phf: so kind of like "we have this system we don't know how it works but we need to get the data out"
ben_vulpes: didn't someone figure out which pasteshite didn't?
linton_s_dawson: If something ca be done in an easy-to-use manner, it should be done. I'm aware of the "if you're too lazy to learn you don't deserve it" logic but I don't completely agree with it. ☟︎
linton_s_dawson: ascii_field: I figured. It doesn't mean that everyone has to use CLI and plug-and-plays are not needed at all.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: be grateful that you don't have to modular-exponentiate by hand. ☟︎
ascii_field: wanted to buy something that isn't heavy, like battering ram
jurov: so? your eyes don't address every cell either
ascii_field: has problem with anything that doesn't behave well when ram-starved
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 18:11:12; ben_vulpes: remind me why sqlite wouldn't have worked here?
ben_vulpes: remind me why sqlite wouldn't have worked here? ☟︎
ascii_field: none of this is to say that we don't need node authentication & crypto
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 17:32:23; mircea_popescu: rsa, sadly, wouldn't really work for this application
mircea_popescu: rsa, sadly, wouldn't really work for this application ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and no, i don't mean ssl, either.
thestringpuller: And I'm like "WTF. Who the fuck is going to underwrite those contracts when even the trustworthy don't want to deal with it?!?"
thestringpuller: just other day some derp was like "We'll just short the bitcoin market if it doesn't fork the way we want."
thestringpuller: I still don't think there is a cure for dunning kruger syndrome
BingoBoingo: You don't know unless you try it right now
BingoBoingo: Now imagine some other hussein gets famous and vacays in the Bahamas. The tabloids won't be able to drown out all the qntristory being built
BingoBoingo: Can't tell if twitter made tellapart or sucked tellapart off
BingoBoingo: Passport on its own isn't very useful
asciilifeform: https://youtu.be/u3cDRGBBVXA?t=7m6s << moar mega-cleanroom pr0n
mircea_popescu: !rate asciilifeform -9000 you wouldn't download a car!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it won't fit on one cd. or one dvd for that matter.
asciilifeform: and nitrogen ain't brown
asciilifeform: also holy shit i read the title and assumed it was a snarky ru-eng pun but it wasn't
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/QMjMw7F.gifv << that looks like nitrogen, which isn't really much of a health hazard.
mircea_popescu: cross the globe, for every 17 women who were reproducing, passing on genes that are still around today—only one man did the same." <<< no mammal population survives that doesn't do some sort of female herding of this kind.
asciilifeform: and no i don't feel like writing a json parser
BingoBoingo: From mines: "5 minutes after crossing the bridge I got out of my meditative trance and thought for the first time "Where the hell am I?" And then I sort of panicked. There were no signs or people around, just muddy countryside. Having seen all the documentaries and read all the articles about North Korea, I prayed I had not just inadvertently wandered into the Hermit Kingdom. And still the idea was so laughable, I seriously didn't
BingoBoingo: That tree prolly isn't going to make it
pete_dushenski: ""It wasn't like there was a mass death of males. They were there, so what were they doing?" asks Melissa Wilson Sayres, a computational biologist at Arizona State University, and a member of a group of scientists who uncovered this moment in prehistory by analyzing modern genes."
pete_dushenski: also, 'barry bahamas' sounds closer to godawful floral silk t-shirt maker 'tommy bahamas'
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell BingoBoingo q to the n to the t to the r to the a : http://dpaste.com/11VM9F8.txt
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 22:43:02; mod6: so i think jurov has a good question; if we don't drop the turdballs into V, which we're not, and the MANIFEST is the only thing in the 'shit' directory that is pressed out by 'V', where do the tarballs come from?
mod6: so i think jurov has a good question; if we don't drop the turdballs into V, which we're not, and the MANIFEST is the only thing in the 'shit' directory that is pressed out by 'V', where do the tarballs come from? ☟︎
trinque: jurov: the turdballs don't have to be vpatched to get put into directories which were created via vpatch
mircea_popescu: people kept saying in log how they don't wanna sign the crap. and i readily see why.
ascii_field: caveat is that you oughtn't expect cpp tardisms (weird data structures) to port
ascii_field: gcc doesn't give a flying fuck whether c, cpp, fortran, ada, objc
punkman: ascii_field: didn't find any C in this but didn't look hard https://github.com/cforler/Ada-Crypto-Library
ascii_field: but doesn't look compact to me
ascii_field: 'I proceeded to disassemble a Nokia 2110 battery pack, remove the batteries, glue it to a 6-volt lead-acid gel cell battery, and clip the phone onto the resulting giant battery pack (when the battery is many times larger than the phone, you don't clip the battery onto the phone). The result, "Gorba's Return", has a standby time of more than a month.' << very spiffy, also doubles as a blunt weapon or battering ram
punkman: oh wait, didn't we do that last month
mod6: if we don't create a bin dir for it to live in.
mod6: maybe i have amnesia, but I don't remember that one at all.
mod6: <+jurov> why ask me? << don't wanna step on your toes with golf shoes when it comes to btc.yt
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 but this manifest... wouldn't you say it's of the nature of the sigils ? << im not sure i understand this.
mircea_popescu: mod6 but this manifest... wouldn't you say it's of the nature of the sigils ?
mircea_popescu: no, it can't.
