danielpbarron: is it not
a good idea to allow all on this directory? is it not protected in the same way the rest of wp-admin is? via username/password SESSION or w/e?
ascii_lander: ( it needs
a dr mengele job re the power cord )
danielpbarron: i shall write up
a blog post to link to them i guess
mircea_popescu: have him register himself, get
a cloak, he's silly dreaming of south california while eschewing this wonder.
danielpbarron: i meant me doing it. he's not interested in doing the whole irc thing on
a regular basis
danielpbarron: btw Darwin said he was glad some chix showed up while he was in here, so that he could give them
a warning
douchebag: Alright, I'll get another in
a sec
mircea_popescu: douchebag, for the record, this thing whereby you get
a coupla in, wait for them to be processed, get another coupla in etc is not only dumb, but against the very concept of
a batch. get all of them in, save me the trouble of having to handle n batches.
mircea_popescu: the ancient "
a philanthropist is the guy who gives me money so i can do what i was going to do in the first place".
danielpbarron: Mark 10:25 It is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of
a needle than for
a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. 26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
mircea_popescu: compare and contrast the handling of #b-
a / #trilema split and rando "incorrectly minded" etc. withdraw yourself from egregious idiocy of
a pernicious bent, sure. but...
danielpbarron: 1 Timothy 6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings[
a] of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is
a means of gain. From
mircea_popescu: yes, but it is never because of
a misread and always because of an erection. referring to the sources never fixed the latter.
danielpbarron: when you rebuke
a fellow, you should have scripture to cite
mircea_popescu: so what do you need
a translation for then, just use their string as-is.
danielpbarron: i'd like to eventually get Darwin's translation up as
a html rather than the pdf it's currently in
danielpbarron: God chooses (before they are born) who will believe. If He wants you to be saved, He can do it whether you can read or not. He could miraculously make you literate, not that such
a thing is even required
mircea_popescu: kinda why the original argument against "translating the scripture" is so strong. and yes it was
a mistake.
mircea_popescu: i can also read phf's code, "can read" is
a low standard in this context.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are
a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 18:39 trinque: pretty great name for
a pastor though.
mircea_popescu: trinque, his other misfortune is of course environmental hazards. strikes me as
a clever fellow who'd have benefitted immensely by spending his youth among people who could read the original greek texts, rather than in the mindless hive of pests "quoting" bits at each other. the functional illiteracy of the protestant church crowd wrt classic languages is patently offensive. picture "security expert" conversant in php yet una
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, you know that jewish thing, "if wealth is
a curse let god strike me down with it, and may i never recover"
danielpbarron: he does not expect
a large following, and even prays to NOT be rich
trinque concedes it's
a bias of his own, left the church young on the basis of "magic book didn't prevent lying shitbags from infecting the magic book building"
mircea_popescu: trinque, this is
a difficult point to delve into, so i'll just concede it for expediency.
mircea_popescu: but
a word to the wise : all the details aside, dear kids who dream of "revolutionizing" and "entrepreneur culture" and so on and so forth generally "usa-usa-rarara-techblabla" : it did not work for david fish, EVEN IN THE NINETIES.
mircea_popescu exposed the hand because danielpbarron doth have
a knack for ferreting out interesting cases, so
a sort of "here you go in exchange".
mircea_popescu: 5. fast forward TWO DECADES. the guy lives with
a small group in nature's own poverty in rural ok, then 5.
a. refuses ~7 grand windfall on principle grounds but 5.b. does actually show up, ie, his refusal isn't the common "nyah nyah nyah can't hear anything" sort.
mircea_popescu: 4. he spent some time wrangling around the edges of this, words were exchanged, on the solid footing of complete misunderstanding : on one hand, "i am cool therefore wtf" ; on the other hand "dude, we're in the business of frantic activity as
a cover for impotence, wtf is wrong with you".
mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent
a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly, as he himself reached 30, there was
a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 2. this item went through 4-year leadership until announted the current head (
a certain macarthur fellow). he was 30ish at the time (and is 80ish now).
mircea_popescu: 1. there's
a large, seinfeld-style (why did that guy make
a bn ? was it because he was funny, sigma funny != sigma money ? or was it becauyse he put all his effort into powerwashing any "controversial" anything from everything about him, sigma pantsuit ~= sigma money ?) church in socal ("grace community church"), like ten thousand others all over the us ("new religion revival or w/e the fuck, protestand heresysnake eating its
trinque: pretty great name for
a pastor though.
☟︎ trinque: danielpbarron: you go to Darwin_Fish's church? doesn't seem like
a half-bad guy.
trinque: nah, the actual withdrawals are one more boop of
a qr gun.
trinque: might as well say now, the next cunt that pm's me over this is getting
a week added to her withdrawal
mircea_popescu: have you been through
a few passes of this i take it ? :D
mircea_popescu: he may also have
a point, seeing how they're both in the same situation, and it behaves differently.
douchebag: I was just wondering because for CindyB it at least gives
a proper gpg message to decrypt
mircea_popescu: StephanieCx, i'm batching these, so
a whole set is going to go out every few hours.
nodehelp: that's ok that the system isn't touched, but on thebitcoin.foundation site is specified to use
a 4.x of gcc g++, can i ask if there is an easy way to downgrade gcc 6 to 4?
ben_vulpes: also register
a nick and key so that glory can properly accrue
ben_vulpes: nodehelp: it builds in its own tiny linux environment, 'buildroot', you might be missing one of the few tools necessary to get/verify/build buildroot itself on
a gentoo or an ubuntu but probably not
mircea_popescu: but really, i don't know of
a linux it doesn't work on, so if you find it say.
nodehelp: is there
a distro where trb generally 100% works on the first time?
