mircea_popescu: phf he doesn't even specifically want to become a scourge. he wants to "they should be punished" ; and "to become a dictator". essentially, like any good liberal/socialist, he JUST WANTS THE STATE TO.
phf: i think that's the funny bit about roger whatshisname, he gets alienated from society and decides to become a scourge, but him and his definition of malice are so dull, it's like a parody of a gothic character
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller check out teh institutional racisms.
mircea_popescu: phf that's not what mr elliot said though.
mircea_popescu: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2407/pg2407.txt << judge for self. it's tiny, iirc he wrote it in two weeks
phf: as a gothic stance, "if society rejects me, i will now serve the utmost evil!"
phf: mircea_popescu: did werther turn to evil?
mircea_popescu: go to alabama, find more 35 yo grandmothers than you can count.
thestringpuller: oh man i've been lied to my whole life! I still have my abstinence pledge too!
mircea_popescu: teen pregnancies were traditionally a white thing. this never ever changed ; except for the weirdo new york elliots (they prefer to call themselves liberals) who thought it did because they stopped looking briefly.
mircea_popescu: but the LYRICS they put out are unrelated in any case. you know literature generally lies, yes ?
thestringpuller: oh i kno. unfortunately for america, it's "pop culture" like the sitcom now. teen pregnancies ain't just for black folk no mo'
a111: Logged on 2016-08-26 03:53 phf: he's like an incredibly dull, millenial take on a gothic hero, a modern day maldoror
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-26#1529630 << i confess the sufferances of young werther are always in my mind reading him. "why like this and not like that ?" ☝︎
thestringpuller: Which is 90% of niggas who impregnate a gold digger no matter how much money they eventually make.
thestringpuller: First: "Eighteen years, eighteen years / She got one of your kids, got you for eighteen years / I know somebody paying child support for one of his kids / His baby mama car and crib is bigger than his"
mircea_popescu: including because thousands of little queen's own cunts, aged six to sixteen, openly preferred to be manhandled by pakis rather than commune with english mainstream society.
mircea_popescu: this, in the uk, by all accounts a worse shithole than the us.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, refer to recent republican record : rando whore divorcing businessman recently got less than 1% of his net worth, and then the judge ridiculed her and cut her loot by 2/3 on apeal. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller a "great point" in the sense of it being repeated a lot online. talk to a divorce lawyer sometime, this "absolute right to divorce" does not work that way in practice.
mircea_popescu: the subjective experience of loss and inadequacy is a huge underground ocean comprising most of the human bejaviour known as art.
mircea_popescu: trinque ironically, for a long time in [the very repressive, and otherwise bizarre] austro-hungarian society, little girls thought they were castrated. literally, that ancient trick of "i stole your nose" that amuses 3yos ; they thought someone took their penis, which is why they don't look like boys.
trinque: exactly the perspective of this elliot guy
trinque: thestringpuller: that shit about "males *have been* emasculated" is nonsense
thestringpuller: "I see the devolution of Western culture upon us because the males have been emasculated with a combination of societal enforcement of child support payments along with the absolute right of the female to divorce taking all the financial support while remaining promiscuous." << actually i have no idea what gender this person is, but makes great points.
shinohai: ok gimmie a bit to sign in, i never bothered to register it :/
mircea_popescu: shinohai gotta register it ; -ChanServ- TRS80` is not registered.
shinohai: better chix on trilema
shinohai: why do you even read that drivel ?
thestringpuller super bored in the coal mine today.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller where's that from ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "The beta-males also wish to be alpha, but for whatever reason they are realistically incapable of it, so they must accept the role of trying to impregnate a female when she is fertile by keeping her away from an alpha-male." interesting perspective. ☟︎
shinohai: iit already has this mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: shinohai hook it into some api (preferably not bc.info) to do ;;tslb ;;bc,stats etc, it can replace gribble here.
