asciilifeform: they could make almost anything and folks will buy so long as it is vaguely computer-like and doesn't run winblows.
asciilifeform: (they are already shipping this chip in the pocket comps)
asciilifeform: but we presently lack a non-retarded implementation of such a cache
asciilifeform: it was in the interest of (3) that i amputated the 'orphan tx' cache as well.
asciilifeform: but 'bastard' from the perspective of a node is simply any block for which the immediate antecedent is not already on disk
ascii_field: (usg counts as 'employed' anyone of working age who isn't collecting state-funded 'unemployment pension')
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: other than the observation that shorter -> simpler -> everything is slightly less retarded and easier to make sense of
ascii_field: btw any reason not to amputate 'testnet' ?
ascii_field: incidentally, usg - like the regime portrayed by orwell - spends $maxint on attempts to 'read minds'. not always even laughably stupid - the mri 'has seen this object or not before' trick appears to actually work
ascii_field: it is important that nothing can be determined by looking at user!
asciilifeform tries to find example of similar hanging in the literature, but can only recall the 1890s electromechanical contraption built in new york prison by one fella, for his own (official!) hanging
asciilifeform wonders how mircea_popescubitcoind compares with therealbitcoin_asciilifeform
asciilifeform: mod6: thus far i'm stumped. will probably have to replicate your entire setup to get to the bottom of this (assuming you haven't yet)
asciilifeform: mod6: post the build log from 'doesn't compile' ?
asciilifeform: and it's uclibc that has to be recompiled with that flag
asciilifeform: didja try the 'recompile with -fPIC' thing ?
asciilifeform: but, for example, bernard von nothaus.
ascii_field: trinque: then it isn't a computer
ascii_field keeps coming back to the thought that if 'adult' computer were to exist, folks would snap it up even if it were something close to, e.g., pdp-11 in horsepower
ascii_field: also didn't i give example arguments in ml ?
asciilifeform: '(EXPERIMENTAL) Full IRC Demolition; Manual External IP Setting; Version Bump.'
asciilifeform still in the process of sawing out the irc sync mechanism. after this, will have to see whether the deterministic-build thing actually works (my last attempt using therealbitcoin's 'official' script died in agony on account of gcc strange)
ascii_field: but it is not a complete story
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: competing with 16yos is how you end up fucking 16yos << hence why i said 'home turf'
ascii_field: but, as i surmise, on account of 'rather die than compete with 16 year-olds on their home turf'
ascii_field: will build it there as soon as the last round of amputation, referenced earlier, is complete
ascii_field: (terminated through no fault of their own, simply because wanted to start from scratch when testing patches)
asciilifeform: (saw not a few pretty eligible dumpsters in buenos aires)
asciilifeform: or i'd be in that dumpster even now
asciilifeform: i can already picture mircea_popescu's 'recipe': 'naggum should've moved to argentina' 'me: with what' 'mircea: with shirt on his back' 'me: doing what' 'mircea: sharpening knives while living in dumpster' 'me: betcha he knew this, and didn't care for it'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it appears to be (now) empty.
asciilifeform: the original generation of 'computers are interesting and we know basic maths, etc' grew old, mostly did not die yet except in ben franklin's sense of 'most people die at 25 but buried at 75'
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i still don't feel like i have a grasp of the implications.
asciilifeform: (are we simply mentally tallying unpaid specialist labour?)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: that they were men is no surprise of any kind. but the detail i recall was that they were men who either had no wife, no sister, in the camp (or knew that these were safely dead)
asciilifeform: 'At Treblinka, an underground organization plotted an armed rebellion and mass escape. Learning about the Warsaw ghetto revolt from the last transports of Jews brought to Treblinka from Warsaw, the organizers decided the moment for revolt had arrived. On August 2, 1943, the underground fighters put their plan into action: to steal arms from the warehouse; eliminate the German and Ukrainian guards on duty; set the camp on fire;
asciilifeform: but at no point does it make sense to emplace anything of any value whatsoever in mr. randomschmuck's house.
asciilifeform: but still largely empty, because in bezzleworld 'cheap' is a relative thing.
