Mocky: I had the most vivid dream last night that I met mp and hanbot. I shook mp's hand and then I turned and shook hanbot's hand and when I turned back mp was gone but left me a note with his signature and "kek" then I turned and habot was gone too [10:55]
asciilifeform: guten morgen Mocky [10:56]
Mocky: mornin' [10:56]
BingoBoingo: Mornin folks [10:58]
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/01/dead-black-man-found-at-major-pantsuit-donors-home-for-second-time-in-less-than-two-years/ << Qntra -- Dead Black Man Found At Major Pantsuit Donor's Home For Second Time In Less Than Two Years [10:58]
mircea_popescu: Mocky lol auction off the note, prolly bigbux(tm)! [11:24]
* asciilifeform upturned a stack of papers with elbow last night, a mircea_popescu card came flying out [11:25]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo are these tynisha ysais relatives ? any bits missing ? [11:26]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's a mp card ? [11:26]
mircea_popescu: oh, you mean the black business card things ? [11:26]
asciilifeform: aha that [11:26]
asciilifeform: the 1 with the gpg fp [11:26]
mircea_popescu: pretty cool item, if i do say so myself. the face of all the people who've since got one... worth erry penny. [11:27]
asciilifeform: it's nifty. [11:27]
asciilifeform: i still think an electric one would be even spiffier tho [11:27]
asciilifeform: (i.e. plug it in, it 'types' the modulus) [11:29]
mircea_popescu: how'd an electric one go ? [11:29]
Mocky: electric, what, to pull itself out of your pocket? [11:29]
mircea_popescu: i dun see it. [11:29]
mircea_popescu: you know ? [11:29]
mircea_popescu: i mean, if it ~speaks~ it, it could be cooler in the intended market but honestly speaking is inferior tech to reading. [11:29]
asciilifeform: typing in 4096bit is bit of a pain [11:30]
mircea_popescu: SLAVEGIRLS. [11:31]
asciilifeform: lol [11:32]
Mocky: so long as it doesn't have cancel button [11:32]
asciilifeform: ahahahaha [11:32]
mircea_popescu: there's two solutions to "x is painful" : a) make x', just-like-x-but-not-painful and b) use it in training, where pain is both desirable, useful and necessary. [11:33]
asciilifeform: there's also the 3rd, 'make it == x but slightly less pain' but admittedly takes work [11:33]
asciilifeform: ( i'll observe, mircea_popescu's ship has diesels, rather than oars, last i knew ) [11:34]
mircea_popescu: (and, for completeness & rounding off [kek kek] of the "dating" reference yesterday : the ~other~ locus of man, other than "doing very well on a date", is sitting on a couch [of power] and pointing at which fancy fanciula he intends to sozomize next. just sayin'.) [11:34]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oars are not merely painful, but also train biceps. mp is not so keep in bicep-y slavegirls, THEREFORE has not oars. [11:34]
mircea_popescu: if oars promoted instead stoic values, it'd have fucking oars. [11:35]
mircea_popescu: not so keen* i meep [11:35]
asciilifeform: couch << very suleiman, i'd expect 'throne' [11:35]
mircea_popescu: meen* [11:35]
asciilifeform: i can see re the biceps tho [11:35]
asciilifeform: perhaps give'em pedals. [11:35]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is an eastern power, what can i tell you. [11:35]
mircea_popescu: or, to quote from fetgirl, "mistey25 19F Switch Also an intelegence test? What makes you think you have what it takes to judge if someone is smart or not. There’s a quote from Albert Einstein “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing it’s an idiot”. And you’re judging me based off of things you’re pulling out of your ass. Why don’t I give you a bit of judgement. Yo [11:36]
mircea_popescu: u look like a goat fucker." [11:36]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja reply 'perfect, you look exactly like goat [11:37]
asciilifeform: ' ? [11:37]
mircea_popescu: lol nope. i said goats are cute but not to the point of fucking one. [11:38]
asciilifeform: btw are they all xyzpqrDIGITDIGIT ? it's like aol never died [11:38]
