gabriel_laddel: "stabilizing time" == building a castle
asciilifeform: if you have a good proper coke biznis why wouldja walk around shaking down plebes for lunch money.
asciilifeform: beaten for usd ? check, every 2 wks, every time i get a cheque lol
ben_vulpes: all i see is the same old same fuckin old excuses for not having the readies and willingness to do what it takes to operate a full node
gabriel_laddel: trinque 1. get a job at startup without having graduated from anything ever, with no network (CHECKMARK)
ben_vulpes: dude the best thing you could be doing right now is living out of a shoebox and extracting as many dollars from the sv machine to turn into btc as you possibly can.
trinque: you are not in a position to declare what you want.
gabriel_laddel: but beyond that, I was applying to accelerators with this company because I don't want a real job
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 18:29 asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all.
trinque: what's the point of putting a company pitch in a cover letter for another job? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-12-01 02:29 asciilifeform experimented with dvorak a few times over the years, found that he doesn't enter enough human language text to make the effort worthwhile
asciilifeform: there's an ancient and now-unsupported closed warez turd. and a buncha open sores that dun work ~at all. ( on linux, i dun give a fuck what exists for microshit )
gabriel_laddel: afaict, the lack of a CAD program to input the clean routines is the only reason I get interrupted by cleaners in whatever lounge I happen to be working in
asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all. ☟︎
asciilifeform: btw gabriel_laddel there is a massive unfilled hole in cad-dom ,
trinque: gabriel_laddel: you're sharting up a biz?
asciilifeform: how does a cad proggy compete with vaccuum co tho
asciilifeform: 'Antecedent companies are iRobot (ie roomba. founded 1990, IPO $100MN in 2005 at 24/share), Neato (raised 45MN, 2005, acquired by 'Vorwork', a German household appliances firm this Sept. Fiscal details unavailable). Both ventures attempted an 'AI' ...' << what means 'antecedent ventures' ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 12:58 mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743518 prolly needs to be addressed better than the original "i wouldn't give a shit" : i'm ready to take over the governance of the entire world from the hands of the inept pretenders of today, as of yesterday. the result would be very ~different~, yes, but that's irrelevant.
asciilifeform: ( grrr, where is the link! it's a jpeg, on trilema somewhere ! )
ben_vulpes: "sekuhara" being the noise little japanese girls emitted in storms of arousal when i played in japan as a youf
ben_vulpes: keillor was a liberal entertainment darling, right up there with ira glass for trophy of most inoffensive and least entertaining person that Everyone Agrees Is Just Amazing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are emoticons of USian attempt at having a cultured. Matt Lauer is NBC's younger man hosting morning news show for older women.
ben_vulpes: keillor ran a variety show for people afraid of vaginas on NPR forever
BingoBoingo: And in other news, Conde Naste has decidedly quit the jet set: " Holiday gift guide 2017 — The 2017 Ars Technica gadget gift guide: On-the-go and travel tech edition We reflected on a year of testing to find the best tech for your next road trip."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> this is a ssd box, on very reasonable fiber, no less. << I am very glad/sad that asciilifeform's sync from wild experiments are concordant with my own ☟︎
asciilifeform: this is a ssd box, on very reasonable fiber, no less.
asciilifeform: fortunately if you have logging switched on, it's a straight grep
asciilifeform: ( getting this number from a trbtron is still a manual process. )
asciilifeform: ( ignoring for a moment the fact that if shitreich subject walks in with 1 btc, they will give 5k usd to him and 5k to clitler )
asciilifeform: yes a gox will give a plebe 10 ( 11? ) k if he comes in with 1. but beyond this.
asciilifeform: ignoring for a moment the folly of formulating btc-usd as a scalar ( picture if somebody were to show up with a million-btc buy or sell, say ) -- i have nfi what the actual, honest number is , nor any clue as to where such a thing might even be hidden
mircea_popescu: in which sense, ethereum (not as the item, but as the prion set) is necessary for bitcoin to go into the millions. just a step on teh road.
mircea_popescu: this trading as a bloc means, importantly, that the political and legal framework changes.