asciilifeform: places which only even have telephones because usg imposed it
asciilifeform: if the past 40 years of computer retardation hadn't happened, and we used a stack with support for seamless process migration, 'voting circuit' computation, etc. it would be practical to use '1024 chickens' arrays of arbitrarily garbage hardware
asciilifeform: as result, the only folks who bought were 1) chumps 2) people who wanted to make own 'stingray'
asciilifeform: (it is possible to break up cement, but not without anyone noticing. this is the basic principle for the nuke test-ban compliance gadget used on both sides of the ocean)
asciilifeform: you will need to seal to keep out moisture, but if repair is not a concern (machine is disposable, replacement gets new burial plot) this is relatively simple matter
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pre-emplaced in sand pits and fused mains wiring, for the inevitable halt&catchfire ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171397 << mno. if it's in the channel, it is a live pre-gavin node (OR crafted impostor...)
asciilifeform: it may be possible to amputate it with linker shenanigans
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu historical q. has anyone ever publicly attempted an honest implementation of 'provably destroy coin on bitcoin blockchain, re-materialize on $altcoin chain' mechanism? or was all known work on the subject perpetrated by idiot sc4mz0rz ?
asciilifeform: all else - small change, in comparison.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: compilator is ~the~ dependency
asciilifeform: mod6: i am trying to set a kind of example for how one ought to do the patches
asciilifeform: right now it is simply a very convenient spot to find pre-gavinization nodes
asciilifeform: (1st 3 are rather simple)
asciilifeform: not simply 'does it fetch blocks' (it does)
asciilifeform: phun phakt: when i worked in u.s. army, a guard on the campus did just that
asciilifeform: thing about mr mold is that the impotent thrashing is very much that of the prisoner 'turning inward', as pictured in 'chess novella'
asciilifeform: i for one, when first encountered mircea_popescu's articles, scarfed'em up on account of a feeling of 'like mr mold but without the latter's impotent thrashing and cultural illiteracy'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: next you'll complain of melted brain on account of ancient chinese having had, almost word for word, euclid's gcd algo
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might say that it is because mr mold has no balls. i would say that i cannot comment on whether he has balls, but will point out that having a brain is a handicap if contemplating active resistance to usg, without support of foreign army, from inside its walls
asciilifeform: decimation: i was arguing even beyond 'unable to comprehend the parts about how this kind of action is hopeless' to 'clinically retarded'
asciilifeform: so it is not the best example of 'plainly impossible to any thinking person'
asciilifeform: (and the impression i got was that the dunbaricity was the ~only~ thing that made the mechanics halfway plausible..?)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also the implication in the story was that the 'gands' lived in dunbar-number villages
asciilifeform: to rephrase, elephant can be killed by hunter - with bullet, or spear even. but there are not enough chimps in all of africa to kill it by throwing own shit at it, even were all of the chimps to agree to this plan.
asciilifeform: english empire survives!
asciilifeform: at the very least, enemy cannot simply shrug and ignore burned train
asciilifeform: (why did he wait for the usg snakepit to empty?)
asciilifeform: 'killdozer' fella was better example, imho
asciilifeform: say he had beaten his brains out against the glass, while attempting escape. while in a sense this is 'honour', what has mouse accomplished ?
asciilifeform: perhaps best comparison is to the mouse in the jar
asciilifeform: 'the scum must die' is an example of an actionable doctrine
asciilifeform: they have concrete aims, however simplistic
asciilifeform: i'm balking at the idea that the 'how' is this mystical thing that one cannot even attempt to apprehend
asciilifeform: job of partizan, however, is not simply to 'die with honour', but take some of the scum with him to hell
asciilifeform: phun phakt: 'scheme' programming language has its 'call-with-current-continuation', perhaps the oddest and 'most generic' control structure known, which takes the current place in execution and turns it into an assignable (yes) closure (i.e. callable function!) -- typically it is implemented using setjmp().
asciilifeform: (for this, you need setjmp()...)
asciilifeform: compiler won't let you cross stack frames, though
asciilifeform: (it rubs the reader's face in the fact that all c control structures translate into jumps, which are quite the same as the much-maligned 'goto')
asciilifeform: ^ the basic story of the whole 'camel hump' thing, long before pc
asciilifeform: sorta like the machine doesn't care if such-and-such is getting jumped to because a d00d munged the return address through buffer overflow, etc
asciilifeform: of course, folks who regularly deal with the output of c compiler cannot be surprised by duff's device
asciilifeform: the ultimate stage of this development is to realize that the tramp was already dead, cut up by a long series of maniacs previously, and one's job is to in fact stitch its parts together into a frankensteinian creature of one's own conception
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many n00bs begin with 'wtf how does this even compile'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-06-2015#1169198 << umpteenth 'usg vs. clinically retarded schmuck' match. wake me up when the 'usg vs. smart folks' match is being played.
