mircea_popescu: ^ word. i have seen kids drink these days. a) it's all beer and b) they think slightly buzzed = plastered.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170718/#143 << they're already 'eltsining' to death , with the good old bottle, no fancy dope needed necessarily << Not really, cars are too safe nowadays. With crumple zones it is hard to die as a drunk driver and the other alcoholic deaths take time. Also many of them ain't wired right to properly drink selves to death. Somehow their brains signal "drunk enough" and then they stop, I have no
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-18#1685822 << i'm not sure what happened. i initially misdiagnosed the issue, and lost the state necessary to figure out alternatives. i'm pretty sure though that the configuration parameters got reset (how??) and the bot was happily sitting on a random test channel ☝︎
mircea_popescu: was schwarzy republican or democrat in california ? i forget.
shinohai: It is I, shinohai ....IM FROM TEH FUTURE1111
trinque: nah I meant the segue variation; we're gonna need one of those google AIs nao
mircea_popescu: can i donate so usians take this stuff ?
mircea_popescu: i kinda like the idea tbh.
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
BingoBoingo: i.e. Bezos is on Trenbolone
mircea_popescu: o we're down to "most people know" ? i thought usg shares were firmly at "everyone knows" ?
mircea_popescu: i only did it to get ethereum tokens
BingoBoingo: I dunno must consult WAPO
mircea_popescu: o noes i bought at 1950 should i sell ???
asciilifeform: though i imagine the plan of the pantshits is to cement the 'soft' fork as hard, somehow
asciilifeform: i can already almost smell the shat pants
mircea_popescu: eventually, i expect they will.
floog: BingoBoingo: I'm going to keep paying my bills, i'd rather not get rammed by the USG when it comes after its money. im cool with everything else though
badD00d: I am wondering if you have an estimation as to when this will be and as a second questions (if TRB nodes will be the ONLY non-shit accepting nodes, or if you think there are other groups of people running nodes that will side with your nodes and continue rejecting shit
badD00d: right, and I respect that. I guess I am wondering when you think the majority of hashing power will start agreeing on non-legit shit blocks?
mod6: hehe, i just stumbled across this: http://btcbase.org/log/2013-10-12#349139 and http://btcbase.org/log/2013-10-12#349209 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry ? pooper what you say ?
asciilifeform: ( i.e. when nsa was tightening the bolts , unifying the 'we control the vertical and horizontal' thing )
mircea_popescu: in truth avbout half engineering careers of any brightness started with a 15yo in a junkshop going " i wonder if worth "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh i guess you're the internets sageprobe authority. cuz everything is online and mit keeps churning out experts
floog: hm... did i do it already?
floog: i thought it had more to do with tracking people in your wot, which ive just become barely familiar with. but i only briefly skimmed the V.py implementation
floog: i was reading http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/ which linked to a blog, which linked to trilema
mircea_popescu: some github i'd guess.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have a plan.
asciilifeform: aite, i'ma gzip & upload.
floog: im trying to understand the purpose of V.from the python code it seems like some sort of interpersonal network tool, but that's about as far as i've been able to get
mircea_popescu: i see.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: I could not find an output from Google Calc for: 0*75 = 0*70
mircea_popescu: outbrain eagerly awaits the brainchild of mit, or, to quote, "She does stink. And she should quit. But I don't want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route. Years of rejection and failure until she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry."
shinohai: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/zmvg58/hacker-allegedly-steals-dollar74-million-in-ethereum-with-incredibly-simple-trick <<< This is so hilarious I almost wrote it up ....
mircea_popescu: but at any event -- i do not care what bitcoin client joe reddit "uses". he has no money in the first place ; and even if he had money he has nothing interesting to do with them. sloshing the payola back and forth from one usg pocket to another is scarcely worth wasting paper, let alone bitcoin ledger.
mircea_popescu: in preference of saying "i was a fucktard and i shall not be a fucktard any longer".
mircea_popescu: far as i can tell, people who can't retain employment will whine about it for the next two weeks as if it were a thing, then the date will come, nothing whatsoewver will happebn, and they'll just move on to whining about some other pie in the sky
whaack: It's been "the critical moment for a fork" since I've known about btc
mircea_popescu: i thought wediditreddit was ~weekly eveny anyway, in their own little cesspool.
asciilifeform: nothing observable to ~people~ -- i.e. folx using trb -- yes. to redditus running gavincoin etc - thermonukokalypse
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what you're asking. if i send a bitcoin to someone, no third party can do anything to it.
mircea_popescu: well, "social media". usg's astroturf for its own sheeple. much like you know, the notion that "embargo of russia" or "recapture of mosul -- two weeks starting in 2016", the sort of ideas with no further substance than "i really watch too much tv"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking, at some point really gotta write up the luby-pow thing into a proper algo
user705: the instinctual understanding is that hardfork is obviously bad but the way this new softfork was being sold I guess I got bamboozled a bit
user705: that's why I decided to finally go to the source
user705: I did
asciilifeform: i suspect that it is The Right Thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, i have not since found a better pill, nor afaik has anyone else.
