ben_vulpes: anyways, 'mandatory' is
a bit of
a joke.
pete_dushenski: www.nytimes.com/2016/01/26/arts/design/cambodias-new-angkor-museum-created-by-
a-north-korean-art-factory.html
jurov: ben_vulpes: or create
a public mpex account, i'm sure that would be something to talk about
pete_dushenski: who would make
a specified password mandatory anyhow ? and if everyone's stuck with the same one, don't you just have usernames left ?
ben_vulpes: using "password" as
a password should be mandatory.
thestringpuller: coincidentally in fallout4 you start off in exactly that,
a cookie cutter subdivision.
thestringpuller: And not to "date" just to hit it and quit it after
a fraternity party or something.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: you're not alone as
a black-dude-with-an-affinity-slash-respect-for-the-non-black-dude-fro. when i let my hair down, everyone from the ethiopian immigrants here to the locals in jamaica all be like "yo man! hao cum yoo iz gott hayur like mee?!"
BingoBoingo: No that's
a reason to move to
a mountaintop.
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 16:17:10; ascii_butugychag: you telnet and get
a repl.
mats: i was just in
a meeting where bosses decided to downgrade ~10k windows 10 users to TLS 1.0 (from 1.2) because of
a bug from patch tuesday
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: 'Hercules is
a continuation of the TMS470/TMS570 line. It's focused on safety and performance. One of the key features of Hercules is dual CPUs running the same code in parallel ("lock-step"). This lets you immediately detect faults in the CPU itself.' << apparently not entirely extinct
adlai: ascii_butugychag: danke! i was able to get the pdf from the 2nd link with
a textmode browser... "look ma, no js!"
mircea_popescu: so in
a quest for obscure nonsense, we encounter an interesting bit of david blight : "One of the ideas the reconciliationist Lost Cause instilled deeply into the national culture is that even when Americans lose, they win. Such was the message, the indomitable spirit, that Margaret Mitchell infused into her character Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind."
ascii_butugychag: had an obama standing in
a photoshopped mountain canyon, sunrise illuminating his saintly halo,
ascii_butugychag: so there is
a kind of phree volkischer-beobachter they hand out in the train station here. and it had
a full page ad in it today, melted my brain, full pyongyang mode
mircea_popescu: yes, but it's necessarily
a meaningless test seeing how wikipedia itself is not notable.
adlai: any self-respecting unit had exceptions in place, but every single new recruit had to sign
a form exempting their sergeants from such rules
ascii_butugychag: whereas
a bloke is worth something possibly at the moment he charges the enemy machine-gun nest successfully
ascii_butugychag: i recall
a spiffy mircea_popescu article re: how one ends up having to lie to chix, when telling them that they are worthless, because they are in fact worth something
ascii_butugychag just now realizes that mircea_popescu would make
a world-class sergeant
mircea_popescu: stop passing by reference and instead pass by value. lest you sit among
a pile of knotted pointers wondering where all the value went.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't altogether seem
a stretch, to me, this. but to attack the concept is to attack yourself.
mircea_popescu: but until such
a time, i'll extend those dudes trying to do stuff the same slack i extend you, which is : who knows, maybe they are what they wish to be instead of what their environment seems to dictate. and maybe one day.
mircea_popescu: so, how about : you show me you can in fact live like
a man, rather than as
a welfare child, and then i show you where there are partisans, to believe.