ascii_field: as in, literally no place to emplace it
ascii_field: most 'old computer' catagory is worthless.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc the author of 'camels' did investigate what the 'shooters in dark' had in common - and in all cases, it was an inability to comprehend that the machine is entirely blind to human intent, and to build meaningful mental models of purely mechanistic systems as a class
ascii_field: 'When JTRS started, software-defined radio (SDR) was still in its infancy. The project's SCA architecture allowed software to manipulate field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the radio hardware to reconfigure how its electronics functioned, exposing those FPGAs as CORBA objects. But when development began, hardware implementations of CORBA for FPGAs didn’t really exist in any standard form.' << giga-l0l!
ascii_field: hazirafel_: this is related to a very old article, entitled 'the camel has two humps'
ascii_field: !s camel has two humps
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-06-2015#1168695 << why not understand something simple first? like 'pkzip'
ascii_field: also how the fuck did anyone use bitcoin for serious battlefield operation prior to dump-/importprivkey ?
ascii_field tried last night to backport 'dumpprivkey' and 'importprivkey' from phoundation-0.7 and found that relevant data structures are entirely different
ascii_field: originally sold (by sandoz) in, iirc, ampules.
ascii_field: nubbins`: lsd is unstable in solution. and so it would stand to reason that it is parceled out to the 'stamps' where produced.
ascii_field: not simply 'this is a postage stamp with some amount of lsd'
ascii_field: and no invitations from chinese emperor
ascii_field: trinque: there is apparently ample record of folks using very small (a few microgram) doses precisely this way
asciilifeform: my next experiment re: 0.5.3 is to be a complete amputation of dns (the sequence of 'amputator' patches starting with 'dns seeds' and continuing with yesterday's two is in place for this)
asciilifeform: mod6 has the resource consumption data on the apparatus in question (assuming mod6 and ben_vulpes decide to ratify the requisite patches which added up to that sample)
asciilifeform: a) isn't quite a complete description. in the folks having the particular immune quirk which lets the thing blow up into red skin etc., exposure can plant it down in new places (thing lives in nearest nerve)
asciilifeform: (re: the latter: once dns is out, and import/export-privkey are in, i will be moving my personal nodes to therealbitcoin...)
asciilifeform: probably don't even want to contemplate what 'online food' gets you here.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-06-2015#1167211 << not so simple. gotta get fingerprinted, filed in triplicate, and letter of permission from local sheriff (automatic in some states, a definite 'never' in others) plus subject to random inspections.
asciilifeform: can you simply whack the pin by hand ?
ascii_field: and all sorta of unsavory actors relish a mandated compile into a poorly-understood, sloppily-implemented instruction set for which there are no quality reversing tools
ascii_field: thing should come with a suggested config, yes. and it is the responsibility of the installer (gentoo 'emerge' or whatever) to emplace it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: at present time the irc routine is, notice, still in. complete with idiot hardcoded hostname
ascii_field: 'Following a drawn-out and contentious bidding war, Colt lost its contract to provide the Pentagon with M4 rifles in 2013. The $77 million contract went instead to a Belgian company, F.N. Herstal.'
ascii_field: (assuming ~empty~ roads)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: know that 'uber' etc. is an attempt to 'proletarianize' cabs. as they normally are so costly here that they are beyond the regular use of all but the richest
ascii_field: it was the diffusion pump (esp. langmuir's improved one) which allowed the whole vacuum tube thing to happen in the first place.
ascii_field: speaking of vacuum 'diffusion pumps' - apparently there are firms selling them, from old uni chem kits, as 'bongs' to smoke weed from
ascii_field: important not only for residual gas in the tube after pumping, but also because the electrodes sputter
ascii_field: and did i just land in my grandfather's office in 1985 , fell through time warp? how did we come to wonder about authenticity of fucking soviet rubber stamps ?!
ascii_field: even a schmuck like me has a fat manila full of these stamps.
ascii_field: those are customs-inspector stamps
ascii_field: import stamps!
ascii_field: aha, drown like gentleman ! (Tm) (R) (brit empire)
ascii_field: ever contemplate what you'll do 1km below the sea?
ascii_field: because not idempotent
ascii_field: we ~all~ 'suck' compared to him ?