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's testament to my famous capacity of fitting in -- comes from the fact i use as main profile pic a shot hanbot took in turkey, where i was being INCREDIBLY fucking fit-in. [11:39]
mircea_popescu: (the first time around, decade or so prior, turkey ss guy intercepted me. like on the street. asked if i'm from the us, i said romania, he said no fucking way, what are you selling me here. was pretty lulzy.) [11:39]
asciilifeform: twist : he asked in hungarian [11:41]
asciilifeform: 'english, french, and japanese spy'(tm)(r) [11:42]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they are not. here, have a sampler http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/ufhi6/?raw=true [11:44]
asciilifeform: oh hah, only a ~third of'em.. [11:44]
mircea_popescu: aha. [11:44]
mircea_popescu: did some countwork at some point irrc. lotta "kitten" (spoiler : generally fatties), lotta stuff like that. [11:45]
asciilifeform: in other esoterica, on gentoo 'xinput' dumps list of mice, and then 'xinput --set-prop yermousenumber 269 -1' switches off mouse-acceleration. ( possibly phf already knew this, but gives 9000x moar usable roller ) [11:45]
mircea_popescu: how are you to use a mouse w/o acceleration ?! [11:46]
asciilifeform: well if it's a trad mouse you generally wouldn't [11:46]
asciilifeform: but for rollerballs it worx great [11:46]
asciilifeform: ( 1:1 mm/rolled to pixels ) [11:46]
mircea_popescu: ah works diff for rollers ? mkay [11:46]
* mircea_popescu never got into that. [11:46]
asciilifeform: me neither, until recently [11:46]
mircea_popescu: i get the "takes less space than mouse" etc. it just seems bulky and inconvenient to me. and too high. and so on. [11:47]
mircea_popescu: not proposing this as problems ~with the item~. [11:47]
asciilifeform: it takes ~same space as mouse, if you have a decent two-bricks-sized box [11:47]
asciilifeform: the win is that when you e.g. cad, less muscle aches. ( asciilifeform aint cad'ing currently but expects to again later this yr.. ) [11:48]
asciilifeform: i dunno how phf ended up into it tho, iirc he dun cad [11:48]
asciilifeform: but i got the idea from him [11:48]
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo are these tynisha ysais relatives ? any bits missing ? << Apparently they are just dead sex workers [11:52]
mircea_popescu: black ~men~ ? [11:52]
asciilifeform: the linked piece read like a 'bugger-for-meth' affair [11:52]
BingoBoingo: Yeah, black male sex workers. [11:53]
BingoBoingo: From the text of the Qntra piece: "In the previous incident Gemmel Moore, a 26 year old male sex worker's death was ruled a drug overdose following an investigation which found numerous syringes and indicators of habitual methamphetamine use in Buck's home. According to Moore's journal, Buck introduced him to methamphetamine." [11:53]
BingoBoingo: White pantsuit hiring black men for sex and hooking them on meth... like that Atlanta dude but with different taste in holes [11:55]
mircea_popescu: well, in all fairness to the http://trilema.com/2016/welcome-to-baluba-island/ cuck in question -- if your wife fucks a dozen or so "bulls" before they do you in the ass per week say, and it's been a hundred weeks, you're looking at five or so thousand of these having spent a day with you within the past half week, which is the "relation" standard contemplated. [11:55]
mircea_popescu: that one in x thousand black gay-for-pay tards (who are also drug users, nqa) will od a year... gimme a break. [11:55]
mircea_popescu: in short : it's a wonder there weren't two dozen. [11:56]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the ridiculous notion " Gemmel Moore, a 26 year old male twink" was ~keepin a journal~. srsly ? with what ? [11:57]
BingoBoingo: His community college art school supplies? [11:57]
mircea_popescu: oh, you mean the ipad ? i think they cut off what he was trying to say. [11:58]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, first incident was dismissed after pantsuit outrage over the investigation as an attack on the old dude's lifestyle [11:59]
asciilifeform: hey, 'universal literacy'(tm)(r), neh [11:59]
