asciilifeform: it has a power led that shines through the aluminum chassis
asciilifeform: to pick up a thread from yesterday, re: rf shields that pass light,
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Shame. That 6502 box looks like it would make a spiffy musical instrument since it has the game port for midi
assbot: Just a moment... ... ( http://bit.ly/1KQ97Oj )
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what's a ~honest~ mine cost ? << during the Altcoin srs bsns days rented hash with varying relability from https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/sha256
trinque: amounts to being able to get around rather quickly with a uniform set of keybindings and a simple mental model
asciilifeform: now, mad kudos to anyone who can locate a 'mensch computer' available for purchase...
asciilifeform: appears to use a variant of the 6502 processor that is still made by western design inc.
asciilifeform: several assembly language library routines built into firmware and a ROM monitor allowing the ease of programming any of the included devices including graphics, sound, game controllers, communication to a PC, Printer or Modem or other solid state devices. The ROM monitor provides an easy interface menu for checking registers and modifying data in memory. All software listings, schematics and documentation are included.'
asciilifeform: 'The Mensch Computer is a solid state computer that was never designed to compete in the PC market. It's not a PDA, calculator, home controller or personal organizer, but it could be any of these things. It was designed to provide simplicity without complexity allowing users to evolve it into their own creation. Many people put a lot of thought and many years into the design to provide a head start for many projects. There are
punkman: took me a sec to realize that was in F
asciilifeform: specify x1 from addr a1, x2 from a2, ... x_n(a_n)
punkman: a wallet spec might be nice to have
asciilifeform: i would malleate own tx to low-s atm but i don't have a handy proggy written for this
mircea_popescu: speaking of which asciilifeform ... good time to make a wallet fixer now :)
asciilifeform: 1) it was a good chunk of my net worth 2) it was a surrender to shitgnomery which i still don't properly understand
asciilifeform: send perfectly valid tx, now i have to figure out a way to double-spend own tx, failed to make a bet in time, and may very well end up in limbo
shinohai: I should throw up a donation page like that saying I'll mine classic blocks - 35 BTC!!!
assbot: 5 results for '25.25' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=25.25
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a very simple calculation really : 1 block out of 24 * 60 / 10 = 1/144 of total hash
asciilifeform: what's a ~honest~ mine cost ?
asciilifeform: does anyone have a link handy to where in the logz mircea_popescu calculated what it would cost to run a guaranteed-block-in-x-days mine ?
asciilifeform: sooo in other newz i put down 5btc on a bitbet and whaddayaknow, 'high S value'

asciilifeform: and i still have a few mechanical drives, that have not yet been replaced with flash
kakobrekla: hope you got a quiet psu as well
asciilifeform: there's gotta be a catch though. do they died after 6 mo. ? or what.
mod6: i'll give it a few days and then will roll up a full bundle. i've got an automated test for this case now too.
shinohai: Just a few days ago he equated Bitcoin to web browsers - fitting since they are the IE of BTC
mod6: then in a few days i'll consider publishing the bundle again. thanks for your support/patience/help, etc.
mod6: ok, so instead what I'll do here is add an automated test to check for this, so i don't regress later. and then most likely will put out a 3rd beta patch for people to test/review.
shinohai: That's good since that $400 box only produces pennies a week.
mod6: ive been a bit fried lately myself.
mod6: yeah, in this regard, my V basically does know what to look for in a given vpatch file -- the thing it wasn't doing is checking that the hashes match eachother -- which can cause a downstream infinate loop when traversing the map.
ben_vulpes: the structure, not the contents. 'fork bomb' was a joke, mod6.
mod6: how would it know ahead of time, short of having a hash for the vpatch itself?
ben_vulpes: well at least it's not a fork bomb?
ben_vulpes: ideally a v impl. knows what vpatches are to look like and barfs on anything that doesn't look like that instead of trying to catch all of the edge cases
ben_vulpes: [sets] up a game of verbal smoke and mirrors to suggest
punkman: Vandwellers”, about people living on the verge of poverty having to live a nomadic life in horse drawn moving vans."
punkman: "The history of Vandwelling goes back to horse drawn vehicles such as Roma Vardo wagons in Europe, and covered Conestoga wagons in the United States. One of the first uses of the term Vandwellers was in the United Kingdom showman and Van Dwellers' Protection Association, a guild for travelling show performers formed in the late 1800s. Shortly afterwards in 1901, Albert Bigalow wrote “The
kakobrekla: i dont see it as a 'cake of death' question, more like 'piss or shit' one.
