assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 02:21:19; mircea_popescu: "In the world where the media postulates social media as an absolute requirement of the modern era-- the era where everything is fetishized-- no one is permitted to make the distinction between a value and the picture of a value, they are made equivalent, so daring to criticize Randi's baby pictures is made to sound like misogyny or misobaby. It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at a pict
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435187 << re this, i suppose i must point out that whatever i wrote must've been horribly mangled and deeply misunderstood (and i'd love to see exactly what quote ended up reprocessed into this). ☝︎
mircea_popescu: his career must i guess have started after 2010
mircea_popescu: anyway, this derp must be new, i have never heard of him.
asciilifeform: ^ i can't help but wonder how this reads to peanut gallery !
Agentzeromobilea: Got kicked I think...
mircea_popescu: i think i even said soemthing at some point about it.
Agentzeromobile: Just saw a funny article wanted to post but not sure if I change tabs to copy if I will be disconnected... I'll try here goes... Maybe if I disappear you could revoice me when I come back?
BingoBoingo: <davout> danielpbarron: i may have an old ipnohe lying around if you ever feel like upgrading your blawg's hosting << I suggested "edgerouter lite" more OSen available than pogo to pick from
phf: exactly same arguments i'd use to convince someone to use tinyscheme i can use to convince ~myself~ to use java..
asciilifeform: well i suppose from some angle ~anything~ is educational.
mircea_popescu: a) i've on many occasions said, "this is stupid but will be instructive, proceed" ; b) you think this is about production, which it isn't, it's educational.
asciilifeform: so when $random-ba-visitor proposes doing something idiotic with financitronics, mircea_popescu says 'this is moronic' and this is a-ok, because financitronics is a mircea_popescu-competence. when i say 'this is moronic' and subj is electronics, then i am on crack?
mircea_popescu: phf thinking about it, i think the switch has a lot to do with their delusional notion that they're somehow now in power.
asciilifeform: i have whole shelf of 1950s b00kz in 'computing' section of my library. they are spiffy & useful.
phf: i thought there was some cool shit, RAF for example had a very practical nazi beurocrat cleaning program
asciilifeform: i thought this was obvious ?
asciilifeform: who do i call if i end up in 1790 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i think isis stole your idea
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will remind you i am the one who plans to buy the ancient collection of chinese miniature emperors on rice beads
phf: mircea_popescu: which interpretation? i'm saying that the way arguments are presented here is essentially "this is how it is, and you're an idiot for not grokking" as opposed to some other, perhaps subtler, forms of rhetoric
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let the man burn pogos. i will not change man to protect pogos. wtf.
danielpbarron: recall i already did the soldering thing to make adulterated pogo
mircea_popescu: phf methinks you may be alone in that interpretation. i for instance don't do the whole "accept as fairitale" thing.
mircea_popescu: this brave new libertard world that "holds people as the greatest value", i am so sick of it!
mircea_popescu: i'm going to power 100x 12 v transformers because wut, "i can't make things - gotta use chinese made!!1"
phf: mircea_popescu: i take rhetoric as separate from message. b-a rhetoric is firmly in asshole tradition, i.e. strong statements and the listener has an option to find the subtle point.
nubbins`: i have three SATA pogos and two non-SATA
danielpbarron: using an sd card for the userland, and in two cases both had the filesystem corrupted, which is why I had to try it on my sata-style pogo
mircea_popescu: (by a high voltage rectifier thingee i mean that iirc pogos draw 4.5 V dc. a > kv rectifier diode is twenty bucks or something, you can make yourself an item you plug into the wall and it feeds 100 pogos arranged in series out of maybe a hundy.)
danielpbarron: yeah i got another pogo doing my irc client; it was also doing my old non-wp website
mircea_popescu: if it can run an obscure wp blog, it certainly can run a bnc or whatever other such thing. much better security model than "i pay 20 dollars to dc hosted blabla-freedom.net"
davout: danielpbarron: i may have an old ipnohe lying around if you ever feel like upgrading your blawg's hosting
davout: danielpbarron: i reddit'd your piece for increased pogotron ddos lulz
asciilifeform: when i tried the arch, systemd would hose the box ~weekly
danielpbarron: i think if i enable caching the pogo might survive all those hits at once better
danielpbarron: just so happens i had arch on pogo already set up, so it was the easiest to get blog going on
danielpbarron: if i'm gonna move off a pogo i'll use gentoo on whatever the replacement is
asciilifeform: and i had it, it was a turd
danielpbarron: i know it sucks
danielpbarron: your comment is approved although i did that after the archive
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know i think comments are somehow broken ? i push teh button, nothing happens.
mircea_popescu: and if i hire an immigrant irishman as a carpenter, that STILL means he's gonna carpent in fucking new york, not that i'm paying his passage back to dublin to make me some doors and window frames there. wtf.
asciilifeform: or is there some ~other~ wotless 'proven practice' i don't know about.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 14:05:47; mircea_popescu: (to explain my thought process to the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered the application of a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's. this means that in the past coupla days a window for some people to actually make their corpses useful to the world opened and closed - notwithstanding their or anyone
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435136 << still having a hard time with this. Wouldn't shifting the nonce just leave you with another nonce? I don't understand how it would line up with multiple nonces.. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, impalement is what i'd do. established absolute ruler of great power and etc. isis isn't that, just a swarming mob. of course they prefer beheadings, manlier.
