mod6: cool. i'll make
that
the next step. getting it
to be botified.
mircea_popescu: truth is by now i'm not even sure exactly how many distinct projects we're managing, but it's over a dozen, and will only keep growing. gotta import some management
tools into all
this, casual worked long enough
mod6: trinque: any
thoughts here? should we just collaborate on
this? phf?
☟︎ mod6: sounds great
to me. i was just
talking about stripping down atcbot and reusing
the skeleton
to build a bot for
this.
mircea_popescu: and
then whoever's maintaining
the
thing, can read
through em, when working on it.
mircea_popescu: so everyone who wants shit done by, say, btcbase, can put
tickets in btcbase rather
than put
them here and hope
they won't be forgotten in
the log.
mircea_popescu: mod6 how about if
there was a
ticket bot ; and we had a website, a la deedbot.org, where
tickets could be seen ; and we had acess control based on pgp, so
that either world, lordship, or specified people can see a particular
ticket set ?
mod6: or if you know
the id number, do `./t.pl
tickets.txt pid <TICKET_ID>`
mod6: when you're done adding/editing or deleteing a
ticket, just print
them if you wish `./t.pl
tickets.txt p`
mod6: i may add new ways
to do
this in
the not
too distant future. either via bot, or perhaps by just like piping in
the info in from
the cli.
mod6: you can just `./t.pl
tickets.txt add` and it'll prompt you from
the cli.
shinohai: Are
those chopsticks on her
tongue?
mod6: ok actually, around pretty much for
the rest of
the night.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hey mod6 if you have
time
today
to hold my hand with your
T, ima move
the whole "hey x plox y"
thing over. << hi! i should be available in a few hours for sure.
mircea_popescu: davout iirc bitbet
tried it once, for curiosity. i guess
they weren't watching along back
then
davout: a dumb bot could place wagers on
this kind of stuff
davout: i fail
to see how
this kind of proposition makes any sense in a "pari mutuel" context
fromphuctor: ok, i leave, i have many
things
to read now :)
mircea_popescu: tmsr, aka b,tmsr~ and la serenissima.
The Most Serene Republic, worldwide ultimate sovereign.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obv has his own list ; in
the end it's one of
those where people agreed with conclusions each for his own reason set i guess.
mircea_popescu: the other lobe is
that when buying snake oil ; buy
the cheapest. ecc is undully complicated.
mircea_popescu: one is
that
the mp excomunicated it, perhaps on
the basis of not liking how it's being sold, perhaps because he reads
the secret documents, who knows.
davout: i've always been intrigued about
this republican of ECC, is it because of something with
the discrete logarithm problem underlying math i don't understand, or is it because of
the particular way ECC crypto was developed?
fromphuctor: ideally people should just move
to 4k keys, no ?
mircea_popescu: the whole ecc push may go down in history as one of
the finest moments of "being
too smart for one's own good" lulz.
mircea_popescu: ironically,
they're now seeing
themselves forced
to migrate back
to rsa ; because ecc shit is weak.
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor yeah ;
this has actually been discussed in
the logs.
mircea_popescu: davout it's just
that [to my parser] he's managed
to merely ask questions, without veering into
the normative nonsense.
fromphuctor: do u
think US NIST is pushing ECC instead of RSA because
they cannot crack RSA ?
mircea_popescu: besides,
the web is something
that happens in curl, not a browser.
fromphuctor: hopefully u should
trust your browser... so u should
trust
the CA it supports, and so
the browser support cert signed by
the CA supported by
the browser
mircea_popescu: well possibly it's his first
time among sane people, so he never heard of
this before.
fromphuctor: yes, but if
they are giving away certs is because
they want people
to use
theirs instead of others
mircea_popescu: so
then fromphuctor :
the dudes
that made
that aren't in
the wot ; consequently, it's a scam.
mircea_popescu: world of
tanks lol.
trinque wtf
the api can't be
that broken ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: $google "What
the WoT is, how it works and how
to use it"
mircea_popescu: imo
this entire "can only play if
the game's about me" is very much retardo-puritan nonsense, of
the same ilk as "everything's a
technologee and i shall better my lyf".
mircea_popescu: if you look at how
the firmware works, only difference between boys and girls is ONE! Y chromosome.
mircea_popescu: why can't it just be "there's people with
theorems
to prove still ; and
their cocks won't suck
themselves" ?
mircea_popescu: though considering
the
time
the same males spend playing "trading card games" and derived stuff where
the levelling happens
through SACRIFICING motherfucking other cards... you'd
think it'd light up already.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes,
this is for some reason hardest for males,
the simple disjunction "this one is special ; i am not special. it is my place in
this world
to be sacrificed for him.". it comes more naturally
to mothers somehow.
mircea_popescu: well
the rome where
term was ~29 years and
they got land at
the outskirts and a local slavegirl was post marian reform.
mircea_popescu: the roman version was pretty reasonable, about
the same
term
then get land and an orc girl for a slave.
BingoBoingo: What does reality have
to do with Amherst?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo
that particular angle smacks of someone playing risk. o really, "they won ww2" ? herp. << What do you
think
they
think
they are playing?
mircea_popescu: problem being by now it's
the principal intellectual activity of esl adults, risibly enough.
mircea_popescu: it's a harmless
thing for 14yos
to engage in, and
the basis of
things like business
tycoon games, a large chunk of what drives lego etc.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males
that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally
through
this phase of "fantasy busienss" where
they keep doing various coups in
their heads, start a carwash
then buy a shoestore with
the proceeds
then
trade
that in for a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: if only
there was a way
to sell
their genius
to patton for roubles or somesuch,
they could have bought
the whole russian stock exchange back before it was worth anything.
