Framedragger: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/aug/18/fake-human-sacrifice-filmed-at-cern-with-pranking-scientists-suspected - allegedly cern did most of what it wanted to do and now scientists don't have anything to do...
ben_vulpes: granted, phuctor ain't that.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-24#1249839 << the other way of looking at this is that "if hosting costs are a serious/worrisome part of your bottom line as a web/mobile app operator either you fucked up and badly on provisioning, or you don't make enough money" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: wasn't a matter of choice ; much like "we'll fart our way to mars" isn't a matter of choice.
mircea_popescu: the big dark secret nobody in the "we, the web community" wants to mention is that html5 essentially failed under cognitive load. they just couldn't do it.
mircea_popescu: actually i don't even believe that can be done.
mircea_popescu: as any whore will tell you, a blowjob doesn't count if you don't make cocksucker eye contact.
mircea_popescu: (an interesting pattern this - most us made artefacts feverishly defend themselves against being used in the one way they might make economic sense. starting with the citizenry, which somehow doesn't service arab cock all day.)
mircea_popescu: then once the transition was complete and ensconced in culture, it suddenly... wasn't cheaper anymore
mircea_popescu: i mean... it won't work for alf, but maybe if he needs it a kind soul will unzip the files for him in the magic way
phf: mircea_popescu: having hard time finding relevant bits, since thread diverged many times. a long standing criticism of dpaste was "all these pastes are going to make log not as useful", when ben_vulpes released his wotpaste there was discussion about expiration and how to mitigate it. fwiw i don't remember where it went from there
asciilifeform: if 'didn't happen'
asciilifeform wasn't there.
mircea_popescu: that didn't happen
mircea_popescu: "Nothing about McMurdo improves with proximity. Up close, the station looks like a cross between an oil refinery and a struggling community college." << now i have what to link to when people ask me why i can't be arsed to antarctica.
asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won't help" and you must work with her to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen TV so as to navigate the marshy terrain that used to b ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: jesus these idiots couldn't be more transparent fi they tried.
shinohai: It's ok, he learned his lesson, won't happen again.
mircea_popescu: apparently they don't like mp.
BingoBoingo: Maybe he shows or doesn't, but at least either blogger or spam filter has been congratulated.
ben_vulpes: hrm. can't find the canonical ox and flies link
jurov: it will be non destructive. unless usg exchanges the teapot for non-borosilicate in transit, in what case you don't need it after all
mircea_popescu: i don't care.
mircea_popescu: but really, the only message that's worth broadcasting is some variation of "fuck you, you're not good enough and i don't like you."
mircea_popescu: understand : propaganda doesn't want you to agree. it just wants you to participate. dun matter so much what value you participate with, which is the point.
mircea_popescu: and i also can't read "depdfization" any other way than "depizdification"
thestringpuller: cookin' in da pyrex isn't a thing anymore?
mircea_popescu: (short version : lawyer lobby added law on books that allows them to sue anything that doesn't have a warning label on ; there's 0 enforcement from anyone but the lawyer mafia ; and for that matter no penalty for mislabeling anything ; consequently all of california is today a huge sticker reading "this item is known to the state of california to cause cancer") ☟︎
asciilifeform: tastes great with, e.g., airplanes that won't take off, pension funds that consist of /dev/null, and the rest of the rot.
asciilifeform: pyrex that doesn't withstand temperature shocks is as american as crapple pie.
asciilifeform: house 3 blox from mine burned down last week, and i didn't even notice.
thestringpuller: fires don't always have to burn down the forest
asciilifeform: 'if at first you don't succeed, maybe mineclearing is not the career for you...'
asciilifeform: and without magic init from which, the thing won't boot, or will wedge itself deliberately half an hour post-warmup (in intel's case.)
asciilifeform: it's 'what you don't know', and 'what you know that isn't so', that is the real headache.
asciilifeform: this is not a bad time to add the detail that DOCUMENTED 'fritzchips' aren't even half the problem.
