mircea_popescu: anyway, with Framedragger 's bundle being dumped in phuctor, their "market" just evaporared.
mircea_popescu: pity they didn't call it "ethereum"
asciilifeform: 'Handling SSH keys or SSL certs for your clients? Get in touch with us for a premium access to our key testing API.'
asciilifeform: complete with 'really this is it' and 'real time human censor'
Framedragger: found https://cryptosense.github.io/keytester/ (post about it here: https://cryptosense.com/an-online-rsa-key-tester/ ) seems to be closed source, their uber db size is unknown
mircea_popescu: nah, that can't be in there, can it now.
mircea_popescu: "While authorities begin the painstaking work into why gunman Omar Mateen massacred at least 50 people at a popular gay nightclub in Florida, they'll have a number of clues for understanding the mindset of the mass murderer" << guy didn't care for your stupid cult ?
BingoBoingo: Anyways the important part https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Pulse_Nightclub_Massacre#Graded_Score
mircea_popescu: whaaat the everloving shit.
BingoBoingo: Advanced neurological decay brough on by the Beetus
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what is that weak shit ? "protected class" trying to leech ?
mircea_popescu: inspired by their "report to fbi" thing i just registered #offended
BingoBoingo: Victimhood jostling: "if you’re straight i really appreciate you uh, making posts about this and trying to raise awareness and give your 2 cents but please….. don’t? this isn’t about you or what you think and it’s making me really uncomfortable lmao please let us raise our voices, please share our posts instead of making your own. today isn’t a day for you to be reaching for ally points"
BingoBoingo: "A furfag lied and pretended one of their friends was killed during the shooting, which caused a moderate amount of drama in the furry scene; go raid and troll his Fur Affinity account and stir up some drama for the lulz! "
BingoBoingo: This is a serious bug in the Internet. I fixes oral history as printed text too soon.
mircea_popescu: arguably a process much more important than its results.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno if the original was intended to be fiction, but this incremental rewriting is how the oral history passes
mircea_popescu: ^ if any of the lafond afficionados wanna compare with the original an' lemme know...
shinohai: kk, in retrospect i feel that BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell shinohai The PwC thing is a bit too much noisy to run
asciilifeform: /* TODO Montgomery modular multiplication */ << lel
asciilifeform: snore, uses heap, and not thread safe.
phf: suckless released their own bigint library http://git.suckless.org/libzahl/
Framedragger: asciilifeform: (the bz2 expands to 6.0 GiB btw, and it's 13 files inside (in said CSV format), and there's no sorting order and the files can be safely concatenated etc.)
mircea_popescu: no doubt the stuff feminist nightmares aree made of. sort of ready equivalent to "human herd of the future consisting of mostly females"
mircea_popescu: http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=4026 << incidentally, the "we got a hooker in X" / 5 dudes in main room hanging out and woman locked in bathroom for later use is very much emblematic male society. from the greek's gynecaeum to the mongol's "the smoked deer up that pole and the captured hos up that pole".
mircea_popescu: "usg runs a racket ; tmsr runs a ratchet."
mircea_popescu: or, to put the same in positive terms, "we've driven the tools to where they exposed grave misunderstanding in the conceptual basis for their usage, now we gotta attend to that side of the ratchet."
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah k, this particiular concern should be acknowledged
Framedragger: (berkeleyan in the sense of (1) take locke's skeptical concerns, and (2) discard locke's "solution" involving lockean substance and substratum and other essentialist stuff)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger that;s not necessarily the problem. the problem seems moreover that we have very weak understanding of items that nevertheless we treat as key bricks in the planned construction. this "everyone knows" stuff is very dangerous.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: 10000 mile distant response: just because you accept (at least parts of) (berkeleyan?) skepticism doesn't necessarily mean that *all* relevant conceptual boundaries are useless and prone to slippery slope dissolution
asciilifeform: take the pi and build.
asciilifeform: fully tested is when you do this.
asciilifeform: take that pi and build a house.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, to expand this horror, what'd be your definition of "fully tested" asciilifeform ?
mircea_popescu: "works the same" only if oyu do it the same, see.
mircea_popescu: i calculated digits of pi to be 3.879345839845
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'provided by universe' is a practical thing - like calculating digits of pi works the same regardless of whether you do it with darts, afghan - with kalash, and me - by throwing rocks, in a circle-in-square.
mircea_popescu: it is perhaps notable that universe does not provide spec of itself, and so "we're stuck doing basic science on it".
mircea_popescu: so now you're doing two things of the same kind - a convention and another convention.
asciilifeform: usg is at this very moment attempting a cleave of 'socialism fails'
mircea_popescu: there's no way yet invented to mortise and tenon DIFFERENT beams together. so the result in practice is that you always interpret one - in this case "universe" becomes accessible through mediation, you describe it to yourself.
asciilifeform: this is right back to the 'cleavables' thread.
mircea_popescu: it runs into a problem of "what it means to be provided by universe". for instance - is failure of socialism provided by universe ? is the fact you can't walk through fire conventional or universal ?
asciilifeform: (the notion of 'high vacuum', interestingly enough, ~has~ a hard spec: mean free path of a particle in the vacuum must be larger than the vessel is wide along any axis)
Framedragger: i don't know, but either (1) do not distinguish, or (2) use asciilifeform criterion, which i don't think to be circular, i.e. it's probably sound?
asciilifeform: whether the constraints are provided by universe for free (e.g., all vacuum everywhere has same permeattivity constant, you don't have to sweat to get correct one) vs engineered.
mircea_popescu: how you distinguish between "spec" and "things that emerge from constraints" ?
