mircea_popescu: "I think his testimony was not appropriate,"
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/the_legend_of_steven_colbert.html << incidentally, this colbert incident should be studied - STUDIED, like i studied fucking seinfeld - by anyone aspiring to any sort of political (as opposed to technical) involvement in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2013 04:34:42; usagi: Everything TU.SILVER does is better than any other similar business in the community, and I guarantee it will be that way forever, because, I have my legacy to consider
mircea_popescu: or as usgavin_fucktardessen would say, "i always advocated engagement".
mircea_popescu: i rcall one ridiculous instance was something about i dunno, b-a related somehow
asciilifeform: i suppose even this gets 'meta'-d
mircea_popescu: i can already picture the reaction "folks" will have to anything, from you going naked in the street to you making chirality engine.
asciilifeform: i can already picture the reaction folks will have to my sha512 that takes 10,001 times longer than the customary one
mircea_popescu: i can see the logic, yes
mircea_popescu: if i put two registers together, have i now made a trinary register ?
asciilifeform: given that i presently lack a fab
mircea_popescu: i understand that. why is this machine of mine binary!
asciilifeform: to be clear, i was speaking of emulated computer, not a physical one
mircea_popescu: what bytes ? i have 2jiggabits free
mircea_popescu: perhaps. i dun see it yet, but this is mostly because i am not a coder myself.
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 20:12:02; asciilifeform: i suppose i spoiled 'v' a month before publishing, and no one noticed it, so perhaps i ought to 'spoil' this one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-10-2015#1298917 << thread where i sorta spilled the beans on this. ☝︎
asciilifeform: you will see how, and laugh, i predict.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i solved this.
mircea_popescu: and i can even use the same trusted set of keys.
punkman: asciilifeform: well for deedbot I hashed and checked for dupes
mod6: Ruby or others can be used as well...and I've only just started using Ruby as well. (which makes me feel dirty lol)
mircea_popescu: omg have i hallucinated yes
mod6: i like it a lot. its sort of too bad that the step definitions behind the "gherkin" or cucumber scenarios are written in Perl, python may have been easier for people to digest. But I'm not as up too par on that.
mircea_popescu: i thought we had a header
asciilifeform: mod6: one aspect which i never fully fleshed out imho needs some thought: when the thing is hooked to a live wwwtron, what is to stop idiots from tossing in arbitrary signed crud from #b-a logs into it ?
mircea_popescu: i've been learning a lot watching :D
mod6: For instance, I assert all of the appropriate antecedents and decendants for each vpatch, etc.
mircea_popescu: but one thing people DO NOT appreciate is that if i had to find the "lost meta-engineers" alf wants to have been in software\
mircea_popescu: jurov the only example i can think of is bingoboingo's fake story
asciilifeform: i have opteron boxes from dell. afaik even this is out of print.
mircea_popescu: so i could wipe this thinkpad and put lispos on it ?
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 23:47:42; mod6: ah. ok. i see. so let the user populate the wots on their own, other stuff, no prob.
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 17:04:18; mircea_popescu: well, i got my link about 500x faster than if i searched for it. somehow.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i did! http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-10-2015#1303531 ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i saw stan barking about autoprocurement of things and must've misremembered
ben_vulpes: dunno that people here realize how young i actually am.
ben_vulpes: i actually drive out to the rural areas to find low ethanol fuels.
ben_vulpes: i have never successfully run down what heresy chevron puts into their techron
mircea_popescu: it is certainly a valid, heavy duty phd. "1915-2015, a century of "oil quality"". THAT is something i'd respect.
mircea_popescu: oil quality is, i daresay, something like beauty in adolescent human females.
ben_vulpes: no i have not!
ben_vulpes: today i learned about the ongoing lng conversions in the shipping industry
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307758 << what is this obscurantist claptrap! if i can't model it adequately and measure it experimentaly it's in your mind! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently!
mats: i can't say i know enough to address your claims
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307364 << I babysat the classroom while the lectures came in over the projector. ☝︎
asciilifeform: but if you enjoy putting a steel door on a drywall room - who am i to say no.
asciilifeform: mats: only thing is, i can do arbitrary dma on just about any box where i can access ~any~ pci device's standard mmio space - no need to screw with the pci config regs
asciilifeform: (can i talk to the nic? does it have dma?)
asciilifeform: yes, i get that this is the fashion, 'box with no root'
mats: i haven't read through all the patchsets, so can't say exhaustively which does what, etc
asciilifeform: (with the possible exception of /proc - but i gotta run strace! what, i have to sudo to strace now?!)