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166431 << ftr the 'dollar a day' thing is nonsense if you compute even the most conservative monetary estimate for the 'systematic' things the beggar was born with.
ascii_field: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-magical-content-tree.html << where herr orlov contemplates cribbing mircea_popescu's 'pay per article' thing
ascii_field: “When is OPM going to apologize to federal employees?”" << 'when the crayfish whistles on the mountain, and the fish in the sea begin to sing' (tm) (r) (ru)
ascii_field: considering that to me, the ~whole fucking point~ of fpga is to get a computer which ~i and only i~ define
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166286 << Aaaalso - you don't need to distinguish features to prove homogeneous circuit. can use... optical comparator (ask a machinist. 1910s tech.)
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166285 << it most assuredly is not. and on top of it, as soon as you're anywhere near done, they make a new and entirely incompatible one.
ascii_field: i will remind readers that reversing fpga is not impossible, and has been done. but takes ~20 years and chip is usually unobtainable after 5-10 (sooner if vendor learns that you're doing this)
asciilifeform: i distinctly recall when mircea_popescu wrote this important truth
asciilifeform: she does get to not be fed into a woodchipper feet first, for example
asciilifeform: cartoon example, ferphuxxsake
asciilifeform: the given example was anything but random.
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: while you're at it, compute the cost of a 10km^2 opaque bubble for me to live in there.
asciilifeform: this was on a u.s. university campus
asciilifeform: i suspect that the iPnohe only checks that a chump has been 'picked up', but not delivered
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: checked my mailbox this morning. no telegram from chinese emperor asking for it.
asciilifeform: how about the vacuum pump from earlier thread ?
asciilifeform: it's that simple.
asciilifeform: if 'don need no fucking employment' can live in antarctica. on atomic dirigible.
asciilifeform: how about employment that doesn't make one want to blow brains out?
asciilifeform: mats: at least they have public executions. i, for instance, am living in a tyrannical empire that doesn't even have fucking public executions to watch. picture that.
asciilifeform: (also three light-years ahead of, e.g., my own position in chinese employment market. so don't laugh)
asciilifeform: i, for one, only have a mechanical vacuum pump. it clatters, spits oil. would have looked at home in edison's house. i know that i will not be making so much as a triode valve with this pump.
asciilifeform: many ways to pump a vacuum.
asciilifeform: (i am assuming that you know what kind of pump - multiple pumps, in practice - is involved)
asciilifeform: midnightmagic: would be neat. where do i go to get a 10^-4-torr vacuum pump for less than the cost of new car ?
asciilifeform: i would like, for example, to fabricate simple circuits in copper (a la pcb) with electron beam
asciilifeform: how long it took, per mm of metal deposited ? what kind of vacuum, and with what did you pump it?
asciilifeform: midnightmagic: go and pump a high vacuum from a vessel you sintered on a 'metal printer'
asciilifeform: this is an important distinction.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's point about the 'excluded middle' ( http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=13-06-2015#1163457 << thread ) is valid, but it simply means that we are falling from skyscraper and trying to invent parachute on our way down.
asciilifeform: it gives the impression that you can actually turn any valid logical circuit into an imitation of something like slow 1980s silicon
asciilifeform: 'Libgcrypt now accepts contributions after having received a simple mail (right, e-mail, no transatlantic snail mail) with a Developer’s Certificate of Origin as known from other projects. Voilà, patches with new features and performance improvements started to come in.'
asciilifeform: there was no shortage of these when su was imploding
ascii_field: and the agent of a particular compromise is the sysadmin who installed winblows, and only distantly and secondarily anybody else.
ascii_field: in as far as i can tell, all of the 'compromises' of the past decade are cultivated reichstag fires, arranged to fatten the kompyooter insekoority 'industry'
ascii_field: so where the hell is the public dump.
