williamdunne: decimation: I think the current logic is slippage
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132463 << what are you two on about ? obviously if the keys can be cracked you do nbot wish to use them. who uses bitcoin addresses with known pubkeys ?
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 00:05:30; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132454 << how could the answer possibly be anything other than yes ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132410 << SCANDAL!11 mod6 ? ben_vulpes ? << haha
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 21:49:50; davout: meanwhile, http://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/ leads to a "The Free Trial is Over" stock page XD
decimation: well, I was thinking about the case where one couldn't 'upgrade' a key because of threats to existing key lengths
mircea_popescu: i don't get it ?
decimation: implicitly, this means that the existing keyholders are sentenced to cuckoldry?
mircea_popescu: not sure what cuckoldry is, but, they can just register another key and push their stuff to it ?
decimation: right, so either they pay you or they lose their btc to some key guesser?
mircea_popescu: how would the key guesser know which key to guess ?
mircea_popescu: besides, factoring 4096 keys is not quite that much of a given. for one thing, 1kb keys have not been factored yet. for the other... moore law, again ?
decimation: it's a good point, but is strong enough to close the escape hatch?
mircea_popescu: iguess we see once some chickens escape.
decimation: fair enough. I would wager against it happening in the next 20 years
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts 4096 keys will EVER be factored.
decimation: me too
mircea_popescu: the idea that computing power is a monotone... heh. out of the crooked timber of humanity, no monotone was ever made.
mircea_popescu: (for they following at home : 4x as many bits does not mean 4x as large numbers. when computer registers went from 32 to 64 bits, maxint went from 2147483647 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is betting on civilization collapse before 4k factored, aha
asciilifeform: not bad bet, either
mircea_popescu: doewsn't even have to be collapse. consider : a hot area of research in the 50s/60s even 70s was genetics of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: what's the progress in the 1990 - 2010 period ?
asciilifeform: or more mundanely, breeder reactors
mircea_popescu: supposedly a major contributor to gdp worldwide is, mental health medication.
asciilifeform: fields get 'magicked' out of existence all the time.
mircea_popescu: what EXACTLY is the progress, past 30 years ? ballas has the story in detail
mircea_popescu: or even closer to home : ai.
mircea_popescu: where is the mit ai lab ? it was SO respectable in the 60s
decimation: they sorta turned into that place where that chick sews shit
asciilifeform: the collapse of ai ('ai winter') quite arguably created a black hole with sufficient suction to take -all- of computing with it
asciilifeform: (however delayed)
mircea_popescu: i don't see a future for the stuff covered by moore's law, for the very simple reason we could call "obama's arab league failure"
mircea_popescu: to wit, the usians got beaten at it, so now it will have to no longer exist
asciilifeform: at any rate, moore's law as this passive quasi-mythical gifts-from-god thing hasn't been cryptographically relevant for a while.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's a snippet that will be perhaps insturctive. the ai winter and the vg winter happened almost in tandem. the latter resolved within a year.by the end of the decade vg was WAY ahead of the beginning.
asciilifeform: the only genuine concern is 'unicorns' (p==np, optical factorizer, entirely unknown strange) for which the incentive is more or less infinite and so will come into existence if at all physically possible
mircea_popescu: supposedly ai had much brighter minds at its disposal. what made the difference ?
mircea_popescu: video games
decimation: ^ note that a similar incentive exists for alchemy
mircea_popescu: 1983. the thing completely collapsed
mircea_popescu: 99.x% loss in sales, most commentators agreeing "it was prolly a fad" etc.
asciilifeform: decimation: see old threads re: how neutron bombardment caps the price of gold
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more or less everyone knows about the mass atari burials, etc
decimation: asciilifeform: before that, astroid mining presumably
mircea_popescu: so, why ? why did the geniuses of mit fare so very much worse than the rag tag band of idiots and imbeciles coding for z80 in their bedrooms ?
asciilifeform: i would argue that the overvaluation of games was considerably less dramatic than of ai
mircea_popescu: they both don't actually exist...
asciilifeform: games, it turned out, were worth something.
mircea_popescu: they're both predicated on entertainment...
