trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692139 << young trinque was deeply insulted by the chemical spirits that, no matter which he took, never saw a damn thing cept woobly versions of plain old reality. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Set up a bouncer before you get a tumour
mircea_popescu: so get a bouncer maybe ?
BingoBoingo: <mod6> they told us at the time, "Hey, you can be an extra in the movie if you want... it doesn't pay anything, just have to stand there for 12 hours a day..." Fuck that, we were too busy playing grab-ass with the figure-skaters. << What you have to do is speak during a take that is too good to exclude, get your SAG card.
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/08/roger-ver-ified-fork-finally-mines-a-block/ << Qntra - Roger Ver-ified Fork Finally Mines A Block
shinohai: Well almost *6* hours later the tards finally manage to mine a block.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692017 << very much so yes, but I have not figured out how to gentoo a pogo unfortunately. I wasn't aware that there was a published recipe for it but i'll check out the loper OS article on the MyCloud Mini thing ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 19:00 asciilifeform: i have 'p' structured such that all it wants i/o-wise is a 'getbyte' and 'putbyte' that operator can replace with whatever
asciilifeform: all you need is a putbyteuart and getbyteuart
asciilifeform: i dunno how to fit a bignumtron in 100
mircea_popescu: so then 50 for a hash, say 100 for a cipher. seems fair to me.
asciilifeform: and i will note, if a cipher system REQUIRES a MB of source, it is not a cipher system but an overcomplicated practical joke
asciilifeform: currently i also suspect that the whole ecc 'fashion' was instituted specifically to prevent a ffa-style treatment.
asciilifeform: currently i strongly suspect that it is possible to produce a technically valid ecdsa sig that will choke 1 particular ecctron but NOT another particular one.
asciilifeform: interestingly there does not, by all indications, exist anywhere anything like a sane implementation of ecdsa
asciilifeform: which are a fairly heavy chunk of voodoo, i've been slowly chewing through.
mircea_popescu: but yes, prb is an amateurish attempt at a non-compliant bitcoin node.
asciilifeform: it can be wedged apart with a relatively compact crowbar.
asciilifeform: i didn't say it was a bigger woop.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so at most prb goes away for a week.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> expression not so much. readonly is attainable. << Way to make jump seems to be read a book, listen to speakers, interject, keep interjecting until you can swim in conversation
mircea_popescu: anyway, without discussing all the rest of the matter : asciilifeform should a high-S block be included with version <3 that if would pass.
mircea_popescu: p0nziph0ne so what's thje problem with a bunch of tards being slaves ?
mircea_popescu: trinque lulz of all time btw : the whole article was actually inspired by yest dmt discussion. (hence machine elves reference, which is in the field a term of art) ☟︎
p0nziph0ne: mircea_popescu: i am pretty free in what i am doing, i may choose the topics by myself, its a comfortable position because i always look out for optimizations whether its automation or security as a benefit for all, employees, company/customers and of course through automation less workload for me
trinque: mircea_popescu: you latest article demolishes my lingering notion that the grease spot left where a god was killed can be called the same thing as him. or http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594911 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... though i can see what mircea_popescu means. prb would not, iirc, eat a highS block. and several other types that trb happily eats. << PRB will eat high S when in block. Will fail to propagate high S until mined.
p0nziph0ne: asciilifeform: but learning is a doing for me, or i might not get your question yet
mircea_popescu: "Therefore, in that respect let strong drink be abolished in time, And that will cause a great decrease in crime." right in line with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-18#1686100 , bridge over the centuries ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and in today's "best of pantsuit poetry, all glory to ourdemocracy", http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/gems/a-new-temperance-poem-in-memory-of-my-departed-parents
asciilifeform: that is not a DO
p0nziph0ne: i had a steady learning curve
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's he mirroring anyway, a package ?
p0nziph0ne: we are living in a world controlled by a few, to work in a slavery for hunting numbers and papers they call it dollar and euro
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the no static ip thing is starting to be a problem
p0nziph0ne: i read "when you care about privacy have a look at monero" in linux reddit
asciilifeform: a rewind of the softfork nonsense would send prb to pluto
asciilifeform: ... though i can see what mircea_popescu means. prb would not, iirc, eat a highS block. and several other types that trb happily eats.
asciilifeform: this one had a little bonus feature : clock battery
asciilifeform: i also have a port for that other pogo-like thing, whose name escapes me at the present moment, 4 core beast, fiddybux or so
asciilifeform: i suspect the pogos would fetch moar moolah if there were yet a gentoo for it
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ^ what even means to have an 'exchange rate' for a shitcoin where nobody can mine a block ? how do you MOVE it << Comments section is for the lulling about their insufficiency
asciilifeform: iirc he has a crate of pogos also. could sell these as well gentooated.
asciilifeform: ^ what even means to have an 'exchange rate' for a shitcoin where nobody can mine a block ? how do you MOVE it
asciilifeform: costs about what a loaf of bread does
asciilifeform: ( presumably he has a warehouse of such )
asciilifeform: i have a collection of tarballs, and turning'em into a mirror is on the conveyor.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-01 14:18 shinohai: "Bitcoin Cash fork has still not mined a >1mb block and is now 8 blocks behind the Bitcoin blockchain." <<<lmao
mircea_popescu: even today, if i'm trying to reference a girl it's 50% gonna be "you know, that one, with the hair". literally. then the girls have to sort out if i mean jodie foster or that chick we fucked once three months ago.
