mircea_popescu: phf, possibly add a line somewhere in
there, maybe as a
tooltip ? so i don't ping you again in six months lol
ckang: have 2x 1u a 2u and
the 4
phf: but right now it's very easy
to add foo:... clause.
the complete set of
these is from:, notfrom:, refs: (specific number of references
that
the post has), and not:
phf: i will at some point rewrite it
to be a more proper (NOT from:ascii) AND beedog OR ... etc. with implicit clauses..
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, i don't get it, why is
there a girl's leg under
the email box, are
they
trying
to say
they've got sluts or what
phf: mircea_popescu: notfrom, and it's not proper grammar.
the whole
thing is an AND, and
the foo:... commands are constraints. so not is more properly should be called something like "filter:"
mircea_popescu: hanbot, hey,
that's what a good variety speak is for, fit more in head.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-20 17:14 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, anyway, in particular
the veblen goods of "subscribe
to information" is one of
the lulziest applications of
the whole new-world-protestants-in-skinner-box lulz.
ben_vulpes: i love acrop, it's entirely out of my orbits
these days
though
ben_vulpes: ckang: well did you click
the link
though
mircea_popescu: i'll put a coupla bitcents
towards it, how about
that.
ben_vulpes: i am but a poor webdev who ate
too much btc last month
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'll email
the fella; dinner on you?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what, bike around in circles looking for
the fella?
BingoBoingo: ckang: Your santanic pastatron offers: " IRCCloud snippets require JavaScript
to be displayed.
Try viewing
the raw version instead. "
ckang: he popped in
today
ben_vulpes: trinque: you know i'm going
to go hang out with a favorite ex next week, maybe i'll
try
to rope him in for a gangbang
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will have
to
try
that one.
trinque: ey ben_vulpes apparently
terry davis is wandering
the streets of portland.
ckang: there is not a single decent kvm i have ever had
the pleasure of using
mircea_popescu: you have any idea how satisfying it is
to splat gelato on
tits and
things ? VERY!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, earlier, i put a slab of frozen mango jam with some ground ice and a frozen banana in
the blender.
the resulting slush was duly dolloped in expectant cups. we moved
to
the balcony and for a little all could be heard was spoons scraping on cup, but
then "how long since you showered ?" "umm... yesterday ?" *splat*
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in monkeystan, can't even be had for money, i expect. not without commissioning d00ds with suitcases <<
THe pizarro rack is already likely
the hightest concentration of RAM in
this orcistan
ckang: asciilifeform: what did yo end up with for
the BMS?
BingoBoingo: In other news, asciilifeform left me here with an ice cream habit. I not
thought
to invesitgate
the local ice cream scene in depth until mircea_popescu mentioned it is
the necessary accompaniment
to long walks. Last night I consumed 1/4 kilo of bananasplit.
mircea_popescu: anyway. at least here
the 500 could be had for under 10k. which is VERY reasonable considering what "professional" solutions cost ; and how
their performance stacks up.
ckang: i
think for most of my stuff, i would like a staged UPS
that could power off
the least important stuff first (tied
to mains, monitors, speakers)
then allow enough
time for shutdown of other
things (possibly using shunts
to measure load) and let maybe 1 server stay up and networking gear
mircea_popescu: airtight would be expensive. well aerated,
that's easy.
mircea_popescu: ckang, "rtg" is how soviets used
to power
their satellites. put a chunk of cesium or plutonium next
to some electric contacts.
mircea_popescu: takes a while
to eat
that much ; but yes, if your power outages are days rather
than hours,
this needs a generator system associated.
mircea_popescu: the numbers are worth
the mention : if you get 500 old
truck/high power car batteries, literally, and you put
them in 4 lines (gets about 49 - 50V or so), you now have somewhere in
the range of 500 * AT LEAST 50 Ah in your hands.
that's 25 KWh for
the more common measure.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: ckang: You could always get your own
turbine and go off
the grid if you prefer something different.
