BingoBoingo: A distict downside of transcontinental migration is that I can't open my copy of "Arms of Krupp" for insight atm
mircea_popescu: i dunno, just gave an example. understand, sea is made of concrete if you're falling into it from high enough. your perception of mechanical material properties is bound to low impulse, but things are different at higher speeds.
mircea_popescu: it's not soft at the speed cntemplated. more importantly, i suspect it's not friable
asciilifeform: i have nfi whether h2/o2 would make for a rifle that anyone dares to fire; but conceivably a-ok for 'infernal machine'.
mircea_popescu: may be just enough to fracture your chamber rather than propel your round. i never did teh maffs
mircea_popescu: i dunno how capable of maintaining 02 safely partizans even are, considering a) http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824489 and b) even molotov cocktails went out of business, as "too dangerous" (to the derps). ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-10-17 05:30 ben_vulpes: i am more interested in the "never get close enough"
asciilifeform: i thought usg police favoured machinepistols, with slow, blunt , unjacketed bullets, like the last reich
asciilifeform: hm, possibly the 'compatibility' is 1way. i dun recall exactly.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I was under the impression it may have been the new .308 (7.62 Nato)
asciilifeform: the brit -- i've nfi
asciilifeform: ( TT, i.e. 7.62x25 , incidentally, also goes through kevlar noprob )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-06#1839921 << BingoBoingo i'm not aware of any other historically significant '.30's ( unless you count mauser/TT short .30 ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway esthlos i know it's hard but srsly, don't give it up, it's entertaining and perhaps marginally even useful. "Hence I'm changing my base organizational approach and will be prioritizing the log reading above Keccak and other projects, to move towards the desired number." pfff!! ☟︎
diana_coman: I almost hoped to read "diana has trouble fucking the goats with eucrypt on musl cuntoo"
mircea_popescu: we've had a dead day! i had nfi!
a111: Logged on 2018-07-11 04:45 hanbot: esthlos it doesn't. footnotes source & instructions are in http://thewhet.net/2017/10/a-compendium-of-possibly-helpful-stuffs-for-erecting-mircea-popescus-wordpress-with-nearly-free-speech-hosting/ , and i've never actually taken on the selection jazz. i can tuck em both into next patch tho.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-06 19:33 diana_coman: ugh, on mp-wp I have avatars fine but I don't have footnotes?
asciilifeform: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/de/17/7f/de177fb5c8d3335765a672f096f0960b.jpg << subj : far left of photo. (middle : nato. right : 7.62 (pre-smallbulletism) kalash. )
BingoBoingo: Or any sks at all, so long as it's not a Chicom one (Clinton I regime weird)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm speaking from the 'oh noez my restaurant is going broke' 'have you tried not taking steaming shits in EVERY plate?' pov.
asciilifeform: i suspect nra would have moar subscribers if they refrained from http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-01#1561733 ☝︎
diana_coman: I'll dig and find out I guess
mircea_popescu: might require specific activation, i dun recall.
diana_coman: I have that and it ain't working
diana_coman: ugh, on mp-wp I have avatars fine but I don't have footnotes? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well, the old nixon hope, "ima claim i have"
diana_coman: I am moving my blog over to pizarro so I do need to change the ip; new ip is 161.0.121.198
asciilifeform: it's come to where i suspect that even bothering to look at the old coad, is a ~guaranteed waste of time, oughta go straight to knuth and blank page.
asciilifeform: recently i had a replay of this experience, went to look for fast fourier transform routine , in ada, ~same thing.
asciilifeform: not that i wouldn't like to live on the planet where there's a 'library of alexandria' of high-quality, well-documented coad, for the taking.
