phf: well, there's another non-portable part there: awk i think is really gawk, but i don't know if linux consistently provides gawk command, so on unix it ought to be | gawk ..., but that might (?) fail in linux
spyked: btw, re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-19#1701132 I asked around for this at some point, unfortunately I couldn't get contact info on any of the authors; leftover iron/documentation could be buried at faculty of electronics tho ☝︎

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774654 <-- from my experience, learning for a purpose can lead to a personal place of misery. consider http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/ ; if anything, rather study computing *because* people who know computer systems are needed today (hard to believe they won't be needed tomorrow either) than for any imagined fame and glory. the romantic image of pentester belongs only to "hacker" movies ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2015-06-25 00:49 mircea_popescu: there are two overlapping misguiding things here. one is, the tournament market. you wouldn't imagine singer/songwriters are better off than you because britney spears, would you ? nor would you imagine "pundits are rich" because oprah, or limbaugh or whatever.
mircea_popescu: in other news, it's so great that you can take a 2 year old article and it's actually fucking useful. but -- a point i think wasn't mentioned and it's a pity : i ~really~ like ben_vulpes code indentation style. those bars.
mircea_popescu: btw BingoBoingo, the thing with the wire : the receiver has to have some way to identify it was ~you~ who sent it. this isn't bitcoin, this is legacy ebcdic crapola, you can very well end up in the situation of "well, we did receive some money mr, but what says it's yours".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman as it currently stands it's a wonder it doesn't have ebcdic faggotry baked in also.
douchebag: Eh, I was mentioning that stuff as a way to show how my "autism" doesn't negatively impact my life
mircea_popescu: "don't go in trilema".
douchebag: If they got it wrong, I don't know what I have. I certainly know I'm not like most people
douchebag: idk, just typical autism stuff except I am a pretty normal person in terms of behaving properly, I don't enjoy social interaction much but I don't mind it
douchebag: I don't have a single phobia nor do I flynch
trinque: well they're awful, aren't they
mircea_popescu: as alf says, "didn't everyone do that in kindergarten???"
mircea_popescu: don't worry about it.
douchebag: I would like to be successful one day, I don't mind if I don't become super rich however I would like to be able to live rather comfortably and possibly retire early

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i don't buy new cpu , mobo, or cases, it would mean paying the priced-for-usgcorps 'tax'

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774473 << the problem is there's not what to have them do for even 14 hours a week. there's just too many of them, they're just too fucking useless, and they literally expect to live better than their parents. nuttery of the sort wasn't encountered ever since people on sunken titanic expected waltz to sound just as good underwater!!! ☝︎

BingoBoingo: I haven't talked with them directly yet. I'm writing the email now asking for a list, including prices for quantities greater than one.
mircea_popescu: is the dc handling supply itself, they don't outsource ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because they haven't produced a whole list of machines yet.

mircea_popescu: there's one thing it can't express too well (well here means -- in such a way as to guaranteedly and inescapably inconvenience EVERYONE) and that is, a certain notion of finality.

caaddr: I don't know if anybody is actually using PGP, now you mention it. outside of the serene republic
mircea_popescu: gpg doesn't "allow" the exporting of your own damned primes because IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO NOTATE THEM.
mircea_popescu: no there isn't, ben_vulpes fixed it!
caaddr: I didn't know there was any python involved in phuctor. I see that http://trilema.com/2015/on-how-the-factored-4096-rsa-keys-story-was-handled-and-what-it-means-to-you/#comment-114249 mentions migration from python to GMP

asciilifeform: but yes gpg is retarded and no there isn't an easy workaround afaik other than to feed it what it wants
asciilifeform: gnat has a deliberately brittle behaviour re the restriction pragmas -- if you use one it doesn't know about, it barfs. ( and i'm not even convinced that this is wrong. half of the appeal of ada is that it takes 'postel's law', rips off its head, and fucks the stump ) ☟︎
asciilifeform doesn't 'fix that's either
asciilifeform: ( still doesn't explain why he couldn't voice. but possibly his own mistake, somewhere.. )
asciilifeform: there doesn't appear to be anything peculiar about his key.
trinque: how many times have noobs said deedbot didn't work, and how many times have they been right?
asciilifeform: trinque: any idea why caaddr wasn't able to !!up himself, despite having been rated ?
caaddr: wasn't the treap invented in the 1980s?
caaddr: anyway, see how sad the state of affairs is? we can't even reproduce the technology of the early 1980s, whereas we ought to have had nearly three decades now of advancement in this area
caaddr: sure, it was millions of lines of code wasn't it?
caaddr: presumably it hasn't changed from this, phf? http://deedbot.org/deed-372115-1.txt
caaddr: didn't LMI branch off somewhat and create more innovative hardware?
phf: there was nothing "censored", it's just what was published are abstracts. litereally just reading corresponding AIMs will show you that you can't literally rebuild the cpu from them
asciilifeform: ( it won't build without an existing working copy of their gnat, exactly like the gcc fork's )
caaddr: it didn't, but I thought source would be available
asciilifeform: if anyone has a counter-argument, now is the time. otherwise ch9 will contain a 'don't use gcc-gnat' preface.

BingoBoingo: Apologies for the brainmush lemme disambiguate: That has worked so far, until the pretty girl who invited me to her place offered a beer and she met my "no" with a series of gentle teases. Since I was in her home when my dick asked "what's the worst that could happen" my brain wasn't ready to answer with "Look at all these other pretty girls"
BingoBoingo: But I did find a local AA sponsor at the meeting tonight. In the interim my sweat hasn't smelled this bad since the first time I sobered up.
BingoBoingo: I woke up at 9:30 this morning in a fat chick's bed. I didn't know those existed here. Today had been a day of confusion, convalescence, and doubt.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-21#1773596 <-- iirc intN_t are C99-specific types, but gcc 4.8 and 4.9 compile just fine, assuming stdint.h is included (workedfor me even with -std=c90) ☝︎
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-21#1773463 <-- lol! and quite naive, didn't actually consider information value at all; kinda begs the question of the ifv in the ol' library of alexandria. probably a lot higher than the web, given the economy of writing (imposed by those times' tech). brings us back full circle to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473632 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: how old are you, if you don't mind teh asking ?
mircea_popescu: notreally ; republic mostly despises the sv-powered "tech" ; you'll find pmarca's notion of "the web" doesn't carry much water, or interest, among actually competent computer folk.

phf: there's a reason why mp-wp hasn't been genesised yet :p
phf: you're going to run into png's that are admin interface ux elements that you can't just delete
phf: third solution, that's latest conversation in logs on subj is that perhaps binary blobs don't really belong in a vdiff which is a human readable code container, and should just be packed separately into e.g. a signed TAR archive and unpacked into place as a second pass
phf: eh, at best an idle curiosity. in any case original prod didn't have any diffs in it
phf: did you get the source directly from mp, or did i republish it? i remember being asked for the source and putting it up at some point, but i don't remember by whom and too lazy to log in this case
mircea_popescu: don't do that.
trinque: same deal with uint32_t iirc.
trinque: anyhow if anyone recalls specifically why int64_t was present on some systems and not others, I'd be interested for the HISTORY file.

shinohai: I was unsure hanbot, I don't recall if I ever asked mp about it, or why it was included in the copy I got originally.
mircea_popescu: t well because you only have to pay for the number of days and weeks that the equipment would be used.The back office library is like a gold mine of thousand dollar methods used by the leading earners in the business.
hanbot: 10k marked spam comments means spammy ips are stored and attempted comments from same don't show up in admin, subjectively over time it's seemed i need to spend less time mopping shitcomments. and i didn't post proper patches, but will.
