trinque: the line in question is the one creating
a new partition table with parted
danielpbarron: just making sure /dev/sda is what you call
a mount point
danielpbarron: yeah i spelled out #trilema and freenode and also explained that you can google for
a webchat url
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, just called and left
a message. if he's interested he should have enough info to join this channel
mircea_popescu: and then
a coupla days later : "Objective: Design
a method which would allow for the availability of an infinite length random key (automated one-time pad generation), from
a finite store of random material."
mircea_popescu: this is it, there is no more needed. what i wish to know of all future cryptosystems is simply "ok mr x, you have here
a cryptosystem, but answer me this : IS IT TUNED FOR CHAOS ?"
mircea_popescu: "One aspect I have been studying, which nobody raised, is that we could find ourselves with
a dynamic system, as the key that is generated will be used to program the key generator. This could be
a builtin limit to my approach. I still have to think about it. On the other hand, if I could tune it for chaos..."
mircea_popescu: d. f. boyd has
a moment of illumination (yes, you've guessed it, i reed these mostly to see what THE EXPERTS say) : "what happens if i send
a block of nulls ? what happens if i set
a block of 1s ? what can i do with these two ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform does your dictionary provide
a guess for kokofifi's "sugushesc" ?
mircea_popescu: i was talking to someone and they were all indignant over "
a set of international prizes in Life Sciences, Fundamental Physics and Mathematics, was founded by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and Yuri Milner and Julia Milner." because who the fuck is zuckerberg.
mircea_popescu: it works
a lot better as "substitute palace of graybeard santas" if you're say 5.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform local natl history museum had an ancient such item ; along with
a yellow diamond and what all else. stored in these immense, pre 1900 wooden behemoths, at that.
mircea_popescu: and the problem with heuristics is -- they self-reinforce. BOTH if broken or if sound. proper knowledge only self-reinforces if sound, but heuristic approaches don't know their own dick from
a hole in the ground.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
a major "favourable factor" in the supposedly genetics-only "regression to mean" is poorly varied environment for the kids. ie, all sorts of important phenomena ("arbitrarily slow motion" say) not directly perceived.
mircea_popescu: i never was, because i had met
a collection of cvasi pms as
a younger boy than that'd have come.
mircea_popescu: hey,
a boy is born with
a boy brain, it works the same way for all of them.
mircea_popescu: if i were
a hooker working from delrey, i'd print these and give them out to the sexagenarians.
mircea_popescu: "This, my mixture of love and hate, is the reason why I hesitate . . . Yes, it is easily done, buy
a room for two: Instant me and mine -- then you."
mircea_popescu: i guess. tall order tho, even icecubes wear their pants
a novel way
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever met
a kid that didn't intrinsically respect invention.
mircea_popescu: don't lie, because if you do you form
a sort of mental habit that will prevent you from ever inventing anything.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: one might consider the relationship proposed spurious, on that basis. that one is invited to free up
a few weeks of his time and retrospect any field of his choice, see what he finds.
mircea_popescu: sure. if scholarly, he could have ended up trapped in
a contrived reference to reed-solomon.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 16:18 mircea_popescu: (as it happens here -- the year being 1991 lubby was still
a decade away, and fountain codes poorly understood, so
a honest mind might very well have ended up predating lubby through the exercise of trying to make
a decent answer for this particular idiot. which process is exactly why "universities" exist in the first place, and teaching all-but-inescapable for researchers : it turns out that answering the malformed questions
mircea_popescu: and i mean it quite specifically as strong as "if djb weren't
a spook, and honest enough
a man to look at the problem correctly, he would probably have had lubby before lubby did. certainky he was smart enough."
mircea_popescu: the important point here is that there can be NO retrospective read of the history of ideas in any actual discipline that is both
a) longer than epsilon and b) fails to discover the PRINCIPAL bar to discovery is personal dishonesty.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-02-10 14:21 mircea_popescu: 1998-11-23 Stefan Axelsson: "What is needed, is some other, resilient, long lasting, redundant third party storage of references, such as
a library is for printed material today."
mircea_popescu: anyway, dood has
a humongo collection of random wank/antiques, should prolly be mirrored.
mircea_popescu: anyone at "inventions bureau" can confirm -- there's
a profile of technical employee matching type of commonly-seen "invention"
mircea_popescu: it's what i'd call "
a telegraphist's intuition". there are these things that are particularily irksome/obvious to technical men (ie, not very intelligent) and small children.
mircea_popescu: of [preselected] idiots is
a major, if not the principal source of discovery ; something i know from personal experience for my own needs, if the theory weren't enough.)
mircea_popescu: (as it happens here -- the year being 1991 lubby was still
a decade away, and fountain codes poorly understood, so
a honest mind might very well have ended up predating lubby through the exercise of trying to make

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but what it's truly interesting for, is just how disingenuous bernstein's "destruction" is. instead of
a curt, and correct, "go study OTP and when you understand that, move up to lubby", he picks the wrong end of the mechanism to improperly reduce to
a strawman. this is the risk of arguing with idiots -- if you're
a normal person your social adjustment circuitry might entice you to make idiotic arguments in response and then
mircea_popescu: people despising "script kiddies" for their varied ineptitudes (of which insecure pipes are
a fine example) forgets that there was
a time when the "best and brightest" founders-of-whatever did the exact same.
