BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I had no idea
asciilifeform: why was this discontinued ?!
asciilifeform: i want ten!
decimation: lolz. I assume it's a 'blank spot' for you cd drive maybe?
asciilifeform: but great name!
decimation: asciilifeform: are you gonna sell your smbx stuff for $$$
asciilifeform: but it can't be shipped.
asciilifeform: so can only be sold if somebody wants to come for it.
asciilifeform: (or, with reasonable premium, i would deliver)
asciilifeform: can't even guarantee that it'd survive a car ride
asciilifeform: (i did have to reseat the boards when took it home)
asciilifeform: if shipped, thing would have to be transported like a ming vase
asciilifeform: can't imagine anyone wants to pay for this.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aha, precisely << When /me worked in mall was in Kiosk sitting in firezone
decimation: asciilifeform: maybe sell as a collection of parts

decimation: yeah me too. not gonna do what mall cop wants
mircea_popescu: good for 'em, but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: i remember learning with some amusement about the kindergarten games usians play in airports

asciilifeform: and alligators in florida
asciilifeform: (when they shoot a white fella it's generally 5th-10th page newz, as linked earlier)
mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to come with a regiment.
asciilifeform: now we're talkin'.
asciilifeform: personally i wouldn't waste so much as one private on the place. glass it.
asciilifeform: then glass over the surviving cockroaches.
decimation: I've read some tidbits about what happens when vip crossed boarder on private jet
mircea_popescu: so far ignoring it worked pretty well. us, zimbabwe and other places that exist for illustrative purposes only.
decimation: apparently there are special teams of usg employees for 'processing' such important folks
asciilifeform: decimation: idk, i bought a 100 usd piece of paper and was 'processed' by a vending machine that printed 'get out of customs now' pass.
asciilifeform: no vip jet or anything

decimation: asciilifeform: yeah supposedly the machines are replacing people on us border points
asciilifeform: decimation: only for paying folks
decimation: oh you did the 'global entry' thing?
asciilifeform: preeeeemium no-raep lanez
decimation: heh yeah. I would consider it if I were to travel abroad
asciilifeform: worth every penny
decimation: supposedly it parlays into less tsa harassment on domestic flights too
asciilifeform: even if you go only once

BingoBoingo: Why not just RAEP back?

