mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2015#1044448 << "slightly" :D [00:00]
assbot Logged on 06-03-2015 21:27:52; asciilifeform: i might exaggerate slightly, but at any rate it won't be accomplished by a fella with a day job. [00:00]
danielpbarron http://danielpbarron.com/Avatar_X.txt "On why your comment was removed? Well, you decided to do a slight snide remark and at the same time promote another site. If you had just said: qntra is worth a look. they are more into articles and commentary though. Then you comment would be still there." [00:07]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1MdpbEF ) [00:07]
mircea_popescu wassat ? [00:07]
danielpbarron a private thing between me and a moderator of "THE Bitcoin Community on Google+ since 2012" [00:09]
mircea_popescu lol ok. [00:09]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: wallowing with the eagles again, eh ? [00:09]
decimation danielpbarron: someone uses google+ besides poettering? [00:09]
danielpbarron i was surprised too, decimation [00:09]
mircea_popescu there was a fetlife "btc" fetish group [00:10]
mircea_popescu dead since... i dunno, 2013ish [00:10]
danielpbarron i barely use the thing and i have 1/5 the "views" of Ethereum's page [00:10]
decimation I came upon a google+ stat awhile ago in the logs: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2015#987609 [00:11]
assbot Logged on 22-01-2015 04:54:20; decimation: lol http://www.businessinsider.com/google-active-users-2015-1 " In other words, 0.2-0.3% of all G+ profiles, about 4-6 million users, have made public posts in 2015. " [00:11]
mircea_popescu i thought it was pretty much dead, goiung the way of te yahoo briefcase or w/e [00:12]
decimation ;;calc 0.003*6000000 [00:12]
gribble 18000 [00:12]
asciilifeform counting supposed users is pure spamatronics anyway [00:12]
danielpbarron if it's dead it's because mods like the one i talked to "remove posts and comments all the time and every single day." [00:12]
decimation well, if the numbers above are in the right ballpark, google+ has the population of a county seat in rural kansas [00:14]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2015#1044628 << lol. ironically, it is! [00:15]
assbot Logged on 06-03-2015 23:26:21; kakobrekla: its anal rape half way only [00:15]
mircea_popescu decimation i think you're doing it wrong. ~5mn made posts, of a total > 10bn profiles ? [00:15]
decimation possibly, I read it the other way [00:16]

