danielpbarron: To do this, you issue everyone with write access to the database, a GPG Keypair that they use to sign entries and changes. Each signer will have a GPG Keypair, and a separate machine will automatically sign all entries with its own keypair, for time stamping and authenticating entries. << this guy writes like he reads the log but misses the point

assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:04:31; junseth: RE: the discussion about markets, I generally disagree with the notion that markets don't work. I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.
mircea_popescu: yes the market would be a great solution, were it applied. sadly, "the political costs". ie, exactly the same tired old record that drove the soviet union into the wall.
mircea_popescu: people have to accept their feelings don't matter. they always end up doing this, it's just some have to get raped with a spiked club first.

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-04-2015#1087709 << central banking is, contrary to the disinfo floating around, in no way part of the problem. it managed to work as a mostly-solution for a long time, but meanwhile the dung overflew it and it's clogged.
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:21:29; junseth: Haha, well the question is what was the alternative. The alternative before the Fed was not necessarily better. I'm not a fan of central banks. But I think it's disingenuous to say that the central bank hasn't done a decent job of "running" the currency. The solution is to solve the problems caused by central banking. I think that's why we're all Bitcoiners.
mircea_popescu: the problem is "consumers have come to expect" and "representative democracy", not the central bank.

mircea_popescu: but otherwise, most everything in life is unregulated.
mircea_popescu: this may be scary, but it is right and proper.

mircea_popescu: trinque the difference between that and regulation is the statutory nature of the later.

mircea_popescu: trinque comes down exactly to the ancient causes and purposes distinction. if people find a way to fly, nobody "deems gravity broken" or hoilds talks on how to patch it "because this wasn't the intended result"
mircea_popescu: it has no intended result, not being regulation. it simply flows from causes. this is why it's sustainable where the regulatory crud never was.
trinque: right, causes aren't arbitrary
mircea_popescu: well, something like that. moreover, they aren't imaginary. they're actual. purposes are always and necessarily mere delusions.
mircea_popescu: which is why natural laws do not rely on some sort of "intelligence", to be epitethically generous.

nubbins`: re: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1284-the-truth-about-the-bitcoin-foundation/ ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha mis lados.
assbot: The truth about the Bitcoin Foundation - General - Bitcoin Foundation ... ( http://bit.ly/1xN4xtH )
nubbins`: asciilifeform did you get a static build of bitcoind on gentoo yet?
punkman: "Jim Harper and myself immediately put forward a vote to have the board meeting recorded. We followed Robert’s rules of orders, and everyone else basically shut us down and failed to follow procedures."
punkman: "If they would have been transparent then everyone would know there is no money left." well we already knew that
punkman: "A special trust fund is being created and I will donate several 100k to pre-pay Gavin’s, Wladimirs and some other core devs wage for the next year" << who's this Olivier dude that's gonna pay for Gavin out of his pocket
assbot: The truth about the Bitcoin Foundation - General - Bitcoin Foundation ... ( http://bit.ly/1Iy66vZ )
punkman: "I had an idealistic vision of the Foundation being a member-driven organization, but that never happened. Now would be a good time for you, the membership, to make me proud and come together and figure out a vision for the Foundation moving forward."
punkman: http://www.olivierjanssens.com/ hey at least there's gpg right there on the frontpage.
assbot: Olivier Janssens - Home ... ( http://bit.ly/1Iy6lHi )
danielpbarron: height=311556 vs height=220376
nubbins`: asciilifeform fwiw if you apply instructions from my latest ML post, you'll get a 100% static bitcoind
nubbins`: danielpbarron getting closer!
nubbins`: heh i like this jannsens guy's style
punkman: yeah but if you still want to fund gavin, I'm thinking you're a spook
nubbins`: he doesn't know of anyone else to fund!
nubbins`: i just sent him an email
nubbins`: "TIL the Rolex watch company is run by not-for-profit charitable trusts. So after a certain amount of money goes to Rolex employees & the founding Rolex family, what remains is donated to charities. Some of these charities focus on watchmaking & some on HS education. Rolex founder was an orphan."
Chillum: "Rolex, for people with money but have not taken any effort at all to look into luxury watches!"
nubbins`: Rolex is the Bose of watches

