mircea_popescu: people who know the us is a scam know the us is a scam. people who "don't know" "don't know" for various good reasons that this bit isn't addressing.
asciilifeform: from inside the mental asylum, this... idk, helps stand up the delusion that anyone gives half a shit re ssl ?
mircea_popescu: so what the fuck is the relation between a cali hearing clinic, a mid sized title holding/services company such that they'd share certs ? and no, it's not JUST on the mp end of the cannon : http://archive.is/uHV8m ☟︎
asciilifeform ON A MOTHERFUKING SATURDAY yet ANOTHER phone interview with folks who ~lied~ in advertisement re telecommute ☟︎
mircea_popescu: a ok ok
mircea_popescu: in a sec ya
asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts you get a diddled john young pgp pubkey
deedbot: $ wget -l 0 -qO- https://cryptome.org | sha512sum cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e is not a command.
mircea_popescu: rarely have i seen all the letter servers from a to m be in the authority section of an obscure, blogger.com-esque domain.
asciilifeform: holy fuck is this a cheap diddle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i got a different chain.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is getting a monkeyed route it seems ?
asciilifeform: 'MF are running the WP SMTP plugin which gives you the ability to send mail from your website via a mail server. This plugin stores email server address and login information in plain text in the WordPress database. ... MF are also running the ALO EasyMail Newsletter plugin which provides list management functionality. One of the functions it provides is to receive bounced emails from a mail server and automatically remove those boun
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-09#1449300 << imho this is lame, sheerly from the fact that i need 10x as many keystrokes to transform an old link to a usable one. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-09#1449320 << medicine for a corpse. ☝︎
phf: i want to observe state transition (and timing) during fall over, to take it to a next step
trinque: heh, fleanode will have a seizure any moment now
phf: i wrote a statemachine to manage bot state, but now connection doesn't want to croak :/
deedbot hands you a broomstick. ☟︎
trinque: ok. built a binary and I have that being managed by runit
mthreat: mircea_popescu: anyway, just a trip to the US. Went to the classic jet aircraft association conference, met bunch of jet pilots.
trinque: I'm gonna poke the DC monday about moving to a box with moar cores, and will probably push some updates to the bot itself too then
mthreat: or a $verify alias to $v :)
trinque: yes it does need a $help
mthreat: trinque: i tried 'help', etc, can't find a help
trinque: yep, I need to replace that box; it's straining under doing that and being a bitcoin node at the same time
mircea_popescu: mthreat were you talking to deedbot- with a - ?
deedbot: $voice mthreat is not a command.
shinohai: np, unless that was a pun on Erik Voorhee's ass xD
asciilifeform: i find this as bitter a pill as mircea_popescu does rms.
asciilifeform: as a matter of course
deedbot hands you a broomstick.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448998 << you know, if anyone actually cares, i had that book, and read it at the age (romanians did these super-glossy high value looking sf series for some reason, for a few years were the best physical item books avail in ro. http://www.endernews.com/images/covers/rom-1994-nemira.jpg << this one), but didn't think much of it. read to me like so much purple prose, some derp jacking off w ☝︎
asciilifeform: i did not say 'would like to live very long time!11' but only that 'not in a hurry to eat the luger yet'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448987 << very many, actually. the least bothersome thing to a mp is another one. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ;;google "now i know i'm pretty, but i ain't as pretty as a couple of titties"
mircea_popescu: this guy, thinks he's a nigger. got a bad scar and missing eye. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: see as a forinstance, you ~think~ that going up to some angry looking black dudes propping a streetlight in the bad part of town and sticking them up with your bare hands is "insanely suicidal risk". this is exactly not how it fucking works, as drexl explains for your benefit, if you were paying attention.
asciilifeform: since when do we give a flying fuck about 'average adult' ?
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet a teen actually as dumb as the average adult. ignorant, sure, but that's something else.
mircea_popescu: for the record, adults are by and large MUCH dumber than teenagers. which is why i will accept a shoddy seventeen year old to serve, but not a thirty-one year old were her ass gilded.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448961 << that';s not the real issue. the really issue is that SELF is not a scalar, and you'd want it to be. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that's also a thing
phf: problem with parsing urls is not regex or no regex, it's that you can't reliably parse a url without resorting to heuristics OR doing nlp on context. all ; , : ) are valid constituents of url path, query and fragment, so you can't know where url ends and context begins.
deedbot hands you a broomstick.
asciilifeform: but recall that prior to structural steel, a 6-story bldg that isn't a pyramid is a 'tower of babel'
mircea_popescu: so you're a vitalist and shame on you.
mircea_popescu: but they'll never build such a tower of babel as to actually touch the definitive-complete-actually-happens-clockwork.
asciilifeform: admitting mushmind idiocy is a poetteringization of physics.
mircea_popescu: which goes directly to your "correct program for all electrically-possible inputs". there is never going to be a very interesting program which takes an ennumeralbe list of inputs. such is the sad fate of things.
asciilifeform: in all previous physical theories, there is a solid reality presumed.
asciilifeform: it is a dodge.
mircea_popescu: but this is a purely mental exercise, and of no particular physical relevancy, really.
mircea_popescu: sentient is in any case not the proper word. the point is that if observer future behaviour is modulated by the observation, this is one class of thing. such as is the man, or the cat. and if observer future behaviour is not so modulated, then this is another class of thing. such as a rock.
mircea_popescu: the point is that interaction changes a system and observation is not priviledged.
