adlai: thestringpuller:
i was gonna link you to `!s from:ascii ersatz` but you're right there
danielpbarron: loooky here, either converse with me or
i silence you
danielpbarron: nope
i'm up despite taking a pretty substantial loss on bitbet
ascii_field: and as
i understand, receiver needs the technical ability to unravel kakobrekla's code
mircea_popescu:
i don't specifically care. as long as the person seems competent... hey.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
i was thinking, interviews. think senate hearings for appointees.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: unless
i misread, there is no way it can fully pay out bettors
mircea_popescu:
i'd really ask folk in b-a with busienss experience to seriously consider doing this. a clean close-down of a bitcoin venture would be truly an absolute first.
jurov: ben_vulpes: and
i also have some 0.8btc skin in it
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes:
i'd open a perimutuel bet that nassim who play receiver, but
i don't trust betmoooose
ascii_field:
i have equally little business telling lee sedol how to play
ben_vulpes:
i've been told that
i have no business saying anything about bitbet's business, ascii_field.
pete_dushenski: thank goodness
i've been wearing my plague mask in the bedroom of late. it brought me luck!
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2016 20:51:27; mircea_popescu: anyway, to be perfectly clear,
i don't think kakobrekla did anything wrong at any juncture, nor am
i privately holding anything against the man. while the outcome is miserable,
i dun think there's necessarily much that could have been done to prevent it.
mircea_popescu: well what the fuck,
i'm not leaving this in my will fee tail.
ben_vulpes: "
I will simply consider the matter moot." << and keep bettor funds if no receiver steps forward?
☟︎☟︎ pete_dushenski:
i always found it incredible how prominent and successful bbet was, and how little profit it generated from its nearly monopolistic position
mircea_popescu: anyway, to be perfectly clear,
i don't think kakobrekla did anything wrong at any juncture, nor am
i privately holding anything against the man. while the outcome is miserable,
i dun think there's necessarily much that could have been done to prevent it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in spite of being uncharacteristically verbose for a human being... apparently
i don't write everything either.
ascii_field:
i suppose it is true that inventor never has half a clue re the long term.
mircea_popescu:
i invent things by degrees and
i can't always and on the button answer as to the logic of things. they go in a context.
i know for a fact the arrangement make sense in 2012, but entirely hazy as to the reasoning.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> bbet long pre-dates my study of mircea_popescutronics, and
i have nfi <<< it's not terribly clear to me either, after all these years.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: creditors first, aha, after
i asked,
i remembered this
ascii_field: bbet long pre-dates my study of mircea_popescutronics, and
i have nfi, was the plan that it could never incur unexpected expense ?
ascii_field: also
i realized that
i never learned what was the logic for 0asset operations ?
ascii_field: is this traditional? (
i am not connected with any of this, merely curious how it worx)
☟︎ ascii_field: anyway while
i expect to eventually be smashed into pieces,
i do not expect anyone to actually pick any of them up. nor do
i really give a damn.
ascii_field:
i dun think
i ever actually saw mircea_popescu pick up pieces.
ascii_field:
i can more easily see mircea_popescu raising a guerilla army in nepal or the like.
mircea_popescu: that
i'm perpetually going to pick up the pieces.
i'm not.
mircea_popescu:
i must say the experience has been rather sobering as to all sorts of naive assumptions as to value, wealth and economics in the bitcoin world.
ascii_field:
i already stand on th board with only one foot, in having lately to spend virtually all of my time working on idiotic rubbish so as to pay the rent.
ascii_field: jurov: since you mentioned it,
i will explain that
i can be taken off the gameboard in any of 1,001 different simple ways, by the lizards, and
i have no defense, and that you and the rest should expect this to happen sooner or later and study accordingly
ascii_field: the only reason it has not happened is that
i'm ineffective and uninteresting to anyone...
jurov: but
i did not ask about ubuntu.