nubbins`: i rock a nothing
nubbins`: i hate being encumbered
nubbins` stopped carrying a wallet some years ago
Chillum keeps on rockin in a "free" world
mats: no idea what im looking at
Chillum: I don't get it either
nubbins`: magazine publishes "fashion dos and don'ts"
nubbins`: all the dos are white and all the don'ts are black
nubbins`: this is just a handful
Chillum: "Do be white..." "Don't be black"
nubbins`: pretty much
Chillum: sadly it is good advice
Chillum: depending on where you live
nubbins`: that's not advice
nubbins`: any more than "set the seas aflame" is advice :D
Chillum: both are advice, just not practical advice
Chillum: lots of advice is not actionable
nubbins`: i think it has to at least be /possible/ in order to qualify as advice
nubbins`: just mho
nubbins`: has anyone else attempted to compile 0.5.3.1 with buildroot's cross-toolchain?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i have not tried your patch yet. will get around to it soon.
asciilifeform: <nubbins`> he doesn't know of anyone else to fund! <<< ahahahahahaha l0l no.
asciilifeform: that is not the reason.
nubbins`: tried your ldd trick, it claims "not a dynamic executable"
asciilifeform: nubbins`: on what machine ?
nubbins`: gentoo amd64
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 37800 @ 0.00029022 = 10.9703 BTC [+] {3}
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i was quite unable to use anything but arch-arm's ldd for this.
nubbins`: i'm still having some issues getting a sensible bitcoind built for the pogo w/ the buildroot toolchain
assbot: No Such lAbs (S.NSA), March 2015 Statement on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1EWrVro )
asciilifeform: nubbins`: what kind of issues ?
asciilifeform: (i recall it came up before, but my hands were full)
nubbins`: compiler complains about -m32 flag
nubbins`: now i'd been using the release auto.sh with the cross-compile modifications from your pogotron auto.sh
nubbins`: what i'm gonna try next is your unmodified auto.sh
nubbins`: i'm sure it's just some mishmash of flags, building 32bit on 64
nubbins`: weird little gotcha sort of thing
asciilifeform: unrelated, but yesterday's experiment turns out to be a failure - constants of 25 and 10 both lead to oom somewhere north of 132K blocks
nubbins`: bummer
asciilifeform: beginning to suspect that valgrind isn't seeing the whole picture
asciilifeform: * Vexual is now known as marinateincaeram ... << mega-backchannel-lulz
nubbins`: for reference, there's a handful of buildroot toolchain options i've had to enable to get the bitcoind build past certain points: c++ support, ipv6 support, large file support, possibly also wchar and rpc support
asciilifeform: <PeterL> the mailman, and he is going to stop delivering my mail if I don't meet his demands in the next two weeks << i was once excommunicated from the u.s. post for a few weeks. had tiny mailbox that would fill with spam over mere days when i left town. when full enough, long enough - excommunication
asciilifeform: nubbins`: ipv6 ?!?!?!!
nubbins`: it complained!
asciilifeform: it -does not belong- in bitcoin
asciilifeform: wchar ?!
nubbins`: now in fairness i think specifically boost wanted most of these
asciilifeform: what is this nonsense.
asciilifeform: have you examined its config flags ?
nubbins`: boost is that big thing the weird brain guy from TMNT used to live in
asciilifeform: betcha you can de-wchar it
nubbins`: boost's? nope, it's on the list
nubbins`: i'd like to de-everything it
nubbins`: the squishy pink stuff in the middle is what we're actually using
asciilifeform: nubbins`: unfortunately satoshi's thing happens to be written -in- boost
asciilifeform: (it is arguably more of the language in the turd than cpp per se)
nubbins`: it's a framework beast, in other words
asciilifeform: it isn't removable
asciilifeform: if considering removal, might as well carry on with the ada rewrite.
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: avocado oil is amazing
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & wimc : so rms sez he never heard of libnss before, and can't even recall what it does.
mircea_popescu: foss seriously has a problem by now. and it is of the nature of alf's "fits in head" thing.
asciilifeform: ahahahaha.
mircea_popescu: it's not even fucking funny.
asciilifeform not surprised for a nanosecond.
mircea_popescu: and i don't believe the man is anything but 100% honest.
asciilifeform: i very much believe him.
mircea_popescu: this is why the nsa even exists still.
asciilifeform: honest - yes. but in a kind of self-imposed exile from worldly things.
asciilifeform: he had the option of 'becoming apolitical' (yes, sounds odd to use this phrase to describe rms, but it applies) - and he took it.
mircea_popescu: this is their charter. "our continued existence is a fortunate byproduct of the situation where nobody even knows what's in the boxes."
mircea_popescu: what do you eman by "apolitical" ?
mircea_popescu: am i apolitical ?
mircea_popescu: is linus ?
asciilifeform: rm is apolitical in precisely the sense mircea_popescu is not
asciilifeform: linus is close to getting there
mircea_popescu: is apolitical = "i don't give a shit about whatever your ideology may be" ?
asciilifeform: it means that if a pile of shit stinks too loudly he has the option of turning his nose and pretending it isn't there - and takes it
mircea_popescu: i don't see this actually describes either situation.
asciilifeform: linus either does not notice poettering (unlikely) or (more plausibly) does not give a damn
mircea_popescu: exactly.
mircea_popescu: happens to be the correct stance. why would he give a damn ?
asciilifeform: to smite the vermin ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 26835 @ 0.00029122 = 7.8149 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: this is an aesthetic consideration.
asciilifeform: do we kill mice, roaches, by pretending they aren't there ?
mircea_popescu: it can never be the proper purview of ethics.
mircea_popescu: (ie you can't tell anyone what to do out of their own aesthetic sense)
asciilifeform: well sure. so his aesthetics have a place for mice in his home.
mircea_popescu: in your home.
asciilifeform: aha precisely
asciilifeform: this is the difference.
asciilifeform: these mice tunnel through time and space.
mircea_popescu: the alternative (where he does things to your home) is eerily socialist.
asciilifeform: i see the mice, if we run with them, as inhabiting - his bakery
mircea_popescu: this argument i can see
mircea_popescu: but you must grant it's faint.
