ben_vulpes: asciilifeform has referred to rms doing this with i believe a compiler as well, and i would hear the story. 'cawsmic rayz and shitgnome bitrot' isn'
t the kind of story to scare children into losing sleep over.
pete_dushenski: not a ~real~ recession, those don'
t happen in the biggest bestest firstest americas
assbot: Logged on 28-06-2015 04:49:55; asciilifeform: decimation: i don'
t think that a mathematically-rigorous description of openssl (not to even mention boost and bdb) could be achieved in 10,000 years of sweat
shinohai: Haven'
t read any sci-fi in a while. That will be good.
cazalla: adlai, ah don'
t thank me, i was drunk
mircea_popescu wouldn'
t feel safe fucking kim w/o a coupla wrestler wingmen ready to tag.
assbot: [bitcoin-dev] AT&
T has effectively banned Bitcoin nodes by closing port 8333 via a hidden firewall in the cable box ... (

phf: which wouldn'
t be a problem in a traditional c code, but in case of gnupg half of the code seems to have hidden, side channel concerns, that i just don'
t have yet enough experience in practical crypto to grok
phf: sure, but i did some large scale projects using ffi (including things like modifying arrays on heap from inside c libraries), so i don'
t think it's necessarily dead end. just that gnupg doesn'
t make it easy at all and requires basically full environment scaffolding before you can do anything useful
mod6: i guess i don'
t mean to confuse.. was just thinking about it in the capacity where a stripped down box is being used.
mod6: heheh, my fingers didn'
t want to type what my brain was trying to say. it's a little baked from the sun today at the fair.
mod6: yeah, i don'
t grasp that part fully yet. but it does make sense from genesis up through patches/bitcoin-asciilifeform.4-goodbye-win32.vpatch
mod6: i was mechanically cross checking the output file checksums against the v054-TEST2 bundle and noticed that i didn'
t come out with -verifyall in there. was really wondering for a minute lol.
mod6: which isn'
t the case chronoligicaly
mod6: asciilifeform: qq, I was under the impression that when using press, if I picked something like 'maxint_corrected', it would patch all the way up through that one. but it didn'
t seem to apply the -verifyall patch? or do I misunderstand how its supposed to work?

mircea_popescu: "Alydian Inc., a unit of CoinLab Inc., on Friday filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. bankruptcy court in Seattle. The 10-page court filing didn'
t disclose why Alydian filed for bankruptcy or how it hopes to repay its debts."
mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu: giving inept infantrymen good horses doesn'
t create an elite cavalry regiment, it just creates a lot of injured horses. giving stupid people smart things doesn'
t make them smart. it'll just make a lot of broken smart things."
mircea_popescu: Anything that is more of a soft fork will kick in immediately (as long as it doesn'
t drop pre-fork clients off the network). Anything on the p2p layer (ie. hard forkable) will be kept in the wings until the next fork date (as roughly estimated from block height) and then is enabled.
gernika: asciilifeform - I haven'
t tried it. Running it on an old thinkpad. Got msdos 6.2 working in parallels - but parallels is literally a virus.
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 01:33:36; asciilifeform: on account of how you can'
t really write an engaging yarn about inhabitants of the real thing, as we have it
phf: what isn'
t. at some point freedos was legit in a poc||gtfo kind of way, i.e. "we did it for the lulz", but now it's positioned as the only legitimate way to run dos programs. that you of course purchased from GoG.
gernika: Tried derive.exe on freedos too - doesn'
t work either.
gernika: asciilifeform aha. so that's why comander keen doesn'
t even work.
phf: i don'
t know how much of this concern is driving cause vs. purposes, i.e. real limitations experiences by you vs. building civilization from first principles anathema millenials style.
phf: that's not a problem that i'm facing though, since i don'
t know of diddle diesel engines (i'm sure they are but..)
phf: while china is playing catch up, you get a computing equivalent of wild west with areas where the control simply didn'
t have resources to manifest, as soon as u.s. stops driving chip design, china will start closing up same holes u.s. is in the process of closing up right now
trinque: it at least didn'
t take any fingers last night when I fired it up
mircea_popescu: you conversely can'
t have a trillion worth of cake and ten dollars in cash.
mircea_popescu: you can'
t have a trillion worth of dollars and ten dollar's worth of cake.
ben_vulpes: also, pain! who doesn'
t like honest signals.
trinque: ascii_field: does make me wonder if the thing's something like "and don'
t make us come for the rest of it!"
trinque: and really shouldn'
t the pipe be reimplemented to use dbus?
jurov: and the x popup is spiffy. 'cuz xterminal can'
t be trusted with passwords
mircea_popescu: because at that time it couldn'
t have been that you'd do anything useful.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: only provider in this area is stoopid comcast or AT&
T ascii_field: can'
t wait for the usg yottahash mining farm where you need a signature from hitler to get your tx baked into block
trinque: isn'
t that like these "circuit breakers" at stock exchanges?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and for that matter, DECENT AMERICANS don'
t get sick.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field>
t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don'
t have a tonnage limit!!111' << This they advertise X speed for first Y transfer and after that max tonnage at best effort speed
ascii_field:
t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don'
t have a tonnage limit!!111'
trinque: point is words don'
t mean shit, and the rules are intentionally arbitrary because "fuck you"
mircea_popescu: "unlimited" has for many years meant "enough for your needs if you don'
t need much", which is finbe.
ascii_field: the fraud isn'
t that they won'
t give out free bandwidth, but insist on advertising 'unlimited' while in practice entirely opposite
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 13:37:23; pete_dushenski: e, providing broadband to a small city, mining for bitcoin -- but I really don’

fluffypony: we don'

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller she also doesn'
t matter anymore, used to 5 years ago.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell nanashi_ there isn'
t any remedial for anything. bitcoin payments are entirely the responsibility of the payer. that's what "be your own banker" means.
trinque: well that's understandable isn'
t it? chemicals are dangerous!
ascii_field: basic idea here is an attempted ban on cheap chinese 'we won'
t lift a finger to enforce usg diktat' chipsets
shinohai: Routers aren'

mike_c: well mazeltov and enjoy. they don'

pete_dushenski: doesn'

☟︎ pete_dushenski: "These aren'
t naive amateurs; they are clever hackers who are willfully stealing for their own selfish gain. It’s a small group – 1/100 of a percent of our 59 million customers – but some of them are using as much as 2 terabytes (2,000GB!) of data in a month. I’m not sure what they are doing with it – stealing wireless access for their entire business, powering a small cloud servic
pete_dushenski: y'know i can'

pete_dushenski: it hasn'

shinohai: Good article pete_dushenski I hadn'

trinque: feedparser doesn'
t hand it up as a parameter
trinque: doesn'

punkman: trinque: not uncommon if you don'

tripleslash: At the end of the day, Satoshi isn'
t around to continue to shepherd his project (at least by the satoshi name), so his original vision starts to lose relevance.
tripleslash: I'd bet most that invoke the original vision of satoshi haven'

mircea_popescu: mats isn'
t this how us middle east politics have been playing out since the 50s ?
sexy_saffron: if assbot has a separate WoT from gribble, does that mean it won'

sexy_saffron: I don'
