ascii_field: or am i mistaken
that you noticed
this, earlier.
ascii_field: notice
that nobody who needs something expensively reversed needs strangers for anything
ascii_field: and ~now~ possibly he also gets why i am chained
to my meatwot
mircea_popescu: whether
they're any good or
this good or good i nany sense is aside, and really not
the point.
mircea_popescu: again - everyone
to whom
this would be useful has own re folks.
mircea_popescu: all
the derps
that
this'd be interesting
to are essentially on
the same side of
the same market : wanna make money (sex) out of
their "skillz" (having a cunt)
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <jurov> guess i should learn
to submit such bits while
they're hot myself << Please do.
mircea_popescu: wh ythe fuck would
they ?!
they need
to see another cunt like you need a hair in your yoghurt
BingoBoingo: <jurov> if BingoBoingo aims
to demask sordid state of
the IT "industry", describing
the intel mandatory rootkit would do more
than failed windows port of some obscure game <<
This has
to go "bigger"
mircea_popescu: you are essentially going "i wonder why nobody at
the all-girls catholic school is willing
to have sex in exchange of footage of other girls in
the shower".
BingoBoingo: <jurov> BingoBoingo: how is
the batman exceptional? << Dollars sunk into broken software.
ascii_field: it is a discussion of a very unlikely
thing. i can't picture why anybody would order
this.
mircea_popescu: obviously
this is a discussion at
the wrong end of "everything costs more and
takes longer"
type of process.
jurov: btw, sounds weird
to me
that no one'd pay 100k
to
try for such potential
treasure
ascii_field: i must also point out, out of ordinary scientific integrity,
that
there could be no guarantee of finding buried
treasure in
that blob.
mircea_popescu: 6 months,
tax free, self directed costs more
than one year, pre
tax, have
to commute sort of job ?
ascii_field: jurov: we're
talking about 6 mo.
to a year of full
time wizardry.
ascii_field: i'd put
together a formal quote if i had
the least reason
to
think anyone seriously were asking.
jurov: what if S.NSA would wish
to?
ascii_field: but it's a bit
thick for 'after dinner hack.'
ascii_field: if someone pays for
this
to happen - it will happen. right here on my desk
mircea_popescu: publish
that, let me get my money's forth for all
the "bulletproof" bs qntra is on.
ascii_field: conceivably one could determine
the actual instructions executed by
the me coprocessor with dpa
ascii_field: the interesting bit is
that
the 'me'
turd is not encrypted in
the usual sense of
the word
ascii_field: now, if, e.g., jurov dusted off his electron microscope & reversed
the blob, ~that~ could be nyooz
mircea_popescu: completely validated in
the majesty of Being.
The hero
transcends life with its peculiar blind spot and for a moment rises
to a glimpse of
the source. He beholds
the face of
the father, understands—and
the
two are atoned."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ntered elsewhere (Spider Woman, Blessed Mother); and with
that reliance for support, one endures
the crisis—only
to find, in
the end,
that
the father and mother reflect each other, and are in essence
the same.
The problem of
the hero going
to meet
the father is
to open his soul beyond
terror
to such a degree
that he will be ripe
to understand how
the sickening and insane
tragedies of
this vast and ruthless cosmos are
mircea_popescu: utside of
the bedeviling god's
tight scaly ring, and
the dreadful ogres dissolve. It is in
this ordeal
that
the hero may derive hope and assurance from
the helpful female figure, by whose magic (pollen charms or power of intercession) he is protected
through all
the frightening experiences of
the father's ego-shattering initiation. For if it is impossible
to
trust
the
terrifying father-face,
then one's faith must be ce
mircea_popescu: Campbell: "Atonement consists in no more
than
the abandonment of
that self-generated double monster—the dragon
thought
to be God (superego) and
the dragon
thought
to be Sin (repressed id). But
this requires an abandonment of
the attachment
to ego itself, and
that is what is difficult. One must have a faith
that
the father is merciful, and
then a reliance on
that mercy.
