asciilifeform: at any rate, the thing 'ipython', 'sage', etc. imitate, is 'mathematica', which is a close-source turd but at least it WORKS and WILL WORK FOREVER on my internet-less machine.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 20:09 Framedragger: wonder what tmsr thinks of ipython notebooks. basically you go to website and are presented with python interpreter, and a ready-made list of commands for graphing, doing stats etc. thinking of doing one of these for some initial ssh keyset analysis. nothing too serious at all
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: probably has better binding arbitrartion jokes than i in any case
Framedragger: ben_vulpes' subconscious is tapping into his tty
ben_vulpes: did that come from?
Framedragger: heh, thanks
ben_vulpes: lol and even more in teh other logs
trinque: plenty of that in the logs
Framedragger: as a sworn lisper (well presumably) trinque, what do you make of haskell, out of curiosity?
Framedragger: thought, maybe there's some elephant-in-the-room reason for avoiding it :p
ben_vulpes: people will bitch about ths js.
trinque: no one will stop you from using the tools you like. we've already got cl, python, perl, shell script, et al, floating around various places
Framedragger: presumably said website would have the raw data as a module or somesuch
Framedragger: wonder what tmsr thinks of ipython notebooks. basically you go to website and are presented with python interpreter, and a ready-made list of commands for graphing, doing stats etc. thinking of doing one of these for some initial ssh keyset analysis. nothing too serious at all ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Also how does one make a valve with just a threader?
BingoBoingo: One can not imagine all possible fittings that might be required in underwater plumbing.
asciilifeform: (in place of the toolz)
asciilifeform: doubt it was the only thing; consider how many spare fittings would fit in the machine shop hall.
asciilifeform: lengths of pipe, as per BingoBoingo, is one likely item, but this pointedly does not require a whole lathe
asciilifeform: i should like to know what it was they typically cut.
asciilifeform: lel u.s. navy, 'During the past six months, our surveyors have uncovered a number of submarines not complying with a requirement for a chip shield on the lathe or drill press. To aid the fleet in a decision process for procuring a solution, I found three of numerous possible companies which supply equipment...'
BingoBoingo: Well how else do you thread pipe?
BingoBoingo: tubing cutter that demands more than 1-1/2" swing radius sucks
BingoBoingo: Well when initially building boat do solder connections when you have the space to do so.
BingoBoingo: those, tubing cutter, crescent wrench, channel locks, and emery cloth offers minimal space plumbing toolkit
asciilifeform makes note to self not to buy boatz from BingoBoingo ☟︎
BingoBoingo: sharkbites is this brass encased o-ring push to connect deal. rather handy
jurov: duct tape everything!
asciilifeform: lemme guess, equiv. of duct tape ?
BingoBoingo: On boat you can have big bag of "sharkbites" and skip torch.
asciilifeform: where there is ample space to swing a torch
BingoBoingo: But anyways Rigid copper is king because easy to work with
asciilifeform: so as to require frequent maintenance
asciilifeform: pex really seems like one of those plastics specially-designed for american chumps, to annihilate the intrinsic advantages of using plastic
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: same way they get into every boat ever ?
BingoBoingo: Old garden hoses though, especially the less common 3/4" are wear items even when situated in positions where wear seems unlikely.
asciilifeform: there is, imho, something there, old garden hoses are likely to remain available longer and wider than teflon
asciilifeform: yes he has the weird hipster 'let's use only junkyard parts' thing going
BingoBoingo: AHA, but Orlov makes a point of NOT using that.
BingoBoingo: Even the mega psi hot water hoses
asciilifeform: abrade, e.g., this, http://www.titeflex.com/industrial/products/PTFE
asciilifeform: or exposed to light.
BingoBoingo: because they have just enough flex to not break and because unlike hoses do not break just because time passed.
asciilifeform: i mean, for water, this isn't reactor coolant
asciilifeform: why the fuck would you want rigid pipes on a boat.
BingoBoingo: Anyways Orlov's plumbing problem is that when making the boat it should have been a primary rather than secondary consideration. Also wtf, hoses? Rigid copper seems like it would be much better for that application if boar design allowed for sanely routing pipes.
BingoBoingo: I kinda though his formula was most text on blog, book offers a bit of extra.
asciilifeform: good chunk of the text does look familiar, yes.
