indiancandy1 and sexy [00:00]
asciilifeform indiancandy1: paid mircea_popescu a visit yet ? [00:00]
decimation asciilifeform: I suppose slight variation in the sampling clock (known to the enemy) would have very little effect on the output [00:00]
asciilifeform decimation: the correct way to sample is at (within feasible limits) random intervals. [00:00]
asciilifeform what one might call 'spread spectrum' clocking. [00:01]
indiancandy1 no [00:01]
williamdunne indiancandy1: http://i.imgur.com/JlzKjcw.jpg can't see your face though [00:01]
indiancandy1 why would i [00:01]
indiancandy1 instagram [00:01]
indiancandy1 realshantidynamite [00:01]
decimation asciilifeform: I rarely deal with irregularly sampled signals, the idea creeps me out a little bit [00:02]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 64389 @ 0.00028049 = 18.0605 BTC [+] {3} [00:03]
asciilifeform decimation: rng literally breaks most of the rules of 'civilian' electronic design [00:03]
williamdunne indiancandy1: Yeah okay I'll agree with you. [00:03]
asciilifeform where you try to minimize noise, get predictable mechanism, etc [00:03]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28400 @ 0.00028386 = 8.0616 BTC [+] [00:04]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah it's a fair point. my mental viewpoint for sampled signals is always a frequency domain visualization. my 'test' would be a really long fft [00:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform how's she to afford the airfarez. [00:09]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: same as me l0l [00:10]
asciilifeform using money. [00:10]
mircea_popescu she's enslaved by the cispatriarchy with the belief that she shouldn't have to. [00:12]
asciilifeform waiwut [00:12]
williamdunne Surely if she were to be blaming the cispatriarchy that would suggest she is transgender [00:15]
decimation what about transpatriarchy [00:15]
mircea_popescu well how should i explain it ? lol [00:15]
williamdunne decimation: that implies they are delusional [00:15]
mircea_popescu williamdunne if one blames the nazis does that mean they're jooz ? [00:15]
williamdunne mircea_popescu: no, but thats not binary [00:15]
williamdunne You're either cis or you're not [00:16]
williamdunne Its more like if you blame women, you're (probably) a man [00:16]
mircea_popescu is it ?! [00:16]
mircea_popescu most she-haters i know are womenz. [00:17]
williamdunne Hmm you're right, none of these examples are all that great [00:17]
mircea_popescu to bring the point home : you can only be NOT cis. because the people who use the term aren't, and to the entire would outside of that small, retarded minority the term is meaningless. [00:17]
* indiancandy1 has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [00:17]
mircea_popescu much like rape, racism, privilege, democracy, equality, social justice etc etc. [00:18]
williamdunne Indeed, so she is either a transvestite or a squirrelkin [00:18]
asciilifeform not meaningless >> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Cis-trans.svg/1280px-Cis-trans.svg.png [00:18]
mircea_popescu the list of terms scared up by the delusional have this fundamental property that they only exclude. [00:18]
williamdunne /apache attack helicopter [00:18]
mircea_popescu the .svg.png part is lulzy. [00:19]
asciilifeform aha [00:19]

decimation my understaning is that bomber tail guns were not very effective [00:39]
deedbot- [Trilema] /btc/, the most recent 8chan board - http://trilema.com/2015/btc-the-most-recent-8chan-board/ [00:41]

cazalla http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-05-2015#1134258 <<< total butterface, great tits though [00:42]
assbot Logged on 17-05-2015 02:56:56; williamdunne: indiancandy1: http://i.imgur.com/JlzKjcw.jpg can't see your face though [00:42]
williamdunne cazalla: I wouldn't go so far as butterface, definitely not the strong point [00:42]
williamdunne Maybe I have soft spot for Indian women [00:42]
cazalla this one is only half indian though [00:44]
williamdunne And half greek, so you know she won't get anything done [00:45]
cazalla those desi girls are pretty hot mind you [00:45]
williamdunne I think its the combination of the skin, and some western-ish features [00:47]
cazalla what are western features? [00:51]
cazalla http://i.imgur.com/tXGZonM.jpg [00:53]
williamdunne Less Asian than other Asians [00:55]

