mod6: alright, i've got a first-draft of the gentoo stage3 AMI guide put up for review. Feel free to test this out if anyone wants. I'm having some local guys try this out for me as well. Will report any updates back here.
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu observed, 'everybody gets a death, adequate to his needs, guaranteed.' and i'd rather have mine in a 'bleriot' or holding ak, than from cancer of the tonsils
mircea_popescu: either seem about as vaguely related.
mircea_popescu: why not as an example of why you shouldn't go around without one ?
danielpbarron: they were parading her around as an example of why guns need to go away at the time
mircea_popescu: english as a language secundary.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "We always used condoms before, and we both agreed he's only going to fuck my ass now that we're married. We both love the symbolism — I'll be shitting out his weak sperm while superior black men's seed will soak into my womb as nature intended."
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as in original thread, i will point out that dirigibles (aside from being blown off-course more often than not, and being stuck doing idiotic things like venting lift gas) have gigantic radar cross-sections
ben_vulpes: "the prinary concerns of the Air Force as of 1010 are the establishment of a radar network for control of the country's airspace..." << hyuu
mod6: well, a lot of it was cached, yes. as opposed to "free" or "buffered"
asciilifeform: i fully expect that being so much as found with a model propeller will be grounds for '25 to life' after the first quadcopter explodes somewhere interesting
decimation: asciilifeform: as I recall they now have a joint strike fighter at dulles - with the vertical takeoff variant
trinque: as you can see, the suit's perfectly conformed to his unique form
mircea_popescu: so, you wish to grow tomatoes. you can either grow tomatoes on land owned by old man KYC, who offers the following deal : "you may [pretend like] you're growing tomatoes here, provided you suck my cock for longer than you derp in the garden, and if any tomatoes grow up you owe me twice as many tomatoes on top of those tomatoes", or you could grow them on unrelated land. which may or may not be able to grow tomatoes in
mircea_popescu: quite. and exactly the same with kyc. if you implement the us rules, you're stuck working for the us. it probably doesn't want you to be doing this, and consequently, you are only allowed to "do it" if you don't actually do it, and for as long as you bring money from home.
williamdunne: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127940 << as in, customer can opt to have no communication with exchange outside of pgp ? <<< All email communications were encrypted, and they could communicate with me directly in an encrypted manner. No order entry tho ☝︎
mircea_popescu: davout has it. testnet is about as useful to testing bitcoin as it is to testing litecoin.
mircea_popescu: think of it as separate machines. what the meaning of data is in X, as it passes it to Y, matters little for Y. and vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: "A kid comes into a boxing gym. Your job as a coach is to discourage him so that he quits early on and does not waste your time."
mircea_popescu: trinque well entirely different consideration, this. i was looking at it from the subjective perspective. nevermind what the world tells you to do. why the fuck are you telling yourself to do things you're clearly no good for ? it's as if at the orchestra auditions everyone wanted to play the instruments they sucked at.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field for as long as i can remember, the entire point, of school, and of intellectual activity of young people, was to find wtf they're good for.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dhill as well iirc
trinque: heh, JS's whole design philosophy being "create as much attack surface as possible"
trinque: no need for two, it's not as though it uses that distinction for any benefit
ascii_field: jurov: as far as i can tell, not so much embargo as 'not enough to go around, so members-only'
ascii_field: to take extant bitcoind as gold standard for anything whatsoever - is lunacy
mircea_popescu: (this is not as lulzy as it sounds. there MUST be a fractal pattern somewhere that also makes a machine)
ascii_field: for approx. same reason as mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127940 << as in, customer can opt to have no communication with exchange outside of pgp ? ☝︎
ascii_field: there is a (plausible) legend that the strike on the cn embassy was deliberate - as it was where the carcass was hidden
mircea_popescu: those things are as big as the damned f117
mircea_popescu: "those guys are the top just because they're priviledged, we can be just as good as them, even better. because we want to, that's why!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, if there are any javascript experts in the room, you, trinque, whoever : currently it pisses me off because if you click on page it scrolls you to top. any idea how to fix it so it ignores clicks ? just, never scroll as a result of a click.
