asciilifeform: l0l, and food - from same neighbour's dumpster ?
asciilifeform: (important component)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lulzy re 'quantum computer miner drained mtgox'
asciilifeform: it is quite impossible imho not to think of this.
asciilifeform: normally we mention the christians as a socialist rot, but there was also the component of caste / 'dielectric insulator'
asciilifeform: 'best known fact re empires is that they pop
asciilifeform: (partly on account of their complicated 'isolate these folks from all reality', partly because they did not simultaneously pursue artillery...)
asciilifeform: jp shinto temples apparently had peculiar quasimathematical ritual
asciilifeform: can pick different example, also interesting:
asciilifeform: all of the components of everything we're now doing, from the basic maths to the semiconductor, are product of what mircea_popescu derides as 'palace wankery'
asciilifeform: same re the inca, simply the iron age 'began' late for them, had to sail across the pond.
asciilifeform: looking at the religions of the past (the selfsame inca empire, my recent kick) i've come to suspect that the overall 'belief load' typical human can carry is roughly constant
asciilifeform: if usg were bleeding turkey dollars, the successive iterations of altpump would lose vigour.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, usg is pumping air back into eth ?
asciilifeform: which is to say, the tokamak folks are about as interested in desktop, $1000 fusion (of ~whatever temperatures~) as the maths dept at your uni is interested in elementary proof of fermat, or the software 'industry' - in 'fits in head', etc.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'weeds must spread' apparently encompasses every possible thing: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fusion_woo
asciilifeform: but he printed andreas because 1,000,001 chumps were ready to buy, not because prb necessarily.
asciilifeform: 'Sherpany is the first independent platform that facilitates close, personal and tangible communication between companies, boards of directors and investors. Modern companies can solidify the loyalty of investors, focus on their work in the board of directors and increase corporate governance with Sherpany.' << wat.
asciilifeform: can even go in parallel with the current sks pump.
asciilifeform: (then again it is quite possible that all of 'his' money is denominated in buffettola, and he's entirely compliant, i have nfi)
asciilifeform: trump is no moar electable than perot was, and for same reason - will try to push the buttons that aren't connected to anything, and get belligerent, and has the resources to attempt to do something about it
asciilifeform: 'I'd like to ask specifically about Fare's criticism of large jets. Since it's highly unlikely that the Hoon implementation is bug-for-bug compatible with the native markdown parser, is including that parser in a jet an "unprincipled exception" to Urbit's vision of deterministic functional purity? An even better example is the possible future inclusion of a native JS or Lua interpreter... V8 in particular is a massive project that ro
asciilifeform: 'For example, I would love to offer my own children a filtered Internet experience where I owned and controlled the filter. Ideally, that would mean an MITM proxy running on my own cloud server. I would not trust anyone else to MITM me or my children, but I feel quite comfortable MITMing my 8-year-old daughter. So that's another long-term use case.' << also mr mold
asciilifeform: 'Urbit has a very good profiler (language integration makes up for a lot of elbow grease), and our attempts to squeeze out performance are usually successful. In extremis, anything can be jetted and probably will.' << yarvin
asciilifeform: (laziness in resource-impoverished environment is adaptive. i could've sworn we did a thread re this...)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: alludes to a largely undocumented insurance chumpatron of unknown size, hence link.
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: in fact, this is recommended practice, say something in in the username string re 'this key generated by ... for ...' or the like.
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: this is in the works. (it will take a while, because it makes the thing roughly 2x more complicated)
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: contact jurov, he has a tool for this
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: where did your moduli come from ?
asciilifeform: i dun get it. chumps bought in, usg (via shill exchanges) collected usd, btc, in return for shitcoin. that is now worth 0. what does usg lose ?
asciilifeform: literally a bladder in which to temporarily store printolade while it cools down ?
asciilifeform: for instance, i know a fella who moved to a - perfectly tame little town in west virginia, and thought he was getting great deal, but it turned out that it is physically impossible to get decent net connection there (at least without paying for streets to be dug up, six figures)
asciilifeform: 'brought to an immediate halt the country's European Union referendum campaign just a week before the vote.' << that was apparently easy.
