asciilifeform ben_vulpes: apparently fella wanted to reimplement v in gnumake (as i once considered doing) but made some peculiar design decisions along the way [00:00]
asciilifeform (no, you don't ~have~ to split the patches into patchons, to do this) [00:01]
asciilifeform also it appears that his version requires you to manually munge it every time a new patch is added [00:01]

asciilifeform which is how i ended up ~not~ doing it in gnumake [00:02]
polarbeard that's right, I shouldn't have released it this early anyway [00:02]
polarbeard just wanted to get some love [00:02]
asciilifeform but overall, dependency on ~more~ unix tools is a bad thing, and dependency on ~more complicated~ and less-likely-to-be-reimplemented-by-wot-folk-soon tools, likewise [00:03]
asciilifeform polarbeard: why not try your hand at, say, a tx debugger? sorely needed item [00:03]
polarbeard what do you want from a tx debugger [00:04]
polarbeard I wanted to instrumentalize trb a bit, btw [00:04]
polarbeard a tx debugger sort-of-fits in my plans [00:04]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1382094 << you deeply misunderstand what "investor grade" means in this context. the point is that he is RARE. you understand this ? the fundamental property of capital control in any functioning society without exception possible is that it must be concentrated. [00:35]
assbot Logged on 23-01-2016 02:17:41; asciilifeform: and by no automagic means 'investor-grade' humanoid. [00:35]
mircea_popescu so, if that guy fucks up, as no doubt he will, his distress is merely amusing from a societal pov. and perhaps instructive., but mostly amusing. [00:35]
mircea_popescu and "you only have yourself to blame". [00:35]
mircea_popescu when plebs "own stock", the problem becomes unsolvable, because the ready answer is, "i can't blame myself, for i'm nothing - so i'll just blame the gods" [00:35]

asciilifeform su existed. [00:48]
asciilifeform for the privatizatory to carve up [00:48]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform prison term didn't dislodge. people came back to their own flats. [00:48]
mircea_popescu prison term FOR WHOLE FAMILY [00:48]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not if 'sentenced to 100th km' [00:48]
mircea_popescu even those got rescinded. [00:48]
asciilifeform on occasion, yes [00:49]
mircea_popescu right. but generally fambly kept the place, for mere conviction. it had to be political-wrathful to dislodge. [00:49]
mircea_popescu anyway - the exact same sort of people sifted to the top in the su as do anywhere else all the time. which is why yeltsin didn't survive and putin did. [00:49]
asciilifeform history is not, fortunately or otherwise, an endless loop of the same thing [00:51]
mircea_popescu pfff. [00:51]
mircea_popescu history is precisely an endless loop of the same thing. also, it has to be. [00:51]
asciilifeform it is the job of the inventor to not permit the endless loop. [00:52]
asciilifeform otherwise, yes, 5000 yrs of egypt. [00:52]
mircea_popescu the inventor is in this matter very closely related to the fashion designer. [00:52]
mircea_popescu they work hard at lipsticking the pig. [00:52]
mircea_popescu fortunately or otherwise, few live the millenia required for most of it to wear off. [00:53]
asciilifeform wake me up from my grave when, e.g., the gunpowder fashion, dies down. [00:53]
mircea_popescu also you'll be very hard pressed to argue that 5000 years of egypt were less than 5000 years hence. [00:53]
mircea_popescu (if for instance your aim is "population", mind that they started on a very narrow base. hard to beat.) [00:54]
mod6 danielpbarron: thx for the heads up [00:54]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the egypt point is in re: the fact that the 3000th yr was quite like the 4000th and entirely possibly indistinguishable even to pro archaeologist [00:55]
asciilifeform perhaps a better example would've been the 10,000 yrs of australian abo. [00:55]
mircea_popescu you flatter yourself if you imagine there's more difference here than there, to an archeologist so distant in the future. [00:55]
mircea_popescu their shit keeps better than your shit does. [00:55]
asciilifeform no doubt. [00:55]
asciilifeform and the fossilized skeletons of the jurassic keep better still. [00:56]
mircea_popescu besides, the discussion in civilisational terms is besides the point. i guarantee that there was an alf in upper egypt bemoaning the vagaries of fate in the following exact terms : [00:56]
mircea_popescu "Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them ?" [00:57]
* NewLiberty has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [00:59]
asciilifeform quite possibly. [01:00]
asciilifeform but meanwhile somebody wiped arse with the papyrus. [01:00]
asciilifeform so we're stuck guessing. [01:00]
mircea_popescu so what did not repeat ? the shape of the woman's pants ? [01:00]
mircea_popescu who cares, it's the same ass. [01:01]
asciilifeform telegraphy ? [01:01]
mircea_popescu telegraphy is not a thing. [01:02]
trinque they used to have feet. so what? [01:02]
asciilifeform i know full well that mircea_popescu can arbitrarily redefine 'a thing' for there to be none. [01:02]
mircea_popescu do you miss the things that'll be discovered after you die, perhaps ? nobody cares. you happen to have seen telegraph. they saw the complex calculation of how to pi, and counted them very civilised for it. big whoop. [01:03]
trinque it's simply staring at the tool and thinking of it in isolation, rather than inside the human process in which it is used [01:03]
asciilifeform i can boot up fortran and set 1 to equal 2 also. [01:03]
* terminal has quit (Quit: Page closed) [01:03]
asciilifeform and i suppose 'human processes' didn't change a lick since pharaonic egypt. aha, right. [01:04]
mircea_popescu quite. [01:04]
mircea_popescu there's exactly nothing to change. what'd you change ? [01:04]
mircea_popescu you still value what you lost more than what you gain by that loss. you still need stimuli to grow geometrically for subjective sensation to progress arithmetically. [01:05]

