mircea_popescu: course i guess that's all happenstance, nsa starts building long divisor processors.
mircea_popescu: i've not done the actual math, per N size, but there's entire classes of messages that "could" work. you won't get enough precision until you have MANY messages.
mircea_popescu: right. which is what i'm saying : if you're into ditching snake oil, you'll have to come to equations.
mircea_popescu: "well... all my friends are gone...i'm so lonely... listen, why don't you bring them back to me ?"
mircea_popescu: "why you're so dumb i'd be loath to separate you from humanity. here, say where you each wanna go and i'll take you there, as an act of mercy (for you)".
asciilifeform: i have nfi what is interesting re the linked piece
jurov: no i have some russians on fb that do.. some stuff they dredge up is so funny
shinohai: And ... i got banned for making > 20 requests to browser.bitcoin.io
shinohai: Peace is a busy I guy, I do say.
jurov: I need the account name, and whether it should be transferred there automatically from now on.
gernika: jurov: ok. will be a bit. I'm currently in the process of vomiting out copious amounts of Rails code.
jurov: Yes. just pgp sign the text "I agree." ☟︎
gernika: jurov: thx. I have an account on coinbr.com. Would that be the best way?
asciilifeform: 'Hey there! My name is Jacob Appelbaum. I'm pretty famous for stealing other people's research and putting my own name on it. I also spend a lot of my time pretending to be a badass hacker, but actually I can only barely code. I enjoy using my social capital, influence, and power in order to manipulate other people into getting what I want. From all that, it's pretty clear that I'm awesome! However, in several communities, I'm perhap ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Some China from the mines: The father sat reflecting on how much joy his two sons brought to him during the year. He decided to buy them both the present of their choice this holiday season. When he asked his older boy what he would like, the son replied, “Oh boy, I would like so many things. Maybe a bicycle, or new skis, or skin diving equipment. I wish I would have them all, but any one would make me happy.”
shinohai: I wasn't sure it was lulzy enough, but may do a brief writeup before gf gets here.
asciilifeform: but i do.
ben_vulpes: yeah, i recall
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ;;later tell mod6 http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-05#1477259 << the node links all 404 << ah, thanks forgot that i changed the file name ☝︎
asciilifeform: jurov: i have had for many years a box running said item, and it has never oom'd.
asciilifeform: i wonder how many people understand what a BLIGHT niels bohr was on his field.
a111: Logged on 2015-09-01 03:19 mircea_popescu: and i'm like..... mmmkay nevermind.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell jurov i recently dug up your oldie, http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-December/000186.html , and had a thought: did we ever investigate why, e.g., 0.8+, doesn't leak ?
asciilifeform: as a kind of dope user (of caffeine) i will put it differently
mircea_popescu: myeah, in that sense i guess.
mircea_popescu: i know of no better heuristic for "idler"
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm sure there were people in america who believed the spanish showing up to be a good thing.
asciilifeform: i was referring to the 'we are small and weak and please don't rape us gnomecoin folk' types.
asciilifeform: everything starts somewhere. but as observer i am more interested in whether it has wheels to begin with.
mircea_popescu: at least that's how i saw it ; "i ~~~just want to~~~ work on these technical problems, and will ignore/hallucinate/otherwise cope with the political implications"
mircea_popescu: technically i suppose the word would be emotional debt.
mircea_popescu: it's one of those "i'll be a man and everything else will stay as it was when i was a child".
asciilifeform: it means, as i understand, 'this dun work but WE KNOW HOW TO FIX!111111 and will fix before anyone notices!11'
asciilifeform: i could've sworn we had a monero thread
asciilifeform: i thought monero was an ancient heresy
mircea_popescu: well, pick different abstractions i guess, because the only response stavka has for "we don't have adequate tools" is coming down a gun barrel.
mircea_popescu: this isn't the case ; and that it isn't the case is proof archsufficient it knows EXACTLY what's what and OPTS to not do what i tell it to.
mircea_popescu: i'm willing to bet it isn't,.
mircea_popescu: DONT LOOK AT ME! I'm not the one who came up with that bright idea.
mircea_popescu: not like i care "how it worx"
mircea_popescu: no. i do not want to kill the program. i want to force it to drop what it's doing and pay attention.
mircea_popescu: but can i ? mmmmno.
mircea_popescu: i want what used to be signal 6, ABRT ; indicating to the receiving item to immediately drop whatever subroutine is doing and continue above.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder if i'm the only guy who ever had one blog.
asciilifeform: the release was quasi-forced, i found where he kept it and linked publicly (it was not well-hidden)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo will be stimulated to learn that there is some sort of comic book convention going in washington and i saw 'land whales' last night in a train, headed from it to dinner
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've seen them, they simply aren't to be met with regularly anywhere i've been
asciilifeform: having seen in real life the circa freaks in question, i find it plain as daylight that they cannot reach own arse
mircea_popescu: i honestly believe the item exists because you were bored one day ; and people couldn't distinguish between "social media signal" and actual need.
asciilifeform: i'll have to pull it off optical disk.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-05 13:42 mircea_popescu: and in your daily "i'm doing research on social media and it ends up moving the market" news, http://www.collarspace.com/details.asp?v=2416633&bhcp=1
mircea_popescu: and in your daily "i'm doing research on social media and it ends up moving the market" news, http://www.collarspace.com/details.asp?v=2416633&bhcp=1 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: im not sure i know what you mean by insectoid.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't even going there.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how chinese children end up learning it.
