t exist. all soviets live like animals.
mircea_popescu: so then if you yourself don'
t accept the thing you propose as proof, as proof, what do you want from me!
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with formalism is that it doesn'
t practically yield anything past bad "art".
mircea_popescu: i don'
t recall the revolutionary term of art, but nevertheless, ideas formed on the basis of stuff glimpsed through the gps machine are not reliable.
trinque: though hell, don'
t they have the good sense to evacuate by now?
cazalla: a-ok, don'
t really follow it much these days but i see rousey is headlining the ufc down under in november
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> 5 years for cannabis, but i wonder if silva would've got less for his escapades if he didn'

mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> how the latter flows from it < dishonest software does not require honest hardware the way i see it << more or less unrelated. dishonest accountand doesn'

BingoBoingo: Second Note to potential Qntra submitters: Stuff doesn'
t have to necessarily be "amped up" to appear on Qntra
BingoBoingo: Note to potential Qntra submitters: If you want to submit a story you think is interesting, but don'
t think you know how to amp it up... the editors can help with that
phf: asciilifeform: yes, i did some ml a while ago. i used sml/nj as a default compiler, afair it had full language coverage and nice emacs support, i would then port code to mlton or mlkit. mlton has a particularly nice feature set, small binaries, everything's unboxed, gc can be tuned, but it's full program optimizer, so at the time i didn'
t have the patience to use it as my primary compiler.
mircea_popescu: see alf, gauss and newton didn'
t have to deal with THIS particular problem.
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t need a centralized name more than it needs a centralized ledger.
mircea_popescu: remarkably enough i can'
t readily figure out a topic b-a would be strictly not interested in. we've discussed art philosophy and history, and matters of identity and forgery, and child rearing and car design and gender identity and indian mysticism and scholarship thereof and of course geopolitics and finance and often enough plumbing and pest control.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278682 << there is a difference between "not interested", like say someone who wants to play the flute, and simply doesn'
t care about the stuff you discuss ; and "know better", as in, people who ARE very much interested in the KIND of thing you discuss, who have evaluated it and come to the conclusion it's a big fat 0. those are not "not interested". they were interested.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (and it would be actually worse an outcome if one were to just pretend agreement with alf, or me, and imagine himself the better of some kid who disagrees or doesn'
t agree and goes ahead to waste his time.)
mircea_popescu: so i don'
t think ~you~ are wasting your time digging through the shitpile. you aren'
t. don'
t expect us to do it tho, because we would be wasting our time.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 21:38:00; mircea_popescu: obviously they don'
t want the actual holes to be known, but sticking to their wants so closely begets failure.
mircea_popescu: e equipped with infinite patience may find isolated useful items in that outpour. it is necessarily true however that such finds won'
t be worth the expense. this is not coincidental - consider the earlier discussion as to how we distinguish usg disinfo from genuinely interesting items.
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266663 etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: program verification is much more about making sure the program doesn'
t bypass your gate by going behind your back than about making sure it doesn'
t smuggle undesirable items through your gate.
mircea_popescu: i get it, the view you're trying to argue against is contentious to you and involves you emotionally. this is fine but also not a problem of it, and consequently while the excuse "im flailing madly because that thing really bothered me" may serve to blind your own evaluator, it won'
t work similarly for anyone else.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 13:31:37; mats: i don'

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278428 << shocking, isn'
t it ? o hey, if hitler did it it was bad, but here's out last hope for "humanity" : blow everything to bits!!1 because going back to the stone age was a horrible plan when it was called Nerobefehl buit a spiffy idea when we came up with it (without, as is the socialist habit, even quoting sources!)
☝︎ ascii_field: what i was trying to say is that if your rng bits are not independent of one another, you don'
t have an rng.
ascii_field: the basic idea of 'padding' is that before you can really use rsa, you have to proclaim 'i will NEVER EVEN consider a blob that doesn'
t decrypt to this-standard-boilerplate-and-the-payload' - or, in the case of signatures, 'it is ~not~ a signature unless the signed payload is such-and-such-boilerplate-and-THEN-the-actual-payload'
mats: i'm on my third attempt at this and i still haven'

t be undone at low cost.
ascii_field: mats: it isn'
t even that 'don'
t use the work of dr. x., it will kill you'

t everything there is.
pete_dushenski: "Noah Smith @Noahpinion 21h21 hours ago : 8/Japan is not traditionally a fascist country - or even a very centralized one. But collective memory doesn'
t go much past 1930." << my eyes are not bleeding. thx twitter. thx 'economists'.
punkman: funkenstein_: "can'
t defend himself, therefore has no value" "obese because can or something like that" << this is not a good way to argue

assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 02:51:33; mircea_popescu: dating site is basically where people who don'

☟︎ BingoBoingo: cazalla: Originally idiots used it to refer to male FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area) which isn'
