mircea_popescu: as in "of course i could but i wonder how this woman is trying to trick me" ?
asciilifeform: them against each other, while trying to portray themselves as super-achieving entrepreneurial mavericks who can't be pinned down to a mere set of marketable skills.'
asciilifeform: 'I have had a chance to observe quite a few companies in the U.S. from the inside, and have spotted a certain constancy in the staffing profile. At the top, there is a group of highly compensated senior lunch-eaters. They tend to spend all of their time pleasing each other in various ways, big and small. They often hold advanced degrees in disciplines such as Technical Schmoozing and Relativistic Bean-counting. They are obsess
Adlai: yeh, rule by the patrons. those who can afford to patronize, as opposed to - serfs
asciilifeform: still built as monolithic kernel with rootfs-in-ram, deliberately
asciilifeform: this one isn't as neat as it sounds. i thought BR_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS will add with fw_xxxxx on the target rootfs but seems like no. these will have to be added as packages
mircea_popescu: something the imbecillians (is it ok if i refer to people born in the 80s as the imbecillians, given the poor results discussed yest ? generation y seems improper) all forgot.
asciilifeform: let it run as own user.
asciilifeform: it is rather like pointing to a grain of sand in a turd, and advocating shit as a construction material because 'that grain is solid'
Chillum: I sort of want to make a portable rasp-pi that automatically roots and then secures wifi routers, as a public service
asciilifeform: i will suggest that all subsequent patches for buildroot per se, be published as diffs from the one i posted last night
ben_vulpes: Chillum: it bears mentioning that i use the same rendering stack for irc as i do for programming
asciilifeform: almost as good as apple v apple
decimation: "In short, there are two companies calling themselves “Arduino” at the moment. One, Arduino LLC was founded by [Massimo Banzi], [David Cuartielles], [David Mellis], [Tom Igoe] and [Gianluca Martino] in 2009, runs the website arduino.cc, and has been directing and releasing the code that makes it all work. Most of these folks had been working together on what would become the Arduino project since as early as 2005."
asciilifeform: bitcoind probably ought to run as other than root.
asciilifeform: ('nope' as in, i did not patch anything remotely close to there)
asciilifeform: this is almost linux as it was when it was a joy
asciilifeform: (great for eating as part of a balanced diet with linuxbios)
asciilifeform: 2) study the package system. the dependencies of bitcoind would ideally be added as packages
asciilifeform: as in, a box that isn't used for anything else.
mircea_popescu: bitcoind as ubut module
asciilifeform: one little warning - 'buildroot' is dumb as a rock, you will have to 'make clean all' just about every time
trinque: asciilifeform: I tried the crossdev compile of bitcoind and got as far as boost hell regarding bzip2
decimation: the best approximation one can get as a civilian is to purchase FCC "class B" devices
asciilifeform: 'heavy metal case' is not the same as 'tempest shield' regardless of appearances
asciilifeform: someone, iirc al schwartz, described his sister as 'could suckstart a harley'
mircea_popescu: as in bad lay
asciilifeform: (as in harley)
asciilifeform: as in, there's a piraña pit trap door
mircea_popescu: but when 2025 rolls around and late 30s/early 40s dumb fat fucks inquire as to why we're fucking teenagers
trinque: mircea_popescu: the simple instructions bit is as much mental illness as it is literacy
mircea_popescu: jurov eu understood as slovakia is particularly useful.
mircea_popescu: (either side's claim as to the criminality of the other being unresolvable, since no rule of law, since "secret proceedings")
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, the need is there. as long as you clearly advertise what exactly you do and then stick to it exactly... it'll have custom.
TomServo: And could be inspired to seek out colo pricing.. would this be of interest as a starting point?
mircea_popescu: yes derps, "money" as in usd is a social construct. money as in bitcoin is not a social construct.
mircea_popescu: "It’s absolutely essential for buying stuff in shops. A currency that can’t be used to buy a newspaper on the street is not going to be seen as a real currency by the man on that street." << again and again with this nonsense. what the "man on the street" sees or doesn't see, accepts or hates, whatever the fuck is entirely unimportant.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so random ssd question for you. aren't the reads destructive just as writes are ? how come not if not ?
nubbins`: it's like 1.5x as much ip as last time
mircea_popescu: i doubt poettering for isntance as much as saw a whiff of a whiff of that.
mircea_popescu: it's just that moot subcultures at the end of their rope spew singlemindedness as a natural fermentation product.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: normally it is presented as 'poor ru schmucks haven't learned how to be correctly rich yet'
asciilifeform: electric (as in chair) typewriter
nubbins`: well ya know. luxury branded as such is precisely marketed towards the aspirational
asciilifeform: mats: if you treat 'rowhammering' as a statistical phenomenon, instead of allowing the enemy to induce arbitrary memory access patterns on the machine, it is considerably easier to deal with.
asciilifeform: as they shouldn't be.
nubbins`: as they discharge tear gas canisters point-blank into faces :0
asciilifeform: i don't even see 'rowhammer' as a security item, as such. just an indicator of 'this system is built on snot and bubblegum'
asciilifeform: 'this' being the certain doom of pogo as off-the-shelf machine? yes, it is necessary to do something. main boojum is the ram-poverty of most available hardware in that weight class.
mircea_popescu: nothing good popped as of yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as you can probably guess, i won't be making it just yet.
