asciilifeform: but in practice, it has. i have a $$$$$ fpga board gathering dust because realized that it is impossible to implement ddr2 controller (and drive any available memory of reasonable density) without reversing the entire chip

mircea_popescu: this was discussed i swear

mircea_popescu: start it from something that's derpy but works, i say, rather than something that's clever, but doesn't.

mircea_popescu: i just meant, use the items somehow.

mircea_popescu: basically, I want to play music ? i can now get a 5 x 6 sheet of polyester, glue cds on it printed with this thing, and plug it in.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's actually reminiscent of one idea i looked into - optical logic produced photographically via laser

mircea_popescu: i wonder, and bear with my layered ignorance on all matters of import, but i wonder :

mircea_popescu: lobbes nah. io should stop spamming. Xuthus i don't actually code worth a shit.

asciilifeform: chip fab << i've been doing some (mostly theoretical) work on the subject, for some years. it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

ben_vulpes: perhaps next time i take a whack at my bush i'll sculpt it into a cockbrow

ben_vulpes: i was hoping for a /mircea_popescu eyes a cockbrow

ben_vulpes: i have no context or anything to judge music against.

ben_vulpes: no, i said i have no idea if it's any good.

ben_vulpes: 'tisn't as though i ever had good taste in music beat into me.

ben_vulpes: how would I know...

mircea_popescu: i guess. but this is a definite meritous future thing for s.nsa to pursue.

mircea_popescu: for one thing, i was never short of guns when it actually came to guns to defend freedom.

mircea_popescu: i am certainly more interested in a "print your own chips" road to freedom than in the "print your own guns" approach.

punkman: mats, this guy I think http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=1

mircea_popescu: i have no wonderment for how anglos are reinterpreting arab ideas in their own framework (which, for this purpose, is strictly millenarism)

mircea_popescu: i thought they started more from jihadish ideas.

danielpbarron: i've seen such sensationalist headlines as "the only way to stop the NSA from spying on you is to smash your hard drive"

cazalla: 3am drunk cooking, what can i come up with!

mircea_popescu: i actually had no idea

cazalla: this is one of those, i sorta know the answer to my question but im gonna ask as if im clueless anyway

lobbes: naw I'm just fucked in the head

lobbes: bloke, but if I ever get thrown in jail it would be almost poetic if I get butt-raped

lobbes: I dig aussies, though, so I'll go with that origin

lobbes: cazalla: I'll admit I just googled that. I always thought it was of 'French origin'

lobbes: jurov: lobbes it's matter of degrees, the more deeper you go, the less you think you know << yeah, that seems to be the theme of everything I learn. Which plays into the 'addiction' point MP made. "There's more to learn!"

jurov: when i chose not to avoid them, there's other kinds of frustration but not the "everything goes to shit" feeling

cazalla: yeah, i hate everything, oh happy day i throw all these computers in the fkn bin

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: soon enough you'll be pretty disatisfied with the world in general << i thought this was naturally a part of the aging process. i.e. "the old man".

mircea_popescu: lol i kept messaging assbit

cazalla: now with linux i thought i was clean but turns out i was just hiv positive

lobbes: can't wait until I know what I'm doing enough to throw off the 'windows shackles' altogether

lobbes: I have no idea what is running on my bill-gates machine, but I can find that answer in less than a second on my Debian VPS

lobbes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=16-02-2015#1021517 << Thanks! I'm starting to realize the value of it over the winshits and macshits; that being having control over your computing. ☝︎

danielpbarron: i'm sure once it's caught up i'll do fine

jurov: but I have no idea who can be motivated to develop this.. certainly not bezzle valley

assbot: Logged on 16-02-2015 17:35:31; danielpbarron: maybe there's something to what MP is saying; I can get pretty high from holding my breath while standing up suddenly

kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-02-2015#1021140 < i know of a guy (elementary school classmate) who did it on a sloped road. lost a few front teeth. ☝︎

punkman: cazalla: a wiki of bitcoin companies, who was involved, when they launched/closed etc etc, edited and maintained by a select few << I pitched this idea a couple times, guess the time has come for it?

pete_dushenski: i have no interest in paying for a wsj sub to see the rest of that article, however

pete_dushenski: "The Great Internet Power Grab: We’ve come a long way from Steve Jobs as ‘phone phreak’ to Tom Wheeler as ruler of the Internet." << should i know who tom wheeler is ? if he's someone, why isn't he here ?

ben_vulpes: i'm endeavoring to sync a portatronic build

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i'll let you know when i get there

ben_vulpes: dictionary* attacks i mean to say.

ben_vulpes: man security world must be even more esl than i was given to understand

ben_vulpes: cazalla: i had a rio riot

ben_vulpes: i'm in the top 12 for the past twelve months

cazalla: i opted for the creative jukebox.. what a piece of shit that was

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what, you think i don't get this?

mircea_popescu: It's debatable whether keeping potential terrorists in Cuba is a good idea. But when the State starts using pyschiatry to manage their population... I know you think I am exaggerrating. I'll bet you're not poor.

pete_dushenski: that was the first one i had too

pete_dushenski: which i seem to recall being $500 in 2001 bucks

ben_vulpes: i gave one away recently

ben_vulpes: i used nearly every mpwhater whatever object during that time

pete_dushenski: i have 11.0.1 on this machine and even it's far messier and more byzantine than the older versions i seem to recall

pete_dushenski: doesn't mean much i suppose

mircea_popescu: well i never used it, so dunno

mircea_popescu: i remember the times i could safely eat oxtail soup

Vexual: I think if brussexels had a look at northern Australian, they would say 'don't bother'

BingoBoingo: People catch Brucellosis in "Brucellosis Free" states. If I accept the meta-NSA exists its common name is most likely the United States Department of Agriculture.

