a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:44 mircea_popescu: ~if~ those people were smart enough to build the item you describe, the ~reasonable expectation~ is they'd have been smart enough to behave ~muchly variant~ from the ~actual way they behaved~ in fields much easier to observe.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 19:31 mircea_popescu: phf i expect the accumulated value of the whole pile of "secrets" is about 0. and i further expect the entire value of the whole bolix stack neatly approximates the value of my stock of pogos.

a111: Logged on 2019-01-08 18:06 asciilifeform: ( and for all i know, ro actually involved moar 'turkeydollar', as by mircea_popescu's and other accts was 'tighter ship' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty typical; consider why ro and ddr 'z80' still found in ru fleamarkets

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu makes me question the fabled indestructibility of german auto!11
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Pine grows fast and is therefore 'cheap'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: amerisads, who.

a111: Logged on 2014-09-27 17:27 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice that rms will not speak of lisp to this day. the demise of lmi cut him off from the genuine machines (there was no possibility of baking one by his lonesome, or with his band of ragged dervishes, any more than they could launch a mars mission)
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece where 'empty people make noises to fill the void in their skulls' or how did it go
asciilifeform: iirc later , someone else among us ( possibly mircea_popescu ) also wrote, and d00d finally replied with ~'let'em eat cake'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect it was a veiled laugh-to-the-bank
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doubt that it has anyffin to do with the reluctance to use it ~at all~ displayed by some pubkey-as-arsenicum-amulet folx
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to the extent anons can even speak... i dun recall shitoshit ~signing~ anyffing post-'09
asciilifeform: btw didja know, mircea_popescu , that yarvin has an rsatron in there ? possibly will be remembered as the only rsatron gnarlier/buggier than kochs's, or even microshit's
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:27 mircea_popescu: how ~the fuck~ is "nock" gonna identify-and-replace-with-jets when ginko417 is manifestly incapable of the very same task ? (or rather, for they psychologically inclined : WHY is it ginko417 imagines dealing with a jet is "nock"'s job ?)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:09 mircea_popescu: but tbh, the "stochastic convergence test" seems to me worth A LOT more than any bs "ent" ultimately meaningless "squares of pi" bs.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:10 mircea_popescu: (ie, you can construct an infinity of rng strings which'll make a given sct "falsely" converge)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:07 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-15#1887308 << this is very elegant, earlier statement of the whole "optic crypto machine" thingee
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:13 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-15#1887318 << keks. good you got out while it was still worth money.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 15:37 mircea_popescu: a) there's nothing wrong with specialisation (and especially if you figure out how to expand the ram -- which a stock of these gives you incentive to do, ie, specialisation drives competence) ;
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand , the guzman thing was even lulzier, d00d was hired to run the ~crypto~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm anticipating the whiners where 'you ~said~ you sell uncensored host, but they pulled my godaddy dns omfg!11' item
asciilifeform: oh hm where was that zombie fdr poster mircea_popescu dug up coupla yrs ago
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will do.
asciilifeform: the key end of the hose is the 1 mircea_popescu mentioned.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: absolutely, the time to start beating the drums is nao.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's why i bought'em
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: a rk + disk is about 100bux ea. << There's also a 4GB RAM model which would push the unit price up to ~150 each
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we did have some headache with the ssd, recall. the new models are in place ( iirc errrybody but mod6 has been swapped ) and seem to run cool to the touch, per BingoBoingo's observations
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is correct, without iron, no moneys
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a rk + disk is about 100bux ea.
asciilifeform: guten morgen mircea_popescu hanbot et al
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 01:17 mircea_popescu: doesn't that look suspicious.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform nao has the necessary optics that for e.g. 'FG2' and fyootoor products, we can include signed board photos.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: acceptable for nao , but i'm inclined to make 2nd expedition sooner rather than later.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do. i actually bit my elbows after 1st expedition, that i did not include the necessary gear for this in the 1st crate.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: box runs asciilifeform's kernel as of 9hr ago.
asciilifeform: i recall there was a piece where mircea_popescu threw out a raid card
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you typically do with yours ? throw'em out after 1 peculiar reset ? 2 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how wouldja distinguish via 'flow of air from rack' 2 cpus at 50c ea. vs 1 at 0 and 1 at 100.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that'd be for ambient air. if yer ambient atmosphere is 70c, this is called 'room on fire'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'is 3 tonne auto here or not' is very diff problem from 'what temperature is the red hot nail inside this 30kg crate'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i ~also~ find it peculiar your dc wouldn't have alerted you in case of thermal trip. because in general they have sensors. << There was a ground fault alarm tripped in the datacenterś fire supression system over the weekend, but the time doesn's line up with the beginning of this reset crisis.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if a dc were able to warn you re overheating cpu, they had root on yer box.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: never had a clogged fan on your watch ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind this was a ben_vulpes-baked box, i never saw inside of it ( dulap-III, dulap-spare, s-mg, s-mg-spare -- i cleaned with own hands )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3 unsanctioned, 1 planned reset
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: jury's still out
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: disks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 100% of the x86 iron in the cage is 2009-11 vintage.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't disagree, and am inclined to move it to cold spare when we get another crate in.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw crashism is more typical result of failed diddling than working.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the one concerning bit is whether indeed pizarro still owns that box or not. << This very much concerns me
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this q can be asked re any box.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 04:15 mircea_popescu: i'd like a computer where i didn't have this sort of problem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if we live to bake the fpga router thing, will be interesting to give it a ring buffer that'll hold coupla 100MB of frames, and dump'em to flash upon any unsanctioned reboot of attached irons.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun see wai not to bug upstream, but then again i dun work at reichskanzlei
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: so far all i know is that the thing rebooted without sanction, no fewer than 3x. << It breathes ever so slightly better than it did before the opening and fan check
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so far all i know is that the thing rebooted without sanction, no fewer than 3x.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: indeed i do
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: after ffa is fielded, i'ma add gmp etc carmichaelisms to phuctor.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so basically they imagine they're getting a buncha eunuchs outta the deal ? << I suspect this is an element of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 19:15 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220161766_Constructing_Carmichael_Numbers_which_are_Strong_Pseudoprimes_to_Several_Bases (guy named arnault gave example of number for which all tests up to ~300 were misleading)
asciilifeform: found the old mircea_popescu thread, btw : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-08#1722906 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: observe that you can trivially generate an arbitrary-long sequence of liars for any composite N.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 21:13 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-11#1886376 << with some caveats as to how "unrelated" (in the m-r sense of the term) those candidates must be, as it's entirely possible to generate an infinite set of lying witnesses for any composite number.
asciilifeform: i hate to disappoint mircea_popescu , but i'm all outta sheep for the haruspexy room, so cannot give odds lol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if ddos, then nao as good time as any, it hasn't afaik yet been tested, how said pipe behaves under ddos.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is entirely possible, i have not yet looked in detail.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I've only seen behaviour from trb like that when I've had some bad hardware. In particular a suspected bad SSD. I issue the 'getinfo' command and nothing, just hangs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hrm, i switch this off in my installs, but this box is a BingoBoingo creation.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al : not a planned outage, at this point i strongly suspect iron issue
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: .247 is uy1
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, neah, it's that part that I did not move over to the html server because it wasn't up to date really
