caaddr: I don't know if anybody is actually using PGP, now you mention it. outside of the serene republic
mircea_popescu: i don't expect anyone gives a shiot abput the gimmick.
mod6: I don't have the incantation in front of me at the moment... but if you would like it, I can dig it up for you tomorrow.
phf: did you get the source directly from mp, or did i republish it? i remember being asked for the source and putting it up at some point, but i don't remember by whom and too lazy to log in this case
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 23:19 phf: asciilifeform: i also made a patch, but sounds like you don't need it anymore http://107.170.141.103/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wp-comments.diff
mircea_popescu: hm, i don't recall that diff file hanbot
shinohai: I was unsure hanbot, I don't recall if I ever asked mp about it, or why it was included in the copy I got originally.
hanbot: 10k marked spam comments means spammy ips are stored and attempted comments from same don't show up in admin, subjectively over time it's seemed i need to spend less time mopping shitcomments. and i didn't post proper patches, but will.
mircea_popescu: and i don't even mean ~subjective~ functions here! it's not a case that "to the exceptionally gifted as identified by ivy league, worth as he is maybe $1000 with clothes included, the subjectively perceived marginal value of information is slightly negative. no, no, no, OBJECTIVE, you can tell him whatever the fuck you will and he will not have any use for it -- i don't mean "he won't be able to find any use, above his $1k pa
phf: i don't grok the first homework: do you mean produce random computations, and programmatically verify ffa against them?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 17:12 mircea_popescu: i have a coupla problems in re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-20#1773273 that design input is welcome on. 1. the intuitively correct format for this would be to make it a page (like http://trilema.com/eulora-shop/ ) rather than an article. but mp-wp pages don't take comments/pingbacks, which im starting to think is the height of idiocy.

mircea_popescu: wtf is the remote box even for, if not to do the shit i don't need supervised.

spyked: calls should go only to WP links though, right? I don't remember how Wordpress did it (did it look for /xmlrpc.php ?). though I suppose it should work either way (non-WP links would 404 and that's that)
spyked: but yeah, ^ w3m code is weird. and besides, I don't know how text highlighting is supposed to work in a text-based browser. highlighting seems to be a terminal thing, which is weird, because both w3m and lynx/links can be compiled with mouse support! which is essential for that js snippet in trilema, because iirc it relies on onMouse* events.
spyked: hm. "This exists because sourceforge went down for a week during July 2015, making it necessary to maintain local copies."; yeah, publishing these makes a lot of sense. I don't know if I'd find all the libraries I used for the blog if I were to look for them again.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
mircea_popescu: what is it, i don't get it. yes, but that's evidently not the interesting part nor can it. hence the original, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772909 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't get it ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1771985 << i don't understand where the extra mass comes from iyo. in the trinque solution, one extra file'd have been gaining a total of count-patches lines. ook ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how about this "mechanical borrowing" system you proposes ACTUALLY weakens responsibility, because the 15, instead of taking seriously their true deed, which IS in fact authorship-indistinguishable, rather aim to hide behind a claim of "hey, we merely work here, signing signatures" a sort of "well i really wanted to X and the only part Y available was Koch's so don't blame me"
asciilifeform: at the same time i dun think that i actually disagree with mircea_popescu re the granularity. we don't have the tech to make granularity 'at procedure level' work.
phf: never mind then! i gotta figure out how to do the whole "file moved part" anyway, and i don't need a hashing function yet. i'm using a sha512 implementation from busybox
BingoBoingo: I don't recall if I did, will check and publish if not
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1771642 << i don't see a problem with it necessarily, but it's not clear what may hide under rock #2. try and see i guess ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: some people spent $10k's on their collections of bolixiana. and imagine that these will become worthless if an accurate fpgalogical emulator appears. and for all i know , this is true. i simply don't care.
asciilifeform: i don't have a good counter-argument to this.
