ascii_field: o & y don't really belong in the picture
mircea_popescu: imo the entire menagerie, orlov, yarvin, whoi have you are simply doing this by hand
mircea_popescu: lower lever there, but yeah.
ascii_field: iirc already proposed in the mircea_popescu article re: reddit spam
mircea_popescu: let the tractor plow.
mircea_popescu: which is why i propose to do the job with a computer. it's plowing, there's no reason to pay for it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the one twist is, as far as i can tell, most of these 'plowing flies' disinfo agents are... unpaid
mircea_popescu: probably can live off the subscriptions.
mircea_popescu: but derived from it, a decent pseudo-AI project would be to make a long list of propositions, sort them in a thousand or so lists (ie blogs) and "publish" "articles".
mircea_popescu: anyway. makes for great tumblr stars, goes splendid for an ama, can prolly retire to doing voice-overs for "did you know" factoid tv/nature show.
ascii_field: (also in same thread iirc)
ascii_field: see also the maths profs shredding unsolicited fermat 'proofs' unread
mircea_popescu: because yes, if science were "open to all comers" in this sense, it'd just get ddos'd into the shit by S's.
mircea_popescu: at the very margin, this discussion reduces to the discussion of al schwartz' lack of access to measuring processes, if you recall it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. this argument is both too complex to be readily "intuited" by the children and also its results are deeply inconvenient to their wants and expectations (mostly of playing the spy and generalsly speaking "mattering" in their own head), and so i don't expect the S process to go away. it's prolly going to be productive enough to become a mode of "culture" on the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field like the whole swathe of "bitcoin experts", and also like "cryptography experts" of the ilk of some nobody in particular running "socklpuppet.org"
mircea_popescu: specifically because if one of these is not open to challenge, he is ipso definition an S. and anons are ipso definitio not open to challenges
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the 'phuctor debunked' german
mircea_popescu: the entire list S exists so that "credible" S's can appear so that selected Ls can be fucked over.
mircea_popescu: in particular no trust or crediblity may attach to that record, for the simple reason that THAT IS HIS FUCKING JOB.
mircea_popescu: in this model, the fact that Sy displays any score on the basis of his past emitted Q is no proof of anything.
mircea_popescu: 3. create a set S of twobitidiots Sk, who put forth statements Q about various P, so that the actual T(Q(Px)) is normally distributed over the list S.
mircea_popescu: 2. take a list L of actors Lj , who decide (D) on which P to rely, and are scored by function S(Lx), according to the impact of their reliance on false P (which is uncomputable at all points before running S)
mircea_popescu: 1. take a complex situation C about which propositions may be formed Pi which are decidably correct or false through a T(Px) function.
mircea_popescu: let me formalize this for reader's benefit.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field he is starting in the wrong place and therefore may never succeed.
assbot: How to make money on the Internet while pretending you know what you're talking about and accumulating a legion of mindless followers - for fun and profit! on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1InoNBI )
mircea_popescu: there's going to be none of this "two bit idiot" http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-make-money-on-the-internet-while-pretending-you-know-what-youre-talking-about-and-accumulating-a-legion-of-mindless-followers-for-fun-and-profit/ A/B-and-spam approach to "credibility"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: looks to me like he's trying to unearth names/faces
mircea_popescu: anyway. i don;t know who this guy is and don't care what he [thinks he] may have to say on the topic.
ascii_field: the question of 'what prng to use' has never differed from the question of what kind of animal's shit to smear in wounds
mircea_popescu: and ftr, the nist ec crapolade was ALWAYS regarded as suspiciouys at best "by people in the business"
punkman: "If I call NSA “Clyde Frog” long enough, eventually other people will too. Someone has to start the meme! "
mircea_popescu: they're the first ones that do.
mircea_popescu: *I* don't need to explain myself.
ascii_field: 'The U.S. Government has these special requirements that you wouldn’t understand. Since they’re a government, they needn’t explain themselves, and we’re not going to explain either.'
