mike_c: punkman: thanks, I'll check it out. there's a lot of versions floating around
PeterL: well, I have had it stuck in a "retirement account" for a few years now, seemed like a good idea back when I put it in ... bleh ☟︎
mike_c: Currently I am wrangling with python gnupg, which turns out to be a pile of shit
asciilifeform: mike_c: may be premature, i haven't fully written the antecedent walker yet. but basic idea was to create a browsable (possibly clickable) directed acyclic graph
PeterL: well, we have one of those, but only the oldest would understand what to do with it (maybe the second, I should pull it out and see sometime?) the third wouldn't eat the stones, he would probably grab them and throw them across the room, causing the first two to come screaming to me that their brother ruined the game
Adlai: PeterL: if there's more than one, and they're old enough not to try eating the stones, i'd suggest replacing the TV with a goban
thestringpuller: "And so I ask you this one question. Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them? " - Bender
PeterL: I don't have my kids watch TV for development, it is just entertainment
PeterL: I mean, they are not bad as kids shows, but still definitely aimed at kids and not adults
PeterL: like, I wouldn't sit down and watch it myself, but if they watch it I don't stab my ears, like if "Dora the Explora" gets turned on
PeterL: I never watched "Teen Titans", which I understand followed them fighting bad guys? Teen Titans Go is absurdly silly, mostly just them hanging around their tower, it's ok in small doses
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2015 10:00:10; cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/WE60zvu.jpg dat holding his own wrist
chetty: Because when they put your boobs in they suck out your brains.// odd I always thought it was the second head that was the issue with brain loss
cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/WE60zvu.jpg dat holding his own wrist ☟︎
fluffypony: I wear the same clothing when I'm working on my drones
fluffypony: "This shot was needed after my last project which no one believed I made. Because when they put your boobs in they suck out your brains. Everyones knows that's how it works:-) If it's still a problem I'll just have to wear a GoPro for the whole process LOL"
fluffypony: but that's why shows I've enjoyed, like Mozart in the Jungle, have no "cable" ratings
fluffypony: I wouldn't fall into those numbers at all
fluffypony: neither do I
cazalla: well, what do i know, i don't watch tv on tv
fluffypony: I think the "omg real hacker tools" thing is to appeal to script kiddies
punkman: it's reddity/derpy, sure, I'll give you that
fluffypony: I dunno cazalla
cazalla: i don't buy that that chick came up with that shop, probably marketing material and it'll be on kickstarter tmw
punkman: fluffypony: inb4 shoes banned from datacenters << I'd visit fluffypony's nudist datacenter
punkman: jurov: I didn't put a hash in my detached sig filename though
punkman: so 21.co has mined 17k bitcoins in last 4 months. I wonder if they have any of their own chips or just renting.
asciilifeform: some time i gotta do subtitles for these. very educational.
asciilifeform: see the 4'21" mark where appears a multilayer phantasy where 'i can buy back my old construction equipment, do honest work!!111'
asciilifeform: in fact, i saw these, as a boy, and they permanently defined what 'advertising' means in my head. ☟︎
trinque: ;;later tell felipelalli apparently I have used your app, Bitcoin Paranoid. neat
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:19:55; mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno)
phf: mircea_popescu: i think mavrodi keeps spawning new mmm's, getting shut down or going bankrupt and then moving on. his last venture mentioned on wikipedia is MMM India in 2006, but there's no mention of this new mmmglobal
trinque: Hello. My name is Jean, a manager of MMM Philippines, showing you my GH in the amount of P33,000. Thank you my donors and thank you MMM. Indeed its a great privilege to be part of this wonderful community. << ey asciilifeform, I found your filipinos
mircea_popescu: or i could also not join it, and also make 100%
trinque: I can't even tell
danielpbarron: i've read stuff since then, i just don't always read it all in order
mircea_popescu: yeah but what i'm saying is that this mmm and the 1990s historical item aren't much related
phf: mircea_popescu: https://i.imgur.com/neNetGr.png, http://mmmglobal.org
asciilifeform: in other possible nyooz, i have been told that sergei mavrodi, of the repeated mega-pyramid scheme 'mmm' fame, now has a crackpot altcoin of his own.
asciilifeform: i suppose this may technically be a degenerate case of the other solution.
asciilifeform: in the sense that i can't go and just connect to, e.g., 'swift', because i'd like to.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - i don't even have any objections, which is more of a journalistic achievement than a pulizer in each hand.
mircea_popescu: certainly a lot better than the last time i read an article on zero hedge.
asciilifeform: mod6: these appear to be correct (to naked eye), even rebased as i described. neato!
mircea_popescu: i dun think we're there yet.
mircea_popescu: "everyone else i'm giving tictacs, but since you ask privately, here is the REAL quantum mechanics"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd imagine there is room for requests for a dec vax port or whatnot.
asciilifeform: i prolly ~would~ end up saying 'there is a log...'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i know these as 'pocket banks' aha
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, seems as best as i can determine the consensus in actual us finance.
mircea_popescu: Despite the fervor in the Bitcoin community, the odds are against Bitcoin XT. "This is not the first attempt to create a better Bitcoin, but I believe Bitcoin has such critical mass of resources devoted to it that it is unlikely anybody would abandon it for an incremental improvement,"says Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. "None has gotten much traction."