ascii_field: beard can wait for the camps
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-06-2015#1164922 << by this token, it doesn't even matter if mr chump signs or not. they will 'sign' for him, if needed.
asciilifeform: (e.g., old residences, employers, blood relatives, marriages, etc)
asciilifeform: trinque: 'can in aggregate' like the chinese can jump and create earthquake, yes
asciilifeform: trinque: this particular virus only works on those who are immunocompromised to begin with
asciilifeform: from the pov of the chumps, the more sinister aspect, as always, is the non-cryptographic concept of identity used in nato reich, where folks can actually impersonate you if they know a handful of basic biographical facts
asciilifeform: and without own computer or just about anything but clothes on back
asciilifeform: 'Shortly thereafter, officers who had been working undercover to catch citizens attempting to self-serve, swarmed in to arrest the mostly nude man – but not before Mapes took down 3 of the 6 officers by himself.'
asciilifeform: machine will index for usg db, not for implantation, lol
asciilifeform: one day some schmuck will build (for usg bid) a coke machine which dispenses the goop in exchange for a photo and dna sample
asciilifeform: i wondered, often, if most 'coke' drinkers simply amortized the lost coins, mentally
asciilifeform: must be so impeccable that it does not visibly diminish from a single dissatisfied dragon - any more than planet earth visibly loses gravitational pull from a rocket launched to outer space
asciilifeform: on account of the impeccable reputation of the wizard who built it ?
asciilifeform: the question of 'how do i know this candy dispenser contains candy and won't simply eat my key' is to be resolved using popescutronium (substance which powers atomic dirigible)
asciilifeform: empirically
asciilifeform: whereas u.s. corporate monkeys ~will~ sell their login for a chocolate bar (empirically proven)
asciilifeform: not proposing anything complex, really. something on the order of a bear trap
asciilifeform: arguable that they didn't buy it, but only magic-amplifier
asciilifeform: it is trickier than first appears, because 'i want the s00p3r-s33kr1t floor plan for $fpga' is turing-complete (that is, whether the trade was an honest one is not resolvable by machine)
asciilifeform: to be clear, this was not going in my proper computer
asciilifeform: better example of 'middle'. my local uni has a 1980s-style ic fab. just sitting there.
asciilifeform: hence why i use this item as example
asciilifeform: bad example
asciilifeform: the adult camp, where various (presently, usg-ized to the point of utter inefficacy) folks play with electron microscope, etc
asciilifeform: sorta reminds me of how i, as a boy, saw a brass band, and asked my father why they don't simply connect a compressor to the tuba and avoid the strain. and answered 'from this, just one step to dispensing with the tubist entirely'. and hence just the same here, from this just one small step to asking 'why even do this university thing'
asciilifeform: convo with pet: 'her: why have you not opened mircea_popescu's champagne? me: it is for victory. her: and if you are defeated: me: enemy can drink it then'
asciilifeform: templeos isn't a unix
asciilifeform: but doing just about any of this would blow up the complexity of the thing 50x.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: key pump is back on, using somewhat faster proggy
asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/stats << empty hopper, will refill tomorrow. anyone who wants to get phuctored in short order, plz now.
asciilifeform: what keyboard mircea_popescu has, 'unicomp' ? i know of no other that has springs but can still be described as 'disposable'
asciilifeform: or the hilariously complicated network of shill corps through which ussr purchased dec pdp and vax
asciilifeform: what i also don't get is, didn't any of these folks, in three generations of service to brit and then sov. empire, learn vernam ?
ascii_field: ('corebios' aka linuxbios ships with a simple dos-compat. layer that will boot winblows if you must)
ascii_field: (most frustrating thing is that the amd chip on this board ~has vga~ built in. but no amp on the pcb and no connector.)
ascii_field: (i tried the mpcie slots with various vga cards. no go.)
ascii_field: buildroot works great when everyone has physically same computer.
ascii_field: mod6: the whole 'pc compatible platform' thing kinda fell apart
ascii_field: and compensated
ascii_field: what this means, in practice, is that a reasonable ( i won't say 'sane' because these do not exist presently ) computer system is not a machine, but a ~place~ - like a church organ
ascii_field: most likely don't even own a thesaurus, but simply read neal stephenson's novel 'diamond age.'
ascii_field: it was from a lack of precisely this simple tool.