asciilifeform: people apparently sometimes like to play games.
mircea_popescu: and people don't like intelligence ?
asciilifeform: games, it turned out, could be produced, in the short term, economically.
mircea_popescu: allegedly.
asciilifeform: ai was a little more like 'hot fusion'
asciilifeform: (specifically hot)
mircea_popescu: the relation between games as produced and games is about the same as the relation between intelligence as produced and intelligence
mircea_popescu: so no, ai wasn't special.
mircea_popescu: it is my considered belief that it was SPECIFICALLY the unwarranted delusion that ai is special that ruined it.
mircea_popescu: not because it wasn't done. but because the idiots doing it (yes, minsky and all) were idiots about the one thing that matters, which had little to do with their actual target.
mircea_popescu: basically, a video game producer's view of MIT AI lab is "hey, it was a field-sized Daikatana"
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY the same. "oh, we have money, oh, we're in it to get it right"
mircea_popescu: bla bla.
asciilifeform: what ruined, very mundanely, is that it was part of reagan's massively-distributed embezzlement thing, which came to an end 'like all good things'
asciilifeform: live by usg, die by usg
Namworld: What's the opinion in this room about living expenses? What's acceptable % of revenue wise, how much should it costs, what's important stuff and less important stuff.
Namworld: I somewhat have a preference for smaller living space, higher quality goods/food.
asciilifeform: Namworld: i for one have no idea, i've never lived yet
Namworld: I'm completely derailing the current topic, sorry
mircea_popescu: the best advice i can give is, if you're having the girls living separate, pair them up. much happier girls, cheaper.
Namworld: Well considering I don't have a harem... that's not really something I have on my mind.
mircea_popescu: you see what i mean.
Namworld: More people in less space is cheaper and happier?
mircea_popescu: there is that rabi and goats story, but no.
Namworld: I don't see what you mean then.
cazalla: Namworld, know the get a discount on your bills trick?
Namworld: I often hear living in the city as someone poor (minimum salary) is harsh. It always seemed a bit absurd to me. Minimum salary here is ~$1400 per month after taxes. CAD$10.55 per hour.
asciilifeform: Namworld: and what's the minimal rent there?
mircea_popescu: cazalla costanza's "no here kruger" ?
Namworld: 400-550
asciilifeform: for what? a cemetery plot ?
Namworld: For studio/1br apartments
mircea_popescu: alf's privileged.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, lulz no but for anyone else, retention staff often have better deals than pay on time ask no questions customers, so you port your electricity/gas to another provider, old provider comes back to you during cool down period and offers something better
cazalla: and as i've mentioned a few times before.. take a roll of toilet paper home from work each day
cazalla: and if you're really game, load up on top cuts from supermarkets but weigh them in the self-serve as carrots
asciilifeform: cazalla: take a roll of toilet paper home from work each day << top soviet state-of-art.
cazalla: nothing like sirloin at 99c a kg
mircea_popescu: cazalla i had an entire fucking lulz with the elec corp in romania. they wanted to give me a deal if i prepaid, so i prepaid for like a year. then the eu elec price explosion happened, and so they paid me to get out of the prepay deal. then prices went back down.
mircea_popescu: in the end i got however many free megawatts.
Namworld: 99c a kilo? Never seen anything that cheap here.
Namworld: mircea_popescu ha!
mircea_popescu: but it was fully unintentional, they just kept running themselves into the wall
mircea_popescu: while i was nodding
mircea_popescu: noob energy futures traders, irl.
asciilifeform: they oughta have bought mpoe & dice
mircea_popescu: little do they know.
mircea_popescu: as hanbot sez, "the space to draw one's conclusion is big and fulla dragons."
Namworld: If only that... $420 rent here, split in 2 for a 1 bedroom. I'm installed in the living room/kitchen as if it was a studio. Roommate in room.
mircea_popescu: Namworld so send the roommate out to turn tricks ? should be 100 an hour at least.
Namworld: I'm no a pimp.
cazalla: you'd be better off using the spare rooms to grow dope than renting them out Namworld
mircea_popescu: why not ? they get kickass hats.
mircea_popescu: plus those platforms with live koi
mircea_popescu: cazalla nah, pink > green yo.
