asciilifeform: it is not difficult to corral folx who have deeply nfi what they're doing or why. just as farmer has no problem with corralling bull, despite the latter weighing 10x of him
mircea_popescu: ~this~ is the fundamental reason the tsar got killed ; lenin isn't so much a "bolshevik" as he is a decadent, in this proper sense : "by fucking god ima hang all of you", spoken 1890.
mircea_popescu: this led to a strict rejection of "modern science" and "the rational process", thereby implicitly of "modern democracy" (it was just as modern then, too) and so forth.
mircea_popescu: no. late 1800s, it became evident, just as today, that the emperor is thoroughly naked.
mircea_popescu: obviously inca has no problem losing out the one thing that can sorta-maybe fix smart people in trouble. what it needs is something entirely else ; as everywhere else across the vast field of possibility.
asciilifeform: as with all good explanatory hypotheses, this one resolved several puzzlers in asciilifeform's head in one shot (e.g. 'why did the open-whatever folx accept being corralled into soresforge to begin with' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this theory was , afaik, pretty much as tested as anything could ever be, and stood. consider how su turned to old toiletpaper just as soon as the last ww2-hardened folx retired from running it
mircea_popescu: the reason wife exposure (as discussed in say http://trilema.com/2018/le-salaire-de-lidiotie/ ) WORKS is specifically because the harsher the world treats her, the more independent she gets.
asciilifeform: technically the neg rule not even invoked in this case, as the subscriber is mircea_popescu ; he can do whatever he feels like with the thing.
asciilifeform: but as it is i can't summon any interest
BingoBoingo: But, I can't be arsed to watch anything other than the last 10 minutes of the games as they happen. I hear what I hear.
hanbot: afaik because in thailand the ladyboys work at it, diligently and purposefully. where as Joe vonCan'tStackIt here prolly goes around in lumberjack plaids religiously checking the "M" box
mircea_popescu: so... win-win, as they say.
lobbes: Sure. Best case as I see it is: mebbe d00d reads in silence for couple years, then, once not-20-years-old and able to grok, comes back and does productive things. Probably won't happen, but ya never know.
mircea_popescu: !!rate douchebag -1 as it turns out, the more elaborate effort one puts into distinguishing gold from sand, the more elaborately sandy sand the one ends up with. gold is irrespectively evident on the first pass. ☟︎
hanbot: meanwhile i accidentally stumbled on TLP's return as it might look through the brainpan of elliot rodgers, oodles of cringe for anyone in need of a little sharpening for the ol' misanthropic awl: http://archive.is/AIaGN
asciilifeform: this last bit, made it possible for this box to be used ( until, reportedly, as late as 2007 ) for crypto.
asciilifeform: summary : su made a pdp-11 that 1) ran on 20 milliampere 2) included such things as a... supercapacitor ( i had nfi that even 1 of these was ever made in su ) that powers the sram ( yes ) for ~15 minutes~ during batt swap.
BingoBoingo: Not quite as much so as the sticky stuff in pete land, but not exactly pipe friendly
mircea_popescu: on the otherhand, but just as amusing, the simple and plainly evident fact that period europe consisted of ~way~ the fuck more people who couldn't stand jews than of people who liked hitler is, somehow, not much of a subject for the pomposity calling itself "scholarship". really, this happenstance doesn't happen to be at all interesting, somehiw ?
mircea_popescu: ah there it is, Leopold Frankenberger, the 19yo son of the jewish family where the 40yo grandmother worked as a cook. this is ~about what i recalled.
mircea_popescu: owing on one hand to the extreme cheapness of building materials and on the other hand to the absolutely beaslty notions of southern socialism, as to the "rights" the scum has.
asciilifeform: i suppose 'heretic sat here' is as good excuse as any, for demolition
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's nearly as rare as you think.
asciilifeform: upstack, pete_d might qualify as example. i still have nfi what his problem was.
