a111: Logged on 2017-01-12 23:25 mircea_popescu: btw ben_vulpes : you might consider making yourself a process to stand up vps instances of listener nodes to spray out at you new blocks as they hear them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski posted link to $10k x86 lappy. and asciilifeform remarked that it is similar box to what he built for nowhere close to 10k usd.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al : http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function/#comment-121047
phf: mircea_popescu: that'll require translation
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: one more for your list :) http://trilema.com/2012/succesiunea-civilizatiilor-in-concretetea-lor-materiala/
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: neat idea
a111: Logged on 2016-09-29 18:50 mircea_popescu: whaack it is entirely possible that your node is stuck on validating that block because of lack of ram, yes.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 14:41 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599676 << for the record, there isn't a case in history YET where schelling point was anything than against complexity.
asciilifeform: (to use the nomenclature in mircea_popescu's piece strictly)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't have a proggy written, but the general idea is not monumentally arcane -- you simply work backwards
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'figthing machines'
asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu while sleeping i had a thought re http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function and my earlier attempt thereof likewise : that the thing may not in fact be ~collision-resistant~ (it may not be so difficult to take an arbitrary desired output and find a tape that hashes to it.)
davout: mircea_popescu: yea, i guess the question is where you stop. at which point do you decide that you're going to buy these apples instead of growing them, because ultimately you want an apple pie
davout: mircea_popescu: i see the point in general, but i'm not sure i'd take it as far as considering some additional string primitives as being evil
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu nails it.
davout: mircea_popescu: #chainstate ref plox?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is in fact useful to remember that the 'convenience' of cstring is == to the 'convenience' of shitting on the floor where you stand
davout: mircea_popescu: i'm afraid i don't see that particular ambiguity
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 15:10 mircea_popescu: this is how a mother acts, and why kids have not much business with her past the age of about 10 or so, depending how retarded they are.
davout: after reading #chainstate my conclusion is that mircea_popescu would enjoy ruby very much!
davout: not like i got on my chair, and slowly poured the whole contents of the wine bottle on mircea_popescu's head while everyone was watching in horror :D
davout: mircea_popescu: i didn't "pour a bottle on your head", i accidentally'd a wine ~glass~, at least that's what i remember!
asciilifeform: ask mircea_popescu where he gets stinkpad batteries.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: briefly revisiting the ablative microtome thing: betcha you could read the cross-section via purely electrical means. (there are four substances: n-doped si, p-doped si, isolator si, and metal. these are readily distinguishable without resorting to fancy optics, electron beam, or anything of the kind, just need sliding probe)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: laser in vacuum is pretty good microtome.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mega-story btw
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 00:48 mircea_popescu: trinque how easy would it be to make the !!up for noobs 30 minutes or 60 lines, whichever comes first ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: were http://trilema.com/2010/femeia-nesuferita/ or http://trilema.com/2011/voi-ce-ati-facut-in-viata-asta-ba/ ever translated ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 14:15 mircea_popescu: the reason playing loose works in poker is the same reason you can keep a camp dormful of teenage girls awake until 6am by hiding a tape with giggles on it that plays every 5 to 10 minutes
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 04:54 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok this http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2016-12-29 list of blocks like that is pretty fucking great.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: musta been one of those new-fangled volvos/ford/hondas/mercs that stops for you. lucky you. a family friend's grandson wasn't so lucky when he was backed over and killed by... his own grandfather. couple years ago now.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you could even write that yourself
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: surely you don't mean have its own key?

aquentson: you might be king maker mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 15:06 mircea_popescu: and before anyone asks : the advantage of this is that this solution scales. ACTUALLY scales. specifically, if at any point in his own time and for any reason in ~his own domain~ taleb wants to get more control, he can. he actually can. you explain to him, when he asks, HOW to be more in control of his mp-wp install. in terms of configuring the php script, or in terms of configuring the apache server, or in terms of configuri

a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 01:44 mircea_popescu: ~if i am~ a drug dealer and i burn down your house, you'll what ? file a police report ? go on the local news network with a teary eyed "no one could have predicted that if i get pissy with people who break the law for a living i might end up with a burned down house" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: evidently d00d did business in usa, and set foot there, and now will never leave. 'roach motel.'

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: completely.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ftr grand tour has budget of 160mn british pounds for 36 episodes
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the truly sad thing about the show is that they have the budget to hoon in style but choose instead retarded fucking tricks
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: tw is at least going out with a party.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can initiate with hammer. we had thread.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's not there. you can trivially ~initiate~, right in your kitchen, with laser. what nobody can do is ~confine~ so that chain react.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's step 12
asciilifeform wonders if mircea_popescu familiar with subj
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'u.s. national ignition centre' is an unholy cocktail of 'scientocracy'. it has three purposes: 1) ensure that laser-initiated fusion chain reaction is not discovered. (distant) 2) -- 'if discovered, must be under usg roof' 3) employ 1,000,000 'physics'-flavoured mediocrities
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'd rather try to rescue drunks. << Is there any better way to stay sober?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'internal combusion engine'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not crackpotty enough

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: didja ever read mircea_popescu's guide to wotronics ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 02:34 mircea_popescu: who the fuck reads biographies of mathematicians.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aight, i'll see about this eval-ing of text from mp-supplied urls

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and by 'WV' you mean 'VW' ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: glad you liked the piece! always happy to elucidate the strange in the four-wheeled world. but what's the 'c*' thing ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-29 18:38 mircea_popescu: much like if a boy's mating strategy consists of seeking out the places where no other boys go and waiting for girls to straggle in.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 14:48 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599692 << i'm not against it, but how do you handle the connection with some semblance of security ?
asciilifeform: 'fiatola is no friend of mine' (tm) (r) (mircea_popescu)
asciilifeform: asking for mircea_popescu-style 'sane' programmer is rather like to ask for hygienic sewer repairman. if such a thing is possible it consists of cosmonautic-grade compartment sealing.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it sounds to me that their unhappiness comes from their own expectation that they are so very best, not from their master's expectations really; if it were from those, then *all* slavegirls would be just as unhappy
