asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i will, if it turns up again
a111: Logged on 2017-04-10 01:43 mircea_popescu is more than willing to share his dollar-a-lb bounty with l1 all-comers. i also made myself fruit salad out of [actually ripe] mango, [actually ripe] pineapple, [actually ripe] banmanas, drenched in fresh oj etc.
mod6: !!key pete_dushenski
asciilifeform: btw pete_dushenski would appreciate the scene : old pickup truck on street, sign 'for sale' : 28k usd.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-02 01:44 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, 8k buys you like two cars here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is more in line with my naive picture.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-01 19:37 mircea_popescu: the lulz of all fucking time, a grand bought his father a new life 25 years ago ; i just did the household accounting, my petty cash line is a shade over $8`000. that excludes rents like it excludes isp bills or agents on a mission or anything else worth the fucking mention. a grand would buy me half a week's worth of groceries, taking a girl out or buying her some random dress we saw in the window so she comes out of the sho
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: what does that accomplish? !!v to show that key i'm registering is indeed owned by me?
trinque: mircea_popescu: idea being to require people to be auth'd to nickserv first?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in wet tshirt news, http://68.media.tumblr.com/64e15b06f56eaef9bbc7fbb9897ced32/tumblr_nkfba4hV4o1tu9t4go1_1280.jpg
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1646987 << heh https://jrwr.io/doku.php?id=blog:ovh_vrack_security_issue (they did respond and amend fairly quickly, but srsly) ☝︎

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: kk.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: in theory, any objections to a dc located in india ?
shinohai: mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1890786.msg18828297#msg18828297
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: guess so.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: they have massive firewall, blocking at will. could be not a problem, depending on business case of customers of course. and i guess the counter would be "everyone does"
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: lol if people want boxes racked in the heart of the empire i can do it for 100/mo for a 2U
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: if the baltics are technically in nato per http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/nato_countries.htm, this leaves approx. russia, china, japan, korea, and... ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: already it is so hungry ??
Framedragger: pete_dushenski: curious how much they'd quote for 256 GB ECC ram :) (phuctor)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: nato
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski montreal is not part of the world.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you happen to recall when we had the thread re 'saving' being a magical-thinking delusion as a concept ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: right, insane inflation. counterpoint "it's all about timing and location" anecdote (purely for entertainment): dad worked in chocolate factory in u.s. back in ~1991, for 2-3mo.; went home with ~ $1k, bought car and flat. ppp!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: also recall the 'tx replacement' thread. classical btc has uncorrectable birth defects.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: theoretically. but tx grow in number, and ssd grows no cheaper.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nope
asciilifeform: ( before mircea_popescu balks -- 'trbi' ain't btc )
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ikr
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: alright, more than that: i place higher odds of usd surviving in 2050 if put against btc surviving in 2050. why: a very primitive "age of existence" heuristic. and, i don't trust EC crypto, like, you know, no-one here does. so not willing to put retirement savings into btc. it adds up, utilities, retirement.
mircea_popescu: http://68.media.tumblr.com/bd01c81c0c708e3e995ab86652ea19d2/tumblr_ofxifw8zgz1vvfoleo1_500.gif to continue the picrelated trend.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's 'not anything' is true re 'resource-allocatory' moneys
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: there is that. point is, world is ~sheep (when approximated/rounded), they have fiatbux/lifedebtbux, they don't care about these things, intel's profits come at scale, hence investing into "decent tech" is not business-viable. is all i'm sayin'.

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: machine doesn't boot if you do, it's for enterprise security you understand
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope, boobytrapped, box shuts down in iirc 30min
mircea_popescu: and in other 56th wave feminisms, https://68.media.tumblr.com/0e8eb89bd01e55b9063a0c1b812f6d8f/tumblr_ngqdo4wLx41sxfvmgo4_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it could even be the case that the 'no, we won't plug your box in' are not in fact selling physical boxes. but instead are fraudulently peddling vmtron
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu earlier asked some dc for 'i'll lease your box but plug in this 1 thing'
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: what do you mean, do you mean resistance against colocating?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wonder how the ssl idiots handle this ( they have, or at least at one time had, hardware accelerators for their nonsense . did they also have to pay for entire machine colo, to plug in the 1 board ?? )
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu recently discovered that you gotta buy a colo if you want to emplace something as small as even a FUCKGOATS
asciilifeform: not even addressed to mircea_popescu in particular.
shinohai still wants one of mircea_popescu 's thinkpads from back in the day ....
asciilifeform: incidentally, if it turns out that mircea_popescu had in fact buried 10,001 opterons somewhere in the desert, now'd be the time to dig'em up. and profit margin will be very respectable.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'll mention one thing tho: you cited "$10k+ / year" figures and all that, but just ftr i don't believe the actual *profit margin* (vs. revenue) would be decent. that said, this should of course be researched.
asciilifeform: ( if mircea_popescu needed a 2009opteron for own use -- asciilifeform could, in principle, help. but if he needed a rack-house filled with them -- the gods themselves, could not help. )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aite, 1s

