mircea_popescu: this, for the record my dear lord mats , is entirely
a constructed, deliberate neurosis. there is nothing paralyzing about uncertainity in se. the paralizing bit, much like the horse's bit, or the nail in the grenade, is the expectation of maximal outcome, often doublespoken as "responsibility", and generally internalized as "self respect" or somesuch.
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: asciilifeform there's
a system catching up with it, too.
BingoBoingo: but mircea_popescu's thinkpad is not
a computer. It is
a bedtime video player.
BingoBoingo: If current draw is really that big of
a concern
BingoBoingo: Side effect of this is if weight is actually
a concern (it really shouldn't be) AAA cell battery prison could also be offered.
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
mircea_popescu: that's what makes these things iffy. gotta let the proponent state it whenever it's such
a case.
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
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’."
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 02:28:18; punkman: apparently
a lot of implementations have "EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range" errors
mircea_popescu: let's leave it at "property is
a complicated thing" then.
mircea_popescu: under the sole payment of
a falcon; which every year, on the Feast of All Saints, shall be presented by the person or persons duly authorised for that purpose, into the hands of the Viceroy or President, who may at that time be administering the government, in sign and recognition of feudal tenure; and having made that payment, they shall remain exempt and free from all other service claimable by law, and by custom per
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.
punkman: if you have jurisdiction over an area of land, not
a bad thing to do.
danielpbarron: that's more of
a WoT thing than
a block chain thing, and we're back to betters beating losers
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...
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2016 21:10:11; mircea_popescu: these delusioanl urchins are so used to seeing themselves as
a sort of neo-in-matrix that it just doesn't compute.
blockchain_enthu: and trying to get
a sense of how far along have people thought over this
blockchain_enthu: LOL! Well
a lot of ideas seem ridiculous before somebody manages to pull it off
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 13:20:52; mircea_popescu: seriously, you're going to invent
a blockchain way to make losers not be beaten up by their betters ? because why.
danielpbarron: but the implication is that there could exist
a block chain without the money part
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: * asciilifeform wonders if the buildscript could become
a makefile one day << afaik this was broadly tyhe plan, at least at first
mod6: where do you get
A records if all of the root/gtld servers vanish?
trinque: we've been overlooking
a great many failed targets since day one
trinque: yep, albeit "boost is done" is currently "there is
a folder here which it shat"
trinque: we are both aware of what
a trivial change that is.
mod6: instead we just have
a "release" version of the build script like everyone has been using and then push the "better build aparatus" into the post release development push.
mod6: it basically breaks up my build script into makefiles. its worth your time to take
a look i think.
mod6: then move on and there will just be
a new version soon.
mod6: well, we need to make
a 1 line change to the 99996 build script, and then update the wiki. BUT on the other hand we're gonna need 99995 soon anyway, as soon as some people beat up on my latest patch for V.
danielpbarron: mod6> danielpbarron, got plans this weekend? << Eulora auction yo! Other than that, I don't really have "weekends" as I don't have
a 9 to 5 kinda schedule
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, THAT machine igot
a sighup 10 minutes ago, and bitcoind is still running on it. so... wtf.)
mircea_popescu: and to round up : the other one, testing
a (slightly older) 99996 keeps dying like
a little bitch, so it's behind
punkman: apparently
a lot of implementations have "EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range" errors
☟︎ mircea_popescu: rebase until your finger bleed. i don't give
a shit how hard it is, or how you think there's more productive uses of your time.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with using
a release.
mod6: ah, ok.. but don't run the 99996 yet -- the script needs
a 1 line update iirc.
mod6: its
a choose your own adventure really.
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.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: but the road to automated reactor controls is paved with perl scripts, if you'll forgive
a language jab mod6
punkman: "when you search for
a paper, Sci-Hub tries to immediately download it from fellow pirate database LibGen. If that doesn't work, Sci-Hub is able to bypass journal paywalls thanks to
a range of access keys that have been donated by anonymous academics"

mircea_popescu: punkman and they won't make it in
a foundation release.
mircea_popescu:
a happy man is one who never went into the sausage factory.
ben_vulpes: my mind recoils at the notion of running
a reference implementation compiled without knowing the patchlist going into it
ben_vulpes: aha whatever fires v must present
a head to press
gribble: Error: "height" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: anyone ever saw
a process get ended after you disconnect
a nohup session ?!
☟︎ mod6: did mod6 lose
a whole year
assbot: You rated user mike_c on 10-Aug-2014, with
a rating of 3, and supplied these additional notes: Met IRL, runs btcalpha.com, built new WoT tool.
mircea_popescu: i do
a lot of that. set it to do say 30 suspect ointments, it's good for 20 hours
mircea_popescu: because of the fucking impedance in thin fillaments and other considerations, your shit will never work as
a straight conductor.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i would expect, on the basis of sheer guesswork, that if you want to make fine mesh shields as opposed to
a traditional, 2mm thick cage, that you would want various quantum and other side effects ratgher than straight conductivity.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's
a pretty good trick! give him spaghetti too

a decision to let go of the past technical issues. We don’t care whose fault it was, who broke protocol, who harmed who’s feelings or egos, who lied or who was technically or morally wrong.