asciilifeform: incidentally i devised a way to make the thing grow ~100x faster, but still not implemented.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: does it not make sense to you that having two classes of object, whereas previously there was no need to distinguish classes, is at least 2x complexity ?
asciilifeform: thing is, pgp key includes more info than simply 'modulus, email'
asciilifeform: it will go ~slightly~ faster if i dump'em in, in bulk, but understand - i do not have the time presently to write any serious adjunct to phuctor
asciilifeform: they are stored as-found. so they can be shat back out and compared to extant key elsewhere etc.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i have his complete worx here.
asciilifeform: for umpteenth time..
asciilifeform: ^ for compleeetness.
asciilifeform: marginal value but inflating their already bloated sense of self-importance. In response to one of these posts, the individual’s active duty Air Force chain of command, based at Wright-Patterson, placed him under investigation, barred him from his workplace, and ordered him to cease commenting on JQP.'
asciilifeform: somehow this did not damper the recruitment of new ones, every year, to shoot the crowd in new cities
asciilifeform: 'McAfee was appointed as chairman and CEO of MGT Capital in May, causing a brief 1,000% surge in the publicly traded company’s stocks. Formerly a fantasy sports enterprise, the firm is in the process of being rebranded as John McAfee Global Technologies, Inc following McAfee's addition to the team.' << wat.
asciilifeform: 'Cybersecurity expert, libertarian presidential candidate, and founder of McAfee antivirus, John McAfee is taking over as CEO at publicly-traded MGT Capital Investments, Inc., (NYSE MKT: MGT). Fresh at the helm, McAfee is already charting a new course for the company, focusing on how to secure cryptocurrencies. The company previously invested in and developed a wide array of intellectual property.'
asciilifeform: imperial subjects will drink imperial crapolade.
asciilifeform: complete with 'really this is it' and 'real time human censor'
asciilifeform: not complete, either.
asciilifeform: usg is at this very moment attempting a cleave of 'socialism fails'
asciilifeform: normally a quick stomp suffices, i haven't the patience or time to pull the wings off.
asciilifeform: did we ever do a 'postel's law not only considered harmful but a disaster of epic proportions, quite comparable to leaded petrol' thread ?
asciilifeform: and 'the implementation was the spec', at least for a long while.
asciilifeform: it simply wasn't in my example.
asciilifeform: at any rate, spec is a weak animal when it relies on promise, rather than protocol. ideally you want a simple litmus test for conformance that insta-zaps deviants
asciilifeform: all specs are maximally prescriptive. in that implication is 'if you don't do x, you are not conformant and we throw you out and buy a new you'
asciilifeform: it is sufficiently detailed and unambiguous that unrelated groups can and have implemented fully compatible compilers.
asciilifeform: have an example of correctly made spec: the ada ref+rationale.
asciilifeform: spec ain't magic. and much of what you see passing for spec is a deliberate attempt to paper over broken ~concepts~ with verbiage.
asciilifeform: if it actually works, it never needs reimplementing.
asciilifeform: trinque: you evaluate it using SAME algo as you use for 'did asciilifeform write his patches or were they given to him by a colonel at ftmeade to pass to chumps'
asciilifeform: imports by referencing the hash.
asciilifeform: imports, not MORONICALLY cut and pastes.
asciilifeform: nothing about 'let's cp this 1,000,001 times because mircea_popescu took away #include' compels intelligent rereading.
asciilifeform: (i compulsively re-read own shit)
asciilifeform: i will give example
asciilifeform: thing is, operator doesn't specifically start from anything. he specifies a press head (if that. in one variant contemplated earlier by mircea_popescu, one does not even specify press head, but instead walk longest chain having sigs S1...Sn)
asciilifeform: this idea only ever could become actually important as time marches on and things are lost.
asciilifeform: 'light cone' is simply ALL vpatches, by ANYONE, that you know about.