mircea_popescu: how would i know!
asciilifeform: an i am, approx., a pro amputator.
mircea_popescu: "i dunno, maybe most of you die in a large pit fire ?"
mircea_popescu: i can print it and have my slaves verify it by hand.
asciilifeform: i dun see ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435122 << i have right here ! ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 13:59:23; mircea_popescu: i take it's because you were too jwz to have invited him already ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435103 << he walked out of my cache. now back in. i am considering writing to him, but probably i am no good at this, none of the folks thus far to whom i wrote, showed up. ☝︎
asciilifeform: largely i work with ~it~
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 08:25:22; jurov: hanbot: it's hard to determine what is obsolete and what isn't in past logs, i'd do only new stuff from now on and go back only following explicit references
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 04:08:30; liquidbasic: I know nothing
mircea_popescu: i mean i know gavin-moore law will "fix this in the future", of course, but this isn't how engineering works.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron an important point to consider is the data & i/o meaning of "1 petahash". if each single hash requires 256 bits of data to proceed, you are looking at 32 petabytes of data that has to move. in a second ? ouch.
mircea_popescu: i'm shocked. SHOCKED! i say!
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 03:15:03; phf: "if i cut the tape, he realized, my world will disappear. reality will continue for others, but not for me. because my reality, my universe, is coming to me from this minuscule unit. fed into the scanner and then into my central nervous system as it snailishly unwinds."
mircea_popescu: (to explain my thought process to the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered the application of a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's. this means that in the past coupla days a window for some people to actually make their corpses useful to the world opened and closed - notwithstanding their or anyone else's pretense to ☟︎
mircea_popescu: davout i see!
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 03:10:26; phf: i periodically revisit his page for inspiration, but i suspect that's he's probably some form of northern european anarcho leftist, which now's been fashionable long enough to perhaps swing back to fascism again. in other words he will probably find b-a rhetoric toxic. but i'm guessing from spending much time with other members of that crowd
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435024 << it is a sin, i will point out, to act today on the basis of an evaluation of tomorrow. please, causes. forget effects. THEY are toxic. ☝︎
davout: well i did get that and read it, but i don't have any particular assets or connections other than my wot and history that put me in a particularly better position than others to do the job
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:55:05; mircea_popescu: i don't think you take my meaning. have you for instance ever auctioned a domain name successfully ? are you well known in those circles ? anything ?
mircea_popescu: i take it's because you were too jwz to have invited him already ? ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 02:54:20; asciilifeform: i have not, it turns out, been keeping up with the fella.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:50:59; mircea_popescu: i'm sure somebody somewhere has, why not. anyway : what do you plan to do to maximize shareholder revenue from bitbet assets ?
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 13:40:36; mircea_popescu: i saw you with glasses on once, total accountant look. good enough for me.

mircea_popescu: i saw you with glasses on once, total accountant look. good enough for me. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: davout i wouldn't, in principle.
jurov: just the monkey on my back driving my fingers again, i guess.
jurov: i can't think of any possible serious objections
davout: now whether both the involved parties think i'm qualified or not is obviously the first thing to clear up
jurov: hanbot: it's hard to determine what is obsolete and what isn't in past logs, i'd do only new stuff from now on and go back only following explicit references ☟︎
liquidbasic: I know nothing ☟︎
punkman: (I mean printed A4 pages)
asciilifeform: i suppose you could 'turbo code' it (m of n)
asciilifeform: punkman: not sure if i ever viewed a microfilm reel without blots
punkman: speakinf of film, I've thought of doing backups on microfilm reels. Small reel holds 5k A4 pages or something.
phf: "if i cut the tape, he realized, my world will disappear. reality will continue for others, but not for me. because my reality, my universe, is coming to me from this minuscule unit. fed into the scanner and then into my central nervous system as it snailishly unwinds." ☟︎
mod6: anyway, think it over for a bit. i'll get some coins into the foundation in a few days and then will try to write something up that can be signed.
punkman: oh wait I misread heart attack before station shooting
mod6: hanbot: hi, cool. probably would have to go back to at least the beginning of this whole hard/soft fork discussion i'd think.
asciilifeform: phf: actually i see him as something more like a lacan who dropped out of physics, or the like
phf: for all i know he wear leather boots and listens to martial industrial..
phf: i periodically revisit his page for inspiration, but i suspect that's he's probably some form of northern european anarcho leftist, which now's been fashionable long enough to perhaps swing back to fascism again. in other words he will probably find b-a rhetoric toxic. but i'm guessing from spending much time with other members of that crowd ☟︎
hanbot: jurov: yeah, totally could be something that already exists like that sure. the realy problem is finding souls to actually DO the work there. << i'd be happy to help out however i can. how far back do you see this having to go btw?
asciilifeform: i have not, it turns out, been keeping up with the fella. ☟︎
asciilifeform: body. The Dark Interpreter is thus not to be controlled. It is an obsidian electronic mirror, the earth and skin itself.' << i lack the wordz.
asciilifeform: though i know him as '1010'
asciilifeform: phf: i am long-time fan of howse. ☟︎
asciilifeform: not like i got anybody worth playing.
asciilifeform: they are built with the assumption that i will eventually be cokemachined personally and somehow made to fight for the nazis.
asciilifeform: (and say i can hook up N of these, and the net result is xor of the lot!)
phf: kind of stuff i'd see come out of martin howse's workshop (and his people)
