mod6: Very nice packaging I might add.
asciilifeform: 'It's ok Jeff, if this new thing will have to be the Real Bitcoin then this new thing WILL be the Real Bitcoin. Point blank: money will never tolerate the sort of crap that has been pouring out of devtroop for the past while. I don't care you(*)'ve been dorking around with it for years and nobody told you it's wrong, that doesn't make it right, that just makes the little coven irrelevant enough. If current Bitcoin can't be made into
asciilifeform: a serious 13337d00d could , i imagine, perspective-transform the photo in his head, draw it, then immediately find on map.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i haven't spotted a fudged coastline on google's map yet -- dun mean it ain't there.
mircea_popescu: i think much like the gps of yore, "civillian" maps not militarily accurate
a111: Logged on 2017-03-28 15:03 mod6: i did wanna get a few xilinx boards to play with... but first ill see what I can learn with the other stuff I got. i also bought a soldering iron.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-28#1633177 << i'll point out, FUCKGOATS even doubles as a (very small, actually 2nd smallest chip they sell) xilinx dev board... ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i'm not saying /paint your windows/ i'm saying salvage some vintage hardwood window frames that don't seal, lack double-panes etc, and do something pretty with them.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i like everything about whiteboards save for the smell (and how they get porous and uneraseable over fairly short time) << on the latter part here, i agree. i kinda made a mistake. the one i bought is ~ok~, but when it starts to get bad, I'm gonna buy a new one that is glass.
shinohai: I thought I recalled an article somewhere where these parents successfully sued a school for forcing their son to clap erasers as punishment because he developed breathing issues ....
asciilifeform: i like everything about whiteboards save for the smell (and how they get porous and uneraseable over fairly short time)
shinohai: My neighbor has one of these, though I have yet to play with it: https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM32230/products_id/PRO50936
mod6: I hope it'll spur some collaboration anyway.
mod6: The thinking was, now I can diagram the things, post an image, have the other republicans look it over, and agree/disagree. Then it can become part of the ticket that gets entered, or at least linked in the notes section.
shinohai would like to thank Forrest Mims for printing decent book I could understand at 8 and building lifelong obsession
mod6: i realized when trying to diagram out, for instance, the notated split of trb.node with trb.wallet (posted in logs a little while back) that I didn't have enough paper on 8.5"x11"
mod6: I also bought this huge whiteboard ; 6'x4'
shinohai: It's a fun diversion. I have a plastic tub full of resistors, ic's, etc. I got for pennies when local radioschack shat
mircea_popescu: certainly as far as my own experience goes, just about all i know i learned while neglecting homework.
mircea_popescu: the more a man knows, the better a man he is. i wouldn't worry about it.
mod6: I won't let it side track me from my main work. Just something to futz with here and there.
mod6: I think I started thinking about it a lot more recently when pondering the auditing process of FGs.
mircea_popescu: great career path anyway. i never heard of an unemployed hardware negineer.
mod6: so we'll see what kind of mess i can make. haha
mod6: i did wanna get a few xilinx boards to play with... but first ill see what I can learn with the other stuff I got. i also bought a soldering iron. ☟︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i'm like... finally! people! doing commerce irl!~ << aha, nice.
mod6: So i bought one of those rigol MSO1104Z-S deals, and a bunch of stuff. couple raspberry pi's, three arduinos and a fairly large kit of sorts.
mircea_popescu: i'm like... finally! people! doing commerce irl!~
mircea_popescu: guy comes back later, to tell me they have no others ; and i can buy that one. takes it over to dispatch, "Hey, can you take this chair apart and pack it ?" "i'd love to."
mircea_popescu: the difference is palpable, too. me in computer store, sits down in char. "can i buy this ?" "uh... it's the display..." "you have no others ?" "brb i'll check"
mod6: I knew it couldn't have far off given recent bs in the former locale.
Framedragger: i guess so - it doesn't seem capable of leading one anywhere, so to speak. (this connects with (again) "generates nothing to be falsified"). iirc they tried to connect with "mirror neurons" etcetc "look we make it more concrete", but it was too eclectic / a cheat (don't recall, for anyone curious the article in question was iirc https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3223025/ )
Framedragger: definitely some kind of circular presupposition yeah (+ "i love recursion!!!" "i've read hofstadter" vibe)
mircea_popescu: to explain cognition* i mean
mircea_popescu: i recall this thing was one of the (many) post-bicameral-world-excitement byproducts. it failed to go very far.
mircea_popescu: the brighest dogs have iqs in the 30-40 range, and yet they can beat the average human in ~average human~ contexts. what could be more humiliating of a "culture" i can not imagine.