mircea_popescu: for a few months i had to run and check, but eventually brain was "fuck this shit, im learning it".
mircea_popescu: "usefully" above meant "acquiring a capacity of expression not heretofore had".
mircea_popescu: in a civilised country!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, finding a native hungarian speaker is generally as easy as visiting the closest bordello.
mircea_popescu: what's a toypad ?
mircea_popescu: totally not a case of tiresome old spinsters being ever-so aggressed at nobody giving a shit about their dumb selves.
mircea_popescu passes in loud silence over that case where sharon rachel "dumb whore" osbourne got so pissed off dickinson mocked her "talent" (reality tv) that she got her shithead of a husband to try and sabotage iron maiden's performance.
mircea_popescu: "oh anglotards have no male role models". well i wonder why the fuck that is ? maybe they're not born, yes ? somehow birth proportions changed because tiresome old spinsters say so. totally not because, to pick a random example, that the same trite old spinsters purported to give "bring your daugther to the slaughter" a "golden raspberry" for "worst original song" in 89, before being rescued by iron maiden into topping the ch

phf: dead directors won't have a chance to disappoint, there's a joke there somewhere about ex wives
phf: i saw him in the horrible wolf of wall street and then later in war dogs. both are millennial updates of greater movies, later one being a take on "lord of war". he basically plays the same character, young annoying and smug jew who gets what he wants on chutzpah, until he doesn't.
mod6: he was in a movie 'superbad', among some others.
BingoBoingo: It is a tumor
fromdeedbot: It's not a tumor!
BingoBoingo: Before was a sorta paul newman/tom cruise but with horse face
mircea_popescu: a female horse.
mircea_popescu: honestly i thought madonna was married to a horse.
mod6: he was married to Madonna for a while 'eh?
BingoBoingo: You pick up a lot of vocabulary with "Como se dice"
BingoBoingo: Most spanish speakers will speak a weird spanglish to Gringos, until you make them stop and speak spanish
mod6: but it's generally a weird spanglish mix
BingoBoingo: <mod6> but again, i never get to use it. << Get a lumber yard gig
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is that where they get the slightly aged strippers and do a sort of ... light daytime drama + staged "fights" ? << Yeah, then smackdown's the one they painted blue
mircea_popescu: and tha tschmuck, what's his name. the fat kid, "son of boss" whatever. he's a terrible actor and drags the whole thing down.
mod6: yeah, the madonna scene seems a bit forced or something.
mircea_popescu: even the explanation of what madonna's "like a virgin" means seemed outta place.
mircea_popescu: course it makes anyone attempting to use it orally sound like a pail full of bearing balls, but hey.
mircea_popescu: i think "dick" makes, phonetically, a better huy than cock or anything else. has a nice ring to it.
phf: the translation could be "what the hell. you guys lost it? why did you build so much stuff? break it down no matter what. - no way, why? it's not such a bad work, why break it down?"
mircea_popescu: actually proper english structuring of mat would be a fine exercise for learning either. though more in the phd level of things.
mod6: immersion is definately a good way to learn
mircea_popescu: anyway, portuguese and spanish are the lulziest in this vein. at some party i chatted with this girl for a little, and eventually i asked her why does she have such a thick accent ? "because i'm speaking portuguese".
mod6: I learned german first, and that took me about 6mos to a year when i was 11 or 12. then when i was ~18 i learned spanish in like... well pretty quick, 2-3 mos. its easy.
mircea_popescu: it's like a volume discount package.
mod6: I wish I could learn a lang in six weeks.
mircea_popescu: this happens a lot sadly.
f1maze: mod6: even more related I have a meeting with my new tax accountant next week because I was an idiot and brought cold storage online -- did a couple big trades on GDAX (lost big too) a couple months ago. Now I'm nervous
mod6: related, "a bankrupt gang of pompous horse's asses" : http://trilema.com/2017/again-with-the-money-laundering-bullshit/
f1maze: http://trilema.com/2015/if-you-go-on-a-bitcoin-fork-irrespective-which-scammer-proposes-it-you-will-lose-your-bitcoins/
f1maze: Great, will give it a try
mircea_popescu: https://www.odt.co.nz/opinion/100-years-ago/germany-sinking-hospital-ships << typical lulz. shannonizer engine entirely unchanged in a century.
mircea_popescu: i was a very dangerous child ; pretty much the only defense was making sense.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691632 << i actually did that as a small child. i was trying to see if you can charge a battery by connecting it directly to the outlet :o ☝︎
mircea_popescu: is that where they get the slightly aged strippers and do a sort of ... light daytime drama + staged "fights" ?
mircea_popescu: hm. look at that. a TENTH of the population of chicago.
asciilifeform: nobody marvels why, e.g., french guiana, never grew a culture, for some reason.
mircea_popescu: this is not so much a theory as a fact. they never did.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you had earlier theory where they never actually managed to grow a culture
