BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One of those trannies can pass for 40
mircea_popescu: https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article13905138.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_MAIN-Brexit.jpg << anyone spot the difference >> https://archive.is/wUtKi/b3218d8701549846a8368939a450d4d3950f68b6.jpg ?
shinohai: That spider header has got to be one of my new faves mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the tradition is to send img hotlinkers goatse, but this also a++
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i went through the algo, to bake ffaistic proof of correctness, and get n - 1.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to post if you turn it up. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suspect you're exactly on point.
asciilifeform: mostly unrelatedly -- while diana_coman is awake -- diana_coman can you think of why vanstone et al give n - 2 upper bound for m-r witness ? cuz by theorem, it's good through n - 1
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 19:59 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706369 << how about focusing on your own fucking problems! clean up that pizza wrapper! cook for fucking once. go out and walk that misfortunate dog of yours. instead of pretending to "solve" the problems of distant others for the transparent reason that you can avoid having to confront not having done ANYTHING in a whole decade this way.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: by same token, a perpetuum mobile is also 'better' engine, dun need to fuel it. the 1 problem is that where do you get one.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-15 18:26 mircea_popescu: in the end the question comes down to, do you feel like a man, or do you feel like a woman ? just don't lie to me or lie to me prettily ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lotsa examples of these zombies, e.g.,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it aint even wrong, as such. simply ignores fact that it'll always say 'prime' when eats a carmichael.
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece where 'lasted just long enuff to show what freedom smelled like' or how did it go
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so, did 'procuror sef' ever answer ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i meant re the orig stolen trilema piece
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did the fraud complaint result in anyffin but the pictured lulgem?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these folx so stupid they dun even know how to mit-phuctor ??
asciilifeform: not seen, but iirc mircea_popescu actually mentioned this item elsewhere
a111: Logged on 2019-01-24 15:22 mircea_popescu: there's no option here : if they stay, maduro arrests them, "hostage situation" doesn't really wash, us stuck spending next 10 years "negotiating" with a maduro it put in a better position than kim ever was.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: have not read. loox interesting.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine they remain so the bombs can fly after Maduro sends the moving trucks
a111: Logged on 2019-01-18 17:04 mircea_popescu: but anyway, in the us the strictly only avenue left to the dnc is to "pretend" to "ignore". if they engage they get crushed. the party's already gone as a going concern, for which reason : the only way an imaginary party can continue its imagined hold on worldly things is through "ignoring" them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's that bach conjecture thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in that can check result with pen ? or canya think of some other reason..?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al : plox to lemme know if ~any~ part of this is unclear, cuz this is rather important moving part
asciilifeform inclined to reject koch's optimization ( which diana_coman retained ) where witness consists of rng(bitness_of_n - 2) , and actually make witness equal to rng(width) mod (n - 2) for full range
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:16 mircea_popescu: so, this poor unfortunate soul found herself living her parent's dream : an assistant professor! at the prestigious ubb no less!
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 17:18 mircea_popescu: but what do i know, i dun have fifty +1/+1 green beret cultural experts on the ground to write me briefs.
mircea_popescu: _75674 when mocked for it.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform meanwhile found it : http://trilema.com/2009/visurat-s-a-dat-de-goala/ (notable for saying "yesterday at [film festival] i saw two films. one was "the happiest girl in the world" and i found myself in there. i laughed, i felt a bitter taste in the mouth, and i realised i might end up like that", and then FAILING to make the connection with http://trilema.com/2017/alexandru-osvald-pastorel-teodoreanu/#footnote_17
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what did he write about ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Thinking on it, but unlike yesterday, there's a growing pile of material to be Qntra'd today.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 20:11 mircea_popescu: spyked is there a way for one to list what rss he's subscribed with feedbot ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: entirely possible, understaffed monkey house stretched thin and tired of maintaining pills for ancient shitsoft
a111: Logged on 2019-01-18 17:27 mircea_popescu: that they don't do anything in particular should be self-evident, but here's some lulz re "intelligent design" :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you upturn an old lappy, you can see whether it was bought orig in gringolandia, and had the winblowz tax, they stuck little stickers on'em
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sovok 'ads' were typically of 'agit' variety -- stern lenin face with 'lenin bids you to keep yer lathe clean and reduce workplace fatalities' etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are some ads that dun even pretend to make sense from commercial pov, and are strictly 'behold the glory of the great inca'. i used to ride the train erry day, it would as often as not be covered in ads for lockheed, grumman, etc, with photo of latest $trillion will-get-stuck-in-erry-canal boat, submarine, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re crapple, it's become a rich generator of lulz : their current strategy seems to consist of, per iteration of product : 1) cut an essential component (e.g. headphone jack) , and declare 'fashionable' 2) double price
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's very similar to cpp 'destructor' aha. with the diff that ada forces various limitations re the item, to prevent various cpp-esque lulz
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 21:38 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889180 << why can;t it be instantiated with knowledge of its size ?
asciilifeform: i dun disagree with (what i think is) mircea_popescu's upstack point, tho, bigger machine gives you bigger wrench to drop on yer foot re complexity.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 16bit ( barring various 'banking' trickeries ) addresses 2^16 == 64k.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja have 1 on yer jupiter or what was that ro z80 thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even ye olde pdp, addressed 512kB+
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 20:12 mircea_popescu: was very useful, up until registers went 32 bit.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 19:23 mircea_popescu weeps for whosoever is gonna try to summarize today's log sometime. by now the simple mechanics of log linking have created an actual programming language, by the time one's done unpacking the context and unwrapping the meaning, the sun will likely be down.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 15:11 diana_coman: it was more of a confusion/mess rather than real problem as such
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:16 mircea_popescu: diana_coman is working for s.mg ; we've recently had this exact talk and revised our plans. originally the idea was to have moved over to cuntoo, and do support work for community-driven effort at a new client. the latter completely collapsed over the shocking weakness of such community ; the former's at best delayed.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 15:02 asciilifeform: oh hm i thought diana_coman were baking client nowadays
feedbot: Usage: !1 {subscribe,unsubscribe} feed_url
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i currently suspect that all langs on planet3, living and extinct, have term for 'anal child'. it's a reasonably common bio-failuremode, like schizo etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read buncha trilema, lolwat.
