thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yea her and I had some good convo's about ATITD it's a great game. Not many people have played it, but the crafting system was something really intense for the time period.
mircea_popescu: i recall she played it, way back when. before btc even.
PeterL: aha, I hadn't thought of that
shinohai: i was trying to generalize. there are a lot of other places id have to look to do an objective gaming piece
shinohai: i thought of doing a piece comparing s.mg to bitcrystals but it would likely sound too biased
shinohai: *# of BTC i mean
shinohai: Now I am grateful for the prodding Sr. Popescu.
mircea_popescu: shinohai hey, it's how i ended up looking at bitcoin.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514975 <<< in retrospect, I should have mentioned that < 2/3 of this was mircea_popescu always saying "you should qntra" and me finally saying "ok. goddamn. I'll do it already." ☝︎
jurov: i just have embedded ecl in eulora and made quite a complete functionality available to it ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you know the bot totally spoiled me in the sense that i'd go with sticks, and find ords and then totally forget to lock them
danielpbarron: more i think about it, i may have gotten that sizable without foxybot, which means... I must have been fortunate enough to see it happen while xmacroing and was able to lock it in time
mircea_popescu: ordinaries i mean
mircea_popescu: o yeah i got a dozen the past ~3 days.
danielpbarron: plenty of ordinaries i got barehanded, and at least one remarkable
ben_vulpes: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f2/dc/c2/f2dcc2b9360dc2b30b1d542c131e79e5.jpg << and also holy crap i want one of these
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-05#1515200 << i think it was with a tool. maybe even an improved hoe or something ☝︎
ben_vulpes: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Palacio_do_Planalto.jpeg << this, i would wander around for a few minutes.
ben_vulpes: i mean wtf does lawn really mean "dust rectangle" to brazilians?
ben_vulpes: the photos i've seen of brasilia mostly look tacky as hell, is it any better in person?
mircea_popescu: if you run it in screen i dun see why not
mircea_popescu: i guess someone'll have to bite teh bullet and make the thing.
mircea_popescu: i use something like /bot explore 55555 line 25 1 7 7500 8500
mod6: i got it working. maybe you tell it which size you're willing to build on the fly...
mod6: oh, its (newer?) bot option i think?
mod6: what's the deal with 'size'? i put in 'small' seems to be happy. *shrug*
mircea_popescu: i had been crafting for many months, but now esp with the new mining bot expansions i think ima do some serious mining.
mircea_popescu: for instance right now, i actually used the bot to take me to the mining spot, because it does the table trick
mircea_popescu: adlai oh was it you ? anyway i recall alf wanted one. was entire thread about this.
mircea_popescu: shinohai what level is that ? im running it on a box from like ... 2005 i think
adlai: it's been mentioned although nobody but me expressed any interest; and i'd want familiarity with the regular client first, anyways
mod6: if someone where so inclined, i bet there could be a text-only eulora client created.
mod6: adlai: i run it with an asus laptop with an i5 and whatever onboard pos graphics card (intel) comes with it.
mod6: (thought i read that, might be wrong)
shinohai: i just haven't been able to get eulora-level machinery yet
mod6: so I need to pony up.
mod6: i'm kindof an asshole right now - I told diana_coman that I'd play more this year, just need to get a new box first. that was... months ago. :/
mircea_popescu: i fucking love mining with the new foxybot
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah not bad idea. i have a box playing eulora all day long
mod6: mircea_popescu sings "i did it one step at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime... i got the only one there is around" << lol, great song.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wtf i just read.
BingoBoingo: And I left, now there are 3
a111: Logged on 2016-08-05 00:40 mircea_popescu: "Testing RSA keys after generation is a fool's quest. This is a nice thing to do to detect some poor implementations, not poor keys. Moreover, it detects only certain classes of poor keys (specifically, those with small factors). It does not detect poorly seeded RNG used in an otherwise correct RSA private key generation." << god i love reading year-old webwisdom/community consensusi.