davout: is it supposed to work on trilema? as in, i select arbitrary text and i'l given a URL reference?
mats: (as long as you fill unused flash with high entropy NOPs that eventually jump to a fault handler, and do attestation via reset to a minimal bootloader that can use all memory)
ascii_field: as far as i'm concerned, if it won't compile on my box, for my box, it doesn't exist
pete_dushenski: was in article as well.
pete_dushenski: same as this : http://www.mcst.ru/arm-elbrus401
ascii_field: one of the things glaringly missing from even the costliest x86 mb is a means for connecting them as tiles
pete_dushenski: but yes, is this elbrus isn't sufficiently magical, then it makes as much sense as buying 10,000 apple watches
williamdunne: That depends on the function you are going for. SSL doesn't serve as a way to verify each party and obviously has some contentious things going on with cert authorities.
williamdunne: thestringpuller: PGP over HTTP is not necessary when using SSL (HTTPS). Signing and encrypting with PGP is a nice way to bypass using authorization tokens, though, but it is not usable in a modern exchange interface. Trades on MPEx are very slow as a result.
danielpbarron: "But what if one of these government backed exchanges start working with a huge leverage using fiat as its backing and not bitcoins?" << start? isn't that the SOP?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> this one's for BingoBoingo : http://firstdown.ro/stiri/diverse/bucharest-warriors-inving-categoric-mures-monsters/ << That's quite the one sided game. The write up of the handegg game as though it is a soccer game is an interesting cultural artifact. Also that quarterback with all the touchdown passes seems to have an awfully generic name...
ben_vulpes: http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-smartphone-market-slows-down-1431296873 << modern manufacturing can crank out so many units as to completely overwhelm demand. this, i believe, is what's actually driving apple into the 'watch market', such as it is
cazalla: i dunno, sorta like micropenis guy claiming 4-5 of his would be just as good if not better than a 10" eh? :P
cazalla: davout, i think he is more likely to be trolling than a canary as you said on /r/bitcoin.. the guy has had his childish tantrums on bitcointalk before in 40pt font
mircea_popescu: about as avoidable as farts.
asciilifeform: the interesting thing is, as i pointed out in link, 1) kinetics (how quickly energy is delivered) matter far more than thermodynamics (how much is delivered)
decimation: at any rate, as I wrote later, it seems that the actual amount of U in the ground isn't really fully known
mircea_popescu: this happens naturally as well. it's what it does.
decimation: That?s the same volume as 35 olympic swimming pools. "
livegnik: So, as a salesman, I might sell it as supernode Rollodex, relaying information among trusted parties.
livegnik: As long as it doesn't go in-depth concerning the technicals, a good salesman should at least be able to discuss the concept, right?
livegnik: I like the analogy of an electronic Rolodex. It's dissimilar to the extent that it wasn't shared as easily among all trusted parties.
williamdunne: Mmm adding them as rates seems awkward, should be separate. Also gives a false sense of security
williamdunne: Na thats 2.5 minute blocks, so this is like 2.5 litecoins. And there are double as many litecoins as there are bitcoins so this idea is worth what, 105,000,000 bitcoins?
williamdunne: Might as well port the DB to MongoDB while we're at it
mircea_popescu: This would also be why I don't think so very much of the libertards, and why I find myself so often in contradiction with people who view them as either powerful or in any sense a threat (usually both) : they aren't, either, nor could they really be, either, because the only tool they know actually works for them only a short distance of its run, and for us the entire length of that same run. The libertard's gambit is ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 10-05-2015 17:55:59; asciilifeform: that's the thing, the 'increasingly sees as pointless' was after things turned 'rational'
mircea_popescu: just like you can be the life of the party and command everyone's attention for as long as you're being riveting ; just as long as you can tell women to suck your cock for just as long as it's a juicy cock to suck.
jurov: i can see alf's point that generally, such things are done only as "bigger cock" exercise.
