mircea_popescu: the problem of old people is that they don't think they may have permission to exist.
mircea_popescu: "i need X for X" "wouldn't it be cool if X then i could Y" etc.
phf: it seems like a fun thing to do when you're young though, as long as you don't sit in the dock all the time ermagerd
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my understanding is that many of the folks doing the boat thing (and we have them even here in dc) don't go far from the parking dock.
mircea_popescu: no, "live on boat" is more of the same adolescentine male fantasy displayed by overfed neotenic preteens captive in aging, sagging bodies that won't grow up for the life of them.
asciilifeform: realize, the 2k/mo i wouldn't be paying in rent buys quite a few fixed leaks.
mircea_popescu: you're going to fix leaks alone when you couldn't as much as buldgeon to death a puny taxman.
mircea_popescu: and if you can't talk to women - BE MORE SELECTIVE AS TO THE WOMEN YOU TALK TO!!11
mircea_popescu: ie, if you can't afford the toilet paper in monaco, that doesn't mean it's because ofg the cost of tp you can't move there.
trinque: mircea_popescu: ah hadn't read yet; I was just throwing that in here because deedbot- was unvoiced
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But how would I get to engage in my lawncare hobby living aboard? Seawater isn't exactly a great growth medium for turfgrasses.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, lead doesn't belong in the decanted fluid. It belongs in the glass of the decanter.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i don't use dns.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't a tall pile of shit, by modern standards, but ~does~ feature ssltronics
mircea_popescu: trinque no i don't think YOU're the problem. i think ircd is the fucking problem.
mike_c: so, something that isn't there is 'last seen'
mike_c: I don't know what you guys are smoking
mircea_popescu: doesn't even have to be pm, actually. could also say here, "hey X, your deed was notarized : url"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> and/or wrap cardanos in them. << more or less was the original plan yeh. but don't be shy, give to friends.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron lmao don't tell me, the self-elected defender of public interest split with some spare change.
mircea_popescu: can't have central planning without "anti money laundering"

BingoBoingo: I dunno. His campaign is going through the phase Trump's was September-January now. "Left" didn't start vilifying him soon enough.
davout: trinque: also i think the new blog posts didn't make it to the chan due to the bot not being voiced
a111: Logged on 2016-04-16 06:23 gabriel_laddel: They don't have to be related to molecular dynamics simulations, though that is why I'm asking...
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-16#1453034 << walk the l0gz and read re muller gate / async cpu. and no we don't have well-developed algos ~specifically~ for these, because they don't exist yet. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: spleen's not infinite, kidneys don't scale, etc.
pete_dushenski: but don't take my hunches as god's word, intel dept i'm not
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: don't sleep so much ?
pete_dushenski: well if that wasn't a jam-packed week, i wouldn't be eating straight pb sandwiches right now
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-15#1452834 << l0l! 'We all know of that one person in the military that has "That Spouse" the one's who think they are entitled to the whole world, who don't have do do anything but eat twinkies and make babies. Floors cluttered with old diapers and wrappers from 6 day old cheeseburgers. Well... we got one, and we're happily giving her back to you.' << dependapotamus !!11 ☝︎
asciilifeform: most of the dough isn't anywhere near usa
mircea_popescu: we don't, but he does, apparently.
mircea_popescu: that part i understand - iso something. what i odn't understand is why no redirects, but w/e.
asciilifeform: i wasn't whining about BingoBoingo , except by mistake
mircea_popescu: routine it'll never be, don't imagine the rats are all too brave.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> BingoBoingo: eh, yeah, i doubt it. not saying that you're wrong; just that, you can't dos a channel itself. only its individuals if you know its inhabitants. << I'm not trying to imply anything other than timing of my connection's enshittening seems suspish
mod6: BingoBoingo: eh, yeah, i doubt it. not saying that you're wrong; just that, you can't dos a channel itself. only its individuals if you know its inhabitants.
danielpbarron: haven't gotten it to use its own kernel yet
shinohai: btw danielpbarron didn't you have some info stashed away somewhere on building a gentoo on pogo instead of arch?
shinohai: I'm really glad to hear that, haven't had anything to do much besides hunt for Qntra articles of late.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but it is NOT a substitute for modern electric rng << hey, i guess to an extent, i totally agree. except, we don't have a modern electirc rng.
asciilifeform: you can't distil entropy from where it does not exist, with von n
mircea_popescu: and while we're on it, where the everloving fuck did they find those incredibly pliable, ready and trained set of people of walmart ? i bet you that on a million dollar budget you can't get together actual streetwalkers in new york that strip when they hear "i'ma need you to strip".
adlai: mircea_popescu: SORRY TO HEAR YOU DIDN'T ENJOY THE MOVIE oopslock is infecshus i guess.
mircea_popescu: NEXT THEY'RE GOING TO CLAIM THINGS DON'T START WITH THE BEST GREATEST EMPIRE OF EVER!