asciilifeform: ave1: recall in 2016, when i went to look for ada arithmetic lib, and found several, all of them immediately threw away, liquishit with variably-wide, heap-allocated bigints, and half MB or even heavier src
a111: Logged on 2018-08-06 17:44 ave1: asciilifeform, I remember the PAL page, went looking for the sources, treasure trove of dead links. Maybe something on the iso images at the evil archive: https://archive.org/details/ADA_-_The_Public_Ada_Library_Walnut_Creek_November_1997
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-06#1839829 << a yr or 2 asciilifeform would've balked at this pov, and iirc did when mircea_popescu first wrote it, but today i strongly suspect that the value of 'vintage coad archive' is most likely ~0. quite likely that little to none of it is written to my current standard of hygiene. ( and the effort to answer this q, is closely similar to the effort to simply write new programs... ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: i was thinking from 'truck fleet' pov, where depreciation is computed as a practical approximation to q of 'when will i need to buy new ones'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think it is only worth doing systematically if it can be done in such a way as to not require phd assembly line.
ave1: asciilifeform, I remember the PAL page, went looking for the sources, treasure trove of dead links. Maybe something on the iso images at the evil archive: https://archive.org/details/ADA_-_The_Public_Ada_Library_Walnut_Creek_November_1997 ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reading the depreciations thread, i remembered that it is physically possible to compute an 'exact' depreciation value for ssd drives, as they have 'odometer'. do you think this is worth doing systematically ?
ben_vulpes: i'm not entirely clear as to the benefits of depreciation under the tmsr accounting regime; most of my experience has to do with optimizing tax treatment in fiatlandia which is irrelephant here
trinque: http://sparforte.com/images/ken_headshot.jpg << "I'd fuck your kids, but I can't find my cock"
asciilifeform: i've been thinking about this: seems as if ~every~ proggy where author does not explicitly set objective of compactness, balloons like a midwest ameristani chix
asciilifeform: i think this is 1st time i hear about a shell in ada ( would be nifty to dig this up tho )
phf: asciilifeform: well there apparently used to be a unix shell in 1980s that was written in ada, i suspect it's not the gsh above, but something else entirely
asciilifeform: phf: can't say i've seen this before. but gnat does somehow run on winblowz, possibly this is how.
phf: asciilifeform: i saw somewhere suggested that there used to be a unix shell written in ada with some kind of ada like semantics, you know anything about that?
asciilifeform: phf: i seem to recall that it's a wgetism.
phf: asciilifeform: oh no i'm not about to start debugging the paste/webserver/download loop again
asciilifeform: ( i was diffing it and pulling hair and then realized the culprit )
asciilifeform: then i must've broken it on my end, will have to go over it with magnifying glass and find where.
phf: according to `mkdir t; cd t; wget --quiet http://ave1.org/code/zfp/v/patches/{zfp_1_examples,zfp_2_noc,zfp_genesis}.vpatch; for i in *.vpatch; do cmp $i ../$i || echo fail; done ` everything's fine
asciilifeform: phf: it is entirely possible that i made mistake somewhere. but worth checking.
asciilifeform: ( now , 1 possibly odd thing that i did, was to get the patches and sigs from phf's btcbase, rather than from ave1's www . perhaps these are broken somehow ? i'd like to diff'em )
asciilifeform: ave1: evidently i made mistake somewhere ? ( mod6 was also able to press, per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-05#1839758 ) ☝︎
ave1: asciilifeform, I just tried to press zfp_2_noc.vpatch with your python (v99, http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000160.html) and it pressed and built fine (with fresh download of the patches from my site, just to be sure).
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-02#1838943 <-- yes sir! I'll look into it this week. I'll start testing it in-chan once I have something working. ☝︎
jurov: mod6: ben_vulpes: i'm not criticizing, only nudging you to write your accounting standards down
asciilifeform: phf: i see it nao.
mod6: jurov: um, not sure? i would venture to guess that we depreciate monthly as it's possible that a piece of equipment might die before a year is up, or even come DOA.
asciilifeform: ( i'ma have to find out why. )
asciilifeform: looks like i am. 'zfp_1_examples' apparently. so this ~is~ shiva all over again.
asciilifeform: or hm, am i simply missing a patch ??
asciilifeform: ave1: pleeez make a real genesis ? so i can test this ? thx
jurov: So far I'm not doing depreciation at all. Only have to take care when an item is broken/sold, that the correct amount is subtracted from tangibles.
