09:54 mircea_popescu let me guess, it was only because of evil republicans pushing their obsolete, meanwhile technologically-revolutionized ideas about scarcity
09:54 mircea_popescu that the bubble popped ?
09:57 BingoBoingo "We’re still waiting for Kozmo 2.0. But there’s also good reason to applaud the folks behind Flooz.com. They wanted to create their own internet-based currency, and though Flooz was a flop, bitcoin has now shown that digital currency can play huge role in the modern world."
09:57 BingoBoingo "Even the Pets.com idea is looking mighty good. The basic notion that people wanted to buy pet food online and have it delivered to their homes turns out to be a sound one."

09:57 mircea_popescu it was over swol.
09:58 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo yeah, totally, because "ideas" are what matters. so what if flooz.com was roughly equivalent to reddit derps making redditcoin. IT WAS AN IDEA.
09:59 mircea_popescu i'm sure all the various 19yos that had THE IDEA of you know, a bunch of naked women in your house, are spiritual forefathers to the harem.
09:59 mircea_popescu fuck the arabs and so on. what, 1600s existed now ?!
09:59 BingoBoingo Sure and pets.com was an idea, that could have totally worked if the thing actually was budgeted to live off of retailer profit margins instead of a VC funded money fire
09:59 mircea_popescu you don't understand how ideas work.
10:00 BingoBoingo Maybe I don't
10:00 mircea_popescu anyway, wasn't pets.com basically groupon arbitrarily limited for the pets scam only ?

10:00 mircea_popescu ie, "we're fleecing the living dailights out of you for no reason, but if you assemble in large groups we'll fleece a little less ?"
10:02 BingoBoingo Oh, it was a whole Amazon.com style retailer I thought
10:02 mircea_popescu nope.
10:02 mircea_popescu it was just a petfood seller with the odd idea of actually buying warehouses.

10:17 mircea_popescu the pets.com thing, incidentally, was exactly opposite to bitcoin : wildly popular with the something awful centered libtard crowd.
10:18 BingoBoingo Sure. They figured if pets.com could get dollars dumped on them, any idea could get them paid. On the other hand Bitcoin even in the earliest days supposed people STFU and get in line.

10:28 assbot Logged on 08-12-2014 15:26:33; mircea_popescu: "Mr. Barber’s financial statement shows that he is currently insolvent on a balance sheet basis."
10:28 gribble The operation succeeded.
10:28 mircea_popescu "Mr. Barber does not have the ability to fund a defense of any cause of action and would likely be forced into a chapter 7 if forced to defend against claims brought by the estate. The financial statement suggests that such a chapter 7 filing would be determined to be a “no asset” case. Accordingly, the Debtors and the Committee believe that absent a settlement, it would be very difficult to collect anything at all
10:28 mircea_popescu from Mr. Barber, even if a judgment was already in hand today. This factor weighed heavily in the Debtors’ and Committee’s decision-making."
10:29 mircea_popescu so the tardstalk schmucks were going around acting as if this utter bum is somehow a businessman.
10:29 mircea_popescu one of 'em huh.

10:39 mircea_popescu seems to me better to defend the defensible position rather than try and defend an undefensible positon that's nevertheless slightly more inland. but wtf do i know about strategy.
10:42 fluffypony sure
10:42 fluffypony but
10:43 fluffypony CLAMs are "special" because if you owned Bitcoin or Dogecoin or Litecoin at some magical date when it launched or whatever, then you can "redeem" CLAMs
10:43 mircea_popescu uh.
10:44 mircea_popescu wait i recall this thing. why do you figure it's related to dooglus ?
10:44 fluffypony so in a court of law I'm certain the argument could be made that it has equivalency, and merely giving it a new name doesn't make it any different to Bitcoin
10:44 mircea_popescu i thought he was making some new jd-special coin.

