mircea_popescu: lol i think i deposited a btc back when it was a few hundy

ben_vulpes: well shit now someone has to build a gpg-gram adressee grepulator

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: if you're talking about http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749036 my guess is that's a block inclusion receipt ☝︎

mod6: asciilifeform: ok I got it working with gnat-2016. somehow i had a corrupted install i believe. http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/AOIKx/?raw=true

mircea_popescu: it's like... a 900 year old text about cryptoconcerns.

mircea_popescu: aaand here's a bit for trinque 's humanities studies : "Dies irae, dias illa solved saeculum in favilla teste David cum Sibylla ; quantus tremor est futurus quando Judex est venturus cuncta stricte discussurus!"

mircea_popescu: so i re-watched la grande belezza for like the twelfth time. it's possibly the greatest film ever made. or maybe i'm just slow -- for instance, only now did it finally occur to me that the giulio moneta, "uno dei dieci latitanti piu ricercati del mondo" was in fact a straight reference to m m denaro.

asciilifeform: 'He also unwittingly became caught up in the news in 2013 when he attempted to sign up for health insurance on HealthCare.gov, the then-new website for Obamacare. He described the experience in a series of tweets, noting at first that he was successful in setting up an account. But then he ran into problems in completing the sign up, mirroring the experience of millions of users, who faced glitches in the site’s earliest days. The

fromloper: I had a registered nickname on freenode a while ago, I'll try to remember the password

mircea_popescu: fromloper consider getting a name ?

fromloper: the macroinstruction set doc was actually published as a dead tree book?

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it just means in a different kind of game. a very sad one. like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSK7KWye0n0&feature=youtu.be

fromloper: this seems to be Symbolics' internal docs for the Ivory. are they sufficient to develop a clone? I've tried to find previous discussions of this particular subset of docs in the logs but didn't find anything.

mircea_popescu: i propose in a decade or two we all retire and live off the auctioning of memorabilia.

asciilifeform: i have 2x a 'массово габаритный макет' if you will , of the FG pcb , also prolly auctionfodder candidate

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: maybe at some point we auction prototype rng ( asciilifeform has a few , mircea_popescu also, and somebody else i think )

mircea_popescu: now if only we had a bitbet to lose our shit betting on what eventual price the shit ends up sold at...

mircea_popescu: i guess i was off by a zero again ?

danielpbarron: i have several hundred 200k quality from before the split, which i guess are worth more than 3 USD a pop

danielpbarron: by my math a 100 USD chetty stick would come out to 5mn quality. you have these??

mircea_popescu: including any marina outfitter i ever saw. 8k dollars would be like what, a roomfull ?

mircea_popescu: this discussion spurred me to realise that eg my 4k pile of high-quality coarse cordage is thereby worth like... 50mn ECu or so, nominally ? leaving how it would prolly sell for more than 100% (duh), that's likle... a toyota's worth of IMAGINARY coarse cordage ?

lobbes: danielpbarron, sounds like a plan. Lemme know if you wanna settle via eulora vs deedbot. Either way I'm in the mines atm, I can settle stuff tonight though

danielpbarron: lobbes, i think i still owe you from a previous quarter and you should price that based on whatever it was back then

mod6: There was some commenting out of the Restrictions that I needed to do. If/when I get a successful environment to build it, then will sign.

mircea_popescu: not even sure what they;'re worth by now, but prolly a benji or so.

mircea_popescu: lobbes remind me to give you a chetty stick next we meet ; for greater glory.

mircea_popescu: the principal consideration here being that if you charge more than maybe a quarter or so, you're basically paying for someone to make a competitor.

mircea_popescu: shinohai nah. BUT! i did encounter a massive old world item, which i will presently show. though other thinjhs in queue. so after that.

lobbesbot: Logged on 2017-09-11 01:43:33: <lobbes> New fees are now as follows: 2000 ECu per hour for auctions ending with a sale, 10000 ECu per/hr for auctions ending in no sale

mircea_popescu: shinohai us style fridge, electric stove, a double sink and countertops. or how do you mean ?

