mircea_popescu: for now we can still run old boards. but that won'
t last forever.
mircea_popescu: it's about plainest morals : please consider if your duty to yourself, as a free man worth two shits doesn'
t require you to publish all the shit you know.
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t hurt the things you don'
t like, you're not really a man.
hegemoOn: exemple of failure : transaction processor which doesn'
t listen to commit acknowledgment of the sql database
decimation: apparently in new york the situation is a little more harsh: "In New York, people have given up on equity. I hear this time and again in the NYC tech scene - building a company is hard in NYC because people don'
t believe equity is worth anything because of the bullshit that happened in the first bubble. In New York especially, there were a lot of shenanigans with equity in 99/00 bubble/crash era where companies got sold and employees
decimation: "Don'
t you have faith that we'll be successful?"
mircea_popescu: "sure he can piss everyone off - but he can'
t actually pay dividends correctly to save his life"
jurov: also, i can'
t relate the bitbet dividend (3.21579681) to S.BBET monthly statement that says:
Vexual: I would have if you hadn'
t mentioned itt
Adlai: don'
t forget to take off your shirt
Vexual: Trauma isn'
t necessarily bad
Vexual: We don'
t even know what a block is worth
thestringpuller: yea, but i guess problem is if this computer is slow at getting current block this raising blocksize thing ain'
t gonna fly
BingoBoingo: Haven'
t tried don'
t have any PPC macs around at the moment
BingoBoingo: Just because it doesn'
t compile as offered doesn'
t mean and can'
t be beat into it.
punkman: bitcoind doesn'
t run on ppc
punkman: I don'
t want it to fix things, that's nonsense
BingoBoingo: What does a 3D printer actually fix that a roll of Duct tape doesn'
t fix faster and better?
punkman: maybe, if you aren'
t spending all your time trying to keep printer level
punkman: also, not only do you have to learn to CAD, but most CADs just don'
t work for things you want to 3D print
Vexual: Dunno. Makes me think that things McAfee says aren'
t nessisarily because of bath salts
ben_vulpes: oh jesus this is going to be like gimp isn'
t it
ben_vulpes: i can'
t recall if i ever bumped into freecad.
decimation: Because there's very little I can imagine labview can do that couldn'
t be replaced with a few hundred lines of "c" and the labview driver library
ben_vulpes: it's one of those few interfacing problems that i don'
t really think is suited to a textual abstraction.
ben_vulpes: i wasn'
t programming when i was a hot modeler.
ben_vulpes: it ain'
t under vibratory load or anything
mircea_popescu: decimation : "independent op ed" = "piece written for narcissist that we didn'
t have to pay'
mircea_popescu: except it doesn'
t actually do anything. gawker is entirely myspace'd.
mircea_popescu: "oh, IAC said our deeply discounted CPM is not worth paying for anyway because we don'
t have any actual relevancy / power online ??!?!?!"
BingoBoingo: This run with a 4GB process RAM limit it hasn'
t crashed yet. Just crossed the 512 MB line around block 153000
mod6: dynamically linked ~18mb, statically linked (that didn'
t work) ~28mb
mircea_popescu: if you handling the cane can'
t tell when she;s had enough, her with the bruises and marks CERTAINLY can'
t.
thestringpuller: Nah its a static graph. And I need to redo one of the algorithms to only list those with L2 trust, a few pop up that shouldn'
t be there.
cazalla: thestringpuller, approved, but shouldn'
t you be working? :P
mod6: which we won'
t support.
mod6: when statically linking via the makefile.unix that's included with v0.5.3, I can'
t even get mine to compile correctly. So, I'll be spending a lot of time probably re-writing the entire makefile
mod6: ok thats awesome. although, i think what everyone has been running up to now is a dynamically linked version of the output binary. which shouldn'
t even be availab.e
mod6: <+thestringpuller> mod6: ben_vulpes it got past the wedge <+thestringpuller> "blocks" : 164713 << looks to me like you just hit a spot where it was slow, maybe a lot of disconnected blocks. this isn'
t the "wedge" block we were hitting. tx we had issues with (VerifiySignature) was in block 168,001. It's all in the logs.
