BingoBoingo: Biodiesel has an ourself too!
mircea_popescu: the cat not worth teh skinning.
BingoBoingo: Hence the bagplan
BingoBoingo: "To put specific numbers on this, the report notes that studies consistently find that more than 90% of prison rapes are inter-racial and racially motivated. Blacks are found to be some 80% of the perpetrators, and whites are the vast majority of victims. Again, this is easily accessible in a peer-reviewed report published at a mainstream outlet. (So how are desegregated prisons working out for us now, huh?)"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i'd say they're working great.
mircea_popescu: contrary to pretense, under 1% of those are actual rapes, as defined by the only proper measure : "did you fight first ?"
mircea_popescu: whiteboy gets what he always wanted and was too scared to ask for.
diana_coman: ahahaha "like mircea popescu or whatever his name is, but even with him i suspect he's not anywhere near as rich as he wants people to think he is - it doesn't add up; poorly fitted suits, average looking hotel suites/condos, spends all his time living in cheap shitholes which is precisely what white people who have money to live abroad but aren't rich do)" ; from ^^
mircea_popescu: though mostly quoted for the fundamental prpblem -- these are college educated or educating esltards (maybe not ALL at MIT, but if you're on the internet.en you're either out of or currently in college) WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BECOME MILLIONAIRES.
mircea_popescu: can this be underscored enough ? i doubt it.
mircea_popescu: the only fucking reason, point and selling characteristic of anglo college is "making money", and there's no quantum below 1 million dollars.
mircea_popescu: yet... they do not know how to do it. AVERAGE salaries in the collegiate fields are about 100k/year, that means a 1mn income EACH DECADE, for AVERAGE performance
mircea_popescu: and these kids dunno how to be millionaires.
mircea_popescu: wut gives ?
mircea_popescu: complete and utter failure of the "social contract", at that. it's like a sailing school that fails to produce sailors, this ourdemocracy that fails to produce millionaires.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck else was anyone even watching the vhs tapes ?!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742442 << much smaller than this, if you count what % they get to ~keep~. end up with '3rd world' figure.

asciilifeform: 'LEGIT TESTOSTERONA OF HIGH QUALITY POWEDER DOESNT LEAVE YOU NO OPTIONS' << lol!!
asciilifeform: hey BingoBoingo wtf is a 'testosterona' ? boiled goat balls, straight from 1950s quackeries ?
asciilifeform: 'just be female theory strikes again'
asciilifeform: what am i even reading, 'looksmax.net' ?!?
asciilifeform: 'You can also try to solve one of the 7 millennium math problems for 1m each.' << hey there's a neglected get-rich-and-famous scheme!
asciilifeform: 'If you want to make real money in crypto, you don't get attached to one coin and you don't hodl, you also don't put all your money in bitcoin either, instead you do coin hopping' << didjaknow!!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but that's the very point!
mircea_popescu: the complaint re mp's perceived lifestyle neartly folds into the general problem : "i think mp might be a millionaire as usg defined that term for me, but it seems in a sense fake, because he doesn't display the markers usg trained me to recognize. i wonder, if usg controls my perception of my own wants in the sense of defining how their perceptible form looks, why i don't get to be a millionaire ?"
mircea_popescu: the discussion is readily mappable to its perfect equivalent which we oh so often rehash here : "i wonder what microsoft issued extension makes my operating system secure ?"
mircea_popescu: "tmsr claims to be more powerful than the us, but i have my doubts, because their software doesn't even unicode."
mircea_popescu: yes, schmucky mcschmuckersson, the REASON your software can't be powerful is EXACTLY that your software unicodes. not for the unicode itself, but for what the unicode IS.
mircea_popescu: and so on and forever until we fall over, "how could i get everything i need and it'll only ever be something i wanted ???".
asciilifeform: moar perplexing is wtf that forum is to begin with
mircea_popescu: exactly like reddit, a website someone made in the hopes of becoming a millionaire.
mircea_popescu: on it, the future of that country gathers.
asciilifeform: 'spam like a pro in 21 days'
whaack: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741795 << I have code to take his blocks and count up all the satoshis in the outputs that have undeterminable destinations. This is not very useful without also subtracting the coins when they are spent. This requires storing the txn hash and output index while I count up the satoshis. However ben_vulpes's api does not provide the txn hash and I have no CL code (yet) to calculate it.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 21:25 asciilifeform: whaack: not difficult to add up all of the various 'softfork' liquishit tho -- it shows up as 'cannot decode' on ben_vulpes's blockviewer
whaack: Ultimately what I want to build is a tool to determine how much a miner can obtain by "defecting" from segwit from the current mempool
mircea_popescu: how the hell could it not provide the txn hash
asciilifeform: whaack: i posted an ada block eater a while back, do you have a copy ?
mircea_popescu: what, it reserializes txn ?
whaack: well the txn hash is provided as the inputs in the future blocks but each new txn in a block does not provide a copy of its hash as well afaik
asciilifeform: ( mine did not process scripts and so is currently of 0 direct use for whaack's item. but it does show how to compute tx hash )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a tx does not carry own hash inside it ( how could it ), one has to compute it on the fly
whaack: I do not have a copy
asciilifeform: whaack: gimme a min
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but the hash is also the only sane index to txn
mircea_popescu: unless you actually go block44.txn7th, which is technically how spending goes, but anyway, i didn't expect he did that.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742457 << "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." etc