mats: if i find diffs, ill let you know
mircea_popescu: no. the irony is, they think "there was nothing [else] i could do."
mircea_popescu: i got nothing!
mircea_popescu: i will now attempt to mout a defense with my disembodied, bloody remains!
asciilifeform: mats: also we ought to try to agree on some notion of 'results'. for me, 'results' includes not only 'how many 0days published' but also 'what the code i MUST READ TO GRASP THE SYSTEM actually looks like'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307748 << well yeah but i meant in withdrawal. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mats: if you'd like to link to, e.g., diffs, to demonstrate this, i'll read.
mircea_popescu: i mean, your data is your data, ok, but what does it say ?
asciilifeform: mats: i object to the entire pattern of thought on display there.
mircea_popescu: or should i say "unmodelable" ? obscurantist perhaps ? :D
mircea_popescu: kinda the point of that entire thing with trinque yest. "oh, 100% placebo works for me when i tihnk it's 75% drug". good for you, continue.
asciilifeform: i was conjecturing that this particular myth has a kernel of truth in it, just as the stories of 'great flood' are said to
asciilifeform: because i can easily see a rational mechanism for 'i am not now really alive but if $condition then i will be.'
asciilifeform: this is also why i do not piss on 'one day my real life will begin!' fantasy with the same abandon as tlp and mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: and to grok the true sign of luxury : i have an auction in eulora in 20 minutes. which i woke naturally for.
mircea_popescu: i am currently waking 2pm, fancy that.
asciilifeform: THIS is why i covet 'sleep ad libitum' more than anything else.
asciilifeform: aha. when left to my own devices, i'll cycle through the whole face of the clock.
mircea_popescu: i do.
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 16:04:16; asciilifeform: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307560 << i could tell much the same tale as you. eventually i discovered that i have a 26-hour circadian cycle and no amount of punishments, risks, dope, lost money, etc. will do A FUCKING THING about it. the only cure is to break out of workschwitz so that to sleep ad libitum.
mircea_popescu: lest i get lost in a pile of awesome and do no work but grin for the rest of the sunday.
mircea_popescu: well... looking for where i said teh poor usg is between rock and hard place, if it misses but once it's fucked, i instead found http://trilema.com/2012/why-smpoe-is-worth-more-than-mtgox/
asciilifeform: there was an old comic where a schoolteacher says 'i always wear a condom when conducting lessons'
asciilifeform: mats: try to understand what i am objecting to - you might learn something.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307622 << i never grasped this custom: why is it necessary to buy $item the day it comes out? let the other schmucks test...? ☝︎
asciilifeform: if gabriel_laddel actually could sleep ad libitum - that is, WHENEVER he wants, FOR AS LONG AS he wants - i suspect that he wouldn't ask for dope of any kind.
punkman: asciilifeform: I thought the language amusing
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 06:26:09; gabriel_laddel: othewise I wake up and hate myself, am unable to open my eyes etc
asciilifeform: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307560 << i could tell much the same tale as you. eventually i discovered that i have a 26-hour circadian cycle and no amount of punishments, risks, dope, lost money, etc. will do A FUCKING THING about it. the only cure is to break out of workschwitz so that to sleep ad libitum. ☝︎☟︎
referredbyloper: Thanks. I just read the post about phuctor breaking an rsa key.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=idgi | As two friends chuckled about how fake the scene looked one seemingly naive friend commented "I don't get it", "what's so funny?". At last the IDGI was re-born.
trinque: the thing I'm moderately curious about is what question gabriel_laddel is asking
gabriel_laddel: dawwww I'm so curious as to your thoughts on MDMA, cocaine, LSD
gabriel_laddel: right, but I'm here to have a good time in spite of that
gabriel_laddel: I no longer smoke, but programming while smoking was always nice.
trinque: coding, getting the nicotine going and thinking I was "so much more focused"
trinque: gabriel_laddel: actually I will admit to using cigs in precisely the same way you were talking about coffee
trinque: weed I smoked daily for a long time
trinque: if I say "booze" that's saying I got very drunk that month
trinque: I was never one to habitually wreck myself
trinque: not that I'm ancient, but I'm not trying to wreck the thing either
gabriel_laddel: so yeah, I'm optimizing for something specific.
trinque: though I'm 28; I'm not saying I never did
gabriel_laddel: the problem with being healthy is that I get too turned on by everything.
trinque: I don't tend to "abuse" substances
