fluffypony: BingoBoingo: someone needs to fab the silicon, and are you going to get an electron microscope to check that its to-spec?

fluffypony: Diablo-D3: if we're going air-gapped for offline signing/decryption ethernet shouldn't be a concern

BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Not at all. I am jsut claiming C is more portable.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: C is portable to shit that should not be running C
Diablo-D3: anything written in modern C simply will not work on them without a lot of help

fluffypony: so someone needs to write GPG for BASIC?
Diablo-D3: the gpg for dos thing is obviously a 32 bit binary

Diablo-D3: if you know how to use it, its a nice language
BingoBoingo: C is a nice language. I am not disputing that.

Diablo-D3: bounce: I had a love affair with erlang for awhile

BingoBoingo: I think asciilifeform is right about the Lisps being the future though
bounce: relevant for this channel is the gpg-card thingies. problem with those is that the source isn't available, though a spec is. an open source implementation would be nice, and perhaps cheaper than sourcing the closed-source thing.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: all languages are slowly becoming lisp, including lisp
Diablo-D3: lisp really is the best language ever created
BingoBoingo: Not really, clojure becomes less LISP every release
bounce: so if you're looking for an embedded type project, that's as a good an angle as anything

BingoBoingo: bounce: Python is probably more LISPy than Ruby or Clojure
fluffypony: python is definitely more lispy than both
BingoBoingo: bounce: The bedrock abstractions are more solid
Diablo-D3: the only lisps Im interested in is chicken and racket
Diablo-D3: bounce: ruby is just a mistake imo
Diablo-D3: it was written by people who clearly were not veteran programmers and understood no good patterns
BingoBoingo: Ruby is basically a python fork that broke the underlying interpreter
bounce: did they get around to plug the resource leaks in the reference interpreter?
BingoBoingo: PHP was a nobel but flawed attempt to make HTML a scriptable server language
bounce: lovely how it attracts nothing but n00bs and how even the core devs reflect that sad fact. a fractal of bad design, indeed.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: I will agree ruby is very python inspired
BingoBoingo: In this way PHP was at least born with a purpose. Where as Ruby was born with "lol, suck cocks"
Diablo-D3: although Im not sure python has good parts
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Python is great as a modern alternative to BASIC
Diablo-D3: I dont understand how people can handle a language that successfully resists static analysis

BingoBoingo: bounce: Kinetic is the seiko term, other manufacterers use different names because trademarks. That is for electrical charging by those means though.
BingoBoingo: Seiko still makes proper mechanical automatic movements though.
bounce: kid in school had a solar, very sparse design. just even matte background for the face, which also was the solar panel only you'd not notice.
BingoBoingo: The sun's overrated. I'd kind of prefer an all tritium powered watch
bounce: used to have a... citizen? automatic. need fixing though, in the end it was off by half an hour a day. should've gotten it fixed while still in warranty. silly me.
BingoBoingo: bounce: It really depends on the particular watch whether it is worth saving or not.
BingoBoingo: bounce: Even in the worst case you want to keep them stored well in case everyone else with them decides they aren't worth saving and you end up with something rate
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have yet to actually see a quartz automatic outisde of a few questionable seiko examples
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seiko has a mechanical powered quartz regulated movement they call "Spring Drive"
BingoBoingo: Seiko also has a mechanically recharged all electric quarts they call kinetic
mircea_popescu: oh oh. yeah some swiss makers actually tried using quartz oscialltors as an error limiter at some point
BingoBoingo: The couple I've seen inherited the worst parts of quartz and mechanical movements.
fluffypony: you wouldn't be able to tell any of those are solar panels at a glance
BingoBoingo: ANd the only I've known of were all made by Japs
BingoBoingo: Probably. It is hard to compete with a CR 2032 at anything.
BingoBoingo: I'd like to see more accutron like tuning fork movements though.

bounce: on IIRC my watch is a casio instead. hm. doesn't really matter.

fluffypony: they're not badly priced in decent condition
BingoBoingo: Well, decent doesn't say too much... How many people alive can make them sing (I actually, literally mean sing)
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: sing by striking the tuning fork?
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Not striking, resonating. That's what the coils of copper wire do. It's a fucking watch, not a rail gun.
fluffypony: although a pocket rail gun would be amazing
BingoBoingo: A silver oxide cell would offer the worst possible discharge curve for that purpose though.

