BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-18#1740498 < "Are you employed? The courts are looking for lost wages in medmal cases" << You are supposed to answer "My wages are sin, I am loosing enjoyment from life from this suffering" ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 04:35 phf: asciilifeform: ty, and another question, where was the code for that com1 to display thing that you had?
gabriel_laddel: Finally figured out how to score meth tho. Tis the bomb diggity & works exactly as I noted here in the logs prior to finding it.
gabriel_laddel: After that call + several others failing to pick up, I gave up on the whole thing. If you lived out here, you'd not expect sanity from the court system, or any established entity tbh
mircea_popescu: a really ? finally moved to limit the tort nonsense via employment weird trick ?

mircea_popescu: "Traditional gateware design with Verilog and VHDL is well known to be tedious and inefficient. M-Labs have developed Migen, a Python-based HDL and toolbox that addresses many of their issues and makes gateware design more productive. Built on Migen, MiSoC provides a high performance, flexible and lightweight solution to build system-on-chips for various applications."
mircea_popescu: one day i'll understand how this sense-nonsense alloying works. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: phf heathen doesn't even begin to describe it btw. fellow has not just the logger, but a pile of cogent stuff, say https://lab.whitequark.org/notes/2017-11-08/accessing-intel-ich-pch-gpios/ while at the same time managing to work for patent nonsense (quantum computer makers etc), retweeting alf's favourite isis and so on and so forth.
phf: so right now we have exactly 2048 days of log (though that number makes me suspect maybe my day counter is broken somehow)
mircea_popescu: wut is this inept crap
mircea_popescu: hm, this isn't very workable in fact, your log page is not fixed width is it. just flows.
mircea_popescu: you'll basically get a smoother curve than what you have now
mircea_popescu: you just decide on a pixel count based on your design, and then you split the 24 * 3600 day into that many units
phf: hmm, actually i don't think per minute is any indicator of anything.
phf: right now it's tracking proportional message count per hour, so perhaps message count per minute, but then it's a 1440 pixels width
mircea_popescu: as opposed to the current what is it.
mircea_popescu: but, honestly, you might ALSO make that full width and use the same approach for it.
mircea_popescu: can keep all of these in a world-accessible directory which is purged say weekly. or whatever, "once a week of all items older than a week" like the pastes.
mircea_popescu: u use it as an anchor to the full size item.
mircea_popescu: you decide on an image to be displayed on search page, specifically. "i want it 1024 x 168 pixels". you separately produce a png, as wide as day count, and as tall as daycount * 168 / 1024 rounded. you fill that png with the proper lines, proportionally (so highest count day gets full line, all other days get proportional line). then you scale it down to 1024 x 168. you publish this scaled down item on the search page, and yo
phf: hmm, i'm not groking the whole compressed version thing
mircea_popescu: compressed version always page width, allowing thus to produce a proper as-wide-as-days-to-date item.
phf: that's what i'm thinking :)
mircea_popescu: phf you know what you could do, add it to search pages. would that be a lot of cpu ? to spit out a png maybe 2k x 200 tall, and link it from a compressed version on the search page.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the functionality as such is particularly useful, i prefer the search. however the perspective actually is, filters would prolly empower the searching mind.
mircea_popescu: make a call like histograph?derpage, puts out a png with the histograph for that item
mircea_popescu: not mandatory js at all, can do this server side
phf: because #; in question is a javascript and for a specific day. since we use links for xref, i'm not sure what the semantic value of linking is going to be in that case. also mandatory javascript
mircea_popescu: sorta numerically enhanced topic finding.
phf: that would be a useful feature, that's almost like a part of search functionality
mircea_popescu: put one pixel line per day, from top to bottom, counting the occurences of $filter.
mircea_popescu: in fact, a per-day filtered-histogram could conceivably be very fucking useful hunting down large topics.
mircea_popescu: not a terrible idea, imo.
mircea_popescu: seems to work, like a search.
phf: err, wait that actually made no sense..
phf: i like some features that he has, live updates, also the convention of <date>#<id>;<filter>
mircea_popescu: possibly the most logged channel on freenode, by now.
phf: asciilifeform: ty, and another question, where was the code for that com1 to display thing that you had? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Still that's every address that starts with 3, so likely some no segwit turds in there
mircea_popescu: 18.376 total .
whaack: aha no i was kinda surprised by how much it was in 1 block tbh
mircea_popescu: oh, i read UP TO block x
whaack: doesn't mean much, that was just the recent block. also not necessarily segwit
mircea_popescu: !!rate whaack 2 computed total segwit impact on bitcoin ecosystem. turned out to be less than 1 parts per thousand.

