gabriel_laddel: "impotence is just as much fun"
mircea_popescu: for as long as that article stands "less wrong" seriously can't exist intellectually.
asciilifeform: 'opin as to .... performance'
mircea_popescu: buncha fuctards, can't speak in public, opine as to consummate public speaker's performance ; never as much as owned a suit of clothes, comment the suits of dude that's been wearing one since highschool. on it goes.
mircea_popescu: AS FUCKING IF there exists the webtard that can emulate my rhetoric ability.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: whole thing is fucked as soon as the cultural notions of born slaves enters the process
trinque: soon as someone does something that works some other idiot comes along and wants to make a religion and government out of it
asciilifeform: as in, max transactions PERIOD.
mod6: worked through the test plan after 2 small fixes, seems to be working as designed.
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has a point you know, simply setting an index as "autoincrement" in your sql should supply this.
phf: maybe the id can be optional, but fwiw it doesn't need to match what the btcbase has. as long as it's unique and incremental on your system. the main usecase is that if the bot drops, for the duration of reconnect logger wants to know what happened on channel. so can do since_time=<+-10 minutes around drop time> and then fuzzy shuffle messages in
mod6: but the rest I can do, and I won't be logging messages as this thing will drop pms.
asciilifeform: it isn't as if the site somehow resists crawling of the usual sort.
mircea_popescu: what appears to you as sluggish is simply thing doing sluggish for someone else meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: this entire "web numbers map to people" theory is just about as ridiculous as the whole "bitcoin addresses map to people" theory.
mod6: As soon as we get through the testing, will deploy here and hopefully can turn attention to trb stuffs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'no motivation to pester' thing is possibly changing, as ro is slowly converted into usg forward base
mircea_popescu: yeah the large lights were very vulnerable, and expensive as fuck.
trinque: They have always claimed that we Black cannot run an organization like AFRINIC (too complex for our small bird brain...) ... I have leaved [sic] through that during my 10 years as CEO both in Africa and globally. But the reality is that our own people let this kind of thing perpetuate. << muh sides
phf: they did a lot of work to ensure that things just work, so you put a couple of annotations in your lisp and can call those lisp functions from either android or ios. the two limitations is that you don't get an easy way to call from lisp back into native (at least that was the case when i tried it). the idea is that you write all your logic in lisp and use native exclusively as view. and second limitation is that built executable lacks compiler, s
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475432 << i've used it, and the wukix people are responsive to feature requests. i think the source is a fork of one of kyoto common lisp derivatives, probably akcl. fwiw it's the same lineage as gcl and ecl, so ascii's "why not compile ecl" is entirely reasonable ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Very delicious as poor man's substitute for crab in crab cakes.
asciilifeform: for one thing, you need to have the solution to a case of problem to use it as crypto. otherwise you could 'elementary proof of fermat's conjecture is the key!'
mircea_popescu: that's the bitch now innit. that's at least what i was longfaced about earlier, "in practical eavesdropping you don't EVER care about message integrity. if your algebraic cyrptosystem is porous to someone saying "bring me all messages that discuss ALEODOR" or whatever, and then he can discern something about them - say that ALL possible forms of one use it in the negative - you're still as fucked as a three year old in a pedo
asciilifeform: particular case can be as simple as you like. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i find it also very interesting that all aes-like ('boxes') cryptosystems are direct descendants of rotor machines. which were known to be pseudoscientific even when first built, as vernam existed ☟︎
mircea_popescu: has ~same problem as physics.
asciilifeform: as noisily as you like.
asciilifeform: same as dh, elgamal, cramershoup.
asciilifeform: as an a,b,c triplet of integers ?
mircea_popescu: as a f(a,b,c) ?
mircea_popescu: the idea being that in principle there should exist a set a b c so as to turn any encrypted text into ~any text you wish it to be
mircea_popescu: "why you're so dumb i'd be loath to separate you from humanity. here, say where you each wanna go and i'll take you there, as an act of mercy (for you)".
mircea_popescu: as an adventure, like.
mircea_popescu: so there's a bunch of various people gangsta as fuck at the poker room of this casino of this retirement community that had originally been built in what was a us state but meanwhile was lost in some desert.
asciilifeform: 0 in 2009. With shipping and other costs, the total was less than $75, according to court records. The printer's buyer was Gersh Zavodnik, a 54-year-old Indianapolis man known to many in the legal community as a frequent lawsuit filer who also represents himself in court. The Indiana Supreme Court said the "prolific, abusive litigant" has brought dozens of lawsuits against individuals and businesses, often asking for astronomical dam
asciilifeform: 'We are building an anonymous, taxable payment system using modern cryptography. Customers will use traditional money transfers to send money to a digital Exchange and in return receive (anonymized) digital cash. Customers can use this digital cash to anonymously pay Merchants.

