mircea_popescu: that part i understand - iso something. what i odn't understand is why no redirects, but w/e.
asciilifeform: and ftr i have nfi why the date format needed monkeying with.
mircea_popescu: i guess that got taken out. anyway.
asciilifeform: i think phf's bot is under repair or sumthing.
asciilifeform: yeah i never bothered to write it up
asciilifeform: i wasn't whining about BingoBoingo , except by mistake
BingoBoingo: I must have missed the thread
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should prolly link it, i suspect BingoBoingo more than happy to edit.
asciilifeform: 'Yet among the 38 previously undisclosed companies receiving In-Q-Tel funding' << false, they were all disclosed in the tax document i dissected HERE
asciilifeform: in the 'intercept' link, i mean
shinohai: I'll probably rerate when he stops drinking the Pb Waterz of Detroit. ☟︎☟︎
shinohai: $rate PeterL -1 no I shall not voice you in #trilema
shinohai: $rate PerterL -1 no I shall not voice you in #trilema
ben_vulpes: (also missed all of those talks, although i am looking forward to the bbatsov talk)
mircea_popescu: cuz i'm just a teenage dirtbag baby...
ben_vulpes: i just saw something that looked a lot like CLOS in clojure
mircea_popescu: i had the lulz of my life for an entire decade on the topic. there's, by and large, nothing dumber than people.)
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's the same guy, but w/e
mircea_popescu: i guess. that's the bidding nick tho.
mod6: i dunno. anyway, i just thought, not impossible, just seemed unlikely.
mircea_popescu: http://deedbot.org/deed-403869-1.txt << in which i discover that the original application was never deeded o.O
mod6: i have like 10 channels open at all times, for decades.
mod6: ah. could be. i'd venture to guess that perhaps its the node or nodes on the network segment you're connecting to doing something weird, or bad, or being attacked.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> BingoBoingo: eh, yeah, i doubt it. not saying that you're wrong; just that, you can't dos a channel itself. only its individuals if you know its inhabitants. << I'm not trying to imply anything other than timing of my connection's enshittening seems suspish
mod6: i mean, i think we're pretty special and all, ( ;D ) but i doubt theres a bunch of people who care enough to try to slag down the whole fleanode because of drama.
trinque: mod6: other chans I frequent are seeing lots of disconnects and timeouts
mod6: BingoBoingo: eh, yeah, i doubt it. not saying that you're wrong; just that, you can't dos a channel itself. only its individuals if you know its inhabitants.
BingoBoingo: I'm just bringing this up because the timing of the enshittening seems suspish
mod6: i know. freenode sucks. but, its what it is for now.
mod6: these issues could very well be the node you're connecting to on freenode i guess. *shrug*
trinque: I agree with that; there's no solution other than gossipd
mod6: I propose that we do not move (too hard to get a full net of slave nodes going + ddos mitigation, which, you know we'll need desperately) until we break off with gossip
BingoBoingo: mod6: Before the divorce I'd keep connected for weeks at a time. Basically until I did something that closed connection.
mod6: And I do nothing special really. Have a node for irc, using irssi.
mod6: BingoBoingo & trinque; im not sure how i seem to stay connected for as long as i generally do. but i bet among us all, i have the longest running connection times; on average.
shinohai: I suppose he would subpoena usg ?
BingoBoingo: I have not
BingoBoingo: Ok, I'm starting to get tired of this fucking Freenode weather that's picked up substantially since the channel split. Before I could spend weeks with continuous uninterupted connection. Now, I'm lucky to stay connected a whole day. No other aspect of my connectivity has fucking changed.
shinohai wonders if Qntra would get sued if I wrote a satire piece about Erdogan.
shinohai: Ah okay I was gonna give it a go for shits and giggles.
danielpbarron: I can sorta-run a gentoo on a pogo by chrooting from another linux
danielpbarron: the info is that it's supposed to be possible, but I have yet to achieve it
shinohai: I'm ready. Thanks to mats I am not worried about space constraints any longer. Gonna try and order some Ada materials soon and get up to speed with you guise.
shinohai: And I miss poking btc with a stick.
shinohai: I'm really glad to hear that, haven't had anything to do much besides hunt for Qntra articles of late.
shinohai: Yeah I'm going to review that when reading comprehension returns to normal lol.
shinohai: Ignore me, I may or may not be slightly intoxicated.
shinohai: I wound up with eleventeen.
mod6: I'd say the result should be: 3.
mod6: <+PeterL> I'm not saying you should use this, just trying to fix the mistakes in the linked code so people could explore it more << yeah, much appreciated. im on an adventure.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but it is NOT a substitute for modern electric rng << hey, i guess to an extent, i totally agree. except, we don't have a modern electirc rng.
mod6: <+PeterL> I took out some of the "sneaky" pythonisms, might be a bit clearer now? << looks that way, I'm gonna play with this a bit tonight. But I did quickly try it out. Thanks again.
adlai: in other news, i'm seriously considering arranging for a bitcoin miner so i can work on p2pool while in the farm
PeterL: I'm not saying you should use this, just trying to fix the mistakes in the linked code so people could explore it more
adlai always preferred to use the I Ching ritual, with the yarrow stalks, repeated ad nauseam until you fall asleep from boredom
PeterL: and I fixed a couple bugs, like the mismatched variable name and some missing float casts in the test, and I added a rudimentary prompt if you run the script from a shell
PeterL: I took out some of the "sneaky" pythonisms, might be a bit clearer now?
