asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the moral of that snippet was that the folks somehow believed that they had a ~share~
adlai: butthurt? i'm froffflmfaong!
asciilifeform: i do not know enough to usefully say. but iirc mircea_popescu introduced him as 'fuck-you-moneyed' character.
asciilifeform: i was definitely not 'there' aha.
mircea_popescu: i was there for it - you weren't there for it. i tell you it was a lot more of this than of that. but yes both existed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '...in 2016 common people simply can not buy new miners, no matter what happens and how much money they're willing to spend...' << ahahaha precisely what i predicted when i showed up
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i missed the billion mit dollars thing ?
asciilifeform: hey recall, my main criticism of the demo run mircea_popescu gave me in '12 was 'i made too much coin investing in the exchange itself'
asciilifeform: though i can see one possible interesting, to civilians, item - that's a megatonne of coin that is now in circulation again.
asciilifeform: was trying to get measure of how thick i am.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interesting. am i thick or what am i missing, but afaik 0 implications in re the things that i do...
asciilifeform: jurov: ah i think that was it.
shinohai: For your viewing pleasure: https://i.imgur.com/VqLqb6l.jpg
____: i'm only a n00b :P
____: lol i messed up my nick
mircea_popescu: i meant the wot
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c i dun recall what you answered. are you planning to move btcalpha over to deedbot data or ?
mircea_popescu: with apologies for sullying the logs with the ditties of imbeciles, under promise i shan't do it again this year, let us quote.
punkman: continuity would be definitely worth something to new owner is what I'm saying
pete_dushenski: or speak to where exactly 'line in sand' is for resolutions, though i suppose this can be inferred from sums in given accounting columns
pete_dushenski: i can't help but lol at zaz when compared and contrasted with the lexus lfa mega-manufacturing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A2s61rT_30 (those uninterested in cars, but fascinated by either carbon fibre, circular textile looms(!), or simply obsessive engineering and exactitude will likely find this latter one of interest)
mircea_popescu: let the permanent record permanently reflect that the horrible company i keep drives me to sin darker than damnation itself.
punkman: I haven't read it
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "i can't picture how cat could piss on this item".
asciilifeform: punkman: i can't even picture how that could be hollywoodized
asciilifeform: i actually read it on the airplane.
mircea_popescu: but yes, pretty much everyone with serious cultural immersion in anglosphere said the same re tolkien. what can i say, i'll take yer word for it.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read early medieval poetry - and i've not done that in a decade or more. no shortage of stuff to read.
asciilifeform: but i see where mircea_popescu is going from.
asciilifeform: generally i don't let idiots operate my garbage collector.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform had i never read the original prior, yes, it would have been marked for shit.
asciilifeform: mega-backbreaker of a b00k, i actually never met anyone who read it as an adult
mircea_popescu: i never partook.
mircea_popescu: shitty google srsly. what, i'm going to click wikipedia links now ? isn't even in my dns list.
mircea_popescu: but other than this bit of lolz, i dunno who the fuck would care what messi does.
mircea_popescu: i half-considered doing a list of people anglosphere doesn't want listed, but meh.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think Rush Limbaugh invented the word lamestream
mircea_popescu: other than lamestream which seems a superb construction (didjha invent it bb ?), i have nfi what you ppl are saying!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have nfi what is being done there!
mircea_popescu: http://www.jameslafond.com/?f=site << craziest shit i've ever seen.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you're seriously driving 1/4-1/3 of all his traffic i guess
mircea_popescu: in other news : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi6AzHM6sJ0 << christina applegate of obscure chicago area cable show uses "i'm jelly" for the first time, spawning a meme that liquefied much shit hence her time!
mike_c: unless you are sneaker-netting I don't see how making me go to a different URL everytime helps anything
mike_c: and znc I have tried and failed with in the past. possibly just user stupidity.
mike_c: why evil. as long as I have to type in my passphrase..
ben_vulpes: the last time i fucked with bouncers, let's say.
ben_vulpes: ftr it has been utterly rock solid for me since...i don't even remember.
mike_c: hm. ok, I'll check that out
mircea_popescu: then he calls Ștrul. "hey, i sent over some guys to cut up your wood" "who ?" "same guys you sent last month to dig my garden"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i don't suppose anyoen read Ițic Ștrul, Dezertor (Isaac Trouble, Deserter) ?