mircea_popescu i don't mind. [01:06]
mircea_popescu i expect change like you expect nonsense. it comes out of young / silly people. [01:06]
asciilifeform and asteroids. [01:07]
mircea_popescu hardly. [01:07]
mircea_popescu you ever read that thing on the latin language ? [01:07]
asciilifeform 'the 80th latin' or what was it [01:08]
asciilifeform on trilema ? [01:08]
mircea_popescu yeah that. [01:08]
asciilifeform aha [01:08]
asciilifeform spiffy [01:08]
mircea_popescu so asteroid. what sort of novelty is that ? [01:08]
mircea_popescu the only news in the world is the history you didn't know and the measurements you took incorrectly. [01:09]
mircea_popescu not like photons went you know what ? this planck constant's boring, let's get a new one. [01:09]
asciilifeform i suppose if asteroid cleaned everybody's clock but the hydrothermal vent microbes, mircea_popescu would (from his dirigible!) still say, 'nothing novel, planet still crawling with whatevers, snore' [01:10]
mircea_popescu pretty much. [01:10]
asciilifeform i cannot say to this, but only take off my hat. [01:10]
asciilifeform *say anything [01:10]
mircea_popescu your earlier mistake was to suppose it's UP TO THEM. [01:10]
mircea_popescu it isn't up to them. some people dont' care. some do. they can't change this anymore than you can be a woman. [01:11]
asciilifeform wai wut? up to whom ? [01:11]
mircea_popescu now, it's true that miseducation can bring one up to think himself the other kind, whichg CAN be remedied. [01:11]
mircea_popescu but this is not unlike retarded mother bringing boy up in skirts. [01:11]

mircea_popescu how would you know this ? [01:13]
trinque mircea_popescu │ eventually, if nothing was cut off, duck in the yard can no longer resist the call of ducks in the sky and takes off. << I'm going to go ahead and carve this one into the inside of my skull. [01:14]
asciilifeform in approx same way and to same degree as i know that electron exists. [01:14]
asciilifeform (no, i did not see one with naked eye.) [01:14]
mircea_popescu so what did you see to make this equivalence stick ? [01:14]
mircea_popescu for instance, charge of electron can be measured even from white noise of antenna. [01:15]
asciilifeform aha [01:15]
mircea_popescu and from molar mass / speed of reaction [01:15]
asciilifeform and the sheer mega-virility of pashtun can be likewise measured in 1,001 ways. [01:15]
mircea_popescu and from a number of other things. [01:15]
mircea_popescu but that's not your thesis. [01:15]
asciilifeform thesis is that 'the spartan speaks with his sword', untempered, results in goatfuckistan. [01:16]
mircea_popescu but no. your thesis is that "can only result in" goatfuckistan. [01:16]
asciilifeform as amply confirmed experimentally as anything i'd care to think of. [01:16]
mircea_popescu and this has nothing to stand on. [01:16]
mircea_popescu such as actual sparta ? [01:16]
asciilifeform has same to stand on as 'communism results in misery' etc [01:16]
asciilifeform the totality of the record. [01:16]
mircea_popescu not so. [01:16]
* DreadKnight (~DreadKnig@unaffiliated/dreadknight) has joined #bitcoin-assets [01:17]
mircea_popescu there's another great difference, which may be easier to ford. socialism - sacrifice now for later paradise. this - is enjoyable. now. so much so i have not the least care if paradise or no paradise, or as the old man of the mountain said to allah, [01:18]
asciilifeform wake me up when the he-men create so much as a 'aa' battery. [01:18]
mircea_popescu "you can keep your virgins" [01:18]
mircea_popescu "i already ate". [01:18]
asciilifeform this being said, i wouldn't mind visiting limonov's (or mircea_popescu's for that matter) planet where folks practice bare-handed head-chopping from sunrise to noon, and measure neutron cross-sections, compose symphonies, after dinner [01:20]
asciilifeform followed by a good ol'fashioned chess-boxing match on weekend. [01:20]
asciilifeform i might get eaten as a snack on said planet, but it'd be almost worth it [01:21]

