asciilifeform: 'Swedish Deputy Prime Minister and Climate Minister Isabella Lövin appeared to mock the Trump administration with a photo of herself surrounded by women as she signs a climate law.'
asciilifeform: even a trivial pow fork -- bricks old miner
asciilifeform: 'In any event, there would be no incentive to attack rather than earn the reward, but for a PoW fork of bitcoin, miners, who have invested hundreds of millions, if not more, in their hardware, would have a clear incentive to make the forkcoin inoperational.' << how does this work?
mod6: shinohai: ah, cool! yeah, no worries or anything. just was a thought.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-03#1611199 <<< tis mine mod6, but that's a good idea. I haven't changed much of the historical gribble functionalities. ☝︎
asciilifeform: exactly same. carmack et al sold id co. for $bagoffiatola. which they, quite likely, delusionally thought to be capable of buying such a thing as a defense against the new owner in case of arse claim.
ben_vulpes: or did i miss out on yc making bank from all of the devs the rights to whose work they now own a fractional slice of
ben_vulpes: 'like' how? isn't the yc racket a straightforward "give us a large fraction of your eyeballcorp for a pittance and some quite likely useless advice"?
ben_vulpes: what is anal virginity, rights to code produced by a carmack?
ben_vulpes: always a shame to see people trading unhedged.
asciilifeform: (or, in some cases, a pig -- raised for the table to begin with. i do not know enough re carmack to say which type of farm animal he was groomed as)
asciilifeform: the latter plays the part of a draft horse -- housed and fed while he continues to do as he is told, otherwise, whipped, and if incorrigible, sent to butcher
asciilifeform: a fat balance in an 'international komyoonity'-compliant fiatola bank is quite like, e.g., fleet of winblows boxen, or iPnojes, etc. -- a golemtronic appendage of usg, rather than instrument of the supposed owner
ben_vulpes: by virtue of it being fiatola, the possessor is a tentacle?
asciilifeform: the ~pile of usd~ is a tentacle
ben_vulpes: id software, a tentacle?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: carmack is not unlike kamenev and zinoviev -- a creature of the system that in the end devoured him
ben_vulpes: obviously not a possible route for zuckerberg.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-03#1611054 << i'd be curious to read what a hypothetical 'nonparticipation' would look like -- carmack no-shows, judge awards default? carmack burns own factory, a la 1918 ? or which. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other news * Your host is verne.freenode.net[185.30.166.37/8001], running version ircd-seven-1.1.4 is an utter piece of shit, disconnected me what, a dozen times past few days ?
asciilifeform: '“Come to Kimmel, Rosenthal Pavilion to let NYU know that we will not stand for bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny on our campus,” the event page reads. “Gavin McInnes has a long track record of using incendiary language to attract media attention and frenzy…Most recently, in December 2016, Gavin McInnes launched an informal group called the Proud Boys, an “anti racial
asciilifeform: the one 'quantum comp' that is a reasonable possibility is the perpetuum mobile sort. where, e.g., a class of weak (i.e. cheaply breakable from birth, or from a few published signatures) rsa keys is discovered in the dungeons, and dressed up into a 'we haz magical rsa breaker box, go switch to $shitcrypto' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the only thing they handed over was a) own arsehole and b) pellets of dollar bills.
asciilifeform: every other week, a crackpot, 'i broke!'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a seeing-is-believing affair tho
asciilifeform: '...there is a possibility that security researchers will be able to break ECDSA-protected bitcoin addresses in the future. If this were to happen, they could gain access to the coins belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto, and dump them on the market...' << why does it follow that 'let's dekulakize satoshi' but not someone else?
shinohai: http://archive.is/KJFeJ <<< Source is a VERified outlet, so take it with a few spoons of salt

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-03#1611101 << more than one lady friend has lamented that the gays took over female fashion too. sexual ideal is a teenage boy? mkay ☝︎
mircea_popescu: poisson was actually a doctor, and clasically his thing is applied to the question "if on average the er sees six patients a day, what are the odds of it seeing 74 this monday morning"
PeterL took a stats class in college, but that was many years ago
mircea_popescu: but anyway, PeterL , in fair trade : do you know what a poisson distribution is ?
PeterL: (actually, first I solved it in excel, then I thought it would have been simpler to write a python function, so I did that )
PeterL: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/afLAT/?raw=true << and I wrote a function in python that is just a tad more general
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 17:39 mircea_popescu: oh and for the aspiring statisticians, here's a question : given that there's 40 different trilema headers, and one's picked each day randomly, how many days needs one visit trilema in order to have better than 50% chances of having seen all of them ?
asciilifeform: not a difficult patch, but remains to ask, for which kernel. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: we should prolly publish a kernel patch ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-03#1611088 << there is not a simple and hygienic way of doing this on linux ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should actually be doing this, accost young men, go "hey, you're a little bitch faggot, aren't you ? do you know what we do to little bitch faggots ?" while waving machete around.
asciilifeform: but yes phf any system where you enter a pw and it 'doesn't store' is promisetronic (can you see with your own eyes that it 'doesn't store' ? really?)
asciilifeform: (if password is entered into the same machine as where the key is stored, a patient enemy simply has to remotely listen for a while, rather than walking away with machine like illiterate orc police)
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 06:10 mircea_popescu: phf they're pretty shitty. tmsr pgp should prolly use a better scheme
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 05:46 phf: it's a combination of passphrase mangling (by default sha-1) to derive the key, and symmetric algorithm (be default aes-128) to encrypt the privkey. i don't think we had any discussion about this..