mike_c: and I don't know about bouncer = script.. curl | gpg -d is pretty easy
mike_c: :) I like it.
mike_c: ah. no, i don't know this one
pete_dushenski: i have some more fiddling to do with trb it seems.
pete_dushenski: so i've now learned as well
trinque: sometimes I saw double, sometimes zero, sometimes negative by amount of fee
trinque: pete_dushenski: that's what I was talking about re: -lows
pete_dushenski: trb related : has anyone else had bizarre 'balance' behaviour ? i'm seeing double over here.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what he was thinking to do that, but w/e.
trinque: I must have filthy python habits, thought it'd know when the lisp was written later
trinque: phf: how do I keep my fasl from being out of sync with changes to the lisp ?
trinque: I'm fixing some issue with gpg that's messing up $up
mircea_popescu: afair it was the only trim i consistently used.
phf: no, but i can add that, search is entirely reworked, since it's essentially grep by text only, so i'll have to refine it bit by bit anyway
phf: replacing http://log.bitcoin-assets.com with http://btcbase.org/log/ will work as long as i add ?date=dd-mm-yyyy handler
phf: i'm going to deploy to the same machine as btcbase, so the log url is going to be btcbase.org/log/
mircea_popescu: phf i dun recall what you answered, will i be able to update log references in trilema with a single sql statement ?
mircea_popescu: tho honestly a) i see no difference between "modernity" and "lazy stupidity" ; b) i see no clear reason high clock speeds are necessarily related to stupidity.
mircea_popescu: hey, i have no argument with the "dram is a pain in the ass to do hands on stuff to"
midnightmagic: but.. i mean insigificantly for mining purposes..
asciilifeform: oh and ftr i fucking hate dram
mircea_popescu: i guess so huh.
asciilifeform: what i was talking about is that branching is why you can't sign program state, because of combinatorial explosion.
mod6: oh do i understand you correctly on the branching problem -- if the stackframes are signed, how will i know (in advance) which address to jump to if all addresses are assigned at run time?
mod6: heheh. i'll have to scroll back.
mod6: was weird. maybe i took the acid.
mod6: you know what i'm trying to say?
mod6: i dunno, on some weird paranoia tangent of trying to "only execute what alf said was good."
asciilifeform: i dun get it
asciilifeform: for all i know they are already shipping evil chip.
asciilifeform: nor will ddr2 dram remain available for long, i suspect
mod6: i was like WOAH.jpg
mod6: i had this dream lastnight that alf called me and wanted to tell me about this new method of processing... but i couldn't hear him very well as I was going through this tunnel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun see s.nsa patent-pending anything ?
asciilifeform: the kind of thing i assumed the existing producers HAD IN 2012
shinohai: It' a nice balmy 75 degrees here today, and I sit outside on my patio to irc.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'ma guess it was some variant of satcoin
mod6: i hear you there. fuck, still snowing in my sector.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "science" as the metaphysical concept. it's not what you and i mean by the proper term.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the reason i said 'not only intellectual property' is that cn is happy to piss on american patents but STILL continues to churn out straight knockoffs of usg crud
mod6: eh M0 i guess
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd say the concept of pow was not well researched altogether, at that point.
mod6: (17:57) <+mircea_popescu> shinohai> I see there is no way shinohai can just donate the shares back to qntra and forget about it all. << you can prolly instruct jurov to sell them and donate proceeds to foundation say. << this is exactly the correct approach. this way we take a btc donation (tyvm!) and we continue to only hold M1
midnightmagic: memory-hard POW wasn't really researched well i don't think back when bitcoin was invented.
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf they were thinking putting it in the chip rather than the ram. i guess nobody could have predicted mp kills moore together with gavin.
mircea_popescu: and we - by which i mean mostly not me - should be buying, at least by the pound.
asciilifeform: btw i found that old opteron is being sold surplus by the tonne
asciilifeform: i just installed spiffy upgrade in january, from circa-'06 to '08 opteronz!
asciilifeform: mips is ~100 lines of verilog, if i had to pick an arch we could potentially bake one day, i'd pick that.
mircea_popescu: anyway this pipermail list... when i see all the shitty signatures i get nausea.
