mircea_popescu: to be sure, i don't think you're making a weak case. im leaving the matter open, at least for a while, can you live with that ?
asciilifeform: yes i can think of a contrieved situation that calls for one. but no i don't want it in the rack next to the ordinary ones.
mircea_popescu: i don't carry around all my rifles all the time, to take a leak, etc. i can't.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't take 32 chars you don't belong here.
mircea_popescu: which is why i read frege, and i don't read obama.
mircea_popescu: because i don't. it's eaten >9k fathoms of cable and we plumbed no bottom yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't care about the fucking shrems involved. we know they're smegma.
mircea_popescu: "<Socal> Ah ok I don't know about FIBRE I was simply speaking on the SATCOM portion"
ben_vulpes: i...don't follow
mod6: phf: fwiw, i don't see a111 in my current /names list.
mircea_popescu: um. "The goal is to turn peaceful protests violent, and spark a Civil War." i don't get it, how is this a bad thing ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, if you have satellite you already have internet ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-14 17:44 mircea_popescu: "N must be 64 because at some point i nthe past a 64 bit machine was released and we care ; N will not have to be 128 in the future because even though an 128 bit machine will probably be released in the future, we don't understand the future and consequently do not care"
mircea_popescu: "N must be 64 because at some point i nthe past a 64 bit machine was released and we care ; N will not have to be 128 in the future because even though an 128 bit machine will probably be released in the future, we don't understand the future and consequently do not care" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't mean the disk size of the 8ball, i mean the size of the largest prime in it
mike_c: stan's theory for a mesh networked internet at least, I don't remember him proposing it for computing
mod6: i've been optimistic though; know you've been busy. don't hesitate to drop us a line tho!
mike_c: i know, right. It's frustrating prioritizing time. Didn't have time to hang, definitely not to work, so felt weird dropping in once a month and saying "hey, haven't done anything, don't have time to do anything" ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: nah, there certainly aren't secrets (that i know). i don't know what's been written on the subject, but clearly everything's obvious to dedicated observers. my point is that some things are purview of journalists and historians.
mircea_popescu: guess what... "I don't see the appeal of startups at all. I have never been a gambler. big companies allow me to get paid well while not really doing much work A++"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-10 21:46 edivad: in the case of segwit, this means that trb won't care about segwit blocks and as long as they will complies with the "hard rules" (I really don't know how to explain myself better) they will be accepted?
edivad: in the case of segwit, this means that trb won't care about segwit blocks and as long as they will complies with the "hard rules" (I really don't know how to explain myself better) they will be accepted? ☟︎
mod6: <+shinohai> mircea_popescu: The cmake in Debian/Ubuntu repositories used to have that pthread bug, first time I built a trb with `V` that happened. << i don't remember ever having this issue fwiw
mircea_popescu: PeterL + padlen = min(keya.l, keyb.l) - 1 # make sure that the strings will not overflow the key mods << i don't get it, why do you have variable length keys ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but it ruins the security of the scheme, as i don't expect you will be sending pings to ips associated with bogus keys ?
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't believe the somewhat more cl is such a problem.
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-09#1696147 << I don't think we need to do a hash on the data, it is already xored with the random string ☝︎
asciilifeform: cut it. like procrustes, or into independent subsystems, i don't care how
asciilifeform: i don't know of any hard, tangible reason to avoid it.
mircea_popescu: don't even have to, but consider the context. yes "it's what rsa is", that's what i'm checking, that he knows.
mircea_popescu: i don't maintain btcbase ; phf does.
BingoBoingo: lol "M. Poopscoop provides a solid foundation to comedy gold. With the current pace of events, in particular coinbase and the DPR trail he doesn't get as much laughs as he used to. I don't have the impression that is going to change anytime soon with the comedy features at an ATH." << The studious ignoring highlighted
mircea_popescu: i dunno dumbsticks, maybe youy don't make a fool of yourself in prose.
