mircea_popescu: they never will. the browser process as it exists is almost an exact mirror of the us "democracy" electroal process.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 05:30:29; trinque: BingoBoingo: I would much rather download someone's signed lisp program and run that locally than have this horrible half-creature that grabs code from everywhere, tries to "sandbox" it, and runs without so much as a gpg fart in the wind
BingoBoingo: Also actual computers, a rarity: "With machines for advanced analysis no such situation existed; for there was and is no extensive market; the users of advanced methods of manipulating data are a very small part of the population. There are, however, machines for solving differential equations—and functional and integral equations, for that matter. There are many special machines, such as the harmonic synthesizer which predicts
BingoBoingo: ointer is varied as it moves, the line becomes light or dark in accordance with the potential." << Are we getting spooked yet?
BingoBoingo: ength. There is a built-in photocell on the walnut such as we now have on at least one camera, which automatically adjusts exposure for a wide range of illumination. There is film in the walnut for a hundred exposures, and the spring for operating its shutter and shifting its film is wound once for all when the film clip is inserted. It produces its result in full color. It may well be stereoscopic, and record with two spaced glas
BingoBoingo: <punkman> I assumed "save-as" meant a button already in my browser << Of all things Chromium on OpenBSd has this along with most other browsers
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: as for that quote, agreed - I should have quoted 3 paragraphs up.
punkman: the save-as button I have, does work in many occasions. but mostly doesn't
punkman: I assumed "save-as" meant a button already in my browser
punkman: BingoBoingo: ok, how do I save-as on vimeo?
BingoBoingo: <punkman> save-as doesn't work << If it doesn't the problem is higher up your toolchain
BingoBoingo: <punkman> ben_vulpes: same idea, does vlc support as many sources though? << VLC, Parole, pretty much eveything works
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267314 << for the record, ascribing purpose to phenomena is basically animism 2.0, and just as medieval as the other thing. for all you know gauss was not "a bit of a coward", and your p[rojection into the future whebn discussing einstein more indicative of an anachronistic mind than some sort of valuable intuition. for all you know gauss just didn't think the idiots arou ☝︎
punkman: save-as doesn't work
punkman: ben_vulpes: same idea, does vlc support as many sources though?
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> youtube-dl? << Or save-as
mircea_popescu: occasionally i fish through the mire, as a curiosity thing. but it's quite different
ben_vulpes: herr mircea_popescu has as well, you're in good company
BingoBoingo: s reading might well shy away from an examination calculated to show how much of the previous month's efforts could be produced on call. Mendel's concept of the laws of genetics was lost to the world for a generation because his publication did not reach the few who were capable of grasping and extending it; and this sort of catastrophe is undoubtedly being repeated all about us, as truly significant attainments become lost in the
BingoBoingo: trinque: Fastmail.fm isn't the shittiest. Can't really endorse any email provider, but they are the least condemned as far as I know.
assbot: As We May Think - Vannevar Bush - The Atlantic ... ( http://bit.ly/1JS7kSD )
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> I don't see how you'll be able to reference things on WoTnet further than "the joe I know with this pub key" << Publication. Paper and film only have the problem that they are slow and take too much volume for their information density. Why should machines not offer a path at least as safe.
trinque: as in, google does self-driving cars and definitely not surveillance
trinque: surveillance apparatus as far as I can tell
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267251 << moreover, if gpg messages were code rather than data i'd have gpg rewritten to a thing that keeps messages strictly as data. BingoBoingo exactly has it : there is no room nor need for every bit of text to be "really code". i want my nano to be UNABLE to do anything whatsoever with the text. which is why i use nano rather than emacs. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: the "scaffolding" will evolve as you go
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, lets pass around javascript turds as FLAC files so we can infect our machines with cassette tapes
BingoBoingo: trinque: Than do as I do, and don't run it.
trinque: BingoBoingo: I would much rather download someone's signed lisp program and run that locally than have this horrible half-creature that grabs code from everywhere, tries to "sandbox" it, and runs without so much as a gpg fart in the wind ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: Partially through translating the imaxima LaTeX stuff such that you can take a maxima AST, view it as LaTeX, maxima syntax or lisp all at the CLIM listener.
gabriel_laddel: so, this doesn't happen in lisp because everything IS it's own AST, as is.
