mircea_popescu: if it's the case that "here's this list of 200 primes which popped 2000 moduli", then we should make a histogram of moduli per prime.
mircea_popescu: and further, how many are the same factors ? because it's starting to occur to me we might be able to find an openssh bug through birthdaying the factors it keeps popping up.
mircea_popescu: a speaking of which asciilifeform i was meaning to ask, seeing how they keep popping in pairs : how many times as a % of cases is that when we pop a modulus we pop it for BOTH p and q ?
mircea_popescu: wtf transfuckinghumanism! there's all this basic humanism stuff to be still mastered!
mircea_popescu: dude this possibly takes the cake. i mean the previous contender was what, something in basic physics. but this is...
mircea_popescu: you know you can have wolf pups that don'\t attack the farm animals ?
mircea_popescu: THEN they keep biting the steel girder in any real interaction, because guess what, if you're not watching tv the conventions of tv world aren't enforceable.
mircea_popescu: they get trained by tv and candy crush to be as superficial as possible because it reduces production costs significantly.
mircea_popescu: kinda why literature was a thing in 1700 france ; was not a thing in 1900s us.
mircea_popescu: that ain't literature anymore than memory-trained monkey is thinker.
mircea_popescu: it's plain to notice, too, all the fanfic porn on literotica or whatever always has these stat cards, "she was so and so and tits like that and the other".
mircea_popescu: but you're very much correct, and yes, the #1 skill of mp-writer is exactly "do not specify".
mircea_popescu: indeed. and much of the result is that it creates different notions in different people.
mircea_popescu: you can't train into being moon ; and if you are moon you can train while playing civ or golden axe. i know i did.
mircea_popescu: right. which is why in my mind it's represented as a sort of you know, moon. "you can't reboot the machine without knowing what it's doing"
mircea_popescu: ie, like a very beautiful girl ; not like a very well trained $sport boy.
mircea_popescu: yes, i did read the original coupla books, as a 15yo boy.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704886 << my understanding of " a mentat from dune" was "a guy who takes a lot of showers", rather than what i discovered later was the general us view on the matter, "guy who does lots of xword puzzles". i have nfi where that typically 80s idea "xword puzzles make you smart" came from.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: no, it was very much a supermarket forklift, plain and simple
mircea_popescu: had to have the lift raised or else would have suspended itself
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in which vein : coupla weeks ago saw angry forklift beeping while driving down this hill road (like 15% incline, crazy serpentines etc)
mircea_popescu: fun fact : dogs grab pussy all teh time ; would have all voted trump.
mircea_popescu: hey. there's nothing wrong with ilya muromets kills the koschei. BUT! there's also nothing wrong when koschei kills all the fucktarded uppity youth who weren't ilya.
mircea_popescu: kanzure recommend a coupla good log days in your estimation if you will.
mircea_popescu: anyway. kinda not so much there that i want to read other days on its basis.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform saw the lulzy part where superficial fenn correctly identifies usg as "a bunch of neonazis that want to gas everybody except themselves" ?
mircea_popescu: 16:53 < nmz787> hmm, there's a new biotech thing starting on the floor below genspace (or at least where genspace was) << i wonder if this sorta thing ever gives them any pause.
mircea_popescu: yeah. complete ablation not the way to go, even the mongols left a blind and a deaf man to tell the story.
mircea_popescu: nobody's doing it. this is like "i want him so shot fulla lead, it's practically a 2x2 lead sheet he impacts with".
mircea_popescu: i think one of the major advantages of my not living there is starting to shape itself pretty clearly. you're rather reactively allergic, aren't you alfie.
mircea_popescu: time has a splendid way of resolving such uncertainties.
mircea_popescu: what's the noise level here, 500-1k lines a day or something like that. about same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : in other news, cat *.log | wc -l > 1231786.
mircea_popescu: but then again this is how the whole "democracy" derp dies, "publish the data so people who don't have the time to study it don't study it"
mircea_popescu: kanzure re "broken while uploaded" : tell fenn phuctor has not just all the pgp keys ; but also all the ssh keys, though apparently not the one for his home computer. and to stop being so superficial wtf.
mircea_popescu: there's no semantic manipulation, i mean it quite literally. when i say chains i mean chains ; when i say whips i mean whips.
mircea_popescu: i actually dun have goals. if you measure an absence you'll get noise definitionally, what else.
mircea_popescu: kanzure i'll tell you, i read the log every day, first thing, chiefly because it's the higherst snr item i know of. so not really noisy, no.
