mircea_popescu learned this as a teen, whenceupon leaving the shop cashier was "ask me out". "aren'

☟︎ ben_vulpes: i don'
t know much about computers, less about tiny things, but this is the segment of memory that holds the thing's os, yes?
mircea_popescu: the secret i'm sharing is that there's no monogamous relationship with reality : looking at any of them nude doesn'

mircea_popescu: "haven'
t these rednecks figured out anarchy dun work already!!11"
mircea_popescu: the way concrete works is you have to swallow the concrete provided, not try and invent what at the time seems like "he won'

mod6: <+asciilifeform> (recall, block index is RETARDEDLY kept resident in ram, being first leak) << yeah, getting these into `
t' for the trb project will be a big main priority once i get tbot deployed.
mircea_popescu: i recall the fellow not digesting my pointing out to him that his calls, opinions ideas etc on some topic he had nothing to do weren'
t interesting ; dunno what exactly the adherence was. maybe this, yeah.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it wasn'
t bad really. i guess in the end didn'

mircea_popescu: writing a cannonizer and an algebraic operator on this shouldn'
t be impossible.
mircea_popescu: getting back to base phi : two machine words together, 64 bit each, encode a huge chunk of cannonical phinary numbers ; and the machine wouldn'
t even have to know that's what it's doing.
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t seem there;s going to be so much cheating here.
mircea_popescu: "She does stink and she should quit. But I don'
t want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route; years of rejections and failures till she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the even more hilarious bit is that there just aren'
t THAT MANY primes to make different keys of a specified size.
Framedragger: i don'
t think 'c)' obtains? no mix-up there. otherwise, sure, blergh re. a) and b)
mircea_popescu: but yes, what he's trying to copy was originally correct : the problem with cryptosystems is that even if they "reference" an actual hard problem, they don'
t get to stand in for the fucking problem itself! they pick a case, and we've no good hardness measurers for mere cases.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger chiefly, that it isn'
t. i posit that nothing good or useful can come of some kid at rutger's self importantly answering questions on a website because some 17 yo kid who thinks himself too cool for his ohio highschool asked a dumb question with the usual smattering of wikipedia his teachers usually A him for.

mircea_popescu: and so the matter settled : what started on may 25th as a slight disparity between the usg faux bitcoin exchanges trading at 448 (bitfinex isn'
t inclued here, having nothing to do with bitcoin altogether) while btcchina was reporting 455 (and 2/3 of the total volume), eventually peaked out at 510/580 (with btcchina still doing 2/3 of the volume) and eventually settled at 530/540. the moral that "you should have yielded rather

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you believe that i quit, never to return, an assembly of esteemable finance heads when in congress they didn'
t agree, nor couldn'
t understand, why exactly "to split any item to two parties : one cuts, the other picks" is not only equitable, but the only equitable method so much so any other method is derived from it, and equitable only in as much as it's similar.
mircea_popescu: well so sure, but then the market isn'
t "a magical solution from god for all the crazy dangerous shit i don'
t want to have to deal with".
mircea_popescu: but without those meetings of the minds, there isn'
t a market, just chaos.
mircea_popescu: when they don'
t make the same lists a market's impossible, which is why britain must "civilize" the world before it can be a "trade empire".
mircea_popescu: odd that this doesn'
t occur to you as the obvious answer to the whole "gold brick" bs. "oh, why doesn'
t mouse go down THIS tunnel!" "because there's a barb at the entrance and it stepped on it" "what barb ?!?!" "there" "oh, that ? that's just a barb!"

a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 10:30 mircea_popescu: you can'
t find a book that's not informed by either a christian or socialist notion of theosophy. neither of these are intellectually acceptable, or even digestible. the dumb will have to be washed off books before they may be instruments of human thought again. asciilifeform does not feel this because he insists on only reading an (insignificant) fraction, math is math eh.
Framedragger: that's fair. ok. i assume you don'
t think much of OAEP (i see it mentioned in the logz but only just)
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think they had actually figured out by the end of the 80s that "everything" is a bad sort of books to have.
mircea_popescu: that's how cars ended up with a dollop of hot plastic on top. "suv"s my foot. it's just ldks, for "locals don'
t know shit"
mircea_popescu: the fate of humanity is to be this endless rat in an endless baited maze. we can'

trinque: the phuctoring events don'

Framedragger: aha, then i guess you don'

☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: couldn'
t you use an argument of a similar form to say that e.g. AES depends on luck? (2^256 keyspace of luck, for example..)
phf: ass whipped because don'

trinque: that one can reprogram them doesn'
t invalidate the fact that having to do so is a sign that your culture's not producing functioning adults
ben_vulpes: lord knows i don'

t BingoBoingo: "Maybe instead, you can help set up something to allow Eat24/Yelp employees to get food from local food banks and soup kitchens? I’m pretty proficient at rice, but some hot soup would sure make up for not being able to afford to use my heater." Why wasn'

mircea_popescu: good thing they didn'

mircea_popescu: wasn'

mircea_popescu: now, not to say that current chinese capacities in rocketry and so on aren'