Therewith,
the center of belief is
transferred o
jurov: guess i should learn
to submit such bits while
they're hot myself
jurov: if BingoBoingo aims
to demask sordid state of
the IT "industry", describing
the intel mandatory rootkit would do more
than failed windows port of some obscure game
mircea_popescu: mostly on
the grounds of being 100% stolen from cambell and co, but anyway.
jurov: and saying
that vuln in
truecrypt management utility makes whole
thing "fatally flawed
to an unusable extent" is...
jurov: if it had linux port, it could excessively swap or crash
the kernel via gpu
turd,
too
jurov: BingoBoingo: how is
the batman exceptional?
mircea_popescu: damned
thing keeps changing, we started wanting
to fix bitcoin
ascii_field: depends what kind of nut we want
to crack, no ?
mircea_popescu: again : if you're willing
to do
that
TO BE SAVED from adversity in
the field, why even bother
taking
the field! just continue
the paradigm.
ascii_field: and yes,
this is a kindergarten summary, and yes, if somebody pays for it, i can go and
teach 'theory of computation' where we do 'symbol', 'language', 'formal automaton', etc. as rigorously as we want
ascii_field: what's wrong with, e.g., 'program' == 'sequence of symbols, each of which corresponds
to one particular action'
mircea_popescu: the problem of examples (symbols, generally, whichy is what
they are) is
that everyone looking at
them understands
their own
thing.
mircea_popescu: as opposed
to illustrating what you see of
the world with examples.
ascii_field: and what better example can
there be of illustration of
the concept of 'program'
than a music box ?
mircea_popescu: that's how we got in
the fucking mess in
the first place, if
that's all you wqanna do how about we just microsoft.
ascii_field: so we can go
there if we like. or
to van kempelen's musical boxes if we must.
ascii_field: though
telex existed in
the 30s,
there are nazi examples preserved
ascii_field: we are still emulating
the vt100, which in
turn emulated
this simple machine,
telex.
ascii_field: recall
the
thread about
the line feed characters ?
ascii_field: because apparently it is 1948 again and we need
to
ascii_field: what 'nominalism', it's a physical recipe
to make
the correct hammer fall
mircea_popescu: "by
the power invested in me i hereby call him my 00000boyfriend! all is well now!"
mircea_popescu: o i see. nominalism gonna save you from
the buttrape ?
ascii_field: before any of
this, it was a 'program' for an ibm selectric
BingoBoingo kinda with alf in
that
Trilema
text kinda needs compiled after reading
to really be understood.

the n00b put in front of von neumann machine is
told
that
the deterministic circuits will behave... well, deterministically.
then five minutes later he learns about
threads and
the scheduler, and
then never believes anyone again..
ascii_field: the kind
that
takes octets and
turns'em into glyphs ?
ascii_field: simply
that is is a program for a certain kind of apparatus, where
the instructions correspond
to
throwing glyphs on a display
mircea_popescu: do not speak
to me without backing, for i will eat your words.
mircea_popescu: nobody "in computing" seems
to have understood or even wanted
to
think about "wtf is
this
text"
mircea_popescu: this sort of
thing is what i MEAN when i say "understand rng".
mircea_popescu: the ~ reason ~ "programming" decayed into its present shape IS
THAT
there is no difference
to be had.
ascii_field: 'text' doesn't need
to satisfy a compiler.
ascii_field: rng is merely ~one~ way
to perform
the function
that it is for
mircea_popescu: rng is imo least understood part of
the box. a sort of equivalent of magnetism in physics.
ascii_field: for some reason some people find
the idea a very
tough nut
ascii_field: (re: how rng-ness is not a mathematical property of
the bits, etc.)
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 13:57:12; asciilifeform:
there is
the basic
truth, and
there is, on
top of it, a massive 'field' of exercises in self-delusion (e.g., 'whitening.')
ascii_field: why share
the
things
that compress so well with prior art.
