a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 19:00 asciilifeform: i have 'p' structured such that all it wants i/o-wise is a 'getbyte' and 'putbyte' that operator can replace with whatever
asciilifeform: i am counting whole shebang
asciilifeform: i dunno how to fit a bignumtron in 100
asciilifeform: ( the question of whether it actually takes the mb -- will be settled when i get around to implementing )
asciilifeform: and i will note, if a cipher system REQUIRES a MB of source, it is not a cipher system but an overcomplicated practical joke
asciilifeform: currently i also suspect that the whole ecc 'fashion' was instituted specifically to prevent a ffa-style treatment.
asciilifeform: currently i strongly suspect that it is possible to produce a technically valid ecdsa sig that will choke 1 particular ecctron but NOT another particular one.
asciilifeform: which are a fairly heavy chunk of voodoo, i've been slowly chewing through.
asciilifeform: i suspect that the real forkgold is in the ecc routines.
mircea_popescu: right. but i wouldn't say this qualifies as any sort of check.
asciilifeform: i didn't say it was a bigger woop.
p0nziph0ne: i do not feel enslaved personal, but the system makes lot of people to money slaves, loosing its value daily
mircea_popescu: p0nziph0ne i see.
p0nziph0ne: mircea_popescu: i am pretty free in what i am doing, i may choose the topics by myself, its a comfortable position because i always look out for optimizations whether its automation or security as a benefit for all, employees, company/customers and of course through automation less workload for me
ag3nt_zer0: i see you were referencing
asciilifeform: i'ma check when i get home to the torture room.
mircea_popescu: hm, actually i think bb has it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... though i can see what mircea_popescu means. prb would not, iirc, eat a highS block. and several other types that trb happily eats. << PRB will eat high S when in block. Will fail to propagate high S until mined.
p0nziph0ne: asciilifeform: but learning is a doing for me, or i might not get your question yet
p0nziph0ne: i had a steady learning curve
p0nziph0ne: i work in the IT for more than 10 yrs
p0nziph0ne: mircea_popescu: i like my work, its not hard for me at all, tbh i am bored its too easy atm, so i put more time into reading and finding interesting channels like this one
mircea_popescu: since deedbot reads its rss anyway, i suppose the altenrate route is to go through archive.
asciilifeform: i dun have anything vital packagewise there. strictly civilian bl0g
asciilifeform: esp the part where i never have to fiddle with it at all.
asciilifeform: the difference that if i moved it literally ANYWHERE it would cost thousands/mo to get same performance
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i get total ddosproofness ( tested empirically ) with five-nines uptime.
p0nziph0ne: what i found out then was mindblowing
p0nziph0ne: i read "when you care about privacy have a look at monero" in linux reddit
a111: Logged on 2016-11-24 23:49 pete_dushenski: i keep getting forwarded to www.www.loper-os.org lol. wondering if i muntzed the /etc/hosts file or what.
p0nziph0ne: i am glad i have found this channel
asciilifeform: ... though i can see what mircea_popescu means. prb would not, iirc, eat a highS block. and several other types that trb happily eats.
asciilifeform: ( i suppose -- 'since nao' )
asciilifeform: many old boxes that took lpc rom can be upgraded to bigger one, i will also note.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-01 15:40 mircea_popescu: by the time they gotta try and farm cred by advertising on my fucking name, i would expect even the dumbest of the dumb in the crowd could perhaps figure out who's who and what's what.
asciilifeform: i'd really prefer one with NEITHER x86 nor arm ( say, superH ) but can't have everything.
asciilifeform: today there are probably other , similar boxes on the market, it's been >year since i bothered to look
asciilifeform: i found it when searching for year+ for suitable (GB/s nic, inexpensive) pogolikes
shinohai: I think I spoke breifly w/ danielpbarron abt it
asciilifeform: i also have a port for that other pogo-like thing, whose name escapes me at the present moment, 4 core beast, fiddybux or so
asciilifeform: ( the kernel bringup is the fiddly bit, and i got it going nice an' smooth )
mircea_popescu: i don't think niggers & pantsuits got so badly humiliated by anything in history. bitcoin rocks lol.
asciilifeform: i suspect the pogos would fetch moar moolah if there were yet a gentoo for it
asciilifeform: i have a collection of tarballs, and turning'em into a mirror is on the conveyor.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-31#1691587 << i nearly missed this spiffy piece ☝︎
asciilifeform: can't say that i do !
asciilifeform: i was thinking constant 'e'
mircea_popescu: even today, if i'm trying to reference a girl it's 50% gonna be "you know, that one, with the hair". literally. then the girls have to sort out if i mean jodie foster or that chick we fucked once three months ago.
mircea_popescu: it's how i learned all the physics constants say, "fuck me if i have to check one more fucking time!"
mircea_popescu: for a few months i had to run and check, but eventually brain was "fuck this shit, im learning it".