Chillum: mircea_popescu: they hire me as a developer, not a consultant
Chillum: using massive arrays of cloud computers to reprice books as fast as possible compared to the market
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: old buggered mechanical satas aren't quite as nice, but certainly usable. the thing definitely sources sufficient amps for them
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and as you keep writing ?
mircea_popescu: ftr, for the new souls : torrents were originally dismissed on the strength of how bad the shit / code was originally, as "this'll never work"
mircea_popescu: dude. i been despising their local accent and doing the proper y = ll thing, but im totally going to say it as bishinghurst
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ ftr, since im here my brain has decided to multivocalize all j's as h's too, for good measure. and as you logged in it just proposed "hosed" as a possible interpretation of your user.
ben_vulpes: someday we'll be tops for any string starting with turd as well
asciilifeform: Chillum: pretty much everyone reading this has fiber to the grounds and a crate of small computers, just as happenstance
Chillum: which is why software as a service is a better option
nubbins`: mircea_popescu as seen in my latest submit: "Follow these instructions at your own peril, and upon risk of divestment, dismemberment, or death."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dunno how best implemented, but he raises a good point we're prone to neglect : as exposure increases, which it necessarily will,
mircea_popescu: Chillum the problem is we know ssl to be intentionally misimplemented. as you say, on layers.
Chillum: yes I am building a full node on a raspberry pi 2 to be used as a hot wallet
mircea_popescu: i don't think that's a supported usecase as of yet ? mebbe i'm behind here.
mircea_popescu: get it to any other standard, you'll do as bad as all the schmucks on windows
mircea_popescu: otherwise, you're just passing (to yourself, at least) groupthink as oppinions.
mircea_popescu: apparently wikipedia is keenly aware it exists primarily as an advertising source. just... not for the fucking chinese aaaite ?
felipelalli: I thought assbot also worked as a gribble backup?
Chillum: we were talking about sound as a source of data
pete_dushenski: Are we really going to swallow this bad egg, America? For that is what Cadbury has wrought. A bad egg. And today will for ever be known as a bad day.
pete_dushenski: Monday 12 January 2015 will go down in confectionery history as a bad day. A hurtful day.
jurov: yes, if you insist using lamp and nothin else as your audio
Chillum: Say I start creating variants on a 6hz tone and create keys with that tool. I may just make the same key as someone else who used it near a lamp
jurov: or, as i have a window to busy street, i used that
jurov: but it's something you can control, such as making suitable noise while the addy is generated
asciilifeform: 'It had an airport, railway and dungeons. Most of Pingfang was burnt by the Japanese to destroy evidence but the incinerator where the remains of victims were burnt remains and is still in use as part of a factory.' -- pediwikil0l
asciilifeform: and wouldn't it be in a sense counterproductive? as in, burglars will often themselves glue film to windows before breaking them, to silence the sound
mircea_popescu: gives it immense plasticity as it were
asciilifeform: i meant, not merely the seal, but the trivially bent box (as shown in film linked earlier)
asciilifeform: mass produced seals, sold commercially, are approximately as useful as the lock on a typical home door
asciilifeform: by vienna convention (1815 iirc) diplo couriers are permitted to treat any attack upon their cargo or person as an act of war
asciilifeform: diplomatic mail has carried items as large as entire tanks
Adlai: #b-a poll: who has found machine learning worth learning, as a human who learns machines their work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: heat layers << as birds do ?
asciilifeform: try hiding that as a 'bird.'
asciilifeform: for anything worthwhile as payload
Adlai: as in 'hacker'?
asciilifeform: purpose is as much to drive the enemy mad faster, as to preserve any cargo
mircea_popescu: especially as it provides injunctive and declaratory relief + damages.
decimation: "Sec. 8. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), a governmental entity may not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability. (b) A governmental entity may substantially burden a person's exercise of religion only if the governmental entity demonstrates that application of the burden to the person: (1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest;
decimation: as if any of these fuckheads would voluntarily step foot in a non-maritime state
mircea_popescu: interestingly enough, yelp's failure to matter in indiana is ascribed as a fault of indiana.
mircea_popescu: *I have desysopped him. This is not even a close call. He's so far over the line of the conduct - both onsite and offsite - that I expect from admins that nothing short of a full and complete apology for his behavior and a retraction of his comments will do. Additionally, he will have to stand for re-election if he dares. As for me, I would never vote for someone with this kind of behavior in his history."
mircea_popescu: and as a result, mega huge shitfest, because how can he say things like feminazi and pms
decimation: lol http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/28/us/politics/indiana-law-denounced-as-invitation-to-discriminate-against-gays.html?_r=0 < this article could have been in krokodil
mircea_popescu: one of the items in there was at some point that after [[Melina Perez|Melina]] ''(pictured)'' stripped [[Torrie Wilson]] in a bra & panties match at '''[[The Great American Bash (2005)]]''', referee [[Candice Michelle]] stripped Melina and herself as well?
nubbins`: just think of it as apt-get with weird terminology
mircea_popescu: strikes me as exactly the sort of apple-esque innovationitivity.
