mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308896 << word. and the postmodern irony is that after all this elaborate, expensive, actual superiority, hillary uses a home mail server. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308891 << and it is, currently, the one reason china is a pisspot. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: but this counted as valid science for decades in hundreds of convictions. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: understand : the question of what is specifically HUMAN dna is very much open. we share a lot with other living things, and the thingsd we don't we don't all exhibit. point in case being the bullshit pseudoscience "he must have raped her because so and so substance only exists in male sperm" to be then found sure it exists in female sperm-equivalent, no problem.
punkman: mircea_popescu: severed fingers? sperm? tears?
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 15:31:19; asciilifeform: this keeps in perfect fitting with the 'computing industry'-as-a-protection racket business model of the last 20+ yrs, where it 'solves' exclusively those problems which it, itself, creates.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308872 << yet. you know as well as i do that if amd were the sales leader, it WOULD. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 13:41:29; punkman: "also found human DNA in 2% of its hot dog samples -- and two-thirds of the vegetarian samples. "
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 13:19:00; punkman: "I trained to become a wealth manager. That initial part of my study took two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. Although I never practiced as a wealth manager"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308845 << fucking bullshit. the study to "become a wealth manager" might take years, but it takes no dollars. bowls of rice more like it, this is one of those things to be learned with colored stones. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 10:40:01; danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308819 << no surprise re: the suicide. this guy thinks MacArthur isn't a false teacher ( http://www.atruechurch.info/macarthur.html )
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308827 <<< you actually know these guys/read their stuff ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: the stench of the room can never be an argument against the process of cleanning.
mats: it is p easy to wax poetic about the state of computing, but, folks run nix until they don't and nonetheless need to raise the cost for attackers ☟︎
assbot: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet ... ( http://bit.ly/1OVlZ6B )
funkenstein_: http://imgur.com/JRFASYN <-- bach to the future
funkenstein_: looky, bach on trilema
asciilifeform: on a time scale of a few centuries.
asciilifeform: inevitable. regression to the mean makes the whole hereditary aristocrat thing inescapably retarded.
jurov: their own children preferred to exile to USA and blend in there
jurov: nah, too stupid
asciilifeform: quietly enthroned on golden toilets.
asciilifeform: but overall i woudn't be surprised to learn that a few of'em are still rothchilding around somewhere.
jurov: you don't get to read about them
asciilifeform: aha and where are they now.
jurov: there's, say, plenty of hungarian "aristocracy" that were patrons of nothing ☟︎
asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu will tell me that 'money has to be the measure because otherwise redditors will have to count as people'
asciilifeform: we have a whole continent reserved for folks who would like to live life as skull-cracking contest - africa
asciilifeform: i don't subscribe to the cosmography where the hoodlum is 'the better' and the concert violinist walking through the alley is 'a loser' because... because why, he oughtn't have such a soft skull? if he 'were anybody' he could afford a security detail? because why ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: just like a hoodlum who gets the drop on you in a dark alley, cracking your skull with a lead pipe, is not 'your better' on account of it ☟︎
asciilifeform: i don't see them as 'my betters'
asciilifeform: because none of these people are patrons of civilization. but merely arses, just like yours or mine, but parked on golden toilets.
asciilifeform: but i would not shed a tear for ted turner in the guillotine
asciilifeform: i was sad, as a boy, reading about how lavoisier, father of modern chemistry, met the guillotine ☟︎
asciilifeform: point is, aristocracy was once a thing
jurov: (not the taxability, but the spotlight of misc agencies and perhaps media)
jurov: should appreciable part of it move to enemy that's gonna change quickly
jurov: asciilifeform: she tries to distinguish that all that wealth is not very secret, merely outside of media spotlight and tax collectors
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308842 << i can't wait for mircea_popescu to explain that... they aren't really lizard elites, because a distant winemaking rothchild got shot by a german once. or how the 100B isn't real money because it can't be sent to bin laden's ghost. or how i oughta shut up because they 'earned' it all and 'nobody asked you' ☝︎
assbot: Loper OS » Going Nowhere Really Fast, or How Computers Only Come in Two Speeds. ... ( http://bit.ly/1OVhuca )
asciilifeform: (how to abolish 'rowhammer' ? a) don't use ddr3, why does a tetris-playing accountant need 128GB of ram?? b) use ram that is wired as a hash table, where n+1 is NOT physically adjacent or otherwise predictably distant from n. ---- BUTBUTBUT i want 128GB! but i want bust readwrite! FUCKYOU
funkenstein_: i suppose part of the problem is people saying "oh it doesn't matter I can just take that with a battery into a copper box and walk out with punch cards" ?
