Revolutionary Cypherpunks stated wish to kill the president
by professor rat 17 Aug '22

17 Aug '22

This project is a decade or more older than any blockchained cryptocurrency still in use today. It deserves more publicity by all self-described cypherpunks. It has earned virality. Even if most ' cypherpunks ' form a circle of eunuchs united against anarchist direct-action. Exposing carpetbaggers is a significant side-benefit of ' propaganda of the deed ' for the hard-core revolutionist Its like ' skin in the game ' for crypto-currency enthusiasts. PUT UP or SHUT UP. >>> The note, which mentioned the names of the judges hearing the case, read: “I will share the same ‘DEATH THREAT!!!’ with Judges Fletcher, Nelson, and Bright that I have shared with the President and a host of Congressional and Senatorial representatives. ‘You can fuck some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you are going to end up in a body bag or a pine box before you manage to fuck all of the people all of the time.’ Am I going to whack you out? Maybe…” <<< https://www.wired.com/1999/04/free-speech-on-trial-in-tacoma/ LETS GO BRANDON

Obama and Trump Administrations compared
by professor rat 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

Clearly Trump was less harmful than Obama since Trump didn't set up a Potemkin-democracy in Burma. Disclosure - I supported McCain over Bambi, then Bambi over Mittens then Trump over Ratched politically only. Voting in nationalist elections being against my anarchist 'religion '. To those who say Obama had more time that's true. But I'm talking about a qualitive comparo. And lets not forget how much LESS damage both these dropkicks did compared to LBJ and Dubya. I give the anarchic internet full credit for ending this extended bi-partisan crime spree from 65 - 05 that also included Iran-Contra. Maybe not " Death to America! " but still at least " Long slow lingering fatal illness to America ".

