mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit ; they just want to maybe make a buck. here's his card, he sells insurance. thanks for coming to the funeral.
asciilifeform: (didn't somebody walk in here a few wks ago pushing that thing?)
mircea_popescu: just a figure, and this is supposed to pass for you know, ACTUAL DATA.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/XkHIh << peanut gallery snapshot for the lulz. 'I wonder if @briankrebs has a negligence case against the manufacturers of the IoT devices that got hacked and took down his website?' .... but somehow not mircea_popescu against shitpress, because Reasons. etc
mircea_popescu: but in typical "most intreprid" pseudoscientifico-dumb-woman style, there's exactly no details published, no logs, no sample packets, no nothing.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the byte per second metric is suspect, seeing how at that scale packet count matters more in general.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't trust numbers from the victims. if you add up what damages victims report, you get three times the gdp.
mircea_popescu: yeah, if meade ever gets THAT good we might get to see.
asciilifeform: (supposing there even was such a thing as TB/s ddos, and krebs didn't conjure it up out of air)
asciilifeform: would be interesting to see, though, what trilema would do against a sustained TB/s.
mircea_popescu: not even their own kids / wives / parents would actually notice or much give a shit.
mircea_popescu: pro tip : that fat microsoft pushing fuck whatever his name was went away permanently. nobody EVEN REMEMBERS his fucking name.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the "nobody cares" is really hard to digest for the ustard hive huh.
asciilifeform: 'For the better part of a day, KrebsOnSecurity, arguably the world's most intrepid source of security news, has been silenced...' << ohnoez!11
asciilifeform: post the terminal dump for other folx when you do tho.
asciilifeform: have fun trinque
trinque: did not cure yet; I'm off to have a beer by the lake for now
asciilifeform: best way is to have as many of the things as you have boards that take'em, but this is complicated by the fact that if the probe is plugged in but not driven, the board will not boot.
asciilifeform: (and, most annoyingly, typically on the 2nd or 3rd time you do it...)
asciilifeform: also trinque it ~will~ die if you plug it in backwards.
asciilifeform: (or some tool which accepts gdb plumbing, e.g., 'ida')
asciilifeform: you gotta be comfortable with gdb at the minimum.
asciilifeform: sage is a pretty temperamental instrument, though, definitely not konsoomer 'plug and go' sort of affair.
shinohai: Well since trinque confirms it has the sage included I may just order one
asciilifeform: trinque et al : anyone who intends to do whatever x86 wizardry at whatever potential point in the future, ought to consider picking up one of them things.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have nfi, would have to pry the thing apart
trinque will take some pics and write it up when I've applied the hax
trinque: asciilifeform: that gizmo 1 kit *does* have the sage

scriba: Logged on 2016-09-23: [21:49:20] <mod6> Worth thinking about anyway.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160923/#424 << yeah, food for thoughts
mod6: just tried it again, same thing. works fine.
mod6: wonder if it's a weird timing issue or something...
mod6: huh, the weird part is, when i run basically the same code in my test channel, with the /exact/ same command, the bot does exactly what it should. o.O
phf: hehe, that wasn't even the bug i was looking for
shinohai: ^ tis a bug
phf: hmm, that looks like a bug
phf: when they get to him, they'll do it by slowly pulling fep boards out one by one
phf: asciilifeform is really the last self aware symbolics 3640, that they didn't destroy during the great ai purge in the 80s. (lisp of course succeeded, DoD panicked and wiped out all traces of ai, save for one..)
a111: [THE AGE OF MEN IS OVER, NOW IS THE AGE OF BOTS]
phf: heh, looking at last few hours of log, it's all people talking to bots
mod6: i dunno, have to dig into it after the makefiles.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-23 14:20 mircea_popescu: actually since you brought it up it reminded me of vague discussion, so let's make it explicit. mod6 asciilifeform i dunno how practical it is yet, but eventually trb block mechanics will have to be expanded to memory datastore, so that it holds the current blk000n it's working on in ram and dumps it to disk only when full. MUCH easier to cache a disk with no writes on it.
mod6: !%edit trb 26 C "Mempool changes implemented" "http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-23#1547601" 25 ☝︎
mod6: putting in the changes "!%" may have broke something. I did them pretty quick. I didn't do a ton of testing because of other, more important work.
mod6: I don't think that's it.
shinohai: Didn't like the html link it appears

shinohai: I got 2 builds today bte, one offline, one on. Both perform as expected.
mod6: I'm gonna just stick this idea into ticket #26
mod6: Worth thinking about anyway.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-23 14:34 mircea_popescu: so operator can set 200 gb for blockchain, it gets made into 200k cells, they store 200k blocks and hallelujah.

mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-23#1547601 << I'll think on this a bit... ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-23#1547809 << overstatement. i'm still waiting to read the specs of, e.g., BATON and JOSEKI, or for the intel magic packet of domination, etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck is "anonymous call" reasonable suspicion what the fuck already.
mircea_popescu: that stupid shit with the hot mulatto chick being reported by "anonymous caller" is so fucking outrageous...
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-23: [16:42:23] <asciilifeform> and, while we're on subj, https://archive.is/2QkOB -- 'a former NSA employee carelessly left those hacking tools on a remote server three years ago after an operation and a group of Russian hackers found them, sources close to the investigation told Reuters.'
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160923/#333 << remarkably, the stove is ever so clean!
mircea_popescu: slowly reimplements trilema 100% :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform delay your rss if this bothers you :)
PeterL: www, the only abreviation that is 3 times as many sylables as what it abreviates
PeterL: where is the acronym bot to decipher ^ ?
pete_dushenski: awww gs is laying off 30% of their asian division because m&a's are down by a similar proportion. must suck to run out of tax loopholes.
mircea_popescu: inexplicably, for all the time spent "grooming", the chimps in question still have a head full of lice, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: hey, women have been doing this in africa for WAY LONGER than your pesky newton and whoelse.
ben_vulpes: as opposed i imagine to sitting around producing knowledge by cheeping at each other!
pete_dushenski: so let's all warm up, strip down, move to calais...
ben_vulpes: reliance on lecture as a teaching method!
pete_dushenski: cuz it's waaay too chilly up in here
ben_vulpes: Examples of STEM classroom practices that contribute to a chilly climate are weed-out courses, courses that grade on a curve, a competitive environment, reliance on lecture as a teaching method, an individualistic culture, and comprehensive exams
ben_vulpes: ahaha and i found the pp mircea_popescu was lampooning
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 18:30 mircea_popescu: ahahaha laura parson kicks all ass! "stem syllabi are gendered because they promote the idea that knowledge can be ascertained through reason, which is a masculine concept that hurts women's feelings and makes it difficult for them to succeed."
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-22#1547299 << "The disciplinary training of many physical scientists eschews alternative paradigms of knowledge production" ohohohahahahaha ☝︎
pete_dushenski: it's never too late.
shinohai: pete_dushenski you make me think I made a mistake not publishing dead baby article!
trinque: what's worse than 10 dead babies in a trash can? One dead baby in 10 trash cans.
pete_dushenski: 'what's pink, bubbly, and taps on the glass ? a baby in the microwave!' 'what's pink, silver, and runs into walls ? a baby with forks in its eyes!' 'what's worse than a barrel full of dead babies ? a live one at the bottom trying to eat its way out!'
shinohai: I decided against the dead baby article, but if you still want it I'll write it up.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/1pIG
asciilifeform: (whole thing worth reading)
asciilifeform: y presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise clientele. They were doing the pre-crime policing already anyway.'
asciilifeform: 'It is but a little speculation to posit this is why governments got into the AML/KYC rigmarole: They saw the combatting fraud pretext being done and wanted in on that game, for information is power and having the mechanisms in place to cut individuals out of the system with convenient excuses is just prudence, if you think that way. And on the other side, it neatly explains why banks didn’t utter a peep in defence of their formerl
ben_vulpes only recognized this due to sins of a previous life
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: commented, and also your blog still has the gravatar thing
asciilifeform: 'But instead of warning the affected companies that their customers were at risk, the NSA maintained the silence.'
asciilifeform: and, while we're on subj, https://archive.is/2QkOB -- 'a former NSA employee carelessly left those hacking tools on a remote server three years ago after an operation and a group of Russian hackers found them, sources close to the investigation told Reuters.'
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/qZNlh << aaaaand elsewhere in lulzdom, 'Leaked NSA hacking tools are now being used on Cisco customers, according to the tech giant. The company published an advisory on Friday saying that NSA grade hacking tools are now being used against customers.'
asciilifeform: 'NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced a settlement with Trump International Hotels Management LLC, d/b/a Trump Hotel Collection (“THC”), involving data breaches resulting in the exposure of over 70,000 credit card numbers and other personal data. THC has agreed to pay $50,000 in penalties and to shore up its data security practices.'
asciilifeform: ( subj was originally a krebs thread. )
shinohai: tu no tienes privilegios
PeterL: pete_dushenski are we going to set policy here or are we going to let "democracy" win?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-23 13:22 mircea_popescu: i have no idea who even decided this, it just looks like someone in teacher's school just flipped a bit, started sending out teachers with corrupted spelling of prilivedge, and since nobody reads anything anyway it just perpetuated,
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-23#1547546 << i used to intuitively spell it 'priviledge' but was then beat down by the idiotic 'right way' into dropping the 'd'. might be time for a comeback tour. ☝︎