user705: hmm I read a lot of trilemma must've missed that one
mircea_popescu: consider though, how easily it flips on its head. mp recommends blogging, which was fashionable like cameraing was at some point, but no longer. and "you can't film everything stays the same", and "but the noise is distracting" morphs into "but i am afraid my well hidden shortcvomings which nobody can otherwise observe may be exposed" and who's teh anticultural nao.
asciilifeform: i dungetit, people tripped over each other's heads in the hurry to buy cameras for bedroom, toilet, etc
a111: Logged on 2016-01-21 19:49 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when i was a small boy, my elder brother taught me a lesson once:
asciilifeform: anybody recall when i proposed a 'cpu' made 98% by weight of old roms ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record, "oh, and what is the use of storing 500mb when i can calculate this in seconds" : because, dumbass, you might want as we wanted TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE YOUR CALCULATIONS TO.
asciilifeform: yeah i went to look for one the other day and headache
mircea_popescu: "really ? factorial table ?" "no i meant, fanfic about simpson episodes" "ah ok then"
asciilifeform: i suppose we post times-tables next....
mircea_popescu: "we have to prepare for having a child!" "you prepare, bitch, i'm already as erect as im gonna get."
mircea_popescu: whole generation of dorks and dupes whined in unison "COOOOOME .... AAAS YOU ARE!!!!!" and what, i'm supposed to not notice what that was all about ?
mircea_popescu: i am not proposing fault ; but responsibility.
mircea_popescu: no but i shall insist for the rest ofg the day, because not only do i have a whole silo of these things, but, importantly, it is THE PILE not the item that makes the point.
asciilifeform: i thought that was just from smoking too much hookah
asciilifeform: if i didn't know better, i'd think mircea_popescu were an escapee from egypt or usa. in su 'old woman' counted for 0.
asciilifeform: i see 0 smart about 90s. orgy of sofa burn.
asciilifeform: i haven't been to the smartpeopleplanet
mircea_popescu: i'm writing an article about it, but at the gist -- allowing one who is neither productive on their own (ie, as a black box) nor competend to examination any degree of autonomy whatsoever.
asciilifeform: funnily enough, his sentence of damnatio memoriae seems to be finally taking effect -- i've yet to meet the usa-born folx who know who subj was
asciilifeform: i have nfi anybody memorialized badwhores
mircea_popescu: the girl who would say "i can't leave with you, i'm here with my friends", just like the boy that'd vote hillary, just like anyone who reads the fake news media, just like the drones in offices who never propositioned their coworkers for sex in the elevators == pantsuits.
erlehmann: but i don't get the difference at all
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect you're right, at that. because their niggers could never go outta da house without the bling.
BingoBoingo: <erlehmann> i'd bet money that thumbnail handlers on every OS are uniformly garbage << Not all...
erlehmann: i don't need them anway, so why look more for stuff?
erlehmann: i'd bet money that thumbnail handlers on every OS are uniformly garbage
erlehmann: then i stopped looking, as around a third of the thumbnail handlers had obvious issues and this topic bores me already.
erlehmann: also i found this vbscript goodness
erlehmann: and behold, i found a COPY of that CVE, in the source code of atril
erlehmann: and then i was like “other thumbnailers are surely as stupid”
erlehmann: i read about the evince CVE
erlehmann: both concepts i am not too fond of
erlehmann: i have no wish to engage with gnome internals to find out HOW MUCH is uninstalled when you remove its core libraries
erlehmann: oh, i found a typo
asciilifeform: i also got hold of a 'celeron', but that one is running STILL !
mod6: i need to go to that pool party
phf: i have to say cuntoo readers/sounds better than cuntshoo, easier to write, straight to the point, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo : i immediately pictured an 'abstract' dentata logo
asciilifeform: mod6: i gotta clarify, the ~size~ is irrelevant , the bus speed, however, quite relevant.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo cuntoo, evidently. << i think this is a winner.
mircea_popescu: when i was a child, i read a story, well written in the fantastic realist embryonic style. it contained a lamp for making darkness, which struck me then as the pinnacle of antipossible objects.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect they're still there ; unfindable now because we stupidly decided to take google seriously.
asciilifeform: i do wonder where these vanished to
mod6: either way, think I should run the ffa_fact test?
mod6: fwiw, if i just run `gnatmake ffa_fact`, does not error.
mod6: and i already added: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/gnat/bin to my ~/.bashrc
mod6: oh, weird, i installed everything to /usr/local/gnat
asciilifeform: mod6: i suspect that your env path needs tweaking
mircea_popescu: it's like i fell into 1717 somehow.
mircea_popescu: in other sads, i spent most of the day at the local celebration, which included ~1000 horses. everything smells of manure.