mircea_popescu: "Edward Bernard Peter Buckmelter began his career as a fashion model in Europe" keks. [11:59]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you may think what you wish i've seen the fetards and i know better. [11:59]
asciilifeform: no i get [12:00]
mircea_popescu: the odds a 20something ~black~ ~male~ actually keeping a journal are 10ppm or so having the capacity to even in principle do so 0.1% sorta deal [12:00]
asciilifeform: it's a lul tho, the incas actually think they have 'literacy' [12:00]
asciilifeform: ( 'can read stop sign? here's yer school diploma' ) [12:00]
mircea_popescu: He formerly served on the steering committee of the Stonewall Democratic Club. He has donated "nearly $30,000" to Democratic candidates like Hillary Clinton, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar and Raja Krishnamoorthi as well as the Getting Things Done PAC. << dude give me a fucking break ? [12:00]
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck is 30k a sum of money. [12:01]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have this custom, iirc you can donate 1 orcbuck and still show up on 'list of donor' [12:01]
BingoBoingo: Other sources report ~500k still small. More interesting is the information brokerage he sold in his 30's. [12:01]
mircea_popescu: pretty ridoinculous all around. [12:02]
mircea_popescu: aaanyways. [12:02]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my point is rather that the democrats ~are very fucking poor~. [12:02]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure most of their dough comes from bezos [12:02]
asciilifeform: ( and saud et al ) [12:03]
mircea_popescu: precisely the "russian oligarchs" pseudo-economic model, yes. [12:03]
BingoBoingo: Except cut a couple figures off for the US version [12:03]
mircea_popescu: somehow this doesn't bother them, "hey, our entire understanding of money is, let's get some schmuck a bunch of taxchest so he can http://trilema.com/2012/dan-voiculescu-acest-gunoi-abject/ all over." [12:04]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it seems the reason he didn't pile up 2 dozen stiffs over the years is that same poverty [12:04]
mircea_popescu: yeah, they ~party~ ie, don't keep a ready supply of the stuff (chemicals, biologicals) for whenever feel like, but rather whenever the "pipe" leaks something run out and buy some of each, twice a eyar or w/e. [12:08]
mircea_popescu: the unsteady approach being in itself a great catalyst of both the paroxistic problem encountered and the incapacity for management displayed. [12:09]
mircea_popescu: (that article, btw, remarkable because i told ro bezos "Si, draga Varanule, nu-i clar ca mai ai cinci ani" ie, "dear reptile, it's not clear you have five years left" in 2012 -- by 2014 he was in jail. because hey, mp is right now and again accidentally which is to say 1024/1024 occurences on his blog etc etc) [12:10]
BingoBoingo: Well, middle class fellow constantly held up by his peers as a party elite [12:11]
asciilifeform: it's how they od, also [12:11]
asciilifeform: ( observe, goering -- morphinist from ww1 to '45, and never od ) [12:11]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was that the ro berezovsky or who [12:11]
mircea_popescu: just about yeah. dood ran off with the commies accounts receivable in 1989, so that isarescu was stuck inventing acreditives for fuel ships to unload rather than leave that winter. [12:12]
mircea_popescu: that was something else, that january. [12:13]
mircea_popescu: anyway, twas a mere coupla billion. which, at the time, was an IMMENSE sum, that ceausescu had gathered together over decades of hard fucking work for his 20mn slavecrop. [12:23]
mircea_popescu: now it's like... hey, remember when bitcoin had JUST breached 1k and "mp is a billionaire" still "controversial" / difficult to swallow for the tards talking ? [12:24]
mircea_popescu: it's one hell of an object to contemplate, this evolution, for someone who was there in the 80s. "you mean every penny saved off every old schmuck that died in soviet-style economical health care system / every bled out 1950s style (in the us, heh, http://trilema.com/2009/comunismul-capitalismul-si-oprimarea-femeii/#selection-71.0-71.8 ) woman because contraceptives cost money whereas her slavespawn is worth money, ALL THAT, [12:26]
