mircea_popescu: ironically, i'd make the auto tax 100x yearly average income.
asciilifeform: it so happens that i read all of the material from the naggum archive. and apparently d00d lived in oslo, a very strongly socialist hellhole, and hated it for all of the right reasons.
mircea_popescu: this is a generous read to the point of wishful thinking, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: i meant in demeanor.
asciilifeform: are we talking of same d00d? because the phf i recall sleeps in a tent, in arizona desert, surrounded by 48 virgins
asciilifeform: i must've missed one hell of a thread. where, e.g., phf was 'delicate'..?
mircea_popescu: much like his "car going off road is bad mkay" made my skin crawl. why the fuck would i ALWAYS go anywhere there's a road, what am i, too young to grow a beard ?
mircea_popescu: and otherwise, anyone recall the link to the big array/list discussion cuz i can't fucking find it
a111: Logged on 2015-11-09 04:39 phf: which brings me to the point that i have folders for all but "make new hardware" item in that list of b-a scope in various states of disarray, and it would be great if there was some prioritization, like it was the case with eulora "oh we need this done, you do it".
mircea_popescu: digging through the logs to find a point of reference for " phf that actually goes back to a thread long time ago" i found http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-09#1320422 instead. how did the proposed solution work out for you phf ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i guess they're mostly going to be double bangs from now on huh.
asciilifeform: i.e. dulap will occasionally drop zoolag! and there is currently nothing i can do to force it not to
mircea_popescu: so i tried to watch naked (2013). the most i can say is that the atrocity is a fine explanation of why there isn't such a thing as english philosophy.
ben_vulpes: https://igoradamenko.github.io/awsm.css/elements.html "div isn't styled because it doesn't have semantic value" << i like this attitude
pete_dushenski: you set the bar here, not me. i'm genuinely curious what alfatronic 'remarkable build' looks like.
asciilifeform: which q. i'm trying to work in order here
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i am on my own perversely enjoyable swim through the filth atm
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i just built a heathentron box with very similar specs, for roughly 1/4 the cost
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i swim in dark waters
ben_vulpes: i am now more completely aware of the question's stupidity, thank you all.
ben_vulpes: eh, if i'd done it against a table with two rows it'd have made sense immediately.
Framedragger: ahh..yeah it's super unintuitive, i think
ben_vulpes: the really funny thing is that i ran a similar query against a table with one row
ben_vulpes: i am going to raise my hand and ask a stupid question
mircea_popescu: i dunno, some bit about how the chinese emperors din't have covers on their beds, slept covered in women
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: i'll transition when i am ready for web scale!!
mircea_popescu: phf to quote from a film i don't recall, "niente coveri, solo corpi di tinere donne"
ben_vulpes: i regard this vast wasteland of unclaimed irc channels
mircea_popescu: i cant believe i've not translated the two girls one ?!
whaack: ty! I just finished setting up a bouncer. Re the last time I was here http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-29#1550381 my ultimate solution was just clearing my .bitcoin I believe and running it again and it did not get stuck. I never figured out why i was stuck ☝︎
ben_vulpes: (well i meant woman unattended with child for hours on end)
ben_vulpes: who is the monoagent in webtech? i see a zillion "dev", "companies" etc
ben_vulpes: yeah or why every day i come home there's some gorgeous new socialist propaganda to scour off the walls
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599758 << i have trouble reconciling the obvious correctness of this statement with the ballooning of complexity in eg webtech ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-01-12 19:32 ben_vulpes: for what it's worth, when i spot check it against other "block explorers" it's seen blocks before them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't have a proggy written, but the general idea is not monumentally arcane -- you simply work backwards
ben_vulpes: for what it's worth, when i spot check it against other "block explorers" it's seen blocks before them. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah, yeah. less than useful i suppose then if it's mostly an indicator of node state.
asciilifeform: then again, traditional hash algos 'solve' (i.e. pretend to solve) this by 'every sub-op of hashing affects all output bits' which is largely promisetronic.
asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu while sleeping i had a thought re http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function and my earlier attempt thereof likewise : that the thing may not in fact be ~collision-resistant~ (it may not be so difficult to take an arbitrary desired output and find a tape that hashes to it.)
trinque: incidentally mats, catch any of the mattis confirmation hearing? sounded to be about 50% "but what about the womens and gays?!" before I turned it off.
trinque: holy shit, I just considered making a joke that they should have seeds in them.
ben_vulpes: no i kid, it's the time at which the node shits ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-12#1601807 << i looked at his recent pieces, what a massive load of americanized 'misesian', 'randroid' claptrap. mega-snoar. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i now have to start writing an article IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING AN ARTICLE. damn you all!
