mod6: asciilifeform: sweet! then i think im in good shape.
mod6: Then he's got a problem. So i felt like this type of checking, is more strict. And if it is proper, I will proceed.
mod6: phf: ok, see, there is a hack i could have put in, instead. where i just ensure that my root is named like /genesis/. But what if someguy calls his root, 1000 years from now, xyz.vpatch.
mod6: one way, I've found, to solve this is to ensure that any root in my list of roots, must be a "true root", in such that if the vpatch's every 'a'='false', then it is a "true root".
mod6: the reason, I'm finding, that my previous patch still listed a->b->d in the flow, is because 'd' got picked up as a root. and the reason it does is because at this point, it has no antecedents.
mod6: I have a bit of a question here..
mircea_popescu: i thought that was the obedience index.
mircea_popescu: he might be working off some notebook bush left stuffed between the actual books in the wh library, because i seem to recall a declassification of technical details pertaining to iraq's wmds also being in the works for lo these many ten+ years.
davout: i should probably spend some time actually documenting it instead of ranting here
davout: i vaguely remember something, but i think i'd remember had it been something as glorious as goxfinex
davout: i'll probably end up sentencing jesse powell to death, depending on the way they handle this
asciilifeform: 'i put my hand in bear trap. it snapped shut and hurt quite a bit. i reported bug. the trapper said 'feature'.'
davout: when these monkeys get their shit rubbed in their face their answer is, I shit you not, "this isn't a bug, but we'll update our documentation to match the actual behaviour"
davout: it doesn't occur to their two-cans-and-a-string fork that it can use the same fucking 10kEUR to buy back the asset I borrowed
davout: somehow, i now need to "borrow" 10kEUR to liquidate the position, because somehow, the result of the sale doesn't exist!
davout: say i borrow 10 btc to short on margin, i sell those for 10kEUR @ 1000 EUR/BTC
davout: it is broken in such retarded ways i'm wondering whether i'd have been better off using bitstamp's string'd cans
davout: speaking of perversions i tried kraken's "margin trading" feature
davout: god, i meant to quote mircea_popescu's breakfast
mircea_popescu: so far i live - with women.
mircea_popescu: write the novel, i'll read
asciilifeform: ( though i do have a few nitpicks re: mircea_popescu's 'Do you have any idea what it costs to drill for water in that sort of clearly basaltic substrate ? Look it up. And then, IF, and that's a huge if, you're lucky enough to find water, you'll be stuck pumping it five thousand feet. Which means each cubic meter of water will cost you, even should you have the perfect engine, a megajoule and a half' -- there'd be no reason to get the
jurov: i once met a indian lady in germany, i asked her how she's fine with german climate, and she explained me this
phf: i think they got replaced with "new series" of 500 and 2000. also there's certainly no confusion. the whole transition was a clusterfuck. they introduced new series like two months ago
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the various derps (i've lost count) all use the same seek00000ritychip
shinohai: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rNiuNkb5wPg/Uh4W8W0kReI/AAAAAAAAAkc/xM2E9eSkXYs/s1600/hotline-pentagon2013.jpg <<< So if I click here, we unfriend Russia ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the female mind, having betrayed the faith she owes the male, is taking refuge in teary-eyed imaginations of "sacrifices" ; in a defensive paleocortex process veheheheery well known by the survivors of the communist countries. "oh, those were the times, I HAD TO SACRIFICE" says every despicable old quisling whore. mno bitch, you didn't have to sacrifice anything, you're just a blob of fat. blobs of fat don't "sacrif
trinque: ^ I'm gonna spoil the shit out of this one. It ends with the chick learning the magic words SHE KNEW ALL ALONG because aliens fly their heptafold asses across the cosmos to make her the god-snowflake she is in her true self. This SO THAT humans can help teh alienz in 3000 years.
asciilifeform: and the blob isn't any format i know of.
asciilifeform: once and, i think, for all.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: believe or not, i solved the linking idiocy.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 05:14 mircea_popescu: the original proposition was "hooker-ready laptop". i can see the "value add".
