veen: mircea_popescu: indeed, and milo understands this. the nyt's obstinate refusal to entertain the distinction is so very quaint
BingoBoingo: Congrats ben_vulpes you've got another mouth to feed
veen: i suppose today ben_vulpes is my honorary daddy, his doings are well-known in these parts
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dragging because no withdrawals! http://qntra.net/2017/02/pboc-coordinates-action-among-chinese-fiatbitcoin-interfaces-again-anti-money-laundering-being-pushed/
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: etc worked great! worth 1/10th of thing worth 1/17th of actual thing.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski makes the reference to egypt in the nyt piece particularly amusing in the uninentional self-irony crit vein.
deedbot: diana_coman rated thestringpuller -1 << he puts conditions on others for "being useful" despite no evidence of ever *doing* something useful
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: similarly to uber, google's 'autonomous car' 'engineers' were recently reported paid so much to leave the program that half retired and half went to start their own ventures along similar lines
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes aha.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Usually they get *left* on the floor
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski they have.
asciilifeform: ^ reminiscent of mircea_popescu's pill against reddit
BingoBoingo: !~later tell pete_dushenski Holy hell your child is growing fast
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes specified blender version has to have perfect exporter made to work with our cal3d/cs stack
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the gig?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems like they meant 'unixlikes other than linux and crapple'
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 18:44 mircea_popescu: the receiver should see it ; the sender has nfi what happened, rescan will fix.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ rather
asciilifeform: mod6: it was suggested by mircea_popescu at one time. but i can't seem to recall which thread
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> some kind of share-able listener tmsr infrastructure. has a lot to do with the uci project. << yeah, many exciting things are starting to open up.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> it's kinda covered in teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format thing'd be a good idea << yeah, I like the idea.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu provoked again my ancient itch for a tx debugger
BingoBoingo: mod6 asciilifeform mircea_popescu or hanbot care to qntra up this milestone?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, mod6 : next mega-advance will probably be to make it self-reproducing - i.e. to shit out a bootable hdd with itself. i experimented with this in the pogo era but hung up at the time on buildroot freezing, which was since solved by mod6
mod6: mircea_popescu: today was a gift. usually never hunt by this time of year -- too cold, too much snow in the fields.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ha nice going mod6 << Thanks! & Thanks to all who helped in the effort.

a111: Logged on 2015-08-05 13:38 mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
mod6: The unusually warm weather provided me a banner day of hunting. Got seven myself. http://www.mod6.net/hunting_20170219.jpg
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, reasonabru. i'll probably kill the web stuff and make the thing irc-only. not going to happen immediately, still planning out data collection system
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was pretty clear when you explained it here to asciilifeform during the july '15 events.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating the correct way to make pseudonodes. way i see it is, it should still maintain a cache of recent blocks, and have a backhaul to mothership controlled by owner to request signed block checksums, and whole blocks if cache does not find; rather than accepting crapolade from randos
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 19:13 mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you wrote 'listener', i wondered if it meant something specialized and passive, a sort of pseudonode.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how does 'dispersed listener' differ from 'run many nodez, and they gotta have tx debugger' ?
asciilifeform: to revisit upstack, ftr trb still does not have a tx debugger. when, e.g., mircea_popescu, asks me 'have you seen tx T', all i have is to grep the log barf
asciilifeform: hanbot: settxfee ( http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0472 ) can be used to adjust a running node without restart
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider publishing your tx debugger as a trb patch ? (the thing that lets mircea_popescu answer questions like 'where is ea58f22fe5bbb4f42edb8be90a37f98b57af12007f7620f7ab94111a06ff3ebb ?' )
asciilifeform: ( http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/wallet.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0565 << mechanism )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: option -rescan
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can bcstats be moved to mimi or notrly ?
mats: mircea_popescu: yes, isn't nature one of the better 'open access' journals?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey it beats 'land of 401k'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure usd currently fills the 'gold mircea_popescu dubloon' niche there, just as in other orclands
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 16:12 mircea_popescu: (the source was 80s dispute wrt to general public's apparent bottomless appetite for purchasing luxury goods -- in eastern communism this includes meat, washing machines, electricity, etc -- for which they won't even have the fucking decency to pay in hard currency, but aim to use the worthless reminbo internal scrip)

