mircea_popescu: this isn't a castigation of
them. but
the system is a chute down not a chute up.
ascii_butugychag: ... isn't
that sorta like 'toilet is a magnet for shit' ? yes, sometimes people plant flowers in one. but speaking as
to its purpose.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
the observation about 'camgurlz are a magnet for
the attention of subhuman bois' seems unsurprising
mircea_popescu: then again, granted, most of
those involved were pretty nuts.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think anyone sane was seriously
thinking
the situation may survive. it was painfully obvious we're riding a self-limiting wave.
ascii_butugychag: reading mircea_popescu's recollections of
the '90s porn set feels a little like another one of my predilections, memoirs of su physics/math folk
trinque: thestringpuller: yep,
though not one I've passed any judgement on yet, other
than "is elsewhere"
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
that article makes me
think of (i entirely forget
the source) - approximately - 'every man's life has a
time when
things were working correctly'
trinque: AWS being
the host was certainly a problem.
trinque: well. I certainly didn't change
the configuration
to get
that
to connect.. merely
the origin
mircea_popescu: seriously, 10 hours for 100gb ? what is
this, maxtor days ?
mircea_popescu: so in
that sense, my os copies files a lot faster
than
that.
ascii_butugychag: but really in his harem scenario i'd imagine he would build something more like a horseshoe shape, so
the users can face one another
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag incidentally, i suspect you'll find
the latest quite very interesting, if you manage
to wade
through it all.
ascii_butugychag: it would probably look something like a nagant cylinder
turned up
punkman: terminal2: Now everyone has a
toilet << not
true, and good chance you'll make more money investing in
toilets
than ETH
trinque: ascii_butugychag: was
there something else I was supposed
to say aside from NICK
to get going?
ascii_butugychag: i suppose
the
theory is
that we are morons, and will conclude
that 'trb is broken, can't sync' ?
trinque: in related news, deedbot- will be back when I figure out why it can no longer connect
to freenode, having only changed his external IP
trinque: I have seen ample evidence
to suggest it in deedbot's logz
mircea_popescu: trinque i suspect
this is what drove alf's ideas of you know, deliberate sabotage against
trb nodes.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> like it or not
this is
the level of scrutiny
that patches have
to face, even if it makes develoipment slow. << i very much agree with
this methodology.
trinque: because his new
trb node is at 152k
ascii_butugychag: there are exactly
three mechanisms known for creating correctness:
thestringpuller: i don't know in practice how "unknown unknowns" affect
the system.
thestringpuller: If you have expected behavior
there should be a way
to measure if
that behavior changes due
to something introduced into
the system.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:31:49; mircea_popescu:
the problem with
tests is
that you can't
test for something not happening.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: wouldn't unit
testing coverage prevent some of
this from becoming a problem?
thestringpuller: well openssl will eventually need
to be excised as well, what
to replace it with, I don't know.
mircea_popescu: like it or not
this is
the level of scrutiny
that patches have
to face, even if it makes develoipment slow.
mircea_popescu: mod6
the
thing is,
that 10`000 we
took out - while very sensible
to be out and belongs out - could very well had been covering up for say an openssl bug.
mod6: I
think it's vital
that we all gain a good grasp of what
the intricacies are in
this code - myself included.
mod6: And 'you' in
the sense of all of us. Not just Mr. P.
thestringpuller: terminal2: ASICMINER actually delivered on
their IPO,
their stock skyrocketed. However due
to insane management
that seems
to be very common in
the mining world,
the company imploded.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> my one question, and not
to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be
trusted
to not fuck up
the size ? << Just
to
touch back on
this again - I'd like
to see more of
this. If you happen
to be reading
through
the code, and
there is a question, ask - let's discuss.
terminal2: Toilets would have been great
to invest in before
they were owned by everyone
mircea_popescu: think of all
the growth
the kids will create on
top of
their parent's food!
mircea_popescu: terminal2 by
this reasoning you really should invest in
toilets.
terminal2: Only
takes a couple of breakout successes
to make ETH
take off I
think
PeterL: all
the "companies" will be amazing
terminal2: Migrating a DAO off of ethereum would not be an easy
thing
to do in most cases
terminal2: I've never had a GPG key before lol. I will make one
tonight. On ETH: While I don't see a reason for established companies
to re-use ethereum - I
think you need
to account for all
the companies nerd kids will create ontop of it - which will grow
mircea_popescu: but if you';re sick of seeing it you should be able
to config your client
to ignore
that line.
PeterL: proly want
to limit
the number of
times assbot responds
to stop spam vector?
PeterL: can we has !wot <nick> where
the links get sent from assbot
to <nick> instead of dumping in chan?
mircea_popescu: different branches in
the wot disputing which earlier node
to be credited with x.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in
the future
there will be
the principal cause of war :
mircea_popescu: seeing how
the men in question were unfortunate
to die befgore
the bible.
mircea_popescu privately bets alfie will mention
the
three russian stooges
thing.
trinque: ascii_butugychag: sounds like a centralized CVS/SVN repo where sigs "vote" for what constitutes
the master branch
ascii_butugychag: it is not enough, for a classic bureaucrat,
to avoid accountability; he has
to put in scar
tissue
that gives
the appearance
thereof
mircea_popescu: i still recall
the feynman conundrum.
to me it's
the archetype for
this.
jurov: dunno about funding, but it's nice example
to avoiding accountability
mircea_popescu: lol, because mistakes, rather
than people, are finite. gg.
jurov: they do
try at NASA, but
they do it in meritocracy way
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag ever met a govt employee
that welcomed accountability ?
ascii_butugychag: or does it even make sense
to suppose
that usg uses anything of
the kind
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i've been wondering, what
the nazi variant of 'v' might look like
punkman: PeterL: I guess you could rotate
the log
