ben_vulpes once did time in
a shop where folks struggled to make the daily check in at 10a
mircea_popescu: word, ima get
a cowgrate on my car, except for the other sort of cow.
mircea_popescu: fuck that dumb shit, i don't care some slick scammer sold them on the idea it's
a conveyance. it's not more of
a conveyance than any fucking kitchen robot, that also sorta-kinda moves around on the countertop.
mircea_popescu: well, this is
a fundamental, at least to me, service pizarro is offering, GENUINE raid. ie, raid installed by republican hands out of genuine components etc.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: 'tis at least
a usable machine, if sw raid is so abhorrent; thought the option was worth offering. doesn't sound like you have any interest though.
ben_vulpes: diana_coman, mircea_popescu: i apologize for the hysteresis in server specs, but i failed to procure the cable i need for the high-throughput raid card in time to board tomorrow. i'm provisioning the machine reserved for your use with
a software raid10 for installation this week, but you have the option to wait an uncertain amount of time for me to get the cable down to the dc and reprovision it with
a much
mircea_popescu: lobbes that's not even the cannonical item ; hanbot is working on
a no-binary genesis for it on phf's new version vdiff.
lobbes: though right now I'm still stepping through alf's v99 (v.py), which has been
a useful learning tool thus far
lobbes: so my current side-quest is to get ave1's mp-wp pressed and working (I have php 5.6 on my test machine so this should come in handy). lobbesblog right now is all 'manual html' with 'manual comments'
a la dpb's, so I'ma need
a more automated comments/publishing mechanism anyway. This oughta kill two birds with one stone, with added benefit that I can publish
a n00b guide with notes on journey.
lobbes: m going to be
a proper Lord of the Republic, I need to be able to wield the most fundamental of Republican tools
a111: Logged on 2018-02-24 21:40 mircea_popescu: it's going to get built tho, he'll need
a binary tree model,
a merkle tree-izer, and an elastic hash-er for sure.
mircea_popescu: ~THEY~ r fighting back! and winning! so sez hackernews profile in feb 2016 ; hasn't really been heard from in
a coupla years. for so much wins.
ben_vulpes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-01#1786683 << relatedly, asciilifeform courteously expressed
a raid card along with the fuckgoatsen, with which that machines ssds will really shine, raid5 is back on the table if you would like it, please let me know by 8pm sunday utc if you'd like it in r5 instead of the previously communicated r10
☝︎ ben_vulpes: which is absurd for
a wp, hence why i was just going to eat it
ben_vulpes: that box is hosting both qntra and pizarro's web presence, and then on top of that it's splitting
a 1u with another piece of hardware (right BingoBoingo ?), so something hilarious like .003 btc this month? i was planning to host it as
a service to the republic tbh, especially since the machine it's on is running pizarro's website as well
diana_coman: I'll have
a look at the bitstream /rate issue too, thank you; I'll get back later today on it
mod6: My vtron also fails on this as well. I have
a whole write up here. Stand by:
BingoBoingo: Aha, photo from
a few weeks ago, taken for that reason.
BingoBoingo: Brasileros break out the heavy coats when night temperatures fall below 20C, the Uruguayos tend to use lighter jackets and give it
a few more degrees 16-18C is when their low temperature reactions get triggered.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is
a fine degree less innocence than say... the Brasileros
mircea_popescu: then again locals' notions of what constitutes coldness show
a clear innocence of the arctic.
BingoBoingo: Otherwise I am told it gradually gets colder, windier, and wetter. Like
a Latino London barely lucky enough to avoid snow.
