asciilifeform: 'the territory is better than the map, but it won't fit in your glove compartment'
asciilifeform: in mostly unrelated lulz, asciilifeform found that 1) most recent manufacture dates of batteries sold for classic thinkpads are all ~2013 2) mircea_popescu was unfortunately wrong, chinese LiIon cells have ~not~ improved, they have cheapened further still, expected useful life of a battery is ~year (less, with heavy use)
hanbot: sure, i'll snap one next i'm by there
hanbot: there are six of 'em here, apparently
asciilifeform: hanbot: this is still lulzy given as i was quite certain that all foreign rat shacks used the brand 'tandy' and vanished in late '80s

a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 20:48 asciilifeform: not only this: the very same ratshack actually died once (i went to the same liquidation sales, bought the furniture, etc) and then somehow came BACK from the grave, (no prizes for guessing how -- printolade) undead, to live for another 3y
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-17#1657550 << searching (to no avail!) for a non-es keyboard the other day, i ran into, and did a double-take of, a radio shack here in cr. i had no idea they'd even squeaked by. no liquidation here (yet?).

mircea_popescu: if the toilet worked it wouldn't need fixing!
asciilifeform: ('the answer lies in the sewers' !! )
a111: Logged on 2017-05-20 19:16 mircea_popescu: Framedragger come to think about it, the logic actually follows. nature is red in tooth and claw. the hysteria of "removing the red from nature's tooth and claw", usually sold by the "our democracy" lunatics as "rule of law" or equivalent, directly runs all the way to "male penis is not reproductive organ but social construct".
mircea_popescu: what, you thought http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-20#1659774 was a joke ? it was no fucking joke. the price of ipads is imbecility.
mircea_popescu: what fucking fix. they can't open it anymore than they can fuck the woman on the deserted island. "nobody to introduce us!!1"
mircea_popescu: but as it is, the problem'd be that their mental object for a toilet does NOT EVEN FUCKING HAVE THE OPENABLE PROPERTY.
mircea_popescu: prior to modernity, one could also not easily picture adult man, with two legs, who could not leave the fucking room.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ever seen that great bunuel film, "the exterminating angel" ?
asciilifeform: on other hand, i've never owned an entire goat, so cannot claim to be first class goat cook.
phf: they totally would, like, you know, if they had to!
shinohai: Simple, we use our feces to fertilize garden and therefore need no toilets!
ben_vulpes: it's not just that nobody bothers to fix the toilets, it's that they literally /cannot/, would rather prattle on at city council about implementing new taxes to pay for urban community gardens to feed the poor kale or what the fuck ever eudaly wants to wank off to this week
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform could. i have this magic want which takes the "would" away.
ben_vulpes: yeah which is its own indictment of the place

asciilifeform: aaaha, esp. the not-being-frozen-in-time aspect
asciilifeform: entirely same thing, but crunches 32b (on 64b box) at a time, rather than 1
asciilifeform: halfword, rather than word, at a time, because of the idiocy of compilers, which LOSE the carry flag (see last 4 or so threads re subj)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the 'our code in github' link goes nowhere
Framedragger: heh they describe the key negotiation etc in sorta-detail on their website, which is probably *a first* https://www.connect.im/faqs?faq_category_id=5 i mean, don't use this, but it's refreshing to see this (in broken english no less lol)

mircea_popescu: contact id based on pubkey, i have nfi why they think it dun leak metadata ; also no idea why they bundled tor in it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, their contact scheme (summarized/cleanned up : cookie + pubkey + signature with same pubkey) is not terrible. uses rsa, which is a +.
mircea_popescu: we even had the dude's pgp.
asciilifeform: 'Ricochet uses the Tor network to reach your contacts without relying on messaging servers. It creates a hidden service, which is used to rendezvous with your contacts without revealing your location or IP address.'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the linked piece cites 'qtox'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not tox, the other one. tox we already lulzed at.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you know, ~everyone there wears their rucksacks in front like total fucking retards (the REASON that type of bag was invented by zee germanz, and the reason it became popular esp for schoolkids, is that it leverages the weight to improve posture. IF you weart it correctly.)
asciilifeform: yet another multicolourphone!!
asciilifeform: 'Whether it's corporations or governments, digital surveillance today is widespread. Tox is easy-to-use software that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. ' << lol!!
mircea_popescu: chick has a skype, AND a tox thing (it's in the logs) AND a "ricochet" item which i never saw before but seems to make some tall claims.

