mod6: asciilifeform: I see you attached the sigs for the vpatch files, and included the tarballs in your orchestra+breath-of-life (UPDATED) email. I think it'd like to attach the raw .vpatch files as well as the .sigs for completeness. Anything against this other than it's a bit redundant since you already posted the tarballs of the .vpatches?
asciilifeform: 'The government hopes that by blocking the painting from export there will be time for a new, serious buyer to come forward.'
punkman: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/world/europe/migrants-push-toward-hungary-as-a-border-fence-rises.html?_r=0
funkenstein_: addresses are hashes, that's not a problem
assbot: 0 results for 'rsacoin' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=rsacoin
mircea_popescu: that obviously reduces to a ram farm, but at least ram is a degree of magnitude more commodised than gpus.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, unless you have a nvidia farm you're trying to find a use for, your pow has no business being a recursive hash and shouldreally be a lot more like what phuctor's doing
mircea_popescu: a bitcoin purified of ec bullcrap could do some pretty splendid factorisation-based pow.
punkman: "If you are part of the PGP strong set or your PGP key is on bitcoin-otc you now have a timestamp. Take your PGP fingerprint and convert that into a Bitcoin address and you'll find a 1 satoshi payment to it"
mircea_popescu: odd how selective stupidity is. it'll only do its stupid thing where it doesn';t stand a chance, but will avoid where it'd work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform funnily, the "corner silver market" was the opposite mistake. ie, "we'll make thius a 500 bn system for no reason"
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: so dead that not even a copy of the paper can be turned up.
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1251979 <-- a test implementation exists called "spreadcoin" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: once you buy 1bn, it's suddenly a 50 trillion system
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: easily into the multiple millimonets, for a typical case
mircea_popescu: this is the point easily missed. "oh, bitcoin is a 5 bn dollar system". no it's fucking not lol.
asciilifeform: 'usg employees don't even get fiat' << this is true in a strictly technical sense. but in fact senior nomenklatura ('ses' and up, but also grey-usg folk like uni professors) bring in very decent dough via 'contracting' and pseudo-industrial gigs.
mircea_popescu: people in the camp work for a) promises of future and b) mortgage-and-meal tickets.
asciilifeform: 'perhaps ~now~ we get a chance'
mircea_popescu: that's what not agreeing with me usually means. that you got some horse droppings in a portion of your brain.
assbot: You rated user slush on 20-Aug-2015, with a rating of -10, and supplied these additional notes: fuckwit.
punkman: so john dillon wasn't a spook, was dpr?
jurov: http://www.explo.yt/slush_on_xt.png a little kek
mircea_popescu looks for the "as mp said a few months ago", doesn't find it, doesn't give a shit.
asciilifeform: (anybody need a bucket of cockroaches for anything ??!11)
assbot: RObotzi S03 Ep3 : Hobby on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JwSnc1 )
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/34b678e3f80d850e
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok, ima translate it in a second then
asciilifeform: apparently no one gave a shit then, either.
assbot: A leak in the bitcoin reddit, shows private messages between bitcoin developers included litecoin head developer : litecoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1JWm0Wn )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/1qvgld/a_leak_in_the_bitcoin_reddit_shows_private << lulz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if the chinese are actually fucktarded enough to allow usg to not get its wish but nevertheless move the window in not getting it, we'll probably not only de-thread it but rewrite the whole sheband, and with a better pow algo at that. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i worked it out. the only interrupt handlers one even needs, are a) timer b) nic frame ring buffer (tx, rx) full/empty.
mircea_popescu: kernel gets a timeslicer for itself anyway
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'single task' in the sense of there not being a timeslicer
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is, none of this is even worth thinking about until items like multiprocessorized sig validation are a thing
mircea_popescu: i do not think there ever existed a "single task programmable computer" yet, in spite of convincing early ibm emulation. you either get signal processing or multi tasking
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1251759 << incidentally, on a multicore system one could probably do some pretty spiffy kernel improvements to squeeze more juice for a purely node system. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: course trilema is also a little sluggish
deedbot-: [Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] Can you please call me ? No. - http://www.contravex.com/2015/08/25/can-you-please-call-me-no/
phf: asciilifeform: i think there's a range. there's an ecigar (not sure how it's called) place next door, which is favored by asians and blacks. actually pipes are large and made out of machined parts, but produce massive amounts of smoke. they source nicotine oil separately, and my impression is that you can get anything from dodgy chinese stuff with flavors like "coca cola bubble gum" to u.s. local hand extracted tobacco oil
BingoBoingo: A little soap can't be that bad for the lungs
BingoBoingo: I dunno if there is a cheaper way to get nicotine, even for pesticide than extracting from tobacco
BingoBoingo: lobbes: My theory is they need to include more than the nicotine. There's actually a pretty potent MAOI in tobacco that persists in the smoke
lobbes: to make them a true replacement though, I think they'd need to simulate the ammonia and arsenic et al.
lobbes: they have improved quite a bit. I remember when they were the size of markers. I had one once where the plastic mouthpiece would break at least once a month
BingoBoingo: Rep could tell I was a loyal RJ Reynolds customer though when I merely asked for smokes and the clerk new which kind
lobbes: that is a very crucial property
BingoBoingo: Charger plugs into a usb port
asciilifeform: anybody on the other side of the atlantic wanna post a traceroute 195.211.154.159 ?
asciilifeform: wyrdmantis: for instance, there is more than one signature in a block !