asciilifeform my father had a world-class library, left it behind, today cannot stand the idea of amassing any such thing [01:25]
trinque why is the egyptian man's desire for food, a place to shit, and women to fuck different from mine? and if it isn't, whence this idea that my motivations are manifold (and advanced!), his few? [01:25]
* trinque brb [01:25]
asciilifeform i suspect that i will go the same [01:25]
asciilifeform the b00kz become associated with thing-that-anchors-you, i suspect [01:25]
mircea_popescu trinque well, an argument can be brought that yours are a lot more cleaved. like, you know, you can separately desire to lay with the woman as in cuddle, to lay with the woman as in fuck her brains out, to lay with the woman as to impregnate her and so on. whereas poor simple he, just lay with the woman. [01:26]
mircea_popescu now, whether a natural tongue or one surgically bifurcated is a change worth the mention... well... i suppose we must leave this up to the inventor. [01:26]
mircea_popescu lest the academic has to publish to justify his high station, an' the inventor must invent, hence so many new inventions all the time. [01:27]
asciilifeform i'd put the bifurcation as the whole of the man-monkey divide [01:27]
mircea_popescu you would. [01:27]
asciilifeform sure as hell, monkey has one fuck mode [01:27]
mircea_popescu this doesn't explain why young men are so undistinguishable from monkeys. [01:27]

mircea_popescu "not along - across!" [01:27]
asciilifeform l0lz! [01:27]
mircea_popescu anyway. the difference between man and monkey is that man realises it's not actually worth the hassle. [01:28]
mircea_popescu ie, contemplation, not invention. [01:28]
mircea_popescu or to put it in more familiar terms, you know why the german goes bald arouind the corona, and the romanian arfound the forehead ? [01:30]
asciilifeform speaking of 'indistinguishable from monkeys', i observed that approx 1 train car in 5 has a loud, rambling nutter in it [01:30]
asciilifeform or at least a black fella singing loudly along to his headphones, without a care [01:31]
asciilifeform in a car otherwise full of dour folk making angry eyes [01:31]
asciilifeform so why the german goes bald ... ? [01:31]
mircea_popescu it's a visual joke. imagine me saying "hmm, i wonder how best to do this" whille scratching the top of my head [01:32]
asciilifeform ah! [01:32]
mircea_popescu and then "omfg what have i done" slapping forehead [01:32]
mircea_popescu contemplation. that's the divide. reflexivity. once the hardware started doing recursion, it split. [01:33]
mircea_popescu monkey-human divide cybernetically equivalent to non-recursive / recursive systems. [01:33]
asciilifeform aha, as pictured in hofstadter and minsky [01:33]
mircea_popescu mebbe ? i dun recall [01:33]
asciilifeform (the former wrote a whole mega-l0ltron re: same, 'i am a strange loop') [01:33]
asciilifeform and i suppose the egyptians must have known this [01:34]
asciilifeform or we'd have a... new idea [01:34]
mircea_popescu i'm sure we also have a new language! [01:35]
mircea_popescu such novel! [01:35]
mircea_popescu this conception of "novelty" is not so dissimilar to creationist's conception of darwinism. "he said my auntie's a dog!" [01:35]
asciilifeform i am picturing, one day measured value of plank's constant shifts, mircea_popescu goes back to sleep, says 'this shift was implicit all along, could not otherwise happen.' and will sleep until the very integers get up and walk around. [01:36]
asciilifeform this is not curable. [01:36]
mircea_popescu catch me doing that first, wouldja ? [01:36]
mircea_popescu so far the score's about a trillion to 0 the other way. [01:36]
asciilifeform aha, which is why lulzy [01:36]

