trinque: tomorrow I'm gonna have a nice uninterrupted project day, got the girl sent off with girlfriends
lobbes: Versus a troo 'www mirror' where you'd just download from website  (trying to avoid this route)
lobbes: To come back to this question, would alf (or anyone) use a system where you could submit a plaintext list of URLs to bot, and then a few mins later bot would PM you with a link for download?  >>http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737464 ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes will readily admit to being a fan of the petrol quadcopter ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the obvious n00b design mistake is the use of classical fixed-wings. if instead that petrol motor turned a dynamo, and powered (inefficient as may be) electrical multi-copter , a la toy store -- could do such things as following tree-lines etc.
ben_vulpes: for travel, yes, sure, but drop down to the treeline on approach like a human wouldja
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 02:03 asciilifeform: 'Sort-of like the colonial Europeans' expectation that someone firing a weapon necessarily speaks French, or Spanish, or English, or some sort of civilised language. Because otherwise... where did they get the human weapon! Goblins don't craft weapons. '
ben_vulpes: doesn't have to be that high to get a lock now does it
BingoBoingo: In developments thus far, the responsiveness of the current accountant has been a disappointment, an independent accountant has been consulted, and getting ready for an adventure to a less soviet bank.
asciilifeform: lobbes: iirc trinque had a hdd crash or the like at one point
lobbes: Upon inspection, a few ratings I've left/received haven't gone through either. Including this one I left for Birdman back in july 0-o >> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681767 ☝︎

knubie: asciilifeform: just a random, and heard about a funny story, so decided to join... ☟︎

trinque: on second thought, lets not go to efnet. 'tis a silly place. ☟︎
organdnor: this has been "real.". about a third of the channel know me
mircea_popescu: o wait, no key. dja got a rsa key ?
organdnor: I'm a Luddite
organdnor: im Chris, i work in a sort of unlicensed pharmacy
mircea_popescu: try making sense, for a change. who are you. what do you do. start from there.
organdnor: fuck yeah there is when everyone's a fucking retard
trinque: is there such a thing?
organdnor: I'm on the edge of retiring for social media so I thought I'd stick my head into a few more holes and Polk about to see if there isn't any last bit shore shreds of Hope remaining or if it isn't completely
organdnor: I have no idea how to speak Italian but the cost of Concordia something like a mother fucker and that was a big fancy boat piloted by a big fancy boat pilot that shit didn't work out
organdnor: if you Minds can't even figure the fuck out anything about LSD and the supernatural / paranormal you think just turning this shit over to a fucking robots going to end well?
organdnor: it's going down and nobody gives a fuck nobody puts their phone down nobody gives a fuck this shit could be a matter of years away we're all independent ideas thoughts being poor thinking things that shit's not going to be allowed it's on top of us right now and nobody gives a fuck
organdnor: Terminator 2 scared the living shit out of me when I was a fucking young un
organdnor: ever had a really bad feeling about something?
mircea_popescu: like a debugging feature basically.
mod6: oh, I should maybe also say, one thing that was added as more of a debugging feature was the 'press-path' or 'pp' command. Which will dump out the exact press path to be used from a given head.
mod6: So I have an experimental patch here that applies right on top of release version 99994 of my vtron. ONLY use this in a testing capacity - the contents of the patch are subject to change at any time.
mircea_popescu: twas a good fun!
asciilifeform for many years pronounced the 'k' in 'knack', a favourite eng word
phf: i have a backlog of excellent movies, but i've quarantineed myself, so instead of regular movie knights figured i'll see whatever trash
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/a-better-man-than-i << very fucking good.
phf: yeah, i thought that was lulzy, but at least it doesn't ~only~ have a cheap explanation
mircea_popescu: has a certain purely-cinematic surrealism to it, like ye olde stories of orcs in sweden burning the parquet for cooking fuel.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck washes blood off hands with perrier water poured out of a bottle...
mircea_popescu: the early part, up until the passports wank, could have worked as part of a different film. woman can act, if only she weren't caught in the pantsuitwank she could have had a career.
asciilifeform: i once worked in a salt mine where a d00d had it in his cell, the way other prisoners have pr0n
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea!
asciilifeform: prolly i'ma have the thing printed as a poster, in the end, for aficionados.
asciilifeform: lolyea if i lived in a concrete room i might end up with 4 corkboards, not 1
mircea_popescu: if you're sensitive to it, wouldn't surprise me if a cork shadowing you would be perceivable.
mircea_popescu: the vinyl siding things, i've never measured. but concrete is basically a sponge of any energy -> low freq vibration.
asciilifeform: didn't think it would make a palpable diff ( and it is not why i have it ) but still lulzy
asciilifeform just hung up a 4 square metre corkboard, interesting how room seems now quieter
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform omfg stop spewing, jesus christ. you said A STUPID THING. i ~asked~ you whether you mean the stupid thing. you CONFIRMED. i showed you why the thing you said is the stupid thing. you're now on the 25th line of "oh no really, unrelated item". never you fucking mind fgs and test righs and whatnot. the original proposition, as stated, was broken.
asciilifeform thought this was clear from context, apparently this is a sin
asciilifeform: and hah, i think i finally see what mircea_popescu's objection was. no, thing dun have to physically store every byte of 'evil' output. elementarily a sabotaged fg will behave as prng.
asciilifeform: ( exercise for advanced reader : write a substitute evil_fg.v that fools a user who limits himself to the above test. )
asciilifeform: incidentally the 'pull out rng 'a', then 'b', then 'both', then...' test is a low-tech preventer of 'enemy intercepts parcel and reflashes the cpld to shit marsaglia prng'.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to make a 2nd test jig to give to mircea_popescu for his bday or sumthing, apparently.
asciilifeform: but if you to compute the particular output expected for S1, S2 in advance, you gotta specify the clock freq, and run fg.v in e.g. 'verilator' . and it takes a while. )
asciilifeform: ( folx who ~did~ read it , know that it is possible to determine that a particular fg evaluates the same function on the input, for a particular string pair S1, S2 of bits, fed simultaneously into I1a, I2a, I1b, I2b, of FG a and b respectively; by syncing the oscillators , by connecting the 4th pins of a and b together.
asciilifeform: right. and if that's what you get out of the hose, you know that you've been slipped a fg that sha512('hurr'+sha512('hurr'....
mircea_popescu: no, it's a different machine.
mircea_popescu: stored a good few tb in those bytes.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 17:09 asciilifeform: apeloyee: fg is a very unusual device, in that you can actually put, e.g., terabyte of known input into it, and only you know what the half-GB that ought to come out, is, there is not physically room inside for a secret crib sheet of that size
asciilifeform: the standard yoke test is done against a known-good unit, rather than like this. ( why, is described in the log from late 2016 )
asciilifeform: i know exactly what's expected to come out for a given input
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 00:39 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769081 << are you basically saying that there's a maximum size of the black box which permits it to remain black to abritrary shaking ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769493 << very basic specificity-of-diddling lemma. i.e. if i put today's trilema through it, it isn't as if it knows in advance that it ain't an analogue-rng-board plugged in, and what to shit out in response to a trilema that ain't yet been written ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 23:33 trinque: also in batman, "my parents are dead!!11!", also shows up a lot in disney garbage. interesting how art does its thing whether they producing meant to or not.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769488 << this is very much a function as well as result of http://trilema.com/2018/ridoinculous-taboos/ : "having never fucked toghether, my parents are culturally dead to me." ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769458 << i find these lulshits, "alien conference" held by the la comicon whores in the la comicon hangars as a very useful sugar trap. rms -- opted to go to nefario's lulference, is now fucked. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 17:17 asciilifeform: but in principle apeloyee is right, one could make a 'page swapped' tile of 'ice's.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769118 << now this is interesting ; and yes quite a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769119 / http://trilema.com/2017/resplenduminous/#selection-571.975-571.1108 item at that. ☝︎☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 12:27 mircea_popescu: "If you are white, no positive, active role is left to you. Either you accommodate yourself to the unreasonable, or you play out your life in some futile back alley. You are doomed to this by the disgraceful history of your kind. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it is the way things are." << from another schmuck with a nobel prize.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 18:48 mircea_popescu: consequently taking something uttered by usg asset as words rather than "o look what kitten did with its own faeces!" is a little weird.
trinque: and this as a crude option

BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu recently saw "looper", a nine MILLIONTH!!! same retelling of here's whart we ustards managed to steal off the bible, whore (single mother!!!) and repentant sinner (junkie!!!) save baby jesus << That's half of US film between 2001 and 2015
phf: a scarlet pimpernel, a society man doing valiant daringdo by night
state_bits: Hello, been lurking trilema for a little bit. Figured I'd join the channel and learn more about tmsr and bitcoin
lobbes: That is a point
a111: 1 result for "\"ready with a gameplan\"", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22ready%20with%20a%20gameplan%22
mircea_popescu: !#s "ready with a gameplan"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 20:12 phf: which is a shame, because before superman (and for a while in parallel), american lore was adequate
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769401 << Somewhat relatedly, this is why I've always preferred the "Batman" over other american superhero lore, at least on premise alone. Roughly the only "realistic" one of the bunch. No magic flies ingested, just a dude who leverages his large pool of financial -resources- and goes out and does vigilante shit with it. ☝︎
shinohai: Could this be a project for us danielpbarron ?
mircea_popescu: the new trend is recycled 1990s fashion models. except a) fucking little boys is no longer fashionablr and b) what was acceptable in 1995 of 16yo "women" because 90s and gayness is not acceptable of the same women aged 40 today.
phf: which is a shame, because before superman (and for a while in parallel), american lore was adequate ☟︎
phf: the woman twist is just a modern twist on american lore
mircea_popescu: "why do any work, just wait around to be knocked up by god and then get a divorce settlement from god court" ~= "action movie" ffs.
asciilifeform: the 'phree choice!11' chix that'd look at home at a clitler fundraiser, transplanted somehow , undamaged, into postapocalyptic wastelands -- is almost mandatory trope these days
mircea_popescu: notwithdstanding that the ACTUALY, LIVED!!! experience of whores just like her in a situation just as described is exactly http://trilema.com/2016/a-novel-once-called-disgrace/
asciilifeform: it was almost a grand tour of every known type of hollywood braindamage..
asciilifeform: lol that was a memorably terrible film
mircea_popescu: so yes, the impression that the whole place just spins the same ancient, dog eared retelling of the same stolen story and therefore that everyone there is braindamaged has A LOT to do with the attempted idnustrialization of culture.
mircea_popescu recently saw "looper", a nine MILLIONTH!!! same retelling of here's whart we ustards managed to steal off the bible, whore (single mother!!!) and repentant sinner (junkie!!!) save baby jesus
phf: i suspect if not for hollywood and modern esl, en version wouldn't be as revolting. really goes for a lot of writing in english
asciilifeform: phf: i read the eng also as a kid, slightly laters, and did notice re the names
asciilifeform liked the original, but ~as a kid~ and deliberately won't re-eat it, these things ~never survive re-opening in adulthood
