herself useful by making pretty looking edibles for cupcake stores and weddings. i think that's more useful than sociology
phf: (this started because i couldn't find a printed version of julius evola's "ride the tiger" in russian translation. i found a pirated version, that i figured i can just print through lulu. i still haven't produced a pdf version that doesn't rely on the whole 6gb tex distribution)
palatine: i got a question for you, if you don't mind answering, did you plan trilema as a literary opus by the very start or sorta did it grew out on its own way?
mircea_popescu: hasn't been too serious for a long while now huh.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a lawyer you absoluitely wish to bake pgp into every aspect of your practice. don't have any customer email you plaintext.
mircea_popescu: phf i wasn't aware he ever did bit twiddles. my sparse reading of bits and pieces never showed me any.
phf: i don't know if that's the case, that's just my guess. but you are doing fixed size allocations though, and we had threads about it
phf: i suspect it's more about the choice of data structures. for one there are no allocs (very much in the spirit of ascii's ada explorations), so he probably has a lot of mempools, some byte compression and possibly bit twiddling. i've not read the second book yet, because i still haven't compiled the damn thing outside of the reservation
mircea_popescu: come to think about it, whether someone is publicly shitting hsi pants every change he gets (aka, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-27#1690153 ) versus the other categorical alternative, "doesn't seem to feel in the slightest bit in danger" would rather predict us citizenship than anything else. ☝︎
asciilifeform: that ain't a 'hacking trial
asciilifeform: supposing it is so. ( it is far from my africa, and can't say for sure. perhaps phf will comment. )
mircea_popescu hasn't in much depth checked, but the quoted part at least is correct.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 19:26 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from same circus, u.s. senate is proposing to ban mr.t from revering obummer's 'ru sanctions and They Stole Election' decrees
mircea_popescu: phf the noise isn't even the subject. there's two kinds of girls : those who go, and those who do not go. this is established afore the fact, and NOT at the party. now, a party with the later, no matter how timed or where established, be it "night of the demons"-like or simply a rural "community center" church dance, will NOT yield fucking. period and full fucking stop and jack slow down and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: ok, here's a brief journal. tried to pick a topic, which is a problem i don't have a solution for. heuristically picked "computers", inspected some entries, found them to be mostly minutia a la http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/disable_irq_races.html or else very brief and unstructured accidental likbezn a la http://yarchive.net/comp/caches.html
asciilifeform: it ain't a full bore 'sinners and saints' usenet snapshot, but certain fella's 'best of'. i have my own, that really cries to be organized and similarly cleaned, posted.
mircea_popescu: don't tell me that "if oyu don't read how imbecile smart doods trying to get along tried to get along, you won't ever guess on your own and may repeat the same mistakes".
asciilifeform: i haven't visited the productive non-nonsense planet yet, so cannot further comment
mircea_popescu: it's an iffy point. generally, trying to work the pig farm slowly increases the qty of shit you're covered in. digital pig farms aren't much better.
trinque: didn't say they were.
mircea_popescu: now, trying to get rid of "independent" "exchanges" is logical from their pow, but won't turn out particularly useful, because they weren't all that independent in the first place.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-26#1690018 << "why doesn't 'you hate x therefore love y' bullshit work on these people ?!?!?!" "because they're not idiots, idiot." ☝︎
asciilifeform: mod6: it doesn't hurt to be familiar: who knows, perhaps the eulora folx will use'dm
BingoBoingo: If Ver didn't spend it all shoving agricultural explosives up his Buttcoinslot, he could prolly buy a working Honda del sol for that money.
ben_vulpes: i didn't know people were accepting chained transactions
mircea_popescu: "offline" here just means "that won't hear about the 0fee tx".
mircea_popescu: ah, i didn't mean that.
mircea_popescu: we had a little chat on the topic, me of the unreviewed default opinion that whatever, girly's affraid her uncle might see her strumpety ways and beat her to death. but the girls proposed it's really that the implicit humiliation of service does not bode well with the self's delusions of grandeur. "when she's a great and famous pop star in like two or three years, she doesn't want to have nudies on the interwebs".
phf: they can't get into big universities (unless they bring significant investment from their parent co. with them), but they end up being a priceless asset for a small community college
mircea_popescu: (to be perfectly clear : the "not biologically possible" part re raping every day for six months doesn't discuss erections. if the rapee survives six months / 180 rapes, it'll have long become ENTIRELY consensual.)
lilpbutterfly: Thank you mircea but i don't think that could work for me. I'm not ready to show face at least no public
lilpbutterfly: Yes, i can show it to you but i don't really want it published
mircea_popescu: isn't it beeeamoooohtiful ?
asciilifeform: can't possibly help
mircea_popescu: "real world math". for when ints aren't really good enough anymore.