mircea_popescu (the problem, in the simplest terms, is that for h to be constant energy and spacetime must stay coupled. as such, it's impossible to have an original singularity (aka the big bang) seeing how everything solves neatly for a radius of 0, yielding a pretty field of 0's and a pile of nondetermined constants. conversely : in planck terms, the age of the universe is about 10^61, its radius about 10^61 and its energy about 1 [01:55]
mircea_popescu 0^61, which is one hell of a coincidence that it should allign so right now! (same results can be expressed looking at the schwarzschild radius, too). ) [01:55]

mircea_popescu well, at least sanely tabulated. [02:25]
mircea_popescu in any case, then you could start it with -logs=emcb for all 4, or otherwise whatever combo thereof. [02:26]

polarbeard roger [02:26]
polarbeard no logrotate love? [02:26]
mircea_popescu or that. anything. [02:26]
mircea_popescu as it stands right now it's made by sheepherds. [02:27]
polarbeard it's a miracle it works [02:27]
mircea_popescu ah, and also - fucking timestamps on loglines omfg. [02:31]
mircea_popescu who did that! [02:31]
mircea_popescu "here's a logline. it's from fuck you o'clock. you're welcome." [02:31]
ben_vulpes fuck you o'clock lol [02:32]
ben_vulpes didn't phf do something with timestamps? [02:32]
polarbeard haha, 'just derive it from block height man' [02:32]
mircea_popescu it doesn't even dump that, which would be insane but at least it'd be insane. [02:33]
ben_vulpes polarbeard: good idea except that syncing reference implementations to the best of my knowledge don't know the current blockheight [02:33]
polarbeard /ironic off :) [02:34]
polarbeard I'd be happy with unix_time space hex_message sent_or_received_bit [02:35]
ben_vulpes the log history that you're missing is that blockheight is the only non usg-shared time. [02:35]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes it could always curl deedbot.org for the latest. [02:35]
ben_vulpes yes let's compile libcurl into the reference implementation [02:36]

mircea_popescu #noderps #nodeps #nodes [02:37]
ben_vulpes #definitelynofuckinnode [02:38]
mircea_popescu that there's 6 blocks an hour and 24 hours in 24 hours ? [02:38]
ben_vulpes so one'd need ~ 1/144th of nethash? [02:38]
mircea_popescu well, yes, if one's tolerant with the variance [02:38]
ben_vulpes sure [02:39]

mircea_popescu still, it comes to about 2MW's worth, more or less. [02:40]
polarbeard my_share_rate = hash rate / 2^32 [02:40]
mircea_popescu polarbeard so basically myhash/nethash * 144. [02:41]
ben_vulpes someone missed dimensional analysis in school? [02:41]

mircea_popescu amusingly, the proper measure for nethash actually is PW or somesuch. [02:44]
ben_vulpes petawatts? [02:44]
mircea_popescu by the time it gets to 50%+1 all these approximations will be a lot less approximative [02:44]
mircea_popescu 50 TW, something like that. [02:45]
mircea_popescu 50 PW* [02:45]
ben_vulpes that has a lot of assumptions on mining chip efficiency boss [02:46]

mircea_popescu Azelphur i c. [11:10]
Azelphur started to get really annoyed when I had the choice of taking money out of my cold wallet or taking a loan from my parents to make rent over christmas - not cool :/ [11:11]
asciilifeform so mircea_popescu doesn't have an argument against gosplan ?! other than not liking the colour & shape on purely aesthetic grounds? [11:11]
mircea_popescu the argument against gosplan is exactly the argument against "hi guise i am ceo". [11:12]
mircea_popescu "who the fuck are you ?" [11:12]
Azelphur I feel bad -10ing him though, I like to work things out with people and it just sucks that he's not meeting his obligations or even being reasonable really [11:12]
mircea_popescu which is why all the red square nuclear bomb displays and etc. obligate pompousness. [11:12]
asciilifeform lucky we are that 'hi guise im ceo' has no army and no navy. [11:12]
mircea_popescu it's a forced mistake. [11:12]
mircea_popescu quite. [11:12]
asciilifeform (except when he does, e.g., obamitler) [11:13]

