mircea_popescu: it's this huge, taller-than-person, double-door purely usian abomination unknown in these lands. i just opened it and the act apparently upsed the clever packing scheme used because i ended up covered in items.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know what they say, a tendency to bury the lede in journalism is not unlike a tendency to spread legs in a convent : sure signs one does not actually belong there.
mircea_popescu: ima waste all the dozens of bytes at a time i feel like, holy hell "install disc". TO INSTALL AN X THAT CRASHES ALL CLIENTS.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with two separate utilities built on the same lib exposing different edges. "wasteful" but in a veheheheeeery theoretical sense, when compared to 10mb webpages.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, if unix philosophy were anymore than 15yos notions that "that's it, now i understand women!" they very much would be.
mircea_popescu: the reason they're lib'd together (in say eucrypt) is rather the fact that they require similar standards of care.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, i don't think shellouts PER SE are a bad idea, or the wrong thing, or untenable. much like the notion of building houses WITH DOORS isn't in itself problematic. now, what gets in through those holes, well...
mircea_popescu: of course, the converse view (that complexity is alreadyu added the moment you shellout to them) also holds some water.
mircea_popescu: something like "shellouts marked for extinction anyway, no point building on them" ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the idea is to gut the anthill from inside the ants.
mircea_popescu: and obviously calling it "a list" of hashes is just another playful reference to teh prior discussion. lel.
mircea_popescu: then you could just keep a list of these and people ~would know~ when it is useful to report their runs.
mircea_popescu: print a warning, "your X util exists, but its hash differs from what i ran this on, so please test and report" ?
mircea_popescu: i'd take it one step further and : mod6 do you think it might be a good idea to actually include hashes ?
mircea_popescu: also ben_vulpes : the thinking over at s.mg is that we want a dedicated box for teh server plus a vps for holding the website and such things, so we don't have to eat the whole apache overload on the game server.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally mod6 : given teh centrality of teh work he's doing, do you suppose teh foundation could be prevailed upon to give lobbes a grant so he can get himself a shiny dedicated box with pizarro ? could for instance
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-21#1785458 work as teh application ?
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: speaking of which, what do you think diana_coman should eucrypt also include an elastic hashing algo on top of keccak and serpent ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and as to the final thing : the whole idea of the archive item (which lobbes asked for and i very much doubt he realised at the time what an immense item it is) is to RECONSTRUCT the poorly designed "web" into proper structure. hence the merkle tree discussions and so on. so very much yes, eventually we'll be using a proper republican accessing scheme.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and as to the selection : i just tried ctrl^ and it worked fine. IN NANO.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem, x is "mature" rather than the abstract joke it was in the 90s, yet it STILL doesn't handle the most basic of things. which is -- just fucking rebind the pipes holy hell wtf, sigpipe is an acceptable behaviour now ?!
mircea_popescu: phf so what is the call on republican alphabetic order ? "all strings are made of bytes and the byte order is the alphabetic order" ?
mircea_popescu: hanbot im willing to bet shitty gcc. what version is it ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile being able to authoritatively answer "buy X, not Y" is very valuable, because unlike the above scenario, where time you expend actually dampens republican affairs (as for every dT you put in, everyone has to put in some d'T as well), this on the contrary leverages : for every dT you put in, everyone DOESN'T have to put in some d''T.
mircea_popescu: as in any case the E' will have to be resolved by recourse to the forum, and as b) is not all that insignificant, the dT investment is a poor usage of your limited T resource.
mircea_popescu: then later, events E that fall within W will take (putatively) less time to resolve than events E' that fall within the epsilon ; however a) the probability of E'/E is not equal to the factor R/epsilon (but worse) and b) all this requires people actually read W, which is a cost (leaving aside how it's also something some won't pay).
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes to explain what i mean : there's some reality the contract handles (R) and some actual wording of the contract W. the delta R-W can be brought under an arbitrary value epsilon, but not to zero. the delta epsilon translates in a delta time dT you have to pour into the wringing of this allignment.
mircea_popescu: !~later tell loren good idea to get your key in wot anyway ; otherwise the eventual "loren" will still be a day old item
mircea_popescu: mod6 it is incorrect to start with the pie-in-sky "own os" though. it is instead correct to start with a catalogue of usable if unideal extants.
mircea_popescu: and also, why the fuck would text browser lack highlighting. how's it supposed to even work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked speaking of broken : "modern system" means that if you restart x, all gui apps die.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes for instance ; or machines pizarro thinks are worth racking, with pros and cons. or anything really.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno that i could be arsed to read/whatever a contract tbh ; but do you have a gearlist or anything yet ?
mircea_popescu: mostly amusing for the "someone somewhere is actually still trying to push this "latest version" wank".
mircea_popescu: oh, and also, the police here utterly don't gaf. car doing 150 in an 80 zone, highway patrol right there, couldn't be arsed.
mircea_popescu: pretty great. on the tail end of a "hey, wanna go to the beach ?" "sure!"
mircea_popescu: normally i'd have alf explain it to you ; but he's busy. so what i want you to do is write a blog article about "how to use merkle trees to avoid duplicate problem in web page archiving", and then i'll comment on it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only sane way to go about his is to do poor man's (rather, "artificially intelligent") document ASTs in the shape of merkle trees of all their contents.
mircea_popescu: asshats failed to admit they failed, declared "you" winner.
mircea_popescu: you recall, they tried to do online poll, 4chan owned it, made m00t person of the year
mircea_popescu: the chess clock & corkboard you're using to schedule&timekeep
mircea_popescu: but yes, things went downhill from the 80s when chet diagnosed her rare eye condition / located specialist via gopher to today.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, does fetlife want to hire you too, or did they taylor the pop-up ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai i got a hp laptop recently too, say, but desktops really should be assembled from parts.
