mircea_popescu: thanks for the brainstorming guise, i think we created
a lot of value. off to put another starbux coffee on this credit card someone mailed me for some reason.
mircea_popescu: what if we made
a website that was
a marketplace for songs people wrote!
ben_vulpes is stuck maintaining the sad remnants of
a UGC application
trinque: the idea that you can just you know, "unlock" the "creativity" of
a randomly selected bovine if the UI's "intuitive" enough
mircea_popescu: too bad one can't take
a snapshot of "the consensus" of webidiots.
shinohai: Although in
a self-deprecating manner.
shinohai: I made the point about monkeys and keyboards in
a similar fashion
a few days ago.
mircea_popescu: yak, you know. anything can be yakked, and thus therfore on
a long enough timeline with enough monkeys at keyboards, everything will be yakked.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It really brings the whole shitgnome scheme together, even though the Selkis kid isn't even gnome enough to be
a shitgnome himself
BingoBoingo: Eh, it's too good for me to not have started putting together
a qntra after runimating on it for
a bit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo teh people whom nobody asked anything wondering about questions! it's
a festival!
mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> for example, the mechanics are so poorly spaded that << re that "spaded", just you wait until you discover it's actually
a noncomputable multivariate which doesn't even allow stable solutions in the real space.
decimation: wait, I pointed out this exact situation
a few weeks ago and the conclusion was 'pay relay', not 'miner pays relay'
danielpbarron: i've never seen
a screencap from d3 let alone actually played it
danielpbarron: yeh my main character online was
a magic find barbarian
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron sadly necro sucked in d2, ended up forced to do
a cold sorc like everyone else (that wasn't
a paly). but did
a witchdoctor in d3, for the... month or so that survived.
danielpbarron: i thought those only drop from
a certain unique item but then again i haven't played in
a while
mircea_popescu: because skill kills. and so spent my time in the ravensomething library reading "you and evil things,
a love story"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> * shinohai wishes ppl still played MUDs << kol is
a glorified browser mud. not horrible, i guess... /me made it for
a coupla days, had enough. << What class did you give
a go?
shinohai: Most browser MUDs I have seen require flash, which is
a no-no for me.
mircea_popescu: * shinohai wishes ppl still played MUDs << kol is
a glorified browser mud. not horrible, i guess... /me made it for
a coupla days, had enough.
ShawnLeary: I had to admit it, but as
a young man I spent time on FuryMUCK
shinohai: I ran
a little citadel server for
a while, which is about as basic of BBS as I can think of.
danielpbarron:
a great deal of the gameplay is just numbers and waiting
danielpbarron: shinohai, funny you say that; Eulora is supposed to eventually have
a MUD-style client
shinohai: Well I do on sdf, just not
a lot of players anymore
danielpbarron: i used to have poor FPS but someone showed me what to comment out of
a file to make all the superflous terrain decorations go away and that helped
a lot
shinohai: I don't even think I own
a computer capable of playing Eulora on xD
ShawnLeary: this is my first day in this channel, so will do some more reading and research on it. Do you have
a link to Kingdom of Loathing?
danielpbarron: not to be taken seriously -- I don't think it will be possible to keep an exchange on the blockchain if bitcoin is to have
a future
danielpbarron: on
a related note, someone bought up all my shares and I haven't bothered to re-up yet
funkenstein_: danielpbarron> you tell the full node what inputs and what outputs, node says ok here's
a raw tx to sign (it includes an extra output pointing at node's own addr) and now you sign and give back <-- this could work
ascii_field: did i miss
a line in the log? where did the web thing come in
mircea_popescu: anyway. it bears insistingly repeating : the internet is big. the web is
a pustule on its ass.
danielpbarron: you tell the full node what inputs and what outputs, node says ok here's
a raw tx to sign (it includes an extra output pointing at node's own addr) and now you sign and give back
funkenstein_: or maybe best to keep the payment for those services in
a separate tx
kakobrekla: and each node has different cache size, brings on
a bunch of mess
ascii_field: (at present,
a node has no notion of 'full')
mircea_popescu: ascii_field again : we have
a pool of X bytes. tx are allowed in only if they pay more than average fore that x.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only way relaying as currently deployed may survive is if it somehow ends up in
a compact with mining
mircea_popescu: tx passed the test, and is now
a tx. should get something for this.
