diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: re programming otherwise, there's eulora with
a shit-ton of interesting stuff to do but there like ~anywhere, it's always about digging deeper rather than looking wider as it were
☟︎ diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: you need to ask; and it's
a more general rule really
diana_coman even still has somewhere
a profile in there but can't be quite bothered atm about it
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, well, removed any tmsr reference on one ; invented
a spare.
mp_en_viaje: "Nicole's curiosity about life has put her on
a path of ever-deepening self-discovery. She believes in gentleness towards oneself, practicing gratitude, always having fun, and that laughter is one of the great keys to well-being."
stjohn_piano_2: to quote myself "To attack
a hidden-key address, an adversary would need to discover weaknesses in: ECDSA, SHA256, RIPEMD-160. These weaknesses would also have to be compatible. To attack
a known-key address, an adversary would only need to discover
a weakness in ECDSA."
stjohn_piano_2: section is called "Does the hash in
a Bitcoin address provide any protection?" (if you search the page for that string, you'll get to it)
mp_en_viaje: you understand there's
a (very theoretical) weaking of an address through reuse tho ?
stjohn_piano_2:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-16#1914109 << yes. i didn't even trust the implementation of the hash function though. i started out with the assumption "it's all terrible" and the conclusion was "the only true test is to get
a transaction from this address into the blockchain".
☝︎ stjohn_piano_2: re: testing: excellent. i will eventually buy one. need to get
a job first.
stjohn_piano_2: question becomes: spend lots of time becoming expert in old tech, run homebrew hardware for running
a wallet, but then: how to monetise? the expenditure in time alone is enormous.
stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: yes. i noticed. i have
a 10yo macbook that functions still, while newer ones.... well, not so good.
stjohn_piano_2: i contemplated
a future (my middle age?) in which all of the old stuff no longer works.
stjohn_piano_2: e.g. dig dig dig "ah, this Y is
a wrapper around
a half-melted X"
stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: all this is true. is it still
a bad idea if you run the raspi offline forever?

http://edgecase.net/articles/conversation_programmer_licences << what's the weird here ?
a) wrt to
a buncha people calling themselves x piano ; b) wrt to hand-publishing what's eminently
a chatlog, as such ? why not use
a logger and only publish selected snippets that need notes and such ?
mp_en_viaje: yeah. they're this cloud of idiots, this dude, graham, jobs, they all wear stupid clothes and aim to impress the gullible public by
a certain style of fireworks.
mp_en_viaje: Kinds of truth “Gravity’s not just
a good idea, it’s the law.” << check out the schmuck, "oh, here, nobody will notice pantsuitist pretense, let's talk about how gravity is the law. because hilary mcloser voted it!!!"
stjohn_piano_2: mp_en_viaje: makes sense. i don't think i'm
a good choice for advertising work.
mp_en_viaje: "One of the most popular in the world 7,000 posts so far, more than
a million readers." ; dude's still going, check him out. les keks.
mp_en_viaje: aha. but i meant since, made
a "ycombinator" thing.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 18:04 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, if you think about it, not only common, but forced because necessary. the human condition in postmodernism, as "lost on
a raft atop sea of nonsense" kinda forces the tribe's expendable labour (ie, young males) into the "quickly search through large portions of sea"
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, more like in 90s, didn't they write
a lisp-web thing ?
stjohn_piano_2: furniture factory wanted to see if they could make and sell
a cnc mini-mill.
stjohn_piano_2: ah. actually two businesses. one was
a furniture factory, one did speech rec system tuning.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:51 stjohn_piano_2: i have unfortunately worked mostly in small businesses, making me something of
a "learn this thing quickly well enough to get it to do X function".
mp_en_viaje: anyway, here's
a consultancy i'm willing to hire you for : find some place that
a) doesn't suck and b) offers
a good price to advertise trilema on. large venues only ; none of the pompous bullshit. bulk adult traffic would do fine for instance, maybe talk to the juicyads dorks.

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: certainly displays the patience required, to, eg, make
a quite pretty mp-wp clone in python.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:52 mircea_popescu: well, there's that old "as i became
a man i put the things of childhood aside". "something else", you know ? not
a girl, no, but who knows what terror ?!
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, in
a sense, the issue here you'll now have to transition into maturity.
stjohn_piano_2: i guess i could say that i'm very good at reading
a lot of material and picking out the bit that is necessary for
a problem.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:48 mp_en_viaje: so look, and i hope you don't take this the wrong way (
a hope mostly fed by your claim to have read the logs) : you're
a guy with an evident humanities / non-technical background trying to get something going, start
a company, all that stuff. nothing wrong with that. you are however currently beset by two prongs of problem. one is that in your quest to do something, you often do things that are getting in your own way -- there's no benefit for you f
BingoBoingo: And
a lot of people advertising for "transcription" aren't the sort equipped to decode cultureal artifacts
mp_en_viaje: rom all the pomp of "datafeed article 103," etc. it just clunks up your thought process. i know you don' tthink so, familiarity breeds
a feeling of safety etc. but it's absolutely never worth it to have more shit than you need.

☟︎ stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: this computer doesn't have
a djvu reader, but i have no doubt that it's painful.
BingoBoingo: human-powered ocr has
a high error rate when the wrong bipeds are involved
nicoleci: mp_en_viaje, that was
a long one, five hours...
mp_en_viaje: so is it you and
a friend made
a company and you call each other piano-something and the company is edgecase ?
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:34 mp_en_viaje: if soemthing you should do can be accomplished in one hand motion, you'll do it
a lot easier than if you have to first curtsy and then proceed. and
a curtsy can be anything -- including having to remember the name of
a script.
mp_en_viaje: all sorts of unexpected things improve productivity, and the thing with improved productivity is that it's
a very hard exponential -- cutting yet another 1% dead weight produces massive gains because it lowers effort under pleasure threshold.

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: because if i had
a criticism to present toyou re your (in many ways quite laudable) efforts -- it'd be this scratching around head with wrong hand approach to life.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, so do you see something wrong with having an article about
a script that does |xxd ?
mp_en_viaje is currently quite satisfied with the trilema/rss > irc > archive.is system of archival. for one thing, on very rare occasions i will retrofix
a typo or something. for the other, if i actually wanted to deed each trilema article i would, but by automating that itnerface. seems overkill atm.
stjohn_piano_2: mp_en_viaje: yes, I've learned
a lot. also distribution of risk.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: In practice it seems so. Neither the reds nor the blues have
a monopoly on the mud hut deindustrialists.

a "green" fwiw

a builting Emacs Aptitude Test. Do you remap your keyboard or the Emacs keybindings before the chords and sequences it comes with by default have wreaked havoc with your hands? If you do not do anything to make Emacs more convenient for yourself, you may not have the prerequisite aptitude to use it productive.' (naggum, who else.
http://www.xach.com/na stjohn_piano_2: manage_ip_addresses is
a small interface for the paywall ip addresses. it's
a thrown-together paywall, not fantastic, but functional.
