Framedragger: worx for me as long as javascript callbacks are supported so developers can expand and add custom JS logic
mircea_popescu: without exception one claiming "i fucking love science" or "where can i find just the facts" or etcetera is merely rejecting what they perceive as the NORMAL authority, in favour of an unvoiced alternative they deem superior.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: devil's advocate: can attempt to resist where-to-go paradox without making reference to authority if you admit that agent's free will can also include (while still counting as free will) "unconscious heuristics" ("water is priority"; but yes this is missing the point, i guess) / "random behaviour" (buridan would disagree that this is "free will", i guess)
mircea_popescu: the fact that you get an erection watching a picture of Anne rather than reading "Anne spent her days naked and her tits were big and milky" is no argument as to the ~meaning~. your erections ain't meaningful.
asciilifeform: do we have to do the 'find me whoever willing to work with humlang representation of electric circuit as the primary working medium' thread again..?
mircea_popescu: anyway, table stakes for derrida-ing, either as jacques or john, is writing that damned http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-15#1656241 as a universal errorless machine. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i would dismiss the whole "public intellectual" v 5.0 as entirely like the tv starlet. they ALSO all sound the same.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm so you would dismiss say the whole internalism/externalism debate as effectively tv show, then? :D
mircea_popescu: no, Framedragger , it wouldn't be neat. it would be normal. code-as-ascii-string diff fundamentally can't work.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck can't i add the string 68 with the numeral 7 to get the real 74.99999999 as god intended ? it's ALL STRINGS YES ?
asciilifeform: and yes in 'proper comp' code would be stored as an ast, and not as ascii linear turd.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to while { do stuff ?
asciilifeform: it is very easy to prescribe that pilot's yoke should be shaped like pair of tits, if you are not and not at any risk of working as pilot.
mircea_popescu: as big as you fucking feel like.
asciilifeform: (indentation MUST remain as author put it )
mircea_popescu: mno. i'm thinking of them as what they are -- the author being mentally slow, and attempting the equivalent of ajax in my fucking text file.
asciilifeform: think of line breaks as a comment.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 04:44 fromloper: I have NDA access, so I have slightly better documentation (but still shit and incomplete). Business decision. Intel only because that's where 95% of the market is. Also easier to do security research on ME and AMT if you can step through, which needs JTAG as well.
asciilifeform: not as if 'free world' 'bank' were a private org. rather than a crown organ where plebe is to put his meager savings for ease of requisitioning.
mircea_popescu: hoarding it like ~ is borne of a very flattering view of humanity, supposing somehow that the worms could also not be worms, if $magic, such as you know, reading a book.
mircea_popescu: phf` suppose this morning you have to read l'histoire de mademoiselle cronel ditte fretilon. because whatever, as part of your plurious activities you're helping a girl get a place off the ground and being a serious agent you scoop the quarries of truth quite that deep. what now ?
BingoBoingo today had to console poor fellow who burdened himself with a 4-cycle string trimmer "It seems to not be that powerful" "Of course it's not, there's half as many power strokes"
mircea_popescu: well, the reasoning was, "as they can't be bothered to read online while out ; so can't they be bothered to read books while in"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 22:11 ben_vulpes: one wrinkle that occurred to me as i tested this patch against a not-completely synced node this afternoon is that satoshi's early transactions were all of the "pay to pubkey" variety, and not today's standard "pay to pubkey hash" breed.
mircea_popescu: because seems as it is that it may not return anything specifically in some cases.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes to my mind "c99 loop vs boost blabla" is very much in the same chapter as 4/2 spaces etc
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it does ; not from boost ; satoshi'd have written it as a boost thing im sure
ben_vulpes: one wrinkle that occurred to me as i tested this patch against a not-completely synced node this afternoon is that satoshi's early transactions were all of the "pay to pubkey" variety, and not today's standard "pay to pubkey hash" breed. ☟︎
trinque: I'm on deck to help however as well.