12:11 asciilifeform jurov: a 'wot-enabled' router will simply prioritize, say, udp packets signed with particular keys
12:11 mircea_popescu dude how is it that all these dudes with wild historicity claims fail to back them up ?
12:12 mircea_popescu i recall that "badon effect" dude reducing his "2004" to "2012" on the first cursory examination.
12:12 asciilifeform (and - optionally - drop others, if congestion sensors are tripped)
12:12 mircea_popescu jurov i imagine he just wants a more continuous bgp arrangement.
12:12 jurov how will router determine? ;;gettrust self source?
12:12 mircea_popescu rather than the very discrete "either you're in or out of the group" thing
12:13 asciilifeform what i want can be approximately described as 'internet that does not operate on the rivers of meat principle'
12:13 asciilifeform that is, explicitly anti-democratic.
12:13 mircea_popescu asciilifeform but still used by rivers of meat ?
12:13 asciilifeform used by the users.
12:13 jurov "will simply prioritize, say, udp packets signed with particular keys" sounds to me exactly like "either you're in or out of the group"
12:13 asciilifeform elementarily.
12:13 mircea_popescu answer the q lol.
12:13 mircea_popescu jurov yes but more layers to the group.
12:14 mircea_popescu currently the way it works is however many people can route you in or out. and that's that.
12:14 mircea_popescu (so not wanting to relive the experience of the cabal they mostly don't use it)
12:14 asciilifeform used by potentially anyone, but 'deadheads' (non-wot folks) will ride in the back of the bus at all times.
12:14 mircea_popescu his idea would allow layers to work better.
12:16 asciilifeform i'll spill the beans, if somebody wants to reimplement. basic unit of transmission is 'raptor code' over udp. hence - connectionless.
12:17 asciilifeform thus every packet identifies what pubkey (i.e. who signed) and what particular fountain it belongs to (what's a fountain? see definition of 'raptor' and other 'fountain' erasure codes)

12:21 mircea_popescu this will be a nightmare for gaming.
12:22 asciilifeform gaming already uses udp
12:22 asciilifeform just, sans signatures (or erasure code or any mechanism whatsoever for reliable delivery)
12:22 mircea_popescu low latency tho.
12:23 asciilifeform my scheme, given hardware acceleration for the signer & erasure decoder, is as low latency as it gets
12:23 asciilifeform thing is, with a code like raptor, -order- of packets no longer matters
12:23 asciilifeform it's a pure k-of-n decode

12:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform hm.
12:25 asciilifeform anyone who wonders why this was never done... answer - uses mathematics that did not exist when the net was built (reed-solomon existed, yes! but quite inefficient)
12:26 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Well, the derps derped about their webwallets on blockchain.info being safe. In the end it was blockchain.info that fucked them.
12:26 mircea_popescu "There seems to be a new buggy program that reuses the same R value for all signatures in a transaction. It started around September 2014"
12:27 mircea_popescu "Note that the addresses that appear only in the second list still may be in danger, e.g., if they stem from a BIP32 wallet and one knows the "xpub" public key."
12:27 mircea_popescu specifically, this gives the lie, exemplarily, to "oh, bip32 poses no threat to your security"
12:27 mircea_popescu it does. practical proof here.
12:28 asciilifeform the lie was obvious to an alert first-grader.
12:29 mircea_popescu nevertheless, we're surrounded by women.
12:29 mircea_popescu and women aren't gradable.
12:29 asciilifeform ?!
12:29 asciilifeform women or 'women'
12:29 asciilifeform i.e. eunuchs
12:30 * asciilifeform is somewhat befuddled by mircea_popescu's habit of referring to eunuchs as 'women'
12:30 mircea_popescu why ?

12:32 mircea_popescu not how it's supposed to be done.
12:32 mircea_popescu so ?
12:33 mircea_popescu let em figure things out.
12:33 mircea_popescu plurisemy and syntactico-lexical ambiguity are the actual reasons language is an adequate medium of thought,
12:33 asciilifeform ulterior << not even buying the 'they work precisely alike if you don't attempt to fuck'em' hypothesis

12:33 mircea_popescu suppose buyer also takes goats.
12:33 mircea_popescu "goats aren't cattle" ?
12:34 asciilifeform more of a 'steer is not functionally identical to a cow' sort of thing here.
12:34 mircea_popescu if i'm sending it to the mcdonalds factory it might be.
12:35 mircea_popescu otherwise, no cow is identical to any other cow.
12:35 asciilifeform meat processing experts - chime in
12:35 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> more of a 'steer is not functionally identical to a cow' sort of thing here. << WHen collected for meat it is
12:35 mircea_popescu here's the thing : bug parts are functionally identical to rice,

