chetty: now I wonder how many copies of
that are floating about
assbot: Asylum:
The Novel: Chet, Zeno: Amazon.com: Books
mircea_popescu: "The result? A formatting language
too wimpy even for a novel." <<<
this is pure nonsense. i had my novel on
the web just fine in plain html.
mircea_popescu: i believe
the proper femsociety word for one who does not care about stupid shit is rapist.
JorgePasada: Bitcoin is a whole-assed implementation of skin in
the game...
pete_dushenski: the architect knows more
than
the inspector ever could
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck ever read whatever software
the dns letters run ? who ever wrote a patch for it ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, re
the entire extension and so forth : everything
that works on
the internet and in
the world works on "our" principles.
assbot: #bitcoin-assets | You cannot stop
the clouds by
the building of a ship.
PeterL: but I want everything
to fit in
the models I already have !!1!
mircea_popescu: PeterL
the reason i said "for
the
theoretically minded" was exactly
this
tongue in cheek point. "take your broken models and
try make sense of
the world whydontcha!"
PeterL: would you consider chemistry literature open or closed? I guess it is similar idea,
to put stuff in it has
to be vetted by experts
mircea_popescu re-reads, notices he misspelled guns as huns, wonders why
the fuck has he not realised
this before.
mircea_popescu: PeterL look at
the discussion about al schwartz's failed measurements.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is necessarily so. because godel is a cult.
JorgePasada: asciilifeform: exactly, it's in
the network of people &
the chain of
transactions and everything
that's brought us
to
this point.
mircea_popescu: code works slowly, you spend a life and in
the end it's all a waste.
mircea_popescu: PeterL huns are open for anyone
to
take, and kill
themselves with.
JorgePasada: PeterL: Anyone can fork it, not anyone can do
the backlog of proof of work
to 'take'
things
though.
PeterL: so
therefore it is open for anybody
to
take
mircea_popescu: i hear gavin is planning
to fork bitcoin and make his own version.
PeterL: well, with code,
they could fork it and make
their own version
mircea_popescu: that safadean fellow can get in
the wot. but otherwise, most people can
try.
mircea_popescu: and i did happen
to have
the finest bitches in
the place, buncha losers.
mircea_popescu: yes, anyone can read it. i went
to a swinger's club yest, anyone could look at my bitches.
PeterL: and anybody can get into
the WoT
mircea_popescu: suppose ninjashogun wants
to push a patch for deedbot. or, whatever,
the cardano.
PeterL: so far,
to me, it looks open source
mircea_popescu: yeah hacking
the supernintendo is actually still part of
training hackers afaik.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, for
the
theoretically minded : would you say
the b-a software paradigm is open source or closed source ?
mircea_popescu: they use exaclty a biological implementation of personal sovereignity
to build open but not
too open systems
that survive well in
the world.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, living
things seem a little more advanced
than our computers on
this exact path
mircea_popescu: this is, at least in my view, why personal sovereignity is not avoidable on
the mid or long
term.
mircea_popescu: as stupid as
the man in charge can be,
the benefits often outpace
the damage.
this was discussed here re stalin
PeterL: sort of
the complete opposite of open source?
PeterL: Oh, my computer can't get chrome, in VM Ubuntu
the chrome says it can't get
the latest flash
JorgePasada: PeterL: I believe
that all versions of chrome do
this automatically
PeterL: I don't feel like I need flash enough
to get a whole new browser
PeterL: JorgePasada: do
they have such
things?
PeterL: but old enough
that it can't upgrade
to newer versions of MacOS
JorgePasada: PeterL: Couldn't you just download a custom browser package
that has a version of flash bundled with it
then?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> personally, i have always used only
the most basic and essential subset of pgp std. functionality. <<
PeterL: just another way
to introduce more dependencies
PeterL: asciilifeform: re flash: my daughter's school uses some online math games, requires flash. I
tried
to log her in, can't because most recent flash is no longer supporting linux or pre-'08 macOS
pete_dushenski: i suppose you could use a subkey for gribble and keep
the master airgapped
pete_dushenski: so i guess
the question is whether keeping a key online for gribble authing is *that* much of a risk
ben_vulpes: you can also pull your master key out of
the keyring and stash it safely somewhere, pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: noob question about pgp keys: is
there any sense in airgapping for signing only?

JorgePasada: Technically 31c3 is
the confrerence I guess
assbot: CCC - 31c3 (@31c3) on
Twitter
mod6: *nod* ok,
thanks mp
mircea_popescu: appreciate my "in
the end it's unclear" instead. it's damned good :D
mircea_popescu: course
then russia was
trying
to join california in
the warsaw pact, and a bunch of
topless aggitator chicks kept fucking
the pot,
JorgePasada: Anyone going
to CCC
this year? I'm
thinking about making
the
trip
mircea_popescu: these piled up, eventually
the us collapsed of it,
took
them
twenty years
to regroup, but meanwhile lost alaska and california.
mircea_popescu: at some point in
the cold war,
the united states president was a
totally inept ninkompoop, principally remembered for having
taken his shoes off in
the un council.
this guy had an oversized military and inept economic policies
that stalled
the country. his fellow americans didn't
think much of him, kept making little mistakes.
mod6: well, i guess
there isn't anything I can do now, other
than sign it again with 512 ://
