BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if you have a 0.3 adapted to work on modern net, let's have it ? << I don't pussling at this dilemma as well
BingoBoingo: "That’s why Hunter, among others, had been prepping as all dedicated explorers do: crawling under her bed and contorting herself through wire hangers for reassurance... But no amount of bedroom gymnastics could prepare the team for what it would be like."
mod6: ;;later tell asciilifeform I've been testing/looking at 'v' quite a bit. Re-implementing on my own for better/full understanding (since I'm not a python guy). I'm confused about why here 'asciilifeform_and_now_we_have_eatblock.vpatch' is not listed as a descendant of mod6_fix_dumpblock_params.vpatch : http://dpaste.com/08X2Q6P.txt
trinque: as for whether tech review acknowledges it, who gives a fuck?
trinque: wd on not losing your keys as a result
trinque: there's a case to be made here that the US has (with the Saudis and Turks) created a monster; I wonder if someone such as Putin will address that.
thestringpuller: For what reason or at whose behest does such poor article get published in this reputable venue? << from http://www.technologyreview.com/news/541121/allegations-of-dirty-tricks-as-effort-to-rescue-bitcoin-falters/#comments
asciilifeform: 'Tomorrow’s test will not occur as planned. CoinWallet.eu will not be sending a single transaction. Instead, we will be giving away over 200 Bitcoins to the community. Previous tests have involved splitting bitcoins into hundreds of thousands of tiny outputs. Now, as a gift to the community, all of the private keys that contain those outputs will be posted publicly, making the coins free for the taking. ' << l0l
analmaster: as a drummer i should say
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-09-2015#1269326 << why I dropped out of college. In order to advance math degree, I would have had to take calc 3 with a prof that I knew from calc 2. She gave us assignments such as writing reports on what keys to press on the calculator to do whatever thing ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Also phone co still has microwave tower as a fallback
ben_vulpes: did your stats as well?
pete_dushenski: oncepts. I was shocked that within 30 minutes of sending, he was already linking bank acounts to Circle and signing up for multiple sites such as purse.io"
pete_dushenski: now BingoBoingo has me looking as muscly old off-roaders. and this is too, too sharp in red http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-G-Class-5-Doors-/262036024935?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3d02906e67&item=262036024935
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Every year I've got a combine (as in the farm equipment) and car demolition derby on back to back days hundreds of feet aways
BingoBoingo: We hoard wealth, are conservative as hell, and eat idiots
mod6: <asciilifeform> please consider updating therealbitcoin www to include the actually usable version thereof ? << The only reason I'm holdin' back here is we don't have a certified release as of yet. Will consider putting up v0.5.4-TEST2
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: if you're mystified as to wtf all of this was, these old gadgets are (literally) 'derive.exe'-in-a-can. << Seriously on the AP Calculus test machine and knowing how to use it was THE trump card.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're mystified as to wtf all of this was, these old gadgets are (literally) 'derive.exe'-in-a-can. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i regard it as the mark of a thinking man's computer
asciilifeform: greek appeared on the early lisp machine keyboards, as well
asciilifeform: shinohai: didja have one of these as a boy ?
asciilifeform: as i understand this presently exists as a deliberately-crafted commercial product, used in cameras. but picture if it were picked up by cn artisans of flimflam
Birdman: Ah, i'd been inactive as there wasnt anything i could do until i get my bank roll up
mircea_popescu: no locals engaging ? of course no locals. don't worry abut it, usg will ship foreign armed thugs across the border for as long as it takes you to kill it.
mircea_popescu: "On the eve of what may likely be another effort by the white liberal media to fan the flames of race war in Baltimore, I’m not seeing as much flammable human material as the media priesthood would have us believe. Surely there will be enough entitled racist foot soldiers to set another 154 fires at least, to empty another four dozen pharmacies and liquor stores, terrorizing more of their fellow blacks than anyone.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?
