BingoBoingo: In other heathen headlines: Apparently Llamas (
as opposed to alpacas) might have the proteins necessary for a universal flu vaccine
bvt: i have structured the base64 tree
as a directory with a library and example applications; only library is supposed to be compiled with restrictions, but some restrictions propagate to applications
as well
a111: Logged on 2018-10-18 18:51 mircea_popescu: Mocky i actually distinguish between smarts (the reductive ability, that powers "i suspect there's no such thing
as intelligence", and typified perhaps best by d. kyon) and "intelligence" (the constructive ability, that powers "more loc, more tech, more future", and typified perhaps best by "fm-2030" ).
mircea_popescu: (alf's "robohitler" mostly exists
as alf's own mind's reinterpretation of the boas-pantsuit ; cargo cultish lulz (say in the "artificial intelligence" vein to pick but one of many examples) usually come from the dewey-pantsuit.)
BingoBoingo: I am inclined to lean toward Dewey cribbing from the pop culture hegelians. Not a father so much
as the theiving sad sack from the "I made this" meme series
mircea_popescu: or the year they really really need its posture
as a float be credible, seeing how they also want a chunk of china's sea.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, apropos de nothing : Jean van Heijenoort is an interesting character, not because of his youthful association with one of the inconsequential marx-zigglers burlesque and slapstick acts of the early 20th century, but because of his later life
as a historian of what could only properly be called "the end of nations
as an intellectual construct".
mircea_popescu: same cost
as in, fixed cost of the machinery making them
a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 23:10 mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file then. though he prolly wants the ~config~ file to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because there's no such thing
as a terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my text in a way that's aware of his dumb terminal. and he thinks this acceptable, somehow, that at the time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read.
mircea_popescu: now, perhaps this also could be made in such a way
as to data byteness ?
mircea_popescu: well, we use 4096 bit keys, therefore
as asciilifeform well points out, the native byte of rsa is 8192.
mircea_popescu: do you understand what the item in question is, given
as example ? would like likbez ?
mircea_popescu: i still think you should
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869171 as a parting shot ; not because i expect anything besides the "meet mr al-schmukwari at 8am", but because why not let the remnant of usg.blue congratulate itself on "succeeding" ? let some schmuck "earn" a bonus, what's it to you or me.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "I guess you could say they identify
as bikers." bwajuaja ok, this is entertaining lol
BingoBoingo: I keep getting distracted by not quite fixes that let the thing show a dashboard for one page load,
as much
as I would like it to be top of my list it can't today
mircea_popescu: there can be such a thing
as a standard length, yes. but apparently it'll be 512 bytes+
mircea_popescu: the line
as a semantic unit is
as long
as it fucking is, and the terminal deals with it.

as such somewhere else

☟︎ hanbot: t and a by now insanely oversaturated market, i can't imagine anything less than hundreds of hours/week is going to save it. i don't have the hours to make it my sole concern, but i do have some to help out. i think it'd be a shame to kinda decoupage some tasks here and there to a floundering ship.
as much
as i'd like to see it sail, seems obvious to me that here and there won't cut it at all.
mircea_popescu:
as perhaps evidenced by the fact you... can't custom, even if for inexplicable reasons you'd want to.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 20:48 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of "taking suggestions" : suppose you bake me a proper drop-in gpg replacement. in ada, constant time, does FG-aware keygen, signing, verification, and encryption/decription. 100% rsa, none of the "cipher" bs
as per current.
mircea_popescu: shinohai your only available position here is "here is what i now understand to have been doing wrong, and shan't be fucking doing again,
as exemplified by this excessively costly self sacrifice". not fucking "hey guise, buddy-buddy, are you gonna change to fit me in THIS time or do i come back whenever later try again".
☟︎ trinque: I have
as well. I will never touch a fucking smtp server
as long
as I live.
trinque: beelzebub can own
as many stupid things that shouldn't exist
as he likes, from where I sit. google wants smtp mail, oh please, have a second helping.
trinque: asciilifeform: anyhow yeah, I'm one of the sickos that uses the thing
as wm even.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 23:04 trinque: asciilifeform: I shamelessly use emacs
as interface to just about every heathen thing (gmail included) I have to touch

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they say it may take
as much
as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ? << I'll think about it a bit more. I'll double check the math, but if the transfer is 5 weeks out that still leaves us a margin of safety from the month of guarentee put up when service started.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, will be familiar to 1980s1990s east euro folk ; and yes i expect that experience's exactly the guide, ie, will get more frequent, ampler and longer lasted
as time goes by.

