asciilifeform: for instance, squirrels have dug a tunnel into my wall, it would be great if they disappeared suddenly. but they won't, will have to get specialists
mircea_popescu: what, you imagine if tomorrow there were simply a hole in the ocean where the us stood anyone'd miss them ?
asciilifeform: ( text is a snoar, scroll to pics )
asciilifeform: i don't know of a traditional name for his historical process, but imho it deserves one.
mircea_popescu: save me the fucking trouble, i'll throw a ticker tape parade.
mircea_popescu: well, in my apparently peculiar view "here" is a construct of thought rather than a mpapacy.
asciilifeform: whereas anything demonstrably separate from the octopus, and that resists it, is a valuable thing.
asciilifeform: princeton is a tendril of the octopus.
asciilifeform: this is a postulation, not an observation, nor a deduction; i won't engage it
mircea_popescu: how about we let a chechen join the wot, make it to the lordship, then he can tell us they work if they do.
asciilifeform: 'die for a fat broad's right to marry her dog' (tm)(r)(trilema)
asciilifeform: deculturated wonders automagically create a tv.
mircea_popescu: once "doing independent thing" became watching tv (a subset thereof http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1643888 are -- they're exactly IDENTICAL to middle aged women, watching their favourite tv dramas)... ☝︎
asciilifeform: usa was , at its root, a massive test of 'hey nations are bogus, nobody needs, let's all be Independent People Doing Own Thing'
mircea_popescu: and for that matter i don't recall you being much of a "nation of ukr" either.
mircea_popescu: if you're definition of a nation is a language then you're very much not talking of the same thing as in the case of best korea.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly no product of a (wholly imaginary) romanian "nation".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: everyone i ever met who was worth knowing was a product (and typically escapee from) a healthy , traditional nation. not deculturated ???s, no.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because the ustard is a sad excuse for monkey nation does not imply we'll now accept the turd soup of "nations" does it ?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> NOW if it happens with all of the units in mod6 's parcel, and ~every~ run -- then problem. << this is key too. i'll perhaps collect another 1Gb+ a few more times from that initial first one and report back on the ent/dh results too.
mod6: <+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'. << werd.
mats: some riot clips from today: when antifa tries to build a wall https://twitter.com/TEN_GOP/status/853357068149022721 leled at beer belly guy wearing a 'captain america'-themed t shirt
mircea_popescu: from experience it always works out to "we'll link up to protect our stupidity in a group of idiots"
asciilifeform: it is currently the only nation ( and, yes, unlike, e.g., usa, it is a nation) with industry but no mcdonalds, no riaa, and no harvard sons.
mats: guess you could put a couple divisions to work shooting people and digging holes...
mircea_popescu: you know, just like the usg wouldn't sell it anything but the dregs for a century.
mircea_popescu: eh amnd what's that gonna do. bl;ow up a parking lot ?
mats: great excuse to annex a wealthy neighbor experiencing a fictitious civil war, under the pretense of martial law
mats: i agree that its unlikely anyone will use a nuke and claim responsibility for it
mircea_popescu: i dunno, don't ask me, there's a reason i don't try to run a geostate.
mircea_popescu: it ain't ever getting sold because it's more valuable as a tool to control the children than it'd ever fetch on the market.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever will. nukes are a unique item that a) doesn't work and b) everyone thinks it does. it's the exact equivalent of the "valuable inheritance".
mats: perhaps mr. trump will let a nuke off the chain
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather trust a gaggle of ghana street urchins than us state to achieve anything.
mircea_popescu: usg has a lenghty history of monumentally inept intl politics
mats: i have been thinking usg destabilization of dprk is a great way to jam a fork in the party's eye
BingoBoingo: take the fucker's tv and put the old man on a strict diet of AM radio
mats: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017/04/05/khan-sheikhoun-chemical-attack-evidence-far/ a collection of osint on the subject
mircea_popescu: it still enjoys a lot of support among ~300 million moral idiots without any sort of conscience.
mats: i suspect it was delivered with an artillery shell rather than a rocket dropped by su-22, american radar may be able to disprove this
a111: Logged on 2017-04-16 03:26 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. )
deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/04/15/once-upon-a-time-in-a-36-sigma-event-far-far-away/ << » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - Once upon a time, in a 36 sigma event far, far away…
mircea_popescu: such a novel idea.
mats: https://gregpytel.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/largest-heist-in-history.html 'This blog demonstrates that ... the financial system was turned into a pyramid scheme in a technical, legal sense'
mats: no updates re: esp8266, don't have time for it but i'll cough up the coin if someone wants to try a bulk purchase and play with one
mats: in a prior piece, the authors do mention the disproportionately large burden that small bidnesses have, as their losses aren't covered by 'Regulation E': https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/everythingYouKnow.pdf
asciilifeform: mats: didja ever become a reverser like you wanted to ?
asciilifeform: typically there is not a separated 'mule', e.g., 'amazon' is the mule.
mats: some things i've run into during my leave that i thought you folks might find a passing interest in:
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
mats: carpal tunnel's a bitch
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: it takes, what, a day.
asciilifeform: ftr no fg ships that reports a fail, or a 'weak' in any test consistently (2+ 1G runs.)
