decimation: mircea_popescu: sure! bombing libya was an example of
a brilliant plan to shepard the outbreak of love and democracy, not throwing matches at
a barrel of petrol
trinque: asciilifeform: you should give me
a prize if I guess wrong
BingoBoingo: Not yet. May guve that
a try if I pick up LEDs before this batch dies. Was considering LED bulbs for an outdoor fixture, but witing on outdoor fixture's bulb to die first because it hates human contact.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indoor, shares
a circuit with
a dimmer switch
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have
a fixture which disagrees with CFLS. Since the bulbocaust my stock is depleting rapidly as bulbs that once lasted years only now last months
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 2 for josh_rossi with note: maecenas, finex
cazalla: BingoBoingo, not cups but i vaguely remember about 25 years ago that they did
a big song and dance about biodegradable plastic bags here down under and how they would be phased in and the old ones phased out, yet to this day they still carry on about plastic bags
ascii_field: but answer is no, it wasn't
a proper beta account, it was
a one-off demo that dissolved in ~month
ascii_field: mircea_popescu even gave me
a 1 btc to drive it with
ascii_field: it wasn't an early beta, it was
a demo just for me
ben_vulpes: do you do
a stat before and after placing every order?
jurov: it was the rest that took half
a year
ben_vulpes: <jurov> they'd have to hire knuth himself to squeeze something usable out of that atrocious api << ah, it's not that bad, just write
a parser for the variety-speaking ad-hoc blublang
ascii_field: jurov: magnetic logic as described in the literature mostly 'cheated' by including
a diode with each gate
jurov: he's born into wrong time, prolly wants to build
a pyramid
☟︎ ascii_field: i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers
a new key signed with
a previous key to not be
a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?)
☟︎ ascii_field: aha, to upgrade key, mircea_popescu has to take
a прогресс м-27м to orbit, and unscrew the old one, then retro-thruster and parachute capsule back to b-
a mircea_popescu: mpex does not discourage anything. mpex charges, because mpex is
a business.
mircea_popescu: if you can upgrade your key for free, you don't have to pay mpex, you can just find someone with
a key they don't want to use anymore and they can "upgrade" theirs to yours.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ;;later tell nubbins` yo nooblet, make
a pink eyes banner ? :D
mircea_popescu: go into the shop get
a new one made, what. you want to turn the old one in for
a new one ?
mircea_popescu: and it specifically should be 'unsupported'. For all you know
a key ends up rediscovered five billion years later.
mircea_popescu: ah, but mind that there's no in principle reason
a computer might not exist.
ascii_field: they cannot be undiscovered, yes. and don't have
a baked-in temporal peg
mircea_popescu: you can't un-discover some integers in
a certan mathematical relation.
ascii_field: merely suggesting
a machine-readable standard for this, yes.
mircea_popescu: you have
a comment field in the keys as they are now. put in there "This key not valid after block 175552"
ascii_field: we have technology that can, with some certainty, prove that i did something at
a certain moment in epoch time, plus or minus ten minutes
mircea_popescu: people have
a way of coming to odds with their intentions
ascii_field: but there -must- be
a way to proclaim, with all the certainty that can be mustered, the fact that 'i signed with this before but -never intend to again-'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field makes keys too big, doesn't actually offer anything other than the equivalent "at key promulgation, use it to sing
a list of nonces, with understanding that statements w/io the nonce are void", let wot enforce this.
ascii_field: one could picture
a few 'cheats.' consider one: key, when promulgated, contains
a large but finite set of values Q such that hash(hash(...(P)...) = Q, while P are retained as private. every signature must contain
a unique Q from this set. when it is time to retire the key, you spend the remaining 'bullets' all at once.
