fourhunderdtypes: hey i could make a ballet
decimation: I heard that marrying a white girl is the same as selling an abo gasoline
fourhunderdtypes: yeah i dunno, i don't vote
fourhunderdtypes: if i dont marry a foreigner, im not a torrorist
fourhunderdtypes: i want my shit for free
decimation: "In a separate debriefing, however, ROCC controller Vale?re White contradicted Conner, saying that she did give that order. ?I go, to 510: ?510, stop your train.? I said it to her twice.?"
fourhunderdtypes: i forget
decimation: no I'm indicting the station controller
fourhunderdtypes: i can gine -10 fucks on usg
fourhunderdtypes: i am a little bit of a strawberryfan
mircea_popescu: i just don't recall ever seeing this, white on a strawberry, as a kid. that's more of a framboise thing
mircea_popescu: punkman i can readily see asciilifeform argue that moreover joe stack was part of an obscure bezzlatron to provide office refurbishment at a profit. why not rite.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm having the world's worst strawberries. they are the size of plums, quite red except the part under the leaf is plain white... what the fuck is with this world.
mircea_popescu: and if i recall you protested that joe stack did not do any damage at all, let alone disproportionate
mircea_popescu: i dunno, whatever it is they do.
decimation: I was
mircea_popescu: weren't you arguing that it hasn't stopped when i first proposed this ?
decimation: I would agree that if we have a few decades with roughly stable ic fab tech, it's likely that 'growth' will come from genuine design differences
mircea_popescu: i just went through 5k lines today of how they don't.
assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 03:55:27; asciilifeform: this is why i believe that the discovery of integrated circuit was a serious 'degutenbergization' from which we have not even begun to recover.
mircea_popescu: im unconvinced this is stotting. i don't dispute it could be called that, but then again anything could.
assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 04:36:15; asciilifeform: i will confess that i've always found the whole 'mempool' thing to be a dodge
decimation: I knew you would bite on that line
mircea_popescu: i wish to be shown this "magic aesthetics".
mircea_popescu: or early, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i dun think this yet happened.
asciilifeform: i bet something like lensed explosive would beat railgun
asciilifeform: i can think of 1,001 'substantial'
mircea_popescu: i dun see why not.
asciilifeform: i predict that eventually they will justify it with talk of 'railguns'
asciilifeform: which is why i said, these folks are trying to push scam to a kind of logical conclusion
asciilifeform: not the last time i saw this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would suspect they'd have a minimal sail or something
asciilifeform: (at least, last i saw this scam)
mircea_popescu: and then mom asked "in what currency" and i said "doesn't matter"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-06-2015#1175593 << i was worth > 1 bil earlier this year i'll have you know! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't get something. what does having more satellites help ? you still have the same problems of intsat whether there's ten or ten thousand.
mircea_popescu: i thought stamp collectors all use mysql
decimation: yeah, I think yarvin's 'state vs dod' proxy wars make a fair bit of sense
funkenstein_: i'm not in the know, but always assumed various usg hat wearing agencies mostly competed with other usg hat wearing agencies
asciilifeform: incidentally, prior to the fall of ulbricht, i entertained the notion that sr is run by 'serious person'
decimation: I suppose they can find through out-of-band comms with miner or by 'did it make it into block'
decimation: I guess miner 'speaks with sword'
asciilifeform: i will confess that i've always found the whole 'mempool' thing to be a dodge ☟︎
decimation: well, imma node, I hear txns, they all come from previous blocks
decimation: ah I see, was looking at earlier patch
asciilifeform: and i see no reason to ever bring it back..
asciilifeform: i probably oughta add a commandline flag for this
phf: asciilifeform: i ran into log rollover, and had to restart syncing process from scratch. yet another "convenience" anti feature
decimation: phf: I made a patch to note from which node each block comes
decimation: the only solution I can think of is to spoon feed nodes in a 'known good' order
decimation: I did a small sample of this, but not the whole deal
asciilifeform: i bet a good share of the scrap metal floating about in space is 'functional' by this definition
decimation: also I think both 'voyager' probes are still functional
decimation: which I think is now actually owned by usg
asciilifeform: perhaps i'm thinking of a previous iteration of this sc4m
asciilifeform: this is why i believe that the discovery of integrated circuit was a serious 'degutenbergization' from which we have not even begun to recover. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if archaeologists ever turn up a 'greenarrays' in usg gear
asciilifeform: who buys, last i saw, was a mystery
asciilifeform: i have no idea what funds 'greenarrays'
decimation: I tried to use it once, confusing as hell and also barely documented
decimation: I think chuck moore's 'colorforth' runs on windows
decimation: asciilifeform: no, they use arm for board i/o control
decimation: I saw a real-life gold mine the other day, saw a truck carrying 300 tons of rock
asciilifeform: why would i care ~which~ thief steals everything from me ?
asciilifeform: see and i didn't even need to watch it
decimation: on a vaguely related note, I found an amusing show on 'the weather channel' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1gZSNdkajY
mats: most of the serious dudes i know have non-attributed ida licenses
mircea_popescu: so i hear.
decimation: asciilifeform: I bet you could control valgrind gdb with ida
mats: its pretty easy to say 'well i got hacked plz gief another one'
decimation: this sounds like the best mechanism for trying to enforce 'copyright' I've heard of
mircea_popescu: i dun know 'im
decimation: well, I'm also sure there's warez too
mats: i'm from the internets, why settle for free
decimation: mats: i think there's a free version of ida for download
mats: asciilifeform: i should probably sign up to be jr malware analyst or some such thing.
mats: asciilifeform: i don't have anything specific in mind. have been developing my talents in exploitation but i'm kind of stuck as to how to move forward
asciilifeform: mats: ida is a total monopoly on the kind of thing that it is, bar none. i don't know of any other product category anywhere in modern industry where there is ~ONE~ thing
decimation: yeah but it does emulate x86, I gotta think someone has integrated debug
mats: i want to easily see the values of all registers (as noted before) including bit flags, fp registers, ...
mats: while i'm on the subject here is there useful reversible debugging you're aware of, asciilifeform?
decimation: I believe it, you could make lots of headway against malware if you can control its hardware environment
asciilifeform: i built it. ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: i actually work for a firm which builds computers solely for this purpose
mircea_popescu: and i will just nod and carry on.
asciilifeform: so in effect i am 'paid to touch it'
asciilifeform: i have winblows box. solely to run malware. which is one of the things i am paid for.
decimation: the only thing I use winblows for is to record tv shows, because they give free listing service
decimation: what I mean is that intel, for instance, just puts all their chips on the 'let's shrink dies' side
mircea_popescu: well not exactly. he was more into the "why should i punish google for google fucking up my email ?!?!?! i just want email to work!!11"
mircea_popescu: interesting how the twerps keep changing name, too. i don't seem to recall this particular extortionist.
mircea_popescu: apparently I'm the shady one for not using paypal and being romanian.
mircea_popescu: in other news : apparently blender has this official "marketplace" thing, which lists various assets for sale. so I go for a 16 bucks buy, on the theory that let's check it out. coinbase, of course. my payment is uncredited. they have a support email for just this case, i write to them... my email is rejected.
asciilifeform: how this can be compared to 'playstation' i cannot fathom
asciilifeform: i'm ~still~ playing amiga games now
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno how documented it was, not caring for such thing at that age. i know however that the amiga guy never made anything like a game.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform: c64 was cheaper than apple ii as i recall << c64 was easily cheaply stamped product, Amiga was not
decimation: asciilifeform: c64 was cheaper than apple ii as i recall
