mats: some things i've run into during my leave that i thought you folks might find a passing interest in:
BingoBoingo: I don't see topical diclofenac on that list!
mats: but it flares up now and again and i'm useless
mats: i've tried sleeping supine, slathering bengay, eating ~800mg of ibuprofen, splints, setting 30min interval alarms when i needa type continuously for hours, and giving up computing after hours -- has helped
asciilifeform: i'd much prefer to try a device that doesn't pick up voice of america
mats: https://www.tindie.com/products/WaywardGeek/infinite-noise-true-random-number-generator i have one of these and creator says whitening's built into the driver, so you could give that a shot or wait for me to do it
asciilifeform: i assume tried the traditional cures, didn't help ?
asciilifeform: ( where do i even buy a provably nonwhitened trng ?! to compare to, i mean. i tried to buy such a thing, failed. not sold afaik for any amount. ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally i'd be curious to hear if anybody's ever seen a dieharder output on something that isn't a prng or prng-whitened trng, that consistently produced no 'weak'.
asciilifeform: i tested in batches of 7.
asciilifeform: also i recommend to test every unit, aha
mod6: I'll test all of my other units in this same fashion too.
mod6: anyway, just wanted to be /sure/ that I wasn't getting some sort of varient test results from the dh.
mod6: I re-ran the dh on the same fg.bin file (~1.2Gb) and the 'WEAK' tests were exactly the same ones, with exactly the same output values.
mod6: i may dig into that more at some point here.
mod6: Ima run the dieharder again as `dieharder -a -g 201 -f fg.bin`, and see if I get the same results.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> lol the 4-5 places where dieharder reports weakness prolly need some review of dieharder code. anyone feel like emailing the maintainers ? << I should note, I hope the pics of this arn't too misleading. if you like at the actual text output, there are only 2 'WEAK' tests, which are:
diana_coman: I really enjoyed reading this account of unboxing and testing the FG; thank you, mod6
mircea_popescu: i thought point here was to fuck around.
asciilifeform: i have one here.
mircea_popescu: no i mean, it copuld be in sf world the case that cocaine has K in it and nothing else does or w/e such sane reason.
asciilifeform: i imagine it'd be a bottle of cocaine and a toggle. you give cocaine to aficionado, then give him the toggle, to press.
mircea_popescu: "i'm only buying it for the articles!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i expect whoever is trying to make botnet via ssh bruteforce uses these via whatever pore ; pw changhe won't do much.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if 30k, but 4-500 mebbe.
asciilifeform: i bet it goes great with the dying hdd bird
mircea_popescu: i have this cicada on the wall sounding exactly like my fan is going out on the wind-up phase.
asciilifeform: i went out to the swamp and tried to tell this to the frogs, the cicadas, dun seem to have worked.
mircea_popescu: did i mention i am having a very excellent time reading trilema logs ? because i am.
asciilifeform: 'i forgot moar maths than you ever learned, maggots' (tm)(r)(prof. b)
ben_vulpes: i'm halfway curious about the cl it poops out
ben_vulpes: i am making very serious faces of 'no fucking idea'
asciilifeform: i thought nubbinsing was a more elementary 'there are no superior men! see, this one, he's a piece of shit just like me, i'll show how'
mircea_popescu: anyway. this is what i currently use to epxlain random string production, like "motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/the-large-bitcoin-collider-is-generating-trillions-of-keys-and-breaking-into-wallets" or like http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643409 or everything in between ☝︎
trinque: I have all the original data
trinque: going to be out today; I'll take a look soon
trinque: Framedragger: maybe when I fixed the data for yours a few days / week ago, I fixed it too hard
asciilifeform: ( what is the motivation, i have nfi, probably the usual dekulakization itch )
mod6: well, i even added the unboxing pics in there too.
mod6: i'll include the advanced test parts before publication.
mod6: yeah, i made a blog of all the basic results so far, complete with pics & thumbnails.
mod6: So I collected 1.2Gb worth of data from FG. Which for the Advanced test I don't think would be a problem... about to do the `ent` & `dieharder` tests.
diana_coman: this is why I said earlier: they left for the "rich opportunities" not because "I can't stand this shit!"