asciilifeform: 'Central to Mead's rescue project are a series of discoveries inconsistent with the prevailing conceptions of quantum mechanics. One was the laser. As late as 1956, Bohr and Von Neumann, the paragons of quantum theory, arrived at the Columbia laboratories of Charles Townes, who was in the process of describing his invention. With the transistor, the laser is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century. Designed into
asciilifeform: as a kind of dope user (of caffeine) i will put it differently
a111: Logged on 2014-08-25 03:08 asciilifeform: busy as a bee << funny that they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out theorems
asciilifeform: everything starts somewhere. but as observer i am more interested in whether it has wheels to begin with.
mircea_popescu: it's one of those "i'll be a man and everything else will stay as it was when i was a child".
asciilifeform: it means, as i understand, 'this dun work but WE KNOW HOW TO FIX!111111 and will fix before anyone notices!11'
asciilifeform: where there is no such thing as clean aborts even if author wanted this.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, it's the optimal use for "his idea" such as it was.
asciilifeform: having seen in real life the circa freaks in question, i find it plain as daylight that they cannot reach own arse
asciilifeform: the sumo men are well documented to use apprentice fighters as arse wipers.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, as many people use a stick to wipe their own ass as died of fan-mediated asphyxia.
mircea_popescu: of course nonsensical hysteria can just as well be periodically rediscovered.
asciilifeform: e.g., the eastern folk are lightyearz ahead in the art of people-packin' as contemplated in mircea_popescu's 'female herd' articles
asciilifeform: which is being replicated in usa as we speak, naturally
asciilifeform: afaik - quite fragmentarily. a 10,000 hieroglyph vocab. of a learned cn man would scarcely qualify as literacy in a euro lang
asciilifeform: as i said years ago. as schwartz said. etc.
asciilifeform: mutant simply registered as 'yet another key for this name'.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-05 02:50 mircea_popescu: the whole "we spontaneously change keys for no reason" thing is as ridiculous as it always was.
mircea_popescu: the whole "we spontaneously change keys for no reason" thing is as ridiculous as it always was. ☟︎
asciilifeform: this example makes 0 sense tho. if i know that martians will devour me in 1 week, i sure as fuck wouldn't work
asciilifeform: that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flag and loyalty-parades ... Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people “I offer you a good time,” Hitler has said to them “I offer you struggle, danger and death,” and as a ☟︎
asciilifeform: but for the remaining standing one to refer to it as an algo that can be picked up and used by somebody, is rather odd.
asciilifeform: what's the operative, as mircea_popescu would ask, difference ?
mircea_popescu: well, as ritual. but as meaning, it's a sort of "men of community vouch for this young shit"
asciilifeform: i thought it was as proof of min iq for marriagebility
mircea_popescu: there's a very fucking good reason she changes her name and wears her hair as long as captor ordains. it's the fucking design, she gets captured and re-socialized in captor's castle.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would a man chose to live as a woman over dying as a man.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu did not grow up as the monkey in the puzzle and beating experiment. which is all very good for him.
asciilifeform: in my, as mircea_popescu called it, 'countereconomic rathole'
asciilifeform: i did, at various times, as a very heavy cost of this 'earning bread' thing.
asciilifeform: whereas once there was such a thing as email.
asciilifeform: consider something as well-known as the death of email.
mircea_popescu: but as per the latter... just fucking write, who cares.
mircea_popescu: now, as per the former, you'd have to forbid anyone from writing anything about "neoreaction" because i dunno, they're clouding out the true truth as found on your blog.
mircea_popescu: to any human activity that's fragmentary and incomplete (such as writing, whatever the form), two fundamental approaches may be applied.
mircea_popescu: seems scarcely any difference. the pow such as it was, always was some social capital, and not much at that.
mircea_popescu: the fact remains that either you agree EVERYONE writing as many books as humanly possible is really a benefit for books, somehow (cuz you get access to supposedly valuable whatever the fuck you wouldn't have otherwise) ; or else you agree random internet dude picking up the web mantle and derping about how "the cathedral" sucks is really fucking up the work of the actual good men involved in tearing that shit down.
asciilifeform: in so much as q concerned my appetites, it did.
mircea_popescu: how is this supposed to work, "waiter can be as dirty as he pleases, not like he's the cook" ?
asciilifeform: mr mold was a hilarious source of trivia re 100 yrs of usg rot. e.g., how kgb owned state dept., how prestige farming works in detail, etc. none of it original to him, he simply dug up the primary sources, best as he could. hence his nick.
mircea_popescu: "i became more able to continue as an automaton in the fiat order"
mircea_popescu: you like to act as if "books" are the same thing ; they aren't ; mostly because you like to think "people reading books" are the same thing. they also aren't. and sure as fuck "internet agreement clubs" aren't political instruments.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not by the laser-print-on-demand thing as such.
mircea_popescu: "you want to keep pretending X ? fine, this means you get to pay through the nose. so your pretense you're a world power costs what, 5 trn a year in subsidies to everyone that can bust your skull open ? fine. this is what, 1/1000 as important, that'd mean you owe me ~5bn to plead out and let you be. how much of that you got in cash ? and by cash we mean bitcoin, of course."
