asciilifeform: ( but i dun work in this circus, so nfi )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this'd likely end with a gorbachev-like 'mr. president is not feeling well today, or this week, needs his rest' while pantsuits take the wheel.

asciilifeform: while lizards -- retained

asciilifeform: which ended with ~his~ appointees there being sacked

asciilifeform: iirc he was last seen trying to hammer the cameras in 'security council'

asciilifeform: yes but mircea_popescu's security folx for ~for mircea_popescu~ and not for 'our demoocracy'

asciilifeform: iirc he tried 'not let', it didn't quite work

asciilifeform: what sort of 'private life' has someone who shits in supervga.

asciilifeform: d00d prolly at this point has ss cameras filming him taking a shit, from 4 angles.

asciilifeform: they are characters in 'realityshow'

asciilifeform: ah, example was re how it is unclear to me that professional actors like 'potus' ~meaningfully have~ privatelives

asciilifeform: i.e. designated punching bag

asciilifeform: because trump is zhirinovsky

asciilifeform: yes but mircea_popescu came equipped with a head.

asciilifeform: d00d is then 'on the clock' 24/7/365, or goes the theory.

asciilifeform: ( try running dh on, say, a kByte of anything whatsoever )

asciilifeform: well no, not so simple, dh is happy to print 'weak' or 'fail' that resulted from... IT WRAPPING THE STRING

asciilifeform: but instead we get... rewinds.

asciilifeform: i could live with 'too few bits? yer stuck with lower P, and oh here i'll print the P'

asciilifeform: it is in this case specifically cargocultism, rather than application

asciilifeform: the notion of making a statistical claim about a doubled-tripled-15upled up string, is ????????.

asciilifeform: 0 reply.

asciilifeform: and i did ask 'why?!!!'

asciilifeform: aaaha.

asciilifeform: as i understand it was a statistical ('p value') demand by the author.

asciilifeform: some tests still read 'rewound 15 times'

asciilifeform: yes!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got one here with 16G and counting

asciilifeform: and would not reply to asciilifeform's or other (iirc BingoBoingo ) attempts to find why

asciilifeform: author apparently considered 'p value too low unless TB of input' or whatnot

asciilifeform: hey, it's a hose from the stable's piss trough -- but at least it doesn't block !!

asciilifeform: use /dev/fauxwater

asciilifeform: they sure do!111

asciilifeform: 'Sources need to be statistically assessed. The quality of the entropy being produced needs to be estimated so that enough can be released to properly seed the RNG. The dieharder and TESTU01 suites are good but they both require prohibitively large amounts of random data to operate. NIST's SP800-90B tests seem to be statistically sound and have manageable data requirements....' << didjaknow!

asciilifeform is quite looking forward to the frenzied butthurtz of the shitlibs folx when 'p' is released.
