asciilifeform: shinohai: what's in that last one ? lemme guess, 'pays interest' 'from satoshi's coinz' ?
shinohai: Aside from that one, we have Bitcoin Smart and Bitcoin Interest within ~2 weeks
shinohai: "Block 512666" <<< Easy there, Satan
shinohai: "Bitcoin Candy (CDY) is a new chain forked from Bitcoin Cash at the height of 512666. The original BCH holders will be compensated with 1000 CDY for every BCH held. "

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768395 << kinda the fate of the muppets, go about pantomiming events to the crowd of hunchbacks. "oh, minstrel invented the city of worms!!1 punch and judy are the original queen of england!!" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that era is falling through the floor rapidly.
asciilifeform: which dates back to the long-forgotten era when the mushroom still had hands
asciilifeform: as opposed to , say, the rest of gcc
mircea_popescu: as opposed to which portion of the "gnu ecosystem"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'gcc' fork of gnat isn't even a gnu product in the usual sense. as far as i can tell , it is made lock stock and barrel of the adacore gnat , but with some dr.mengele treatments
mircea_popescu: but that is ok because.
asciilifeform: none of the extant systems , of ANY kind, have anything resembling a sane bootstrap process.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761765 to quote from classics. ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768383 << this here is the real problem. with ~everything. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( can be made to work, with a week's worth of hand-holding, on a particular system, for some values of 'particular system' , then will break later when you step on a previously-unknown mine )
asciilifeform: the latter, in so far as i can tell, is ~complete rubbish
TomServo: shinohai: And making donations to charity!
shinohai: TomServo: Naturally Brian Krebs is now taking credit for this from anyone that will listen ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that's ok, im sure coinbase will make them whole etc. inca dun steal from itself.
TomServo: And here I was giving giving OSTK credit for /supposedly/ keeping the bitcoin income rather than using bitpay like everyone else.
BingoBoingo: In other news, somebody call Blofield: NVIDIA GPUs appear to be vulnerable to SPECTRE
mircea_popescu: ave1 detailed notes of the adventure would be rather useful.
ave1: (also like gnat, gprbuild 2016 needs gprbuild to build etc) ☟︎
ave1: Yes, I've looked at that, gprbuild uses an internal function that should be in 2016 but seems to be missing, so I'm rebuilding everything from scratch
mircea_popescu: heh. amusingly, twas in the logs.
TomServo: As far as failures go, this one is pretty great: https://archive.is/FueB0 .

