asciilifeform: ' If they don’t want to see their country overrun by illegal migrants (note that having had you country destroyed by NATO does not qualify you for political asylum) then they are called racist and bigoted. If they fail to grasp some of the finer points of EU’s bureaucratic governance (because, frankly, who would want to waste time on all that nonsense?) then they are called ignorant and misguided. And, most importantly, if there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd be curious to see where all the rng-less home routers etc. went

a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 10:05 Framedragger: asciilifeform: but have you considered that there are fewer implementations for ssh (and the better part of the ssh servers in the wild run openssh), and more implementations for all kinds of broken pgp? so it may simply be less likely to spot a badly generated ssh key.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492015 << i wonder if this is true, even. ☝︎
thestringpuller: shinohai: Them is fighting words...
thestringpuller: mats: nah. if it's truly believed miners are well enough gripped by the balls, it's not a big deal.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 10:01 Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. keys - interesting. i don't think i was mitm'd, 13 machines and all, not that it's not possible or anything, and the machines were on the same provider, so, lol, of course possible in principle. but specific mitm's which give working unique keys? hm. but, interesting, i don't have an answer here.
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes dingledine & other sleepers (reilly, whatever) push for chasteen and whoever the fuck else to "be hired", because that's how their job goes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no patience to read, but by now, "at MIT" is damning. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nuts, teh "technology" an' its effects on the herd.
mircea_popescu: so apparently reddit has selected for this large-ish population of chicks that want to post selfies "anonymously". because they're THAt desperate for male attention and THAT incapable of handling male presence. ☟︎☟︎
mats: as i understand it, the heterogeneity of clients in the wild naturally prefers the status quo ☟︎
mats: anyway, i think its premature to assume we need to influence miners one way or the other
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/45c39efb-967b-4c3b-9c6a-b9d2dff8afeb/?raw=true (re the tor thing)
shinohai: We got a Roger Ver in the making here!
mats: so you've moved the goalpost from 'our pool' to 'bribe miners'
thestringpuller: mats: well from a financial perspective, not a political perspective. at the very least bribe miners to vote one way or the other... ☟︎☟︎
thestringpuller: if it's possible to mine and validate against TRB...
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 11:31 thestringpuller: https://forum.bitcoin.com/pools/a-bitcoin-com-mining-pool-t8999.html << why did our pool never get off the ground? ☟︎
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492019 <<< bwahahaha A Riger Verified pool that will cause bigger blocks to be mined since he can't get anyone to do it xD ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 03:47 phf: i have that cockli box by the way. i'm probably going to spin up an instance on it, but if anybody wants to attempt that task, feel free to take over
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1491796 <<< If this is actual need phf I would have no problem at all maintaining. ☝︎
Framedragger: or labour union websites but that may just cause a stroke and best to avoid stress induced fatalities
Framedragger: and maybe make sure some of those ip addresses are in /24's which also house chinese bitcoin miners ;)
jurov: Framedragger, imo we should mix few interesting failures into the data. otherwise we risk getting kicked out from tmsr :D ☟︎
jurov: lol i was then prolly mitm'd too.. aside from ~10 cases of obvious corruption (openssh won't even read them) i did not find any key with factor in 10000primes.txt

a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 17:15 asciilifeform: the historic ~0.1% popping rate of ssh keys has nothing to do with flips, and everything to do with embedded gadgets with no rng
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-27#1491238 << i too expected gadgets with shitty rng. any source for that 0.1% figure? ☝︎
Framedragger: asciilifeform: maybe i did fuck up in some very unique way. don't know. oh and the ip addresses are in random order, so there's that
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 00:28 mircea_popescu: Framedragger is this one of those guys you're friends with, then ?
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1491732 << which nickname was that? :) nvm i guess ☝︎
Framedragger: i'm prolly mostly afk / travelling this week but would be interested to discuss.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. keys - interesting. i don't think i was mitm'd, 13 machines and all, not that it's not possible or anything, and the machines were on the same provider, so, lol, of course possible in principle. but specific mitm's which give working unique keys? hm. but, interesting, i don't have an answer here. ☟︎
asciilifeform: he had the next step ready-made.
asciilifeform: not like this.
mircea_popescu: then again it's rather common for people to do something smart early and then be shockingly stolidly dumb for the rest of their lives.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-26 03:11 asciilifeform: there are two versions of the lenat story
a111: Logged on 2014-02-01 21:28 asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts that lenat did not write eurisko.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-01#473009 << prev thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: (one - not very sexy answer - is that it was a fraud. source was published nowhere, nor anyone other than lenat exposed to it afaik)
asciilifeform: in which possibly lie the answers to 1,001 riddles elsewhere.
asciilifeform: why lenat dropped eurisko and burned the rest of his life on idiocy is the $64k question
mircea_popescu: phf anyway, it's a very reasonable way to waste one's life. it can live on a server(s), connect via chatbot, solicit payment which'll work once trinque gets it added to deedbot... it's an actual biznis.
