mod6: <+guruvan> mod6: that image I made last night isn'

mircea_popescu: she kept a blog years ago but didn'
t write much in it. she did write asylum with me, so there's that.
mircea_popescu: the only practical way to know google didn'
t fucking invent the un-shat-upon screen is to personally know the devs that had done it before. i suspect this is true of most "genius ideas".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform before it was mass produced because five barons couldn'

guruvan: sorta - I think I have everything in the current mirror set all figured out - haven'

mircea_popescu: i never lived in a fucking hovel where the heating wasn'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh tell me more about how sane people don'

assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 21:36:22; ben_vulpes: anyways, doesn'
t get hot enough to do the radiant trick, you end up heating the whole place instead of the place where you are.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 21:21:26; asciilifeform: to even contemplate the notion that it doesn'
t matter, or to suggest that it is anything short of certain, betrays a deep ignorance of the actual making-things business as it stands for the last 200 yr.
mod6: and don'
t nuke your entire world.
mod6: so if you have yours somewhere it'd be awesome to get that and place it somewhere so I don'
t lose it again.
mod6: asciilifeform: punindented was trying to help out a bit -- he hit that weird bug with vdiff on ubuntu or debian or something, when then reminded me that I lost your fix for that. I've searched through logs many times, can'
t seem to find it. I did actually ask yesterday too:

☟︎ mod6: <+jurov> mod6 why gdb? systemwide gdb works fine << my gentoo didn'
t have gdb built via portage, so when I went to build that, it blew up (re: yesterday).
BingoBoingo: Offensive comments related to ... body size << It's because Gavin's bulking isn'
t it?
trinque: I've also rewritten the IRC bot portion, and the new thing knows how to reclaim nick, and generally speaking doesn'

mircea_popescu: ascii_rear isn'

http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=3657 << this is a nice and fine article, except at the part where the dude pretends like his betters - that is to say, rich people, white people, powerful people, me - are "an unknown quantity" and somehow an old policeman / janitor's relative is different. fuck that. you MAY have your little niceties, for jsut as long as you clearly understand that your role here is strictly

thestringpuller: ascii_shmoocon: cause right now it seems production is held by incompetent cartel, which is why I said it'd be less of problem if friedcat hadn'
t spit in MPEx's face.
mircea_popescu: there's this ancient romanian rhyme, "caligula imperator si-a facut calul senator. petru groza, mai sinistru, si-a facut boul ministru". i can'
t help but think of it when would-be pygmalions are not content to merely cut themselves a fucktoy/mate out of stone
jurov: yes, depends on mathematic discovery of class of functions that fulfills criteria, obv can'
t just decide workfunction willy nilly
jurov: imo if mining can'
t be avoided, ideal mining algorithm would be one that changes often, unpredictably and substantially
thestringpuller: instead of USG this time, it's d00ds who weren'

thestringpuller: ascii_shmoocon: this wouldn'

adlai: fwiw bramc (of bittorrent fame) is working on space-hard PoW which he hasn'
t yet decided whether to nameclash with PoC (concept vs capacity) or PoS (shit vs space)
mircea_popescu: technically. there isn'

☟︎ ben_vulpes: mine did obsd just fine, didn'
t want to accelerate videocards though
phf: i tried openbsd on it, but it wouldn'
t even boot. i'm pretty sure it's an issue with integrated/discrete video cards
ben_vulpes: i'm playing openbsd quest most recently, as openbsd didn'

phf: but you're not supposed to touch those files directly, oh no, they are undocumented and what are you some kind of terrorist. instead there's 20 incompatible power/suspend/battery/sensor/fans/specialkeys control daemons in various states of disarray. "oh, if your fans don'

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-11-2015#1325573 << Employer matches 401k up to ~6% of annual income pre-tax. The 401k program allows you to tke a 401k loan and pay yourself back. Best case scenario you pay the fiat back over X period (as long as you don'

thestringpuller: Isn'
t BitcoinJ the thing that lame android client used? That thing was buggy as hell and like 15 different distros of android caused the wallet to leak keys.
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2016 01:20:08; mircea_popescu: actually i wouldn'

mircea_popescu: this is a substantially different statement from your "i expect it won'

mircea_popescu: so wait, i shouldn'

mircea_popescu: yes, actually, there were. you don'

mircea_popescu: because if the personification of justice sits there and says "only had one bullet, and ms were idiots - so i killed the dangerous morons", i can'

mircea_popescu: and note that there wasn'

mircea_popescu: and yes this means that julie slaveface doesn'

mircea_popescu: NACK. This renders hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment useless. It will leave a bad taste in the miners' mouth. I also think this is an unnecessary fix to a problem that won'
t exist in the long term. ASIC mining hardware will sooner or later hit fundamental physical limits and become commoditized. Decentralization of mining will naturally follow."

pete_dushenski: i think the issue here might be with the conception that power is binary and that its centres must contain all or none. it isn'
t. there are gradations. so even if bitcoin is very, very valuable, it won'

t eat bits.
pete_dushenski: jurov: i guess i don'
t see that all the world's power ~has~ to be "in" bitcoin.
pete_dushenski: so having geographic divisions still makes sense, even across cultural lines if people can'
t be persuaded to get along via market forces
