mircea_popescu: anyway, tbh i'm mostly encouraging the utter collapse of freenode's "security" model. it should be obvious that lode/ae dorks could just as well REGISTER the spambots. it's a fully automated process, what's the problem, emails ? gimme a break. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as unlikely as it seems ; and it does seem. waves are the result of earth's existence, and the only way to conquer resistance of the medium is to make it work for you.

mircea_popescu: anyway ; none of this is intended to discourage anyone from inviting people over. but exactly as detailed in ye things have changed article, the "general population" of herbivores has lost the franchise of coming here of own power. it'll be invite only.
mircea_popescu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avram_Steuerman-Rodion << even better example, "Steuerman himself is often described as an obscure contributor to Romanian literature, but survives in cultural memory for having given a poetic voice to the ideals of Jewish integration. "
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, the .ar/.uy folk thought they could jury-rig a sort of 'alt-europe'.
mircea_popescu: as per ye olde http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/#selection-121.0-121.824
asciilifeform: 'Relgis lived the final decade of his life as a pensioner of the Uruguayan state—in 1985, a law raised his pensión graciable to 20,000 new pesos a month' << lol
mircea_popescu: in other ~equivalent lulz, the jewish lobby has undergone some massive effort to publicize romanian-born early 20th century jewry, resulting in huge wikipediaballs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Relgis
mircea_popescu: exactly the same substance as the "artwork" basis of http://maddox.xmission.com/irule_.html ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839243 << attempting one as we speak ( if no dice, will reflash the vacant rk with classical img ) ☝︎
ben_vulpes: billing as soon as the price signal is set avoids further waffling over spread between when price signal is set and when bills go out. necessarily entails a move to billing in advance.
trinque isn't pissed, just asking the question, as I didn't see an announcement
mod6: ben_vulpes said at the end of last month that I should send the august ones as soon as I have the price point. which is also what I committed to doing when we had this last go-around a week ago.

BingoBoingo: And it's still seeing use as a desk.
asciilifeform: just the same as the pizza was 'bitcoin pizza'.
asciilifeform: it remains troo, today! just as in 2010, if you buy a bottle of vodka -- that's a 'bitcoin vodka'.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did http://trilema.com/2018/no-such-labs-snsa-july-2018-statement/#selection-463.0-465.3 actually generate hate mail ? it didn't strike me as controversial at all
mod6: if I wanted to bid on the wFF (wired filthy fiats), i might for instance take the current price, $7,333 USD/BTC price and then bid as such:
mod6: So let's talk through this a bit, I want to try to understand fully here, and perhaps others do as well...
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. so it turns out "2 slot" is really 2010s era fakery, not really used as such. and i fell for it!
asciilifeform: pcie is the current pci ( as seen in e.g. the pizarro boxen )
mircea_popescu: sure as fuck it isn't the level of mess of usb.
asciilifeform: but point being, 'killer scope' won't be plugged into same bus as soundblaster16...

mircea_popescu: yes, you miss out on downloading sony camera contents in such a manner as the "your media contains pictures!!!" popup can shoot "usefully fast". this is not a permitted usecase anyway.
mircea_popescu: 1-3 is exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-01#1838591 ; 1-2 is FG ; 2-3 is science, as in http://trilema.com/2017/is-it-still-rape-if-i-write-science-on-my-penis-first/ item. ☝︎

asciilifeform: diana_coman: interestingly, in my (conventional gentoo) userland, worked as posted ( i.e. with the newline )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is there some way to connect as a tty bypass the usb altogether ? i really dun wanna include usb if can be helped.
asciilifeform: ( the above is == to the 'Tip for Linux Users' item in http://nosuchlabs.com/hardware.html , which i listed as workaround for 'more than 3 pl2303' infamous bugola )
mircea_popescu: as in, "i checked, we don't have" or as in "we couldn't possibly have something this fucking stupid o oops there it is how the hell did it sneak in"
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I get as I recalled this "[63939.499700] pl2303 ttyUSB0: usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback - urb stopped: -32" but I don't see the others, hmm
diana_coman: mod6, I'd say don't worry about it; as a rule though productive people do stuff, not as if they need to "say" productively things
asciilifeform: the given 'solution' is absolutely prohibited for FG, tho, it ~must~ operate as blocking read

