trinque: I thought the point of doing business in a WoT was to avoid that kind of thing.
trinque: gotta say, I'm eventually going to cancel my service if this "we pulled the price out of our asses, and here it is" thing doesn't turn into a process somebody surfaces on a blog somewhere. ☟︎
mod6: We're willing to purchase more fiat at some point later in the month of course.
mod6: All, an update from Pizarro: The price point that Pizarro will be using for the month of October is $6170 per BTC.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo more proeminent back then.
mod6: Ok, just thought I'd offer.
mod6: mircea_popescu: Maybe the Foundation could pay for the machine, since she'll be doing work on behalf of the Foundation?
BingoBoingo: hanbot: Looks really good. I can't think of changes which would keep it something that might get bites.
mod6: I also, really appreciate you stepping up to help me out. Seriously.
mod6: hanbot: Thank you, I really like both of these. I don't think I would change a word. Nice job!
BingoBoingo: hanbot: ty, reading. Just got back from epic beachwalk

mod6: now I get mp's -10 on thebluematt
mod6: Yeah, I wanted to get a bit of background here before I do. On-deck next :]
asciilifeform: mod6: the article is pretty sad
mod6: This is the first chance I've had to even read this trustnodes article
mod6: "looks good to me" ?!
mircea_popescu: i guess i gotta get that girl a real machine now, so she can actually v and stuff.
mircea_popescu: just as long as we're clear "media-wannabes" includes everyone, from washpo and guardian to what have you.
mircea_popescu: i don't see a problem. maybe could be had warmer, but not clear that can be done without elongation. terseness' is a virtue, as ~nobody reads anymore.
hanbot: ty asciilifeform. BingoBoingo also take a look?
asciilifeform: mod6: plz to look
asciilifeform: hanbot: imho this is entirely good, and oughta be taken up

hanbot: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/KImP1/?raw=true << coupla rough drafts re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857870 ; first specific to trustnodes wankpiece in particular, latter as a kind of generic template. mod6 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu asciilifeform et al pls to scrutinize when convenient. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i got the perfect monture supporting your summary, coming out in a few hours.
asciilifeform: may have been in a trilema
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i was looking for is our discussion of the old republic wrecking that was the "fugitive slaves act". you got link ?
mircea_popescu: i just... i don;'t recall days that huge, ever.
a111: Logged on 2013-03-01 05:35 KRS1: yeah..wasnt always like that
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's got negative indices, too
a111: Logged on 2013-03-01 22:30 SudsyForce: Two slave brothers, one black, one an albino, discover a treasure map which is taken from them by their foreman. They take it back but are pursued by the foreman. Originally, the foreman seeks the aid of two bounty hunters who pursue the protagonists throughout the film. At the end, both the foreman and the bounty hunters catch up with the two escaped slaves, and the foreman has a change of heart, helping to kill the bounty hunters.
mircea_popescu: phf http://btcbase.org/log/2013-03-01#-103915 << listen, how could this page possibly be 65.5k lines long ?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: got it. sadly i'ma have to rtfm, i am not deep expert in subj
mircea_popescu: da fuck was this then
mircea_popescu: hanbot in any case, teh days of http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-21#571597 are long behind. there's no need to further the pretense that pantsuit jewry enjoys personhood. it eminently does not. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, black girl uninspiredly picked the nick "sashalotus".
mircea_popescu: hanbot if the republic requires...
hanbot: anyway i suppose i oughta use your bimbo's contact info then, mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: Well, that and walls to keep it from threatening the china
mircea_popescu: it's built exclusively out of building blocks familiar to the cow and recognizable by it.
hanbot: ahaha, okay. i haven't seen the inside of a cow holding pen, no, fancy that.
mircea_popescu: cow holding pen has cow-facing plating on the inside. yes ? you ever seen one ?
mircea_popescu: give them emal and phones and telepheric or w./e the fuck they use.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the cows to sit on couches as a resul;t of this.
hanbot: mircea_popescu alright then, hoops it is
mircea_popescu: this'll not only make for much happier cows, but it'll also permit the purchase of some fine china.
mircea_popescu: i would like the semi-domestic animals domesticated properly, and the china safeguarded. consequently republic gotta make the step up from mongol horde into settled civilisation.
mircea_popescu: hanbot because the situation in the republic currently includes semi-domestic animals running all over the place, and in the process threatening the china.
mircea_popescu: the design of the cow holding pen is built around bovine physiology and psychology, not human aesthetic values. because it's made to hold cows.
hanbot: ...but if they're very much not people in the sense of it not being worth to craft the item sensibly to minimally accommodate their particular idiocies, why contact them at all, again?
mircea_popescu: they are what they are, and that is very much not people.
mircea_popescu: let's not worry about "what if the barn animal starts talking", in the design of the cattle prods.
mircea_popescu: these have the ability to irc that heretofore was magically undiagnosed ?
hanbot: well, say some journos or whoever want to chat. does talking to the foundation necessitate jumping through the #t voice model hoops?
hanbot: here's a question for the forum at large as i'm thinking about the missives on my plate for today: if tbf outreach is a goal, and talking to people a primary avenue of same, given the rocky road to voice in #t these days, should the foundation host its own castle-channel?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ty
asciilifeform: ( and, naturally, it gotta absolutely work 100% before there can be talk of plugging it in.. )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox at your earliest convenience to pgp to asciilifeform your notes re how pizarro exit router was configged... asciilifeform is baking a pilot replacement for subj
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : noad is up to date )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in trb observatory... http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/trb/10_4_ProcessBlock.txt
BingoBoingo: Re: earlier fashion thread. Turns out farm country is rejecting the ole trend as well http://archive.is/RYM2v >> "are you OK with your psychology "teachers" getting "teaching" materials from this website? Because I'M NOT. My kid will NOT sit thru this [...] itspronouncedmetrosexual.com "