asciilifeform: for n00bz, i will point out that is is possible to build a computer where, e.g., buffer overruns, is PHYSICALLY impossible
asciilifeform: and are part of the problem in the fullest possible sense of this phrase
asciilifeform: if you are unwilling to treat the problem as something to be abolished AS A LOGICAL CLASS - you are stuck with idiot epicycles
asciilifeform: this is the problem with mats-style 'mitigations' thinking
asciilifeform: back to rutkowska's paper, for some perverse reason the irony of using mechanisms like IOMMU to somehow defend the bits in your nic from anal rogering by your gpu - at the cost of creating yet another all-seeing hitler in the box - is lost on her
asciilifeform: and this since 1991 or so !
asciilifeform: (they will publicly proclaim, to an audience gagging from suppressed laughter, that 'ms-win is the only certified os for top secret xyz' while at the same time being sure to carry out private key ops ONLY in mykotronx/safenet's silicon) ☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally, the 'crypto chip as unprincipled exception' is long-standing policy in usg internally
asciilifeform: what's left is 'you open the box and there is a mess of 16nm tamper-resistant undocumented silicon, have fun'
asciilifeform: another was 'you open the box and the gasenwagen comes ten minutes later.' this was at one point considered practical but the proliferation of cheap hardware retired it. ☟︎
asciilifeform: one approach was 'you open the box but there is nothing to be learned or modified because IT'S ALL IN TEH CLOUDZ!!11'
asciilifeform: they approached the problem, in classic usg style, from a dozen angles at once
asciilifeform: the 'mistake' being that smart kidz can reverse-engineer, do the unanticipated, cause problems for 'their betters'
asciilifeform: as for the batshit element, there is a stable of folks, working (publicly known since at the earliest 2001, but likely earlier) to 'undo the mistake' of the general-purpose computer
asciilifeform: and usg is happy to oblige, 'here have a clipperchip'
asciilifeform: sane people understand enough to wish for their rsa modular exponentiations to NOT HAPPEN UNDER WINBLOWZ
punkman: how's cpu-in-cpu thingies related to escape from winblowz?
asciilifeform: this keeps in perfect fitting with the 'computing industry'-as-a-protection racket business model of the last 20+ yrs, where it 'solves' exclusively those problems which it, itself, creates. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: the other is the entirely sane hunger of pretty much everyone with half a brain to escape from winblowz, or, failing that, at least not have his private keys touched by winblowz.
asciilifeform: one is the microshit/palladium/fritzchip/treacherous computing (see rms essay by same name) totalitarian batshit
asciilifeform: there are at least two independent political pressures for the 'trusted' separate cpu-in-a-cpu thingies
asciilifeform: but i suppose this is when i say a bit about WHY we have these idiocies.
asciilifeform: this is not untrue, but there is a key difference - FOR FUCKS SAKE AMD DOESN'T FORCE IT TO BE ON !
asciilifeform: 'But is the situation much different on AMD-based x86 platforms? It doesn’t seem so! The problems related to boot security seem to be similar to those we discussed in this paper. And it seems AMD has an equivalent of Intel ME also, just disguised as Platform Security Processor (PSP)'
asciilifeform: there is literally 1 paragraph devoted to amd: ☟︎
asciilifeform: and gotta love the crock of shit where x86 == intel
asciilifeform: otherwise the fw is rsa-signed (2048b iirc)
asciilifeform: (to prevent you from cutting it out of the bios image)
asciilifeform: punkman: phun phakt: intel's recent (few yrs) cpus have a countdown which cuts power in 30 min. if the me firmware doesn't execute

punkman: "also found human DNA in 2% of its hot dog samples -- and two-thirds of the vegetarian samples. " ☟︎
jurov: by trading gossip
punkman: "trained for two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. and all I learned is something about cook islands trusts"
jurov: you don't understand, he is teaching, not doing
punkman: "I trained to become a wealth manager. That initial part of my study took two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. Although I never practiced as a wealth manager" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "I'd also like to address my family, if you can call them that. I despise everything they stand for and I truly hate them, in a non-emotional, dispassionate and what I believe is a healthy way. The world will be a better place when they're dead--one with less hatred and intolerance." << above quoted guy's son, in his suicide note.

mircea_popescu: in fact the most important "why did you fuck ?" answer on porn set is "well, wanted to try it out"
asciilifeform: by the time you can talk about 'fuck a girl's friends' you are no longer marginal nobody
asciilifeform: but there is a minimal takeoff velocity below which the magic is powerless.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the more sex you have, and the more exposed to it they be, the more likely. and so on.
mircea_popescu: (with sex, unlike money, sympathetic magic works. can for instance fuck a girl's friends to fuck her.)
mircea_popescu: if it were sympathetic magic they'd be in the strip club
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.
asciilifeform: nono the 'flashers'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they'd collect wallets, then.
mircea_popescu: (and obvioujsly, the most enraged by the shameless hussies are the old household women. because they know that her weakness is the only prayer they got.)
asciilifeform: i thought it was more of a 'sympathetic magic' (term of art re: shamanology) item
mircea_popescu: which is why alley flashers are all ~marginal~ men. the device works exactly like the homeless dragging around broken ipads works. "hey, i might be refuse, but at least X!"