ascii_field: motherfuckers i just want a piece of silicon that samples 16 lines at 1G/s and clocks out the bits to pci-e lanes.
ascii_field: may as well be a winblows item like the 1,001 it competes with
ascii_field: why the fuck would i pay for a machine with a 128kB buffer and 1G/s sample rate ?
ascii_field: also in 1990s gigantic microcontrollers did not exist, and the complexity (db of possible chips, etc) had to live in software
ascii_field: but the butane example pertains to hypothetical boy with access only to 'typical u.s. household' garbage
ascii_field: jurov: photo doesn't even include the water pumps and chiller
ascii_field: jurov: sorta like the famous gedankenexperiment where chinese radio orders all citizens to get on stools and jump at the same time
ascii_field listened, out of entomological interest, to a recording of interview with hearn. yes, him. among the expected idiocies, hearn confessed to an interest in 'remote attestation' and 'trusted computing' as 'promising' alternatives to normally functioning bitcoin...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've no idea why they did it beyond the obvious fact that the type of public employed there traditionally dresses in rags
asciilifeform gotta do something about schmucks hitting 'retest key' and 'unphuctoring' (temporarily)
asciilifeform: 'don't buy a car which costs less than your computer' (tm)
ascii_field: i fail to see any reason why it isn't instead a series of registers clocked asynchronously by the inputs, causing a single time-stamp reg to be shifted out the arse end upon any transition
ascii_field: i.e. sampling at fixed frequency
ascii_field pronounces curse on the lying pieces of shit who built the chinese instrument he is presently attempting to use
asciilifeform: (component values help the folks doing the assembly, and has logo of maker, etc.)
asciilifeform: (these are still shoveling. they just brought out a very ornate lamp, covered in grime)
asciilifeform: as an msdos aficionado myself, i find the comparison to 'adult' os to be a rather odd one
asciilifeform: does uclibs even contain setjmp() routines ?
asciilifeform: not like i didn't post example code here.
asciilifeform: has anyone contemplated collecting the set of sks keys which crash the parser ?
asciilifeform: which means that it is a complete description of bitcoin.
asciilifeform: i'm kinda surprised that gavin and his merry gnomish friends have not attempted to reinstate 'dust'
asciilifeform: not certain if we have a sufficiently large sample of these to make solid empirical conjecture
ascii_field: trinque: see mircea_popescu's example about 'drinking the sea'
ascii_field: if mircea_popescu wanted to, he could vanish from the map and spend the rest of his existence in the company of ice cream, gurlz, and theorems
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: this is compiled into my definition of 'freed'
ascii_field: ^ i find this example utterly opaque
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159523 << being rich, in my cosmography, simply means that your time is your own to do with as you please. everything else (starting wars, producing great inventions, etc.) is a cherry on the cake.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159517 << again it is very easy to simulate the limp if -no one if checking- and it is enough to say 'yeah i limp' see the bureaucracy thread.
ascii_field: i just love the weird twist of the tongue - symptom of some mental fissure, surely
ascii_field: even if kolmogorov complexity of both is equal.
ascii_field: my favourite example is 'digits of pi', which max out (1) while being rock bottom on (2)
ascii_field: my point is that everyone here is either using brainwallet in some form already (backup of your key in a postbox in japan, symmetrically encrypted with pw in your brain, and postbox # also in your brain) OR is one stint in pow camp away from 'civil death' (total loss of key)
ascii_field can even imagine 'disposable' computer for operating brainwallets. thermite brick after each transaction signature.
ascii_field: so, in this example, at least two languages
ascii_field ^ not my key, for what it's worth. but example.
ascii_field: nah just snap example
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: go, take. if you're gainfully employed in usa, you are almost certainly either one of the destroyers or supplying necessities to those who are.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159076 << you know full well what kind of 'foreigners' sweden is importing, and why.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158992 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159018 << mircea_popescu travelled for years through usa but did not, apparently, discover the caste system we have here. said system explains why you will never see an engineer contemplate 'working with a pimp' or considering whether prison may be a good vacation.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159011 << this has to win some sort of prize for 'martial in atomic dirigible.' EVERYBODY i ever met in usa works for salary. i suppose it follows that neither i nor anyone i know in meatspace is 'even half-competent.'
