assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 04:57:27; phf: i think philadelphia as a whole is a particularly painful monument to america's past.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to which day and age ?
cazalla_: meh, i am just angry as i let my guard down the other day and mentioned to someone that considering suicide is a logical and rational thought in this day and age
danielpbarron: not doing as you are told is pretty dickish
kuzetsa: killing someone because they didn't do as they were told is pretty dickish
kuzetsa: Genesis 19:26 ~~ But Lot's wife looked back. When she did, she became a pillar made out of salt. <<< like I said, inconsiderate, I can't hardly undersatand the idea of natural disaster being an act of god, and for something as innocent as looking over your shoulder to be cause for death is p much overkill no matter who you are (deity or otherwise)
adlai: kuzetsa: don't take this the wrong way, but you may find the logs interesting for a month or six of logged-time. will save you lots of questions, such as "why all the parens" or "did you really need to write your own darcs"
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 02:52:19; mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn't talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made a replacement.
pete_dushenski: the whole 'red hot economy' spectacle really isn't as attractive first-hand as it is on paper, at least aesthetically. ☟︎
phf: on one hand you have areas past art museum, which are basically abandoned lands of early american aristocracy. donated to "the people" to take care of, now they exist as ghetto bordering no mans lands.
phf: i think philadelphia as a whole is a particularly painful monument to america's past. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: really, this is every bit as tragic as swapping sons before eating them.
adlai used this library primarily as dvd rental, preparing his blog's filler material a decade in advance
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: no such thing as waste in a personal library
pete_dushenski: so carte blanche is mine as far as diet and the other 'customs' go
pete_dushenski: because, yes, bacon is fantastic, as are slow-braised pork short ribs
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408407 << you don't understand dirigible fantasies. it's like every comic book fan's overactive imagination telling him that 'if i only has x-ray vision i'd get so much pussy'. and then mousy radiologist (as they tend to be, in my experience), asks comicfan 'have you ever seen something with x-ray vision ? i'm not quite sure it's how you imagine.' 'nonsense, that's ☝︎
pete_dushenski: fuck won't be making uni appear to be the sine qua non for adult life that it was presented to me as.
pete_dushenski: obviously, this afternoon, and the fact that i'd be nutso to enter into a 20-year contract with a non-entity is why i will under no circumstances, and quite to the contrary of 'every is doing it' advice from the whole peanut gallery of well-meaning busy bodies, be starting an 'resp' account (registered educational savings plan) for my kid(s). if they want to go to law or something, i'll pony up, but if i sure as
asciilifeform: i am not in the habit of prodding people, but can't help but prod adlai. it is almost as if he were put upon the earth by the gods themselves just to add to shiva.scm.
asciilifeform: even builds own compiler, so long as you can dig up some gcc post-1995 or so that will build the current gcc
BingoBoingo: K, the bitbet affliate link thing probably has a place, but likely as part of a larger monetization effort when that time comes. I'm uncertain on this matter at this moment.
adlai has to as well, but actually has to ~work~ beforehand, believe it or not
asciilifeform: incidentally, i drove past it today, as every day, flags at half mast all week (herr scalia ?)
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: which is why all the derpage around anonimity, as if it were a thing.
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: (left as an exercise for the reader, how.)
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.
asciilifeform: but as far as i can tell, it is no longer manufactured in any serious quantity.
asciilifeform: any of the off-the-shelf ones, as far as i can tell
asciilifeform: the folks who burned all the jews they could long before germany so much as asked
asciilifeform: as for travellers, when the known world was a cold and empty place, and wolves outnumbered wanderers 9000 to 1, etc. - it was a different thing.
