mircea_popescu: because he purports to misrepresent reality, and worst of all - the reality of his own fucking experience - in castrato terms. o really, "elitism is bad" ? fuck you. if you believe that, how come you're here ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-09 22:24 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this guy's profile is utterly irritating.
mircea_popescu: as i age i'm simply rediscovering what i knew as a nine year old, which is, that i really can't stand "smart kids". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this guy's profile is utterly irritating. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'what does this MEAN?!!!!'
mircea_popescu: "hey, unlike everything else, at least this one doesn't have 5kb of crud prior to the interesting bit"
asciilifeform: in ~those~ days they had to actually run on the x86 cores.
asciilifeform: BUT this was before the 'nsa core' was added to intel cpu.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's almost a wonder these people choke on the oh-so-well written phuctor reports. considering the sort of inept bullshit floating about, you'd think they'd fall on knees and worship.
asciilifeform: it showed a quite 'amateur hour' telltale delta, given as the hypervisor can't move the wall clock ~on the fucking wall~ and you can see that it slows the box.
asciilifeform: old nyooz, the key bit is the part with the timing analysis
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess this wonder'll be dissected another time. on the strenght of his report, i dun feel inclined to look into the matter any.
asciilifeform: whereas healthy brain each has own theorems.
asciilifeform: because they tend to fall into sync with mass idiocies
asciilifeform: but actually i find that rotten brains are very - at least externally - similar
mircea_popescu: all happy brains are similar ; all rotten ones so very different. or how did that quote go.
mircea_popescu: never to the same.
asciilifeform: y'know, there is > 1 way to rot brain
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder the 2nd para doesn't start with "it's a cold muscovite october and the snow crackles under the steps..." or somesuch shit.
mircea_popescu: must've, the brainrot is specifically symptomatic.
asciilifeform: i dun think gawker has yet been invented in ru world.
mircea_popescu: he read too much gawker.
mircea_popescu: yeah well... i don't like the style of the author.
mircea_popescu: so then not byte-identical
asciilifeform: so the turd he was diffing matched, but there was moar.
mircea_popescu: что платы из Китая содержат дополнительные программные модули, прошитые в биосе, а стандартные программы анализа эти модули не увидели." so does it or doesn't it coincide to the byte ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i find it hard to believe nobody actually had done hardware parallelization in 2007.
shinohai: X marks the spot: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1462829659462.jpg
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu https://xakep.ru/2011/12/26/58104 << vintage lulz. bios rootkit in 2011, in intel-branded mb, pretty good evidence but nobody believed (tm)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://www.news-press.com/story/news/crime/2016/05/04/estero-man-arrested-hacking-into-state-lee-elections-website-david-levin-dan-sinclair/83921672
davout: kinda outdated though
davout: danielpbarron: maybe mention the znort guy by name in the qntra piece, dude's wot'd after all
j-dawg: and second version will be named 0x19, and so on to final version 0x00. no unicodez!!!
mircea_popescu: he's gonna release u-psilon the dating app or something
j-dawg: but that was not unicode, that was plain old space (0x20)
phf: can release anything with unicode in name, and search will happily barf. only uses mp approved letters to operate
j-dawg: and i'll move to FYROM!
mircea_popescu: are you going to be the hacker formerly known as j-dawg ?
j-dawg: if i ever release anything related to tmsr, will name it " ".
mircea_popescu: it's ~2 weeks old if that.
mircea_popescu: ah, mod6 introduced it recently. faster to search from:mod6 and go backwards.
mircea_popescu: j-dawg which one is t again ?
a111: Logged on 2014-08-30 08:31 Vexual: there you go caz, big fat hares t whever punk is
j-dawg: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-30#816239 typical result :D ☝︎
phf: i was thinking of maybe making standalone keywords search for a word, but if you want to grep, surround it with quotes. "t" will behave as now, where's t will behave as "^t " or " t$" or " t "
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22+T%22 << check out how nicely this works
j-dawg: unrelated, how do i search the logs for 't'? since there's no info on ml...
j-dawg: nor wanted to pay for alt.bin access
j-dawg: i have seen fair share of torrents with unicode filenames
mircea_popescu: i dunno mang, apparently one can't think without ideograms or something.
phf: still packs torrents full of rar r00 r01 r02 files
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, to this day the nebulously defined "community" around warez standard has a) not moved away from rar ; b) not allowed unicode in names.
j-dawg: but anyone can make the genesis, no?