phf: particular transport. never the less when the conversation about current spec comes in you are eager to point out how spec is useless. it's a significant effort to drone you out long enough to actually attempt the implementation, and since in my experience attempting the implementation is a significant step in grokking, i think you repeating the same point over and over again actually lowers overall snr. ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: going back to gossip conversation, my issue is that the gossip you talk about exists exclusively in your head, where's mp got a spec. there are aspects of gossip functionality that can be explored with current spec despite the underlying tcp transport. and like i said broken transport doesn't invalidate the application functionality. it will leak in practice through tcp shenanigans, but that's the nature of this
mircea_popescu: jurov now there is : http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-08-26.log.html#t14:13:32 ☟︎
asciilifeform: a great many x11 proggies i use run on remote machines. and i have NO intention of partaking in the 'own one computer' horseshit.
phf: asciilifeform: we're in agreement on that one
asciilifeform: phf: my published positions re x11 concern the machines ~i presently use~
phf: (i reread the log)
phf: there needs to be a feature in logs where you only render a subset of nicks ☟︎
phf: different kind of foundations, mcclim clx backend. he was saying lets replace it wholesale with a framebuffer renderer. i was arguing that it's better to cleanup clx first that'll make framebuffer renderer easier. i misunderstood your position then. i thought you were agreeing, but i suppose your position was that there's no point in replacing x with lesser alternative at all
asciilifeform: i dun even recall a debate. there was gabriel_laddel proposing to build hybrid of bulldog and rhino, 'lisp machine with linux', a mengelian atrocity with no future, because a foundation cannot be corrected any more than one can un-drop a baby.
phf: well, then you were arguing opposite point in the mcclim conversation
phf: it's like you're now on the other side in the gabriel_laddel mcclim debate
asciilifeform: as a teaching tool, hearts and livers are separable.
phf: as a final product -- not, but as a teaching tool?
asciilifeform: as an only sane possible replacement for tcp.
phf: so then it's not even about gossip, it's about "lets have a replacement for tcp"
phf: which layer are we talking here?
asciilifeform: nor the 'order of packets does ~not matter' aspect.
phf: but that's a very minor detail of the spec!
asciilifeform: phf: the handful of interesting aspects (single-packet friend-or-foe, no tcp) were outlined here.
phf: well, since that's never been published we can't even have meaningful conversations about it :p
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, as often happens, had correct idea, but was not aware of the sheer rot of the available building blocks.
asciilifeform: (and i will point out that i started on my concept long before mircea_popescu wrote it.) ☟︎
phf: current spec doesn't do that
asciilifeform: likewise a gossip node ought never to rely on a single entry point. and certainly not on a single ~published~ entry point.
asciilifeform: and there are no sybils, even as a theoretical item, in a correct gossiptron - every receiver knows exactly who (pubkey-wise) has any business transmitting to it, and rejects packet that is malformed, replayed, or signed with ANY other key, in constant time.
asciilifeform: the cost of validation in a single-packet-authenticating protocol where you crunch the numbers at line speed is effectively 0.
phf: yeah it's a shitty transport, that doesn't contradict anything i said though
asciilifeform: but it was ~always~ possible, from day1 of tcp, and this is evident to anyone with a copy of, e.g, richard stevens's 'tcp/ip illustrated'.
asciilifeform: it can also inject crapolade, into any tcp stream whatsoever. this is not a hypothetical, the actual mechanism that is actually used was recently discovered.
asciilifeform: as happens many times every day on our trb nodes.
asciilifeform: usg can reset any and all tcp connections whenever it feels like it.
asciilifeform: it is ALSO evil because it sends anything whatsoever in the cleartext (sequence number, for instance, and RESET)
asciilifeform: hence the existence of such a thing as a syn flood.