1410 k let's make multithreading work 1431 return self.peer_stream(txid, range=range) File "/home/ubuntu/src/pyarweave/ar/peer.py", line 1062, in peer_stream return io.BufferedReader(PeerStream.from_txid(self, txid), 0x40000) File "/home/ubuntu/src/pyarweave/ar/stream.py", line 12, in from_txid tx_offset = ar.Transaction.frombytes(peer.unconfirmed_tx2(txid)).offset AttributeError: 'Transaction' object has no attribute 'offset' i'll just spend some time learning how to get the offset of a transaction from its binary object. looks like a bug in my pyarweave library. very inhibited, so the task change is actually helpful. 1431 boss 1: "why are u vomiting everywhere" boss 2: "i ate an ai i'm so sorry please excuse me" [vomits left] [vomits right] boss 1: "dude we have messed up software developers to do that for you" boss 2: [vomits] 1433 1436 i'll have fun checking out the function in arweave that calculates the offset 1439 https://github.com/ArweaveTeam/arweave/blob/master/apps/arweave/src/ar_data… i wonder if i've reviewed this before 1629 just got the same checksum from a multithreaded upload, as download. major threshold :) met my hard subgoal. met it !! 1631 i'm going to use my goal coping stating of mind to try to add more features, like gps and photo capturing, and system logs, while recording is running. 1640 thinking about how much it would help to analyse problems to have blockchained logs. thinking about it stimulates lots of inhibition ^_^ 1641 1657 k i'm confused around this; i'll take it slowly. previously the generator produced a sequence of data chunks and the storer uploaded each one now each one has a type. some of these make sense to upload, some make sense to include raw. it's no longer a list of things to just pop and upload: one needs now to consider the order in which they are uploaded. when they are indexed, the indexer has to wait for stuff, so it can put a few in concatenated. it makes sense to separate the types out for the concatenation: accumulate separately for each type. if the types are separated out, this would happen after storing, since storing operates in parallel. it would make sense for the concatenation to happen at the end of storing. 1706 ok the storers retain an index in order to keep things in the right order while operating in multiple threads. ummmmm atm in the implementation, _all_ the events are ordered. ok. hum. 1714 to handle multiple binary streams i'll need to add channels to flat_tree . leaves two unstable things at once, so my plan is to have only 1 binary stream for now. 1715 actually i'm fudging it so it only tracks the length of one stream, but lets them all be there 1720 doing my goal-focus thing as stuff pushes away from my task 1747 there's a bug, it's associated with disorganization in my code. i've seen it before. i feel frustrated, exhasperated, unneccessarily. the small weakness opens big space for inhibition. there are a few things going on at once. i'll focus on a different bug immediately. might not be the best choice. 1757 so what i seem to settle into is a state of mind where i have an extended sense of what i call 'inhibition'. it's a set of intense experiences that i usually respond to by leaving my current task. what's interesting, is that i'm in a state of mind where i can keep working some. it's hard, confusing, but happens. i guess it built a little out of the 'dissociated' working, where at base i would just copy code back and forth. it's really unpleasant and i'd like to find something different or a way to improve it. it is of course great that i can continue to do some work. 1758 i'm thinking about it a little bit, and i can kind of feel in me that there are some ways i might improve it, similar to how i started this. thinking of just doing a little bit, and getting better at that. i could pair it with some distance. there are inner spaces that are hard to describe, but maybe it's really reasonable, unsure. 1759. 1805 - the extra 'None' output appeared to be just a wrapping line of debug output. helps to turn off debug output for dependency. - ... presently 3MB turned into 1.7MB, likely truncated. 2106 i've observed a repeating race condition in the multithreaded uploader that produces an unending hang. this is only happenign with the new code, but occurs in the old code. it looks to me like the right solution is to change the layout, which is more work than i planned for. spending some time thinking about how things could be easier for me. not sure what to think on this, but it seems like what makes sense to consider. getting up in the morning is so hard. physically and cognitively. it's like a puzzle, finding parts that will do it. i've been finding them a little more readily, thinking of the strategies i came up with from the second chapter of that book, but it's not the be all and end all -- i have dissociation and dyskinesia and amnesia and other similar stuff, that can really make things confusing and complex. some of the behaviors i've built over the past two days work, but they don't feel right. the dissociation associated with them is very palpable. i have a state of mind where i'm working that i'd like to protect better. similar to where i'm getting up. but i guess getting my parts able to do these things is a step towards a solution. thinking of addressing this enough to get through much of it is such an incredibly different viewpoint from years past. there is a lot that goes undescribed. lots of important things. 2110 the goal is to reduce the inhibition. sleeping is not my favorite thing all the time. my inhibitions can sometimes seem to strengthen a lot. maybe there are things to think about around that. the goal is to reduce the inhibition. we can also skill build around goals and behaviors, but it seems stronger sometimes to reduce the inhibition. 2113 2115 tomorrow is tuesday the 16th. i'm working on moving some code inside multicapture.py, so as to accommodate when a network exception is thrown after popping an item off the queue to process

‘We’re starting to live in a fascist state’

Gramps, sorry, Giuliani on being told he’s target of election probe: ‘We’re starting to live in a fascist state’ He knows all about them from constant practice. Nada to do now but man a fort. To launch attacks under favorable circumstances is not only every anarchist revolutionary’s right, but their plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, commissars, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising—such operations are already being carried out wherever insurrection is rife.

Sustained over a long enough period - say two Friedman Units - I'll even be recommending to council that your deadpool be converted to a trust-fund.

Social mapping out of perceived enemies

If Journo Julio was an accident and Pastor Craig was a coincidence then Semich means war. But we might suspend counter-intelligence on this himbo-eruption since the first two are so self-negating. Julio is reportedly near death and Craig is brain-dead - so this list threat is not acute. Where social-mapping out might assist our cause better is a left-fascists alternative to this . . . https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-strange-strange-story_b_136697 That is - where Johann described a phenomenon on the RIGHT we could use one of these exposes for the Marxist-Communist LEFT.

