mod6: I'll eventually publish a final form of this to the btc-dev mailing list once I have these guys execute it manually & verify that it works for them.

mod6: ah, ok. well, if you get it in shape, let me know. i do think a lot of this could be automated.

trinque: I got as far as having a "bundle" uploaded to s3, where trying to "register" that barfs incomprehensibly

trinque: mod6: I crapped together a bash script that does much of what's here, not fit for general consumption yet

mod6: alright, i've got a first-draft of the gentoo stage3 AMI guide put up for review. Feel free to test this out if anyone wants. I'm having some local guys try this out for me as well. Will report any updates back here.

asciilifeform: for instance, i get a fairly good shot at violent death while commuting, but it doesn't do anything positive mentally

trinque: but seriously, I'll take the death of a spaceman

asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu observed, 'everybody gets a death, adequate to his needs, guaranteed.' and i'd rather have mine in a 'bleriot' or holding ak, than from cancer of the tonsils

trinque: asciilifeform: I don't either; when it comes up I tend to say "yes, and turns out you still die at the end"

trinque: danielpbarron: I think that group might self-select for people who have some measure of respect for their weapons

asciilifeform: i don't grasp the preoccupation with 'safety.'

asciilifeform: i assumed it meant 'belted to a chair'

danielpbarron: best example i can think of is porcfest. something like a third of the camp goers were open carrying the whole time. I didn't hear of a single instance of theft or fighting (with the exception of the guy who got too high on shrooms and fell through someone's tent by accident)

trinque: seeing them all strapped would be a great indicator I'm in one of those undesirable places

trinque: anywhere everyone's constantly strapped is a place I don't want to be

asciilifeform: i would happily learn to fly 1920s machines with the proviso that 1920 rules would apply.

assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 00:46:36; mircea_popescu: the LAST thing i want is all the idiots buzzing around IN PLANES.

mircea_popescu: you mean, with a gun ? i mean... rifle ?

danielpbarron: it happened to me too. s'why I purged all social media of any reference to having a job

Kalki: nah I just love words

mircea_popescu: ah i c.

mircea_popescu: in other news, "We always used condoms before, and we both agreed he's only going to fuck my ass now that we're married. We both love the symbolism — I'll be shitting out his weak sperm while superior black men's seed will soak into my womb as nature intended."

ben_vulpes: i have a romantic attachment to the atomic dirigible!

mircea_popescu: the LAST thing i want is all the idiots buzzing around IN PLANES. ☟︎

mod6: alright, so I'm gonna wrap up this gentoo stage3 guide, and then I'll dig in and see if I can find what's going on in there.

ben_vulpes: (i'm not ignorant of the radar issue, for the record. i just so happen to think the ars response would be "nothing could really be that big" and other interesting things."

asciilifeform: mod6: the obvious steps are 1) determine if still leaks (tentatively, i will say that it does not) and 2) determine wtf is eating the ram ☟︎

mod6: but anyway, yeah if it's still too large for the pogo, i guess that doesn't help us exactly.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as in original thread, i will point out that dirigibles (aside from being blown off-course more often than not, and being stuck doing idiotic things like venting lift gas) have gigantic radar cross-sections

mod6: so i guess I'm wrong then, if that 3255776 bytes is actually available

mod6: yeah, i can say, that it looks like (from my testing) that it did use pretty much almost all of the RAM available to my environment.

mod6: I did look through them.

asciilifeform: mod6: i assume you read my 'valgrind' outputs ?

ben_vulpes: i recall the one where you lamented nobody doing transoceanic trips with dirigibles

asciilifeform: i fully expect that being so much as found with a model propeller will be grounds for '25 to life' after the first quadcopter explodes somewhere interesting

decimation: actually I think aircraft could become much more 'personal', but usg has sat upon them

decimation: I went to the boeing museum in seattle once, it was pretty neat too. you could walk through nixon's air force one

asciilifeform: not sure what i need more of it for.

asciilifeform: i think i kinda live in something like this already

asciilifeform: i went once. nearly 100% recognizably-europeanized artifacts

decimation: asciilifeform: as I recall they now have a joint strike fighter at dulles - with the vertical takeoff variant

decimation: I found the best place to shelter was the indian museum - they have a great cafe that serves 'authentic' indian food. I had chips & salsa and a beer.

decimation: once I was trapped on the mall during a summer thunderstorm

asciilifeform: decimation: i recall when the guy was on tour

decimation: I bet if you went down to the grounds with a metal detector you could find 1000 knives

decimation: yeah that's what I did too

decimation: actually I think the best aircraft museum in the us is the air force museum in dayton, oh

asciilifeform: this one was in the museum, but somehow i never noticed it

asciilifeform: speaking of, i finally saw a me262 recently

trinque: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/e1/78/20/e17820c0bf8a3fb9cf56dbe83abf6a55.jpg << I found another.

ben_vulpes: i don't know that story

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if only that guy with the younger queen of spades gf had had the sense to do this, you know ? "hey, i just own the team. go fire my racism guy if you don';t like my being racist"

mircea_popescu: because that's totally how the mob works, "hey, i don't owe you money, that was my other personality / sister / neighbour"