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, asciilifeform, et. al.: My unboxing and testing of a randomly selected FG shipped to me: http://www.mod6.net/fg/fg-test/
asciilifeform: definitely not a low-tech item tho, quite a bit moar complex than plain old analogue rng
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: "how to turn bed, bath and beyond into a reliable supplier of uranium pellets" by alf the beedog.
mircea_popescu: you can prolly find it if you care to run a netstat or such
asciilifeform: in other lulz, box from which ssh bruteforce all day, http://62.75.216.148 << shows live footage from... a church, and 0 text
asciilifeform: a 300 $ ssd could easily turn into a 30,000 $ .
mircea_popescu: got me like 3x during a week
mircea_popescu: did i mention i am having a very excellent time reading trilema logs ? because i am.
mircea_popescu: lmao a doom wad.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform has degree. it is in a cardboard tube, in a broom closet, with mops, pans, old pcbs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyone who has a college degree.
mircea_popescu: this is what the piece of paper certifies. "person is to a large degree wilfully blind to sense to satisfy imperial conventions."
asciilifeform: wtf is a graduate head
asciilifeform: what the fuck is the point of running a cl runtime so as to run llvm bytecode ?
asciilifeform: what is 'This is a quick hack of Quake ported to the Simple DirectMedia Layer library' doing in there ?
asciilifeform: what sort of 'lisp os' needs a massive c compiler ?
doppler: they did a third demo recently
asciilifeform: linked item is a llvm bytecode to cl translator ( undergrad homework )
asciilifeform: to 'verify' -- get this -- he periodically asks ~hash of the perl src~ -- because it Would Be Wrong!111 apparently, to write a proggy that sends the right hash but runs Wrong logic..
asciilifeform: they exist, presumably, for the mcfood dispensaries, the riot cops, 'professionals who deal for a living with the stinking poor' per mircea_popescu's old article
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but that's a later reinterpretation of the fgundamental "gotta say unsaid things to exist"
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: it's a random phenomenon, same root as brownian motion.
mircea_popescu: a strange sort of livresque existentialism.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-14 02:23 asciilifeform: 'Mircea Popescu stole a large amount of BTC from BitBet.us prior to this...' << lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform vice is literally, precisely and exactly a google spam device, like taboola or whatever.
asciilifeform: ( and notice, there is a piece re 'cryptoguru.org' but never phuctor . )
mircea_popescu: consequently, vice finds it +ev in those terms to maintain an item spuriously named "motherboard" in which to publish stuff like "the wallet collider consisting of a guy plucking wings off flies and dropping the maimed insect carcasses on his exposed glans penis."
mircea_popescu: as there's no OTHER dampener of the existence points outside of this scheme, you are guaranteed that in a flat world all the things will be said (and none of the things will be listened to)
mircea_popescu: given the list of all the things that have been said already (this is really a tree, but in his perspective it's flattened into a list by nulling out all the values associated with the string nodes), his choice is : ☟︎
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
mircea_popescu: now, in this situation, random item with delusions of agency (in "our democracy" terms "a person") is stuck with the following problem :
mircea_popescu: we can checkpoint here and verify that this is a correct model by observing how exactly it predicts us-like "academia".
mircea_popescu: it then follows that any speech is fundamentally equivalent to any other speech, and a volume of speech is a minimum requisite for existence at all times.
mircea_popescu: since in such a world any reasoning is conventionally impossible (as it'd enact hierarchy and bring the daddy issues they ran from in the first place front and center)
mircea_popescu: if you build a fictious world that is flat, which is to say, the opposite of tmsr, a world in which it dun matter who your daddy is and any $random-nick can have any idea whatosever,
asciilifeform: seems like they search for ripemd collisions, 'At the moment, the pool is looking for private key collisions of P2PKH addresses. We are looking only at addresses with funds on them (see below for the why) and at the moment there are around 9 million of these in use. The pool uses a probabilistic data structure called Bloom filter to do the checking for each newly generated hash160 against all of the known hash160 with funds on them.'
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: hm, to me it sounds more that it's a case of "this nonsense of forcing peasantry and maids and dogs and whatnots to have their own apartments dun work"
mircea_popescu: girl goes nuts, spends a while trying everything. nothing catches. eventually has enough of the shit, stops caring, one day burns the food.
