mircea_popescu: !!rate cnomad -10 thief.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated cnomad 1 at 2018/06/12 21:46:46 << dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know the future yet

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad lulz, the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-08#1917766 item most eminently does not live up to the legacy of the name ; there's none of that exquisite attention to detail that made the original. the dialogue's terrible, both in conception as implementation, the maps are shoddily made... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as anil dash would no doubt wish to know, "are you even familiar with the redemption cycles in that culture".
hanbot: sure. i'm used to seeing freedom used on slavemaker apparati like stickers proclaiming some homeopathic garbage is detoxifying or whatever, though. FREEDOM!!1 Eat it and live forever, pleb! rare to see it approached like the foreign, dead carcass i suppose it actually has become, like this, poked with a stick from a distance, "freedom of expression".
mircea_popescu: it's been the pantsuit kick for the past few years, "hurr durr nignogs matter, herp derp freedoms dont"

hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-08#1917763 << haha check out the scare-quotes on supposedly sacred institution: Publishers in Japan argue that the graphic depiction of underage boys and girls having sexual relations in manga doesn’t necessarily exploit real children, and that such a move would infringe on someone’s “freedom of expression.” ☝︎
mircea_popescu is well lost to reason.
mircea_popescu: in other news, the russkis apparently made a vampire-succubus-orc mod for king's bounty while nobody was looking. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but if we live in a shit world today, it's in no small part because ~everyone has neglected to crush bitchslap the provincialist lobby lo these many decades.
mircea_popescu: note that the process ~has been slow~

BingoBoingo: In old country news, flood waters are approaching 1993 levels, but no one has managed to break anyone else's walls though some enterprising urban youth tried to wash out their town
asciilifeform: these live for as long as the maintainer feels like maintaining, on his lunch breaks
asciilifeform: unsurprised that it died
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it did, i even got 'portal' to run at one pt
asciilifeform: i dun expect the latter have any bidirectional connection to the former, any moar than the rats which eat mircea_popescu's leftovers in dumpster, have any effect on mircea_popescu's kitchen per se
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : apparently cca 2016 steam had a "run windows titles under linux" thing.
asciilifeform: for all i know, the actual elites still play poker just like in 19th c, in closed room. while in vegas the 'aspirational' morons 'us, too'
mircea_popescu: well, "fighting corruption", right ? uppity dweebs, went into poker room to dump their edgecase links.
asciilifeform: but then somehow went away, leaving the straight 'dice ops'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc had a piece re why poker , how it was a social circle thing for the rich, and then not. so, unsurprise, coin machines
mircea_popescu: this is not so. gambling in the old style, along with prostitution and not listening to your parents were traditionally important pillars of republic.
asciilifeform: elementarily moar poor idjits interested in the basic proposition than non-idjits
asciilifeform: of all the things that decayed from 'expensive to run' to 'casual monkey drops coin in slot', imho gambling is the least surprising
mircea_popescu: "oh, but we moved to asia". yeah, great fucking plan.
mircea_popescu: "oh, we're making so much money now [burning down the oilfields]". lasted for what, ten-fifteen years, now it's fucking dead.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 07:21 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917393 << then briefly thereafter, fold altogether, once ebay figures them out.
mircea_popescu: idiot vegas, followed the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917455 blueprint to the t : replaced the "expensive to run" games, the poker with its cigars and the craps with the whores and the hustlers with slots. ☝︎
asciilifeform: there's a reason these figure prominently in spamola of erry type, tho, hard to picture anyone with two working neurons playing
asciilifeform: evidently 'satoshi dice' dead, but the 9000 clones -- notyet
mircea_popescu: neither premises are any longer true, the slots "market" is like the disco pants / 70s hairdos market.
mircea_popescu: item existed at a certain point because from one hand technology sucked just enough to be able to make that kinda blinkenlichten box but no better ; and from the other hand because country bumpkin were just bored enough at home on the farm to find the box entertaining.
mircea_popescu: for the record, there is NO MARKET and absolutely no fucking need for slots games/machines/whatever. they're the contemporary equivalent of buggy whips
mircea_popescu: https://www.sosgame.com/ << other sduch lulz. "We are saddened to share that SOS and SOS: Classic has been permanently shut down. However you can use this website to play free Slot Games and win $25 per day by simply spending time on this website. [...] Free slots were created as a consequence of a growing need of the market to play slots..."
mircea_popescu: how the fuck are they gonna make a game worth half a 32 inch monitor is anyone's fucking guess.
