ben_vulpes: i suppose
a 'learn latin as an adult' strategy is going to take
a few weeks to cook up.
ben_vulpes: i'm frustrated by having been taught
a myriad of languages (to retard-level competence only), but NEVER LATIN
☟︎ ben_vulpes: it ain't conjugation 'cause it ain't
a verb, (and this question clearly makes me an "ESL" speaker) so what is the linguistic term of art for constructing language elements like this?
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 23:57:26; BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: "Lynxlet is an application for launching the text web browser Lynx in
a Terminal window. Lynxlet is
a Termlet -
a class of applications designed to make Terminal based programs easy to use. " << Can't you just use... lynx???
pete_dushenski: i remember reading that 'billionaire saves...' piece back when i first started hanging out here and i recall thinking that mp being
a 'billionaire' was some kinda troll
BingoBoingo: Early 2014's when you were called
a billionaire and saved openbsd
mircea_popescu: "The only thing that could devalue it, of course, is if I had
a change of heart. I confess that I do, some mornings I wake up exhuberant and the ten million seems to me more like
a billion soon."
BingoBoingo: Probably
a smaller number of offering on Nasdaq
BingoBoingo: It still opens it in
a terminal window apparently
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: "Lynxlet is an application for launching the text web browser Lynx in
a Terminal window. Lynxlet is
a Termlet -
a class of applications designed to make Terminal based programs easy to use. " << Can't you just use... lynx???
☟︎ thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: But i mean compare to BitBet << Is there
a ClassicCoin bet or just XT? It's like the BFL delivery bets now, but with scamcoins.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Another great way to excise javascript is just giving up and using Dillo as
a web browser. It's my favorite for traversing untrusted sites atm
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: could you recommend
a javascript blocker in particular ? using ff here
assbot: How Can Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology Play
a Role in Building Social and Solidarity Finance? | Events | UNRISD ... (
http://bit.ly/1R1TjqU )
BingoBoingo: Spam messages are intolerable, javascript is intolerable, but if
a site wants to uglify itself with static images and such nbd
BingoBoingo: Seriously though no gray. Just skipped to
a white somewhere between titanium oxide and potasium carbonate
pete_dushenski: but stock is 'up' so everyone's
a jumpin' and
a jivin' and
a takin' them there gurls out to the dance hall tonite !
mod6: oh, because the leaf ordering is different. if you want
a press of "all" patches as they exist in the mirror, currently, you need to press up through asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mod6> who cares << he was very popular with
a certain crowd.
assbot: You rated user shinohai on 03-Jul-2015, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: New blood..
mod6: i guess, my node is already sync'd so i'm not going through that part of
a full sync atm.
mod6: do i not see that same issue because i run with `&' in
a screen session?
shinohai: I finally put restart in
a crontab until mine caught up >.<
pete_dushenski: it requires constant babysitting to watch for
a jam and restart so that it ever keeps eating blox
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 01:53:07; mircea_popescu: anyone ever saw
a process get ended after you disconnect
a nohup session ?!
mod6: i think i need
a bigger desk
shinohai: also should have
a much improved status page running in
a few days, Im gonna wait for full sync to turn it on
mod6: we're gonna have to go through this again here not too long from now when V v99995 comes out, but hopefully that'll be the last time for
a while.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hoping that mod6 will save you from inclusion arbitrarily is
a lot fucking weaker than just having the proper control of only signing in the test branch, and choosing where yhou sign << yah, this may be
a really good idea. right now, we're livin on the edge.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 19:42:13; mircea_popescu: well that's what it was, some derps came out with what struck me on first sight as
a sort of "gasoline saving magnets", ie these superthin meshes that'll "protect your monitor from nsa spying"
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: well that's what it was, some derps came out with what struck me on first sight as
a sort of "gasoline saving magnets", ie these superthin meshes that'll "protect your monitor from nsa spying"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's
a minimal thickness as
a function of the material involved that can be used.
mircea_popescu: anyways. the original discussion was about how you can't make
a mesh arbitrarily fine and expect it to still shield anything.
