asciilifeform: i bet they happily move the 50.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. they made women and children dependent on a man.
asciilifeform: wai, wat, hawaladars ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "offchain txn/poorcoin"
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: i was specifically curious re: what a hawaladar in, e.g., usa, or eu, would charge to move 50 usd.
asciilifeform: as a kind of baseline.
mircea_popescu: he won't charge anything. how did the quote go,
mircea_popescu: "Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day."

mircea_popescu: people who imagine endlessness is a natural phenomena need to spend less time cooped up in their rooms, dreaming up shit.
asciilifeform: to folks unacquainted with basic physics, mechanization gives a convincing illusion of 'phree stuff 4ever'
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: because all you need is, would appear to be, energy, and everybody knows that it comes from the mains socket.
asciilifeform: because god willed it.
mircea_popescu: and cryptographic security oozes out of the ether and miners are just this abstraction getting in the way of the ooze.
mircea_popescu: it will fill any shape and any volume we draw for it. because it must. because... god willed it!
asciilifeform: more generally, when confronted with the mechanical 'guts' of something, this type of person will answer 'get this away from me, it is unclean'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: why this peculiar dick-pulling, why pretend.
undata: asciilifeform: words, you can just tweet them
undata: then they get retweeted you see, and are true
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. I'm just saying why don't they pretend better. Instead of throwing on fake spoilers and calling a car customer, this is the "I put a sticker on it" sort of effort.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and 'write an os', per the barest technical definition, is not high science; it's a standard 'boy scout badge' in school.

pete_dushenski: kakobrekla "schedule maintenance"
undata: this social media thing I think has created the notion that identity is a matter of self-definition
undata: rather than reputation
thestringpuller: o look a pete_dushenski
undata: leading to the mind-rot of multitudes
pete_dushenski: heya stringy
pete_dushenski: undata it seems to me that the popularity of sm is an effect rather than a cause
undata: pete_dushenski: self-reinforcing though
undata: there's a reward associated with the behavior
undata: retweets, w/e
pete_dushenski: the mind-rot has been baking in for a couple of decades
undata: I agree
pete_dushenski: that's just the cleaving of importance from "importance"
pete_dushenski: like russia from the usa
pete_dushenski: russia turns down would-be bond-buyers in droves
pete_dushenski: us media reports that "bond sale fails"
undata: there's something there but I'm not cutting to the root of it
undata: it seems alien to me that words mean precisely dick in the present
pete_dushenski: think of it as word inflation
pete_dushenski: and it's every bit as toxic as fiat inflation
pete_dushenski: creates all kinds of puffed up balloons
undata: right, the erosion of measures of value could very well fuck thinking itself which leads to the abovementioned
pete_dushenski: quite so.
pete_dushenski: when there are no barriers to entry, people get really rather confused
pete_dushenski: in response, they cling to whatever presents itself, quite undiscriminatingly
pete_dushenski: so it's a markov chain going from shiny toy to shiny app to shiny turd
pete_dushenski: as to "words meaning zero" it's more that we're privy, if not downright inundated, with words from people who don't know how to use them
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Boy Scout badges in a lot of ways represent American failducation, shit offered as sausage because cylindrical phenomenon.
pete_dushenski: our wots can be so much larger than we can biologically manage that the signal is drowned out by the noise
pete_dushenski: try spending your days on newspaper websites reading about "terrorism" and "celerities" and see if your noodle doesn't turn to mush
pete_dushenski: selective filtering is completely mandatory for a functioning brain, if not in fact the best definition thereof

