☟︎ adlai: miners rejecting softforks and encouraging hard is like... like... i can'
t even.
danielpbarron: >> Historically Bitcoin is far from "reliable" as we have all experienced. For instance, we had a ValueOverflow incident on 2010/08/15 in which billions of Bitcoin were generated in 1 single block. << bitcoin didn'
t even really exist in 2010
adlai didn'
t realize gas mask was required on this blog, too... should've been tipped off by the word 'miner'

t get equal output from all 9 but usually most of the input from just one
mircea_popescu: if only neurons were disctrete logic gates. a) i'd feel much better about nature being an idiot ; b) i wouldn'
t be around to figure that one out anyway.
adlai: it's worth noting that towards the end of NCO training we had a lecture (by a shrink/officer hybrid) about the most effective way to prevent PTSD before the
T is even Ped, which is, unintuitively, immediate debriefing.
adlai: mircea_popescu: honestly, i don'
t think further details beyond what i just deeded is relevant for this forum, or any other, except perhaps a court convened in my honor by the relevant mob.
mircea_popescu: +#define T_ATOM 16384 /* 0100000000000000 */ /* only for gc */
felipelalli: asciilifeform, I didn'
t have too much time yet to explore this project and your work but I follow far with twinkle in my eyes. Congrats!
mircea_popescu: there are specific choices in how gribble handles security that were expedient for a long time, but no longer acceptable, so it'd have to be rewritten. until it isn'
t, i would think it more like a play sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: there was some talk about harmonizing the two, but i don'
t think the guy has any time to be doing maintenance, or any interest for that matter, so...
mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn'
t talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made a replacement.

t seem to be helping anybody anymore
adlai: lol i don'
t think kako invited me here until months later
adlai: early january 2014. i don'
t remember the exact date and frankly don'
t feel like trying to recall it.
adlai is "in the logs" describing the full episode, it's too long to fit in the margins of these. tl;dr: police visited, invited me along so nicely i couldn'
t refuse, but went home the next day. as danielpbarron pointed out, jail /= prison
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 23:24:47; adlai: although "in" is a suggestive word, here. I wasn'
t "in" anything, my acquaintance with the jail/prison/dungeon/etc system is tangential, academic, etc
adlai: danielpbarron: iiuc you don'
t befriend them out of pity, you cough up coin to get your friend back outside of the matchbox
adlai: hmm,i'm not sure i like that connotation. can'
t lotteries be 0EV, zero-sum games?

assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 15:26:56; mircea_popescu: ~you~ "gotta" pay an accountant to keep IRS' files in order. wouldn'
t it be logical if THEY had to come to you with a "here's how much we think you owe and if we're wriong we'll goi do the math again" ? who's the sovereign here ?
mircea_popescu: a reflection of my i don'
t like or trust raid controllers earlier stance
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think i've ever used anything other than 1+0 combos.
mircea_popescu: oh, it was empirically obtained, i didn'
t theoretically determine it.
mircea_popescu: more like "if you want a billet to help - the application desk is over there ; if not, isn'
t there some welfare line you sohuld be in ?"
mircea_popescu: hm, i can'
t find the one where i said that the only way to have "justice" is to oppress some derps, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: it's not a la mode because i didn'
t want to trigger you.
ascii_butugychag: (somehow the conclusion that 'computers you can'
t program' don'
t belong in a security application, is lost on folks)
mircea_popescu: get a fucking human name why don'
t you. what is this mug costanza and rifling jones bs.
mircea_popescu: we don'
t even have a single harmonica per capita over here yo!

t see a future for whatever wot she's in.
mod6: don'
t they let you work from home when there is a blizzard?
pete_dushenski: quite so, but don'
t let that get in the way of "the economist"'s story !
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: LOL Trace Mayer is critiquing your accounting. "MPEx needs a balance sheet cause I don'
t understand zero-asset corporations"
mircea_popescu: see, their driver is, "i don'
t have time to watch this dumb indian's videos". which is legit, they don'
t have time.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Could publish peer reviewed tapes << except peers won'
t review tapes. because it's inept. oral tradition is unlike the written tradition in a fundamental way : it rejects the ~separation~ of knowledge and power. that sound familiar ?
mircea_popescu: no idea how they figure that one, you can'
t get a fb account to show up to your office irl./
punkman: wasn'
t EMC looking to sell itself?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller myeah. they don'
t think properly, ie "hey, mp isn'
t paying for nascar car, clearly stupid idea" but instead "oh, let's do random $idiocy, we'll be so much better than mp". makes sense, if you're retarded.
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 07:07:34; BingoBoingo: From the mines: "There are some issues being filed concerning database corruptions in bitcoin core. Although the problem hasn'
t been pinpointed to LevelDB, the long-term plan is still to switch to a new, well maintained database." << A Hearnia continues
mircea_popescu: o wait... usg's own ws didn'
t exist then yet either huh. a well.
mircea_popescu: if only they were doing this back in the day when usg's own corp didn'
t exist, america'd have looked a lot different.
mircea_popescu: ~you~ "gotta" pay an accountant to keep IRS' files in order. wouldn'
t it be logical if THEY had to come to you with a "here's how much we think you owe and if we're wriong we'll goi do the math again" ? who's the sovereign here ?
☟︎ punkman: why do all professors need to publish anyway, can'
t one just teach?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: don'
t flatter yourself, nobody gives a flying fuck what fb feels like to the cows.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at least hearst wasn'
t annoying AND poor.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> any accumulator that doesn'
t principally occupy itself with ~forgetting~ rapidly collapses into a singularity of shitmass. << This has been the greatest challenge of sober living so far.
mircea_popescu: " My intuition is that this might even require fewer attempts than the original comparison assuming a reasonable password length, but I haven'
t done the math." << he's right actually.
mod6: I don'
t suppose you logged your build process?
mod6: not sure. we haven'
t seen this problem yet.
BingoBoingo: Fuck, they really don'
t/can'
t make those anymore
mircea_popescu: apparently every american is equally and insescapably stupid. their education, and their intelligence, may color the way they express their stupidity. but you can'
t take the village out of the girl even if you take the girl out of the village, and you can'
t take stupid out of americans.
mircea_popescu: "we" don'
t have to do any such thing. that's why the fucking cpu is there.
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> Rand wouldn'
t be a bad president, but Trump has more of the showmanship << maybe they name the USS Flagship "Hairpiece" after him.
copypaste: Rand wouldn'
t be a bad president, but Trump has more of the showmanship
danielpbarron: i don'
t actually care if he wins beyond me wanting to win the bet; i personally wouldn'
t vote for him
PeterL: he is still the most reasonable of the candidates, unfortunately American's don'
t care about that
PeterL: from BingoBoingo link to fat rant: "the look of horror that a thin, cis woman flashed me when she realized that she'd be sitting next to me" << What, a gay chick is going to be excited to cuddle up with fatty chunks for a couple hours? (and wtf is this text in image crap, can'
t even copy/paste!)
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 21:29:48; mircea_popescu: they're shit by now anyway, least they could do is "sorry hon, you're 20 lbs over maximum, can'