cazalla one for mircea_popescu https://instagram.com/p/zxai8jh6A4/?taken-by=realshantidynamite [00:59]
decimation http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/17/us/projectile-problem-goes-beyond-amtrak-train-and-philadelphia.html?_r=0 < lol apparently the new explanation for the amtrak crash in philadelphia is that the 'local citizens' were throwing bricks at the trains [01:00]
decimation "Getting ?rocked,? as locomotive engineers call it, is so common on the Northeast Corridor that trains long had metal grills over their windshields to act as armor. These days, thick glass is specifically designed to withstand the impact of a cinder block. Amtrak officials say trains are pelted in the neighborhoods around the crash site monthly." [01:01]
decimation note that the new york times hasn't seen fit to cover this until now, because reasons [01:02]
decimation well, one would think that the trains that carry the flower of the ny & dc elites might carry some level of interest [01:06]
asciilifeform l0lwut [01:07]
asciilifeform elite, on trains? [01:07]
decimation sure [01:07]
asciilifeform what is this, 1890 ? [01:07]
decimation how do you think they travel? tsa screening? [01:07]
asciilifeform 'learjet' etc [01:07]
asciilifeform no tsa. [01:07]
decimation nah. if going from dc to ny (or reverse) aircraft would be less convenient [01:08]
asciilifeform only for plebes condemned to arse searches and queues [01:08]
decimation not really. you gonna land a plane in grand central station [01:08]
decimation gotta go to teterboro or some other outlying airport [01:09]
decimation lawyers, politicians, media [01:09]
decimation usg is all over the place [01:09]
decimation but the important bits are within walking distance of a metro station [01:10]
decimation joe biden was famous for commuting daily from delaware on amtrak [01:11]
decimation while he was a senator [01:11]
asciilifeform to imagine that this is why the bricks fly, is lunacy [01:11]
decimation sorry I wasn't implying that was the case [01:12]
decimation the fact that bricks fly at such trains ought to be newsworthy [01:12]
decimation my point being that it only turns out to be newsworthy once a major accident happens and people get injured/killed [01:13]

gabriel_laddel "Reductio ad absurdum, which Euclid loved so much, is one of a mathematician's finest weapons.

gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: whats up? [04:03]
BingoBoingo gabriel_laddel: Nah, avoiding MMA, becoming a boxing tomato can for my 40th birthday in 11 years [04:03]
BingoBoingo Oh, not too much is up. My youngest brother got their BS in Mechanical engineering today. [04:04]

gabriel_laddel I like walking and that is about it as far as exercise goes. [04:07]

BingoBoingo citalopram vs. escitalopram and levo-methamphatamine vs. dex-methamphetamine is a good starting point on chirality [04:23]
gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: The bent I'm attempting to communicate here is something like this: You've made it to #b-a, which unlike any community I've ever encountered provides a foundation for building a sane civilization and you want to... become a boxer? It doesn't follow. Boxing is a last resort sort of thing, even if you were to become the worlds best boxer you're still basicly some poor fuck who couldn't make [04:24]
gabriel_laddel it as an intellectual. [04:25]
gabriel_laddel If your goal is to become scary, well, there are way to get there that are going to make you much more scary than the worlds best MMA fighter. [04:25]