decimation: Labeling one consensus as 'hard' and another as 'soft' doesn't seem to be a good use of language
mircea_popescu: a fire affects everything, related or not. this is more like cancer : it affects the victim, but not the chasir he sits on or the op fucking them in the ass.
mircea_popescu: decimation that is happenstance, arriving from the very haphazard manner in which abstraction works out of the group of power rangers
mircea_popescu: they don't proceed from an in depth understanding of the thing, but merely by and by, as experience allows.
mircea_popescu: this worm's progress made them use those words because apparently one is more of a bitch than the other.
asciilifeform: !s the camel has two humps
assbot: 5 results for 'the camel has two humps' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=the+camel+has+two+humps
decimation: yes, that much is obvious: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=21-01-2015#985357 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 02:59:39; Luke-Jr: I think the db_config patch may explain why it works, but could be potentially inadequate for the current consensus rules
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so basically, im saying "this certain part of the us is now so infested, the cancer is mostly eating other cancer"
mircea_popescu: decimation Luke-Jr generally pretends that things he doesn't like don't actually exist. this is the case in pretty much every line he utters, crafted to support his particular mental issues.
mircea_popescu: in this case, he conveniently neglects the point that there is no \such thing as CURRENT consensus, in any way distinct from trhe actual consensus
mircea_popescu: as verified by a 5.x node
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> decimation Luke-Jr generally pretends that things he doesn't like don't actually exist. this is the case in pretty much every line he utters, crafted to support his particular mental issues. << Things like Popes
mircea_popescu: now, he'd like for it to be the case, obviously, because that'd imply that the "Work" the power rangers have been doing for the past year is worth more than zero, which is a proposition he holds dear for obvious reasons.
BingoBoingo: In much the same way he'd like a miner on a bench at BFL to have been a miner on his testing bench
mircea_popescu: right.
decimation: to be fair, he did express some level of interest in the foundation project. perhaps he knows what is really true in his hindbrain
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose it comes as one of those "nobody could have predicted" things to these people that the entire pile of crap they've been amassing over the years can and for that matter likely will simply be thrown out and forgotten.
mircea_popescu: a naive stance, but then again neckbeards aren't exactly known for worldliness.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Probably to an extent. Luke-Jr has a rather sort of logical structure organizing his schtick which seems self consistent while entirely problematic.
mircea_popescu: "So his mom cut him off from wiping his ass for him when he turned 18 and now he thinks the ladies owe him blowjobs. I hope bitcoin collapses just to fuck this guy."
mircea_popescu: apparently reddit really likes me, in unrelated news.

asciilifeform: decimation: did you use libusb-0.1 or -1.0 to develop cardano? or are you just using the kernel mass storage driver? << it mounts as a standard mass storage dev.
decimation: ah. I'm trying to write driver using userland library, and am loathing usb
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo has been considering using one of those "Edgerouter Lites" as a desktop system << you don't want to do this, believe. i have freebsd running, but turns out that mips 'strip' is defective (can't be arsed to hunt for the endianism bug in it, could take a month) and half the ports tree won't build.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it also is not an especially fast box.
decimation: asciilifeform: 'strip' as in stripping debug symbols?
BingoBoingo: Fuck, asciilifeform not for the lack of fast, but for the defective. I've had octeon suspicions like I have longsoon suspicions, but cock sucking mother fucker.
decimation: plus, what would you use for display? crt serial terminal?
BingoBoingo: decimation: I would use crt serial plugged into RJ port. I assume at the moment stripped means instructions as part of 64 are fucked because "octeon" and no one cares for poor MPIS.
BingoBoingo: *MIPS
BingoBoingo: Fuck I don't even care enough for MIPS to spell it right.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: gentoo is reputed to run more or less correctly on it. have not tried personally.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'strip' as in the util by same name on your unix box.
asciilifeform: decimation: libusb is not the loathesome part, but usb per se.
decimation: asciilifeform: indeed. little can be done to abstract the overengineered crazytown
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ah. On non tard-86 I assume perserve userspace to allow pulseaudio cancer would poison any linux too much.
decimation: supposedly the linux that comes with the box gets good reviews
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the 'octeon' doesn't have an audio card.
asciilifeform: decimation: all i can say is that it booted. once.
asciilifeform: (i didn't care for the closed-source kernel mod)
decimation: heh. does it have any usable bus interface?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pulse audio's salvation from fixing a kernel bug was a more general io concern if I remember right
asciilifeform: there's a usb socket on the board. comes filled with a 4g stick, no-brand aluminum pill.
decimation: so one could use a hub to add usb devices.
BingoBoingo: decimation: It has rj-45 jack, can emulate rs-232 over that for terminal I would hope or not a computer.
asciilifeform: also some gpio pins that are, afaik, not brought out; and two uarts, one of which is soldered to the 'console' jack
asciilifeform: 115200 baud.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc there is an experimental openbsd port as well.
BingoBoingo: Why always 1 step forward and half a mile and a liter of hobo piss back.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: oh and freebsd on octeon doesn't support loadable kmods.
asciilifeform: hope you didn't need any.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yes, but requires NFS boot
BingoBoingo: For OBSD
asciilifeform: it makes a perfectly fine router.
asciilifeform: (freebsd)
BingoBoingo: Prolly.
asciilifeform: i'm connected through it even now.
decimation: I would consider purchasing it to replace the pc I'm using for that purpose
BingoBoingo: Just... routers are cheap.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: routers with metal chassis, passive cooling, and removable mass storage generally are not cheap.
BingoBoingo though would prefer computer
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For particular definitions of cheap
decimation: asciilifeform: cisco et.al. have been making $$$ selling versions of this kind of thing with crapware
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not readily available, rather. (the only real alternative i can think of, built from extant hardware, is 'pc engines' - if you can abide x86)
BingoBoingo: Edgerouter seemed a bargain, still seems best at what it is... just... disapoint that not as I hoped it could be abused into without the now apparent resistance
asciilifeform: cisco is not permitted in my home even unpowered.
decimation: asciilifeform: right, but I think they might use mips on some of their stuff
asciilifeform: the only one i've ever opened actually had a... 486.

