mircea_popescu: doesn't mean the word also has to go away
pete_dushenski: or "no one told us building DOWN into permafrost was a terrible idea so it's not our fault, we couldn't have known"
pete_dushenski still guiltily checks greenspun's blergh once a week, isn't always disappointed
pete_dushenski: if only greenspun wasn't so old, jewy, and busy with winblozboxen, he could shut up about 'no-fault divorce' and how 'banging school principal in mass. is a better career choice for girls than medicine' and just suggest the only right and proper remedy to that particular poison pill.
mircea_popescu: doesn't have to be entirely. has to be substantially.
mircea_popescu: and that time ain't going a-fucking-way just because hurr, five years passed and there's a new generation of woke dumbasses.
mircea_popescu: there is a reason mp doesn't think much of usg "law enforcement", and that reason is in the vein of the healthy man not thinking much of the sexual competition by the bellhop of notre dame.
mircea_popescu: "independent contractors", ie govt paper pushers without health insurance or pensions. if they don't have a job, what do they do ? shoot hillary ?
asciilifeform: fwiw the modulus never changed, and isn't going to change, DITCH THE OLD CRUD folx plz!!!
a111: Logged on 2016-08-07 18:22 hanbot: so in V99995 testing, it'd seem the asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig is "invalid", i imagine 'cause of something to do with stan's old key? and deedbot only spits the current, which i have. i don't see the old one on btcalpha either, anyone have an idea fo' me?
mircea_popescu: holy shit, you're right aren't you.
mircea_popescu: i can't explain it outside of fundamental alienation. dude can't pick up in bars like normal people, figures he wants this crap ?\
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 18:58 ben_vulpes: and then it flooded because you didn't actually call the actuaries and ask how likely the permafrost was to melt in the next millino years
mircea_popescu: part of why can't stand it.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i don't actually use the mouse that much huh
mircea_popescu: i pgup the terminal. i generally don't use the mouse to select text, except in some circumstances, and even then only to land. ctrl-arrow etc toi actually select. and i dun much cad, nor can i stand it.
mircea_popescu: r ~exactly identical dumb whores who didn't have the chance / utter and unmitigated priviledge of being picked out of the gutter by self-hating libertard.
mircea_popescu: entirely unsurprisingly, adriana salerno aka https://www.bates.edu/mathematics/faculty-staff/salerno-adriana-j/ is some random whore from venezuela who a) has no research to show for the food and board "patriarchy" gave her and b) wishes to scold people who fed and clothe her for free because "they aren't doing enough", while she herself is not catching first flight back to caracas to be raped into the dirt like all the othe
shinohai: I need one of those, my local store doesn't have. Must manufacture myself I suppose.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 'As time marches on and you start to earn more income and you buy a few more t-shirts, a single polo shirt, new jeans, and some Nike runners – but it’s never quite enough. The fashions are changing too quickly and what you wore before soon looks dated and passe..' << dafuq
asciilifeform: doesn't directly pay, no
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 18:48 mod6: i.e. is the compiler adding bloat that you didn't expect?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659503 << sad thing is, mice weren't built to last ☝︎
ben_vulpes: right who wouldn't
shinohai: Obviously, all that Bitcoin hasn't allowed him to afford courses in say, web design.
mircea_popescu: ( g is 1/x**2 above, if it wasn't obvious)
mircea_popescu: there isn't in math a possible classification of errors. any one is sufficient to "prove" all others.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this isn't a business transaction. i dun give a shit who suffers from math.
