mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not everyone that gets invited to be taken for
a ride is invited to stay.
mircea_popescu: i've known even more folk who wouldn't deflower
a girl, myself included. etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand,
a major part of the appeal of prostitutes for many people is that they already have
a pimp. contrary to what polite society likes to believe, men don't generally want THAT much to do with women.
mircea_popescu: "This is
a post about applied luminosity in action: how I hacked myself to become polyamorous over (admittedly weak) natural monogamous inclinations. "
mircea_popescu: ok, let's try
a general statement. the trite rules of common sensical behaviour exist principally not because they're good or useful or productive ; but because they are banal, and in being banal are safe.
mircea_popescu: that's
a new one, i didn't know any other cause is even possibru. wha happened ?

a really good betting run, then you would pay them to make decisions for you regarding your own life"

a crackpottery called 'futarchy', where you have

gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: one step at
a time. I cut out all the "backends" and got the LoC count to 100,803 lines of CL.

a religion and government out of it

a pgp key, register it with deedbot, then build in functions to selfvoice
shinohai asked tb0t for
a cup of tea, only got hot water.
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has
a point you know, simply setting an index as "autoincrement" in your sql should supply this.

mircea_popescu: the notion one can distinguish
a supervised bot from
a slightly less supervised bot is wishful thinking ; no matter the effort expended.
mod6: So tb0t has
a test plan, and is entering the final testing phase. Will keep ya posted.
jurov: mircea_popescu: wtf is with mpex? it's like third time new order receives
a signed receipt from mpex, and then completely vanishes
mircea_popescu: romania does have
a happy tradition of ending up caught in conflicts between various idiots, i'd be much surprised if this changed.
mircea_popescu: nothing's nicer in this world than
a russian with his balls in vice.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, it's
a profession, he gets it properly instaslled.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform normally it's
a unit consisting of generator, inverter, batteries.
mircea_popescu: oh look at that, south african race relations are
a paragon for the entire world :D
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski if you own rather than rent, buying
a large unit is
a good home improvement move. for one thing, all electronics benefit from power filtering etc, tv sets, whatever has chips in it. for another thing, redundant power is great and brownouts
a thing everywhere. not the worst 5-10k you ever spent, can just sit in the basement and make your day for
a week each decade or w/e.

a 15min UPS for
a workstation ? the power in this building/town is going to the fucking pits, even if it is really goddam cheap.
jurov: but
a desktop usually won't eat 400W either, or are you mining? have 24" CRT?
BingoBoingo: That affects runtime in case all the oilsand burns in

☟︎ phf: they did
a lot of work to ensure that things just work, so you put
a couple of annotations in your lisp and can call those lisp functions from either android or ios. the two limitations is that you don't get an easy way to call from lisp back into native (at least that was the case when i tried it). the idea is that you write all your logic in lisp and use native exclusively as view. and second limitation is that built executable lacks compiler, s

a fork of one of kyoto common lisp derivatives, probably akcl. fwiw it's the same lineage as gcl and ecl, so ascii's "why not compile ecl" is entirely reasonable

mircea_popescu: that's the bitch now innit. that's at least what i was longfaced about earlier, "in practical eavesdropping you don't EVER care about message integrity. if your algebraic cyrptosystem is porous to someone saying "bring me all messages that discuss ALEODOR" or whatever, and then he can discern something about them - say that ALL possible forms of one use it in the negative - you're still as fucked as

a "in house algebraicist" considering his job, "what's the worst that can come up when the suits decide to solve X"
mircea_popescu: so we likely need to re-do the hardness measurements anyway, from
a crypto pov ; to use it in
a crypto pov.
mircea_popescu: though some material recently linked made
a very good point : "np complete" and other hardness discussions aren't even meaningful here. the term refers to WORST CASE, not to average case or anything.
mircea_popescu: yeah. but this is
a lot more expensive sort of cycling than you know, hashing.
