mircea_popescu: 170kW farm, double the nethash. just as rewards halve. should be fun, if they actually got the chips. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: punkman well, the cool part depending for whom doing what. i have no objection, all that sugar&spice is nice to have, but i don't think it mandatory, myself. the main utility is creating a copy of a resource (as in url) that is outside of the control of its original author. i'm more than happy if that is provided in the first place and the rest of the swag on a best-effort basis.
assbot: Bitcoin business Butterfly Labs, shut down as ‘bogus,’ settles charges for $15,000 | The Kansas City Star ... ( http://bit.ly/1mX5N8K )
punkman: "The FTC provided a copy of an originally sealed document that outlined the spending it said was cause for concern. It said Butterfly Labs’ funds had been spent at stores “including Nordstrom, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Restoration Hardware, and Hobby Lobby” as well as for “massages, auto maintenance, day care services, gun stores, hunting stores and sporting event tickets.”" ☟︎
punkman: "mircea_popescu: however a lot of leeway is available re shitty sites. i honestly couldn't care less what "functionality" is lost through js being discarded out of hand, for instance. << archive.is (as a browsing tool) seems useless without javascript, might as well render the page in lynx/dilla/modern browser with js disabled.
mod6: is there such a thing as adhd in china? if a kid just wont do stuff or doesn't pay attention they just hit you with a stick no?
asciilifeform: would make as much sense.
mod6: I think they used to teach this SICP directly as the first programming class at UofM - used it as a weed-out course.
mod6: so in "foo.scm" i have defined a "square" procedure, but in (oblist), among everything else, its listed as: (square char-ci>=? cddddr expt)
mircea_popescu: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/archive.is << half the world sees it as 46.17.100.191, the rest sees it as 37.97.156.202
shinohai: Afraid she was going to die, as if obesity and diabetes are the *least* of her worries.
pete_dushenski: http://qntra.net/2016/02/tor-and-http-gzip-leak-local-time-zone/#comment-46961 << damn straight a tmsr proerpty is 'worse' than reddit. meaner, leaner, nastier, and all the other libertard 'worse' boxes are rightfully ticked. just as it should be.
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2016 21:17:59; mod6: i'll try that. (im just playing with tinyscheme on its own, outside of shiva/bitcoin) -- figure its a good idea to use THIS interpreter as opposed to some other one/lisp.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413705 << you can actually build shiva's scheme as standalone. ☝︎
phf: mod6: i think so, as long as you're still in repl. i think that's tinyscheme's specifics (i.e. last token is #<eof> and that's what load returns, but i'm not sure)
danielpbarron: also lost a lunch out of it as it went out in the middle of my rice and chicken cooking
mod6: i'll try that. (im just playing with tinyscheme on its own, outside of shiva/bitcoin) -- figure its a good idea to use THIS interpreter as opposed to some other one/lisp. ☟︎
phf: ben_vulpes: mit scheme is not the same as tinyscheme
mircea_popescu: bonus points, the beaten end's called "flower", you know, as in "deflower".
BingoBoingo: Also it is advertised as being in the north (polish) as opposed to south (Obama) side of Chicago
jurov: interesting, as if 400 eur was psychological threshold
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413437 << the first run of scheme81, as often is the case, were duds. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent log readers : what happened in syria was that obama went in pretending he is the head of a powerful nation ; putin went in as the actual head of a powerful nation. when the difference between these turned out to be an actual thing in the field, obama whipped out the checkbook, started offering bribes to the locals to hold up signs and shit reading "obama is a real stud". those guys took the money and
mircea_popescu: yet another nominal us "ally" to meet a gruesome fate in the field when the posturing six year old for some reason dressed as a very tall nigger gets called to supper.
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2016 05:25:55; phf: random lulz, sussman signed scheme-81 chip, sold as art. https://www.artsy.net/artwork/gerald-sussman-scheme i think it was listted at $1500, but i can't quite recall. i assume buyer would not try putting it on a breadboard..
