asciilifeform: Framedragger: re earlier thread : i looked far and wide to possibly buy rng to compare with -- and found nothing worth buying ( no, i won't compare with whitened; i won't pay 20,000 $+ for a box of schematicless ??? ; etc )
mircea_popescu: this "we don't have a log" hurr is becoming the #1 dunning-kruger symptom. they dun have one and dun know why they'd miss it, just like i wouldn't havce known in 2012.
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that there isn't some sort of large pocket of life out there that's being somehow missed on.
phf: i suspect that no vocal nonwot bought FUCKGOATS. it's either inwot, or else lurkers, that otherwise don't have any kind of presence. won't start participating with a review (even though that's probably a reason way to put self on radar)
asciilifeform: there were a number of folx whom i don't know, who bought. but none yet wrote in.
mod6: doesn't probably do us all justice if I run some of these test collections on some shitty hardware i may or may not have.
mircea_popescu: im guessing my browser isn't ajaxy enough or such
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i ain't particularly interested in testing whitened 't'rng , also
Framedragger: hah i didn't know about that! nice one...
mircea_popescu: it'd have been high brow snark had the reference somehow worked ; but i couldn't unearth one that'd so work. "last us philosopher was this irish novelist"
mircea_popescu: inb4 us medical profession wakes up to the sad fact that the raise in autism has nothing to do with ~organic~ causes. the kids just don't like the environment any, opt out. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the last time us citizen actually said something in public that wasn't marketing-derivative might have been before mark twain was born. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Don't use pirated software or pirate any content. Netflix is cheap, Spotify is free if you tolerate ads, and honestly there are tonnes of open source solutions for whatever you need to do.' << lol!!
mircea_popescu: windows idiots are quite the fucking problem aren't they.
phf: i don't think it's masochism, it's very much in the knuthlamportdijkstra tradition of things, but yeah, typically you would ask cpu with asm if there was an overflow
asciilifeform: phf: it isn't global, it is part of the 'generic' definition (analogous to cpp template.) will become apparent when you read entire thing.
asciilifeform: what'd that look like ? it isn't as if typical, e.g., usaschwitz inmate, will ever touch real money with own hands
asciilifeform: iirc 'other whole thing' wasn't powered by much of anything
mircea_popescu: "The only good thing I can say about this product is that it does not create an MX record for your domain, upholding the "no MX" in the name. I've no idea why not having an MX record for your domain is a good thing, but, it doesn't create one nonetheless. The python script that runs every 15 minutes only adds A records for mail and localmail, nothing else. Interestingly, the GoDaddy API client that they use doesn't support MX
asciilifeform: don't settle for small change, either, power with polywell fusor.
mircea_popescu: the discussion went something like : "i am affraid though the name may put people off, how fixated are you" "i don't specifically care" "oh here's this website i made" "dude, why the fuck are you making websites, go talk to people".
mircea_popescu: well, can't blame him, i expect bbc-whatever actually pays to have that shit looked at.
asciilifeform: 'This is great news, I can't send emails from my new super awesome secure email server to anyone with a Microsoft email account because they just return it. The story is pretty similar across the board with the email either being returned or put straight in the spam folder of the recipient. I tried against GMail and a few other large providers and found that not one of them made it to the inbox anywhere. After I got a few emails boun
asciilifeform: 'Now, as soon as I looked at this device I already had a really bad feeling. First of all, through the vent holes on the top I could see that the PCB inside took up ~25% of the footprint of the device, the case was considerably larger than the PCB inside it, which seemed odd. Second, the MAC address on the bottom looked familiar, really familiar. Putting that little thought to the back of my mind I cracked open the case by removing t
asciilifeform: i haven't yet been to pripyat, either; or to fukushima; or to st. quentin prison; etc.
asciilifeform: can't say that i have, or desperately burning with urgency to.
mircea_popescu: i don't so much care whether the goldman sachs attempt worked or didn't work. i very much care that juju worship be socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the earlier point - there's a very strong line dividing the case where "your idea will never work, but you can have an A anyway" because obviously you can't write a functional description of business but nevertheless that should not stop you from trying ; and "your idea if you can call it that means you can never get anything other than an F no matter what you do", because apparently you separated from human cultur
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so how do i get the interval set up in your logotron ? i clicked on a date and got the #34 added. but the dot is not clickable so i can't close the interval. wut do ?