Framedragger: (ahahaha re bassett disaster.. yeah i would view 'cache' as an inevitable result of *constraints* (finite c).. i think it was a confusion of terms (spec / things that emerge from constraints), and i suppose the point of confusion itself is possibly an interesting object to discuss, etc)
asciilifeform: 'When I worked in South Baltimore I had to check the aerosol whip before I touched it. Down there those fends would unzip the seal and blast all of the gas up their nose right there in the aisle, resulting in nose bleeds. Most nights that I worked at the Fort Avenue store I had at least one canister on the dairy shelf with blood and other nasal secretions dripping down the side.' << l0l!!
mircea_popescu: "I once worked with a crew who all huffed the Airwick room freshener and then sat back against the pallet stack and giggled and said “Wow man” for an hour. " << check out the theorematicians.
asciilifeform has quite practical and spartan approach to insect control.
asciilifeform: normally a quick stomp suffices, i haven't the patience or time to pull the wings off.
mircea_popescu: aww i was hoping for a thorougher trashing of the imbecile redditard and his "hey guise let me tell you what alt universe my unchallenged 15 yo mind dreamed up"
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah but i dunno how good it is with serving parallel requests; think it will be fine for this though, yeah
mircea_popescu: Framedragger should be able to serve a file neh ?
mircea_popescu: also, you never answered the bassett disaster ?
Framedragger: oh uh, it's a shitty python web server there, i should provide something better huh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, 5x the phuctor installed basis :D
Framedragger: go figure the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the human mind
Framedragger: (i used one vps at a time (switched due to abuse complaints and so that i'd be sure there's no filtering / results are not biased) for the "which IPs out of all IPv4 are alive behind :22" scan, and i then used 13 cheap VPSes for the actual ssh key extraction out of the 20.8M alive candidates. if curious re cost: will get the bill for the 13 VPSes later, but it was basically 11 hours of scanning, 2.99eur / mo. per VPS, hourly billing, so
Framedragger: this is what i've been able to extract (timeout for ssh server to provide ssh keys: 7.0 seconds), but now that i better understand the nuances of this particular undertaking, re-scanning / re-extraction would be much easier. in particular, doable in 36 hours for under 2 euros of cost (and doable in shorter amount of time for more euros and more concentrated work). which means that costs are absolutely negligible, unless you want to keep
mircea_popescu: ahaha omg. caught in the act!
Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like to interrupt this joyful occasion of copulation of you two by noting that ssh-rsa keys of all of ipv4 are now ready for phuctoring and further analysis; they are in the format of e,N,ipaddress. there's 10.6M of them, out of 20.8M something-listening-on-port-22 hosts. rejoice!
mircea_popescu: nfi what the museum did there.
mircea_popescu: except they had the sense to not make the gaps line
mircea_popescu: sadly i was otherwise involved at the time and didn't think to shoot it up.
mircea_popescu: looks like inner for some sort of light rail, 2nd looked normal, third looked ~russian
asciilifeform: so inner set for coal cart or the like.
mircea_popescu: something like this : | | | |
asciilifeform: ah so they have symmetric sets, for variant gauges ?
asciilifeform: for the train to move
mircea_popescu: thye just run parallel. what to you mean where
mircea_popescu: the track simply has multiple rails.
asciilifeform: or where do they put them
mircea_popescu: i've seen actual track laid that way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you should see the rail here btw. often they have 3-5 rails installed.
mircea_popescu: i don';t think they care.
asciilifeform: incidentally for so long as isis army fights with american gear, they are stuck with monkey units.
mircea_popescu: for noobs as you say : calculate the fluid ounces of water to be found in a lake of parallelipiped profile a quarter mile deep, two hundred yards long and six hundred feet wide.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-02 17:21 asciilifeform: 'Postel's Law,' that historic mistake.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-02#474922 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: did we ever do a 'postel's law not only considered harmful but a disaster of epic proportions, quite comparable to leaded petrol' thread ? ☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: do they ?
mircea_popescu: they use the metric system.
mircea_popescu: it's what always has to happen.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for completeness : the correct, mp-would-find-satisfying, tmsr etc solution to the lathe problem is : make a lathe that cuts lathe parts. shoot anyone found with threaded items not made by your lathe for a few years.
asciilifeform: but yes, fundamentally spec was born so that a man could part out a rifle.
asciilifeform: napoleonic war tech.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally is how specificatgion was originally born. "replaceable parts", ww2 tech.
asciilifeform: but if they aren't ~interchangeable~ you have no industry.
asciilifeform: can be as well made as you care to pay for
asciilifeform: fuck that.
asciilifeform: in the sense of 'each one is precious and unique and handmade'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform art in the old sense, from artifex.
mircea_popescu: and being tired of old wifey is also a win "any way you cut it", except no way you care to.
asciilifeform: specified threads were a win.
mircea_popescu: "specification is what happens to art products that are no longer interesting. it is the equivalent of commoditization for resources, familiarity in relationships and failure in civilisation."
asciilifeform: (for n00bs: to cut a thread, your lathe needs: a threaded part! itself !)