asciilifeform only because the beast is immunocompromised [11:13]
mircea_popescu mno. [11:13]
mircea_popescu i am immune to it, it depends on me. this creates a certain situation of power in the field. [11:14]
asciilifeform depends how ? [11:14]
mircea_popescu anyway, in the expression of the castrated subhumans that nevertheless are intelligent enough to notice the problem, this is usually called the "knowledge problem", ie poor state can't acquire and process enough information to make a reasonable gosplan. [11:14]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, this is a flattering if incorrect representation. like saying "unfortunately whale did not have enough evolution mojo to grow wings". yeasure. [11:15]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i have no idea how to formulate this better than to refer you to the (oft mentioned, by me) worms dispute. [11:15]
mircea_popescu king can not invest by staff. he doesn't have a staff to give. [11:16]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: modern usg is going for 'eastern despot' caesaropapism. [11:20]
mircea_popescu which is why they keep inventing academic honors for the emperor. they work admirably, don't they. [11:21]
asciilifeform hey it worked for the 5000yr egyptianreich! [11:21]
mircea_popescu not so. [11:21]
mircea_popescu your idea that "5000 yr egyptianreich" is not unlike a 1900s victorian idea that "5000 yr chinareich". wut ? [11:22]
mircea_popescu they had more dynasties than americans had sexual partners. [11:22]
asciilifeform point^ [11:22]
mircea_popescu ironically, the people who could be caesar ie emperor and pontifex max uniformly do not wish to be, so much so it's almost a heuristic. [11:24]
mircea_popescu and they do not wish to be not because they somehow give a shit about brutus and brutish jealousies. [11:24]

punkman "In April 2008 they told Congress that SawStop's braking system is: dangerous because it requires the user to come in contact with the blade before activating; unproven, particularly in terms of durability; prone to false trips caused by commonly available wet and green wood; potentially vulnerable to latent damage that cannot be inspected and may cause a hazard; costly to the user because once [17:36]
punkman activated, saw blade and cartridge must be replaced; and significantly more expensive, ranging from a minimum of 25 percent and ranging upwards depending on saw type" [17:36]
punkman lulzy [17:36]
punkman "The PTI objects to the licensing necessary due to the "more than 50 patents" related to SawStop's braking system; such costs "would destroy the market for the cheapest, most popular saws, adding $100 or more to the price of consumer models that typically sell for less than $200." In response, their members developed "new plastic guards to shield table saw users from the dangers of a spinning [17:37]
punkman blade". PTI says "its member companies have received no reports of injuries on [the 750,000] table saws with the new guard design."" [17:37]

BingoBoingo "The 14-page list of demands at Oberlin was detailed and contained many controversial items. Among other things, it demanded the immediate firing of some Oberlin employees, the immediate tenuring of some faculty members, specific curricular changes, a review and possible revision of the grading system (to be overseen by students), the creation of "safe spaces" for black students in at least three buildings on campus, the creation [19:08]

mod6 The hang up here is that, it basically can't be mirrored in the same place as the rest of the patches; simply because when one sync's up against a mirror your changes will break the rest of the tree. [21:43]

asciilifeform and that it is only quasi-works for a few very specific use cases [23:29]
asciilifeform perhaps it was once a thing, i cannot say [23:29]
mod6 however, if he and I work together, we could possibly get some patches in place that would check to see what the local environment is and if __BSD__, then apply, otherwise, do not. [23:29]

asciilifeform pretty much every single 'openbsdism' i've so far run into screams braindamage [23:30]
mircea_popescu mod6 so basically we can't use our convenient makefiles to build the pressed source ; openbsd people gotta finagle their own build chain to get the same source to compile and link ? [23:30]
asciilifeform (~different~ braindamage than in linux, and this is appealing to some people) [23:30]
mod6 yes. [23:30]
mircea_popescu well yeah, seems this will have to be separately maintained. [23:30]
asciilifeform just like the nintendo port. [23:31]
mircea_popescu i suspect it'd be a horrid mistake to try and merge the notion of a press and the notion of a makefile. [23:31]
* assbot gives voice to pete_dushenski [23:31]
mod6 and further, the changes that we wanted to make with V (where we mechanically check to see the patch was applied correctly by checking the hashes) also will not work on bsd unless a bunch more alterations are made, but this is a side issue. [23:31]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: correct, they are entirely different processes with just enough superficially in common to lead n00bz to conceptual perdition [23:31]

mircea_popescu oh ffs. [23:32]
ben_vulpes yeah, i ran into this. [23:33]
ben_vulpes needs -q flags. [23:33]