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, Darwin_Fish, consider making
a rsa key and registering it with deedbot, then you can self voice rather than having to do this every half hour.
Darwin_Fish: I think I get the general point. "Terrorist" has become quite the catch all word and word used to criminalize
a person or org.
nodehelp: but if is not intended, what i should use on my laptop to use bitcoin in
a non bloated way?
mircea_popescu: there's
a very clear difference between those who talk to webserver via curl and those who use browser.
mircea_popescu: consider also that especioally b is problematic as trb isn';t ~really~ intended to be used in
a home environment ; and racked servers may not provide your video whatever.
mircea_popescu: afaik trb comes cli only ; you can add
a gui but
a) you'd have to write it and b) it'd necessarily introduce dependencies.
nodehelp: can i also ask: if i want to use trb i can only do it by commandline via bitcoind or there is
a way to add
a gui?
mircea_popescu: oh oh. nodehelp if you also have
a witness chain in there it may well be 15gb.
nodehelp: mircea_popescu: i know but there are various, i was too lazy to open everyone and make
a sum
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, another advantage of having
a blog is that you don't have to type everything by hand all the time. meet new people, have ready library of explanations and references. i find it QUITE empowering.
Darwin_Fish: mircea - why do you call yourselves
a terrorists org?
mircea_popescu: douchebag,
a well. we're giving them the word of cryptogod. that they scatter it... well... experimentally verifies the prophecies.
douchebag: I make them Electrum wallets which is
a proper address
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: sure i can save
a little. but the point is that the more i hustle consulting, the less time i have for making more valuable contributions to the world, like developing new crypto
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: interesting re:gentoo. im
a gentoo developer
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: yea consulting is what ive been doing for over
a decade now
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: well seems pretty clear that the future doing what im doing now is unlikely to yield aforementioned flowering sums of 2000btc (unless of course bitcoin tanks), unless
a philanthropist comes along
mircea_popescu: he maintains
a very minimal gentoo packaging, which is useful.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-14 21:22 mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-14#1799029 << anyway, i wouldn't simplify it quite to that point. obviously there's
a pull and there's
a push way to make money, and if i propose to some guy, "do x, get y" it's my push not his pull, and obviously if he wants to pull instead of waiting to b pushed aroundhe gotta do pull-y sorta things. but anyways.
Darwin_Fish: Kids pounding their head against
a cement floor as hard as they can
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, that is
a deed of
a linux kernel. like 105mb.
Darwin_Fish: I've seen that plenty as
a Probation Officer years ago
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 14:06 danielpbarron: got
a message from my former employer that they "Have
a service" and were notified of my blog post. hows that for seo? i'm not even trying to game the search
Darwin_Fish: To be frank, it was
a little hard to follow. But, that could be
a comment on my own intellect
mircea_popescu: whereas terrorist org couldn't give less of
a shit about
a weaker other org.
mircea_popescu: man acting alone is stuck with these "oh,
a conclave of idiots bent on self preservation and avoiding the lowly station their idiocy warrants them holds all the power, and i'll act as man alone confronted by governemnt".
☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of
a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
zx2c4: if secret government scientists are lightyears ahead of "entirely worthless" academics, and they have secret attacks on everything academia is currently okay with, then i guess it's game over, and we have to wait until we're at
a ripe old age to read the history books on the secret mathematics of our present age. i dont really share this point of view though. and even aside from the factual validity of it, it doesn't seem like
a psychologically
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, i wonder, are you willing to read
a story i wrote tell me what you think ?
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but your source for what god declared is
a book which
a guy wrote and some other guys maybe didn't alter (too much).
mircea_popescu: which is possibly the one point where we mostly diverge in our priors, you look upon published extant cryptology as some kind of
a scientific discipline, whereas to me it's ~gender studies for numbers.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so then what's the problem with whoredom. that they came up with their own arrangement, rather than using
a wedding ?
zx2c4: one man's hunch vs another man's? but there has been
a lot
a lot
a lot of open academic analysis on ecc for many years now and this alleged smoking gun still has not been found. so, meh.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: so from your mention of "criminal org" it seems to me that your concern is not so much the mathematical issues that are discussed in the literature, but rather
a particular history that to you indicates there must be secret attacks that only the select few geniuses at the nsa know about, and everybody pushing ecc is either in on the conspiracy or just dumber than the nsa geniuses. i guess you're entitled to this opinion -- what's
mircea_popescu: so it is not evil for man to work so that
a woman can eat ?
Darwin_Fish: No,
a man can certainly be motivated by that
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, look, think of
a number between 0 and 2, 0 and 2 exclusive. have you ? here i go, ima guess it! you thought of 1!
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so you don't believe there's
a sexual motivation in work ?
zx2c4: i think cloudflare has an ELI5 article from
a few years back about "what all the key sizes doth mean"
Darwin_Fish: He who has
a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. (Pro 10:4 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky, i get that i may seem retarded at times and in some lights, but it's not
a safe assumption.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious, as it comes from
a single source, which is
a criminal org with
a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h
mircea_popescu: my budget for
a key happens to be 4096 bits. it makes 0 difference to me that there's
a cheaper provider offering 16 bit keys. everyone offering
a key under 4096 bits is par for this test.
Darwin_Fish: 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to
a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."
