asciilifeform: astonishing that i managed to get an irc terminal going here
phf: asciilifeform is like a study into usg foot soldier culture, sometimes i feel like he relishes in the role
davout: probably the 'office' part if i had to guess
deedbot-: [Trilema] La tati ni-i greu, or "The pervy Romanians - etnobotanical study" - http://trilema.com/2016/la-tati-ni-i-greu-or-the-pervy-romanians-etnobotanical-study/
asciilifeform: git in my mind is inextricably linked with things i want to get away from and never see again.
asciilifeform: Mar 29 09:46:10 <phf>asciilifeform: https://github.com/cgwalters/git-evtag i know snore, but sort of follow up to recent git conversation << extreme sn0resportz
mircea_popescu: ;;google site:trilema.com "la tati ni-i greu"
phf: asciilifeform: https://github.com/cgwalters/git-evtag i know snore, but sort of follow up to recent git conversation
BingoBoingo: dat hedge https://i.imgur.com/FFFKjmI.jpg
asciilifeform: as i described in #b-a
asciilifeform: i wrote a good bit of this
phf: fwiw lisp no consing strategy is same, i.e preallocate things
asciilifeform: sorta how you budget for max-whatever for every category, so as never to have to say 'i cannot pay the electric bill'
mod6: i had to look it all up in the reference
mod6: i think i was just trying to follow that thread in my own sense of it.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> as in, re-use the blocks sanely. << ok so we'd have to therefore keep a 'free list' - a list of objects/items that have been deleted and are "recycled" and may be used again or I suppose we could then call 'Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation' on an item in the free list to shink the list thereby reclaiming the memory.
asciilifeform: in other nyooz, the immunocompromise thing was accurate, already folks who oughta know better, on old planet, asked me if i'd host a powerranger idiot repo 'for trb'
asciilifeform: i recall this, iirc you nail their legs to the floor also
asciilifeform: i've never farmed ducks, are they typically debeaked ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many fine jewish boys helped the ducks being fattened swallow their peas with the peanis.
asciilifeform: it is in an old b00k of sexpathology i have somewhere.
mircea_popescu: i never heard that one.
asciilifeform: and i suspect meant 'fuckable opening'
mircea_popescu: i'll believe when i see it.
asciilifeform: and yeah i'm pretty sure we had it here.
mircea_popescu: i meant more in the sense of you'd have to be an idiot to need it, but neways.
asciilifeform: i will point out that it is possible to build a physical machine that behaves as if it were possible to have multiple memories, and auto-defrags the space
mircea_popescu: but "i" talked to all these moorexperts!
mircea_popescu: explain this to me. how do i write ada-bitcoin with variable-sized blocks ?
asciilifeform: i will give example pertaining to bignum/crypto
mircea_popescu: you know "me", i'm a coder. i'd do anything rather than think.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i gotta write my own malloc every time
mircea_popescu: tbh i like the new rested ny-steak&snark mike_c much better than the tired one!
asciilifeform: (but then again i have 'pretty close' to working postgres db in phuctor, so there)
asciilifeform: fwiw i have pretty close to a working bignumatron in ada.
mircea_popescu: and as an added benefit i'm no longer the young man i used to be, doing 100+ articles/month like 2010
mike_c: yes, baby is a bit bigger, and new job is settling in. life is manageable again (or will be once I've caught up on trilema + logs)
mike_c: heh, sponges. I've got a lot of log reading to do..
mod6: i'll catch up by the time im like 394 years old.
mod6: lol, first SoBA to have literally no activity. i gotta grind hard in April i think.
mod6: speaking of which, i literally did jack fuck all this past month on trb
mike_c: not much up - I got my life settled a bit and came back and have been working my way through the shitstorm that hit around here.
asciilifeform: mod6: right now it's mainly kako, phf, and i
mod6: <+asciilifeform> now i could be wrong, perhaps it ~won't~ become a magnet for the vermin that were previously shot on sight << already is!
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-10-2014#856353 << possible starting point, but i misplace the mega-thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: i will give example, of the precious few 'gifts of the learned monks',
mircea_popescu: anyway. i also recommend hamiltonians for they interested in becoming less dumb in finance & economy than the famous sheep of http://trilema.com/2010/rabinul-si-oaia/
mircea_popescu: anyway, alf : we share in teh ideals. lemme convict the man for wearing down the rails deliberately after i see the superconducting magnetorail in operation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform last i checked with the learned monks, they didn't even have a FUCKING CIPHER
mircea_popescu: yay us , i guess.
asciilifeform: i can see at least a dozen effective variants of fix.
mircea_popescu: i am not sure this one is on his hump.
asciilifeform: briefly back to thread, i credit miner cartel, as i did in the beginning, as the INEVITABLE consequence of satoshi IDIOCY
asciilifeform: anyway i'm a (p0000r) whore today, fwiw.
asciilifeform: but i have less excuse than most, i followed the subject before it was a subject, had my own crackpot bitcoin, unpublished, a decade ago, etc.