diana_coman: myeah, as battlefield solution that might be the direction to take
diana_coman: <asciilifeform> i suspect an oddity with the linux tty subsystem. the Right Thing solution would be to find it. the alternative, ugly solution, is 1) 512 byte buffered reads 2) with timeout . -> this is pretty much my current understanding as well
diana_coman: anyways, dd hangs *sometimes*, harder to pin down ; ftr I DID go and read the dd code too but I can't say I'm any wiser as to why/how it is more resilient
diana_coman: aha; good to know at least it's not *just* that machine; might be worth to try replicating the dd hang as well , although by now I expect it will happen
diana_coman: asciilifeform, any clue as to cause?
diana_coman: I start suspecting it's maybe something to do with short+frequent reads as weirdly enough tests that read 4096 bytes seem... fine
douchebag: Things are going very well, next month we're going to have a lot of news coverage due to some audits we did. We managed to find tons of 0days in an open source medical CMS as well as a IP Relay service used in much of Canada.
mircea_popescu: it was supposed to be "christian". as in, "they're who you're gonna run into in heaven, god's own most beloved children, the idiots."
mircea_popescu: no, because the cure would have been for their father to tie them to the same bed post as the stupid mother and beat both senseless the moment the "oh you're special and can do anything" nonsense came out of her mouth.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but think about it. could have had shinohai's lordship, if only ritalin actually worked as an add cure.
BingoBoingo: mod6: There's the douchebag one as well. I am waiting on alf to give the order before I touch either of them.
asciilifeform: and they ~all do shenanigans with multiple slow ADCs masquerading as 1 fast one
asciilifeform: in other noose, since 1st time i asked the q in 2013, appears that there is ~to this day~ not such a thing as a 1Ghz oscilloscope with any linux support whatsoever.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, that's literally what ended up as main test because convenient: it attempts to generate 11 "dirty float" random numbers using 4 random octets from fg; first number there is number of repetitions; second number chooses what test to run (if you run only ./tests 11 without 2nd number it will print the list of what it knows to do)
asciilifeform: rather, ruled out as primary cause, could easily be the ultimate barf source in conjunction with 1 / 2
BingoBoingo: Well, one other thing we can do is switch one or both usb ttl cables. As mentioned earlier one of the cables is the "blue" style that shipped with earlier FUCKGOATs http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-12#1833809 ☝︎
diana_coman: as it is, it will have to wait until tomorrow anyway as atm I'm a bit at a loss wtf
diana_coman: basically as the "wobble" initially reported: if only one fg is set, then first read via dd hangs just the same
a111: Logged on 2018-07-12 13:49 diana_coman: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo access to box & config confirmed; FG on ttysUSB0 had a wobble at first and I don't understand why: I ran the stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw -echo -echoe -echok and then tried dd iflag=fullblock if=/dev/ttyUSB0 | hexdump -C but nothing came up; then I ran the stty on usb1 as well and tried again and it...worked; any idea wtf was that at first?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ahaha dadatroll; but now I see why it didn't even ring a bell at all as I probably missed the comments section there/didn't follow it
mircea_popescu: zombie is not just (as an inexistent, imaginary "manual" mentally reconstructed from the pile of gunk they published purports to hint) an entry in the table to permit the caller to clean up correctly. it is ALL SORTS of things, and generally of the getting in the way kind.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I don't recall it but sounds apt (as dr. a does wherever I read him)
phf: henceforth any attempts to expose the activities of the secret society of illuminated fraudsters shall be denounced as a ravings of delusional paranoids
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform did not write the linux i/o subsystem ; nor the pl2303 kernel mod ; and will readily admit that they are sad. and if anyone has idea for some other means to connect a 115200 baud box to machine, that does not suffer from the weakness of these, i'm as always all ears )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/patches/eucrypt_manifest/tree/eucrypt/smg_rsa/truerandom.c#L65 << incidentally this is erroneous. a correctly-inited FG will never produce interrupt ( the tty ~must not~ interpret 0x03 as control char, it must return all octets verbatim )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I even have the .sh + set it in cron, yes; the thing is that code has no idea so it would logically set it up as it wants it but...
diana_coman: it should be, yes; as far as I can tell at a quick look at truerandom.c it is too
diana_coman: uhm, for one thing: it's init in c code as well so..uhm
asciilifeform: btw i oughta mention , i had to resort to a modified vdiff.sh : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/rB9AD/?raw=true for ch11 , as the ada comment syntax causes inbandism barf with classic vdiff.sh when deleting or modifying the comment headers at the start of ffa modules