asciilifeform: i buy a loaf and therein are turds.
asciilifeform: at any rate rms distanced himself from the userland 'big picture' long ago, when 'hurd' was still a going concern
mircea_popescu: libnss is not userland.
mircea_popescu: it's c "core" in the sense that lo and behold, ruins linkability.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the traditional 'magisteria' are kernel-land and user-land
asciilifeform: not my terminology, but that of ancestors.
mircea_popescu: you can not statically link anything now.
mircea_popescu: this is kernel-land.
asciilifeform: but yes, compiler is infrastructure. and the bridges - are falling, falling down.
asciilifeform: (what would it take to get rms in here so i don't have to play archaeologo-psychiatrist on him ?)
mircea_popescu: im linking him.
chetty: well at least I know now why I have been unable to build a static Eulora
mircea_popescu: you know for how long we had this problem ?
mircea_popescu: it never fucking occurerd to me, or to anyone else.
chetty: since this first day I took on Eulora ----
mircea_popescu: because it's just, for reasons that drive me very angry, something you think about.
asciilifeform: chetty: i will be -very- surprised if a static build of a proggy involving a 3d board is possible on linux or other extant os
asciilifeform: most of them require a gnarly dynamic shim (opengl or otherwise)
mircea_popescu: "hey, if your program uses video, or the internet, you can't make it!"
mircea_popescu: "why tyvm!"
chetty: well it has the gnarly shim of opengl and still wont
mircea_popescu: no but that it can't link statically because it's what it is, like dns.
chetty: well after nextrelease I will go take the crowbar to it again ---
mircea_popescu: first we make the thing gpg.
asciilifeform: chetty: so it was not only opengl that was the barrier to static link ?
asciilifeform: in eulora
chetty: nope there is more, dont know what all, had to step away and work on other parts of it
chetty: I got as far as having it claim it built a static, but then it really wasn't and wouldn't run without the libs
asciilifeform: chetty: precisely where i ended up with 'portatronic bitcoind' - static-but-for-libc
asciilifeform: !s pseudostatic
assbot: 1 results for 'pseudostatic' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=pseudostatic
chetty: well seems I am in good company with this one anyway :)
mircea_popescu: !up whaack
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i cc'd you.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, chetty, et al: in yet another - arguably inverted! - manifestation of The Problem, it appears that valgrind's dynamic substitution for memory allocator -does not cover all of bitcoind!-
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't.
mircea_popescu: so no, you're not the only to have run it in anger.
asciilifeform: i can say with some confidence that there are leaks which -do not pertain to the bastardnodes mechanism- !
mircea_popescu: you're the first to publicly declare this ancient secret.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got the letter, yes.
whaack: ty, I've reached a point in my life where I can't stand working for VC money anymore. But I have an issue where I don't know of a better way to get bitcoins faster than milk a SF dev valley job and buy them with fiat. I've come for guidance on the issue
mircea_popescu: a number of people here are doing the same.
asciilifeform: whaack: let me know if you learn the answer to this one. it eludes me.
mircea_popescu: many people in the history of the world did a job that stank. eventually either the stench kills you or you make enough to no longer need it.
punkman: valgrind's dynamic substitution for memory allocator -does not cover all of bitcoind << I'm guessing it's that custom allocator for some privkey data types
asciilifeform: punkman: not related to the privkey mechanisms (they are not active in my test rig.)
asciilifeform: whaack: at least get out of the deepest circle of hell. nowhere is it written that a programmer must live in sf valley.
mircea_popescu: maybe he likes the heat.
asciilifeform: 'taste the meat but not the heat'
whaack: asciilifeform: I'm actually in NYC, my job is just under the category of a "valley" job
whaack: and I'm actually planning on spending the summer in SF to check it out, I'm still in school taking a year off of MIT
asciilifeform: whaack: nyc is in the broad class of chumpatrons where the workers let virtually their entire post-tax pay go to the real-estate hucksters
punkman: asciilifeform: there's also a SecureString thing in there
mircea_popescu: yeah, the whole thing reeks of ms
asciilifeform: punkman: again in the wallet mechanism only.
asciilifeform: punkman: that code is not executing in my tests.
asciilifeform: punkman: my preliminary experiments point to the db.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14900 @ 0.00028765 = 4.286 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: because, asciilifeform, the unpleasant fact of the matter is, satoshi was one of those.
asciilifeform: one of what ?
asciilifeform: ms victims ?
asciilifeform: indisputably.
mircea_popescu: i cant find the link in recent log
mircea_popescu: oh 1st april
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:27:21; asciilifeform: when you scratch the surface, you always find some imbecile who develops on winblows, and then asks 'whatchalookingat'
asciilifeform: yeah - them.
mircea_popescu: yeah. him.
asciilifeform: i actually knew as much when first learned that bitcoin was heavy on the cppisms.
asciilifeform: folks who grow up outside of the winshitsphere tend to not do that.
asciilifeform: if they use cpp at all, it is as a cautious 'c with classes'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's outrageous, but hey. can you evaluate the time needeed to patch libnss into behaving correctly ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "no dynamic module loading, recompile or get lost" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from my preliminary investigations, was not able to come up with a reasonable picture of what it'd take. similar to my vast underestimation of what it'd take to hammer bitcoind into sanity.
mircea_popescu: myeah. heard it twice this month.
mircea_popescu: buggers.
asciilifeform: the one saving grace is that i'm fairly certain we can shed libnss entirely from this project
asciilifeform: if we nix -all- invocations of dns
mircea_popescu: well for that side. yes.
asciilifeform: for that side.
gabriel_laddel: whaack: there are a few obvious ways to make btc atm

