Vexual: hi Adlai
Vexual: whats new?
Adlai navigates the shoals of impending employment
Vexual: ooh nice, big moneys?
kakobrekla: lol
Adlai: my main purpose in life these days is working on my open source library, my secondary purpose is not to starve. the trick is to juggle the two purposes properly.
Vexual: not starving is an excellnt goal
Adlai: it's a shitty one if all you do while not starving is waste oxygen
Adlai: btw if i haven't spammed it at you yet, i'm working on http://github.com/adlai/scalpl if this is the kind of thing that interests you
assbot: adlai/scalpl GitHub
Vexual: yes i remember this now
kakobrekla: dont get lost among the slaves
Vexual: also don;t aspire to only et unborn sturgeon
Adlai: u w0t
Vexual: belugar caviar
Vexual: it isn't the be all and end all
Adlai: having caviar as table salt is not part of my requirements for "not starve"
Vexual: you might wanna include it as a sometimes food
Adlai: exactly
kakobrekla: hm? you must be talking to my ignore list.
Adlai: Vexual might want to sort that out then :)
RagnarDanneskjol: you got some nice work there Adlai
RagnarDanneskjol: https://github.com/adlai/sykobot - heh

Adlai: http://github.com/sykopomp/sheeple <- most nicest work i've done. syko and i stopped working on it because we thought nobody would ever actually use it, turns out today several people are using it "professionally"
assbot: sykopomp/sheeple GitHub
Vexual: what does it do?? the readme is a bit spergie
RagnarDanneskjol: hmm cool. kind of weird I'm the only one who's forked scalpl to date... thought it would be a lot moar popular by now
Adlai: RagnarDanneskjol: me, and a friend is planning on using it in a hedge fund sometime soon, and has been running it on a bit of personal money to test the waters until the fund goes live.
RagnarDanneskjol: oh wow. sounds awesome - and scary
Vexual: need a brain?
Adlai: although the most correct answer to your question is "me", since in it's current form it still kinda requires me to manually set it up
Vexual: lol
RagnarDanneskjol: ok
Adlai: so now that you've forked it, what's next? :D
Vexual: ahitty graphix
Adlai: +Vexual | need a brain? « the more the merrier, provided that you're an "adder" and not a "divider" :)
Vexual: give me something thats not and api
RagnarDanneskjol: i reverse engineer code mostly, find out what makes it tick.. thats about the extent of my interest in the coding world. I'm an rf hardware guy
Adlai: enoparse: "and api"
Vexual: lol
kakobrekla wonders how long does it take for Adlai to ignore the noise hole.
Adlai: i'm hoping to have scalpl as usable as the average unix utility by the end of the month
RagnarDanneskjol: very nice
Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money
Adlai: ie, you'll still need to rtfm/s and configuration will require editing textual config files
Adlai tends to /ignore in his brain, not in his IRC client
Adlai: * | Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money << the beauty of scalpl's design is that you don't have to give me your money to use it, although you do have to trust the exchange which you choose to use
Vexual: ill give you money anyway, just to be a cunt
kakobrekla: nevertheless the question remains.
Adlai: right now, the answer is "until the guy who's supposed to call me, calls me"
Adlai: RagnarDanneskjol: are you interested in using scalpl once it's at that level?
kakobrekla: hedge fund on kraken?
Adlai: the user configures pretty much everything about how it interprets the market, my goal is for this to essentially be a trading slave which you can teach your algorithms and then sip martinis while it trades away
kakobrekla checks if its 1st of april.
kakobrekla: mnope
Adlai: emphasis on "planning"

Vexual: nevertheless all and sundry are happy on their own
Vexual: kraken aint no shit
Adlai: my main reason for using kraken for developement is their minimum order size of 0.01 euro, which means i can risk a lot less capital
Vexual: yeah man, kudos
Vexual: love abounds
Adlai: (the smaller the minimum order relative to your capital, the more steps in your martingale)
Vexual: kraken has a casino now?
RagnarDanneskjol: er no. martingale relates to general probabilistic theory, is used in predictive trading systems, not just dice games derp
Vexual: are yuo in out every pip?
RagnarDanneskjol: probability theory even*
Adlai: "in out every pip"?
Vexual: grunty grunty
Adlai: wrt casinos... the market is just one big decentralized casino
Vexual: yeah well
Adlai: investing is more than "just gambling", but some derivatives are structured in a way which makes them more like a fancy roulette wheel than "investing"

mats_cd03: LXC has been battle tested for a few years. containers, decades. seccomp is available in the LXC driver, but not in libcontainer. so, the same risks as before -- arbitrary execution of kernel code. leaking to other containers, lack of fine-grained access to devices (in the works, i belieb)
mats_cd03: mitigation involves layering. SELinux, one docker per vm,
mats_cd03: i forget the rest.

