shinohai shrugs
PeterL: so I cam up with a different work-around, I will keep an eye on it
shinohai: thestringpuller isn't the idea here to use in-house solutions whenever possible, or am I mistaken?

Framedragger: evening. apologies for going awol, just busy (+ flu season). :/ wanted to link to this for the logs: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/961.pdf
mircea_popescu: o look it's a Framedragger
Framedragger: and here's an attempt at conversion to html from heathen pdf, for our dear mircea_popescu and others: http://fd.mkj.lt/stuff/snfs/
shinohai: For those that would rather view above in text: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/cnogz/?raw=true
Framedragger: o nice!
Framedragger: (granted, my html thing uses js to render close-to-original pdf, which is not really needed)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger aka, DSA is a joke ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yes, and no, not super duper original indeed, but nice to see something (closer to) empirical :)
Framedragger: (been trying to steal time from afk stuff to read on useful things so brain does not go dead. it's.. slow)
mircea_popescu: nothing quite like the republic to make life insufferable huh.
Framedragger: wait shouldn't it be the inverse of that??
mircea_popescu: should it ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ..unless you are implying that the republic stimulated results such as this, making life insufferable for nsa, idiots and the like
mircea_popescu: no, i'm implying that nobody in plato's cave knows how badly the cave sucks until someone comes in riding a pegassus
Framedragger: ah! nice image
mircea_popescu: any of you guys insalled denian ?
shinohai: loool
Framedragger: still with the fatass distro freeze project madness mircea_popescu ?

mircea_popescu: final tests with noobs etc.
Framedragger: must be increasing your firm beliefs in the values of the community further still, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: but repo.minigame.bz should work for ubuntu
Framedragger: oh! that might be useful for things outside eulora, too.
Framedragger: well, good wokr!
mircea_popescu: yes, for as long as it's "community of selected women".

mircea_popescu: i thought the libertards established that "online polls aren't scientific" given that they actually reflect the electoral reality rather than their preferred fiction.
mircea_popescu: "The growing interest in Ethereum has been one of the most significant blockchain technology developments of 2016."
mircea_popescu: ok that's good enough. such meta.
mircea_popescu: in other news, sex is fucking great.
trinque: isn't it though?
mircea_popescu: even after all these years.
shinohai: This is true, but requires further research. Will report back in when I return from Miami.
trinque reread the myth of consent just now, appropriately enough.
mircea_popescu: i thought you lived in miami
shinohai: Nope, I live near thestringpuller
trinque: struck me this time through how far "with-feeling" is from the commonly understood "definition"
mircea_popescu: what was that, georgia ?
shinohai: Yup, near Atlanta
mircea_popescu: pack some warm socks
mircea_popescu: florida is chilly this time of year.
mircea_popescu: comparatively speakinfg
trinque was born in the tampa area
trinque: what a shithole that's become
mircea_popescu: no more sorority sluts ?
mircea_popescu: used to be the ~capital of sororisluttery.
trinque: fat wigger descendents of bartenders and strippers
mircea_popescu: ah, ou sont l'90s d'antan.
mircea_popescu: trinque i just re-read it myself. great read.
trinque: brings to mind a conversation had with my lady friend, gist of which is that "modern angry feminist" in the states is nothing more than a (deeply resented) survival move, reacting to the complete lack of sane males in this country.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha this is epic
mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/eM0Qe << just hit mod queue.
trinque: reuter's recent headline after the weekend was something like "Failure to Implode"
trinque: uh uh he's failing to fail is all, look away!
mircea_popescu: In a recent interview, Obama’s 2008 opponent, John McCain marveled at his own challenges when trying to connect with African American voters. “I didn’t get a single vote in the whole inner city of Philadelphia,” the Arizona GOP senator told POLITICO. “I thought maybe they could find one.” << pretty lulzy.
mircea_popescu: Obama said. “So my suggestion would be go out there and try to win the election. If Mr. Trump is up 10 or 15 points on Election Day and ends up losing, then maybe he can raise some questions.” << even better. lol.
trinque: diebold unhappened eh?
