BingoBoingo: When we got our snow earier this week I was the only person the on our street civilized enough to shovel his drive way. Now that there's been a few days for it to melt and refreeze neighbors are complaining they can'
t get into or out of theirs because they've become too slick. Also precious few sidewalks have been shoveled in town.
ascii_butugychag: wasn'
t it in mircea_popescu's recent article where 'common man must be pumped through a sewer tunnel but oughta have a small escape hatch' ?
mircea_popescu: why does it happen to them that they died ? no one knows, for drudgery can'
t be thought.
mircea_popescu: then finally the "literate" or "white collar" or however you call the despicable postmodern otaku, intellectuals I suppose ? can'
t even comprehend drudgery, fears anonimity, i can scarcely look down to see what's next.
mircea_popescu: the hunter didn'
t fear death ; the farmer feared death only, not drudgery ; the factory worker can'
t even think death, fears drudgery, not anonymity.
ascii_butugychag: (it isn'
t about whether the pellets are small, as in a zoo, or large, as in a harvest season - but that zoo ~answeres prayers~ and rewards wheedling)
ascii_butugychag: because land doesn'
t actually behave so differently from a food dispenser
mircea_popescu: we know this promotes all the africas - people will sit around and invent ways to insure they don'
t upset the gods.
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t a castigation of them. but the system is a chute down not a chute up.
ascii_butugychag: ... isn'
t that sorta like 'toilet is a magnet for shit' ? yes, sometimes people plant flowers in one. but speaking as to its purpose.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think anyone sane was seriously thinking the situation may survive. it was painfully obvious we're riding a self-limiting wave.
trinque: well. I certainly didn'
t change the configuration to get that to connect.. merely the origin
ascii_butugychag: i suppose the theory is that we are morons, and will conclude that 'trb is broken, can'
t sync' ?
thestringpuller: i don'
t know in practice how "unknown unknowns" affect the system.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:31:49; mircea_popescu: the problem with tests is that you can'
t test for something not happening.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: wouldn'
t unit testing coverage prevent some of this from becoming a problem?
thestringpuller: well openssl will eventually need to be excised as well, what to replace it with, I don'
t know.
terminal2: Don'
t know anything about ASICMINER
terminal2: I've never had a GPG key before lol. I will make one tonight. On ETH: While I don'
t see a reason for established companies to re-use ethereum - I think you need to account for all the companies nerd kids will create ontop of it - which will grow
mircea_popescu: malformed, dysfunctional, self-contradictory, defeated propositions aren'
t better than the currently chosen broken one. the broken one hasn'
t been chosen on technical merit.
thestringpuller: They said that about Dib from Invader Zim and he obviously didn'
t amount to much.
thestringpuller: AdrianG: there is sanity and insanity. You don'
t try to run a business with insanit expecting it to function.
mircea_popescu: heh, the usg can'
t afford to throw away half a bil just for this.
thestringpuller: Bitcoin isn'
t yieling what they have come to expect, so lets through fiat at Ehtereum and see what happens.
punkman: terminal: just salty that we didn'
t buy mp's cheap eth
☟︎☟︎ ascii_butugychag: doesn'
t help that d.c. roads are packed to 110% even without any snow or rain etc
PeterL: just don'
t drink the water if you are driving through Flint
PeterL: what does DC get, like a half an inch at a time and they shut down? Up north here we don'
t blink at a foot of snow.
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: shouldn'
t you be at home. you don'
t want to get stranded in the uranium mines.
ascii_butugychag: (you need not only snow but rails that aren'
t traversed regularly)
mircea_popescu: ok but aren'
t they intended to be functionally equivalent by the patch ?
mircea_popescu: the problem with tests is that you can'
t test for something not happening.
☟︎ PeterL: Biotech scientists now raising human–animal chimeras on U.S. farms ... << wasn'
t there already a thread about sheepfucking?
mircea_popescu: in other news : the title for stealing the highest traffic website doesn'
t go to the derps you'd expect, but to the russkis equivalent.
http://jw.org mircea_popescu: Steevo moaned, “I can’
t even afford a pizza for the wife and kid on Friday night << the depth of the fucking disconnect. i wouldn'
t even eat what he calls pizza, if it were free. in fact i'd have serious compunction giving it to some begging dude.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t help myself but suspect there may have been a good reason for the weird, even given the immense piles of pointless insanity scattered throughout the code.
mircea_popescu: the wisdom seems to be that "don'
t fucking memcpy by hand, the compiler inlines (or even register-moves) most assignments itself and unlike you it fucking knows when to do it", but hey.
ben_vulpes: i may simply be exhausted, but i don'
t see immediately how the code inside the two branches is supposed to work
mircea_popescu: you don'
t have to read anything. apparently you don'
t even read the log lines!
mircea_popescu: fill a form. turns out they... STILL won'
t process the payment they advertised, unti... you upload "documents". and they'll send your bitcoin back, of course. ALSO after you upload "documents".
