mircea_popescu: dude this shit, where i say something and it gets confirmed two lines down. ima go have a drink.
mike_c: I don't write badly, but I also don't write quickly.. my writing muscles are weak.
HeySteve: internet tubes I suppose!
mike_c: That gavin thing has to be written up. I mean.. this is what he chooses to backpedal on?
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> how is the being passed over without comment? Real actual bitcoin hosting! very cool. << i shudder at the thought of what'll happen once reddit & all gets wind of it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c one idea i had while falling asleep : would it be feasible to save a snapshot of wot.svg each night before update ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought it was deliberate ?
mats: Adlai: as far as i can tell, its unequivocally better than dalvik
mircea_popescu: no i know what it is.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but now you're arguing with a straw man. i never said it doesn't, i just said as far as we know, it might as well not.
mircea_popescu: mats admittedly i'm clueless, but how does this optimize anything
mats: i believe its an optimization
asciilifeform: mats: i very much see aslr as the proverbial 'teacher's condom', as per https://xkcd.com/463
trinque: which I'll do when next I'm hacking on it
trinque: and I need to rename my deed files so they're named like that
mircea_popescu: from what i hear, in lisp.
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 12:04:56; cazalla: if and when it comes time to cut throats, well i suspect i'll ace that compared to some others
BingoBoingo: The fish, it is very hard to kill. I keep holding it under the water, but it will not drown!
asciilifeform: i personally collected hundreds of examples of such crud, not a single one made any attempt to install opencl
mats: this kinda shit is my #1 time-waster. i find something neat and go down the rabbit hole for a week.
mats: that series i linked is one of the best i've read about how modern GPUs work
asciilifeform: mats: i dunno enough about silicon to say what i'd rather have << but it is not difficult to arrive at what one would rather -not- have. as (i think it was) mircea_popescu wrote, 'i don't lay eggs, but...'
mats: i dunno enough about silicon to say what i'd rather have
mike_c: I guess because everyone except me is already on the damn thing.
mats: asciilifeform: yes, i know. just wanted to share... in terms of security features GPUs will just blindly run whatever binary you feed it, without any kind of validation.
mircea_popescu: dma is actually one of the principal reasons i agree with alf's "current computing stack must die"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-05-2015#1125101 << i would like to clarify this point at this time, by underscoring that while i do undertake some expense out of pocket, and that may well appear as an untrivial ammount, especially in terms of one's own household, nevertheless : 1) it is trivial compared to the tasks at hand, indiscutably and 2) B,TMSR~ runs immense deficits, as discussed in http://trilema.com/20 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (and by no one can, i mean systematically. obviously one can, but only as an individual act. only ever as an individual act)
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:27:30; asciilifeform: 'Sometimes it is a comfort to me to think that the aeroplane is altering the conditions of war. Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecedented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him.' -- orwell. but i'd ask for 'an economist starved to death'
asciilifeform: either this, or the old favourite 'this did not happen, i did not say this'
asciilifeform: is there a hidden meaning i'm not aware of ?
asciilifeform: the impression i got from the linked piece is that the hackability of derpco. or whatnot was a crown criminal matter
mircea_popescu: "you fucked up, eiother you pay me or i sue"
asciilifeform: ianal - but what, i wonder, is the american law re: extortion using regulatory officials? i.e. can you demand $x to stay silent about rats in a restaurant ?
asciilifeform: and i bet - largely factual
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: damned if i know. but it's hilarious.
davout: gavinandresen: "wumpus: yes. An increase to the max block size must be preceded or accompanied by a limit on the UTXO set size, I think." <<< top kek
mircea_popescu: neway, i invited that droid dude over, voice him if he shows up ☟︎
asciilifeform: damned if i remember. possibly mr mold
asciilifeform: i learned this as 'no one dies to defend his hotel'
mircea_popescu: yes, but the difference between "my wife/slavegirl/twu wuv/we you call it" and "this cunt i'm fucking for the time being" is the only real difference in the world.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i stand a bit, mebbe 10% of the time.
mircea_popescu: (maybe i'm just sentimental, i used to actually like them)
asciilifeform: i'll adjust it as soon as i also figure out the db locking thing
pete_dushenski: i'm currently giving 'foundation training' a go. basically simplified yoga to specifically counter the effects of sitting at a computer all day (and all night). ☟︎
mats: but it came back in half a year after i kept working on a shite toshiba ultrabook
gabriel_laddel: I can vouch for Aaron not being a shmuck.
assbot: How I Cured my RSI Pain ... ( http://bit.ly/1FTUDss )
gabriel_laddel: mats: http://aaroniba.net/articles/tmp/how-i-cured-my-rsi-pain.html
mats: the frustrating thing is that i've had carpal tunnel since 18, and it actually went away after four months in basic training/AIT
pete_dushenski: i still go for treatment once a month for maintenance, was once a week at first
pete_dushenski: i'd recommend it.
mats: pete_dushenski: i'll talk to a physician about it.
mats: which is appropriate, i'd say, because cambodians are like the black people of asia
mircea_popescu: i guess it didn't catch.
pete_dushenski: i have nfi how mine eventually went away. physio is the most likely explanation.
mircea_popescu: i lived there, had nfi it's a shithole!
mats: ha. i'll probably move to a shithole like Lowell (for the low rent), and read a mountain of books
mats: pete_dushenski: notrly. i'm actually thinking about taking six months to a year off, my carpal tunnel has been getting worse recently so the timing may be fortuitous after all
mircea_popescu: i guess he was underemployed
asciilifeform: mats: waitasec i thought you were a reverser
mats: i did a mix of front and back office IT support