gribble: Anduck was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 19 hours, 51 minutes, and 13 seconds ago: <Anduck> :)
bounce: why don't you ask him? op on -otc. could be someone nicksquatted you and he was a little too enthousiastic
cgcardona_: don't see how someone nicksquatted me - i have it registered w/ nickserv
bounce: you don't have it set to enforce it, too
bounce: why didn't you get the nick without _ released and use that? you can still do that, by the by.
cgcardona_: you mean that I don't have nickserv set to enforce my nick registration?
fluffypony: although WHY that isn't the default on Freenode is beyond me

cgcardona_: someone joining btc-otc as me on 2014-04-20 07:34:38 CDT and 2014-04-20 07:34:24 CDT
cgcardona_: so now that I have it set to enforce it will make someone enter my nickserv each time and if not kick them off of my nick?
bounce views nickserv as rather fascist already, nevermind nick enforcing. it's the thing to do on here, but, you know. can also argue that with only gribble it'd give more incentive to check with gribble first and foremost, and to accept no substitutes.
fluffypony: well not kick them off, I think it forces a nick change to GuestXXXXX
cgcardona_: fluffypony: thanks for the help. that totally blows.

davout: mircea_popescu: i'd say fungibility is the absence of identity, anonymity is the absence of name, but i'm too tipsy on that delicious rosé champagne to even imagine arguing the point properly
mircea_popescu: stupid enough to not realise he can't have a "my" as nobody, clueless enough to fail to distinguish a verb from a possessive. this is reddit.

mircea_popescu: this entire shit is backwards. views, which are not fungible, people pretend are in fact fungible. then anons, which are absolutely fungible, people pretend like are not. apparently the web is quite counterintuitive.
davout: mircea_popescu: derps might be fungible as anonymous entities, entities we couldn't care to name, it doesn't really impede their ability to each own a bitcent

davout: mircea_popescu: yes, but fungibility and anonymity lie in the observer, property lies with the things themselves
bounce: yeah, no. with davout on this one, "anonymity" is lack of a label, not necessarily lack of an underlying identity. on the flip side, you already know what jehova's witnesses will try and tell you without you needing their name, regardless of whether they offer their name. if they do, they're no longer anonymous. it doesn't affect your esteem for what they're trying to tell you.
mircea_popescu: davout the fact that the person "deep down" "twu wuvs" you is immaterial.
mircea_popescu: for all you know pet rocks have distinct personalities.
mircea_popescu: to personalize they need to de-jehova-witnessize for you, before you.
davout: derp1 and derp2 might be fungible from our pov, but derp1 can still own 1 btc while derp2 owns 2
bounce: not to you. inside their own circles their worth is measured by their zeal.
mircea_popescu: but what happens inside the pet rock is uninteresting in this discussion.
davout: mircea_popescu: it is, because knowledge of different informations translates directly to ownership, or non-ownership of bitcoins for example
mircea_popescu: unless and untill this becomes transpared to you it is immaterial.
mircea_popescu: after it becomes transparent to you, it already broke that anonimity.
bounce: soldiers are cannon fodder to you, individuals to themselves and their bosses. look, they even wear name tags.

davout: i don't think that my ability to distinguish derps is really related to their ability to own stuff, it is not necessary for me to be able to know they are able to destroy a bitcoin for them to actually be able to destroy a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: davout your ability to distinguish derps is however central to their ability to exist.
mircea_popescu: you can be bios, but you can not be zoon unrecognised.
mircea_popescu: so yes, animals they can be. people however, they can not be, unless recognised.
bounce: there's this conflation of "person" to mean "someone who matters (to me)", which is highly viewpoint-dependent. your basic definition appears to be "someone who matters in the bitcoin sphere and can be trusted not to fsck up (too badly)". might need a suitable word for that.
mircea_popescu: bounce it merely means "someone who can be distinguished from the others"
davout: what you're saying is pretty much that derps exist in a quantum superposition of owning, and not-owning stuff, and that their actual ownership resolves when i actually observe, aka measure them
mircea_popescu: which reduces to "someone who could, in principle, matter"
mircea_popescu: because the undistinguishable can't ever matter, by definition.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "different" derps is like speaking of photons as billiard balls.
davout: that is true if you consider that everything that matters is only what you have knowledge of
mircea_popescu: perhaps an excusable approximation in some narrow cases, but wrong in principle.
mircea_popescu: davout everythint that matters is only what COULD BE HAD knowledge of.
bounce: ``In ancient Rome, the word "persona" (Latin) or "prosopon" ([...]: Greek) originally referred to the masks worn by actors on stage.'' --wikipedia