13:08 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: if you want the entire recipe that leads to proper corpse, you will have to derive it yourself
13:09 mircea_popescu no but seriously, so through this or any other million ways one so inclined could create a ddos network. ok, so ?
13:09 asciilifeform for now may settle for the classical 'if you sit by the river long enough, you'll see the body of your enemy float by.'
13:09 asciilifeform point is not to create ddos, but to swat a mosquito

16:28 The20YearIRCloud Hmm
16:28 mats you have been banished from the island
16:29 The20YearIRCloud Guess so
16:29 The20YearIRCloud Oh well
16:30 The20YearIRCloud So far i've given out 8 posters, so far no one has cashed them in, go figure
16:30 The20YearIRCloud Granted none of my renters have PC and none can figure out how to do it via mobile phone
16:32 The20YearIRCloud But if you want to retaliate at me for my tenants not cashing in the posters.....then so be it. I've tried to do my part in educating them about bitcoin, how to cash them in and so forth. I realize the print cost for the posters was paid out by someone. But I don't understand why you're getting mad at ME over it.

16:32 fluffypony did you at least teach them the secret handshake?
16:33 The20YearIRCloud I've explained for 5-10 minutes per tenant how it worked, to go on IRCwebchat, and to cash them in. I still have the 42 or so left over still sitting in my closet. I can mail em back to someone if they want. Howver i don't know what I am supposed to do if no one follows my directions or the ones on the posters.
16:34 The20YearIRCloud I told them they'd get $35-$40 worth of bitcoins for free, and all it would do is take at worst an hour of their time, at best 5 minutes.
16:35 jurov i'd be eager to try one myself, with some phto documentation.. or that was verboten?
16:35 The20YearIRCloud Heck, i gave two out to guys who worked for me, and I know for a fact they're dead broke and they still couldn't figure out how to do it.
16:35 The20YearIRCloud And that was the last part of October
16:35 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 27600 @ 0.00051884 = 14.32 BTC [-] {2}
16:37 The20YearIRCloud I had told MP that it would have been a much, much better process if I ran a contest or something locally for the posters, that way they would have gone to houses where they wanted them or were higher educated. Yet i even had one tenant flat out refuse the poster after I put in their hands because it was 'too complicated' and 'all we have is a nintendo wii
16:37 The20YearIRCloud and it doesn't do that stuff'.
16:39 The20YearIRCloud Maybe I could give mircea_popescu their phone numbers and he could call em and ask them why? What the heck is expected of me beyond explaining to them how to do it and giving them the poster? Am I expected to spend a hour getting them on IRC and doing it all for them?

