mircea_popescu: it ~never had a corpse to eat, it sucked its own dick for as long as that lasted.
mircea_popescu: or in general, by the piles and piles and piles of failures of this utterly failed generation.
mircea_popescu: incidentally - nothing is said about how marc andreesseen had to be rescue-married into old wealth to maintain the pretense of relevancy cca 2006 ; nor how zuckerberg's ~only noteworthy initiative (free basics, trying to turn the third world web into a sort of apple store) utterly failed, rejected EVEN BY INDIA
mircea_popescu: apparently this is obvious even to the pope of usgistan
mircea_popescu: which is the whole fucking thing : these people do not want to exist.
mircea_popescu: and in perhaps unrelated lulz : last year, the romanian supreme court struck down the "because the company filed a criminal complaing against the employee" cause for terminating employment. yeah, you read that right. the reason given was that due to social importance blabla, employment ~must be protected from arbitrary decisions~.
mircea_popescu: that said, /me wishes teh very best to the actual ugandan children. oppressed as they find themselves under hermetically sealing, thick and numerous layers of dedicatedly-imbecile adults, it'd be a wonder if anything comes of them. but - all the better for all those who do make it in such conditions.
mircea_popescu: in short, it's not that the stupid whore gets fucked by this bad smelly bully all the time. it's that they're married, and she regularly chooses him. and they'll have to burn together, there's no rescuing to be done in this film.
mircea_popescu: oh yes - chased the freenode idiots for year + back in 2012/2013 trying to give them servers. they - EXACTLY LIKE THESE OTHER IDIOTS - to the fucking t, never got the servers. then a few months later were "suspiociously hacked" and "will publish report" then neverp ublished any report and then went full nsa, which is where we're now.
mircea_popescu: so technically jurov is right : i'll burn down this uganda and make a new one, fuck 'em. this pretense of independent existence everyone keeps trying to put up is sickening to me.
mircea_popescu: and in general this exactly mirrors everything - we tried to work with gpg turns out gpg doesn't want to work, not WITH anyone, it actually does not want to work, at all. ditto for the ssh. ditto for everyone and everything.
mircea_popescu: this exactly mirrors me using planeshift code for eulora, did token gesture towards planeshift people, they be EXACTLY as idiotic as blender people in exactly the same way, so as a result /me is having the code refactored and will not work with them
mircea_popescu: this a few months before they decided to only support python 3, showing the soundness of that strategic decision.
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : me uses blender for eulora, originally wanted to work with the blender people, and as a "first gesture" sorta thing tried to make a donation. blender people turned out even more batshit insane than anyone could have imagined, which resulted in smg deciding to fork blender and not support their idiotic foundation
mircea_popescu: i suppose it isn't to be a surprise that in a world where the doctor expects you to pay him for him to do what ~he~ feels ; and the lawyer is strictly shocked that his position as counsel is STRICTLY to do all the legwork you don't feel like doing and absolutely not to do any of the cool management stuff, cuz you're paying and you're gonna be eating that - the charity dudes similarly expect nsa oodlebunches of moneyz
mircea_popescu: other than the openbsd turpitude you may recall the blender idiocy etc.
mircea_popescu: i'm rather independently VERY soured on "donation" to the idiot parade.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how the actually useful stuff, such as "put the fucking bitcoin address on google's homepage already, you dork!" somehow "accidentally" never fucking happens.
mircea_popescu: myeah. if you absolutely want comment i'd point out that wtf "charity", the guy on the ground in uganda isn't even in the wot ; and wtf arrogant google developers shouldn't be entertained, but really there's no problem with trying and whatever.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was some gypsy who lost a finger through the unlikely avenue of filling a caravan full of papier-mache flowers and then using gasoline for lube when fucking his 16yo wife.
mircea_popescu: some tardstalk thread where you were trying to support the google / ex-vim's guy charity.
mircea_popescu: jurov dude may i just not know everything to the level of l0 cache here for a minute!
mircea_popescu: "You like vim? Donate to Bram Molenaar in BTC and help kids in Uganda" da fuck is this then
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes seems trivial to separate stem from social "sciences", women's "studies" etc. plenty of avenues available, too, like "deny all female access" or "no science without scientific method" or so forth.
mircea_popescu: btw mod6 ben_vulpes trinque re the whole db/fs etc discussion, anyone recall the symlinks method / proposed tests ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if he made much more than living expenses.
mircea_popescu: dude check them out they deliver 19k mah out of a 100g package.
mircea_popescu: prolly mature enough by now i guess. anyway shouldn't be a huge thing.
mircea_popescu: well, it was more like "should be exposed to user, WHAT checkpoint to use". ie same as here.
mircea_popescu: mod6 that "separate config file" references what i recall as a previous discussion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but a raid controller that is made-for-our-purpose, and part of the whole stack all the way to db...
mircea_popescu: and no, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with "buy 64 ssd drives and raid them".
mircea_popescu: tbh, if the "hdd" is correctly constructed (out of ssds, blockchain is the killer problem for ssds) then it should be so fucking fast...
mircea_popescu: no, i mean the kind of cheap you're talking about, "oh, soy is cheap and gold is expensive". volumes scale, soy is sold in the ton and gold in the ounce. there's no "cheap" ; if it's 20 a pop you bundle 1k together.
mircea_popescu: especially if a) the piece is actually useful as opposed to curio and b) it's being sold for scrap by the imperial idiots.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i mean that if some guy who is actively developing for some iron is shying away from buying a piece because he only has part of the money i'd consider cutting a deal.
mircea_popescu: (obviously what he's trying to do is speculate the cluelessness of english speakers, but whatever, we already know the guy's an utter shithead.)
mircea_popescu: well he says ukraine, i don't imagine he means sevastopol.
mircea_popescu: you know, the original russians, before the mongols came, flattened them and some random upstarts in some ravine further up north found themselves about in the position of argentina in 1950.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the notion that russia was at some point popular in the ukraine is utterly insane. when was this exactly, i don't get it, before or after the muscovy went to space ?
mircea_popescu: random fun fact : no matter how you turn the ~50bn worth of us resources & materiel shipped to the allies in ww2 into "present day shitollars", it still doesn't come ANYWHERE NEAR what the defeat in the middle east cost.
mircea_popescu: also an ~incredible~ point in case of how ustardian brain damage actually works. the very idiots that advertise captcha breaking... use captcha!
mircea_popescu: THAT's what im gonnafucking want, canned peaches. ffs.
mircea_popescu: certainly a LOT more saner than "prepper" idiots storing canned food etc.
mircea_popescu: trinque i am saying - depending on exactly what one's life goals etc are ; running a warehouse full of old iron bought on the cheap is a very reasonable lifestyle choice.
mircea_popescu is open to financing some degree of old hardware buying for share in ownership. re the above g5 sort of thing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because there's no functioning religion without a strong ascetic line.
mircea_popescu: teh republic will have to commit to in some manner providing lifeline for above.
mircea_popescu: we need moar younger... actually , moar younger women plox.
mircea_popescu: think for a moment what immense pile of varying switches the other approach would be like.
mircea_popescu: but yes, trinque has it, the discussion really is about what a db would call "the disk data format".
mircea_popescu: writing drivers is two things : a) write the fw ; or b) call nvidia faggots on a mailing list.
