mircea_popescu: making the code carved in stone is imo a bad move.
mircea_popescu: no. because you don't have a fab.
mircea_popescu: you may have to change it in a warzone.
asciilifeform: ... a device.
asciilifeform has been thinking about this for a long time.
mircea_popescu: trinque you could make it a kernel module
trinque: is there some way to bolt a program directly to a kernel?
mircea_popescu: wait, ada to compile a c environment ?!
mircea_popescu: so then not THAT big of a deal
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't a particularly great substitute for a unix, unfortunately
mircea_popescu: it should compile a pogo bitcoind
mircea_popescu: trinque / ben_vulpes hack a uboot module while at it!
asciilifeform: a rebuild is about 6 min. on my box.
asciilifeform: one little warning - 'buildroot' is dumb as a rock, you will have to 'make clean all' just about every time
asciilifeform: you will get a kernel image (also contains rootfs)
mircea_popescu: anyone know like a nude housekeeper service in dc or something ?
asciilifeform: should take about 20 min. on a typical box, to build the WHOLE ORCHESTRA
decimation: the best approximation one can get as a civilian is to purchase FCC "class B" devices
decimation: asciilifeform: re: rf quiet pc < the original IBM AT came in a heavy metal case, fully shielded
mircea_popescu: hence a very cold reception to much younger men's ideas about "couldn't abstain"
mircea_popescu: men reach a certain age where the only way they're fucking anything is if that anything sucks them off first.
asciilifeform: someone, iirc al schwartz, described his sister as 'could suckstart a harley'
trinque: I heard lockheed martin is going to build the enterprise with a fusion reactor
asciilifeform: so having a position on the matter feels odd
mircea_popescu: there's a reason that story of mine is set at a feast.
ben_vulpes: jets that fly like shitty helicopters and cost a bezzilion?
asciilifeform read that earlier today, but had a mindfuck and thought it was about perkin elmer
ben_vulpes: i had a massive change of heart at lunch today
cazalla: while i await danielpbarron's response, anyone want to suggest why the pogo flashes green after following his guide after a reboot?
trinque: an ass hair, the same from a perspective
nubbins`: a shartup :0
nubbins`: in fairness, the work behind presenting you a bash prompt is absurdly complex 8)
trinque: I used it long ago working on a parental controls thing at a shartup
nubbins`: tbh a fair percentage of my programming knowledge comes from hunting down stupid compile errors
nubbins`: "By default this override file is named local.mk and located in the top directory of the Buildroot source tree, but a different location can be specified through the BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE configuration option."
trinque: ahaha, asciilifeform is a bond villain
asciilifeform: as in, there's a piraña pit trap door
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the notion one even gets a choice in that matter is pernicious.
mircea_popescu: lmao! most expensive mit in the world. also only place in the world where mit grads can not use a battery to light a bulb.
mircea_popescu: What does that mean for U.S. employers hiring people born since 1980? Goodman notes that hiring managers shouldn’t overestimate the practical value of a four-year degree. True, U.S. Millennials with college credentials did score higher on the PIAAC than Americans with only a high school diploma (albeit less well than college grads in most other countries).
mircea_popescu: like a third ?
trinque: I'm trying to find a figure on the number of USAians on psychiatric meds
mircea_popescu: the answer will be a uniform, resounding "because you're fucking stupid"
funkenstein_: ETS got a shock <-- the funny bit
mircea_popescu: When the results were analyzed by age group and nationality, ETS got a shock. It turns out, says a new report, that Millennials in the U.S. fall short when it comes to the skills employers want most: literacy (including the ability to follow simple instructions), practical math, and — hold on to your hat — a category called “problem-solving in technology-rich environments.”
asciilifeform: did not occur to me to take a photo
asciilifeform: it's a 'hitachi'
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in a mexican jail, http://41.media.tumblr.com/aba956207a733186c3f6b54d0b45de34/tumblr_mjeeokHoua1s78jo7o1_1280.jpg
ben_vulpes: for a btc host, not a bad idea. low cost.
ben_vulpes: the honor of a few at the top. maybe. if they get out and come here.
mircea_popescu: "a #3 chisel"
mircea_popescu: TomServo incidentally, they being your machines, you can take a hammer at parts.
mircea_popescu: "HP iLO functions out-of-the-box without additional software installation regardless of the servers' state of operation giving you complete access to your server from any location via a web browser or the iLO Mobile App"
mircea_popescu: b-a sourced host, this should be interesting.