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform, how are we getting the nsa boxen over to uruguay ? you feel like taking
a trip ?
mircea_popescu: (in this discussion, the $ stands for the dollar, which however denotes the taler,
a weight of gold (or perhaps sivler ? highly contentious matter at the time, this), not fictitious lincolnite bs.)
mircea_popescu: JUST SO, the bank ~sold~ people bills to itself. if you pay the bank $5, you get in exchange...
a bill for $5, that you can give to the bank, as if the bank had sat in your restaurant and ate $5 worth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: much like the reason dollar bills are called BILLS is because banks came up with the bright idea of selling... bills to themselves. you know how if you go to the restaurant and eat there, they bring you
a bill, which you oblige yourself to pay ?
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing history lesson : the reason the option is called "CALL" is because of its functional equivalence to the... calling of capital for subscribed shares. basically what you're selling there is the... right for someone to... CALL the cash equity as if the share had just been subscribed. you "resubscribe" it so to speak, it's
a fictitious revirgination of the holy mother.
mircea_popescu: it's also
a confusion of layers to name employees in the charter. what happens if you decide to hire ben_vulpes' son to manage it eventually, recharter ?
mircea_popescu: this aside -- you certainly can also have the foundation simply hold
a convertible debt ; but bear in mind that it can't possibly hold
a seat on the board until such
a time as it converts that bond and gets shares.
mircea_popescu: so something like "pizarro incorporated, issued 1`100`000 shares with
a par value of 100 satoshi each, subscribed by mod6 (500`000) ; asciilifeform (500`000) and TBF (100`000)" would be more in the regular form of these things.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the usual terminology re shares is "subscribed". the reason has to do with history. the way business has worked (mostly in italy, which is where it was invented, five centuries ago) was that 1. some people got together united by their recognition of
a solution to some problem ; 2. that then evaluated the costs of implementing such solution (often the case -- the cost was to outfit
a ship and the problem was "there's no s
mircea_popescu: and in breakfast suggestions : slice homemade bread, spread aguacate on it, flake smoked trout atop the aguacate, cut sweet red onion on top of the trout, serve with
a mug of leche agria on your balcony of splendid views.
mircea_popescu: there is not at present anything significantly better ; and it is crap. not
a matter of it "being considered", it is sheer crap, provedly so, on its own factual record of usage that it won't face or consider, let alone theoretical consideration by people who (unlike the rank imbeciles involved in its production) actually understand the world.
mircea_popescu: yes well, let's not confuse the inept products of idiots with the broader categories. trezor is
a specific piece of shit, not something as lofty as "
a hardware wallet".
Guest45857: hello, i would like to ask about trezor security. in your opinion is safer
a properly air gapped computer or specific hardware wallet like trezor?
mircea_popescu: idea is for it to be
a push-button stick, so you can !!v from internet cafe without worry.
mircea_popescu: so basically ima have to make
a new nsa to make the item in question ?
mircea_popescu: (re the above fg, it ain't for sale ; we'll eventually make
a new batch, but it isn't
a high priority yet.)
mircea_popescu: should self-populate with
a key by contact with
a fg, and should be able to readily destroy the key.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously the question becomes : should ave1 complete the 0-footprint eucrypt wrapper, can the next nsa product be
a push-button decryptor -- specificaly
a usb-like stick with
a button, which produces
a decrypted.filename for every filename found on stick at button push ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the saga continues (and also, you have what looks like
a stranded > right after the "leave your comment" heading)
BingoBoingo: shinohai: There is plenty of source material to cite. Care to write up for Qntra
a summary of February's events in the Republic?
a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 20:01 phf: diana_coman: i was also getting some boundary issues with different bitrate issues, i couldn't figure out if it can take any natural value, or there's some specifica subranges that i have to stick to. when i spot checked with values like 1200 (or whatever), it would fail deep inside absorbblock. i'll test it again not that i have
a bit of free time and see if i can reproduce
a111: Logged on 2018-03-01 17:59 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu diana_coman: my mistake, the box is not raid5 compatible, it can do raid1 and raid10. is this okay and do you have
a preference between the two?

a better rsatron and I'll use that instead.

spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-01#1786626 <-- I ran it on Debian/Adacore 2016 -- system ld is version 2.29.1, and I expect Adacore uses that instead of its own, otherwise I can't explain the behaviour. I'll also give it
a try on
a Gentoo with same adacore. static inline should be safe from the pov of linkage, but yeah, there's
a more general problem there that might benefit from
a config.h/system.h or something similar. that or
a ☝︎ diana_coman: but anyway, if there is
a problem there I want to hear about it
phf: i'm trying to establish if i was seeing
a bug, and if it sounds like i might've been i'll try and track it down again
phf: Sponge, presumably it should take any length bitstreams for input/output, and some value of bitrate between 1-width. i was calling it with some 10-1000 bitstreams, and
a value of bitrate somewhere around 1200
phf: diana_coman: i was also getting some boundary issues with different bitrate issues, i couldn't figure out if it can take any natural value, or there's some specifica subranges that i have to stick to. when i spot checked with values like 1200 (or whatever), it would fail deep inside absorbblock. i'll test it again not that i have
a bit of free time and see if i can reproduce
☟︎ phf: i'll try my implementation against arbitrary binary data, because right now i'm still passing in C strings essentially. (i've discovered the null trim issue because one of the buffers ran short, and had stale data in it, so ada was getting
a character, where null was expected, but the data itself didn't have anything umseemly about it)
diana_coman: anyways, I'll publish
a bit later today chapter 12 and it has the updated Hash too
phf: diana_coman: take
a look at my recent code for ada/c interop. i've not read your C code closely, but i think you might be missing Trim_Nul => False/Append_Nul => False on your to_c to to_ada, which would trigger sporadic exceptions in the interface code
diana_coman: ave1, my current solution is to pass the length as
a separate parameter indeed and in addition to actually copy octet by octet; To_C and To_Ada still fail me on occasion so I can't really rely on them - this might be of course because I don't fully understand them yet; in any case, please write it up, pretty please
a111: Logged on 2018-02-28 15:57 mircea_popescu: ave1 you should ; also read through the eucrypt thing, ima (for instance) need someone to package it into
a cmd line gpg replacement as soon as next wek.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-28 15:07 diana_coman: ave1 have you ever passed
a char * from c to ada in such
a way that ada actually sees the correct length for it? there is something I don't quite understand there as To_C seems to use Target'Length so the length should be set
ave1: diana_coman: this,
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-28#1786496, triggered
a short dive into the whole array sending mechanism in Ada. Will write it up and post tomorrow, yes it is possible but you'll need to make some internal structure that Ada uses. Also I doubt it is much better than sending the pointer with
a separate length parameter.

☟︎ jhvh1: shinohai: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure the code is
a valid currency (1 more message)
phf: mircea_popescu: i think
a line got lost at $where .= ...
phf: i think there might still be
a bunch of cool stuff like that hidden in your themes, that's not in wp-mp

a wp admin setting, or apache?
mod6: Ladies and Gentlemen of The Most Serene Republic, The Bitcoin Foundation - State of Bitcoin Address will be delayed maybe
a few days -- however it will be published by March 5th, regardless.
ben_vulpes: thanks for reminding me about that; i'll answer in
a bit along with your q's on the blog
a little later, attention currently demanded elsewhere
a111: Logged on 2018-02-18 19:22 mircea_popescu: is there any interest in this line with current management ? get
a storage unit somewhere in uruguay, pile up all the pogos and other non-replenishables ?
mircea_popescu: bill gates, like any other "oligarch", was made in ye olde socialist manner of "the great inca decrees so-and-so is to fill the role of great rich businessman". it is entirely
a paper-only affair of the substance, and of the nature, AND EVEN OF THE FORM! of "joining the hood", carefully not to be scam, and rich through having numbers in bank account etc.
ben_vulpes: and in other offensively stupid crap: "The private key, or PIN is what gives your bitcoin its value...Digital platforms like Coinbase don't give users
a bitcoin PIN" holy crap the word salad
