esthlos: trinque phf et al:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/OYaGd/?raw=true << further steps on the vtron. currently it is freaking out when used with my ccl 1.11.5 . the make-temp-dir function phf provided throws an error on the first invocation, which prevents use
as an executable, but oddly the function works if I return to the top level and then call it again.
phf: crystal space has some complicated, xml based module system, and planeshift, i believe, approached that module system not necessarily from first principles either. i couldn't really devote enough time (and i spent couple of weeks on the whole thing the first time
as it is) to figuring out how the whole thing is supposed to come together. it's definitely possible to run it on mac, but the effort literally costs more than buying a dedicated linux box
a111: Logged on 2016-02-09 18:09 mircea_popescu: cheat
as much
as humanly possible
LordMPofTMSR: imperial boons : a wife is a female that agrees with you for
as long
as you're not saying anything and a mac is a computer that works for
as long
as you're not trying to run anything.
douchebag: ben_vulpes: I use MacOS
as my main OS because it's actually pretty nice for work. However, all of my sensitive stuff (PGP) happens in Linux VM's
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: it's a rubby trojan horse masquerading
as a package manager that posts ~/.gnupg to www.google-analytics.com
mircea_popescu: the problem defined
as "alf does not want there to exist such a thing
as a website printing random numbers" can not be solved in general. it can be rendered mute, but only by nuking the web, and the sort of item that produced it, which is to say neets.
mircea_popescu: well ? i mean what, you want to control the future now,
as a SIDE POINT ?
mircea_popescu: it's not that "nobody can be arsed". is that, unlike asciilifeform , nobody regards website-with-random-numbers
as relevant. i also don't spend my time trying to "be mentioned by new york times".
mircea_popescu: but yes, your intuition is broadly correct : usg lacks both the actual size and the self-perceived size of soviet russia.
as a result, they don't come out with a "x per rouble" statement.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 04:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, only for
as long
as they got the 50k or 1 btc.
BingoBoingo: Much
as dollars in Uruguay are U$S and pesos are $, the index unit appears
as UI or IU
mircea_popescu: comparable to how copernicus needn't have been concerned re how the scholastics all agreed with themselves. of course they did,
as part and parcel of what their cognitive system evben was, "consensus interpretations of aristotle".
ben_vulpes: plans" should be, so look at pricing
as well. if these rates are attractive to the market and we get out there and flog 'em i think there's some money to be made
mircea_popescu: also much easier for user to interact with meaningfully,
as the only way fs gets used up is by user personally putting something there ; whereas ram is eaten by 3rd party requests.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:51 mircea_popescu: be sure to make a point of pointing out this is true allocated fs space,
as most everyone sells a number but delivers a best effort
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-23 03:16 mircea_popescu: "so what's wrong with following social convention ? it has its uses, such
as you know, the rote possibility of meaning in language" "sure. there's nothing wrong with following social convention. but there's plenty wrong with attempting to enforce it on unwilling participants. maybe they have good reasons they're not following it ~in that case~."
ben_vulpes: iirc the stumbling block to a single transaction is that we want to avoid pushing BingoBoingo's local account over the minimum tax line. with i think the local equiv. of an llc BingoBoingo can receive money and it won't count
as his income until it hits his account.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i might
as well put it in the open : if anyone in the l1 / my wot is trying to buy bitcoin but has trouble doing so, i'll sell you a few
as a courtesy so we don't find ourselves in this situation where clerical difficulties enact a division in the republic.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should say "i have no proof free market in btc exists
as i've not given much of a shit re usd thence", but really now, how often needs the dough be proofed ?
mircea_popescu: this "trade without physical existence" strikes me to come out of the same pot
as "extrasensory events". really, ghost can interact with matter now ? how, prythee ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, only for
as long
as they got the 50k or 1 btc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but be that
as it may, many moons ago i eg sold some coins on an outfit davout worked for at the time ; they showed up in bank
as advertised, closed at price
as advertised etc.
esthlos: to be clear, model A is standard USG model, where I most clearly see the fraud in the tech (if you recal, my original draw here was lispm, after I read history and saw current state of retardation), and model B is trilema,
as I'm beginning to understand it
mircea_popescu: but yes, broadly speaking, the model is either closed or recycled,
as you say.
mircea_popescu: if, eg, i had found of bitcoin in 2015
as opposed to 2011, i might have conceivably bought a card concession like the debit store cards things, and simply offered it to the world until i had bought enough
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 03:02 mircea_popescu: the only known pill to the mess being a sort of encapsulation, "the worldview from x priors through y structure is z" ; which is why disciplines such
as http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815636 are even interesting to the thinking man. it's not that "in reading ancient cuneiform i gain a new skill of flour and water mixing into novel bread", but it is that "in managing to regard the world through the eyes of a reconstructed
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 20:59 mircea_popescu: well, do you then see how this is the only available blade of "fiat corrupts" for the empire ? dull and small
as it is, it's their mangy goat, one and only.
mircea_popescu: douchebag, in the same vein, "various outfits offer bitcoin plastic"
as per recent piece hanbot published.
mircea_popescu: "so what's wrong with following social convention ? it has its uses, such
as you know, the rote possibility of meaning in language" "sure. there's nothing wrong with following social convention. but there's plenty wrong with attempting to enforce it on unwilling participants. maybe they have good reasons they're not following it ~in that case~."

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: how often it can change while the individual remains realised (
as opposed to "derealized",
as in the psych term of art) is a subjective measure, in the vein of "intelligence", and a much better predictor of future performance than most anything else.
douchebag: A decentralized solution such
as bitcoin would be great for the world and for the future, however I think it will take some time before it catches on more.