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413416 << and why not ? i've put sluts on a breadboard that i had originally purchased as art ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: rather optimistic, a deleverage factor of 1000:1 seems lowball. but then you have to account for the general ghetto dweller's disinclination to put up with "school" as an adult.
mircea_popescu: 02/10/2013 - FORCE attempts to create an account with Bitstamp using identification documents in the name of his DEA-issued undercover identity (Nob). Bitstamp's verification process rejected these documents as not genuine. FORCE there after provided Bitstamp with his own personal identification documents.
mircea_popescu: and, to best establish the fame as well as the intellectual wherewithal of the famous "grab me and my bag" force - here's the cannonical example : \
mircea_popescu: context for the innocent : the carl force iv derp writes from one of the numerous troll accounts on sr to ulbricht derp. it's not clear whether he's doing this thinly veiled attempt at psychology on behalf of his employer or as an independent contractor working a little moonlight, but
mircea_popescu: look here : "DeathFromAbove writes to DPR, "It's not that easy [AA]. I'm legit. Green Beret. Friend of [C.G.]. I have access to TS/SCI files that FBI, DEA, AFP, SOCA would kill for. In fact, that is what I do ... kill. The only thing that I do . . . Don't worry DoD has no interest in you and your little website. North Korea and Iran are a lot more important. In fact, as far as the Army and Navy are concerned you are a
ben_vulpes: i b'leev asciilifeform even pegged it as a cowardly apology to der fuhrer
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413357 << cdn ain't what she used to be. btc is like 600 bones atm… not that that's the point, on which i agree with you that culture != $$$$ (as per http://www.contravex.com/2014/11/14/terrible-nasty-unfair-evil-no-good-money-and-its-relation-to-net-worth/). that being said, i see even fewer cultured fellows with lower net worths than with higher net worths and ☝︎
phf: random lulz, sussman signed scheme-81 chip, sold as art. https://www.artsy.net/artwork/gerald-sussman-scheme i think it was listted at $1500, but i can't quite recall. i assume buyer would not try putting it on a breadboard.. ☟︎
phf: sicp is more of a "all you need to know about computation as a thing" book, rather then specifically a way to learn scheme. i know very few people who actually got through it on their own
mircea_popescu: their opinion on stuff like trilema is about as welcome as the housewife's thoughts on stage makeup.
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 23:54:45; pete_dushenski: if you're not making $100k++ per annum and cannot afford extra rooms in house or apartment to enjoy as 'office', then yes, a jungle man is you. in which case, you're using a phablet primarily and a dusty laptop on rare occasions when you need to print a document. the only exception being, perhaps, g4amerz.
mod6: me too, busy as f. but im out of the woods on this work thing i think.

pete_dushenski: well, don't drive in traffic. take scenic route. that's the whole point of car. the scenery. as well as the ability to stop here for lunch and there for coffee and over there for an ice cream, etc.
asciilifeform: and what to do with porsche ? it goes at same speed as toyota in traffic.
pete_dushenski: there is no such thing as a pleasant commute. it's for slaves and sucks commensurately. as it should.
asciilifeform: as a car that i'd want to drive.
asciilifeform: the pattern in which a dog vomit lands is not the same as a theorem.
asciilifeform: i reinvented a gnarly variant of this as a student.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> as for deharting, it isn't altogether different from what american medics do to folks ~anyway~ << word.
asciilifeform: as for deharting, it isn't altogether different from what american medics do to folks ~anyway~
asciilifeform: as i said many time, i think,
BingoBoingo once took graduate classes where this was presented as some sort of "organic" phenomenon in black America even though the white evangalists of socialism (many of whom were influenced by the St Louis Hegelians) were prominently mentioned by the black authors in their literature.
mircea_popescu: apparently it's reported feb 12th reported as fixed 17th
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 12:06:43; mircea_popescu: in other lolz, the interwebs offers exactly 0 information on how to turn dns lookups off, or itable it away, or ufw/csf/etc it shut, or any of that. because apparently this is not something one could want to do. it will break your internet! why ? dns is about as useful as painted wings on a cow, there's exactly nothing internet-wise that needs (or for that matter even significantly benefits from) dns

mircea_popescu: as per wilde!
asciilifeform: so that they buy as soon as they are credit-enabled?
mircea_popescu: note that i picked the bum specifically. for derps in "secure neighbourhoods", showing off to the neighbour is arguably a +ev move. who knows, maybe neighbour's daughter comes to do your house work in the nude or something. as faint as it may be - you're not going to get in fucking trouble for being an asshole. not so for bum. for bum, veblen goods are suicide goods.
punkman: danielpbarron: bitcoin can never exist strictly as a physical token; there needs to be some sort of bank-like entity to put a name on it << the keys are always stored on physical tokens. unless you have a brainwallet (and the mind-reading machine has not been invented yet).
phf: seems like it would appeal to the same "commemorative" crowd as in fiat
mircea_popescu: seems to me rather obvious these are intended as decorative accessories.