mircea_popescu: as naggum well put it, "have a kid or two, a start-up or two, an ambulance ride or two, suddenly your imaginary independence you sacrificed your youth for is nowehre in sight"
mircea_popescu: these are all plied specifically as ways to plug the printing press circuitry, lest it leaks.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform rowed in the same galley as him, for a while under his command )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: diametric ? last i knew, he had too many childrenz, went to the same bottom of the sea as those folx tend to go to
mircea_popescu: it's true that it was geared towardsthe capacities and abilities of a presumptively independent republican lord, whereas you evidently need more hands-on tutoring and training. this isn't the end of the world, of course, but it is strictly uninteresting to me, as i expect to get a slavegirl out of that degree of involvement, and you don't pass the bioquals.
douchebag: Hey mircea_popescu, I'm going through a pretty difficult time in my life right now. I'm working a job that will not improve me as a person
asciilifeform: aside from golden toilet satellite gear makers, it seems to be the fpga folks who most concern with 'single event upset' ( term of art for this item ) , as a flipped bit in fpga config , even down on earth, routinely translates into magicsmokerelease
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3MEv is , if the satellite folx are to be believed, squarely above the boundary where enuff energy is transferred to flip bit , but not so much as to thermonuke the semiconductor
asciilifeform: 'may as well hang for a sheep as for lamb' lol
asciilifeform: hey if can get same result with a 100 $ co-60 capsule, as with 100k$ accelerator, it's a win
mircea_popescu: amusingly, 1980s vintage siemensen can be had for as little as 20k
asciilifeform: particle diddling is great , in theory, as there is not really a practical defense against it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly for the same reason as http://www.loper-os.org/bad-at-entropy/manmach.html
asciilifeform: i see it as elementarily more parsimonious , to suppose that d00d ( who in every other visible to us walk of life took the utmost laziest examtaker shortcut ) generated 71 btc addrs , and hired $ 5 camwhores , than the notion that 71 females in total have even touched bitcoin.
asciilifeform: glitches in mental model dun count as 'met', just like lsd eater dun really 'talk to god'
asciilifeform habituated to working with heuristics , and generally does not enjoy the luxury of operating as if errything were equally possible

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-15#1825631 << updated, but it's a novel way of using manifest though: normally it requires a regrind where manifest is built up as you go, so the press order is enforced through graph. right now your manifest gives a press order, that's not enforced by anything ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: for some reason abram gannibal didn't have to be explained quite to the degree obama had to. i wonder why, and especially curious as to any explanations besides http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729826 ☝︎
asciilifeform: that, or goat fucking, but it aint as if city bois had access to goats
mircea_popescu: the ustardian view of females and male sexuality is not a free idiocy. it costs. this is what it costs -- all sex is inhabituation and if you insist on inhabituating boys with anything other than joyous and readily offered female sexual service, as was the norm in europe, you get tentacles and racism and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: ie, "tentacle porn" consumers, possibly just as much "descend from usa troops in jp front".
mircea_popescu: there's an ancient german kiddie book i got as a kid, and it is 100% the story of propaganda.
mircea_popescu: not as a matter of preference, but as a matter of necessity, "i can't not buy their junk because that'd mean not sitting here"
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : current "italy" is essentially the western sponsored invasion by the savoyards. about as italian as the mexican government of texas is truly canadian.)
mircea_popescu: and speaking of the "twu wuv" bullshit : me opened yesterday http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/22642/pg22642-images.html ; on the very strong recommendation that d'annunzio actually is the dood mussolini copied, so as to give hitler a model of cool ~he~ could in turn copy. it's the original duce (of fiume), and really, the inventor of the whole personal-martial cool in degenerate euros.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, there's such a thing as "bitcoinbrat" on fetlife.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 14:52 asciilifeform: once i get another coupla cr50 boards , will try above method with a small twist ( spoiler : chinese pulse welder as the current source! new!111 original!11 )
mircea_popescu: it's /mɒ`təʊ/, to not leave it in mystery. for one fucking thing, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS /ō/ in english. nor, for that matter, ä.