diana_coman: I knew it but with previous wife thing
diana_coman: no or don't recall it; I being apparently an exception to that thing, I'm still trying to digest it
mircea_popescu: i think it's the ever-classical prime-fire mechanism. they go away from home to get horny and then they seek a guy just like home to take care of it.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> my sister went to denmark, married romanian she found there. it's a thing, this. <- this is the sort of thing I keep noticing and can't yet explain beyond "people basically get homesick - they went abroad for it being rich, not for them not suffering the poor ways at home"
Framedragger: mmm. this will..recur, some decades later, in mind, i'm sure
Framedragger: hah! :) i see, i see
Framedragger: this time was like "she wants sex i just want to listen to her mind maaaan"
Framedragger: funnily this one wasn't british, the latter are usually just plain..boring, man. maybe i can't find ways to excite them. but their minds, blergh
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1644022 << i understand the importance of this question and shall attempt some kind of answer, or will properly fail. bit later (took mdma last night with girl, after ~3 year break. so much love omg.) ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno, make the point that utf is stupid ?
mircea_popescu: i think it is strange.
mircea_popescu: i got no argument, because the only possible argument would be "need better glyphs". isn't it strange that for all the crazy batshit nonsense including waterguns and whatnot utf put in, there isn't a "255 chars optimized for ascii rendering of stills" ?
asciilifeform: i'ma leave it as an exercise then .
mircea_popescu: i think it is.
trinque: I'm kicking the cron back on
shinohai: ooh ty asciilifeform good fodder, i was just writing shitcoin satutarday, etc
mircea_popescu: i take it you had a good time.
mircea_popescu: i c
ben_vulpes: well from the cause of "i was just watching but okay" and not towards the purpose of "how much for how little"
mircea_popescu: i meant the "how much for how little" thing.
ben_vulpes: and this is why i don't play eulora
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes why squeeze the girls, i don't get it ?
ben_vulpes: i got two of the established girls to clear one of the minor's booths for the three of us this evening! for a whole set! for less than the cost of a single song in the vip room!
mircea_popescu: phf from his 5x comment i gathered it's one of those cheaper joints where they don't make money out of table service and charge per the bj
ben_vulpes: i'm playing with how much they'll do in the club for how little this year
ben_vulpes: i should ask i suppose
mircea_popescu: i dunno that's anymore than happy coincidence.
ben_vulpes: i mean heckle subtly, from the booths. with eyes and conversation.
ben_vulpes: i found the strip club where bottoms stay on and hey what do you know, average dancer expertise is through the roof
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 17:39 mircea_popescu: how is this supporting "Sinus flushing" as opposed to, i dunno, "used to wash up pre anal sex" ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno man.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1643916 << what am i reading ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-15 04:08 mircea_popescu: i will point out vlc has a "ascii art display", you can watch the godfather trilogy rendered in ascii. "so what's your excuse" follows immediately.
mircea_popescu: i really wasn't pursuing any thesis. jus' curious.
phf: i'm unprepared to pursue the whys and hows of the field, and there's usually no escaping it with your "idle questions". so i'll just concede, the whole thing is idiotic.
mircea_popescu: phf i was just asking in my spare time!
phf: i'm not my brother's keeper!
mircea_popescu: i am confused.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was os.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: I'm less talented than they.
mircea_popescu: i will point out vlc has a "ascii art display", you can watch the godfather trilogy rendered in ascii. "so what's your excuse" follows immediately. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: because there's definitely no fucking difference between "your x.org cant' come up would you like to fiddle with settings see if you can fix it" and "i am not happy with how my computer does oral sex will write a better procedure for it")
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 03:17 phf: my solutions to problems like that don't usually involve "bring in a 40mb package". i'd write a top level handler, that shows a modal x11 based repl/restart machinery. sort of poor man's genera
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's somewhat sad how the mainstreamization of "polyamorous" became "i'm too worthless to demand the girl and will use being too poor as an excuse to notice how stupid i am".
asciilifeform: i was about to say
mircea_popescu: i expect tin oxide.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the rotguts they drink don't suffer or something
mircea_popescu: this is the third fucking flask i buy, set some alcohol in, and it rots.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they do for healthcare where you live, but swimming is the thing for bad backs like fucking is the thing for pimples.
ben_vulpes: well there's a whole world of coordination i've never really explored
mircea_popescu: i expect about half are white, unsexed, males in their 30s +- 8 years. ☟︎
doppler: I wonder how many wikipedia editors are elderly women
ben_vulpes: i biked by a gaggle of old women doing precisely this a few weeks ago
asciilifeform: how does '9k wikipedia spelling corrections' appeal, is what i wonder. why not also walk around picking up rubbish from side of the road.
phf: i've met him on another irc channel where he was equally non-contributing to an overall low snr. i was curious if he will maybe step up here, but nope doing exactly the same thing. the whole thing is reminiscent of the catv, a channel full of companioncubes
mircea_popescu: in fact i expect it's the principal engine powering the sjtarded jeneration.
mircea_popescu: i believe it.
