mircea_popescu: why handle anything.
mircea_popescu: you're more than welcome to fix it.
mircea_popescu: why ? if it doesn't get juice it just blocks
mircea_popescu: ideally simply have it exposed as /dev/random
mircea_popescu: yeah. anyway, i'm thinking the best approach would actually be a kernel patch to destroy the extant random/urandom bs and replace it with fg
mircea_popescu: mod6, indeed.
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, got ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in practical terms, how do you want s.mg to use fgs until rewritten ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: mod6, really ?!
mircea_popescu: nothing published afaik.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what he's up to.
mircea_popescu: well, stupidity alwayus explains.
mircea_popescu: yes, that's the nail. the ru guy did take what was it, some sort of something.
mircea_popescu: i can't call it ; but would be no worse strategy than what's the ru guy's name
mircea_popescu: you think ?
mircea_popescu: and so yes, when he's angry his pretense fails to keep up.
mircea_popescu: when lawyer wants to test for truth, he offers guy obvious easy explanation, sees if guy takes it. if he does... he's looking for an out, isn't he!
mircea_popescu: see, that's not "one weird trick". that's how EVERYTHING works. the basic 101 of http://trilema.com/2012/strategic-superiority-a-saga/#selection-233.62-233.144
mircea_popescu: blind or no blind, french peasant isn't taking one to the head.
mircea_popescu: no, but built special walkway with sudden low ceiling, saw if they ducked.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, but what individual ? what, it seems to you #trilema is individual ?
mircea_popescu: now you tell me, how did they check ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, let me tell you a story. so during napoleon era, for the first time "general army" was introduced, before that it was all profesisonal soldiery. huge humongous legions of draft dodgers, because really now, draft ? and napoleon standing for the "reasoning" "humanism" thingee of course introduced doctors to check whether medical claims were factual (most common amongst which, blindness).
mircea_popescu: maybe i owe some thanks to these folk i don't even realise...
mircea_popescu: you know how "alt right" picked "soros" to be "the evil billionaire behind everything" ? do you suppose THAT is what prevents the "mainstream left" from identifying the evil billionaire behind their precious cuntlet losing the precious election and everything else ?
mircea_popescu: but they could try a different ineffective one!
mircea_popescu: doesn't it make you stop and wonder ?
mircea_popescu: somehow at all junctures it was always "a better choice" in imperial logic to "blame bad luck", maybe execute a scapegoat or other, than identify the goldstein.
mircea_popescu: and they will, too!
mircea_popescu: do one iota of things that work, get iota^? worth of things that brand free!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i mean consider the lengthy list of shit. sent "academician" into retirement ? raped bank new arsehole ? raped govt ministry new arsehole, and as a community project no less ? raped... mit's "media lab" new arsehole ? exposed assets, exposed toolchains, i can do whatever the fuck i please and ~NOT~ be famous.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a very interesting protection factor at work, too! if you do enough things that work, you can do plenty of things that in other people would create "brand" and be immune from it! consider the bit spyked recently dredged up, http://trilema.com/2009/niste-rigoare-pentru-mircea-badea/
mircea_popescu: STILL doesn't want to do things that work, but things that shine. well... why the fuck ? oobviously http://trilema.com/2017/yitzhaks-trilemma/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, see, this is one of the best arguments re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803989 (though the correct word is punk, ie http://trilema.com/2012/big-rock-candy-mountain/#selection-227.1-233.34 ) : dood got fucked with the brand thing, stood himself up shakily, dusted self off... and dived right back into it! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well what's the use of that!
mircea_popescu: they don't look, they work. wtf can you do with something that works!
mircea_popescu: whereas davis had less useful things -- they work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, or rather, knew how. see, murdock has "brand" or however you call the fool's gold they're only preoccupied with. they know how to steal that.
mircea_popescu: before being terminated, ALSO gainfully employed (writing nsa crapolade for "docker" -- remember, if they're not dockers, they're just pants!)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, not even worth the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692407 bullet. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is kinda what i was unknowingly reaching for, with the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803880 : more data to extract the understanding out of what looked like a promising vein. but in the meanwhile sleep reorganized observation for me and now it's quite fucking plain. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and i'm pretty sure you're exactly right, he could be into fiat again if he started filling in the magic form again.
mircea_popescu: that's my recollection.
mircea_popescu: n of the lava lamp".
mircea_popescu: then they go all http://trilema.com/2016/alexacom-or-the-measurable-web-delusion/ but seriously... "uniques" ? holy shit they're not uniques, they're either little terries or little elliots. seriously, they READ YOU ? how the fuck could they ~possibly~ have read you past the psychogenic noise scrolldown going on in front of their eyes non-stop ? exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-22#1804512 holy shit, "i have the attentio ☝︎
mircea_popescu: PAY WHO!!!???!?!?!
mircea_popescu: now how the fuck can you build anything out of 100`000`000 elliots and 10`000`000 terries ? because that's the other fucking half of http://trilema.com/2014/pushing-the-soft-tender-flesh-of-a-friend-against-the-sharp-rotating-blades-of-the-immutable-machine/#selection-967.295-971.2 "how much does the devil have to pay you to love him" problem.
mircea_popescu: because it's not just terry. the entire population of github, from http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=dgerard to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793426 and ALL shades in between, nothing, EXACTLY NOTHING but little terries running about. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: now go ahead and make it great again. HOW ? they lack the instruments with which they'd agree upon a great in the first place. collection of terries, give them coffee or not give them coffee, they'll move about like an algae bloom.