mircea_popescu: also that ballas quote re giving up the capital.
mircea_popescu: "Of course the idea is to get rich-- which sounds like capitalism, if you're retarded, but observe the message that is being taught: that the necessary correlate to getting rich is to give all the capital to someone else. The power is traded for the fetish of power. That's not capitalism, it is madness, and apparently Davos and Randi think women especially will heart it."
mircea_popescu: in similar news, "i don't think jakob fugger was really all that rich -- after all, he didn't even have an ipad".
phf: re upstack, there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same
phf: time "gopher is awesome, because it's so simple and pure", yeah, before you fuckers decided to show up.

mircea_popescu: is no longer unrelated at all. IT IS JUST A RESTATEMENT OF THE SAME THING!
mircea_popescu: "in order to get rich (as usg defines that term) in crypto you gotta trade... the crypto... for the fetish of crypto!!11". see ? the lesson's well learned.
phf: the frequency at which the word "modern" is used in those conversations is making me nauseous
phf: naturally every other account is pronouns sensitive, lgbt, suicidal, "anti nazi", genderqueer, etc. thanksgiving is an opportunity to talk about how their toxic parents don't understand them, etc.
phf: i was initially pissed off, but now i'm just sad, that babbage quote is very apropos
mircea_popescu: not much there to get pissed of AT.
asciilifeform: whaack: unofficial demo of adatronic block eater. takes a raw binary block on commandline, parses, prints computed hashes.
asciilifeform: you will need gnat, no other dependencies.
asciilifeform: tarball is heavy on account of including a test block.
asciilifeform: ( the ada per se is 27kB )
phf: i keep expecting another trilema executing a coordinated strategy, but once you spend a few days living amongst them, you realize that there's nothing there, so yes.
whaack takes a look.
mircea_popescu: hey, many girls are seeking and have been long seeking, and never yet found anything.
asciilifeform: whaack: posted simply so that you can see how tx hashes come to exist
asciilifeform: but it is in fact a complete block-eater, with the exception that it does nothing useful with scripts.
asciilifeform: diana_coman and other ada n00bz may find the item interesting, it is a complete proggy ( in the bare bone sense )
phf: project seti directed at earth
mircea_popescu: "mp is possibly not a millionaire seeing how he has girls combing the streets of poor countries looking for salvageable parts in the debris, as opposed to shooting photographs with the photographer's girlfriend like TRUE millionaires do"
asciilifeform: whaack: if yer in a hurry you can skip straight to transactions.adb .
whaack: asciilifeform: okay I plan to use ironclad to do the actual hashing in the cl implementation unless there is a better recommendation
asciilifeform: whaack: if you have the time, why not write a sha256 from scratch in cl. it's a needed, unfortunately, piece. and afaik there isn't a proper one published.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-02 19:09 mircea_popescu: sadly the story behind that is that denni parkinson was there with HER BOYFRIEND, who's some photog there to shoot some bs about branson's hobby (some kind of new and improved surfing)
asciilifeform: phf possibly could correct me if this is not so
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm still sad about that branson photo, every time i remember it, just have to shake my head

asciilifeform: ( do fleas quorum-sense ? )
mircea_popescu: lice too. which is why only "Some kinds of girls" get it in school.
mircea_popescu: most parasitosis works that way, actually. there is such a thing as a rich guy's tuberculosis immunity. or, for that matter, aids.
phf: asciilifeform: "Having to unfollow folks because I'm sick of cynical passive agressive subtoots." ""It will not hurt people who use gopher the way it has been used for ~30 years. It won't break things. Those folks can ignore what we're doing. This doesn't have to be antagonistic. If you don't wanna take part, that's cool! I'm not here to force you. Keep doing what you're doing, or do what we're doing. Either is wonderful" etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik proper aids immunity is a vanishingly rare item, and poorly understood yet
asciilifeform: phf: lol tolerasts
mircea_popescu: phf the difference in tone from the exact same item pushing bitcoin forks is that the gopher forks people have no one to fear in gopher.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't mean proper immunity, i just meant...
mircea_popescu: actually, here's what i meant : vai de omu' sarac, nici boii nu-i trag, ii cade pita-n cicat si cind fute da de cui.
mircea_popescu: dja want translation ?
asciilifeform: pretty sure i get it
phf: "there's some gopher purists out there but don't pay them much heed. There's no one in charge. There's nothing keeping you from your next big idea. There's nothing to stop you from trying. And besides, most of us think it's pretty cool."

