deedbot-: [Trilema] Calidad de Vida, or My Days Among The Cargo Cult. - http://trilema.com/2016/calidad-de-vida-or-my-days-among-the-cargo-cult/ [00:55]
phf: эх бросить всё и уехать в аргентину [01:12]
punkman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWmFu-_54fI [01:12]
mircea_popescu: heh [01:21]
mircea_popescu: punkman yeah too bad weaponry is moving from kinetic to fuel bomb. [01:22]
punkman: mircea_popescu: you mean the ones that ignite the oxygen around the target? [01:30]
mircea_popescu: all sorts, but yeah. [01:32]
mircea_popescu: basically the problem is, that structured armor will resist 100kj in kinetic attack and melt like chocolate under 5kj of thermic attack. [01:33]
mircea_popescu: and there's no structural defense to that. [01:33]
mircea_popescu: hence the thermobaric weapon [01:34]
punkman: "The armour is a composite sandwich, with boron carbide on the front face (a hard ceramic), followed by the metal foam, and either aluminium or kevlar on the rear face. The metal foam is made of 2mm-diameter hollow steel spheres in a stainless steel matrix." sounds expensive [01:37]
mircea_popescu: oya [02:26]
mircea_popescu: later tell diana_coman http://dpaste.com/1M6CPT3 [03:23]
gribble: The operation succeeded. [03:23]
mircea_popescu: in which the later tell service beats email. [03:23]
mircea_popescu: might consider implementing something like that trinque just in case gribble dies one day or something. [03:23]
punkman: http://yifan.lu/2016/04/06/the-3ds-cryptosystem/ [07:11]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449684 << site is down ? [09:03]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449672 << of ferfuxxsake, 'First - you pillage, Then - you burn!' - didn't they teach this in your viking school!? [09:06]
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu dig his garden with shovel, or with trotyl? [09:07]
asciilifeform: why did american army in vietnam, which had thermobaric bomb in abundance (invented it, in practice) continue to use legions of grunts with ordinary rifles? [09:09]
jurov: asciilifeform: yifan.lu was overran by hn [09:12]
asciilifeform: any idea why? [09:12]
jurov: how do you mean, why? it was just slashdotted [09:13]
asciilifeform: what the linked item was [09:13]
adlai: asciilifeform: 'asylum' of some sort, yes. it's quite a story! too long for logs, saving for the blog. [09:14]
asciilifeform: adlai: finally out, i take it? escaped? [09:14]
adlai: fun fact: if you 'hack' off your location broadcasting wristband, you're gonna forget it in your pocket when you leave, and have a Bad Time. [09:15]
jurov: asciilifeform: looking at google cache, it's about cracking nintendo 3ds [09:15]
asciilifeform: adlai: lulz [09:15]
adlai: asciilifeform: "I'm gonna walk right out the front door" (tm) [09:15]
adlai: later tell mircea_popescu submission for trilema movie reviews: Inside Man [09:15]
gribble: The operation succeeded. [09:15]
asciilifeform: jurov: ty for summary, now i can snore again, i never did and never will give a flying fuck re game consoles [09:17]
asciilifeform: srsly the original drm chumpers, buying, believe, ~whole computer~ built solely to make copying the gamez harder! [09:19]
asciilifeform: admittedly i find some of he '80s-'90s game machines interesting from a systems perspective, they had minimalistic iron and ran 'os-less' long into the era when x86 languished under microshit [09:21]
adlai: phf, trinque: either/both of y'all may be interested in https://github.com/adlai/scalpl/commit/019c10d (specific patch, rest of repo is relevant only to archaeologists) [09:22]
asciilifeform: but i never had the slightest desire to own one , esp. to use for intended purpose [09:22]
BingoBoingo: Nintendotron might be interesting to cannabalize for hardware walletotron, if only for its incredibly common plastic case. [10:21]
* shinohai would love to put trb on a gameboy one day [10:22]
deedbot-: [Qntra] FBI Director Comey Admits To Taping Over Webcam After Speech - http://qntra.net/2016/04/fbi-director-comey-admits-to-taping-over-webcam-after-speech/ [10:27]
jurov: BingoBoingo: did you read tfa? [10:28]
jurov: they explicitly point out it's overcomplicated and has thus big attack surface. so, no sane walletotron that way. [10:29]
jurov: phf just an idea: if someone comes up with a completely new (or very rare) word like the w-tron above, use it to link to previous convo? [10:33]
jurov: and it might actually bolster up creating good tmsr jargon [10:34]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449707 << z80 had 64k addr space... [10:38]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449706 << no rng [10:39]
asciilifeform: and why is the plastic case useful, i dun get it [10:40]
BingoBoingo: <jurov> they explicitly point out it's overcomplicated and has thus big attack surface. so, no sane walletotron that way. << I really don't mean keeping much in the way of hardware. Just a plastic case that arouses a wildly different kind of suspicion. [10:52]
asciilifeform: later tell mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2016/calidad-de-vida-or-my-days-among-the-cargo-cult/#comment-116959 [10:52]
