asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the day one of these ~mentions where he got the idea~ i will probably have to fly to the office on my pig.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ah superneat.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski wouldn't go as far as watched, but it was immensely popular and i am culturally aware.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mno. FUCK running other people's binaries.

assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 13:10:44; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes, i ended it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i fucking wrote this
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 13:33:33; mircea_popescu: and if it can't drive a 10,000 x 5,000 pixel array at reasonable frame rate << how did you get the numbers asciilifeform ? for instance, shouldn't it be 16:9 ? so then why not 16000 : 9000 ? 8000:4500 ?
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 13:44:58; mircea_popescu: it does not need to serve any practical function other than, allowing people so willing to set the bozo bit on the idiot club.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1274437 << if 'it does not need to serve any practical function', then mircea_popescu is in luck! i already have this system! it is even a lisp machine! >>>>> http://www.loper-os.org/?p=405 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 17:06:01; ascii_field: something that, were it to exist, would let #b-a folks set the bozo bit on the rest of the so-called linux komyooniti
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: that's not my call

trinque: maybe anton_osika wants an honest way to earn back his 3 BTC, lol
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 therealbitcoin www points out, correctly, that certain patches (e.g., asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.patch) are considered experimental; but asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.patch is pretty much mandatory - node will not sync without it, afaik.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 00:59:09; mircea_popescu: the real question is why the fuck would she want to go back.

gernika: ascii_field: strange to hear - as my memory of my experience reading it sometime in junior high school was that of complete enthrallment. But then again - who is a 13 year old to judge?
shinohai: !up ascii_field
gernika: ascii_field: Ah. 1984 had been out for almost 10 years by that point. Perhaps it had not yet had an impact either.
ascii_field: phf: http://www.turborotfl.com/en/news/3497/How_to_make_a_AK-47_from_a_shovel << more relevant classic

BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Would it really be accurate to describe the things as computers?
BingoBoingo: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: mircea_popescu was right, you can instantly smell usg pheromone because it invariably forces the exact same retardation EVERY TIME
phf: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: ^ mircea_popescu had a good piece on it
phf: anton_osika thread reminds me of thomas jefferson arguing for debt relief while heavily indebted, he also uses "this is best for the people" argument, with the main difference that the debt question was at the time open, where's what osika is arguing against is the core idea of gpg contracts. the point of the thread has been fully answered in gpg contracts article and with a poetic take in hanbot's story, both make the underlying uncompromi ☟︎
thestringpuller: ascii_field: challenge accepted
thestringpuller: ascii_field: why not "steal" clean room
BingoBoingo: !up ascii_field
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> need a clean room and full-time staff to make use of the output. << Cleanroom is the easy part. Staff and actually packaging are far harder
trinque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOhlb_t0QbQ << interesting interview with Putin; as an American I found it an interesting peek into the mind of the man

trinque: !up ascii_field
trinque: ascii_field: also we're down to 100mn for a lisp CPU now?
trinque: ascii_field: I found two fabs that will do small production runs, probably ones of which you're already aware

ascii_field: anton_osika: i cannot help you even ~if~ i wanted to.
asciilifeform: !up anton_osika
ascii_field: trinque: my understanding is that mircea_popescu would like a linux that is analogous to what we did with therealbitcoin. where the tree is frozen, all arguably-superfluous things are jettisoned, and any further changes must come from wot folk. ☟︎
trinque: ascii_field: yeah, that is the rub; you have to have all modules built and an initrd that tries to load them all
ascii_field: shinohai: this is not what mircea_popescu was asking for
ascii_field: ~i~ can. trinque apparently can. mircea_popescu iirc was not able to. and hanbot also did not. ☟︎
shinohai: ascii_field: A distribution specifically for use with realbitcoin with no unnecessary fluff
trinque: !up ascii_field
trinque: ascii_field | kakobrekla: mircea_popescu's implication was that it ought to be a sane continuation of what gentoo once was (a linux for literate folks to use) << danielpbarron was able to produce something with my script

assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 04:54:44; ben_vulpes: if it boots emacs, i'm in.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 04:54:13; mircea_popescu: there's going to have to be a bisection and it's hard work, of the "do not bother me for three days" sort.

assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 04:52:47; mircea_popescu: there's gotta be a complete bitcoin distro. kernel and all.

trinque: !down anton_osika
trinque: anton_osika: I think those here are tired of the pleading; I didn't voice you for that. And no, we do not vote on mircea_popescu's actions.
anton_osika: Funkenstein_ wrote a nice line above.
trinque: !up anton_osika
trinque: anton_osika: that is not what that word means
shinohai: !up anton_osika
shinohai: Also, if the anton_osika guy reads these logs, please note there is no such word in the English language as "unprobabilistically "
funkenstein_: the case of anton_osika reminds me of the post-resleeving identification ceremony from the takeshi kovacs novels.
HeySteve: hey, thanks funkenstein_
punkman: mircea_popescu: Title IV are just the ones the gov will loan you money to attend
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: childbearing seems unappealing to me
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> there's gotta be a complete bitcoin distro. kernel and all. << What, rotor stopped making enough Linux?