mircea_popescu: every night spent in the cold to "save fuel" by whole neighbourhoods, the inaccessible meat or bananas or whatever -- ALL OF IT!!! went into one "humongous" pile of "the people's wealth" that was, looking in own pockets, not retrospectively that worth the mention ? [12:26]
mircea_popescu: what the fuck more is there, if this dun suffice re vanitas vanitatum what does. [12:28]
mircea_popescu: alas, poor yorick. i knew him, horatio... [12:31]
* mircea_popescu shall bbl. [12:31]
asciilifeform: it's exactly scale-model ver of the ru 'privatization' afaik. [13:05]
asciilifeform: ( and for all i know, ro actually involved moar 'turkeydollar', as by mircea_popescu's and other accts was 'tighter ship' ) [13:06]
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in paleo-entomology, https://archive.ph/ot5UK#selection-6697.0-6705.198 [13:32]
asciilifeform: 'There were people working behind the scenes trying to get the Symbolics VLM stuff legitimately released in some way to the hobbyist community - and this is likely to throw a wrench into that effort' [13:32]

deedbot: BingoBoingo paid lobbes invoice 2 [19:19]
asciilifeform: in other noose, constant-time stein-gcd aint so bad, 1msec (2048bit operands) , 6msec (4096bit) , 21msec (8192bit), 81msec (16384bit) [19:19]
asciilifeform: incidentally, whether it is possible to gcd arbitrary ints in non-quadratic time, is an open problem in numtheory [19:21]
BingoBoingo: ty lobbes [19:21]
asciilifeform: ( afaik nobody ever proved that you couldn't, and the nonconstanttime lehmer and variations run in ~O(n) for ~all inputs ) [19:21]
asciilifeform: the catch is that ~all != all. [19:21]
asciilifeform: on a box with 1 FG, the wait for a random fillup of a e.g. 2048bit reg, i suspect dwarfs the runtime of stein (and possibly even of m-r, dunno yet) [19:27]
asciilifeform: let's say yer baking one of the p, q of a 4096bit rsa mod. it needs 2048bit , i.e. 256byte of FG. a standard FG at room temp shits out 7kByte/s. therefore 256 / (7 x 1024) ~= 0.0357 sec., for a fillup of candidate register. [19:29]
asciilifeform: if primality test ( which consists of GCD ~and~ m-r, in order to constant-time ) does not exceed 0.0356sec, then on machine with 1 FG it can be considered that the FG is the limiting reactant. [19:31]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu diana_coman et al ^ [19:31]
asciilifeform: on a machine with multiple FG harnessed together, divide the figure by the # of FG in use. [19:31]
asciilifeform: ( all of this assumes that nothing is parallelized. asciilifeform in particular does not like parallelized subcomponents in rsatron, if it can be avoided , tho there aint anyffin wrong with running ~multiple~ rsatrons , on diff inputs, in parallel , if iron is available ) [19:33]
asciilifeform: nao, philosophical q : does one actually want to gcd + m-r always ? or is it acceptable to reject input after failed gcd litmus, and only ~then~ m-r . [19:35]
asciilifeform: cuz in the former case, there aint actually any point to gcd. [19:35]
asciilifeform: ( afaik there are no integers that are divisible by small prime (such as will fit in the primorial) and fail ~any~ number of m-r shots. [19:36]
asciilifeform: ) [19:36]
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/TkmoM/?raw=true << sneak peek of constant-time stein. ( afaik there isn't one anywhere else on the net, funnily enuff. ) [19:40]
mircea_popescu: the whole idea of prior gcd was to save on rm time. [19:41]
asciilifeform: right [19:41]
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't save any time it's not worth having [19:41]
asciilifeform: well at least not in the initial sieve ( one might still want it for e.g. pocklington's test ) [19:41]
mircea_popescu: something like that. [19:42]
asciilifeform: i'd be satisfied with gcd as initial sieve (given that i have one that dun leak anyffin) ~followed~ by m-r. [19:42]
mircea_popescu: i don't see the point. [19:43]
