mircea_popescu: esp as a kid, the first time you figure out you CAN fucking turn them. because at first you know, kids are cowardly, they kinda lose control at the crucial moment.
asciilifeform: such as for instance some of the folks here may have 'come to expect' ~not~ being deluged with crafted messages from third parties claiming to be from X
mircea_popescu: eve tried it too. worked just as badly.
mircea_popescu: worked just as badly.
asciilifeform: lose as in 'reveal publicly'
asciilifeform: i read phf's thing as simply 'you are counting on other side not to simply lose the plaintext, and not to shoot out both of your feet by sending an intended signed ciphrogram in the clear'
asciilifeform: wyrdmantis: nope, it is even deeper 'magic water voodoo. as was fashionable in 1960s.
asciilifeform: but for so long as there are folks who remember what the Real Deal looks like - idiot is left to bite own elbows with frustration.
asciilifeform: the hearnia strategy, 'we'll steal your thing and make idiot version and sell it to EVERYONE as the Real Thing' was tried, yes, with pgp.
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies << obligatory.
shinohai: well BingoBoingo it looks as if our friend covertress got some Bittrex suppositories today.
phf: the impossibility in this case is inverse relation to "knowing where you are", not to "ai". because making ai with limited sensors (like by say using same set of sensors as what you have) find you is a tricky problem
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 17:23 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand (and this is quite certainly not an expert view) most mmporg tried to use robotic 'npc' to fill this eco niche.
asciilifeform: historically successful partizan organizations assumed betrayal, blackmail, and torture, as facts of life, and routed around the damage on best-effort basis (e.g., cell compartmentalization.)
asciilifeform: there are also such things as 'canary', but they tend to 'cry wolf', like burglar alarms.
asciilifeform: the necessary level of discipline contains tools such as cyanide
asciilifeform: works just same as in 1542, or 42.
asciilifeform: there is , today as in 1942, the coke machine.
asciilifeform: phf: the thing is necessarily as strong as the weaker party, yes
asciilifeform: sold in same places as spools of wire, solder, etc.
asciilifeform: well yes, deliberately picked it as example of humbly-clever opponent
asciilifeform: if anyone knew how to make 'npc rat' as clever as actual meat rat, games with robo-npc would be considerably more interesting !
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand (and this is quite certainly not an expert view) most mmporg tried to use robotic 'npc' to fill this eco niche. ☟︎
asciilifeform: just as in life.
asciilifeform: count me as naive, but i gotta ask
shinohai: Same as owning slaves in real life.
asciilifeform: abrr: are you here as part of mircea_popescu's 'pay for tits' program ?
phf: as my unix teacher used to say "i had this idea, i read it in ..."
asciilifeform: (iirc it featured 5 or 6 'reasons' for ending up as one)
mircea_popescu: also, in its dubious definition as scrawled by hands evidently more fit and more used to farm work, "invcel" seems to rather resemble "invpoor", as for instance in africa, or its colonies in the us.
mircea_popescu: some live as long as to reach 40.
asciilifeform: the rodgers, having been taught rudimentary literacy, left sufficient record to establish themselves as a meaningful equivalence class
mircea_popescu: they're just not as visible.
diana_coman: as I said: "could have been done" has nothing to do with putting away the pistol/guns and all to do with finding the right place for the guy, be that 10m in the ground, "jar" or whatever else
a111: Logged on 2015-09-19 02:42 asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278941 << this is the EXACT same basic thing as debeaking (ask a poultry farmer)
asciilifeform: when a postalist buys his kalash and begins to happily whistle as he cleans it every morning and thinks of how he will cull the diseases mass, he need not be consciously aware of why, but his behaviour is as healthy and necessary, civilizationally, as a nursing mother's.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: from the article, it does not appear that the man picked up pistol and fired as a nonvolitional act of hindbrain
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I meant it as broken human, not broken american
asciilifeform: so long as there isn't froth and spittle, they'll take ya./
asciilifeform: a postalist is as healthy, a necessary, thing, as a t-cell.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, it's just a shorted clock bus. chip looks exactly like any other, everywhere, except it won't even remotely boot.
mircea_popescu: it's just that his extremely rare make-up (as it's rare for kids this dysfunctional to survive the cunt's regexpes) allows us to examine THAT culture in an exotic light
diana_coman: you mean you think that's a biological impossibility for some reason? as otherwise it's still basically a broken culture thing at most and so what asciilifeform said, but not exactly "nothing anyone did or didn't do"
mircea_popescu: (for this discussion we distinguish between "homosexual = man incapable of forming deep connections with women" and everything else ; fucking men is not even contemplated for criteria as such.)
mircea_popescu: notice that his attachment to boys as described reads cvasi as it is.
mircea_popescu: and they see it as cardinal sin to attempt to fix. ESPECIALLY if it seems to work.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman : ask anyone who grew up as usaschwitz inmate. the culture is broken in ways that make dr mengele look like a harmless eccentric. they see it as a VIRTUE to keep broken people, esp. children, alive.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-10 13:15 mircea_popescu: their issue is with the WILL. car deaths are "accidents". that's ok. just as long as nobody gets what they WANT libertard is happy.
diana_coman: is that elliot rodger guy still alive (well, as much as he ever was) - might be about time to get him to join eulora; it has COOL cookies
t2yax: i will save that as text file
deedbot: A28D33C4DDC87533BA1A9EE53DDAB37948261874 registered as t2yax.
thestringpuller: seeding eulora with da n00bs is an interesting process as it requires WoT registration
mircea_popescu: anyway, do publish, your blog gets too little material as it is.
trinque: girl with me thought it was as innocent as that.
