Adlai desperately hopes that '21' are trying to commoditize asic mining, rather than just another mining ktulu ☟︎☟︎
Adlai: "Killed buffer" << even the lispiest abstractions leak
gabriel_laddel: And I'm off for nicotine and a walk. Toodles.
gabriel_laddel: Perhaps I'll have the chance to clean up the CL interface at some point.
gabriel_laddel: I currently edit english text in Climacs sometimes
Adlai is rapidly becoming the archetypical smug[common]lispweenie
Adlai: sure, one of my big struggles lately is pushing myself to read slime source in the hope of contributing patches, rather than bemoaning that the bugs lurk in elisp and leaving it at that ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: and there is money to be made by exploiting the comprehensibility advantage
gabriel_laddel: Adlai: In any case, Emacs works just fine and is sufficently lispy without dropping the Von N. arch.
Adlai: this is a workable approach, it just has higher capex demands (as opposed to 'all at once')
gabriel_laddel: Adlai: that is correct, my mistake.
Adlai: no, he wants to fix everything from the bottom up
gabriel_laddel: Adlai: Ascii wants to fix everything all at once. I understand his position but don't see how to accomplish it.
gabriel_laddel: right now I'm writing up a thing so that anyone can finish it off, in case I run into alphabet soup or w/e
gabriel_laddel: Adlai: currently pestering bezzle lords to pay my bills so I can finish it off ☟︎
Adlai: gabriel_laddel: what's the 'status' of your project?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: it seems to me that arguing with e.g., ascii as to if you can make linux less terrible is by and large useless sans the loot (useful technical tidbits) he drops occasionally. If you'd like to work on such a thing I can set you on the only sane path that I'm aware of, with justification as to why you'd do this instead of else.
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2015 03:00:06; gabriel_laddel: I've actually done very little development for this dirtro. Most of my time has been spent finding perfect little individual peices and assembling them. Out of the box it has:
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2015 00:35:29; gabriel_laddel: Eh, perhaps I'm strange, but these things don't tickle me in the right places. Mountains of coke? Fun, surely, but it gets boring after a while...
gabriel_laddel: trinque: regarding "linux sucks but could be better" see the thread here http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2015#1036490 ☝︎

