decimation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b061xf9j/the-bank-a-matter-of-life-and-debt-3-lending < can watch here if you manage to obtain uk ip
asciilifeform: must have been filmed a while ago, these figures would probably have an extra trailing zero today
asciilifeform: ~i don't give a fuck~ what you're paid, how much of it do you get to ~keep~, and how much time do you get to sit in the warm house and drink tea and not think of work
decimation: I was watching a 'banking' show on the BBC the other day. it featured a young afghan who managed to make it from goat-fuck-stan to the uk welfare state
mircea_popescu: it makes as much sense as drawing horses on a car.
decimation: not 'let's build a system for reliably transmitting information'
decimation: actually you could argue that 'email' as a concept is 'let's pretend we are working at the post office'
decimation: mircea_popescu: sounds good to me. file transfer a .txt
assbot: 4 results for 'flashlight crash' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=flashlight+crash
asciilifeform: and you can tell from a distance when a sector of civilization has been consumed by the cancer
mircea_popescu: a nuclear reactor is a kind of flywheel
asciilifeform: but jurov isn't wrong, per se, there probably ~is~ a reactor somewhere handled by four java boxes trying to cover for each other's garbagecollector pauses
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 03:40:09; decimation: he said recently a sea change has come with kids coming out of school; they want to specify massive cpu, memory for very simple micro-controllers so they can run java
assbot: Logged on 03-05-2015 03:39:28; decimation: asciilifeform: I have a friend who is an old graybeard EE, been working on actual circuitry since the 80's
jurov: and i strongly suspect the computers of yore aren't what alf imagines, either. have them eat a text with arbitrary linelengths and see
mircea_popescu: a world of play-pretend like they're adults and doing things
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your idea of nuke plants is more akin to a UP's big boy control hatch. this is not how they work, whole shit's run in java these days. for that matter - remember the recent airbus which had all 4 engines stop because counter smash issues ?
jurov: um..er.. how is half of europe gonna get a whiff of pdp?
asciilifeform: (which in turn is mostly a display of gui dials and gauges)
asciilifeform: and i'd bet good money that there is, somewhere deep inside that win2k reactor, a real computer
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (or even valid in a block) << they are not valid. they are spendable for reasons that have to do with what the protocol says, ie, unintentionally.
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 19:59:28; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> so it would have to be very clean to justify losing search << technically speaking, needing "search" is a symptom that you've not yet learned it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> so it would have to be very clean to justify losing search << technically speaking, needing "search" is a symptom that you've not yet learned it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> can give the 'atoms' electrostatic-style charge, so they repel, and the bonds - 'strain', so they contract << this is actually a pretty great idea. and then run iterations over the thing until stable.
punkman: "Reportedly, Koko enjoys seeing human nipples and will request her female caregivers to show them to her on occasion. This has resulted in sexual harassment lawsuits by caregivers who have felt pressured by Patterson to show their nipples to Koko against their will. Attorney Jody Weiner, who previously represented KoKo in licensing agreements, writes that he should have recognized warning signs of a sex scandal. "
kakobrekla: >I cooked up a multi-user general ledger system based on this hardware in '79. My client was a rural Iowa accountant who (what a prophet!) was afraid of hacks, so he insisted it NOT be compatible with anything else on the planet. So, though NorthStar DOS was way ahead of it's time, I had to ditch it. I burned my own boot EPROMs, wrote the whole thing using Ashley's assembler. You just can't do that anymore.
jurov: can't even imagine what noise would austrians do if a reactor nearby would be allowed to run on something homebrew
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess that's a point yea.
trinque: jurov: I missed a bunch of messages due to that tls thing, so I'm trying to grab all those
asciilifeform: when a pc runs reactor - yes, that is the end.
asciilifeform: the thing that ~must~ be understood is that the ancient iron is maintained entirely, wholly, as a shield against microshitification
asciilifeform: 'PDP-11 assembler coders are hard to find' << what a pile of shit
asciilifeform: (in the rocket, a miniaturized variant; on land - the real thing)
asciilifeform: instead, it is, e.g., transplanted to a 486 using the emulator mentioned earlier, handwritten by a fella with prolly a metre-long beard
trinque: I wrote a python script last night that turds together maildir mail from the txt dumps, but it's a hack at best
shinohai: I should push a slackware release
mircea_popescu: do not expect a girl with a collar is actually a slave - she probably thought it looks good for her facebook ; do not expect someone with a pgp key is a lord - they probably were just trying to impress someone.
asciilifeform: (as do a great many american .mil systems, of the kind which still work)
mircea_popescu: guitar hero for a different generation.
mircea_popescu: then they went about roleplaying their super-secret-agent kink for a while
mircea_popescu: "hey, woiuldn't it be cool if you could like... encrypt shit ?" "why ?" "so you cxould be like... a secre agent!"
mircea_popescu: case A : kid sees girl in bar. waits for moment when no-one's looking around 3am, kloinks her in the head with bottle, drags her dark alley outside, shreds her clothes and her virginity.
asciilifeform: and the 'pretend culture' at least in as far as it concerns public key crypto, was a very deliberate plank of the 'cypherpunk' folks - 'let's use crypto for every piece of shit, to defeat traffic analysis'
mircea_popescu suddenly realised, sometimes last night, that the deep reason nothing works is simply that - all of it was made on a lark.
asciilifeform: and the folks releasing code (anvin? a few others?) did sign it
mircea_popescu: it's a case of, 12 yo girly playing a game she doesn't understand with toys that aren't really toys. except online and with boys.
asciilifeform: had at least in their own planet, a use
mircea_popescu: not.a.single.entry.on.your.list.ever.hand.any.legitimate.use.for.encryption.