mats: so, i got two weeks notice today
danielpbarron: oh, re: eulora ? I wasn't worried :p
decimation: I've been told by chinese engineer students that many in rural china survive on alcohol
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to call it a syllogism. what if you don't know you're missing x ? what thrones of china you're missing that you never had ?
mircea_popescu: i do not see that if then thing follows.
Adlai: rather than answer my own question, I'll pose another... many moons ago, while applying for an exclusive elitist summer course for kids in philosophy or paradoxes or somesuch, the instructor interviewed each kid individually
funkenstein_: schiesse, now i've gone and stepped in a can of worms haven't i
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, I do concede that without things like genetics, air to breathe, gravity and such, we wouldn't have intelligence as we know it
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, no i can't get a dog to pass the BC calc test but that is hardly a proof of causation
gabriel_laddel: http://education.seattlepi.com/animals-share-human-dna-sequences-6693.html << info is from this, I don't have time to do actual research atm
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: "You may have some idea in your mind that things like cancer, intelligence, and obesity are in some way caused by genetics. By the time you are done reading this post, I hope you will no longer labour under this gross misconception." << wait, so intelligence is in no way caused by genetics?
pete_dushenski: "Wait, you're doing a warrant check on me before I can report a robbery? Oh yeah, we gotta know who you are before we take a complaint. You and everyone you’re living with? What’s your address again? You still want to report that robbery?"
thestringpuller: I'm starting to think everytime you kill a Gavin-esque zombie, it's already infected 10 innocents which then become zombies.
danielpbarron: "I don?t really have a strong opinion on block size either?but if we?re going to do a hard fork, let?s use this as an opportunity to create a good process for hard forks (which we?ll inevitably need to do again in the future)." << leave it up to these guys and the 21 million cap will be lifted in a matter of years

cazalla: i'm on the lower end of the totem pole here, not so bad to realise such a thing though
cazalla: well, my example is not the only one, just something i've observed myself
cazalla: and when i tried to discuss Bitcoin with them i was accused of being a JIDF shill
cazalla: i guess the difference is that /pol/ assigns the problems cause by an individual to the group whereas #b-a does not
cazalla: i spent much more time there before i found #b-a
gabriel_laddel: I'm not much into it
gabriel_laddel: I should note that I'm aware of /pol/
gabriel_laddel: I'll have to take your word for it.
cazalla: not that i have not wanted to but the law says no, violence against women, australia says no! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCCt-Bo07oc
gabriel_laddel: (I kid)
cazalla: i'm like.. don't run.. so he runs and goes head over heals and whack.. what can ya do? they don't fucking listen
cazalla: he face planted into the floor boards and tried to eat the play-doh i bought him today
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 17 minutes, and 7 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
assbot: The Angels - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again - Live 1988 - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1EgOKRn )

chetty: hey cazalla I think you and me only ones awake :P
mircea_popescu: shit i forgot how to do this.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck i missed that schmuck is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: i find myself drinking less and less ;/
cazalla: drinking? i don't drink as much as i did before my short stint working, but now back at home each day, figured why not have a drink tonight
cazalla: stuff some sand i meant to say
cazalla: if someone is willing to truck em interstate, all the more to em i say
