00:43 sexy_saffron that would be cool, but I'm mostly into older games
00:43 mircea_popescu that only makes it better.
00:43 sexy_saffron UT2003, wow, elite force...
00:43 mircea_popescu new games suck anyway
00:44 sexy_saffron I suppose I could do gameplay vids on our private wow server, showing all the bugs :P
00:45 sexy_saffron youtube hates me though :P
00:45 mircea_popescu and then you could have a vote button, let the readers vote on whether you should be spanked or not for the review.
00:45 mircea_popescu one vote = one paddle.

01:03 tripleslash nope.
01:03 mircea_popescu trinque she's ok, did hm... where was that
01:03 sexy_saffron Thanks tripleslash!
01:03 tripleslash sexy_saffron: its not don eyet.
01:03 mircea_popescu anyone got a link to sexy_saffron s video @ TLP was it ?
01:03 tripleslash err, done yet.
01:03 gabriel_laddel twas for taleb
01:04 gabriel_laddel she giggles throughout iirc
01:04 sexy_saffron yeah! I saw he did really well with his hedge fund during the first crash
01:04 mircea_popescu ah so it was.
01:04 tripleslash sexy_saffron: [e]changekey is a two step process. You have to prove you have the private key.
01:05 sexy_saffron it didn't ask me to sign anything, it just said successful, what's the next step?
01:06 asciilifeform ;;later tell jurov what happened to the beautiful idea of NOT FUCKING MUTILATING FILENAMES ?!!!
01:06 gribble The operation succeeded.
01:06 tripleslash when you do the changekey, it'll either send you a pastebin that you need to decrypt or a otp that you need to encrypt.
01:07 tripleslash you use verify/everify depending on which way you're choosing to go.
01:08 sexy_saffron ah ok, it did link me to a message, which decrypted looks like the authentication phrase
01:08 sexy_saffron what's the difference between verify and everify?
01:08 tripleslash verify goes with changekey. everify goes with echangekey.

01:13 tripleslash sexy_saffron, yes it did. congrats!
01:14 gabriel_laddel it'll spark an interesting conversation - or not.

03:06 Vexual that was you
03:06 mircea_popescu mmyeah.
03:06 mircea_popescu much like most that invoke the original vision of jesus.
03:06 Vexual shitstains et all
03:06 tripleslash there are about as many eye witness accounts of both
03:06 mircea_popescu or for that matter, the original vision of the founding fathers folks are plainly innocent of the federalist papers.

03:07 Vexual chin shin
03:08 tripleslash At the end of the day, Satoshi isn't around to continue to shepherd his project (at least by the satoshi name), so his original vision starts to lose relevance.
03:09 Vexual he left a pretty heady resolve
03:09 punkman I doubt satoshi expected bitcoin to come this far

09:43 nanashi_ Hello, Mr. mircea_popescu.
09:43 nanashi_ I'd like to ask a question about "What if I created a bet address but can't bet right now?"(https://bitbet.us/faq/#150), which states 3-day window for betting.
09:43 nanashi_ Is there any remedial action due to the damage caused by the "stress-testing" which was occurring on the BTC network?
09:43 nanashi_ I have realized that "faq/#150" is potentially very dangerous to almost all bettors given the unpredictable "stress-testing" which might occur in the future.
09:44 nanashi_ For example, it was reported (https://bitbet.us/bet/1153/btc-to-top-350-before-september/#c4934) that 0.1 BTC vote on yes with a fee of .00001 took 5 days until the first confirmation.
09:44 punkman pay more fees, problem solved
09:44 nanashi_ During an emergency like "stress-testing," I'd like to see a remedial measure which extends the 3-day window to something like 7-day window, or as a last resort, a manual inquiry for refunding.
09:44 nanashi_ Also, I'm wondering if it is possible, that by monitoring "mempool" of BTC transactions, BitBet can anticipate that the bet address is to be used by a bettor, so be able to make it exempt from reclaiming the address.
09:47 nanashi_ punkman: Yes. But I anticipate a bigger incident will inevitably occur due to a 1MB thing.

