mircea_popescu: i have her walk in front of me ; and JUST
as i'm explaining that nobody'd better fucking molest my guest or else, i feel some schmuck interlacing himself in front of me.
mircea_popescu: the traditional period greeting among boys, etched
as it finds itself in my memory, went "ma, tu poti asa ?" ie, "hey, can you do this ?". girls tended to challenge each other rather to knowledge of particular conventions, "you read so and so book ?! SO DID I!!!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but anyway, the amateur,
as a category, is very much a 19th century late-protestantism invention, along with such greats
as "altruism" etcetera. they have little anchoring in reality, being
as they are the waste byproducts of a specific stage of industrial society.
diana_coman: uhm, maybe this particular love-mistake is so significant in practice to really make the distinction that no, they are not retarded, they are just ...dunno, love-seeking? and anyway then...why is this not just retarded
as well?
mircea_popescu: making jesus (not
as either the historical character or the pre-1800s various layers of reported historical character) the elliot of amateurs.
mircea_popescu: (anyway, the distinction is spurious, dilettante is LITERALLY italian for "amateur", comes from the same root
as gave delight in english)
mircea_popescu: body is entirely
as unbroken
as anything can ever aspire to be.
mircea_popescu: hence "amateur mistakes" -- mistakes apt to be produced by one who acts
as if the world/item/tool/whatever IS HIS MOTHER
mircea_popescu: you can be an inexperienced professional, just
as you can be an experienced amateur.
mircea_popescu: seems to me deepfry monkey essentially amateur ; my expert sluts
as pro
as it can possibly get.

as i understand, in koch world fermat test uses ~exactly same # of cycles
as 1 shot of m-r )
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-30#1890713 << the fundamental problem with these amateur cryptographers (
as well
as with other amateur everythings, from amateur presidents of the united states to amateur socioideologues on fetlife ) is that they go by what "is" rather than by what ~does~.
☝︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform, read also next para
as in any case there isn't much point to not do M-R if you do it at all
mircea_popescu: this lasts
as long
as it lasts, but if you're actually me and task girls with finding it, and then they (incomprehensibly, and inexplicably) fail and so you cut the town up into squares and have them search it square by square and still NOTHJING turns up, eventually however many months later you can answer authoritatively : the stockyards are bereft of society.
mircea_popescu:
as proven by the fact that ~any~ non-socialism, authoritarian, democratic or howsoever else, is just fucking fine.
mircea_popescu: whiter than 80%+ of the us ;
as dumb
as anything in the congo basin.
mircea_popescu: similarily they don't WRITE anything. su had samizdat BECAUSE REASONS. argentina doesn't have it, nor does it have said reasons. because NO NEED to. might
as well pass legislation to forbid cattle the making of stalin jokes.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Given Argentina's long sink into irrelevancy, the locals tend to think of Argentina
as a diseased extension of Uruguay.
mircea_popescu: the original said "The French don't like being famous for their incapacity of being on time ? Let them fix their watches somehow to the same hour, so they quit going about Paris, apparent adults, with half hour's delta among what their watches show. " and i'm willing to attest even
as late
as LAST DECADE this was a factual state of affairs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a narrative is a set of interconnected events.
as long
as no interconnectedness is proposed, it's not a narrative, whether fictitious or factual. so you could say a painting is plastic fiction (while a photography plastic realism). cuz they're not narrative.
mircea_popescu: yeah, right. because there is such a thing
as experts, and the femstate spawns them.
mircea_popescu: the problem with knowledge :
as reality scales with the set, knowledge scales with the powerset. not even calling it exponential does it justice.
diana_coman: anyways, I'm not pushing this strongly
as "this is how I actually think it was" -
as I said previously, I don't think I know enough to have much to say either way
diana_coman: I suppose the argument is that they still were the same thing i.e. that the fineness & precision differences were not so crucial
as to make the result essentially something else; I can see it
as such and fwiw that'd have been the default way to see it - if not for all the experience of "things that people call X and supposedly is made out of same things
as X but different in implementation"
mircea_popescu: this is obviously an approximation, and it holds
as well
as it holds. but what can you do.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, perhaps re clocks though I keep thinking that the cheap ones were
as clocks
as current smartphones are computers
a111: Logged on 2017-02-17 04:27 phf: re "apprentice
as watchmaker" i picked up first edition of The Marine Chronometer by Gould. i would call it "delightful"
mircea_popescu: lmao. you know, many have tried, none have yet succeeded in guessing
as much
as a title,
as much
as a sentence, afore i publish my brew.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-14 20:45 asciilifeform: btw the orig folktale included mega-line 'and many did the stove crush
as it went'

