mircea_popescu: for the record, i will state that the average chinese dood will be supported by the chinese govt with 1-300k usd to open shop abroad.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't even be surprised if the explanation for this turns out, in the end, to be an usgological one
asciilifeform: will soon enough, when i polish off ffa
asciilifeform: ( i seem to recall 10minute hash times )
mircea_popescu: that i don't.
mircea_popescu: i lived 5 years on this key.
mircea_popescu: i don't see the problem. i got power.
asciilifeform: but i'll observe that this plane still weights a little much to get off ground
mircea_popescu: and i don't have a slave that eats jam and shits whole prunes. NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE is the controlling bit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no matter how you cut it, however, i dun have a battery that will power a keygeneratory-capable comp for a month. and neither does anybody else.
asciilifeform: soooooo i measured time of 10,000 8192b mults,

mircea_popescu: not yours, py gmp i mean
asciilifeform: i suppose i'm stuck actually measuring time of N (large N) mult ops, rather than exp
mircea_popescu: i'd have thought it's within rounding error.
asciilifeform: i dunno how to read that
asciilifeform: nao where do i get a 470x speedup.
mircea_popescu: these "Dangers" are very much hallucinated. chick i bought car from (for cash!) was totally petrified of you know, having money.
asciilifeform: upstack : i suspect that the situation re 'borrow mortgage and run away into btc' is entirely similar to old su 'run into dollars'. many (most?) would have nodded to 'sell motherland', 'but nobody's buying her!'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'better position' i admit is a poor phrasing. moar of 'give arsonist 10x the petrol'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll admit to a complete puzzlement re which 'it' i 'have there' 'and not here'

asciilifeform: ( i.e. if 'lafond's mother' could cash in, even at a loss, the house into non-usgolade )

BingoBoingo: http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=8142 << "Her attorney informed us this morning, that although the deed is being assigned to my sister, my brother and I, that if my mother requires nursing home care through Medicare at any point over the next five years, that the Feds will take the house to pay the bills. " ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( but i dun work in this circus, so nfi )
phf: i saw a lot of covfefe signs all over seattle, next to "#blm" etc.

mircea_popescu: i didn't let my security ppl follow me around all the time.
mircea_popescu: no i meant in your example.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675561 << i reread the mega-thread, and it seems that i promised mircea_popescu an algo ! and never iirc posted... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why i put it in
asciilifeform: i could live with 'too few bits? yer stuck with lower P, and oh here i'll print the P'
mircea_popescu: p-value worship, as such, numerically. i betcha if i told him i have a dentistry certificate he'd be impressed.
asciilifeform: and i did ask 'why?!!!'
asciilifeform: as i understand it was a statistical ('p value') demand by the author.
mircea_popescu: i read gb. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got one here with 16G and counting
mircea_popescu: not that i've seen
mircea_popescu: "oh, but the only reason i even discuss that generazl point is to try and sell you cheetos"
mircea_popescu: opposite i mean to the general. like "making rng more complex is silly -- here, use tyhis broken one"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:54 asciilifeform: all i solidly know of the tptacek fella is his reaction to phuctor.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 01:44 mircea_popescu: ~if i am~ a drug dealer and i burn down your house, you'll what ? file a police report ? go on the local news network with a teary eyed "no one could have predicted that if i get pissy with people who break the law for a living i might end up with a burned down house" ?
mircea_popescu: i'll say this much : that never in my history, with ANY woman, was it the case the mother didn't go some variant of apeshit and i repressed her into irrelevancy.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, old women. who the fuck understands the mechanism of their trying to ruin the world.
asciilifeform: but i suspect mircea_popescu would have liked. brazil.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-28 14:38 asciilifeform: soooo asciilifeform was taking a morning walk and saw a sight straight out of a mircea_popescu article. teenage chick standing in doorway, her mother (?) packing something into car, in front yard. chick then lifts her shirt and reveals naked cunt, and smiles. mother goes apeshit, screaming in, i think, portuguese, even now, i can almost hear it through open window.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-28 14:34 sina: I see here everyone seems to know/use lisp and it's a lang I have almost 0 exposure to
asciilifeform: i have not only, believe, a sewing machine here, but other power tools actuated with pedals. but see the thread.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675869 <<< this is not a bad idea on the face, get an old singer or w/e. i might've even suggested it way back when. they do have a lot of inertia thop ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-28 09:12 sina: thanks to clarification from mircea_popescu Framedragger and asciilifeform I have refactored for statelessness, which led to a significant amount of unnecessary code being deleted!
sina: mircea_popescu: mornin. I rejigged the gossipthing. I think what I have now reflects more closely what was discussed earlier. however I also think the spec vastly differs so may be worthwhile adding a disclaimer to the existing one or writing an entirely new one

sina: I only learned recently that python was created for use on Amoeba OS
mod6: i don't use emacs or clisp or anything like that.
mod6: i did start getting into scheme last year though.
mod6: i'm a lisp n00b.
sina: I see here everyone seems to know/use lisp and it's a lang I have almost 0 exposure to ☟︎
sina: I do think it makes a very good prototyping tool
sina: it made me think about how I pretty much default to it for most problems above the complexity threshold of single line bash things
sina: mod6: haha I just remembered I was reading logs yesterday and found one line where you said you don't like python :P
sina: I was thinking about the latest iteration which is much simpler, I think I might try and convert the TCP bit to UDP tomorrow
shinohai: I can assure you that pic isn't sanctioned by the vatican at all
sina: I prefer atheists myself
asciilifeform: jurov: i did, same problem
sina: FWIW, what I have now is also nothing like the spec on trilema.com :P

PeterL: from old thread: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-11#1641818 << where I work, we do stuff in excel, and every spreadsheet gets printed along with a copy of the formula view and these go together through a data audit ☝︎
sina: ok for real time to vegetate now, enjoy the day all, I will spend some time on rejigging gossipdthing later and probably be back with more dumb questions at that point
sina: mmmm bbq I love me some bbq pork
mircea_popescu: i do make a fire now and again.
mircea_popescu: lemme fish it out i guess
sina: re this http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675484 ...here is one funny fact I learned today! ☝︎
sina: speaking of birds, I read this yest: https://archive.fo/bvoGR
mircea_popescu: i've seen some awesome bird-bird rape since i've been here btw. you have NO FDUCKING IDEA what birds do.
mircea_popescu: i don't want to grind myself by the measure of some 9.60 an hour mexicans in a kitchen somewhere.
mircea_popescu: see, because if she is too slow, i don't just SAY she's too slow. she fixes it. and if she dun fix it fast enough i got whips to help along. what's the gps do ? it doesn't afford you any agency towards the pizzeria. yet you're wartching. so what do you do ? you turn inward, educate ~yourself~.
sina: mircea_popescu: my perspective is that I am just trying to implement what appears to be an interesting spec. for the reason of being interested in implementing that spec. so when I ask for tmsrthing clarification, it is just in terms of spec, not in terms of "making a thing" ...if that makes sense
sina: the future is not all bad. I order pizza and can see its current progress in the store and GPS tells me its location en route
sina: I mean I *can* go off and do my own thing, but then I am making a sinathing not a tmsrthing
asciilifeform: then when i say 'timestamps not produced by yourself are promisetronic' it will immediately click in your brain.
asciilifeform: sina: i recommend to also review logs re 'protocolic vs promisetronic' concept
mircea_popescu: hey, i like it.
sina: oh yeah. I'm actually on holidays from work this week, that is why I'm around hassling y'all at all hours
sina: the weather is shit so I am just going to order a pizza and sit in the dark
