mircea_popescu: as the "business" (in the sense of pretending to sv vc, that sorty of thing) portion of the larger prb ecosystem is running into a very marked bitcoin winter (recall, bitpay axed most of the crew a year ago), the ramen support for the "tech" side of prb (various mendacious scumbags like luke-jr, assorted imbeciles like taaki or that idiot who emailed the entire customer base the email addresses of the entire customer base, "p
mircea_popescu: basically sometime in 2014 the fake bitcoin dorks discovered that their "technology" doesn't work, and sort-of split it into "the working part" and "the frontend part". they evolved undesignedly sort-of independetly, now there's a shambling abomination and a writhing horror.
asciilifeform: it is possible to remove'em, trivially. this will result in banning 'pingers' and a hard break with prbnet.
asciilifeform: trinque: as a matter of fact, no: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#2097 << it was grandfathered in
trinque: ping is not already considered a heathen command?
asciilifeform: could simply add anybody who emits a 'ping' to banlist. ☟︎
asciilifeform: he doesn't get a 'pong' back, and so sits there like idiot
asciilifeform: but what this results in is a deadweight peer
asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=0.6.1rc1#2691 << prb 0.6.1rc1 introduced a 'heartbeat' mechanism, where a prb node seeing ver. > 60000 ( see http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/version.h?v=0.6.1rc1#0045 ) sends 'pings' and expects back 'pong'
mircea_popescu: and in other 2014s, http://trilema.com/2014/a-humble-proposal-to-bitcoin-miners/
mircea_popescu: we should probably make a barrack obama center.
trinque: Trump used a morning visit to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture to offer his condemnation << wahaha, "what group of whiners is this again? oh whatever"
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/4WtAT << goes with previous. mr.t is being set up as '“The President’s sudden acknowledgement is a Band-Aid on the cancer of anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration,” Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center ...'
ben_vulpes: well see that's your problem, you have standards and a breadth of experience and shit
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit what half-assed performance dumbass delivers "within the constraints of her education"
mircea_popescu: i kinda went through a whole pile of this in the 80s, tyvm but i didn't think it was very good back then, either.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it's an american cultural artifact ca. 2016; let us marvel that the scriptwriters were allowed to ship the scene where ed harris drags blondie into a shed by her hair
asciilifeform: 'Determining whether poison killed the half brother of North Korea’s leader in a busy airport is proving difficult for Malaysian officials, who said on Tuesday that autopsy results have so far been inconclusive. ... Kim did not suffer a heart attack and had no puncture wounds, such as those a needle would have left ... '
mircea_popescu: otherwise it's like going to a brothel where this petite asian DOES suck your cock on her knees looking up, however the whole place reeks of cabbage stu and there's a naggy old woman always heard in the background.
asciilifeform: these are becoming a regular thing.
mircea_popescu: what varies is how obvious it is, but at the core, the whole thing is someone's splooge spread out on a napkin pretending to be "an idea". it's not an idea, partly because it doesn't use ink, and partly because those aren't letters.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole lot of bickering, pointless and evidently there for the needs of inept script writers who "we didn't know how to write for a woman", except thye don't know how to write for powerful people, or ambitious people, or in general people. notwithstanding they maintain delusions of belonging to some/all those categories.
ben_vulpes: quite a bit of whorin and dyin
ben_vulpes: a quick skim of something purporting to be a script for ep1 suggests they don't show up in episode one!
BingoBoingo: !~later tell veen Please 2 submit a Qntra piece on clozure's connections to the Pizza Pedos
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> clearly you staple them together from human parts one finds at walmart << You spray a big glob of expanding foam and then gab hammer to smith glob into baby shape
ben_vulpes: runs a tight ship, i'm proud to serve with the man.
mircea_popescu: should be a step in between "hi" and "ok, go write your own v implementation / log bot". "write the news, man" could work as well.
mircea_popescu: not a bad approach altogether.
mircea_popescu: "oh my god, AND HE HAS A CAR"
mircea_popescu: well... for all the crowing about "this is who i am", these heterosexual females almopst always got diddled as a kid by somebody also.
trinque: for all this crowing about "this is who I am", these milo types almost always got diddled as a kid by somebody.
