mod6: well, maybe it is? i see some spikes in the 30000ms range... didn't think it was ever that high.
mircea_popescu: quoth her : "fuck me, i bet i know what happened. power went out for like 10 minutes yest, musta been the water duct froze in the interval then power being back on it maintains the ice cork and it can't make more ice."
mircea_popescu: in other hardpower lulz, chick's icemaker in the fridge stopped working, just this very sad sound and no ice forthcoming. she called the very helpful super (young guy, i suppose he likes her). quoth he : "sometimes when the power goes out you have to reset these. you know, like computers ? power it down overnight and see in the morning."
mats: i've little exposure to game theory beyond iterated tit-for-tat so i found this interesting
lobbes: Well, I'm just trying to stand up a gentoo that'll run trb. Seems like my kernel choice may not be as important as I thought as long as gcc is musltronic?
asciilifeform: ( this was, if anyone recalls, the whole reason i brought in the buildroot thing )
lobbes: Perhaps musl is better option? Fwiw, I posted over on gentoo forumz with my specifics, but am not versed enough to know if the suggestions they gave (e.g. using glibc) will fuck me over building trb or not: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1062324.html?sid=c3ea68da31445ec3e870e5344a443dd3
lobbes: So, I'm midway through my first gentoo adventure. Currently on the compile kernel step (genkernel), but running into funkiness with uClibc errors. My question is: if I abandon uClibc for, say, glibc, will I have issues building trb? (I remember reading in logz that trb doesn't use glibc)
asciilifeform: 'i is for islam..'
ben_vulpes: no i prohibited spending money on it when i saw the cover for the first time months ago
ben_vulpes: t i shit thee not is for trans
ben_vulpes: which tbqh i did not think was possible
ben_vulpes: i had a similar experience recently, asciilifeform
asciilifeform: why am i reading this
mod6: <+asciilifeform> not a big deal, read+write ~= total ProcessBlock time << makes sense. stangely, i overlooked that last patch
mod6: ok, i'll see what I can do about getting those two curves put together today.
asciilifeform: y'know, when trb sits like idiot and waits for bdb to disk i/o.
mod6: I don't see a "stall time".
mircea_popescu: i spent what, 0.3% or so of this year in airplane. had thinkpad with multiple batteries loaded up with films etc by diligent travel assistant / cocksucker. in the overhead tray it stayed.
asciilifeform: me -- ~none. but i also didn't use the stinkpad that year.
mircea_popescu: no idea why i didn't before, but anyway. doesn't seem to have gone down from it either, so all good.
mircea_popescu: yes it is splendid. i linked it.
trinque: I put one of those new AMD chip boxes together today; no moar thinputers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> which i find quite odd. <<
asciilifeform: yeah, i'ma bbl.
mod6: I think I just reached the end of my eatblock test...
asciilifeform: the sad thing is, dh was mostly used historically to test prng. so the 'waste' was, i picture, not seen as problem.
mod6: i'd like to have the discussion with rgb himself and see what the intent was there.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i quite agree
asciilifeform: it'd be easy to patch around. but i wanted to begin with classical dh.
asciilifeform: mod6: i still have 0 idea why author did this.
asciilifeform: ( i am speaking here strictly of rngs which ~do~ eventually converge -- as defined by 100% 'pass' -- at some realistically attainable sample size. )
asciilifeform: which i find quite odd.
mod6: i wonder if that was the one from osx.
asciilifeform: http://qubit.lncc.br/trng << this d00d must have been very frustrated. i wonder if he understood the above.
asciilifeform: mod6: i have 3.31.1 also.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-17 21:04 phf: i used to promote a bar in the same block (tom tom's, closed now), so i used to spend a lot of time in this area
mod6: version listed at the site is 3.31.1, which is the same version I'm using.
mod6: lemme see if I can dig him up
mircea_popescu: i dont have an email!
mod6: I'm using the USB-TTL cable that I bought, separate from the one shipped with the fg. There's a picture of the connection up close in the blog post. It is plugged directly into the computer.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said should prolly talk to guy see what he says
mircea_popescu: i know. and i don't see why they would.
mod6: I'm going to collect one more 1Gb+ from this 1st FG, run the ent & dh again, and then move on to the next one. Results should be done in ~24hrs.
mod6: the offline eatblock of entire chain (or at least what I had before was getting blackholed)
mod6: update: 453K+ blocks, into blk0050... the last one I had.
asciilifeform: i thought ^this ~was~ the visualizer
asciilifeform: trinque's , i think
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good point. what's the cannonical place i forget ?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-17 19:47 phf: but yeah a communal work coffee shop is a space that advertises itself as a coffee shop, but mostly consists of permanently parked people with laptops. i'd say about 7-10 years ago it suddenly was hip to work from coffee shop?
asciilifeform: can you do http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-04#1636960 by 1) taking 2 of these 2) letting'em 'fuck', i.e. mating open ends of the crystals together, and seeing if same output. ☝︎
phf: i'm not even trying with these things, their current "events" page, https://www.1776.vc/events/break-into-web-development/ and https://www.1776.vc/events/digital-transformation-empowering-people-organizations-in-a-changing-world/
ben_vulpes: child abuse i tell you
ben_vulpes: relatedly, i recently saw a pitch for a very 'colorful' animated tv show (?) that would teach children the basics of html/css/js
phf: i've never been to wework, but 1776 is lulzy. last time i was there they had a talk "difficulties facing female CEOs" to a roomful. they also have regular classes like "learning how to program, with ruby on rails" etc.
