ben_vulpes: might be fun to distribute large fabric squares to bike scum that say something like "THIS PATCH HACKS ROBOCARS" with
a nonsense illustration below
ben_vulpes: by which i mean
a testbed for hooligans with GPUs, bad attitudes, and
a cursory interest in adversarial image generation.
ben_vulpes: in other news, portland fashioning itself as

a ddos attack, motivated by
a rather base extortion attempt (the 4th or 5th this year, but this one was unusually large). We have taken steps with our ISP to buy additional ddos protection capacity and are back to normal operations. All funds under our

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as per link, "RAGE ON THE RIGHT
A rage is growing on the right. Before it is done, untold numbers of men and women may have to die, casualties in America's ongoing culture wars. By Mark Potok, Editor, SPLC Intelligence Report".
mircea_popescu: all in all, the whole conway/bailey pile of shenanigans is
a fine de-facto blueprint of "activism" of the ilk every idle nobody and her star-sister's trying to engage in.

a thread with d00d who sold 'sram as rng' iirc.

ben_vulpes: at least there's

ben_vulpes: "trees", but to answer the first question i suppose
a resounding "no"

a baby bunny hopping through the yard adorably darting in and out of cover. This morning I find bits of baby bunny fur scattered in
a narrow open area between structures. Cat 1 Breeders 0
mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing you should do anything. i am pointing out
a mechanism you describe is
a) part dreamdust and b) not workyirl.
mircea_popescu: and don't open the pandora's box of "imagine" lest you fall under
a hail of arrows wrt irl "alternatives" in compouting.
mircea_popescu: no, but it gives you enough sense to not write your minesweeper applet in such
a way as to import netbase.
mircea_popescu: of course there's alternative. what the fuck do you suppose
a classical education is for ?
mircea_popescu: oh, we're assuming you'd be privy to that ? "how he runs it" is
a box open to your inspection ?
mircea_popescu: moreover here's
a different spot of trouble -- suppose
a-friend-who-is-not-me has the remarkable bad fortune of beign crowned/acclaimed god-emperor of everything. did thereby his previous
a-ok "long hand" now become
a very unok "empire" and consequently he's supposed to do what ? leave them behind and move over to washington to be trumped ? or how's the logic here work.
mircea_popescu: so the 1k or so transgender freaks got
a seat at the table, mostly for religious reasons
mircea_popescu: 2004, you recall, wash bush, and
a very power hungry and not yet paintsuited abomination running up and down the country trying to create some sort of "future democrat alliance"
mircea_popescu: this is
a valid point -- except note that lynn's excuised by it.
mircea_popescu: yes, i'm aware there's
a something awful that twenty years ago used to be
a sort of cat-v for socialist tards etcetera. yes i'm aware the "climate science" pseudoscientards had some mailing list they coordinated their nonsense on etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, but you also are mixing in
a personal "kgb == gender activism in the us", which...
mircea_popescu:
a world where "the superior with the superior and the inferior with the inferior" is the ideal female world of flat hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: let us bring the matter to
a trilema article. you've read the definition of the romanian expression "pai nu?" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 15:46 mircea_popescu: it's unfortunate that
a schmuck who actually had the unmitigated audacity to tell people he is
a "chair of blabla" was also so fucking clueless as to not know the foregoing, and truly expected he'll be playing with his dickie in the sand unfettered cca 2004. but then again -- this is the just desserts for sinking one's time and productive life in the idiotic line of chasing nonsense.,
mircea_popescu: right. which is exactly
a restatement of the above comment re bailey.
mircea_popescu: now : it is not directly evident to me how one engineer riding chariots in battle and raping the women of
a different tribe of chariot-riding idiots is in any sense disqualifying.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: 6. the reabsorbtion of this unseemly polyp in the general discourse of lower-upper class was
a necessary evolution, and hadn't it punctured through the whole "how dare you say man-women are whores!" it'd have punctured somewhere else. lightning strikles on the basis of charge not on the basis of dielectric failure. heck, it'll create the latter to serve the former.
mircea_popescu: 5. this resulted in
a very strongly ~prescriptive~ pseudoscience, the fantasy of all "therapists" etc being that you go to them to acquire permission to be who you are.
a sort of, if you will, slavery for infantile inept "masters", cheaply made and mass distributed.
mircea_popescu: 4. freud, jung and the rest of the "men going their own way" of the 1800s are exactly this - exponents of the minority bourgeois party trying to fashion
a crystal ball "just as good" as the prevailing female construct (religion-blabla-etc) out of you know. this.
mircea_popescu: 3. abandoned in its only possible role (all pseudoscience can do is supply crystal balls for court magicians) by the dominating class (female culture is the larger part of lower-upper middle class culture for very fundamental reasons - they're genetically insufficient) it found
a 2nd life among the smaller half.
mircea_popescu: it did not actually have the wings to fly, which is why the social group in question eventually settled on "charity" as briefly mentioned yest. the whys and wherefores are worthy of
a volume, and quite well fleshed out, but we won't bother here.
mircea_popescu: 2. 1 notwithstanding, in the early phase of the post-industrialization lower-upper class (
a faux construction consisting of lower class material enjoying upper class easements, pretensions and expectations) struggling with the question of what the fuck to do with themselves, "studying" "psychology" became
a thing.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, alf is correct on one point : there is
a painful spot in the history of psychology (the pseudoscience). let us delve :
☟︎ Framedragger: i don't know, i just see an engineer who did engineer work and contributions before and after gender transition; and
a person who got caught into politics/issues of genderstuff after involving self in genderstuff. "meh" is my reaction.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: that's true, it's "rough around the edges" is an understatement for now. and in general,
a ~very~ problematic position to be in. there is that...
mircea_popescu: this is like observing that not-particularily-bright kid who evidently likes cars is probably
a driver.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: from skimming her bio, she went into activism after tech career retirement, which followed ~quite
a bit after~ the change. inferring cause-effect there is imho stretching it ~very~ much. but then, i haven't met her, etc.
Framedragger: > find interesting post; follow to interesting person's twitter; get suggestion whom to follow, on the surface it looks good (e.g. "also
a hardware engineer", etc.)
mircea_popescu: looks like
a fine substitute for doing any work yet another workday
mircea_popescu: group of dorks complains about the rest of the dorks doing the guy
a fucking favour.
mircea_popescu: dude, not going to their shitty "conferences" is the best way to
a) get some work done and b) eat well.
Framedragger: 1. it's why i asked, re. convenience, 2. yeah it's
a terrible idea, hm, and 3. there was no intention to do any encrypting/signing on the server - god forbid
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 12:39 Framedragger: is there
a more convenient way of organising and/or sending pgpgrams to irc folx? i have
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/iCXI2/?raw=true which is ~fine. (it'll complain about unsigned key if target is such, and gpg will ask y/n there. add `--trust-model always` to gpg command if you don't like this and like to live dangerously)

☟︎ ben_vulpes: odd because in what world is that
a "proof of concept", unless there's some bass ackwards msft-trained IT snotrag 'ethics' line that somehow justifies the pretense to proof of
a video
a twelve-year old could have faked
ben_vulpes: nsf grantee produced
a odd little video of
a chrome browser running under programmatic control solving captchas and 'brute forcing' passwords
ben_vulpes: where if i read correctly, chrome udp's passwords to such services as gmail in such
a way as to 'encrypt' them but still reveal their length
ben_vulpes: "The Bindmans LLP law firm, acting on behalf of (green party, house of lords rep) Jones, contacted six of those listed to verify their passwords...In response, five of the six gave passwords that matched those given in the letter and the sixth was nearly
a match."