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is backed by lulz and drama ; and the us election is apparently made of lulz, and drama.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he apparently killed it with that debate, got a 15% surge in support.
trinque: "I will put her in prison" could only be trumped by "I will flog her on national TV"
mircea_popescu: i dun think anyone really wants to see her old ass educated.
trinque oinks in agreement
mircea_popescu: "Clinton’s performance was less-than-stellar, which may be just a meaner way of saying it was good as we ever could have expected. She has this tendency to look very self-satisfied after delivering a zinger that’s clearly been crafted by someone else in Brooklyn and then tested on voters in a fish tank. It’s grating." << to put it charitably.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated but equally uninteresting news, the argentine natl bank introduced 500 peso notes, lifting the maximum bill from its ~6 dollar value to heights incomprehensible by the locals. (who think themselves rich and don't ever have 30 dollars in cash in their hands, like ever).
ben_vulpes: heh oh that's nice
ben_vulpes: the six dollar bills were hilaribad
mircea_popescu: there's larger denominations coming out. this is just a step in a wider plan to liquidate the country. for rather many years, the socialist government pumped pesos into the pockets of its clientele, a bunch of lice concentrated around the capital.
mircea_popescu: having absoluterly nothing to do with it, because they're literally lice, not people, they pumped up real estate values ; and "educated" their kids in the sense of giving them very us-like diplomas in cutting up cardboard.
mircea_popescu: (literally, this, and i've documented it. the "architecture" university consists of building cardboard boxes. the "social sciences" university consists of painting posters by hand. etc etc, all education here is paper and glue handicrafts like for mongoloids. which their kids ACTUALLY ARE, if i see another 20something girl walking hand in hand WITH HER FUCKING MOTHER im burning the place down. only country where it's social a
mircea_popescu: cceptable for teenage females to dress 11 and behave 7.)
ben_vulpes: well now i expect all of ba to burn tomorrow
mircea_popescu: to preserve the insanely inflated real estate values (really, 1k to 1.5k per square meter, ie 5x san francisco ; and the amenties are eastern europe in the 1990s level, their windows whistle in the wind, there's no gas heaters anywhere etc etc) they choked the money supply
ben_vulpes: you cover what, 30km/day?
ben_vulpes: no way you don't see the handholding tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: so the battle is pretty simple : a bunch of fucktarded "middle class" idiots in their own mind, concentrated in buenos aires, expecting their "real estate" to sell for 200k usd per dingy appartnment unfit for the ghetto ; and their educations to bring serious payola in govt jobs
mircea_popescu: who voted scioli and lost
mircea_popescu: versus a bunch of ambitious industrialists, stuck outside and who want to utterly ruin the other group.
mircea_popescu: macri is doing everything to help them. it'll be a bloodbath, and it'll be a bloodbath i'll enjoy.
mircea_popescu: ni una menos indeed. ni una menos without a cock in her mouth.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes for srs.
asciilifeform: plox to burn here next
asciilifeform: it is worse.
asciilifeform: well, my other here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform found a great icecream place to replace the other one. so yeah, it's great. for me.
mircea_popescu: it'll be hell for them, and i intend to piss gasoline on faces.
asciilifeform: dun burn it yet, i'd like to eat there when i fly the crate in
mircea_popescu: ima build a line of hookers chained to poles the whole length of avenida del libertador yet.
ben_vulpes: til mircea_popescu pisses gasoline
ben_vulpes: the man's metabolism never ceases to amaze
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes depends on the grade of tuica i imbibe.
ben_vulpes: that's ethanol, neh/
mircea_popescu: i can even piss kerosene.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: for rocket fueling depot
asciilifeform: fractional pisstillation
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> the man's metabolism never ceases to amaze << i lel'd.
mod6: and i continue to lel at the documented state of the "architecture" univeristy.
mircea_popescu: and the shitheads actually expect to get jobs.
mircea_popescu: you understand this ? EXPECT. TO GET. because that's how it fucking works now.
trinque finds the elliot pieces coming to him daily now
trinque: I AM HERE, AND THEREFORE PERFECT
mod6: haha
trinque: you see it goddamned everywhere
mircea_popescu: watching the "progressive" libertards denounce "unscientific online polls" and "russian hacked internet" is pretty fucking epic.
mircea_popescu: fancy that, the revolution will not be worldwidewebbed after all!
mod6: what was that .ar slogan again? cracks me up
mircea_popescu: which one ?
mod6: something about everyone having a better life or something
mircea_popescu: hay mas futuro ?
mod6: haha
mircea_popescu: it's hysterical ; they have absolutely no fucking future.
mod6: it was plastered on a bunch of signs down there.
mircea_popescu: functionally illiterate ; entirely innumerate. the chinese have to run the supermarkets because the locals lack basic business ability.
mircea_popescu: pretty much the peak of argentine technical know-how is operating call centers.
mircea_popescu: problem is a) they are too dumb to learn english, so they can only fight for the mexico and spanish markets
mod6: you're right though, this is coming to the US. i dare say, we're nearly there now!
mircea_popescu: and b) they expect euro like salaries for some incomprehensible reason.
trinque: fuck man, I was buying a belt today
trinque: you should've seen the things, two stitches on a folded piece of plastic^W"leather"
trinque: apparently nordstrom still has belts, for now
mircea_popescu: they got great leather belts here. and leather generally.