Adlai: well, ok, not anybody, those that have learned from being marginalized that 'society' isn'
t necessarily acting on any good reason
punkman: wasn'
t he the fellow with the broken dick?
mircea_popescu: how did you get this idea, that if you don'
t follow something it's incumbent on me/the school/the world to fix it for you ?
Adlai: world use of the version that doesn'
t require a change before we talk about making changes - my 2¢
Adlai: benjamindees:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones << money doesn'
t have to be convenient to be useful, and there are zillions of ways to handle amounts that aren'
t worth the transaction cost of lugging the whole thing around; some ways are more transparent (like federated sidechains), and others less (like changetip). non-federated sidechains require changing bitcoin itself, so let's see real
benjamindees: I've read everything you linked so far. It seems mostly sarcastic, which I don'
t really follow since I don'
t read your logs anyways.
Adlai: benjamindees: wait, let's back up a bit, if not for your then my sake. what's the point of sidechains? i don'
t think it's "paying for bitcoin mining"
Adlai: note that for the "real bitcoin", this just has the effect of further distinguishing it as such, if the current mess didn'
t do that well enough
Adlai: mircea_popescu: arguably, the main/relevant effect of 'sidechains' to date has been funnelling VC money into subsidizing full nodes... although i guess you don'
t trust full nodes run by those people... but you don'
t have to because bitcoin
xanthyos: please rate me down so i can'
t voice myself in this terrorist room anymore
benjamindees: mircea_popescu, ain'
t nobody got time for that
Adlai: no, i feel rather ignorant of them. i understand the technical description in the paper, but haven'
t given it enough thought to be for or against. i can'
t speak for other people in this channel.
Adlai: i mean, if he's asking to get the police involved, don'
t they love responding to death threats?
mircea_popescu: maybe better take it as "this man won'
t give me for free stuff that people might get if they pay upwards of six figures in fees. my feeble attempts to defeat his defences through 9yo discoursive tactics are probably going to fare about as well as 9yos generally fare against multi million dollar concerns."
Adlai had heard the buzzword, hadn'
t bothered to actually read about it until now
Adlai: mircea_popescu: i'll take that as a "haven'
t heard/cared about it", which is still a datapoint
mircea_popescu: think "occupywallstreet" or "feminism" or w/e. "the luxor center for businessmen". these collections don'
t actually do anything, it's not unlike a coral discussing which way to undulate for saving the whales.
mircea_popescu: he doesn'
t mean the people = "the people". he means the people = your friends.
mircea_popescu: "the planet is fine, the people are fucked" is what people say when they can'
t digest the obvious "if you could understand more, you could understand more"
Adlai: i won'
t dispute that nature computes.
mircea_popescu: (ie, "can'
t carry meaning". just like the foregoing it's also logically necessary, no debate possible. it flows from what you're saying, which is essentially "humans are noise". sure. but noise doesn'
t really matter. like brownian motion.)
mircea_popescu: if this is how you redefine your humans, i will change "don'
t exist" to "don'
t matter".
mircea_popescu: it's simple : inasmuch as your definition of "human" difers from "econ", it doesn'
t exist.
Adlai finds himself again bringing up kahneman, who talks about "humans" vs "econs", the latter describing the rational agents of economic theory, which don'
t actually exist on this planet
mircea_popescu: rational incentives don'
t enter into it. as far as derpy social studies types are concerned, all effort available should go into that.
mircea_popescu: unrelated datapoints. half energy available \being used to mine bitcoin makes bitcoin safe for humans (safe in the sense of, won'
t be overrun by the altcoin problem)
☟︎ danielpbarron: i hope you guys aren'
t relying solely on me to achieve those ends; a lot of this is totally new territory for me
mircea_popescu: im gonna have to make another div payment set without a deed registrar aren'
t i.
gribble: trinque was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 18 hours, 58 minutes, and 25 seconds ago: <trinque> mod6: lots of chatter about "can'
t find -lgcc_s" on teh googles
danielpbarron: and if it sees such a drive, it won'
t try to boot from the attached sata drive; so you can then fdisk as needed