ben_vulpes: whaack: i hastily stripped the cl i use behind mimisbrunnr for block parsing and transaction extracting into this tar for you: cascadianhacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/blockparser.tgz
ben_vulpes: it is some very embarassingly java-flavored CLOS, read it with a skeptical eye
ben_vulpes: i figure you can stitch it into a fare-friendly (asdf) form, if you have trouble or its missing bits let me know, 'tis a very hasty rip job
ben_vulpes will also read asciilifeform 's ada cutter
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it's pretty simple, makes use of ada's programmable stream
phf: asciilifeform: i recall their being tight hashing code, but every time i do the same thing and discover that it was sb-md5 (and there's a corresponding cmucl prior art), so no proper shasum
phf: *there
asciilifeform: phf: iirc the sha256 in 'ironclad' is simply a c wrapper around turdssl
ben_vulpes: ironclad needs a 'libressl'ing imho
phf: asciilifeform: no! you keep saying that, ironclad is 0 ffi
asciilifeform: so it has a working sha2 already ?
asciilifeform: and incidentally if phf knows this, possibly he studied it and is ready to genesis his personal copy ?
phf: src/digests/sha1.lisp
phf: src/digests/sha256.lisp
phf: src/digests/sha512.lisp
asciilifeform: if 'ironclad' is a worthy thing , it oughta be genesised
asciilifeform: !~later tell whaack when testing 'horse', verify that the bin turd produced as file 'out' is identical to the input block. this means that the parser worx.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
phf: maybe, but only as "presented as found". froydnj said in a few places, that he doesn't think ironclad is there yet as far as being used for production crypto. and we had a thread (with ben_vulpes) where we discovered that sha512 (!!!) had a bug
ben_vulpes: phf: do you know anything about the 'sharplispers'?
ben_vulpes: phf: bug was also fixed at some point
phf: yeah, was fixed in master, but not in quicklisp production, my point is mostly "what other wonders are there". like you said needs libressling
asciilifeform: i gotta ask, what means 'libressling'
ben_vulpes: also ironclad rsa padding is notquiteright, trinque i believe knows a bit more
asciilifeform: iirc 'libressl' was an attempted whitewashing of openssl turd by the usual suspects.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nobody's rsa padding is worth two shits
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: did not actually work i mean.
ben_vulpes: created messages that were undecipherable iirc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes buit it ended up not being needed, the "community" "consensused" that "openssl is okay" np.
mircea_popescu: the libre bs was in case of orange revolution.
asciilifeform: backup prong aha.
ben_vulpes: i mean an ideal republican gutting.
mircea_popescu: then what's wrong with tmsrizing.
ben_vulpes: perhaps shoulda said "needs a stan/mpi style gutting"
ben_vulpes: sure, tmsrification
phf: ben_vulpes: sharplispers i believe is the #lisp crowd who maintain "abandoned" packages (mostly for the purposes of xach having somewhere to git clone things from for his quicklisp). i know xach, luis oliveira, and nikodemus siivola, the last one being a proper hacker

mircea_popescu: just the parens highlight thing doesn't seem that gnarly. am i naive ?
ben_vulpes: shouldn't be that bad, no. i still don't understand the why of it. after five minutes of working with lisp the parens should disappear into background bookeeping on any usable brainsubstrate

mircea_popescu: she's tallied up all the sugar we saved, comes to almost a quarter ton!
mircea_popescu: cranberry sauce recipe goes "mix one cup of liquid with cup and a half of sugar" and so following.
mircea_popescu: "basically i multiply the portions by 8 and divide the sugar also by 8"

diana_coman had this flash image of shinohai paddling in the North Sea atop a server
shinohai: nah there is this crazy family that has a micronation in the middle of the ocean.
shinohai: i just introduced them to trb
diana_coman: what is a micronation?
shinohai: they have a rack of servers and i can buy one lol
diana_coman: oh, the Floating Bear sort of thing, lol; close to "atop a server"
shinohai: very much so! :D
shinohai: im going to be tmsr ambassador to sealand! xD
phf: ok, i have some idea why http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742652 because i've done it in the past. when you're debugging issues for complete newbs, you basically instinctually looking for two things, imbalanced parenthesis and misuse of intrinsics. yeah you could copy paste that stuff to your emacs buffer, but if what you're doing is essentially social service work, you get burned out on doing deep help pretty fast, hence you want to keep it in the p

