00:00 decimation apparently the 'new' system is a complete rewrite in ada
00:00 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: neato! ty
00:00 BingoBoingo You are very welcome and thank you.
00:00 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: one left in footnote 2
00:00 asciilifeform other than that, looks perfect
00:01 BingoBoingo fixed
00:01 asciilifeform was a bit of a hurried job on my part, BingoBoingo asked for a likbez, and,
00:01 * asciilifeform knew he would not have time to write later this week
00:01 asciilifeform and hence this.
00:02 asciilifeform decimation: i can't help but wonder if somewhere, in a damp cellar, a kid is studying 'JOVIAL'
00:02 asciilifeform thinking 'now i'll find work'
00:02 decimation well, it would have been a paying gig for 40 years now
00:03 asciilifeform for the 'old boys'
00:03 decimation 'the old boys' are retiring
00:03 asciilifeform so are, one might note, their machines.
00:04 decimation indeed, the problem with the machines isn't that they are broken
00:04 decimation it's that no one knows how they work exactly
00:04 decimation 'no one' in the sense of anyone employed directly be usg

00:11 assbot President Barack Obama Speaks with Kara Swisher (Full Transcript) | Re/code ... ( http://bit.ly/1AQrRWV )
00:12 decimation "Let’s talk about encryption. What’s wrong with what Google and Apple are doing? You have encrypted email — shouldn’t everybody have encrypted email, or have their protections? Everybody should. And I’m a strong believer in strong encryption."
00:14 decimation "I’m as strong as I have been. I think the only concern is our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot. Every attack. Any bomb on a plane. The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that we had a lead and we couldn’t follow up on it, the public’s going to demand answers." < 'leadership' at its finest
00:14 asciilifeform bureaucrats, snore.
00:14 decimation "So there’s no scenario in which we don’t want really strong encryption. The narrow question is going to be if there is a proper request for … this isn’t bulk collection, this isn’t sort of fishing expeditions by government."
00:15 decimation we want strong encryption that can be compromised
00:15 decimation now that's something I can stand for!
00:16 decimation "And you’re still with the BlackBerry, right?
00:16 decimation I use a BlackBerry mainly because I’m so restricted in what I can do that it’s basically just messages, and it’s still easier for me to tap off the [BlackBerry]. But basically most of my non-work-related stuff, I’m working off the iPad."
00:16 decimation What non-work-related stuff does Obama 'do'?
00:17 decimation like, playing angry birds?
00:17 asciilifeform tetris ?
00:17 decimation maybe he plays 'risk' against putin
00:17 decimation "Ukraine is weak!"
00:19 decimation asciilifeform: did you know that the latest C++ standard includes a lame implementation of 'lambda'?
00:19 asciilifeform aha
00:19 decimation I was reading a newer C++ text today and laughed when I saw it

00:26 mod6 it works!
00:26 * mod6 pulls blocks
00:26 mod6 already have 11k and counting
00:26 asciilifeform weight ?
00:26 mod6 22mb
00:26 asciilifeform cpu ?
00:27 asciilifeform and is 22mb the stripped elf ?
00:27 mod6 ah, no that's not stripped.
00:27 asciilifeform strip plz
00:27 asciilifeform i'm assuming x86 ?
00:27 mod6 the last 3 commands of that build script never seem to run for some reason
00:27 mod6 yeah x86_64
00:27 asciilifeform aha
00:29 mod6 lemme stop and strip and re-report, but here: http://dpaste.com/3HEJS6G

00:35 mod6 im already at 100k blocks.
00:36 decimation asciilifeform: I like how the internal schematic is etched on the device
00:37 asciilifeform i find it peculiar that only one such battery appears to have been mounted
00:37 asciilifeform (one might imagine a museum exhibit could have been 'censored' but there is no obvious place in the guidance barrel for a second)
00:38 decimation well, maybe that's why there are two 'squibs' to release the electrolyte?
00:38 asciilifeform sure
00:38 asciilifeform but only one battery
00:38 asciilifeform what if.
00:39 decimation well, there are two in the unit "A" and "B"
00:39 decimation maybe that was considered enough redundancy? who knows.
00:39 asciilifeform my guess is that the rocket itself was viewed as 'redundant'
00:40 asciilifeform what's one less, one more.
00:40 decimation yeah
00:40 decimation I'm surprised they didn't use the heat coming off the nuclear core for some purpose
00:40 asciilifeform that'd be the logical thing.
00:40 asciilifeform not so much of it
00:40 decimation heh yeah probably not for the logic of that day
00:40 asciilifeform about same as a teapot.
00:40 asciilifeform heatwise
00:40 decimation could be enough to run a small modern micro
00:41 asciilifeform if you've a way to reliably chill the cold end of thermocouple - sur
00:41 asciilifeform e
00:41 decimation ah that's a good point
00:41 asciilifeform but these things had mechanical disks (!), ferrite bead memory (2nd ver.), mechanical vanes, etc

