mircea_popescu: hole fucking thing EXISTS, in the first place, AS A HUMONGOUS AND HUMONGOUSLY EXPENSIVE CLOCK! but why bother.
mircea_popescu: and it's entirely symptomatic and representative. whole fucking steaming pile of shit was designed, or rather, "designed" by a bright idiot who was capable to compose an info screen without a timestamp on it.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 17:38 mircea_popescu: anyway, continuing the trinque discussion, it seems entirely unavoidable that trb will become 3 things : a wallet node, optimized for pumping out local signed tx ; a block node, optimized for keeping the blockchain, getting blocks, no mempool nonsense ; and a spy node, optimized to keeping track of the lies and nonsense flowing through the relay network (mempool, timing nodes, what have you).
mircea_popescu: very vaguely in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1756072 : holy shit nobody thought that getinfo should include A TIMESTAMP ? whatr sort of broken minds come up with this crap! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo o hey, so you got a local gf basically ?
mircea_popescu: or you know, a town, a country.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi why ANYTHING ELSE is deemed virginity in males. this. this right here. bitch, take a punch now and again, it's good for you.
mircea_popescu: which is a damned shame.
mircea_popescu: but in the usg sadlands... well... http://trilema.com/2011/are-you-a-muslim/#selection-115.0-115.526
mircea_popescu personally spent half hour at age 15 trying to find the most effectual insults for this dude a mutual friend had just introduced ; we were best friends after that!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, sure. But I've met quite a few young abogados estadounidense who went drinking in St Louis and got quite the beating after responding to racial slurs in kind
mircea_popescu: there's this formative moment in every pornographer's life (or at least, every pornographer worth his salt's life) where he's driving around a partybus fulla naked sluts and tries to pick up jocks from the street to fuck 'em. except... can't. even if they get in, which is a 1:10 shot at best, they can't really get it up ; and if they do it lasts half a minute and happens in the camera-unfriendliest manner possible.
mircea_popescu: and the observation is indeed fine. VERY bus-bound culture in south and central america. between the strange "strong families" where you'll see batshit insanity like 20yo woiman OUT WITH HER MOTHER and, importantly, HIDING IN MOM SKIRTS, and the terrible eg signalling for cars everywhere etc, AND a very land-possessive mentality, most people will simply not go to any new place.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "A bit of walking suggests this is because the locals tend to know very well where they get on and off the bus very well, but"
shinohai: But chinches LOVE electronics BingoBoingo .... would have been a pita to get them out.
BingoBoingo probably ought to bake a blog post on the past week's learnings por otro gingos de la republica
mircea_popescu: it got windy here a week or two ago. maaaybe dropped as low as 15C briefly. o my teh shivers, teh sads.
shinohai: I loved watching teh latino immigrants here a few weekends ago when it snowed. Most have never seen it, so they were all dressed up in layers of NorthFace coats and gloves.
BingoBoingo: The locals insist it happens at least 4 or 5 days a year in the mornings
BingoBoingo: In other unconscious association... Montevideo department (department being akin to a province) is abreviated MO, which is Missouri's postal code. At least once a day mi cerebro thinks Uruguay is in Missouri.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at that level... if not beaten senior mgmt head against wall for a year straight, i expect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it'll take you A YEAR to make gs2, you know this ?
mircea_popescu: according to cornmarketcap, bitcoin crash still work like more than a public servant monthly salary.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 05:49 mircea_popescu: oh, 2 bitcent dick pix ? shall we do a today-only special ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other thank you obamas, i can now buy 1kAmpere (crank) batteries for muh car. this means the damned thing can push out at the very least 14.5 * 1000 * 30 = 435kJoules over half a minute! << AHA, y las baterias por las motocicletas ahora muy pequena
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gimme the ru notation if oyu have a kbd ready ?
asciilifeform: ( usn lost a bunch to h2 pops, in ww2 )
mircea_popescu: shares parking with a fucking office depot of all things.
mircea_popescu: nah, what, 5kgs each ? ~same as hosting a card trading party.
mircea_popescu: A SHIFT!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the application here was, "gee, how cheap is mobility!" ; but again : for a zek coin (as per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-16#1752109 ) you can have 100 of these. serialize them, the half minute becomes eight hours. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/entomologykos-4.jpg << here we go. bug buys you a battery!