mircea_popescu: larping, yes, but not merely for fun nor profit. larping as a life philosophy.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it's become a fixation in the children ; now merge it with the church of self esteem and its holy youcandoanything, and the REASON http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1800094 ie "smart kids" always being found with their pants down acting the "man alone" part and never learning anything from the experience is pretty fucking clear. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: now, 50, 100 years ago this was a great characteristic of that maybe-one-day-a-nation conglomeration in our colonies.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i'm starting to understand a lot of things about why the maga can never be, consider the gritted, unyielding, sheer determination of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803769 ; and i've noticed my us-born slavegirls CAN NOT QUIT. even when hopeless, even when wasteful, their specific identifiable mark in whatever harem social games is they're the ones that can not fucking say uncle. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so amusingly enough, THEIR understanding of his mental issue is built entirely of his sanity. his problem is exactly the rest of what they identify. quite interesting marginal case in being so neatly split. usually there's some overlap.
mircea_popescu: that's the substance of "costs more than gf" -- resources, spent ; hoops, not jumped. "irrational" behaviour in the imperial contractual sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, but i can imagine, you know, lenghty string of ustards trying to help, where their help was of the form "we'll expend x resources if you're willing to jump through y hoops" and he refusing and them going umm... why doesn't the form thing work!!1
mircea_popescu: ckang, i did not.
mircea_popescu: you can't go around pretending like he's ok. he's not ok, nor ever was, nor can ever be, but this is not so much a problem to whosoever is willing to apply formal tests only.
mircea_popescu: ckang, no, it's when his entirely deranged mental state became a lot more difficult to "hide", in the sense usual usg.zek "hides" his being raped daily, from himself.
mircea_popescu: the other terries actually aquiesce to unprincipled exceptions, which makes them precisely just as fucking insane but entirely less remarkable.
mircea_popescu: just like everyone else on github. except more... purely so.
mircea_popescu: ckang, no, actually, all he needs is an alternate reality where solipsism works.
mircea_popescu: he has these things he'll do, he's decided aforehand, and nothing around matters ONE WHIT. now, will you pour bitcoin into his sand ? if you do ok, but to quote, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1796685 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: terry davis is exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798356 except turned up to 11. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: he ustard neet-y teenager.
mircea_popescu: let me say something rather... political here. so, an item caught my eye in one of the pastebins or w/e you put in : some guy saying "this bum cost me more than a gf". it entirely illuminated the problem to me : terry davis is JUST as much a perfect representative of the ustarded "brillian computer programmer" as http://trilema.com/2016/the-story-of-elliot-rodger-by-elliot-rodger-adnotated-part-one/ is the representative of t
mircea_popescu: and whatelse, the portland women are proper-er than the sf women and don't want the sausage ?
mircea_popescu: lmao.
mircea_popescu: ckang, well then this may work.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in what readers think of log, http://trilema.com/contact-pgp/#comment-125425
mircea_popescu: raiding is usually done in ca r.
mircea_popescu: you think ?
mircea_popescu: dude...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, but the internet ?
mircea_popescu: and magic cable ?
mircea_popescu: how'd he connect to it ?
mircea_popescu: ty ben_vulpes ; ckang : prolly by tomorrow you can have it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, hey, can i get a shared acct for hosting minigame's files etc ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is deeply personal idiocy.
mircea_popescu: yeah but it doesn't strike me at all like soviet groupshenanigans.
mircea_popescu: where's all this army of deeply interested folk giving a shit about some deeply disinteresting characters to be found... well, in the words of some bum, http://trilema.com/2018/memoranda-of-congress/#selection-305.0-305.420
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if not a full half of the aspirational 14% is firmly convinced there's MORE THAN ONE man hour / hour spent by me/usg/god/aliens/whoever specifically on their case.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, "gotta buy a new car"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804350 << as he said, blocks which have no known parent in the extant blockchain are bastards. the other concept is orphans -- blocks who have a parent in the tree, but no descendents at current height. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: e be a good guy".
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804343 << blocks are immutable by implementations ; this is both the source of the observation that "bitcoin corrupts absolutely", ie, it is superlative to anything the usg can come up with ; and the whole fucking point of the protocol in the first place. can trust evil people to do your shit, because bitcoin promises it will enforce upon them the dilemma "either be ENTIRELY impotent, or els ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the point of trusted nodes isn't "don't link to other nodes or bad things weill happen". the point is "always have these in your connection to stay sane", because a major attack vector towards bitcoin is separation, ie get two sets of nodes adrift in different realities.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804340 << approximately none. trb ran without trusted node list for years. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804329 << there can't be ; set your nick enforce to on ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if they didn't do that, they'd do "euro 5" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, it's not EXACTLY no reason. gotta keep the market churning.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804289 << lulz of all time. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or maybe just not fabulous enough.
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, heh. tv junklets you knopw\]
mircea_popescu: better film of woman as satan i do not know.
mircea_popescu: well, let me know what he thinks if he ever does.
mircea_popescu: yeahj the red dragon script is terribad, all that woman-interest bs with 4tehchildrenz etc.
mircea_popescu: that's my own explanation for myself as to what has just happened to me, for the record. "the guy thought..." in context.