lobbes: asciilifeform: I've been searching logz for thread regarding modern AMD cpu being almost as subverted as Intel's. you wouldn't happen to have good reading on the subject handy, would you?
mircea_popescu: the human body sure as fuck doesn't.
asciilifeform: don't underestimate analogue comp, when the job is to solve particular ODE, or the like
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently this wasn't as nutty as it seems - for some reason driving the plotter was a lot cheaper than actually having the machine compute the integral. i dun recall the specificx.
asciilifeform: ain't much 3d in computer, thestringpuller
mircea_popescu: (no, "tits" aren't something to offer.)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it's very simple : if the girl has anything to offer, the "disney princess" act is actually holding her back, and she'll drop it as soon as it's safe ; if she doesn't have anything to offer - ain't no one got time for that.
mircea_popescu: just can't get a foot over this guy can i.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you probably would have better luck deprogramming the disney princesses. I haven't seen it personally done tho.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the other one almost ended up in scenario where a girl burned down his condo, when she went unstable cause "My needs aren't being met".
thestringpuller: just didn't know if there is a lab I should do to learn the process better
mircea_popescu: es. You see a thick layer of dark brown jam-like material and think, this couldn't possibly be caramel, there's just too much of it. And so worldliness leads you to great giant bites and then disaster." << this is very much on point.
mircea_popescu: "Dulce de leche is a culinary cry for help. It says "save us, we are baffled and alone in the kitchen, we don't know what to do for dessert and we're going to boil condensed milk and sugar together until help arrives". This cloying dessert tar is so impossibly sweet that you wish you were ten years old again, just so you could actually enjoy it. It is everywhere. There is a special dulce de leche shelf in the supermarket dair
asciilifeform: ory wonders take on a second, clandestine life under advanced socialism. The local plumber who needed a new piston rod for his Fiat 126p certainly didn't mind if it happened to be machined out of elemental titanium to a tolerance of 0.05 microns, and the next time a pipe froze you could count on him to show up bright and early. In this context of creative craftsmanship and mutual aid the government had only itself to blame when illeg
asciilifeform: 'One reason you don't want to cross Eastern Bloc scientists is that they are by necessity handy people. Operating in a barter economy, even the most unworldly theoretician learns certain marketable skills. Besides the inevitable need to jury-rig spare parts for their own experiments, scientists have to horse trade for basic conveniences like anyone else. And so it was not uncommon to see ultraprecision machine tools and other laborat
asciilifeform: a wide audience. We couldn't use a weather balloon, however, since it would be easy to check where it had come from. ...'
mircea_popescu: the only thing "i want more than 4096" says is "my crypto is broken". so fix it, don't make the broken longer.
mircea_popescu: sadly bigger keys wouldn't do much for gnupg.
mircea_popescu: take that, white supremacists everywhere : all white argentina is as bad as an all-fungus erection. i came here for the all-black argentina and didn't even know it at the time ;/
mircea_popescu: in any case : if you're going to genocide an entire fucking skin tone, do me the general courtesy and don't turn around dressed in a plush costume of their dance.
Framedragger: (i recall reading his post on polish astronomy pirates, wasn't aware this had happened: http://idlewords.com/2007/04/balloon_pirate_radio.htm ; and http://idlewords.com/2007/04/tv_solidarity.htm)
Framedragger: of the argentinian-flavoured posts of his, this one is apparently well-regarded (haven't read yet) http://idlewords.com/2006/04/argentina_on_two_steaks_a_day.htm
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hmm maybe but i don't think so - i think he lived / spent some time there in the past
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 17:20 Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just to me, any dreams of "global anarchist revolt" *are* lost on me (i'm terribly naive but not *that* naive). personal responsibility and individualism (vague word, i know) are necessary conditions. and.. yeah, i don't have much hope for humanity, given that...
mircea_popescu: all these bullshit knobs attached to nothing / nothing useful / nothing important, while the ACTUAL important parts aren't exposed.
trinque: makes me suspect that reflecting upon one's actions evolved much later than this mindless imitation of what didn't kill some other guy *today*, and that most walkers entirely lack the former.