asciilifeform: of what ? that's the obv. version ( get from rng, until gcd shows that no small factors, and then m-r ) [19:43]
asciilifeform: i.e. to save on r-m time. [19:44]
asciilifeform: my observation was that on a box with 1 FG, the latter will almost certainly be the limiting reactant in prime-baking. [19:45]
asciilifeform: ( and that on iron where m-r ends up taking substantially less time than FG takes to fill up candidate reg, there may not be a point to pre-sieving ) [19:47]
asciilifeform: i dun have the m-r yet, so cannot give the equation quite yet. [19:47]
asciilifeform: the interesting thing about m-r however, is that it can make use of any available cpu given to it, to produce smaller probability of death [19:49]
asciilifeform: so depending on how many m-r shots you want, it can make sense to pre-sieve, to give m-r moar shots. [19:49]
asciilifeform: grr, moar complicated than i initially pictured, because m-r ~also~ demands rng [19:50]
asciilifeform: i'ma come back to this binomial once i have the m-r. [19:51]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform IF rm doesn't take much time, THEN i don't see the point of doing any gcd. because r-m is a complete test for what we need, and gcd is not. [19:54]
asciilifeform: right [19:54]
mircea_popescu: why overload the machinery with unreliable testing. [19:54]
asciilifeform: how 'many r-m shots' is a free variable tho. [19:55]
mircea_popescu: gcding small primes doesn't reduce the m-r constant. [19:55]
asciilifeform: it potentially frees up cpu for moar shots of m-r, was the idea [19:55]
mircea_popescu: what does ? not bothering to gcd ? [19:56]
asciilifeform: no [19:56]
asciilifeform: the opposite [19:56]
asciilifeform: ~doing~ the gcd pre-sieve [19:56]
mircea_popescu: ... [19:56]
asciilifeform: then you only m-r on inputs that already passed gcd [19:56]
mircea_popescu: the count of m-r shots is established on mathematical not circumstancial grounds. [19:56]
mircea_popescu: dude... [19:57]
asciilifeform: the ~minimal~ count [19:57]
mircea_popescu: this discussion is broken. [19:57]
asciilifeform: let's spell out the algo. 1. reg := read_from_fg(2048bits). 2. l = gcd(reg, primorial) 3. if l != 1, goto 1 4. mr = m-r(reg, shots) 5. if mr != true, goto 1. 6. reg is probabilistically-prime . [19:59]
asciilifeform: this is the 'pre-sieve' variant contemplated. [19:59]
asciilifeform: nao, on a machine with 1 FG, step 1 takes ~36msec. every time. [20:00]
asciilifeform: step 2 takes ~1msec (on asciilifeform's aged box, and less elsewhere.) [20:00]
asciilifeform: steps 3, 5, 6 take ~0. step 4 takes a certain yet-unknown time, which is a function of width(reg) and shots. [20:01]
mircea_popescu: right, which is precisely what makes it a discussion about nothing. [20:02]
mircea_popescu: IF 4 takes too little to bother, 2-3 aren't worth doing otherwise, otherwise. [20:02]
asciilifeform: i dun have the necessary figure yet. hence 'i'ma come back'. [20:02]
mircea_popescu: this is exactlyu how things stood 50 lines ~before~, also. [20:02]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i not only gotta write proggy, but to make sure that it makes sense to people [20:04]
mircea_popescu: in other news, reading old logs is something else, my the snr has changed. http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-18#565157 << back in 2014 dorky kids still thought "putin" is how you say "cool". in the intervening years -- they, changed not at all. everything around them... [20:04]

mircea_popescu: yeah, something else. [20:07]
asciilifeform: might be interesting ( phf? ) to have a filter toggle that only shows people who are still alive [20:08]
mircea_popescu: nah. [20:08]
asciilifeform: ( i find what e.g. mircea_popescu said in 2014 , interesting, but not xyzputin3333 ) [20:08]
mircea_popescu: it's still the context. 2014 mp actually talked to ~those~ dorks. [20:08]
asciilifeform: tru [20:08]
asciilifeform: tho not only ( also talked to ben_vulpes and other folx who tuned in prior to asciilifeform ) [20:09]
mircea_popescu: it'd be nice if this is how it worked, "lenin without the nieces". but historically... [20:09]
