mircea_popescu: this is ~exactly like
the one where you "can't" build your blog rather
than obama's platform, because "commute" or whatever
the reason was.
mircea_popescu: that's
the large
thread :
that whatosever shall happen, it will serve
the state partly and
the republic fully ; without exception and without respite but apparent and momentary.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 23:59 asciilifeform: did mircea_popescu predict
that other nas gadgets will be found and i -
that
they won't ? or sumthinglikethat?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1475036 << leaving aside various minor points,
the large standing dispute currently is whether whatever bullshit "control
technology" has or has not meaningful impact on "free computing". and you're, unrepentently
to
the point of denial, on
the wrong side of it.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 23:50 ben_vulpes: aight maybe some naggum as well. but
there are extended discussions of political
time in
the logs.
shinohai: Do keep us apprised I may consider working one into lab budget at
that price.
shinohai: Case looks
to be brushed aluminum or something, appears well built.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474921 << did i miss
the part where
those 20 lines were all prefixed with
turns out mp's ideas about
the evolution of
the world were right ; and mine wrong ; and i really should chillax on
the paranoia score ?
ben_vulpes: aight maybe some naggum as well. but
there are extended discussions of political
time in
the logs.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: pm physically recoils, "jesus i didn't even
think about
that"
ben_vulpes: "much less figure out how daylight savings
time factors into
the problem. and how in which
timezone."
ben_vulpes: "because i do not have
time before our delivery deadline
to figure out
the millisecond offset between utc and n number of other
timezones, depending on how
thoroughly we want
to
test
this."
ben_vulpes: said something along
the lines of "and i have completely punted on
the issue of
testing whether or not events happen in
the right
timezone for
the user.
the
testing strategy is
to set
the user
tz
to utc,
the system
tz
to utc, and make assertions about when events fire."
ben_vulpes: i was discussing implementation minutae of a
timing project with my pm
today
Framedragger: and quite possibly run by a chinese mining cartel
to boot
a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 22:33 ben_vulpes: he also got
the order wrong
mircea_popescu: do you know why
there's no alf in russia, alf ? because
they shot all of you. for
this reason.

to snap one, as soon as camera charges)
a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 20:35 asciilifeform: so for 2x
the cost, you get ~2x
the juice.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474528 << goddamnit: read article; fail
to parse word ('edulcorously'); realise only
two google results are (1) ben_vulpes uttering
the word, and (2)
this
trilema artcile (the following day); end up checking roots of "edulcorate" (make something more acceptable or palatable)
http://imgur.com/85Iy0el mod6: whats
the approx cost on a deal like
this? $100?
mod6: ah sure, looks like
the same board.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> (recall, block index is RETARDEDLY kept resident in ram, being first leak) << yeah, getting
these into `t' for
the
trb project will be a big main priority once i get
tbot deployed.
mod6: <+asciilifeform>
the
two SEPARATE leaks
that we identified will have
to die. << werd
mod6: ah, ok, wasnt sure if any flashing needed
to happen
mod6: anyway,
this seems easier as one could just rip
the drive out, load up
the full orchastra on
the disk, drop it back in and you're ready
to go.
mod6: next
to
the ethernet port chassis,
the black
thing looked like a jumper.
the only jumper i see is next
to C149
mod6: oh nm.
thought
they were jumpers until i zoomed in
mod6: that for
the reset button
then?
mod6: ok cool, any info we can get on
the
thing,
the better.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> including
the uncommon mircea_popescuine one. << sweet
mod6: asciilifeform: awesome find, i'll
take a closer look at it
tonight for sure.
Framedragger: "They were bored
to death even with
their own
thoughts and dreams, bored with
the attack
they expected momentarily.
They were bored of being bored, and
too sick and
tired of being bored
to even consider not being boring. It's just not possible
to do, it exceeds human capacity.
Turns out
that when confronted with
the meaningless pointlessness of endlessness,
the inadequacy of
the muchly lauded human faculty of creativity becomes readily a
mircea_popescu: i recall
the fellow not digesting my pointing out
to him
that his calls, opinions ideas etc on some
topic he had nothing
to do weren't interesting ; dunno what exactly
the adherence was. maybe
this, yeah.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it wasn't bad really. i guess in
the end didn't gather enough momentum and we agreed
to end it ; but not without regret
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's actually in
the logs. mike_c had some
theories about bitbet and how it could be better, we
tried it out, on
the conway cell
thing. he made a very pretty looking game out of it.
gribble: mats was last seen in #trilema 1 week, 4 days, 20 hours, 49 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <mats> fun fact, canto people
typically have soup with every meal
mircea_popescu: "The vulnerability further bypassed Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience
Toolkit (EMET) protections. No comments from Microsoft were available at
the
time of
this article." for maximal lulz.