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between these two situations.
ascii_field: all the turdation nodez may as well be one.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it turns out they lied,
mircea_popescu: they weren;t supposed to run one node
ascii_field: the whole notion of ten thousand people hanging off the teat of ~one~ node is braindamaged
mircea_popescu: irrespective of what "venture capital" it has wasted to date.
mircea_popescu: "A blockchain explorer has ONE JOB: to show its users valid blocks and transactions. Blockchain.info does not do this. It's worse than worthless; it's deceptive."
ascii_field: with extra lulzy part, that http://stackoverflow.com/a/569151 is catastrophically braindamaged and will segfault, guaranteed
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 16:34:27; mod6: asciilifeform: thanks for your Mempool Jettison submission
mod6: <+ascii_field> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-08-2015#1224297 << please see last night's log! (spoiler: jettison does't actually free mem..) << will review, thx. ☝︎
jurov: now i'm curious what alf thinks of via
mircea_popescu: same cloud the brits store the islanders to create that .io in the firsat place.
ascii_field: fwiw these don't even execute on my iron
mircea_popescu: do that, mgith as well "store your private keys with keybase.io indacloud"
ascii_field: possibly mircea_popescu was retching at the use of intel 'aes accelerator' instruction
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 17:04:24; decimation: yeah but you were complaining that openssl was inseperable because of the assembly optimization
decimation: nevermind the fips shit, they ship a pure c implementatin for cross-platform stuff
decimation: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-fips-2.0.tar.gz < the 'fips' source
decimation: yeah but you were complaining that openssl was inseperable because of the assembly optimization ☟︎
ascii_field brainfarted, thought 'boost' for some reason
decimation: remember how they have that 'we can load object code' functionality?
ascii_field: or you mean the original? well no shit, c
ascii_field: (in what sense would this be 'openssl' ?)
decimation: ascii_field: did you know that openssl has a pure c implementation?
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 16:03:01; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> to which i answer << and to wich is answer, if memory serves you were brought by a woman!

mod6: asciilifeform: thanks for your Mempool Jettison submission ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: lol actually you should see hanbot these days, running containers and whatnot. you lot have ruined her.
jurov: and that woman sure knew how to deallocate after, i spose
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> to which i answer << and to wich is answer, if memory serves you were brought by a woman! ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> knowing this, how to talk to 'under 30' ? << i have an easy enough time, prequals : nude, nice tits, better ass, on knees.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform long known, that machine. it consists of a belt and, as mo says, "totu-i din incheietura, ma, degeaba tot..."
mircea_popescu: "i know hoiw to make sitcom successful in big way (like seinfeld) so please send me some pics of you" ?
asciilifeform: to which i answer 'go to the harem and come back with why tx is not deallocated when mapTransactions is emptied'
asciilifeform: knowing this, how to talk to 'under 30' ?
asciilifeform: modern 'west' works the way it works by narrowing the victim's horizon in such a way that from the day he is born, sees entire world only through own arsehole
asciilifeform: like the sicilian doctors circa 1200 from mircea_popescu's article
asciilifeform: ditto folks who grew up with 'climatocalypse' and 'string theory' as 'physics'
asciilifeform: nobody has yet invented the machine for turning mental 'bonsai kitten' into a full-grown animal.
chetty: hahahaha the old dont trust anyone over 30 has morphed into don't talk to anyone under 50
mircea_popescu: i made this point, vaguely, when we were discussing our own survival, in the form of "lordship lists" etc. but it stands - if you have a systematic closure you're in a bubble.
mircea_popescu: so let them wot.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, computing is language.
asciilifeform: and this is felt, in the gut, by just about everyone
mircea_popescu: spartan may well speak with his sword, but this does not promise an easy translation.
asciilifeform: because talking with the 'fresh grads' (much less the public at large) is increasingly a pearls/swine proposition
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they aren't - as far as i can tell - talking
mircea_popescu: but it also illustrates just how strained the melted cheese is
mircea_popescu: and if you wish you can say the same re programmers, and i'll buy it
mircea_popescu: some, the brighter ones, are sort-of trying, twitter, what have you. maybe it works, who knows.
asciilifeform: or run therealbitcoin, etc
mircea_popescu: ~I~ am not in a bubble, because i actually take untold hours each quarter to talk here.
asciilifeform: the 'real programmerz' are not in such a bubble, in that you are interacting with them every time you flip the light switch or turn on the tap, or get into a '747'
mircea_popescu: retirement homes, maybe. while that lasts.
mircea_popescu: there still is this civilisation ? where ?
chetty: funny, I recall life before I lived on the computer, and it wasn't that long ago.
asciilifeform: chetty: there sure is! it lives in the library.
chetty: I wonder if being on the internet so much only makes you guys now see the 'west' as reddit and there just might be actual civilization out there if you get off the computers.
asciilifeform: for me it was... the house in 'tom & jerry' !
mircea_popescu: i was 10 at the time, but still.
mircea_popescu: for them reddit IS the west, much like for yours truly, outlet store catalogues was