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: i can't speak for the fella, but i suspect that he is looking for a btc substitute for his day job. which is not likely to exist.
mircea_popescu: not in the same terms, at least.
asciilifeform: not in the customary 'keep showing up, you keep eating, hell or high water' terms
gabriel_laddel: Move to argentina, purchase pallets of rice + lots of steak. Code.
whaack: gabriel_laddel: such as?
mircea_popescu: you'd have to be insane to do that. you can buy pre-made "milanesas", cook them yourself, runs you a dollar a day or some shit.
gabriel_laddel: whaack: see the above logs
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: first launch satellite and persuade someone to peer net access to it, for you
mircea_popescu: (milanesa = breaded thin steaks, i dunno what you'd call it, snitzel ?)
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: pardon?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: man does not live by steak alone.
mircea_popescu: schnitzel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you can't find cunt in argentina the problem is deeper than the sea.
asciilifeform: maybe i'm missing something
mircea_popescu: and yes man lives by steak and clams alone.
gabriel_laddel: My point is that food and rent are cheap if you go to the correct place. Also, if you're betting on btc taking over the world, bet on it.
gabriel_laddel: not that one /must/ do this, just an option
mircea_popescu: eh, let the man have his fil of teh us, he's young.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: almost invariably i find that something important is -not- cheap in such places where the food is cheap... but more power to you if you discover exception
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform become a *theoretical* physicist alf. pens & paper are cheap everywhere :D
asciilifeform: (example: what is the cost of inhabiting a free-standing building with mains current, temperature control, and good fiber net? free-standing at least to the extent that you can't hear screaming children, smell neighbours' shit, etc)
mircea_popescu: damned engineers and their insatiable hunger for rube goldberg items
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you're willing to live with a woman, free. you have to find her.
asciilifeform: theoretical still needs to house library.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, about 2-500
asciilifeform: and buy quietspace
asciilifeform: (in that sense i often envy jurov his mechanical ear)
asciilifeform: ^ it comes with 'off' switch
mircea_popescu: i don't think he's too happy with it.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: We're not discussing you though. We're discussing whaack
gabriel_laddel: I understand your needs to some degree.
asciilifeform: must confess, i can't speak for him, yes
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel he's very tender on the topic for some reason.
asciilifeform: 'who will speak of what, but the dog - of fleas', yes
asciilifeform: it is a kinda favourite of mine.
mircea_popescu: it's a slippery slope.
gabriel_laddel: Lol, this has been discussed so much I've actually a list of foods to bribe stas with
mircea_popescu: men not speaking of children has resulted in the current disaster.
gabriel_laddel: soviet cocolate
mircea_popescu: sprats off of smallish natasha tits!
asciilifeform remembers to restock, has lately run short on sprat
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'libnss-pgsql: maintainer address bounces' <<< l0l!!!
mircea_popescu: ru chicks, and especially small ru (ie, ukrainian) chicks grow tall, slender, and with this very specific b cup
mircea_popescu: just as much an ethnotype as the turkic heavy ass set.
mircea_popescu: (thick black hair - think kardashian, a fine specimen)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they managed to create the perfect fucking beast yo. a nsa package that ruins free and open software, nobody knows about and apparently nobody maintains or ever maintained.
mircea_popescu: "just one of those things". like rain, or the usg.
mircea_popescu: "google - is"
mircea_popescu: if there isn't another heartbleed in there, someone's been slacking on their job.
asciilifeform: there's definitely some leakage in there, at the very least
asciilifeform: and is anyone else suffering some indigestion at least from the 12 or so detectable instances of jumps-depending-on-uninitialized-values in -the wallet handling code- ?
asciilifeform: of bitcoind 0.5.3.1
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel anyway, i'll bet you i'll have him publicly recant his soviet chocolate cant. the chocolate here... o mai gawd.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but we're not using the wallet code in 0.5.3
mircea_popescu: as ben_vulpes correctly intuited.
asciilifeform: me - no
asciilifeform is actually ready to believe that chocolate is delicious more or less everywhere outside of the anglo reich
mircea_popescu: this stuff specifically tho. but we see.
mircea_popescu: you recall how conference 2 had local champagne ? this will have local chocolate instead.
gabriel_laddel: $conference
mircea_popescu: im thinking one pound. because you shouldn't be able to put away more than that in a weekend.