i asked about m$ suing you about infringing their patents
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2016 18:51:57; danielpbarron: jurov>
i wonder what alf will do << lemme try and fill in while he's away : mega-snore! ubuntu, the winbl0wz of linux, thought it could make a smart-f0ne when obviously the mobile world is for usg-blessed corps
ben_vulpes: at least
i only had to type my password the *first* time
i booted bitcoin under gdb
ben_vulpes: let's just cram all the things
i hate about my life into one tidy little package
mod6:
i did get gnat to work, so at least
i can play with sample programs locally etc.
danielpbarron:
i think there's already a precedent for the other part; see SEC vs MP
danielpbarron: jurov>

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo
i have nfi what's going on with those two articles. they don't even make sense. <<
I'll get to cutting
jurov:
i wonder what alf will do when he receives inevitable cease and desist letter wrt gossipd/ada/anythingelse patents
lexborisov:
I need to get away for awhile. After returning to read through the links
lexborisov:
I'm from Russia for a long time choosing my words. My English is not so good as we would like. Sorry
lexborisov: No, if admit that
I do not even know what it is
lexborisov: Sorry, but
I do not understand what's going on here. That is what this chat?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
i have nfi what's going on with those two articles. they don't even make sense.
nubbins`:
i admittedly DGAF about sedol vs alphago, but wasn't the series best 3 out of 5?
danielpbarron: neato, the thing lets me "privately publish" so
I can keep my own copy of it without it cluttering up my draft list or showing up on the rss
BingoBoingo: Anyways
I guess today is danielpbarron shits on the Bill Gates charitable legacy day.
danielpbarron: yeah
i noticed that too, but
i figured since my wordpress generated the stuff it would unpack to the same thing
i saw in yours
shinohai:
i am running an abe but it isn't fully synced.
phf: wintermute (btcbase machine) is unfit for the purpose, since
i suspect digitalocean will kill it pretty fast
phf: but
i don't have a complete blockchain, and since
i'm not using any sql type stuff,
i need to look into how much space various hashes take up when loaded into memory
phf:
i have block explorer code,
i think last time
i touched it
i was working on getting all the various hashes link to the right places (previous transaction, addresses, etc.)
danielpbarron: man it's way easier to prepare qntra articles with my blog draft setup, and if you don't like it
i'm already all set to publish it myself :D
phf:
i'm confused, src/headers imports openssl/sha yeah?
ben_vulpes:
i looked at main's imports and didn't see it including any other bitcoind namespaces pulling in the openssl/sha files
ben_vulpes: phf: while
i have your attention, do you have any idea how the various SHA256_Init, _Transform functions get into main.cpp?
mod6: <+shinohai> mod6:
i built this as qemu img so
i can try to make mirror of the whole shebang. << ah ok
BingoBoingo:
I might start playing with that, but can't run it until Monday. If it drops has to be fresh for Tuesday's votings
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo speaking of which, perhaps it's time to start referencing usg as "the government IN washington" ? not like it's legitimate or anything. <<
I'll have to do some reading into the right way to deny them legitimacy in writing
shinohai: mod6:
i built this as qemu img so
i can try to make mirror of the whole shebang.
mod6: oh,
i fucked up the url
phf: ben_vulpes: also dood wtf you stop in the city, swing through powells, and can't go 2 mi out of the way to get your eyes on my fp and mine on yours? <<
i'm guilty as charged, but it was not intended as a slight, so please don't take it as such.
i needed to clear my head, and while
i thought
i should reach out,
i didn't have it in me. this is not the last time
i'm in Oregon this year, so
i promise to not make the same mistake again :)
phf:
i think there's a fukamachi project that does html parsing with the intent of scrapping, but it's the guy behind woo
http server (
i.e. cffi to libev, full "modernizayshn" kool aid),
http://cl21.org, so
i've not looked at it
phf: asciilifeform: b) readermacro in commonlisp, it turns into s-expression as well formed as the html, and the resulting proggy is what, ten line. <<
i wish, closure-html is 4252 uloc, depends on cxml 7881 uloc, depends on closure-common 2053 uloc.
mircea_popescu: it's on their fucking heads. when
i'm not willing to pay as much as a farthing for the continuance of the world they built, this'd be why.
mircea_popescu: nah,
i didn't ask you to maintain one.
i asked for one to exist.
punkman:
I'd rather stop using one of the popular browsers
