artifexd | I remain satisfied with my bet. No regrets yet. | [00:16] |
pete_dushenski | definitely a few days worth of exploring to do here | [00:16] |
pete_dushenski | jurmala (not your mama) is just 20km west and is the wealthy beach resort/bedroom community for riga, also well worth a visit | [00:17] |
pete_dushenski | there's some of the most interesting residential architecture i've seen anywhere there | [00:17] |

artifexd | I don't want anybody to feel bad. If I lose the 2btc it is not going to come close to affecting my net worth at all. As tat says, the risk/reward seems about right. | [00:32] |
asciilifeform | if nsa were girl... 'suite a' would be - the whole orchestra. or not even sure what. | [00:33] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform if nsa were a girl, it wouldn't be asking for nudies, nor for a fuck, nor for a blowjob during superball, in the parking lot. | [00:34] |

asciilifeform | btc atm... 'Cash in and cash out' << clearly funded by u.s. mint, where they'd like to learn what the state of the art in fooling automated benjamin testers is. | [01:38] |
TheNewDeal | please explain | [01:39] |
asciilifeform | TheNewDeal: machine, in theory, pisses out btc when you insert usd ? | [01:39] |
asciilifeform | TheNewDeal: hooligan inserts counterfeit usd, walks away with btc. | [01:40] |
TheNewDeal | so the idea is to try and forge a benjamin and get a real currency in return? | [01:40] |
TheNewDeal | gotcha | [01:40] |
TheNewDeal | Although I think if you could produce that quality of a bill, you most likely wouldn't have a problem giving it out to others (non btc atm owners) | [01:41] |
jurov | do i see right the camera on top of that bitcoin-teller-machine ? | [01:41] |
asciilifeform | jurov: there's traditionally a camera on u.s. atms. | [01:41] |
jurov | til | [01:41] |
asciilifeform | jurov: this is why scammers, thieves, etc. put on mask. | [01:41] |
asciilifeform | TheNewDeal: the bar is considerably lower for fooling a machine. (until recently, the readers in american vending machines did not even contain colour cameras.) | [01:43] |
* | jMyles has quit (Max SendQ exceeded) | [01:44] |
asciilifeform | TheNewDeal: likewise, if you give a sham benjamin to a living person, he might cry out for help before you can run off. | [01:44] |
asciilifeform | with machine - owner finds out, possibly weeks or months later, when he himself is prosecuted | [01:44] |
jurov | well, the same was said to my fellow lamassu owner someone will put colored bills from burglared ATM in, etc. | [01:44] |
jurov | surprise, apparently it did not happen yet in half a year | [01:44] |
TheNewDeal | what was said jurov? | [01:45] |
asciilifeform | right now, btc atm, as i understand, is scarce enough - and likewise scarce are the counterfeiters - that they have not yet met in 'true love' match. | [01:45] |
jurov | TheNewDeal: they told him everyone will try to fool the machine | [01:46] |
asciilifeform | but picture if you were a counterfeiter - could you even wish for a better place to make use of the fakes ? | [01:46] |
jurov | well, i suppose they're fachidiots | [01:46] |
TheNewDeal | I'm still surprised that you say it's easier to fake a machine than a person | [01:46] |
TheNewDeal | would like to see more backup on this | [01:46] |
asciilifeform | TheNewDeal: let's suppose you have no idea how the machine works | [01:47] |
asciilifeform | (it is, in fact, a well-documented mechanism. but imagine.) | [01:47] |
TheNewDeal | this is true, I haven't looked into it | [01:47] |
asciilifeform | it is considerably safer to experiment on the machine than on your local bank teller or other live set of eyes. | [01:47] |
asciilifeform | machine will accept or reject, but is unlikely to be programmed to rat you out (false alarms, terrible pr) and even if it were - has only a scarce idea who 'you' are (wearing your robber's mask.) | [01:48] |
TheNewDeal | I would most definitely agree that | [01:48] |
asciilifeform | you can try 1,000 variants until works. | [01:48] |
asciilifeform | there was precedent, if i recall: a casino cheat in las vegas, knew exactly what a particular make of usd scanner wanted. | [01:49] |
asciilifeform | caught, as one expects, the old-fashioned way - spotted by guard. | [01:49] |
BingoBoingo | ATM requires fortress, news at 11 | [01:51] |
TheNewDeal | that seems risky | [01:51] |

