mircea_popescu: what happens when you put "anyone" in your soup is you get a soup only "anyone" would ever eat, after
the fashion he eats it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the error of os is
that it predicates upon "anyone".
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller in
this sense
the first inch of any stake is pleasurable.
thestringpuller: the value of open source is actually negative << it didn't start off
that way...
the early 90's were an okay
time...
mircea_popescu: basically
they've poured 100k a head in "college education" so
that
thousands of
them
together can replicate
the brain of an amphibian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously. because you know, "ethereum hole" is no longer google-trending. so
therefore
they must have.
mircea_popescu: well,
this isn't going
to go anywhere, open source is a method
to bolt shut doors of stables after horses left.
mircea_popescu: not one bothering
to mention
that hey, i got inspired by mp, and look,
the prediction he made was in fact correct :
there WERE more holes. which circumstance clears any possible objection
to
the whole process being jealousy driven.
thestringpuller: Ironically, it'll be some Mt.Gox scandal arising from
that when you find out one of
the Slock.it developers was behind
the heist.
mircea_popescu: NOBODY fucking read it. not even
the
two idiots writing it.
then AFTER i publish on
trilema, suddenly it's sexy,
they get jealous of all
the exposure and find various other holes.
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
the whole "open source/free software" delusion has gone long enough ;
time
to
take it behind
the bikeshed and put a bullet in its brain. leaving aside
the entirely misguided communist nonsense of stallman, which is already discussed int he logs, look at what open source did for ethereum, since he mentioned it.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "copy/paste me but don't ever read me!" << *sigh* In fact
this just happened
today. Developer
tells me, "Hey copy
this snipped into
the codebase from github". I respond with, "Have you read
the code?"
They
tell me, "Nope. But it works!" So guess who is stuck reading
the code...
mircea_popescu: reydev he did in fact slap it
together himself ; more generally "open source" in
the general, github-y, "copy/paste me but don't ever read me!" sense is not much of a republican value. which isn't
to say
that you can't get at
the code, but it is
to say you can't expect
to just find it online. if you got questions, ask
teh lord in question.
thestringpuller: well you
technically don't have
to
trust
trinque. for
the people you've rated, you can just ask
them directly when you do gettrust about
the rating in question. so if
trinque did manipulate
the ratings in someway, people using
the web of
trust correctly would eventually uncover "the errors"
reydev: im kind of interested in
the implementation details, is it something he slapped
together himself or is it an open source
thing by any chance
reydev: ok, so one has
to
trust
trinque in a sense
reydev: so, where are
the web of
trust ratings stored by
the way... as in, who controls
the database
shinohai: wsj has weak paywall. Google headline,
then click result for paywall free experience.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, you want me
to gpgram you now or after?
mircea_popescu: "the $(cause du jour) needs $(aspie 14% group sponsoring
the article)"
reydev: does
this mean
the stuff carried over from assets
reydev: oh yeah, was a new WoT formed for
this channel?
reydev: anyhow, ive nothing useful
to add for now, ill do some catching up in
the logs etc...
reydev: seems like a missing piece
to
the puzzle
tho...
mircea_popescu: reydev not unless it looks like
the mage girls in your favourite mmorpg.
mircea_popescu: shinohai kinda why i put
this in
the open, so people can come up with a good name maybe.
☟︎ reydev: by
the way is
the republic planning
to ever have a standing army ^_^
shinohai: Church of Subgenius is registered church, why not
trilema?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's see about
that. either it's not
the case, in which case we now have a us church, or it is
the case, in which case we have yet another harpoon in
the whale's back.
reydev: kudos if one of you guys was really behind
the ether
thing
reydev: hey
this seems
to be kind of
the continuation of
the #bitcoin-assets chan right?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if
that's
true, we're exactly
the gang for it. match made in heaven.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 10:40 jurov: Why are you asking us about software?” is
the line
that Mr. Ng said he often hears from miners.
shinohai: trinque must have moved deedbot
to new home, seems a bit more responsive of late.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 12:51 mircea_popescu: i want you
to research
the legal status of a registered church in
the us, as well as
the practicalities of registering one.
this is a serious project, and i expect 100s of hours spent reading up on it. gpgram me about it.
shinohai: In other news, r/btc is celebrating
this morning imagining
that angry miners will soon adopt Classic and usher in
the fork.
☟︎ shinohai: For
the purpose of getting a designated shitting street named after Preeeeeet.
shinohai: I am seriously researching buying some cheap field in India for
this purpose
shinohai: lol yeah I actually was going
to put it up on bitfunder but naturally got rejected.
BingoBoingo: lol is
that an actual address you have key 4?
shinohai: ty BingoBoingo send donations for
the designated shitting street
to 1preetzHWEUfmGuW5ast5hMTJNYU1bmGo

☟︎ jurov: Mr. Wu and
the other mining pool operators in China have often seemed somewhat surprised, and even unhappy,
that
their investments have given
them decision-making power within
the Bitcoin network. “Miners are
the hardware guys.
trinque: then perhaps also whatever
thinger is running your proggy
trinque: ben_vulpes: 413 Request Entity
Too Large
trinque: k lemme copy
teh data down
to dev box
ben_vulpes: intrigued
to see what
the response looks like.
trinque: both use
the same "throw
this here paste at mr ben_vulpes" function
trinque: ben_vulpes: ey is
there a max size of a paste?
trinque: ah derp it's
the paste uploader barfing.
trinque: it's bitching about
that. after which I will have a $wot command
that pastes
the whole
thing
trinque: phf: how do I get prin1 (or something more sensible)
to barf an sexp with a euro symbol in it?
trinque: two new commands
that dump sexp data:
phf: so if anyone wants
to swoop in and implement it
phf: and
THEN i'm going
to do wot
phf: and
then i want
to make search case-insensitive, which
turned out
to be iffy with boyermoore
phf: i have a backlog of making bot pull from backup logger in case of disconnect, which is
the last bit before auto-reconnecting-bot
trinque: lol, I didn't say
this was pretty sausage
phf: i don't want
to know! it's much nicer when
the whole
thing's in memory :>
trinque: for gettrust I just join
the same
table
twice
phf: you kind of need
to write a graph walker, and since you're doing it in sql, i don't even know how
to make it not suck
trinque: yeah
that's what I'm going
to do instead
trinque: I put
the blame on us ending up with
the idiotic web, REST APIs, and etc squarely on IRC having been designed by monkeys
trinque: would
take minutes for some of us
trinque: I was going
to add commands
to dump inward and outward reputation for a given nick, but neh
phf: i'll spoil it for you, ""Contrary
to what we expected, masking gender had no effect on interview performance"