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"
mircea_popescu: so i can not cut
a hole into
a faraday cage with
a proton beam.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the problem of penetration isn't the only consideration here. what you're saying is akin to the proposition that
a cpu is only hot on the surface, so only
a fool would connect it to 5kg of copper.
mircea_popescu: an arbitrarily thin filament of an arbitrary length is NOT grounded merely on the grounds that you connected it to
a pipe somewhere.
jurov: and due to skin effect if you use thick but relatively poor conductor you'll get
a surprises at > MHz stuff
mircea_popescu: and "insulated" is
a function of conductivity, which is
a function of thickness.
mircea_popescu: understand :
a very thin, insulated fillament is not
a piece of shielding, but in turn an antenna.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 01:30:18; mircea_popescu: because of the fucking impedance in thin fillaments and other considerations, your shit will never work as
a straight conductor.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that thing can't possibly be anything but
a scam at this point, of the "magic doubler address" ilk.
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: what does it even mean ? there was
a fork! there's ten forks
a day. wtf.
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 yup. or any other thing. here's
a thought : once one hash differs, the ones downstream will because it includes the different hash
mircea_popescu: sorry alf, you're part of
a standards group. this re-do work 10k times is par for the cutpurse.
mircea_popescu: hoping that mod6 will save you from inclusion arbitrarily is
a lot fucking weaker than just having the proper control of only signing in the test branch, and choosing where yhou sign
mircea_popescu: punkman so someone can write experimental code without risking it showing up in
a production environment and getting negrated for it.
mircea_popescu: it is increasingly obvious, to me, that there should be
a new genesis made, signed by
a specially generated identity, "test".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just making
a point for the benefit of the fox here.
ben_vulpes: perhaps
a better formulation would be that there are those who curate their own patch selection and those who delegate to the foundation.
mircea_popescu actually got awoken once because the damned things were wailing exactly like someone trying to shove
a baby through
a pasta strainer.
mircea_popescu: what tourney, "which can imitate
a five year old being torn limb from limb closer to life" ?
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 02:18:58; mod6: <+ben_vulpes> my mind recoils at the notion of running
a reference implementation compiled without knowing the patchlist going into it << im not sure how to reconsile this. either you don't know what you're doing and you use
a fully automated build script, or you do, and you build by hand.
mircea_popescu: ok, so chick thinks she's special,
a lifetime of progenitorial slavery not fit for the likes of her. fine! jolly good!
punkman: ben_vulpes: but it also has
a Makefile
shinohai: Looks like Morticia Adams as
a young lady
BingoBoingo: punkman: ty, but it's
a fucking camera. I don't see much cause for dicking its firmware up yet.
BingoBoingo: <mats> should be relatively easy to impersonate an aapl ntp server and brick phones on
a network << Imagine if
a terrorist messed with BGP servers
mats: should be relatively easy to impersonate an aapl ntp server and brick phones on
a network
mircea_popescu: lol BingoBoingo. give it time, overnight dangerousness is usually obtained in
a decade or two.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure they have
a perfect user. they don't aim to anything.
danielpbarron: i thought maybe it was because i have
a really old account and i don't spam, ever
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: That's
a sign the twitter stasi find you unimportant
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, dangerous for whom ? twitter is
a goner, they're not making money, they can't make money, the share is collapsing,
a 2020 with twitter still around is an impossibility.
mircea_popescu: but hey, italy isn't
a part of africa, populated by first-generation-in-shoes subhuman horde. they got like technologees and shit. can spam like teh pros!
mircea_popescu: in other lolz : 164.132.48.48 is at ~70k loads of trilema.com/xmlrpc.php over the past 3 days. comes to twenty
a minute or some shit.
mats: mircea_popescu: to me it is just
a cute comic with
a boy and an anthropomorphic tiger