punkman: /me remembers a hospital visit that concluded in a thunderous fart while doctor was palpating
asciilifeform: (right now i`m on a toystore thing)
kakobrekla: there is a workflow video buried somewhere on site.
asciilifeform: incidentally i cannot tell, from the screenshots, whether that thing has a structure editor, like interlisp, or merely clutters the display
asciilifeform: it had a structure editor
asciilifeform: go and make for me something i can use in place of a matrix.
mircea_popescu: it can be, but it's a much tougher nut than generally understood.
mircea_popescu: meaning is not a property of things.
mircea_popescu: i recall a matrix.
kakobrekla: or was it a matrix
mircea_popescu: actually, let's cut the discussion to a particularly comfortable example : the internet was "going to open up human knowledge". instead it has created the WORST fucking style of prose the english language has ever known. tedious, humourless but contrived, inept and coming up short in all measures, from cracked to wikipedia the language is bleeding. there is not more knowledge but less, and even its clothes are haggard
kakobrekla: somewhere in the logs where you pasted a pic of a triple integral or somesuch
mircea_popescu: now how do i, as a third party, resolve this dispute ?
kakobrekla: actually without 'code generators' your computer is useless, its just a matter of how away from the bedrock your abstraction is
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla while he is stuck in a very hard to defend middle, still, i gotta say this "code generators" line you're arguing has a lot in common with the "betterment" that was to come from autocading all architecture.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> In absurdly popular subreddits, /r/vandwellers/ has 26,000+ subscribers << i suspect living in a van will be the new middle class in the us.
copypaste: it's an IDE for a new proprietary language. it's crud, sure, but code generation isn't bad by itself
asciilifeform: realize, there is not nor cannot be any escape from actually specifying a problem.
copypaste: it is just a new language, is what you're missing. all languages are just machine code generators
asciilifeform: even haskell, i admit has a bright side.
kakobrekla: i know you are not a fan of abstraction but you also didnt write 'v' in machine code
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla 17 Inman Street Cambridge,Massachusetts02139, 1-5mn revenue, 10-20 employees. looks like one of the [very numerous, usually derpy] some-guys-on-mit-campus-incorporeted-a-something deals.
asciilifeform: wtf, why would ~generated~ ada seem like a good idea.
asciilifeform: i'll use a proprietary compiler shortly after my appointment as reichsminister, where i will commute to ft. meade on flying pig over a frozen hell.
asciilifeform: not even the demented author of hypertalk thought that drawing the limbs the of the ast was a good idea...
assbot: Logged on 14-02-2016 14:18:39; kakobrekla: http://www.htius.com < this looks sort of interesting, anyone got a comment on it?
shinohai: "The Indian Government declined to comment as to whether they would also provide a toilet to Preet Bharara, so he would stop shitting in American streets and court buildings."
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Now's your chance to audition for qntra. You've got a story, now your headline is "Indian Government And Banks Suppressing Cornerstone Of Local Culture"
kakobrekla: http://www.htius.com < this looks sort of interesting, anyone got a comment on it? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Seriously. Reddit level AI bot was linking nothing but facebook and such a variety of things there's no other way to prevent it from reemerging.
BingoBoingo: In other news facebook.com in any part of a comment to qntra no longer passes go, goes straight to hell never to be seen.
BingoBoingo: a dark figure in the corner started moving toward me. I tried to roll out of bed but realized my feet were tied to the bed. What the hell was happening?"
BingoBoingo: Apparently a new spambot turn on while I was sleeping: "I sat up in a cold sweat. Had someone's hand rellay been over my mouth or was I dreaming. My hotel room was pitch black save for the dim glow of my laptop screen. The Boingo application blinked angrily at me as the wifi had obviously been interrupted suddenly. My midnight snack, a half-eaten cream puff, lay awkwardly on the floor.Suddenly, I heard a wicked scream just before
mircea_popescu: (actually - this is a pretty well represented subculture, contrary to what intuition may be telling you)
punkman: actually surprised that no altcoin inventor yet has come up with ransomware as a feature
mircea_popescu: actually a sort of commedia could be made where a fake bitcoin internet group attacks the hollywood fake hospital they use in films, and encrypts their made up records to be recovered upon payment of large sum in scamcoin.
punkman: lol "Several hospital staff members said the computer system was hacked and was being held on a ransom of 3.4 billion in bitcoins" http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/FBI-LAPD-Investigating-Hollywood-Hospital-Cyber-Attack-368703121.html
assbot: Logged on 14-02-2016 05:43:45; ben_vulpes: i'm frustrated by having been taught a myriad of languages (to retard-level competence only), but NEVER LATIN

mircea_popescu: that's a myth.