trinque: https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/4/45/Explaining_EXPLAIN.pdf << sorry for the pdf, but there's "explain" ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not particularly want to hand off the project, no.
asciilifeform: we had a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested inserting in massive batches. i will eventually implement this. but i find it offputting that EVEN THEN the IDIOTIC db will prevent me from reading !!!
thestringpuller: "RAND_poll seeds the random number generator using a system-specific entropy source, which is /dev/urandom on UNIX-like operating systems" << so openssl default is PRNG??? RE: "The urandom device may lack sufficient entropy for your needs, and you might want to reseed it immediately from /dev/random. On Unix and other operating systems that provide the block device, you can use RAND_load_file to load directly from /dev/random."
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: would i have to modify how OpenSSL is initialized in order to use FUCKGOATS with TRB? >> https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Random_Numbers#Hardware
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 20:20 mircea_popescu: it's i realise now, directly the problem - the snippetage. IF a language/method/package/abstract-item-whatever has a lot of "copy paste this snippet" built around it, then the useless worms that opened up and swallowed the immense productive assets and limitless human ingenuity existing in america recognize it for the business-world equivalent of their schooldays : THE HOLY CLIFF NOTES!!1
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 95.4 / 220 = 0.43363636363636365
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was discussion in ben_vulpes 's castle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: e.g., ada refmanual & rationale, whole talmud, is also on www... but somehow 0 rush to snatch dung
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, yes, I think asciilifeform is quite right there - I *saw* "programmers" doing exactly that in fact
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 18:09 ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is a gorgeous little sentence, i don't think i've ever seen the like from a native english speaker
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and comment is on, of course
mircea_popescu: lol epic diana_coman
thestringpuller: diana_coman the sad thing is all the good gamedev code is sealed, especially after the mid 2000's renderware incident with EA.
diana_coman: ben_vulpes, cheers!
ben_vulpes: ahaha diana_coman i salute you that is some serious archaeology
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i will be releasing a small proggy quite soon.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: spiffy article, good illustration of the kind of affair ada was built to prevent
BingoBoingo: ty mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform think car. shoot driver ; shoot fuel tank ; these work with a fucking 38mm. if you're actually firing 20 gauge you can prolly fissure a cylinder / ablate the transmission / cut a hole throgh one blade large enough to make it no longer capable of flight << 20 gauge is small less common one, 12 gauge is bigger common one.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> so bad << Crank is probably best 'Murican film of the century so far
trinque: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/AWA1/001-100/walk072_Apache/Bryan%20Ribbans/apat7.jpeg << configured with secondary gas tank right next to missiles
asciilifeform: so i'll believe mircea_popescu's description.
asciilifeform: did mircea_popescu ever write a 'likbez of partizan warfare' or similar ? i'd quite like to read it.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ever review that one?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-17 19:50 mircea_popescu: "so the biblical scholars mis-translated the hebrew word for young woman into the greek word for virgin. an easy mistake to make, since there's only a subtle difference in spelling. but it was the virgin that caught people's attention. it's not every day that a virgin conceives and bears a son. so you keep that for a couple hundred years, and the next thing you know, you have the holy catholic church."
asciilifeform: just as in new orleans. apparently not so easy to bring down chopper with small arms as mircea_popescu suggested.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: saving up to buy a share of buffettronium ?
asciilifeform: was reading ben_vulpes's thing

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: now that you mention it
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes gotta distribute. there's just no other way. i kinda hinted at it back when, but didn't want to be telling you how to do your shit. anyway : make a half dozen nodes, not one.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: didja try the scheme where your node only talks to trb nodes ?
mircea_popescu: tell you what, ben_vulpes 's girl, or for that matter lucy (in disgrace) has no problem doing barefoot-in-mud thing because once+ removed from the grandmothers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: candle clock, ancient
phf: ben_vulpes: right, i'm grokking where mp was coming from with "to real man, bring cash to ag, start a forex"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: pretty sure nobody made porous bronze till 1930s
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: bernoulli understood capillary effect...
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: capillary.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not if large enough
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: maybe i dreamed it
a111: Logged on 2017-02-16 17:57 mircea_popescu: yes i'll get archival copy of stuff i like. amusingly, 99% of which doesn't exist in better resolution anyway. wtf am i going to do with an archival copy of cat on the hot tin roof, watch the original artefacts in preference of the modern ones ?
mthreat: one michael cera movie I actually liked was Youth in Revolt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_IVx6HjxY
mthreat: mircea_popescu: try mauro.it in belgrano
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that thing is at nsa museum
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah, not so much that
trinque: mircea_popescu: why's that?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: network degrading is 100% a 'if not you, then who' affair. run nodez.
hanbot: ben_vulpes you'd prolly like cozonac
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i can't even figure that out for myself. 90% of the time i think "mmm, chocolate. tasty i guess but i kinda want some more challah or whatever else i baked most recently covered in bread"
