asciilifeform: at least where i live.
decimation: he was like 'what am I gonna do with an extra 9k and I have to pay interest!"
asciilifeform: ~i don't give a fuck~ what you're paid, how much of it do you get to ~keep~, and how much time do you get to sit in the warm house and drink tea and not think of work
asciilifeform: decimation: this and precisely this, is why i laugh at people who discuss compensation in terms of money
decimation: I was watching a 'banking' show on the BBC the other day. it featured a young afghan who managed to make it from goat-fuck-stan to the uk welfare state
mircea_popescu: imagine if every so often i had to click here to see if there's new lines
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is actually the correct definition of "text" for computing.
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 03:39:28; decimation: asciilifeform: I have a friend who is an old graybeard EE, been working on actual circuitry since the 80's
jurov: and i strongly suspect the computers of yore aren't what alf imagines, either. have them eat a text with arbitrary linelengths and see
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i recall, maxint / 100 it was.
mircea_popescu: i tell you. there are no professionals left. all children posing for the mirror.
asciilifeform: and i'd bet good money that there is, somewhere deep inside that win2k reactor, a real computer
jurov: (i mean, when they are installed, hopefully not when they are built. but not sure on that, either)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1222307 << no shit. and if i'd learned it, wouldn't need the diagram. ☝︎
shinohai: I m syncing the dark side's wallet, keeps crashing with CDB: Error -30974, can't open database
shinohai: I had hoped you could churn out another story based on that xD
mircea_popescu: in other news, https://i.imgur.com/TCjVzuQ.jpg ☟︎
kakobrekla: >I cooked up a multi-user general ledger system based on this hardware in '79. My client was a rural Iowa accountant who (what a prophet!) was afraid of hacks, so he insisted it NOT be compatible with anything else on the planet. So, though NorthStar DOS was way ahead of it's time, I had to ditch it. I burned my own boot EPROMs, wrote the whole thing using Ashley's assembler. You just can't do that anymore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess that's a point yea.
trinque: that actually covers everything I needed, I think
trinque: jurov: I missed a bunch of messages due to that tls thing, so I'm trying to grab all those
jurov: i will, too. eventually.
kakobrekla: everywhere i go, im here.
asciilifeform: just let me know the day before, so i can catch the last plane out.
asciilifeform: and yes, i can understand why.
asciilifeform: i will add, btw, that yes, i know that 'code from 1973' is not 'maintained' in the modern idiot bottomless-barrel-of-bug sense
trinque: at least there are sigs; I don't really care about having identical mail headers to the originals
trinque: I wrote a python script last night that turds together maildir mail from the txt dumps, but it's a hack at best
kakobrekla: i guess end of world is 2051
shinohai: I should push a slackware release
mircea_popescu: because i suspect you go by ops whereas i go by financials./
asciilifeform: i know, this sound like 'martians live among us'
trinque: I was fumbling for that idea the other day re: internal representations of identity
mircea_popescu: and i posit that the entire fucking thing, "from the ground up", is B. all of it.
mircea_popescu: but i'm nothing oif not persistent, so lemme try.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should stfu if i can't link it.
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall some incident where precisely this happened.
mircea_popescu: orly ? i thought he just dumps code someone emailed him intop the kernel.
asciilifeform: but how often? between him and the gods. i wouldn't know
asciilifeform: what i mean to say is, the folks selected for this special delicacy treat, were selected presumably for reasons ?
mircea_popescu: i bet you, dollars to donuts, that they signed it for "wouldn';t it be cool if" reasons. an d the thing doesn't actually work / is not full lengthj /.trivially defeated on some op sec hole or other.
mircea_popescu: the impersonated ones, i mean.
mircea_popescu: i'll take it a notch further : none of them had anything to sign. ever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yeah i recall. was it anvin? iirc
punkman: asciilifeform: did you email all of the already? I remember some mention of emails
asciilifeform: i suppose now that their names have been 'googleable' for months, and still no reaction - this conclusion is nearly inescapable
mircea_popescu: they have in common being either dumb per se or else i nthe crosshairs of the manacling-with-dumb cannon. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wrote a short post last night, linking to an archive.today of the phuctored list, and exhorting the folks whose names appear therein to write
asciilifeform: except that i linked to mircea_popescu's pgp key in a post
ben_vulpes: (but ascii - i /can/ mutate in place, therefore i /must/!)
ben_vulpes: this has come up before, and i had forgotten.