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem a bridge too far for plenty of these.
mircea_popescu: they've gotten cheeky btw, i recall the furore when blizzard dared break the tacit "no game shall cost over 19.95". by now ? 80 euros (ie, aboyut a benjie).
mircea_popescu: tons and tons of fruit flies with driveways and car payments, pretending to granite gravestones and "a normal life". THEY'RE FUCKING FLIES.
mircea_popescu: all these big deals were here at some point. at some point in my lifetime. frankly, it doesn't seem so much earlier than today's breakfast.
mircea_popescu: just went away. arianna huffington, right, "mover and shaker", america's most politially influential whatever the fuck dumb cunt, right /
mircea_popescu: gigaom, this "big deal" specialist/experiencialist/entrepreneur/moasa-sa pe gheata.
mircea_popescu: sells in the end for 1,5mn or some shit. that site fucking owned the internet before altavista could return a search page on "google"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is moar 'life cycle of fruit fly' than 'ancient stones' imho
mircea_popescu: it's just... look, i guess a preoccupation with gravestones and old musty writs and whatall else is to some degree a professional deformation / professionalized mental issue. but nevertheless, consider : slashdot. fucking slashdot, yes, the people who named the site so that lamers couldn't tell it each other over the phone, calling each other from the video store (which, face it, early ,com internet was 100% videostore cle
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had piece where he got hold of a lolpad or the like, installed buncha '2 chinese d00dz on a napkin'-type gamez, and 6mo later all 'eggog, cannot connect to serv' etc
mircea_popescu: nothing seems to ever live up in death to the pretenses it puts up while alive.
mircea_popescu: kinda how it's fascinating to me how all sorta things end these days.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-07 21:06 asciilifeform: what was this ? ( a mud ? )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-07#1917697 << some kinda game. it's fascinating to me, how these things die. ☝︎
asciilifeform: barrett is admittedly slightly tricky to 'load into head', but it's where we beat the living shit out of koch et al speedwise (for some reason they never bothered to bake a barrett, even tho method was known since '86
asciilifeform: ty diana_coman . happy to hear that it was edible ( iirc yours is the 1st report. )
diana_coman will be back tomorrow
diana_coman: btw asciilifeform ch14 and esp the 14Abis (the bounds proof for barrett's reduction) were a pleasure to read.
diana_coman: just for any log readers around: this is not yet the 3d lib at all; it's JUST the planeshift client really, still.
diana_coman: funnily enough (though quite usual in my xp) precisely after I complained re the left/right confusion, I had now the pleasant surprise to find out that meanwhile my brain sorted it really; I suspect it was more that initially I did not realise that there was a mismatch rather than the actual changing of convention; getting back to it was fine.
asciilifeform: ( re eulora, as i currently understand diana_coman's main work atm is an excavation, similar to trb circa '15, of heathen coad )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this was the design objective, yes. is meant for people to eat.
diana_coman: it's much more sanely structured so one CAN actually understand it, you know; that's the main thing; not to mention it's ...worth getting it into one's head to start with; anyway, unless I end up writing a blogpost on "why size is really not all re code", it's probably enough to say it's saner really.
