asciilifeform pictures castle mircea_popescustein with uboat-style battery room, what with the little cart that one rides lying on back to test electrolyte etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, even cheapo current gen. of gym stationary bikes, actually include gens, they simply dump the current in resistor
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: generating cage ? i.e. with hupet in large wheel turning gen ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, the derpcrypto folx use not only small, but ~fixed~ witnesses, lol
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 18:57 mircea_popescu: what's hilarious is the ever-present http://trilema.com/2017/global-warming-on-triton/#selection-154.0-157.103 whereby they'll imaginarily seat themselves in my seat and start spewing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1809349 slash assorted nonsense about "homebrew crypto" lalala.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-27 23:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's eg ~20mn carmichael numbers under 10^20
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun suppose you have the text lying around?
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu , plox to post if/when find
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the operative diff is, 3/4 is lower bound. i.e. there aint a composite where 3/4 of the integers aint proper witness.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that'd entirely fit the bill, if you find it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: takes same time as to find m-r false witness for anyffing else
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you recall where, plz link
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interestingly, iirc even to bake 32 liars (having control of the witnesses, presupposes) that 1) all diff 2) work for some n -- is open problem atm
asciilifeform: diana_coman: no rush, we'll find out how compares on given $iron when you get around to 18 .
asciilifeform: aanyways i expect that when diana_coman gets to eating ch18, we can compare properly .
asciilifeform: diana_coman back in the day posted old-style mpi timings but i do not know on what irons so cannot readily compare .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ssh iirc uses ellipticisms by default, so whole own category of joak
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, koch takes approx same time, and that's with him not using rng witnesses at all iirc...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman , et al ^ plox to comment .
a111: Logged on 2019-03-27 17:49 mircea_popescu: grangerstranger, who the hell are you then ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik 'granger' is today an agricultural gear supplier in usa . ( named after 19th c union thing of some variety )
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, there's a pronstarlet the naming reminds me of.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, word. it's more a thing for something like mp-wp, which is a sort of enduser app so to speak, than something like eucrypt that's basically a library, or in any case a building block intended for use in forging.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: fwiw everything I published v-versioned has the tests included as a subdir with its own .gpr file and all that; I'm not sure a fork of the V-tree is really needed for this (i.e. deleting a whole dir is easier than maintaining a for as far as I see it atm).

a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 16:22 mircea_popescu: if you just run by whatever shines you'll get overwhelmed and then depressed at how the sand sucks effort with no visible return.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-19 23:18 mircea_popescu: if anyone recalls, at that time the intended republic-sponsored kegger party at the site of some anti-usg rebellion died over portland's apparent failure to produce beer & sluts under ben_vulpes 's direction.
mircea_popescu: other than that, a) if you'd rather mostly deal with c legacy codebase you could also work with diana_coman on an eulora client ; b) if you'd rather do evanghelism work the original job in the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-19#1903518 line is still open -- you could work to advertise your castle in heathenworld (leverages pizarro directly ; and if you're serious about not leaving the ushithole you can incorporate it regula ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 21:18 diana_coman: if it's about wants, I can throw in that I want a sane computer already!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-26#1904962 << not to let this escape; i'd actually be quite interested to read diana_coman's own thoughts re what is a sane comp. ( asciilifeform wrote at great length re the subj, would also like to see where folx disagree / expand ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not at 'pen' stage , but prototyped, iirc i posted an example with trad btc tx.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand , this one would need either tcpism (not written yet) or unixsocketism (also afaik not written, aside from the sad adacorpse implementation in gnat std lib)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 14:29 mircea_popescu: this is a matter of best practices that's by its nature a republican standard candidate, so i'd very much like to hear the esteemed lordship.
asciilifeform: there was an old mircea_popescu piece , where , 'some people - stupid in particular way, and think that if they buy big enuff house, it will never have to be cleaned'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is entirely conceivable that someone may want to bake 'peh compiler' . but intent of design is specifically for it to be entirely usable without any such thing, with reasonable effort.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right. and , interestingly, the coupla-1000fold diff b/w main ram speed and that of cache , on current-day irons, has just about brought back the age of tape algo
asciilifeform: all of this being said, i suspect mircea_popescu would still barf if to e.g. fetch a trilema pg, 5km of tape had to move a full circle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'do you really need arbitrary access so often' : recall knuth's 'centerfold' page in vol.2 of aop
bvt: mircea_popescu: i'll try to get him into #trilema on the weekend
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'random' in 'random access' is imho an unfortunate misnomer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: per the current instruction set, you could not write e.g. 'unzip' in it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's other constraints, e.g. peh is quite certainly not optimized for random-access on large data set , there is no support for even such thing as array
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'bootstrap' concept in that thread was specifically re 'what coupla kB can you start with in rom that would actually let you build the entire os', rather than the traditional 'boot' process , not to be confused with

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, Cubans.
asciilifeform: bvt: seems like mircea_popescu's original eyeball verdict was 100% on target? i.e. 'mes' is a pile o'shit masquerading as they usually do for a solution
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they moar or less ~are~ 'in congress directly'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw in sovokistan churchill is moar famous as architect of intervention in '18
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i pictured '1947 'red' not as kennan et al tho, but as e.g. patton, churchill, et al - the folx who were ready to rearm germany an' proceed straight into ww3, and had to be stfu'd by the brass strictly on acct of truman having insufficient nuke pile (iirc atm ~7 or so)
asciilifeform: i'll buy. ( mircea_popescu will also find it entertaining that kennan was ~the~ 'sovologist' taught in asciilifeform's ameri-school )
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 09:18 mircea_popescu: "The present generation of Russians have never known spontaneity of collective action. If, consequently, anything were ever to occur to disrupt the unity and efficacy of the Party as a political instrument, Soviet Russia might be changed overnight from one of the strongest to one of the weakest and most pitiable of national societies."

The individuals who are the components of this machine are unamenable to argument or reason, which comes to them from outside sources. Their whole training has taught them to mistrust and discount the glib persuasiveness of the outside world.

This means that truth is not a constant but is actually created, for all intents and purposes, by the Soviet leaders themselves. It may v

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'preoccupation with crimes' also comes in diff. variants. consider e.g. lafonde, vs the typical ameri-suburbanite who has never so much as personally seen a homo-lafondicus with naked eye but nevertheless fixated , etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who are in this context 'reds' and 'blues' ? ( presumably not the 2 usg armies mircea_popescu earlier argued have long ago merged into 1 ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that to guarantee pleasant-to-read diff, one has to specifically write proggy in certain style, and that the problem aint otherwise solvable in the general case
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 00:40 mircea_popescu: in a sense, the "fascists" are more progressive than the "progressive"
hanbot: mircea_popescu, so wait, are you saying that the "black people & crime" thing is purely an internal debate of socialism, pitting the pantsuit against the more progressive TS faction in the attempt to establish "which parts of ideal socialism relate to me more"? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-03-25 14:38 mircea_popescu: i'd like this narrowed if not entirely solved.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-25#1904673 << asciilifeform several times tried his hand at 'what if nonclassical diff', these are in the logs. but mircea_popescu barfed, and i dun even disagree, thus far nobody's thought of a moar human-readable diffism than the traditional one ☝︎

chonkin: mircea_popescu Well the cultural marxism (Whatever that is) sneaked into MIT when that one physics professor was instantly fired for sending something to a female student over email

chonkin: o_O
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, lol, i doubt the dorks have the nerve. probably just magic dry hump.
