mod6: ascii_field: parallel?!
ascii_field: ben_vulpes iirc had a few graphs
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha, 'the right screw' (tm)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field industrial engineering is a three century old history of "minimal improvements have astounding effects"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu did read the patch iirc
mircea_popescu: http://thebitcoin.foundation/OrphanageThermonukeCharts/Page_Faults.png << negative page faults o.O
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't recall ever running a node under 8gb, and for that matter that was more like 2012. i think everything now's 32.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: ~200M
mod6: which chart are you looking at mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field 4gb is pretty impressive tbh.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, it's a bot that logs a couple of channels for me
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: "the constitution is there to protect the government from having to do things... << this doctrine is almost as old as the parchment itself

assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 19:42:12; mircea_popescu: which incidentally - if anyone wants to sysadmin an aws-style offering on top of bisp metal, please get in touch. i'm open to the idea, we'd have to discuss how it would work.

jurov: mircea_popescu: f.mpif marketmaker needs some rebalancing, it has all shares with only about 3BTC left
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ ?
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu observed, 'everybody gets a death, adequate to his needs, guaranteed.' and i'd rather have mine in a 'bleriot' or holding ak, than from cancer of the tonsils
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 00:46:36; mircea_popescu: the LAST thing i want is all the idiots buzzing around IN PLANES.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: depends on whether this is the first airship or the 1111st.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as in original thread, i will point out that dirigibles (aside from being blown off-course more often than not, and being stuck doing idiotic things like venting lift gas) have gigantic radar cross-sections
asciilifeform: ^ from ben_vulpes's airplanes link
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 02:23:30; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: pigeons: let's scratch the arithmetic itch. approx. 8400 km from me to b-a. a LiMnO2 (non-rechargeable) battery yields approx. 400 Wh/kg.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: found it. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-03-2015#1075949 << that one ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes missed the thread where we 'did' this one ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato
asciilifeform: so in the 'drones' hall, they had an 'rq-3a' ( http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A20070230000 ) and its arse and mouth were glued shut
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 22:58:48; mircea_popescu: nevertheless, ~IF~ you do get some tomatoes to grow, they are yours.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, no specific details yet afaik, but this country is fucked regardless
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if only that guy with the younger queen of spades gf had had the sense to do this, you know ? "hey, i just own the team. go fire my racism guy if you don';t like my being racist"
mircea_popescu: http://38.media.tumblr.com/2493d3bccce515da983cd8e6ab5e0925/tumblr_mznsdvwQCC1r2sy0fo1_500.gif << and she's going to be a princess.
williamdunne: 23:50:31 - mircea_popescu: prolly end up richer than me. or dead, whichever comes first. <<< we're doing the KYC bs on the first exchange
williamdunne: 23:50:20 - mircea_popescu: if you're serious about this, go to a country that's not part of the usg, run a proper exchange. no kyc/bs.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Mm soft-launch of the one that I shall be re-launching soonish ^tm >>> i was thinking hm, williamdunne ran an exchange

jurov: !up yhwh_
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> at some point, once you discover that X isn't a proper master, nor Y nor Z, the realisation is forcibly dawned on you that perhaps you just suck. << the popular version of this was, iirc, 'the bad dancer is hindered by his own arse'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's only a progression to somewhere sometimes.
trinque: mircea_popescu: exactly right though; when college didn't provide that experience for me, I left it and went to work for the entrepreneurs I knew, learned there
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_field
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'd say "wow, check out the weird divide between eastern europe and the us", but it's not it. tons upon tons of livresque reference to this exact thing, in english too.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: but, to quote the standard ru prison tattoo, 'dum spiro spero'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: from schoolmaster's point of view - yes
trinque: mircea_popescu: point of my statement was that if the person's put to what they're actually best suited for, their opinion if it matters at all isn't worth hearing until they've felt what it's like
mircea_popescu: ascii_field for as long as i can remember, the entire point, of school, and of intellectual activity of young people, was to find wtf they're good for.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dhill as well iirc
mats: mircea_popescu: davec i believe
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the part about 'that was pretty much the only point of interest'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field which part ? trinque sure, yes. so then, depends who you ask ?
mircea_popescu: "TLDR I ran afl-fuzz against libbitcoinconsensus to discover interesting Bitcoin scripts and used them to search for Bitcoin reimplementations vulnerable to forking. This discovered two bugs in btcd by Conformal. See the bitcoinconsensus_testcases repository for the discovered Bitcoin scripts." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ascii_field dude i must have missed some memos here. last i recall, that was pretty much the only point of interest. i blinked and now everyone seems to be running around trying to pretend like they can do things they most obviously can't.
ascii_field: http://www.principality-hutt-river.org/gov/PHR_Govt_Notice_of_False_Misleading_&_Fraudulent_Representation.htm << this kind of thing is a major problem for 'micronation' derps. but for some reason not one has, afaik, ever contemplated pgp.
mircea_popescu: http://www.principality-hutt-river.org/gov/Media_Release/Index.htm
trinque: mircea_popescu: you can just use shitty javascript truthiness for that
trinque: !up ascii_field
trinque: mircea_popescu: JS... only winning move...
ascii_field: http://www.mcst.ru/files/523816/aa0cd8/50cb4e/000010/news_121229_2.jpg << small elbrus. also unobtainable afaik
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> bitcoin is the gold standard for everything else. that's actually what the word bitcoin means << then very clearly we don't have bitcoin yet
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the only reason you're not walking through walls is also, that you're pushing with the strength of a child.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field fuzzily, is the point.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: poorly. see sync protocol for instance.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: tandeming without a single point of failure - 'trusted' vote counter, etc. -- requires something like 'millionaire protocol' and purpose-designed iron.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> it's so stupid it can not be expressed in other words. "x86 sparc" << lol
mircea_popescu: ascii_field success comes from a very patent absence of intent.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i don't get why they'd make a x86 sparc. << this is scary. i'd think you'd lose all ops/clock-cycle optimizations doing some translation between the two right?
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:41:50; ascii_field: from standpoint of boobytraps, an example of 'worth writing home about' would be a machine 1) with pedantically open spec, to transistor level 2) with provisions for tandemming with implementations of same by other, foreign makers
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: see rest of thread
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:41:02; ascii_field: at any rate, the reason to hold off creaming your pants on this occasion, is that 1) it's yet another von neumann turd 2) enjoy trading usg boobytraps for ru variant
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:39:43; pete_dushenski: 'pay now, mebbe ship later'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: nah advertised for both
mircea_popescu: ascii_field they're prolly looking atm.
ascii_field: for approx. same reason as mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i can bitch at someone there to buy it, i imagine. prolly so can you
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: buy elbrus ... << ru corps only is the advertised offer
ascii_field: ty mircea_popescu. and pete_dushenski has it - those were lunch money, yes
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_field
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:18:59; ascii_field: to the end that thread re: whether 'we' will buy something is really a thread about whether mircea_popescu might buy something, and ought to be labeled correctly
mircea_popescu: ascii_field wait, so you're not gonna write an inquiry to the elbrus folks ?
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 17:10:43; ascii_field: mircea_popescu ^^
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'm only very marginally interested in this sort of wankery tbh.
ascii_field floored that mircea_popescu had not heard of the mega-airplane
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: wut, it connects to wireless << it casts a shadow in microwave spectrum
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: yes, saw
mircea_popescu: ascii_field https://jonasnick.github.io/blog/2015/05/09/fuzzing-bitcoin-consensus/ << you seen this ? fucking major.