asciilifeform: i don't see any reason why the thing should ~rely~ on adatronicn bounds checks for correctness.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: well yes, i get it. but i DON'T LIKE it.
apeloyee: I think everything up to ch.5 is safe as long as arguments are either equal or don't overlap
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine it'll long last, either, so enjoy it while you have it i guess.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771302 << i am quite persuaded by this view. what they disliked in bush maps exactly on what we dislike in obama and his herd of subhuman brown orcs ; and more generally what they disliked of hitler (incidentally -- also what they ended up copying of hitler) very much exactly maps on the whole substance of what we don't like in pantsuit. ☝︎
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't mean the tiny little munchkins, but the goofy grin jetpack guy
shinohai: I don't trust them, they need stickers on top.
mircea_popescu: eh, i don't like the steppes. too... much space.
mircea_popescu can't believe just how utterly shitty his 2015 spec is. anyone read that thing recently ? please don't, i'm ashamed.
mircea_popescu: in the first place, what fucking browser, they're multiple, and closed turd vendor crap pushed by utter pantsuit like mozilla, a sort of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770138 samovar. in the second place, the interface is TERRIBLE, and i don't just mean "what javascript" but also "what ssl, what pki, what dns, what the fuck". and then "what html soup, why did it crash, holy hell why does it leak secret data" and on and ON ☝︎
asciilifeform: what i don't understand is why apeloyee has a problem with 'SP ALWAYS POINTS TO A VALID CELL, MOTHERFUCKERS' rule.
mircea_popescu: non-interpretative nikki hailey is kinda like "i don't think i am entitled to an oppinion on when i get fucked" feminist.
knubie: Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?” The programmer said, “Look, I'm a programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend -- but a talking frog, now that's cool.”
a111: Logged on 2016-01-02 14:04 mircea_popescu: i don't do private chats with people i don't know. you want to talk about something, this is the venue.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "definition of girlfriend", anyone recall that great line in http://trilema.com/2016/gangs-of-new-york/ "have i had you ? they don't use my christian name!"
mircea_popescu: i don't have the original here to check against it so it's not a certainty, but it doesn't seem to have been.
phf: fwiw i don't think he even made it to the end of the "crypto suffers from..." list
asciilifeform: (i.e. you don't need a universal shift register, can make 'constant' value using a just-in-time-cooked bitstream loaded in for that particular occasion)
shinohai: I don't expect drastically different results than from first pass, but never hurts to poke these things with a stick some.
mircea_popescu: just putting it in teh plain that it works exactly opposite from most items, where it's rather "do it right so i don't have to have it redone"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768658 << i don[' get it, can't afford a directory ? or expect the directory be provided ? or what is the actual issue here ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i sitll don't know what the objection here is.
phf: "hey man i just drive this tank, i don't know what makes it work" ok then.
phf: i don't know if you've spent any significant amount of time with it, but i literally got tricked into installing xemacs first (cause x means it's gui yes?? 97 me)
mircea_popescu: cuz i don't insta-v my otps. cuz why would i.
shinohai: I don't go much anymore
mircea_popescu: hanbot on meditation, i think it belongs into discreet. i think the idea is very sensitive to idiots "helping", you really don't want rando "contributing"
mircea_popescu: mats i don't expect isis is more islamic than "fuck the us".
mircea_popescu: in short, i don't want to read what sort of code apple wrote ; i want apple to never write any code again as long as any of them live.
mircea_popescu: costs them more to run it than it makes them, but, by all means, please, more of the wahwahwah special cuntlet behaviour, i don't mind.
