jurov: mircea_popescu: pls
to mpex queue. and
there's a lulzy bug, CANCEL|1 responds
the order is mangled despite i do have
this order
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for gavmatic with note: prospect in
textfarm system
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 20:54:58; Apocalyptic: I multiply
then
the modulus N by 3 (or any other small prime,
the value doesn't matter)
BingoBoingo: !rate gavmatic 1 prospect in
textfarm system
gavmatic: I understand,
thank you very much for
the offer, I will keep
this in mind.
BingoBoingo: gavmatic: It's a way for you
to write and accumulate shares which may have value eventually. Also qntra can always use moar
text
BingoBoingo: gavmatic: Seriously consider submitting some pieces
to qntra
mircea_popescu: now, 7 digit
thing is prime. eminently not in
the first 1k
gavmatic: it's more a hobby at
the moment, writing i
think is over valued in our culture :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how composite ? i clearly recall
there being primes longer
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a plain "don't use your own server/domain for your email"
thing. which is not
the only
thing
that's wrong with
this, but in light of
the recent humiliation clinton delivered upon
them... << She used exchange, prolly pissed
they had
to risk a zero day
mircea_popescu: first 1000 primes as a factor." <<< aha. somebody's not really done
their reading
mircea_popescu: Hasimir you should probably look into gossipd while at it,
to understand why we
think very little indeed of all
these "solutions" or w/e
they are, colored sugar beads.
mircea_popescu: so now a contrived icann policy
that, no doubt atr some point in
the retarded comissions, had "it'll prevent private webservers" as a +
mircea_popescu: (you recall, she used her own set-up in her own office,
the nsa couldn't get her emails aha)
mircea_popescu: it's a plain "don't use your own server/domain for your email"
thing. which is not
the only
thing
that's wrong with
this, but in light of
the recent humiliation clinton delivered upon
them...
mircea_popescu: "you can not have an independent domain without a facebook account! internet OF
THINGS, bitch!"
mircea_popescu: "One of
the commenters on your other linked post (from when
the policy was announced last year) mentioned having
to create a Gmail account just
to resolve
the problem. Sure,
that's a hardship after
the fact, but
there's little harm in proactively creating a Gmail account solely for
the purpose of WHOIS contact."
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess we'll be moving
to our own internet sooner
than anyone anticipated.
mircea_popescu: Endnotes [1] It's since been pointed out
to me
that renewals don't
trigger WAPs. Renewals were in
the original specification but
the Registrars Stakeholder Group managed
to get it
taken out.
jurov: is
the former public?
assbot: Logged on 21-05-2015 21:22:14; *: ascii_field found
this by looking at
The List, of course
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "Because
the PGP Global Directory allows users
to manage lost keys, it cannot use cryptographic mechanisms for verification. Instead, like mailing list servers and other public Internet services,
the PGP Global Directory verifies a key by requiring a response
to a verification email sent
to each email address specified on
the key. It also requires periodic re-confirmation for each advertised email address
mircea_popescu: A Method
To Insulate Aircraft From Cosmic Rays Digitally. "just carry a large bunch of e's in a pile outside hte ship"
mircea_popescu: see,
the way
this works is, if
the ray is going across
the wire,
then nothing happens. but if
the ray goes
through
the wire, as it can happen rarely (random rotational positioning),
then it hits every 4th bit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, we have now experimentally found
the wavelength of cosmic rays.
mircea_popescu: eagerly awaiting
the kerrys of
this world going "the atrocities in ukraine are due
to russia!!1
the ukr govt clearly said
they would break geneva convention unless russia buys
them a popsicle and russia didn't!!11"
mircea_popescu: you see chitlin, cosmic rays don't often interfere with digital computers. but when
they do,
they always stamp in 281479271743489.
mircea_popescu: i
think
the point here is more along
the lines of AD not AI
jurov: when done, will be surely extended
to living
jurov: yes,
there are atempts
to use an AI
to continue online activity of
the deceased
mircea_popescu: "nsa's pgp keyservers not responsible for fraud -
there is a history of cosmic rays having done
this before"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally,
that reddit suggests
to me we shall soon have reddit/hn/twitter/facebook/everything accounts, each and every last one of us. and we won't even have
to man
them :D

trinque: ascii_field: in your mind is cardano not
this kind of pragmatic first step
towards future hardware production?
mircea_popescu: jurov sweet. but could
the repeated string Author be replaced with
the nick ?
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 10:15:46; justJanne:
The largest issue is
that many people discussed with me, each having different opinions.

trinque: laugh if you like, but my issue with gabriel_laddel is precisely
that he is willing
to compromise -too much- rather
than not enough.
mircea_popescu: like
the little girl
that got sent
to buy matches and make sure
threy burn! so she came home with no matches
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and by
the
time you're done... you know it WOULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL. but you used it up.
BingoBoingo: Indeed. All of a sudden you've got
to put
the stuff in a controlled solution and break out
the X-Rays and magnification
Hasimir: wow, I never
thought I'd discover paypal's kryptonite so quickly ...
mircea_popescu: if you wish
to verify an -usually unstable- 28k molecule compound, spectrometric assay is impractical and purity can in principle not even be established.
mircea_popescu: if you wish
to make sure your salt is salt, spectrometric assay is cheap and purity is a matter of weighing.
mircea_popescu: problem is deeper
than
that, and scales exponentially.
BingoBoingo: No need
to imagine if
there were a dozen different versions of 'cat' because
that's our situation
BingoBoingo: The problem of how many of
the marketed moving parts work as advertised and only as advertised.
mircea_popescu: and by
the way, have any of
the young eager minds here a la pete_d actually read dali's LIFE ? orwell reminds us it is certainly on
the list.
assbot: Logged on 21-05-2015 18:16:30; jurov: can one go
to mars by carefully cultivating
their mind?