Framedragger: i'm sure that down south they'd also patronisingly stare at you if you dared smoke a cigarette in a park. the scottish at least tend to give less of a fuck, but still a nanny state 100%
Framedragger: well so far all i've got is that camera temperature was allegedly 29 degrees (C) which makes me to conclude after careful consideration that it must be "some place real warm at night". :)
mircea_popescu: and i can't tell you how fucking great it is to not find oneself in a country as despicably idiotic, either. people shouldn't live with people they hate.
mircea_popescu: nah i just checked it propar.
mircea_popescu: dude how the fuck are 100ms roundtrips possible to mp's interface in the middle of fucking goatland i have nfi. there's a half mile 20% average climb to get to his crow's nest.
mircea_popescu: i was born of a woman in the usual way ; perhaps fit for friendship but certainly not fit for public worship. it may work in private with my own sluts, but that is an insanely narrow and controlled environment.
shinohai: Or, mp may outsmart all you top minds on tardstalk/reddit - but perhaps I am biased.
mircea_popescu: (anyway, ftr i do not dispute the "So this exemplifies that MP makes mistakes, is reckless, duplicitous, and may be borderline lunatic/sociopath who could lose his mind at some point and totally REKT Bitcoin. We do not have decentralization with Satoshi's PoW." concept. examples are not needed ; mp is indeed all the above and more.)
shinohai: "But I couldn't even stay in the USA, because I am such a rebel. " <<< Like asciilifeform, my dosimeter is nearing max
mircea_popescu: not a matter of photoshop. besides i have a whole [unpublished] fucking set with them. and for that matter while she may be smarter than him, she's certainly braver seeing how she DID talk to mp eh.
shinohai: "Thus I think Mircea Popescu either hasn't thought this out entirely or he is counting on someone like myself (i.e. the sovereign republic) to fix it."
mircea_popescu: anyway, i recall the correct way to get dumb 16yo chicks to shave their snatch was to convince the other girls that it's declase. then they convince each other.
shinohai: I now know how you and hanbot musta felt when you tried to *give* camgirls btc a few years back.
mircea_popescu: i expect, yeah. so dun sell it like that.
shinohai: But I'll stick with it.
diana_coman: ha, wb mircea_popescu ; I left it on its own after I saw it was going ok, haven't quite timed it
diana_coman: mod6, list of deps for trb from what I gathered on a fresh, minimal centos box: bc, gcc, g++, gpg, wget, perl, patch, rsync, sha512sum, unzip
a111: Logged on 2017-03-28 02:00 phf: in practice last two times i was asked that, i knew the vadim etc. in question. it's still a funny question tho
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-28#1632906 << lightning just struck again. truth is, the world of actual competence / unsuck is truly tiny. there's a marked difference between type A "i saw a chick, do you know her ?" "no" and type A' "i saw this chick driving a red porsche, and she was without a doubt the most aggressive driver i ever saw. and incredibly fucking hot too!" "ah, that's jane," ☝︎
mircea_popescu: at some point cca 2012 i was trying to get him to get the lab into building miners. it never took off though.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 18:41 danielpbarron: a friend of mine is dealing with social workers trying to take his kids away, in part -- i think, because his oldest has been repeating some of the things i taught him to his teachers in school
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 18:36 ben_vulpes: apparently children shouldn't worry about making judgements about the world. or maybe just some subset of the world. it's unclear, but i think it would be grand if we all skipped along thinking that everything is hunky-dory because who am i to judge?
asciilifeform: will have to wait till i get stuck in a lift, or such.
asciilifeform: but it's a long an' fairly unpleasant document, fwiw i was not able to swallow whole thing, of yet.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-27#1632824 << i'm not actually gonna read the bs ; by the time they start with the "mistake" and "apologize" you know it's the wrong side of history speaking. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 16:10 asciilifeform: 'Hello asciilifeform I see on coin.dance/nodes , The Real Bitcoin is listed with the 'Emergent Consensus' feature tag. Could you tell me if that's accurate - will you follow a HF to > 1MB , and could you tell me anything about how it's implemented in TRB ? Thx!'
mod6: well, i agree it never should happen.