ascii_field: in the same sense that other garbage 'doesn't have to be'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field but it doesn't hjave to br.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> http://geektimes.ru/post/268128 << baikal electronics corp. claims $60 mips cpu to compete with 'elbrus' (which i have been unable to buy at any price on this side of the ocean) << they don't practically exist, on either side of ocean. so far all signs point to "elaborate ru.gov self-scam"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-12-2015#1350318 << they don't wait until puberty to start'em on dope, either ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so php has a "ignore repeated location / type of error" dual switch. which inexplicably comes NOT THROWN. because yeah, this is totally logical, if someone doesn't care about one instance you gotta provide them with infinity instances of the same thing. idiots.
mircea_popescu: fine. so ? learning's still learning, whether he does or doesn't.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental argentinian-ness of the human mind, "oh, ok, this is what i get paid, now how could i move down what i gottaq do for it ?" really needs the british imperial "fuck you, you don't eat" as typified by lord newton. ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-12-2015#1350199 << i don't see any overlap ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Just imagine. You take away all the drugs they can handle and they gotta resort to drugs they don't know wtf to do with.
mircea_popescu: bahwhahahahaha. random douche who thinks "waiters" = the douches just like him moving around tgi tuesdays is going to TEACH something, by repeating it over and over. an' thart something ain't gonna be "this fat poor sucker's also a jerk". it's gonna be something else. because he's the not so little train engine that can!
mircea_popescu: you ain't homosexual or a male, sweetie. you're just a girl with too much loose change in her brainbox.
mircea_popescu: no, that's not the issue. the issue is that a dumbass feminist who ate enough so you can't distinguish her wasp bites from man boobs imagines herself a "homosexual male".
mircea_popescu: <davout> DNS resolution doesn't seem to work << what do you see ?
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, on one hand fair is fair and on the other hand not only is it not our cattle, we don't fucking want to herd cattle in the first place. so...
davout: DNS resolution doesn't seem to work
davout: from where i am i still can't see qntra
BingoBoingo: Of course he doesn't

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> thing doesn't appear to need tools << Requires tools in wetware
asciilifeform: thing doesn't appear to need tools
mircea_popescu wonders why amazon doesn't include price in page title
asciilifeform: at any rate even if mircea_popescu doesn't feel like making 60, it would be great if you lot came up with another dozen or so. take some of the load off my poor junkers
mod6: ah, ok. It's not super easy to follow unless you've been keeping up with all the testing. I'm trying to keep the ML clean so people don't get tripped up later.
mircea_popescu: mod6 in fairness 99% of tribulation was because i wasn't using 99997
mod6: hehhe, we went through that once didn't we.
mod6: if you don't tell it where to put them it creates ~/.wot ~/.seals and then drops the patchdir in your pwd.
mod6: +asciilifeform> looks like mod6's script actually fetches it from openssl site << yes. for now, for testing. i haven't actually put up the stuff yet because until yesterday, wasn't finalized, wasn't signed etc.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6 had a set of instructions up for cooking rotor ab initio, but it apparently wasn't in the ml << no. it "works" as far as I and others have tried it -- it relies upon haveing my, alf's, mp's, ben's, and trinque's keys in a ~/.wot dir iirc.
mircea_popescu: i can't choose where to put anything, right ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we don't use automake, it is of the heathens
pete_dushenski also recalls this particular dpaste, even having tried it on fresh os!, and failing for reasons i shamefully didn't have time to delve into further
mircea_popescu: it doesn't appear so.
mircea_popescu: holy shit sha512sum doesn't match either.
mircea_popescu: can't fucking use the thing.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck should i need to ask questions AFTER i read it. how am i better off than one who didn't bother reaqding it, for my effort ? and how's this encouraging people to rtfm already.
assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 18:50:08; mircea_popescu: it's just that at some point some % of gdp went into researching pewter alloys and making dumbass candlesticks and now it doesn't.
asciilifeform: mod6 had a set of instructions up for cooking rotor ab initio, but it apparently wasn't in the ml
mircea_popescu: obviously just dumping it in as a node isn't right, but we gotta have it somehow
asciilifeform: 'cause it isn't specific to trb
asciilifeform: i don't even have my own shooting gallery
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: no but don't let it stop you
asciilifeform: and ben_vulpes also had one (haven't tried) and punkman also (ditto)
jurov: i suspect it isn't the case. let's say in middle ages 95% was the agriculture and 5% the religion ... and now the 5% remains under whatever guises (new age, dianetics, angelology, you name it) just the 95% moved on
mircea_popescu: it's just that at some point some % of gdp went into researching pewter alloys and making dumbass candlesticks and now it doesn't. ☟︎
jurov: i just don't make sense to apply the concept on church. did anyone perish due to church being displaced? no? then wtf we are having such virtual concepts?
mircea_popescu: it may be rare or common in your environment, but the church sure as hell doesn't dare try and impose a tax, but instead fell back on the b-a taxation model.
mircea_popescu: well... the thing about rat poison is that the rats don't need to know about it for it to work.
mircea_popescu: a middle aged woman in queens going "when you die you die. that's it. you don't go anywhere." as overheard in "the conversion" seinfeld episode.
jurov: asciilifeform: isn't it same thing as "disruptive innovation" before derps ran off with the term?