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: the goal is much more modest, i just need something that lets me poke around
a running trb
PeterL: is this
a step toward
a working bitcoin-os?
ascii_butugychag: shiva is
a very dangerous instrument, and anyone considering using it for whatever purpose will need to read the docs and 'measure seven times, cut once'
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:12:03; mod6: I have no clue. Was hoping asciilifeform would explain all of this when he gets
a chance.
ascii_butugychag: my first attempt was
a very dirty hack, i re-did it as
a properly vtronic thing (to preserve pedigree linkage to classical tinyscheme)
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:13:24; mircea_popescu: but this is
a very far seeing thing, for now it means ~nothing to bitcoind
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:12:46; mircea_popescu: mod6 not for
a while yet.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 15:22:52; mircea_popescu: Following
a campaign by 100 advocacy groups, Facebook agreed to update its policy on hate speech. The campaign highlighted content promoting domestic and sexual violence against women, and used over 57,000 tweets and more than 4,900 emails that caused withdrawal of advertising from the site by 15 companies, including Nissan UK, House of Burlesque and Nationwide UK. The social media website initially
mircea_popescu: lemme guess, reddit is pompously calling "everyone ignores us"
a "civil war" ?
jurov: "Move 1) Core clearly commits to
a hard fork block size increase, by adding it to its formal roadmap."
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 05:41:09; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> anything involving american 'militia' sums to 0 from start. << they have
a word for the dudes knowing the results of experiments aforehand, and that name pointedly isn't scientist.
BingoBoingo: Truefax: After Deliverance was released
a major tourism and rafting industry developed along that stretch of river
mod6: alright, all of V's automated tests are updated & passing. manual tests look good so far. documentation is updated. should be ready for
a new bundle by the end of the week.

☟︎ danielpbarron: >> Historically Bitcoin is far from "reliable" as we have all experienced. For instance, we had
a ValueOverflow incident on 2010/08/15 in which billions of Bitcoin were generated in 1 single block. << bitcoin didn't even really exist in 2010
adlai: "Rejecting the Core immature Seg Wit proposal is very important... Therefore the 2MB limit and 90% fork consensus should bring us to
a more acceptable fork, and we wish to see consensus on other issues (e.g. increasing unconfirmed tx)."
mircea_popescu: well ignorance is
a poor argument, but we know for
a fact something like it is at work in perception selection
mircea_popescu: so in
a field of 3x3 you won't get equal output from all 9 but usually most of the input from just one
mircea_popescu: the verb,
a fila, describes the careful, discreet look
a poker player gives his card, as well as transitional and usually undesired processes in diodes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to it. romanian expression to denote that dubious state when
a previously intelligent, middle class fellow is going irrecoverably nuts is, "ii fileaza o lampa".
mircea_popescu: if only neurons were disctrete logic gates.
a) i'd feel much better about nature being an idiot ; b) i wouldn't be around to figure that one out anyway.
mircea_popescu: "The McCulloch-Pitts neuron worked by inputting either
a 1 or 0 for each of the inputs, where 1 represented true and 0 false. "
adlai: dissos help with depression to some dubious degree. i'm not convinced this'll prove long-term to be more reliable
a cure than "ceremony helps with personal growth", modulo shamans
adlai: it's worth noting that towards the end of NCO training we had
a lecture (by
a shrink/officer hybrid) about the most effective way to prevent PTSD before the T is even Ped, which is, unintuitively, immediate debriefing.
adlai: mircea_popescu: honestly, i don't think further details beyond what i just deeded is relevant for this forum, or any other, except perhaps
a court convened in my honor by the relevant mob.
mircea_popescu: +/* ADJ is enough slack to align cells in
a TYPE_BITS-bit boundary */
mircea_popescu: there are specific choices in how gribble handles security that were expedient for
a long time, but no longer acceptable, so it'd have to be rewritten. until it isn't, i would think it more like
a play sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn't talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made
a replacement.
☟︎ danielpbarron: the b-
a WoT is the same as the one in that post; the fork happened afterwards
srijan: hi everyone, I am
a PhD student and I am looking for some help regarding the WoT network used here. Who should I be talking to ?
punkman: "The government agency in turn gives Vigilant access to information about all its outstanding court fees, which the company then turns into
a hot list to feed into the free ALPR systems. As police cars patrol the city, they ping on license plates associated with the fees. The officer then pulls the driver over and offers them
a devil’s bargain: get arrested, or pay the original fine with an