mircea_popescu: well, historically pedophilia is a sort of homosexuality. it got a little coopted to mean "children", it really is little boys.
veen: http://archive.is/QLSAy << "'Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty,' [Yiannopoulos] adds, dismissing the fact that 13-year-olds are children.”
veen: i've been enjoying this little stitch-n-bitch from afar, thought i might indulge in the pick-a-little talk-a-little
mircea_popescu: "illegal" is rapidly becoming a set item with "our democracy" and "human rights" etc to simply denote the current embodiment of racism.
ben_vulpes: a website can be illegal, dontcha know.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/tYLy1 << in other lulz, 'Search engine companies Google and Bing have signed up to a voluntary code of practice aimed at preventing users from visiting' 1337 w4r3z.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a baker.
mircea_popescu: if guy;s a fucking baker with three mortgaqes insurance won't pay out
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, us has been sending nothing but ex-cheerleaders/strippers. current one's a certain nikki do anything)
ben_vulpes: how's it so terribly obvious that this is a western nailgun job?
ben_vulpes: bisect until success is evident on a branch, classic
pete_dushenski: the sucker punched broad isn't much of a marketer. it's very loosely defined. there must be 100 hashtags by now, each with 15 retweets and therefore all equally legitimate.
pete_dushenski: denial : not just a river in egypt, also a way of life for swamp establishment
mircea_popescu: it must suck for the hundreds of thousands of idiots who read on trilema that they will be out a job and without the "career" back in 2014 discovering in 2017 that they are just about out of the job and there was no "Career"
mircea_popescu: " Mr. Trump, apparently seeking to cut the intelligence community, State Department, and other agencies out of the policy-making process almost entirely, may have triggered a conflict whose escalation we are seeing"
mircea_popescu: trump stonewalled them, the whole thing went nowhere, now he's going to make an example out of the woman retracing the "congrats on geting obama elected ; no black man will ever be president again he did such a shiot job of it" and it's yet another 1-0 for him.
mircea_popescu: pretty funny how this bs fizzled. teh gawkerblishment figured it's going to "make trump look unpresidential" through "leaking everything!!!" then got walsh to say a few things out of line and ran the presses AS IF some sort of leakpocalypse had in fact occured.
mircea_popescu: as a minor point : by now whether the speaker calls the usa "us" or "america" makes for a rather decent heuristic.
mircea_popescu: make a regime of "the working man", end up with a regime of "the working man". duh.
mircea_popescu: all those "teams" + a coupla lords would buy them a log reader.
mircea_popescu: supposedly all the current schmucks are "doing what they love" and will keep right on doing it in theface of no longer geting paid an arm and a leg
trinque: "white house needs a staff shrink!!!"
BingoBoingo: No one wants to risk 6 months lost rehabbing a shoulder after fat weirdo stuggles against honest attempt a help
mircea_popescu: try this yourself, wait for fat weirdo to start whining about being raped at a party, walk up to her and sucker punch her. just literally, knock her lights out.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a riot to read all the cuckacademics going on importantly about how "trump will radicalize the left".
mircea_popescu: the deplorables are taking over the media, it's a carnage. fox news + breitbart to replace cnn + nyt.
mircea_popescu: a bit open-ended, i expect for the right guy it;s the door into eulora devteam.
ben_vulpes makes a note to write 'the emacs claw legacy continues' in two years
deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/02/20/the-eames-lounge-legacy-continues/ << » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - The Eames Lounge legacy continues.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, any python experts looking for a spot of work ? there's this side project opened up in eulora that's jus' perfect.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron surprising no one, a) there was exactly no work done by the "engineering" company uber, at any point and b) piles of worthless bureaucratys each trying to use their own brand of identity politicsw to "get on top"
danielpbarron: https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber >> they said that I didn't show any signs of an upward career trajectory. I pointed out that I was publishing a book with O'Reilly, speaking at major tech conferences, and doing all of the things that you're supposed to do to have an "upward career trajectory", but they said it didn't matter and I needed to prove myself as an engineer. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: half the piece is about dumbass half-transparent overlays and making me a sandwich while shutting the fuck up.
hanbot: you figure this wallet in particular has a pox?
