ben_vulpes: why would i give
a shit about the bitterness of
a cure for
a made up ailment i ask you
ben_vulpes: the rest have never had the autonomy over any scope to know how much better life is under
a good master.
mircea_popescu: well, yeah, but very progressive and looking for
a black man to cook for.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform zee germanz had
a small unit built at some point. then they tore it down because usg lobby for fucking them over ; ended up paying ~half
a dollar per kW produced in "dismantling" costs.
mircea_popescu: preferably with
a picture of
a young man pissing on
a grave.
mircea_popescu: strangely enough, small nuclear plants are actually
a lot safer than the large ones also.
mircea_popescu: by the time you're talking traincar sized gensets, you're prolly better off building
a small nuclear plant anyway.
mircea_popescu: if you're about to drop 1mn on
a piece of property, the notion that you wouldn't drop
a few tens of k's on actually having power for it is outright idiotic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall at no point "just
a gas generator" was contemplated. that + battery bank + electronics = win.
mircea_popescu: gillette also makes up to iirc 1mw units. but really, from both
a redundancy and efficiency pov it's better to buy multiple smaller ones.
mircea_popescu: (re above link :
a buried gpl tank and
a gpl/lp/ng generator possibly much better solution than gasoline powered. unless you actually intend to build
a gasoline tank, which is
a permit nightmare usually.)
mircea_popescu: he's affecting that he can't hear docker, so we don't realise he sleeps with
a stuffed bear with
a penis that reads docker
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes note that there's
a lot of space between 100kw and 1mw.
ben_vulpes: the ups is just supposed to be
a bridge to the gennie.
mircea_popescu: (doesn't have to come with the trailer, of course. you'll need
a battery rack about the same size and
a serious converter, ie, 100kW as opposed to 1050kW)
ben_vulpes: 'power supply' to me means i dial
a voltage and it holds it to
a hundredth of
a volt.
ben_vulpes: i doubt
a binary-only 'bitcoinalike' would fly even were it wot-o-genic
ben_vulpes: "what is the value of owning source code for
a token system that everyone else must have
a copy of in order to play?"
mircea_popescu: will also have the great benefit of c) clip his wings
a shade.
mircea_popescu: alternatively you could explain to your boss that
a) he's not terribly informed, and if he's interested in this sort of thing b) really should make gpg id and show up here with his q's.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 14:21 mod6: speaking of which, i think I'm going to need to rework this whole antecedent thing. while building it, it seemed to make sense to me, but now, looking at it through
a different set of eyes, it seems unintuitive at best, out right backwards at worst.
Framedragger: i detest these glossy landing page designs. then again, maybe
a stability point has been reached on the web, in the sense of content-less websites now employing
a content-less form
Framedragger: yeah it's probably bull; interesting to think in terms of IP though, whether there's
a valuation methodology possible
Framedragger: lol just had
a meeting with boss: he wants to create
a general valuation (as in IP valuation) framework for cryptocurrencies
mod6: hmm. ok. i gotta run here for
a bit. will think on it
a bit more. thanks!
mod6: yeah, i see how that, especially in this case as opposed to V does warp the mind
a bit.
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.
Framedragger remembers writing
a shitty "back-connect" backdoor, coupling it with keylogger and
a shitty "Hacker Defender" (sic) rootkit which hides the former two, and installing the bundle onto school PCs running the latest AV...
mod6: boy. i think that the logic might be correct in there -- but boy oh boy is "ANTECEDENT(s)"
a bad label.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: undocumented windows NT features or sth like that? there was
a book...
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe black dudes looking for
a derpy slavegirl in audience.
Framedragger: (it's
a long post but
a nice read for one of them rainy days)
mircea_popescu: <mirceayyy> I'm Lilly. I am
a very liberal SJW activist who is also into very kinky sex. I am on here to finally to what I know in my heart is right and fair and find an African American person whom wants to own
a white slave. I am very obedient, can cook, clean, and do whatever else would be required of me."