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 01:22:58; mircea_popescu: either &lt; or something. esp <--- is a comment.
mircea_popescu: avram iancu is a romanian folk hero. famously a guy answered "describe in brief the life and activity of avram iancu" task by writing down the letter R
mircea_popescu: ima make a metaphysical section with quotes from you.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo im not putting a biology section in there!
mircea_popescu: it does give me a taste of a very old yet apparently not forgotten "you are not expected to understand this" day at special math studies group within gifted kids hs. which is hopefully a ghood thing.
ben_vulpes: i'd probably sweat through a shirt taking it
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'll be puzzling over that quiz for a bit. wonderful fun!
mircea_popescu wonders if fellater gem is actually a thing
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 00:40:27; phf: is a standard answer to "howto in ruby?" "we use pegster gem with mustashbar extension, though lately we've been migrating to fellater gem"
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1251096 << i actually ran into a client thing that looks 90% hand rolled ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sorta like being a name in flying cca 1920, everyone's got a throught for you.
mircea_popescu: what do zerohedge, rooshv and whatever have in common ? a live interest in bitcoin
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There surprisingly hasn't been a qntra DoS that I have noticed since the XT'ening
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he prolly loaded it during a ddos bout or something
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: But not maximally funny. Better to keep therealbitcoin gearing low nao to better handle rocks. Gotta get pwer from the flywheel to the ground to climb a mountain
BingoBoingo: "I now feel somewhat vindicated in that assessment, and more than a little gratified that his blog seems to have shutdown in the ensuing mess." << IncrediLoL
mircea_popescu: nt, and more than a little gratified that his blog seems to have shutdown in the ensuing mess."
mircea_popescu: "Ironically, this is the second time I’ve run across Popescu in my writing. Popescu is a member of a group who call themselves “The Bitcoin Lordship,” who opposed a necessary increase in the Bitcoin block size for some very silly and shortsighted reasons. I remember thinking that he in particular was an ugly combination of paranoid, narcissistic, and downright mean. I now feel somewhat vindicated in that assessme
BingoBoingo: They put out a polite invitation for the girls and their mums
BingoBoingo: A frat house on freshman move in day
hanbot puts a quarter in the dint'd raed jar
asciilifeform: mats: a shill may well say it, to gain sympathy
mircea_popescu: the linker wouldn't really have a way to know.
mircea_popescu: the blonde without a piece of paper saying breathe and the usian without his cockhead in his own mouth would just fall over and die.
asciilifeform: you have a family your willingness to be a martyr diminishes. The same is true of many of my colleagues. Hopefully my support for Bitcoin can help undo some of the damage we've done, but I do have to be careful and it's tough to take all the precautions I need to to be able to communicate. If it was found out that I was involved with Bitcoin that way I have been, let's just say there would be consequences...'
asciilifeform: 'Just so you know this stuff about Tor has me worried... Please don't make this public, but my day job involves intelligence, and I'm in a relatively high position. You know, I went into the job years ago with very different thoughts about it than I do now. The last, well, decade really has changed a lot of minds in this field, in totally different ways. Myself I am on the side of Snowden and Assange, but... lets just say when
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I feel you there, my dosimeter has been peaked for a while
BingoBoingo: Do you have a free shiva hand for that?
asciilifeform: 'FWIW adding SSL to the protocol is a fairly relatively non-invasive change. It might be worthwhile to implement that first as a means to test the developers you wish to hire to later implement partial mode.' << l0l!!
asciilifeform ought to visit the place where he has a vintage sgi octane-II rusting away, and port to that
mircea_popescu: seems "nobody else did it" is a huge reason to.
asciilifeform: it's a curious first choice, that's all.
asciilifeform: hanbot: but i also gotta ask, why are you building a x86-32 bitcoind ?
hanbot: <asciilifeform> hanbot: dollars to doughnuts you built a x86-64 component and it somehow got linked ! << ah thanks. rather than cutting up binaries/recompiling with symbols i'm going to look at this, seems the more likely explanation.
asciilifeform: gcc linker is dumb as a brick, but we knew this.
asciilifeform: trinque: a long-mode-only opcode got shuffled in, almost dead certain
asciilifeform: (i presume hanbot is actually testing on a machine running in 32-bit mode)
trinque hazards a guess it might've been db
asciilifeform: hanbot: dollars to doughnuts you built a x86-64 component and it somehow got linked !
hanbot: in latest ml adventure, rotor-test2 for i686 makes a static bitcoind that gives sigill w/ LC_ALL=C (and won't run w/o it): http://dpaste.com/0J6HXAH
assbot: Clujeanca Bianca Răzor s-a calificat în semifinalele Campionatului Mondial de atletism la proba de 400 m ... ( http://bit.ly/1NQMbLx )
mircea_popescu: http://www.monitorulcj.ro/sport/47949-clujeanca-bianca-razor-s-a-calificat-in-semifinale-campionatului-mondial-de-atletism-la-proba-de-400-m << almost hawt chick.
trinque: say you're hauling a literal shitload of horses, great
mircea_popescu: "people like mp who don't have to retract shit on a daily - or even decade-ally - basis would be at an unfair advantage!11"
mircea_popescu: "imagine how nervewracking it were if you had to stick behind what you say! as a politician no less!"
asciilifeform: who the fuq thought this belonged in a pgptron ?!
BingoBoingo: trinque: Harder than finding money that wouldn't be better spent elsewhere is finding a suitable vehicle to start from.
mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/4BcycXUu << i dunno if anyone actually gives a shit, but for those curious to see how the huddling-in-the-dark half lives...
