BingoBoingo: I suspect its in the local building code next to asado Fridays at every construction site.
asciilifeform: perhaps asciilifeform oversaturates the colours, here, but i blame pete_d and his type for the fact that yes you can buy a diamond-encrusted ipnoje for 200k but you cannot buy a fits-in-head comp even for 200mil.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm not the least bit surprised, given overall pattern -- fella won't buy anyffin that can't be easily paraded, exhibited, to other aesthetowankers over tea
asciilifeform: quite typical, imho, example of the pathologies described by tlp. 'if i buy this 8th rolex, will finally feel like Troo Elite' etc
asciilifeform: a peacock man. perhaps the peahens find to be interesting, but i admit -- do not
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I check in occasionally to see how North USistan is doing
asciilifeform: seems like i didnt miss much
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol, i confess that i mostly stopped reading the d00d
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there ever was quite such a spurious "culture". or w/e we'd call it.
BingoBoingo: I've seen a handful here. Locally grown.
mircea_popescu: sleigh of hand, possibly. also, exit. human body's remarkably... how shall i put this, it has a peculiar relationship with non-existenc.e
asciilifeform: i.e. sleight of hand magicks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect ~these~ are like the old 'yoga masters' of india, who claimed to eat nuffin at all
asciilifeform: nao otoh last week i saw a slug that was fully 4x the size of his slugbrethren. nao, ~that~ impressive. but this, what is there to be impressed by.
asciilifeform: i expect it's structured exactly like other usg.'foundations'
mircea_popescu: and why is he speaking from this position of authority, " I also posted to communicate the timeline ", who the fuck is he, me ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have nfi, prolly the current ian murdoch or whoever
mircea_popescu: i could keep on forever -- old one, had directly accessible screen resolution switcher. new one -- does not, so that if (for instance!) your settlers 4 wine installation fucks the screen leaving it in 800x600 mode upon closure, either you know to xrandr -q xrandr --output --mode directly, or else you reboot. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i had nfi.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in another angle : i have here next to each other two modern ubuntus : one modern in 2018 (v 18.04), the other modern about five years prior (v 10.04). the sheer pile of utility and usability loss! old one has "bring up desktop" button. new one does not. old one has taskbar on the bottom, wherein one can drag item to a different task, and the task will pop up (so you can drop a file in a terminal). new one -- doe
mircea_popescu: that chick, the hepatitis walflower. present day african, the "maybe i'll be a writer" white female. not even white trash, but "middle class"
mircea_popescu: i meant debrah mayo and her brood.
mircea_popescu: i expect once we're done butchering the supernumeraries, we'll mostly hang our about the artic circle
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the folx with family reactors, i suppose, and a fondness for ski sport
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm guessing some lords are going to camp at latitudes with some sort of winter.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-08 15:02 asciilifeform: the 'good climate makes folx lazy and slowly climbing 'back up to trees' ' item is an old saw, but i'm not aware of any major hole in the theory
asciilifeform: i suspect tho, that if there actually ~were~ 500k, would get exactly what went on the last time there were 500k, all hang out on equator and eat from trees, indistinguishable from monkey ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but at least they got the willy wonka / warhol hairdo going. i mean... i guess it's something. right ? very weird hair ? grows from head ? in limine, intellectual production ? no ?
mircea_popescu: and cornell's a notorious lolcow farm. and i don't teach HTWAWAOTSWCLR 101, thus "We learn from our mistakes. Few would take issue with this disctum. If it is more than merely a cliche, then it wouldseem of interest to epistemologists to inquire how knowledge is obtained from mistakes or from error." results in 62. Nicholas Rescher loses to Rudolf Carnap by 140–8, loses to Deborah Mayo by 38–27 Alan Musgrave loses to
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, dude (carnap i mean) is probably the thing all the g. supran subhumans perceive as their "truly truthiful undergirth", genuinely academic and intellectual because not-from-america and-we-dont-talk-about-that etc.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman cornell being intelemanctual, i guess.
asciilifeform: there's nearly 200gram of fly, i think, nao
mircea_popescu: ~same. "I'd like to give that opportunity to up to 10 groups/companies/people through patreon." or w/e.
