asciilifeform: ( somebody with a node on a lan, that nothing is relying on -- try it )
TomServo: I'm starting with a -logtimestamps switch.
TomServo: Not quite a 1G, I have to restart it a lot. I'll find somewhere for it.
asciilifeform: TomServo: do me a favour, post your entire debug.log somewhere.
asciilifeform: (or , alternatively, a catastrophically buggy timestamp printer )
asciilifeform: physically impossible without a broken clock.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: he must've put in timestamps, at some point, iirc a few people did
a111: Logged on 2015-12-27 17:38 asciilifeform: 'It is about sending a strong message. I think we may need to start an accreditation scheme for Bitcoin-consensus compliant wallets and services. Through code signing and use of multisig, we can even distinguish transactions made by compliant wallets and non-compliant wallets, and have pools not mine them (or wallets refuse to send to known-non-compliant wallets).'
trinque: and I take the above to mean they'd be able to craft multi-sig transactions that are signature equivalent to a single-sig I create.
asciilifeform: trinque: it's a multilayered shit-sandwich: aside from the crackpot 'infinite number of sigs in finite sized crate' aspect entirely:
trinque: "From a privacy standpoint, Schnorr allows the entire policy of the multisig to be obscured and indistinguishable from a conventional single pubkey." << and what happens when the indistinguishability flows the other way...
asciilifeform: also where does the 1k figure come from ? for what does a smallholder-farmer even need money. ☟︎
trinque: isn't bless the "make bootable" thinger on a mac?
ben_vulpes: five minutes later i realized it was a commentary on /race/ and not /sex/
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> "fucking what? you need your own leagues to even take a podium spot." << heheh
mircea_popescu: it's not nearly as unilateral as all that. 20yo afghani female is actually competent and appreciated for her competence. this is a damn sight more than anything hilary clinton ever achieved in her sad, contorted stump of a life
ben_vulpes: "fucking what? you need your own leagues to even take a podium spot."
ben_vulpes: nah, he's been drinking progesterone from the recycled water for so long he's practically a woman
mircea_popescu: why use the mechanisms that work (but they work! which is unfair!11) when you could use no mechanisms at all and dream a little dream of things.
ben_vulpes: which is right in line with other threads elsewhere about how we got cvasi-marxism, where we vote ourselves more stuff every year but what gets delivered is a plastic sham of what was ordered. looks like everything is going to be free, but that 'everything' just serves to keep us anchored to our pocketscreens
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: had a few amusing scenarios for how 'ubi' might play out: "massive army", "un camps, did you know they've got refugee camps down to the point where it costs 1200 us/year to mostly keep them from killing each other?", "genocide" etc
mircea_popescu: certainly a much more respectable, as well as effectual, historical figure.
asciilifeform: betcha the chinese would shoot one if there even could be such a thing today.
mircea_popescu: in related lulz : girl here got invited to a 5 day "history of argentina" "workshop". the schedule ? 4 days discussing "democracia".
mircea_popescu: you know, chumpatrons are a thing, yes, but there's no 0 cost extraction. there's plenty of chumps who, while carrying nonzero chumpatronium, are also worth below 0 on the chumpatron raw materials market.
mircea_popescu: bout a third of which goes towards supporting the nonsensical notion that real estate in the us is actually worth money.
mircea_popescu: of course it would. currently they dispose of about 1.5k a month.

shinohai remembers when reddit did a ubi "experiment" that gave PENNIES in Bitcoin to schmucks, was shut down by Ellen Pao
mircea_popescu: on questioning he had this to say : "tis a fair cop."
Framedragger: (i think it's just because there's a customs fee to be paid but will see - lulzy)
phf: on recommendation of qntra i bought a copy of "The Camp of The Saints". i'm hoping it'll teach me about the great again
BingoBoingo: Also ty asciilifeform and mircea_popescu for getting a pretty little FUCKGOAT to my mailing address
gabriel_laddel_p: BingoBoingo: and what, pray tell does "drug like a gentleman" look like?
