mircea_popescu: the obvious question being, "how come the ugly one ends up a fiat politician ?" ; and the obvious answer being that sane girls find better shit to do.
mircea_popescu: in other mild lulz, it seems the albania-serbia-macedonia pressure is slowly mounting. with any luck, 3rd kosovo war.
mircea_popescu: there probably was a cock or some other radioactive material.
mircea_popescu: gotta use the right tool for the job, bacalaureatealf.
mircea_popescu: such a lulzy fucking scene considering the usistani history in both involuntary self-crit humor and bathtub alcohol it's practically an un-unrollable loop of funny.
mircea_popescu: because you know, nobody serious drinks vodka without ice, and bathwater really makes the best samagon.
mircea_popescu: to drive this point home, they have her fish out a coupla cubes put them in a glass before pouring vodka
mircea_popescu: in other "people themselves" : charlize theron's character in atomic blue (this borderline sleeve superheroine-spy of a retro-hallucinated 90s, as in the real 90s the us agents got fucking raped in eeurope/berlin) is SO FUCKING HOT she takes baths in iced water.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dumbsticks, maybe youy don't make a fool of yourself in prose.
mircea_popescu: "advanced" maths of basic calculus. "not needed --- what use is it IN LIFE ???"
mircea_popescu: but they don't do lim f(x) for x->k thing anymore as 15yos do they.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but that takes you know, like actual tools. whereas nude reason of a kid posessed of high school maths would have allowed the correct limit be picked.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck should it be "called often", when obviously all the functions that are called ONCE are inlined by default!
mircea_popescu: because, you see, the "phd level" wikitards are entirely bereft of a clue to the degree of not understanding inflexions AT ALL.
mircea_popescu: elsewhere in the rotting pile, "If a function is inlined 10 times, there will be 10 copies of the function inserted into the code. Hence inlining is best for small functions that are called often."
mircea_popescu: a right, actually, there's one, the queen of spades eh.
mircea_popescu: all comes down to "what are you gonna tattoo, world too complex"
mircea_popescu: eh, the problem with "the people themselves" is they can't stick to anything.
mircea_popescu: aha. well technically, i found them because got bored today and dug into older reports in moar detail.
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to say "carpentry is not very efificent, they need hammers", but the case here seems to be more of a "carpentry does not exist, they require gas planks, which can't exist"
mircea_popescu: if not even this works, what is "proving" supposed to mean when they talk of it ?
mircea_popescu: i thought that's done automatically already, in formal verification
mircea_popescu: do you mean actual loop unrolling, or do yo umean, by-hand optimized/rewritten equivalernt code ?
mircea_popescu: actually something like "is x unrolling of y" should be machine-provable.
mircea_popescu: PeterL +# IMPORTANT NOTE: if the cs is too small, messages have a chance to get decrypted by the wrong key << what is the logic behind this ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: PeterL +MAXMESSAGE = << how did you derive the magic number ?
mircea_popescu: ime, but the only guarantee the design provides is that it will die out EVENTUALLY. for all you know it can survive years through sheer chance. so weak keys are a very serious potential problem for gossipd.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-08#1695453 << you have to. we'd be the first people to move to a cheaper test algo if this was feasible, in tmsr-pgp etc. but as he correctly points out, most of the keys you make are weak. an important point to consider here is weakness propagation : one weak key can potentially expose other key exchanges, resulting in a chain of (unknowingly) lost secrecy. the design will have it ablate over t
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes pizdet means very good in romanian / moldavian and utterly fucked in some ru dialects.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker the "business report" style of 2017 is unreadable. wtf is with all the bullets and summaries interspersed and omfg.

mircea_popescu: they're by and large folks who'd have signed up for mp slavery except no mp offered.
mircea_popescu personally knows guy who, instead of divorce, got spouse job at his place of work, never saw her again.

mircea_popescu: "about same as sv and oh btw all catered meals and accomodations are free"
mircea_popescu: dja have any fucking idea what an oil rig veteran makes ?
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the "you'd make more washing dishes" chokes all the fun.
mircea_popescu: in order to be a petty criminal, you must be innumerate. there's no other way.
mircea_popescu: the sort of idiot who'd go into petty crime does so FOR CONVENIENCE. if he was willing to follow check lists he'd go to sv and be a fucking pm.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of price, a matter of all the strings. gotta keep it maintained, tank full, etc. you realise 50% of all arguments among car using negros is "who left the tank empty" ?
mircea_popescu: this view happens to be closer to reality, amusingly enough, than the hallucinations of power and import of the various borderline sleeves "interning" for her.