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: some of the appeal, i think, was in the notion of not having to physically house / feed / clean the thing
mircea_popescu: WHERE DO I SIGN UP!11
mircea_popescu: or else i can pay you 10 bucks per million ?
mircea_popescu: seriously, i can buy a cpu that outpuits cpu cycles at 500 a second over five years for 500 bucks
asciilifeform: presently i can't entirely understand why the swarm of sybils has materialized exactly there - aws isn't particularly cheap, if you actually use the cpu/disk
asciilifeform: presently i know of no reason to care
asciilifeform: (the five or so i tried)
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 01:16:09; ben_vulpes: solve my system of equations goddamnit don't try to intuit what i mean
asciilifeform: unless i catastrophically misread.
mod6: asciilifeform: i can put up the individual .vpatch files for you to review tomorrow.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:42:58; mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform and whoever else is privately thinking of reimplementing pgp : one thing i'd dearly love would be the ability to encrypt not to X, but to "l1".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: please consider taking the thing in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249328 + http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249335 and specifying a little more in detail. because i am utterly failing to grasp what was being sought here. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249381 << this is a potentially catastrophic misuse of the thing. if you glom the patches together, i can't sigverify'em, can't (easily) match them against earlier publications of same, and most of all - can't read it worth a damn ☝︎
asciilifeform: the garden-variety gpg is closest i know of
asciilifeform: (and anyone who thinks i ought to be considering a thing that uses openssl, or a winblowz turd, or something for mac, -- go eat a caltrop.)
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:42:47; mircea_popescu: point was agreed to before i think. which is how the discussion re what pgp implementation must be like got started.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249705 << i find it interesting that there is ~exactly one~ actual, working implementation of pgp ☝︎
asciilifeform: mats: i was wondering how long it would take you to notice!
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TIFU | Today on reddit I read the funniest story in the TIFU category. ... She was jackin me off so i put it into her tits and BAM, im the Master of TiFu. by Coffee Cakes ...
funkenstein_: Hi Vexual. I saw a massive black bear today chillin' on side of the road
funkenstein_: i loled at "rebbit" in logs (amphibitards? psheepers?)
mats: asciilifeform: 'signify' does not appear to link openssl either... am i missing something or wut?
mircea_popescu: point was agreed to before i think. which is how the discussion re what pgp implementation must be like got started. ☟︎
mats: 17:32:27 <+asciilifeform> ... << there are none. << i appreciate the confirmation
fluffypony: so the Redditards have taken to telling me that I don't support XT because it's in my interest for Bitcoin to fail
fluffypony: I've been fairly vocal in denouncing -XT and the whole way Hearn-ia and Gavin have been pushing their agenda
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:19:55; mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno)
mircea_popescu: historically, X never happened. I believe X will happen now, because I think so.
mircea_popescu: I see the current block size debate in similar fashion. It seems almost inevitable that we will get bigger blocks (probably with XT) because the alternatives will not work well enough, soon enough."
mats: i am very hesitant to code sig verification in a standalone context but this seems to be the best play here...
mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno) ☟︎☟︎
mats: all the libraries i've read require a private subkey
danielpbarron: i don't know who that is, but it looks like gavin's twitter pic
mircea_popescu: i dunno.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron http://i.imgur.com/TlfulMF.jpg << apparently #b-a is ALL women.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell wyrdmantis ssd is irrelevant in the discussion. "memory pages" is also irrelevant i nthe discussion. apparently it's not that person's field either.
wyrdmantis: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=19-08-2015#1244364 asciilifeform can you explain me why this is relevant? i person i know has told me that L2 chache is irrelevant because "the working set of memory pages veryfing ECDSA signatures is extremely small and takes places also in L1” I don’t have counter-arguments with him because this is not my field but… i trust your opinion more. Also he says that the use of ssd make ☝︎☟︎
trinque: ah I guess the alternative is having them cut your lock off, lol
mats: https://i.imgur.com/ktkwt5r.jpg
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i like the guy's thinking. "it's hard and i suck therefore whatevs."
pete_dushenski: more 'red queen' i suppose
pete_dushenski: 'i'm late, i'm late, i'm late for an important date!'
mircea_popescu: <trinque> I demand for this to never have happened at once! << somehow reminds me of lweiss carroll
pete_dushenski: jic : "I wasn’t always a fan of your blog but you guys are really picking up your game ! Way to go !!"
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: ya, just scanned, reads exactly, and i do mean ~exactly~ like wp spam
pete_dushenski: "oh hey look what i found in this shoebox!"
mats: i dunno that guns were such an advantage against the white man.
