mircea_popescu: but yes, re the тяжело в учении -- легко в бою bit -- it comes as a shock generally that "your training must ~exceed~ actual usage, by a ~factor~. you don't train for 80% of what you'll do ; you train for 250% to 300%+ of what you'll actually do."

mircea_popescu: yeah. it contains nice ass, in the middle of the lead sphere.

mircea_popescu: and btw, the idiot airport guards keep slicing the weights. cuz it's by now so rare an item i guess, "gotta see what's inside".

mircea_popescu: "but mp, why does girl need to wear 5kgs of ankle weight for hours on end ?" "so when i fuck her, her knees are straight"

mircea_popescu: there is such a thing as ankle weights. my slavegirls should know, they get them lots.

mircea_popescu: and the "too heavy" helmets ?

mircea_popescu: anyway ; i thought that point comes through, but maybe not as well as i'd have wanted.

mircea_popescu: but i also don't like to hear that buzzing sound.

mircea_popescu: right. so you know, my allergy "to the short ooda loop" is all the flies going "o man, this is great! yay!". it's not to the fucking meat, i eat steak tartare every so often

mircea_popescu: point remains, two bit everything all around. that's your "short ooda loop". it's a lot closer to cocaine than the users realise.

mircea_popescu: and i was sitting there in disbelief, "dude, it's two milf lamers in a tub, what the fuck".

mircea_popescu: you know i recently googled a pic, and google helpfully informed me who the, and i quote, "reality television personality, model, entrepreneur, socialite, and social media personality" involved were ?

mircea_popescu: HOWEVER. she can dance. she can sing. because she's a 1950s actress, and that was a PROFESSION which MEANT SOMETHING.

mircea_popescu: i saw a terrible film recently, with doris day. something something bla bla bla. she spends the whole time in an ugly looking deerskin.

mircea_popescu: no but see, all the faggots that take pics today and didn't in 1970 are exactly all the faggots that couldn't read books before they were made on pulp paper by pulp paper book makers.

mircea_popescu: "but mp... i ~copuld~ take better pics today than in 1970. point in case -- i didn't even TAKE pics back then"

mircea_popescu: pro tip : photographs taken today are shittier than photographs taken on film. who dun it ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i am at no point in there hating on short ooda loop. i am hating on the idiocy he surrounds it with.

mircea_popescu: then they wonder why they don't ever have any gfs, these people. "i tried to evaluate whether she's my gf in a second or less, came out negative" "maybe give it i dunoo... FIVE DAYS ?" "omfg what ? i don't like... live that long"

mircea_popescu: sprucing up the dummkopf article ; apparently i hadn't put enough links in there, counterintuitively.

mircea_popescu: hm, that's a thought

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that sentiment, but different words. 2015ish vintage i tihnk

mircea_popescu: esthlos, there's some discussion, after which i pick something and start asking people nicely / kicking them in the head about it.

mircea_popescu: i've not thought a line in my life!

mircea_popescu: there's this vicious slander going about according to which i actually use some sort of thought process. i wish to deny such rumours right now.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, where's the logline of you going "hey, this is confusing to me therefore cryptic to anyone" ?

mircea_popescu: bill s.nsa for 'em and there you go. worst case we have some not-great hammers.

mircea_popescu: the worst case being what, a pile of useless data ? big woop, i have some of that myself, isn't killing me.

mircea_popescu: i'm telling you, building a fuzzing harness for a bunch of these may not be a bad way to lock down a machine (driving the fuzzing) for a week or two.

mircea_popescu: after all the "rsa is broken because we've been misimplementing it for 20 years under our governmentalpg brand hurr" stories, it'd be quite pleasant.

mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than qntra running a "google's ecc crypto defeated in field"

mircea_popescu: listen, my (often wrong, millitantly ignorant, whatever) intuition is that if oyu have an oracle in your hands (the chip after all DOES say yes or no) and all you want to do is produce a sig it accepts for an arbitrary string, you should be able to achieve this bit fiddling in less than 2^256 tries.

mircea_popescu: you know, it occurs to me... it it's a captive minichip. it should be... defeatable. keep feeding it bad sigs and measure the powerlines.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i'd still like to get some actual working something out of whatever kanzureism "zeptobar" currently is.

mircea_popescu: hey phf, you actually know the fellows ? how about they show up here and work something out ?

mircea_popescu: !!up trinque

mircea_popescu: but whatever, it's what the empire's got, #lisp is about "lisp" and so on.

mircea_popescu: six months, during which not one reader of irclog.whitequark.org turned out to exist should be amply sufficient data from that angle.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2018/and-in-other-dead-things/ the history of it.

mircea_popescu: quantum computing something something, i kinda tuned out past that point.

mircea_popescu: cuz whatever, everyone's speshul and lives life on own terms and whatever geeky bs.

mircea_popescu: i mean, doodn's not even had the common decency to reg up, however many months later.

mircea_popescu: i mean, the backstop would obviously be "either follow spec as-is or get out of chan", i suppose. i don't specifically care either way, we already have plenty of proper loggers for one thing, and the original, "Hey, maybe someone exists on freenode that's both a) not totally braindead and b) hasn't heard of #trilema yet" was thoroughly proven wrong by now ; the intelligence flow is the other way.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, phf & anyone in the l1 that cares : should i actually push this http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-07#1821229 thing ? ☝︎
