asciilifeform: so if you were to use it -- then.
asciilifeform: standard ssh client transmits (yes) individual keys
mircea_popescu: why would i type ?
asciilifeform: what does mircea_popescu do with it ? only tunnel ?
mircea_popescu: who the hell types into the ssh ?
asciilifeform: if you successfully connect, you give the other side a sample of your keystroke timings, which for some reason usg is obsessed with
asciilifeform: but even failing this, diffiehellman gives the other side a sample from your rng.
mircea_popescu: that it crashes your ssh client, gains control of your box as the user that ran it, escalates it to root privilege, installs a rootkit that you can't take out without throwing out the mobo + hdd and disappears in a puff of smoke.
ben_vulpes: what are the security risks of opening an ssh connection to a possibly hostile host?
asciilifeform: 'The round of $4M was led by Union Square Ventures, with participation by Lux Capital, Naval Ravikant, Digital Currency Group, Compound, Version One, Kal Vepuri and Rising Tide.' << this buys, what, seven greyhound buses ?
asciilifeform: lel, urbit apparently dead enough that a new one is conjured up, https://blockstack.org/blog/funding-the-new-decentralized-internet
asciilifeform: 'If the stories I'd heard were true, taking a tiny bit of it, a micro-dose, had the potential to make my workday more productive than ever.' << lulz
mircea_popescu: anyway. the note is somewhat sour.
mircea_popescu: this is readily the more promising lulzatron of the period.
asciilifeform: Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk << lol!!
asciilifeform: nope, they both appear to still function.
asciilifeform: this openai thing, is, i suppose, a parallel production
asciilifeform: https://intelligence.org << the original thiel/yudkowsky scamatron
mircea_popescu: im telling you it's the same one
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: OpenAI Blog: <https://openai.com/>; About OpenAI: <https://openai.com/about/>; Elon Musk And Peter Thiel Launch OpenAI , A Non-Profit Artificial ...: <http://www.forbes.com/sites/theopriestley/2015/12/11/elon-musk-and-peter-thiel-launch-openai-a-non-profit-artificial-intelligence-research-company/>
mircea_popescu: !~google peter thiel openai
asciilifeform: 'friendly ai' was thiel.
asciilifeform: musk is the rocket embezzler d00d
mircea_popescu: (ftr, the musk "friendly ai" thingee had NINE employees. to medium's 150.)
mircea_popescu: i fail to see this potential. looks entirely like "hey guise, let's agree on definition of ai that allows the pretense of sv technologee to survive a little longer plox "
mircea_popescu: my only regret is that it's not written in javascript.
asciilifeform: (macroscopic version of magnetic tape, hence bizarre mechanical properties without moving parts)
mircea_popescu: i'm hard pressed to see anything in the "65bn" worth of vaporware that ycombinator counts for itself. they did what, a bunch of groupons/mediums ? ie, shareholder fraud of the cooked books version and shareholder fraud of the pie in the sky version ?
asciilifeform: imho that qualified as actual invention.
asciilifeform: aha, the shaped magnet escaped
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/making-the-pussygrab-great-again/ << Trilema - Making the pussygrab great again ?
mircea_popescu: plus the occasional actual item finds its way out of there.
asciilifeform: e.g. the 'is somebody peeking at my display from behind my back' company
mircea_popescu: yes but when greater fool went from being microsoft to being us fed, the standards relaxed.
mircea_popescu: yeah, ye olde "sam altman is the repository of the human decency of being a trite fuckwit just like sam altman"
asciilifeform: 'Trump shows little respect for the Constitution, the Republic, or for human decency, and I fear for national security if he becomes our president.'
mircea_popescu: a decade ago there was some cursory but detectable ranking by sense. much more gimmicky today.
asciilifeform: ( i could be wrong about this, but yc seems to be quite the same chumpatron today as it was decade ago )
mircea_popescu: it doesn't matter. there's no "supposition of competence" for handpuppets.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear imho that he is ~incompetent~, either. the outcome depends largely on the grade of cattle coming into the meat processor, and how would he affect this?
mircea_popescu: competence is the only criterion.
asciilifeform: what in this case means 'outperforms' ? i have difficulty picturing how anything short of sea piracy might beat pg's roi -- he invests pocket change in 1,001 disposable kidz, and pockets (iirc) half of anything they happen to bring in -- while carrying 0 risk
mircea_popescu: of course, the woman vastly outperforms him, but whatevs. weirdos abound.
mircea_popescu: 50something. the altman handpuppet is iirc stoya's age.
mircea_popescu: i don't care. there's no need for each individual item to be discussed. guy exists today because of the yahoo marketing ponzi scheme pre 2001 bubble. nfi why he's not in jail, but it is a shameful macula on the usg "justice" system.
asciilifeform: i've nfi which particular honest d00d he stole the observation from.
mircea_popescu: im not quoting that scammer.
asciilifeform: 'has 100x the people, where are 100x the painters'
asciilifeform: paulgraham was the one with 'where are the painters of current florence'
asciilifeform: i only remember mark tarver's 'disappearing mozarts'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall who we quoted re the "where are all the 5000 rubensen" argument ?
asciilifeform: 'While Kraken users watched the price drop, most of us could only watch in disbelief as our orders were not processed.'
mircea_popescu: hey, worked for the hearnia.
