shinohai: kk I'll just test as-is for now
shinohai: or do I still need to do that
mod6: so lastnight, I tested an updated version of the automated build script 'build-bitcoind-V99996.sh' -- the version that's currently deedbotted is no longer ok since I reground alfs patches.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 19:33:28; mircea_popescu: so i can not cut a hole into a faraday cage with a proton beam.
mircea_popescu: but i still can't be arsed to do the actual math for it, so whatevs.
mircea_popescu: no, i just said that i would expect on the basis of guesswork for indium -group metals to work out as the thinnest functional mesh
mircea_popescu: and you were going to distinguish between far uv and close x-rays on some sort of a basis. other than "cuz i say 3*10^16 and fu"
jurov: RF is pulsating electromagnetic field, i.e. photons
mircea_popescu: so i can not cut a hole into a faraday cage with a proton beam. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you don't get an out of jail free card re wires just because "but officer, i needed smaller holes"
BingoBoingo: But i mean compare to BitBet https://bitbet.us/bet/1191/the-hearn-gavin-scamcoin-will-fizzle-in-2016/
BingoBoingo: Likely, but I'm not risking shit to see for sure because of that possibility
mircea_popescu: i mean they're not even trying.
punkman: I think you gotta either use a release or care about which patches you use, now if there are different production and testing releases that's another thing
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that is the most cretinous thing i ever heard.
mircea_popescu: i am thinking : maybe including a comment line as "this patch is intended to be applied on prev hash blabla" would do it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i know, jus' sayin.
asciilifeform: (consider how i even got involved)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm all for constructive gruntwork
mircea_popescu: unlike you, i have explicit author names and explicit trust relations with them. so... bald men shouldn't throw rox!
ben_vulpes: ask me not these questions. i have no answers. i bring only gore from the depths.
mircea_popescu: turns out there's exactly 0 demand for her as an 'entrepreneur' or w/e it was, so i guess the cats await.
asciilifeform: '“But you’re taking a massive risk! That’s so brave!” they’d say. I never thought so. The biggest risk in my eyes was going to university, getting a stable job, and sliding into a comfortable life. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I knew it wasn’t me.'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what am i looking at
asciilifeform: 'Over 90% of tech startups fail, but I never thought my baby, 99dresses, would be one of them.' << gold
mircea_popescu: redditard has brief moment of clarity : "I never realised how much I hate democracy until I had to endure idiots (like myself) insisting that their voice be heard regarding the blocksize despite not having any of the required technical knowledge."
mircea_popescu: damn i thought for sure we lolled at this before
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 01:32:22; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404057 << i didn't know you swung that way!
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404199 i'm actually swung to tease hysterical irc nicknames ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I thought that's what fiverrrar was for?
BingoBoingo: punkman: ty, but it's a fucking camera. I don't see much cause for dicking its firmware up yet.
danielpbarron: heh I also use a spacepen
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404839 << i use strictly fisher's cylinders in pen ☝︎
danielpbarron: heh i switched to Rhodesia flag on my profile pic last night
BingoBoingo: I dunno. Dixie seems to have substantial branding value due to the length of history. Mebbe we can save that for our eventual electrifying literary magazine?
BingoBoingo: If you say subversive things on twitter and haven't been banned yet, it is because they have determined you are an unimportant loon. This is why I find twitter offensive for its failure to ban me.
danielpbarron: if it weren't for my extremely offensive views, i'm really their perfect user
danielpbarron: i thought maybe it was because i have a really old account and i don't spam, ever
danielpbarron: heh i'm not banned yet, and i tweeted the death warrant
mircea_popescu: eh waht do i care, let the kids be leet and shit.
kakobrekla: i doubt he had anything of substance to say
kakobrekla: i think he (personally) is still around here
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i thought they moved to some uk incubeator ?
mats: i dun look for insights into the human condition in such places
shinohai: shit gotta redo I misspelled
mircea_popescu: "oh im here at the bottom of an ocean of air exerting 100kpa on my every limb, i can scarcely move!!1"
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : i just used ~4mn satoshi worth of Eulora stuff to dig up ~7mn worth of Eulora stuff. I just earned 3 bitcents off virtual mmorpg economy this morning, on top of everything else!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the 'if we close our eyes, mircea_popescu won't exist!' orchestra is a fountain of lulz <<< i'm totally making cocktails with water from there. makes the girls all giddy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm a promiscuous sort what can i tell you.
mircea_popescu: i know.
mircea_popescu: i like syncing.