mircea_popescu: (yes they have a cvasi-alphabet, but a) it has 500 "letters" or some shit and b) it was invented about at the same time as emacs split)
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 17:59 mircea_popescu: hows teh ada musling coming along ?
ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767590, slow and frustrating, I'm currently trying to get gprbuild up and running, so far no success ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but -- let it be said that alphabet mega tool on this road. yes perhaps "end of road" looks unappealing, but it makes hella difference what you travel in.
asciilifeform: ( recall what passed for a language there )
asciilifeform: they did not afaik have the language thrust
mircea_popescu: note however the evident egyptian relation : same process, just as small, accompanying feats of reason, and died of old age.
mircea_popescu: these two are ~same.
asciilifeform: greek advantage, as far as i can tell, is 'die reasonably young, leave good-looking corpse'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is likely true ; certainly the latter sophist episode in greekworld gives much support to theory. greek advantage over original gypsies is just being small and so T manageable.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 14:28 mircea_popescu: better story, "dood took 80% pay cut trying to make a secure drop thing work ; failed because ustards are retarded ; naggumed self".
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768313 << approx same 'trying to' as tor. it was exactly same type of pkitronic nonsense, and fooled nobody with even basic degree of literacy ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 14:24 mircea_popescu: "James’s encyclopedic knowledge of computer and network security was a key reason why newsrooms were comfortable adopting SecureDrop when it was still seen as something relatively new and unknown." what THE FUCK are we talking about, am i in some kind of reality distortion field ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768306 << it was a kind of tor, i.e. usg-engineered transparent 'tool for opposition' . d00d presumably was showing symptoms of blowing the idiocy up, got nailgunned. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-10 06:30 mircea_popescu: basically early google bubble "search", let's hack speech into a broken device that can only be used to communicate to those people we have nothing to say to.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-10#1768272 << i suspect that sanskrit is what the end of the 'greek whisks of meaning' road looks like, however. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: shinohai i thought theirs was refined not mined.
mircea_popescu: perelman had enough fucking sense to tell the ustards where to shove their soiled tp, assange somehow not bright enough to figure it out ?
mircea_popescu: would have delivered much better results in 2018 than the path actually taken, 2), where assange sat in cramped ecuador embassy quarters for five years and got a ~toilet paper roll's worth of pompous "un declarations".
mircea_popescu: ie, between approach 1, where 2012 assange'd have told anders perkelev he's a retarded cuck and should be ashamed of himself in fromt of teh HD, ended up ~maybe~ convicted of the swedish equivalent of http://trilema.com/2011/americanii-au-disperata-nevoie-de-un-sut-in-cur/ and told same anders perkelev in 2015ish that a) he's still just as much of a retarded cuck as he was in 2012 and b) meanwhile he's also a retarded cuck wh
shinohai: Maybe Venezuela will take him and he can mine their new fiat cryptocurrency
mircea_popescu: general rule being that it's always much better to openly mock the fucktards than to take them seriously.
mircea_popescu: ironically, "conviction" of imaginary rape in sweeden would have resulted in better living conditions and 5 years is truly excessive anyway.
knubie: mircea_popescu: think so.. feel bad for the guy, his really copped it last few years, his slowly camouflaged into an Albino
BingoBoingo: Only certain thing is that noone wants to be a goat at scaping time.
mircea_popescu: lel, didn't they steal his "social media" recently
BingoBoingo: Hey, Elon Musk "lost" a DoD satellite according to widely reported rumours and innuendos. Let the ambiguity reign
knubie: http://www.news.com.au/world/europe/educaor-wants-julian-assange-out-of-london-embassy/news-story/8bdae0186186d3906d2a062258e762e4 <<< heh, wonder what will be the next move..
mircea_popescu: apparently cold fusion too hard, quantum computers failed to deliver, so...
BingoBoingo: At this point the marketing cancer is too advanced to tell
mircea_popescu: invade. The government doesn't tolerate this, it doesn't turn a blind eye towards it, it explicitly allows it. The only thing it forbids is billing for a service not performed (e.g. ghost patient.)" and all that.
mircea_popescu: ie "But they have to go to therapy because the clinic requires it because Medicaid requires it (integrated care), and the patients need the clinic because that's how they're getting their SSI, not to mention the Zannies. The docs need them to come because that's how they earn their living, and the government allows this because it needs someone to deal with American poverty until either we discover cold fusion or the aliens
mircea_popescu: or it's unsourced tlp copy/paste.
BingoBoingo: Or it's marketing for the ongoing undeath of the X-files
BingoBoingo: It's the someone dug through cold war freedom of information act'd plans and filtered through through NASA's recent hype over weird space rocks
mircea_popescu: is this the "fema is storing bullets" thing again ?
BingoBoingo: Anyways latest rumor taking the alt-alt by storm is USG's obvious preparation for fake alien invasion.
BingoBoingo: But yes, gotta cought the water or not cough
BingoBoingo: The sooner we cube the sun, strap it to a pallet and abscond the more time it will take the terrans to realize the TMSR was the alien invasion after all
mircea_popescu: but, in any case, salvation of the drowning is work for the hands of the self-same drowning.
BingoBoingo: Well yes, everything else is opportunity cost taking away from the critical sun cubing effort.
mircea_popescu: well i dunno i can just add everything to opportunity cost, the fact that the sun's not a cube may overshadow all these considerations.
BingoBoingo: Are you sure? Are the laffs worth it compared to other laffs you could be having? Like laffs on the seekrit beach
mircea_popescu: hey, it costs me ~nothing to keep reading the obits.
BingoBoingo: But UStardation likely too deep for that. Gotta play seekrit Agent
BingoBoingo: Hopefully the next one has the sense to defect to the republic before thumbing nose at old handlers
BingoBoingo: Perhaps naggumed "self" after finding bug needing fix that handlers didn't want fixed? Threatened defection to Republic and all?
mircea_popescu: next time, find the republic instead.
mircea_popescu: better story, "dood took 80% pay cut trying to make a secure drop thing work ; failed because ustards are retarded ; naggumed self". ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Well, that's what it is today. It is thing derped much about and they celbrate the accreted derp
mircea_popescu: "usg made the us army into what it is today" "you mean a useless piece of shit, janissary corps 2.0 ?" "yeah!"
mircea_popescu: but reality winner happened... afterwards ? iirc this event was post 2013, and "became what it is today"
BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell, SecureDrop was some sorta pantsuit thing Gawker and a couple other derpedias advertised accepting

BingoBoingo: Back to the other subject and efficacy https://www.elobservador.com.uy/a-lo-hiroo-onoda-se-quedaron-esperando-un-piquete-que-nunca-llego-n1158070
mircea_popescu: "James’s encyclopedic knowledge of computer and network security was a key reason why newsrooms were comfortable adopting SecureDrop when it was still seen as something relatively new and unknown." what THE FUCK are we talking about, am i in some kind of reality distortion field ? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And that is truly the mystery
mircea_popescu: "Yet SecureDrop would not currently exist without James, and he deserves all the commendation in the world for making it what it is today." << i'll need a primer on this, what "is it today" ?
BingoBoingo: Aha, the branding superiority saga repeats
mircea_popescu: there was a time (not so long ago!) when EVERY mark was known by ~everyone ; and not knowing one was perceived as a subjective lack not as an objective deffect ; and the whole shebang paid well. today i couldn't even order more of "his stuff" if i wanted to, putting in question the very possibility of "his" in "his stuff" and moreover the justification of labour or economic activity generally.
