mircea_popescu: it's as much a language as finish is!
cazalla: i really don't see the issue with matching it 1:1 on the basis translation is useful, es not as much as cn but still
brendafdez: <brendafdez> I always take a long time before I do anything, so as to be sure that I won't fail to disappoint everyone involved.
brendafdez: i never got algebra, it was like as far as i can write notes, the calculator is ok for me
BingoBoingo did not know I was tone deaf until admited to US college as music specialist
mircea_popescu: 'According to reporting, "1.6 percent of developers earn more than the other 98.4 percent combined. And the bottom 47 percent of engineers earn less than $100 per month." << o chjecxk it out asciilifeform! as jurov sayz, clearly this isn't working o.O
pete_dushenski: well i for one would like to see what the argentinian in the big house could muster as far as a military goes
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1068081 << this is a discogent antiargument because people here don't generally dig ditches for a living. obviously someone who leverages doesn't revert to data entry as a job.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you wouldn't complain that the strippers don't wait on tables properly, would you ? as a woman ? << Serious labor problem here in the Middle West. Strippers aren't table servers
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't complain that the strippers don't wait on tables properly, would you ? as a woman ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as in, i don't think so i can go wallow in the mud. i think so the mud can't come wallowing on me. << I wasted years 19 to 27 with the contrapositive here pls don't make the mistake
mircea_popescu: as in, i don't think so i can go wallow in the mud. i think so the mud can't come wallowing on me.
BingoBoingo: Even then Rubidium standards are cheap. Run Ntpd as Stratum 1.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: Oh, I was jsut supposing risperidone as an alternative to grains of salt
nubbins`: <gmaxwell> ugh: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/30562s/bitnodes_will_be_releasing_plug_play_bitcoin_node/ ... we removed bitnodes as a dnsseed in bitcoin core because they kept engaging in sketchy behavior, and IMO dishonest. (e.g. we'd ask them to stop connecting at super high frequency to monitor every node in the network, and they said they would.. and a month later they instead had a perpetual
BingoBoingo: More suspicious than niggers.o as a library function?
mircea_popescu: but importantly, your skepticism, while amply affirmed, is not supported by anything else. so you're skeptical of x theory, as an aesthetic matter. good for you. what's that do ?
BingoBoingo: SO, brainstorm, could anything real be within 4x as fast as fundnations headers only?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu not as easily as a box of tees 8)
asciilifeform: my notion, as of a month plus ago, was to bake the entire orchestra into a buildroot
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in as far as it may end up the first battlefield deployment of 0.5.3.x - aha.
asciilifeform: just as i suspected
asciilifeform: anyway it's just as dead as the last maxint kernels
BingoBoingo yet to try .foundation build as spec'd, mostly has moar weird in his plan pipeline
asciilifeform: building for arm922t which, as far as i can tell, marvell is compatible with.
decimation: have none of it. ... Because he wanted to be known as the man who overthrew the gold standard and replaced it with a new, rational, managed international monetary system. So he very much had his own personal legacy at heart here. <http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/benn_steil_on_t.html
mircea_popescu: moreover, as late as during ww2, the west thought the war is mostly about preventing exactly that.
mircea_popescu: but basically, feudalism and metalwork almost look as a zero sum game : as the latter develops the former fades
mircea_popescu: decimation before long you'll be looking into subtle distinctions such as between "king of germany" and "king in germany"
decimation: The German titles of Landgraf, Markgraf, and Pfalzgraf bei Rhein are in the same class of ranks as Herzog ("duke") and above the rank of a Graf ("count").
mircea_popescu: it was ending just as the hansa was coming into its own.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the peak of feudalism is around the peak of things like the tournoi as a public sport.
mircea_popescu: marsh lord, what is known as marquis, actually outranked counts at court, chiefly because being the lord of a marsh he had much more legal power than the head of settled land
mircea_popescu: in any case : counts as in, counts palatine, counts of the hre, etc, were sovereign.
mircea_popescu: this is why i don't like reading orlov. the propaganda angle doesn't bother me as much, but the millitant, sheer ignorance does.
