mircea_popescu: I believe it takes all kinds to make a working world, but what I find among the modern novices is that they do not feel the same way about the experts -- they want an expert-free world where their ignorance is not painful, where their inexperience is not used against them, where they get all the jokes, where nobody uses literary references that elude them, where every one of their ideas is accepted by their peers
as just
as n
mircea_popescu: to grow enough facial hair to need to shave daily not only to show off their insufficient beard growth
as "hip" but to fill "leadership" positions where they feel threatened by anyone significantly older than themselves and where the inability to /lead/ is replaced by their simple skills at /managing/.
mircea_popescu: "to advance it is at serious odds with the massive glorification of youth.
As marketing found itself unable to expand without encroaching upon our childhood, the intense drive to capture the minds of the youngest among us has tended to make people believe that 30 years of experience can be replaced by the young looks of rank novices. This is made worse by the management schools that make it possible for people who have yet
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " on the Net, people argue about whether year 2000 is a leap year or not, so it's not
as if you can rely on the answers you get."
Framedragger: (undergrad student circles, etc.; luckily those fall out of relevancy/radar
as one ages)
Framedragger: hehe, don't know particulars, but it should be noted that he studied philosophy and in some of the circles he had to have business with, ayn rand sorta-has a place
as a non-crackpot. hence the (arbitrary, otherwise) particular object of hate
mircea_popescu: big part of problem was that he was writing his stuff
as email answers to idiots
a111: Logged on 2016-12-13 12:32 Framedragger: i'd actually like to see a coherent and all-in-one-place SQL / RDBMS-
as-a-general-model critique some time. maybe it exists. usually it's mongodb hipsters complaining randomly, so i'd developed a (too-)generic "ignore 'em all" filter :p
Framedragger: i don't know how it is in the .us and it's prolly *quite* a bit more complicated than that, also i had the lucky chance of having a relative who'd invite to fly with him and show me basic flight control stuff, but are you not able to get lessons
as a total noob?
trinque: and this is given
as a general whiff of endless haphazardness in SQL
Framedragger: trinque: right right, so you're talking about SQL
as a language, fair enough

☟︎ Framedragger:
as long
as the 'check hash' operation is quick enough, otherwise DoS magnet (that's a very alf'y comment i guess)
trinque: emphatically not
as "lets translate SQL to whatever a URL is allowed to do"
Framedragger: phf: thanks for pointing me in the right direction. scriba now reads log
as byte sequence, tries decoding each line
as utf-8, if that fails, then does latin-1. seems to be fine.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-12 15:26 mircea_popescu: inbcidentally asciilifeform
as per that discussion of how much it costs to index etc, phuctor is a total google poison.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly and i guess unhelpfully, i'm wondering if once specified
as above, you don't also get a router for cheap (through implementing a sort of physics where routes attract each other and are repulsed by things etc)
pete_dushenski: it's branded
as 'evil chinese opiod flooding in from kongkouver port' around here. so like reverse opium warz, ie. non-round eyes fiatolistas are profiting and this is a Bad Thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly happened, usg is primarily known
as a drug dealing criminal organisation.
mircea_popescu: it's also ~when i stopped paying any attention. last time i played games
as they came out was 1999/2000

as long
as i don't look for things anyone in the libertard camp may object to, conceivably"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-12 14:58 mircea_popescu: so you know, they're doing their patriotic duty to pretend so
as to create the aggregate dogvomit upon which "nobody could have predicted" in case there's any responsibility to allocate later.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in proper terms : even the empire figured out the incredibly tenuous position of google, who a) provides no useful service and b) survives exactly out of yahoo-style ponzi scheme (
as described by paul graham, one of its architects pre dot com bubble)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no! they aren't garbage,
as you sdaid yourself - nobody would want to see the netlist, because they'd want to see the "unofficial" LINES.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-12 13:38 mircea_popescu: how the fuck is it that those supposedly ubervaluable engineers that don't exist anywhere else and can't be replicated (
as per microsoft idiot) nevertheless DO NOT COMPREHEND the difference between the present conditional and the pluperfect conditional.