asciilifeform: better phrasing would be -- it wouldn't win anybody anything
asciilifeform: but one that doesn't propagage (unlike div0) so nobody signals it.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the strong argument is ex nihilo nihil. n ^ 0 is validly something, but 0 processed in any way can't properly make anything besides itself.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 19:23 phf: when i said mutations, i meant the iterative selection stuff. i don't know how well the seeds store, and if they don't, then there's not much of a point to the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659313 << there are no deficiencies of current design, nor could there be. she is perfect in every way as she is and she shouldn't ever change. ☝︎

asciilifeform: early on (1960s) when su got nuke parity, it was decided that the nuke pathway probably won't work
asciilifeform: (observe, many folx , worldwide, already store seeds . but those don't make headlines , nor collect $billions in grantola from 'international komyoonity')
phf: when i said mutations, i meant the iterative selection stuff. i don't know how well the seeds store, and if they don't, then there's not much of a point to the whole thing. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: well pay 10x up front for a thing that works, or 1x for a thing that appears to work so long as we don't move too far from initial conditions.
asciilifeform: hey, it ain't a disaster, it's practically a cheque for 4x the grantolade
ben_vulpes: and then it flooded because you didn't actually call the actuaries and ask how likely the permafrost was to melt in the next millino years ☟︎
asciilifeform: understand, the constant term doesn't matter.
asciilifeform: but i ain't giving those up
mod6: i.e. is the compiler adding bloat that you didn't expect? ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: of course it is even easier if idiot luser uses 'library' or 'os api' crypto. hence why the insistent and incessant schneiering, 'don't write own crypto!'
asciilifeform: possibly i explained this next bit, but can't seem to find it in the l0gz, so will post here ftr :
asciilifeform: nao we need a non-recursive (! , SPARK won't allow recursion nor is it constanttimesafe to have any), constant-time karatsuba...
asciilifeform: even if proper squaring were instantaneous (and it won't be, it will be perhaps 2x faster), this is still painful.
asciilifeform: 8192 still hasn't returned...
asciilifeform: didn't he motor all around eu at one time
mircea_popescu: can't even argue with it. in their environment, it dun pay to care. what's gonna happen, gunman shows up massacres the lot ? hurr, not like ~anything their brains could come up with'd help in that situation. what other environmental pressure do they encounter ? nothing surmountable. if the corp trough has pepsi that day, they can stand on fuckiong head won't get coke. "company policy".
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure that's right, they literally don't give a shit about anything that's further out than lunch break / takes more thought than lulzpic etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 13:14 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "I’m all for filth but on my terms, bucko." << they can't quite figure it out lol. the ~only~ "on my terms" woman gets is if her terms happen to (silently!) coincide. otherwise... it's the dogs. << Seriously
ben_vulpes: well it took months, but the shannonizers have finally figured out that #bitcoin-assets doesn't have a voice model
mircea_popescu: otherwise, inside given cultural space, shit catches on. but no dominant one in us like there was in su (yes, the aspie 14% keeps trying to pretend, but ain't nearly the same thing).
mircea_popescu: soviet jokes also "didn't catch on", which became a joke in itself -- teh georgians dun understand all these muscovy joeks!
mircea_popescu: wasn't something re bush jr ?
mircea_popescu: there's all sorts of losers who imagine these objects are a sort of holy amulet, and the only reason they dun do anything is because "they don't want to", but if "one day" they "decided" to "use them" then WHAM!
phf: no, theoretically there shouldn't be any kind of difference at all
mircea_popescu: but they don't want to.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't thinking of anything specific, past the indeed kindergarten intuition that there's more to the triplet than we figured out.
asciilifeform: other thing: ~modular~ exp can't oveflow !
asciilifeform: ( remember, we have ~fixed~ size integers, unlike other bignumtrons , they ~won't~ stretch to the absurd length you would need if you used div-after )
asciilifeform: won't even work on toy rsa that way
mircea_popescu wouldn't be in the slightest surprised if all this "big data" utilization is 0.0000 ppm.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 11:24 Framedragger: srsly :D ("i trust the back alley guy to only give me the tip; it wouldn't be nice if he wasn't honest about it. but if he said he'd fuck me in the ass from the get go, i guess that's ok")
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1658981 << contrary to shutin consensus, most chicks at the bar are slipping themselves roofies in desperation. if he didn't make it as a singer, at least maybe google thinks him a star ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: ave1: div-at-the-end mod-exp won't work for, e.g., rsa
Framedragger: srsly :D ("i trust the back alley guy to only give me the tip; it wouldn't be nice if he wasn't honest about it. but if he said he'd fuck me in the ass from the get go, i guess that's ok") ☟︎
Framedragger: just HN things - on google home (the "send all audio to google" appliance): "I have one, it's convenient and lets me control my home in what feels like a natural way. Personally, I don't see the downside of having it. Note; I mean I don't acknowledge a downside from my perspective. I'm fully aware that it's always listening and sending data home when it hears a keyword."
