undata: thestringpuller: I watched that one :)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know. I just imagine cinematic you has one as well.
cazalla: ya know, over the past month i've been reading articles, there has been many fluff pieces that keep pushing this idea that bitcoin the technology is what is valuable and not the "currency", andreas kick this shit off with "blockchain technology" and now everyone is repeating this shit
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps" << I imagine this scene happening with alf in a tent. No context is given for the tent until he gets up to take a shit and the view sees the tend is in an otherwise pedestrian living room and emblazoned with the messa
undata: I watched a video earlier of one of the younger Bushes, who's now Texas Land Commissioner
undata: mircea_popescu: I wish someone would dig her a hole so she could fill it back in again.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps"
asciilifeform: nah it's more a case of 'i'm a titled noble with certificate of anal virginity from the crown and nobody should criticize me'
mircea_popescu: direct application of "i have tried and therefore nobody should criticize me"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i just love how the krugman shitgnomes prattle on about the need for physical 'use-value' in currencies and then go on to bid on apple-1 pcbs and jackson pollack paintings << they are stupid and how dare you demand they be consistent!
asciilifeform: he just wanted to sleep ad libitum, i suspect.
asciilifeform: the sad thing is, i'm still fairly certain that yudkowsky didn't want to be a stooge.
BingoBoingo: Working through logs, but belt fed mod may have also been something I mentioned in the past.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: could've sworn BingoBoingo discussed this. << Not sure if I've discussed the shotglass as pieces variant in chan, but am familiar with it.
assbot: Download The Shield and the Sword / Shchit i mech / (1968) 2 x DVD9 | movie world
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: http://movieworld.ws/the-shield-and-the-sword-shchit-i-mech-shhit-i-mech-1968-2-x-dvd9
ben_vulpes: aight well fiat corp requires oiling before shuddering into motion in the morn. i'll continue this with anyone interested at a later point.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: but how theoretically would i know what to merge?
ben_vulpes: i've been staring at it and it's not unintelligble -- horrible, but not unintelligible -- but given things like obfuscated c competition i don't think i'm actually a good technical choice for the role
ben_vulpes: so i begin to wonder if i'm at all a good person to handle merges, given my lack of experience with cpp
asciilifeform: my 'i will die by this' sig is reserved exclusively for what i personally crapped out and ruminated over.
mircea_popescu: and i want the record of accidental "dropped on my toe" events recorder permanently.
mircea_popescu: i would like the difference between "dropped plate on my toe" and "fell on naked woman holding her heels while naked" to be obvious to the naked eye
asciilifeform: (and, for the record, when i suggested to ben_vulpes that he did not need to live fire, it was because it was a removal of ifdefs that were switched off, which, if done correctly, would yield a bitwise-identical binary.)
mircea_popescu: the thing i asked for is to sign on READ lines.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: i believe this excises all upnp mentions. my build hops on the network and downloads blocks. <<< yay wd.
asciilifeform: anyway, as far as i understand, the whole point of having actual arses in the driver's chair (ben_vulpes? mod6?) here is to merge patches and maintain the 'True chain'
ben_vulpes: no stack to manage in that case; i'd prefer it if there are no obvious reasons to not.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, fyi the link to the slides at http://www.di.ens.fr/~pnguyen/pub_BoJoNg00.htm i dead, such a shame
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have no idea, it could be done that way too
punkman: jurov, I manually entered 0xfff...f at some point, although address generation library would have caught it
mircea_popescu: o look, there's a M48. i had no idea.
mircea_popescu: oh i see, just the confusion tip is it.
mircea_popescu: stop trying to confuse me just because i have nfi of anything!
asciilifeform: as i said, let's grunt out what happens if composite.
mircea_popescu: i guess it can't be because -1
mircea_popescu: or whatever was it. i intend to hold usg at his word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 65537 is not a mersenne prime either. what did i step into ?
mircea_popescu: yeah google, always put wikipedia the fucking first line, because i'm sure that's what the "algorithm" says.
jurov: i they approve the patch
mircea_popescu: jurov oh yeah, i wasn't commenting on your implementation, i was just bitching at the stars.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't talking about the cardano! i was talking about the new pgp
mircea_popescu: i guess he delivers a copy of the above ?
jurov: i can maintain virtual balances on coinbr just for him
mircea_popescu: i feel so bad forcing inconvenient change upon random people.
asciilifeform: don't misunderstand, i like the 'fixed fields' idea, but am also aware that shitgnome excretions in a hundred places in commonplace toolchains will silently screw with it.
mircea_popescu: because i can't read that.
