BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i haven't got 1 surface that wouldn't auger in under that thing, and that includes the mud liquishit that is the 'yard' << Maybe you want have vault so it augers and sinks? Self burying treasure chest!
asciilifeform: i already have one of these.
ben_vulpes: me neither, but i still happily tear up lawns, emplace shitboard sheds
asciilifeform: well i dun own properties, here or there, so it doesn't make much diff to me
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not far off from where i live, a d00d did this, city fined him and made him break it apart
asciilifeform: i haven't got 1 surface that wouldn't auger in under that thing, and that includes the mud liquishit that is the 'yard'
ben_vulpes: i still trek into town, but more for hysterical raisins and camaraderie.
mircea_popescu: i bet deep blue state watches his halo sick skillz.
ben_vulpes: eh, i'll settle for jewing my little brother down over the nsa backdoors in his gaming rigs
ben_vulpes: i did obliquely mention this, yes.
asciilifeform: hm, i must've somehow missed.
mircea_popescu: i thought you were management.
mircea_popescu: lol for new year i dun recall which, took girls in chains to floor -3, poured champagne / fucked them among the scary concrete. was a blast.
ben_vulpes: "i'll take the vault for $pittance, but only if you discount $butthole by $similar_pittance"
ben_vulpes: haw i've been renting the train station's vault for months now
asciilifeform: i imagine they'll be in the 'business' of offering to 'safely safekeep' chumps' bitcoin, soon.
mircea_popescu: i've not been using the much for years now, and can't say i noticed the absence.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, the government gives. but otherwise ?
mircea_popescu: i recall that nonsense.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-30 16:11 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: 'coinbase insurance' post - little story. recently i had occasion to rent a box at a bank (storage of various paperwork for firm.) the contract was a hilarious read. bank only insures a box for up to 25k usd. and specifically excludes damage from robbery, fire, water... virtually anything.
mod6: speaking of wot ratings. i gotta go through and update mine one of these days.
mircea_popescu: i can't even be arsed to take the anglo formalism seriously. A-> field, really ? pshaw.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p i'm only vaguely familar with the matter, but my understanding was that photons are un-existed.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658436 < Agreed. Which is why I pasted the video (which yes, I will strip of its contents and put in blog), because it occurred after CE, and has 1 new, useful calculation. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i dun even have enuff bits in my lulzregister to hold it
Framedragger: i poelaw'd on that link. " Sadly, there is a direct correlation between high IQ and “earning” a PhD in a STEM discipline, which is all too reflective of how white cishet men have designed disciplinary concepts to reinforce their own power structures." (some comment. troll? dunno)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BIP148 nodes will never let it reorg out the BIP148 chain << this is newz. how does node 'never let' ? i'd like to know << YOu don't know how ghettos work!
asciilifeform: BIP148 nodes will never let it reorg out the BIP148 chain << this is newz. how does node 'never let' ? i'd like to know
mircea_popescu: i kinda miss the early ones. remember the punk, what's his name, who thought he was a "crypto innovator" ? or that tv schmuck. or or or
Framedragger: i'll remember to be careful about any pics with gurls, lest asciilifeform deduce me to be scamzor by steel logic
Framedragger: i thought the suddenwealth was from the earlyadoptronium
asciilifeform: and yes i recall that mircea_popescu threw out the domain. dun matter much, even if you buy 1,001 domains ( enriching usg each time, each year ) there is always 1,001st.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea bitcoin faced difficulties.
mircea_popescu: before alf cuts more notches in the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658505 stick : i literally did not bother paying for the domain, for no other reason than because i literally give this much of a shit about domains, and the whole rest of the ustardian crap built atop it. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Awesome. I picked up some conCrete today.
asciilifeform: i bet this is the 'seekrit startup' that made kakobrekla rich
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 16:34 asciilifeform: briefly upstack : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658014 << i tracked down the heathen pit in question, for entomological purposes. the only possibly lulzy bit is that it turns out to be thestringpuller 's new home.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658191 << It's been a while since he's lit up my inbox. Went over the years from promising to sell cookies he wouldn't bake to writing a couple good qntra's under cazalla regime. Then sort just degraded to repeatedly asking questions over plaintext about gardening for plants I don't grow. "tomatoes" but I suspect he was using it as a code word for a plant incompatible with quality sobriety. His late con ☝︎
asciilifeform: not like i'm sitting on this item !1
asciilifeform: as to mircea_popescu's 2nd q, i have nfi !
mircea_popescu: i think they named a crater on moon after them.
mircea_popescu: gee, i wonder why nobody wants to dedicate life to building incidental nuke.
asciilifeform: anyway i'll take mircea_popescu's pessimistic figure for K40.
asciilifeform: i dun yet have a case, incidentally, picked a naturally-found isotope at ~random, to see what'd happen if someone were to 'burn' a kg of it this way
mircea_popescu: (well, twice, really. irl i should have divided by half)
asciilifeform: i suspect that the finesse, if it ever turns up, would be to somehow 'chain react' the induced beta emission.
mircea_popescu: (beta sources are terrible, i will remind the public, because metal emits gamma on contact.)
asciilifeform: all i got is the open lit.
