mircea_popescu: so yes, a correctly implemented vtron has no history file notion.
mircea_popescu: aanyways ; i agree with trinque in that the "history file" needs not be considered by the v implementation as anything in particular. it's a usage convention not a special case.
mircea_popescu: esthlos> looking to cement understanding: with current V, file-level merges are impossible << huh ?
mircea_popescu: in other news : bad teacher (cameron diaz doing her usual fare) is actually pretty good. racoon eyes not giving a shit, very 1990s hipster highschooler aesthetic.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in weblulz, "ad by Scry Were building a community of people who can predict the future. We are looking for people who can predict the future, possibly better than experts can. Join Us at Scry."
mircea_popescu: well, pneumonia is still a perfect way to die, even today. so yes, immediate response is necessary an' appropriate. but bear in mind that biseptol+paracetamol is field medicine, once back in town you're really supposed to go to a hospital and have some tailored cocktail made.
mircea_popescu: that said, you should prolly still see a doctor if you actually suspect you had pneumonia ; the risk is survivant infection, gotta make sure you actually cleanse the bugs not merely reduce them to livable level.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yup, it's both a) the ideal medication for the sort of cold / gonorhea and b) readily available in sane lands.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-06#1810463 << in other shit you won't believe : girl cleanned out her purse, as it was getting heavy. produced as a result a satchel of coins, which she shows me, "check this shit out". "whoa, that's like... almost a kg. go weigh it, i'm curious." so she goes weigh it, and the scale says... 877!
☝︎ mircea_popescu: entirely the source of the vague spasms misrepresented by pantsuit into "public support for the electoral process" and "representative legitimacy" -- dorks who literally imagine they earn their 4 years' living by putting down an x once.
mircea_popescu: there's just this massive class of entirely spurious sacks of shit, want to "participate in leadership" for a living. nothing else, they earned their keep at the ballot box.
mircea_popescu: may be actually the best thing for nsa anyway. let people use the website.
mircea_popescu: then a "court-ordered" whatever the hell takes three weeks because the only person that even knew what an index is in the entire org quit over not wanthing to wear the corporate tshirt at the corporate event and so on.
mircea_popescu: which are then specifically enumerated (yes, in an excel spreadsheet), with the respective associations, and then stored in a fucking "safe", ie a spurious hunk of metal that'd do nothing in any case.
mircea_popescu: believe it or not, empire still runs on excel, empire still prefers the list 1, 3, 5, 7 to the generator n*2+1.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not (as your purity seeking mind would prefer) one true magic bojum.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i meant yubi co, by producer, not whatever random chinese plant spitting these out and making the only money for the only actual economic activity involved.
mircea_popescu: whereas fucktarded importance-seeking "investors" of customer tend to imagine this makes them less likely to sink.
mircea_popescu: generally, producer doesn't want to be stuck with them.
mircea_popescu: i suppose next someone cracks open one of these fetlifes, can dump the yubikey set this way. tho... very roundabout way of ghoing about things -- could as well just list the privkeys.
mircea_popescu: understand how "yubikey" works : hitlerist website buys a boatload, extracts pub/privkeys, sends to losers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, but they only distribute it to hitler's minions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, tedious to get the pubkey out of shit like yubikey tho
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in nitpicks today : if phuctor.nosuchlabs.com then also fuckgoats.nosuchlabs.com neh ?
mircea_popescu: as a general rule, if it's satisfying, it's been taken.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the proper sources of tmsr hardware are, in order, a) confiscated usg hardware and b) its own iron outside the reich. that 2017 ended with 0% a and 0% b, and 2018 will likely end with 0%a and whatever%b has no bearing on this : there's always 2019, there's always uci, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem avoidable. Framedragger_ came and went, maybe the next one and maybe even the next after that. but eventualy it's getting settled, like everything else.
mircea_popescu: hey, what other driver of progress, in republic as empire alike, can there even be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ah, so not even a mn ? alright. aaand what's your prediction ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so what's your prediction re the github set ? how many items even in there ?
mircea_popescu: i basically hope we keep losing it. seems the more indermeddling, the stronger the republic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you know, last time we relocated phuctor there were significant gains. this time, even more significant.
mircea_popescu: maybe time to add "factors of a single modulus" stat to stat page ?
mircea_popescu: right you are ; i was missing that particular edge of braindamage from my mental model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't take my meaning. there can't be at the same time the case that a) "the cardinal of the set of factors is 259" and b) "419 in
http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/419 denotes the 419th factor". because if you have a 419th factor, howsoever serialized, the cardinal of the set of factors must be at least 419.
mircea_popescu: the only stable solution is when 50%+1 of all energy production goes to mining ; there's absolutely no space for "alternate" coins other than an expensive luxury early on.
mircea_popescu: except with handpuppets and blockchains. but otherwise, same thing.
mircea_popescu: "bch". that thing where some busker in san francisco declared himself "emperor of america".
mircea_popescu: so then you know nobody took the bitcoin crash lulz seriously.
mircea_popescu: fromdeedbot, not reliably. why not get a client / bouncer set up ?
mircea_popescu: mkay. don't do the join/part thing, it pisses people off.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, my question to you is : if there's "Factors Shared by Two or More Moduli: 259" reported on the stats page, yet the factor index goes to 419 (ie, I can see
http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/419 ) then what the hell's going on ? are there 259 or 419 factors ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Moduli Broken: 2489 << asciilifeform yeah totally, this did more in a few days than the old one did per month or two.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, bitcoin's natural value is somewhere in between 150% and 300% or so of the M3. so yes, i see bitcoin price exceeding the aggregate cash value of most countries.
mircea_popescu doesn't know much about mineral survey, but oil at least, assays are all >100m.
mircea_popescu: mother[m], but they'd get very superficial samples neh ?
mircea_popescu: see what machine exposes in .well-known/ ; and what it says on 443 just as well as on 22 or w/e.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re hunt, i can't imagine why one'd just do either ssl or ssh. gotta do both really at the same time, why not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, ima try an' write this up after the two weeks. unless you want to ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i suppose the fact of the matter is, as keys get added the likeliness of broken moduli staying secret drops... which may account for the seeming density increase.
mircea_popescu: factors 236 << check that out! it practically doubled it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you mean a fresh sks dump ? are we running a server or how did that go ?
mircea_popescu: funny how the "journalists" with "interests" are all covering the various broken ssh keys in the wild.
mircea_popescu: aha. so this is covered for what, about 2 weeks (tm) ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i suppose after the jurov set is also fed a new fermatting is in order ? considering there's a lot of new numbers to play with.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fact that between 4th of may and 6th of may it churned ~2mn moduli and cracked 76 is, in the terms, context and for the mind of us limp dick "researchers" nothing short of staggering.
mircea_popescu: much more productive in terms of new-factors density, huh.
mircea_popescu: that's +76 moduli, +50 factors (35% increase). a most interestign crop.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, i thought you were discreetly suggesting not to try.
