mircea_popescu: and returning
to
the issue,
the good quality recipes are exactly equivalent
to
the "wot of patches" management
technique :
they allow people
to ride on
the shoulders of giants ~of
their own choice~.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact, approaching
the matter conversely, a straight github repository would be just fine from
the M perspective if it were doubled by duly deedbotted hashes of
the plaintext. and on
the other hand, irrespectively how inscrutable -r content would be just fine from a U perspective, just as long as someone can somehow convert it into a plaintext
they can sit down with, follow, and never be surprised.
mircea_popescu: this is not practicable, if for no other reason
then because
the very earth will end up growing a beard and
that'll be bad for
the climate.
mircea_popescu: i am perfectly aware
that a fine answer
to both
these is "just grow a beard", which is
to say, "know", knight style, just "what is going on" so
that you can reboot
the machine into a working state. and "know", mp style, just whop
the moles are.
mircea_popescu: the other is MANAGE. specifically - hanbot must also be able
to evaluate
the
theoretical advances in question.
mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able
to put into work
the
theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing
to work, but not able
to grow a beard".
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are very specifically
TWO
things we want
to do here, and
they are not miscible.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect we might be belabouring under
the burdens imposed by a design problem which ultimately stems from conceptual confusion.

mircea_popescu: the only kingdom of heaven accessible
to earthlinks is fucking reading and signing patches. don't want it, fine, but don't get fucking existential on me on your deathbed about how you wasted your life. yes, you have. shoulda not have.
mircea_popescu: there is NOTHING else. anything where you spend your
time for any other purpose is either a) masturbation, ie,
the xtian "building castles on sand". whether you spend
time with your kid or groom your beard or fuck
the woman, it's all sensata. or else b) uranium mines.
mircea_popescu: not how it works. it has A LOT of upside and virtually no downside. what ELSE are you going
to do with
that "money" if you don't go
to
the market ? and what ELSE are you going
to do with
that certain
time and alleged expertise if not sign
this stuff ?
mircea_popescu: e first
to 1 and
the 2nd
to 0, and
then go 1 = 0 har har.
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:19:08; decimation: plus, his original
theory was
that others should read and sign. now
this is good in
theory, but in practice has no upside and all downside
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225151 <<
this proposition is false. similarly, going
to
the market has "all downside and no upside" for goers :
they know for a fact
they'll spend money. and who knows if
the stuff
they get will be any good, won't spoil en route, won't get stolen before
they get home or for
that matter won't sprout heads and
tentacles and eat
them. so let's "safely" aka stupidly round

tard collaborators"
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:14:49;
trinque:
the barrier can be "the devs are fucking vitriolic
towards laziness"
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:14:15; ben_vulpes: i can just imagine
the arguments
mircea_popescu: in short we gotta restructure
this pancake castle less it falls over.
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:12:14; ben_vulpes: from experience i know
that
the more difficult it is
to
test
the software,
the less likely anyone is
to actually do so.
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 04:10:05; BingoBoingo: Most intimidating part of current realbitcoin is where
the fuck do I submit a diff from?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shouldn't, in browser
that respect "font size=small".
punkman: youtube apparently doesn't like songs
titled "Cunt Make It Up"
BingoBoingo: I jsut need
to find a way
to build it without Nvidia cg
toolkit.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: It was around
then
though
that I realized
that no amount of 1 on 1 coaching directed at unknowns could have
the same impact MP had when he declared Max Keiser was a doody head.
shinohai: I had such enthusiasm for Eulora, I may
take a fresh look at it when I have good drugs.
BingoBoingo: It was an inflection point. I mean back
then Eulora was jsut a jizzlet in MP's balls
shinohai: Things
that require little effort, not realizing your security comes at a price.
shinohai: n00bs generally go for
the shiny and loud
BingoBoingo: I was
trying
to save precious n00bs on his site, and he fuck it. So I hate.
shinohai: Same. I hold grudges for way
too long.
shinohai: He definitely had a way with people.
There are peeps
to
this day
that still defend him and inputs.
BingoBoingo: Between pirateat40 and
TradeFartress
the latter probably ran
the more dangerous long con, because people believed him. Not absolutely, but generally.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I spent
time on his coinshat
thing
tying
to
tell n00bs
to not be such n00bs. Fat lot of good it did.
shinohai: I never used inputs.io
though.
The whole
thing of not owning your keys seemed silly
to me.
BingoBoingo: But MPT made it way
to clear in his adverts
that he did "dark web stuff"
to address him as a person.
That would be like buying a gram of blow from
the white boy dressed as a pimp.
BingoBoingo: TradeFortress appears in retrospect
to have jsut been another parasitic chicom
shinohai: Yeah it appears he got sloppy or just didn't care. I bought btc from him several
times despite
the war between him and
TradeFortress.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> I guess you are fortunate no electronic items were seized, etc. << I'd already met alf here. For all
they know everything has
the
thermite.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> I used
to do
the same
thing with some guy from bitcointalk, moneypaktrader << iirc he made it rahter clear he was shady. BTcPak had a .com site and everything I needed
to believe in it at
the
time.
shinohai: You just get hit with "early
termination" fees. ;)
shinohai: Unfortunately, policing doesn't seem
to be a service you can unsubscribe from.
punkman: girl's sister was at her parent's house for a night. parents were on vacation, so neighbor hears noise and calls
the cops. cops show up banging on
the door at 3am, she opens door and
there were 3-4 submachineguns pointed at her.
shinohai: I used
to do
the same
thing with some guy from bitcointalk, moneypaktrader
BingoBoingo: The exact service
they asked me about was
the late BTCPak operated by DBordello. All I knew was I used it and it worked.
shinohai: Musta been a slow crime month,
they were looking
to invent something.
BingoBoingo: But
this is exactly how
to handle an encounter of
the Federal kind. You sweat
them away and you disclose it happened.
shinohai: > "the FBI agent name dropped Coindesk as a
thing he reads...."
BingoBoingo: It was hot, I didn't let
them in so we had a pow wow on
the front lawn until
they quit.

