diana_coman: wasn'
t that with old versions/unmaintained ?
mircea_popescu: phf pre-symbolics the "theorems" were "how do i computer" in general. those guys weren'
t playing around with custom fpga in their garage that they failed to sell. they were basically figuring out how to build a von neumann machine that can do things, which they did
mircea_popescu: i don'
t expect anything useful could be had in a timeframe shorter than re-doing all of bitcoin. it's a large box etc.
mircea_popescu: i'd like a computer where i didn'
t have this sort of problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i weep not hjaving ran this particular instance in debug, so i can'
t see where it's looping, or wtf
mircea_popescu: in other arcana : i have here a copy of trb that has died a mysterious death on dec 31st. the process itself hasn'
t returned, ps aux lists it as expected, however the last time it touched any files was two weeks ago, nor does a call to getinfo ever return.
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: relationship is also the largest of our recurring fiat denominated expenses. Sitting here my thinking latched onto present cash flow situation as the datacenter's goodwill isn'
t very liquid.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it strikes me as the height of strange that the balance sheet seems to paint a rosy picture whereas management communication is bleak and dour. these shouldn'
t contradict so, which is it ? << The cash flow situation concerns me. Our fiat denominated holdings have appreciated. As you assessed earlier our primary asset is a healthy customer relationship with the (very rare) independent datacenter. Maintaining that

mircea_popescu: re
http://pizarroisp.net/2019/01/ : leaving aside how annoying it is i can'
t select, and how it's the case trying to comment timesout : it seems the case pizarro ~made~ about 2 bitcoin during november, on the strength of its fiat-denominated holdings, taking it from being worth ~14 to being worth ~17 bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re ". Even when I manage a piece of evangelical Republican writing well received by the targeted community as measured by 'likes'... the reception warm reception is fuctionally empty." << the problem with this is the single-flower-spring issue. if you wish
t go this route your measurements are in the dozens of accounts, spitting forth 100s of daily posts supporting each other across the whole "niche".
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 00:17 BingoBoingo: My inclination was not to take the earlier committment for granted and underline the need to start working out a plan to achieve a positive ROI because I can'
t man alone it. Having sidechannel discussions outside this forum has been demonstrated -EV in the past. I am also wary of having strategic discussions outside of the channel where most of the republic's strategic and commercial competence sits.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, my thought is that if you can'
t make sales with spare capacity you're not going to make sales without spare capacity.
BingoBoingo: Even if I frame it as "we aren'
t utilizing the whole pipe", they are going to smell blood
trinque: "capacity will temporarily be X while BingoBoingo Ys, this gives
T time left to P. customers will meanwhile accumulate S shares per billing cycle of diminished capacity" as a rough model of what I'm talking about.
mircea_popescu: tmsr isn'
t some cool secret project for five dorks under some covers in a pillow fort somewhere. tmsr is the rule of the world and mandatory at all junctures, wtf.
mircea_popescu: because if they are not -- guess what, bezos also isn'
t.
mircea_popescu: what is this, retard school ? we don'
t want "projects" in the playdo sense.
trinque: don'
t know if y'all have a realistic perception of what sales takes, and "I'm gonna sell my way into the black in two months" sounds like.
diana_coman: trinque, for s.mg it's less straightforward and it's not even just a matter of backups only; at any rate, it's at best "starvation mode" so I don'
t see how it really gets pizarro out of trouble; so far it's not even clear that *price* is the trouble re converting really; is it?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 18:53 BingoBoingo: trinque: I don'
t have concrete plans. The major part of the DC cost is pipe rather than rack. Renegotiating for less pipe with the datacenter would change the costs we are basing our colocation price off of as well.
BingoBoingo: to work on the Pizarro marketing problem. Recently there have been some promising contacts from marketing efforts, but I haven'
t been converting yet.
BingoBoingo: If the marketing can'
t start catching fish. On this point I am working on a response to diana_coman. The short of it is I want help, and I want to know what kind of incentive can bring in some hands to help with marketing.
mircea_popescu: putting all sorts of things in there specifically so later on people don'
t run into "omfg retards why the fuck would they do it like that!!!" sorta issues
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t know that there's anything wrong with returning gcd of 0,0 as 0. in my abstract mental model wherein 1 is a divisor of all numbers, gcd 0,0 =1, and furthermore 0 can never be a divisor of anything ; but this purely set-driven problem is inconsequential in boole's alt-world afaak.
mircea_popescu: "There isn'
t, nor is there going to be a way, manner, instrument or device through which to protect the passive from the active." or how did that go.
mod6: Which wp didn'
t touch the <dir> tag and replace with < and >, and for whatever reason, <dir> seems to play with the text formatting. So after I replaced, it seems aligned properly now.
trinque: I don'
t see why you'd change your pricing at all if it turns out nobody's using the capacity.
BingoBoingo: trinque: I don'
t have concrete plans. The major part of the DC cost is pipe rather than rack. Renegotiating for less pipe with the datacenter would change the costs we are basing our colocation price off of as well.
☟︎ diana_coman: other than that the "reason" I can see is that otherwise in principle you need an additional check each time you call gcd (i.e. to make sure you don'
t step even if once in a blue moon) on this particular rake
diana_coman: asciilifeform, hm, I can'
t say that I have a very clear idea of ALL potential implications but atm I don'
t see some specific downside to that; I suppose the alternative would be to raise an error on gcd(0,0)?
lobbes: auctionbot was down for ~9 hours today (back online now). I'm going to give a 100 ecu per auction hour credit to everyone who had auctions going during this downtime, since no one could put in bids during that time and I don'
t wanna charge fees for those hours. Thinking I'll make this standard policy going forward
mircea_popescu: was a point in iirc 2015 when it was "get new client or can'
t connect"
diana_coman: yet another tool that "makes building simple" don'
t you know; eulora's client has a WHOLE pile of scripts on top of jam on top of autotools and all that
diana_coman: I'll have another look at any rate, can'
t hurt
diana_coman: ave1, hm, I did look in there when I made the first go aka I compiled step by step the whole thing; but I don'
t recollect any real alternative to the standalone lib if one wants to pack the code really

