ascii_butugychag: to make the text as small as bearable
mircea_popescu: a punk is, of course, the eromenos in the typical pressure-driven homosexual relationships they engage in. a hooker's not the same as a harlot and so on and so forth
phf: hermit is not the same as hobo. i saw a hermit in india once, he lived in a cave and was well groomed within the limits of what was available to him. he smelled infinitely better then the bums that were begging in the street. for all practicle purpose american nerds are "hobos" with housing
mircea_popescu: i really don't blame the kids themselves, they're being raped under the guise of education, and in two major ways : one to create a wholly delusional concept of "originality" which is so badly wound up in self-contradiction it causes most brains to shut down ; the other is more pervasive, they are prevented from socialising normally in a myriad ways and as such become incapable to work with others.
assbot: Logged on 19-01-2016 15:06:13; *: shinohai tried this as well, kinda liked some of it: http://about.psyc.eu/
gernika: It has other problems as well, namely spam, which it was explicitly "designed" to prevent.
gernika: I suppose in the same sense as bitcoin exists.
gernika: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-01-2016#1376813 << this exists and is known as Bitmessage. Does not use gpg though. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as it was in ru space
mircea_popescu: something like this is fucking obvious, even to the lowliest derp : there is no concept of "wordpress theme" in the fucking code, and if you want to "skin it" you eitgher write one or, as the derp case usually is, go to a repository and load one you like. nobody goes "hey, we should be able to decide what wordpress theme is used to display this article IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE".
shinohai tried this as well, kinda liked some of it: http://about.psyc.eu/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: just fork gnutella or whatever to serve as your basis. add a render engine, and you're g2g.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent. <
copypaste: No need for encryption, perhaps as an option only. Signing is just as well.
mircea_popescu: ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent.
mircea_popescu: jurov dude, srsly. for one thing, the file is 1.5gb, the available ram 4x that. EVEN IF IT READ IT AS A SINGLE LINE it should work.
adlai notes, as a humorous aside, that someday there needs to be a rock-off between PeterL and PeterR ☟︎
PeterL: there seems to be a question as to the antecedent of "this rock" as to whether it referes to Peter or the previous verse
asciilifeform: as it is, i'll bbl, gotta go slowly die in a box for a while
assbot: Logged on 08-06-2015 04:27:15; asciilifeform: i, for instance, would much like to publicly register as 'anyone who walks in with my name and slave serial number and tries to take a mortgage, ever, is to be shot immediately'
mircea_popescu: pro tip : cured meats as well as grains used to be stored there.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the basic problem is that there are no miracles, semiconductors have a temperature ceiling, the heat has to leave as quickly as it appears, or meltdown
asciilifeform: as symbolics did
gribble: DIELECTRIC CONSTANT AND INDUCED DIPOLE ... - ResearchGate: <https://www.researchgate.net/file.PostFileLoader.html?id=5614bca56225ff66298b458d&assetKey=AS%3A281807657422848%401444199589259>; Chemical Characteristics | The Olive Oil Source: <http://www.oliveoilsource.com/page/chemical-characteristics>; Chemical composition of olive oil - Clackline Valley Olives: (1 more message)
shinohai: I wonder if I could sell olive-oil cooled computers. Market the oil as being trampled at precise temperatures under the feet of certifiable virgins. Increases the cooling properties.
mircea_popescu: lmao when we started, computers plugged into the tv. and after 20 years spent spinning in the desert, as we age computers plug into the... tv.
mircea_popescu: hey, some people edit pr0nz for a living. they have to do it on mobile workstation as well as at home and that sixth-inch clitoral hood HASTOLOOKGOOD!!11
asciilifeform: punkman: it is absolutely SOP. normally the extra bits are only available for the gamma corrector, as the link to the panel is strictly 8 per channel
punkman: I also saw a monitor advertised as 10bit, and then noticed "actually only 8bit" in the small print. not sure if this was in the logs, but quite outrageous.
pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2016/01/19/eizo-ev2455-bk-unboxing/ << as hard to believe as this may be, this was in the works ~before~ mircea_popescu published his computer pics post today. i swear, you guys. you gotta believe me. I'M NOT MINI-MP OMGAWD.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: same ben davenport as http://www.contravex.com/2014/05/14/first-largest-bestest-ever-in-the-us/
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-01-2016#1375776 << as previously discussed, the electric car is quite transparently this and almost entirely this. wanna travel more than 50mi ? o really ? and who are you visiting ? and what for ? and what time are they expecting you ? and do you have contact info for them ? etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu used to force the derps working in the few ro ones to come the fuck out to meet him, as he wasn't going into that shit.
assbot: Logged on 19-01-2016 02:06:58; ben_vulpes: (hey, it's a bank holiday. half the staph even bothered to show up, and those left as soon as they fixed the fucked up builds they shipped on friday, leaving me and $bzprtnr alone with the tequila and org chart)
ben_vulpes: (hey, it's a bank holiday. half the staph even bothered to show up, and those left as soon as they fixed the fucked up builds they shipped on friday, leaving me and $bzprtnr alone with the tequila and org chart) ☟︎
asciilifeform: is starbux Officially licensed as 'money transmitter' ?!!!11111
ben_vulpes: ultimately, "no no, now i want to drink whatever's being sold as pinot gris here"
mircea_popescu: mostly because crashed one as a 9yo and... nothing happened.
trinque: ah, soon as I said it, finally propagated
pete_dushenski: looked like bucephalus was stuck at one point earlier as well. and zoolag is consistently trailing too. (at least according to bitnodes)
ascii_butugychag: (i keep it as a pet)
BingoBoingo: It's good for developing back and core strength, but probably not so good to be used full time as chair substitute.
ascii_butugychag: there's one in my office, using it as a footrest sometimes
ascii_butugychag: as in the old english torture of 'the room of little ease'
mircea_popescu: all that's left is for me to hope that one day i might be as cool as myself.
ben_vulpes: because if you put it to writing it is going to read as "programmer"
ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: no, i meant literally, i work as something somewhat else
mircea_popescu: this is where we find out alf has been working as party organizer all these years.
ascii_butugychag: shoot yourself in the head every morning until you wake up as a mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: "and it's not as bad as you think"
mircea_popescu: can they be capitalized so we're as cool as NSA and early LISP ? MECHANICGIRAFFESORBET
ascii_butugychag: such as:
mircea_popescu: o look, script finally terminated. now here's 6gb worth of okcupid profiles including as best as i can discern all females to sift through.
ascii_butugychag: one is, i suspect, supposed to use some proprietary build system, such as crapple's
ascii_butugychag: so long as you had gnumake
ascii_butugychag: as such it did not care what cpu you built for, etc
BingoBoingo: It's a clear candidate for not Qntra as writing it would be for my personal development rather than reporting of Bitcoin news. Because deep intellectual failings presented by other outlets is not news in itself
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Perhaps historical hegel would. Hegel as used by derps that spz popular socialist conception of hegel can eat a dick.
mircea_popescu: people love to view the field of expression as unfinite. then again, they loved to see the west the same way.
mircea_popescu: for your sins you'll have to brush almost as much crud off all that stuff as anyone trying to use linux today.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha i signed it as 2014 ?
mircea_popescu: (indicative and dispositive are used here, ftr, as classical legal concepts. something's indicative if it contains or procures a means to evaluate the truth of a claim. something's dispositive if it is the means to resolve a claim.)