asciilifeform: generally it is not an interesting line of thought, it is on par with 'if i knew today's lottery number last week'
asciilifeform: if i had even so much as mined on the ~fpgas that i already owned~ when the thing began, i would be in neighbouring dirigible to mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: i walked the razor blade for a very long time, ended up very p0000r for it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i grasped this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i buy the miner cartel! if you recall, i walked into #b-a with miner cartel.
asciilifeform: this is the exact point where i disagreed, the last time we did this thread and were interrupted
mircea_popescu: i'm not going anywhere.
asciilifeform: cartel of miners is something that plausibly may exist, as i said before. but i do not see it as the ~necessary hypothesis~
mircea_popescu: identify the pairs in this example for my benefit cuz i dun see any relation ?
asciilifeform: but i hold that (b) is more reasonable hypothesis ipso facto.
mircea_popescu: so i will.
asciilifeform: whereas i've modelled sybilatrons for ages.
mircea_popescu: i would expect it to be dissolvable on purely formal grounds, because the whole thing is nothing other and nothing more than a nominal attempt. but dunno why this isn't obvious.;
asciilifeform: i believe that mircea_popescu is a clever fella, and that, given the prior available to HIM, it 'necessarily doesn't'
mircea_popescu: there is an outstanding issue ; i dunno how much you actually still credit the (separate network - not miner cartel) theory. i dunno how to approach that to make it plain to you it holds no water. tho it necessarily doesn't.
asciilifeform: when i asked re: the cartel, i got : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432648 ☝︎
ben_vulpes: nevertheless, ask i did, and answer of some sort i received.
ben_vulpes: i asked "why did you not bring this before the forum first?", and received "what, /you/ idiots?", from which i derive that i am not to expect answers, and if to not expect answer why ask?
mircea_popescu: well now. alf's easily disposed of : bitbet did in fact go into such receivership ; i have little doubt ben_vulpes is doing things. so that's that.
asciilifeform: i recall this.
ben_vulpes: when i asked, you said "none of you dickbags get off your asses and actually do anything, why would i ask of you one whit"
mircea_popescu: also, i see absolutely no reason why log continuity would be disrupted ?!
trinque: or what did the declaration I signed mean?
trinque: ben_vulpes │ ... and recognizing the futility-cum-insubordination of a footsoldier asking anything << what foot soldier was this? All I saw was a Ricky from Trailer Park Boys impersonation shouting words he heard on terribly written TV about biznis
phf: diana_coman: right, thread was for myself rather then others, and i found what i was looking for. i just couldn't keep dodging snark and "shit in soup" every other sentence, so had to make that detour
diana_coman: ah, no, I meant more of the rate-me-rate-you variety really
ben_vulpes: i'm entirely guilty of seeing something that my raven-eye finds shiny and reacting with "neat" or "nifty" or "cool"
diana_coman: and moreover I have to say that a bit earlier in b-a I had this uneasy feeling that people were patting one another on the back, maybe it was just me
ben_vulpes: "but if the cost of having continuity is to be shackled to dem000cracy (tm alf), i'll happily shed the continuity to be rid of the cows"?
ben_vulpes: diana_coman: "change is the only constant!" (d,tmr~). i've no desire for communiteh and happiness and being in a room where everyone gets along. but the logs were valuable in their own right, for as long as they had that continuity.
ben_vulpes: i am fully torn between the poles of wanting to understand why mircea_popescu burned the coins to make the point, desperately wanting continuity with the logs-as-they-were, and recognizing the futility-cum-insubordination of a footsoldier asking anything
diana_coman: kakobrekla is basically an unknown quantity to me, I must add
pete_dushenski: 'ma, i'm out of proteen powdah!'
diana_coman: aha, thanks for the clarification phf ; I did follow the whole thread but I can't say I actually caught this intent of yours as such
phf: diana_coman: just to clarify, the framing was deliberate and part of a larger thread. when i started conversation kakobrekla and nubbins were both trigger happy and aggressive, the purpose of the entire thread was to figure out where they stand by softening their disposition. talking in terms of competency (worded as a hypothetical accusation to be weighted by a hypothetical court) has proven effective in the past in clarifying kakobrekla's thinki
mircea_popescu: i mean on a 80% sort of approach, sure, no problem
phf: i only just realized that..
mircea_popescu: phf> asciilifeform: how's conversation links going to work? << this is actually a rather complex problem. i suspect they well might not work at all.
mircea_popescu: aaand i tire of the derpage heh.
mircea_popescu: dproberts i imagine is to be the derpy guy with a "drugs market" that couldn't sell a bag of coke ; also ordered some "murders for highre".
danielpbarron: aegis is some guy i traded a bunch of cash in the mail with, and then flipped out over something i don't even recall what, but it was back when i was in otc
asciilifeform: now i could be wrong, perhaps it ~won't~ become a magnet for the vermin that were previously shot on sight
asciilifeform: but note, i did predict, classical b-a will die an immunocompromised death, without mircea_popescu's ddt spray
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i for one had nfi there ~was~ a 'bench'
phf: kind of like a fellah who heard girl he fancies broke up, "hey, how's it going! yeah, i've just been in the neighborhood, oh you broke up? too bad.... so is there anyone on the horizon???"