☟︎ Framedragger: yeah, would be great to have ssl certs etc all in the same place, timestamped, so one could track history, to an extent. (and then be able to offer realtime scans and alerts
as a service, say...)
Framedragger: i guess
as long
as everything's stored in a sane manner and format, it's no big diff.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: nono - sorry for confusing - "older"
as in "previously seen in same logfile", it's for my internal use so i don't go insane. all of this is from single scan even in 13-14 june.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, it was simple when i made it" "yes, if i define three letter strings
as various pieces of literature, i'll be able to "write" whole books by saying agafufu. so what of it."
mircea_popescu: i fear the only way forward is for data to be base64'd, deedbotted, and then referenced
as such in code.
mod6: All in all, I agree that blobs do not belong in a vpatch.
As stated, they are for readable, grokable, text only.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-12 02:51 phf: i will flatten this shit, or help me god. so far the solution i figured that doesn't require writing code or using dodgy third party software is to use the video
as a material texture inside a sphere in blender. with some 3d space camera shuffling i can produce two separate video streams, one of knuth and one of slides, but the result looks like dog so far.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: to justify why there's no legal recourse for bad software - and guess what, it stands just
as well to explain why it is better to murder and rape than to microsoft.
mircea_popescu: trinque care to look into if you can bash the signature out of detachsig and attach it
as clearsigned ?
mircea_popescu: yeah. but do you agree the actual problem is the lack of a tmsr-cad ?
as far
as "right things" go ?
mircea_popescu: give me something other than a 5mb dxf to work with,
as per this "Short when i wrote it" ?
mircea_popescu: svg however better - it can be read,
as text, and drawn, by hand. png, not so much.
phf: asciilifeform: nothing at this point, none of the xml parses uses DTDs (
as predicted by naggum)
mircea_popescu: anyway, "png
as v format" is inept beyond belief. let alone "i wish to inspect this matter and can't use my eyes", it's worse : "suppose i want this to be 3x
as large" "oh can't do that". well da fuck.
phf: so my proposed "put everything into prelude" solution preserves the literacy angle, and uses prelude
as a "annotation" section, i.e. space for verbiage, supporting material etc. this will work for free with things like btcbase. can also pack it into a tar file and sign ~that~, but breaks a lot of tools
mircea_popescu: ie, the reason koch-gpg-clearsing worked ok for us for a long time is that while flawed
as alf correctly (and repeatedly for a year now) points out, nevertheless its hole falls atop a hole of v, namely that it doesn't do "-----"
phf: you can't do anything with a binary blob, in which case vpatch serves exclusively
as a dumb payload or a container
phf: mircea_popescu: i get the problem, but you can always some up with a strict no-blob solution, whether or not it's practical. in this case include your entire training set, that, being go boards, can literally be represented
as ascii x/o drawings
jurov: MIME avoids this by generating unique magic strings
as delimiters after the fact. but you don't want to, i guess.
mircea_popescu: phf trinque mod6 does this notion sound
as idiotic to you
as it does to him ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform :
as a palleative : could we actually just fucking edit koch-rsa so that "----" rather than "-" becomes a symbol and deploy this on deedbot ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:46 asciilifeform: btw for folx who are thick
as a brick i will point out, that i SPECIFICALLY DO NOT WANT vdiff's '---' turned by idiot koch liquishit into '- ---'
adlai: my intent was not nubbins's "you guys are operating badly", but rather "you guys are operating differently from how i expected, could you please educate me
as to why my assumption is incorrect?"
adlai: i do hope that identifying my assumptions
as such
as improvement upon leaving them implicit.
mircea_popescu: minding own business,
as reflected in, for eg, having actually come up with something useful at some point, and also in the negative in, eg, not asking me to do your homework out of published data, is key.
adlai: asciilifeform: hypothetical program gets two files
as input, old version and new version. proceeds to make diff itself, rather than relying on gnudiff; doesn't need to use awk matching since it's not massaging grudiff output but rather producing the vpatch directly itself, thus bypassing this magic string. am i missing something?
phf: asciilifeform: i suggested one, i'm still suggesting it. philosophically correct solution would be to reduce graph to something that can be reasoned about
as text. note that i'm not even sure if i'm prepared to advocate for that
as the main way forward, but it's an option.
mircea_popescu: we appreciate the compliment ; they can go serenade all the dumb cunts that don't know better,
as before.
adlai:
as i see it the problem is that a valid gnudiff output is a false positive for the awk script, this actually has nothing to do with b64 that just happens to have produced the first example of this output
adlai: ugh, sadly internet collections of quotes from "The Phantom Tollbooth" lack the one about valid reasons... left
as exercise to reader
phf: goes back to our conversation about "why you no respect ptacek". since their opinions are not hinged on any deliberately lived experience, they change them according to fashions. if you happen to be fashion aligned you'll think that they are geniuses, but
as soon
as you start doing your own thing, you realize just how superficial they are
thestringpuller: Luke-jr was trying to warn people similarly to you
as to "paper wallet" crap-olade. And "the self proclaimed experts" stated, " He doesn't believe that any security sensitive activity should happen in a web browser, disregarding the fact that today's JavaScript actually has excellent cryptographic bonafides -- like a random number generator that's generally stronger than whatever the host operating system can offer."
mircea_popescu: dude, you're such a nut. they make 1mn addresses, combine them into sets of 10, try each combination
as payout address for the block.
mod6: asciilifeform: also, there is a techincal reason for going front -> back,
as opposed to back -> front.
