jurov: or should i say fuck it?
mircea_popescu: i am, and for years have been, destroying the usg through everett's device.
jurov: for example i'm recently considering to close coinbr, it would simplify my life considerably as it tends to desync from mpex at the worst possible times
mircea_popescu: because wtf do i care about rsa ?
asciilifeform: all of the 'stop caring' theory really resolves to it, as i understand
mircea_popescu: they pretend to be wilde, shaw and i dun recall who.
asciilifeform: no but i can easily picture where this goes
mircea_popescu: no but seriously... spend some time doing SOMETHING OTHER than what you're doing ? dude, if i thought this is a good idea... i would just stop doing what i;m doing. that day. forever. wtf.
jurov: when i was a kid i have imagined adults fulfill their desires in some secret magical way, so that they don't eat cake all the time
mircea_popescu: i never did that.
asciilifeform: can't imagine what i might possibly want, if had that
asciilifeform: i, for instance, am fixated on free time and escape from workschwitz
mircea_popescu: i suspect every youthful generation's conviction the previous people are dumb and generally suck has a lot to do with this.
mircea_popescu: well... i guess. more akin to "boy sees no use for veggies, they're getting in the way of cake"
asciilifeform: but i think i see where mircea_popescu is going, this is the old 'thirsty man thinks he can drink the sea' theorem
mircea_popescu: yeah i dunno why you'd be walking with weighs, big calves aren't particularly in demand.
asciilifeform: aha but still this involves more housework than walking with weights, i'd imagine ?
mircea_popescu: not what i meant. depends on what variant one entertains etc, but there is such a thing where the slave's the slave throughout the day, do what she may.
asciilifeform: i don't even sadomasochate but i always assumed that it was a hobby like any other
asciilifeform: if i show a picture of, e.g., chess players, what , viewer will assume that they play from dawn to dusk until they drop, and while cleaning the house, eating, shitting ?
mircea_popescu: i know plenty of people who think exactly this.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if we must have an aesop, someone who wasn';t ever gavin might imagine things about how being gavin is.
asciilifeform: i immediately thought that this picture was not intended to represent 'typical day in the life' but rather is a boschian thing
asciilifeform: i can't even tell, what is she doing
mircea_popescu: ah ah. but i was discussing recreational whipping not educational whipping.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't believe in externalities. so, no.
asciilifeform: i can only assume that if this 'engine redline' is held for long enough, mircea_popescu will throw the chick back into the wild, or otherwise expel
asciilifeform: and here i was breaking my brain.
asciilifeform: am i thick?
mircea_popescu: just like any teenaged slut in argentina that i stick my cock into for the time being ?
ben_vulpes: shinohai: i want the http://www.mortarinvestments.eu/products/jeeps,-trucks-a-motos-3/ats-59-artillery-tractor-275 artillery tractor
asciilifeform: what did i predict.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i lolled.
asciilifeform: but i don't expect to live to see this.
asciilifeform: i mean yes, in the abstract, the fella deserves to start at nuremberg2 and flayed
asciilifeform: i have nfi what he does all day, but i would bet against any of it involving commute, office, or work
BingoBoingo: From what I understand lasers and mirrors
asciilifeform: i won't link to the newzcrud because atrocious
mod6: i think we did too.
asciilifeform: i could've sworn we had this thread
mod6: finally figured out, I think, what the weird problem is with vdiff on ubuntu with that unmached quote.
asciilifeform: the old one will not be seen again, i suspect.
asciilifeform: just as i predicted.
BingoBoingo: If you insist I'll dig up the least obnoxious one
trinque: yep, I've got a gentoo-buildinator that works more than once
asciilifeform: i did this 1,001 times prolly.
asciilifeform: i built a 'rotolinux' that boots from cd, and i think trinque (?) did similar
mircea_popescu: pff. besides the fucking point. what i am saying is that a) you download source from current linux repo ; b) you built it on random gcc you have installed and c) lol.
mircea_popescu: i think it is built out of duct tape and spit, and the process is not reproducible outside of sheer luck.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-02-2016#1402950 << spiffy. i got no answer from blaze, thus far ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 11-02-2016 17:40:11; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, i'd be much surprised if you can compile current linux on gcc, either