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-25#1889973 -> didn't rummage
as too late yest but woke up this morning with this: when a= n-1 step 2.2 aka y=a^r mod n becomes y= (n-1)^r mod n; using for instance binomial expansion you have (n-1)^r = n^r + rC1*n^(r-1)*(-1)+rC2*n^(r-2)*(-1)^2+....+rC(r-1)*n*(-1)^(r-1)+(-1)^r; since the whole thing was "mod n", of all those terms you are in fact left with only the last one, aka y = (-1)^r mod n ; r is odd so
diana_coman: it is a leggit witness, yes; do you mean that it's not counted
as it should be?

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: nobody's openrelaying anything. that it's a typical ustard was not in dispute ; that he's doing this manually neither. schmuck is sitting on a couch
as we speak, "surfing" ie trying to load pronz "from google", because "he lives in a society" and etcetera.
mircea_popescu:
as it happens that's not a bot -- 74.90.192.109 is allocated to some schmuck in yonkers, ny, and the timing delays clearly indicate what these fucktards do : RETRY.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> Jacob completed his secondary education in Moscow and thereafter studied at Tbilisi State Academy << i read "thereafter"
as "therefore" and was very confused/amused for a minute
mircea_popescu: he's
as much an "it specialist"
as he is a carpenter, painter or politician. "could do anything!!!"
as sure
as fucksticks, but irl unskilled and unwilling to work.
BingoBoingo: 60 USD registration fee and 16th-30th place offer 50 USD
as the prize
BingoBoingo:
As my ELO is well under the 2400 necessary for a fee waiver and free room I suspect the 60 USD would be better allocated to either a Daschund or cheese
mircea_popescu: no problem, i suppose for
as long
as they keep feeding you, you'll keep vegetating in yourself.
mircea_popescu: and it even begins with the usual pantsuit signature, "
as an X", huh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the abstract claim, "one random round of fermat provides same error probability
as 32 rounds of m-r" is pretty striking.
mircea_popescu: but
as a factual matter, before us-ization ro had a very good legal system ; much like 80 years prior, before sovietization.
mircea_popescu: so did they -- went in 2nd, right AFTER the sitting ro president's salutation and right above what they judged
as the top economiasm.
mircea_popescu: ie, mostly tv stations perceived blogs
as competition, but ~because they actually were~ competition, and winning, couldn't omit stealing their conent. and so the expression "found on the Internet" was invented to avoid saying "we suck, go read this-dood.com instead"
mircea_popescu: (romanian academy published a book in which it included the fraud complaint i issued against their at the time sitting head
as "found on the Internet", an expression at the time famous in ro for being used by various derps)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-18 17:04 mircea_popescu: but anyway, in the us the strictly only avenue left to the dnc is to "pretend" to "ignore". if they engage they get crushed. the party's already gone
as a going concern, for which reason : the only way an imaginary party can continue its imagined hold on worldly things is through "ignoring" them.
mircea_popescu: nor is there such a thing
as Venezuala. did you get your vowels knotted up there ?
mircea_popescu: which is also why there exists such a thing
as m-r witness sets, ie sets of witnesses guaranteed to not be false up to a certain value of candidates
mircea_popescu: specifically because density is uniform, if you ~only~ check say 64 bit numbers
as witnesses (ie, nothing smaller than 2^63) there's a set of composites < certain limit that'll pass ; whereas if you only check 1-63 bit numbers (so the same ~number~ of numbers) there's a set of composites that'll pass, but they're LARGER than the same limit.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Surprisingly quickly. Not all Petro is equal
as Vzla shows
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the recent history of Vzla is informative with respect to the US's future, competing with Argentina.
As recently
as the 1990's Vzla was a rich Germany. Chavez cut it down into a starving Ukraine. Maduro heard the people asking for more socialism and is giving them exactly what they want. Now USG is set to make a Somalia.
mircea_popescu: if you construct a "regime" out of the thin veneer of pop-socialism, myopic
as all get-out and with all the intellectual prowess of earthworms, what the fuck do you expect permanence.
mircea_popescu: "show" has a very specific legal definition: whatever the judge feels like that day. I have been involved in thousands of these SSI cases, and to describe the system
as arbitrary is to describe Blake Lively
as "fair.""
mircea_popescu: otherwise, much
as the conviction rate is 100%, the reversal rate is also 100%.
