asciilifeform: meanwhile in usg limba de lemn : 'This report is a declassified version of a highly classified assessment; its conclusions are identical to those in the highly classified assessment but this version does not include the full supporting information on key elements of the influence campaign.'

deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/in-which-a-bizarre-character-wanks-it/ << Trilema - In which a bizarre character wanks it.

lobbes: fwiw trinque I'm finding this !!ledger functionality to be a real sanity-saver. ty for implementing

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-03#1831528 << the latter worx. I'll keep a running credit for you and apply to future balances. But if at any point you want to cash in the credit for ecu (or BTC) I will. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( gyro, btw, demonstrably doubles as a mike, usg has a well-developed and afaik somewhat successful 'audio bug via pnoje gyro' thing )

a111: Logged on 2018-07-03 21:26 BingoBoingo: "La whiskería Luna Roja, denunciada por organizar una promoción con motivo del Mundial en el que sorteaba "una chica gratis" pidió disculpas por la iniciativa. A través de su cuenta de Facebook señalaron que lamentan el episodio y que no fue la intención "herir la sensibilidad de nadie""

asciilifeform: for instance, the days of desolderable microphone are coming to a close, on-die 'mems' mikes are coming.

asciilifeform: sad part is, thing really does have a gyro. but asciilifeform does not currently know what, if anything, the enemy fw does with the output.

asciilifeform: in other interesting rtfm's, 'The GNAT compiler supports dimensionality checking. The user can specify physical units for objects, and the compiler will verify that uses of these objects are compatible with their dimensions, in a fashion that is familiar to engineering practice. The dimensions of algebraic expressions (including powers with static exponents) are computed from their constituents.' (ch. 6.5)

trinque: for all anyone knows I'll be sitting behind the front door with a shotgun for 7 days

asciilifeform: the popularity of vpnism was always a puzzler to asciilifeform .

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-03#1831431 << looks like it indeed was a loose screw. reassembling the thing fixed the issue ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: but this aside, the "i will bless" africana is also present, and has been, for a long time. eg http://trilema.com/2013/a-deal-can-be-anything/#selection-27.0-27.105

asciilifeform pictures a N-height pile of these

asciilifeform: a la douchebag

asciilifeform: twist : what if was a hand-cranked mitm.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i am at a loss for prediction, aside from above

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you wanna write out a prediction, you got about an hour or so ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ill publish later a sad story, should make it obvious to you.

trinque: mircea_popescu: the invoice number thing is baked a little more deeply than what I just changed. what do you think of "!!pay-invoice lobbes" with no integer to mean "first received and outstanding" ?

mircea_popescu: there's been a definite uptick in schmucks trying to pretend they're me on fetlife. and i suppose similarly on obscure webshits i don't know about.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in barnum's 'suckers born erry minute', https://archive.li/3CVPx >> '...posing as admins, mods, or other key figures in the cryptocurrency world, posting messages that urged users to type a long command inside their Mac terminal, claiming to help with various problems..' etc

mircea_popescu: thereby freeing me from a) the need to dns-check and b) the need to communicate my kyc history every time i pay ?

trinque: yeah that's certainly a bug, will fix.

mircea_popescu: at first i looked for a weird bug that turns 010742 into 100800 ; buyt then it turned out he had already sent me an invoice, for that amt, back in oct 2017, which i re-paid

lobbes: diana_coman: ah yup. right you are. Error on my record-keeping end. I'll cancel that one and issue a new one later tonight

spyked: and in other http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812182 , I am happy to report that the may-june shithub harvest is over. sadly, I was about a month off in my estimations ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814257 ), a lesson for me to not trust initial figures: in the first days, my harvester was doing 3-4 keys/s, while a couple of weeks later teh githubs started rate-limiting, or worse, cutting off connections arbitrarily. ☝︎☝︎

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831425 <-- to add to the list of weird behaviours: ada "get char" function doesn't eat newlines, so when typing a number alone, say: echo "42" | ./test_repl , nothing'll happen. user must add an explicit space after the number. ☝︎

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831316 <-- I'd contemplated adding a small gc, but I gotta do some reading on the subj before making a decision. so it's still open to discussion, and I'll study the log threads while I'm at it. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: a damn, i bet this wasn't first invoice. aite ima look into this tomorro.