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 10 @ 0.0671117 = 0.6711 BTC [-] {5}
bounce: anyway that doesn't help much, since "distinguishing from the others" implies a yardstick, that in turn is a choice bound by context
mircea_popescu: yardstick is a matter of measuring, and thus relegated to quantitative discussions. we're discussing qualitative matters here.
bounce: we're measuring the quality. when is someone a person? whether the scale is actually countable is immaterial.
bounce: s/is countable/has countable subdivisions/
bounce: you still end up with two ends of a stick. "person", "not a person"
bounce: or sides. you can discern both states, even if the distance between them is infinitesmal and only exists as an idea to boot
bounce: when's the liquour strong enough? well, if it's over $strength. something like that.
mircea_popescu: let's try a different tack. you know what a cog is. you also know what a sphere is.
mircea_popescu: good anonimity, just like good sphericity, relies on not being a cog. at all.
mircea_popescu: conversely, good cogicity, just like good personhood, relies on not being a sphere. at all.
davout: bounce: the way i understand the argument is that ownership is akin to the state of an electron, until you observe it exists in a superposition of states, it can only have a state when you observe it
mircea_popescu: now, this does not reduce to "liquor being strong ENOUGH"

davout: speaking of which i'm on way to pop the second bottle, please disregard all my further comments
mircea_popescu: there's no serious consideration of an oil-alcohol mixture being "storng enough", as you won't drink vodka-canoia oil cocktails
bounce: disagree. it'd mean that the only good person be a totally non-anonymous person, so, real personhood is only open to, say, obama. or dubya.
mircea_popescu: bounce actually, misplaced shards of anonimity ruin personhood. which is why i keep having to ask derps posing as ceos here "who's we".
mircea_popescu: conversely, misplaced shards of personhood ruin anonimity. such as w/e, silk road guy.
mircea_popescu: "Now academics learn to take a paper or a class of papers, imitate the style, the organization; copy the phraseology, discuss the historical literature and find some wrinkle on the problem that makes it look like a contribution. This is what tends to be published, and this is what seems to be "original". And these works never survive the author."
mircea_popescu: because someone somewhere in a bureaucracy figured it's a good idea to fucking industrialise research.
bounce: guy posing as "CEO" claiming to have lots of minions needs a good team. since claim made, up to him to back it up. that's not quite the same as requiring to know his every move or his every thought.
bounce: s/back it up/&, show he has such a team/ etc. bit forgetful with the details today
mircea_popescu: nobody requires to know his every move or thought in any sense.
bounce: that's be implied through "total non-anonymity" though
bounce: no. hence the conflation.
mircea_popescu: the criteria is good wot relations, not "knowing their every thought"
bounce: I'm not disagreeing with what you're trying to say, just that the terminology could stand improvement.
bounce: (yet god knows every thought of the devil's, and being a good little god... lets him be?)
mircea_popescu: if god actually knew every thought of the devil, he'd have not been surprised.
mircea_popescu: god'd like to. but tis impossible, inasmuch as the devil is human, and god is not that good.
bounce: you're saying the poor devil is unoriginal?
bounce: oh well. AIUI paradise lost would beg to differ. haven't gotten around to actually reading the thing.
bounce: anyway, "good wot relations" means that you've met and dealt with a number of other people, and gathered their esteem, and in doing so gathered a total esteem enough to be deemed worthy of the community as a whole.
bounce: "liqour strong enough" if you will
mircea_popescu: understanding rather than esteem. the people you've dealt with are marks you may be recognised by.
bounce: and every user has a differend yardstick, making the whole thing subjective to use.
mircea_popescu: two hours ago i said i suspect i'm weeks away from a major breakthrough in economics.
mircea_popescu: bounce im not sure you have a usable definition of subjective in mind.
bounce: also more or less saved me having to do a write-up
mircea_popescu: if it's the kneejerk "not usg diddled" then might as well discard it.
bounce: "subjective" as every user of the wot looking to form an opinion on some other user of the wot does so as he deems good, mayhaps taking into account that raters will also use their own criteria to rate with.
mircea_popescu: so inasmuch as good is done, this is optimal not subjective.
mircea_popescu: if he looked to do what he felt like it could have been subjective, as a proxy for aesthetic i guess.
bounce: what I mean is that even if the outcome is roughly the same for different onlookers, their conclusions are (supposedly) their own; like how you notice that there's no intl. standard of interpreting ratings. nor should there be.