shinohai: When you are unemployed and bored, naturally you want a wifi antenna capable of covering
the whole neighborhood with internet.
shinohai: You had
the FBI? You got more rep
than me. I only had FCC come
to make me
take down my super yagi.
BingoBoingo: I've already had
the FBI at my front door. I'd just like
to become
the sort of #b-a dragon who can embrace axe
time
shinohai: I need a good virtual job,
that reddit shit
that pays $5 in btc is pointless.
BingoBoingo entered into deedbot
that condemnation for more
than just "there exists" a misdemeanor charge
shinohai: In
the real world I have
to use Windows
BingoBoingo would have
to relocate bu plans
to get
the beapest place
that only requires
two months rent on
top of deposit
shinohai: I'd like
to have easy
to buy coins
that don't require writing my autobiography
to obtain.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: I might have
the rare opportunity
to interview for a fiat job. If I get it I want a part of
this window
to get cheap coins.
BingoBoingo: What if
there really are a lot of #b-a people and
they really are strong with hate
shinohai: You got
to stop giving
the butters content
there BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo wonders if Byrne/Swanson et al ever wander here and see
the hate I spew for far smaller problems and wonder... What if Bingo isn't just an MP sock puppet
that emerges under
the influence of coke?
BingoBoingo: patents are probably all on
the binders, probably all borrowed from Eli Lily
BingoBoingo: For a 110 pound
teenager
to reach
the poisoning level and hit
the ER it would still
take hald a poing of
the stuff, plus binders.
punkman: of course it's
the first best palchohol
punkman: "Mark searched for powdered alcohol and it wasn't available. Over a few years, with
the help of scientists around
the world, Mark was able
to create powdered alcohol. So he began his quest
to create it. After years of research, experimentation and consultation with scientists around
the world, he finally came up with powdered alcohol and called it Palcohol."
BingoBoingo: Still
to get a slight buzz one is
talking at least an once or more of raw ETOH plus binders.
BingoBoingo: And now it gets
topped off with sugars
that will help it clear stage 2 metabolism faster
BingoBoingo: punkman: Well consider a pint bottle of cheap vodka is 40% alcohol by volume, roughly
the same by mass
punkman: I remember some discussion about how much
the
thing would weight
BingoBoingo: Also alcohol bound in carbohydrates? Prolly going
to be a fat sack
to
the shit jsut
to get buzzed.
BingoBoingo: punkman:
They
tabled
that motion so not banned.

BingoBoingo contemplates migrating
to a completely suckless/cat-v desktop. Pros? Any cons?
BingoBoingo: punkman: Well hopefully
they stop prescribing for
their old coots
threatening
their licenses first
punkman: BingoBoingo, seems like a good way
to stop docs prescribing