mircea_popescu also likes BingoBoingo tax piece. he's shaped himself into quite the gazette's editor, hasn't he!
mod6: incomplete/buggy app isn't even worth performance testing anyway.
mircea_popescu: well ideally we won't need so much jungle profiling with properly written code.
mod6: Wasn't a total loss this month being able to do some FG testing and eatblock testing.
mod6: mircea_popescu: lol, no. i did't have to hurt anybody or anything. i just lost my cool.
mircea_popescu: mod6 this isn't your way of telling us you got six dead hookers in your shed is it ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> kinda the problem with all the makework positions, "teachers", "daycare specialists" and on it goes. << If the "makework" doesn't include lift and move materials as needed for paying customers it's more welfare
mod6: you know the damnable misery of the whole thing? i woudln't have let my dog go through the same suffering.
mod6: Ladies and Gentlemen, I just don't know. Mr. Popescu has it, we were lucky. And it feels like such a shitty, actually, horrible way to have to feel about such a damn tragedy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: y'sure you aren't operating with pre-2001 prices ?
asciilifeform: mmno 20k/mo doesn't even get you a 4star suite in chicago.
mod6: mircea_popescu: we got uber lucky. that's the point. you shound't have to get lucky when something like this happens.
mod6: but if it wasn't for that! then what?
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've ever seen a jurisdiction where oncology beds weren't short. ever.
mod6: they were all like. "OMG SHE DOESN"T HAVE 24 HOUR CARE AT HOME?!?!?"
mod6: it recently felt pretty fucking awful to watch my mom wither away infront of my eyes while suffering. not allowed to die, she doesn't have permission.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 02:14 mod6: trinque: well, whatever the impetus, it still beats "you must suffer because you can't self-terminate. life is precious(tm)"
mircea_popescu: and plox don't tell me "creativity" thx.
mod6: trinque: well, whatever the impetus, it still beats "you must suffer because you can't self-terminate. life is precious(tm)" ☟︎
BingoBoingo: shinohai: About how long until a live site spins up? Some agriCulture news is dropping tomorrow and Qntra isn't the right venue. Can go on personal blog if the journal is not yet publishing, but... content will be available if the venue exists.
mircea_popescu: ks to be a warning. People also don't expect things to be complicated enough to warrant a tutorial, so they won't allocate time specifically to read one, on any topic, for any reason. They're wrong, of course, but they won't ever find that out, to the best extent of their abilities."
mircea_popescu: they're chinese, they don't make sense. but anyway.
asciilifeform: point is that it won't burn until water boils out.
shinohai: Can't say I have.
shinohai: If burned in barged, what ensures complete combustion so the remaining fats don't seep into the water supply and pollute ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doesn't simulate cpu -- read the src/docs
asciilifeform: valgrind doesn't simulate cpu
mircea_popescu: if you're interested in either gprof or valgrind's callgrind, or both or whatever, his thing is useful. but i'm not. specifically because bitcoin is too large and slow to be run on valgrind-simulated cpu, and moreover if we could do that we wouldn't have any of the problems we currently approach anymore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not saying there is ; i am saying i don't care for either method of profiling he discusses for this usecase.
mircea_popescu: wasn't a protest.
mircea_popescu: aren't those in .h ?
asciilifeform: can't put printf in , e.g., declarations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, either approach discussed is ridiculous. i don't need valgrind to emulate a processor and then guess how long things' take ; i don't want gprof's sampling either. just awk the codebase to add a printf after each instruction spitting out time and recompile. that's it.
mircea_popescu: if the academia scam weren't there to extract the ones with iq > room temp from "street lyfe", we'd be stuck fishing this end of the lulz pond rather than campuses.
mircea_popescu: then those who do lord it over the ones who don't, irrespective of how they had ~no merit in it, then those who don't get frustrated and double down their efforts because hey, it's personal now, and that's how women judge their self worth, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: ie, you get lucky. most don't.
