Framedragger: i don't suppose anyone here has messed with android 'adopted' storage? (use sd card
as internal encrypted android storage.) i'm trying to recover files from a half-broken 32GB sd card which has weirdo android-internal partitions and encryption.. oh god

http://archive.is/0WjCL << Taleb : "The problem with identity politics is that they are fully ignorant of, among other things, history. And they must be
as blind visually
as they are intellectually."
BingoBoingo: phf: Then go to store get vitriol. The kind we (
as opposed to ether huffers) deal in is commonly sold
as "Amazing liquid fire" drain cleaner.
Framedragger: certainly noted! assumed
as much :) includes increased pessimism for funding OS projects (such
as openbsd) etc i guess...

mircea_popescu: nevertheless - the argument
as to neuron count is not directly mass ; it is parts. one DOES compare transistor counts.
a111: Logged on 2016-01-26 17:20 ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat,
as a refrigerator, etc)
mircea_popescu: which is why we could properly qualify this complex
as a memetic virus. it infects, and the host can feel it's infected, but can't prevent the infection.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally that nonsense is only superficially related to snowden. in practice it is an extension of the "artificial intelligence" used in "spam detection", especially
as the doomed but desperate attempt at websites to fight the republican bots.
gabriel_laddel: all the pharmacy techs right now are running these "apps", which operate
as a database interface to all the "copyright blah blah blah protected" pharama data
mircea_popescu: the padding pads the message just
as the message pads the padding.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the statement is correct. to restate : 1. padding is defined
as a function F (x, y) with x, y and F ∈ N such that 2. F is defined for all (x, y) pairs and that 3. given any set of boolean functions Ki(x) along with their values no Kj(y) can be constructed so their values are known besides K0(y) = true for K0(a) = 1 if a=y and 0 if a!=y and 4. given any set of boolean functions Ki(y) along with their values no Kj(x)
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 14:17 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, the walker scheme doesn't seem too great. the theoretical objection is that it ~does~ introduce structure, through the convention that the walker moves from where it last moved. in practice though, run a few simulations over a 16bit message which you can then print
as a 256x256 bitmap. your walker makes anthills basically.
mircea_popescu: "we have always been at war with fake news such
as any item that is politically inconvenient today."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ok, let's go at it another insane way. suppose you pad the message by using... the message
as the tape.
mircea_popescu: i will now use S
as a tape for the automaton to be applied to T.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i have no actual math to show, but intuitively it seems to me the above "take 64 bytes of rng, iterate hash over the first 60 last 4-times and then use that
as tape to pad message, then put padded message + 64 bytes in question in rsatron" is practically useful and theoretically strong.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me ask you this : suppose the tape is byte-sized, and the 8 bits are
as follows : 2 bits x movement ; 2 bits y movement ; 2 bits z movement ; stop and flip bits for a total of 8. the tape is now a space.
mircea_popescu: so wait, the plan is a) make integer ; b) convert to automaton tape ; c) use that tape
as padding ?
mircea_popescu: sure,
as in any socialist totalitarian state, it is better to not even care about the worthless money ; and try and achieve positions of power in the necessary feudal structure.
mircea_popescu: so then the same thing here
as there ; this attribution issue is not useful to distinguish between the two methods.
mircea_popescu: right, which is what happens here. there's no such thing
as "code", but only "x's code" even the same word "for" is not the same word.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 19:03 mircea_popescu: should be pretty evident that a dimension defined in terms of divisibility is very fundamentally not the same thing
as the latin notion of dimension-
as-extensibility.
mircea_popescu: and while he's incapacitated,
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587343 << to briefly revisit the whole "greeks were actually smarter than you" thread : naive set theory (
as expoused by, say, frege) runs into a problem known
as russel's paradox : should the set of sets that don't include themselves include itself ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: note that "insert random garbage" has not actually been proposed
as far
as i know.
mircea_popescu: mplemented
as introducing a comment which references the previous item in the indexed set - but this is by no means the only, or the required, or standards-candidate implementation.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, two different solutions have been considered. one is to attach an outside clock to the process. this has the obvious disadvantage of attaching an outside clock to the process. the other is to modify the indexing process for the set, from the current "index is hash of textual content" to a more advanced "index is hash of textual content + its context".
as an exemplary poc it was proposed that this change may be i
mircea_popescu: in any case,
as described v becomes an actual bitcoin , very much in the sense of "slavegirl powered btc" - each "block" ie vpatch is mined etc. this de facto allows to have things such
as a "development clock" for perhaps other usage.
mircea_popescu: ~so long
as we ban niggers, politics will work ok. sure, the issue is how to ban them.
mircea_popescu: actually, because of how we build the presses, ALL contexts are "so short"
as this one ; in the sense the antecedent hash always suffices.
mircea_popescu: then therefore, do you agree with the proposition that signing S
as long
as S consists strtictly of computer code with no indication of context is a meaningless at best and dangerous at worst activity ?
mircea_popescu: again : there's no point in discussing solutions
as part of discussing problems.
mircea_popescu: if all patches are required to change a comment line in all files they touch, so that it contains the hash of that patch's intended antecessor ; then it is no longer possible to build cycles without deliberately hash-mining for them (because to close the cycle you will have to at one point claim
as anterior an ulterior item).
mircea_popescu: specifically whether it shouldn't include a comment requirement
as above.
mircea_popescu: this is fine, but the question is whether the specification
as extent is correct
mircea_popescu: suppose we had a rule stating that "all patches must include
as a comment the patch upon they are to be applied" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: davout i am fwiw satisfied the problem is
as follows : that fielding schmuck is an academitard. therefore publish or perish. meanwhile for incomprehensible reasons people decided to name some obvious item "rest" and reference him,
as if he had anything to do. this created the basis for an academitard position for him, and put him in the publish or perish wringer. so he came up with the other thing, because gotta come up with
mircea_popescu: three stars epaulettes
as seen in 2nd pic would conventionally indicate a us lieutenant-general, which is paid
as an O[fficer]-9, 2nd highest.
mircea_popescu:
as alf says, what happens should be all ulterior bits should fall off.
mircea_popescu checks, the only time i even said the word it was used
as a noun.
mod6: also,
as a note, i'll leave the anti-fuzz change in this new version -- it seems ~more~ correct than previous impl.
mod6: my v seems to do the correct thing by dying, but maybe showing the entire flow post breakage might be incorrect
as well.
mod6: that's the same
as saying : mod6@gentoo ~/sandbox-v $ ./v.pl a asciilifeform_zap_hardcoded_seeds.vpatch
mircea_popescu: anyway, idlewords guy is pretty much spot on
as to how exactly silicon valley / "vc" etc world goes away. "Ray Kurzweil, who believes he will never die, has been a Google employee for several years now and is presumably working on that problem. There are a lot of people in Silicon Valley working on truly crazy projects under the cover of money." this is pretty much it, the byzantines found their way towards byzantinism, will
mircea_popescu: mod6 force is to be deployed
as it becomes evident it's useful to deploy it, not randomly everywhere.