asciilifeform: what were the latter called on mircea_popescu's home planet, iirc , tocilarii ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-18 18:59 mircea_popescu: 90% of the time i try to read something, the attempt fails ; and almost always it is because the author is insulting my smarts, not my intelligence. they're all such intelligent men, from sf writers to hayek to what have you. the problem is that they're not smart.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's quite a few ( or at least in asciilifeform's time, were ) 'olympiad' problems which are simply chinese-style 'do you know the classics' masquerading as olympiad problems
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the length of the 'coad' is a function of your working base.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-28 17:15 mircea_popescu: seems to me the unspoken heuristic is, "large enough so it's not meaningful [and therefore large enough to not bother] and small enough so it's not larger than some other number i thought about".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: indeed
a111: Logged on 2019-01-17 06:41 mircea_popescu: The apparent murder of journalist Ahmed Divela is chilling. Ghana is recognized by many, including me, as a vibrant, strong democracy and an example for the continent in many ways. " meanwhile in related lulz.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-21 15:48 mircea_popescu: oh, and, of course : "Latest activity PetiteGoddess21 posted a journal entry on her profile titled “ill sell whatever you want”: about 10 hours ago I'll sell whatever you want ;) ( including videos, pics ,sexting, etc) if got all types of cloths for sale and request how you want them and how many days worn you want I'll also include a video of me playing in them , using them or anything else ... continue reading → "
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun like to 'power ranger' ( as you called it in old essay ) a problem.
asciilifeform: ( mass-wise, apache is considerably closer to the mass of e.g. gcc, than trb ; but on other hand seems to need less massage as it is, as mircea_popescu fond of pointing out, it largely worx )
asciilifeform: e.g. trb , grew from acorn of tarball supplied by mircea_popescu in '14.
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see if you can dig up a favourite, plox, when you get chance
asciilifeform: btw does mircea_popescu have a apache tarball to sign ('as found') and share for cuntoo etc, a la gpg-1.4 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in each item's case, i'm interested in what's ~beneath~ the fungus
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 19:29 mircea_popescu: i suppose in this the model breaks down, with the advent of pseudo"technology", the shy withdrawing type can "HackerCombat LLC is a news site, which acts as a source of information for IT security professionals across the world. We have lived it for more than 1 year since 2017, sharing IT expert guidance and insight, [...] " bla bla bla all day long.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw mine never crashed either.
asciilifeform: ( alert reader will notice, it is based on http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/hypertext/ch15/fz_measr__adb.htm#29_13 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i promise to come back to the item laters, when have with what to illustrate.
asciilifeform: lol this begins to resemble the emacs thrd, but with asciilifeform & mircea_popescu switched chairs
asciilifeform: https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html << related lulz.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 15:34 mircea_popescu: why does it need keccak ?
asciilifeform: when i have a free hand or 2, i'ma apply diana_coman's published method to the thing and see whether cured.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: unless you desperately need mmap in your own proggy, i recommend not to bother with it nao
asciilifeform: but i suspect it's curable via diana_coman's recent method.
asciilifeform: i sawed on it for some weeks then, but only additional find was that any attempt at using controlled_limited from inside a static lib gave same effect.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the breakage is documented in the linked thread. it ends up shitting out a reference to an undefined symbol ( of meaningless numeric name ) on which linker then chokes.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i guess you didnt need limited_controlled in your item
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
asciilifeform looks fwd to studying diana_coman's example proggy
asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc you got static linker to work ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: we had some decent snow here in swampistan also ( and for 1st time in coupla yrs.. )
asciilifeform: oh hm i thought diana_coman were baking client nowadays ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a proggy is an 'ideal object', almost anyffin, within obv limits of algo complexity is 'possible'. but in actual practice 'notation is worth 80+/-iq' and some notations make folx into effectively downs syndrome sufferers when the # of moving parts crosses certain threshold
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it is in principle possible to write 'fits in head' c proggy, but afaik the last who knew how was d. ritchie..
asciilifeform: for that matter, mircea_popescu already described how to do proper routing -- gossipd.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 07:16 mircea_popescu: and yes, obviously, the problem is tcp connection is stateful, which means memory allocation, and SUCH THINGS (if not necessarily just that thing).
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 07:15 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889061 << this principle may be interesting in principle ; but in practice you refused to do anything about it, as per that whole http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847524 ; one's stuck concluding that there's more to the principle than the principle.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 07:13 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889040 << this is entirely besides the point. yes with 256 mb it can serve more simultaneously than with 64, but that's all the difference. the fact that a larger engine puts out more torque than a smaller engine isn't proof positive of "something fundamentally wrong with carnot cycles"
BingoBoingo suspects mircea_popescu did not dollar vigilante to Santiago for reasons, but holy fuckballs the average Argentine seems to offer more than Chile's best
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:57 mircea_popescu: are you making the alt juniper or arent you ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 03:08 asciilifeform: it doesn't stop being retarded simply cuz mircea_popescu and for that matter asciilifeform give the thing 256GB of ram to run it and never see the barf