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think everybody here knows what 100kline shitstack feels like, on own skin
mircea_popescu: i would bet you it would take less than a day, but i don't want to delete all this porn etc.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is a testament of how little i do.
mircea_popescu: but in terms of worx... it WORKS. i can do anything i do on it.
mircea_popescu: and i didn't even look at multiple, just picked one. lemme see what it is.
asciilifeform: but i am still collecting x60s, and if mircea_popescu has extras i will buy !
mircea_popescu: i mostly use it to watch movies, and i have a strict "700mb format only" policy so... works ok for me!
asciilifeform: i will also point out that stockpiles only go so far.
asciilifeform: i guess the example i have here fell 1,001 times.
mircea_popescu: the one i bought is solid as a rock and i have a pile of spare batteries for it too.
asciilifeform: i was just buying thinkpads!
mircea_popescu: of course i fucking see it.
mircea_popescu: i do not!
asciilifeform: where do i go from linux ?
mircea_popescu: in ~principle~ the fact i can't compile the kernel with any random compiler i wrote myself is an argument that linux = windows, ftr.
mircea_popescu: i would guess they'll hurry up to pack it up before ben_vulpes' nude amazon charge shows up
BingoBoingo: This one's waiting while I watch Oregon to see if this morning brings news
BingoBoingo: I might get something on that out later today.
mircea_popescu: and because they're all bound by the same ideology, it is trivial to produce the i they can never print ; whereas because they are all subject ot the same pressure, it is nigh on impossible for dA vs dB to be anywhere as large as i.
mircea_popescu: perfectly legitimate and certainly useful behaviour - not least of all because automated systems as well as most people will select X out of a set of A=B=C=D, X = A+i.
mircea_popescu: "The startups move to our private compound for 3 months, during which time we work intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to potential new members." <<< i hope they apply the bivolaru tradition
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-02-2016#1402686 << it is vaporware lol. weren't they going to release something "right next week" for the past... i dunno, 6months ? ☝︎
punkman: I bet they have 3 teams of "usability" experts.
punkman: they have volume control on soundcloud.com, but there's this radio show I listen to, they started embedding soundcloud recently and there's no volume control on it. and of course there is no way to find the embedded tracks on their soundcloud profile.
danielpbarron: i bet on there being a brokered convention last timme
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Brokered convention? Could be very interesting. I won't pledge to bet it without seeing the form it takes
punkman: asciilifeform: .. << turing-complete vtron or bust << I'll get there eventually. Though, I think the standard unified-diff representation is useful even if patchons consisting of script are available.
assbot: Logged on 11-02-2016 06:56:52; punkman: in other nyooz, made some progress on punkdiff. I added file deletions without including the deleted lines in the diff. Now working on sane renaming, but I'm thinking it might be better to have renames represented as (copy a to b)+(delete a).

ben_vulpes: things i recall:
ben_vulpes: punkman: i wish i remembered more, or could effectively dig up the thread
danielpbarron: i rememer that one, and it related to mining needing to take up enormous physical space in order to scale
punkman: but can I buy a loongson with it?
ggggg: lol ... I am more alt less btc
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu one well-massaged class of super-NP complexity classes is PSPACE - and i distinctly recall a proof that the mega-game 'sokoban' is PSPACE-complete.
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/TUZ3hZ7.jpg <<< must have this shirt
asciilifeform: (who remembers?? 'i was never a sc4mz0r, but now you called me one, and thereby i now lack the money to fill $promise' )
assbot: Logged on 11-02-2016 01:47:54; punkman: "To whom it may concern: The previous management was not able to generate enough income to pay the bills for the expenses of running 2ch. Previously I allowed some autonomy to them. During that time my name has been slandered. The ability for 2ch to generate enough income to stay open was damaged. I hope that with proper management that 2ch can recover."
mircea_popescu: by "godfather sort of deal" i mean specifically http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300594 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Today I learned Gavin Assassinen is on the city council https://archive.is/XXyKh
BingoBoingo: I can finally replace wound spring for keeping me standard time
BingoBoingo: I just found out that apparently using a radio telescope pointed at a pulsar for a time source is something actually being done.

mircea_popescu: punkman i asked them to either support bitcoin or do a one time deal for me. they were going to get back, never did.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, the fiat deck of cards will endure because... i dunno, everyone will promise to not take a shit on it and also uphold that promise. sounds workable :D
danielpbarron: idk i found it on twatter
mircea_popescu: but as best i can discern, any sort of "resistance movement" would be in the sense of "we'll do the raping and pillaging ourselves, who are these foreign derps" rather than "we'll defend the shithole".
mircea_popescu: there's no stopping the cleansing, i dun think.
