teh arabs would be

mircea_popescu: i wonder what
the us army would look like on
the ground if
they actually started eating
the afghanistani.
TomServo: I
thought he was maybe North America's Dotcom knockoff.
mircea_popescu: TomServo welll... some guy i never heard of presented on some webpage i never saw before as important,
turns out he's another gavin, doing parlour
tricks atparties and whatnot.
cazalla: talk is cheap! make
them illegal, be a doer like bill gates

think of my fellow man

mircea_popescu: if illegalizing
things did anything i'd make mosquitoes illegal

jurov: rly, no one ever had
trouble?
undata: this pot legality
thing is just another american political football. no one ever had
trouble getting weed, nor passing a drug
test. its a distraction issue.
pete_dushenski: and since
the legislation is choking on its own vomit,
the
tradition is changing?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski government is
the junior partner by
tradition / legislation
pete_dushenski: which should conceivably always be cheaper
than a whole hoard of congressmen
pete_dushenski: well obama might be
the senior partner, but he's only one man
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu sorry, which relationship are you referring
to here?
mircea_popescu: the solution are as always : either make
the senior much richer (which really is not feasible) or break
the relationship.
mircea_popescu: it's an unstable situation
this, where
the supposedly senior rulemaker is cheaper
to buy
than
the supposedly junior partner.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it would seem
the story
there isthat obama knows
that congress can be bought quite cheaply
pete_dushenski: also,
the white house "doesn't need" all kinds of
things it can't do, like stop assad or whatever
mircea_popescu: "here's
the
temperatures in
the past 30 years. on
the basis of
this, here's how
the
temperatures woud have been in
the past 5000 years, if our presupositions are correct. on
the basis of
this, here's
the story of
the future : our presupositions are correct"
pete_dushenski: not enough art classes for kids so
they get all obsessed with rulers and crayons as adults
mircea_popescu: "why do we interact with
the fantastic representations in our head rather
than with
the flesh and blood woman before us ? IT IS EASIER!"
mircea_popescu: "The reason for doing
this is
that we can better reason about
the output of a CSPRNG; by contrast, it is difficult
to reason about
the output of
the entropy source." << gotta love
the sweet innocence on display here
tho.
mircea_popescu: In
the immortal rights of Moss, Goddamn right,
that's right. Guys come on: "Oh,
the blah blah blah, I know what I'll do: I'll go in and rob everyone blind and go
to Argentina cause nobody ever
thought of
this before."
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> well whos
the guy ? < fuck if i know. i just made a bet he wont reply, but he did. iirc.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you're missing
the point. he won't be
there in 2025.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> why
these folks renamed it, i cannot say. << guess/
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> and mp had direct contact with
the man iirc << who
this again ?
thestringpuller: i srsly
though
the hawks were still owned by
Ted
Turner/Time Warner
TomServo: Is
that
the 'no, I assure you I'm racist' self-outing guy?
thestringpuller: people aren't really complaining
too heavily
tho locally since
the
teams is actually good
this season
pete_dushenski: a yes, where
that *other* very bad racist joo is
trying
to sell
the basketball
team
pete_dushenski: fantastic place
to visit, wouldn't want
to live
there.
pete_dushenski: gotta give
the politicians something
to chew on over
the weekend
assbot: Go ahead Jim Prentice: raise
taxes in Alberta and see if by 2025
the province isn’t an economic shithole like Quebec and Ontario. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

jurov: "the more often we seed it,
the better"
jurov: but
these people nave a need
to construct such reasoning
jurov: if it would be merely about von neumann,
then ok
jurov: Thus, it is possible
to say
that
the resulting device is at least as secure as a CSPRNG, but, since we have a constant stream of new seeds, we can be confident
that it is actually a better source of random numbers
than a CSPRNG
that is seeded less frequently.
jurov: The output of
the conditioner is
then fed into a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG).
The reason for doing
this is
that we can better reason about
the output of a CSPRNG; by contrast, it is difficult
to reason about
the output of
the entropy source.
jurov: Most entropy sources don't produce "good" random numbers.
The source may, for example, produce ones only 25% of
the
time.
This doesn't negate
the value of
the source. However,
the "obvious" non-randomness must be eliminated;
that is
the
task of
the conditioner.
kakobrekla: and mp had direct contact with
the man iirc
kakobrekla: well
they rave about "support other crypto project"
jurov: cardano is another league
than
this
jurov: yea, for example NeuG claims: It is a
true RNG, with SHA-256 conditioning component.

xanthyos: hello fellow bitcoiners, what are my poker chips worth
today?
BingoBoingo: Well according
to
the NCAA written rules,
they aren't alowed
to. According
to
the unwritten rules of
the actual government of
the sport
they
totally are allowed
to give away and sell it.
mircea_popescu: "LSU football equipment is leased
to student-athetes, who are not allowed
to give it away or sell it." fucking outrage.
BingoBoingo: But yesterday Went from $1.79 up
to $2.09 and
this morning back
to $1.79,
that volatility
BingoBoingo: rithm:
There's one
that always has
that spread a couple
towns over.
BingoBoingo: I'm not sure either, but
the
tweets surrounding it are praise
assbot: What I find interesting about it, is
that it appears
to be effortless; like
these are
the cast offs,
the "While ima here, Ill let you know".
