IamAGirlsoInever: If I had some coins I would probably use them to attempt to find either cracks or other bugs in reference implementations. I could always just use the testnet, or setup my own.
IamAGirlsoInever: I am always honestly dishonest. I really can't tell a lie very well, so I just tell the truth and use that to lie.
IamAGirlsoInever: they should not. I'm not offering anything in return.
hanbot: i'm pretty sure you're supposed to put things in water *before* you wring them, .ro clearly backwards
asciilifeform: i admit that i dun quite grasp the logic : what, if usg makes 9,001 of these, the actual phuctor will disappear..?
asciilifeform: pretty good transl i daresay
asciilifeform: btw phf i also own a ru knuth, somebody at umd threw it out once ( or perhaps died ... )
phf: i wonder if that's a later update. i have a fairly recent print from early 2000s
phf: all three of mine are in book boxes (i just moved) but they definitely have cyrillic (as well as all the other friends of the people, e.g. al khwarizmi spelled in arabic, japanese etc.)
asciilifeform: at least vol2, which is what i have in my bed right now and can't be arsed to get up and see 1 and 3
asciilifeform: phf: i dunno which edition you have, but in mine they are in latinate
phf: that i can see
phf: tex is like a handful of carefully crafted tools with gb's of liquishit™ on top. "we have this elegant vpatch of a carefully crafted solution" "can i use it?" "lol nobody uses it, we have a modern option with unicode! and lua! and packages! comes as a GIT REPO!111"
phf: it's the simplest solution i found to typeset cyrillic with plain tex, but i can't get font mapping to work..
shinohai: I think I forgot to add the archive.is to his tweet, article underwent revision before published.
gabriel_laddel_p: how it is not 100% obvious I read everything by now...
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: y'know, I'm neg-rated so cannot up myself
asciilifeform: i could easily think of worse job to be enslaved for.
gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, I'd like to apologize for the spelling errors above. on an apple computer & it spell corrects me / removes text / sends messages I didn't intend to send. Eg, "incidentally ascii" was supposed to be prefaced with "Amen. "
asciilifeform: i'ma leave the white powders to the specialists.
asciilifeform: and srsly, they have nfi that chiral column exists, i am supposed to believe.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: if I had experience with the cartel's I'd be making money in the way described above.
asciilifeform: whyd'dya quit. i wouldn't quit.
a111: Logged on 2016-01-22 21:56 gabriel_laddel: I found 20 XC6216-2HQ240Cs
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: yes, but I'm neg-rated by MP so cannot up myself
ben_vulpes: only tool i need in this life i keep between my legs
a111: and i didn't even need to bring any tools!
mircea_popescu: or did "douchecanoe" fail coinage ? i recall all sorta sheilas pushing it pretty hard a few years back.
ben_vulpes: see also "i don't check my privilege, i /leverage/ it."
mircea_popescu: how the fuck their thinkers work i have no idea, but probably something with symmetrical scintillations.
mircea_popescu: ah right, i forgot about that.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: didja see the list of hated business i posted a few days ago?
mircea_popescu: mkay, i'm guessing that's enough for a day.
mircea_popescu: "here's something else than what i was talking about doing something else than what i was talking about, therefore."
asciilifeform: http://departments.agri.huji.ac.il/zabam/myimages/Beta-Packard.jpg << the type i had
asciilifeform: and i actually had this device, and used every day, at one time
asciilifeform: now i keep waiting for mircea_popescu to say 'you would use beta decay, fool'
mircea_popescu: " only co-incident (on 2 detectors) gamma is picked up" requires i break fundamental qm.
asciilifeform: 'Facebook is the third of what is probably a quartet (or quintet) of the destruction of the innocence of computing. First was viruses, second was malware, third is facebook. I suspect fourth will be related to control of networking itself, and fifth will be licensing of high level computer ability. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.' << mega-lulzy, ty Framedragger
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 22:16 asciilifeform: previously i thought that you could not have an auditable single-crystal rng, but possibly this is not so : if you make it so that only co-incident (on 2 detectors) gamma is picked up, you can 'yoke'-audit 2 units by placing back to back around test source.
mircea_popescu: i think they took a up down the street
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i know of no such algo
Framedragger: asciilifeform: on second thought, i didn't have an idea in mind. i just thought "huh, how to have continuous/streaming verification of data, i.e. not have to send data in signed *chunks* (if want to have verified/signed data)"
Framedragger: i guess no way to use luby code or equivalent on tcp huh
jurov: idea: what about providing fuckgoat output in realtime, as tcp stream. maybe i'll do when i get some
trinque: I like to live dangerously
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 17:42 asciilifeform: while we're on subj, i'll say that there is probably a good reason why most commercial faux-rng makers don't offer a sample download.
jurov: i had and experiment too, in 3 months went up to 420k blocks, but found out the cheapo ssd failed
BingoBoingo: In other news negrodamus finished sync experiment a few days ago for a roughly 6 month sync time in the wild with spinning rust. Is at present mostly keeping up (i.e. 3 blocks behind atm)
Framedragger: aha i guess that's the main uh political bottleneck
asciilifeform: i know folx who might like it.
asciilifeform: in all fairness, sony is infamous for this, i had their original prs500
jurov: i hoped you say it can be rooted or something
asciilifeform: i also see 0 mention of os
asciilifeform: i already have lcd toys with that res tho
trinque: only use I'd have for such a thing
asciilifeform: jurov: i have a large collection of various einktrons
BingoBoingo: But yes, I am indeed not a bot.
