asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-24#1617414 << iirc orig thread ☝︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform, in short: bridge gap until eulora's server migrates to eucrypt; not a solution to anything, nor a desired anything
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 16:11 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc we had a thread even here where somebody whined that FG doesn't work as a 'totem' where you 'plug in and forget and it just becomes your /dev/random' and that it has to be actively ~used~
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-13#1669565 << 1 thread ☝︎
asciilifeform never implemented a fgtronic /dev/random replacement , quite deliberately, and iirc the reasons are in the log
asciilifeform: diana_coman: out of curiosity, why do you want to put your fg's through linus's whitener ?
mod6: Hehe, she printed them off, three-hole punched 'em, and put em in a binder, no less.
mod6: I was going through my mom's stuff yesterday, she kept all kinds of trilema clippings.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-09 20:57 mircea_popescu: drivers/char/random.c is what needs changing. wipe the calls to "add_disk_randomness" and bullshit, replace with your fg feeder.
diana_coman: is there a tmsr patch/recipe for feeding /dev/random from fgs? my search of logs yielded only http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-09#1783118 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i wonder what he's up to.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-06 00:42 mike_c: i have been in the newspaper multiple times, and i have been in trilema posts multiple times. one of these means more than the other, but I can only show my mother the newspaper clippings :)
lobbes: <BingoBoingo> [...] "dat signal's racist" << ayup. Pantsuit trains "autoimmune response" to specific signals, and causes all kinds of broken thinking. I posit that this is the root cause of things such as >> http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-06#784482 ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you think ? << Probably. Nothing else explains Sweden's continued doubling down other than handicapping themselves because "dat signal's racist"
mircea_popescu: yes, that's the nail. the ru guy did take what was it, some sort of something.
asciilifeform: i can see malingerers for pension, or for draft-dodging, but what's his then for ?
mircea_popescu: i can't call it ; but would be no worse strategy than what's the ru guy's name
asciilifeform: if malingering, wainot fill out them forms.
mircea_popescu: you think ?
BingoBoingo: To pantsuit all of #trilema has to read as vexual as vexual reads to us ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and so yes, when he's angry his pretense fails to keep up.
mircea_popescu: when lawyer wants to test for truth, he offers guy obvious easy explanation, sees if guy takes it. if he does... he's looking for an out, isn't he!
mircea_popescu: see, that's not "one weird trick". that's how EVERYTHING works. the basic 101 of http://trilema.com/2012/strategic-superiority-a-saga/#selection-233.62-233.144
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The single typing fuckgoat they imagine is doing all the talking because... unfair. Shannonizer blindeness is internalized.
mircea_popescu: blind or no blind, french peasant isn't taking one to the head.
mircea_popescu: no, but built special walkway with sudden low ceiling, saw if they ducked.
trinque: mircea_popescu: aimed musket at their heads?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, but what individual ? what, it seems to you #trilema is individual ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you know how "alt right" picked "soros" to be "the evil billionaire behind everything" ? do you suppose THAT is what prevents the "mainstream left" from identifying the evil billionaire behind their precious cuntlet losing the precious election and everything else ? << "mainstream" left has as an anchor that "individual people can
mircea_popescu: now you tell me, how did they check ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, let me tell you a story. so during napoleon era, for the first time "general army" was introduced, before that it was all profesisonal soldiery. huge humongous legions of draft dodgers, because really now, draft ? and napoleon standing for the "reasoning" "humanism" thingee of course introduced doctors to check whether medical claims were factual (most common amongst which, blindness).
trinque: eh I don't buy the political terms for all this; that appears to be when his brain *is* working, instead of farting around in neurotic loops
ckang: yea seems to depend if hes in a manic state or not
trinque: I won't spend too much time on this, but it's interesting that he transitions from third person self-reference to first person when he gets angry.
asciilifeform: and enemy -- knows this.
asciilifeform: as soon as the smarter folx in the enemy camp get the notion that there's somewhere to defect to -- game over
mircea_popescu: maybe i owe some thanks to these folk i don't even realise...
