asciilifeform: but it is in fact a complete block-eater, with the exception that it does nothing useful with scripts.
asciilifeform: whaack: posted simply so that you can see how tx hashes come to exist
phf: i keep expecting another trilema executing a coordinated strategy, but once you spend a few days living amongst them, you realize that there's nothing there, so yes.
asciilifeform: ( the ada per se is 27kB )
asciilifeform: tarball is heavy on account of including a test block.
asciilifeform: whaack: unofficial demo of adatronic block eater. takes a raw binary block on commandline, parses, prints computed hashes.
mircea_popescu: not much there to get pissed of AT.
phf: i was initially pissed off, but now i'm just sad, that babbage quote is very apropos
phf: naturally every other account is pronouns sensitive, lgbt, suicidal, "anti nazi", genderqueer, etc. thanksgiving is an opportunity to talk about how their toxic parents don't understand them, etc.
phf: the frequency at which the word "modern" is used in those conversations is making me nauseous
mircea_popescu: "in order to get rich (as usg defines that term) in crypto you gotta trade... the crypto... for the fetish of crypto!!11". see ? the lesson's well learned.
mircea_popescu: is no longer unrelated at all. IT IS JUST A RESTATEMENT OF THE SAME THING!
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 15:49 asciilifeform: 'If you want to make real money in crypto, you don't get attached to one coin and you don't hodl, you also don't put all your money in bitcoin either, instead you do coin hopping' << didjaknow!!
mircea_popescu: and suddenly the seemingly unrelated byt alf linked, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742454 ☝︎
phf: time "gopher is awesome, because it's so simple and pure", yeah, before you fuckers decided to show up.
phf: re upstack, there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: in similar news, "i don't think jakob fugger was really all that rich -- after all, he didn't even have an ipad".
mircea_popescu: "Of course the idea is to get rich-- which sounds like capitalism, if you're retarded, but observe the message that is being taught: that the necessary correlate to getting rich is to give all the capital to someone else. The power is traded for the fetish of power. That's not capitalism, it is madness, and apparently Davos and Randi think women especially will heart it."
mircea_popescu: also that ballas quote re giving up the capital. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 15:58 mircea_popescu: the discussion is readily mappable to its perfect equivalent which we oh so often rehash here : "i wonder what microsoft issued extension makes my operating system secure ?"
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742457 << "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." etc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: unless you actually go block44.txn7th, which is technically how spending goes, but anyway, i didn't expect he did that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but the hash is also the only sane index to txn
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a tx does not carry own hash inside it ( how could it ), one has to compute it on the fly
asciilifeform: ( mine did not process scripts and so is currently of 0 direct use for whaack's item. but it does show how to compute tx hash )
whaack: well the txn hash is provided as the inputs in the future blocks but each new txn in a block does not provide a copy of its hash as well afaik
mircea_popescu: what, it reserializes txn ?
mircea_popescu: how the hell could it not provide the txn hash
whaack: Ultimately what I want to build is a tool to determine how much a miner can obtain by "defecting" from segwit from the current mempool
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 21:25 asciilifeform: whaack: not difficult to add up all of the various 'softfork' liquishit tho -- it shows up as 'cannot decode' on ben_vulpes's blockviewer
whaack: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741795 << I have code to take his blocks and count up all the satoshis in the outputs that have undeterminable destinations. This is not very useful without also subtracting the coins when they are spent. This requires storing the txn hash and output index while I count up the satoshis. However ben_vulpes's api does not provide the txn hash and I have no CL code (yet) to calculate it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: on it, the future of that country gathers.
mircea_popescu: exactly like reddit, a website someone made in the hopes of becoming a millionaire.
asciilifeform: moar perplexing is wtf that forum is to begin with
mircea_popescu: yes, schmucky mcschmuckersson, the REASON your software can't be powerful is EXACTLY that your software unicodes. not for the unicode itself, but for what the unicode IS.
mircea_popescu: "tmsr claims to be more powerful than the us, but i have my doubts, because their software doesn't even unicode."