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> BingoBoingo: "I should study more" isn't a winning idea. GTFO. << Please study more drugs. Gain experience. Maybe things work out for you and can do the right about face learning to drug like a gentleman.
ben_vulpes: yeah that's not a particularly good pose
mircea_popescu: little gem of a scorsese movie.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I never wanted to be a great inventor. Still don't.
mircea_popescu: not so sure that's a sane comparison.
trinque: I couldn't give a shit less
trinque: he's just here to argue with himself to charge up the courage to I dunno, do a bump of meth, or not do a bump of meth, or w/e
asciilifeform: i could tell gabriel_laddel_p that when i was a small boy, i also wanted somebody to go straight to 'great inventing' without all thar book larnin'
phf: my solutions to problems like that don't usually involve "bring in a 40mb package". i'd write a top level handler, that shows a modal x11 based repl/restart machinery. sort of poor man's genera ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: BingoBoingo: "I should study more" isn't a winning idea. GTFO. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: nobody is going to drop all of their emacs packages & workflow overnight to learn a new system. Emacs is going to stick around until new hardware is made.
BingoBoingo: Well if you aren't sure drugs aren't part of problem keeping you from a mailing address feel free to keep trying them.
phf: well, i wouldn't go as far as playing nicely either. you have a clim editor, that you can theoretically extend in all kinds of interesting ways, yet you're still using it in combination with the emacs, etc.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: phf has it. use kalman reti's infamous bolix movie as a guide.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: even if I gave you a list of all the packages, it would take ~6months to get everything playing nicely.
phf: but there was none of that, because there wasn't actually anything being done. i think it would be a lot more impressive if you setup a non trivial task and showed how masamune makes that task easier to perform ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> asciilifeform: if only I had amphetamines I'd have a place to sleep... << You know... There's GIRLS at NA meetings
asciilifeform: i'd ask 'what didja learn from it' but it is probably a mistake.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: people openly sell LSD all the time out here. I was given a vial of liquid for free a few months ago
gabriel_laddel_p: guy lives within a train ride.
mircea_popescu: nah i link a very narrow selection
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: https://annoyinglysparklyreview.tumblr.com/ < if you look into the tumblr tags she uses you can track where the meth routes are in CA. people post pictures all the time. I have FACES of dealers a few miles from me.
asciilifeform: for instance, a kg of lsd has, in all likelihood, never existed on planet3, but ~every single trial of american makers of it has involved such a qty or larger
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: ~all dope turns, 'magically', into 100% purity, when busted in usa. it is a peculiarity of the prosecutorial system, moar pure --> moar sentence
gabriel_laddel_p: fking annoying b/c it is EVERYWHERE around here, but I simply don't know anyone. Eg there was a 200lb meth bust miles from where I am staying.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: if only I had amphetamines I'd have a place to sleep...
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p when was the last time you had a full night's sleep ? or a proper meal ?
trinque: I sit here in a town full of oil business
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: this type of life has worked for programmers (e.g., rms, though he did eventually turn into a human mushroom, and i do not think it was pure chance)
asciilifeform: y'know, having a place to put.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: do you have a place to live yet ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: get a copy of, e.g., hennessey & patterson. and read.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I wrote most of the code, got a machine to host it, and.... a bunch of nonsense has prevented me from getting to sf and setting it up.
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: what happened to that www archiver you talked about for a minute?
gabriel_laddel_p: I know nothing about hardware. All I've got is a list of log lines where you talk about hardware that sucks less, and each and every time I record it.
gabriel_laddel_p: Am going to the FIG meetup group again to see if I can get a few for free...