mod6: I've gotta run for a bit here, maybe later when you're availble we can go through calculating that customer equity. i did some adding, but I came up about 50% short. clearly missing something there. ☟︎
mod6: ok, so I've gone through this table, aside from the customer equity line, and it looks good.
ben_vulpes: yours, i mean.
mod6: the wildcat bonus is listed as '0.30487805'. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something above ^
ben_vulpes: i'll be back later
ben_vulpes: i'm here, we're close to the bottom. may as well finish it out.
mod6: thanks for stopping in to help fill in the gaps, I appreciate that.
mod6: go do what ya gotta do. i said I was gonna go through this whole thing, and learn some stuff.
ben_vulpes: mod6: what else troubles ye, i have other sisyphean boulders slipping back downhill as we speak
ben_vulpes: like i said, baseless aspersions
mod6: yeah, i noticed this before that it's not quite the same number as listed in netchange
ben_vulpes: i mean to say that the .3 btc was spent on usd, some fraction of which was not in turn spent on expenses.
mod6: so, i'm close now, but not quite, here's what I'm getting:
mod6: Yeah, didn't realize that I had to add in the number from the beginning of the month (end of last month), in this case "4.77078675"
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> i do not think that this coupling is necessary, however. a photo of the exchange rate from BingoBoingo at the same cambio on the 27th every month may be adequate. << This I can do
mod6: I'm on step 10.4 here... having some trouble.
mod6: I think I'm alright with that, again, if it's considered a "notional" number.
mod6: ahh, alright. i get what you mean. so it's a bit simpler to just get the forex number at the time of the statement, rather than having to old up the previous months statement until a BTC/USD price point is established.
ben_vulpes: i do not think that this coupling is necessary, however. a photo of the exchange rate from BingoBoingo at the same cambio on the 27th every month may be adequate.
ben_vulpes: the past two statements i have pulled that value from xe or forex.com at the time of statement generation. if you want to couple the UYU/USD price timing to that of the USD/BTC price timing, you'd have to hold off on issuing the previous month's statement until you have a btc price signal /for the month after the statement/, and then ask BingoBoingo what the uyu/usd rate is on that day in order to provide a
mod6: ok np at all, just trying to get the process of getting these numbers. take your time. i feel like I'm learning a lot here with all of this, it's super helpful.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-05 20:51 mod6: ben_vulpes: gotcha. any idea what number you used? This should go into my notes so I know to record the UYU/USD exchange rate at the time of the setting of the monthly price point.
ben_vulpes: mod6: i did not update that row after using the wrong conversion factor for fiat liabilities on my first pass; thank you for spotting that
mod6: i was just following your steps, and since it was actually in use, figured that maybe we just forgot about it.
mod6: ah, i see. ok.
ben_vulpes: can prorate depreciation if you'd like, i elected not to.
mod6: ok so now that i've figured out that cash number from the Assets table, there will still two other questions for you above ^ when you get a chance: the depreciation of UY3, and the sum of the book values.
ben_vulpes: mod6: for what it's worth, i twice audited holdings while generating statements and they both came out correct. i suggest you use the statement generation process (combing through ledger/invoice output) to generate statements first, and audit against your personal accounts as a check.
mod6: i honestly think that would be a much clearer accounting way to go.
mod6: i've thought about it. maybe further discussion around the topic will help change my mind.
ben_vulpes: book truth lies in the statements; it is useful to verify that the cash line is correct but i would use it as a check, not the starting point from which to generate statements given a) payment timing b) personal use of accounts
mod6: well, at lesat, until I send them to BingoBoingo, in which case, he might have his own subtraction he'll have to do. that's the messiest part of doing the pizarro thing through personal deedbot accounts.
mod6: it's the amount that mod6 himself had in his deedbot account before I was sent Pizarro's 6.21445021 BTC.
mod6: perfect, that's exactly the number I was looking for.
mod6: Anyway, take your time, I'm gonna keep going here.
mod6: im using your UYU value actually. (i'm only pointing out the differences, not using them in the calcs)
mod6: ben_vulpes: gotcha. any idea what number you used? This should go into my notes so I know to record the UYU/USD exchange rate at the time of the setting of the monthly price point. ☟︎