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1592059 < hardest I've laughed in a couple days ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I now have a postbox!

gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: how do I upload a file to an in-republic bot?
mircea_popescu: in vaguely related news i spent an hour going through all romanian military marches. the schmucks have nfi what they're doing. there is exactly one that's acceptable, everything else is crap.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 23:17 Framedragger: i wasn't going to show that she was doing good crypto. but this is definitely doing crypto :) (unless goalposts shifted again, etc)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1592398 << by this measure any fat man who ever farted did cooking, just not good cooking ? or i'm sorry, singing ? playing the tuba ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: looks like i'm stuck forking GNAT.Sockets.
mircea_popescu: and i mean that. compare and contrast. what do you notice ?
asciilifeform: at one time ~i, personally~ was logging a small double digit % of all tor traffic.
asciilifeform: could be pete_dushenski's legz for all i know.
Framedragger: i wasn't going to show that she was doing good crypto. but this is definitely doing crypto :) (unless goalposts shifted again, etc) ☟︎
Framedragger: and ecc, i wonder where your wrath was towards bitcoin, in that regard. (i am aware that you were never a bitcoin enthusiast tho, so there's that)
asciilifeform: ed on algebraic MACs. [3] The construction of this scheme required a library for working with points on an elliptic curve, [4] which Henry de Valence and I have implemented in Rust, using a curve25519 in Edwards form. Henry has made more detailed announcement of our curve25519-dalek library on the curves mailing list, [5] and our documentation is also available online. [6]'
asciilifeform: 'Began implementing the crypto needed for the social distributor, as well as writing documentation describing it. [0] [1] In light of the history of attacks on pairing-friendly curves combined with the recent pseudo-MOV attack which solves discrete logarithms in the embedding field of the pairing (where the embedding field is of small degree), [2] I decided to avoid pairings altogether and use an attribute-based credential scheme bas
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 21:50 Framedragger: what i'm saying is that she actually does crypto. if you shift goalposts, whatever
mircea_popescu: naked girl on heels with banana in hand walking purposefully across room. /me laughs, she's all "what!" "are you going to eat that ?" "yes i'm going to eat it!"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger actually i dunno if you read the first lordship list thing, but this is there.
mircea_popescu: moreover, defense of the "busy elsewhere" line does utterly require them ~to have done something~. which... "oh, i existed" isn't a doing.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu : fwiw i never used wp's uploadtron, never wanted to, and configure my wp in such a way that all files on disk are read-only.
ben_vulpes: looks like what i see as well
asciilifeform: 'Code page conversion renders binary files unusable during encryption #169' 'Oh god. I don't know what to do here. Unencoded or differently-encoded data needs to undergo this conversion. However, there's no way to detect valid unicode… it's essentially arbitrary binary. I'm at a loss for what to do here, and open to suggestions.'
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/slutmoth.jpg <<< apparently it purges dots other than last o.O it turns out whenever i try that i get pissed off, curse, then upload via sftp.
Framedragger: i'm pruning trustleaves slowly, but yeah need another degree of rigour hm
Framedragger: i did learn that if i don't flush out the funny parts i'll just grow up to be someone with no interior at all. :)
Framedragger: right. and it's valid, i can't really defend it properly
Framedragger: (fwiw i wouldn't defend tptacek as much, at all, but i can see how these framedraggerisms can be related under same umbrella)
phf: Framedragger: it's always the same with you, "this online personality construct is great" "they do useful research" etc. until they publish "i don't believe in pgp" or really act in any way that you didn't expect. and then you don't have any recourse, because they are online personality constructs. how well do you know this "online researcher" if you ~having spent significant amount of effort to collect and upload ssh keys~ didn't even ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/gnupg-1.4.10.tar.gz.asc << i think not
Framedragger: one or two. i know both. the other guy is a guy
Framedragger: (and no it's not a 'formal proof' i know.. :/ )
mircea_popescu: that i can believe yeah.
mircea_popescu: so you went to a room where a bunch of other kids were and you met this girl who said "hi, i'm isis[agoralovecruft]" ?
