mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-29#1492583 << actually that happened in the 90s. all the jam tomorrow "web as a business" "venture capital" bs is exactly that - pivoting to try and survive the situation where consumers don't have money. pretend data is valuable and someone cares, pretend advertising is a business, get people to "invest" in this nonsense, it's a thing. ☝︎
trinque: you've observed some things can't be had for any price depending on the configuration of the world at that time
trinque: you can't just have infinite turkeys and nothing moving
trinque: or does some consumer products company somehow "pivot" to surviving a situation where consumers don't have money ☟︎
trinque: his $turkeys are all assets that aren't
BingoBoingo: I haven't seen it. Perhaps requires javascript?
phf: can just do it in this style, doesn't need to be a quality print. just a bunch of shirts with lowres tits
mircea_popescu: yeah, anyone wanna run a tmsr tshirts bidniss ? preferably someone who isn't a lazy math guy who pretends to lie to self and call it "downshifting" or w/e.
mod6: <+shinohai> Have a tshirt made with that pic of mircea_popescu in Egypt, but replace the pyramids with burning ethereum logos. << the drawing of Mr. P. that was made a while back would be a good t-shirt.
phf: half way through i realized i wasn't just trolling
mircea_popescu: phf actually this isn't a terribru idea, make shirts with the numbered tits.
phf: just pictures of all the "show your tits" girls on white t-shirts American Apparel style
mircea_popescu: wasn't it fixed ? i thought THEY WERE COMING AFTER ME!!11
mircea_popescu: yeah well that doesn't work.
BingoBoingo: Why you can't hire redditurds https://archive.is/re5Z0

asciilifeform: but it wouldn't hurt to have a historic copy.

mircea_popescu: stupid doesn't just go away. it simply dresses in the sky of the day.
phf: hmm i wonder what's english equivalent for распил. i think the word is as apropos, but just doesn't exist
asciilifeform: couldn't they walk a script for the verboten addr ~before~ running it ? or does the shitlang allow dynamic generation of addrs and you ~must~ run
mircea_popescu: i can't even.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a nononon, this isn't a count. this is THE NUMBER OF! you know how they say "i got their number" ? like that!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i gave at the common office, mr exploit, pls don't fuck me."
BingoBoingo: Well tese aren't quality outlaws
thestringpuller: Aha. "peace" is the part I didn't understand. "the prequisite" is a treaty, not a war proclamation.
mircea_popescu: item A is a discussion of what at the time was a possible outcome, something of the kind of "if we don't fortify these walls and enemy army comes over, we're fucked". this has been muchly degraded meanwhile, principally by "well, every march lord on their path has harried the fuck out of them, and so not much of an army left".
thestringpuller: I don't see a good scenario where TRB could deploy a fork i.e. "the prequisite".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check it out, the top hit is about how he wore a don't trump america jacket.
mircea_popescu: now not only you don't have to put up with her, but it's POOR YOU!!11
thestringpuller: The only cure for Chronic Bitch Dependency is learning how to control the bitch and make her behave- hit the bitch if she doesn't do what you say until you achieved desired results.
mircea_popescu: three days later alchie calls doc office in a passion. "doc, wtf do i do, i can't lift alcohol above my mouth." ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You forget today's American girl happiy makes a sandwich, but can't hold itself together enough to make it to the next room with out eating the sandwich (repeat x5 times)
thestringpuller: trinque: no. most of my female friends prefer "actual guys" you know the ones who don't live at home in their mom's basement jerking off to girls on reddit all day.
mircea_popescu: and the shit they netflix isn't even fit for in-flight entertainment, admittedly a low bar.
thestringpuller: exactly. but unattractive in the way of "get the fuck away from me I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last man on earth"
mircea_popescu: they have the option to spurn bullshit. they don't, they seek bullshit.
mircea_popescu: so : they have the option to be varied in hardware. not only they don't take it : they AMPLY eschew it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the existential, fundamental, first and foremost threat to bitcoin is emerging to be, the essentially centralizing nature of the modern human. slave's born to live in empire, so if there's a lot of slaves, there'll be an empire. once nero died it wasn't a case of "ah fucking finally, now we can go back to republic". no, it was "WE MUST HAS EMPEROR! EVEN GALBA!"
asciilifeform: that wouldn't create chorus of 'all these 5,000 nominally distinct nodes down for 20 minutes'
mircea_popescu: it didn't look terribly good. for bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: 96." | L4 : "there's no rsa collisions in the wild" ; R4 : "if you don't count the 300 or so phuctor found" and on and on and on it goes in this vein. at this point i do not expect any "common sense" held truth about any network to be any closer to reality than what miss america thinks on the subject.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 10:01 Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. keys - interesting. i don't think i was mitm'd, 13 machines and all, not that it's not possible or anything, and the machines were on the same provider, so, lol, of course possible in principle. but specific mitm's which give working unique keys? hm. but, interesting, i don't have an answer here.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492019 <<< bwahahaha A Riger Verified pool that will cause bigger blocks to be mined since he can't get anyone to do it xD ☝︎
jurov: lol i was then prolly mitm'd too.. aside from ~10 cases of obvious corruption (openssh won't even read them) i did not find any key with factor in 10000primes.txt
Framedragger: asciilifeform: maybe i did fuck up in some very unique way. don't know. oh and the ip addresses are in random order, so there's that