trinque: fucking sad; even the one I paid 120 for will probably fall apart next year
mod6: I bought some decent leather belts for my suits here, but prepare to pay top dollar for /actual/ craftmanship and leather.
mircea_popescu bought belt recently, told girl he wants to test it, girl bent over slightly and turned her generous posterior, /me whacked her one.
mircea_popescu: shop attendant nearly fell over
mod6: Otherwise, shitty qual.
mod6: lol
trinque: mircea_popescu: ahaha my thought was precisely "I'll break this!!"
mircea_popescu: very satisfying whack, perfect leather.
mircea_popescu: like texas used to make
mircea_popescu: back when their bulls weren't all mechanical yet.
mod6: I was thinking today that I should start a rope company. lol.
mircea_popescu: where to get the hemp ?
mod6: I think we're gonna need a lot of rope.
trinque: lol!
mod6: Hmm. Have to buy it maybe, or grow?!
mircea_popescu: needs some industrial process. growing's easy enough, shit's practically a marsh weed. but to get the fiber you gotta beat it.
asciilifeform: i still regret not buying the german gear in ba
mircea_popescu: bout 5x the mechanical work needed for cotton. which is how cotton won (in 1800. when work was expensive)
mod6: i told you, like three times to buy it dude.
mircea_popescu: lol so why didntcha
asciilifeform: miserliness
ben_vulpes: trinque: even spells nordstrom correctly!
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> bout 5x the mechanical work needed for cotton. which is how cotton won (in 1800. when work was expensive) << ah, hm.
ben_vulpes: boss status
mircea_popescu: can't be that, because you didn't go grab the gypsy girl by the cunt that invited you too, either.
asciilifeform: i'ma bring a few kilobux next go-around
mod6: i should have just bought them for ya asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: waitwhich
mircea_popescu: you gotta be more irresponsible man.
ben_vulpes: i missed this gypsy
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dun recall if you were there, took a walk in the ghetto, chicks heard us speak english.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: did you see davout's gypsies?
mircea_popescu: not sure ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it was only visible via mircea_popescu's magic eye
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: then no, they were visible even to asciilifeform
mod6: yah, there was that bazaar or whatever ben
asciilifeform: weren't those in timis?
mod6: i bout had a heart attack when i lost track of alf in the crowd.
ben_vulpes: mod6: that was no ghetto that was an up and down tourist trap
mod6: yah, i didn't think it was a ghetto, just sprang up out of nowhere lol.
asciilifeform very deeply fond of ba
mod6: mike & I were lookin everywhere for alf.
mircea_popescu: damn where's mike!
mod6: Was it Mike? Might hvae been davout.
mircea_popescu: GYPOS ATE MIKE
mod6: yeah, he's been mia for some time now.

mircea_popescu: no i know.
ben_vulpes: fermented corn syrup if you must
mircea_popescu: let it be stated i fucked in a dozen states all over the coast mkay ?
asciilifeform: mildly fermented
ben_vulpes: lightly
ben_vulpes: hey asciilifeform
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and drank the recycled piss?!
ben_vulpes: what's the difference between coors light and sex in a canoe?
mircea_popescu: had a taste.
mircea_popescu: but i dun generally drink beer
ben_vulpes: usg.quilmes
mircea_popescu: just about yeah
trinque: lol in costa rica I asked a guy what his favorite local beer was
ben_vulpes: less non-alcohol-or-water contaminants though
mircea_popescu: (quilmes is this very shitty local swill. made through the same process as us beer / sodas : hfcs water and "naturally identical" flavouring)
trinque: "oh oh, Imperial. It is like the local Budweiser!"
ben_vulpes: trinque: "imperial!"
trinque: so proud he was
trinque: SO PROUD
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: did you figure it out yet?
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> what's the difference between coors light and sex in a canoe? << lol fucking close to water
ben_vulpes: omg mod6 ruiner
mod6: haha
ben_vulpes: "not much, they're both fucking close to water"
asciilifeform: morarji-cola.
trinque: CR has a bit of that "no es un pais pobre"
mircea_popescu: o btw asciilifeform lolz of all time, i nearly fell down : chejov.
ben_vulpes: trinque: portland too if you recall
mircea_popescu: for srs.
mod6: the 2nd best part of Mr. P.'s riddle was the cognac. remember that place?
trinque: ben_vulpes: I mean PDX is at least stripclub-rich
trinque: I count that in favor
mircea_popescu: don't grab any counts nao.
ben_vulpes: trinque: all that really means is that there are a bunch of shitty strippers
mircea_popescu: airport stripper like airport sandwich ?
ben_vulpes: i have been touring random clubs when i take the corvette out for its weekly "please don't freeze up" runs
ben_vulpes: and ho damn it is bad out there.
ben_vulpes: pdx surprisingly does not actually have an in-facility strip club, much to my shame.