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Mm soft-launch of the one that I shall be re-launching soonish ^tm >>> i was thinking hm, williamdunne ran an exchange

davout: also i finally understand why the power rangers think checkpoints are a good idea

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo fwiw i think he's smoking corn cobbs. srsly, if some woman needs me to walk everywhere with her i dun want anything to do with her. learn to kungfu.

mircea_popescu: * jurov proposes opening D.GBTC to close the circle :DDD << i would, if i didn't know in advance that the entire charade is entirely outside of any sort of economical considerations.

jurov: i did not feel like examining exact details of that braindamage

trinque: I should probably go get some pills for that

mircea_popescu: we got along great. i think might have been my favourite teacher.

trinque: points at a thing I don't have a word for.

trinque: yeah nobody I've learned from was a sweetheart

trinque: dunno that I'd count it against him if it was

trinque: I see your point

trinque: hm yeah, whatever he meant of it and whatever I gained from it are distinct

trinque: of course I had no idea what I was being taught until later

mircea_popescu: a vast majority of the great she-cooks i know (younger than me) started their cook life by being made to cut cabbage, and beaten for cutting it badly. and made to cut more.

mircea_popescu: i have no idea. are they or aren't they ?

mircea_popescu: i blame the whores that fucked the drunks to spawn them.

trinque: this is not to say that college cannot provide the experience, but that the shitty one I was paid to attend did not

trinque: mircea_popescu: exactly right though; when college didn't provide that experience for me, I left it and went to work for the entrepreneurs I knew, learned there

trinque: I tend to think there's a lot more learned helplessness out there than actual uselessness.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'd say "wow, check out the weird divide between eastern europe and the us", but it's not it. tons upon tons of livresque reference to this exact thing, in english too.

mircea_popescu: trinque well entirely different consideration, this. i was looking at it from the subjective perspective. nevermind what the world tells you to do. why the fuck are you telling yourself to do things you're clearly no good for ? it's as if at the orchestra auditions everyone wanted to play the instruments they sucked at.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field for as long as i can remember, the entire point, of school, and of intellectual activity of young people, was to find wtf they're good for.

mats: mircea_popescu: davec i believe

mircea_popescu: who was here from conformal, i forget ?

mircea_popescu: "TLDR I ran afl-fuzz against libbitcoinconsensus to discover interesting Bitcoin scripts and used them to search for Bitcoin reimplementations vulnerable to forking. This discovered two bugs in btcd by Conformal. See the bitcoinconsensus_testcases repository for the discovered Bitcoin scripts." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ascii_field dude i must have missed some memos here. last i recall, that was pretty much the only point of interest. i blinked and now everyone seems to be running around trying to pretend like they can do things they most obviously can't.

trinque: ah I dunno, depends when you ask them

ascii_field: i can't imagine too many folks would be the least bit interested in discovering what they are 'best suited for'

mircea_popescu: "why do you think you're an olympic athlete ?" "~~~BECAUSE~~~ I'm a quadriplegic. If I weren't, I wouldn't give a shit about the olympics, like everyone else."

mircea_popescu: WEBSITE: By the Principality For the Principality Website established under Royal Command by: Inspector General, FM. Lord Steven G. P. Baikie, Earl of Tankerness KGCRO., ADC., Dip.Eng. (Electronics)., DSF., RHRL. & The Hon. Sir Phillip G. Baikie KIOM. Maintained under Royal Command by: PHR I.T. Department

mircea_popescu: trinque i imagine ti must be useful when you're trying to exploit overflows.

mircea_popescu: that's what i like about "typed" languages, you know ? if (i = "" or i =="" or i === "" or i = 0 or i == 0 or i === 0 or i &= null or i ^= undefined) fuck your mother.

mircea_popescu: i'm a javascript coder now!

mircea_popescu: fuck, i finally fixed it.

ascii_field: jurov: as far as i can tell, not so much embargo as 'not enough to go around, so members-only'

mircea_popescu: For checking if a string is empty, null or undefined I use: return (!str || 0 === str.length); For checking if a string is blank, null or undefined I use: return (!str || /^\s*$/.test(str)); For checking if a string is blank or contains only white-space: return (this.length === 0 || !this.trim());

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i don't get why they'd make a x86 sparc. << this is scary. i'd think you'd lose all ops/clock-cycle optimizations doing some translation between the two right?

mircea_popescu: i don't get why they'd make a x86 sparc.

ascii_field: and 3) no public docs whatsoever. i looked.

ascii_field: so from what i can see, 1) they cut every possible corner 2) rolled in x86 because unspoken 'winblows 4ever'

ascii_field: but i see a number of oddities right off the bat

ascii_field: i'd buy in a hearbeat if had any lead on where.

mircea_popescu: but i suspect too early yet

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i can bitch at someone there to buy it, i imagine. prolly so can you

mircea_popescu: you know i *am* willing to buy one, host it in the ukr lands closeby, and so on.

mircea_popescu: i thought you meant the site. gotta love those girls, great sports.

mircea_popescu: i was thinking hm, williamdunne ran an exchange ?