gribble: The operation succeeded. [10:53]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you're playing physical camo games, why not hide the thing in old vase. in garden. up arse. etc [10:53]
BingoBoingo: Well there's that. [10:53]
asciilifeform: later tell phf can haz bookmarkable url that points to tip of the logz plox ? [10:55]
gribble: The operation succeeded. [10:55]
asciilifeform: ('last' oughta be 'magic' and point ALWAYS to the last line at any given moment) [10:56]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449684 << finally read this. i suppose this is not a bad time to remind folks of the 'arm' cpu being a lothesome piece of shit that i have 0 desire to use for anything if it can be avoided [10:58]
asciilifeform: (it is heavily unoptimized for human consumption and arm asm is a bitch to audit) [10:58]
asciilifeform: srsly the idiot archs always seem to win. [10:59]
BingoBoingo: Well, idiot arch encourages you to tape over your webcam as an act of resignation. [10:59]
asciilifeform: and i do not believe this to be in any reasonable sense a work of chance. [10:59]
asciilifeform: idiots support other idiots automatically, ideologically. [11:00]
asciilifeform: arm is ~blessed~ by hitler, much as x86 was. [11:00]
asciilifeform: and as such, must die (tm). [11:00]
asciilifeform: and yes, i ported trb to arm. as wartime wunderwaffen (which went nowhere.) [11:01]
asciilifeform: if we turn up a bucket of cheap crays somewhere, i will port it to cray.. [11:01]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at a comp sec convention 'shmoocon' they handed out, among other souvenirs, little plastic sliding shutters for webcams [11:03]
asciilifeform: pretty useless, most afflicted laptops won't properly close with the thing in [11:03]
asciilifeform: for the record, web cam shutters are lame [11:07]
asciilifeform: if you're pwned, you're pwned, shutter or no shutter [11:07]
asciilifeform: ~as if~ the most damaging thing to be lifted by attacker were picture of your face or arse ! [11:08]
asciilifeform: folks post these, believe, voluntarily! [11:08]
asciilifeform: microphone, i can see. [11:09]
asciilifeform: but camera ? [11:09]
oglafbot: http://oglaf.com/naturalcauses/ [11:10]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform some - with shovel other - with trotyl. yet another - with garden! [11:37]
mircea_popescu: adlai aite. [11:37]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what grunts what rifles. they "use" "mercenaries" who use them instead. [11:44]
asciilifeform: what mercenaries in vietnam ?? [11:45]
mircea_popescu: anyway, so i suppose in the "blogs that must be", we have "adlai - views from inside the insane asylum" and "phf - they have philosophy in russia even!" [11:45]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but i never had the slightest desire to own one , esp. to use for intended purpose << makes two^H^H^H all of us. [11:46]
mircea_popescu: wasn't vietnam right during arab fuel crisis ? :D [11:46]
asciilifeform: the surrender, was! [11:46]
asciilifeform: mega-coincidence, aha. [11:47]
mircea_popescu: jurov> and it might actually bolster up creating good tmsr jargon << this is actually not a bad idea. something like "every word that appears exaclty once before shall be linked to that instance. every word that appears only in linked references produced by the foregoing gets linked to the previous instance." [11:49]
mircea_popescu: on the theory that by now most common words appear more than once in the half gb log or w/e it is. [11:49]
asciilifeform: i suspect that almost all cases will be misspellings [11:49]
mircea_popescu: might need a little manual adding/substracting because obv some keywords also appear more than once, and in the future there may be false positives, but in general... [11:49]
mircea_popescu: maybe add a "a111 nuke misppealing" command for a111 [11:50]
mircea_popescu: which removes "misppealing" from the list [11:50]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform answer't your comment btw [11:51]
mircea_popescu: also, who was doing what so i can see the log line read in chat ? this is starting to drive me nuts. trinque ? phf ? [11:51]
asciilifeform: ^ [11:51]
phf: or perhaps just term foo or whatever command [11:51]
phf: mircea_popescu: can i get autovoice for a111? [11:52]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> idiots support other idiots automatically, ideologically. << they do. this is the most fascinating thing : how incredibly cultish idiocy actually is. [11:52]
mircea_popescu: basically cults are an attempt to emulate idiocy in higher functioning intellects. [11:52]
mircea_popescu: the reason it actually delivers useful work is specifically that idiot behaviours, as unthinking as they may be, are actually adaptive. [11:52]
mircea_popescu: and a functioning console still does more work than a "correct" computer with nonfunctioning gentoo on it. [11:53]
mircea_popescu: ("what do you mean it doesn't function ? yeah i didn't do anything useful with it since june last year, but I FUCKED WITH IT SIX HOURS EACH DAY SINCE!!11". ) [11:53]
