asciilifeform: 'My laptop was getting slower and slower. It wasn’t a very powerful laptop, but it was the only computer I had to play WoW on. This was really frustrating me, because eventually it became so slow that it ruined my gaming experience. I kept pestering my mother and father to get me a faster laptop that was more efficient for gaming.' (from rodger part 4) ☟︎
mats: I just noticed skype squatting on port 80, serving up a blank page
phf: ok, i'll fix that later
phf: asciilifeform: unfortunately nothing exciting, i had a stale gpgme ctx
phf: oh, it definitely works. i can load a previous core and that same set of patches passes
phf: you mean do i call out to a v? no, it ~is~ a v
asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever sigsegv'd a pure-lisp process that didn't (safety 0)
phf: i figured, but i suspect it's a much more mundate explanation. nothing's change in gpg/gpgme setup from the previous core, so this must be something novel in the way cmucl is packing itself to a core file, or perhaps it's not reloading those foreign libs properly ☟︎
phf: and the way i'm using it is non-traditional (or perhaps very traditional depending on how you look at it)
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw, cmucl has all kinds of nooks and crannies that i don't want to bring up on account of our recurring "why cmucl" conversation ☟︎
phf: i rebuilt the core from scratch since there was a handful of reload-breaking updates, and that's first thing i'm getting on load
phf: i wouldn't be surprised if somebody sets safety 0, that's something that i should actually grep for, but i think it's gpgme that's doing it
asciilifeform: and i suspect that there is a journatard bootcamp somewhere, where they make this haircut. why have i seen 1,001 turdmeisters with it..?
phf: i'm glad TONY MEREVICK pictured here https://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/1757937/size/tl-author_web.jpg has an opinion about the shape of £25m flying machine
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not much of a prop comic myself. you're the one bringing little boards and probiscii and whatnot!
trinque: I see it.
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm, right. I'm describing a particular brand of neurotic american stress, not petrification.
phf: BingoBoingo: i have no idea what their endgame was, i think that they had some old fashioned notion of bad student, that they were committed to living out for as long their livers last. to be fair a "brilliant", but "misunderstood" alcoholic student is a european stereotype (it used to be mocked, but then there's a handful of books, where their genius is recognized type deal). i think u.s. philosophy majors carry alcoholism as a kind of
diana_coman: myeah, the what do you feel or even what do you think is just a bone to pick with current idiocy , nothing to do with what I was saying

BingoBoingo: phf: Kinda why I switched to Library School on a different campus. That and the "hold pattern for a decade and phd" thing lost its appeal.
phf: BingoBoingo: the whole group was like a walking stereotype. a tall sickly looking polish guy with bowl haircut. an italian with unruly hair who was pretending to be an upper-class englishman. i don't think i've ever seen them sober, i suspect they were pretty dull otherwise

diana_coman: since we had classes starting usually at 8am if not 7:30 at uni on most days (they surely wouldn't have all fitted otherwise in a week/daytime if starting any later), I did not grasp the early concept correctly, lol
diana_coman: oh, I thought they woke up early as in woke up at 6am to read for the class out of fear or something
BingoBoingo: phf: Amazing! When I was in a graduate philosophy program it was dominated by the same ethos!!! Also, there's always one or more polish students in philosophy program.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-25#1529232 << when i used to drink heavily back in philadelphia my собутыльники (literally "those who share bottles", a derisive way of saying that the thing we had in common was an excuse to drink) was a small group of european philosophy ph.d.-s from upenn program. those guys would habitually get blackout drunk, which they thought was most important skill of a philosopher. usually we'd end up at one of ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai here i am
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i need to dig out those banners, will ping you if/when this happens
Framedragger: i always thought it was a play on 'dilemma'. something something hegelian triad
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i guess so huh.
diana_coman: culturally acceptable I mean there
BingoBoingo: "My parents shocked me with very horrible news. They were planning on sending me to Taft High School. Taft had five times as many students as Crespi, it was a public school, it had girls in it, and it had a bad reputation. I had never been so scared in my entire life. How could they do this to me, after knowing what I went through at Crespi? Taft High School would eat me alive and spit me out. I felt so betrayed by my parents." << AHA, I
mircea_popescu: i had no idea Proust was "married celibate"
phf: i soon started to develop great envy
phf: i thought there's a happy ending, but i made a mistake of googling the guy after part one
phf: man, this story is going to give me nightmares, it's a nightmare in which i'm reading the story and can't get out
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo civ was very weak because it had a number of "rush". i could consistently win rushing the (large landmass) globe with cavalries.
phf: i think i'm actually misremembering, but i found pensées. "congratulations, your civilization has discovered: writing"
phf: actually i think we had a thread about it
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure the case of breach was yet born when the problem truly was "nobody could have predicted". virtually all go "o hey, if we as much as gave a shit for seven straight seconds..."
phf: so i shouldn't trust myself to run opsec either
mircea_popescu: you know i clip these and store them in a large wooden chest.
phf: mircea_popescu: you're totally right, i have no idea what i was thinking
mircea_popescu: tbh i haven't played one since thief.
mircea_popescu: genius game from this perspective ; in any discussion of "video games help kids" i always think of supaplex.
BingoBoingo: "blindspots" if I recall
mircea_popescu: so then what do i care that he is saying that i told him "x" ?
asciilifeform: i read phf's thing as simply 'you are counting on other side not to simply lose the plaintext, and not to shoot out both of your feet by sending an intended signed ciphrogram in the clear'
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 18:26 phf: well, that's not a noshit for every reader i suppose. if you gnupg with an incompetent person you might end up with things that you want explicitly hidden on record "beyond a reasonable doubt". shit if you gnupg with competent person you ought to think twice what to send, and if tradititional public premediated c&c is a better option
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-24#1528973 << i don't understand how you think gpg works. explain this to me ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 18:04 asciilifeform: anyway, i only bring up subj because 'what are some things to do at meat meetups.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ima add it to list. but first i wanna finish the anhero niceguy.
asciilifeform: folks who've worked under the u.s. pentagon, will know what i am speaking of.
wyrdmantis: the rabbit shithole run more deep than i thought
shinohai: Certainly not my type of luscious flesh, but then again I prefer brunettes.
phf: but if you actually believe that, there's a very lucrative Lockheed martin contract i can hook you up with
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: okay. so in game of hide and go seek in kojima's world. AI is like player but more liek child. It can see, it can hear, it can even smell. So if player is running in rain and footsteps appear, AI follows players trail. If AI hears suspicious noise in certain area it goes and "looks around". The thoroughness of its hunt is relative to difficulty. I was saying more if you want to go the "purist" route. You can make the hi
thestringpuller: i wasn't saying that.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 17:23 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand (and this is quite certainly not an expert view) most mmporg tried to use robotic 'npc' to fill this eco niche.
asciilifeform: phf: where i argued that the ~only~ genuine advantage of a physical key is that it is possible to destroy the only copy
asciilifeform: if this becomes obvious IMMEDIATELY when it happens, it means that i have done my work here CORRECTLY.
asciilifeform: i fully expect to be killed at some point, and in such a way that usg gets some or all of my key material.
asciilifeform: 'oops i went on vacation and forgot' 'mmok'
phf: if traditional american police (and not even special lizard hitler goons) were to raid your house right now, while you're at work, on a suggestion that you run a drug market, and confiscate every piece of electronics&c they could get their hands on, what is the chance that they will find your key? how much trust should i put in your answer? both are obviously rhetorical questions. presumably, if we were to gpg gram, you will have to

