mircea_popescu: anyway, that's what "2005" means in this context, "when lenovo got the brand".
mircea_popescu: famously rms claims to have been using one ; which claim was meanwhile experimentally falsified here.
mircea_popescu: which turns out to be a much higher bar than the general population realises, and experimentally reduces to the various thinkpads of the end of ibm / start of lenovo era.
mircea_popescu: walter__ the 2005 was just a reference to something i mentioned, iirc in a discussion with asciilifeform ; it's not an exact date (fwiw i use ts etc). but the idea is - a laptop which runs with no binaries whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: ^ subject of some discussion, he didn't come up with it.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck is va' fa'n culo spelled as one word with a double f ? cosi fan' tutte is not cosiffantutte ?
mircea_popescu: i've watched about a half hour of tv total since seinfeld.
mircea_popescu: kinda been going like that, 2015 > 2014 then 2016 > 2015
mircea_popescu: what's with mats thinking random spamsites have anything to do with the world.
mircea_popescu: incidentally i'd say the arrangement as present is also the right thing. bot should send raw bytes ; wwwtron should send escape codes.
mircea_popescu: i am persuaded phf is right : bot is sending raw bytes, log is displaying unicode points as escape codes.
mircea_popescu: a111 log ðŸ†if ðŸ†if a111 ðŸ�†if site bv site ðŸ�†if
mircea_popescu: other than "unicode is fucking evil" i have no moral from this wasted hour.
mircea_popescu: just did a hexdump on the logfile. the relevant portion "or ðŸ†if" reads hexdump or ðŸ†if0000000 726f c320 c2b0 c29f c28d 6986 0066
mircea_popescu: which is why the belief that a111 mangles something. because otherwise how is my irc client distinguishing ?
mircea_popescu: but my same client does NOT misreport OTHER instances of "🍆" as " �" when they are ~not~ spoken by a111
mircea_popescu: so : for ~some reason~ my client reports a111 as saying " �" whereas the webpage reports it as saying "🍆"
mircea_popescu: the other one only appears pasted by me. so apparently i have an issue whereby unicode transforms into bs.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes</a>: heh, today i learned the unitards are so fully vested in the anti-sex brigade that U+1F346 or 🍆if my client doesn't mangle it
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu</a>: except it isnt : the website shows �if whereas a111 says 🍆. these two will appear the same in the btcbase log, but i trust you see them different in terminal ?
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu</a>: ðŸ vs ðŸ << from your source.
mircea_popescu: U+1F346 or &#xF0;&#x9F;&#x8D;&#x86;if << pasted from... archive.is version of btcbase log
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: heh, today i learned the unitards are so fully vested in the anti-sex brigade that U+1F346 or 🍆if my client doesn't mangle it << pasted from page source of the log
mircea_popescu: it was expected to say (in part) : U+1F346 or C3B0C5B8EFBFBDE280A0if
mircea_popescu: it just said (in part) : U+1F346 or C3B0C29FC28DC286if
mircea_popescu: not the right bytes, not even the right byte count, and now i suspect this is enough for priviledge escalation in a111 or any other item which uses the same unicode libs.
mircea_popescu: except it isnt : the website shows ðŸ�†if whereas a111 says ðŸ†. these two will appear the same in the btcbase log, but i trust you see them different in terminal ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this all started because ben_vulpes sent unicode for /augergine/ which was displayed differently by btcbase.org and a111 in channel.
mircea_popescu: so now, you're telling me the XY vs XZ line happens because... i pass latin-1 ? then why is Z there.
mircea_popescu: in the case you tested, yes. in the case i tested, the log seems to, judging by the www part, but the bot quoting in chan doesn't, judging by the transform. like :
mircea_popescu: this self-licking icecream cone has the capacity to keep coders entertained for multiple lifetimes.
mircea_popescu: phf there seem to be 3 layers of manglizing. yours above i saw both as a square with numbers, so i suspect your irc client fucks it up ; mine above is fucked up differently (looks like byte-interpreted rather than unicode) and then the scarfer/www displayer prints them out correctly but a111 reads them eggog'd.
mircea_popescu: ever seen one of those tiny ballot making sucker things ? get your leaves packaged ready to go into compost.
mircea_popescu: blowers are the most fucking retarded nontool, above even kitchen robots. (which no, aren't "work saving", competent woman beats it out of water in all domestic cases).
mircea_popescu: or why diesel subs still use electric engines to power the shaft.
mircea_popescu: which is why diesel-electric trains still go to this day.
mircea_popescu: the odd truth is that electric engines are much better at small and high loads. the combustion engine has it's niche, but it's strictly car sized.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (to properly math 3.3*745.7 = 2460.81 watts of work for 47 * 10**6 / 2.20462 / 3600 = 5921.90742874 watts of burned off fuel. that's 41.5% which is still pretty remarkable, around the upper bound for a large 4stroke.)
mircea_popescu: supposedly 3.3 hp/lb/hr, which translated from the idiotic idiotarian units would be over 50% efficiency.
mircea_popescu: and the whole scam of "well they will listen if we run in front of them and try to guess which way they're headed and pretend to be pointing exactly that way ourselfes first so there nyah!" only goes so far. eventually they start going really stupid ways, such as.
mircea_popescu: that the niggers won't listen to usg is one thing - they get the TB treatment (body reaction to koch's bacile is to build walls, literally of calcar, around bacile ghettos in the lungs). who cares, 10% of the pop and concentrated in the poor south / poor urban areas. but by now the hippies don't listen either ? young whites ? that's becoming dangerous.
mircea_popescu: it's very strictly speaking a transfer of raw, unadulterated power from the bureaucrats to random anonymous gurus and other populist figures. that trump stole hillary's cake is one thing ; but that the ability of usg department to dictate discrete behaviour in regards to whatever topic is decaying because the ability of joe videoblogger's ability to dictate same is increasing... now that smarts.
mircea_popescu: in the end, through whatever means, they do the same thing, and the problem is slowly growing and getting noticed. just another one of the countless and uncountable ways in which the us becomes ungovernable for the usg.