asciilifeform: some of the material appeared elsewhere, but not - afaik - the juicy bits re 'rll'
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: Again, thanks. Too few people care about that.. :(
mircea_popescu: lol the greatness of machinery.
mircea_popescu: all the weird shit you care about...
asciilifeform: doubly so given how yudkowsky campaigns to have anyone trying this, killed
mircea_popescu: yeah, agreed, unlike cyc bs, that is a credible starting point
asciilifeform: it was then mirrored by kako and for all i know is still up.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-26 01:04 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try: http://loper-os.org/pub/lenat-leaks.tar.gz.torrent
asciilifeform: some pretty interesting material in there, actually.
mircea_popescu: i recall this.
asciilifeform: (who wants to read ? we had whole thread, where i FOIA'd everything lenat ever publicly did on taxpayer dollars, and posted here)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how does this happen to people!
mircea_popescu: apparently only some people outgrow being 9, and lenat isn't one of them.
mircea_popescu: distinctly reminescent of 9yo me writing "utility programs" consisting of pre-selected arbitrary aditions and their results.
mircea_popescu: machine does its own thing
mircea_popescu: you do not. and more improtantly : you need no human anything in there. you wanna succeed in your own terms, go, succeed.
mircea_popescu: seriously, they're going to put the rules in by hand arbitrarily and expect the machine to do something with that ?
mircea_popescu: (#$implies (#$and (#$isa ?OBJ ?SUBSET) (#$genls ?SUBSET ?SUPERSET)) (#$isa ?OBJ ?SUPERSET)) << wouldja look at this inept shit.
asciilifeform: (we don't remember the names of the dead in the water folk)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it largely did work, out of thousands of tries a few successes. machine has space for many thousands.
mircea_popescu: this is a tenuous view, historically.
mircea_popescu: "Dead reckoning dun work without gps". see, this is why cyc fails. this mindset.
mircea_popescu: the machine played dead reckoning not some sort of absolute evaluation of the eternal positions
asciilifeform: bridging the gap is where the monte carlo thing came in.
asciilifeform: yes there is ~no position function when there are 3 stones on the board.
asciilifeform: taking for a moment the assumption that sedol ~actually~ lost --
mircea_popescu: sedol lost to a machine that doesn't even know what beans are.
asciilifeform: now we know that mircea_popescu doesn't need warez - his hdd has a knob that turns whole thing into an adder, and he simply cycles through the states until he gets a disk with the desired 1333333337 w4r3z on it.
asciilifeform: i'll sleep a bit while mircea_popescu sets the trillion parameters
mircea_popescu: phf and the third is that it absolutely should not make any concession to the finite nature of the universe. three billion trillion parameters ? OK!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how's it to test a b00k containing a SINGLE instance of the canonical 'my sister, do you still recall как Ельцин бился мордой в пол ?'
mircea_popescu: now 2 and 3 are iffy, for instance english-chemistry vs english-genre-fiction and english-trilema may be a more practical split than english vs french.
mircea_popescu: the other is, that it should keep context of "this text" ; separately context of "everything i ever saw in this language" and yet separately "everything i ever saw".
mircea_popescu: phf there's two (or perhaps three) aspects here. one is, that it should first pass through the entire item (book or w/e), to adjust itself, and then go once more through it, on the basis of that, and then again. similar to how "page rank" works, once the result is stable it thinks it's done.
asciilifeform: imho cyc is what the schmuck blew rest of his life on after 'eurisko' was confiscated for national seeek00000rity
phf: i like the idea of using hidden markov models on ocr-ed text
mircea_popescu: ftr, i wouldn't take cyc for anything other than a fine guide of what not to do.
asciilifeform: 'here's a REALLY BIG HAMMER. now go whack that mountain until a city comes out'
mircea_popescu: use the fact that the machine as is, runnign whatever crap it runs, can still do millions of cycles a second, and can store billions and trillions of bytes.
phf: i believe that was described in the "Sussman attains enlightenment"
asciilifeform: but none of these worked worth a tinker's damn and not a single chesstron written by actual chess players ever won a serious tourney
asciilifeform: incidentally it is interesting to recall that at one point ai game player folks were interested in heuristic generators and the like - mechanisms that were ~applicable across domains~
mircea_popescu: anyway - this is a correct wiki. a proper notation engine backed by a self-training, probabilistic model of language.
asciilifeform: but it is waste of time to attempt it prior to having one
asciilifeform: granted this is why i even wanted computer
mircea_popescu: that we don't have this in a box is simply because nobody wants to do any work.
mircea_popescu: THIS is what competent (not great. competent, patient, insistent) programmers + 20nm process means. that we can have this in a box.
asciilifeform: how do you intent to apply a statistical model to an element which NEVER recurrs ??
mircea_popescu: i was stuck publishing a pdf in my latest article because fuck me there's no sane ocr ;/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. "all text it's ever seen"
asciilifeform: .. all text ??
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1 error per 500 pages or less. how's that.
asciilifeform: (would love to be proven wrong)
mircea_popescu: there doesn't exist currently any ocr package that uses a proper statistical model, and is self-trained on the text, and on all text.
