asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu routinely taught it to the gurlz
asciilifeform: but if mircea_popescu is a gifted telepath, clairvoyant, and spirit-summoner and proposes to use 'technology' to describe his abilities, imho this is abuse of terminology.
asciilifeform: and spoken to by mircea_popescu for first time.
asciilifeform: or does mircea_popescu propose that i could not possibly perform the match trick even if told all.
asciilifeform: i can readily believe that mircea_popescu's magic got stronger, sure. but did he singlehandedly surplus all of the obsolete meatbags ? or did somebody else's magic also get stronger, and if so how..?
asciilifeform: does it reduce to mircea_popescu asserting 'my magic got stronger in ineffable wayz and stfu' ?
asciilifeform: yeah but it is also possible that mircea_popescu benefits from scratching his toes just-so when he wakes up. this is not a technical advance as generally understood, because the recipe is useless to anybody else.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lsd, famously
a111: Logged on 2016-05-19 15:27 mircea_popescu: notrly. finance is basically "engineering for large systems with complex parts"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chumpatronics quite clearly moved forward! yes
asciilifeform: until very recently i used to think quite like mircea_popescu above, 'sure, i'll read even if implemented in js'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on the contrary, there isn't a reference implementation.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> you wish to think in terms of your chosen art, which is meaningless. it's not always the same art that provides the additional leverage. <<< pretty much everything other than the infernal machines has been going to hell, visibly to naked eye. so which art would it be that mircea_popescu was thinking of ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah... thinking...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah ok i'm afraid i've to agree
shinohai: I grudgingly admit that mircea_popescu was right as always, that I would enjoy it if I got off my ass and did it.
Framedragger suspects mircea_popescu is baiting him about tor because he remembers those comments on trilema where framedragger said "evidence or gtfo mircea" ;)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-19 01:40 mircea_popescu: oh ok, so changed 16^64 to 10^64 and the "generate entropy in the shape of floating point number" thing clearly indicate these fellows are windows programmers with a strong javascript focus.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-18 21:23 mircea_popescu: lol i see the Framedragger fellow got his baptism by fire ?
asciilifeform: if we are thinking of an academic, the qualities mircea_popescu would admire would be inversely correlated with promotion
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not a matter of temperament, matter of rank
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'нетрудовой доход' (tm) (r)
phf: mircea_popescu: you know that is weird, seems like sop was accessible prices even at fancy places, but was discouraged from attending. i might be misremembering something
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: depends where. though with weed about to be legal, probably more places soon to be.
asciilifeform: (consider folks who came out golden from su collapse, e.g., mircea_popescu, putin, etc. ; is it because they prophetically set up warehouses of toilet paper ??)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 19:33 mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally through this phase of "fantasy busienss" where they keep doing various coups in their heads, start a carwash then buy a shoestore with the proceeds then trade that in for a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: no ?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'will not work' means that sks gossip protocol requires blessing on both ends of the line, so i'd have to make friends with an existing user
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wanted a leechatron
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu soooo i went through the epic headache of setting up sks server on dulap, only to learn that the thing will not work without blessing from existing sks operators.

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: fwiw, posted as comment on your article, and paste here: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/516b9972-337a-4b88-ba48-711af84dc281/ - easiest format of responding is probably as a follow-up comment on blog, though.. anyway. i liked the overall idea.

a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 13:23 mircea_popescu: bad crop, bad pose, what the fuck is it with the milkstained, nipple torn bra and so on.

asciilifeform: (although mircea_popescu pretty convincingly explained that it ought to)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 08:01 mircea_popescu: honestly, it's a surprise to me they haven't introduced cockcaging for us kids as of yet. for one thing, they're doing the entire fucktarded "can't drink till 21", so they definitely could. for the other thing, it'd make so much fucking sense, in the twisted psychopathy that passes for sense in the us world : kid gets a nice cage around the age of 3 or so. prevents penis from growing, which is +++. mom gives the key to a well

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally, i only rarely visit such places, because - while i can outbid 4 or 5 of the wretches - i cannot outbid 10, and that is closer to the typical number
asciilifeform: i will add one detail that mircea_popescu may find interesting. amidst the piles of rubbish from floor to ceiling, the black mold in the single solitary toilet, carpet of stinking laundry, etc. there was a, i shit thee not, ~2metre tv in every room.

a111: Logged on 2015-10-18 14:25 mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight, you want to give people too poor to litigate, too stupid / desocialized to talk to the landlord and too scared to act the option "you can either pay 100 to the landlord as deposit or 300 to me and unlike the landlord I PROMISE to give it back (maybe), except im not anywhere near you and you can't burn my house down" ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the keys are only used in the authentication. so what gets said afterwards is 'promise', not 'protocol'