asciilifeform: wb mod6 [20:09]
mod6: thx! [20:11]
* mod6 has been working on the big blog post that outlines my work to create the keccak regrind for trb. [20:11]
asciilifeform: mod6: at the risk of sounding like mircea_popescu in earlier thread -- why is this a mega-project ? i reground ffa to keccak in about 10minute (after getting hold of a working keccak-vtron) [20:12]
asciilifeform: trb has , what, 3x the # of patches, so it'll take you 30m at most. [20:12]
asciilifeform: or do i misread, and mod6 already reground, and writing re how. [20:13]
* asciilifeform brb,meat [20:15]
mod6: Yeah, have already reground, indeed. This is a write up of how I did this. [20:15]
mircea_popescu: pretty cool [20:15]
mod6: And I think that makes sense, this isn't my personal project. How this work was done for the foundation should be a public facing thing, and reviewed by people before vpatches published. [20:16]
mircea_popescu: you always wrote quite excellent / delightfully complete such recipes. [20:16]
mod6: Thanks mircea_popescu, I appreciate that. [20:16]
asciilifeform: neato mod6 , i look fwd to reading [20:21]
mod6: *nod* I appreciate that asciilifeform, your eyes on such things always are a Good Thing. Not long after I post it, I'll be looking for people to help test the updated HOWTO guide too if anyone feels so inclined. (Please reach out if interested.) [20:22]

BingoBoingo: Well, in 2014 the screws hadn't much been turned at all [20:45]
BingoBoingo: gribble still "worked" for some definitions of work [20:46]
mircea_popescu: aha. [20:49]
lobbes: BingoBoingo: yw [21:44]
lobbes: wb mod6. I also look forward to reading your keccak regrind post (hopefully I can sponge some useful info) [21:45]
mod6: :] Thank you lobbes. [22:32]

trinque: lobbes: why didn't you read the script.. [23:12]
trinque: it didn't set a password on root. it asked you what user you wanted to create. [23:13]
mircea_popescu: this is cute. [23:16]
lobbes: trinque: fair enough, but then I should be able to login with that user right? Or at least chrooting in and setting the root password should've worked (I'd imagine) [23:23]
* lobbes goes to read scripts properly this time [23:26]
trinque: I recommend you read it, understand what it's doing, and then talk about it from knowledge of substance rather than knowledge of surface. [23:37]
trinque: it's not as if the script's setting anyone's password on anything it's just calling the util that does. [23:37]
trinque: also glad to see it getting used! [23:38]
trinque: I'm still gunning after the nondeterminism in the genesis. [23:39]
hanbot: billymg, phf: in billymg's latest mp-wp vpatch (http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-07#1885285), i see the old "\ No newline at end of file" spew on two of the touched files (was symptom of bug last yr: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-25#1786014). still indicative of proablem with presser/patch? [23:53]
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 04:31 billymg: hanbot: i put together a patch for the svg links mentioned earlier: http://billymg.com/2019/01/mp-wp-vpatch-update-internal-image-references-to-point-to-svg-extensions/ [23:53]
a111: Logged on 2018-02-25 19:25 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-25#1785986 << i thought that it was just a helpful warning, but upon reflection i realized that this is actually a bug. investigating it further i took a wrong direction on a diff's command line flag switch, and as it stands if you see this warning it [23:53]
hanbot: billymg nice work btw, am ready to sign once above is cleared up [23:54]
lobbes: trinque: I agree that I could use a more substantive grasp on the script as a whole (and will indeed study moar), however I want to say I'm at least understanding the bit in "create_user.sh" where it calls useradd and passwd, and then adds the $USER to etc/sudoers. I'm just missing -why- the user/password I set through useradd/passwd wasn't working when trying to login. Probably something elementary [23:54]
lobbes: that's under my nose.. [23:54]
trinque: you could've like, mistyped it, maaan [23:57]
