mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and btw, thinking about it - i now realise visconti, the son of the duke visconti no less, actually is the one example of resistence through culture known. his terra trema was paid for by the communist party. and in it he delivers such a trashing to the pious frauds of the communists as has never before seen.
asciilifeform: the way i read him, he saw 'socialism' (in the sense of industry having a single mega-imperial owner) as a done deal, with the only question being whether the end result would have a gestapo flavour, british ponce buggery flavour, or some other
asciilifeform: can be extended to individual, as well.
asciilifeform: but i don't see that this necessarily qualifies him as a tard. how is one to love something which is incompatible with your own existence ?
asciilifeform: at one point, iirc, he quotes the mega-liturgical 'The rich man in his castle, / The poor man at his gate, / God made them, high or lowly, / And ordered their estate.' as an example of the kind of thing that killing christianity finally nailed, and he can't bring himself to miss it
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, it was dead long before he learned to read and write
mircea_popescu: incidentally, even though modern pigments and computers and what have you, we're not being deluged in fine art, as "you'd expect" (if you were say orwell or some other dumb schmuck with the If a man cannot enjoy the return of spring, why should he be happy in a labour-saving Utopia? What will he do with the leisure that the machine will give him? I have always suspected that if our economic and political problems are e
mircea_popescu: because they're as ignorant as my dirty socks.
asciilifeform: (more complicated story, with tank. diesel motor was an unambiguous win, as all tank makers eventually came to know.)
mircea_popescu: they're both equally ridiculous things, for the same exact reason : made "as best we could" by the russians of the time, who were peasants not lawmakers or tank makers. they have all the qualities of chinese farm steel.
asciilifeform: consider, why is soviet law seen as a laughing stock ?
asciilifeform: i see the proceedings of that court as similar to those of all modern courts: a continuation of the basic lie of 'rule of law', where 'it is not the sultan who condemns you to impalement, but the majesty of the law'
mircea_popescu: the other's a more fundamental type of dispute, you could stilisize as "between man and god".
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: who do you hold in high esteem as a director?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 i dun think much of welles as a director.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-08-2015#1248670 << i still see ~actual authentication~ as being ~incidental~ to these proceedings. as in j.e.hoover's famous quip 'justice is incidental to law and order' ☝︎
ag3nt_zer0: of irony, de Hory's interviewer is author Clifford Irving, who became infamous due to a forgery of his own: a falsified autobiography of Howard Hughes. Welles openly re-edits and manipulates this footage, using it as a spine for his own commentary, arguing that there is an extremely close relationship between art and lying, and citing instances from his own career to prove the point."
asciilifeform: but as own legit procedure, invented later
mircea_popescu: nonono. there is such a thing as "identify typewriter"
asciilifeform: yes, but not done as graphology
mircea_popescu: k by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with Bellini but not necessarily his pupil. v) Style/Follower of Giovanni Bellini means that, in their opinion, this is a work by a painter working in Bellini's style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. ‘Contemporary or nearly contemporary' means that it was painted within about 50 years of Bellini's work. vi) Manner of
mircea_popescu: Bellini means that, in Sotheby's opinion, this is probably a work by Bellini, but there is less certainty expressed as to authorship than in the preceding category. iii) Studio of Giovanni Bellini means that, in their opinion, this is a work by an unknown hand in the studio of Bellini, and it may or may not have been executed under his direction. iv) Circle of Giovanni Bellini means that, in their opinion, it is a wor
asciilifeform: mod6: these look superficially correct, but need to be 1) compared mechanically and 2) rebased as i spoke of earlier
asciilifeform only learned how to make proper 'манная каша' (english, approx, 'cream of wheat') as an adult; and is still tempted to try doing it in a chemist's double boiler with magnetic stir bar
mircea_popescu: no i mean, the common, standard foodl. regarded as ideal by the village prisoners.
asciilifeform notice, did not sign it as 'ideal'
mircea_popescu: but no, it is oft seen as an ideal.
mircea_popescu: And then, when the experts have come to their conclusion, and that conclusion is challenged in court, (as opposed to the marketplace or in critical writing), a judge must decide that the experts were right or wrong.
asciilifeform: for colour or taste, ain't no such thing as friend
asciilifeform: this is because mircea_popescu is still thinking of these items as artwork, to look at
mircea_popescu: as fucking if.
