mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peons don't enter into it. the sort of captives in the consolidated shit of their own head who ask for
a "solid, useful knowhow item" and then IMMEDIATELY retort "it isn't innovative" when such is presented, however... those doods have problems.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet someone who lets as
a living, even if part time, who wouldn't kill for
a good tenant.

a recreational habit of fixing other people's toilets in the most retarded corner of south america...
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 01:04 Framedragger: sure. my internal alfatron says "may as well test for tape backup storage system viability" though; surely it's inefficient to test *all* things in
a domain that one is not optimistic to begin with. but i see your rationale of course
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 01:02 Framedragger: mircea_popescu: oof, max fat32 size is 4gb, with
a maximum of (to the tune of) hundreds of millions of files (less than 1bn); there's also exFAT of course, etc., but eugh
phf: jeez, i like how they are not even trying.
a bootstrap template one pager and
a link to "bitcointalk thread"
☟︎ trinque: We admitted we were powerless to give
a shit about the IRS
trinque: I'll be impressed when the "I'm just
a dude" trope goes away.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-16 17:25 asciilifeform: iirc ben_vulpes set up
a similar experiment ( lan miner )
a month or so ago, but i dun recall what came of it
mircea_popescu: seems
a great idea until you're 40 and 10-15-20 years in.
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of dumb shit young men do because their parents are woodland creatures / barn animals, buyt this is by far the most common, "building
a career" on government crap.
ben_vulpes has
a tool in place, the annual maintenance and extension budget for which was dwarfed by the amount of money spent closing the sale on its replacement. which is going on lord only knows how late, nth rewrite, over budget, no surprises in sight
ben_vulpes: except for how it's
a miserable shitshow of liars and frauds and also you have to sell shit they won't actually benefit from to bureaucrats
mircea_popescu: but yes, it's one step above trying to make money out of "guaranteed
A essay" depository websites.
ben_vulpes: which go for 5-7x what
a car shop goes for, fwiw
trinque: the only "own
a subway" is that
ben_vulpes: more specifically, "assuming one wants
a car shop for purely emotional and recreational reasons, how to determine what to pay for it?" "calculate hardware liquidation price, discount four years of cashflow declining by 10-30%
a year to today, and offer
a dime over that"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: buy
a subway holy shit. why the fuck would you buy an item the dorks expect to be provided "as
a publicgood". fuck them.
ben_vulpes: "would you rather buy
a car repair shop or
a subway?"
ben_vulpes: buffet at least endeavoured once upon
a time to buy firms with established mgmt.
mircea_popescu: nobody gives
a shit about that, nor can
a model based on such examples be THE MODEL.
mircea_popescu: the delusion of
a corporation has at its core the notion that "what to do" is
a well explored space, and that "anyone" could and moreover in that position would be doing it.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's
a case in history where the shareholders got their money's worth.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: to be fair, anyone who didn't liquidate
a week before jobs' illness hit the rags is
a derp who got what they deserved
ben_vulpes: hacker nyooz recently realized how brokerages add slack to the market, twas
a lulzy set of comments
mircea_popescu: imagine if in
a few years the actual fucking chunks of metal are the point of worship. "oh man, that's tech! who can make straight angles anymore!"
☟︎ ben_vulpes: anyways, upstack, i have had
a very ahem productive weekend
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : there's this matte window to the side of my chicken. and there's
a gecko who now lives there. but i mean totally, its his window.
ben_vulpes: i mean there's
a whole trumpet flare and clouds parting and everything sure
trinque imagines ben_vulpes standing atop
a fixed shitter patriotically, like the bum in mircea_popescu's parable
ben_vulpes: asks the guy who developed
a recreational habit of fixing other people's toilets in the most retarded corner of south america...
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-03-19 23:43 mircea_popescu: it's not
a bad thing, not among people who love each other.
trinque: homeboy from san antonio needs to pick
a less retarded name
Framedragger: gdax looks to have
a sick animation on the landing page, with forever-rising candles
mod6: well, whatever we go with will be
a solution driven by performance numbers and functional satisfaction.
Framedragger: you basically deal with
a continuous array; plus the option to be careful to read/write at sector boundaries for i/o efficiency.
Framedragger: not that my word carries
a lot of weight here but gotta say, alf's block storage idea (bypassing fs) makes
a lotta sense (and is elegant, with defined complexity, etc.)
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, who's to say
a simple move to 64 bits doesn't resolve the problem altogether. but anyway, i'm more making
a point than proposing
a technical solution.
mircea_popescu: consider : IF we decide to make megabyte large blocks, who says fat32 is inadequate then ? that 4gb has
a lot to do with the size of
a block.
Framedragger: sure. my internal alfatron says "may as well test for tape backup storage system viability" though; surely it's inefficient to test *all* things in
a domain that one is not optimistic to begin with. but i see your rationale of course
☟︎ Framedragger: mircea_popescu: oof, max fat32 size is 4gb, with
a maximum of (to the tune of) hundreds of millions of files (less than 1bn); there's also exFAT of course, etc., but eugh
☟︎ mod6: The role was put on hold since I wrote `t', and 'tb0t', but might come back up again at
a later date.
mod6: so
a very exciting time, as far as I'm concerned.
