asciilifeform: hanbot: there we go.
asciilifeform: mats: which? the gcc linker happily munching soup ?
mats: asciilifeform: I find this unbelievable
asciilifeform: 'We are unable to explain the true nature of these patches in public because they guard against absolutely terrible DoS exploits that can take down ANY Bitcoin node. So instead we called it, "Minor efficiency improvement in block peer request handling." which is somewhat true of the patch.'
mircea_popescu: the blonde without a piece of paper saying breathe and the usian without his cockhead in his own mouth would just fall over and die.
asciilifeform: you have a family your willingness to be a martyr diminishes. The same is true of many of my colleagues. Hopefully my support for Bitcoin can help undo some of the damage we've done, but I do have to be careful and it's tough to take all the precautions I need to to be able to communicate. If it was found out that I was involved with Bitcoin that way I have been, let's just say there would be consequences...'
asciilifeform: 'Just so you know this stuff about Tor has me worried... Please don't make this public, but my day job involves intelligence, and I'm in a relatively high position. You know, I went into the job years ago with very different thoughts about it than I do now. The last, well, decade really has changed a lot of minds in this field, in totally different ways. Myself I am on the side of Snowden and Assange, but... lets just say when
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I feel you there, my dosimeter has been peaked for a while
BingoBoingo: Do you have a free shiva hand for that?
asciilifeform: 'FWIW adding SSL to the protocol is a fairly relatively non-invasive change. It might be worthwhile to implement that first as a means to test the developers you wish to hire to later implement partial mode.' << l0l!!
asciilifeform ought to visit the place where he has a vintage sgi octane-II rusting away, and port to that
hanbot: well, machine/os i've got for testing is what i've got for testing. why not, indeed.
mircea_popescu: seems "nobody else did it" is a huge reason to.
asciilifeform: it's a curious first choice, that's all.
hanbot: <asciilifeform> hanbot: dollars to doughnuts you built a x86-64 component and it somehow got linked ! << ah thanks. rather than cutting up binaries/recompiling with symbols i'm going to look at this, seems the more likely explanation.
asciilifeform: gcc linker is dumb as a brick, but we knew this.
asciilifeform: (i presume hanbot is actually testing on a machine running in 32-bit mode)
asciilifeform: hanbot: dollars to doughnuts you built a x86-64 component and it somehow got linked !
asciilifeform: stripped bin is gonna look like that paste, buncha ????s
asciilifeform: hanbot: or at least lemme have the binary

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ahahaha. broke fat louse has rulesets ? << They have the strictest rulesets sinc ethey aren't getting fucked outside of an accident. They pretend scarcity of opportunities is standards.
hanbot: in latest ml adventure, rotor-test2 for i686 makes a static bitcoind that gives sigill w/ LC_ALL=C (and won't run w/o it): http://dpaste.com/0J6HXAH
asciilifeform just had mindfuck moment, read the title of that piece without realizing what language it was in
BingoBoingo: trinque: ANd for that purpose, gotta keep the cabin utilitarian so the help doesn't get temped to burn gas dicking around.
trinque: BingoBoingo: yeah, I've got no love for those giant ones aside from their utility re: actual work
assbot: Hive (@hivewallet) | Twitter ... ( http://bit.ly/1NQM7vk )
asciilifeform: https://twitter.com/hivewallet << this apparently
BingoBoingo: trinque: Anyways compact pickup over KING MEGA RANCH 6500 because what if one needs to go to Mexico cheaply?
mircea_popescu: anyway. they sorta-read ba, mostly indirectly, and pretend like they're their own item. which is... you know, most people out there anyway.
asciilifeform: 0FBEF185 does not appear to match any publicly-known pubkeys for pete@petertodd.org >>>>> https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=pete%40petertodd.org&op=index
mircea_popescu: none of the names mentioned belong to anyone of any consequence, in bitcoin or in their immediate communities.
mircea_popescu: "people like mp who don't have to retract shit on a daily - or even decade-ally - basis would be at an unfair advantage!11"
mircea_popescu: "imagine how nervewracking it were if you had to stick behind what you say! as a politician no less!"

asciilifeform: from the operator's laziness ?
asciilifeform: i assumed that this was lifted off todd's hdd or the like
mircea_popescu: you can tell by all the breadcrumbs the use of pgp is so insecure it's outright spurious.
asciilifeform: who the fuq thought this belonged in a pgptron ?!
asciilifeform: 'aka "[jpeg image of size 5220]"' << i always l0lld from this misfeature
asciilifeform: 'Why not go ahead and say it? You know that Mike and similar will counter-argue that mining needs to be done by "responsible" central authority figures running pools, so let them make that bogus argument...'
