pete_dushenski: we have a short little 'brit milah' tmrw at the synagogue for meatwot (but no briss planned)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu well, a blog post ~on your own blog~ is pretty much as good as it gets atm
mircea_popescu: kinda degenerated into the french bacalaureat, which meanwhile became a "right" dontchaknow
mircea_popescu: no i mean like, "here is this worm that came out of my wife. turns out it actually is a person!"
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256216 << indubitably. wouldn't mind reading a trilema on this basis. ☝︎
trinque: not bad at all; prepping a move back to Texas, enjoying life
gabriel_laddel: I've a thing for faces.
moonpunter: eh. i think your life is defined by your achievements. nothing against those with a lot, nothing against those with nothing. nothing against helping others by choice. etc. i just don't feel strongly about any of it. spend too much time selfishly focusing on my own life, i thinks.
mircea_popescu: in a generous reading, students and other tramps are somehow in a liberal profession.
mircea_popescu: moonpunter pretty much anyone not in a liberal
moonpunter: never understood the "commoner" paradigm. what is this a magic deck? if so, i'm a ltd. ed. rare holofoil, bitches.
mircea_popescu: such a thing is not for sale past what you get publicly anyway, the bar has a list.
mircea_popescu: and a deeply ignorant population which imagines its vague notions of ethics and fairness are worth two shits, mostly through being so useless and inept that they never get to check said in any sort of practice.
gabriel_laddel: or is such a thing for sale
gabriel_laddel: Do you have a database of all the judges, the lawyers who frequent their courts etc?
mircea_popescu: pretty much a copy of the 1996 ru justice system.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cray | cray. Another word for crazy. An abbreviation that you can use to describe a crazy person. That one cray bitch. She be cray. Why are you acting so cray?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I work a lot but have a new crush. 5/10?
deedbot-: [Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] The economics of sinking Garzikcoin aka BIP 100. - http://www.contravex.com/2015/08/29/the-economics-of-sinking-garzikcoin-aka-bip-100/
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 18:28:39; mircea_popescu: greatness doens't get to skip a generation./
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is paying somebody a pretty penny for that thing. and i am coming to think that he is getting scammed.
assbot: 11 results for 'bisp' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=bisp
asciilifeform: if this were a project with an actual budget, and the machine were colocated, i would include a lithium-cell-powered MAINS LOGGER in there. and then WELD IT SHUT with own hands
asciilifeform: it is only by a stroke of luck that therealbitcoin did not perma-wedge from corrupt db, also.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even if you were speaking of the kind of kvm which has a power relay, it remains to be asked WHAT KIND OF TARD would flip the relay on a customer's box without written permission
asciilifeform: monkeys will try to pull out the cable, and the only solution is a man with an axe standing there and chopping their hands off, every time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect that if it were somehow the case that trilema goes down for weeks-to-a-month every time it loses power, it would also lose power with some regularity...
asciilifeform: this means one of two things: a) thermal breaker b) mains current lost
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: node often fails to process incoming messages in a timely manner, at heavy load, and possibly ends up shitlisted
asciilifeform: it changes ENTIRELY every single time a modulus is processed !
trinque: yeah, you want a ton of fast RAM, I'd assume, and not want to be writing to disk constantly
asciilifeform: all of this could be had, but FOR A PRICE
asciilifeform: that or a civilized data center with battery AND diesel
asciilifeform: it really needs a box with internal battery backup and ~30 minute hardware warning on powerfail.
asciilifeform fantasizes about 'sleep ad libitum' for a reason. he has a ~26 hour circadian rhythm.
asciilifeform: (not all spare time is created equal. i'm both free from paying work AND awake enough to program, for perhaps a few hours a month!)
trinque: seems science requires a patron, or at least greatly benefits from one.
asciilifeform: kinda like a lighthouse.
asciilifeform: for no especially good reason other than that i felt like it, and mircea_popescu saw it fit to supply a machine (via subcontractor) out of his own (for now) pocket
asciilifeform: phuctor and the node are run as a public service.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu dulap is a quad-core machine. current 'werker' (phuctor) uses strictly a single core, at the maximum. but what is happening appears to be bus cycle starvation (shared cores share a cache; and at any rate all processes share a single ram bus)
asciilifeform: or even a quantifiably-stochastic one
asciilifeform: recall that we don't exactly have a deterministic system here.
punkman: also thinking of making a fork that doesn't mine/wallet
mod6: punkman: naw, i haevn't had a chance yet. i'll get to it though, it's on my list.
mod6: ah, ok. was it a handrolled build or stator?
danielpbarron: i made a binary but i didn't execute it
trinque: punkman: I have not handled that case. As I understand it, transactions would then go back into the mempool for inclusion in a subsequent block.
mod6: chettty & mircea_popescu: btw, eulora seems to be functioning well since changes. although, i don't use any automation in there. just good ole hard rock minin' by hand. with a mule^H^H^H^Himproved pickaxe.
assbot: You rated user gernika on 04-Jul-2015, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: New blood..
