trinque: it's meant to be edited, but it really depends on whether you're targeting a USB stick or the hard drive inside

asciilifeform: and therefore i will not be writing it any time soon.

asciilifeform: no reason to clog the exception collector with this crud
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Only 4 in the past 18 hours
BingoBoingo needs to trap one in the wild
BingoBoingo: So moving GeneralLee to port 8333 I've noticed it throws a lot more non-killing errors related to SPV nodes asking it for information with bloom filters, or at least I think that is what the errors are

asciilifeform: 'As each fiber optic company sought a new undersea cable landing license from the FCC they were required by the NSA to enter into a classified contract with the NSA for TWO access point for each undersea cable. The first access point had to be right at the optical multiplexer which duplicated the optical pulse into the undersea cable, and then a second into a fiber optic cable that fed NSA gear. Then, behind the multiplexer an

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unlike http://trilema.com/2012/icbitse-the-bucket-shop/ et al, they didn't have the presence of mind to actually stop new orders.
asciilifeform: rint has one, and so on. The ECI codename for AT&T is "FAIRVIEW" and also US-990, but pay attention to the US-990 SIGAD code and it tends to indicate when a code and alias was initiated. US-990 dates from the day AT&T was broken up. On that date, each of the "baby bells" was given a ECI codename and SIGAD code name in the manner of that of AT&T.'
asciilifeform: 'Due to the ECI relationship, the technicians for AT&T had to possess a Top Secret security clearance to actually just access the fiber, because they might "accidentally" discover the tap, or discover data being diverted out of the fiber optic multiplexers. By the way, "ECI" means that the company is given a code name to conceal their involvement in illegal activities. For example, AT&T has a code name, MCI has a code name, Sp
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I was refering more to the GI wiLCVfkaLx
BingoBoingo: Of course. Satoshi did the same 2009-Spring 2011
asciilifeform: (rather, paying folks to take'em ?)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didja miss the part in the thread where it becomes known that someone let slip a wrong button and gave out $int coins for phree ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I'm feeling this prediction straight from my friends the testicles
asciilifeform: in point of fact i am rather surprised that this is not yet a thing

asciilifeform: is this basically a usg equivalent of letting the screwdriver slip and the plutonium hemispheres fall ?
asciilifeform: anyone connect the hose yet?
mircea_popescu: with the caveat that i run my investigations with people hanging by butcher hooks.
asciilifeform: 10 / 7 is sufficient evidence for this hypothesis? and bitfinex alone originates this gambit ?
mircea_popescu: unless the sec particularly wants me to run an investigation into IT.,
mircea_popescu: so that maybe others panic.
mircea_popescu: so as to get the fraudulent price signal out
mircea_popescu: when the price goes 10 / 7 it is because the people selling the fake btc do no wish to run their meagre offering into the bids of 10
mircea_popescu: normally the price goes 10 / 11
BingoBoingo: Not the first time
asciilifeform would like to know - but does not expect mircea_popescu to say - why mircea_popescu believes the 'cheap' coinz are fictional, rather than panic-sold by the usual folks

