mircea_popescu: at that time the first trap to ever spring sprung, and the second had not : a) were the other eleven effectual or ineffectual ? b) was the one that sprung effectual or ineffectual ? note that still badgers around, AND FROM THE POINT O VIEW OF THE BADGERS, every item is just
as much a trap
as the traps.
mircea_popescu: "I will say this though, I myself would have rather lived in 1940's American than Nazi Germany, and no this is not ignorance speaking, it is just my opinion." << holy shit, by the time a guy with serious respect for opinions
as a mental construct and a preference for historical us over nazi germany goes shooting up the police station you know the sops problem hath come full circle.
mircea_popescu: "A horse and a donkey can breed and make a mule, but they are still two completely different animals. Just because we can breed with the other races doesnt make us the same. " << this is actually a flawed argument on multiple levels. first off, the mule is sterile. second off, the ability to conceive is a very good measure of species proximity. thirdly, there's no proposition of "identity", there's no such thing
as bio
mircea_popescu: anyway,
as a present day slave owner that thing makes for a pretty amusing read.
decimation: asciilifeform: might
as well set program counter directly
decimation: usg sells shell
as surplus, can reload yourself
decimation: "What struck me
as most fascinating were the accounts from several sources of how the police dealt with the lack of covering fire that a SWAT team would provide today. They just went to citizens in the area and asked them to bring their rifles and shoot at the tower, and they all went to their pickups, got their deer rifles and did what they could to help."
trinque: I identify
as lobster; this is offensive.
mircea_popescu: this shit redditards pull where they go about blathering for three months and then pretend like nothing happened and questions can be asked
as if just discovered may work on reddit, but it'll give all of them a busted lip irl.
mircea_popescu: the only way for the hundred million idiots to not impose their britney spears over anything and everything else is for the hundred million to not have
as much
as a single cent disposable income.
ben_vulpes: i suppose you'd have us leave testnet in
as well
ascii_field: personally i see the random-change-addr thing to be
as screamingly retarded
as memory leak
ascii_field: 'A lot more men than women choose to do seemingly irrational things such
as become petty criminals, fly homebuilt helicopters, play video games, and keep tropical fish
as pets (98 percent of the attendees at the American Cichlid Association convention that I last attended were male). Should we be surprised that it is mostly men who spend 10 years banging their heads against an equation-filled blackboard in hopes of
mircea_popescu: trinque im still in shock someone proposed 7k a seat
as outrageous. i must be buying in all the wrong places.
ascii_field: i've been reading an autobiography of hans baur, best known
as hitler's pilot. he spoke of various folks he had flown, and described how king of bulgaria flew part of a trip with him, then caught an ordinary train
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this thing started life
as a winblows-ce (yes) graphical terminal
decimation: ascii_field: yes, radios that are designed to work
as radios rather than platonic ideals of radios do tend to work well
shinohai: There is no such thing
as an obsolete computer in my mind, unless it is hopelessly fragmented by usg
ascii_field: on account of amd's poor health, i see x86
as being very soon dead to me entirely
ascii_field: trinque: so long
as you're ok with operating over '80s-style terminal
ascii_field: it is good for approximately same kind of uses
as pogo
mircea_popescu: so, it may vary but it won't vary
as drastically
as you propose. prolly more in line with coffee/caffeine.
ascii_field:
as a boy, i saw a '80s sov. film where a couple split up their possessions with gigantic laser
ascii_field: if it could just
as easily contain 1g
as 1mg of nicotine, it would be a suicide device
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc the author of 'camels' did investigate what the 'shooters in dark' had in common - and in all cases, it was an inability to comprehend that the machine is entirely blind to human intent, and to build meaningful mental models of purely mechanistic systems
as a class
mircea_popescu: this is then mis-represented
as "there's something wrong wit hthe patrons"
ascii_field:
as if fpga has ~ever~ (at least since '92 or so) been 'exposed'
as anything but the blackest of black boxes
mircea_popescu: ascii_field to round up what i mean, class A are perhaps "the shooters in the dark". which means, they have an idea what they want, and programming [
as taught] fails to satisfy [which is the fault of the teachers].
ascii_field: 'When JTRS started, software-defined radio (SDR) was still in its infancy. The project's SCA architecture allowed software to manipulate field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the radio hardware to reconfigure how its electronics functioned, exposing those FPGAs
as CORBA objects. But when development began, hardware implementations of CORBA for FPGAs didn’t really exist in any standard form.' << giga-l0l!
hazirafel_: i did this course where i wrote in java for 30 hours a week, i have no problem doing it, no pain, didn't love it, it was mildley fun . my problem was organization, i expect it's much worse in C , but i could see it
as a motivation for thinking in a more organized way.
ascii_field: ^ many would-be 'doom' authors discover that they can't actually stomach the very notion of a machine which behaves precisely
as instructed and not '
as intentioned'
mircea_popescu: which, and i say from bitter experience, is just
as large a task
as making an os, and so... the largest class there is.
mircea_popescu: and, "sufficient proficiency in both c++ and bitcoin so
as to be able to follow all the discussion here, and only say something stupid 50% of the time and less, and understand why it's stupid once explained 90% of the time or more"
mircea_popescu: hazirafel_ listen, there is no practical way to understand anything relevant re bitcoin without actually reading the code. and the code is c++. you will have to do this
as a first step.