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm new. i spent most of my life not giving a shit.
asciilifeform: as i said years ago. as schwartz said. etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-05 02:49 mircea_popescu: nope. i have nfi how they could possibly "bitrot" seeing how the sks updates are really supposed to pass hashes of files too
mircea_popescu: nope. i have nfi how they could possibly "bitrot" seeing how the sks updates are really supposed to pass hashes of files too ☟︎
asciilifeform: this example makes 0 sense tho. if i know that martians will devour me in 1 week, i sure as fuck wouldn't work
asciilifeform: can i pick sitting on my arse and smelling ze flowers and dying of hunger in ~2~ month ?
mircea_popescu: kinda why the whole "materialism", be it whichever socialist flavour is so lulzy. dude, srsly, "you've solved the problems of people" ? gee whiz, i wonder why they can't be arsed to pick up your calls.
mircea_popescu: there's this moment of manhood for homer simpson when marge bakes a pie and he says "i'm just going to chew this way, no pies better be getting in my way".
mircea_popescu: you're so narrowly welded to this "i will improve my lot" us quakerism. what algo.
mircea_popescu: i dunno ? do we ?
mircea_popescu: better kill some turks i guess.
asciilifeform: i read a very distinct 'yarrrrrrrrrrrr i'ma a pirate and yer all landlubbin' scum' in mircea_popescu's earlier observations re 'negotiating position' and 'why not try not eating'
mircea_popescu: which come to think about... i dunno where they find these. i knew maybe half dozen 13yo i'd have vouched for, and that's already pushing it.
asciilifeform: i thought it was as proof of min iq for marriagebility
asciilifeform: i thought they still had some in afghan or wherever.
mircea_popescu: but now i finally understand why i'm mostly uninterested in having any truck with males.
mircea_popescu: i can't say i particularly care either way.
asciilifeform: is there a 3rd jar i'm missing ?
mircea_popescu: no, it's alweays "if i do really well maybe I WILL BE". you'll be what, exactly.
mircea_popescu: it's never you know, i'm the lord of aquitanie, here lost in fucking coventry and i want to go back home.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i gotta take college debt on, i'm in a weak negotiating position. otherwise i don't get to my bright fucking future".
mircea_popescu: the irony of all time being that all these schmucks running around enacting this damsel in distress fantasy "oh noes i'm in a WEAK NEGOTIATING POSITION" are all working class stiffs with absolutely nothing to look for anyway, and that in the best case.
mircea_popescu: what you call "a weak negotiating position" i call being a woman. you're supposed to take it up the ass ; that's the design.
mircea_popescu: "everything i do is me being in a '''weak''' negotiating position. it's my sexual fantasy."
a111: Logged on 2016-06-04 16:33 asciilifeform: i can see it from dirigible, firing warning hbomb shots across potomac river. but from captive derp ?
mircea_popescu: how would i be ?
asciilifeform: i clean it manually.
asciilifeform: i have a box that gets 400+ pieces of shit every day.
asciilifeform: i did, at various times, as a very heavy cost of this 'earning bread' thing.
mircea_popescu: a) i never participated in groups where open address was the norm and b) you'd have to go through filters to get to me.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe i ever found myself in this "email" situation. not ever. trilema comments have been a shocking exception, but otherwise
asciilifeform: you can choose to call whitemail 'email', aesthetic preference i guess, but it is NOT same.
mircea_popescu: i just used it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno man, always takes more to write than it takes to not read.
asciilifeform: i'm with the latter. but also observed that 'resistance of the medium' is a thing, and that if cranking out crapolade costs 0, then the most prolix idiot is winner.
mircea_popescu: now, as per the former, you'd have to forbid anyone from writing anything about "neoreaction" because i dunno, they're clouding out the true truth as found on your blog.
asciilifeform: hanno bock did his thing for the cost of a glass of schnapps or whatever. whereas in, say, 100 yrs ago, he and i would both have to pay for typesetting etc.
mircea_popescu: i see not the difference. before, you had to get permission from authority to publish ; then, you had to get enough money / promise of sales together ; finally, you had to have a "following".
asciilifeform: hence why i pinch my nose and hear out the scavengers.
asciilifeform: what other do i need ?
mircea_popescu: well, and until i learn stupid myself, dickens' my man for stupid.
asciilifeform: fact is, until i learn cn myself, spandrell's me man for cn.
asciilifeform: i dun see this dichotomy.
asciilifeform: i know nothing of spandrell's doom - perhaps he is raising his children in a madrassa, where they have perfect marks in shaheed belt preparation.