BingoBoingo (~different~ braindamage than in linux, and this is appealing to some people) << This is pretty much its appeal to me. I have modest needs as far as necessary hardware and necessary software go. [23:34]
mod6 so a minor annoyance there. but alas. [23:34]
* adlai notes that the three laws are phrased as guidelines for builders, rather than code for execution [23:35]
BingoBoingo Also Openbsd base system is complete enough to make internet on mars [23:35]
adlai ... wrong chanl (or maybe not?) [23:35]
mod6 <+mircea_popescu> mod6 so basically we can't use our convenient makefiles to build the pressed source ; openbsd people gotta finagle their own build chain to get the same source to compile and link ? << and further more, they'll never have the same build process like we want. [23:35]
mod6 because they can not use buildroot... at least, I don't *think* they can, easily at lesat. they could turn on Linux Binary Comapt mode and perhaps some other kernel tweeks. would need to be looked a.t. [23:36]
mircea_popescu mod6 thinking about this, the problem slowly becomes that not only does bitcoin gravitate towards bitcoinos, but it puts some serious problems to any attempt at wide support. [23:36]
mod6 for sure. our best bet, is bitcoinos. [23:37]

danielpbarron pete_dushenski, follow assbot's bitly link [23:38]
asciilifeform dusted off draft of something i had a while back, because mircea_popescu mentioned it and proclaimed that it isn't wholly retarded [23:38]
mircea_popescu which was this ? [23:38]
asciilifeform tinyscheme welded onto trb [23:38]
asciilifeform draft name on my disk was.. shiva [23:39]
mircea_popescu ah, right. [23:39]
mircea_popescu anyway, for the first time so far it occurs to me we might be setting ourselves up for failure here. because of this support / os issue. [23:39]
asciilifeform it will be a ~shell~ [23:39]
asciilifeform in trb. [23:39]
pete_dushenski my apologies for the linkspam interruption [23:39]
asciilifeform only switched on, with command line flag, if you are really ready to meet allah; [23:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform logically : a) you won't want to ssh into the node and do your bash there (providing it even has ssh). this means you'll be stuck using something else on top of bitcoin-os. [23:40]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is elementarily not so [23:40]
mircea_popescu obviously, as a general thing, people MIGHT consider running a bitcoin node on any box they run. [23:40]
mircea_popescu but if bitcoin can not be run there... well... [23:40]
asciilifeform the bare metal variant will expose shiva shell through one of the serial ports [23:40]
asciilifeform which can be attached to whatever you like, e.g., a unix box running sshd [23:41]
asciilifeform sort of what folks do with routers and factory robots today [23:41]
mircea_popescu hm [23:41]
mircea_popescu so then the model here is to have fundamentally speaking a pogo/arm-ish level bitcoind/os, that doesn't really natively build on anything without a laundry list of finicking ? [23:41]
asciilifeform builds ~on~ whatever the fuck you like [23:42]
asciilifeform rotor does this already [23:42]
mircea_popescu i mean software-on not hardware-on [23:42]
asciilifeform software-on. [23:42]
asciilifeform rotor will build on nintendo. [23:42]
mircea_popescu then what is the bsd problem ? [23:42]
asciilifeform building ~for~ [23:42]
mircea_popescu huh ? [23:42]
asciilifeform iirc nobody succeeded in building ~for~ it ? [23:42]
mircea_popescu so you bring up your *bsd box, run rotor on it, does it build or doesn't it. [23:43]
asciilifeform or hm, looks like userland caltrops prevent even v from running there [23:43]
mircea_popescu right. so no, rotor doesn't "do this already". [23:43]
asciilifeform aha [23:43]
asciilifeform to which i say that it is braindamaged to expect the thing to build on arbitrary crud os [23:43]
asciilifeform what, i also do a winblows toolchain now ? [23:44]
asciilifeform vms? [23:44]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform so if someone has a box that they're using, they can't run a bitcoin node there unless they run it under bitcoinos ? [23:44]
asciilifeform build the linux variant ? [23:44]
asciilifeform understand, if someone ~wants~ to maintain a nintendo port, let'em [23:44]
mircea_popescu "bitcoinos" is a symbol here. may mean linux, whatever the fuck it means. [23:45]
asciilifeform but 'runs for everybody on every kind of dead animal in a box' is a dead end goal [23:45]
mircea_popescu and so what, we're officially targetting "anything that's unix post bsd pre systemd" ? [23:45]
asciilifeform i dare say that expecting a vaguely linuxlike ~build environment~ is not unreasonable [23:45]
mircea_popescu and so then bsd support, like windows or crapple support, would be a bolt-on ? [23:46]
asciilifeform if somebody wants to maintain a parallel universe 'v' et al where the bsd flags make it go, i will take off my hat to them. [23:46]
asciilifeform aha. [23:46]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform well apparently phf was half-trying but no hats. [23:46]
mircea_popescu phf you seriously considering maintaining a bsd rotor thing ? [23:47]

