mircea_popescu: easiest
thing in
the world is a mistake.
the fucking cold war was won not by any other means
than... mistakes.
mircea_popescu: big bad is dumb as rocks, on its own. has nfi what all
the
things mean.
mircea_popescu: gotta understand
that any big bad only exists as a work of fiction, otherwise is simply a collection of men. gotta give
those men ways out, so
that "mysterious" and "inexplicable"
things happen
mod6: pete_dushenski: ah, yah, overlooked
the flag *grumble*
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform so ancient
that you can't setpref
to SHA512?
pete_dushenski wonders why mod6 and asciilifeform signed
the
tithe3 with SHA1...
mircea_popescu: fwiw, asylum, which i
typeset myself, was printed as a pdf.
the house ran a large web press, did my run in like
three hours.
chetty: adobe reps were very adept at sabatoge back in
the w3c days
chetty: adobe is one of
the pillars of evil
mircea_popescu: dude. i question it even makes sense
to have a good programming language right back at ya!
mircea_popescu: otherwise,
the problem is not nearly as hard as all
that.
mircea_popescu: you know, while
this may well be a pn complete problem in
the general case,
mircea_popescu: i
tell you. fixed-form is an instrument for
talking with
the braindamaged.
mircea_popescu: nobody perceived a need for pdf back before sept 1993 did
they ?
mircea_popescu: you pump out
the
text,
they figure out how
to display it ?
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, because
the audience is demented and can't be
trusted ?
mircea_popescu: keeping idiots poor and powerless is
the only sound purpose of government.
mircea_popescu: then
those idiots become a group large enough
to drive fashions.
mircea_popescu: governments have actual money
to waste, and
they do on hiring idiots.
mircea_popescu: the reason for it is contained in
the declaration's last paragraphs.
mircea_popescu: well, you gotta remember, a
thing made is always a platform for further
things.

mod6: <+asciilifeform> gotta sign, so we 'all hang
together or separately' (as, i
think, were
the words of
the americans.) << As
true
today as it was for Benjamin Franklin at
the signing of
the Declaration of Independence in 1776
jurov: ;;later
tell Adlai you're in
punkman: adlai
tried posting
to mail list, but you don't have his key yet
assbot: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512
Title: BITCOIN DECLARATION O - Pastebin.com
punkman: Adlai, gotta wait for key
to reach jurov
Adlai: they're both
the same overall protocol, just a serialization formats and signature algorithms
Adlai: that
took way
too fucking long and is just as [in]secure as using a privkey >_<
punkman: auth with bc,
then changekey?
Adlai: punkman: ugh, it's sending me an encrypted otp, but responds
to eauth with "Error: You have not registered a GPG key.
Try using bcauth instead, or register a GPG key first."
punkman: adlai, echangekey should work I
think, what error does it give you?
Adlai: how do i add a gpg identity
to my gribble account? i'm already registered with a bitcoin address, and gribble responds
to eregister and echangekey with "Error: Username already registered.
Try a different username."
punkman: yeah
the gingerbeer wasn't bad either
cazalla: punkman, prefer
the gingerbeer and sarsparilla
Adlai: gribble | Error: Username already registered.
Try a different username. << fucker
cazalla: punkman, he drinks fosters in his youtube videos and is under
the impression
that makes him an honorary australia
punkman: any objections
to punkbot changing name
to "notary"?
mircea_popescu: incomprehensible
the void powering
these...
things, whatever
they are. what was he doing before,
talking
to a bottle of draino about how he's bald in spirit, just like
the genie guy ?
cazalla: this might be
the first day since qntra started
that i did not post.. nothing of interest
today
mircea_popescu: wait.
this dumb schmuck is
talking
to someone who isn't satoshi about how his fambly jesus christ
Adlai: (the author of
the altcoinpress article)
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2014 22:35:52; mircea_popescu: "Thank you for
this clarification Mr. Nakamoto. It has been an honor
to be labeled by my friends as "Satoshi's Drunk Uncle" and it's a moniker I'll wear proudly until
the day I retire from Crypto.
The Goldcoin (GLD) developers
truly admire your work and strive
to continue improving upon its design as a
tribute
to your unparallelled genius. Your admirer and relative in spirit, MicroGuy."
Adlai has
to wait at least a week
though, his qntry needs him
Adlai: so
this is a fairly important avenue
to explore
Adlai: for all i know, my current parameters could be
totally overfit
to
the quirks of
two btcfiat marketplaces, or worse,
the whole algorithm could be overfit
to bitcoin's crazyness and may be
totally worthless elsewhere
mircea_popescu: omg kako stop sabotaging yourself, you're ready darling! pop
that cherry!
Adlai: but running scalpl on something other
than btcfiat has been on
the back burner for a long
time, in part due
to not wanting
to
touch any glitzy forex gambler-traps
Adlai: to assuage
that look of
terminal shock in your eyes:
there's no real rush, i have an endless list of other
turds
to polish
