mircea_popescu: i didn'
t have what to argue against it back in 2016 or w/e it started (not that i didn'
t see it coming, either) and i've not found anything hence. so...
diana_coman: sure, log in is a liability,fine; so no login, but it doesn'
t follow no online
diana_coman: jurov, admittedly I never used CoinBr so don'
t know much of its previous online presence but I always thought "online" for such a thing meant mpex-style i.e. anyway gpg-based , no?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I don'
t know if anyone asked - I've stated it in the blogpost in clear just the same
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-29#1890613 << in any approach, this is roughly the issue in vzla also : socialists tryna hard to discuss their internal problems, wholly owned and entirely due TO SOCIALISM in terms of external influence. trotsky was "fascist" don'
t you know, and maduro is "authoritarian" and whatnot.
☝︎ 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.
spyked: apologies for the feedbot join-part spam. the latest outage has helped me discover a subtle bug in pm message delivery; feedbot checks whether a nick is online using the ison irc command, and it didn'
t handle the corner case when the ison response is empty.
BingoBoingo: Noriega wasn'
t really sitting on much other than CIA friendship before getting stuffed into a hole
Mocky: wasn'
t it shannon with the otp proof?
mircea_popescu: i confess i'm mildly concerned when i don'
t see these "well understood" shits.
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: the fucking gall of these imbecile schmucks, then turning around going "oh, you shouldn'
t amateur"
phf: i don'
t understand how anyone can read the logs with one eye, this shit's exponential: i'm behind on ffa, so the recent work on e.g. gcd or miller-rabin is particularly slow going.
phf: unfortunately i failed to make careful note of various vpatch appearances. there's been some by people other than asciilifeform and diana_coman where the author didn'
t explicitly request a btcbase upload. so if anyone's explicitly missing a vpatch that they want to be up on btcbase, please leave note with me, privmsg also works
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm digging through stuff and apparently Israel doesn'
t have a strong opinion on Vzla regime change is the US isn'
t going to have a strong opinion on Syria regime change seems to be the sentiment.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Could be China doesn'
t publish their national security export restricted list?
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
mircea_popescu: much like lenses, really, the difference between a very expensive and a very cheap glass wasn'
t substantial, both made of polished glass. but much different in implementation, made of complicatedly boiled glass hand polished over months or not.
mircea_popescu: well, what doesn'
t starve you edifies you or how did it igo.

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

☝︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol what die. i dunget the whiners, either, what sorta office inmate wouldn'
t kill for month of vacation ( even unpaid ) << Maduro's Venezuela has some pretty sweet beaches now forbidden to USG.blue according to intel.
BingoBoingo: Registration doesn'
t close until the 31st or they get enough paid interest. In the interim I'm mulling over the opportunity cost of the tournament versus a pupper versus more cheese.
BingoBoingo: Here in Uruguay we have grass and grass means cows, or rats in locations the cows don'
t fit
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, i dunno if specifically should or shouldn'
t be included in mp-wp, but it's certainly there published to be coopted if useful.
mircea_popescu: you also don'
t have naked women. but fuck me if im going to start budgeting my visuals now.
mircea_popescu: yeah, wasn'
t the us in state of emergency since the 70s ?
diana_coman: perhaps a combination of "I'd much rather NOT have this responsibility so passing it to some abstract group/network HAS to be great" and "all people are ~same and X is a crook therefore all people are crooks therefore can'
t trust someone"
diana_coman: this "trustless" echoes some students' insistence that it's "better to not have to trust someone" - I couldn'
t quite get to the root of it
beetcoin: asciilifeform, of course we have to trust that our CPU isn'
t backdoored unless we start our own fabrication facility. Bitcoin isn'
t perfectly trustless because of that, i'm just saying it should be the goal of governance
a111: Logged on 2017-06-15 18:26 mircea_popescu: in the end the question comes down to, do you feel like a man, or do you feel like a woman ? just don'
t lie to me or lie to me prettily ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "mathematicians know and computer dorks needn'
t worry" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: (i mean, i realise in the us they aren'
t, but w/e, nobody really gives a shit about retardistan)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can'
t copyright legal proceedings, they're public.
mircea_popescu: it started like that, you realise. back in the early days of the confederacy, the us president couldn'
t on his own merit summon enough credit in europe to afford a meal at a decent restaurant. if the local dukes of dorset didn'
t invite them to their table, they'd eat poached eggs brought from home on the side of the road.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform too inept dood, what. they can'
t do shit.
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 doesn'
t specifically care, pantsuit "names" are entirely inconsequential anyway.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-24 15:22 mircea_popescu: there's no option here : if they stay, maduro arrests them, "hostage situation" doesn'
t really wash, us stuck spending next 10 years "negotiating" with a maduro it put in a better position than kim ever was.
mircea_popescu: granted if they don'
t leave and maduro doesn'
t put them in ice, the situation's resolved the other way.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: stupidity characteristically doesn'
t learn from others' personal history -- but if there ever was an example of why the bootblack ~does NOT~ want to raise above his crepidam...
BingoBoingo: Anyways middle class housing in uruguay means maybe a garage. In Vzla middle class housing means a six car garage. The country gets poorer, but can'
t eat garage.
mircea_popescu: just, you know, illiterate simpletons in no sense romanian, because you can'
t be romanian without ready access to cultural reference, the entire nation exists of naught else.

