Framedragger: (..ssd would probably speed
things up, just
to reiterate..)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ahh, ok. much
thanks for elucidation
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 18:59 mircea_popescu: how long should it
take ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 19:24 asciilifeform: incidentally it is
the khadeer & co. modulus.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: obtw, did
the breaking of
that khadeer modulus come from you implementing
the "check (NextPrime(2^1023))^2" heuristic? 'cause
that's bound
to yield some new results!
PeterL: my old key was 1024, I
think
PeterL: what was
the biggest it did so far?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:50 asciilifeform: Framedragger: phuctor has very little
to do with curing particular lepers.
mircea_popescu: “The stuff
they have
there is super-duper interesting, but it is by far not
the most interesting stuff in
the
tool set,” he said. “If you had
the rest of it, you’d be leading off with
that, because you’d be commanding a much higher rate.” << yeah... and
then... SELL ADVERTISING.
mircea_popescu: The auction “is a joke,” Weaver said. “It’s designed
to distract. It’s
total nonsense.” He said
that “bitcoin is so
traceable
that a Doctor Evil scheme of laundering $1 million, let alone $500 million, is frankly lunacy.”
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty lulzy how butthurt
they are at
the fact bitcoin raped
them,
though.
mircea_popescu: funny shit where
the files usg stole from sr are supposedly being sold for x unless
they were actually stolen first by freelancing agents etc ; whereas
the files ? stole from usg are being sold for 100x.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol, what, you mean
they moved from py ?
to what, ada ?
mircea_popescu: "i'm gonna rape you" "i dun believe" *rapes her* "tee hee, my filling is stil lattached
to
this cavity"
mircea_popescu: these you somehow
transform into i have nfi what, but
the fact remains : whether
the cock went
through
the cervix into
the uter or not,
mircea_popescu: a)
there is no dispute from you
that
this was actually
their shit ; b) apparently so much is available some of actually
their shit can be freely distributed, in gb sized portions.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 19:59 mircea_popescu: but it's certainly quite deep.
the vermin doesn't merely aim
to a comfortable existence, but more importantly
to a memory-less situation.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:21 mircea_popescu: not
that it's a novel, or worthy idea.
mircea_popescu: nobody in
the
time of voltaire had retina burns from laser watching.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:13 phf: Framedragger: i was young and a bum, i recognized all
these people because my entertainment machine would reinforce
their presence for me. "oh jwz is
talking. oh now it's ptacek. oh it's paul graham! squee". but
they were always in a different category from say norvig or knuth or naggum. once i started doing and learning (i.e. painfully read knuth, rather
than just have him on my shelf) i finally was able
to grok
the difference.
mircea_popescu: this point is valid,
the only problem is
that it mostly discusses
THE STATE. yes, every fiat entity has
the incentive
to eventually pivot ; and
they all do.
the derps are currently insulated from
this by
the momentary happenstance
that
the
thieves are in a compact, called "the state", and everyone left outside is well... not someone you'll hear about. because exactly of

☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:12 mircea_popescu:
this is ~half of
the usg "national security" plan, except
they suck at both modelling and implementation.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523293 << by
the way, i don't
think
the implication of
that discussion can't possibly be understated. for instance, it is a common etatist criticism of "what
they call bitcoin" so really,
tmsr,
that "everyone running a business has an incentive
to eventually run so eventually will" sort of
thing.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:33 phf: but when i made it
to
the first startup school, my reaction was "nerds
trying
to be businessmen, stick
to doing nerd
things". it
took me many years
to understand how
their fundamental views made
them not only suck at life, but also fucked up
the computing.
mircea_popescu: actually,
this guy died sovereign, over a rather enlarged moldavia (took mostly from poles, lithuanians etc). he left
testamentarily
that "listen
to your old shepherd, deal with
the
turks ; unlike
the russians,
the
turks keep
their word"
phf: proper voievod like, knows when
to bleed and when
to shit his pants
mircea_popescu: next year, my lord,
the
turks are coming ? "a lot ?" well... suleiman himself, 1mn infantry, more horse
than previously known
to exist in
the world, etc
mircea_popescu: so
they go, beat
the
turks back over danube,
take
trophies, build monastery, rape
the nuns etc.
mircea_popescu: but why
the red ones majesty ? well... if i get hurt,
the
troops won't see
the blood and won't lose heart.
mircea_popescu: so joke is, vornic comes
to stephen, my lord,
the
turks are coming. "a lot ?" well...
there's
the vidin pasha with maybe 100k jannisary + etc
mircea_popescu: this guy, legendary ro leader, fought something like 50 encounters with
the
turks, won over 90%. including you know, crazy shit with 1.x mn men on opposing side.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:43 phf: mircea_popescu: in orcland, we have game, we put colored pants on people, and let
them be our heroes.
their pants distinguish
their status in hierarchy
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:23 Framedragger: (also, ha, just saw
the star wars parallel)

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:31 mircea_popescu: i perceive
the following problem : in my (rightful) bashing of idiocies (allinged around "colored coins", "dao" etc,
that jazz) i distinctly hear
the crushed hopes of people who look at
those as a refuge from something else, specifically. i suspect it's hwqat you call "anarchists"
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523161 << you know,
that's an apt characterization, and i
think you're right re
that second group of wanna-be anarchists;
true, probably. and i am aware
that
tmsr regards bitcoin *quite* differently indeed, which manifests in
the block size discussion etc. yeah.
☝︎ phf: fractional snr, and only because
there's a few paragraphs about how
they used clisp at yahoo stores)
phf: i don't really
think his message changed, it's just
that he started
talking about different
things.
there's
the lisper period and
then
the hackernew/yc/startupschool period. i knew of him, because of
the excellent On Lisp book, so i read hackers and painters when it came out, and read
that dabblers and blowhards article when it came out, possibly because i
thought
that hackers and painters was awful (the book literally has low
Framedragger: (i may be mistaken about
the actual number of years)
Framedragger: so it makes sense for someone who got acquainted with him earlier
to regard him more highly
Framedragger: and he wrote
that book, quite earlier
than
that
Framedragger: before, he would
try
to keep his focus on lisp
Framedragger: phf: probably ~7 years ago, give or
take; i predict what you're going
to say: in 2009, he was already spewing
too much nonsense
mircea_popescu: which is how people end up with
the notion of butchering most of
the extant walkers.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just
to me, any dreams of "global anarchist revolt" *are* lost on me (i'm
terribly naive but not *that* naive). personal responsibility and individualism (vague word, i know) are necessary conditions. and.. yeah, i don't have much hope for humanity, given
that...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gets lulziest when
they encounter people who do not want
to exchange
their life for a fetish, and
then explode into "putin doesn't understand how
the world works!!1"
mircea_popescu: ironically, people in
the contemporary, anglo sense of
that
term WANT
to be
these empty identities. no idea why or how; but imo much more serious a
threat
to anarchism
than any kind of authority.
mircea_popescu: more like, a good chunk of what
this stable of uselessness
tries
to argue its usefulness from, is
their utter failure
to do anything about
things like phuctor, misrepresented.
