ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: if you'd like
a copy i can get you
a link later today
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 22:27 phf: ben_vulpes: that archive has like dozen of access points, half of them regularly disappearing,
a project for
a lisp aficionado would be to archive it before it disappears completely
ben_vulpes: i just demoted the entirety of my todo list in favor of this mining thing, which is actually
a subtask on
a thing for mod6
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody did this publicly EVER afaik ; the non-donedness of which is
a variable i keep track of in mah own models.
ben_vulpes: produced blocks that it wouldn't validate itself? throw me
a bone here
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes bear in mind that there was
a non-compatible fork cca v2.0
mircea_popescu: somehow this bunch of idiots wants me to believe that
a bovine constituency that doesn't give
a shit about turned off subway somehow actually goes out and protests the government.
mircea_popescu: this isn't after
a fire. this is because... well... the subte employees are protesting.
mod6: mircea_popescu recalls publishing the correct value somewhere (it's not exactly 21mn "bitcoin", it's
a satoshi count.) << iirc was
a trilema post
mircea_popescu recalls publishing the correct value somewhere (it's not exactly 21mn "bitcoin", it's
a satoshi count.)
mircea_popescu: more's the point, notwithstanding we got
a reprieve from "get it done by summer", we still don't have actual alternative we're happy with, so... what's the rush.
mircea_popescu: "if your coinbases do not trace to
a block subsidy, you did not pay." sort of thing.
mod6: But certainly
a step in the right direction. Will update again as they are available. Salud!
a111: Logged on 2016-12-10 19:49 mod6: This edge case being: If pub/priv keypair
A, have been sent 1.0 bitcoins on say, tx 123456789, on block 200`000. Then sent 0.5 bitcoins from pub/priv keypair
A to pubkey address B on block 250`000. If the uesr only scans back from 300`000, the balance in the wallet may not reflect the 0.5 output still there for that pubkey (from keypair
A).
mod6: An update on progress towards the privkey tools feature added [ import private key with scanning from
a specified beginHeight ]: I have proven out the edge case previously mentioned, twice, as expected. It can be resolved by doing
a -rescan at any time. So far at least.
mircea_popescu: its not altogether
a bad idea to do this ; on the contrary, it is the sort of thinking process that denotes
a healthy, functioning intellect.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 16:00 asciilifeform: as i currently understand it, you need
a 'binary star' system of two lan nodes for either to actually mine
mod6: and if it is required to be attached to at least one other node, then that may be
a problem. We could still test on
a lan, but you'd have to have two trb nodes on that lan to get past that line of code.
mod6: that i do not know. but indeed
a good test. set diff to 1, then generate
mircea_popescu: no he is right, you can mine it if you stay on
a special subnet that's isolated.
mod6: produce
a block? quit trollin'
mircea_popescu is particularly annoyed because tried to play torchlight, total clone of diablo ii with ~half the ideas. i'm not sure anyone born after 1980 can even comprehend what
a fucking insult to human reason that statement is.
mircea_popescu: fucking epileptic trees had
a seizure and took over us media production department.,
mircea_popescu: are you fucking kidding me ? bad media is becoming deeply universalized ; i made the mistake to try and watch "black mirror" because omsone said here, it's TERRIBLE from
a cinematic point of view (the idiots can't act, can't block, can't speak, can't anyfucking thing ; the whole thing's
a droned on ted talk, which is the point) and now i see it everwhere. last night tried to watch film with harvey keitel and michael cain, it
mircea_popescu suffers from
a chronic inability to distinguish the microsoft vermin.

a drug dealer and i burn down your house, you'll what ? file
a police report ? go on the local news network with
a teary eyed "no one could have predicted that if i get pissy with people who break the law for
a living i might end up with
a burned down house" ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand how software works. there's
a very clear denied middle : it is either the product of
a ~lone individual~, or else of
a corporation. there is no multiple-people-work-without-usg-foundations-and-crap in most people's minds, because there isn't such
a thing is most people's experience.
Framedragger: eh, whatevs. i redirect the masses to f.
a.q. etc as needed.
mircea_popescu: convertors, not
a bad idea. we'll have to fix everything to work with proper rsa format anyways
Framedragger: this was while testing
a script to be given to this austrian dude who wrote me, asking how to submit his server's ssh key (ssh server running on
a nonstandard port)
Framedragger: (metainfo was supposed to be different but i experienced
a derp.)
BingoBoingo: ” moment, and the organization describes itself as committed to defending "the heritage, identity and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world."" << Brian Leiter is
a notorious aspie

☟︎ phf: i think it's great if you only use twm/x11 to spawn
a couple of xterms, so you can run your mathematica and write your Fortran simulation code. sort of
a Dijkstra lisp machine, when exploratory interactivity is not the main goal. building this whole infrastructure on it was
a folly
phf: unix also had
a lot more of an organic decentralized approach, beyond mans i don't think anybody actual read anything on the subject of unix (
a few key books, like k&r or steven's on tcpip). pretty sure people would just grab the source and learn by exploration
phf: i'm pretty sure that ai memos are enough to rebuild computing from scratch. has architectural descriptions, cpu design, fabrication, language designs, text editors ("emacs" before it was taken over by rms is described in one of the ai-memos, both as
a standalone thing and as set of TECO marcos), various algorithms
phf: i think "ai research" is
a mislabel, because the promise of ai was used to keep the funding going, and there is
a lot of failed hacks on the subject, but the bulk of actual work was more about how to do computers
phf: mircea_popescu: csail (mit ai lab then) published "ai memos" from 1959 to sometime in early 2000s where they described
a lot of "firsts" in computing in general. scheme spec was published by sussman and steele, lisp 1.5 compiler (first "self-hosting"), lisp machine architecture, etc. most papers are not so much ai as computing in general.
