crtdaydreams[busybot]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-02#1015216 << putting the name to the face is initially quite jarring
bitbot[busybot]: Logged on 2022-11-02 10:43:52 asciilifeform[4]: shinohai: photo is defo of same fella ( met him in at mp's thing in '14 )
crtdaydreams[busybot]: serves as a pertinent reminder there is a human behind the bitstream
phf[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-02#1015413 and http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-02#1015349 what it looks like and i've never seen something like that before, is that it's a wp targeted attack, with a sprinkle of text recognition. could be for example a custom template, or a template patch that's based on recognizing
phf[asciilifeform]: existing template conventions. so you plop it in and get a spam/legitimate hybrid, that it's hard to figure out what's going on. really quite clever

bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2022-11-02 17:35:16 phf[awt]: shoulda used mp-wp
asciilifeform: phf: erred on side of pure spamola tho ( asciilifeform looked twice, and not noticed the older material, until 3rd time when cdd pointed out )
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2022-11-02 19:27:14 asciilifeform[4]: signpost: try marsaglia
signpost[busybot]: working it into the thing atm.
asciilifeform: signpost: had notion it came up in ye olde #t; and sure enuff, diana bolted a marsagliator to asciilifeform's udp tester back in the day
asciilifeform: or hm wasn't a marsaglia was it
asciilifeform: was 'twister'
signpost[asciilifeform]: yeah, xorshift's like 5 lines of logxor and ash eh?
asciilifeform: aaha, iirc fastest prng with decently long period
signpost[asciilifeform] just needs a decently normal distribution so should be great
signpost[asciilifeform]: https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v008i14 << paper for the interested; tried to huck the pdf link into archive.is but it wouldn't eat it, perhaps because it's a download.
asciilifeform: aaha, for this use case only needs decently long period ( and uniformity, which can then hammer into normal bell )
signpost[busybot] back in a bit
phf[asciilifeform]: i'm surprised every time i visit cmu ai archive AND IT'S STILL UP
asciilifeform: lol went to look, and it dunload
phf[asciilifeform]: well for some reason it's very very slow, but…
phf[busybot]: а ведь мог бы и полоснуть!