gabriel_laddel Yeah, always work towards a purpose, not a cause right? [04:26]
gabriel_laddel (I kid) [04:26]
gabriel_laddel that said, I wish you the best in all your ventures. [04:26]
BingoBoingo My take is there is a tradition. [04:27]
gabriel_laddel Regarding China - finding reliable chemical suppliers and integrating with the WoT sounds like a useful use of one's life. [04:28]
gabriel_laddel /s/useful/productive [04:28]
gabriel_laddel My take is there is a tradition. << this means nothing to me [04:28]
BingoBoingo It requires minimal monetary expenditure and substantial time expenditure to approach X, A side effect of X is getting punched. Getting punched will happen regardless through other habits I entertain. [04:29]
cazalla ya know BingoBoingo, people told pacman he couldn't become a boxer [04:32]
BingoBoingo ^ [04:32]
gabriel_laddel Getting punched will happen regardless through other habits I entertain. << can't save people from themselves... [04:33]

BingoBoingo Thankfully Obummer surrendered to the Castros [04:38]
mircea_popescu can be bundled into a usb stick or CD/DVD installer with a single procedure call <<< exactly this. [04:39]
mircea_popescu an "install" you have to "fiddle with" is not an install. [04:39]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel kinda too long to fit on a banner, i fthat's what you meant ? [04:41]
cazalla of course for every pacman there is countless spider ricos [04:41]

mircea_popescu " You've made it to #b-a, which unlike any community I've ever encountered provides a foundation for building a sane civilization and you want to... become a boxer?

cazalla still don't get the 11 years of training [04:45]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel i think that's how half the chan people are too. that's why it's such a trap for them [04:45]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Honestly having been roundly rejected by the fiat economy anything I approach is as a hobby, except for the qntra. The Qntra is deadly serious. [04:45]
mircea_popescu but anyway, guy has it : we definitely need more people in china. [04:45]

BingoBoingo cazalla: Think about how many pitchers peak in ability in their late 30's early 40's (or not) versus combat sports peeps over at 30 because they are too beat. [04:48]

BingoBoingo If anyone didn't guess already the Qntra Bird Flu article came out of buying 2 dozen eggs and the next week buying the same two dozen eggs for a budget busting (who plans for 67% markups) price. [05:03]

mircea_popescu word. [14:14]
mircea_popescu i am quite stunned myself. [14:14]
mircea_popescu anyway, i do encourage everyone to try this themselves. [14:14]
mxtm now what do we do with our GPG keys and GPG in general :( [14:15]
Apocalyptic asciilifeform, isn't Π(∀n) the product of all the modulus treated by phuctor ? how do you get $schmuck-Q * $otherschmuck-Q by dividing it by (schmuck-P ^ 2) ? [14:15]
mircea_popescu mxtm we check implementations to make sure they're conformant to spec. [14:16]
mircea_popescu the spec is in no way broken by this. [14:16]
mircea_popescu oh also - if anyone has a hacker news account or w/e - put it in. [14:17]
asciilifeform Apocalyptic: you are correct, the formula is missing a step. but i will leave it as exercise. [14:17]
Apocalyptic asciilifeform, that calculation makes sense if Π(∀n) is in fact the product of only the two modulus we're interested in [14:17]
mats asciilifeform: seen this? https://factorable.net/weakkeys12.extended.pdf [14:22]

mircea_popescu never happened (tm) [14:23]
asciilifeform aha. [14:23]
asciilifeform the paper is worth reading, it contains a bit of exposition on -how- a schmuck might end up with dupped privates [14:23]
Apocalyptic asciilifeform, also I noticed that "Moduli waiting to test" number is updated quite regularly, why the running product displays the same number of digits for a while now, I guess it doesn't update as often ? [14:23]
asciilifeform Apocalyptic: it gets updated when a batch is done [14:23]
asciilifeform Apocalyptic: so you'll be waiting a few days [14:24]
Apocalyptic s/why/while [14:24]
asciilifeform ^ good question [14:24]
asciilifeform answrs. [14:24]
mircea_popescu optimized bubble-like process, was discussed in the logs iirc [14:24]
mircea_popescu faster to pair them up. [14:24]
asciilifeform we don't crap out the product often, it dances on the disk and slows things down [14:24]
asciilifeform it lives in ram normally. [14:24]