mircea_popescu: phf alrighty. [11:53]
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2016/calidad-de-vida-or-my-days-among-the-cargo-cult/#comment-116961 << answrd [11:54]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes, it goes back to the 'blind loyalty' thread [11:54]
asciilifeform: and the teenager -ev thread [11:54]
mircea_popescu: right ? where was that, [11:55]
asciilifeform: thinking folks have chronic problems with forming spartan 'testudo' [11:55]
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/the-death-of-taxes/#footnote_4_55254 << thar. [11:55]
phf: i have a reverse osmosis machine that i carry from apartment to apartment, i then drill holes in granite countertops and such. still waiting for somebody to deduct the holes out of my security deposit.. [11:55]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it has ~nothing with thinking folks. i have seen this personally. the avenue is as such : thinking children are deliberately and ellaborately castrated by certain societies to become socially inept. the first thing that goes when socially inept is allaloisi menontes, as in http://trilema.com/2009/etimologia-democratiei/#selection-77.26-77.44 [11:57]
mircea_popescu: this is an exact mirror of how a different but overlapping set of societies deliberately and elaborately belames pretty girls to think "they can't do math". [11:58]
mircea_popescu: it's these specific lobotomies that allow "certain kinds" of societies to function. [11:58]
asciilifeform: the first thing that goes when socially inept is allaloisi menontes << elaborate ? [11:58]
mircea_popescu: so no, an inability to have friends is in no way related with intelligence in males just like an inability to add is not related to symmetrical facial features in females. [11:59]
mircea_popescu: read teh link! [11:59]
mircea_popescu: phf why would they ? [11:59]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my gr is weak [12:00]

mircea_popescu: win phf ty. [12:01]
asciilifeform: neato! [12:02]
mircea_popescu: check me out, i actually made a proper fucking english verse to translate greek! [12:02]
mircea_popescu: better than i managed in ro, ftm. [12:02]
mircea_popescu: helleniki to ro is a fucking nightmare of ages, nothing works right. NOTHING! [12:03]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how is 'tara, tara, vrem ostasi' played ? [12:03]
mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjQJIqf3xPI [12:04]
mircea_popescu: and ftr, just in case the kratos = power mind is strong and the verse reads "o noobs, fight shield to shield and never yield [to the enemy]", it is not. it is mide fygis aischris archete mide fovou, ""o noobs, fight shield to shield and never yield [to panic and a coward's flight] [12:06]
mircea_popescu: kratos = endurance. [12:06]

asciilifeform: gotta stay http://btcbase.org/log-last-entry [12:08]
phf: oh you mean so you can keep refreshing it? [12:08]
asciilifeform: aha. [12:09]
mircea_popescu: "why would anyone want this" re deedbot $up [12:09]
mircea_popescu: lol. [12:09]
phf: asciilifeform: wooord, ok [12:09]
asciilifeform: ty phf [12:09]
phf: asciilifeform: in a vaguely related note the way i've been reading is to click on the entry that i read last (whether it's last line or wherever in the logs) and then do refresh, which extends the log to new state, but keeps my context, something worth trying [12:11]
asciilifeform: phf: difficult on pNohe etc [12:11]
mircea_popescu: phf same here. [12:11]
asciilifeform: generally i don't even ~use~ the www logz when on an actual computer [12:11]
asciilifeform: (why? when i have the whole thing scrolling into eternity) [12:12]
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, on phone, you click on nick to get a link for entry [12:12]
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many peeps haven't ever loaded teh logs on a phone. [12:14]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly most? my understanding is that 'pNohe' is a usaschwitz/workingclass thing [12:14]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ~as if~ the most damaging thing to be lifted by attacker were picture of your face or arse ! << this is the case for about half the humans i physically interact with. think about that. [12:15]
asciilifeform: 133337 d000dz on dirigibles are never far from their cockpit, dun need no stinking pocket comp [12:15]

* mircea_popescu struts [12:15]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how does that preclude "most valuable" ? [12:16]
asciilifeform: does a leaked pr0n subtract, or add to, the value of future pics of same chick? [12:16]
asciilifeform: afaik it appears to be the latter ? [12:17]
mircea_popescu: i guess it all depends, neh ? [12:17]
asciilifeform: on what ? [12:17]
mircea_popescu: i have nfi! [12:17]

mircea_popescu: lol "get rekt". nb. [12:18]
asciilifeform: 'I created a proof of concept of this attack. This isn't enough to launch a real attack, because an attacker only has 16 bytes of DOS assembler code, which is very little.