assbot: Logged on 21-02-2016 19:08:14; phf: as soon as i can move again, i'm going to make it to russian&turkish baths in nyc. they don't really do saunas on the east coast, but that baths place is awesome
mircea_popescu: all this because they really wanted to be as cool as the euros and didn't comprehend that faking it till you make it just gives you saturnism
asciilifeform: well not as such. but he very much saw it as something ~not~ created by teenagers in mother's basement
mircea_popescu: as for instance with openssl above.
mircea_popescu: i just mark it as broken.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the record this " the reason that source access is needed is the same as the cause of the problem: the inability to modify system behavior non-intrusively. if one could modify OPEN on any given system to acquire new behavior _without_ compiling a new OPEN or, even if you did, without re-linking the entire system (thus the need for dynamic linking and similar solutions, too), source code access would
gernika: phf: Had a terrible vegetarian thanksgiving dinner at Breitenbush. I did see a naked woman there though, as a teenager.
mircea_popescu: i would suspect as far as alf is concerned, javascript is cpp.
asciilifeform: as happened with, famously, openbsd.
asciilifeform: as would i.
asciilifeform: Jacmet: as you probably know, buildroot is a coveted boobytrap target for 1,001 miscreants of various stripes.
asciilifeform: 'if all you have is Unix, certain problems are so staggeringly tall that it takes an extra special genius to see what the _real_ problem is because all the people who are trying to climb it make it look as if doing something else is stupid.' << naggum delivers.
mircea_popescu: i mean to convey my surprise and giddy excitement as to how it's not wrong.
asciilifeform: and it isn't even as slim as it could be.
asciilifeform: as described by naggum, http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3144404199547949@naggum.no.html ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: much more generally, and much later - as potential replacement for entire chunks of the rotten flesh.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: more generally, and later, as an internal debugger.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with treating your baby as a chunk of bedrock, you know.
asciilifeform: and i am all for the fella figuring things out, so long as he understands this, and the ~why~.
ben_vulpes: as demonstrated!
ben_vulpes: mod6: under ubuntu 14.04 running make in buildroot exits as above
shinohai: Sometimes gets as many as 12
mod6: im making a `typescript' of the output as well. will post later when its complete.
asciilifeform: phf: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-02-2016#1412300 << as stated in the comments, i regard this as a serious loose end that must be tied before anyone can even contemplate using a shivatronic trb in the battlefield ☝︎
jurov: as i said, don't mind. it's my problem, i should not avoid dubious USE flags
mod6: but, say, normal use; you log in, you get a shell, you type `ls` and that would just work as expected right?
mod6: ok, so pwd just fails as is.
asciilifeform: as in, cosmic ray ?
mod6: so as far as the build-bitcoind-V99995.sh is concerned. let's just check that hash and call it a day then.
mod6: asciilifeform: not as far as i've seen.
mod6: anyway, an open line of comms to these folks could help us -- especially going forward as we basically might need to "roll our own" so that it doesn't pull the deps via rsync.
kakobrekla: im fine with shower only as long as you can set the temp to whatever you want
mod6: ben_vulpes: yeah, i dunno what the deal is with it, seems to not work exactly as expected.
phf: as soon as i can move again, i'm going to make it to russian&turkish baths in nyc. they don't really do saunas on the east coast, but that baths place is awesome ☟︎
asciilifeform: appears that it was bug-free as it was.
asciilifeform: the fact that reiser was jailed cemented it as permanently high-quality, no one wants to touch it, no 'progressors' progressate at it, no gnomes, no popularizers!111, etc.
asciilifeform: and much as i loathe the idea, we will probably have to nail down our own linux distro.
asciilifeform: jurov: the magic trick is that there is no such thing as unbounded runtime on my box.
asciilifeform: but yes, in the long run it is intended as a prosthesis to take over where the brain damage of the original is incurable.
asciilifeform: shiva.cpp as i originally wrote it, includes all of the trb headers. you can form scheme data structures handily without engaging in weird cppisms, just by iterating over, e.g., the node list, and forming scheme list while you do it.
asciilifeform: complete solution made from ~orthogonal pieces~ is the magic sword which weighs as a feather.