asciilifeform: if i had an undergrad penal battalion, would assign it hw to write script which simulates this critter.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall, nfi.
asciilifeform: i recall this. also another oddity, it wouldn't insert anyffin
mircea_popescu: i suspect this might've been one of the candidates that didn't make it for... recall i was auditioning for whores to do some reading or the other at some point ? ended up with this high energy brunette
mircea_popescu: a right, wouldn't write on them or something, i dun recall. might've been one of the earliest
mircea_popescu: i dunno, iirc she just showed up started talking some day
asciilifeform: i think so
BingoBoingo: Aite, some sort of cyclone is supposed to hit here tonight. Alerta Naranja to the west, but only Alerta Amarilla here in the city. Advertised wind speeds aren't anything impressive by Midwest standards, but figured I'd offer notice. Not often that the supermarket lines are this long during the middle of the month.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 23:04 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz: Linux >= 2.6.29... ... A sequence of SACKs may be crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic i.e. 'packet'o'death'.
mircea_popescu: i guess the logical summation of this would be that we all sit down and make a pact
asciilifeform: i'ma have to do this chore aint i. on top of errything.
mircea_popescu: and no, i am not AT ALL happy about it. quite the opposite, in fact.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz: Linux >= 2.6.29... ... A sequence of SACKs may be crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic i.e. 'packet'o'death'. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( lancaster's, that i ate , was considerably smaller, iirc no moar than 200MB , and did not need anyffin like all of it . )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 17:36 asciilifeform: ( my sim -- converged!11 -- when i fed it... don lancaster's geiger rng tarball. )
asciilifeform: ftr i have nuffin against public rng per se, one of which i used to good effect, albeit naturally not for crypto, in early 2000s ☝︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty, I new I missed a lulzy linkable
mircea_popescu: i'm just sitting around all day wondering why nobody can have any good shit. why ~EXACTLY~.
mircea_popescu: i don't come up with this shit because i have a very peculiar sense of humour, or for some sort of art project, or because i'm fucking bored some evening.
asciilifeform: this is tru, i dun have a perfect circle on my desk either
asciilifeform: i dunno where exists this frictionless horse, the market with no entry cost. at the very least one needs working legs (or , in mechanized market, a working comp & net pipe ) neh
hanbot: lol show me a market sometime, i'd love to see it! :D
mircea_popescu: i guess so ?
asciilifeform: i'm not 100% sold, but haven't with what to seriously disagree, so will buy
hanbot: mircea_popescu, zero mention of btc anywhere on paxum.com. there's pax*ful*, i guess. for some reason lists market price at a 9% discount, iono what kind of "market" it can be.
mircea_popescu: i suspect equivocation on 'Centralized"
asciilifeform: hanbot: i suspect that the entire idea of centralized bulletin board for 'buy & sell coin' is as intrinsically usgistic as that of a gox (i.e. centralized coin/fiat exchange). it makes for an irresistible target, and is why all to date eventually were killed & replaced w/ honeypot taxidermy of self
BingoBoingo: Throwing out how the world appears to work as I understand it for the readers because I have the good fortune of having good reader who can rattle me closer to correctness if I am too far off
BingoBoingo: I was without power for a few hours.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have power, Uruguay in general has power, rack appears to have never lost power.
mircea_popescu: i guess #metoo actually says it all.
mircea_popescu: nah, it cycled later. peaked in the 90s. will be i nthe same hole 2025ish
BingoBoingo: I suspect "la criticaron" when used by Mujica is him trying to sell his socialism as Frenchish
BingoBoingo: I suspect some sort of exhibition or maybe the Harlem globetrotters misrepresented as the NBA. Worst NBA team versus national champion Aguada could be pretty lulzy
mircea_popescu: sure, one might preserve them, as museums. but i wouldn't wanna live in the house a rich jew from 1819 built for himself and his family anymore than i'd wanna live in the mote & baily some never-washed briton built for the ugly lass he broke his prick in
diana_coman: I don't think I actually know of ANY orchard as I'd want it in whole Romania, myeah.
