asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: betcha the tech won't read any of this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was hoping he'd figure it out, without you or i drawing the picture.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: comput von neumann of '0101010101'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: von neumann of predictable bitstream is still predictable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes. some people, somehow, think this adds 'entropy'
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Not realy. The reason I was hired is because they don't have time or patience for that
Rassah: mircea_popescu: No, the hardware design is finished. Changes are only in software. Initial method of creating keys is done, we are just adding software patches to add more and more entropy sources to this thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: somebody had to crap out the physical unit.
asciilifeform: Rassah, mircea_popescu: then one last question, for if/when he does. value of adjacent sram cells is correlated. what, if anything, was done about this? (my guess - nothing but the usual 'whitening'.)
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: hi baby
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Typicall they are one and the same. It's rare that people who dn't know whit about a topic shit all over it. Unless they're politicians
Rassah: mircea_popescu: I haven't heard a peep from asciilifeform, actually. Most complaints ave been from slush
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Is your express purpose for the cam video to get people like Nick Szabo and Taleb to join #-assets?

Rassah: mircea_popescu: I noticed you rely a lot on PHP... I've been treating my PHP keys like disposable tissues, and relyig on bitcoin message signing instead...
mthreat: mircea_popescu: (assuming you're trying to get taleb here)
mthreat: mircea_popescu: have you tried running a google adword on taleb's own name? people often google themselves. I remember reading a blog post from a guy who used that approach to reach someone.
Rassah: mircea_popescu: yeah. Seems there are two completely different power groups in Bitcoin
benkay: mircea_popescu: it's going to have to be an actual nude video this time too
Rassah: mircea_popescu: I don't think washed out child actors have millions privately invested in tons of companies, and tak about this shit over 20 rounds of beer that they pay with an AmEx Centurion card
Rassah: mircea_popescu: And Brock also privately has a ton of high level connections, probably to almost every bitcoin mining company, bitcoin business, and ons of cuntry politicians, from Russia to China to Sout America...
fluffypony: Rassah: mircea_popescu isn't into little boys
Rassah: mircea_popescu: btw, ironically, I thinkyou and Brock Pierce of Realcoin would get along well together...

nubbins`: mircea_popescu did you see the Iggy Pop / Tom Waits bit in c&c?
princessnell: mircea_popescu re: blog. US rebellion day was especially bleak this year. so many patriots in love with a system that despises and exploits them. defending the ghouls that have consumed and spit out their culture.
Rassah: <mircea_popescu> Ah, forgot about that one. Sorry, I was trolling the bitcoin trolls, and explaining things to any alphabet soup agencies that may be listening.

Rassah: <Rassah> yes, it will is reply to <mircea_popescu> well, mesh bitcoin wallet could be useful.
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu: Okay. I just "didn't get it". ;-)
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu: Where did you get your numbers? I just did "6 per hour", which is of course only the theory, not the reality.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I thought you'd have a beard/shorter hair.

nubbins`: mircea_popescu, v familiar
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/nJCH867F yay, 40% of people within 25 miles of me are plonkers.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: because they ask users 1) Would you consider sleeping with someone on a first date, 2) What sex are you, 3) Do you like the taste of beer?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: they don't imagine, they have the data to back up that it's fairly equal?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'the average number of legs a customer has is...'
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: why not? I thought that question was particularly hilarious
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: hahaha, I knew you would :P
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: robert sheckley had a story ('50s) about a 'dating agency' that would tell you exactly what to do, through a hidden earphone. fellow puts it on, and gets really bored, because it turns out they also sell to the gurlz
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's still no thermonuke. eventually you have to dance in the flesh.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: ever read oktrends? You'd like it I reckon.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu missed an 'invert' operator in there

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: hahaha
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: hey, I didn't say it was much of a clue.

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm building a SQL database of singles in my area...for science and such.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: nah no API, scraping.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm sure you'll find this amusing, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3832397/screenshots/2014/Jul/2014-07-14-215730_5120x1440_scrot.png
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a usa-specific thing, that probably needs explanation. a number of convicts argued (to varying degrees of success) that their execution, via the locally prescribed method, 'couldn't possibly work humanely'
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu: YEah, but if you could get a whole lot of blowjobs from someone for a couple hundred bucks toniation toward her plastic surgery, then.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the cat in question was part of an 8-cat brigade, so rat is unlikely.

FabianB: mircea_popescu: sounds good
the20year: mircea_popescu: Yeah, i'll do it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: (well, more like 3 metre.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: parody article << 'rather than dayjobs you talk about people needing to be “hungry and desperate” and stuff like that connotes to me this very strong emotional' << as if this had to go from emotion. 'people need to be hungry and desperate' is as much a technical statement as 'million volt bus bars must be spaced at least one metre apart.'
the20year: mircea_popescu: the plan now is to offer 5% off their rent if they pay in BTC
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, was fun for a while. my old char was a "sauceror" haha

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yes definitely
nanotube: ;;later tell mircea_popescu no need to pay for google translate, there are other free translate api alternatives. if you think there's a significant need for irc-translate, i could throw something together. just didn't figure it was all that useful.

artifexd: ;;later tell mircea_popescu In the sentence containing footnote iii of your Danika post, did you mean "existing" instead of "exiting"?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVtapIMHTXs << wtf ?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: well, good luck with that! I'm going to bed, just wanted to check in :)
mike_c: mircea_popescu:dub hm, what do you hate about it ? that there's not really any "you lose 100%" ? << sometimes there is: https://atc.waroflife.com/gow/11/
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: have you seen house of cards?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: been doing this kinda thing since before my balls had dropped, I'm sure I can manage ;)
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: tests what?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: who doesn't want to make a lot of money fast
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I dunno, I guess the monthly sub thing could work towards making some money, also what's assbots l2?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: seems like a fun idea, although it doesn't really solve my "not sucking at making money" problem :P
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: well, to be fair you were only partially right, you said he was gonna screw me over and he didn't :P
kakobrekla: <Azelphur> mircea_popescu: you were right about my business endeavours btw :) < ah, the powers of ba.

mthreat: mircea_popescu: maybe it was Azelphur
mthreat: mircea_popescu: ya I was waiting for one guy who may have the logs from 2 years ago with no holes. I think his nickname begins with "A" but I can't remember it

cazalla: mircea_popescu: i couldn't think of a witty retort at 6am so the autistic one will have to do :P
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah I think so too
cazalla: mircea_popescu: there's no black people in australia, also little crime