bounce: because fingerprints are totally better than passwords. much more seekrit.
bounce wonders if mastercard will stump up the costs for fingerprint surgery in case of fingerprint-theft, or they'll rather just burn the customer instead
Apocalyptic: that's a relevant question
asciilifeform: this is ancient history:
asciilifeform: one reason why they push fingerprints and similar crap is the 'prima facie' concept ☟︎
asciilifeform: that is, the chump can once again be presumed guilty of fraud if he dares to contest a charge, just like in the 'bad old days.'
asciilifeform: burden of proof (to impossible degree) will be on the chump, to show that his fingerprint was lifted.
bounce: rather transparent ploy at that, but succeeding
bounce: now, visa and mastercard aren't banks, but they work for banks. which then gives the lie to the premise that banks are safe places for money (or valuables, for that matter) and as such are worthy of the customer's trust
thestringpuller: reminds me of the episode of south park where they frame michael jackson
chetty: didnt the whole fingerprint thing get destroyed recently with iPhone lift?
asciilifeform: chetty: much earlier than that
asciilifeform: the sausage experiment.
chetty: yeah, but that was recent repeat, I guess no one was paying attention

decimation: asciilifeform: the 'weapons will not be issued' link is hilarious
bounce didn't find much
asciilifeform: my hypothesis re: biometrics is, imho, the only one proposed so far that has explanatory power for the fact that idiotically lame, e.g., fingerprint readers, nevertheless are happily deployed en masse by usg ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: they do not care if they actually, in physical reality, work. only that the results are considered prima facie evidence that whatever Officially happened - happened.
bounce: fits with the rest of the evidence about the other systems deployed by parties using this
asciilifeform: this is why you see fp readers at usg facilities, in consumer finance, iPnohes, etc.
decimation: asciilifeform: there's an even deeper truth there - the reality is that usg doesn't have the 'People' needed to determine actual truth
decimation: so all they can do is make a cardboard cutout robot of a 'person'
bounce: corollary: since parties deploying this are out to get you, not help you, they should be avoided. or neutralised.
asciilifeform: in as far as the crown goes, 'actual truth' is a matter between you and your gods
bounce: feh. they have the people. they're just wasting resources on big large expensive machines that go 'ping'. they /could/ be hiring people for that money, but they're not.
decimation: true, but at least in the early days the king's men would go out and hear cases, and judge them as they saw fit
bounce: to the point of buying massive amounts of machinery then _leaving much of it crated in storage_
decimation: the 'king's justice' has been watered down to "present your id card"
decimation: bounce: they employ plenty of warm bodies, very few people
bounce: on a somewhat lighter note, compare "state of the art" datacentres with biometric access measures.
asciilifeform: thing is, modern 'rights states' (see some of mircea_popescu's pieces) create a problem - various 'rights' are Officially proclaimed, that, were they actually exercised en masse, would make the entire scamatron collapse overnight.
decimation: bounce: that's glitz that's designed to sell space
asciilifeform: 'unprincipled exceptions' (no you don't get to cross the street if the Fuhrer is within 1km) only go so far.
asciilifeform: here's a little mindfuck, for those still awake:
bounce already had the hunch that we'd be better off with a lot less "rights", but with the ones we do have, properly observed.
decimation: asciilifeform: and when the masses try to call the government to deliver on their promises (revolutionary France) everything collapses

bounce thinks the amount of "security" around POTUS is both its own show and another sign that el presidente is not in fact in control of the government faculties

mats_cd03: on the subject of trials, my research is going swimmingly. roughly 20% finished.

assbot: The Myth of Fingerprints
bounce: all good and well to want to avoid societal collapse, but to pretend biology would willingly accomodate you there is maybe a bit much. the judge's answer thus is a good measure of the quality of the judicial branch
asciilifeform: what judge, in what 20th c. totalitarian state tendril (which is 100% of planet earth as we speak) would dare disagree?
decimation: fingerprints are part of the general 'forensics' pseudoscience that is used as an aid in reducing the number of thinking people required to throw a chump in the gulag
bounce: too few, but I won't wager it'll be zero
chetty: well as soon as there is fingerprint evidence on someone they want to get off
asciilifeform: nah then they magick it away.
asciilifeform: or produce same, for a scapegoat.
decimation: asciilifeform: after all, only experts can make the right 'match'
bounce: fingerprints work reasonably well as criminal corrobating evidence. as soon as that gets forgotten that the matching is taken as a binary guilty decision, then we have guaranteed miscarriages of justice all over
asciilifeform: and not simply a device for fooling jury (not all jurisdictions have jury trials) but for eliciting confession through intimidation (as 'lie detector' was once used for)
decimation: 'lie detector' is still used for this purpose against usg employees
bounce: or, as the case may be, fraud with cards and such
bounce: oh yes, the fbi is still the biggest lie detector fanclub, possibly after scientology
decimation: which means of course that everyone who works for the fbi is a 'believer'
asciilifeform: not necessarily, just willing to undergo the sacrament.
asciilifeform: (see mp's piece on 'methodism')
chetty: jajajaja sacrament, good way of putting it
bounce: to climb up you may have to be a believer
asciilifeform: the 'method' idea is possibly lifted from the jewish tradition (where you are not, in fact, asked to believe in god, but to simply carry out the program, as i understand.)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah but the very least the ses brass and their 'internal affairs' folks are believers (or at least unwilling to pretend otherwise)
asciilifeform: bounce: it is not really necessary to believe in anything to 'climb up.' in fact, it would seriously get in the way.

asciilifeform: incidentally, 'trial by ordeal' - in particular, methods which involve functions of the parasympathetic nervous system, e.g., hot coals or modern 'lie detector' - are ancient.
