shinohai: Should I stumble upon an example I will gladly hip it to you.
asciilifeform: shinohai: i keep looking for this, because it'd make a glorious esp8266 substitute
asciilifeform: as i understand this presently exists as a deliberately-crafted commercial product, used in cameras. but picture if it were picked up by cn artisans of flimflam
asciilifeform: shinohai et al: i keep waiting for that magical day when these fakes become something like the real thing in the sense of having an embedded wireless nic, silently storing blocks in 'cloud' somewhere
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-09-2015#1269012 <<< I actually got one of these abt a year ago, a thumb drive with a couple of cheap bolts hot-glued to the case. ☝︎
Birdman: Ah, i'd been inactive as there wasnt anything i could do until i get my bank roll up
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 17:44:48; punkman: ascii_field, I wouldn't think fake capacity numbers are a problem, but yeah I guess you gotta write $x GB of data to it that can't be compressed away
shinohai: I am getting some socket recv error 110
mircea_popescu: derp. you don't control the narrative. i control the narrative. get fucked.
mircea_popescu: "My commitment to the American people is both simple and straightforward: I will cook any and every number that needs to be cooked. We’ll see continued job growth, probably an unemployment rate under 2 percent. You also have my word that I’ll keep the LFPR above 66 percent. With a little help from my friends, we can probably run a surplus within a year or so, and pay down all our debt over the next decade or so. No
mircea_popescu: What I do not see are locals ready to engage in such activity."
shinohai: Probably the only show I ever bothered to actually purchase.
mircea_popescu: it's about 90% of all us tv i watched, by volume.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?
mircea_popescu: ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind!
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?
mircea_popescu: GEORGE (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety.
BingoBoingo: I thought for true butthurt you needed [=========]~~~~~~ tampons instead to apply pressure to the bleeding. WTF is a bandaid going to do?
shinohai: I have a never-ending supply of butthurt-bandaids. ( ::: [ ] ::: )
mircea_popescu: "i'm 30 and my life is over now because i can't be arsed to learn any skills"
cazalla: because, you know, earning the label requires taking your kid to the gp, to a specialist, to an expert, a support group, filling out paperwork for gov autism assistance bezzlars.. wow look at all this attention my kid is getting, must be special and therefore, so am i as a parent, please Like and subscribe
ascii_field: lol did i even dignify that with an answer ?!
mircea_popescu: So yes, I think they will survive."
mircea_popescu: I bet they've abstracted out the fact that languages are not all that important; they're just the tip of the iceberg of complexity.
mircea_popescu: Now I guess one could argue that those sorts of heroes are what MIT is supposed to produce, but as has been mentioned, this course is not just for CS students. So the real question is, can the CS heroes of tomorrow survive an introductory course in Python? Well, consider that they have probably been modding games since 10, hacking PhP at 12, realizing at 14 they need to learn a 'real' language (C#, Ruby, Python), by 15
mircea_popescu: "The same sort of creativity artists possess, who work with media that are idiosyncratic. It's a different mindset. I see the reddit-gen programmers talk about things on a completely meta-level. To them, MySql is the hardware. Is it a bad thing? Not necessarily. Some of them hopefully will dig down the stack and be the low-level heroes. But that should (and probably can) only be a small percentage.
ascii_field: and i still insist, shit is not paint
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i wrote this
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: I saw some lots for sale at a far sheaper per unit price. I may have to investigate
mircea_popescu: i don't think the mexicans will allow that.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 13:33:50; funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267185 <-- I'm told the phrase is antiquated and mostly used in jest today. Perhaps interesting that the translation of "revolution" is more akin to "molting" than "spinning".
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267982 << from what i gather it's "antiquated" and "only used in jest" the same sig heil is. ☝︎
cazalla: i always find these threads amusing tbh
mircea_popescu: staunch defender ? and here i thought i fucking started the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: i srsly think it wanted a taste.
mircea_popescu: there's easily plurious gb of music i also similarly want.
mircea_popescu: i have more than a coupla gb of porn i shot myself of my own women. and im keeping it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field at least i didn't need a si fab for it eh.
ascii_field: but i do not have a fab. wake me up when you have one.
trinque: I can think of many applications on the net I'd like to demand only ever say things according to grammar G
trinque: I see two separate problems
trinque: well I'll consider it, but for my education
ascii_field: i do not regard it as usable
ascii_field: the ONLY lib i found so far that does something like what is needed is a perl turd, http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/overview.html
ascii_field: to see what i mean, try adding a patch that depends on a rel1 terminus but is not built on by anything else.
punkman: ascii_field: mike_c: i'd prefer that someone were to add the desperately needed topological walker, rather than focusing on the little chipped paint bits, but that's just me << what would this walker do?
