ben_vulpes: the ink black is somewhat more light absorbent than the paper black
danielpbarron: i imagine it's to go with those metalic colored sharpie markers
adlai: is it black which soaks all other inks, or do you have some sorta gouach that can paint over it?
adlai adds this to the list of "music i know thanks to violent video games"
ben_vulpes: today i cover staff desks in black post it notes with pentagrams drawn on them
ben_vulpes: want to scrawl on black post its in black ink with me?
adlai blames the image similarity neural networks for reading his mind wrt the language (since half the channel probably didn't notice anything wrong with the first one)
ben_vulpes: nice to see you again tho
ben_vulpes: ancient trope adlai
asciilifeform: and speaking of, why has ussa not adopted the wonderful custom of playing 'swan lake' when politburo man dies ?
mircea_popescu: wait ... is pat moorhead married to a fellow named moorhead, who is the head of moor something or the other ?
asciilifeform: incidentally, i drove past it today, as every day, flags at half mast all week (herr scalia ?)
mircea_popescu: "best proof point windows maintains the favour of nazi hq"
asciilifeform: remember, this is how microshit eats.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same thing they were doing earlier with 10 million older solitaire stations !
jurov: you need hands-on win10 experience to truly savor such claim
jurov: "I see this as a best proof point for Microsoft showing that Windows 10 is certainly more secure than its predecessor and stable enough to be rolled out to millions of people," said Pat Moorhead, analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
mircea_popescu: da fuck are they doing with 4mn solitare statuions.

trinque: I'm happy to be human search while there isn't one
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would it be listed under that ooooooohhh
mircea_popescu: you know i just searched the page source for deedbot.org, deedbot.org/bundle-393434.txt not in there
trinque: but the db has the info which will make its way to the surface at some point
trinque: eh, not like it's easy to search through
mircea_popescu: which - i can't find any trace of any such thing on deedbot. which is ridoinculous wtf.
mircea_popescu: trinque it was the dividends for mpoe and bbet
trinque: I'll see if I can find what block happened near there
trinque: mircea_popescu: know what that might've been? dpaste garbage collected it
mircea_popescu: trinque there's something very weird going on with deedbot.org ? can you help me locate http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1371189 for instance ? ☝︎
gribble: Bitcoin address 1FundZy7m7b8begbh9haCguKJcAdFopRJ9 ...: <https://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/address/1FundZy7m7b8begbh9haCguKJcAdFopRJ9>; Introducing A New Bitcoin Foundation | Qntra: <http://qntra.net/2014/11/introducing-a-new-bitcoin-foundation/>; The Treasurer's Contract - The Bitcoin Foundation: <http://thebitcoin.foundation/treasurer_contract.html>
mircea_popescu: which is why all the derpage around anonimity, as if it were a thing.
mircea_popescu: humans are built upon identity. mooman's delusions of humanity are built on the perceived or constructed impossibility of identity.
mircea_popescu: quite the point.
asciilifeform strongly suspects that the very notion of ~identity~ is Ur-terrifying to monkey man
mircea_popescu: (we = me and trinque )
mircea_popescu: well sure. we're agreeing with you there.
asciilifeform: because this is a technology that only makes sense in wot planet
mircea_popescu: like everything else -dev does, but that realisation hasn't mostly struck yet.
asciilifeform: but point was, i bet monkey cannot actually conceive of the 'no hardcoded seed thing'
mircea_popescu: iirc he also turned it off when he realised it's actually bad for bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: (he's neither of these two)
mircea_popescu: you mean that ?
mircea_popescu: iirc bluematt had some sort of stupid thing to help the network lie about how connected it is
asciilifeform: yes (though this was not even the main lul)
mircea_popescu: sipa is the wuille derp
mircea_popescu: sipa!=peter todd ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: some monkey in the reddit thread
asciilifeform: actually thought, or pretended to, that we hardcoded the idiot sipa seed thing
asciilifeform: consider, for instance, the anon who 'who'll be laughing when peter todd changes hosting providers'
mircea_popescu: box gotta read the lolpics each morning.
asciilifeform: i think that a more elementary thing is at work - these folks literally can't imagine a box other than 'ubuntu', rathead, etc. with 'autoupdater' and the like
mircea_popescu: GOOOOO TEAM!
mircea_popescu: surely computers can't be better than hoomans ?
mircea_popescu: it's a deeply telling thing. THEY don't know what the fuck they are by themselves. why would a box.
trinque: how do you know who you are if nobody tells you? ☟︎
asciilifeform: (perhaps only funny to me?)
asciilifeform: the other lul from the thread was the people (?) vigorously denying that a unix box could run without ever invoking dns
asciilifeform: afaik all literate folk know about, e.g., the auschwitz inmates who collected scraps of german uniforms, etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but, as any rapist knows, the best thing for that trade is a ready supply of victims who will deny the deed. "i was never raped!11"
asciilifeform: btw gox is one possible candidate for 'did they ever fire the glass cannon' ?
mircea_popescu: and how badly the butt hurt once i fucked them raw.
mircea_popescu: this is plainly how you know who was behind upkeeping the scam,
asciilifeform: not sure what came after that, it was when i quit reading
mircea_popescu: it's not any sort of gallery. organised disinfo effort trying to take "mp said mtgox must die, bitcoin communitwerps opposed it, got beaten to shit over it" into its reverse.
asciilifeform made the mistake of looking at yesterday's reddit thread. barfalicious.
asciilifeform: i thought that was perl
mircea_popescu: you can take curl from my cold dead hands or how was it
asciilifeform: (the folks who laughed when i said 'no curl on trb build box' - still laughing ?) ☟︎
asciilifeform: hey i specialize in uselessly predicting crapocalypses years before they happen. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (left as an exercise for the reader, how.)
asciilifeform: oh one other thing, blocks really ought to live on a storage device where connecting tx outputs is a constant-time operation.
asciilifeform: last thing i will say for now on subj is - expect many more 'rowhammer'-like effects as desperate wunderwaffen attempts to resuscitate 'moore's law' explore new depths of fuhrerbunker desperation.
mircea_popescu: yeah but you don't want to keep changing things either
asciilifeform: doesn't need to be pre-baked at tapeout
mircea_popescu: aha. well... blocks from 0 to n-1 at any rate.
asciilifeform: but as far as i can tell, it is no longer manufactured in any serious quantity.
asciilifeform: blocks really oughta live on storage that doesn't measurably wear. luckily this was invented in the '70s, and is called antifuse rom.
asciilifeform: or rather, raid5 will prevent the machine from coughing up corrupted blocks, but enemy can still drive you into penury by inducing wear
asciilifeform: any of the off-the-shelf ones, as far as i can tell
asciilifeform: (it could, conveivably, be made to)
asciilifeform: in this case.
mircea_popescu: also - there's a reason ssd in raid.
mircea_popescu: no i meant - if something being more vapor than elbrus were possible
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite possible, try it
mircea_popescu: if that were possible
asciilifeform: (i can't recall if this was public, but IT IS NOW!111)
asciilifeform: recent discovery is that nand flash slowly self-erases from ~reading~
asciilifeform: jurov: these likes are from my recent attempt to locate a modern supplier of antifuse rom of reasonable density
jurov: only 250k chips needed to store blockchain