a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 23:18 asciilifeform: can'
t wait for the logical end of this, when they cut e.g. the screen ( 'why do you need a screen, terrorist. talk to the box with mouth..' ) and eventually will ship a

spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889396 <-- there is a !1list command (no extra args) that lists subscriptions for the user who PMs it. however, it doesn'
t work in chan and I didn'
t document it due to its spamminess. feedbot will reply with one rss feed per line, not sure if it would be more appropriate to list rss feeds in a paste or something. curious to hear opinions re this
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the case where "forever-and-ever" promise beneficiary actually brings action against the promiser, "they;'re supposed to feed and clothe me, porca vaca" isn'
t far off.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t know that there ever was a "conviction" that stood other than by sheer disinterest of the convicted.
mircea_popescu: wasn'
t he here last year with the "media company" with no dns resolvers ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-18 17:27 mircea_popescu: that they don'
t do anything in particular should be self-evident, but here's some lulz re "intelligent design" :
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 17:17 asciilifeform: ok , having read this, i gotta laff, this is yet-another 'oh noez doesn'
t use usg.pki like inca commanded' 'bug'
mircea_popescu evidently can'
t carry a discussion on artithetics, even if "general point" wins easy enough.
mircea_popescu: thus you don'
t really want a compiler as much as you want a (very narrowly) meta-assembler.
mircea_popescu: "alf knows how to say these 5 things he can'
t stand in all languages that exist or existed".
mircea_popescu: a whole raft of "dad didn'
t much care for arthur blair snif sniff" is readily explained by the model "dad got smart with age, kiddo was born intelligent."
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's still disqualified, i didn'
t state it in romanian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform part of the lulz of ye olde physics olympiad in mp\s native lands and times was "identify the problem type". lotta ~fundamentally illiterate~ (hey, they liked "science", can'
t possibly think fiction, doh!!!) profs tryina come up with ~convincing~ "and then she said...".
mircea_popescu: but in the end, what's the rush even. trilema didn'
t croak yest, and so here we are, can focus on other things.
mircea_popescu: item as pristine out of box has a dozen or so dimensions and subdimensions that hafta be fit into place, it's not ~really~ pret a porter (chiefly because one selling "all purpose cloth" can'
t sell it pre-cut)
mircea_popescu: linux kernel has a gash in itself, where "it gotta work with firmware" or "modules" or w/e the crap. 99+% percent of the time kernel crashed it wasn'
t the fucking kernel.