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose either him or bitcoin or anything else talked about is related to the piece. the whole item is matt levine being his usual judische insolence self, whereby he imagines he can talk out his ass and he won't hang for it because "someone had to say the alternative thing".
phf: i understand the reversal (and it's a neat one) but i don't see how it's supported by anything but itself. you're basically saying that "oh someone's drowning, that's not my brother, fuck im" is what's happening, where's i'm saying "nothing's happening of note, oh it's my brother drowning! i should help him" is what's happening
phf: it's in the statement of the prisoner's dilemma, "defect" to the hypothetical inquisitors by betraying the other prisoner (i know that the terminology used introduces interesting connotations within the soviet regime, but i don't think that's the intent)
mircea_popescu: i don't see why they'd retire.
mircea_popescu: but that was the glamor : "honey, you don't suck cock because you can't, not because you don't want to ; but even if you sucked cock, and even if you were extremely good at it, it'd still take you months to manage what i can do overnight if i fucking feel like it".
mats: i don't follow at all
mircea_popescu: i don't specifically recall 168000-168002 being a heavy load in that sense
mod6: Look. First off, no I don't believe we ever found the cause of this. I remember pulling my hair out trying to figure it out -- there are logs indicating as much.
phf: i don't remember every suggesting anything remotely similar. my suggestion would be to debug it, and solve the problem, rather than "mp's fix somehow magically resolves it"
asciilifeform: mod6: i elementarily don't have the time.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, how is it not legal to buy a fucking tool ?!
a111: Logged on 2017-08-03 17:51 asciilifeform: ... "I've spoken to the US Marshals again and they say they have no record of Marcus being in the system. At this point we've been trying to get in contact with Marcus for 18 hours and nobody knows where he's been taken," the person added. "We still don't know why Marcus has been arrested and now we have no idea where in the US he's been taken to'

mircea_popescu: anyway, the idea was, restaurants don't work like apple stores, there's a "concept store" etc. they work more like music acts i guess.
phf: the later, in fact that little snippet of quails piping in reminded my why i don't spend time on bolix.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it was ever any good.
mircea_popescu: i don't see this in pravda.
phf: maybe it helps with a local carrier? "i was at this party with such and such" works on people who don't usually go to parties with such and such
phf: well, i don't exercise to stay skinny though, i don't have problems with that. it's more like that scene from Highlander, where they run on the beach just because they are ridiculously fit and it feels good. if i don't do any of these things, i start feeling like a modern man, slow and broken.
mircea_popescu: whereas i was in my best shape in my 20s also : i ate steak for breakfast, three deserts a day, i don't think i ever went to bed before ingurgigating 4k calories and i was mostly so skinny, if i laid on my back in swim trunks i could see my own dick.
danielpbarron: i don't know that i'm qualified to take lead on such a thing, as knowledgable on the subject as i may be. And i have a bad habit of losing track of projects that i'm not super confident about
phf: mod6: slow start of day. i ate too much pelmeni last night before bed, so now i'm groggy and don't want to exercise. it's a vicious cycle!
asciilifeform: most particularly you don't need writable storage. i'ma make a demo box with 'p' and no nonvolatiles.
mircea_popescu: i don't think niggers & pantsuits got so badly humiliated by anything in history. bitcoin rocks lol.
asciilifeform: anyway 'translate this' gamez don't beat harem method, noshit.jpg. but they beat learning by reading spam, which is how i did, e.g., ro
mircea_popescu: phf i had to google this hill dood, and i still don't know who he is.
mod6: obv. we don't know yet, but if that isn't the "we've reached a perm plateau..." statement of our times, i don't know what is.
mod6: Also, maybe I'm wrong. Yellen said ``I don't believe we'll see another financial crisis in our lifetimes...''
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it is ever so slighlty strange that all those zealots of brain expansion don't apply the procedure to more easily replaced item. "this is my car ; i ... expaned its cylinders. this was my blender ; i ... expanded its vase. this is my bed ; the reason it consists of four chunks of poliurethane is that i expanded its surface" and so on. << They DO this
phf: i actually don't know if it's synthesis or an extraction because didn't read the whole thing, but i thought that there's a synthesis step further in

phf: i don't remember the context of the conversation, but it's been on my desktop for a while, presented here for the lulz
mircea_popescu: i don't fucking understand this nonsense. they know smoking kills, and still smoke. this -- i can see. they know alcohol is bad for you, yet still drink. so do i. they are aware television ruins your eyesight, and still watch it. i don't, but surely not for that reason.
BingoBoingo: <User705> On both ends lulzy the whole thing of you now own things I don't really own and the plaintiffs asking to get back a valuable thing that wouldn't be worth shit if you could get it back that way. The cryptsy dude should just send the court a letter stating I release all rights to those addresses to you as a satisfaction of judgement. Best of luck. << Nah, this is how "family court" works

mircea_popescu: as long as i don't read with my ankle i'm fine.
