mircea_popescu: anyway, this isn't a problem to charge at.
cazalla: mike_c, maybe you know or not but timestamp in WoT browser don't appear to update if you previously left that person a rating.. example, a rating i left a month ago is timestamped nov 2014 ☟︎
asciilifeform: the overall picture is not encouraging. we are -this- close to a total intel monopoly on serious iron
BingoBoingo: Probably, but it may be a small step towards china saying fuck the x86-MS warez game and moving to Ubuntu warez
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: quite possibly just a paper game.
BingoBoingo: jurov: That is a sexy find
assbot: Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | A+ Servers | 3U | 3012MA-H12TRF ... ( http://bit.ly/1ALJXpF )
mircea_popescu: i was, but there doesn't seem to exist such a thing.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, who would win a fight between bitcoin jesus and bitcoin godfather ?
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 19:31:11; HeySteve: not sure if anyone noticed / cared, but gmaxwell paid a backhanded compliment to the "MPOE crowd" recently
mircea_popescu: maybe in the future it'll be "no, really, if you made a movie it's not your movie", but i think that's more than a graph node away.
mircea_popescu: really, it's not intended as a thing to fuck with people from. it's intended as a thing where to be safe from people fucking with you.
mircea_popescu: diametric here, as in #b-a.
mircea_popescu: i can see the case, i tell you. quentin tarantino makes a new movie, it's on your box before release, he comes here and goes OMFGWTFBBQ what am i supposed to say ? fuck you, give us free shit ?
mircea_popescu: if they come here and make a good case, they'd get it. if not... nothing.
diametric: mircea_popescu, a better question, what will you or your upstream provider do if given a dmca request to remove an ip participating in a bittorrent swarm, or a request for the customer information?
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'll move the static deed hosting to a box with IP soon, then ask kakobrekla to cname the domain to its IP
trinque: s3's doing a fine job for what I'm asking of it
kakobrekla: the way to handle it is to have an a record pointing to deeds servers ip
kakobrekla: last time someone asked me to do a perma redirect from deeds. to deedbot.org which I did
trinque: probably a setting in the registrar's panel
mircea_popescu: mod6 nono, it's good. creates a record, we have it for 5 years later when we've foprgotten
mircea_popescu: mats, too frail to be a ranger, to slow to be a troll... is there no place under the sun left for him ?
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, i did put a `uname -a` in this latest dpaste, but its: AWS m3.medium debian6 x86_64 with 3.5Gb RAM
mircea_popescu: dude this shit, where i say something and it gets confirmed two lines down. ima go have a drink.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, this is a trope of contemporaneity. thoroughly broke "feminist" graduate student reduced to waiting tables for rest of life will STILL not "surrender". ie, admit the banruptcy of his own stupidity, to himself.
HeySteve: not sure if anyone noticed / cared, but gmaxwell paid a backhanded compliment to the "MPOE crowd" recently ☟︎
asciilifeform: not as if there aren't a couplea dozen vps crud isps who will take the 10 dollah
mircea_popescu: a cool
mircea_popescu: mike_c now that's a point. yo cazalla ! BingoBoingo ! THE NEWS IS CHASING YOU!
mike_c: qntra's slipping today. Gavin beats a hasty retreat and new Bitcoin ISP.
asciilifeform: it's not exactly a public derpual, this isp.
mike_c: that is a cool idea. yes.
mircea_popescu: could make a timelapse in a year or ten.
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 ?

assbot: 0 results for 'greedy algorithm' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=greedy+algorithm
asciilifeform: (it has a usable mathematical definition, for instance)
mircea_popescu: housing roofs also play the role of attracting (or repelling) hot sexy soaking wet babes to your perch for the purpose of you getting a blowjob.
Adlai: the XX% figure just goes to show that personhood is a little beyond biology
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.
Adlai: a better way of saying this is that: while dna is a great example of "code is data"; most of the data not being code for gene transcription does not directly imply that it has no other use
mircea_popescu: still not very valid a comparison, because no thiamine ever links to.. acell wall.
mircea_popescu: in any case, claiming a z80 and a pentium 6 are "99.84% identical" on the grounds of mass spectrometry is about as apt.
mircea_popescu: Adlai not a good example, it's directly obviouswhat that does.
mats: asciilifeform: monkey patch for sure, but it does have its place... with a dozen other mitigations.
mats: it saves android from spinning up a dalvik VM from scratch afaik
mircea_popescu: Recently there has been a flurry of posts by Gavin at http://gavinandresen.svbtle.com/ which advocate << lol just how many blogs is this guy keeping
mats: fun fact: Android ASLR is shit because it has a 'zygote' model for processes, which forks but does not execve
trinque: mircea_popescu trinque can you put a redirect on deed site so that http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/9ULZPc7yeZ9fQEA1aZ73H6mcv1s2C4gYFAbNTb5urovj << that site currenty redirects to the uniregistry thing, should instead redirect to deedbot.org/{txn_id}.txt
mircea_popescu: trinque can you put a redirect on deed site so that http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/9ULZPc7yeZ9fQEA1aZ73H6mcv1s2C4gYFAbNTb5urovj resolves ?