asciilifeform: (simply add comment in the part1 items as part of part2 patch)
asciilifeform: a genesis is simply a vpatch with no antecedents.
asciilifeform: 'Gov. Rick Scott of Florida said on Monday that he had asked Mr. Obama to issue a federal emergency declaration for his state. “Yesterday’s terror attack was an attack on our state and entire nation,” Mr. Scott said in a statement. “This morning, I have asked President Obama to declare an emergency so that the full resources of the federal government can be made available for all those impacted by this horrific massacre.” I
asciilifeform: should be able to simply... use.
asciilifeform: wtf would you impact driver wood or plastic.
asciilifeform: 'Accordingly, the Roosevelt administration, while curtly dismissing Japanese diplomatic overtures to harmonize relations, imposed a series of increasingly stringent economic sanctions on Japan. In 1939 the United States terminated the 1911 commercial treaty with Japan. “On July 2, 1940, Roosevelt signed the Export Control Act, authorizing the President to license or prohibit the export of essential defense materials.” Under this
asciilifeform: or did mircea_popescu previously think that it had been a defrocked accountant imprisoned for 40 unpad parking tickets.
asciilifeform: recall, the shitgnomatic unified front against phuctor was exemplified by peter 'this ain't my key and go back to sleep' h anvin.
asciilifeform: hannobockism took the very effective angle of 'nobody used the keyz' but really to keep chumps' attention on what it means to 'use' a key
asciilifeform: actually instructive example, it is worth elaborating on:
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i understand it perfectly. but the baroque marlinspiked version is satanic and deliberately overcomplicated.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 'It has been well established that OOM error occurs from bastards not being freed from memory.' << not accurate. bastard tx don't enter the mempool in trb. it is mempool tx that never deallocate...
asciilifeform: apparently, there is nothing more attractive than ~empty~ swimming pool, if you ask american jurists.
asciilifeform: 'A local apartment com-munity had become a problem with unsecured vacant units, garbage, graffiti, attractive nuisances, and blight. The owner also routinely rented condemned units that had no power (cord was run from other units). Neighboring owners complained of rodents coming from the unattended landscaping and units. Squatters were found in units by the police department. Owner was cited...'
asciilifeform was unable - in spite of considerable effort - to run 'hello world' example in 'rails'.
asciilifeform: 'company D' does not exist. no sane investor knowingly funds a 'company A'; no sane engineer knowingly works for a 'company B'; nobody sane at all is interested in involving himself in a 'company C'/
asciilifeform: 'Suppose you have a company that sets out to make a widget. Let's call it Company A. Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and the widget they design and manufacture is of tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality.... When consumers refuse to pay so much more than they feel they have to, Company A's widget fails in the marketplace, and the company is liquidated.'
asciilifeform: have, in fact, invented a means of 'putting out' fire that simply moves it, 10x amplified, to another spot.
asciilifeform: davout: not simply this, but that these particular firemen do very little ASIDE FROM setting fires.
asciilifeform: let's work example,
asciilifeform: aha, c existed before there 'had to be' employment for 50 million idiots.
asciilifeform: '@zenspider Mocking me? Honestly?!? And the "it works on my machine" response? I really appreciate the work people put into sharing their software with others, but you need to learn to treat people with respect who are trying to help improve your product. I need this for a new system I have inheirited. The first thing I am going to do is get rid of the dependency on your project.'
asciilifeform: (it is possible to use amp with higher slew rate and get moar bitz. but i deliberately used conservative design, with common parts)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the use case contemplated, there ARE no problems.
asciilifeform: wot, incidentally, and contrary to popular belief - doesn't!! could, in principle, use lamport signatures.
asciilifeform: the usg circus tricks weren't cheap, and were very clearly carried out with the assumption that no one would ever discover working crypto.
asciilifeform: version of the license and then a classified addendum to the agreement. The company who seek the license will be assigned a classified compartments code name that will be "Top Secret/ESI" with the ESI standing for "Extremely Sensitive Information" as disclosure could directly lead to economic devastation to the company, and their involvement must be kept secret.'