asciilifeform: trinque: i've always wondered who drives against traffic, and why. perhaps -- a brit
trinque: the guy pulled into the place right behind a cop, who couldn't be bothered with it
trinque: good old houston, been a decade
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: if you're thinking of nic-on-xilinx, every single one (with the exception of the 10BaseT half-duplex that's floated around since 1990s) relies on a xilinx-proprietary fabric turd
trinque: mircea_popescu: downtown's great, welcomed me back last night with watching somebody drive wrong way up a one way road on the sidewalk to get to the burger joint I was at
gabriel_laddel_p: There was a software defined fourth NIC dropped in the logs that is pretty well documented.
asciilifeform: where, for example, do i buy a nic that doesn't dma ? or a cpu that works with it.
gabriel_laddel_p: Reviewing all the log references in the "TODO: new, better hardware" node of the manual and compiling a list of hardware that is less braindamaged. Purchasing, assembling & them selling them as the 2nd generation of Masamune.
BingoBoingo: And there's a good chance some asshole nearby is running a salt plant and fucking with the water table

a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 19:44 phf: in totally unrelated, i just learned that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d.
asciilifeform: the sheer depth of the retardation, ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawiki ) >> 'Human-readable, secure payment destinations-- customers will be asked to authorize payment to "example.com" instead of an inscrutable, 34-character bitcoin address.' 'Resistance from man-in-the-middle attacks that replace a merchant's bitcoin address with an attacker's address before a transaction is authorized with a hardware w
doppler: so being fully compatible is a real pain
Framedragger: doppler: ah right, seq is actually a binary, fancy that (so works outside bash - hence why various .sh scripts use seq instead of bash's {} i guess, to be more compatible? just a guess)
doppler: well to be precise bash doesn't actually have a seq builtin
phf: i have a tool in my scripts folder, seq (e.g. seq 0 100) that does the same thing, and that i end up rewriting every once in a while
phf: in totally unrelated, i just learned that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d. ☟︎
asciilifeform: a broadcom GB nic datashit.
asciilifeform: 'Also included in this release is the manual for the CIA's "NightSkies 1.2" a "beacon/loader/implant tool" for the Apple iPhone. Noteworthy is that NightSkies had reached 1.2 by 2008, and is expressly designed to be physically installed onto factory fresh iPhones. i.e the CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.'
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/QUcCh >> 'U.S.-Israeli teen arrested in Israel over bomb threats to Jewish centers'. 'A young Israeli man who also holds U.S. citizenship was arrested in Israel on Thursday on suspicion of making dozens of hoax bomb threats against Jewish community centers in the United States and several other countries. At a court hearing near Tel Aviv, the suspect's defense attorney said the young man has a growth
asciilifeform: a burn-off of the accumulated stupidity to date, would be a great start.
asciilifeform: in re intel, it gotta die, but if it 'dies' merely by getting a chinese board of directors, but continues to produce ye olde x86 liquishit, with 35 yrs of idiocy built on top -- then didn't really die, not yet.
mircea_popescu: but the point being : nintendo utterly owned a market, which some years later had the n64 people killed for used as paperweights. sony owned the market, then lost to microsoft, and so following. this notion that intel has a hope in hell is about as ludicrous as the nonsense career bureaucrats in washington built their lives on.
mircea_popescu: anyway. this'll do fine for a stock answer to the people inquiring why $random-"standard" isn't supported. the account is delinquent. they owe a lot of money and are trying to defraud us of it.
mircea_popescu: the point here being, again, to restate : if the developer didn't meet a minimum value of sales, sega paid the difference.
mircea_popescu: so sega, in desperation, introduced a "minimum sales program". whereby, if the developer didn't meet a minimum value of sales
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, asciilifeform has been greatly enjoying a truly hilarious biography of kim il-sung : http://militera.lib.ru/bio/balkansky_a01/index.html
asciilifeform: i do not yet know a pill against it.
asciilifeform: 'is mircea_popescu referring to some concrete approach, or just a generic prof.brin-style 'THINK!YOUMAGGOTS''
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu baking a pc-style mobo is not expensive, our existing pcb people could quite readily do it. the problem is 'out of what'. the necessary docs are not available, never leaked, nor the firmware signing keys (still not phuctored!1111 damn)