mircea_popescu: as a result, they traded their valuable token AS A BLOC to other people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform leaving reality aside, i can readily show in a snowglobe model how it's a problem. so, some indians (by which derrogatory term we denote genetically stunted, phenotypically inferior apes with some superficial semblance of humanity) had their "land" token inflated by events into great value cca 1600.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/an-era-ends-today-a-new-era-starts-today/#footnote_3_53302
mircea_popescu: " Consider that the market is currently pricing Bitcoin over 10k as a 114.19/73.69 sort of proposition. That's right : the open market valuation of the notion that Bitcoin will go over 10`000 USD this year is not so much worse than even odds."
asciilifeform: i'm not equipped to say whether this is a problem
asciilifeform: it ain't like losing a bag of usd, or a diamond, not easy to forget.
asciilifeform: lol at least mircea_popescu had some cuffs for a spell. all i got for 5btc was losing to alphago and watching hitler cackle...
asciilifeform: and mouse could live for a century on the flakes of skin that fall of the elephant, why not.
mircea_popescu: also managed to misplace a 2ct diamond i used to wear in mah lapel... utter puyi operation i'm running over here. ☟︎
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf do you happen to have a copy of bolix's adatron src ? dun look like it's on the classical disk set, at least not in src form.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-11 20:25 asciilifeform: https://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_55_0 << holy SHIT that's a lengthy buglist for a proggy that... loads http and puts to stdout
asciilifeform: and i'ma save some wear on ye olde kbd, and leave a http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-11#1697191 . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-02-16 15:59 asciilifeform: 'The glibc DNS client side resolver is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when the getaddrinfo() library function is used. Software using this function may be exploited with attacker-controlled domain names, attacker-controlled DNS servers, or through a man-in-the-middle attack.'
mircea_popescu: i recall reading this a while backl
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom ! https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_2017-af0a.html >> 'libcurl contains an out boundary access flaw in SSL related code. When allocating memory for a connection (the internal struct called connectdata), a certain amount of memory is allocated at the end of the struct to be used for SSL related structs ... The math used to calculate the extra memory amount necessary for the SSL library was wrong on 32 bit systems,
asciilifeform: a good chunk of'em -- work
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/liberals-what-liberals/#footnote_1_70002 << in which i discover idiocy even has a name. apparently it was CEDR, back in 2016!
asciilifeform: q nao is which gnat to patch -- and take as a pet, and genesis etc
asciilifeform: there is a mode ( see also log ) where it doesn't insert anything, that is used traditionally to compile gnat itself. but there it hard-enforces adacore's weird style scheme, and cannot be forced not to. i'ma have to patch.
asciilifeform: i dun need a barrel of green for anything ( the only place i can spend it here, is the veggie market. and at airport they confiscate any over 10k . ) nor is depositolade in usgbank of any use, obummer immediately claims half
asciilifeform: the only thing asciilifeform would ever consider spending coinz on, is a perma-ticket out of the shitreich.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-29#1744060 << lol mats why would i want it in a usg-transparent bank ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( there is not , for perfectly fundamental reasons, a compiler that can be blindly trusted -- to work correctly, not even speaking of thompsonism here )
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 17:24 asciilifeform: ^ which does mean that i'ma have to a) audit the binary when ffa built for use in the field b) patch gcc/gnat not to emit DIV
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 04:41 ben_vulpes: give it a half decade
a111: Logged on 2017-11-18 16:02 mircea_popescu: i would much prefer to have a v-root for whatever bios, with the binary clearly laid out, so people with the competence can take it apart.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 01:38 asciilifeform yet again, for 3rd time in 2 yrs, attempted and failed to build a 'zero foot print runtime' for gnat -- to abolish the 3MB of liquishit it shits into every executable.
asciilifeform: and dafuq do i need a suitcase of green for inside usaschwitz.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: only if you have a mircea_popescu-strength meat otc wot
BingoBoingo: Or till March, or whatever man. Great Again cannot Make Great in a single day.
ben_vulpes: give it a half decade ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( and yes with a c 'main.c' , otherwise motherfucker dun even have any idea where .code seg starts )
asciilifeform: it aint just exceptions, either. gnat happily ignores the fact that strings package isn't used, and inserts a dependency on it for the linker to barf on. ditto tasks, and a dozen other.
ben_vulpes: heh verily i do not remember, 'twas not a concern
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly asciilifeform i saw you mention 'goxlag' a few times recently, is bitfinex not releasing btc?