Anyone who admits obstructing and disrupting this list to the point users are telling them to ' stop spamming asshole ' I'm guessing is motivated by hatefilled hostility. Noting Semich continues to evade my query over several bs passive-aggressive ' responses' only confirms this. The question relates directly to previous attacks in a similar vein by admitted austistic-spectrum c-punks. Craig Wright and Julian Assmange. Both self-described autistic spectrum in court, under oath, this year. To put it another way " Why shouldn't list members regard Karl Semich as someone on the autistic spectrum that's attacking us? " Maybe he won't deny it cos he can't deny it - he knows its true. His engagements so far with this reek of bad-faith bullshit. If the Semich anti-slavery campaign was a brand of dog-food they would be taking it off the shelves. STOP SPAMMING ASSHOLE. You are shaping up as a vector for attacks. Just STOP IT.

Unlike Marxist and Austro-libertarian types ( Hi Juan and Gramps!) , anarchists oppose slavery. Social-democracy without freedom is brutality and slavery. But our task is not made easier when our lines of communication & reputations are attacked. Attacked for example by self-declared, autistic-spectrum, cypherpunks. Just recently - this year - its come out that Pastor Craig Wright and Journalist Julian Assmange fit this description. Which made me wonder about you. Your style of attacking this anti-slavery, anarchists list aligns in some respects with theirs. The hate-filled hostility is palpable. But this is no longer the Randite 90's list where such attacks were perfectly justified. That was then - this is now. And this is when cypherpunks is slowly rising up to live out the true meaning of their creed - so that anarchism of, for and by free-people shall not perish from this space.

one cool thing about the second chapter of that cult book is how the author, just like me, had to struggle so hard to just read single lines of non-cult things they wanted to read. and then they learned to read pages. and to demonstrate comprehension of what was on the pages. and then they got a degree in psychology. i've been trying for some time to relearn to write code, but i'm thinking maybe i can go about it other ways, inspired by this story. i still want to try to do the random writes thing. i found an interesting step for me is to reorganize my audio dataformat to be more flexible. there are other approaches too. another thing, talking with my therapist, one thing he says is kinda like "so what if it is scary, so what if you have a psychotic break, so what if you perceive yourself as damaging your cognition?" and there are pros and cons to that idea, as i have experienced cognitive damage in my opinion, when i've pushed myself too hard to go against my grain, and i have various stories and patterns around that that i haven't found an ear for yet: but regarding pros, it opens up another space where one can try things from a place of increased potential for insanity. and if you know the things really well, and have gotten them really simple, then you can maybe do them without going insane in those more edgy spaces. just ideas, but i get the impression they might be near mainstream stuff. so i was thinking like: - practicing smaller parts of the work. just keeping at it. like in the book how the guy relearned to read. - studying computer science. algorithm theory, proofs. i never studied much of this cause i learned so young i didn't really need a degree. - trying to figure out patterns in the work that can help one engage it when more dissociated i.e. that just make it simpler basically, relearning it, as if one is an idiot and never knew it. i may be "an idiot" you never know for certain right [and may even demonstrate some things clearly]? and kind of finding ways maybe to sustain energy on it that somehow develops, in ways that work. the difference between me and what the author wrote is that i have psychotic breaks, dyskinesia, amnesia, etc etc when i focus hard on [things i want to focus on]. so i take it a little carefully and have coping strategies like posting to this list as a way to hold some.

Karl - I think you're projecting since there is more evidence you are a bot than me. For example - I think I provide more signal than noise here than you. I can prove that. And my particular where-abouts are bravely known whereas yours remain a cowardly generality. But if it bothers you that I may be a bot them I'm happy enough with that situation moving forward. Those whom the Deadpool Gods wish to destroy they first make mad. You mad, K?

Is Karl Semich on the autistic spectrum?
by professor rat 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

It might be worth establishing the truth or otherwise of that in light of cypherpunks, Craig Wright and Julian Assmange both recently establishing in sworn testimony that they are on the autistic spectrum. Long time list target, William Henry Gates, is often described as being autistic. And any *NOISE* attack on our environment calls for a measured response. Especially one involving anarchist-hating cypherpunks.

