Chillum: I know. You accept bids from everyone at any
time. You get
the amount of ad-time relative
to
the size of what you paid
to
the whole
Chillum: one of
the great
things about bitcoin services is
that accounts are not strictly needed. For example you could send a request
to a service without any authentication, it could respond with a price and address
mircea_popescu: you ever see
that film, wtf was it called. "GET SOME FUCKING MONEY"
mircea_popescu: if you could be
trusted
to choose parents correctly doom wouldn't be upon us.
mircea_popescu: the sorts of parents you'd choose are
the problem in
the firsat place.
Chillum: so refund bids
to losers may work, or
they could apply
the credit
to another ad
Chillum: but you would need a deposit
to make sure bids are real
mircea_popescu: Chillum specify bitmap and
time interval. goes
to highest bidder. like adsense
trinque: mircea_popescu: indeed;
that job was a shitshow
Chillum: it could sell specific
time slots and
the bidding could happen right up until it is chosen,
then
the losing bids sent back
Chillum: mircea_popescu:
that is an interesting idea. How does bidding work? People just send
their bid,
then what happens when someone outbids
them
Chillum: with an API, at least
that is my goal
mircea_popescu: only vaguely related, i wonder how well a "bid for
this space in bitcoin" display advertising
thing would work.
Chillum: 8x mechanical relays
that can each handle 30 amps 220v
Chillum: because
the chip can do runtime interpreting of code
Chillum: now someone can find a Lua code injection attack on your lamps webserver and use it
to sniff your home network
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you did. i parse rather
than compile, admittedly.
Chillum: mircea_popescu:
there is a youtube video of a guy making a wifi controllable lamp
mircea_popescu: create a corp
to market interruptors with a standard apache.
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:16:59; Chillum: but if you ever wanted
to add a webserver
to your lamp,
this is
the device
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: actually farting sarin gas and spitting bullets at your enemies would be your best bet. << Greatest challenge is storing it in
the colon without absorbing it.
Chillum: I know I am not
thorough enough
to use C
mircea_popescu: uments"
that his way of life is just great
the way it is, it is a pretty good sign
that you let him set
the agenda once he realized
that his way of life was under
threat. Since you have nothing
to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain
to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware
that you have been
taken for a ride befo
mircea_popescu: nly make
them miserable and hate
their lives. People are pretty good at detecting
that
this is a likely outcome of
thinking, and it
takes conscious effort
to brace yourself and get
through such experiences. Most people are not willing even
to /listen/
to arguments or information
that could
threaten
their comfortable view of
their own existence, much less
think about it, so when you cannot answer a C programmer's "arg
mircea_popescu: "The core problem is
that C programmers
think
they can get away with doing much less
than
the Common Lisp programmer causes
the computer
to do. But
this is actually wrong. Getting C programmers
to understand
that
they cause
the computer
to do less
than minimum is intractable.
They would not /use/ C if
they understood
this point, so if you actually cause
them
to understand it in
the course of a discussion, you will o
Chillum: that is why
they are so ugly
Chillum: and I use vim
to make my pages
Chillum: I once made a "boss detector" with a raspberry pi.
The bosses cell phone sent out wifi pings constantly,
this
told me if he was in wifi range by
turning on a red light
Chillum: it has a 2ms wake-up
time so it can be in low power sleep mode and just check every 10 seconds
Chillum: my raspberry pi gets 9 hours from a small battery,
the ESP8266 with a low power gps receiver will run off a small battery for days
mats: you know
there are war driving communities
that have likely already mapped your entire region, right
Chillum: (anything electical can
technically be detected)
Chillum: in fact it sends nothing so it is very hard
to detect
Chillum: there is nothing illegal about listening
to radio
transmission on public bands
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:16:42; Chillum: mats: I am going
to hook it
to a serial gps chip and make a
tiny super low power war walker
whaack: well I
try
to identify and it says I'm not registered
mircea_popescu: whaack why would nickserv drop an account ? i never heard of
this.
whaack: Is
there a way
to prevent NickServ from dropping my account? It says I'm not registered now
Chillum: If you ever want
to include a scripting language in an embedded device but don't have a lot of resources
to spare,
that is what lua was made for
Chillum: the old version was C only and
that was great, now
they have a lua interpreter which makes handling network connections so much easier
Chillum: indeed. Its impressive features include its
tiny price,
tiny size, and
tiny power usage(even if it is over 300ma)
Chillum: ya, just reading what
the website says
mircea_popescu: Chillum something's amiss, actually.
the +25dBm needs
to output >320 mW. your
thing can't eat 300mW peak and also output 320. but anyway, usual commercial puffery.
Chillum: and
that is
to buy one, I am sure
there are bulk discounts
Chillum: the esp-07 version is
the small one with more memory and gpios and external antenna port
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:05:18; ascii_field: funkenstein_: if you know
the organism in question, link him
to my answer.
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:04:58; Chillum: I just got an ESP8266, a $4 chip
that has a microcontroller
that can run either C or Lua with 512kb memory 8GPIOs and a wifi card with a high level interface. All
the size of a SD card and running off 300ma(peak) at 3.3v
Chillum: particularly when
they were in
town
Chillum: it must be a cultural
thing
Chillum: but I will say even in
the poor areas people were pretty well dressed
mircea_popescu: everyone wears
the same
thing and calls it sopmething else.
trinque: that building's
too sturdy for detroit
Adlai: the child was clearly adopted from inner-city parents who couldn't afford
to raise it
trinque: Chillum: kid in
the pink jumpsuit, clearly
Chillum: "one of
these guys is not like
the others..."
mircea_popescu: all fine ideas
that never work. and in any case : i was discussing gender not sex.
Chillum: we could hold
the war in a really inconvenient location so
that nobody shows up
Chillum: we could send women
to war and
the guys stay home
Adlai: the disadvantage of having a
threader is
that it saves newbies
the valuable educational work of
thinking while
they read
mircea_popescu: seems improbable for anyone
to manage
to ever break
this cycle.
mircea_popescu: yes, war is about how
the women will be left, and
they'll reform society into an imbecillic construction
that'll require
the next war.