ben_vulpes: i don't see how this isn't a won except in the minds of the feds
a111: Logged on 2018-01-08 16:46 hanbot: oh hey, i don't think there's any other jersey talent here atm, i guess you get to be de-facto miss shores. i'm in costa rica, banana area
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-08#1766977 << i don't see the problem with using the actual spec. koch "optimizations" not really useful. ☝︎
hanbot: oh hey, i don't think there's any other jersey talent here atm, i guess you get to be de-facto miss shores. i'm in costa rica, banana area ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't have to have the people who want to use unicode to agree to anything in particular ahead of time, and if tomorrow they decide to call it fuck-bush instead, they can and nothing gets broken
a111: Logged on 2015-12-09 11:38 mircea_popescu: http://dreamsongs.com/ <<< how to be retarded. today, richard "i don't have a name and i was born without a face, here's some salmon background" gabriel.
mircea_popescu: but note that i don't give anyone the address to said bookshop if they seem confused as to who they're talking to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see how the linked item supports the theory.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall a handshake of this sort. but many years.
mircea_popescu: if i don't get the topstruct and if i can't throw out any up to n-1 elements out of n on my own time, it's broken.
mircea_popescu: "really, i don't use it either, but i like to talk about it"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but i don't use it.
mircea_popescu: and no, i don't use https ; and no, not gzipped. and so on.
mircea_popescu: I DO NOT WANT the images to be part of the samestream ; or ANYTHING ELSE. half the time i don't even download the images.
esthlos: I suppose I don't know, then, what i'm misisng. but certainly I couldnt cogently argue why x86 sucks besides 'von neumann lol'
asciilifeform: this is entirely separate problem from 'i don't know how a 6502 worked'
esthlos: if you don't have any leads i'll mess around i suppose
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't remember that it can be. gotta to the hard way unbase64 etc
shinohai: I have seen him on twitter before I left, don't know him exactly though.
PeterL: and I don't see it as cut-and paste, you would just be changing the one line in the patch to merge it into your own flow?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 04:31 mircea_popescu: but yes, there is no other kind of code besides monolith ; i've had enough "bazaar" for three lifetimes of other people i don't particularly like ; and moreover code ambiguity is fucking nuts.

mircea_popescu: this is very much the problem of thinking man, "i know what i like i just don't know what it is" ie http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765170 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: for instance -- i did not observe then that "tab" makes 0 sense, entirely vt100.item to borrow your reference, and will not be maintained. CONTRARY to what i thought at the time, i don't like tabs, i like the thing tabs emulate, which is lisp autoindent
mircea_popescu: absolute ban on english as an avenue to this much in the same way absolute ban to barking as an avenue to opera. i don't care if you're a dog and i don't care if barking comes naturally to you
ben_vulpes: nah, dun expect such of me; i draft plans for field construction of catapaults i don't invent them
asciilifeform: i don't want to see it. ever. if i'm seeing it, vtron is broken !
mod6: and i don't think people want 1Mb of shit dumped to stdout
trinque: I don't think there's ever a case where , yeap
trinque: asciilifeform: I don't need extra reasons to hate the useless
ben_vulpes: mod6: make a disposable tempdir like stans original and my port. i don't know whence this 'agree', stan's original was clear enough.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah i don't
mod6: i don't have a chance right this moment to do that, will look tho when i can
ben_vulpes: mod6: i don't actually recall any agreement on the topic, you did yours one way and i another, and i cannot recall how asciilifeform's original handled this
diana_coman: ah, should have been precise there: they don't make a difference for me at this stage; I can stick to 80 just as I can stick to 76 really
mircea_popescu: i don't want the 1/4 bit of parity
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 19:23 ben_vulpes: > i haven't tried this test yet << and you don't know that it only works on the feeble minded, literally anyone else is going to see exactly what you're doing and give the canned response that you want: "the patriarchy keeps women down and what is really called for is demoting and docking mens wages, and promoting science education for little girls, and generally eradicating the constructed gender binary so
mircea_popescu: the epicycles, before removal, a) had a history whcih b) was understood by the removers. the "alien problem" is how lazy jwz say "i don't want to read", by and large.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, what else is there ? usg wrote its fanfic itself too.
danielpbarron: well i don't wanna bore the channel with stuff you can easily learn from atruechurch.info