shinohai: Didn't bother to crop the url from screenshots
shinohai: Most of the girls won't answer their DM's unless sent > $20 fee. Answering these emails for select ladies could be profitable for me if they'd only pay in Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: "i read a book i like twice, but books i don't like i don't read at all!11"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unfortunately the d00d is quite correct in his description of the mechanism. gprof doesn't work in the obvious, sane way ( a mechanized version of what i did -- per-routine timer ) but using randomized sampling.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for one thing, the yossi kreinin piece doesn't EVEN USE an actual program. and this "let's imagine" fluff is pretty much peak data in this "field" of "cultured folks". naimean ?
mircea_popescu: mm. doesn;t it ?
asciilifeform: 1 snag is that -- afaik -- gprof doesn't work with static bins, or musl.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-26#1648004 << no i know, but it can't hurt to have ☝︎
asciilifeform: mod6: you didn't miss any patch
mod6: It wouldn't take much more effort to add the AcceptBlock values into the trb_offline_eatblock.png if that's wanted.
asciilifeform: we aren't speaking of an ~optimal~ predictor, note
asciilifeform: ( and on encrypt, as well as decrypt end ! leaking plaintext isn't more forgivable on transmitter end than on receiver )
mod6: I did run across one on shithub that was implemented with a linkedlist. this seems like exactly what we wouldn't want.
asciilifeform: but i haven't the original paper at hand, this is a 20y+ memory.
asciilifeform: btw i now realize that this entire idea isn't asciilifeform's, but actually greg chaitin's.
pete_dushenski: don't think it brought me much closer to hashem. just have to wait for musk's tesla'filin for my salvation!
trinque: tinfoil t'filin ?
pete_dushenski: and that's how you end up with hebes wrapped in t'filin
shinohai: http://www.sikoba.com/www/presale/index.html <<< You just can't make these lulz up
asciilifeform: it isn't as if wf were a company, in the customary sense -- it's a usg organ, like microshit. 'tbtf'
mircea_popescu: o no, don't tell me... the fiat empire consists principally of dead souls ?! which have bank accounts and facebook accounts and read the new yorker and vote pantsuit ?!
mats: asciilifeform: wot analysis and identifying weirdness that pgp will accept but ordinarily silently discard some aspect (wrappers i've looked at don't use verbose flag during import) , ie, a subkey binding like the hpa key
mircea_popescu: 0.nothing percent doesn't matter ?!?!
mircea_popescu: trying to knock young men down ain't gonna do jack for propping up unmen.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha, don't tell me new korea war
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-25#1647772 << i tried this, wasted a great deal of time. you can't get an sks dump by running sks. ☝︎
mod6: THIS ISN'T MAIL! IT'S A QUEST!
asciilifeform: i don't have a rigorous proof. ( though -- would much like to. )
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i am deliberately being snarky. please don't spend cpu cycles decoding this remark
mircea_popescu: lol. hey, mebbe it will, mebbe it won't.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, i suppose i follow. hrr, ok i'll need to see what in particular was revealed/claimed in #t. besides "it's snake oil!"; i do hope that if/when aes is broken, #t doesn't go out saying "#t said all symmetric crypto is snakeoil! plagiarism!!"
mircea_popescu: this you opted to discuss in "objective" terms, which whatever, you then later decided you don't want to discuss. fine. but the question was why doesn't ~he~ so claim.
Framedragger: so to construct a counterargument, i'd have to dig into what particular 'novel' stuff monerolink is claiming, and what particular vulns were discussed by monero project prior to this stuff. i can't be bothered, though - just don't care about monero that much - does that mean that i now have to default to "all shit is stolen from #t!"
Framedragger: i'm not the best devil's advocate (nor do i want to be). maybe i can find something better and more concrete, true. it's just.. attribution of this much political clout to #t.. that'd sure be *grand*, and (hopefully) the case in the future. but i just dunno, man.
Framedragger: i don't know, are you saying that ideas from #t in regards to what, ringCT vulnerabilities? - have been taken?