phf: like most chinatech this thing looks good only before you start touching it with a screw driver :/

mircea_popescu: hey, i have a dime out or w/e waiting for a guy who's gonna do it this month cuz prev month was busy or w/e.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did describe a theoretical 'bake pad-for-pad replacement for cr50' variant.

mircea_popescu: i would certainly not mind a "fuck you -- power control replacement" item just for the fuckshow of it.

mircea_popescu: and along these lines, i'll dispute your ~0 to show for it. there's two classes of (very important!) things to show for it. one class is that now when i tell amstan he's the repugnant son of a stupid whore, there's loglines backing it up ; and when we discuss google as an instrument of evil, also.

asciilifeform: i dun disagree with the 'no own power' thing, if i were designing a lappy i'd make it something like a https://archive.li/SAqOz , separate box for battery etc.

mircea_popescu: maybe there's a cut in between. anyway, as a matter of principle -- laptop may not manage its own power.

asciilifeform: well yes. it is possible to build something like a 1990s lappy. but not really out of ultraminiaturized crapple-style claptrap under microscope.

asciilifeform: li-ion battery is not mircea_popescu's edison ups , where all you gotta do to charge is apply a voltage. it eats pulse train, with thermometer feedback, etc crapola.

mircea_popescu: honestly, a replacement chareger dongle would be a very good thing.

phf: asciilifeform: right, and as far as we know right now cr50 doesn't have a remote/wifi access component. if it can't be wholly removed, maybe it can be "cut" (not necessarily by literally cutting the wire, but the direction of closing the plug hole)

asciilifeform: phf: pizarro cluster is running a ( pre-trinqueian, admittedly ) arm64 gentoo even nao

phf: tbh i assumed it was a lost cause around when cr50 was discovered. it's overall a worthwhile direction of exploration since i assume we're still gravitating towards an arm gentoo

asciilifeform: phf: i suspect this is a deliberate google retardation, thing has a gyro

phf: oddly, unrelatedly and annoyingly the device reboots when i put it down too hard on the desk. i'm not slamming it, just a bit harder placement, it power cycles...

asciilifeform wrapping up a very gnarly ffa surgery, >2x speed boost. thx to ave1 for the gnat clues.

asciilifeform: 'He seemed to try his FBI handler's patience when he suggested at the last minute that they switch from packing the explosives into remote-control cars and instead use a van.' << lol!!

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol i pictured BingoBoingo's flat as a sort of partizan lair, chairs made from ammo crates etc << Eventually.

mod6: that's a pretty solid interior decorating idea.

asciilifeform: lol i pictured BingoBoingo's flat as a sort of partizan lair, chairs made from ammo crates etc

BingoBoingo: tldr: I am trying to buy two chairs of a locally ubiquitous style. This vendor advertised a low price. They didn't come during the delivery window... or the next day.

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831382 << The big thing other than the statements and billing is ben_vulpes has done a lot of work managing the shared hosting machine. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Lot of news while I was looking for a water heater.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm spending a bit of time keeping her from walking across a highway, if that counts as "walking on you"

mircea_popescu: i'm a provedly inept manager for pizaroo.

mod6: Yeah, we're looking for L1, perhaps L2 if there is a good fit.

mod6: But more over, no, most roles you need to give a months notice or some such thing. It's not my preference, but what can I do?

mod6: ben_vulpes let us know that he needs to step back due to a family crisis. Not sure what more we can do, it's not ideal, but he's going to be wrapping up the report for June and transfering all of the rest of the information and other things to asciilifeform and myself.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831355 << dude, wake the hell up. you can't quit on a day's notice, what the fuck is this. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: wait a second, this is what, at will employment ? don't even have to put in a full year or w/e, can just walk whenever the fuck it no longer looks pleasant ?

mod6: I'll stand in as acting manager for the time being, but now begins the official search for a new pizarro manager. Please let us know if interested in the role.

mircea_popescu: if this were strictly true, nobody'd know what a bsod is.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, i'm just asking him things. i wasn't trying to wrap some tellings into a pretense to questions.

mircea_popescu: ada already has very strong bounds ~checks~. but if he's doing a whole adalisp, well...

asciilifeform: there are 3 basic cuts of gc. 1) simplest -- no gc. you cons N times, and you're through. this is actually practical ( see the last coupla gc threads ) for scripting lang, where proggy runs for a coupla seconds, on inputs of known size, etc 2) 'stop & copy'. simplest gc, implemented in 1950s-1970s lisps, and by erry student in school. proggy runs out of space -- stops, finds what is alive and what is dead via refcounting (circular r

mircea_popescu: (there's a lot of discussion of this topic in the logs, but to fish one example out of the many : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-03#1595771 ) ☝︎

deedbot: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/075-adalisp-prototype-ii.html << The Tar Pit - The return of the lost son of the father of adalisp, now in a genesis

mircea_popescu: ie, just like the seals directory, except the seals aren't binary but whatever, a number.

