adlai: good
thing you didn't answer, might have been implicated in a coup
punkman: so I just got a call from
the Congo, didn't have enough
time
to pick it up. wonder what kind of scam it was
ben_vulpes: (although who knows - maybe i'm a moron for
trying

mircea_popescu: "The most important of
these has been
the
tolerance of C compilers
to errors in

the history above, C evolved from
typeless languages. It did not suddenly appear
to its earliest users and developers as an entirely new language with its own rules; instead we continually had
to adapt existing programs as
the language developed, and make allowance for an existing body of code. (Later,

mircea_popescu: took me like five minutes
to figure out wtf happened with
that one hour gap.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
those fucking idiots. just how hard is it
to mine a coupla guard
towers.
adlai: well
the us plays
the role of global policeman, and suicide-by-cop is not punishable (except for maybe retiring
the individual cop early, since he won't make a good public face for
the department)
mircea_popescu: but nuland's ukraine coup failed so spectacularly it's contending with
the iran contra affair.
mircea_popescu: adlai from what i've heard,
they want
to form a
Third Foundation.
this is getting even
thicker
than asimov << lolz.
the part where
they carefully avoid
the why of it, and how exactly
the old one died is also
the part
that ensures
they stay irrelevant.

adlai: if you have
those abilities, why not put
them
to use building something useful?
whaack: adlai: Haha I guess I should say I've mentally
told myself I'm going
to do
the
task - no work has been put in yet. But I just want
to build my own bitcoin
tool. I probably won't wind up using it but I want
to prove
to myself
that I'm able
to do it.
whaack: adlai: ah yes I've read
this, I like it a lot. I'm currently
taking
the
task of building my own hardware and writing my own
transaction signing
tool. It's difficult
though and pushing
the limits of my feeble brain

☟︎ whaack: devoid of interests in profit or political affairs, but merely
the ideals of bitcoin
whaack: Joi was saying
that yeah he wanted an organization
that worked on hardware wallets
adlai: from what i've heard,
they want
to form a
Third Foundation.
this is getting even
thicker
than asimov
adlai guesses
that
the burden of relevance proving is on
the messenger
whaack: does
the MIT btc conference fall in
the category of shit you guys give interest
to?
cazalla: when we use
to wag school
to go
to
the beach, we'd cut across
the
tarmac at
that airport
to get
to
the
train station quicker (they put up fencing after 9/11, you could basically wander across it prior
to
that)
cazalla: Pierre_Rochard, i
think
they're going
to put it on display at
the airport museum or something
cazalla: everyone will be
talking about for weeks, months, probably even years
to come
mircea_popescu: i doubt
they generally comprehend
there is such a
thing.
mircea_popescu: that's
the main epic device : he crossed
the state line!111
mircea_popescu: half
the usian literature (which is 2/3s cinematographic) revolves around
the shock and horror of... BORDERS!111
mircea_popescu: average usian has never
traveled, never read a book in a foreign language, never fucked a woman he didn't know etc. his ideas of "isis" are necessarily a reflection of his own pen, nothing else.
mircea_popescu: isis
the symbol, not isis
the real item it purports
to stand for.
mircea_popescu: also no cc debt, not caring about college, no idea what a quarterpounder with cheese is, completely dissinterested in police sirens in
traffic etc.
mircea_popescu: i
think "isis" is really
the only available symbol
to describe chtulhu,
the borg, entity q and so forth.
trinque: I've had a highlight on deedbot- in
the meantime
trinque: sometime
this weekend I'm going
to make some improvements
to
the
thing, including uploading via cronjob
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah, I've been running
the uploader by hand; I'm around
to do so
mircea_popescu: those dudes find
themselves in
the position where atrocities
that were just fine suddenly are viewed as atrocities by a cohesive group.
mircea_popescu: really, bitcoin is quite aptly "a microscope". specifically, in
this case :
the sort of bs idiocy we deride used
to pass for "business" and "entrepreneurship" as a regular
thing. sop.
cazalla: wow, some
tumblr pics
that aren't 320x480 for once
cazalla: mircea_popescu, nfi, just saw an image posted a few hours ago, assumed it was from
today, guess not
mircea_popescu: well if you're going
to write asm you'd better know
the opcodes.
cazalla: i
take it noone here got an invite
to evoorhee's wedding lol
mircea_popescu: "Thompson was faced with a hardware environment cramped and spartan even for
the
time:
the DEC PDP-7 on which he started in 1968 was a machine with 8K 18-bit words of memory and no software useful
to him."
cazalla: bah,
that pdf
to
text converter butchered a bunch of paragraphs
mircea_popescu: when you peer into
the b-a,
the b-a peers back into you.
adlai: "Immediately I noticed
the feeling of a fishing line pulling me screen-first
throughout
the day."
