mircea_popescu: the only impact
they'll have on anything is if i decide
to use
their skulls
to remodel a wall.
then
they'll impact alright, and even
temporarily color
things.
mircea_popescu: imagine, some fucktards are going
to have "the greaters impact" on "self-sovereign identity"
shinohai: reboot = using 99 cent rattle can of paint
to change colour?
mircea_popescu: for any value of fine
that reduces
to "flail meaninglessly among
themselves"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for as long as
they have
the sense
to stay out of
the reach of
the fortress
that sunk
teh ether-dao,
they'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: can you imagine all
the dudebro biscuit eating going around in poorly lit, unventilated basements while chanting my name and pretending
the bit of plastic up
their butt is really my penis ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 14:30 shinohai: I DM'd Stephan
Tual on
twitter
to ask why he blocked me. Reply was
that "you write fabricated information on
The Dao and I believe you
to be in league with mircea_popescu".
mircea_popescu: isn't
this proof positive of DELIBERATE broken ssh key generation ? ie, context-dependent ?

the impalement is inescapable. i simply object
to
the notion of sparing
the hardware
they built - it is every bit as insidiously and infectiously idiotic as all of
their software creations.
thestringpuller: I also just realized Steem copied Qntra's model. Have BTC investors, pay for content creators
to create content.
thestringpuller: Anyone else notice a
trend
that altcoins with high BTC
trade volume
tend
to go accidental ponzi?
mircea_popescu: (i only bother with
the reference because it's a very convenient example of many
thousands extant
that "nobody knows about".)
thestringpuller: Slock.it adding more problems
to
the p2p market. I asked someone once, "What keeps people from just stealing your bike once
the slock is unlocked?" "Uh I dunno. We never got
that far."
mircea_popescu: i can't quote
the item for lacking a
title ; romanian copies are curated and collected by ioan ursu as "historia
turchesca 1300-1514), editura academiei romane, 1910 - where it's found at page 91 and urm.
shinohai: He's
the fatso from
the slock.it
team.
mircea_popescu: ombarde, et per otto giorni si fece pruovi di haverla, si ruppero due di quelle bombarde, et quelli ch'erano nella fortezza non volsero mai haver parlamento, et
tutti si difendevano con l'artegliarie et non si curavano di noi."
mircea_popescu: i fuora della
terra, il quale si
teneva, et era fornito, ma perche le vettovarie erano venute a manco, non si stette a perder
tempo, et ritornato il campo per un'altra via, venissemo ad un forte castello, posto in monte, nel quale si
trovava esser li prigioni del

mircea_popescu: Framedragger wordplay not present ; note
that
this is a work of fiction - for instance
the "killing of
the commander of artillery" actually happened during a siege by mahomed 2. apud giovanni maria angiolello, Venetian banker
to
the sultan : "Era il resto di Suzava con fossi et palanche circondata, le case et chiese erano di legname coperte di scandole, solamente un castello v'era fabricato di pietra et calcina, a coste, et d

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 17:49 asciilifeform: btw when i went down into
the snakepit with several dozen renowned 'cryptographers' earlier
this year, i asked a few folks about
this.
shinohai: Maybe
there could be a dapp for
that.
jurov: "Cyber Grand Challenge: a competition
that seeks
to create automatic defensive systems capable of reasoning about flaws, formulating patches and deploying
them on a network in real
time."
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 13:05 Framedragger: ...but yeah.
the last para is a kind of foreshadowing i imagine, skeleton of a giant and all. such a strong image, incl of what's
to come for
them...
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 11:31 mircea_popescu: i don't agree with his illuministic/humanitarian blaming of
the hardware, i believe we can't have computers until and unless impaling every single derp currently involved in computing in any capacity, but
this looks like a dispute for
the ages.

☟︎ Framedragger: so
the iablonovski fellow was
the same who had advised against
the siege, and who insisted on
the jagers' bravery and
terms of surrender afterwards
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re "Your name is enough cannon, Highness, said Pototki." << (just curious: is
the wordplay present in romanian,
too?)
Framedragger: (i mean, what with
translation and everything)
Framedragger: damn mircea_popescu, your wordspersec rate is good. (and i'm yet
to read
the siege story!)
shinohai: I fully expect every scamcoin I write about
to vaporize in an amazing flash of bright white light someday.
thestringpuller: Not enough BTC capital providing bid depth compared
to market cap. Feel bad for makeup girl who "earned $20k". Probably would have made more showing her
tits here.
shinohai: Always got

☟︎ mircea_popescu: especially his discussion of kqueue and
the hashtable/array duality + fd_getfile workings strictly indicates a) he's an idiot ; b)
that
http://trilema.com/2016/cargo-cults-a-case-study/ 's "This is what cargo cultism is, you see : memetic stupidity, inescapable for
the aculturated. Even if
they
try. Especially if
they
try." is exactly right and, sadly, c)
that alf is exactly correct : we can't have computers as a continuation
mircea_popescu: incidentally, weird
that
the capon population doesn't come up with
this, you know ?
there should be
The Office Slut, a magazine, depicting and discussing items of juvenile interest.
shinohai: Is
this what a board meeting of
tmsr would look like?
mircea_popescu: sorta like it's
the job of
the chick playing
the cleric
to go under
the
table once
the raid's done ?

they don't deliberately
tent
their fingers with evil glee (or alternatively, pet a sleeping cat from comfortable armchair) afore launching Plans
to Set
the Werld on Fire.
mircea_popescu: consider
the practical, smaller example of blog software. you ... can;t use it ; i can.
mircea_popescu: from
the other direction : while i wouldn't
throw away better machines if someone offered some - nobody does.
mircea_popescu: but altogether
the argument seems
to me something like "stick shift vehicle will always end in a crash".
mircea_popescu: not necessarily because i'm proposing "data" ie, "here's a meaningless, unstructured pile" or "gotta do your sorting in software because we're
too busy doing
three level caching and besides, not like sorting is a solved problem" are workable
technological choices.

the c-machine is an idiot foundation, which inevitably breeds
the pests we are familiar with.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 17:06 Framedragger: sure, open source culture is mostly a pile of crap, with little
to no reflection on
the culture *itself*, hard
to disagree with you here.
mircea_popescu: sorta like "revolution was contemplated before" ; "yes, but not in
the sense of beheading
the king ~AND REPLACING IT WITH NO OTHER KING!~"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 17:03 Framedragger: (well
to be
true, 'throw away openssl' has been seriously contemplated by any a folk recently, i would wager a guess. but perhaps much less so with
the latter, sure.)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "in a dumnezeirei carte e scris ca omul se desparte de
tot ce-i e mai drag pe lume, dar sfinta carte spune-anume ca despartirea nu-i pe vecie, ca revedere-o sa mai fie. nu-ti spun adio, la revedere! la revedere-n alte sfere!"
mircea_popescu ended up reading ancient gravestones from
that
translation, get a load of
this :
