asciilifeform: prolly i'ma have the thing printed as a poster, in the end, for aficionados.

asciilifeform: i think i saw it !

asciilifeform: lolyea if i lived in a concrete room i might end up with 4 corkboards, not 1

mircea_popescu: the vinyl siding things, i've never measured. but concrete is basically a sponge of any energy -> low freq vibration.

mircea_popescu just ate his pot of beans. shall i recount how it came to be ? if anyone's cookingcurious...

asciilifeform: didn't think it would make a palpable diff ( and it is not why i have it ) but still lulzy

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha! finally, i guess i shoulda read all them lines. so then!

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: 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: i'ma have to make a 2nd test jig to give to mircea_popescu for his bday or sumthing, apparently.

asciilifeform: sometimes i wonder if mircea_popescu ever actually read the instruction.

asciilifeform: ok i'll bite, where does it store the correct-output corresponding to, e.g., tomorrow's #t log

asciilifeform: there is nuffin unreasonable about it, i just dun have the arse-mouth hoses set up atm.

mircea_popescu: i'm just going by what you said ; yes it's unrelated to what actually happens, but that's your fault!

mircea_popescu: alright, i will now proceed to "rng" your lines. starting with above : 21ec922676d4145fbcbc4e1d05436e31ffc45b0b6b30c38f3397840a2111282640ab321b906a9d911af757a3a6b550e8fc9aaffc9089a1ca881d980f60617c9b

asciilifeform: i invite mircea_popescu to do it with 2 of his fg

asciilifeform: i know exactly what's expected to come out for a given input

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 ☝︎

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. ☝︎

trinque: any personal exceptions I can offer were fresh off the boat.

asciilifeform: ( this plus mircea_popescu's za buggery series , is all i think of when i think of modern-day za )

state_bits: Yeah I'm trying to keep up with it as much as possible

state_bits: Hello, been lurking trilema for a little bit. Figured I'd join the channel and learn more about tmsr and bitcoin

mircea_popescu: i always thought it's just "get the preppy demo" attempt of the pulp to expand.

mircea_popescu: i guess.

lobbes: Oya. Hence the "premise alone". Falls apart rapidly beyond that, but I appreciate at least the attempt at "jesus/aliens ain't coming to save you; save your fucking self. Get over and embrace your fears, etc"

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. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "i dunno what he saved, but i knew plenty of cockrings named david"

mircea_popescu: no, i blame the stupid fucking wankers involved.

mircea_popescu: i so totally need to be thusly saved, really, any lazy fat slobs wanna save me ?

mircea_popescu: whole lotta that nonsense, "i was SO SAVED!!! by this woman!!! HER LOVE!!!!" wtf, substitute symbol for "Sat around on my couch eating my chips", really ?

phf: i think i saw it?

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

phf: but then (presumably since i've not read en) brandyskoks or some such is probably original english, and preserved

asciilifeform: ( sometimes wished that i hadnt reread, almost 'broke' it for me)

asciilifeform: phf: i read the eng also as a kid, slightly laters, and did notice re the names

asciilifeform: http://publ.lib.ru/ARCHIVES/T/TOLKIN_Djon_Ronal%27d_Ruel/.Online/Hra188O1.jpg << what i got

phf: well, since you've not reread, i've noticed that they creatively munged the names.

asciilifeform: tho i dun think i have the jacket anymoar

asciilifeform: lol that's what i got

phf: asciilifeform: i've started rereading lotr while i was sick, but i'm reading this 1992 russian edition.

apeloyee: would 'doon' be a good replacement for "dune" books? because I recently compared Bored with the Rings with the original, an' find the original insufferable. 'hobbit' at least doesn't pretend to be any more than a fairy-tale for children.

mircea_popescu: i never cared for the twitch-style "competitions". besides, who wants can quake, no need for fantasy rpg, let him have his sf and choke on it.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769057 << fwiw i had engines in my legos. ☝︎

phf: is the new api still going to support real time? i take it you basically have two types of data communicated: spreadsheet mgmt and the sword swinging. right now bulk of complexity is from trying to cary spreadsheet data over sword swinging api (which i think is basically just a giant enum of msg types that can be packed into a udp)

phf: joke (?) re blender was that the original blender "consumer came to expect" was the rewrite of the NaN's idiosyncratic gui into slightly less idiosyncratic gui that current version of blender has. i think happened around 2.03

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:45 phf: diana_coman: yeah, i remember the python 2/3 rants in logs here too. i take it s.mg at this point mails CDs of prefab player AND developer environments

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:00 asciilifeform sometimes sees photos of africans, straw ebola huts in background, wearing 'nike', tshirts, etc. and wonders if typical ameritard viewer sees 'ooh hey they get Real Clothing, Like Us' rather than 'hmm why am i dressed like ebola african'

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769012 << i'm sure. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 18:10 mircea_popescu: affiliate. "Hi, this is Bill from Cleveland, and I blame liberals." Son of a bitch, why didn't I think of that. The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a desirable thing, I am simply stating a fact. Some of these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're a psychiatrist

asciilifeform: qc i suspect will be to current-day usg as immortality pill was to chinese emperor qin shihuangdi

apeloyee: Meanwhile, one ardent quantum computerist, one John Preskill made a 'keynote speech' or whatnot https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00862.pdf "Even with fault-tolerant quantum computing still a rather distant dream, we are now entering a pivotal new era in quantum technology. For this talk, I needed a name to describe this impending new era, so I made up a word: NISQ . This stands for Noisy Intermediate-Sc

mircea_popescu: and i can't quite shake the impression that someone over at pantsuit hq actually imagines they "won" teh global warming lulz.