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 18:03:07; ascii_field: if there is
a 'key is dead' token that one is relying on some third party to keep secret - it can be captured
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 19:23:06; mircea_popescu: davout make
a paymium banner then!
ascii_field: -not-, pointedly,
a relay - there is no mechanical motion or wear
ascii_field: basic idea is
a transformer whose output varies, given as
a second (or more) circuit gets to saturate (or not) its core.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you have
a discrete cristalline lattice of U, selected nodes get energized to the point they split, creating Xe
decimation: I think tyan is coming out with
a mobo soon
mircea_popescu: actually - lasered into
a chunk of uranium, so that selected atoms turn into gas.
mircea_popescu: spent millenia not even knowing there was
a global namespace, perfectly happy.
mircea_popescu: (this is exactly how nature does it - as far as it's concerned the namespace is the genotype, as far as you're concerned you just use
a nick for the fenotype)
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 16:14:04; jurov: i hope gossipd spec has
a part concerning this. otherwise it will be inevitably bolted on in some ugly haphazard fashion
jurov: mircea's ideal is
a schrodinger's box apparently
ascii_field: jurov: but what if someone 'unearths'
a signature from last year that no one has seen before ?
jurov: owner signed last merkle hash from
a month ago, nothing seen from that key since
trinque: ascii_field something like deedbot for key expirations (and the presently nonexistent but direly necessary expire-for-new-signatures-only) is inevitable << could you use
a specific message format with the deedbot- as is?
ascii_field: the whole point of 'expiring'
a key is to prevent its use in the future
ascii_field: jurov: for the purposes of establishing the time of
a particular signature
ascii_field: as i understand, the only way to do this is to require
a blockchain 'ping' with -every- signature
ascii_field: if there is
a 'key is dead' token that one is relying on some third party to keep secret - it can be captured
☟︎ danielpbarron: warptangent, who are you? (i see you have
a key registered but no ratings yet)
ascii_field: and yes, the only way to solve the expire-for-new-sigs problem is, likely, to require blockchain turd emission for every single sig, for such
a key
davout: hmm, if it doesn't update keys you can start with
a non expiring one and add the expiration date after opening your acct
davout: you can always extend the expiration date of
a key
jurov: you usually don't know in advance when
a key needs to expire or get invalidated
davout: well, i guess you're fuxxored unless there was
a sensible plan in place
davout: also if the transfer procedure is specified in the initial contract that shouldn't be
a problem
davout: jurov: not all corporations have
a single owner
mod6: <+jurov> but gpg pubkeys are not practical for replacing DNS. what if you want to tranfer the name? << then there would be
a deed detailing the transfer of the name to
a new key fingerprint?
ben_vulpes has
a blind spot for derp problems in general
jurov: i hope gossipd spec has
a part concerning this. otherwise it will be inevitably bolted on in some ugly haphazard fashion
☟︎ williamdunne: ;;later tell mircea_popescu have you purchased ads on 8chan? I just saw
a trilema ad asking to buy photos of my tits
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 05:53:05; punkman: "The linux futex_wait call has been broken for about
a year (in upstream since 3.14, around Jan 2014), and has just recently been fixed (in upstream 3.18, around October 2014). More importantly this breakage seems to have been back ported into major distros (e.g. into RHEL 6.6 and its cousins, released in October 2014), and the fix for it has only recently been back ported (e.g. RHEL 6.6.z and cousins
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 01:37:03; mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and since we're doing future references : you don't want
a 20% of empty sky and cut calves.
mircea_popescu: (biafra was
a part of nigeria during civil war. famine and nutty shit)
mircea_popescu:
a mixture of glee and excitement at the outlandishness of it.
mircea_popescu: honestly i watch the news from anglosphere today like i watched the news from biafra twenty years ago, as
a child.
mircea_popescu: "
A students' union officer who is employed to promote diversity at
a London university has reportedly asked white people and men not to attend an anti-racism protest meeting.
cazalla: so AFP got back to me.. those pics i shared earlier are legit (yet the newsarticle shows an mp5 lol) and AFP tells me that they never sent the guns despite press release saying they did
a controlled delivery and guns were seized
copypaste: You could probably run
a nice Bitcoin arbitrage out of Argentina if you did it right.
copypaste: Yes, you can. That board is in Spanish though so you might want to use
a different page, or not.
cazalla: yeah i think i mentioned his work with OHPI (online hate prevention institute) like
a year back