asciilifeform: 'When any U.S. telecommunications company wishes to install a physical fiber optic connection, and that connection cross into or out of the national borders of the United States, the company which terminates the fiber, in what is called a "landing" is required under federal law to obtain an "International Landing" license, and this is done via the Federal Communications Commission, and there is ALWAYS, repeat ALWAYS, an unclassified
asciilifeform: at one point they were 'anonymous' but then merchants were usgized into collecting names, addressed; today they are largely used by lumpens who can't get normal phone (as it requires credit history)
asciilifeform: the most comical situation was of course in usgland. i was working at an army base, and there were the most titanically impressive generators i've ever seen, each easily the size of a train car, diesel cisterns two stories high, etc. BUT we still lost power in the lab. because somehow it wasn't connected to it.
asciilifeform: and for that petrol is quite irrelevant, you want doubleconverting ups with ample spare capacity and fresh battery.
asciilifeform: anyway petrol generator is 'sexy', vrooom, vroom, but actual practice is that brown-outs, spikes, <30sec blackouts, are the real itch re computer user.
asciilifeform: (my rack-mount thing also, in fact, stands on floor. in one of those '90s-era 'full tower pedestals' with the ratcheting clamp)
asciilifeform: say next year it will write not only timestamp but exe hash to log.
asciilifeform: empire is made of cocksucking satrapies who wouldn't point-encrypt if martians gave them the gear for free.
asciilifeform: 'Around 800 backbone fiber connections in the continental US (95+% of the backbone) have been tapped for data collection. Some of the telcos are aware of this, but are silently cooperating by not implementing point-to-point bulk traffic encryption. There is an extensive ghost network that connects these nodes, enabling traffic analysis and tracing in near-real time. As of recently, the passive taps are being converted to active filte
asciilifeform: one very simple solution is to recruit new nodes faster than whoever can ruin them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fine, make it six people. how do you find the traitor (or simple incompetent who let his nodes get hijacked by third party)
asciilifeform: as example of what NOT to do.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu just wants an ordinary chumpnet that is a different and far more practical convo.
asciilifeform: you rent out yer chumpnet, and some bozo installs, e.g., 'cryptolocker', on all the nodes.
asciilifeform: it is ~precisely~ the 'rent out the space inside your nose!' contemplated in one of mircea_popescu's articles.
asciilifeform has been contemplating this very subj for many, many years.
asciilifeform: the only reason it does not happen more often with garden-variety botnets is that competent folk are few and far between and no one in particular is a sufficiently-appealing target.
asciilifeform: is that a reasonably competent griefer can rent the chumpnet and ~clean it~
asciilifeform: it is certainly impossible to reliably distinguish node from pseudonode, for instance.
asciilifeform: it is in principle quite impossible to verify that the thing you wanted computed, was computed, unless it is very tangible input/output pair like mersenne primes or whatnot.
asciilifeform: but more importantly, the software stack that gives you anything like smooth migration between rapidly born and dying machines, is NOT THERE
asciilifeform: choice lulz, '...The other incident raises more serious concerns regarding Tor Project’s obligation to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment, especially as regards an environment that is unwelcoming or hostile to protected classes of community members. In this case, you made statements that implied that new community members were recruited in a sexually charged manner. This was made during the course of a Tor Project-sanct
asciilifeform: what is interesting is that - as far as i can tell - no one has ever published example of finite field system from such.
asciilifeform: i discovered that mainstream finite field libs are as complicated as they are largely because they insist on growable - and, ergo, heap-allocated - nums.
asciilifeform: they will keep a man's weight's worth of empty coffee cups and other filth in there.
asciilifeform: the 'sex is the devil's temptation' idiots have easy pickings in that climate.
asciilifeform: this is on account of the well-known sequelae being largely effects of impurities, and secondarily - of lack of sleep, vs meth per se.
asciilifeform: i'm still quite unconvinced that empire is better off selling, e.g., the usual vodka, in shops, than meth.