PeterL: I cleaned up the python snippet you linked for the dice debiasing
mircea_popescu: and wait, i wished a specific title ? i r old and forget.
adlai: so mircea_popescu, your commandment will be fulfilled, but i doubt i'll title my blog exactly as you wished. (sosumi)
adlai: ah well, i'll have to search for a better movie to recommend next
mircea_popescu: i fucking wonder why riot police gets billyclubs.
mircea_popescu: i'd be shitting my pants if i had to do crowd control in unknown crowd with a fucking assault rifle omfg.
mircea_popescu: i only made it to about there. buncha idiots with assault rifles running "the most brilliant coup in history". apparently thye missed the "adequacy of weapon to task 101" class at sane people academy. took the hollywood altreality class instead.
mircea_popescu: and while we're on it, where the everloving fuck did they find those incredibly pliable, ready and trained set of people of walmart ? i bet you that on a million dollar budget you can't get together actual streetwalkers in new york that strip when they hear "i'ma need you to strip".
adlai: mircea_popescu: SORRY TO HEAR YOU DIDN'T ENJOY THE MOVIE oopslock is infecshus i guess.
davout: one of the cool things about this chan is that i get to learn a bit of latin every day!
mircea_popescu: there is this theory that his brain at some point worked, years ago. i subscribe to it. sadly he has been silent for years ; his newfound interest in things and verbal flurries on topics may be interesting, but principally to whatever paid medical professional. i'm neither paid nor a doctor, and in any case i am of the firm conviction that he is non compos mentis, and unable to evaluate any statement.
mircea_popescu: davout i have no idea as to what kakobrekla is ranting/raving about nor any interest.
davout: anyway, as soon as i receive the additional cash i'll craft the unsigned transaction and publish it for public review
davout: i disagree with the conclusions
mod6: i'd love that shit i bet
mod6: i guess it does seem like maybe the terrain out there would be good for grazing. kinda like the mid-west used to be without the fences. ala kansas, oklahoma, texas circa 1800-1880
mod6: I thought you were saying once that it was mostly like soy farming or w/e?
asciilifeform: mod6: i saw it. not particularly useful.
mod6: I think it would encrypt a string. Then decrypt it, but it wouldn't/couldn't take any different input. haha.
mod6: I got it to work, kinda sorta.
mod6: I'll start putting this together, let's check back in on where I'm at say, mid-next week.
mod6: I think this is a good stopping point for today probably. Plenty of food for thought. Getting the list together is a small enough chunk to get us started.
BingoBoingo: in case of fire, and during the last drill (my building is only four stories for fucks sake) an obese coworker was out of breath and had to stop half-way with a huge line of people behind her - if this was a real emergency, I'm sorry, but I'm gunna gunt punt that woman to ensure everyone can make it out alive." https://archive.is/7ObHD
BingoBoingo: Iterlude from the mines: "During the 9/11 attacks, more people died than should have because the obese people in the buildings could not move down 20 flights of stairs as fast as needed. FACT. Obese people moving slow (as fast as they can) in a burning building stairwell absolutely can cause people to not make it out alive. This is the most triggering one for me. I'm one of those people who volunteered in my office to help people escape
mod6: This is something that ben and I can put together.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i guess one good move, and very foundation-like, would be to make lists of what we want, both for cB [cleanning Bitcoin] and iB [ideal Bitcoin] << ok so this is a start.
asciilifeform: then i went off into my pit to produce a cstron.
asciilifeform: mod6: i must point out that i was not paid
mod6: i hope not, you got paid for cs submission!
asciilifeform: i personally do not have one.
mircea_popescu: i don't know there's a better alternative than cs.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's anything wrong with proper, full rsa (as opposed to the neutered version implemented by pgp)
mircea_popescu: i guess one good move, and very foundation-like, would be to make lists of what we want, both for cB [cleanning Bitcoin] and iB [ideal Bitcoin]
mircea_popescu: and as the idiots keep investing themselves, no matter how ineptly, they'll eventually build a shitpile large enough, i suspect.
asciilifeform: i recall this. it is rather like 'cruiser aurora', bottom - is of cement
mircea_popescu: i am not made of infinity.
mircea_popescu: mod6 like i pointed out to davout in the middle of that heated discussion re how things work, this is one of those things that deal with the negative of "works"
asciilifeform: i keep a number of'em around
asciilifeform: in the past i referred to such items as 'parachute'
mod6: yeah, i think so.
mod6: yeah, i read about this before.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you understand what i mean by "fleet in being" ?
mod6: Then, i think my initial still holds. Short term C releated work, if it can even be done in time. And meanwhile, new icecream replacing dogshit.