ben_vulpes: (as i predicted last night)
mod6: (style considerations and grinding can be left off until later. as I was saying before, ``first we make it work, then we make it pretty'')
asciilifeform: e.g., seppuku by a subordinate so as to help his commander prep for own seppuku
asciilifeform: ( not as if every item in большая советская энциклопедия were dead on accurate!! )
mircea_popescu: yet plenty of comme il faut gents were not thinking men. as per babbage etc.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform had a 1958 'britannica', made in usa, that he fished out of a dumpster as a boy. it was superb, as far as encyclopaedia goes, about on par with famous большая советская энциклопедия . but today it lives packed in a crate. ☟︎
asciilifeform has often wondered if encyclopaedias, even in the golden age of same (1950s, perhaps) , were useful other than for letting a bright kid know 'approximately what exists' . to adult they served largely same purpose as pediwikia today - 'pulling feeling-knowledgeable cock'
asciilifeform: just as britney ~prevents music, etc.
mircea_popescu: wikipedia loves to compare itself with the various actual encyclopedias it stole most of the material worth reading from, but on a "per line" basis, as if THAT is the fucking point of an encyclopedia, never mind the COMPLETENESS or RELIABILITY parts.
mircea_popescu: today's street urchin is entirely useless -- he's more than happy to spend 30, 50, 150 years if possible siphoning your salary (which he regards as his living wage / god given right) to pay for the britny spears "music" and entirely similar "start-ups", ie, let a lot of you idiots give us your valuable stuff for free maybe we get enough of it to survive our inept whittling it down and still be somehow worth money.
trinque: aha. last night summarizes as "how dare you elevate yourselves by pissing on this husk of hand-me-down *culture* to claim you have one"
trinque: sadly I think this was a result of a four course meal joint struggling to get by, for same reason as "he didn't introduce himself to me omg"
trinque: I used this as a teachable moment for all
trinque: "uh I don't know, people started cutting their dicks as part of a mass mental breakdown. I think they had quite fair skin."
asciilifeform: re flames, first time i ever rode in a jet, as a boy, was Very Disappoint to see 0 flames coming out of engine
ben_vulpes: http://www.wrightspeed.com/ << production drivetrain, as described. battery, not described however.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625794 << just to update that recommendations had been made, are going through, and my sincere thanks to tmsr as always ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/de-fapt-de-ce-nu-folositi-voi-linux/#comment-122036 <<< the sad corrolary of existing in public. you get people thanking you in 2017 for your 2011 article recommending ubuntu as a simple "hey, why not linux again ?" stop gap.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655633 << if you mean the locklin piece, guess what! was my first impression of the dood five years ago as well. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's not hard to observe, as a theoretical physicist at least, that ~all engines to date are stumbling at a general problem with naive assumptions.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to revisit upstack : putting "quantum computing" in the same pile of failed technologies as stem cell research is beyond idiotic. holy hell, every woman that ever was pregnant got the embryonic boost, measurable and measured, wtf.
mircea_popescu: whether you attach the items to the drive train via electric exchange ; or whether you attach them via the historical arrangement known as turbocharger, in point of fact you've put some items to work for your transmission.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by same token as your reasoning above, my comp is a turbine engine ( has turbine fan in it , hey )
mircea_popescu: but on what grounds do you disqualify it from "turbine", other than "it successfuly masquerades as something else, fooling me"
mircea_popescu: the statement was "some kind of turbine under the hood, even if masquerading as a more traditional something or other".
asciilifeform: ( though , unlike locklin, i will not rule out wreckers as the explanation )
Framedragger: (^ may as well check phuctor box, but module probably won't be loaded.)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 09:10 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655460 << most hybrids have some kind of turbine under the hood, even if masquerading as a more traditional something or other.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 04:46 ben_vulpes: my point is don't use the battery as anything other than a temporal load leveler, and bam you have yourself effectively a clutch.

asciilifeform: idea , however, is that it will run blox past trad trb ( netless , mempoolless trb ) as 'final court'
ben_vulpes: once this patch works (which it almost certainly does not, as i have only finished drafting it), it will serialize unspent outputs to disk in a simple format for...later use.
ben_vulpes: this patch adds an rpc command that eats as input one address, and walks the blockchain for outputs that spend to the address.
ben_vulpes: now i have to decide how to test it, for the odds are that it does not work as-written. but i do invite commentary on the design!
asciilifeform: one time i went to an exhibit of electric vehicles, there were not only modern machines but lovingly handcrafted (from ordinary chassis) items, from as early as '80s, still working
ben_vulpes: prius is not electric to the shaft, as we just discussed. it has electrical supplement to the shaft.
ben_vulpes: my point is don't use the battery as anything other than a temporal load leveler, and bam you have yourself effectively a clutch. ☟︎
asciilifeform: diation steps as quickly as possible."'