jurov: no i understood it generally as "anyone's time"
decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1127250 < I remember watching some derpy 'global warming gonna kill us by 2000' documentary as a kid in the 80's. I remember feeling cognitive dissonance when I looked outside and saw that the weather was fine ☝︎
asciilifeform: take, or leave - that is the explanation behind all of the retardation we know as 'computing'
mircea_popescu: it was misperceived by their enemies as "actual", which is how their tactics worked.
asciilifeform: nobody's about to pour and slice a Si boule as volunteer.
mircea_popescu: plan proceeds as planned.
mircea_popescu: so, what's a fab cost ? like 10bn or so, say ? less, but anyway. what's the current print rate ? 10x that A MONTH or so ? at least as far as documented (most monetary expansion happens in the dark anyway, it was recently rechristened as "big bank fraud" temporarily, but it is not nor ever was that - most monetary expansion is regulated by the banks)
assbot: Logged on 10-05-2015 17:22:40; asciilifeform: as for the free world, it has -not one chip fab- to its name
mircea_popescu: "It’s hard to think of another movie since then that’s been so quotable, so memorable, so widely watched, and has even aged as well as it has." << except star wars, star trek, most of manga...
assbot: Logged on 10-05-2015 17:03:44; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1126936 << one of the nice things about having the source, regardless of how idiotic the dev process which produced it, is cutting away the crud. which you can do with coreboot, just as with bitcoind etc.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I'm really curious as to what decisions led to that photo
ben_vulpes: this is true in sa as well?
asciilifeform: that's the thing, the 'increasingly sees as pointless' was after things turned 'rational' ☟︎
jurov: that increasingly sees whole exercise as utterly pointless?
asciilifeform: which is, the basic idea of integrated circuit, as we know it, is inherently centralizing
asciilifeform: making so much as an open full-adder would be an astonishing feat
decimation: one wonders why these other countries don't perceive this as a 'sovereignty' issue
asciilifeform: as for the free world, it has -not one chip fab- to its name ☟︎
asciilifeform: as far as usg is concerned, this kind of design -is- proper
decimation: yeah that's depressing as hell
asciilifeform: afaik there are -no- independent (as in, based on published documents) reimplementations of arm in production today.
asciilifeform: i will go on record as objecting to anything which extends its life
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1126936 << one of the nice things about having the source, regardless of how idiotic the dev process which produced it, is cutting away the crud. which you can do with coreboot, just as with bitcoind etc. ☝︎☟︎
Naphex: Khipus, the ancient blockchains. Had much of the security model as well
davout: as the little work would say: 'victory is mine!'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "Gerrit workflow - Gerrit interprets each Git commit as an individual change. Changes are autobuilt by Jenkins, and can be reviewed by developers. Once a change has gotten a positive review and has no build issues, it is applied to the master branch. Thus, no developer directly pushes to master."
mod6: yeah, then that something different entierly i'd guess as far as statutes, etc.
mircea_popescu: but nevertheless... the plane looks as much as a plane as it could, among the bamboo sticks and clay pottery.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of annoying "magic numbers will save us" voodoo in there, like "Each server is required to deposit a certain amount of money in a special account to be used as potential fines or rewards for proof of misconduct."
jordandotdev: pete_dushenski: naw just had this as one of my channels in autojoin irccloud - I've been interested in mircea's work and have read some of his stuff
jordandotdev: I was working for a VC firm as my dayjob
jordandotdev: and the CEO is great, and they're good guys, really focused on keeping people safe...but as far as 'tech initiatives' I was really in the wrong place
mircea_popescu: then at most you can say is, nurture 2x as important as nature. youcan't say 66%/33%
mircea_popescu: and yo, various derps : next time you read something on the log, don't just run off and repackage it as your own thing, like some sort of idiot third worlder. link it to its source, that's how the giants were made upon whose shoulders your midget parents made you scum.
mircea_popescu: it was discussed on #bitcoin-assets long before the various bottom feeders posing as "technical" something or the other caught wind of it.
mircea_popescu: because odds are it will continue to exist through 2020, and just as untouched
asciilifeform: as a matter of fact, they did.
asciilifeform: as cazalla no doubt knows well, leporidae actually do this