00:44 asciilifeform platinum toilet.
00:45 asciilifeform ^ very interesting link, one of the designers spills various technical beans
00:45 asciilifeform with napkin sketches, etc
00:45 asciilifeform either a 'loose lips' or - more likely - ancient disinfo reworked for www
00:46 asciilifeform (an american national sport was, at one time, to 'turn loose' mildly buggy military w4r3z for ru folks to find)
00:46 ben_vulpes <asciilifeform> [] but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities without resort to a $1B factory. << for the record, this is a hobble.
00:46 ben_vulpes customary densities are a product of red queen dynamics.
00:47 asciilifeform customary - at least something like an intel 4004
00:47 asciilifeform not speaking of 'pentium' here!
00:47 ben_vulpes if the goal is "compute by the yard", make more yards, not smaller compute.
00:47 decimation ah "Batteries: There was a battery at the top in the G&C section and also used to power stage III, a battery in the middle stage II and at the bottom for stage I. There was an umbilical cable at top and bottom, from G&C and stage I, to provide silo “battery” power for checkout."
00:48 decimation apparently the gyros operated continuously while in the silo to reduce launch time
00:48 decimation I wonder how often they failed
00:48 asciilifeform decimation: there is a legend about this
00:48 asciilifeform on ru side
00:49 asciilifeform that it was not deemed economical to use jewelled bearing, as americans did, and the oil of a certain inedible bean (forget which) was employed as lubricant
00:50 asciilifeform which mostly worked
00:50 asciilifeform but couldn't spin continuously
00:50 asciilifeform had to spin up 'when politics were hot' or the like.
00:50 decimation heh
00:50 decimation and then replaced after some operating time presumably
00:50 decimation or at least, re-greased
00:53 mod6 wow, this thing is really flying
00:53 mod6 141k
00:54 ben_vulpes mod6: what are you running tonight?
00:55 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: re 4004: i'm imagining devices at least 10x that scale.
00:55 ben_vulpes imagining -> expecting
00:55 asciilifeform 10x or 1/10
00:55 ben_vulpes 10x.
00:55 asciilifeform so glorified ttl ?
00:55 ben_vulpes perhaps of that scale.
00:55 mod6 v0.5.3 base + patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 } + openssl 1.0.1g with a modified portotronic build script - all statically linked libs
00:56 asciilifeform congrats mod6 !
00:56 ben_vulpes whoa, all statically linked?
00:56 ben_vulpes wd
00:56 mod6 ty
00:56 mod6 we'll see if it passes 160001
00:57 decimation asciilifeform: it will be interesting to see how your 'macrofab' order works out
00:58 asciilifeform aha
00:58 asciilifeform will post photos, etc
00:58 decimation did they charge reasonable prices for the non-'house' parts?
00:58 asciilifeform anyone's bet whether they'll ship on schedule, and, if so, exactly -what-
00:58 asciilifeform mostly
00:59 asciilifeform they skin you on pcb
00:59 decimation did you end up using eagle or kicad?
00:59 asciilifeform eagle
00:59 asciilifeform kicad is unusable
00:59 asciilifeform this is an old design
00:59 asciilifeform (>1yr now)
00:59 asciilifeform that i am having them build simply to see what comes of it
00:59 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5412 @ 0.00044852 = 2.4274 BTC [-]
00:59 decimation yeah that will be interesting
01:04 mod6 <+mod6> we'll see if it passes 160001 << derp. 168,001
01:07 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: minuteman << did you ever read into the 'amateur' rocketry group with whom i dorked around for a while in undergrad?
01:08 asciilifeform aha
01:08 * asciilifeform did not have the honour of partaking in any such thing