Framedragger: (yeah mircea_popescu afraid i won't have time re. those other two till quite
a bit later)
Framedragger: mod6: by steganographer, do you mean
a way of linking to chat lines relevant to given project, or
a way of automatically linking relevant chat lines (keywords), or
a (flesh) user role? just curious
mod6: any ticketing thing is as useful as you make it. it takes effort to remember to keep it up and to ~use~ it. any thing we can do to make that
a more automated process though, is nice.
mod6: and we could track things easier instead of having to have it be
a formal role. but with the new version, seperate projects can have different users, so for instance, if UCI wants
a stenographer, then the project admin can just add the steno to the UCI users table. volla.
mod6: yeah, there was this intial idea of
a 'stenographer'.. and I think that's what drove me to just make the ticket system.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-13 01:00 Framedragger should write some kind of simple thingie which takes (1) keyword and (2) timestamp pairs as intervals, and produces
a kind of wiki page for all given keywords. (2) can be amended later as needed. so that there'd be
a page for gossipd without much effort at all
Framedragger: (btw since there's so much different stuff happening i was considering doing something like
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-13#1481401 (and possibly using log.mkj.lt's multi-line-citation feature to 'capture' different notes/projects) but obviously expanding the ticketing system in
a consistent, proper way is the way to go)
☝︎ mod6: no, not
a list of notes per ticket in the original version.
Framedragger: i guess having an easy way to add new projects (or have
a 'misc' parent but maybe that's too dirty) would help in that it'd be easier to record stuff, including tasks not directly tied to trb or V
Framedragger: mod6: fwiw i agree completely. the key point here is (as you said) *noting it down* (including dead-ends). so yeah, afaict you're on the very right track here. i wonder, does the current system need complex massaging to be able to track things like that? i mean, you can add tickets, but i guess no way for them to have
a *list* of notes (per ticket)
mod6: <+asciilifeform> to n00bs i often recommend to have an analogue scope also << are these just
a bit easer to learn on than their digital counterparts?
mod6: I dont need
a ticket for this, but man, I really gotta get into the swing of Ada.
mod6: Gotta have
a way to go back and check easily, and have
a place for that.
mod6: Even if you think that we're at
a wall, and we've seen all there is to see.. then we record those numbers. Or if we should try on baremetal with, reiserfs, and record those, or if even with those baselines, then someday we make our own filesystem and compare to those baselines.
mod6: There is some side project stuff too that I'd like to get organized and tickets entered for. For instance, you, Framedragger, did some work towards the filesystem idea. We aught to have
a ticket for that and track the results.
mod6: Heh, I'm working on
a major update to T, also. It's been
a bit slow-going as that isn't obviously the most high priority item.
mod6: Yup, all the wot variant rules are in place. We now orphan vpatches from the flow where ~all~ antecedents are *not* present. Some other small changes, such as; When you press to
a give output directory 'X', and then press to the same given output directory, we first remove 'X', then create & press.
mod6: <+Framedragger> anyway not sure how useful but you might want to take
a look at
http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/ doppler (at *_tickets.html), not sure how up to date. (...) << Yeah, it needs some updating. The new V is going to be out in the next few days. Then will put some time into that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "disagreement-verbiage" so to call it is the stuff of life. i have tons of it with my slavegirls, and they're very literal chattel slaves, not as much as
a stitch they own outright nor as much as
a private fold in their heart. nevertheless...
doppler: Framedragger: cool, I'll take
a look
doppler: that's like something you'd see in
a film
Framedragger: (re. scientific tree, grandfather had this notebook where he diddled lots of things. he was
a kind of soviet accountant, and died when i was ~4. many years later when looking at notebook, i discover this 'game' across
a great many pages of it. turns out... game of life - neat)
shinohai: I think you are proobably tghe first person I have *ever seen give
a direct response* to that question here.
doppler: my father does account management at
a photography studio
Framedragger: i think that list was supposed to focus on technology-things, hence it being so partial. (but then, maybe one can see 'church' as
a piece of technology, etc...)
a111: Logged on 2015-11-05 22:00 mircea_popescu: actually, this is probably long overdue and
a major public service. so i ordered teh gals bring cognac and i shall proceed
doppler: I have
a lot of interests relating to computer technology and operating systems
trinque: maybe you want to make better introductions than "
a dude" ?
doppler: hoping to chill out here for
a little while if that's ok
doppler: just
a dude; I read your website and sort of have
a loose grasp of some of the community members here
ben_vulpes: feels really good to get
a solid grasp on
a nut you'd thought completely out of reach and really wrench on it
mircea_popescu: yes. where do you buy
a 4mb internal memory that writes at that rate, seeing how that's what the fucking rigol has.
BingoBoingo: It's
a seriously dangerous woodchipper idiocy. Not realizing an act of aggression for what it is and mistaking it for
a welcome.
BingoBoingo just got back from corned beef and cabbage at long term drug and alcohol rehab facility.
A+++ would eat holiday novelty food there again.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd possess someone to make 4mb internal storage you know ? put
a fucking camera stick, have whatever, 32gv
mod6: im
a total n00b on this stuff, my apologies.
shinohai: Mozilla says most people are "pretty fuzzy" about the way encryption works. Some 65 percent say they know
a little about encryption but wish they knew more, while almost third said they know almost nothing about it. Those who claim to know more about encryption also report feeling more secure online, according to Mozilla."