mircea_popescu: and in other news : do you enjoy traveling ? is your idea of traveling to walk for hours among the strange bazaars of distant lands ? does the cushion for the pushin' whine that her feet hurt and that she's thirsty and hurr durr ? there are solutions! https://68.media.tumblr.com/469792dfd1e169230c2349eb69afd23c/tumblr_ocm867cZ1O1ukrdklo1_500.gif

asciilifeform: https://www.riscure.com/archive/rsacc_ctrsa_final.pdf << re earlier ( unfortunately no demunged version available )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i gotta come up with proper proof...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ runs in SAME space, and same order of complexity , as the old routine...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'smart pointers' lol. familiar to cpp users. imho this type of 'automation' helps no one.
asciilifeform: and diana_coman holy SHIT is that method 1001x moar complicated than mine.
mod6: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform, et. al: Third FG, first run of entropy collection & testing of `ent` && `dieharder` complete: http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/fg3.ent_run1.txt http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/fg3.dieharder_run1.txt
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes at least theoretically auto_ptr was the standard replacement for unique_ptr, with the difference that it can also be copied, not just moved. so in point of fact plain replacement of one for the other is bound to cause grief.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see thread - i solved the general case. maybe oughta demand master degree nao, lol.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-29 05:56 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes whart's the difference between auto_ptr and unique_ptr, dja know ?
asciilifeform: now let's do mircea_popescu's third statement:
asciilifeform: these 2 cases overflow, but the fact does not trivially flow from mircea_popescu's equation, you do not know that they will do so by counting the leading 0s
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'l1 + l2 < N - 1, the product of a and b will always overflow N.' << didja mean > rather than < ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldja spare a few min and plox write down algo ?
asciilifeform: hmm i see where mircea_popescu is going
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's, for simplicity, take 3bit regs :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's statement is true but doesn't help, because we do not have an elastic register to represent the arity of the mult result.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this only works for addition.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: expand

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's how they always worked

a111: Logged on 2017-04-29 13:29 mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don't understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don't. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds.
asciilifeform: ohai mircea_popescu
shinohai: Well since you brought it up mircea_popescu: https://www.ebay.com/p/?iid=232238911890&lpid=82&&&ul_noapp=true&chn=ps
asciilifeform: turns out usg heard mircea_popescu . and decided to abolish'em entirely !!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah i guess it's just a specific case of a general meh-thing
Framedragger: (https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/files/cisco_presentation.pdf &c, for posterity)
shinohai: btw pete_dushenski Bram Cohen immediately blocked me upon (I assume) reading that post ;)

shinohai imagines mircea_popescu at top practicing yodeling with slave girls in dirndls
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in principle, sure. so far as the matter stands, one man trained a bunch of record holders and the other man went around retezat in large groups. how the fuck even dare he take 51 persons over there ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh, good try, you know? I'm not ignoring anything; I'm simply saying that no, someone is NOT competent if they die when they try to do their thing in the real world
a111: Logged on 2017-04-29 13:04 mircea_popescu: in other news, me finally stumbled on https://github.com/BenBE/kompromat/tree/master/src/phuctor.nosuchlabs.com ( BenBE being http://blog.benny-baumann.de/ )
mircea_popescu: diana_coman bullshit, yes. but this is a factual description of the world. you're gonna ignore it now ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's technical competence, not politicval competence.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don't understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don't. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's consider this : late april, you can go lower or higher. if you're competent you take your pick, if you are not competent and so can't follow the competent YOU DO NOT GO. you don't fucking go anyway, relying on your group numbers, and then of fucking course if you bigfoot about HIGHER than the other guys end up... causing an avalanche.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman apparently the greenhorns stand accused of having actually ~caused~ the avalanche that claimed the experts ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yeah they are pretty weird with that huh. /me reads