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615687 << fwiw, receiving wallet does see amt sent. meanwhile trb restarted with -rescan shows same balance as before, which we now realize *had changed* following transaction just...not by amt sent. to wit, listtransactions sees original balance, sees correct sent amt with fee, nevertheless balance via getinfo has mystery-difference. which shows as a negative, and only value, via listaccounts. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ahaha. so basically... they give up, right ? unix-like ie 100% of the net infrastructure. prb is officially a toy, not to be run seriously.
asciilifeform: but a serious adaist avoids using heap at all!
asciilifeform: mod6: the bulk of what takes 'getting used to' in ada is not the syntax, but the forced sanity, e.g. you get (grudgingly) a malloc, but not a free! idea being, you get to pick a memory footprint and LIVE in it
mircea_popescu: they got a problem, blockchain hasn't fit on any tablet apple markets for a year
asciilifeform has been experimenting with a proggy that 'rides' a trb node, and takes over all comms with outside world
mircea_popescu: can't fault a man for that.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> some kind of share-able listener tmsr infrastructure. has a lot to do with the uci project. << yeah, many exciting things are starting to open up.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> it's kinda covered in teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format thing'd be a good idea << yeah, I like the idea.
asciilifeform: for now it'd be useful to simply be able to ask a proper node to search mempool and recent blocks
mircea_popescu: some kind of share-able listener tmsr infrastructure. has a lot to do with the uci project.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu provoked again my ancient itch for a tx debugger
asciilifeform: and yes, i revved up a fully mod6tronic trb to have what to patch against, my working copies are quite dated
mircea_popescu: it's not an event is what he means. was a thing for a while now, it's just incidentally been brought up
mircea_popescu: it's kinda covered in teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format thing'd be a good idea
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mod6's thing worked for a while now
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, mod6 : next mega-advance will probably be to make it self-reproducing - i.e. to shit out a bootable hdd with itself. i experimented with this in the pogo era but hung up at the time on buildroot freezing, which was since solved by mod6
mod6: doesn't leave a lot for cover for the birds. we hunt in the snow, until it becomes un-walkable. once i did through 3-4 ft. drifts, and nearly had a cardiac event.
mod6: mircea_popescu: today was a gift. usually never hunt by this time of year -- too cold, too much snow in the fields.
mircea_popescu: as in, apple "could buy russia", but can't v in a year.
mircea_popescu: myeah, to borrow alfism, it's unclear what the megawatt of iron folk would have even done re this. it's not, afaik, a matter approacheable by corporate america.
mircea_popescu: (and of course it's only 16 months in a very loose measuring, original v was published the very same month)
a111: Logged on 2015-08-05 13:38 mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's glorious to watch. i would say we have a complete, reliable and quite elegant solution to the original mandate
asciilifeform reports a successful replication of mod6's recipe http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html , 'offline' variant, using his vtron etc. took exactly 40 minutes from the instance of making an empty dir to do it in, to having <5MB finished binary in my hands.
mod6: The unusually warm weather provided me a banner day of hunting. Got seven myself. http://www.mod6.net/hunting_20170219.jpg
mircea_popescu: but actually the fact that i think we'd lose out on a lot of value by not doing the v-tron thing here.
asciilifeform: let's say 'pseudonode' is that which one makes, if you have 1,001 boxes with acceptable bandwidth, but small disk. (e.g., a botnet.)
mircea_popescu: the reason i hesitate to publish the extensive mp alien techs wrt bitcoin infrastructure isn't simply the sheer size ; nor merely the political consideration of, "hey, there's a lot of value in enemy not actually knowing what mp capabilities are -- as widely exemplified in the public sphere by the march cartel trampling among who knows what private adventures"
mircea_popescu: but this is also where heterogenicity of implementation is a major republican asset.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating the correct way to make pseudonodes. way i see it is, it should still maintain a cache of recent blocks, and have a backhaul to mothership controlled by owner to request signed block checksums, and whole blocks if cache does not find; rather than accepting crapolade from randos
mircea_popescu: yes, because you don't want to commit the serious resources needed for a node on each of these boxen.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 19:13 mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become
asciilifeform: ^ these include strictly those folx who built with versionstring knob. or rather, some quite arbitrary subset thereof (i.e. those not in a black hole atm)
