trinque: other than tweaker bouncing all over the map?
trinque: what's the point of putting a company pitch in a cover letter for another job? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-12-01 02:29 asciilifeform experimented with dvorak a few times over the years, found that he doesn't enter enough human language text to make the effort worthwhile
gabriel_laddel: I switched from colemak back to qwerty
asciilifeform: ( even the places where it will get stuck, are quite predictable. one sticks magnetic rubber to the floor, it has reed switch and avoids )
gabriel_laddel: oh thank G-d
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: 'neato' vacuum doesn't do the random walk thing, it laser-scans the surrounding room (1d) and does edges, then colours 'in' the insides. pretty predictable.
gabriel_laddel: or maybe neato allows more fine-grained control than I am aware of
asciilifeform: there's an ancient and now-unsupported closed warez turd. and a buncha open sores that dun work ~at all. ( on linux, i dun give a fuck what exists for microshit )
gabriel_laddel: afaict, the lack of a CAD program to input the clean routines is the only reason I get interrupted by cleaners in whatever lounge I happen to be working in
asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all. ☟︎
asciilifeform: btw gabriel_laddel there is a massive unfilled hole in cad-dom ,
gabriel_laddel: totally hypothetical, I'm just sticking this on the end of "gimme job plz" emails along with some connective tissue
asciilifeform: also can see this cad ? or hypothetical yet
asciilifeform: how does a cad proggy compete with vaccuum co tho
gabriel_laddel: and thanks for input re Neato
gabriel_laddel: antecedent ventures == those who failed to venture far enough
asciilifeform: ( will gripe, but not about the firmware -- the roller bearing overheats )
asciilifeform: 'Antecedent companies are iRobot (ie roomba. founded 1990, IPO $100MN in 2005 at 24/share), Neato (raised 45MN, 2005, acquired by 'Vorwork', a German household appliances firm this Sept. Fiscal details unavailable). Both ventures attempted an 'AI' ...' << what means 'antecedent ventures' ?
asciilifeform: hey gabriel_laddel is that yours ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 12:58 mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743518 prolly needs to be addressed better than the original "i wouldn't give a shit" : i'm ready to take over the governance of the entire world from the hands of the inept pretenders of today, as of yesterday. the result would be very ~different~, yes, but that's irrelevant.
asciilifeform: ( grrr, where is the link! it's a jpeg, on trilema somewhere ! )
ben_vulpes: "sekuhara" being the noise little japanese girls emitted in storms of arousal when i played in japan as a youf
trinque: #metoo is the noise twatters make when you grab 'em by the pussy
ben_vulpes: it's the sekuhara fire sweeping la nacion!
asciilifeform: and do i even want to find out
BingoBoingo: Matt Lauer, was her demoocracy's bitch boy comforting the old biddies and making them feel relevant
ben_vulpes: and the truuuuuly hilarious thing is that howard stern has yet to fall to the #metoo crowd (possibly won't?), which just goes to show that there is zero strength in the defense of being nice and appeasing the everyone.
ben_vulpes: keillor was a liberal entertainment darling, right up there with ira glass for trophy of most inoffensive and least entertaining person that Everyone Agrees Is Just Amazing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are emoticons of USian attempt at having a cultured. Matt Lauer is NBC's younger man hosting morning news show for older women.
asciilifeform: who are any of these
BingoBoingo: And their list... fucking idiot slabs and headphones
ben_vulpes: and garrison keillor falls to #metoo
BingoBoingo: road trip, Road trip, Road Trip, ROAD TRIP!
BingoBoingo: And in other news, Conde Naste has decidedly quit the jet set: " Holiday gift guide 2017 — The 2017 Ars Technica gadget gift guide: On-the-go and travel tech edition We reflected on a year of testing to find the best tech for your next road trip."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> this is a ssd box, on very reasonable fiber, no less. << I am very glad/sad that asciilifeform's sync from wild experiments are concordant with my own ☟︎
asciilifeform: all trb boxen where log wasn't cut off, have day-by-day, neh
mod6: took very long time to sync. but !ssd drive.
mod6: ugh, long time ago.
asciilifeform: ( granted i could've filled it up with eatblock in <2days. but it's been some years since i synced 'from wild' and thought 'why not test..' )
asciilifeform: spends most of its time not having any notion that the next block exists.
shinohai: 100TB blox today
mircea_popescu: not so terrible, 35k to go
asciilifeform: as it is, that thing spends 99% of cpu filling up disk with the familiar ERROR: ConnectInputs() : d84dc3e02d mapTransactions prev not found f74a08a53a
a111: Logged on 2017-08-19 00:13 asciilifeform: ACHTUNG panzers!! trb node 'zoolag' is back in business, this time as ordinary linux box -- syncing from 0 . same ip as prev.
asciilifeform: oh try this unbelievable horror on for size : zoolag since http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-19#1700485 is STILL syncing ☝︎
shinohai: im trying to get block height from various sources (as experiment) this morning
asciilifeform: ( getting this number from a trbtron is still a manual process. )
asciilifeform: shinohai: looks like it's simply the most recent reorg their box saw, neh ?
asciilifeform: ... looks liek exactly what i thought, most-recent-reorg
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dudes implemented their own json thing.