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 20 @ 0.063133 = 1.2627 BTC [-] {10}
bounce: WOT ratings can well mean different things to you and me. they're not even ment to be used "objectively", ie in a manner independent of people's opinions.
bounce: an objective measure? a metre, standard the world over.
bounce: whether I take a tape measure to $derp or you do it, when done correctly we both will conclude the guy's length to be $whatever. that'd be objective. we both look at his WOT ratings, we might well draw different conclusions on the same data.
bounce: we could devise a "standard" scoring test for WOT ratings and still draw differing conclusions based on what we see
mircea_popescu: this is more akin to you using inches and me using cm.
mircea_popescu: both of these "objectively" examples you provide strictly adhere to your definition of subjectivity,
bounce: er? I gave one objective and one subjective example?
mircea_popescu: <bounce> an objective measure? a metre, standard the world over. < 1 ; <bounce> whether I take a tape measure to $derp or you do it, when done correctly we both will conclude the guy's length to be $whatever. < 2
mircea_popescu: your "done corectly" is there precisely because you too know this :
mircea_popescu: god help us if our opinions of these subjectives do not agree.
bounce: both're objective; I don't need a judgement call here, I look at the tape measure.
mircea_popescu: but you need a judgement call for the tape measure to exist in the first place.
mircea_popescu: you seem to be roughly in the position of the slave who says his master's will is divine in nature, because it's outside of his reach.
bounce: eh, I think we're past that. I can put three lava lamps on a table and count them. you'll count three too. no feels or beliefs involved. even if our counting system is ultimately arbitrary in it existence
mircea_popescu: while outside of his reach it may well be, his master's just another guy.
mircea_popescu: so numbers are your standard of objectivity, but then when i ask you <mircea_popescu> are you using "subjectivity" merely to note the fact that the numeric method does not apply ? you say no.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 50 @ 0.00600001 = 0.3 BTC [+]
bounce: well, what is "the numeric method"? I can devise and use a system of numeric scales based on how much I feel I know about someone else.
bounce: the end result to that would still be subjective. someone else might well feel a different way.

cgcardona_: ;;rate danielpbarron 1 #bitcoin-assets regular and defended me when a scammer squatted on my nick in #bitcoin-otc
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user danielpbarron has changed from 1 to 1.
artifexd: cgcardona_: I wouldn't worry about total wot rating since it is a meaningless number.
artifexd: Sometimes a negative rating would be a good thing depending on who it came from.
artifexd: Imagine you had a negative rating from mtgox with the comment "TROLL!!!!!!"
artifexd: I would see such a rating as reflecting positively on the ratee.
rithm: i'd almost pay for a negrate from mgicaltux
rithm: negrate from a scammer is a badge of honor
artifexd: Exactly. So you can't just look at the sum of the ratings and learn anything useful.
artifexd: Does anyone know of any wot visualization tools? I imagine something like bubbles with names and the lines connecting those bubbles are colored/weighted according to the rating.
bounce: sure you can. "person has been rated N times, some positive, some negative." -- negative ratings might well be the more interesting to read.
artifexd: When I said "look at the sum", I meant look at the single number which is the sum of all ratings.
bounce: the fact that it exists at all is an interesting datum, inasmuch it doesn't say "not rated yet"
bounce: if it's well over 10 or -10 that's a clear indication it wasn't by just one rating either
artifexd: I would argue that the fact that it exists at all encourages the improper use of the wot.
bounce: no railroading powertools

rithm: BUT I HAVE TO CHANGE NICKS FOR THAT

dexX7: the tool used was
https://gephi.org/ which allows to import simple csvs but it's really slow for large datasets (or i simply don't know how to use it properly which is not unlikely :)
kakobrekla: rithm, yeah, although i fixed the parsing side, its not gonna work because it would break the simplicity of the design, so nick around if you wanna dick around
