mircea_popescu: you wouldn'
t want to do it again. this is a cosmo kramer idea.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's just "in principle", aka "only happens to niggers, couldn'
t happen here, we're pravoslavniks!"
Framedragger: asciilifeform: on second thought, i didn'
t have an idea in mind. i just thought "huh, how to have continuous/streaming verification of data, i.e. not have to send data in signed *chunks* (if want to have verified/signed data)"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 17:42 asciilifeform: while we're on subj, i'll say that there is probably a good reason why most commercial faux-rng makers don'
t offer a sample download.
NoMyName: Ok, I know what a lemma is, I have had the occasional quandry, I don'
t know what the three premises are?
mircea_popescu: which is why "open source" is fundamentally useless. the poor idiots trying to hallucinate the poor idiot world where they can'
t be cut down for being poor idiots.
mircea_popescu: old царь-государь press law was plain : author, responsible ; if can'
t be found, editor ; if can'
t be fouind , owenr ; if can'
t be found - typograpgher.
lobbes: (+mircea_popescu) mod6 i can'
t imagine lobbes 's have any issue lending the bot, once this is all in place. << yeah, no issue here. I'd be honored to have genuine entropy traded via bot
mircea_popescu: if it did fit, it did fit, and if it didn'
t fit it's not there.
mircea_popescu: point remains, you can watch some guy gettiung a lapdance for free. same here, won'
t have your name on it, that's all.
mircea_popescu: if they share them or not... hey, they don'
t share fucking textbooks.
trinque: can'
t find original, just a ref
mircea_popescu: mod6 i can'
t imagine lobbes 's have any issue lending the bot, once this is all in place.
mod6: i can'
t know who would want this, but i'd imagine i wouldn'
t discriminate on who would want it. just as long as they PAY.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t know what stupid shit gpg does to it while encrypting.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661592 << not in principle. maybe the reserve is a little high, maybe the concept is too soon ; certainly he can'
t pay and it's somewhat dubious to explain why he should. but hey, gotta start sometime/somehow/somewhere.
mircea_popescu: maybe someone somewhere is working on this, maybe they aren'
t, it's not the sort of question ima decide sitting here.
mircea_popescu: and note that i didn'
t "immediately think". you asked me "what would be point of poorman yacht" and i correctly said whoring. rich people use them for sport, but i don'
t see you racing your concoction. if for no other reason then because regattas are always fulla hopeful hos, and generally very crowded.
mircea_popescu: also, if your spare time is not monetizable you are not a person and don'
t belong. i don'
t mean here, i mean living, at all. #1 reason to off self.
mircea_popescu: if i don'
t have to know anything specific about you, it's not a restaurant, it's a diner ; it's not a tailor, it's a pret a porter ; and it's not a skillful product, it's an item that's not worth building.
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t say "all beings" , it says "all comers". they come on their own power, they're comers.
mircea_popescu: of building badly designed pet projects that didn'
t work irl but were reported to workl anyway ? o yeah.
jurov: wasn'
t there plenty of precedent in ostblok?
mircea_popescu: the categories aren'
t very clearly divided in practice ; and plenty of precedent.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you're missing the point -- maybe there's other people on the ocean you sail on, but on the ocean alf's boat would sail on there's nobody. that's why he's even doing this, to "put distance". this can be had for the asking, because really, world wouldn'
t fucking dare not satisfy such perfectly reasonable request.
BingoBoingo: <jurov> why they don'
t build houses with plastic sheets and epoxy, then? << If alf does PVC or CPVC he can skip the epoxy and go straight to solvent welding!
mircea_popescu: dude i wouldn'
t give less of a shit, for all i care every two bit social worker case can make a pile of garbage / empty bottles and go sailing into the sunset. what's it to me ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're taking a child's view of water. it's not the fucking proofing that's at issue, is structural problems induced by having a force vectror that's substantial, constant, and randomly changing direction. that's why metal excels, it can take random load like that. plastic can'
t. wood soprt-of can, maybe.
mircea_popescu: just consider the sad circumstance that you don'
t like x because of y property you happen to have heard of ; but you have no clue z has problem p. as a for instance, nobody seems to have ever mentuioned to you that plastic boats have a very fixed "open sea" time. and if you knew what it was you wouldn'
t like it. which is why rich people still buy wood yachts for pleasure.
mircea_popescu: as i said, the principle of technical improvements isn'
t at issue here. your miserable discoursive and i'm starting to fear mental habits are.
mircea_popescu: it may not be the end all be all, but if you fail to impress me with your idea, you don'
t have an idea. absolute minimum bar, the master's eye which fattens the cows.
☟︎ phf: i know i know, this thread is extremely frustrating. it's your classic armchair trolling "if i was building my way would totally work" well build then "i don'
t have time to deal with this stuff, but everyone else is an idiot"
mircea_popescu: remember ? you didn'
t like the correct solution (metal) because... you don'
t have a cnc mill. and that's a fucking criteria in design now, what the fuck engineer has lying about and perceives underutilized, esp if he happens to thin kit's cvool.
jurov: why they don'
t build houses with plastic sheets and epoxy, then?
mircea_popescu: this bad habit of having a firm idea of the solution to a problem you don'
t either understand or bother specifying.
diana_coman: but he is what he is and it's not as if I don'
t know the thing
mircea_popescu: you can'
t have both of these at the same time, and duck behind one or the other depending which vein of solutions for your entirely psychogenic issue masquerading orally as a "technical problem" are being suggested.
jurov: *sigh* i keep getting calls from an UK number, as far as I understand, he's asking something about coinbr, when I ask them to come to irc/email he just says thank you. can'
t even fucking text, and not possible to call back
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 09:35 diana_coman: fwiw I have yet to meet someone who cooks for themselves who doesn'
t consider they cook "very well" (or better); it's when cooking for others that one can really tell whether they are good at it or not
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661616 << sauce, incidentally, is the killer. don'
t eat the shop shit, no matter whjat it is. homemade mayo takes five minutes once you learn how to make it ; white sauce is extremely easy to make, if scary ; tomato sauce certainly doable esp if you have a sane electric stovetop. that is ALL the sauces, everything else is combinations.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 09:27 danielpbarron: the way i figure, i'm locked into this undesirable location enough with what technical goods i possess. if it got so bad i couldn'
t buy proper raw ingredients anymore, i'd be better off moving elsewhere anyway, which i would like to do before such an extreme situation
mircea_popescu: sure, complete description of already found vulnerable mods can'
t hurt.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 09:41 danielpbarron: which perhaps says more of the horrible state of restaurants in this area. it shouldn'