BingoBoingo: "Re: recent node drop, someone is using up connection slots with fake SPV nodes; node count sites may be reporting nodes as down incorrectly." https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/699919824416284672
phf: The satisfaction that no longer comes from using the commodities produced in abundance is now sought through recognition of their value as commodities. Consumers are filled with religious fervor for the sovereign freedom of commodities whose use has become an end in itself. Waves of enthusiasm for particular products are propagated by all the communications media. [...] Reified people proudly display the proofs of their intimacy with
BingoBoingo: hanbot: That's actually a serious problem. Being excited about things for their "product" -ness and not that part where they are useful as things.
asciilifeform: ^ the notion is well-known to city architects, as the concept of car space
mircea_popescu: something intuitively comprehensible as more akin the german-pioneered "tank shadow" item. whereby a unit was represented as a blob function of both its strength/battle readiness and it's mobility.
asciilifeform: in the same sense as north kr is small.
mircea_popescu: for instance, my own sizeometer judges apple as relatively small.
mircea_popescu: could just as well be presented the other way around, you know ? if you're going to assign good/bad arbitrarily, might as well allign the needle backwards.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yet you try and sit as if it had ?
asciilifeform: the market value, such as it is, is 100% from the software.
asciilifeform: aha, only done because economics-of-scale, as in, samsung sells not only to crapple
mircea_popescu: packaging even as bga is spurious in the constraints
mircea_popescu: "Apple A8 APL1011 SoC + SK Hynix RAM as denoted by the markings H9CKNNN8KTMRWR-NTH (we presume it is 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM, the same as in the iPhone 6 Plus) ; Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE Modem ; Skyworks 77802-23 Low Band LTE PAD ; Avago A8020 High Band PAD ; Avago A8010 Ultra High Band PA + FBARs ; Skyworks 77803-20 Mid Band LTE PAD ; InvenSense MP67B 6-axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer Combo"
phf: there was a project for os replacements back in 3g days, back when you could still conceivably load your own blob as an os, and expect it to do ~something~
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408268 << same thing as in su - anything from intact copper pipes, to the five specialists who still know how to make neutron tubes for fissile initiators ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i get that part, but i meant you as in phf not you as in look what i found on reddit, even has tits.
asciilifeform: as per your 'hollywood waitress' article.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is telling me that orc chieftains no longer send their children as hostages to the humans ?
mircea_popescu: and there's sure as heck no "life power" behind it all, which amusingly is your go-to answer whenever complexity overwhelms.
asciilifeform: the answer, as far as i can see, is that usg has the politburo in both cases by the balls, they all have swiss accounts 'which could have problems' if they don't play ball.
mircea_popescu: no, it's the tendency of people to abuse the usd as a temporary replacement for btc, until btc was devised.
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 15:17:11; mircea_popescu: PeterL> The rest of the world starts ignoring the US, the US pretends they still control everything << incidentally, the soviets had a very similar delusion going, see komintern etc. it worked about as much as the us thing does, which is to say not at all unless you're either very enamoured with the delusion or otherwise see a ready way to profit from castigating it.
mircea_popescu: sounds good phf. ftr i dun think there was anything wrong with your thing per se. broke an assumption i made that i still don't well understanbd, so... it counts as a positive.
asciilifeform: the brzezinski are not concerned with it because it is an economic giant (such as, e.g., cn)
mircea_popescu: PeterL> The rest of the world starts ignoring the US, the US pretends they still control everything << incidentally, the soviets had a very similar delusion going, see komintern etc. it worked about as much as the us thing does, which is to say not at all unless you're either very enamoured with the delusion or otherwise see a ready way to profit from castigating it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and even the retarded canadians... "us posturing precipitated a trade war that just ENDED canada as an industrial nation. wat do ?"
mircea_popescu: (for the record, most autistic children misrepresent themselves as smart, and actual smart children as some sort of chtonic horror/chtulhu)
mircea_popescu: it's basically a soviet country, just like the russians were. unlike the other soviet union, however, it doesn't fucking know this, goes to bed every night collectively imagining that "start-ups" as implemented there are actual business ; and "stars" as implemented there are examples of successful people. it's really quite amusing.
mircea_popescu: the upfront cost of attempting to do business as a us subject far exceeds any possibility of gain no matter how fantasmagorically distant.
mircea_popescu: i'm telling you , advise us partners to either a) get an eu entity incorporated and use that or b) be less poor, as applicable.
punkman: phf, seems so. my initial suggestion was releases as patch sequence files, but I don't think anyone liked this idea. My vtron does .seq files with "foo.vpatch \t sha512(foo.vpatch) \n" inside, which works for my blobby vtronized things.
