mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno about his nonsense. every (admittedly, large, expensive) boat i've been in had detachable pannels. you first take the shit OFF, then fuck with the pipes gauges etc in the normal manner. yes it takes 3x
as long
as if you were doing house plumbing, but that's about it.
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as "why is e < 3??" "no reason" in nature, and from there in engineering. there isn't really such a thing in society, and from there in culture.
mircea_popescu: the basic, and really only, rule of hermeneutics is : that then you've understood a text when, far from its shortcomings appearing inexplicable errors, they become the actual pillars upon which the damned thing is constructed, and what originally seemed to you sensible and structural takes its true place
as accidental.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: you should read the poetry of the time, they were pretty drunk on a sort of adolescent male idealism perhaps best rendered
as sportsfan-hiphop in today's terms.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the code || ideology parallel should be pretty obvious. yes people run other [from their wot] people's text, but this is neither obligatory nor particularly encouraged. on the contrary, with ideology
as with code
as with "wot maintenance best practices" and
as with any other text, heterogeny is the key to victory.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "In addition, for those interested in keeping their tokens from the losing blockchain
as a keepsake, we will support a one-time withdrawal of the deprecated tokens, provided that the losing chain is still functional when you attempt a withdrawal. Specific instructions on how to access your tokens on the old chain to follow."
mircea_popescu: not that it's much of a concern, there's exactly ONE customer doing eth on poloniex. but
as a theoretical thing.
mircea_popescu: something that may appear
as a subcase but i believe is not (not that the dispute is all that relevant) and in any case is more numerous is the jwz : the fellow that "just wants to" keep right on being lazy.
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 to operate
as normal during
☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: aha! hey might
as well start with this, sounds good - thanks for the idea
Framedragger: asciilifeform: so
as an example of "given [directory/file] structure, allow sane access"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 18:01 jurov: you actually tried lynx?
as we are speaking, it claims to read 30MB, at 340KiB/sec, and the keeps getting down
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 00:29 asciilifeform: it is known to me, for instance, that usg is presently spending stupendous sums on 'biometric' profiling of typing pattern, for
as many victims
as possible.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ssd would help much on that machine i'd suspect, if it's really i/o bound,
as simplistic
as it sounds
mircea_popescu: going back to history for a minute here - at first there was the text internet ; and then
as bw and hdds grew up and people could have gifs of samatha fox's snatch rather than ascii art of same, they all rushed to... basically, this shitfest of netscape, internet exploder etc.
trinque: thing's written such that it would hop atop gossipd and provide commands just
as easily
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform once there exist
as many
as five proper pages, you can have a proper browser.
trinque: it can be used
as no more sophisticated a thing than a cmdline tool that shits text
mircea_popescu: trinque basically, it should be conceptualized not
as a "this is a sheet i printed this and that on" but more like "what'd you like in your plate here ?"
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally, i suspect the entire website model is dumb
as presented. currently, under pressure from ustards/business majors/other unwelcome masses, a website is a collection of webpages that is very similar to how a tv show is a collection of tv frames. MAYBE they'll let the user have a tivo, but that's at the most.
mircea_popescu: if you build alf a web tool that looks and feels like whatever apple doohickey he fell in love with
as a kid, he'll love you long time.
mircea_popescu: for instance, it'd evident we want : a) csv, for to grep ; b) tmsr-html, which is NOT html, and not just because it does not allow js ; c) tmsr-svg, which i'm going to pretend is svg, because gnarly. somewhere inbetween b and c a latex fits in
as previously discussed in logs.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the borders are fluid, the "data dissemination" part can just live
as a "this is the official tmsr web package ; install it like so ; it's maintained by these people ; it does these things we want exactly right and no more"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 17:09 jurov: and it's questionable why export it
as html, when browser can't be used and we have to grep it anyway?