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661461 << i eat this well. I buy food at the "oh that's too expensive" health food store (rather than the chain super market), and I cook it all myself (which I am very good at). It is expensive, sorta -- if you don'

☝︎ phf: i don'
t have enough experience with open ocean sailing, but the ocean is not as big as you think, as far as pirate avoidance is concerned, because of the currents. you have stable streams, that are essentially mandatory for long distance travel. piracy has been traditionally carried out at various locations where these currents terminate or switch. if you're primarily relying on wind (and there's only so much gas your little boat will carry), you will
phf: can presumably spec out the thing by noting all the instances of "omg, i definitely not don'
t need X that does Y what are you stupid" and building a constraint rules out of them
gabriel_laddel_p: On the basis that FG won'
t rest on some portion of the state space when you train your model
mircea_popescu: hm. maybe it's one of those things where it doesn'
t denote, it connotes. anyway, first one is a fine indication of subsistence living in question.
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, leverage isn'
t this magical thing from the sky.
mircea_popescu: "i don'
t want to die, i just want to go into a bottle."
phf: reading orlol i thought he already had a sailable device? why aren'
t there plans&details for what he already allegedly has
mircea_popescu: it was, then you just raise it six months later as if it hasn'

phf: asciilifeform: the specifics of rent racket are different, but same principles apply to escaping modern rent racket in any kind of real sense, beyond "don'