asciilifeform: nubbins`: kraft bought it.
nubbins`: could this be the end of Jersey Milk bars?!
nubbins` stocks up on Fruit & Nut
nubbins`: compared to cadbury chocolate, hershey's is like dollar-store easter eggs
asciilifeform: kraft will make short work of cadbury.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 24100 @ 0.00029122 = 7.0184 BTC [+]
nubbins`: ah both
ben_vulpes: 3.5 apiece or summed?
nubbins`: summed
ben_vulpes: i see
nubbins`: that's to compile a cross-toolchain, and a kernel with rootfs
ben_vulpes: what are you using for virtualization? vagrant/virtualbox?
nubbins`: virtualbox
nubbins`: and various other things like uboot, w/e
nubbins`: anyway, this is all on a 7yo laptop
ben_vulpes: !s gentoo systemd
assbot: 19 results for 'gentoo systemd' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=gentoo+systemd

trinque: you get openrc by default
assbot: Handbook:Main Page - Gentoo Wiki ... ( http://bit.ly/1GUpmW1 )
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: pick your arch at the top and go ahead
nubbins`: like trinque says, you have to explicitly choose systemd
assbot: Installing the Gentoo base system - Gentoo Wiki ... ( http://bit.ly/1GUptRm )
nubbins`: "The remainder of the Gentoo Handbook focuses on OpenRC as the default init support system. If systemd is wanted instead, or are planning to use Gnome 3.8 and later (which requires systemd), please consult the systemd page as it elaborates on the different configuration settings and methods."
trinque: gentoo has a concept of "profile" which sets a bunch of defaults in use flags, masks, etc
trinque: you'd have to choose a systemd profile which is not the default
trinque: you will in the default profile end up with systemd's udev though
trinque: lemme see what I did about that per asciilifeform's suggestion
trinque: sys-fs/udev in /etc/portage/package.mask
nubbins`: $ ls /etc/portage/package.mask/