mircea_popescu: <brendafdez> No bitcoin payoutsa, however << a) nothing surprising about it and b) everyone wants to get as many btc as humanly possible before having to admit it.
trinque: whatever's said there lasts at least as long as the currency
mircea_popescu: as that shit's coming to hit the fan with its "equality" and whatnot, the whole tectonic plaque's going to come this way again.
mircea_popescu: if they buy into the entire "socialist nice" thing, as exemplified by say the original dispute that created this place, or whatever recent quiote from some linus criticism of poettering's or w/e, you get one sort of failure mode of science.
mircea_popescu: and this is where it comes out that mp sees only very moderate problems with "honor killings", for instance, as atrociously intoilerable they may seem to the libertard set. meanwhile mp sees some problem with say "hospital deaths", as totally benign and normal and expected they seem to the same set.
mircea_popescu: actually americans used to be pretty honorable as far as these things go.
trinque: http://www.ibtimes.co.in/turkey-guilt-ridden-japanese-engineer-kills-self-harakiri-style-over-bridge-collapse-627096 << not harakiri as I understand it, but still
mircea_popescu: but as the guys say, maybe you find the magic stick.
mircea_popescu: i guess that'll be useful for mod6 as a reminder, tho i think he knows.
mircea_popescu: the notion taht they are "destructive" for either men or women is so idiotic as to wrap over the ridiculous threshold multiple times.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> as if I don't have enough going on :p << hey, in my spare time i'm designing a fucking game. up to my neck in, of all things, mysql!
trinque: as if I don't have enough going on :p
mircea_popescu: so basically, i surmise, we'd have liked a clean "os in eeprom, data on disk" arrangement, but it seems we're not actually capable to do this, and so as a backstop you tried a few oses to go on disk
mircea_popescu: gotta go with an os brewed by someone with some experience so as to have at least a fighting chance the whole thing works.
mircea_popescu: ok, so : pogo = arch as per ascii, static new bitcoind 32 bit as soon as foundation can bang it out.
mircea_popescu: so then the master here becomes, arch as per ascii, static as per current foundation release.
nubbins`: if we're talking about a "pogo node" as a kit that one can purchase, i think, it's fine to start with w/e distro, booting from SD, skull-and-crossbones patches, w/e
nubbins`: ^ truth sauce, almost took this up as a career
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: adding a problem++ to the list at the cost of a weekend is not on this list << astute observation, which is why my patch was specifically labeled as a proof to nail down the locus of the problem, and not an item to be used on the battlefield.
danielpbarron: i got your netbsd kernel to boot on the pogo; this is possible with openbsd as well?
ascii_field: danielpbarron: same problem as netbsd
nubbins`: i obv have no idea as to scale here
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the plastic casing is at least as valuable as the boards.
thestringpuller: just bad feeling seeing summer 2015 as their schedule and this aligns with gavin wanting to have enough dick's sucked to push his shit into github around then as well
nubbins`: mod6 but FWIW this process should generally be able to be applied to future releases as well
mats: (training round as indicated by green tip)
ascii_field: 'It is my aim to set a new high-water mark for transparency in parameter generation. To that end, all of these values are nothing-up-my-sleeve numbers which I generated by singing the Bohemian Rhapsody backward with my dog barking in the background, digitizing the audio as an MP3 at a bitrate of 192kbit/s, and taking every 17th byte of the result. Their integrity can easily be verified by repeating this procedure.'
ascii_field: used as part of an implementation of IPSec over IPv6 in a resource constrained IP stack. In such a case, under normal operation the library will perform properly, interoperating with other IPSec aes-ctr hosts. But when it is triggered by a forged ICMPv6 packet it will lead to a full plaintext reveal. Another forged ICMP packet will restore the conforming behavior so that normal packet retries will mask the improper
ascii_field: 'The library implements the AES block cipher in CTR mode and for the most part behaves as it is described in almost all circumstances it would normally be used in. Notably it passes all the FIPS and RFC test vectors for AES encoding and can interoperate with openssl. The library can be used in most any application where AES is needed and will behave appropriately. The library becomes exploitable specifically when it gets
ascii_field: even something as simple as dram is not, in practice, usable without the 'hard' blocks
ascii_field: 'as long as no block memories or hard IP blocks are used' << ahahahahaha.
