mircea_popescu: it wouldn't necessarily be over irc, though irc IS rather resilient and we get the benefit of bootstrapping a major irc network if we bake it in
ben_vulpes: "open socket to 127.0.0.1"
mircea_popescu: ie, uci admin thing advertises what it does, gets an order.
ben_vulpes: i don't have a good enough model to propse anything yet, hence the questions
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i would expect there'd have to be a management language for this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, feel free to propose refinements, ima edit it.
ben_vulpes: how would someone in the wot interact with the uci; operation by operation over irc? shoop a script in uciasm for execution and billing upon completion?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it already takes carr of comms and storage...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that would close the triangle
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes read from and write to yes
ben_vulpes: and per 'storage', be able to read from that socket and write bytes to disk, for example
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: speaking of uci, ever consider generalizing luby's algo to ~calculation~ ?
mircea_popescu: it must be capable to open a socket i think.
mircea_popescu: shinohai meh, crappy rum crappy girl an wtf is with those ties.

BingoBoingo: I dunno I'm thinking about a "weather" category nao
mircea_popescu: lol yeah, didn't mean for qntra. just mentioned it because it seems to me the "isis" figthers were ru special forces. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: If we try to cover all of these qntra is going to have to add a "weather" category for them
shinohai: It shows order went through manual but no receipt jurov
jurov: shinohai: you can retry now, looks like the error was on my side
jurov: trinque: thx
trinque: jurov: teh command is $deed
BingoBoingo: Rule #97 Every MPEx proxy is always inaccessible from some point at some time

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> borosilicate glass tubage of any diameter you wanted was ~40 cents per kg. << What about 8 meter borosilicate for Venusian culverts?
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/since-what-you-do-all-day-is-jack-off-anyway/#comment-93555 << in other antique trilema lulz, check out what people didn't make a bitcoin for.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 18:48 hanbot: asciilifeform didja learn their variety speak? or figure it's a fluke (i thought theory was wrong demo)?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494360 << my bet would be that no, because easier :D ☝︎
asciilifeform: dealing with bugmen begins with trust-but-verify.
mircea_popescu: it's always a little disappointing when i hit the last lines of the logs ;/
asciilifeform: at any rate, this is not simply a usaschwitz problem, if ANY of you buy chinese glass-anything, there ain't no boron in there.
mircea_popescu: so i posit to you that your problem is not even slightly a matter of "wrong knife", along the lines of, "if only i had hyfdrofluoric acid - could melt glass", but more of low energy. you wish to amass moar power not more knowledge, to dent teh pot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i offer the knife whereby we cut them off, like defective siamese twin, from actual people.
jurov: well, ask for 'borosilicate kettle acc. to ISO standard'. and get some degree burns and sue them and get rich
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is a chick contorting herself in an insane position so her own urine dribble falls in her own mouth while some standing guy is also pissing in her mouth.
asciilifeform: jurov: it helps with 'i walked in here to buy borosilicate kettle'
asciilifeform: dafuq is that, arse-mouth-system ?
mircea_popescu: more women use king.com apps than any sort of glass vessel! 10:1!
mircea_popescu: speaking of folks, here's a handy visual to explain the concept http://66.media.tumblr.com/e04a4eb96aecadff52219a05575fd1a8/tumblr_ng9qc75iM91shqa8eo1_400.gif
asciilifeform: not same thing.
mircea_popescu: folks can test in 3 seconds "social media" site of "their choice" is neither , nor secure.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 18:34 hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494134 << there's always minigod, neh?
asciilifeform: would put some fear of god back into the fuckers, if folks could test in 3sec.
asciilifeform: so: trust but verify.
asciilifeform: at one point trademark at least strongly implied 'same thing your grandfather had'
jurov: so I think it's just some UStards latched on "pyrex" and are rightly milked by brand owner
mircea_popescu: a ok then.
jurov: SIMAX glass claims to comply to ISO 3585 standard for borosilicate glass,
mircea_popescu: or if you mean the other thing, eu, good, krama, alloy. same linguistic principle as eutectic, (teksis = melting).