mircea_popescu: professionalism, you don't understand.
shinohai: "Mom sends down tendies @ 7pm sharp, can't ready during THAT hour."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1658940 << open source dood, aren't you familiar with the "just the facts" horde yet ? ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i haven't got 1 surface that wouldn't auger in under that thing, and that includes the mud liquishit that is the 'yard' << Maybe you want have vault so it augers and sinks? Self burying treasure chest!
asciilifeform: well i dun own properties, here or there, so it doesn't make much diff to me
asciilifeform: i haven't got 1 surface that wouldn't auger in under that thing, and that includes the mud liquishit that is the 'yard'
mircea_popescu: like six months ago. he said didn't he ?
mircea_popescu: i've not been using the much for years now, and can't say i noticed the absence.
asciilifeform: out of stealing , naturally, whatever ain't bolted down
mircea_popescu: somehow the soviet and soviet likes didn't annoy me nearly as much.
mircea_popescu: i can't even be arsed to take the anglo formalism seriously. A-> field, really ? pshaw.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658434 < Do you have a source for this? And banning photons? What? Where is this discussed? In any case, there are two threads here 1) collective electrodynamics, which wants to be a reformulation of EM using A->, as it takes into account, as you say, the "collective action" of electrons. & 2) G4V, which applies t ☝︎
asciilifeform: but guess what 'inferior is the new superior' because some roman d00dz didn't feed nearly enough uppity shits to lions etc
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BIP148 nodes will never let it reorg out the BIP148 chain << this is newz. how does node 'never let' ? i'd like to know << YOu don't know how ghettos work!
asciilifeform: it ain't a hard-smokinggun.
Framedragger: doesn't imply scamatron
Framedragger: asciilifeform: can't be kako, site is too positive about mpex :D
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658191 << It's been a while since he's lit up my inbox. Went over the years from promising to sell cookies he wouldn't bake to writing a couple good qntra's under cazalla regime. Then sort just degraded to repeatedly asking questions over plaintext about gardening for plants I don't grow. "tomatoes" but I suspect he was using it as a code word for a plant incompatible with quality sobriety. His late con ☝︎
asciilifeform: can't afford even half a beryllium sphere!111
mircea_popescu: yes. they don't tend to have 100k spare change in couch cushions.
mircea_popescu: though most don't even want to use that as a confinement method
asciilifeform: the 1 problem i can immediately spot is 'if you can't make it with STOCK equipment, you need $maxint'
mircea_popescu: there's many tons of waste in the us they don't klnow what to do with. and as recent qntra points out, it's starting to leak.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho it is not a simple as 'there's a man who could, but he won't , because pissants tangled in his shoelaces.'
asciilifeform: can't seem to find link. so maybe it wasn't .
mircea_popescu: not entirely clear to me what you're saying here. so the idea is, that because random upstart / usurper of minor crown enobled anyone who could read/write and hadn't rean off a century ago, it therefore follows that a man who could power a whole city out of hot reactor waste today does not do so because mit graduates can't power a lightbulb with the battery in hand. something like that ?
asciilifeform: more dangerously, it doesn't call for massive $bil instrumentation .
mircea_popescu: eh, didn't stop them before.
asciilifeform: well it won't be at cern.
mircea_popescu: you don't derided its existence, do you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't know the result until AFTER. you gotta start building it BEFORE.