ben_vulpes: well how'd i know without putting myself up for the cane
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 16:01:52; ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf http://paste.lisp.org/display/152828#1 << do forgive my ignorance, but what am i missing about converting the "command" into a string? (Adlai, asciilifeform, your eyes'd be appreciated too)
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf http://paste.lisp.org/display/152828#1 << do forgive my ignorance, but what am i missing about converting the "command" into a string? (Adlai, asciilifeform, your eyes'd be appreciated too) ☟︎
asciilifeform: at any rate, i originally wanted this as a wall poster
asciilifeform: trinque: the 'springy' thing is quite like the molecular strain sims i've used
asciilifeform: yeah that was what i saw
mircea_popescu: i don't have one. lesee
asciilifeform: the place i'm trying to go with this is: dead code ought not be in The Book, except - in the one and only case where it pre-dates gavin et al, it could be shoved into an appendix
ben_vulpes: i don't see any usage of anysubscribed at least, asciilifeform
trinque: I'm going to give that thing a few more shoves today and see if I can get it all in one tree
asciilifeform: well i just gave an example. can you tell from that picture whether it is theoretically possible for the 'subscription' routines to be called?
mircea_popescu: how would i decide that if.
asciilifeform: if it was what i saw, that wasn't readable !
ben_vulpes: but i never did.
asciilifeform: and indeed, i see no graph path to them
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fortunately there is wildlife that lives on usg-free net, whose turds one can follow to find the forest. i speak, of course, of crapware artists and sp4mz0rz
mircea_popescu: o i c
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> obviously c will compile for anything. but not by itself! << my point was that i put a complete kit in there. that will build x86_64 on whatever you like, x86-32, cray, pdp11.
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 21:46:38; asciilifeform: i guess my red-hot doug lenat k001 w4r3z stays on kako's box, l0l
mircea_popescu: and yes, it's a difficult principle to apply uniformly, and yes i don't universally managing atm. nevertheless, i'm not taking stuff back to the dumbass world. and yes i think it'd be just grand if everyone follows it wherever possible.
mircea_popescu: i am worried about living in a world which contains isps that follow "law"
kakobrekla: i dont see phoenixnap doing it, so whatevs.
mircea_popescu: in any case : i will not pay any isp that fails to advertise ignoring "law".
mircea_popescu: i will not give money to derps who follow usg.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i just looked at online.net. nowhere does it advertise hosting illegal content. i'm not giving them any money.
mircea_popescu: i point and laugh at the locals six digit price delusions for real estate in the dead centre of ba.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why anyone would do this.
BingoBoingo: ehavior was on 0.7.whyamIdoingthis and I lack any idea for making a better report. Also vodka. This is definitely an edgecase. Killing and restarting Bitcoin until verify database phase of startup ate all blocks on disk seems to have remedied issue.
BingoBoingo: So, since everyone is apparently looking at db behavior in BTC now... A few hours ago I reset my BIOS clock back a full day. Rightly It refused to acknowledge blocks more than two hours into the future. Then I reset clock to be right. Client refused to correct itself all at once. However many block it scooped up in the verifying databases phase seems to be as far as it got before permawedgeing. Killing and restating fixed issue. B
a3voices: cool well now I have a pgp key for the first time
BingoBoingo: I just remember when the satosi@gmx.com email address was "revived"
decimation: yeah, I would take with a big cube of salt
BingoBoingo: By source I mean a long dead account on a social media site desperate for interactions
BingoBoingo: decimation: I've been following it a bit, but I dunno how much to trust the source
assbot: I'm Ashley Barr, A.K.A "Adam Turner", the first Mt.Gox employee, and alleged DPR (:/). AMA : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1MCWSDf )
BingoBoingo: trinque: I'm not watching if I hear it is interesting may acquire later. Otherwise, just liked the odds
BingoBoingo: I'll prolly just wait for Eulora emacs edition. There's no source package floating around for cg toolkit so it won't openBSD unless I rip it out.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: pgp.mit.edu was a gold mine for academic keys they may not have made the transition to sks. I retrieved manually though by schoool.
ben_vulpes: <TheNewDeal> a new deal of sorts << i will give you points for this even if nobody else will
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> grats, i guess ? o.O << hyuuuuahahaha
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-08-2015#1221623 << I made a point of hunting 1990's keys from universities to feed the Phuctor. Many were of short length. I though maybe they'd fall first and prime the beast, but... << bb you're awesome ☝︎
asciilifeform: decimation: i 'wiresharked' many hours of this.
asciilifeform: i'll leave it up, for now.
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 00:40:51; mircea_popescu: i dunno that any of the currently standing nodes are on 32 bit platforms
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1221782 << my brain pulls its frequent trick; i distinctly recalled there being a point in that thing ☝︎
TheNewDeal: I'm thinking of adding perhaps 2 days equivalent timeweight. Say weight it 21000, two days ago weight was 23600. I would accept your amount, and pay out on the timeweight two days prior, 23600. Terms negotiable ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and before anyone wants to tell me the author has five concubines gifted by from cornell west and is widely respected by robed pamplonocrats or w/e : i dun give a shit kthx.
mircea_popescu: aka "note : my idiocy falls apart at hte most cursory examination, but i am the sort of dumb schmuck that aims to insulate himself from this by waving hands and weaving words, rather than a thninking person"
mircea_popescu: "Note: I am well aware that dynamic documents are a huge, gaping, ugly hole in the digital imprimatur scheme. I have not expended a great deal of effort thinking about ways to better secure such documents; I'm sure this issue will be explored in detail"