asciilifeform: oh btw ben_vulpes i ought to have answered yesterday: there is no good reason to unplug the probesnake
ben_vulpes: first thing i shall fix.
asciilifeform: leave it in.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes why not just sell it ?
asciilifeform: it replaces the power & reset toggles.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: much of my woes were to attempting to talk to the thing over /dev/tty.usbmodem123445671 instead of /dev/cu.usbmodem12345671
trinque: OS X actually calls it "cu" ?
trinque: such bsd
ben_vulpes: $bizpartner (/me waves) says there is all sorts of inane horseshit involved in how os x handles devices, with odd text files and os restarts in the loop
ben_vulpes: trinque: yeah
asciilifeform: both devices appear when you plug it in!?
asciilifeform: lulzily, i had nfi, never once attempted to plug the thing into mac
asciilifeform: even though i keep my supply of'em right next to the macs ...
ben_vulpes: you have a whole stack of sageprobes?
asciilifeform: what didja think.
ben_vulpes: 1:1 with gizmos? or you found an supplier of the probe alone
asciilifeform: the former
ben_vulpes: goodness
asciilifeform: but most of the 'gizmos' died.
ben_vulpes: interesting. how, typically?
asciilifeform: hard to say. just won't boot.
asciilifeform: but they were subjected to various abuses.
asciilifeform: (nailed to plank, carried between facilities, in cars, in rain, snow)
asciilifeform: various instruments plugged in, out, in ,out...
asciilifeform: fucked to death.
mircea_popescu: in other uninteresting nonsense, did that random whore with a non christian name get billionz off musk in divorce or how did it plkay out ?
ben_vulpes: tallulah?
mircea_popescu: yes. ty.
ben_vulpes: native american name
mircea_popescu: iirc she filed in march
ben_vulpes: > whose fitful relationship culminated in a first trip down the alter
ben_vulpes: god fuck, vanity fair is full of dipshits even now?
ben_vulpes: dude was there even anything of your childhood to rot?
ben_vulpes: institutions that at one point produced quality wares that as you aged -- stopped?
ben_vulpes: yes, 'doh' now.
mircea_popescu: vanity fair ?!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no more sorority sluts ? << Problem is the descendents
mircea_popescu: i never knew that side of it, i guess. anyway - yes.
trinque: ben_vulpes: for some reason, now in my head plays "hey mr carter, where have you been?"
ben_vulpes: "i heard you were looking for me"
trinque: I watched that wretched interview with the Y Combinator fuck. Elon looked positively submissive.
trinque: if there's a usg.antichrist it's him.
trinque forgets his name; it's quite forgettable
asciilifeform: nah that'd be thiel
ben_vulpes: aaaaltman?
trinque: that's the one
ben_vulpes: the one who didn't actually do anything but wrote enough about the circus that he got pulled in to play ringmaster?
trinque: aha
asciilifeform: pg's favourite catamite
ben_vulpes: trinque: jigga destroys that track
trinque: watching that (musk hunched over, nodding, laughing nervously) it was obvious he knew who signs his check
trinque: ben_vulpes: hell yeah
mircea_popescu: lol sam altman ? ahahaha. guy's more or less a whore, of no practical consequence.
ben_vulpes: "young carter/go farther/go further/go harder/is that not/why we came?/and if not/then why bother?"
trinque: mircea_popescu: yep, and rocketman was sweating, "uhm"-ing, and lowering his head
ben_vulpes: "the stuttering south african"
mircea_popescu: next you're gonna take buterin seriously or what.
trinque: taking elon un-seriously
mircea_popescu: that i can see.
mircea_popescu: ~none of the "leadersheeps" of the "free world" are very leadershippy.
asciilifeform off into the night city for a spell, bbl.
mircea_popescu: it's particularly funny when very old nobodies keep thanking each other for each other's leadersheep. as fucking if.
mircea_popescu: i mean for all his warts, trump was made possible by a fucking void.

mats: nate silver (of 'fivethirtyeight' fame) believes hrc has 79.9% chance of winning
trinque: how's he rate the outcome of the subsequent world war?
mircea_popescu: is this the guy who ran some sort of "AI" to make predictions and then decided to "turn it off" because something sounding a lot like yakowsky or w/e the harry potter fanfic writer's name is ?
mats: maybe
mircea_popescu: hm, it briefly blinked 83.5 to 16.4
mircea_popescu: so his theory is 48 to 44% in popular vote but 318 to 219 in electoral votes. should be funny to see how this plays out
mircea_popescu: "Our win probabilities come from simulating the election 20,000 times, which produces a distribution of possible outcomes for each state. Here are the expected margins of victory. The closer the dot is to the center line, the tighter the race." << ahahaha wtf is this, global warming science applied to politics ?