mircea_popescu: you know how "alt right" picked "soros" to be "the evil billionaire behind everything" ? do you suppose THAT is what prevents the "mainstream left" from identifying the evil billionaire behind their precious cuntlet losing the precious election and everything else ?
mircea_popescu: but they could try a different ineffective one!
asciilifeform: it's the only ~effective tool in their box tho
mircea_popescu: somehow at all junctures it was always "a better choice" in imperial logic to "blame bad luck", maybe execute a scapegoat or other, than identify the goldstein.
mircea_popescu: and they will, too!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in uncle al terminology, 'they proclaimed it was Bad Luck and carried on'
mircea_popescu: do one iota of things that work, get iota^? worth of things that brand free!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i mean consider the lengthy list of shit. sent "academician" into retirement ? raped bank new arsehole ? raped govt ministry new arsehole, and as a community project no less ? raped... mit's "media lab" new arsehole ? exposed assets, exposed toolchains, i can do whatever the fuck i please and ~NOT~ be famous.
ckang: lol you listening to his story?
trinque: > Terry needs like, clear evidence that there's a point to this fucking
ben_vulpes: ckang: "from causes, not towards purposes"
ben_vulpes: "but the code of conduct says that the software cannot be allowed to say things about race etc!"
ckang: heh yea ive been trying to come up with a good use for tensorflow
ben_vulpes: ckang: i actually think that'd be a hilarious statistics project; just clustering on skeleton segment lengths would probably be enough to assplode the leftists heads
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a very interesting protection factor at work, too! if you do enough things that work, you can do plenty of things that in other people would create "brand" and be immune from it! consider the bit spyked recently dredged up, http://trilema.com/2009/niste-rigoare-pentru-mircea-badea/
ckang: i think the last thing i heard weev say he was working on, was some python code to detect if a person in a photo is black or white
mircea_popescu: STILL doesn't want to do things that work, but things that shine. well... why the fuck ? oobviously http://trilema.com/2017/yitzhaks-trilemma/
a111: Logged on 2018-04-20 19:31 ckang: weev is an actual cuck btw, the true definition
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, see, this is one of the best arguments re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803989 (though the correct word is punk, ie http://trilema.com/2012/big-rock-candy-mountain/#selection-227.1-233.34 ) : dood got fucked with the brand thing, stood himself up shakily, dusted self off... and dived right back into it! ☝︎
asciilifeform: and can live for surprisingly long time.
asciilifeform: if there's no debian-style herd of ruminants attached, to your 'brand', then ~invisible to these folx.
mircea_popescu: well what's the use of that!
mircea_popescu: they don't look, they work. wtf can you do with something that works!
mircea_popescu: whereas davis had less useful things -- they work.
asciilifeform: a certified nutter is one of the 'safest' things to be, from this pov
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, or rather, knew how. see, murdock has "brand" or however you call the fool's gold they're only preoccupied with. they know how to steal that.
mircea_popescu: before being terminated, ALSO gainfully employed (writing nsa crapolade for "docker" -- remember, if they're not dockers, they're just pants!)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he never had anyffing at all they judged to be worth stealing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, not even worth the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692407 bullet. ☝︎
ckang: but an interesting story, this was shortly after he got kicked out
ckang: cant find the archive.org copy, it was called FirstMate.mp4
asciilifeform: d00d's on his unstoppable journey into the upper tundra.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is kinda what i was unknowingly reaching for, with the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803880 : more data to extract the understanding out of what looked like a promising vein. but in the meanwhile sleep reorganized observation for me and now it's quite fucking plain. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and i'm pretty sure you're exactly right, he could be into fiat again if he started filling in the magic form again.
asciilifeform: whatever other mental cockroaches he could have suffered from in youth, it is all quite thoroughly masked nao by having gone properly batshit
asciilifeform: iirc before davis went fullbore barmy, he was gainfully employed , in the old-fashioned sense, wrote embedded os thing for -- iirc -- 'ticketmaster' co
mircea_popescu: n of the lava lamp".
