ag3nt_zer0: can't even name a favorite track on that album - but a number of them are just incredible examples of his maturing skills and mastery of his niche... after listening to this album on repeat for the last two years I was totally shocked at the suicide news - made zero sense to me... it's a bit disconcerting to see those who helped inspire me to try to live a purposeful and meaningful life offing themselves
ag3nt_zer0: from: http://www.mathema.com/philosophy/metafisica/is-metaphysics-relevant-to-computer-science/
phf: besides applied cryptography comes with C examples and to presupposes all kinds of knowledge that you probably don't have. since you already ordered it, and was planning on going through it, do so, and that'll show you where you might need to go from there
phf: for example https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html is a classic book on the subject
ag3nt_zer0: anyone know of a good, or the good, metaphysics of computers or computation book?
ag3nt_zer0: hmmmm ok phf and asciilifeform thanks very much... I am thinking I don't even know what a computer is, philosophically... not grokking the fundamentals of LOGIC and physics - fish in water... what the hell IS a computer I guess I need to find out
asciilifeform: i suspect that the basic component ( the choice of curve ) is not actually ~understood~
phf: i make periodic attempts at it every once in a while, and every time i have to go further back in my mathematics education
phf: i've not actually read applied cryptography but if it has a section on public key cryptography it should demonstrate the "there can only be absolutely (1) corresponding private key to any given public key", but i guess in order to have certainty about the mechanism you should be reading books on number theory
ag3nt_zer0: ok thanks... hmmm since you just indicated that applied crypto predates and answer to this question might you have anything to recommend off the top of your head for reading that I might get a more sturdy conceptual footing here?
ag3nt_zer0: because mathematics is absolute? or this math is?
ag3nt_zer0: phf is this so because there can only be absolutely (1) corresponding private key to any given public key, no matter whether created on mars in the sand or in the computer on earth?
phf: (and until you do its nature as a wallet can be debated philosophically. i think majority of tmsr is platonists, so there exists an infinitive number of wallets to which you can spend whether or not anyone has possession of them. you can though discover a wallet through the process of key generation)
phf: presumably the answer is "you make it exist by spending to a public key"
asciilifeform: does the number 7 need 'access to network' in order to 'exist' ?!
ag3nt_zer0: I guess my lame-o speculation is that a keypair somehow needs to have access to the network to "exist"
phf: i think the question is "how is that i can generate a wallet offline/airgapped without telling anyone, but then it magically works on real network"
asciilifeform: what means 'has relevance in the actual online network' ??
ag3nt_zer0: perhaps its out of my current range of understanding, but might someone point me in the direction that I may grasp how the hell a keypair created on an airgapped computer has relevance in the actual online network...? Applied Cryptography (blue) is en route so perhaps that will help but in meantime thought I would ask here as no luck with searches - don't even know what terms would bring that up...

mircea_popescu: it is, actually, about twice as long as rome stood, their idle pretense to millenarity notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: to remind : venice stood for a millenium. this is longer than the "thousand years reich" national-socialism managed ; it is longer than any french "republic" ever succeeded ; longer than the entire existence of the us by a factor of about three, notwithstanding the us didn't start out as a socialist state.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the republic needs no such nonsense, as it prevails in the open air against the pantsuit decoctions.
mircea_popescu: the reason for the asymmetry is that socialism positively needs its unicity argument, as it has no others. without "ourdemocracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others [we're willing to consider, in a limited review intended to circularily "prove" the point]" there's no ourdemocracy.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important, overarching point above is that the situation is not symmetrical. yes, the continued existence of the republic is, in and of itself, some kind of victory against socialism ; but no, the continued existence of socialism is no kind of victory, for it, or against the republic.

mircea_popescu: in fact, there is, it was just born with story bifida.
mircea_popescu: so because the ro vampire idea was cleaved through the middle, separating the sexual and mystical portions into two different items it seems there's no indigenuous vampire myth.
mircea_popescu: through heart and other proceedings). these will then suck the mana (life force) out of crops/cattle.
mircea_popescu: for the record : it is incorrect romania had no indigenous vampire myth. the error is excusable due to the compelx circumstance : romania has TWO kinds of vampires. one is the flyer, a sort of strange beast that bothers young maidens (females only), giving them anemia and hot dreams. the other is a witch/ghost sort of item that comes out of children born with caput galeatum (caita in ro) which are improperly buried (no stake
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform virus does fine in "the hands" of enemy.
BingoBoingo: switch the default compiler on amd64 and i386 to clang,
asciilifeform throws craplet against the wall
asciilifeform: ftr, unlike albert speer and his 'ruins theory' - i dun participated care what happens 'after defeat'
asciilifeform: it dun exist. tool gotta be wielded. so to picture 'tools of tmsr' in the hands of maggots, presupposes defeat.
asciilifeform: ( but also carries inside a reminder of their betters, and thereby actively 'musts die' )
asciilifeform: this applies to niggers of all colours, piano they had nothing to do with the making of, is quite the same as a tree in the forest

mircea_popescu: "I'm a grad student who will be going to grad school to become an occupational therapist."
phf: i agree that packaging (and the attempted status implication) is distasteful. but electric engineering etc. associate wouldn't be much different. a handful of specialist classes of varied quality mixed with utterly useless "general education" stuff
phf: i thought that's when they learn how to make this sort of stuff by hand https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/bc/99/3a/bc993a14c5bfc84a3e7fdb40ec6ae37f--pastry-art-pastry-chef.jpg
mircea_popescu: bitch prolly knows "what the good brands are".
mircea_popescu: phf you realise, one could perhaps turn pastry making into a degree. BUT i guarantee that's not what they did.
mircea_popescu: at least in the sense that more obviously wrong.
mircea_popescu: in other shockers, " My name is Stephanie. I graduated college with an associates degree in baking and pastry arts."
mircea_popescu: also re the "maggots will find a way", the tmsr point is subtler than that : a) yes they will but b) let it be the intake manifold and c) make sure the machine corrupts them into humanity.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "kitchen appliance" really should be a standard body type.
phf: (this started because i couldn't find a printed version of julius evola's "ride the tiger" in russian translation. i found a pirated version, that i figured i can just print through lulu. i still haven't produced a pdf version that doesn't rely on the whole 6gb tex distribution)
phf: fwiw, i'm just tryin' ta get a way to publish an occasional document; i was under an impression that TeX is a no brainer, it's supposedly inherently tmsr friendly. apparently not, and not only that, the whole stack, since before i was even doing computing was already llvm-like. layers upon layers of "autotools"

palatine: i read a bit on the origins of the republic, i found striking similarities with our current situation
mircea_popescu: see, cause originally, when the venetics were little more than an orcish tribe, they wanted to matter in th world. so they went and stole st marcus remains from alexandria.

palatine: how was that you picked the Serenissima?
palatine: yes, but the meaning is subtle and missing too many words make it a mess
palatine: nope, i nicknamed it the "romanian wall"
mircea_popescu: can you read the romanian parts of trilema btw ?
mircea_popescu: so the confusion is born.

mircea_popescu: generally "to plan" is used as a view towards results. this utterly is not what planning is. planning is all about the construction of processes.
