a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 05:21 mod6: this is actually using karatsuba, haven't even integrated the new comba code yet.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682308 << comba is an O(N^2) multer. it beats the classical one simply because it doesn't need a scratch buffer of length N. it goes as the base case in karatsuba, not instead of it ☝︎

This means that any bitcoins you receive after that time may later disappear from your wallet or be a type of bitcoin that other people will not accept as payment." << lol

BingoBoingo: But how much distress is this causing compared to the murder bubble?
mircea_popescu: incidentally my greatest health problem atm is hooker-acquired strep throat. bubble long gone, lost a little weight and well... that was it.
BingoBoingo: Well, when your greatest health problem is a bubble, you forget the fat brained dun remember stuff.
mircea_popescu: anyway, bitcoin.org straifght to /dev/null. utter scamsite.
mircea_popescu: lol either that or karpeles.
BingoBoingo: Well, to be fair they burned most of their other names. This is just Luke-jr's turn
mircea_popescu: it's time for random shitstain to angle towards unwarranted relevancy 24/7 over there, innit
BingoBoingo: Why not, it's time to think outside the blocks http://epmonthly.com/article/think-outside-blocks-creative-uses-lidocaine/
BingoBoingo: So it may be time to load jerry cans onto the roflcopter
BingoBoingo: Well, this is a most idiotic of forks, use luke-jr UASF client, and you fork onto luke-jrXT chain at X date with no miners required
mircea_popescu: let me rephrase that in the form of a question. who wants to buy / sell some bitcoin on Aug 1st ?
mircea_popescu: who wants to buy / sell some bitcoin on Aug 01 at 0 "coordinated universal time" whatever the shit that means.
mircea_popescu: teh usg is about as predictable as shit in the road.
mircea_popescu: anyway, can't do anything else, try and FUD it.
BingoBoingo: "At Tue Aug 01 2017 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time), Bitcoin confirmation scores may become unreliable for an unknown length of time.

