scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/mark-epstein-aka-ipistenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/
thestringpuller: so i figure that would cut down on a lot
kakobrekla sorta has a bitcoin poker site in some drawer somewhere
xanthyos: pokerstars auth isn't as complicated as gpg so you might want to have a policy that each player has to prove themselves in irc before each game
xanthyos: thestringpuller: what if we created a #bitcoin-assets pokerstars home game club and had a way that every account generated was tied to a gribble-authed account, and use it as both a gaming platform as well as a record-keeping ledger for off-blockchain track of wins and losses
punkman: "u r not allowed to gamble without us taking a cut, kthxby"
thestringpuller: xanthyos: gribble is really centric. but also a goof keystore. thats why i like punkman's auth model that is sinilar to mpex
punkman: there's a couple open source irc poker bots
xanthyos: a gribble-centric poker bot
xanthyos: punkman: there's a 2 BTC freeroll on nitrogensports.eu registration starts in 1.5 hours and it starts 2 housr after that
punkman: hello asseteers, a healthy and prosperous new year to all
xanthyos: can only lead a stubborn dehydrated horse to water so many times before it turns to jerky
xanthyos: dubs is a friend of danielpbarron and mine, we go back years and he's down on his luck, homeless, and not very good at accepting help graciously or taking technical directions. the wot could save him if he'd put in the least bit of effort
fluffypony: cazalla: Gordhan is a smart man, but they're doing exactly as expected - they're just going to copy what everyone else is doign
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2015/01/japanese-newspaper-reports-99-of-bitcoins-at-mt-gox-lost-due-to-fraud/ might be a case of shit being lost in translation but we'll see
kakobrekla: i changed the voting system a few times.
gribble: Error: "RAET" is not a valid command.
mod6: haha Jason saw a landing strip
thestringpuller: "There's the field that I keep threatening to quit computers for: plumbing. One plumber I dealt with once told me that he makes more than most doctors. Of course, you have to go through a long apprenticeship and journeyman period during which you don't make nearly that much. "

thestringpuller: haven't seen TaT in here for a minute
adlai: nice. decimation had me check out netagio, and i'm using bitbucket with a client... now all my banner ads are for bitcoin exchanges and analytics services
adlai was always aware of the PR industry existing, but never thought of it as a separate entity from, even a competitor to, the advertising business
adlai: "Reporters sometimes call a few additional sources on their own, like someone adding a few fresh vegetables to a can of soup." http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
cazalla: gee ya tempting me, i had planned for a sober nye for good start to qntra 2015
BingoBoingo: Ah, It's a vile place. Generally full of well lubricated Negress's
BingoBoingo: I've been to Usian strip clubs before I know that the American Negress will bleed anything of value that that can imagine exists from a strip club patron.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah. I just need to travel to a sufficiently poor country to acquire one.
BingoBoingo: Seems though like a reasonable interim stop to pick up a wife before moving to a more permanent retreat in Evita-Land.
BingoBoingo: Why does my brother pretend he has not the slightest bit of racism in him yet when he moves to the city chooses a Bosnian neighborhood over a black neighborhood?
asciilifeform just about emptied wallet paying mr. p for conference-3 ticket. invites #b-a folks to laugh.
BingoBoingo: devthedev: Not necessarily ouch to me. You have to remember the part where generally I am a despicable human being.
BingoBoingo: Serious I prolly have a file and it prolly has blanks. Am I missing anybody?
asciilifeform: 'Turns out through the S3 API you can actually spin up EC2 instances, and my key had been spotted by a bot that continually searches GitHub for API keys. Amazon AWS customer support informed me this happens a lot recently, hackers have created an algorithm that searches GitHub 24 hours per day for API keys… Once it finds one it spins up max instances of EC2 servers to farm itself bitcoins…' << mega-lol!
thestringpuller: i wouldn't mind the risk so much if the chance of accidents also provided a chance of developing super powers
BingoBoingo: I don't have a problem with climbing. I have a problem with the possibility of falling.
thestringpuller: set electricals are by definition nigga rigged cause they are temporary. always wanted to be a gaffer/set technician myself, but man.
thestringpuller: so just saw a news special about a guy who got electrocuted installing a 35k watt lamp on a movie set
thestringpuller: that was a good film
BingoBoingo: Westinghouse is kind of a knock off GE
BingoBoingo really wants a fucking time machine
asciilifeform: whereas when you lay out logic for a traditionally fabbed ic, the circuits, well, 'move'
BingoBoingo: We're talking a company (Sun) that took more than a decade to realize they could assemble systems on benches instead of the floor. They have to have/had a legacy non-winblows tool chain that might still be in use.
asciilifeform: iirc opensparc is a mostly-traditional sparc.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems like it's a perverse vliw-ized sparc.
BingoBoingo: Not explicitly, but... Just going off of what my gut feels reading a machine translation
undata: I've got a pretty dialed in emacs+stumpwm combo I'm happy with locally
BingoBoingo: undata: WHy are you running an emacs IRC bouncer locally on a laptop?