16:49 mircea_popescu by now it's roughly, give or take, 1gh/watt.
16:50 mircea_popescu The20YearIRCloud well nothing's specifically expected from you, that;s the problem with statistics.
16:51 mircea_popescu it's not a matter of "retaliating" or w/e.
16:51 The20YearIRCloud I'm asking you what you want me to do when I've given 8 to clients/tenants and none have cashed them in. I've got a negative rating from you over it, so i wouldn't mind resolving it if at all possible.
16:51 fluffypony I still think you should've taught them the secret handshake, problem solved
16:52 mircea_popescu The20YearIRCloud i dun want you to do anything specifically.
16:52 mircea_popescu what do you want *me* to do.
16:53 The20YearIRCloud Explain why I have a negative rating mentioning the posters. What else am I supposed to do with them?
16:53 mircea_popescu <jurov> i'd be eager to try one myself, with some phto documentation.. or that was verboten? << try what you mean ?
16:53 jurov the poster
16:53 jurov cash it in
16:53 mircea_popescu jurov nah, that's done.
16:54 The20YearIRCloud They didn't have coupon codes on them, just instructions
16:54 mircea_popescu The20YearIRCloud looky at what it says. "If you believe him you're stuck crediting a large pile of very improbable things, such as that no one out of dozen low income renters is interested in cashing ~50 bux worth of free BTC, or that buyers somehow materialize on Havelock to buy shares at 2x the going price for a single IPO day."
16:54 The20YearIRCloud At least, i'm not aware of any codes on them, if there were, they weren't obvious.
16:54 mircea_popescu now, these are facts.
16:54 mircea_popescu what exactly caused them, how they're to be construed etc etc is entirely open to anyone's interpretation.
16:55 The20YearIRCloud And I get a negative rating over their lack of effort
16:55 mircea_popescu no, you get a negative rating the same way anyone ever did : by making a large enough pile of claims improbable enough.
16:56 The20YearIRCloud What do you think I did with the posters? Just put em in a closet to have to resell some day in the future?
16:57 fluffypony giant paper airplanes, most likely
16:57 mircea_popescu i have no idea dood. how would i know.
16:58 mike_c !up The20YearIRCloud
16:59 The20YearIRCloud So, in other words : I did what was requested of me with the posters, I get neg repped for them. I did what my shareholders wanted by selling them more treasury shares at a specific USD value, I get neg repped for it. In both cases I did what was asked of me, with proof (Phone numbers and shareholders on my IRC chat) and still get negative rep because of it?
16:59 The20YearIRCloud Doesn't make sense to me.
17:00 mircea_popescu so your sworn testimony here is that out of however many tenants, not one has a working smartphone ? or what is it ? computers don't really so much enter into it as far as i can see.
17:00 mike_c do you see why it would look weird for you to sell shares at an inflated price when your investors could have bought them cheaper on the open market?
17:00 The20YearIRCloud Most of em have working smart phones, their statement to me was that they couldn't figure out how to get on IRC.
17:01 The20YearIRCloud mike_c: they wanted to invest more cash directly in the company that would go to our bank, and not buy shares from individuals on the open market.
17:01 TomServo I'd think your average low income earner would bend over backwards for fiddy bux.
17:02 The20YearIRCloud You'd think so.
17:03 mike_c The20YearIRCloud: do you list the address of your properties anywhere?
17:03 The20YearIRCloud I've already sent messages out to those that i gave em to asking for a reasoning to them not cashing em in. Two guys have already told me they never got em even after I put em in their vehicles.
17:03 The20YearIRCloud It's not public but if someone REALLY wanted em, i'd make the properties & deeds available. Around last year I gave mircea_popescu deed copies of 2 or 3 of the properties.
17:03 The20YearIRCloud Our board of advisors has copies of our deeds and bank statements.
17:04 mircea_popescu umm.
17:05 mircea_popescu i remember you promising to put your deeds online but not carrying through. i dun recall this "given me" deeds.
17:05 mircea_popescu nfi why i wouldn't have said something at the time, either.
17:06 The20YearIRCloud I sent you to landaccess.com and showed you how to look up TIF copies
17:06 The20YearIRCloud Since everything is in the company name and the deeds are publically available.
17:06 mircea_popescu which nick was this ?

17:08 mircea_popescu lmao the www thing still an issue on teh webs huh.
17:08 The20YearIRCloud It is with a rural area like ours.
17:08 dub its not a proper website without!@
17:09 The20YearIRCloud We had a whole conversation about how we use deeds in Ohio and not torrens titles
17:09 The20YearIRCloud You can also use the auditor to try and look up the data ,but depending on the county, some auditors are more than a year behind on their record updates.
17:09 dub wow
17:10 dub is it 2014 in Ohio?
17:10 The20YearIRCloud Depends on the county
17:10 mircea_popescu grep -n "landaccess" FreeNode-the20yearircloud.log FreeNode-the20year.log comes up emtpy.
17:10 mircea_popescu musta been a diff nick.
17:10 The20YearIRCloud There are counties near us that do not have online access outside of the office specific intranet. You have to call and ask for emails.
17:10 The20YearIRCloud Possibly, it would have been via PM and not chat log
17:10 mircea_popescu all pms are logged.
17:11 mircea_popescu anyway, im pretty sure i never actually evaluated either the site involved or w/e it contained. im entirely unsure why is this not public again ?
17:11 mircea_popescu how's property register work other than as a public matter.
17:11 The20YearIRCloud Those are the only two I can think of that i'd use. At any rate I just sent you links to two different auditors, between those two there's 10 different units.
17:12 The20YearIRCloud Because I had threats 6 months back from people online that they'd call the tenants and threaten em.
17:12 mircea_popescu nuts.
17:12 dub how does murica have unemployment with this insane inefficiency
17:13 The20YearIRCloud Not sure
17:13 mircea_popescu dub it only has unemployment in the cities :D
17:13 The20YearIRCloud The same counties that are intra-net only have the entire county on one giant CAD file that's accurate to within a few centimeters
17:13 The20YearIRCloud None of it really makes sense.
17:15 ben_vulpes you can say that again
17:16 dub I can grab basic detail of any property in my countRy from a single web GIS interface for free, its then $50 for complete records of every time someone farted near it
17:17 The20YearIRCloud But, at any rate, the individuals on our BOA have access to bank records and property deeds/addresses. Additionally I've re-sent a link to MP just now showing one county's records on us.
17:17 The20YearIRCloud Columbus Oh is like that, the records are fantastic, with additional property photos (not google earth/streetview ones) that the assessor has taken of each home in the county.

