asciilifeform: otherwise you will have no end of folx begging for 'just one' exception , and in the end devolve to socially-engineerable usgism

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757327 << the important bit ( and iirc i emphasized this in the lamport piece ) is to agree IN ADVANCE ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( it will be obvious to the reader, why. but i'll keep it a fun surprise )

asciilifeform: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757328 , today's ffa-series item will appear tomorrow, apparently was too big a bite for asciilifeform's mere 1wk ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform still can't think of anything like a hypothesis for this

asciilifeform working on unexpectedly massive ffa-series piece

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1757221 << dunforget... забайкальский комсомолец ! ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( why use ~this~ type of delivery, i cannot say ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: betcha there's a miner, dropped in by conniving chair-warmer ☟︎

asciilifeform: holyfuq there's several MB (!!) of js in'ere

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: sores?

asciilifeform: r41n: nope, it's about noncommutative algebras, btc is 3 doors down

asciilifeform: oh hm loox like it was ~guest~ of neighbour

asciilifeform: hey it ain't my problem...

asciilifeform: cops , ceremonies, whole orchestra

asciilifeform: lol apparently asciilifeform's neighbour od'd

asciilifeform: ( sometimes yes, end up in sv, but as active perpetrators of scamola, rather than foot-soldiers )

asciilifeform: those want youngsters.

asciilifeform: naaah

asciilifeform: and failed tenurist... well, depending on what kind.

asciilifeform: and there's no shortage of would-be footballists

asciilifeform: ~same odds as in pro sport

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1757073 << in living memory it's been a rarity. approx as many tenures issued , per yr, as senatorships ☝︎

asciilifeform: aaah

asciilifeform: some of the oldest halls at uni of md had similar flavour, even smell, decour, etc. until recently torn down

asciilifeform: very 'agronomist'-flavoured .

asciilifeform: on the walls.

asciilifeform: lotta pictures of 'prize' farm animals etc

asciilifeform: ( there was a wholly unrelated event there , many many yrs ago )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hilariously, asciilifeform's been to the national '4h' hq

asciilifeform: ( though i suppose depends whom, tenured prof's feudal throne sucks , i suppose, least )

asciilifeform: it sucketh mightily

asciilifeform: nope. for instance university plankton are stateemployees

asciilifeform: loox like a md item, naught to do with fed 'gs'

asciilifeform: wassat

asciilifeform: !!up indiancandy1

asciilifeform: dafuq is that , shinohai

asciilifeform: imho plenty of kochs to go around.

asciilifeform: for what do we need an n-th koch

asciilifeform: oh here it begins...

asciilifeform: !#s rezistenta prin cultura

asciilifeform: hm?

asciilifeform: ( sores, for the dedicated entomologist : https://archive.is/TMSQ3 )

asciilifeform: 'You know it is one thing to think gold has some marvelous store of value because man has no way of inventing more gold or getting it very easily, so it has the advantage of rarity. Believe me, man is capable of somehow creating more bitcoin. … They tell you there are rules and they can't do it. Don't believe them. When there is enough incentive, bad things will happen.'

asciilifeform: and , on top of this ,

asciilifeform: didjaknow!!

asciilifeform: n Earth you should think about … There's just a whole lot of things that aren't going to work for you. Figure out what they are and avoid them like the plague. And one of them is bitcoin. … It is total insanity."'

asciilifeform: from same rag, meanwhile, 'Warren Buffett's top lieutenant, Charlie Munger, is a bitcoin skeptic. Munger was asked for his views on cryptocurrencies during a University of Michigan's Ross School of Business event. "I think it is perfectly asinine to even pause to think about them," Munger said. "It's bad people, crazy bubble, bad idea, luring people into the concept of easy wealth without much insight or work. That's the last thing o

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in goxologies, https://archive.is/fFman

asciilifeform: ( i cut out 10 pounds for each 1 remaining, but naturally could not cut into the living meat , principle was 'what is actually called in gpg' )

asciilifeform: complete with pile of c macros

asciilifeform: astonishing liquishit, and it takes quite a bit to astonish asciilifeform

asciilifeform: the doodles thing might apply to some of shitoshi's warcrimes. but not here.

asciilifeform: not 'doodles', nope.

asciilifeform: that was asciilifeform's point. the 'mens rea' is screamingly there

asciilifeform: right

asciilifeform: mpi_tdiv_q_2exp is in fact used in primegen.c , but in such a way that its brokenness doesn't affect the output , 'accidentally'

asciilifeform: i.e. discussion of the 'paint'.

asciilifeform: grep for q = mpi_copy( nminus1 );

asciilifeform: and, as diana_coman describes, its brokenness artfully painted over

asciilifeform: was used tho

asciilifeform: 'This bug has been with us since the version 0.0.0 of GnuPG' << lol!!

asciilifeform: iirc the coinola stolen by usg from btce et al, was scheduled for waterfall , so possibly it, nao.

asciilifeform: oheyheyheylbj, 'cheap' coinz!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only promoted to gs2 if the mops kept in top working order, all halls swept, i suppose

asciilifeform: afaik those dun physically exist ( they start at iirc 5-7 in most ministries )

asciilifeform: howsthat

asciilifeform: mucho dinero, BingoBoingo , y muere en 2-3 años

asciilifeform: заключённый

asciilifeform: originally abbrev , з/к ☟︎

asciilifeform: зек

asciilifeform: ( usn lost a bunch to h2 pops, in ww2 )

asciilifeform: not in own submarine's battery deck, ideally

asciilifeform: truck cells ( which is what these are ) also vent H2 when charging

asciilifeform: i think 100 of these would fall through my floor

asciilifeform: alltheelectronicsyouwish for 30sec...

asciilifeform: aaaaaa see.

asciilifeform: use in ups, is deepcycle, potentially 100% discharge

asciilifeform: cranking is a few seconds, a few % discharge

asciilifeform: massive diff

asciilifeform: they aren't, dollars to doughnuts, warrantied for deepcycling

asciilifeform: that's a hint

asciilifeform: you mentioned cranking tho, as advertised application

asciilifeform uses these here

asciilifeform: ~dozen then

asciilifeform: uhhh

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it's a lipo tho, it's good for mebbe hundred cycles

asciilifeform slowly eats log, omfg the aol

asciilifeform: pretty great for starting yer dirigible's 4 3kHp maybachs...

asciilifeform: nifty

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lipo cell + cap iirc

asciilifeform: you can press to any node.

asciilifeform: ( per node, really )

asciilifeform: per leaf.

asciilifeform: there's definitionally 1 correct graph traversal for any given vtree.

asciilifeform: but instead implementing the Troo Algo.

asciilifeform: by not copying asciilifeform's orig. hasty, wartime vtron.

asciilifeform: phf did it correctly !

asciilifeform: so to expand : we take each 'out' , and follow it back as far as we can. ( when we meet a nil, we stop recursing, in that branch. ) when we meet a non-nil, recurse. when the recursion unwinds, the actual unixpatch (or phfian patch, for that matter) util invocations, happen.

asciilifeform: ( the linear flow display was also a mistake, it misleads people, does not actually help anybody. really ought to have exclusively tree-flow display, as mod6 had ) ☟︎