mircea_popescu: dreamy-eyed "students" are, today
as in the time of francois villon, whatever you can spare.
mircea_popescu: what was the problem, she expected a tip you didn't provide,
as far
as you know ?
Mocky: he still has the same number of trades (12)
as when i first spied him in sept.
mircea_popescu: and if you deny it, the response comes ~
as if~ you had denied everything-about-the-idiot, because, to them, you literally have. if wordmagic dun exist, if her words have exactly 0 power to anything, if she could just
as well cup her palms, word in her left and piss in her right, then... then... then WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR ?!?!?
shinohai: (Latest is "42coin, priced at roughly 4 BTC each - includes malleable addresses
as an "anonymity feature")
a111: Logged on 2018-10-31 17:54 asciilifeform: implicit conditionals aint evil per se , tho ; i banned them in ffa specifically
as they get in the way of constanttimeism, is all
billymg: mircea_popescu: not at all, i was amused myself when i put myself in your shoes and read my messages
as "how does the what go into the who now?"
billymg: hey phf, i'm using my pizarro rockchip
as my current workbench
BingoBoingo: Seriously though, asciilifeform has met me in person and confirm I am not built like a person who should be seeking out fights. Yet... It isn't rare to be walking about and the sight of some local dork fires something in the brain roughly equivalent to "they aren't
as opprosed
as they are signalling they should be"
bvt: i also intend to genesis a ffatronic base64 encoder/decoder that i wrote
as an exercise (also todo for the weekend).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of "taking suggestions" : suppose you bake me a proper drop-in gpg replacement. in ada, constant time, does FG-aware keygen, signing, verification, and encryption/decription. 100% rsa, none of the "cipher" bs

☟︎ mircea_popescu: buit
as it is -- it's good to know they aim to make money
as opposed to satisfy the tweeting hordes.
mircea_popescu: im not disputing you're consciously trying to overcome it. but
as a factual matter -- yes, very adverse.
mircea_popescu: in which case yes, it'd seem at least one workable method is for parties to declare F=RSA-n1n2(x) and then use its spew
as otp pad for all their stuff.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fact,
as eulora comms mandate the parties know at least one rsa key of each other, it becomes eminently possible to use (session-based!) n1*n2 for this purpose.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with using the RSA
as the f, but idea remains.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-30 19:50 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok, how about this : let K being the key n bits long (say 512), and let f(x) = 2 * K[0] * x ^ n + 3 * K[1] * x ^ n-1 + 5 * K[2] * x ^ n-2 + 7 * K[3] * x ^ n-3 + 11 * K[4] * x ^ n-4 +...+ 3643 * K[n-2] * x ^ 2 + 3659 * K[n-1] * x + 3659. f(x) will produce a pile of bits, this pile is cut in half and xored together, the result is cut in half again. one such half is returned
as the prng output ; the other such half
mircea_popescu: here's the one point i am making, overarchingly and i should hope
as loudly
as humanly possible : ~THERE IS MAJOR BREAKAGE IN THE EVAL FUNCTION~, whereby man looks at 10btc in 2015, thinks "$500" or w/e it was, and then goes "the amt of anti-superficial $500 buys me is one hour, not one day nor one week".
mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu>
as much
as you have now, could have been had then! for, literally, 1-2 man-days, at teh most. you dispute this ?" "<asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: nope. couldn't" "<mircea_popescu> sooo! what portion of this do you dispute ?" "<asciilifeform> that 'could have then' "
mircea_popescu:

as you have now, could have been had then! for, literally, 1-2 man-days, at teh most. you dispute this ?
mircea_popescu: might
as well capitalize on Mocky 's experience turn it into a ruby gem, yes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, maybe your thread. my thread was re "are we fucking idiots ?! we have a foundation that wants to publish statements of the nothing
as its only output, we have a bunch of smart people not helping our own industry avoid pitfals, and in this vein forever"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's,
as they call in busioness, "a no brainer" -- i ain't doing jack.
mircea_popescu: the only different element is that today, unlike in 2015 (and not even RIGHT NOW, today
as in this year) diana_coman published serpent code.
mircea_popescu: looky, the past 3 days' work could have been done just
as well in 2015
as today.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if you're curious -- the reason they "whisper" is because they have 0 confidence there's any listeners. and listener means a very specific thing : the sort of person who both a) meets the intelligence bar AND!!! ALSO!!!! b) does not hallucinate options. such
as "oh, dun need to do this now."
mircea_popescu: im not attached to serpent in any way other than in the following sense you're well fucking advised to pay attention to : 1. s.mg is a corporation, meaning ith's here to make money. 2. s.mg is also trying, but
as a fucking distant second, to be a "good" corporation, however that is politically defined. it doesn't give a fuck about this, not in any deep sense, if the money's good it'll go against policy, and CHANGE policy
as i
mircea_popescu: aactually... i guess i should've left that
as a comment on the article in q. brb.
mircea_popescu: and it turns out qatar is actually more important for india than india itself realises : it's where the aspie indie elite goes to learn to be "gay", ie, "i can't get any cunt anyway, might
as well get used to living with another dude, wardrobe
as well
as everything else comes cheaper this way, cheap enough in fact for even scum like me to get some".
mod6: If a guy is huge, but can't skate, then maybe he has an advantage
as a shitty defensemen -- plopping him in front of the net to keep the crease clear.