asciilifeform: tcp is evil, fundamentally because it violates the 'NEVER something-for-nothing-to-all-comers-FUCKOFFRANDOS' principle. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-26 12:50 phf: it can be construed as trust if you don't anything beyond what i said, so i also said that there's no trust. of course that's only my interpretation and asciilifeform can provide his own
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-26#1529651 << ~tcp~ is evil, and i will kill it with my own hands. at least in the sense where i killed, e.g., git. ☝︎☟︎
phf: come to think of it sybil is not the right word in this case, on application level there's no psuedonymity and you only talk to people in wot. on transport level an attacker can construct a valid looking (struct layout wise) pgp packet, which in my naive spec implementation is handed over to gnupg. now you have a bunch of potential attack vectors here, but assuming there's no memory attacks in gnupg, race conditions in gpgme,
phf: i don't think there's a solution to drowned in sibyl's in general. there's a cost to validating counterparty (which is continuous in case of gossipd, there's no "validate the ip, and then trust it" which is what i mean by "no trust in ip"), which can be exploited by attacker. ☟︎
Framedragger: ..however, it is possible to get drowned in sibyl nodes. but, i get your point.
phf: if i tell you "go to such and such place and then once you're there do another validation" you don't have to trust that "such and such place" is valid purely by being there
phf: that's a pretty useless interpretation of trust
Framedragger: ..iirc one of the original ideas was to "pass around ip addresses" as things bound to some nick/identity; there is a trust component here; but i'm sure it's evolved since then, etc etc.
phf: it can be construed as trust if you don't anything beyond what i said, so i also said that there's no trust. of course that's only my interpretation and asciilifeform can provide his own ☟︎
Framedragger: i won't argue the point, sorry for any frustration caused. the thing i have in mind is probably not the "current spec" anyway!
Framedragger: that can be construed as trust, but yeah ok. ☟︎
phf: the argument is that technology needs to be entirely routing agnostic, where's now you think in terms of (afair) mappings between keys and addresses
phf: asciilifeform's objections was that gossipd relies on ip addresses at all
a111: Logged on 2016-08-26 01:10 phf: adlai: i think gossip spec is fine, just nobody took it to release. asciilifeform has significant changes to the spec, but if you ignore those you can still build a working implementation. in fact, unless you're ascii, i think it's better to ignore further discussion and just stick to what mp wrote. i also think it's one of those ideas you don't want nailed down at protocol level. mine for example slings gpg packets
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-26#1529496 << just curious - does the gossip spec as it is place any trust in ip addresses? this iirc was one of the points criticized by asciilifeform, i would think it to be a valid one. sorry if this, too, was extensively discussed in the logs. ☝︎
jurov: ^ since there's no gribble in #eulora
jurov: ;;later tell PeterL run configure as: CFLAGS=-fexceptions CXXFLAGS=-fexceptions ./configure
davout: my new address for those who'll want to visit http://i.imgur.com/fSyFNEM.jpg
PeterL: what do you consider the age cutoff for millenials? Or is it a frame of mind rather than a specific age range?
PeterL: too busy staring at their phones to touch each other, no touching means no sex
BingoBoingo: phf: The pollsters say millenials are actually not fucking very much. Too much world of snapchat.
phf: he's like an incredibly dull, millenial take on a gothic hero, a modern day maldoror ☟︎
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2016/the-story-of-elliot-rodger-by-elliot-rodger-adnotated-part-five/ << Trilema - The Story of Elliot Rodger. By Elliot Rodger. Adnotated. Part Five.
mircea_popescu: de gaulle first on the fucking list
mircea_popescu: hey, some airports were designed by the mentally retarded
BingoBoingo: "I left around the beginning of August. This was my first time traveling alone, and I didn’t know what to expect. Father signed me up to have supervised travel assistance to help me along the way, otherwise I would get lost in the airport." << LOL Airport Special ED!
phf: i think it might be failing to pick up eulora specific assets
BingoBoingo: That's a pretty good looking horror game there
mircea_popescu: PeterL ^ if that helps.
phf: it sort of works, http://glyf.org/tmp/eulora-2.png doesn't load any textures though. i'm going to push the update to the scripts, but i won't be able to look at it proper for another couple of weeks
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if mircea_popescu had written that rodgier ought to have ~been buggered~, or enslaved by arabs, or similar, i would have no dispute. but it is just as fantastic to posit schmuck going into pederasty willingly, as to picture him growing taller by effort of will << He probably would enthusiastically have embraced getting buggered if he was a level 70 chocolate elfhole while recieving buggery