mike_c: I love how small it is.
ascii_field: aha, i didn't. specifically in the interest of keeping it short and destroying redundancy
ben_vulpes: mike_c: and that's after i burned out like 70% of them!
mike_c: so many globals :) ok, I'll definitely take a swing at reorganizing a bit
ascii_field: i am also counting the function itself
ascii_field: i despise the whole language
ben_vulpes: you're not wrong, i just hate the straightjacket of argparse's function call behavior.
ascii_field: i will borrow a page from mircea_popescu and say 'i don't give a fuck HOW' it is done
ascii_field: as in, why the fuck do i have to change something in 3 separate places when adding a knob
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: in principle i object to repetition in a proggy
mike_c: ok. i'm working from your tarball. I'll see what the diffs end up looking like
ben_vulpes: mike_c: i posted a tarball, as i did some messy surgery and expected brutal diffs. if you can get cleaner diffs, that'd be great.
trinque: I dunno about the tactical sense in every soldier creating his own
ben_vulpes: okay, i get it now stan.
ascii_field: mike_c: i confess that my intent was to have folks rewrite it
jurov: yes that's what i had in mind. nothing stops anyone from producing arbitrary number of "almost signed" packets
trinque: I understand that very well.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i can show rigorously that it can be. but requires custom si.
mike_c: and if i alter one of the public keys more tests fail, so that's good.
ben_vulpes: mike_c: that is the test i left off at. feel free to replace the "gotcha" assertion with an actual test, or just eliminate the assertion completely.
trinque: seems I could have whatever shitty computers I like behind such a device, and could be relatively certain that no command and control messages are making it in
ben_vulpes: and then on top of that, every project i pick up has some arcane setup for running its tests, because...legacy.
ben_vulpes: this is a thing i do once per project and always forget how it's supposed to go.
jurov: i'm trying to imagine this thing. if we are going to have 1000 nodes , they will necessarily be on misc home connections
ben_vulpes: mike_c: nominally unittest does test discovery, i focused on making tests though.
mircea_popescu: "i don't see"
mike_c: i'm just trying to run the tests for now :)
jurov: mircea_popescu: i don't see any big obstacle against ddosing 1000 targets with slow connections vs. targeting one
ascii_field: mike_c: i'd prefer that someone were to add the desperately needed topological walker, rather than focusing on the little chipped paint bits, but that's just me
mike_c: i haven't used this module much. not sure what sop is.
trinque: aha, and I discussed it with you before as well
mike_c: ben_vulpes: I'm used to doctests. how do i run your v unittests?
ascii_field: trinque: i described this device in agonizing detail
trinque: I have a question regarding this. Would a device operating at the network boundary, parsing packets and only permitting some signed wad in, only signed wads out be valuable in any way?
mircea_popescu: maybe. i'm firmly in the camp of "let people try things"
ascii_field: now this i recall
mircea_popescu: anyway, incorporated here by reference, the discussion where i showed you how holding bitcoin destroys nsa.
jurov: i remember we discussed when the patch went in
trinque: mircea_popescu: yes I think using "the logs" has a lot of fruit left to give
mircea_popescu: wtf. i also use gpg.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field a) i didn't make it!
mircea_popescu: trinque i woke up last night to the fact that email only persists because we havewn't fully groked the importance and effects of b-a yet.
trinque: I would use a text-only computer all day provided it had something of a net connection
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if you - or anybody else - can write something recognizable as this item, i promise to take off my hat
trinque: BingoBoingo: certainly; e-mail itself sucks, and I'm ready to accept that it's as bad as using facebook messenger, and let someone else run spamassassin day and night
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 12:35:42; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267767 << this is a CATASTROPHICALLY bad idea, because any attempt is simply asking for self-delusionary masamunification (sorry gabriel_laddel, but you know precisely what i mean.) -- this being, 'aha this is a turd, but WE made it and therefore doesn't stink and is somehow edible'
BingoBoingo: trinque: All email providers suck. I don't endorse fastmail, but I condemn it less than other options.
mircea_popescu: lobbes people assume this is the case but i have not observed it to be true.
mircea_popescu: but i'd note that if there was a #derive-assets where i could get a half hour's window, this would be a non problem.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i suppose it is a win then that i cannot ask stoutemyer anything. after all, my only qualification is 'can walk', aha.
ascii_field: which is why i was a little surprised when thought it was mentioned
ascii_field: i fucking loved this little thing
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i suppose this is what the obese have ruined in the world. scarcity.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field hey, i dunno if you ever played this, but there was a GREAT, an absoluterly fucking fantastic game in the pre-windows days