mircea_popescu: someone asked gorgo once, "how come we all have to sit on pikes as long as the car ?" and gorgo once answered : Επειδή γαμώ την ράτσα σου
mircea_popescu: this is an encounter like between newton and his servant who didn't want to clean boots. newton OWNS his servant, as any other object. what battle ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't some kind of encounter like between german socialism, american socialism and russian socialism, who oh who will win in the end ? (because we know as a matter of necessity that two will ally against one, crush it, then once that's done a) import everything and b) go at each other).
asciilifeform: for cr50 in particular, a continuous (e.g. xray) rather than intermittent (emp shooter) glitcher might be preferable, as the thing has a convenient unlock command that you can fire via the uart continuously, then , theoretically, irradiate until it happens to skip the right instruction
asciilifeform: once i get another coupla cr50 boards , will try above method with a small twist ( spoiler : chinese pulse welder as the current source! new!111 original!11 ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: dun in the literature last night re chip 'glitching' . for some reason everybody, to date, focuses on glitching ~specific~ instruction, rather than scrambling sram bluntly. ( to be fair, the blunt approach is only of any conceivable use if you can pre-emplace the nop slide, as is apparently possible on cr50 ) ; state of the open lit art seems to be the 'xbox 360' pill demonstrated in 2015
mircea_popescu: it's very true that i'd have never given a shit had nobody said something to me about it on my blog ; but it's just as true that ~the reason~ i took that stance was specifically that someone ~was going to~ say something to me on my blog, about that as about anything else worth the note, because that's what i built it as for fucks' sake.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the actual finding was july 22nd 2011 (as per authentic & historically accurate http://trilema.com/2013/noob-mp-or-how-it-all-began/#selection-1437.0-1437.47 ), which is to say THE NEXT DAY. no fucking half week.
mircea_popescu: these went nowhere because a) not directly related to something i was working in at the time and b) not nearly as well respected source in my eyes -- though perhaps the order's reversed. in any case, it was very much "guy i know raised a sorta-objection to the completeness of my research which had to be remedied", and if one thinks the bias in such a context is ever anything but "get rid of it" that one's very naive indeed.
mircea_popescu: but, to put meat on http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-14#1825496 before cosmic rays fuck the wetware memory of it, the impetuus for c) was very much spyked, as per http://trilema.com/2011/economia-unui-joc-multiplayer-probleme/#comment-55648 ☝︎
asciilifeform: the rocket nozzle etc. plants , from what i hear, are in full throttle 'termite hollowing' mode as we speak, being sawed apart and carted away by various foreigners for fire sale prices
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824840 << why not save that shit for oh, iono, the DMV? do you tell the fucking IRS "i'll get to it when i get to it"? no, you stand in line/wait on hold for three hours, thrilled as fuck to say "urr, hurr, yes sir" at the endless tide of bullshit, then come here and practice what you should've said to them, to us? completely fucking misdirected. ☝︎
asciilifeform: weren't as recently as yesterday, the thread re btc exchange rates, that we're a fairly small target in fairly large galaxy ?
asciilifeform: trinque: d00d's a christian, as far as i can tell, possibly (or not , i am not equipped to discern) in the danielpbarron style
mircea_popescu: that's what it is : he wants, and thereby i know he was raped as a child.
mircea_popescu: no, he's lost soul because he wants to communicate. that upon so wanting he then proceeds to "sate" that want "as best can be done" is not even separable.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, the moment the idiocy he is protecting goes away, so goes away his perceived need for whatever "he got right" and there you sit, wondering, "hey, i taught you this a year ago, where did it go ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: and so this is the deep root of what i mean when i say "he didn't get anything right" : the ~only reason~ he included $republican-item in his soup is to support some other batshit insanity ; it's not a root but a frill for him -- as proven by the fact that were it root, it'd have rid him of the batshit he aims to hang on it.