TomServo: I'm interested in the prospect in general.. the hardware availablity just being a perk. I was curious if there was legitmate interest in this hardware specifically.
trinque: ben_vulpes: "monkey humping a football" << couldn't be a more apt description of the process I used to get crossdev working with auto.sh
mats: i wouldn't mind lending a hand if you're looking for help
trinque: I've got it cross-compiling nicely from a gentoo host, currently munching through boost
trinque: asciilifeform: any opposition to me adding a parameter for a few predefined architectures in auto.sh?
mircea_popescu: but they use a shitty signature shceme and wtf, reference bitcoin block hashes already
jurov: TomServo: I want to do hosting too, but wanted a partner
mircea_popescu: well, it's tenable if you're looking to pick a fight.
mircea_popescu: it'll be a tough walk tho.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: It's an option I suppose.. but I was thinking my hands of the hardware would be a big piece of what I'm selling.
mircea_popescu: TomServo colocation is a service, ship them to fucking malysia if you care.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: heh, I'm for it! I'm honestly trying consider it here... though I feel I might need a financial attorney to sort everything out given my locale.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I'd imagine being usian based would be a problem, tho?
mircea_popescu: (literally that means "unbounded talent", but in that context talent would strictly denote a whore's talent, and it is only used ironically. so it's an apt caption for a teenager derping with a faux cock)
mircea_popescu: nubbins` in romanian, it's a thing.
nubbins`: algorithm: "oh, here's a dude blowing a big hair-icicle. this works."
TomServo: And could be inspired to seek out colo pricing.. would this be of interest as a starting point?
mircea_popescu: so start a dc.
TomServo: Say a guy had a nearly a racks worth a few generations old HP gear his workplace was going to get rid of.. and his own private stash of similiar era network gear.
mircea_popescu: TomServo you couldn't have missed it in the logs ? we want a bitcoin hosting corp.
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 16:44:11; mircea_popescu: Chillum completely unrelated : do you have any fucking idea how desired a bitcoin host is here ?
TomServo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1077008 << I'm curious to flesh this out a bit. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which is very instructive, because it's gypsytalk for "a lot of money". which is the problem of being a gypsy : very good social, very poor maths, failure to thrive in the world.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nothing's anything and if you have a business obama made that business
nubbins`: what next, statistics is not a mathematical construct?
mircea_popescu: eh, he has a skeleton of good points, on which he plants the usual bs.
nubbins`: money is not a mathematical construct?
mircea_popescu: yes derps, "money" as in usd is a social construct. money as in bitcoin is not a social construct.
mircea_popescu: lol @hearn : "So: money is not a mathematical construct. It’s a social construct. The fact that Bitcoin uses some fairly basic maths to coordinate social decisions over the internet doesn’t change that."
jurov: better comparison would be a car that can go for years without service break
mircea_popescu: "dude you threw the rock like a girl"
mircea_popescu: sort-of like seeing footballers trying to reason about medicine. that's what this entire "buncha derpy kids + some usg moles debating bitcoin" looks to me : like a bunch of nfl picks got parachuted in senegal, and are now trying to get themselves cured of tb
nubbins`: man on the street using special drawing rights to purchase a coffee
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> lol at these kids. vandalism, racism, chauvinism et all. the bad words of a new generation. <<< hurtyfeelism
mircea_popescu: for the record : a node can do this currently, if a node feels like doing this currently. whether we like it or not is immaterial, really. some miners tried it historically, but it's generally speaking dumb an' so it never caught on.
mircea_popescu: "It’s absolutely essential for buying stuff in shops. A currency that can’t be used to buy a newspaper on the street is not going to be seen as a real currency by the man on that street." << again and again with this nonsense. what the "man on the street" sees or doesn't see, accepts or hates, whatever the fuck is entirely unimportant.
mircea_popescu: lol at these kids. vandalism, racism, chauvinism et all. the bad words of a new generation.
nubbins`: MFW an avr butterfly costs more than a SATA pogo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a danke
jurov: what about a contest - best memepic made out of it?
assbot: 'Iron Sky 2': Nazis, lizard people and Hitler on a T.rex - CNET ... ( http://bit.ly/1NprR4k )
jurov: http://www.cnet.com/news/iron-sky-2-nazis-lizard-people-and-hitler-on-a-t-rex/ googled too lizard hitler and... we gotta use this pic sometime
nubbins`: anyway long+short we'll never get a deal like the pogos until, well, the next pogo-like thing comes along
nubbins`: dude it has a piezo speaker and a pin for your lapel, what more do you want?
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> anyone know a fast and painless way to make subtitles for a youtube ? <<< http://captiongenerator.com/
ben_vulpes: trinque: a hack that i've seen to work is building for arch in a docker container