phf: punkman: is comments in code still the plan? that seems to suffer from similar issues as experimental branch
punkman: a sidenote that came to mind looking at phf's lisp snippet: adding comments to everything for release patches (and alt-genesis) doesn't work so great if you have non-plaintext files. not a problem for trb as it is, but perhaps something to keep in mind.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Precise monster zinc carbon went into is "everready dolphin" which walmart had on clearance, for same price as blue pogo which has moved still further down.
phf: source patched with http://paste.lisp.org/display/307448, run with a folder as argument and it'll prepend a header based on some conditions (rtfs) to all files
mod6: You should end up with the exact same sha512 hashes as listed in the paste. Let me know, either way.
mod6: i even had a thought, and im not even sure its feasible technically or just logically, but; we could perhaps create a wrapper for gnu patch where we strip out lines that are surrounded with "%%" or something similar to how it does with "@@", this would ultimately be needed in vtron as well to avoid issues. But the thought is, then we could put comments directly in the vpatch (surrounded by '%%') and
mircea_popescu: this aside, the trade in mates has been historically and will permanently remain a major economic factor. as unwilling to admit people may find themselves. nevertheless, it's rarely an actual market.
mod6: part of this goes back to, "that sovereigns and sovereigns alone are entitled to anything they may take for themselves," ; as a sovereign you make take the brides you wish, but if you want to make it a deed, signatories must be in the wot.
danielpbarron: but that's not the same as an assbot registered key
danielpbarron: but the point is they are as one key, one flesh
danielpbarron: well i've given this some thought, and i just don't see the point of the wife signing anything about it as she should now act as one flesh with her new husband; if she needs something notarized, let him do it for her
mircea_popescu: as per alf's earlier pronouncements, who'd want a wife like that ?
mircea_popescu: so... win-win, as they say in loserland.
hanbot: i'm sure he's paid in "ideas", as much as i'm sure they'd fail just as hard without him driving a mop
pete_dushenski: from the mines, "The [core] reference client isn't reallly intended to be used as a wallet. It's more for nodes and miners. Use hardware wallets, or electrum, or basically anything other than core for a wallet. If you're running core, just think of it as a node your more secure wallet connects to."
pete_dushenski: i'd consider those letters i wrote to peck and lee as 'dry test runs' but mebbe not enough forced meme!
thestringpuller: all who do not accept bitcoin jesus as their cryptolord and savior are ostracized
pete_dushenski: shinohai: my host also just sent me an email apologising for their recent performance and offering next month free as compensation, so i wouldn't be surprised if that was causing the auto-deaths at least.
mircea_popescu: i confess i actually did a chick that was short and otherwise built entirely like a 12 boy. well, minus the penis, but boobs as big as mine et al.
mircea_popescu: note the acceptance of computers in society as an exact mirror of the use of windows and apple. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: they exist to assuage existential anxiety as experienced by females.
asciilifeform: and if used as 'boss screen', can make one wherever?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Update: KncMiner is also one of the many mining operations listed to this day as supporting the ClassicCoin fork (along with Bitfury, which led the backpedalling effort after it became obvious Classiccoin does not have nor can acquire the support of key players in the market.)" ?
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 21:09:08; thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: KNC miner also committed as well.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well in the good tradition of shitcorps, they're opaque as mud, but apparently 20 or so.
mircea_popescu: the real bitcoin. as opposed to the pr-bitcoin.
asciilifeform: same story as, e.g., heartbleed.
danielpbarron: where there are opponents of an oppresive distopian government as good guys, and goverment agent spies as bad guys trying to sabotage the missions
punkman: also known as "werewolf" or "mafia"
danielpbarron: when i play games in which i might be a secret bad guy type thing, I still don't lie about it. I just don't say anything one way or the other. This means not talking too much even as one of the good guys, so it won't look out of place when I'm a bad guy
asciilifeform: as per the 'nobody gets jack shit just for showing up' law.
asciilifeform: (legend has it that some former fucktoy of castro's got as far as his office, in hopes of claiming bounty, he handed her a pistol himself, 'do it', she did not)
asciilifeform: suspected as much.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: he was never actually even in their wot as far as i can tell
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: I guess Luke-jr generalized it as "doesn't enforce softforks thus insecure"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you never said, does trilema selection as updated work for you asciilifeform ?