Turbine isn't picky about fuels.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't deepcycle it.
that's why you pile a lot of
them.
ckang: i feel like
trying
to buy something like
that would bring all sorts of 3 letter agencies
to my place
BingoBoingo: It is as maintenance free as such a
thing can be
ckang: whats
this used for? im
thinking more of a digital solution
BingoBoingo: Similar
things are used
to power light houses, radio beacons, and space probes
BingoBoingo: ckang: You
take a source of radioactive decay and hook a
thermocouple up
to it. Smoke detector means you harvest
the emiters from
the smoke detectors for your decay source.
ckang: not familiar with
that one
BingoBoingo: ckang: If your wattage needs aren't incredible you could always go
the smoke detector RTG route
ckang: yea
thats what I was planning on
mircea_popescu: they generally can be found very cheap, with a lot of life left in
them (that it useful
to you, in a 500 item arrangement, but not
to
the single-item cars)
ckang: or find a bring your own battery solution but didnt find much available last
time i looked
ckang: ive been wanting
to spin my own UPS/BMS
ckang: maybe european
telco :)
ckang: yea 48 is
the only
thing i could
think of close
ckang: volts? kind of an odd #,
telco ?
mircea_popescu: that
they're
the sort of fucktard who WASNT CULLED, yes ?
they "stuck with him", yes ?
mircea_popescu: what he does is observe
that out of his 10mn or w/e list, 9.999 million were culled off in
t1. fine. WHATEVER!!!.
there's still 10`000 left yes ? what do we know about
them ?
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: then at
t1
the item went
through some phenomena
that'd have repelled all
thinking individuals.
mircea_popescu: also,
to belabour
the point : anyone who
thinks "oh,
that guy, really, cure hiv and diabethes ? he must have lost it". NO HE DID NOT ; you understood nothing of
the logreading you did so far!
think about it :
this dood had built self "a brand", ie,
there were however many useless muppets who knew who he was / kept
track / had him in
their rss feed / he had
them in his mailing list.
this was
t0.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wasn't
that bugpowder ? << It was herbi, bugpowder was gone by
then. unless herbi was a
tulpa of bugpowder
mircea_popescu: build an ideal social system, lose language. or rather -- language dragontails
the shit out of your nonsense.
mircea_popescu: then
they're stuck communicating what should have been fucking communicated by
the workings of money in
the economy
through other channels. "backpage is color sextraficking and
that "very exciting genetic blabla" company is color doubleplusungood and so fucking on.
there's no more useless, stupid and soon
to be bankrupt, because
http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ mircea_popescu: the inescapable fact
that in
the bubble of insanity resting atop fed's imaginary money a company
that spends a
trillion
to make a
trillion is in fact an EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD investment (and google is NOTHING ELSE
than
this,
to be clear, nor are any of
the rest of
them) will result in
the necessary evolution where "here, i've made an imaginary company
that
trades a
trillion with "real people". problem ?
mircea_popescu: and it was,
too, for a few years before
the dood cracked and went on
the pipe it was hot stuff.
mircea_popescu: basically it's an extension of
the groupon scam (hey, anyone "excited" by
the "perspectives" of usg's "business" and "entrepreneuriat" ever
think of groupon anymore ?
that whole hype bubble of "global warming" / "ozon depletion" whatever popped and... ??? )
a111: Logged on 2018-04-20 02:39 mircea_popescu: understand how
the empire of idiots' euphemism
threadmill works :
they noticed
that you go by
the heuristic of "published holes", and
they've adapted
to
that (because
that's what
the idiots are all about, "Exam
taking", ie optimizing for
the measurement not for
the variable measured). so,
they keep publishing strainers and calanders, except
the sort where YOU don't know
the holes. it gives you
the warm fuzzy feeling

mircea_popescu: by
this strike of genius, you can now be left with
the impression
that you're in business, selling
things.
to yourself -- which is
the fucking point, all
the imperial scams work by your selling
things
to yourself, from facebook
to "rule of law".
mircea_popescu: he gave 100% rebates. sell $5000 "worth of" imaginary (but "very valuable") "products" of an absent "industry", get $5000 of
the sale back as commission!
mircea_popescu: so check out
this dood's idea : he figured out (correctly)
that
the mistake every other utahian/scammer in
the mlm / online sales&marketing field makes is, chiseling
the pennies.
this prevents
their growth. so instead of forcing people
to buy $50 worth of
thin air and keeping 35 out of it,
to be distributed in astonishingly pained and complicated ways,