mats: fun fact: there is a PostScript ASIC.
asciilifeform: (afaik no one has even produced a true (non-metalloidfpga) asic yet)
mircea_popescu: this is a gpu thing.
asciilifeform: obsolete is a time delay thing
mircea_popescu: 0.1% out of an internet of things = a decent living.
asciilifeform: i personally collected hundreds of examples of such crud, not a single one made any attempt to install opencl
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a) you can install it. b) it might become common in futuree.
asciilifeform: the gotchas is that -not a single one of these payloads- worked
mats: this kinda shit is my #1 time-waster. i find something neat and go down the rabbit hole for a week.
mircea_popescu: gotta ask for what you want, get a quote.
mike_c: anyway, kudos mircea_popescu. are you going to publish a price sheet or is it case-by-case?
assbot: A trip through the Graphics Pipeline 2011: Index | The ryg blog ... ( http://bit.ly/1GTQwZs )
mats: http://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/a-trip-through-the-graphics-pipeline-2011-index/ series about how GPUs are implemented
mircea_popescu: if the byzantine problem had a systematic solution, we wouldn't be here.
asciilifeform: 'secured' is a meaningless word
asciilifeform: think of gpu as simply a very poorly documented coprocessor
mats: > Jellyfish is a Linux based userland gpu rootkit proof of concept project utilizing the LD_PRELOAD technique from Jynx (CPU), as well as the OpenCL API developed by Khronos group (GPU).
mircea_popescu: otherwise, how much do you pay a man to go die in palestina or w/e.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the golden age of fedualism worked EXACTLY the same : while a king indisputably expended out of his purse, and amounts that were not trivial in terms of individual households, nevertheless the entire machine worked on the wilful donations of ten thousand knights, that actually lived their life in accordance with this particular model deliberately.
mircea_popescu: instead of going crazy in a labirinth of pretense.
asciilifeform: how would you even begin a tally, l0l
assbot: 2001: A Space Odyssey on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1FU0C08 )
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 12:02:19; gabriel_laddel: IMHO, the differences between #b-a and /pol/ are many. /pol/ doesn't like it when they're censored and complains about how unfair things are. MP, and ascii both look ahead and see the need for WoTnet. MP commissions it out of pocket.
mircea_popescu: all fucking science exists as maybes, that's what it is. piles of hypotheses. just like no one can ever turn an ethic should into an engineering is, just so no one can turn a scientific maybe into an auctorial do it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the record, osama bin laden took it upon himself to deliver a dozen jingos with shards in them right @ 1, Police Plaza
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: mircea_popescu: aha right along with orwell's 'the jingo with a bullet hole in him'
asciilifeform: 'Allowing more transactions with no other changes would very likely accelerate the UTXO set growth, making it more expensive, more quickly, to run a fully validating node. And worst case would be twenty times as expensive; $10,000 per year. Affordable for a business, not for an individual.' << but now that he said this, next tack will be 'individuals have no business running nodes, only Responsible Licensed Businesses ought ..
mircea_popescu: you can't prove he's not a ninja, goes the broken mental process, because maybe you just didn't see iot.
asciilifeform: is there a hidden meaning i'm not aware of ?
SamouraiWallet: Just a fan of this irc channel and some of the people here
asciilifeform: one can bribe a victim to avoid the latter filing charges. but crown has the option to prosecute if it wants
asciilifeform: the impression i got from the linked piece is that the hackability of derpco. or whatnot was a crown criminal matter
asciilifeform: settlement, irrc, is a tort law concept and doesn't work in criminal law (outside of medieval 'bote', 'weregeld', etc)
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 ?
mircea_popescu: "We were a small company," he said. "It's not like we had millions of dollars to fight this and tons of employees." << yeah, the fetlife style. "we suck, but that's ok because we are small". herpy-derp, stick to twitter.
mircea_popescu: so how exactly was this NOT a hack
mircea_popescu: "In 2010, Tiversa scammed LabMD, a cancer testing center in Atlanta, Wallace testified. Wallace said he tapped into LabMD's computers and pulled the medical records."
davout: "we heard you didn't like limits, so we put a limit in your removal of limits so you can limit while not being limited"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is this a "grassroots" "whistleblower" ? :D
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: a) that tony robinson dude is pretty disorganised in speech ; b) http://saltydroid.info/krispen-culbertson-william-may-lawyer-seo-associates/ lol!
mircea_popescu: ancient trilema article, same idea "your country as a hotel ; or a change of perspective".
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i stand a bit, mebbe 10% of the time.
mircea_popescu: lowered into pederasty if there ever was such a thing
mircea_popescu: today. when it was decided that "well, we don't really give a shit about the debian-dominated gpg strong set"
mircea_popescu: nobody knew, but what a sad day indeed it was!
asciilifeform: (responsible for a good chunk of the current delay)