BingoBoingo: Come on there isn't a single personal server need that isn't well served by emacs.
undata: weechat has a pretty nice relay mechanism
undata: Pierre_Rochard: there's always a bouncer
Pierre_Rochard: I’ll have to cook up a script that logs me in and auths automatically whenever I open my laptop, there’s a pyschological barrier when I have a pile of work to do
BingoBoingo: Well,... You know IRC is always open... Even when MP's on a vacation that's apparently growing tits
BingoBoingo: undata: Chicago this year is poor example. They had a relatively peaceful year... for SHitcago.
BingoBoingo: Of course. Fire has metabolism, so it is a living thing. I kill about 20 fires a day when I put out my cigarettes.
undata: asciilifeform: yep, during the recent portland "protest" I found a livestream of some hipster there; he was flirting with a girl for the 20sec I watched
undata: the looting is just a more illiterate version of the same entitlement the white trash has
BingoBoingo: I only link it, because apparently tonight there has been yet another shooting incident in Ferguson. No idea yet if a person has been shot.
assbot: Ibuprofen For a Longer Life?. In the Pipeline: ... ( http://bit.ly/1y4PlaC )
BingoBoingo: http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2014/12/29/ibuprofen_for_a_longer_life.php
asciilifeform: rather than an actual product with a future.
asciilifeform: according to one source, it's actually a grantsmanship/embezzlement scheme against chinese gov.
BingoBoingo: Loongson seems to be a "parachute"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the most that exists is a very straight linux port.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For a long time ARM wasn't either. The point is it exists at the moment mostly to build history so it might seem a credible option later.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for instance, i'm unable to find it advertised for sale at anything like a reasonable price, anywhere on the planet
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: afaik it isn't exactly a flying success.
decimation: loongson is a mips64 variant
decimation: I mention this because nearly all arm chips come baked in a SoC
decimation: apparently it is common practice for the vendor to ship broken hardware and paper over defects with a special google-blessed turdware
asciilifeform: iirc, it was designed by a woman. i won't psychiatrize on this point, but let's see what mircea makes of it!
decimation: I was chatting with some cyanogen mod developers about a particular arm-based phone
asciilifeform: it's a mind-blowingly complex piece of shit.
asciilifeform: incidentally, i bring up 'arm' to remind folks that we are quickly approaching (or perhaps past) the point of being stuck with a turd every bit as odious as x86
decimation: asciilifeform: there is a direct parallel between the 'bubble' that is arm/x86 and the 'bubble' that is 'USD'
kakobrekla: but im not using this, was given a free instance a month or so ago.
asciilifeform: while being a heavily patent-encumbered, baroquely-architectured turd.
asciilifeform just today finished a ~3 week, all-waking-hours death marathon of 'arm' reversing. 'jailbroke' a [censored] (rare laboratory instrument)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: on, if i recall, a 'raspberry'
asciilifeform: but 'structured asic' is still not a real asic.
fluffypony: kakobrekla: yeah but was Vladimir generally a scammer, or just an isolated incident?
asciilifeform: the latter isn't simply a non-reprogrammable fpga; it has the LUTs of fpga, but with 'wiring' baked into the metallization layers, rather than fpga-style switching fabric
assbot: Logged on 08-12-2014 18:26:51; asciilifeform: (re: miner asics: anyone who gives a damn can find, in #b-a logs, my reasonably well-supported hypothesis that miner asic never actually -happened.- that is, there are devices, and they - approximately - work, but they are not 'asics' in the traditional sense. more 'hardcopy fpga.' - actual term of art)
kakobrekla: there were a bunch of other nonhappening asics at the time
assbot: 23 results for 'vladimir' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=vladimir
asciilifeform: how 'exceptional' of a programmer does one need to become, to leave usa ?
asciilifeform: 'Question: why doesn’t this hypothetical guy, if he’s so ‘great’ and ‘exceptional’, just do his own thing? What’s he need Initrode for? Why should he move to a 2 BR/2 BA in Sunnyvale, CA to get a biweekly paycheck?'
decimation: "So basically I’m being told that this is a foreign worker who might add 100X in value and you only have to pay them X.
BingoBoingo: Because when your hammer is a DoS, every nail is a website
asciilifeform: why does this need a www site ?
kakobrekla: lol lizard squad lauches 'ddos for bitcoin' service, on a website protected with cloudflare.
asciilifeform: decimation: the relevant boojums are to be produced either in underground workshops, like grenades during warsaw ghetto uprising, or in a foreign land and smuggled in
decimation: asciilifeform: re: illegal radios << yes, this is a route. unfortunately usg is good at finding such products and crushing their makers
BingoBoingo: The worst part of this clusterfuck of errors is I haven't even had a drink yet. Fucking language learning app on the new pet android device robbing my brain of all of its glucose.
TomServo: asciilifeform: what do you mean 'is a hangout'?
asciilifeform: (leaving aside the question of whether mr s is a hangout)