mircea_popescu: the discussion is readily mappable to its perfect equivalent which we oh so often rehash here : "i wonder what microsoft issued extension makes my operating system secure ?" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the complaint re mp's perceived lifestyle neartly folds into the general problem : "i think mp might be a millionaire as usg defined that term for me, but it seems in a sense fake, because he doesn't display the markers usg trained me to recognize. i wonder, if usg controls my perception of my own wants in the sense of defining how their perceptible form looks, why i don't get to be a millionaire ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but that's the very point!
asciilifeform: 'If you want to make real money in crypto, you don't get attached to one coin and you don't hodl, you also don't put all your money in bitcoin either, instead you do coin hopping' << didjaknow!! ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'You can also try to solve one of the 7 millennium math problems for 1m each.' << hey there's a neglected get-rich-and-famous scheme!
asciilifeform: 'just be female theory strikes again'
asciilifeform: 'LEGIT TESTOSTERONA OF HIGH QUALITY POWEDER DOESNT LEAVE YOU NO OPTIONS' << lol!!
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 15:26 mircea_popescu: yet... they do not know how to do it. AVERAGE salaries in the collegiate fields are about 100k/year, that means a 1mn income EACH DECADE, for AVERAGE performance
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742442 << much smaller than this, if you count what % they get to ~keep~. end up with '3rd world' figure. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: why the fuck else was anyone even watching the vhs tapes ?!
mircea_popescu: complete and utter failure of the "social contract", at that. it's like a sailing school that fails to produce sailors, this ourdemocracy that fails to produce millionaires.
mircea_popescu: and these kids dunno how to be millionaires.
mircea_popescu: yet... they do not know how to do it. AVERAGE salaries in the collegiate fields are about 100k/year, that means a 1mn income EACH DECADE, for AVERAGE performance ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the only fucking reason, point and selling characteristic of anglo college is "making money", and there's no quantum below 1 million dollars. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: can this be underscored enough ? i doubt it.
mircea_popescu: though mostly quoted for the fundamental prpblem -- these are college educated or educating esltards (maybe not ALL at MIT, but if you're on the internet.en you're either out of or currently in college) WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BECOME MILLIONAIRES. ☟︎
diana_coman: ahahaha "like mircea popescu or whatever his name is, but even with him i suspect he's not anywhere near as rich as he wants people to think he is - it doesn't add up; poorly fitted suits, average looking hotel suites/condos, spends all his time living in cheap shitholes which is precisely what white people who have money to live abroad but aren't rich do)" ; from ^^ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: whiteboy gets what he always wanted and was too scared to ask for.
mircea_popescu: contrary to pretense, under 1% of those are actual rapes, as defined by the only proper measure : "did you fight first ?"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i'd say they're working great.
BingoBoingo: "To put specific numbers on this, the report notes that studies consistently find that more than 90% of prison rapes are inter-racial and racially motivated. Blacks are found to be some 80% of the perpetrators, and whites are the vast majority of victims. Again, this is easily accessible in a peer-reviewed report published at a mainstream outlet. (So how are desegregated prisons working out for us now, huh?)"
BingoBoingo: Hence the bagplan
mircea_popescu: the cat not worth teh skinning.
BingoBoingo: Biodiesel has an ourself too!
mircea_popescu: and i'll insist and underline that no, can not be the case these are people. if i can emulate 10k of them on a stock amd, they're not people, they're 1/10k of a stock amd.
mircea_popescu: allows for some diffing, "what's this z69 say vs that one ?"
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's the entomological value here : that these EXACTLY IDENTICAL fucktards haven't yet heard of THAT fashionable bullshit. so they're still working the old style nonsense. yet the underlying opcodes are very visibly exactly the same.
mircea_popescu: apparently what, on the basis of this malfunctioning spam script they also don't have basic logic in romania now ?
mircea_popescu: what fucking toastmasters.
mircea_popescu: " At Buyerbrain, Ioana performs as a researcher and as a multidisciplinary perspective analyst, disseminating and promoting the neuroscience culture while also applying those principles to marketing and communicating the laboratory." you understand me ?!
mircea_popescu: and i mean this most literally.
mircea_popescu: phf it's not that they don't have toastmasters in romania. it's that they don'tr have anything if you're born after 1980.