mircea_popescu: actually, let me restate it in a form i better like!
mircea_popescu: fwiw i wasn't terribly impressed with that particular statement.
mircea_popescu: and yes i plant my own lovage, in buenos aires, because the plant doesn't exist and "soup condiment mix" doesn't satisfy.
mircea_popescu: davout no, not really, because i buy ~apples~. your question would be "at which point you stop buying canned frozen fruit tm for your apple pie". anyone may give his own answer, but in my case it's long, long ago.
davout: mircea_popescu: yea, i guess the question is where you stop. at which point do you decide that you're going to buy these apples instead of growing them, because ultimately you want an apple pie
davout: mircea_popescu: i see the point in general, but i'm not sure i'd take it as far as considering some additional string primitives as being evil
davout: i see your point mucho better
mircea_popescu: there's two points. one, where i saw it at the periphery and feared it may be a thing, which made me pretty pissy : http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-11#1340 and then http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-11#1374 as the issue was structuring in my head. then of course the closing comments early today morning, http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-12#323 as the thing couldn't actually be dismissed.
mircea_popescu: i know. i hadn't seen it until yesterday either.
davout: mircea_popescu: i'm afraid i don't see that particular ambiguity
davout: asciilifeform: i do
mircea_popescu: not so. i can go from everything i do in an infinite string of correct whys to prime logic. broken shit can't do that.
davout: not sure i really get what you mean by "it scales"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i quite enjoyed flailing for definitions once i realised what the problem was (you can tell i move to arrays at some point in a desperate bid etc)
mircea_popescu: on which basis i enjoy ruby a lot less.
davout: trinque: no, i just want to read the thing, not necessarily in the context of needing info about some particular bit
a111: Logged on 2017-01-12 10:08 davout: it's annoying to have to click back and forth, i'd like to be able to simply scroll through it, like a normal person
davout: it's annoying to have to click back and forth, i'd like to be able to simply scroll through it, like a normal person ☟︎
davout: not like i got on my chair, and slowly poured the whole contents of the wine bottle on mircea_popescu's head while everyone was watching in horror :D
davout: mircea_popescu: i didn't "pour a bottle on your head", i accidentally'd a wine ~glass~, at least that's what i remember!
asciilifeform: if i vanish it is safe to suppose that i was killed.
asciilifeform: i miss mike_c , he was a solid d00d.
mod6: Ah, right. Yeah, I forget what his thought was there.
asciilifeform: and mike_c was skeptical, had other hypothesis, i wish i could recall ~what~
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> waiwut i don't remember this wine event << great steaks at this place. Mr. P. had to leave and change his suit.
mircea_popescu: until a few years ago i still had stacks of those
indiancandy: how do i join web of trust
ben_vulpes: i remember all wine events
ben_vulpes: waiwut i don't remember this wine event
mircea_popescu: i dunno, coupla years ago, i've not mentioned it since so he prolly imagined it's all forgotten!!1
indiancandy: i mean when he did that
mircea_popescu: i was just sitting there!
mircea_popescu: there's this place i go for 1kg primo beef.
mircea_popescu: sure, if you eat steak I CAN HOOK YOU UP!
indiancandy: i ont even kno what eulora is
indiancandy: i kno a blonde
indiancandy: i can hook u up
mircea_popescu: i suppose eulora can be used that way huh.
jurov: i would if you were a boy model :)
indiancandy: i kno nothin about it
jurov: indiancandy: https://localbitcoins.com/ad/389150/purchase-bitcoin-transferwise-india i am selling some
mircea_popescu: i don't mean the punters, i mean the site administration.
mircea_popescu: ah. well, bitch at them i guess.
mircea_popescu: lol i meant, your fave site.
indiancandy: i asked u
mircea_popescu: i can't remember, but just ask your favorite
indiancandy: i heard
mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of camho sites that will pay you in bitcoin too i think
mircea_popescu: you don't buy it on credit in the first place, i guess.
indiancandy: i kno u did
indiancandy: mp i wanna investin btc now
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 19:10 asciilifeform: incidentally if this were me, i'd make a voyage-only wot key, rate it +1, then at the end, when getting back to home, sign statement 'my voyage key was uneventfully used N times and then incinerated' or 'pygmies stole my voyage key K and signed audacious forgeries F1, F2...' depending on how it went.
ben_vulpes: http://www.bikesdirect.com/ << i preemptively dub this best ecomm landing page experience of 2017
davout: asciilifeform phf thanks! i'll look into it, gonna start with clhs until i get back to a country where amazon delivers
phf: it opens with enough of common lisp to be useful, and then goes into actual programming problems. i think it's one of the best programming books in general.