danielpbarron: and while we're on the topic, i also have a non-auction listing on ebay where people can buy multiple or make me an offer

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron rather, lets see what happens first, 3 days pass or 10mn ECu become worth more than a car.

mircea_popescu: i guess i did, at that. poor slavegirls, how they slave, literally, over a hot stove only to be taken for granted.

mircea_popescu: (the wind power plant still unmoved. they missed out on like 30% of all the power they're ever gonna generate this year, because of this lulz. i do not believe it's a genuine technological item anymore.)

asciilifeform did picture mircea_popescu as having a dedicated 'muhahahahaha' balcony

shinohai: Now take same notebook, have slave girl wipe ass on single sheet. Put up for auction on reddit or a chan. Pretty sure some degenerate will pay $100+ for a waifu notebook with poop in it.

mircea_popescu: this is a pretty great set-up!

mircea_popescu: so if it's fiddy bux to ship, and 1e9 ECu to the Bitcoin, it then follows anything under 3mn is actually a loss.

lobbes: I'll add the aggregate 'filesize' of the zips requested to their 'tab' and work out payment later on down the line. Probably will be the '1 satoshi per Mb' rate to be called once past a certain threshold

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749504 << not yet. My current idea is to post a plaintext list of all zipped urls on my www. People can curl/grep what they are interested in and submit either a list of urls or a single url to lobbesbot via !Qarchive and then be sent a download link. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ffa series is as much a course in vtronics, as in arithmetics.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has a point, FZ_Neg is nonsense.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749440 << saw a civillian windows machine earlier today, it was a show! two different antiviri, firefox took ~5 minutes to load a page, went dark 5 times in the interval, it was something else. ☝︎

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in trilemalottery, http://trilema.com/2014/the-complexity-of-life-a-triad/#comment-123868

asciilifeform: diana_coman: a useless line cut out, is not a small bit, it is a serious contribution .

mircea_popescu: taking a line out is the largest non-tiny bit ; after taking two lines out.

mircea_popescu: next time, tell 'em a girl can't be cold if her concha's functioning properly.

BingoBoingo: Typically moto with rubbermaid storage container strapped to the back pulls up, hails me from a clearly not thief distance and requests directions.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lulz of all time, a while back : cop pulls over, asks driver if she knows what the speed limit is. before she can answer i ask him if he knows the way to so and so, which he proceeds to explain. we... leave.

diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw I read it as in went through it line by line and with pencil and paper; ran it too at the end, played a bit around with tests and that; and since we are at this, nitpick: in FZ_Swap why T:=X if already initialised at declaration or what am I missing of Ada in there? ☟︎

asciilifeform: do the exercises ( where i marked 'if you do not fully get this, get out a notebook and pencil ' etc 0

asciilifeform: today we learn mircea_popescu does not wear a chapeau claque!111

mircea_popescu: i guess ima be buying a new hat.

BingoBoingo ended up getting a local style maybeleather/maybevinyl hat

a111: Logged on 2017-12-11 15:42 mats: lots going on for mats, i'm trying to make my way to .tw within a year, then hk. futzing with student visa right now

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749400 << are they of the people who actually give a shit ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: a miliwife.

a111: Logged on 2015-08-15 15:31 asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238595 << when boiling the proverbial frog, when it gets cooked enough you can just turn up the heat to whatever. srsly, they included a keylogger and admitted to it. why should they not also rape you in every other possible hole, and drill new ones as desired ?

asciilifeform: not that 1 more, or 1 less trojan is particularly meaningful on a microshit box

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749425 << I have always been envious of "normal" skin like this. I'm a ginger, so my skin has only two states: ultra-white and "lobster" ☝︎

BingoBoingo: For other gringos contemplating travel to Montevideo, so far in my experience voseo has not been a big deal. However my ears are still adjusting to yeshimo.

phf: same with me, like most slavs, after about a week of sun, i bronze

BingoBoingo: phf: They may confuse it with a panama hat. For a nominally latin country I am somehow more tan on the exposed areas of my skin than many of the local adult males.

shinohai: Throw in a few hue's and br's to confuse them.