asciilifeform: cranking is a few seconds, a few % discharge
asciilifeform: that's a hint
mircea_popescu: AND it cost like a hundy, which means... where's that trilema with the bug ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform coupla of the people might well have a clue.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it's a lipo tho, it's good for mebbe hundred cycles
mircea_popescu: AAAAND with a 4.4 kW powerplant... you really can run all the electronics you possibly could conceivably wish to have.
mircea_popescu: in other thank you obamas, i can now buy 1kAmpere (crank) batteries for muh car. this means the damned thing can push out at the very least 14.5 * 1000 * 30 = 435kJoules over half a minute!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman hey, one step at a time! http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1753228 etc ☝︎
cazalla: seems like a bunch of rugrats abound
toohigh: President Dr. Donald J Trump is ushering in a new era of economic prosperity for the American Tax Paying Citizens.
pete_dushenski: a (giant) little chatterbox. he's doing well.
r41n: mircea_popescu: i had to make a different nick but i got it!
mircea_popescu: Techman there's a lot of interest in shortwave here, as per say http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22shortwave%22 ; i suspect we have a lot to talk about. but can be tomorrow or whatever, there's no rush.
Techman: mircea_popescu: l0de is more than likely asleep right now; his show ended a while ago
trinque: iirc eurosomewhere dude that codes, ended up among a bunch of militantly meaningless portland dudes on irc.
mircea_popescu: Techman say /query deedbot to open a pm session ; say !!up in there to it ; then return !!v the string. ☟︎☟︎
trinque: really is insanity requiring a hard reset.
mircea_popescu: we need a socialists anonymous thing.
mircea_popescu: the function of "it's a brand" here is to expand notional valuations into imaginary nonsense. "i am wasting time/resources and i'm not getting anything in return BUT THAT IS OK, because the imagined-castle-in-the-sky is growing!"
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, went with (same girl that ended up on the hook) to a coupla strip clubs here. holy shit you can't imafgine the horror. half dozen fat ugly mommy bloggers ; the poles were there, the stripper heels were on their feet, everyone SITTING. nobody dancing. no problem!
toohigh: It can be run as a Gentleman's Club with 100's of beautiful girls and 3 ugly ones. (tm)
mircea_popescu: toohigh strip clubs are a fucking terrible business. it's ~office management for people who get a lot of dermatitis.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1756414 << the original slashdot.com was composed deliberately so that people COULD NOT read it to a dork. "oh man it's aiche te te pe colon slash slash slash dot dot com" "it doesn't work". ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 05:25 weevlos: with a persistent brand
mircea_popescu: in other news nobody cares about (ha-ha), i put a girl on an anal hook for the first time in HER LIFE!!! which made her way too fucking tight ; we were going to hang out and watch a movie, but then i was like, "take half hour, lemme see what's going on in chan". and now... here we are, she's reading the log in the livingroom.
toohigh: A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR ALL THOSE LOST IN THE GREAT MEME WAR 2015-2016.

mircea_popescu: a. well that's good then.
mircea_popescu: !!v is a general "verify my pending command"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 02:03 asciilifeform: ( the linear flow display was also a mistake, it misleads people, does not actually help anybody. really ought to have exclusively tree-flow display, as mod6 had )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-22 01:59 esthlos: by selecting which keys are acceptable, we get a subsequence of acceptable diffs, which are then used to patch the source
pete_dushenski: Techman: is your name a reference to the techmen from asimov's foundation series, the ones who maintained old empire tech on a hereditary basis and had nfi how the "nucleics" shit actually worked ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 19:38 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-20#1755450 << i've picked up a book in new orleans, “Symbolic computation : applications to scientific computing”, it's all macsyma and various sussman style scheme hacks for exploring dynamic systems, but an interesting trick that almost all the code uses, which i guess was sop in lisp world at some point, is to do visualization and control on a lisp machine, but do the heavy numeric simulations in fortran 77. the in
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1756189 << this is in my mind cca 1990s what lisp was FOR. a sort of php for fotran. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1756167 << interestingly enough extant V can handle this diversion -- make each cut carry a single sig of the common trunk. then it'll split that way. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: toohigh turned a decent proffit on the deal then ?