Namworld: Yeah, I wanted to, but I didn't have the hat.
hanbot: live *koi*?! how big are your feet, man?!
mircea_popescu: where's that butters instructional video...
mircea_popescu: do you know what i am saying!
cazalla: mircea_popescu, ya been watching too much breaking bad
mircea_popescu: hanbot as big as the penis, it's a rule.
mircea_popescu: anyway, maybe they were goldfish, i dunno.
asciilifeform: unrelated - anybody read the magnetics links ?
asciilifeform: because it was brain-melting
Namworld: I have rent, electricity bill, food (good food and delivered at door), cellphone and Internet all fitting within ~$500, depending on food selection that month.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is now a quesadilla.
asciilifeform: approximately.
mircea_popescu: Namworld so then what's the bitch ? you're not seriously contemplating cutting out of that 500 are you ?
Namworld: No. Feels like I have everything I need. I'm just perplexed by people who don't have the excuse of kids struggling on minimum salary.
mircea_popescu: they probably smoke.
asciilifeform: Namworld: wait till you meet the folks struggling on maximal salary
asciilifeform: and everything in between
Namworld: asciilifeform, I'm pretty sure working with folks struggling on maximal salary is a masochistic endeavour.
Namworld: You have to enjoy headaches and/or brain aneurysm.
Namworld: mircea_popescu, not always. Even then, I don't see many smokers smoking enough to burn almost $1000 a month.
asciilifeform: Namworld: one way to 'smoke' 1000/mo. is to live in usa and pay it for 'health insurance'
mircea_popescu: what's a pack, $10 ?
mircea_popescu: 3 a day is perhaps a little much
mircea_popescu: http://digitalmoneytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/shutterstock_120783400-300x199.jpg << anyone explain what the advertising-exec looking chick is doing in that pic ?
Namworld: I'm not even on minimum salary and could live 2x on it.
asciilifeform: Namworld: how much did your electron microscope cost ?
Namworld: This document from 2012 seems to say a carton of 200 smokes were ~$77
Namworld: So about $10 per pack, yeah
Namworld: electron microscope?
asciilifeform: let's rephrase
asciilifeform: there is 'live' and there is 'exist'
asciilifeform: so far, what has been described is 'exist'
asciilifeform: as one does in jail.
mircea_popescu: check it out! asciilifeform DOES get my original point!
mircea_popescu: Namworld, copy this man.
asciilifeform: which one? that jail is waiting?
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 04:39:14; mircea_popescu: you see what i mean.
Namworld: Oh... but what's the criterion to be considered living vs existing?
mircea_popescu: sometimes i think i'm too terse. then i look at the logs and shudder. what's a gal to do!
mircea_popescu: that's your job Namworld. can't be asking us. (there's even a rule about it!)
asciilifeform: Namworld: ask mirror ?
Namworld: I wouldn't consider myself to be merely existing. But it seems as such for you.
asciilifeform: Namworld: paul erdos, one of the greatest mathematical minds of his century, owned - a suitcase and suit.
asciilifeform: i dare say, he lived.
mircea_popescu: always the same one!
asciilifeform: of course same one
asciilifeform not erdos, but also owns precisely one suit
mircea_popescu is poor, does not even own his own pair of jeans.
Namworld: I feel much better having a small living space and more spare money than I can use than having a big place with only crap to put in it and struggling to afford anything but paying for a large living space.
mircea_popescu: lolz all you wish, but let me tell you something : to anyone i knew in the 80s, "you will never own your own pair of jeans" would have been possibly the worst conceivable curse.
asciilifeform: 'the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread' (TM) (R)
Namworld: You're trapped overpaying for a big space. That's the real prison. Small space, you're basically free to do whatever and have the luxury of free time with less stress.
mircea_popescu: except if the girls start fighting because they're crammed too close together.
asciilifeform: Namworld: where will you put electron microscope in small space?
cazalla: Namworld, even a small space cost you 30 years of your life here
asciilifeform: any idea how much room these need ?
mircea_popescu: i find the symmetry amusing.