mircea_popescu: i'll take it a notch further : none of them had anything to sign. ever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wrote a short post last night, linking to an archive.today of the phuctored list, and exhorting the folks whose names appear therein to write
mircea_popescu: well, it exists as a signed thing in the hands of the conference participants.
asciilifeform: except that i linked to mircea_popescu's pgp key in a post
trinque: "Common Lisp is a big-city language. Spit out the hayseed, pronounce "shit" with one syllable and "shotgun" with two." << wahahaha
ben_vulpes: just a joke
trinque: hm yeah, that's much cooler; it's a lot like you'd describe a grammar for a parser generator
asciilifeform: but the whole point of a computer is that you do the 50, so you don't have to do the 50,000 over next 20 years.
asciilifeform: then you will have a jewel in your toolbox that you can use 20 years from now
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 16:01:52; ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf http://paste.lisp.org/display/152828#1 << do forgive my ignorance, but what am i missing about converting the "command" into a string? (Adlai, asciilifeform, your eyes'd be appreciated too)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1222073 << this is seriously, deeply 'un-lispy' code. it explicitly reads fields!!! what you oughta do is define the 'message' structure in the most minimal way you can think of, and then write a routine that snarfs any structure defined that way, whatever it may be. ☝︎
asciilifeform: punkman: the linked page is connected to a live pool. and demands password (presumably subscriptions are sold?)
asciilifeform: (or even valid in a block)
assbot: Someone has broadcast a transaction with 20,000 inputs! : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1IE0PG5 )
punkman: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3fggjj/someone_has_broadcast_a_transaction_with_20000/
asciilifeform: the latter is ~entirely irrelevant~ to a call graph!
trinque: would need a legend or bigger boxes
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf http://paste.lisp.org/display/152828#1 << do forgive my ignorance, but what am i missing about converting the "command" into a string? (Adlai, asciilifeform, your eyes'd be appreciated too) ☟︎
trinque: that helps my eyes a bit
asciilifeform: at any rate, i originally wanted this as a wall poster
asciilifeform: except there is no reason to make it a clicking and dragging game
asciilifeform: the above observation is not a criticism of solrodar's work, but of the catastrophically inadequate existing tooling
assbot: Incremental exploration of a large graph ... ( http://bit.ly/1IE03c9 )
asciilifeform: this conveys ~zero~ useful information. in particular, the fact that 'CNode :: PushVersion' is a deadcode island is no longer visually apparent.
trinque: would be nice to grab a node and shake
asciilifeform: gotta be viewed in a graphical www browser, so you can search
asciilifeform: incidentally, it is worthless if flattened into a bitmap
assbot: 8 results for 'from:mircea gimp' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=from%3Amircea+gimp
asciilifeform: (wallet, for instance, would look entirely 'dead' on a gcov run where such was not used)
trinque: I'm going to give that thing a few more shoves today and see if I can get it all in one tree
trinque: asciilifeform: that thing's a bit jacked
asciilifeform: speaking of which, anyone ever get solrodar's graph into a readable form ?
asciilifeform: trinque's gcov paint these a very deep red (0 runs)
asciilifeform: from a closer look, it appears to have been running into swap earlier
mircea_popescu: 100% mainstream anywhere outside of "my mother had me with a retard" land.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> obviously c will compile for anything. but not by itself! << my point was that i put a complete kit in there. that will build x86_64 on whatever you like, x86-32, cray, pdp11.
mircea_popescu: lulz of today : if one googles for bulletproof hosting stuff in the last month, the first 5 results are this dumbass trendmicro "report", and the rest references to it. like : "A new report from TrendLabs -- the research arm of security company Trend Micro -- uncovers the existence of what it calls 'Bulletproof Hosting Services' (BPHSs) which provide"
chetty: <mircea_popescu> it's purely a pr thing. got to get people used to the idea that they MUST say they despise the usg.// just the usg? lots of other places seem equally worthy of it
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you're a nihilist. everything's ultimately based on nothing as fatr as you're concerned, if you're willing to take the time and look.
mircea_popescu: it's purely a pr thing. got to get people used to the idea that they MUST say they despise the usg.
mircea_popescu: and yes, it's a difficult principle to apply uniformly, and yes i don't universally managing atm. nevertheless, i'm not taking stuff back to the dumbass world. and yes i think it'd be just grand if everyone follows it wherever possible.
mircea_popescu: i am worried about living in a world which contains isps that follow "law"
mircea_popescu: to qualify for any payments, a host must prominently advertise hosting illegal content.
mircea_popescu: euro housing costs ~1-2 keuro per sqmp! that's a fucking degree of magnitude.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2015#1221813 << how is a 32 bit machine going to build for another platform if one doesn't deliberately put the "build for other platforms" code in there! ☝︎
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Against, but just a Bitcent, learning moderation
BingoBoingo: Test was not a planned test. Popped hard drive with weirdOS in laptop and it fucked BIOS clock.
BingoBoingo: ehavior was on 0.7.whyamIdoingthis and I lack any idea for making a better report. Also vodka. This is definitely an edgecase. Killing and restarting Bitcoin until verify database phase of startup ate all blocks on disk seems to have remedied issue.
BingoBoingo: So, since everyone is apparently looking at db behavior in BTC now... A few hours ago I reset my BIOS clock back a full day. Rightly It refused to acknowledge blocks more than two hours into the future. Then I reset clock to be right. Client refused to correct itself all at once. However many block it scooped up in the verifying databases phase seems to be as far as it got before permawedgeing. Killing and restating fixed issue. B
a3voices: cool well now I have a pgp key for the first time
decimation: yeah, I would take with a big cube of salt
BingoBoingo: By source I mean a long dead account on a social media site desperate for interactions