asciilifeform: i've found ~no record of anybody even trying, since 1980s.
mircea_popescu: informal party talk. i've never followed it in much detail.
asciilifeform: the 1 problem i can immediately spot is 'if you can't make it with STOCK equipment, you need $maxint'
mircea_popescu: i know of a coupla who tried. the problem was the measurements not coming out, rather than conspiraci.
asciilifeform: ftr i would love to hear, from actual honest practitioner, why induced-beta is not pursued. ONE good reason.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, seems even at mit, physics lab should be able to produce the micrograms of I or w/e is contemplarted here.
asciilifeform: ( having not laid hands on ONE, i cannot say if any ! )
asciilifeform: i have nfi how to convert between the 2.
asciilifeform: so i'll readily admit that i am working in a poorly defined unit. 100k of tmsr partizan money -- might buy subj. but how many 100k usg funbux buy a phuctor, or FG ?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 03:54 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
mircea_popescu: i dun think so. link ?
mircea_popescu: marconi ? i thought he was poor.
asciilifeform: marconi was interesting case -- i read his patents, and in a few the circuit could not work as drawn, and in fact could not have been drawn by a d00d who understood half of what he was allegedly doing ( vs cribbing )
mircea_popescu: i dunno about all that.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 13:43 phf: i guess that's aligned with the "we moved from SICP to python, because programming is no longer about writing code, but discovering libraries" that's periodically discussed in logs
mircea_popescu: i just didn't realise you meanwhile reverted :D
mircea_popescu: i always suspected the ligo nonsense was why alf had such a low opinion of eg cern cyclotron.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you recall, largest grant by nsf, caltech and mit (of course) spent a decade starting with post-collapse (sept 2001) trying to see how gravity influences laser beams through measuring interference. never saw anything.
mircea_popescu: i did not, because i did not like the reactive nature of it ^ above.
asciilifeform: ftr i tried to give him the uncle al treatment, and actually digest his theory
mircea_popescu: i'm just trying to follow the conversation, clap along.
asciilifeform: and no, i don't have a ready collection of it, because i have ONE motherfucking pair of hands
asciilifeform: i've been seeing this nonsense for months.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i sometimes will click on a bunch of links. i imagine others too.
mircea_popescu: i don't see msec there. i see seconds
mircea_popescu: i dun see the random referer in the snippet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that 100 lines in 5 minute can count as a dos
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah i used NAT in much too general a sense of the word. i meant "rando PCs behind routers etc."
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i have nfi why a bot would accurately self-identify. but whatevers.
Framedragger: i just mean that a box behind NAT won't show up in that !$ssh query
asciilifeform: do i get 100kB of base64 liquishit a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658000 ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: say you were to paste in a jpeg, and on my end i dun have your renderer.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: It will. I've already sold it.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: incidentally i have not forgotten about your shortage of comps, i did get ye olde x61 out of storage, and dusted off, will be posting it this weekend when going to town.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: my laptop's internal charger broke, and I'm sitting here waiting on a charging deck to show up.
asciilifeform: i knew actual, certified bums with blog.
asciilifeform: i've yet to meet a mega-breakthrough that only exists upon this earth as slides in 2-3 frames of some obscure lecture film. but who knows, always a first time.
asciilifeform: i have not watched the film, gabriel_laddel_p . but its existence ~in that form~ does not bode well for the content. but if gabriel_laddel_p wants to write about what he saw -- i'll read..
asciilifeform: i bet if webcam existed when tesla was old an' feeding pigeons -- he would've rambled into a webcam.
gabriel_laddel_p: Also I take it nobody watched the video of what the hasllife author is up to these days I posted to Ben's blog?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 16:20 phf: i don't share the anti-postscript sentiment. i think it's a maxwell's equation of graphics programming. introduces idea of graphics state stack, with operations that happen inside state or in transition between state (e.g. "displace everything that i said so far by n pixels right") . pretty much all the graphics code (including for example opengl) is a variation on what postscript does. and most of the things postscript does simply doesn't make any sen
Framedragger: (i assume web caches older version for now, but web is only preview-mode of the actual thing anyway)
trinque: ah no, I have it
trinque: Framedragger: I dunno what you mean by teh old ratings
Framedragger: trinque: while at it i'll just mention that mine still doesn't have teh old ratings, not that i need them any time soon, just adding to the list. god knows my own list is long :(
mircea_popescu: some have speculated i forgot about that.
mircea_popescu: trinque aaah i c.
asciilifeform: various idiocies, i can't be arsed to catalogue'em all
mircea_popescu: fine, but i find it rather lulzy that apparently i have to worry about "Bitcoin revenue", as if i can't trade fiatola for bitcoin like anyone else ; and that somehow i should be worried while sitting on technology the usg couldn't replicate in spite of trying for a coupla years.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: standard unhappentronic algo -- 'if i strategically omit to mention it, it will unexist'
mircea_popescu: i can't talk about being a pimp on the clear net ? holy shit i wrote the fucking textbook on it ?
mircea_popescu: trinque Sat Oct 7 06:37:43 CST 2084 << say, how do i get unixtime from deedbot time ?