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 02:41 lobbes: with re: to curation, you could record the nick for everyone that submits a tag, then just allow others who view the tagged data to filter based on nick. (Other option of course would be a gpg challenge to submit a tag, but I doubt people will want to unsheathe their key every time they want to tag a thread.)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831265 << nah, the correct approach is to leverage the wot and the v. basically, allow user to give weights to tag authors, obtain a weighted average tag cloud per that spec. ☝︎

lobbes: anyways, I'm just spit-balling here. You might find a much better way to do all this

esthlos: I'd be happy to be the librarian, though could imagine a system where the bot allows trusted users to "push" summaries or tags. curation is a necessity, but I don't doubt others can produce much better summaries than I

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 01:52 lobbes: pretty nifty esthlos. Didja see the !tag thread btw? I always thought that would be a good way to approach the 'chronicle the logs' problem >> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-21#1437059

a111: Logged on 2018-07-01 21:22 asciilifeform: lobbes: iptables will work if you build the kernel ( there is a tarball with patched kernel on all pizarro rockchip boxen ) with the requisite flags

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-01#1831138 << ty for this info. Some of my research on subj. indeed hinted at 'rebuild kernel' but it would have taken me a bit more time to actually confirm this for myself ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 01:57 mircea_popescu: esthlos this then leads to the next stop, esthlos bot for reading out the content of a bullet :D

esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831241 << well I fell into that trap, huh! sounds like a good next project ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this may end up as a sort of modified/improved version of Framedragger_ 's original multi-line log select

mircea_popescu: esthlos this then leads to the next stop, esthlos bot for reading out the content of a bullet :D ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2016-03-21 07:43 mircea_popescu: hanbot mod6 maybe an extension to deedbot where people could go !tag <string> and then a collection of clickable tags is published somewhere, each leading to a list of loglines ?

hanbot: <mircea_popescu> hanbot you got copies somewhere ? << that'd've been wise, but i didn't think to make a copy.

mircea_popescu: "My attempted pace will be to read 4 days of logs every day (3 older logs, and the present log). The average log takes me about 30 minutes to read (including following links), and there's a bit over 900 logs to catch up on, so I'll be caught up in 300 days, working 2 hours a day. Starting late is a bitch, ya know." << i am SO FUCKING CURIOUS how this works out!

asciilifeform: i'd pay a coupla btc for a Trooly Working lappy. if such a thing, in some shangri-la, existed...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: overall it was, in 'doom' terminology, a '100% kills' trip, 0 unexpected anyffings, really

asciilifeform: even bought a lighter toothbrush..

asciilifeform: asciilifeform was on a mass-constrained mission, recall.

asciilifeform: i have a box with 2nd hole, but it's a modern i7 thing and ugh, and on top of this it weights like 4kg

asciilifeform: x60 dun have a 2nd hole

mircea_popescu: i got a bagful of batteries with every laptop anyway

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re battieries, i usually buy/carry a whole bag. whats actually needed is a dual-battery item, so you can hotswap them.

asciilifeform: i'll admit to having played a crappy www-based game thing where you learn jp, while waking up and the kettle is boiling, but that's the closest thing

mircea_popescu: (speaking of joni malkovich, isn't it a wonder the instagram kids aren't spelling it "ironiy" iet ?

a111: Logged on 2018-07-02 00:04 asciilifeform: whole escapade mostly succeeded so far in being a time sink for asciilifeform , and little else

asciilifeform: phf: yeah, great until you're on a plane, or worthless chinese orc-to-human mains adapter breaks ( happened to asciilifeform in BingoBoingostan ), or sitting on BingoBoingo's roof , or, or.

phf: i treat the x60 battery purely as a ups, which yes makes it pretty useless for travel. can break it out on amtrak or at a hotel that's pretty much it

asciilifeform: and it ain't as if the thing could run for moar than 2-3 hrs on a charge even when new.