mircea_popescu: absent another ww they can sit neutral around, they're so fucked zimbabwe looks promising.
mircea_popescu: the peak of it, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: maybe there. not here.
asciilifeform: but in the entire thing there is, dissolved, the equivalent of maybe 2 or 3 soviet 'postbox' r&d towns
asciilifeform: thing is, this largely describes the u.s.
mircea_popescu: except, of course, for the obvious : TAKE FACEBOOK PICTUREWS NEXT TO IT!
mircea_popescu: i would be much surprised if there's an argentinian who even knows what to do wit hone.
asciilifeform: nor is the firm where i work deluged with argentinian inquiries re: samples of virii
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform often times i look around at this retarded place and i feel i live in the future us.
asciilifeform: Adlai: i already live in the world where designers are (largely) dead and the instruments are getting only more rusted
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with instruments, it is more of 'do you want the crack whore who fucks 10,001 sailors monthly or the standard whore who fucks 101 engineers'
Adlai thinks asciilifeform's attitude is only correct in the pre-scarcity world
mircea_popescu: all the time without exception.
asciilifeform: or, more realistic, when really needs an 'open' instrument, hires away the designer
asciilifeform: on the planet where i live, owners of such items suck usg cock, WITHOUT EXCEPTION
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm kinda curious on what planet it is sop to have the mass spectrometer reversed and enlinuxed. because i'd like to move to that planet. instead of here, where, as of five minutes ago, my mailbox was NOT deluged with offers of vast riches (or even paid rent) for reversing laboratory instruments.
Adlai: all this requires is that a sufficient percentage of the wot settle in harm-reducing jurisdictia
trinque also enjoys the latest deed
trinque: yar, in the subsequent logs there's mention that it needs to be changed to the latest stage3
Adlai: trinque: if "erdos method" means hopped up on speed couchsurfing through the wot, i'd be honored but a little overplaying my character
mircea_popescu: don't quit the dayjob eh.
asciilifeform: trinque: to be fair, i was not there, heard secondhand
Bingo_VACAY: Knocked offline weather
trinque: mircea_popescu: haha that was the one
asciilifeform: trinque: as far as is publicly known, erdos took dextroamphetamine rather than meth
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from 1 to 2 with note: speare shaker
mircea_popescu: "and through reversing, end them ?"
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo if you write a patch for the verson string thing, i'll read it!
asciilifeform: 'die another day' (tm)
asciilifeform: but it ~is~ my problem when the sword is over my personal neck.
mircea_popescu: yes the world should work correctly. but whether it does or does not is not your fucking problem.
mircea_popescu: you don't do the right things TO be paid. you do them BECAUSE they're the right things.
asciilifeform: well yes, this is the pons asinorum of why microshit is even a thing
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can appreciate the part where usg is there to give money to "compensate" the retarded kids that didn't reverse their spectrometer and so ended up with X loss tjhrough any of thbe multiple avenues. and i can appreciate how this makes lazy people manifest thjeir lazy.
mircea_popescu: because that's the criteria nao.
mircea_popescu: i imagine poor alf mother was in it for a 3 week labour
asciilifeform or at least anything involving mass spectrometers, rather than knife sharpeners
asciilifeform is not presently at all convinced that non-africa piece of the planet needs him for anything
mircea_popescu: africa is not something that can be fixed. it's what the word "africa" means.
asciilifeform: because i live there.
mircea_popescu: i do nopt care about the problems of tribes in africa.
mircea_popescu: a "sane-indistinct" computer can be had for the task as defined, out of shelf parts.
mircea_popescu: useful life of the tool is 30 years +, so. you get to "break it in" for a few months first.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: be so kind as to describe what the mass spec user ought to be doing
mircea_popescu: neither.
mircea_popescu: only if the "profession" is saomethiong like "pop star",
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes usg can be rejected just by rejecting it. no, there aren't places where this actually hurts one. yes if one perceives to be hurt it's because one did something stupid in the past he'll have to undo. no this isn't anyone else's problem and no this calls for no sympathy.
trinque: can't speak to that, but the guy got himself booted, through X and a DE, so I can dig that.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> relatedly, I have a 1 for relaxedman when he comes back. I yelled at him to *read* his way through snags with gentoo, and he did! << Promised the same for OpenBSD, but...
mircea_popescu: there isn't a nation called "Programmer".
asciilifeform: was born under conditions that are not available in the 'open source' world.
asciilifeform: related in the sense that it is not 'ethnically open source'
asciilifeform does not use blender with any regularity and cannot comment further
mircea_popescu: the software itself is os, and it does work.
asciilifeform: possibly the greatest antisuccess, from that pov.
mircea_popescu: yeah, you're missing the something where gimp is pretty much the only foss success in the actual marketplace.
trinque: did not bitch "oh but it didn't work out of the box"
mircea_popescu: which is why i said it's the worst example you could have come up with
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it sure does suck. like most of the turdalicious offerings. but it is a mistake to suppose that folks use it on account of not having been woken up to the existing alternative
mircea_popescu: neither jwz nor mass spectrometers nor anything else has any bearing here.
mircea_popescu: claiming otherwise because you got your sexual advances turned down by a mass spectrometer is nuts.
asciilifeform: and yes, they do.
mircea_popescu: period and full fucking stop, there isn't even what to discuss here.
asciilifeform: can find other hardware that is pro sop and not supported by any reasonable open package
trinque: I mean to be fair, what the man's saying is that gimp has a scripting layer
asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts everybody here has applied precisely this formula, and in fact no other is known.
mircea_popescu: get the fuck outta here omfg!
asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit there with it in.'
asciilifeform: i can already picture the conversation:
asciilifeform: and the artsy fella ?
mircea_popescu: the man who can't hires one.
asciilifeform: the man who can program in scheme, can script it.
asciilifeform: it is for the man who doesn't program device drivers.
mircea_popescu: you draw with the fucking pencil.
mircea_popescu: it is roughly the equivalent of a "really professional chess player" who plays chess in the dark and moving the pieces with his asshole.
asciilifeform: it or the 1,001 affine transform items it needs
mircea_popescu: it's current;ly the only practical application i (or ANYONE ELSE, given that eulora challenge) have for lisp
mircea_popescu: that's not the suggestion. what's said is that gimp is like lisp : if what you want to do can't be done in gimp iot's because you're either stupid or stupid.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is actually the best example. of a proggy which naive folks suggest 'will do all the same things'
mircea_popescu: a) dude wtf, gimp is the worst example for this, srsly ; b) your own block dump thing actually works for the purpose you discussed, chillax already ; c) there are all sorts of block explorers, yes. it'd be nice if one day someone makes the blockdump one we discussed but that's about it.
asciilifeform reveals, to no one's great surprise, that he is voicing years of frustration with the entire 'open src' world in this thread, not merely bci-replacements.
Adlai has yet to find an explorer, other than local-node-and-neurons, that provides http://webbtc.com/script/3617d2d6991ee2684eee12fca16fe041cde7eaceab527b855c014dbdae7a7731:0
asciilifeform: and yes, bci is a loathesome usg-operated item, sure.
asciilifeform: it is NOT THE SAME !!1111
asciilifeform: srsly this is ~loathesome~ habit of open source folks, linking to a gimp when i need to take a photoshit
asciilifeform: Adlai: where is the version !!
mircea_popescu: but somehow a buncha derps failed to read the memo re bitfinex.
mircea_popescu: kraken not so much, nobody uses the scammy pos
mircea_popescu: trinque i for one am very curious how bitfinex is going to settle all the buyers.
asciilifeform: (like both of the items you linked)
Adlai: BingoBoingo: false, they run version j-ish
Adlai: asciilifeform: please elaborate on exactly which "graphical viewer thing" bci does that no other explorer does
mircea_popescu: just dumping the block
mircea_popescu: yeah since the tools alf dropped nodes are actually much more usable for ths
Adlai: actually yah, and it'd be the best thing to ever happen to btc
Adlai: mtgox were semifake, you could trade them about
mircea_popescu: all the derps "buying" "cheap" bitcoin on the scams in question (bitfinex, kraken) remember : it's not yours until you send it to your offsite wallet.
mircea_popescu: exactly what that guy told satoshi the plan's gonna be, back on the original list in 2009. "they'll invent fake btc, trade it and it will "go down".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the bitfinex + kraken thing is pretty memorable lol.
Adlai: what horde, i thought they were all lost in a tragic mining accident
BingoBoingo: Adlai: So I could add to the horde
trinque: Adlai: no, I skipped *all* the classes.
mircea_popescu: pity all the gunpowder's wet bois.
Adlai: thus all the classes you skipped don't count and your deadbeat dropout status is revoked
mircea_popescu: so bitfinex finally does the thing it was supposed to to and "cause panic" ?
Adlai: trinque: sure but you probably got paper at the end
gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure (1 more message)
trinque: and I skipped all the classes, so you'll have to try harder than that.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cool. It's one of those little pieces which seems to be holding up things like the getpeerinfo call. One of the things keeping my on my personal 0.7 fork. I find myself adjusting my user agent probably a couple times a week now for the chuckles
asciilifeform: in other nyooz, 72 connections on dulap
mircea_popescu: what the fuck lol
Adlai: mircea_popescu: thank you, i have found this signal but there's so much noise. working my way through it, trolling a little on the side because trinque apparently skipped number theory class
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's in the pipeline
BingoBoingo thinks BIP 14 user agent string when paired with therealbitcoin have serious potential for lulz
Adlai: aha. what does the test test?
Adlai: disclaimer: most of this code was written by some pseudonymous tardstalk mathemagician... https://github.com/adlai/bip0032sbcl
Adlai wrote his own secp256k1 group operations, isn't all the rest supposed to write itself?
thestringpuller: Adlai: interesting...there is no lisp client that I can find.
trinque: (ey satoshi, get in the WoT!)
Adlai: (or do i need to make a third foundation with ben_vulpes and trinque and phf and all the other lispers)
Adlai: congratulations alphabetmike and threeletteragencygavin, you've self-excommunicated me to the second foundation
trinque: it uses genkernel, so it has the livecd's hardware detection
trinque: either way.
trinque: danielpbarron: the script is written to be read and edited to personal fit
trinque: being careful of course that you have the right one...
trinque: there's no "installer" for gentoo that I'm aware of
trinque: or how did you have the filesystem
trinque: relevant logs thereafter
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well you have to make sure it is copying over as the right filesystem then. I forget what it's called that has an actual disk filesystem layered over the CD iso, but probably that is missing
BingoBoingo: Did you install to the drive?
kakobrekla: i have a rather trigger happy ban hammer
shinohai: I saw the Spanish one first BingoBoingo xD
BingoBoingo: shinohai: You should have linked the original English version apparently outsourced to Odesk http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/08/18/negative-publicity-keeps-miners-away-from-bitcoin-xt/
trinque: there is no substitute
jurov: and if there's mental disability in play oughta figure it out first
trinque: danielpbarron: I wouldn't give the guy one-off answers like that
trinque: you would be best served reading, not trying to register for the umpteenth time
Varia_Varietatis: hold on, gotta reread how to do all of that out of the log.
trinque: an error which you will understand if you actually do the work and read logs
kakobrekla: the third of fourth?
trinque: what I'm saying is, nobody in L1 will rate you at the present time such that you can self-voice (or at least, would be wrong to do so) because you made a severe error in maintaining your keys
