asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had the http logz scrolling in a terminal since hour 0
asciilifeform: i banned all aws from everything i operate
asciilifeform: iirc i do.
jurov: no, i tried curl from aws
mircea_popescu: i guess they got rid of simple get req's
asciilifeform: where, i suspect, the only folks able to connect to the trb node on same box are also us.
asciilifeform: i am, incidentally, readying the 8ball.
mircea_popescu: i see it.
asciilifeform: (they bought the outfit i was in at the time, hilarious story for another time) ☟︎
asciilifeform: (lulzily i was working for reuters at the time and had to keep from laughing/gagging)
mircea_popescu: and this is why i won't talk to any of them, unless in this manner.
asciilifeform: i was actually interviewed by a hitler organ as a young man
ben_vulpes: yeah, once i browbeat my parents into moving me to a school with a decent physics and math program things picked up.
mircea_popescu: "My mom did the beds. I did the bedwarming. A memoir."
ben_vulpes: yes i grew up in ahotel
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> look i didn't grow up on usenet it's nyoooooz to me << your third grade sucks compared to his third grade!!!
jurov: i do remember it being discussed too
ben_vulpes: look i didn't grow up on usenet it's nyoooooz to me
ben_vulpes: from the annals of perverse technology reuse: http://i.imgur.com/ctEveER.jpg
mircea_popescu: hey i thought you were busy vulpes.
mircea_popescu: no idea where that's at by now, and i suspect everyone involved would much rather not even look at the discussion.
asciilifeform: i could do it with a few hundred metres of it
mircea_popescu: I BLAME YOU.
mircea_popescu: and you'll have to desist with that, by the way. yesterday girl burst into tears in subte because i went "you don't understand fractions. pick up a third grade book, or at least it was third grade in romania, whatever highschool / college course it is in english, and study fractions."
mircea_popescu: i suspect nobody really went to YOUR third grade, alf.
mircea_popescu: and by "sun" i mean "earth" for all the difference this makes.
asciilifeform: where do you think i was playing with it
mircea_popescu: actually i'm surprised not more radioastronomy effort is put into this. imagine if you will : array of a few million km long fibers, arranged inside a cylinder, in layers by angstrom thichness from 1mn on the bottom to 1 A on the top, in a circular pattern at 0.001 rads apart each.
asciilifeform: but will need 2 of'em, since i no longer have access to mass spec
mircea_popescu: this sounds more like a job of "if i had the she-thieves" than $$$
asciilifeform: if i had $$$, would try to score some existing scintillator and put it through ms and get their dopant.
mircea_popescu: anywya. my solid state is dusty. i dun recall what all this was.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm begging.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be said for the record that if anyone wants to move here and do the job, and we can keep costs within sanity, i'd definitely considering making a plant and exporting the product freely
mircea_popescu: i dunno...
mircea_popescu: you just wanted me to step into the dark. i did.
phf: I think ! conflicts with deedbot though
mircea_popescu: i dunno, this being unknown unknown. but as an example : take hard porous material (say, metallic carbide), cut into thin slice, heat to 3k, pour melted glas on top, let some of it find its way through necessarily open pores (ceramic is thin), select from the results usable fibers.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-01#1460008 << yah ascii already asked for the feature. I was moving between apartments, so will go back to hacking in a day or two ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're thinking "every sperm is sacred" style. think al schwarz "i really dun care if i waste 99% of the glass" style.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: briefly back to the fiber, from what i saw last night, one would need about 20cm for ideal rng.
mircea_popescu: there seems to be no use made of it. i was tempted to make this into a qntra piece, but...

mod6: i need some random numbers
mod6: err, i was as thinking 56, but hell i dunn
mod6: i need a lab, and some co-57
mod6: i <3 s.nsa
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> by now the phuctor rss is actually a major reason to watch this chan. i have nfi how one could be "in crypto/compsec/sysadmin" and NOT want to see the key holes in real time. << the congressional record is reason enough; but with broadcasted ass fuckings, all the more reason indeed Sir.
mod6: <+adlai> mod6: and i say this with greatest regard for alf, but i will probably get more "12step" mileage out of your T-shirt (of the hair variety, sadly, but trimmer than orgmode!) than trb and phuctor, combined << wut? you lost me there amigo.
hanbot: i wouldn't be at all surprised if w/e tranquil pools of the republic are rippled with social engineering attempts
mircea_popescu: a nm, i see you commented thar.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> oh brutal i didn't know princessnell'd hosed herself << o.O
ben_vulpes: oh brutal i didn't know princessnell'd hosed herself
jurov: and iirc i have asked BingoBoingo about what is so exceptional on my service, he was like "as compared to anything in the US"
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> in their defense, the fee to propose an entrant is ~80 bitcents rather than 50 bitcoin. << i lolled
mircea_popescu: also lolz at the wikipedia-sanitized version of anarchism, reinterpreted as variations of the "golden rule" brand. ya i'm sure, and cars are a sort of Ford amirite. vivat intellectual property!
BingoBoingo: Relatit https://i.imgur.com/YfOE8zi.png

a111: Logged on 2016-04-30 04:10 trinque: after I kick cigs I'll be fit to sow the lord's blessed seed at a mormon temple
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-30#1459749 << i've been smoking less and less myself. no idea exactly why, but i've had this tin of cigarillos since last year ;/ ☝︎
pete_dushenski: who knew i'd get rusty so fast ?
adlai: ;;later tell pete_dushenski i'm right here, no need to sic the dogs after me
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-29#1459133 << the only place i'd previously heard of the retardendo locals doing this is venezuela. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://www.contravex.com/2016/04/28/for-some-embarrassment-is-rare-for-some-its-sous-vide/#comment-45668 << you schadenfreuded ? ~i~ think i broke new psychohistorical ground by schadenfreuding myself! it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion and it was like i was trying to laugh myself to death before the impact took all the glory
a111: Logged on 2016-04-30 01:55 ben_vulpes: i'll probably be even less communicative than i've been for the next month or two

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have a coinbr acct either, for reasons discussed in agonizing detail in the logz
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-30#1459699 << i dun have an mpex acct. so qntra shares are not mechanically convertible to coin. ☝︎
adlai: BingoBoingo: I actually (as told to mom, who buys my booze, grudgingly) like to have a beer every couple months, to remember why I keep that frequency low that low.
mircea_popescu: by now the phuctor rss is actually a major reason to watch this chan. i have nfi how one could be "in crypto/compsec/sysadmin" and NOT want to see the key holes in real time.
adlai: unless trb manages to compile itself next time i kick it.
adlai: mod6: and i say this with greatest regard for alf, but i will probably get more "12step" mileage out of your T-shirt (of the hair variety, sadly, but trimmer than orgmode!) than trb and phuctor, combined
