trinque:
the normal paradigm of investment and return fails here
Chillum: you
take
them home, get
the spanks off and WTF?!
Chillum: the "buttslol" password is from a lulu lemon show,
they sell
the spanks
that make girls ass look good when
they are not
Chillum: BingoBoingo: I saw a device
that automatically sprayed water at birds and deer. Modify it a bit and it will work against humanbs
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, I want serious "get off my lawn" power. Also
tilling
the garden hydraulicly would be pretty sweet.
Chillum: lol,
the Victoria fire department(different
than my dads) got a water canon. First fire
they
took it out
they fired it at a window, missed and knocked down
the wall
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you could just get one of
those garden party water cannons
BingoBoingo more attracted
to firetruck as giant
toolbox
than as firefighting implement. Also water cannon

trinque: who was korolev's capitalist ?
Chillum: lol so you get
to your parking spot and start search ing
the area?
mircea_popescu: tbh, in many european
towns it's unheard of
to leave brake on when parked.
Chillum: fire hoses of course pour water out every surface so
they don't burn
Chillum: or
they will break your windows and put
the fire hose
through your car
Chillum: they will either ram your car with
their
truck, harder
than
they need
to of course
BingoBoingo: Both Parents were EMTs at various points in
their careers
mircea_popescu: srsly, im all for
this. no more "park by hydrant" laws, but put
those old
train pusher
things on firetrucks.
Chillum: I was 12 when my dad invited me
to come along
to a fire. When we got
there he made me get out fo
the
truck
then pushed a car away from a fire hydrant with
the
truck
mircea_popescu: actually so dangerous
to drive half full
they never do
Chillum: some have
two steering wheels, on in
the front and another in
the back for
the rear driver
Chillum: they need
to plan
their stops
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I need
to get in far better shape. Volunteers get Illinois "pensions" so very competive.
Chillum: those
things are so massive when full of water
Chillum: you just need a reason for
the big
tank
BingoBoingo wants
to acquire firetruck and not sound like an idiot, reads so
that when day somes will not seem like complete idiot.
Chillum: yes it does absorb heat
too
Chillum: my dad was a fireman so he is always
talking about
this stuff
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It
turns into a crude glass and absorbs heat energy in
the course of
that. Worthless if on wooden desk, pretty useful if on bare concrete
Chillum: BingoBoingo:
the sand is mostly about preventing molten metal from flying out. It does not smother it because it has its own oxygen
BingoBoingo: Chillum: Lithium batteries are like forest fires. You can
try
to contain
the damage by keeping
them from spreading. Also sand is an extinguishing option.
Chillum: I
thought
that was obvious

trinque: chart a course
towards
the smallest of
them, and
towards selling it as well
mircea_popescu: besides, 2% response rate ? web advertising does a lot of fraud
to come up
to 0.1-0.3% CTR.
Chillum: when it comes
to responding
to spam you are probably right
Chillum: that depends on how clear
the pattern is
Chillum: there are probably less evil applications
too
Chillum: and all with no concept of what
the information actually means
Chillum: say you have sent out 10,000 spams
to people and 200 answered. You put all
the info about
those people into it and who answer and who did not. It can
then be given a list of other people with
the same kind of information and figure out who is more likely
to respond
mircea_popescu: "ascii_field:
the only
thing i can promise for
the $trillion is: more material for
the next fella
to work with" << oddly,
this sounds exactly like social studies.
Chillum: it gives you a score which you
take with a grain of salt. It is designed
to be better
than random, not perfect
Chillum: but
the resources it has are enormous
Chillum: the
tech has improved only a little(mostly optimizations) since machine learning was invented
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Chillum from what i hear it's
the same process
they use
to "detect
terrorism" nowadays.
Chillum: it is really good at recognizing suspicious
transactions once it has seen enough good and bad ones
Chillum: it has its limits but it find patterns in a way not other computer
technology can
Chillum: it is
the same
thing
they use in house
mircea_popescu: Chillum im not so sure
the aws "machine learning" works much better
than sussman's
tic
tac
toe machine
BingoBoingo imagines NiFe in shitty rusted file cabinets in
the shed with
the lawnmower is a much better place
Chillum: they provide
their own oxygen
Chillum: you do not want
to
try
to smother
them or
throw anything on
them at all
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I mean fire's favorite direction is up.
That and Lithium batteries have a shit lifetime anyways.
Chillum: I am wracking my brain
to
think of a good use for machine learning, I like
to play with all
the new AWS
toys
mircea_popescu: "Basement is probably
the worst place for a massive battery bank and lithium worst way
to do it." << word.
Chillum: it seems skynet is mostly interesting in
the status quo
Chillum: bilogocial computers are on
the way
Chillum: oh well
that is another story
Chillum: and
that
the best way
to simulate a brain with a computer is
to simulate atoms, ie not very efficient
Chillum: early in computer science it was believed
that computers were like brains and
that with enough resources
they could simulate one. As we progress it becomes more and more clear
that brains are nothing like a computer
mircea_popescu: something off
trilema, somewhat better. otherwise... recall
that klingon line pw
that got got ?
Chillum: wetware is an interesting idea but
the further we go in
technology
the less likely it seems
to be
Chillum: "I went out
the door and got my mail" <--
terrible... "If I went
to
the market I would buy bananas and
then go south
to
the dry cleaner" much better
mircea_popescu: humans are great at
telling stories and horrible at
telling anything but
the same ones.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re narrative pws :
that's how wikileaks managed
to lose control of a db, innit.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we could put
the string
through
teh entropy
tests... but no, doesn't look like it's 8/8.
Chillum: but we are married, you do
the math
BingoBoingo: whaack: GPUs
to password has is
the solution when you don't have access
to person with password and an anthill
BingoBoingo: whaack:
To search for passwords against a lsit of hashes of course
whaack: I'm confused as
to why anyone would care about using GPUs
to hash passwords
Chillum: though you roll
the dice on used cards
Chillum: a lot of ebay auctions for
top of
the line video cards saying "Bought it for bitcoin mining, asics came out"
Chillum: I love how many cheap used GPUs are being sold by miners who got on
the bus late
BingoBoingo: Hah, a hack is when you use a pck of dragonfly brains in parallel
to acelerate
the search for good porn.
Chillum: they had
to rewrite
the hashing algos
to use
the available features
Chillum: umm long before bitcoin
they were hashing passwords with
them
Chillum: like a computer shows something similar
to a face while monitoring your brainwaves and harvesting your computational data
BingoBoingo: Graphics cards were never really "hacked for hashing" Bitcoin just came along on
the exact
time AMD graphics cards came into
their own as massively parallel compute devices
Chillum: It would be neat if we could hack our face detection brain hardware
to do something else like we have hacked graphics cards for hashing
BingoBoingo: Sure, but do you really want
to make poor password checker hash all of
that German?
Chillum: the amount of information someone and relay
to a sketch artist about a persons face is in
the hundreds of Kb, but our brain has hardware acceleration for faces and we can't normalize
the data ourselves
BingoBoingo: full sentence not
typed into box, just
the dice words.
Chillum: I suppose "search space" is more accurate
than entropy
BingoBoingo: Sentence from kritik provides structure
to remember words with.
Chillum: it could be stronger if you asked it for more entropy. It creates
the password with
the entropy you request
