asciilifeform: even something as pedestrian as 'valgrind' is laborious for a large turdatronic system.
mircea_popescu: not so. this is like saying "the only way to identify boys from girls is as you're moaning".
mircea_popescu: the wot, incidentally, works on exactly the same premise. one can make any declaration one wishes. it's not believed per se, but that's irrelevant. as time goes by confirmation either mouts or does not.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: good question! answer: packing it in such a way as to guarantee safe shipping would be prohibitively expensive. the man i bought it from, david schmidt (last symbolics employee) refuses to ship his remaining stock, after a multitude of DOAs.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 as in, didn't understand taleb's point ? or as in what ?
decimation: asciilifeform: as in 3M?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> who in his right mind would consider 'apple', for instance, if microshit did not exist << i don't run a windows machine. for me ms might as well not exist. however, i did get apple powered tablet to check out their game marketplace.

mircea_popescu: "you have been raped. i understand this can be frustrationg as this is usually a sign that you are in fact a slut."
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: well, its not hard to beat "hi you have incoming ddos, I understand this can be frustrating as this type of attack is usually a sign that your droplet has been compromised" <<< ahahaha wut ?
undata: as for myself, as many constraints as possible, please.
jurov: kakobrekla ponder this bit of wisdom from naggum: it has been instructive to see how people suddenly grasp that a date is always read and written in ISO 8601 format although the machine actually deals with it as a large integer...
nubbins`: <asciilifeform> he can swear to his gods that he didn't make copies, but what kind of proof could possibly suffice as proof to a skeptic ? <<< probably no more than a few days of torture
asciilifeform: 'A character and its encoding are different concepts. An encoding and its (external) representation are different concepts. An external representation and the numeric values of whatever unit it is made up of are different concepts. By conflating all four concepts into one, Unix has held text processing and computing in general back several decades. This is fairly ironic, since Unix started out as a text proce
asciilifeform: it's as if we were still using teletype
decimation: someone should make a --cccp flag that enables ☭ as the BOM/EOM char for gpg
asciilifeform: he can swear to his gods that he didn't make copies, but what kind of proof could possibly suffice as proof to a skeptic ?
kakobrekla: same as with signing any code.
ben_vulpes: but as i said, clobbering the back-button when reading hyperlinked documents is...
pete_dushenski: i understood los_pantalones as saying that people who "ended up on .derp" were traders, not the actual fucking derps!
kakobrekla: well, its not hard to beat "hi you have incoming ddos, I understand this can be frustrating as this type of attack is usually a sign that your droplet has been compromised"

cazalla: punkman: I read "coinscrum" as "coinscrotum" for a second there <<< you're not the only one
TomServo: asciilifeform: $5k - might as well be $5mil << For a toy, I agree...though they have some 'board only' options that come in the 675-1100 range.
mats_cd03: 13:34:45 — +asciilifeform wonders whether vendor is 'having problems' - considering that sdr is technically banned in usa << hows that? ham operators have had SDR for at least a decade, no mutterings as to illegality afaik
asciilifeform: TomServo: $5k - might as well be $5mil
ben_vulpes: so i've cobbled together a testing stack that builds and boots this build as I mentioned last night. next things that i'd like to do with it is attach it to testnet; and stand up a server non-locally to run these builds.

punkman: "David Byron kicked off all this madness about undetectable guns when he was issued a patent in 1987. Congress even tried to ban this as-of-yet unbuilt gun. That didn't stop Byron from hooking up with investors and starting a company focused on making this "plastic gun" a reality."

Mikayla: Best I see it with my own eyes as opposed to a Youtube video
punkman: I read "coinscrum" as "coinscrotum" for a second there
mircea_popescu: undata obama finished the reorganisation of everthing law enforcement as a homeland security sub.
undata: for starters, we're all high as shit.
mircea_popescu: you're using a meta concept as if it were a thing.
BingoBoingo: Sign a message asserting that passing the balance between the two addresses fuctions as your warrant canary and GPG crypt the message to a few trusted parties that can release the signed doc if the behavior consituting the canary ceases
mircea_popescu: the law can not compel one to lie, and so as long as that statement appears, it's not happened
mircea_popescu: magic numbers are all equal. if 99.999999% of bitcoin were destroyed as you describe, the remainder coupla hundred btc will play the role of twenty million
undata: where the US govt subsidized people buying new cars, as long as they gave their old cars in to be destroyed
mircea_popescu: but you gotta decide which line you're going. inasmuch as it keeps the asshole from getting resources, yes it's better than giving him bitcoin.
asciilifeform: reads as if generated by perl script.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know. I just imagine cinematic you has one as well.
undata: cenk uygur quoted as saying "durr hurr... republicans"
mircea_popescu: so... not as simple as that.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps" << I imagine this scene happening with alf in a tent.

undata: as for the second, *shrug*
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: actual - doubtful << if i ever have to create you as a character, i'll have you watching the special olympics and then mutter to yourself "i wonder why they're trying to act handicaps"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: could've sworn BingoBoingo discussed this. << Not sure if I've discussed the shotglass as pieces variant in chan, but am familiar with it.
asciilifeform: anyway handling merges as such - the physicalities of it - is not hard.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to the current X Y only so-called open source thing going on atm.
asciilifeform: anyway, as far as i understand, the whole point of having actual arses in the driver's chair (ben_vulpes? mod6?) here is to merge patches and maintain the 'True chain'
asciilifeform: define as hash(hash... 'by the neck until dead'
mircea_popescu: anyway. p and q are primes. p-1 and p-1 being necessarily even, will probably have some factors. these factors could just as well be 65537
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu might say
asciilifeform: as i said, let's grunt out what happens if composite.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fixed count on bits << easy as a fart. start with the bits, then shuffle with rng transpositions.

jurov: author sends email with attached patch and signature as similarly-named attachments
jurov: "such as, mpex delisting, impending death, etc."
mircea_popescu: anyway, thgis is more an aesthetic consideratyion. ditching symmetric cyphers is the more substantial thing, and since a reimplementation happenes, might as well add aesthetics.
asciilifeform: only in so far as their crud has made its way into www browsers, etc
asciilifeform: which will frame-shift as the contents get procrusted by the idiot code

mircea_popescu: as in, check out the mothers of current pros, and their mothers, and so on.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: just that, at this point, his key ought to be presumed as belonging to his executioner.
jurov: and you forgot to add satoshi as a cochair</troll>
asciilifeform: as per kakobrekla's stern warning some weeks ago, a full-bore approach (complete with future gallows) for shitgnomes has the flipside of needing to ensure against ending up swinging there by mistake.
mircea_popescu: jurov use it directly to post as a mail list ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah original spec called for keeping all the deeds, as a sort of primitive distributed backup
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as mircea_popescu pointed out, miners have almost nothing to gain - and everything to lose - by posting weaponized code.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as it is, i venture to guess that it's been done, so far, only by folks who live and die by the result, and aren't terribly eager to share live 'weaponized' code (people such as mircea)
TheNewDeal: what about the speculation of it being more than one person? Is that not as accepted?