asciilifeform: or the 3-phase mains
asciilifeform: you gonna get those in your 1-room flat ?
asciilifeform: can't even plug in a gantry mill
asciilifeform: w/out 3-phase
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a time long ago i had a 3 phase washing machine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l! for elephant ?
mircea_popescu: for 50-75 kgs dry.
cazalla: anyway, i thought all you old school bitcoiners were rich as fuck
asciilifeform: cazalla: who is 'you'
asciilifeform: cazalla: i own - my shirt.
mircea_popescu: anyone older than him :D
cazalla: ha yeah pretty much that ^^^
Namworld: Admittedly, if I wanted to use any of these equipments, I'd just study the field and get the funds and lab assigned to me.
asciilifeform: Namworld: l0l of the century
asciilifeform: what was it herr hitler supposedly said, 'any man who likes to shoot guns ought to join the ss' ?
Namworld: Space is a concern only when you need it. You don't buy a large warehouse building without any plans on how to use it/put it to work.
mircea_popescu: i do, actually.
mircea_popescu: only time i ever bought such a thing was off the auction block. had no use for it, but fuck. dat price.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still have it ?
mircea_popescu: lol, why do you ask ?
mircea_popescu: would have been great for mining, because metal structure, unheated by default.
mircea_popescu: but was sadly many years ago
asciilifeform: great for many things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, pogos should be geographically distributtsexed.
asciilifeform: so for folks who don't read links, u.s. folk were most of the way to fabricating microscale magnetic circuits, when ic was discovered and entire field evaporated
asciilifeform: some work continued for rad-hard/far-space applications, but nothing public came of it
asciilifeform: the only magnetic circuit item that remained in use, for a while, was ferrite ram
asciilifeform: (and, in past few years, a kind of reborn version of it, 'mram')
asciilifeform: but certainly no -logic-.
mircea_popescu: actually afaik the one thing that came out of that field was magnetic bottles, years latr.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 130200 @ 0.00028707 = 37.3765 BTC [+] {2}
asciilifeform: magnetic bottles were iirc saharov's idea
asciilifeform: and long pre-date all of this
Namworld: Haven't been around in a while, but from lurking every now and then, seems it's a bit slow for assets. There's no longer talk about assets/tons of trade tickers.
asciilifeform: Namworld: i broke it
Namworld: Seems most regulars are still there talking at least.
asciilifeform: or wait, where is 'there'
mircea_popescu: how long can it all predate it ? sakharov is contemporary with feynman not with bohr
asciilifeform: pre-dated 'bubble ram' etc.
asciilifeform: but i'm not entirely clear on how 'magnetic bottle' for keeping charged particules penned in, relates to magnetic logic
mircea_popescu: "magnetics"
asciilifeform: then faraday also.
mircea_popescu: it's not really big enough to have subfields yet.
asciilifeform wonders what then -is- big enough
mircea_popescu: feminism > magnetism.
Namworld: Well, this is what living on ~$500 of bills per month looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvW1M9QfDfQ
assbot: Apartment - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1KQfFaC )
hanbot: is Namworld soft-launching a life coaching business?
Namworld: Apparently. Seems by most people's standards, they'd be driven nut by the small space. The space with workdesk/bed/dresser is 5x10 foot
hanbot: all it needs is atomics, could be submarine.
Namworld: I didn't consider such a thing. I guess I'd feel confortable even in a submarine/ship.
cazalla: Namworld, get rid of the cat, savings right there not to mention A+ for no animals living in the house
Namworld: But I like the cat...
cazalla: most of the people in here like cats + smokes
hanbot: confucious sez, cat can save you a meal...
assbot: Cat in the Sleeve Hammock - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1IEqfCM )
Namworld: He's tricked me with his cuteness and affective disorder. He's clingy.
cazalla: meh i hate em, they kill a lot of the natives around here
Namworld: Kill?
Namworld: Natives?
cazalla: local bird life for a start
Namworld: Well people shouldn't let cats out to hunt...
cazalla: plus there is the toxoplasmosis thing
Namworld: No point in having a cat if he's away all day. It's just not doing anything but costing you and being a nuisance to people around.
cazalla: anyway, be a man and get a dog
Namworld: Well my cat can play tag, comes at the door running to greet you and gives his paw. I could probably teach him to fetch.