cazalla: because, you know, earning the label requires taking your kid to the gp, to a specialist, to an expert, a support group, filling out paperwork for gov autism assistance bezzlars.. wow look at all this attention my kid is getting, must be special and therefore, so am i as a parent, please Like and subscribe
cazalla: an anecdote, but parents want to label their kids autistic as adhd has been done to death
mircea_popescu: yeah blockchain's aobut as useful as a suntime umbrella.
jurov: first spam victim, as usual :)
mircea_popescu: "we have no answers and are too fat and lazy to move, so let's just agree they will be supplied for free from the ethers as we need them"
mircea_popescu: Now I guess one could argue that those sorts of heroes are what MIT is supposed to produce, but as has been mentioned, this course is not just for CS students. So the real question is, can the CS heroes of tomorrow survive an introductory course in Python? Well, consider that they have probably been modding games since 10, hacking PhP at 12, realizing at 14 they need to learn a 'real' language (C#, Ruby, Python), by 15
mircea_popescu: Eventually, it is utterly hopeless. You stand and try not to lose any of your possessions as the crowd crushes in around you."
mircea_popescu: With time, new arrivals stand around you, generally trying not to step onto your blanket. As the beginning of the event approaches, you find yourself staring into the rather private areas of those who arrived after you, and might even feel a bit of resentment at their impertinence.
mircea_popescu: "Anyone who has arrived early at a general admission event will recognize the feeling. You lay out your blanket, thus marking off a small piece of territory for yourself. The other early arrivals do the same. After a while, you start to feel as though that patch of land is yours by right.
thestringpuller: 16:55 < Aquentin> if we're ever so lucky as to make use of 8gb blocks
jurov: as in, you have a deal with miner?
ascii_field: given as the overwhelming brunt of the load is on crud rejection
assbot: All of the Nopes: "There is no such thing as the crime of 'rape'" and that's arguably not the worst part : againstmensrights ... ( http://bit.ly/1JmXd7o )
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/againstmensrights/comments/3c1pry/all_of_the_nopes_there_is_no_such_thing_as_the/
ascii_field: i do not regard it as usable
ascii_field: so long as it is not RETARDED
ben_vulpes: because the way that argparse suggests you set up function calls is stupid as hell!
ascii_field: as in, why the fuck do i have to change something in 3 separate places when adding a knob
ben_vulpes: (as in to #b-a)
ascii_field: my initial 'v' presses rel1 and the bleeding-edge rel2, yes, but it ought to be regarded as a proof-of-concept
ben_vulpes: mike_c: i posted a tarball, as i did some messy surgery and expected brutal diffs. if you can get cleaner diffs, that'd be great.
mike_c: whelp, the foundation might as well have an implementation
ascii_field: just as modern pocket calculators generally agree on arithmetic.
mircea_popescu: iirc that was left as a maybe.
ascii_field: jurov: basic principle, at least in my variant of its statement, was that an unknown endpoint is to be listened to STRICTLY for as long as it takes to establish that it can sign with a key that you wot.
mircea_popescu: when you say ddos people are going to assume you mean, you know, as it is.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and so as alf would point out, "nothing hapepened"
ascii_field: trinque, jurov: if device which silently drops unsigned (or signed by unblessed) packets straight on the floor were mass-produced and inexpensive, ddos as a thing ends.
ben_vulpes: it should run with python -m unittest from the same directory as v, but...
trinque: aha, and I discussed it with you before as well
mircea_popescu is looking forward to thew v-tron being misrepresented as "drm".