asciilifeform: that dun tell me what it is
asciilifeform: 'better to be rich and healthy, than poor and diseased' (tm)(r)
asciilifeform: ( ignoring for a moment the fact that if shitreich subject walks in with 1 btc, they will give 5k usd to him and 5k to clitler )
mircea_popescu: let's just say that the principal military function of leadership is the management of the enemy perception of weakness.
asciilifeform: yes a gox will give a plebe 10 ( 11? ) k if he comes in with 1. but beyond this.
asciilifeform: ignoring for a moment the folly of formulating btc-usd as a scalar ( picture if somebody were to show up with a million-btc buy or sell, say ) -- i have nfi what the actual, honest number is , nor any clue as to where such a thing might even be hidden
mircea_popescu: something like that.
mircea_popescu: in which sense, ethereum (not as the item, but as the prion set) is necessary for bitcoin to go into the millions. just a step on teh road.
mircea_popescu: and in 2014 they still had too much bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the "cypherpunks" or "internet experts" or whatever you call the genetically stunted, phenotypically inferior apes depicted eg in http://trilema.com/2012/generatia-fara/ are not in any way different from those indians of yore.
mircea_popescu: this trading as a bloc means, importantly, that the political and legal framework changes.
mircea_popescu: as a result, they traded their valuable token AS A BLOC to other people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform leaving reality aside, i can readily show in a snowglobe model how it's a problem. so, some indians (by which derrogatory term we denote genetically stunted, phenotypically inferior apes with some superficial semblance of humanity) had their "land" token inflated by events into great value cca 1600.
mircea_popescu: " Consider that the market is currently pricing Bitcoin over 10k as a 114.19/73.69 sort of proposition. That's right : the open market valuation of the notion that Bitcoin will go over 10`000 USD this year is not so much worse than even odds."
asciilifeform: i'm not equipped to say whether this is a problem
mircea_popescu gets to forever recall how buffett was too scared to pick up glove, and cackle.
mircea_popescu: totally worth it, at that.
mircea_popescu: all i got for 1k btc was averting this 2017 happening in 2014, let's call it.
asciilifeform: it ain't like losing a bag of usd, or a diamond, not easy to forget.
asciilifeform: lol at least mircea_popescu had some cuffs for a spell. all i got for 5btc was losing to alphago and watching hitler cackle...
mircea_popescu: iirc those cuffs were like 5 btc ? 15 ? something.
asciilifeform: and mouse could live for a century on the flakes of skin that fall of the elephant, why not.
mircea_popescu: one could live comfortably out of all the hazard-for-6-yos items i lose apparently.
mircea_popescu: also managed to misplace a 2ct diamond i used to wear in mah lapel... utter puyi operation i'm running over here. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nfi where they went, possibly chick ended up swallowing.
mircea_popescu: you know i managed to lose the pair ?
asciilifeform: lol i half-expected the cufflinks to read 'btc'
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf do you happen to have a copy of bolix's adatron src ? dun look like it's on the classical disk set, at least not in src form.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-11 20:25 asciilifeform: https://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_55_0 << holy SHIT that's a lengthy buglist for a proggy that... loads http and puts to stdout
asciilifeform: oh here http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-11#1697186 is the prev. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-02-16 15:59 asciilifeform: 'The glibc DNS client side resolver is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when the getaddrinfo() library function is used. Software using this function may be exploited with attacker-controlled domain names, attacker-controlled DNS servers, or through a man-in-the-middle attack.'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-16#1406884 << the prev ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i recall reading this a while backl
asciilifeform: which made the allocated memory too small by 4 bytes. The last struct member of the last object within the memory area could then be outside... ' etc
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom ! https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_2017-af0a.html >> 'libcurl contains an out boundary access flaw in SSL related code. When allocating memory for a connection (the internal struct called connectdata), a certain amount of memory is allocated at the end of the struct to be used for SSL related structs ... The math used to calculate the extra memory amount necessary for the SSL library was wrong on 32 bit systems,
asciilifeform: ( dun think any of my opteron boxes know how to address >4MB of rom ~total~ , for instance. )
asciilifeform: i suspect it's retarded in other ways tho, and will have to be cured in the end
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform could you just write emacs mode to fix the spacing/style ? possibly cheaper than sawing gnat apart.
mircea_popescu: well that's something.
mircea_popescu: could be the criterion.
asciilifeform: ( i also haven't fully verified that the self-building mode is able to insert ~no~ spurious deps, in stock gnat )
asciilifeform: q nao is which gnat to patch -- and take as a pet, and genesis etc
asciilifeform: there is a mode ( see also log ) where it doesn't insert anything, that is used traditionally to compile gnat itself. but there it hard-enforces adacore's weird style scheme, and cannot be forced not to. i'ma have to patch.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 06:00 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-29#1743984 << what failed ? teh very detailed discussion of each of these 3, MEGA blog fodder.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-29#1744066 << ~all the detail in yesterday's log. gnat inserts dependencies on the rts even when not only not used but pragma-restricted against e.g. secondarystack, elaboration, stringism, taskism ☝︎
asciilifeform: including the oblig 'hey, i get away with it' 'because you ain't under the microscope'
asciilifeform: pretty sure we had this thread.
asciilifeform: i dun need a barrel of green for anything ( the only place i can spend it here, is the veggie market. and at airport they confiscate any over 10k . ) nor is depositolade in usgbank of any use, obummer immediately claims half