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-06#1885092 << i have a couple and the first one i bought i think had that issue, i didn'
t bother replacing it, and after first cleaning i believe it went away, or possibly i stopped noticing. the one at my office definitely has clean clicks on all they keys, so if it bothers you perhaps worth replacing
diana_coman: as it is specific to ada, a non-ada main has no idea (nor does it care) about it and therefore won'
t do it automatically; the only way to have it done is to call explicitly the "init" procedure for the Ada unit that is to be used; and the only way to *have* such an init procedure seems to be the standalone lib thing
diana_coman: i.e. if you want to call ada from something-else main then you don'
t really have any choice that works other than this

☝︎☟︎ lobbes: trinque: I agree that I could use a more substantive grasp on the script as a whole (and will indeed study moar), however I want to say I'm at least understanding the bit in "create_user.sh" where it calls useradd and passwd, and then adds the $USER to etc/sudoers. I'm just missing -why- the user/password I set through useradd/passwd wasn'
t working when trying to login. Probably something elementary
trinque: it didn'
t set a password on root. it asked you what user you wanted to create.
trinque: lobbes: why didn'
t you read the script..
BingoBoingo: Well, in 2014 the screws hadn'
t much been turned at all
mod6: And I think that makes sense, this isn'
t my personal project. How this work was done for the foundation should be a public facing thing, and reviewed by people before vpatches published.
a111: Logged on 2014-03-18 09:39 LordPutin: what do you mean they haven'
t? Are they facing legalaction?
mircea_popescu: IF 4 takes too little to bother, 2-3 aren'
t worth doing ; otherwise, otherwise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform IF rm doesn'
t take much time, THEN i don'
t see the point of doing any gcd. because r-m is a complete test for what we need, and gcd is not.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they ~party~ ie, don'
t keep a ready supply of the stuff (chemicals, biologicals) for whenever feel like, but rather whenever the "pipe" leaks something run out and buy some of each, twice a eyar or w/e.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it seems the reason he didn'
t pile up 2 dozen stiffs over the years is that same poverty
Mocky: so long as it doesn'
t have cancel button
mircea_popescu: if i had to take a blind wager, it'd be ye olde "information differential" -- jp knew and usg didn'
t.
mircea_popescu: now then : all these fantasies, "i'll worship so purely i'll never die", "i'll get a paycheck so huge i won'
t have to go on dates anymore", "i'll be that kurchatov" rely on something specific : there's gotta be a stalin. there's no stalin of long living, nor is there a stalin of rooseveltian socialism -- the thing's built ~specifically~ (and ~purposefully~, deliberately) as a "stalinism without any stalin".
mircea_popescu: there ~isn'
t~ a way to be good ~at your chosen field~ such that you're a successful chowdry in incadom.
mircea_popescu: and no, you can'
t ressurect a dead argument on the tail end of having been hammered into the ground. there's nobody alive ; there's no berths ; you can pursue this fantasy at a terrible cost anyway.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 20:31 asciilifeform: but to the extent the props of the reich are working physical artifacts, and they haven'
t yet descended to shaking pointed sticks and 'ook ook' sounds, they're made by somebody. and that's largely who, folx given -- yes -- some sorta berth.
mircea_popescu: menalone llc will spawn as it's principal product, and the spawn ain'
t gonna be like daddy.
mircea_popescu: nope. analoguous to "oh, this bureaucracy can'
t just put mp-wp on, gotta spend 5mns to pay some indian monkey $500 to wing an "in house" one overnight"
mircea_popescu: dude's not publishing patches for anyone to sign, and your kind if ineffectual attempts to sign them anyway don'
t enact patches out of a void.
