fromsiphnos: if, there is something which i don't understand , ( i did understand all you were saying til now ) , I .. will ask ! ☟︎
fromsiphnos: i ... don't know how
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's also fleshlights. i don't program on those.
mircea_popescu: well i don't see how you can get 3 words by multiplying 1 word with another word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think "zero surprise compilation on all machines" is a notable or even desirable concern.
ben_vulpes: trinque: i don't have the appetite for the protocol-level patch atm
trinque: I don't think I'd want to subclass for that though, whole thing just needs to fart raw protocol lines into the db
mircea_popescu: mkay. i don't think this is working out for me.
gabriel_laddel_p: Incidentally, I have a copy of that volume and don't need a link.
mircea_popescu: not really. i don't think it ever gets under 15
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the whole "not for people" libertard thing will last.
mircea_popescu: but the problem remains : i can tell you why any engine doesn't work in all cases ; you can't tell me why people like or don't like anything in any case.
mircea_popescu: In their late twenties the most intelligent among them say to me, "There's something missing in my life, but I don't know what it is." ; and i grin and if they have nice tits and are tall enough i show them to their cell.
mircea_popescu: i'm fabulously rich, i don't do anything.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone seriously believes this dude's stuff is not already held by everyone interested in triplicate.
asciilifeform: '...the nature and seriousness of the danger to any person in the community that will be posed by the release, it's clear that the Government sort of paints the Defendant as a walking encyclopedia of classified information. I don't know if that's completely correct, but I do know that he had access to all of this information, and I credit him, and I certainly am glad we're not sitting here talking
mircea_popescu: i don't think bail is intended to exist anymore.
asciilifeform: i don't, my oracular ball broke, i dropped it on cement.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wait why ? i don't even lift!
ben_vulpes: i would say "fight me irl" but you're the one #t denizen i don't think i'd have reasonable odds against
a111: Logged on 2017-01-27 20:16 Framedragger: i'm still preferring http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503181 but granted, don't have a working "moderated but without captcha" comments solution. best i can think of is, write very light backend service to handle comment post requests, store them somewhere sensible, allow operator to accept/deny comments (could be flat text files)
mircea_popescu: yes well. by the time "scientist" is unable to ~comprehend~ what the fuck the numbers say about his data, i don't care what fucking calisthenics he does.
mircea_popescu: it's always way the fuck better to say "i don't like what you did because" than to say "i don't like what i think it might be the case you say you intend to do because".
mircea_popescu: i don't see that happened.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-27#1608249 << i honestly don't see the problem with taking out the bitcoin signature idiocy. ☝︎
davout: and in this regard, doing-by-hand certainly has value, in the sense that i don't end up with dust
ben_vulpes: wait no i don't, why is tx-gen box to be offlined and not the signing box?

asciilifeform: my only nitpick is the colours, and i don't even know if it is my display calibrarion, or eyes, that balk.
ben_vulpes: i don't see the benefits to the increase of binary compilation targets to 3 from the one extant.
trinque: I don't think anyone brought his cock into the matter
davout: and i really don't understand how keeping stuff around is sane when the functionality is an operator knob-turn away anyway
davout: asciilifeform: well, maybe for forensic purpose you want to open up an accounts-enabled legacy wallet? i don't know, sounds equally likely as "want to check signature some derp made in weird ways during ancient times"
trinque: I don't think it's a sin for davout to go slashing and cauterizing in one direction, meanwhile reference client proceeds in another
trinque: I don't see that it'd be a terrible sin to have multiple branches descending from current trb
thestringpuller: davout: no. I'm just curious if there is a way to scrape UTXO's now, cause for my wallet tron I'm scraping blocks themselves. Def not O(n). (don't laugh)
davout: asciilifeform: i don't think you understand what i'm after, what i'm trying to get to is "sane and explicit knobs" instead of "here use this $magicfee"
trinque: I don't think most of the continent wants to shoost tejas
trinque: I really don't give a fuck if the outer husk becomes a nation
ben_vulpes: "oh i see why you don't like the epa, they fucked up the white pennsylvanian red state people you hate so much. so it's cool that penn no longer has potable water, because they're vile trumpers, right?"
trinque: I don't like the insane asylum in dc any more than anyone else
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it ever was 50% cpu no. but yes continuously.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 17:24 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-26#1607129 << this is unrelated to the discussion ; but since it's brought up this is also not possible. you can't obtain a way to re-create "rousseau's social contract" ie, agreement without the nod. that's heathendom pure and simple ; until and unless i nodded on your fucking law-tax-whatever it ain't got teeth. i don't care what you agreed with whom.

mircea_popescu: i can. don't opt to, because i don't see the merits.
asciilifeform: i don't see this fog of war.
mircea_popescu: the pretense that "oh, i don't need the republic" or "oh, i use the tools at my leisure" or generally "oh, i'm an independent thinker in charge of my destiny" is what gets shot.
mircea_popescu: i don't actually bother with the thief.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone cares about a kg of produce enough these days.
mircea_popescu: original thread was vague and ramified. i don't see what more you need than alf-fucks-goats key ; and the bugaboo of "but mp, then everyone can make random keys i won't know about" seems more like a childhood nightmare than anything.
mircea_popescu: yes, i'm aware palm calculators exist for a while now. they don't "fix math" for the blonde ditz.
mircea_popescu: skills are skills. the expectation that one will go from craddle to grave without having to touch arbitrary class of skills "because i just don't go that way" is entirely hallucinant nonsense.