17:52 mircea_popescu teamviewer is its own kind of braindamage.
17:52 asciilifeform from the last article mentioning it - appears to be exactly 'back orifice'

17:59 mircea_popescu inept "hiring"/"outsourcing" websites, modelled after get a freelancer (which has been in fact on an insane buying spree, they recently swallowed up warrior forum - the epicenter of those idiotic "infoproducts" consisting of yellow underlined text and a fetishistic "box" with reflections and whatnot)
18:00 mircea_popescu promote a particularly insane view of hiring, where to hire someone for an hour is essentially a nonsexual camwhoring arrangement. you're to tell the op what to do, as micromanagement-y as moving their own hands.
18:00 mircea_popescu the software platform this nonsense happens on is teamviewer (and before that, and to some degree supporting it today, skype)
18:01 mircea_popescu so, all over the world right now, tons of people wasting each other's time in pairs, like retarded marmocets trying to move a ball across the field.
18:01 asciilifeform lol! i imagined that the masturbee must pay the masturbator, in such an arrangement
18:01 asciilifeform never would have conceived of the reverse.
18:01 mircea_popescu yeah welll....
18:01 mircea_popescu people enjoy simcity right ?
18:02 mircea_popescu it's essentially for the masturbator "play an elaborate sort of sims while pretending to be at work"

18:27 punkman from linked paper: "The analysis is very disturbing: it appears that the bitcoin core client has NOT yet finalized the process of several security upgrades which propose a solution to this problem (deterministic random generation) event though a first solution was already submitted in January 2013"

18:29 asciilifeform 'deterministic random generation'
18:30 punkman the R value thing, instead of using RNG, you can just hash tx+key or something like that.
18:30 punkman so the Android wallets don't break again
18:31 asciilifeform Android wallets << why even necessary ?
18:31 asciilifeform i just don't get it
18:31 punkman me neither, I use dumbphone
18:31 mircea_popescu im not all that convinced deterministic generation (nothing random about it) is such a brilliant idea.
18:32 mircea_popescu sure, it makes it easier for idiots to use bitcoin,
18:32 mircea_popescu meanwhile it also makes it easier for everyone's wallets to be broken
18:32 * asciilifeform is breaking his brain trying to grasp who thought it was a good idea, in what application, and why
18:33 punkman it makes sense for this little thing
18:33 asciilifeform how?
18:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform web "programmers"
18:33 mircea_popescu little men in little cubical spaces doing little things in little excel cells.
18:33 punkman because accidental re-use even from different users can reveal keys in various ways
18:33 asciilifeform ok, the 'who' is settled. but the forensic psychiatrist in me is not satisfied - why ?
18:33 punkman so if you hash tx+something, that's not gonna happen
18:34 asciilifeform not gonna happen >>
18:34 asciilifeform !s randomly wired
18:34 assbot 6 results for 'randomly wired' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=randomly+wired
18:34 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the problem only appears if r values are equal
18:34 mircea_popescu if hashing or w/e other prngsauce is used, it won't be equal.
18:35 asciilifeform unless can factor out 'sauce'
18:35 mircea_popescu ofcourse the actual random r is a general class solution, and provably stronger than prng r for general applications.
18:35 mircea_popescu well of course.