BingoBoingo: mats: Do you know where you DON'T need a visa?

mats: lots going on for mats, i'm trying to make my way to .tw within a year, then hk. futzing with student visa right now ☟︎

asciilifeform: there is ( or was ? ) a tarball on the vendor's www.

asciilifeform: mats: not specifically. it's a standard opteron, with the exception of no vga. ( use serial console. )

mats: do you have a gentoo recipe for apu1?

asciilifeform: mats: 3ware . ( afaik nobody else has ever made an iron raid that worked half a shit's worth )

asciilifeform: in other noose, turned up that the pilot opterons in asciilifeform's torture room have a disappointing onboard raid that supports only sata2 (3Gb/s). upgrading'em with sata3 raidtrons (6Gb/s)

asciilifeform: wasn't ben_vulpes's chix a 'imdb-profiled' notable ?

shinohai: Careful BingoBoingo it may be a carefully crafted 3-D simulation.

mircea_popescu: even cheap bullets are like 50 cents each. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-29#1473356 is like $15 a pop. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: NOT "did you ever consider venera's wings could take a turn most material" but YES "wanna come back to my place ?"

mircea_popescu: aaand in other "curse of the ukr chick" news, temp here dropped to a very cool 15 over the past coupla days. HOW DO YOU LIKE MY MILD NAO, BEOTCH!

RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu I have a couple of translators sorting out their IRCs today and should be present within the next 24 hrs or so. I've only done some basic screening - they are all native Chinese, speak English well enough and are available to do translation work. Besides speaking to them, I have NOT gone through any further process of elimination - ie. collected writing samples to have compared, etc.

trinque: in this case it was a box going from an IDE platter to IDE to mSATA adapter + ssd.

a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 22:35 trinque: there will be a brief wallet outage while I swap a hard drive.

danielpbarron: catholicism is a false religion for many other reasons besides letting women speak in church

a111: Logged on 2017-11-18 22:22 ben_vulpes: republic really doesn't have repeatable steps for building a gentoo with gcc 4.9, does it

asciilifeform: 'I have built a NetBSD release from trunk 1 January each year 2002–2016 ... I built i386 (which is the NetBSD name for x86, even though it does not support i386 CPUs any longer) and sun3. The reason I choose them is that they represent two extremes of architectures — sun3 is a hardware platform that was obsolete already in the mid-nineties, so software size "should not" increase for it unless new functionality is added, while the

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-10#1749266 << asciilifeform has been chewing on this conundrum for a while. the inevitable pill is a minimal ( see also e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-12#1736844 ) but reasonable microscopic interpreter ( likely schemelike ) in asm; and from it, to climb back up. ☝︎☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: 'oh here's something that looks like a proggy. let's all stand next to it and opine.'

a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 02:43 asciilifeform: the sad fact re gnat is that there is no known way to build a gnat without an existing (built) gnat.

mircea_popescu: it'll hold, dude. i went illegalyl from mexico into guatemala for literal lack of anyone to give a shit.

ben_vulpes: either get a real bouncer or read the wwwlogz

asciilifeform: that's a first. this was on the ppc? or on pc?

asciilifeform: ( the building can happen, however , on any box having a working gnat of whatever type )

asciilifeform: the sad fact re gnat is that there is no known way to build a gnat without an existing (built) gnat. ☟︎

ben_vulpes: it is sitting happily on a desk, refusing to ada for reasons of package gcc 4.9 blocks gnat-gpl, which is the point at which i threw up my hands and declared a temporary retrograde advance

asciilifeform: i thought ben_vulpes had a ppc thing
