thestringpuller: i guess for "noscript users" it can precompile
to SVG's and
they can just stare at it and imagine it being interactive
decimation: mircea_popescu: people who
think (the phrase in
the us is 'change
the system from
the inside') are generally beaten down and otherwised smashed by
the system
thestringpuller: the graph is interactive via js, dumping
to img will
take
that interactivity away. but if
that's "best" yea you could run it and dump out raw svg elements
that aren't interactive.
mircea_popescu: the system changes for no man and even less
than
that for mere
thoughts.
mircea_popescu: god help
the man
that a)
thinks ; b) gets a result and c) expects
the system
to CHANGE
to accomodate HIS result.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
thestringpuller prolly best
to imgmagik it into a png or jp << Actually used imagemagick 20 minutes ago assembling a document package for qntra post in progress
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
thinking
too much is fine, for as long as it's mere spinning, and never productive.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller prolly best

Vexual: GAMMPool spec are a little
thin, what do you actually wanna do?
mircea_popescu: coderwill but more productive for
that purpose
to read
teh logs.
mircea_popescu: for clearly it will not be
the real camp, but merely a spare one.
coderwill: also, sorry, didn't mean
to just come across like i was looking for work (although
this page looks great,
thanks). also was just asking for conversational purposes if any new stuff is happening.
mircea_popescu: once we're in
the camp, i wish
to be in
the room with alf.
coderwill: mircea_popescu:
thanks for
the link, must not be any jobs since it 404'd, hehe
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if
that scrawny harpy is what a fat paycheck buys in
the us
coderwill: i was reading about qntra, btw,
that sounds really cool - i like
the idea behind it. definitely would love
to submit some material, it's going
to
take me a while
to read 6 months of
the logs
though. :)
decimation: asciilifeform: what about
the dream of a persistent global namespace?
decimation: assuming
the programmer properly cleared
the old keys
decimation: well, if ip multicast were functional
that would be ideal
decimation: yeah but you would want a block cipher
that could
tolerate lost packets
decimation: you would want enough of a protocol
to identify 'possible
traffic'
decimation: it struck me
that you could probably use one of
those edgerouter lites
to make a cheap version
decimation: also,
today I was
thinking about your rsa-signed-udp-packets
thingy
decimation: yeah you would just need a little reprogramming
to change
the serial output/input state machines
decimation: ah interesting, one can reprogram
the fpga?
decimation: I wouldn't mind having a device
that interfaces
to arbitrary serial ports at reasonable rates
decimation: do you know
the max data rate one can continuously suck off
the spi?
decimation: one would have
to write software
to craft
the correct binary
turd
mircea_popescu: <decimation> why would some four star usg general spend
time
to send 300 emails
to some lebanese groupie chick? << i wrote like a billion lines in here. why not ?
decimation: the little sim-card connector
thingy on
the left
decimation: is
that a flash card? can you boot off
that?
decimation: asciilifeform: why do you need jtag?
to blow
the fuses?
decimation: that once
they are not in
the job any more
they realize
they don't have nearly as many friends as
they
thought
they did.
The smarter ones do know
this. And
that's why so many[?] hang onto power. "
☟︎☟︎ decimation: then I heard
this podcast:
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/02/glenn_reynolds.html << "Guest: It's funny--one of my friends, who has been a long-term, upper level bureaucrat in Washington said
to me his favorite phenomenon
to see is
these people coming
through
these usually politically-appointed jobs and, he says:
They
think everybody loves
them. And
then
they leave
the job and
they realize
that everybody just loved
the job. And
☟︎☟︎ decimation: why would some four star usg general spend
time
to send 300 emails
to some lebanese groupie chick?
decimation: "Nor has anyone fully explained why Allen, while busy overseeing
the war in Afghanistan, exchanged a blizzard of correspondence with Kelley — between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of e-mails, according
to some senior defense officials. Other officials have said
that figure includes many duplicate notes and exaggerates
the extent of
their communications, adding
that
there were only about 300
total e-mails."
assbot: Jill Kelley e-mails depict a striving
Tampa socialite and a smitten military brass -

adlai: this necessitates
trusting
them, even if indirectly
adlai: (this would also be more profitable
than other exchanges...)