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, i had the same thought until she started speaking, i mean, shit, they don't have "toastmasters" in romania? practice your talk before going in front of people
mircea_popescu: for the same money could pretend to cultural engineering. which, obviously, they do.
mircea_popescu: but this is the fucking "career" of these schmucks. born 83, graduated "college" 2003, worked as a fashion-culture-pop-media "editor" at some obscure local paper, then became "a PR officer!!1" by now pretending to "cultural management". motherfucker. management ?!
asciilifeform: mebbe helps that asciilifeform is sitting on a box with no sound card
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i randomly clicked a link from an 2008 article by the itisa dood. i suppose he was fucking her at the time or w/e.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 04:40 mircea_popescu: they're all fucking terrible. this one breathes like she's 1/3 on the way to orgasm.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-23#1742400 << mm pretty tho ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "it's open source which means you don't have to know anything, just copy some codes from the endless information highway". ioana calen xrumer.
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, wetware-run fake accounts are real!!!" like hell they are. the fact that zuck uses a buncha biosacks to do the job of ten lines of perl doesn't mean the biosacks aren't really shitty raspberrypis. what the fuck next, he's gonna run the shitstorm on z80s and pretend like the z80s are people because "they're louder, slower and burn more energy than proper computers" ?! THEY STILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING.
mircea_popescu: in short, i've had it with the aferations of social participation coming from the facebook fake accounts up to fucking here.
mircea_popescu: yet there she sits, and like her one billion utterly useless facebook tards. i've no doubt she votes, but not randomly -- she thinks she reasons! and in another decade she's gonna write a "book". and so fucking following.
mircea_popescu: and since we're on this : i'm particularily insulted by the pretentions of ex-"journalists" owners of no more than two pairs of undewear and no two meatballs to rub together in their entrails at any given point that they're you know, postmodern women with preoccupations and opinions and options and whatnot. this shithead made in her entire 10 year long professional life a little over one bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: buncha "speakers" that are SO FUCKING ANXIOUS you'd think they never spoke to people.
mircea_popescu: they're all fucking terrible. this one breathes like she's 1/3 on the way to orgasm. ☟︎
phf: lulzy, but she really needs to do some inhalations and exhalations, this is some speaking 101 torture going on
BingoBoingo: With maximust termiterity!
mircea_popescu: my vocab too poor
asciilifeform: at some point i'ma take a stab at translation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol i can't read this. wtf is it ?
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: See 13 Celebrities Who Have Rocked Jennifer Aniston's Rachel ...: <http://www.instyle.com/beauty/honor-friends-reunion-13-celebrities-who-have-also-rocked-rachel-haircut>; Jennifer Aniston reveals why she hated 'The Rachel' haircut: <https://www.today.com/style/jennifer-aniston-reveals-why-she-hated-rachel-cut-t20831>; The Story Behind Jennifer Aniston's Rachel Haircut | PEOPLE.com: (1 more message)
mircea_popescu: !~google the jennifer hairdo
phf: asciilifeform: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jennifer+aniston&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images i wonder if mp used that trop before, or it comes from tlp (i'm rereading tlp again)
asciilifeform: what was the 'jennifer generation' ?
mircea_popescu: thereby the jennifer generation mostly should be called tequilla-x
mircea_popescu: and in other news, it was established in teh harem over dinner that human demographics should prolly work on the basis of the alcohol used to spawn them
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if an anthill could speak, it would use word 'ourself' << And the termitories use ourself too
asciilifeform: i propose to enact this useful new word as a proper thing
asciilifeform: physically painful to read.
shinohai: mah ec20 tokens
BingoBoingo: En otra preguntas: "Are we honering that stupid one year plant policy for Christmas trees?"
asciilifeform: asking for 'good books on crypto' is not wholly unlike to ask 'good books in astrology'
asciilifeform: you're prolly better off reviewing the fundamentals of information theory ( shannon et al )