diana_coman: they were distributing some staff from canada's travel recommendations re "stay safe in argentina" for some reason; apparently some "laptop-stealing exercises" were quite well-planned as in 2-3 people, goop on the target's backpack, "helping" etc
diana_coman: ahahah, perhaps they'll have a special conf session re moar rms ppl!

mircea_popescu: there is no room for cynocephaly in modern world!
asciilifeform: but where will the cynocephali live
mircea_popescu: which is the true boon of democracy : if everyone must be a people because they look kinda like one, then everything must be something else because it vaguely looks like it, and welcome to the dark ages.
mircea_popescu: for instance : the reason for eg, "trump is nazi" narrative is possibly mostly based on the observation that country of russia bothers and disturbs country of our democracy just like country of muslim bothers and disturbs the good country of africa and therefore the russians must be nazis and probably the muslims are also spies! notwithstanding that they have serious problems with comprehending basic crypto etc. trump must be
mircea_popescu: the five provinces of the world. wu shu or w/e it';s called.

mircea_popescu: people are born quite dirty, what can you do. gotta wash all the guts, mucus and shit off somehow.
trinque: I can also see the wisdom in seeing oneself as by nature, a lying sack of shit, requiring discipline to forge a human from the clay.
trinque: former's sort of an odd "I will wear weighted clothing and thus be stronger"... the "forgiveness of sin" thing I suppose lets one take the weights off time to time.
mircea_popescu: actual alcohol couldn't have gotten them, caucasians are used to it.
trinque: I take in danielpbarron's, when he speaks of it, that it is a knotted rope with which he beats himself. the other folks babbling about it, it's a damned gold star of "I am god's child"
mircea_popescu: perhaps. nevertheless... unreliable item. (which is exactly catholic doctrine : "follow bible without priest, you'll go straight to hell in handbasked". it sounds absurd but then again it's lived history.)
mircea_popescu: obviously the elite christian response would be to point out that the basis of unholy communion was in no sense the holy writ, but merely what every language recalled of it, which is to say they distilled all the holy out of the writ.
asciilifeform: the plantators were , by all indications, aware of this
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: is very much http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ). consequently a situation of "whoever forges common language first wins" and so therefore 4. idiotic derpage "bible" crap won BECAUSE it was the ~only common ground.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the retrospective correct analysis is, 1. you get a bunch of elite people get together (everyone who made the trip was elite -- else they couldn't afford the significant proceedings ; this includes the slaves, for the same reason -- if they weren't 10s nobody'd have taken them across and that's what in africa cca then it meant to be elite) ; 2. they have no way to communicate, for lack of language (because language
trinque: indeed, the way these women speak of Teh Lord is fraught with perverse sexuality. modern male cuck is her beloved son.
mircea_popescu: beyond fucking scandalous. should have whipped them face to face.
mircea_popescu: trinque quite so. the men permitted the women to betray the house of their master for "the house of the lord".
mircea_popescu: the unholy alliance of neoprotestant old men + bored housewives. horrible.
mircea_popescu: tbh, cca 1880 it'd have been rather hard to predict us will simply check out, let the dumbest of the dumb handle affairs for a century.
trinque: asciilifeform: if considered earnestly I have to blame the clown-suit socialism and decadent descendents

