mod6: ah, yeah, ok. i see all of 'em came in at nearly the same time. should have handled it, but looks like it got a bit confused.

mircea_popescu: prolly some race conditions i'd guess

mod6: ok, yeah, i see all of those in the file. lemme see what happened when you were entering 'em. thanks for doing that, might be a weird timing issue or something, not sure.

tb0t: Project: UCI, ID: 7, Type: I, Subject: Research and design UCI/worker interface., Antecedents: 3,4,5,6, Notes: UCI element should expose significant portions of native ability (at a very minimum networking ; math processing - CPU and VidCard ; storage - RAM and HDD) through an unified, lightweight interface. Feature load less important than simplicity.

trinque: I recall the last thread about this

mircea_popescu: %add UCI I "Research and design UCI/worker interface." "UCI element should expose significant portions of native ability (at a very minimum networking ; math processing - CPU and VidCard ; storage - RAM and HDD) through an unified, lightweight interface. Feature load less important than simplicity. " 3,4,5,6

mircea_popescu: mod6 well this has been quite energizing, i'm making a thing rightnao.

mod6: i felt like it could add flavor or meaning to some of these structured or arragned tickets.

mod6: I'm sick of "epic" tickets, so came up with a "saga". For trb, a saga is something like ``ideal bitcoin''.

mircea_popescu: ah i had it as a plaintext display for some reason.

mod6: There could be some labels made or something in the ascii graph to make it a bit more readable though, i agree with that.

mircea_popescu: maybe. i dunno.

asciilifeform: i looked for one when making s.nsa icon, had to make manually.

mircea_popescu: myeah i was looking more for a single line from credible souce. "pdf" from usg exact opposite on all scores.

mircea_popescu: eh i can't be arsed ; working on ticketizing and who the fuck is this jwz.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479258 << i don't get this. isn't the FUCKING POINT ofspending extra for "SUV" that you can drive in any direction from any point within the state of ok ? << Possibru if weather cooperates. If raining (rare) the clay soil turns into some nasty mud. ☝︎

asciilifeform: what is interesting is that - as far as i can tell - no one has ever published example of finite field system from such.

asciilifeform: i discovered that mainstream finite field libs are as complicated as they are largely because they insist on growable - and, ergo, heap-allocated - nums. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: all i get is qntra :) what's the reference BingoBoingo ?

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 19:06 shinohai: Most other Bitcoin related news sites are exact clones of each other, the ones I know of anyway. Bitcoinist is probably the worst.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479286 << not the worst of ideas ; i had them in my mercs also. depends a lot on engine, but the water pump conveyor belt was by far the largest vulnerability of the thing. have belt, 300% better reliability, need roadside servicing never as opposed to maybe once every other year. ☝︎

shinohai: Sad I know all these commands by heart already lol

mod6: those quotes are needed for the above. so i still need to update the help message. sorry about that.

mircea_popescu: mod6 i feel like it's xmas!

mircea_popescu: nice. i guess everyone just steals it from you going forward.

mod6: yeah. i did all the work to get it into the wot, plus a L1 from me, plus code to auth/voice itself.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, always been land of banditry.

asciilifeform: re this, and http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479380 , i am left to wonder why the plunder is not carried out in or near, e.g., airports, train stations. ☝︎

asciilifeform: for some reason i pictured that when i get to stop using alarms i will sleep, sleep...

mircea_popescu: i think it;'s what adults sleep.

mircea_popescu: speaking of side effects : this morn i woke up, executed a bottle of champagne with homemade apple pie and scantily clad damsels to the backing of 70s/80s italian made-for-tv comedies (atti impuri, anyone ever seen ? THAT is how you make shit for the tv!).

asciilifeform: where i'm from, the dope used to make intolerable - tolerable - is vodka

mircea_popescu: you could, and moreover i have been.

asciilifeform: inhibition against cracking skull, is what i meant

mircea_popescu: first off, "losens inhibitions", tell you what, igot plenty of inhibited derps drunk when i was a teen. best sex was still in between the thighs of the sluts.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 15:20 asciilifeform: i'm still quite unconvinced that empire is better off selling, e.g., the usual vodka, in shops, than meth.

trinque: aw I was hoping that one came from trump

shinohai: I'll do it Hillary since you said so.

shinohai: Most other Bitcoin related news sites are exact clones of each other, the ones I know of anyway. Bitcoinist is probably the worst. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: If you add being insufferable pricks to the second part while overdoing it on memes (i.e. you don't have content because everything is a forced meme) you end up with the Gawker media formula.

shinohai: I liek.

BingoBoingo: Fine shinohai I'll show you how to handle this.

