asciilifeform: i'm actually mildly surprised that mircea_popescu doesn't have a 3d printer somewhere
mircea_popescu: but in other news, http://40.media.tumblr.com/887be64336a8812a974cba1fbd93e008/tumblr_nid02tKqmo1rmrwgqo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think modern baseline is close to 'printer in 1930'
diametric: mircea_popescu: i'll let you know if i develop popcorn lung
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they installed one at $rupturefarm a few days ago, i still can't quite figure out why, thing is huge
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is, more or less, a 'glue gun on wheels'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but in either case 3d printer, unless catastrophically miscalibrated, does not ignite
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it does.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wtf, nobody prints pvc, good way to gasenwagen
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the other popular feedstock is pla, which is made of corn exhaust
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no phthalate in abs
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: abs melts and cools, and melts again, etc. this is why 3d printer is even a thing
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 00:31:03; mircea_popescu: it's actually a pretty serious health risk. the plasticisers / other treatments that make the 3d feedstock behave sufficiently like ink are all items of concern in food chain.
mircea_popescu: and in other news, http://41.media.tumblr.com/5d970ed60a915e5f9456ce72372542f8/tumblr_mpzy6dfGsu1rzjdvqo1_1280.jpg
phf: mrottenkolber: unfortunately there seems to be no way to enforce security in git, no way to enable some always_gnupg flag, nor is there a mechanism to add default arguments to some builtin commands.
davout: anyway, the article is obviously a massive piece of shit, maybe you'll be interdasted in http://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2015/12/09/le-fondateur-du-bitcoin-enfin-demasque_4827912_4408996.html
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we have diagnosable tards delivering parcels, they often end up miles away, for no discernible reason
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: parcels from commercial mega-vendors, can go to the house, if they get misplaced insurance pays.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: valuable/unique items from ~humans~, i like to sit at the post
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 20:56:07; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes happens to me all the time! then alf runs off and invents it and i'm like fuuuu wasn't this on trilema!
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-03-2016#1438070 << aaaactually mircea_popescu invented specificity-of-diddling-theorem, i just heavisided it ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is also very painful to the enemy at the business end of the barrel, which is what matters
asciilifeform: as per mircea_popescu's formula.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm not reading a MB of crud i've seen before.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this'd result in gargantuan lengths of duplicated crapola
asciilifeform: but iirc mircea_popescu & hanbot et al disagreed, so v had to be.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i like right pain
asciilifeform: sorta what pete_dushenski was trying to do at one time
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 20:49:10; mircea_popescu: if someone, as oft is the case for say mod6, is trying to make the whole pile of what was said abvout X, they encounter a very present difficulty.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still regretting not doing that ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.mrottenkolber.1:7ae7bb4fe0a9bf41b838dc065d19fceca42142f999e7016fa2cd143e92a2412f
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what can be snipped FOR WHOM.
assbot: Logged on 22-11-2015 06:30:10; mircea_popescu: abstraction is loss. you throw out all sorts of stuff and hope&pray that it wasn't actually needed.

davout: mircea_popescu: maybe use log.b-a.com for that purpose? how would pm tagging work?
mrottenkolber: mircea_popescu: No, sorry, still mumbling aout the why I am in b-a

phf: ben_vulpes: do you know any css libraries that will give me bootstrap style layout techniques, without rest of bootstrap (columns, show/hide conditional based on medium)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think i saw this engine in person
asciilifeform: mega-recommended cartoon, it shows what my mental picture of mircea_popescu looks like
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, best soap