gabriel_laddel: punkman: the problem with creating "DSLs" in ALGOL is that you end up losing M-. (jump to definition) and any ability you may have had to interact with the AST of the previous programming language (read: the actual language, as it is the thing that contains all the semantics) when you change the syntax
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You have to understand I am appraoching this as a trained Librarian. Scripting is at best a form of highlighting (never a reason for broswerscript or postscript to be turing complete) Everything else it does is vandalism
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 02:24:59; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1266831 << i don't know the fella personally, but as i gather his main problem is starvation. it makes people foolish, i speak from experience
assbot: Logged on 05-09-2015 02:38:55; mircea_popescu: in today's lulz : it turns out that bitcoin-qt interface, if presented with a malformed value such as 1,275 btc instead of the 1.275 notation,
mircea_popescu: mats that's nice to have. i always puzzled over the incredibly poor security of mobile as a design decision ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1266831 << i don't know the fella personally, but as i gather his main problem is starvation. it makes people foolish, i speak from experience ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: very spiffy little monograph on a/v stego in there, as well
asciilifeform: it isn't as if these trials took place in the court of some independent sovereign
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 00:57:08; mircea_popescu: "s-as-effort-to-rescue-bitcoin-falters" hahahaha WHAT ?
mats: howbout reasons why win10 ain't so bad as win7, 8, 8.1. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ben_vulpes: i just saw 'benkay' logged in and was inquiring, as i hadn't seen that handle in a coon's age. << Coon vernacular for that period of time is "a minute" now

BingoBoingo: Features Adam Corolla, also known as low rent Tim Allen
shinohai: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/541121/allegations-of-dirty-tricks-as-effort-to-rescue-bitcoin-falters/ <<< kek
danielpbarron: another key point is that it is never the virgin who is the victim; it's either her father or her husband. So the modern notion of "cheating" does not apply. It's not adultery for a married man to have sex with another woman so long as she isn't also married to another man
danielpbarron: shinohai, the key is that the chicks had already been with other dudes who they then should have married. To be honest, I'm not sure if it counts as adultery or not.
BingoBoingo has a few million satoshis on Venus to beat Serena. It's been a while, so might as well try this again to remind myself why I stopped.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 16:54:55; ascii_field: very doubtful that anything will come of it, but at present time no one, afaik, has so much as asked them.
mircea_popescu: i'm thus marking cryptostorm as a russia today of another failgroup.
mircea_popescu: the fact that they list 3 items, all three being from the list of usg-pretend-issues as opposed to the list of actual issues resolves to my mind the propaganda vs information dilemma. this is in no way related to reality, and entirely the result of how someoine wants reality to appear. any similarities to actual reality being purely coincidental.
ascii_field: as per the 'crank bait' thread.
mircea_popescu: (and the reason there isn't such a thing as "a barter market" should be illuminating for the whole thing)
jurov: And it shall come to pass as it was written "Leviticus 20:13 If a man lays with another man, he should be stoned" - that marijuana and gay merriage were legalized on the same day
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 20:08:37; trinque: phf: I can see that point, but I see the problem as a matter of what rules are imposed, not that they are imposed.
trinque: ;;later tell mircea_popescu made some updates to deedbot.org, added F.A.Q. which will grow more today. Of particular note, more sensible URLs, and a separate download for each bundle as it was hashed.
Apocalyptic: same result as with qemu-system-i386 that I originally tried, SeaBios fails with "Non-system disk or disk error"
ascii_field: very doubtful that anything will come of it, but at present time no one, afaik, has so much as asked them. ☟︎
asciilifeform: as for memorable passwords, i cannot possibly give any useful advice other than 'know more than one and preferably more than two languages'
funkenstein_: As to the sabiduría indígena, it's not worth tying people down to lecture them any more than it is to stick bitcoins up some random grandmother's ass
funkenstein_: and some scathing social commentary, which I believe if you are as much a fan of the writing of mircea_popescu as I am, you will enjoy
funkenstein_: which while admittedly could be dismissed as cyberpunk pulp with a 7th grade vocabulary, I still claim kicks ass
funkenstein_: the vocabulary of "sleeve" as vehicle of consciousness originated in Richard K Morgan's "Takeshi Kovac" trilogy
pete_dushenski: "An Uberized education is when --as in antiquity -- one goes to a specific teacher to get lectures, bypassing the university. The students and the teachers are thus matched. If a piece of paper is necessary, it would be given by *that* teacher, or a group of teachers. It is not too different from the decentralized apprentice model." -herr taleb
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hehe, presumably via "As to the second point, that America > Europe because the former is in any way free of its own rent-seeking mandarin class, to quote an alf, look no further than USGavin, Paul Graham, Blablalawsky and their continued ability to buy groceries and pay rent."