09:48 pete_dushenski doesn't look like you're in any sort of position to make 'recommendations' to how bitbet does anything
09:51 nanashi_ pete_dushenski: I'm sorry. All I can do is monitoring BTC network's statistics and pay enough fees. Thank you.
09:51 pete_dushenski don't mention it
10:04 nanashi_ Those were my worry-ness. I have never thought "faq/#150" had much meaning because I thought forgetting for 3 days seemed to be a complete idiot!

14:14 mircea_popescu ascii_field but what distinguish!
14:14 ascii_field punkman: what metadata.
14:14 trinque punkman: no!
14:14 mircea_popescu what, substantially, would you be distinguishing.
14:14 trinque point inward from elsewhere
14:14 trinque descriptions and shit; we've got hypertext
14:14 punkman ascii_field: say author's fingerprint?
14:14 ascii_field mircea_popescu: the only timestamps worth anything are deedbot's
14:15 mircea_popescu explain the concept to me in general.
14:15 mircea_popescu so you write a song, and play it here. sometime later, i play this song for my hos.
14:15 trinque I briefly thought "what about metadata in the vpatches" then slapped myself
14:15 mircea_popescu define the concept of "author" ; distinguish it fromn the concept of "signator"
14:16 ascii_field mircea_popescu: my point was precisely that it is a spurious distinction, and that i do not make it in the system; and that anyone who wants to try to be remembered as the first one to pen a particular patch had better deedbot his signature
14:16 mircea_popescu so what does "author" mean ?
14:16 mircea_popescu alrighty. so why would anyone ask you anything about this :)
14:16 mircea_popescu "hey guise, i get no shit for doing things right, my worn out butt is surprised. what is this!"
14:16 ascii_field l0l
14:17 trinque well here's something, not having one "working dir" concept, but rather "fart out any chain of patches wherever you like" is exactly right
14:17 mircea_popescu the concept of "who pissed in chlorine first" is very much different from the concept of "who knows how to make never gas"
14:17 mircea_popescu the former's a purely historical interest. the latter's practical.
14:17 fluffypony never gas?

14:31 mircea_popescu aha
14:31 mircea_popescu quite exactly that.
14:31 ascii_field not a thing that can be permitted
14:31 mircea_popescu such derp.
14:32 ascii_field the fraud isn't that they won't give out free bandwidth, but insist on advertising 'unlimited' while in practice entirely opposite
14:32 mircea_popescu they actually advertise unlimited ?
14:32 trinque oh yeah.
14:32 mircea_popescu if they do, i taker it back.
14:32 ascii_field 'eat as much as you want so long as it is not too much by our lights'
14:33 mircea_popescu "unlimited" has for many years meant "enough for your needs if you don't need much", which is finbe.
14:33 mircea_popescu i thought they advertised 20 MBps like my provider in ro or something specific.
14:33 trinque they also make claims about LTE speed
14:33 ascii_field there was a rate in there
14:33 ascii_field the 'unlimited' refers to bulk tonnage
14:33 mircea_popescu well if there's a rate they're frauds.
14:33 trinque point is words don't mean shit, and the rules are intentionally arbitrary because "fuck you"
14:34 mircea_popescu as i somehow suspect that rate comes with mbps after a number.
14:34 mircea_popescu trinque not in contracts.
14:34 ascii_field t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don't have a tonnage limit!!111'
14:34 trinque well I would agree.
14:34 ascii_field 'not like the others!'
14:34 trinque mircea_popescu: they worm around it with "up to x Mbps"
14:35 mircea_popescu even so.
14:35 BingoBoingo <ascii_field> t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself as 'we don't have a tonnage limit!!111' << This they advertise X speed for first Y transfer and after that max tonnage at best effort speed
14:35 ascii_field they relied on it being 'smartpNohe only' for the limiter

21:23 phf more like bureaucratic cancer. bureaucrat is "responsible" for an area of human endeavor, same way as cancer is responsible for your lungs or liver
21:23 asciilifeform general-purpose programmable computer is far more feared by usg than the most powerful dynamite.
21:26 asciilifeform young people already make a face of disbelief if you tell'em that when you were a boy it was routine to modify the asm routines of your os directly, or bypass them entirely
21:27 asciilifeform or that 'remote update' was not yet a thing
21:28 asciilifeform this trend carries on.
21:28 asciilifeform it was naive of rms & co. to predict 'microshit will ban linux' in '01 or whenever the 'palladium' thing started going