asciilifeform: not twice as happy if he can't buy 2x the turkeys
mircea_popescu: what part of doublethink you think got cancelled ? the man with two maja desnudas simply is twice as happy. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if can doublespend, can run arse-mouth system hose, and now you're using 'blondies' as construction material and can't give'em away fast enough
asciilifeform: fluffypony: is the process ~exactly~ the same as on a gentoo box?
fluffypony: oh look, the cp man in 1991 looks the same as it does on OS X today
asciilifeform: to further work the example, the 'antipatch' is only necessary if ben_vulpes's chain builds on any of asciilifeform's patches which have the unwanted patch as antecedent.
asciilifeform: aficionados of 'functional programming' will recognize the 'v' data structure as so-called 'immutable'.
asciilifeform: no usg confiscates them, to keep the price from rocketing to alpha centauri. the 'art market' not only destroyed fine art as a going concern, but is one of the giant turtles on which the elephants stand
cazalla: anyone else read his name as thepikachu?
assbot: Logged on 21-08-2015 23:21:00; mircea_popescu: The rest of us who actually make shit happen in the front lines of consensus back on planet earth will continue to be unaffected by your efforts apart from their modest value as chuckle fuel over beers and sushi."
mircea_popescu: not that experience to date indicates this as likely.
mircea_popescu is tempted to deed a list of key,values of names of various people and start referring to people as "Primitive Man AFMrikO2o3Ka2pcpZ" instead of "Obama" or "Jean Jacques Rousseau" or whatever.
asciilifeform: not as such.
asciilifeform: 'well, one could devise methods for signing long messages that don't involve hashing, such as splitting up the message into small segments, tie each segment together with an identifier and a segment sequence number, and sign each individually. However, hashing works so much easier that no one ever considers an alternative.' << quoted verbatim from shit-overflow
mircea_popescu: phf yeah it's not actually as bad as it seemed on the basis of the snippet. still crud.
mircea_popescu: i might as well go back to woodstove heating.
asciilifeform: unless operator is a moron, and uses it other than as prescribed, device is a true otp.
mircea_popescu: it helps in precisely the same way as multiple surgical interventions.
asciilifeform: it helps in precisely the same way as multiple parachutes
mircea_popescu: in principle, i will say "block cipher" is exactly, EXACTLY, provably as retarded as "reusable otp via prng".,
punkman: might as well repost this too, if you've never edited your gpg config, start here: https://github.com/coruus/cooperpair/blob/master/saneprefs/gpg.conf
asciilifeform: (with some success, as i gather)
mats: Fun fact: the first Minuteman missiles ran off a hard disk as the only available memory. Reads/writes/jumps had to be scheduled to avoid pipeline stalling for a full rotation.
mircea_popescu expects to live in a world where everything is done EXACTLY as he would do it. failure of perceptible world to conform to this expectation is a crime, more serious than any other, and to be punished by destruction.
mircea_popescu: gpg as-is is at best a duct tape solution.
assbot: All of the Nopes: "There is no such thing as the crime of 'rape'" and that's arguably not the worst part : againstmensrights ... ( http://bit.ly/1JmXd7o )
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/againstmensrights/comments/3c1pry/all_of_the_nopes_there_is_no_such_thing_as_the/ dude i;m all over fucking reddit already.
mircea_popescu: The rest of us who actually make shit happen in the front lines of consensus back on planet earth will continue to be unaffected by your efforts apart from their modest value as chuckle fuel over beers and sushi." ☟︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> yeah, mod you have teh honor. << thanks. I've confirmed that what I get from genesis.vpatch out of thin air is the same manifest as `bitcoin-0.5.3-no-crud.sha256.manifest`.
ascii_field: on this topic as on any other, is absolutely indubitable. The proposition that the sum total of what came before can be compared with this particular advance is strictly ridiculous.' << mega-summary, quoted here for logz readers
ascii_field: change the V-genesis introduced is exactly like the move from understanding and controlling movement in terms of mass and somewhat velocity, such as it occurs in the mind of a monkey throwing rocks, to understanding and controlling movement in terms of mass, impulse and energy, such as it occurs in the launching of satellites. The proposition that there is still room for improvement in the endless march of human thought,
ascii_field: trinque: can't build so much as a kernel w/out 'diff'
trinque: I think it's becoming clear that as mentioned already, none of this shit was ever used in battle.
ascii_field: but as sop ?
ascii_field: what if i don't want to hear so much as one byte if sig isn't from l1 ?