asciilifeform: lulzily, i wrote malleus upon being prodded by mircea_popescu - who hasn't, it appears, yet tried it
BingoBoingo: I remember, but can it run bitcoind?
punkman: if you were to have the equivalent of 10 AA I mean
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's been a lot of progress with fine meshes or w/e, but i'm pretty sure they still didn't manage to catch up to li ion
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ~1/2 the density << In practice I'm not so sure. 3 AA eneloops new offers a total 6.3 Ah. Present laptop's battery if new 5.2 Ah with much bigger cells
asciilifeform: but i'd love to engage the author here.
mircea_popescu: i'd like to read how the lower bound claim is constructed.
asciilifeform: i read the enchilada paper
BingoBoingo: I don't want lithium cells at all outside of cmos battery
BingoBoingo: I mean that's about as good as or better energy density than Li-ion, vastly reduced fire hazard, and all kinds of other joy.
BingoBoingo: I really don't understand why there isn't more outrage about the perpetuation of this lithium ion battery planned obscelescence scam.
BingoBoingo: Nothing new other than the introduction, which is gold: "Let’s say that you’re running a company and want to create some internal competition between teams to see which ones can perform better. You can do this with R&D, and sales, but I would humbly suggest that you don’t do it with receivables. Sending out duplicate invoices to customers is generally referred to as ‘criminal behavior’."
BingoBoingo: Thailand gets IT https://i.imgur.com/qMEACcY.jpg
BingoBoingo: Old Country Buffet, shitlord https://i.sli.mg/6L10Gt.png
punkman: not sure I have any nonstupid questions or answers on the topic
mircea_popescu: i dunno, what if ?
blockchain_enthu: anyway, i think i'll have to read up a lot more before i contribute to the discussion here. Thanks all for sharing your thoughts.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of word picking, i'm just making the point that there's no benefit for the new lord importing the old gunk.
blockchain_enthu: the only counter point I'd like to make here is this: even though real world items do not follow rules like bitcoins do, but there is a whole system (read legal system) which allows people to do transactions and move things around
danielpbarron: blockchain_enthu, I'd re-voice you but I can't think of anything else of interest to add here. If anyone else wants to take a turn...
blockchain_enthu: when i said real-estate transactions, i meant buying/selling of real-estate.
blockchain_enthu: Well I am going through the log
danielpbarron: here's another part of the log that seems relevant to your station >> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-02-2016#1402512 << and funny thing is I'm currently watching The Matrix as we speak ☝︎
blockchain_enthu: LOL! i'm not saying i'm going to do it. i'm just exploring the possibility
danielpbarron: i think that pretty well sums it up
danielpbarron: i'm trying to find the part in the log where this idea was proposed and shot down
blockchain_enthu: i am still trying to explore more
blockchain_enthu: so i thought i'll join an IRC channels to see what kind of things people discuss
blockchain_enthu: I am a non-tech kind guy trying to understand block chain and bit coins. I find block chain to be more interesting than bit coin
mircea_popescu: i guess this raises the need for an intermediate flag
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, it must've induced something.
mircea_popescu: i think it must be
mircea_popescu: mod6 sorta usian, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i'd guess about 100mm fallen so far, 5ish per minute or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, it's been raining like the end of the world in buenos aires, i fully expect the downtown to be under water in the morning.
mod6: has everyone who is going to test this: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2016-February/000210.html actually finished? maybe i don't need to wait another week.
mod6: so once the new V is out, i don't see why at that point we don't submit the release vpatch.
mod6: I did too, but we need more mirrors imho
trinque: I quite liked the v-tronic hosts file idea
mod6: anyway, so again, my short term goal here is to get V stablized so hopefully no further changes will be needed once i pt out v99995
asciilifeform: and if a script insists on curling, i won't use it.
asciilifeform: i - don't
mod6: im trying to avoid getting hit over the head with "but it uses curl!" -- but maybe i like the beatings?
asciilifeform: trinque: originally i wanted recursive so i could dive into, e.g., boost, openssl, and have a single makefile for the whole orchestra
asciilifeform: i remember now that i saw this before, and mercifully forgot.
mod6: it basically breaks up my build script into makefiles. its worth your time to take a look i think.
mod6: i just haven't quite figured out how im gonna fit it all together since they need to be Vified as well. at lesat, I think they do...
mod6: i was working on those lastnight, getting some stuff updated.
asciilifeform: i tried this on day 1, but never figured out how to get idiot gnumake to recurse