davout: s/being/be it/
thestringpuller: i say kung-fu in traditional: "special skill acquired through much practice"
thestringpuller: i.e. kung-fu = practice/repetition in my context my apologies lol

jurov: it's more about acquiring useful muscle memory bits
lobbes: I remember reading something a bit ago that hit home; a lot of people make the mistake of 'reasoning from their own mind' without really checking external sources of information. Which is deadly if you are ignorant such as myself
jurov: but on other side, we were supposed to learn choreography and i was too lazy to force myself to remember it whole properly
jurov: if i did it would prolly help

jurov: thestringpuller it's big difference between doing a simple movememnt properly and doing whole choreography

kakobrekla: date remains.
mircea_popescu: yup.
kakobrekla: just thought date is worth something and shouldnt be destroyed
mircea_popescu: yup. good call.
mircea_popescu: the fact that !unrate !rate cycle wipes it, but simple !rate update doesn't is actually the best of both worlds.
mircea_popescu: decimation: punkman: that's 2-3 billion signups <<< and yet, in spite of that claim (probably unsubstantiated, as all of these, but certainly more defensible in VC terms than anyone else's), g+ isn't worht anything.
mircea_popescu: if there's a better example as to why the "grow big fast" so-called strategy doiesn't work, here it is. google's own g+ is not worth naything in spite of 3bn users.
mircea_popescu: that watsapp no users claimed as however many seemed to be worth something when fb paid for them is no support of the theory. that g+ isn't worth anything IS counterproof.
mircea_popescu: because that's how proof works : that you didn't break into any houses all through the day of the 29th doesn't help you in court. that you did on the 25th, sinks you.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well santa clause is allowed to BNE on the 25th me thoughts
thestringpuller: claus*
thestringpuller: maybe the entire point of G+ is to prove Facebook isn't worth anything?
mircea_popescu: nah, he only enters.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, actually, in a backwards sort of way it's exactly that. google can't afford to have zuck pretend like oh, "we're better than google". so if he tries they can go "heh, we're fb plus other things".
mircea_popescu: strategy.
thestringpuller: if that strategy succeeds, the bubble that is facebook maybe unprecedented upon collapse.
mircea_popescu: all bubbles are really the same size.
mircea_popescu: their nominal monetary value is not important.
thestringpuller: this is good point, the idiots will be left holding the bag.
thestringpuller: as is always the case
thestringpuller: look at cnet d00d
mircea_popescu: moreover, there's a maximal value of a bubble, when it pops. this is driven by the headcount and so forth, nothing else.
mircea_popescu: albania's bubble was like, 9x% of maximum. russia's a few years earlier, more like 60%ish. romania's a good 80%

mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: not "in a sense". in all senses.
thestringpuller: just making sure I understand the concept.
mircea_popescu: bubbles are built not out of money but out of dreams, hopes and assorted verbiage. which is why money is such an approximative approach to attack them.
mircea_popescu: queue newton's despair.
mircea_popescu: in principle, some pacific islanders with their six acres of unarable land and fifty coconuts can make a bubble just as well as new york can.
mircea_popescu: and when it pops, it will be JUST AS destructive to economy & society, according to how close to the absolute maximum it got.
thestringpuller: yea. not many people are going to "front" the pacific islanders dreams with drugs, sex and rock & roll in the same way US-ians do with Sillycon Valley
mircea_popescu: so you think.
mircea_popescu: but in fact, sex, drugs and rock and roll are a permanence in human history.
thestringpuller: or at least I look at a bubble as someone fronting someone something
thestringpuller: be it ferarri's, hookers, blow, etc.
mircea_popescu: yeah. but the something in question chiefly is "social and economic preeminence"
mircea_popescu: it's not anything concrete.
thestringpuller: it can be "something" concrete like say a house.
thestringpuller: bought with vc money that will never be repaid
mircea_popescu: only if the something concrete like say a house is also something abstract like the meaning of a house.
thestringpuller: given to a business that burns it all in the form of salaries
mircea_popescu: bubbles are built out of signifiers not out of significates.
thestringpuller: Could you elaborate a bit?
mircea_popescu: these are terms of art, you go read up on language theoree :)
thestringpuller: i iz bad @ wordz
thestringpuller: thiz is why I liten to hip hop