PeterL: well, didn't work on mine, I had to grab an older version
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this bs just can't fucking stand, how someone can sleep at night thinking "hey, i'm a maintainer!" atop THAT codebase is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: there's a pile of incidental nonsense (such as min length for name but not password hurr ; such as 2.0.30 current doesn't even fucking compile, such as etc) that shouldn't disappear under "oh, mpi"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sha512 and cut to be defined by user ; with the caveat that if they don't produce a min of 258 bytes / 257 258 bytes user is taking life in his own hands. we provide defaults (keccak , "take first nth bytes" respectrively). key size NOT to be defined by user ; tmsr-rsa keys are al 515 bytes long.
Framedragger: sweet jesus, i don't even.
mircea_popescu: so when feeding the prime generator, it doesn't just feed ap ointer, but unwraps the thing through mpi-something
asciilifeform: ( aaaaaanyway my ORIGINAL aim when i wrote the tester, was to look at what happens at 4096 and above. which i haven't even done yet ..! )
mircea_popescu: anyway, with your code i don't get your results.
asciilifeform: 2 ain't 32 tho.
mircea_popescu: that 40 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 / 41 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ain't goin' nowhere
asciilifeform: i'ma let one of you fellers tell me when i wake up why 11 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 also didn't happen
asciilifeform: see folks, this is why i didn't qntra this yet, dun wanna pons&fleischmann it.
mircea_popescu: atm i can't takle the aggravation of bulding anything.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm giving up on this bs. gnupg 2.0 doesn't even exist, contrary to nonsense noise on social media.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the x works.
mod6: *can't
mircea_popescu: so 2.0.22 can't generate a key and 2.0.30 can't compile.
mircea_popescu: you don't properly appreciate the chain of braindamage.
asciilifeform: it will pull the deps you didn't tell ./configure about from the various pestholes they normally end up in.
asciilifeform: if no makefile, it didn't get ./configure'd.
asciilifeform: again it isn't in gpg !
asciilifeform: so the lunacy isn't even CONTAINED in it
asciilifeform: and this isn't even the koch scenario.
asciilifeform: aaah did i ever mention that gcc 5.x won't build gpg 1.4.x ??
mircea_popescu: i couldn't have said it better myself.
mircea_popescu: it was all published in "i can't believe it's not a journal"
mircea_popescu: mod6 because whatever inept handler was passing them the talking points didn't even have the modicum of know-your-bizness to get the actual number.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> it isn't fixable while conforming to the rfc. << ah right. ugh.
asciilifeform: it isn't fixable while conforming to the rfc.
mod6: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2016q3/000395.html << wtf. this guy doesn't clearsign these emails
asciilifeform: afaik koch didn't use zimmerman's code.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523516 << i don't. ☝︎
asciilifeform: it isn't, granted, impossible to optimize this lookup with pre-index
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 19:59 mircea_popescu: but it's certainly quite deep. the vermin doesn't merely aim to a comfortable existence, but more importantly to a memory-less situation.
mircea_popescu: so now back to the issue : we have some semblance of defense against what is in fact a universal problem ; they don't, and are in denial. as per the cannonical expression of this situation, http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/#selection-147.267-153.105
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523293 << by the way, i don't think the implication of that discussion can't possibly be understated. for instance, it is a common etatist criticism of "what they call bitcoin" so really, tmsr, that "everyone running a business has an incentive to eventually run so eventually will" sort of thing. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but why the red ones majesty ? well... if i get hurt, the troops won't see the blood and won't lose heart.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523127 << wasn't a star wars reference ; it was a concordat of worms reference. you know, with the guelphs ghibelines et all ☝︎