phf: i used to promote a bar in the same block (tom tom's, closed now), so i used to spend a lot of time in this area ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: i've been there
phf: paces. i worked from here in 2005 or so "building startup"
phf: i think you had office share for a long time (places like Regus), then around early hackernews you had the whole "working from coffee shop" fad. some places started recognizing the fad and catering to that crowd. at some point somebody had an "idea" to update office share image by adding the necessary signaling of the work from coffee shop "culture". actually this coffee shop i'm at (http://www.trystdc.com) predates recent iteration of coworking s
a111: Logged on 2015-09-21 21:39 phf: mostly amusing, at the local coworking i've probably seen all the stereotypes in flesh. girls with social sciences ph.d. doing research projects, guys pushing feminist rhetoric in every conversation, black transgender talking about white oppression, all manner of "you can do anything" mentality. it's like irl tumblr out there
asciilifeform: doppler: i have all of the 'alphasmart' boxes, from 1st to last, the 'palm' one indeed took sd cards (two, no less, even) and had infrared diode.
phf: i'm pretty sure we had one or two threads, but about a different device
phf: i have a writer friend who claims typewriters keep him focused on task at hand, but in this case he purchased one of those radioshack devices, keyboard with 64k of text storage
phf: but yeah a communal work coffee shop is a space that advertises itself as a coffee shop, but mostly consists of permanently parked people with laptops. i'd say about 7-10 years ago it suddenly was hip to work from coffee shop? ☟︎
asciilifeform: but i got one for 25bux in scrap shop.
asciilifeform: phf: i also remember when colour laser was, not so long ago
phf: i remember when laser was a status symbol..
asciilifeform: i still got the dotmatrix printers tho
mircea_popescu: i should have kept all those ancient electric ones, made a fortune selling them to hipsters door to door.
phf: i shit thee not(tm)
mircea_popescu: and i hope it was a Leika typewriter.
phf: i decided to check out one of those communal work coffee shops, and you get every single stereotype here: startup bros, tinder date in progress, political feminists discussing next protest, but what takes the cake is a guy with a typewriter.
mircea_popescu: which is how trb-i even became an item.
ben_vulpes: origin story of this particular side quest is that i wanted to remove things from a list without having to jump through the hoops of remove and erase by using std::list remove_if
ben_vulpes: i could be wrong, pre c++11 might have adequate for loops
ben_vulpes: granted, i'm not looking into it too deeply beyond "m yeah blocks seem to be accruing"
mircea_popescu: so how about "i wonder why the terrorists hate us" is rendered as the correct and adequate "boy we must suck -- not even those sandniggers living in goat dung want us."
mircea_popescu: (i will for the record point out that the bread example is uniquely adequate because the centurial idiocy that is by now the only meaning of "american" started in this exact manner -- upper class bitches got white goods from westinghouse so they could have their precious butts and worthless heads freed from the chores of everyday so they could focus on... on what ? ON CHARITY!!111. review the "a one woman mission for your own
mircea_popescu: i dun recall it, but i believe.
mircea_popescu: craziest shit i ever saw, mostly because if one has even a vague familiarity with dogs they seem to look sadder than when they couldn[t move barely at all.
asciilifeform: but i can picture it
mircea_popescu: and i say all this, of course, because http://trilema.com/2016/io-la-conoscevo-bene/
asciilifeform: which is why i suspect that it ain't about the tools.
mircea_popescu: which is why i say -- depends on woman. if she can be useful with a tank buy her a fucking tank, why not.
asciilifeform: i thought that one was about the private auto. but it could be about 10,001 things, equally.
mircea_popescu: i do.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow ?
asciilifeform: i thought we were discussion functional items, 'white goods' etc
mircea_popescu: i like paintings that do nothing besides just sitting there.
mircea_popescu: hey, it works because there's a large contingent of morons who "want to move on with their life". what fucking life ? "make money on auto-pilot". bitch... do do what ? i wouldn't make money on auto-pilot if you paid me to!
asciilifeform: i can believe it.

Framedragger: ^ lots of trust from lending *to* folks, heh (well i got a bit of it via that, too)
davout: then again i don't visit it erryday

ben_vulpes: wiley hackers, i tell you! they could be trying to get in, right this minute, through the window! or maybe just by talking to their wife, they can learn enough to put into their artificial intelligence hackery machines to make guesses at your password! you need this thing! that we sell!
ben_vulpes: sheeeeit i do say this is some highly refined snake oil: http://www.spotcyber.com/ ☟︎☟︎
danielpbarron: asciilifeform, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/foIIo/?raw=true ; I don't recall the original amount, and I don't know that I ever paid you for them anyway. I think even then it was to be a gift. I did pay nubbins, and he never sent them, and was supposed to refund payment, but I don't think that ever came either
danielpbarron: if you have 100 to spare i can throw them in with my own FUCKGOATS orders :D
asciilifeform: i have literally a cubic metre of'em.