BingoBoingo: Srsly? He seems to put most of the book content on blog.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i just had a crate of lafonde b00kz come in. these have got to be the worst-formatted and least dense printed matter i have ever purchased.
pete_dushenski: "In Austin, Minnesota, another Kmart was turned into offices for Hormel, as well as a giant Spam Museum." << lol!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: walls are kinda thin and flimsy for that purpose. the orcs with 'strong retard' muscle will bust through those barriers like a steam train through a sheet of tin foil.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 12:16 thestringpuller: Also they are nailing the doors shut on Ether tomorrow until "clear winner": "As a Poloniex customer, you do not need to do anything. The migration will occur automatically, and your full balance of Ethereum will be transferred to the winning chain. Keep in mind that as we near the fork, we will be temporarily disabling deposits and withdrawals in preparation for the migration process. Trading will continue
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1505363 << same as kraken et al. as per http://www.contravex.com/2016/07/15/suppose-we-have-an-exchange-that-due-to-resource-limitations-is-limited-to-5-decimal-places-for-orders-or-how-kraken-is-scamming-to-stay-solvent/ << fleecing chumps... nothing to see here tewowist (israeli accent) ☝︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What and how are immaterial, likely will be solved for them.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i always picture them as being reused for gulags.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: based on observations in the wild, if they were told to go there they would.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wake me up when there are pokemonists in north atlantic.
asciilifeform: anyway folks who run idiot traps (which is what this is) are a necessary part of ecosystem
deedbot: [Qntra] Coinbase's Brian Armstrong Huffs The Ethereum Hardfork Jenkem - http://qntra.net/2016/07/coinbases-brian-armstrong-huffs-the-ethereum-hardfork-jenkem/
pete_dushenski: bobby flay, that's the one i was thinking of
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 16:21 asciilifeform: i would happily live in a truck if the truck could be teleported into a parallel space with 0 people by push of a button.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1505672 << submarine/boat can't promise this anymore. Niantic will put a poke-a-man stop near your nowhere and orcs follow. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: if it's only once or twice a month, a guess it's not that steep. and probably no more than a dinner for two at iron chef's resto in manhattan...
asciilifeform: i suppose the difference is being covered by the mandatory blackmail material
asciilifeform: can't say that i have. simply that 800/h is not titanically selective of customers.
mats: dunno that you can buy an hour's stay in a shoebox for $800 in nyc
pete_dushenski: alf has cross-shopped in this market ?
pete_dushenski: "“I am looking to weed out police and crazies,” she said. She estimates that only one in four potential customers ultimately passes. Those who do win some time with a professional escort/dominatrix, but it comes at a hefty price: Each hour can cost up to $800, and Rita’s cut is 30%." << steep! ☟︎
mats: looks like i read the old ver of the doc. see https://apps.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=zXtrctoj6zH7oNEOO6De6g%3D%3D&desc=594280%20D02%20U-NII%20Device%20Security%20v01r03&tracking_number=39498 for the new one if you wanna read
pete_dushenski: "If you work at Goldman Sachs in New York City and you want to tie up a woman and then have sex with her, there’s a good chance you’ll first have to speak to Rita. She’ll insist on calling your office, speaking to the switchboard operator, and being patched through to your desk. Then she will want to check out your profile on the company website and LinkedIn. She’ll demand you send her message fro
asciilifeform: quite the nightmare to statist mind.
asciilifeform: cheap universal digital radio drives snooping costs to astronomical heights, and threatens to de-emphasize centralized telco antennae ☟︎
asciilifeform: at any rate, don't expect usg to surrender in their war against general-purpose radio. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ('g' was sold, for its last few years of life, with insufficient ram to run any extant linux)
asciilifeform: 'here, you can have usable box again!111 for 2x the cost! be happy'
asciilifeform: 'gl' was simply when they added the snipped upper 2MB of ram back in
mats: too many revisions, and i don't think wrt54gl was available then
mats: fuck that thing. took me almost an entire day to reflash, first go around
asciilifeform: wide-open wrt54g sold more than all other put together.
asciilifeform: they could have done the 'signed firmware' thing in 1990s.
mats: i don't see the tendril at work here
mats: seems to me manufacturers are taking a generous interpretation to this in order to accelerate obsolescence
asciilifeform: 'device may only be sold if 1) it is broken in the ways we demand 2) user cannot fix it'
mats: 1 is so ridiculously vague that it doesn't mean anything to me
asciilifeform: what's so hard to see ?
mats: >An applicant must describe the overall security measures and systems that ensure that: 1. only properly authenticated software is loaded and operating the device; and 2. the device is not easily modified to operate with RF parameters outside of the authorization.
mats: i'm reading the document and it doesn't explicitly say anything about the firmware
mats: i recall the issue being about power transmission
asciilifeform: (baofeng is a short-range VOICE radio, though, and hence politically inconsequential.)
asciilifeform: so the router thing is quite certainly not about spectrum policing.
asciilifeform: incidentally cn co. 'baofeng' happily sells 'piss all over the spectrum' radio sets in usa.
asciilifeform: cn will churn out STRICTLY what can be sold to the chumps and no more.
asciilifeform: costs them ~0.
mats: .cn is happy to churn em out all the same, no?
mats: let em try to stop, its an excellent expenditure of funds
phf: WIFI is so that you can talk between your WINDOWS 10 PC and your COMCAST ROUTER, duh
asciilifeform: mats: and the pigfuckers certainly don't want you and i turning the wifi chip into mesh network etc. ☟︎
asciilifeform: just like what microshit is in the process of achieving with pc.
asciilifeform: but yes, none of this has anything to do with spectrum politeness and everything to do with 'them terrorists install non-usgificated firmware, handbuilt bsds even, this has got to stop'
