phf: erlehmann: yes, but with two clarifications. i specifically don'
t think that "something", that one could be part of, is actually happening when it comes to "race" at the moment. (i might find out otherwise years from now, but it would be totally unrelated to the public conversation that's happening right now)
mircea_popescu: i don'
t mean weird as in bad. i mean weird as in alien.
erlehmann: i don'
t get racist propaganda. if there is really nothing better holding people together than race, that seems like a very low common denominator.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann i dare say it couldn'
t have been said smoother-er.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 14:44 mircea_popescu: yes, there's an actrual technical reason. no, it can'

mircea_popescu: "if i can'
t get one to be mine in private, maybe we could get them to be ours as a group ???"
BingoBoingo: Apparently the elliots think Whitey can'

mircea_popescu: phf> but that's why you don'

phf: but that's why you don'

mircea_popescu: isn'
t this whole "shit black chicks say" or w/e meme done to death already ?
phf: building wot for all comers will suffer the same fate as pgp. since nobody's using it, it turns into an arms race of easy to use, or "innovation" also known as masturbation over technical minutiae. i sort of realized this when i tried applying tmsr solutions to my cypherpunk friends: "no we don'
t need to research the difference between signal and telegram, just encrypt it to my gpg key and post it on dpaste or whatever." eliminated all the technical di
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: At least you aren'
t an alf getting out of own lawn
mircea_popescu: to be honest, back when the fucktards were like "o hi guise, i am 12 and expert, never heard of wot but i made this keybase", i was all pissy because of the whole "i have never heard". now that they do the "oh i know tmsr is my true and proper sovereign, but might i not talk my way out of it ? i'm really clever like, plus i use words i can'

☟︎ sn0wmonster: is there a technical reason why it hasn'
t been built yet?
sn0wmonster: if not, i don'
t see how i'm reinventing the wheel by building that part of it.
mircea_popescu: nanotube was going to fix it cca 2015. didn'

BingoBoingo: Aha, easier to pretend they didn'

trinque: looks like freenode isn'

phf: "i know a good UDP joke, but i don'

shinohai curses the surge protector that didn'

shinohai: HDD is ok, and pogo containing my backup chain survived so at least I don'
t have to start over *there*
a111: Logged on 2017-06-18 23:30 asciilifeform: and realized, while doing this, that in fact you don'
t need 2k+2 bits for the karatsuba intermediates, you can do instead of (x0+x1)*(y0+y1) , (x0-x1)*(y0-y1), and then you don'
t need to propagate carries, but only take absolutevalue and xor the borrows to see if gotta invert the resulting term
mircea_popescu: eater of linoleum + soda water CAN'

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform they didn'
t have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india. << McDonalds or not, Beetus tends to run strong in Indian populations. Perhaps cow-ban is in response to earlier Mc-Hamplanet crisis on subcontinent?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think the discussion has uncovered why exactly it is my bristles stand up. it'd be one thing if a sane place with a sane culture with respectable people churned out a "hey, chick didn'
t get married because the cups lolz" thing. THEN it would be funny.
diana_coman: sure; just that you don'
t claim *in writing* that it didn'
t work, lel
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they didn'
t have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india.
mircea_popescu: nah cuz the vessel comes with a seal (and yes, the inspiration for babylonian trade, the seals, and amphorae was DEFINITELY the cunt). you can claim it wasn'
t tried or that it didn'
t work, these aren'
t confoundable.
diana_coman: I can'
t say I studied the time+culture of the guy to know, perhaps mircea_popescu knows better what he is talking about; it sounds really highly unlikely to me that it was the case that woman could just go and fuck, hurray, but whatevers
mircea_popescu: it's annoying to high heavens. it's one thing to show up at your wedding and go "what a great day for a wedding, let's have two!" and force your first maid into marriage with some randomlty chosen guy. it's the same thing to say "fuck this shit, i don'
t feel like getting married today, go home all of youze".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman indians tho, these aren'
t wanna-be anglo muslims.
diana_coman: so if they were impressed it follows it wasn'
t normal? lolz
mircea_popescu: and no, there isn'
t "always someone better". rather, there's always a best.
mircea_popescu: he ain'
t gonna say that. true or not true, he's not saying it.
pete_dushenski: david siegel doesn'
t provide any reasons why wealthy people want to be poor like him and his readers because he doesn'
t need to. neither he nor his readers can imagine anyone that doesn'

BingoBoingo: clover's not so aggressive weeds can'

mircea_popescu: you can get laid at any bar. you can'
t ghet decent help anywhere
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: not if you let it go for ~year << That isn'
t mowing. That is harvesting hay. Hope the crop was dry.
mircea_popescu: but yes alf is correct i did base 10 for convenience because most people don'
t have base 2 mult table loaded in head so dunno what 110 * 101 is
mod6: <+asciilifeform> if it weren'
t obvious, k = 16 << this seems to make sense
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> trivially, 11 * 11 = 121, and also (10 + 1) * (10 + 1) = 10 * 10 + 2 * 10 * 1 + 1 * 1 = 121. << what I can'
t figure out is where the part: + 2 comes from.
mod6: i haven'
t groked it yet.
m0n0lake: i don'
t need no voice , thanks shinohai
mod6: I guess, it doesn'
t cover karatsuba specifically, but gives some background perhaps for the uninitiated.
mircea_popescu: which, as i told sina, certainly fixes something : it makes it so that common people can'
t spy, but nsa still can.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 04:05 phf: since applications (and that includes window managers) tend to send around lots of different messages as the focus is traveling around your window hierarchy, i wouldn'
t be surprised if gtk/qt does a very specific grab when you put a cursor inside your app's password box, and do a release whenever focus travels away
mircea_popescu: but obviously, they don'
t even know it's a matter of "the", smoking own cock as per usual with the ustards.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 03:36 phf: see architecturally wayland and x11 couldn'
t be more different. x11 supports a special network protocol that lets clients from different sources connect to the same instance of x. for example you can have a client from a different user on the same machine or a client from a network source (like over ssh)
sina: if you trust the software you can mitigate with whatever sandbox and if you don'
t then you need hw compartments, different issue
phf: so any wayland app that has access to your wayland session by the obvious implications can do the obvious thing: gpg encrypt all your files, steal all your passwords, and send compromising emails to all your friends, because as should be obvious that app has access to everything else you have access too oh my fucking god the level of retardation i can'
t even.
phf: those clients are isolated, in one case by machine, in the other case by unix isolation, and can'
t do the obvious thing, that is read the memory of your password requesting process directly
sina: phf: ok that is pretty interesting and I didn'
t know
