mircea_popescu: BUT if the computer you are talking to is equally redundant and badly built, you are either an idiot or very very unfortunate.
mircea_popescu: the great utility of the scribe / secretary, rather than the tits, is that natural languages have piles and layers of redundancy built in. a good note taker is a cheap way to gain 50 to 100% speed and a decent 10 to 25% quality for very little cost.
mircea_popescu: so i agree that talking to computers is loathsome. however, i often use note takers when speaking rather than writing myslelf. the latter explains the former.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re the "Have you ever actually used a speech recognition system to enter serious lengths of text? " line in your comments : i agree talking to a comp
mircea_popescu: like, the node, which is an always on demon, and then various things connecting to it : such as other nodes, on the eth card, or the user, always on the specifically delegated interface, etc ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 does that idea go as far as making bitcoin a sort of xserver ?
mircea_popescu: "do not tell me of what seems acceptable as an idea to pudgy people driving on the interstate towards connecticut. i do not care."
mircea_popescu: " My standard of comparison for any technology will always be everything previously achieved by mankind, rather than what is available on the market today."
mircea_popescu: and a sad testament to what you get stuck with if , like satoshi, have to jackbuild a house
mircea_popescu: why the fuck we're importing from a different project - and THAT one in particular is anyone's guess
mircea_popescu: mod6 this issue is critical because it's easily the squishiest point of the whole protocol.
mircea_popescu: such is the fate of right wing movements tho, bereft of means and resources as they are.
mircea_popescu: is how that spammer guy killed qntra and then bitcoin-assets.
mircea_popescu: you recall, the one that's so well tested apud gmaxwel
mircea_popescu: course also what the wunderbar vc boys are trying to do with their NOVEL inmplemetnation
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you be specific rather than rhetoric ? i dun follow
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am willing to bet there are over 1kbugs in this thing. all distinct.
mircea_popescu: might be a bug specific to the 9.8o but then that doesn't explain how all the others worked
mircea_popescu: this is pretty massive if true. mod6 do you feel like testing for this insanity specifically ?
mircea_popescu: whereas if you compile itwith more 2011 ish openssl itdoes ?
mircea_popescu: sooooo... on account of bitcoind recompiled with new openssl, actual bitcoind compiled with actual openssl as of 2009 does not pass blocks in 2011
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "psycd is currently being refactored into a GNUnet service to run secushare on. The former psycd code is quite interesting, but currently unmaintained. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i had some toast earlier, the toaster:~$ said :L)
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with shortcuts in principle, but this one hurts.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron for the sake of sanity, can you proceed closer to asciilifeform's original ?
mircea_popescu: what is the arch install and how did it end up imported in here ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: trinque: how do you propose to have the browser end run cl? << haha this i wanna see. clonqueror.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron "You can throw out the packaging and manual; we won't be needing those." << gotta love the justifiable pride the most serene republic's flag elates out of people.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm kinda half curious how many us based conf attendants discover at the border that the newly expanded tsa doth not agree their passport holds any value.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly. in this sense, the ultimate engine/life form would be one that lives somehow off the shaving.
mircea_popescu: as 1 goes up and 2 goes down there's at some critical point after which a man is taking his voice in his hands.
mircea_popescu: trinque i think the concern is to be approached on two lines, empirically. line 1) what % of queries constitute powerplays and b) what % of queries result in interesting education that a noob reading logs would benefit from.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform technically speaking, the milk and water mixing IS recorded in ever yinstance.
mircea_popescu: interesting how qm actually clips the graph there huh.
mircea_popescu: there's of course a finite number of photons that saw it, but w/e man.
mircea_popescu: and global record of 1+1 was trivial. perhaps on a machine much akin to physical reality : the result of mixing milk and water is stored for everyone to see - they need but look
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but imagine data storage literally was not an issue.
mircea_popescu: yottabytes all over, but perhaps something like nock (in principle, not what was proposed) ?
mircea_popescu idly wonders what'd a world look like where gavinesque insanities actually made sense. "have everyone's coffee purchases validated by everyone and preserved forever".
mircea_popescu: ... you want to code for a machine that doesn't exist ?!
mircea_popescu: dude i really like this qntra thing. about 1/3 of what i hated about the obsolete press were mistakes. being able to go hey x, Y! makes me all fucking warm and fuzzy inside.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah they run out of stock, not looking like they want to replenish it either.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes, it seems the alsa | pulseaudio difference was in fact bitterly preserved. one of those underground wars people like me tend to embarass themselves by not noticing.
mircea_popescu: don't even realise squeezing necks is what gets things done.
mircea_popescu: also not entirely unconnected with open source peace and love nitwits who far from knowing which necks to squeeze,
mircea_popescu: people tried to get games going on the platform, 2007-8ish to about 2012. it failed.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is a major point. the death of the linux is not exactly unrelated toi the major disappointment of the money makers.
mircea_popescu: "Even in 2014, you cannot use PulseAudio for competetive gaming on Linux. Not that it matters anyway. Even Valve abandoned Linux."