trinque: nubbins`: what are you masking related to openrc?
nubbins`: <sys-apps/openrc-0.13.0
nubbins`: <sys-process/procps-3.3.9-r2
trinque: you use sysvinit? or is that meant to keep you from getting an old version of openrc?
nubbins`: ah, i just followed the handbook
nubbins`: literally nothing customized
trinque: I haven't been through the handbook in a while
trinque: ben_vulpes: probably best to just do whatever's in that first, then blowtorch crud after you have a working system
ben_vulpes: i guess today is gentoo quest
ben_vulpes sacrifices today on the altar of lizard hitler
nubbins`: have phun
ben_vulpes: nubbins`, trinque: any particular vintage of gentoo recommended?
nubbins`: i'm using latest, shrug

ben_vulpes: so the 'static' build i produced on my deb 6 VM wasn't *truly* static, but claimed to be even though it dynamically linked into libnss on whatever system on which it ran successfully?
ben_vulpes: and the bug discovered in gcc is that it *warns* about this but does not die when run with static compile flags?
mircea_popescu: the bug discovered in gcc is that it allows libnss to even be linked AT ALL.
mircea_popescu: in no way different from pulling in windoze.dll or anything else.
mircea_popescu: then rms has to catch hell about "not supporting lldb". how about you know, taking libnss the fuck out with a hot poker.

ben_vulpes: trinque: how'd you figure that?
trinque: ben_vulpes: he mentions it in another comment
mircea_popescu: trinque he can represent anything he wants lol.
mircea_popescu: this idea that most people "should" get a say in what happens to them... dude, if you do that, the same most people go "hey, i don't want to be bothered reading 548958609 pages of tax code, to then go have a hanging party for the govt that made it".
mircea_popescu: "but we only want a say in the things we want a say in and only for the part we want to say something" "yeah well that's not how this works"
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean, i can't own a pet only for the portion where i wanna play with it, but not for the portion where i have to feed it and clean its cage ??!?!" "exactly"
mircea_popescu: "so you mean to tell me now i don't get a say into how the world works anymore, because back when i got the benefit of the doubt all i could do was being an idiot on reddit ?" "exactly"
trinque: the relevance of the tumbler pic gets clearer and clearer
mircea_popescu: "BUT NOBODY TOLD ME THIS WILL HAPPEN!!!1" "mp did"
mircea_popescu: "i never read it!!11"
mircea_popescu: "so ?" "i never agreed to this!111"
mircea_popescu: "how about you go be a transsexual/gender confused/derpopotamus about Bitcoin TOO, then"

pete_dushenski: guy by the door... doesn't care.
mircea_popescu: trinque essentially what it boils down to is the proposition that the underclass does not agree the elite should have the right to opt out whatever redistribution system they come up with.
mircea_popescu: this is ridiculous on the face, of course, but hey. if they understood things they wouldn't be underclass.