mircea_popescu: i like the weather here, what.
trinque: I cannot believe the fucking squander
mircea_popescu: nfi why the italians went to the us and to argentina, the socialist shitholes at the two ends of the continent.
trinque: aha. didn't, and *entirely their fault*
mircea_popescu suspects "looking european" is simply a placeholder for "looking like your entire fambly didn't starve since the day it was invented"
trinque: successive compromises, gotta leave italy because lets not die in the street with mussolini, gotta leave new england because hierarchy is illegal, lets just wither here on this beach.
mircea_popescu: fuck, the chinese are starting to look european from behind.
asciilifeform: at least in the capital
trinque: I recall the smell of tragedy around the italian side of family; it was the gnarled vestige of something that would claim lineage back to old mancinus
trinque: the lady I'm speaking of; grandfather would be the related one
mircea_popescu: show it to your grandmother, she might appreciate.
trinque: maybe why I give too much weight to the biological; italians are racist as hell after all
mircea_popescu: the only problem with such improvement is that the notion that "we shouldn't hafta die" becomes universal and then therefore...
trinque: not speaking there of the anglo notion of fambly
trinque: a great aunt of mine, from oldschool italian family of some note, said to my mother "The air here is toxic to family."
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason every army prefers the enemy kill its infantry than it's officers -- and it's also how war improves the population.
mircea_popescu: kinda what the russians were trying to do to the polish, re katyn etc.
mircea_popescu: so it's rather nonsensical to say "blacks are dumb". if you spend a century killing the humans, you'll be left with mostly cows.
mircea_popescu: the interplay between biological (ie, headcount) and political (ie, powerspeech count) domination in the hucow herd is ~the whole of history, anthropology, sociology etc.
mircea_popescu: im not sure there is such a thing as a tribal type. basically any group of hucows has some humans and some cows mixed in. what you call "tribal types" is where cows are biologically dominant. cultivate the population for a few generations, it's just as capable to northern italy 15cento as northern italy itself. which, if you decultivate for a few generations...etc.
trinque: might be racis, but the more tribal types always end up 1) out-fucking and 2) opting for dr prince james ibonga
mircea_popescu: only known similar example being soviet union. stalin - also elected. except rosas didn't actually behead his own lieutenants or all thje rest of the nonsense associated with stalinism. which is why they never fucking mention him.
mircea_popescu: by a people who had their head screwed on right.
mircea_popescu: trinque very much indigenous. see rosas, for instance. guy is EXACTLY a "bad tyrant" by the "our democracy" bestiary ; was ELECTED. with genuine majority.
trinque: well in the argie case, mixed with indigenous whatever, I guess.
trinque: I dunno that so much agency is involved, though. These are the descendents of empty creatures that used to be animated by the flow of will from their owners.
diana_coman: in denial of what? they are happy because they are on the road to where they need to be; they don't know it/acknowledge it,so what difference does that make?
mircea_popescu: ALSO a fine example of the whole "happy while in denial"
diana_coman: quite well,thanks; fighting the swamps of planeshit as usual these days
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all". <- well, fat of ancestors can only be eaten/spent, but not sustained without own muscle; so basically it makes sense: they are searching for their own *real* level/position as downwards as that might be; not as if they are aware of it or need be, bu
mircea_popescu: anyway, working great for them, soberania & argentina no es un pais pobre ftw. meanwhile they ain't got two empanadas to rub together and uni profs are buying socks on credit.
mircea_popescu: like chickens going prrrrr prrrr in their coop at night.
mircea_popescu: literally, there's some words in pre-glued structures that must be emitted with specified frequency or they get uncomfortable.
diana_coman: and all the "they stole my laptop" "they entered conference rooms and tried to steal a laptop"
diana_coman has recently been under a bit of avalanche of pictures from latest ICSE in Buenos Aires and she's SO HAPPY to not be there

mircea_popescu: for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all".
mircea_popescu: and there is no rhetorical flourish in the above ; it is exact and correctly descriptive.
mircea_popescu: that process has turned a country which cca 1950 was in the top 5, ABOVE CANADA, into something struggling to not be overtaken by the gabon.