mircea_popescu: prisons have this very interesting fermentive effect for democracies. basically, it's easy enough to pretend like "our democracy" while the bread's still flowing ; once that stops, as it always does -- suddenly it's impossible for the "our democracy" pretense to insulate itself from the authoritatian restructuring the prison drives into society.
mircea_popescu: the lyrics include gems such as "so the whole world sees you're the most unique" &c
mircea_popescu: ~same as argentina.
asciilifeform: no, as method of preparation
mircea_popescu: eyah, somehow teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn't quite prepared for a) his nonsense to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b) the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
phf`: ahaha, that's a great metaphor. i think somebody, possibly Gogol had some similarly visceral imagery, but i don't remember it as a phrase
mircea_popescu: yeah. basically it's large scale fat distillation. might as well sit atop a refinery tower.
diana_coman: makes some sense; to me though "smell of food" is fine as long as it's more like flavour of thing on the plate, NOT smell from the kitchen ; those people like that smell from the kitchen; admittedly it's still not industrial so yeah, there is something there
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's distingush "smell of food" as in ie mp cooks for three and "smell of kitchen", as in, restaurant. it's not the smell of any specific food just like the sewer is not the smell of any specific ass. yes some people like some asses, but that's as far as it goes.
diana_coman knows people who LIKE the smell/to smell of food; I'm quite sure they know also what hunger means - firsthand as it were, even if in their past rather than present
mircea_popescu: 1. the restaurant was unvented. if you went on the loft above of it, you could thouroughly smell it. so would your clothes if you spent enough there -- such as, time for a meal.
mircea_popescu: so, girl discovered this very promising place. in charge of it, this stunning beauty of an actress/real estate agent. you understand me ? this girl did understand you can't make it as an actress without money, but she didn't go into prostitution, or waitressing, like all others. she got herself real estate firm.
asciilifeform: 'South Korean officials called the claim “groundless.” The CIA declined to comment, as is customary.'
pete_dushenski: i'd like to take this opportunity to introduce 'constantine' (37.59.43.190) as an infrastructure trb node. he will be replacing 'laocoon' (62.113.203.216), who will be henceforth relegated to testing duties. cheers!
pete_dushenski imagines alum-in-v-pipe to be as sharply edged as rain gutters he picked up from orange depot today. winces.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gcc is no longer an interesting tool - llvm took over. currently being maintained as "coreboot".
shinohai: You never know with me. I have a girl here I'd love to stuff a ball-gag into as we speak.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems entirely likely the item is onlyt there because in their experience ustards perceive its presence as "professional"-ing.
mircea_popescu: hey, the russki's are trying to be civilised. absent any signal from you as to what civilisation entails, they end up following the pantsuit ustards.
mircea_popescu: as you might imagine, "Sales & Business Development" not the most exciting line of work.
asciilifeform: anyone so much as ever seen one ?
asciilifeform: how the living fuck does one reverse ciphered blob of instructions for unknown instruction set, consisting mainly of writes to registers of unknown purpose (mostly dealing in such things as setting PLL frequency etc) without physical peek ?
mircea_popescu: miught make a fine offering for the eventual tmsr isp, just as soon as anyone gets off their intellectual arse and actually starts living life instead of dreaming it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as "headless whatever" item is concerned trinque it seems to me something you can rack is a better choice than something you gotta keep around the house / out of dog's mouth etc.
asciilifeform: trinque: such marvels as, e.g., 'web20', javascript, etc. came directly from allowing teenaged scum to have whatever involvement in design aside from cleaning the shop at closing time each day.
trinque: I dunno what strategic sense it makes to as yet have no mechanical way to stamp out a full trb node
mircea_popescu: if the idea is "this stove is not intended to work as a gun" then you can't justify buying lens clearing fluid for the stove's scope.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by same token ALL known GBe nics are just as useless, yes
asciilifeform: such as.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform will never be able to in good conscience sign off on the extant GB NICs as auditable items.
mircea_popescu: soldered a raspi inside a pizza carton, sold as "nofucks" or somesuch
mircea_popescu: still, apu1 with pre-checked gentoo install as a commodity router/webserver is sound approach.
asciilifeform: video works either immediately (pre-obummer cards, approximately) or never (i count 'with closed blob driver package' as == 'never')