asciilifeform: an idiocy that ~ought~ to have gotten bohr into a productive and happy life of tractor-driving
asciilifeform: (he demanded a model that does not admit chance anywhere.)
asciilifeform: the man was in a deeper sense an antiscientist than lysenko.
mircea_popescu: biggest problem with everett's notions of qm, and why bohr was a respected physicist whereas everett was a sort of h. ellison, was that he purports to have some sort of q-independent causality.
phf: but the question of link hijack remains, i will revisit it after i refine the annotation mechanism a bit
phf: behavior was obviously buggy, with an equally trivial fix, i.e. fragment < last-t-a-entry-id
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a charitable interpretation
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i have learned that: a) there is ~0 demand for the things i know how to do among honest-work folks b) the folks who ~are~ hiring reversers, CAN'T FIND them << "socialism works" in other words.
phf: original purpose was to let me read log references without leaving the log reader, but jurov later suggested doing a more exhaustive link fix for deprecated urls
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448857 << he has a point i think ; while the semantic content of links may perhaps be argued in that way phf , seeing how for instance redirects are honored etc ; nevertheless can't simply hijack people's links. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ha http://fr.anco.is/2016/bitbet-auction-a-winrar-is-znort987#comment-8496
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448825 << no he really had the right idea, something like that'd have been a great way to sanitize one's own meatwot. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: contrary to what the disney cartoon re-enactions of "the dinosaur age" may show for cinematic value, most dinosaurs died of organ failure, not of being eaten by a supposedly functional superpreditor that in point of fact was barely adequate to count as a manatee in modern terms.
asciilifeform: as a matter of fact, we will.
mircea_popescu: phf this sounds to me a lot like "we'll build actual programming language on top of this approximating processor thing".
asciilifeform: phf is a winner!
phf: danielpbarron: my impression is that in all seriousness asciilifeform pines for a technology priest status in an hierarchy that's at the very least not rotten through and through, i.e. building machines for non-lizard-hitler. he despairs since one is not available. as such "become crust punk" advise is totally inapplicable to him
jurov: create a business, deduct expenses etc...but that discussion's dead horse, i guess ☟︎
trinque: "why is it so hard for an mp to build his superorganism?" is a more interesting question to me than "why not moar mp?"
asciilifeform: trinque: you can't be a well-fed wolf just by wanting.
trinque: (in all fairness to the rabbits, I'm aware of at least one instance of a rabbit eating the ears off his weaker brother)
trinque: one's a pile of fungible derps; the other pointedly isn't
punkman: asciilifeform: but briefly back to thread, imho it is important to understand that asking 'how to be mircea_popescu' is a fundamentally broken question, not unlike 'how do i win the lotto' << hey we just had the answer to lotto. you cheat.
asciilifeform: to be complete, it oughta also contain a reminder that there is not a forest where you can put 10 bil. wolves.
phf: It started with wolf teaching rabbits to hunt with a playfulness and earnestly "this how you put mouth on jugular see!!" with rabbits going "eww jugular how to hunt carrots like mp?" with an obvious "wtf durp" response
asciilifeform: i recall he had a spiffy article, where he cooked up an alternative to the maslow 'pyramid' thing, with 'mystical domination - being right when there was no good reason you could be right' as #5
asciilifeform: could it be because fella himself took a strongly -ev tack and won ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: it is actually interesting to me, how mircea_popescu has a very strong respect for folks who take suicidally dumb risks (e.g., the 'oregon patriot' folk, isis snackbars, etc.)
phf: Sure it's idiotic but that's where conversation ~ended~ with an obvious "eat a naggant" response
asciilifeform: but briefly back to thread, imho it is important to understand that asking 'how to be mircea_popescu' is a fundamentally broken question, not unlike 'how do i win the lotto'
asciilifeform: because they are dumb enough to do a screamingly -ev thing ☟︎
phf: That's usually when you put on a gas mask
asciilifeform: 'talented' is not a scalar. ☟︎
phf: Anyway I can't communicate that point because I only infrequently manage it, and the results are always predictably +ev, but perhaps it's the idea that minimax requires painful break, but then possibility space opens up and a talented person like yourself will have a relatively easy (though not effortless) time exploiting it
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448877 >> i routinely sit 3-4 h/day in car. << I knew a guy who went by train from Madison, Ct to NYC every weekday, and another guy who went from rhode island!! to NYC, also train. And to tie into current thread, there was a 3rd guy on the train who was mormon. ☝︎
phf: What I'm saying it wasn't always "eat a naggant or be awesome" ☟︎
asciilifeform: at any rate, everett device is this gadget that tries to guess the answer to a trapdoor problem, e.g., deriving mircea_popescu's private key primes
asciilifeform: 'go and eat a pistol, first pray to vishnu that you can be reborn hot chik'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu will probably, when he wakes up, remind me that i oughta learn a new profession, e.g, organ grinder
asciilifeform: a) there is ~0 demand for the things i know how to do among honest-work folks
asciilifeform: in fact i got a call from no less than motherfucking ft meade the other day.
pete_dushenski: surprised you haven't programmed own autonomous car ferfuxake. it wouldn't take a month's worth of time stuck behind idiotic wheel in mordor traffic
pete_dushenski: done pulling up excel when boss walks by so soon ? or is guy who stormed out setting a precedent you're keen to follow ?
pete_dushenski: one for BingoBoingo and his political crusades : http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35965362 because what is politics if not a movie ?
pete_dushenski: in other news, autonomous semi trucks are about to get the vote : http://qz.com/656104/a-fleet-of-trucks-just-drove-themselves-across-europe/