Kaspersky lost business after a sustained attack by major American newspapers
by professor rat 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

Not all journalists are scumbags - but most journalists are scumbags >>> Kaspersky lost its business with the US public sector a few years ago after a sustained attack by major American newspapers, claiming it was leaking data to Russian intelligence services, a claim the company strongly denied. Since then the firm has cut back operations in that country and set up so-called transparency centres where companies can sign up to look at the source code of its products. <<< https://itwire.com/business-it-news/security/german-call-for-replacement-of… Reposts etc

Kaspersky AV provided a way to identify a computer storing known NSA hacking tools?
by professor rat 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

>>> WSJ reported in 2017 that the Kaspersky Anti-Virus software Pho was running on his home computer led the Russian security firm to discover that Pho had the NSA’s hacking tools on the machine. Somehow (the implication is that Kaspersky alerted the Russian government) that discovery led Russian hackers to subsequently target Pho’s computer and steal the files. In response to the WSJ report, Kaspersky issued their own report (here’s a summary from Kim Zetter). It acknowledged that Kaspersky AV had pulled in NSA tools after triggering on a known indicator of NSA compromise (the report claimed, and you can choose to believe that or not, that Kaspersky had deleted the most interesting parts of the files obtained). But it also revealed that in that same period, Pho had briefly disabled his Kaspersky AV and downloaded a pirated copy of Microsoft Office, which led to at least one backdoor being loaded onto his computer via which hostile actors would have been able to steal the NSA’s crown jewels <<< https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/08/14/18-usc-793e-in-the-time-of-shadow-bro… Reposts etc

Google Program to Free Chips Boosts University Semiconductor Design
by jim bell 13 Aug '22

https://www.hpcwire.com/2022/08/11/google-program-to-free-chips-boosts-univ… August 11, 2022 A Google-led program to design and manufacture chips for free is becoming popular among researchers and computer enthusiasts. The search giant’s open silicon program is providing the tools for anyone to design chips, which then get manufactured. Google foots the entire bill, from a chip’s conception to delivery of the final product in a user’s hand. Google’s Open MPW program includes an open-source design toolkit from a company called EFabless, which also manages the program. Enthusiasts and researchers have to submit their chip design, which then gets manufactured in the factories of SkyWater on the 130nm process. The submission deadline for the latest Open MPW program is September 12. Open MPW’s popularity can be measured by the number of projects using Efabless’ EDA tools. Chips from about 240 open-source silicon projects via Efabless’ tools will be manufactured in Skywater’s factories, Mike Wishart, CEO of Efabless. “The total projects posted on our site are like 570. That has gone extremely well. It’s diverse, from 25 countries,” Wishart said. Efabless had about 160 tapeouts in 2021, and had no tapeouts in 2020. Efabless provides a simple design EDA tool to make chips, which is mostly about dragging and dropping the core elements inside a chip. An open-source PDK (process design kit) prepares the chip for fabrication in factories. The Open MPW program added recent partners, including the U.S. Department of Defense, which last month poured $15 million into the project to get open-source chips made on SkyWater’s 90nm process. GlobalFoundries also joined the alliance and will also manufacture chips on the 180nm node. The manufacturing technology provided through the project is very old, but it is cost-effective. Intel, Apple and others make expensive chips on the more advanced processes such as 5nm, which uses cutting-edge technology and provides the fastest computing in devices. Open MPW is popular in academia and research, and for those experimenting or testing chips and need small batches, Wishart said. “Our incentive is to make it simple for more and more people and grow a community around those executing designs… [on] nodes that are more accessible to them and therefore lower costs,” Wishart said. Typically, chips can be expensive to manufacture, and factories are open to corporations. But Open MPW makes factories available to researchers and students. “There was an unmet need in academia, that was overwhelming and not appreciated because they didn’t know what they could get,” Wishart said. The open-source toolkits cover the full concept of chip development, from conceptualization to delivery of parts. Some universities may have deals with chip factories, but students at the undergraduate, master’s and PhD programs still have poor awareness of chip fabrication.

Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police
by professor rat 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police, and this is the most hotly-disputed argument of Anarchism. Yet the police force as we know it is a comparatively modern phenomenon, fiercely resisted when introduced for reasons which have since been proved up to the hilt, such as the ability of the Police to introduce or bolster up a dictatorship, known indeed as a police state. Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army. Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all.