mircea_popescu: yes, as to the climate, it's perfect and eternal spring. yes, as to the land, it's fucking beautiful, and the pineapple is fabulous and the coffee is best-in-the-world and so on.
mircea_popescu: intellectual sophistication to cut it as a slavegirl in my harem. i said before, "There's not who'd compete and there's not how to compete with her, it's a laughable proposition, like a samurai at a kindergarten." and yes that is after training. but all the training in the world can't help the instant kindergartner.

asciilifeform: i recall his theory that it generates better chix, somehow. but still strikes me as ugh.
lobbes: clear communication is definitely a weak point of mine, and from what I can tell stems from my own unorganized mental processes. But as a semi-related side-note: Finally having a sane blogging tool is doing wonders for remedying the foregoing.
mircea_popescu: lobbes nothing wrong with that. i think it's both sound a decision in general and your call to make in any case. but it gotta be communicated as such.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-09 21:24 lobbes: mod6 I would gladly work to earn that grant. As it is, I already need to get the 'legacy' auctionbot away from heathen dependencies (in this case, the 'supybot' api), so in building this custom auctionbot for pizarro I may just take the opportunity to design something sitting atop ircbot/logbot and eventually release a proper genesis

mircea_popescu: art is condemned as "lacking broad meaning" or as "unrelated to real life" these accusations often disguise the fear that the exact opposite is true -- that this deviation has too much meaning and bears too acute a relation to life to be reconciled with the common myth."
mircea_popescu: "But the genuine work of art, going past the formulated common experience, may succeed in communicating the common situation -- all too clearly from the point of view of the guardians of stasis. I doubt that those in authority would be so violently opposed to authentic art if, as they claim, it revealed only the private personality of the artist and had no further reference. On the contrary, I am inclined to believe that when

mircea_popescu: and that the failure works exactly as rosenberg describes : in trying to elide the commonality to situation, they recourse to a hallucinary commonality of experience, and method.
mircea_popescu: and that it hasn't merely failed happenstantially, but that it has failed necessarily and substantially : there can not be such a thing as a herd pov of human experience, simply because herd perspectives are falsifying, and in THAT of being of the many, therefore they are false.

diana_coman: ok, invoice me as ^ for 1 year then please, mod6
trinque: there are a finite amount of "the interface slipped thousands of funnybux between auction and invoice" that I will eat, and I will proably eat more of them than other customers that don't know you as well
mircea_popescu: there is some wiggle room in the sense that banks are unreliable and so if it does come out it's impossible to wire as intended, the trade just unwinds.
mod6: The fact is, until we have a steady stream of usd coming in, I hesitate to put a date on it -- can only say at this time, "will do best to have them out as soon as we can after the auction". It's my fault that I didn't start invoicing right away. I mearly did not, because I thought that these were sent at the end of the month.
mod6: We ideally want to do them as soon as the price signal is placed.
mod6: (these invoices are coming in way late -- should have been done as soon as the price point was set)