BingoBoingo needs to get
a pet he can stand for more than
a month at
a time.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the cat situation evaluates to worse quite explainably, because if woman misbehaves and woman is beaten then 1 norm is breached ; whereas if woman misbehaves and cat is beaten then 2 norms are breached. the way reptile brain works, the sum of two variables is larger than either one no matter what happens ; and larger by
a fraction of the largest of the two, not by the smaller of the two.
mircea_popescu: anomie is NOT "
a condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals". for one thing, because it's not
a ~condition~, it's
a situation. no, these aren't the same thing. for tyhe other, becaue individuals provide guidance for society, not the other fucking way around. the "individuals who are guided by society are called children.
Framedragger: and in other "socpsy" newz,
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797616673193 << "When given two scenarios: one in which an individual reacts to his girlfriend’s infidelity by beating her, and the other, by beating her cat, participants judged that the cat beater had worse moral character than the woman beater, even though the act of beating
a woman was judged to be more immoral."
Framedragger: indeed, that's be pretty interesting. (chatter came from leaseweb, so unfortunately prolly just
a bot. but
a polite-enough bot.)
Framedragger: hm, i guess so. seems to be the case. apparently it's
a US tech company employee thingie (with some springs of PR by the companies)
Framedragger: oh yeah, i've seen quite
a bit of this on various tor irc channels
Framedragger: ^ (not saying it's not
a lost cause while working for one of those "tech" "leader" companies, in the way that applying adhesive to
a bursting pipe is not fixing
a water problem)
Framedragger: << "We, the undersigned, are employees of tech organizations and companies based in the United States. [...] We refuse to build
a database of people based on their Constitutionally-protected religious beliefs. We refuse to facilitate mass deportations of people the government believes to be undesirable. "
trinque has very little interesting code yet, just
a learning project.
trinque: asciilifeform: curious, by "consless lisp" did you mean basically
a Forth with parens? or in other words, sexps of funcs, params, and
a stack, and that's about it?
mats: ahaha photo shoot with
a raspberry pi
phf: i'm pretty sure that look is permanent. i've seen it while they negotiate with
a shopkeeper, while they cary bags, while they decide where to go, etc.
mircea_popescu: and we'll look back on the age of the "idea man" as
a great again focus.
mircea_popescu: whereas scholarship will be i dunno, screenshots of "discussions" including no equations but
a lot of "concepts" and lolpics. perhaps full of comrpession artefacts ot the point of unreadability.
mircea_popescu: and in other randomness, let there be shed
a tear today for the poor wedding photographers. i mean the expensive ones, catering to an "upper class clientele" consisting of women slightly uglier than the average with fathers slightly richer. dear god these poor people, they try. they ~try~.
mircea_popescu: it's funny, at least to me, the evolution towards fetisization. coupla decades ago, hacking meant that party
a informatizes whatever system, say its satellite network, and party b hacked into the said system through the novel avenue ~and used it~ to i dunno, whatever, make itself
a plate of french toast.
Framedragger: this means that next time i provide paginated and nicely indexed access to relational data to
a customer, i can call the feature "HACK THE SYSTEM"
mircea_popescu: actually no, lessee.
a try's about seven seconds, and then if something's found that's about another 10. you don't always find something, but if skilled enough you mostly do, so say you gotta make 4 steps
a minute. each step calls for
a random radian value, which meaningfully is about 9 bits but nevertheless comes as
a double which iirc is 64 bits. so you're doing 256 bits ie 4 bytes/minute.
BingoBoingo wonders if Monsanto has found
a mesotrione resistance gene
danielpbarron: the default method is 'line' which doesn't use rand(). but i've recently added
a method which uses rand() to choose which direction to turn before moving to the next /explore attempt
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 23:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's kinda lulzy the barrett dude never showed up, seeing how we're actually doing all he aimed to do
a lot better w/o really trying. but hey, such is the power of the inept.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 18:44 mircea_popescu: mod6 you gotta get
a blog. how am i gonna link
a dpaste in 6 months ?
Framedragger: oh, i know the issue. damn. basically as part of its "have i archived this?" check it greps through log of "i archived this:"; the "dev" instance was crawling through
a 500K logfile, the production one however has to cope with ~220M logfile. not feasible...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: don't think that's nonsense - it's simply introducing
a bias into choosing "which direction - left or right - should i prefer", no? or do you mean that it's not "realistic" and would look stupid? (maybe...)
danielpbarron: i don't see how moving forward more or less after having turned
a random angle would change the overall pattern
danielpbarron: the random from 0 to pi picks which angle to use within
a certain half of the circle (of possible angles), and adding pi to it would put it in the other half
danielpbarron: no, run walk wouldn't do it. have to get
a random number from 0 to pi and then randomly add pi to it based on
a given chance