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski, BingoBoingo: my understanding is that the tracking box is meant as a 'penal' thing for folks who had their rates go through the roof from chronically getting into wrecks - to try to get something like a sane price again
pete_dushenski: then again, i say this as someone who wouldn't drive a car at all if i could only afford to drive a tracking beacon
pete_dushenski: "Starting last month, New York City began tracking about 400 people's driving habits, including how much gas they use, when they drive, where they are, and how fast their cars go. The program, called "Drive Smart," promises drivers discounts of up to 30 percent on their Allstate auto insurance, as well as "incentive rewards valued at $25," according to the program website.
asciilifeform: 'The FBI’s theatrical professions of regret over Vicki’s death belied the fact that the battalion of combat-outfitted law enforcement personnel on the scene at Ruby Ridge celebrated the killing as a noble victory: With full knowledge that Mrs. Weaver was dead, they named their staging area “Camp Vicki,” and used a public address system to taunt Randy and his by pretending to speak on behalf of his dead wife.'
asciilifeform: 'Horiuchi’s comrades offered the same defense of the FBI sniper’s murderous actions at Ruby Ridge. By killing Vicki, he acted “to save lives,” insisted fellow FBI sniper Dale Monroe. Like the unnamed Iraqi woman, Vicki must be regarded as a hateful, irrational, marginally human creature who simply didn’t understand that when the Empire makes a proprietary claim on you and your family, it is not only a crime but a sin
trinque: mircea_popescu: it is sha256 of the bundle's deed joined by \n - which is used as a private key - from which the pubkey and address are produced
mircea_popescu: other direction ? you kidding man, not shot as much as a bb round this way.
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally, re midnightmagic's question, i don't recall the format. was it the deeds get concatenated with \n as aseparator, sha512'd and that's the pubkey for the spend ?
asciilifeform: as all of my '89's wandered off
asciilifeform: just as the 89 series did
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha. fella once known as b00lcrap. he swore he knew where he hid his key though, so he may yet come back to life.
asciilifeform: given as things did not turn to shit while they were in his hands - i must say yes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform me is unpersuaded as to this talent.
asciilifeform: trinque: you so much as entertained the notion that it is ~not~ a scam ?!!
asciilifeform: it is not so much about permission as it is about enculturation.
mircea_popescu: but yers, for as long as you delude yourself into needing permission, guess what.
asciilifeform: not the same as surrender.
mircea_popescu: so now we're going to spin as "it's not rape if we wilfully spread for mp's will" ? mmmmkay.
mats: maybe. i know of no less than a dozen folks that did such menial labor as retail slavery, telephone support slavery, etc... that got hired on in dev roles after furnishing a repo populated through a year with code motivated by said slavery
mircea_popescu: there are fields where careers exist. you can have a career as a surgeon. oncologist diagnosticians in particular are the fathers of all careerdom,
asciilifeform: as pictured in the very relevant mircea_popescu piece, 'this is not money that anyone had to work to earn and save, it is created with a button press'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265852 << re: this and the entire thread: it might surprise mircea_popescu, but i have never seen this idiocy alive up close, nor know anyone who will attest to having done so; it is really a west coast / sv thing as far as i can tell. ☝︎
asciilifeform: of becoming furnace stokers and night watchmen instead of engineers, as per the su example.
asciilifeform: as in, failing to properly serve satan in his hour of need (tm)
asciilifeform: as per the su example
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not 'because the people' so much as 'because not giving a fuck'
mircea_popescu: kdomanski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265817 and the next coupla work as a standard i'd say. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:10:38; assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 00:32:12; mircea_popescu: <shinohai> What kind of poppycock is that? Won't hire me if I have been negative online. << it's not hiring as much as living wage layer two. do you want to be like the niggers, getting free pills and welfare checks ? that's living wage layer zero. move to the ghetto. are you instead happy with the minimum wage, tax rebates, etc bullshit ? that's layer one, move
kdomanski: well I'm uncertain what in your mind qualifies as "backing them (opinions) up"
mircea_popescu: if the people you talk about may have opinions, then this doesn't affect them. if it does, then they should have gotten their head out of their ass, understood their situation as slaves and put more effort into massaging the cock of their owners more betterer.
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 00:32:12; mircea_popescu: <shinohai> What kind of poppycock is that?

davout: "Requesting contributions before being heard is a pretty low stab as well - you are basically saying that opinions gain worth with merit." <<< oh god
davout: trinque: it has unicorns installable as a convenient ruby gem
mircea_popescu: as jurov's not actually said anything re his theoretically present but upon examination inexistent connection or w/e it was, this leaves the problem of where to host open.
