mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suspect it's more of the same "i want to want something i can't get because i want to want". horses and dogs more accessible, but horses are very much a showoff thing and dogs well... the afficionados tend to keep it quiet and get rammed often.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: tastes great with "i just want to be a mermaid"
ben_vulpes: ah i see
mircea_popescu: or wait, the dolphins are no longer fashionable i guess ? what is it now, whales ? or too shitlordy ?
ben_vulpes: relatedly, there are interesting fault lines at work in the left: anti-sex activists masquerading as feminists (see the CoC mentioning "sexualized language") vs the rad-fems who are cooking a whole pile of wtf for the left's pet "feminists" on the topic of "but i love cock and babies and mothering and what precisely is wrong with that and no you chicks with dicks can't come to my moon party"
ben_vulpes: heh, today i learned the unitards are so fully vested in the anti-sex brigade that U+1F346 or 🍆if my client doesn't mangle it, goes by the name of /aubergine/ ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i've not called my penis that in at least a decade!
mircea_popescu: i misplaced my thumbsup utf glyph again
ben_vulpes: oodles of symlinks, i read the thead
ben_vulpes: yes i know
mircea_popescu: i still think fsql is the way to go.
ben_vulpes: i saw
ben_vulpes: that said, i occasionally check my logs for reorgs and have yet to see one

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-03#1577423 << i got 2 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i dun think there's anything in the mozilla tree that's rescuable.
nick_name: i want to optimize searching algoritm.
mircea_popescu: i believe. though it was not really so far back.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the turks fucking had an idle class of ethnic greeks living in fanar for 3+ centuries, exactly mappable to any modern understanding of bureaucracy. nevertheless.
asciilifeform: mats: i'll take bullet instead.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i only learned of him today, from mircea_popescu
mats: i dunno why you feel this way about your talents
mats: i got the option of fleeing to .cn, this fantastical train of thought isn't really for my benefit
asciilifeform: mats: like you, i have no knowledge of a useful in free world profession.
mats: i almost forgot about alf's fatalism
mats: i don't, and i'm still struggling with the idea of abandoning everything and everyone i know to an uncertain fate
mats: (no, i'm not familiar with why jews didn't move there)
mats: i picture the fund covering the cost of pilot, plane, fuel, hasty emergency runway construction, and minimal perimeter security
a111: Logged on 2016-12-03 20:21 mats: i was thinking the americans in #t should pool an emergency airlift fund
trinque: eh I'm curious where Texas ends up, gonna stay right here.
mircea_popescu: ugh what am i, mafalda ?
mircea_popescu: how could i help ?
mats: i dunno what that means
mircea_popescu: why, to encourage the "i just wanted" folk to rely on it ?
mats: i was thinking the americans in #t should pool an emergency airlift fund ☟︎
shinohai: Looks like the tub-of-lard should be spending weekend at the gym, but what do I know: http://archive.is/KB7XS
asciilifeform: oh heh, looks like an entire mircea_popescu 2nd take on subj. i'ma read, bbl.
asciilifeform: in other ooooldz, http://www.oswego.edu/~baloglou/misc/index.html << every once in a long while i find one of these, uncle al - style fossils from when www was as a whole worth something
mircea_popescu: their idea i mean. "allow humans who give a shit to signal this to the network ; and allow their txn go first"
shinohai: I'm tempted to blow a few bitcents spamming the shit out of this: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
mircea_popescu: there are teams with better history, because linux or whatever. i wouldn't however bet on the theory there are better teams altogether. and no, "secret meta-nsa" doesn't get to dent this discussion. because clinton lost.
shinohai: I know of no other chan with such useful bots as this one has.
mircea_popescu: i'd say so yeh
shinohai: To quote mircea_popescu " the irc festivities are moving over to #trilema ; with a more selective lordship list and improved tools all around. " I think the improved tools have indeed materialized.
mircea_popescu: i suppose Framedragger now has to move.
thestringpuller: UK "banned" end to end encryption with Investigory Powers Act of 2016. I think it basically says companies in UK have to put back doors in their shit or they are "non-compliant", thus making end-2-end encryption illegal. Effects Blockchain.info users (who operates in UK). Takes effect 2017...
mircea_popescu: kinda gives a useful estimation of the total value of the whole rest of the ecosystem, i guess.
mircea_popescu: but i lolled at the dry "a very long depreciation schedule, possibly inexcess of five years".
mod6: so, thanks for all your efforts. i appreciate it.
mod6: fair enough, i can just throw in another i suppose.
mod6: ah, shit. i guess i agree. maybe I should have put a line in the top of that thing.
asciilifeform: picture if i ~had~ found that i can derive everybody's 1.4.10 priv.
mod6: and we've seen how close the rsacalypse. i feel like we were right there a few months back.
asciilifeform: i delved into subj seriously for first time after the close call in august
asciilifeform: probably i ought to have called it a cryptographic ejection seat
asciilifeform: fwiw i thought this was quite clear.