diana_coman: renovated old buildings so I'd assume they actually have that sort of thing but admittedly I haven't actually visited any of those myself (and fwiw afaik wineyards or woods rather than orchards)
mircea_popescu: (notwithstanding that i do not believe the item described physically exists in this whole oregon, because the locals are monkeys)
mircea_popescu: i guess other trees might work, but certainly not fucking "prodution" apple or other 3 meter tall lolshits
mircea_popescu: ideally what i'd want would be 16 or so hectare's worth of wel ldrained soil on calcarous substrate, moderatelly hilly, covered in walnut or mixed cherry planted 20 meters apart sometime around 1970 ; within 20 miles of a main road but not closer than 5.
asciilifeform without even being mircea_popescu , in the past negotiated 'i'll rent this if you put in x, y, z' leases
mircea_popescu: you can not rent the hosue i'd build for any money. mostly because nobody generally includes half inch thick steel rings in the little girls' basement cellrooms
mircea_popescu: as i said, was ~entertaining~
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu rented errywhere, i.e. nowhere actually +ev to own the walls
mircea_popescu: and don't ask me how this is possible. i have nfi how it is possible. i agree it violates basic economic laws.
mircea_popescu: unless i rent a mall... and honestly, the shit here is not worth owning.
asciilifeform: hm i thought mircea_popescu already did this last mo
mircea_popescu: anyways, i was entertaining vague "why not buy a few acres of orchard somewhere, plant down a haremhous". but i'm now thoroughly disabused of a notion
asciilifeform: i suspect bottom also left, those toilets in germany won't polish themselves
mircea_popescu: i suspect demographic collapse is at the root of it. by the end of 90s, about half of the top first percentile had left the country.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. hangs out with nicoleci 's described "matress store" consisting of a piling of matresses and an old woman in a room
mircea_popescu: i could go on, but it's not worht anyone's time. call them centrul preorasenesc "romania", si mai da-i si-n pula.
asciilifeform: ( must save/load'em when calling unix to drive console i/o, disk, etc. when under a unix, but on bare irons not even this )
asciilifeform: i.e. ffa-style mux for the sim-branch clockwork.
asciilifeform: incidentally when asming on amd (possibly intel also, but i threw out my intel datashits..) can hand-crank the cache when desired.
asciilifeform: it won't even astonish asciilifeform if in the end finds out that purely-interpreter algo actually clocks faster on recent (10y) pc irons than 'dynamic'. cuz fits in l0 cache and dun rewrite executable pages (i.e. dun blow the cache erry time it farts)
asciilifeform: ever tried to read bellard's 'qemu' ? i dunno if decade would be enough to eat it, trb-style, even if did nuffin else.
mircea_popescu: i think you have a point, re compiles.
asciilifeform: notably, i reject bellard's approach to emuism , where he 'dynamically recompiles' . imho it aint worth the 9000x moar complex clockwork.
asciilifeform: if folx come up with serious use for item outside of piz shared cluster (where it is imho direly needed) i'ma also do a 64bit mips at some pt.
asciilifeform: in next vacation i'ma wrap it up & genesis.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 13:29 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917019 << i'ma describe, for the l0gz, the hypothetical. suppose mips emu in asm ( the heathen item in fact compiles to a 30kB elf , not esp. complex, but would want clean rewrite really ). this'd be proggy that takes disk image and it tx/rx raw frames to/from nic, so can have own ip etc. then 1 large amd box can host coupla 100 instances of mips linux from known image. <1s teardown/bringup.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dood... lame joke re intromission. what can i do.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other news, https://i.imgur.com/yloPWi5.jpg
asciilifeform: diana_coman: funnily enuff i did not even get to take 'graphics' at uni (it ended up choice b/w it and 'operating systems', went with the latter) but i did at one pt eat the classic hughes, foley & van dam b00k
diana_coman: fwiw I must say that it's precisely this "let's paint the fence" approach that put me off computer graphics in the first place because my uni taught nothing else and I foolishly believed them that there was nothing better either.
diana_coman: myeah, except I'm no graphics expert (and the pile of burnt is already big)
