ben_vulpes: there is a reason i call this kind of document torture.

ben_vulpes: anyways, armsmithing for the next engagements is terribly interesting and entirely impossible to do from where i am.
ben_vulpes: those who do in these parts - aren't interested in novel strategies or applications of commodity technology
ben_vulpes: the *real* value though, is in the strategist given free reign to be creative.

I don't want plaintext output, but rather a better format with the exact same formatting as the original pdf that allows me to click, drag-and-drop and add new content. The authors etc should all be progr
gabriel_laddel: ammatically accessible "new content" should be anything I wish - 3D etc.
gabriel_laddel: all the data used to perform the computations should have a "warning - unlinked <location of data, who is responsible for it>" unless a human resolved it to the correct source and bundled it along with the paper

davout: mircea_popescu: haha you suck at deedbotting
trinque: mircea_popescu: it just doesn't trust that domain
trinque: dpaste and pastebin currently
mircea_popescu: trinque what is the point of this url restriction business ?
davout: mircea_popescu: prolly not having to regex a gpg signed message out of a webpage
thestringpuller: haven't seen you in awhile davout. how's things on the other side of the pond?
mircea_popescu: well in this case it's plaintext. but srsly, we have no good reason nor a standing policy to force everyone to use pastebins we don't own.
mircea_popescu: trinque if it's to prevent abuse in some way, think that only voiced people can issue the command. if they do something unseemly complain.
trinque: its actually even more constrained than that, as it will reject keys not in assbot's l1 or l2
trinque shall dial back the paranoia a notch
trinque: ah I meant in regards to the domain limiting

mircea_popescu: well so now that you're done with deedbot you can start over on a whole new raft of stuff :D
trinque: I'm gonna make this thing real nice; I have more time this evening available for it
trinque: also writing things against bitcoin is ass
mircea_popescu: it is. my skin was crawling earlier with that 2011 feeling of "holy shiot we're back to writing bitcoin stuff here"
trinque: mircea_popescu: it's criminal
trinque: the json api thing, what the fucking fuck
jurov: wh it rejects the explo.yt/fmpif stuff?
trinque: there needs to be a word for design choices which open up an infinite space of taped on features
trinque: deedbot has three tables in sqlite, message bundle and transaction
mircea_popescu: trinque include a deed explaining you're maintaining it and listing its feed btc addy.
trinque: mircea_popescu: sure thing
trinque: it will soon be aware of transactions which have funded it, so people can just throw it some change when needed
trinque: I was thinking it'd be appropriate for it to announce when the tank's getting low
davout: mircea_popescu: lol, great success

trinque: ascii_field: rewritten, dunno how many incarnations there have been
ascii_field: must be trickier than it looks, writing a deedbot
mircea_popescu: writing it is not the trick. keeping it online is the trick.
ascii_field: the exchanges are plugged into a pipe that leads straight to hell, out of which devils emerge every so often
☟︎ trinque: I wanted to write this in part to see that I could accomplish the "keeping it online" bit
ascii_field: but deedbot just needs a box that'll stay up, no ?
trinque: dunno, is this going to be the target of hax at some point? I wrote it as though it would be
BingoBoingo: If it wasn't going to be targeted it wouldn't be much of a registrar

gabriel_laddel: I flipped through an ACM mag that was lying around the house and see an employment advertisement for the NSA on the back - "The NSA is an equal opportunity employer", and it names some specializations they're interested in, including "quantum computing" and "discrete mathematics". I visit the websitef, because lolwtf and find this:
trinque: should be pretty damn easy to tell that the thing's been fucked with though, given the output or lack thereof
gabriel_laddel: "Our vision is to create a workplace environment that reflects diversity and inclusion in its broadest context and that ensures every employee has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential and is treated with respect and fairness." -- GEN Keith Alexander - Director NSA/Chief CSS
gabriel_laddel: There is a bunch more of this nonsense available on their website. "African Americans in Cryptologic history" in spite of there not being a single(!) black mathematician.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you're starting to understand why the us can't win.
ascii_field was turned down, just as expected, almost certainly for 'too ethnic'
trinque: that's right up there with feminists calling for the marines' standards to be lowered so they can meet them
mircea_popescu: trinque no, it's up there with some soi-dissant feminist derps writing a book on the "women in Marines history"
ascii_field: can you picture a worse thing for applying to nsa ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: seems backwards, haw
ascii_field: just wait till somebody hooks up the uzbeks with the 'racism racket'
ascii_field: didn't happen with chechen because they look (to americans - of course) like ordinary europeans
mircea_popescu: of course, by his own admission general k alexander failed pretty hard huh ?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl do you measure the scoobot uptime at all ?
gabriel_laddel: can you picture a worse thing for applying to nsa ? << Is there something 'wrong' with Russians?
gabriel_laddel: outside of the communism thing, I'm unaware of them being generally stupid, failing to create and maintain civilization etc.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: yes! soon as i get back home

mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel they are generally stupid, it's the exceptions that save them
trinque: gabriel_laddel: it's only fair
mircea_popescu: and historically, they're mostly hard at work trying to stomp those exceptions out.
ascii_field: i'll spoil a little of it: manufacturing samples arriving sometime late this wk. or early next
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I mean, Germans are "generally stupid" too, but when compared to e.g. disabled people.
mircea_popescu: disabled people are actually (rightfully) esteemed in the trade.
assbot: deedbot- is not registered in WoT.
davout: did i hear "manufacturing samples"??
ascii_field: davout: found an outfit with fully robotic assembly line (see log)
ascii_field: if i'm satisfied with result, will have them place the passives for the initial run
mircea_popescu: Something like Block #4534 - deed gldfjg lfdkjgldf fdlkjglfd etc.
trinque: mircea_popescu: ah so publish as a bundle, but then upload the parts separate?
trinque: by publish I mean, publish the hash txn
mircea_popescu: not clear what those words mean, so let's be explicit : as far as the website is concerned, the preferred display is for every block that included a bundle to be listed, clickable, lead to bundle. to the right of it, enumerated, the individual deeds that were therein bundled