mod6: meanwhile, I'll see what i can do in the next few days about putting together alf's suggested patch
mod6: TomServo: as a side note, I've been watching MST for the first time. show is hilarious. i had no idea bout your nick. :]
TomServo: mod6: Gotcha. I'll try and perserve this as is and follow up later. Thanks.
asciilifeform: as orlol wrote, when someone asked 'how do i, typical office plankton, survive colapse' : 'for you -- there is not an answer. but you could try to become somebody else, a different kind of person , for whom there ~is~' or sumthinglikethat
asciilifeform: trinque: the folx who understood-why -- i suspect -- are not teaching pistol class, they are eating pistols
mod6: You could roll back to your latest backup I suppose, but using your chain for forensics is really a good idea so we can try to extrapolate some causation.
TomServo: Just so I understand, survey says? Node is fucked, may have forensic value?
asciilifeform: btw i was thinking about a command,
mod6: asciilifeform: I wonder iTomServo might try cutting off the latest blk#####.dat file? thoughts?
trinque: and obviously I'm not calling leadership a matter of humility. the narcissism is all through the ranks.
trinque: It’s not going to be armies, in pretty uniforms, fighting pitched, conventional battles. It’s going to be a matter of assassination, sabotage, hit-and-run raids, targeting ideological leadership figures, enemy families, etc. << I doubt this. Where are these leadership figures?
phf: in practice last two times i was asked that, i knew the vadim etc. in question. it's still a funny question tho ☟︎
asciilifeform: in practice, however, i often find that folx who read my www, are one or two graph hops apart, typically.
doppler: very nice. yes, i was curious about both.
danielpbarron: hah i actually taught him that one many years ago. kid needs a refresher course
ben_vulpes: "i want my lawyer"
danielpbarron: i suppose the "everything you say ~will~ be used against you" thing also applies to what the kid says. should he be instructed to remain silent if they ever try to do one of those one-on-one interviews with him?
danielpbarron: a friend of mine is dealing with social workers trying to take his kids away, in part -- i think, because his oldest has been repeating some of the things i taught him to his teachers in school ☟︎
ben_vulpes: apparently children shouldn't worry about making judgements about the world. or maybe just some subset of the world. it's unclear, but i think it would be grand if we all skipped along thinking that everything is hunky-dory because who am i to judge? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i barfed at "this is wrong and teaches children all kinds of toxic ideas about class and judging other people"
asciilifeform: and with that, my dosimeter is maxed out, i'ma bbl, need fresh air.
asciilifeform: or possibly i simply missed it.
asciilifeform: i thought it was mandatory for boecks.
asciilifeform: 'Rich Felker Retweeted Melissa @0xabad1dea Mar 17 it is really morally messed up that my disability payments from the govt are directly based on what my salary was before I got sick'
phf: i wonder if that's also him, http://www.phayul.com/news/tools/print.aspx?id=7786&t=1 https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/445103631558139904/7BMAaNQO.png http://www.phayul.com/images/news/articles/040928122838MC.jpg
asciilifeform: i do wonder, original author ? or its leah
asciilifeform: 'I don't really care about any details of @hdevalence's account. You made a mistake enabling & defending Jacob. Just apologize.'
shinohai: "I'll find out who did this IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!!!"
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 16:21 shinohai: I'm gonna bring back Classic since I failed at the whole phoundation thing! https://t.co/lkp7gyYWsR
shinohai: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C72_3siW0AQGwu1.jpg <<< continuation of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-26#1632778 "I only shared it with ONE person" ☝︎
Framedragger: to reframe into a pragmatic context, my log doesn't and won't for the time being (busy af) have search. as regards its formal status, i don't know man, but i'll just keep maintaining it :)
danielpbarron: well i would
Framedragger: at the very least the definite article 'the' wouldn't be the one i use
asciilifeform: i'm still waiting for something like a coherent explanation of how that's to work.
shinohai: I'm gonna bring back Classic since I failed at the whole phoundation thing! https://t.co/lkp7gyYWsR ☟︎
Framedragger: (scriba should have an option to force rearchiving i suppose. it does tell me if it fails to submit to archive (if archive.is does not return 'ok'), but in this case as far as archive.is is concerned, it's been properly archived; the fact that the contens say 'wotpaste: nothing found' is not its problem.)
Framedragger: oh shite, says 'nothing found'. could it be that the ID had already been used long ago? i suppose so