01:08 ben_vulpes 'twas a fine introduction to what could be done in a garage without the military overhead.
01:08 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: i very much thought of it when i found that link
01:09 asciilifeform think of how it could have went with modern cnc
01:09 ben_vulpes we made our own spinning fin cans at one point! garage bearing races of... 0.2m diameter!
01:09 asciilifeform neato
01:09 ben_vulpes out of hardened steel no less
01:09 ben_vulpes that we hardened ourselves
01:10 asciilifeform i still think it's odd that the americans never really discovered electrolytic milling
01:10 asciilifeform where it doesn't matter one lick whether material is hardened
01:10 ben_vulpes we just cut slowly.
01:10 asciilifeform and expensively
01:10 ben_vulpes meh.
01:10 ben_vulpes 'twasn't *that* expensive.
01:10 asciilifeform good cutters cost a fortune
01:11 asciilifeform even for (what may be) world's smallest lathe
01:11 ben_vulpes there are a few different hardnesses one can achieve.
01:11 ben_vulpes the hack was finding the sweet spot in race/bearing hardnesses.
01:11 asciilifeform so far i've been able to stick to nonferrous.
01:12 ben_vulpes carbides?
01:12 asciilifeform working materials, that is
01:12 ben_vulpes oh.
01:12 asciilifeform lol
01:12 ben_vulpes yes well that does make life easier haw
01:12 ben_vulpes al's fucking butter
01:13 asciilifeform i did learn the hard way what it does to a grinding wheel
01:13 ben_vulpes hahahahahahaha
01:13 ben_vulpes mhm.
01:13 ben_vulpes hey at least you're not trying to cut steel with diamond bits.
01:13 asciilifeform srsly, you go & try apprenticing with no master.
01:13 ben_vulpes *foomp*
01:13 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: i did.
01:13 ben_vulpes for at least a whole year.
01:14 * asciilifeform regards C dissolving in Fe as an elementary fact
01:14 asciilifeform that ought to be obvious to anyone who walks into the workshop
01:14 ben_vulpes someone took pity on me in the warehouse as i worked my way through quarter inch plate with a hand cutter and provided me with an acetylene torch.
01:14 ben_vulpes made the quarter.
01:14 asciilifeform lol
01:14 * ben_vulpes must piss on each and every fence
01:15 ben_vulpes just you know
01:15 ben_vulpes to find the electric ones
01:15 ben_vulpes but hey at least i made my waste oil furnace
01:15 ben_vulpes there was a chinese restaurant up the way that had a drum of cooking oil
01:15 ben_vulpes free heat!
01:16 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: before i fall asleep, i remembered to tell, that there actually were 'integrated circuits' in ussr that were built in the way you suggest
01:16 ben_vulpes i suggested a method?
01:16 asciilifeform out of uncommonly small physically-discrete transistors
01:16 mod6 166k
01:16 ben_vulpes mm ah
01:16 ben_vulpes almost!
01:16 asciilifeform legend also has it that one of the items secretly salvaged by h. hughes's 'glomar explorer' mega-ship was a collection of such circuits
01:17 decimation asciilifeform: were they individually packaged?
01:17 asciilifeform the transistors ?
01:17 asciilifeform i do not presently know.
01:17 asciilifeform but my understanding is that they were placed by hand.
01:18 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: i dreamt once of coercing bugs into placing such devices.
01:19 ben_vulpes i was taking classes in chaos theory, control theory and installing machines for a biologist at the time.
01:20 asciilifeform what kid hasn't considered ants, pheromone trail computer.
01:20 * ben_vulpes looks back at his work history in wonder
01:20 asciilifeform !s ant colony
01:20 assbot 4 results for 'ant colony' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=ant+colony
01:20 ben_vulpes more amoebic placement.

