10:13 billymg !ticker btc usd
10:13 billymg $ticker btc usd
10:13 busybot Current BTC price in USD: $16921.08
10:16 billymg i'm a little suspicious of the timing of this recent chaos, USD is currently rugging. reminds me of march 2020
10:16 bitbot (asciilifeform) 2020-03-12 asciilifeform: pretty interesting, imho. usd prints $tril of fresh printolade, and folx... buy it
10:17 billymg also, attn awt, whaack, anyone thinking of moving to cr: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-11#1015972 (in case it got lost yesterday)
10:17 bitbot Logged on 2022-11-11 14:29:32 billymg: some bitcoin legislation being proposed in CR: http://billymg.com/downloads/Crypto-Asset-Market-Law-23415.pdf
10:17 billymg and http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-11#1015973
10:17 bitbot Logged on 2022-11-11 14:29:43 billymg: overall looks not bad, as far as these things go
10:18 billymg whoops, this one: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2022-11-11#1015974
10:18 bitbot Logged on 2022-11-11 14:45:07 billymg: a few of the better points
10:20 billymg for additional context, the guy who sponsored and led the drafting of the bill is a contact of mine here. any feedback left here will make it back to him directly
~ 1 hours 7 minutes ~
11:28 signpost pretty cool!
11:28 signpost billymg: the definition of ownership here is suprisingly sane.
11:28 signpost "not your keys not your coins"
11:32 signpost nice to see a carve-out for developers in the service provider definition
11:34 signpost there's some ambiguity about whether the operator of a smart contract is a service provider or a developer though. maybe that needs to be further distinguished.
11:34 signpost shitcoiners are also likely to abuse the shit out of the NFT carve-out
11:40 signpost I'd like to see capital requirements and reporting requirements for service providers. codify proof of funds, why not?

12:27 phf asciilifeform, you ever took any gilmer l. blankenship's classes at umd?
12:28 asciilifeform phf: nein
12:29 asciilifeform phf: dun recall encountering anyone by that name either. what did he teach?
12:29 * asciilifeform looks in their www. apparently -- electronics
12:30 asciilifeform ( for foot prosthetics? )
12:30 phf yeah, like "real" electronics, discrete signal analysis that kind of stuff
12:31 asciilifeform phf: worked in his group ?
12:34 phf nah, i picked up an old conference proceedings at a bookstore in portland out of all the places, "symbolic computation, applications to scientific computing". there's a paper there on non-linear control systems package for macsyma. i decided to check if the code's been ever published (as if!), and realized that the prof. u
12:34 phf nder whose supervision it was done is this blankenship guy and that he taught at umd
12:34 asciilifeform a
12:35 phf i took the classes that he taught, but with different professors. maybe different time frame (e.g. the paper is from 1988, even though he still seems to be active), or just randomly chose somebody else
12:36 * asciilifeform defo not encountered
12:38 phf guy's been doing real engineering research since forever, all his related news are "TRX Systems Receives Tibbets Award for Excellence: Operated by women who are ECE alumni ..." "Alumnus Profile: Pratik Gupta" "Beneficiaries include two Ph.D. fellowships in robotics, the Center for Minorities in Science and Engineering, a r
12:38 phf obotics capstone course, the Black Engineers Society and the Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers."
12:39 asciilifeform aa lol these. prolly all of'em nao with these.
12:39 asciilifeform (or nomoar moolah)
12:40 phf meanwhile prof's papers: "richard chen" "kevin wagner"
12:41 phf i wonder if richard chen is a member of black engineers society or the society of professional hispanic engineers?
12:43 asciilifeform laff, but in principle could be. afaik they dun check for proper colour
12:44 phf Kevin Wagner,
12:44 phf United States Naval Research Laboratory. most recent papers coauthored with Miloš Doroslovački
12:44 * asciilifeform meanwhile set up ffa-style build with the fltk ada thing's helloworld, aalmost worx but linker barfs at very end, 'cannot find -lfltk'
12:49 phf https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37276948400 richard chen, ee ph.d. from umd in 2000. yeah sounds about right, the tail end of umd putting out talent
12:50 phf forget fltk, i'm uncovering white supremacism in big science here
12:50 asciilifeform lolyes
12:51 asciilifeform 'He is currently with the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. His research interests include stochastic control, Markov processes, and multifunction radar' << 'character: aryan!'(tm)(r)
~ 1 hours 55 minutes ~
14:46 awt billymg: indeed I missed cr crypto link. thx.
~ 1 hours 15 minutes ~
16:02 * asciilifeform meanwhile discovers that fltk on dulap-gentoo ~not~ statically linked, even with USE="static-libs static"
16:03 asciilifeform as seen here.
~ 2 hours 2 minutes ~
18:05 crtdaydreams In more ftx lulz, claims of being 'hacked'
18:05 crtdaydreams hmmmmm
18:06 crtdaydreams they're not even trying are they?
18:07 asciilifeform crtdaydreams: see also.
18:07 dulapbot Logged on 2022-11-08 14:21:22 asciilifeform: on the rare occasions when > n, for some n, folx show up to demand actual btc rather than yellow printolade -- 'ohnoez, we got hacked' etc
18:08 crtdaydreams ^^^^
18:09 crtdaydreams precisely what was eluding to
18:10 shinohai Yeah been watching that unfold in realtime crtdaydream, lulzy
18:11 crtdaydreams ah yis "we filed for ch. 11, but we actually had the btc but we got hacked, yes in that order, no we don't have any btc we can give you"
18:11 asciilifeform recall original gox. precisely same scheme
18:12 asciilifeform 'hacked' == 'sumbody called the fractionalreserve bluff, so wainot steal errything, wai should the morons get even % of deposits'
18:15 crtdaydreams oughta hook up a hydroelectric to buterins right now
18:22 crtdaydreams glows hard
~ 3 hours 55 minutes ~
22:17 * asciilifeform finally realized that fltk author's 'statically linked' claim is bogus, thing still expects dynamic x11, xft, etc. may be possible to cheat w/ e.g. dlopen tho.
22:18 asciilifeform afaik static linkage of x11 in such a way as to bake trb-style portable musltronic bin -- still unsolved.
22:18 asciilifeform phf signpost et al ^
22:20 * asciilifeform wonders how authors of popular linux warezes (e.g. 'eagle') did it
22:20 dulapbot (asciilifeform) 2020-08-08 asciilifeform: of item i personally used in depth -- 'eagle' cad.