mircea_popescu: because yeah, they totally don't need france's vote once mexico invades.
mircea_popescu: eh, they all wanna be carrie bradshaw. except they don't even put as much effort into it as the average midwestern hayseed chick
mircea_popescu: but you can't ranch without cowboys ; and argentines are truly retarded.
mod6: I think it would encrypt a string. Then decrypt it, but it wouldn't/couldn't take any different input. haha.
mircea_popescu: no he didn't ?
mircea_popescu: i don't know there's a better alternative than cs.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's anything wrong with proper, full rsa (as opposed to the neutered version implemented by pgp)
mircea_popescu: if we are in a position to say "we don't want a fork - but if you do, THIS fork will prevaly, no matter what you do, because it actually is the tech schelling point" then that's the end of that.
mircea_popescu: instead, you keep your battleship in port. this ties down the enemy, and they can't go about doing their shit normally
mod6: Ok, so i had to re-read all of that so im finally caught up here.. i didn't even consider interleaving ada with C really. i dunno why, i was just thinking it would just be its own separate deal.
asciilifeform: there isn't, note, a haskellian runtime in the thing
asciilifeform: anyway if you ain't captive your pit aint deep enough, is what i say.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason why the sort of guy that can't pass the simplest test of manhood, that pons asinorum known as the prisoner's dilemma is known as a rat.
mircea_popescu: the other's very practical : every halving is a difficult time for bitcoin. it's a more or less homeostatic structure, which means that with some periodicity will go into crisis. you don't know what crisis will rupture a vessel and give it an aneurism, but it is indubitable that the quality of alternative on offer is the best measure of its lfie expectancy.
mircea_popescu: can't sprint everything forever, it's just not possibru.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well one major question to be decided is : obviously there's the project of cleaning up extant bitcoin code ; by the discussion re july of forks, there's also the proposal to start a separate project to make an "ideal bitcoin". this proposal wasn't ever seriously discussed and i dunno that it ever was actually accepted as such.

shinohai just can't quit.
davout: didn't know
trinque: could be the index builtin on list, and he didn't bother to show that list in his code
mod6: cause really, i don't care baout the d6, i need to invent the table for d16
mod6: i actually don't care /that/ much. im trying to wrap my brain around the truth table for the d6, with three rolls.
trinque: the above doesn't work
mircea_popescu: davout> thing is i can't simply do 0.1 btc * number of outstanding bets because some of the house bets expenses have *already* been accounted against the shareholders << how and where ?
davout: thing is i can't simply do 0.1 btc * number of outstanding bets because some of the house bets expenses have *already* been accounted against the shareholders
trinque: ah I didn't release that code yet then
felipelalli: I didn't mean to be rude, I'm sorry. You can ask anything and I'll asnwer, feel free! :)
asciilifeform: just in case he doesn't grasp it.
asciilifeform: but it doesn't hurt to point out - once - that what the fella is holding is indeed his balls, and with other hand - hammer, nail.
asciilifeform: but you don't publicly swear oaths to anon chix id'd by their stage namez
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch as the deal doesn't concern you, what "our" planet ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't a question that needs an answer. if it works for him it works!
asciilifeform: 'RHAMA BONITAO' doesn't look like a pgp pubkey to me...
asciilifeform: also am i the only one who doesn't grasp the point of deedbotting dealings outside wot, with randos ...
shinohai: hmmm deedbot- isn't here :/
sbp: we don't know how many works Sappho wrote
mircea_popescu: hm. we could then correctly say your real life hasn't begun yet ?
sbp: don't, you'll give me nightmares. worse ones, I mean
sbp: I dunno man. turtles all the way down, and I don't trust any of them
sbp: yeah, even if you took a batch and decapped all of them but one, I suppose you wouldn't know for sure that that wasn't the exploited one. I don't know if it's possible to make a chip that you can audit before it's running
sbp: Wand and Shutt kept arguing about whether Shutt's expansion even worked, and I don't know the outcome of that. but let's say that Kernel (Shutt's language) does work—it's syntactically somewhat unwieldy. typing the fexprs to the arguments is very clean and easy to follow
asciilifeform: sbp: my conclusion re fexprs was that 'we can't compile this' is in ~all cases an 'epicyclic' restatement of 'our hardware is rubbish'
sbp: well, that is intended to be the compiler target of course. but I haven't finished that yet
sbp: I don't know why I wrote it in the style of a Klondike gold prospector era huckster salesman
asciilifeform: and no i didn't hand-feed him.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't know the fella at all, but he appears to read my www, that's all i know.
mircea_popescu: sbp i don't recall exactly ; possible tho.
phf: asciilifeform: there's nothing wrong with deliberate don't reconnect, twice that happened and nobody cared or noticed
asciilifeform: this 'deliberately don't reconnect' thing is mega-lame imho
asciilifeform: sbp: i don't recall it being sedit, but some msdos emulator thing called 'medley'