decimation asciilifeform: so did the sks server at one point accept anvin's key and then later bitrotted it? [16:20]
decimation cause I thought there was a checksum [16:20]
mircea_popescu this seems the most ... "nothing happened, go back to sleep"-benign theory. [16:20]
mircea_popescu it seems tempting, tho there are sticking points. but in any case, as phuctor progresses we'll get a better idea. [16:21]
mircea_popescu now that it has 3, 7, 11 etc in the P it will find all these. [16:21]
decimation doesn't the sks server check before shitting public key? [16:21]
decimation 'oh I got a bad key' [16:21]
mircea_popescu more on point, would you expect they STORE bad keys ? [16:21]
trinque incidentally dieharder has been busted in gentoo for at least two months [16:21]
mircea_popescu why ? space is an issue, right ? [16:21]
mircea_popescu trinque how ? [16:22]
trinque I'm trying to figure out why it wont build [16:22]
mircea_popescu heh. [16:22]

mircea_popescu full of 1mn such pubkeys ? [16:23]
ben_vulpes trinque: how does one go about walking the history of portage? [16:23]
trinque ben_vulpes: you can always build a specific version provided the ebuild is still available in portage by emerge =category-name/thing-0.1.2 [16:23]
trinque this underscores the need to archive /usr/portage/distfiles [16:24]
decimation well, I guess if you want your 'roster of people' to be a combination of legal record and bathroom graffiti, they got you covered [16:24]

mircea_popescu so can anyone get a key server, no matter which, to somehow swallow up an extra subkey for an existing key ? [17:27]
asciilifeform evidently [17:28]
mircea_popescu how ? [17:28]
asciilifeform the entire blob, notice, as per rfc2440/4880, is not in any way hashed [17:28]
mircea_popescu so ? [17:28]
asciilifeform the way you do it is 1) take existing 2) feed in place of old [17:28]
asciilifeform it will update, because - evidently - there is no mechanism whereby the update would be rejected. [17:28]
mircea_popescu i must be doing something wrong then [17:28]

justJanne Nah, I was just reading on the RSA factorization article where someone claimed this channel would still DDoS everyone who joins. Sadly I can’t see any of that (was hoping to see if it actually is true xD) [22:19]
danielpbarron it comes and goes [22:20]
justJanne I mean, I see some traffic, but it’s minimal. [22:20]

BingoBoingo justJanne: It isn't anything done by any of the channel regulars. It's just some butthurt dickbag with an excess of unwarranted self importance who imagines they are saving the world by DoSing every ip they spot here [22:21]
justJanne Reminds me of that guy spamming a gaming channel with links to their DDoSing company [22:22]
danielpbarron i heard that it just targets the user who most recently joined, and especially if it is a new hostmask [22:22]
BingoBoingo justJanne: Well the person doing it at first called themselves the reddit police and started by DoS'ing sites affiliated with regulars here. Then the sites beefed up and weren't so easy to DoS. So now they's had to settle for messing with home internet connections. [22:24]
justJanne I got some traffic on my system from 159.118.187.45 accessing my server via HTTPS and sending a few thousand GET requests, but nothing really devastating [22:24]
williamdunne lol what a tool [22:24]
justJanne (I have a bouncer on my server with 1Gbps connection, so I rarely notice DDoS at all) [22:24]
mats he's doing us a favor. [22:25]
BingoBoingo People examining the traffic spotted that most of the zombies were ntp reflection and stuff anyone could walk away with, and they likely did leaving less to hit here with. [22:25]
mats if you read this -- please stop by for another friendly conversation [22:25]
justJanne I have null-routed NTP and everything anyway [22:26]
justJanne So, they really DDoS random people? [22:27]
justJanne or, rather DoS [22:27]
* assbot removes voice from referredbyloper [22:28]

justJanne kinda interesting. [22:39]
