mircea_popescu: yeah.
anyway, i'm thinking the best approach would actually be a kernel patch to destroy the extant random/urandom bs
and replace it with fg
mircea_popescu:
anyway, this is kinda what i was unknowingly reaching for, with the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803880 : more data to extract the understanding out of what looked like a promising vein. but in the meanwhile sleep reorganized observation for me
and now it's quite fucking plain.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but
anyway, i'm starting to understand a lot of things about why the maga can never be, consider the gritted, unyielding, sheer determination of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803769 ;
and i've noticed my us-born slavegirls CAN NOT QUIT. even when hopeless, even when wasteful, their specific identifiable mark in whatever harem social games is they're the ones that can not fucking say uncle.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway. at least here the 500 could be had for under 10k. which is VERY reasonable considering what "professional" solutions cost ;
and how their performance stacks up.
mircea_popescu: but in any possible read of this whole thing, it's ONE thing to say, "oh, you're new, here, register a key
and i'll rate you 1
and now you're in the wot
and all's well" amnd it's ANOTHER thing to say "well, someone negrated you but i think he's a moron
anyway"
mircea_popescu: spyked, apparently you have no comments ?
anyway, "the smiling girl i saw today bewitched my soul entirely ; another line goes in a diary that's read by me,
and Mr. Sorrowly."
☟︎ spyked was 'lil kid in the '90s
anyway, didn't casually start exploring bucharest shithole until early 2000s. sure, heard stories of the usual ex-doctor/university professor bum/taxi driver
and met a few weirdos, but otherwise neighbourhood consisted mostly of gypsies, while -- believe or not -- downtown filth was too varied to remember any specific face/case
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to get back to the 2nd fold of the error : the NOTION of translation is pernicious,
and stuff like the protestant lulz of "church of self-esteem" or "we choose to emphasize <bla>" are not unbound errors.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, the argument against translating is twofold,
and leaving the first obvious fold aside (hey, perfect translations may be impossible, but good translations do exist,
and that's the job of the exceptional person, wtf else -- anania did it in romanian,
and others did it before, it is not entirely impossible) : it introduces the NOTION of translation. i dunno if you're familiar with the meaning of that term, the original m
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, the intricate details of the history of the interaction between him
and that behemoth of inanity are literally worth the study. very clear cut teardrop diamond of issues surroundant male inheritance in pantsuitland.

anyway, ima wait for the man to come by
and set this straight.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the point here isn't that padded protocols infoleak in multiples of the paddiong., the point is that 0 is a special case invariant,
and yhou can never leak a multiple of 0 safely. because, again, a message of arbitrary length n can be presented as m messages of length k ; but 0 messages can never carry anything.
mircea_popescu: so it is not "empty" in the sense of "" ; it is empty in the sense of the payload being null, but the actual message is in fact a nonce
and some tags
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, anyone wrote a good post mortem for the self-replicating neural network ? i mean, hal 9000
and all that bs, iue fictional retellings. but the actual story ? no interest among the science-fiction set ?
mircea_popescu:
anyway, there's evidently a pile of very simple
and very useful questions to ask. "Why not send the time ?".

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, there's a lot for you to read wrt to why specifically segwit is a usg-driven attack against bitcoin,
and not supported by the bitcoin foundation. perhaps the recent
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-11#1795944 is a good starting point ; but generally the logs are your friends, search them.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 19:33 mircea_popescu:
anyway. in practice there's also nginx, which i doubt is any better ;
and i don't foresee our writing of a web server right nao.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, sure there may be one or two 16yo
http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ 's out there. but there's well over 100k dweebs worth over 1mn in paper. out of the money they waste on rent you can buy a farm in the transvaal
and enjoy free weekly gangbangs for the rest of your life.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it all revolves on whether they can steal the money back or not. if they can't, they're on their knees begging. with some limited negotiation ability can get to keep a third or so
and walk.
mircea_popescu:
anyway,
and she wanted to put me under!
and i was naw, go ahead. took some convincing,
and by the time she was halfway through she was sweating profusely
and had the shakes. "but doesn't it hurt ?!?!"
mircea_popescu:
anyway, no, the golden standard are the heroes series, heroes2/3. fallout maybe a little also, stuff like that. the old infinity engine stuff too, i guess, baldur's gate
and so on
mircea_popescu:
anyway, a sort of "pennsylvania magical realism" if you will, where "magazine subscription" selling outfit doesn't need a SOP for dealing with hookers, because they're not everyu other recruit ; nor are there any pimps to burn down your shit for turning tricks in their hick town ;
and you can safely go for attempted murder + gta in rural texas
and get away with it np.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, i'm done. sorry for the lengthy log spill, it evidently should have been an article but sadly it dribbled into my head in bits
and i never realised this.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the reason pogroms started happening sometime after 1100 or so
and then stopped happening sometime aroun 1900 or so has absolotely NOTHING to do with "antisemitism" or "hatred", circle of ~ or not whatever. zilch whatsoever at all.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792298 << what do these two have to do with each other
anyway. there should be a difference between doing wrong
and not doing enough. not every burgher can be in the town council, that dun mean he's bankrupt now or something, what the hell.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: myeah. the only problem is that i suspect the unix notion of filenames (if ~properly~ regarded, ie, full paths) is actually entirely correct,
and how gns will have to work
anyway.
mircea_popescu: the notion there exists a fiatola bitcoin price was due for a trashing
anyway ; part
and parcel of a collection of quaint nonsense like the flat earth on turtles
and the predictive power of phrenology.
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, in between "here's what the french atlantic said about german cars, bmw is worst ever"
and retweets of "Having kids to give life meaning creates more lives that need meaning. Basically it’s a Ponzi scheme." he did entertain me for a few minutes, so not all is lost.