Namworld: It might be a dog that is disfigured and has bad vocal cords. Might just happen to look like a cat.
Namworld: The convenience of owning a cat and a dog in one, with all the disadvantages and not quite all the benefits.
cazalla: but if you're trying to save money, perhaps just eat the cat and reduce not only the cost of feeding it but save extra on a meal or two for yourself
Namworld: I'm not trying to save money.
cazalla: i'd bet a cat or dog costs about the same to feed a toddler
cazalla: my bad then, i assumed your interest in reducing living expenses was so that you could save a bit extra
Namworld: I'm sure a toddler is more expensive... Cat is like a $20 bag of food for like 2-3 months. And like ~$15 of litter for the same period. So about 10-15 bucks per month.
cazalla: shot myself in the foot with that one.. if i had said baby though, breast milk being somewhat free and all
Namworld: I'm not trying to save, I'm going to be upgrading living expenses by $200 per month and have my own bedroom. In a better location nearer downtown in a bigger and better apartment.
Namworld: It just happened that I ended up with $500 in bills per month, without any effort on my part whatsoever.
Namworld: I'll be living slightly more expensively within 2 months.
Namworld: I was just perplexed by single people with no children struggling with minimum salary, which is ~$1400 after taxes.
cazalla: no doubt they piss a lot of it away but i don't think they are entirely to blame for being on struggle street
Namworld: It's something that's agreed on by many that you can hardly live on minimum salary. It just feels weird to me. By any sort of standards, it seems minimum salary here is luxury compared to almost everything else.
cazalla: we have a high minimum wage here (down under) but people still struggle on account of insane cost of living so can't really blame people for indulging a little, not like it's worth their time to save a deposit for a house anyway
Namworld: Even by US standards. Perhaps not by EU standards.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [04:53] unrelated - anybody read the magnetics links ? << wrapping my head around the microwaves, actually
Namworld: Cost of rent especially, since it tends to be a big part of budget. Wouldn't want to have to pay rent in San Francisco.
Namworld: Some cities are expensive...
Namworld: ok, it's past 2am, I guess I'll log off for now. Getting empty in here. I'm off-topic for the channel too. Shouldn't be rambling late at night. I'll turn senile early.
ben_vulpes: <Namworld> [05:06] I feel much better having a small living space and more << i miss lathes and mills and welders
ben_vulpes: i could buy a mini cnc mill and make custom leather embossing dies
cazalla: i can't articulate it well but i'm sure i've read alf mention it before that it's part of the bezzle.. have you work and paid just enough to cover bills but never enough that you could be free of it within your life time, at least until you're washed up and old
Namworld: Alf?
cazalla: asciilifeform soz
cazalla: plus this idea of down sizing just helps them fit more people in
cazalla: you end up paying more for less
ben_vulpes: that is true enough
punkman: just enough to cover bills < not even that around here
ben_vulpes: the house i grew up in might retail for ~3x what my parents paid for it, and far more than i'll ever sock away in my lifetime
Namworld: I feel if you stop bothering about what people think, fitting social expectations, outperforming your neighbors or any such thing. At least in certain places. I suppose it depends on real estate prices.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, comparable homes in my area are going for 600k, supposedly worth so much more than what my grand parents paid for their massive acre blocks back in the day where they were able to raise lots of kids on one wage yet i'm supposed to believe you're average australian couple who both work and pay for someone else to raise the 1 kid have it better because the total lack of land and bricks is worth $$$
cazalla: your average even
Namworld: The lack of land and bricks is worth a lot of dough. You could be paying a lot of dough at any big corp for fees and terrible services. Inconvenience is costly. What better investment than a overpriced house so you can live inconvenience every day of your life? You save a lot of money that way.
mircea_popescu: right. so if you pick up a girl what do you do, take her to a motel ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, hanbot has a point : join a fishing ship / oil rig / something. they'll pay you 5k a month to live in a 50 sq ft space,
mircea_popescu: instead of youy having to pay 500
Namworld: Well, the living space might not bother me, but the inconvenient is you have to do fishing or oil drilling or so on work.
