as the 'stage0' is concerned, there is one guy manaloneing (OriansJ in #bootstrappable), and a dozen of people watching. can't say anything about 'mes' yet, it has a different author.

mircea_popescu: (this also explains why son-mother so rare : there's two manners of human accuplation, type 1
as in missionary sex, where the female tries to hold on to a dominant male for child support and type 2

mircea_popescu: perhaps there's a reason for the latter ? you want to propose people chew concrete, you gotta come up with ~SOME~ theory

mircea_popescu: 1. admitting there is such a thing
as a "boy unable to talk to girls", 2. you are stuck admitting that this same boy can nevertheless look at any piece of ass he wants,
as proven by the social media event known
as "the fappening", 3. in which case you are left to somehow introduce a putative difference of satisfaction, between doing just that and talking to girls -- 4. because i tell you i don't see it.

as zombie.
mircea_popescu always answers comments (so will refrain from pointing this out on case by case basis)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in ~this sense~ us cowboy started wearing ~a little~ denim
as the west states textile industry developped. originally it was miner garb. then it was extended to make tent sheet for army. THEN it was taken by cowboy to replace the much more expensive LEATHER the spanish were wearing.
mircea_popescu: re the "cowboy stuff" : all the us "wild west" stuff is a cheap and quick daghuerotype after spanish traditions of the time. this is visible if one studies say the horse working (this is a term of art)
as practiced in spanish-speaking lands comparatively to english-speaking lands. everything is visibly a model to scale, and to this day the cultural overwhelm of spanish lands in all fields related is overwhelming.
diana_coman: not

mircea_popescu: the important part, to my eyes, is to underscore that the "being clever" was NOT,
as the "clever" in question silently ie implicitly misrepresent, a case of "choice", ie, "seeing how little i get paid i react thusly". the "clever" in question was very much what such "clever" ever is : "seeing what a fucktard i am, this is what i could pretend is '''really''' going on to not have to confront it".

mircea_popescu: that's not even it. whole bunch of tards, "oh, this bottle of champagne is great, $5000".
as a factual matter no bottle of fizzy is genuinely worth that much. not anything you'd drink, anyway. what';s worse, if i pour that and random bottom shelf stuff they couldn't tell them apart. half the time can't tell bicarb fizz apart.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they do this weird thing where they poke (literally, with finger) girl walking by me to get her attention then "omg your purse is open!!!". fucking weird

as much

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-14#1902434 << the fundamental problem with measuring anything is that either you pick good measurements (in which case -- you want good samples, in which case -- bottom always wins) or else you pick good results (in which case, discussion can continue endlessly
as to ~what it is they mean~. there's no clear meaning to results, howsoever good they may be, absent a good measurement).

as it's unclear from the logs whether phf actually has done this and not published it yet or not done it at all, diana_coman will release a third keccak, that should resolve both the above problem and the "everything is 8x because NIST idiots" thing blowing up vdiff's stack, hopefully later this week.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883944 reasons.
as it turns out, this was the wrong cut.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the problem is this :
as keccak is ineptly specced (by Bertoni & all), it uses amixedly both lsb and msb conventions, meaning that a bitstream of uneven octetness like "10110" can ~in principle~ end up padded into either the harmless "00010110" or the potentially harmful "10110000".
