mircea_popescu: the whole point is, "looky here good fellows, the similarity between pharoh tuth's death and granma ilsa's death down the street and every other smallpox death is -- variola virus!!"
mircea_popescu: taking individual such examples and declaring "i interpret ~this~ particuylar case of 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()' as somethingentirely else!!!" isn't gonna do much.
asciilifeform: ( seems like trivial fact, i can't possibly dispute it )
asciilifeform: that's not the part i have nitpick for
mircea_popescu: this is true universally, whether that number turns out to be half a million or half a unit.
mircea_popescu: it's a historical fact, the only way for a revolution to win is for the wanna-be pantsuit cop larpers being killed, in such numbers as not to leave any behind.
mircea_popescu: well i mean, what is the diff between historic and philosophic you propose here ?
asciilifeform: afaik last time 'amateurs' actually gave regular army a run for its money, was muentzer. ( and even there, debatable, had 'pro' leadership ; so possibly actual last time was... spartacus ? )
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu was going for a historically, rather than philosophically, supported statement. ( i dun even disagree, as such, 1917 was over in ~1926 when ~100% opposition was dead/emigrated . but wasn't pushed out by bottle-throwers, no. )
mircea_popescu: duh. that doesn't invalidate hygiene.
mircea_popescu: so then. "the only way to have medicine is by washing hands" "in the end, corpse anyway"
asciilifeform: guaranteed to fail when sun burns out, lolyes
mircea_popescu: "in the end" ffa is a piece of shit, because events from star date 78987.4
mircea_popescu: this says nothing of "in the end". that's nonsense, you've not yet done anything or not done anything that lives to this "in the end" stgandard.
mircea_popescu: contention is, "the only way through which revolution ~ever~ wins, is 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()'".
mircea_popescu: in the end, kelvin won.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "in the end" argument is about as boneheaded as "according to my painted-over skymask, the sky is maroon in color".
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the cases where "army -- shot the would-be cops", from odessa to what have you, 2016 turkey, the point remains : shooting the larping pantsuit until no pantsuit left willing to larp is the only way.
asciilifeform: palestine winners not called yet, arguably, so i'ma leave'em alone; but what am i missing re serbs ? cuz iirc the 'larpers' won in the end
mircea_popescu: similarily, the palestine situation. you wanna read it in a batshit insane manner, but the truth is that in the 30s-50s there was ~no reason~ for there to be a palestine. and yet, another 50ish years later, the us recognized such a state.
mircea_popescu: this worked splendidly well, and through the exact process described : they started shooting the "cop" larpers until no one wanted to larp anymore.
mircea_popescu: now then : the serbs decided to produce a national state out of old yugo, through the process of cleansing a portion of ye olde yugo of everyone else and adding it to serbia.
asciilifeform: lol on whose side, the gypsies?!
mircea_popescu: the elements of that specific conflict were separately, the croats, the bosniaks, the serbs, kosovo, and the albanians. and, i suppose, to be exhaustive, the gypsies.
asciilifeform: iirc the serbs were doing an a++ job of bugspraying it, until intervention
mircea_popescu: there's no speciffic reason clinton wanted or needed kosovo for. the item existed on the ground.
asciilifeform: i'd like to borrow the lens through which mircea_popescu saw his model, but i suspect it dun work with earthling eye.
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- events can always be reinterpreted through a glass so strange nothing is left standing. i dunno that any argument can be brought to the level of broken lens.
mircea_popescu: you know, that suspicion is somewhat on the level of "i suspect surgeon likes knives. because surgeon, geddit ???".
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu actually had a piece re subj, where not only about iliescu, but where all the new managerial class was also ex-party, because nobody else adequately literate, or how did it go )
asciilifeform: even ro '89 'revolution', which i suspect is mircea_popescu's basic model, dun quite fit pattern : old regime croaked precisely when regular army turned on securitate. ( and yet somehow even after this, iliescu -- communist -- ended up on throne )
mircea_popescu: well, i suspect the problem here is that you use a yet-unwritten history book.
mircea_popescu: something along the http://trilema.com/2010/general-sir-charles-james-napier-gcb/#selection-43.0-43.123 problem.
mircea_popescu: because they insist on being led by niggers.
asciilifeform: ( will observe that it seems to take moar bricks/molotovs than the 'dindus' of bmore are able to muster, to date, they 'revolution' ~yearly but it ain't detectable at all from 100km with naked eye )
asciilifeform: if contention is 'tower of shit, takes a few brick' -- i'll buy
mircea_popescu: doesn't take nearly as much to topple a tower of shit as a roman arch.
asciilifeform: eminently != brick throwers
mircea_popescu: every once in a while some rando fucktard straggles in here, "oh, you people aren't the world's only sovereign".
mircea_popescu: depends on what you mean by "crowd". by tsarist books on "what's a crowd", lenin eminently crowd.
mircea_popescu: "oh, wikipedia doesn't recognize those events as such". hurr.
mircea_popescu: consider how the mexican cartel revolution in texas worked out.
