asciilifeform: is the spiffy body-fitting suit mircea_popescu is sitting in, also 'insane' ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 21:10 mircea_popescu: "gotta try things out". there's a lot of this rumspringa behaviour in usg."tech".
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 22:58 mircea_popescu: the previous douchebag was called kakobrekla, took weeks of all hands on deck to resove. in 2016. in 2018, it takes a minute of occasional attention freom whoever happens to be bored.
asciilifeform: it's exactly as in mircea_popescu's linked piece -- bag of lettered dice can't 'ask questions'
a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 16:57 douchebag: mircea_popescu: What makes someone smart enough to be here exactly then?
asciilifeform: and i recall mircea_popescu's drills excavating a 1370s concordate, etc
a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 16:55 mircea_popescu: douchebag looky, the place's not for you. you're not smart enough to be here. what's so hard to grok about this ? some people are smart, some people aren't smart, you're not smart. what, you have to be dragged out, your legs don't work, what is it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 22:05 BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: wp needs write access to bake the auto-redirect thing. tried. << It needs only a stanza in htaccess, provided human readable urls were used from the start
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 22:13 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no pill against idiocy ; and yes it's immoral to give idiots things, that's the whole fucking point -- if you give idiots things they fuck them up.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 22:23 mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the item you want is prolly http://trilema.com/2012/law-enforcement-never-fails-to-unintentionally-entertain/#selection-175.0-175.758 ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874999 << yes ! ty mircea_popescu ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Mullenwaggle's wp fork constantly changed the database field structures over the upgrades. How far his version "outran" the fork determines how much massaging the SQL dump is going to need to restore it for sanity
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: wp needs write access to bake the auto-redirect thing. tried. << It needs only a stanza in htaccess, provided human readable urls were used from the start ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you recall your 'gold asteroid' essay ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wp needs write access to bake the auto-redirect thing. tried.
asciilifeform: 1 of the reasons i haven't taken up mircea_popescu's wp wholesale is 1) i dun wanna break ~any~ urls 2) at same time, i refuse to give wp write access to disk. so that means hand-genning .htaccess, ugh
a111: Logged on 2018-11-25 16:35 mircea_popescu: fucking html, ALWAYS this is my experience with it : sink however long you want into making it do what you want it to, then write off that effort and hand-coerce things instead.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: dun seem like you have it on your www ? it's pretty simple to weld on
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu for the gadget.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phrase 'standardizes unnecessary work' is lulzy imho
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there is no reason to rush through the material, eat it at own pace
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you could say that i cheated tho, lessee if actually worx
asciilifeform: btw diana_coman et al : comments on asciilifeform's www fixed
asciilifeform: nuffin, mircea_popescu was awake to pull the breaker
a111: Logged on 2018-11-26 16:54 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-26#1874708 << lmao this is a little brusque isn't it. suppose you disable it in this feedbot thing we now see for the first time. let it do pm only, work out a roadmap to switch over with trinque that consists of something else than straight bombardment, and THEN.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have a strong bias against proggies which try to be 'smart' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's the least of the problems. The imaginary trains appear to just run portions of bus routes with little coverage of interesting city and long runs into the favelas

asciilifeform: there's still iirc a bug in auto-reconnector, but is upstream in the http://btcbase.org/patches/ircbot-multiple-channels-corrected , i'ma attend to it laters ( unless trinque & ben_vulpes know a ready pill )
asciilifeform: pehbot is simply a wrapper around compiled ffa_calc , currently it gives closest possible picture to what you get if you ran the proggy itself locally.
asciilifeform: could, in principle ( could even discard leading 0s ) but i wrote the orig logic mircea_popescu-style, 'do not want spurious whitespaces'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to elaborate ? broken up where
pehbot: mircea_popescu: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: UY doesn't really have natgas or any other hydrocarbons of its own. It has cows. The supermarket turkeys though were US imports though.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: but take this forinstance : thorouyghly hated politician active these days MADE his own fucking ARO (70s romanian SUV). OUT OF PARTS. WHICH HE BOUGTH.
asciilifeform: diana_coman et al ^
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 04:41 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz nobody likely gives a shit about : romania apparently has some natgas in its chunk of black sea shelf ; usg wants to steal this ; ro senate wrote a law for them ; ro commons rejected it, because this one guy (liviu dragnea) said so. his majority collapsed because "hungarian" miniparty changed its mind overnight (ie, transparently got bought out) and well... guess who is "accused" of supposedly having FORCED
asciilifeform believes mircea_popescu's summary.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: guilty. i haven't flown space station, either.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the margin on the fuel ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> hercules tank is like 30k gallons. per plane. if they surcharge a coupla bucks a liter, which they do, uruguay airport made 100k in one day for the first time since it was inaugurated. << The price of aviation fuels went up last week quite a bit as well to the protest of some airlines
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, i dun have a good model of the miami-seekers, apparently
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i naively thought there was a chance that they'd protest
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's mfa ? i.e. spamola ? or moar specific ?
spyked: hey diana_coman, ty for testing! yeah, it's a bit slow because it grabs the feeds serially, I'll have to fix that.