shinohai: He never responded to my queries as to why he is too good to sign binaries he barfs out to the wider internet.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if you - or anybody else - can write something recognizable as this item, i promise to take off my hat
trinque: BingoBoingo: certainly; e-mail itself sucks, and I'm ready to accept that it's as bad as using facebook messenger, and let someone else run spamassassin day and night
ascii_field: trinque: 'экраноплан' - but think of it as a very fast gunboat, rather than a plane
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: self-steering projectile ~really~ wants to be a rocket, not only because guidance apparatus costs and so may as well include large warhead, but also because changing direction kills velocity if all you got is the acceleration in the barrel (classical bullet)
ascii_field: doesn't mean quite same thing as 'happened' aha
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: consonants wander as you go west
mircea_popescu: pointedly no judgement as to likeliness or future course of events is made
trinque: I eagerly await the overturning of the world, as it has been chewing the back of my mind a long while.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267816 << to continue this thread, my contention is that while many things I write with special notation could just as well be s-exprs, making me read and write these things as s-exprs is catastrophic ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267858 << who speaks chinese here ? fluently ? because as your point re google : chinese speaker in fucking china is about as useful or important as dung beetle. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: different tools for different jobs as it were. the corrosive substance of usg-ness makes anyth9ng on the public net vulnerable, and zerging the only possible approach to survival.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the 'checkpoint' thing is actually useless as implemented now, it merely skips verification for the listed blocks
BingoBoingo: But as a point, properly made furniture does in fact not include nails
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 11:43:38; asciilifeform: just as properly made furniture does not contain glue.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267823 << as a factual matter, this is not true. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: try telling that to as-saffah tho, "i've lost baghdad once a week"
mircea_popescu: and it has proven this point in medieval places, such as iraq.
ascii_field: shinohai: as if it were difficult to make master keys based on disassembled lock.
ascii_field: 'You see, not only are they trying to get us to pay them for using a few ink splotches, but as it turns out, the ink splotches don't belong to them in the first place! Our cover artist happened to keep meticulous records (probably not something they anticipated) and traced the source of the ink splotches to a Finnish artist...'
jurov: that it isn't such a scam as the price indicates and can probably bear the blockchain
shinohai: Same as the old days bitcoind getbalance, etc
asciilifeform: ergo paper gold is not market-separable, as it is, from actual gold; and usg silently prints it
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 19:35:54; mircea_popescu: irl, settlement's a paperwoirk affair and actual delivery is much disconsidered. as a token of the fact that everyone involved would muchly want reality to match their representation to the degree of absolute identity. so they desconsider the later.
asciilifeform: ~nobody but crackpots~ actually takes delivery, as per http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-08-2015#1240741 ☝︎
asciilifeform: such as a u.s. bank box
asciilifeform: shinohai: aha. so long as you store it in a properly-search-and-confiscation-enabled container
funkenstein_: well if we work for the benefit of archaeologists, might as well throw them a bone once in a while :)
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 20:46:17; asciilifeform: but, as every treatise on the subject invariably begins with, first try to understand what is to be hidden - and from whom
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 03:51:24; mircea_popescu: mats that's nice to have. i always puzzled over the incredibly poor security of mobile as a design decision
asciilifeform: even something as mundane as 'show pictures' is VASTLY nontrivial from the sanity perspective
asciilifeform: because www as we have it is ~intrinsically~ retarded.
asciilifeform: and this seeps into browsers, and not - as commonly supposed - only the reverse.
asciilifeform: shinohai: i run a mailserver, of approximately the same kind as mircea_popescu, but when i need to communicate with 'civilians' i end up forced to use gmail.
asciilifeform: items like 'nano' is precisely how the unix crud remained dominant among thinking people for as long as it did. it has a clean coat on the outside, and presents the illusion of hygiene, for so long as you do not care to look inside. in EXACTLY the same way as a coffin hides the decay of a corpse.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267570 << this kind of 'macro' has precisely as much to do with lisp macros as microshit excel macros do. which is to say, NOTHING AT ALL. they are as closely related as cat is to chair - both have four legs, that's it ☝︎
asciilifeform: a good bit of the 'modern' www has dynamically loaded text, even, just as a pill against folks using lynx etc
asciilifeform: same as before
asciilifeform: just as properly made furniture does not contain glue. ☟︎
Naphex: web video as in the new mp4 and webrtc is pretty much useless for low-latency video streaming