As decentralized solutions begin to catch on, the banks that print currency are just going to continue to fight it
douchebag: Well, obviously there's always going to be some sort of economy.
As far
as central banks go, I think it would be better off without them - however, I'm not sure if central banks are going to disappear any time in the near future.
trinque: douchebag: the lack of reflection on what is a coping mechanism in you, and
as far
as I can tell no reflection whatsoever, that's the deficit
mircea_popescu: for completeness : to my eyes, disinterested
as i am re rando impotent sadists, the lulziest bit re chikatilo was that moment when both the defense attorney AND the prosecutor indicted the judge
as being fucking clueless.
mircea_popescu: it's altogether doubtful the history of mankind includes such an item
as the "success story".
mircea_popescu: and once that is done : connect to every machine on the internet, for ssh ~and
https~, and extract all the keys they have, such
as the item you listed above, yes, for ssh, and the pubkeys they keep in cert dirs for
https. douchebag: Hell, I would even be more willing to get paid less
as long
as I knew it wasn't going to be the same shit, everyday, with no signs of ever improving
mircea_popescu: specifically that your expectation that the solution to the " it doesn't require any critical thinking, and in fact is discourages it" problem being "change the job" is about
as naive
as thinking the solution to "there's no deeper connection" is "change hooker".
mircea_popescu: and which also illuminates the indictment of xtianity
as a fundamentally female worldview, and all the rest of
http://trilema.com/2017/and-dont-go-around-upgrading-the-testaments-either/ : by the time they invent a "son" of god so that "You don't follow for a very simple reason : these men are screwballs. God has children ? What, and a dog ? A collie, maybe ? God doesn't have children. He's a bachelor. And very angry!" "He us
douchebag: I'd also like to publish writeups about my research and be recognized
as someone who actually knows what the hell they're doing.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 22:32 douchebag: I want to work a fulfilling job where I know that I am actually providing a good service and giving customers a high quality security audit
as well
as high quality security products
mircea_popescu:
as it happens, mostly
as a function of personal bias, ~everyone here with the exception of me assings value to engineering and no value to whoring. i tend to assign a value of about to cents to either, allowing for roundings.
mircea_popescu: neither this decision, nor the definitions of the terms involved, work
as a matter of future projection. it's all in the past, the singer processes past experience one way, the engineer another way. that's all there is to it.
douchebag: I would be doing a more comprehensive audit,
as well
as telling them exactly what they need to do to actually be secure their company - even though my service would require more work for them it would be a betterend result for them
douchebag: I want to work a fulfilling job where I know that I am actually providing a good service and giving customers a high quality security audit
as well
as high quality security products
☟︎ douchebag: I think reverse engineering is cool
as fuck, however it's not going to be very helpful to achieve my end goal
mircea_popescu: but then again,
as you discover ~no store holds anything interesting anyway,
as seen in recent logs...
mircea_popescu: also, "convenience"
as in store etc, is not supportable in kingdom, monarchy only item. which is why you want to buy parts and your 1600 counterpart had them hand-made by expert he maintained relatiosnhip with (ie, house and so on)
mircea_popescu: so far that's even the reason empire crossed the threshold into oblivion ( i'm too lazy to dig up ye olde trilema where i say "state may exist for
as long
as it so closely mimmicks my will i can't discern it's there, and not one second past that" ) and now must be destroyed. had it had the sense (rather, the capacity) to maintain both forms, i'd nwever have even noticed it, and it could have continued to exist therefore.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: consider the illustrative case of art. so a man gets an itch, and
as a result of this itch in due time comes an item.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspect we might be the only ones to have ~ever~ produced an item that doesn't specifically benefit from headcount
as such.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, but only
as a "low high headcount".
mircea_popescu: "transform through culture --
as long
as the fundamentals don't change". or, in caragiale's words, century+ ago, "Din două una, dați-mi voie: ori să se revizuiască, primesc! dar să nu se schimbe nimica; ori să nu se revizuiască, primesc! dar atunci să se schimbe pe ici pe colo, și anume în punctele... esențiale... Din această dilemă nu puteți ieși... Am zis! "
mircea_popescu: i suspect you're profiled
as "crotchety old man with no social skills" because "technical expertise must have this fatal flaw"
as per the cinematic rolodex of fatal flaws.
mircea_popescu: this is ~all they see, and therefore they believe it. hey, if you're
as cute
as a button and don't bow to patriarchy, you can just walk with a hunk of gold from fort knox.
mircea_popescu: classical london, the model the us briefly seemed to manage immitating, was the place where all sorts of orcs (such
as you know, lenin) went into "exile", because unlike their originating goatfuckistan, london did not give a shit about "politics" and "ideologies". because it had a better one.
mircea_popescu: sure. yet, for illustration : suppose camelfucker (
as esltard imagines it) were sent to bomb vhs-america (
as orc imagines it). the result ? after weeks of silence, "hey man, why do you want to harm these ppl, they're cool. i put in my greencard application and found a local gf, don't call her a whore she just likes to give head in bathrooms, it's all good"
mircea_popescu: well, do you then see how this is the only available blade of "fiat corrupts" for the empire ? dull and small
as it is, it's their mangy goat, one and only.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and the cost ~to the system~ (because no, NOBODY who speaks english
as a primary language PRODUCES anything, nor has, nor will while this lasts) of either kind is very finely equal
mircea_popescu: because tghat's the other angle of it : the "enchanted world of carding" is carefully engineered so it works
as about 92% of the return-per-work that "legit" drudgery works out to .