Adlai: well the french revolution did happen... or was it organized by the new elite who got sick of wannabelite underclassmen-in-king's-clothing?
Adlai: in other words: a sufficient number of underclassmen armed with pitchforks (or AK47s) can ruin an upperclassman's day
trinque: mircea_popescu: this brings back to mind what you said last night about making a clear distinction between natural law and the purpose-driven "regulation" of human societies. I'm not in a position to well articulate this, so I'll just barf this: it seems the HN commenter in question is simply not in touch with reality, and there is nothing forcing him to be, neither nature nor someone in charge of
trinque: him.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 31000 @ 0.0002784 = 8.6304 BTC [-] {2}
Adlai: he's in touch with "his reality", by which i mean, the reality of the society in which he operates. that society might be out of touch with realreality, but that doesn't require the inside of the bubble to see what's without.
ben_vulpes: Adlai: french revolution is indeed a good tale of the hidden power structure (french bureaucracy) toppling the figureheads.
ben_vulpes: de toqueville wrote about it at length - 'the old regime and the revolution' was the title of the translation i read
Adlai: the [fake plastic] tree of liberty must be from time to time refreshed with the blood of scapegoats
trinque: going further, it stands to reason that neither most nor many men can produce a model of reality that works, in that it deals with risk well and identifies reward
ben_vulpes: using only a single model is a risky move itself.
Adlai worries less about production than recognition / recollection
trinque: sure, but there's a model which says compare the output of various models
ben_vulpes: "ah ah, mister! you can't get me that easily! it's models all the way out!"
trinque: hahaha
trinque: in the head of a human, it most certainly is
ben_vulpes: models to model other people's models
assbot: There Is Only Awe | Online Only | n+1 ... ( http://bit.ly/1MR4oMP )
nubbins`: so if there's a model that contains models of all the models
nubbins`: and it contains a model of itself
ben_vulpes: maxwell's demon?
ben_vulpes: nevertheless, minor errors in the models will compound.
ben_vulpes: "you can't model the universe with anything short of a universe."
nubbins`: i was going for russell's paradox but zzzz
trinque: nubbins` | so if there's a model that contains models of all the models << nobody's head has a complete model of anything
trinque: so yeah in the abstract infinite regress right?
nubbins`: "complete model" doesn't really make sense
trinque: what's the issue with saying some people have better strategies for interacting with reality than others?
trinque: +nubbins` | "complete model" doesn't really make sense << thought I said that
Adlai: "complete model" = copy of thing that's being modelled, optionally with the ability to diddle, reset, etc
nubbins`: trinque i mean in the general sense :D
nubbins`: where's the thing, uh
nubbins`: pogotron people interested in trimming boost down: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/tools/bcp/doc/html/index.html
assbot: BCP - 1.49.0 ... ( http://bit.ly/1MR5S9K )
trinque: They interact with an internal model of the external world – the realm primus – and interpret this interaction as experience of the “real world”. << yeah, and for some people that realm involves jesus and satan, others republicans and democrats
trinque continues to read
nubbins`: trinque +1
nubbins`: that's the middle chapter
nubbins`: site's worth bookmarking, interesting *cough* model
trinque: haha, yeah looks very interesting; thank you
Adlai is a little suspicious of the presentation screaming "we are crackpots! real scientists hate us!"
nubbins`: was shared here a while back
nubbins`: Adlai +1!
ben_vulpes: don't worry Adlai, nubbins` filters the true crackpots out
trinque: I'm a crackpot so w/e
nubbins`: but everybody who studies the nature of consciousness is a crackpot
nubbins`: whether professionally or on their own time
nubbins`: one-way ticket to the bughouse
Adlai: that site overloads my undesirable crackpot filters with false positives before ocr has even returned a single line
trinque: lol
nubbins`: Adlai what does http://thebitcoin.foundation, http://mpex.co do to your crackpot filters
assbot: BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MR6r3j )
Adlai: all three of those say "geeks signaling non-geeks to stay away", rather than "timecube dissertation"
trinque: I agree thebitcoin.foundation needs more timecube.
Adlai: at the end of the day, nothing that (a little|complete removal of) css can't fix

trinque: so here's another badly formed question; what kind of experience empties the HN poster's mind of its bad model?
trinque: a chi power "fighter" getting beaten to a pulp by an MMA fighter, that sort of situation comes to mind
ben_vulpes: oh man
ben_vulpes goes off to find videos
ben_vulpes: gentoo quest prelude
ben_vulpes: "...ben_vulpes finally kicked off a kernel compile.
ben_vulpes: ~FIN DU PRELUDE~
trinque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd7M4H0b62k << couple pops to the head and the guy's learned something whether he wanted to or not
assbot: Incredible fight between a Kiai master and a MMA fighter - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1MRapsB )
trinque: dunno about "incredible" there
trinque: maybe incredible that he thought his spirit-energy dancing was a thing
trinque: so maybe hierarchial leadership is the most humane arrangement, as well as the most sensible
trinque: someone to bop you on the head that maybe still wants you around, vs letting reality do it, which doesn't care if you survive the lesson
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: from bcp: "--unix-lines \n Make sure that all copied files use Unix style line endings." << hyuu
mats: i just beat Stockfish 6 (chess engine) and im in shock
mircea_popescu: Adlai there's no such thing as "the reality of a society"
BingoBoingo: mats: Well done
mircea_popescu: yes, he's in touch with the *fashions* of his society.
mircea_popescu: this is about as stupid and sterile as it sounds.
BingoBoingo: mats: How much power and time did you allow it?
assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 00:01:14; Adlai: all three of those say "geeks signaling non-geeks to stay away", rather than "timecube dissertation"

assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 00:06:12; trinque: so here's another badly formed question; what kind of experience empties the HN poster's mind of its bad model?
mircea_popescu: if you actually love him you can try slavery, but this works exclusively on the thin set of people who understand deeply they suck
mircea_popescu: which are mostly women anyway.
assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 00:24:06; trinque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd7M4H0b62k << couple pops to the head and the guy's learned something whether he wanted to or not
mircea_popescu: but speaking of this, i recall the lulzfest of the "consensus" in the 50s to 90s about how you know, striking is the way to go.
mircea_popescu: then chokes showed up and for a good decade people were all "no dude, there is a shaolin monk somewhere that can hit your spirit!!11"
trinque: lol
trinque: the best part of that vid is watching the students dance around as if hit
mircea_popescu: practically speaking, vc.
mats: BingoBoingo: ~12000 kn/s, 30s time control
BingoBoingo: mats: cool
mats: pretty sure i had cosmic aid. this is my first win in over a hundred attempts
ben_vulpes: eh, statistics at that number.
BingoBoingo: I'd really like to see stockfish running on its maximally supported hardware
BingoBoingo: 128 cores, 1 TB of ram for the transposition table...
mats: my sibling recommended i seek counseling because of my "obsession with beating chess computers and the end of the world"
decimation: mircea_popescu: re: libnss < I think it has its roots in solaris
decimation: it kinda makes sense in its own retarded way - say you want to use sun's 'nis' rather than dns for name resolution
decimation: or some combination of the above
decimation: but I can try to do some digging
decimation: re: democracy < http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/michael_munger_1.html < Mike Munger has an alternate approach to conclusion that democracy is fucked
assbot: " + soundfiledesc + " ... ( http://bit.ly/1awqu61 )
decimation: "o place is. No place that survives is majoritarian. That's what is striking, is, all countries that survive have what are in effect ways of controlling this problem. And so the insight that comes from this is, you can explain what look like odd institutions because--no one may have understood it. This is a very Hayekian point--no one may have understood that they are getting stability from this. They are getting a determinate choice.
decimation: Now, it may be arbitrary. But they are getting what looks like a determinate choice because the alternative is chaos."
mircea_popescu: decimation so if i want to use nis i compile it.
mircea_popescu: mats seems reasonable.
mircea_popescu: i dunno who sane still plays chess. might as well "play" hanoi towers, it's closer to compulsion than anything.
mats: well. #b-a gets to share credit for the latter.
mats: (the end of the world)
mircea_popescu: world ain't ending tho.
Adlai: iirc it was norvig who called sudoku "a ddos attack on the human intellect", although it may be more like a pack of hyenas preying on the stragglers
Adlai: whereas chess... now that is a ddos attack on all levels of human intellect
mircea_popescu: which one is sudoku ? theone that is taking over the idiots that used to do crossword puzzles ?
Adlai: it's latin squares translated to toki pona

BingoBoingo: Eh, chess is an entertainment like any other now that the machines won
mircea_popescu: well sure.
mircea_popescu: then you don't really care if you win
BingoBoingo: Right.
BingoBoingo: It's freeing. Allows for experimenting with more interesting styles of play.
decimation: it is apparently possible to create a static glibc
decimation: I'm not sure if it completely solves the nss issue though
mircea_popescu: easy enough to try no ? recipe published.
nubbins`: so i used BCP to strip out all of the boost shit that's not needed for bitcoind
nubbins`: this is cross-compiling for pogo
mircea_popescu: seems libcrypto's broken ?
mircea_popescu: do you have libcrypto.so ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 30003 @ 0.00027049 = 8.1155 BTC [-] {2}
nubbins`: .so would be the shared lib, .a is static -- looks like libcrypto.a is complaining
nubbins`: /home/nubs/dev/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/ourlibs/lib/libcrypto.a(dso_dlfcn.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlerror'
nubbins`: anyway this is farther than before. actually cleared out an enormous amount of boost libs
nubbins`: if you get bcp compiled, you can just do the following to spit out a custom subset of boost, tailored for your project:
nubbins`: ./bcp --scan --boost=~/dev/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/boost_1_52_0 ~/dev/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/bitcoin/src/*.cpp ~/dev/myboost/
nubbins`: no sense compiling e.g. a ton of boost python libs
nubbins`: bcp is included in the boost download, cd $BOOST_ROOT; ./bootstrap.sh; ./bjam tools/bcp
nubbins`: executable is in dist/bin
nubbins`: groan/facepalm
nubbins`: undefined reference to symbol 'dlerror' <<< dlerror returns last DYNAMIC LINKING ERROR
BingoBoingo: !up ascii_modem
ascii_modem: anyone read the mem stats?
ascii_modem: surreal moment.
ascii_modem: ben_vulpes: congrats re: gentoo

ascii_modem: be aware that, like the rest of opensourcedom, it is in a fairly advanced state of ... declapse (tm)
ascii_modem: (decay that inevitably leads to collapse)
nubbins`: sounds better than collay
ascii_modem: colline.
nubbins`: incrementally closer to portatronic pogotron. it's now complaining about libcrypto referencing a libdl component
ascii_modem: libdl?!!!!!
nubbins`: yeah.
nubbins`: which leads me to believe the openssl compile might need to be looked at.
ascii_modem: you know what libdl is
nubbins`: yep.