mircea_popescu: or cook, or w/e.
cazalla: Namworld, he's talking about working for a living, he's talking about sharkin'
Namworld: Well cook might be more in my cords. But doing it all day? Seems a bit mind numbing.
assbot: Bitcoin y el “Estado benefactor” | Litecoin España ... ( http://bit.ly/1JMmrOn )
mircea_popescu: Namworld so do it for six months, take a year or two off.
cazalla: Namworld, shitty job (i did like an unpaid 16 hour shift many years ago)
Namworld: Always an option. Something to try out.
punkman: science boat pays a bit less but still quite well
cazalla: didn't bother coming back for the actual job, working in a kitchen sucks
Namworld: Well I'm off for real this time.
Namworld: Goodbye

mircea_popescu: can prolly have it burned off if you give a shit.
mircea_popescu never got to quite that level of detail specificity.
cazalla: probably has to pluck big ass mole hairs from it too

whaack: So I'm working on building a system where people who I allow can spend BTC on credit. They would have the ability to spend my BTC just for having a good trust rating with me, and the business would be about improving the way I set the trust rating / payment limits etc. so that the fees I take in for the service outweigh the losses I have to eat
whaack: Has anyone tried something similar or know of someone who has?
chetty: people have certainly sold BTC via things like paypal, doesn't seem much different
whaack: I'm not sure how that's similar, in this system we would be blind to any interaction with fiat institutions
joecool: whaack: people have done it in #bitcoin-otc
joecool: but there's a bit of a prevailing 'motto' in the channel now: "loans are a gift"
whaack: Our customers would have a debt to settle in btc, if they can't settle it they get kicked out of the trust network.
whaack: joecool: yeah this system starts with giving the customer a gift, the point is to make sure that the people we give gifts are the kinda people who give gifts back
joecool: whaack: plz see the long list of people who have been kicked out of the "trust network" in -otc

mircea_popescu: it's like the appeal of boxing. either you grew up with it or it's stupid
mircea_popescu: copypaste how does the gpg signature thing werk btw ?
cazalla: what size do the banners need to be
copypaste: 300x100 is the banner size.
copypaste: GPG signatures arne't open to the public yet, just me.
williamdunne: Who is responsible for w.b-a.link?
mircea_popescu: copypaste ah ok. any plans to open them ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla 728x90 for qntra, 300x100 for /btc/
copypaste: Yes, but not immediate plans. When the system is finalized you would be able to upload a key, have it put in the server's keyring, then paste a signed message into the box. You would put the keyID in the email field and it would sign.
copypaste: That's how I sign. I just haven't implemented the "everyone can put a key" thing yet.
mircea_popescu: you can prolly steal the assbot/gribble code, depending what you run
mircea_popescu: iirc gribble runs in python.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall there being anything prewritten for that.
copypaste: The system also would not handle concurrency well, due to the fact that it comes up with the ID by doing ls, then finding the biggest numbered text file in _g and adding one to it.
copypaste: So, those two problems need to be fixed before everyone can sign.
williamdunne: copypaste: I've done the everyone can put a key thing before, I can help you with that if you want..
copypaste: Sure, there's another problem though - we have 3 servers that run PHP, so I need to sync the keyring across them, hehe.
copypaste: I manually entered my pubkey into all three servers, but that's not possible for everyone signing...
copypaste: Yeah, sorry. :(
mircea_popescu: how do you handle your concurrency then ?
williamdunne: The way I handled this was I had a separate server running with the keys
copypaste: Well that only affects singing. Since I'm the only one that can sign
copypaste: It's not a problem.
williamdunne: And then requests were sent between the webservers and that server for things like signing
copypaste: That's a better idea. I was thinking of just doing an NFS share.
copypaste: With the keyring on it.
copypaste: Fixing the archive is more urgent right now since it has a deadline.