scoopbot New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/mpif-fmpif-february-2015-statement/ [00:16]
decimation yeah upon re-reading the article you are right [00:16]
mircea_popescu it just doesn't make sense for g+ to only have a few mn profiles for all the resoureces they poured into it. [00:17]
decimation that's around the population of arizona [00:17]
mircea_popescu more's the point, even that watsapp spam outfit had 100mn active. [00:17]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4000 @ 0.00040661 = 1.6264 BTC [-] [00:18]
decimation yeah but that's a slightly different case right? in the sense that whatsapp enabled cross-platform communications? [00:18]
* decimation has never used whatsapp nor ever plans to [00:19]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2818 @ 0.00041098 = 1.1581 BTC [+] [00:21]
mircea_popescu it's mostly a thirld world thing i gather. [00:21]
* asciilifeform is just barely aware of what it was/is, and doesn't think he knows anyone who has seen much less used it [00:22]
decimation but if they are simply piping sms from one network to another, than their 'user count' has the same significance as that which the bum who owns brooklyn bridge can claim [00:22]
mircea_popescu it's an app. [00:23]
mircea_popescu their user count has as much significance as princess leia's ex boyfriend count. [00:23]
mircea_popescu not like anyone's marrying her anyway. [00:23]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2015#1044667 << arm is not actually "purpose built silicone". [00:23]
assbot Logged on 06-03-2015 23:47:26; asciilifeform: if you're selling it, having understood the above line of reasoning and can offer no meaningful counter - you are a scammer. [00:23]
decimation jabba the hut has a purpose for her [00:24]
mircea_popescu does he wear a hoodie ? [00:24]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: he specifically mentioned cryptoaccelerator modules [00:24]
mircea_popescu a [00:24]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: (these are often included as coprocessor 'cores' on conventional cpu) [00:24]
mircea_popescu and specifically disused by people serious about their crypto [00:25]
asciilifeform the chip found in 'pogo', incidentally, has a somewhat dusty one [00:25]
decimation asciilifeform: actually you could 'harden' a microcontroller against side channel attacks [00:25]
asciilifeform and yes specifically disused [00:25]
asciilifeform decimation: the manufacturer can claim to harden against attack. can even do so, to an extent. you - buyer - have no way to distinguish; not to learn what else is - or is not - inside [00:26]
asciilifeform i seriously didn't imagine this being such a hard concept for folks to grasp [00:26]
decimation asciilifeform: aye. nor could any amount of 'crypto module software' help [00:26]
mircea_popescu lol alf giving airgapped guy an incredibly hard time [00:26]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2015#1044688 << cuz someone pays him toi. [00:27]
assbot Logged on 06-03-2015 23:55:48; asciilifeform: airgapped: let's take your word. why, then, do you spend your days working on a problem to which the answer cannot exist ? [00:27]
mircea_popescu i know people who try to write novels. another problem for which the solution can not exist. [00:27]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i've no idea who he is, but he fit my expected pattern for the inevitably next mr yetmoarspam far too well [00:27]
mircea_popescu you gotta learn to behead people after rather than before, you nut you. [00:27]
mircea_popescu give love a chance! [00:28]
asciilifeform if fella's any good he'll snap that head back on & rejoin [00:28]
mircea_popescu if he's any bad, also. [00:28]
asciilifeform lol [00:28]
asciilifeform probably. [00:28]
mircea_popescu why then doi you claim to solve a problem through a process through which no solution could be had! [00:28]
asciilifeform hm? [00:29]
mircea_popescu explicitly : what is the difference between him making secure crypto arms and you cutting random heads ? [00:29]
asciilifeform wouldn't dream of trying to solve the particular problem in that thread [00:29]
asciilifeform poor fella arrived just as i was thinking of attempting essay re: specificity-of-diddling [00:30]
asciilifeform and ended up it [00:30]
mircea_popescu lol. [00:30]
mircea_popescu happens. [00:30]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2015#1044644 << beginning of thread [00:30]
assbot Logged on 06-03-2015 23:41:18; asciilifeform: it is absolutely essential, to understand what is being spoken of here, to go back to the thread about the specificity of hardware-diddling. [00:30]
asciilifeform to borrow mircea_popescu's terminology, buying a dedicated, e.g., rsa silicon, communicates information to enemy which he has no business learning [00:31]
asciilifeform regarding your intentions to compute rsa funktion [00:31]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-03-2015#1044696 << this is sadly such sop, i doubt most derps even register there's anything wrong with it., [00:31]
assbot Logged on 07-03-2015 00:01:46; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and deliberately pseudo-open architecture (runs linux, sure, but with massive closed blobs required even to boot. and vendor regularly pays media mouthpieces to lie about it; also posts astroturfed comments) [00:31]
asciilifeform 'raspberry' is egregious and famously so even among the other horrors [00:31]
asciilifeform in, for example, the fact that the 'blob' does not merely initialize the hardware, but actually runs at all times on its own coprocessor [00:32]
decimation asciilifeform: would you ever voluntarily use a broadcom chip for anything? [00:32]
decimation asciilifeform: that's sop in every smartphone that exists [00:32]
decimation can't even examine the blob [00:32]
asciilifeform decimation: can't say that i would [00:33]
asciilifeform 'from cause rather than from principle' [00:34]
asciilifeform folks ask me questions like this in meatspace and i end up explaining that no, i do not necessarily know of a specific sin for that specific part number [00:34]
asciilifeform but 'fruit of poison tree' [00:35]
asciilifeform *rather than purpose [00:35]
asciilifeform damnit [00:35]
asciilifeform cause rather than purpose. [00:35]

asciilifeform now, i happen to have a large collection of hard (and soft) ware that i consider questionable. but it is kept around specifically for abusive experimentation rather than 'use' in the usual sense. [00:37]

decimation so prevailing 30 year fixed mortgage rates went from 3.5 to 4.0 in about 2 weeks [00:39]
mircea_popescu clearly desperate bid to reign in inflation [00:40]
decimation and 10 year treasuries went from %2.1 to %2.25 just today [00:40]
mircea_popescu by now every fucking wikipedia entry containing a sum of dollars has to have a "x in 2013 dollars" affixed. [00:40]
* Guest20049 has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [00:40]
decimation all this is because usg released a report that said that 30k more people 'have jobs' and wages were flat [00:40]
mircea_popescu no, all this because they're not stupid, and would like to not hang. [00:41]
* felipelalli has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [00:41]
decimation which doesn't mean shit for actual economics but means alot for the magic fed decision meter [00:41]
mircea_popescu i'm so curious if next mulatoo in chief actually finds a volcker v2.0 [00:41]
* asciilifeform wonders what the rate would have to be to cut off the chump flow [00:42]
asciilifeform 100% ? [00:42]
asciilifeform 1000? [00:42]
decimation the problem is, if you raise rates to the 18% per annum that real estate prices in new york imply, you quickly find that usg is paying all its tax to debtors [00:43]