mircea_popescu: if you take a narrow "history started in 1993" view, you can arrive at this "army" notion. but the actual equation underlying that ~as well as any other~ applications, is 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()'
mircea_popescu: (James Francis Edward Stuart, tryna be James III)
mircea_popescu: it's the modern version of "breaking the will to larp". but consider the case of the old pretender : for 50 fucking years, the (orange) revolution was stuck killing the wanna-be-cop catholic larpers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which historic revolution actually fits the 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()' model ? erry one i can think of had some participation of regular army with flipped sign bit
mircea_popescu: revolution wins through that specific attrition, and in no other manner.
mircea_popescu: and quite specifically because, "kill the cops, until there's no pantsuit left willing to larp".
mircea_popescu: but yes, http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/images/antifa.gif is the image of the revolution.
mircea_popescu: anyway, cheapness and accessibility are the overwhelming considerations. the half liter and 1 liter plastic bottles more ubiquitous than "human rights"
mircea_popescu: nobody's throwing back flaming plastic bottle, that's for damn sure.
asciilifeform: ( as for frags, even industrially produced item suffers from 'if fuse is long enuff never to run out in yer hand, enemy can throw back' headache )
mircea_popescu: doesn't always break, splatters rather than splashes, and so on.
mircea_popescu: it is inferior in this application, if apparently counterintuitively so.
asciilifeform: glass makes for cheap 'impact fuse' tho, hence why still popular even tho plastic bottles are errywhere
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you throw it correctly. "what good is fused grenade ?!?!?" "you learn how to use it"
mircea_popescu: do the experiment at home, if you will, count the seconds between lighting "fuse" and item turning into flaming puddle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what good does it do if it melts on the ground after rolling off the target ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they ~melt~.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I will take a look for it

mats: oh, the solution that results, imitates napalm stickiness
asciilifeform: mats: what i dunget is why mircea_popescu specified ~plastic~ bottles, these won't break and will harmlessly roll off tank
asciilifeform: mats: traditional ersatz napalm, iirc
mats: mircea_popescu: whats the purpose of styrofoam in the cocktail?
spyked: lobbes, if there aren't more than a couple of feeds, I could also have it join #eulora and you can !1 subscribe feed at your convenience. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: btw, BingoBoingo do you happen to have anywhere saved the original reddit "you guys are power rangers!!!" idiocy ? iirc was during hearn's wrecking fork.
mircea_popescu: i suspect by the same methodology "women's rights" will be a byword for bdsm and "#metoo" another way to say "idiot" in another decade. god knows "you guys are POWER RANGERS!!!" reddit gushing went exactly that way.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : it was fucking amusing to discover that in nicole's generation, "a meme, pl memes" denotes simply... a captioned image. 0 awareness of the entire ~implication~ of social influence and narrative dominance for which the thing was so pompously named by the "words are magic"/"law of hopetraction" crowd.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo qntra got its own bot nao too ?
mircea_popescu: white bois gotta fucking learn already. kill the cops, until there's no pantsuit left willing to larp. do not "peaceful" hurr durr, that does 0.
BingoBoingo: Brb, going to invade a once outlaw culture and see if there is still any rebellion there or if it all got taken over by pussies
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the http://qntra.net/bundles/macronbucks.jpg thing is annoying imho
diana_coman: what, is qntra not tracked by feedbot?
BingoBoingo: ^ Only a few hours left to bid in this month's Pizarro auction
phf: mircea_popescu: ty
mircea_popescu: in other news, i've made such chicken shorba a la grec as was never seen in the new world. off to partake.
asciilifeform: perhaps after coupla yrs of quality folx reading the thing, and live fire in battlefield, some folx will dare to switch'em off.
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz, will point out -- if one is satisfied with the correctness of the algos, the bound tests dun do anyffing useful )
asciilifeform: koch loses surprising amt of cycles to variablewidthisms/heapism.
asciilifeform: ( if one is ready to jump with the parachute, and switch off boundary tests, that gives you another 2x )
asciilifeform: on, e.g., 64bit 'i7', goes roughly 2x of this speed.
asciilifeform: all of these figs strictly concerning ch14, with no other optimiz.
asciilifeform: so given that factors of a 1872b key fit in 1024b ea., double of above will be your encrypt, approx, time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah so take the 2048 figure as base then
asciilifeform: ( granted, this figure does not include hashism, but hashism is a O(N) op )
asciilifeform: for ~decipherment~ if one were to use crt, that'd be a 2 * 0.296 = 0.592s .
asciilifeform: e.g. for mircea_popescu's euloratron, his exp is 64bits, and his pubkeys iirc round to 4096b, so that'll be a 0.028s encipherment.
asciilifeform: for mircea_popescu's in particular, if you shorten the pubexp , you speed up (encipherment strictly) by b/exp, where b is bitness and exp is max len of your exp, times.
asciilifeform: errything after, will be linear (e.g. asm mul, in the end, unrolled comba, etc)
asciilifeform: the bad noose is that this was the last order-of-magnitude speedup up asciilifeform's sleeve
mircea_popescu: not even terrible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: read 2h ago, loox proper ( could like 'chapters' to the concretes in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-03#1877961 , but not essential ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: ftr i never saw live chicken once till usa.
mircea_popescu: frequency of chicken-on-balcony, sorta thing
mircea_popescu: well, i meant in terms of industrial goods supply, not necessarily ic.