asciilifeform: naggum's 'read only brains' , as valuable when aged as a burnt 2007 debian iso
mircea_popescu: aging in the republic, contrarywise, is the process whereby the cardinal of L and the length of some Ts shrinks, so as to remove as many Ts and T elements as possible.
mircea_popescu: aging in the wild, in this model, is the process whereby the cardinal of L and the length of individual Ts in that L grows, so as to avoid removing any of the initial Ts.
mircea_popescu: because this is how they age -- they become ever more elaborate in their idiocy. THIS is the deep meaning of "Interesting to see the bits he gets 'right' , such as no anonymity, but then to see him see him turn around and" : he didn't get anything right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, lobbes you're more patient than me. the only way i can interpret the sort of behaviour is in the bdsm terminology, as brats. and i can't fucking stand brats, not to mention they're the essential pinnacle of idiocy, "i know it dun work but it's more important that it's my dumb idea than that it works".
lobbes: Interesting to see the bits he gets 'right' , such as no anonymity, but then to see him see him turn around and say essentially "horde of sybils are okay, as long as each sybil pays subscription fee of $100"
trinque: I will update my original post with the former soon as I'm able, maybe tonight. that won't be "cuntoo", but it'll be enough to get assistance from other folks such as yourself to bring it to completion
lobbes: As for signature banners, seems like they have odd rules re: those; I think images aren't even allowed in sigs for $reasons
|\n: asciilifeform, i feel guilty for getting voiced manually without bringing 0days lol but should i attempt to spread the word across chinese people as well?
mircea_popescu: lol mod6 finds a new life as a gfx designer for the web
lobbes: Hey mod6, not urgent, but could you create a pizarro banner in an avatar ratio? As much as I like the beachdick avatar I made, it doesn't communicate 'ISP' very well. Here's the size it'd need to be >> https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_138230.png
mircea_popescu: item only ever existed as a child porn / assorted bizarro trading ring.
BingoBoingo: I suppose Qntra can put up a banner as well
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/06/german-government-divided-as-interior-minister-decides-to-skip-migrant-integration-summit/ << Qntra - German Government Divided As Interior Minister Decides To Skip Migrant Integration Summit
mod6: We intend to pay for the advertising, unless nosuchlabs wants to put it up for free as a friend.
mircea_popescu: well... maybe have them make something the same size as other items there ?
asciilifeform: same 'about to' as to mars, lol
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am similarly poorly equipped to speculate/trade, but now at recent lows strikes me as a bad time to convert btc to cash (unless it goes lower, ofc)
mircea_popescu: this movement'd have greatly benefited a hardware heavy isp (in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-04#1445680 ) ; it greatly hurts a forward-payments / unearned income isp as pizarro stands ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i mean, as far as anyone presently knows, 100% of all bitcoin trade consists of http://logs.minigame.biz/search/?q=total+bids
asciilifeform: hey, it isn't as if the academitards don't always create 'new' 'paper' via same foo | bar | baz template spammers use ( as posted in mircea_popescu's www on at least 1 occasion )
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record we agree -- price's way the fuck too high consider what the republic can provedly do as of yet.
mircea_popescu: i like how they say "the new", as if it's somehow a workable substitute for "the stupid"
mircea_popescu: scarcely worth the bother, that. "crypto"-x as in, "a crypto ad network" is totally another way of saying http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-in-argentina-exactly-nothing-to-do-with-the-derps/#selection-197.0-197.39 ; ie, "that website some kid made and meanwhile forgot about"
a111: Logged on 2018-06-13 20:29 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825006 << i'll certainly be very interested of hearing a yes/no to this, secretly even, because so far i've not been getting anywhere (as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824240 etc ). curious if perhaps im doing something wrong.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825076 << as far as i can tell, their Official policy is to never admit that the thing even exists ( aside from the src, which is gnarly enuff , i suppose , to 'not count' somehow ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825019 << i'm pretty sure that's the point, they can't afford pot but gotta be as spacey as proper californians to not burn down the entire fucking country. and so... ☝︎