ben_vulpes: phf: did you ever release the original sources to which your mp-wp patches apply? i scanned a few days of logs and didn't see anything other than the wp-content and a few patches.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: can i get a re-link to mp-wp.tar.gz?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, idiot local glossmag had pic of i forget which celeb and her 11 or so yo daughter. who was, fitting for a child that age in summer, topless.
mircea_popescu: oh i suppose that's just a blur-out
asciilifeform: https://i.imgsafe.org/3c01aabac6.png << screenshit.
mircea_popescu: if they weren't on efnet i might even have dropped in for a hi.
asciilifeform: i got 'lucky' with the ad rotator
mats: i did also notice he's a big fan of the 'qntra is slashdot repost' line
asciilifeform: i had nfi that he reads yer site.
mircea_popescu: i expect so yeah
shinohai: I did it for the lulz.
asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu is considerably more familiar with the 'rot yer body, rot yer mind', 'clean the bath 1,001 times' sort of dope user.
asciilifeform: i am satisfied, for instance, that the boxing ring - does.
asciilifeform: not speaking of chronic brain damage here, but of 'i fuhget which one i fucked'
asciilifeform: clearly i have not been sufficiently drunk ?
mircea_popescu: this is also a large portion of why i'm so nonplussed by theoretical "improvements"
asciilifeform: i can rarely be arsed these days.
mircea_popescu: the naive "i connected to one, should be good rite???" thing dun work since late 90s
mircea_popescu: As I informed Mr. [redacted], there are treatises between the Nations of the United States and yours, I believe, Norway, which mandate compliance with the California State and Federal privacy laws respectively.
mircea_popescu: This week, due to your GNAA postings, I just suffered the loss of an important job opportunity, and contract because an individual obtained the private parts I had not intended for hand distribution. After the irc error I wrote several people on that chat ridiculed me.
ben_vulpes: i'm sure i can delete it from everyone's logs
mircea_popescu: i would like you to delete this dangerous material from the interweb and google.
mircea_popescu: i want to say that i followed some instructions provided in this website and ended up holding an unmentionable part in my hand.
ben_vulpes: "in this webinar, i will teach you how to hold your dick."
ben_vulpes: read as though you were implying i lived off setting ircd's up for folks.
ben_vulpes: i eat off what now?
asciilifeform: i still have nfi what her political place was
asciilifeform: lulzily i had just freshly come back from that part of bmore, when i read the nyooz item re the old woman.
thestringpuller: http://archive.is/wbNAk << i forgot all about that.
mircea_popescu: quite typical, too, in the elevator example. "i want things to be made to be what i thought they were going to be at no expense to me!"
asciilifeform: didn't i.
asciilifeform: i did say! typical work of heathendom.
mircea_popescu: but how the fuck does this work, i can just set my system time and send messages back to 2014 ?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck in management would say anything other than "so buy a proper phone" to employee who was like "i can't call the company"
mircea_popescu: important point i guess.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this leads us to the fundamental tmsr reform. our view is exclusive, "either it works with this or is banned" ; their view is inclusive, "either it works with this or we change the this"
mircea_popescu: i'm not advanced enough for modernity.
mircea_popescu: so why not just use irc ? i suppose these charge at some point no ?
mircea_popescu: i thought the grimy looking tual fellow had... a chat thing ?
asciilifeform: speaking of '50km monster', i always wondered why not 'intercontinental torpedo'
BingoBoingo: I dunno if thing actually has armament beyond thing next Missouri governor fired at/above lake in most recent ad
asciilifeform: i have nfi, it perhaps claims to 'engage' even martians, for all i know.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i thought they were for smugglers with subs
mircea_popescu: where's the "i'd like to not have a wall a foot behind me to reflect all napalm and ricochet on my head"
mircea_popescu: apparently i need drinks with someone to tell me who to drink with.
mircea_popescu: no idea, i've not had drinks with kalashnikov.
asciilifeform: also i would like to buy mircea_popescu's revolver that uses gas to move next round !
asciilifeform: i understand quite well that hearns, boecks, etc. are used and discarded by octopus, like condoms.
mircea_popescu: you're getting the brunt of it for your "sin" of being naively open, but whatever, you're a big enough boy to survive it i'd hope : the above orcish "when stated plainly they laugh so whatever, the face trick seems to work" is a large part of why people like rms failed without meaning to and without realising they were. much like the hurtless cut of the apple carpace.
asciilifeform: i dun like the female-gossiptronic aspect of 'i heard'
mircea_popescu: so then say "i heard"
asciilifeform: well when instead of 'boeck said...' i say 'the lizard octopus proclaimed via one of its tentacles...' folks laugh.
mircea_popescu: how am i going to answer a ghost of a question!
mircea_popescu: "VIII. But Hanno Böck explained that" / "VIII. But I heard that"
covertress: I do enjoy a good show.
asciilifeform: (i challenged the #b-a folk 'dontcha get tired of making monkey noises at mp, try being useful')
