asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a fw bug, not silicon , sadly patchable
asciilifeform: coordinated anal waltz, not 'coordinated disclosure'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, oughta have been used in mass rapefest
asciilifeform: 'Intel would like to thank Mark Ermolov and Maxim Goryachy from Positive Technologies Research for working collaboratively with Intel on a coordinated disclosure for CVE-2017-5705.' << oh hey named quislings ftr
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chaum is esp. sad case, was at one time actual thinking d00d, invented afaik hashtronic 'proof of work' , then proceeded to narrowly avoid doing anything useful with it
asciilifeform: at the same time fixing , i strongly suspect, the bug that recently showed promise of making the whole thing removable
asciilifeform: yea stuck doing sumthing with the window.
asciilifeform: other find : 'scotch' tape is not usable in darkroom experiment : it triboluminesces
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform discovered that his bathroom makes an almost worthless dark room -- has window. and after eyes dilate can see that somewhere far away, faint headlights etc
asciilifeform: polaroid actually is known to make ~decent adhoc ~beta~ ( the relevant particle, gamma goes ~right through without any useful effect ) film
asciilifeform: so can't even say anything re exposure.
asciilifeform: btw this is approx same as what they look like if burst unexposed.
asciilifeform: next will suggest , betcha, an actual xray machine
asciilifeform: meeeaanwhile in failed experiments, asciilifeform tried to take an xray of the bolix-ivory die, so as to get moar realistic microscopy quote at some point. method : ra-226 capsule (commercial geiger test src), b&w 'polaroid' film. weakness turns out to be the latter : when developed using rolling pin, fixer pouch bursts, and result is liquishit
asciilifeform: and that thing looks quite drivable. something like a willis.
asciilifeform: will become a series of essays-cum-coad
asciilifeform: relatedly, asciilifeform sawed ffa into independent subunits ( e.g. mults, bitops, divides, etc. ) for smooth compilation, reading, and blogomatics.
asciilifeform: set up the necessary blathers, 'movements', etc.
asciilifeform: the actual reason is the one described in 'death of the american city' -- j00z & puritans allied to nuke the irish and polish catholics in usa
asciilifeform: i.e. the ultimate crime under the inca.
asciilifeform: 'Under its own policies, Facebook should have flagged these ads, and prevented the posting of some of them. Its failure to do so revives questions about whether the company is in compliance with federal fair housing rules, as well as about its ability and commitment to police discriminatory advertising on the world’s largest social network.' << ohnoez, plebes illicitly trying to practice freedom of association
asciilifeform: the gunpoint conveniently provided by usg's unofficial footsoldiers.
asciilifeform: nobody would even contemplate paying the ludicrous 500k-1mil usd for a motherfucking cardboard box, other than at gunpoint.
asciilifeform: whaack: not difficult to add up all of the various 'softfork' liquishit tho -- it shows up as 'cannot decode' on ben_vulpes's blockviewer☟︎
asciilifeform: i bet mircea_popescu patches those!111
asciilifeform: this is more or less a given. what was the last heathen artifact that we found usable exactly as found? i can't recall even one
asciilifeform: wat's wrong with scheme-style simple state machine that knows when to cons a new cell , where symbol names begin/end, and which becomes the car/cdr .
asciilifeform: ( which will not include #. because then all bets off. )
asciilifeform: could even formulate the very definition of a forum, as a set of folx who agree on a minimal readtable.