toohigh: It was Custom Pontoon Boat with a system and stripper pole that was sold the second time it was ever taken out, dude was running down the dock and flagged it down and bought it on the spot
a111: Logged on 2017-12-17 09:22 mircea_popescu: at the dumb end of the spectrum, however.. o ya. iq 88 is very much ahead of iq 83, and painfully evidently so. under 100, maybe even 120 or so, it DOES put a very strict upper limit on what people can do.
mircea_popescu: aite, so write 4b1e6528 on your dick, take a pic, make 2 bitcents.
mircea_popescu: oh, 2 bitcent dick pix ? shall we do a today-only special ? ☟︎
trinque: and doubly "I can't be bothered to know a few integers"
weevlos: "daily stormer" is a very successful brand
trinque: it's a problem, because on the other side, this "branding" shit is going in the gas chambers.
weevlos: that's what a domain name is for
weevlos: to a stranger at a bar
weevlos: with a persistent brand ☟︎
weevlos: but we want to be a normal website
trinque: or hell, designate a bitcoin address, and issue transactions with four outputs, one per octet
a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 06:14 mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer the correct solution here is to pay 1-200 per month for a dedicated server in a sane jurisdiction (ie, outside of nato). make sure you get a chunk of ips with it, then host all your shit.
trinque: weevlos: anyhow you're the stormer guy eh? there was a thread http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1708657 ☝︎
trinque: danielpbarron: you didn't put a number in your command...
danielpbarron: give it a sec
phf: if only there was some way to capture a conversation so that it gets preserved for future readers ☟︎
phf: i thought the spam was funny, because i want to his youtube channel and there was a bunch of very upset and confused people there. i thought it was an intentional, as they say, good show
danielpbarron: guy's apparently been doing a show for the last 20 years, and in the beginning did it from a pirate radio station
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:18 phf: "The l0de radio hour is a long-running live call-in show that irregularly broadcasts over the internet, and to pirate shortwave and FM stations. It is hosted by Lode Ray Dio, a gypsy hustler with a long history of fraud, grifting, and treason. The show is notable for its frequent cancellations, obscene and bizarre content, and a high rate of listener suicide."
mod6: Will be looking at this closely/testing, etc. If that indeed becomes the fix, doesn't negate some of the refactors Stan is discussing. And those may be warranted in a later release.
mod6: Hmm. Ok, well, there *might be* a quick fix to this on my end -- not withstanding important original design flaws pointed out by asciilifeform above ^, seems that I have a possible idiotic thing in my toposort. Once removed, *appears* to do The Right Thing.
phf: he get a lot of mileage out of a simple graph walk algorithm
asciilifeform: so to expand : we take each 'out' , and follow it back as far as we can. ( when we meet a nil, we stop recursing, in that branch. ) when we meet a non-nil, recurse. when the recursion unwinds, the actual unixpatch (or phfian patch, for that matter) util invocations, happen.
asciilifeform: ( the linear flow display was also a mistake, it misleads people, does not actually help anybody. really ought to have exclusively tree-flow display, as mod6 had ) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <esthlos> i'm trying to implement V, without reading too much source (as asciilifeform suggested), so how is this so far: << Well, stop reading code and take V on a walk down the Rambla.
esthlos: by selecting which keys are acceptable, we get a subsequence of acceptable diffs, which are then used to patch the source ☟︎
mod6: I don't have a fix ready or anything of the kind, in fact, this could be the nail in the coffin for my v.
esthlos: there is a collection X of diffs, a collection Y of detatched signatures of those diffs, and a collection Z of pubkeys corresponding to those patches
mod6: So in this case, it is a problem, because you may not want to press 'eucrypt_mpi_fix_copy_incr.vpatch' leaf when pressing to only ch2.
mod6: Initial findings after digging into it here quickly, my V seems to have the leaves in a separate flow order than from Stan's (v99). Which, by itself, (as we've discussed before) isn't a problem per-se. It seems though that in the case here where the leaves are ordered differently, and you press (with my v (99994)) up through 'ch2_truerandom.vpatch', it also includes the 'eucrypt_mpi_fix_copy_incr.vpatch' a