copypaste: I'll let you know when keys for everyone are available though :)

trinque: /etc is abominable suck, akin to every shitty scripting language coming up with their unique snowflake of syntax for the same things
trinque: makes it absolutely impossible to interrogate it for 'everything which makes reference to the hostname db.foo.baz'
trinque: when I say everything I mean "what are the services which will care about this change" not "what config files have this string"
trinque: maybe you want to reload those services after changing the db they use
trinque: trivial query over relational data
BingoBoingo: Maybe nothing material unless you are rebuilding the whole machine? DB's are just slaves with more shit in their linen
trinque: they're slaves which are very careful with their tasks, and which save their masters the trouble of repeating trivialities needlessly
trinque: as it stands my email program has to have logic about 'what if I didn't open an e-mail'
trinque: wouldn't it be nice to simply declare the structure of an e-mail, and know that anything acting upon anything which claims to be an e-mail is going to be of a given structure?
trinque: furthermore the separation of the data from any particular program allows many programs to all diddle the same data happily in concert
trinque: seems entirely called-for in systems programming
mod6: ~<+mircea_popescu> mod6 https://8ch.net/btc/index.html << might need a few reloads, but teh republican banners, they're there. << hey thanks! they look great! :]
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 ben_vulpes asciilifeform why don't we throw out the mailing list and move to 8chan? <+asciilifeform> jurov: move to 8chan? << share the lsd ? << as much as the turdolator has been a pain for jurov, I've kinda grown fond of it. however, I'm open to discuss it a bit if we can figure out a scheme inwhich it would work. mainly, ive just never been very into bbs.
mats: today i bought an iphone 5s to hack on
mats: am excite
asciilifeform: i emphatically disagree with anything which allows unsigned crud from unknowns
asciilifeform: for purposes of therealbitcoin
asciilifeform: but i'm not the mod
mod6: yeah, im not sure how we'd block posts from people like we do with mailman
asciilifeform: the l2 thing is the one true filter.
mod6: ^
asciilifeform: it obsoletes all other spam filtration and membership mechanisms
asciilifeform: and i am also not clear on why we would want to move from a box adminned by an l1 man in good standing to some random thing shared with a million bozos
asciilifeform: but again i'm not therealbitcoin. if mod6 and ben_vulpes wish to move to 4chan, 8chan, 4096chan - up to them
asciilifeform: (though i'd really enjoy hearing some rationale as to why they did this)
mats: lol
mod6: haha, agree. and like i said `if we can figure out a scheme inwhich it would work', and that would imply that it would have to somehow work better than what currently ``works''.
mod6: so, basically, no. i'd like to keep our current ramshackle.
asciilifeform gives up the would-have-been-very-spiffy fanless 486 he bought, for dead. no output on any port. damnation.
mod6: you're not just going to re solder all the outputs?
asciilifeform: unless vendor lied, it's likely been cracked (in pcb) in shipping
mod6: ah :/
asciilifeform: woulda been a nifty thing - 12 inch across, square, solid steel case, 1 isa slot, no fans.
asciilifeform: fucking fans. been searching for a fanless 486 for years.
asciilifeform: (properly fanless, incl. power block)
mod6: hmm, i had a PB back in like 94 that was like a P1 -- had heatsink only. might have had a case fan tho.
asciilifeform: most 486 lacked cpu fan
asciilifeform: but had case and ps fans
asciilifeform: (and were quite large physically.)
mod6: back then they built that stuff to last.
asciilifeform: shipping, apparently, kills even it.
mod6: well.. the disks didn't usually fair so well, but. yeah.
asciilifeform: no disk in this one
asciilifeform: solid-state (yes, rare) on mb
asciilifeform: all 4mb of it
mod6: huh. yeah, maybe you got scammed?
asciilifeform: not impossible
asciilifeform: fella has other machines just like it for sale. and takes returns
mod6: ah, yea. send it back, get yourself a working relic.
asciilifeform: fool shipped this 'relic' in a thin cardboard box scarcely larger than machine, via usps.
asciilifeform: hence brick.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> shipping, apparently, kills even it. << As time goes on this issue will continue to become problematic as boards become more brittle
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i was told by dks in no uncertain terms that lisp machine can never be mailed.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> fool shipped this 'relic' in a thin cardboard box scarcely larger than machine, via usps. << What the fuck
mod6: oh no. yeah, it was probably thrown up and down, left and right. gotta have a solid box & styrofoam enclosures.
asciilifeform: (at one point, he was willing to crate'em up for a princely sum, and ship. but after several DOA he quit.)