BingoBoingo: I wouldn't doubt it.

BingoBoingo: Brains and eggs I remember as being good, but since this continent has deer with CJD and the UK had mad cow, have to settle for making it with pork brains.

BingoBoingo: If there is a part of the cow that tastes more like beef than the tongue I have yet to meet it.

BingoBoingo: I don't recall. I'm still deep in the libations that are getting me over the meat odometer rollover.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo quite exactly. "fuck you, i'm a dragon". "because i say so". you seen /search-and-destroy/ ?

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FYIAD | Aug 26, 2007 ... Top Definition. FYIAD. Fuck You, I'm A Dragon Originated in some lame back-and -forth furry argument, but when you think about it, it's a good ...

assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 01:42:33; decimation: then I heard this podcast: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/02/glenn_reynolds.html << "Guest: It's funny--one of my friends, who has been a long-term, upper level bureaucrat in Washington said to me his favorite phenomenon to see is these people coming through these usually politically-appointed jobs and, he says: They think everybody loves them. And then they leave the job and they realize that eve

mircea_popescu: "Here's the part Americans can't get: why would Iran put them on TV when everyone is going to know it was forced? Unless you are saying that the Iranians, and only the Iranians, are so completely delusional that they actually believe the servicemen were thankful and apologetic, then this show had to appeal to some broader audience. Other people had to believe this was the real thing. Is it possible-- and I'm just

mircea_popescu: Iranians, and they are not heroes. But I can see that it is ego protective, I can see why they might take this perspective."

mircea_popescu: hose soldiers were thinking, "look, I know who I am, I know I'm not a coward, I'm not helping the Iranians, but I have to do whatever is necessary to get out of this mess." What they are saying is that they can declare who they are, and what they do has no impact on it. "I am a hero, regardless of how I act." That's the narcissist fallacy. Whatever they may think about themselves, the fact is that they did help the

mircea_popescu: "Here's an example I fear no one will understand. The Iranians took 15 British soldiers hostage. The soldiers surrendered without a fight (ironically, so as not to start an international incident), and then pretended to go along with the Iranians. They did the song and dance "we are bad, we are imperialists, Ahmadinejad is good, we're sorry, thanks for being so nice to us" and were eventually released. So I'm sure t

mmeyer: I searched and it said good conversation in here, from MN/USA

BingoBoingo: <mmeyer> I'm confused, new to irc << Many people are indeed new compared to IRC. Meat odometer just rolled over and yet IRC is still older than me

mmeyer: I'm confused, new to irc

mircea_popescu: well, im pretty sure assbot won't allow it for the future. i didn't know gribble did

decimation: I guess $685k is 'note from stalin'

Adlai: maybe i should stop thinking

Adlai: the more i think about it, the more it seems that nicks are a second layer on top of the wot, provided by specific wot nodes - either a centralized nick->node mapping like assbot, or individual gossipd configs

mircea_popescu: "Consider this: In the past 10 years has the distribution you run changed significantly in what it offers over other distributions? I think you'll find the answer is largely no. I do have to give a shout out to openSUSE for the OBS, but otherwise I've used my desktop in the same exact way that I have always used it within the continuity of distribution X,Y, or Z since I started using them. Distributions simply aren't f

decimation: but not smoked, I would like to try them smoked

asciilifeform: i've not had all possible spart-alikes

decimation: I eat those regularly, king oskar brand

decimation: yeah I've been there

decimation: I'm from the us

mircea_popescu: by the way, i scored a major victory in the battle with culinary darkness.

asciilifeform: the hardest thing to score where i live is proper sprats

mircea_popescu: i guess you'll prolly be left out of the future si trade too...

asciilifeform: i'll note that it is possible to use substrates other than si

asciilifeform: i've some theoretical work, but it remains on paper

decimation: eh, I don't see how the tech is getting cheaper either

Adlai: i guess the question is, what purpose does the wot serve? is it just a way of programming the congregation's robotic doormen, or is it something more?

BingoBoingo: <Adlai> let's take a step back. the wot should be about who trusts whom, and trust is verified on the basis of signatures. i see no reason why node identity should be based on anything other than signing keys. << limit in wetware when parsing single identity multiple nicks

Adlai: let's take a step back. the wot should be about who trusts whom, and trust is verified on the basis of signatures. i see no reason why node identity should be based on anything other than signing keys. ☟︎

mike_c: i thought fingerprint would/should be unique

Adlai: mike_c: i'd rephrase that as "is it kosher to associate a single wot node with multiple nicks" ie ratings to nicks sharing a gpg key should apply to both equally

BingoBoingo: And of all of the software I've set up on the OpenBSD install here fucking emacs is the only one that throws messages at the terminal when I invoke it because DBUS is dead.