Framedragger: i do remember investigating how
a few of them ring 0 windows rootkits work, thereby sort of delving into NT internals... it's
a world unto itself. and it's full of objects!!! ah, childhood :D
Framedragger: welll, NT kernel is
a piece of engineering, whatever your feelings for M$
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform admitting for
a moment windows can actually do things.
Framedragger: i don't think it's
a complete stack trace. it's just timestamps?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: etw seems to be
a more generic framework than that, but can't be bothered to look too deeply. something like that anyway
mircea_popescu: turns out this "telemetry" is an utter misnomer, "etw" is just
a stack trace
a la windows ?
Framedragger: alf is like
a good decent-link-filter-and-repost bot #b-
a -> #trilema
mod6: so im gonna dig into that
a bit today, and see what needs to change if anything -- the structure shouldn't change too much, just
a lot of labeling to make it more .... intuitive.
mod6: speaking of which, i think I'm going to need to rework this whole antecedent thing. while building it, it seemed to make sense to me, but now, looking at it through
a different set of eyes, it seems unintuitive at best, out right backwards at worst.
☟︎☟︎ mod6: the gpg part isn't
a prob or whatever.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 20:46 mircea_popescu: the system's been around for decades ; i fucked
a bunch in my day. recently they tried to close the thing down, arrested gals by the pail, but... from what i hear it didn't take.
davout: in other words i don't get how
a worker could be made if the interface it should honor isn't defined beforehand
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, just gotta start peeling at
a corner.
mod6: you don't want me to use
a bunch of JS to do
a bunch of things to make your eyes bleed?
BingoBoingo: You use the limited necessary set of html markup to accomplish the task <b> <i> <
a> <blockquote> etc
mod6: im still working on
a bit of
a write up here...
mircea_popescu: his government pays an extra 40 bux
a month ; his parents pay an extra 30 bux
a month (not counting amortisation for hardware) and he gets 15 dollars
a month out of maybe 25 to 50 dollars' worth of monthly utility delivered to the world.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. anyway, if your windows boxes are owned through the tenuous interface of whatever random chump-trojan, perhaps not allow
a number of operations you feel you're vulnerable to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have
a solution ; because this is
a design not an implementation.
mircea_popescu: wtf is so hard about this. so random twerp likes to have b and pretend it's
a. good for him, random twerps like to lie in their accounting ever since they were invented. this is what "bitcoin investments" on the forum were all about throughout. so ?
mircea_popescu:
a) if your control on the box is strong, then your control on the box is strong. this means you fix the problem ; b) if your control on the box is weak, this means your control on the box is weak. this means you understand you can lose it.
mircea_popescu: this is
a wotless joke. you don't even know 1k people.
mircea_popescu: "list of trusted peers for accepting orders and verifying Bitcoin payments ; administrative policies as appropriate." this has
a meaning.
mircea_popescu: but you discuss it as if i'd give
a half of
a flying fuck.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 01:15 phf: but you can easily upgrade open access service to
a custom service and charge for the extra work too. if you want your ads injected on all machines, you don't get to put own exe, needs to spec out the problem and give it to botnet owner to develop. also means that particularly losery owners will rapidly transfer their botnets to smarter crowd
mircea_popescu: it's plenty sexy. it resolves
a number of notable problems, correctly - which is to say without support for usg.
mircea_popescu: trust. it builds. all that's needed is
a marketplace to build it.
mircea_popescu: still ; you have
a botnet you're worried about, can parcel it out, rent 10 chunks of 1k machines to 10 people, see who runs with it etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "little different" is essentially saying "the wot is
a nice toy but it'll never scale".
mircea_popescu:
a "reasonable competent" whatever could... what, bother deedbot. hurr durr.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 00:29 asciilifeform: is that
a reasonably competent griefer can rent the chumpnet and ~clean it~
mircea_popescu: other than the numerous deliberate sabotages, tor fails in
a game theoretic manner - no incentive to participate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually this should work as
a proper tor relay for gossipd.