mircea_popescu: shit son. if only i knew about this, we could have made diff design changes on bitcoin core.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I just found that line to fix the issue, but thank you
Apocalyptic: which is what gpg produces by default I guess
Apocalyptic: by the way are SHA1 gpg-signed messages considered read ? I read somewhere one might rather use sha256 or higher, don't know if there's any merit to that claim
mircea_popescu: bounce because i can.
mircea_popescu: you know, thinking about this, i think i actyally want pgp reimplemented. usgavin's speshul maths about how things improve make me realise that having a pure rsa based code rather than the current encode a symmetric chypher method is perhaps feasible.
asciilifeform: if i knew - we'd have it.
ben_vulpes: i was just wondering about that!
hanbot: mircea_popescu i meant of the motorized variety
mircea_popescu: hanbot: haha! where are the burning man btc gizmos anyway, i want a bitonkadonk << wait, i thought you... HAD ONE
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the primary reason i suggested zapping the toy os ports
mircea_popescu: *: asciilifeform can't really picture woman playing this game << dude you were in a different ukraine or what ? i have yet to meet a uk chick that doesn't drink.
decimation: I've always imagined what would happen if I were marooned in pre-history with a few choice textbooks ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i am not particularly against the past.
asciilifeform: though i'd succumb to the temptation of popping in to visit mr. tesla, possibly
mircea_popescu: i think i'd mostly document whore heraldry.
mircea_popescu: well yeah but i mean in terms of use.
mircea_popescu: i personally dun see it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd rate him and so there we go.
Duffer1: who volunteered to contribute to the piggy ? >> do i get nifty unique reddit flair for donating?
mod6: i wish
mod6: yeah, i think it was decided that we'd put that in a seperate document.
jurov: i think the request was to prevent later posting of modified (and newly signed) patches by someone
asciilifeform: i'd say it would be wise to have the 'who/what' cemented in some form.
jurov: and i don't see a value iin redoing the browsable archives that mailman generates
mircea_popescu: i wonder how this'd be best approached.
jurov: i'd prefer to get real email
punkman: can I still be secret agent
mircea_popescu: punkman if you want a dyi mirror, i can give you a cpanel ?
punkman: or maybe I just make an rss feed, possibly filtered by keyid
punkman: anyone wants to keep a mirror, I'll make the thing push bundles to you
punkman: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MU2TEWPG
asciilifeform: i think BingoBoingo linked to one vendor recently.
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> kakobrekla: numpad forever. < i own both, use 'castrato'.
asciilifeform: i own such a mouse, came with a prehistoric 'sun pizza box.' they have very little in common with modern optical mice - simply a pair of photodiodes and matching emitters
punkman: I'd also like a mouse with less edges and crevices that accumulate gunk
punkman: asciilifeform: tried dishwasher once, thing never worked again, but yeah I've heard it's usually ok
ben_vulpes: i've a question about mining, for anyone who knows.
asciilifeform: i'll guess that he started with a clean satoshi-era snapshot - brought up to compatibility with extant network
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as it is, i venture to guess that it's been done, so far, only by folks who live and die by the result, and aren't terribly eager to share live 'weaponized' code (people such as mircea)
punkman: I want something like http://www.wetkeys.com/Silver-Storm-Washable-Medical-Grade-Keyboard-p/stk503.htm but less shitty
kakobrekla: i suspekt even part of satoshis btc is buried
asciilifeform: i dare to hypothesise an inevitable, 'zoological' enmity between folks who own, e.g., picasso canvas, (and understand why they own it!) - and bitcoin.
undata: I was going to say wannabe FDR in a skirt, but I like 'clitler'
asciilifeform: i did specify that the pedigreed canvases and pcbs signed by steve jobs are analogous to bitcoin, rather than, say, gold - because, on account of gold being to some degree accessible to plebes, elaborate measures are taken to depress its price - no such equivalent for the picassos.
asciilifeform: i just love how the krugman shitgnomes prattle on about the need for physical 'use-value' in currencies and then go on to bid on apple-1 pcbs and jackson pollack paintings
asciilifeform: jurov: perhaps i should not have said 'mining' specifically. idea here is that once the buggers give up trying to destroy bitcoin, they will transition to employing any and all tools at their disposal - for robbery.
jurov: something like that may pass after well done scare of "child raping AI" but I don't see how it can be enforced in practice
jurov: what i wanted to say, mining race isn't the most dangerous avenue of attack
jurov: i can't parse that
asciilifeform: was, as i understand, the hypothesis
kakobrekla: asciilifeform> kakobrekla: i linked this here a day or so ago < ah, i guess i have achieved absolute redundancy.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i linked this here a day or so ago
