mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> he posts a
ton of extremely ambitious ideas i'd love
to see him come
through on one of
them << you have
to understand
this is now,
thanks
to moldbug et all, an internet pose.
decimation: nasa et.al. spend money on usg
think
tanks
to
try
to come up with a protocol
that will magically switch between store-and-forward and low-latency as
the channel permits
decimation: asciilifeform: have you read some of
the research under
the heading "delay
tolerant networking"
funkenstein_: i
think you have a point. seems like a really good abstract
thinker but sometimes you want a dumb network
BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_> what do you
think of Sergio's idea is
that really possible? << Serigo is great at inventing problems. So good
that many of his suggested fixes are still bigger problems as in
this case
funkenstein_: he posts a

them
funkenstein_: what do you

cazalla: i swear if and when bitcoin hits astronomical heights, imma start
the chimp ufc
mircea_popescu: would have never probably happened if phys antrhopologist person didn't read and go "dude,
that's
the other one!"
BingoBoingo: Oh, so you associated chimp with
the harmless species
that just lez's out all
the
time.
mircea_popescu: you good folk apparently
think of
the robust chimp,
the OTHER species of pan
mircea_popescu: you see, when i see chimp i
think of bonobos. which... whatever, you could eat one raw.
mircea_popescu: btw, i finally found
the source of
that debate we had earlier as
to how powerful a chimp is etc.

to celebrate if anybody at all gets
to spend it
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron>
trinque, he didn't earn it; some uncle died and left it
to him for
the purpose of funding open source << When someone seems
this committed
to a
troll job you can't
take
them at face value
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> he almost donated 100k USD
to OpenBSD and gave it
to freebsd instead <<
That part seems
to have been
totally just a
troll hob
mircea_popescu: so i'm going
to rewrite
tlp's short story with
the druggie in a moment.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: impersonated... <<
the real one will presumably say something. ergo impostor, if impostor, is doing precisely what real one wishes.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many
times alf's been impersonated as ascii_field so far
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 19:51:07; ascii_field: may I live
to see all
these valley fuckheads impoverished << optimist. i expect
to have my skull used by
them as ashtray, rather
than vice-versa
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 19:47:05; danielpbarron:
tried
to get him
to explain his position in here, but even IRC is on his hate list for being
too old
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ you probably should get
those various links fixed.
funkenstein_: me
too :) 100k blocks reached
today, reward is 10 LOG per block
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 19:45:29; danielpbarron: he almost donated 100k USD

funkenstein_: mircea_popescu, big stack of logs for you. I keep
them dry until you
tell me where you want
them.

trinque: Adlai |
that's no way
to run an automated system :P <<
that's how I *start* running any automated system I make
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 19:18:07; davout: question mainly being: can some random derp
take already notarized deeds, and clog
the pipes with
them, because i assume deedbot will listen privately
to deeds being submitted, as long as
they're signed with a proper key amirite
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 19:20:51;
trinque: imo might be best
to just handle
that with negrating abusers
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 18:41:11;
trinque: soon as I find a moment for sanding
trinque: reminds me
that
the mongols had a slur
to refer
to city-dwellers
ascii_field: trinque: see old book, 'the human zoo', for a more complete version of
this hypothesis
trinque: yeah
that's interesting; it's a sort of degenerate state of a very healthy urge
to have a pissing match
trinque: and mostly without knowing
they are
trinque: ascii_field | as in, picture a
town with no decent place
to have a footrace << starving for a real challenge; I
think so
davout: if you replace
the stock one it'll keep
the fan running
thinking it's over heating
davout: danielpbarron: iirc imacs have special disks with apple-specific
temperature sensors or w/e
danielpbarron: other
than
that
they appear
to work fine. xfce on openbsd is a nice fit with
the apple style
danielpbarron: i'm just now realizing
that one looks
tampered with --
the hard drive might have been removed by previous owner
ascii_field: ( 1) is for boxes
that need
the vendor's
turdware, naturally. can skip if not. )
danielpbarron: two out of
two i've looked at have bad disks; one doesn't
think it even has a hard drive anymore
danielpbarron: so apparently
the weak point in
the old iMacs was
the hard drive
ascii_field: so instead of actually racing, folks start
to show off
their strength by competing who can walk normally for
the longest
time with a knapsack full of crap
ascii_field: as in, picture a
town with no decent place
to have a footrace (too many hills? swamp? use imagination)
ascii_field: or mircea_popescu's 'sprezzatura' - for
that matter
ascii_field: (which in my own mental habit i usually
think of as 'peacocking', because it is an even more obvious animal
to illustrate
the concept with)
ascii_field: because "social equality" is more important
than computer security or something << reminds, of course, of:
trinque: given
that, ogre or no, my mind will still hum battle songs of an army
that does not yet exist
ascii_field: trinque:
the hope can only be about outliving
the enemy
trinque: ascii_field: from a perspective it's entirely irrational
to have any hope at all; after all, one dies at
the end.
ascii_field: a still largely-intact giant, still walking around and smashing
things
ascii_field: possibly i ought
to explain. point being
that folks are vastly underestimating strength of
the enemy
ascii_field: may I live
to see all
these valley fuckheads impoverished << optimist. i expect
to have my skull used by
them as ashtray, rather
than vice-versa
☟︎ danielpbarron: trinque, he didn't earn it; some uncle died and left it
to him for
the purpose of funding open source
trinque: scares me
the kind of poorly
tuned brains running around with fat stacks of USD
trinque: I guess he's
trying
to be cute?
trinque: may I live
to see all
these valley fuckheads impoverished
danielpbarron: tried
to get him
to explain his position in here, but even IRC is on his hate list for being

☟︎ trinque: having an opinionated ass at
the
top is a feature
danielpbarron: because "social equality" is more important
than computer security or something
danielpbarron: he almost donated 100k USD
to OpenBSD and gave it
to freebsd instead
☟︎ danielpbarron: the guy apparently liked OpenBSD until he learned about
Theo
danielpbarron: found it from
those articles bingo linked me
to yesterday
trinque: is
that a markov
tweetbot?
trinque: was going
to ask Adlai why he
thought so, but.. vanished!

☟︎ Adlai: last i checked, i'm
the guy saying
that
the way mircea_popescu specified deedbot is silly
davout: for every automatic
thing,
there's a computer doing it manually :D
trinque: well, when you guys start paying me for
this, I'll feel worse about it
Adlai originally wrote 'no way
to build',
then choose 'run' intentionally
trinque: Adlai |
that's no way
to run an automated system :P <<
that's how I *start* running any automated system I make
