diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-19#1903347 -> fwiw I read with pen and paper up to and including ch10, at next round of reading will sign them too; the euloran swamps where one step ahead uncovers 3 layers to fix before coming back to same position ate a lot of my time, that's all I can say. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heh. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-27#1510255 came and went ; don't bother making a key for this handle, i'll negrate it. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i realize it sounds like nuttery. but could have e.g. flat output rate irregardless of temperature ( theoretically achievable with radiodecay ) etc.
mircea_popescu: can much readily answer "am i a good lord or not really" now as compardd to 2014. and so it goes.
mircea_popescu: much like the original lords had relatively little to check their work against, but by now there's a decent pile.
mircea_popescu: fg is exactly what diana_coman 's origina keccak was : the FIRST. obviously the 2nd suffers from only having 1 predecesor. but its sufferance is part of the solution : by the time 3rd rolls around there's 2, and so following.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron btw, your comment sectyion ate my quotes, here's the original item : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RurWt/?raw=true
asciilifeform: ( could proclaim 'fg' but that'd be a cheat imho , a primary standard oughta have entirely known characteristics, with 0 effect of component variation. but is this even possible for rng. )
asciilifeform: re standards & tests -- it still bothers asciilifeform that there aint a 'primary standard' for rng
asciilifeform: ( much smaller than for screw )
asciilifeform: e.g. modern parabellum round will work in yer ancestral ww1 parabellum. and the tolerance is, what, 0.1mm.
asciilifeform: it's how all of industry worked, before the monkeys
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is one of the largest fucking pleasures of working with republican material -- not ~only~ do you have to test an item against an ad-hoc test suite, but ~you can also test it against other known artefacts~. it's like wot for objects.)
asciilifeform: ( but , recall, i gotta sew yet a new keccakator out of them, for fixed-time )
mircea_popescu: the two versions came out equivalent in my testing
asciilifeform: tho i'ma have to do a magnifying glass walk of diana_coman's keccaks
asciilifeform: in the other dir -- asciilifeform is 100% current re diana_coman's worx
asciilifeform wonders which is the most recent ch that anyone's had chance to read yet ☟︎
asciilifeform: in re which , #18 is in test phase.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-18 16:28 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ffa is 3 ch away from fieldable beta atm ; so in attempt to avoid ending up like mod6 , i'm currently 100% in it. afterwards will switch for a spell to 100% elbows in piz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform found himself in this exact position, hence took mircea_popescu's admonition and went to http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-18#1903216 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: one can throw away a good chunk of the domestic budget just dirtying all the pans, not quite enough material to make a meal but plenty enough to require a washing.
mircea_popescu: the whole impediment to the republic is this slack -- that guy over there has a wheel, this guy over here has an engine, if the wheel met engine you'd have something, however... as it is you have a rotting wheel and an idling engine.
mircea_popescu: be it called "foundation" or "pizarro" or "irc server" or anything the fuck you call it, it'd better not include talking to others, and that's such fundamentally intrinsic braindamage it ain't even getting looked at, let alone addressed. if you merged them, you'd have something again, but they're separate, and well... separately waste.
mircea_popescu: and on in that vein -- that dood has absolutely no compunction spending all of his time talking to the lowest possible crop of nobody on a stick ; meanwhile mod6 wants to spend all his time doing the same thing over and over again -- a little whittling of soap under the covers.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile this dood can't afford to do useful work. if you somehow merged them, you'd have something, but separate they waste separately.
mircea_popescu: "contending for the faith", amirite. that dood could afford to do useful work, but with the affordability comes idiocy, and so he hallucinates nonsensical options for himself. which he'll regret, like any wastrel lives to regret -- but what's the use of regrets, neither do they turn back time nor inform the new crop of youthful wastrels everflowing from the evercunt.