phf: of course producing genesis from original v.pl and then using mod6's vpatch will give you a proper chain
phf: j-dawg: right, i think that's the one that's missing genesis though. so it's sort of a hybrid, you need original v.pl and then you press with a vpatch. i don't think that's the right way
asciilifeform: and you can feel entirely confident jumping with the parachute.
asciilifeform: sorta why i tried to keep mine TINY
mircea_popescu: but yes, some extruding pressure must be applied to get people to use the proper tool
asciilifeform: j-dawg: i suspect that folks, even incl. mod6, are still cautious of firing v in anger in the field
mircea_popescu: considering all this is yet new...
phf: j-dawg: i think there's a general "fear" of publishing a dodgy vpatch so everyone's hedging. i think that's one of the reasons for asciilifeform's vector
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - to dragon's eyes we work as if we were there. recall - you ftp'd to site then had it read into irc ?)
asciilifeform: i personally cracked a very tough cookie of a commercial proggy a few yrs back, and had... no place to put.
phf: razor was the last one to go
mircea_popescu: not accolade, thc convinced me of the possibility of computers
asciilifeform: who remembers the wonderful crack 'demos' !
mircea_popescu: note also that the groups were both distinct from the topsites let alone couriers, and also had their own artgroups!
phf: biggest japan pirate network was an invite only wot based around harddrive exchange, with the "if your friend's a rat, you're a rat" policy
asciilifeform: in america they called it 'sneakernet'
asciilifeform: but it also helped that enemy could not even for a millisecond masquerade as a real person.
asciilifeform: any two kidz passing floppies back'n'forth were a world.
mircea_popescu: probably the reason copyrasts didn't get away with much over 30 years of trying. no, it wasn't reddit, no "raising awareness" did jack.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, there was at least one example of well known, functional, wot-only system online. teh scene.)
mircea_popescu: heh. i just meant the names.
asciilifeform: it cannot exist today just like the prehistoric dragonflies cannot
mircea_popescu: w99w99... check it out... soon enough all the ancient scene is going to pop back up, myth and all.
asciilifeform: j-dawg: aha, that's mine
asciilifeform: 'Then, in Dec 2011, Asheesh, a Debian dev particularly fond of his key ID, found a way to create a new RSA 4096 key with that ID (and a bug in GnuPG handling of duplicate keys) [2]. He highlighted the disruptive potential of that and decided not to release the code. Bummer.
mircea_popescu: looky, he uses the same hardware you use :D
asciilifeform: much nostalgia in one box, tho.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh yeah, dumbass bbs people and their "nick" notions.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://phrack.org/issues/69/2.html#article << lulzy
phf: i think i saw mod6 vpatch's for v.pl, but afaik there's no genesis for those, etc.
phf: j-dawg: btcbase secretly tracks btcbase itself, since i'm experimenting with (load-v "foo.vpatch") type thing, but that's not public. i don't think there's a proper vtronic chain of V or rotor available, so unless i generate those myself there's nothing i can track
j-dawg: phf: btcbase.org doesn't track V itself or rotor?
asciilifeform: so my reaction to parading through firstclass is similar to seeing 'zil' limousine, or its usg equiv.
mircea_popescu: large part of the problem.
asciilifeform: for every mircea_popescu paying in actual dough for firstclass, there's a platoon of apparatchiks, of various usgtronic flavours, who 'expense'.
mircea_popescu: (in the above context, "her" is a genderless pronoun used to denote stupidity)
mircea_popescu: anyway. i can readily see usg womanchild losing her shit because it's the first time in her life that he encounters the implacable "sit down and shut up, worm"
mircea_popescu: either you're good enough to fly or you aren't, wtf is this subway in the air.
mircea_popescu: somehow the very concept of economy class flight is dubious.
j-dawg: i won't ever forget my first time on transatlantic economy flight. couldn't sleep due to vibrations, terminally bored and pretty close to rage even without thoughts about first class
j-dawg: lol "they suspected these explanations are missing something."
asciilifeform: 'They suggest that when people fly in economy class, their position in the social hierarchy becomes glaringly obvious. This fact is especially so if they have to walk through the first class section of the plane to get to their assigned space in a cramped hell.'
asciilifeform: from the dept of lulz:
danielpbarron: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://danielpbarron.com/qntra/bitbet-is-live-again.asc.txt
asciilifeform: incidentally, i just recently found out about the junkers ju390 in buenos aires 1945 thing.
trinque: that "google custom search api" thing does actually hand back zero results for certain queries it seemingly shouldn't
mircea_popescu: in fairness, the "community" had two years to run off with one of the more generous aff systems in history, twiddled its thumbs.