mircea_popescu: jurov it's not just that it's "glass with borax in it", much like steel isn't just "iron with carbon in it"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:44 shinohai: There was local "law-enforcement" advisory in the area once, asking citizens to report suspicious buyers of old glassware at yard sales.
jurov: it's perhaps just brand blindness that borosilicate glass ==== pyrex
jurov: and apparently it's available in the US: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=SIMAX+glassware
jurov: i did not do them yet
shinohai: o/ jurov my coin.br account isn't reflecting monthly fees? Or do you add those manually?
jurov: i dunno wtf is this all about. here borosilicate glassware like this is cheaply and widely available, i use it every day, it's suitable even for open flame http://www.panvice.sk/kanvica-svatava-1-5-litra-simax.html
ben_vulpes: quality is also expensive, and if the engineers not managed, can readily turn into an unbounded downside cost.
mircea_popescu: borosilicate glass tubage of any diameter you wanted was ~40 cents per kg.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:39 asciilifeform: incidentally before the invention of borosilicate glass, it was customary for chemists to blow their own labware.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the world works.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:27 asciilifeform: (the owners of the trademark are cashing in, in the familiar american style, by selling exploding junk glass instead)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494310 << no because progress. tempered lime crapola is "just as good". PARETO SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE!!11 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ahahaha that's more like guatemala.
trinque: I guess now if you went in it'd read "from his pair of shoes he was trying to sell"
mircea_popescu: if i were a younger, innocent verision of myself, like the quoted alf has the unspeakable advantage of being, i'd disbelieve this story.
hanbot: the guy actually took out a second lace from a pair of shoes he was trying to sell and gave me that one to go with.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:31 asciilifeform: and if you ask mircea_popescu it is difficult to get so much as a stapler in buenos aires
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494318 << speaking of which, i went into a shoe repair shop here the other day for laces (which are not sold in shoe stores, mind you). they had one. not one pair, one shoelace. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how to take usg seriously ? explain this to me.
mircea_popescu: them, and not pleading in favour of their intelligence, organisational importance or general sanity : they captured some black chick that shat her unwanted baby in a toilet and flushed. THIS is a "top 10 fugitive".
mircea_popescu: and in other incredibly postmodern lulz : https://archive.is/zhCZf << postmodern art must be translated, so : fbi.gov has a banner roller just like any wanna-be "news site^Hmedia property" of the "mainsteam" variety. on this roller, because they apparently ran out of photographs or photography, in the age of the most abundant photographism, they have a picture of a lcd screen. that lcd screen depicts material originated from
mircea_popescu: that cost the us 100 bucks, there's ten "this is a solved problem" idiocies that cost 100 mn each.
mircea_popescu: for every "go to college" piece of bad math and general ineptitude (see http://trilema.com/2014/a-practical-exercise-for-people-who-cant-afford-airfare/ << btw, took me 5 minutes to fish this out, because apparently google filters out any searches related to airports, planes, etc from site:trilema.com type searches thank you tsa, you've clearly helped LOTS!)
mircea_popescu: the true sin is that it pretends to seal off all sorts of good parts.
mircea_popescu: t. it is not only, and not principally, and arguably barely at all the sin of inept us management that it drives the productive forces of its slave empire into dead ends.
mircea_popescu: "When a technology matures into a cash cow and then grows old, research into subtle undiscovered potentials abates in the name of cost-cutting. The neon sign has been common for a half-century and more. It is obvious that nothing remains to be discovered. There is no further technology to evolve, there are no new art forms to explore, there is no possible cross-fertilization with other disciplines" <<< al has an excellet poin
mircea_popescu: anyone actually tried that ?
mircea_popescu: o holy shit the uncleal link. casimir effect ?! bejesus.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494309 << no because couldn't be transported and also minimum wage. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's nothing the us can make that the thirld world needs and couldn't make. kinda why we're here in the first place, libertards ruined "the civilised world".
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:25 gabriel_laddel: Not especially, but was brainstorming products to sell in SA (south america) that are a PITA to get into / create here in the USSA