mircea_popescu: then they go all http://trilema.com/2016/alexacom-or-the-measurable-web-delusion/ but seriously... "uniques" ? holy shit they're not uniques, they're either little terries or little elliots. seriously, they READ YOU ? how the fuck could they ~possibly~ have read you past the psychogenic noise scrolldown going on in front of their eyes non-stop ? exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-22#1804512 holy shit, "i have the attentio ☝︎
mircea_popescu: now how the fuck can you build anything out of 100`000`000 elliots and 10`000`000 terries ? because that's the other fucking half of http://trilema.com/2014/pushing-the-soft-tender-flesh-of-a-friend-against-the-sharp-rotating-blades-of-the-immutable-machine/#selection-967.295-971.2 "how much does the devil have to pay you to love him" problem.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 00:00 deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/heres-what-polyamory-is-not/ << Trilema - Here's what "polyamory" is not :
mircea_popescu: because it's not just terry. the entire population of github, from http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=dgerard to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793426 and ALL shades in between, nothing, EXACTLY NOTHING but little terries running about. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: now go ahead and make it great again. HOW ? they lack the instruments with which they'd agree upon a great in the first place. collection of terries, give them coffee or not give them coffee, they'll move about like an algae bloom.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 16:19 mircea_popescu: man acting alone is stuck with these "oh, a conclave of idiots bent on self preservation and avoiding the lowly station their idiocy warrants them holds all the power, and i'll act as man alone confronted by governemnt".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it's become a fixation in the children ; now merge it with the church of self esteem and its holy youcandoanything, and the REASON http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1800094 ie "smart kids" always being found with their pants down acting the "man alone" part and never learning anything from the experience is pretty fucking clear. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: now, 50, 100 years ago this was a great characteristic of that maybe-one-day-a-nation conglomeration in our colonies.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-20 17:44 mircea_popescu: finally coming out of the massive bender at t2, the dude WOULD STILL LIKE TO EAT. how would you eat if you were him ? would you give up, do something else with your time ? he doesn't give up. he's fucking dedicated.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i'm starting to understand a lot of things about why the maga can never be, consider the gritted, unyielding, sheer determination of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1803769 ; and i've noticed my us-born slavegirls CAN NOT QUIT. even when hopeless, even when wasteful, their specific identifiable mark in whatever harem social games is they're the ones that can not fucking say uncle. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so amusingly enough, THEIR understanding of his mental issue is built entirely of his sanity. his problem is exactly the rest of what they identify. quite interesting marginal case in being so neatly split. usually there's some overlap.
asciilifeform: this is the likely explanation for his transition to hobo stage -- prolly he finally stopped filling out the magic form etc
mircea_popescu: that's the substance of "costs more than gf" -- resources, spent ; hoops, not jumped. "irrational" behaviour in the imperial contractual sense.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they lament exactly so, and not specifically about this d00d, but erry single schizo ( incl prolly the one i saw last night )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, but i can imagine, you know, lenghty string of ustards trying to help, where their help was of the form "we'll expend x resources if you're willing to jump through y hoops" and he refusing and them going umm... why doesn't the form thing work!!1
ckang: but hes not talent-less
mircea_popescu: you can't go around pretending like he's ok. he's not ok, nor ever was, nor can ever be, but this is not so much a problem to whosoever is willing to apply formal tests only.
mircea_popescu: ckang, no, it's when his entirely deranged mental state became a lot more difficult to "hide", in the sense usual usg.zek "hides" his being raped daily, from himself.
ckang: did you catch the video of him talking about befriending a prostitute ?
mircea_popescu: the other terries actually aquiesce to unprincipled exceptions, which makes them precisely just as fucking insane but entirely less remarkable.
ckang: when he lost that is when things became a lot worse for his mental state
mircea_popescu: he has these things he'll do, he's decided aforehand, and nothing around matters ONE WHIT. now, will you pour bitcoin into his sand ? if you do ok, but to quote, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1796685 ☝︎
ckang: i think all terry needs to be happy is a room, bed, internet, diet shasta, beer and cigarettes
asciilifeform: helps to recall that the d00d is certifiably insane tho ( lived for yrs on a usg pension for insanity. as portrayed by TLP. wonder what happened to this -- they were abolished? i've nfi )