asciilifeform: the sovietization, in the most comical sense of the word, is nearly total, complete with hruschev's corn.
asciilifeform: 'rural shithole' is simply shithole that is dark from the satellite camera.
asciilifeform: '...there are many, many people whose stock in trade is their use of violence, in offense or defense. No matter what else happens, they will be employed, or self-employed... In Russia, there was a period of years during which the police was basically not functioning: they had no equipment, no budget, and their salaries were not sufficient for survival. Murders went unsolved, muggings and burglaries were not even investigated. The pol
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were awake, he would probably describe the process as 'what the fuck is so surprising, gas let into an empty container will fill it' or similar. nobody is blowing up the police stations in response, so there is no back-pressure and usg can do whatever.
asciilifeform: the peculiar, imho, thing, is that somehow tradition requires american police to actually charge folks who are taken to a police station. and so it is now important to rob them ~without~ arresting.
asciilifeform: automated account emptiers. lulzy.
asciilifeform: and iirc many (most?) lottery winners go broke precisely from inept attempts to attach wings and engine to their rock.
asciilifeform: but this is not entirely applicable to btc planet - unlike fiatola, it does not evaporate at room temperature
asciilifeform: iciently many layers of isolation between him and the chumps.'
asciilifeform: ftr, what i said re voorhees's dice in feb. '13: 'Satoshi Dice is a can of worms which almost deserves its own discussion. It is, at its core, a simple “numbers game.” That is to say, an industrial-strength harvester of chump money, precisely the kind of thing which Popescu expresses his disdain for at every opportunity. But listing its stock on MPEx does not bother him, because there are suff
asciilifeform: so - complicated.
asciilifeform: or is it simply that 'civilized society' is so loathesome that ANY alternative is welcome.
asciilifeform: 'i will be a chump but if i play cards right, i will have sub-chumps...' ??
asciilifeform: a setup like scientology has no particular need to be 'ecologically clean', can work the chumps to exhaustion
asciilifeform: ... or simply too orcish to mechanize collection ?
asciilifeform: if you think about it, she pretty much has to charge x < ($usual_earth_fee + $cost_of_flight), or gurlz who aren't working as stewardesses could compete
asciilifeform: hitler can as easily emplace confession.gif there as on shitgur.
asciilifeform: btw i can hardly wait for 'compiler is kyriarchy, all strings are equally valid program'
asciilifeform: even if it were 'want to sit in hammock and sip vodka' the sentence would compile ok
asciilifeform: 'There are strong indications that the website was created by Tor Project contractors and/or employees. Today, the website says "Before launch, we had placeholder text for the initial site design which we did not expect to become public. We never meant to impersonate Jake or to trick anyone." but the original tweet button (which many people clicked) produced a tweet saying "I just read on @ioerror's homepage ..." which shows this to
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-08#1478598 << maaaaany years ago i chanced across the blog of a young (university student) math chick, who appeared to GENUINELY believe that she can become 'great' by cultivating the nervous ticks, compulsions, and miscellaneous dysfunctions paul erdos was infamous for !
asciilifeform: in other lulz, the various gold chumpatrons must really be hard up for chumpz
asciilifeform: but the 'bitcoin == scam' isn't even wholly unreasonable for aboriginal whose entire experience of 'electronic money' has been chumpatronic
asciilifeform: but i suspect that ~all american 'nonprofits' operate some variant of this chumpatron.
asciilifeform: 'You know how mentally limited people who agree to work for vague international companies doing the "clerical work" of cashing checks end up with a visit from the police ? ' ( http://trilema.com/2015/thattommyhall-that-kickstarter-scamsite-this-internet-life/#selection-125.2-125.173 )
asciilifeform: incidentally -$8k of cc doesn't conclusively prove this scheme, it is common for us corp to pump purchases through a cc for bureaucratic reasons
asciilifeform: incidentally in usa if someone is employed as 'contractor' there is no payroll tax reflected in corp statement.