mircea_popescu: but you'd expect i'd see it. or at any rate i do.
davout: fluffypony: LOL
mircea_popescu: davout the negative doesn't actually cunt, you're right. yes means anal.
davout: mircea_popescu: you're such a mean harassing and hateful individual, also privilege
mircea_popescu: no means yes. no but no means no.
mircea_popescu: understand rape culture.
fluffypony: I thought davout was the mean harassing person for all the gavinharassing in that IRC log?
davout: i have a lot to learn
mircea_popescu: gavinherring is not a woman.

fluffypony: you know the redditards are going to get you murdered off twitter
mircea_popescu: no that's not murder.

fluffypony: they have nothing better to do
mircea_popescu: davout who are you going to twitterkill btw ?
fluffypony: I vote for Roger Ver
mircea_popescu: dude can't he pick his own ?
mircea_popescu: davout : TRIGGER WARNING!!!
davout: then comes along this random neckbeard, pretend-cto, that would totally penetrate my security, if only he had some time
fluffypony: no! he must be decentralised and let us vote!

davout: now i'm blocked, gotta find another one

davout: they said it was hdd failure
mircea_popescu: lol ?!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Post is updated this morning to include their claim of hdd failure
jurov: you know, some hdds escaped... will take at least days till they catch all of them
mircea_popescu: and here i thought hotswappable arrays are common practice.
Naphex: jurov: well i'll telly ou, that if you don't have spare hdd's
davout: their HDDs were victim of their own success
Naphex: good luck finding compatible spares in less then 5 days
mircea_popescu: Naphex you know the marquardt idiot is sitting on like 5mn worth of donations / revenues ?
davout: or maybe it's their bank that's placing arbitrary access limits on their HDDs
Naphex: mircea_popescu: yeah, i've heard. which makes it way worsse
mircea_popescu: the plague of bitcoin : it empowered all sorts of people who, well... aren't really up to the task.
Naphex: not having spare hdd's available for your server, will make you rage so hard, while you call all the available suppliers
Naphex: ofcourse they won't have any available, especially for your raid
fluffypony: oh wow
fluffypony: I've just read the Twitter "thread"
mircea_popescu: Naphex the dcs that work with noobs generally (if well managed) do two things : only use a few specific types, and keep a supply on hand.
fluffypony: HE FORESAW THE VALUE COLLAPSE
fluffypony: he truly is the prophet of this generation
mircea_popescu: yeah, except "price collapse" != "value collapse".
Naphex: mircea_popescu: doubt anyone was monitoring those servers. HDD's give quite a few warnings before blowing up. Especially in raid setups
mircea_popescu: they may.
Naphex: red/yellow lights would be blinking
mircea_popescu: i have seen cases where they do not./

fluffypony: it still boggles my mind that with all the donation money he can't afford to pay a part-time sysadmin to get them setup properly
mircea_popescu: Naphex very rare indeed.
fluffypony: it would take maybe a day to move that backend over to a Galera cluster
Naphex: i've had full hardware hosted and running for 6+ years. dozens of hdd's switched and replaced. maybe 1 complete raid failure on HP Proliants
fluffypony: how does he not understand points-of-failure?
mircea_popescu: Naphex i recently passed the 1k physical hdds lifetime award. and seen it exactly once.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony because he is a 24 yo derp exactly like any 24 yo derp you could get by sending a naked 23 yo hottie parading down the street.
Naphex: sounds right
Naphex: mircea_popescu: was using HP Proliants for a while, had one that the whole 8x raid array just barked, as soon as i replaced 1 hdd, the other would fail
Naphex: had to replace the whole array
adlai: re bct downtime... "is your hdd running? BETTER GO CATCH IT!"

adlai: hey that makes me feel young again! \o/

fluffypony: maybe he's related to usagi.
thestringpuller: ^- lol
mircea_popescu: nah, usagi is mentally ill.
Naphex: maybe he used SSD's without the controller having TRIM support :))
Naphex: thats a new hipster way to blow up your stuff

mircea_popescu: if bitcoin nodes would cost something like 50 bucks and 6 hours' time off a computer-aware kid, that'd help immensely
mircea_popescu: because practically everyone has 4 hole router at home of which 2-3 holes are used. so get that plugged into the 4th and there we go, node problem fixed.