asciilifeform: granted it's a standard lib, and contains various items like the ( spiffy, but i dun use it in p !!! ) threading system
asciilifeform: ffa.a stripped is 50kB; 'hello world' without anything whatsoever, null procedure, is 3.5MB
asciilifeform: it's a sabotaged proggy.
asciilifeform: bonus hell : if you want to build a rts, you gotta use "-gnatg" flag. or you get:
asciilifeform: but then welcome to an inner circle of hell, because it's a mass of ??? interdependently glued to itself with broken glass
asciilifeform: so the next logical thing is, you go and find where yer gnat's a-except.adb/ads live, and try and backport'em, right ?
asciilifeform: the approach to making a rts ( gnatruntime ) from 0, depicted in e.g. https://github.com/alkhimey/Ada_Kernel_Module_Toolkit works -- but does not result in a ffa-usable rts , because the boundschecking exceptionhandlers are not present.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 18:36 asciilifeform: in other noose, ffa elf on x86-64 with no inlinings and stripped .a , is ~50kB
asciilifeform: see , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741741 , but a RUNNABLE linked elf is multi-MB and full of turd and quite unauditable. ☝︎
asciilifeform: funnily enough adacore itself publishes a great many cut-down runtimes for various embedded boxes, e.g. https://bitbucket.org/tkoskine/embedded-arm-gnat-rts/src . BUT they are not usable: 1) there is -- quite deliberately -- not one targeting conventional userland linux 2) none of them support exception handling, which wouldn't be a problem except that ALL BOUNDS CHECKS ARE EXCEPTIONTRONIC ☟︎
asciilifeform yet again, for 3rd time in 2 yrs, attempted and failed to build a 'zero foot print runtime' for gnat -- to abolish the 3MB of liquishit it shits into every executable. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
The20YearIRCloud: 0.5 was fantastically generous at the time (It was like $50 if memory serves me right), but like i said, and I could find the chat log, i was (And continue to deal with) idiots on a daily basis
The20YearIRCloud: Dang, that's a bit generous, don't you think?
The20YearIRCloud: for property tenants of my company, 2-3 years ago, gave out a bunch of posters to ungreatful tenants whom you offered 0.5btc to
BingoBoingo: Hey, if the Gods raid your playing god patch with a bunch of voracious bunny rabbit mobs, then you've gardened delicious rabbit
BingoBoingo: And smite the ones you spot, learn from the experience and bring a better game next season. Very much a resistance of the medium sorta thing.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743697 << I suspected it was the appeal of contest in attempting to carve out a local space where one tries to out-God the Gods ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is what's gonna be the new response to police "arrest" : you DID first send a PM right ?
mircea_popescu: the expectation on the part of the usg drones that usg gets a private first pass for being usg is something else.
asciilifeform: dunno, small bananistan with a surprisingly successful history of expelling usg ?
asciilifeform: hey if usg ~to this day~ has gitmo, inside a cuba, for 0 rent, why not costanta
mircea_popescu: ftr : romanian "protests" entirely usg fabrication, https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2017/11/275899.htm etc. the way this gets implemented in practice is that local usg-alligned orcs "leverage their network". which in romania is a few kids with "network skillz", ie two bit "blackhatwordld" injuns/niggers.
ben_vulpes: could also be a "pound sand" replacement: "eh, filter spam"
asciilifeform: eh to quote mircea_popescu , who the hell cares what happens at a gox
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743827 << a damn, i missed the big moment ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: tractor, while just as real as oxplow, is nevertheless no kind of oxplow ; sewing machine, while just as sewy as sewing by hand, nevertheless not a mechanical sewing hand ; airplane, while just as aflight as bird, nevertheless not mechanical wing flapper. and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 16:30 asciilifeform: 'dreamer' culture is somewhat like a school of pilotage absent the landing.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743816 << this is actually a pretty great point. yes, exactly. ☝︎
asciilifeform: on some far-away planet, there is a standard sane os and language standards cover linking.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-27 20:40 asciilifeform: currently asciilifeform is barfing over the fact that adacore's gnat is happy to build static 'independent library' .a while gpl gcc's gnat barfs
asciilifeform: but it's a trivially discoverable fact, for people who actually bothered with the subj beyond chitchat.