whaack: I will work on creating an index of all of these non standard outputs of the form (txn-hash:output-index --> satoshis) sum up all the satoshis sent into the abyss from all past blocks, and then subtract spent coins in future blocks to get a value of how many coins are in the abyss at block n

mircea_popescu: 100% is made in china and the chinese don't respect any specs other than some stuff written on an old napkin in the head office.
phf: asciilifeform: how where do you source your cat5e? i've been using a leftover roll from my contracting days, but it finally ran out. went on amazon, not only are prices somewhat suspect (300m for $40?), but comments say that they cable doesn't actually conform to spec (wrong insulation, wrong conductor, etc.)
mircea_popescu: well the old one was prolly confusing
phf: hardcoregaming101 "modernized" their website, original http://hg101.kontek.net/, new http://www.hardcoregaming101.net. it took me a while to realize that "new" site is not in fact a lost domain. in the process old site is still there, but half the links are broken. welcome to "modern"!
phf: i mean, a _misplaced_ parenthesis will result in a valid parse, but the error is going to be something along the lines of "error while parsing arguments to special form" or "argument x is not a number" or "function call with n arguments, but wants exactly m"
phf: misplaced parenthesis is tricky to debug from the error messages, in fact i usually can't. i can usually intuit that the error is probably a result of misplaced parent, but then i still have to go an track it down
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 21:17 phf: i've seen properly indented code before, that never the less lost or misplaced parenthesis here or there. naggum actually had a rant somewhere how most experienced lispers actually discover nesting issues by doing reindent. but if you're a newb, you're going to lose a parent, but keep the code shape the same
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742727 << wouldn't something like "run it by candi" work as an infinitely better solution to this problem than html-css ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai basically just go through all the pages of https://www.deviantart.com/cartoons/whats-hot/ i guess
mircea_popescu: and show the proper values, such as demeaning women, bare cunts, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: i don't even care if they're similar per se, just as long as they're good.
shinohai: u just want to look @ similar ones?
mircea_popescu: this one... whatever, learn to answer.
mircea_popescu: OTHER ones is the idea.
shinohai: oh ill bug the oc artist above intensively
mircea_popescu: ok but intensively plox. "can try" as in you know, i checked out 1mn pix.
shinohai: i can try mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: (deviantart here used as metasyntactic notation for "whatever shitty forum these mortidifame gather upon")
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- does anyone want to go through all of deviantart until they find either something like that or something that doesn't suck ? for the purpose of helping the first tmsr appointed artist get his appointment ?
mircea_popescu: the idiot author of the linked piece is too fucking dumb to answer emails to his god damned own contact email as provided by patreon, notwithstanding he evidently is fucking starving. ho the fuck even told these schmucks they're at liberty to you know, "make own decisions" such as not pick up phone from god ?
mircea_popescu: so here's a something : on one hand i very much like https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyX33qsWIAAdMW3.jpg ; on the other hand i am kinda considering hiring a court artist for my own personal self-aggrandization.
phf: trilema-church i think has to be a danielpbarron project
shinohai: i guess i could write about the #trilema-church project
BingoBoingo: How much do boxes there run, and you've been blogging?
shinohai: i want to at least host my blog there
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> nah there is this crazy family that has a micronation in the middle of the ocean. << That's awfully close to airstrip one
phf: i've seen properly indented code before, that never the less lost or misplaced parenthesis here or there. naggum actually had a rant somewhere how most experienced lispers actually discover nesting issues by doing reindent. but if you're a newb, you're going to lose a parent, but keep the code shape the same ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 18:40 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i don't get why people who want code highlit don't open the code in a proper editor
phf: ok, i have some idea why http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742652 because i've done it in the past. when you're debugging issues for complete newbs, you basically instinctually looking for two things, imbalanced parenthesis and misuse of intrinsics. yeah you could copy paste that stuff to your emacs buffer, but if what you're doing is essentially social service work, you get burned out on doing deep help pretty fast, hence you want to keep it in the p ☝︎
shinohai: im going to be tmsr ambassador to sealand! xD
diana_coman: oh, the Floating Bear sort of thing, lol; close to "atop a server"
shinohai: i just introduced them to trb
shinohai: nah there is this crazy family that has a micronation in the middle of the ocean.
diana_coman had this flash image of shinohai paddling in the North Sea atop a server
shinohai: I'm thinking about buying a server in the North Sea
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo moar eastern style, deviled eggs, apple pie, that sorta thing. bbq lamb...
whaack: diana_conman: cool, when I get back to it I'll try switching out my gnat/gcc first ☟︎
diana_coman: fwiw I remember at some point I ran into weird issues with gnat that were apparently due to mismatched gcc version
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742497 <- oh, hey, thank you; ftr I took it, changed the type'Image things and then it compiled perfectly fine (with gnatmake 4.9.3, gcc 4.9.4) ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> speaking of which : one girl has been in the kitchen since daybreak (bout 8 hours ago) cooking non stop. << How's your stuffing coming along?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hey BingoBoingo wtf is a 'testosterona' ? boiled goat balls, straight from 1950s quackeries ? << direct translation of testosterone. Probably what's being marketed is a depot formulation of testosterone attached to a long chain esther
mircea_popescu: 1/64th of the recommended dosage is just about enough to be exaggerate for normal human!
mircea_popescu: "basically i multiply the portions by 8 and divide the sugar also by 8"
mircea_popescu: she's tallied up all the sugar we saved, comes to almost a quarter ton!
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : one girl has been in the kitchen since daybreak (bout 8 hours ago) cooking non stop.
asciilifeform: and then proceed to something resembling concept of carnot efficiency, but for cipher.
asciilifeform: could restate as the q of whether 'distance from ideal otp' is a quantifiable matter .
asciilifeform: imho it is an approachable thing. but i haven't yet the pill.
asciilifeform: in other not-yet-noose, asciilifeform considered the q of : can show a lower bound for how quickly (i.e. bits leaked per bit of ciphertext sent ) any n-bit-keyed symmetriccipher leaks its key , from purely informationtheoretical grounds ? or not.
mircea_popescu: anwyay : such is true luxury in life, to be able to disinterestedly walk into #lisp, spend an hour evaling and shrug.