21:29 asciilifeform no one is banning linux. instead there is a 'linux foundation' (see log) which will sign 'legit, non-terrorist' kernels for you
21:29 asciilifeform that you can run on the nintendoized cpu.
21:29 asciilifeform complete with systemd-in-silicon
21:30 asciilifeform unless mircea_popescu pulls a cpu fab out of his shirt pocket, there is nothing preventing this disease from progressing.
21:31 phf it's a common thread here, the whole rise of "open" as true openness disappears. to paraphrase snl skit, "our hardware is maker open - what does that mean? - not open"
21:32 phf odd to read rms from 10-15 years ago and see his predictions come out right..
21:32 asciilifeform phf: except, in ways no one afaik particularly expected to be possible, ~more~ direly than rms predicted.
21:32 phf yes!
21:33 asciilifeform this is because rms likely grew up on the usual 20th c. dystopian fictions where there is always folks struggling to escape, etc
21:33 asciilifeform on account of how you can't really write an engaging yarn about inhabitants of the real thing, as we have it
21:33 phf right, well, it's the whole 1984 vs brave new world
21:34 asciilifeform in real world, 'telescreen' is not in every room but in every toilet stall, and people not only do not hide from it but pose for it, and complain about not enough resolution on the ccd.
21:36 asciilifeform re: 'nintendoized' cpu: folks who are counting on the chinese to 'carry the torch' of real computer, are fooling themselves
21:36 asciilifeform they are not interested in it any more than usg is.
21:37 asciilifeform they would, in fact, make exact copies of intel's crud (complete with nsa) -- if they could. (ever wonder why they do not?)
21:38 punkman they don't?
21:38 asciilifeform nope.
21:38 phf it's probably heinlein point, true freedom exists only at frontier, but because folk are preoccupied with practical things like "how to survive" rather then "my neighbor is smoking weed and ~gasp~ enjoying it"
21:39 asciilifeform and even their cheap 'arm' cores are direct-licensed now, from britain.
21:40 phf while china is playing catch up, you get a computing equivalent of wild west with areas where the control simply didn't have resources to manifest, as soon as u.s. stops driving chip design, china will start closing up same holes u.s. is in the process of closing up right now
21:40 asciilifeform this is a perpetual 'will tomorrow'
21:40 asciilifeform so far, EVERY SINGLE SI FAB ON THE PLANET and ALL THE DESIGN TOOLING (with the exception of chuck moore's...) runs on winblowz
21:41 asciilifeform with the same 3 american vendors supplying it
21:41 asciilifeform (at a few $mil a pop)
21:41 asciilifeform there is no sign of the slightest threat of this changing.
21:42 asciilifeform and - even aside from the winblowz, this actually matters. none of it will do general-purpose asynchronous logic, for instance.
21:42 asciilifeform and this is just one particular kind of factory, note.
21:43 asciilifeform one time, out of idle curiosity, i looked into what it would have taken .ir to run natanz u refinery on not-winblowz
21:43 asciilifeform they would have had to build own electronics industry then.
21:43 phf it's the main factory though, since everything else can be done pashtun style
21:43 asciilifeform this is also an illusion
21:44 asciilifeform try making so much as something like a reasonable diesel engine 'pashtun-style'
21:45 asciilifeform there is, after all, a reason why civilized men drive ferrari while the pashtun lives and dies in own shit and fucks goats
21:45 asciilifeform and is only alive because civilized man has not computed a +roi for neutron-bombing him
21:48 phf that's not a problem that i'm facing though, since i don't know of diddle diesel engines (i'm sure they are but..)
21:50 asciilifeform phf: diddling is not the only or even the most traditional exertion of control by the crown
21:50 asciilifeform more commonly it is simply to deny modern tech to the vanquished
21:50 asciilifeform as american pc was denied to su
21:51 asciilifeform or cnc milling machine
21:51 asciilifeform or rifle, to the zulu