mircea_popescu: and of course any pretense that "but mp, we here at conde nast ARE DOING SCIENCE" straight to http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/
mircea_popescu: ie, "i'm guessing you're still doing that, on the farm ?"
mircea_popescu: there's nothing less socially acceptable than last season's fashions. hence, the ~only comment on girl-interest crap, from votes to #metoo, would be http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/la-femme-ridicule.jpg
asciilifeform: Mocky: heh. sorta why i was orig reluctant to dig in & comment, i simply dun know enuff about the game mechanics
a111: Logged on 2018-10-04 16:33 asciilifeform: imho 32b is rather short for anyffing that you want to be unique, even without enemies
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1858140 >> for context, 16bit ids in eulora today ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and, as it happens to all fashions, this one meanwhile became unfashionable.
mircea_popescu: to engage in any of it, at all -- you wouldn't discourse with the girls over the relative merits of pompadours or bangs, notwithstanding the lesser value items in the sack may very well want you to.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-02 18:37 BingoBoingo: Meanwhile from other mines: "I’m active in supporting LGBT causes. My boyfriend recently said that “this whole LGBT thing has gone way too far” and that he’s no longer sure what to think about same-sex marriage, even though he had thought he supported it. Worse, he said that maybe the original civil rights movement went too far, and perhaps businesses should be allowed to racially discriminate if they want to. In fairnes
mircea_popescu: thinking about the whole it seems http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1857921 is the perfectly sufficient response to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1857986 crapolade : as http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-02#1857409 well points out, ALL the whole "lgbt rights" "women's rights" "civil rights" etc crapolade ever was -- A FASHION. it never had more substance than this, girls-deciding-what-hats-to-wear. there's nothing substantial ☝︎☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i can't remember wtf "truffles" was. << I think you figured it as girlgendered at some point
asciilifeform did sit down and 'im'a actually read this thing! nao!'
mircea_popescu: i was thinking of the other one. the file thing. brb fixing. thanks for insisting.
asciilifeform: 5.2 seems to specify as a keccak output ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's simply not specified what the id is.
asciilifeform: afaik using keccak for the 32 doesn't actually win anyffing over crc32 tho
mircea_popescu: understand, i can readily make it 256 bytes, why not, i hold the hand that holds the pen.
asciilifeform doesn't know the game board well enuff to comment meaningfully at this level, so will leave it at this
mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the storage's limited at iirc 200 items per category, and you can carry a further 90 or so, and well... so there's gonna be 100mn bits of flotsam out in the world ?
asciilifeform: recall birthday theorem, tho, you'll get ~certain collisions at <1% of this iirc
asciilifeform: but dunno. if dun need to , then prolly suffices.
mircea_popescu: how thge hell is a client gonna hold 1bn items ?
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/no-such-labs-snsa-september-2018-statement/ << Trilema - No Such lAbs (S.NSA), September 2018 Statement
asciilifeform: imho 32b is rather short for anyffing that you want to be unique, even without enemies ☟︎
mircea_popescu: idea is that if collision happens ~in same client~, then can have some unexpected behaviour.
asciilifeform: if answer is 'nuffin', would like to grasp why
asciilifeform: i don't specifically know, will depend on how it's used in the box neh
mircea_popescu: client only ever repeats ids the server produces, see. server says "here's the tree of nodes" and client may ask "what is X node"
asciilifeform: ( and it it's a mere 32bit, still seems possible for enemy to create collisions but registering 1e12 accounts and waiting for the desired 32bit id )
mircea_popescu: no cause to mention it, seeing how it's not in the protocol, it's server side
mircea_popescu: (more of the same old "omfg nobody gives a shit about our inconsequential nappy headed ho club ?!?!?!?!")
asciilifeform: or did the spec miss mentioning that it's keccak(userkey + serversecret) -> 32bits id
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2018/euloras-communication-protocol-restated/#comment-126814 << my puzzlement is in re the item where you're still using keccak as a crc
mircea_popescu: let the new hussies redo the old forms in their own flesh.
