ascii_shmoocon: aha it was surprisingly nonlame. turns out that opencv is
a piece-of-shitte, you can evolve bitmaps that crash it.
mircea_popescu: "these people'd be
a lot more interested if they tried cooking naked."
mircea_popescu: ascii_shmoocon you know the b,tmsr~ emissary makes
a report that sounds
a lot like the nsa emissary's.
mircea_popescu: technically. there isn't really
a good solution to the problem in my estimation either.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373877 << these were entirely unrelated parts of the zil factory afaik. only reason "zil" was chosen was that b wanted to shine
a positive light on the company, like bahamas does with cadillac. not like it matters whether 'beast' shares parts with gmc trucks. hell it probably wouldn't break down in the middle of diplomatic missions if it were
a custom job !
☝︎ pete_dushenski: even then, it'll work to
a perfectly adequate extent. i'm not sure anyone will be worse off for brunei's adherence to last century's mores.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373871 << except the sultan of brunei (as everyone knows?) has
a thing for cars, not computers, and so has had dozens if not hundreds of custom-built automobiles, many of which he never drove and later left to rot in the sun, but that's his prerogative. but no, it didn't all go to glitzy whores.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: He linked me
a dpaste. Solid decision.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1373868 << cars were better pre-cpu for
a reason you've already pointed out in the (lost) logs, viz. constant firmware crashes and general electrical gremlins living in cars of the last two decades. no cpu in the car anymore ? good riddance. maybe then i'd actually buy
a newer model.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: but now i am
a man and i hang fools by my own hand
ben_vulpes: once i was
a child, i extended them as much rope as i thought they'd need to hang themselves
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: So what was so irritating it had to happen in
a pm conversation?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: RE:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-11-2015#1325573 << Employer matches 401k up to ~6% of annual income pre-tax. The 401k program allows you to tke
a 401k loan and pay yourself back. Best case scenario you pay the fiat back over X period (as long as you don't leave the job), or somehow there is some huge collapse and you just never pay it back.

assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 02:12:24; asciilifeform: today one is not permitted to fly so much as
a mile without filling out forms in triplicate
pete_dushenski: these were evidently
a first-class mode of transport, substantially more expensive to own and operate than
a car, and not, to my eye, made of cardboard (though planes
a decade earlier were, by and large)
mod6: asciilifeform: hey, for
a long time now I've been searching for the fix you provided to vdiff for debian/ubuntu; for some reason it barfs saying that there is an unmatched quote or something.
pete_dushenski: perhaps i read too much into that question, but the idea that one would need to specifically name future miners and their means and methods seemed (and seems)
a bit silly to me. they, whoever they are, will find
a way, because how not ?
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 01:42:12; mircea_popescu: so you got
a 4x improvement in qualityt of life for the slaves&servants in question out of the very simple measure of halving the costs and doubling the quality ; and at the expense that julie nobody doesn't get to pretend on reddit and gates doesn't get to pretend in washpo anymore.
pete_dushenski: this peanut butter chocolate cheesecake is
a bit disappointing. icing is too sweet and it's not "cheezy" enough. more like an ultra-rich, ultra-dense, slightly creamier cake than you'd otherwise expect. the most impressive thing about this cake was the sheer mass. the box must've been 20 lbs for
a 10"er.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> if i can't read it in (max) half hour and say WHAT EACH MOTHERFUCKING LINE DOES it is not
a correct implementation !! << any ideas on
a correct implementation?
BingoBoingo: jixei: I see, care to give us
a little bit of your history?

a net negative effect on the privacy of SPV users"
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 22:31:04; mod6: the idea of V is
a versioning system based upon patches that include SHA512 hashes of the file before and after the given patch is applied -- and checks the given signatures of the wot entities who have signed off on the patch.
mircea_popescu: "is the choice between being
a priss or getting laid, or is the choice between what ~kind~ of getting laid ? maybe i'm getting laid with jesus!"
mircea_popescu: he is saying what orlov is saying, and what yarvin is saying, and what generally the castrated son of
a stupid anglo whore is always fucking saying
mircea_popescu: this is
a substantially different statement from your "i expect it won't work".
mircea_popescu: so wait, i shouldn't fucking own things because "they canb bestolen" and instead be
a good slave and own my two arms ?
raedah: hello. here i am known as raedah. ive been
a dev for joinmarket for the past few months. i like sexual relations with women, resisting invalid authority, educating ignorance, and being in nature.
raedah: met someone yesterday who's family migrated from the Montana mountains back in the day because the neighboring families had
a habbit of solving disputes by killing eachothers children.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 01:48:39; mircea_popescu: heck, even in 1950 stuff was
a lot more reliable than the shit that passes today.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 01:45:44; mircea_popescu: otherwise, doctor came to your fucking house. like they still did when i was
a child, and ironicallyt - for the exact same reason.
mircea_popescu: there's no reason they should have, statistically. that they did is
a miracle.
mircea_popescu: i want
a single, competent it corp like i want an elk horn up my ass.
mircea_popescu: god fucking help us with
a symbolics entrenched in success.
mircea_popescu: the whole thing that company was -
a giant apple store.
mircea_popescu: that it fucking died
a sad death almost excuses the fact microsoft didn't.
mircea_popescu: b) symbolics was
a nefarious piece of shit i'd burn with my own hands if it was still aroundm.
mircea_popescu:
a) you don';t get to say what's the criteria for you being proven wrong
guruvan: no trouble - I'm gonna play
a little with V tonight

a small steel mill ? yes. impossible ? no.
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 23:21:10; pete_dushenski: you better have
a unique turn signal stalk in your 599 gtb. or else.
mod6: 1]: with version 99997 create (by hand)
a ~/.wot directory and populate it with keys named as their irc-nick and .asc, like: mod6.asc or asciilifeform.asc
mod6: yeah perl 5, and that should be it. if you want it to be able to utilize the graphing utility, you need to install Graph::Easy, but that is not
a requirement or prereq to it running.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-01-2016#1372994 << this is readily disproven by the markets for tourbillons, cessnas, and ferraris. none of which "need" the mass market. so even if these manufacturers might sell some swag to the plebes and make
a dime doing it, they arguably innovated more before they reduced themselves to part-time sheep herding..
mod6: the new, yet unreleased v99996 will check the resultant hashes of the files touched by
a vpatch -- to add another layer to this.