mircea_popescu: a) since when is "intermediatye" aka basic algebra HIGHER math ? b) what the fuck is a field that doesn't require math ? c) wtf is the point of an obstacless education. is this schmuck fucking air ?
mircea_popescu: eh, escape shiscape. who the fuck wants to escape and who couldn't if they wanted to ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't anything.
mircea_popescu: some cultures are a boon, but some cultures are a baboon, and i've yet to meet the (actual, as opposed to "african-usian" ersatz) black person whose black culture wasn't a terrible burden on their mind.
mircea_popescu: ing widely available ( see eg http://trilema.com/2017/on-trisection-a-humble-contribution/#footnote_2_73491 ), but it can't possibly end there. and in all fairness, the uci as properly understood (see eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-21#1688642 ; http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687638 and so on) is definitely just this ia thing, one layer above bulldozer per se). ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: vi very fucking definitely isn't even vaguely attempting to support this upwards expansion. it rather dedicates itself to trying to compactly symbolize the diffs downwards.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, broken ssh key of a mail.pape-dawson.com server is kinda how you get all those hilarity emails isn't it ?
mircea_popescu: isn't phuctor active these days.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-23#1689571 << no, i wouldn't bother. people who dump privkeys on pastes don't have any biz. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-23 02:29 phf: so in rick&morty you have the whole "rick is an asshole", but they can't just leave him be an asshole, they have to deconstruct it, show the human side, etc.
asciilifeform: it isn't even clear that the mutilated AChE gets cleared.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they do have a point though ; costa rica imports some stuff from the us, and you can always tell. don't even have to taste, smell is enough 90% of the time.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-23 04:52 mircea_popescu: "maybe these broadleaf plants are hepatotoxic" "you know... how could they not be ?" "umm... well, if the horse were spherical and didn't need a liver at all..."
mircea_popescu: "maybe these broadleaf plants are hepatotoxic" "you know... how could they not be ?" "umm... well, if the horse were spherical and didn't need a liver at all..." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it isn't really. professional interest only.
mircea_popescu: tes before the story rapidly folds as if this horror of horrors, the fucking trip, is so scary it can't even be contemplated, just a glimpse suffices and should be immediately forgotten."
mircea_popescu: of course the deep reason is that 1800s brit didn't need to be told he's human ; because he spent ~0 hours of any day wondering on this topic.
mircea_popescu: can't have a faux media piece without "on the day of the moon landing i was eating an apple pie" '''human''' bullshit.
phf: so in rick&morty you have the whole "rick is an asshole", but they can't just leave him be an asshole, they have to deconstruct it, show the human side, etc. ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hey at least they don't (afaik!) have the lonomia
mircea_popescu: am i the only one doing chicks that don't specifically expect to or want to come every time ?
mircea_popescu: some don't work though. the one discussed is entirely made so the CAMERA can see the tits and cunt, and as little of the dood as palatable to 80s audiences.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who'd eat a girl out out of feeling of obligation.
user705: if anything the letters of napoleon show the opposite. obviously eating out didn't get invented yesterday but if anything what the royal monarch did it was not for the plebes
mod6: gnatmake: can't load library 'libc.so.56.0'
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ( recall, you can't build gnat without gnat ) << yeah, was the reason i asked. hehe
asciilifeform: ( recall, you can't build gnat without gnat )
BingoBoingo: user705: Well, you get your penis hard and you stick it in the outside world. If you aren't sure of the safety of doing so at the time, you may begin with broomstick.
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly want to be as flexible as a vixen willow in any case.
BingoBoingo: Simply but a string in that isn't formatted unlike an email address, at least on qntra
asciilifeform: don't use email.
mircea_popescu: "the letter A as written in summer 2017 by MP" seems almost sufficient blather doesn't it.
phf: vaguely relatedly: if you drink unicode cool aid, shouldn't cyrillic latin subset like "a" be unified with the latin equivalent, along the lines of han unification? and then you introduce "linguist context surrogate" or whatever to actually give the glyph proper i18n aware shape? or perhaps that information should be contained purely in font, i.e. "russian" font has latin A rendered with russian typographic conventions. #makeunicodegreatagain
asciilifeform: if i had a cunt, wouldn't
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wouldn't you shit it if you were followed and didn't notice ?
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you like to have your wine surrepetitiously drunk by such rather than the melanogaster ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but see, it's a big deal, chick didn't shit her panties.
mircea_popescu: adding a "well, the detector pointed this way" answer to the repertoir wouldn't hurt jack.
mircea_popescu: possibly ; though i don't think i'd use this.
mircea_popescu: i't put it on the car in preference of "radar detector". who fucks radars.