mircea_popescu: so then
mod6: yah, the big victory, at least for me, is figuring out how to use the thing.
mircea_popescu: "from scratch to 36d (0x24)". by mod6.
mod6: this is actually using karatsuba, haven't even integrated the new comba code yet. ☟︎
mod6: well, might be a bit premature, but will refine it a bit and get something out there.
mod6: sure, will throw something out there; maybe by the end of the weekend.
mod6: took me quite a while to gain the knowledge of how to write a test driver that creates the ffa generic package and the necessary compoents to make that possible. ☟︎
mod6: just took a step into a much larger world here
BingoBoingo never really drank for the taste
mircea_popescu: it is the standard all other brews measure up (or more often, down) to
asciilifeform much liked mircea_popescu tzuica from c2
mircea_popescu: first country i didn't miss tzuica.
mircea_popescu: it is SUPERB tho.
mircea_popescu: it's not far off, this stuff's closer to beer. 34% or some shit
mod6: never leave home without two
mircea_popescu: (and no, the driver didn't get any. i drink responsibly.)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i had an open rum bottle in the fucking back seat tho! << Bless federalism. That's some sort of attempted murder in Illinois, but "Cool, have fun kids" in Missouri
mircea_popescu: (not making this shit up)
hanbot: "what seems to be the officer, problem?"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i never grasped the reason for this << Sloth
mod6: yeah, here people like freak, get out of the car, get tazed/shot, etc.
mircea_popescu: i had an open rum bottle in the fucking back seat tho!
hanbot: mircea_popescu also helps that you're able to talk to cops. most people do some combo of flipping out n' whining
mircea_popescu: they weren't there on the way back, either. because a truck had crashed into a mini
mod6: ah, well at least you didn't get taxed extra.
mircea_popescu: the guy was just liek... "well, the fine's $120 ; carry on but get it done will ye"
mircea_popescu: (and i dun blame them for pushing the issue -- i have seen more cars dead on roadside here, incl IN TOWN than i had previously in my entire life.)
mod6: that's kinda interesting, up here you get ticked for anything obstructing your view in the winshield. people still hang all sorts of shit off the rearview anyway, such as, inexplicable dice. or whatever.
mircea_popescu: they have some laser reader thing i think
mod6: was it the front windshield?
BingoBoingo: Sounds like a shit test
mircea_popescu: whole thing that threw me is that the shop gives you a sticker, but you need A DIFFERENT one.
mircea_popescu: and he's like "very good that you fixed your car, but you hafta actually get it inspected. there's a special inspection orrifice"
mircea_popescu: so i explain to him that looky, i just bought it, i had it redone, new brakes, shocks, everything in there. two weeks ago.
mircea_popescu: policeman's like "well yeah, but your technical revision thingee's not on the windshield"
mircea_popescu: guy goes through dirver girl's papers, then asks for car papers. i'm liek, you don't need car papers in cr dood, sez my lawyer
mircea_popescu: speaking of freeways, mp on freeway today, gets pulled over.
asciilifeform: lol right where petrol tank
mod6: so he actually ignored this for a number of moments until the smoke was filling the car.
mod6: he said, "when i looked in the rearview mirror, i saw flames, and my brain tried to tell me that i was imagining the flames."
mircea_popescu: sounds like my ancient "cars --- through the sewage pipes" dream is being realised. from the inside,
mod6: another friend of mine had so many mc'ds sacks in the back, when he threw out a cig it came back in the window and started a fire in the back seat. on the freeway of course.
mod6: lol. it's as if you should need to swim through garbage to get to your seat/belt.
asciilifeform: and they marveled,
mod6: in 1994 i worked at this gas station, and this dude who used to come in and get gas had his ENTIRE car filled with empty cig packs.
asciilifeform: i never grasped the reason for this
mod6: eitherway, i had a good laugh out of this tale, as i can picture this as indeed, many people fill their cars with trash.
asciilifeform: this sounds quite like the 'kpss party membership booklet stopped bullet' nonsenses
mircea_popescu: has all the markings of urban legend dunnit
mod6: apparently, all the trash apparently saved him from getting somehow crushed or whatnot.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> motorized dumpster! << so recently i was told a story about how this guy in ohio borrowed this car that was a dumpster on wheels -- i'll spare you all the details, but the long of the short of it is; this guy's life was saved when he was t-boned by a dumptruck on the freeway because of all the garbage in the car.
asciilifeform: save, imagine, for the... fish
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: picture, when i go fishing i dun even eat the worms along the way
mod6: BingoBoingo: lol. priorities. people need to feel like "they can be a winner too!"
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the underworld works, yo.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> apparently. although, i recently read that illinois just had to shut down their lotto service ... and powerball pulled out of there? << It's back now. The General Assembly had to suck a lot of other state's dicks, but it's back
mircea_popescu: if alf had a rock of crack he'd prolly go around with it luring crackwhores rather than smoking it all right then and there also.
mod6: not 100% sure if that was true or not though.
asciilifeform: wats the point of blowing its wad on the spot.
mircea_popescu: thyey got their priorities right
mod6: apparently. although, i recently read that illinois just had to shut down their lotto service ... and powerball pulled out of there?
BingoBoingo: Illinois apparently went back to paying lottery, giving up on paying anything else
asciilifeform: i thought the whole point of lotto is to walk around with the 'schrodinger' ticker, picture bathtubs of money etc
mircea_popescu: do the various "states" / scams still actually pay anything on those ?
mod6: WHILE YOU WAIT BEHIND THEM!
mod6: the worst part about the lotto tickets people, is they buy them, then more often than not (it seems like), insist on scratching them off right there and then. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <mod6> don't get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets. << BUT ELLIOT!!!
asciilifeform: why not sell the auto then. think how much tobacco it'd buy
mod6: don't get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets.
mod6: cigs, gotta have those. NO MATTER WHAT.
asciilifeform: mod6: why to do this?!
mod6: BingoBoingo makes a good point. even the motorcycles get more.
mircea_popescu: "today, we're only changing the top can of oil"