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/1aa82966741c75a7
asciilifeform: since we're on the subject, i do not regard it as a proven fact that schwartz tied the rope by himself
asciilifeform: there is a long history of tales re: folks having conversations with (personified) Death, and asking her 'not now, why me, ...' etc
asciilifeform: phf: iirc this began as a thread about r. ulbricht's shameful plea for mercy to the judge
asciilifeform: erwin schrodinger, famously, did his physics almost as just a thing to fill the time between random fucks. but he was not enough 'non serviam' nietzschean superman to avoid sucking hitler's cock (unsuccessfully !!) and having to run for his life
asciilifeform: one does not become an artisan 'from a good life', as some kind of voluntary choice, imho
asciilifeform: considering how the latter is almost inescapably a less-rewarding affair than the former
asciilifeform: for instance, iirc mircea_popescu was also pretty handy at mathematics as a young man. but notice that we do not come here to learn mathematics from him.
phf: sure, korolev was tested by that limit, and i'm not in his position, so i can't say "сука буду i've offed myself", but when the choice is between doing csv and sexp for a customer..
trinque departs for a bit
mod6 ribs trinque a bit :D
punkman: trinque: would deedbot notice a bundle tx that got reorg'd out of main chain?
mod6: this thing has a cool 0x00FF00 && 0x000000 website
ben_vulpes: in a healthy relationship, the consultant keeps the customer from making bad decisions in areas in which the customer has no business making decisions.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 00:18:24; asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit there with it in.'
trinque: I gotta run for a bit unfortunately.
asciilifeform: see also the 'gimp and photoshop' thread from a few wks ago.
punkman: on a similar note, customer asks for mongodb, but "I used sqlite because you are retarded"
ben_vulpes: sometimes one goes to a cafe to meet a customer instead of demanding they come to ones office.
trinque: also this is a matter of sales, not education
mod6: I'm currently working on the SoBA to close out the month, would like to point at the vdiff.sh that creats w/o timestamps in the document. Only reason that I bring it up. Thanks for taking a look. Wasn't sure if I missed it somehow.
asciilifeform: punkman: not if 'customer who expects' shows up with a microshit document with formatting, etc.
phf: i think gnu awk closes implicitly but a bsd one keeps the fd's open and eventually runs into open file limits
phf: by the way that script above needs a close i.e. ... if (s) { close(s); ...
ben_vulpes: a la deedbot
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1255824 << no per-user work, just a single pubkey to which anyone could find the corresponding privkey ☝︎
mod6: diff -uNr \$1 \$2 | awk 'm = /^(---|\+\+\+)/{s="sha512sum \"" \$2 "\" 2>/dev/null " | getline x; if (s) { split(x, a, " "); o = a[1]; } else {o = "false";} print \$1 " " \$2 " " o} !m { print \$0 }'
asciilifeform: phf: the paper became a 'viral meme' and nicknamed 'codemonkey paper'
asciilifeform: phf: the animals were placed in a room where there was a set of levers, which, if pulled correctly, would dispense food. result was that, at any given time, a handful learned to pull the lever, but would not get to eat the treats. instead, would be beaten for non-performance by the others if they stopped.
asciilifeform: 'Group Responses to Specially Skilled Individuals in a Macaca fascicularis Group' (Stammbach 1988)
trinque: can make a fine pile for yourself in some niche nobody ever heard of
asciilifeform: usually you find that there is a reason why nobody gets to be 'next microshit' every year.
trinque: right, you're a scientist. meanwhile I'd love to have the market on traffic cones cornered.
trinque: yeah but you're thinking like a scientist
asciilifeform: phf: mircea_popescu has a marked tendency to go with lenin's 'intelligentsia is not the nation's head but its arsehole'
trinque: I could see a scheme where you make a general solution to that problem which you do not sell.
phf: graham and naggum are probably not the best examples of lispers. graham wrote cgi scripts for clisp in vi and had unhealthy obsession with macros, did a web startup and sold it at the right time. naggum if he was a little bit dumber would've just been a kook, considering his completely insane angry rants. (and i learned a lot from naggum, but i don't think the manner of his death was a surprise)
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 14:17:13; mircea_popescu: and yes, the "scam money rots your brain" think is also a very powerful theory.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> perhaps ben_vulpes can become the hero who makes that unicorn, a software worth paying for.. << Eulora bots.
trinque: could instead decide that you'll use your software powers to cynically crap out anything with a price tag.
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 06:54:48; mircea_popescu: the idea here being that people wouldn't pay for a sane os for the same reason they won't payfor the sun.
assbot: 0 results for 'pay for sunlight' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=pay+for+sunlight
asciilifeform: trinque: but we have yet to establish that there is or could be such a thing as software that is genuinely worth paying for
ben_vulpes: regarding the "may i" spamola, you could issue a license to a trivially-generated pubkey.
asciilifeform: perhaps ben_vulpes can become the hero who makes that unicorn, a software worth paying for..
ben_vulpes: as, of course, verified by your signing a license to their key.
ben_vulpes: perhaps "you may not share your patches with anyone else who does not have a license for my original copy of $p"
asciilifeform: (on a sane planet, you won't need lawsuits to enforce this. no reasonable person will run code that doesn't have a wot signature)
asciilifeform: if anyone here has the muscles to turn this concoction into a formula which might threaten to work in traditional courts, in some major country - go right ahead.
asciilifeform: 'this program may be redistributed provided that 1) this notice and 2) the original copy of $program, with my pgp signature thereof - are included; and any changes you made to $program must be represented in the form of a vdiff patch signed with a pgp key registered in the Web of Trust.'
