ascii_field: if it can't rebootstrap bitcoin on alpha centauri, IT'S NOT
A REFERENCE
BingoBoingo played with adding low-s signing to his bastard client seems to work. Prior to 0.9 Bitcoin used whatever S-came arrived at first. Then in run up to 0.9 even-S was tested. Then low-S settled upon. Malleating nodes making duplicate transactions appear in my history got to be
a hassel.
BingoBoingo: Still, bits unflipping on EEPROM seems... like
a problem... Unless they can be reflipped...
ascii_field: but it would stand to reason that, if designing for ultra-long life, you might want to use multiple roms and
a voting circuit...
ascii_field: typically in
a piece of konsoomer crud, something else (e.g. electrolytic cap) blew and no one found out how long eprom could last
ascii_field: 'I think it's unlikely that it will be possible to keep any electronic equipment manufactured after the mid-1990s operating for more than 25-50 years, in part due to the floating gate problem (even in places you don't expect it, because *many* chips now contain flash memory even if you don't know about it)... ...50 years from now we'll probably still have
a working PDP-1, but sadly not too many working HP-35 calculators.'
ascii_field: packaging that claimed it had been inspected by some U.S.
A. customs
ascii_field: 'My OpenBSD 5.7 CD arrived with
a green label affixed to the shipping
ben_vulpes: still, steady state behavior deserves at least
a little look.

a-time idiocy

a-time idiocy
☟︎ ascii_field: cannot be considered
a reliable thing in any sense
ascii_field: trinque:
a connection of the civilized world to the heathen world is necessarily
a fortified outpost run by enthusiasts
trinque: ascii_field: we discussed this as well; even assuming
a trusted gossipd net, there'd still be connections out to the unwashed nether world
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: 'bastard block' is
a subjective thing - it simply means that ~you~ in particular cannot find the antecedent for it
ben_vulpes: the question i bounced into #b-
a is when it's acceptable for another node to relay
a bastard block
trinque: looks like the existing node scoring mechanism is
a turd
☟︎ ben_vulpes: okay so
a lighter gas would be more likely to float up and mix with ambient o2 and ignite?
ascii_field: (flash point; how likely it is to end up near
a spark; how reacts)
ascii_field: 'The Coast Guard said the fire occurred as the ship was loading
a cargo of liquid ethylene.'

a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector-detector's signal is detected, thus preventing detection"
mircea_popescu: <assbot> BitFury to Launch Energy Efficient Immersion Cooling Data Center <<< i thought they've been launching and prelaunching thios for over
a year by now.

☟︎ Bingoboingo: Yeah, and you can use
a lot more NSAID topically than you can orally.
punkman: tried yesterday for first time, was an ok distraction for
a while
Bingoboingo: Could work well. Would work better if you can find such
a linament with an NSAID drug like salicyclate or naproxen in it. Or use two linaments.
punkman: Bingoboingo: are capsicum/mint gels
a scam?
punkman: fun fact, "philipinesa" is
a generic term for maid/cleaner in greek
punkman: white: is punkman around? << next time tell him there's
a log and he can type things for me to read later
Bingoboingo: That an serious talk now. Throw
a dollar in the basket to assuage your guilt about all the coffee you can drink in an hour? What beats that.
Bingoboingo: Yeah, but even going to 3-5 storytime sessions
a week leaves me far more useful time in the day than
a bottle does. That's really gotta be what scares Coindesk et al about qntra year 2.
Bingoboingo realized he might have
a problem when started leaving friends at the bar to chill with bums in the gutter.
nubbins`: i got
a friend who's been through some times
Bingoboingo: What can I say. When I was
a kid I wanted to grow up to be the kinda man who drank whiskey and I grew up to be the kind of man who drank whiskey.
Bingoboingo: nubbins`: Nah, at last not any more than any recovering alcoholic how last time on
a dating site chose the "used up" body type at 24
mircea_popescu: the bitcoin event horizon is such that anyone who buys is
a chump on
a long enough timeline.
nubbins`: of note, there's
a copy of the genesis block times in there
Bingoboingo: Grammarizer needs to aspire to creating stego prose leik: "Bob's feet were
a horror. Advanced stages of gout had swollen his feet which were covered in sores, growths, and hard scaly patches. I know this because Bob's shoes were improvised flip flops, clearly hand made. I can only imagine normal shoes don't come in sizes that would fit over the swollen sacs of disease that passed for his feet. I'm not sure how he walked on these s
mircea_popescu: and i expect gossipd to be undistinguishable for the phillipino/redditarded eye from current b-
a log.
PeterL: is it so much worse than
a pgpgram output?
PeterL: would just require
a couple more lines of code when opening the wordlist file
PeterL: could be easy enough to specify
a document and have it remove duplicates to generate
a word list
assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 03:00:57; mircea_popescu: that is the idea, yes. but the other idea is that it's not safe to use more than
a few hundred words because natural language usage does not normally distribute.
PeterL: use the resulting words as first words in lines of
a poem?
mircea_popescu: yeah. this is
a topic for study, it's not even clear more grammar-ness is
a good thing.
mircea_popescu:
a grammarizer might help put the comma in better, but yeah.
PeterL: the one problem i am still trying to fix is that it seems to ignore using
a specified dictionary and always uses whatever defalt is in the config , I think i might have something wrong in the python logic
renard_abroad: can it be any wordset or
a specifically normally-distributed one?
mircea_popescu: that is the idea, yes. but the other idea is that it's not safe to use more than
a few hundred words because natural language usage does not normally distribute.
☟︎ PeterL: hmm, i'll try to fix that, just
a sec
nubbins`: in which
a seller auctions
a high-value coin without realizing how much it's worth

PeterL: it would be nice if someone familliar with python could take
a look at it?
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for wyrdmantis with note: fellow Eulorian; built some claims for me
whaack: BingoBoingo: At the time, this amounted to approximately .290 Bitcoins per student. With roughly 4,500 undergraduates, this was MIT's way of showing that they were in
a position to easily let go of about 1,300 Bitcoins at the time. << I think the double "at the time" reads weird, but not too big
a deal.
punkman: "In fact, I was (and am)
a GOLD STAR GAY ie
a gay man who's never had sex with
a woman" except all these persons with vaginas
punkman: so there's
a Mr Sleeve in the neighborhood, and apparently he makes shirts
mircea_popescu: and it's
a miserable state of affairs, when i say argentines are too dumb to live i mean exactly this :
mircea_popescu: and i would know, because this is what romania's been doing for about
a millenium.
mircea_popescu: but, to be perfectly clear, the man who goes to work hard so he can buy
a diamond ring so he can "muppet"
a woman into staying put for sex is not some sort of mastermind.