asciilifeform: sounds like they employ 2-3 people.
asciilifeform: had links to something claiming to be detailed audit dumps but i can't be arsed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is probably still thinking of yudkowsky as a rich man, even if in the lottery sense. but he is actually, in effect, an employee - simply a very highly-compensated one
asciilifeform: who wrecked their empire.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also missed this when it happened, but it imploded.
asciilifeform: but i actually have nfi if that particular chumpatron is still rollin'. all i ever knew of it was from the mr mold film linked earlier.
asciilifeform: hello fromphuctor !
asciilifeform: $up fromphuctor
asciilifeform: naturally. lamps.
asciilifeform: esp in a climate with <0 temps
asciilifeform: one simple example that i played with in the winter is 'graph clique problem'
asciilifeform: which is why there are entire encyclopaedias of np-complete problems, but none of them have been used in a working cryptosystem
asciilifeform: particular case can be as simple as you like.
asciilifeform: i still can't fully swallow how there is this entire field that isn't certain whether it exists or is simply smelling own farts.
asciilifeform: but it'll have to be a) something you can actually do repeatably on a digital computer + b) based on some reasonably compact hardness assumption
asciilifeform: 'What the 66-year-old Massachusetts man didn't know then is that he would spend the next 6 ½ years embroiled in a complicated and confusing legal dispute in Indiana over that printer, which, according to its buyer, was broken. He would find himself liable for about $30,000 in damages. He would pay a lawyer at least $12,000 in his battle to escape the legal mess. And it all started with a piece of hardware he sold online for about $4
asciilifeform: one obvious possibility is that he had second thoughts re pushing the tor chumpatron.
asciilifeform: in more interesting nyooz, the tel aviv tempest folks are at it again, http://m.cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/6/202646-physical-key-extraction-attacks-on-pcs/fulltext
asciilifeform: 'Central to Mead's rescue project are a series of discoveries inconsistent with the prevailing conceptions of quantum mechanics. One was the laser. As late as 1956, Bohr and Von Neumann, the paragons of quantum theory, arrived at the Columbia laboratories of Charles Townes, who was in the process of describing his invention. With the transistor, the laser is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century. Designed into
asciilifeform not mega-expert on dopes but is aware that certain types bring about excitability and amplify existing inclinations; others - torpor, lethargy, and a sort of living death
asciilifeform: they gave distinct impression of labouring under a notion that 'our thing will be different because we can keep the Bad People out by being Modest'
asciilifeform: that ~reasonable~ behaviour requires unreasonable degree of complexity.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my contention is not that it is impossible to write proggy that behaves sanely under unix when catches SIGABRT or whatnot, but that the effort required to do so and the verbosity of the resulting code is beyond most folk.
asciilifeform: see again the mempool example.
asciilifeform: the basic plague of c machine is that forces computation into semantic soup.
asciilifeform: do you recall my attempt at forcing trb to flush its mempool?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is a winner. the euro fictions ~don't~ really compile in cn.
asciilifeform: mutant simply registered as 'yet another key for this name'.
asciilifeform: this example makes 0 sense tho. if i know that martians will devour me in 1 week, i sure as fuck wouldn't work
asciilifeform: but vouched conditionally, had to jump through the burning ring
asciilifeform: once upon a time, mircea_popescu met a cabbie and gave him a broomstick. but original legend did not tell us that he also gave him a 1941 nagan, complete with 'tula' and red star, loaded with 1 round, and the learned man said to the cabbie, 'when you get bored of sitting on the broomstick, here - you can stop'
asciilifeform: 'proof of work' did not prevent snow jobs (consider steven j gould's snow job targeted at 'bell curve', say, or 1,001 other examples)
asciilifeform: detail re books is that at one point there was a certain 'proof of work' implicit in getting the thing on the market.
asciilifeform: possibly not world's best, but is the one willing to tell me about the emperor's bow etc.
asciilifeform: mr mold was a hilarious source of trivia re 100 yrs of usg rot. e.g., how kgb owned state dept., how prestige farming works in detail, etc. none of it original to him, he simply dug up the primary sources, best as he could. hence his nick.