* | Sebastan has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | [01:58] |

cazalla | gaming machines are used in au to launder hundreds of millions apparently | [02:04] |
asciilifeform | yes - it was: usd in, casino chips out. | [02:05] |
cazalla | i wonder if fakes get fed into the machines or if companies like aristocrat have great detection? | [02:05] |
asciilifeform | cazalla: read about how such cheats are normally caught. | [02:06] |
* | jMyles has quit (Excess Flood) | [02:06] |
* | devthedev (~devthedev@unaffiliated/devthedev) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [02:06] |
asciilifeform | cazalla: a casino is an example of a controlled environment. no one comes remotely near a machine - a door, hell, a toilet - without being filmed from several angles | [02:06] |
asciilifeform | and his path from the door, to machines, etc. and then out, and possibly to his car - all recorded. | [02:07] |
asciilifeform | likewise, with casino, cheat has two basic options - win a little, but have to return many times - or win gigantic barrels, but then intense scrutiny. | [02:08] |
cazalla | what they do here to clean the money is feed it in, have a couple spins, withdraw it from machine and it's deemed a win then | [02:08] |
cazalla | apparently it's like half the revenue from memory | [02:09] |
asciilifeform | unless i somehow misunderstand, btc atm that eats usd removes all of the element of risk from counterfeiting | [02:09] |
asciilifeform | which is one more reason why mircea_popescu's prediction from earlier (that the 'saecular authorities' will not molest those who plunder or destroy btc atms) is likely to come true. | [02:10] |
asciilifeform | the machines will be blamed for every faux benjamin that turns up, wherever. | [02:10] |
* | OX3 has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | [02:14] |
cazalla | what's to stop you buying a robocoin, print up some fakes and start draining the machine seeing you're not the one providing the bitcoins it dispenses? | [02:14] |
asciilifeform | wait - they actually franchise these ? | [02:15] |
asciilifeform | lol! | [02:15] |

jurov | cazalla afaik owner is responsible for cash management himself | [02:16] |
cazalla | well they provide the liquidity from exchanges compared to say a lamassu where the owner provides the coins and it can go empty | [02:16] |
jurov | they are not that foolhardy | [02:17] |
mircea_popescu | [02:17] | |
jurov | but do they exchange btc for cash? i doubt that, i think owner has to bring the cash to bank and wire them | [02:17] |

mircea_popescu | set transformer on high voltage, short idem. | [03:19] |

mircea_popescu | BingoBoingo: Oh, apparently the brain electricity stuff for sleep et al is being commercialized << well of course, everything's being commercialised, from cow piss (redbull) to an app to prove you're rich. dun really much matter if it works, as long as someone somewhere thought of it, it's available to buy. | [14:48] |
mircea_popescu | gotta keep teh economy out. | [14:48] |
mircea_popescu | i mean up | [14:48] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform: re: 100hz - i do lean towards the soviet hypothesis that at least a third of the sleep cycle is a vestigial waste of time. <<< why ? | [14:49] |
xmj | BingoBoingo: brain electricity sleep stuff is prone to commercial failure, see Zeo. | [14:49] |
mircea_popescu | to me all this "let's improve sleep" stuff reads a lot like "this cnc control code would be a lot better if we took out all sleep() references" | [14:49] |
xmj | BingoBoingo: you can *technically* exist on 2h of pure REM sleep a day. | [14:50] |
mircea_popescu | The20YearIRCloud: So shock therapy is old? << just about contemporaneous with electricity itself. | [14:50] |
xmj | I know people who have done so for long(er) stretches of times | [14:50] |
xmj | fluffypony: I got confused. aren't AES routines implemented by libcrypto? | [14:50] |
fluffypony | xmj: afair this is used in the PoW, so it uses openaes for speed | [14:52] |
xmj | PoW? | [14:52] |
mircea_popescu | fluffypony afaik lcompat just does a gettimeofday clal anyway | [14:53] |
mircea_popescu | xmj proof of work eh. | [14:53] |
xmj | gotcha | [14:53] |
fluffypony | mircea_popescu: yes exactly | [14:53] |
fluffypony | lcompat seems to be working fine | [14:53] |
xmj | fluffypony: thing being, iff it uses AES AND iff AES needs to be fast, you'll want to look into crypto(4) and aesni(4) | [14:53] |
fluffypony | but going to actually rip this out and rewrite it to use gettimeofday on bsd | [14:53] |
mircea_popescu | i wouldn't expect any problems. in fact it's probably better reviewed code than w/e it's been replaced with anyway. | [14:53] |
* | xmj still waits for OpenSSL to be replaced with LibreSSL on FreeBSD | [14:54] |
mircea_popescu | other than proper cryptography for all foss, as discussed coupla days re gentoo overlays etc, i would fucking love for all lines of code to come with a counter. | [14:55] |
mircea_popescu | "how many times this was read. increment by hand" | [14:55] |
mircea_popescu | as a v0.1. then for v0.2 of this, have an actual crypto signed procedure where everyone who reads a line of code signs and it's wot-abble this. | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu | that's what github'd be doing, if it weren't wasting its time with imbecile females vying for attention the only way imbecile females know how. | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu | anyone want to make a fork of git and implement all this ? | [14:58] |
RagnarDanneskjol | yes | [15:09] |
xmj | mircea_popescu: do feel free to put your money where your mouth is. | [15:11] |
xmj | i'm sure you'll find lots of people who love paying for this | [15:11] |
mircea_popescu | xmj what exactly makes you think my money isn't where my mouth is, nooblet ? | [15:12] |
xmj | oh here we go again | [15:13] |
xmj | /ignore -replies mircea_popescu | [15:13] |