ascii_field: see, this is
a 'fella walks in from the street and gets something for having
a pulse' situation
mircea_popescu: ascii_field for many reasons. such as for instance that we could see
a situation where enemy controls 80% of hash and refuses to include your txn
ascii_field: but i'm not certain why bitcoind must be
a long-term flophouse for tx that can't find
a block to sit down in for weeks
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 14:24:11; asciilifeform: go try and ddos
a tier 1.
ascii_field: who ever hangs for two weeks waiting for
a block ?!
ascii_field: 'legit' is not
a permanent citizenship in my machine ram !
mircea_popescu: i'll feel like having
a lava lamp taken out of my asshole once this can finally be said. "no leaks!"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: btw, is there any reason we oughtn't shoot any tx that's hung around in mempool for more than
a few days ?
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 14:06:24; asciilifeform: ^ if this is not
a memory leak, then i fart toyotas.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 13:45:16; decimation: danielpbarron: what does
a 'practitioner of modern judaism' do exactly? like, they know they torah and tanakh but are too cool to follow them?
jurov: well, cuz it processes only one attachment at
a time and i'm too lazy to redo it to consider signatures
mircea_popescu: ascii_field [...] such as ? << been thinking of
a usable packaging for your convenience since i said that.
trinque: decimation: I believe /dev/udp and /dev/tcp are bashisms which do not actually exist as
a device node
jurov: attachments are not filtered depending on whether they have
a sig or not
ben_vulpes: <trinque> boost also barfs about
a number of targets, none of which seem to have mattered. << have seen, wrestled this beast, multiply
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 13:32:51; kakobrekla: I think it is wrong to ban
a person just because they hold different beliefs. < this doesnt make much sense , but > I think it is wrong to ban
a person just because are sick. < does.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 13:20:01; shinohai: Not sure if my pal pussyfreak is here, but he is
a Java developer. I hate Java, but I haven't tried to kill him or tell him he is going to fry if he doesn't use Python instead.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 12:56:17; shinohai: If there *is*
a God jurov, I'd like to think he chooses you, instead of vice-versa. I know all the "free will" speeches.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 12:49:57; kakobrekla: nah, the correct observation would be that religion is
a virus and religious people ill.
mircea_popescu: actually this may well be how to know you live at the dawn of
a civilisation. shit doesn't work and you imagine this to be an exceptional, remarkable, worrisome thing.
mircea_popescu: herpitty-derp and
a bottle of "thank you for all your hard work".
mircea_popescu: everyone at all points in time and space was hard at work at making it impossible to write
a history he doesn't wanna hear.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 03:31:00; asciilifeform: the total war against honest history is
a specifically 20th c. thing (if we discount chinese and egyptian monarchs who were deeply into rewriting the books)
mircea_popescu: if it came to terms with the fact that they're in charge of
a population of shitheads in
a poorly developed country barely hanging on to the first world, with decaying infrastructure they can't upkeep etc,
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 03:24:40; decimation: now, I do think usg has
a real problem with its 'secret services' running amock, making
a mess of things, and generally being completely untransparent to anybody
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 03:17:35; decimation: either he was
a brilliant ru spy, or he was
a self-appointed reddit internet policeman
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 03:06:06; coderwill: Ah, thanks for the background - that's really interesting. I myself am thinking about
a new project, and was wondering if in this day and age it is
a disadvantage to attach
a real-life identify to the Internet.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 02:37:25; BingoBoingo: Well, they will probably keep humans at the cash register to provide
a surface for customers to direct anger at.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 02:33:54; BingoBoingo: So long as McDonalds has few corporate stores they have to staff and having staff at all is largely
a franchisee problem McDonalds will automate for consistency (i.e. robogrill) instead of doing so to purely reduce labor.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 01:22:26; asciilifeform: i.e. if you built it and it ended up sitting down in /home/luser/
a/b/d/e/f/g/p/q/r/s, it will stay there. or rebuild WHOLE THING again.
mircea_popescu: shinohai something on
a 100mbit pipe i imagine he means
danielpbarron: decimation> danielpbarron: what does
a 'practitioner of modern judaism' do exactly? << someone who believes in old testament stuff and not new testament. And yeah they also have some other books they add to scripture like the "oral tradition"
decimation: it would only be helpful if you could install 'upstream' on
a big isp network
decimation: so you wouldn't even need to restrict yourself to
a single ip