asciilifeform: 'As an open source project, the Yocto Project operates with a hierarchical governance structure based on meritocracy and managed by its chief architect, Richard Purdie, a Linux Foundation fellow. This enables the project to remain independent of any one of its member organizations, who participate in various ways and provide resources to the project.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phuctor is as it is so that i could do this, since day1
mircea_popescu: from experience as well as harem consensus, the data in question is obtained EXACTLY in the manner of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-24#1528139 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it sure as fuck impacts.
mircea_popescu: well, in the literal sense, it's a mafia term denoting this dude who operates independently. but in the figurative sense here used, the idea is that you compare incidence as of the biological phenomenon with incidence as invidivuals-who-are-short-and-also-have-x.
asciilifeform: (probably intended as road safety thing but fascinating to kid)
boolcrap: it didnt squeal but it popped open as soon as i stabbed it
boolcrap: well, windows still uses fs and gs as general purpose registers
pete_dushenski: well, you exist as well. i could visit you too. ben, bingo, shin, mod idem. all of which would be a few hours travel, not a whole day each way.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu really exists, and lives approximately where he is said to live, and really is this tall skinny fella, as pictured in, e.g., my www.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: y'know, you could just drop by & visit him, as iirc ben_vulpes did
asciilifeform: i saw grown men dressed as that thing, in bmore
asciilifeform: hey i had this as pc game!111
diana_coman: apparently as a result of trips from the countryside with the pig carcass
asciilifeform: as per mircea_popescu's old piece 'a deal can be anything' --
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually it was a very good coat. tough as nails.
asciilifeform: what do you do with a signature that took place after a revocation time, that you have ALREADY accepted as valid for some purpose ?
asciilifeform: revocation is a ~promise~, in that there is not such a thing, and never will be such a thing, as a magical lever that instantly makes a key stop working. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (though i suppose it could ~store~ the key-rated-key item as easily as anything else could)
asciilifeform: trinque: well it wouldn't make any sense as a deedbot component
znort987: asciilifeform: yeah, I had that conversation in the other universe. I actually had assumed - given who hangs here - that wot was just gpg keys giving rating to gpg keys and that as long as signed ratings were broadcast far and wide, there was no need for central server. but then I was wrong and discovered the 3-headed snake. I think I'm more or less up to date now.
BingoBoingo: For that we need to go back to the Egyptian Scientists and that time Big headed Yakub invented white folk as the perfect slave race.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-22 15:26 asciilifeform: is being 'helped' by kako as we speak, likely.
znort987: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-22#1526766 << for the record, not 'as we speak'. kako was helpful during the hand-over in May/Early June. rating was also given to exercise my understanding of the wot. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ah, yeah, ankle hook was permitted. if you count that as wrestling.
mircea_popescu: phf by and large the deep driver being that girls at that age suck, being as they are ~marmots. babyfat bubbles on uneasy legs.
mircea_popescu: the ~reason we monetized these was because a) we'd snowball the girls into little piles as soon as the snow came and b) we'd wrestle hundreds of times a day.
asciilifeform: in one of the american schools i went to as a kid, they had 'magic the gathering'
asciilifeform: i see 'coloured coin' as a fundamentally distinct type of chumpatron, 'let's monetize blue Turbo chewing gum wrappers!1111' 'and oh btw i totally don't have a shoebox full of blue'
asciilifeform: i personally played with massive shoebox of rubles as a boy, and buncha other folk here also.
mircea_popescu: heck, we might even implement sidechains of whatever fashionable flavour of the month, as a bold-on, if anyone's bored enough.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'segwit' thing is, as i understand, intended as a protocol hardfork - to isolate trb users.
asciilifeform: this is not only angled as 'we'll sell i-cant-believe-its-not-bitcoin to rubes', but also piggybacks on honest nodes' storage and bandwidth.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: earlier observation is just that - observation. that turdmeisters apparently wish to live as cockroaches in the crevices of bitcoin, instead of issuing 'honest' plainly labeled usg alt.
asciilifeform: there will (and perhaps already are) a multitude of chumpers who believe they have X btc, while really they have some quantity Q, possible 0, of actual btc, and X-Q of gavinola, which consists of tx, somehow elaborately processed, that trb rejects as noise, and display as wtf 'shot into the sun' crapolade in any civilized block viewer
mircea_popescu: just as much as i cared about the 2012 variant.
asciilifeform: rejecting thousands of turds per hours as it is.
asciilifeform: 'BLATSTING's implementers are a big fan of mmap. It seems to be used for all file access, not just for manipulating kernel memory through `/dev/mem`. Is it done this way to reduce the number of system calls, to be less conspicious, as well as not reveal what exactly is accessed when running in `strace`? Or maybe a later stage of the rootkit blocks certain kinds of syscalls on certain "hidden" files.'
mircea_popescu got his hands fulla retard as it is.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand, 'these situations' can only exist for so long as somebody relays tx-with-ancestors-only-in-mempool.
asciilifeform: 'parent for child' gives usg a new place to spend the waterfall - as subsidies for 'expediting' Officially Blessed tx.
asciilifeform: this piece was put in as attempt to disincentivize connection to trb nodes.
mircea_popescu: basically prb is trying to act as a sort of bitcoin mining code repository ; some of the miners contribute some of the less critical code and well... github.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, PeterL was pointing out that trb does not relay the ingredients desired in this kitchen.
mircea_popescu: PeterL what's contemplated here is a) miner's internal kitchen, which he's allowed to do on the grounds of having paid for the gear ; b) not substantially different, you can just regard the two txn as one, provided you know about both.
asciilifeform: as per the 'NEVER something-for-nothing-to-allcomers' principle.