BingoBoingo: Maybe write that was possible? I have no idea what you are talking about.

shinohai: I suspect there was no hack, it is merely cross-ref'd data from the other 3 hacks by peace.

shinohai: I didn't do story on supposed twitter hack because unverifiable ... yet it is on front page of r/bitcoin.

asciilifeform: trinque: i'd imagine this would trigger the standard fraud freeze

trinque: I'm sure it is

trinque: hell I just got prequalified for some loans in my mail

asciilifeform: i imagine in 20 yrs we'll be payin' for 'Police Pre✓™ Experience" where if you have membership card, they probe yer rectum with velvet, instead of hedgehog, gloves...

phf: fwiw doing using ITA for booking i mostly get delta or american airlines for local flights anyway

asciilifeform: when i came back from mircea_popescu's c3, they let me in past customs via the door the pilots use.

phf: there's also "global entry" which i haven't looked into

asciilifeform: phf: i signed up, it is ~scam

phf: which reminds me, i gotta sign up for that PRE shit..

phf: i'm not sure how these kinds of liquids interact with tsa

asciilifeform: i imagine trinque spends much time in the desert

trinque: hey man, you have your paranoia; I have mine

trinque: I have a station wagon so I have room for shit in the back

asciilifeform: i always found it interesting how most american folk don't keep first aid kit, of even the most spartan sort, in their car

phf: asciilifeform: i opened up my heel at a beach last time and sent my friends to buy me supplies "i need tincture of iodine and cyanoacrylate glue please" "... maybe just some HealFastQuick-E instead???"

shinohai: I used superglue when I played guitar for callous enhancement.

BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Anyways I think the US patched the "play crazy" exploit

phf: or that loratadine is available in 50 different branded variations, but its metabolite desloratadine you need a prescription for. every time i'd ask an allergist for one he'll say "just buy <loratadine brand> it's the same thing"

phf: i like how in u.s. "pharmacies" you can buy 50mg diphenhydramine as a sleep aid for a few cents a pill, and as an anti-hestamine for $20 for 10

danielpbarron: oklahoma has a true church -- if i were to move within the states, I'd prolly go there

asciilifeform: (incidentally, didn't i predict the return of door-to-door tax collector ?! a few yrs ago.)

asciilifeform: i'm still quite unconvinced that empire is better off selling, e.g., the usual vodka, in shops, than meth. ☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i am curious re the role meth plays.

shinohai: Yeah think I will watch it and see if any more verifiable info leaks.

BingoBoingo: I guess it's worth a mention if you keep it short and end it with "Was this yet another social media liberation by Peace? Him in our time."

shinohai: I personally don't know anyone there.

BingoBoingo: ~225 usd and I'd turn it into grass this fall when its planting time ~350 usd I'd even return in the spring to make sure it is still grass over summer 2017

mircea_popescu: i bought more plastic wrap than that.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, since year 6100 after creation ?

asciilifeform: the way i read pg's thing, it was reasonably sane, hypothesis being that bad investment is more like pouring petron into a leaky tank, you don't ~think~ you've destroyed it

mircea_popescu: "i thought she meant she's affraid for the world on my account! honest i did! but no, turns out..."

mircea_popescu: where the fuck'\s the part where the idiot goes "oh, NOW i get what mom meant!"

mircea_popescu: funny how this works, with inept kids. first it's all "but i wouldn't shoot without a cause, i'd gun nobody down"

asciilifeform: for some reason, whenever i think of 'early adopters' and voorheeses who 'lost it all', i think of the proverbial monkey trap with the gourd full of goodies

asciilifeform: and, if i read correctly, his descendants live in rent

asciilifeform: hm i recall this for some reason

shinohai: I dunno re: voorhees. Ver seems to have poured his into some shitty gambling page on his btc site.

asciilifeform: ftr, what i said re voorhees's dice in feb. '13: 'Satoshi Dice is a can of worms which almost deserves its own discussion. It is, at its core, a simple “numbers game.” That is to say, an industrial-strength harvester of chump money, precisely the kind of thing which Popescu expresses his disdain for at every opportunity. But listing its stock on MPEx does not bother him, because there are suff

shinohai: And I thank you. Incredible that public officials blindly send funds like that.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 16:21 phf: i think there are different levels and roles within the system, but i know for a fact that sci people are effective at bureaucrat, there's a number of them at capitol hill, doing internships with senators... (if we haven't before, t-a is now definitely suppresive)

asciilifeform: 'i'm boooored.' 'i'ma pound a nail through my scrotum'

a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 16:21 asciilifeform: i admit, i've always been fascinated with the folks who show up to be eaten. what motivates them? is it something like the participants in pyramid scheme ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: best as i can tell it has ~0 traction outside of usa now.

mircea_popescu: i equally can't explain the hair.

mircea_popescu: tbh i never met anyone who was into the dumb shit. imo it's an 80s thing.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-08 15:57 phf: yeah, there were a few options, but too far of a drive from philadelphia. now that i'm in dc, i might take a stab at wv

mircea_popescu: i got here a pile of utility bills stapled into loose envelopes.
