mircea_popescu: granted this may just
as well be me being patently insane.
mircea_popescu: you gotta, it was in ru in the 90s just
as well
as in ro and so on.
phf: i have hard time keeping track of when i have various appointments, so i use an external "agenda" app. i'd be
as well served by a paper calendar

as an organizer, and i still can't get used to the fact that it looks ~good~ in direct sunlight. like it's some amazing novel technology
mircea_popescu: and
as its survival is actually its only paramount value (recall george costanza in the fire scene ? "without leaders we'd all be lost! i had to survive" - life
as supreme value perversely translates to, perpetuation of socialism state at expense of all life), it WILL at some point spontaneously recrystalize from "modern democracy" socialism to national socialism.
trinque: but seems to always be considered
as leviathan
mircea_popescu: can just
as well exist
as "fascist" version of socialism.
mircea_popescu: everything is a possibility that wasn't visible
as one. the only things that never happen are the perceived alternatives.
mircea_popescu: "how much would you pay me for information that prevents destruction of $1mn worth of materiel ?" us army : "3% of total damage
as evaluated by us" ru army, in general "150% of maximal damage" and on the day before invasion, up to 1mn% of same.

as a category; it barely defines anything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno if you recall buterin's humble beginnings
as a "bitcoin magazine" gofer ?

as 'transparencee' caters directly to teh aspie crowd, the kind who fancies himself genre savvy without really being so. the victim of 'taught controversy', if you will.
mircea_popescu: you also don't
as a matter of principle need or want
https. you might notice trilema redirects you to
http pete_dushenski: ie. not the high watermark so much
as a tenuously related shadow of the thing itself

☟︎ diana_coman: hm,
as far
as I know it should be able to pin the part/shape based on position+pressure and then I don't see indeed why wouldn't it be able to react to turning the pen - maybe it's a precision thing?

mircea_popescu: it's the case amoeba in an agar fell upon some grains of sugar and are now taking their approximate shape,
as perceived by amoebic senses
Framedragger: each comment saved

As far
as the "V Mirror" thing, that I know alf hates, I move forward on the basis that one doesn't have to use it, even though it is there. This may not be ideal, but it's bridge between both "easy" and "manual"
mircea_popescu: this statement has nothing to do with reality and no power over it. all it does is, it identifies the speaker. identifies him
as a roman.
mircea_popescu: they do have a point, euros can stand
as no basis for resource allocation ; and the euro legal system has absolutely no business intervening in this sort of dispute.
Apocalyptic:
as for try it yourself, I believe my time is better spent elsewhere
Apocalyptic: Saying they no longer have the code,
as it's been 10 years
Apocalyptic: see the paragraph I'm referring to, and they even posted benchmark results
as graph for collision resistance and preimage problems
Apocalyptic: jurov: well i'm all ears
as to why it isn't

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mod6: I do tend to favor that,
as opposed to signing my own death warrant.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-14 02:06 mircea_popescu: (i'm not saying you're making a mess, i'm just saying - we're stuck with all this grandfathered in bullshit, such
as boost, openssh, who the fuck knows what else even. qt ffs.)
mod6: The one staring me in the face is this: If we place them in trb's tree, we'll be adding vpatch after vpatch to the source base to update the makefiles
as they require to be updated. Having them in their own tree could elimiate cruft in trb.
mod6: i think you have the same idea
as i've been pondering...

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yeah what i;m thinking is, since this "we gotta import crap" thing is going to continue, might
as well put some sort of deed process into it
mod6: Will provide further updates on the makefiles project
as I have them. Stay tuned.
mod6:
As far
as the Makefiles are concerned, we're having good success there (other than the remote sites for the deps), and will probably be making the same deedbot.org updates to that
as well.
mod6: So I've updated the forthcoming V99994 to pull these from deedbot.org
as opposed to their respective places out in the tubes.
mircea_popescu: me has had plan drawn up to include small donation to verboten list in all txn processed for what, 3years now ?
as anti-this pill.
phf: right getting identical environment
as far
as gcc is concerned
Framedragger: (oh, and 1. will sign a checksum at some point (soon); and 2. the tarball contains three compressed files which expand into three dirs, with ~600k files per dir; one file = one openpgp key, same
as last time)
mircea_popescu: if it's not worth hitting with a ~$1k rocket, it's sure
as fuck not worth hitting with a ~200k railgun shot.

as it recently came out in debate with alf, diesel generators get ~40% efficiency if large enough (closer to my guess than yours! ha-HA!) ; depending on the coil design the resulting electricity will be transferred to projectile somewhere around 1 to 5% efficiency. to go higher air-cored assemblages are excluded because of the high reluctance of the damned
Framedragger: and prolly retink them laters
as you relisten etc
Framedragger: heh. i listened to a weirdo almost-atonal musical piece yesterday by a friend who's doing sonology / electronic music (yeah such precise terms, i know). it was fkin great, lots of effort but worth it methinks. but then, the point is that this also counts
as 'interpretation', possibly
Framedragger: mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469423 fwiw but it's now much. i'm now convinced i had originally misinterpreted. at that point i was assuming that you had basically thrown out git in your mind
as useless
as it had been tainted with too strong an association with github. if that even makes sense.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in such a situation we sometimes decide to hammer a source into usability (such
as, bitcoin, eulora, etc). but just
as often decide to write de novo. how exactly this decision is made is not exactly specified.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
as to your words, the political association of git is at best with linus & the linux folk, i dun see what it has to do with github anymore than sunsets have to do with bad photography. but
as to the actual issue : on one hand there's a ton of code there ; on the other there's absent functionality.
mircea_popescu: we'll discuss stability afterwards,
as a sign of me not thinking i'll have to.
mircea_popescu: by and large for every 100 J worth of gas you're putting in, you're getting out ~1J of ~muzzle velocity~. then
as ben_vulpes pointed out correctly you lose most of this to air friction (longer range ? MUCH MORE FRICTION!), so you deliver maybe 1kJ or 2 per MJ expended.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-13 04:32 mircea_popescu: mats it's very hard to beat plain and simple fire-air bombs. you gotta put electricity through coils to make the projectile go magnetically, electricity which you got from a combustion generator in the first place.you're about five transforms away, might
as well just put the same gasoline in a bottle and throw it at the enemy.

☝︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: and so long
as there is o2, it *will* burn.

☟︎ mats: i wonder how useful it is
as a bunker buster
ben_vulpes: at that point, you may
as well save on fab and engineering costs and submerge a hydrogen gun right under the water
mircea_popescu: what the fuck are these people thinking ? they're seeing themselves
as some sort of 17th century naval artillery dudes, firing kugels at one another ? there's nothing kinetic about weapons in use today, they're all thermic.
mircea_popescu: but i sure
as fuck am not putting American Squarejaws and his Love Interest in there
mircea_popescu: i took it
as far
as actually having to make a decision, and is stuck now. do i introduce a hero ? do i make it what ?