trinque: soon as there's a fully open and documented phone/computer, I'll buy that too
danielpbarron: but seeing as how i have this stupid iphone, i really don't mind paying 1 to 10 USD for an app that actually works as described
ascii_field: (as i'm sure many others here have)
nubbins`: as if my time is so valueless that i'm willing to give up a couple hours over EIGHT DOLLARS
nubbins`: i'm sure others would be interested as well
ascii_field: article mentions gruber. who i recall very distinctly as an especially smarmy 'volunteer' apple propagandizer. he once sent fifty or so thousand morons to my site
nubbins`: almost so different as to not warrant mentioning
ascii_field: 'According to reporting, "1.6 percent of developers earn more than the other 98.4 percent combined. And the bottom 47 percent of engineers earn less than $100 per month." Yet somehow, independent app development has often been described as a 'gold rush' despite it being quietly understood by developers, even as early as 2009, that this was hardly the case.' << does this person have any awareness of what the '49 goldrush
ascii_field: 'Recent revelations show that the situation has gotten so bad that today there are only approximately 3000 apps profitable enough to support a median income of $50k for their developer. It is also important to note that not all apps are built by one developer, many work as a team. So it follows that there are many fewer than 3000 developers sustainably doing independent development.'
pete_dushenski: looks like you're coming just as i'm going..
nubbins`: my recently identified pete's-blog-post-about-jamaica meta problem is that you identify entitlement as a problem but fail to realize that you're acting more entitled than these guys are
nubbins`: what you see as entitlement is a desire to not waste time
mike_c: "RSA received $10 million in a deal that set the NSA formula as the preferred, or default, method for number generation in the BSafe software"
mats: what i'm saying is that, as the evidence stands, i'm unable to take a firmer position on Dual_EC than the previously accepted consensus that the weakness being a backdoor is quite unlikely, and that Dual_EC should be shunned only because of the abundance of caution with regard to any issues that is endemic to the crypto field
mats: same premise as before! no proof.
mats: that this happened at the same time as the push towards DUAL_EC as default looks incidental, not malicious
asciilifeform: i'll emphasize that it isn't a 'won't work in the cold' so much as 'entropy relying on sram effects degrades ungracefully'
asciilifeform: best as we can.
asciilifeform: mats: if you have philosophical objections to 'behave as if X even if possibly ~X is true' then try to come up with some other syllogism. but it -must- end in 'the people who gave us heartbleed and dual_ec DO NOT GET TO MAKE CRYPTO ANY MORE'
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tolerast | Aug 6, 2012 ... tolerast. a mix of `tolerant` and `pederast`, hyper tolerant person, who will sacrifice all of his beliefs just to avoid being thought of as `intollerant`.
asciilifeform: but it is necessary to -behave- as if they were
asciilifeform: mats: at the risk of repeating myself, i will phrase my position as a kind of maxim: 'it is necessary to behave as if hearbleed and dual_ec were crafted vulns, regardless of any apparent evidence to the contrary'
nubbins`: while one may feel silly taking the paranoid stance as the default.... we're just evaluating the evidence as presented
nubbins`: PIEDMONT: "Provides protection to NSA's bottom line capabilities to exploit SIGINT targets by attacking the hard mathematical problems underlying public key cryptography as well as any future technologies as may be developed"
asciilifeform: mats: let me rephrase. i advocate that it is -wrong- to treat any case like dual_ec as anything other than sabotage
nubbins`: as long as you installed all yr updates?!?!
nubbins`: didn't schneier advocate windows as an acceptable PGP machine?
mats: living a life of secrecy is hard as it is
nubbins`: not be as valuable as you could be
asciilifeform: had to be resoldered for american mains (move to center tap of transformer) as it was brit-made
nubbins`: suspected as much
asciilifeform: Adlai: actually, pick'n'place machines build in the '80s did this as routine matter
nubbins`: steady as she goes!
nubbins`: Adlai disposable income in .jp might not be as much as you think
