trinque: ascii_field: it would make a great deal of sense to me if there were a connection between this kind of intelligence and personality traits which cause him to have a much lower default level of regard for any particular human off the street.
trinque: ascii_field: haha, my former bosses for instance
trinque: ascii_field: by good RNG do you mean that they are capable of novel thoughts?
trinque: ascii_field: I am promting you to define the term instead of merely restating it
trinque: ascii_field: then is it a measure of the willingness to fight other people?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu chronically links the two, but they are entirely independent
trinque: ascii_field: something like the combination of dominance and being a social supernode?

williamdunne: ascii_field: not quite, although I do regret agreeing to do it pro-bono
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: big fat surprise
williamdunne: gabriel_laddel: About 12 months ago I was tasked with checking the security of a fiat institution. Within three hours I had found two different bugs to send money from accounts that weren't mine, and two different bugs to view all account details that weren't mine, and another to see all transaction details that weren't mine.
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: i suspected he might have 'went perelman'
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: good to see that he's still kicking, somewhere
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: another detail that must be understood is that reversing for the purpose of programming is a very different animal from reversing for the purpose of rebuilding.
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: there is no mass market for these.
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: imho this is going to be a slow process of ad-hoc reverse engineering of a design, finding chiacom manufactures...
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: this doesn't help either. no one can force them to keep making the 'doxxed' chip. ☟︎

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: guess where i'm posting from
ascii_field utterly fails to grasp what mircea_popescu is speaking of
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: from what i can tell, the 'hackteam' folks were paid hundreds of thousands of euros to do things that i consider a weekend's work
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Some are pretty enthusiastic about it
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nobody would even notice.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: usg was a major client
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: no, it isn't 'greatest leak ever' - but certainly the most complete gutting of a usg contractor in history
mod6: grab those, verify, unpack; beware that you need to drop openssl/bdb/boost in distfiles by hand. and ascii_field's script doesn't want boost.tar.gz, wants boost.tar.bz
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what's more to say ?

asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
mircea_popescu: i am sure gabriel_laddel proposed "don't do that" won' cut it with alf - but i am also sure a "sometimes warn before" behaviour would be acceptable.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: go on ahead
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: let me tell you of the salt mines of my homeworld...
ben_vulpes: not you, gabriel_laddel

mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> you know i'm not even convinced a node *should* be stood up without human intervention. << this may be true.
asciilifeform: aha, ben_vulpes has it
decimation: ben_vulpes: it seemed that there was some some concensus around the idea of randomly selecting a small set of ntp servers out of a large pre-defined set
asciilifeform: left it to ben_vulpes to solve
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: they take place with wall clock as invariant
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: for the same reason pulling one's cock doesn't work as a means of flight

asciilifeform takes mircea_popescu's advice, hushes
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 02:03:34; mircea_popescu: decimation the problem of fitting real time to blocks is in fact going straight to the root of the world. solve it, get nobel.
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 00:56:00; williamdunne: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel was checking my rates, out of interest what is my association with gamingfurry.tumblr.com?

decimation: funkenstein_: were you the one studying clock intervals in bitcoin
decimation: funkenstein_: what's that
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I guess. At the very least the cause of it is good though

phf: mod6: that's the last part of readme, you want to build with gmake instead of make (pkg_add gmake)
assbot: Logged on 07-07-2015 18:51:43; ascii_field: let's imagine, briefly, that i ~do~ find.