phf: trilema-church i think has to be a danielpbarron project
mircea_popescu: so here's a something : on one hand i very much like https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyX33qsWIAAdMW3.jpg ; on the other hand i am kinda considering hiring a court artist for my own personal self-aggrandization.
mircea_popescu: the idiot author of the linked piece is too fucking dumb to answer emails to his god damned own contact email as provided by patreon, notwithstanding he evidently is fucking starving. ho the fuck even told these schmucks they're at liberty to you know, "make own decisions" such as not pick up phone from god ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- does anyone want to go through all of deviantart until they find either something like that or something that doesn't suck ? for the purpose of helping the first tmsr appointed artist get his appointment ?
mircea_popescu: (deviantart here used as metasyntactic notation for "whatever shitty forum these mortidifame gather upon")
shinohai: i can try mircea_popescu
shinohai: thats awesum
mircea_popescu: ok but intensively plox. "can try" as in you know, i checked out 1mn pix.
shinohai: oh ill bug the oc artist above intensively
mircea_popescu: lmao no no
mircea_popescu: OTHER ones is the idea.
mircea_popescu: this one... whatever, learn to answer.
shinohai: u just want to look @ similar ones?
BingoBoingo: Not picking up phone from God is disqualifying via character defect
mircea_popescu: i don't even care if they're similar per se, just as long as they're good.
mircea_popescu: and show the proper values, such as demeaning women, bare cunts, etcetera.
shinohai: in other Argentine explosions: http://archive.is/2BThJ
mircea_popescu: shinohai basically just go through all the pages of https://www.deviantart.com/cartoons/whats-hot/ i guess
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742727 << wouldn't something like "run it by candi" work as an infinitely better solution to this problem than html-css ?

phf: misplaced parenthesis is tricky to debug from the error messages, in fact i usually can't. i can usually intuit that the error is probably a result of misplaced parent, but then i still have to go an track it down
phf: i mean, a _misplaced_ parenthesis will result in a valid parse, but the error is going to be something along the lines of "error while parsing arguments to special form" or "argument x is not a number" or "function call with n arguments, but wants exactly m"
phf: hardcoregaming101 "modernized" their website, original http://hg101.kontek.net/, new http://www.hardcoregaming101.net. it took me a while to realize that "new" site is not in fact a lost domain. in the process old site is still there, but half the links are broken. welcome to "modern"!
mircea_popescu: well the old one was prolly confusing
phf: asciilifeform: how where do you source your cat5e? i've been using a leftover roll from my contracting days, but it finally ran out. went on amazon, not only are prices somewhat suspect (300m for $40?), but comments say that they cable doesn't actually conform to spec (wrong insulation, wrong conductor, etc.)
phf: /how //
mircea_popescu: 100% is made in china and the chinese don't respect any specs other than some stuff written on an old napkin in the head office.

phf: asciilifeform: ty, and another question, where was the code for that com1 to display thing that you had?
phf: heh, we now also have a heathen logger.
mircea_popescu: i invited him, actually.
phf nods
mircea_popescu: possibly the most logged channel on freenode, by now.
phf: i like some features that he has, live updates, also the convention of <date>#<id>;<filter>
phf: err, wait that actually made no sense..
mircea_popescu: seems to work, like a search.
phf: well, right, it highlights a specific post, but also filters, so ...#;foo works as a whole day filter
mircea_popescu: not a terrible idea, imo.
mircea_popescu: in fact, a per-day filtered-histogram could conceivably be very fucking useful hunting down large topics.
mircea_popescu: put one pixel line per day, from top to bottom, counting the occurences of $filter.
phf: that would be a useful feature, that's almost like a part of search functionality
mircea_popescu: sorta numerically enhanced topic finding.
phf: because #; in question is a javascript and for a specific day. since we use links for xref, i'm not sure what the semantic value of linking is going to be in that case. also mandatory javascript
mircea_popescu: not mandatory js at all, can do this server side
mircea_popescu: make a call like histograph?derpage, puts out a png with the histograph for that item
phf: oh you mean your example, not what whitequark has
mircea_popescu: well yes.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the functionality as such is particularly useful, i prefer the search. however the perspective actually is, filters would prolly empower the searching mind.
mircea_popescu: some kind of noun density or such.
mircea_popescu: phf you know what you could do, add it to search pages. would that be a lot of cpu ? to spit out a png maybe 2k x 200 tall, and link it from a compressed version on the search page.