mircea_popescu acquired new $slavegirl. intelligent girl, very educable (i don't just mean in terms of training-for-slavery, a la BCT, i mean scholarily, with a native thirst for knowledge and a natural dedication to clean thinking) and altogether very pleasant. for historical reasons, unexperienced socially (twentysomething, second time she was in a bar, i took her there) and not particularily capable of talking to people.
mircea_popescu: to obtain a handle one must do specific things ; if they don't, they don't. i don't give out handles like candy because why would i.
mircea_popescu: i don't distinguish between eg adlai or nubbins ; i haven't allocated a handle ; they're just $dork, whatever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't do ai. i do ia.
trinque: I don't dispute the need of the record
trinque: and in those cases I don't think any sane person faults him when the patient dies
trinque: could always leave an expository comment in a file in your patch, but I don't know that it holds that "found item" is less the v-author's fault
mircea_popescu: i don't care.
mircea_popescu: yes i'm aware that forcibly works and their own heads don't. so ?
mircea_popescu: not even that. i don't perceive they're actually hurting. yes they're fucking up the lives of idiots. so ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-25#1606735 << i don't think anyone ever held that xcode is either functional or useful. apple likes it because it's tm and that's about it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-25#1606728 << i don't readily perceive the difference between these two cases ; outside of "if girls are thirsty they're still stupid whereas if i need to shit i know where the wc is." ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'Let's say we move our servers to the newly formed country of Fetopia. The US, UK, Australia, Germany, etc. can still make it difficult for people within their countries' borders to access FetLife. I don't think we would do the community a favor by making FetLife harder to access.'
asciilifeform: i don't build jets. but i do live deep behind enemy lines, and will have -- if lucky -- about 5 seconds of time to pull the pin when the door breaks down.
asciilifeform: hey i don't build fusion reactors either.
mircea_popescu: hey, i don't live there, so...
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't really know what you're asking. his uses llvm-ir to tie into cpp, it's the ~whole point of it.
Framedragger: (project is to build a 'roboadvisor' for real estate. use past real estate purchase price data to build time series, also use near-realtime rental data, combine all into a training set for a model which predicts what's worth to invest in. (not my project idea but i'll be doing some dev work for it.) will need to scrape things which don't particularly like to be scraped. need addresses. "make real estate more transparent")
mircea_popescu: yes but i don't particularly want money nor am i interested in supporting non-tmsr anything. so there's no upside for me whatsoever.
Framedragger: (rehosted that particular post of his here: http://fd.mkj.lt/stuff/vc-21-jan-2017.html i don't think he'll mind. apparently he took a vacation after they seized his equipment)
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever used it. anyway, run of the mill email provider, remarkable because loud refusal to hand over cert keys or some such
mircea_popescu: i don't think thought went into this
phf: yeah, the folder where logs are stored are exposed to public, i don't remember what the url is though, i'll have to check later
mircea_popescu: i don't recall, what was the objection to tinyscheme as the root ?
mircea_popescu: i don't insist re implementation ; was just included as example
asciilifeform: i don't disagree.
mircea_popescu: i don't want the functionality exposed.
phf: re cmucl threads i think that it doesn't always preempt correctly. like it has explicit yield, which you don't always have to call, but it being there implies. also hunchentoot wasn't working right without putting a yield somewhere in the scheduler. it's all very vague, because i've not spend any time looking at it
phf: so i don't know how sbcl does it, but cmucl has unix.lisp, which kernel relies on early on in the operation, and yes, contains all the "talk to the world" crud. cmucl actually does some hack where only subset of unix is used for operations and then when you (require unix) it adds some of the userspace
phf: in unrelated lulz a u.s. retail bank is unable to send an international wire transfer. i bring a piece of paper with all correct requisites. half the numbers "i don't know what this number is", so follow up with calls for numbers from the fucking paper that, who could've predicted, are required. write down the numbers on their end incorrectly. the last part of saga: they now claim one of the numbers is invalid, but if you simply google for it it comes up
pete_dushenski: i don't know ?
pete_dushenski: don't need to tell me, i cashed their paycheques for years.
asciilifeform: fwiw i never saw it and don't have a feeling of having missed anything.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: Of course I don't think that the 'ancap agreement' makes people fulfill it automatically by just saying they will, and there is an additional actual effective system needed to 'enforce' the agreement in a concrete way.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: But did you ask your slaves how much violence from you they need in their lives? There is no problem in the question, because it is a question that can be asked to someone who can actually have a choice. The slaves don't, even if they'd rather have zero violence in their lives, you do have a choice, hence I can ask you the question.
ben_vulpes: i don't keep cats, you don't need to caution me about taking them home.
mircea_popescu: i liked them to, but i don't go around picking them up on the criteria of how much they need me to.
mircea_popescu: i don't think hacker news is cool enough to be here
Framedragger: will honestly review. i don't want to appear completely naive here
trinque: I don't think you realize the politics behind it.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I usually don't see too incredibly young ones. Most often dead critters I find are smaller ones that seem to have been "cat entertainment"
hanbot: asciilifeform: she wanted to be important, i imagine. you shouldn't feed fish to cats, don'tchaknow, cause what if that's not what's good for them. this, ofc, buried in metric fuckton of babbling, todo biens, etc. i'm honestly ashamed i didn't outright sock her one. i end up questioning whether i've a moral imperative to massacre almost every time i venture out by now.
mircea_popescu: anyone seriously looking for practical proof re the whole race-intelligence nonsense is invited to spend some time in buenos aires doing anything. start a bakery, i don't care.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the depths of argentina imbecility can either be comprehended or described withouy a multi-year commitment. it's just a different planet down here.
ben_vulpes: eh i don't really fancy swapping tires every season, 'tis a 1-week twice-a-year sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: i very much don';t think there is such a thing as "an optimal solution" in the field
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall what this references