01:23 * asciilifeform thanks mod6 for fixing his catastrophic bug
01:23 * asciilifeform reminds all therealbitcoin folks to 'trust but verify'
01:24 * mod6 thanks asciilifeform for building the portotronic & build script
01:24 asciilifeform (or in the original rhyming proverb, 'доверяй но проверяй')
01:24 mod6 ah! yes.
01:25 mod6 well gentlemen, that's all for me tonight. ima let it run, see how it does overnight. will report more tomorrow.
01:25 asciilifeform good night mod6 & co

09:49 nubbins` Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.
09:49 ben_vulpes dude
09:49 nubbins` funny, i automatically thought that i must have the books of all others.

09:49 nubbins` heh.

10:00 kakobrekla how is 0 different from -
10:00 nubbins` 0 is a value
10:00 kakobrekla yea but in effect
10:00 nubbins` - is the absence thereof
10:00 kakobrekla you need >0
10:00 jurov you want for users with negative rating to show 0?

10:06 asciilifeform i think the purple logo won't boot off an SD << when this is through there will be no need to boot from anything but the internal eeprom
10:07 kakobrekla next version ships with diskram
10:08 danielpbarron well if they aren't reporting a greater version then they might as well not be using it (the version is used to decide with the fork, hard or soft, happens)
10:08 asciilifeform incidentally, the ram penny-pinching ought to be familiar to veterans of the old linksys wrt linux router
10:08 asciilifeform which eventually ended up with 2MB in which no linux of the time would sit down
10:09 asciilifeform pay same, get half, then half again...
10:09 kakobrekla until diskram

10:10 nubbins` that's how they get ya
10:10 nubbins` there was a thread on reddit the other day

10:11 nubbins` i chuckled

10:11 danielpbarron hehe
10:12 nubbins` asciilifeform maybe that's the exuberance
10:12 danielpbarron nubbins`, you set off a mythology about the pogo; some guy on the forum keeps telling everyone about the "ten thousand nodes" that MP is gonna use to stop the fork
10:13 thestringpuller danielpbarron: is link in logs?
10:13 danielpbarron to what? the forum post of that ^ ?
10:13 nubbins` danielpbarron notu badu
10:13 nubbins` how many nodes right now, anyway?
10:13 nubbins` i guess no easy way to count
10:14 thestringpuller danielpbarron: yes
10:14 danielpbarron reminds me of classic chinese in which "ten thousand" was used to mean "infinity"

10:16 danielpbarron according the the forum's wisdom, we should have used a unit that can be upgraded to support 20MB blocks
10:16 nubbins` you should plan for sucking Hitler's knob in the event that the Nazis win WW2.

10:27 nubbins` "The thing is, I don't think there will ever be mass adoption of the system as it exist today. The 'average Joe' will be using some payment processor and not the blockchain directly.

10:42 danielpbarron adding a 'z' to a word doesn't magically transform it into a gender neutral term any more than adding a cape to a retard magically enables him, excuse me, zhim to fly
10:44 PeterL maybe you pick whichever you like better, zhim or zher, and use it for both genders?

10:54 mircea_popescu dogs are it.
10:54 kakobrekla no, the dog gave the treat
10:54 PeterL her can be equivalent to him or his, because English is not a very systematic language
10:54 danielpbarron that's why dog owners always bring plastic baggies; for treat collection

11:20 jurov how long it takes a z80 to make or verify ECDSA signature?

11:34 mircea_popescu the reason z80 era was secure was because governments, generally, COULD NOT be involved

12:20 mircea_popescu btw, i bet you half a dead badger someone ejaculated on vs any trading card mythological beast that this entire z-ification of words is a ploy by some well connected (online) otaku to improve the scrabble board.
12:20 mircea_popescu cause zhe is like all into scrabble and hates the lack of zwords so zhe made zsome.

15:39 PeterL just did a "digital job interview" with BASF, consisted of just recording a video of me answering the typical interview questions.
15:39 PeterL what is the world coming to when you talk to a computer instead of a person when interviewing for a job?
15:40 jurov the computer asked the questions?
15:40 lobbes after one of my last interviews I almost would've preferred that; the dude was so dejected it was depressing
15:40 PeterL yes, well, they were printed on the screen, and I talk into the camera to answer
15:41 PeterL if the guy interviewing you is dejected, doesn't that tell you something about the company?
15:41 danielpbarron job interview should better take place on irc
15:41 lobbes exactly why I didn't take it lol
15:41 lobbes which I guess you can't glean from a computer, so..
15:42 danielpbarron they get to pretent they are important by making you apply with an automation
15:43 PeterL a couple jobs ago, when I interviewed the guy grabbed a random coworker and asked "don't you like working here", they were like "ummmmmmm, sure?" that should have been a sign, but I took job anyway
15:45 PeterL and I hate the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect to get paid"? Are they going to throw out my resume if I say too high a number? Obviously they won't go above the number I say, right?
15:45 PeterL "I made X before, but I expect to be paid 2X (and I would take the job if you offer me 1/2 X)"

15:55 trinque probably disk IO eh?

