trinque: speaking of press, press needs
to ask where
to press as a parameter, and not have a default.
trinque: esthlos:
there's also no sense in giving
the
thing a version number.
the "version" is
the patch
the operator pressed
to.
trinque: aha, people are going
to be able
to
tell
the context.
lobbes: but, I suppose in
this situation, I may as well use
the "username:" and forgo
the quote
lobbes: asciilifeform: I don't dislike. I was operating under
the mode of "reduce log clutter (via not
triggering $quotebot) if quote being referenced is ~10 lines away"
trinque: it'd be bad form
to
try
to
throw a genesis patch "over
the wall" for
this without
taking
the
time
to have
the necessary
threads.

trinque is peeling back
the layers
trying
to see what gpg is cranky about. meanwhile, why'd
the (defpackage :v ...) go away?
lobbes: mircea_popescu> [23:49:57]
then
there's nepos, appian, dio.. << ah, excellent,
these give me a lot
to run with.
ty
trinque: imho
the quote and
then comment style is far superior
trinque: lobbes: I find your quoting style kinda hard
to read. looks like a non sequitur in whatever
thread
they appear until
the end is reached, and oh ">>"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 19:22 mircea_popescu: lobbes, sure ;
though it's iffier
there, in
that caesar and
then espeically augustus actually attempted a restart of
the proper republic out of
the ashes of
the shit it had ended up in. caesar in
this sense is
the polar opposite of lincoln, ie, attempted
to manipulate
the overwhelming pantsuit into
the extinction-or-sanity dilemma, rather
than being manipulated by
the underwhelming pantsuit into internecine warfare.
lobbes: I really need
to get back
to reading Gibbon's "Decline and Fall",
though I'm starting
to
think
that perhaps I should be starting with a
text
that deals with
the -rise and formation- of
the republic and eventual empire so as
to give better context as
to what, exactly, was declining. And on
that note: anyone recommend a good
text for
that subject? >>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815645 ☝︎ lobbes: it really is. most depressing quote I overheard
the other day in
the cubicle fields: "I just want
to climb
the corporate ladder". It is like
the legends of "band continuing
to play while
Titanic sank"
mircea_popescu: it's certainly better
than running about chasing own
tail in
the nonsensical dilemmas of democracy.
lobbes: phew, I've got a lifetime of
translating ahead of me. It is fun, however
mircea_popescu: in any case -- kant without greek is an iffy proposition, because
the fellow was practically
the last athenian.
lobbes: I'm
truly beginning
to grok
that
these days
lobbes: tedious at first, but has already saved my ass on so many occasions (my
trb install adventure, recently, for example)
lobbes: I will say, I've started keeping very detailed notes of everything I do re: my various projects. has become an extension of my brain really >> mircea_popescu> and even
today, i know ~nothing "without checking my notes". nor do i want
to, wtf.
that's why
there's a log, after all, because of
this style.
mircea_popescu: presumably next step after
that,
they'll challenge
the king of persia
to "single combat".
talk about infantile worldviews.
mircea_popescu: defining knowledge as "that which happens without your notes" is not unlike
telling a bunch of F1 pilots
that speed is
that which happens without
their car. really ?
mircea_popescu: this simple measure experimentally increases productivity by an order of magnitude, counterintuitive as
that may be. because "programming" essentially consists of people spending
ten hours
to save five minutes, much like "business" is, by bulk, people working 14
to 16 hour days
to make a dime an hour ~while
they sleep~, except
they only sleep 4-5 hours a night.
mircea_popescu: and
the model is readily expanded
to writing software,
too. by
the
time you've had enough of writing $x, you'll write a script
to write $x for you. AND NOT BEFORE.
mircea_popescu: the point is
to know ~with~ your knotes. you're not auditioning for laika over here.
mircea_popescu: and even
today, i know ~nothing "without checking my notes". nor do i want
to, wtf.
that's why
there's a log, after all, because of
this style.
mircea_popescu: then over
time it learns
to
trust you're not bullshiting it, either, and so i ended up learning all of physics magic numberds without ever
trying
to.
to
the despair of
the kids
that did.
mircea_popescu: the ~checking~ is
the only part
that needs your enforcement ;
the rest it does itself.
mircea_popescu: mind
that
there's no point in putting a bonus on "not checking notes".
that's why
they're notes,
to be checked. let memory adapt naturally and unconstrained -- when
the animal you inhabit has had enough of
the motor effort
to check up $X, it'll memorize it ; and before--- it checks.
☟︎ lobbes: this is how I've been approaching Deutsch lernen von Kant; I've been going
through word-by-word and physically writing down my own researched definitions of each word.
