kakobrekla: second best is to have
a house keeper, but that has failed.
kakobrekla: the best way to keep
a house tidy is not messing it up in the first place
phf: i keep bookmarks around, per subject that i'm interested in, or mp/ascii dialogues that i might want to reread.
a solution that i was thinking of hacking up in my own system is ranged highlights, basically same idea as on trilema, but instead of point-to-point it's entries and ranges. so on subject of v the link becomes entries=333,350-380,490-492,500-505. perhaps that sort of bookmarks can be shared, to have an illuminated log
kakobrekla: better comparison than professor seems to me
a giant book that contains everything without any order or index or chapters or ...
mircea_popescu: if you had
a summary you would in principle be able to.
mircea_popescu: the thing is tho, from my own experience reading logs, every time i try to jump forward in time i end up with
a mess. works much better for me to read them serially and think about it that way. which is why i parse the logs to this day, years later.
kakobrekla: the problem is poor separation of threads. i have been actually thinking about this
a few weeks ago and though i might add forward linking to the logs, along with the existing back linking
mircea_popescu: one thing i can see : the conversation graph is incredibly complex. there's two practical ways to present it : either as
a flat file without any structure other than what's provided by the author ; or else as
a properly restated graph, which will do
a lot of node replication as oyu have to unwind the rat's nest of reference.
kakobrekla: before
a solution is found, the problem needs recognition, no?
mircea_popescu: i mean, for as long as there isn't
a solution, the best thing to do is not pretend to solve the problem
kakobrekla: it was acceptable in the old days of b-
a when we werent actually been doing anything. now theres n projects being juggled and its
a pain.
danielpbarron: irc is an old favorite of mine. Been using it since 2004 (although i took
a several years break from 2008 till i found this place)
kakobrekla: here have b-
a, 100 megs of text thread. yay.
mircea_popescu: suppose i quote two different things respondent. the thread should now split, as
a tree. it does not do that.
trinque: mircea_popescu │ trinque if you're running it in cramped position you could just follow the republic nodes i guess << I've got space; perhaps cramped in other ways. For now I'll switch to the foundation bitcoind. If there are still problems, I'll move the node to
a separate instance with undisclosed IP and communicate inside AWS. If that still has problems, would actually be pretty interesting.
jurov: mircea_popescu: how much memory it has available? i have seen newly started node gain 60MB RSS in
a hour (my experimental limiter did not kick in due to bug)
mircea_popescu: have the firewall set up so it can only connect to them (deny from all accept from X Y Z) as
a way around the incredibly braindamaged way the client itself handles connections
assbot: Logged on 29-11-2015 22:51:01; pete_dushenski: "YouTube pays up to $4 (£2.47) per 1,000 views, meaning the most popular hosts can earn
a substantial sum of money." << such bullshit. i bet anything this figure is from 2009.
assbot: Logged on 29-11-2015 21:41:41; pete_dushenski: "When monetizing premature mortality using EPA-recommended data, we find
a social cost of ~$450m over the sales period. For the current fleet, we estimate that
a return to compliance for all affected vehicles by the end of 2016 will avert ~130 early deaths and avoid ~$840m in social costs compared to
a counterfactual case without recall." << lulzy volkswagen emissions 'impact research'
trinque: jurov: yeah, I am going to try switching to
a foundation node.
mircea_popescu: "The question I have is why do we have to learn about it through guesswork, aren't miners themselves interested in Bitcoin being
a reliable payment system?" aka "why don't people in bitcoin give
a shit about people on reddit/github/tardstalk"
jurov: kakobreklaa: maybe update b-
a frontpage
pete_dushenski: 1000 youtube videos currently costs <$1 to manufacture. that's
a fact.
pete_dushenski: "YouTube pays up to $4 (£2.47) per 1,000 views, meaning the most popular hosts can earn
a substantial sum of money." << such bullshit. i bet anything this figure is from 2009.
☟︎ ascii_field: as soon as i type out
a symbol, it ought to be in the completion list
ascii_field: for one thing, i DON'T NEED
a thing that fucks with my buffer layout!!
phf: there's
a nice demo of Lucid xemacs based c++ environment that does all kinds of dynamic things. '95, since then, much progress.
ascii_field: and that what we have now makes the same amount of sense as having
a separate gas and brake pedal for each of 4 wheels in
a car.
phf: ascii_field: i mostly said it to make you twitch, since i know clang is out, and CEDET is
a major pain in the ass to setup. i periodically go through exercise every couple of years, and give up in disgust
ascii_field: (if i can't define
a symbol and have it IMMEDIATELY typecompletable, it's shit)
pete_dushenski: "When monetizing premature mortality using EPA-recommended data, we find

☟︎ pete_dushenski: otherwise, give it
a few generations of complacency and mankind inevitably degenerates
trinque: municipal assemblies, which he called ‘‘democracy without the state.’’ These assemblies would form
a grand confederation that would extend across all Kurdish regions of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran << the old-new thing
ben_vulpes just witnessed apple deinstall
a second google app from his phone
ben_vulpes: once upon
a time (when i still got sick, before i brought my own disease vector into the house) i dissolved some curcumin into the saline solution
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: they come in saline-under-co2-in-
a-can versions
BingoBoingo: Ah, but you have
a catecholamine drug in the tea! That's the secret!