BingoBoingo: Ah, when I was a puppy I was told that was called "Chicken and Waffles"
BingoBoingo: !up Michail1
decimation: what brings you here?
asciilifeform: 'The Army's countermobility field manual taught soldiers to use ADMs for "stream cratering," in which atomic explosions near small waterways would "form a temporary dam, create a lake, cause overbank flooding, and produce an effective water obstacle" for enemy forces.'
decimation: not a bad idea
BingoBoingo: Michail1: You showed up, know you've been around. Voiced you because bored.
mircea_popescu: sounds retarded really.
Michail1: Think I have been here a long ass time, only for logging though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But who wears the pack?
mircea_popescu: what a fucking nightmare, a "countermobility" unit that drops random nukes
decimation: mircea_popescu: why not? gotta stop the tanks somehow?
mircea_popescu: the only thing that'll do is increase your casualties.
asciilifeform: 'But when Green Light team member Ken Richter began interviewing potential candidates, he said, not everyone was as enthusiastic: "I had a lot of people that I interviewed for our team. Once they found out what the mission was, they said, 'No, thanks. I'd rather go back to Vietnam.' "'
decimation: it's not a particularly large bomb as nukes go
decimation: but it still might trigger the 'ok let's start tossing nukes' scenario
BingoBoingo: decimation: Few nukes are that big
mircea_popescu: decimation that's not the idea. the idea is... so tanks go around, now you're stuck with some units caught between a crater fgulla radioactive water and enemy spear units
mircea_popescu: without food or any possibility of being supported.
asciilifeform: 'In addition, the two-man rule, which to this day dictates that no individual service member have the ability to arm a nuclear weapon, demanded that Green Light teams divide the code that unlocked the cover plate. But that could present a challenge if the wrong man got killed en route to the target. "Here you were with this hunk of sh-- in your bag and no good place to go," Flavin said. "So we said, 'Eh, I don't think we can a
asciilifeform: llow that to happen,'" and his men agreed to share the code in the event of a real mission.' << l0lz
BingoBoingo: Backpack nuke is referred to as Chicken and Waffles because dark meat makes dents in the world
decimation: mircea_popescu: I assume this would all happen well into enemy territory
decimation: by men who have a pretty good hint that they ain't coming home
mircea_popescu: decimation even worse holy shit.
mircea_popescu: imagine if the week after wehrmacht broke its cock in stalingrad
mircea_popescu: someone dropped a bunch of nukes around
asciilifeform: not certain the place would have looked much different..
mircea_popescu: and don't pester me with "surgical precision". the last thing a defeated and runniung away force ca do is make sense.
decimation: sounds like an effective way to cover a retreat
mircea_popescu: if you've never retreated, maybe.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the one thing these are definitely known to have been used for is burial (connected to phone lines, yes!) at useful places in west germany: dams, power stations, factories
decimation: not every army turns into random mob
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the us got beaten to shit about 5000 times since ww2, or roughly speaking "in every engagement to date".
mircea_popescu: this was never deployed
mircea_popescu: i guess they're not all idiots up at staff office.
decimation: because too pussy
asciilifeform: the live chickens (yes) variant, not deployed
asciilifeform: the solid state - deployed
mircea_popescu: demolition ?
asciilifeform: unless rezun lovingly fabricated the very elaborate description of the thing in his autobio
asciilifeform: (described su intel knowing precisely where they were)
asciilifeform: demolition.
mircea_popescu: aha. diff story.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and don't pester me with "surgical precision". the last thing a defeated and runniung away force ca do is make sense. << That sort of precision seems to demand people's backs
asciilifeform: like the bridges, all over europe, with trotyl in the pylons permanently
asciilifeform: to this day.
mircea_popescu: notably, these aren't carried by a grunt.
decimation: no, specially trained volunteers
asciilifeform: the manhole nukes weren't either
asciilifeform: but same part #.
asciilifeform: (quite a few were made)
asciilifeform: having live men carry these things about was a fashion on both sides of the ocean
mircea_popescu: because movies.
asciilifeform: (for all i know, still is)
asciilifeform: 'Probably to make the weapon resistant to electromagnetic pulses from any nearby nuclear explosions, as one might expect at the outset of war with the Soviets, the AEC had fashioned the SADM largely devoid of electronics. Instead, the device relied on two mechanical timers that, unfortunately, became less accurate the longer they were set for, potentially going off as early as eight minutes ahead of schedule or as many as 13 b
asciilifeform: ehind. Army field manuals warned that it was "not possible to state that [the timers] will fire at a specific time," so SADM teams were trained to predict the general window in which the weapon would go off.'
asciilifeform: ^ pure gold
asciilifeform: did americans never invent 'chemical pencil' ??!!!
asciilifeform: sop in all civilized nations in 1930s, i thought
decimation: I thought the british gave that to tom cruise
decimation: asciilifeform: maybe an issue with shelf life of acid?
asciilifeform: what shelf life.
asciilifeform: acid in glass lives forever
decimation: I guess it is in a sealed bottle
asciilifeform: ampoule.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ehind. Army field manuals warned that it was "not possible to state that [the timers] will fire at a specific time," so SADM teams were trained to predict the general window in which the weapon would go off.' << Guess the gold/brass ratio in the spring
asciilifeform: sounds like my washing machine.
asciilifeform: wouldn't be surprised if it is the same part.
BingoBoingo: It prolly is. Laudered from "Boing" by GE
asciilifeform: vice versa
asciilifeform: '"There were real issues with the operational wisdom of the program, and those who were to conduct the mission were sure that whomever thought this up was using bad hemp."'
BingoBoingo: If otherwise Laundered from Boeing by Maytag

decimation: asciilifeform: oh, thinking about the 'mapTransactions' problem, I think the only real solution is a finite buffer with some kind of fifo
decimation: which I think you suggested awhile ago
asciilifeform: decimation: see the thread with mircea_popescu
decimation: I don't think you could fix 'as-is' without heavily fragmenting memory

n6: trinque: thanks I'm going to read this and try again. first one is dead?
BingoBoingo: decimation: "exists"
trinque: n6: link works for me
decimation: BingoBoingo: needs more than miner fee, ideally some kind of 'bolt-on' mechanism for 'paying for a spot in the tx queue'
n6: trinque: thanks let me read this, and try again.
asciilifeform: decimation: mircea_popescu's idea was to have it be precisely by miner fee
BingoBoingo: decimation: Sure "exists"
asciilifeform: and miners pay to access the cream of tx cache
trinque: n6: bon voyage
decimation: asciilifeform: it is now. earlier when I brought this up he (and jurov) said that it should be decided out-of-band with node owners
asciilifeform: well yes, they pay out of band
asciilifeform: ('in-band' doesn't really feature an explicit provision for this kind of dealing)
decimation: yes but I mean the fees would be collected directly by the node-owner, not paid via miner
asciilifeform: miner pays to access the top of the sorted mempool
asciilifeform: (the most lucrative-per-byte tx-en)
asciilifeform: how he pays, was not yet determined afaik
punkman: I don't see many scenarios where miner can't find nice transactions on his own
decimation: well, that was what made sense to me originally too, but then there was http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-07-2015#1206573
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 20:14:16; jurov: it's not hard for every node to advertise addy for caching fees
asciilifeform: i can find 'nice' food on the forest floor.
asciilifeform: or i can go to a store.
decimation: asciilifeform: it does seem the most 'rational' for the miners to pay for access to the best nodes
asciilifeform: then again, it would also be rational for them not to fucktardedly 'spv'
decimation: as opposed to the users to pay the nodes for services of questionable value (if it transmits, why care?)
asciilifeform: yet they do.
asciilifeform: likewise, for 99% of them it would be rational to never mine at all
asciilifeform: never even to consider it
decimation: asciilifeform: well, they might not 'spv' if they had a node network from which they could draw juicy fees
decimation: asciilifeform: maybe they use stolen bunker oil in nigera to power jungle mining farm
asciilifeform: mining as we know it does not exactly select for folks who rationally weigh roi
BingoBoingo: Guzzoline! Witness!!!
decimation: not unless they can also sell mining equipment, not
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 20:13:10; decimation: yes, but you would agree that building such a network with an eye toward minimizingn latency everywhere would be expensive
decimation: it's not gonna be 'free' to build good node caching network, gotta pay $$$ for access to mining 'input hole'
decimation: wherever that might be
asciilifeform: wai wat
decimation: asciilifeform: say you have the 'fee maximizing' software written
decimation: someone else takes it and runs on a network with less latency than yours
decimation: miners don't pay you anymore
asciilifeform: at a certain point, the only real use of mining will be collect tx fees
asciilifeform: decimation: how much would you personally pay to shave a millisecond of latency ?
asciilifeform: diminishing returns
decimation: true, and it has to be balanced against the size of the 'fee haul'
asciilifeform: don't forget the other variable:
asciilifeform: sanity.
decimation: I suppose this aspect of bitcoin too seems to be inevitably centralized/carteled
asciilifeform: as in, 'this pool is a millisecond faster but runs gavinized soup'
decimation: sure.
asciilifeform: 'this one takes ten minutes per but is run by a fella i know alive'

davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225684 <<< iirc trinque mentioned a versioning system that does signed commits properly, where you can extract a set of individually signed patches

pete_dushenski: shinohai and i agree that we should be thankful for this
trinque: davout: it was punkman re darcs I think
shinohai: I do agree. The fact that there are finite boundaries is comforting to an extent
pete_dushenski: but i'm off for a bit. laters !
ascii_field: davout, trinque, et al: i will not be giving any automatic system access to my pgptron.
trinque: I've never used darcs, have no opinion on it
trinque: but I agree with that principle
davout: ascii_field: if you could have a separate pgptron for checking sigs, and the ability to manually insert a signed patch into it?
ascii_field: speaking of signing, rather than checking
ascii_field: checking can be done on a keyless pgp
davout: yeah, that's the point
davout: check fingerprints, trust keys, you can check
davout: with some additional bash script that checks that each key is L1/L2
davout: (for each commit that is)
davout: so basically the toolset reduces to:
davout: 1. versioning system that works sanely (able to extract individually signed commits)
ascii_field: already wrong formulation. why 'extract' when ~they are the canonical representation~
davout: 2. validation script that checks that every single commit is signed by WoT-folks
davout: 3. tiny script that spits out a properly formatted signed commit for inclusion in versioning tool
davout: ascii_field: extract them all if you really insist on having a canonical representation you can frame and hang on your wall i guess
ascii_field: davout: do you understand what 'canonical representation' means ?
davout: the representation you prefer but is semantically equivalent to another representation ?
ascii_field: it means that i will not look at nor will ask anyone else to look at any other representation
ascii_field: can take mine, convert to yours, sure

kakobrekla: if the gpg falls back
kakobrekla: to his non expiring kex
kakobrekla: or add another working subkey ?
kakobrekla: with even longer expiration date
punkman: for folks that might still be baffled: gpg creates a master sign-only key that is used to sign sub keys. when you encrypt something for the main fingerprint, gpg chooses an encryption subkey.
punkman: (and yes RSA keys can do both, it's just a flag gpg sets on the keys)

BingoBoingo: <n6> Don't I need to learn basics before letting freak flag fly? << Hard to get more basic than Morpheus linux
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu btw that second footnote... is yours.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: actually ~working with~ a linux without any package system whatsoever, is not entirely honestly describable as 'basic'
pete_dushenski: first is mine.
mircea_popescu: how you mean ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: because if not for this, 'buildroot' is your linux.

trinque: looks so
trinque: how's that thing?
BingoBoingo: I'm not sure rc is jsut the plan9 shell. On Openbsd I see those two letter attached to all kinds of scripts and Openrc is apparently best Gentoo init.

asciilifeform: trinque: and grub you also reconfigure each time you change the kernel

trinque: asciilifeform: nah symlink for current kernel
trinque: doesn't lilo need to eat the kernel each time?
asciilifeform: trinque swaps kernels daily ?
trinque: yet fuck having to get a boot disk
asciilifeform: what boot disk
asciilifeform: run from live machine
trinque: the fail mode of lilo is worse than the fail mode of grub
asciilifeform: why should it fail
asciilifeform: grub2 is an atrocity
asciilifeform: what, 5x the size of therealbitcoin ?
trinque: what's wrong with grub 0.9.whatever

BingoBoingo: Now I might be drunk, but it seems like the "news" business wants a Carly v. Trump GOP primary
BingoBoingo pretty sure on the off chance he got the nomination Graham would come out of the closet to steal Clitler votes

Sometimes my nonegenarian Grandpa wants the yard cut short Friday so it looks good over the weekend.
