mircea_popescu: and
a very short run, iirc documentedly only ~1k produced.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 15:40 asciilifeform: btw if anyone REALLY needs
a 9200 baud ( or other ) baud rate, i ( or for that matter anyone ) can build
a replacement cpld firmware image that makes this happen
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: always lusted after those as
a youf but never had much chance to fiddle with 'em. unobtanium for young pete's budget but glad to hear they're still running strong
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 15:03 mp_en_viaje: basically
a novel vector of imperial attack seems to be this "let's take republican items and ~EXPAND~ the downstream so that siberian river attack is then feasible".
diana_coman: asciilifeform, one can patch the kernel to work with both pl2303 AND pl2303x; but otherwise yes, obv is obv, either actual serial port or otherwise finding
a combo that works
mircea_popescu: no ; yet you'll be amazed what feats of comprehension can be achieved with
a set of 26 predefined symbols.
mircea_popescu: it's entirely within the realm of the conceivable that on
a long enough timeline anyone ends up selling
a nonzero quantity of palaces.
mircea_popescu:
a deal can be anything.
a stupid deal, or
a deal of no economic value or relevancy, such as me offering for sale my palace on the moon, with the footnote that as far as i know there's no palaces on the moon and if there were i don't know of owning any is one thing. fraud begins later on.
mircea_popescu: preorders as such are
a few steps closer to sanity than this.
davout: how would that work if your trades are simple insertions recorded in
a DB ?
mircea_popescu: ie, if X thinks P = "hey, ima trade fraudulently because i'm rich enough to afford covering up for it", the probability of X later thinking P' = "undertaking excessive risk on the basis of extant capitalization is viable in spite of its obvious unviability" is high. because while P' is patently insane whereas P is merely occultly insane, nevertheless P' is just
a watered down version of P and consequently "of lower psychologi
davout: so you did take
a risk
davout: with
a last resort payer
mircea_popescu: rape is still
a crime, even if you only indulge in it in those juridstictions where paying off the father after the fact is
a legal way of extinguishing ~the claim~ against you and you're rich enough to pay more than you can fuck.
mircea_popescu: whenever something is taken to the marketplace under
a label that doesn't match the content, fraud has been committed.
davout: if it was the latter, would it be fraudulent just on account of me taking
a risk?
mircea_popescu: there isn't such
a mention on, eg, coinmarketcap.com. which is why we aren't having this discussion about that ~useless website ; but about the useless and fraudulent bitfinex.com exact equivalent.
mircea_popescu: yes, "going into restaurant means you'll eat food made by someone". but i didn't go into
a commissions store ffs.
mircea_popescu: when i go and sit down in
a restaurant and ask for the menu,
a certain kind of promise is made. when the waiter doesn't go to the restaurant's kitchen but across the street, sits down with my order and waits for the waiter to approach him,
a different kind of thing was executed than was promised.
mircea_popescu: somehow the entire ukistan real estate market has little problem identifying the latter case as
a scam.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:07 mircea_popescu: "stuff that doesn't exist yet" in the sense of the milking of tomorrow when you own
a cow is not "stuff that doesn't exist yet" in the sense of davout's isp that davout neither owns nor will but for 0 reasons feels within himself
a swelling indicating that he's just as good as one who does, and therefore in
a small manner, as if by contagion, he also will. because he "could".
mircea_popescu: the original discussed whores, but whatever, let's talk about boys for
a while.
mircea_popescu: but why ? he, alex softcheese,
a rotten reed just like milord bacon, has thought just like anyone ever thinks.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> orcs are slow. <- from my personal experience this is actually
a rather reliable empirical measure of how much someone groks reality as is; the analogy would be as to how far away they are from it, hence how much it takes for the "light" to travel aka them to see it; for some the splendours of Rome are visible only now so they still hold today's Rome to be the greatest thing; others are still seeing the Habsburg
mircea_popescu: turns out there's
a lot of interesting us history "nobody ever knew".
mircea_popescu: ok, well, there was once
a place in new york worth going to. meanwhile...
a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 03:27 mircea_popescu: amusingly -- the chicken stealer (ro gainar, each language that saw them has its own word) is the lowest level of gypsy male qualification.
a sort of transient baccalaureat if you will.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:08 mircea_popescu: yes futures exist, as
a financial derivative. no the millenials' meat isn't worth money "because human rights and democrcy" ; nor has argentina's masfuturo
a financiable value.
mircea_popescu: this can only come to grief ; and the name of the griefbox is "why is mp so arrogant ; we don't yet know whether it was
a scam ; this looks like
a serious business because aeron chairs" and other such nonsense amply and insistently documented years ago back when i still vaguely gave
a shit about what idiots say and how the idiot brainbox works.
mircea_popescu: the problem, however, seems to be that your mind is actually regressing to the mean, and you find yourself in 2017 making the type of arguments you'd have readily recognized as an idiot's (not even
a scammer's ; some people are too dumb to actually scam in that they have not the intelligence required to create
a space between themselves and their victims, so they're just fucking everyone over without mens rea for lack of

mircea_popescu: now -- it's fine for you to sorta-kinda keep up with the logs, now and again, and trade off the credit you built historically. nobody gives
a shit, per se, people have been failing to keep up and getting shedded off like so much dead skin ever since day 1.

☟︎ lobbes: And if that is the case, couldn't it be mitigated through not having the exceptions baked into code, but rather in
a separate 'exception list' that can be altered easily?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 19:46 asciilifeform: another is to mimic
a common source of crapola, e.g. defective electric motors.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 02:46 lobbes: anyways, for the wotpastes specifically, I plan to download and store those myself from the get-go (and NOT route them through archive.is), seeing as those are easily 'flagged' due to the predictable url. To alf's point, even if archive.is stays up, diddling is always
a threat. Any bits I can do without it now is +ev imo
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, huh, not that clear in my text, is it; will update; specifically: with 12 iterations probability that M-R falsely returns prime on
a non-prime is less than (1/4)^12
a111: Logged on 2017-08-09 17:59 mircea_popescu: basically they had this early elliptic curve crypto, implemented as an arbitrary cone on which they wrapped
a string. because the string is fixed length see, whereas the section of cone is not.

a minute or so

A.

apeloyee: my copies of stuff I pasted only has
a header entitled "1. Reciprocal calculation by Newton's method", but no content
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 19:10 asciilifeform: incidentally if this were me, i'd make
a voyage-only wot key, rate it +1, then at the end, when getting back to home, sign statement 'my voyage key was uneventfully used N times and then incinerated' or 'pygmies stole my voyage key K and signed audacious forgeries F1, F2...' depending on how it went.
mircea_popescu: there's such
a thing as
a classification of insanity loci.
mircea_popescu:
a perfectly valid alt-approach would be to say "transhumanist" is how the new generation of idiots (that call themselves socialists) call "the new man".
mircea_popescu: i also have
a vague sense of which categories of psychogenic noise are involved, but...
mircea_popescu: apeloyee but does this heuristic pass your own criteria for what
a definition is ?
mircea_popescu: i expect
a full half of extant rsatrons simply crash if exponent 1kbit
diana_coman: asciilifeform, guess my next run will have to be with an fg-generated exponent as well; it's not
a big deal to add that now; but this was very first run of the very minimal thing
