mircea_popescu: just biding their time, waiting for a good opportunity, honest! wanted to do maximum damage, and as we all know, ~MAXIMUM~ damage is always in the future.
decimation: asciilifeform: what about connecting something to a running bitcoind, siphoning off blocks as they are 'validated'?
asciilifeform: where 1) can -connect to *multiple* boxes 2) does not as result wall off from inbound connections
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180433 << as you clearly notice, the pipe is authenticable does not equal gosspid : we can have out of band authenticifaction as per the above mechanism. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: thing is still running in (short) bursts, as before.
mircea_popescu: roduced for "reasons". and so he is in the unenviable position of one whom we do not doubt that behaves as one that is guilty - ie, must have known, said nothing ever.
mircea_popescu: and as decimation points out, yes we've agreed an ant's insane.
mircea_popescu: it all makes perfect sense, looking at it now. they look like patently insane if considered on the merits, but if considered culturally they are simply "i just work here" and "this is how the world works". about as insane as an ant.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> linux ecosystem was drepperized so long ago that scarcely anyone remembers. << kinda why everyone is reacting with so much disbelief at the sudden "this is not acceptable". they had been doing it forever, gavin as a marginally retarded peripheral agent of the idiocy got totally blindsided by an armed insurection. that we'd pursue it is i suppose plainly unthinkable, the sort of thing the rmcgraths of th
mircea_popescu: and i base myself on the fact that they worked pretty well in practice until the new generation of "reformist" idiots got involved, and put 'locale' as a concept in c.
decimation: well, as we have discussed here before, the whole idea of shared libraries is kind of a fucktarded version of 'global namespaces'
asciilifeform: e.g., mircea_popescu's box craps out as many bastards as anyone's
asciilifeform: right now, as i said, no one has any idea who he is talking to
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, there is no intelligence in it beyond the misbehave... crap
asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/serialize.h#0074 << cpp programmers in particular have no notion of hygiene. and the more experienced, the less of a notion they have, as a rule
asciilifeform: 'BLM Special Agent Dan Love of Salt Lake City was cited multiple times as the person behind many of the BLM requests, according to the emails. Love will have a personal bathroom trailer to be shared with only one other official, according to documents. Love also led the BLM operation against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy that ended in a standoff with Bundy's armed supporters. He did not return requests for comment this week.'
asciilifeform: traceroute looks same today as last night.
mats: that occurred to me as well
decimation: as in, what type?
ben_vulpes: just strikes me as a bit of black magic that a CDataStream can deserialize itself into a CBlock with just an overloaded right shift operator
assbot: World Naked Bike Ride | As Bare As You Dare ... ( http://bit.ly/1GEDYEW )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes, was gonna do this after certain tests. such as the one that is presently failing
asciilifeform: but if you ask me, this falls squarely under 'do this after it fucking ~works~' as described by mircea_popescu earlier.
decimation: yeah, as far as I can tell gpl only really 'sticks' to fsf software directly
asciilifeform: that will come flooding in as soon as he's out of action
asciilifeform: as soon as he's out, 'reasonable' people will crawl in and 'make compromises'
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 03:37:06; decimation: "The existence of LLVM is a terrible setback for our community precisely because it is not copylefted and can be used as the basis for nonfree compilers — so that all contribution to LLVM directly helps proprietary software as much as it helps us.'"
decimation: no and as I recall there's hand-written asm in openssl
asciilifeform: rms ~deliberately~ nudges it, whenever he can, in the direction of being as opaque as possible
asciilifeform: gcc, as one might imagine, does not go out of its way to help this be a readily practical thing
asciilifeform: as if this thing didn't suck enough balls
asciilifeform: as in, nothing moving over the pipe
trinque: same mistake as SQL
decimation: iptables, like most of the kernel, is undocumented as fuck
trinque: strikes me as "promises" to indicate the braindamaged programming environments I've sued
asciilifeform: as well as the ability to kick 'for misbehaviour' the ONLY PERMITTED CONNECT node
asciilifeform: working as written.
asciilifeform: decimation: not yet. but i expect to hit the same wall as mod6
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: maxima, conkeror, CLIM as defaults
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: I was referring to #b-a members actually. I don't have any customers yet, as Masamune is horribly incomplete.
asciilifeform: trinque: i'd even argue that fpga is a mis-step historically, and you'd want to start with traditional 'gal' (as pictured here, http://design.iconnect007.media/index.php/article/31256/maxed-out-programmable-logic-part-deux/31259/?skin=design )
gabriel_laddel: stas: dataflow never caught on because you absolutely need dedicated hardware. if you want real efficiency, you can’t even use standard RAM. so it gets dismissed as nuttery, on the rare occasions it comes up.
asciilifeform: for so long as you have caches, you have locality
trinque: can't build a VM for some syslisp which is then implemented later as hardware?
trinque chants "do not give in to astonishment" as he fires up the clim listener
trinque: I've heard it said that were the US to want to repeat Apollo, they'd have to practically start from scratch, as nearly everyone who had mastery over the processes used before are now dead
asciilifeform: just as the slipless ratchet does not exist (and physically cannot. see feynman's perpetuum mobile)
mircea_popescu: trinque just as a mental exercise.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski as an exercise for you : what is the difference between the disruption caused by the absence of the comrade joke webcomic, which nobody has started yet, and the disruption caused by the absence of x service, which equally doesn't exist but at some point did ?