assbot: Loper OS » Thumbs Down for Clojure ... ( http://bit.ly/1AojvBc )
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: "what is the lisp concept and how is hickey crapping on it?" << the lisp concept is: "a crystalline pyramid of comprehensible mutually-interlocking concepts", see Thumbs Down for Clojure http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42 The parens (i.e., syntactical correspondence with ast) so far as I can tell are inescapable, but incidental. They are simply the most obvious product of the philosophy "sophistication blosso
ben_vulpes: Adlai: more along the lines of piggybacking messages on the btc txn relay network.
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 04:45:02; mod6: asciilifeform: it is certainly /strange/ that this problem occurs right after the last checkpoint in our version.
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 04:44:18; *: asciilifeform still suspects that: 168001 was a stealthfork
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049865 << see the impossible coincidence of http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049868 . ☝︎☝︎
Adlai: bitcoin-over-gossipd is rather useless without miners in the wot
ben_vulpes: but i suppose that's what gossipd's for
ben_vulpes: i'd actually like to see relay rules opened up
Adlai: fwiw, sending a relay node your transactions is no guarantee that a miner will see them
ben_vulpes: i kind of have to assume that any hardware i touch these days is wholly compromised
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049856 << another reason why 0.5.3 needs getblock functionality. i can't trust anything out there, and the best way to handle bitcoins safely is to be able to canvass a mess of bitcoinds and make some decisions about how to squirt txns into the network ☝︎
Adlai: if you're going that far, a better approach would be inserting something that reports wallet.dat+password to a remote server, which waits until there's something worth stealing. one day, "all the bitcoins are gone"
ben_vulpes: surely that's a paranoid jump too far.
ben_vulpes: that filesystem code does whatever it wants to your balance, coins etc. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: knowing c it's probably just like hell breaks loose in the operating system
ben_vulpes: so basically pwn the vm layer, pwn txn validation possibly?
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049802 << this is amazing ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 03:39:21; mod6: i don't even own or use a M$ machine, so it has to be the paste sites.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049735 << pastebin *specifically*. i've seen this again and again, eventually diddled something in my environment to keep it from happening. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: thick ass logs today
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 03:17:11; decimation: you need to add --lock-never to make it work, because I am using a shitty vm-mounted filesystem that doesn't support hardlinks
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049682 << hah i ran into this as well, thought it was due to mounting the working dir in from the host machine ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 21:30:54; trinque: I'm thinking programmable light switch with ethernet port
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-03-2015#1049268 << cardano-like thinger over serial someday, one hopes ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 02:58:53; mod6: ben addded those, not exactly sure what they do. lol.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049633 << oh just extreme naivte in thinking things like the bail on exit flag would be set the same way on other platforms ☝︎
ben_vulpes: some mixture of all the above
ben_vulpes: sour grapes re youth wasted on the young
ben_vulpes: i've yet to get to read macros in my studies
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 01:56:57; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still fucking hate that piece. the sheer mendacity of rich hickey in saying 'simplicity matters' while crapping all over lisp concept
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-03-2015#1048149 << what is the lisp concept and how is hickey crapping on it? ☝︎
[]bot: Bet placed: 1.0006 BTC for Yes on "BTC to top $700 before 1st July" http://bitbet.us/bet/1128/ Odds: 16(Y):84(N) by coin, 16(Y):84(N) by weight. Total bet: 58.95180426 BTC. Current weight: 96,470.
fluffypony: "apparently" would be a more appropriate term
fluffypony: doesn't matter, the term is still used incorrectly
Adlai: the allegation here is that the auctions were theater
fluffypony: as a reporter you don't want to claim something as fact when it isn't, but the USMS holding 3 auctions is accepted enough that it doesn't have to be "alleged" :-P ☟︎
fluffypony: cazalla: the comment about the incorrect use of "allegedly" is right, though
[]bot: Bet placed: 15.4 BTC for No on "BTC to top $700 before 1st July" http://bitbet.us/bet/1128/ Odds: 14(Y):86(N) by coin, 15(Y):85(N) by weight. Total bet: 57.95120426 BTC. Current weight: 96,565.
mircea_popescu: !up tsoulus
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6: im glad we're all trying this now. << kinda the advantage of doing stuff here. << true enough :]
mircea_popescu: hey, half the us casualties, gotta provide them somehow.
mircea_popescu: the only thing that's useful in urban warfare is hiding.
mircea_popescu: nonsense. what are you going to do, spray and pray ?
Adlai: full auto is very useful in urban "kill everything" warfare. no country likes admitting that's what they're training for, but they train for this too.
mircea_popescu: "but brother, why do you try to rescue cost savings ? you know it;s in its nature to sting you". "yes. but it is in my nature to be stingy."
fluffypony: I don't know enough about firearm development to speak to the second
Adlai maintains that both of these are INcreasing, but neither has anything to do with the AR15 family
mircea_popescu: well honestly the second too, but unrelatedly.
mircea_popescu agrees that in practical terms, the useful full auto is rarer and rarer
mircea_popescu: it comes to us from a time of emplaced machine guns and stuff
Adlai: on the contrary, there's a lot less picking off enemies hundreds of meters away, and a lot more 'clearing rooms'
mircea_popescu agrees that in practical terms, the useful full auto is a shrinking space.
Adlai: there are situations where "spraying" is exactly what you want, but there are better tools for that than 'assault rifle'
Adlai: you can drain a 30 round magazine in ~10 seconds and get most of your shots on target, and all of them in the right direction; or drain it in ~3 seconds, overheat your barrel, and kill half your friends
mircea_popescu: with batallion size deployments rolling auto is much more effectual than "selective" whatever, because people are weird. sorta like how women living together synch periods, soldiers end up all looking in the same spot.
Adlai: a bit of training and you can give MUCH better cover with *aimed* selective fire
mircea_popescu: they're not that few, if you're actually fighting. as opposed to what regular armies regularly do.
Adlai: "wasach" = army slang, from arabic 'weight' - ie, extra weight which doesn't help you, but you carry it around to look tough
Adlai: there are so few situations where it's remotely helpful to have an assault rifle in full auto, afaict the risk of accidentally using full auto in any other situation make it "wasach" but nothing more
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 05:19:15; Adlai: since lds has refused to comment, wouldn't a better title be "Winner Of 27K Bitcoins Allegedly Purchased At USMS Auction Alleged" ?
mircea_popescu: trilema's been getting a shitton of traffic past week, maybe you got it on a blink.
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 04:19:56; decimation: asciilifeform: it's not even clear that having full auto ar-15's would be much of an advantage at all
Adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-03-2015#1042552 << /methinks the civilians doth play too much vidya ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 04:39:03; asciilifeform: if anyone has any reason why this is a bad idea, please suggest it
mircea_popescu: decimation: the paragraphs starts with "There are several reasons why calling the OpenSSL configuration routines is advisable." and then fails to name a single reason << the actual reasons are not the point, the statement that "there are reasons" is the point. fashion, no substance. you wanna be with the in crowd, don't you ? be hip, upgrade. there are reasons.
mircea_popescu: also gotta upgrade to latest version
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2015#1049802 << i fail to be surprised. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: mod6: im glad we're all trying this now. << kinda the advantage of doing stuff here.

mircea_popescu: <mod6> decimation: anyway, it totally works fine for me on my aws machine. << hehehe

assbot: What are your opinions on DX12/Vulkan/Mantle? - Graphics Programming and Theory - GameDev.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ah0IIT )
mod6: i think 33 was "-l w"
danielpbarron: and removed "- dl" from the makefile << where is this?
mod6: then going forward, we'll add in more conditions into these things to account for various platforms/configurations
mod6: decimation: i think, in interest of time.. perhaps (with your help/testing) we'll post a patch for the makefile & the auto.sh post release.