Then I'll re-read
trying
to reconstruct with my new definitions in hand until I encounter something new,
then repeat. Slow going (I can read a
total of 3 sentences now without checking my notes) but it has been working for me so far, daran ist gar kein Zweifel >>
http://btcbase.org mircea_popescu: by now getting kinda dim
tho. but
the 0000 sets, definitely worth doing.
mircea_popescu: there'd conceivably be onlty a coupla
thousand of
them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you realise what
this suggests :
try all primes of
the format xx(124 bits of 0)yy.
mircea_popescu: as it's fucking unlikely
two machines crashed
the particular way i describe.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the fact
that both 220.157.192.232 and 113.37.155.10 used ~different~ keys
that had
this as a factor kinda favour your
theory, "set bit on null-rnd, nextprime()".
mircea_popescu: "our prime generator consists of crashing
the program and using
the core dump"
douchebag: Also made friends with a couple of people I had no idea were even going,
they just happened
to mention
they were at
the same conference in chat so we met up
douchebag: I also got
to meet some internet friends
there - it was a great
time
douchebag: It is man! I definitely reccomend attending some of
the larger security conferences
douchebag: Yeah, I went
there with 2 people from class one was a female and she introduced me
to a bunch of her coworkers which were primarily female so we just got drunk and watched conference
talks
Mocky: i figured can't be worse
than programming java, and it was a cool feeling owning some web app, but didn't pan out
douchebag: I was at a 3 security conferences in
the past month, had a great
time
Mocky: i don't remenmber, some bigish security consultancy, do a lot of conference
talks, anyway almost interviews with
those lying bastards, after spending a month doing
their 'hack
the firmware' challenge and 'find all
the security holes in
this web site' challenge
Mocky: i
tried my hand at
that stuff a year ago, you heard of ncc group?
douchebag: I also found an open redirect, which
they patched. I was able
to bypass
their fix so I'm waiting on a reply from
that now
douchebag: Mocky: I chained CSRF with XSS -> Account
Takeover
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, while present, i'd say
these are marginal considerations here, mostly exploited for
their comedic potential.
douchebag: That's going
to really help for when I
travel Europe soon, had fun with it
too :^)
danielpbarron: there is a lot of similarity between atruechurch and
trilema -- fixation on what
the retards are
teaching other retards, hated for it, and every so often someone gets it and stops by
mircea_popescu: anyway, ~most~ of what's left of imperial cultural / intellectual life is exactly, "explaining bits and pieces of
the deceased culture of
the white man, for gorillas
that aren't white man but like
to feel like
they ~could be~, if
they ~really wanted
to~.
mircea_popescu: may i suggest one of your next posts, by
the
title "A summary of MacArthur & stuff, for
the use of MP, who doesn't give a shit about such
things" ?
Mocky: anyway after god died, i didn't bother keeping
the bible
Mocky: i
thought he was a good speaker at
the
time, i guess his shtick was explaining (his understanding of)
the scriptural hermeneutics
to people who don't care about such
things but want
to feel as if
they do
mircea_popescu: btw lobbes, let me ask you
this : when is a door not a door ?
☟︎ Mocky: yeah was a huge 'fan' of macarthur for years, had macarthur study bible i carried around, listened
to him on
the radio etc
Mocky: like, with
that macarthur guy, oh man
mircea_popescu: he was put on
the radar once his lordship danielpbarron decided
to move
to rural ok.
mircea_popescu: well adapted
to life in a democracy, sure, but
that's besides
the point. mentally vacuous as all get-out.
mircea_popescu: i'm not making any judgement about him ; but i am pointing out
the whatever
they're called,
the dudes he's fixated on, are very obviously
total
tards.
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally a pretty decent parlour
trick :
take a bonbon in one hand and nothing i nthe other, and present young child with
the choice -- but shake your head no as he goes for
the bonbon. you'll be surprised (really, in esl lands you'll be downright shocked) how much
trouble young kids have in escaping
this
trap.
mircea_popescu: because
this works, especially if you're a 40yo woman confronting a 5yo boy.
mircea_popescu: /2015/heres-what-they-dont-tell-you-when-they-bring-you-those-papers-to-sign/ sense of choice) : either he picks "someone", where someone is defined as ~one of
them~, some boeck or other, in which case, "here's an article by
the boeck ~you picked~ saying ~you're wrong" ; or else VERY BAD AND WE WILL ALL SHAKE OUR HEAD AND PRETEND LIKE YOU DID UNSPEAKABLE WRONGS
mircea_popescu: rather, you realise, david fish is not ~personally~ interesting
to whatever ocean
trawler neoprotestant californian "mega" church.
the strict item
that interests
them is
to reduce
the sovereignity issue. as far as
they're concerned
the most important property of
the universe is integration, a single center with everything in a star pattern. so he's supposed
to be confronted very much with a "choice" (in
the
http://trilema.com danielpbarron: and
the "you
think you're
the only one" is an especially weak point, seeing as how scripture indicates
there will be very few who
truely believe
danielpbarron: they can't fault us on matters of scripture, so
they find extra-Biblical points
mircea_popescu: be
that as it may ;
the question was, "are you aware why
they ask".
danielpbarron: we don't know of anyone else, which is not
to say
there aren't or haven't been any