phf: oops, my first ben_vulpes
asciilifeform: mod6: i also liked http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/docs/distilled/adadistilled.pdf
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's story re wanting the jewels reminds me of mine
asciilifeform: interestingly, if it were not for mircea_popescu , i would have never learned this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes i am an arse! with no social graces! but my aspiration is that when i finally go to the woodchipper, folks will remember the pile of dead nazis, and not how i was arse.
asciilifeform: i.e. i might have a crude emulated mircea_popescu living in my head, but not a very well developed hanbot
hanbot: mircea_popescu you know that line gave me pause at the time, but i figured he was entertaining the noisebox so what do i know what he's answering to. all in all though, pretty odd.
asciilifeform finally grasps that mircea_popescu is going through the miserable l0gz
asciilifeform: largely as i know mircea_popescu.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i'm really interested in 'em, dead or alive.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on their corpses, not them as such
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 07:43:11; mircea_popescu: hanbot mod6 maybe an extension to deedbot where people could go !tag <string> and then a collection of clickable tags is published somewhere, each leading to a list of loglines ?
phf: <mircea_popescu> [20:02:06] i am currently of the " ' technology won't be solving human problems ' has been deeply abused and is taking its pound of flesh" school of thought. << i failed to parse, you saying "technology won't solve" has been overused, and there's need to lean in opposite direction?
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu is presently in the 'nothing to be gained from machine-readable encodings of signature meanings' school of thought ?
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 23:50:23; mircea_popescu: for the record, and to revisit that old definition of "public" ie the forum vs "private" ie the gynacaeum, something is public when it has what has been here referred to as a "real" part. ie, when it is possible to make a definition for it that is meaningful for everyone.
jurov: yes, and withdrawing.. and i have to ping mircea_popescu again
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 23:11:33; mircea_popescu: in a different restatement, people "willing to take responsibility for their actions" only has an imaginary part, and no real part ; for the necessary reason that responsibility can not be defined coherently in the real space.

asciilifeform: mod6: mircea_popescu had a good article, iirc, on this. it was the last gasp of the 'my computer is mine and i know how it works' era.
mod6: once fully sync'd pete_dushenski, make a back up your your block chain, and then use -addnode
mod6: pete_dushenski: i didn't see anything crazy in there. runnign with -connect or -addnode?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: how long has it been ?
asciilifeform: mod6: and i probably ought to point out that 'quality random' was baked long ago, ben_vulpes actually took a sample unit home after c3...
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 19:50:15; mircea_popescu: and it is cheaper for this group to put forth an ideology than to do any actual investigative work
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 19:50:15; mircea_popescu: and it is cheaper for this group to put forth an ideology than to do any actual investigative work
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 19:49:37; mircea_popescu: yeah, sure, not a difficult one for as long as one lives on imaginary half mil a year and theorizes away. in practice, it will not be seen, nor has it.
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 19:48:46; mircea_popescu: and, importantly, if it WERE to fail, how would we resolve the problem if it is or it isn't your fault.
mod6: mircea_popescu: formally, a group would have to be constructed to investigate and analyze failures and place blame where beyond required -- if it can be proved beyond any doubt.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, indeed. i mean, i can "swear and affirm" that my code won't fail you, but really, I can't be certain one way or another. too many variables.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh i didn't wake you up, did i
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: since when do we 'most people'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho single-bit scalar pgp is rather like car with sole control being a gas pedal.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> right now, i expect to sign something half-baked that then crashes on some dirigible and gets me excommunicated << this is a very cogent point ; and i feel rather the same way.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thoughts ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: didja read my modest proposal thing ?
asciilifeform: does anyone recall mircea_popescu's original push re: signing code ?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> this patch has 'all signers: mircea_popescu trinque asciilifeform mod6' << i'll note that this signatures you're referencing are strictly for genesis.vpatch
asciilifeform: not ben_vulpes, even ?
asciilifeform: this patch has 'all signers: mircea_popescu trinque asciilifeform mod6'

asciilifeform: http://104.131.72.249/patches/asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected << see, for example.
asciilifeform: yet various clever folks had trouble, e.g., mircea_popescu, hanbot
assbot: Logged on 10-11-2015 22:25:29; mircea_popescu: ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die.
asciilifeform: as in the given example with mircea_popescu and vintage bitcoin
asciilifeform: other than mircea_popescu who actually bothered to lift one hand