23:29 mircea_popescu you kidding me, the thing had glass diodes.
23:29 decimation if you allow logic gate ic's you could reduce the transistor count
23:30 asciilifeform mircea_popescu is thinking of soviet-style metal 'tin can' transistor as being used in the pdp, and is correct

23:32 BingoBoingo File this in reasons I did not make a nubrub for my OBSD bitcoin-qt build

23:35 asciilifeform but turns out other folks like to imagine it too
23:36 asciilifeform if using products of existing industry, i'd use something like a 'GAL' (on bare die also)
23:36 asciilifeform rather than naked transistor

23:41 mircea_popescu decimation generally, as opposed to a speciffic one.
23:41 decimation ah I see
23:41 asciilifeform the ancient ru proverb re: 'for every sly arse, there's a threaded cock' is the relevant one
23:41 decimation yes, the problem of 'jamming' arbitrary comms (unknown to the designer) is quite difficult
23:41 asciilifeform the cock thread - has to match
23:41 mircea_popescu and so is the problem of "diddling" in the general case.
23:42 asciilifeform the thread-will-meet-the-arse-correctly-but-without-foreknowledge is called 'intelligence' and folks call any solution that calls for it 'ai-complete'
23:43 asciilifeform which is possibly the only verdict more dire than 'np-complete'
23:44 asciilifeform when you are discussing a particular bullet fired by the enemy, rather than enemy per se, you may safely assume that it is not intelligent, and thus is the cock of particular rather than universal thread.
23:44 asciilifeform that's roughly it.

Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but the rate — 70.6 percent — was far lower. These rates were pretty similar to what was found in the original, U.S.
23:44 mircea_popescu -based study, which found that around 90 percent of women reported that their friendliness had been misperceived at least once in their lifetimes, on average 2.7 times in the last year, with about 70 percent of men reporting having experienced this."
23:44 mircea_popescu overwhelming my foot.
23:44 mircea_popescu a) the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such as, "women are more likely to self-flatter themselves this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
23:45 mircea_popescu how about asking men and women about how many cases they themselves witnessed involving OTHER people ?
23:45 mircea_popescu but no, why make a study that makes sense but doesn't support our chosen policy nonsense.
23:45 decimation that would be hard, and besides men are bad
23:45 mircea_popescu hard my foot, ask the same people a useful question instead of a dumb one.
23:46 mircea_popescu Sofia Lyons / nymag are dumb.
23:46 mircea_popescu Mons Bendixen as well.

23:48 asciilifeform (related how? in context - missing from archive - of that thread, he theorized that the behaviour spoken of therein was due to the 'misinterpreted' thing mentioned here)
23:48 mircea_popescu "When a man sees another man he doesn’t know, there isn’t usually that studied indifference. If you look at the guy, he’ll look at you back, and it’s obvious from his body language that he knows you exist and you could talk to him if you wanted to."
23:48 mircea_popescu my experience is exactly contrary to this, ftr.
23:49 mircea_popescu women do what he claims men do, and vice-versa.
23:49 asciilifeform might depend on where
23:49 mircea_popescu "Obvious things like sports always work." fuck me sideways. i never did that yet.
23:49 * asciilifeform lives where people behave roughly like mocsny described
23:50 mircea_popescu odd.
23:50 mircea_popescu because i lived around where you live.
23:50 decimation yeah that's my experience too
23:51 mircea_popescu "Go to a gym, for example, and see how few of the dozens of men and women there are actually talking to each other." who the fuck wants to talk to some guy in a gym wtf.
23:51 mircea_popescu go to the sauna.
23:52 mircea_popescu anyway, mocsiny should move to argentina. these derps have no fucking problem striking conversations with complete strangers that take any length of time in spite of not having any content.
23:53 asciilifeform female derps?!
23:53 mircea_popescu middle of the street ? fine. clerk and person in supermarket queue ? fine. fucking policeman will stop mid arrest and chat with the victim for half an hour.
23:53 mircea_popescu gender indiscriminate.
23:53 asciilifeform l0l
23:53 * asciilifeform must see this
23:54 mircea_popescu bus driver with person that just got on, that they never met before ? fuck traffic, they're only doing 60 mph in the middle of town in a sardine box.
23:54 mircea_popescu what's that!
23:55 decimation heh "People who enjoy going to stadiums and cheering on their sports heroes are feeding the monster which torments their genetically disadvantaged offspring." < so true
