badon: Well, actually, the CC can track
a single bill by its serial number.
badon: I plan on giving people access to it via
a browser plugin, so it will automatically show interesting data about something whenever you're looking at it.
mircea_popescu: well no, if you make an engine and i ask "show me the part that'll make me grok wtf this is" you don't wanna show
a leaflet.
badon: mircea_popescu: Hmm, OK, let me think for
a bit about that. Maybe you could read the Fundly description?
badon: mircea_popescu: It's sort of
a comprehensive market database. It contains lots of fine-grained data, and it's also able to give
a more general overview.
badon: punkman: It was pretty obscure until
a few months ago, so I'm still reacting with surprise when people ask me about it out of the blue.
punkman: badon, I've come across coincompendium
a couple times, is that your thing?
mircea_popescu: badon this chan is the public forum of
a new power in the world, ie, the people who have been made immensely rich by bitcoin and are slowly but surely taking over the world.
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2013 03:46:03; mircea_popescu: i am amused at the noobs that still don't grasp why their average bitcoin lifespan is less than
a year.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: training wheels on
a function wave? <<< yeah, you know, help you find it exists.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2014 04:33:40; asciilifeform: switching caps lock and ctrl << 'Emacs actually comes with
a builting Emacs Aptitude Test. Do you remap your keyboard or the Emacs keybindings before the chords and sequences it comes with by default have wreaked havoc with your hands? If you do not do anything to make Emacs more convenient for yourself, you may not have the prerequisite aptitude to use it productive.' (naggum, who else.
http://www. mats_cd03: you'll change your mind after
a little carpal tunnel
decimation: asciilifeform: actually, you have emphasized the 'language coprocessor' feature of the brain in the past - perhaps the best interface is
a reliable speech-to-symbol synth
decimation: actually if we want to go farther, an interface that examines very fine, high speed eye movements might be
a high-speed method of precise data entry
decimation: what about
a video camera watching your gestures 'minority report' style?
decimation: asciilifeform: my 'glove' idea was really
a robot hand that would gently connect above your hand, to provide 'feedback' - but I agree that 'spring-like' action would be very difficult/expensive
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what doesn't work? resolution? speed? the whole not being
a phased array and so incapable of reconstructing 3d?
ben_vulpes: that the "computer" i haul everywhere cannot make
a realtime 3d model of its surroundings is hilarious.
ben_vulpes: sounds like
a bad engineering decision with small radar modules in the pipeline.
ben_vulpes: pm if you have questions. more than happy to lend
a hand.
ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: the sj deploy hairball is entirely bash with
a squirt of python to marshal aws resources
mats_cd03: ben_vulpes: i'm building
a dev env for website
ben_vulpes: cazalla: "Coinsetter is now promoting participation in the bitcoin market to professional market makers by offering maker-taker pricing and
a new equity incentive program beginning today. The 'Market Making Equity Incentive Program' will set aside 10% of the company's equity for distribution to institutionally-capitalized designated market makers (DMMs) who provide at least $300k of liquidity to
kakobrekla: but havent found the use for it in
a long tiem
kakobrekla: i was looking at topre board
a year ago but opted out in the end
badon: I couldn't find
a simple explanation in the channel topic, nor on the website.
badon: kakobrekla: The discussion in #freenode about
a DDoS bot here.
badon: Still, the idea of
a keyboard with ridiculously fast mechanical switches appeals to me.
badon: Typematrix is
a small company with only 1 engineer (one of the owners), so it's easy to have your voice heard if you've got
a good idea for them.
kakobrekla: well if you cant amortize
a kboard over
a decade... you are typing too slow.
badon: It feels
a lot like teflon.
badon: Kinesis and Maltron were both really very good, but the Typematrix was
a little better, and it was
a LOT cheaper and more portable.
badon: I spent
a ton of money on them, to test them all.
badon: I have used several Typematrix keyboards during the last decade. I tried all the best and most expensive ergonomic keyboards, but the Typematrix was the cheapest "serious" keyboard I tested, and it was also the best. It was also the most easily portable one too. I wrote an article yesterday about them, and
a few ways to get discounts and free stuff if you buy things in the right sequence:
https://www.livebusinesschat.com/smf/index.php?t mike_c: i've got
a friend who collects old crap like that, i'll ping him. he might know the right people to ask.
kakobrekla: i have
a bolt moded (ssk) and non bolt moded board and difference is huge
gernika: asciilifeform: I find it interesting that you prefer the buckling springs over something like the Microsoft Natural Keyboard that doesn't require you flex your wrists sideways. That said, using the MS keyboard ultimately has not prevented me from having issues. I must try
a springy keyboard.
decimation: asciilifeform: maybe they can keep
a detached dog's head alive too!!!
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2014 06:37:37; asciilifeform: soviet scientist declares, 'we've invented
a shit-to-food converter.' 'does it work?' 'sorta. spreading on bread: worlks!!11! eating - not quite yet.'
decimation: asciilifeform: I think sun made
a keyboard with function keys on the left, but no buckling springs
gernika: asciilifeform: sorry it's been about
a month since I read it
gernika: asciilifeform: so is someone who can't get ahold of
a microwriter basically just fucked?
decimation: basically
a robotic hand that gently attaches to your own?
decimation: yeah, one needs
a 'glove with feedback'
decimation: there was
a gentleman who bicycled across the country with
a modded 1990's era computer bike - and he had
a chorded keyboard
gernika: asciilifeform: I recently read Englebard's Violin and managed to get ahold of
a Twiddler. Have you used it?
mike_c: <+BingoBoingo> I've been reddit killed. << just being in this channel seems to get
a person banned from half the internet
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i know this, it's
a unix system!
