trinque: pete_dushenski: so I hear, yet primate infanticide is most certainly a
thing.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: not unlike williamdunne
telling
them
they belong in
the kitchen, i suppose
pete_dushenski: trinque:
that's called 'infanticide' and will apparently kill your chances with
teh ladies
nubbins`: i
think
that's included in
the next omnibus bill
mircea_popescu: otherwise we will never be able
to answer
this dilemma.
mircea_popescu: better get
the pm request special powers
to investigate
the content of people clicks
mircea_popescu: i
thought unemployed is "hasn't made 1mn clicks on fb stuff
this month"
williamdunne: I always
thought
the stat was meant
to reflect
those looking for work who can't find it
assbot: Logged on 24-06-2015 21:27:00; williamdunne: In fairness, unemployment rates are sub 10% while
the rates of loozers are well over 50%
thestringpuller: my mom woulda put me in
the ground had I spoken like
that
to her as a kid
williamdunne: In fairness, unemployment rates are sub 10% while
the rates of loozers are well over 50%
☟︎ mircea_popescu: also leaves, bits of
their own front yard, inept 6yo drawings on bits of wallpaper etc
nubbins`: someone should do a browser extension
that changes all instances of "boss" in /r/bitcoin
to "parents"
nubbins`: of course
the fucking dog dick is a "web designer"
williamdunne: Blender Foundation can receive Bitcoin donations made using
the following address:
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: What is
the drink you have in your blender picture?
cazalla: about $2.99/kg atm but every few years
the storms destroy
the plantations and up
the price goes
thestringpuller: Blender Cloud subscribers can watch
the creation progress closely, share
this with others, learn from it, and even contribute back
to it.
thestringpuller: Blender Cloud is a high quality web service in which we share all data of our previous films, all our
training videos and files, and a continuous stream of data from
the Gooseberry project.
mircea_popescu: anyway -
this is what
the vanishing 1% intelligent gpu bitcoin miners did with
their rigs.
punkman: what's
the cloud service for, rendering?
thestringpuller: they are pushing
the blender cloud service pretty hard
these days
nubbins`: nubbins bedalins, is
that like amelia bedelia?
nubbins`: thought it was
the other way around
mircea_popescu: punkman because a) when i first asked,
their idea was "buy a mug" ; b)
the link i finally fished out did not include any reference either i or fluffypony found (see it in logs) -
they have A DIFFERENT unlinked page for
this purpose
☟︎ thestringpuller: it will be interesting
the posts on reddit when you kill gavincoin just like doge mircea_popescu
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: other
than
the observation
that shorter -> simpler -> everything is slightly less retarded and easier
to make sense of
mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc
the agreement was
that it can go, as it serves no useful purpose nor has for a long
time - but not a priority. we're atm working on getting
the priorities in AND RUNNING
ascii_field: nubbins`: in point of fact,
therealbitcoin includes wallet
nubbins`: with no wallet, what's
the worst you'd do
to it?
ascii_field: btw any reason not
to amputate 'testnet' ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> coffins for everyone involved with checkpoints? <<
this is necessarily
true. bitcoin hardforked once.
mircea_popescu: i
think
that's gonna be
the bitcoin
thing - we're here
to surprise you.
jurov: on slightly related note, we hatched with
thestringpuller a scheme for poor USians
to
take hold of X.EUR
mod6: So anyway, we'll have
to remember
this when we revist
the Checkpoints issue. My patch will be rejected
then, and we'll come up with something
that gets rid of line 939 as well as pulling
the checkpoints
themselves out of checkpoints.cpp and into a separate config file.
ascii_field: iirc
this got lost in
the noise of
the great wedge
thing at
the
time
ascii_field: (i.e. invalid on account of a field
that can be corrected
today without changing validity of signature)
ascii_field: at
the very least i want
to know ~why~ invalid block made it into
the chain
ben_vulpes: my point is
that
they're still walking.
ben_vulpes: not
that
they're not zombies already, but...
ben_vulpes: what happens if
the blockchain contains invalid blocks?
mod6: yeah, line 1099 sets it
to
true.
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2015 04:26:05; asciilifeform: is
the only place where fBlock is
true
mod6: ascii_field: so you're saying you'd like
to just git rid of line 939?
mod6: the part you're
talking about is in main.cpp right?
ascii_field: mod6:
the original (in
there now) checkpoint code
ascii_field: i'm all for having
them in
there minus
the 'skip checks prior
to checkpoints'
thing
mod6: at a later
time when we have everything setup for a checkpoint configuration file,
then we can revisit.
mod6: ascii_field: re: checkpoints:
the patch worked fine
to remove checkpoints, but it was
tabled for
the
time being.
the main discussion around
this was
that it could be helpful
to hvae checkpoints in
there
to prevent spamming of blocks from
timestamps before a checkpoint.
☟︎ ascii_field: does
the ~genuine~, honest blockchain actually contain blocks
that never verified ?
punkman: because it blows up
trying
to verify all
transactions
mats: my memory palace is dark and full of
terrors
ascii_field: i'd much like
to hear a persuasive argument re: why all of
the above won't happen.
ascii_field: (and before someone chimes in with 'so don't use brainwallet' - ~every~ wallet
that you can get
to, but mr schmuck can't, because you know where you buried it, etc. is in fact a 'brainwallet')
ascii_field: and could, in combination with something like
the letter wheel described earlier, 'help remember wallet'
ascii_field: incidentally, usg - like
the regime portrayed by orwell - spends $maxint on attempts
to 'read minds'. not always even laughably stupid -
the mri 'has seen
this object or not before'
trick appears
to actually work
ascii_field: it's like orwell's 'telescreen'
thing. inevitable
tech
mircea_popescu: clarke wrote scifi. orwell wrote emofi. not
the same
thing at all.
ascii_field: ^
this'll be for candidates for 'national 5 minute hate'
mats: 'donate 4btc
to 1Alf153X
to rotate asciilifeform's cell over shark pit'
ascii_field: i don't have a prayer of doing half as good a job as hanbot on
this one.
ascii_field: perhaps painted on outside wall of
the jail
ascii_field: but in
the future, death in captivity will be mainly about being 'helped
to remember' brainwallets.
ascii_field: mats: works great with above setup. optionally jailer doesn't wait for you
to starve, a few wks without any signal from vending machine & you go
to
the harversing
table (wide awake naturally)
mats: voluntold organ harvesting is still an ongoing
thing in cn
ascii_field: everybody stands a risk of being
taken alive, and ought
to be prepared mentally for
this device.
ascii_field: like washing machine.
throw schmuck in, get btc out, eventually remove dessicated corpse, rinse, repeat.
ascii_field: 'vending machine' is inevitable because, unlike
torquemada's chambers, it ~can be built by 'pencil dicks'~
ascii_field: worked great in cn (jp jailers experimenting with 'what internal organs does
this fella ~really~ need' etc)
ascii_field: to use in laboratory for experiments, if
they like.
ascii_field: today 'vacation',
tomorrow - esp. if
they suspect you haven't in fact given 'it all' -
the vending machine.
mircea_popescu: the reason
there's nothing left
there but crooks is precisely
that
the onl;y deal available is "i
try
to steal as much as i can, if you catch me you get it and i
take a vacation"
mircea_popescu: it's pretty automated as it is. look
through wall street "prosecutions" sometime.
