mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "CenturyLink Acquiring "Level 3" As Internet Transit Routes Consolidates" << consolidate ?
mircea_popescu: sure. none of which run stuff made this decade anyway.
mircea_popescu: from people who never ran servers, for people who never will run servers, with love & mucho concern.
mircea_popescu: that was the lulz of all time with systemd coupla years ago, the "selling point" of "faster boot times. for servers."
mircea_popescu: i dunno who cares about boot times, a machine that's booted isn't intended for serious use anyway
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf in my head, if the algo is correct but the problem too hard, then the problem is just too hard ; whereas if the algo is wrong for the problem, or badly implemented, then there's that. i suppose you could say "linear sort is dog slow", though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what, because you have a magic ball and know wtf he's looking at as he says that ?
mircea_popescu: i dun think that's the common meaning ; but if that's what you use, fair enuff.
mircea_popescu: as far as anyone knows, dog slow kinda means exactly that "irritatingly slow to me", to which "i don't feel any delays" is a valid counter.
mircea_popescu: my call times out, thereby let us point out to phf that what calling something a term of art means is that you have a ready and perfect definition of the term in the respective context. no exceptions.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Naturally there is *no way* that this introduction of the "baked in" line's introduction could have been coordinated." <
mircea_popescu: i suspect this list may not be entirely correct. looks autogenerated.
mircea_popescu: xilinx.e-technik.uni-rostock.de___139.30.202.12/ << lol!
mircea_popescu: odds are teh usg wrote its own imaginary emails in an outlook server, if you mean the recent thing.
mircea_popescu: the us does not have the intellectual capacity to develop new tools in general, and computing in particular. all they have is inherited, and everything they lose is irreplaceable.
mircea_popescu: what this has to do with their failure to obey the republic will, of course, never be documented.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the guy has it, the us lost air superiority sometime in 2010ish and lost cyber presence cca 2015. they're on par with serbia today.
mircea_popescu: "CIA is cyber B-Team, yes? Where is cyber A-Team?" << i lollered. where, they're gone, locked in alf's basement.
mircea_popescu: trinque wasn't waht i meant. just, your spring sprung too far s'all
mircea_popescu: should have prolly run uci on them rather. but of course no uci yet.
mircea_popescu: they're not speaking english. like you know, most females that a) ever get fucked and b) someone'd ever contemplate fucking
mircea_popescu: (in the process benefiting him by exposing bugs he dun know about)
mircea_popescu: they all live closeby too, because dun wanna commute until they get blinkenlichten, and so double kill.
mircea_popescu: ivanka can pick up phones until old man trump thinks she had enough, at which point wh gets its first secretary
mircea_popescu: first week, wifey can cook, once she's tired of it white house gets its first cook.
mircea_popescu: somehow they elide the obvious point that his right move, and his coherent with himself move, is to simply FIRE EVERYONE and then hire people as he perceives the need.
mircea_popescu: note in passing that one of the more substantial objections "people in the know" aka niggers raise to a trump presidency is that "he won't be able to staff wh, he could barely staff his campaign".
mircea_popescu: as ~everyone with two neurons to rub together has been disabused of this notion, the next guy who wants to change.org might as well point a nuke to the white house.
mircea_popescu: people somehow bought into this "public opinion as an aggregate of the supposed opinions of irrelevant individual cattle MATTERS!!1", and so we had wikileaks.
mircea_popescu: which is not even without merit : the next wikileaks may not leak words.
mircea_popescu: in the end, all this is an exact re-do of the "car ingnition control dun work" "hey it keeps the methheads at bay" "aokthen"
mircea_popescu: but if your industrial base dun suck, pu pile is still the more expensive part.
mircea_popescu: yes, all "costs", esp in the sense that if your industrial base sucks, you don't get one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem is that the deck is stacked so much against people. plutonium is like gold, inert chemically, very heavy, etc. it stands out in physical reality like a naked supermodel among a coder convention.
mircea_popescu: which is why modern-day banks are typically not even safe'd.
mircea_popescu: but the key factor there is that mines are not valuable.
mircea_popescu: you can't predict what i'll do, and you can't ensure against all the things i might do.
mircea_popescu: yes, but reality is more encompassing than engineering. so suppose i submerge the chest in fumaric acid and you lose.
mircea_popescu: golden toilet aside, the major expense is geting the clump of plutonium
mircea_popescu: this should be fucking evident, either they're biased or they're not biased.
mircea_popescu: also i have nfi how they imagine reality works, but in principle it's true that "the random process of nuclear decay is the gold standard of rngs" FOR THE REASON that you can't use arithmetics to distinguish one clump of radioactive substance from "another" clump.
mircea_popescu: pro tip : you can still jumpstart cars today as in 1916
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how they imagine physical security is to work in the hands of an adversary.
mircea_popescu: that dog ran 30mph for a solid 20 minutes until it fell on its face.
mircea_popescu: it made a bird friend! the bird would swoop in squaking, feet in front of the dog, who'd chase it like crazy, then once it's mommentum ran out the bird'd wingflap to the closest tree, rest a little and swoop again.
mircea_popescu: i watched yest the greatest thing ever. people took dog out to park, nice flat coated retriever. young, fulla life.
mircea_popescu: ima go pour myself a triple and write a scathing piece about fugazi and mackaye
mircea_popescu: come to think about it i'm getting fucking ridiculous over here, "oh, mp is against drugs and pot and doesn't watch porn and totally straightedge".
mircea_popescu: in which interval i doubt i watched a full hour of pronz.
mircea_popescu: well, i guess the livestream of my livingroom irl should count and that sorta thing. but i've not been following teh industry in just about a decade by now.
mircea_popescu: also should prolly be said i dun actually watch any porn.
mircea_popescu: defo not prepared to cogently argue the whys and wherefores of software decisions over a decade old
mircea_popescu: aha. i have tons of these things, not touched for >10+ years etc
mircea_popescu: i think i have copies of vlc that i've been using since 2007 or so