NoMyName: Ok, I know what a lemma is, I have had the occasional quandry, I don't know what the three premises are?
BingoBoingo: I am a man! I am a newsman!
NoMyName: I have seen your name everywhere in the blogs of record. Bingo! Boingo! Are you a person, or a bot?
mircea_popescu: anyway. the overarching point is that risk per se is not the problem. unmanageable risk, of the sort that arises in poorly defined situations, is the problem. which is why open source is fundamentally useless, be it in the fdorm of ubuntu, or wikipedia. who do i negrate ?
lobbes: (+mircea_popescu) mod6 i can't imagine lobbes 's have any issue lending the bot, once this is all in place. << yeah, no issue here. I'd be honored to have genuine entropy traded via bot
asciilifeform: i buy barrels of water. can laugh at it just the same.
mircea_popescu: maybe i wanna play some browswer game.
trinque ranks "I live in an arena where men stand on their names." as only dream
mircea_popescu: should i need entropy i'd rather wotbuy it than os-"make" it
mircea_popescu: i'm somewhere with a laptop.
asciilifeform: now i'm curious
mircea_popescu: i can conceive that i'd trust x to rng more than i'd trust myself, in some conditions.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what this is about. you have some sort of objection to other people platying with the bots or ?
asciilifeform: trinque: fwiw i intend to be quite dead, also can't help.
shinohai: asciilifeform: igolder used to do that I think.
shinohai staring at teaser tits ..... "I'd like to buy your most expensive bottle of champagne"
mod6: but it's crossed my mind a number of times since i started testing these things.
mod6: i actually looked at it lastnight to see if I could start my own auction for this exactly.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i can't imagine lobbes 's have any issue lending the bot, once this is all in place.
mircea_popescu: kinda how this works. by the timpe peopple pay bots here for rng, we're simply owning the world and no more. which is why i said maybe premature.
mod6: i can't know who would want this, but i'd imagine i wouldn't discriminate on who would want it. just as long as they PAY.
asciilifeform: ( though i'm prepared to hear from mircea_popescu how even this, is not so )
asciilifeform: i dun think anyone ever got rich, by pitching to'em
mod6: and as far as "sample" perhaps that's not how it works. maybe like via trinque's thing or something. but i agree, there is some sort of model here.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 i'd imagine price'd work out to somewthing like double the commercial cost of bw, or somesuch. << sure, something. > than 0 tho.
asciilifeform: while we're on subj, i'll say that there is probably a good reason why most commercial faux-rng makers don't offer a sample download. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'd imagine price'd work out to somewthing like double the commercial cost of bw, or somesuch.
mod6: well, i figured, im not really sure I do this anyway, but lets make a market. i'll say .1, he'll say .0001 and somewhere, we hvae price discovery.
mircea_popescu: i suspect most of the .1 btc you came up with is payment friction, rather than anything else.
asciilifeform: actually i have dulap log on dedicated display, and every phuctor hit in l0gz is a hit from same ip, belonging to 'archive'.
jurov: no, i see it in 1st. archive.is on 2nd
asciilifeform: ( incidentally every time i hear about it, i'm a little surprised that it still exists )
jurov: i dont remember using anything microsoft from here
jhvh1: asciilifeform: i fuck goats - YouTube: <https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAr_ezvLRxvE>; RobustPopehatAgenda on Twitter: "If you fuck goats because it ...: <https://twitter.com/popehat/status/833525845046071297%3Flang%3Den>; # fuckgoats hashtag on Twitter: <https://twitter.com/hashtag/fuckgoats>
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: computer desk | Cool shit I want! | Pinterest | The o'jays, Awesome ...: <https://www.pinterest.com/pin/411868328392348642/>; 30 Things To Do When you are Bored and have a Computer: <http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/03/30-things-to-do-when-you-are-bored-and-have-a-computer>; ​The 20 Most WTF Magical Items in Dungeons & Dragons: (1 more message)
mircea_popescu: i'm not, nor do i give a shit. but by some definitions of "public" (ie, i'm lazy, let it come to me) fg is also not public. whereas what people are working on is not really the public's problem anyway.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't. for all i know, mircea_popescu works on it, in his dirigible, and never said a word.
mircea_popescu: and note that i didn't "immediately think". you asked me "what would be point of poorman yacht" and i correctly said whoring. rich people use them for sport, but i don't see you racing your concoction. if for no other reason then because regattas are always fulla hopeful hos, and generally very crowded.
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't do consumption-on-credit.
mircea_popescu: and i've yet to meet a rich dude who had kids for which i'd pay to own what he paid to build.
mircea_popescu: also, if your spare time is not monetizable you are not a person and don't belong. i don't mean here, i mean living, at all. #1 reason to off self.
asciilifeform: incidentally pretty good analogy -- a handful of very rich ~and eccentric~ folx had personally-owned pdp8, say; but many in fact thought 'computer is neato, but only good for accounting, i'll buy one for office', just as mircea_popescu immediately went 'yacht is for whoring, wtf, idiot, to think of living in one'
