mod6: This year,
the anniversary of
the declaration is on Election Day in
the US. lol. We should go and stand in places and read
this outloud like
they used
to do after
the signing in 1776.
Framedragger: *to include
the new ssh_openpgp_diff_2016-07-13.tar is what i meant
Framedragger: (oh, and 1. will sign a checksum at some point (soon); and 2.
the
tarball contains
three compressed files which expand into
three dirs, with ~600k files per dir; one file = one openpgp key, same as last
time)
Framedragger: this concludes
the ipv4 ssh key scan (the new keys are due
to re-scan +
the previously-excluded hetzner hosting ip ranges). i may rescan in a couple of weeks or a month
to see how many new etc (and in general it would be a good and interesting exercise, etc.) some kind of writeup will follow...eventually
jurov: trinque yes
that sounds right
jurov: iirc it was in first deedbot incarnation and i had
to pester
the deeds.b-a second deedbot incarnation
to reupload it
jurov: no it's not,
tresurer contract was separate deed
trinque: Framedragger: myup, deeds.bitcoin-assets.com no longer points
to deedbot.org
Framedragger: oh
the sweet naivete and woes of internet's ephemeral aspects: has anyone (re)read
the bitcoin foundations declaration of independence recently?
http://thebitcoin.foundation/declaration.txt that link
tied
to
taxation of bitcoin profits does not work anymore, for example. i guess
the declaration's main matter was in spirit anyway

there
to do it" and 1% or so into "cartridge price
tag"
mircea_popescu: rifle gets residue from
the propellant. rail gun is magnetic, gets all residue from environment, also creates new residue out of solids.
mircea_popescu: then
the capacitors need replacing,
the diodes are burned out and
the whole
thing's gunked over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes.
they are insanely expensive. you're
thinking "oh, it's like a gun, hence railgun". no, it's not. your gun fires a magazine,
then needs cleaning,
then fires another and will do 10k cycles or more.
the rail gun fires one
thing, needs servicing, and will do maybe 3 ? 5 ? 12 ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but, in all war,
the cost of ammo is mostly a cost of opportunity.
mircea_popescu: so you're better off hiding
the energy in mass
than in speed.
mircea_popescu: just because
they couldn't in 1920 doesn't mean
they can't
today.
mircea_popescu: that's
the only projectile of unlimited energy : a rocket. because it slides under
the door of air friction.
mircea_popescu: which is why nukes are rockets rather
than bullets, be
those bullets accelerated chemically, magnetically or whichever other way.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-13 15:47 asciilifeform: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu unlike any
type of cannon, railgun imposes no limit on projectile energy.
that is
the whole reason for it.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-13#1502520 << eh, in "theory", which is
to say "in
the peculiar fictitious narrative some people jack off
to".
the limiting factor for both is drag, and it ain't going away. "oh but what if we're shooting spherical chickens in a vacuum" "you're still better off with a rocket stfu".

to exist?)
mircea_popescu: and
the fuckwit parade will consider it
tantamount
to
the bad
touch.

then something
tells me alf et al. are against such monolithic codebases in
the first place
mats: mircea_popescu, mod6:
thanks for your contribution
to
the courts project!

to put numbers on
this : as it recently came out in debate with alf, diesel generators get ~40% efficiency if large enough (closer
to my guess
than yours! ha-HA!) ; depending on
the coil design
the resulting electricity will be
transferred
to projectile somewhere around 1
to 5% efficiency.
to go higher air-cored assemblages are excluded because of
the high reluctance of
the damned
Framedragger: well, it's hard
to disagree, on second
thought.
Framedragger: linus chose
to do
the whole 'driver is part of kernel'
thing, yeah.
Framedragger: i guess
the fact
that you need
to arrive at a single kernel executable file does not hinder
this (cf. all
those exokernel projects, not
that exokernel architecture is
the right approach)
Framedragger: so in
the case of an os kernel, you'd just make sure
to break down
the source into codebase modules so
to speak?

this may sound like bait, but.... could you not just use signed commits in git, and enforce use of
those commits, and use `git blame`? is
the argument against
this
the usual "git is a shitload of code, best
to start anew [and also without existing political associations re. github etc.]", or sth more
than
that?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-13 04:55 mircea_popescu: but otherwise - i have here
this battery, contained in a
thin PET cover, ready
to do ~1,2 MJ at my command. go, construct battery, compressed coil, box of covenant or lavey's
teeth assemblage
that can do a mj and fit in a gallon.
mircea_popescu: yeah. just, i'm generally
too lazy for non-verbal arts.
Framedragger: and prolly retink
them laters as you relisten etc
Framedragger: 'cause you do have
to really follow and
think about
the concepts used in
the
thing if you want
to enjoy it beyond
the superficial-level "wow such pretty noise"
Framedragger: heh. i listened
to a weirdo almost-atonal musical piece yesterday by a friend who's doing sonology / electronic music (yeah such precise
terms, i know). it was fkin great, lots of effort but worth it methinks. but
then,
the point is
that
this also counts as 'interpretation', possibly
mircea_popescu: interpretation being just about
the only art worth
the
time.
Framedragger: heh, yeah, i see what you mean.
trilema allows for more elaborate.. structures
mircea_popescu: trilema's even worse,
there i have
the
time
to elaborately bait people. here i'm stuck with much shorter intervals.
mircea_popescu: makes perfect sense, which is why
the process of searching etc is worthwhile.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 15:53 mircea_popescu: Framedragger actually,
the process of creating github and
then confusing git for github, aka embrace and extinguish / "rms-ing" is also amply discussed in
teh logs :)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469423 fwiw but it's now much. i'm now convinced i had originally misinterpreted. at
that point i was assuming
that you had basically
thrown out git in your mind as useless as it had been
tainted with
too strong an association with github. if
that even makes sense.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger "" gives literal matches, otherwise words are or'd
together.
mircea_popescu: it proved
to be hands down
the #1 most productive learning
technique in
the harem over
the years. i expect it works universally.
Framedragger: how do i search for multiple words associated by OR, not AND? $s works for
this but btcbase's search doesn't, right?
mircea_popescu is always keen
to discuss later interpretations of what he actually said at some point.
shinohai: Don't worry, v and
t make github obsolete
Framedragger: regarding
the association: previously i got
the impression
that you
thought git and github are now being confused and hence best
to get rid of git and start anew anyway. maybe wrong impression
mircea_popescu: in such a situation we sometimes decide
to hammer a source into usability (such as, bitcoin, eulora, etc). but just as often decide
to write de novo. how exactly
this decision is made is not exactly specified.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger as
to your words,
the political association of git is at best with linus &
the linux folk, i dun see what it has
to do with github anymore
than sunsets have
to do with bad photography. but as
to
the actual issue : on one hand
there's a
ton of code
there ; on
the other
there's absent functionality.
Framedragger: this may sound like bait, but.... could you not just use signed commits in git, and enforce use of
those commits, and use `git blame`? is
the argument against
this
the usual "git is a shitload of code, best
to start anew [and also without existing political associations re. github etc.]", or sth more
than
that?
