ben_vulpes: 1. Cut a build
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes mod6 what do you two figure is a realistic timeline for "bitcoind version that doesn't allocate memory without checks and so doesn't crash in THAT particular way" ? << this actually raises the all-important question of priority list
asciilifeform: the photo mats randomly posted today is, incidentally, a picturesque metaphor for what we're doing.
asciilifeform: then, if they find a pancake, there is no question of 'whodunit'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: referring to a tradition in certain armies where men are expected to wrap own parachute
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you *built* a chute?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and one of the folks here (not guaranteed that it'll be me) writes a spiffy 'ab initio' bitcoind
asciilifeform: i will admit that, with regards to the reference version (let's call it 'traditional') i am especially interested in a tandem-operable variant
asciilifeform: but this wasn't a secret, was it
ben_vulpes: k well write a bitcoind then shiva
ben_vulpes: it's a subtle rapier, not a thing for use in anger.
asciilifeform: the result ought to be a self-contained bag of shit that, when executed on any reasonable unix, eventually churns out a set of images suitable for flashing to a 'pogo'.
asciilifeform: my notion, as of a month plus ago, was to bake the entire orchestra into a buildroot
mod6: <+asciilifeform> and i think mod6 had a bunch << naw, don't even own one yet.
nubbins`: anyone here have a lead on custom injection-molded plastics?
asciilifeform: now result might be a heap of slag where the logo was
asciilifeform: nothing a 40w laser can't fix
nubbins`: you could laser a byline or smth tho
BingoBoingo: Does anyone have a python script for computing the odds of adult male of supplied height and weight versus (Y) pack of coyotes if armed with a tack hammer?
asciilifeform: nubbins` do you think you could do a print of some kind over the lid?
asciilifeform: having finally booted a reasonable linux
ben_vulpes: that's a lot of dust...
asciilifeform: and i think mod6 had a bunch
ben_vulpes: a cm?!
asciilifeform: lol i cleaned a cm of dust off my pogo today.
nubbins`: instead you need a toothpick
asciilifeform: thought yours might have had a button under the lamp
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall how it has a gigantic seedlist consisting of mostly corpses, compiled in ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another ingredient, since you were making a list, is the seed list
asciilifeform: nubbins`: would you care to post a photo of the unit ?
nubbins`: but it's at least a real button
asciilifeform: also whoever it was who marvelled (l0l) at pogo being a 32bit arm - 64bit is lunacy on a box with 128m of ram and no swap
nubbins`: have the eject button send us a message on irc or something
asciilifeform: that is, which detects 1) have we a disk plugged in? 2) if so, has it a blockchain? 3) if plugged in, no blockchain - format disk
mircea_popescu: (in the sense of having a miserable memory leaking low cost node)
mircea_popescu looks for a virgin or 40
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: today by popular demand i went on a little deathmarch and got a source-built traditional linux going on it.
mircea_popescu: so this is a sheevaplug brew of what, netbsd ?
asciilifeform: tomorrow evening i'll 1) flash in the rootfs to get something like a working box
asciilifeform: guess what, i built a kernel
asciilifeform: nubbins`: he has a patch.
BingoBoingo: JetA puts out fires pretty well though provided you are flicking a cigarette butt into a bucket of JetA most of the time
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
asciilifeform: but it means that there is no way to replicate the kernel build short of catching the perpetrator and slowly roasting him over a fire
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> nubbins`: one's a phantom limb, i think << Phantom limbs got me much less excited about the latest Sun hardware I'd been investigating when the problem of keeping a post 2016 blockchain would have been a big challenge. (IDE limited to sub 127 GB, USB 1.1, and Firewire ports unsupported in OS of choice which means gambling on PCI USB 2.0 card working for moar storage)
nubbins`: or a sign nobody's been that poor before
nubbins`: a
asciilifeform: nubbins`: one's a phantom limb, i think
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is the -only- thing i was able to build from source and actually get a shell on
mod6: it seems a bit silly to post a patch also back to the original portatronic version for this. anyone have any objections if i just publish a full copy of the 32bit auto.sh and a patch of auto.sh to the previous version (v0.0.5 included in the -RELEASE) ?
decimation: have none of it. ... Because he wanted to be known as the man who overthrew the gold standard and replaced it with a new, rational, managed international monetary system. So he very much had his own personal legacy at heart here. <http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/benn_steil_on_t.html
decimation: And in fact there was a rear-guard action, launched in May of 1944, just before the Bretton Woods Conference, by a group of influential New York bankers, who very much hated the Bretton Woods agenda. They offered to lend Britain at least $3 billion dollars after the War, in return for which Britain would walk away from the Bretton Woods Conference. Clarke and others in the British Treasury wanted to pursue this idea. But Keynes would
mircea_popescu: "A new system of economic relations was brought into being, based on money that could be generated at will, in the form of debt" << this is EXACTLY unrelated to capitalism.
mircea_popescu: the centralised state can only be a centralised state after all.
mircea_popescu: sort of a rehash of napoleonic conflicts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with using a language is that you're stuck using it according to itself tho. this is like, orlov horribly mauled a teenaged girl and you're like "well clearly the bear thought her cunt's salmon."
mircea_popescu: but basically, feudalism and metalwork almost look as a zero sum game : as the latter develops the former fades
decimation: The German titles of Landgraf, Markgraf, and Pfalzgraf bei Rhein are in the same class of ranks as Herzog ("duke") and above the rank of a Graf ("count").
mircea_popescu: anyway. the peak of feudalism is around the peak of things like the tournoi as a public sport.
mircea_popescu: "about half the power a count used to have back when the counts of belgium dominated france, for to protect the country borders"
mircea_popescu: decimation landgraf aka margrave aka march lord is a post-feudalist construct
mircea_popescu: it may be a path to "respek" an autoritah
mircea_popescu: "here's what i remember of this bad translation of a phenomena by some people who didn't live it, and who are so far from me culturally i in turn have no idea. let's make an infographic and educate reddit."
mircea_popescu: grof ? that's a hungarian/polish count.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a count
mircea_popescu: marsh lord, what is known as marquis, actually outranked counts at court, chiefly because being the lord of a marsh he had much more legal power than the head of settled land
mircea_popescu: dukes did not by and large exist, unless you mean dux, which was a leader of fucking cataphracts
mircea_popescu: "outranks" is a purely courtly consideration
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's using a ru dictionary, betcah
mircea_popescu: find a fucking count that was allegiant to a duke in the entire history of feudalism.
asciilifeform: they are in violation of gpl and, if anyone were actually concerned with this, would be made to swallow a hammer or whatever it is that is supposed to happen to such hooligans
mod6: it's 1 change to the auto.sh file, & have to have the 3 vars at the top set correctly. I'll post a copy of this auto.sh, a diff to the 64 bit version and a diff to the original portatronic version yet tonight.
mircea_popescu: <brendafdez> No bitcoin payoutsa, however << a) nothing surprising about it and b) everyone wants to get as many btc as humanly possible before having to admit it.
asciilifeform: 'This might be unduly harsh, but if Atomwise can do what they say, why are they on Ycombinator? Pull up to a big pharma, ask for some minimally proprietary data, and let the computers go to work. It'd be like printing winning lottery tickets.'
BingoBoingo: Science isn't a big ycombinator fan either http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2015/03/24/a_couple_of_ycombinators_startups.php
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
funkenstein_: anybody give me a book review? http://www.roadtoroota.com/public/1530.cfm

assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 06:08:33; ben_vulpes: <decimation> I just thought of a brilliant anti-'area denial' (to usg term) weapon system. imagine a small turboprop uav ... that can drop its wings and turn into kerosene rocket << why bother with expensive turbomachinery? just use solid propellants... ☟︎
decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=23-03-2015#1064748 < yeah, this might make more sense - a conventional drone with missile. the important point is that these would be loitering at random radii and altitudes, making apriori 'air defense' clearance difficult ☝︎
assbot: A little bit of Bitcoin history pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1xfqLUU )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://trilema.com/2014/a-little-bit-of-bitcoin-history/
decimation: I've been thinking about building a 'geiger counter' rng like herr walker's
asciilifeform: decimation: it's a 100% analogue device, actually
asciilifeform: getting scientists to donate to a honor-based system rather than to a socialism-based system will utterly restructure society << funnily orlov is 100% with this program, in his own peculiar way
asciilifeform: but then again it is rather like saying that sewer rats could read reddit (yes, the occasional iPnohe falls into a street drain.)
asciilifeform: would not this problem be adequately solved with a huge slab of steel / al << i did say.
assbot: 1 results for 'canned air' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=canned+air

pete_dushenski: "Get ready to ride in style Singapore, we’ve added supercars to the Uber platform. Starting this Saturday, March 21st, you will be able to request a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or Maserati GranTurismo Coupe to come pick you up." << yew moves out, uber moves in.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:56:10; asciilifeform: reminds me of how when clinton was half-heartedly prosecuting microshit for antitrust violations, some 'think tank' (cato? i forget) had a 'microsoft defense fund' that the public was invited to contribute to !
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1067693 "You're not seeing "a kid" that "made" "X money" with "a story". You're seeing an economic process. It's an ad. It converts to some degree, like any ad."
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2015#1067669 << quite. except, there's a difference between understanding and controlling.

mircea_popescu: Pedalavo come se fuggissi, e in realtà fuggivo. Da lei, da quelle emozioni, dai sogni, dai ricordi, da tutto e pensavo che dovevo dimenticare. Ero certo che sarei riuscito a dimenticare, ma oggi che sono vecchio, che ho consumato banalmente la vita, che ho conosciuto tante donne che mi hanno detto: “Ricordati di me” e io le ho scordate tutte, ancora oggi e’ lei l’unica che non ho mai dimenticato. Malena!