BingoBoingo: And no.
A fucking neti pot is not an option because I'm not
a hippy and I don't want fucking brain parasites because this is the third world.
mircea_popescu: if you're
a 20something woman working in an office and you think you might have been raped by
a 50 something outdoors type of guy, poor you. if you're
a 50something outdoors type of guy and think you might have been raped by
a 20something irs office drone, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: if you're trying to get an abortion, yay! if you're trying to buy
a gun BOO!!!
mircea_popescu: if you think you're "transsexual" that's
a protected class. if you got allergies, fuck you.
trinque: hm. on the other side, Crimea is
a bit closer to Ankara isn't it.
trinque: they also tweeted something about it
a few days ago
ascii_field has been having peculiar problems connecting, for
a couplea days now
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: mebbe deedbot is afraid of the gossipd similarity to usenet? Fears #b-
a.tasteless?
ascii_field actually prefers usenet-style conversation, and was resistant to b-
a-ization initially because of it
mircea_popescu: to put this morning's set of realisations in
a simple, clear package : making
a battleship is nowhere near as good as making
a battleship out of ustard decapitated heads.
ascii_field: not to mention the www stack (apache et all) is
a massive turd
ascii_field: 'server' is
a braindamaged concept, period
mircea_popescu: is both
a lot more feasible and way cheaper than the alternative "we'll lay our own cable fu"
mircea_popescu: looky.
a gossipd based on the concept that you keep firewalled clients at home and they connect to
a random pile of websites, which simply respond with pgp -w text
ascii_field: and permits all-comers to cost you memory (for however short
a time) and not only cpu cycles.
ascii_field: because
a node of whom you are not
a friend ought not to be distinguishable in any way whatsoever from an empty wall socket.
ascii_field: he asked 'i get 7.9999999 bts/byte from urandom, why not from yours' and we had
a chat about the idiocy of whitening
ascii_field: btw i had
a fella ask me about rng at
a job interview thing
ascii_field: iirc i even left one of the chaps with
a suitable plug
jurov: i'd do it like - with every party agree on
a different corpus to be fed to shannonizer
ascii_field: my ancient version of this used
a modulated shannonizer
mircea_popescu: which is to say : it provides
a clean, standard interface that preserves personal and various thing entirely.
ascii_field: imho stego by its very nature ought to be
a personal and various thing
adlai wanted to donate
a couple articles to the archive
mircea_popescu: gossipd must work on
a pull model. exactly like old ml.
mircea_popescu: there is absolutely no reason for gossipd to work on
a push model of data transfer.
pete_dushenski: "i'll kick myself if i don't buy the collected works of this straight-
a's liberal arts student"
pete_dushenski: ""He pulled out
a handgun and shot her in the head," Dobbs said."
pete_dushenski: "
A customer pulled out
a gun and shot and killed an employee at
a Waffle House restaurant in Mississippi on Friday after she asked him not to smoke, police said." << "for piiiiiiigleeeeet"
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 16:33:08; mircea_popescu: anyway, my data seems to suggest that the enemy will be pushing
a fork before the decade's out. whether we at that time have
a counterfork ready or not is pretty much what decides the fate of the free world.
pete_dushenski: "and here's
a top-up on your Thalidomide 'scrip, we've no evidence of it being bad!"
mircea_popescu: or else
a slab of wonderbread dipped in palm oil with petrocheese and some fenyl-flavouring split in 32
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re the eventual republican reimplementation of pgp : other than the -
a armored mode, i want it to also have
a -w armored mode. in this mode, it should load
a list of lines from
a file, modulo the message by the line count of that file, replace every numeric unit with the respective line,
pete_dushenski: "New York is by no means Mafia-free. But the mob isn’t what it once was, enfeebled by decades of police crackdowns, media attention and old age. The Mafia has been relegated largely to the realm of entertainment, just as Manhattan’s Italian culture has become
a tourist attraction."
pete_dushenski: haha mkay. low-class whiteys don't have enough 'long-term perspective' and fear for their own survival in the face of
a DIMINISHING trough from which MORE cattle are to eat. and this is what passes for 'harvard research' ?
pete_dushenski: ""It's hard to imagine that if we're eating
a pizza, that adding more people would somehow give us more pizza. It takes
a much-longer-term perspective," Norton said."
pete_dushenski: ""What Trump is tapping into is the mindset of
a zero-sum game," Norton said, which he called an "intuitive" way of looking at the economy and society."
pete_dushenski: "Michael Norton,
a psychologist at the Harvard Business School, has found that on average, whites now view discrimination against members of their own race as
a larger problem than discrimination against blacks."
jurov: so not
a big advantage