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 18:46 phf: mircea_popescu: is the idea that message like logotron will render it as just "logotron" in html?
mircea_popescu: !Q later tell phf hey! you've got both http://ossasepia.com/2019/03/15/eucrypt-chapter-16-bytestream-inputoutput-keccak/ and http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892960 pending. ☝︎

a111: 2019-03-10 <phf> ksum right now works for any sized file, because it goes the b) route: http://btcbase.org/patches/vtools_tempfile_standalone_notmp/tree/vtools/src/ksum.adb#L12
spyked: ^ clarification re downtime: 8:00-12:00 interval is UTC time.
spyked: in work updates: feedparse is getting another patch today; and feedbot code has been heavily refactored and part one is on track to be published. it'll be a pretty heavy post, I'ma start working writing it tonight.
spyked: equipment is due for spring cleaning, plus I'm adding a new disk to one of the machines etc.
spyked: notice: feedbot, spykedbot and web facing items that I'm hosting (e.g. thetarpit) will be down tomorrow, the 20th of March, cca 8AM-12PM. apologies for any inconveniences this might cause. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: kinda the lulzy thing about "popular feeling", that it is at the same time tediously trite in the objective, and then burningly personal in the subjective.
mircea_popescu: there was a bunch of them, the lulziest characters. ex port-worker (not even fucking kidding), and then ~completely ignorant~ of history, too!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo has the details
mircea_popescu: this particular schmuck kept a little corner kiosk sellign chewing gum & such. you've seen the manner in paraguay i imagine. then went bankrupt, and "rediscovered" himself as a public speaker.
asciilifeform: i'd imagine all moved on to arsebook / shitter / etc by nao
asciilifeform finds that for all the 'modern' , still ends up writing hand-htm to throw into it just like al schwartz in 1995
a111: Logged on 2019-03-18 23:20 mircea_popescu: after all, previous one took over on account of being public, from the even earlier private equivalent.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-18#1903274 << wtf was that.. ro reddit ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno abgout that, i never felt like blogging on pico.
asciilifeform: ( aaand net pipe, back when one had to go through some effort to... etc )
asciilifeform: sorta how auto is also prettycool if 1 in 100 has it, rather than 'rush hour' jam
mircea_popescu: aha. they were pretty cool, imo.
asciilifeform: or that
mircea_popescu: either that or "You know what gets no airplay ?"
asciilifeform: if you had a non-usg-blessed wideband tuner, would hear'em
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2019/freddy-got-fingered/#selection-127.100-127.213 << i had 1 of these ( admittedly when/where it did not quite require being mircea_popescu to get hold of it ) -- and 1 interesting aspect was that they shat out analogue/plaintext
asciilifeform: 'creative accounting' for tax ?
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine how that thing made only 14mn.
asciilifeform: 2000s was in 'golden age' where simply net connection did not automatically put you in range of 12yo spew , so asciilifeform (not having younger siblings , nor teaching kindergarten) did not find out what they were doing in 2000s
mircea_popescu: incidentally, tom green does a pretty decent job of mocking the immediately previous generation of retards, late 90s, scene with the cellphone in http://trilema.com/2019/freddy-got-fingered/
mircea_popescu: ah, no, the teleportation item was early 2000s.
mircea_popescu: heh. had those too, but too trite to recall.
asciilifeform: then again, ~those~ were 8yos. perhaps they graduated to teleportation.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-12 03:02 mircea_popescu: there's this pic of some indistinct slut i posted once i'm too lazy to retrieve. she happens to be white, sports all manner of celtic cross tattoos, stylisized "SS" etc, is taking a coupla brown dicks.
mircea_popescu: (in which same vein, i was lately looking for a picture im pretty sure i published, described in http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-12#1901441 ; also just as lost. the one thing with idiocy is that it's readily lost, and then just as readily found again.) ☝︎
asciilifeform recalls lengthy passage in 'malleus' where author ponders whether witches pilot broomstick, or merely teleport
mircea_popescu: im sorry i wasn't more documentary minded at the time, and so item was regrettably lost.
asciilifeform: in unrelated 'for laters' noose, asciilifeform got hold of 2 moar 'ivory' cpus (brings total # of samples in asciilifeform's house o'horrors to 5 )
mircea_popescu: after all, previous one took over on account of being public, from the even earlier private equivalent. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose now this can take over, on the grounds that at least it's linkable. just as fucking iconic at any rate.
mircea_popescu: prior to this, my icon of such boyish idiocy would have been this chatlog from sometime around the first iraq war, where some kid literally pretended to be teleporting himself over there for half an hour or somesuch. because you know, he's such a debonair cool dude and all, the coming together of cellphone trend and "working for cia" trend in a thick sauce of general cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: it's like dealing with [what i remember to be 12yo boys]. "oh, bitcoin, yeah, i remember, all i bought was a single pizza. biggest regret!!!".