asciilifeform: red to be a conflict of interest with her official NSA duties.) The email, with the subject line, "Vanity Fair Article With Fugitive – May Cause Additional Work," said "the much anticipated Vanity Fair article with the fugitive is out.... Probably the most concerning issue in the article is the fugitives [sic] assertion that he raised complaints with NSA lawyers and oversight and compliance personnel."'
asciilifeform: Framedragger: read the logz, gpg and compatibles are retarded in 101 ways
asciilifeform: this was... what ? walletron ? why would it print 'dumping coins' to stdout ?
asciilifeform: this'd be like attempting riff on pushkin in engl.
asciilifeform at one point was pathologically well informed on jp secondhand, but is emphatically NOT a veteran thereof nor set foot there, and will not comment further

asciilifeform: interestingly, not 1 of the last 3 phuctor pops, imports in any version of gpg i have.
asciilifeform: it is a great multilayered gag - what is even there to solder on component-side of pc mobo.
asciilifeform: i always liked this example
asciilifeform: the only folks who will read are the idiot grade-school educated 'physicists' who contemplate 'chemtrails'.
asciilifeform: 'having 3 computers is worse than none'
asciilifeform: logic being that icbm was not a pure 'let's build pyramid to show how massive the imperial cock' exercise. it had measurable goals, like building bridge.
asciilifeform: the item in question is 'benevolent inca empire wants to give $billion to physics' but you can't give 'to physics' because that's somewhere between 0 to 3 guys and nobody's gonna give some unwashed weirdos a $b
asciilifeform: massive employment program for adelbergers and their catamites.
asciilifeform: it is flagship example of physics's rotting corpse.
asciilifeform: solid state gyros were implicit in lilienfeld's (yes, 20s!) transistor.
asciilifeform: stamp collecting with 0 idea wtf yer doing and why instantly devolves to demonology.

asciilifeform: something, i expect, quite simple, just put in a JMP over the primality check .
asciilifeform: ergo i expect that trivial keyz were not simply a matter of 'proggy P'.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475480 << as is usually the case, mircea_popescu is the grim plague doctor, complete with beak, telling us exactly when death will come - and pretty much always on target.
asciilifeform: http://verysimple.com << still there. but what???
asciilifeform: (why not simply launch rocket from the earth is an exercise for the reader...)
asciilifeform: lel, when ever did mp give out free shitz, you pay in body fluidz
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu sks-2016 sawed apart (took ~30 hrs) and now pumping in.
asciilifeform: the empty hole appears to be for one of those bicycle lock things.
asciilifeform: astonishingly, there is even a jumper.
asciilifeform: i also did not bother to examine the underside of mp, all of the connector pads appear to be on top
asciilifeform: Framedragger: pogo is a small linuxable computer, now out of print
asciilifeform: very impressive mechanically.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu gonna fire up sks dump circa 2016 shortly.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usaschwitz, like all other slave empires, is ultimately powered by nondischargeable personal debt
asciilifeform: no, but implied !
asciilifeform: this has ~nothing to do with provably placing transform's inversion into a complexity class.
asciilifeform: i.e. problems np-complete in the general case, but very much p in ~every known instance.
asciilifeform examines his spratuary, it is nearly empty
asciilifeform: ^ this was the umpteenth copy of deedbot, also
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474626 << su had a judicial sentence 'with confiscation of property', which was routinely employed, and included ~all~ property of the condemned. usa presently does not have such a sentence - it has 'proceeds and instruments of the crime', and 'restitution', which amount to ~same thing. and soon will be == de jure.
asciilifeform: complete with yappy-dog.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474385 << mircea_popescu whole point is that ~my particular lamp~ is still glowing. (i recently bought one of them tritium lamps, it is a good analogy for this actually)
asciilifeform: from this thread we get a trivial definition of adult cryptosystem: provably unbreakable unless complexity classes collapse.