BingoBoingo: trinque: Harder than finding money that wouldn't be better spent elsewhere is finding a suitable vehicle to start from.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dafuq's that
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: many things are not sold now. e.g., passenger cars with more than 5 or so years of life in'em << There are ways to squeeze more life out of them, but the horrors plasticar (model year 2003) has been through...
trinque: BingoBoingo: can't fault you that
mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/4BcycXUu << i dunno if anyone actually gives a shit, but for those curious to see how the huddling-in-the-dark half lives...
asciilifeform: (this is not coincidence, but rather how long it takes the typical schmuck to pay off the credit for the thing)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: many things are not sold now. e.g., passenger cars with more than 5 or so years of life in'em
BingoBoingo: It is impossible to buy new small trucks in the United States because they simply aren't sold anymore. Sure you can buy used, but the used ones are only being sold because the previous owners either wrung all the life they could out of them or they are stupid.
trinque: This sort of hipsterism is native to Portland. If someone's rich, they're the self-deprecating kind of rich that winks at the camera while decrying the evils of money
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe when he was writing, but this problem like many other prophetic Orwell things materialized in another form. Like a shannonizer from hell that takes Orwell's words and spews an output into USian reality.
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2014 03:57:29; asciilifeform: "On the far side of the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously beetle-like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal-tall muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree - e
trinque: The great mass of human beings are not acutely selfish. << from the essay; Orwell seemed to have a deep love of the beoble. If only all these selfish elites would get out of the way, the selflessness of the common man would shine through.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'It is forbidden to dream again; / We maim our joys or hide them: / Horses are made of chromium steel / And little fat men shall ride them.' << Oh he was writing about Today's luxury mega trucks that could tow 12,000 pounds but instead ferry 400 pounder to their daily McBeetus run
asciilifeform: 'It is forbidden to dream again; / We maim our joys or hide them: / Horses are made of chromium steel / And little fat men shall ride them.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they say knowing what's needed is half the battle!
mircea_popescu: ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued."
mircea_popescu: "I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary
asciilifeform: that way folks wouldn't perforate bumper in the night
assbot: Logged on 27-05-2015 18:05:40; ascii_field: i keep pet. other people, if they like, can keep livestock
mircea_popescu: (which is why people fuck their secretaries. you really can't be any good unless intimately acquainted)
mircea_popescu: a well trained woman to whom you can say "do so and so" and she can and does.
asciilifeform has a good deal of material like this, but in nothing like publishable form because ars longa...
asciilifeform: it is tempting.
mircea_popescu: care to put some selections on your blog ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: he did not often stoop to answering the tards, but sometimes could not avoid.
asciilifeform: it was as 'mean girlz' as anything from tardstalk-mpoe-era
asciilifeform: i was recently enjoying an anthology of the collected personal correspondence of n. tesla
asciilifeform: they had this!
mircea_popescu: they exchange pictures and isn't it adorable what did the mean people say blablabla.
mircea_popescu: now it's like the fucking women took over, everyone's in the "mommy community".
mircea_popescu: IN THEOIR GARAGE
mircea_popescu: except at the time everyone was a scientist in their garage
asciilifeform: we are perhaps at the level of ampere and faraday, analogously, but nowhere near maxwell.
mircea_popescu: that there's so precious little intellectual effort dedicated to the topic is prolly the saddest manifest of a dead culture.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, there seems no possible question that the nakamoto paper is a (tenuous) footbridge rather than any sort of wall.
mircea_popescu: ah, i'm disorganised. from literary criticism to actual agriculture
mircea_popescu: orwell for that matter displays it plainly, which is among the few facts pleading in favour of his intelligence.
asciilifeform: what's mircea_popescu's corner? economitronics of the 1880s ?
mircea_popescu: i think anyone with a serious interest in human thought has a corner they use just in that manner you describe.
asciilifeform: reads quite like this.
asciilifeform: at any rate, the matter prior to heaviside nailing down maxwell's eqs to their modern form (maxwell had 20 eqs in that many unknowns!),
asciilifeform: (at the time, 'electrician' meant roughly what 'solid state physicist' means today, but minus the derpatronic aspect)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all of this reminds me of a secret pleasure of mine - reading 'electrician' scientific publications from the era of heaviside
mircea_popescu: there's possibly a third item too.
mircea_popescu: two extant problems being alf's provability and my economics/scam thing.
mircea_popescu: i think ironically the "basic bitcoin" exercise has illustrated we're not yet in a theoretically-complete position. damned close but not there.
BingoBoingo: Incidently the whistle pig is the only animal model available for studying the Hepatitis B virus other than chimpanzees
asciilifeform: there is a long student tradition of writing 'quines', programs which display themselves.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ask the 'coq' folks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, is there an academiwank dedicated to programs that prove properties of themselves ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it has to be touched, somehow. because the notion is doomed to come into play
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is something there i think but not usable as is