Framedragger: i meant that i supplied them to you
as one key in one file. but yeah kk
Framedragger: jurov: oh you mean it
as counterargument, it reading from hdd on phuctor. i thought, from local hdd
jurov: you actually tried lynx?
as we are speaking, it claims to read 30MB, at 340KiB/sec, and the keeps getting down

Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey i may be up for setting up some kind of searchable thing with everything dumped into postgres. not sure how much worth vs. time, but could be useful
as these stats grow
jurov: and it's questionable why export it
as html, when browser can't be used and we have to grep it anyway?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: alternatively, nobody could foresee the terrorists will use ssh keys
as rsa unifying underlying, so they're entirely unprepared for any of this
mircea_popescu: i would say
as a matter of policy we should immediately hijack, copy and completely wipe these boxes.
mircea_popescu: he tells himself this is a stepping stone to a carrier
as congress gofer - where he'll suck his boss' cock and do the same thing to "laws"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-17#1504265 << i suspect by now the "3d printed gun" is moreover useful ; afaik work is underway to the typically ustarded pivot of "we're not forbidding weapons - only working ones ; you can still have 3d printed plastic shit! it'll be just
as good
as the real thing for what you do with it anyway, which is to say jack off".
☝︎ reydev: while i'm up, can i ask wrt qntra, is it meant to be non-profit?
as in, is the idea that shareholders are like sponsors?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for
as long
as they have the sense to stay out of the reach of the fortress that sunk teh ether-dao, they'll be fine.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-18#1504568 << the impalement is inescapable. i simply object to the notion of sparing the hardware they built - it is every bit
as insidiously and infectiously idiotic
as all of their software creations.
mircea_popescu: i can't quote the item for lacking a title ; romanian copies are curated and collected by ioan ursu
as "historia turchesca 1300-1514), editura academiei romane, 1910 - where it's found at page 91 and urm.
mircea_popescu: especially his discussion of kqueue and the hashtable/array duality + fd_getfile workings strictly indicates a) he's an idiot ; b) that
http://trilema.com/2016/cargo-cults-a-case-study/ 's "This is what cargo cultism is, you see : memetic stupidity, inescapable for the aculturated. Even if they try. Especially if they try." is exactly right and, sadly, c) that alf is exactly correct : we can't have computers
as a continuation
mircea_popescu: (and
as a general rule, never read a summary unless you own the producer.)
mircea_popescu: my evaluation of it was "rewrite" rather than "import" fwiw. but unlike tor, i have no beef with it
as of yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imagine for a second such a thing
as a proper controlled-by-owner-computer phone existed.
Framedragger: (incidentally K&R (
as everyone here of course knows) included shitloads of hurtful idiosyncrasies and plain mistakes, not that this would be unexpected - just lulzy.)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: actually with pgp you'll just end up trusting your much dreaded aes256 since openpgp will do the whole 'session' thing
as you know
mircea_popescu: hey, i made nitrocellulose in my kiddy lab, the "unstable
as all fuck" thing was a bonus
mircea_popescu: absolutely run of the mill mitm attack - you credit erdos' ip, which results in a market for "erdos-like ips" which people buy FOR THE REASON that they ARE NOT erdos ; but wish nevertheless to get your packets sent over
as if they were.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, re temperature : this is trivial for the box! there's this "weapon" idiocy of a beam which heats water in skin. not too practical
as deployed, but perfectly usable in box - low latency.
mircea_popescu: from bmi 30 onwards, each lb of fat carries the same excise
as 1 ton of gasoline.
mircea_popescu: does "we take them out back and shoot them if there's any sort of an emergency" count
as a plan ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 00:57 mircea_popescu: actually a proper, accelerometer based, precision instrument (glove ?)
as described here seems a required item, thinking about it.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
as phf can no doubt tell you, only orcs vocalize /ʎ/
as /ʃ/. and the worst kind, too.
mircea_popescu: (similarly argentines don't read ll/y properly, but
as sh instead. hence /saˈkate la moˈʧiʃa/ instead of the god given /saˈkate la moˈʧiʎa/.)
mircea_popescu: this is what hillary & friends at state perceived
as their "nuclear option".