jurov: punkman and how does that help with verifying the sig as soon as posible?
trinque: sig comes over as part of header, then body
ascii_field: (i could explain why one may wish to do this, but will leave it as an exercise)
danielpbarron: i noticed today that you don't need to rename the files in order for them to verify; you can sha1sum and gpg --verify the downloaded attachments as they come, and go straight to extracting the tar afterwards
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, who wants to hold my retarded hand while i do that again ? i forget, what do i do, send an email with the plaintext as body and the detached sigfile as attachment ?
pete_dushenski: ascii_field as it happens, i've been doing just that.
ascii_field: ^ as it should.
ascii_field: should work as before.
thestringpuller: so as soon as I figure out the wp thing, i'll have a dedicated blog
trinque: pete_dushenski: and to you as well
ascii_field: 'The absence of evidence shouldn’t be viewed as proof of guilt, but tell that to the U.S. federal court—where Khairullozhon Matanov received a 30-month sentence in mid-June, in part for deleting his browser history. Though he wasn’t an accomplice in the Boston bombing, the FBI charged that the friend of the Tsarnaev brothers with obstructing justice by destroying evidence in the case. That evidence inc ☟︎
ascii_field: for both from-vacuum creation of files (as in 'genesis') and the later patches.
jurov: same as eu vat clusterfuck
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-08-2015#1247281 << yeah, because numbers can be anything. for instance by this procedure motherboard has a readership. which fallacy gets a strangely memory-holed alf toi keep linking to it as if it were a thing, somehow. ☝︎
ascii_field: (two separate departments of muppetronics. as in tor.)
ascii_field: even something so humble as switching radio bands
mircea_popescu: guy's prolly laboured for two weeks to make that thing, which he perhaps sees as "in the best us civilisation tradition".
mircea_popescu: you know what, you seem to be in favour of obama, as reported by cnn.
ascii_field: 'There is nothing illegal that the government there is not into. The government is smart if you just go there as an American you will not be bothered. I lived in the jungles where I was the only white person, and they were on to me. They asked me for $2M, weeks later 40+ armed men stormed my house, shot my favorite dog, and held me in the sun with my hands tied. The next day the congressman came and apoligized and asked
mats: >2012 saw the training ship ARA Libertad seized in Ghana on the orders of a hedge fund seeking reparations from the Argentinian government. Shortly afterward, the corvette ARA Espora was stranded in South Africa for seventy-three days after the German company hired to repair a mechanical fault refused to carry out the work as a result of the Argentine
punkman: "The problem is staggering. According to a White House report, one in five women (20 percent) is sexually assaulted in college. Around 5 percent of men report being sexually assaulted on campus as well."
punkman: Ancient greek class, at least as I remember it, never focused on the sounds. It was more "here's 150 grammar rules to memorize"
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-08-2015#1246989 << it does rhyme, but only if you pronounce go as "goh" ☝︎
Vexual: palm width machine as someone said
BingoBoingo: joecool: With the anticipated spam attacks ideally you will want to bolt the Ophanage amputation and thermonuke modifications to whatever you choose. Also make sure you fix the BDB locks problem in your chose codebase. Anything post 0.3.21 and pre 0.8 should be fine. If you don't have particular things you fuss over 0.5.4'stator/rotor' is probably as close to idea as you will come
assbot: Illinois hit with downgrades as Springfield goes more than 50 days without a budget : Business ... ( http://bit.ly/1E7UZww )

mircea_popescu: for as long as there's even the faintest hope of maybe one day scamming someone, every last human being is 100% jwz.
mircea_popescu: http://www.ziartricolorul.ro/fostul-ministru-de-externe-adrian-severin-da-lovitura-de-gratie-amestecului-brutal-al-yankeilor-in-justitia-romana/ << obscure romanian fringe thing, printing the letter an obscure romanian twerp (caught in corruption probe, kicked out of eu parliament, as the last phase of his public decay - only ended up in the eu parliament because at the time that's where romania sent all its bankrupt n
asciilifeform: as in, while tesla still lived.
asciilifeform: (apparatus where a small tesla coil craps out high-freq current which burns out, e.g., a mole; what closes the circuit? ~you~, as an antenna!)
asciilifeform: my mother (was a dermatologist) had one of these ^ modified as a radiothermal cauterizer
mircea_popescu: by far. as even one inch off... you lose 97% or so of power