cazalla: pete_dushenski, be specific because i go so far as to exclude the monthly reports from the word counts
pete_dushenski: also, google finance is as bad as gbtc on otcmarkets : "52 week 1,844.09 - 4,526.92" when peak is clearly 5166 on june 12
mircea_popescu: ftr, there is no serious evidence as to the exact fisiology of vaginismus either.
mircea_popescu: think of pc as "vaginismus that declared while guy was inside"
asciilifeform: ^ not same as captivus
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: here's an unassigned gun for some eager fella: crap out an ibmpc buildroot for therealbitcoin. as in, something one could throw in the iso slot at a datacentre
mircea_popescu: this of course is painful for every good white boy to hear, as it's strictly antipattern and countercultural,
asciilifeform: wallet has to be sawn off as discussed in the past
mircea_popescu: as an absolute prerequisite to any sort of block increase we ABSOLUTELY MUST clean up these shit-stables
asciilifeform: jurov: the bleeding edge of this, as i understand, is jp, where you can live in a kind of 'coffin'
jurov: as it happens... i have no dishwasher, too
assbot: Logged on 06-04-2014 14:59:26; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any time there's a number of turkeys and a number of engineers.
asciilifeform: mats: many of the arguments against 'google dorm' don't hold water. e.g., the current 'collect 200k/y salary, give 180k/y to housing racket' system is just as impoverishing; 'lose your job, lose your housing' is just as true now for the fools paying those 180k to live in auto range of palo alto etc.; the squalor is just the same in the palo alto 'efficiency' flat as in any dorm; and so forth
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2014 00:04:59; asciilifeform: pierce << ideal example of the animal described on one of mircea_popescu's essays - he could be packed into prison for life, any time, based on what's in his file. so he does as instructed.
cazalla: shame that nearly all of 'em don't give as much as a smile
awokestillY2K: man i love rainbows as much as the next guy, but i like pussy
cazalla: i'll take that as a yes (still sober this month)
cazalla: can't see 3d.. took me something like 20 years to understand why i couldn't see those stereoscopic books as a kid too
cazalla: i'm hoping it will act as kindling
mircea_popescu: such as http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm0mvqsaLC1qd25mzo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: when i heard of it, i couldn't help but parse it as 'famine' rather than the intended 'family' - console
decimation: yeah as i recall he took mercury pills
asciilifeform: decimation: mega-emperor. to me he is ~the~ emperor of cn, very overworked subject in books on the place i had as a kid
mircea_popescu: not a point sam altman may ever have. his points, such as they are, must be of an entirely different nature.
mircea_popescu: he is part of the entire shebang pushing "twitter as a business - business as a twitter"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as there's two. "version" : 60200, "protocolversion" : 60001, for instance
asciilifeform: under 'Closing, as it "works as intended". Pull requests to speed up block downloading are on the way and could use testing, see #2964.'
asciilifeform: aaaand notice what the bugger proposes as 'solution on the way'
mircea_popescu: "works as intended"
trinque: I "fixed" that by telling python-gnupg to use utf-8 internally as per their docs
mod6: ah, well, if you hvae a solid inet connection you can always try scp as a last resort if you have a shell on the target environment too.
mats: port as to be found on 'pypi'
mircea_popescu: atm i suspect it's doing something windows-retarded like "load whole file in memory, split it as a php array, write the result through type conversion"
trinque: gpg likes your doc just fine, and python has your doc as a string identical to what was provided
trinque: felipelalli: as always
jurov: mats as the .sig file verifies, the hash must be therein
ascii_field: ^ as used in 'phuctor'
ascii_field: jurov: also ought to remember, not all patches are meant as 'canonical' (that is, for eventual inclusion in the tree)
trinque: it all sees the user as a derp that would never do such a thing
ascii_field: and at any rate, i barfed as soon as i discovered that you can't meaningfully compose qt widgets without diving back into the cpp shit pit
trinque: commonqt ran fine; just that as I perceive it, utterly non-lispy
ascii_field: ^ i slaved to try and get that thing to run as a student
trinque: everything expressed as the same kind of data structures
ascii_field: as in, want to put disk controller registers on the screen? go, do
trinque: ascii_field: I can as a novice see the foothills at least
ascii_field: at 'respectable' uni they make a show of not teaching as much of ^this as they could 'because this isn't trade school after all'
ascii_field: trinque: lisp (and i specifically refer to the accumulated advancements which add up to commonlisp world, rather than the barf of that field's equivalent of 'glbse' - e.g., 'clojure', 'newlisp', other halfwit retardations) handily obsoletes most of what passes for 'problems in computer science' as taught
mircea_popescu: anyway this looks like it's going to be an epic b-a summer. phuctor delivered, eulora came, nodes are moving, apparently cardano as well, ☟︎
trinque: ascii_field: read that as firefox at first, thought it was a hell of a pivot for mozilla, lol
mircea_popescu: "As is typical of a C++ program, a lot of code tends to end up in the header files
assbot: 29 December 1944 - As I Please - George Orwell, Book, etext ... ( http://bit.ly/1Hlcbho )