mircea_popescu: seriously, anyone gives a shit abvout what you release ?
as anything other than toilet reading material ? when did that happen ?
mircea_popescu: nobody serious to my knowledge has used this software
as-is.
mats: i would not be able to identify msg
as the culprit for the new flavor profile
mats: there's a much bigger emphasis on subtlety thats often misinterpreted
as blandness by foreigners whose palettes are accustomed to american chinese food
mats: soy and gluten are very good
as bases and soak up whatever you put on em
mats: my buddy describes it
as being savory and sweet
decimation: well,
as yarvin pointed out, brevik struck at the king and failed to kill him
Chicago: mats, The release was done and may be needed again in the future. I still have the numbness in 4th and 5th digits of the left hand once in a while (but not
as bad
as the constant it was prior). The meds though, I think are more for my comfort and not a real treatment. They're not solving anything.
BingoBoingo: "coins" have insufficient entropy to be useful
as a precision measure of time at all.
decimation:
as well
as how quickly you can acquire time
decimation:
as I recall this was needed in the pogo
trinque:
as opposed to their fiat holdings
funkenstein_: this kind of thing is the number one cause of death in babylon, referred to
as medical errors
Adlai: we apologize for shipping guns which fire backwards. we will arm your next army with twice
as many guns and we promise they'll shoot forwards this time!
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: that's because marking the key
as certainly your friend's key is something you do, and something you shouldn't do casually
nubbins`: 20ug vs 200? might
as well sell blank paper.
nubbins`: SWIM's source says they receive crystal and lay their own blotters, but
as you say -- who knows?
nubbins`: my understanding is that crystal is dissolved in solution by producer, then laid by distributors, but i'm sure there are
as many arrangements
as producers and distributors
nubbins`: "
As a salt, in water, cold, and free from air and light exposure, it is stable indefinitely."
ascii_field: nubbins`: unless vendor is also the producer (this is,
as i understand, uncommon for opsec reasons) you in fact ~are~ 'choosing random'
trinque: nubbins`: I tend to think of LSD
as abstract-reasoning overdrive serum
nubbins`: ascii_field "jimson weed" (datura) hallucinations are generally interpreted
as being genuine
nubbins` suspects mp was sold oregano
as a kid and smoked it
nubbins`: ascii_field nothing nearly
as organized
as that :D
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'colorsmell' <<
as in what lsd users get ?
trinque: store
as UTC with a separate tz field
jurov: the database can save them
as it wants
as long i can get same thing
as i put in
ascii_field: but my original point was, that if picking up the hammer of the gods, if/when the day comes, one may
as well smite ~all~ the known idiocies, vs. only a subset
mircea_popescu: the obvious "because our esteemed leader says so" (which already carried, exactly once, when the versions prior to 2 were forked off) doesn't carry,
as the closest to such a thing extant in bitcoin is against it.
mircea_popescu: irrespective of any flailings of random idiots (gavin & all), there can not be a hardfork until such a time
as we have an answer to that question.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> at what level of 'hardness' does it even make sense to retain the original blockchain,
as opposed to full-bore altcoin slugfest ? << the fact that this question has not a good answer
as of yet is perhaps the principal roadblock in the way of considering a hardfork at all.
BingoBoingo:
as the software is now it will likely complain, but this seems like something to be fixed in the software client rather than the block format
mircea_popescu: diametric apparently you're getting ~14gbps worth of random packets. it's going to come back up in the coming hours
as it's being mitigated.
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: im definitely going to run a few, just
as soon
as we're in a position to actually package one

☟︎ mircea_popescu: myeah. mod dropped teh ball, an'
as a result im out a coupla bitcoins now.
mircea_popescu: even leaving aside the "we've arbitrarily divided this virus up into 3 no wait 7 no wait 16 no wait nm groups", the notion that "i don't have herpes" is to be translated
as "i read very little and understand even less".
pete_dushenski: damn, adam_obrien just left... was going to ask what 'aua' is
as opposed to 'ama', and if it's 'us', who that includes. ah well.
pete_dushenski recalls bus ad for 'did you know that 1/5 people has genital herpes ?'
as a young man, teasing 5th kid in line that he was it. because math.
mod6: <+hanbot> mod6 wunderbar! will be sure to pester
as/if necessary. looks about a couple orders of magnitude slimmer than handbook at first glance, exciting << ah thx! yeah, just let me know if you run into any problems/questions.
pete_dushenski: "The end result was a powerhouse known
as the Energia LV – which used four strap-on boosters, each powered by a four-chamber RD-170 engine burning with kerosene/LOX, and a central core stage with four single-chamber RD-0120 (11D122) engines fueled with liquid hydrogen/LOX"
funkenstein_: it would be cool to reference genesis block
as t=0 at that point
danielpbarron: would 0.5.3.1 reject a block
as valid that spent the block zero coin base? would "XT" do the opposite?
hanbot: mod6 wunderbar! will be sure to pester
as/if necessary. looks about a couple orders of magnitude slimmer than handbook at first glance, exciting
mod6: (others are welcome to test these
as well, ofc)