18:46 mircea_popescu oh the use of srandom etc. myea.
18:47 mircea_popescu "The reasons for this are history not known to me, but it might even be linked to Dual_EC_DRBG." <, is, afaik.
18:47 BingoBoingo Indeed. "To satisfy portable code, srand() may be called to initialize the subsystem. In OpenBSD the seed variable is ignored, and strong random number results will be provided from arc4random(3.) In other systems, the seed variable primes a simplistic deterministic algorithm. If the standardized behavior is required srand_deterministic() can be substituted for srand(), then subsequent rand() calls will return results using the d
18:47 BingoBoingo eterministic algorithm."
18:47 asciilifeform for once, i dare suggest that more mundane - most programmers, historically, don't want 'random', but 'random-flavoured but ultimately reproducible' for testing of games, toys, etc
18:48 asciilifeform the difference - at least, once was - taught in school, wherever folks were introduced to the machine
18:50 punkman " They will suddenly see strong randomization where they did not before. There may be a few broken because the have a deeply hidden dependency on determinism. Sorry, but that is what it is going to take."

21:31 asciilifeform it was quite educational in that respect (in the sense of demonstrating, to anyone with half a brain, the inescapable folly of 'natural language' programming)

21:32 asciilifeform more as a demonstration of how a programming system ought to behave in the general sense
21:35 BingoBoingo But as a demonstration.
21:37 BingoBoingo The only environment I've ever been similarly confident with was the old "Hot Dog HTML" that was included on the web design for dummies book cd at the local library
21:37 mircea_popescu iang well alternatively there's always the half year's lurking an' reading logs.
21:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally, until such a time as natural language works for coding, there won't be the "evil ai" whatever guy's worried about.
21:39 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: as a boy, i often thought that i would grow up, 'have money', and buy an apple computer - at least to try it (the crippled machines at schools, etc. were an interesting diversion, and i imagined that mac is 'rich man's computer' somehow)

21:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: didn't happen. not that i don't own enough junk, incl. apples of every period, to fill a small scrapyard - but i wanted living 'butterfly' not zoological specimen preserved in glass
21:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the company 'apple' died, in '99, replaced silently with 'next'. but you knew this.
21:41 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Summer before college I though I'd buy a new Apple on their financing, had not realized company had died. Mercifully was declined and got a used Dell Latitude.
21:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'natural language' for a program makes the same amount of sense as for mathematics. atrociously inefficient and requires very 'unnatural' concessions of rigour or at least standardized disambiguations.
21:42 mircea_popescu yes but you're aware i was discussing danger.
21:43 asciilifeform mircea_popescu is probably thinking of a hypothetical machine that emulates a living programmer and can be 'made friends with' and spoken to, describing what he wants. in that case - yes
21:43 mircea_popescu a purely mathematical language won't ever matter politically.
21:43 BingoBoingo Didn't realize apple died till junior year of college when I got an iPod to replace a Rio MP3 player and was introduced to iTunes
21:43 asciilifeform what means 'matter politically' ?
21:43 asciilifeform used by men fighting one another?
21:43 asciilifeform in that case even 'visual basic' qualifies!
21:45 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: it is interesting to see how apple corp. (the renamed 'next', not the original) put to use its total monopoly in portable computerized gadgets not immediately discardable as junk to push perverse anachronisms that would have been laughed off if from another (weird proprietary cabling, required closed-source 'sync' apps, etc.)
21:45 mircea_popescu http://cdn.collarspace.com/photos/2036091.jpg << said ai.

21:47 asciilifeform undata: mr y is the master octopus
21:47 mircea_popescu they're thinking of a politically relevant ai.
21:47 mircea_popescu that's different from a mathematically bound ai, no matter how clever
21:47 asciilifeform the others - simply read nth-generation spew from him
21:47 mircea_popescu perhaps this latter also different from a purely numeric ai
21:47 undata I'm personally much more near-term concerned with ever-cheaper guns/bombs with propellers
21:48 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Apple, the heritage company was never entirely innocent on the cabling front (Apple desktop bus, etc) The portable gadgets yes did demand a still more grotesque submission. Thankfully pawn shops love Apple shit.
21:48 undata things which take lat/lng and desired size of crater as input
21:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: mr y & friends believe in an ai equivalent of fermi's 'ignition of the atmosphere' hypothetical catastrophe.
21:50 mircea_popescu undata there's excellent reasons not to worry about that.
21:50 cazalla BingoBoingo: The only environment I've ever been similarly confident with was the old "Hot Dog HTML" that was included on the web design for dummies book cd at the local library <<< lol sausage software, my uncle never shut up about these guys

21:51 asciilifeform not really analogous, if it
21:51 BingoBoingo cazalla: Compared to the adobe turds at the highschool it was elegant
21:52 cazalla BingoBoingo, i never used it, i was maybe 15-16 at the time and muh uncle constantly telling me to buy shares in sausage software
21:52 BingoBoingo Also worked on the dumpster 486 packard bell with windows 3.1
21:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, not at all.
21:57 mircea_popescu originally earth was under a methane atmosphere
21:57 mircea_popescu then the first optional aerobes were spawned.
21:57 asciilifeform nah fermi's thing was about a fissile chain-reaction.

