mod6: heheh "Now
Taste
The Meat."
mod6: sure
thing, sounds good.
mod6: i've got a release vpatch up my sleeve, but no email ready for
that or anything.
that's coming within a number of days I suspect. but probably after
the 1st.
mod6: feel free
to send what you like as far as
tinyscheme.
mod6: asciilifeform: oh sorry, yeah, about
to upload
the stuff
to
the site &
then send
the emails.
mod6: ok all automated
tests for V passed.
mod6: but yah, if all final
tests work
that include
those patches, we're frozen and headed for a release.
mod6: i haven't even
touched it yet.
mod6: i need
to
test PVS a bit more actually
tho.
mircea_popescu: i
thought you pretty much had all
three lined up for it, no ?
mod6: in your opinion, should
the release include any of
the
three (from recent): PVS, Malleus, or High/Low-S ?
mircea_popescu: <mod6> you
think it'll be useful at all before we release? << nah, fgorget it. consider
the release frozen like a week or
two ago.
mod6: which is a good
thing
that
the
test picked it up.
mod6: all automated
tests should pass now
that we have your new PVS seal in
the mirror ; was failing lastnight because V
thought it was 'WILD', and it expected it
to be signed by you.
mod6: it'll contain
the fix from yesterday about
the strictness of one of my regex's when matching up seals
to vpatches;
the change
to look for
the .wot dir in
the current working directory by default (as well as .seals); and lastly has
the post-press hash checker function also.
mod6: well, hoping
to anyway.
mod6: im about
to publish V [v99996]
tonight.
mod6: ok good deal. feel free
to fire off whatever you like at
the ML, just be aware
that we may have
to re-process
the vpatches post-release.
that's all. salud.
mod6: does
that make sense?
mod6: ok you should probably wait
to run vdiff against
the changes until i've got
the release patch out
then, so you can start from
there.
mod6: im
thinking
that i'm gonna
tag
the release, and publish
the release patch soon. just hoping
that if any of it
touches
trb,
that it'll be post-release patch so
there are no conflicts.
mod6: (so far, i didn't see any
that did)
mod6: does any of it
touch any of
trb's files?
mod6: you
think it'll be useful at all before we release?
mod6: ok stand-by, going
to update
the mirror.

this exact paper in logs
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2016 22:46:24; Linus_: Did you hear about
the strategy
to subsidize miners
to stay on 1MB blocks?
mircea_popescu: but anyway.
there has
to be a limit, for quantum reasons.
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2016 21:26:18; PeterL: most memory management
tricks seem
to be directed at retaining what you want, I have never seen anybody
talk about
throwing out useless stuff. I don't know if anybody has researched whether
there is a hard limit
to
total storage space?
BingoBoingo: So it's looking like Iowa's getting snow next week. No way
this isn't good for my boy Rubio
jurov: RSA's feature
that allows bad number generators
to aect other keys in such a public way is problematic."
jurov: From
the PDF:"
The new data suggests
that, as
the body of keys grows, so does
the percentage of keys aected and
that
the simple step of abandoning 1024-bit keys for 2048-bit ones may be less eective
than desired.
jurov: "They were able
to factor 0.2% of
the keys using only Euclid's algorithm."

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 05:54:30; mircea_popescu: very simple mechanism
to ACTUALLY improve your insurance : make a pool which pays 25.25 btc for
the first block it finds each day.
pete_dushenski: eh miners are already subsidised plenty. if
they want
to mine larger blocks and fork off, for
the most part, it's
their loss.
Linus_: kinda similar how some people donate,
to keep more full nodes running.
Linus_: no, just adding some BTC, on
top of
the regular 25 btc miner reward.
Linus_: Did you hear about
the strategy
to subsidize miners
to stay on 1MB blocks?
☟︎ Linus_: pete_dushenski: Hey,
that is a nice PGP
tutorial. I also recommend GPA (Gnu Privacy Assistant)
to beginners.
ascii_butugychag: 'Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) by means of ECDH or DH Kex ... opmsg builds fine with any of
the OpenSSL, LibreSSL and BoringSSL...' << i've read enough.
Linus_: it's supposed
to be like PGP , but with Forward Secrecy, and some othe stuff
pete_dushenski: that pretty well matches my interactions with indians,
they're either chemists or dentists.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski:
they
tend
to 'colonize' rackets involving repetitive,
tedious sorts of work
pete_dushenski: is a rotating slurry of undifferentiable mud,
the kind
that wants
to be 'anonymous' online.
pete_dushenski: "Using a common system for extrapolating generations from genetic recombination,
the researchers estimated "all upper-caste populations, except [one] from Northeast India, started
to practice endogamy about 70 generations ago...
This
time estimate belongs
to
the latter half of
the period when
the Gupta emperors ruled large
tracts of India (Gupta Empire, 319–550 CE)."" << ie. upper class is genetically distinct,
the
pete_dushenski: someone must design it, yes, and
that someone also isn't in india or china, also yes. but so what ? colonies are nothing new.
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 21:24:19; mircea_popescu: what haplogrup was martin luther king ? or is such knowledge forbidden in
the united obscurantistlands.
ascii_butugychag: there's plenty india can do
that usa chokes on - such as actually producing pharma cheaply

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Nagant also frontloads side effects. ETOH lets you mortage
those costs.
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Aha. ETOH allows for some memories
to remain in
the meat. Achieving
that with Nagant is
tricky.
ascii_butugychag: BingoBoingo: nagant also works, in
that sense. not interesting.
PeterL: Imagines
the inside of
the girls mind,
there are mechanisms for
throwing out useless data
pete_dushenski: "Not only can it not be
trained, not even
to
the modest degree bravery and valor could be
trained into
the knight, but it exhibits a very active antieconomy of scale!" << applies
to 'art of forgetting rubbish' just as well.
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: ETOH work
to promote forgetting, but problems emerge because it is very non-selective.
PeterL: have you seen
the movie "Inside out"?
ascii_butugychag: there really oughta be moar work re:
the art of forgetting rubbish
BingoBoingo: Just don't make it Euclidian. Parallel lines are an anti-optimization when it comes
time
to recall shit.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Maybe you should
try building a non-Euclidian memory palace
BingoBoingo: I only remember it because I am good at forgetting other
things.
pete_dushenski: well your memory is better
than mine cuz i'd forgotten all about it. lost in
the sea of drama noise.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
That and
the drama leading up
to it. Generated lots of noise.
assbot: Logged on 05-09-2014 20:45:34; BingoBoingo: "This was my fault. While I don't
think it's impossible
to fairly cover Bitcoin while also holding some Bitcoins,
the reason
to make
these rules blunt and general, rather
than nuanced and specific, is
to ensure
there's no question about
the motivations of
the underlying coverage."