asciilifeform: nah bock's flavour is more of a 'i did this in 2010 and no i won't show it but hey i did it in 2010 and ...'

asciilifeform: could, and for all i know this is already in place, replace ptacek et al with eliza.

mircea_popescu: recall when gmaxwell said "oh, i showed $item to "everyone in pr team" and the median time to break it was $minutes" and provided no further details ?

phf: fwiw i don't think he even made it to the end of the "crypto suffers from..." list

asciilifeform: i dun expect he even made it to the bottom of ch1

phf: i like how who was it ptacek who "grabbed popcorn" at the mention of "all existing crypto suffers from...", but since them no comment.

asciilifeform: there may be ~something~ salvageable in it, but i was not able to see what exactly.

apeloyee: it has timesaving-heuristics that use the highbits << I thought it was to choose what to add? can't prove right now, though

asciilifeform: it is if i can remove one of the unfounded postulates and still have working item.

asciilifeform: i dunlikeit

mircea_popescu: i find it apt it'd be the definitive stripper's name, but really now, a bank FOR WOMEN ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought point was "ghost keystroke".

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 15:44 phf: heh "1992 vintage italian shoe. the sole i head to replace out of hand carved wood, but leather is literally like nothing you can get anymore!!1"

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 15:42 phf: my grandfather (and his generation) spent their leisure time working on cars (also billiard and preferance). i can't help but think that working on keyboards is a bit of a step down :o

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 15:28 asciilifeform: phf: i even suspect that it is possible to improve the cornall design with... randomized scan. i suspect that the sequential scan, sets up resonances.

asciilifeform: apeloyee: saves time. i.e. isn't o(n^3), elementarily

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll press the accountant on the bank applying strategy, and approach banks on my own until the list is exhausted.

asciilifeform: apeloyee: i've thought about 'what is minimal circuit for rsa'. i.e. ideally would eat x,y,m , of b bitness, and shit forth x^y mod m after ~b^3 clock cycles.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i designed once ( but never built ) a kbd where each key sits on a 2wire bus, and has time slot

BingoBoingo: The datacenter folks released these anecdotes yesterday. The extent of the sovietitude here beyond "Latinos burn 10 days on fireworks" is something I was not anticipating.

trinque: I'll be out for a while today, back in the evening

asciilifeform: (i.e. you don't need a universal shift register, can make 'constant' value using a just-in-time-cooked bitstream loaded in for that particular occasion)

asciilifeform: unless there's a seekrit catalogue i dun have

mircea_popescu: what happened to "but i must warn you mr bb, "applying for bank accounts:" is a thing, bank doesn't open acct ON THE SPOT, takes 8 years"

mircea_popescu: "yes i can FIFTYQUOTESregistger a corpFIFTYQUOTES but it will not be a corp and hello"

mircea_popescu: wtf did that accountant or w/e do, "oh, i can find you a house mr bb, it just won't have any walls..." ?

asciilifeform: i still dislike having to use toolchain from hitler to compile the bitstream. and thereby the current fg is the last time i use a xilinx in a product.

apeloyee: that's what I spoke about

asciilifeform: so yes, the only reason why anybody sells ice and 95xx -like 'sea of gates' at all, is that for 'glue' (simple boolean functions of signals, for e.g. bus decoding, addressing, simple i/o multiplexing) is that you can't actually do it reliably with the non-seaofgates devices ☟︎

apeloyee: i'm speaking of reversed ones only

danielpbarron: been a while since i did that

shinohai: Heh I can connect to Eulora again

a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 14:41 danielpbarron: !~later tell trinque ok i finally got around to looking at this cuntoo thing. machine can't load the kernel. when i chroot to try to rebuild it, i can't even mount /dev points or df -h

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1768950 << can't load your own custom kernel eh? anyhow I'd need the barf to help you, picture of screen even. as for mounting dev in the chroot, you must "mount -obind /dev /path/to/build/dev" ☝︎

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769016 <- ahahaha, I walked those sidewalks for years and in high heels too; it's a skill! (leather shoes though, always, proper Romanian shoes) ☝︎

diana_coman: mats I'll have a look although s.mg won't use latest vulnerabilities as it were

phf: actually texans make those cowboy boots, i've been gifted two pairs at different times, and they are incredibly comfortable. but of course they are not ideal on pavement, and it's also stylistically a bold move on the east coast

asciilifeform sometimes sees photos of africans, straw ebola huts in background, wearing 'nike', tshirts, etc. and wonders if typical ameritard viewer sees 'ooh hey they get Real Clothing, Like Us' rather than 'hmm why am i dressed like ebola african' ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Closest thing I could find before leaving were workboots

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suspect that decent shoes are somehow illegal in usa. they are ~entirely unavailable in any shop i've ever walked into there. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: <phf> heh "1992 vintage italian shoe. the sole i head to replace out of hand carved wood, but leather is literally like nothing you can get anymore!!1" << Old leather always is something you can't get off the shelf