21:58 asciilifeform he was, at first, not able to show that it would not span the entire solid earth plus atmosphere.
21:58 asciilifeform this bothered the more neurotic types in 'manhattan project.'
22:00 mircea_popescu yeah.

22:01 asciilifeform strictly speaking, he doesn't.

22:04 iang ah, is that something my IRC client needs to be aware of ?

22:07 iang hmmm, you are alleged to befriend trolls
22:08 BingoBoingo Pretty sure everyone on the interent is at some point.
22:08 BingoBoingo Similarly everyone on the internet is themself alleged to be a troll at some point on a long enough timeline
22:09 mircea_popescu on the internet, everyone knows you're a troll.
22:09 iang yah. I remember (one of?) the last person I used to talk regularly with gpg would make keys every month and dispose of the old ones. I only talked to him maybe once a month so it didn’t last...
22:09 asciilifeform disposed of old before - or after - signing key[n] with key[n-1]
22:09 asciilifeform ?
22:10 iang oh, after, kept a merry chain posting into perpetuity
22:10 asciilifeform then why problem ?
22:11 BingoBoingo iang: Current best practice seems to be gen RSA/RSA and just make the it huge
22:11 iang well, every month I’d send him an email and he’d send me back a request to use his new key :)
22:11 BingoBoingo iang: Have you seen http://nosuchlabs.com/ yet?
22:11 iang BingoBoingo: yup. I guess everyone’s got the message that the threat is on the node.
22:12 BingoBoingo iang: yeah. I can see monthly pub key updates being a hassel if your big GPG use case is signatures
22:12 iang ha, no. Is that based on the RNG problems that various platforms had?
22:13 BingoBoingo iang: It's actually one of alf's toys
22:13 asciilifeform not advertised, on account of being (so far) a null result
22:14 iang seems to work better if I give it an RSA key ;-)
22:14 asciilifeform also i have several million keys that wait to be thrown in (presently hosted in 'cloud' crapolade, cannot really handle serious work)
22:15 BingoBoingo Well, I dunno of any better to gen keys with atm than RSA.
22:15 asciilifeform every time someone mentions this, i ask 'btc hosting exists yet?'
22:15 asciilifeform and then silence.

23:18 undata at my old job, we were creating a visual SQL editor as the primary way of fiddling this envisioned programming environment

23:19 undata I left the company when I lost a conflict over whether we should shift focus from burning the founder's money to making money

23:20 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 23500 @ 0.00048154 = 11.3162 BTC [-] {3}
23:20 undata that pg_meta embodies the approach; for everything, you make a data model
23:20 undata you change things in the world by changing their model
23:21 undata it was pretty damn elegant; I still try to code that way
23:23 asciilifeform undata: what means 'visual' ? not being pedantic, seriously puzzled
23:23 asciilifeform strange and ubiquitous marketing word.
23:23 asciilifeform vt100 was 'visual' just as much as 'visual basic'
23:23 undata we bound widgets to various chunks of AST
23:23 asciilifeform widgets?
23:23 undata UI components which were meant to say represent a join, or a boolean expression, or what have you
23:24 asciilifeform but what kind of 'ui components'
23:24 asciilifeform what did this look like ?

23:32 undata asciilifeform: I don't have any screenshots, but things like two boxes representing tables, each having things you can tap to select columns
23:33 undata drawing a line between two columns of two tables and using a venn diagram in the middle to define the join type
23:33 asciilifeform ugh
23:33 undata and it was 2-way synced with the source code
23:36 undata it wasn't bad as far as jobs go, but in the end we invented a shitty version of emacs in the browser in JS

23:40 undata this idea that you can get dumb people to do smart things if only you find a way to put smart behind a single button mouse is a terrible religion