mod6: I like what it does, and it seems to make sense in the case where I might need this one single time. To prevent against cryptographic death, I can generate this key pair, sign it with my PGP key, and then send a one time message of my new PGP key fp to save me from hitting the ground.
asciilifeform: or, alternatively, a much easier sha1 collision, in which case i only fool ~all extant gpg clients~ but not a d00d with magnifying glass actually multiplying out the rsa
mod6: since it's confession time: I read asciilifeform's post probably 5 times total. Following through all of the steps at least 2x to get the hang of what was going on there, and reviewing the code.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you mean, "if i find aes collision, i can replace signed text with (longer) signed text" ?
mircea_popescu: it's no criticism whatsoever, it's confession. i'm working on it.
asciilifeform: i'll point out that i can forge , e.g., gpg signature from mircea_popescu if i find ONE collision
mircea_popescu: mod6 i confess i've not gotten my head altogether around the lamport thing.
mod6: i beleive that mentally, when you read a rating, you grok this text on some level, which invokes some type of response. i can be ignored, sure, but it happened never the less.
mircea_popescu: am i to not infer nuttin ?
mod6: i agree, but it tends to happen. that still doesn't take away that my rating is ~not~ a guarantee of anything.
mircea_popescu: yeah, there's gonna be a bit of overlap/restating agreement as i go through the whole pile. sorry bout the department of redundancy department.
mod6: Yah, and then should I need it, I can use the lamport priv key to send a message "hey, it's mod6. my new pgpkey fp is: ABCDEF1234567890..."
a111: Logged on 2016-12-03 03:38 mircea_popescu: i think actually he was perfectly satisfied with what we arrived at.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-03#1577133 << aha, I am. ☝︎
mod6: I should clearsign the pubkey with my pgp-pubkey and deedbot this, aha?
mod6: So, changing subjects for a minute... I have these lamport battle-ready pub/priv keys made.
mod6: i thought also that i remembered some guy who tried to hijack your nick or something.
asciilifeform: i thought he was referring to a pre- +m trinque
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576744 << this i think is entirely undisputed. ☝︎
mod6: I agree there too. When you sign a vpatch, you're saying, "I, have read (or wrote) this, and I place my seal upon it as it is correct and right." Not, "mod6 wrote this thing, I rate him a '+1 Cool Guy' for effort."
mod6: should I be hung up by my heels for that?
mod6: it's even happened to me. i rated a guy with positive rating, he didn't scam me at all. but he apparently scammed some other people.
mircea_popescu: i think actually he was perfectly satisfied with what we arrived at. ☟︎
mod6: i get trinque's worry; that he'll wake up and find his wallet emptied out; and he wants a pill against that. the preposed solution is fine for that. but signed ratings is not the answer imho.
mircea_popescu: and ironically i can give a negative evaluation in spite of my positive rating - other lady friend asks me about having kids with the guy - i'll tell her about daugther ; and if the daughter's not a total futz, if her drinking friend asks about dad he'll get a + notwithstanding he's an asshole. or maybe won't, depending on how much of an asshole he is generally. but there's the ambiguity.
mod6: yeah, i see.
mircea_popescu: the wot isn't a computable graph. i mean it's drawable, obviously, and the drawing's not futile, but just because the machine can draw it dun mean the machine grasps it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 not only that, but there's a lot of flexibility required in actual human intercourse. "x is a great drunk and a miserable father, so has - from daughter and + from me. i'm friends with the daughter and we fuck occasionally. problem ?"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 20:57 trinque: if my dead grandfather hated someone, I would most certainly care about that given that he was a man I respected.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> and herein included - all my ratings. you can not at some point come and say "X scammed me of a btc and you had him rated +1 therefore you owe me some cents" << while reading, this is what I was thinking too. We've seen many times where someone reputable has a positive rating for X, and then later X scams out. These ratings can't act as a guarantee; which would place the rater in some leg
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576713 << i read it at the time. i didn't like it among other things because it exhibits unbounded complexity. iirc we discussed this briefly back then. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));
a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 20:35 danielpbarron: so i assumed people would still have to resister their actual key with the bot prior to getting their eulora account
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576658 << the way i intend THAT to work is that client connects to server, by sending encrypted magic packet which includes its fp ; if server has that fp it sends challenge string and logs in the player ; if server has not that fp it sends challenge string and proceeds ot character creation. nice and streamlined. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 20:35 danielpbarron: i mean i'm not gonna put my key on a networked machine
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576653 << the way i have this sketched in my head is that you ~as your avatar~ have a presence that's distinct from you ~as your freenode nick~. ☝︎
phf: i checked b-a log because somebody mentioned activity, a few weeks ago and it's literally the same conversation. i remember he tried directly intervening, "warning" cockli guy i think, and cockli's reaction was "you seem like a crazy dude with an agenda", but i guess a strategy of "mpex is long gong and nobody heard from mp" probably works better