mircea_popescu: really, doesn't teh superficial idiocy of it all grate you any ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron dood, the sort of lukewarm morons you're "contending" with...
asciilifeform: ( and subs internal to subs, permitted in ada planet just as they are in pascal )
asciilifeform: for thread-completeness : 'peh' has exactly 50 subroutines ( 37 procedures, 13 functions ) ; ffa : 245 ( 166 procedures , 79 functions ) .
asciilifeform: and sure will be revisited if it had to be . but i try and presently fail to come up with a scenario where it oughta be, rather than answer of 'take braindamaged pubkey that needs 257 routines somewhere else, ty'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho nuffin pertaining to publickey crypto has any fucking biznis containing anywhere near 256 routines
asciilifeform: ( this is the last param to be put to this q, where walk b/w 'scylla' of magicnumberism and 'charybdis' of unknownramfootprintism )
mircea_popescu: this sort of thing can't be well answered without practice anyway. if it needs revisiting, it'll be revisited under the pressure of all these people using all these hundreds of sub clals.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 15:10 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think 256 is perfectly defensible. should be obvious what knob to twiddle for less or more anyway, admitting either one's trying to make ffa fit into tiny embed or use it for who knows what unforeseen purpose on large machines.
BingoBoingo: Buncha sad Swedes and other Nordics building apartments in their barns and living in that arrangement until Rooseveltism disrupted them.
BingoBoingo: But, that corner is/was Nordic US, I don't think it got to participate much in the America days of the colonies
mircea_popescu meant qntra, said trilema...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It appears to be the winner on Qntra as far as comments that didn't get spammed. Some of the spams stretch on and on with links to nowhere.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so did the airmen of the 50s. prior to the clinton putsch.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do i win the prize for lengthiest trilema comment ?
a111: Logged on 2019-03-17 17:01 mircea_popescu: anyway, BingoBoingo 's theory can also be constructed into a third possible explanation : VHS america for a new generation, "they're so loose there, so '''freee''', sons even fuck their mothers!!!" thinks 19yo chowdry rasmadumberthanrockes while wanking it in glee.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1903082 << discussion in teh haremobile meanwhile excavated a 4th possible line of reasoning, "the perversity of human nature, can only do something when it's not what's supposed to be done -- then and then only is it ok." witness all the kids going to college to party (that's not what it's for, which is what makes it ok). ☝︎
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/03/us-air-base-home-to-stratcom-hit-by-river-flooding/ << Qntra -- US Air Base Home To STRATCOM Hit By River Flooding
BingoBoingo: Not usually police risk, but risk of other bums "Don't ruin a good thing retard"
BingoBoingo: This neighborhood's trash is apparently good enough to keep the demographic from taking the risk with gasoline theft here.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: do they have those fancy locking tank caps like in '90s ru ? or notyet
BingoBoingo: Note "robar el combustible" is a common sort of venerated trabajo among Mujica voters
BingoBoingo: And in other tales of Chorros Uruguayos: "Interrogado sobre lo ocurrido, admitió su responsabilidad, pero aseguró que el siniestro había sido accidental. En su declaración explicó que su intención era robar el combustible de la moto, y en medo de la oscuridad intentó ayudarse haciendo luz con un encendedor. Como resultado, el combustible ardió y la moto fue consumida. Además, el ladrón sufrió quemaduras en manos y pies."
asciilifeform: i suppose there is a 'no such thing as bad publicity' school of 'thought'...
BingoBoingo: And I'm not seeing any motive to revive the toxic MtGox brand other than psyop value "Look at those Buttcoiners forgiving the scamzor"
BingoBoingo: Well, he's also locked into it with some other derps, both groups wanting to resurrect a MtGox
asciilifeform: ( tho if BingoBoingo writes the latter, i'ma read )
BingoBoingo: I'm trying to figure out a way to frame Fat Mark's walk as news.
asciilifeform: asmism , i consider a luxury -- ffa is designed to operate reasonably quickly on commonplace iron without it.