BingoBoingo: Getting high never changes: "My conclusion is that the togetherness of things in a common world, the law of sharing, of which I have said so much, may, when perceived, engender a very powerful emotion; that Hegel was so unusually susceptible to this emotion throughout his life that its gratification became his supreme end, and made him tolerably unscrupulous as to means he employed; that indifferentism is the true outcome of every
BingoBoingo: America's chance of having a philosophical tradition though died between 1910 and 1920 when James died, Dewey was lionized, and everyone treated James as fringe religious thinker and not rebuttal of the Hegelian.
mircea_popescu: ironically enough, nobody is such an enemy of black achievement as the political party using color as a lever on the public treasury.
ascii_butugychag: as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-01-2016#1375228 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Like mailing list as concordance to v chain
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: But consider v or a piece of v software like Bitcoind as a bible analogue. What language describes things that go around a bible.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ... << technically the ml is a soft fork on v chain ? :D << I think of it as more a concordance for the v chain
ascii_butugychag: i would argue that an illiterate kid who sees nothing wrong with copying bits is every bit as sane in this regard as RMS
punkman: lol Falkvinge, "If there's no profit to be made in using bitcoin as a drop-in replacement for credit card payments, bitcoin will not be deployed at scale. Deployment and outcompeting legacy systems depend entirely on merchant financial gains from rollout." ☟︎
ascii_butugychag: at any rate, the large part of what i see as needing a manual, is the ~why~ of v
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag this is going towards "animated programs", where instead of looking at a program as a[n ultimately] bitmap you instead look at it as a gif, with layers coming on top of each other.
mircea_popescu: but ima put it first as an article so we don't end up needing a ton of small fixes signed
mircea_popescu: is that a good name for it ? kinda confusing as fuck
mircea_popescu: not even close. it's just what you want to believe so as not to wake screaming from your sleep.
ascii_butugychag: ^ whole history of kompoyoooting as-a-field, aha.
mircea_popescu: "The RFC Editor generally follows these accepted rules as defined by the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) [CMOS], with a few important exceptions to avoid ambiguity in complex technical prose and to handle mixtures of text and computer languages, or to preserve historical formatting rules." << kids, this is how not to code.
ascii_butugychag: as i wrote it, aha.
mircea_popescu: and your guess depends on how people software as a much lower node on that tree.
ascii_butugychag: because it is not built for comfort. just as t-34 tank was not.
jurov: i see it as going back to RCS , no idea otherwise
ascii_butugychag: i will leave the 'why' as an exercise. largely because this is not a pressing issue.
jurov: i don't see ml as any authoritative source, nor it can't be
ascii_butugychag: in EXACTLY same way as my trb node does THE SAME amount of number crunching whether it hears a block from gavin's node or from mircea_popescu's.
ascii_butugychag: and i don't see it as a serious boojum
ascii_butugychag: as now.
mircea_popescu: if i want to represent alf's signature as "asciilifeform", "ascii_butugychag" or more or just a subset, it should be up to me.
mod6: <+jurov> oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig << for V to work properly the sigfiles (seals) need to be named the same as the vpatch filename with a .sig on the end. is that what you're saying?
jurov: oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig
assbot: Taiwan: Tsai Ing-wen Elected as First Female President ... ( http://bit.ly/208MXue )
mircea_popescu: As a solution, Ms. McCuller created her own search engine, an amalgam of other search sites that does not force the user to move slowly around the site and wade through advertisements to find the right place to enter a query. Search words are entered at the top of the page, and appropriate links are displayed above all other material as well. Users do not need to tab through extraneous material."
asciilifeform: #6954 e54ebbf Switch to libsecp256k1-based ECDSA validation << as mentioned earlier by BingoBoingo ?
guruvan: can I just build as per instrux here http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/the_real_bitcoin and
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 21:20:50; pete_dushenski: you speak as if it's a certainty, or at least as if it were a certainty, that it'd matter.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 21:21:26; asciilifeform: to even contemplate the notion that it doesn't matter, or to suggest that it is anything short of certain, betrays a deep ignorance of the actual making-things business as it stands for the last 200 yr.
asciilifeform: as in, no extraneous bodies within ~50 metre in any direction
asciilifeform: the handle was thermoplastic iirc (as on frying pan)
ben_vulpes: did not work as well as the radiant attachments atop the propane tank