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-24#1528522 << "with any luck the most we can hope for is that they're tolerable company. if one's halfway qualified to be sent to more school, i'll consider myself lucky. and if we're unlucky, well, there's always the beach and teaching surfing." ☝︎
mod6: i'd prefer to an enigmatic pile of crap that is gnupg
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i half-expect to hand out otp's at the next meat gathering. << werd.
ben_vulpes: ah no i'm wrong on that one
ben_vulpes: i can think of one that's not, anyways, 'tis a joke.
asciilifeform: anyway, i only bring up subj because 'what are some things to do at meat meetups.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have a little bit of custom hardware for making this bearable, but this 'parachute' is not yet deployed in the field.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i half-expect to hand out otp's at the next meat gathering.
mircea_popescu: in a contest between man and rat i'll bet on rat.
mircea_popescu: "oh your world won't work, demiurge" "no problem, i'll add ai to it" "idiot"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand (and this is quite certainly not an expert view) most mmporg tried to use robotic 'npc' to fill this eco niche. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i never had one, only seen picture.
mircea_popescu: no ; it's a volume-vs-quality issue. sometimes i just need a lot of cruddy flotsam for a job ; it's wasteful to use hand carved 1700 bedposts for it, so to speak.
mircea_popescu: see asciilifeform if i dig up a flotsam claim, i get flotsam quality 250ish. when they do it, quality 9.
asciilifeform: count me as naive, but i gotta ask
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah, i had this notion that it was discounted recently.
mircea_popescu: abrr i was talking to shinohai ; what you have to do is register your gpg key with deedbot and get the game client running. you got either of these ?
abrr: what i must do for 0.01 BTC ?
shinohai: mircea_popescu well i hope you're having fun. <<< least I could do in exchange for the #trilema girl
a111: Logged on 2014-08-27 01:00 asciilifeform: 'pardon my cynical twist, but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_? If you answer "nutt'n, I jus kinda wondered what it'd be like, you know", you should be very happy that I am most likely more than 3000 miles away from you, or I would come over and slap you hard.'
abrr: hi i am here for 0.01 BTC bitcoin talk
asciilifeform: asker presumably wanted a crib sheet. i.e. benchmark.
mircea_popescu: "these women seem like they may be what i want to fuck. any way to know which i'd enjoy without actually fucking anything ?"
mircea_popescu: "<audrow> pipping: I see. Femlisp seems good. I think femlisp, LLA, and GSLL meet my requirements. Do you have any idea how to compare the performance of various libraries, short of trying them all?" << ok, i must say i am deeply impressed with those snr enforcement measures :D
mircea_popescu: well i hope you're having fun.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the unwritten codex of the place is "nothing exists before the third bump"
shinohai: Nah it's in the same place, just finally got some attention, I went back and bumped it a few times.
trinque: I have started lurking in #clim to see how gabriel_laddel's climwars are going.
phf: it worked better when i had the patience to exist on large channels (#lisp for example), but now i'm checking erc-lurker-state it's the exhaustive list of all the people i even have on all of the channels
phf: it doesn't hide, it redirects it elsewhere. to places where i rarely ever read it..
mircea_popescu: i also agree with the general point
asciilifeform: i strongly dislike client-side filters for anything.
mircea_popescu: phf i don't want to hide anything.