asciilifeform: i can already picture how october might have went: henchman: 'rumours that we are tards have been spreading for several years, what shall we do' mrmold: 'i know! let's MOVE THE FORUM'
asciilifeform: perhaps the wagner and cyanide can already be smelled in mr.mold-central.
asciilifeform: 'urbit is down tonight' 'curtis We were trying to subscribe urbit-meta to fora notifications, something very reasonable that we should have done a long time ago, and ended up producing a "presence storm." We'll fix it a little more carefully and methodically tomorrow -- or try, at least. :-) In the meantime, I've turned off all our major stars.'
asciilifeform: in yet-other lulzies, just when i thought thing was dead, (0 updates since oct. 25 iirc), https://archive.is/GcmdK
mircea_popescu: check it out, dita von teese voted most likely to future.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 14:05 mircea_popescu: slowly building the "tmsr hardware" thing. iirc there was another item also
asciilifeform: eggog! these people have clothes on!!111
mircea_popescu: in other lulz http://akimg2.ask.fm/4b1/a6cac/da24/4cb1/b70d/57cea84b2f6d/normal/693913.jpg (brought to you by radu photography)
asciilifeform: but yeah, iirc it was strictly either tyan and asus, pick.
mircea_popescu: piles of asusen will eat the phenoms.
asciilifeform: and the originals, are scarcer than the chips
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 14:05 mircea_popescu: slowly building the "tmsr hardware" thing. iirc there was another item also
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-06#1597510 << btw to briefly revisit thread: it would also be worthwhile to find ~what was the last mobo~ that ate these. ☝︎
asciilifeform tried to get ben_vulpes's thing to display this before linking, no dice
trinque: BingoBoingo: iirc there was a thread about pedos becoming the next protected class
trinque: also loller at the private evidence; must've been a small dick pic
BingoBoingo: Per that one kink site http://www.returnofkings.com/111556/california-law-sb-1322-greenlights-child-prostitution-criminalizes-being-poor
trinque: actually, I suppose with them the "underage" is sop
trinque: where are these people when Biden's kissing underage girls on camera in front of their parents ?
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: what was the reasoning behind http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles#L378 again? << this ties those files together to make it a "grab-bag" of a release ; bunch of previous discussions
mircea_popescu: rather curious how trump will navigate the dire straights of maga absolutely requiring a repeal of 20 years' worth of "harassment" business.
mircea_popescu: https://web.archive.org/web/20041207225119/http://www.courttv.com/archive/legaldocs/government/packwood2.html << in other "can do whatevers", packwood, a 1980s powerhouse (singlehandedly fucked up clinton's own obamacare, among other highlights), chased out of senate because he may have kissed a girl at a party and stuff of that nature.
asciilifeform: so they can do whateverses.
asciilifeform: per traditional u.s. law, 'posse comitatus' (19th c. prohibition on soldiers enforcing laws) does not apply in washington .
mircea_popescu: those damned foreigners dun understand how the world works properly, desk fliers stuck doing it in garage.
mircea_popescu: they had a whole "military operation planning" thingee with a map and errything, just like in the movies.
asciilifeform: the mega-lul here is that this is a crock o'shit
asciilifeform: 'JFHQ-NCR operates within the scope of the law. It will not engage in direct law enforcement activities, but when requested by civil authorities and approved by the civilian leadership of DOD, it supports civil authorities in their public safety missions. Existence of a JFHQ enables better planning by all parties, to the benefit of the public.'
mircea_popescu: lulz of all time.
mircea_popescu: !~google joint task force for the national capital region
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, schumer now crying over the "great victory" of "nuclear option" because guess what ? taking headcount to confirm from 60 to 51 mostly helps... trump.
trinque: these people wish the us could fart out a hitler to make them feel important enough to round up
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck does the whore get to score the john. get up on the stage and flash the goods.
asciilifeform: 'Mormon Tabernacle Choir... ... The group is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, and dates back to the founding of the Mormon Church. ... It has some 360 members, but the decision to participate in Trump's Inauguration caused one member to leave. Jan Chamberlin said she was dropping out of the group and wrote on Facebook with reference to the inaugural performance: "I only know I could never 'throw roses to Hitler.' And I certainly co
mircea_popescu: i imagine beyonce + rap band was the menu, neh ?
mircea_popescu: we're discussing obama here. i assume it must be something akin to the man - stole a name, ran with it.
mircea_popescu: "inauguration won't include yo yo ma, an obscure act trying to capitalize on random phrase spoken by cosmo kramer 20 years ago"
asciilifeform: lulzily enough i have a crate with the 7700k coming in today (to put in a heathentron), will see how it worx.
mircea_popescu: and in butthurt today, http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/05/politics/trump-inauguration-performers/
mircea_popescu: yeah amd went the way of gaddafi even as intel went the way of obama.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone is seriously proposing intel makes cpus.
asciilifeform: ( from arse tech, https://archive.is/tJyF6 )
asciilifeform: while we're in cpuwank mode, 'The Intel Core i7-7700K is what happens when a chip company stops trying. The i7-7700K is the first desktop Intel chip in brave new post-"tick-tock" world—which means that instead of major improvements to architecture, process, and instructions per clock (IPC), we get slightly higher clock speeds and a way to decode DRM-laden 4K streaming video. Huzzah.'
mircea_popescu: slowly building the "tmsr hardware" thing. iirc there was another item also ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally this is a good small research project -- 'what was the last pre-fritzing opteron'
asciilifeform: the 2393se is the newest one i've personally tested.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i was thinking for domestic desktop.