Framedragger: (i've met and confirmed owner of this handle)
mircea_popescu: i'm saying isis is as good a referent as FUCKGOATS. have you met him ?
Framedragger: oh you're saying 'isis' doesn't have a good referent. i agree. she has a pgp key alright.
Framedragger: (obvs i'm not defending her being core part of tor, or tor.)
mircea_popescu: why do i say what i say ? because it's true, what.
Framedragger: well look at what she's done if you'd like, i'm not saying you'd have to meet her in person
mircea_popescu: no. what i am saying is that the isis handle is not "a" or "girl".
Framedragger: what i'm saying is that she actually does crypto. if you shift goalposts, whatever ☟︎
Framedragger: trinque: you referring to moxie i'm guessing :D
Framedragger: but maybe i should ping her actually
Framedragger: this isis girl in tor reads crypto papers and implements them and runs their bridges infrastructure which uses its own nifty things (hashrings for distributing bridge nodes etc), i'm quite certain she hasn't heard ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun follow the logix.
pete_dushenski: speaking of tagging, looksee what i spotted at the base of a lamp pole recently : http://www.contravex.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/TRB-everywhere.jpg
asciilifeform: ecision or I approve the removal.' << not spoken quite like a d00d who plans to get off the throne at the appointed hour, now is it.
asciilifeform: 'First, section 507 of the bill would authorize certain cabinet officials to "drop from the rolls" military officers without my approval. The Constitution does not allow Congress to authorize other members of the executive branch to remove presidentially appointed officers, so I will direct my cabinet members to construe the statute as permitting them to remove the commission of a military officer only if the officer accepts their d
asciilifeform: i.e. a toilet
mircea_popescu: tbh i'm not a great fan on the twitch frenzy "rts" style. i expect fighting to be a lot closer to the tbs roots of, eg, mm7.
asciilifeform: and lel, i dun think i said that i planned to ~play~ eulora. just -- build and run !!
mircea_popescu: i have mine capped because otherwise it's 150-200 which... meh.
asciilifeform: jurov: 12?! i played 'quake' on 486-dx2, was approx like this.
pete_dushenski: wunderbar. i'd had enough holiday shopping anyways.
asciilifeform: i meant, it's a konsooomer board, not a rarity of whatever kind
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what kind of graphix card are you plugging in your new eulorabox ? i'm also mid-build and am unsure if meagre nvidia quadro fx 1500 with 256mb is enough steam. curious to see what you'll be using.
asciilifeform: lel, i think i've been here: http://www.insecam.org/en/view/257432/#camstream
phf: all these snowy landscapes remind me that i miss snow. i might need to go somewhere cold for a week or two..
asciilifeform: http://www.insecam.org/en/view/168264/#camstream << the strangest i/o relay i've ever seen. lamp is hooked, by all indications, to the 'network contact' box. as is the toggle.
Framedragger: given that this is in san francisco, am i looking at a typical californian startup hackaton here?
Framedragger: hm. i still run one (low bandwidth), would be interesting to check things i suppose..
asciilifeform: when i ran evil tor exit, collected a bunch of these
asciilifeform: but i have yet to see mushroom get up and fight.
asciilifeform: the man's a living mushroom, i dun think this has a constructive answer
mircea_popescu: which i suppose warrants a general warning : DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR GCC TO 5.0! SAVE YOUR COPIES OF 4.X AND PRIOR! ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: noshit, i rang this alarm bell right here 2+ yrs ago
mircea_popescu: if your criteria becomes "i won't do that because too hard ; and i won't do this because too easy" then yes you've just about described present day academia.
asciilifeform: maybe i fill it with transformer oil.