mircea_popescu: apparently only some people outgrow being 9, and lenat isn't one of them.
asciilifeform: (we don't remember the names of the dead in the water folk)
asciilifeform: and it - largely - didn't work.
mircea_popescu: sedol lost to a machine that doesn't even know what beans are.
asciilifeform: now we know that mircea_popescu doesn't need warez - his hdd has a knob that turns whole thing into an adder, and he simply cycles through the states until he gets a disk with the desired 1333333337 w4r3z on it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quite so. it's palpably an elephant cemetery. won't do anything ever, because it's done by an ocd clean person.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i wouldn't take cyc for anything other than a fine guide of what not to do.
asciilifeform: (we don't, of yet.)
asciilifeform: and lenat didn't is because he lacked sufficient jolt cola ? or why
mircea_popescu: that we don't have this in a box is simply because nobody wants to do any work.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so long as it isn't in an equation, ever
mircea_popescu: there doesn't exist currently any ocr package that uses a proper statistical model, and is self-trained on the text, and on all text.
mircea_popescu: no, it isn't.
mircea_popescu: it works except where people don't bother.
asciilifeform: it works except when it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: if proggy has no fucking idea modems don't go with macbeth a) it's not trained and b) everyone involved is fired.
mircea_popescu: o, really, it doesn't ?
asciilifeform: proggy has nfi that shakespeare didn't mention modems.
mircea_popescu: there's really no reason a 100% accuracy over 1mb text ocr can't be had today.
mircea_popescu: google has the patience to fuck with go, hasn't the patience to fix ocr ?
asciilifeform: (ocr, contrary to what you've been misinformed, doesn't actually work)
asciilifeform: ain't nobody gonna ocr TB of ru diagrammed b00kz.
asciilifeform: latex doesn't survive ill-forming any better than html.
mircea_popescu: seriously, this is allowed, "graphics" that aren't svg and text that's not tex ?!
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's vaguely inhuman, this. the scholar in me is constantly opressed by various shits. 1. "oh we don;t alphabet - pdf" 2. "oh you can't reference text snippet" 3. "oh we forget, what was this ? linkrot ?" and i think there's more
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: that thread wasn't even about living conditions, but about being a hermit << saw that. figured, "hey, i've got a crypt he can live in if he wants..."
trinque: I don't see how it's better than html shat in a folder somewhere
asciilifeform: mod6: that thread wasn't even about living conditions, but about being a hermit
mod6: <+trinque> sometime I could hack another field onto it; I'm not certain I like the thing (or wikis) << I don't love wikis either, but we need a place for quick docs.
trinque: they're really a response to "tards can't into html"
asciilifeform: doesn't it.
mod6: trinqueis there a way to update this URL so it doesn't contain spaces? i.e.: http://wiki.deedbot.org/The%20Real%20Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: June isn't over until it is over
mircea_popescu: "we won't bury the corpse until nsa provides a new trough"
asciilifeform: 'It's tempting to wonder if there's some cointelpro-style attack going on. Realistically, we likely do have the attention of governments who are well-funded to attack us. But first, this really doesn't look like a cointelpro op. The complaints come from people both inside and outside the Tor community, and I know some of them. And second, in this case it really doesn't matter. It's no excuse for not taking responsibility for our acti
mircea_popescu: i don't think you fully appreciate just how braindamaged this "laughing gas of the future" actually is.
asciilifeform: isn't it a constant-time op ?
mircea_popescu: they wouldn't have discoverd it exists week-and-a-half after "having a solution" and buolding consensus etc
mircea_popescu: ethereum being "smart", it's not just mempool, but also cpupool. and the "soft fork" being essentially a "enumerate badness" attempt, you still gotta check and make sure tx isn't on the verboten list. which computation you do for free, because you believe in mit, socialism and buterin. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Don't forget to change the bait or you'll zap everything but mosquitos!
mircea_popescu: wtf else, putin doesn't understand how the world works ?
mircea_popescu: libertardism. "lalala i can't hear you and words are salad ingredients"
shinohai: So it is the fault of the leavers this probablr hamplanet can't get 4,000 calories a day BingoBoingo ?
mircea_popescu: your intention don'[t matter jack shit.
phf: the one that i knew wasn't really running it movie back of hand style (or i guess it wasn't like this special thing, "where's my money bitch"). money brought was income and "he takes care of me" etc
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "special" situation where you're a pimp but that's ok because you're not really a pimp.
asciilifeform: (for complicated political reasons local telco monopoly didn't rollout)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: noftsker wasn't really an engineer
asciilifeform: (or if you're thinking of theoretically complete replacement for the rpc - it wouldn't have to be re-written, with correct dozen lines of glue)
a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 21:06 phf: fwiw we're saying same thing, but a paper doesn't need to reveal some major secrets to be worthwhile, ~this~ particular paper takes a tired and ideologically aligned "it's them eggheads and their lisp that did it"
asciilifeform: it isn't
a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 21:04 phf: asciilifeform: not at all 100% usg, that's why there was the west coast symbolics media lab, also government didn't stop buying, the contracts were bringing revenue well into the endof90s (i mean still do, but now it's life support peanuts)
