mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the air conditioner gave
them offense (through for instance piping old rush limbaugh shows in
their head or who knows what
the fuck similar psychogenic noise) so
they prayed
to religion and applied
the corresponding holy water : something WITH AIR IN IT. because air conditioner.
therefore expanding foam.
mircea_popescu: see,
the parts of
that misfortunate fridge
tray ARE CLEAR, and i guess
they offended
them in some way, so
they prayed
to science and applied
the corresponding holy water : something clear.
mircea_popescu: ok, rant
time. idiots glued
together
two parts of fridge so it can't be properly cleaned. with caulk. which brought
to mind
the "hvac unit filled with expanding foam for no discernible reason", and i finally groked how
these idiots
think.
thestringpuller: i forget what ended up happening with
the pixar cash cow, I always
though stuff like Frozen, Wreck It Ralph, etc. were push
to reclaim
territory
BingoBoingo: This leaves Disney with Superheroes, Star Wars, and
Tim Allen
BingoBoingo: In other news
that isn't yet qntr'd
the
threshold, in 3 short years ESPN went from Disney cash cow
to open hemorrage
mircea_popescu: us "tech sector" is basically
the bros vs
the cheerleading sluts vs
the librarian dorks vs
the etc highschoolorama.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron surprising no one, a)
there was exactly no work done by
the "engineering" company uber, at any point and b) piles of worthless bureaucratys each
trying
to use
their own brand of identity politicsw
to "get on
top"
mircea_popescu: who could have guessed doing with
the gab isn't doing something!
mircea_popescu: half
the piece is about dumbass half-transparent overlays and making me a sandwich while shutting
the fuck up.
hanbot: you figure
this wallet in particular has a pox?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 18:44 mircea_popescu:
the receiver should see it ;
the sender has nfi what happened, rescan will fix.
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615687 << fwiw, receiving wallet does see amt sent. meanwhile
trb restarted with -rescan shows same balance as before, which we now realize *had changed* following
transaction just...not by amt sent.
to wit, listtransactions sees original balance, sees correct sent amt with fee, nevertheless balance via getinfo has mystery-difference. which shows as a negative, and only value, via listaccounts.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ahaha. so basically...
they give up, right ? unix-like ie 100% of
the net infrastructure. prb is officially a
toy, not
to be run seriously.
mircea_popescu: "PRB should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently
tested on
them."
mircea_popescu: they got a problem, blockchain hasn't fit on any
tablet apple markets for a year
mod6: ah, yes. very cool. how's ada going for ya? I've only recently dipped my
toe in
that water.
mod6: yeah,
that project will
take much
thought and consideration. i applaud
that approach.
ben_vulpes: "mostly reading" last
time i spoke
to himi on
the
topic
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> some kind of share-able listener
tmsr infrastructure. has a lot
to do with
the uci project. << yeah, many exciting
things are starting
to open up.
mod6: testing on
the new V seems
to be going well, probably will publish next month.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> it's kinda covered in
teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format
thing'd be a good idea << yeah, I like
the idea.
mircea_popescu: some kind of share-able listener
tmsr infrastructure. has a lot
to do with
the uci project.
BingoBoingo: eventually all
those little steps add up into "Holy Shit" good enough lesser people would stamp "done" and quit
BingoBoingo: The
things about
the reports is
the proceed piecemeal into
thing like channel epihany
today
mircea_popescu: it's not an event is what he means. was a
thing for a while now, it's just incidentally been brought up
mircea_popescu: it's kinda covered in
teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format
thing'd be a good idea
BingoBoingo: mod6 asciilifeform mircea_popescu or hanbot care
to qntra up
this milestone?
mod6: so now, i only go up
to 1 ft,
then I call it for
the season. gets hard on
the dogs
too.
mod6: doesn't leave a lot for cover for
the birds. we hunt in
the snow, until it becomes un-walkable. once i did
through 3-4 ft. drifts, and nearly had a cardiac event.
mod6: mircea_popescu:
today was a gift. usually never hunt by
this
time of year --
too cold,
too much snow in
the fields.
mircea_popescu: myeah,
to borrow alfism, it's unclear what
the megawatt of iron folk would have even done re
this. it's not, afaik, a matter approacheable by corporate america.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ha nice going mod6 <<
Thanks! &
Thanks
to all who helped in
the effort.
mircea_popescu: (and of course it's only 16 months in a very loose measuring, original v was published
the very same month)
mircea_popescu: 16 months is RIDICULOUSLY quick for something of
this magnitude.
a111: Logged on 2015-08-05 13:38 mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able
to put into work
the
theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing
to work, but not able
to grow a beard".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's glorious
to watch. i would say we have a complete, reliable and quite elegant solution
to
the original mandate
mod6: awesome,
thanks for
testing!
mod6: they are
tasty, indeed.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, reasonabru. i'll probably kill
the web stuff and make
the
thing irc-only. not going
to happen immediately, still planning out data collection system
mircea_popescu: but actually
the fact
that i
think we'd lose out on a lot of value by not doing
the v-tron
thing here.
mircea_popescu: the reason i hesitate
to publish
the extensive mp alien
techs wrt bitcoin infrastructure isn't simply
the sheer size ; nor merely
the political consideration of, "hey,
there's a lot of value in enemy not actually knowing what mp capabilities are -- as widely exemplified in
the public sphere by
the march cartel
trampling among who knows what private adventures"
mircea_popescu: but
this is also where heterogenicity of implementation is a major republican asset.
mircea_popescu: gotta distinguish between push and pull sort of needs, also. if you want
to know "what is x" you want something substantially different from wanting
to "let everyone know y"
mircea_popescu: yes, because you don't want
to commit
the serious resources needed for a node on each of
these boxen.
