mircea_popescu: "this cunt is not for sale - she has great future in front of her, going
to college"
mod6: but!
think of
the alt! Sitting
there playing wow while pumped full of antibiotics and just shitting in place for months at a
time seems like it'd save on costs.
adlai: asciilifeform:
true
mod6: An honest question
to ponder for our
times: "Why
the fuck do US kids even go
to school anymore ?"
mircea_popescu: it is possible
to eat shit, as an individual. it is not possible
to enact a shiteating diet.
mod6: like
this: "What
the fuck is wrong with
these people." << i mean right?
adlai: it is possible
to
trust (up
to a certain minimal degree) keys encountered "in
the wild"
mircea_popescu: " However,
this is something
that Joe can evaluate by himself, without having any need for Moe, and without needing
to ask him anything" <<
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hai << hey! also had some lulz reading part III of Rodger on
the
train.
mircea_popescu: i
thought at least re ratings it was obvious from original wot article.
adlai wonders whether
this extends
to
the entire notion of s/pubkeys/ratings/,
too
mircea_popescu: pretense
to
the contrary has a cost ; and we're not gonna be paying it.
mircea_popescu: the whole
thread was about how key owner does NOT control
the process in any shape or form.
this is
the logical equivalent of "the organism pumping blood
through
the
tits does not control
the
tit pinching
that goes on with
the
tits."
adlai: trinque: i
think you're describing an imaginary system
that doesn't actually exist in any of
the existing wotbots/
trinque: sure
there is; hash of last signed rating
adlai: wasn't
the whole
thread about
the fact
that
there's no unquestionable ordering?
adlai: (rationale for spamming: it's not a lot of data, and adding a cost
to
the process gives
the process a cost)
trinque: deeded requires signed, and if
the right material is signed, doesn't need
to be a deed.
adlai: re:
the revocation
thread from a couple days ago: why not require/expect keys, ratings, and revocations
to be at least deeded, or better yet, spammed into
the chain itself?
adlai: ok ok you're right,
they
twisted my
toenails until i screamed my password
mod6: <+shinohai> ;;later
tell mod6 success ...
this is
the coolest
thing yet. << nice!
thanks for
testing
that :]
jurov: mats: no surprise, skype was originally p2p and using port 80 has an advantage
there
phf: ok. recovery code seems
to be working, except for
that changing host issue
phf: ok, i'll fix
that later
shinohai: thestringpuller: and do you like how he is now unwittingly officially
the face of
their ponzi
phf: oh, it definitely works. i can load a previous core and
that same set of patches passes
phf: you mean do i call out
to a v? no, it ~is~ a v
phf: i figured, but i suspect it's a much more mundate explanation. nothing's change in gpg/gpgme setup from
the previous core, so
this must be something novel in
the way cmucl is packing itself
to a core file, or perhaps it's not reloading
those foreign libs properly
☟︎ phf: and
the way i'm using it is non-traditional (or perhaps very
traditional depending on how you look at it)
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw, cmucl has all kinds of nooks and crannies
that i don't want
to bring up on account of our recurring "why cmucl" conversation
☟︎ phf: i rebuilt
the core from scratch since
there was a handful of reload-breaking updates, and
that's first
thing i'm getting on load
phf: i wouldn't be surprised if somebody sets safety 0,
that's something
that i should actually grep for, but i
think it's gpgme
that's doing it
phf: heh, well,
this is promising "Error in function UNIX::SIGSEGV-HANDLER: Segmentation Violation at #xF7A94D06."
phf: who would've
thought
that actual "cyberwarfare" would be exactly like
those old cyberpunk games. "you have 1 iceBr34ker
that you can deploy againt level3 nav agent v4,
there's 15 of
those agents, choose wisely"
mircea_popescu: easily
the most ... advanced cartoon character of
the classical era.
phf: asciilifeform: donald duck had edge compared
to all
these clowns
phf:

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not much of a prop comic myself. you're
the one bringing little boards and probiscii and whatnot!
mircea_popescu: (this also plays out in
the harem, esp with mid-recent girls. she gets in
trouble,
then gets in
trouble and catches
the beating of her life for having forgotten what she got in
trouble for.)
mircea_popescu: "if
the victim perceives
they have
the luxury
to shut down memory,
they're evidently not petrified enough."
BingoBoingo: phf: At
this point it seems all
the Muricans want
to be "The Hunter S.
Thompson of" X
mircea_popescu: she'll remember it for
the entire rest of her life, long after she's forgotten
the face of her first husband.
trinque: not upon
the snake
to un-snake
trinque: but one can say
that it is upon
the student
to nut-up and stop being afraid in
the face of
the snake
phf: misguided dedication
to old world
tradition,
trying
to parrot french cafe culture, etc.
phf: BingoBoingo: i have no idea what
their endgame was, i
think
that
they had some old fashioned notion of bad student,
that
they were committed
to living out for as long
their livers last.
to be fair a "brilliant", but "misunderstood" alcoholic student is a european stereotype (it used
to be mocked, but
then
there's a handful of books, where
their genius is recognized
type deal). i
think u.s. philosophy majors carry alcoholism as a kind of
trinque: being afraid at useful
times, sure
diana_coman: myeah,
the what do you feel or even what do you
think is just a bone
to pick with current idiocy , nothing
to do with what I was saying
trinque: which runs contrary
to learning
trinque: diana_coman was commenting on
the biological fact
that being permanently afraid shuts down memory retention
mircea_popescu: "so mr elliot, do you
think it's fair
that bijective functions have
to also be continuos
to qualify ?"
diana_coman: mouse just gets eaten
though; snake can have lots of wisdom
to impart
to
those who are fascinated by it, but
those who go over into petrified are just its food
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 14:45 mircea_popescu:
this is because you also don't grasp
the concept of "learning" correctly.
there is no required participation of
the fucking subject in learning actual matter, such as philosophy. if i were
teaching
them cooking i'd be interested in
their own fucking contribution and whatever. but
the point of philosophy is
to shut
the fuck up and LEARN. what "the
text makes you
think" and what "you feel about X" is entirely uninteresting, bec
BingoBoingo: phf: Kinda why I switched
to Library School on a different campus.
That and
the "hold pattern for a decade and phd"
thing lost its appeal.
phf: BingoBoingo:
the whole group was like a walking stereotype. a
tall sickly looking polish guy with bowl haircut. an italian with unruly hair who was pretending
to be an upper-class englishman. i don't
think i've ever seen
them sober, i suspect
they were pretty dull otherwise
mircea_popescu: besides, if you were god wouldn't you make
them sald-shaped dicks ?
shinohai: If
this were so, Southern US would contain more salt
than
the mines of Siberia,
to hear evangelicals speak.
mircea_popescu: (the snake is, for merit,
the symbol of wisdom, by
the way. specifically
that in
the mice's reaction
to it,
they bring
to mind philosophy students in a half decent oxford class.)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in english, "petrified" denotes
the situation of
the mouse beset by snake, who can't move away ; not
the situation of sodomites
turned
to salt by a vengeful god.
mircea_popescu: they should
totally make an app which gives you "secret loot" when you butcher people.
BingoBoingo: OMG
Tragedy! Neckbeard kills endangered species!