RagnarDanneskjol | he is going to deliver way ahead of schedule I believe | [15:15] |
chetty | mircea_popescu, said there should be a gribble npc ... | [15:16] |
mircea_popescu | o, in the monthly report ? | [15:16] |

nubbins` | mircea_popescu the climate made us this way | [16:22] |
mircea_popescu | no wonder all the eskimos are gone with only some scroungy inuit left | [16:22] |
mircea_popescu | YOU FUCKEM ATE THEM DIDNT YOU | [16:22] |
nubbins` | it's only with the advent of higher temperatures that we've mellowed. 10 years ago i woulda had the guy surgically attached to the kitchen counter | [16:22] |
nubbins` | heh | [16:23] |
mircea_popescu | cazalla lol speaking tours. this is roughly the equivalent of the plague, don't envy a man his misery. | [16:23] |
nubbins` | besides, the aboriginal people in this province are generally innu; you'd have to go a lot farther for inuit | [16:23] |
mircea_popescu | you mean Two Dogs isn't originally populated by dogs ? | [16:24] |

mircea_popescu | it isn't. you're saying it's "a waste of time", a spandrel merely means "not directly resulting from selection" | [17:11] |
mircea_popescu | these aren't the same strength. | [17:12] |
asciilifeform | aha | [17:12] |
mircea_popescu | take the case of the heart. | [17:12] |
asciilifeform | perhaps spandrel is wrong word. | [17:12] |
mircea_popescu | the heart is a well designed pump, that works very well in its own engineering envelope. | [17:12] |
mircea_popescu | people who use it outside of that envelope, such as for instance habitual stimulant abusers, stock brokers and other such "high stress" occupations usually die of heart failure. | [17:12] |
mircea_popescu | the reason for this is that the heart can't do too many regime change cycles a day | [17:13] |
mircea_popescu | now, having a period of time where it can relax and clean up may be exactly what it needs. even if this is enforced by cnc paralysis rather than another venue | [17:13] |
asciilifeform | sure. | [17:14] |
mircea_popescu | the human body being a final case of "the protocol is the code". it works like we've discussed, as this insane collection of things repaired by malfunction in unassociated things | [17:14] |
asciilifeform | hence stages 3, 4. | [17:14] |
mircea_popescu | there were some renaissance mechanical models for this. | [17:14] |
thestringpuller | ;;later tell BingoBoingo good luck my friend | [17:14] |
gribble | The operation succeeded. | [17:14] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform note that for me to disprove your stance, all i need is an example of possible failure, which i've satisfied. for you to support your stance giving a counterexample is not enough. | [17:14] |
asciilifeform | hypothesis here is that stages 1 and 2 are 'runway' | [17:15] |
mircea_popescu | i read the hypothesis here as "stages 1 and 2 can be safely removed" | [17:15] |
asciilifeform | test would be - some means of reliably rocketing through them straight to 3 on demand. | [17:15] |
asciilifeform | (and staying in 3+4 without the normal gaps of 1,2) | [17:16] |
mircea_popescu | only problem with that test is you won't be able to distinguish the source of any side effects - from the rocketing or from the rocket. | [17:16] |
asciilifeform | certainly. | [17:16] |
thestringpuller | walking into bitcoin-assets becomes more like walking into a random lecutre hall at a good university... | [17:16] |
mircea_popescu | but anyway. i don't expect improvement here. | [17:16] |
thestringpuller | and this is just "normal" conversation | [17:16] |
* | mircea_popescu waves at thestringpuller | [17:16] |
asciilifeform | just as the example you gave, of stimulant abusers - most of the documented medical sequelae, afaik, are from extreme sleep deprivation... | [17:17] |
mircea_popescu | well, they removed 1 and 2 did they not. | [17:17] |
* | thestringpuller salutes mircea_popescu and asciilifeform *good day sirs* | [17:17] |
asciilifeform | and 3, 4, and they won't even lie down | [17:17] |
asciilifeform | yes. | [17:17] |
mircea_popescu | rocket and rocketing again :) | [17:17] |
mircea_popescu | but at this point, we suddenly face the danger of falling into nominalism. consider a pill that zaps 1&2 so you can 3-4 only, withj the caveat that to be used safe over a century, you have to lie down for two to three hours each day and relax independently of sleep. | [17:18] |
* | uglux has quit (Quit: Verlassend) | [17:18] |
mircea_popescu | well... so what does the pill do again ? allows you to rename things ? i can do that w/o pills :D | [17:19] |
asciilifeform | well, for one thing you could 'sleep' when not palpably weary | [17:19] |
mircea_popescu | i can do that now. | [17:19] |
asciilifeform | like housecat | [17:19] |
asciilifeform | (some people already know how to do this, yes.) | [17:19] |
mircea_popescu | theres really nothing to know, you just... lie down and sleep | [17:19] |