mircea_popescu BingoBoingo yeah the part where your otherwise reasonable idea breaks down is where deedbot is not really a webservice [23:51]
mircea_popescu even if currently available on web endpoint as well. [23:51]
BingoBoingo Well, librarybot is still 18-36 months out. [23:53]
mircea_popescu anyway. i suppose this entire compatibility general issue will need more thinking about. [23:54]
* adlai is currently working on blockchain-databot or whatever's a better name [23:54]
mod6 yeah, very much so. a good conversation to have though, as our future roadmap depends on some early-on food for thought. [23:54]
adlai SaaS (spam, spam, blockchain, spam) [23:54]
mircea_popescu mod6 to my mind it's almost as if we bit a recursion girder over here. "v presses source". "ok how do i build it ?" "uh... i guess you need a v-make genesis and follow that for your os." "ok... how do i do that ?" "well... get v-make-make and..." [23:56]
mod6 i guess my thought is, if we wanna make bitcoinos - we will end up forking either SVR4 or BSD, and then getting married. [23:56]
adlai the general goals being - get the data in there, as cheaply as possible, without same standards as http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1490 and some reasonable method to random-access without having to reconstruct the entire turd [23:56]
assbot Loper OS » Practical Blockchain Telegraphy. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LY30Hl ) [23:56]
adlai s/out// blah [23:56]
mod6 so we may think of a different way of doing something like this, maybe it's not a full OS of sorts, maybe its a embedded deal. [23:56]
asciilifeform adlai: why not also suggest placing it on mars ? [23:56]
asciilifeform cheaper. [23:57]
mircea_popescu mod6 here's the problem with "Bitcoinos" : you will want it adapted for bitcoin needs, which necessarily means it won't be your tool of choice for doing almost anything else, which necessarily means maintaining it will be a pain in the ass. [23:57]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: trying to wiggle out from under this is misguided imho. [23:57]
asciilifeform it is a logical necessity. [23:57]
mircea_popescu im not making any calls here, just running the horse around the field. [23:57]
adlai asciilifeform: because large amounts of data are worth paying small amounts of btc to immortalize, today; and small amounts of data will always be worth paying large amounts of btc to immortalize - even tomorrow. [23:57]
asciilifeform just like missile guidance needs a particular kind of os [23:57]
asciilifeform that you won't play tetris on [23:57]
asciilifeform or even compile itself on. [23:57]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 86600 @ 0.000562 = 48.6692 BTC [+] {2} [23:58]
* adlai also got an upfront btc donation to do this so ~shrug~ [23:58]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform but this faces you with the unpleasant choice of whether to not play tetris or not run bitcoin on your homebox. [23:58]
asciilifeform i already have this choice with many other things [23:58]
mircea_popescu see, that';s thje bitch here : missile guidance has to be on missile and there only. there's no benefit from it running on jane's computor. [23:59]
asciilifeform e.g., i have a set of boxes for running winblowz virii on. [23:59]
asciilifeform that are not fit for any other purpose [23:59]
mircea_popescu nevertheless. [23:59]
asciilifeform and many folks keep similar winblowz box for games, etc [23:59]
adlai mircea_popescu: ever heard of 4th gen ATMs? (not the kind that gets skimmed) [23:59]
mircea_popescu there's no space in the future for windows. [23:59]
mircea_popescu so i'm not terribly interested in that line of thought. [23:59]
