mircea_popescu: bitmain can either make bitcoin miners or not make bitcoin miners. this isn't evben a choice -- for
as long
as they can they'll make, and once they become irrelevant they won't make. whether they also whine with it or not... who cares.
mircea_popescu: far
as i can tell, people who can't retain employment will whine about it for the next two weeks
as if it were a thing, then the date will come, nothing whatsoewver will happebn, and they'll just move on to whining about some other pie in the sky
mircea_popescu: user705 you would mine then
as you mine now. if you're pool mining, select a pool that isn't scamming you then , just
as you would now.
BingoBoingo: Ah, then perhaps read older Qntra too? Not much has changed since 2015. Enemies of Bitcoin simply cycling through new names
as old ones burn credibility
mircea_popescu: inexplicably,
as the dorks made a lot of noise about it then and have studiously pretended to have forgotten all about it ever since,
as if that's how this works now.
user705: is your view on the segwit lite that seems to be bandied about
as the solution same
as segwit2x which is just outright wrong?
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record, "oh, and what is the use of storing 500mb when i can calculate this in seconds" : because, dumbass, you might want
as we wanted TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE YOUR CALCULATIONS TO.
mircea_popescu: contemporary anthropology,
as a day-to-day endeavour, suddenly ended one day in the 90s when they finally saw pulp fiction. the heard s l jackson go "if my answers scare you, stop asking scary questions" and there was a collective sigh from the entire fucking profession.
mircea_popescu: "we have to prepare for having a child!" "you prepare, bitch, i'm already
as erect
as im gonna get."
mircea_popescu: this is what they did to women, and it was just
as insane.
mircea_popescu: i'm writing an article about it, but at the gist -- allowing one who is neither productive on their own (ie,
as a black box) nor competend to examination any degree of autonomy whatsoever.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 17:57 mircea_popescu: he could
as well be their fucking patron saint, the party of vaux.
mircea_popescu: te wilsons : that "their" name shall be used
as label, though it wasn't their name nor were they ever anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all women will fuck on occasion. point being there's no fuck on the bill of fare,
as with whores.
mircea_popescu: harriette fucking wilson, the apodictical modern girl of the 1800s. just like deep throat she traded all she could for attention
as a young ugly woman, and then grown old and growing upset at having derived altogether too little in unearned rents from the entire affair, moved on to trying to attention whore out of the perceived injustice of it all.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> erlehmann: gnome etc. is same nsaware
as the microshit icon-and-payload-loader garbage << AHA! Very coordinated these pixels.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-17 13:32 asciilifeform: live is too short to attempt to use eyeballs
as diff.
erlehmann: then i stopped looking,
as around a third of the thumbnail handlers had obvious issues and this topic bores me already.
erlehmann: and then i was like “other thumbnailers are surely
as stupid”
erlehmann:
as it would either mean reading about dependencies or installing gnome
mircea_popescu: when i was a child, i read a story, well written in the fantastic realist embryonic style. it contained a lamp for making darkness, which struck me then
as the pinnacle of antipossible objects.
mod6: so,
as a trial, i set it up on my eulora box.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Portion of Zoo in operating condition
as slimmed considerably
a111: Logged on 2017-07-16 19:49 BingoBoingo was a bit disappointed, this was merely traditional church building kept
as warehouse. Was expecting USian phenomenon where new construction church is actually build in the manner of a warehouse. Corrugated steel and all.

☟︎ Framedragger: (i thought you maybe wanted to check if archive.is tampered with it; which yes we should be able to do
as well)
Framedragger: i'll do the latter,
as to the former, i'm afraid it doesn't have it
as of yet
phf: so the utf-8 parser takes anything in the 0-127 range
as is, so we definitely wouldn't have any "magic string" cases in the happy path (the unhappy path being that you can apparently specify file type and encoding when posting to an rfc2388 form, and the server can happily decide to transcode it in whatever way it pleases)
mircea_popescu: i thought maybe it is the case that it takes a 2 or 3 byte item which starts with valid ascii and tries to interpret it
as some sort of unicode bs and in the process ends up applying a transform to the text somehow. but unless we have the actual magic string, we're not finding this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so far : it's not clear that it actually does anything untoward to ascii ; my tests
as they were failed to find an example. we did discover it replaces nonascii chars with some random gunk, which yes should be changed but not really much of a point or anything
phf: so it shouldn't be loosing anything in 0-127 range, at least the foo file comes through clean. it is trying to parse the input
as unicode (and i'm pretty sure it's the server doing it, because curl is sending it 8bit clean)
mircea_popescu: because i see 00000000: 0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f ................
as first line
mircea_popescu: (nfi why we're even testing uploading binary to wotpaste,
as that's not what it's for, but w/e.)
phf: it's not, --data-binary takes <data>
as an argument, at least according to man
mircea_popescu: send it
as postdata or what was it, special binary format
mod6: im probably condemmed to going through all the hoops to get gnat setup on gentoo. i just haven't ventured into it yes
as it seems like a pretty timely, process.
mod6: to resolve those, i had to yank target instructions to the same line
as the target var.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 00:46 asciilifeform: possibly delicate balance, between finding it anywhere in the room (
as a poorly made amp will ) and nowhere
erlehmann: but then drafts had to be sent
as ODT and came back
as PDF to be annotated. in hindsight that was probably a measure to prevent too many annotations.
mod6: i felt like had been silly not even considering going 1...N
as opposed to N...1
erlehmann: i guess they „try“,
as in keeping up appearances
erlehmann: mircea_popescu when i write software that considers the input language, i tend to write a grammar for the subset i am going to handle. so yes, i have written software that considers i.e. only characters valid in urlencoded base64
as input and rejects everything else.
erlehmann: let me say it like thit: a friend of mine once randomly started to masturbate beside me while visiting. i did not care
as i was occupied otherwise, since she did not leave stains. if she had, i would have told her to clean it up.
mircea_popescu: aka "i am a human perfect in every way and equal to all others, what could there be that's not directly obvious to me
as well
as anyone"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-28 02:19 mircea_popescu: there's no peer discovery
as a gossipd function ; at all times it knows already all the peers it will ever know. in lawyer speak this is called "never ask a question you don't know the answer to."
mircea_popescu: you can not, still to this day, in spite of all sort of "published research", include a statement of its own coherence in a coherent system sufficiently complex (so
as to include a statement of certain mathematical truths...)
trinque: ah, well sorta still works. meant that in latin the user can generate concepts on the fly, and have them known
as singular items upon which to anchor others