mircea_popescu: heh. so i try to use inept merchant. inept merchant doesn'
t take bitcoin, but takes a variety of bullshit "payment processors", one of which "payza". i go whatever, they pop up a 0.04blabla btc, which i pay. turns out THEY WON'
T PROCESS the payment they advertised until you "verify", ie click on some link in email. so i do. turns out they still won'
t process the payment they advertised, untill you... fill a form. so i
mod6: but I didn'
t apply that one, just the second.
jurov: why can'
t you replace with tabs *before* running diff?
mod6: basically, im trying to get my +/- to look like mr. p.'s. but i can'
t seem to achieve that.
jurov: if your're applying s/ /\
t/ straight to the diff, that won'
t work, the format does require space after + or -
mod6: i gotta figure out how to get this patch exactly correct. can'
t seem to do it.
jurov: maybe __FILE__ gives full path, i don'
t remember, then it's not very desirable
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 really you shouldn'
t do this manually, just s/ /\
t/ << lemme try with this. thx.
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 and why not "failed at" #__LINE__ "in" #__FILE__ << sounds good to me, can you give me a full example so I don'
t screw this up, ive never used tat before.
mircea_popescu: mod6 really you shouldn'
t do this manually, just s/ /\
t/
mircea_popescu shudders at the simple count of how many return fail; there are that don'
t say anything else.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it isn'
t like they're being used for something useful anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes meh. they're equally stupid, but shouldn'
t get in the way of anything.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Isn'
t the whole purpose of an FPGA that I can program it in place?
adlai: for the classically-challenged lurkers: it's the last chapter of The Once and Future King, by
T. H. White
trinque: adlai: deed should crap when it catches up; if it doesn'
t I'll be back later to kick it some more
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 22:12:24; asciilifeform: IF I CAN'
T READ IT IN AN EVENING it is a turd
mircea_popescu: mod6 i don'
t think we can not read the wtf is that thing called
mod6: So yep, pretty much same results as yesterday, althought it is noteable that not passing any flag at all ; no txns were dropped on the floor. They wern'
t malleated yesterdayr either, so it could have just been lots of spam yesterday or something similar.
mircea_popescu: it is plainly inconceivable anyone uses a wallet for payments and doesn'
t do this.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i can definitely say that the trb history is adding to ~my~ confusion, but i don'
t see that as something to be avoided. my hope is that i'll eventually make enough sense of this to relay it concisely to others. still much work to do, no doubt.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it wasn'
t that bad. but there's 1-200 man-hours in there easy going through all those cases and justifying them. not to mention that the ones that will need rewriting most llikely amount to two or three total rewrites of the codebase anyway.
mircea_popescu: "I still haven'
t found anyone that is asking for RBF." << pretty muchg the definitive word on that derpage.
pete_dushenski: i literally spent the last 3 hours in channel, typing away, wondering why assbot wasn'
t picking up my links, totally unawares that i hadn'
t voiced myself. that's some kind of new low.
mircea_popescu: well... i would say 50^ of these two months are roughly due to the last year or so. so basically we'll be seeing +1 month / year indefinitely, as blocks can'
t get any fuller.
mircea_popescu: to quote, "name's Pitt, and you ain'
t talkin' your ass outta this shit."
adlai still doesn'
t understand why asciilifeform quoted that
adlai dons gascuba mask and swims to the "don'
t be evil" bank
mircea_popescu: yeh but i don'
t think that group of nuts would like you, or you them. meanwhile the usgod crowd... prolly. maybe. who knows.
adlai doesn'
t recall saying that he himself, that is, adlai_chandrasekhar, wants to meet mircea_popescu or market make options
mircea_popescu: aaaand to make the matter quite plain, i've had it just about up to here witgh idiot jews who think they're exceptional. they aren'
t, the accomodation is 0, they;d better be fucking humble as if they're begging to avoid gang ass rape.
adlai: or he finds somebody who's done it, because ain'
t nobody got time for this. s/nobody/$0 that Matters/
adlai: ok. i know somebody respectable, competent, and so on, and he isn'
t willing to give money to people he hasn'
t met in person.
danielpbarron: I also prefer the '{' on a newline vs on same line as function name. But I haven'
t done nearly as much coding as those of you who hate these conventions so what do I know
mircea_popescu: "Yves here. Get a cup of coffee. This is a deep dive into how Bitcoin works from a payment systems perspective, and why the failure of promoters and journalists to look at it in those terms has led them to greatly overestimate its significance." << "come hear my very novel take on why bitcoin is not disruptive because it doesn'
t do the buzzword i think i understand and for this reason matters more than everything else!"
mod6: not sure what happened there. maybe your local branch doesn'
t have alf's latest 2?
BingoBoingo: They can'
t even beg for bits-coin anymore so they gotta beg for a bits-coin they might eventually have
shinohai: I figured they weren'
t gonna say much until an "official announcement" despite Garzik trying to fly over and garner Classic support.