BingoBoingo: I get the 486 isn't quite a rarity yet, but damn
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: -this one- is a rarity
asciilifeform: fanless and 12x12x2inch.
mod6: asciilifeform is gonna be like the guy in cryptonomicon who has the technology museum
asciilifeform: mod6: i don't collect antiques for the sake of antiques
asciilifeform: what i own - i use (or at least, did once use)
asciilifeform: (the lisp machine, will probably feature in my peine forte et dure)
mod6: just as a pre-lizard-hitler fabrication that still works kinda thing?
asciilifeform: for specific purposes
mod6: cool
asciilifeform: ^ Peine Forte et Dure.
mod6 fires up lynx
mod6: haha, what's on his chest? sushi rolls?
asciilifeform: standard weights, presumably
mod6: ah ha
mod6: ``Strong and Tough Sentence''
asciilifeform: peine forte et dure - was not an execution, as such
mod6: thought it was just like some occult dining ritual
asciilifeform: it was a procedure for folks who refused to plead (submit to the jurisdiction of the court. formerly, english courts could only try folks who 'agreed' to be tried)
mod6: ah
asciilifeform: sometimes, 'agreement' required some... persuasion.
mircea_popescu: no idea how that could un-become being the case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps they ran out of good weights
mod6: thats when they call in the MOAR.jpg cake eating chick to sit on his face.
asciilifeform: lucky if only sit!
asciilifeform: (fans of 'forte et dure' will love neal stephenson's mega-backbreaker-yarn 'baroque cycle', where an entire chapter is devoted to it)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the 486 was, i admit, because i wanted to play a bit of games again.
asciilifeform: after decade+
asciilifeform: (and '3d studio' aha)
mod6: remember kings quest? that was a 486 game iirc
asciilifeform: mod6: i have a mega-warez-set of -all- of sierra works (incl. that series) waiting for the day that never comes.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No shame in that
asciilifeform: (on that day, i have 1) fanless 486 2) with genuine 'sound blaster 64' 3) trinitron 4) free time.)
mod6: asciilifeform: ahh, cool, well, hopefully you'll get to play 'em again
asciilifeform: perhaps after the war.
mod6: there you go
mod6: speaking of which... is nosuchlabs.com down?
asciilifeform: mod6: very much
asciilifeform: mod6: box went awol
asciilifeform: so far no word from boxmeisters.
mod6: ah, ok. thought /maybe/ i saw that in the log.
mod6: was just gonna check on the phuctor stats
mod6: thing was cranking through the keys nicely.
asciilifeform: mod6: what you probably saw was me bitching at mircea_popescu (through whom i have this box)
asciilifeform: and it was actually in snarf-only mode when it fell down
mod6: ah. well it got bored maybe.
mod6: im getting closer to my v0.5.3.1-RELEASE perf full bc sync baseline being finished; currently on block 304969 -- it did oomkill today though, and didn't see it for like 8-9 hours :/
mod6: there will be some flat lines in the charts, but should still be able to get some sort of picture showing us the diff in network traf & other utilization metrics.
mod6: After this one is done, I was going to run a vanilla v0.5.3 to get a baseline from that as well. And I will do that, but did remember that it /does/ at least require the db patch to achieve full sync.
mircea_popescu: i dsunno, tis being looked into
decimation: asciilifeform: I couldn't find any of your fanless thin clients on ebay
decimation: ebay's selection of old electronics seems to thin daily
mod6: Then I can compare and contrast and work with ben on a writeup for qntra

mircea_popescu: "In 2010, Poole was reported to have raised $625,000 to create a new online enterprise, Canvas. The web site opened on January 31, 2011, and features digitally modified images uploaded by users who are required to self-identify using Facebook Connect. In January 2014, Poole announced that Canvas, and its DrawQuest feature, would be going out of business."

Namworld: [20:19] <+mircea_popescu> https://media.8ch.net/btc/src/1431734890584.jpg << is this the Namworld household ?