mircea_popescu: it goes directly to the ugly truth at the bottom of the alt-usg (referenced above as 'cryptographic komyoonity' but rms's goons too [recently i've been seeing pompous "explanations" as to how linux is not
a thing, it's just gnu os that matters btw]) : pure socialism.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure i implement
a variant every third time i do anything with pointers.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 21:37 mircea_popescu: phf and if you don't share with heathens, make it so !!shelf returns
a pile encrypted to my key for instance, nothing wrong with that.
mircea_popescu: btw, that's
a decent string for his early bb posts, back when he was
a dicklet at nyu.
mircea_popescu: nobody runs
a bot on his home fucking computer ffs, why would they
mircea_popescu: this is
a reminder to future self : plox negrate countercomplex / viznut on sight ty.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gimme
a fucking break, freenode is >100k cucks logged in any one day and there's still 0 content anywhere.
mircea_popescu: right, because
a guy who wrote something interesting in 2014 (free and unpaid for google's ezine he abandoned
a year later) is spreading pearls of wisdom about there.
mircea_popescu: so it's not
a minefield, it's
a "must be this short to ride" thing
mircea_popescu: because srsly, it's better being born
a nigger in alabama than being born
a krautz in germany.
mircea_popescu: so far they end up with
a "holy shit brains are broken"
mircea_popescu: the "society" as
a usg captive item, that thing ? the ghetto jewry of 2017, about to make pretty ash piles by 2040 ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in imperial narratives, "Parker Lewis Retweeted Vitalik Buterin This about sums it up, @brian_armstrong retweeting @vitalikbuterin about how creating sound money (not controlled by government) is not
a meaningful achievement for society, the first thing that finally caused me to tweet"
BingoBoingo: And on that note, I have
a group to escort to the feria.
BingoBoingo: (Turns out ivermectin is not
a guarenteed kill, but it usually paralyses them before they make it back to
a hiding spot for easy disposal of the pests)
BingoBoingo: Also the hostel staff have taken to recommending me as
a tour guide/travel buddy to single brasileras traveling alone
BingoBoingo: In other news: breaking up is easy in
a place where all the pretty girls smile at you.
BingoBoingo: ISP monthly statement will be published tomorrow following yet another rereading of the accounting standards, the lack of Qntra at the close of the year is
a great disappointment.
mircea_popescu: from
a link of yours to the urbit guy, quoting some w/e the fuck other dork like him.
mircea_popescu: "and while I considered myself no more competent to discuss Hegel's logic than Leibniz's mathematics, I failed to see why discussion of
a subject like slavery by the former should be closed to literary intrusion when, in the case of the latter, such an intrusion had produced Candide." and there's the moneyshot.
mircea_popescu: "whereupon, with the pain that I can only compare to that of
a forcibly extracted illusion, I discovered that the bearded essayist had done just what schoolchildren do the world over, namely, repeated Hegel's argument paraphrastically, just as if it had been the proof of
a Euclidean theorem or the tale of
a big bad wolf called Sein."
mod6: i just watched the 'pi' trailor. it indeed has been
a while haha. ive got pi in the queue. might re-watch tonight yet.
mircea_popescu: pretty much the same exact film, so much so i always suspected pi is
a remake. hero is struggling with memory rather than insanity but otherwisw ~same sexuality, ~same magical jew, same quest for the ultimate meaning and so following.
mircea_popescu: soo apparently trilema includes review of requiem for
a dfream, the wrestler and black swan, but NOT pi
mircea_popescu: the point is bitcoin permits me to rape eth, and turn mit into
a sort of ransom faucet. this doesn't go away by speaking.
mircea_popescu: in order for
a round earth spinning around the sun to be "accepted by the masses" exactly nothing has to happen.
zineKing: don't get me wrong, I'm totally onboard with the plan. But in order for
a crypto to be accepted by the masses it has to be
a better alternative, more efficient, than what people currently use. to me, the closest thing right now is probably ETH
zineKing: I bought in at 2011, I still see xbt specifically as
a currenct that is just not feasible to be rolled out globally, due to the excruciatingly slow speed and the high fees.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 16:48 mircea_popescu: well, reading through what ? #trilema is the forum of the most serene republic,
a terrorist organisation dedicated to the dissolution of all fiat sovereigns and the permanent barring of such nonsense in the future.
mircea_popescu: if you keep reading you will discover trilema is principally
a repository of answers to questions the random idiots of "mainstream" pretend to have discovered years later and "resolve" in their usual manner.
zineKing: I am assuming, correctly or not, that at least one crypto will take the place as
a world currency sooner or later, wrong or not
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is inescapably and permanently the definitive word on linguistic order, which includes all monetary considerations as
a minor point.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 06:54 mircea_popescu: Techman say /query deedbot to open
a pm session ; say !!up in there to it ; then return !!v the string.
zineKing: mircea_popescu i registered
a key, still not voiced
trinque: gladly. I prefer to produce
a genesis *after* the thing's been wrung through other than my own requirements.