gribble wences was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 37 weeks, 6 days, 3 hours, 4 minutes, and 47 seconds ago: mircea, are you here? [00:44]
mircea_popescu but as a theoretical, probably impractical solution. otherwise, 1-2% hikes each quarter for the next 3-5 years would be what a sane cb would do [00:44]
mircea_popescu decimation you don;t mega hike it, you put it on a pain plan. [00:45]
cazalla mircea_popescu> archive.today thing works fine. <<< i have started to do this [00:46]
mircea_popescu good. [00:46]
asciilifeform ideally the mirror would be a genuine #b-a-affiliated box, no ? [00:47]
asciilifeform would suck to lose all the mirrored pages in one shot if archive.today is taken out [00:48]

decimation what's a 'pain plan'? [00:51]
decimation pay the little people 0% when inflation is well above 10%? [00:51]
mircea_popescu when you tell the slavegirl "today, you X this much, and tomorrow X+k, and so forth each day X+nk" [00:51]
mircea_popescu "the only thing you know for sure is that tomorrow's going to be worse" = pain plan [00:52]
mircea_popescu pretty much every good computer game ever. [00:52]
decimation heh yeah [00:53]
decimation not only will usg be paying all of its tax revenue to debtors, the fed's $4.5 trillion worth of 3% mortgages won't look so good [00:55]
mircea_popescu yeah well. [00:58]
mircea_popescu i'm not a miracle worker, i'm a butcher. i don't revive dead cows, i just cut them apart. [00:58]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: broadcom. but also the apologists (many of whom, i gather, weren't even -paid- shills, but merely fools) [12:35]
mircea_popescu well, it tried for the entire "being apple" marketing thing. [12:35]
mircea_popescu no steve, so not the same results, but it does show there exists this partiuclar herd of cattle in the wild, ready for a milking [12:36]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i kinda followed the whole thing; even bought - back when it was not clear what it was - the device (1st ed. 'raspberry') [12:37]
PeterL yeah, sort of a small grenade launcher combining some attributes of gyrojet [12:37]
asciilifeform (still have it, and the camera option. mostly gathers dust.) [12:37]

nubbins` Methyl soyate has a high solvency with a Kauri-butanol (KB) value of 58 and has low toxicity when compared to other common substances. In comparison to most commercial solvents, methyl soyate is safer to handle and store due to its high flashpoint of approximately 360 degrees Fahrenheit and high boiling point of well over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not list methyl soyate as an [12:50]
nubbins` ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), hazardous air pollutant or volatile organic compound. Methyl soyate�s slow evaporation time can be seen as a disadvantage, but in certain applications methyl soyate outperforms other traditional solvents when longer settle times are needed. [12:50]

danielpbarron Nobody noticed the hat initially. Was the city too busy for the hat to be anything of interest? It took five or so hours of walking around different parts of Manhattan before anyone said anything. When it started to get dark out people reacted completely differently. One person came up to me, asked about the hat and then offered me a range drugs. http://ecstaticpessimist.in/projects/4-forehead-gallery << LOLOL [19:51]

asciilifeform 8k x 18 is still a fuckton if there's no extraneous crapolade in there [23:34]
asciilifeform how many folks here have written enough asm (let's be liberal, pick any arch) to fill 8k? [23:35]
* felipelalli1 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:35]
* asciilifeform has, and it took a while [23:35]
asciilifeform before anyone says 'but the data set' - people in the 'age of xx kB' often kept them on tape and operated piecemeal [23:36]
asciilifeform see the 'tape sorts' featured in the knuth aop centerfolds, for example [23:36]
mircea_popescu it's about 2-4k instructions. a week's worth ? [23:37]
asciilifeform if you do nothing else [23:37]
asciilifeform and writing mostly 'from your head' already. [23:37]
asciilifeform then yes. [23:37]

cazalla i take it noone here got an invite to evoorhee's wedding lol [23:40]
mircea_popescu well if you're going to write asm you'd better know the opcodes. [23:40]
mircea_popescu uh wasn't that in 2013 ?! [23:41]
mircea_popescu for all the american beauty fans : http://41.media.tumblr.com/69d4a34cc4a125868a9f77b1adb73899/tumblr_mzpd5kUAsW1s8p58po1_1280.jpg [23:41]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: meant the overall logic, rather than opcodes (of course you know the opcodes, that isn't what takes time) [23:41]

mircea_popescu really, bitcoin is quite aptly "a microscope". specifically, in this case : the sort of bs idiocy we deride used to pass for "business" and "entrepreneurship" as a regular thing. sop. [23:53]
mircea_popescu those dudes find themselves in the position where atrocities that were just fine suddenly are viewed as atrocities by a cohesive group. [23:53]
mircea_popescu talk about business disruption. [23:54]
trinque mircea_popescu: yeah, I've been running the uploader by hand; I'm around to do so [23:54]
asciilifeform betcha they see #b-a as something not unlike how normal people see militant 'vegans' [23:54]