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-17#1671683 << In other news, apparently coolant dyes don't mean anything anymore << ah. well, i guess my car knowledge has fallen off since 96 ☝︎
phf: oh i was just taking a piss, because of asciilifeform's reaction. i don't think you have to go esoteric. i don't know of any books, but early lisp related research had plenty of "metaphysics of computing" papers of varied quality that will probably be easily demolished by any real philosopher. i don't know your level of knowledge but perhaps a "introduction to programming" book would do
ag3nt_zer0: hmmmm ok phf and asciilifeform thanks very much... I am thinking I don't even know what a computer is, philosophically... not grokking the fundamentals of LOGIC and physics - fish in water... what the hell IS a computer I guess I need to find out
phf: i don't understand ecc :(
ag3nt_zer0: perhaps its out of my current range of understanding, but might someone point me in the direction that I may grasp how the hell a keypair created on an airgapped computer has relevance in the actual online network...? Applied Cryptography (blue) is en route so perhaps that will help but in meantime thought I would ask here as no luck with searches - don't even know what terms would bring that up...
palatine: i got a question for you, if you don't mind answering, did you plan trilema as a literary opus by the very start or sorta did it grew out on its own way?
phf: i don't know if that's the case, that's just my guess. but you are doing fixed size allocations though, and we had threads about it
mircea_popescu: ok, here's a brief journal. tried to pick a topic, which is a problem i don't have a solution for. heuristically picked "computers", inspected some entries, found them to be mostly minutia a la http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/disable_irq_races.html or else very brief and unstructured accidental likbezn a la http://yarchive.net/comp/caches.html
lilpbutterfly: Thank you mircea but i don't think that could work for me. I'm not ready to show face at least no public
lilpbutterfly: Yes, i can show it to you but i don't really want it published
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-23#1689571 << no, i wouldn't bother. people who dump privkeys on pastes don't have any biz. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: am i the only one doing chicks that don't specifically expect to or want to come every time ?
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly want to be as flexible as a vixen willow in any case.
mircea_popescu: possibly ; though i don't think i'd use this.
mircea_popescu: speaking of whch, i so don't fucking understand why ~all female cosmetics don't come in dildo packages anyway ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe they just don't happen to have the magic one. it's my story an' i'm sticking to it till ave1 pops back in.
phf: so reading pelevin back then might've had a very different effect from reading him now. chapayev and pustota then blew my mind because i read it when it came out and it was very present time, but his 2000s stuff i don't get at all (because i read it in u.s. perhaps), and some things didn't age that well.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't actually recall his role in the anvin affair
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i literally, and entirely, don't give a shit what happens tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: i don't care what happens tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit if it's 0 or -0.01
mircea_popescu: i still don't follow this. so : there's a chickfield. upon this chickfield you run a transform. it results in either all of them dying or some useful slavegirls surviving.
mircea_popescu: i don't see this. write it out ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 15:19 mircea_popescu: and entirely unrelatedly : anyone willing to stand up an irc bot for me (as a service for hire deal) and expose some kind of programmable interface that can read messages to it, process and push out a reply ? bonus points if i don't have to learn crazy-shitstick-"$modernlanguage".
mircea_popescu: i really don't give a shit what anyone wants.
mircea_popescu: "i have boxes that don't respond to unknowns and no way to make unknowns known can has solution ?" alfian style problem.
mircea_popescu: "I'm now an HTML coder at a startup in San Francisco. The &ldquo;World Wide Web&rdquo; has enabled me to crawl out of my debt-hole and bootstrap myself into the lower middle class. For the first time in my adult life, I can afford to <b>eat</b> in restaurants where I don't<b> work.</b" << if anyone's curious or keeping score, THIS is what impels all the dizzy dorks of today. their very own VHS tapes, if you will.
asciilifeform: i'm almost surprised they don't assume orbit
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: makes my lips numb, i don't really want it in the house.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686392 to this point : depends how much you're worth. if you're worth nothing, then you are thereby "safe" in this sense, that while protein rich i still don't eat the moths in my house. ☝︎
ag3nt_zer0: asciilifeform... I just mean there is a lot of noise and this place seems to be the clear signal... and I say "seems" simply because I don't understand it as well as I would need to dispose of that qualifier