phf: my mom had one of those "papa escaped the purges by burning all paperwork but life got tough when they took our governess" piano teachers, who would lament about being forced to teach peasants and brown folk, not on racial grounds as much as "you have to have a bidet in your house for 3 generations, before you can touch a piano" ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i dun think mine ever had a clue re. actually, i doubt if 1 in 3 ru parents remember, leat 2017.
mircea_popescu: stalin was a rather obama like fellow.
phf: re stalin, explaining to american progressives that stalin was georgian, "ethnically diverse", spoke with heavy georgian accent, etc. creates a lot of confusion
mircea_popescu: just send the judge a letter explaining that he's not qualified to answer any question, including what he wants for breakfast and invite him to stfu or else.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 22:13 ben_vulpes: poor john carmack, thought juries could be reasoned with and that "expert witnesses" wouldn't lie through their teeth for a check: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/3jI4f/?raw=true

ben_vulpes: phf: appcode is a mega improvement over xcode in many ways except for how i think i'm going to have to restart my ios dev box to get ac to recognize the device
asciilifeform: btw in mega-dream i did not believe him, that it works, and so he lifted me into the air with it (scene was in a train station) and it was strange sensation, a sort of electric shock in my right arm, quite distinct.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 05:52 pete_dushenski: though i'm still curious how mp obtained the same info using a pre-0.7 version of bitcoind
asciilifeform: bonus is also that if you only connect one of the tx-rx pairs, it is a 'data diode' for phree.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 19:05 asciilifeform bought a set, will test and post result.
BingoBoingo: It seemed to stop working usefully a few years ago
mircea_popescu: oh and for the aspiring statisticians, here's a question : given that there's 40 different trilema headers, and one's picked each day randomly, how many days needs one visit trilema in order to have better than 50% chances of having seen all of them ? ☟︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> basically the whitehouse is a seo spam siter << Some parts of Hussein Bahamas legacy take longer to cast away than others
mircea_popescu: be a white man or learn how to make sandwiches.
mircea_popescu: basically the whitehouse is a seo spam siter
mircea_popescu: in other news, the whitehouse.gov is in google for a "readout of call with putin", which then links to /transitionsplash/ which then links to root.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Milo sold a derpy media startup to another media startup to make some money and now blawgs for Breitbart
asciilifeform: trinque: lol, piece is ~about~ a turd that i linked here earlier.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> milo yiannopoulos isn't even far right. he's just a republican in the USG sense, and also flamingly gay. << "Log Cabin Republican"
trinque: I had a dream last night where I was in russia at some diplomatic event, and I was drinking with Putin and asked him about the Elbrus

asciilifeform: 'Some motorists said they were alarmed by military units flying the flag of a national leader rather than the country, which they said is reminiscent of a fascist government or banana republic.'
asciilifeform: in related lulz, http://archive.is/8rU8I >> 'LOUISVILLE — It's official: The military convoy seen flying a Trump flag in Louisville on Sunday belonged to a Navy Special Warfare unit, and the flag was "unauthorized," a Navy spokeswoman said.'
asciilifeform: ''President Trump early Thursday threatened to cut federal funding to the University of California, Berkley after violent protests broke out on its campus Wednesday in response to a planned appearance by a far-right commentator.'
mircea_popescu: apparently everyone but the usians is a peace loving, respectable sort of fellow.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 18:48 mircea_popescu: anyway, to be fair here : the russians have no interest in waiting ; putin might be uncharacteristically meek, but in general a half dozen us ambassadors starting with the resident in manilla within the next week-10days is perfectly possible. at which point obama actually having the gall to call natl emergency and set aside the transfer of power is not entirely inconceivable. after which the russians WILL sink all the us carr
mircea_popescu: oh i thought it just arbitrarily applies prevailing force vector to objects. you know, like in a level designer toolbox.
mircea_popescu: and did this dream mp call it the "fuck you rekt an' proper at a distance" glove ?
ben_vulpes: are aws hostname-embedded ip addresses even a thing?
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> though i'm still curious how mp obtained the same info using a pre-0.7 version of bitcoind << Likely with a pre-0.7 incarnation of the display peer info idea
pete_dushenski: lol could be a mad libs game
pete_dushenski: though i'm still curious how mp obtained the same info using a pre-0.7 version of bitcoind ☟︎
phf: according to btcbase it depends on polarbeard_better_log_messages, which doesn't press cleanly (that was around the time when a bunch of things got reground, pbd meanwhile dropped out)
BingoBoingo: phf: Or a chance for pete to code and make a patch from 0.7-ish
phf: seems like a candidate for shiva extension, since it's so trivial to write
pete_dushenski: a bit
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 01:20 asciilifeform: (equivalent in commonlisp world would be a program that relies ~only~ on the ansi standard)
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: http://cascadianhacker.com/20_a-summary-of-changes-to-bitcoin-since-0321
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: the most i can imagine you'll learn about the differences between prb and trb without reading the source is that the latter doesn't have a gui
ben_vulpes: they're in a vault with other memorabilia, what
asciilifeform: it is not actually very enlightening to a student of trb, because various subsystems were replaced wholesale.
pete_dushenski: bv had asked for my archived copies a few weeks back, presumably with the intent to run on spare macware.
shinohai: ah a potential Eulorian
asciilifeform: (equivalent in commonlisp world would be a program that relies ~only~ on the ansi standard) ☟︎