a111: Logged on 2014-09-10 15:02 mircea_popescu: well yeah. was a bunch o people, they got building permit and proceeded to built like at home. concrete pillars, brick walls etc.
billymg: unrelated, mircea_popescu: what do you think of the lake arenal region? i visited once and was playing around with the idea of even moving there
a111: Logged on 2018-11-25 17:32 mircea_popescu: billymg no, see : http://archive.is/x2Ci6#selection-189.0-197.209 ? this is breakage.
billymg: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform: next time you can simply say "billymg: it should look like this, make it so"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now you know what half of ffa illustration sweat loox like !
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: matters so much ~which~ pnoje ? if yer a 10watt microwave lighthouse in middle of desert

a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 23:49 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma put your patch into the 'official' sequence, rather than simply sewing it into ch13, i'd like to explicitly honour the work.
mircea_popescu: oh, and in other lulz http://trilema.com/2017/in-case-you-were-wondering-where-all-the-worthless-nuland-drones-ended-up/ : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Extremism_Project ☟︎

asciilifeform: somewhat surprisingly, diana_coman's 5-op (vs old 6-op) subtraction carry, has 0 measurable effect on the benchmarks in 12b . i still find it aesthetically pleasing tho and would like to use it, rather than old.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. ch13 will sit on top of diana_coman's patch, and the latter will be mirrored. )

amberglint: there's also a presentation about it, haven't found the transcript: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTOkgDZli_o
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, trinque -- i'm not even certain dnsism exists on os level, aside from /etc/hosts -- possibly it is just in libc
asciilifeform: but will say -- i expect that the final item will be even moar extreme than mircea_popescu's scheme -- i'll have 2 consoles on desk, 1 that talks to barbarian net, and 1 that only gossipd
asciilifeform: ( ftr asciilifeform does not have a stable of slaves, like rms, or knuth, or mircea_popescu , to whom can order 'go fetch this from www for me' so that i can pretend i'm not using dns , email, ssl, etc. while still using when want )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:38 mircea_popescu: but imo also will take some thinking, do it right (which mostly means - simply and intolerantly)
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 14:18 asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu reminds me , trinque : here's an idea, let's banish the 'root certs' and any systemwide sslism from cuntoo. if user demands it , let him install locally.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:44 mircea_popescu: replace them with a single component, which builds a hosts file through pressing v tree.
asciilifeform: summary : diana_coman was too modest to admit, but did find a 1 cycle shorter form, i'ma put it in.
asciilifeform: ty diana_coman !
asciilifeform: diana_coman et al: http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/24/proposed-change-to-w_borrow-ffa/comment-page-1/#comment-4500
asciilifeform: oh hey did diana_coman find a karnaugh-shorter overflowtron
asciilifeform eats diana_coman's piece...
phf: mircea_popescu: i have a box of your pogos, i can probably still store them, but i won't be able to keep them safe, nor produce them on short notice
phf: diana_coman: added the sigs, and the new vpatch
deedbot: http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/24/proposed-change-to-w_borrow-ffa/ << Ossasepia - Proposed Change to W_Borrow (FFA)
hanbot: mircea_popescu in the grand circus of learning, there's no substitute for getting one's face in the cheese grater. but sure, have nicoleci teach that particular course, why nots.
trinque: mircea_popescu: thing nicely generalizes into a vpatch/seal lookup mechanism for everything.
hanbot: mircea_popescu tbh i'm quite morally opposed to stuffing hand-holding wordsalad into a set of instructions for the sake of placating idiocy. unclear is one thing, devoid of sparkly alternative interpretational dance is another.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 17:46 mircea_popescu: hanbot hey, where's the "gpg guide for windows tards" ? i thought we had this on eulora wiki somewhere but drawing blanks.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-11 13:50 mircea_popescu: don't ask the customer for things you don't have to. customer pays, that's enough.
mircea_popescu: do you see any merit in dedicated ports for instance ? or just maintain the necessary files on something like diana_coman 's code shelf ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: certainly am
phf: diana_coman: i've updated eucrypt, smg-comms to the latest, and added "v" for v.pl
phf: asciilifeform: a downside to your renaming the patches is that it breaks all the old btcbase links. e.g. http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis is now http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch1_genesis.kv even though the content is the same
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dude really wanted a rifle and was willing to play both sides
a111: Logged on 2018-11-23 22:08 ascii_modem: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-22#1874249 << what size e now ? ( i'll add, smaller e is proportionally faster modexp in my system, but only if you were to know its size in advance )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 05:00 auctionbot: Sell order # 1004 has ENDED: 9.5k wFF q0 SOLD to mod6 for 1.5bn ecu. Attn: mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: <ascii_modem> or banking that nobody can be arsed? or how. << Likely banking on that, no one with a subscription bothering
a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 22:00 mircea_popescu: the data is structured anyway for the program, there's no absolute requirement to ship it with storage adnotations.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 21:57 mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc.