asciilifeform: ffa is much smaller , indeed, item than diana_coman's 3d lib dig
diana_coman: "a break" as in taking a break (from the mess)
diana_coman: on the bright side, ffa is such a contrast to euloran client to make digesting FFA a break in itself
asciilifeform: diana_coman: right, this was my inference from the orig article, your run time includes the wait for fg to emit
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my test was with bits directly read from fg, not buffered (if it wasn't clear); also fwiw further timings and tests are still on my list - it's just that my hands are/have been rather overflowing with eulora
asciilifeform: what was this ? ( a mud ? ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: it needs veehehery small current, on the order of a coupla microamps
asciilifeform: ( the 1 annoying aspect of lysotronic fg as currently drawn, is that it gets the +45v bias voltage for the detector, from batteries, as asciilifeform does not know of a 'rng safe' method to generate it from +5 without oscillators )
asciilifeform: since mircea_popescu mentioned 'lyso-fg' -- ftr if mircea_popescu ever comes to conclusion that we oughta bake one, it's all drawn up.
asciilifeform: mechanism, for thread-completeness.
asciilifeform: ( and, readers will recall, it eats strictly on-demand, when '?' operator invoked, and uses no threads or any bufferism beyond 'fill this here fz from /dev/wherever' .
asciilifeform: ... at any rate, 'peh' will continue to use the single-fg eater (as depicted in ch8, it hasn't changed) unless someone shows very good reason why it ought to be made moar complex and eat >1.
asciilifeform: ( i test mine when plugged in from shelf , can't speak for other folx )
asciilifeform: lol not simply 'factory test', but erry other test.
mircea_popescu: that's a thought! "save my own time!"
asciilifeform: primary win imho from a hypothetical 'fast fg' isn't even any of this, but that it is faster to test
mircea_popescu: not the point
asciilifeform: lyso-fg is about 20bux moar unit cost than classical. but i dun have the free hands atm.
mircea_popescu: yes well, just as soon as someone wants to do all-visible-celestial-bodies montecarloisims / novel protein folding etc -- can pay you to do the lyso array
asciilifeform: for systems like mircea_popescu's eulora rsa tho, possibly one'd want >7.5kB/s , but possibly also suffices.
mircea_popescu: for the needs of desktop crypto this is perfectly calibrated.
mircea_popescu: you want industrial thoroughput for some kind of scientific megaapplication, use the crystals.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in retrospect, prolly we oughta have made'em daisy-chainable. w/out bufferism it is somewhat tricky to use multiple fg to get fatter stream.
asciilifeform: imho the correct answ. is obv. if one thinks about it.
asciilifeform: ( btw mircea_popescu in old thread correctly intuited that you Do Not Want to buffer an fg, but i dun think either of us ever wrote explicitly why )
asciilifeform: given that asciilifeform does not buffer fg ( exercise for reader: why not? ) these waits do not happen in parallel with the computation, and by all rights ought to expect that a live-fg test (not yet performed) can be expected to take longer by the above interval, vs. the bottled-entropy test pictured in yest. thrd.
asciilifeform: given room temp fg @ 7.5 kByte/s , this is ~119 and ~105 sec. of fg , respectively, in avg case
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 15:46 asciilifeform: loox like diana_coman also used 2048b primes in test of diana_comantronic system ; 'A relatively short test run obtained 40 random primes of 2048 bits each in 13274 seconds in total (3.7 hours) meaning on average 331.85 seconds per prime (~6 minutes)' and diana_coman's 'winner' gets 16 shots; but caveats, a) we have diff iron
asciilifeform: meanwhile, thinking moar re this item : the two tests make roughly comparable demand on rng: 3582 * (2048 / 8) byte == 916992 bytes (single 2048 gcd) ; 3155 * (2048 / 8) == 807680 byte ; ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (here god stands for lobbes an'... spyked doing it too iirc ?)
BingoBoingo: The aging Lafond met with the family (archived lest it disappear into "print") http://archive.is/QgrQg
mircea_popescu: nicoleci, hey, make an account on http://trilema.com/2019/the-state-of-the-vidya-address/#comment-129346 forum and ask the guy whether he's amenable to sell out to us.
asciilifeform: no one ever said 'i wish i did not have this spare iron' lol
mircea_popescu: rather spend on this than say "art"
