ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: do you also
try
to find where
the pictures on
tumblr come from?
ben_vulpes: thought it might've indicated some difference in
threads for archival/archaeology and emphemera
mircea_popescu: nah, dpeends if i load from log. webpage or from
the scrollback
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: is
this return
to copying of loglines instead of referencing
the log an attempt
to make life easier for
the future archaeologists by not polluting
the global
threadspace?
mircea_popescu: a bit like how well
traveled washington was. fucker slept in all beds ever found in new england.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's pretty flattering, in honesty. look at all
the
things i have
time
to do in a day!
mircea_popescu: shinohai <<< am I only person
that
thinks
this is a horrible idea? << i can't discern what
the idea is supposed
to be. glorified vps ? 9.95 a month sorta deal.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> "and enough statistics
to place myself at
the
top of
the bell curve" <<< haha good one.
ben_vulpes: shinohai: something like
that could murder
the google apps system
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mod6: if pressing is intended
to be curated by patch selection in
the patches dir, seals in
the sealsdir and keys in
the wotdir, why does "press" need
to
take a head?
☟︎ mats: i got
the joke, yo.
ben_vulpes: the
throwaway joke mats is
that
the
top of
the bell curve is entirely average, just like putting on pants in
the morning
ben_vulpes: "and enough statistics
to place myself at
the
top of
the bell curve"
mats: i know enough physics
to put my pants on in
the morning
mats: i finished Leviathan Wakes, didn't get around
to
the others, but i will now
ben_vulpes: but
the drifting
thinger in
the cabin of episode 7? 6? was hilariously bad.
ben_vulpes: for instance
the blood cloud
that collapsed when
the martian warship began its burn was pretty good
ben_vulpes: the nullg scenes are judiciously placed for effect most of
the
time
ben_vulpes: mats:
the expanse is a surprisingly high-quality-for-such-a-low-budget scifi flick
mats: there is a SyFy
thing called
The Expanse nao
mats: ben_vulpes: i remember you suggested
that i read 'Leviathan Wakes'
mats: and after some years, not sure when but under
ten, i get 48, wtf
mats: i get 24 sick days at
this new job l0l
phf: work from home and
they would not give it
to home and
that it's just life
phf: oh, a funny
thing from last years interviews. i ask for a month vacation
time (since 2 weeks is standard here, i just say 2 weeks pto and 2 weeks unpaid leave) written in
the contract, so
that
there aren't any questions. during one interview guy was
trying
to convince me how
that's bad for company and how it's a crazy
thing
to ask for, finally at
the end he started complaining
that he's been
there for 5 years and was promissed friday
phf: can't drink with devs anymore
though, it gets boring really fast
phf: at my old jobs i used
to seek out
talanted devs, and during weekend drinking convince
them
that
they should go demand a raise, it worked couple of
times.
those who would listen will immediately start moving up
the ladder, "who would've
thought". some people still reach out and
tell me about
their salary fights in
the "i
tell
them go fuck
themselves" kind of
terms. warms my heart
mircea_popescu: people not doing
that (because people are generally NOT qualified for
the jobs
they get) is
the principal reason it went
toxic.
mircea_popescu: then
they call back and well... it's a 5% more nao. just
to get
the message across.
phf: just my impression is
that it's gotten particularly
toxic. i.e. lower your rate, or we'll just go with somebody else
mircea_popescu: ironically,
they do in
their core divisions. but not about it and so forth.
phf: well, i was out of
the loop for couple of years, working for hsbc, and
those guys don't haggle over 50k
mircea_popescu: trying
to find out whether you know how much you're worth or not really at
the very least.
phf: that works for all of us, i.e. my impression is
that
the expectation was
that i would cave and
take less
assbot: Logged on 06-02-2016 13:43:34; pete_d_out: "Moreover, employers may feel
they can lowball applicants because
they believe
there is still a surplus of qualified candidates.
phf:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-02-2016#1397760 << when i was interviewing last year, was straight up
told by several different companies
that i should adjust my rate because i won't be able
to compete in
the market (that's a direct quote from on of
the hr people). one company we went
through several phone calls where different people were
telling me
that
the salary requirement is a bit high, but maybe we can work something out
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there's 73393 of
them A's, so i imagine
there's some browsers out
there
that don't do bounds checkingproperly ?

mircea_popescu goes
to direct men at work in different field now, having satisfactorily brought his contribution here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well
the whole result here is
that ~your~ 10 btc can wait for a better day.
mircea_popescu: your bias-less rng shits out n/2 ones.
they go against a message containing 3/4n ones.
they will flip n/2 items in
the message, 3/4 of which being 1s and 1/4 being 0s. you
thus end up with 3/8 old ones + 1/8 ex-zeroes for a grand
total of exactly 1/2 whoa.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: let me
try a different aprpoach, maybe
that's more comprehensible.
punkman: you can't get
the bitmap penguin after otp
mircea_popescu: i had no fucking idea
the notion
that you're supposed
to debias plaintext before otping it is even controversial.
mircea_popescu: which was
the original fucking point
that ended up in all
this weird.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform otp bias cheifly doesn't matter here, as
the same otp is delibverately used for both messages.
mircea_popescu: first plaintext counts up from 1 ;
the 2nd counts down from 65535
punkman: what's
the point of public otp
mircea_popescu: now, 64kb aren't
that much, and
the structure chosen is literally
the simplest
thing available for ease of implementation. nevertheless, a little DOES leak even so.
mircea_popescu: assay 4 : count 32810 / 32814. expected 1st lower
than 2nd. confirmed.
mircea_popescu: assay 3: count 32959 / 32964. expected 1st lower
than 2nd. confirmed.
mircea_popescu: assay 2 : count 32778 / 32775. expected 1st lower
than 2nd. infirmed.
mircea_popescu: assay 1 : count 32734 / 32743. expected 1st lower
than 2nd. confirmed.