mircea_popescu: joining nato utterly ruined the place.
pete_dushenski: as an aside, this mircea_popescu retelling blows my feeble canadian mind no matter how many times i read it. i'm not sure there's been a single person in the history of this great arable land that's had an impromptu motorcade like that.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-11 15:40 mircea_popescu: let me point out that a) i visited, when i felt like ; b) they gave me a 10 year visa back in 2000. i was one of the i dunno, maybe dozen romanians with one, at the time ? c) they fucking held the embassy open while my driver was going 100 on the wrong way in bucharest because i met some friends and got to drinking and we lost track of time and we were late. eventually got a police escort to do it under color of law at least,

mircea_popescu: the stopping of talking in the tardsgroup is never suspicious. they talk at the margins, as per the "gotta say unsaid things" heuristic.
asciilifeform: and, supposing they do not : was the stopping - suspicious..?
asciilifeform: do they still even nao?
mircea_popescu: the sort of thing one's not well advised to stop trying even should he succeed.
asciilifeform: the 'formulate as predictor' came from asciilifeform's ongoing regular stabs at breaking shitoshi's rng.
asciilifeform: tests as we have them now are useful because they can reveal 'organic' damage or misdesign, e.g. stuck bits. rather than malfeasance.
asciilifeform: ( what delta over random stab in the dark does the supposed predictor give the enemy . )
asciilifeform: however there is a number of tests-for-broken-rng. my idea was strictly re an algo for how to measure their actual relevance .
asciilifeform: and yes, this is still same old tests, nothing magically different about them, there will ~never~ be a mechanical test for 'good rng'
mircea_popescu: the problem hgere is : you are guarding the wife's door rather than her cunt. she dun need to use the door.
mircea_popescu: in this sense ~all of the dieharder tests do produce one implicitly.
mircea_popescu: i suppose distributions is the sane way to go about this. study if taking byte as 3 gives uneven distribution as opposed to taking byte as 8, say.
asciilifeform: because the output byte is never ever 0xaa .
asciilifeform: say an rng fails the 'birthdays' test.
mircea_popescu: again, irrational numbers are the problem. pix+e is not "algebraic" in this sense.
asciilifeform: this is not about the tests, but the output of same
mircea_popescu: no see, now you made it in the general again.
mircea_popescu: the problem is thge swet of possibly existing failures is transfinite or some shit
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660255 << again, nobody (rather, not asciilifeform) asked for general case -- it is provably impossible (see chaitin)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform otherwise, the presence of "whitening" is conversely the statement of the impossibility of proper "ent"
asciilifeform: per dijkstra's 'testing can demonstrate the presence of bugs, but never their absence'
mircea_popescu: i keep waiting for one of these actually doing it properly : rubbing self with thyme and stuffing bacon in the cuts.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 01:33 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is insoluble and dieharder/ent/etc are fundamentally braindamaged. there's no way to avoid the "give it a large enough sample it'll show 100%" problem specifically because there's no such thing as random bitstream.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-23#1660248 << this ain't the problem -- already right off the bat , sane operator knows that it is physically impossible to test for ~good~ rng, only for ~bad rng~
mircea_popescu: because i've had it explaining this in private : yes http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659420 goes to 1. for the same money, f(x) = 1/n^x g(x) = 1/x converge to 1/n, which is any arbitrary value (including 0 when n=x so f(x) = 1/x^x. nfi why this isn't evident, but anyway.

mod6: yeah, was thinking heavily about the new version lastnight. need to get some work into that yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is insoluble and dieharder/ent/etc are fundamentally braindamaged. there's no way to avoid the "give it a large enough sample it'll show 100%" problem specifically because there's no such thing as random bitstream.
mod6: will be removing these.

mod6: I might just end up writing a page that links all the ent/dieharder results.
asciilifeform: the idiotic 'looping' cannot (afaik) be switched off. (yes i could patch the src but the result will be a nonstandard tester )
asciilifeform: ( the grade outputted by the 'hungrier' tests appears to be in direct proportion to sample size, and very little else; and FG, /dev/urandom, various fashionable prng, intel's mysterymeatrng, and several others, all exhibit same effect, 100% pass begins somewhere b/w 1-3GB sample size. )