BingoBoingo: erlehmann: Anyways the point is, even pickeljaube still can't make Illinois
as cool
as Missouri where people wear DOT helmets, but are allowed to attach scabbard and ride with carbine on steel horse
trinque: I'm still an idiot flash-card-level student of latin, but worth discussing that
as the standard for "proper alphabetical lang". even things like "afui" make me feel like a bumbling idiot when in english I have to say "I was away". only way with pictographs to combine meanings and generate new would seem to be "well yeah, go with me on this one, but this one is sorta related-looking to these other two"
erlehmann: > estimates imply that every death of helmetless imbecile prevents or delays
as many
as 0.33 deaths among imbeciles on transplant waiting list

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: just
as soon
as they managed to get a little capital, which is to say money not needed day to day, they stuck it in this deeply improductive activity. not went to istanbul to buy cheap colorful crap to resell, not anything else.
mircea_popescu: this is not so, but let us not diverge any more. what did the old people do,
as their principal neo-society endeavour ?
mircea_popescu: erlehmann let me tell you a story. after the fall of the romanian socialist republic, people were left with no practically useful skills and no capital. a mad rush to accumulate both ensued, which was subsidiarily great because it put young people above old people and
as a result produced the only sort of society worthj living in -- with anxiety way way underregulated. now then -- what did the old people do,
as their principa
mircea_popescu: "oh but all teh great literature shall be lost" hurr durr. egyptian had just
as great literature. JUST
as great. its loss was thought important for centuries, before drunk soldiers broke the code and it was discovered -- egyptian literature is barely fit to grace toilet paper.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 16:44 erlehmann: what do you suggest
as an alternative?
mircea_popescu: he could

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes, brougham is a monument of socialist retardation. devout abolitionist (which, incidentally, is coming together in my mind
as the spot where western civilisation actually went off-course, early 1800s), argued with young re wave form of light, argued with some statistician re solar spots impact on wheat prices, tellingly thought everyone else unscientific and by comparison to his bright mind very stupid indeed and perp
erlehmann: ch does not exist
as unicode ligature, but
as i understand distinguishing characters is one of the problems unicode is at least intended to solve.
as soon
as everyone uses Æ for “ AE” the postprocessing is no longer needed.
jurov: your client will not supply it
as one
erlehmann: well, if ch is one character, i rather have it
as one codepoint.
jurov: erlehmann my language has such a delightful case of "ch" character. which is a "digraph" and to be counted
as one char.
erlehmann: asciilifeform i strongly suspect you do not distinguish between complexity and sheer numbers. i saw bloat always
as referring to needless complexity, size of something only
as evidence, not
as bloat itself.
erlehmann: some writing systems contain non-abstract symbols. all the same to me,
as long
as everything fits in 16×16 bits.
erlehmann: what actually happened is that people who wanted to use hieroglyphs passed around codes such
as A13 – a standard reference exists (gardiner's sign list) that was incorporated into unicode
mod6:
as you denoted. it kept me reading, which, counts for something.
erlehmann: problem is timespan. systemd already could not handle an empty string and executed tasks for users named “0day”
as root because names starting with numbers are hard, mmmkay?! it might take a long time before it collapses.
erlehmann: > One generic approach is to limit the privileges of font processing code in their respective environments, such
as enforcing sandboxing of the FreeType library, or moving the font engine out of the kernel in Windows (which Microsoft has done starting with Windows 10). However, that is mostly beyond our reach.
mircea_popescu: it's incomprehensible they even manage to have strip clubs here AT ALL. the girls are so utterly innocent of anything to do with either money or fucking that they might
as well be the local highschool volley team.
trinque: I admit I went
as far into IRC
as to make the thing stay connected, and otherwise didn't want IRC that far into my head