mircea_popescu: in fairness, when i was about 4 or 5 or so my parents wrote various pghone numbers of interest (such as my grandmother) on pieces of paper and afixed them about eye height around the house.
asciilifeform: trinque: i dun think comp is practical for any other level
trinque: I've only been using the tappyputer for flash card, pretty narrow part of "learn language"
asciilifeform: i think of 'fluency' as when i can translate poem
mircea_popescu: ie, it's not "when i can sort-of mangle my english statements of my thoughts into pashtun", but when "i came up with this perfectly pashtun form of what i was thinking i have nfi how to put in english".
asciilifeform: anyway 'translate this' gamez don't beat harem method, noshit.jpg. but they beat learning by reading spam, which is how i did, e.g., ro
mircea_popescu: imo fine criterion for "am i living in civilised country".
mircea_popescu: i never saw that to usefully work.
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-31#1691587 << ty for writing this up danielpbarron. I'll surely be leveraging this in round 2 of my general Gentoo quest even ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "oh anglotards have no male role models". well i wonder why the fuck that is ? maybe they're not born, yes ? somehow birth proportions changed because tiresome old spinsters say so. totally not because, to pick a random example, that the same trite old spinsters purported to give "bring your daugther to the slaughter" a "golden raspberry" for "worst original song" in 89, before being rescued by iron maiden into topping the ch
mircea_popescu: by the time they gotta try and farm cred by advertising on my fucking name, i would expect even the dumbest of the dumb in the crowd could perhaps figure out who's who and what's what. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno what i'm basing this wild notion on, really. i mean they're all truthful, useful and sane news venues, rite.
mircea_popescu: i guess the "everyone blathering about bitcoin was wrong, #trilema was right" articles are mysteriously not going to get published by bitcoin.com, coinbase.fakenews and etcetera.
mod6: ahh, haha. they filmed that movie at some arenas I used to play in all the time.
jurov: oh the morning broke, i get it
phf: there's nothing good about any of this. i thought scorsese would know better, but there's no defense against old age
phf: i saw him in the horrible wolf of wall street and then later in war dogs. both are millennial updates of greater movies, later one being a take on "lord of war". he basically plays the same character, young annoying and smug jew who gets what he wants on chutzpah, until he doesn't.
mircea_popescu: whisper in my ear clarifies i was thinking of one emma watson.
mircea_popescu: phf i had to google this hill dood, and i still don't know who he is.
phf: i sort of assumed that chris penn and jonah hill is the same person. there was probably one in the 60-70s also
mircea_popescu: honestly i thought madonna was married to a horse.
mod6: I just couldn't remember
mod6: yeah, i've got some friends who learned/speak spanish now because of their co-workers.
mircea_popescu: i expect nothing but spanish spoken huh
BingoBoingo: <mod6> but again, i never get to use it. << Get a lumber yard gig
mircea_popescu: oh i wrote it ?
phf: i think i watched it on trilema review, ended up skipping through mostly
mod6: i'll have to checkout poolhall junkies
mircea_popescu: i liked, sure. but the others seemed better.
mircea_popescu: i think "dick" makes, phonetically, a better huy than cock or anything else. has a nice ring to it.
phf: i'm not even sure how i would approach above sentence if i was trying to fully relay the nuance and the ambiguity
mod6: It's crazy. I'm guilty of this as well. My spelling is horrid.
mod6: I tell people all the time here that people not even from here speak/write better english than we do.
phf: err, i started translating before that sentence about "actually proper english..." etc.
mircea_popescu: phf no but i mean the FORMAL translation.
mircea_popescu: phf at any rate i have proof! of some cursory russian interest even before meeting alf!
mod6: I noticed, four different words for 'fucking': ????? ????? ????? ?????????
mod6: i've been trying to pick up some russian just from all the damn unicode pasted in here.
mircea_popescu: i trust no other.
mircea_popescu: i was buzzed enough to not have noticed, but i was talking spanish at her and she was talking portuguese back at me
mircea_popescu: anyway, portuguese and spanish are the lulziest in this vein. at some party i chatted with this girl for a little, and eventually i asked her why does she have such a thick accent ? "because i'm speaking portuguese".
mod6: but again, i never get to use it.
mod6: I learned german first, and that took me about 6mos to a year when i was 11 or 12. then when i was ~18 i learned spanish in like... well pretty quick, 2-3 mos. its easy.
mod6: I suppose for me, the trouble with my german and spanish is usage. i never get to use it, so I tend to lose it :<
mod6: I wish I could learn a lang in six weeks.
mircea_popescu: i was reading the ro review and it came out "better rewrite than translate".
mod6: ah, right. all .ro. i used to just translate the stuff. however, it was mentioned in the logs, since im not sure what exactly is being lost in such translations.
f1maze: mod6: even more related I have a meeting with my new tax accountant next week because I was an idiot and brought cold storage online -- did a couple big trades on GDAX (lost big too) a couple months ago. Now I'm nervous
mircea_popescu: ie, there's 26 other people could vouch for him if i need them to.