and then managed to convince the midwest that what california people think is hip is bostonolade ; then took those numbers
and showed california that "what america wants to see!!" is bostonolade.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the seemingly correct solution is for convention to be changed, so that 1. genesis author creates a comments.txt file or else it's not a proper genesis ; 2. all subsequent patches MUST include an edit to the comments.txt file of the codebase they are pressed upon, which 3. must consist of adding one line at the end consisting of whatever text the patch author deems useful to add
and may not be null
and 4. should ideal
mircea_popescu:
anyway. classification is the first
and remains the foremost job of the scholar ; the cornersone of all understanding. its tools are the paramount tools of knowledge.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, let's restate : "since you're stuck with a c library
anyway as long as you're on c-machine, at the very least to do init
and end ;
and since musl is not that terrible
and only links what you use
anyway ; just use it
and be done with the headache -- the alternative is bloating ada with nonsense"
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the pile of ad-hoc name systems in legacy unix is starting to get on my heads. PATH, really ? amnd then "use mkdtemp"
and fucking hell already
mircea_popescu:
anyway, whole issue seems to be that mktemp could "guess" a file that's about to be created by root
and wipe it.

anyway, what we have here is a tacit miss-standard,
and the discussion is probably of most interest to people who aim to make their own blog thing, phf spyked whoever was looking at lisping it. because on one hand there's the older trilema standard that's web compatible,
and on the other hand there's the emerging no shits given approach like on the deedbot site say, "what am i going to do now, alter deeds to mitigate sht brow
diana_coman: trinque, sounds good;
and I'm certainly interested in a recipe for transitioning a classical gentoo as well since I can quite see I'll need it

and too fast. bear in mind that the best steel cracks under shock
and that you yourseld didn't have a pgp key before you made it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quite.
anyway, to summarize : some idiot (from argentina --
and you should have seen his overwhelmed, $10 an hour cafeteria worker expression when the herd of pubescent latinas pinned him against the wall)
and some other idiot (luis whatever, the director) COPIED THE STRING "bram stoker's dracula" from a coppola production, unaware of either coppola or stoker, or even the MEANING of the ' possesive convention.
mircea_popescu: where were you while these doods were turning their life around, flying to uruguay
and etcetera
anyway ?
lobbes: so my current side-quest is to get ave1's mp-wp pressed
and working (I have php 5.6 on my test machine so this should come in handy). lobbesblog right now is all 'manual html' with 'manual comments' a la dpb's, so I'ma need a more automated comments/publishing mechanism
anyway. This oughta kill two birds with one stone, with added benefit that I can publish a n00b guide with notes on journey.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, getting back to the point of bill gates / whatever pantsuit commentators on the fringes of the republic
and old man jamemary of jamemary114@gmail.com / whatever nigger commentators ~ALSO!!!!~ very much exactly
and entirely identically in each
and every way also! on the fringes of the republic : there's really no difference.

and w3m
and lynx/links seem to lack it altogether. now, scrolling they don't lack, but the js bit still doesn't implement window.scroll.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, to get back to the land of designs for a second : the original idea for tmsr isp was that it'd also function as a holder of valuable (ie, "no longer produced") iron.
and it'd carry it on its books, giving it a whole other kind of value.
mircea_popescu:
anyway ; there's a lot of business experience in disparate fields that has to be handled,
and often the handling drives unexpected results
and so on. part
and parcel of the problem is that bitcoin ain't consumer finance
and few people have any notion of anything else in that whole wide field.
hanbot: uld've extended to asciilifeform as well, but after a week + of stubborn refusal to admit wrongdoing or show any signs of work towards avoiding said wrongdoing in the future, i'd be acting ---very irresponsibly--- if i let my admiration of the man

mircea_popescu:
anyway. as he points out, not really much skin off my back either way. but consider that on one hand you're not exactly private investors there, seeing how fwiu you've involved the foundation's capital actually ? so you're stuck to some measure of public dealing an' tranparency as'd befit such a lofty entity in its first actual commitment ?
and on the other hand, bbisp kinda depends on good public perception.
mircea_popescu:
and seeing how you're the fellow who asks me how many items do i want to fit in ben_vulpes 's one item slot, i have serious doubts about your cogency
anyway.
diana_coman: going with 1.1, 2.1
and 3.2 also takes out entirely from keccak the bit-to-value

spyked: yes, very! funny enough, one of the people who worked on that (while a student himself) became my PhD advisor. he recently showed me a contraption that ran Basic, CP/M *