21:53 phf *is driven by
21:54 phf i know that my computing rug is slowly being swept from under me
21:58 asciilifeform the rug was somewhat imaginary to begin with.
22:02 phf that's obvious with hindsight, but imaginary in the same sense that лихие 90ые were imaginary, or really any other "interesting times"
22:02 asciilifeform aha.
22:02 asciilifeform but more practically, user hasn't had true grasp of his hardware for a very long time. at least since mid-80s.
22:03 asciilifeform so he was 'spread but not entered yet'
22:04 asciilifeform or think of even something so humble as msdos. despite the fact that you could fill several bookcases with material like 'norton's guide', 'undocumented dos', etc. the thing was never fully reverse-engineered by anyone
22:04 asciilifeform to the point that 'freedos' still won't run certain gamez
22:05 asciilifeform and this despite the fact that msdos 6.2 source leaked in late '90s

22:09 phf yes nobody will be able to build freewindows10
22:21 phf at some point you had SAIL and Augment basically design by men for men, lisp machines, xerox park as products of that. later you get two bit hacks selling imperfect copies of the glimpsed technology, thats your 80s and 90s. at this point there's already "no grasp", but the control is limited, basically a byproduct of commercialism. now you get the next stage, which is when the bureaucrats are getting involved
22:26 BingoBoingo cmake is a piece of shit

22:34 asciilifeform gernika: no argument. my point concerned the traditional argument 'oh but anything can be reverse-engineered perfectly'
22:34 asciilifeform yes, it can. but it is rare for anyone to give the megatonne of shit that must be given, for it to actually happen;
22:34 asciilifeform and when it happens, it is normally for commercial reasons and in secret
22:34 asciilifeform rather then 'bower to the beoble'
22:35 gernika asciilifeform aha. so that's why comander keen doesn't even work.
22:35 asciilifeform aha.

22:38 gernika it starts - but the screen is filled with garbage
22:38 gernika executes commands, etc
22:38 asciilifeform sometimes i wonder if 'freedos' is actually run by wreckers
22:38 asciilifeform a 'bitcoin phoundation' of a kind
22:42 asciilifeform there are some very serious folks who are working on having it be forgotten that a 486 was an entirely usable thing, and in many ways a superior cultural artifact, all things considered, than the computer you and i are sitting in front of today
22:43 phf what isn't. at some point freedos was legit in a poc||gtfo kind of way, i.e. "we did it for the lulz", but now it's positioned as the only legitimate way to run dos programs. that you of course purchased from GoG.
22:43 asciilifeform esp. considering the games.
22:43 asciilifeform ahahahaha
22:43 asciilifeform always there is a one of these, lurking inside

23:19 assbot Monero | Academic and Technical » A formal approach towards better hard fork management ... ( http://bit.ly/1KAZNvy )
23:19 mircea_popescu check this out :
23:19 mircea_popescu "Basic bottom line: every 6 months there's a hard fork. You get 1 hard fork's grace before you have to update or be left behind.
23:19 mircea_popescu Details
23:19 mircea_popescu Every 6 months, either on March 15 + September 15 or on April 15 + October 15, the Monero network will have a hard fork. 30 days before the fork we will have a code freeze + tag + release, and if there are no major changes we'll have an increase in the protocol version (ie. that's at a minimum). A similar fork system to Bitcoin will apply, whereby a rollover to the new code after the trigger block will only occur if a
23:19 mircea_popescu sufficient number of miners are running the new code.
23:19 mircea_popescu Anything that is more of a soft fork will kick in immediately (as long as it doesn't drop pre-fork clients off the network). Anything on the p2p layer (ie. hard forkable) will be kept in the wings until the next fork date (as roughly estimated from block height) and then is enabled.
23:19 mircea_popescu The upshot of this is that you can run a client that is a year old, but pretty much after that 1 year anniversary you'll be dropped off the network (even if there have been no "real" changes in that year)."
23:19 mircea_popescu and i'm like..... mmmkay nevermind.
23:20 asciilifeform it is 'interesting' in the same sense as denizen of insane asylum who thinks he is a glass bottle is more interesting than the fella who thinks he is ordinary napoleon ?
